Dockage rules may threaten canola exports BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The biggest market for Canadian canola will be shut down if China follows through on plans to implement new allowable dockage limits starting April 1, says the president of the Canola Council of Canada. China’s quarantine agenc y, AQSIQ, notified the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Feb. 22 that canola exports from Canada would have to contain less than one percent dockage beginning April 1. That is a dramatic shift from the existing trade rules allowing a maximum of 2.5 percent dockage for commercially clean grain. “It would be virtually impossible to meet those kinds of specifications consistently,” said Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada. “Number one, I’m not sure it’s physically possible. Number two, it would slow down the system so much it would make things extremely expensive.” Derek Squair, president of AgriTrend Marketing, has a different

TRANSPORTATION

Report tabled in Parliament contains recommendations to improve western rail service BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Eventual elimination of the railway revenue cap is one of the recommendations in a much-anticipated review of the Canadian Transportation Act. However, it remains to be seen whether Ottawa will act on any of the 286-page Emerson Report’s

key recommendations. It was tabled in Parliament Feb. 25. The report contains several recommendations aimed at improving rail service for the western Canadian grain sector. Most notably, it suggests that the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE), also known as the railway revenue cap, should be modern-

ized immediately and eliminated within seven years in an effort to ensure a more “commercially grounded” railway transportation system. The report, entitled Pathways: Connecting Canada’s Transportation System to the World, is the product of an 18-month review of the Canada Transportation Ac t l e d by f o r m e r M P D av i d

CANOLA MEAL VS. SOYBEAN MEAL

New canola could open up feed market Trials show the ProPound trait developed by Dow produces a high protein, high fibre meal that could replace soybeans BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Feed trials have confirmed that a new canola trait developed by Dow AgroSciences results in a meal that can be substituted for soybean meal in hog and poultry diets. “This really gives us a way to reposition canola,” said Dave Dzisiak, commercial leader of grains and oils with Dow. “It really opens a brand new huge market for canola that wasn’t very accessible to us before.” The ProPround trait, which was 15 years in development, produces a meal that is closer in quality to soybean meal than canola meal. Dow’s high oleic canola oil made from its Nexera varieties will soon be facing stiff competition from high oleic soybeans. Dzisiak said having a meal that’s comparable to soybeans will help the company maintain production premiums for growing Nexera varieties. The knock on canola meal has been that it is low in protein and high in fibre. It is suitable for dairy cow rations, where it is fed to two out of every three U.S. dairy cows, but it is a poor fit in hog and poultry rations. Canola meal is used in some swine rations but only at a five percent inclusion rate. ProPound meal has 44 percent protein content compared to 37 percent in commodity canola meal and 46 percent in soybean meal. “We were also able to signifi-

cantly reduce some particular fibre fractions within the seed,” said Dzisiak. There has been a 35 percent reduction in one particular fibre family. The result is a canola meal that has 20 percent more protein and 10 percent more energy than regular canola meal, according to Dow. ProPound was tested in feed trials by Hans Stein and Carl Parsons, two leading animal nutrition researchers at the University of Illinois.

(They) were able to show that ProPound could replace all of the soybean meal in a swine ration without any impact on animal performance. DAVE DZISIAK DOW AGROSCIENCES

“(They) were able to show that ProPound could replace all of the soybean meal in a swine ration without any impact on animal performance,” said Dzisiak. As well, it could do so at a cost of $3 to $5 per tonne lower than soybean meal. “You can have a material improvement in the profitability of a swine producer,” he said. Florian Possberg, chair of the

Saskatchewan Pork Development Board and president of Polar Pork Farms, said ProPound could be a “big deal” for the hog sector. Polar Pork Farms uses canola meal in its finishing and dry sow rations because it is two-thirds the price of soybean meal. It can be fed to older animals, but there is not enough protein in the meal for younger hogs. “We would love to have a product that we could use in all our rations, including nursery and lactation rations,” he said. Possberg believes the product could save swine farmers as much as $20 per tonne in baby pig rations and $5 per tonne in lactation rations. “That would be a real advantage.” There would be significant transportation savings because there are so many crushers located in Saskatchewan instead of trucking soybeans in from the United States. It would also be far more convenient to work with one protein ingredient and kick soybeans completely out of the rations. “Unless this new canola meal is priced way up there, it would really work for us,” said Possberg. Dzisiak said the price has yet to be determined but it would be an uphill battle to displace soybean meal in animal rations without a compelling value proposition for hog and poultry producers. “You can’t go in and say, ‘here’s canola meal at the same price as

DAVE DZISIAK DOW AGROSCIENCES

soy.’ We needed to have a real incentive in there.” Chickens are more sensitive to canola meal. The University of Illinois researchers found they could use ProPound at up to a 24 percent inclusion rate without any effect on bird performance. The cost savings were similar to those in the hog trials. Dow also conducted feeding trials on turkeys that were led by Sally Noll of the University of Minnesota. She found ProPound could displace all of the soybean meal in turkey rations. “That might be where we have some of the best value,” said Dzisiak. It’s because soybean meal causes gastrointestinal issues in turkeys if there is too much of it in a ration, so turkey farmers have to incorporate other higher-cost protein ingredients in their rations. ProPound could displace those higher-cost protein ingredients. Dow has been in some early out-

reach discussions with end use customers who are excited by the prospect of the first significant new protein ingredient since distillers grain hit the market. The company is working with an undisclosed Canadian crusher that will be producing large samples of ProPound meal to be tested by customers this fall. Dow has introduced the trait into one of its Nexera lines and will be contracting more than 100,000 acres with growers this fall. It has been fully approved by regulators. It will expand into commercial scale production next year. The trait will be included in both Roundup Ready and Clearfield lines of its latest Nexera hybrids. The goal is to eventually include the trait in all Nexera varieties. Dzisiak said the canola industry needs a new market for its meal because the product is reaching the saturation point with the dairy industry. The Canola Council of Canada has set a target of 25 million tonnes of canola production by 2025, which represents a 50 percent growth over current production. Canada’s crush capacity has doubled over the last five years, and Dzisiak expects it to grow another 25 to 50 percent. That means crushers will have to find a home for a lot more meal, and ProPound will help them do that, he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 • a review of the methods currently used to calculate railway interswitching rates • steps that would allow extraordinary interswitching provisions introduced under Bill C-30 to lapse, returning mandatory interswitching distances to 30 from 160 km. Many grain industry groups were still assessing the contents of the report earlier this week to determine its potential impact on farmers and grain shippers. Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers of Association of Saskatchewan, said he was optimistic that Ottawa will consult with grain industry stakeholders and listen to the concerns of grain shippers before implementing any of the report’s recommendations. He said APAS and other grower groups will continue to push for a full costing review of grain transportation services and will encourage Ottawa to retain the revenue cap. Hall said he is pleased that the report recognizes the rights of producer car shippers but acknowledged that the report delivered less than what he had been hoping for. “I don’t know if I was expecting more, but I was sure hoping for more,” he said. Caalen Covey, business development and markets manager with the Alberta Wheat Commission, said at first glance, the report’s position on interswitching and elimination of revenue cap provisions is concerning. “I think the general feeling right now is that yes, the grain industry is a little bit dissatisfied with the initial findings of the report,” Covey said. “We were definitely looking for something with a little bit more teeth in it, another tool in the tool box you might say.” Covey said grain shippers have been pushing for regulatory changes that would facilitate the use of reciprocal monetary penalties that could be levied against shippers or railway carriers in the event that either party should fail to meet the terms of a service contract. Covey said there was no mention of monetary penalties in the report. “Some of (what’s contained in the report) is encouraging, but the removal of the MRE and reciprocal penalties not being included … is somewhat disappointing,” he said. Manitoba’s Keystone Agricultural Producers said in a news release it was surprised by the proposed elimination of the revenue cap and a return to a less robust interswitching regime with reduced obligations for railways. “I was quite surprised that the report said we should just sunset (the MRE) in seven years,” Mazier said. “I thought everyone made it pretty clear that … (the MRE) was working, especially in the crop logistics working group … so I don’t know how the review panel came up with the recommendation to sunset it.” Canadian National Railway, said it welcomed the report and the federal government’s plan to consult widely about its recommendations. Canadian Pacific Railway offered no comment. brian.cross@producer.com FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE10

SEED CROPS

New crop varieties announced Prairie Grain Development Committee approves more than 50 new varieties for registration BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canada’s most promising new seed products went under the microscope last week as industry experts gathered in Saskatoon to determine which crop lines should be registered, multiplied and eventually made available to the country’s grain farmers. More than 50 new crop lines were supported for commercial registration at the Prairie Grain Development Committee meeting in Saskatoon Feb. 22-25. Lines that received support from individual recommending committees included 27 new wheat cultivars, four new oat lines, two barley lines, six bean lines, four lentils, four peas, four flax and one canarygrass line. New crop lines that are recommended for registration by the PGDC are usually registered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s variety registration office within the next 12 months. Then they are named, multiplied and distributed to farmers through established commercial

channels in anticipation of widespread production by prairie growers. PGDC chair Tom Fetch called the meeting a success and said attendance at the event was above average. “I think the reason why the meetings are so successful is that you’ve got all the expertise there,” Fetch said. “You’ve got … the scientists, the plant breeders, the industry folks, the seed growers and even some of the (farmers) there as well.” The PGDC meetings are one of the key elements in a detailed peer evaluation process that has been in place for decades. It ensures that all new crop lines that are commercialized in Canada offer an acceptable level of performance in terms of yield potential, disease resistance, agronomic performance and end-use quality. Wheat experts attending this year’s meetings supported more than two dozen new wheat lines, including a handful of new cultivars that will be directed at Canada’s newest wheat class, Canadian Northern Hard Red.

John Peterson, assistant vicepresident of wheat merchandising with Richardson International, told the meeting that Canada’s new wheat class will present both opportunities and challenges for wheat producers and grain export companies. “As we look down the road and we start to see new wheat varieties being put into that class, I guess the question that will be answered in time, is that when you start to pull that class and you create a vessel composite of that class, exactly what are you getting in there?” Peterson said. “You may be getting some high protein, you may be getting some low protein and … and you may end up with a wheat composite that has a number of varieties in it. So the big question is, how is that basket of varieties going to perform? Peterson, who spoke to PGDC delegates during a Feb. 24 plenary session on grain marketing, said buyers who are familiar with CNHR varieties such as Faller and Prosper may have few reservations about buying a shipment CNHR wheat.

However, the task of marketing the grain is likely to be more difficult if a vessel filled with CNHR contains a mixture of established American and Canadian varieties as well as newly commercialized varieties. “If you’ve got just Faller and Prosper in basket, I think there’s some understanding as to how that basket is going to perform,” Peterson said. “But if you’ve got Faller, Prosper, Lillian, Harvest, Unity and who knows what else in there, then how does that mixture perform? The Prairie Grain Development Committee meetings are held annually to ensure that new cereal grain, pulse, oilseed and specialty crop varieties are as good or better than existing varieties already on the market. The PGDC and its sub-committees take an in-depth look at “candidate lines” to determine if they are a suitable fit for western Canadian growing conditions and if they will meet the expectations of end-users who buy and process Canadian crops. brian.cross@producer.com

GROWING FORWARD 3

CFA wants risk management programs reinstated Federal agriculture minister says a new multi-year agriculture policy framework is a priority for the Liberal government BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — The Canadian Federation of Agriculture wants the cuts that were made to business risk management programs under Growing Forward 2 reversed in the next five-year agreement. The board last week approved recommendations from a working group that spent the last year examining what the next agricultural policy framework should look like. Grow ing For ward 2 expires March 31, 2018. CFA president Ron Bonnett said talks are not yet at the ministerial level, but agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay knows farmers want to be consulted as GF3 is developed. MacAulay told the meeting a new agreement is among his priorities. “We will shape a new multi-year agricultural policy framework for Canada,” he said.

The whole concept of five-year agreements, I think that’s gained fairly widespread acceptance, and the fact it’s a heck of a lot better than having 10,000 farmers with tractors on the Hill every time there’s a crisis. RON BONNETT CFA PRESIDENT

“We will develop this framework in close consultation with provinces and stakeholders, including the CFA.” Bonnett said he expects the framework will be tweaked to include market development and climate change initiatives, given MacAulay’s mandate letter from prime minister Justin Trudeau. He

said everyone appreciates the predictability that the programs provide, whether they use them or not. Program use is down after a period of strong commodity prices. “The whole concept of five-year agreements, I think that’s gained fairly widespread acceptance, and the fact it’s a heck of a lot better than having 10,000 farmers with tractors on the Hill every time there’s a crisis,” Bonnett said. Jason Bent of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture chaired the working group’s business risk management committee. Declining participation in AgriStability has been a concern for some time. “Diversified farms are not well served by this whole farm program,” he said. “Although government officials are quick to point out program data are not available yet to conduct the analysis, the fact is CFA members know cuts to GF2 have undermined the effectiveness of AgriSta-

bility and AgriInvest. Many farmers have lost faith in the programs and don’t feel they adequately respond to income volatility.” The committee refreshed its business risk management policy to request programs that encourage beginning farmer participation, support diversified operations, minimize complexity and deal with longer-term income declines. “We are calling for the removal of the reference margin limitation calculation that’s implemented under GF2 and restoring the payment trigger to 85 percent instead of 70 percent,” Bent said. Participation fees for beginning farmers should be waived, he said. CFA wants the 1.5 percent of allowable net sales contribution level to AgriInvest restored and the annual contribution limit set at $100,000. There should be a kick start for new accounts and a focus on proactive investment.

More than 40 percent of BRM funding goes to AgriInsurance, and Bent said recommendations include developing multi-year coverage for times when more than one cropping year is lost because of flooding, for example, and premium credits for beginning farmers. He said farmers have had different experiences across the country with AgriRecovery, and the CFA is asking for clearer assessment rules, consistent implementation and multi-year cost recovery. The CFA also recommended higher lending limits for the Advance Payment Program and the Commodity Agricultural Loans Act. Bent said there is a role for private sector risk management tools, but they should be complementary to, rather than a substitute for, government programs. karen.briere@producer.com

CANOLA EXPORTS THREATENED » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 take on the situation. He doesn’t believe exports to China would be reduced. “The grain companies clean to zero and then add dockage back in typically, so they can regulate it very closely,” he said. If canola is trading at $460 per tonne and dockage is reduced by one percent, traders will just add $4.60 per tonne to the price to make up for the lost dockage. “Really, we’re not talking about big dollars or big numbers or big inconvenience,” said Squair. “I’ve worked in the elevator system for 25 years and know it’s not a big deal to clean canola to two percent or to one percent. It’s not hard.” Miller said China’s lingering concerns about blackleg disease are

behind the threat to drastically reduce the allowable dockage limit. Canada has been working with China on blackleg research projects since the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding in 2010. The research projects were in response to Chinese blackleg restr ictions in late 2009 that reduced Canadian exports to China by half the following year: 1.5 million tonnes in 2010 from 3.1 million tonnes in 2009. The last research project was to explore the risk of blackleg being transmitted to China’s rapeseed fields through contaminated dockage on Canadian imports. “We don’t believe that there is any significant risk of blackleg transmission at current commercial terms of trade,” said Miller.

Chinese officials disagree with the research results. They believe lower dockage levels would reduce the risk of transmission. Chris Beckman, an oilseeds analyst with Agriculture Canada, said the Canadian canola industry would be affected significantly if China closed its doors to Canadian exports. China imported 3.97 million tonnes of Canadian canola in 2015, which is almost double the 2.04 million tonnes bought by Japan, the second largest canola customer. “Exports to China probably will go down. I’ve seen some indication from the trade that they might be sending some oil instead,” he said. Beckman said seed could also be diverted to other markets, such as the United Arab Emirates or Pakistan. Squair said people in the trade

believe China is using the dockage issue as a non-tariff trade barrier because the Chinese government is sitting on a massive stockpile of rapeseed oil it wants to sell before it goes rancid. “The Chinese are throwing up red flags to maybe throw cold water on the market a little bit,” he said. Miller isn’t in that camp. “It’s speculation. Right now what I’m attributing the motivation of China to is a difference on science,” she said. “We believe at this point it’s a dispute over the research results and what that means to risk management.” Richardson International was approached to provide a Canadian crusher perspective on the issue but declined to comment while there are ongoing discussions

between the Canadian and Chinese governments. Grower groups were also contacted but their representatives were on their way to the council’s annual convention in San Diego. Miller said crushers and exporters are concerned about future trade with China and are pushing for a science-based solution to the issue. She said the MOU signed with China in 2010 stipulated that any risk management actions would have to be based on science. Miller hopes China will step back and hold off on implementing the new policy until it has another look at the research results and perhaps initiates new joint research projects on the dockage issue. sean.pratt@producer.com

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Don’t expect any bull runs in grain and oilseed markets for the next year or more, but there will be opportunities to lock in profitable prices, says an analyst. Mike Jubinville, president of Pro Farmer Canada, told Farm Credit Canada’s Ag Outlook 2016 that the commodity super cycle is over. “We’re going into somewhat of a new era,” he said. “We are entering into a sluggish, more sideways, rangy kind of market.” Prices will remain in a narrow range for the next one to three years unless a major production shortfall occurs somewhere in the world. “I don’t want to get fooled into thinking when prices are starting to appreciate it’s the next bull market,” said Jubinville. However, opportunities to lock in profitable prices will occur because there will be times when they trend up to the high end of the range for a couple of weeks or months, just as there will be similar downturns. “We’re not going to see $14 canola, not without a production disaster, but we might have opportunities of $11,” he said. Jubinville, who spoke Feb. 23, said the downside for canola is limited. He believes the floor price for the oilseed is $10 per bushel because farmers are not interested in selling below that level. Growers harvested the second largest canola crop on record, but demand has been exceptionally strong from Canadian crushers and exporters. Canola is selling for about a $36 per tonne premium to soybeans, which is lower than the typical $50 per tonne spread. “Canola is not over-valued. Canola is competitively priced,” he said. Jubinville believes the best pricing opportunity for canola will

Farmers, oat buyers and grain companies have quietly developed a vibrant prairie cash market as they mostly abandoned the Chicago oats futures contract and its problems. It’s a far different market than farmers had five years ago, but not necessarily a worse one. “ T h e c a s h d o e s re f l e c t t h e demand,” said Prairie Oat Growers Association president Art Enns. “Cash is reflecting and has drawn acres.” The cash market now comprises direct contracting from processors, small grain companies sourcing and shipping directly to U.S. buyers and a heavy reliance on producer cars and even truck traffic. Some big grain companies have backed away from oats to focus on the bigger acreage crops. “You’ve seen a lot of the smaller grain handlers pick up the slack,” said Enns. Massive spreads and unpredictable swings between oats futures prices and the actual price in either Minneapolis, the main processing region, or Western Canada, the main growing region, have frequently occured in recent years. Grain companies and millers have often had to offer huge basis premiums over the futures to attract grain, encourage farmers to continue growing the crop and approximate the actual market value. The Chicago contract has often swung widely from cash market values, but the situation became critical during the 2013-14 transportation crisis. Grain shippers’ inability to access rail cars to move the crop to Minneapolis meant futures prices shot through the roof while cash market values on the Prairies collapsed. The futures prices accurately

Strong canola deliveries and exports could create shortages that would support prices near the end of the crop year. | FILE PHOTO come during the tail end of 201516 from May to July, when prices could increase to the high end of the range of $11 per bu. “We are eating through canola faster than a lot of people in the trade think,” he said. The only wrinkle could be the recently announced shift in Chinese policy, which allows no more than one percent dockage in canola shipments. This is half of what it used to be and could lead to a decrease in exports to Canada’s top canola customer. Wheat slipping Jubinville had a similar sideways, range-bound outlook for wheat, although he thinks the market may soon bottom out. The trend is still pointing down in U.S. futures markets, but offshore prices are starting to stabilize. The basis between the Canadian cash price in Canadian dollars compared to the U.S. futures price in U.S. currency is at the highest level since Canada moved to an

open market for the commodity. “The question here is, are these basis levels something to be locking up?” he said. Jubinville said an appreciating Canadian dollar or a rally in U.S. wheat futures markets could cause the basis to become less attractive. However, he doesn’t see either factor happening this year, so he doesn’t feel a sense of urgency to lock in basis levels or forward price new crop wheat. Jubinville believes that between futures prices and basis levels, growers should be able to generate a $6 to $7 per bu. price on wheat this spring or summer. Global wheat supplies are still burdensome, he added, but steps are gradually being taken to reduce the surplus. U.S. farmers planted the smallest winter wheat crop since 1913, with the lone exception of 2010. Yellow peas are trading near their all-time high, which makes Jubinville a little anxious. “Only four percent of the time over the past 20 years has this mar-

ket traded above $9 a bushel,” he said. There is nothing on the horizon to suggest the price will fall soon, but history shows when the decline occurs, it will do so in a hurry. There are once again dryness concerns with India’s rabbi or winter season crop, which bodes well for Canadian yellow pea prices. However, India’s government is inter vening to move stored pulses into the market. It seems to be affecting Indian chickpea prices, which have been trending down of late. “That has got me a little concerned,” he said. Jubinville is 100 percent sold on old crop peas and is booking new crop at $10 per bu., which is a money-making price for the commodity. For those intent on holding out, he believes there could be another jump in prices in summer as Indian importers restock their shelves after government policies deplete reserves. sean.pratt@producer.com

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE reflected a real cash market situation at the delivery point, but one totally irrelevant to western Canadian farmers. Divergences have since occurred again, but in ways that have not reflected cash market situations. Non-commercial traders have treated the oats contract as if it is mostly a cereal crop, causing trends in wheat and corn markets to dominate oat action, even though it doesn’t represent real oat demand. “The funds and the (speculators), they’re just driving this market in the direction they want it to,” said Randy Strychar of Oat Information. He said the contract continues to be a useful trading mechanism for non-commercial players but almost useless or even dangerous for farmers, grain handlers and processors. “It doesn’t really reflect what conditions are going on in the cash market,” said Strychar. The lack of a good futures hedge and low volumes of physical crop have discouraged some of the major grain handlers from showing much interest in moving the crop. It has created a busy market of producer cars and trucks being loaded by farmers and shipped by small grain handlers, Enns said. St r ycha r s a id Qu ak e r O ats helped drive the evolution by direct contracting with western Canadian farmers and having them load into producer cars. Fifty percent of Canadian oat exports to the U.S. are now shipped in producer cars. Enns said oat exports to Mexico have been healthy, and there have been sales to Asia. Because of all this, oats have drifted into a specialized production and marketing realm. How that will affect spring acreage is hard to tell. Strychar predicts a 10 percent acreage drop this spring, based mostly on poor new crop prices compared to Saskatchewan cash wheat prices. However, some traders are predicting up to a 25 percent drop. Enns said serious oat growers won’t be bothered by the switch away from futures and basis prices. They know the buyers and how to get and assess a cash quote. However, the lack of futures means some farmers might be less likely to throw in some acres, and some grain handlers might not be keen to deal with the crop. ed.white@producer.com

Canada poised to be big exporter to UAE Freelance writer Delaney Seiferling filed this report from Gulfood, the world’s largest annual food show held in Dubai. For a related story, see page 84. BY DELANEY SEIFERLING FREELANCE WRITER

Arab & India Spices, a United Arab Emirates company that imports and processes commodities, recently celebrated its 30th anniversary on a rooftop overlooking the bright lights of Dubai’s skyline. The company has become Dubai’s largest pulse processor with a capacity of more than 15,000 tonnes a month. It is also the biggest importer of Canadian pulse crops into the UAE at 60,000 to 70,000 tonnes a year. Managing director Harish Tahiliani said this important relationship with Canada has been critical in the company’s success and underscores the growing importance of Dubai as an emerging market for Canadian agriculture exports. “Canada and Dubai have shared a healthy relation for years, and this will continue because lentils are mainly consumed in this region, the Middle East,” said Tahiliani. “Muslim people consume a lot of

_ dust collector

pulses, and there isn’t any other or igin which can suffice the requirement of the Middle East.” Tahiliani’s father, an Indian who founded the company in 1986, was an early predictor of the potential growth in demand for regions serviced by Dubai. In 1990 he started processing lentils, the first company in the Middle East to do so outside of India. “My father was a regular visitor of UAE. One of my relatives was married here so my father used to visit her,” Tahiliani said. “He saw the potential in this market, and after commissioning one line of lentils, he saw there was a huge demand coming, so we started increasing the lines.” The company grew from its origins as a four-person staff in a 4,000 sq. foot facility to a 700 person staff in a 400,000 sq. foot plant processing 14 line of lentils and peas. At the same time, Canada’s agricultural exports to Dubai have also increased. It exported 223,889 tonnes of lentils to UAE in 2014-15, up from 117,355 tonnes in 2013-14 and 110,658 tonnes in 2012-13. Canola exports are on track to be a record this year, up from 343,983 tonnes in 2014-15 and, 273,944 tonnes in 2013-14. Wheat exports to the region are

also significant, averaging 300,000 tonnes a year in recent years. Tahiliani said Dubai is considered one of the most important business hubs in the Middle East and is the third largest export-reexport centre in the world, following Singapore and Hong Kong.

Canada’s reputation is good. We’ve never had any issue with any supplier. They have been very trustworthy and we can rely on them. HARISH TAHILIANI ARAB & INDIA SPICES

Its pro-business environment has attracted many companies such as Arab & India Spices. “The government here is very flexible,” he said. “We do not have any obligations like in other nearby countries in the Middle East.” Dubai’s key advantages include no foreign exchange controls, trade quotas and barriers and no tax on corporate profits and personal income. Customs duties are also low or non-existing, and 100 percent repatriation of capital and profits is permitted.

These regulations, combined with the state’s central location as an export hub and access to more than 120 shipping lines and 85 airlines, make it an ideal centre for re-exports. The government reports that international trade has grown by more than 11 percent per year since 1988. Tahiliani said re-exports are a major focus for Arab & India Spices because political unrest in neighbouring countries such as Sudan and Iraq has driven demand. The countries, once served by Turkey, now look to Dubai for stability. “We are getting the benefit of that. All the demand is now diverted to Dubai and because of this Dubai has become the hub of business and transport as well.” Dubai itself has become a growing market. The population is 2.5 million, which the government expects will increase to 3.4 million by 2020. Tahiliani said all of this translates into increasing demand for Canadian product. He expects the company’s imports from Canada will increase 10 to 15 percent this year and in the years ahead. “Canada’s reputation is good,” he said. “We’ve never had any issue with any supplier. They have been very trustworthy and we can rely on them.”

FEED OUTLOOK

Barley growers told to prepare for rally; when is the question A dry spring would support price, but larger feed wheat supplies limit gains BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers can probably count on a spring barley rally, some marketers say. However, they had better watch closely because it might not be as big or predictable as it usually is. “It’s one of the most consistent things in our market cycle,” said Kyle Sinclair of CorNine Commodities in Lacombe, Alta. “It’s fairly safe for a farmer to

assume an up-trending price going into the spring.” Feedgrain prices usually rise in Western Canada in May and June. Most believe this is because of road bans and seeding preparations, which discourage farmers and truckers from delivering grain. Less grain delivered to feedlots and other feedgrain users forces buyers to bid more aggressively to secure supplies, which causes the rally. Farmers may still have ample

sekom said, compared to $215 to $225 per tonne for feed wheat. The cheaper end of the feed wheat range is for fusarium-tainted crops. Si n c l a i r s a i d f a r m e r s c a n ’ t assume a rally this year will happen in May and June, as it usually does. Last year, the rally rose early because of an early spring. Prices fell off after seeding began, rallying again only when drought threatened.

won’t happen, said Jim Beusekom of Market Place Commodities in Lethbridge. Spring not only brings logistical challenges for delivery but also causes buyers to worry that a late or dry spring may affect future supplies. “When we get to the end of February, we’re at the start of another weather market,” said Beusekom. There’s little reason right now for feedgrains to rally substantially. Agriculture Canada expects barley ending stocks to increase to 1.7 million tonnes, which is higher than the five year average. H o w e v e r, m e m o r i e s o f t h e drought on the western Plains last summer could inspire enough fear to propel a rally, Sinclair said. The market could rally if it remains dry and drought fears continue. “Waiting four to six weeks here could be valuable,” Sinclair said about when farmers should consider selling. Barley prices have suffered as wheat weakened over the winter. Feed barley is selling for $200 to $210 per tonne in Lethbridge, Beu-

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australia’s agriculture production is set to rebound as the strongest El Nino in nearly 20 years subsides, according to the country’s chief commodity forecaster. Production of staples such as wheat, cotton and milk are all set to rise during the 2016-17 season, the Australian Bureau of Agriculture, Resource Economics and Rural Sciences said, although beef output in the world’s third-largest exporter is set to fall because of a smaller herd. Australian farmers are expected to seed a near record amount of wheat in the next few months, ABARES said, adding to global production that is expected to remain high despite benchmark prices recently falling to a more than 5 1/2 year low. Increased plantings and expected weather improvement are expected to produce a crop of 24.5 million tonnes, which would be a three-year high. Australia, the world’s fourth-largest wheat exporter, produced 24.2 million

tonnes in 2015-16. “Farmers in Australia have been insulated by the fall in (the Australian) dollar, while the depreciation of South American currencies will also incentivize farmers to boost production,” said Phin Ziebell, an agribusiness economist with National Australia Bank. Australian canola production is set to rise 11 percent to 3.27 million tonnes in 2016-17, ABARES said. European canola demand could increase, but shipments to China could fall because of stricter standards on dockage. Australian beef production is set to fall to a three-year low as farmers rebuild their stocks after drought forced culling that pushed the herd to a two decade low. ABARES put beef exports at 2.16 million tonnes in 2015-16, down 10 percent from the previous year. Sugar production is also set to benefit from the improved weather. ABARES pegged output in the world’s third largest raw sugar exporter at 5.08 million tonnes in 2016-17, up six percent.

MARKETS

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 3, 2016

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE WEAK There was not enough cash trade to establish a trend, but the market was weak, pressured by the stronger loonie and slow slaughter rates. Alberta dressed sales and bids were $282-$287, which was $3-$8 lower than the previous week. Packers were not lifting cattle until the end of March. The Alberta cash to Chicago futures basis weakened to -$16 to -$20. It appears neither Alberta federal plant operated Feb. 20, which lowered weekly slaughter to 31,000 head. Canadian cash prices are near the lowest levels this year, and some producers are booking cattle into the United States while others are selling more cattle on grid pricing. Carcasses remain large, but market-ready supply is manageable. Yearling numbers should decline over the next month and the market has the potential to rally back to the upper $170s to low $180s. U.S. cash trade developed only late on Friday with only a few dressed sales in the northern U.S. at steady to $2 higher. The Chicago April live cattle contract traded at the highest level seen this year.

SLAUGHTER COWS STEADY D1, D2 cows ranged $100-$114 to average $106.75 per cwt., and D 3 cows ranged $85-$100 to average $94.75. Dressed bids were $207$212 per cwt. delivered. Butcher bull prices rallied $2.64 to average $134.14 per cwt. Western Canadian non-fed slaughter for the holiday week ending Feb. 20 fell 21 percent to 7,311 head. Exports are 15 percent below a year ago. Supplies should tighten modestly, supporting prices.

FEEDERS MIXED Steer prices rose while heifers

eased a little. Stockers lighter than 400 pounds traded widely on varied lot size and quality, while improved grass interest pushed 400-700 lb. calf prices higher. The 500 lb. steer-heifer calf price spread in February widened to more than $36 per cwt., which does not bode well for herd expansion. Trade on feeders heavier than 700 lb. was uneven with discounts on fleshy cattle. Weekly auction volume rose 31 percent, but was 11 percent smaller than last year at the same time. Exports to Feb. 13 rebounded to 3,224 head, the best week since October, but exports are down 85 percent this year. Auction volume should rise seasonally, peaking in mid-March. Calf prices will likely follow the seasonally stronger trend. Concerns for summer pasture moisture have weakened enthusiasm for middle weight feeders. Mild weather is pushing yearling weights and body condition higher, and prices for feeders heavier than 900 lb. could dip. Bred cows ranged $1,575-$3,025 and bred heifers ranged $2,200$2,800.

U.S. boxed beef prices rose to Feb. 25 with Choice up US$5.37 at $218.76 and Select up $4.71 at $213.76. Signs of an early spring in the U.S. have retailers stocking up on grilling items. Weekly Canadian cut-out values to Feb. 20 traded lower with AAA down C$5.28 at $288.73 and AA down $13.41 at $281.72.

U.S. hog cash prices outperformed pork prices, cutting into p ro c e s s o r ma r g i n s, b u t t h e y remained profitable. Wintery weather in the Midwest disrupted hog transportation. The stronger Canadian dollar pressured local prices lower. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$46.50-$48.50 per hundredweight Feb 26, steady with $46.50-$48.50 Feb 19. U.S. hogs averaged $62.22 on a carcass basis Feb. 26, down from $62.50 Feb 19. The U.S. pork cutout rose above $75.50 midweek but closed at $74.22 per cwt. Feb. 26, down a little from $74.63 Feb. 19. T h e e s t i m a t e d U. S. w e e k l y slaughter for the week to Feb. 26 was 2.211 million, down from 2.294 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.259 million last year at the same time.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$6 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.35 with returns dependent on ex-

change rates, quality and export costs. Grade A heifers sold up to C$5.75. American buyers are offering US$4.10. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

SHEEP STRONGER Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported that 788 sheep and 257 goats sold Feb. 22. Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $225-$250 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $229-$250, 70-85 lb. were $223-$248, 86-105 lb. were $185$230 and 106 lb. and heavier were $146-$179. Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $210-$240 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $220-$245, 70-85 lb. were $220-$237, 86-105 lb. were $180$210 and 106 lb. and heavier were $140-$162. Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $220-$245. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $230-$295. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 859 sheep and lambs and 52 goats traded Feb 22. New crop lambs sold at prices $5-10 cwt. higher. Heavy lambs traded $5-7 cwt. higher. Sheep sold steady. Good goats traded higher.

USDA forecasts keep outlook gloomy MARKET WATCH

Darkness hangs over crop markets as ample supplies weigh down prices. |

D’ARCE McMILLAN

he U.S. Department of Agriculture reminded us last week that the world appears set on a course to another year of comfortable supplies of major grains. For Canadian farmers, it means another year when it is critical to know costs of production, watch for the inevitable modest rallies that spring up during the seeding and growing seasons and incrementally sell and hedge into those rallies. There are crop problems around the world, but they are not of the magnitude that change global supply and demand balances. Southern Africa is in severe drought, but it is not an internationally important production region. It will increase corn imports by a few million tonnes, but that is not enough to affect international prices. It is also dry in much of North Africa, particularly Morocco, but again, a production shortfall there is not going to change the international supply and demand picture. Canada might gain by shipping a few more boatloads of durum to the region. In fact, early this week Algeria bought at least 280,000 tonnes of durum, mostly from Mexico, but news reports said some might

come from Canada. India is also dry, and shortfalls in its unirrigated pulse crops should lead to good demand for Canadian pulses. However, a good percentage of its wheat crop receives some irrigation, which should lessen the impact on that staple crop — although we wonder how long India can mine its groundwater reserves before a crisis develops. I think the winter crop situation in India is a lot worse than the official government production forecasts let on. The country carries large government-owned wheat stocks, but imports might be needed. However, even 10 million tonnes of imports would pale compared to an expected world wheat carryout of 240 million tonnes. Given this overall picture, the USDA’s forecasts for American planted acreage and production did nothing to dispel the pall over the global crop market. The numbers released at the department’s annual outlook conference last week are its best guesses based on trends and economics and so should be considered as tentative. The USDA’s planting intentions report, based on a farmer survey, does not come out until the end of this month. Much can change in the weather as we transition from winter to spring, which could alter the actual number of seeded acres. However, the report gives traders something to talk about until the weather starts throwing curve balls. USDA economists expect American farmers will seed more corn acres, steady soybean area and a

little less wheat. Crop prices in U.S. dollars might be the lowest in years, but reduced costs for inputs such as fertilizer and fuel partly offset the misery for American growers. Large carry-in stocks and average weather during the growing season would produce record large total domestic supplies of the three main U.S. crops. Exports of corn and wheat will likely continue to struggle as the strong American dollar gives a competitive edge to other exporters with weaker currencies. It sees 2016-17 year-end U.S. stocks of corn and wheat rising and soybeans slipping only insignificantly. Weak currencies in the world’s other major crop exporting countries mean crop prices in the local currencies don’t look bad, so farmers there are eager to continue increasing production.

CRAIG’S VIEW

PRAIRIE CROPS

Lentil success story shows value of vision, research

t is one of the best good news stories to come out of agriculture in the past 30 years. It is a story that shows how an idea and desire, if deftly managed and based on sound principles, can be built into an entire new industry, generating new jobs and money-making opportunities in a myriad of spin-off businesses. For the first time last year, lentils ranked as the top earner among all crops for Saskatchewan farmers when considering only seed sales. The province’s lentil exports equalled $2.5 billion last year, compared to $2.4 billion for canola and $2.3 billion for wheat. It is a startling rise for a crop that was seldom heard of when Al Slinkard, who many consider the father of Canada’s lentil industry, arrived at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre in 1972. Slinkard estimated that 10,000 to 15,000 acres of lentils were being grown on the Prairies at that time. Last year, Saskatchewan alone seeded 3.7 million acres. Lentils’ climb to the top is due mostly to the record high prices being offered for green lentils and near record prices for red varieties, which have been boosted by

poor harvests in India. Last year, Saskatchewan shipped $961 million worth of lentils to India. Coincidentally, the announcement of 2015’s landmark year comes as the world enters the International Year of Pulses. The breakthrough serves as a tip of the hat to Slinkard and his team, who stick handled their vision for a vibrant pulse crop sector, particularly for lentils and peas, through the system. They saw pulses as a way to offer producers a new option to what had become a low value wheat crop in the 1980s. The lentil story began with a variety called Laird. Not only did early tests show that it had the ability to become a solid, economically sound option for prairie farmers, it also tested well when planted into wheat stubble, making it a good fit with the no-till revolution that was sweeping into the farm research lexicon at the time. As well, its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil made it a valuable contributor to farm rotations. Since then, many new lentil varieties have come to market, which give farmers a valuable economic and agronomic tool. The lentil success story illustrates how a bold vision can gather momentum. It also shows the valuable returns that can be realized from proper research funding. If the research can prove the product’s value, farmer interest will follow, and with that comes increased funding and even greater farmer interest. It is a lesson we should heed when exploring the many potential new crop options now coming down the pike. Which of those might become tomorrow’s lentils?

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION REVIEW

Liberals pressured to act quickly on transportation review CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

ormer cabinet minister David Emerson’s highly anticipated review of the Canada Transportation Act puts forward 60 recommendations on how to improve the transportation system. Transport minister Marc Garneau made Emerson’s year-long review public Feb. 25. It looked at Canada’s transportation system as a whole, including air, marine, road, and of course, rail, including grain transportation. On grain, Emerson argued that the maximum revenue entitlement, which limits the amount of income Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway

can earn shipping regulated prairie grain, should be eliminated within seven years. The policy has long been a sore spot with CN and CP, which argue the revenue cap is difficult to calculate in any given year. The former Conservative government’s decision to extended interswitching limits to 160 kilometres should also be phased out. For shippers, Emerson argued that a clearer definition of service is needed. “The review recommends that the level of service provisions be amended to include a more clearly defined goal. This would provide clearer direction to railways with regard to the federal governments’ expectations as they arrange to accommodate a shipper’s traffic,” the report reads. Em e r s o n ’s re p o r t w a s f a s ttracked by then transport minister Lisa Raitt in June 2014 as part of the C o n s e r v a t i v e g ov e r n m e n t ’s response to the 2013-14 grain crisis, which is estimated to have cost Western Canada $6.5 billion. At the time, Emerson’s report was

billed by the Conservatives as the source of long-term solutions to Canada’s grain transportation woes. In the meantime, the government said, the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act would provide shortterm solutions in an effort to get the millions of tonnes of stranded grain moving again. Fast forward to 2016. While a smaller crop, a warmer winter a n d f a l l i n g o i l d e ma n d hav e helped grain movement improve, long-term solutions designed to ensure 2013-14’s crisis doesn’t happen again have yet to be put in place. The Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act, meanwhile, which expanded monitoring power for Edmonton based Quorum Corp, expires in August, just weeks before peak prairie grain movement begins in the fall. Improving Canada’s grain transportation system remains one of the number one concerns of Canada’s agriculture industry, routinely cropping up in conversation at

industry conferences. Garneau has said he and his staff are reviewing Emerson’s report. The minister has said he wants to spend the spring and summer consulting with stakeholders and Canadians about its findings. However, the transport minister’s timeline could prove challenging for Canada’s grain industry. The Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act was introduced to Parliament in March 2014. Considered emergency legislation, the act passed through the House of Commons and the Senate with bi-partisan support. Even with the accelerated timeline, the bill did not receive royal assent until May 29, 2014, just weeks before Parliament rose for the summer recess. If the Liberals plan to introduce new legislation to fix Canada’s grain transportation system or extend the current legislation, they will likely need to follow a similar timeline, particularly if those changes are to be in place for the start of the new crop year.

In an interview, agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay said he is well aware of the act’s August expiration date, but said he wants to consult with stakeholders before taking action. “I certainly understand how important the transportation system is to the grain industry, but I think it would be a bit premature and immature for me to indicate what we’re going to do right now,” MacAulay said. “I want to hear from the stakeholders … and with that we’ll put together a system … hopefully … for many years down the road.” Conservative agriculture critic Chris Warkentin has said the federal government must put forward solutions before the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act expires. Meanwhile, NDP transport critic Linda Duncan said she has support on the House of Commons’ transport committee to study Emerson’s report as it pertains to rail safety.

& OPEN FORUM ANIMAL WELFARE

TPP AGREEMENT

Time to revisit animal transport rules BY SAYARA THURSTON

any of us dread going outside during winter, and w e c o u l d n ’ t i ma g i n e enduring the cold for long periods of time, especially without proper gear. But that’s exactly what farm animals in our country’s meat supply system routinely endure. Animals in transport are forced onto open trucks that travel through the bitter cold at high speeds, causing injury, stress, and for millions of animals each year, death. Federal law says animals must not face “undue exposure to the weather” that causes them “undue suffering.” However, neither term is defined, leaving it up to up to livestock producers, drivers and slaughter facilities to interpret how cold is too cold and how much suffering is too much. Sometimes animals aren’t transported on the coldest days of the year, but in much of the country, most days between December and early March expose animals to conditions that will inevitably cause suffering. It’s a national shame that in 2016, federal law doesn’t require farm animals to be transported in temperature-controlled vehicles. Prime minister Justin Trudeau and agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay have an opportunity this year to update standards covering animals in transport, which has been in the works for decades. Delays to these updates have presumably been driven by former

The new agriculture minister should introduce stricter regulations protecting animals during transport, says the author. | FILE PHOTO governments’ desires to keep animal use industries, and the rural votes they bring, on side by allowing them to perpetually put off investing in infrastructure and training that other jurisdictions have required for years. For example, it is illegal in the European Union to transport animals in open trucks when the temperature falls below 0 C or rises

above 35 C. It seems hard to find any explanation — save an underlying political one — for successive ministers to delay desperately needed, common sense improvements to standards covering animals in transport. Indeed, this is an issue people already support, in a very real sense. Think of the public outcry that

ensues when a callous person leaves a dog locked in a closed-up car on a hot summer day. Some U.S. jurisdictions are even contemplating giving bystanders the right to smash a car window to save a trapped animal. We already care about animals as a society, and the idea of a family pet overheating in a vehicle to the point of death while its owners pick up the dry cleaning is harrowing. Yet the federal government continues allowing millions of farm animals, which are every bit as sensitive to pain, fear and stress as our pets, to die as a result of being transported in extreme weather. MacAulay must seize the new government’s mandate to bring Canada out of the dark ages on this issue and introduce firm new regulations protecting animals during transport. In an era of free trade agreements and smartphone journalism, allowing industries to continue a self-regulated race to the bottom is in no one’s interest. Trading partners and Canadian consumers are increasingly asking questions about where their food comes from and how animals are treated. If those questions can’t be sufficiently answered by MacAulay and the agricultural sector, rest assured they’ll be answered on YouTube. And while Canadian laws may not define how much suffering is too much, the Canadian public certainly will. Sayara Thurston is a campaign manager for Humane Society International/Canada.

UNDERSTANDING INSURANCE

Remember crop insurance doesn’t guarantee price HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

any producers could benefit by expending more effort to properly analyze and understand their crop insurance coverage. Saskatchewan has just announced its program details for 2016, and overall it’s good news because of higher insured crop prices. The big wild card in coverage levels is that these prices are forecasts from the Market Analysis Group of Agriculture Canada. The insured price for canola of $11.23 a bushel is a surprise, which is well above the current market. In 2015, the insured price was only $9.30. For a producer with an insured yield of 32 bushels an acre,

coverage is going from $298 to $359 an acre. It’s a common mistake to assume that the $359 an acre is the lowest possible outcome. Of course, that isn’t the case. For example, let’s take a 32bushel per acre crop and a market price that ends up being only $9 per bu. Growing a crop right at the yield guarantee will result in a return of $288. A producer with a crop failure would actually end up with a much better return. The program is actually a bit perverse when insured prices are higher than market prices. The insured prices for lentils have seen big increases, particularly on large green lentils that were 27 cents a pound last year and are now 41 cents. On an insurable yield of 1,200 lb. an acre, coverage has gone from $324 to $492 an acre. Red lentils have an insured price of 35 cents a lb. but typically have higher yield guarantees. The insured prices on lentils may be warranted, given the contract prices that were available. However, the same caution applies. Crop

insurance is production insurance. It’s not a price guarantee. Producers need to take other steps to protect prices and thereby revenue. Each of the prairie crop insurance programs has different features. In Saskatchewan, producers can use either a Variable Price Option or an In-Season Price Option. Rather than act as an estimate of market prices that are available now, the Variable Price Option sets a final crop price in July. The InSeason Price Option sets final prices in February of the following year. Prices can go up or down a maximum of 50 percent compared to the crop insurance base price. The premium is adjusted accordingly. If you think a crop has a great deal of upside price potential, it might make sense to use one of these options. Looking at market conditions this year, there would seem to be more downside than upside on most crops, making these pricing options unattractive. There is also a contract price option available for flax, lentils, alfalfa seed, canary seed, mus-

tards, identity preserved canola and field peas. If you have a contract for a higher price than the insured price, the contract can be used to raise your price guarantee. Field peas is one crop where this would appear viable this year. The crop insurance price is only $7.54 a bu., while yellow peas have been contracted for $10 a bushel. A copy of the contract must be provided to Saskatchewan Crop Insurance by May 31. The contracted volume per acre and the price are then factored into the coverage. Some producers don’t believe in crop insurance. Instead, they think they are better off in the long run to self-insure. Some producers will go with Global Ag Risk Solutions and reduce their crop insurance coverage. Whatever your strategy, it’s important to understand the options and tailor coverage to your needs.

U.S. election, ag policies affect Canada EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

here is more to the American e l e c t i o n t ha n t h e c ra z y Republican presidential nomination race. At issue for Canadian agriculture is whether the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal will survive the next administration. All 12 nations — including Canada, the United States and Japan — have signed the deal, but it now must be ratified within two years by six countries containing 85 percent of the total gross domestic product. The agreement offers the potential for Canada to increase agricultural trade with Asian countries by several billion dollars. Many Canadian agricultural organizations support the TPP agreement, including the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, the Canola Council of Canada and the Canadian Meat Council. Even several supply management associations aren’t opposing it because it contains a healthy compensation package, and their loss of market share is not too harmful. In the U.S., Republicans normally support free trade, while Democrats back protectionist policies. Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are both are against the TPP. Clinton, who as secretary of state supported it, now says it won’t create enough jobs, increase wages or help national security. Sanders says the deal is “disastrous” because it would be bad for consumers and cost jobs in the U.S. But the Republican field is all over the map. Donald Trump doesn’t support the TPP, which he has called “crazy,” telling CNN the U.S. is getting “ripped off by China, by Japan, by Mexico.” Ted Cruz once supported passing the Trade Promotion Authority to allow the U.S. to fast-track the TPP, but then voted against it in the Senate. He now says the TPP should not be voted on during a lameduck legislative session. John Kasich says the TPP is “critical” to create jobs and create strategic alliances against the Chinese. Marco Rubio, whom I believe will ultimate emerge as the nominee, even if it has to happen on the convention floor, says the TPP is a “pillar” of his foreign policy strategy to achieve strategic goals and economic prosperity at home. We may watch the race in the U.S. with bemusement, but its outcome may have a significant impact on the prosperity of Canadian farmers. brian.macleod@producer.com

PM NO FRIEND To the Editor: On Feb. 16, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair asked agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay “when he would restore the Canadian Wheat Board” now that the evidence is in that the private grain companies had taken $6.5 billion from grain

farmers in the last two years. The minister’s answer must have shocked Mulcair and certainly should have shocked western farmers. Yes, he said, the wheat board had been sold (reminding Conservatives that a contract is a contract) and he would not be seizing assets, no matter how they were disposed of from G3, which is the combination of Saudi Arabia and Bunge, one of the world’s giant private grain companies. The fact that this response triggered a standing ovation from Conservative MPs speaks volumes. In October 2011, Liberal agriculture critic Frank Valeriote and Liberal deputy leader and former minister responsible for the CWB Ralph Goodale said, “The government’s decision to kill single-desk selling is a clear violation of the Canadian Wheat Board Act, which insists on democratic producer control.” The Act also insists that any changes to the CWB must be made

in consultation with its board of directors and with farmers directly, something this government has blatantly refused to do.” When Bill C-18 was recently tested in the federal court, judge Douglas Campbell, on Dec 7, 2011, ruled that then agriculture minister Gerry Ritz violated terms of the existing CWB Act by failing to hold a vote among producers about his proposal to end the CWB’s monopoly on wheat and barley sales. In other words, the CWB was then illegally gained goods. What MacAulay and the Liberal government is saying is that it is OK for corporate interests to keep illegally gained goods leaving western grain farmers to suffer the consequences. In spite of the Liberal election promises, we now find that the Trudeau government and the new minister of agriculture, like the emperor with no clothes, stand revealed as no friends of western grain farmers.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Agnotology in politics PRODUCER ONLINE

ROBIN BOOKER

recently encountered a word that stopped me dead in my internet perusing tracks and left me nodding my head toward the computer while saying, “that’s a good one.” The word, which I came across in an article by Georgina Kenyon on bbc.com, is agnotology, which is “the study of willful acts to spread confusion and deceit, usually to sell a product or win favour.” Agnotology was coined by science historian Robert Proctor to help describe the practice of tobacco firms investing billions of dollars to spread confusion in the public about whether smoking causes cancer. The tobacco industry’s tactics to keep citizens ignorant and confused about the health affects of smoking is an archetype of agnotology, but the use of this tactic is widespread. Billions of dollars are spent every year through the communication budgets of companies and political organizations to influence how we think and feel, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But when the public’s interests are at odds with the goals of these organizations, as was the case of big tobacco, then agnotology becomes much more important in their communication strategies. A consequence of the rampant

use of agnotology today is the erosion of public trust in our political processes, companies and science itself. Social media is saturated with agnotology. There are countless bogus “news” sites from all over the political spectrum spewing countless bogus “studies,” and it’s not surprising that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to cut through this clutter and mistruths to find a grain of knowledge. Knowledge has appeared to have taken such a back seat in some public discourse that it, as a value and sought after goal, has become so compromised as to be irrelevant in some public spheres. With the rise of Donald Trump in the United States, the apparently concerted effort to “dumb down America” may have reached its goal. Analysis of Trump’s speeches and Twitter account inevitably conclude that he rarely tells the truth, unless the “truth” is considered to be whatever happens to momentarily pop into his mind. Trump supporters likely don’t like him because he is knowledgeable or consistent. Some claim to like him because he “tells it like it is,” which apparently doesn’t have to be grounded in any verifiable fact. The rise in Trump’s popularity can be considered one of those “chickens come home to roost” situations. When there is a well-funded and consistent effort to manipulate and confuse a population with the use of tactics such as agnotology, it’s only a matter of time before the public becomes confused and makes bad decisions that hurt everyone. robin.booker@producer.com

FLAX RESEARCH DAY

Yield increase a priority for flax breeding The aim is to increase yields to more than 30 bushels per acre to remain competitive with other crops BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian flax industry is hoping to increase average yields by nearly 30 percent over the next few years with the help of improved agronomic management and enhanced genetics. A Feb. 22 Flax Research Day in Saskatoon was told that increasing average yields to more than 30 bushels per acre in Western Canada is achievable but will take time. “Last year (in Saskatchewan), I think we made that average of around 21 or 22 bu. per acre,” said Erwin Hanley, chair of the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission. “Of course, we keep hearing that that’s just not sufficient to remain competitive in this industry, so we know we have to work on that.”

Hanley said new flax varieties are delivering higher yield and agronomic improvements, but yield potential remains a top breeding priority, along with improved seedling vigour, earlier flowering, earlier maturity and improved stem dry down. Crop maturity continues to be a major challenge for the industry. The plant’s indeterminate growth habit can cause costly delays at harvest time and make combining a slow and frustrating process. Delayed dry-down was a problem last fall, and some crops were left in the field over winter. Ample moisture and mild fall temperatures slowed maturity and made harvest difficult. Harvest problems and straw management concerns are factors that limit annual flax acreage in Western Canada, Hanley said. The crop generates a price pre-

mium of $1.50 to $2 a bushel relative to canola. Total western Canadian acreage was 1.7 million acres last year. Hanley said the industry has identified dry-down as another top breeding priority. Helen Booker, a flax breeder with the Crop Development Centre at the University of Saskatchewan, said genetic material associated with earlier flowering has been indentified and has been incorporated into CDC flax lines. Farmer interest in the crop could increase significantly if new, earlier maturing varieties can be developed with improved dry-down characteristics. Improved crop management on the farm will also play a key role in boosting yields and acreage, Hanley said. More emphasis has been placed on educating farmers about flax

production and agronomic management. Research has shown that applying fungicides such as Headline and Priaxor to control pasmo can consistently increase harvested yields. A pre-harvest burn-off is also a critical step that will limit harvest problems, ensure a more consistent stand and simplify straw management. “If I hadn’t done a pre-harvest burn-down on my flax … I would

have struggled to get mine off,” Hanley said. Many Saskatchewan growers were pleasantly surprised by yields and overall production, despite harvest challenges and a dry start to the growing season, he said. Acreage has rebounded in the past few years, and total western Canadian plantings of close to two million acres are not out of the question for this year. “When you go back three or four years, our acreage certainly has improved since then,” Hanley said. “In all the years I’ve been growing flax, I can only recall a couple of times where we’ve been over two million acres, but we’re not far off that.” Growers planted 1.2 million acres in Saskatchewan last year and 500,000 acres in Manitoba. brian.cross@producer.com

An American biotechnology company is hoping to bring its first non-genetically modified, herbicide-tolerant canola line to the Canadian market next year. Cibus Global of San Diego has already launched its SU canola product in the northern United States, company spokesperson Steve Sanders said during a recent stop in Saskatoon. A small number of canola growers in North Dakota grew the product last year as part of a limited U.S. launch. Cibus has already secured Canadian regulatory approval for the product, which regulators have defined as a plant with novel traits (PNT). The company had hoped to launch an SU canola product in Canada this year, but concerns about yield and oil quality have delayed the launch for at least another year. Cibus said yield and oil quality issues must first be addressed to ensure that the products are competitive with other canola varieties. “That’s something we’re putting a lot of emphasis on now, is making sure that our yield is competitive with everything else that’s out on the market.,” Sanders said. “We’re actually not that far away, in terms of having regulatory approvals completed in Canada and looking to market as early as next year.” SU canola is Cibus’s first commercial seed product that was developed using a patented geneediting procedure known as the rapid trait development system (RTDS). It is tolerant to the sulfonylurea family of herbicides. Gene editing refers to a variety of new plant breeding technologies that allow breeders to make precise genetic changes at a targeted location in the plant genome.

Cibus’s RTDS gene editing technology is considered non-GMO and non-transgenic, meaning it does not introduce foreign genetic traits into the plant being developed. The technology would have major implications for the canola industry in terms of market access, particularly in markets that are reluctant to buy GM products.

We’re actually not that far away, in terms of having regulatory approvals completed in Canada and looking to market as early as next year. STEVE SANDERS CIBUS GLOBAL

Sanders said growers in the United States are happy with the SU canola’s weed control package. Market acceptance is expected to expand significantly this year. “It was a somewhat limited launch last year,” Sanders said. “But we’ll have a presence this year in the (U.S.) marketplace.” Sanders said Cibus is also continuing to work with the Flax Council of Canada and other partners as it develops non-GM, non-transgenic glyphosate tolerant flax varieties that will ultimately be aimed at the Canadian marketplace. The company already has glyphosate tolerant flax plants in its greenhouse facilities. The next steps are to assess and select experimental lines that can be used to produce market-ready varieties. “We need to make sure that our lines perform well and that our trait gives us field level tolerance,” Sanders said. “In terms of market, we’re shooting for a limited launch in 2019 for the United States and hopefully a year later in Canada.” brian.cross@producer.com

ORGANIC CONFERENCE

CROP PROTECTION

Organic group sees exciting times ahead

Tailor-made insurance for organic sector

Financial struggles have been addressed and new funding sources will allow initiatives to continue BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — The increasing consumer demand for organic products has created financial growing pains for Alberta’s organic organization. However, difficulties paying the bills while expanding the industry have forced the organization to become stronger and more focused, said Ward Middleton, president of Organic Alberta. “This was by far the most challenging year,” he said. The organization was just days away from not being able to pay its staff last summer.

It had taken on a large project, the Prairie Organic Grain Initiative, which was designed to help existing producers increase production and quality and improve profits. However, it resulted in more staff and more costs. “For us, we have to lay out a significant amount of cash,” treasurer Danny Turner told Organic Alberta’s annual meeting. “We were on the verge of making some very difficult decisions.” The federal government forwarded money for the project days before the organization missed its payment. Funds are normally paid after the project is finished, but Middleton

said funding large projects without upfront cash is extremely difficult for small organizations surviving on donations and book sales. The funding crunch encouraged implementation of better financial management plans and policies. Better planning and access to alternative funding sources allowed Organic Alberta to raise more than $600,000 last year, double its income from a year earlier. Turner expects to have more than $850,000 in revenue this year. “It is an exciting time. What we’re seeing now is we’ve been a small player in the room for so long. This is really being driven by consumer demand,” said Middleton.

Demand for organic products has not slowed, even during tough economic times. Food processors have wanted more products but are struggling to find organic supply. “Food processors are telling us they would introduce new food products if they just had the product. Industry is coming to Organic Alberta with money asking for programs that will help grow the supply of organic grains in Western Canada,” said Middleton. “It is a little bit of an affirmation from industry we are doing a good job and we will help you. The reality is our products are in strong demand.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

OLDS, Alta. — Alberta’s organic farmers will have access to crop insurance this year. Ester Bemile, a product development analyst with Agriculture Financial Services Corp., said crop insurance for conventional farming didn’t work for organic producers. She hopes a program specific to organic agriculture will give farmers a risk management tool. “We will expect some people will take it because the current program wasn’t working very well for organic producers,” Bemile told the recent Alberta Organics conference. She said organic insurance prices will be 1.5 to 2.6 times higher than conventional prices, depending on crops. Organic crops generally fetch higher prices than conventional because of the demand. Eligible crops include barley, canola, peas, flax, oats, fall and spring rye, spring and winter triticale and six kinds of wheat and durum. Producers who already have historical organic crop data with AFSC may be able to transfer their farm data. Farmers without historical data will start off with the area average of conventional yields, less 15 to 50 percent, depending on the crops. Premiums will be higher until more information is gained from the insurance program. Organic farmers will be able to take hail insurance and be eligible for wildlife damage compensation. Eligible farmers must be certified by a Canadian Food Inspection Agency-approved body. Bemile said organic producers had difficulty insuring their crops under the conventional programs. For example, claims would be rejected if an inspector saw weeds in a field because he would determine that spray could have controlled them. “If you follow the Canadian organic standard, you won’t be penalized for finding weeds on your farm,” she said. Ward Middleton, president of Organic Alberta, said growers who are just entering the industry and those who want to expand will likely use the new program. “In surveys we’ve done over the past couple years, during development, we found existing organic farmers are well established, have zero or low debt and weren’t looking to use insurance as a risk mitigation strategy,” he said. “We were polling the wrong group.” Potential new organic growers wanted access to crop insurance as a way to reduce their risk until they became accustomed to not using traditional weed and pest control. “It actually became an impediment to draw people to organics,” he said. “I think the new entrants and the expanding growers are going to be where we will see the uptake. How well it will be embraced, I am not certain.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

LEVY CENTRAL

ADVERTISING FEATURE

LEVY CENTRAL - 23 Years of Excellent Service

by Darlene Polachic

ertain agricultural producer organizations are government mandated to collect levies on commodity sales. When product is sold at an elevator or through a commodity buyer, funds are deducted from producer payments and returned to the agricultural organizations to be used for research and development, promotion, and marketing. Levy Central was conceived by the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission in 1991 to collect and track canola checkoff. Over time, it expanded to take on check-off administration for other organizations. In 2010, Levy Central moved to the Agriculture Council of Saskatchewan Inc. (ACS), a non-proﬁt organization that works to address issues and explore opportunities in the agriculture and agri-food sector.

Levy Central, says the service boasts 30 years of combined experience. “We are a third party provider that ensures maximum levies are collected according to each of the client’s unique regulatory requirements, in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

Operating under a strict conﬁdentiality agreement, Levy Central currently collects 13 agricultural check-offs for a dozen Western Canadian producer organizations. In the 2013-2014 crop year, Levy Central collected $17 million from 158 buyers, representing grain delivery from over 106,000 Western Canadian producers. Nicole Yip, senior client service representative for

“Each report is personalized to the commodity and presents current, comprehensive data that is easy to follow and understand.”

“Each buyer sends in a report and check-off reimbursement according to the Commission’s regulations. Our job is to ensure the accuracy of each report and the corresponding dollar amounts. The funds are deposited directly into the client’s bank account. The regulated report is entered into the Automated Levy Tracking System (ALTS), a database speciﬁcally created to track levies and generate various documents for the beneﬁt of our clients. We also assist in the refund and buyer registration processes and generate various producer lists.”

Levy Central will set up new clients for levy collection once they have received their mandate. This begins by building a database which offers clients 24-hour remote access. Once the client provides a buyer list, each buyer is contacted to answer any questions they may have regarding the reporting process for the new check-off. Buyer data is entered into ALTS and the database is then ready to receive reports.

Over the 23 years Levy Central has been in operation, other services have been added; one provides election services for agriculture-based businesses. Yip says even if the business is not a client, Levy Central will function as Returning Officer and/or Scrutineer to lend efficiency to the process.

“Integrity and validity of data are crucial to organizations, so a stringent system of checks and balances developed over many years guarantees the veracity of information in each client’s database.”

Levy Central continues to keep at the forefront of technology so we can deliver the best to our clients

ACS Executive Director Bryan Kosteroski says the organizations are a perfect ﬁt because of the Council’s co-operation with all the sectors of Western Canadian agriculture.

Levy Central also compiles data and generates analyses and trend reports for clients, something Yip says saves the partners hours of work.

“Before we undertake the duties of Returning Officer or Scrutineer, we have extensive discussions with the client to review the regulations and determine the type of election required. We assist in the creation of the ballot package to ensure clarity and maximum voter return, verify candidate nominations, and receive, verify and tabulate votes.”

Yip says taking on more clients at Levy Central results in cost effectiveness for everyone. “It’s a win-win for all when a new commission comes on board. We are a cost-recovery program, so with each new client addition, the share of the program’s operational costs decreases for all.

Kosteroski adds, “Levy Central continues to keep at the forefront of technology so we can deliver the best to our clients. Our goal is always to provide efficiencies and top level service.” Levy Central is open to expanding services across Canada in order to better serve the agriculture sector.

GRAZING LEASES

Survey info to help determine lease rental rate changes Alberta’s new rent framework will hinge on cost of production survey and will take into account cattle price fluctuations BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LETHBRIDGE — No changes to rental rates on Alberta crown grazing leases are expected until next year. A cost of production survey is going out to 1,500 leaseholders to see what changes may be necessary before Alberta Environment and Parks can present a new rent framework. “They’ll compile all the data and see if there is any changes in costs and to see whether it still makes sense to head in the direction we want with the rental rate framework,” said Larry Sears, past presi-

dent of the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association. A review has not been done for 10 years, and costs have changed in that time. Leaseholders are responsible for costs such as water development and fencing and must pay the municipal property taxes. “Fence costs have more than doubled in that 10 year period,” he said. “Custom work to develop water has also increased substantially. Those sorts of things need to be factored in.” Leaseholders in northern regions must also deal with brush and have different expenses. A rental rates proposal on crown land has been on the books since

2014 with participation from Alberta Beef Producers, the Western Stock Growers Association, the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association, the Northern Alberta Grazing Association and the Special Areas in southeastern Alberta.

One plan divides the province into zones to reflect higher costs Rental rates are included in amendments to the public lands act regulations, so changes could take some time, said Amanda Miller from the environment and parks department, which handles

rangeland policy. “This partially hinges on the new cost of production survey we are doing, and it will likely be integrated into the new rates formula we are proposing,” she told the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association annual meeting in Lethbridge Feb. 25. There will be further consultation after that study is completed. “We know what we are trying to manage for on these grazing leases on public lands. It is just putting pen to paper and outlining them,” she said. The latest proposal divides the province into two zones based on where the land transitions to the boreal forest region.

Minimum rental rates are different and reflect the higher capital costs that are needed in Zone 2. Zone 1, which is the southern zone, will likely pay $2.30 per animal unit month, and Zone 2 will be set at a minimum of $1.30 per animal unit month. Assignment fees will be a flat rate. It will be a market based administrative formula similar to what pulp, deciduous timber and conventional oil and gas pay. The rent w ill also take into account current market conditions so that charges can be adjusted when cattle prices rise and fall. barbara.duckworth@producer.com LCRC BREEDING

Western Canada’s newest cereal breeding program could bring its first new wheat variety to market within the next two to four years. Jim Peterson, vice-president of research with Limagrain Cereals Research Canada (LCRC), said the new Saskatoon-based breeding program already has germplasm in the pipeline that is close to being commercialized. Experimental lines are being assessed to determine where they might fit into the Canadian wheat classification system “We have some materials that are coming in and we’re looking at where they might fit into the new wheat classification system,” Peterson said. “We think we have some opportunities to move some (products) within the next two, three, four years into the market.” LCRC was formally announced in July 2015. It is a joint venture breeding program that involves Canterra Seeds and Limagrain, a Francebased farmer-owned co-operative. The company recently hired a senior cereal breeder from Australia and is looking for candidates to fill two additional research positions, said LCRC chief executive officer Erin Armstrong. Peterson said the program is well on its way to making new cereal grain varieties available to Canadian farmers. Through a previous agreement with Canterra, Limagrain has been testing experimental wheat lines in Canada for the past four years and has an established field program. In addition to its operations in Europe, Limagrain has an established cereal breeding program in the United States and recently formed programs in Argentina and Brazil as well as Canada. “The Canadian program is an extension of global growth in cereals research at Limagrain,” Peterson said. “They’ve moved well beyond their European home and are trying to truly build a global cereals operation that can be flexible and can complement each other and bring resources to the table for local conditions.” brian.cross@producer.com

POWER LEGISLATION

Ontario imposes legislation to address stray ground current Electrical distributors must address problems within six months BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

OUNGAH, Ont. — The Ontario government appears ready to pass legislation that will force Hydro One and other electrical distributors in the province to quickly address stray ground current complaints. The second reading of a private members’ bill introduced by Conservative MPP Rick Nicholls was passed Feb. 18 with support from agriculture minister Jeff Leal. It would require distributors to respond to complaints within 10 days, investigate within 30 days and take all necessary steps to resolve ground current issues within six months. “I am viewing this bill as being non-partisan. For the past 40 years, all three parties here have formed the government at least once, but little has been done to address this issue,” Nicholls said.

RICK NICHOLLS CONSERVATIVE MPP

“My critic’s role is to address issues of public safety. You’ve probably heard of Lee Montgomery. I’ve been working this with Lee for the past four years.” Montgomery, who was in the legislature as Nicholls spoke, is a

former dairy farmer who is credited with first bringing the issue to light. He said he began having problems with his dairy herd in the early 1970s. However, It wasn’t until 1980, after working with a veterinarian and the Ontario agriculture ministry’s dairy specialist, that the issue was linked to stray electrical current. Montgomery sold his herd in February 1992. Montgomery, 82, said his animals suffered for 20 years. Symptoms included swollen joints, deformed udders, a high incidence of mastitis, chronic unease and death. He also believes stray voltage was a main factor in the death of his wife. “She had many of the same conditions that the cows had.” Montgomery spends much of his spare time working as a stray current advocate in Canada and the United States. “Everything I’ve spent fighting this issue for the past 40-odd years has come out of my own pocket,” he said. “By the time most farmers ask for help, they’re broke, and so why would I ask them for anything.” Montgomery plans to continue his efforts even if the legislation is implemented. He’s looking for compensation for himself and other affected farm families. “The bottom line is, this is not about just cows or Lee Montgomery, it’s about people,” Montgomery said. “I’m going to look after Lee right now and by doing that I’m going to help everyone else.… Patience has been my best ally.” Montgomery said he had to sell

Former MPP Maria Van Bommel did the same in 2006, but an election was called before it could move forward. Her efforts led to a directive from the energy ministry to the Ontario Energy Board to develop new protocols to address stray current complaints.

looking for best fencing practices for cattle. “I want to create the win-win situation where we can put up an enhancement or modification that we know will actually work for pronghorn and is still going to keep the cattle in the field they’re supposed to be in so that we can keep antelope moving across this landscape,” he said. Pronghorn are a free roaming species capable of large migrations, particularly during severe winters, when they will range between Alberta, Saskatchewan and Montana. Jones said the animals must be able to move and typically choose to crawl under the bottom fence wire as opposed to jumping over the top.

PAUL JONES RESEARCHER

“So if your bottom wire on the fence is low, your fence is now impermeable for pronghorns to cross,” he said. “We’ve got records of animals moving parallel to a fence, going back and forth trying to find somewhere to cross. What I’m really keying in on is these animals have the special memory of where their known crossing sites are.” Jones is using high end cameras that are capable of colour video and night time sensors to review four fence modifications: goat bar, staple lock method, bottom smooth wire and open gate. The goat bar uses a long length of white PVC tubing, which holds the bottom wire up with the second wire and increases the distance between the ground and wire. The staple lock method uses twoinch metal staples to clip the bottom wire and top wire to the middle wires. The bottom smooth wire is strung between fence posts and the open gate removes all wires. The preliminary study is still underway, but Jones thinks the smooth wire at 45 centimetres is the best solution for pronghorn and cattle because pronghorns do not logically cross at raised wires and still become entangled in barbed wire at their known crossing sites. As well, the bottom smooth wire allows calves that get out of a fenced pasture to find a way back in. “If you do the whole fence and the calf gets out at 18 inches (45 cm), he’s got a whole fence now to get back under. Right now what you see when a calf gets out is it has no idea where it got out and can’t find the same spot,” he said. “That’s where you see the calf running back and forth and the mom running back and forth.” william.dekay@producer.com

LOOKING BACK

Hough farm operating since 1784 Ontario farm grew barley in 1880s, now grows corn, soybeans and winter wheat BY DUANE MCCARTNEY FREELANCE WRITER

NA PA N E E , O n t . — D u n c a n Hough’s ancestors were among the United Empire Loyalists who made the long and difficult journey to the Kingston, Ont., region from New York. Following the American Revolution, thousands like them left the United States after King George III encouraged his constituents to take up and improve the land in Upper and Lower Canada. As incentive, all loyal subjects and non-commissioned officers were given 200 acres of land and Loyalist field officers were given 1,000 acres, said Duncan. Today, Duncan and his wife, Ruth, grow crops on farm land near Napanee that has been in their family since 1784. “It took them six months or more to make the journey on foot and by paddling a 30 to 40 ft. bateaux, a flat bottom draft boat which held four to five families and their meagre possessions,” said Duncan. The king gave each Loyalist family a box of hoes and axes, a barrel of potatoes, corn, an army tent, sufficient clothing for three years and one cow between two families. One blanket was provided for two children and the women were given four yards of linen, some woolen cloth and stockings. Local Indians would later show the women how to make deerskin clothing and moccasins. “Life in the early years was very harsh,” said Ruth. Duncan’s great-great-great-greatgrandfather’s family had to clear land covered with large maple, beech, elm, pine and cedar trees. They soon found that their short handled ship axes were unsuitable for felling large trees.

By the mid-1800s, a thriving barley industry flourished in the area and many made their fortune by selling barley to the American breweries across Lake Ontario.

At its peak, barley sold for $1 per bushel. The market collapsed during the 1880s when U.S. president William McKinley established a prohibitive tariff on the importation of barley and prices plunged to 30 cents per bushel. Remnants of many shipping wharfs on Lake Ontario are still visible near the Hough farm.

After the downfall of the barley industry, some local farmers established cheese factories. Records show that by the 1900s, the Hough family was shipping milk in 110 litre cans to the local cheese factory. “There was a cheese factory about every five to 10 miles as this was the distance that the milk

could be delivered via horse and wagon each day,” Duncan said. The Black River cheese factory continues to operate near the Hough farm today. Duncan’s great-grandfather, Duncan, purchased a farm in 1886 and grew fruit and vegetables that were delivered by horse and wagon to customers 40 km away.

Foodies still have hand in special of the day Former Calgary chefs understand the service industry and now provide tailor-made lamb cuts to restaurants and hotels BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

VULCAN, Alta. — What do two experienced chefs have for breakfast? Coffee. Lots of coffee. Nancy and Ray Nolan need caffeine to keep them alert during lambing at Lambtastic Farms. The

lambs from their 350 Suffolk-cross ewes are coming thick and fast and at all hours of the day and night, so the former chefs have no time for fancy breakfasts. Their farm is a long way, geographically and experientially, from where they met in the kitchen of London’s Dorchester Hotel in

2003. Nancy remembers her immediate attraction to Ray during a tryout for the job. She grew up near Vulcan, where her parents, Rosanne and Dennis Stretch, continue to farm in partnership with her and Ray. Ray grew up on a sheep farm in County Carlow, Ireland, where his

father and brother still farm. That background explains how they came to operate Lambtastic Farms, after first working in Toronto and Calgary as chefs. “When we got here, we thought that we’d get a couple sheep,” said Nancy. “That’s how it all starts,” added

Ray, with a rueful smile. They started with 50 Cheviots, but that turned into a much larger flock of Suffolks. “They’re good mothers and good producers, good carcasses, so that’s important,” said Ray. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

FARM LIVING ON THE FARM

THE NOLAN FAMILY Vulcan, Alta.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “They work for us. Everybody’s got their different tastes.” Lambtastic Farms operates through direct marketing, selling from an on-farm shop and providing product to Calgary hotels, restaurants and specialty grocery stores. Their chef experience is an asset in that respect. “We still have the connection because we direct market,” Nancy said.“We’re selling to hotels and restaurants, so we still get to talk to them, but this way we get to eat at the restaurants more than we ever did before. “One of the assets for us is that we understand that we’re not going to sell you a product and then be out of it in two months. We’ve been on the other end of that, so we understand how their business works.” Added Ray: “We know exactly what they’re looking for when they call up and say they want a certain cut, done a certain way.” It also helps to follow the product from birth to consumption with the ability to control quality at almost every step. Lambing takes place from January to March. Ewes lamb indoors and are then placed with their lambs in smaller indoor pens for three or four days to promote bonding and ensure the lambs are healthy. The animals spend the rest of their time outside on 320 acres of pasture and some rented land in summer. The Nolans grow their own feed with the Stretches. The sheep receive a diet of hay, barley, peas, pea straw and pasture fodder. They considered building a barn near their home when they began Lambtastic Farms, but then a former chicken barn came available a few kilometres away. Already equipped with lights, heat, ventilation and automatic waterers, the barn reduced the expense of building new. It had an open pit for chicken litter, which the Nolans replaced with tenderfoot flooring commonly used in hog operations. The non-slip surface works well for the ewes and is easy to clean between uses. Nancy and Ray have two boys, Brayden, 4, and Charless, 2. Nancy said farm life allows them to spend more time with their children than they would if both were still working as chefs. As for the boys, they love animals. “They wake up in the morning and once you say the barn word, it’s socks on, boots on,” said Ray. Nancy has learned to speak the B word with caution. “You can’t say barn unless you mean it. Charless will put his boots on and his jacket on and stand at the door if you say that word.” Brayden is old enough to bottlefeed the orphan lambs and Charless, though hesitant to go into the sheep pen alone, loves to do it with

his parents. Having grown up on farms, Ray and Nancy appreciate the value of raising children in a rural setting. “There’s a good lesson to be learned, when you have some animals to look after and you can see them grow and reap rewards from it,” said Ray. As for chef-quality meals at home, they do occur, but less often during lambing. The couple likes to entertain and easily gives advice to others on how to cook and prepare lamb. Southern Alberta is traditionally cattle and beef country, but they encourage people to branch out. “The one thing I tell people is not to be scared of cooking lamb. For the most part, you can treat it just like beef,” said Nancy. “And keep it simple,” added Ray. For more information, visit www. lambtasticfarms.com. barb.glen@producer.com

Post-partum depression When to hang up the car keys? helped with counselling HEALTH CLINIC SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

We visited my son, his wife and their new baby last week. It was scary. The house was a mess, our daughter-in-law seemed depressed and our new grandson is clearly not getting the care he needs. Our son works all day, then comes home to look after the baby all night. He is exhausted. Even from work, he is checking with his wife to remind her to feed and change the baby. When I tried talking to my son, he brushed me off. He said his wife has the baby blues and they will pass. I have had the baby blues along with most of my friends. This is more than that but I am not sure what to do about it.

It sounds like you and your son should determine if your daughter-in-law is struggling with post-partum depression.

One in seven new moms will be challenged with this condition. Fortunately, help is available but the problem is getting new moms to their physician to get the help they need. Some are too embarrassed to talk to anyone. Moms caught up in post-partum depression know that they are not loving and caring for their child as they could be but try to deny it and do not want to talk about it. Once you get your daughter-inlaw to talk to her physician about what is going on, the rest is relatively straightforward. Unlike other forms of depression, post-partum is relatively short term. A little medication and a few sessions with a mental health counsellor should help her resolve it. Until then, be extra sensitive. Don’t judge or criticize her. Your daughter-in-law is feeling bad enough. Your best bet is to help out as much as she will let you, both with child care and housework. Let her know that you care about her so much that you would be willing to do whatever you can to encourage her to visit her doctor.

It is thought that depression may increase a person’s sensitivity to pain. Fifteen percent of people with chronic depression commit suicide.

At what age should a person give up driving a vehicle? Is it OK for people to still drive in their 80s and 90s? Does it matter if a person’s memory is fading or their reactions are a little slower than average?

There is no real consensus on this subject. Some people believe that senior drivers are safer than young drivers because they appear to be more law abiding, less likely to take risks and more likely to wear seatbelts. They also have more driving experience. On the other hand, they are more often found to be at fault in common accidents. Their violations include failure to obey traffic signals, unsafe turns and passing and failure to yield the right of way. The regulations regarding driver licences vary between provinces, but some require those above a certain age, often 80 plus, to take tests when renewing their licences. They may also be required to provide a doctor’s letter certifying that they are physically fit to drive.

Illnesses that might prevent a person from driving might include seizures or blackouts, fainting spells or dizziness or poor hearing or eyesight that cannot be corrected by surgery, hearing aids or glasses. Conditions such as Alzheimer’s, which include memory loss and a tendency to get lost, are also problematic. Sometimes a partial restriction or condition is imposed. Night driving might be prohibited or the person may be required to wear corrective lenses. They may also be permitted to drive only for a certain restricted time or distance. These conditions may be applied by provincial laws or by the insurance provider. Most elderly drivers are reluctant to give up driving, and it is their friends and relatives who may have the responsibility of pressuring them to do so. This should be approached with caution because there have been studies that show that seniors who can no longer drive show a deterioration in their general health afterwards. A review, published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, looked at 16 studies that compared older adults who had stopped driving with those who were still on the road. Researchers headed by Dr. Guohua Li at Columbia University Medical Centre in New York City found that depression is a common result of not being able to

Depression may also exacerbate existing physical conditions. Li stressed that it is a delicate balance and each situation has to be independently assessed. Particularly if they live in rural areas, the older person may no longer be able to do their own shopping, attend medical appointments or socialize with friends. Drastic lifestyle changes may become necessary, such as moving into town or a retirement facility. Generally, ceasing to drive was associated with deteriorating health. This may be a chicken and egg situation. Did giving up the car keys cause them to become incapacitated sooner or were they already on a downward path, leading to the necessary removal of the licence?

50 YEARS AGO

CWB blames price war for lower wheat payout FROM THE ARCHIVES

that the pest was being found in samples of wheat taken from farmers’ wagons.

50 YEARS AGO: MARCH 3, 1966

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: MARCH 6, 1941 The Saskatchewan legislature unanimously approved a six point agricultural plan, which was then sent to the federal government. The key point was a minimum wheat price of 85 cents a bushel and a 50 cent processing tax on all wheat milled in Canada for domestic consumption, which was expected to add an additional 10 to 11 cents per bu. on restricted deliveries of 230 million bu. Farmers were warned to take precautions against the possible presence of grain mites in their bins. The “extremely small insectlike organism” was usually associated with elevator storage, but elevator agents were reporting

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture added its voice to the clamour for nationalization of Canadian Pacific Railway’s rail services. The federation said such a move would make possible a single integrated rail service that would be better able to serve the public interest. The call for nationalization was prompted by slow grain shipments from the Prairies to the West Coast, which many blamed on CP. It was the first time the CFA had come out this strong on the issue. Prairie farmers received $72 million less for their wheat than they did the previous year. The decline from a total $272 million paid in final payments by the Canadian Wheat Board in 1963-64 to $200 million in 1964-65 was blamed on an international price war that was driving down prices.

The federal government would have to cover any deficit, which Hehn said was why he was keeping federal finance minister Michael Wilson up to speed on the situation.

didn’t mean NISA lacked support among the other provinces; only that it was a “budgetary issue” for them. However, as The Western Producer pointed out, Saskatchewan appeared to be the province least able to afford the new program.

10 YEARS AGO: MARCH 2, 2006 Saskatchewan was the only province that planned to allow its farmers to set up individual Net Income Stabilization Accounts for the 1990 taxation year. Federal agriculture minister Don Mazankowski said it

A promising new wheat class met with a significant setback. White wheat was desirable for its ability to produce better quality noodles and steamed bread, but it appeared

that agronomic problems with Snowbird, the dominant variety, would prompt growers to cut their acres in half rather than double them, which was originally anticipated. Wheat board chair Ken Ritter said the agency would have to develop business partnerships around the world if it was going to survive as a marketer of farmers’ wheat and barley. The new Conservative government had other ideas. bruce.dyck@producer.com

SPECIAL REPORT

Much ado Water. It seems there is either too much of it or not enough where farmers are concerned. The last several years in Saskatchewan have generally been wet, with extensive flooding in some areas, and that has led to a greater focus on unauthorized agricultural drainage. As part of its 25-year Water Security Plan, released in 2012, the province promised to better address agricultural drainage issues. After consulting with farmers and other stakeholders new regulations were announced in September 2015. Among them is a focus on compliance and a shift in thinking toward organized drainage. In this special report, Regina reporter Karen Briere examines how the changes might affect farmers as they are phased in over the next 10 years. BY KAREN BRIERE, REGINA BUREAU

HE OUTCOME might have been much different if David Zerr and the other proponents of a 22,000-acre organized drainage project in east-central Saskatchewan were attempting the initiative today. The Langenburg East Conservation and Development Authority wanted to drain potholes and sloughs into the Assiniboine River in the early 1990s but ran into opposition from other landowners, conservation organizations and Manitoba residents downstream. The project was pitched as a more environmentally friendly way to drain water from farmland than the numerous illegal ditches that characterized the region. It never went ahead. “There was a very vocal minority (against it), and it just happened to be at the time when the province was getting out of the business of doing the technical work and financially contributing towards C and Ds (conservation and development authorities),” Zerr said. “Because of the amount of concern raised, it triggered a full environmental impact assessment, which essentially killed the project because of the cost involved.” Fast forward to September 2015 and the announcement of new provincial agricultural drainage regulations, the first major policy changes since 1984. The changes will be phased in over 10 years, but among them is a shift toward larger group projects as a way to curb illegal drainage by individuals. The Water Security Agency estimates there are between 100,000 and 150,000

quarter-sections of land with unapproved drainage works on them. “We believe that group projects and organized drainage are seen as a way to increase compliance, that we could get better projects if people could be working together,” Doug Johnson, the water agency’s executive director of special projects, said during a December workshop for producers. Well-planned, approved drainage works have benefited Saskatchewan farmers since provincial legislation authorized them to form conservation authorities in 1949. New conservation and development authorities have formed in the last few years, thanks to Growing Forward 2 programs that offer financial assistance for best management practices. The province now has more than 100 of these authorities, which along with 11 water association boards, manage 3,000 kilometres of drainage ditches for flood control and back flood irrigation, according to the Saskatchewan Conser-

This provides flood control for 4.5 million acres of farmland, but that’s just a fraction of the farmland in the province. Drainage has been a contentious issue for decades, but the last five years of heavy spring rain, a high water table and expanding wetlands have frustrated farmers. More have taken matters into their own hands, digging trenches to move water off their land before gaining approval from the WSA. The downstream recipients of that water have lodged complaints. In 2012, a group of concerned landowners took their complaints, some of which dated back to the 1980s, to the Saskatchewan legislature. They told then-environment minister

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 3, 2016

SASKATCHEWAN’S NEW DRAINAGE INITIATIVE Saskatchewan watersheds are at varying levels of risk due to drainage. In low risk areas there are no issues with ﬂooding, water quality or habitat loss. Medium risk watersheds will require more scrutiny to gain approval for drainage works. In high risk watersheds, ﬂooding, quality and habitat loss are all known issues and receiving drainage networks are stressed. These areas will require more mitigation. Extreme risk areas, such as the Quill Lakes, have no outlets and further drainage into these lakes will not be allowed.

Dustin Duncan that the province had to enforce its own legislation and stop illegal drainage. Speaking for the group, Barbara Onofreychuk of MacNutt said farmers didn’t have permits and were using backhoes to dig ditches large enough to drive a combine through. She said the complaint process wasn’t working because the province wasn’t taking action quickly enough. “It is pitting neighbour against neighbour,” she said at the time. As concerns and complaints mounted, the province launched a six-month online consultation in September 2013. About 500 responses led to the regulations that were released two years later. Eighty-eight percent of the respondents supported drainage, and 87 percent said a new policy was needed. Johnson said there was significant interest in forming new conservation and development authorities. The legislation allows landowners in a particular area to petition for an association. Two-thirds of the landowners must sign the petition for it to go ahead. Elected boards govern the proj-

ect. They can levy taxes and control the constructed works. Langenburg East may not have gone ahead, but Zerr has benefitted from the nearby Smith Creek Watershed project. The 250 millimetres of rain that fell in two days in 2014 resulted in flooding, most of it on farmland in the Rural Municipality of Churchbridge where he is a councillor. “There was losses to fields and crops, but our municipality did not even apply for disaster assistance,” Zerr said. “There were numerous roads that were topped, but because of the ongoing work the municipality has been doing, all of the major roads were holding back miles of water.” He said it takes four to six weeks for the water to move through, but peak discharges are lower. “A landowner upstream had over 100 acres of crop that was flooded, but the town (of Langenburg) was saved,” he said. “ T h o s e a re g o o d s c e na r i o s because if you have to take one for the team, so be it.” However, he said a better way is needed to compensate the one or two landowners who bear the finan-

cial costs of holding back water. Zerr is also vice-president of the Saskatchewan Farm Stewardship Association, which was formed in late 2011with a mandate to open the lines of communication about drainage. “We’re totally in favour of organized, engineered drainage,” he said. “It has to be done in the right way. We’re not in favour of ad hoc things.” The Water Security Agency sees it the same way. Johnson said there are advantages to having organized drainage with proper mitigation. The challenge now is to get farmers on side. “The pressure is on,” he said. “There needs to be some largescale behaviour changes on the landscape. We’re trying to move people from where they’ve been the past 20 years to a place where we get people into compliance.” karen.briere@producer.com SEE MORE STORIES ON PAGE 28

WATER MANAGEMENT

New regulations could make drainage easier

Okabena project a model of success

Water Security Agency estimates there are up to 150,000 quarters with non-compliant drainage BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Draining water from farmland could be easier under new Saskatchewan regulations, as long as downstream landowners agree. However, the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water Security Agency still expects complaints and hopes new procedures will deal with them more quickly. Farmers have always been able to drain water on their own land, but moving it elsewhere requires approval. The agency estimates there could be up to 150,000 quarters with drainage works that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply with the rules. Downstream landowners have complained for years about illegal drainage, leading to a backlog of WSA investigations. The backlog currently sits at about 200, in part because works built before 1981 were exempt from approval. The new regulations have

changed that while also simplifying the approval process. Dwayne Rowlett, manager of northern regional services for the Water Security Agency in Nipawin, said the changes include relaxed land control requirements. Agreements between neighbours to move water will be allowed as long as they satisfy all those downstream who could be affected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A year ago, if I was doing this talk, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be talking about easements,â&#x20AC;? he told a producer meeting in Earl Grey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to allow wr itten agre ements between parties.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Rowlett said easements are still a good idea because they are the most secure form of land control. Agreements work as long as the land remains in the same hands. Under the old legislated comp l a i n t p r o c e s s, p a r t i e s w h o couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree first requested assistance from the agency. Staff would

act as mediators. The outcome was a non-binding recommendation, and this phase took about six months, Rowlett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably 90 to 95 percent (of complaints) were resolved at this stage,â&#x20AC;? he said. Those that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resolved went to the formal complaint process, which required a $200 filing fee and involved a more detailed investigation, another report and an opportunity for appeal. Rowlett said the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preference was to close illegal works until approval was obtained. This process would take about another year. Doug Johnson, executive director of special projects at the water agency, said the process was cumbersome, and the complaints often became more about personal disputes than about water. Officials hope that including pre1981 works in the new regulations

will go a long way toward alleviating this problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The reason behind that is, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no difference in mitigating effects whether your works was built in 1980 or 1982,â&#x20AC;? environment minister Herb Cox said when he announced the new rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to simplify the situation. If we do get a complaint, before, we had to go out and investigate, we had to try and determine when the works was built in the first p l a c e. I f i t w a s p re - 1 9 8 1 , w e couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now if we receive a complaint, we contact the works owner and he needs to come in and make application for approval for the works and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same process as if it was a brand new one at that point in time.â&#x20AC;? The regulations are being phased in over 10 years to allow all these works to comply. karen.briere@producer.com

Moose Jaw watershed project tackles erosion BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Landowners who want to set up an organized drainage project could learn from one of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest, the Okabena Conservation and Development Area No.176. Initiated in 2011 by Moose Jaw River Watershed Stewards, the project covers 14,800 acres that drain from near Rouleau toward Moose Jaw. Watershed manager Tammy Myers said the organization identified the project to reduce sedimentation and improve water quality entering the Moose Jaw Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main channel. She said previous drainage projects had been attempted in the area in the 1960s and 1970s, but landowners couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree. Fourteen landowners got on board in 2011, and it now includes about 50 in two rural municipalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were open minded and could see the big picture of what this project meant to the environment and to their community,â&#x20AC;? Myers told a drainage conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It actually took more than six meetings to bring everyone together. Some were upset. A series of meetings need to be held to eventually engage those that need to be in the room.â&#x20AC;? Erosion control was the main reason for the project, but it quickly became apparent that forming a conservation and development association would allow for sustainability and producer control and governance of the water basin. Communication with producers is critical, she added. Talking to urban municipalities, in this case Moose Jaw, is also important because they will see the benefits of a controlled tributary that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contribute to peak flows, she said. Okabena cost $900,000 and took two years to build. Government contributed $280,000 through a pilot project program, but ongoing costs per acre for maintenance are levied on rural municipal taxes. Myers said it would help if more technical assistance was available and conservation and development legislation was updated to make it more compatible with how producers operate today. She said tests within Okabena have already shown a significant reduction in bacteria and nutrients entering the main channel because the water is now travelling more slowly and through a grassed natural waterway. Conservation and development associations require two-thirds of landowners to sign a petition to form it, and more can be added over time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you contribute water to that basin, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, essentially,â&#x20AC;?

ON-FARM FORECAST

Easy to install weather station useful tool Hourly forecasts help producers track storms or identify conditions such as wind speed to determine when to spray BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

On-farm weather stations have become much more affordable and useful, says a weather expert. Andrew Nadler, a consulting agricultural meteorologist with Peak HydroMet Solutions, said farmers can buy a good station, such as the Davis Vantage Pro 2, for less than $1,000. “This has really changed the landscape of agricultural meteorology,” he told Farm Credit Canada’s Ag Outlook 2016 conference. Instead of relying on information generated by an airport weather station that could be located 100 kilometres away, farmers can now easily and affordably monitor conditions in their fields. The weather stations are simple to install and operate. “Within 20 minutes you have a fully functional automated weather station,” he said. Farmers willing to spend $2,000 can get a more robust model such as the Spectrum WatchDog 2700, which is as accurate as the highend weather stations used by forecasters. Nadler strongly advocates joining a larger weather network in which weather station owners share their data.

There are several types of on-farm weather stations available that can give farmers local, accurate data. | FILE PHOTO A good network will allow farmers to view their own data as well as neighbouring stations. It should have an intuitive mobile platform because most farmers use

smartphones rather than desktop computers during the growing season. The network should be able to provide historical information

such as rainfall totals from past years. It should have radar functionality so that growers can see where a storm track is moving. As well, it is paramount that it has a good forecasting tool, including hourly forecasts. Nadler’s favourite network is the Weather Underground, which is free to anyone who owns a weather station. “This one is purely non-agricultural, but from a weather buff ’s point of view, this one is just great,” he said. It is owned by the Weather Company, which was recently bought by IBM. As a result, the biggest network of weather stations on the internet is about to get even bigger and better because of IBM’s big data expertise. Nadler said Weather Underground has an exceptional forecasting tool. “I’ve done a fair bit of work looking at the accuracy of this forecast, and I’ve been quite overwhelmed at just how accurate it is in terms of that hourly precision,” he said. It also has one of the best mobile apps in the business. WeatherFarm is Canada’s largest weather network with 1,650 stations in Western Canada. Nadler said it offers many of the same features as Weather Under-

ground but also has unique farmerspecific features such as Spraycast, which identifies the best times for spraying crops. Farmers input their spray boom height, and WeatherFarm uses conditions such as wind speed and temperature to calculate when it is a poor, fair or good time to spray over the next three days. “This is a really great product,” he said. Nadler has worked with Farmers Edge on its Field-Centric Weather network, which gives growers access to a dense field-specific network of stations. He also has a friend who runs SpotWx, a free website that compiles and compares dozens of complicated numerical weather models. “He has figured out a way to bring them all in and sort of display them in an intuitive way,” said Nadler. The site contains a map showing the forecast region for various models. One model might have a onedegree resolution that amounts to a 100 sq. kilometre region. Another may go down to two or three sq. km. Visitors to the site can look at what the various models are saying for their area and whether they are in agreement. sean.pratt@producer.com

Organic growers get new option with fertilizer made from plants The fertilizer produced in Alberta will be sold as pellets or crumble and initially will be available to greenhouses and market gardens BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Canadian organic farmers now have access to a new organic fertilizer. The fertilizer, which is manufactured at Wetaskiwin Co-op’s Country Junction processing plant in Wetaskiwin, Alta., is made from

fertilizing turf, but he expects the product will become an option for grain producers looking to supplement their existing fertilizer practices as it become more popular. “The organic grower always has so few choices. This will help achieve the proper balance of NPK,” he said. “Any organic fertilizer is usually about double the price of

conventional fertilizer.” Eric Schmidt, executive chair of BioRefinex Canada, came up with the idea of making organic fertilizer from plants. As well, BioRefinex recently bought land in Lacombe, Alta., to build a plant that will turn animal specified risk material, those thought to be vectors for BSE, into

safe byproducts, including fertilizer. He anticipated that the byproducts from the Lacombe plant will eventually be used in the organic fertilizer produced in Wetaskiwin. “This is for those of you who need a high quality organic fertilizer.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

WEATHER OUTLOOK

Dry summer looms as El Nino refuses to leave Precipitation this winter has been as low as 40 percent of normal in some parts of the Prairies, and a turnaround isn’t expected BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A lingering El Nino is diminishing the chance of La Nina arriving on the Prairies in time to turn conditions from hot and dry to cold and wet this growing season. Andrew Nadler, consulting agricultural meteorologist with Peak HydroMet Solutions, said the mild winter that El Nino has delivered to Western Canada has lasted longer than expected. It is the second strongest El Nino on record, ranking only behind 1997. El Ninos typically cause warm and dry conditions in the Canadian Prairies and cool and wet conditions in the southern United States. “That’s pretty much what we’ve

seen,” Nadler told Farm Credit Canada’s Ag Outlook 2016 conference. “We’re seeing quite a dry year for precipitation.” Precipitation from Nov. 1 to Feb. 23 has been 40 to 85 percent of normal for most of Alberta and Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan. Nadler said most of the Prairies received 50 millimetres of moisture during that time. Environment Canada’s outlook for February, March and April calls for above average temperatures and normal precipitation across most of the Prairies. There is plenty of debate in the forecasting community over whether a La Nina will follow the strong El Nino event. “The models are really not in

SASKATCHEWAN PROTECTION PROGRAM

Forage insurance coverage hits record $216 per acre BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. is beefing up its forage protection program for this year with higher coverage. Provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said forage insurance is sometimes overlooked. “2016 insured prices are up more than 30 percent and forage establishment coverage has increased from $55 an acre to $70 per acre,” he said. SCIC announced details of this year’s program Feb. 25 and said it is offering the highest coverage in its 55-year history. The 2016 budget is $166 million, and coverage levels are increasing to a record $216 per acre on average, up from $183 per acre, or 18 percent, from last year. Premiums per acre are rising 11 percent on average to $7.84 per acre from $7.06 in 2015. “The premium rate that we actually charged producers went down about seven percent because of our good fund balance ($1.6 billion),” said SCIC president Shawn Jacques. “The insured value per crop went up by 15 percent, and there’s also an increase in the area yields that we offer producers (of) around two percent.… That would be why the coverage per acre went up about 18 percent.” Expanded options for fababean

coverage are new this year. The insurable area has expanded province-wide to reflect the rapid increase in acres of fababeans beyond northern growing regions. As well, producers of Khorasan wheat can now receive individual coverage for their farm, which was previously based on area averages.

Current, Sask., ranges from moist to wet with a few dr y pockets around Yorkton, Sask., Weyburn, Sask., and Brandon. Nadler doesn’t think there will be enough spring rain to make the wet areas flood.

Environment Canada has a MayJuly forecast calling for an equal probability of it being wetter or drier than normal across much of the Prairies. “The models at this point are showing a slight tendency to above average precipitation,” said Nadler.

Establishment benefit values are also increasing for soybeans, lentils, barley and Khorasan. Ryan Beierbach, chair of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, said changes to the forage insurance program are more in line with what producers want. SCIC said it has removed the cap on the forage insurance variable and in-season price option, which will allow for an increase in the market price of forage to be reflected in the claim payments of producers who select those options. william.dekay@producer.com

FOOD SAFETY CAMPAIGN

Activists press U.S. restaurant on antibiotic policy U.S. consumer groups push for fast food chain to halt the use of drugs important to human medicine in raising beef LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Reuters) — Public interest groups have targeted another restaurant chain in their push to convince high-profile food sellers to stop serving meat from animals fed a routine diet of antibiotics. The new campaign from the Calpirg Education Fund, Friends of the Earth, the Center for Food Safety and other groups was launched amid growing concern that the overuse of such drugs is contributing to increasing numbers of lifethreatening human infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Privately held In-N-Out, which has more than 300 restaurants in

Our company is committed to beef that is not raised with antibiotics important to human medicine, and we’ve asked our suppliers to accelerate their progress toward establishing antibiotic alternatives. KEITH BRAZEAU , IN-N-OUT

California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas and Oregon, is known for using fresh ingredients such as never-frozen ground beef and hand-cut french fries. Activists are pressing the company to follow the lead of popular chains such as Chipotle Mexican

Grill Inc., Panera Bread Co. and Shake Shack Inc., which already serve meat raised without the routine use of antibiotics. “It’s time for the company to set a strong antibiotics policy that will help push the meat industry to do the right thing for public health,”

said Jason Pfeifle, public health advocate for the Calpirg Education Fund. Keith Brazeau, vice-president of quality for In-N-Out, said it is heading in that direction. “Our company is committed to beef that is not raised with antibiotics important to human medicine, and we’ve asked our suppliers to accelerate their progress toward establishing antibiotic alternatives.” However, he did not lay out a timeline for that change. Such campaigns have been gaining traction among mainstream fast-food restaurant companies.

Notably, McDonald’s Corp. has set a 2017 deadline for its switch to chicken raised without antibiotics that are important to human medicine. The Subway sandwich chain has also committed to move away from all meat raised on antibiotics. California governor Jerry Brown last year signed a bill that set the country’s strictest government standards for the use of antibiotics in livestock production. The bill goes into effect Jan. 1, 2018, and will restrict the regular use of antibiotics for disease prevention and ban antibiotic use to fatten animals.

BLACK SEA PORT

Cargill joins venture on Ukraine grain terminal KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) —Cargill and Ukraine’s M.V. Cargo plan to build and operate a grain terminal at Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Yuzhny under a $100 million joint venture agreement. The terminal, near Ukraine’s biggest port city of Odessa, will have an annual loading capacity of five million tonnes of grain and other commodities, said infrastructure minister Andriy Pivovarsky. Ukraine, which is set to export a record amount of grain this year, has said it wants to double loading capacity for grain exports from its ports over the next few years. “ T h ro u g h t h i s i nv e s t m e nt, Ukraine’s port infrastructure will be expanded and will provide greater efficiencies to connect Ukraine’s surplus agricultural crops with the parts of the world demanding more food,” said Andreas Rickmers, head of Cargill’s grains and oilseeds business in Europe. “It will add to our footprint of port facilities in the Black Sea region and confirms our intention to keep investing in Ukraine’s agricultural sector.” Cargill said construction of the terminal would begin this month and was expected to be completed by the spring of 2018. Odessa-based MV Cargo will finance the project with private funds as well as a loan, currently under discussion, from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Finance Corporation, a Cargill spokesperson said. The joint venture will operate the terminal and Cargill will be a major customer, but the facility will also be open to third parties, she said. Ukraine is able to ship 35 million tonnes of grain from its sea ports, but the government has said it wants to double export loading capacity within the next five years. Ukraine is likely to export a record 37 million tonnes of grain this season.

ing the “delicatessen of Asia” by capitalizing on strong Asian demand for high-end produce, which saw the value of the country’s agricultural exports increase to $44 billion last year. “The government is committed to fostering a vibrant and competitive agriculture industry to ensure that Australian agribusinesses are well placed to seize opportunities both at home and in emerging global markets,” said Australian treasurer Scott Morrison. Rod Sims, chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), said oversight of the country’s agriculture sector was “a new priority” this year. Mick Keogh, a cattle producer and former industry body executive, was appointed to a five-year term as an ACCC commissioner and will likely take on Australia’s sugar industry as an early priority. The industry is the world’s third largest raw sugar exporter. Relations between growers and sugar millers have soured in recent months after several large producers announced plans to stop selling their sugar through an industry-owned marketing body, raising fears among farmers of lower prices. Wilmar International Ltd., MSF Sugar, which is owned by Thai sugar giant Mitr Phol, and the Australian unit of Chinese agribusiness COFCO Corp. had planned to switch to in-house marketing arms next year. Queensland passed a bill in December that will allow sugar farmers to choose who sells their produce, undermining the plans of the foreign millers. The three offshore processors have called on regulators to overturn the law. Keogh will also be tasked with ensuring the country’s supermarkets do not abuse their power. Coles, owned by Wesfarmers Ltd., Australia’s biggest retail group, was fined $10 million in 2014 after it was found to have used undue pressure to extract $16 million in rebate payments from 200 farmers in relation to apparent supply chain improvements. “I’m hoping that ... we show to the Australian people that we are doing everything in our power to open the markets, to turn around the prices, as well as to make sure that we get the research and development right,” said deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce.

ALBERTA CONFERENCE

Horse ownership doesn’t need to break bank Opportunities exist to reduce costs BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER — Horses don’t have to be money pits and drain their owners’ bank accounts, an American veterinarian told a group of horse owners. There are ways horse owners can reduce the bills that come along with caring for the animals, Dr. David Ramey told the Alberta Horse Conference. “We want to do what is right for the horse, but we also want to do what is right for the horse owner,” said Ramey, who encouraged a critical look at at costs. Owners can do little about fixed costs like feed, farrier services and some veterinary care, but there are ways to make cuts. Weighing hay and feeding only the recommended feed can save 10 to 15 percent of hay costs. Farriers often arrange their visits according to their schedule, but delaying trims or shoes by a week could save at least one farrier bill a year, he said. “If the toes aren’t getting long and the shoes not falling off, then wait an extra week. Those extra weeks may translate into one less shoeing per year.” Ramey suggested revisiting the deworming routine.

Horse owners can reduce costs of caring for their animals while still ensuring proper treatment. | “Identify and deworm the high shedders, but check the other ones a couple times a year and deworm as needed. If a horse doesn’t need medicine, why give it medicine?” The potential to cut variable costs for products like fancy blankets, custom made saddles, supplements and injections are where

owners can really cut expenses. “It’s really easy to go overboard when it comes to caring for your horse and I don’t want you to do that. I want you to control your variable costs.” Ramey said horse owners need to ask critical questions before forking over money for horse care.

ROBIN WHEAT PHOTO

Owners should ask why a specific drug or test is recommended, as well as which supplements or injections are needed and why. The recommended treatment may be the latest or most expensive treatment but it may not be the only treatment, he said. Ramey said the world is not likely

to end if you don’t do a particular treatment. Turning a horse into the corral to recover may be just as effective as having X-rays and ultrasounds and having the same conclusion. “Most injuries, if you give them enough time, they’ll get better on their own.”

EQUINE LAMINITIS

Laminitis vaccine shows promise but funding proves difficult BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER — Researchers have found a solution for equine laminitis but are waiting for a white knight to ride up with a bucket of cash to develop it. Equine lameness, which is also known as founder, affects only three to five percent of horses. However, it is usually career ending and often life ending for those that develop the condition, said Dr. David Wilson of the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine. “It is a very severe condition if it affects your horse,” Wilson said. The racehorse Secretariat and Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro both developed laminitis and were euthanized. Secretariat developed laminitis from something in the diet, and Barbaro developed laminitis after

shattering his leg in the Preakness and putting weight on the other feet. The vaccine developed at the university protected slightly more than 80 percent of the horses in the study, but it has been difficult finding a drug company willing to manufacture it. Horses on a hay diet are not prone to laminitis, and horses on drier pasture grasses, such as those in Saskatchewan, are not likely to develop the disease. “It would be a valuable vaccine for horses on lush grass or have the possibility of grain overload,” Wilson told the recent Alberta Horse Industry Conference. “If you are in an area where grass founder is a common scenario, then I would look at it as an annual vaccination,” said Wilson. Most laminitis cases result from gastrointestinal upset, whether it is grain overload or founder on grass

pasture. “Grass founder is the same as grain overload,” he said. “During certain periods of time, with certain grasses, especially rye grasses, the highly digestible carbohydrates within the grass goes up and down. When highly digestible carbohydrates are high in the grass and horses grazing on them, they can overload, while just grazing.” Wilson said the hoof wall is a

complex structure that dovetails together. Tissues rip apart and detach from the bone when the hoof begins to fail, which creates a painful condition that can often cause the feet to rotate or drop off. Australian researchers found that laminitis in the early stages can be controlled by submerging the horse’s feet up to their knees in ice water to lower the hoof temperature to 3 to 5C. The horse will still develop the stomach upset component of the disease but not hoof lesions. “The ice bath applied prior to the development of the lesions on the foot works really well,” said Wilson. American researchers found that horses subjected to grain overload will cause laminitis, but a pretreatment with the antibiotic virginiamycin will prevent its development. Horses with overload are continually bombarded with exotoxins.

“If the exotoxins overload the body’s ability to deal with it, then the horses are more likely to develop a problem.” The Saskatoon researchers wanted to evaluate the efficacy of an exotixin vaccine to prevent overload-induced laminitis. A control group of five horses was not given vaccines, while a second group of 24 horses was vaccinated three times a week at three-week intervals. All horses were subjected to carbohydrate overload four weeks after the last vaccination. Twenty horses remained sound and four vaccinated horses developed a degree of lameness but not as severe as those with no vaccine. The non-vaccinated horses developed full-blown laminitis and were humanely euthanized. mary.macarthur@producer.com

RED DEER — Western Canadian farmers may get into their fields earlier this year, thanks to the warming effects of El Nino. “You have had a lot of cold springs and this is going to be a nice warm one,” said Art Douglas, a climatologist and professor emeritus from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. Douglas provides long-range forecasts to commodity groups and researches climate patterns. He is predicting more storms and wild weather for the United States, but Western Canada can expect near ideal growing conditions. “I would say your growing season will be a pretty supreme growing season compared to what is going to happen in the United States,” he told the Alberta Beef Industry conference, which was held in Red Deer Feb. 17-18. British Columbia is likely to be dry during the growing season with 50 to 100 less millimetres of precipitation than normal. Alberta and Saskatchewan are expected to be normal to slightly above with 25 more millimetres of moisture than usual. Douglas is predicting a hot summer in the U.S. corn belt for the first time in four years. The markets would be affected if the crop becomes stressed. August is expected to be especially hot and some of that heat could spread north, but no intense drought is expected. Eastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba may endure a wet September, but October should be dry and warm. The current El Nino has significantly affected global weather for the past two years. There is evidence it is winding down, but some forecast groups suggest that a moderate El Nino could return in fall because warm water is returning to the central Pacific Ocean. “The newest models for the central Pacific indicates El Nino is going to come back,” he said. “Something is going on here. The idea of three years in a row of El Nino is quite exceptional. You would have to go back to 1939 to 1942 to get this type of event.… Something is a little screwed up in the terms of weather patterns.” The current El Nino is one of the top two or three events on record. The last two powerful ones were in 1982 and 1997-98. El Ninos occur when warm water on the equator heats the atmosphere, which results in more evaporation. This creates convection currents above the warm water pool, which causes drought in Indonesia, northern Brazil, Australia and South Africa. Wet conditions in southeastern South America, especially in Argentina, were common during this El Nino. “El Nino has a broad impact on worldwide weather patterns,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Agriculture Manufacturers of Canada hopes the Liberal government will fulfill a election pledge to support innovation in the agriculture sector. Prime minister Justin Trudeau promised during last year’s federal election campaign to spend $100 million a year for three years on the Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP), which is an innovation assistance program for small and medium-sized business.

our membership,” Olson said. “It can be the difference between launching a new product within the next year versus launching a new product in five years.” IRAP is one of the few government programs that AMC members broadly use, she said. “We are very entrepreneurial. We invest our own dollars into the development of new technologies, and we don’t rely heavily on government funding or tax rebates,” Olson said. “When they are investing into innovation, these dollars can help them immediately, they can hire an engineer to do some prototyping and testing.” The financial outlook has changed since last fall’s election, which has raised concerns about the government’s ability to follow through on election promises. Finance minister Bill Morneau recently said the federal deficit will balloon to $18.4 billion in 2016-17 and $15.5 billion in 2017-18, and this projection does not include new spending. Three months ago the deficit was projected to be $3.9-billion in 2016-17 and $2.4 in 2017-18. Olson said fulfilling this commitment would send a clear message that the government is serious about its innovation agenda.

THE REAL STORY OF AG

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

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

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

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

W I N N I P E G — Fa l l i n g f a r m income and rising input costs mean Canadian producers will be in a tough financial position this year, says National Farmers Union president Jan Slomp. Farmer’s net cash income is expected to drop this year, declining nine percent to $13.6 billion, according to a 2016 outlook released by Agriculture Canada. It’s lower than last year’s recordhigh net income but is still 14 percent higher than the 2010-14 average. However, Slomp said 2016 will still be a hard year for producers. “I really expect big trouble,” he said. “We are really in a tougher position than ever before.” Slomp said higher input costs for equipment, fertilizer and chemicals are causing financial stress for farmers. In Alberta, a combine that cost $380,600 in January 2015 was $451,000 this past January, according to research from Alberta Agriculture. A tractor that cost $120,000 in 2015 will now cost $139,000. “Our equipment is very costly and it has been handling more acres,” Slomp said. He said the falling loonie has benefited farmers in some aspects, such as boosting the competitiveness of Canadian commodities, but it also increases the cost of fertilizer produced in the United States. “It’s going to be very hard because the input costs have shot up … fertilizer costs, chemical costs, and we have become way more dependent on doing way more acres with the same man hours,” he said. Phosphorus-based fertilizer and herbicides are marginally more expensive now than they were in January 2015, according to Alberta Agriculture, and prices for phosphorus and nitrogenbased fertilizer tend to increase in spring. However, farmers may be in a better position to deal with volatility in commodity prices and the associated income fluctuation because their debt-to-asset ratio has narrowed in recent years. Farmers had taken on $5 billion more in liabilities as of Dec. 31, 2014, which is the most recently reported data from Statistics Canada on farm debt, but they also narrowed the debt-to-asset ratio to 15.2 percent, which is the lowest recorded since 1997. However, analysts point out that a large amount of farmers’ assets are land, which is not a liquid asset. “If you look at land appreciation, we’ve done very well, but you can’t live off that,” Slomp said. “A lot of farmers have bought extensive land, and we’ll be in a crunch.”

GOVERNMENT POLICY

TRANSPORTATION

Liberals encouraged to undo previous cuts

Spring road bans come early

WINNIPEG BUREAU

The federal government should restore some of the agriculture programs and services that the former Conservative government cut, says a left-wing think-tank. Other programs that were damaged, downsized or degraded should see their roles returned, said the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives’ new Reversing the Damage report. The cutbacks discussed in the report include some specific to farming and agriculture: • cutting jobs at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency • ending the beef cattle research program at Brandon’s research centre • closing Winnipeg ’s Cereals Research Centre and moving its functions to other places • dismantling the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration and removing the key federal role in community pastures • abandoning the federal role at the shelter belt research program in Indian Head, Sask., and the program’s subsequent collapse. “The recently elected Liberal par ty has the oppor tunity to reverse the damage caused by the cuts,” writes report author Lynne Fernandez. “These programs were cut by the Conservatives despite the abundance of evidence — in some cases over decades — that they delivered important economic, social and environmental results. Reactivating these programs would go a long way towards protecting a valuable and unique ecosystem and supporting agricultural production on Canada’s Prairies.” The CCPA wants the Liberal government to restore the Cereals Research Centre to the University of Manitoba, restore the beef cattle program at Brandon’s Agriculture

Canada research centre, retain control of community pastures still under federal ownership and oversee ones already handed off to patron groups to make sure environmental and social concerns are maintained. It also wants the federal government to work with the Manitoba government and Manitoba municipalities on their oversight of community pastures in that province. As well, it asks the government to study the badly degraded shelter belt program at Indian Head to see if it can be salvaged. ed.white@producer.com

WINNIPEG — Spring road bans are starting to be put into place across Western Canada as temperatures warm up. The annual restrictions set axle weight limits for vehicles moving on certain roads in an effort to reduce the damage that heavier loads can cause during the spring thaw period. Grain and equipment movement can both be affected by the spring road bans because producers may need to find alternate routes or haul smaller loads.

The duration of the restrictions will depend on local weather conditions but typically last from April to May. • Alberta: Spring road bans of 75 to 90 percent of normal axle w e i g ht s w e re p u t i n p l a c e Feb. 11 for many roads. It was two weeks earlier than the previous year. Full details of affected roads are available from the province’s transportation ministry. • Saskatchewan: Weight restrictions were implemented in many parts of the province Feb. 22, and the zone will expand in the coming weeks. The

province’s highways and infrastructure ministry provides weekly updates on affected roads. • Manitoba: Spring road bans are set to come into effect March 11 and remain in place until May 31. The restrictions vary de-pending on the road, level 1 roads restricted to 90 percent of normal loading and level 2 roads restricted to 65 percent of normal loading. Full details are available through the province’s infrastructure and transportation department.

RESEARCH

Group focuses on extension BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Agricultural Institute of Canada wants to help ensure that worthwhile agriculture research results are not ignored. Its members will gather in Ottawa this spring to find ways to spread the news about groundbreaking discoveries. “It is nice to talk about research, but how is the research being used and how does it get disseminated to the end users?” said chief executive officer Serge Buy. Government, scientists, commodity groups, producers and companies recently produced an agricultural research policy. The April 13-14 conference is expected to discuss bridging the gap between research and the public and improving the flow of information from laboratories to the field. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ECONOMIC FORECAST

Expert has grim outlook on Alberta’s economy Economist doesn’t expect an exodus of people from the province because ‘there are not really a lot of other places doing much better’ BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — If Todd Hirsch was a betting man, he would lay odds on the Canadian dollar falling and the price of crude oil crashing below $20 per barrel. “For 2015-16, I would say there is a growing sense of anxiety about the future of the province,” he said at the Alberta beef industry conference held in Red Deer Feb. 18-19. “I think the next four to six months could be the worst of this downturn,” he said. As chief economist for the Alberta based bank ATB, he speculated

that agriculture could be one of the bright lights for the future. However, with so much emphasis placed on the fortunes of the petroleum industry, it may be overlooked. Considering probabilities around certain events, he said the odds are 75 to one that oil could return to a healthier US$80 per barrel. The 12 nation OPEC cartel has been pumping out as much oil into the market as possible to drive down prices. OPEC would have to change policies for the oil price trend to turn around and Canada, the United States, Russia and Brazil would

have to curtail their output as well. “We would also need demand to pick up strongly,” he said. That would require the economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China to rebound. However Brazil and Russia are in recession, while India’s and China’s economies

have softened. Pessimistically, oil could drop to $10- $20 a barrel. “This is a scenario that people in Alberta have to recognize is out there,” he said. The likeliest scenario is oil at $5055 by the end of the year. For the

first half of the year the market will be volatile as it seeks bottom. Consequently, the petroleum industry will continue to whittle down its costs resulting in more job losses. The fortunes of oil have fallen before but unlike the 1980s, interest rates are record low. He does not expect the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates in 2016. The value of the loonie will follow and could go down to 67 cents. “I don’t know if we have seen the end of the rout on the Canadian dollar yet because it moves in sympathy with oil prices,” he said. The Alberta labour market is also in upheaval and unemployment could hit eight percent, placing it above the national rate as the energy sector continues to shed workers. The last time Alberta was in this position was 1988. For the most part the provincial job market is stable at around four percent. “I don’t expect stampedes of people leaving like we saw in the ’80s. The main reason for that is when you look at the Canadian economy there are not really a lot of other places that are doing much better,” he said. Thirty years ago there were good high paying union jobs in southern Ontario but that is not the case this time. However, British Columbia is in the unusual position of leading growth across Canada, especially in the Lower Mainland with increasing construction and manufacturing jobs. The housing market is also shaky with moderate price drops of five to 10 percent. Calgary will get hit harder than Edmonton with a worst case scenario being real estate falling by 20 percent. Hirsch does not anticipate a wave of foreclosures. A typical mortgage is four percent and most households have two incomes that could help prevent defaults. Agriculture could be in a brighter position. Diversification is a common talking point for governments but no one seems to define who should do it or what should be done. “For decades governments with different policies have tried to create more diversity and by and large they have been under whelming in their success,” he said. This time round a more diversified economy a year from now could result. Diverse industries like forestry, agriculture and tourism are growing. Hirsch hopes to see new industries come to Alberta because conditions are right for it. “When the petroleum industry is on fire and oil is at $100 it turns into something of a black hole that sucks everything into its gravity.” It takes all the office space and workers while other industries struggle to compete against it. Labour costs are coming down, office space and industrial land are available so that might encourage others to come and start new businesses. “What Alberta’s economy is going through right now is not temporary. It will fundamentally change.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

“I am very impressed with the wear on our VW12FCC drill points from VW Manufacturing.

We recommend the VW product to anyone looking for great wear and value in their drill points.” — Leonard Schock—Vida, MT

CFA MEETING

Canada, Mexico cozy up on trade BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Canadian agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay and Mexican agriculture secretary Jose Calzada pledged more collaboration between their two countries after meetings last week. Calzada even suggested an app to help producers find markets in each country. “Canada is more than a trade partner,” he said at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting. “Canada is a friend, a strategic ally.” The two have been partners in the North American Free Trade Agreement for more than 20 years and worked together to successfully challenge the U.S. country-of-origin labelling legislation. Bilateral trade is worth about $3.5 billion a year. “Canada is now the leading supplier of canola in Mexico,” said MacAulay. Mexico has increased avocado exports to Canada by 50 percent in the last three years alone, he added. He said he sees further co-operative opportunities in establishing international food standards so trading partners are on level playing fields. The two ministers met privately and then participated in a panel presentation to talk about competitiveness, sustainability and consumer preferences. Calzada said Mexican banks are increasing loans to the agricultural sector at a large rate but are still only financing 15 to 20 percent of the primary sector’s needs. Other countries finance 70 to 80 percent of primary agriculture, he said, and the Mexican government continues to raise the matter because farmers need tools to be competitive. “We want the banks to finance the primary sector,” he said. Innovation in research and marketing will also help Mexican farmers be more competitive, he added. MacAulay said the low dollar is boosting exports and shielding Canadian farmers from lower commodity prices and trade barriers such as consumer trends. He said the Canadian government strongly supports trade and would continue to reduce “costly impediments” to it. “We absolutely need a free and fair trading system,” he said. “I’m going to continue to work hard with industry to make that happen.” Calzada identified a trend in buying and selling online and said there are many small producers of mangos, pineapples and watermelons who don’t know how to contact Canadian buyers. They have smartphones but don’t know how to find markets for their crops. He suggested a MexicoCanada app would help. “I’m willing to be in charge of this,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

PRECISION AGRICULTURE

Transport Canada gives eBee thumbs up The Stealth bomber wanna-be is built with safety in mind and is fully UAV compliant BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

CALGARY — The delta wing eBee precision agricultural drone is based on the latest aerodynamic technology. It carries a payload of powerful imaging technology with six sensors from which to choose. Brent Chenier of Ag Business and Crop in Calgary said the eBee weighs 1.5 pounds when the camera and battery are installed. “It’s constructed of high density foam and carbon fibre to save weight. Foam serves as a cushion to protect the electronics and also so the whole aircraft survives mishaps,” said Chenier, whose company is a dealer for the Swiss-built unmanned aerial vehicle. “The foam has the approximate density and squish as the hard foam used in gym equipment. Engineers spent a lot of time optimizing safety factors. As a result, Transport Canada has deemed eBee to be the first fully compliant small UAV. The light weight along with the delta design makes it very efficient.” The aircraft has a wingspan of 38 inches and is powered by a brushless 11.1 volt motor with a push propeller. The wings detach in seconds, allowing the entire unit to be packed into its carrying case. It’s an easy matter to carry spare wings and quickly install them in the field in the event of damage. EBee has a maximum flight time of 45 minutes. The number of acres that are covered in that period depends on flying conditions and how the drone is programmed. The aircraft is fully autonomous. The operator works out a flight plan in advance and can customize for swath width, overlap and field shape. A radio tracker has a range of more than 2.5 kilometres. “It also lets the operator compensate for perpendicular flight loss in windy conditions,” Chenier said. “It factors in flying with the wind, against the wind and in cross winds. That ensures that your data is gathered accurately and consistently regardless of conditions.” Proponents of drone helicopters argue that they have an advantage in field scouting and mapping because of their ability to quickly stop and inspect specific spots in a field. However, Chenier said the eBee flight planning software has

options that can allow for quick adjustments and manoeuvres when climbing, descending or rolling. “You can’t stop and hover, but you can go back and move in for a closer look at certain areas,” he said. “We have a ground sampling distance (GSD) down to two centimetres per pixel.” Six sensors are available, but only one can be installed at a time: • Canon S110 NIR: This custom-

ized 12 mega pixel sensor is controlled by the autopilot. It captures image data in the near infrared band, where high plant reflectance occurs. Images are used for biomass measurement, growth monitoring, crop discrimination and leaf area indexing. • Canon S11 RE: This camera differs from the NIR by capturing data in the red edge band where crop reflectance changes from low to high. This information is used to assess plant stress, chlorophyll, drought stress and crop senescence. • Canon S11 RGB: It captures regular images that humans see in the normal light spectrum. These images are used in real colour 2D and 3D aerial photography to check chlorophyll levels and evaluate drainage patterns. • Multispec 4C: This unit features four individual 1.2 megapixel sensors, each tuned to its own precise band and each with its

own shutter for better image control. It also has a sensor mounted on the top of the eBee to take light readings of available light, thus ensuring that cloud or sun conditions don’t skew image data. Uses include biomass measurement, leaf area indexing, nitrogen recommendations and phenology. • ThermoMap: These types of maps are used for checking irrigation, plant stress analysis and other water related assessments. • Sequoia: This multi-spectral sensor will be released this month. It will have a sensor on top to help compensate for exposure and light conditions. Details will be released soon, but it is expected to cost about $6,000. Chenier said the base price of the eBee will be more than $10,000. For more information, contact Chenier at 403-830-5014 or visit www.agbusiness.ca. ron.lyseng@producer.com

THE DELTA DESIGN The delta design is here to stay. Stealth bombers and fighter jets have already made that point. Boeing says their new 1,000 passenger 797 increases the vital lift to drag ratio by an unprecedented 50 percent. Overall weight reduction of 25 percent makes the 797 roughly 33 percent more efficient than the latest conventional tube-and-wing jet such as the A380. Blended delta wing aircraft have higher body rigidity, thus reducing stress on the air frame, reducing turbulence and reducing energy consumption. Is it any wonder UAV drone engineers are adapting the delta design, even in battery powered aircraft.

TECHNOLOGY

Information overload: making sense of precision ag data BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

CALGARY — The constant introduction of newer and better datacollection technology can leave many precision farmers and consultants scratching their heads. There’s not much point in wasting time or money logging field data that will never be used, says Lewis Baarda, a GIS specialist with Farming Smarter in Lethbridge. Baarda analyzed various types of data maps last year with the goal of determining which might be the most valuable. The Farming Smarter team figured that maps with the highest correlation to each other held the best information about what the soil can do. Maps that were way out of the ballpark probably had little or no value. “We started with 15 layers of field data, and that was a real mess,” Baarda told the recent Tactical Farming conference in Calgary. Different coverage, gaps, overlaps and shifting GPS points all made the stack of 15 layers even more of a mess, he added. They eventually whittled down the list to four meaningful maps that had good visual correlations. The finalists included electrical conductivity, yield, organic matter and topography. Yield maps should theoretically provide the most valuable information, and sometimes they do. Other times they’re worse than nothing. “Yield maps have a strong correlation to the others, but you can’t always trust them,” Baarda said. “If your yield monitor isn’t quite perfect when the crop is ready to combine, do you go combining anyway or do you waste time fixing the monitor? It’s not viewed as an essential part of the combine, and that’s why the data isn’t always reliable. “Organic matter is useful if there’s good data, but I’m not sure we can always trust the data. Topography is a simple one to get with your GPS. “EC can provide good information, but for us it was a real challenge to get the EC hooked up to a computer and then hook that computer up to GPS so we could get everything working together on the same map. Operationally, that takes technical expertise that not everyone has.” The Veris EC mapping trailer has been on the market for 20 years. Most agronomists agree electrical conductivity can be useful, but few farm supply outlets have a Veris or Em38. Baarda speculated that the technical hurdles of getting it all work together might be the problem. However, the struggle to get it to all work together extends far beyond EC and yield maps. Baarda

said little of the data that’s been collected over the years is ever used. “There’s a good reason for that,” he said. “The software out there is not user-friendly. It’s not flexible. You spend $8,000 or $10,000 for a

monitor in your combine and what do you get? Five functions. It’s a challenge to do much more than just look at maps. Your smartphone can let you do that. Integrating meaningful data is difficult. “Instead of collecting a pile of

data layers you can’t use, I’d urge farmers to pick just a small number of maps their software can handle. Two or three or four, maximum. Keep it simple. If I had to pick just two, I’d go with yield and EC. If you pay to have EC data mapped, that

data should be good for five to 10 years.” For more information, contact Baarda at 403-381-5118 or visit www.farmingsmarter.com. ron.lyseng@producer.com

BEAN PRODUCTION

Growers seeing fababeans as lentil, pea alternative The crop tolerates wet soil, which has been an issue in recent years BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Fababeans are a small-acre crop in Western Canada, but they have become an increasingly popular choice with growers. The crop’s prairie acreage doubled in 2015 from the previous year, said Sherrilyn Phelps, the agronomy and seed program manager at Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. “We can assume that we were close to 200,000 acres as of last year in Western Canada,” she told a farm conference in Saskatoon earlier this year. “Alberta has been leading the way in terms of acres, and Saskatchewan actually tripled the acres last year.” Saskatchewan farmers grew the crop mainly around Saskatoon in the dark, moist brown to black soil zones. “The reason it’s most suited to those soil zones is that it does like moisture, it does tolerate wet feet and it is a good fit for areas that have been having troubles with growing peas,” Phelps said. Fababean varieties have greater resistance to aphanomyces than peas and lentils have and about the

same as chickpeas. Approximately 300 millimetres of rain are required to achieve 44 bushel per acre yields. The crop has much better standability than peas, which can make harvest easier. Fababeans can fix up to 95 percent of their nitrogen needs, which makes it the highest nitrogen-fixing legume crop grown on the Prairies.

SHERRILYN PHELPS SASKATCHEWAN PULSE GROWERS

“Under dry land, fababeans fix about 80 to 160 pounds of nitrogen,” Phelps said. “There are some reports that they can fix up to 250 lb. of nitrogen, but that would be under higher water conditions and irrigation.” The variety guide says fababeans

need 105 to 109 days to reach maturity, depending on the variety, but Phelps said producers should count on 110 to 111 days. Days to maturity are similar to canaryseed, Canadian Prairie Spring wheat and soft red spring wheat, and the crop requires a shorter season than hemp and soybeans. Tannin and non-tannin varieties are available. The tannin varieties’ seeds are browner and geared for the higher value food market. Growers need to pay close attention to seed size when planting because it is highly variable in fababeans. “There is seed size anywhere from 335 grams thousand kernel weight, which is slightly larger than the largest pea we have out there, all the way up to 680,” Phelps said. “This has a huge impact when calculating the seeding rates.” Producers will usually have to seed 2.6 to five bushels per acre, and sometime even more, to achieve a target plant population of 45 plants per sq. metre. “Last year we had seed kernel weight that was 805 gram thousand kernel weight, absolutely huge, and they should have been seeded at six bushels to the acre.”

Fababean acres are increasing in Western Canada in part because they are more resistant to aphanomyces than peas and lentils. | FILE PHOTO

The high seeding rates and large seed often force producers to slow down to one to two m.p.h. to avoid plugging their seeders. Growers have had problems with the large seed crushed by the meter roller in the seeder and plugging the distributor head, tubes and boots. She said growers can ask seed suppliers to sort seeds according to size and provide smaller seeds. “It doesn’t have any impact on what the size is when you harvest. It will just allow you to have a lower seeding rate.” Saskatchewan crop insurance data from 2014 showed that two low tannin varieties accounted for 50 percent of fababean acres, while tannin varieties had 25 percent of acres. The final 25 percent were categorized as unknown. Fababeans are open pollinated and will cross pollinate with a nearby fababean crop, so growers need to be careful when deciding where to grow the crop. “If your neighbour is growing fababeans or you are choosing to grow two different kinds of fababeans, you want to make sure that you’re growing similar varieties or at least the same type, both tannin or non tannin,” Phelps said. She said cross pollination won’t affect the seed that is grown, but a mixture of plants will be grown the following year if the harvested seed is planted. Phelps said there is an indication that lower tannin varieties may be at higher risk for seedling diseases because they don’t have the tannins in the seed coat that can help fight them off. “Seed treatment will be more important for those low tannin varieties,” she said. Fababeans are a big seed and need to soak in lots of water to get started in spring. As a result, growers must make sure to seed them into water. The crop is seeded five to eight centimetres deep. “It is a crop that you can put in early,” Phelps said. “It tolerates frost in the spring, and it should be the first crop that you get in. As soon as you can get on the land, you can put fababeans in.” A 50 bushel per acre fababean crop will take up 100 pounds of phosphorus, but like other pulses, they don’t respond well to additional phosphorus. Instead, they are good scavengers and can access existing phosphorus within the soil zone “Fababeans remove about 1.1 to 1.3 pounds of phosphorus for every bushel produced,” she said. “So that’s what you want to re-

place. So if you have a 50 bu. fababean crop, you’re taking out 60 lb. Eventually that 60 lb. has to go back in.” Fababean-specific inoculants are available, but the rhizobium species that nodulate fababeans are the same as for peas and lentils and products for those crops have been successfully used on fababeans. However, Phelps said producers have to be careful because some pea and lentil inoculant strains do not nodulate fababeans well. “If you’re looking at using a pealentil product on your fababeans, check with the manufacturer to make sure that it will nodulate fababeans effectively,” she said.

If you don’t have proper nodulation and proper inoculants, you’re losing that big nitrogen gain you can get with fababeans. SHERRILYN PHELPS SASKATCHEWAN PULSE GROWERS

“If you don’t have proper nodulation and proper inoculants, you’re losing that big nitrogen gain you can get with fababeans.” It is important to pay close attention to field herbicide rotations and herbicide history because fababeans are sensitive to residual herbicides. For example, producers would not want to plant fababeans on fields the year after it received applications of Muster, Assert, Everest or Triton C, high rates of clopyralid, Banvel 2 or Oracle or a fall application of PrePass or 2,4-D. Phelps recommended using preemergent products with fababeans in combination with in-crop herbicides. Registered pre-emergence products include glyphosate, glyphosate and Express (tribenuron), Edge (ethalfluralin) and Treflan (trifluralin) and Sencor (metribuzin). Registered in-crop products include basagran and Basagran Forte, Odyssey and Poast Ultra and Assure II (quizalofop) for grassy weed control. Lygus bugs are the main pest for fababeans because they pierce the seed coat and cause little black dots on the seed, which will downgrade it. The maximum level of acceptable damage for the No. 1 grade is only one percent, or one seed out of 100. Lygus bugs are hard to control. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

New, improved pea varieties sure to please The four newcomers offer higher yields, lodging resistance or resistance to powdery mildew BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “If you have lots of lygus you can spray it, but two days later it moves in from another field,” Phelps said. “There has been work done looking at lygus control, but they haven’t been able to get the damage down low enough to make a great improvement. So it doesn’t seem economical at this point.” Aphids, blister beetles, pea leaf weevil, grasshoppers and leafhoppers that can carry aster yellows also threaten fababeans. The most common disease is chocolate spot (botrytis). Ascochyta, alternaria and sclerotinia can also affect the crop. The nodes or growing points are easily visible on fababeans, and the plants obtain about one node per week. Growers can use this as a guide when trying to time herbicide and fungicide applications. Flowering starts at the eight to 10 node stage when one flower is open on the plant. Full flower is when flowers are open on five of the spots on the plant, and the end of flowering is when the first pods are visible. Only 25 percent of the flowers produce pods in fababeans. Studies from Australia increased yields by 25 to 40 percent by adding bees to areas with low number of pollinators. “Bees seem more important with fababeans than peas or lentils because there is a lower level of self-pollination with fababeans,” Phelps said. Glyphosate can be used for preharvest weed control, but growers shouldn’t keep the seed for planting the next year. Reglone is registered for desiccation, and Heat is being evaluated. Desiccate fababeans when most of the plants are ripe and dry and pods are fully filled with the bottom pods turned tan or black. “When you are looking at desiccating fababeans, the biggest thing is you need is lots of water,” Phelps said. “There is a lot of biomass there and you need lots of water. You cannot get away with putting on low amounts of water.” The crop can be straight combined at six to eight inches off the ground. They are considered dry at 16 percent moisture, but they are often combined at 18 to 20 percent moisture and then aerated. The 10-year average target yield is 39 bu. in Alberta and 35 bu. in Saskatchewan. Phelps said fababeans will outyield peas under good moisture conditions, but peas will perform better under drier conditions.

Canadian pea growers have four new pea options this year from the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre. CDC Saffron and CDC Amarillo are yellow pea varieties and CDC Raezer and CDC Limerick are green peas. “These four are the newest varieties available to farmers, and there is seed available,” said Tom Warkentin of the CDC, which has been breeding peas for 30 years. Most pea acres in Western Canada are grown to CDC varieties. CDC Meadow, and CDC Golden

have been most commonly grown yellow pea varieties in Western Canada in recent years. Warkentin said Saffron and Amarillo provided higher yields than Meadow and Golden. “Amarillo on average is a little higher yielding than Saffron and has a very good lodging resistance,” he said. “Saffron has a slightly larger seed size, which in some markets is an advantage.” Yellow peas account for 75 percent of western Canadian pea acres. Green peas take up much of the remaining acres, but there are also smaller market classes such as maple peas and forage peas. CDC Striker and CDC Patrick are

well as good yields,” he said. “Raezer is very similar in seed type to Striker, but it has the advantage of being resistant to powdery mildew, which Striker is not.” CDC Patrick and CDC Limerick are also resistant to powdery mildew. High yields are CDC Limerick’s key advantage. “It’s higher yield than Striker, Patrick, and somewhat higher than Raezer as well, on average,” he said. “Limerick is also high in protein in the seeds, which might be an advantage in some situations.” Growers can find suppliers in the Saskatchewan Seed Guide.

They are still being sent to slaughter because of good prices and drought in some regions. The shortfall in supply was made up with bigger cattle. Slaughter numbers were down seven percent, but carcasses have increased seven pounds a year since 1975, and last year’s average steer carcass weight was 897 lb.

RED DEER — The good times in the beef business have stalled. “We had a beautiful five year run in terms of our trends with increasing prices, but we have broken through that trend and we are definitely on a downward trending market,” said Brian Perrillat, senior market analyst with Canfax. Significant market volatility is now occurring with massive price swings from one week to the next. “There were a lot of complaints that maybe the market was broken, but in reality we don’t like what the market is telling us,” he told the Alberta Beef Industry conference, which was held in Red Deer Feb. 17-19. Alberta cattle prices are still historically high, but the Canadian dollar can turn everything around. He advised producers to watch the currency this fall. A 550 pound calf would be worth $287 per hundredweight if the U.S. fed price is US$118 per cwt. and the loonie is 65 cents, but that could fall to $247 per cwt. if the U.S. fed price is $125 per cwt. and the dollar is 75 cents. Perillat said that kind of uncertainty makes it nearly impossible to make reasonable forecasts on fall calf prices. Prices could vary from $179 to $350. The cow-calf sector has fared well recently, but the feedlot and packing sectors took a bruising. Feedlot profitability was outstanding for a year, but it is now losing equity. “They bought some of those high-end calves and when that

$179-$350 market broke, they were looking at some fairly big losses, assuming there was no risk management,” he said. As well, Canada posted the strongest basis in 30 years. The country is generally $8 to $10 below the U.S. market, but at times it was in a positive position so cattle stayed home. Feeder cattle exports were strong in 2014, but only 5,000 went south last year. Keeping cattle in Canada is a benefit to the packing industry. Last year’s utilization rate was

76 percent. Weekly capacity is 63,000 head, but packers were processing 50,000 head last year, which jeopardizes a plant’s economic viability. Perillat said the big question is whether expansion is imminent, considering that inventory is shrinking. “We have been talking about it for a few years, thinking we were just on the cusp of expansion,” he said. “I thought we would be way ahead of the U.S. two or three years

Perillat said producers should watch the following factors in the North American beef market this year: • The North American market will have to absorb an extra 5.5 billion more pounds of meat because of shrinking export markets and more animals going to slaughter. Beef supplies are still historically tight, but there have been big increases in pork and chicken. Retail prices should come down. • There were 1.3 million more feeders outside of feedlots at the beginning of the year. • Cow-calf producers are well positioned, but feedlots and packers are struggling. • The beef industry continues to lose market share to pork and poultry because it is still relatively more expensive. • The grain sector is competitive. Western Canadian barley acreage is down corn is up. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

RED DEER — The spread of diseases between animals and people is increasing every year. “We anticipate we will see up to five new emerging diseases over every year period,” said Brian Evans, head of the World Organization for Animal Health’s scientific and technical department. “We think four of that five will probably be zoonotic, that will affect multiple species, human and animals combined.” He told the Alberta Beef Industry conference, which was held in Red Deer Feb. 17-19, that the world is entering an era of vector borne disease. “We will see new and emerging diseases in ways we never even imagined was possible before,” he said. Insects are surviving longer and spreading further as weather warms or changes. They are responsible for spreading diseases such as bluetongue, Lyme disease and the West Nile and Zika viruses. Other animals, such as badgers, carry tuberculosis. Numerous international organizations oversee global disease outbreaks and cite a long list of reasons for poor health. Dire poverty is often a common factor in the spread of disease. “People tend to focus on the public side of the fence, ignoring the animal health side of the fence,” Evans said in an interview. “In most poverty stricken situations, that is where the relationship between animals and humans is most intimate.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

CATTLE PRODUCTIVITY

Do your homework to get the most from a cow Producers need to provide nutritious feed at the correct time, check body condition and cull those that have problems BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Fertility and successful pregnancies are the most valuable production traits in a beef operation, says a University of Florida researcher. “Managing for pregnancy is extremely important,” said Cliff Lamb, who runs a research station in Florida with 300 cows that must have a calf every 365 days. “We want a cow to ovulate as quickly as possible after giving birth within 20 to 40 days after. Well fed cows should ovulate 50 days after giving birth.” Cows should calve without assistance if they are to stay in the herd. Those with dystocia problems tend to have lower pregnancy rates of up to 10 to 15 percent. The cows must also provide enough milk for calves to reach their genetic potential and must have a calm disposition. “One crazy cow makes the rest of the herd crazy,” Lamb said during an education session National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention in San Diego in January. He said the pregnancy rate was 85 percent when he took over the research centre. He increased this to 92 percent by improving nutrition and following basic management principles. The calving interval was shortened, and cows that could not

Vaccination and improved health care could make the difference. “We could eliminate 99 percent of human rabies cases every year by mass vaccinations,” he said. “It is much cheaper than doing treatment. The people most impacted by rabies are young children in poor rural settings.” International organizations that monitor disease also share information to keep it under control. For example, the Schmallenburg virus is spread when insects bite sheep and cattle. The disease, which was first diagnosed in Germany in 2011, causes brain deformities in calves and lambs. It has received little attention.

make the grade were culled. He said nutrition is important for fertility, but the first step is to make sure basic needs are met first. “When you are feeding animals, the very first thing you have to worry about is feeding for maintenance or basal metabolism.” Basic feed is needed for cattle to stay alive. Nutrition must then provide energy for activity, growth, lactation and developing a fat cover for energy reserves. “We have to meet all those other factors before reproduction is met.” Lamb said mid-gestation is the best time to start manipulating nutrition. Cows need more nutrition for body maintenance and rapid fetal growth during the last trimester, and the fetus may gain up to three-quarters of a pound per day. Good feed is also needed after calving for lactation and to help the cow recover. Well-fed cows should ovulate 50 days after giving birth, but it could take them 90 to 120 days before they start their estrus cycle if they are not fed well. Underfed cows may undergo multiple estrus cycles without ovulating. After weaning the cow can start to gain weight again. This is when body condition score should be evaluated. The lowest score is given when the shoulder, ribs and the backbone are visible and means the cow Information was circulated when cases started to appear in ruminants, and it was learned that infected animals become immune. There could be a sharp increase in births of abnormal calves and lambs if it showed up in North America, but animal health networks are able to share information around the world. “When these things do occur, the methods for testing automatically go out to labs around the world, so no one has to start from square one,” he said. Effective biosecurity can help control factors outside the farmgate because the disease can seemingly show up from nowhere. Biosecurity is a hazard analysis critical control plan for every farm, in which producers know who comes on the property and what the neighbours are doing “You cannot prepare to manage emergencies successfully and deal with failure as an option,” he said. “I am hoping you are prepared to think of prevention in a whole different light.” The plan needs to consider the location of windbreaks, free standing water and migratory pathways for wildlife. Other factors include: • immune status of animals and what can be done to improve it • stocking density and animal welfare • staff training • environmental factors • movement and access of people • security of the perimeter The consequences of a serious disease outbreak may be loss of animals, trade restrictions and economic losses. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

is emaciated. A moderate score is given when the 12th and 13th ribs are not visible. A cow in good condition has covered ribs and sponginess around the tail head.

The condition at which cows calve dictate how soon those cows will come back into heat and get pregnant. CLIFF LAMB FLORIDA RESEARCH STATION MANAGER

Cows that carry the right amount of weight may be able to push a calf out easier, compared to a thin one that may not have the energy to go through the birthing process. Lamb said producers don’t check body condition scores enough, but studies have found that thin cows have much lower pregnancy rates. They take at least 89 days to start cycling again compared to those in good condition,

which are less than 60 days. “The condition at which cows calve dictate how soon those cows will come back into heat and get pregnant,” he said. “Even though you have a cow that is in good condition at calving, if she loses one condition score, it could take 133 days to start cycling.” The cow may have to gain 260 lb. from weaning until calving, which means gaining 2.2 lb. per day. The easiest time to do that is right after weaning because it is not easy for a lactating cow to gain two lb. a day. Gaining the weight before calving means they can then gain more slowly after weaning as they move into winter. “What we do to a cow during pregnancy affects calf development throughout its life,” he said. Not getting enough to eat affects the fetus’s muscle fiber and fat development. As well, calves reach puberty sooner when their dams are supplemented with protein. Heifers also have improved follicle development of the ovary, which equates to longevity in the

herd. Heifers at Lamb’s research centre are developed slowly at a rate of one-half to three-quarters of a pound per day, which is increased to two lb. per day 75 to 90 days before breeding. However, their weight needs to be monitored because pregnancy rates will fall if they gain too much or too little. Heifers exposed to high protein forage or grain supplement gain more during the development phase. It is more expensive to use high protein forage for heifer development, but pregnancy rates are higher among those receiving more protein. Opinions vary about body weight at puberty. Some say 60 to 65 percent of mature body weight can work at the start of breeding, while others suggest 50 to 55 percent of mature body weight. Lamb said there is value in both ideas, but most producers do not know the mature body weights of their cows. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Recognize symptoms, take action against diseases: expert BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Thin ewe syndrome affects most flocks at one time or another, says sheep specialist Dr. Lynn Tait of OC Flock Management. The affliction is defined as a production-limiting disease that affects performance and profitability but is not necessarily acute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not always obvious, and chronic in nature,â&#x20AC;? Tait said during a Feb. 8 Alberta Lamb Producers webinar. Instead, they are slowly degenerative types of disease that are not easily treated. The big four in sheep are: â&#x20AC;˘ maedi visna â&#x20AC;˘ Johneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease â&#x20AC;˘ caseous lymphadenitis â&#x20AC;˘ parasitism Maedi visna Maedi visna is a virus usually characterized by a hard udder that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t release milk when nursed. It is often confused with mastitis, but true â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard bagâ&#x20AC;? produces no heat, infection or apparent pain in the animal. The condition is permanent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just looks like a full udder, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing in it,â&#x20AC;? said Tait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a disease that slowly destroys the lung tissue.â&#x20AC;? Lambs can be infected in utero and after nursing from an infected ewe. The animal has more trouble breathing as it ages. Maedi visna can be confirmed post mortem by examining lung tissue.

While these ewes are in fine shape, thin ewe syndrome is a production limiting disease that hits most flocks at some time. | However, it can also be confirmed in living animals through a blood test, which detects the presence of antibodies, said Tait. Tests should be done on animals older than one year to provide reliable results, and they should not be taken 45 days before or after lambing. Johneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease Johneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is caused by a mycobacterium that invades the gut wall, causing it to thicken. Ewes gradually lose weight because they do not receive full nutritional value from their food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is what we call the tip of the iceberg,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sheep that you actually see in a flock that are clinically thin and show evidence of Johneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease are a very, very small portion of the number of animals in the flock that are actually infected.â&#x20AC;? Tait said diarrhea isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a symptom of Johneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in sheep as it is in cattle. In fact, sheep may show few clinical signs, other than thinness and gradual deterioration. Fecal tests can detect DNA of the bacteria that cause Johnes, but sheep do not necessarily shed the bacteria at all times, so multiple tests may be necessary to prove or disprove presence of the disease. Blood tests are not recommended as a diagnostic tool because they are unreliable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a great test in cattle, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extremely poor test in sheep and goats,â&#x20AC;? said Tait. A post mortem examination of the intestines can confirm Johnes.

stream and cause liver abscesses. Producers may notice swelling of lymph nodes on the sides of the head below the ear and at points of the shoulder. Less common are swollen nodes in the hind leg or flank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the big issues with this disease is that you will see many areas that get infected with internal abscesses, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see those,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no cure for the infection, so that is one of the challenges. There is a vaccine but it is not available in Canada. Contents from the swollen nodes can be analyzed to diagnose caseous lymphadenitis. A blood test is useful only if the animals have never been vaccinated for the illness. Ewes with caseous lymphadenitis will have internal abscesses at post mortem. Parasitism

fecal examination. Timing is key because some parasites go dormant in winter and may not appear in feces. Tait recommended using production records to help producers recognize chronic illness and treat or cull accordingly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that production records are underestimated in helping to determine if you have underlying problems in the flock,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often without really obvious clinical signs of the disease, we will still see drops or losses or failure to reach production goals.â&#x20AC;?

HERD HEALTH

Sufficient colostrum uptake key to disease management ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

few management changes can make a big difference in preventing the first case of scours and other infectious diseases on your ranch this spring. Preventing the first infectious case, which can quickly spread to others, is becoming increasingly critical as herds become larger and labour becomes scarce. Many of these disease processes can be minimized by increasing biosecurity around the farm, bumping up the immune status and bolstering colostrum uptake where necessary. If there is an outbreak, one must have a plan to minimize its spread. Consumption of quality colostrum is critical in the first six hours of life. As well, good nutrition and proper vaccination of the cow herd helps boost colostral immunity. Producers who are unsure about the quality of their colostral immunity can check it with a colostrometer or a brix refractometer, which measure the predicted immunoglobulin levels in the colostrum. As well, a blood test can confirm if a calf has received colostrom. Maintaining biosecurity is the best way to avoid using dairy colostrum because it could contain diseases such as Johne’s disease. It is better to save and freeze colostrum from a good milking cow on your farm or have several bags of quality commercial colostrum products, such as Headstart. These products are manufactured in such a way that infectious disease transmission should be stopped or greatly minimized. However, cleanliness while providing the colostrum is imperative. I always insist that producers start with a new esophageal feeder every spring and use it on newborn calves. They should also use a different one if drenching sick calves and label each feeder accordingly. As well, disinfect the tube between uses and wash all equipment as often as possible. Watch slow calves, harder pulls, backward calves and premature calves. Also watch for signs that they have sucked. The rule on my home farm is to milk any cow that is assisted and in the calving chute so the calf can be given some colostrum to get it off to a good start. It is surprising how often we find blocked teats or just poor milkers. These can be identified and culled. Udder conformation should be closely watched when selecting heifers. Calves from cows with lowslung bags or large teats should receive supplements and possibly be adopted to another cow if the opportunity arises. The calves of wild cows are always at risk of inadequate colostral uptake. Put tattoo ink above a calf’s nose if there is any doubt that it is nursing. This will prove whether it is at least

making an attempt to nurse. Recent work at the University of Calgary’s veterinary medicine school by Dr. Elizabeth Homerosky shows that checking suckle reflex is a great indication of whether a calf will suck. Colostrum should be administered if suckle reflex is non-existent or weak when checked 20 minutes after being born. We strive for one to 1.5 litres. Everyone likes to hear the sound of a calf slurping milk, but it is not always possible in busy operations or when calves are born on pasture. There is no harm supplementing a calf with a bag of a colostrum substitute if there’s reason to believe it isn’t consuming enough. The time to make that decision is

Adequate colostral consumption boosts immunity for the rest of a calf’s life. | FILE PHOTO in the first few hours of life. A blood test can be taken and checked by a veterinarian to determine total protein. I use the scale in

which higher than six is adequate, five to six is borderline and below five is inadequate. This is not an absolute guarantee that the calf will get sick, but I would keep it isolated until you know for sure. Many studies have confirmed that inadequate colostral consumption leads to increased respiratory disease in the feedlot. It can affect the calf for the rest of its life. Protection from many diseases comes initially through colostrum, so knowing when to supplement can reap huge benefits if we can prevent the first scours case from developing. Organisms that gain access when immune systems are not function-

ing properly, such as the protozoal diseases (coccidiosis or cryptosporidiosis), may not manifest themselves in calves with adequate colostral consumption. Calves that haven’t received enough colostrum will be the first to get sick when scours, coccidiosis or cryptosporidiosis occur. They will then spread it to the others. Disease prevention is paramount during calving, and extra effort to ensure adequate colostral consumption will provide huge returns in the form of less sickness, treatment costs, labour costs and death.

heifers and by 18 was deciding which herd bulls to buy. Her father Philâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only request was to make sure the bull would throw calves with a good rate of gain and be sound enough to carry through to slaughter in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bigview Stock Farm feedlot. The family had a Charolais, Fleckvieh, Simmental and Hereford cross herd at the time, but Schwenk-Gattey preferred Black Simmentals and bought the first of a long line of bulls from that breed, which now makes up the basis of the herd. Her eye for good genetics, combined with a strong feeding program developed by her father and brother, Levi, means the steers and heifers are sent to slaughter by 13 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the result of a good breeding program.â&#x20AC;? In 2011, she won the Alberta Simmental Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commercial Simmental cow herd of the year award.

Cows mean a lot to us, Every decision I make with the cow herd is on me. MEAGAN SCHWENK-GATTEY ALBERTA CATTLE PRODUCER

She tried buying her own feedlot steers at the auction market for a couple years but eventually gave up and contracted it out to an order buyer. “It was easier to ride pens. I don’t want to sit in an auction all day.” Schwenk-Gattey took a disease course while studying at Lakeland College that really resonated. After returning to the farm, she decided to work with the local veterinarian to create a herd health program, which has elimi-

nated almost any sickness in the herd. Outside steers bought for the feedlot are kept separate from the farm-raised steers and heifers for the first four months to reduce disease. She logs every treatment and sick animal into a computer. Having access to high speed internet to record cattle weights and herd health is key. The farm eventually added high speed internet to the processing barn to ensure that data entry didn’t slow that task. “We’re not going to be held up by a computer program,” she said. Information is entered into the herd program connected to Schwenk-Gattey’s cell phone when cattle are born, weighed and treated. “It’s essential,” she said. “We don’t always have a pen and paper. If you enter it in, then it’s done and it’s accurate.” Studying herd genetics and cattle data, such as what the farm receives from Cargill, has helped build a uniform herd. Only a handful of outside heifers and cows have entered the herd in 10 years.

“I now feel the cows are a proper quality,” she said. She calls her heifers thick, beefy and curvaceous. Calving is set for March and April, and the family hopes only a few cows will be left to calve during the busy spring seeding season. The entire family is kept busy driving equipment during seeding and harvest. They often chat by satellite phone while in the field, and everyone listened to the Toronto Blue Jays’ exciting playoff run last fall. “That was intense radio.” Schwenk-Gattey knows one other young female livestock operator who is as actively involved in the farm business as she is. Together they discuss genetics, bounce ideas off each other and have a good cry together when times are tough. “Cows mean a lot to us,” she said. “Every decision I make with the cow herd is on me.” If she picks a hard calving bull, she’s the one up at night pulling calves. As the key person looking after the farm’s livestock, SchwenkGattey hopes she can be a role model for other young women in agriculture. “Women just need the support,” she said. mary.macarthur@producer.com

CANADIAN FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE

NDP leader on election style tirade against Liberal policies BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Last year’s federal election campaign is long over, but NDP leader Thomas Mulcair delivered that kind of speech during last week’s Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting. He promised his party would strongly defend farmers, calling NDP MPs the “progressive” opposition in the House of Commons, and outlined the party’s “bold” vision for agriculture, beginning with a comprehensive national food strategy, strengthened business risk management programs and restored collective marketing for grain. He promised to continue to support supply management, and also took aim at the Liberal government, saying it is already backtracking on issues such as signing the Trans-Pacific Partnership without amendment. “There’s still no word on compensation for affected dairy farmers by either the European or Pacific trade agreements,” he said. As well, he said the Liberals no longer support collective marketing through a wheat board. “It doesn’t have to be this way,” he

said. “We believe the government has a positive role to play in making it easier for you to keep the family farm.” However, Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall took Mulcair to task for his comment that the loss of 30,000 small- and medium-sized farms in the last 10 years had made way for more corporate farms. Hall asked delegates how many had incorporated their operations, and most raised their hands. He then asked how many were family farms and, again, most raised their hands. “You’re saying that corporate farms aren’t good, yet 97 percent of the corporate farms in Canada are family farms” for income tax reasons, he told Mulcair. Mulcair apologized, saying he understood the difference between an incorporated family farm and a large integrated corporate farm that moves into an area and uses its vast resources to take over. Meanwhile, Conservative agriculture critic Chris Warkentin said the Liberals’ proposed national carbon tax would increase costs to farm families and inhibit investment. karen.briere@producer.com

Maple leaf a magnet at food show From honey to beef, Canadian food makers at the Gulfood show see the event as a way to tap new markets Freelance writer Delaney Seiferling reports from the Gulfood show in Dubai, where Canadian food exporters showed off their products, hoping to win business in the fast growing Gulf states. DUBAI — There was a distinct feeling of home last week in Dubai at the world’s largest annual food show. Gulfood attracted 90,000 visitors and 160 exhibiting countries to more than one million sq. feet of trade show space. Nestled within this sprawl was the Canadian pavilion, featuring 46 booths hosted by Canadian suppliers to the food and beverage industry. The pavilion was dressed with high quality graphics and logos depicting Canada and the Canada Brand, an association that many exhibitors say is a coup for them when it comes to marketing and selling their products. “In the world, we are perceived as a very clean country,” said Al Lau, who represented V Life Honey from Western Canada. He said being known as a Canadian company ties in directly with the V Life brand because the product is marketed as natural and pure with no additives and little processing. “A lot of people come here specifically looking for Canadian product because they know of our

purity and integrity.” Ali Attia is one such customer. The importer from Tunisia is based in the United Arab Emirates and primarily does business in Africa. He came to the Canadian pavilion because of positive experiences with Canadian partners in the past. “Canada products are very good,” he said. “I’m happy with them because I already imported lentils and it was very good quality and I’m happy with my customers.” Attia said he hoped to begin importing honey from Lau in the near future. “I love it and inshallah (God willing), I do business with him next year,” he said. Lau said making connections with buyers such as Attia is one of the major benefits in attending a show like Gulfood, but it’s not only about sales leads. It also brings him face to face with a market he may have previously had misconceptions about and allows potential customers to tell him what they are looking for. Canada Beef, which supports provincial partners in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan,

attended the Gulfood show for the sixth time this year. Robert Serapiglia, the organization’s director of business development and innovation, said it is an important to be at the show because the Middle East is an emerging market for Canadian beef.

Canada’s not well known as a beef producing nation, but Canada is well known for being clean, having fresh air, clean water, being friendly, honest and hardworking. ROBERT SERAPIGLIA CANADA BEEF

The region represents only one percent of exports for the industry, but it is a quickly growing market where Canadian beef is perceived as a premium product. Canada Beef has done extensive work to capitalize on this by branding its product and engaging traders and consumers in the area, including attending Gulfood. Serapiglia said a significant part of the Canadian beef brand is its association with Canada, which is why attending a show like this adds value.

“Canada’s not well known as a beef producing nation, but Canada is well known for being clean, having fresh air, clean water, being friendly, honest and hardworking,” he said. “Our brand promise is around country, pride and tradition and doing what’s right. As Canadians, we put the best of Canada in our beef and we think that Canada is the best place in the world to grow beef.” Agriculture Canada, which coordinates Canada’s participation at Gulfood and offers partial funding to exhibitors through its AgriMarketing Program, said exhibitors posted $250 million in on-site sales and anticipated sales over the following 12 months. The department launched Canada Brand in 2006, aiming to provide a unifying symbol that Canadian producers of food and agricultural products can use to complement their individual branding and marketing efforts. “The goal of the Canada Brand is to help Canadian food products s t a n d o u t f ro m c o m p e t i t o r s through use of a recognizable common look, the stylized maple leaf, and messaging that emphasizes the strengths of Canada’s food and agriculture sector,” said James Watson, a media relations officer with Agriculture Canada.

new year and a new government introduce a new highest marginal tax bracket, which brings with it the pain of new and aggressive tax increases. The Liberals promised new and popular spending strategies during last year’s election campaign and said they could be partially financed with only modest increases in taxes on the wealthiest Canadians. The new government introduced legislation after the election that would decrease taxes by 1.5 percent for the middle tax bracket, which are those who make $45,282 to $90,563. Not so fortunate are taxpayers earning more than $200,000 in taxable income, which is apparently the floor for defining wealthiest Canadians. They now fall into a new top tax bracket that features at least a four percentage point hike in taxes over the former highest tax bracket. It was positioned as a minor tax increase for those who can most afford it, but the increase is one of the most significant imposed on taxpayers in the last decade. Alberta and Ontario have added similar new tax brackets at the highest marginal tax rates over the last couple of years, which forces taxpayers in those tax brackets to pay significantly more than they did two to three years ago. The federal rate for middle bracket taxpayers will drop modestly to 20.5 percent from 22 percent The rate for those who earn more than $200,000 in taxable income jumps to 33 percent from 29 percent. In Alberta, the combined federal and provincial tax hit increases 7.75 percentage points to 48 percent from 40.25 percent. In Ontario, the combined rate rises to 53.53 percent from 49.53 percent. These increases far outstrip the rise in the inflation rate for the last few years. The new rates will affect producers who farm as a sole-proprietorship, a partnership and a family farm corporation. They will affect farmers’ decisions about whether to pay themselves salary and dividends (for corporations only) and decisions regarding the claiming of the optional inventory adjustment and accounting for the farm on a cash or accrual basis. It now becomes much more complex for the family farm corporation to issue a dividend. Eligible dividends and ineligible dividends have different marginal tax rates and therefore different gross-up percentages. This makes the decision to issue the dividend in 2016 far more complicated than a year earlier. The tax on eligible dividends at

the highest marginal tax rate rises 10.69 percentage points to 31.71 percent in Alberta, 5.52 percentage points to 30.33 percent in Saskatchewan and 5.52 percentage points to 37.78 percent in Manitoba. The increases on ineligible dividends are 9.4 percentage points to 40.24 percent in Alberta, 5.15 percentage points to 40.06 percent in Saskatchewan and 4.92 percent to 45.69 in Manitoba. Farmers should seek tax or accounting advice that relates to their specific needs. Grant Diamond is a tax analyst in Saskatoon, SK., with FBC, a company that specializes in farm tax.

WINNIPEG (Reuters) — La Coop Federee, one of Canada’s biggest farmer co-operatives, is offering to sell up to 49 percent of pork processor Olymel to help fund expansion in Western Canada, chief executive officer Gaetan Desroches said. La Co-op would retain control of Olymel. The Quebec co-op, which had $6 billion in revenue last year, plans to expand hog production in Western Canada to increase processing at its Olymel slaughter plant at Red Deer, Desroches said. La Co-op hopes to boost production to two million pigs a year from 1.2 million by raising more of its own pigs and buying hogs from western Canadian farmers.

La Co-op plans to spend $300 million over five years expanding hog production and becoming a partner in independent farm supply stores. It is also interested in buying feed mills. Selling a large stake in Olymel would help fund the expansion, which Desroches said is aimed at competing with U.S. packers such as Tyson Foods. “The goal we have is to increase the chain’s value,” he said. “It’s a co-ordination of every step in production to the customer.” Desroches said La Co-op wants a strategic partner in Olymel that is already in the hog business. He declined to say how much interest he has received. La Co-op’s search for a partner

comes as U.S. packers realize some of their highest profit margins ever. Hog supplies have replenished since the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus wiped out eight million hogs, and pork demand has been strong. Olymel had revenues of $2.8 billion last year. In December, La Co-op and Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative of India suspended plans to build a urea nitrogen plant in Quebec. La Co-op is waiting for nitrogen prices to improve before resuming its plans, and a decision would come no sooner than 2017, Desroches said. La Co-op has no plans to change its structure, including an initial public offering, he added.
