SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The planting season will likely start early across most of Western Canada this year, thanks to an early spring melt and an extremely mild winter that delivered average or below average snowfall to most of the Prairies. Trevor Hadwen, an agroclimate specialist with Agriculture Canada, said soil moisture levels will be reasonably good across most of Western Canada, despite a “significant departure” from normal snowfall amounts this winter. “We didn’t receive nearly as much snow as we normally would, especially in the southern regions of the Prairies, right through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba,” Hadwen said. “You can take a line from about Red Deer, straight across to Winnipeg and anything under that line, received below normal precipitation.” SEE EARLY SPRING, PAGE 4

After years of complaints about delays, most people are happy with the grain marketing system this year with booming deliveries GRAIN MOVEMENT ON THE PRAIRIES

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Apparently, no news is good news in the grain business. An odd silence exists around the prairie grain marketing and handling system this year, but after several years that saw complaints about delays and poor service, nobody is complaining. Farmer deliveries are up more than 20 percent at this point of the year compared to 2012-13 and exports are up more than 30 percent. “It’s been fantastic for the farmer,” said Gerrid Gust, who farms near Davidson, Sask., and is active in farm organizations. “It’s been great.” SEE GRAIN DELIVERIES, PAGE 5

SASKATCHEWAN ELECTION 2016 PROVINCIAL ELECTION

Sask Party elected to third term Carbon tax policies and Growing Forward 3 negotiations are key ag issues facing the new government Due to deadlines for this issue, final results were not available at press time. BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Farmers say the re-elected Saskatchewan Party government must now work with the federal Liberals to develop strong agricultural policy. As expected through the ho-hum 27-day campaign and from polls that didn’t significantly change, the Saskatchewan Party was re-elected to its third consecutive majority government April 4. At press time, the party was elected or leading in 48 of 61 seats. Premier Brad Wall easily won his Swift Current constituency. NDP leader Cam Broten was in a tight race for his Saskatoon Westview seat. Wall made no agricultural campaign promises but during the next few years Growing Forward 3 will be implemented, and thorny issues such as a national carbon tax are expected to be sorted out. A review of the current agricultural policy framework is expected to be complete by the July meeting of federal, provincial and territorial agriculture ministers, leading to work on GF3. The province’s most recent agriculture minister, Lyle Stewart, reelected in a new constituency of Lumsden-Morse, wasn’t happy about changes made to business risk management programs in Growing Forward 2 that saved governments money but lacked the income safety net that farmers wanted. Wall has staunchly opposed a carbon tax. Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said both governments have to do what’s best for producers. “We will be lobbying both provincially here through APAS and federally through (Canadian Federation of Agriculture) to ensure there’s a good relationship and that the programs are farmer friendly as

opposed to government friendly,” he said. APAS has recently surveyed its members on business risk management programs and results are expected soon. Doug Gillespie, president of the Saskatchewan Stock Growers

Association, said his industry would like to see livestock price insurance as a permanent part of the business risk management program. It is currently a pilot in Western Canada. He said the cattle industry would also like to see the two governments work together to streamline regulations and expand trade. Provincially, Gillespie commends the returning government for continuing to improve infrastructure such as highways. “I would hope that they maintain the direction they’re going,” he said. He is encouraged by the recently announced improvements to forage insurance and said his organization would continue to push for

an assurance fund to protect producers when selling cattle, and changes to the horned cattle fund. Glaslyn area farmer Daryl Fransoo said he will be watching for action on grain transportation and inaction, from Ottawa, on a carbon tax. “The Sask. Party has done a great job saying no carbon tax,” Fransoo said. “We’ve got to make the feds realize that we’re actually a carbon sink in agriculture and that we should be recognized as such if they do implement a carbon tax.” Fixing grain transportation concerns is a matter of determining proper and balanced regulations to help farmers and railways at the same time, Fransoo said. “We’ve got to start with keeping

inter-switching alive (allowing a railway to run on a competitor’s tracks) for right now until we can figure out how we can get a more competitive market. We’ve got to modernize the maximum revenue entitlement so it benefits the farmers but at the same time incentivizes rail to move our grain and spend money on infrastructure for grain handling.” Both Fransoo and Hall also said governments must do more to encourage young farmers. “We already lost a lot of the generation above me. If we lose the generation below me who’s going to take over the farm?” said the 30-year-old Fransoo. Karen.briere@producer.com

GRAIN MARKETING

Grain industry positive in post-CWB era Industry analysts say continued investment in the transportation system will increase handling and market capacity BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Canadian grain industry is heading into its annual extravaganza feeling pretty good about how the post-Canadian Wheat Board world is working out. “We’ve been able in the new environment to come together and build these things,” said Tyler Bjornson, president of the Canada Grains Council. “The mood in the industry over not only this year but also for growth prospects and value creation in general are very positive.” The council’s annual Canadian Global Crops Symposium will be held in Winnipeg April 11-13 amidst an atmosphere of relief from some of the problems that erupted in the wake of the CWB losing its grain marketing monopolies. These included a tempestuous cash wheat market in the first two years following the elimination of the wheat board’s single desk powers, the rail crisis of 2013-14 and confusion over pesticide residue limits allowed by grain companies. The present crop year has been experiencing fewer disruptions, partly because of better weather and other gifts of fortune, but many say the industry has finally sorted itself out and the fruits of hefty post2012 investments are now ripening. “I think we’ve gotten to a point between elevator and railway com-

panies … to be able to work together harmoniously and get the job done,” said Brennan Turner, founder of the FarmLead online grain marketplace, who will be attending the conference.

He said continued investment in the system will further increase grain handling and marketing capacity, especially on the West Coast, where many ships are now waiting to load Canadian crops.

“I think there are some unbelievable opportunities for Canadian grain to get moved in the next five to 10 years,” said Turner. However, the opportunities could be threatened by myriad

AgTeam based at Kindersley, Sask., west of Saskatoon. “Today, if the soil was a bit warmer, it would be darn near ideal conditions to go out and start seeding.” German said growers in much of west-central Saskatchewan will start the year with ample moisture. For some, rain that disrupted harvest operations last fall will be viewed as a blessing this spring, providing enough moisture to replenish ground moisture and get crops off to a decent start.

“Right around Kindersley, there’s about a foot to … a foot and a half of moisture but if you go farther south … there’s a big swath between Leader, Sask., and toward Medicine Hat that didn’t get a lot of snow and only had an inch or an inch and half of rain all last season,” German added. “They’re in a little bit more dire straits down there. They’re going to want to get out early and try to take advantage of any little bit of moisture that’s available.” The winter of 2015-16 has already been labelled by climatologists as one of the driest and mildest in decades. Precipitation since Nov. 1 has been well below average. In the drought-stricken Alberta Peace region, farmers will be facing some of the driest spring planting conditions in years, said Nora Paulovich, manager of the Northern Peace Applied Research Association at Manning, Alta. Unless a significant amount of precipitation arrives in the next few weeks, farmers in the Alberta Peace will be dealing with poor germination in annual crops, limited forage production and reduced carrying capacity on pastures. “We’ve had a very mild winter with minimal snow and it’s all pretty well gone now,” Paulovich said in an April 4 interview. “There was minimal runoff into our dugouts and everything is drying up very quickly.” Growers in the Alberta Peace had an extremely dry growing season last year and did not benefit from

regulatory, legal or trade complications, which will be the focus of this year’s symposium. “How do these technical barriers to trade inhibit the adoption of innovation?” said Bjornson, summing up the theme. Scientific advancements in seed variety development, new biotechnology traits, new chemicals and new food products and markets offer the industry a lot of opportunities but also threaten trade disruption. However, logistics is still a dominant theme for many, including Cam Dahl of Cereals Canada. “It is one of those critical components that we still need to have a little bit of focus on,” Dahl said. He’s thrilled by the recent advancement that grain companies have made in system capacity. “Our ability to handle crop is really good,” Dahl said. Turner thinks the same but wants to see how the industry handles the contradiction between having an efficient use of invested capital in facilities and having enough capacity to handle big crops. “The system works today, but one could argue that it’s still a just-intime system and from a competitive standpoint … do you build a system for today or do you build a system for the needs five, 10 or 15 years from now?” ed.white@producer.com

MILD WINTER = EARLY SPRING? » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Soil moisture entering the spring will be variable across the West, but there are only a few spots that are facing a significant risk of inadequate soil moisture. The most notable of those areas is in southern Alberta, below the Trans-Canada Highway and in the Alberta Peace district. Ha d w e n s a i d s o i l m o i s t u re reserves in most parts of the West had recovered before freeze-up.

“We’re still watching a couple of areas very closely … but again it’s still very early and snowfall doesn’t make up a whole lot of our annual precipitation….” Overall, soil moisture levels to start the season will range from average to slightly better than average across much of the northern grainbelt, down to slightly below average in more southerly areas. “We’re actually in pretty good shape,” said Jeremy German, a senior agronomist with G-Mac’s

late season rains that fell in many other parts of Western Canada. “We’re certainly hoping for some spring moisture because we went into the fall very dry … (and) we did not get the harvest rains.” In the eastern Prairies, conditions will be generally more favourable. Thom Weir, senior agronomist with Farmer’s Edge, described conditions in east-central Saskatchewan as good to very good. He said growers across a large stretch of eastern and east-central Saskatchewan received close to a foot of wet snow in late March. That, combined with recurring rains last fall, replenished soil moisture throughout eastern Saskatchewan. “We might have too much moisture in some areas but overall, things look good,” Weir said. “We were dryish going into harvest last year but then we had significant fall moisture, which brought things right back up.” Western Canadian growers who are coming off their two most productive crop years in history are expected to increase plantings of peas and lentils this spring. Financial returns on those two crops were strong last year and sales of pedigreed seed have been brisk throughout the winter. In southern Alberta, some crops have been in the ground since midMarch, which is well ahead of farmers in other regions who normally seed spring crops in late April and May. brian.cross@producer.com

MANITOBA ELECTION

Manitoba election foregone conclusion? Policy analyst says Conservatives heavily favoured to win rural ridings in April 19 vote BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers in huge swaths of rural Manitoba are down to just two mainstream political choices now that the Liberals won’t be running candidates in all ridings. However, that probably won’t change election results, says a leading Manitoba political analyst. The Progressive Conservatives are heavily favoured to win almost all farm country constituencies in southern Manitoba, and Liberal voters cut loose from their preferred party are more likely to vote PC than NDP. “Outside of Winnipeg, the Liberals compete mostly with the Conservatives. Inside Winnipeg, they compete mainly with the NDP,”

said Paul Thomas, a University of Manitoba political scientist. Four Liberal candidates were disqualified on the deadline to approve nominations because of problems with names on nomination forms, while another was disallowed because she had been an enumerator before deciding to run for the Liberals. All the ridings that now won’t have a Liberal candidate are rural. Thomas said many of the Liberal voters in those seats will probably stay home on election day, unless they are particularly attracted to another candidate. That will be a PC or NDP choice, unless the Green party or other small parties with little chance of winning seats have a registered candidate.

“Whether those people would take the time to get out and vote, especially in southwestern Manitoba, where many, many seats are automatically Conservative victories, remains to be seen.” A Mainstream Research poll released March 31 found that the PCs have 42 percent support in “the rest of Manitoba” outside Winnipeg, the Liberals have 17 percent and the NDP 12 percent, with 23 percent undecided and six percent Green supporters.Provincially, the PCs have 36 percent, the Liberals and NDP both have 18 percent, 22 percent are undecided, and six percent are Green. ed.white@producer.com FOR MORE ON THE MANITOBA ELECTION, SEE PAGES 13, 16 & 17

John Duvenaud, a marketing adviser and analyst who publishes the Wild Oats newsletter, agreed. “We’re in heaven here. “Everything’s working,” he said. The system’s strong performance in clearing Western Canada of its crops is particularly notable considering the glutted world grain markets. “This is a time when (wheat) is piling up in the rest of the world, so I’d say our system is working pretty darned well right now,” said Duvenaud. Analysts attribute the excellent grain movement to: • a warm winter causing few logistical breakdowns • less aggressive competition from competing commodities such as potash and oil for rail • grain company and railroad improvements in handling systems and abilities to move grain • a medium sized crop The main noticeable feature for farmers has been their ability to move whatever crops they want without having to search too far to find a buyer. In some winters, certain crops have hot demand and some can’t be moved for long periods at anything other than deep discount prices. That skews crop clearance and forces many farmers to market not what they want or need to move but whatever the market seems to want. This winter, farmers have found buyers willing to at least consider taking most crops, which allowed them to move what they wanted when they wanted. “Everything’s been pretty good,” said FarmLead operator Brennan Turner. “There’s been good movement. We haven’t really seen any snags.” Most pulse crops will be gone by the end of the crop year, canola bins will mostly be swept clean and little wheat will be left on the Prairies. At the same time, the U.S. grain system will still have large amounts of old crop wheat that need to move through the system when the new crop is harvested. It’s a nice time for the Canadian grain system, especially coming so soon after the 2013-14 logistical nightmare. “We’re moving a lot of grain, we really are,” said Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada. “It has been ideal conditions all around, from the logistics through to the marketing side.” It’s hard to find anyone willing to guarantee that this kind of performance will continue because the year has had a unique combination of positive factors. However, farmers are currently enjoying the difference from years like 2013-14, when everything seemed bad. “A couple of years ago if you said ‘no’ (when a grain buyer called), they’d just go to the next guy on the list and you were back at the bottom and everything was screwed up,” said Gust. “Now, there’s not much grain left in the country and (farmers) aren’t near as desperate.” ed.white@producer.com

CANOLA EXPORTS

Trade needs lasting blackleg solution China delays tightening dockage rule and will send experts to Canada to find common ground on blackleg BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada has won a reprieve in a potential trade disruption with its largest canola customer. China has agreed to delay implementation of a new dockage policy that the Canola Council of Canada says would have capsized shipments to a country that accounted for 38 percent of exports through the first seven months of the 201516 crop year. China had planned to implement a policy April 1 that would have required canola shipments to contain less than one percent dockage. That is well below the maximum 2.5 percent now allowed in commercial contracts. However, China agreed during negotiations with Agriculture Canada to delay implementation of the policy until Sept. 1. “It is a big deal,” said Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada. “It gives the trade the opportunity to execute on contracts that they had already booked under current terms of trade.” Errol Anderson, analyst with ProMarket Wire, agreed that the postponement is good news for the canola industry. “It gives some breathing space to the exporters,” he said. “I thought we were going to go into a slowdown in the export side heading into the crop yearend. This may keep a steady pace going.” Anderson was forecasting 2.5 million tonnes of canola carryout, but he now thinks it may shrink to as low as two million tonnes, which is still at the high end of

China says it wants to tighten dockage allowances to protect domestic rapeseed like that pictured here. | FILE PHOTO expectations. China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine drafted the new dockage policy because it said it believes lowering the allowable dockage limit will reduce the threat of blackleg disease entering

the country. It said it does not believe Canadian research that concludes that the threat of blackleg transmission in current levels of dockage is virtually non-existent. “They were saying that, intuitively, lower dockage would mean

lower risk of blackleg transmission,” said Miller. The council was able to convince China that implementing the policy would bring trade to a grinding halt April 1. “I told them that there was no way that Canada could on a consistent

basis deliver at one percent dockage or less,” she said. Some people in the grain industry have suggested it would not be a big deal to meet China’s demands because grain companies clean to zero and then add dockage back into shipments. “Grain companies do not clean to zero. That is not correct,” said Miller. “And it’s really unfortunate, quite frankly, that anybody says that because not only is it not correct, it just really complicates the discussions we are having and creates a lot more uncertainty in the marketplace.” The council hopes to use the fivemonth reprieve to find a permanent solution to the lingering blackleg dispute. China has provided a list of experts it will be sending to Canada to once again review the dockage research results. The plan is to hone in on where there are differences of opinion and develop research projects to address those areas of concern. The goal will be to complete those projects in time to negotiate a permanent solution before Sept. 1. Analysts have suggested that the dockage issue is a non-tariff trade barrier erected by China to slow canola imports because the Chinese government is sitting on a huge stockpile of rapeseed oil that it is aggressively trying to sell. However, Miller said it is part of a blackleg dispute that has been going on since 2010. “So I wouldn’t draw a direct connection between the two,” she said. sean.pratt@producer.com

CANOLA TRADE

Weak dollar, supply issues boost canola sales to Europe Lower production in Australia and Ukraine gave Canadian canola a new market opportunity BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canola shipments to the European Union are way up, which is one of the reasons why ending stocks will be tight. Canada shipped 328,600 tonnes of the oilseed to Western Europe in the first seven months of 2015-16 compared to zero for the same time a year ago. “It’s not huge, but it’s a nice little bit of business that’s happening,” said Bruce Jowett, vice-president of market development with the

Canola Council of Canada. He believes it has something to do with production problems in Australia and Ukraine, the two traditional suppliers for the market. Australia produced 3.1 million tonnes of canola last year, which was down 11 percent from the previous year. It was the third production decline in a row. Ukraine’s production plummeted 23 percent to 1.7 million tonnes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting that the country will export 1.4 million tonnes of rapeseed, down 29 percent from

the previous year. Jowett said Canadian canola is being used to make biodiesel. Derek Squair, president of AgriTrend Marketing, thinks nongenetically modified canola is also being shipped to Europe for use in the food sector. He believes the weak Canadian dollar played a big part in boosting sales to Europe, which typically imports two to three million tonnes of the crop. Squair said increased sales of Canadian canola to Europe, Pakistan and India are helping mop up

the second biggest crop in Canadian history. “We’re seeing some crushers starting to get short on supply and bringing in contracts early, so that’s a solid sign that we’re going to have a very tight carryout,” he said. Agri-Trend is forecasting 1.25 million tonnes of carryout, which is well below Agriculture Canada’s estimate of 1.85 million tonnes. The canola futures price has rallied $44.80 a tonne since the low was established March 2, and basis CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

CORN MARKETS

China to end corn subsidy, sell off huge stockpile Feed stuffs that were going to China will need to find another buyer while the country uses its stocks BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

News that China is eliminating its corn price support and stockpiling program is either bearish or bullish, depending on the time frame. “In the short term, it is going to be disruptive, there is going to be uncertainty,” Bryan Lomar, the U.S. Grains Council’s director in China, said in an audio file on the council’s website. “But over the long term, we think a market oriented feed industry in China is best for everybody.” The news broke last week when an official with China’s National Development and Reform Commission announced that the government would stop buying grain from farmers at inflated prices Oct. 1. Lomar said the sudden policy shift came as no surprise. “Many policy-makers have been arguing that this is an extremely expensive policy,” he said. Lomar said it costs the Chinese government a lot of money to store the grain, keep it in condition and buy it at prices that are more than double the U.S. price. Dim Sums, an anonymous internet blog about the Chinese rural economy, said economist Cheng Guoqiang estimated the annual carr ying cost of China’s corn reserves at nearly US$10 billion, so there is plenty of incentive to reduce the stockpile. Rich Nelson, chief strategist at Allendale Inc., estimates China has 220 to 250 million tonnes of corn stocks. “This needs to be narrowed down to probably 100 (million tonnes) or so within just a few months,” he said. His biggest concern is that China will become a net exporter of corn rather than a major importer later this year or early next year. “If they do, that’s certainly a major issue for us,” said Nelson. “They could sell these stocks internationally at a lower-thanneeded price simply just to move

the product.” Other analysts are taking more of a wait-and-see approach. “You really have to take any Chinese statement with a grain of salt,” said Mark Gold, managing partner of Top Third Ag Marketing. “The Chinese are famous for saying one thing and doing something just the opposite.” He thinks the announcement might be a ploy by the Chinese government to exacerbate the already bearish attitude in the marketplace so it can buy up cheap grain. However, it would be bearish

news for the grain sector if China actually lives up to its commitment. “It certainly wouldn’t be helpful. The Chinese have been an incredible importer of grain for the last several years,” said Gold. China’s large stockpile of corn would be sold in the domestic market, limiting imports of corn and substitutes such as sorghum, distillers grain and barley. “If we lose the demand from China, it has ripple effects all around the world,” he said. “I mean, they are the largest buyers in the world.” Nelson isn’t concerned about the impact of falling Chinese imports on feed grain prices. China hardly buys any U.S. corn anymore, preferring to buy the commodity from Ukraine. U.S. exports for the first five months of 2015-16 were only 67,200 tonnes. And while the country has been the top buyer of U.S. sorghum and distillers grain, it has recently taken

steps to restrict imports of those two minor feed grains. China has made it difficult to get import permits for sorghum and in January launched an antidumping and countervailing duty investigation into U.S. distillers grain. Nelson said those steps have limited trade in the minor feed grains, and he doesn’t expect any corn imports for two years. The news out of China came around the same time that the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated farmers will plant 93.6 million acres of corn, which is 5.6 million acres more than last spring. “We’re looking at a potentially huge crop here in the U.S.,” said Gold. “That tells me certainly in the short run there is at least 50 cent (per bushel) of risk in this market and maybe more between now and July 1.” The bearish corn situation will make it more difficult for wheat and soybeans to rally.

which is up more than $1 per bu. from the low of $9.85. And that has all occurred despite the recent rally in the Canadian dollar. “We’re seeing things getting really tight,” said Squair.

There could be continued strong demand out of Europe because of prospects for another disappointing Ukrainian crop. The USDA is forecasting a 15 percent reduction in Ukraine’s rapeseed production in 2016-17 to 1.47

million tonnes because of high levels of winterkill. Ukraine’s exports to the EU are expected to drop 21 percent to 950,000 tonnes. The poor crop in Ukraine could be partially offset by a good one in Russia.

They could sell these stocks internationally at a lowerthan-needed price simply just to move the product. RICH NELSON MARKET STRATEGIST

he trade has pushed down corn prices and lifted soybean and wheat values to discourage American farmers from carrying out their plans to expand corn acreage by 6.4 percent. Canola and wheat prices in Canada also rose, but the lower corn price will weigh down feed barley. The U.S. Department of Agriculture last week released the results from its farmer seeding plan survey, which surprised the market with farmers’ plans for corn that were more optimistic than the

market expected. On average, the trade had expected about a two percent increase. The United States does not need a big increase in corn acreage. Its exports are struggling because of the strong U.S. dollar, and supply is ample because year end stocks are expected to climb to 46.67 million tonnes from 43.97 million last year. The carryout would be the largest since 2005-06. Corn futures fell a little more than four percent last week, while soybeans climbed one percent. Soybean futures have been gaining on corn for several weeks, which might encourage American farmers to alter their seeding plans from what they told the USDA when the survey was done in the first half of March. Minneapolis spring wheat futures rose 3.3 percent last week, supported by the USDA report, which said American farmers intended to lower spring wheat acreage by 14 percent from last

year to the smallest level since 1972. The trade expected a three percent decline. The reduction in spring wheat comes on the heels of an eight percent reduction in winter wheat area last fall. Overall, U.S. wheat area will be down five million acres from last year, which is a nine percent reduction. Wheat futures were also supported by increasing dryness in large parts of the southern U.S. Plains’ hard red winter wheat region, but gains were limited by a long-term forecast showing rain arriving in mid-April. As well, wheat remains constrained by the expectation of large U.S. and world year end stocks. Pulse crops will be seeded on some of those vacant wheat acres. American growers plan a 72 percent increase in lentil acres, 24 percent more peas and 19 percent more chickpeas. However, canola acreage is expected to decline two percent. Canola futures have recovered strongly from the price collapse that bottomed out in early March. Canadian farmers might be looking more favourably at the oilseed than they were a month ago. Statistics Canada issues its seeding intentions survey April 21. May canola topped$480 at the start of this week, comfortably back in the trading range it has been in for most of the crop year. The supply and demand fundamentals for canola look good. The record breaking pace of canola exports and domestic crush is unbroken now that China has agreed to delay its new tighter dockage rule until Sept. 1. Also, world vegetable oil prices are stronger than oilseed prices because of reduced palm oil production following crop stress caused by dry El Nino weather in Malaysia and Indonesia. The rally in canola prices is particularly impressive given the rally in the Canadian dollar, which is now trading near US77 cents, up from its low in mid-January of less than 69 cents. The loonie is doing much better than anyone expected two months ago. For example, Scotia Bank predicted earlier this year that the loonie would still be trading about 72 cents at the end of year. Now it expects it to remain around 77 cents for the rest of 2016. Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

Canola growers may soon have another risk management option at their disposal. The Canadian Canola Growers Association is assessing the feasibility of providing farmers with an index-based canola margin insurance product. The association’s members have told it that current risk management tools such as forward contracts, futures contracts and options contracts are not meeting their needs. “The current products aren’t necessarily bankable or predictable, which this product would be,” said Cheryl Mayer, the association’s director of policy development. “You would know right away whether you were going to get a payout on something like this and not have to wait for an extended period to determine that.” Margin insurance is designed to protect gross profit margin from decreasing. The policy would comprise an index of canola futures prices minus an index of major variable production costs such as fuel, fertilizer and interest rates. “If canola prices go down or input prices go up or both, then that would decrease your margin and you could potentially receive a payout,” said Mayer. However, producers would not receive a payout if margins go up Errol Anderson, analyst with ProMarket Wire, disagreed that risk management tools are failing to meet grower needs. “Growers have had tons of tools and tons of opportunities to lock in tremendous canola prices,” he said. He wonders if the government will be involved in the proposed gross margin insurance plan. “Anytime government gets into price insurance, it’s not healthy for the market,” said Anderson. Mayer said a year of investigating margin insurance has made it apparent that growers like the idea. “The preliminary results suggest that an index-based canola margin insurance product may be of interest to farmers and it could actually provide them with an efficient risk management tool,” she said. The next step is for farmers to complete a survey on the association’s website. The 10-minute survey asks growers what risk management tools they are using, their thoughts on alternative forms of risk management and what features they would like to see in a margin insurance product. “Things like what would be the length of the policy, the premiums they would like to pay, the level of coverage,” said Mayer. The association wants at least 200 farmers to fill out the survey. It hopes to have a product ready for a pilot test or to go straight to market in the next 12 to 18 months. sean.pratt@producer.com

Most business in rail grade trade was at $276 per cwt. delivered, down $4-$8. The week’s Alberta cash-tofutures basis strengthened $5 to -$6.08 and is now stronger than the five-year average. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter in the holiday-shortened week to March 26 fell 12 percent to 27,199 head. Fed steer weights for the week were six pounds down from the previous week. Heifer carcasses were down two pounds. Weekly fed cattle exports to March 19 were modestly larger at 7,822 head. Prices are under pressure from lacklustre beef demand and the higher Canadian dollar. In the United States, light fed trade developed midweek with live prices US$3 lower than the previous week at $133. Dressed sales in the northern U.S. were $4-$5 lower at $214-$215.

CRAIG’S VIEW

AGRICULTURAL PLATFORMS

Lack of ag agenda limits Sask. Party accountability BY EDITORIAL STAFF

here is no better hint that the Saskchewan Party believes the province, and agriculture, is set to endure some challenging times than in the party’s scarce platform commitments. Brad Wall’s party made it a practice not to overpromise in the election campaign. In fact, much of what is listed in the section on agriculture in its 32-page platform centres on what it had already done, or that the NDP didn’t do, or did wrong. There is very little about what lies ahead. It’s true that Growing Forward 2, which marries provincial and federal funding programs, governs many agricultural initiatives, but it would have been useful for voters to see the Saskatchewan Party’s vision for agriculture and rural areas in the coming years. Growing Forward 3 consultations are pending, but there is nothing quite like getting a party on the record during the election campaign as a method of holding its feet to the fire. Note how support for the Manitoba government of Greg Selinger went into a tailspin after a 2011 campaign promise not to raise the sales tax was later breached. Such things matter. The Saskatchwan Party was never really in danger in this campaign, and so perhaps it felt that running on its record, rather than laying out an agenda, was sufficient. (Which explains its decision not to introduce a budget before the campaign.) When asked about his party’s agriculture platform during the campaign, Lyle Stewart, who was the agriculture minister in Wall’s government, replied: “As far as ag goes, we generally try to let the industry lead. There’s been no hue and cry for new ag programs. We’ll just continue to be supportive of the industry.” Pragmatic, perhaps, but hardly a vision. Still, the industry did speak out. The

Agricultural Producer’s Association of Saskatchewan produced a document calling for numerous issues to be addressed, including improved rural internet and cellphone coverage, investment in rural roads, better grain transportation and better water management. The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities echoed some of these. The NDP’s platform was brimming with policies — such as they were — on agriculture and rural areas, including improving cellphone coverage and expanding SaskTel’s broadband internet services, which are vital for farmers and all rural citizens. The party also vowed to work with the federal Liberals to improve AgriStability and AgriInvest. Both programs have not faced much pressure during boom years of high commodity prices, but may be squeezed in the future. The NDP also vowed to improve grain transportation systems, and to see that input prices and grain sales were posted weekly, which could have an important effect on farmers’ marketing efforts. Could the NDP have delivered? We’ll never know, but at least we knew its agenda, and hence, its pressure points. As Stewart’s quote shows, the Saskatchewan Party felt it didn’t need to lay out a strong agenda, other than to say its record — which largely took place during years of strong commodity prices — is an indication of how it will act in the future. That gives the government too much wiggle room.

FOOD SECURE CANADA

Access to affordable, healthy food top of mind at food event CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

anadians have a love affair with food. Its integral role in social activity is reflected in the rise of foodies, budding chefs, reality cooking shows, gourmet food magazines and experiences as diverse as spaghetti dinners, food festivals, restaurant adventures and dinner parties. Our love of food is also widely visibly on social media. Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest are awash with food videos and pictures of food and recipes, while food blogs have become an internet staple. We also love to talk about food,

despite the fact we know little about where it comes from and how it ends up on our plate. At the Broadbent Institute’s Progress Summit in Ottawa April 2, delegates were invited to share their thoughts on food and food issues over a brown bag lunch. The session is organized annually by Food Secure Canada. Over the past two years, it has grown to be one of the most popular events of the three-day conference. For an hour, delegates eat and chat in small groups about a variety of food issues: labelling, food security issues in Canada’s North, school lunch programs, food in Parliament and climate change. This year’s lunch attracted 120 people, all eager to share their concerns and propose ideas about the future of Canada’s agriculture industry. Many of the suggestions were to be expected, given that most of the folks in the room would fall on the left, or even the far left, of the political spectrum. Some spoke of their own budding

green thumbs, sharing stories about growing food on their balconies, apartment rooftops and in community gardens. Several argued strongly in favour of local food with a heavy preference for organic and small scale agriculture, although several acknowledged Canada’s seasonal and geographic challenges.

I often seen people pick food up, look at it and then put it back knowing they simple can’t afford it. FOOD SECURE CANADA DELEGATE

“Think about it. If we followed a local diet, we’d never be able to eat oranges again,” one man mused. Yet the biggest worry was access to affordable, healthy food, of which there were many definitions.

Several in the room shared stories about individuals on fixed incomes unable to buy food. One woman from Newfoundland told the group she routinely sees seniors and young parents at the grocery store scanning the shelves for the cheapest food items available, “while looking longingly at items like fresh produce that they simply can’t afford.” “I often seen people pick food up, look at it and then put it back knowing they simple can’t afford it,” she said, with several nodding in agreement. Several insisted it was high time Canada had a national school food program, which would ensure all Canadian children have access to healthy breakfasts and lunches. The program, which Food Secure Canada has been pushing for for several years, would ensure Canadian children have access to and know how to prepare nutritious food. Meanwhile, with the Liberals promising to create a National

Food Strategy, another table proposed the formation of a new federal department. The ministry of food and water, the group suggested, would be made up of key players from the ministries of health, agriculture, fisheries, and environment and climate change. It would also encompass the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and work closely with industry and the provinces to come up with an all inclusive food policy. While the idea may seem a bit far fetched, the group’s firm grasp of the complexity of the task ahead was admirable. Any national food strategy can easily become nothing more than “everything and the kitchen sink.” Finding a way to focus and manage both the discussion and expectations, be it via a roundtable, ministerial leadership, a special committee or council, will be key.

CETA will challenge Canadian traders

Photo contests still popular

BY LAURA RANCE

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

he Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union is on track for implementation in 2017, a decade since leaders first began discussions. So now what? On March 31, The Western Producer finished a three-part series on CETA, assembled by a team of reporters from Glacier FarmMedia publications. The series explores the advantages and disadvantages of a more open trading relationship with the EU. The joint project involving writers from The Western Producer, the Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews and Food in Canada is a first. For the Canadian agriculture sector, new challenges await as it jostles for status as a global trader. Some analysts such as Laura Dawson, director of the Canada Institute in Washington, view CETA’s significance to Canada as far more fundamental than the potential increase in trade dollars. “It is the first trade agreement that we have done with a modern industrialized set of economies for more than 20 years,” she said. The last big deal, the North American Free Trade Agreement, was negotiated before the internet existed and was the first deal Canada negotiated in what she calls the “mega-regional” world of trade. The Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership followed and there will likely be more to come. “Canada needs to be a player in the mega-regionals because eventually these mega-regionals are

A going to converge,” Dawson said. But there are obstacles. Canadian agriculture faces major technical, infrastructure and cultural hurdles and industry players will have to work together in new ways if they are to turn the European market potential into market share. The technical and non-tariff barriers are huge. For example, the increased market access for beef is predicated on the beef being raised without the use of growth hormones, which are widely used in Canada. Despite the potential for lucrative sales, senior industry officials estim a t e t h i s c o u n t r y p ro d u c e s enough hormone-free beef to fill just one-fifth of the available quota. With the elimination of countryof-origin labelling laws on cattle and beef shipped to the United States, it’s likely that large-scale operators will continue to focus on that market.

Smaller operators may lack the resources to take the risk of moving into the European market. But Dawson said the most tangible impediment to Canada extending its global reach is its limited transportation system; it can’t quickly or reliably increase supply for new markets. That observation was backed up by the recent review of the Canadian Transportation Act, which said Canada has failed to strategically invest in a transportation system that would maintain and grow its competitiveness on the world stage. But some see another threat holding Canada back — our Canadian nature. “As someone who is a trade historian and who has watched these trends, Canada has been largely complacent, we’ve been lulled into complacency by easy trade with the United States,” Dawson said. “We haven’t been particularly aggres-

sive in seeking new markets.” A recent study by the University of Toronto’s Impact Centre found that Canadians culturally are risk averse and they are not as driven to innovate as their American counterparts. Lead researcher Charles Plant says both qualities contribute to a “lack of aggressiveness” in global trade. “Canadians, when compared with Americans, tend to be more afraid to take new risks — so they are less likely to try to sell into an area of the world in which they have less experience,” he said. New agreements open the door to new trade. But turning opportunity into sales requires ambition, a high tolerance for risk and perseverance. Canada has some work to do.

FRIENDS PITCHING IN

Good advice can be worth price of a tractor HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

t might have been the end of the line for the old tractor. Instead, with advice from near and far and a single flat washer, the tractor now has a shot at another seeding season. The problem was evident as soon as we hooked the tractor to the new-to-us seed drill. The drill lifted just fine, but it wouldn’t fold. The hydraulics on the 875 Versatile, which was built in 1980, didn’t have enough lift for the wings of a K-Hart drill from 2012. Another tractor was used to fold the wings and we pulled the drill home to ponder the problem. As I talked with the guys on coffee

row, I learned that you could easily measure hydraulic pressure with a gauge inserted in the tractor coupling. A neighbour lent us a gauge and we soon found the tractor was putting out only 2,000 p.s.i. The instruction book says the tractor is rated at 2,300 psi, so what was the problem: filter issues or maybe a weak hydraulic pump? I posed the question on Twitter, and suggestions came pouring back. One responder advised buying a new tractor for $600,000. Another said that new hydraulic pumps are about $10,000 installed. Yet another said that he didn’t think hydraulic gear pumps were still available for such an old Versatile. Well, maybe it was just a filter issue. No, probably not, said another tweet. A filter restriction would reduce the flow, but in most cases it shouldn’t reduce the pressure. As you can probably tell by now, equipment repair is not my strong suit. A mechanic I am not. However, a young mechanic

called my cellphone. He had seen my tweet and had fixed a hydraulic pressure issue on our Apache sprayer. The tractor is probably twice as old as this mechanic, but he went back and forth with us trying to locate a pressure relief valve. He even talked about using shims in the valve to boost the pressure. However, there was no valve on or around the hydraulic pump. Despite what the instruction book says, there was also no relief valve at the front of the oil reservoir. The neighbour who lent us the pressure gauge used to run a similar old Versatile, and he remembered a relief valve on the hydraulic spools behind the cab. We had removed a panel and closely examined this cluster, and had even had schematics emailed from a couple of dealerships. The schematics were a different orientation, and with all the parts fitting into other parts, the diagram wasn’t that useful. As well, it didn’t really list anything described as a

pressure relief valve. We unscrewed some big plugs but found no relief value. We pondered the problem with our neighbour and he suggested the valve might be located between the spools and the back of the cab. We might be able to get to it by removing another panel. He was right. When we got it out, we discovered “2300” stamped on the end. We took the valve apart and added a couple of small washers on top of the spring. That shot the pressure up to 3,000 p.s.i. Impressive, but way above system specifications. We went with just one flat washer, about the size of a dime, giving us 2,500 p.s.i. and just enough pressure to fold the drill. It was an amazingly simple and cheap fix, but we’d have never figured it out without neighbours, both close by and on Twitter. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

s the seeding season arrives, so does the annual spring photo contest. We have run seasonal photo contests at The Western Producer for about 20 years, and while we haven’t had them every year, in recent years it has become popular. In the old days, we sorted through hundreds of prints and slides, which were mailed in by readers. Our librarian and other administrative staff would lay the entries out on tables in our boardroom or classroom at 2310 Millar Avenue in Saskatoon. Each photo had the envelope it arrived in, with a return address and a note, generally handwritten, identifying who was in the image and where it had been taken. Some had return envelopes. Generally, I and another editor or two would judge the contest. The room smelled of photos. Yes, they had an odour in those days, a bit of the lingering essence of the fixer that stabilized chemical-bath processed prints. And the image quality varied dramatically. Some were eight by 10 inch prints, generally shot with 35 millimetre cameras, but a few were in glorious black and white. Some would be made on medium format cameras by serious photo-hobbyist farmers, while others came from tiny 110 film. Some of that looked as though the camera had been stored on the dash of a pick-up truck for a year or two. The prints had a dreamy, grainy, washed out look, the kind kids today get when they use Instagram to post their images to the internet. All photos were film-based in those days. The quality of the camera and access to better print making, as well some experience, made a big difference in the quality of the images and who would win the contests. Today, our photo contest at producer.com still does what those of the early 1990s did. It captures the bigger picture of what seeding or harvest looks like in Canada. The cameras are better and they are now in everyone’s pockets. High quality tools have dramatically improved image quality. Aerial drones add new angles. The number of contest entries has grown substantially, with more than 700 in our 2015 harvest contest. It makes the judging a lot tougher. We once again look forward to your view of farming.

Some for, some against researcher’s views on glyphosate PRODUCER ONLINE

PAUL YANKO

n case it wasn’t already abundantly clear, a couple chemicalrelated stories in last week’s paper provided a vivid illustration of one subject that continually gets our readers talking online. First came reporter Robert Arnason’s profile of University of Saskatchewan professor John Giesy, a leading expert on the subject of

tox icology, and his views on glyphosate. “You might be able to show that (glyphosate causes cancer) in an in-vitro test … but in an animal model, at a reasonable dose, would that occur? My reading of the literature is that it won’t,” Giesy said in a rare interview with the press. Our readers were quick to respond. “Is glyphosate dangerous? Yes ... because it has been allowed to proliferate global agricultural reasoning, reaching the end of its effective lifespan, with uncertain toxicity and no apparent replacement other than more of the same... Another failed end run around natural law and no closer to a sustainable solution... .If this is progress, well, keep playing ...

the musicians on the Titanic did,” writes a reader identifying himself as Richard. On Facebook, reader Rose Stevens posted a link to a YouTube video of an alleged lobbyist refusing to drink glyphosate, and added, “Perhaps this professor might want to get together with this lobbyist and have a cup of Roundup tea, seeing they both think glyphosate is so safe.” Most of the comments were critical of his stance, but there were also those supportive of Giesy. “We in the industry have the greatest exposure. I don’t see ill effects,” Paul Heglund wrote on the WP’s Facebook page. “Very important article,” wrote Robert Wager. The second story to get our read-

ers buzzing came out one day later and concerned the release of a Health Canada review of the world’s oldest herbicide, 2,4-D and Health Canada’s finding that the chemical does not cause cancer. “So 2,4-D has miraculously improved since the ’50s when it was banned. Awesome. Too bad none of us believe it, knowing how corrupt Health Canada is,” wrote April Reeves. “Overall rates of cancer are decreasing, so yes, some of these chemicals aren’t the bogeymen David Suzuki types claim,” wrote Stephen Daniels.

As a group of people, whether it be provincial, municipal or city, we need a variety of services. Taxes are collected to pay for these services. We are accustomed to our elected officials buying equipment and hiring people to provide services. Cost savings mean we are taxed less. When provinces do this, the companies formed are called crown corporations. There are many advantages. For one, profits these companies make go into general revenue, which reduces our tax load. A private company providing those services likely has a head office in Alberta, Ontario or China. The profits go there, so we pay more in taxes. We know that grandpas who buy candy, ice cream and toys are popular. A political party can be noted for buying votes. When the electorate realizes that party is getting us into financial trouble, they vote in people who will tighten belts to straighten out the books. Of course the first party, the one that created the problem, will say life was so much better when they were in power, so get re-elected to start the cycle all over. When an administration sells off crown corporations or ties the province into 30 year loan payments to balance the books, the following administration is going to be seriously hampered in efforts to pay for our services. As an example, wouldn’t it be nice if the Potash Corporation, which was a crown, had not been sold? The profits would replace a lot of our current taxes. A party might brag about cutting taxes. Remember, the way they do it, by paying less now, later, you will pay a lot more for fewer services. Lorne Jackson Moose Jaw, Sask.

PESTICIDE REVIEW

Man. farmers raise power project as election issue

2,4-D not carcinogenic: Health Canada

More compensation wanted BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Southern Manitoba landowners who are battling the government over a controversial power transmission line are determined to make it an issue in the provincial election. In December 2014, the provincial government and Manitoba Hydro expropriated land from 120 farmers to establish a right of way for a high voltage power line known as Bipole III. The $4.6 billion power transmission project will run from northern hydroelectric dams to the Saskatchewan border, then west of Lake Manitoba before cutting across prime agricultural land in southern Manitoba. The farmers want to negotiate a compensation package as a group, but Manitoba Hydro and the province have refused. The utility said its terms and compensation for individual landowners is already generous. The group, known as the Bipole III Landowners Committee, started a website called stophydrobullies.ca to generate interest in its cause. The group said the government and the utility are trampling on property rights and ignoring the right of Manitoba residents to organize and bargain collectively. “We’re using social media to get our message across,” said Jurgen Kohler, who farms near Brunkild and leads the committee. “We’re still insisting that we have a right to have CAEPLA (Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations), our legal rep, do the negotiation for us.” Manitoba’s NDP government has dismissed the group’s demands, but the Progressive Conservative party, which is leading the polls for the April 19 election, has expressed support and been critical of Bipole III. “We are calling on the NDP to put the best interests of Manitobans ahead of ideology and stop all construction on the Bipole III transmission line until a full financial needs assessment is done,” PC leader Brian Pallister said in 2014. As of April 4, the PCs had not released its campaign position on Bipole III. “We will be putting out something … but it hasn’t come out yet,” said Blaine Pedersen, a PC MLA for Midland in south-central Manitoba. Bipole III has been contentious since 2010 when Manitoba Hydro first announced its route. Landowners, engineers and former Manitoba Hydro executives have said the route is too long and expensive and will burden the utility with debt. Many believe the line should run east of Lake Winnipeg, which would be shorter and likely cheaper to build. robert.arnason@producer.com

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency and Health Canada conclude it poses no health or environmental risk BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Health Canada has concluded that 2,4-D is safe for humans and the environment. In late March, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency released the findings of its special review of 2,4-D, one of the world’s oldest common herbicide. The PMRA’s review, which began in 2013, was prompted in part by Norway’s prohibition of all uses of 2,4-D. Health Canada experts, after studying the published literature and industry safety data, decided the herbicide is not a carcinogen.

“The PMRA review of the available toxicological database for 2,4-D determined that based on in vitro and in vivo studies, all forms of 2,4-D are not mutagenic or genotoxic,” the PMRA said in a report released March 31. “The overall weight of evidence indicates that 2,4-D is not carcinogenic in rats, mice, and dogs.” PMRA scientists also considered the herbicide’s potential impact on the environment, particularly aquatic habitats. The PRMA came to its conclusions even when assuming high concentrations of 2,4-D. “The risk to aquatic plants from 2,4-D in runoff is not of concern,” the report said. “Evaluation of avail-

able scientific information related to the aspects of concern for human health and the environment indicated that the registered products containing 2,4-D are acceptable for continued registration.” The PMRA finding differs from the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) An IARC panel classified 2,4-D as possibly carcinogenic to humans last June, based on studies showing the herbicide causes oxidative stress and immuno-suppression. However, IARC said 2,4-D was possibly carcinogenic, rather than probably, because the scientific evidence was weak.

“Epidemiological studies did not find strong or consistent increases in risk of NHL (non-Hodgkins lymphoma) or other cancers in relation to 2,4-D exposure.” Health Canada scientists agreed with that portion of the IARC assessment. “The available epidemiological studies provide … no evidence for an association between exposure to 2,4-D and other human cancers, including prostate, breast, pancreatic, colorectal, and brain cancers.” Canadians can comment on the PMRA review before the agency makes its final decision. robert.arnason@producer.com

BEAR RESEARCH

Fewer conflicts between grizzlies, producers in 2015 Installing hopper-bottom bins, bear-proof grain doors and electric fences may have played a role in reducing conflicts BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Grizzly bears have been known to kill calves and break open grain bins and beehives in southwestern Alberta. For the bears, the incidents are a free lunch. For ranchers, farmers and beekeepers, it constitutes money lost and conflict between their livelihoods and bears’ inclinations. The number of grizzly and rancher conflicts rose steadily from 1999 to 2014, but in 2015 the number dropped by half. It is an encouraging sign for Jeff Bectell of the Waterton Biosphere Reserve Association and for property owners in bear management area six, which extends across southern Alberta. The biosphere has had a carnivores and communities program in place to mitigate problems created by grizzlies. “Regardless of the reason, we’re glad it was a better year for people,” said Bectell. “There were some people that still got hit hard. It wasn’t a better year for everybody, but in general it was a better year. No matter what the reason, we’re glad of that. We hope that it’s a trend.” Installation of hopper-bottom bins, bear-proof bin doors, electric fencing and bins for dead livestock are among the projects designed to help ranchers live with grizzly bears. Those efforts likely play a role in conflict reduction but are just as likely to be only part of the picture. “In 2015 it did go down. Hopefully the projects have some role in that,” Bectell said. A poor berry crop in 2014 may have prompted grizzly bears to adjust their home range and spend more time in Montana or British Columbia. Bears that consistently damage property may have been relocated, reducing conflict. Some may have died or been killed. Yet another possibility is that the people affected reported fewer incidents. The number is dictated by those who call the provincial fish and wildlife department about bear sightings, property damage and livestock killed by predators. “As people maybe understand what to look for more … maybe they don’t call in as much,” Bectell said. Grizzly bear researcher Andrea Morehouse has studied ranchergrizzly conflicts and undertook a DNA project in 2011-15 to determine how many grizzly bears inhabit the region. She acknowledged the many variables that can affect bear contact with people and property. “It’s hard to say because there are

so many potential explanations. It’s probably some combination,” said Morehouse. She collected hair samples from trees and objects where grizzly bears rub and identified 213 bears in the four-year hair collection phase of her project. “That breaks down to 95 females and 118 males. That’s cumulative over those four years, so we’re not saying that all of those bears are here all at one time,” she said. “On average, we’re detecting about 118 bears per year, but not all at once. That’s over the course of a year.” Population up The number of bears that live permanently in southwestern Alberta is probably lower than 118, and the number that use the area at some point is probably higher because not every bear stops to rub and leave hair behind, said Morehouse. However, the 118 per year average and 213 total is much higher than the previous estimate of 51 grizzly bears, which was based on 2007 data. Morehouse defends her thesis later this month, which is based on her research. She said she will provide a full report to the Waterton Biosphere Reserve once the thesis is peer reviewed. Her report is expected to include modelling that will indicate the range and health of southern Alberta’s resident grizzly population. The bears are considered a threatened species and cannot be legally hunted or shot. That has presented problems for some ranchers who frequently sustain the costs of property damage and livestock loss. Bectell, who is also a cattle rancher, hopes Morehouse’s data will improve options for dealing with problem bears. “I think in general, as we can kind of establish that grizzly bears are secure, that the science says this is a healthy population and its increasing … then if there needs to be a higher mortality rate, if we need to allow for a higher mortality rate to, for instance, take out a problem bear … it shouldn’t be as hard to say, ‘yes, let’s remove that bear.’ ” Bectell said ranchers might be more comfortable accepting the presence of grizzly bears if they know they have options to deal with problem animals. The province implemented a recovery plan when grizzlies were deemed endangered in 2007. Bectell said an updated plan has been drafted, and will soon be ready for public comment. barb.glen@producer.com

Black bears avoid grizzlies

Heritage broiler chickens ideal on outdoor free range

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

What do bears do in the woods? They rub on trees, for one thing. That particular habit allowed University of Alberta researcher Andrea Morehouse to collect hair left on particularly attractive scratching sites. She used the hair from grizzly bears to test their DNA and get a more accurate count on their numbers in southwestern Alberta. However, black bears like to rub, too, and now their hair is being tested by Annie Loosen, a U of A masters student and researcher. Loosen used hair collected in 2013 and 2014 to identify 347 black bears in Alberta’s bear management area six, which is south of Highway 3. Trail cameras show that not all bears stop to rub, said Loosen. They may sense a more dominant black bear has already rubbed or they may be intimidated by evi-

dence of a grizzly bear. That means collected hair samples can’t be relied on to tell the population story. However, Loosen said there hasn’t been an update on Alberta black bear populations for 20 to 30 years. There is a hunting season for black bears and they are generally considered to be more plentiful than grizzlies. Morehouse’s research has found that at least 213 grizzly bears live or pass through the study area, and black bears tend to avoid grizzlies. “Landowners, fish and wildlife officers, provincial biologists have noticed that black bears aren’t in places that they’ve usually been,” said Loosen. “There’s some suggestion that black bears are altering movements or range in response to a growing grizzly bear population.” For more information, visit www. biology.ualberta.ca/blackbear. barb.glen@producer.com

Breeders say Nova Browns have few health problems and are good foragers BY EDNA MANNING FREELANCE WRITER

pedigree lines. They are a slightly slower growing breed than the industrial meat bird, the Cornish Cross, known for its high growth rate and resulting health issues. The Nova Brown is a hardy bird, bred to roam free and enjoy a natural lifestyle. “These birds retain their strong heritage traits, which include not only the old-fashioned flavour and texture but also a good bone structure and a desire to range and forage,” said Barbara Aaron. “The breast is slightly longer and lower on the bone, but is still a good breast. These birds are healthy, and proven to have very few problems. They are good on their legs and don’t have heart attacks.” The Nova Brown is ready for slaughter in about 63 days and finishes out at six to seven pounds live weight and five to six lb. dressed. The Aarons initially became interested in the heritage breed in the early 1990s while they were operating a poultry business in the U.K. They were approached by a large game dealer interested in establishing a plant to process outdoor free range chickens using the conventional white broiler. “He had not had much success with the white birds and consulted with us,” Aaron said. That led the couple to mainland Europe to check out heritage chickens that would thrive under outdoor free-range conditions. They selected the Nova Brown, starting with a small breeder flock. “We took the very first chicks that came off our hatcher and grew them out to the finished bird to see how they would turn out,” she said. “We were really happy with them. They were calm, friendly and loved being outside. We had them in a location next to some woods, and they enjoyed having access to the shelter of the trees.” The Aarons established and managed several producer groups in the U.K. over the next seven years and marketed the birds to a major organic processor. The meat’s flavour quickly caught the attention of large grocery chains. The Aarons moved back to Canada in 2000 and bought six acres of property in Nova Scotia’s Lunenburg County in 2013. “We were both retirement age, but we couldn’t just sit around and do nothing,” Aaron said. They decided to get back to doing what they loved: breeding and hatching Nova Brown chickens. They built two barns and today their hatchery produces 700 chicks a week, which they ship across Canada. The Aarons stress the importance of proper care for their birds. A mixed range is necessary so that they have access to grass for forage and trees and shrubs for protection. “The birds are terrified of overhead predators and like to get undercover,” Aaron said. A spacious, clean, well-ventilated and insulated barn with large win-

Many customers want the birds for their own consumption, but the Aarons also hope to interest commercial free-range and organic growers. They would like to see the Nova Brown become established as an alternative to the Cornish Cross. “Whether it’s organic or not, the white bird is the only choice for consumers in Canada right now,” she said. “Consumers today are concerned about the taste and quality of their food, where it comes from and how it’s grown. They need to have a choice.” Challenges remain, including a limited production season because licensed free-range growers in Nova Scotia are not allowed to raise birds between November and April. “That means we will still have laying hens and hatching eggs which we can’t afford to throw away,” she said. “We hope to convince the quota body that winter growing is possible here without compromising the welfare of the birds.” The Aarons would also like to designate the Nova Brown as a specialty bird, which would eliminate the need for a quota and allow them to set up grower rings. “Because we’re going after a different market, we’re not in competition with the other growers,” she said. “Ours is a heritage breed, and we have a different production system. The Nova Brown is a specialty bird and should be treated as such. This would allow us to get it out to the Canadian consumer.” The Aarons have started an online publication, Free Ranger Magazine, as a way to bring all free range and organic growers in Canada together as a community to share information and ideas.

Candidate gives up farming to seek change-making role Portage la Prairie MLA Ian Wishart says listening to voters is a full-time job This story is part of a series on farmers who are becoming directly involved in the Manitoba election. BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — It’s not hard to find Ian Wishart on a farm these days, as he is on this sunny morning in late March. It’s just not his farm you’re likely to find him on between sun-up and sundown.

“It’s full time, plus about 10 percent,” said Wishart, a former potato, cattle, forage and crops producer from Portage La Prairie, where he is the Progressive Conservative MLA and seeking reelection in the provincial election. “You can’t do this job plus any other job, especially including farming.” On this day, he was visiting a vegetable growing operation just east of Portage to talk about a host of concerns with the farmers,

including the constant threat of flooding. Wishart is an agriculture policy and farm group heavyweight, having previously been president of Keystone Agricultural Producers and a leader with potato and forage growers groups. He left industry organizations behind in 2010 when he sought the PC nomination for Portage and later became the MLA in the 2011 election. He also found he couldn’t keep farming. He had good farm help, which allowed the farm to keep running for a while, but when the help retired, he decided to sell the cattle and rent out the rest of his land. “I didn’t want to train somebody new,” he said. Now he lives on the farm but doesn’t get much time to sit on the tractor anymore. “I’m a weekend farmer now.” He’s kept busy with his role as the party’s family services critic as well as all the usual work of an MLA. “I really do like the part of this job where you get to help individuals,” said Wishart, who had just met with a local farming family to talk about agricultural issues. The PCs dominate rural Manitoba, winning most of the purely rural and small urban seats in the most previous elections. However, the party has not held government since 1999 because of Winnipeg’s domination of the provincial population. Still, the PCs received more votes in the last election than the NDP and hope to do better this time. The NDP is deeply unpopular, even in parts of Winnipeg, and the provincial Liberals are likely to siphon off left-centre votes. Wishart has spent his off-farm career lobbying for farmers’ interests, and has spent his political career criticizing government actions and highlighting unmet needs of his constituents and Manitobans. He’s hoping to actually be able to be in the change-making role for once after the election. “We’re looking forward to forming government so we can really get some change done,” said Wishart. Will he ever get back to farming? He’s 61 years old and “not getting any younger,” he said. He hopes to be an MLA for a few more years. However, he has some farming “projects” in mind for his postpolitical career, whenever that comes. One is reviving a neglected apple orchard on the farm. At one time, Manitoba seemed like it might become another centre of apple production, and that’s a dream he’d like to help bring to reality. “I think there’s potential for Manitoba to do some of that, and do some value-added,” he said. However, the time for dreaming about that is not now. He’s got a campaign to run and after visiting this farm beside the Assiniboine River, he had a day of meetings and events to attend.

MANITOBA ELECTION

NDP MLA enjoys being a farmer The farm was bought after he was elected BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

POPLARFIELD, Man. — Getting elected often forces a farmer-politician to give up farming. For Tom Nevakshonoff, getting elected in 1999 meant the opposite. Once he won as the NDP member for Interlake, he and his wife bought a quarter section and started farming. “I wanted to experience farming personally so that I could better represent the people within my constituency,” Nevakshonoff said during an interview in his farmhouse a few hundred metres from Poplarfield, a village at “the crossroads of the Interlake.” Nevakshonoff may not have a farming background, but he does have a deep Poplarfield background. His father bought the hotel in town in 1959 when he was one year old and the family moved to the community. His father was also a carpenter, and Nevakshonoff showed a similar proclivity for hard work, ending up working in the Alberta oil patch for 20 years before politics. Nevakshonoff’s wife, Rozanne, bought Dorper sheep after they acquired the quarter section and developed a sheep breeding operation. It provided lots of physical work for Nevakshonoff when he returned home from Winnipeg, where he was conservation minister in the former government. “This is my therapy,” he said as he walked through the sheep facilities, checking on the fences and feed. “She’s the real flock manager. I’m more the guy that builds the fences, gates, barns, garages, drives the tractor.” Nevakshonoff became conservation and water stewardship minister last year, which gave him the opportunity to deal directly with one of the most contentious subjects in rural Manitoba: water management. He seems to relish the job and leaps into the opportunity to talk about the regulations and legislation that have been passed and proposed, which he thinks proves the NDP is the best party to watch out for farmers and rural people. “Over the years, probably half my case work revolves around water issues,” said Nevakshonoff. The Interlake constituency is unusual in Manitoba, being one of the only mostly-rural areas that has elected NDP candidates in recent elections. Ron Kostyshyn’s northwestern Swan River constituency is the other notable NDP footprint in Manitoba farm country. Nevakshonoff thinks the NDP message works in his area because of the great range of industries and interests, from farming to indigenous communities to substantial cottage communities on the lakes. He said the government has worked hard to solve the region’s complicated challenges, which is the record on which he’s running.

“You have to balance it all.” Polls suggest the NDP government is likely to lose on election day, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Nevakshonoff is fighting an uphill battle in his constituency. It’s an odd duck of a riding, and as an ex-oilfield worker who has eased into farming, he’s an odd duck of a politician, and he hopes that keeps working for him. ed.white@producer.com

PULSE CROPS

Lentils play an important role on the Gessell farm BY ANNEMARIE PEDERSEN FREELANCE WRITER

• Canada is the world’s largest exporter of lentils, selling to over 100 countries per year • Most commonly grown are the large green “Laird” lentil and the red lentil • Often sold to the consumer in dry form but also used as ingredients in the food industry in soups and stew or are rehydrated for canning.

urt Gessell is the third generation on the family grain farm west of Delisle, Sask. He works with his father Brent and his brother Clint and they grow wheat, canola, sometimes peas but always lentils. “Growing lentils is a very important part of what we do. The crop has allowed us to diversify our crop rotation over the past 30 years,” says Curt. Curt says they choose lentils because their land seems to suit the crop. And while he believed the crop needed to be grown in a drier climate, he found it tolerated a few years of wetter conditions fairlywell. One of the reasons may be continuing improvements in the varieties available. “These varieties seem to have better disease tolerance and the yield potential has also come along with that. We have seen new weed control options as well,” says Curt.

• Lentil flakes are used in nutritional bars and breakfast cereals. They have twice as much protein as other cereal grain. • 99% of Canada’s lentils are grown in Saskatchewan Source: Pulse Canada

Moisture creates challenges

Disease in lentils is an ongoing concern for farmers. “One of the challenges is definitely keeping disease in check on those wetter years, when you get frequent small little showers and the crop canopy grows rank and it starts to canopy over. It’s just like a greenhouse down at the bottom of the crop, so keeping the disease out of it is critical for producing a good lentil crop,” said Curt. They have learned over the years that if conditions are good and prices are favourable for the crop, they take a proactive approach with disease management in lentils. If conditions for disease look favourable they make sure to treat the crop to keep disease out. “We get our seed tested and make

LENTIL FACTS

sure disease levels are acceptable. We use seed treatments to protect it early on as it’s coming out of the ground and then we use foliar fungicide in-crop during the season.” Curt added that over the last few years they have seen improvements in the fungicides and other treatments they use. “But as we are continually challenged to increase our yields we will need to rely on companies to bring new products to meet those challenges.” Continual improvement is part of the conversation when talking with

Curt. “It’s always a challenge to keep disease out of the lentil crops. We need to use high water volumes and any new option to make disease management easier is always a good thing. Better genetics so we can reduce the number of times we need to apply fungicide would be a big improvement,” said Curt. When it comes to weed control, Curt feels lucky in the options that are currently available but said, “There’s a lot of concern among farmers about weed resistance and we will need to rely on crop protection manufacturers to bring us new alternatives so we don’t paint ourselves into a corner with weed resistance issues.” From the field to the table As a lentil grower Curt relies on the processors as they play a critical role in getting his crops from the farm to the store shelves and the consumers. “We need the support of the processors and we also have

to support them – they are a critical link in getting our product to market,” said Curt. With increased demand over the years and more growers getting into pulse crops, they are seeing more pulse processing plants and companies getting into the business. Curt takes a global view of the lentil crops he grows annually. “Sometimes I see a sea can going down the highway, knowing that it is getting loaded on a train and eventually will go overseas and I wonder if it’s lentils that we grew on our farm. I think sometimes it would be neat to trace the steps from the fields of our farm to the store shelves across the world in other countries. To see the journey our crop takes to get to dinner tables of the people who consume our crops.” He is complimentary of the work currently being done by Pulse Growers to promote and market pulses. “I would like to see continual promotion of the health benefits of

pulse crops in new markets – like the United States and Canada. It’s one of the crops we grow where people are actually promoting the health benefits. We get scrutinized for some of the genetically modified crops we grow, but pulse crops have a real health benefit so I think continual promotion of that, even domestically, would be a good thing just to expand those markets.” His pride in the crop he grows and its final destination is obvious. “Pulses are an important food source for a number of countries and they look to Canada to meet their needs. It makes me proud to be a pulse grower knowing we are playing a small but critical role in supplying other countries with healthy food like peas and lentils,” said Curt. Above all else, Curt is very proud to be producing food for other families around the world. This is part two of three-part sponsored content series profiling pulse growers in Canada.

HEREDITARY TRAIT

Grey hair a concern? HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Going grey or white early in life seems to run in my family. Is this a cause for concern? I am female and in my mid-30s and am starting to find grey hairs. Is this problem associated with premature aging in other ways? Can it be prevented or stopped from getting worse? Is it caused by a sudden stress such as a death in the family?

ON THE FARM

Farm a family endeavour Agronomy background contributes to success; sitting on the flax commission gives insight BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WATROUS, Sask. — Nancy Johns and her husband, Jason, have deep family roots in agriculture. And if Nancy’s suspicions are accurate, those roots might soon extend to another generation in the Johns family tree. The Johnses live in Watrous and manage a century-old family farm near Zelma, 40 kilometres away. Jason’s parents still live on the farm and Jason and Nancy share the work. The Johns’ son, eight-year-old Ben, has all the makings of a nextgeneration farmer. When he’s not in school, Ben spends every spare minute with his mother, walking fields, scouting for insects, riding in farm machines and learning the art of growing and harvesting crops. “He’s my little sidekick,” said Nancy, who works on the farm, helps with management and runs her own independent agronomy business on the side. “He loves farming and he lives in the combine. It (farming) is his heritage. He’s grown up around it and when he gets older, it will probably be his thing.” Johns’ interest in farming followed a similar course. She grew up on a mixed farm near Silton, Sask., and her parents

and brother, Scott, and his family still farm in the area. Johns left the farm after high school, got a degree in agriculture and eventually landed in Watrous, where she worked as an extension agrologist with Saskatchewan Agriculture. In 2005, the Saskatchewan government closed 22 rural service centres and laid off 120 people in communities around the province, including Watrous. That’s when Johns started her own agronomy business called Hope Floats Agronomy. Local clients appreciate the fact that Hope Floats is not affiliated with crop input retailers. The advice she gives is independent and non-biased with no hidden sales agenda. “I’m not tied with any company, so I think that really helps,” she said. Johns admitted that farming, raising a son and running an agronomy business can be a handful at times. Farming can be a stressful career even at the best of times, but the lifestyle is rewarding and the financial returns have been good during the past few years. “And it’s a good life, generally, as long as you can handle the stress,” she said. “That’s one part of farming that a lot of people don’t think about is the stress … and being

ON THE FARM

THE JOHNS FAMILY Watrous, Sask. able to have the faith that the crops you plant will end up in the bin.” Her agronomy background has helped keep the farm profitable. Good crop management practices combined with sustainable rotations are central to the operation’s success. The Johnses plant 5,500 acres each year, producing wheat, malting barley, canola, flax, peas, lentils and the odd crop of fababeans. Johns has also sat on the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission’s board of directors for the past four years. The experience with SaskFlax has widened her perspective and given her new insights into the issues that affect production, marketing, processing and use of flax. “It’s a big time commitment, I’m not going to lie,” she said. “But you really get to see the

industry more as a whole. As a farmer, we produce flax, we sell it and we (complain) when the prices are too low. “But when you start looking beyond production, to where we’re marketing the crop and at some of the environmental factors … it really gives you a different perspective. “For example, I’ve learned a lot more about the end user and about the importance of having consistent products going out.” Johns sees a positive future for flax production and prairie agriculture in general, but she acknowledged that there will be challenges. The real and perceived competition for land has pushed values and rents to new heights in recent years, which has made it harder for young farmers to get into the business and remain competitive. “Young guys who are starting out … can’t walk in and drop a $1million, $3 million, $5 million, and I don’t think it should be up to (the parents) to put their retirement on the line just so their kids can farm,” she said. “But when you’re trying to buy land and you’re going up against investment funds and other corporate investors, you just can’t compete for one or two quarters against that.” brian.cross@producer.com

Most white people start to find a few grey hairs by their mid-30s, so you are actually in the normal range. There are usually significant amounts of grey by the time a person turns 50. People of Asian origin start to have a grey hair about five years later on average, while Africans do not have it until they are in their mid-40s. White Caucasians can be considered to have premature greying if it starts before the age of 20, and other races proportionally later. Premature greying is hereditary in most instances, but in rare cases it may be associated with certain medical conditions, such as diseases of the pituitary gland or thyroid or vitamin B12 deficiency. Some people have told me that their hair turned grey when it grew back following hair loss from chemotherapy. These situations generally correct themselves after the disease is successfully treated or controlled with medication. It may take a few months until the new healthy hair replaces the grey. Hair generally grows at about half an inch a month. There are anecdotes about people suddenly turning white after a shock, such as the Wall Street crash in the 1930s, but there is no scientific evidence that stress can do this. Researchers at the University College in London, England, recently identified the IRF4 gene that is responsible for grey hair. They believe that in the future it will be possible to invent a drug or a cosmetic preparation that could switch off the gene. In the meantime, you have the option to dye your hair or go grey gracefully. It looks lovely on some people.

BECOMING A TEEN

New organic snack guilt-free

Pre-teen years can be stressful

Peas fit into the farm’s rotations, fix nitrogen and are nutritious

SPEAKING OF LIFE

BY ROBIN BOOKER

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The peas had cooled down enough from the baking process the previous day and were now being packaged by University of Saskatchewan Food Centre by staff. They wear hairnets and white coats with red collars that allow access to the facility’s organic areas. Allen Zak, chief executive officer of Zak Organics, made a 300kilometre journey to bring a trailer loaded with bags of organic peas he grew and cleaned on his 6,000acre family farm. Once the food centre staff finished packaging the spicy or herbed peas, Zak loaded them back into the trailer for the trip back to Fir Mountain, Sask. This trek was brief compared to the research and development journey Zak spearheaded while creating a green pea snack. He went through a grant application process for Saskatchewan Agri-Value Initiative Program, then a year of collaboration with food scientists at the Food Centre where the final recipes and pea snack producing techniques were fine tuned. “There is a lot of testing that goes on behind development of a food product like this. Once you have it at that stage and it’s ready for commercial development, they can help you bring it to market and learn how to scale up your product to larger commercial style production,” Zak said. The Zak farm has been operating for more than a century. It produces wheat, peas, lentils and flax, grown under strict organic protocols that trace crops from the field to the customer. Zak hires two labourers to get him through the farm season. Zak’s father, his wife, Marilyn, and their two boys also work on the farm. “My sons are in charge of the warehouse. My wife is actually the financial officer for the company and handles all the accounting work,” Zak said. Peas ability to fix nitrogen in the soil makes it a useful crop to manage soil-nitrogen levels for organic growers, who are limited in the amount of fertilizers they can apply. “We use green manure plow down to increase our fertility in the soil, crop rotation. Seeding timing is very important when you are organic,” Zak said. Pea fits well into Zak’s rotations, but he chose the legume as the base ingredient of the snacks for its nutritional content also. “Peas are naturally high in vitamins, minerals, and have incredible other health benefits from anti-inflammatory, and other health benefits. Also peas are rich in protein and fiber, and low in fat,” Zak said. He tested many varieties of peas at the food centre before settling

We are not sure what to do with our little girl. She has always been the greatest kid and we naturally expected that she would stay that way, but this year things have changed. She is in Grade 8, but the way that she is going, she may not graduate from elementary school. Her marks are way down, as is her attitude. She often refuses to do her homework and getting her to attend to her farm chores is almost impossible. What can we do?

on a variety. The farm had to ramp up its production to keep up with his food company’s demand. “Taste was very important to us when we were initially developing our product, so we began working with Splendor Gardens from Watson, Sask. They’re providing a lot of our organic spices so they are fresh and have a great taste and give our product a great taste as well,” Zak said. Processing the farm’s raw products adds value to the peas before he markets them. “Markets go up and down, but if our food company can create demand through our snack, that helps diversify our farm and demand for the commodities our farm is producing too,” he said. There are lots of snacks that taste

good but are unhealthy, and also snacks that are good for you but have poor taste, he said. “So we decided to make a snack that was healthy for us that we could make with our own organic ingredients grown on our farm, something that we would like to eat and other people would like to eat,” he said. The pea snacks are USDA and Canada Organic Certified, as well as free from trans-fat, cholesterol, dairy, gluten and artificial flavors or colors. Zak likes to educate his customers about how he grows and pro-

cesses his peas. “It made sense to start a company where we could grow our own product, process it, package it and meet the people that are enjoying it,” he said. For more information, visit www.zakorganics.com. robin.booker@producer.com

Preadolescence is that fateful period from 10 to 15 years old. Children at this stage in their lives experience more change than they will at any other time. Your daughter’s body is making all kinds of changes: growing at different rates, arms and legs sometimes growing faster than the torso and leaving her clumsy and awkward. She may also be going through neurological changes as the part of her brain that works with her emotions growing a little more quickly than the part that drives her into sensible thinking. She is experiencing sexual development and likely going through her first monthly period. And with all of the pressure on peer development, she may find herself vulnerable to social expectations on the playground. Although your daughter may at times resent it, this is the time in her life when she likely needs her parents to be more parenting than ever. All of the changes in her life can leave her confused about what or what is not going on for her. She needs to be settled, and the probability of her doing that on her own is at an all time low. She needs you and her father to build a bit of structure into her life, but don’t get carried away. The structure that works best for kids of this age is relatively simple. It usually means having regular meal times, regular bed times, a quiet time that could be used for school work during school nights and an expectation that she will be civil to others around the house. You might also have a family meeting once a week so you all know who is doing what, where and when. I suspect that at least a part of you wants to threaten your daughter with all kinds of sanctions if her marks do not improve. I can understand that, but reading the riot act usually doesn’t help anyone in the long term. If you let your daughter know that you are concerned for her wellbeing and implement structure in her life, she will likely get into high school and soon be that great kid you knew when she was younger.

DIET, LONGEVITY

Healthier bodies needed to accompany longer life span Aging populations can be a drain on health care if they have a poor diet and lifestyle that leads to obesity and disease BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The gap between a healthy life and a long life is widening, says a Japanese researcher. “This is a problem,” said Dr. Kunihiro Kitano, chief co-ordinator for the Northern Advancement Centre for regional innovation strategy in Sapporo, Japan. “This study shows that we are just making unhappy people live longer.” Wilf Keller, president of Ag-West Bio, which hosted Kitano’s presentation at the University of Saskatchewan, said the choice of speaker was a conscious decision. “Lets face it, if you want to bring someone in to talk about longevity, it has to come from Japan because they’re leaders in this area in terms of life span, diet and all these issues,” he said. “There’s a lot of interest in Japan about diet, quality of food, and that’s very important to us in Saskatchewan and Western Canada because we continue to build our relationships with Japan in this area.” Kitano’s presentation included epidemiological data compiled from a global disease study at the University of Washington, which compared health loss over time and across causes, age-sex groups

Kunihiro Kitano spoke about global health concerns, comparing statistics from several countries gathered by the United Nations and the World Health Organization. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO and countries. Six surveys have been completed since 1990 for 188 countries and more than 300 diseases. Japan has one of the world’s longest living populations. The average life expectancy in Japan for male and females is 84 years, while healthy life expectancy is 75 years. In contrast, Canada’s life expectancy is 83 with a healthy life expectancy of 73. Kitano said aging societies need

to keep an eye on their scale of disease burden and should be concerned with the expanding difference between life expectancy and a healthy life. The overall population in Japan is shrinking, but the number of people older than 70 is increasing with longer life expectancy rising. One-third of the Japanese population will be older than 70 by 2050, compared to 20 percent in Canada, which remains a growing society.

Kitano said age specific dietary risk depends on the generation, and elders are more at risk because they are less apt to change eating habits. “Germany eats a lot of processed and red meat, Japan has high sodium and the U.S. is high in sugar sweetened beverages,” he said. “Eating habits is cultural, and drastic change is almost impossible,” he said. “Every age has some kind of eating trend and risk.” Quality of health in an aging population is motivating Japan to look for high functioning nutrition, which is motivating Kitano’s re-search to improve the value of products. Examples include the different antioxidants and lipids found in food products. However, Japanese people continue to be swayed by decorative packaging and don’t necessarily understand the nutritional value of contents compared to price. “Many Japanese look for olive oil in fancy bottles because they think it’s the healthiest oil. However, the less expensive canola oil is better,” he said. “The trend is Japanese people

prefer to have some kind of fancy food. They don’t understand the function of oil.” Keller said this information is important. “If you can connect quality of food that’s proven scientifically, it could impact not only the age but the quality of life.” Canada fairs well on disease charts, compared to France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan. The rate of cardiovascular disease and high systolic blood pressure has continually dropped in Canada since 1990 and is one of the lowest. However, Kitano said that high body mass, diabetes and urogenital, blood and endocrine diseases are increasing globally. “You eat too much,” he said. Kitano said Canadian’s need to lower their body mass index and reduce total calorie intake. Diets should include more vegetables and fish. “Balance of food is important. Timing of eating is important. Exercising is important.” william.dekay@producer.com

uba has been in the news with recent visits by U.S. President Barack Obama and the Rolling Stones. Though less newsworthy, we also made a recent visit to the island where Christopher Columbus stopped in 1492. He found no gold, so proceeded on to explore other islands.

GUAVA AND CHEESE SANDWICH One of our tour guides explained that a favourite Cuban sandwich is two slices of white Cuban cheese with a generous slice of guava paste between. Guava jam will also work nicely. The paste is like a solid jam in a rectangular block that can be sliced easily. The jam is best spooned onto the cheese slice. Use mild white cheese such as monterrey jack, havarti or cream cheese. My preference is havarti because it is a bit saltier and gives a nice contrast to the sweet guava. Rice is a staple in Cuban meals. Paella is a saffron-flavoured rice that is served in a wide, shallow,

two-handled pan called a paella. A variety of meats and shellfish are combined with the rice. The paella that we were served had whole shrimp, head and all, as well as squid and small octopus tentacles. The flavour was delicious.

The acid in the lemon juice brings out the colour and taste of the saffron. Steep for a few minutes. Sofrito is a sautéed vegetable sauce used as a base in many Cuban recipes. To make the sofrito, add oil to a nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add chopped peppers and onions, saute until softened (about 10 minutes). Add garlic cook about one minute, add tomatoes and

seasonings. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a thick flavourful sauce forms. Pour into a paella pan or a large casserole. Saute rice for a few minutes until it develops a slight nutty color. Add to sofrito and mix. Add beer and saffron-lemon mix to rice. Beer is used instead of water or stock to cook the rice to give a nice tangy taste. Brown the chicken pieces. Add to

rice, cover and cook 40 minutes in 350 F (180 C) oven. Saute scallops and shrimp, just until opaque but not cooked through. Place on top of rice, add peas, cover and cook another 15 minutes or until scallops and shrimp are cooked. Garnish with red pimientos or green olives just before serving. Serve with lemon wedges.

Total preparation and cooking time is about one hour. 4 strips bacon 12 chicken thighs, 1.5 kg bone in, skin on, or whole cut up chicken with skin on 2 tsp. salt 10 mL 1 tsp. pepper 5 mL 2 tsp. cumin, ground 10 mL 1 tbsp. olive oil for frying 15 mL 1 large onion, chopped 1 large green or red pepper 4 cloves garlic, mashed 1 bottle beer or cola drink 355 ml 2 c. chicken broth 500 mL 1 can tomato paste 156 mL 2 bay leaf 2 tsp. oregano 10 mL 1 tsp. turmeric 5 mL 1 1/2 c. parboiled rice 375 mL 1/2 c. frozen green 125 mL baby peas Saute bacon in a large frying pan. Reduce heat to low and cook about 10 minutes. Mix the salt, pepper and cumin in a small dish and sprinkle the chicken lightly with this seasoning mix. Retain the rest of the seasoning for later. Remove bacon, increase temperature to medium-high, add chicken to bacon fat and brown on both sides. Chop cooled bacon and set aside. Remove chicken.

Add olive oil to pan and sauté onion and pepper until onion is translucent. Add mashed garlic and cook one to two minutes, stirring frequently. Place chicken broth and beer or cola into a large covered pot. Add the browned chicken pieces, chopped bacon, cooked onions and pepper, tomato sauce, Bijol, bay leaf, oregano, turmeric, and remainder of salt, pepper, and cumin mixture. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Add rice. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. When rice has absorbed some of the liquid, cover and simmer on low for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and not soupy. Stir occasional to prevent sticking. Add frozen peas and cook five minutes. Serve chicken pieces on a bed of rice or remove chicken, skin and de-bone it and break into bite-size chunks before returning to rice. Do not substitute boneless, skinless chicken in this recipe because the meat will become tough and the dish won’t be as flavourful. Serves six to eight.

DRESDEN, Ont. — It’s been eight years since Charles Forman became interested in switchgrass. He and his partner at SwitchGreen now think they have a winner with Veggy Mulch. Test marketing of the pelleted product is set to begin this spring. It’s likely too expensive for a commercial farming operation, but Forman sees a niche market opportunity. “We think home gardeners are going to be the biggest users,” Forman said. “It’s unbelievable how clean you can keep your vegetables with this, and it breaks down in the soil to build organic matter.” The pellets are produced in Forman’s small, on-farm mill. He recommended spreading them around plants that are planted as plugs or have emerged from seed. They have been spread 2 1/2 centimetres deep in experiments at his family’s market garden. A little rain helps the material expand substantially, but most of it decomposes by fall.

The mulch helps keep weeds at bay because it acts as a barrier. It also keeps soil cool and moist. Unlike wood mulch, the switchgrass pellets don’t have a substantial impact on the availability of

nitrogen. Forman said other materials might eventually be added to the mix, such as feather meal or red clover. Many of Ontario’s 2,000 switchgrass growers see animal bedding as the biggest opportunity for the crop. Forman said there’s also potential as an energy crop and for industrial applications. Biomass pellets continue to be in demand in Europe, where carbon credits are available. He said a

similar market could emerge if these were available in North America, but it would likely also need a deep-pocketed investment commitment. Forman grows 25 acres of the crop in a drought-prone location where conventional crops proved to be a losing proposition. It yields 3.5 to five tons per acre with few costs beyond those for harvesting, processing and transport. “Even in the driest of summers, it just wants to grow.” Forman has previously marketed switchgrass for heating purposes by combining a small amount of the crop with waste wood. He said his investment hasn’t been a drain on the 2,500 acre farm that he operates with his wife, Christine, and son Ben near Kingston, Ont. Along with their market garden, they grow grain corn, soybeans, wheat, hybrid rye, millet and canola. SwitchGreen is a 50-50 partnership between Forman and David Hendrick, who is chief executive officer of Sevita International, which specializes in the food grade, non-genetically modified soybean market.

Yield focus urged for alfalfa seed

China likely to import more pork

Ninety percent of Alberta’s alfalfa seed crop is exported to premium markets such as U.S. BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BROOKS, Alta. — Alberta producers are expected to grow 45,000 acres of alfalfa seed this year. That’s up from 17,600 acres 10 years ago and a sign of industry health, said Alfalfa Seed Commission past-president Darren Nikkel. Jose Arias, director of seed production for Forage Genetics International, a contractor and marketer of alfalfa seed, agreed with that assessment during the commission’s March 22 annual meeting. He said the market for conven-

tional, dormant alfalfa seed looks stable. About half the alfalfa seed grown in Canada is used domestically, but 90 percent of Alberta’s seed crop is exported to premium markets in the United States, said Arias. “You guys are the producers of dormant conventional alfalfa for premium markets,” he said. “You guys have a huge commission here. I’m impressed at the number of people here at this meeting today. But we need to harness the energy of the commission towards research and development for better yield and better

quality.” Arias acknowledged the conflict surrounding genetically modified Roundup Ready alfalfa, noting politics “only slows down the progress.” FGI has the rights to distribute Roundup Ready alfalfa seed in Canada, and Arias repeated his company’s stance on production. “Seed production of biotech will remain in the U.S.A . only. We made that pledge. We will continue with that pledge until we’re ready to move on to the next level,” he said. FGI also has the rights to distribute a new GM alfalfa variety that has the stacked traits of glyphosate tolerance and low lignin. Arias said the variety, dubbed HarvXtra, is in a limited commercial launch in the U.S. Midwest this year. “It will give enough growers a feel of what it’s like. It’s primarily going to dairies, so we’ll have a lot of good information at the end of the season.” Arias said 35 percent of U.S. alfalfa seed purchases are GM, and FGI expects it to increase to 50 percent in 2018 with the introduction of

HarvXtra. FGI also anticipates that 15 to 20 percent of alfalfa acres in Argentina and Mexico will be HarvXtra by 2019. Arias said Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Argentina are the biggest markets for alfalfa seed. Water shortages and a 2018 review of alfalfa use in Saudi Arabia could affect the market for seed but could also increase the demand for hay, he said. Mexico, as the largest per capita consumer of milk, is expected to continue buying eight to nine million pounds of seed a year. The market future in Argentina is less stable because of political pressures that see alfalfa acres replaced with soybeans and corn. China is an emerging market, but it is price dependent. “The worry that we have in China is that one of these days they’ll figure out how to grow seed themselves,” said Arias. China has more dairy cows than the U.S. and could be a 20 million lb. market for alfalfa seed. barb.glen@producer.com

BEIJING/SINGAPORE (Reuters) — An exodus of small pig farmers in China is prolonging an industry downturn that will see the country challenge Japan as the top importer this year for the first time. Millions of small farmers quit the industry last year despite a recent surge in pork prices. The move came after two years of low prices and the introduction of tough new environmental rules. Their exit has reduced the number of breeding sows and curbed China’s ability to quickly rebuild its herd. Chinese imports may top one million tonnes for the first time this year, which is up 28 percent from 777,000 tonnes last year. China also imports roughly the same amount of snouts, ears and trotters, which are considered delicacies. The surge will benefit farmers in major exporting countries such as Germany, the United States and Brazil. “We are not expanding. We have lost all our money. Some of our members plan to quit breeding after they get their money back from the high price,” said Zhao Xuyou, a small hog farmer with a swine co-operative in the northern province of Shandong. “It is not a business for our size. It is a business for big players.” China’s pork industry regularly experiences boom-and-bust periods, and smallholder farmers are traditionally quick to respond to price changes, such as a rebound in pork prices late last year. However, herd rebuilding will be held back this time by a steep fall in the number of breeding sows after five million mainly small pig farms closed last year. Analysts said the current round of restocking could take another year, keeping pork prices high and boosting imports. Chinese hog farmers have been hit by new environmental rules that are forcing farms to move away from urban centres and implement costly systems to manage waste products. The number of breeding sows fell in February for a 30th month in a row in February to 37.6 million, a record low and down 7.9 percent from last year. The agriculture ministry said the slaughtering of breeding sows was continuing after breeders lost $20 per head in 2014 and 2015 after breaking even in 2012 and 2013. “Hog farms are eager to restock, but piglet supplies are in shortage following the reduction in the numbers of breeding sows,” said Xiong Kuan, an analyst with Beijing Orient Agri-business Consultant Co. Ltd. An outbreak of disease earlier this year also reduced pig supplies, he said. Prices for a 30 kilogram piglet have more than doubled from a year ago to a record $200 per tonne, which is deterring farmers from aggressive restocking, said Pan Chenjun, a livestock analyst with Rabobank in Hong Kong.

U.S.- CANADA COLLABORATION

WESTEEL PLANT

Project aims to tap plant protein for value-added, health benefits

AGI to boost steel bin output

Plant protein-based food would provide new markets for growers BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The name of the initiative is catchy, and the idea seems to be catching on. It’s called the protein highway, and it involves governments, universities and businesses in the three prairie provinces and six U.S. states that are collaborating to develop plant protein innovation. “The concept is to gather a team, a bilateral team … to work together to develop agricultural technologies that enhance our competitive position going into the future for protein production,” said Kevin Kephart of South Dakota State University’s research and economic development department. “Protein resources would be things like pulse crops. That’s what comes to mind first, but also taking better advantage of proteins that are in canola meal, soybean meal, dried distillers grains out of corn ethanol facilities. That offers a big opportunity on protein as well. Those are just some examples of what we have in mind.” Kephart said the initiative developed after Canadian Governor General David Johnston met with university, government and industry personnel in Minnesota last April. Johnston encouraged development of bilateral projects that could benefit people and economies on both sides of the border. Kephart said several topics were discussed, and “this is the one that emerged as having, in the opinion of those that participated, the most strength.” David Gauthier of the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority and Larry Sernyk, a scientist who has worked for Dow AgroSciences and Mycogen Corp. in Indiana, wrote a report on the project, which was published in February. The report provides background on the potential for greater plant protein development and focuses on plants rather than animals for the following reasons: • unrealized economic value from producing high value edible protein products from soybean, canola, peas, lentils, flax and edible dry beans already produced in the region • opportunities for protein production from other oilseed crops such as sunflower and safflower and minor crops such as buckwheat, hemp, camelina, chia and quinoa • opportunities from high value edible proteins that are byproducts of corn ethanol facilities and barley brewery solids • potential for meat replacements made from plant protein products and ingredients • another way to help feed the growing world population in a potentially more sustainable way • provide a more economical solution to providing protein for human consumption than passing protein through an animal • evidence that plant proteins can

contain healthy amino acid components with beneficial health effects • reduced saturated fat intake when animal protein consumption is lowered The report identified the Prairies, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa as having sophisticated onfarm knowledge, multinational food processors, many research institutions and robust infrastructure.

Those attributes make them well placed to encourage development of plant protein-based foods and ingredients, it said. Additionally, the report listed companies that now produce meat-like products from pulses and legumes. Kephart said those involved in the protein highway are still developing their mission and vision and must set up a funding strategy before proceeding. barb.glen@producer.com

The Ag Growth International plant in Nobleford, Alta., is converting some of its production facility space to make Westeel smooth-walled bins. An AGI news release said the change would increase the company’s previous smooth-wall product line while introducing a new one. AGI previously made Westeel smooth-wall bins only at its plant in Saskatoon. The Nobleford plant has 186,000 sq. feet of manufacturing and office space. AGI president Tim Close said the conversion will expand the company’s geographic reach to service buyers and users of its bins. “Recent and pending acquisi-

tions provide AGI with the ability to develop fertilizer infrastructure in Western Canada, increasing the urgency to introduce a full commercial smooth-wall product line as we move to supply material handling and storage solutions for customers in the fertilizer sector,” Close said in the release. The manufacture of galvanized bins now occurring in Nobleford will be moved to the Westeel facility in Winnipeg. AGI announced earlier this month that it would acquire NuVision Industries Inc., a designer, manufacturer and installer of fertilizer blending and handling facilities. NuVision is based in Carseland, Alta., south of Calgary.

LAND DEVELOPMENT

Proposed mine concerns Sask. landowners Landowners worry about farmland ownership approval, environmental concerns and possible effects on land prices BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A proposed potash mine north of Regina has landowners and water users questioning whether the mine is in the best interests of the province and the local economy. Yancoal Canada, a subsidiary of Yanzhou Coal Mining Co. from China, proposes to build a solution mine near Southey, Sask. The Saskatchewan Farm Land Security Board has granted the company a farmland ownership exemption to acquire 60,000 acres of land in an area near Southey and Earl Grey, Sask. It has conditional agreements in place to buy 5,500 acres and has made lease or purchase offers to other landowners in the area, including some who are critical of the province’s role in facilitating the project. Robin Kusch, a Yancoal spokesperson, said the company is willing to negotiate leases, which would allow Yancoal to establish and access well heads while allowing local landowners to continue farming in undisturbed areas. “We have no intention of buying the entire well field area,” Kusch said. “We’re going to pursue leasing wherever we can, and that’s in response to the fact that a lot of p e o p l e i n t h e p rov i n c e hav e expressed concerns about industrial companies coming in and buying up a bunch of agricultural land.” About 3,200 of the 5,500 acres for which the company has already negotiated purchase agreements would accommodate the mine’s core facilities, including administrative buildings, a mill, load-out facilities, parking lots, salt waste piles and tailing ponds. Yancoal has also discussed water use requirements with the province’s Water Security Agency. The company has received an assurance that SaskWater could supply close to 40,000 million litres of water per day, the approximate amount that the project would need during the early stages of production. The water would be piped from the Buffalo Pound Reservoir, nearly 100 kilometres away. Environmental approvals are still required, but the company expects to negotiate a long-term water supply agreement with SaskWater if the project is approved. Kusch said the project would create hundreds of permanent jobs once the mine is fully operational, potentially in four to five years. Ministerial approvals could be in place by July, depending on how the public review process goes, which would clear the way for the first phases of construction by mid 2017. If all goes as planned, the mine could be operational by late 2020 or early 2021, Kusch added. The $3.6 billion project has many regulatory hurdles to clear, but local residents say the approval process needs to be slowed down. Neil Wagner, a local businessperson who grew up near the proposed mine site, said too many unanswered question surround

the development. “We see this project as an opportunity that could help the economy and create a lot of jobs,” said Wagner, who is part of a local committee set up to learn more about the project. “But the big push to get things through so fast is what concerns us. What we want is some real study to be done.” In addition to the potential impact on local land prices, residents also want scrutiny of the project’s environmental consequences, including leaching from salt piles and tailing ponds, the effect of wind-borne salts on near-

by farmland and waterways and the health of the Hatfield aquifer, an important underground water source. Solution mining involves injecting a heated brine into belowground potash reserves. The brine solution is then extracted and processed to separate the water from the potash. Local residents say it is unclear whether the long-term health of the aquifer will be jeopardized. The province’s environmental assessment review board has already reviewed Yancoal’s environmental impact assessment and deemed it technically sound.

The 30-day public comment period that allows local stakeholders to voice their concerns can be extended to 60 days if an extension is requested and approved. Rick Swenson, leader of Saskatchewan’s Progressive Conservative party, agrees that the projected timelines for approval of the project are tight. Swenson, a former provincial cabinet minister who served as the province’s energy minister in the late 1980s, said the tentative water supply agreement is an exclusive deal that would not allow other users to draw water from the proposed pipeline.

He also questions why the province approved a 60,000 acre ownership exemption when the mine’s proponents say they have no intention of buying that much land. He said more questions need to be asked about the potential impact on local water sources, municipal and provincial infrastructure and existing potash companies that have been exporting product to China. “I’m certainly not against mining potash … but when you do these things, you’ve got to do them right,” Swenson said. brian.cross@producer.com

APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

Lethbridge college, Agco partner to offer equipment, factory training LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Agco has partnered with Lethbridge College to provide training aids for students and factory training for instructors in the college’s agriculture and heavy equipment apprenticeship program. The Agco Advantage Partnership is a non-exclusive agreement that was initially signed in January

but announced March 22. The farm equipment company has similar programs at eight U.S. colleges, but this is the first one in Canada. A college news release said the idea for a partnership was raised by Hanlon Ag Centre, an Agco dealership in Lethbridge, which has a long association with the college.

Agco involvement will include provision of components to train agricultural mechanics on the latest farm equipment. As well, instructors will be able to participate in factory training just as dealership technicians do. “Because Agco equipment is embedded into the curriculum, the college becomes an ideal spot for

dealers from across Western Canada to send their employees and apprentices for training,” the release said. “Hanlon Ag Centre is the first company to sign an agreement with the college for dealer training.” Lethbridge College President Paula Burns said the partner-

ship will allow the institution to provide more openings for stud e nt s i n t h e a p p re nt i c e s h i p program. Separate from the agreement, the college is now hosting Agco technician dealer training at its new trades facility on campus. More than 20 technicians will take part in the next two months.

25 YEARS AGO

Dangerous rust strain threatened barley crop FROM THE ARCHIVES

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

75 YEARS AGO: APRIL 10, 1941 The Saskatchewan government began the process of putting Saskatchewan Co-operative Creameries into the hands of farmers. The plan was for the co-op to be 100 percent controlled by producers within 10 years. The first step was to increase the size of the board to allow for the addition of cream, milk, poultry and egg producers. The federal government defended its policy of increasing feedgrain production at the expense of wheat by announcing that Great Britain planned to buy an additional 28 million pounds of ham and bacon from Canada. The policy had come under heavy fire in Western Canada. A.H. Bence, a

Conservative MP from Saskatoon, said paying bonuses to reduce wheat production would benefit poor farmers and do nothing for farmers who scientifically regulated the cultivation of their land and operated according to market conditions.

50 YEARS AGO: APRIL 7, 1966 After months of controversy over low grain shipments to Vancouver, the port shipped more than 25 million bushels in March, which was three million more than the previous record. The improved performance was attributed to railways, elevators and shippers working together to clear a backlog of orders that had kept six to eight ships at anchor at any one time waiting to be loaded. Only two ships lay at anchor as of April 1. Manitoba Farmers’ Union president Herb Andresen said a new policy that would force cream shippers to ship whole milk instead of cream would hurt the thousands of cream producers who relied on cream cheques for their livelihoods. The policy was intended to allow processors to take over the complete production of butter.

25 YEARS AGO: APRIL 11, 1991 A dangerous strain of stem rust

Paul McLoughlin, who was The Western Producer’s Edmonton reporter for much of the 1980s, found himself in the hot seat, presumably while on assignment, in this undated photo. | FILE PHOTO called QCC was drifting north from Kansas and threatening prairie barley. Only one of the 62 varieties of barley grown on the Prairies and northern United States were resistant to the strain. Agriculture Canada scientist Mario Therrien said the Canadian barley crop, particularly on the eastern Prairies, was facing its worst threat of rust epidemic since 1948. “There wasn’t much beer made in 1948,” Therrien said. Alberta Wheat Pool bought Byers Flour Mills in Camrose. The mill, which made flour, pancake mix and Sunny Boy Cereal, was to be renamed Prairie Sun Grains and

Western Economic Diversification Canada stopped funding the Farmer Rail Car Coalition’s efforts to buy the federal grain car fleet, which coalition president Sinclair Harrison interpreted as a sign that the new federal Conservative government planned to withdraw its support for the venture. The government denied that there was a political message in the decision.

tion of Canada drew the ire of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association when it wrote a letter to agriculture minister Chuck Strahl that, among other things, expressed support for keeping the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk powers. “A lot of our members were unhappy about the letter and unhappy about the lack of consultation between the terminals and their customers, farmers and shareholders,” said WCWGA president Cherilyn Jolly-Nagel. It was an early salvo in the final battle over the fate of the wheat board.

Solar vs. wind: A tough call The internet does not have all the pieces to this perplexing renewable energy puzzle BY RON LYSENG

DOES SOLAR WIN? Energy Matters of Australia sells solar and wind generation equipment. It says solar is best for most residential and rural sites, for the following reasons:

» no moving parts » better reliability and generally longer warranty » requires less monitoring » more predictable energy output » better value on sites with average wind speeds less than five metres per second

» totally silent » quicker installation with less cable required » less susceptible to lightning damage » less susceptible to wind damage » requires less space because panels can be installed on a roof

armers who look on the internet for an easy solution to the question, which is better, solar or wind generation, will not find it. Natural Resources Canada has a good solar potential map with bright colours and useful measurements. It’s considered to be a good source of solar information. Unfortunately, there’s no comparable map for wind potential. Canadian Geographic has a pastel coloured wind map but no numbers to quantify potential. The sliding scale that runs from lowest to highest is useful, but only for determining if you’re in an adequate area for wind generation. The colourful wind map produced by Environment Canada would have been helpful if it had used the same units of measurement as did the Natural Resources solar map. There are basic problems when using any map that compares solar to wind in a particular region. For one thing, wind data must be gathered at the same height at

which the turbine will eventually be installed. The return on investment will be wrong if data is collected from a lightweight anemometer mounted on a 100 foot tower but the plan is to install the heavier turbine on a 70 foot tower. As well, the area with the best wind potential may be only a few square miles or even just a few acres, but that optimal spot may not be convenient for the farmer. Eric Bibeau, renewable energy professor at the University of Manitoba, said it’s easier to conduct map analysis when locating solar sites because good solar areas shown on the maps are large. However, wind potential is geo-centric, which is why wind maps are vague and onsite analysis must be stringent.

“The optimum site might be the size of a small town,” said Bibeau. He said the data that farmers need to make rough solar-wind comparisons exist, but it’s not publicly accessible. “At what point is solar and wind going to tip? What’s the grid parity in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta? You won’t find it because the utilities calculate it and they keep it to themselves.” Bibeau said farmers who are trying to decide which resource to tap should keep in mind that prices for equipment to harvest solar and wind are in flux. Most notable is the dramatic increase last spring in the price of solar panels after years of downward price movement. “We went through a huge price decrease in solar panels, and then

our good folks in the federal government decided to put an embargo on Chinese panels. They (Chinese) make 70 percent of the panels worldwide, he said. “There are four companies (making solar panels) in Ontario that are subsidized by the Ontario government. And they get subsidized by the federal government. “They got caught by the Germans and the Danish for not following the trade agreements. They (Germans and Danes) retaliated. And then Ontario basically said, ‘now all you guys in the Prairies pay for the fact that we got caught subsidizing. And now you will pay more for your solar panels.’ ” Bibeau was blunt when asked why the federal government would pay lip service to renewable energy and then impose high tariffs on low cost Pacific Rim solar panels. “Being big on renewables and actually doing it are two different things. All you need to do is be in front of a parade and say you’re big on renewables.” For more information, contact Bibeauateric.bibeau@umanitoba.ca. ron.lyseng@producer.com

Predict power potential before purchase

The business side of ‘blowing in the wind’

Buying solar or wind generation equipment is no different than buying any other farm implement; the return on investment must be right

Knock down one big financial obstacle to on-farm wind power BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The equipment needed to harvest solar and wind energy might cost as much as a new combine, so farmers’ research better be good. The conventional wisdom in the renewable energy industry is that a potential on-site generation system requires at least one full year of good data before making a decision. In fact, most lending institutions require at least one year of data before they will finance an equipment purchase. It’s not enough to say, “oh, it’s always windy here,” or “it’s always sunny here,” said Michael Clarke of Campbell Scientific in Edmonton. “You need hard data. We call it prospecting,” said Clarke. Campbell Scientific is one of the few retail outlets on the Prairies that handles instrumentation to document wind and solar potential. Some devices that measure wind and solar energy cost as little as $300, but they’re not always accurate, said Eric Bibeau, a professor of renewable energy at the University of Manitoba. He said monitoring instruments aren’t only for gathering data before buying equipment. They will also become a necessary part of the overall system for tuning and maintaining the power generation system. No ongoing data collection means the system operator has no way to know if the equipment is running below specification or if it requires warranty attention. The purchase of a power generation system is an important business decision. Unlike a combine, which might be traded after only two or three harvest seasons, a power generation station is a purchase that farmers will live with every day for more than 20 years. As a result, the science supporting the decision must be right. Clarke said a pyranometer is the industry standard for measuring solar potential. It measures total available solar irradiance in a 180 degree arc. “This tells you how much energy is coming from the sun at your specific site,” Clark said. “The industry standard energy units are watts per metre squared. Once you’ve measured your total incoming irradiance, you can determine exactly how efficient your solar panels will be. “For wind turbines, the ane-

KEEP CALM AND CHECK THE WIND Renewable energy consultants often hear, “oh, this is a good spot for a wind turbine because it’s always windy.” However, “always windy” is not a quantifiable scientific unit. Even if you’re located in a zone with high wind potential, experts say you should gather at least one year of hard data before considering a turbine purchase.

mometer takes readings in metres per second or kilometres per hour. If you want to do a power generation calculation, simply take your output from the anemometer and multiply by whatever factor for the power generation you want, such as watts per hour. “For five or six thousand dollars, we can do a station that will measure and log those two parameters. If a farmer is looking to prospect for total renewable energy resources, he’ll need a self-supporting station with a pyranometer and an ane-

mometer. For that price, it’s all high quality equipment that meets industry requirements.” Clarke said farmers can buy data from companies such as his. Farmers may also be allowed to keep information from a data collection station that a utility company or consultant firm has set up on their land.

A new company that specializes in directing investment capital into long-term on-farm wind turbine leases may be the answer for farmers who lack the up-front money to buy or lease a turbine. United Wind is tapping into the growing market for electricity that is generated and used on site, said chief executive officer Russell Tencer. He said farmers must typically provide the up-front money when leasing a power generation system, which prevents many producers from exploiting what is sometimes called “free energy.” “In our business plan, farmers get a 100 percent lease. They pay nothing upfront,” said Tencer. The program is designed so customers can meet 50 to 100 percent of their electricity demands, he added. “We arrange project finance bonds to cover the cost of equipment, installation, insurance and on-going maintenance. The landowner commits to a 20-year contract to pay for electricity at a discount compared to what he currently pays to a utility. It saves the average farm over US$200,000 in electricity costs over the 20-year lease. “It’s more about reducing power that has to be purchased rather than selling back to the grid. For example, instead of paying $1,000 monthly for electricity, we’ll drop your utility bill to $100 per month. We set it up so your combination lease payment plus the reduced monthly utility bill is less than your previous monthly utility bill had been.” Tencer said there are two business models when it comes to renewable energy. The model with which most people are familiar is the commercial wind farm, which has 50 to 500 towers that are 300 to 400 feet tall. These are power plants designed to sell power to utilities at a wholesale rate. United Wind uses the other business model, which is to install only one or two towers at each site, ranging in height from 100 to 150 feet. He said the turbines are more along the line of small to mid-sized consumer scale units. The client can sell power to the grid, but that is not the intent and the model does not rely on that income. He said this model relies on reducing the amount of power bought from the utility. Tencer said his company will cover 20 years of maintenance at no additional cost to the farmer. “That’s why we only install equipment that we’re sure is high quality and reliable,” he said. “We own the equipment at the end of the 20 year lease.” Canadian prairie farmers can expect to see United Wind turbines going up this year. Tencer said he spends a lot of

time studying wind maps, and he thinks the best Canadian wind blows in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. There’s been a lot of interest from all those provinces, he added, and all Canadian transactions will be conducted in Canadian dollars. Start-up money comes from investors, but payback comes from lease payments. The turbine lease system closely parallels the solar panel lease program which has fuelled the rapid growth of solar power in the United States. However, federal and state incentives in the U.S. have helped make solar panel lease companies competitive with conventional sources of power generation. Electricity that is generated where it is used is becoming increasingly popular as all levels of government promote renewable energy and attempt to reduce dependence on the fossil fuel typically used in large scale power plants. The United Wind plan may resemble that of solar panel leasing schemes, but the parallel to solar power stops there. Tencer said wind power and solar power belong in two different parts of the map. “When it comes to your return on investment on solar versus wind, it really varies by location. Certain parts of North America have greater solar resources. Wind doesn’t compete well in sunny areas like California, Arizona or New Mexico,” he said. “But when you get up into the northern parts of the continent, the Great Plains and up into Canada, the wind resource by far outstrips the solar resource. Wind turbines generate electricity at a much lower cost than solar panels. In the northern parts of the continents around the world, wind is the more efficient resource.” The Distributed Wind Energy Association says one gigawatt of electricity was consumed where it was generated last year, but it expects to increase to 30 gigawatts by 2030. United Wind, which is based in New York City, recently obtained $200 million from Forum Equity Partners of Toronto. It is said to be the largest-ever single investment in small wind projects. The money will fund 1,000 new projects and allow the company to build upon the 26 test projects initiated since 2013. The fresh money allowed United Wind to open new offices in Denver and Kansas. The future Canadian office is expected to be in Regina.

The farming side of ‘blowing in the wind’ The wind blows anyway, so why not put it to work? BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Power bills of more than $3,000 a month prompted dairy producer Ed Doody and his brothers to harness some of that “free energy” blowing in off Lake Ontario. Located near Syracuse, New York, at the top of a hill 1,700 feet above sea level and only 65 kilometres south of Lake Ontario, the Doody dairy farm has seldom seen a truly

calm day since his parents established it 66 years ago. “The lake never freezes, so wind coming off the water has a positive impact because it moderates our temperatures,” Doody said. “And every time a (weather) front passes over the lake, it picks up a tremendous amount of wind energy.” The 440-cow dairy uses 200,000 kilowatts a year to run milking equipment, ventilation fans, lights and milk cooling equipment. These functions are absolutely necessary with no room to cut corners, so if you can’t reduce overall power use, the next best alternative

is to generate at least some of your own electricity. “We installed our first windmill in September 2012,” Doody said. “It’s an Endurance 50 kilowatt model E3120 turbine. We predicted it would provide about half the power we required. It’s exceeded that mark all three years we’ve had it. We purchased it outright.” Then in 2013 the brothers heard about United Wind, so they installed three 10 kW turbines, one for each house and all on United Wind lease program. Doody said the initiative has produced substantial savings. “At our homes, these little tur-

bines produce far more power than we can use,” he said. “I used to heat with a combination wood/oil furnace, but we have lots of extra power now, so I produce more than half of our home heat with our own electricity.” He said he doesn’t like selling power into the grid. “The utility pays us only four cents per kilowatt, but the retail price when we’re buying power from them is 15 to 16 cents per kilowatt. “So we sell very, very little into the grid. At the end of the year, I like to get my meter right down to the zero mark. The turbines have cut our

electric bill by more than half for the whole farm. “We decided the United Wind lease arrangement on those three small turbines was very attractive, primarily because they have full responsibility for maintenance. Around here it’s $1,000 a day every time you hire a tall crane, so that’s a really big load off our minds.” Doody said safety is the other big factor. If it’s a choice between having a farmer climb the tower or having a trained technician climb the tower, the steeple jack wins every time. ron.lyseng@producer.com

Producers want rabbit processor Alberta association waiting for licence BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Some farmers feel like they are in a Catch 22 when it comes to educating people about rabbit meat. The Alberta Rabbit Producers Association has a small processing facility in northern Alberta, but the meat is used for pet food rather than human consumption until the plant receives a provincial licence. “We have customers that really want to sell Alberta raised rabbit, but until we can get that slaughter facility sorted out, we have got a problem with access,” said Marion Popkin of the association. The Raw-Bitz plant processes 1,000 rabbits a month. Rabbits for human consumption can be processed at other provincially inspected establishments, but these abattoirs are busy and can fit in rabbits only when there is a break in their schedule. “Most of the rabbits in store now come either from China or Quebec,” Popkin said in an interview. China is the world’s number one rabbit producer and exporter. About 1.2 billion rabbits a year are processed globally. Farmers are interested in producing rabbits because they are prolific with seven pregnancies a year, but Popkin wants to make sure they are well treated and raised in proper facilities. That is leading to the first code of practice for commercial rabbit production in North America, she told the Alberta Farm Animal Care annual meeting in Olds March 23. “We strongly encourage that every rabbit that is bred has an exit point,” she said. “We don’t need any more animals, we don’t need to add to the welfare case load. These animals are easy to raise and it is easy to get out of control.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Poultry barn changes come with consequences Conventional egg-laying cages were developed partly to decrease the risk of diseases, but that may increase in more open housing BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Egg Farmers of Canada says it is meeting consumer demand for eggs from cage-free barns by phasing in changes to barn designs. However, those changes come with consequences. The organization announced in February its members hope to switch to larger, roomier cages, free run aviaries and free range systems for hens by 2036. But moving birds from cramped cages to larger facilities can lead to more injuries or deaths from smothering and diseases, University of Guelph researcher Alexandra Harlander told Alberta Farm Animal Care’s annual meeting in Olds March 23. “It may never be possible to provide an ideal system because increasing their opportunities for more natural freedom may unavoidably increase the risks of certain diseases or injuries.” Researchers are looking at the physical and psychological health of birds under various systems. Conventional cages were developed to increase productivity and decrease the risk of diseases. The consequences were that the birds had little freedom to move, and public pressure started to mount against what seemed like factory production conditions. Furnished and enriched cages offer more room, perches and scratching areas with fewer birds in a space. Non-cage systems may have thousands of birds in one henhouse. They have access to open space with nest boxes, perches water and food. Fifty percent of the eggs produced in the United Kingdom come from free range systems. They offer outdoor and indoor housing in which birds can roam outside, but protection is offered against the elements. Studies show death rates are generally higher in non-cage systems, but good management can reduce flock mortalities. “In all housing systems, there are problems with damaging be-haviour,” she said. The primary cause of death is feather pecking, which can lead to cannibalism. It occurs when one bird plucks the feathers from another and eats the feathers. One bird may start and the rest join in. A British study found that nearly 80 percent of birds suffered from feather pecking. “We assume it is a re-directing behaviour from food pecking, ground pecking or pecking during dust bathing. It is a multi-factoral problem,” she said. Stress and diet may contribute to the problem. Pullets need to adjust to low levels of disturbance, and workers might tr y wearing different coloured clothes, talking to them or walking with them. Fearful birds are more at risk to peck. High fibre diets reduce the risk of feather pecking because the birds spend more time eating rather pecking each other. Straw bales may help pullets find

other things to do, and access to outdoor areas is also beneficial. Feather pecking decreased after an experiment at the U of G added 10 percent chopped feathers to the diet. A range of weights within the flock seemed to increase pecking. Beak trimming of chicks is controversial and is banned in some countries. Trimming cuts living tissue, which causes acute and chronic pain, but the chickens peck less. “You don’t address the cause of feather pecking but instead address the symptoms,” she said.

In all housing systems, there are problems with damaging behaviour. ALEXANDRA HARLANDER UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH

Another problem confronting chickens is exposure to viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. Better vaccination can reduce viruses and parasites in pen housing systems, but there are more bacterial infections.

Birds in non-caged systems have problems with foot pad dermatitis. Up to 40 percent of the birds have sores on their feet, which impair their ability to walk. Keel bone injuries are a significant welfare problem in the laying industry. It is the equivalent to a breast bone in a bird. Caged birds may have weak bones, but factures of the breast bone are more prevalent in alternative systems. Birds in non-cage systems have access to perches, but 50 percent of them may have a fractured keel bone or other deviation.

Ongoing research is looking at improved ramps and perches for chickens to avoid injuries. It is an instinctive behaviour, in which hens roost at night for protection against predators. Smothering in open systems also occur when birds crowd together. It is unpredictable but seems to happen in the morning when birds cluster around nesting areas or feeders or crowd into corners. Separating the flock into smaller groups or blocking corners may help. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Modern beekeeping program offers Cypher Environment Ethiopian youth a sweeter future reaps benefits from NAIROBI, Kenya (Thomson Reuters Foundation) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Beekeeper Ayenalem Ketema is the proud owner of three hives, which have produced enough honey for the young Ethiopian to build a house equipped with solar panels and buy farm animals. Ketema, who lives in Jimma in southwestern Ethiopia, left school when she was 17 and has kept bees for four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have benefited a lot from using a modern beehive,â&#x20AC;? said the young farmer, now 22. She belongs to the Boter Boro Cooperative, whose members run 50 beehives between them. Ketema has used the profit from the 60 kilograms of honey she harvests each season to buy a dairy cow, three sheep and six goats and install a solar system in her home. Now she has bigger ambitions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I plan to open up a wholesale honey shop where I can sell highquality honey in large quantities in a bigger market,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ketema benefited from a project led by the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology, which launched a new program this month to provide work for 12,500 young Ethiopians in beekeeping and silkworm farming. The Nairobi-based program and the MasterCard Foundation plan to invest $10.35 million in the five-

year project, which will support out-of-school and unemployed young people between 18 and 24 with starter equipment and training. The Young Entrepreneurs in Silk and Honey initiative will involve an additional 25,000 people in the value chain, from harvesting to processing, packaging and marketing of the two sets of products.

Program will provide youth with start-up equipment and training Ethiopia is Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading honey and beeswax producer, but honey production is largely traditional and reaches only 10 percent of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential, experts say. The nation produces dozens of honey varieties that could be of interest for the export market, said ICIPE director general Segenet Kelemu, an Ethiopian who is a laureate of the Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrĂŠal-UNESCO For Women in Science award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project will help to ensure food security, promote more tree planting than tree cutting and encourage agro-forestry programs to flourish,â&#x20AC;? said Kelemu. Bees pollinate a wide range of crops and plants, playing a key role in the provision of food and nutri-

tion. They also pollinate forage plants, indirectly supporting milk and meat production. The amount of annual global food production that depends on pollinators is estimated at $235 to $577 billion, which means bees must be included in plans to feed the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing population, she said. Bees require flowering trees and vegetation from which they can secure high-quality pollen and nectar all year round. As a result, the young Ethiopian beekeepers will have to conserve trees and plant more of them while reducing the use of pesticides that harm bees, Kelemu said. Alemayehu Konde Koira with the MasterCard Foundation in Toronto said the modern hives that will be used in the Ethiopian project can produce 20 kg of high-quality organic honey a season, compared with traditional beehives that yield six to eight kg of low-quality honey. The MasterCard Foundation said the project would improve access to regional, national and international markets for young entrepreneurs. They will also be offered financial services so they can expand their businesses. Centres will be set up to provide training so entrepreneurs can process and market their honey, beeswax, royal jelly and bee venom.

Centrallia trade event

Jim Bentein Special to The Western Producer

Anyone who has driven on a rural road or worked in areas where oil, mining, forestry or other development is occurring knows that dealing with dust and unstable soils can be an annoying and costly task. Winnipeg-based Cypher Environmental Ltd., run by 34-year-old entrepreneur Todd Burns, has developed an eco-friendly way to dramatically reduce that dust and stabilize soils. The company has also developed a technology that uses bacteria and enzymes for wastewater remediation, potentially a multi-milliondollar market. Cypherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Driven by Innovation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Partners in Performanceâ&#x20AC;?, captures the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raison dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;etre. Burns was a 2001 graduate of Winnipegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red River College when he saw the potential of a dust-supression technology his late father had developed. He had also later studied environmental science at the University of Manitoba. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (dust-suppression) technology business operated out of my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to have the product made in China and were practising absentee management. I brought the control of the manufacture of the product to Winnipeg, which allowed us to focus on our products.â&#x20AC;? And the rest is history. Since then the company continues to expand and extend its expertise in the areas of dustsuppression, road-stabilization and water-treatment products. All of its products are 100 percent environmentally friendly and are organic, biodegradable and non-toxic. One of its initial core products, Dust Stop, is benefitting from a $65,000 federal Applied Research and Development grant, aimed at enhancing its value proposition. Its other products, EarthZyme and UltraZyme have also benefitted from large investments in research and development. Dust Stop, one of the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy products, can bring with it not only significant environmental benefits but major cost savings, a characteristic of all of Cypherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products. Burns has little problem describing the benefits of the product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a mining site, for example, you see five large water trucks, having to constantly spray water on access roads throughout the day,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that this often involves the spraying of millions of litres of water daily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can imagine the GHGs (greenhouse gases) being generated by those trucks, as well as the amount of fuel the trucks burn. But Dust Stop only needs to be reapplied every six months to a year. The cost savings are huge because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not having to do that amount of regular road maintenance.â&#x20AC;? In addition, GHG emissions and other environmental benefits are

significant. This is even more the case because road crews often use calcium chloride and magnesium chloride to prevent dust, which are highly caustic and corrosive. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an obvious time savings as well, with traffic to the site not being disrupted so often. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rain is often a problem with unpaved roads (with conventional watering techniques),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With our product, that is not a problem.â&#x20AC;? Dust Stop, which is in use worldwide, has been proven through its use by municipal governments, miners and other resource producers. EarthZyme, another of the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widely used products, is ideal for the clay-based soils. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a non-toxic, enzyme-based soil stabilizer, used extensively in remote locations like mining sites. With one application, EarthZyme can help significantly reduce road maintenance costs by increasing the roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compaction and strength. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideal for areas with extreme climates. In many cases, EarthZyme and Dust Stop are both used on a work site. Cypher customer Syncrude Canada Ltd. applied EarthZyme on mine haul roads at its oilsands plant site in northern Alberta. A follow-up study found that rolling resistance, a common problem on roads used by large trucks, was reduced dramatically and fuel costs were reduced by as much as 90 percent. Cypherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest product, UltraZyme is an environmentally friendly product used for effluent treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;UltraZyme is based on a mixture of bacteria and enzymes to treat wastewater,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have used the product at a banana plantation for a customer in Costa Rica and they were able to recycle 80 per cent of the water they were using (to clean the fruit), which led to significant cost savings.â&#x20AC;? In lagoons or wastewater treatment plants UltraZyme works by speeding up the digestion of organics. Burns said the company is working with researchers at the University of Alberta to test its effectiveness in remediating oilsands tailings. Burns credits World Trade Centre Winnipeg and, in particular, the Centrallia event, which attracts entrepreneurs and trade officials from more than 30 countries to the city, with helping his firm market internationally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really excited about Centrallia because we do so many international sales,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a big help to us.â&#x20AC;? Centrallia is planned for May 2527 at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg. Billed as the equivalent of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;speed-dating opportunityâ&#x20AC;? for small and mid-sized businesses, Burns said it gives his company a chance to meet one-on-one with businesspeople from throughout the world. The Western Producer is a sponsor of this event through its parent company, Glacier FarmMedia.

FARM SAFETY

COMMUNICATION

Farm safety coalition formed BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BROOKS, Alta. — The people who will consult on Alberta’s new farm safety policies have been selected, and the 72-member list has been submitted for cabinet approval. That much is known by members of the AgCoalition, a group representing 30 farm, livestock and commodity groups to deal with the controversial Bill 6, or the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act. However, they don’t yet know who is on the list. The coalition is hoping many of its members will sit on the advisory committees when the NDP g ov e r n m e n t h a m m e r s o u t details on how the diverse agricultural industry will comply with the new legislation. Coalition co-chair Kent Erickson said March 22 that the group hasn’t asked that a specific number of coalition members be selected. It put forward more than 60 names of farmers, ranchers and farm group representatives as potential candidates. “Understanding this government, there’s going to be a level of labour representatives there. There’s going to be some technical expertise from outside,” he said. “I guess that’s my challenge with the whole process. When over 80 to 90 percent of this is going to be affecting the primary producers, owner operators and employees, they should be vastly represented on these tables, and the rest should be there on a smaller level.” The government’s introduction of Bill 6 sparked farmer outrage last fall when legislation was tabled without what they considered adequate consultation with the agricultural sector. Despite widespread criticism, coupled with farmer rallies and protests, the bill passed in December. Earlier this year, the government announced plans for a consultation process and issued

nomination packages as it determined who would participate. Erickson said the process will involve six committees of 12 members each, which will discuss employment standards, labour relations, occupational health and safety, technical rules, education and training, and unique considerations. The ag coalition does not favour this approach, said Erickson. It shared that opinion with Agriculture Minister Oneill Carlier, but its suggestion for a different approach was not heeded. Erickson said coalition members tested the six committee arrangement at a January meeting and found there is a lot of overlap between the six topics. Erickson said the government has delayed the consultation process but hasn’t given its reasons for doing so. However, on March 24 the government announced a formal review of the province’s Workers’ Compensation Board system. Mandatory WCB coverage for all non-family paid farm employees is part of Bill 6. Erickson said the challenges of farming make timing of consultations difficult. Calving is under way now, seeding will begin within weeks in southern Alberta and progress north from there, and after that will come pressures from spraying, summer family plans and harvest. In the meantime, the coalition has set up its own governance structure with Erickson and Page Stuart as co-chairs and several committees formed to deal with strategy, regulatory consultation, technical issues and communication. Erickson said he is hopeful that the official consultation will culminate in recommendations that will mesh with the coalition’s recommendations. “A perfect outcome for me is that we would have a parallel process alongside the government,” he said. barb.glen@producer.com

Many urban residents take high speed internet service for granted, but large regions of rural Alberta still cope with connections that are unreliable and frustrating. CCI Wireless of Calgary is working to change that. Rural groups banded together in 2009 to create CCI and now provide more than 110,000 rural homes and businesses as well as 7,000 First Nation households with internet service. The company’s 17 shareholders include a rural electrification association, 14 natural gas co-operatives and two rural municipalities, which formed a board and found financing for the venture. Jim Cooper, who farms west of Medicine Hat and is a member of the Forty Mile Gas Cooperative in southeastern Alberta, was among the original organizers pushing for better internet reception. The gas co-op wanted to improve gas metre reading and needed a reliable internet service. The coop’s 1,900 members were surveyed to see if they also needed and wanted better internet service. “It was an overwhelming and positive response for those who responded,” Cooper said. He said large companies are not interested in serving sparsely populated areas with challenging geography. “Telus dial-up was the only thing available,” he said. “Before that, you could get a satellite (service).” The province has established a supernet service providing internet to all government buildings, but individual households did not have equal access. “We as farmers do a lot of business online. It is critical,” he said. The shareholders managed to raise $45 million through private investment, government grants and debt. The business turned a profit by the end of November 2013. Monthly fees from subscribers cover costs, and government grants help the business expand.

CALGARY BUREAU

Profits are re-invested to keep pace with changing technology. “As shareholders, we wanted to make sure we had the best technology as well as the best infrastructure for the system because we are here for a long time,” Cooper said. Chief executive officer Amir Bigloo said the venture continued to face skepticism even after construction on towers began. “This is a very capital intensive business, and every tower that you put up costs around $250,000,” Bigloo said. “We have about 200 sites, and if you do the math, it becomes very capital intensive.” The intention is to grow, but only if it is affordable. The recent federal budget announced $500 million over the next five years for improved rural internet service, but the details are not finalized. The company has grown into Canada’s second largest rural internet provider, next to Xplornet. It has 100 employees. Half of them work in a new office in Calgary and the rest are based in rural Alberta communities from LaCrete in the far north to Milk River in the south. The company offers a call centre for sales, marketing and customer care, but running a grassroots company has taught executives such as Bigloo a bit about rural culture. “Sometimes when the network doesn’t work, I get the call myself,” he said. “If we don’t deliver, we get direct calls. They want what they are getting in urban centres,” he said. The system is working well, and there are expansion plans into southern Ontario. The company has also had enquires from other jurisdictions such as Nigeria and Dominican Republic, but Bigloo said the mandate is to serve Alberta first. CCI chair Ted Pound said the service can also be essential to rural development. “Businesses need that communication, and if they don’t have it they are not going to locate in rural Alberta,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Ont. electricity distributor addresses stray current issue Power company creates Farm Rapid Response Team to handle concerns BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

THAMESVILLE, Ont. — There are now two proposed solutions to on-farm, stray current concerns in Ontario. In February, the Ontario legislature passed second reading of a private member’s bill. It would set deadlines for electricity distributors in the province to investigate and resolve issues. And then on March 22, Hydro One announced plans to create the Farm Rapid Response Team to deal with issues among its 13,000 farm customers. “We’ve been in partnership with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This isn’t a knee-jerk reaction at all,” said Tiziana Baccega, senior media relations officer with Hydro One, which is the province’s largest electricity distributor. “Once the team goes live, there will be firm turnaround times published on our website and communicated to our customers with respect to call-backs, test scheduling and report findings submitted to the farmer.” Ontario Agriculture Minister Jeff

Leal has expressed support for both the legislated approach and Hydro One’s rapid response team announcement. The private member’s bill was introduced by Progressive Conservative MPP Rick Nicholls, who said all three parties in Ontario have had an opportunity to deal with the stray current issue over the past 40 years. A Hydro One news release said the rapid response team is a centralized approach to help identify, assess and mitigate on-farm electrical issues. Chatham-Kent dairy farmers Pat and Loretta Herbert remain skeptical. Hydro One conducted extensive tests on their farm Sept. 30 but had taken no action to correct the problem as of last week, Loretta Herbert said. “They haven’t done anything that I know of,” she said. “Before this all happened, we used to be able to keep our cows for 10 years. Now it’s just three or four years and they’re gone or they’re gone after they have their first calf.” Herbert said a stray current shield installed around their dairy barn at

their own expense last summer appears to have provided a partial solution. “The cows look a bit happier,” she said. “They don’t have as many problems. We don’t have as high as readings inside the barn anymore. We don’t get the vet out as much as we used to … (but) it’s not fixed and Pat isn’t happy.” Stray current expert Lorne Lantz with Lantz Control Systems was at the Herbert farm when Hydro One conducted its tests. He said significant voltage continued to play along the steel shield when the electricity supply was cut off to the farm that day. Stray current, which is also described as ground current, is often blamed on Ontario’s aging rural electricity infrastructure, although there are other causes. Dairy farmers in the province have been particularly affected because of the large size of their animals. A provincial agriculture ministry news release said dairy cattle symptoms include agitation, reluctance to feed or water, higher incidences of mastitis and reduced production.

LAWSUIT

ADM sues CPR over U.S. service disruption Company blames railway’s push to cut costs CHIC AG O, Ill. (Reuters) — Archer Daniels Midland is suing Canadian Pacific Railway over service disruptions in 2013 and 2014 at crop processing plants in North Dakota and Minnesota. ADM said the disruptions partly stemmed from cost cutting and CP’s pursuit of merger partners. It is seeking damages “resulting from one of the worst and most persistent railroad service failures experienced by ADM in many years.” The U.S. rail system has long served as the lone, dependable way to move grain thousands of miles in the northern U.S. Plains, where there are no commercially navigable rivers. In early 2014, farmers in the upper Midwest held the largest grain stocks in years after months of worsening delays that crippled the U.S. farm transportation system. The damages referred to by ADM in several counts in the lawsuit amount to only “several million dollars,” but it is potentially embarrassing for CP because it highlights key areas that the railroad has touted in its bid to buy Norfolk Southern Corp. CP disclosed in mid-November that it had made a $28 billion offer to buy Norfolk Southern, which has rebuffed the Canadian rail-

way’s approaches. CP has claimed a deal would result in cost savings of more than $1.8 billion a year. Some rail customers back the bid, but many, such as delivery companies UPS and FedEx, oppose it. Opponents say cost-cutting initiatives would cause service disruptions. The U.S. financial sector has cheered CP’s cost cuts as a success story since railroad legend Hunter Harrison became chief executive officer in 2012. However, ADM’s lawsuit claims that service disruptions at its facilities in Enderlin and Velva in North Dakota and Red Wing, Minn., are partly the result of CP “engaging in imprudent cost-cutting initiatives.” ADM also blamed the problems on CP’s “engaging in ancillary and diversionary management activities during the period pertaining to potential rail merger/acquisition partners.” CSX Corp. also rejected a takeover bid from CP in late 2014. The lawsuit alleges that CP did not allow ADM to use alternative rail providers “to mitigate its service deficiencies.” CP has promoted the idea of “open access” that would allow rail customers to use alternatives in similar situations.

Researchers use a triangulated laser scanner to document movement and storage of water in arid soils | BY RON LYSENG, WINNIPEG BUREAU

Laser beam focus on soil moisture

CIENTISTS AT the University of Kansas have started using a new tool to help understand how water moves, or doesn’t move, in the soil. Daniel Hirmas and his team of soil hydrologists are using a Multistripe Laser Triangulation (MLT) scanner to measure the size of pores in soil horizons. “We hand dig seven foot deep pits during the day so they’re ready for us to crawl into with our equipment once it’s dark enough to use the laser,” Hirmas said. “Actually, it’s my graduate students who do the digging.” It’s important to get a grasp on pore size in soil because doubling the size of the pore allows 16 times more water to flow. In turn, better knowledge of how water moves through soil will give farmers in arid regions a better understanding of how to manage their scarce water resources. The laser scanner lets his team examine five main factors: • better understanding of how plant nutrients are transported in the soil • accurate prediction of aquifer recharge rates in arid regions • more efficient use of water for crop and livestock production • better prediction of how dry areas will react to climate change • understand water runoff and sedimentation of surface water bodies Hirmas’s specific area of study is called water retention analysis, which is based on the fact that the size of pores in the soil determines how easily water moves through the soil. The degree of ease with which water moves through soil is called hydraulic conductivity. Water moves more easily through large empty spaces called macropores, which prompted the research team to concentrate on macroporosity. “A finer textured soil typically has more aggregation and larger pores,” he said. “The fine textured soils have a lot of clay and a lot of silt.” This makes the soil sticky so that it clumps together into aggregates, he added. Large spaces between the aggregates create large pores. Most water is held by the medium and small pores, which means there’s not much point working with them because there’s no way to affect them.

“There are more smaller pores, but they don’t contribute to the flow of water as much as the large pores,” he said. “They become saturated, but then the water just stays there. It takes forever for water to move because of the tightness of the grains. There’s so much friction, water has to follow a much more tortuous path.” Hirmas said “saturated hydraulic conductivity” refers to the condition of the soil when all the pores are filled with water, while “preferential water flow” means that a significant portion of the water will be transported through a small number of large pores. “It’s interesting that a small number of large pores control most of our soil hydrology,” he said. “It’s when water gets into these large pores that we get downward water movement.” An apt comparison is fracking in the oil industry. Drillers concentrate on shale, which is basically clay rock, because it has so much porosity compared to sandstone. It’s easier to extract oil out of shale in the Bakken formation than it is to get it out of sandstone in Alberta. “Coarse textured sandy soils are very permeable, and water moves through them very easily, but they don’t actually have a lot of pore space. All the pores are limited to the spaces between the large grains,” Hirmas said. “But fine textured soils have a lot of internal porosity. There’s a lot of pore space inside the aggregates and few pores between the aggregates. “There’s also a lot of porosity created when roots decompose or earthworms travel around. Those are new conduits that water will flow through, especially if that conduit reaches the surface.” Hirmas said the math of pore size is interesting. Firefighters, hydraulic engineers and geometry teachers know that a slight increase in the size of a pipe creates a major increase in the flow of liquid through the pipe. It’s necessary to first ground truth the MLT before using it in a specific soil type. Hirmas used water with a blue dye to saturate the soil on pit walls. Color photographs of the cutaway profile determine how much blue dye is concentrated in the large pores. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Armed with that information, he scanned the same cutaway with the MLT to see if it picked up the same large pores. A side by side comparison of the color photograph and the MLT image showed a high correlation between the two images. This meant that the tedious and timeconsuming blue dye method was no longer the only way to document pore size. The MLT does the same job in far less time, which allows Hirmas to study more soil profiles and his graduate students to dig more pits. “In order to get an accurate picture of the pores on the pit wall, we actually freeze the vertical wall surface and then peel off a thin layer so we’re sure the soil we scan isn’t disturbed,” he said. “We do all this at night because we don’t want ambient light from the sun to dry the wall or to give the laser false information. The MLT stays cooler and it’s easier to work with the frozen layer of soil when we work at night.” The MLT differs from other laser scanners because it emits a pair of parallel laser light stripes that are focused on the soil wall surface. The camera that receives the feedback is offset from the twin beams, which gives Hirmas the triangulation he needs to measure pores. “The camera watches the apparent deformation of the laser stripes and the distance between the stripes as they’re swept across the target surface,” he said. “The computer calculates the surface topography as the beams bounce back to the camera from the wall. “Some portion of those straight laser lines fall into the cracks and pores. They don’t bounce back to the camera. They disappear into the vacant spaces. The camera registers that as missing data. But missing data can be as useful as data bouncing back to the camera. “We take the digital gaps and use image analysis to quantify those cracks where the signal disappeared. Those gaps represent real pores in the soil. So with a triangulated laser scan, we document the number of pores and sizes of those pores relatively quickly compared to using dyed blue water.” For more information contact Hirmas at 785-864-5542. ron.lyseng@producer.com

INFORMATION GATHERING

Average yield numbers: useful or not? If a producer processes 40,000 items of data and finds only 800 are correct, is that information garbage? BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

CALGARY — Average yield numbers can give producers wrong information about what’s going on in their fields and lead to wrong management decisions. “Most farmers will look at the average grain yield and will try to push the envelope the next year by making some ad hoc adjustments to their management,” Colorado State University researcher Raj Khosla told the Tactical Farming Conference in Calgary earlier this winter. “GIS analysis has shown that a 100-acre field with 40,000 pixels will often have fewer than two percent of the pixels that match the numerical average yield of the field,” Khosla said. The old computer adage about ga r b a g e i n - ga r b a g e o u t a l s o applies to field management, he added. “Even if we increase the standard deviation 15 bushels plus or minus, up and down both directions, we would still have only one third of the pixels matching the average grain yield number for the whole field. That tells us these average yield numbers are garbage. “Today we have the technology to quantify the variability on your fields. We should quit managing according to average yield and focus on the variability and the

limiting factors causing that variability.” He said most producers and agronomists focus solely on average yields because that’s where the m o n e y i s f o u n d . How e v e r, i t doesn’t encourage them to look for the hidden factors inhibiting better yields within each pixel. “For example, if soil texture is limiting your yield in a certain area of the field, adding more nitrogen won’t help that area,” he said. “If soil texture is allowing your nitrogen to flush 10 feet down into the earth, then adding nitrogen is of no consequence.”

Khosla said the answer in many cases is to either take those areas out of grain production and put them into forages or spoon feed the crop with in-crop additions of nitrogen throughout the growing season. “You’ll have to go on that ground multiple times, feeding the crop a few pounds at a time, drop by drop, but you have to know whether or not it’s economically viable.” For more information, contact Khosla at raj.khosla@colostate. edu.

Deere and Co. has bought a majority stake in Hagie, a family– owned sprayer manufacturer. “It is a good time for expansion for many companies in agriculture,” said Barry Nelson of John Deere. Deere has large sprayers, but the Hagie lineup includes the tall machines that are useful in lateseason liquid application of nutrients to corn crops as well as midseason inter-row seeding and fertilizer application. This meets market demand for the popular cover crop trend. “It’s an addition to our lineup, filling in (a gap),” Nelson said. Hagie has had a unique distribution model for short-line operators by handling most of its sales itself without having an expansive dealer network. That will change with the Deere ownership as Hagie equipment is added to the dealers’ lines globally for both sales and service. Hagie chief executive officer Alan Hagie said the Deere distribution system is critical to reaching the increased customers that it will need for future growth.

CROP DISEASE

Lack of disease resistance information hinders control PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR, PAg

ustralian farmers have carried out an ongoing struggle against blackleg. Genetic resistance hadn’t been keeping up to the onslaught of virulent pathogen types by the early 1990s, but then a new source of resistance was incorporated into

canola from a wild relative, brassica rapa subsp sylvestris. The sylvestris resistance, which provided what looked like an almost complete immunity to blackleg, was incorporated into a variety and introduced as Surpass 400 in 1999. Surpass 400 was the dominant variety grown in Australia by 2001, but the resistant gene had totally collapsed two years later and crops were devastated in the Eyre Peninsula region of South Australia. This tale illustrates what can happen when we rely on single gene resistance to overcome a pathogen. Sadly, it is not isolated. France had a similar experience

There are 15 hybrids, by my count, that now claim resistance to clubroot, and from what I have been able to determine, 14 of them carry the same resistance mechanism derived from the European variety Mendel. This leaves us with the following best management practices for controlling the spread of clubroot: • canola rotations with more than a two-year break • avoiding fields that are known to have high clubroot inoculum • avoiding fields that are not scout-

ed for clubroot regularly • planting canola hybrids that have the same resistance mechanisms in that rotation • control canola volunteers and other clubroot susceptible weeds that may increase the pathogen in the non-canola years • avoiding tillage that is more than zero till • avoiding operations that limit soil movement between fields and keeping soil in the field where it belongs • cleaning soil and mud from equipment before moving to a new field • practising proper bio-sanitary procedures when moving between fields For years, we have promoted the use of rotation when it comes to herbicide groups and weed resistance. It has proven to be effective in delaying the onset of herbicide resistant weeds. The industry provides us with helpful tools such as listing herbicide groups on the label. These groups are based on modes of action. Farmers and agronomists are able to use this information to build a plan that uses a mixture of groups. These tools are also available for fungicides and insecticides. Farmers should strive to rotate pesticide modes of action as well as resistance genes in the crop to improve sustainability and reduce production risk. Why then, are there not tools like this that would show the basis of resistance for blackleg and clubroot? Industr y experts say simple screening tools are available that can determine what races of blackleg to which varieties and hybrids are resistant. I have also been told that seed companies are reluctant to publish this information because it is complicated and “proprietary knowledge.” We know that more than 60 percent of current hybrids carry the same Rlm3 gene for blackleg resistance, which sets us up for a repeat of the disasters experienced by the canola-oilseed rapes growing areas of Australia and France. Ironically, many of the seed companies that are resisting the release of this disease resistance information are the same ones who vehemently preach the virtues of rotating herbicides, especially if they have an alternative product. A tool like this would be a great benefit to farmers and agronomists who want to use rotation effectively as a best management practice. The same principle could also be applied to clubroot resistance. The next time you are talking to canola seed company representatives, ask them why information about the nature of the resistance in their canola hybrids is not readily available for your planning and implore them to pass this request up the chain. When a company does divulge this deep dark secret, show your gratitude by supporting them. You can change the industry. Thom Weir is an agronomist with Farmer’s Edge.

Canada will be the first country that can genuinely say we are producing some beef in a sustainable manner. We have proved to the world we have done this.” The video may be seen at www. youtube.com/watch?v=hDQYS i5giM8.

Scientists have proven that today’s Canadian cattle herd produces less greenhouse gas than it did in 1981. Agriculture Canada research scientist Tim McAllister, an expert in rumen microbiology, feed and nutrition, said the reduction is a result of improved animal performance and better feed, among other factors. He and a research team estimated greenhouse gas emissions from Canadian beef cattle and compared 2011 with 1981 in terms of those emissions. “To produce the same quantity of beef in Canada today as it took 30 years ago, it takes 27 percent fewer slaughter cattle to produce that same amount of beef and 29 percent fewer cattle are required in the breeding herd, so we can produce more meat from fewer cows,” McAllister told a beef supplements meeting in March. “It required 24 percent less land to produce that same amount of meat … and the overall carbon footprint was about 15 percent smaller today than it was in 1981.” Methane, considered the most harmful greenhouse gas, is produced primarily from cattle forage diets. McAllister said his team’s research shows 80 percent of Canadian cattle production is founded in forages. “If we’re going to mitigate methane, that’s the area that we’re going to have the greatest impact in, but it’s also the area that’s the most challenging in terms of developing mitigation strategies,” he said. Improving forage quality and selecting and managing animals for improved production and reproduction are potential ways to do that. McAllister said scientists’ next steps to improve beef production’s greenhouse gas record involves exploring water use and air quality and gauging the biodiversity protection it offers in terms of grassland preservation. “Many of Canada’s most identified species at risk inhabit native grasslands. And of course, ruminants turn inedible forages into high quality protein,” he said. “Beef producers obviously manage vast tracts of land where they protect the marginal lands from tillage and erosion. Tilling up the grasslands results in massive emissions of carbon.”

GLOBAL ROUND TABLE ON SUSTAINABLE BEEF PRODUCTION

Tops in beef sustainability Canada leads the way in the search for more sustainable ways to produce beef BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — Canada is a star on the world stage when it comes to sustainability on the ranch, says Dennis Laycraft, the new chair of the Global Round Table on Sustainable Beef Production. “I am pretty proud of the progress we have made in Canada,” he said at the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting last month. Research has shown that the Canadian beef industry is leaving a small carbon hoof print. A recent study from Agriculture Canada and the University of Manitoba measured changes in greenhouse gas emissions of Canadian beef production from 1981-2011 and found a 15 percent improvement in 30 years. The researchers also found that the industry was responsible for 3.6 percent of the country’s total emissions. Most greenhouse gas emissions come from manure, burning fuel to grow feed and methane produced during digestion of forages. Seventy-three percent of enteric methane comes from cow-calf

operations, and Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec are the top four methane emitters. It is a good news story, but the global roundtable does not want countries to compete with each other over which one is the most sustainable. Instead, each region’s efforts need to be respected.

I think there is an opportunity to remain a leader without adding that extra burden on producers. DENNIS LAYCRAFT GLOBAL ROUND TABLE CHAIR

“We want to use the right regional conditions to measure what we are doing on sustainability and sharing information on our continuous improvement,” Laycraft said. Nor do producers want endless audits to provide reliable information about environmental and production improvements. A sampling across the country should be sufficient. “I think there is an opportunity to

remain a leader without adding that extra burden on producers,” he said. Canada’s 82-member roundtable on sustainable beef production is studying indicators of sustainability, which should be released later this year. Indictors are things that can be measured, such as an assessment of Canada’s beef sector greenhouse gas emissions, the number of verified beef producers, labour relations with workers and use of the beef code of practice for humane handling of cattle. An auditing process to prove these claims is also being developed, said Fawn Jackson of the CCA. McDonald’s Corp. selected Canada to test its verified sustainable beef pilot and worked with players throughout the industry. It is releasing the results of the project June 1 in Calgary, where it will reveal what it learned and make its recommendations to the Canadian roundtable. Much of the corporation’s work can be melded into the national roundtable program. “The indicators are very similar to the McDonald’s one,” Jackson said. “They did a very good job of

Beef exporters cash in on Chinese demand South America is expected to be the major beneficiary, while Canada eyes increased shipments to the United States BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

S outh Amer ica is poised to increase its beef exports by 11 percent with more product probably going to China, said Rabobank in its quarterly beef report. China has had a major impact on the world beef trade. The country imported 473,000 tonnes of fresh and frozen beef last year as well as offal products. It is granting more access to more countries, so imports are expected to increase again this year. The Brazilian Beef Exporters Association said Brazil exported more than 1.3 million tonnes of beef worth more than US$5 billion. The Chinese trade was worth $400 million. This is happening while Brazil is in the midst of an economic slowdown. Gross domestic product fell by four percent in 2015, followed by a further decline of three percent this year. Local beef prices remain high and Brazilians have declining purchasing power, but some herd expansion is underway. The national herd is 205 million head, and the country slaughters 40 million a year. Brazil is expected to export more than 1.2 million tonnes of beef this year., Rabobank said in its report. It joins Australia, United States

and India as countries that export more than a million tonnes per year. Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay are also expected to increase exports. Argentina was subject to a 15 percent export tax from 2003-15. Producers responded by reducing their herds, but the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beef exports should be 300,000 tonnes this year, which is a 30 percent increase from last year, said Rabobank. Other countries are also active in the beef trade. New Zealand exported 449,836 tonnes last year. About half went to the U.S., 17 percent to China and the rest to other customers. Canada shipped 375,000 tonnes last year, making it the seventh largest exporter in the world. The industry is worth more than $16 billion a year, and the beef herd size is stable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the removal of COOL (country-of-origin labelling on cattle and beef shipped to the U.S.) and the increased slaughter rates, increased shipments of Canadian beef into the U.S. as well as other export destinations are expected,â&#x20AC;? said the report. Live exports had previously removed a lot of cattle from Canada, but that has slowed. Thirty-five percent of the live exports were

feeders, but more are now staying here and are being finished and slaughtered domestically. Brian Perillat of Canfax said feeder exports are down 75 percent: 5,000 to 7,000 head a week this year from 16,000 to 18,000 head a week last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are just at a crawl this year,â&#x20AC;? he said. Fed cattle exports are down 35 percent while cows and bulls are down 15 percent, but exports may pick up later in the year. A weaker Canadian dollar does not make much difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dollar doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t encourage exports. It impacts our prices, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the flows,â&#x20AC;? he said. Canada also imports beef: more than 203,984 tonnes last year valued at $1.6 billion, according to the Canadian Meat Council.

The country approved Argentine sales last fall, but it depends what buyers want, said John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association. Brazil is also seeking approval to enter Canada and the U.S., but governments have been careful about granting access because of past outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease. Getting into Canada is not that easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As additional countries get approved to export to Canada, they have to compete for the existing duty-free quota,â&#x20AC;? Masswohl said. An annual beef and veal tariff rate

quota of 76,409 tonnes is offered annually to countries that do not have a free trade agreement with Canada. Australia typically gets 35,000 tonnes and New Zealand receives 29,500 tonnes. The remaining 11,809 tonnes are open to all other countries. The tariff is 26.5 percent if they go over the quota. Nearly all the quota went to Uruguay when it opened at the beginning of this year, while 411 tonnes went to the United Kingdom and one tonne went to Japan. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative tackles predation ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

magine a grizzly bear wandering south from the Yukon into the Alberta Rockies and encountering a mate that made a similarly remarkable journey north from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. This type of encounter is part of the vision of an ambitious wildlife conservation effort in Western Canada and the United States. Called the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y), the purpose is to create a wildlifefriendly corridor through a 3,200 kilometre stretch of land spanning from the Yukon to Yellowstone National Park. It is a collaborative effort to create habitats that allow large wild animals such as grizzly bears and wolves to thrive and move more freely through areas that were in their historical range before European settlement. Increasing human activity, development in natural areas and habitat fragmentation are contributing to the decline in wild mammals. It also limits their ability to adapt to climate change, which is a serious and increasing threat. Animals will have to move to habitats with more favourable conditions or perish if climate change drastically changes current nature reserves. There is little hope that wild animals could successfully reestablish themselves elsewhere if safe connections between natural areas are lacking. This large-scale North American conservation project is important for several reasons: Large wild animals are increas-

This patchwork of suitable land acts like islands in the ocean â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the isolated groups of animals cannot travel between them and are vulnerable to extirpation. Animals in fragmented habitats experience more frequent contact and increased competition, which leads to increased stress and disease transmission. Many animal species have large individual territories. Habitat fragmentation and encroachment into wilderness areas may crowd wildlife to patches that are too small for their normal behaviours, including ranging and hunting. The remaining animals on these islands have limited opportunities to find mates that are unrelated. A limited gene pool reduces disease resistance and the ability to adapt to changing habitats, which will occur with climate change. Preserving habitats suitable for large mammals allows them to fulfill their function as landscape architects and top predators with trickle down effects to smaller animals and their environment. Ecosystems are enormously complex and depend on interactions between animals and their environment in ways that are challenging to predict.

LLOYDMINSTER SALE

Pride of the Prairies auction results LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The annual Pride of the Prairies bull sale in Lloydminster, Sask., last month brought a major proportion of Black Angus animals to town. The 20 Black Angus halter bulls on offer averaged $5,770. As well, six Red Angus bulls sold f o r a n av e ra g e o f $ 4 , 8 8 3 , s i x Charolais for $4,983, five Simmentals for $3,940, two Limousins for $3,500, one Horned Hereford for $5,000 and one Polled Hereford for $5,750. The sale also featured 126 pens of bulls from all of the above noted breeds except Limousin. The overall sale average among the pens was $4,719, which was slightly lower than the 2015 average on pens of bulls, which was $4,977. The high seller, at $9,000, was Greenwood Cyclone JJP 22C , exhibited by Jayden and Jaxon Payne of Lloydminster, Sask. It was bought by Duriez Ranching of Frenchman Butte, Sask. Duriez also bought the high-selling Red Angus, paying $5,800 for

Red Morland Commando BC, which was exhibited by Grady Morland of Major, Sask. Doug Eaton of Frenchman Butte paid the top price among Charolais animals on offer. Raymond and Beatrice Paschke of Love, Sask., received $7,000 for Pine Bluff Routy 57C. Top seller in the Polled Hereford category was SS Topline 43S Big Bud 38B. Exhibited by SS Cattle Company of Irma, Alta., it sold for $6,500 to Scott Robinson of Consort, Alta. Double G Livestock of Irma bought the high selling Horned Hereford, SS Topline 888Z Big Ben 124B, for $5,000 from SS Cattle Company. The top selling Simmental, at $6,500, was Odo Mr Charlie, exhibited by Ockerman Simmentals of Lindbergh, Alta. It was bought by Jordan Leskow of Edgerton, Alta. The high selling Limousin sold for $4,000 to Queenie Creek Livestock of Vermilion, Alta. The bull, RCN Cadillac, was exhibited by RCN Livestock of Paradise Hill, Sask.

For example, there were many unforeseen changes when wolves were reintroduced in Yellowstone National Park, including more beavers and increased elk movement, which even affected the flow of the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rivers. It must be remembered that a large-scale conservation plan like

this will increase the number of large predators, including grizzly bears. This in turn will create a major challenge for landowners, ranchers and other interest groups as they balance conservation with the needs of using the land. The project works with ranchers to reduce conflicts with large predators such as wolves and bears. For example, proper carcass disposal and garbage storage in areas near wilderness can prevent wildlife from moving into areas with higher human population and domestic livestock. Another Y2Y project incorporated electric fences around higherrisk calving pens. Ongoing plans to build overpasses and underpasses for wildlife in southern British Columbia will reduce road kills. Finding ways to co-exist is essential to this conservation effort. Increased connectivity and movement may facilitate disease

transmission if a pocket of disease was contained by human-created habitat fragmentation. Depending on the disease, the potentially negative impacts may be offset by an increase in resiliency and overall health of the population. The ambitious Y2Y project will increase the health of this important ecosystem at a landscape level by overcoming lines drawn on a map. This visionary approach considers that many wild animals need vast areas to thrive. As well, these large, interconnected natural areas are essential if wild animals are to be given a chance to adapt to climate change. All too often, the news about the status of wildlife is bleak. Initiatives such as the Y2Y offer a refreshing and ambitious reason for optimism. Dr. Jamie Rothenburger is a veterinarian who practices pathology and a PhD student at the Ontario Veterinary College.

Agriculture sector wants to ensure it is not faced with unfair penalties BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association is stressing that it wants a voice when climate change policies are discussed to avoid new regulations that may not be practical. “We have to be at the table when they are coming up with these policies,” Bob Lowe, chair of the CCA’s environment committee, said during the association’s March 9-12 annual meeting in Ottawa. The CCA has formed a subcommittee to develop policy on carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas

emissions and climate change initiatives so it can respond when government regulations or philosophies change. More research may be needed to understand where the different levels of government are going as the national agenda moves ahead in dealing with climate change on a larger scale, said Fawn Jackson, the association’s environmental coco-ordinator. “Nobody has come out and said, ‘here is what we are going to do at the government level,’ ” she said.

Carbon taxes are likely, and other means may be introduced to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture groups want to be in a position to support that while also ensuring the industry is not unjustly penalized. “ Yes, food production has a greenhouse gas footprint, but you need it to produce food,” she said. Carbon taxes and other charges worries feedlot operator Bryan Thiessen of Strathmore, Alta. “If government puts on a cost mechanism on our industry, we are going to become less competitive in the world market, also remembering that the world market gets to sell to Canada and they won’t have those same restrictions on them,” he said. The government has been working with the provinces and territories to develop a national framework on clean growth and climate change by 2017, said Laniel Bateman of Environment Canada. “Carbon pricing is a policy being implemented across Canada,” she said. “We are trying to look at the economic opportunity of climate change.” Canada is responsible for two percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions, and oil and gas production is the largest emitter. Alberta is responsible for the largest volume of emissions followed by Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. The recent Vancouver Declaration on clean growth and climate change emphasized clean technology, carbon pricing, specific mitigation opportunities, adaptation

and climate reliance. As well, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Barack Obama released a joint statement about methane reduction from the oil and gas industry during their meeting in Washington. A carbon tax or cap and trade system may allow farmers to sell offsets to high emitters, but there has not been much activity, said policy analyst Hugh Morand of Agriculture Canada. The latest figures from 2013 show Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions are 726 million tonnes per year, and agriculture contributes 10 percent of that, said Morand. There is a goal to sequester five million tonnes of carbon by 2030, but science has not been able to come up with a way to increase carbon storage in grasslands over time, said Morand. Innovation is a key area as the industry expands its information on climate smart farming practices. However, the Food and Agriculture Organization says problems are in less developed countries rather than in the production efficient nations such as Canada . Agriculture’s role Morand said agriculture is not mentioned in the Paris climate change agreement, other than recognizing the need for food security in the preamble. However, the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases does discuss agriculture’s contribution. Launched in 2009, the alliance brings countries together to find ways to grow more food without increasing greenhouse gas emissions. An example of the work it promotes is an upcoming project through Agriculture Canada to investigate the environmental impacts of dairy farm systems. The Global Methane Initiative is an international framework to promote cost-effective methane recovery and use as a clean energy source. It focuses on oil and gas systems, landfills, agriculture and coal. There were 41 partner countries as of October 2011. Canada has been a member since 2005. Methane could come from livestock enteric fermentation, livestock waste management, rice cultivation and agricultural waste burning. Of these, livestock waste management offers the most viable, nearterm opportunities for methane recovery and use, said the initiative’s website. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

U.S. firm receives access to CDC pea varieties The U of S Crop Development Centre finalizes a deal to give Canterra’s American affiliate access to six varieties BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Six pea varieties developed at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre will be heading south this spring, hoping to make a splash in the American market. Officials from the CDC and Canterra Seeds announced March 30 that they have finalized a deal that will give Canterra’s U.S. affiliate — Meridian Seeds — access to six CDC pea varieties beginning this year. Meridian will have exclusive U.S. distribution rights for CDC Amarillo, CDC Meadow, CDC Patrick,

CDC Raezer, CDC Saffron and CDC Treasure pea varieties. Canterra won the rights to distribute the varieties in the U.S. market last year following an open bid competition. Since then, Canterra, Meridian and the CDC have been working together to determine which varieties should be included in the agreement. Supplies of the six varieties will be exported to Meridian Seeds’ seed grower members this year. Additional CDC varieties may be added to the list as they become eligible. Meridian, like Canterra in Cana-

da, is a network of seed grower shareholders who grow and distribute pedigreed seed to commercial farmers. Andy Draeger, Meridian’s general manager, said U.S. pulse acreage has been increasing over the past few years. He said American growers will be eager to gain access to the CDC varieties, although volumes available in the U.S. will likely be limited. “There’s probably not going to be much movement across this year,” he said. “We just got the license signed … and yellow peas have definitely been sold out since January. We do

anticipate moving some greens across but how much is undetermined at this point.” The estimated value of the deal was not made public. Royalties will be collected on all pedigreed material that is planted or sold in the United States. Kofi Agblor, CDC’s managing director, said revenue generated through the deal will be reinvested in CDC’s pulse breeding programs. CDC has had distribution agreements with other American agents in the past. However, the deal with Canterra is expected to boost American sales by tapping into Meridian’s U.S.

Some pea producers in Saskatchewan have questioned whether a Canadian breeding program funded by producer checkoffs and public dollars should be selling Canadian varieties to competing growers. But Carl Potts, executive director of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, said the decision to sell distribution rights in the United States is nothing new. The CDC and SPG have a longterm agreement in place that gives SPG exclusive global commercialization rights for all CDC pulse crop varieties, Potts said. However, there is always some leakage, he added. “Leakage across borders, including to the United States, is something that isn’t completely preventable so for a number of years, the SPG has basically surrendered those international rights back to the CDC … two or three years (after the varieties have been) released here in Canada,” Potts explained. “From our perspective, if the varieties are likely to be grown in other places like the U.S. anyways, we feel its better to have a system set up … whereby those varieties can … be sold legally and can actually generate additional … revenues to be reinvested….” brian.cross@producer.com

GENETIC MODIFICATION

Lawsuit targets GM salmon CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. health regulators are facing a lawsuit from environmental organizations seeking to overturn the government’s landmark approval of a genetically modified salmon. The lawsuit alleges that the Food and Drug Administration failed to consider all of the environmental risks of the fish when it approved it in November. The groups also said that the FDA cleared the fish, which was made by AquaBounty Technologies, without having the proper authority to regulate GM animals produced for food. The FDA’s approval of the AquaBounty salmon followed a 20-year review and was the first such approval for an animal whose DNA has been scientifically modified. AquaBounty is confident the FDA’s approval will stand, said chief executive officer Ron Stotish. He said the FDA was “extraordinarily thorough and transparent in the review and approval of our application,” he said. The company has said its salmon can grow to market size in half the time of conventional salmon, which saves time and resources. However, the lawsuit claimed that the FDA approval process included “an extremely limited environmental assessment” that did not fully evaluate the potential for AquaBounty salmon to escape from the facilities where they are grown.

WHEAT MARKETING

Cereals Canada says British wheat miller member adds credibility BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Cereals Canada says the addition of Warburton’s as a member is a big step forward in the organization’s evolution. “It’s really important to have the voice and input of those end use customers,” said president Cam Dahl. “I think it adds a critically

important perspective to the industry.” Warburton’s produces high quality bread for the British grocery market and has been a steady buyer of Canadian wheat for more than a century. In the 1990s, it developed an identity-preserved grain system with Canadian farmers and the Canadian grain handling system to

ensure it received the exact type of wheat it demanded for its mills. About 200,000 tonnes of Canadian wheat flows through that system every year. It was originally developed with the Canadian Wheat Board, which marketed all milling wheat. It was a successful program that the CWB often highlighted as proof that its efforts were reaping extra value for

Canadian farmers by being able to tightly control and manage the Canadian system. Some worried that the Canadian system would no longer be able to deliver consistent quality to picky buyers when the CWB monopoly was broken. However, Warburton’s stayed active with the Canadian International Grains Institute and other

parts of the industry and has now joined Cereals Canada, which gives the organization more justification in claiming to speak for Canada’s milling grains industry. “It really does lead from seed development and the research side … linked now completely through to the end-use customer,” said Dahl. ed.white@producer.com

Crop input sector consolidates Crop Production Services buys more retail outlets, while Univar Canada buys a wholesaler BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There has been further consolidation in the retail and distribution side of Western Canada’s crop input business. Agrium’s Crop Production Services has bought retail outlets in Saskatchewan, while Univar Canada acquired a wholesale fertilizer distributor. Crop Production Services acquired Wigmore Farms March 17, which includes three stores in Assiniboia, Avonlea and Ogema. On Jan. 15, it bought Northstar Fertilizers with locations in Hudson Bay, Prairie River, Peesane, Arborfield and St. Brieux. The company also has an agreement to buy Wendland Ag Service, which operates retail outlets in Blaine Lake, Cut Knife, Delmas, Domremy, Rosthern and Waldheim. That deal is subject to closing conditions. The deals, if finalized, will add 14 locations to the 275 the company had in Western Canada as of the end of last year. Crop Production Services was already the leading retailer of agricultural products and services to Western Canadian growers. Some farmers are not pleased to see the big getting bigger. “I think it’s increasingly problematic that we have companies monopolizing the market,” said Jan Slomp, president of the National

IF APPROVED, AGRIUM’S CPS WILL HAVE

289 retail outlets ACROSS WESTERN CANADA Farmers Union. “There is a need for the Competition Bureau to look at it because we farmers are in the squeeze on both ends, when we buy inputs as well as when we sell a product.” Agrium spokesperson Richard Downey said the Competition Bureau is vetting the acquisitions. There has also been activity on the distribution side of the crop input business with Univar buying Nexus Ag, a wholesale fertilizer distributor for western Canadian retailers. Neil Douglas, vice-president of agriculture for Univar Canada, said the deal rounds out Univar’s product lineup. “We now can provide our customers with everything,” he said. Univar’s niche is supplying prod-

uct to independent crop input retailers and smaller grain companies. The company distributed crop protection products, seed and inoculants before buying Nexus. The Nexus purchase allows Univar to provide a brokering service for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur fertilizers and sell a proprietary line of micronutrients. “It gives us the ability to now service our customers with more than just crop protection products,” Douglas said. “We can also provide them their nutrient needs.” The purchase was motivated in part by the formation of United Suppliers Canada when Grow Community of Independents decided to

partner with United Suppliers, a collection of 600 primarily U.S. agricultural retailers. Univar had long wanted to add its own line of micronutrients, but the partnership between Grow and United Suppliers forced the company to explore playing a bigger role on the fertilizer side of the business. “When United Suppliers did start offering their macro-fertilizer brokering service in Canada, it did make a lot more sense for us to look for a company like Nexus Ag instead of just looking for a micronutrient line,” said Douglas. Independent retailers and smaller grain companies account for 42 percent of Western Canada’s crop input business. Univar provides them with 38 percent of their product. “We have the number one market share in that space,” he said. The company supplies 240 companies operating 320 retail outlets in Canada. Last October, Univar acquired Future Transfer and BlueStar Distribution, which added logistics, warehousing, packaging and formulation services to the business. The addition of Nexus means Univar now operates 16 facilities in four provinces with more than 110,000 sq. metres of agrichemical warehouse space, which is the most in Canada. sean.pratt@producer.com

LIBERAL BUDGET

Tax changes affect small business, shareholder loans TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

he new Liberal government’s first budget is 269 pages. That’s a lot thinner than in previous years, but there is no lack of tax changes. Here are some ways the budget could affect your farm. Small business tax rate The former Conservative government had committed to reducing the federal small business tax rate to nine percent from 11 by 2019. The tax has been decreased to 10.5 percent for 2016, but the drop has been halted there. The budget had no comments on whether this will be re-visited, but don’t expect further decreases at this time. The small business tax rate applies to the first $500,000 of tax-

Partners in a farm corporation now have to split the $500,000 income limit for the small business tax rate able income earned in a corporation. Farming businesses often structure their operations to multiply access to this $500,000 and the lower tax rate. The budget indicates that the government will implement more restrictive rules to limit a person, family or business from setting up structures to expand the small business deduction. For example, two neighbours farm together in a partnership. Each neighbour also has a separate farming corporation that isn’t directly connected to the farming partnership. The partnership pays custom work fees to the corporation. Under the old rules each receives a small business limit of $500,000 for income received from the partnership — $1 million in total. The new rules will require the small business deduction to be split between the two corporations, resulting in only $250,000 of the small business limit to each partner.

Back–to-back shareholder loans Owing a farm corporation money for more than one year can result in shareholder benefit rules that can result in double taxation. Strategies have been created to move this debt around to avoid these tax consequences. The budget has introduced more restrictive rules to ensure that these debts are taxed.

expenditures similar to depreciation. However, the gain earned on a sale was taxed at the lower active business tax rate rather than the higher tax rate on capital gains. This budget implements rules that will treat these purchases the same as any equipment purchases under the capital cost allowance system. The allowance (depreciation) on these types of assets will be five percent a year, which will be claimed as an expense. Also, any gain on the sale will be treated as a capital gain.

Overall budget The budget expects a $29.4 billion deficit in 2016, and the government does not plan to have a balanced budget by 2020. The anticipated deficit makes it hard to predict what tax changes will be coming in the next few years. Riley Honess of KPMG contributed to this article.

Capital gain exemption The budget did not change the $1 million threshold for the sale of qualified farm property. Change to eligible capital property rules Eligible capital expenditures for items such as water rights and quota have been until now tracked and reported differently for tax than are other assets. This system allowed for a tax deduction to be claimed for these

TOUGH. CAPABLE. CLEVER. Why do we put so much effort into engineering the Can-Am® Defender? Why do we equip it with tough Rotax® engines featuring best-in-class torque? Why do we give it industry-leading towing and hauling capabilities? And why do we make it clever with versatile cargo solutions and much more? Well, why do you put so much effort at everything you do? Because a job worth doing, is worth doing right.
