ACQUISITIONS

ChemChina buys Syngenta US$43 billion deal will preserve choice for its customers, says Syngenta chief operating officer SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Growers should be happy that ChemChina is acquiring Syngenta instead of Monsanto, says Syngenta’s chief operating officer. “What is particularly pleasing about this particular outcome from my point of view is that it helps to preserve choice for growers at a time when in our industry we’re seeing a lot of consolidation,” Davor Pisk told reporters during a conference call. Syngenta’s board of directors has unanimously approved ChemChina’s cash offer valued at more than US$43 billion to acquire 100 percent of Syngenta’s shares. The transaction requires approval by two-thirds of Syngenta’s shareholders. It also requires regulatory approval. Pisk expects the

deal to close before the end of 2016. ChemChina is the largest chemical corporation in China. The stateowned firm generated $45 billion of sales in 2015 and ranks 265th on the Fortune 500. Monsanto had been in discussions with Syngenta for a share and cash offer worth $47 billion. However, Pisk said its competitor did not table a formal offer. “With a merger between Monsanto and Syngenta we would have had one less player in an industry that is already now getting further concentrated following the Dow and DuPont announcement,” he said. Dow and DuPont announced in December they were merging to form DowDuPont with a combined value of $130 billion. SEE CHEMCHINA, PAGE 4

GLOBAL GRAIN GROUP

Vancouver G3 terminal approval in final stage Many North Vancouver residents oppose the new facility but the company president says concerns are ‘normal stuff’ that it is addressing BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Plans to construct a new grain export terminal in North Vancouver are moving ahead as expected, despite concerns from North Vancouver residents who say the project will add dust, noise and traffic to their neighbourhood. Karl Gerrand, president and chief executive officer of G3 Global Grain Group Canada Ltd., said he hopes that G3’s $500 million North Shore terminal project will be approved w ithin four or five months. Barring unexpected delays, construction is expected to take about three years, meaning the new facility could be operational by the fall of 2019. “We are optimistic that we would have a permit in place by May or maybe at the very latest in June,” Gerrand said in a Feb. 6 interview. “We would hope to have board approvals from our respective shareholders very shortly after that permit is approved … (so) we could proceed on construction by mid to late summer of this year.” G3’s permit approval process began last year and is now in its final phase. Despite an open house that shared details of the project, distribution of printed material to local residents, presentations to North Vancouver city officials and various other public awareness initiatives, news of the proposed construction came as a surprise to some residents.

KARL GERRAND G3 GLOBAL GRAIN GROUP CANADA LTD.

Gerrand said concerns raised by North Vancouver community members were consistent with what would be expected given the magnitude of G3’s proposed facility. “We got some really good feedback from the local community,” he said. “We got a few concerns that were expressed … normal stuff that you would expect to hear from local residents who are concerned about their community … like sightlines, noise, dust, traffic and that kind of stuff, all of which we are addressing and have listened to carefully….” Concerns raised during the consultation phase were nothing that would be considered “concerning to the project,” he added.

The proposed G3 terminal is viewed by many grain industry stakeholders as a major initiative that will improve throughput efficiency at the West Coast, add export capacity and enhance competition among prairie grainhandlers. Petition organized But some North Vancouver residents have a different view of the project. Opponents set up a Facebook page last month to inform community members about the G3 plan. They also launched an online petition that had collected more than 550 signatures and numerous comments as of Feb. 3. Organizers of the petition were not immediately available for comment but residents who signed the petition voiced numerous concerns through an online forum. “If this proposal goes through, homes in the (vicinity) … will be subject to three years of demolition and construction noise and dust, including pile driving, five days a week, 10 hours a day, along with increased traffic congestion on the roads adjacent to the port,” organizers said on their website entitled Stop G3 in North Vancouver. If approved, G3’s terminal will be constructed at the LynnTerm Westgate site on the North Vancouver waterfront. Gerrand said the terminal has the potential to reduce heavy truck traffic in the area because all incoming grain will be moved by rail. The proposed terminal will consist of a loop track rail system, a 64-metre tall storage facility, an 81 metre cleaning facility, a series of 48 concrete storage silos each standing 43 metres high, an overhead conveyor system and associated components. The facility is being designed for throughput capacity of up to eight million tonnes per year, although the company is targeting initial capacity at around six million tonnes. “From a storage perspective, we’re still sorting out the final bin configurations … but we expect it will be in the range of 180,000 tonnes of storage,” said Gerrand. “The storage component is a little less than some of the other facilities on the North Shore, simply because our model is going to be much different,” he added. “Grain is going to move much quicker through the facility. We’re not a storer of grain. We want to be a mover of grain.” G3 Terminal Vancouver is a joint venture between G3 Global Holdings and Western Stevedoring Company Ltd., a subsidiary of Carrix Inc., based in Seattle, Wash. brian.cross@producer.com

MANITOBA SWINE SEMINAR

Don’t be lax on hog biosecurity Producers warned about risks of PED spread at assembly yards BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Western Canada has successfully stopped the spread of porcine epidemic diarrhea, but there is still great danger, says the general manager of Manitoba Pork Council. Assembly yards are still risky, many people still don’t follow biosecurity rules and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is threatening to abandon a truck cleaning system that has controlled the disease. Now is no time for complacency. “Our sows are still sensitive to this disease. Our baby pigs in particular are sensitive to this disease. We have to work hard at controlling this,” Andrew Dickson told the Manitoba Swine Seminar Feb. 3. ASSEMBLY YARDS Dickson said assembly yards are still “a potential source of the disease” because pigs from different barns move through them and some truckers aren’t taking biosecurity seriously.

“We’ve got people delivering animals at these assembly yards getting out of their trucks, wandering around the yards, using no booties or anything, getting back into their trucks and driving back to the farm,” said Dickson. “You are bringing disease home.” ON-FARM BIOSECURITY Some people are still ignoring biosecurity rules. Dickson described a recent situation in which a lost trucker wandered through a hog farm, past biosecurity signs, went into a hog barn, talked to the barn owner while the manager was cleaning the barn and then left. Even some barn workers and hog truckers don’t understand onfarm security. “It can’t be just one or two people knowing how this thing works,” he said. “The whole operation has to be aware and sensitive to the use of biosecurity.” RELAXED TRUCK WASHING RULES The Manitoba hog industry is

worried about infection from the United States appearing if the Canadian Food Inspection Agency relaxes truck-washing standards. Trucks that have hauled pigs to U.S. farms must now go to inspected, certified cleaning facilities in Manitoba that do not use recycled water. That has helped keep out PED. However, the CFIA is considering allowing truckers to go back to the old system of having trucks washed in the U.S., which worries Dickson. U.S. veterinarians don’t think they have a good system and admire the system used in Manitoba. “We’re hoping CFIA will come to its senses and allow us to continue this special pilot project we’ve got in Manitoba and not go back to the old rule.” ed.white@producer.com

Manitoba hog industry urged to rebuild Provincial gov’t relaxes moratorium on new barn construction as pork council asks producers to expand the industry BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

A lot of little ideas could make the next generation of Manitoba hog feeder barns a lot cheaper. That’s the hope of industry leaders as they encourage farmers to start considering building new and replacement barns that incorporate fresh ideas from farmers and suppliers across the industry. Persuading farmers to build and produce is vital because Manitoba desperately needs more than one million more feeder pigs per year to get underused packing plants such as the one in Brandon going at full speed. “We need to have more finisher barns in the province,” Manitoba Pork Council general manager Andrew Dickson told the Manitoba Swine Seminar Feb. 3. “We need to bring more balance between our structural capacity and our processing capacity, and we’re short pigs.” The provincial government has slightly relaxed its moratorium on hog barn construction, allowing a handful of barns to be built in a pilot project that follows strict rules and oversight. Dickson said pork council had hoped that three or four new barns would be built this year, but “it’s getting late now.” Dozens of barns are needed to produce the market hogs to help comfortably supply the plants in Brandon and Neepawa, so the immediate problem will not be soon resolved. However, Dickson hopes a steady stream of farmers going through the approval protocol will start to alleviate the critical situation. Maple Leaf’s second shift in Brandon is running far beneath capacity because of the diminishing num-

tive ideas could significantly lower those costs: • How could standard building materials be used to replace custom-sized materials used in today’s barns? • Are all the slat and ventilation systems used now necessary, or are some overbuilt? • Could designs themselves be tweaked to be cheaper? These are the questions the pork council is asking the industry. Dickson said Farm Credit Canada’s willingness to loan higher amounts of money against construction of new facilities is a further piece of good news. Until recently, FCC would loan only 65 percent of the cost of barns built for $250 per hog place, but that’s far beneath realistic contemporary costs, Dickson said. FCC is now willing to lend up to 65 percent of $500 per place. There will likely be a great amount of construction in Manitoba’s hog industry at some point. Little new building has occurred for almost a decade, so not only is there need for many new feeder barns to raise piglets that are now shipped south, but the barns of the last expansion are wearing out. “Our barns are aging and we’re going to have to start replacing capacity to produce the existing number of pigs,” said Dickson. ed.white@producer.com

ber of market hogs available. Manitoba’s hog industry has shrunk in recent years as it was hit by a bewildering array of challenges: a provincial moratorium that froze construction of new facilities, country-of-origin labelling in the United States that devastated sow farms reliant on U.S. buyers and the surge of the Canadian dollar in the

late 2000s to early 2010s, which demolished profitability. However, the industry is now making money and recovering from many of the challenges. The moratorium is relaxing, COOL is history and the Canadian dollar is back to levels common in most of the years since the early 1980s. The pork council posted a couple

of feeder barn designs on its website in December, including details on costs, but it is also soliciting farmer and industry feedback on how to shave costs. The 2,000 place feeder barn originally cost $600 per place, but the cost could fall to $500 if the barn increases to 4,000 spots. However, Dickson thinks innova-

CHEMCHINA WINS BID TO ACQUIRE SYNGENTA » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Pisk said a takeover by Monsanto would have resulted in “cost synergies,” which means job losses and streamlined product offerings. Eric Johnson, weed science research assistant at the University of Saskatchewan and former Agriculture Canada weed biologist, agreed that a deal with Monsanto might not have been in the best interest of growers. “It’s possible you would be down to three really big companies and that could conceivably reduce competition, that’s for sure,” he said. Syngenta is the world’s top seller of crop protection products. The company posted sales of $11.4 billion in 2014, which gave it a 20 percent share of the market followed by Bayer at 18 percent and BASF at 13 percent. It is also the third largest seed company with sales of $3.2 billion in 2014 for an eight percent market share behind DuPont at 20 percent and Monsanto at 26 percent. Johnson said the company offers a broad spectrum of crop protection products. “They have good herbicides,

good fungicides and insecticides. So they’re a major player in all three,” he said. ChemChina is the majority owner of ADAMA, a manufacturer of generic agrochemicals that ranked seventh on the 2013 list with $2.9 billon in sales. Clark Brenzil, weed control specialist for Saskatchewan Agriculture, isn’t convinced the Monsanto takeover would have been that bad for growers. He said Monsanto is more of a seed and traits company these days. It has largely exited the pesticide business with the notable exception of glyphosate, so there would have been little product overlap. Brenzil also doesn’t anticipate producers will notice much consolidation in product lines with ChemChina owning both Syngenta and ADAMA because Syngenta tends to focus on patent protected products while ADAMA’s specialty is generics. For instance, for herbicides containing the active ingredient clodinafop, Syngenta sells Horizon while ADAMA markets the generic product Ladder. “ The two compete directly

against nine other products, so if you lose one of those products there’s still lots of selection around for the producer,” he said. “I think there is plenty of competitive pressure around that you’re not going to see a spike in prices.” Pisk said there were financial and regulatory reasons why ChemChina’s offer was preferable to pursuing a deal with Monsanto. It was an all cash offer compared to Monsanto’s share and cash proposal. He pointed out Monsanto’s share price has decreased 25 to 30 percent since the discussions took place. And there is little overlap between the asset portfolios of Syngenta and ChemChina compared to significant overlap with Monsanto. “What we were certainly concerned about with any potential offer from Monsanto were the regulatory clearances that would be required, which would be quite significant challenges,” he said. Monsanto says it will continue to focus on its “strong stand-alone growth plan” and will remain disciplined when it comes to any future acquisitions. “This latest announcement does

not change our view on our leadership position in the industry,” said Monsanto Canada spokesperson Trish Jordan. “We believe we’ll remain the innovation partner of choice given the breadth and depth of our business and pipeline.” Syngenta will continue to operate as a stand-alone company based out of Switzerland. The existing management will stay on to run the company. Four members of Syngenta’s existing board of directors will sit on the new 10-member board chaired by Ren Jianxin, who is also chair of ChemChina. There is expected to be minimal disruption to Syngenta’s existing operations, and it will continue to spend nine to 10 percent of annual revenues on research and development. “One area that we’ve been very clear on is that the future of Syngenta will require a commitment to maintaining levels of research and development spending in line with what we have today,” said Pisk. Jianxin expanded on that statement in a video interview posted on the company’s website.

“For ChemChina this acquisition is about growth and innovation. We will support continuing investment to ensure that growth,” he said in the English translation of the video. He also talked about ChemChina’s vision for Syngenta. “We see big opportunities for the company to expand its presence in emerging markets and notably China where there is rapid modernization driven by the need to increase grain production and increase food quality,” said Jianxin. Pisk was asked if the new association with ChemChina will improve the company’s ability to get its genetically modified crops through China’s cumbersome and complicated regulatory system. He said it wouldn’t expedite the process but it may provide a better opportunity to discuss the system with Chinese officials. “Maybe we can understand the issues better than we could if we were completely on the outside looking in,” said Pisk. “We can be more effective at getting our point of view across and on influencing as well over the long-term.” sean.pratt@producer.com

Vegetable farmer-MP elected chair of federal ag committee BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A vegetable and greenhouse grower from New Brunswick has been elected chair of the House of Common’s agriculture committee. Two other farmers were also elected chairs of committees last week. Pat Finnigan, who represents Miramichi-Grand Lake, is a rookie MP elected in the Liberal red sweep of Atlantic Canada in last fall’s election. “I’m a career farmer, probably a different kind of a farmer than you would see out west,” he said in an interview after the committee met for the first time Feb. 3. However, he said he recognizes western issues, namely grain handling and transportation, and said he will rely on western MPs to help him understand.

“I know I won’t become an expert overnight. That’s why the committee around the table,” he said, adding that there are organizations across the country with their fingers on the pulse of what farmers need. He expects to see those organizations before the committee. The next agricultural policy framework and the Canadian Transportation Act review are two items he said the committee will likely discuss. On the policy framework, Finnigan said farmers need business risk management tools, and those in his riding expressed concern about cuts. “It’s been changed or modified so much in the last few years some farmers are still having a hard time to understand it and apply it to their farm,” he said of Agri-Stability. Finnigan grew up on a small farm

and attended Nova Scotia Agricultural College, where he obtained a botany degree. His father was a pioneer in the brussels sprouts industry. “Field crops was my specialty, but after working a couple of years with the department of agriculture, I had the opportunity to extend my knowledge in greenhouse production and from there I eventually started my own business,” he said. The business is a family farm established in the late 1970s as Mr. Tomato, which includes greenhouse vegetables, annuals, ornamentals, and a non-farm market with a bakery and gift shop. The vegetables are now certified organic. The market has expanded several times and to several locations. Finnigan said he was never involved in politics but was exten-

sively involved in community and agricultural organizations. That included a term as chair of the Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick and time as a board member of the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council. “It opened my eyes to the national scope of agriculture at the time, especially on the human resource and labour side,” he said. However, he was approached a couple of years ago and, despite thinking he didn’t have a chance, won a five-way nomination race in the riding where forestry, fisheries and agriculture are the three main industries. “For me it’s been certainly a change of pace, a learning curve. We’re right in the process right now of transition with our farm. That’s probably going to take place over

the next year.” Bev Shipley, a Conservative MP from Ontario and the previous chair, is the first vice-chair of the committee. Ruth Ellen Brosseau, an NDP member from Quebec and also a previous committee member, is the second vice-chair. Meanwhile, Mark Eyking, the previous Liberal agriculture critic and a former vegetable grower from Nova Scotia, is chair of the international trade committee, and Wayne Easter, a long-time Prince Edward Island MP, former cabinet minister and for mer National Farmers Union president, will chair the finance committee.

Turkish pasta imports contentious issue The Canadian Pasta Manufacturers Associations says subsidized production is hurting local millers and wheat growers BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian pasta manufacturers want importers to stop bringing subsidized Turkish pasta into the countr y because it is hurting them along w ith millers and farmers. “Canada is becoming the North American dumping ground for cheap Turkish pasta,” said Don Jarvis, executive director of the Canadian Pasta Manufacturers Association (CPMA). “We are extremely concerned about the impacts that subsidized and dumped pasta will have on local Canadian businesses.” More than five million tonnes of pasta was imported into Canada from Turkey between January and November 2015, almost tripling 2014 import volumes. The landed price of that pasta was 50 percent less than Italian imports and 40 percent cheaper than U.S. imports, according to Statistics Canada. What makes the Canadian manufacturers nervous is that Turkish pasta is now being used in one of the house brands of a major Canadian retailer and more could follow. They believe it poses a serious threat to the $300 to $400 million in annual Canadian pasta sales and to the millers and farmers who supply manufacturers with product. The manufacturers typically consume 10 percent of Canada’s durum crop. Bill Gehl, chair of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, doesn’t care if his durum goes to a Canadian pasta maker or one overseas. What he cares about is that it is sold to the highest bidder. “That really is the question nowadays. Is Canadian wheat and durum being sold at a premium as it used to be?” he said. Gehl doesn’t think that is the case. “It seems that Canadian wheat is not only selling at a discount to American wheat over the last three years but it’s being sold sometimes

If they don’t, the association will initiate a complaint with the Canadian Border Services Agency and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal requesting anti-dumping and counter vailing duties be applied to Turkish pasta. AGT Food and Ingredients operates the third largest pasta plant in Turkey. It exports its Arbella brand pasta to Canada and is also supplying the pasta used by some Canadian retailers in their brands. Company president Murad AlKatib said allegations that his com-

pany and others are dumping subsidized pasta are bogus. “It’s absolutely ridiculous,” he said. “For our company, we don’t buy any wheat from the Turkish government. We buy Canadian wheat. We buy Mexican wheat. We buy Turkish local production directly from farmers.” He can’t understand why Canadian manufacturers are so upset

about Turkish imports, which amount to $5 million of the $200 million in total pasta imports. Al Katib believes Turkish pasta is cheap because of the devaluation of the Turkish lira. “Canadian manufacturers have to compete. They’re part of a global market and we think that competition is really good,” said Al-Katib. CPMA’s members are Catelli, Italpasta, Primo and Grisspasta. They are all located in Eastern Canada and account for 95 to 98 percent of Canadian production. “You’ve got the big eastern Canadian players who have been established for a long, long time and it sounds like they don’t want a lot of competition,” said Al-Katib. They could be facing more competition from AGT because the company recently added a spe-

cialty pasta production line at its facility in Mersin, Turkey, that will be operating at full capacity in 2016 and is also adding a sixth traditional pasta line this year. Jarvis said it is absurd that Canadian durum can be shipped to Turkey and then turned into pasta that is shipped back to Canada and sold at a lower cost than Canadian product. “That’s the real issue when you have subsidized production.” The U.S. has been applying import duties on Turkish pasta for 20 years. Those duties were recently reviewed and additional duties were applied. “You can’t buy Turkish pasta in the U.S. and that’s our concern that it’s being diverted here,” said Jarvis. sean.pratt@producer.com

The company that played a major role in building Canada’s thriving pulse industry is turning its attention to a cereal crop. “We’re going to see a durum story unfolding like we saw in the lentil story,” said Murad Al-Katib, president of AGT Food and Ingredients. AGT acquired Mobil Capital Holdings in October for $57.5 million, which gave it a grain cleaning and loading operation in central Saskatchewan and two short-line railways in the province. Six months earlier AGT had bought West Central Road & Rail for $22 million, which gave it five Saskatchewan producer car-loading facilities. Both firms were active players in the durum business. “We’ve only talked about (durum) in the last few years, but this was always part of our vision at AGT,” said Al-Katib.

MURAD AL-KATIB AGT FOOD AND INGREDIENTS

The Arslan family, which cofounded the company with Al-Katib, has a long history of lentil and durum processing in Turkey, and that was always the plan for the Canadian operations. “We’ve done lentils and now we’re focusing on durum wheat, so that’s the strategy,” said Al-Katib. “We believe that our market access, our processing know-how and our financing capability is a winning model.” Durum was the natural next step for AGT because it is grown in rotation with lentils in west-central Saskatchewan. Al-Katib said the future is bright for durum because pasta, bulgur wheat and couscous are staples consumed daily in the Middle East and North Africa. “Their consumption is rising dramatically and their production is stagnant,” he said.

He is also excited about the market potential in Turkey, which is where the company’s pasta plant is located. Turkey is the world’s second largest exporter of pasta. “We think it’s a really big market for Canadian durum producers. We think that Turkey will become a Top 10 durum export market for Canada in the next five years,” said Al-Katib. However, it’s not all about exporting the raw product. He believes pasta plants will also be popping up in Saskatchewan and Alberta. “Whether it’s AGT or other companies, we expect investment on the Prairies to happen.” One of the main reasons for his optimism is the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union, which gets rid of punitive duties on processed products shipped to the EU. Bill Gehl, chair of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, isn’t as convinced there will be a thriving durum processing industry. “Certainly having a pasta plant built in the West would be nice, but I haven’t seen one yet, so I think there are some questions there,” he said. AGT announced in 2011 that it was going to build a $50 million pulse and durum milling plant and pasta manufacturing facility near Regina. However, it indefinitely postponed the project seven months later due to disappointing earnings. Gehl thinks there is a flaw in building a plant so far away from large consumption markets like the EU. “What’s easier to ship around the world, a boat hold full of durum or a container full of macaroni?” he said. He agrees with Al-Katib that durum has a bright future in Western Canada, but it also has shortterm challenges. “This fusarium issue on durum is a significant one,” he said. Breeders at Agriculture Canada and the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre are trying to breed fusarium resistance into future varieties, but it’s a time-consuming process. “We’re far further away with durum than we are with wheat,” said Gehl. It means growers continue to face price volatility in the short-term because in dry years they will have too much quality durum and in wet years there won’t be enough. sean.pratt@producer.com

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Gluten-free demand spurs premium for buckwheat Canadian millers are paying good prices to meet the demand for flour BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A Manitoba seed dealer is offering $16.50 a bushel for new crop buckwheat because eastern Canadian demand is surpassing supply. Buckwheat flour is a hot item in parts of Quebec and Ontario, thanks in part to the gluten-free consumer trend. “Before it was in the bin (last year), I had a waiting list (of buyers),” said Marc Durand, who operates Durand Seeds and farms near Notre Dame des Lourdes, Man. “That’s why I’m offering a little more (for new crop). I know the demand is there…. I’m contracting at $16.50 per bu. That’s for certified No. 1. That’s about two bucks higher than last year.” Most of Manitoba’s buckwheat crop has historically been exported to Japan to produce soba noodles, but the market has shifted in recent years. More of it now stays in North America and is milled into buckwheat flour.

Eastern Canadian millers will essentially buy everything they can get from Manitoba, Durand said. The millers can afford to pay because buckwheat flour is a premium product in Quebec. Au Moulin Bleu, a small miller in Quebec, is selling a two kilogram bag of buckwheat flour on its website for $8. In comparison, it sells kamut flour for $4 and whole wheat flour for $3. Manitoba farmers are responding to the strong prices. Buckwheat plantings increased to an estimated 10,000 acres in 2015 from 4,000 to 5,000 in recent years. Production was also up. Last fall, many growers reported buckwheat yields of 20 to 30 bu. per acre. Mo s t o f t h e a c re a g e ga i n s came in Manitoba’s Parkland region because of a new buyer contracting acres north and west of Dauphin. Don and Ben Fyk, who farm near Ethelbert, Man., are planning to build a $15 million buckwheat processing plant in the area and will need 30,000 to 50,000 acres of

MARKET BIG PICTURE

Crop sales make sense while loonie is weak U.S. economy could struggle in 2016, weakening its currency BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The cheap Canadian dollar provides a significant crop marketing opportunity, said analysts who spoke in Edmonton recently. When the dollar falls, Canadian farmers get more loonies for every sale on the world market, where transactions are generally priced in U.S. dollars. “We’re looking at an extremely weak Canadian dollar right now … even though it’s bounced up from its recent lows,” said John DePutter, president of DePutter Publishing Ltd. “In a general sense, the Canadian dollar is giving the farmer some extra money for his or her pocket. I suggest that you put some of that money in your pocket.” DePutter was one of two market analysts who spoke to growers at FarmTech in Edmonton Jan. 25-28. He and Errol Anderson, president of ProMarket Communications, said the Canadian dollar could lose more value yet. But they agreed the loonie is nearing the bottom of a persistent downward slide that began three years ago and gained momentum through 2015. DePutter’s advice to Canadian growers? Strike while the iron is hot. Growers should not be overly concerned with whether the dollar will lose more ground in the coming months, he added. Instead, they should take what’s available now. “Basically, the Canadian dollar is passing a pie around the table, so why not take a piece of the pie?” DePutter said. “That might involve making a 15

It might involve getting a little bit of new crop production on the books. It might involve making a wheat sale, or maybe you’re feeling a bit undersold in some other markets that are sensitive to the exchange rates. “It doesn’t matter whether the Canadian dollar has bottomed out or not…. It’s giving you something right now that you want to accept, I think.” Anderson offered a similar view, suggesting that the American dollar has plateaued. If it pulls back, the loonie might strengthen. The U.S. economy — presumed to be a stabilizing force in a sea of

global economic uncertainty — is beginning to show signs of weakness, he added. “I don’t know exactly when, but it will be sometime this year that the U.S. dollar will break.” Anderson painted a bleak picture of the global and American economies. Signs of instability include massive and unsustainable debt levels in many countries, deflated commodity prices, negative or nearnegative interest rates in many developed nations, stalled or at least over-estimated economic growth prospects in the United States and China, devalued global currencies relative to the U.S. dollar

and an overdependence on economic stimulus as a means to keep the ailing economies chugging forward. Anderson said weak commodity prices, particularly in industrial and precious metals such as gold, silver and copper, suggest that the world is now in the bust phase of a boom and bust cycle. Most commodities, including oil, are trading at a fraction of peak values witnessed between 2008 and 2012. Anderson said there are signs that tough times may be in store. Recent attempts to normalize U.S. lending rates have not had their intended impact, he said.

Efforts to stimulate economic activity through monetary intervention have proven largely ineffective, he added. DePutter offered a similar assessment. “I think it’s appropriate to say that we are now seeing the bust part of a boom phase in the commodity world.” DePutter noted American stock markets have shown remarkable resilience relative to markets in Canada, Europe and Asia. That has some analysts warning that U.S. equities markets are in line for a correction. “When I look across the commodity world and I see a lot of markets coming off their highs … and then I look at those U.S. stock markets … they’re still up there. They haven’t come down,” DePutter said “So if you look at a market sector that seems to have a lot of air underneath it, I’d say it’s the U.S. stock market indexes.” Looking at farm commodities, DePutter said the long-term canola outlook looks bright. In the short-term, however, canola values could respond negatively to a strengthening Canadian dollar or a large South American soybean harvest. If, as expected, farmers in South America take off a large crop, North American oilseed prices could soften over the next few weeks. Global wheat supplies are large and U.S. stocks are being drawn down only slowly. Those supply and demand factors, combined with the weak loonie, suggest that it is a good time to lock in some prices with incremental sales. Unlike the U.S, Canada has been exporting wheat at a steady pace, DePutter said. Canada’s carry-out inventories will be small, suggesting domestic support for new crop prices this fall. brian.cross@producer.com

CATTLE

Wild beef market volatility starts to calm down BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The beef industry’s three year roller coaster ride should be slowing down. The U.S. beef market varied by 32 percent in 15 months with wild swings from record prices to dizzying losses, said market analysts at the Jan. 25-29 National Cattlemen’s Association meeting in San Diego. “We went through the third largest rally in the history of the industry from 2014-15, then we turned around and went through the third largest break in history in this last 12 months,” said Cattlefax chief executive officer Randy Blach. “This is the second most volatile market in history,” Blach said. “It is more volatile than when we had BSE.” Cow-calf producers enjoyed considerable profitability as they sold their stock for record prices, but those high-priced calves had consequences for the feedlot sector. “Stocker operators, cattle feeders were buying $100-$150 losers in

the fall of 2014 into the spring of 2015,” he said. Feedlots that weren’t hedged lost $5.1 billion in 2015-16, compared to a record profit of $5.6 billion 2013-14. Fed cattle prices increased $28 per hundredweight in 2014 from 2013. “Typically within the first 12 to 18 months when the market pops, we are giving back all the equity that we have made, assuming that we weren’t hedged. This wasn’t any different,” he said. “Equity has left the industry.” The packing sector also slumped with slaughter falling to 23 million head in 2015 from 30 million 10 years ago. Plants closed across the U.S. Those remaining are working closer to capacity. These extreme changes were due to several factors, starting with a shortage of pork, beef and poultry a year ago, which drove meat prices higher. The U.S. dollar began to rise against other currencies, hurting American meat exports. The United States has historically exported 16 billion pounds of meat,

which is 17 percent of the total U.S. meat supply. In 2015, exports fell to 14 billion lb., and Americans had to eat that extra meat. High prices and better growing conditions across the country encouraged renewed expansion of the American herd. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the current rebuilding phase is the most significant in 20 years: more heifers are staying home for breeding and fewer cows are being shipped for slaughter. That ultimately will ease tight beef supplies when their offspring go to market in the next couple years. “We do think we will continue to expand but at a slower pace,” said analyst Kevin Good. “We think cow slaughter will start to pick up but still at a pace that suggests expansion.” Fed cattle lost big money as carcasses became record large in the fourth quarter of 2015 but margins are starting to recover as weights fall. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

The Canfax weighted steer average was $177.21 per hundredweight, down $1.72, while heifers were $175.88, down $2.32. Dressed steers traded around $295 per cwt. The loonie rallied, pressuring Canadian prices lower. Lift dates were generally three to five weeks out. The cash to futures basis of -$11.50 matched the five year average. American cash trade developed late. In thin trade, cash cattle fetched US$136 per cwt, down from $138 the previous week. We e k l y w e s t e r n C a n a d i a n slaughter to Jan. 30 surged 14 percent to 30,832 head. Weekly fed exports to Jan. 23 rose six percent to 6,032 head. Market-ready fed supply this week will likely be ample to the needs of local packers but American demand might help support prices.

Demand for grass cattle remains firm. The western Canadian calf index closed $1 higher at $253.71, which was the highest since mid-November. Grass buyers have mostly focused on 550-650 pound steers and heifers. A few have bought up to 700 lb., but they back off from 725 lb. and heavier. The western Canadian feeder index was at the lowest point this year, closing just below $220. These heavier backgrounder feeders would go to market in the traditionally sluggish summer fed market. The 850 lb. steer Alberta cash-tofutures basis level remains strong, limiting the chance for price gains. Canadian feeder exports to the U.S. usually increase in the first quarter, but exports are lagging this year. If this continues, it might add price and basis risk into the second half of 2016. Bred cows were $1,700-$2,300.

It was the first time in 10 years that January did not post the first half low. Many feeder cows that were bought on speculation last fall have been on feed for 60 to 90 days. Prices have hardly improved from when they were put on feed. Given negative margins, cows traditionally marketed in January are being carried into February in hope of a price bounce. Prices might revisit $110 in the second half of the month.

Wheat carryout could be smallest since Dirty Thirties CANADIAN WHEAT STOCKS PLUMMET

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

anadian non-durum wheat stocks by the end of the crop year could be the smallest since the 1930s as exports and domestic use gobble up available supply. Statistics Canada’s Dec. 31 stocks report, which was based on producer surveys, supported this view and also supported the agency’s canola production estimate, weakening the view of some private analysts that it had overestimated the crop size. Statistics Canada pegged Dec. 31 stocks of wheat, excluding durum, at 16.46 million tonnes, down from 21.5 million at the same time in 2014 and the smallest since 2007. The agency also provided its assessment of demand to Dec. 31. Exports in the first five months of the crop year were running 2.6 percent ahead of last year at the same point, and domestic use (mainly feed demand) was running 7.8 percent ahead of last year. Statistics Canada’s reports give us the actual supply and demand numbers while Agriculture Canada periodically makes forecasts. Agriculture Canada has forecast that wheat stocks, excluding durum, will fall to three million tonnes by the end of the crop year. That is based on a forecast that exports and domestic use will fall short of last year’s pace. However, demand was running ahead of last year for most of the first half of the year, so it is not a stretch to wonder if Agriculture Canada is too cautious on its forecasts. The carryout forecast of three million tonnes is already the smallest since the 1930s, and there is a possibility it could get even tighter if exports and domestic use continue to run ahead of last year. Clearly, Canada is not contributing to the world oversupply of wheat that is weighing down prices. Canada’s strong wheat export pace has been helped by the weak loonie, which helps exporters undersell American product. Alas, the small carryout here won’t push wheat futures higher because the market is focused on analytics such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s forecast that American wheat carryout stocks

Agriculture Canada forecasts all wheat stocks at the end of the crop year will fall to 4.2 million tonnes, one of the lowest carryouts ever since the droughts of the 1930s. Carryout of non-durum wheat is expected to be exceptionally tight at three million tonnes, while durum might increase a little from last year. The forecast assumes exports and domestic use would be a little less than last year, but in the ﬁrst ﬁve months of the crop year to Dec. 31 they are running ahead of last year's pace. This implies that the carryout might be smaller than the forecast, or that the pace of exports and domestic use would have to slow.

NON-DURUM CARRYOUT FORECAST AT

three million tonnes will climb to 25.6 million tonnes from 20.5 million the previous year and the International Grains Council’s forecast of major wheat exporter stocks climbing to 71 million tonnes from 63 million tonnes at the end of 2014-15. However, our tight situation should help improve the basis in farmers’ favour. Statistics Canada’s Dec. 31 stocks report did not help the market outlook for durum. Stocks at 4.22 million were a little larger than the previous year, and exports are running well behind last year, mostly because of a slow start to the crop year. The numbers support Agriculture Canada’s forecast that durum carryout will rise to 1.2 million tonnes, up from 982,000 last year.

As for canola, the Dec. 31 numbers for exports, domestic demand and stocks support the estimate of a 17.2 million tonne crop rather than a lower number. The crop size is not bearish considering the strong pace of exports and domestic demand. Agriculture Canada has forecast a carryout of 1.75 million tonnes, down from 2.32 million the previous year and three million in 201314. This forecast should be easily achievable, and the number might yet need trimming if exports and crush continue at their record pace. Statistics Canada’s survey of 8,600 Canadian farmers conducted from Jan. 4-14 provided the numbers for on-farm stocks, and the Canadian Grain Commission provides the data on commercial stocks. The report is certainly not the last word. There is another stocks report for March 31 and a final one for the end of the crop year July 31. This final report often makes adjustments to numbers in previous years. For example, the larger than expected carryout July 31, 2015, forced an upward revision in the size of the 2014-15 crop to 16.4 million tonnes from 15.6 million. So there is the possibility that we might yet be under-estimating the size of the canola crop, which might be even larger than 17.2 million tonnes. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

CRAIG’S VIEW

AGRICULTURE ON THE HILL

Lack of experience among ag committee worrisome

he inexperience evident on the new House of Commons agriculture committee should give pause to everyone in Canada’s agricultural sector. Fewer than half of the 10-member committee are farmers. Three of the four members with direct agricultural experience are serving on the opposition side. And half the committee is made up of first time MPs who are learning the intricacies of government. The four who can claim direct contact with the soil are: greenhouse operator and Liberal Pat Finnigan, who is chair; retired farmer and Conservative Bev Shipley, who is vice-chair; farmer and Conservative Chris Warkentin, who is his party’s agriculture critic; and farmer and Conservative Jacques Gourde, the deputy ag critic. Of the 10, only one is from the Prairies. Warkentin represents the Alberta riding of Grande Prairie-Mackenzie. Otherwise, the committee has three members from Ontario, three from Quebec, two from New Brunswick and one from British Columbia. With all respect to Warkentin, one person speaking for the interests of prairie agriculture is akin to forming a fisheries committee with one member from the coast. Only 12 Liberals were elected on the Prairies, along with 44 Conservatives and six New Democrats. One must concede that there were limited choices for Liberal appointees from Canada’s breadbasket, but it does not explain why half of the agriculture committee members have no government or committee experience. It sends a message that agriculture is not a priority for this government. No

strong agricultural or rural agenda has been offered by Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, so it would appear no great things are expected from this committee. It is a worry for the agricultural sector, which generates billions of dollars and thousands of jobs in this country. It is vibrant and it is important. Shipley and Ruth Ellen Brosseau, the NDP ag critic, will be tasked with providing continuity between this committee and the last, as the only two who have served on it before. They can anticipate that their counterparts face a steep learning curve as they become acquainted with files such as agricultural trade, grain transport and the next incarnation of business risk management programs. Such simple issues — not. It is often said that inexperience allows people to approach problems with fresh eyes, giving latitude for new approaches and solutions. Those will be welcomed but also carefully scrutinized. We hold to the belief that people who seek and win elected office have the best interests of their region and their country at heart. However, it is much more difficult to represent the interests of an industry when MPs know little about it. Generally speaking, the federal agriculture committee is less partisan than most. Members realize they represent a sector that has an ever-shrinking government focus. That, at least, is one asset that will allow members to co-operate for the betterment of the nation’s agriculture.

MENTAL HEALTH

Largely rural communities have looked after their own and largely there has been a lot of suffering in silence. That’s been the traditional way to manage these types of issues. It gets swept under the rug until there’s a tragedy, until farm stress leads to suicide or dissolving of a marriage or big ruptures in a family relationship.

TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP

Industry eager for TPP deal; NDP wants impact assessment CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

nternational trade minister Chrystia Freeland didn’t have much of a choice when it came to signing the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. Not signing the deal risked leaving Canada out in the cold of a multi-lateral, multibillion-dollar trade deal, whose future remains far from certain. Canada now has two years to decide whether to ratify the pending trade deal. Signing the trade deal, which does not guarantee ratification, kept Canada at the international TPP table, one that includes Canada’s largest trading partners and the world’s fastest emerging markets. So, Freeland headed to Auckland,

New Zealand, to sign the trade deal during a ceremony Feb. 4. Export-dependent agriculture was thrilled. News release after news release commended Freeland for signing the deal, which Canada’s beef, pork, grain and oilseed producers argue is integral for their global competitiveness. “Canadian meat industry vigorously supports signature of the Trans-Pacific Partnership,” read the heading of a news release from the Canadian Meat Council. Industr y officials have long argued that the importance of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement for export dependent agriculture cannot be underestimated. For example, some of Canada’s top customers for red meat and canola are located in TPP markets where competitors have already secured reduced tariff rates. “The TPP preserves access to the U.S. and secures unprecedented access to Japan and the fast growing markets of Vietnam and Malaysia,” Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance president Brian Innes said

the day the deal was signed. “Being able to export to these countries on a level playing field will strengthen the agri-food sector’s ability to compete, grow and create jobs right across the country.” Much of Canada’s agriculture industry is eager to ratify the TPP as quickly as possible, but the deal’s future is far from certain. For example, passage through the American political system is far from certain, while questions and concerns remain here at home. The Liberals campaigned on a promise of fully consulting with Canadians — complete with a debate in Parliament — over whether Canada should sign on to the deal. Meetings with stakeholders continue with updates posted regularly to a government website. According to the website, Freeland met with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance Feb. 3 while in Auckland. The government’s consultation will also include a full study at the

House of Commons international trade committee, which Freeland has personally requested. Meanwhile, the NDP aren’t satisfied. Trade critic Tracey Ramsey, a former auto worker, has repeatedly demanded the Liberals conduct an economic impact assessment of the deal, a request echoed by NDP leader Tom Muclair. “Will the Liberals commit to completing a thorough impact assessment and then making the study public?” Mulcair asked in question period Feb. 3. With Freeland in Auckland, agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay was called on to respond. He insisted signing the deal was nothing more than “a technical step.” “The only way the TPP can take effect is through ratification and a majority vote in this House,” MacAulay said, skirting the economic assessment question. However, securing an economic assessment isn’t the only NDP concern. Questions remain about the compensation package to supply

managed farmers promised under the Conservatives. The $4.3 billion package is designed to compensate for concessions made on dairy, poultry and eggs under the TPP, along with the increased dairy quota granted to the European Union under the Canada-Europe trade agreement. Freeland has refused to say whether compensation will be provided, telling reporters the funds are “under review.” However, MacAulay, for his part, appears committed to compensation for supply managed farmers. “We do understand the importance of compensation,” he said in question period Feb. 1. Asked in an interview Feb. 2 whether the Conservative compensation plan will be used as the benchmark for Liberal compensation, MacAulay couldn’t say. “I don’t know,” he said. The final package and its details rests with the federal cabinet, MacAulay added. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

While rising food costs resulted in this year’s Food Freedom Day occurring three days later than last year’s date, it’s important to note that we are quite fortunate in Canada compared to other parts of the world. Canadians enjoy some of the lowest food costs in the world, consistently ranking in the top five for cheapest food costs worldwide. Still, there is no denying that the rise in food costs has the potential to affect day-to-day budgets. The Food Price Report, which the University of Guelph’s Food Institute published following a comprehensive study of Canadian food costs, found that food prices increased by 4.1 percent last year. The prime reason was the low Canadian dollar, which has had a profound impact on imported food products, particularly fruit, vegetables and nuts, which are highly susceptible to market fluctuations. Looking ahead to this year, the Food Price Report said that food prices are expected to be most

With this forecast in mind, Food Freedom Day serves as an opportunity to consider the effect that each of us has on the Canadian food system, whether that be as a consumer, farmer, processor or retailer. “There are plenty of reasons why we encourage consumers to buy Canadian,” said CFA president Ron Bonnett. “Domestically produced food does not face the same exchange rate increase we have been seeing

with imported products. By understanding the Canadian products that are available each season, consumers can contribute to Canada’s food security while also keeping their family’s food bill down.” Choosing Canadian products at the grocery store is an incredibly important role that Canadian consumers can play in supporting farmers and our food system here at home. Consumers’ grocery store purchases provide market data for retailers, who then determine what products will fill their shelves. This

produces a ripple effect that is felt right down to the farm level. “There is also a notable difference with the Canadian brand when it comes to animal welfare standards and the quality and safety of our products, and it is one to be proud of,” Bonnett said. “We ask that consumers place their ‘grocery store vote’ for Canadian farmers and invest in a stable domestic food supply.” The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is the country’s largest national general farm organization.

DECISION MAKING

Sometimes farming means diving head first HURSH ON AG

ometimes you have to take a leap of faith to move your farm to the next level. There will always be caution flags signalling that this isn’t the right time for a major move: the economy is unstable, the long-term weather forecast is worrisome, the price of land is too high, you’re just not ready. These caution flags can come from friends, family and analysts. You can never be certain whether this is actually the right time for a major farm expansion, for quitting your job to farm full time, to move back to the farm, to make a seismic change in the direction of the farm. Small decisions are made all the time, but incremental change isn’t

always enough. To remain relevant and competitive, farm businesses need to advance. As they say, if you aren’t moving ahead, you’re falling behind. For young people wrestling with whether to take over the family operation, circumstances will eventually force a decision. The same is true for aging farmers. Eventually, they aren’t going to be farming anymore. Timing can make you look like a genius or a fool. Expanding a grain farm in the early 1980s was bad timing. Soft commodity prices, soaring interest rates and drought-reduced production caused land prices to steadily drop in much of the Prairies from the early 1980s to the early 1990s. Many went out of business, while many others wore the financial wounds for a long time. It’s been the cautionary tale that was used to discredit expansion aspirations for an entire generation. What if we hit another huge downturn like we did in the 1980s? Of course, expansion about 10 years ago was the best of timing:

record low interest rates, great farm profitability, rapidly rising land values. In hindsight, many of us wish we had borrowed more money and been more aggressive. Has the window of opportunity closed? Is land now too expensive to make major expansion viable? Land always seems expensive relative to its productive value. Only in the rearview mirror does it ever appear to be a bargain. In the beef business, expanding the herd just ahead of the BSE disaster of 2003 was the worst timing. Expanding three or four years ago would have been great timing. Raising elk was a lucrative business in the early 1990s when the market for antler velvet was booming. Unfortunately, the market has never really recovered from the disruption caused by chronic wasting disease. On the other hand, bison production has survived and thrived. As well, organic production of all types has proven to be much more than a passing fad. The supply managed sectors of

dairy and poultry, which have been under threat from international trade negotiations for the past 25 or 30 years, still include some of the country’s most profitable and stable farms. Production quota has been a great investment despite all the caution flags. Sometimes analysts get it right, but they can’t see the future either. Unbridled optimism is usually reserved for those who have a product or service to sell. Those who are selling advice tend to err on the side of caution. Small steps aren’t always possible. You can’t be a little bit married or a little bit pregnant. Farming can be a hobby, but to be successful it needs some scale and a profit motive. Do your homework, crunch the numbers and acknowledge the risks. But in the end, you need to follow your heart and your gut instincts. Reward rarely comes without risk.

y the time you read this, the 2016 Agricultural Equipment Technology Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, will be over. So will the Tactical Farming conference in Calgary. But the best is yet to come. Western Producer managing editor Michael Raine was in Louisville covering the latest developments in agricultural engineering. Mike lives for this kind of work. And work he will. A look over the agenda for that conference offers titles such as, “PC based data acquisition,” “lightweight casting design,” “advancements in forage and biomass technologies” and “electrification: the new frontier in agricultural machines.” Mike will bring this information, and much more, to readers over the next few weeks both in these pages and online at producer.com. At the same time, the first of the AE50 awards will be unveiled. AE50’s panel of engineers judge products and technology available in the marketplace in the previous year based on, among other things, innovation and their affect on the industry. Information is released over about three weeks, so keep an eye out for these developments. As well, look for coverage of the Tactical Farming conference in Calgary, held Feb. 10-11. The agenda focuses on technology and precision agriculture. Ron Lyseng is back in the saddle after some time off. He is well versed in machinery and agronomy. We will feature his coverage in our Production section and of course, online, over the next few weeks. Then comes the Commodity Classic in New Orleans. This is a huge conference for exhibitors and meetings with soybean, wheat and corn growers. Michael and reporter Sean Pratt will, as Mike put it, “get some great intel’ on what’s going on in the markets.” In mid-March we will publish a multi-week special report on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union, detailing opportunities for farmers. This report is a co-operative effort of Glacier Farm Media, which owns The Western Producer, the Manitoba Co-op erator and many other respected farm publications. Times are tough for farmers right now, so our reporters know how important it is to provide the critical information needed to get the best yields and margins. Look for that in days and weeks ahead.

In the federal election, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said “better is possible in Canada.” This provided hope to many, myself included. Unfortunately, it would appear that the Liberals are content having the agriculture sector weighted down with corporate greed and astro-turf farm groups pushing those corporate agendas. Almost three months into his job, some claim the minister of agriculture does not even have a full complement of staff and has not even met with many elected farm leaders yet. Is this a sign that “better is possible” for this sector?

The Conservatives’ appointee as chief grain commissioner for the Canadian Grain Commission left Jan. 20, and no replacement has been selected. Is this the priority the Liberals have for an institution that is so critical to prairie grain farmers? The Liberals promised an audit on what most prairie grain farmers see as a giveaway of the Canadian Wheat Board to the Saudi government and Bunge, but so far all the minister of agriculture has said is that he is too busy to meet with concerned farmers. Is better possible? The Liberals have now signed the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which supposedly promises so much but only delivers an agenda for corporations to dominate democratic governments. It even allows corpora-

tions to sue governments over issues that its own citizens cannot sue their own government for. I am not against trade, but does anyone at these negotiations ask the question — at what price? If governments and astro-turf farm groups are worried about level playing fields, why don’t all the countries negotiate identical farm support programs so all farmers could compete on a level playing field? It seems for agriculture “better is not possible” in Canada. In spite of much publicized falling oil and natural gas prices, farmers are still facing increased fertilizer costs made from natural gas. Grain prices are falling while the grain trade makes excessive profits. It even looks like the new normal will be

EXPROPRIATING LAND To the Editor: Regarding the reinforcing of the Assiniboine River dikes in a 2011 project in the Lower Assiniboine Valley east of Portage la Prairie, Man. My brother and I operate our father’s farm (the late John Kuzyk) in the Parish of Poplar Point, River lots 12-17 in the RM of Portage la Prairie. We have been issued a notice of expropriation and we take exception to government’s ill-considered proposal. We demand that the government leave our father’s property as they found it. We will accept nothing less. If it insists on proceeding against our wishes then it will be literally making itself at home in our home. To quote another victim, “it’s incredible how the government destroys your property then tells you how they will fix it.” To quote government, the dikes are intended to protect farmland, farms and residences as well as the communities of Elie, La Salle, Sanford and Starbuck (and it conveniently omitted Winnipeg), but these are not the communities that have had their properties destroyed. We have been sacrificed for others; might be a good time for others to speak on our behalf. On March 12, 2014, I wrote government requesting names of everyone who is or was in charge of the Reinforcing of the Assiniboine River Dikes project in 2011 east of Portage la Prairie. I waited three months; no reply. Shortly after, we received a call from someone in government telling us that it is going to proceed with expropriation. Talk about a blatant disregard for the victims who pay their salaries and pensions. We received a notice of expropriation with a short time line in the middle of our busiest season. How low can you get? Other property owners also want their properties left as government found them but they aren’t receiving notices of expropriation. Steve Ashton, minister of infrastructure and transportation, issued me a notice of expropriation. The minister ignored me behind closed doors. He best not ignore me in public.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Celebrity still rules in the quest for truth about food PRODUCER ONLINE

PAUL YANKO

wrote a few weeks ago in this column about not confusing popularity with expertise in social media. Last week, Manitoba reporter Robert Arnason offered a shining example of this unfortunate phenomenon.

It all began in January when Jillian Harris, former star on the popular TV show The Bachelorette and native of Peace River, Alta., wrote a blog post about becoming “vegan-ish.” Some of the comments Harris made in her blog illustrated her lack of understanding of modern agricultural practices. For example, Harris notes how, “I always imagined a dairy cow to be the most romantic thing ever, now I realize it’s actually torture.” And how she said she made the switch to “vegan-ish” because “it ’s insanely better for your health and the environment.” Her motivation for such a move

seems to have come from a combination of watching three “documentaries” online, her desire to “be just like” an online food reporter and self-proclaimed plant and animal lover, and her bond with her dog, Nacho. “Looking at those innocent eyes every day reminded me that he’s not much different than the piggies and the cows I was eating every day,” she wrote. 160,000 followers Now, Har r is has more than 160,000 followers on Twitter, while, as Arnason pointed out in

his story, a vastly more reputable source for information about the cattle industry — the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, founded in 1932 — has slightly fewer than 4,000 followers. Western Producer readers were quick to offer their thoughts on the matter via social media “In spite of the best efforts from industry and the scientific community to provide Canadians with the safest food in the world, so many would rather put their trust in a celebrity’s rant,” wrote Elouise Johnson. “If you think you’re done with the popular kids when you finish high school, you are sadly mis-

taken,” wrote another Western Producer reader going by the name MiniBulk Inc. Having said that, this stor y appears to have a happy ending. In the flurry of tweets that followed its publication, Harris herself seemed receptive to an offer made via Twitter. “I’m always interested in proactive discussions, so if you’re genuinely interested, you’re welcome to contact me,” tweeted @JustAg_ Prod. Only time, and social media, will tell how receptive Harris really is. paul.yanko@producer.com

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE ernment was somewhat civilized. In 2011, I told an audience that rivers are dredged to increase flow and capacity. The flood of 2011 left six inches of silt — more that enough for the project. Even Steve Topping, provincial flood analyst agrees. Said Topping in The Winnipeg Sun July 8, 2014, “What we are finding in the Assiniboine River efficiency is not as good as it was in 2011 due to vegetative foliage in the river.” No kidding. The government took the highest and best soil of my father’s farm and made it a ditch. It moved the Assiniboine River from the wet side of the dike to the dry side. The original dike was build with dirt from inside the dike and today it insists on destroying 50 miles of prime farmland to lift the dike two feet. Even stupidity has its limits. Twice, the government moved that same dirt back and forth. Move it back once more and leave it. In government it’s called reclaiming land. In the spring of 2014, dirt was hauled for five weeks for 10 miles to shore up a portion of dike. Haul more dirt for the project and quit messing up our operation. We are a small organic farm. Until this project, we controlled weeds by cultivation; government controlled the weeds on the dike. We will not devote the rest of our lives trying to control weeds in 75 feet of swamp and bulrushes, Neither will the government. The payment offered will be considered income and victims will pay tax and possibly capital gains on property that is not for sale. To date, government has had three seasons, the latter of which were dry inside the dike, to complete this project to our satisfaction. The proposal serves us absolutely no purpose; and don’t think that money buys happiness. Even those who agreed to a settlement are not happy. They were just fed up. To date, government owes us for four years for inconvenience, loss of productivity, and any problems that might arise in the future. Will the minister will explain to me and the public why the government finds it so difficult to leave the property in question as government found it when after an emergency?

MANITOBA BEEF PRODUCERS

Shipping unhealthy animals could turn public against beef CFIA veterinarian says animals in pain and struggling to walk don’t make beef, they make vegetarians NATIONAL CHECKOFF GETS THUMBS UP

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It’s a common dilemma for cattle producers. If there is an older or lame animal on the farm, should that animal go to market or should it be euthanized? A Manitoba cattle buyer says there’s a simple answer to that question. If in doubt, don’t put it on the truck. “Compromised animals, we still see too many of those showing up, especially at the auction marts,” said Rick Wright, a cattle broker and order buyer with Heartland Order Buying Co. “Producers need to know that those cattle are not welcome anymore (at the auction mart)…. The rule of thumb is … if you don’t want to take it home, don’t load it.” Wright, who spoke in early February at the Manitoba Beef Producers annual meeting in Brandon, said it’s tempting to make an extra buck by shipping a lame animal, but cellphone cameras and increased interest in animal welfare mean the risk now outweighs the financial benefit. “At one time, buyers would take a chance on those cattle … but now it’s not worth it. It’s not worth it to be in the sights of CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency)…. Consumers are wanting to know more

After a 15-minute debate, members of the Manitoba Beef Producers voted to increase the national checkoff from $1 per head to $2.50 per head. The levy will support the National Beef Strategy, a joint initiative of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, provincial associations, the National Cattle Feeders and other industry groups. Alberta and Saskatchewan producers approved the increase in December and January.

It’s tucked in to protect it because it’s painful to step on it,” he said. “Its ears are back and its back is hunched…. Does this (animal) make beef or does it make vegetarians? I think it makes vegetarians.” Wright is also concerned about cattle transport. He said he still sees too many trailers that are overcrowded, poorly cleaned or with insufficient bedding.

“I can’t believe the number of loads that come in where the cows and calves are in the same compartment. The calves are covered in (feces) … and we are expected to clean them up and resell them.” Wright told the story of a Saskatchewan producer who hauled three semi loads of cows to his farm and then immediately transported calves to Ste.

TRADE DEAL

Canada joins in signing Trans-Pacific Partnership deal The food sector and livestock groups say millions in trade would be lost if Canada doesn’t have access to markets BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Trade ministers from the 12 countries involved in Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations signed the agreement last week, but the deal is still far from a sure thing. Countries must each ratify the terms before the agreement comes into force. The ratification period is two years and requires six countries representing 85 percent of the collective gross domestic product, which is essentially the United States, Japan and at least four of the other countries. Canadian trade minister Chrystia Freeland, who was in Auckland,

New Zealand, for the signing, said the Liberal government is in a unique position because it took office after the Conservative government negotiated the deal. However, the Liberals said during last fall’s election campaign that they are in favour of trade and promised extensive consultation and parliamentary debate before cabinet approval. The Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance urged swift ratification by all countries. It represents exporters who stand to gain markets through the deal. In particular, greater access to Japan and Vietnam would benefit agricultural exporters because tariffs on prod-

THE DEAL COULD SEE CANOLA EXPORTS HIT

$780 million ucts such as canola, wheat, beef and pork would be removed. CAFTA and other pro-TPP organizations have said billions of dollars could be lost if Canada is not part of the Pacific Rim pact. “Canadian agriculture has lived through this before with Korea, when a billion dollar market was cut in half virtually overnight as the U.S. had access we didn’t,” said CAFTA president Brian Innes.

“We can’t afford to see this happen again with TPP countries.” The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association said participation in the TPP would mean the Japanese tariff on Canadian beef would drop from 38.5 percent to nine percent over 15 years. The immediate cut would be to 27.5 percent, which would restore Canada’s competitive position with Australia. The Canola Council of Canada said the deal could increase the value of canola exports by up to $780 million a year through tariff elimination. Australia already has preferential access for canola oil to Japan through a free trade agreement.

The tariff on Canadian canola oil is 15 percent. Canola seed exports, for crushing in Japan, were worth $1.2 billion in 2014. “We have been a stable supplier of canola seed to Japan for over 40 years, but we are acutely aware that other canola suppliers now have better access to Japan than Canada does,” said canola council president Patti Miller. Supply managed sectors, which could lose domestic market share under the TPP, are waiting to see if the Liberals will honour a compensation package that the Conservatives proposed. karen.briere@producer.com

GRAIN HANDLING

Transportation findings head to Parliament BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The much anticipated review of the Canada Transportation Act will be tabled in Parliament by Feb. 25. A spokesperson for Transport Canada said last week that transportation minister Marc Garneau will table the findings of the review w ithin 30 days of the Jan. 25 resumption of Parliament. Garneau received the report Dec. 21, and his mandate letter f r o m p r i m e m i n i s t e r Ju s t i n Trudeau specifically mentions it as a top priority. “Lead, with the support of the minister of agriculture and agrifood and in the context of responding to the review of the Canada Transportation Act, a full review of the Canadian grain transportation system,” the letter said. Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president Ray Orb said there is a rumour that another review is underway. “We’ve heard the government is doing a study of their own, kind of like a mini study,” he said. “Maybe they’re just checking before they release it.” Other sources could not confirm another review, and the spokesperson said only that “grain transportation will be addressed as part of the government’s follow-up to the CTA review report.” For mer MP David Emerson headed the statutory review panel established in June 2014 after the grain backlog of the previous winter. The panel, which included AGT Food and Ingredients president Murad Al-Katib, examined all aspects of the transportation system, not just grain. The last statutory review was completed in 2001. karen.briere@producer.com

WHEAT, BARLEY LEVY

Growers to decide on where WCD check-off money will go The levy paid by wheat and barley growers could be continued, terminated or combined with other research programs BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Beginning next year, Western Canadian wheat and barley growers will see another change to the way producer levies are deducted from their grain cheques. The Western Canadian Deduction (WCD) is due to expire on July 31, 2017. Prairie grain farmers have been paying WCD levies for nearly four years. The deduction was implemented by Ottawa on Aug. 1, 2012, as an interim measure to provide uninterrupted funding for the Western Grains Research Foundation, the Canadian International

Grains Institute and the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre. Before 2012, those three organizations had been receiving core funding via the Canadian Wheat Board, which deducted levies from producers’ grain cheques. But when the federal government ended the CWB’s single desk marketing powers in 2012, a new funding arrangement was needed. The WCD filled the funding void, but only temporarily. The interim deduction is due to expire at the beginning of the 201617 crop year, meaning producers and producer groups must now decide whether the levies will be continued, terminated or com-

bined with other producer levies that are collected through provincial cereal grain commissions. The WCD checkoff is set at 48 cents on every tonne of wheat sold in Western Canada and 56 cents per tonne on barley, except for barley that’s grown in Alberta. Alberta’s barley rate is lower because that province’s barley growers were already making contributions outside the WCD. Bill Gehl, chair of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, said informal discussions that have taken place so far seem to indicate that the WCD deduction will be combined with grower levies that are already being collected

by provincial commissions. Although no formal decisions have been made in Saskatchewan, there seems to be consensus that rolling the SaskWheat levy and the WCD into one checkoff is a reasonable way to ensure stable funding for the WGRF, CIGI and the CMBTC. There is widespread agreement among SaskWheat directors that funding support for the WGRF and the other groups should be continued, he added. Regardless of what happens, it will be imperative that farmers are consulted, he said. “What will be very important in any process going forward is that we make sure that growers know

what’s being discussed … and that we have the go-ahead from farmers, because in the end … it’s their money.” Brent VanKoughnet, executive director of the Manitoba Wheat & Barley Growers Association, offered a similar assessment. He said Manitoba cereal growers who attend the MWGBA’s annual general meeting at the Crop-Connect Conference in Winnipeg Feb. 11 will be asked to support a resolution that calls for the WCD and the provincial wheat and barley levies to be combined and collected as a single MWGBA checkoff. brian.cross@producer.com FOOD SAFETY

It all comes down to trust, says the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute. A forum last fall to discuss the future of the country’s agriculture and food sector boiled the talk down to the idea that trust is the defining issue facing those in food production and supply. A report issued last week suggests that Canada’s future competitiveness could depend on how trust is cultivated. David McInnes, chief executive officer of CAPI, said that means greater transparency and using metrics to demonstrate performance. “Trust is indeed this cornerstone of our future success,” he said in an interview. “Trust, though, is well beyond food safety.” It’s about reliability of supply, how the industry adapts to climate change pressure, sustainability, food quality and health outcomes. “If there’s any country on the planet that could define its future around enhancing trust or enhancing our ecosystem health and the health of citizens it’s Canada.” The report said the status of the most trusted food supply is one that consumers should award, not the stakeholders themselves. The industry, then, must demonstrate the care it takes in all aspects of food production, manage and enhance natural capital to be more productive, and add more value through better collaboration, the forum concluded. The report also said that presenting the sector’s benefits as a creator of wealth and contributor to societal well-being could leverage more supportive public policies. “This is way more than communicating the economic importance of the sector. It’s this dual value proposition by what we can do to enhance ecosystems and health that I think is a powerful story.” He said the report discusses how the industry can work toward positioning Canada as the trusted food supplier.

FUNDING AT RISK

Sask. livestock research centre fraught with complications BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SASKATOON — The push is on to build the new Saskatchewan Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence before construction funding expires. However, there is still uncertainty about where one of the facilities will go and what will happen to the existing research operation at the Termuende farm near Lanigan. The $25 million centre was announced last summer after a year of consultation and planning by a steering committee. The committee recommended integrating the four facilities at Termuende (Western Beef Development Centre), University of Saskatchewan campus, Goodale Farm south of Saskatoon near Floral and new land purchased by the university near Clavet for the Beef Cattle Research and Training Unit (BCRTU). “To achieve this vision, it is recommended that the WBDC facilities and research program at Termuende Farm be relocated to the Goodale Farm and integrated with U of S programs in veterinary and agricultural sciences, and that the Goodale facilities be enhanced to accommodate these programs,” said the committee’s report. “The BCRTU facilities at Clavet are critical and a high priority and must be developed as soon as possible.” The Clavet land was bought to relocate the intensive livestock feedlot from atop the Saskatoon riverbank. To fund the new facilities, the University of Saskatchewan pledged $10 million, as did the federal and provincial governments through Growing Forward 2. The Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association will contribute $1 million and an application for the remaining $4 million was made to the Canadian Agriculture Adaptation Program. However, Growing Forward 2 expires March 31, 2018, leaving just two years to design, tender and build the facilities southeast of Saskatoon. The CAAP application is now in the process after being held up by the federal election. “I think we would have liked to have made more progress on this initiative, but apparently we did not,” said Abdul Jalil, executive director of the research branch at Saskatchewan Agriculture and a member of the steering committee. “The bottom line is we don’t have much choice but to complete this initiative by March 31, 2018. It has been made clear not only to the university, which is leading the construction of those sites, but also the steering committee that we need to make it happen.” However, there is some concern that the Goodale Farm, which was purchased in 1972, is not the best location for the Cow-Calf and Forage Research and Teaching Unit, (CCFRTU) and that the land donated by the Termuende family in 1974 should not be sold. Agriculture dean Mary Behr said the university is grateful for the gift, but at this point she can’t say what will happen. “As we assess all of the work that is

going to be carried out at the livestock and forage centre of excellence, we already know we don’t have enough land,” she told the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference. “There is, at this point, no intention to do anything other than to hang onto the Termuende land and see what the best use is that we can possibly make of it. We’re still working out … how we’re going to manage to conduct all of the activities that actually need more land than the university already has access to.” More land is needed for grazing trials. She said the university’s board of governors has approved the sale of Termuende if necessary, but selling an asset of that value would also

require an order-in-council from the provincial government. “Quite frankly, right now I do not see that kind of a sale as a likelihood,” she said. The Termuende farm has closed before, in the early 1990s because of budget cuts, before it re-opened in 1998. Bob Tyler, associate dean of research in agriculture and bioresources, told the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association semiannual meeting that the Clavet site has never had intensive livestock on it and required an environmental assessment at a cost of $1.5 million. The Goodale site requires replacement of aging veterinary medicine facilities plus facilities for WBDC activities.

“We have challenges at the moment,” Tyler said. “We know where the Clavet feedlot facility is going to go. We still have to figure out exactly where the cow-calf and forage research and teaching unit is going to go. The passion in veterinary medicine is certainly to replace what already is at Goodale-Floral. There are logical arguments that that’s not the best place for it.” Saskatoon is expanding toward the Goodale Farm — a new Costco store would be nearby — and the land has also seen flooding after several wet years. “I’d be very concerned if the cowcalf portion of it was focused at Goodale,” Duane Thompson of Kelliher, Sask., told the meeting.

“It would seem very shortsighted to spend a lot of money in a place that’s being approached by the city development.” He also said the proceeds of any sale of Termuende should go toward the cattle industry as the family intended. Tyler said that decision is out of his hands. The or iginal budget for the BCRTU at Clavet was $16.5 million, but preliminary estimates were $2 million more than that and had to be whittled down. Tenders should go out this spring, Tyler said. The CCFRTU budget was $8.5 million and estimates came in $6 million higher. karen.briere@producer.com

The money will go through the Alberta Municipal S o l a r P ro g ra m, w h i c h o f f e r s rebates of up to 75 cents per watt, to a maximum of $300,000 per project, to municipalities for installing solar on municipal buildings, offices, fire halls, community centres and more. In a news release, John Bocock, a Sturgeon County dairy farmer said: “Since 2010, our farm has been producing electricity as well as food. We installed 24 solar panels on our barn room. Both we and our installer were pleasantly surprised at how hassle-free it was to get our re gular meter replaced with a two-way meter so that we get credit when we produce more power than we are using. Solar energy mitigates climate change and diversifies Alberta’s economy.” The on-farm program is a Growing Forward 2 cost shared program. Farmers can access funding for construction projects that install high-efficiency equipment, retrofit projects that improve the operation’s energy use and installation of submeters to monitor on-farm electricity and gas use. For most of the items, the program covers 35 percent of the eligible costs to a maximum $50,00. The program covers 100 percent of the cost of the applicant’s first three submeters. mary.macarthur@producer.com DAIRY

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

South to north: black settlers come to Alberta Facing prejudice in the United States, some blacks saw Canada as the promised land BY MARIA JOHNSON FREELANCE WRITER

BRETON, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; They are not stories commonly heard on the Prairies. While tales of immigrant settlers are well known, the history of black settlers building their lives in the Canadian West are not common knowledge. For example, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story of Vant Hayes, 79, the sole remaining descendant in the Breton, Alta., area of 52 black families that made up the first major group of black pioneers to settle in the region. Vant Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father, Floyd Hayes, and his mother, Elizabeth Murphy, immigrated to Canada as children with their parents: Elizabeth in 1910, from Oklahoma and Floyd in 1911 from Mississippi. The Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homesteaded at Amber Valley, the Hayes at Breton. Floyd and Elizabeth married in 1922. They worked hard farming their section of land near Breton, in the Alsike area, until drought forced them, with a family of 10 children, to travel west in 1938 to Rutland, B.C. Floyd laboured in a packing plant and logged, while Elizabeth worked in vegetable gardens and orchards. Floyd died in 1941, shortly before the family was due to return to their homestead. Elizabeth faced a future of farming and raising her children alone. Vant was seven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lived off the land,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom shot a gun. She drove horses. She taught us how to plow.â&#x20AC;? Stories like these are preserved through photographs, books and artifacts at the Breton & District

Historical Museum in west-central Alberta. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated that 1,000 to 1,500 black Americans immigrated to Western Canada from 1905-12. They travelled by rail from Oklahoma and neighbouring states. In addition to Breton, which was called Keystone until 1927, other Alberta areas settled primarily by blacks at that time were Amber Valley, Campsie and Junkins, which was renamed Wildwood in 1929. Settlers were offered 160 acres for a $10 registration fee and eventually received title after building a home and clearing land for crops. Full of hope For a people who had suffered the injustices of slavery followed by prejudice and segregation after emancipation in the U.S., Canada held the dream of a promised land, a refuge from hatred, fear and violence. There was less prejudice in Canada with no legalized segregation. However, racism did exist north of the 49th parallel and diplomatic tactics effectively stopped the immigration of black settlers by 1912. Black settlers formed communities in remote areas to avoid the discrimination and hostility in urban centres. As well, the greater availability of adjoining parcels of land allowed friends and family groups to settle together. However, the challenges of the physical environment created many issues the settlers hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faced in the U.S. Heavily timbered lands needed clearing. Trails through dense bush and around muskeg and

swamp were essential. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shorter growing season on less productive soil affected crop yields. The long, harsh Canadian winters must have come as a shock compared to Oklahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subtropical to semi-arid climate. As well, medical, dental and sup-

ply centres were days away. Some of the settlers returned to the U.S. or moved elsewhere, but many persevered and some thrived, such as the Hayes family of Breton. For Hayes, the winters were memorable.

Hayes laughed when recalling her hot mustard plaster cold remedy. “It would take your skin off, it was so hot, but any cold you had would be gone.” Other memories were sombre. “She’d tell us how bad it was in the States. She’d say, ‘you’d have to watch yourself.’ And she was always scared of fire. Three or four of mom’s siblings burned in a fire”. Hayes said his mother loved the land and remained in Breton until her death in 1973. In 1959, he married Ethel Wilson who was from the West Coast. Other than a few years living in Ladysmith, B.C., they have remained near where Hayes was raised. They built their home from logs on property they bought in 1963. The west-facing house sits on a hill with what Hayes refers to as a million dollar view. On a clear day, they catch sight of the Rocky Moun-

tains on the horizon. The Hayeses enjoy their farm animals — cows, goats, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, a few horses and a stocked trout pond — and treasure time spent with their two daughters and grandchildren. One daughter lives in Alberta and the other in B.C. The racism that brought Hayes’s ancestors to Alberta has diminished but hasn’t disappeared. He cites instances over the years, including difficulties when they bought their land. They later found out that the stalling was because of his “colour.” Hayes worked off the farm for years in the oil field. Retired now, he’s back to the place he loves best. He knows it can sometimes be tough on the land, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I don’t like cities. There are too many people. Out here it’s been a good life. You can be your own boss.”

Sometimes I think that life has been more than unfair to me. I was the oldest in a family of five children. I was the one who hid my brothers and sisters when my father came home from the bar, drunk and violent and always threatening us. Some weekends, both of my parents would party, and that meant that I looked after everyone else. I did not know much about cooking but somehow I managed to put food on the table for the rest of the kids. Despite the odds stacked against us, we survived. In fact the others are doing very well. I was the one who got them to school on time, who helped with homework in the evening and who made sure that they understood the meaning of responsibility. I do not ask for much in return for all that I did, but a little appreciation would be nice. Instead of praise and appreciation for all those years I dedicated to my family, I get accused of being a controller and I am often picked on when someone needs a scapegoat. Can I do anything to get from my brothers and sisters to give me the respect that I think I deserve?

You deserve a lot more than respect. You should be nominated for the Governor General’s Award for citizenship. You sacrificed your own childhood to ensure your siblings had opportunities that you were being denied. You are to be commended. Unfortunately, that whole scenario has left you wanting. Let’s face it. Kids growing up want to be loved and nurtured by caring parents. You probably got none of that. And wouldn’t it be nice if you could get some of that now. The problem is that you can’t. What you missed when you were a child is still missing and likely will be for much of your life. Your best bet is to quit looking for that in other people and start building up your own sense of self-appreciation. Instead of waiting for thanks from your siblings, you should look at their successes and understand that you are in many ways responsible for what they have achieved. Who knows what successes might be there waiting for you to enjoy if you invested as much in yourself as you did in the lives of others. Most programs for addictions services have groups for adult children. They are for those who, like you, lost their childhoods while trying to take on responsibilities of their parents in caring for the family. Perhaps one of these groups will help you develop a sense of satisfaction and self-worth for what you accomplished. Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan.

ON THE FARM

Dairy couple enthusiastic about educating Green Hectares Jersey farm owners get award for volunteer work and industry involvement BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

INNISFAIL, Alta. — Stan and Marg Coleman are fiddling with their iPhone as they sit at the kitchen table. They are trying to figure out how to work the Google maps app. Stan, a former truck driver, doesn’t need Google maps to find his way around Alberta, but they’re still interested in how it works. Later in the day, they plan to set up their new computer. It’s that enthusiasm for embracing new technology in retirement that took them to the top of their industry. Dozens of banners, ribbons and awards from years of showing Jersey cattle hang on the walls of their farmhouse. In the basement are more ribbons, photos of their best cows and a five-metre long laminated plastic banner encasing dozens of photos and articles of the couple and their award-winning cattle. In D e c e m b e r, A l b e r t a Mi l k awarded the Colemans’ the Dairy Industry Achievement Award for work in the industr y and for spending hundreds of volunteer hours at agricultural fairs and exhibitions talking about cattle and milk to city residents and schoolchildren. For years, the couple and their cattle were a fixture at Aggie Days and the Calgary Stampede’s agricultural education events in Calgary. Four times a day, they milked cows and patiently answered questions. “If they don’t see where milk comes from, they have no idea. They figure it comes from a store,” Marg said. “Bus loads of kids would come to Aggie Days.” The family also collected a menagerie of goats, sheep, donkeys and other animals for school tours on their Green Hectares Jersey farm. “We had everything you could imagine. They would come and spend the whole day,” she said. One lucky group even watched as a calf was born. The couple moved to the farm in 1965 with their only possessions: two chairs, their clothes and four Jersey heifers that Marg’s parents gave the newly married couple. They moved into an 80-year-old log house and milked cows in an equally old log barn. “It leaked more inside than outside when it rained,” said Stan. Marg’s sister was also given four Jersey heifers as a present, but she traded them to the Colemans for four beef cows. They milked the cows, shipped cream and fed the milk to the pigs. In 1973, they sold the pigs and began shipping milk rich in butter fat. The family milked 70 cows twice a day at their peak but sold most of the herd in 2003, just before BSE. They still have four Jersey cows that are milked for colostrum and 100 head of Angus and Shorthorn cattle.

Stan and Marg Coleman are keen to teach children about agriculture and milk production. They say they aren’t ready to retire and head south to warmer climes because “you can’t ice fish in Arizona.” | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO The Coleman’s stuck with Jersey cattle, even when other dairy producers switched to Holsteins. “I call them ladies’ cows,” said Marg. “When Stan is gone, they were easy to handle.” They also added Guernsey, Ayershire and Holstein cattle to the herd over the years. It was Jersey cattle that kept their interest. The cattle have been sold to farmers in Brazil, Japan, Mexico and most provinces in Canada. The couple got hooked on showing cattle in 1976 when they won grand champion bull in Edmonton and Calgary. Another year, a heifer placed in the top 10 at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin, a respect-

BENEFITS TO YOUR FARM

Their son, Greg, had a computerlike mind that could remember cattle pedigrees, said Stan. “He could go back generations,” said Marg. Marg was more pragmatic in what was the best cow. “I only judge the milk in the pail. That is what paid the bills.” Stan was born six kilometres west of their farm, but moved to Red Deer when he was eight. He joined his brothers trucking after graduation, and it was while hauling a load that he spied land for sale. He paid $7,200 for the quarter section with the log house and barn and only 30 acres cleared. A year later the couple were milking 21 cows, which gave birth to 18 heifers.

“That really gave us a boost,” said Marg. The rough, bush-covered land took months to clear. “We picked roots until we looked like a root,” said Stan. The farm eventually expanded to slightly more than three quarters. “We have done well,” he said. “The cows looked after us.” Other seniors retire to Arizona, but Marg said they have no intention of leaving the farm or spending their winters in warm vacation spots. “I don’t think we’re ready for moving any place. I don’t think we need to go to town yet.” Added Stan: “You can’t ice fish in Arizona.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

VALENTINE’S DAY

SAY IT WITH ROSES

Hearts talk the language of flowers BY MARIA JOHNSON FREELANCE WRITER

white: purity, innocence

yellow: friendship, warmth

orange: fascination

He loves me He loves me not He loves me. Anonymous When plucking flower petals one by one, the last petal remaining represents whether the object of one’s desire reciprocates the sentiment. This whimsical game of love is simple flower symbolism. For centuries flowers have represented heartfelt emotions. Those emotions become public on Valentine’s Day, when celebrations of love and affection abound. “It’s one of our busiest days of the year,” said Carol Dunne, owner and floral designer at Ponoka’s Flowers For You in central Alberta. Dunne, who’s had the business for 16 of her 30 years in the industry, said only Mother’s Day equals the rush on Valentine’s Day, when staff

more than doubles, up to 13. “I’m often here at 5 a.m. on Valentine’s Day.” Dunne said sales top 100 orders. For a town of 7,000 with local competitors and flower shops in nearby cities she’s pleased with that. One of Dunne’s floral designers, Michelle Trudeau, who has over 20 years in the industry, agrees with Dunne that the top selling flower, making up 75 percent of sales on Valentine’s Day, is the red rose. Along with poems and stories of love found and love lost, entire books have been dedicated to floriography, the language of flowers. Floriography became popular during the Victorian Era in England (through the reign of Queen Victo-

ria, 1837-1901), when etiquette, particularly among the upper class, deemed open communication around certain topics and social situations to be inappropriate. Communication through the use or arrangement of flowers became popular to express what one was unable to verbalize. Meanings and messages were based on myths, traditions, medical uses, and at times simply one’s imagination. An example is the tussie-mussie, a small, tightly composed handheld bouquet, which was given as a gift or to mark a special occasion. The relayed message was in how the tussie-mussie was held. At heart level, it spoke acceptance. If held pointed down, it screamed

rejection. Today’s bridal bouquets, although larger, are modern examples of the tussie-mussie. While many of the meanings associated with specific flowers have been forgotten most people still associate a single red rose with true love, romance and passion. Also, the appropriately named forget-me-not is regarded as a flower sent when someone is missed. Dunne said that today’s buyers are generally in search of what is simply pleasing to them or a known favourite of the receiver. ‘It doesn’t really matter what flower they select”, she said, “The message is clear when it comes from the heart.”

utrient dense pomegranates, long used in Mediterranean cuisines, are now popular here as well. The season is from October to February, and this exotic winter fruit adds colour and flavour to both savoury and sweet dishes. They are high in antioxidants, which have been shown to reduce the effects of aging, inflammation of arthritis and thickening of the artery walls. Pomegranate juice has also shown to reduce cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Pomegranates are often included in a hearth healthy diet. People taking prescription medications who want to add pomegranates to their diet should check with their physician or pharmacist. The high vitamin K content may counteract the work of blood thinners. It may also affect how quickly the liver breaks down certain medications for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. Each fruit is filled with arils, which are the edible portion. Inside each aril is a seed that is also edible and provides important fibre. It’s best to eat the fruit fresh because commercial pomegranate juice has been pasteurized, which destroys vitamin C.

CHOCOLATE POMEGRANATE TORTE If you are going to make one spectacular dessert this year, make it this one. It is elegant in its simplicity and chock full of healthy dark chocolate and pomegranates. It also freezes well. Cut the fruit in half and using a lemon reamer, extract all the juice. For the best flavour and texture, make the cake and spread it with the jelly a day or two before serving. Glaze it on the day you serve it. For the cake: 4 tbsp. softened, unsalted 60 mL butter, cut into four pieces, plus more for the pan 6 oz. bittersweet 170 g chocolate (70% or 72% cacao) 3 large eggs, separated 1/2 c. + 1/4 c. 125 + 60 mL granulated sugar 1/4 tsp. table salt 1 mL 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar .5 mL 1/2 c. unbleached 125 mL all-purpose flour For the pomegranate jelly: 1 apple 1 1/2 c. pure unsweetened 375 mL pomegranate juice 1/4 c. + 2 tbsp. 60 + 30 mL granulated sugar 12 fresh or frozen cranberries For the glaze: 6 oz. bittersweet 170 g chocolate (70% or 72% cacao), chopped medium fine

I am a 70-year-old man who recently had a heart attack. I have made a good recovery, thanks to two stents that were placed in the blood vessels of the heart, which keep them open and increase the blood flow. I was told there was no damage to the heart. How do I know if there is any damage to other parts of the heart? Do the doctors and technicians check out the rest of the heart?

One pomegranate delivers about • 100 calories • 40 percent of the daily vitamin C requirements • significant amounts of vitamins E, K, B6, foliate, potassium, tannins and pantothenic acid.

6 tbsp. unsalted butter, 185 mL cut into 6 pieces 1 tbsp. honey or 15 mL light corn syrup pinch table salt fresh pomegranate seeds, for garnish (optional) For the cake: Position a rack in the centre of the oven and heat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Lightly grease the sides of a nine by two inch (22x5 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment. Finely grate two ounces (55 g) of the chocolate and set aside. Coarsely chop the remaining chocolate and combine with the butter and three tablespoons (45 mL) water in a heat-proof bowl. Set the bowl over a slightly smaller pot or use a double boiler. Heat over barely simmering water and stir frequently until the mixture is melted and smooth. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 1/2 cup (125 mL) of sugar and salt until thick and lightened in colour. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar at medium-high speed to soft peaks in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, about two minutes. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup (60 mL) sugar with the motor running,, beating to stiff peaks, one to two minutes more. Whisk the warm chocolate and the flour into the yolk mixture. Fold one-quarter of the whites into the chocolate batter with a rubber spatula. Scrape the remaining whites into the chocolate mixture

and sprinkle the grated chocolate on top. Fold together. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out smudged with a few moist crumbs, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge of the cake and invert it onto another rack. Remove pan and parchment and invert the cake onto the first rack. It’s normal for the cake to have a crusty exterior that may crack with handling. Let cool completely. To make the pomegranate jelly: Grate enough of the apple, including the peel, to yield 3/4 cup. In a medium saucepan, bring the grated apple, pomegranate juice, sugar and cranberries to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, covered, until the apple is softened and the mixture has thickened a little, about 10 minutes. Uncover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally at first and then constantly toward the end, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is reduced reaches 220 F (105 C), about five minutes. Use a rubber spatula to press the pulp through a medium-mesh strainer into a bowl until you can’t get any more juice out of the pulp. Scrape all of the juice clinging to the bottom of the strainer into the bowl and discard the pulp in the strainer. Let cool to almost room temperature. Brush away loose crumbs and easily detachable crusty pieces from the sides and top of the cake.

Transfer the cake to a cardboard circle or tart pan bottom. Stir the jelly to blend it, scrape it onto the cake and spread it evenly over the top. Let the jelly cool until it’s set, about one hour. At this point, the cake may be covered with an inverted cake pan and then wrapped in plastic. The pan keeps the plastic from touching the cake. Store at room temperature for up to two days. To make the glaze: Put the chocolate, butter, honey and salt in a heat-proof bowl set in a skillet of barely simmering water. Stir gently until the chocolate melts and the mixture is perfectly smooth. Remove from heat and stir in two tablespoons (30 mL) cool water. Let cool to room temperature without stirring. If not using right away, cover and store at room temperature. Set the cake on a rack set over a baking sheet. With an offset spatula, spread 1/3 cup (75 mL) of the glaze around the sides of the cake and on top of the gel to smooth the surfaces and glue on any crumbs. Be careful not to disturb the gel. Re-warm the remaining glaze gently to 90 F (32 C) in a skillet of barely simmering water. The glaze should have the consistency of thick, pourable cream. Scrape all the glaze onto the top of the cake. Spread over the top and around the sides. For the shiniest glaze, work quickly and use as few strokes as possible. Scoop up any excess glaze from the baking sheet and use it to cover bare spots. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and let the cake rest on the rack for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cake plate and let sit at room temperature until set, 15 to 30 minutes, or up to several hours before serving. Serves 12.

The whole heart is thoroughly checked out in every case. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is the first test that is performed when a heart attack is suspected. A measurement of the recording known as the ST segment is important in determining the amount of damage. Heart attacks are classified accordingly. The more the ST is raised, the more damage has occurred. A heart attack is a form of acute coronary syndrome, in which there is a significant blockage in the coronary arteries. There are three main types: • ST segment elevation myocardial infarction • non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction • unstable angina, which is not technically a heart attack but is a warning that coronary arteries are partially blocked A blood test that finds abnormal levels of certain proteins over a few days is another indicator that the heart muscle has been damaged. An echocardiogram is a type of ultrasound and can tell doctors which parts of the heart have been affected and whether the heart function is compromised. As well, coronary angiography is used to determine the exact point or points of blockage. A narrow tube or catheter is inserted into one of the blood vessels in the groin or arm. X-ray techniques are used to guide it into the coronary arteries. Stents can also be inserted through the tubes if required. These are tiny “chicken wire” cylindrical cages that hold the blood vessels open. The death rate from coronary heart disease has plunged by as much as 38 percent in the last 10 years because of the use of stents, a decline in smoking, medications for high blood pressure and cholesterol and rapid emergency treatment after the initial 911 call for chest pain. Researchers at Yale University found that having paramedics transmit an ECG to the emergency room, having emergency room doctors rather than a cardiologist decide whether a patient was having a heart attack can reduce wait time and the amount of damage done to the heart muscle.

MPs blame railways for shipping delays FROM THE ARCHIVES

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

75 YEARS AGO: FEB. 13, 1941 Bacon stocks were piling up in Canada to the tune of three million pounds a week, and the Canadian bacon board estimated that the country now had 30 million lb. on hand. Some of the supply would be used up in the summer when supplies were typically less plentiful. An agriculture conference in Ontario recommended that the provincial government pay $3.7 million in subsidies for cheese and bacon producers and to help move feed grain from Western Canada to Ontario. The conference also urged legislation “authorizing the department of education to make effective the effort the provide farm labour from schools and colleges” as a step to reduce the shortage of farm labour.

of Alberta concluded after a twoday visit to the port of Vancouver that Liberal agriculture minister Joe Greene was right to blame the railways for the delay in grain shipments. They said grain cars were backed up on sidings as far as Kamloops, B.C., while the terminals in Vancouver were nearly empty. The Canadian Seed Growers A s s o c i at i o n w a nt e d g ra d i n g restrictions eased for Manitou wheat, a new rust resistant variety that seed growers were increasing. Forty thousand bushels of the new seed had rated only 35 percent germination in 1965, which would have normally categorized it as sub-standard seed grain and forced it into the commercial sales channel. However, the association said the new variety was in big demand, and even 35 percent germination seed should not be wasted.

U.S. president George H. Bush singled out the Canadian Wheat Board in a report to Congress, saying the lack of information on wheat board sales remained a thorny issue, despite the otherwise smooth implementation of the new Canada-U.S. free trade agreement. “Without adequate information of CWB sale prices in the U.S. and third country markets, we cannot verify Canadian compliance with FTA provisions in this area,” the report said.

FOOD FRAUD

Italian police seize olives ‘brightened’ with copper sulfate ROME, Italy (Reuters) — Italian police have seized 85,000 tonnes of green olives treated with copper sulfate to brighten their colour and thousands of tonnes of foreign olive oil being passed off as “Made in Italy.” Nineteen people face charges over the “painted” olives, including use of banned additives and planning to sell edible goods containing

dangerous substances, the forestry police said. Old olives from previous years’ harvests that had lost their colour were “recycled” with a coat of copper sulfate to give them an intense and uniform green colour. Police said copper sulfate was a clever choice because it is not normally classified as a colorant so food control authorities do not

usually test for it. The home of pizza and prosciutto has long struggled against counterfeiting of its prized culinary goods, and police estimate the domestic market for fake food is worth $1.5 billion a year. Police also said they put six people under investigation in the southern Puglia region and seized 7,000 tonnes of olive oil purporting

to be the Italian “extra virgin” variety that is prized for its rich taste and health benefits. DNA tests showed the olives that yielded the oil were from places such as Syria and Turkey rather than Italy, the police statement said. Thousands of tonnes of foreign oil falsely labelled as Italian had also been sold in North America and Japan, police said, feeding fears that

counterfeits could damage the reputation of Italian food. Producers rely on a perception of luxury to sell at higher prices abroad. Italian authorities say the olive industry’s nightmare year between 2014 and 2015, when bad weather, a fruit fly blight and a deadly bacterium hit crops, left the market more vulnerable to the risk of counterfeiting.

AG NOTES SASK. PARKS RECORD Visits to Saskatchewan provincial parks set a new record in 2015 with almost 3.9 million visits. For 2016, there are planned increases to many of the fees. Prices are expected to increase $1 for nightly camping, $1 to $5 for entry permits, $4 to $8 for group camping and $30 to $75 for seasonal camping. Fees for swimming lessons and organized youth group camping trips will remain the same as 2015. The increase in park entry fees represents the first time fees have changed in more than 10 years. A full description of the new fees is available on the SaskParks website at www.saskparks.net/fees. Saskatchewan does not charge extras for firewood, unlike many other jurisdictions. The nightly camping fee remains similar to Manitoba and lower than Alberta and British Columbia. The 2016 nightly camping reservation launch will occur in April of this year. DISTINGUISHED HONOUR Former Alberta Agriculture and Forestry researcher Dr. Jim Helm has been awarded the American Society of Agronomy Distinguished Service Award. The award is given to nominees that have made a transformational contribution to the agronomy profession. Helm worked for more than four decades as head of research at the Field Crop Development Centre in Lacombe,Alta., and oversaw the release of 42 cereal cultivars bred specifically for conditions in Alberta and Western Canada, including 32 barley varieties, nine triticale varieties and one winter wheat variety. Helm was born and raised in Washington state and had the opportunity as a master’s student to work with legendary Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug at Washington State University. Borlaug was an American biologist who is commonly referred to as the father of the green revolution for his introduction of high yielding varieties and introducing modern agricultural practices to many foreign countries. After obtaining his Ph.D. from Oregon State University, Helm moved to Alberta in 1973 to become the sole worker at the new provincial barley breeding program, now called FCDC. Under Helm’s leadership, the program grew into a world class cereal breeding facility with 10 scientists and more than 30 staff working in pathology, biotechnology, quality and breeding labs. Helm retired from FCDC in 2014. He has also received the Canadian Society of Agronomy’s Distinguished Agronomist award, the Alberta Centennial Medal for outstanding service to Alberta and the Alberta Science and Technology Award for Innovation in Agricultural Science and was inducted into the Alberta Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2002.

Saskatchewan Aboriginal Storytelling Month has grown from modest beginnings in 2004 with 2,800 participants to nearly 300 sessions and more than 16,500 participants last year.

GENETIC MODIFICATION

India stands pat on GM NEW DELHI, India (Reuters) — India needs more data before deciding whether to permit commercial growing of its first genetically modified food crop, its environment minister said, but indicated it would not stand “in the way of science” despite protests. Prakash Javadekar said the evaluation process would continue before the countr y moves ahead with the use of a technology that promises better farm yields but sharply divides public opinion. A committee of government and independent experts is seeking more information from a team of Indian scientists who have spent almost a decade on laboratory and field trials for a GM mustard crop. “We will not rush through, but we

will also not come in the way of science,” Javadekar told reporters. “We have to feed more than a billion mouths and we have to raise productivity... (but) we will not compromise on people’s health.” India spends billions of dollars every year importing edible oils and other food items to help offset its abysmal food productivity levels. Fa r m e r s a re s t u c k w i t h o l d technology, yields are at a fraction of global levels, cultivable land is shrinking and weather patterns have become less predictable. Some farm economists have said India should speed up efforts to embrace GM foods. But public and political opposition to transgenic food remains strong amid fears they could compromise food safety and biodiversity.

CROP PROTECTION

Bayer to fight insecticide order CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The agricultural unit of German chemicals company Bayer said it will fight a United States Environmental Protection Agency request to pull one of its insecticides from the marketplace amid concerns that it could harm organisms in streams and ponds. Bayer CropScience will instead ask for an administrative law hearing from the EPA’s Office of General Counsel to review the registration of flubendiamide, the active ingredient in Bayer’s Belt pesticide. The pesticide, launched in 2008, is used to control yield-damaging moths and worms in more than 200 crops including almonds, oranges and soybeans. Bayer’s tests have found that the pesticide is toxic in high doses to invertebrates in river and pond sediment. The organisms can be an important food source for fish. However, the company’s field

studies showed that doses in waters near agricultural fields never reached high enough levels to be toxic. But the EPA’s risk assessment disagreed so the agency sent Bayer the request on Jan. 29. “We are disappointed the EPA places so much trust on computer modelling and predictive capabilities when real-world monitoring shows no evidence of concern after seven years of safe use,” said Peter Coody, Bayer vice-president of environmental safety. A f t e r r e j e c t i n g t h e E PA’s request, Bayer now expects the agency to issue a formal request to cancel its registration of the pesticide. After a comment period mandated by U.S. pesticide regulation law, Bayer will ask for a formal hearing to determine the pesticide’s fate. Belt will remain on the market throughout the process.

PARIS, France (Reuters) — French foie gras lovers will have to pay more for the delicacy this year due to the recent bird flu outbreak in southwestern France that will halt output for four months, producers said. France’s favourite festive season treat has been hit by the government decision to freeze duck and geese farming as it aims to contain the virus, which had hit eight departments in the country’s top foie gras region since late November. The suspension in rearing, set to last until mid-May, will mean nine million birds, mostly ducks, will not be reared and will lead to a fall in foie gras output of at least 25 percent, French foie gras producers’ group CIFOG said. “There will be a rise in prices, it’s inevitable,” CIFOG chair Christophe Barrailh said. “But the impact on retail prices must be put

into perspective,” he added, noting French households spend an average of 29 euros (C$45) each on foie gras per year. France is by far the world’s largest foie gras producer and consumer. The southwestern region accounts for 71 percent of total output, CIFOG said. More than a dozen countries, including Japan, the world’s largest importer of foie gras, imposed restrictions on French foie gras after the bird flu outbreaks. Provided no new case of the virus is found, producers peg the loss to exports at 1,500 tonnes, worth about $60 million. “We are basing our estimate on a hypothesis where we will be able to export before Christmas,” JeanJacques Caspari, head of Rougie, a brand of the world’s largest foie gras maker Euralis, said on the

sidelines of a CIFOG news conference. “It may not be the case.” Imports, coming mainly from Hungary and Bulgaria, would benefit, but would not compensate for lost French output. The $3 billion industry see the costs of the crisis at $755 million, of which $415 million is in direct losses. Another $340 million would need to be invested in farms to meet new h e a l t h p ro t e c t i o n m e a s u re s expected to be imposed nationwide next week, CIFOG’s director Marie-Pierre Pe said. Foie gras is made from geese and duck livers that have been fattened with grain, usually by force feeding. Sold whole or as a pate, it is considered a gourmet food in both western and Asian cuisine, but the practice of force-feeding has often been criticized as cruel by animal activists.

ISTANBUL, Turkey (Reuters) — Standing amid a jumble of food stalls in an Istanbul market, 61-year-old Gulsen Yuce wond e r s h ow s h e c a n s t re t c h a n already tight budget to make ends meet as food prices rise week after week. Inflation has become Turkey’s biggest economic challenge, hitting the pockets of ordinary people even as president Tayyip Erdogan and the ruling party have built their reputation largely on economic growth and stability. “A head of lettuce is five lira and I have difficulty paying that much for it. I live on my own, I get by on fish or poultry instead of red meat,” said Yuce, one of the 10 million Turks who scrape by on pensions as low as 1,000 lira ($330) a month. Global food prices have fallen to their lowest in nearly seven years, but Turkey has struggled with food costs overshooting headline inflation — at a rate that has at times outpaced other emerging markets. Ankara’s inability to cool the rise has fuelled a blame game among food producers and retailers, with each accusing the other of hiking prices. Industry officials and economists say there are deeper structural problems, from the lack of a longterm agricultural policy to a supply chain hindered by middlemen and arcane bureaucracy. “Turkey sticks out like a sore thumb among the major emerging markets whose inflation rates are significantly above target,” said Nicholas Spiro of Lauressa Advisory, an economics and property consultancy. “There’s little indication that monetary policy will be tightened sufficiently any time soon to curb inflationary pressures, which are particularly prevalent in food despite the sharp decline in global food prices.” Annual inflation hit 9.58 percent in January, the highest since the middle of 2014, fuelled by an 11.69 percent rise in food prices, data showed this week. The central bank has hiked its food inflation estimate for this year to nine percent, from eight percent. By contrast, South African food prices rose 5.9 percent last year, just a touch more than the overall inflation rate of 5.2 percent. Turkey also outpaced Russia, where the food price increase was 1.1 percent greater than overall inflation. Central Bank governor Erdem Basci has cited the surging cost of bread and red meat as the main culprit and asked a governmentrun food committee to take measures to limit the impact on overall inflation, but it remains unclear what the committee can do. Food and beverages account for the largest portion of Turkey’s inflation basket, at 24 percent. The pr ice of a loaf of bread increased in Istanbul by 25 percent at the beginning of this year, while

the annual increase in red meat averaged 21 percent nationally last year. The economy minister has said Ankara will allow more red meat imports to keep prices down. But Turkey has already imported about $4 billion in meat and livestock over the last decade and that has done little to fight inflation. Industry officials and analysts said boosting imports would be a short-term remedy at best. The bigger problem, they say, lies with scattered farm ownership that prevents large-scale farming, outdated agricultural technology and unpredictable harvests borne of poor planning. Both the head of the red meat producers association, Bulent Tunc, and the chairman of the bakers association cited a web of middlemen as a major cause of price pressure. “There is a problem in the supply chain,” Tunc said. In Turkey, the food business is riddled with intermediaries. Farmers’ costs include bureaucratic formalities such as imposts, pesticide tests and quality certification, all of which are usually handled by informal middlemen. To reduce the impact of middlemen, the government enacted a law in 2012 to remove some informal intermediaries and give farmers direct access to retailers. That helped lower wholesale prices by almost 20 percent, but had little impact on retail prices, a central bank study found in 2015. “The power of big retailers to set prices seems to be the reason for that gap,” the study concluded. Retailers dismiss the idea that they have vast pricing power. “That’s an urban legend,” said Nihat Ozdemir, chair of Turkey’s main association of food retailers, citing stiff competition in fresh produce. “There isn’t a single retailer who can say they profit from fresh food.” They argue that they are saddled with high transport, distribution and wastage costs for fresh food, while profit margins are razorthin. Mehmet Nane, the chief executive officer of Carrefoursa, one of Turkey’s largest supermarket chains, blamed speculators for driving up the price of grains and meat, and said the governmentrun food committee should take action. Food expenditures account for nearly 22 percent of the budget of the poorest fifth of the population, official data shows. Food inflation has blunted the positive impact of a recent minimum wage hike for the poor, said Muammer Komurcuoglu, economist with Istanbul based Is Invest. That argument resonates with Yuce, the pensioner. “We are paid with a spoon and they take from us with a ladle,” she said.

HOG PRODUCTION

More PED found in Ontario Three cases were found in January, increasing the province’s total to 88 BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Most of the Ontario farms on which porcine epidemic diarrhea has been found have either eliminated the virus or have plans to do so this year. | FILE PHOTO

Three new cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus were reported on Ontario hog farms in January. One new case was confirmed Jan. 15 in a farrow to partial finish operation in Bruce County, a second was confirmed Jan. 21 in a Huron County finishing barn and a third was confirmed Jan. 28 in another Bruce County finishing barn. That brings Ontario’s total to 88. The three cases were the first ones

found this year in Ontario. Dr. Mike DeGroot, technical veterinarian with Ontario Pork, said Jan. 29 that the majority of infected farms in that province had either eliminated the virus or had plans to do so in 2016. Veterinarians at the Banff Pork Seminar held earlier this month indicated a small number of Ontario operations that have the virus had decided to live with it rather than eliminate it. DeGroot said he could neither confirm nor refute that information, although he has heard speculation on the matter.

“The majority of the sites are focusing on eliminating it, and as we get further in 2016 and we get down to even a handful of sites that are positive, we can start focusing in on helping them eliminate the virus as well,” he said. “Each situation is a little bit different, and I’m hoping that there’s very few or none that are looking at it and saying, ‘I’m just going to live with it forever.’ ” The PED virus thrives in cold weather, so producers trying to eradicate it in their barns may have better success in spring or summer, DeGroot said. PED is not a reportable disease, and there are no regulations requiring producers to eliminate it in their barns. Veterinarians have learned the best ways to eradicate the virus since it was first found in Canada in 2014. “I think there’s more reason there for a producer to look at his or her situation and decide elimination is the best thing,” said DeGroot. “We know we can eliminate the virus from all types of farm sites, so I think that should be the number one focus for a producer that breaks with PED, is, ‘let’s try and get PED eliminated from my farm and do it in as timely a fashion as possible.’ ” He said the next step in Ontario’s fight against the virus is to eliminate it from the province. All cases previously reported in Manitoba are now negative for the virus. Quebec, which once had 16 infected sites, has eliminated it from those premises. Similarly the single site on Prince Edward Island that reported PED in 2014 is now PED-free. The virus is almost always fatal to young piglets, which die quickly of dehydration and malnutrition. Older animals can survive it, and a vaccine now allows sows to provide early immunity to their litters. The virus is easily spread in manure and on various surfaces. Winter is considered a high-risk period for spread in part because it is more difficult to thoroughly clean things in cold weather. Ontario Pork posted a notice to its website warning producers to be diligent in their biosecurity. It carries out regular testing of high traffic sites for presence of the virus. “Recent environmental testing has shown increased detection of PED virus at federal and provincial processing plants,” it said on its website. “Increased survival of PEDV in colder weather may be one factor contributing to this rise in positive samples.… Sur veillance results indicate that producers and truckers should consider processing facilities, abattoirs and assembly yards as high risk for PEDV transmission and should take appropriate biosecurity precautions.” PED infections haven’t been found on hog operations in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The virus does not affect meat quality, and it is not a threat to people. barb.glen@producer.com

Latest weather not climate change: climatologist The most recent version of El Nino has caused drought in Indonesia, Brazil, South Africa and the southwestern U.S. BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Hotter temperatures around the world are not the result of global warming. Instead, they have been caused by a powerful El Nino disrupting weather patterns. “The El Nino event we have right now is no different than events in the 1880s, 1920s and 1930s,” said climatologist Art Douglas, professor emeritus at Creighton University in Nebraska. The current warming trend is similar to the El Nino of 1939-41, when Pacific Ocean temperatures spiked,

he said at the Cattlefax outlook session held during the Jan. 26-29 National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention in San Diego. “Most of the warming in the world has occurred from Alaska to Chile. The rest of the world’s oceans haven’t changed very much,” he said. Part of Douglas’s long-range forecasts rely on comparing current weather patterns to past climate events. Information such as sea surface temperatures, jet streams and other events are correlated. Warming concentrated in the upper Pacific Ocean tells him the climate is cycling back to a regime similar to 1974-94.

Sea surface temperatures across the globe show El Nino is massive and has had a profound effect on weather everywhere. “If we focus in the area off South America, we have water temperatures that are three Centigrade above normal,” he said. “There is a tremendous amount of energy in the ocean. The hotter the ocean, the more moisture there is in the atmosphere, and that is what has been driving the weather for almost 14 months,” he said. The warm water in the Pacific Ocean changes the direction of jet streams and may cause serious drought in some parts of the world

and heavy rain elsewhere. It has caused drought in Indonesia, northern Brazil, South Africa and the U.S. Southwest. Because of El Nino, the cattlerearing region of Queensland and Southeast Australia are in drought but the southwest part of the country is not. It has forced widespread livestock herd liquidation from which Australia may not recover for three to five years. California and Wyoming have been extremely dry, although this is expected to improve in early spring. However, these regions need at least 150 millimetres of rain above normal to end the drought

out and restore the region to a healthier state. “Unfortunately, I don’t think we are going to have that,” he said. Most of the moisture has been concentrated in the central part of the country, so growing conditions throughout rest of the United States should be healthy. However, he is expecting a cold, stormy March with lots of blizzards on the U.S. Plains. El Nino is expected to moderate by fall. Sea surface temperatures could remain 1.3 C above normal, but conditions could quickly flip and a La Nina might appear. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

BEEF INDUSTRY

U.S. lobbying restores red meat’s nutrition status BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The omnibus bill that killed the U.S. countryof-origin labelling law also put red meat back on the American menu by reversing controversial sections of the dietary guidelines program. An advisory committee that used health and nutrition information to review the nutrition guide had wanted to drastically cut back on red meat in the American diet. The committee said Americans were eating too much red and processed meat. It also wanted to add provisions about sustainability and environmental elements of beef production. “This was the first time any advisory committee had gone this far to include topics outside nutrition and health,” said Kristina Butts of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Washington, D.C., office. The omnibus bill said the final guidelines must remain within nutrition and health parameters, so sustainability and statements about marketing to children were eliminated. The bill also provided funding for a third party scientific committee to oversee the development of the guidelines. As a result, the U.S. agriculture and health departments announced revised nutritional guidelines Jan. 8 that encouraged Americans to eat a variety of protein sources, including lean meats such as beef, pork, lamb and poultry. “The statement of over-consumption about red and processed meats is no longer in the final dietary recommendation,” she said. This was considered a victory following last fall’s announcement from the International Agency for Research on Cancer that linked consumption of red meat and processed meats to pancreatic, prostate and colorectal cancer. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

South Africa’s corn dilemma

Rancher raised rodeo champs

Yellow corn as a human food is culturally difficult

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) — South Africa faces a drought-induced corn conundrum about the colour of its staple crop: white, yellow or a mix of the two? White corn is made into what is known locally as “pap,” the main source of calories for many households. The yellow variety is used almost exclusively as animal feed. However, a shortage of white corn looms after South Africa experienced its driest year on record last year. Prices for both have soared to record highs, but yellow corn

Greg Kesler, a well-known figure in the Canadian rodeo world, died Feb. 1 on the family ranch near Magrath, Alta. He was 70. Kesler was the owner and operator of Kesler Rodeo, a stock contracting company, and operated Kesler Championship Rodeo, a separate company, as partner to his son, Duane. In the course of his career, several of Greg Kesler’s horses achieved world championship titles on the rodeo circuit. Kesler is survived by his wife, Judy, his son, Duane, and daughter, Berva Dawn, as well as two grandsons.

remains cheaper and can be imported from a variety of countries, unlike the white. People in the outside world, many of whom happily eat yellow corn, may wonder what the fuss is all about. Italians consider their yellow corn version, polenta, a bit of a delicacy. However, South Africans have a cultural aversion to eating a food they consider fit only for livestock, despite its nutritional merits. “I would eat something else. I won’t eat yellow pap,” said 58-yearold taxi driver Elliot Ngindi as he stood by a street vendor in Johan-

nesburg’s financial district of Sandton, where several women cooked huge pots of pap. Consumers will probably have to hold their noses and choke down yellow pap or a mix of the two because South Africa may need to import up to six million tonnes of corn this year, which is more than half its requirements. Industry sources say food prices may increase 20 percent or more this year, putting significant upward pressure on overall inflation, which accelerated to 5.2 percent in December from 4.8 percent in November.

BH: Not really…. I don’t think you can look at the grain co-operatives in the United States and say, ‘oh, they’re like the pools of the 1950s.’ They’re not…. The reality in the ag business, the food business, is you have to have scale. You have to be big to spread your overheads over a volume of business, to be able to innovate and invest in technology and infrastructure…. So there are co-ops (in ag) but they operate using business principles. I think a lot of farmers in Western Canada, the ones that are going to be there in 10 to 15 years, they’re businesspeople. I don’t think they’re looking at needing to be politically engaged in transportation issues or all sorts of farm politics (through a co-op). WP: Some analysts have said that Canada’s agriculture industry has a “commodity mindset.” Instead of producing ag commodities, maybe we should brand Canadian products to achieve a competitive advantage. What do you think of that? BH: I never subscribed to the idea that branding Canada was going to be a way to prosperity…. We just need to focus on having solid health and regulatory systems that are world class. But it’s just a little arrogant to think … that somebody, in whatever country, and they go to purchase bread or oil and it says Product of Canada, and that leaps above all the other branding…. The (commercial) brands are going to drive the consumer product marketplace. The “Product of” is not going to sell the product… I’m in Quebec now and you can buy lobster here, and there’s actually a tag on it. You can go on your computer and see a picture of the guy who caught (it)…. That kind of traceability is going to be (important) for the major brands. Budweiser will probably say, ‘we can tell you what fields it (barley) was grown at and how it was grown.’ That’s the future, not putting a flag on something.

The federal agriculture department released a list Feb. 2 of regions that will be eligible for tax deferrals as a result of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dry conditions. The new list expanded on a preliminary list of drought-affected regions released in July. The new area comprises a large portion of south and central British Columbia, all but the northeast corner of Alberta, much of southwestern Saskatchewan and a portion of central Manitoba.

Warm temperatures late last year melted snow, leaving crops susceptible to winterkill and disease LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A drop in temperatures has improved the outlook for winter wheat in France, Germany and Britain. The colder weather prevents crops from becoming too advanced and thus curbs the threat from frost, pests and disease. Crops in Poland, where temperatures have dropped as low as -25 C at night, may have suffered winterkill, although the impact is not yet known. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am taking a relaxed view of the frosts as most of Germany has deep enough snow cover to prevent significant damage,â&#x20AC;? one German grains analyst said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? In France, farmers said a recent cold spell after unusually mild conditions this winter was beneficial for crops, and the temperature change was not sharp enough to cause damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is important is that we avoid wide changes in temperatures,â&#x20AC;? said Philippe Pinta, head of wheat growers group AGPB. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When temperatures fall progressively like they have been doing, there is no problem â&#x20AC;&#x201D; quite the opposite.â&#x20AC;?

It will resume its weekly crop ratings in February. In Britain, there had been concerns that heavier than normal rainfall and mild weather in the autumn and early winter could have increased pest and disease pressure on crops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This cold weather could have helped to manage that,â&#x20AC;? said analyst Jack Watts of Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is a welcome cold snap to give the crops a bit of resilience against some disease which is kicking around.â&#x20AC;?

CHINESE CORN IMPORTS

UNAPPROVED GM VARIETIES

Massive corn stocks prompt Chinese gov’t to cut domestic price

China vows tougher regulations on genetically modified crops

Demand for cheaper corn imports, including distillers grain, have hit record highs BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China, the world’s second-largest corn consumer, will cut domestic prices to spur demand from downstream industry and reduce cheaper imports, a senior government official said. China had a crop stockpiling policy to protect its rural population from fluctuating prices and prop up incomes. However, corn reserves are now at record highs, officially at about 100 million tonnes but as much as 170 million by some private analysts’ calculations. Demand for cheaper overseas supplies has spiked because the stockpiling elevated domestic prices. Increases in corn imports have been modest, but impor ts of corn substitutes such as distille r s g ra i n a n d s o r g h u m h av e soared, hitting record highs of more than 35 million tonnes last year. “If corn prices were set rationally on basis of supply and demand, China wouldn’t need to import at all,” said Chen Xiwen, deputy director with the Communist Party’s Central Rural Working Leading Group, the country’s top rural policy maker. “Domestic corn prices are not competitive, and the price needs to be set by the market to reduce imports of corn and corn substitutes,” he said. He said the import price of $342 per tonne was accepted by downstream corn processors and should

THE SUBSIDIZED CORN PRICE IS

20% higher THAN IMPORT PRICES be considered a “rational” level for domestic corn. The import price is 20 percent lower than the state support price for the current marketing year ending September and is lower than the $385 price proposed earl i e r by C h i na’s t o p p l a n n i n g agency. However, some traders oppose the cuts, saying they would erode farmers’ incomes. “A big price cut will not help consumption. The industry is still not willing to build inventories as they know that the government has massive stocks,” said Feng Jilong, a senior corn trader with a stateowned firm. Chen said Beijing is looking how to subsidize farmers without artificially raising prices, and is also studying whether to abandon the price support system and let the market decide. China is running out of space for the corn stockpiles and some of the aging crop is deteriorating. However, reducing the stocks would

take time because a rapid sell-off would have too big an impact on the market, said Han Jun, Chen’s deputy. The government plans to reduce the domestic corn acreage next year and encourage farmers to grow other crops, such as soybeans, of which the country is the world’s top buyer.

BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China aims to crack down further on the cultivation of illegal genetically modified crops, a senior agricultural official said following instances of the planting of unapproved strains of corn and soybeans. The agriculture ministry began a nationwide investigation last year amid media reports that farmers in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang were planting unapproved GM soybean varieties. As much as 93 percent of samples from cornfields in Liaoning, another northeastern province,

tested positive for GM varieties, a survey by environmental group Greenpeace shows. “We need to strengthen day-today regulation and strictly supervise the implementation of the law,” said Han Jun, the deputy director of the office of the Chinese Communist Party’s rural policy unit. “From the source, we must prevent genetically modified seeds that have not been approved from illegally entering the market,” Han said. People who are worried about the risks of GM products must

have the right to choose whether to use them, he added. China permits imports of GM soybeans, but only for use in animal feed. Han said China’s policy on GMOs remained consistent, and the country is still committed to the research, development and commercialization of the technology. China will continue to “prudently promote GMO technology on the basis of guaranteeing safety,” authorities said in a document published Jan. 27 that sets out the country’s rural policy priorities for the year.

CROP ESTIMATES

Drought could slash South African corn crop by 25 percent JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) — South Africa will likely harvest 7.44 million tonnes of corn this year, 25 percent less than the 9.94 million tonnes reaped last year because of a scorching drought. The government’s Crop Estimates Committee said it would be the smallest crop since 2007. The corn crop will consist of an

estimated 3.27 million tonnes of white corn and slightly more than 4.17 million tonnes of yellow, the CEC said in its maiden forecast for this year’s crop, which it provided a month earlier than usual to assist policy makers plan for potential shortages. The government has estimated that up to six million tonnes of corn may need to be imported this year,

more than half of the country’s needs. Domestic corn prices have been scaling all-time peaks as drought concerns mount. Last year, South Africa recorded its lowest rainfall levels since records began in 1904. The central bank has repeatedly expressed concern about the drought and its impact on inflation, which accelerated to 5.2 percent in

December from 4.8 percent in November. The situation is especially worrying for the white variety of corn, which is the staple source of calories for many households and is not widely grown outside of the region. Yellow corn, used for livestock, can be easily sourced elsewhere. An El Nino is expected to keep much of the corn belt hot and dry

until the end of the growing season in April. Record-high temperatures were posted in many parts of South Africa earlier in January. South African corn farmers are estimated to have planted 4.9 million acres for the 2016 season, down 25 percent from the 6.55 million acres they seeded last year because of the drought, the CEC said.

When Egyptians rose up against autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011, a signature chant was â&#x20AC;&#x153;bread, freedom and social justice.â&#x20AC;? Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state grain buyer, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), confirmed it received no offers in its tender, and said it was now looking for a direct contract, something traders said was unrealistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Negotiations are ongoing now for the import of three million tonnes outside of the tender process,â&#x20AC;? said GASC vice-chair Mamdouh Abdel Fattah. The move by traders to shun the tender was prompted by mounting concerns that their shipments would be rejected at the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ports because of tough new import standards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot remember a GASC tender ever being cancelled for lack of offers, certainly not in recent years,â&#x20AC;? a Europe-based trader said. The shelved tender comes after GASC rejected a 63,000 tonne wheat shipment for containing traces of ergot, a common grain fungus, despite it meeting the .05 percent threshold allowed by the authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specifications.

It is not possible to guarantee zero ergot content from any origin, and the likelihood that cargoes will be rejected is so high that it is not possible to add a risk premium. GRAIN TRADER

Traders viewed the shipment, supplied by Bunge, as a crucial test for whether Egypt would stick to a stringent new zero-ergot standard they say makes doing business here prohibitively expensive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People had expected the Bunge ship to be accepted, and there was great concern when it was rejected,â&#x20AC;? the same European-based trader said. Mixed signals among authorities have deepened concerns. The supply ministr y, which includes GASC, has baffled traders in recent weeks by assuring them their shipments would be permitted with ergot levels up to .05 percent, which is a common international standard, even as agricultural authorities rejected all shipments higher than zero. Traders say it is impossible to guarantee the complete absence of ergot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The risk of bidding in GASC tenders is now too high,â&#x20AC;? another trader said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not possible to guarantee zero ergot content from any origin, and the likelihood that

Egypt has rejected three wheat import shipments due to the presence of ergot, an agriculture ministry spokesman said Feb. 2. Uncertainty over Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliability as a customer has hit markets at a time of global oversupply, helping push European wheat prices to new contract lows. Suppliers, many of whom have continued to supply Egypt despite payment delays caused by the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing foreign currency shortage, decided Feb. 2 that the added layer of risk brought about by the ergot situation was simply too much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless Egypt changes its rules, it could face trouble importing,â&#x20AC;? said the first European trader. Egypt imports 10 million tonnes of wheat a year, most of which goes to providing cheap, subsidized bread to feed its exploding population of 90 million. Egypt has said it has enough strategic wheat supplies to last until May 11, but this number includes shipments that had not yet arrived, including the recently rejected 63,000 tonnes. Much of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calculated reserves sit outside Egypt in shipments that still may be rejected, traders said, raising the possibility that reserves could hit critical levels sooner than anticipated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This shows how an argument between the two ministries is risking the supply of a strategic commodity like wheat,â&#x20AC;? a Cairo-based trader said.â&#x20AC;? Another Cairo-based trader issued a more dire warning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a matter of national security for Egypt.... You cannot leave the country without wheat for bread.â&#x20AC;?

FOOD SECURITY

Drought tests Ethiopia’s support program Despite government agriculture projects, aid groups say $1.4 billion in aid is needed FEDETO/ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (Reuters) — On a treeless plain in eastern Ethiopia, thousands of destitute pastoralists have set up camp outside the tiny village of Fedeto. The camp has swelled over the past six months as one of the worst droughts in decades decimated herds, dried up pasture and made even drinking water scarce. “We wandered for three months, losing every single animal apart from two donkeys,” said Saido Ahmed Keyat, a 29-year-old mother of five, whose family had boasted 200 sheep and goats, 15 cattle, eight camels and seven donkeys.

The scale of the need is really huge and has outstripped the Ethiopian government’s ability to do this on their own. CAROLYN WILSON SAVE THE CHILDREN CHARITY

“All my children are malnourished. They need milk, they need many things.” Ethiopia’s failed rains, which meteorologists blame on El Nino, have created a drought in some areas of the country that is worse

than the 1984 crisis. Back then, water shortages and conflict combined to cause a famine that killed an estimated one million people. In the years since, Ethiopia has transformed under a government that promotes rapid economic development, although it is criticized for limiting many political freedoms. One of its signature schemes is a rural support program designed to keep Ethiopians from starvation. The new drought is putting that model to the test. More than 10 million people are now critically short of food, accord-

ing to figures compiled by the government with its humanitarian partners. It is putting a strain on the government as well as the budgets of international aid groups and donors. “The scale of the need is really huge and has outstripped the Ethiopian government’s ability to do this on their own,” said Carolyn Wilson, chief executive officer of the Save the Children charity, after touring some of the afflicted regions in the country’s north and east. An estimated $1.4 billion is needed for food and other resources this year, according to the government and aid partners. The government said 30 percent of that had been

raised from donors, and the World Food Programme said $500 million was needed by the end of February to extend the aid effort beyond April. That won’t be easy in a world facing the demands of the migrant crisis and conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. “It’s not that donors have not responded,” said WFP country director John Aylieff. “But they have not managed to keep pace.” Today’s needs would be far greater were it not for the massive changes in Ethiopia over the past three decades. In 1984, the then-communist government known as the Derg tried to hide the famine, while conflict and social engineering projects such as farm collectivization exacerbated the scale of hunger. Rebels toppled the Derg in 1991, and the government that followed has delivered stellar economic growth rates, hitting double digits in some years. The success is visible from endless construction in the capital and new highways crossing the nation. In 2005, Ethiopia started the Productive Safety Net Programme, which was helping 7.9 million people facing chronic food insecurity even before the latest drought. Those people receive food or cash transfers in return for community work. The government allocated $272 million extra spending in 2015 and a further $109 million this year to deal with the drought, said Mikitu Kassa, head of the National Disaster Risk Management Commission. It is roughly equivalent to Ethiopia’s entire state budget two decades ago, he said. The government says no one has died from starvation, but some of those in the worst affected area contradict the claim. One woman in Fedeto said 20 had died in the past two months, though it was not possible to verify. Mikitu said the government would spend whatever is needed if aid did not flow, although he said it could mean cutbacks on other projects. However, he said the government’s “mega projects” — new national railways, roads and dams — would go ahead. Those projects are part of plans to industrialize Ethiopia. Eighty percent of the nation still relies on agriculture, mostly rain-fed pastures or subsistence small holdings. The better transport links have already proved vital, allowing easier access for relief workers. “The nature of the government that we had in 1984 is quite different from the current government,” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Delay expected on pork trade to Europe BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Mikitu said in Addis Ababa, where Sub-Saharan Africa’s first metro system opened last year and now snakes its way above trafficclogged streets. The architect of modern Ethiopia, rebel leader-turned-prime minister Meles Zenawi, told a 1991 news conference in Addis Ababa that his gauge of success would be “if Ethiopians were able to eat three meals a day.” Ethiopia has not yet achieved that goal. Critics of the government — Meles died in 2012 but many of his policies continue under successor Hailemariam Desalegn — say it is authoritarian and stifles opponents. No opposition party won a seat in last year’s parliamentary election. The U.S. State Department said then that it remained “deeply concerned by continued restrictions on civil society, media, opposition parties and independent voices and views.” Ethiopian officials deny restricting freedoms. However, in their determination not to let fresh images of hunger overshadow the government’s development credentials, some ministers sent conflicting signals early in the crisis about how bad it was and how much help was needed, aid workers say. “We have to walk on egg shells in terms of what we can say,” said one international aid worker, who has followed Ethiopia’s progress since the 1980s. Mikitu blamed any confusion on the speed at which the numbers of those facing critical food shortages grew. It was 2.9 million In January 2015 but swiftly rose, often in increments of several million, to 10.2 million by December. However, even the government’s ability to gather such figures is testament to the way Ethiopia has changed. Fedeto, in a remote area of the hard-hit Site region, has benefited from that change. A tiny clinic, one of thousands built over the past two decades, doles out rations and treats the malnourished. The village also has a water tower and a school. That helps, though only up to a point. The administrator of the village of 600 people said he was struggling to meet the needs of 7,500 exhausted arrivals who are now camped nearby. “There is a lot of pressure on us,” Dahir Omar Hosh said. “People are still coming.”

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 Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and Europe could potentially scuttle the deal. Canada stands to gain export access for 80,000 tonnes of dutyfree 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. “Best case scenario for EU, for the CETA to be implemented, is probably 2017…. There’s a huge issue right now on (the) investor-state dispute, which is potentially a deal breaker, and if it can’t be resolved, CETA could find itself put on the shelf for awhile.” The European Union has more than 500 million people who eat 40 kilograms of pork per capita, compared to 22 kg in Canada.

Rice said headway was made during CETA negotiations to develop a licensing system for available quota that was an improvement on the first come, first served system. He said the negotiated system allows more lead time to obtain licenses and is more flexible about when those can be used. In contrast, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which includes Canada and 11 other countries, could be signed as early as February, said Rice. It has would put Canada in at least as good a position as the United States in terms of pork export potential to Japan, and could mean an additional $300 million in Canadian pork exports to that country. barb.glen@producer.com

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION

Countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grain car fleet running out of time The company that monitors grain movement in Canada warns the existing fleet will be off the rails by 2036 BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fleet of rail hopper cars is rolling toward obsolescence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time we get to 2036, the existing fleet is totally gone,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Hemmes, president of the Quorum Corp., which monitors the logistics of grain movement in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market. In 1985 the Canadian Wheat Board, federal and provincial government owned a hopper car fleet of 18,200 cars. In 2016, that shrank to 13,000 cars and more are going to be removed as the fleet continues to age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are starting to hit the downward slide and cars are going to be taken out,â&#x20AC;? he said at the Western Barley Growers Association convention held in Calgary Feb. 3-4. In 2022, more cars, mostly from Alberta will leave the fleet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By 2027 if this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t addressed we are at crisis stage,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, the waiting time to

get in line to manufacture cars takes four years,â&#x20AC;? he said. The railway companies have bought some and with increased efficiencies the cars are turned around more quickly. They used to take 21 days to reach a port but due to various efficiencies they are turned around in 14 days so cars return to the system sooner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we are going to get any more efficient and the only way you are going to replace that capacity is to buy more steel,â&#x20AC;? Hemmes said. Aging rolling stock is among many challenges in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grain transportation system. Volumes have increased substantially and transportation routes have changed. Vessels continue to wait too long at seaports. Since 1980 grain volumes have increased. The average haulage for the first 10 years between 1980-90 was about 41 million tonnes per year. In the last five years there has been an upward trajectory where

MARK HEMMES QUORUM CORP.

production has moved up to 69 million tonnes of cereals, canola and special crops. Most of that comes from the Prairies. About 73 percent of the grain moves through the western Canadian ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert for export mostly to Pacific Rim countries. In 1980, 25 percent of western grain went to the West Coast. The rest went to Thunder Bay. Now that port receives about 25 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our methods have shifted dra-

matically and we continue to see more and more growth to the Asian-Pacific markets,â&#x20AC;? he said. Another 7.5 million tonnes moves by rail to United States and 3.2 million tonnes are trucked stateside. In 2011, when the Canadian Wheat Board existed as a single desk marketer, about 1.9 million tonnes were trucked across the border. Ocean freight has made a big difference in grain movement but has struggled because of challenges like vessels languishing in ports while waiting for grain to come in on rail. Vessel demurrage is regularly paid and grain companies pass that on to producers.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it hit its peak at the end of the 2013-14 crop year we were almost up to 28 days on average for a vessel in port,â&#x20AC;? Hemmes said. The average was $6,000 per day for demurrage. The contracts were usually for eight to 10 days so they had to pay for the extra 18 days. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total demurrage bill on the West Coast was a record $53 million. There were also contract penalties and cancelled sales.

Malting barley growers had argued that coverage under commercial barley insurance did not reflect their risk. | FILE PHOTO SAFETY NET

Malt barley offered crop insurance The Alberta program will be available for this growing season BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Crop insurance for malt barley will be available for Alberta growers this year. The idea grew out of a resolution submitted to the Alberta Barley Commission in 2014 where growers argued coverage under commercial barley insurance did not reflect the risk to growers, said Jesse Cole of Alberta Financial Services Corp. There is higher growing risk and additional quality risk associated with malt barley, but there were also some challenges that prevented a specialized insurance program in the past, he told the Western Barley Growers Association annual meet-

ing in Calgary Feb. 3-4. AFSC wanted premium cost sharing with the federal government and there needed to be assurances the program was trade neutral. Malt barley is not visually distinguishable from feed and it is hard to determine whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being grown intentionally for malting end use. Maltsters may also have different requirements for acceptable barley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a bunch of different standards between companies so it is difficult to pin down what quality level we could insure,â&#x20AC;? he said. To be eligible, the producer must have a contract for more than 40 tonnes. The contract can be with companies outside Alberta. Eligible varieties come from the

Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended variety list or anything specified on the malt contract. A producer cannot insure at the malt level if feed varieties are grown on the same farm in the same year. Cole said among the 6,000 barley AFSC clients, 376 will have to insure at the commercial level. Doug Robertson, chair of the barley growers association, said a declaration should be considered for those who grow both. There are new categories of wheat coming and they face a similar situation, he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Ocean shipping rates hit new low The Baltic Dry Index dips below 300 points for first time BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

WINNIPEG — The cost of shipping dry goods across the ocean continues to explore uncharted waters with the Baltic Dry Index now below 300 points for the first time. The BDI was quoted at 298 points Feb. 4, marking a new low since records began in 1985. The index was trading above 1,200 as recently as the beginning of August but has struggled ever since with “new record lows” a consistent headline over the past two months. The index is compiled daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange and provides an assessment of the price of moving major raw materials by sea, including grain. An overcapacity of ships, the slowdown in Chinese demand for building materials, weakness in crude oil and declining commodity prices have all been cited as contributing factors to the lower freight rates. The lower freight rates even the playing field for Canadian grain and oilseed exporters into many markets, but they are already causing some shipping companies to dock their boats and others to go out of business.

Weak loonie helps Saputo increase profit (Reuters) — Saputo Inc. has reported higher than expected adjusted earnings, helped by weakness in the Canadian dollar. Adjusted net income rose 13.5 percent to $175.4 million, or 44 cents a share, for the company’s fiscal third quarter. Revenue during the quarter, which ended Dec. 31, rose 2.8 percent to $2.9 billion. Analysts were expecting Saputo to earn 39 cents per share on revenue of $2.9 billion, according to Thomson Reuters. The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar boosted revenues by $261 million during the quarter, Saputo said. The company, whose brands include Dairyland milk and Armstrong cheese, is one of Canada’s largest dairy producers. As well, it is among the top three cheese producers in the United States and has significant operations in Argentina and Australia.

“We purchased a set of the VW11FCC Full Carbide drill points and put on our drill this last year, and were amazed at what we found after seeding our first spring crop with them. The emergence of the crop seeded with the VW product, in a field next to a competitors product, was unbelievable. The competitors seeding was later emerging and uneven. There was no comparison in the stand and healthiness of the plant. There is no doubt we will be using more VW products in the future. I would recommend to anyone.” Colony from Glacier County, MT.

ECONOMY

Financial advisers give it their best guess The low dollar is supporting farmgate prices, but financial analysts disagree on where the loonie is headed BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — Canadian farmers are in the enviable position of being buffered, to some small extent, from the volatile world economic situation. That’s the view of JP Gervais, chief economist with Farm Credit Canada, and international investment adviser Donald Coxe who spoke here at the Ontario Processing Vegetable Industry Conference Feb. 2 and 3. “You happen to be in a field in which the commodities you produce are not subjected as much by these global influences,” Coxe said. That said, Coxe was not painting a rosy picture. Oil prices have collapsed, and with them the value of the Canadian dollar and China is no longer able to prop up world economic fortunes with massive infrastructure spending, he said. “This is an extraordinary situation. It’s unique. Anyone making a prediction is only guessing.”

The best Gervais could say for Canada’s overall economic prospects is that 2016 is likely to be “sluggish.” Coxe and Gervais said the low dollar is helping to support farmgate prices in Canada. They disagreed on the direction it’s headed. Coxe wouldn’t commit but cited the recent 59 cents prediction, compared to U.S. currency, by the Mcquarie Group, a respected finance and investment adviser from Australia. “We don’t know where the floor is.” In contrast, Gervais suggested the dollar may strengthen, but to no

more than 75 cents. Even if oil prices begin to recover, that’s likely the cap for 2016, he said. Coxe and Gervais agreed that China is no longer the world economic driver it once was. Coxe said t h e c o u nt r y ’s rea l e c o n o m i c growth may have fallen to as little as four percent. It’s not necessarily all bad news, however. Coxe said the shift from China’s focus on commodities to consumerism was needed and Gervais said the disposable income of the average Chinese consumer has grown by about nine percent. Canadian agriculture can benefit,

Amendments to federal regulations made a year ago are now in effect, giving more producers access to cash advances and simplifying the application process. Federal agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay said the program is more flexible. The changes in place under the Agricultural Marketing Programs Act for the 2016 program year make specific classes of breeding cattle, hogs, sheep and goats intended for market eligible for advances. Producers can use more types of security, such as private insurance, to obtain advances, a streamlined process reduces paperwork for returning clients and there is easier access for companies with multiple shareholders. “These changes to the Advance Payments Program will mean improved cash flow for farmers, helping them meet their financial obligations while at the same time reducing their paper burden,” MacAulay said. The program offers advances of not more than 50 percent of the average market price the department estimates producers would receive for a particular product to a maximum of $400,000. Ottawa pays the interest on the first $100,000 issued per production period and producers have until the end of that period to repay the money. The advances are administered by producer organizations in each province. A list can be found at www.agr.gc.ca. karen.briere@producer.com

For people with money saved, there’s little in the way of income and highly leveraged companies are at risk if rates rise. “There is a level of addiction here … (and) there’s a lot of companies that are not functioning all that well and will not be able to function at all if interest goes to two or three percent.” Coxe is currently based in Chicago as chair of Coxe Advisors LLC. He has more than 40 years experience in institutional investment in Canada and the United States and once served as executive director of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

Gervais added, especially when higher value food products are involved. A wild card in the picture is India. Coxe said the subcontinent is hampered by the bureaucracy of its government, a leftover of socialistinfluenced British rule. “It’s hard to get things done there but India, in fact, is the best hope for the world.” Coxe and Gervais said interest rates should remain relatively low although there is some indication modest increases are in the offing. To Coxe, the cheap cost of borrowing money has its downsides.

There is just over one month left to nominate someone for the 2016 Saskatchewan Outstanding Young Farmers’ Program. Nomination forms are available at www.saskoyf.ca and must be received by March 1, 2016. Nominees may be an individual, couple or managing partner/shareholder of a farm group. To qualify, the nominee must derive a minimum of two-thirds of gross revenue from farming, have an invested interest in the farming operation, and not have reached the age of 40 as of January 1 of this year. Celebrating its 35th year, Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers’ program is an annual competition to recognize farmers that exemplify excellence in their profession and promote the tremendous contribution of agriculture, and rural Canada. Demonstrating leadership in the agricultural industry, nominees are judged according to the following criteria: • Progress made in their agriculture career • Environmental and safety practices • Crop and livestock production history • Financial and management practices • Contributions to the well-being of their community, province, nation The 2016 winner will be selected at the Saskatchewan regional event being held in Regina from June 16-17. The winner will be announced at a luncheon on June 17th at Canada’s Farm Progress Show. They will then represent Saskatchewan at the National Awards Program, to be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario in November. The 2015 Saskatchewan Outstanding Young Farmers, Jeff and Ebony Prosko from Rose Valley, represented Saskatchewan at the National Event held last November in Edmonton, AB.

RTK

Breaking the chains of your implement paint BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

While radio-based RTK correction signals for guidance are adequate for producers on flat land close to a dealer’s tower, the fact is that these systems still depend on line-of-sight. That problem is compounded by the fact that there is little compatibility between brands. If your tractor is red, then your system has to be Trimble. If your tractor is green, then your system has to be Deere. But if you mix colours, you’re going to run into problems and you won’t find sympathy or help from the dealer in most cases. Technology developers in most other industries are touting connectivity, openness and interoperability. In agriculture however, the main manufacturers continue to protect their proprietary systems. Poor RTK performance and manufacturers proprietary protection are the two significant problems that a Colorado company called Intuicom set out to solve with the introduction of their RTK Bridge-X device. The company says Bridge brings total connectivity to RTK by allowing reliable access to wi-fi, internet, Bluetooth, ethernet and cellular RTK. All these signals are available in the cab, regardless of paint colour. As well, the wi-fi feature gives the operator access to smart phones, tablets and laptops in the cab. The Bluetooth feature eliminates the need for extra cables running around the implements, and makes it easy to install and start. In the case of Kentucky farmer Bobby Boggess, his Bridge Bluetooth feature provides precise depth control on the tile plow without having to run extra cables from the tractor to the plow. Intuicom chief engineer Peter Miller says the system gives farmers precise network corrections without having to spend big on equipment upgrades. “We can take the oldest Trimble gear, something like an old 252, for example, and network correction enable it with RTK. It makes economic sense because it extends that previous investment in equipment out over a much longer time period.” To provide even better accuracy and reliability, Miller says Intuicom is developing new technology that will allow the one device to access two different streams of correction simultaneously.

RTK

Meld signals to exploit maximum connectivity New system helps bridge the gap between wi-fi, internet, Bluetooth, ethernet and cellular BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Despite a major investment in RTK, which is used to improve data from satellite positioning systems, many producers still e x p e r i e n c e s i g na l l o s s a n d become frustrated at the wasted time waiting for the system to come back to life. The situation is more maddening when using RTK to guide a tile drainage plow, in which case the operator can lose confidence that his renewed signal is putting the plow down to the correct depth. An even greater frustration is the time wasted if producers have to stop to manually measure tile depth to check it or recalibrate. That’s the situation Bobby Boggess found himself mired in last fall when he moved his green RTK system over to his newly acquired tile plow. Boggess farms 1,500 acres of corn and beans near Hardin, Kentucky. Using the radio-based RTK from his local John Deere dealership, he says that he typically lost signal three or four times a day on his planter, sprayer and combine. “Now, when I’m talking about losing signal, I’m not talking

Bobby Boggess said he used to routinely lose signal from his dealer’s radio-based RTK network. | RON LYSENG PHOTO about just the 15 or 30 seconds kind of stuff. I’m talking about having to shut down and then bring everything back up,” says Boggess, noting that it cost him about five minutes of field time every time it happened. “On things like planting and harvesting, I felt the new location spot when I got the signal back was OK left and right and down the row. It was close enough for guidance, but it was still frustrating. “But tile is a different story. They

say the vertical signal for the plow is more sensitive. I was worried about how my RTK would handle depth control, so I went shopping for a solution.” Water doesn’t run uphill, so there’s no room for elevation error with tile drainage. Concerned that RTK signal loss could have a devastating impact on any new tile installation, Boggess searched for a way to ensure against signal loss. When he heard about Intuicom’s RTK Bridge-X, he decided to try the device on the tile plow. The Bridge melds RTK signals from every available brand and type of source. It provides consistent steering and elevation control. Signal sources include wi-fi, internet, Bluetooth, ethernet and cellular. It serves as a wi-fi hotspot with internet access to smart phones, tablets and laptops in the cab. And because it’s a Bluetooth receiver, there’s no bundle of cables connecting the various devices. “When you’re plowing (tile), the last thing you want is to be running a 1,300 foot lateral and lose signal, or even fear that you are going to lose signal. You have to stop, regroup and start all over again,” Boggess explained in a news release.

He says the installation was simple. It doesn’t add new RTK signals. It maximizes the different signals already available. “I put about 30 days on my plow using the Bridge last year, and I never did lose my signal the whole time. Not once.” As an added benefit, Boggess says signal capture in the morning is faster with the Bridge than it was as a subscriber solely to the Deere system. “Now, when I crank my Intuicom system up, my feed is instantaneous. I go to a green satellite and I keep that solid green satellite on the screen all day. That’s something I couldn’t say with my previous RTK system,” Boggess said in the release, adding that it was easy to install and get it running. “It’s a big capital outlay (RTK), that’s for sure, so you want to know it’s working for you. And it’s got to be simple to use. “You take a bunch of guys like me in their 50s and 60s and we’re still trying to figure out how to use our iPhone, most of us. The Bridge is simple enough for us.” For more information, contact Boggess at bgboggess@mchsi. com or call 270-519-1290. ron.lyseng@producer.com

Breathing new life into old air carts Small investment equals a big upgrade BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Ground-drive air carts built before the dawn of the modern digital age can be upgraded with the installation of a new Air Cart Monitor displaying five main functions. Introduced at Ag Expo in Minot, North Dakota, last month, the device from IntelligentAg monitors bin levels, meter roll shaft, meter box, fan speed and grounddrive clutch control. It sends all information to the cab via wireless, where it’s displayed on the same iPad that serves the company’s acousticbased Wireless Blockage and Flow Monitor. It can also function as an independent unit on carts that don’t yet have the blockage and flow device. The new Air Cart Monitor was designed specifically to retrofit older carts built before sophisticated monitoring was available, said Bobby Volesky at IntelligentAg in Fargo, N.D. “There are thousands of these carts still in use, but the electronics are wearing out. Replacement components are hard to find and they’re pricey,” said Volesky. The new monitor is a significant technological upgrade that keeps the cart working at a reasonable cost of US$4,250, he added. “It has to be a ground-drive system because we’re powering on and off that clutch,” he said. “We add a couple things to make it work. We add a central controller we call a gateway that does all the processing. That hooks to a PM4 (power module four) that receives signals from your sensors on the cart.” Volesky said the first run of monitors will target carts with which they’ve had experience and that have compatible sensors, including Concord, Case 2800, Amity and FargoAir. More carts will be added by the end of the year. Variable rate is not available now, but it eventually will be. “The beautiful thing about the device is that it’s expandable. It’s all embedded software so we can upgrade the box if a farmer with ground drive wants to convert over to hydraulic drive.” The device is built and sold by IntelligentAg, but the basic concept came from Gene Breker of Agco Amity in Fargo. “Gene has been what we call the visionary on this project. He was there since the first air seeders at the very beginning with Concord, then Case, FargoAir and Amity. He’s the guy over the decades who fielded calls from farmers whose electronics have stopped,” says Volesky. Breker recalled the winter day three years ago when the light bulb came on for the idea of a dedicated monitor for older ground-drive carts. He and his brother, Joe, own 15 air carts they rent to other farmers in southeastern North Dakota. “I was sitting in my truck down at

the farm, just sitting and looking at these 15 air carts. Nine of them were built prior to the new ISO

technology,” Breker said. “I asked myself why we have all these tanks that require training every time someone comes to pick them up. Because they go on a different implement every time they

go out of the yard. “So I started sketching out in my mind what kind of new technology we could adapt to these older tanks to bring them up to modern standards. And that’s what started this

whole process.” For more information, contact Bobby Volesky at 701-630-4117 or visit www.intelligentag.com. ron.lyseng@producer.com

Farmers still need precision farming support Seed-placed PRECISION HAPPENS

TERRY A. BRASE

s the use of technology is expanding and more of the things we do require a computer and basic computer literacy, the younger generation would seem to have a major advantage. They have serious finger skills. On the other side is my motherin-law; she has happy fingers. Usually something happy is good, but in regards to computer use, happy fingers is not a good thing. I’m sure this term has been around for some time and I’m not going to claim to have created it. It describes a person who gets too active on the computer keyboard or any other technology where there are buttons, without knowing what is going on. I am going to pick on my motherin-law (she is unlikely to ever read this) to illustrate what happy fingers are. She and my father-in-law signed up for cable TV several years ago. This necessitated a convoluted arrangement of cabling so that the receiver worked with the DVD and VHS players that they used. We ended up with three remotes for all of the devices. After some work, I got it down to one remote control to control everything. The problem was that there were still too many buttons. She couldn’t remember all of the instructions and would lose her patience. Then the happy fingers would start, pushing buttons at random. When the software didn’t do what she expected, she would start pressing a few other buttons. By the time she called me, TV and receiver settings would be so

messed up I would just unplug and reset everything. There is also something I call dead fingers. These fingers belong to people that are afraid of touching anything on the keyboard for fear they will kill the machine. I once had a female student in an introduction to computer class that was scared of the keyboard. After some instruction that would require typing on the keyboard, she would just sit and look at it. I would literately have to point directly at every key and encourage her to press each one before she would do anything. This is understandable for the first week or two, but by midterm she was still too scared to do anything on the computer by herself. I’ll admit that my small screen skills are not very good and that I have fat fingers that prevent me from being accurate on those tiny keys on my phone. I’m always amazed how fast my daughter can tap out a text messages. It seems that most of the younger generation have fast fingers and have no problem tapping out a message with one hand tied behind their back. These people have grown up with computers and it is a part of their lives. My first exposure to computers was in 1980, my first year of teaching when I had an Apple IIe in my classroom. I am a gadget guy so I was fascinated by the technology and have continued to learn. However, not everybody in my generation is enamored with technology or got the early start for which I had the opportunity. Many people my age or older have happy fingers, which they use to randomly hit keys hoping to get positive results. The younger grower or computer operator doesn’t typically have these problems. They aren’t afraid of exploring a new computer or running through the latest software, clicking and tapping away. If they get lost or run into an error,

Computer users come in all levels of comfort, from happy fingers to dead fingers. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO they can get themselves out of it. The lesson here is that in precision farming, we have young technicians with smart and fast fingers that are supporting and assisting a slightly older generation of growers with happy fingers. How can we help those happy fingers? For my mother-in-law, I used pieces of tape to cover 90 percent of the buttons on the remote, leaving only those buttons that she absolutely needed. This allowed her to see more clearly and reduce her choices of what she could push. Applying this concept for the technology challenged grower, it means easier displays in the tractor along with more intuitive menu structures. Displays and menus have improved over the last few years but our happy fingered growers may still have problems. Something else that helped my mother-in–law was a cheat sheet that I created with a diagram of the remote and simple step by step instructions on how to change the channel or how to watch a DVD. Cheat sheets can also be created by precision ag specialists for their

growers. They can have icons, screen shots, and basic instructions for major tasks and correcting minor problems. Laminate the cheat sheet and it can be a permanent accessory in the tractor cab. The last thing I did for my motherin-law was to be available when she had a problem. Patience and availability assured her and she didn’t end up hitting every button on the remote before calling; she would call before undoing every setting. Technicians need to be available for their happy fingered growers and have patience with them. Though I am making fun of happy fingers, the main point is that support services are still a need within the precision farming industry. There are many growers out there who want to do precision farming but they lack the knowledge and ability to use technology. Precision happens when we make technology accessible to all. Terry A.

BRANDON — It has been commonly held in most producer circles that soybeans are sensitive to seed-placed phosphorus, but that thinking might be wrong. Soil scientist Don Flaten told farmers attending Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon a couple of weeks ago that even when soil phosphorus levels are very low, placing phosphorus with soybeans has little effect on yields. Soybeans, like flax, are known nutrient scavengers. They use a lot of resources, but they want them in forms they find attractive at the time and will find ways to get them. Flaten said recent studies have shown that only when seed-row placed phosphorus reached 80 pounds to the acre, and on wider row spacings did the soybeans show diminished yields. “No matter what we put on, we saw no response. Wide row spacing, sandy soils and high rates in dry conditions, nothing,” he said. In fact the research showed that even soils that tested very low, below 10 parts per million using the Olsen phosphorus method, yields of up to 70 bushels were produced in Manitoba research. “If I was a 60-year-old farmer thinking of retirement, or on rented land that I wasn’t worried about, or a spoiled brat kid farming Mom and Dad’s (land) I might not put on any (phosphorus),” he said about growing soybeans. A good crop of soybeans will remove about 32 lb. of phosphorus from the soil. If the field is low in phosphorus to begin with, there is a risk that following crops such as cereals could be short of the nutrient. Most other prairie crops need to start out with a test of about 15 p.p.m. Olsen phosphorus to reach an average or better than average yield. The University of Manitoba researcher said many crops, besides soybeans, respond well to phosphorus applications in the year of application, up to recommended amounts. michael.raine@producer.com

Loeks built a concrete floor, but he left a pair of 60 centimetre earthen strips running the length of the unit. Water used for washing can drain away through the strips or water can be added to increase humidity. Water falling from the arches has not been an issue. Moisture does collect, but it runs along the inside curve rather than dripping.

GUELPH, Ont. — Zach Loeks stores vegetables year round with his award-winning, underground, cold storage facility. Through the winter, vegetables are held at just above freezing and with near-optimum humidity. By making a thousand ice blocks in the dead of winter, similar conditions are extended through the summer. “We have 2 to 4 C temperatures the year round,” he told the Guelph Organic Conference Jan. 29. Loeks, who with his partner Kylah Dobson, operate Rainbow Heritage Garden on 50 acres an hour west of Ottawa at Cobden, said farmers should consider the big picture before investing in cold storage. That includes developing a dependable market and growing unblemished produce harvested at peak maturity. “Carrots are the root cellar vegetable of choice. People eat them. They’re a staple for Canadians,” Loeks said. “A properly stored and grown winter carrot is far superior than to anything you buy in a regular grocery store.” The 20 by 30 foot facility is divided into bays with ventilation to optimize storage conditions. Loeks hired an excavator to dig a hole into a hillside next to his garden and consulted with the local building inspector as plans were made. Drainage with a flush-out system was installed and footings poured. The next step was to hire a crane to drop into place four concrete, pre-cast arches, the type of units that might be used individually for small stream crossings. They needed to be strong to hold the 2 1/2 metres of earth that was placed on top. Loeks said that even with a 75 percent discount, the arches cost $4,000 each. The back wall of the storage unit was built using reinforced cinder blocks placed under the rearmost arch. The front features plenty of insulation, a roof extension for shading and attractive cedar facing.

Advertorial

Why Inoculate or Dual Inoculate? • Effective nodulation is essential for nitrogen fixation, particularly in soils where soybeans have not been planted recently • Dual (or double) inoculation can help quickly establish high populations of rhizobia bacteria to ensure optimal nodulation and soybean performance

Control

Optimize Enhanced root growth.

Dual Inoculation Land that has been through less than ideal growing conditions, or has not had soybeans for a few years, requires special attention when it comes to inoculation. Dual inoculation can help quickly establish high populations of rhizobia bacteria to help ensure the best possible nodulation and soybean performance. Land with a history of longer soybean rotations, or land with a history of flooding or longer periods of drought, is not conducive to rhizobia survival. It is in these soils that farmers will benefit greatly from the application of two formulations of inoculant.

Dual inoculation combines seed-applied inoculants with a sequential in-furrow application of a granular or liquid inoculant to quickly establish high populations of rhizobia bacteria to ensure optimal nodulation and soybean performance. How to dual inoculate As the base treatment in dual inoculation, Optimize® ST, a new more concentrated formulation of Optimize, provides the benefits of a specially selected Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculant along with lipochitooligosaccharide (LCO) technology: • Improved nodule formation • Increased nitrogen fixation • Enhanced nutrient availability, which supports root and shoot growth • Broad seed treatment compatibility with 120-day on-seed stability

Root nodules and a dissected, pink nodule

Seed-applied inoculants tend to form nodules closer to where the seed is located (closer to the primary root); in-furrowapplied granular inoculants tend to form nodules on the secondary or lateral roots. Combining the two formulations allows for wider distribution of nodules along the whole root system.

LCO is a molecule involved in the rhizobia– legume nodulation system. LCO is an important component in nodulation as a key driver in the communication between plants and rhizobia. With Optimize ST, there is no lag time for plant development waiting for the LCO signal, as it is delivered on the seed. This gives the plant more time to grow (closing the communication gap between the plant and the rhizobia). Optimize ST is applied to soybean seed by retailers.

ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS. Cell-Tech®, JumpStart®, Monsanto BioAg and Design™ Optimize® and TagTeam® are registered trademarks of Monsanto Technology LLC, Monsanto Canada, Inc. licensee. © 2015 Monsanto Canada Inc.10.15 1697

For soybean growers with air drills and a granular applicator, TagTeam® granular is an ideal sequential product with Optimize ST. TagTeam for soybean combines the phosphate-solubilizing organism Penicillium bilaii and Bradyrhizobium japonicum in one inoculant to help address your soybean crop’s phosphate and nitrogen fertility needs. Penicillium bilaii provides crops access to soil and fertilizer phosphate. For growers without a granular applicator, or a planter with a liquid kit, Cell-Tech™ liquid applied in-furrow through a liquid applicator is a good option. Cell-Tech is a single-action inoculant that contains a specially selected Bradyrhizobium japonicum species. If phosphate is limited, JumpStart® inoculant, containing Penicillium bilaii, can be seed-applied along with Optimize ST by your retail, and Cell-Tech liquid or granular applied sequentially in-furrow. JumpStart increases phosphate availability for better use of phosphate and higher yield potential. Consult your local Monsanto BioAg representative or local retailer for further information on how to dual inoculate soybeans to ensure optimal nodulation and soybean performance.

nership agreements with the provincial conservation and water stewardship department Jan. 18. The agreements provide funding for organizations that participate in projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in specific sectors of the provincial economy. Funding is provided through Manitoba’s Climate Change Action Fund, which is administered by the conservation department. Other organizations that have recently joined the initiative include the Manitoba Trucking Association, The University of Winnipeg’s Prairie Climate Centre and Le Conseil de Development Economique du Manitoba. Details of funding commitments and individual grant amounts have not been made public, but the NFU said provincial funding will allow the group to carry out research for the next 12 months. The NFU’s Manitoba branch is in the process of hiring a lead researcher to lead the project and consult with other groups to assess the impact of current farming practices. The initiative will: • identify strategies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions • make recommendations aimed at adaptation and mitigation • provide direction for policy makers and provincial legislators • lead to the implementation of new farm management practices that benefit Manitoba farmers and the environment “The research we are about to undertake will provide a solid foundation for policy recommendations to support farmers’ role in making agriculture more climate friendly,” said NFU director Ian Robson. “We are in an excellent position to look at the big picture of climate and agriculture and help make agriculture policy that … supports a vibrant standard of living that is environmentally sustainable.” T h e Ma n i t o b a g ov e r n m e nt established the climate change action fund in 2001. It provides grants to projects that are aimed at expanding the scientific understanding of climate change impacts and developing new mitigation and adaptation practices. Robson said fossil fuel consumption is one of the main challenges facing Manitoba farmers. “We recognize that climate change challenges farmers to be more fuel efficient,” Robson said. “We also know that with the right tools and information, we can be part of the solution.” The fact that farm groups have been given an opportunity to craft their own responses to climate change should be viewed as a positive development for agriculture, he added. Dean Harder, a NFU regional director from Lowe Farm, Man., said details of the NFU’s project have yet to finalized. He said the project will likely start with a review of existing scientific literature that links agriculture to climate change. brian.cross@producer.com

SARM CONVENTION

Funding for roads a priority: RMs SARM calls on feds for ag program support BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities already had its financial wish list in front of the province before last week’s revelation that the government will run a deficit this year and next. But premier Brad Wall, speaking to urban municipalities, also said the province is committed to the revenue sharing formula of one percentage point of provincial sales tax revenue for all municipalities. Because that amount is based on data from two years prior, as reported in public accounts, municipalities will see at least $6 million more than the $265 million they got this fiscal year. Rural municipalities got about $75 million of that. SARM president Ray Orb said that is good news. “That makes us happy,” he said. “On the downside, next year it might go down.” Wall said the deficit for the current 2015-16 fiscal year would be modest. A third-quarter financial update is due soon. But he also said the only alternative to a deficit for 2016-17 is increased taxes. He described deficits as “against the DNA” of the Saskatchewan Party but said hiking taxes for people struggling against the economic downturn due to low oil prices is equally distasteful.

The government has already cut spending after the disastrous forest fires in the north and oil prices combined for a big hit on the budget. Heading soon into a formal campaign before the April 4 vote, Wall said a re-elected Saskatchewan Party government would balance the books for 2017-18. A budget is normally presented in March but is not expected before the election. Meanwhile, organizations like SARM have made their requests.

SARM WANTS FUNDING TO BE RESTORED TO

$25 million One of the big ones is restored funding for the Municipal Roads for the Economy Program. Funding had been $25 million per year. SARM wants that, and a two-year commitment. “They cut it back to $16 million and then they whittled another $1.2 million off that, so we hope we can get back to the $25 million again,” Orb said. MREP funds roads and bridges that face heavy traffic from industry such as energy and agriculture. “It’s going to be a tough budget, there’s no doubt about that, but at the same time we’re still hoping that the government commits to that because that’s pretty much all

the RMs get for infrastructure funding besides the gas tax fund,” Orb said. He said SARM is concerned if the government cuts the program much more then municipalities won’t use it. “They might just end up building roads on their own and we want them to be able to use programs like that,” he said. “Those roads are engineered and inspected, and very safe to drive on. They have to pass the eligibility (for MREP).” SARM also wants an increase in the Provincial Rat Eradication Program to $1.5 million and twoyear funding to encourage more participation by municipalities. Rat numbers are down and last year the province reached the lowest infestation rate ever, at 3.95 percent. More than 90 percent of RMs participate but Orb said extra money could mean full participation. SARM’s annual conference is set for March in Regina, which will be during the provincial campaign. Typically, the agenda includes speeches and a bearpit session with the cabinet, but because of the campaign that won’t happen this year. Orb said Wall and NDP leader Cam Broten have both been invited to deliver non-campaign speeches and organizers are trying to secure federal speakers, including agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay. karen.briere@producer.com

Rural leaders want Ottawa to increase Agri-Stability and Agri-Invest funding to its original contribution BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A federal budget is expected in March, and at least one Saskatchewan organization is heading to Ottawa before then to make its priorities known. The Saskatchewan Association o f Ru ra l Mu n i c i p a l i t i e s h a s released a list of priorities for rural areas and will meet with officials in Ottawa later this month. President Ray Orb said he didn’t think it would be too late for input to the federal budget. A key request is for the Agri-Stability trigger to be restored to 85 percent of a producer’s reference margin. It was cut to 70 percent for Growing Forward 2, and numerous farm organizations have now asked that it be restored. “It’s really going to be a tough one because I think some of the provinces asked for that reduction because they didn’t want to contribute the extra money,” Orb said, noting Saskatchewan was not one of those. “The federal government probably looked at that as a cost-saving measure as well. We want to make sure they get the message. If

they’re good programs, they should be left in place.” SARM also wants the Agri-Invest federal contribution rate to be returned to the original 1.5 percent of allowable net sales rather than one percent. Other priorities include better cellular coverage and broadband access. SARM wants Ottawa to ensure that any unused wireless spectrum is allocated to providers who are willing to service rural Saskatchewan. The organization wants a federal-provincial fund established for local fire departments to draw on to ensure they are paid and for direct negotiation between municipalities and First Nations to be allowed for emergency response agreements. “Everyone should be able to have fire coverage in the province,” Orb said. He also intends to raise the issue of stimulus funding for infrastructure. Rural municipalities have no indication yet that they will be included in the program. “We have some shovel-ready projects that were put on hold.” karen.briere@producer.com

Counsellor lends animal workers her ear Social worker provides support for veterinarians and livestock owners suffering stress, trauma and burnout BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

When Erin Wasson visited a Saskatchewan far m re cently, she jumped into the thick of things and helped push sheep through the chute for treatment. “Work needed to get done,” said Wasson, the Western College of Veterinary Medicine’s first social worker. She said a willingness to get her hands dirty is vital when building a rapport with producers. “In that kind of a circumstance, you kind of demonstrate with your action that you’re useful, you’re not uncomfortable with the herd that you’re dealing with and that you hav e s o m e b a s e a g r i c u l t u ra l knowledge that gives you an opening to then provide that additional support,” she said. “I think that if I hadn’t got in the chute, I don’t know that there would have been the same comfort in having a conversation with me.” Wasson is part of the Veterinary Social Work Initiative, a partnership between the veterinary college and the University of Regina’s faculty of social work. A first of its kind in Canada, the program provides social work support to the college’s clinical faculty, staff and students as well as animal owners. She provides one on one counseling and directs people to the appropriate resource. Wasson has been a registered social worker since 2009. Her previous experience was in crisis intervention, mental health and addictions, youth living high-risk lifestyles, young offenders, medical social work and people with disabilities. She helped develop the WCVM program in 2014 while completing her master of social work practicum requirements. The college hired her last year. A broad base of social work experience and a love of animals have made Wasson a good fit for the job. “Coming into the college, I found that really useful because I have to draw on a lot of different resources and different areas of knowledge in order to do my work here,” she said. The job can also include helping someone deal with the unexpected death of a pet, counseling an overworked clinician or helping make end-of-life decisions for animals. The clinic is divided between small and large animals, but Wasson said many of the issues she deals with overlap. “In the small animal program, I would say my work is primarily managing, say, an animal welfare concern and intervening appropri-

When you are in consistent contact with individuals who are distressed and when you are consistently in contact with animals that are distressed, there’s a certain amount of moral distress that’s going to happen for you and vicarious traumatization that’s going to happen for you.

ately there, or providing support around grief and loss,” she said. “The literature will tell you that people’s relationship with small animals is parallel to that of a horse. I would say that it’s a little different. I would say that a horse operates more as a partner, so I think the loss of an equine partner is tremendously difficult.” Wasson also visits livestock operations with the college’s veterinarians. “It’s helpful having me along so they can focus on their veterinarian work, and I can focus on the biopsychosocial stuff that’s going on within the family,” she said.

One such incident involved a disease investigation and herd loss, where Wasson provided support for the farmers. “I’m not doing a counseling session out on the farm,” she said. “Typically what I’m doing is pretty tangible problem solving: solution oriented, solution focused support.” Conversations with producers can range from the shift in commodity markets to the impact of feed prices caused by drought. “That’s when you see increases in farm stress and experiences by farmers that are really challenging.” Wasson said it helps that she

doesn’t come from the community she visits because privacy is a priority for many producers. “When you look at the research around what type of support people want, when they’re managing farm stress, usually what they’re looking for is somebody who isn’t necessarily from their home community,” she said. It’s also important that she understand agriculture. “Somebody whose knowledgeable about agriculture, somebody who knows what they mean when they say, ‘I’m worried because I only got one cut of hay.’ ” The loss of livestock is a business

matter, but Wasson said there is also a mental and emotional price tag. “So when there’s a mass loss, yes there’s insurance and yes there’s financial ramifications for that, but there’s also physical and mental toll that comes from those losses,” she said. “Largely rural communities have looked after their own and largely there has been a lot of suffering in silence. That’s been the traditional way to manage these types of issues. It gets swept under the rug until there’s a tragedy, until farm stress leads to suicide or dissolving of a marriage or big ruptures in a family relationship.” The reverberations can have a lasting impact on succession. “If kids are leaving the farm, then what do you do? Who is going to take over the farm?” she said. However, attitudes have been changing. “Farm stress as a tag line or a concept is not new anymore. It’s considered an occupational hazard for individuals working in these industries,” she said. “One of the things that we know, based on the one-health concept is that if a human is doing well, then their animals are likely to do well and that the environment that they are all living in is likely to also be positively impacted. Much the same way that environment, animal and human beings are impacted by disease, so are they impacted by wellness.” Wasson said the stress and burnout that veterinarians experience, particularly rural practitioners, is often overlooked. “When you are in consistent contact with individuals who are distressed and when you are consistently in contact with animals that are distressed, there’s a certain amount of moral distress that’s going to happen for you and vicarious traumatization that’s going to happen for you,” she said. “At a certain point, we will have a conversation about empathy fatigue and about looking after themselves because the veterinarian rate of suicide is too high.” A 2005 study in England and Wales suggests that veterinarians experience the highest suicide rate: four times the national rate and twice as high as physicians and dentists. However, Wasson said things are improving. “There has been a shift in the last year, I would say, within the veterinary community to really embrace wellness and to really look at the factors that increase distress in veterinarians.” william.dekay@producer.com

CATTLE SHOW

Young Alta. producer wins at big U.S. show Seventeen-year-old Tyson Pashulka shows family’s winning Maine Anjou bull at National Western Stock Show in Denver BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A respectable win at the National Western Stock Show has given one Alberta teen a taste for the big time. Tyson Pashulka’s Maine Anjou bull was named reserve junior champion, a first for Canadian entrants. Named Mr Rusylvia Bennilli 6B and shown by the Rusylvia Cattle Co. of Derwent, Alta., the 2014 bull has been winning throughout his show career, said Josie Pashulka. She and her husband Ken and their three boys, Tyson, 17, Riley, 15 and Taylor, 14 own Rusylvia Cattle and are active on the show circuit. After this win they are planning to take a larger string to Denver next year. The tr ip was 2,120 kilometres one way but they figured the promotional opportunities are worth it. The boys start early. When they joined 4-H at age nine they were allowed to select a heifer from the family herd of 400 cows. Tyson’s selection went on to become this

bull’s dam. “The mother of the bull was shown and champion all throughout 4-H and other places like (Edmonton’s) Farmfair and (Regina’s Canadian Western) Agribition. He has kept all the offspring,” Josie said. Tyson showed this bull in the supreme champion shows at the 2015 Farmfair International and Agribition. It was also selected as the Rancher’s Choice bull at the Camrose, Alta., Bull Congress. The family has retained full ownership in the bull. “We have had lots of offers on him. There is not a big genetic pool here in Canada and we wouldn’t be able to replace this bull,” Josie said “The look of him is exactly what we are looking for in the Maines.” Semen is for sale and a package is going to Australia. All three boys attend major shows as groomers and show steers and heifers in jackpot shows. Last year they entered 14 shows. “That is their weekend entertainment,” Josie said.

IDENTIFICATION

Tag loss study shows higher rate in cows BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Ear tag loss is a problem for cattle producers, and complaints about retention are common. National traceability requirements demand that lost radio frequency identification tags be replaced on the animal, and producers can be fined if cattle arrive for sale without one. The issue led the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency to study tag loss. Results of the mature cow portion of the project are now being tabulated, but early data shows a low of 65 percent retention and a high of 100 percent among the 13 herds in the study. It works out to an average cow tag retention of 89.7 percent, which is lower than retention found in yearlings. “It’s not a surprise that the mature cow retention is lower than the calf yearling retention,” said Ross MacDonald, the CCIA’s tag retention project manager. “In general, people accept the fact that tags in young animals are retained fairly well unless there’s some sort of outlying incident or management that’s creating a loss.” Keeping cattle in bushy areas or extensive use of bale feeders or stanchions is likely to affect loss rates. “The vast majority of tag loss appears to be related to the back of the tag starting to break down or something along those lines,” he said. Data was collected from herds in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Seven types of RFID button tags

were tested, varying by manufacturer and design. They were bought at a variety of tag retailers to ensure similarity to those commonly used by producers. As well, the tags were applied using each manufacturer’s directions and applicators. CCIA vice-chair Mark Elford said the tags were then tested for readability and longevity over a threeyear period. “We did as fair a trial as we could. The end goal is to make sure we end up with a better tag.” Gathering reliable data will allow the CCIA to recommend certain types of tags for best retention. “That’s been part of the reason behind trying to ensure that we have statistically valid and repeatable results,” said MacDonald. “If there is a discrepancy in one or two tag types from the others, then we’ll have really solid data behind it. Then it will be up to the steering committee within CCIA to decide what they’re going to do with that information.” Elford said producers find they have to replace a lot of tags when selling cull cows, which involves expense and time. The potential for fines is also an irritant. “We shouldn’t have people getting fined because what we’ve got isn’t 100 percent reliable,” said Elford. MacDonald said the trial provides information to bolster what previously were only anecdotal complaints about lost tags. He is now crunching the numbers for a final report, which he plans to submit to the CCIA steering committee in March. The final report is expected to be posted online at www.canadaid.ca.

NATIONAL CATTLEMEN’S BEEF ASSOCIATION

U.S. beef sector will pay for ‘lame duck Congress’ The U.S. election could delay ratification of the TPP, which would lower export tariffs BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — American beef producers’ biggest obstacles to gaining global market power could be the mighty Australian beef exporting machine and the failure of the U.S. Congress to ratify a major trade deal. The Trans-Pacific Partnership must receive congressional assent, but that could stall in an election year. The politicians who remain after the November election may not choose to deal with the TPP as promptly as the agriculture industry might like. “Not a lot happens during a lame duck Congress,” Kent Bacus of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association said during the association’s Jan. 26-29 convention in San Diego. “We can’t afford to wait until 2017.” Exporting industries such as the beef sector want a deal that could substantially lower tariffs. The United States ships $1.6 billion worth of beef to Japan a year, but the tariff rate is 38.5 percent. “We have an opportunity to

engage in the Trans-Pacific Partnership and take that tariff to nine percent,” he said. “ That is the greatest market access ever negotiated into that market. That is a huge victory.” The NCBA has launched a website at www.tppnow.com to encourage legislators to ratify the deal. The Australians have a strong presence in Asia, which they have developed largely since the discov-

delivered to their homes. “This whole e-commerce area is already an $108 billion market, and it is expected to increase by 50 percent in five years,” said Hanes. West Africa is also presenting a new market possibility. The export federation has been working in the region for the last two years to explore whether countries such as Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Gabon and Angola might make the switch from poultry to beef. “At some point Africa is going to become a factor, maybe not for U.S. beef, but it will impact U.S. beef,” Hanes said. “Somebody is going to supply there eventually.” Africans would probably get most of their beef from India, but there may be other opportunities for commodities such as liver. Beef liver was sold to Russia four years ago for 70 cents a pound. When Russia closed its markets to western food, the product went to Egypt for 50 cents a lb. but is now selling for around 30 cents a lb. “It is obvious the industry needs help on something as simple as livers,” Halstrom said. “This region is an option. Angola is buying beef livers today. You have to pick the right countries with the ability to pay for it.”

ery of BSE blocked the U.S. from exporting in 2003. Australia stepped up exports and signed a favourable bilateral trade agreement with Japan that gave it a 10 percent tariff advantage. The strengthening U.S. dollar also makes its beef more expensive than what the competition is offering. More than $100 million in potential sales have been lost to Australia, said Bacus.

About 280 bilateral agreements have been completed around the world, and the U.S. is involved in only 20 of them, said Phil Seng of the U.S. Meat Export Federation. “It is not a level playing field in Asia right now,” he said. The taste for beef is growing in Asia, and the U.S. sees it as a region of opportunity. “We are still getting about $280 per head extra value from this export premium,” Greg Hanes of the federation said at a meeting of the NCBA’s export committee. However, it is hard to displace the True Aussie Beef campaign that promotes clean, safe product for an aging population concerned about nutrition. South Korea is another important, high value market in which Australia dominates, said Dan Halstrom of the meat export federation. “The retail area is the place where we are looking to displace the Aussies,” he said. “Retail totally shifted to Aussie after BSE.” They are strong in large retail chains, including Costco. Supplying beef through convenience stores is also gaining popularity. These stores have turned into popular spots to buy fresh boxed lunches. The growing e-commerce trend is another possibility.

ANTIBIOTICS

Producers and consumers need info on antimicrobial use ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

he use of antibiotics in livestock and the danger of antibiotic resistance are hot topics, and there is a lot of misinformation, especially with urban residents. We need to provide them with correct information and set the record straight on how the industry is addressing the issue. Good brochures and websites are available that give factual and current information on the subject. Some in the food industry are promoting meat from livestock “raised without antibiotics.” There are two responses to this: • In some cases, antibiotics are needed from an animal welfare perspective. • We have established legal withdrawal periods to ensure that no antibiotics, vaccines or other drugs such as NSAIDs get into our meat and milk. The best brochure on this topic that I have seen is, Worried about Antibiotic Use and Resistance in Cattle? which is published by Alberta Beef Producers. It explains the four main categories of antimicrobials: • Category one drugs have very high importance in human medicine. They are drugs of last resort. In livestock, the brands include Excede and Baytril. • Category two antibiotics have high importance in human health, but there are alternatives. • Category three drugs are not often used in treating humans and effective alternatives are available. • Category four antibiotics are not used in humans. Categories one and two make up less than one to two percent of the antimicrobials used in cattle production. Category one drugs should be used only for treatment of severe medical conditions such as a bad pneumonia. Veterinarians advise using the lowest category that will likely work on the condition at hand. I think we’ll see vets ordering more autopsies when animals don’t respond to drugs that previously worked. The lab will grow the bacteria causing the illness and use little discs impregnated with antibiotics to see which ones work.

It is our privilege and not our right to be able to use antibiotics in the animals we take care of. CRAIG DORIN VETERINARIAN

This gives us a much better scientific approach to treatment and should provide a higher success rate. The drawback is that this takes a couple days to do. In the meantime, we need to treat the disease and will usually rely on protocols and success rates. The possibility of resistant bacteria passing from cattle to humans is remote. Remember, category one drugs are rarely used in livestock. Also, resistant bacteria would need to get through the packing plant and all the precautions they use such as steam sterilization, ultraviolet light and a clean environment. The resistant bacterial would then need to get into a person and then have the antibiotic prescribed by the doctor not work. This is an unlikely chain of events. Industry paying attention A research cluster, which is led by Tim McAllister of Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lethbridge and also includes researchers from the cattle industry and veterinary colleges, is looking at all these potential pathways to make sure all possibilities have been considered. This alone is positive evidence that the industry is doing its due diligence to protect livestock production and people. Veterinarian Craig Dorin of Airdrie, Alta., has a great quote on the subject: “It is our privilege and not our right to be able to use antibiotics in the animals we take care of.” The surveillance we do in the industry shows drug resistance levels are low in beef. If resistance is found, the bacteria are likely resistant to most antibiotics in the same family of drugs, so veterinarians will prescribe a different family of antibiotics. This year, your veterinarian will be much more involved with antimicrobials used in livestock medicine, especially those that were generally non-prescription but administered in the feed or water. More than 75 percent of the drugs are used in feed, so enhanced oversight at this level is where producers will see the most changes. These are steps that will help reduce antibiotic use where possible and ensure the most effective ones are used for the condition at hand. As well, growth promotant indications are coming off antibiotic labelling this year. It might be true that reduced disease incidence helps increase growth as a secondary benefit, but your veterinarian will need a medical reason to prescribe.

MANAGEMENT

Retaining good workers goes beyond pay Fun, engaging work environment important for retaining the best employees on the farm BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Attracting farm help is one problem, but keeping and managing workers can also be a challenge, farmers learned during a panel discussion at FarmTech. Panelist Kevin Serfas said his 56,000 acre farm and 6,000 head feedlot operation can no longer operate with just family members. However, it has taken time to allow strangers, some without much experience, to help out, especially during the busy spring and harvest seasons. “Everyone knows how expensive farm machinery is. It’s a huge thought process to change and allow someone to run expensive machinery,” said Serfas, who farms near Turin, Alta. “It takes discipline not to lose your mind when everything doesn’t go as planned.” He said it takes creativity to keep and recruit good staff. Serfas also said workers for nearby companies who grew up on a farm can often come at short notice to help out. Workers will be more inclined to stay if the work is interesting and they get the opportunity to try a variety of farm work, including driving the swather or combine.

“You’ve got to make your farm a fun place to work.” Serfas said farmers shouldn’t be afraid to help workers upgrade their skills because it will also benefit the farm. Making the farm fun is as important as paying a good salary, he added. On his farm, the entire crew spends the day before harvest at the lake. “It really isn’t about money. If it was, no one would be working for us,” he said. “Make your farm somewhere people want to come.” The farm also supplies a 5,000 sq. foot bunkhouse with six rooms, 16 beds and a laundry facility. “You have to make them reasonably comfortable.” Workers Compensation Board coverage and a benefit package are added benefits. Some of the full-time staff were recently switched from an hourly wage to a salary to smooth out the financial ups and downs and allow staff to take holidays stress free. “They really do appreciate it. It gives them more sense of security financially.” Rod Bradshaw of Beck Farms near Innisfail, Alta., said his enthusiasm has sometimes raced ahead of his ability to find and keep good help, especially in the gardens. The family responded to low bar-

ley prices in the 1980s by growing carrots on some of their land. They built a carrot processing plant the following year and started looking for workers. Students were hired to wash, grade and pack carrots, but that solution lasted only until the children went back to school at the end of August. “We put ads in the paper, and ended up getting a lot of housewives looking for part-time jobs.” Despite the regular hours, with scheduled lunch and coffee breaks, the drive from town appeared to be a barrier too difficult to overcome for some workers. Carrots were the first the lesson but weren’t the last. Innisfail Growers, a group of five family farms, later had the opportunity to grow 60,000 cabbages that would need to be hoed by hand. “We learned soon we couldn’t do outdoor crops,” said Bradshaw, who is part of the group that supplies fresh produce to 20 farmers markets and has 10 year-round positions and 54 part time workers. “We could hire them for inside a building, but not in the field.” Bradshaw said he now hires seasonal workers from Mexico, who are willing to spend the summer in the fields hoeing weeds and doing work that Canadians don’t like. “They show up every day. They

are skilled. They are educated in what we need,” he said. “We provide housing, treat them very well and offer a standard rate of pay. We pay them more because we know their value.” Bradshaw said they have also developed training and policy manuals so that every worker knows what is expected. Margot Ross Graham, owner of Sandbar Coaching and Communication, said attracting and keeping farm workers means keeping them engaged because engaged workers have a connection to the farm. “If you can create an experience, you will keep your people. Capture the heart and soul of your employee so they want to come back and work for you,” she said. Engaged employees also recruit their friends to come work in a fun and creative environment. Ross Graham said farmers may not be able to compete with other industries on money, but they can provide flexible hours, bonuses, a condensed work week and send employees to workshops. Farmers need to use that flexibility as part of the recruitment tool, she said. Wooing a worker is no different than dating. “Date this person. Tell them how great things will be,” she said. mary.macarthur@producer.com

ADM reviewing ethanol business (Reuters) — Archer Daniels Midland is conducting a strategic review of its dry mill ethanol plants looking for partnerships or sale of assets. ADM, the largest U.S. ethanol producer, wants to shift its focus to developing new food ingredients as domestic demand for ethanol is forecast to remain flat over the next decade. Dry plants produce only ethanol and dried distillers grain whereas ADM’s five wet mills can produce several products, including higher margin corn syrup.

Asset protection: reorganization Former Sask Pool CEO dies can reduce risk to farm, family BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

he structure of your farming business could be exposing you to unnecessary risk. Here are some suggestions to help limit asset exposure and protect yourself against claims for debt, damages, accidents or injury. Being proactive is key because steps taken to protect your assets must be done before concerns develop with creditors. There are three ways to organize a farming operation: a proprietorship, a partnership and a corporation. Each has a different level of creditor risk and its own protection strategies.

Avoid signing personal guarantees when possible The corporate structure can be changed to protect these assets. A second company can be incorporated to hold assets separately from farming operation and thus provide protection from creditors of the farm. A lawsuit from an injured employee is one example of how this type of arrangement can help protect a farm and its personal assets. The assets would be safely held in

the holding company, and the claimant would be able to seek damages only from the operating company that carried on the business. This reduces the assets at risk to only those held in the operating company. Professional advice is critical to implementing this type of reorganization without tax consequences. Contact a professional to make sure your plan is right for you. Riley Honess and Lauren Gallimore of KPMG contributed to this article.

Former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool chief executive officer Ira Mumford has died at age 96. Mumford, who grew up near Mortlach, Sask., worked his way from the bottom to the top of the grain company, beginning in 1938 until his retirement in 1981. His employment was interrupted by his five-year service in the Second World War. He served on many boards during his career, including president of both the Regina branch and provincial boards of the Agricultural Institute of Canada and the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists. He was a member of the Western Grain Elevators Asso-

Proprietorship As a proprietor, you are completely exposed to creditors. All of your property, including personal and business assets, are up for grabs by creditors and there is only limited protection under bankruptcy law.Â Some protection may be available by having your spouse own some assets, such as the family home. The spouse must not be otherwise liable for any farm debts. Partnership A partnership also has the potential for liability risk.Â Indeed, not only are you liable for your own debts, but in most cases a creditor can pursue any partner for all of the partnership debt rather than just their share.Â You may want to consider incorporating your partnership interest to help protect your personally owned assets from creditors. Corporation Shareholders in a corporation have limited liability.Â This means a creditor of the corporation should be able to only look to the assets of the corporation to satisfy corporate debts. However, your assets may not be as well protected as you think. If you gave personal guarantees to any creditor, such as a bank, fertilizer dealer or machinery finance company, you have exposed your personal property to the creditors on top of the corporate assets. It is best to avoid signing personal guarantees if possible. An alternative would be to provide only limited guarantees instead of the unlimited ones that are often requested.Â Methods of organizing corporate affairs are available to protect a farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets. A farm corporation often has active businesses, assets and accumulated earnings, which are not protected from corporate creditor or litigation claims.Â
