Approval delays for new soybean means canola market safe for now BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — The U.S. soybean industry is struggling to take back the market it has lost to high oleic canola from Canada. The original goal of the industry

was to have full commercial introduction of two high oleic soybean traits by 2014. The reality is that won’t happen until 2017 or later. Monsanto and DuPont Pioneer are having difficulty achieving global regulatory approval for their traits.

Monsanto is awaiting approval of its Vistive Gold soybeans in the European Union and China. The EU has approved Monsanto’s high oleic trait and its Roundup Ready 2 Yield trait individually but it has yet to approve the two stacked together.

COMMUNITY PASTURES

SARM declines to fund pasture lawsuit Four RMs suing for the return of land wanted the provincial body to help pay their legal costs BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Rural municipalities in Saskatchewan won’t share the cost of a lawsuit launched by four districts that want their former federal pastures back. The four municipalities — Dundurn, Heart’s Hill, Mount Hope and Reno — asked the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities to pay legal costs, and to reimburse all the municipalities that contributed money to help them. But delegates at last week’s annual convention voted to defeat that request by a margin of 54 percent to 46 percent. Fred Baran, from the RM of Dundurn, said 17 municipalities initially contributed to a fund to seek legal advice on how to regain ownership of the pastures. He said it cost Dundurn alone $25,000 to get a legal opinion. Four RMs have now taken legal action because they don’t think SARM has done enough to help them. They have brought the issue before the last several conventions and in 2014 passed a resolution calling on SARM to launch a class action lawsuit if the matter wasn’t addressed. Baran said they are frustrated. “They arranged meetings, but never took a stance on it,” he said of the SARM board in an interview. “We tried to talk with government and we had proposals but they were refused. The ministr y wouldn’t respond.” SARM president Ray Orb said the board a year ago emailed its members and outlined the amount of work the file would require and the complexity of the case. The board concluded it would not involve SARM’s legal department because of the time commitment. “Currently, our legal staff are now

He said the board looked at the cost of a class action and using outside legal counsel. He said all 296 RMs would have to split the cost. “We indicated on more than one occasion that we are not prepared to pursue it on behalf of RMs, not knowing what the costs would be at the expense of the remainder of the RMs, unless we are actually directed to do so,” he said. The lands in question were turned over to establish community pastures and restore grazing land after the devastating drought

of the 1930s. The federal government in 2012 decided to end its community pasture program and returned the land to the province. Saskatchewan decided to either lease or sell the 62 pastures it would get over a period of five years. That decision has been controversial. Conservation organizations have argued that habitat and species at risk might not be protected without federal oversight. They say the lands are public and shouldn’t be sold. Baran said the RMs would place public reserve status on the lands to keep future councils from selling them.

“The whole purpose of the municipalities wanting the land back is to ensure that it will actually stay as a community pasture in the municipality,” he said. He has quoted from Dec. 12, 1939 minutes of the province’s Land Utilization Board which state that lands would be returned if they are no longer being used for a specific purpose. The government has repeatedly said it can’t find any evidence of legal agreements. There are seven pastures in the four RMs involved in the claim, which was filed in Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench. karen.briere@producer.com

Strong snow pack bodes well for Alta. irrigation BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Nobody has ever lost a crop in March, as farming optimists are fond of saying. But in southern Alberta, where snow is absent, fire bans are on and some road bans are already off, there are mixed feelings about the crop prognosis. Terrence Lazarus, general manager of the St. Mary River Irrigation District, acknowledges dry land farmers might be biting their nails over dry conditions but he doesn’t see similar worry on the horizon for those with irrigation. “The snow pack is within a normal range and actually the snow pack generally … is above last year and our internal storage is healthy. We’re at 95 percent of normal, so I’m calling that normal for this time of year,” he said March 11. Irrigation districts typically draw down reservoir levels in fall to accommodate spring runoff. Laza-

rus said his district’s on-stream reservoirs have been filling and those upstream are also in good shape. “I’m expecting there would have to be dramatic change in the snow pack for them not to fill, so its highly likely they will fill,” he said. “Even if nothing changed, we’re OK in terms of snow pack, in terms of storage. And then of course there’s rains in June, and they always happen.” The Alberta Environment and Parks water supply outlook forecasts below average runoff between March and September in the North Saskatchewan, Oldman, Bow, Red Deer and Milk River basins, with average runoff anticipated in the Bow at Banff and Calgary. In terms of mountain snow pack, the provincial department reported a range from much below average to average in accumulations feeding the Oldman River basin. Those feeding the Bow River basin range from below average to much

above average. Snow pack conditions that feed the North Saskatchewan basin are much below average at Nordegg and average at Nigel Creek. For the Athabasca River basin, snow pack is much above to above average and in the Red Deer basin, it is much below average at Limestone Ridge but above average at Skoki Lodge. A swath of Alberta from Rocky Mountain House southeast to Medicine Hat has received no precipitation so far in March and with the exception of the Rocky Mountains, the entire province has received less than 30 millimetres this month, according to Alberta Environment data. However, Ralph Wright of the Agro-meteorological Applications and Modelling section of Alberta Agriculture and Forestry indicated that snow water deficits in the driest area of the province range between 50 and 60 mm. “This is equivalent to a good soaking spring rain and can easily

be made up with above average spring rains, and/or a few late winter snowstorms,” said Wright on the Agro Climatic Information Service website. “There is still ample time to receive adequate moisture ahead of this year’s growing season and for most of Alberta, March and April are historically still relatively dry months.” Historically, May, June and July are the months with the highest precipitation for Alberta. Lazarus said above-average temperatures and low snowfall will likely cause farmers to pressure irrigation districts for earlier than usual water delivery. Though that might be considered, the risk of freezing damage to valves and other mechanisms in the system can be high this early in the year. “March can turn on a dime to be very cold,” he said. barb.glen@producer.com

NEW ORLEANS, La. — The frontrunners in the United States presidential race are against the TransPacific Partnership agreement but the deal has a high-profile supporter in the agriculture sector. “I’m here today as a strong proponent, a strong proponent, an unapologetic proponent of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement,” U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told delegates attending Commodity Classic 2016. Donald Trump, who is leading the Republican presidential nomination, and Hillary Clinton, who is ahead for the Democrats, have both publicly stated their opposition to the pact. Influential members of the U.S. Congress have indicated they want to delay ratifying the agreement until after the November national elections. Vilsack said that would not be wise because the TPP gives U.S. farmers access to an exploding market. There are 535 million middle class consumers in Asia. “In just 15 years that number is going to grow by 2.7 billion people.” That would result in a middle class that is 10 times the size of the entire U.S. population. “It’s an opportunity for us to balance the Chinese influence in Asia,” said Vilsack. He said China will negotiate an all-Asia trade agreement if the U.S. opts out of the TPP and that agreement won’t have the same stringent sanitary and phytosanitary rules and commitment to sciencebased policies that is contained in the TPP. The American Farm Bureau has conducted a detailed analysis of what kind of impact the agreement would have on the American farm economy. “It is going to increase farm income by $4.4 billion,” said Vilsack. He said it is up to the agriculture community to convince politicians of the value of the agreement. sean.pratt@producer.com FOR MORE FROM THE COMMODITY CLASSIC, SEE PAGES 4, 5,6, 7 & 46.

SOYBEAN DELAY » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “It has been eight years in the EU,” said David Tegeder, senior marketing manager for Plenish soybeans. “It is unbelievable.” Both companies believe they will have full global approval for their high oleic soybeans by the end of 2016. U.S. farmers will plant an estimated 450,000 acres of high oleic soybeans this spring, double what went in the ground in 2015. The industry is trying to win back the 1.8 billion kilograms of annual soybean oil demand that was lost when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented a trans-fat labelling law. The labelling law pushed partially hydrogenated soybean oil out of restaurant fryers in favour of alternative products like high oleic canola oil. Almost all of the 450,000 acres will be Plenish soybeans. Monsanto will contract limited acres of its Vistive Gold soybeans this year. Tegeder said the Chinese approval has given DuPont the ability to contract sizable acres of Plenish despite lacking approval for the crop in the EU. “That has really allowed us to go in with more of a limited launch because half our beans go to China and less than 10 percent to Europe,” he said. The crop is being grown in an identity preser ved system in regions of 10 different states where crushing plants are selling the meal locally rather than exporting it overseas. It is not a full product launch because the crop can’t be sold to processors that export meal, such as those located along the banks of the Mississippi River. Tegeder expects Plenish acres to double to about 900,000 acres in 2017. The American Soybean Association forecasts a total of 1.1 million acres of high oleic soybeans that year. The United Soybean Board has set a goal of 18 million acres of high oleic soybeans by 2023. That would make it the fourth largest crop in the U.S. behind, corn, commodity soybeans and wheat. Tegeder thinks the regulatory delays will make it hard to achieve that target. It may have to be pushed back two or three years. He said high oleic soybeans will compete directly with high oleic canola in the food service industry. He believes soybeans have the advantage because they are processed closer to the end-use customers. “If I’m a U.S. food manufacturer it’s going to mean less freight costs,” said Tegeder. He d o e s n ’ t b e l i e v e t h e re i s enough of a population base for high oleic soybeans to be grown and processed in Western Canada, even though the trait will be available in Group 0 maturity group lines that could be grown in the region. Fa r m e r s i n O n t a r i o h av e expressed interest in growing the crop but local processors Archer Daniels Midland and Bunge prefer to centrally process high oleic soybeans in the U.S. and ship the oil back to Canada. sean.pratt@producer.com

U.S. wheat growers concerned over proposed biotech review Regulatory burdens could be placed on new technology such as CRISPR, a gene editing tool BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — U.S. farm groups worry that a review of the country’s biotechnology rules will result in the regulation of more technologies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is amending its regulations in light of new advances in science and technology. The regulations were implemented in 1987, and the last major revision was in 1993. APHIS has gathered written and oral submissions, including ones on the scope of future regulations. “Should APHIS regulate based on the characteristics of biotechnology products and the potential risks they may pose, or by the process by which they were cre-

ated?” the document said. “In either case, what criteria should be used to determine what APHIS regulates?” Those questions worry the National Association of Wheat Growers. “We’re very concerned that perhaps techniques that we believe are something less than biotechnology may be regulated,” said NAWG president Gordon Stoner. NAWG is particularly concerned that the emerging science of gene editing using new technologies such as CRISPR could soon face the same regulatory burden as genetically modified crops. “My sense is (APHIS) is looking for something to find to regulate,” he said. Stoner said gene editing is not about inserting new genes into a plant. Instead, it is about turning

existing genes on and off. Crops such as cotton, corn and soybeans have benefited from genetic modification. There are no commercial lines of GM wheat on the market because consumers are particularly sensitive about that crop. It’s why NAWG wants public breeding programs to have access to technologies such as gene editing. “We very much want to see innovation in wheat,” said Stoner. “We don’t want government in our lives, and so when government wants to regulate one of our inputs, we push back.” NAWG is also deeply troubled by a court case launched last year seeking to regulate seed treatments. A coalition of beekeepers, farmers and environmental activists are suing the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency for its failure to regulate seeds treated with neonicotinoids the same way as pesticides containing the active ingredient. Stoner said all treated varieties would have to be regulated if the coalition is successful, which would prove too onerous. “Effectively it would pull all seed treats off the market,” he said. Stoner said he relies heavily on seed treatments on his farm in Montana. “If I were to lose seed treats, much of my crop would not get out of the ground,” he said. “We have a little creature called wireworm that comes up in the spring when we’re planting and eats the heart out of the seed before it even gets out of the ground.” sean.pratt@producer.com

Soybean lobby calls for political action

Grading rules draw U.S. ire

BY SEAN PRATT

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

N E W O R L E A N S, L a. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; T h e American Soybean Association has issued a call to arms to all U.S. farmers. It wants every grower to pick up the phone and call their senator to encourage them to vote in favour of a voluntary GM labelling bill wending its way through Congress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the tipping point for biotechnology in the agriculture sector,â&#x20AC;? association chair Wade Cowan told reporters attending Commodity Classic 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few thousand people isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to do this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to rock The Hill.â&#x20AC;? The bill introduced by Pat Roberts, chair of the Senate agriculture committee, would establish a national voluntary labelling system for foods containing genetically modified ingredients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bill would block the illcrafted mandatory labelling law in Vermont from taking effect on July 1,â&#x20AC;? said association president Richard Wilkins. The Corn Refiners Association estimates Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law would add $1,050 per year to the average American familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual grocery bill as food manufacturers reformulate products with non-GM ingredients. Wilkins said Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bill would prevent a patchwork of state labelling laws from driving up food costs and threatening farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; freedom to operate. The bill received unanimous support from the Republicans on the Senate agriculture committee, but it was the votes of three Democrats that allowed it to pass through the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy vote for them, and we thank them very, very much for their leadership on this issue,â&#x20AC;? said Wilkins. Cowan said mandatory labelling laws like the one in Vermont are the first step toward farmers losing access to GM crops. The Center for Food Safety has said it will organize campaigns once food

products are labelled to convince consumers to avoid buying products containing GM ingredients. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the association wants farmers to call its toll-free number, where a professional lobbying firm will put growers in touch with their senator and coach them on what to say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to get a form letter. What it needs to do is it needs to be personal,â&#x20AC;? said Cowan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all busy people, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow that to hold us back anymore.â&#x20AC;? Tom Vilsack, the U.S. agriculture secretary, surprised some farmers and reporters when he addressed the labelling issue during his annual speech to conference delegates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get this done. It needs to be flexible. It needs to be mandatory,â&#x20AC;? he said. Reporters later asked Vilsack if he really meant to say mandatory. He said there is an urgency to get a national labelling law in place before a confusing patchwork of state labelling laws is enacted or companies start doing their own thing. Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soup recently announced it will be listing GM ingredients on its soup cans. A national labelling law would require 60 votes in the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, I think the way to get 60 votes is to have a label that is required,â&#x20AC;? said Vilsack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal ultimately is to make sure that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the chaos that would potentially ensue if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get something done very soon.â&#x20AC;? His preference would be smart labelling, in which interested consumers could scan bar codes with their phones to obtain information on food products, including whether they contain GM ingredients. He said food manufacturers would need ample time to institute the national labelling program, and it would have to be accompanied by an aggressive consumer education campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing to hide here. There is everything to be proud of,â&#x20AC;? said Vilsack. However, soybean growers want nothing to do with mandatory labelling legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We refuse to get behind a bill that gives any life to the misleading activists propagating falsehoods that biotechnology is anything less than safe, sustainable and part of the solution to global food security,â&#x20AC;? said Wilkins. sean.pratt@producer.com

NEW ORLEANS, La. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; American wheat farmers are fed up with how long it is taking to change Canadian grain grading rules. Canadian wheat is graded and treated no differently than wheat that originates in the United States when it moves south. But U.S. wheat that comes north is automatically assigned a feed grade, even when it is a registered Canadian variety. Gordon Stoner, president of the National Association of Wheat Growers, farms in Montana near the Canadian border directly south of Regina. He grows Canadian durum varieties and occasionally wants to sell his wheat in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take my wheat across the line and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called garbage,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters during Commodity Classic 2016. Stoner would like to be able to drop off his wheat at a grain elevator near Belle Plaine, Sask., pick up a load of fertilizer at the Yara International plant and return home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I very much would like access. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Canadian rail just across the line. Often times their freight rates are a little lower,â&#x20AC;? he said. Stoner said it is no different than country-of-origin labelling legislation in the U.S., which caused so much consternation amongst Canadian hog and cattle producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canadians have heard us. They are working on it, but it has been a very slow process,â&#x20AC;? he said. The issue was going to be addressed in Bill C-48, which was designed to modernize the Canadian Grain Commission and amend the Canada Grain Act. However, the bill was derailed by last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election. Spokesperson Remi Gosselin said the commission is talking with the new Liberal government about how

U.S. wheat growers want Canada to resurrect Bill C-48, which would have ensured U.S. grain is graded the same as Canadian grain as long as it is a variety registered in Canada. | FILE PHOTO to improve the Canada Grain Act. Many of the issues being discussed are the same as those contained in Bill C-48. He said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the Liberals will dust off Bill C-48. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had general support in the House of Commons. I think that all parties supported the reforms. There was no major opposition to it,â&#x20AC;? said Gosselin. The bill would ensure U.S. grain would be graded the same way as Canadian grain as long as it was a variety registered in Canada. U.S. farmers can still sell their grain in Canada as long as it is purchased on spec by a primary elevator. However, Gosselin said Canadian grain grades cannot be used in the transaction. Stoner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe a lot of U.S. grain would flood across the border

once the inequity issue is resolved. It would likely come from a corridor stretching 160 kilometres south of the border. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I expect to sell a lot of wheat in Canada? Probably not,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at the same time, I become pretty angry when I drive across the line and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called feed and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Canadian variety, and that imagina r y 4 9 t h p a ra l l e l s o m e h ow changes that wheat.â&#x20AC;? sean.pratt@producer.com

Peas, lentils hit the big time At more than 10 million acres, prairie farmers are expected to grow their biggest crop ever BY BRIAN CROSS

Corn sector sets sights on ethanol

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY SEAN PRATT

Western Canada’s farmers are likely to produce their largest pea and lentil crops in history this year, according to the president of AGT Food & Ingredients. In a recent presentation to grain industry experts in Saskatoon, Murad Al-Katib predicted that plantings of dry peas and lentils in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba will exceed 10 million acres this year. That would easily be the largest seeded acreage ever for the two crops in Western Canada. “Lentils and peas will cross the 10 million acres in Western Canada this year,” Al-Katib told delegates attending the Prairie Grain Development Committee meetings in late February. “That will be the first time we’ve ever touched 10 million acres for those two crops … and by the way, I think we can market it all as well.” Statistics Canada says peas and lentils accounted for a record 7.6 million acres in Western Canada last year. If Al-Katib’s projections hold true, the 10 million acres would represent a year-over-year increase of more than 30 percent. Acreage for the two crops has been trending upward over the past 15 years. Last year, peas and lentils produced some of the healthiest farmgate returns of any crops, he added. As well, global demand shows no sign of slowing. In 2015, the price for top quality western Canadian red lentils peaked at around 58 cents per pound, said Al-Katib, whose company had global sales revenues of more than $1.7 billion last year. That’s a far cry from the 10 to 15 cents that prairie growers were routinely earning for red lentils in the early 2000s. “(Fifteen years ago,) the world used to say that if Canada grew a million tonnes of red lentils, we could never market them,” Al-Katib said. “Well, I’m proud to say that from

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The sky is the limit for lentil prairie producers this days as the crop’s popularity soars. | August to December of 2015, we exported more than a million tonnes of red lentils, so the industry has changed.” Al-Katib said global demand for pulse crops and pulse-based ingredients continues to rise, not only in traditional markets such as India but also in new and expanding markets such as China, Europe and North America. China recently became the largest buyer of Canadian field peas, surpassing India. “Canada’s largest pea market in 2014 was not India but China … more than one million tonnes of starch for production of vermicelli noodles, Chinese dumplings and moon cakes,” Al-Katib said.

Canadian pulse exports have increased significantly over the past decade, thanks to aggressive marketing and the development of new varieties that offer improved yield potential, enhanced agronomic performance and better market appeal. These factors have convinced prairie growers to take another look at pulses, he added. The benefits of rotation, which includes cereals, pulse crops and canola, are also being recognized. “Today, we produce and export 65 percent of the world’s lentils, so Canada is at the centre of the world trade when it comes to that particular commodity,” said Al-Katib. “The sustainable cereal-oilseed-

NEW ORLEANS, La. — U.S. corn growers believe higher ethanol blends are the way to reverse slumping grain prices. Corn prices have fallen 34 percent since 2010 as demand from t h e e t ha n o l i n d u s t r y s t a l l e d because of the E10 blend wall. An estimated 99 percent of gasoline sold in the United States contains 10 percent ethanol. The only way to expand ethanol consumption is by moving to higher blends, such as E15. “Ethanol is the most important driver for future growth of corn demand,” Chip Bowling, president of the National Corn Growers Association, told reporters during Commodity Classic 2016. “We’re pushing for changes that would give every American yearround access to E15.” E15 has been approved for use in vehicles made in 2001 or later, but little of the fuel is sold because of regulations surrounding Reid vapor pressure (RVP), which measures the evaporation rate of gasoline. Fuel is not allowed to have an RVP measure that exceeds nine pounds per sq. inch from May 1 to Sept. 15. Adding 10 percent ethanol to conventional nine p.s.i. gasoline raises the RVP value to about 10 p.s.i. Congress passed a one pound waiver in 1990 to accommodate E10 blends, but no such waiver is in place for E15 blends. Kelly Manning, vice-president of development with Growth Energy, said it means fuel retailers can sell E15 blends at all pumps during the winter, but they have to switch to selling the blend only in their flex fuel vehicle pumps when summer comes. “The volumes of E15 are significant when they can sell it as a base fuel, but when we have to go back and sell it as a flex fuel, they dive,” Manning said during a panel discussion on the future of ethanol.

PRICE FORECASTS

Quick action on rallies could save the day Growers are advised to expect flat prices until the end of March and then check the weather forecast BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — There will be opportunities to lock in profitable crop prices in 2016, according to a panel of analysts. “Since 1973, the American farmer has always had one opportunity and this year I don’t think will be any different,” Mark Gold, analyst with Top Third Ag Marketing said during the taping of U.S. Farm Report at Commodity Classic 2016. He said there is too much doom and gloom surrounding the farm sector. The analysts who were saying three years ago that agriculture had achieved a new price paradigm and that prices would never fall are the same ones saying today that prices will not rise, he said. “I guess they don’t learn that markets go up and down,” Gold told farmers who gathered to listen to the taping of the popular U.S. radio program. “The fact of the matter is you’ll have an opportunity and I really believe that it’s your job this year to really take advantage of it when it happens.” Chip Flory, analyst with Pro Farmer, said growers should count on flat prices until the end of March and then check the weather forecast. They need to be quick to jump on any weather rally. Corn is the crop that will be most vulnerable to a weather scare. Soybeans will require a big yield decline to spark a price rally due to what is expected to be a substantial 450 million bushel U.S. carryout. Wheat is almost beyond help due to bloated global supplies. Gold pointed out that modern genetics are so good that crops are able to survive weather scares. For

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Corn growers and ethanol manufacturers want Congress to approve legislation that would extend the waiver to E15 blends because the RVP value is essentially the same as E10 blends. Manning said more than 50 members of Congress have supported the legislation. Corn and ethanol groups have also created Prime the Pump, a program designed to provide financial support to fuel retailers

Overflowing global crop production in 2015-16 submerged grain prices, but experts at a recent meeting said many analysts are overly negative about 2016 prospects. Rallies will occur, but farmers must be ready to pounce when they appear. | FILE PHOTO instance, many analysts thought there was no way last year’s crops would make trend line yields because of the wet start but they exceeded trend line yields. The lesson is that farmers need to pounce as soon as the market starts to get uneasy. Ted Seifried, analyst with Zaner Ag Hedge, said funds are at record

short positions in futures markets and end users are buying on a hand-to-mouth basis. If there is any kind of weather scare those two big players in the market could start competing for bids. “That could give us a nice little pop similar to what it did last year with the too wet scare,” he said.

“There is a good setup this year to at some point see some very respectable numbers to be looking at marketing but we have to be willing or able to pull the trigger at that point.” One farmer asked the panel when will fertilizer prices start following corn prices down. Flory said that has already happened. A typical cocktail of fertiliz-

er products is priced at about 18 to 19 percent of estimated new crop revenue. “That’s historically where the sweet spot is,” he said. “There’s room for downside movement on the inputs but not a lot.”

for buying and installing the pump infrastructure required to distribute E15 blends. Ma n n i n g s a i d s i x re t a i l e r s, including some of the nation’s top 20 chains, have signed up for the program. E15 pumps now operate in 22 states. “We would have never realized this kind of success could have happened a few years back,” he said. “By the end of 2017, there will be 5,000 pumps in this country that will dispense E15.”

Syngenta donated $600,000 to the program. It has a vested interest in boosting ethanol demand because it developed Enogen, a corn trait that increases ethanol yield by three percent per bushel of corn. Jack Bernens, head of Enogen, said ethanol has had a dramatic impact on corn demand and corn prices. The ethanol industr y accounts for 39 percent of total annual demand for U.S. corn. “If we can get to E15, that increases the amount of ethanol we need

by about 50 percent,” he said. Retailers that have signed up for the Prime the Pump program are reporting strong sales of the E15 blends. Ethanol trades for about $1 per gallon less than gasoline, so consumers are paying 15 cents per gallon less for an E15 blend than they do for regular gasoline, and it provides them with a higher octane fuel. Manning said the U.S. Department of Agriculture co-opted the Prime the Pump model when it cre-

ated the $100 million Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership program. The goal of the USDA’s program is to double the number of fuel pumps capable of supplying higher ethanol blends such as E15. Manning estimates that E15 pumps will be in 1,000 of the country’s 160,000 convenience stores by the end of 2017. He believes there will be widespread adoption of the fuel blend within five years.

WHEAT PRODUCTION

U.S. wheat acreage to hit 45-year low: USDA BY BRIAN CROSS

U.S. WINTER WHEAT GROWING AREAS

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wheat plantings in the United States are expected to fall to their lowest levels since 1970, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At its annual Agricultural Outlook Forum held in Arlington, Virginia, the USDA estimated total U.S. wheat area at 51 million acres, down six percent, or 3.6 million acres, from 2015-16. A report presented at the event Feb. 26 pegged U.S. hard red winter wheat plantings down nine percent to 26.5 million acres and soft red winter plantings down 400,000 acres to 6.7 million acres. The projection for spring wheat and durum is 14.4 million acres, down five percent from 15.1 million acres a year earlier. Production of white wheat is expected to increase slightly. Average projected wheat yields, based on recent yield trends, are expected to increase to 45.9 bushels per acre, up from 43.6 bu. in 2015 and the highest projected yield since 2013. Since the outlook report was released, the winter wheat region has had warmer than normal weather and the crop has come out of dormancy. The condition rating for the wheat crop in key states is better than last year at this time, but the trade has become concerned

This map shows where winter wheat acres are concentrated. Dark green areas are major winter wheat regions and light green marks minor areas. The central region centred on Kansas is where hard red winter wheat is grown while areas to the east focus more on soft red varieties. Soft white varieties are grown in the Pacific Northwest. Yellow numbers indicate the percent each state contributed to total production. States not numbered contributed less than one percent of winter wheat production.

about a lack of rain in the southern Plains that could stress the developing hard red crop. The USDA forecast the harvested-to-planted ratio is expected to fall to 85 percent, down from 86 percent in 2015-16, because of a marginal increase in expected abandonment. “The early 2016-17 outlook for grains and oilseeds reflects large domestic and world supplies with

reduced prospects for prices and producer returns,” said the USDA’s Grains and Oilseed Outlook report. “Forecasts for 2015-16 wheat, corn and soybean prices suggest a continued drop in combined plantings in 2016 … (with) combined planted area for the three crops … projected at 223.5 million acres, down 1.8 million from last year with wheat accounting for most of the decline.”

The USDA report said overall American wheat production is expected to decrease three percent to 1.99 billion bu. based on reduced 2016-17 plantings. American wheat exports are also projected to rise by 75 million bu. to 850 million. Competition from other wheat exporters will continue to limit gains in the U.S. share of world trade despite the anticipated increase in exports and a slight uptick in anticipated domestic use, the report said. “Canada’s production is expected to be higher, and farmers in Argen-

tina are likely to plant more wheat due to the … recent removal of export restrictions (in that country),” the report said. New government policies in China and Iran are likely to result in lower imports. U.S. wheat ending stocks for 2016-17 (June to May) are expected to increase two percent to 989 million bu., which would represent the highest U.S. ending stock number since 1987-88.

HOGS EDGE HIGHER

The market tone last week was lower with prices on track to establish a new low for the year. Dressed bids and sales were reported from $275-$280 per hundredweight delivered. Trade was too light to establish an average live price. Canadian and U.S. fed prices are moving in opposite directions, which has weakened the Alberta-Nebraska cash-to-cash basis. March is often the weakest basis month of the year. Alberta fed cattle traded about $13 lower than the United States, which is the weakest level seen since February 2015. The U.S. cash trade surged higher as the Canadian market weakened, which might support the Canadian market this week. Late in the week, prices in the northern U.S. were up US$6 from the previous week at $220 dressed, or C$290. A handful of Canadian cattle were committed to U.S. plants and sold on a formula price arrangement. The two major western Canadian

U.S. packers enjoyed comfortable operating margins and looked forward to the beginning of grilling season. American farmers are current in their deliveries. In Canada, the Signature Three price was C$70.33 per hundredweight, or $155.04 per 100 kilograms March 11, which was up a little from $70.47, or $ 155.36, the previous week. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$47.50-$49.50 per cwt. March 11, up from $46.50$48.75 March 4. U.S. hogs averaged $62.40 on a carcass basis March 11, up from $61.96 March 4. The U.S. pork cutout was $76.08 per cwt. March 11, up from $75.22 March 4. 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 March 11 was 2.215 million, down from 2.220 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.226 million last year at the same time.

FED PRICE DOWN

packers have both in the same week put in a five-day week only once this year, in January. Export volumes could pick up because of reduced slaughter rates and weakening basis levels, A greater percent of cattle are yielding grade 3 due to the heavy carcass weights. For the week ending March 5, yield 3 as a percent of total yield grades is 33 percent compared to 25 percent last year. Fifty percent trim prices are struggling, and prices are trading below the three-year average.

COWS DOWN D1, 2 cows ranged $100-$114 per cwt. to average $106.71, down $1.50. D3 cows ranged $85-$104 to average $95.33. Rail grade prices ranged $207$212 per cwt. delivered. Butcher bulls fell $1.50 to average $133.50. Weekly western Canadian nonfed slaughter to March 5 rose four percent to 8,020 head. Exports are down 16 percent this year at 44,952. Volumes at auction are expected to moderate.

FEEDERS LOWER Steers fell more than $4 per cwt., and heifers were down almost $2.50. Stockers and feeders lighter than 600 pounds saw lacklustre buying interest, and prices were sharply lower. Those interested in buying cattle to put on grass showed mixed interest on 600-800 lb. feeders, and prices were steady to $3.50 lower. Feeders heavier than 800 lb. were a little lower. Weekly auction volume rose nine percent to 37,571. Volume is down three percent to date. Weekly exports to Feb. 27 surged to 7,389 head, but the yearly total is still behind last year. Auction volumes should seasonally increase. Dry pastures in Alberta could defer interest on middle weight grass types, but feedlot interest for bunk replacements has improved.

D’ARCE McMILLAN

ndian farmers must have a dreaded feeling of déjà vu. They’ve already suffered two consecutive disappointing summer monsoons and now rain has appeared as it did last year just as the winter crop was about to be harvested. In last week’s column, I drew attention to rain in IndiaMarch 6-7 that might have damaged crops. On the weekend, another widespread weather system again brought rain, hail and wind to parts of India’s northern breadbasket and across the border in Pakistan. More rain was expected this week. As this column was written, government officials were heading out to try to determine the extent of the damage from the storms. Indian newspapers were quoting crop experts who said the damage was relatively light but could get worse if more rain comes. That is what happened last year when a series of wet weather systems delayed harvest and fed disease outbreaks. The pulse crop wound up seven percent smaller than the February government forecast and the wheat crop was down about 10 percent. This year the private grain trade already had forecasts substantially below the government’s rosy outlook issued in February. We report this week in this section that analysts think seeded area of peas and lentils could jump by 30 percent in Canada. India’s hardship should mean

Bad harvest weather shrank India’s wheat harvest last year to 86.5 million tonnes from 95.85 million the previous year. | REUTERS/AMIT DAVE PHOTO that Canada’s increased production will have an easier time finding a market. Closer to home, winter returned to the Canadian Prairies this week, and the cold weather was forecast to extend down into the southern U.S. Plains, where concern also has been building about the lack of moisture in the past few months. Subsoil moisture is better than in recent years, but the topsoil is drying out fast. The Kansas May wheat contract rallied 33 cents a bushel, or seven percent, from March 1-14 on the back of that dry weather concern.

Now attention is turning to freezing weather. As this column was written March 14, the long-range forecast was for lows on the morning of March 18 to drop to around -9 to -4 C in eastern Colorado and western Kansas. Normally this would not be an issue because the crop would not be far enough along to be vulnerable. But the southern Plains region has been basking in unusually warm weather and some wheat in southern Kansas is in the jointing stage, which could make it susceptible to damage if the lows last for several hours.

Experts quoted by Reuters March 14 believed that the damage would likely not be bad. However, the risk remains that the early development could endanger the crop if there is an April frost. Remember that global wheat stocks are ample, limiting the upside to any market rally. However, any reduction in 2016 crops would help make the longterm wheat market outlook less depressing.

CRAIG’S VIEW

CLIMATE CHANGE

Provinces encouraged to embrace carbon tax plan

anada will have to use all the tools at its disposal to achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. Considering that we didn’t meet our Kyoto targets, it’s clear that targets alone are not enough. Concrete plans are needed. So it’s unsettling to see Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall lead the charge against federal efforts to enact a carbon tax. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s initiative with the provinces could lead to such a tax. Agriculture has a role to play. The sector accounted for 12 percent of global emissions in 2012. But Canada’s agriculture sector has been a leader, with efforts such as zerotillage and precision farming technology. As a result, the rate at which carbon is stored in agricultural soil is already higher than projections for 2030. It’s important that a decision to impose a carbon tax, or any other initiatives, take into consideration efforts already underway in agriculture, which have made Canadian farms among the most efficient in the world. And it must be acknowledged that farmers aren’t able to significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels and fertilizer — the key contributors to greenhouse gases in agriculture. Methane emitted from livestock is also a contributor to global warming. These could be subject to a carbon tax, should such a plan be put in place. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted that 80 percent of the country lives under some sort of sort of carbon pricing initiative. The federal government is setting up four panels to prepare a co-ordinated approach to greenhouse gas emissions. A

carbon tax in the area of $15 per tonne is possible. That’s considered the low end of pricing. A carbon tax is intended as motivation to curb emissions and as a revenue generator to put money into green initiatives. Wall argues that now is not the time for a carbon tax due to poor economic conditions. Yet how can we accept the realities of global warming and say we cannot use a key tool to address it? If not now, scientists tell us, it will be too late. Wall argues that a carbon tax could sap $1.3 billion from Saskatchewan’s economy. Yet a peer-reviewed study found that B.C.’s carbon tax revenues may have allowed the province to cut income taxes, putting money back into the economy. B.C. has had a carbon price of $30 per tonne for several years — though there are exceptions on fuel for farmers. Wall is worried about the effect on oil companies, but Alberta, which has the most at stake due to its struggling oil sector, plans to bring in a carbon tax of its own by 2017. Ontario and Quebec have opted for cap-and-trade systems. The federal initiative aims to pull the patchwork of provincial programs together for a national effort. What is needed is a broad initiative that is nuanced enough to focus on where it can most effectively reduce emissions. Federal efforts must make allowances for agriculture’s realities and account for measures the sector has already taken, including investments in the latest seeding and fertilizing technologies. It must also allow for incremental change and ensure that farmers will not be forced to absorb the brunt of the extra costs. Bruce Dyck, Terry Fries, Barb Glen, Brian MacLeod and D’Arce McMillan collaborate in the writing of Western Producer editorials.

CANADA-U.S. RELATIONS

Building goodwill in U.S. now a smart move for Trudeau CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

t was a beautiful day in the neighbourhood in Washington last week as American President Barack Obama hosted a state dinner to celebrate one of the world’s most notable international friendships. It was the first time a Canadian prime minister had been invited to the White House for a state dinner in nearly 20 years — the last being Prime Minister Jean Chretien in 1997. From the outset, the three-day trip appeared more like a reunion of old friends as Obama and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traded

barbs over hockey and beer. Neither could resist cracking a Justin Bieber joke. Yet, amidst the pomp and circumstance, the finery and the levity the festivities had a serious undertone. For Trudeau the three-day visit was a chance to thaw what had become a frosty relationship with our southern neighbour thanks to issues like mandatory country-oforigin labelling, climate change and the Keystone XL pipeline. In addition to the time spent with Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, Trudeau used his visit to Washington to lay some groundwork, meeting with senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and other members of the Republican leade r s h i p. A m e e t i n g w a s a l s o arranged with U.S. House of Representatives minority leader Nancy Pilowski. The importance of a good Canada-U.S. relationship is not lost on

Canadian farmers. Canada and the United States share the largest bilateral trading relationship in the world. Agricultural trade alone between the two countries accounts for $50 billion annually. Canada is the top agricultural export destination for 29 U.S. states, with American farmers and processors shipping about $26 billion in goods north annually. Meanwhile, Canadian producers send about $23 billion in baked goods, meat, livestock and fertilizer south. In Trudeau, Obama appears to have found an ally — someone to whom he can pass on the progressive torch. Both men have said they are committed to conversations around climate change. With 20 months left in office, it’s expected Obama will try and make the climate change file one of his legacy issues. But the friendship that seems to

have been struck in Washington can, and should, go beyond the environmental file. Good relationships in Washington may help with the always dicey task of negotiating a new softwood lumber agreement (the 2006 agreement expired during the fall election campaign). Softwood lumber, an $8 billion export industry, has earned a reputation over the years of being the most intractable trade dispute between the U.S. and Canada. For agriculture, ongoing efforts by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to streamline CanadaU.S. regulatory requirements and eliminate red tape continue. Meanwhile, Canadian fruit and vegetable growers would like their preferential status under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, an exemption the industry lost in 2014 because a similar program wasn’t available to American

exporters sending goods Canada. Then there’s the concerns around milk proteins. Canada’s dairy industry continues to express concerns about diafiltered milk imports from the United States. The issue, which industry says is undermining Canada’s supply management system, is briefly being looked at by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture. And, of course, there’s the Trans Pacific Partnership, which remains under Liberal review. A strong working relationship between Ottawa and Washington is critical. As uncertainty continues to brew about the next American government, Ottawa would be wise to try and tackle as many issues on the docket as it can. One never knows what the next U.S. election will bring. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

ELECTIONS | MAKING A CHOICE

Columbia River Treaty must consider ag

It’s open to debate

BY KIMBERLY ONGTENCO & NICK PROULX-JONES

he Columbia River houses the largest hydropower project in North America. The Columbia River Treaty was ratified in 1964 between the United States and Canada. It does not have an official end date, but either country can choose to change or terminate the treaty with 10 years notice. The treaty has been heavily criticized for its negative impact on the environment, First Nations and ecosystems. Nonetheless, the treaty deals mainly with power maximization and flood prevention. In fact, the U.S. had started building dams since the 1930s to create power, prevent floods and create a constant water supply for irrigation of crops. It realized that additional water storage was necessary to achieve the maximum potential of the river, and the most viable option was across the border. Ca na d a i s c o m p e n s at e d by receiving half of the electricity produced as well as monetary compensation for flood prevention. Unfortunately for Canada, it failed to realize that it was providing the State of Washington with a constant water supply, which has led to a boom in high-value crops and put immense pressure on British Columbia’s agriculture industry. The resulting production from a constant and abundant water supply stemming from the Columbia Basin Project is valued at $1.2 bil-

This provides 30 to 50 percent of all income in the counties served by the project. A $5 billion agriculture industry in Washington has brought tremendous benefits. Before the treaty, Washington produced mainly lower valued goods, such as wheat and other grain. Now, with reliable and abundant irrigation, farmers are able to harvest higher valued crops such as apples and specialty crops such as wine grapes and mint. The treaty led to a loss of fertile, low elevation land in Canada. Arable farmland and orchards such as those in the Arrow Lakes and

Koocanusa reservoirs were flooded. The Arrow Lakes Valley was mainly a forestry, mining and agriculture based community before the creation of the reservoirs. In the past, farms in Washington and B.C. were of similar sizes. Current Canadian producers are unable to compete with the lowcost imports from Washington, which were all made possible by the treaty. Washington producers are controlling and dominating the market. To be more specific, let us look at the apple industry. The Okanagan Valley produces 2.5 million boxes of apples and pears every year, and that number

is decreasing. Meanwhile, Washington has been producing 105 to 120 million boxes a year, which is more than needed domestically and leads to cheap imports in B.C. We need to help our local farmers be profitable and maintain their land. Canadian farmers affected by cheap imports should be considered in treaty renegotiations because the treaty affects production costs. Alternatives to ensure financial security for affected farmers and a strong Canadian agr iculture industry include government subsidies, government protection and the re- establishment of antidumping tariffs. Re-establishing anti-dumping tariffs would mean imports couldn’t be sold below the cost of production. The Columbia River Treaty brings flood control, hydropower and dependable irrigation for those south of the border, while in Canada it brings weaker production rates and flooded lands. However, many Americans still question the Canadian entitlement. Renegotiations are in place, and we hope the voices and pleas of our producers will be heard. Let us hope that the renegotiations will include a more equitable share of agricultural benefits of Canadian storage with farmers in B.C. Kimberly Ongtenco and Nick Proulx-Jones are working on a Columbia River Treaty project as part of their final year of engineering studies at McGill University.

SEEDING DECISIONS

Taehw offers a new/old cropping option HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

here’s a new crop you might want to try. It’s called taehw (pronounced tay-who), an ancient cereal grain that should work well in our existing rotations. The market is well established, so producers shouldn’t have to worry about getting paid. Based on extensive trials, taehw is well adapted to all regions of Western Canada with yields expected to be in the same range as canola most years. No specialized seeding or harvesting equipment is needed. Taehw is a lower input crop than canola, but market prices will also be lower. Current prices are 10 to 11 cents f.o.b. farm for top quality product. If you’re able to produce

better than average yields, you might be able to make a bit of money, although it’s unlikely to match the profitability of oilseeds or pulses most years. A variety of downgrading factors often drop the value of taehw by as much as several cents a pound, but markets do exist for lower quality product. Unfortunately, disease can be an issue, including a fungal infection that can cause toxic compounds in the grain. Fungicides applied at the right time help limit disease but are not always entirely effective. Weed control is straight forward with similar herbicide options to other crops in the grass family. Customers have their own quality preferences. In fact, marketers have found that this crop requires a great deal of interaction with customers to keep them happy. Numerous grades and classes and segregation by small protein increments means taehw will be a challenge for the grain handling system. However, companies are expected to compete vigorously for

business once production becomes well established. Value-added processing within Canada is expected to be limited because importing nations typically want to do their own. Taehw is ground and sifted for use in many food products. So, would you like to try growing some taehw? As you may have guessed, you’re probably already growing it. It isn’t a new crop. It’s the old original crop for Western Canada. Taehw spelled backward is wheat. More than a 100-year history of production, investment in new varieties and decades of fighting over how we should market it means wheat is strongly ingrained in the culture of agriculture in Western Canada. In fact, we can’t stop bickering about it. The upcoming modernization of wheat classes is an even more confusing matrix of protein contents and gluten strengths. Wheat variety registration has often been a battle royal. You ’d t h i n k w e w o u l d hav e stopped arguing over the Canadian

Wheat Board by now, but some producers just can’t let it go, and the media gives this left wing fringe much more attention than it warrants. So if wheat (taehw) was a brand new cropping option for the Prairies, would you grow it when the price is a mere 10 or 11 cents a pound? Durum makes more sense in the region, where it’s well adapted with a current price of around 13 cents, but it has many of the same grading and disease issues. Wheat has the longest production history of any prairie crop but some of the least value-added activity, so even that isn’t a redeeming characteristic. My guess is that if wheat wasn’t already ingrained in our production practices and marketing infrastructure, most producers would say that it’s far more trouble than it’s worth. As a new cropping option, it would be a nonstarter. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

ith all the debates raging on television now, at least on American TV, the value of these sessions in helping voters decide on a politician might be called into question. But I believe that anything that helps us make better decisions about our elected officials is good. I know many farmers say all politicians are created equal. (OK, I found a more positive way to convey the words that are typically chosen to describe our elected leaders). My work has brought me into direct contact with large numbers of our elected representatives and there are many I respect, a few I even admire. But many people have to learn by reading about what the candidates have said. Sometimes they might get to hear a sound bite on radio or TV. So choosing a party or candidate is based on a lot of bits and pieces. Online, offers a chance for more more in-depth and detailed media presentations. At The Western Producer, we attempt to provide our readers, online and in print, with more information about agricultural policy platforms and potential ag ministers’ views. To that end, we are trying something new — live debates. I am hoping that our live debate, with partner the Agricultural Producers of Saskatchewan, will give Saskatchewan farmers the chance to hear from the horses’ mouths. On March 22, APAS will host an event live from Saskatoon that will be broadcast on producer.com. Our users will have the chance to post, tweet and text message their questions to our editors and reporters covering the event and watch five candidates, including the incumbent minister, debate agricultural issues that face the province of Saskatchewan. While I don’t expect the same fireworks that the U.S. Republicans are experiencing in their debates with the incendiary Donald Trump, agriculture in Saskatchewan has plenty to talk about. Water for instance. I am thinking intensive livestock operations might come up. Non-resident land ownership rules are interesting to talk about. Research priorities and extension agriculture support, or lack of it, are topical. Let me know what is on your mind. See you on March 22nd at producer.com/whyagmatters. mike.raine@producer.com

In 1953-55, we had some of the wettest years of my farming years. In these years, the government put in dragline ditched to take the high water of the roads and sloughs. It also had a program for farmer to put dynamite ditches in to also alleviate high water levels. Then we got a few drier years and the water levels went down. In the late 1960s, the water levels rose again, so conservation and development areas were developed and laterals were dug following the dynamite ditches to remove the water from the land. Then farmers got V-ditchers

going from slough to slough draining their land into these laterals in the fall so they would take most of the spring run off their land. The ditches would then be closed prior to seeding. All rains in the summer they stayed on the land. All through this time there was no problems flooding the Quill Lakes, as there was very little summer run off to fill the lakes. The farms then became bigger with larger machines and scraper buggies, using laser guided scrapers to get complete drainage on their farmland, hence starting the flooding of Quill Lakes. Ten minutes after the rain stopped all the water left their land and moved onto the neighbours, flooding lands along the waterways to the

Quill Lakes. The drainage basin running into the Quill Lakes is 17 times larger then the Quill Lakes so if we get 15 inches of rain in the summer, the lake goes up 15 inches plus 17x15 equals 155 inches. So if 10 percent runs off of the fields, it would add another 15 inches to the lake. The lake would rise 30 inches. The problems will never go away unless the tap is shut off. No water should leave the land after seeding, barring a monsoon rain. Ditches have to be filled to control run off. I still use V-ditches on my fields, closing them in the spring. Who ever gave a farmer the right to drain and flood out the neighbours? Most drainage is illegal as mostly no one obtains permits. The only one way to solve the

problem is shut off the tap. If governments put a stoppage to drainage they will only hurt the small farmer by not allowing V-ditches to stop getting flooded out, as most large farms are completely drained. Everyone must do their part to alleviate flooding. Albert Schryvers Quill Lake, Sask.

WHY NEW ORLEANS? To the Editor: The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association appears to be trying to make its claim as a farm group by having its annual convention in New Orleans, Louisiana. More likely a tax deduction holiday then anything else. One has to wonder why this onetrick group (kill the Canadian Wheat Board) needs to exist anymore. The single desk CWB is gone, aided by the corporate donations to the WCWGA and the hundreds of thousands of dollars of research money the previous federal government gave them. Farmers now get to face the grain trade head on individually and without the market research the CWB used to provide. Farmers now have the “freedom” to deal with middlemen who now gleefully take what we used to get through the single-desk while the grain companies provide no price transparency. Producers have lost billions of dollars of revenue in the last few years due to the loss of the CWB and the excessive basis values the grain companies charged, and they will lose billions more this year as grain is sold in U.S. dollars, yet our price in Canadian dollars has not changed for the better. The hard assets we paid for, — such as the hopper cars, the building in Winnipeg, the two laker ships and farmers insight/control into the grain industry — are all gone with the loss of the CWB. With its membership the WCWGA should be able to have an annual general meeting around a kitchen table. It’s a national disgrace anyone can call the one trick WCWGA a farm group. Its sole purpose, when they were not working for the railroads, was to destroy the f a r m e r c o n t ro l l e d C W B a n d replace it with nothing. Its corporate party in New Orleans is a slap in the face to all western Canadian farmers, not to mention the taxpayers of Canada. Eric Sagan, Melville, Sask.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media helpled Trump bypass traditional sources PRODUCER ONLINE

ROBIN BOOKER

t is not surprising social media is saturated with news and discussions about American primaries, but there is something different about this election cycle. Republican front-runner Donald Trump has used social media and traditional media sources to keep

all eyes on himself . When Trump announced his candidacy in June he said some Mexican immigrants are rapists, and the American media began covering daily his statements and the reactions to them. He attacked journalists, other candidates, ethnic groups, celebrities and pretty much any group under the sun to stay prominent on news cycle and in social media, helped by his 6.9 million twitter followers and Facebook page with more than six million likes. A recent study on election influencers in traditional as well as social media from a research group at MIT Media Lab rated Trump’s

twitter handle, @realDonaldTrump, as the top influencer in the election because of his ability to manipulate both traditional and social media. In the study he placed well above mainstream media sources such as CNN or the New York Times. The traditional media’s power has been drastically undermined in this election as Trump brushed aside much of its gatekeeper function. “The old influence hierarchy has been shattered, replaced by a new mosaic of influence in which social media play a growing role,” said William Powers in the study published by MIT Media Lab.

Trump was able to effortlessly bypass traditional media because he used it against itself. He provided an easy target for editorial outrage, which likely would have sunk a traditional candidate. Multiple media sources claim Trump got his media tactics from his time acting in the World Wrestling Federation. It’s difficult to watch him at the podium and not see the similarity. At his rallies attendees cheer loudest when Trump says “get them out of here,” as security drags protesters out. The drama captivates the audience, while Trump leads it in another chant of U.S.A., U.S.A.

People who watch professional wrestling know the action is scripted, but the emotion it elicits is real for its viewers. Trump is not selling a coherent or realistic political vision, he is selling a spectacle. It doesn’t really matter whom he is fighting with, it just matters that he is fighting. The ability of traditional media to play a gatekeeper role is being undermined by social media, which some critics of mainstream media say isn’t necessarily a bad thing. And I’m sure Donald Trump would agree. robin.booker@producer.com

Wasted billions on multiple pet projects, sending billions out of the province on P3 projects so that it doesn’t have to count it as “debt” on the fiscal report card, paying certain landowners hefty prices for lands, while leaving Saskatchewan homesteads in shambles for mere pennies on the dollar of its true value.

HAPPY CWB IS GONE

WE SERVE YOU BETTER, WHATEVER YOUR FARM COLOR.

To The Editor: Re: Producer meeting calls for return of Canadian Wheat Board. I see Kyle Kyle Korneychuk and a handful of others want the CWB reinstated. He cites a study by Richard Gray comparing crop returns from then and now. I don’t think his figures have much creditability. Ken Sigurdson received 90 percent of the port price when the CWB was in place? I can’t remember ever receiving more than two thirds of the port price for my production, and had to wait for over a year for much of it. The wheat board supporters are comparing the port price under the CWB to the elevator price now. You can pluck figures out of the air to prove anything you wish; that does not make it so. The old producers that want the CWB back are responsible for less than 10 percent of production. Ask the producers who account for more 90 percent of production what they think about reviving the CWB. Roger Brandl Fort St John, B.C.

WATER DRAINAGE

Alberta nudges farmers on water regulations The Alberta government encourages farmers to do the right thing as a way to avoid the penalty part of enforcement BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It was once the obscure domain of behavioral scientists, but nudging is now a global enterprise. Companies, governments and non-government organizations are constantly devising strategies to “nudge” the public in the right direction so that people make healthy, sustainable and ethical choices. T h e A l b e r t a g ov e r n m e nt i s employing the nudging approach for its new wetlands policy. Alberta Environment doesn’t want to penalize or fine farmers who drain wetlands. Instead, it wants farmers to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. “We don’t want a heavy handed (approach),” said Thorsten Hebben, director of surface water policy with Alberta Environment. “It doesn’t make a lot of sense to come down with a hammer.” Alberta introduced its new wetland policy in 2013, and the rules for implementation in the province’s agricultural region were released last year. The new rules allow landowners to drain wetlands, but if they do, they must mitigate the loss by establishing a wetland of equal value. “We’re not saying, for example, a farmer cannot drain a wetland. He or she can, in fact, do that. We just like them to do it through the appropriate regulatory mechanisms,” Hebben said. “For every acre of wetland that is lost, as part of regulated activity or improvement activity, the applicant is required … to provide wetland replacement for that loss.” The Manitoba government introduced a similar policy last year to

ensure no net loss of wetlands. Keystone Agricultural Producers has committed to work with the government to create the regulatory details. “We just know the framework right now,” said KAP president Dan Maier. “We still don’t know the real nuts and bolts of it.” Getting Alberta farmers on board should be possible because most landowners and government representatives have abandoned the “drain everything” mind set, said Ward Toma, general manager of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission. “In the past 20 years, that attitude has changed,” Toma said. His organization supports the policy because it offers flexibility. Producers can still drain a wetland in the middle of a quarter section if they follow the rules. “It gives a farmer an option to move a wetland…. A farmer might be able to say, ‘can I put it in the corner (of the land)?’ ” he said. “It does offer solutions for farmers in this age of larger equipment and farming pothole country.” Attitudes toward sloughs and potholes may have evolved, but some landowners still view wetlands as a nuisance. Hebben said the government is partly responsible because it has done a poor job of communicating with landowners. “We as a society have historically failed the farmers. We haven’t adequately communicated to them the value to be derived by leaving that wetland on their property,” he said. “We tend to go to, ‘here are the societal benefits of (keeping) wetlands.’ Which is important but

SAFETY NET PROGRAMS

Alberta crop insurance changes include winterkill for alfalfa BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Alberta has introduced several major changes to crop insurance coverage and made changes to premium rates. The annual insurance program has been changed to include winterkill as a designated peril for pedigreed alfalfa seed production. Coverage will be available for the year in which winterkill occurs. Winterkill has caused alfalfa seed producers serious economic loss. Bee overwintering Insurance was introduced in 2009 when the industry suffered two years of abnormal overwintering losses. Producers will now have individual coverage and will receive a premium discount or surcharge based on their loss experience. For the first time, certified organic producers will no longer be assessed for uninsured causes of loss, provided the producer follows organic standards. Organic insurance prices will be higher than commercial insurance prices depending on the crop. For the first time in Canada, farm-

ers can carry malt barley insurance coverage. It comes at a premium price compared to commercial barley, but will provide more coverage for growers with malt contracts. The ratio of edible peas to field peas has grown steadily over the years and the insurance price will reflect the changes in edible peas grown. Changes will shift from a 70:30 edible-to-feed price ratio to a 100 percent edible pea end-use price. The change will include an increase in the guaranteed quality from a 3 Canada to a 2 Canada level. Yellow dry beans are currently insured under the “black/other” dry bean category. A distinct, separate insurance category will be created for yellow dry beans. AFSC clients will pay about six percent less in multi-peril annual crop insurance premium rates compared to 2015. Clients will also see a 14 percent increase in dollar coverage per acre in 2016. The increase is due to a combination of increasing spring insurance prices and yields. mary.macarthur@producer.com

doesn’t necessarily resonate with the landowner.” Hebben said policy makers and bureaucrats should alter the message. They need to emphasize wetlands’ impact on a farmer’s land, including what it means for groundwater levels, water quality and soil moisture content in the soil. Education and persuasion may change the minds of some landowners, but enforcement will probably be necessary in other cases. “We are very much a complaintbased organization,” Hebben said. “When there is an unauthorized wetland drainage … and somebody reports that, we do respond.” Cracking down is the opposite of nudging, but enforcement does focus attention on an issue. “There’s been a few high profile (drainage cases) … that ended up in court,” Toma said.

FINDING YOUR WETLAND Alberta producers who want to look at the sloughs and potholes on their land can do so at a provincial website called Geodiscover Alberta at geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/catalog/main/home.page. The Alberta government assembled an inventory of wetlands from 2011-14 using satellite images, land-sat data and data from aerial photographs. The inventory covers 99 percent of non-federal land, said Thorsten Hebben of Alberta Environment. “Your average Joe Public can go to Geodiscover … and zoom down to “That’s the worst way to raise awareness about regulations, but it has raised awareness around the

their individual quarter section, if they like, and identify where the wetlands on the quarter section lie,” he said. “That’s not with perfect accuracy. It’s not intended for regulatory purposes…. It is simply for information at this point.” The province developed the inventory partly so it has base line information on the number of wetlands. Alberta Environment says 64 percent of the wetlands that existed before European settlement have disappeared in the province’s agricultural region. regulations.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Alberta farmers do not own the water that sits on their land, whether it is in a puddle, a pothole or a wetland. That fact surprises many, said wetland specialist and biologist Jay White. As the principal researcher at Aquality Environmental Consulting, part of his job is to assess the permanence of water and help farmers and others navigate the sometimes choppy seas of regulation. The Alberta Water Act dictates that the crown owns all water, even if it’s a temporary puddle or pothole that holds water for hours or days or weeks, said White. “(Farmers) don’t own the water that’s on their land and they don’t own the land that’s under that water.” If a farmer chooses to drain a wetland and complaints result, an investigation is required. Depending on the situation, the farmer may be asked to restore the wetland to its former state, pay compensation or create equivalent habitat elsewhere, said White. Should the farmer refuse those options, it becomes a matter of enforcement, where there are fewer options. Alberta released its wetlands policy in September 2013 but the directives involving the settled or so-called white zone of the province were released in June 2015. Directives for the unsettled zone, the green zone, are slated to be released in June 2016. “All the tools should be released by this June for everything, so all the directives, all of the tools that we’re going to be measuring wetland performance on, and values,” said White. However, the principle of no net loss of wetland area is not part of Alberta’s plan, he added. In a commentary on wetland policy that was published last year in the National Wetlands Newsletter, White put it this way: “With losses of up to 70 percent of our white zone (prairie pothole) wetlands in the south, over 300,000 hectares of wetlands in the oil sands and over 90 percent of our wetlands in major urban centres, it is hard to argue with trying to continue to giving lip service to no net loss principles.” As it affects farmers, there are

various complicating factors involving wetlands, among them the fact that different pieces of legislation affect water differently. For example, those who alter a body of water can be in contravention of both the water act and the public lands act, depending on the type of water body, or body of water, that is involved. There is a difference between a body of water and a water body, said White. “That’s my favourite topic,” he said. A permanent lake or a steadily flowing river is a body of water. A water body could be a puddle, a stream or sometimes, but not always, a wetland. “Some wetlands are water bodies and some of them, a very small amount, are bodies of water. They’re permanent. So most of our wetlands … are ephemeral. They dry up by August. So they’re not bodies of water, they’re just water bodies.” Thus consultants like White must apply a test of permanence when dealing with complaints about water. A document released by the government in January gave guidance on that. Essentially, a water body that is wet in August, in an average year, in seven out of 10 years, can be considered permanent. If complaints relating to water bodies involve compensation, there is yet another wrinkle. The area covered by the water is usually bigger than the land under it, said White. That means, for example, that a farmer who has removed a wetland might have to pay compensation for four acres of water loss and two acres of land underneath it that was disturbed. The goal of Alberta wetlands policy is much less complicated than the rules surrounding it. That goal is to conserve, restore, protect and manage Alberta’s wetlands to sustain the benefits they provide to the environment, society and the economy. It is also clear that no two situations involving wetlands in Alberta will be alike, said White. About 70 percent of the wetlands in Alberta’s southern region have been lost.

POLITICS

Social media scandals dominate Sask. election Sask Party promises volunteer firefighter tax credit, while NDP vows to reduce number of MLAs and build a bridge BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Promises from Saskatchewan’s two main parties took a backseat to candidates’ social media activity and criminal records during the first week of the election campaign. It began at the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention March 9, where Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall told 1,000 rural delegates that a Saskatoon NDP candidate had referred to farmers against singledesk grain marketing as “stupid” in social media posts.

It went on to involve three more NDP candidates whose posts made light of violence against women, said Wall’s mother should have taken the abortion pill and even more egregious statements. NDP leader Cam Broten dismissed all four along with the campaign manager, former MLA Frank Quennell. It ended with Wall defending three of his candidates, who have criminal records after driving drunk. Amid all that, voters were given some hints of what the Saskatchewan Party or NDP would do if they

formed the next government. At SARM, Wall announced a $330 non-refundable tax credit for volunteer firefighters and emergency first responders. It would cost about $1 million a year and be implemented once the province’s finances allow. He highlighted the economic importance of rural Saskatchewan and said a Saskatchewan Party government would best guide the province through the current economic downturn. He reminded delegates the government kept its promise to reduce the education tax on property.

“If we happen to get re-elected on April 4 you should expect more of the same,” he said. Wall said he wouldn’t make big spending announcements during the campaign but that the most significant infrastructure announcement would be in rural Saskatchewan. Last week he announced a threeyear, $70-million plan for more highway repair and maintenance, a tax incentive for innovation, and a First Home Plan that would allow post-secondary students who participate in the graduate retention program to use unused program

Broten also addressed SARM delegates, where he admitted previous NDP governments had made mistakes. “I’m a new leader and I’m 100 percent committed to listening to you and working w ith you to strengthen rural Saskatchewan,” he said. He said he gets angry when he hears about the thousands of dollars rural residents pay for ambulance fees and promised to cap them at an affordable rate. Other NDP promises during the first week included ending the controversial management efficiency program called Lean, cutting the number of MLAs to 55 from 61, and a second bridge for Prince Albert. Meanwhile, Broten replaced candidates Clayton Wilson in Saskatoon Northwest with Dennel Pickering, Terry Bell in Regina Walsh Acres with Gloria Patrick, Cameron Robock in Estevan with Tina Vuckovic, and Mark Jeworski in Weyburn-Big Muddy with Karen Wormsbecker.

A second meat buyer for horses in Alberta is pushing the price of horses at the auction higher. Doug Verstraete, manager of Beaver Hill Auctions, said the price of loose horses averaged 55 to 60 cents a pound, but some prices reached as high as 70 cents per lb. “Just having another buyer alone helps the price,” said Verstraete of Tofield. “Meat prices are what drives the floor prices. There are lots of these loose horses.” Beaver Hill has a monthly horse sale, but recently added the extra monthly loose horse sale to deal with the number of people wanting to sell horses at the higher price. Verstraete said the demand for horses is higher because Canadian Premium Meats, a European Union approved facility in Lacombe, is buying horses at their auction market. Before, only Bouvry Exports was buying horses for its Fort MacLeod processing facility. Duane Daines of Innisfail Auction Mart said prices at their recent Saturday horse auction were strong for loose horses and horses ridden into the ring. mary.macarthur@producer.com

NEWS GLOBAL CONSOLIDATION

Independent seed producers focus on niche markets FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

BLENHEIM, Ont. — Global seed corn interests may have consolidated, but the seed corn production industry in Ontario remains diversified. Jeff Wilson, chair of Seed Corn Growers of Ontario, pointed to family-owned operations in the province as a positive indicator. “Maizex Seeds celebrated 30 years in business last year, and C&L Seed Production contracted their first acreage,” he said. “Along with these two companies, the other processors — Pioneer, Pride, Dow and Horizon — obtained an overall average of 104 percent of contracts last year.” Dave Baute said he moved much of his production with a scoop shovel when he started Maizex on the family farm near Tilbury, Ont. The company is now the largest Canadian-owned hybrid corn supplier with sales in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Eastern Canada. C&L was formed by Lyle and Lee Giffin and Chris, Craig and Dale Stewart, farmers from ChathamKent. The company focuses on meeting niche market demands for other companies, including for non-genetically modified and organic seed. “The entire project is designed to accommodate small to large contracts,” Chris Stewart told Seed Today magazine. “If a customer orders five acres or 100 acres of production, the facility will handle the acreage.” Other independent seed producers in Ontario are Horizon Seeds in Norfolk County and De Dell Seeds near London, which specializes in non-GM and organic corn seed. While the number of independent seed corn companies has grown in Ontario, it’s a different story globally.

but there’s still too much seed inventory in North America and lower than hoped-for sales to warrant an acreage increase. He said the corn growers organization continues to work on honeybee health issues, although seed corn in Ontario is exempt from government regulations intended to reduce neonicotinoid seed treatment use. Wilson said his organization is encouraging the Ontario Beekeepers Association to join the

National Bee Health Round Table. It also wants the Ontario government to monitor the number of rescue insecticide treatments used as the regulations are introduced over the next two years. Jim Zavitz, chief inspector under the Grains Act with Agricorp, said almost all of Ontario seed corn production is insured. More than $600 million in liability has been covered since 1975 with $40 million in premiums paid and $32 million in claims.

European planting outlook good despite weather delays Germany is about two weeks behind in seeding HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Prospects for spring grain sowings in the European Union are positive with recent delays not causing concern and a big area expansion is expected in Poland, experts said. Spring grains are the second round of cereals to be sown after winter grains and include spring barley. Favourable weather in France, the EU’s largest grain grower, should allow spring barley sowings to speed up following delays of about 10 days, a broker said. Spring barley should ideally be sown by mid-March in France. By

March 11, farmers had seeded about 50 percent of the planned area. Last year, when sowings suffered similar delays, good weather allowed farmers to seed more than 40 percent of the area in the week to March 16. Low prices mean French corn plantings, which usually start around end-March, may be six percent lower this year. In Germany, the second largest grain producer, plantings will be delayed about two weeks by a mixture of frost and rain but the delay should not cause concern, a German analyst said.

Wilson said he is unsure how the proposed merger between Dow and DuPont or the proposed purchase of Syngenta by ChemChina will impact the industry. “There is some thought that China will begin to accept GMO seed now that they have their own company with GMO,” he said. About 14,000 acres of seed corn were harvested last year, and it’s expected to be about the same this year. More than twice that amount was harvested in 2012 and 2013, and the 2014 harvest was close to 19,000 acres. Wilson said Ontario has proven itself to be a dependable supplier,

ON THE FARM

Couple credits award to ancestral passion Manitoba’s Outstanding Young Farmers say their ancestors faced challenges on the prairies with determination BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Jason Kehler had a fitting nickname while growing up on the farm near Carman, Man. He constantly talked about farming, so friends and family started calling him Farmer. Many found his fixation with farming admirable or charming, but his high school teachers didn’t share those feelings. The fall of 1993, Jason’s Grade 12 year, was a difficult harvest on the Kehler farm with soaked fields and crops. Consequently, Jason was out of school for part of September and October. He was busy combining canola and wheat and working the land, while his dad, Harv, focused on the potato harvest. “I was just all about the farm. My teachers … had a hell of a time with me in high school because all I wanted to do was farm…. The teachers didn’t have the same appreciation for (the farm work) as I did,” Jason said. “I think I got a bit ahead of myself (in high school). I got the distinct impression that the farm wouldn’t survive without me.” Jason’s devotion to the family farm and his love of agriculture hasn’t dissipated since he graduated from high school. In late February, his passion was formally recognized, when Jason and his wife, Laura, were crowned Manitoba’s Outstanding Young Farmers for 2016. Jason and Laura run a 5,600 acre farm, growing potatoes, corn, canola, oats, edible beans and soybeans on owned and rented land. Laura was raised on a mixed farm in Ohio and received a masters degree in meat science from Oklahoma State University. She then worked for a dozen years in research and product development for Tyson Foods and Nestle. Like many modern couples, Jason and Laura met online. “We met on a website called Farmers Only,” Laura said. “We tell everybody who asks because they (say) how and the heck did you meet?” After maintaining a long distance

ON THE FARM

THE KEHLER FAMILY Carman, Man. relationship, Laura made the decision in 2008 to move to Manitoba and join Jason on his family’s farm. Laura took a job as a senior scientist with the Food Development Centre in Portage la Prairie but gave up her position after her second child was born. Their daughter, Paisley, is four and Wyatt is two. “It was just way too much,” Laura said. “To be working off the farm,

working for the farm and having a couple of kids.” Since 2013, they doubled their potato acres and increased total farm acres by nearly 50 percent. They employ six full-time workers and that number increases to 25 people during the potato harvest. The Kehlers have farmed around Carman for about 27 years. Before that, Harv farmed near the family homestead at Rosetown, Man. In the late 1980s, Jason, with his younger sister and parents, relocated to the current farm with a plan to grow potatoes. Harv believed the Carman property would provide better prospects over the long term. “He told me back then, he was doing it so I would have more opportunity to farm,” Jason said. Harv and Jason farmed together during the 1990s and the 2000s, with Jason taking control of the operation in the last five years.

Harv allowed his son to participate in the farm at an early age because Jason was constantly riding in the tractor and doing every possible farm job. Jason is following that model with his kids. “I would say four out of six days I’ll have one of my kids with me for a few hours of the day…. I like to expose them to plants and (talk about) how they grow,” he said. “You don’t get to be a farmer when you’re 25 years old. You can’t create interest at 25. You can create that at five.” His efforts must be having an impact because Paisley is already on board. When Laura and Jason told her they were attending the OYF banquet, Paisley asked to come along “I said it’s kind of for farmers. She said, ‘Dad, I’m a farmer too.’ ” For Jason, the OYF award recognizes his and Laura’s work to expand the operation over the last

several years and is a tribute to previous generations. His ancestors immigrated to Canada from Ukraine in the late 1910s and early 1920s, settling at a homestead in southern Manitoba. “Could you imagine people 25 years old… in Montreal with literally $5 in their pocket, three little kids and a box of their worldly belongings. And (they’re) off to the Prairies to farm,” Jason said. “I’m so proud that none of them gave up. They all persevered…. Laura and I standing up there and taking that award was the culmination of all the efforts of my family over the last 100 years…. It really validated the effort my family has put into the farm over the generations.” The Kehlers will represent Manitoba in the national OYF event in November in Niagara Falls, Ont. robert.arnason@producer.com

Dinner in a skillet T

he dinner rush is a daily reality so having a few quick recipes that don’t use a lot of bowls, pans and utensils are lifesavers. Less dishes mean a faster cleanup. Skillet dishes are one option. A skillet is one of the most useful tools in the kitchen. A basic skillet or fry pan has flared sides, which make them ideal for quick cooking techniques like searing, sauteing and stir frying. A saute pan is similar to a skillet but with a large flat bottom and straighter sides. It is great for browning meats and recipes with more liquid or sauce that need to be cooked down. A grill pan has a wide bottom with ridges and shallow sides that make it perfect for cooking meat or vegetables. The ridges act like a grill and also allow excess fat to drain away while cooking. These skillets come in various sizes and finishes such as cast iron, cooper, non-stick or stainless steel. Caring for your non-stick skillet Non-stick skillets are relatively carefree but there are a few tips to get the best results and extend the

life of your pan. First, don’t use cooking sprays. Additives in the sprays can build up on the pan and cause foods to stick. If your pan does have buildup from cooking sprays, gently scrub it with a dishcloth and equal parts baking soda and water. Never use a metal or harsh scrubber. Season it by rubbing in a small amount of vegetable oil. When it’s time to cook, start by adding a small amount of fat or oil to create a layer of fat before the other ingredients are added. It will prevent sticking and is a good tip regardless of the type of pan you are using. Use wood or silicone utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Wash your pan by hand because high heat and dishwashing detergents cause premature wear. Once your pan surface starts to peel or pit, it’s time to discard it. Stainless steel Stainless steel skillets can be seasoned like cast iron skillets. The best tip is to add fat or oil before starting to cook and allow it to heat up to prevent sticking. If food does stick, add soapy water

COUNTRY KITCHEN

DOROTHY LONG and heat to a boil, allow to cool and then wash off food residues. Hand washing is best. If you would like to try seasoning your stainless steel pan, start by heating it over medium-high heat until it is hot, then add one tablespoon (15 mL) of vegetable oil. Choose one with a high smoke point such as canola oil. Swirl the oil to coat the pan. Continue heating until the oil starts to smoke, turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool completely. Discard any extra oil and wipe the surface of the pan with paper towels. Copper: Copper itself is not food safe so copper pots must be lined with a layer of nickel or stainless steel. Maintain the lining to ensure your

pots are neither pitted nor developing a blue cooper patina (verdigris). If this happens, the pans are no longer safe to use. If food does become stuck on after cooking, soak the copper pan and use a nonabrasive cloth or scrubber to remove it. Copper is prized in cooking because it offers the most even heat. It conducts heat so well it cooks differently then other kinds of pots. A good rule of thumb is to use about half the heat you would normally use and never heat an empty copper pan. Cast iron Cast iron pans take longer to heat but then retain their heat for longer than other pans. Be careful not to heat too fast or too hot because it will take some time to cool off the pan. They also require seasoning. To season a cast iron pan, wash with hot water and dry thoroughly. Preheat your oven to 450 F (230 C). Apply a thin layer of canola oil to the inside of the pan making sure to coat the sides. Use a cloth or paper towel to rub in the oil, then place the pan in the oven for 15 to 20 min-

utes. Turn off heat and allow pan to cool. Repeat the seasoning process two or three time and then as needed. To wash a cast iron pan, use hot water to remove the food and dry thoroughly to avoid rust. Never soak a cast iron pan. I put my cast iron pan in a hot oven for a few minutes after washing to ensure it is totally dry and often add oil to ensure that the pan is well seasoned. For tough messes, use coarse salt as a scrub. It is not a good idea to cook acidic foods like tomatoes using a cast iron pan because they can react with metal, causing off flavours. Skillet recipes often call for them to be finished in the oven so make sure to choose an oven-proof skillet. Use utensils that won’t scratch your pan such as silicone or bamboo. Also, try a splatter screen or lid when searing food to avoid greasy splatter on your stovetop. Enjoy these skillet recipes.

“As long as we are importing food onto this island, we are not competitors, we are colleagues, and we are stronger if we work together to grow the market for local food than fighting for market share,” says Stretch, recounting a lesson from one of her mentors when she started farming on Vancouver Island. Panelist Arzeena Hamir moved with her family to the Comox Valley in 2011 to start Amara Farm, producing transitional (now certified) organic vegetables for the local market. As she brought her first products to market, she realized some of the limitations of going it alone and connected with Moss Dance, another farmer from the area that was starting a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Hamir provided new offerings to Dance’s CSA customers, and the pair started selling at the local farmers market together and jointly branding their products. Five years later, Merville Organics Growers Co-operative includes five growers that serve a 90-customer CSA program, three farmers markets a week and supply product to the Tofino Chef’s Guild. “On my own, this level of work would flatten me, but our season last year was best so far in terms of stress,” says Hamir. “We share responsibilities for pickups and markets. We’re all in it and have something to gain from working co-operatively.” “People ask why we would want to co-operate with other growers who traditionally are seen as your competitors, but our experience has been the opposite. Working collaboratively has really helped us with our bottom line,” she says. For John Buchanan of Parry Bay Sheep Farm, collaboration began by sharing equipment with a neighbouring farm. “The first thing we co-operated on was with another farmer who was doing some hay. He got a better mower and we started renting it from him, then we did the same with the manure spreader and cultivation equipment. It was a pretty simple, free-flowing arrangement.” From there, Buchanan began marketing his lamb and chicken in co-operation with his neighbours, Tom Henry and Violaine Mitchell at Stillmeadow Farm, who raise pork. Sharing labour at the farmers markets turned into sharing labourers between farms. “We really like sharing labour. If they are working on his farm, it’s charged to him, my projects are charged to me, and joint projects are split 50/50,” says Buchanan. “It’s interesting for the workers and good for us because we have two people to manage and trouble CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The collaboration between the two farms has recently expanded into wholesale marketing and pro-

Farmers’ food donations get tax break FREELANCE WRITER

VICTORIA — Farmers give back to their communities in a variety of ways, but a recent announcement in the B.C. budget will make giving a little easier. The Farmers Food Donation Tax Credit is a new non-refundable income tax credit to encourage farmers and farming corporations to donate certain agricultural products that they produce in B.C. to registered charities such as food banks or school meal programs. British Columbia is the third province to offer a tax credit for food donations after Ontario and Quebec. The announcement is being welcomed by food banks and other charitable organizations, as well as the farming community. Laura Lansink, executive director of Food Banks BC, says research in B.C. shows that people who are low income do not receive enough fresh produce to sustain optimal health. “It is perishable goods, fruits, vegetables, eggs and dairy, that are the things we need to make sure they are eating more of, and they are simply not in adequate supply to our food banks. We see this literally changing lives,” she says. Over the years, many local food banks have developed business

it’s good to have someone who slows things down to look at them. It’s also really helpful if you have a peacemaker,” says Johnson. Success hinges on the commitment of those involved. “The project you are working on has to be worth it to everyone involved,” says Johnson.

and charitable relationships with farmers in their area. Ariela Friedmann of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank said the bank purchases and distributes 39,000 eggs each month, and last year purchased 700,000 pounds of fresh produce from local growers.

We really hope that we’ll get more farmers donating, and that those we are working with now will be rewarded for their efforts. ARIELA FRIEDMANN GREATER VANCOUVER FOOD BANK

“We primarily focus on opportunity buys like products that do not make retail grade,” she says. “We work hard on personal relationships with local farmers, and often they’ll add donated product on to what we buy. We really hope that we’ll get more farmers donating, and that those we are working with now will be rewarded for their efforts.” The credit will be 25 percent of the eligible amount of all of the farmer’s or farming corporation’s qualifying gifts for the tax year. The credit will be available to farmers, their spouse or common-law part-

ners or farming corporations who make a gift of agricultural products after Feb. 16, 2016 and before Jan. 1, 2019. Pete Guichon of Felix Farms and chair of the board for BC Fresh Vegetables already donates products. “Any time a charity comes to us, we’ve donated, whether it be no. 1 product or off-grade. We’ve never really put a value to it because there was no tax break before,” he says. “Farmers like to support any good cause and they’ll pay for it out of their pocket. It’s the nature of what farmers are, so this is a real good thing for the farming community.” BC Fresh is a grower-owned company that sells vegetables from more than 60 family farms around the Lower Mainland. For them, the credit is a positive step toward increasing the consumption of fresh, locally grown product. Brian Faulkner, vice-president of sales and marketing for BC Fresh, says the group also donates food through Ag in the Classroom and Take a Bite of BC program. “These organizations are teaching people how to use some of the vegetables, like red beets or rutabagas, so when they go back to the grocery stores with their own dollars they have the tools and techniques to use them,” he says.

CELIAC DISEASE

WORRY WART

Milk, unprocessed meat are gluten free

Fretting mother needs to find new interests

HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have been told, if cattle are fed grain, people with celiac disease could get sick, or it is not a problem. Also, can it affect a person if a dairy cow is fed wheat grain? Does the allergy containing gluten come through into the milk?

Celiac disease is caused by gluten intolerance. If people with this problem eat foods containing wheat, rye or barley, they suffer damage to the lining of the intestines. That leads to abdominal cramping, chronic diarrhea, weight loss and even malnutrition. Some people with gluten

sensitivity may also get an associated skin disease called dermatitis herpetiformis, a genetic disorder that affects about one in 130 North Americans. Those with gluten issues must read labels carefully but they can be reassured that by the time the beef or dairy cattle have processed their feed, there is no gluten in the meat or the milk. The animal breaks down grain proteins into animal proteins during digestion. So enjoy beef, lamb, chicken or other meat, but be aware of what’s in any gravy served alongside.

THYROID ISSUES

If I have hypothyroidism, low thyroid, do I have an increased risk of getting cancer?

The opposite is true. Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark did an extensive study of large numbers of women with thyroid disease.

They discovered that women with hyperthyroidism had an 11 percent greater risk of developing mammary carcinoma, whereas women with hypothyroidism had a six percent lower risk. Researcher Mette Sogaard said high thyroid hormone levels can have estrogen-like effects, which may explain why hyperthyroidism is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. The question that remains to be asked is whether using thyroid hormones to treat hypothyroidism may also increase the likelihood of developing the disease. Ask your doctor if your hypothyroidism is a result of an autoimmune disease known as Hashimoto’s syndrome. In this situation there is a 30 percent increased chance of developing thyroid cancer. A thyroid scan can pick up early signs of cancer, which is treatable if caught soon enough.

Technotill performs great in varied soil for over a decade Saskatchewan farmer Gavin Konkel says he hasn’t had to look for a better seeding system since buying the Technotill Seeding System 10 years ago. Technotill does an excellent job of direct seeding into standing stubble and also does a great job of placing seed in all kinds of soil conditions. Konkel and his father Gerald, crop about 3,000 acres northeast of Yorkton. He says the Technotill seeding system gave them the opportunity to move to notill cropping, without a great expense, and it has worked equally well over the years in wet and dry field conditions, and even knifed seed into sod without missing a beat. “We wanted to move to a one-pass seeding system without replacing our Morris Concept air seeding equipment,” says Konkel. “I know my dad had considered a few other systems before he came across Technotill. It looked like it could do what we wanted — allow us to move to a zero till system and provide precise depth control, while at the same time being affordable.” On their farm, which has gently rolling to flat topography and Yorkton Oxbow Loam, they like their Morris Concept as it was able to follow the contour of their fields while the Technotill seeding system placed and packed ¼ inch of soil on top of the seed no matter what depth the opener was running. “We always plan to seed to moisture so the depth of the

opener can vary from field to field,” says Konkel. “But the design of the Technotill packs just that ¼ inch of soil on top of seed, regardless of depth. We have seeded in a wide range of conditions. We’ve had four or five years of fairly wet conditions along with some dry years. During the wet years, as long as we are able to travel on the field we are usually able to get seeding. In dryer years we are able to be on the field and just run the opener deep enough to find moisture.” Konkel was pleased with how the Technotill system worked seeding into established sod on pastureland they acquired and converted to annual cropping. “It was a much less expensive option than the conventional system of plowing and discing the field.” Konkel has also been impressed with the low maintenance and trouble-free design of the Technotill seeding system. “One other aspect which is important to farmers is that they provide excellent customer service. If you have a question or a problem, or need to fix something there is no waiting. You can talk to someone and the materials are delivered when you need them. And when you are dealing with machinery good service is always a plus.” To learn more about Technotill or this families experience with the product Visit www.Technotill.com or call 1.780.382.9890

My mother is driving all of us crazy. She phones my home three, four or more times every week, always worried about something. With the economy in a downturn these days, she is convinced that I am going to lose my job, that our kids will come down with some kind of a life-threatening illness and that if I don’t quit smoking, I will surely be diagnosed with lung cancer. The fact I have not smoked for 17 years does not seem to matter. When not worrying about me and my family, she is driving my sisters crazy. I am sure that my mom means well and I appreciate her love for all of us but does she have to worry quite so much? Can’t she just let it be?

CELIAC DISEASE

Gluten-free diet requires diligent label reading TEAM RESOURCES

JODIE MIROSOVSKY, BSHEc

ur family has spent the last year adjusting to new food options after our oldest son was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. We are awaiting word on whether it might be celiac disease, an inherited autoimmune illness that affects the small intestine and can lead to an inability to absorb nutrients. Some people experience symptoms such as bloating, belly pain, diarrhea, skin rashes, brain fog, fatigue, hair loss while others have minimal symptoms. Blood screening and a biopsy are needed to confirm the disease. We wondered how we were going to make different menus work because not everyone needed to give up gluten. We received help from friends and family, organizations like the Canadian Celiac Association, Dieticians of Canada, Health Canada and product labelling such as GF. The Dietitians of Canada define gluten as a type of protein found in grains such as wheat, rye and barley. Many are adopting a gluten-free diet believing it to be a healthy alternative but such meal plans are only recommended for those with a medical condition and sensitivities. Eating grains as unprocessed as possible is a great way to get B vitamins and fibre. If you must change your diet, do not leave a food group out, but incorporate different grain options. Agriculture Canada reports almost one-third of Canadians shop for gluten-free food options. This number includes the 2.5 million people who must follow this type of diet for medical reasons. More than seven million people follow a gluten-free way of eating due to perceptions of a healthier way of eating or because a member of the family has a medical need to avoid gluten. Changing your eating plan means experimenting, talking with others and acquiring gluten-free recipes. Be sure to read labels, try alternatives and indulge in nutritious food

from a variety of food sources and groups. Our family now favours some gluten-free products more than the traditional wheat options. Glutino toasted bread with peanut butter or cheese is a family staple now. This website, www.celiac.ca, offers a valuable tool for shopping for certified brands. In addition, there is a smart phone app available. A print version of this resource is also available. There is also a restaurant guide for when you are dining out. Diet alone did not completely help our son with his health concerns, but changing our laundry/ cleaning and skin care products also helped. We have found great choices like

A team of writers from Glacier FarmMedia, which includes The Western Producer, spent four months tracking developments and interviewing experts on all sides of the debate to assess the value of CETA to Canada’s agricultural community. Parts two and three will run over the next two weeks. The agreement will likely come into effect in 2017, but still requires ratification from all 28 EU members, the European Parliament and Canada.

Dairy sector leery of EU trade ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT • The agreement is more than 1,600 pages long and is expected to increase trade in goods and services between the EU and Canada by nearly a quarter, by eliminating almost all import duties. • It is expected to lift EU output by about C$18 billion a year. • The EU market has 500 million people and annual economic activity of almost $18 trillion • In 2014, Canada exported $3.32 billion worth of agri-food to the EU. • Canada is the 12th most important food and beverage importer for the EU, and accounts for 2.2 percent of all EU agri-food imports. • Canada is the 10th most important destination for EU agricultural exports. • The EU is the second largest importer of food and beverages into Canada. • In 2014, the EU exported $4.63 billion worth of agriproducts to Canada. The main category includes wine, beer and spirits, which together account for more than 40 percent of total EU agri-food exports to Canada.

he man on the other end of the phone is confused. “I have not heard of this before,” Marek Nowak says slowly. “I am of no help for this.” He’s been asked about how the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union might affect Polish dairy farmers such as himself. However, like most European dairy producers, he hasn’t heard anything about the yet-to-be ratified trade deal. That doesn’t surprise Sylvain Charlebois, a professor at the University of Guelph’s Food Institute, who recently returned from a 10-month sabbatical in Europe. He said the deal hasn’t made headlines across the Atlantic. “It’s absolutely a non-story,” said Charlebois. “I actually didn’t hear about it once.… I was speaking to dairy farmers, and they weren’t aware at all.” However in Canada, it’s a different story. Dairy Farmers of Manitoba chair David Wiens said every time a trade deal is signed here, it raises concerns. “Because every time, there is a little bit more access given,” he said.

CETA will allow 18,500 tonnes of tariff-free cheese into Canada, including 16,000 tonnes of fine cheese, 1,700 tonnes of industrial cheese and 800 tonnes under existing tariffrate quota. And that doesn’t count the 13,471 tonnes of market access the EU already enjoys. Dairy Farmers of Canada equate the CETA concessions to a 2.25 percent reduction in quota or a farm revenue loss of $150 million a year. Miriam Sweetnam, whose family operates Sweetridge Farm near Winkler, Man., said it wasn’t the province’s weather that brought her family to Canada 15 years ago. “The draw to Manitoba was the quota system here. Yes, it’s expensive to get into, but you can buy quota in increments,” she said. “We are from Ireland, where the quota that you had on your farm was the milk produced on that land in 1983. So you couldn’t access any more quota to put up a barn, to pay for that barn, so you were tied.” Sweetnam and her husband wanted their children to have choices as they got older. “Our push has always been to be big enough to allow that second generation in, if that was the choice they made,” she said. “We saw what happened in Ireland with the quotas being dissolved, and we didn’t want to be in that position again. We knew we had to be big enough to be strong enough to take any blips in

the market, whether they be CETA or the TransPacific Partnership.” With that in mind, the Sweetnams expanded their operation and today farm 600 acres and milk 250 cows. Sweetnam said she believes Canada’s supply managed system remains — if not entirely intact — at least secure, despite losing market access to the EU. Anton Borst agreed the Canadian government isn’t looking to dismantle supply management, but he also isn’t pleased with the loss of market access. “Any time the government gives market share, it makes you concerned about how much the government is behind supply management, and in that regard it might make you a little more careful about when you expand and how you invest in your operation,” said the fifth-generation dairy producer, who farms near Elm Creek, Man. However, he said recent trade negotiations have shown the federal government’s commitment to a supply managed dairy industry. “They’ve demonstrated that they are behind it, but also that it’s not totally, necessarily untouchable,” he said. “In one way it’s reassuring, and in the other regard it is a bit of a concern.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 28

Will EU trade reap benefits for all? While many sectors are optimistic, one canola sector official says the ‘unpredictable approval process for biotech traits’ raises a concern for some people BY LISA GUENTHER GLACIER FARMMEDIA

anadian producers and industry officials seem confident that the new trade deal with the European Union will open the market door wider to the region’s 500 million population. It’s tough to “nail a number to the wall and say this is the benefit” farmers will see with the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement, said Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada. “While I can’t tell you it’s going to be X billions of dollars a year, I think that there are significant benefits.” Brian Otto, who chairs the Barley Council of Canada, has been farming with his wife, Carolyn, in southern Alberta for 43 years. For the last two years, he’s been working on farm succession with his son, who will be the fifth generation on a farm that grows a variety of crops from barley to safflower to pulses. Otto said Canada’s agriculture industry is competitive and exports are key. “And so it’s very, very important that our federal government continues to pursue trade agreements with our trading partners.” Otto hopes to see the TransPacific Partnership trade deal ratified with Pacific Rim countries and is glad to see the new federal government working on better trade relations with China. He also sees CETA as a “step forward.”

Otto said it grants more access to Canadian beef and pork, and more meat exports mean more demand for feed barley. “And that’s where the benefits to barley come because we are a major player in the feed industry here in Canada.” He said CETA also offers opportunities for Canada to create a food barley market in Europe, such as hulls barley for flour. Brian Innes, vice-president of government relations with the Canola Council of Canada, said the biodiesel market presents the biggest opportunity for canola in the EU, particularly France, Portugal and Belgium.

As tariffs come down and are eliminated, governments will turn to other things to block trade, and that’s why it’s important to have an agreement that sanitary and phytosanitary issues will be based on science. CAM DAHL CEREALS CANADA

“Germany could also present opportunity in the future,” he said. The European Union produces more canola than Canada, but Innis said Canadian market opportunities depend on the growing season and how much European

Canadian canola also competes with Australia, and demand in other markets will affect exports to the EU. CETA also contains promises to eliminate tariffs on some Canadian products. However, Dahl said that while he doesn’t dismiss the importance of tariffs, non-tariff barriers are often overlooked. “As tariffs come down and are eliminated, governments will turn to other things to block trade, and that’s why it’s important to have an agreement that sanitary and phytosanitary issues will be based on science,” said Dahl. For example, he said CETA provides a framework for handling mycotoxins, which is an issue for the cereal industry. Pesticide resi-

dues are another big issue. Innes said CETA also promises to lift tariffs on canola oil, but nontariff barriers, such as the EU’s “unpredictable approval process for biotech traits,” are also a concern. He said the EU has committed to a timely processing of new biotech canola traits, but a biotech trait approved in Canada in 2012 was still recently under review in the EU. Innes said potential benefits also include a science-based approval process, co-operation on low-level presence policies and reducing the negative impact of regulatory processes on trade. Increased market access isn’t the same as market share, but Canadian exporters have some experience in that area as well.

NICHE MARKETS

Niche growers hope CETA will resolve GM issues BY ED WHITE GLACIER FARMMEDIA

estern Canadian farmland might not seem close to Europe, but for many farmers, European markets already seem right next door. “We talk to Europeans pretty well every day,” said Paul Gregory, a honey and forage seed producer from Fisher Branch, Man. “It’s an important market for us.” The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union will obviously affect the large Canadian export crops of wheat and canola. However, the biggest direct impact might be felt by the smaller crops, which already serve niche markets in Europe. CETA seems to protect the access that some of these crops have already gained. For others, the agreement seems to offer a way to build new markets with greater confidence. However, it’s safe to say one formerly major export crop sector is greeting CETA with skepticism. “I’m not sure how much difference it’s going to make,” said Eric Fridfinnson of Arborg, Man. “I would hope (that increased export access occurs once CETA is finalized), but the experience we had …” Fridfinnson is talking about what happened to Canadian flax in 2009 after trace amounts of an unapproved genetically modified variety

appeared in shipments to Europe. The EU closed its markets to Canada and now buys Canadian flax only for livestock feed, biodiesel and industrial uses. Flax growers were hit hard, and many stopped growing the crop. Fridfinnson suspects that European countries or special interest groups will continue to find ways to block trade, even if CETA creates more dependable access and systems to deal with disputes. He fears that forage seed exports will suffer the same fate as flax now that GM forage varieties are being tested. “Unless we can get the genie back into the bottle with Roundup Ready alfalfa, I think that business is at real risk,” said Fridfinnson, who grows forage seed for export. Gregory also grows export forage seed, but he’s more optimistic about the potential for CETA to preserve and expand markets. The zero tolerance policy for unapproved GM seeds now makes every shipment a gamble. “Right now, we cannot get exporters insurance,” he said. “If this GM seed is found too late in the system, we could be looking at a multimillion dollar lawsuit against our farm and against our business. There’s risk for the grower, the shipper and the processor. It’s something that we hope is clarified.” Gregory hopes that CETA’s dispute settlement and technical issues structure can

defuse these potentially explosive situations before they cause the kind of damage that has darkened Fridfinnson’s view. Gregory has seen Canadian honey shipments suffer because of the GM issue, and he hopes CETA can de-politicize the issue. “If we were to ratify this agreement, it would help our exports for honey.” Soybeans are another crop that could attract more attention in Europe as they spread west across the Prairies. Ernie Sirski, who has started growing the crop on his farm near Dauphin, Man., doesn’t expect CETA to suddenly break open new markets because a lot of Canada’s soybean crop already goes to the EU. “There will be some benefit for pulses and soybeans going into Europe, but it’s probably not going to affect us as much as other parts of agriculture,” Sirski said. However, he said protecting current trade will be a significant gain because access can never be assumed to be permanent, as the flax situation proved. As well, Canada might be edged out in the future if it doesn’t nail down access for its products. “If we don’t have a trade agreement, then other countries will, and we have to make sure we’re at the same table and we’re not shut out of markets we’ve been traditionally in,” he said. ed.white@producer.com

Charlebois said it’s a given that Canada’s next generation of dairy farmers will be operating in a different marketplace than their parents. “As soon as you start allowing more products from abroad, it really creates an imbalance, and then you’re forced to revisit how you manage the entire regime,” he said. “I mean, quota values will be affected, processing will be affected and how assets are evaluated will be affected.… It’s a start of a new transition period. I think the dairy sector … understands that the current model is no longer sustainable.”

It doesn’t mean the end of supply management, but it means producers and governments need to start planning for “supply management 2.0.” Charlebois said the stumbling block is that government has not been entirely forthcoming with a long-term strategy for Canadian dairy as it moves toward ratifying new trade deals. “We are signing these trade deals all over the world, but I think that someone has to start explaining to dairy farms that we not only need to think about the future for them, but we need to figure out how a new system could co-exist along with a strategy very heavily focused on trade,” he said.

We all share the same table. Pull up a chair.

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.

dairy supply management, and you can’t take the EU cheese deal as distinct from those issues. “Basically, the issue is that we’re awash in non-fat milk solids and cheese is an interesting product from the standpoint that it’s a mix of butterfat and non-fat solids. And anything that brings more non-fat solids in here creates problems for us on that basis alone.” Combine that with cheese export caps and a World Trade Organization ruling that Canadian cheese is subsidized if exported below domestic prices, and Canada’s hurdles multiply. “So the cheese that comes in here, we cannot offset by exporting,” Mussell said. Not that demand for Canadian cheese is high in Europe, if it exists at all. Sweetnam said she hasn’t seen a big interest in Canadian cheese when she visits Europe. “They are also very good at what they do, and they have a lot of artisan cheese makers,” she said. “Other Canadian products, yes, but not much interest in cheese.” Canadian consumers also tend to view European cheese as superior to Canadian product. “The other factor is the quality — the quality of cheeses in Europe is world renowned — and that’s why I suspect Canadians won’t mind eating more European cheeses,” said Charlebois. Dairy Farmers of Canada president Wally Smith said the organization has worked to promote Canadian cheese abroad, but it primarily focuses on the domestic market. Efforts to establish Canadian dairy products as the safest and most sustainable through the ProAction initiative and the Blue Cow logo will continue, he added. He said market losses resulting from trade deals such as CETA must be compensated, and money such as the $4.3 billion promised by the previous federal government after the Trans Pacific Partnership was negotiated is crucial. “(Quota is) my important asset that generates cash flow on my farm. It’s something that most of us have invested heavily in.… Now I’m left with less that 97 percent. I’ve given that up forever,” he said. “As far as the revenue stream is concerned, in that package of dollars for the dairy farmers so there is no negative impact, there is also a potion of that money that’s applied to the CETA negotiation.” However, no money will flow unless the federal government ratifies CETA and commits to its predecessor’s promise of compensation. Manitoba’s Wiens said for now, dairy farmers will continue to move forward. “We will do as we have done ever since the beginning of supply management — adapt.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

CETA not silver bullet for European trade Officials hope that processes governing the EU trade deal can nip issues in the bud before they escalate into political issues BY ED WHITE GLACIER FARMMEDIA

uch of Canada’s grain trade is housed in the towers at Winnipeg ’s Portage and Main intersection. In those towers, key marketing professionals are now examining how the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement could affect their companies, industries and interests. From institutions like the Canadian International Grains Institute to companies like Richardson International to organizations like Pulse Canada and the Canola Council of Canada, the free trade deal with the European Union seems to offer the potential for more exports. However, most see the European market as a tough nut to crack, CETA or no CETA. “They really don’t want to import grain. They want to grow everything themselves. They make it difficult for us,” said Richardson’s Terry James, who has decades of experience exporting crops to Europe. “ T h i s a g re e m e nt may h e l p resolve some of those problems, but it’s not going to happen overnight.” James has dealt with Europe both as a quality market and as a vexing and undependable market. For example, large and steady sales of flax were suddenly shut down in 2009 by the Triffid crisis when GMO traces were found in shipments to Europe. However, at the same time, premium sales of other crops continue year after year. “We’ll still sell durum to Italy. We’ll still sell high quality wheat to the U.K. We’ll still sell to markets from time to time that we can get our spring wheat into,” said James. The situation for pulse growers and marketers has generally been more relaxed than for genetically modified crops such as canola or crops that are already grown in abundance in Europe. Sales of Canadian beans, peas, lentils and soybeans have tended to occur without a lot of problems, and that’s something Pulse Canada wants to preserve, said G ord Kurbis, head of market access. CETA establishes committees and processes through which phytosanitary, GM and residue issues can be dealt with instead of allowing them to quickly escalate into political issues, Kurbis said. “If committees can be used to address problems before they arise, by harmonizing standards or approaches … then that’s great,” he said. It might be a key defence for Canadian exporters when dealing with hyper-sensitivity in the EU. “Tolerances and policies generally in the EU that relate to the use of technology in food production and just how satisfied consumers are doesn’t seem to be going the right direction,” he said. The Canadian pulse industry wants tariffs and other processing costs reduced so that they aren’t more than what is paid on raw seed

shipments. Kurbis said CETA should accomplish that. “It’s really creating an enabling condition,” he said. “We would like to be in the situation where we’re bursting at the seams with respect to value-added processing here in Canada, and the tariffs really are the only thing holding back the development.” The EU now applies pulse ingredient tariffs of 5.1 percent for fibre, 7.7 percent for flour, 12.8 percent for protein and $245 per tonne on starch. CETA clears away those

tariffs except for the one on starch. However, James said there are multiple risks when facing European regulations. The GM issue is a significant risk because of the zero tolerance for unapproved varieties. As well, phytosanitary issues can prevent ships from being unloaded, chemical residue limits can be set extremely low and new concerns such as requiring “sustainability certificates” can interrupt the trade flow. “These are all the other things that I see, one after the other, that

SASKATCHEWAN ASSOCIATION OF RURAL MUNICIPALITIES

SARM IN BRIEF

SARM vows support for agricultural sector

BY KAREN BRIERE

RMs will lobby for disaster mitigation program BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities intends to concentrate on agricultural issues this year, says president Ray Orb. “The agriculture sector will continue to grow, and supporting that growth will be key,” Orb told delegates to SARMs’ annual convention in Regina last week. He said this will mean working to improve productivity in rural Saskatchewan by lobbying for a national disaster mitigation program, better rural broadband, funding under the Building Canada Fund and keeping the railway revenue cap. SARM has also offered to work with the agriculture ministry to host an agriculture economic development symposium. “We need to look at best practices and success stories from those inside and outside our province that have been able to attract and retain agri-business successfully,” he said. Premier Brad Wall has described the agricultural sector as a “rock star” for its economic performance particularly during the last couple of years. Orb said SARM supports Wall in

his opposition to a carbon tax. “We are concerned that a national carbon tax may force extra costs on municipalities and all of our resource industries, including agriculture,” he said. Farmers can’t pass on the costs of diesel and fertilizer and should be exempted from the tax, he added. “By supporting pipelines such as Energy East and carbon credits for farmers who practice carbon sequestration, we can help mitigate climate change,” Orb said. SARM spent the past year working to improve governance practices. Fourteen amendments to update bylaws passed during the convention. In elections, Carmen Sterling won a narrow 200-195 vote for vicepresident over Harvey Malanowich from Division 4, who had been acting vice-president since the position became vacant. That left Division 1 open and led to a three-way race, which was won by William Huber. Malanowich was unopposed in Division 4. Division 3 director Larry Grant was also returned by acclamation. In Division 5, incumbent Judy Harwood defeated challenger Murray Purcell. karen.briere@producer.com

REGINA BUREAU

Grain bag disposal, wild boar elimination and the health of first responders were all issues brought to the forefront at last week’s Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention. Eric Gray from the RM of Indian Head raised the grain bag issue, saying too few farmers practise diligence and proper disposal. “It seems to me, as a custom sprayer applicator, it works really well what they do with the chemical totes,” he said, pointing out that a similar system could work for grain bags. Chemical retailers charge deposits, sometimes as much as $500, on the totes, Gray said. He moved a resolution asking

SARM to lobby the province to require retailers to charge a deposit at the point of sale, which would be refunded when the used bag is returned for disposal. The resolution passed, but not without opposition. One delegate said taking grain bags that aren’t completely empty into towns and villages for disposal could cause problems. “We’ll have rats galore,” he warned. Incinerating comments Delegates also repeated support for a resolution from the 2015 mid-term convention that the environment ministry allow municipalities to operate incinerators. John Wagner from the RM of Piapot said he tried to work with provincial officials. “It’s an incinerator, not a nuclear reactor for crying out loud,” he said to laughter from the crowd. “Frankly, I think we could do a reactor more easily.” Morgan Powell from the RM of Miry Creek agreed, saying the regulations are onerous and expensive. Boar wars

SARM passed a resolution to lobby for a refundable deposit on grain bags to encourage recycling.

RMs are pushing for an open hunting season on boars.

If delegates have their way, it will be open season on wild boar. They agreed to a resolution from the RM of Pleasantdale that wild boars be declared a nuisance and that the environment ministry allow an open hunting season.

But one RM representative said wild boar are clever and eradicating them in winter, with aircraft combined with people on the ground, is the only way to control them. Healthy first response The RM of Eldon wants help for volunteers who respond to accidents and then suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. The spokesperson said fire departments and first responders invest money in new equipment and training. “But you can’t train for memories, the sights and sounds and smells,” he said, adding the dismembered bodies, screams and smell of blood don’t go away easily. Delegates voted 92 percent in favour of lobbying the province for a program that ensures treatment for volunteer personnel suffering from PTSD. karen.briere@producer.com

SARM CONVENTION

Sask. landowners want hunters to ask permission to enter land BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan landowners want more control over who can access their land. Delegates to last week’s Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities convention narrowly passed two resolutions that would require hunters to ask permission for access. Saskatchewan and New Brunswick are the only two provinces

that don’t require permission to enter private land, said a motion by the RM of Viscount. It said more than one group of hunters can be on a particular field during bird hunting season, leading to disputes over which group has the right to be there. It asked the SARM board to lobby the environment ministr y to change the province’s wildlife regulations and require all people to gain permission to hunt before

they enter privately owned land. The second motion, from the RM of Dundurn, said permission should be required to hunt on private or occupied crown land. A delegate from the RM of Marquis said he was against requiring per mission because hunters wouldn’t be able to reach absentee landowners. He said older hunters would quit, which could lead to an increase in deer populations and a corre-

sponding increase in chronic wasting disease. Lorne Scott from the RM of Indian Head said he appreciated the intent of the resolutions but also spoke against them. “We have (land) owners in Ontario and Alberta and at the same time we wish to reduce moose populations, for example, or snow goose populations,” he said, noting the number of hunters overall has been declining for the last two decades.

WASTE REDUCTION

British grocer plans to give leftover food to charities LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Tesco, Britain’s biggest retailer, has pledged to give leftover food from its stores to charity so that by the end of 2017 nothing is thrown away. “We believe no food that could be eaten should be wasted — that’s why we have committed that no surplus food should go to waste from our stores,” said Dave Lewis,

AGRONOMY

If you think rocket science is tough, try farming Agriculture’s complexity means that agronomic advice with solid science behind it is invaluable to producers BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Farming isn’t rocket science. It’s much more difficult than that. Understanding the complex workings of soil and plant requires time, effort and an understanding that conditions are constantly changing. Senior adviser Tim Eyrich of Agri-Trend put it this way at a March 2 regional meeting in Lethbridge. “What we do is harder than rocket science. You guys are in the manufacturing business.” Taking wheat as an example, “it’s a manufacturing plant for starch and protein. Your manufacturing plant changes daily. It may change hourly. You could wake up on a nice, bright sunny day on Wednesday, July 31, of X year and the factory that you have in the morning may not be the same factory you have in the afternoon. “Why? Cloud cover. Temperature could drop. What you guys do is a lot harder than rocket scientists. It’s tough. “And then you’ve got to make a profit at it. Ever found a rocket scientist that really had to make a profit? NASA’s pretty much got to pay what a rocket engineer wants them to pay.” Eyrich, a self-described “plant guy,” described the needs of crops

Farmers must understand the complex workings of soil nutrients and adapt to changing conditions if they are to operate efficiently. | FILE PHOTO and the role nutrients play in plant processes. Gerald Anderson, a Lethbridgearea crop adviser, said the 11th annual event is designed to give

farmers a chance meet and question experts. Anderson said agronomy advice with solid science behind it is invaluable to farmers. As an exam-

ple, he said retailers often recommend additional nitrogen as the answer to crop issues. “That’s because you get immediate visual response … but quite

often what you’re actually doing is exacerbating the existing problem because nitrogen is not the issue, or lack thereof. What is often the issue is either a lack of phosphorus or lack of potash or lack of another nutrient or combination of other nutrients.” Help for a crop problem begins with good soil testing, said Anderson. Inadequate tests from a small area are akin to examining a Quonset full of soil using a desk lamp. A & L Canada Laboratories president Greg Patterson also emphasized the value of good soil tests. “I’m concerned that people are doing a bulk sample on big broad acres, and getting a combination of soils in a pail that really are going to average nothing,” Patterson said in an interview after his talk. “ They’re going through the motions but they’re not getting good information to tell them what the spatial variability is in that field. So they need to do a little better job on understanding the production zones and the variability in the field so they can make good educated decisions on how to deal with it.” Patterson said site-specific soil tests are not needed every year but they should be done at least once to provide a benchmark. Then the effect of treatments can be better gauged. barb.glen@producer.com

CROP PESTS

Farmers warned to be vigilant for cutworms Cutworms are subterranean for most of their lives, which makes it a challenge when scouting for them BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

This spring is looking like it will be early and dry, which is when it can be trickiest to manage cutworms. “When it’s early, dry and cool, growers sometimes wait too long to scout for cutworms, thinking a field is just slow to germinate or to green up because of the weather,” said Jennifer Otani, a pest management biologist with Agriculture Canada. “But it can turn out that cutworms are feeding on slow-growing seedlings struggling to grow. If anything, we hope to emphasize that slow to grow or green up is a signal to get into the field to scout by digging around.” Cutworm species are subterranean for most of their lives, which make them a scouting challenge. “Some species have fairly hostspecific feeding preferences, feeding on only broadleaf or cereals,” she said. “Others can and will eat both broadleaf and grass or cereal. So, that’s bad news for a grower because last year’s moths laid the

eggs in the field, but the cutworm can sometimes eat whatever’s seeded in the spring.” In-field monitoring is one of the best and most enduring tools for fighting cutworms. “It’s tough to get done, but it’s also the most reliable way to know what’s happening in your field and if you need to help protect it,” she said. Almost 15 species are found on the Prairies, which makes scouting and identification important. Some are climbing cutworms and will feed above ground, but they go under the surface or into the crown of perennial plants during the day. “Usually, we recommend that growers look for blank spots in the seed row: bare patches in the field or areas failing to green-up, any area where things just aren’t growing where they should,” she said. “In those situations, we often dig and we unfortunately find cutworms happily feeding on the germinating or newly emerging seedlings.” Subterranean cutworms will often pull portions of the plant

SCOUTING FOR CUTWORMS • Scout early in spring, preferably before but absolutely seven to 14 days after seeding. • Investigate unusual bare patches (knolls, low spots), “blanks” in the seed row where plants appear to be missing. • Investigate unusual, large flocks of birds resting on areas of the field. Crows and pigeons will feed on cutworms. • Check within the seed row, crown or at the base of plants. Sometimes worms will sit just below the soil surface at the base of a plant.

In-field monitoring is one of the best tools for fighting cutworms. | FILE PHOTO back underground to feed on or clip the plant just below the soil surface. Climbing cutworms that crawl above ground at dusk or even into the early morning can be found eating foliage. It can be hard to find cutworms. Subterranean species are underground or embedded within a plant crown day and night, so they require digging to locate. Climbing cutworms will emerge to feed above ground at dusk, but they

move back under the soil surface during the day. When it comes to climbing cutworms, Otani urged growers to go out late in the day or early in the morning because that is when they are visible. “It’s really great when you see them feeding, because you can quantify how many are there per metre squared and compare it to the normal thresholds available to help manage cutworms,” she said.

• Dig where plants are green or remaining. Cutworms need to feed and will not linger in bare soil or in dead and dying vegetation. • Check in the early morning or later in evening. Climbing cutworms move above the soil surface to feed on foliage at dusk, and sometimes they are still feeding early in the morning. • Stay in the top five to six centimetres of the soil surface when digging. • Continue to scout into early June. Some cutworm species remain in the larval stages until mid-June.

CROP PESTS

Cutworms come in many kinds

www.secan.com

Farmers are starting to find more than one species in their fields, complicating control BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Growers are starting to find more than one species of cutworms in their fields, which makes it more difficult to deal with the pests. “When we do find a field with high densities, it appears that we’re finding multiple species of cutworms, which we refer to as a ‘complex,’ ” says Jennifer Otani, a pest management biologist with Agriculture Canada. “We’re also encountering these complexes more frequently than the historical records seem to suggest occur. Growers used to find single species. “For example, the field would be overrun with either redbacked or pale western cutworm, whereas many of the fields we now visit are occupied by three to five species of cutworms.... “And we seem to be encountering some of the less common species, like dingy and bristly cutworms in these complexes.” Additional species add to management issues. For example, dingy cutworms spend more of their annual life cycle as larvae than pale western cutworms, and it’s the larval stage that feeds and causes damage. “With dingy cutworms, larvae emerge from eggs in the fall and then overwinter, which means that they exist within a field for multiple months and pupate in mid-July ... compared to something like a pale western cutworm, which hatches in the spring and exists in a field for eight-to-10 weeks,” Otani said. “The presence of dingy cutworms can mean growers are dealing with a longer period of larval activity within their fields.”

A DECADE AGO

Income stabilization program raises fears FROM THE ARCHIVES

Auction to raise money to help the British Empire fight the war.

50 YEARS AGO: MARCH 17, 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 20, 1941 The prairie wheat pools’ response to the federal government’s new wheat policy prompted a large red headline at the top of the front page. The pools said reducing wheat production by nine million acres was too drastic a move for one year, and the proposed 70 cent wheat price was too low. Holstein breeders were donating 75 to 100 calves for a War Effort Calf

Farmers were told they would have to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan if their income was more than $800. However, each individual would receive a $600 exemption. Manitoba vegetable growers met in East St. Paul to form Vegetable Producers of Manitoba, which was dedicated to abolishing all compulsory aspects of the Manitoba Vegetable Marketing Commission.

25 YEARS AGO: MARCH 21, 1991 Farmers received mixed signals from the federal government about how much financial help they could expect. Finance minister Michael Wilson said the expected $750 to $900 million Canadian Wheat Board deficit would have to come out of the $1.3 billion increase in agricultural spending, as would the final grain

grams. However, agriculture minister Don Mazankowski, who was to become finance minister later that year, said it still wasn’t clear what the CWB deficit would be. Alberta and Manitoba announced what farmers would pay in premiums for the new Gross Revenue Insurance Plan, but the program was far from accepted on the Prairies. A government official said GRIP was changing farmers’ attitudes and putting a new face on their pessimism. Farmers used to worry that prices wouldn’t improve, the official said, but now they worried prices would improve and they would be stuck paying premiums on a program that didn’t pay out.

10 YEARS AGO: MARCH 16, 2006 Criticism was mounting over how the Canadian Agriculture Income Stabilization program served livestock producers. Critics said the flawed program was now jeopardizing many small prairie farms. A British Columbia teenager was nominated for a governor general’s award for bravery for fighting off a 2,300 pound bull that was attacking her father. Fifteen-year-old Danielle Walker was helping her father, Carroll Walker, treat a bull for foot rot on their farm near Vanderhoof the previous summer when the incident occurred. bruce.dyck@producer.com

EGG PRODUCTION

Feeding camelina boosts omega 3 Researchers experiment with chicken diets CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Adding camelina to a laying hen’s diet could improve the omega 3 content of eggs. “It is not a perfect seed, it is not a perfect feedstuff, but it has some advantages that will represent good opportunities for broilers, layers and eventually turkeys,” Eduardo Beltranena told the Western Canada Poultry Research Workshop in Red Deer Feb. 29. Camelina oil is already used to make biofuel, bioplastics, lubricants, paints, cosmetics and cooking oil. Beltranena and Matt Oryschak, researchers with Alberta Agriculture, hope their work provides enough proof to list the oilseed as an approved feed ingredient. The crop is approved in the United States, where the Food and Drug Administration allows a 10 percent inclusion rate in cattle feed, 10 percent in broilers and layers and two percent in pigs. A 12 percent inclusion rate was approved last year in Canada in broilers, and the industry is waiting for approval of up to 20 percent in layer diets. The researchers have tried various levels in feed rations for the last three years to see how much birds and hogs are willing to eat and if it affects growth rates. Ten percent of the oil is left in the cake when the seed is crushed, and this byproduct is full of fibre, energy, protein and beneficial fatty acids. It is not perfect. It contains glucosinolate, a compound that affects taste and once caused thyroid problems in animals that were fed canola meal. However, that property has been bred out of canola. The compounds found in camelina seem different, and the researchers did not notice toxicity or thyroid problems in dissected birds. Canadian experiments with pigs showed 12 percent was enough because the animals would not eat feed containing higher levels. “We learned some lessons with pigs,” Beltranena said. “They went on a hunger strike. Pigs were 28 days late to market, feeding camelina.” Oryschak’s feed trials showed that poultry would eat feed with levels of 12 and 16 percent. “The main goal of the study was to see if the birds would actually eat camelina,” he said. “Feed efficiency suffered as soon as you went over 12 percent.” The researchers also learned that seed processing was important. Seeds must be rolled rather than placed in a hammer mill because the cake stuck to the birds’ beaks. “The birds went off their feed because they were walking around with beards of camelina cake around their mouths,” Oryschak said. Other experiments showed an increase in polyunsaturated fats in chicken breast and thighs in birds that were fed camelina. They also studied the effect of increasing camelina cake in laying hens and found higher levels of omega 3 fatty acid in the eggs.

“If the cake can enrich the eggs at 15 percent dietary inclusion, that means you can probably do the same with five percent full fat seed,” he said. Beltranena said camelina has a good fit in the brown and light brown soils of southeastern Alberta, southern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba. “This crop has the opportunity to be grown in some marginal lands and not displace canola,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

FOOD SECURITY

Clock ticking on climate change threat to African crops Study examines what crops will no longer be viable unless drought resistant varieties are found or production methods change BARCELONA, Spain (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — It will become impossible to grow some staple food crops in parts of sub-Saharan Africa without action to help farmers adjust to changing climate conditions, researchers say. Corn, beans and bananas are most at risk. In a study of how global warming will affect nine crops that make up half the region’s food production, scientists found that up to 30 percent of areas growing corn and bananas and up to 60 percent of those producing beans could become unviable by the end of the century.

Six of the nine crops — cassava, groundnut, pearl millet, finger millet, sorghum and yam — are projected to remain stable under moderate and extreme climate change scenarios. “This study tells where, and crucially when, interventions need to be made to stop climate change destroying vital food supplies in Africa,” said Julian Ramirez-Villegas, the study’s lead author who works with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security. “We know what needs to be done, and for the first time, we now have deadlines for taking action.”

Our findings show that time is running out to transform African agriculture. This will require not only increased funding but also a supportive policy environment to bring the needed solutions to those affected. ANDY JARVIS, RESEARCHER

For example, the study warns that 40 percent of corn-growing areas will require “transformation,” which could mean changing the type of crop grown, or in extreme cases, abandoning crop farming. Sorghum and millet, which have

that now produce 2.7 million tonnes, the study said. In a few places, the need to adapt to climate change is already urgent, the researchers said. Banana-growing regions of West Africa, including areas in Ghana and Benin, will need to act within the next decade, because the land is expected to become unsuitable for bananas by 2025. As well, corn-growing areas of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Tanzania also have less than 10 years left to change tack under the most extreme climate change scenarios, the study added. “If we don’t do anything now, farmers are no longer going to be able to grow certain crops in certain sites,” Ramirez-Villegas said. “But we know there are several adaptation options ... with which farmers should be able to carry on growing these crops for a longer period of time than we project.” The options begin with shorterterm actions such as improving irrigation and weather information services for farmers and developing new varieties of corn and beans that can better tolerate heat and drought. Su c h m e a s u re s a re a l re a d y underway in parts of Africa, including the Drought Tolerant Maize for Africa initiative that has released 160 varieties and benefited up to 40 million people in 13 countries. However, governments will still need to re-assess agricultural and food security policies to see whether bigger transformations are needed, such as switching to different crops or livestock. If so, they will need to help farmers access markets or build processing and storage facilities for new crops. CCAFS researcher Andy Jarvis, a co-author of the paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change, said adjusting national policies can take decades. “Our findings show that time is running out to transform African agriculture,” he said. “ T h i s w i l l re q u i re n o t o n l y increased funding but also a supportive policy environment to bring the needed solutions to those affected.” A separate study by researchers from Brown and Tufts universities said scientists have overlooked how two important human responses to climate will affect food production in the future: the amount of land people choose to farm and the number of crops they plant. Looking at Mato Grosso, a key soy-producing state in Brazil, they found that a temperature increase of 1 C was tied to substantial decreases in crop area and double cropping and accounted for 70 percent of the overall loss in production. Only 30 percent was attributable to falling crop yields. “If you look at yields alone, you’re not looking at all of the information because there are economic and social changes going on as well,” said Leah VanWey, a professor of sociology at Brown and one of the study’s senior authors. “You’re not taking into account farmers’ reactions to climate shocks.”

AFRICAN ECONOMY

Women take leading role in wake of Ivory Coast turmoil Females have faced decades of discrimination but are starting to make headway in government decision-making roles ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (Reuters) — Women have long played a dominant role in agriculture in Ivory Coast and in the sprawling markets where most Ivorians purchase their daily necessities. However, some are now breaking through into the most important positions in the country’s government, administration and business, which have long been held by males in this traditional society. In 2012, in the wake of a decade of civil war and political turmoil, Ivory Coast named Niale Kaba finance minister. She was the first woman to hold the post in more than a half

century as an independent nation. After years of stagnation, the West African nation is now among the continent’s fastest growing economies. Another woman, Massandje Toure-Litse, now heads the cocoa marketing board. Ivory Coast is the world’s leading producer of the chocolate ingredient, which accounts for 15 percent of gross domestic product and more than a third of foreign currency earnings. “We must value women with all their differences and in all the sectors of the workforce,” said ViaJuliana Akre, standing beside a row

Day captured Ivorian women in all realms of work from gas station attendant to plastic recycler to lawyer.However, despite some advances, many Ivorian women point to the challenges they continue to face. For example, while Ivory Coast saw the appointment of a woman to the rank of general for the first time in 2012, there are still only 26 female officers in the army. “There are many challenges, but the biggest is the inequality of the sexes. We are not yet considered as equal to men,” said Fleur Zebi. Zebi quit her job as a travel agent

in 2008 to set up her own travel agency. “There’s still too much injustice towards women,” she said, standing in her second business, a salon that caters to men and women suffering from hair loss. Discrimination often starts at a young age, said Fofanan Man, who began selling traditional, colourfully printed African fabric in the central city of Bouake nearly four decades ago. “Women still aren’t entirely free today. Education is the big problem for girls because parents prefer to educate the boys first,” she said.

EQUALITY

West African women march for land rights DAKAR, Senegal (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Rural women across West Africa marched March 8 to demand equal land rights to mark International Women’s Day as activists urge African nations to invest in female farmers. Women in the region lack secure access to land and find their rights under threat because land laws are limited and often ignored, said organizations such as Oxfam, ActionAid and the ONE campaign. Female farmers and agriculture workers are widely unaware of such laws, are outnumbered in local committees and positions of power and are absent from key decisions, the organizations said. Women in Senegal know how to apply for land ownership, but only group applications are accepted and only a small percentage of the requests are granted, according to the Prospective Agricultural and Rural Initiative. “Since women are underrepresented in local decision making, they find themselves doubly disadvantaged,” said Cheikh Omar Ba, a representative for the think-tank IPAR in Dakar. Women are demanding their land rights in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mauritania and Niger in the “My land, my life” campaign, four years after International Women’s Day was dedicated to empowering rural women and ending poverty and hunger. Women make up more than half of the agricultural workforce in sub-Saharan Africa, yet fewer than one in five own farms, according to the United Nations World Food Programme. “If women farmers had the same means and facilities as their male counterparts, they could increase crop yields by 20 to 30 percent and help prevent millions of people from starving,” said Kafui Kuwonu from Women in Law and Development in Africa. The organizations called on West African nations to enforce land laws and enact reforms to give women fair representation in decision making, protect them from land grabs and ensure they have the means to access and secure land.

DROUGHT CHALLENGES

ENTREPRENEURIAL FUNDING

Ethiopia faces seed shortage as rain begins

British charities use Dragons Den model to find investors

NAIROBI, Kenya (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Millions of Ethiopians, hit by the country’s worst drought in 50 years, need seeds to plant food crops and animal fodder during the current spring rain, says the Food and Agricultural Organization. It said planting for the March to May rain, known as the belg, is already delayed because families have eaten their seeds or exhausted them after successive droughts. “FAO urgently needs $13 million by the end of March to support more than 600,000 of the worst affected people,” said Amadou Allahoury Diallo, the FAO’s country representative. “It’s critical that we’re able to respond quickly and robustly to reboot agriculture now before the

drought further decimates the food security and livelihoods of millions.” Some 7.5 million farmers and herders need aid to produce corn, sorghum, teff, wheat and livestock feed, according to Ethiopia’s Bureau of Agriculture. Farmers need seeds not just for the current rain but also for the summer meher rains, which are due to start in June and produce 85 percent of Ethiopia’s food supplies. The hunger crisis is predicted to worsen until the harvest begins in September. Ethiopia’s government and the United Nations have asked for $1.4 billion to feed 10.2 million Ethiopians, which is the third largest appeal after Syria and Yemen.

An additional 7.9 million chronically food insecure people are receiving rations through the Ethiopian government’s donorsupported Productive Safety Net Programme. Funding shortages mean food aid is in short supply, and malnutrition will increase dramatically if donor money runs out in May, the United Nations has said. S ome 435,000 children are expected to become severely malnourished in 2016. Cows and goats are a critical source of milk for hungry families, but many have stopped producing it. Hundreds of thousands of livestock have already died, and the remaining animals are becoming weak and thin, FAO said.

BARCELONA, Spain (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Small firms in developing countries, many of them farming operations, will forge direct links to international investors under a new scheme to help them expand and bring extra income to poor communities. Five British charities have created a syndicate through which investors can back hand-picked businesses, using a model similar to that of the Dragon’s Den TV series, in which entrepreneurs pitch ideas

to prospective funders. Seventy percent of small and medium-sized businesses in developing countries cannot access capital, according to Christian Aid, which co-founded the scheme called Access To Capital For Rural Enterprises (ACRE). Investors often see deals with smaller companies as too risky or expensive, said Joanna Heywood, who leads ACRE. “There were a lot of enterprises we came across that were buying, or wanted to buy, from farmers and producers and wanted to grow and expand but were struggling to get beyond a certain growth stage,” Heywood said. The agenc y decided to look beyond its traditional work of aiding poor farmers in developing countries and try to address problems further up the supply chain. Christian Aid and its partner charities — Traidcraft, Practical Action, Twin and Challenges Worldwide — have a track record of working on agricultural commodities, fair trade and clean energy. They are hoping to secure investments in the “missing middle” of $200,000 to $2 million. They have found seven investors, including individuals and impact investment firms, which hope to channel $7.5 million to enterprises they will select from a pool of 100. The first deal involving a Zimbabwean company is now being put together, Heywood said. Martin Rich, an investor who advised on the creation of ACRE, said the new scheme would allow companies to access business support and “patient capital.” The financiers are planning to leave their money invested until a positive result has been achieved, which could be 10 years or more, according to ACRE. ACRE is targeting enterprises that could transform the efficiency or scale of the market in which they operate.

AFRICAN RIVER

Drought tames famous falls

Farmers across most of Africa are feeling the effects of prolonged drought, leading to shortages of many staples like corn. Many have already lost cattle and other livestock and have turned to innovative methods to survive, such as feeding maggots to chickens. But many fear the worst may be yet to come. | REUTERS PHOTO ALTERNATIVE FEED

Drought opens can of worms in Zimbabwe Farmers are raising maggots for feed and at the same time, reducing methane emissions HARARE, Zimbabwe (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Lovemore Kuwana cheerily lifts the lid of a container full of fresh maggots in his backyard, which he will feed to the poultry he keeps once the worms are dried. Amid Zimbabwe’s worst drought in 25 years, which has killed more than 19,000 cattle in the last few months and left 2.8 million people facing hunger, some farmers are looking to new food sources to keep their animals, birds and fish alive. As prices for corn and soy-based feed soar because of shortages, Kuwana is producing maggots — small, white crawling worms that feed on waste — to provide protein for his breeding flock of 120 freerange chickens and 1,000 quail. “I have struggled to find nutritious feed for quite some time now,” said the entrepreneur, unfazed by the stink of decomposing waste filling the air and the flies swarming around. In search of a solution, he began experimenting with maggots last September. “The results have been exceptional,” he said. This business is not for the fainthearted. For Kuwana, it involves stuffing pungent bird feces into an old, open 20-litre plastic container and allowing flies to lay their eggs there. Ideally, the maggot-breeding equipment consists of two containers stacked on top of each other, with holes drilled in their lids and the base of the top one. As the eggs start to hatch, the emerging larvae — the maggots — feed on the waste before crawling out to pupate in the bottom container where they are harvested and dried for feed. The entire process takes less than a week, experts say. “The birds can’t resist the worms,” Kuwana said, drilling through quail droppings to release an ava-

lanche of maggots and tiny fresh flies. “My birds now look healthier than before.” He said each container can house thousands of maggots. Maggots consist of 65 percent protein and 25 percent fat, compared with 35 percent protein in soy-based feed, according to Victor Marufu of the Zimbabwe Organic and Natural Food Association. The independent organization trains small farmers in maggot production. “The value produced from nothing competes with supply chains that are under heavy sustainability stress,” Marufu said. One kilogram of fly eggs turns into 190 kg of dried larvae in just three days, he added. For some, maggot production may be the stuff of nightmares, but others are hailing it as a dream come true for controlling waste and climate-changing emissions. They say it could be rolled out across Zimbabwe. “Maggots can be farmed at waste water treatment plants where primary sludge attracts a lot of house flies,” said Happymore Mbiza, an urban water systems specialist with the Chinhoyi University of Technology. A reduction in biodegradable waste feeding microbes at water treatment plants and landfill sites reduces production of methane gas and sulfur oxides, he said. The industrial process of producing maggot-based stock feed using a series of tanks in a purpose-built structure generates five times less greenhouse gas emissions than soy or corn stock feed, according to Chinhoyi University research. Two tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent are emitted for every tonne of stock feed made from maggots compared with 10 tonnes for soy-based feed. Experts say maggot production could help reduce Zimbabwe’s annual emissions of 417 giga-

tonnes of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. The waste sector accounted for 16 percent of national methane emissions in 2000, government data shows. Zim Earthworm Farms, a farming technology enterprise, is now looking to go commercial with maggot production after a year of trials. “We have been producing a size-

able amount of maggots that are killed in the biogas digester, dried and then mixed with the maizebased feed we produce,” chief executive officer Ephraim Whingwiri said. The mixed feed, which can also be fed to pigs and fish, sustains 300 chickens at Zim Earthworm Farms, but now Whingwiri is eyeing expansion.

V I C T O R I A FA L L S, Z a m b i a (Reuters) — Tourists staring in wonder at the full force of the Zambezi River cascading over Victoria Falls struggle to believe the region is suffering one of its worst ever droughts. However, local guide Patrick Sakala knows all is not well. Flows have dropped to 30 year lows at the waterfall that straddles the Zambia-Zimbabwe border as poor rains and soaring temperatures take their toll across southern Africa. “At this time of year, you usually wouldn’t be able to hear me over the thunderous roar,” Sakala said, pointing at rocks piercing through a vast sheet of water dropping 100 metres, twice the height of Niagara Falls. “You wouldn’t see those rocks. Yo u m i g h t n o t s e e a n y t h i n g because of the smoke all around you,” he added, referring to the clouds of mist beneath the falls. Kariba Lake, the world’s largest manmade reservoir, is only 12 percent full compared with 53 percent at the same time last year, according to the Zambezi River Authority. Kariba is the water source for a hydro plant that provides Zimbabwe and Zambia with much of their electricity, and power cuts have become a daily occurrence. The plant could stop producing power completely in six months if water levels continue to fall, deepening economic pain and increasing poverty, an official said last month. It is expected to hit 49 million people and force 14 million to go hungry, said the United Nations’ World Food Program.

SOLAR ENERGY

More grants, lower costs spark interest in solar Some programs also offer tax incentives BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

DELIA, Alta. — It took some armtwisting to convince Bob Sargent to install solar panels on his farm. However, the central Alberta farmer now plans to triple the number of solar panels generating electricity on his farm. “I’m really happy. It has been really good for me,” said Sargent, who farms near Delia. Four years ago, officials at Starland County encouraged farmers to install panels as a way to kick start renewable energy projects in the municipality. They convinced Sargent, a county councillor, to be a guinea pig for the alternative technology. “I’ve done dumber things,” said Sargent, who has two 10-kilowatt panels on two locations that power five shops, three houses and cattle waters. Sargent produces more power than he can use during the sunny summer and sells the excess onto the grid for a credit. In the fall and winter, when aeration fans are

running continuously, his solar power helps defray the $1,500 a month power bill. Sargent estimates that he generates $500 worth of electricity from the solar panels. He originally thought it would take 10 to 12 years to pay back the cost of the solar system, but great sunlight, good initial power pricing and no maintenance costs could reduce that to six or seven years. The provincial government’s new Growing Forward 2 program is designed to encourage Alberta farmers and municipalities to adopt solar technology, and Sargent plans to add another 10 kilowatts of solar panels to one of his farm sites. The program would pay $4,500 for each 10 kW system, or onequarter of the costs. Sargent said 30 kW of solar electricity generation would reduce his monthly electricity bill by twothirds. Under existing regulations, farms cannot generate more electricity on the farm than they use in a year. Barry Mason of Delia installed an

BARRY MASON ALBERTA FARMER

“They’re pretty expensive,” said Mason, who knew little about solar energy before he installed the panels. “I was pretty green when I started.” The panels are mounted 25 feet in the air on the ridge of his farm shop, which means they are out of the way but also out of reach when covered in snow. Mason’s power bill in December was $700, much of it being administrative, distribution and the other costs associated with a power bill.

He’s now looking into installing a battery bank, which with the addition of more solar panels would allow him to cut his connection to the electrical grid and eliminate his bills completely. “I’d like to expand. I might add it to the side of the building.” Helping lower the initial cost of the solar panels was key to the program’s acceptance, said Jordan Webber, economic development officer for the county.

NEWS » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE This included a $5,000 grant from the county and green electricity companies. Webber hopes 10 farmers a year will start adopting solar electricity. There isn’t a trip to the coffee shop when someone doesn’t ask Sargent about the panels. “It’s got people thinking now,” he said. Webber believes farmers’ land base and long-term view make them a natural fit for solar. Rob Harlan, executive director of the Solar Energy Society of Alberta, agreed. “We have a lot of space,” he told a group of farmers at a solar conference in Ferintosh. “There are lots of big barn roofs facing south, and there are a lot of opportunities.” Harlan has been a lifelong solar believer who lived off the grid in California for 25 years. He now

teaches solar energy classes at MacEwan University in Edmonton and travels across the province teaching solar classes. “I have a passion for solar.”

THE MOST COMMON 250-WATT SOLAR PANEL COSTS ABOUT

$300 The cost of solar power panels has dropped in the United States from $5 a watt in 1990 to 69 cents in 2014. Prices in Canada are $1.03 to $1.30 per watt. The most common 250-watt panel costs about $300. Germany is considered the model for solar generation. In 2000, the German government backed bank loans to encourage the sector and now has the largest

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 17, 2016

solar generation capacity in the world with 35 gigawatts of solar generation capacity. Eleven percent of that capacity comes from farmers. Germany produces twice as much capacity from solar than all of the electricity produced in Alberta. The most electricity ever used in Alberta was 11 gW. Alberta now has nine megawatts of solar capacity, which is barely a blip in the electricity generation. Harlan said Alberta is at a crossroads. It can follow Germany’s lead with solar panels installed on homes, farms and factories across the country or it can have centralized solar farms covering acres of land. Alberta’s first solar farm is planned for Starland County. The paperwork is complete and the new generation co-op has started to raise the $6.8 million that is required. “We’re hoping Alberta does both,” said Harlan.

Bob Sargent has photovoltaic panels on two farms, including ones mounted on the side of his shop. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO Seventy-five percent of the population of large centres don’t have the ability to connect to solar because of trees or they live in a condo. Harlan hopes solar panels can be built on schools and other large buildings and be owned cooperatively as one more way to increase solar use.

“Why can’t small producers group together to access powerful pricing?” he said. “That would help the economics of solar.” The provincial government has set a goal of producing 30 percent of its energy from renewable sources within the next 14 years. Alberta’s dry climate and low humidity, make it one of the best places for solar energy. Harlan said long days and bright summer sun as well as sunny winters are ideal conditions, and solar efficiency increases as the temperature drops. “Photovoltaic’s like it cold.” Every 1 C drop in temperature produces a .38 percent increase in solar efficiency. Alberta’s poorest locations for solar energy are better than any location in Germany because of extensive sun, cold temperatures and low humidity. As well, the price of solar is dropping quickly. Sargent originally paid $33,000 to mount regular solar panels on the side of his shop Another kind, shaped in a series of Ws and designed to be 30 percent more efficient, cost $40,000. The price has now dropped to $21,000 to $27,000, depending on the installation, without any tax incentives or grants. Sargent was paid 15 cents a kilowatt hour as part of a green pricing incentive program when he first installed the panels. However, the program lasted for only a year, and he was the only farmer who received the high prices before the existing electricity suppliers ended them. He is now paid eight cents a kW. It hasn’t always been easy to connect to the electricity grid in Alberta. The game changer for alternative energy in the province was 2008 legislation that no longer required small micro-generation producers to do the same paperwork as the builders of a coal fired power plant. In 1995, Starland County and its administrator, Ross Rawlusyk, wanted to hook the water pumping station for three villages to solar power. There was a 60-step regulatory approval process to connect solar power system to the grid and another 18 steps to sell excess electricity. Atco, the county’s energy supplier, sent it a 700-page file on how to connect to the grid. The solar panels for the pumping station cost $250,000 in 1996, but the same panels would now cost $27,000. “It brought a lot of value and education. I am not sure it will ever pay for itself,” said Webber. Three water pumping stations, one municipal shop, a municipal office and a water plant are now hooked up to solar power. mary.macarthur@producer.com FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE 44

SOLAR PROJECT

Excitement heats up over electricity generating farm Crowd funding campaign raises $31,000 initial capital for the solar project BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

BROWNFIELD, Alta. — Alberta’s first solar farm is set to be built and hooked to the power grid by the end of the year. The proposed 12-acre farm is expected to generate one to two megawatts of electricity, enough to power 400 homes, said Jordan Webber, Starland County’s economic development officer. “The people in the county are very excited,” said Webber, whose own 3,000 sq. foot home is powered by wind and solar energy and disconnected from the grid. “They’ve been watching solar technology for a long time.” The county was one of the first solar power pioneers in Alberta as it fought 10 years ago to reduce the unwieldy rules around microgeneration so that it could hook up its water pumping station. Four years ago, it encouraged farmers to adopt solar technology, and now members of the community have formed the Alberta Solar Co-op, a new generation co-op to fund the energy project. “This is a way everyone can get involved in Starland County and Alberta,” said Webber. A crowd funding campaign to raise the initial capital for the project generated more than $31,000 from investors, including activist and author Naomi Klein.

Placing solar panels on every house and farm isn’t possible or affordable, but buying shares in the solar farm is a way to allow people to become involved and eventually reduce their power bills through virtual metering. “This is an exciting opportunity for everyone within the region,” said Webber, who estimates the project will cost $6.8 million and be a model for similar solar farms across the province. “We’re happy the solar farm is coming to Starland,” said county councilor Bob Sargent, who has adopted solar technology on his own farm. “Most of the people in the county think it is a good investment.” Webber said 80 percent of the money will likely come from investors’ underperforming Registered Retirement Savings Plans and Tax Free Savings Accounts. The group is in the final stages of finding a location near an approved Atco distribution grid. The share offering will continue until the end of summer. mary.macarthur@producer.com

ETHANOL PRODUCTION

U.S. ethanol plant survives by squeezing more out of corn BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — A small farmer-owned ethanol plant in northwestern Iowa has accomplished what many other companies have been unable to do. Quad County Corn Processors broke new ground July 1, 2014, when it became the first ethanol plant in the United States to produce commercial volumes of cellulosic ethanol. It has since produced three million gallons of the fuel, which is 97 percent of all U.S. cellulosic ethanol production. The company was formed in 2000, and by 2002 it was shipping corn ethanol from its 18 million gallon facility, which over the years

grew to a 35 million gallon plant. The owners didn’t anticipate the rapid expansion in ethanol supply following the creation of the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard in 2005, and the plant struggled to be profitable. Chief executive officer Delayne Johnson said the company needed to find a way to make the business more profitable. “We started a research and development facility in 2008 looking for ways to get more out of the same kernel of corn,” he told the recent Commodity Classic 2016 conference. The result was Cellerate, a technology that converts corn kernel fibres into cellulosic ethanol. Standard ethanol plants convert cornstarch into ethanol, and

among the byproducts are valuable corn kernel fibres. Turning those fibres into ethanol allowed Quad County to increase its ethanol output by six percent. “We’re just getting more out of the products we’re already purchasing and processing,” said Johnson. “We’re making it more efficient. It takes us to another level of profitability.” It was also able to double the amount of corn oil produced at the plant and increase the protein content of its distillers grain to 35 from 31 percent, although the feed ingredient does have slightly lower energy content. The technology caught the eye of Syngenta, which is working with the Iowa firm to license the Cellerate system to ethanol plants in the

United States and Canada. Syngenta believes the technology is a good fit with its Enogen corn, a genetically modified variety that increases ethanol yields by up to three percent and decreases water, electricity and natural gas use. “We see (Cellerate) as another step in making the whole industry more efficient,” said Jack Bernens, head of Enogen for Syngenta. “We really saw a big opportunity to take a homegrown invention in the state of Iowa at a single ethanol plant and say, ‘we’ve really got something here.’ ” Bernens said if starch-based ethanol is considered generation one and cellulosic ethanol made from corn stalks and cobs is generation two, then Cellerate is generation 1.5.

Johnson said a more fine-tuning is required before the technology can be sold to ethanol plants. He said adding the Cellerate technology to all the cornstarch ethanol facilities in the U.S. would create an additional two billion gallons of ethanol on top of the 15 billion gallons already produced. The initial plan is to focus on the U.S. market, but Johnson said the company wouldn’t refuse business from Canada. “If somebody wanted to come down and look at our technology, we would definitely entertain that.” The company has tested the process only on corn, but Johnson believes it wouldn’t take much to verify that it would also work on wheat. sean.pratt@producer.com ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

Cargill limits antibiotic use in feedlots The action is to ensure antibiotic effectiveness in humans and livestock CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Cargill is trimming the use of antibiotics in its cattle supply amid concerns among doctors and consumers about risks to humans from antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The company started eliminating 20 percent of antibiotics deemed important for human medicine and farm animals from its four feed yards in Texas, Kansas and Colorado Feb. 26. It is making the same reductions at four feed yards operated by Friona Industries, which supplies Cargill with cattle. The changes affect 1.2 million cattle a year, which represents 18 percent of the cattle Cargill processes, according to the company. Cargill considered “customer and consumer desires to help ensure the long-term medical effectiveness of antibiotics for both people and animals,” said John Keating, president of Cargill’s beef business. Public health advocates, along with lawmakers and scientists, have criticized the long-standing practice of using antibiotics in livestock. They argue that it is fueling the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Agribusinesses have defended the practice as necessary to help keep cattle, pigs and chickens healthy and increase production of meat for U.S. consumers. In 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released voluntary guidelines for drug makers and agricultural companies to phase out antibiotic use as a growth enhancer in livestock. The agency said antibiotics could still be used to treat illnesses in animals raised for meat but should otherwise be pared back by December 2016 under a program to keep them out of the human food supply. Cargill does not use antibiotics that are considered to be medically important for human health for growth promotion in its four feedlots, a spokesperson said.

BIG IRON DRILLING: "Dugouts" New technology for spot free water. We have spent the last 8 years perfecting a dugout water treatment system. So if you have an old dugout or are hauling water, we have a solution to make excellent water from the dugout. This requires some planning as most work needs to be done in the warm months. The cost is comparable to drilling some wells but the result is excellent spot free water. And we never hit a dry hole if the location has good runoff and a good clay base. We also use directional drilling in most cases so the disturbance around the yard is kept to a minimum. We can place the inlets in most basements where we want them with a small access cut in the basement floor. We use no chemicals or salt and all waste water from our system is recycled. 306-736-9669, Kipling, SK. briantennant@sasktel.net

ENVIRONMENT

Fog collectors net scarce water from the air However, the technology faces a cloudy future because the equipment is often a challenge to keep maintained ILMASIN, Kenya (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — With a thirsty and impatient boy waiting nearby, Joseph Kipalian draws water from a tank and pours it into the boy’s bucket. The schoolyard water tank is fed from an unusual source: the air. Ilmasin primary school, in the Ngong hills south of Nairobi, is outfitted with fog collectors. These contraptions of huge metal and wooden poles hold mesh-patterned nets that trap fog droplets, which trickle into holding tanks. The project, set up by the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, aims to test the viability of harvesting fog to help provide a safe and reliable source of water in water-scarce areas. Bancy Mati, a soil and water engineering professor at the university, said fog collection is one of the cheapest and most environmentally friendly ways of collecting clean water. She launched the Kenya collector after a similar project, set up by a German nongovernmental organization, ran successfully in Tanzania. She said the region around the Ngong hills is a great place to collect water because it sees fog both in the early morning and throughout the night. The region is semi-arid and has perpetual problems with water shortages, she added. Fog collectors, if built at scale,

could help unlock the economic potential of dry but fertile areas such as Ilmasin by providing water for irrigation and livestock as well as for families, Mati said. She hopes the collectors could be used across the country, particularly Marsabit County in northern Kenya, another semi-arid region with plenty of fog. However, while the technology has been used successfully around the world from Chile to Yemen, keeping the fog-catching arrays operating in the long-term has proved challenging. The collectors in Ilmasin were

installed in 2014, and for a time they produced 60 litres of clean water a day, which is half what the school’s 340 students need. However, high winds destroyed part of the system last year, and wear and tear on the nets and poles is also taking a toll. Production is now just 20 to 30 litres of water a day, said Kipalian, who operates the system. That has led to water rationing, and Kipalian said he worries that women and girls will once again have to travel long distances in search of clean drinking water or spend money they don’t have buying water.

He said that when the fog collector was in full operation, school girls had more time for studies because they were spared the task of walking to collect water. Water was often available for livestock as well. However, Mati said she has yet to find continuing funding to sustain the fog collection system because nets, which are imported from Chile, and iron poles are expensive to replace, and timber poles have not proved durable enough. She hopes the government might exempt the nets from import taxes to lower their price and make them

more widely accessible. She is also looking into whether nets can be manufactured locally with an ultimate aim of installing one fog collection system per home in Ilmasin. John Simel, the Ilmasin school’s headmaster, said he feared the school might face health issues if the system fails and the school has too little clean drinking water. The area at times receives little or no rain over a six month period. He said the fog collectors have also helped the children better understand environmental issues and the importance of natural resources to local lives and jobs.

FISH FARMING

Algal bloom damages Chilean salmon SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) — A deadly algal bloom has hit Chile, which is the world’s second biggest salmon exporter. Nearly 23 million fish have already died, and the economic impact from lost production is seen soaring to US$800 million, say industry and government sources. There are so many dead fish that they could easily fill 14 Olympicsize swimming pools, said Jose Miguel Burgos, the head of the government’s Sernapesca fisheries body. Unusually high ocean temperatures, largely the result of El Niño, have fueled the algal bloom that has affected 37 of the nearly 415 salmon farms operating in southern Chile. Most of the farms are in ocean enclosures or in estuaries. “Temperatures are 2 to 4 C above average for this time of the year,” Burgos said. “There’s a lot of sunlight, a lack of rain and very mild winds, all of which are conditions for the micro algae to appear.” He said the loss is likely equivalent to 15 to 20 percent of Chile’s total production for the year. Producers cut their losses by converting the fish that can be saved into fish meal, while the fish killed by the algal bloom are not destined for human consumption.

CORN GROWERS MEETING

Great Lake states, Ont. target phosphorus Farmers in both countries are aiming to reduce losses by using cover crops and wheat rotations BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

Christine Brown says maintaining good soil structure through crop rotation and cover crops can help reduce phosphorus losses from fields. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO

BLENHEIM, Ont. — Ontario Agriculture’s nutrient management specialist says progress toward phosphorus reduction targets in Lake Erie cannot be measured by testing the water. Instead, the province’s farmers will need to work together on land to establish science-based models that demonstrate how improved practices provide a reduction benefit, Chris Brown said. “As farmers, we need to know what’s happening on our land. We need that information so we get it

right,” she told Seed Corn Growers of Ontario’s annual meeting March 7. Water quality in Lake Erie, which is the shallowest of the Great Lakes, is already being monitored. Unfortunately, it takes time for reduced loading on land to be reflected in the lake, Brown said. O ne reason is that the soilattached phosphorus already in Lake Erie is slow to be released. An agreement signed last summer between Ontario, Michigan and Ohio looks to reduce phosphorus loading in Lake Erie by 40 percent by 2025. An interim target of 20 percent was set for 2020. The U.S. commitment is for a

reduction of 3,316 tonnes, much of which is to be achieved within the Maumee River watershed that flows into Erie’s western basin. That leaves just 212 tons for Ontario, a far smaller amount but still a challenging target. There are non-agricultural sources of phosphorus, but Brown said agriculture is a major contributor because it’s the dominant feature around the lake. A good first step for farmers is to adopt the 4R approach: the right place, right time, right rate and right source for fertilizer. The voluntary, multi-stakeholder 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification Program

has already been launched in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. “There are now close to 4,000 farm operations certified in the States and it’s probably going to come here as well,” Brown said. Ontario farmers, including the chair of the seed corn growers association, are already adopting practices that help reduce phosphorus losses. Jeff Wilson said he now seeds a cover crop following peas and into standing seed corn. “As soon you take your corn off, it really pops and you get quite a bit of biomass,” he said. Cover crops and rotations that include wheat help improve soil structure and reduce phosphorus losses, Brown said. Wheat has also been proven to increase corn and soybean yields in the years after it was harvested. Phosphorus reaches Lake Erie either tied to soil particles or in solution. Brown said the contribution of individual farmers to reduce loading is slight, but progress can be made by working together. “If we work on a field scale, on a sub-watershed scale, we’re going to see some progress.” Brown said farmers can also reduce nutrient losses by eliminating fall nutrient applications, especially winter-applied manure on frozen ground. Research shows 80 percent occurs from November to April. Other steps include the establishment of riparian buffer strips and other measures that reduce wind and water erosion. As an alternative to fence rows, Brown suggested farmers consider grassed tramways for sprayer traffic and permanent buffer strips seeded to a biomass crop such as switch grass that might be harvested as an energy crop. Phosphorus loading in the Great Lakes was addressed in the wake of the increased incidence of algae blooms in the 1970s. These created oxygen-deprived zones in the lake and emitted toxins that affected the quality of drinking water. The incidence of blooms increased in the 1990s, even though the amount of phosphorus entering the lake had already been reduced. There is partly blamed on the increasing number of storms linked to climate change. “If we could stop all the soil erosion, we could get to our objective, but that’s hard to do when you get these intensive storms,” Brown said. Ontario farmers within the Lake Erie watershed and along Lake Huron’s eastern shore have access to the Great Lakes Agricultural Stewardship Initiative. “I think this program is a carrot, and we all like carrots better than sticks,” said Margaret May, field representative with the Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association. “If you bite enough of the carrots, you won’t see the stick.” The federal-provincial program pays up to $50,000 and will cover up to 60 percent of project costs in some instances. Even farmers who have already implemented best practices can access funding, May said.

WEEDS

Resistance fight goes mechanical Tillage might not be the tool of choice, but combing and cutting could have a place in the weed war Herbicide resistant weeds, despite n e w t e c h n o l o g i e s a n d re c e nt research, remains a challenge for producers globally. Herbicide resistance in Russian thistle recently turned up in Montana — page 3 of the March 10 edition of The Western Producer. Look for a series of stories in the Production section, beginning in this edition, that look at the issue from a prairie point of view. BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Organic farmers and farmers facing herbicide resistance have a new tool that some would call revolutionary. The CombCut mechanically removes broadleaf weeds from standing cereals without inflicting crop damage. The term “mechanical weed control” conjures up images of intensive cultivation and the associated soil degradation issues. However, selectively clipping broadleaf weeds in a standing cereal crop without hurting the crop can go a long way toward breaking weed cycles, and with no risk of soil erosion. The Swedish-built CombCut weed mower employs sharp little knives that slice the stiff stems of most broadleaf plants, including volunteer canola, while allowing pliable grassy plants to bend and slide through unharmed. It’s like a sc ythe with a discriminating blade. At first glance, CombCut looks like a swather with bright orange bristle brushes that sweep the crop and weeds into the fixed position cutter bar. In some respects, it resembles a stripper header. The cutter bar is fitted with teeth to direct ever y plant into the straight blade knives. All coarse plant stems are severed or severely damaged by the razors. Younger, thinner crop stems that offer no resistance pass through unscathed. The implement normally runs through at 10 km-h, but Swedish researchers say they have had good results all the way up to 22 km-h.

The CombCut tool can remove weeds from a standing cereal crop by taking advantage of the plant’s structure. | The cutter bar can run at a safe level just below the heads of standing weeds, while running it lower to the ground results in higher rates of weed kill and running right at ground level provides the best rate of weed kill. However, that may damage to the delicate blades. The machine runs on wheels, which should prevent a major wreck when run close to the surface. Timing is critical. The weed mower should be used only when the cereal crop is young and the plants still pliable. The blades will cut more mature cereal crops. The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences conducted field trials with the CombCut, reporting a grain yield increase of 76 to 94 percent on fields infested with thistle and docks. The studies showed a reduction in flower buds of 87 to 100 percent. It’s recommended that CombCut be used before the weeds have a chance to go to seed. They point

out that using a weed clipper instead of tillage leaves the weed seed bank undisturbed. Above ground dry plant matter for weeds was reduced 68 to 89 percent, while underground dry root material of the weeds was reduced by 66 to 79 percent. Even if the weeds aren’t killed outright, they are damaged to the extent that the crop will grow and outcompete them. Not only does this reduce herbicide use, but it also lets a producer kill weeds when wet weather prevents spraying. Colin Tanner, whose family organically farms 800 acres near Pense, Sask., and whose company, SonTanner Sales, is the CombCut dealer for the Prairies, said they imported a six metre CombCut last spring as a way to clean up thistles without chemicals or cultivation. “We tried it on 280 acres of cereals and 40 acres of fall rye. I was going to do test strips, but we had such a terrible stand because of the

drought that it wouldn’t have been valid,” Tanner said. “But visually, the difference was night and day between the CombCut acres and the acres I left untouched. “I’m going to conduct field trials this year. The University of Manitoba and the Crop Development Center at the University of Saskatchewan both have CombCuts, and they also plan on conducting field trials in 2016.” The CombCut reel is hydraulically driven. It mounts to a threepoint hitch at the front or back of the tractor. There is no draught requirement and no need for a high horsepower tractor. Tanner has about a dozen of the weed mowers on order with a handful already sold. The six metre CombCut has 150 blades, weighs 1,900 pounds and sells for about $36,000. The eight metre model has 210 blades, weighs 2,300 lb. and sells for about $44,000. For more information, contact

HOW TO USE THE COMBCUT According to the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences: • Crop timing is by far the most important factor. • Use CombCut when the physical difference between weed and crop culture is most significant. • Start as early in the season as possible, before the crop starts to form firm straws. • Comb through the flag leaves of the crop. Before the flag leaves are formed, the risk of harming the crop is minimal. • “Cut the weed before the seed.” • For best effect, cut thistle when it has six to eight leaves. If necessary, repeat the cutting after one to four weeks. Tanner at 306-546-5686 or visit www.justcommonsense.eu. ron.lyseng@producer.com FOR MORE ON ORGANICS, VISIT ORGANICBIZ.CA.

Resistant weeds found on half of Sask. acres The latest survey finds that wild oats continues to be the most common herbicide resistant weed in the province BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The latest Saskatchewan weed survey indicates herbicide resistance continues to spread, and more than half of the seeded fields in the province have herbicide resistant weeds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished the screening in the 2014-15 survey, but we expect well over 50 percent of cultivated land in Saskatchewan have a herbicide resistant weed,â&#x20AC;? said Agriculture Canada herbicide resistant weed expert Hugh Beckie. In the early 2000s, a base line survey in Saskatchewan found that

about 20 percent of fields had a herbicide resistant weed. About 40 percent of fields had a herbicide resistant weed when the survey was repeated in the late 2000s. In the 2014-15 survey 2,300 fields were observed in July after growers applied foliar herbicides so that only the weeds growers were not controlling were spotted. Wild oats continue to be the most common herbicide resistant weed in Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild oats is the number one problem because we find populations resistant to a number of herbicides. When you look at some

other annual grasses, we have green foxtail which is a problem particularly in Manitoba but also in eastern Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? Beckie said during the Herbicide Resis-

tance Summit in Saskatoon. Herbicide resistant annual broadleafs such as cleavers, kochia and wild mustard cause grief for cereal growers, but are especially problematic for pulse growers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly the trend is continuing upward which is what our model predictions indicate. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any new herbicide chemistries in the last 30 years so growers are going to have to use the same tools to manage their populations whether they are resistant or not,â&#x20AC;? Beckie said. The number of herbicide resistant weeds continues to increase, not only because of the lack of new

modes of action to kill them but also because they can easily spread from field to field. This summer Beckie, along with his colleague Julia Leeson and in co-operation with Manitoba Agriculture, will survey Manitoba fields for herbicide resistant weeds. In 2017, Beckie hopes to complete this round of surveys by monitoring Alberta fields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will really give us some good trend lines in terms of how fast is resistance developing, especially with weeds like kochia that we know can spread rapidly.â&#x20AC;? robin.booker@producer.com

Herbicide resistance major problem in Canada BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada places third on the list of countries with the highest number of herbicide resistant weeds. North America has more resistant weeds than other continent. Ian Heap, in charge of an international survey of herbicide resistant weeds, said herbicide resistance is having a major economic impact in several regions of the world.

Herbicide resistant weeds have been found in 80 countries, which Heap said likely costs producers billions of dollars every year. The United States has the highest number, while Australia has the second highest count. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the worst weeds in the world, ryegrass, pig weeds, echinochloa species, and we see herbicide resistance primarily in the main crops wheat, rice, soybean, corn, and to some extent cotton,â&#x20AC;? Heap said at the

Herbicide Resistant Summit in Saskatoon. Heap, who is executive director of The International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds, said practices in Canada have been gradually building up herbicide resistant weeds for a long time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada is a large country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used a lot of herbicides for a long time and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why there are many herbicide resistant weeds here that present a big economic problem for growers.â&#x20AC;?

No chemical solution for resistance Instead, farmers are told the problem will require an integrated weed management approach BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

“Roundup Ready corn, followed by Roundup Ready soybeans, followed by Roundup Ready cotton is not a rotation,” says Jason Norsworthy of the University of Arkansas. | FILE PHOTO

There is no chemical solution to the problem of herbicide resistance, says University of Arkansas weed scientist Jason Norsworthy. Instead, industry should focus on integrating weed management techniques to combat resistance. “Otherwise, we’re going to go through herbicide after herbicide, and we are quickly approaching the day where we will have no herbicide solutions,” Norsworthy told a recent herbicide resistance conference in Saskatoon. Norsworthy, who studies herbi-

cide resistance in the United States, said new herbicides are needed to combat ever evolving weeds, but herbicides alone will not stop the development of resistant weeds that result in massive costs to growers. “Thinking that a herbicide alone will solve our problem is not the way forward,” Norsworthy said. The cost of chemical inputs skyrocket once herbicide resistance evolves to the point where producers are forced into a resistance management strategy. American producers are spending US$40 to $150 per acre because of glyphosate resistance.

“If we take a look at the cost over the past 12 to 15 years, we’ve seen a 3 1/2 fold increase in seed prices,” Norsworthy said. “We’ve also seen an increase of about three to 3 1/2 fold in the price of herbicides associated with managing this resistance.” Norsworthy said a herbicide resistance treadmill has undermined the effectiveness of herbicides. “Roundup Ready corn followed by Roundup Ready soybean followed by Roundup Ready cotton is not a rotation.” ALS inhibitors were widely used in the U.S., but weed seed counts in the

soil soared once this chemistry stopped working. As a result, glyphosate was brought in to control the weeds, and there was a tremendous risk for resistance evolving. “Glyphosate controlled a lot of these weeds, but we had a few escapes, and those few escapes were ultimately resistant, and in hindsight it did not take us long before we lost that Roundup Ready technology.” PPO inhibitors were deployed to manage resistant weeds once g l y p h o s at e b e ga n t o l o s e i t s e f f e c t i v e n e s s, b u t a ga i n t h e fields had high weed seed counts in the soil. “We brought in the PPO chemistry at that point to solve our resistance issues, and what did we have this past year, we had PPO resistance,” Norsworthy said. “I don’t know what the next herbicide is going to be, but when you have high soil seed banks and you lose a herbicide, you’re setting yourself up for failure.” Crop diversification

Producers can reduce the weed seed count in the soils by diversifying their crops, including planting spring and fall seeded crops, increasing their seeding rate, decreasing row spacing, bringing some tillage back into their cropping system and trying to avoid spreading weed seeds with their combine with the use of technologies such as the Harrington Seed Destructor. “It doesn’t make any sense to me to see weeds come into a combine and actually be dispersed back over the field. Why do we not try to capture those weeds and destroy those weeds?” Norsworthy said. Using multiple modes of action when spraying is another aspect of an integrated weed management system. However, Norsworthy said growers need to be careful when using some products that advertise multiple modes of action. “Products can have a broad leaf material and it can have a grass material that’s mixed, and at the end of the day that’s not two effective modes of action on a particular weed; that’s only one effective mode of action,” Norsworthy said. As well, industry tends to reduce the rate of both products so that it can keep the cost comparable to other products in the market rather than doubling it. “The problem with that is if you have resistance to one of those herbicides, the other product is now being applied at half rate,” Norsworthy said. “It’s not going to be effective, and actually what it’s going to do is it will select for what we call low dose resistance over a very short period of time.” It’s commonly believed that the American experience in dealing with herbicide resistance is far worse than the Canadian experience. However, Norsworthy said that on a per acre basis, herbicide resistance pressure is comparable on both sides of the border. robin.booker@producer.com

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE

Growers urged to develop wild oats management plan Glyphosate tolerant wild oats may be the next HT weed, says scientist BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wild oats costs farmers in Western Canada half a billion dollars to control annually. That’s more than double any other weed species. Applying that much herbicides on one weed species has a heavy price beyond what it costs to apply that spray. It also places wild oats under heavy selection pressure. The wild oats that survive the herbicide onslaught pass on the characteristics that allowed their survival, and these characteristics rapidly spread in the wild oat population because herbicides prevent competition from other wild oat plants. Neil Harker, a weed scientist at Agriculture Canada, said this heavy selection pressure is causing wild oats to develop herbicide resistance, and growers will have significant problems managing the weed in the future. “How long can we say that the agriculture industry is still in good shape, or the agriculture economy, when we keep losing major herbicides,” Harker said. To illustrate how far wild oat herbicide resistance has progressed, Harker cited Dale Fedoruk’s examination of the weed during a presentation at a recent herbicide resistance conference in Saskatoon. Fedoruk, who is an agronomist and grain farmer in central Alberta, harvested wild oat seed that survived herbicide applications and sent them to a lab for resistance testing on three Group 1 and three Group 2 herbicides. The wild oats from each of the three fields that were tested showed resistance to the herbicides, but in one of the fields the wild oats showed minimal susceptibility to both the Group 1 and Group 2 herbicides. “In wheat there is not wild oat control for that grower, and there will be no options for some other growers like him, so that’s a sobering story,” Harker said. Avadex is a Group 8, soil-applied herbicide that controls wild oats as they emerge, but Harker said its prolonged use in some prairie fields will affect how long it will remain effective. “Unless there was a fitness penalty, this should not change at all for the (wild oat) resistance to Avadex, so maybe there is two or three years left of Avadex susceptibility on some of these fields,” Harker said. Hugh Beckie, a weed scientist with Agriculture Canada, said in 2014 that a risk assessment model he developed has shown wild oats is likely the next species to develop glyphosate resistance, which would drastically limit burn-off options for the weed. Instead of relying on herbicides alone to control wild oats, Harker said producers should adopt an integrated wild oat management strategy.

He designed two studies that show how farming practices can reduce the selection pressure placed on wild oats. The first study examined seeding rates, crop height and how rotating spring seeded annual crops affected wild oat pressure. Tall barley crops had less wild oat pressure than short varieties, double seeding rates caused less oat pressure than normal rates and rotations with multiple varieties

and crops had less wild oat pressure than a single barley variety grown continuously. “By doing one thing right, you can get a two to three times reduction,” Harker said. “By doing all three, you can get a 19 times reduction in wild oat biomass without any differences in the herbicide regime.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

WEED CONTROL

Study examines harvested weed seed control Volunteer canola was the best candidate because it retains its seeds high in the canopy, unlike wild oats which constantly shed BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Harvested weed seed control is a strategy to prevent viable weed seeds from returning to the field at harvest. It has proven useful in Australia in the fight against herbicide resistant weeds such as rigid ryegrass. Breanne Tidemann, a Ph.D. student at the University of Alberta, is studying which prairie weeds are vulnerable to the strategy by examining if they meet two requirements: seed height and seed retention at harvest. “If they are producing them any lower than 15 centimetres, then we risk damaging our equipment too much to actually target them that low,” Tidemann said during the recent Herbicide Resistant Summit in Saskatoon. “The second thing is seed retention. If weeds have already dropped their seeds to ground when we go to harvest, we cannot control those weeds with post-harvest weed seed control.” Tidemann has focused on wild oats, volunteer canola and cleavers to determine how they fit in terms of those two requirements. Wheat and fababean trials, at regular and double seeding rates, cross-seeded weed seeds and then

what is still on the plant at those times to get a percentage of the seed retained over time,” Tidemann said. Volunteer canola was the best candidate for harvested weed seed control because it produces its seed high in the canopy and also

retains its seed well. Cleavers were more variable between test sites and years, possibly because of variations in heat, precipitation and competition from volunteer weed populations. However, cleavers retained seed well until the time of wheat swath-

Wild oats is well adapted to a continuous spring seeded crop rotation, and almost 50 percent of western Canadian acres are in a wheat-canola rotation. Even if a pulse crop is added to the rotation, there still are three springseeded crops growing continuously, which wild oat favour. “If we simply grow the same crops at the same time every year, the wild oat knows when to drop its seed so that it gets plenty in the ground,” he said. Harker’s other study found that growing alfalfa, as well as a rotation that included winter cereals seeded at double rates and combined with an early cut barley silage seeded at double rates, both without any wild oat herbicides, provided similar wild oat control as a canola-wheat rotation grown continuously with full rates of wild oat herbicides. “In this study, some of the wild oat seed banks did increase, but we had four of those treatments with zero wild oat herbicides three years in a row where it was not significantly bigger than the canolawheat-canola-wheat rotation.” Cropping systems that allow growers to forgo the use of wild oat herbicide while keeping the weed’s population in check lessens the selection pressure for wild oat resistance to herbicides and will help growers prolong the utility of wild oat herbicides. He said wild oat resistance will continue to worsen unless growers diversify their rotations and start growing more fall seeded crops, silage or perennial crops. “We’re really just telling these weeds, ‘you can just continue as normal.’ They have no trouble

ing, and then seed retention declined rapidly. “In order to actually target them, we may have to include swathing into our harvest routine,” she said. The study found that wild oats is not a good candidate for harvested weed seed control, even though it produces seed high in the canopy. “The bad thing about wild oats is that they are consistently losing a large number of their seed very early on, to the point that the number of seeds we could collect is not really going to impact the population,” Tidemann said. The harvested weed seed control strategy includes windrow burning and rotting, baling, chaff carts and the Harrington seed destructor, which processes weed seeds through an opposing cage mill. robin.booker@producer.com

adapting or thriving in those systems,” Harker said. Perennial forages such as alfalfa compete well against wild oat because they have ample ground cover and are cut before wild oats have a chance to set seed. Organic growers throw wild oats off their regular life cycle pattern by delaying spring seeding with the hope that fewer wild oats will germinate later in the season to compete with their crops. Some conventional farmers seed as early as possible so their crop can get a head on the wild oats. “You often wouldn’t need a second application where the crop is so far ahead of the weeds,” Harker said. Winter cereals start growing in the fall and have a strong canopy by the time wild oats is ready to emerge in the spring. “Many winter wheat, winter triticale and fall rye growers don’t even need a wild oat herbicide.” “You can take away wild oat selection pressure with herbicides a whole year by just having a winter cereal crop.” However. Harker said producers who grow winter cereals continuously run the risk of downy brome pressure developing. “Doing the same thing over and over, whether it’s winter cereals or its summer annuals, is not going to get us where we want to be,” he said. “We need to rotate, to mix things up.” He said the development of herbicide resistant weeds hasn’t prompted greater adoption of integrated weed management on the Prairies, but that could quickly change as resistance to available herbicides increases. robin.booker@producer.com

DISEASE

Resistance requires an active fight Researchers say there are solutions to disease pests, but not enough is being done to combat the problem BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — The agricultural industry needs to take stronger measures to deal with disease pests, say researchers. The answers are in genetics research and careful use of existing resources and new discoveries, said Anne Kopecky Vidaver, a plant pathologist from University of Nebraska in Lincoln. She said the low hanging fruit has been picked with broad spectrum antimicrobial drugs. “We have to target the individual genes now,” she told Bayer’s AgVocacy Forum in New Orleans earlier this month. “Microbes can multiply and select faster than we can treat for them.” She said climate change is creating issues for agriculture, allowing pathogens to take root further north. “Asian soybean rust was predicted to take a century to get here, and a few weather anomalies brought it here in a just a few years after that p r e d i c t i o n w a s m a d e ,” s a i d Kopecky Vidaver. Margaret Riley, an antimicrobial specialist in the biology department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said she is one of the only scientists doing this research because the larger “pharma companies are not interested.” “ We n e e d f u n d i n g f o r t h i s research, even though it doesn’t pay dividends immediately,” she said. “We have to stop thinking that it is us versus them in agriculture. And we can’t just blame big pharma. They have to satisfy their investors.” Riley said government needs to fill a public need void when it comes to finding genetic solutions to pest issues. “And we have to stop looking for the big, super pill and we need to start using genetic tools to target pests. We don’t want to kill all the microbes,” she said. “We want to kill just a few pathogens by living with our microbiome. Some of the genes we are worrying about are 3.5 billion years old. We are trying to kill them after we have effectively selected them from nature.… Seventy percent of the antibiotics that are produced in the world are used on the farm.” Tim Landers from Ohio State University said the drugs and chemicals used in agriculture to control key pathogens are often poorly understood. “Antibiotics are precious resources,” said Landers, who is licensed nurse as well as a researcher. “We know that many are used in agriculture in very important benefits, but we need to better understand them and the relationship to human health.… There are hygiene activities that we could learn from agriculture and put them to use in human behaviour in hospitals and (other treatment and public facilities).… “We need more research to understand how populations can affect one another.” Landers said over-use of antimicrobials in the human population is creating situations that might

limit their availability in agriculture, and as a result, make food production more expensive. “Antibiotics are not as profitable as antidepressants, so research isn’t a priority for larger companies,” he said. In some cases, resistance in farmed food is already a serious problem, said Kopecky Vidaver. “Fire blight on apples and pears — there is no treatment. There is no effective alternative for that bacteria right now. Citrus greening is making (lemon and orange) crops potentially extinct in some places.” Citrus greening has largely been an Asian and African problem until

the past decade, when it showed up Florida, Texas and Mexico. “It is a serious problem, but cereals are under attack from spreading fungal diseases,” she said. Genomic research has identified a couple of genes that could provide resistance to citrus greening, but there is concern in the industry that a genetically modified plant might not be publicly acceptable. The researchers took exception to the GM and antibiotic-free labelling that is currently in fashion for retail food. “These labels are just hysteria. What does antibiotic-free mean?

This is not being done to protect antibiotics,” Kopecky Vidaver said. “Hormone free? It is not logical and not good science or public policy to tolerate it.” Landers said the public discussion about these issues detracts from the real problems in food production and public policy. “Does it mean the meat is healthier and better? No. It makes me a little mad when companies mislead people. It makes it harder to inform (the population) about decisions (in funding for research) they need to make,” he said. “The same people will expect to be treated with antibiotics when

they have a cold. We need more careful stewardship along with over-prescription in humans.” Kopecky Vidaver said there are alternatives to fungicides. “Everybody who does research in the area finds them, but controlling them and making them available to farmers has been very limited.” Riley said it comes down to money. She said her lab is one of the few that is looking at genetic evolution of bacteria for keys to the discovery of new microbial control tools from that “evolutionary arms-race.” michael.raine@producer.com

However, the Trans-Pacific Partnership being worked on by 12 Pacific Rim countries, as well as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and Europe, could fall flat if deals are not ratified. Members of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association were enthusiastic when the European deal was signed because it offered 50,000 tonnes of duty-free access. “Canada would be the only country with this degree of preferential access,” said Dennis Laycraft, executive vice president of the CCA. However Europe has a different approach to food safety for beef and

pork and large meat packing plants are likely to shy away rather than change their operating systems. “We have to have meaningful access or this deal isn’t important to us,” said Dan Darling, president of the CCA during the annual meeting in Ottawa March 9-12. The cattle producers were furthered rankled when Canada approved the BSE status of 19 members of the European Union and allowed their beef to enter the country. About 24 tonnes have been received. “This is a deal where there is almost no hope in hell there will be Canadian beef going to the EU,” said Tom Wilson of Ontario. Canada is now open to beef from Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands,

Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The problem is connected to technical conditions where the two trading partners have different food safety systems but the results are equivalent, said Ron Davidson of the Canadian Meat Council. Some European inspectors have visited plants and been satisfied but there are large vocal consumer groups in Europe who are opposed to imports, he told the CCA. The Europeans have approved hot water, recycled hot water, steam and lactic acid rinses on carcasses, half carcasses and quarter carcasses. However, the Europeans have not approved other antimicrobial rinse options used in the Canadian food safety system. Canada uses peroxyacetic acid (akin to vinegar) blends and citric acid that are approved as a food

product in the EU but not as a rinse for meat. “It is our intent to submit sciencebased applications for the use of PAA and citric acid blends as rinses in beef and pork establishments,” Davidson said in an email. The TPP agreement awaits ratification from the 12 member countries including Canada. The new Liberal government is reviewing the deal before ratifying it and has received 11,000 public comments so far, said Dany Carriere, director for Global Affairs Canada. “There has been a diverse set of views expressed,” she told the CCA foreign trade committee. Australia and New Zealand plan to fast track it, said Terry Meikle of Beef and Lamb New Zealand who is stationed in Washington.

RARE EVENT

Hog producers urged At first triplets, but wait, there’s more to check their feed BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Ractopamine additive is banned in some markets BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta hog producers are asked to protect pork export markets by ensuring they do not use ractopamine in feed. Pork from pigs fed ractopamine, a beta agonist used to increase lean meat, is not accepted in some of Canada’s major export markets, although it has been deemed safe by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the World Health Organization’s Codex Alimentarius. Canada’s ractopamine-free certification program is an industrydriven initiative to ensure producers keep clear of the feed additive, which is marketed as Paylean. “It’s to certify that our pork being marketed is free of ractopamine … to allow our purchasers to buy with confidence in a market that’s asking for ractopamine not to be included into the pig production model,” said swine veterinarian Dr. Egan Brockhoff. “It’s a critical component for us as pork producers and people working within the industry. It’s critical in that it maintains market access for us and maintains us in very, very large markets.” Brockhoff estimated the value of such markets as $300 to $500 million annually. However, the onus is on producers to buy feed only from feed mills that are part of the program or produce feed themselves that does not include ractopamine. Pigs fed the additive are not accepted at federally inspected Canadian processors. However, there is the possibility of accidental ractopamine contamination unless mills from which producers buy feed are one of three types identified in the program: • Type A feed production plants have no ractopamine on site. • Type B sites use ractopamine in cattle feed but sequence and flush systems before making other feed to ensure no cross-

contamination. • Type C feed plants are on-farm operations that do not use ractopamine and do not commercially market feed. Brockhoff said producers require an annual letter of guarantee from their feed mill that the mill is part of the program. The letter, referred to as Annex 3, is available online and should employ the exact wording provided. A list of feed mills that are part of the ractopamine-free program is available online and from Alberta Pork. “It’s critical that you verify that your mill is enrolled in the program,” said Brockhoff. The list includes 24 facilities in Alberta, two in British Columbia, 24 in Manitoba and 12 in Saskatchewan. Producers should also ensure they have the Annex 5.1 part of the program documents, which is part of the quality assurance program for pork, he added. Audrey Cameron, who oversees the ractopamine-free program for the Canadian Pork Council, said representatives from China and the European Union plan to visit Canada this summer and audit the program. Neither importer accepts pork from pigs fed ractopamine. “We all need to be on the same page and look at our responsibilities, review them and make sure that we are meeting the requirements of the program,” said Cameron. Brockhoff said China has indicated it will be more stringent in its audits. In the past, countries that violated the ban lost Chinese market access for a year, but in the future that ban might last longer, he said. The complete list of feed plants enrolled in the program can be found at bit.ly/22fYMzX. More information about the ractopamine-free program for pork can be found at bit. ly/22fZbP1.

Quadruplet calves are doing well on the Lamport family farm near Alida, Sask. When Calvin Lamport, son Layne and daughter Kayla delivered three calves from a five-year-old Charolais-cross cow on March 4, they were happy with the result. The cow had twins in each of the previous two years, so triplets were considered a bonus. But half an hour later, the cow had a fourth calf, bringing the grand total to 189 pounds of offspring. Two of them weighed 46 lb. each, one weighed 47 and the largest weighed 50 lb. “They’re all doing really well,” said Kayla Lamport on March 9. “Right now they’re being shared between two mothers so that they can all stay together. They just mix and match. The calves just kind of go with whatever cow is closest.” The Lamports bought a Holstein nurse cow to provide extra milk for the four-calf brood, which comprises two bulls and two heifers named Abbigail, Bruce, Charly and Duke. They are the ABCD of this year’s calving season. The Lamport operation, which also includes sibling Cole, raise about 80 head of Charolais-cross cattle. Kayla said the cow definitely has a future in the family herd. barb.glen@producer.com

COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LABELLING

Right to retaliate on COOL holds BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — Canada is maintaining its right to retaliate against the United States if it introduces any new form of country-of-origin labelling. “We need to have the tools to retaliate if we need it. We can keep that authorization indefinitely,” said John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. The United States published a final rule to remove pork and beef from the mandatory regulation, but some states have hinted at reviving the requirement in some form. “It will continue to come up,” Tracy Brunner, president of the U.S.

based National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, told the CCA’s annual meeting, which was held in Ottawa March 10-11. “There is always a minority who feel restrictions of trade can be in the best interest of business.” Tyson Meats has said its plant in Pasco, Washington, will accept Canadian cattle now that COOL has been officially repealed, but the company’s other three facilities process only American cattle. Those plants ship beef to South Korea, and that country has said it will accept only U.S. beef or beef from cattle that have lived in the U.S. for 100 days or from countries eligible to export to South Korea. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ALBERTA PORK CONFERENCE

Western Canada praised for keeping PED virus at bay While new cases have been confirmed in Ontario, expert says excellent biosecurity throughout the industry has kept the West PED-free BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Three new cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea were confirmed in Ontario in late February and early March. The virus was confirmed March 1 in a Perth County finisher barn, Feb. 29 in an Essex County farrow-tofinish barn and Feb. 24 in a ChathamKent County finisher barn. Two previous cases were confirmed Feb. 9 in Perth and Middlesex counties. British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan remain free of the virus, and the five cases in Manitoba have been eliminated, according to Alberta Agriculture veterinary epi-

demiologist Dr. Julia Keenliside. “We can say that Western Canada is free of porcine epidemic diarrhea, which is just fantastic,” Keenliside said during an Alberta Pork conference call March 9. “We are one of the few pig producing regions in the entire world that has managed to keep PED out, and I think we should all be very proud of that. I think everybody in the pork industry, from producers and people in the barn right up to our transporters, our veterinarians, our processors, everybody can take some credit for that.” Keenliside said environmental surveillance for evidence of the virus is continuing for PED and a

related virus, swine delta coronavirus. Evidence of the latter virus has been found in Alberta and Saskatchewan, but no barns have been infected. Both viruses have been deemed reportable diseases in the four western provinces. “If anyone suspects the disease is there, they see the diarrhea, the classical clinical signs, they are obligated by law to report it to the chief provincial vet for that province,” said Keenliside. She said Ontario, which has had 93 confirmed cases of PED since it was first found in Canada two years ago, has been steadily reducing the number of infected premises. Que-

bec, which had 16 infected premises, is now PED-free. “Pigs move a lot between provinces,” said Keenliside, which makes the recent Ontario cases a concern for all producers. She encouraged inter-provincial co-operation and continued biosecurity vigilance. New cases continue to be confirmed in the United States, where PED was first identified three years ago, but at a much slower pace than before, Keenliside said. “The U.S. does remain a risk of infection for Canada. I think we have to remember that assembly yards, particularly those that contact the U.S. in U.S. trucks, should always be

considered suspect.” The pork industry is also alert to the possibility of Seneca Valley virus affecting pigs. Though not particularly dangerous to animals, it has symptoms similar to foot-andmouth disease and can be mistaken for the trade-limiting illness. Seneca Valley virus has been found in the U.S. “We’ve not had any cases here in Canada of the blisters,” said Keenliside. “There’s a lot to be learned about this one, and we really aren’t sure how it’s spread or how the blisters show up, and so more research is needed on this one.” barb.glen@producer.com

FORAGE PLANTS

Native clover species extend grazing, fix nitrogen Saskatchewan breeding program examines flowering purple and white prairie clover as a forage crop alternative to alfalfa BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Livestock producers are encouraged to take a closer look at two native species of plants that are showing unique forage characteristics and grazing potential on Western Canadian grasslands. “I think purple prairie clover and white prairie clover have a real potential for us,” said Alan Iwaasa of Agriculture Canada in Swift Current, Sask. The grazing management and ruminant nutrition scientist presented research on the two native plants during the Prairie Conservation and Endangered Species Conference in Saskatoon Feb. 18. Iwaasa has been looking since 2000 at reestablishing different native grasslands on land that had

been cropped annually since the 1920s. Purple prairie clover and white prairie clover are native species of flowering plants belonging to the legume family. They grow 30 to 55 centimetres tall and grow well on open prairie grassland, drier sites, open slopes and hillsides. They are also occasionally found in the southern foothills and parkland regions. Both plants act as warm season forbs with much of their growth during July and August. As a result, they offer an opportunity to extend the grazing season through the mid-summer slump period, when the forage quality for many cool season grasses is declining. As nitrogen fixing legumes, the species extend the longevity and nutrition of pastures.

They also attract pollinators, such as European and native honey and bumblebees.

ALAN IWAASA AGRICULTURE CANADA

“That’s one of the things I love about the purple and white prairie clovers is they are native species in Western Canada and can increase the biodiversity and help insect

pollinators,” he said. Certain tame species contain condensed tannins that inhibit digestion and discourage animals from eating, but purple and white prairie clover have special tannins that improve protein use and hold back E. coli growth. Results show that animals shed significantly less E. coli when eating purple prairie clover instead of alfalfa. “What we find with the white and purple prairie clover is that the animal will consume them, there’s no inhibition on digestion characteristics and we’ve seen in sheep and grazing animals a reduction in E. coli shedding of O157: H7,” Iwaasa said. Research has also found that hard seed characteristics could affect the establishment of these native forbs. Purple prairie clover has a harder

seed coat than the white variety. “This would dramatically affect how it would germinate,” he said. “ You’d have to use different management techniques, maybe seeding it in the fall and then going through the fall-winter period to break down some of that hard seed coat, or use some mechanical process.” Iwaasa said several populations of purple and white prairie clover have been identified for further development. “That’s the real benefit of why we need to always consider natives and keep them around.” However, he said a major limitation with many native species is the availability and cost of seed for producers. william.dekay@producer.com

HORSE LAMENESS

Hip disorders rare but often under radar for equine athletes ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

he horse’s hip is its powerhouse. As one of the largest j o i nt s, s u r ro u n d e d by some of the most powerful muscles, the hip is essential to movement. Lameness caused by injury or damage to the hip is rare, especially considering that 95 percent of lameness originates in the hoof. But when it occurs, hip disease can be career ending for a performance horse and possibly require euthanasia. The most important cause of hip problems is traumatic injury causing broken bones. These can include falls, smashing the hip into an object at high speed (running through a narrow gate) or slipping on ice. Less frequently, long-term wear and tear injury from abnormal movement or structural imbalances progress to hip joint arthritis and ligament damage. Broken bones, whether the pelvis or femur, have more dramatic clinical signs that make diagnosis straightforward. In association with a traumatic event, the horse will be lame but usually able to bear weight. The hip muscles may be swollen or atrophied, making them asymmetrical with the normal side when viewed from behind. Finally, there should be pain and crunching/gas when the hip is touched. Foals seem to be affected by hip fractures more often than adults, likely because the multiple hip and femur growth plates are weaker than mature bone. Diagnosing chronic hip joint disease is more challenging. Unlike senior people with arthritic hips, horses can’t tell us where it hurts. And in a horse that is chronically lame, the most likely cause is in the

hoof, so a lameness ‘work up’ is in order. If horses were dogs, this would all be much easier. We would lay them on their side, rotate, bend and flex the leg, all the while feeling the hip joint for instability and crunching under the comparatively tiny muscles. If a hip problem is suspected, x-rays are a snap and with lower muscle mass, the bones and hip joints are sharp and clear, making diagnosis relatively straightforward. But with horses, we have to work step by step. Typical lameness exams involve watching the horse walk and trot in a straight line and on a circle to identify the affected leg. Next the leg is examined for swelling, muscle atrophy, pain and heat. If hip injury is suspected it is especially difficult to feel the bones of the upper leg and pelvis due to the massive muscles covering these areas. Various joints are flexed and the horse trotted off to see if this worsens the limping. Next comes a series of nerve blocks. Starting with the toe and working up the leg, sections are frozen much like your dentist does before drilling. If the part of the leg that hurts is temporarily frozen, the horse no longer limps. When a horse continues to limp after lower leg blocks, then disease of the hip is a possibility. To confirm that the hip is the cause of the lameness, medical imaging is necessary. Ultrasound can visualize the joint and surrounding ligaments. X-rays are useful but are hard to get. Since there is so much muscle over the hip joint, high-powered machines are needed and the best view is taken when the horse is lying on its back. To do this safely, the horse is given a general anesthesia, often the same one used to lay down stud colts for castration. General anesthesia always comes with risk but it is even more so if there is a fracture since the broken bones can move when the horse stands. Another technique involves an intravenous injection of radioac-

tive material. These particles hone in on places with high blood flow, including areas of tissue inflammation. The horse is scanned with a horse-sized gamma camera producing a fuzzy black and white image with ‘hot-spots’ where the radioactive material accumulated.

If the hip is the problem, it should light up like a Christmas tree. Once hip disease is diagnosed, treatment can also be challenging and depend on the nature of the problem. Fractures require strict stall rest and pain management for months. Arthritis and ligament

injur y may require rest, antiinflammatory injections and a rehabilitation program to strengthen weakened muscles. Dr. Jamie Rothenburger is a veterinarian who practices pathology and a PhD student at the Ontario Veterinary College. Twitter: @DrJamieR_Vet

in ag-data to create a one-of-a-kind platform to support decision-making that will improve yields for growers around the world.” IBM bought the Weather Company in January, acquiring its mobile and cloud based web products, including weather.com, Weather Underground and its business solutions division. According to its website, the Weather Company is the world’s largest private weather enterprise. It provides up to 26 billion forecasts a day, has the world’s largest network of personal weather stations, is a top 20 U.S. website and has the seventh most data-rich site in the world. “Obviously IBM … is a major player. For us, it’s an extension of the strong partners we’ve put in place,” said Patrick Crampton, Farmers Edge chief operating officer. “It’s the next step … in our overall strategy around having the right data to drive these models and

decisions on the farm.” The partnership will allow Farmers Edge to “integrate” detailed weather data into its farm management products. “What the announcement is about is … their world class forecasting, a forecast on-demand product in terms of hyper local forecast,” Crampton said. “And taking that information and combining that with the Farmers Edge field-centric weather stations … that we deploy on our client’s farms.” The weather data and forecasts are expected to help farmers when making decisions. “Timing of application, especially with producers with land spread over a large area,” Crampton said. “Applying those forecasts to crop growth stage models and pest models. (It) increases that ability to plan ahead.” The IBM announcement is the lat-

est in a series of Farmers Edge partnerships, investments and expansions over the last 15 months. Last summer, the company opened its U.S. headquarters in Minnesota and has ambitious goals for this year. “We’re looking to have five million acres (of farmland) under management by the end of the second quarter this year in North America,” Crampton said. “Compared to middle of last year, it would be over … two to three times growth.” In a separate announcement, Farmers Edge released expansion plans for South America. The company has hired a former Monsanto executive to manage its operations in Brazil. Farmers Edge now manages 140,000 acres in that country, which it hopes to increase to 1.4 million acres by the end of this year. robert.arnason@producer.com

RISK MANAGEMENT

Protecting the financial side of your cattle business RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

MARVIN SLINGERLAND

attle producers spend much effort to ensure their herds produce healthy calves. During calving season they make sure cows are in good body condition, ensure calving facilities are clean and dry, protect newborns from extreme weather and implement a vaccination program to protect calves from diseases. During later spring and summer, concerns shift to adequate grass and grazing rotation, and good water sources. With the past dry summer, some producers may be forced to lower animal units on pasture or some may have to put up more hay than in previous years. All are examples of key risk management steps that producers have incorporated in daily routines. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equally important to also control the price risk when the calves are sold in fall. Calving season is a good time to look toward the future and come up with risk management strategies.

The rapid and extreme collapse in feeder prices last fall highlight the need for risk management. Prices on 600 to 700 pound steers in September averaged around $2.93 per lb. in Alberta. By December the average had fallen to $2.23. There was much price volatility in November, and if your calves were marketed on the wrong day or week, it would have made a large difference in the cheque you got. With so many factors affecting prices, it is important to assess the risks you are exposed to financially and then determine if there are ways to mitigate them. Cow-calf producers know they are often price takers, and depending on the operation, may be forced to sell calves once grass runs out, or

if they do not have facilities, to feed them longer. Calf prices are affected by many factors such as the Chicago cattle futures price, the Canadian dollar, basis and barley price. There are ways you can hedge each of these factors if you have the time and knowledge. You can also take a look at using a simple risk management tool such as the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program. WLPIP is available to cow-calf producers in March and April to hedge a price for calves for a period in the fall. For example, last March, for a premium of $6.77 per hundredweight, you could have locked in a minimum price of $270 per cwt.

Average market price for 600 lb. steers in November was around $249 per cwt. WLPIP would have netted the producer an extra $85 per head on that 600 lb. calf after factoring the cost of the insurance. WLPIP has many levels of coverage depending on the settlement price level you choose for the fall. You must ask yourself what coverage level you need in the worst case scenario to cover your costs? Or, if prices would drop significantly in the fall and you are short of cash to pay bills, would WLPIP help you avoid the need to sell bred cows, or bred heifers to generate additional cash flow? The fall calf market conditions affect a lot of future decisions for

your operation in relation to cash flow, heifer retention and expansion plans. We recommend you take a closer look at your operation to determine your break-even costs so you can take a balanced approach at what type of coverage you need. If you are a young producer expanding your herd, look at your business plan to see if using a risk management tool such as WLPIP would allow you to mitigate a few risks, allow you to execute your business plan and expand your operation faster.

Poor sales hurt Ag Growth BY Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ARCE MCMILLAN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ag Growth International, maker of grain handling and storage products, posted a net loss of $25.23 million for the year, compared to a profit of $4.1 million in 2014. Results were hurt by slow sales in North America and losses on foreign exchange. AGI bought the grain storage manufacturer Westeel during the year. This month it bought Entringer Industrial S.A. for $15.3 million. Entringer is a Brazilian maker of grain storage and handling equipment. Sales in Canada were hurt by the drought in the western Prairies in the first half of the growing season, which shook farmer confidence. American sales were hurt by the rapid decline in crop prices and farm income. An increase in offshore sales partly made up for the weakness at home. AGIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international sales, excluding Westeel, increased 26 percent last year, which reflected momentum in Latin America and strong sales in the Black Sea region. International sales at Westeel were $21.7 million, through Italian subsidiaries P TM and Frame and sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. AGI sales were $474.3 million, up from $409.7 million in 2014. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were $72.6 million, down from $78.2 million. darce.mcmillan@producer.com

Canola and barley are basis par region. Feed wheat basis Lethbridge. Basis is best bid.

Due to wide reporting and collection methods, it is misleading to compare hog prices between provinces.
