Farmers should refuse to accept lower lease payments from oil companies, says advocacy group BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

There was $1,200 missing from the lease fee cheque Verna Phippen received this year from the energy company that has leases on her land. The Pigeon Lake, Alta., landowner filed a claim with the Alberta Surface Rights Board to obtain the balance of

the fee owed according to her lease agreement, but she isn’t holding her breath for a quick payment. “I know of people that have been waiting a couple years and have yet to get their cheque even though the Surface Rights Board has recommended to the minister (of finance) that they be paid out of general revenues,” said Phippen. Her situation may become com-

monplace, as the beleaguered Alberta oil and gas industry seeks to cut costs amid a pricing slump that is affecting almost all sectors of the economy. More than one energy company ha s a s k e d f a r m e r s t o a c c e p t reduced lease payments, which are designed to compensate them for adverse effect on their land and inconvenience resulting from the

presence of wells and pipelines on their property. They should refuse those requests, said Ronald Huvenaars, a farmer from Hays, Alta., who is chair of Action Surface Rights (ASR), an advocacy group formed to help landowners deal with energy companies. SEE LOSING ON LEASES, PAGE 4

Gov’t backs compensation for dairy Trade deals could have devastating impact on dairy industry: DFC BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

TRADE

TPP trade consultations draw wide-ranging viewpoints Trans-Pacific Partnership deal is the focus of parliamentary study to ensure all sectors are heard BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The parliamentary committee on international trade continues its cross-country public consultations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership after a swing through the West in April. So far, says Conservative committee member and former agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, the presentations from various organizations have been as expected. “The usual suspects are for it and the usual suspects are against it,” he said in an interview from Washington, where American agricultural representatives had gathered to push for TPP ratification. Ritz said 225 organizations had come together to lobby the Obama administration and agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack to make sure the deal is done. In Canada, people have until June 30 to make written submissions to the committee. They can also appear as witnesses at any time during the study. At the consultations in Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon and Winnipeg, the committee heard from

grains and oilseeds, beef and pork producers how the agreement would improve access to international markets and support more processing in Canada. Kevin Boon, general manager of the British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association, told the Vancouver meeting that the industry there is looking at the viability of more feeding and processing as cattle production moves north. In Saskatoon, Jason Skotheim, chair of SaskBarley, said the TPP would eliminate the current $133 per tonne tariff on Canadian feed barley entering Japan and increase export value by $25 million. “The TPP would also see barley preparations and flour become duty free immediately in Japan on TPP-wide tariff rate quotas, TRQs, of approximately 400 tonnes, growing to 615 tonnes over five years,” Skotheim said. “Canada currently exports about 100,000 tonnes of food barley a year to Japan.” Exporters said Canada must be one of the founding signatories to the deal to get the most value from it, including more jobs. Janice Tranberg, executive director of SaskCanola, said that 14

crush plants across Canada employ about 222,000 people. Increased capacity could add 22,000 potential jobs, when current numbers are extrapolated. Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association chair Ryan Beierbach said research in that sector shows about 27 workers are employed for every $1 million in cattle sales. Increasing sales from $100 million to $300 million would add up to 5,400 jobs. Ritz said those opposed to the deal are concerned about labour and environmental standards in some countries, but he said the TPP would actually force them to “up their game.” He also said there is value in the consultations even if he has heard it all before because there was a misconception that the Conservatives negotiated the TPP in secret. “Hundreds of businesses signed the non-disclosure clause and were part of daily and weekly briefings, as well as provinces that wanted to be involved,” Ritz said. Some chose not to, and that was their decision, he said. Meanwhile, the Canadian AgriFood Trade Alliance has said the process in Canada is moving too

slowly and urged the government to get on with it. Ritz said he wonders why the Liberal government is focused on following what the Americans do. He said other countries should move first and put pressure on the Americans to do the same. Both he and Al Mussell, lead researcher at Agri-Food Economic Systems, say they don’t think the U.S. election will necessarily be a factor. Frontrunners Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump have both said they would tear up the agreement. “That’s the politics of it,” Ritz said. “We’ve seen this move in 1993 in Canada.” Mussell noted NAFTA was signed by the Brian Mulroney and George H. Bush administrations, but was ratified by the Jean Chretien and Bill Clinton governments, “both of whom campaigned adamantly against NAFTA….” He said Trump might have a hard time overcoming the election rhetoric if he wins, but Hillary Clinton would likely sign it, particularly if Congress were sympathetic. karen.briere@producer.com

Dairy Farmers of Canada say they are relieved the Liberal government will compensate them for losses when more European products are allowed to enter Canada under a free trade deal. The government had not agreed to honour an Oct. 5 commitment by the previous Conservative government to mitigate for losses under both the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Europe and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, causing industrywide concern. Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay and International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland issued a statement May 2 saying they would meet with the industry within 30 days to find out how it wants to be compensated for CETA alone. The trade deal is expected to take effect in 2017. CETA, when ratified, would allow an additional 17,700 tonnes of European cheese into Canada. DFC has estimated that would cause losses of between $110 and $150 million per year in revenue. “An appropriate mitigation package is necessary for the Canadian dairy industry,” the ministers’ statement said. “Our conversations will address, among other issues, transition support for producers and processors, as well as proposed program and investment options.” The previous Conservative government had announced a $4.3-billion package intended to compensate supply-managed farmers for both CETA and TPP. Wally Smith, DFC president, said in a posting on the association website that dairy farmers welcome the opportunity to “make adjustments to the package that was announced on Oct. 5.” He said the package should include a funding program to attract new investments and increase processing capacity. “Processors in Canada need investments in order to help increase their capacity to compete in the post-CETA market,” he said. “The time to make those investments is before the implementation of the deal.” He also said the negotiations should result in a model that could be used for TPP compensation. The government has said ratifying CETA is a priority; TPP ratification is less certain. karen.briere@producer.com

LOSING ON LEASES » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Don’t sign,” said Huvenaars. “If you sign that for a reduced rate and this company happens to go bankrupt, in the next year or so, if you want to apply to the Surface Rights Board to get your lease payment, the lease payment will only be for the new renegotiated price. “Basically you’re committing yourself to a lower amount from that day on, until you can renegotiate a higher price again.” Huvenaars said he has not been asked to accept a lower rate on his leases but knows of other landowners who have been approached to do so. “They’re sending out letters saying ‘due to the problems in the industry, we feel we want you to cut your lease rates.’ A lot of them are saying in half. “It’s to share the pain, I guess, is how their letters go. Everybody’s just trying to find a place to save some funds. Some of the companies are finding all kinds of interesting federal legislation to try to get out of leases.” However, Huvenaars points out energy companies didn’t offer to increase lease payments when oil prices were high. Rates are written in contracts. Daryl Bennett, an ASR director and vice-president with My Landman Group, said he has been helping farmers deal with requests for reduced lease payments, some of them seeking a 50 or 60 percent reduction. “In those cases we just send them a letter saying we are applying to the Surface Rights Board and they have 30 days to pay the remainder of the amount or we’ll apply to the board and then they can have the privilege of paying for representation costs for the landowner,” said Bennett. “Usually the company will back off because they’ll have to pay far more than that in legal costs to go before the board.” In some cases, energy companies have offered to pay farmers a lump sum for wells they say are close to reclamation. However, if that reclamation doesn’t take place, the landowner will have forfeited the lease payments. “That’s a common tactic, for companies to promise reclamation, but they don’t have the money to reclaim a lot of these wells. They’re just trying to get rid of their obligation to pay the rental,” said Bennett. “We’re simply telling landowners that if you have a producing well on your land, and the company is just telling you they’re reducing the rents, don’t stand for it.” Energy company bankruptcy is already a fact of life in the sector. In 2015, 20 Canadian oil and gas exploration companies went into receivership, according to Sayer Energy Advisors, a company

involved in energy industr y acquisitions and mergers. It said in its winter 2016 newsletter that it expected more to fold in 2016. Bennett said the ASR group is waiting for a response to its submission to the finance department, asking if it will cover landowners’ legal costs to recoup full lease payments and whether the government is in turn calling energy companies to account. “We do not think the minister of finance is trying to recoup money from existing operators who refuse to pay and to us, that’s a dereliction of duty. They should be doing that,” Bennett said. Huvenaars wonders if the situation will worsen as energy companies pull out the stops to save money and survive until oil prices improve. “O ne of my fears is that it becomes a bit of a vicious circle when a few companies start trying to do some of these things. We have companies that respect their commitments. But everybody is competitive … and when your competitors are starting to try to walk away from things … it almost forces other companies to start working at doing the same thing.” Alberta’s Farmers Advocate Office (FAO) issued an advisory about energy companies’ efforts to reduce their payments. “ The amount provided for annual rental is based on a landowner’s Adverse Effect and Loss of Use, not the state of the industry,” the FAO said. “A company cannot unilaterally decide to reduce the amount of compensation provided to a landowner. Section 27 (6) of the Surface Rights Act entitles landowners to the opportunity to negotiate with industry in good faith. “A landowner is under no obligation to accommodate the changing financial circumstances of a company.” The FAO further stated that landowners can seek compensation for unpaid or reduced rents through the SRB, and cashing a cheque from an energy company does not necessar ily imply acceptance of the amount. barb.glen@producer.com

Can landowners sell their leases with energy companies? Farmers may be tempted to sell their energy leases to investment companies, but there could be tax implications and other issues BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

An investment company interested in buying energy company leases from landowners got the attention of Verna Phippen of Pigeon Lake, Alta. She has several leases on her land and would like to be relieved of the dealings she said have become a headache. Trouble is, she isn’t sure about the long-term implications or even the legality of making such a deal. “There’s a lot of hydrocarbons under my land so I get bombarded by the oil and gas industry on a constant basis,” said Phippen. “I’m one of those landowners that, every time they file to get a licence, I file an objection with the regulator. I would love nothing more than to get rid of these guys and have someone else deal with them.” Surface Capital is offering to buy energy leases from farmers to amass a portfolio for shareholder investment. As reported in the April 4 issue of The Western Producer, it estimates there are 700,000 oil leases in Saskatchewan and Alberta that could be worth $10 billion. With the drastic reduction in oil prices in the past two years, some

energy companies are in default of lease payments or have gone bankrupt and abandoned wells. Some of those wells can still be productive, while others will require reclamation. Karen Johnson, Alberta’s Property Rights Advocate, said April 28 that her office is aware of Surface Capital’s general plan but has not seen a copy of any proposed agreement. She said it is not the advocate’s role to comment on whether this or any agreement is legal, but rather to assess property rights situations “and then determine if there’s any recommended changes to property rights laws or processes that I can make to government.” Phippen wonders how a third party such as Surface Capital could claim loss of use and adverse effect on her land. Such loss is the basis for lease payments by energy companies to land owners. “They do not own land, nor do they occupy it. All they have is my former revenue stream, which the grantee may cut them off of because I had loss of use and adverse effect as the landowner, but the enterprise does not,” Phippen wrote in an email. The Alberta Farmer’s Advocate Office (FAO) recently issued a warning to landowners about sell-

ing leases. It said the Surface Rights Board is a recourse for landowners in cases where an energy company becomes insolvent or refuses to pay lease fees. “To imply that no recourse for unpaid rentals is available is a misleading approach that capitalizes on landowner fears,” the FAO said. Value provided is also an issue. “At this point, the FAO has not confirmed what payout is being offered to landowners in exchange for their surface rights. Since a landowner has a right to be paid in full until the reclamation is complete, assigning the annual compensation to a third party in perpetuity may prevent a landowner from receiving full value in return for the impacts they experience during the lifetime of the development.” There may also be tax implications and effects on the marketability of the property. barb.glen@producer.com

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

Sustainability a complex issue: economist BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Trails End Beef near Nanton, Alta., earned the designation of Animal Welfare Approved after 10 years of marketing grassfed beef. “ We w a n t e d t o a d d s o m e authenticity to our product and something that could be third party verified for any customers who were interested,” she said. The process was thorough and required considerable paperwork. The auditor checked the ranch, the cattle, water supplies, feed, shelter and handling. “Our whole intention has been to connect with people and be so transparent about how their beef is raised. For us, it won’t change our game at all,” Rachel said. As a direct marketer, she has learned people want to know the story of the beef they buy. Earls beef will be supplied by Creekstone, owned by investment company Sun Capital Partners. It offers two U.S. Department of Agriculture certified beef programs for its premium black Angus beef and natural beef, as well as approval from Certified Humane program based in Virginia. It is a labelling and certification program from the Humane Farm Animal Care program founded in 2003 and offers independent audits of livestock farms and processors.

The angry reaction to a Canadian restaurant chain buying American beef is not a surprise, says a University of Alberta agriculture economist. “They must have been getting some animal welfare flack or they would not be doing this,” said Ellen Goddard, who researches consumer behaviour and is the cooperative chair in agricultural marketing and business. Earls Restaurants announced it was buying its beef from Creekstone Beef in Kansas because it could guarantee the product came from humane operations through a company called Certified Humane based in Virginia that offers independent inspections and certifications of livestock farms and processors. Goddard’s research shows Canadians are concerned about animal husbandry standards but if they were asked to evaluate certain industries they probably would say they are more worried about the treatment of hogs or laying hens. She said she believes Earls wanted a marketing edge in the highly competitive food service business. The company decided to focus on animal welfare to differentiate itself. “Earls can do what they like if they want a marketing edge. I think the logo was important because it came with all this background and experience,” she said. She is not sure how this could impact Earls in the longer term. “My suspicion is certainly in Alberta they are going to notice this backlash but whether the people in B.C. are going to feel as strongly I don’t know,” she said. Some of Goddard’s past research included a small survey on public attitudes towards the certified humane logo. Few recognized it but when told what the standards were, they supported it. People want assurances that the food they eat is ethically raised and when they see undercover videos of abusive treatment of animals on farms they assume it is widespread. “A logo helps them decide the products they want to buy that do satisfy their concerns. It sends a signal to them that they don’t have to feel uncomfortable about buying that product,” she said. She said Earls probably knows the industry is developing sustainable standards and probably supports the Canadian industry but they wanted something to show their customers they were serious about a particular issue. “The sustainable standards that the Canadian industry is developing is much broader than just animal welfare so it is going to be very complex for the consumer to understand all the issues the Canadian round table is developing,” she said. The industry is doing everything right but the standards are complex and it will be some time before someone marketing beef can take advantage of it. The Canadian roundtable for sustainable beef is expected to have its report ready next year.

Earls restaurants draws fire over new certified beef policy The company says its marketing plan is designed to appeal to socially conscious consumers, while Canadian beef producers say their animals are being raised humanely BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A tempest has blown across Canadian beef farms following the Earls Restaurants decision to buy American. The chain, with 66 locations in Canada and the United States announced it is the first restaurant chain in North America to serve Certified Humane Beef that is also raised without the use of antibiotics or growth promoting hormones. That move sparked outcries from Canadian beef producers because that meat comes from Creekstone Farms in Arkansas City, Kansas. Earls turned to the United States because it needs about two million pounds of beef per year and had difficulty getting enough Canadian beef to meet its specifications. “There was (and is) simply not enough certified humane, antibiotic, steroid free beef in Alberta to meet the volume we use and those we tried were unable to consistently meet our supply needs, not even a portion of it,” said Earls spokesperson Cate Simpson in an email. The company marketing plan, C o m m i t m e nt t o C o n s c i o u s Sourcing is designed to appeal to socially conscious consumers, but it raised the ire of beef pro-

ducers and their supporters who called for a boycott of Earls campaign on social media. “Though I understand the job of the Alberta beef lobbyists is to lobby for their product, it seems unfortunate that they are distorting what is really good news for animal welfare,” said Simpson. Earls also promotes its use of sustainable fish, organic maple syrup and vegetables, as well as free range chicken and eggs from cage free establishments. The company said if Canadians could supply the beef, it would reconsider its procurement policies. Earls also said it wants an animal care program that follows the systems designed by animal behaviourist Temple Grandin. Ron Davidson of the Canadian Meat Council said those already exist in Canada. Canadian producers and processors follow Canadian Food Inspection Agency requirements for humane transportation, handling and slaughter requirements. These requirements are specified in the federal Meat Hygiene Manual of Procedures and reflect the Grandin principles, he wrote in an email. Rob McNabb of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said Canadian beef producers were disap-

pointed over the announcement. “We are making efforts to move towards being able to provide specific attributes that end users want, not just one size fits all by any means. We are a little disappointed that these keep jumping out ahead and do not give us a chance to see what we can do,” he said. Earls is not a member of the Canadian Round Table on Sustainable Beef where members are working toward providing a set of attributes focusing on economic, environmental and social aspects of beef production. These include animal welfare components. “Had they been involved there we would have had some forewarning,” he said. Alberta Beef Producers also responded, pointing out that animal protection regulations are in place and the code of practice for the care and handling of beef cattle addresses animal welfare. “The regulations, codes, and verification processes we have developed are primarily intended to demonstrate and record the responsible production practices that have been in place for years,” said the news release. There are individual beef operations with humane certification, although many are on a smaller scale. Tyler and Rachel Herbert of

Australians hope growing season rain will combat year of El Nino drought BY SEAN PRATT

Above normal rain forecast lifts hopes for good 2016-17 crop

AUSTRALIA’S ROSY SEASONAL OUTLOOK It was a hot, dry summer in Australia but the coming Southern Hemisphere autumn and winter, when most crops are produced, is set for good moisture. The drought will recede as the El Nino releases its grip. If a La Nina forms, it would further improve the outlook for above normal rain during the growing season. Percent chance of above-average rainfall for May to July:

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Australians are planting their winter crops on parched fields but help could be on the way. The Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology delivered some good news for growers about moisture prospects for the first part of the Southern Hemisphere winter growing season. “Odds favour above-average rainfall over the next three months,” senior climatologist Andrew Watkins said in a video on the bureau’s website. The bureau believes there is a 65 to 80 percent chance that the graingrowing region of the country will receive above median rainfall. If it happens, it would be well received because much of the country is bone dry as farmers head into their fields. The Southern Hemisphere summer, between October 2015 and April 2016, was abnormally hot and dry due to El Nino. Watkins said there were only

three brief monsoon rains with little moisture falling since the start of 2016. What made matters worse was the record low number of tropical cyclones during that period. There were three, which is well below the previous 10-year average of 11. There are short and long-term rainfall deficiencies in all states and territories, but eastern regions

are drier than Western Australia. “This wet season has also been one of the hottest on record,” he said. The average temperature exceeded 29 C, so when states like Queensland did receive some rain it quickly evaporated. “Lower-layer soil moisture is now below average in many agricultural areas,” said Watkins. Water reserves are 10 percent

lower than they were at the same time last year and continue to fall. The main reason for his optimism for the May to July period is that El Nino is rapidly fading and could be in the final month of its reign. There is a 50 percent chance of a La Nina forming in 2016, which is twice the normal odds. It would bring above average rainfall to central and eastern Australia, where many of the crops are grown. If La Nina fails to develop and there are instead neutral conditions, then Australia’s weather will be influenced by other factors such as the Indian Ocean Dipole. The dipole is expected to turn negative by August, which raises the chance of rainfall for southern Australia. So either way the odds are good for above normal rainfall over the next three months, which would get the crop off to a good start. But what is going in the ground? The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (ABARES) provided its initial thoughts on that subject in a March report. The area planted to wheat is expected to be unchanged. Wheat area in Queensland and New South Wales is forecast to decline due to stiff competition from chickpeas, while plantings in Western Australia will

increase at the expense of lupins. Wheat production is forecast to rise one percent to 24.5 million tonnes. Chickpea area is expected to increase due to attractive prices but production is forecast to be marginally lower than the record one million tonnes produced last year assuming a return to average yields. That conflicts with a recent article in Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ Pulse Market Report. That story says that Pulse Australia is forecasting a 29 percent increase in desi chickpeas to 2.2 million acres and that some in the trade feel growers will produce 1.2 to 1.6 million tonnes of desis, up from 971,900 tonnes last year. Pulse Australia is f o re c a s t i n g a s e v e n p e rc e n t increase in peas and five percent boost in lentil acres. Coarse grain area is expected to decline four percent as barley loses ground to canola. Barley production is forecast to remain largely unchanged. Canola plantings are expected to recover after hitting a five-year low in 2015-16 due to high barley prices and unfavourable planting conditions that year. Assuming average yields canola production is forecast to increase 11 percent to 3.3 million tonnes. sean.pratt@producer.com

Americans want automatic feed wheat grade changed

Soybean acres may have hit plateau BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Demise of Bill C-48 means U.S. wheat still discriminated against at Canadian elevators

“It’s a technical glitch . . . As time goes forward I think this is something that can be addressed.” With a new government in power, any legislation to fix the situation will have to be introduced, since C-48 died. Vilsack, Vetter and Henry said they have raised the issues with MacAuley so that it is not forgotten in the blizzard of issues that the new government is having to catch up with. “They have reached out to us very quickly after they came into office,” said Vetter, noting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent state visit to Washington. “We have quickly established relationships there with them.” Peterson said the border issue is not raging with American farmers now, and farmers have generally been more interested in delivering Canadian grain to U.S. elevators rather than the opposite, but that could change. “Right now it’s not a big deal, but if the price situation changed, where it’s attractive for our producers to sell up there, that’s where the heartburn is,” said Peterson. “They would not be able to take advantage of that.”

After years of consistent increases, soybean acres have reached a temporary plateau in Canada. National soy acres went from three million in 2008 to 5.5 million in 2014, but seeded area fell to 5.4 million last year and may be slightly lower this spring, Statistics Canada said in its seeding intentions report released in April. Soybean acres will likely sink in Saskatchewan, where many growers are choosing lentils or peas over soybeans. Seed sales for soybeans were slow this winter in southeastern Saskatchewan, a clear sign that farmers were less interested in beans. Based on farmer sur veys, StatsCan estimated Saskatchewan soy acres at 245,000, compared to 270,000 acres in 2015. In Manitoba, StatsCan said producers intend to plant 1.5 million acres of soybeans, up 10 percent from last spring. Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture crop advisor in Souris, said growers plan to plant more soybeans in the southwest, but he’s doubtful about the rest of the province. “I think our acreage in this area is going to be increasing…. The guys that were growing 500 acres last year are growing 1,000 or 1,200 this year,” he said. “(But) we’re hearing the (Red River) valley might be going down and replacing some of those (soybean) acres with peas.” The popularity of soybeans will likely reduce sunflower acres in parts of Manitoba. Earlier this year Troy Turner, National Sunflower Association agronomist, said acres would be down compared to 2015. Contract prices were decent this winter, 24 cents a pound for black oils and 28 cents for confectionaries, but sunflowers can be a finicky crop because of disease pressure and weed issues. Instead, farmers are choosing to grow low maintenance crops like soybeans. “Some of the guys that have tried soybeans are (asking) ‘why am I growing sunflowers if I can grow soybeans,’ ” Kaskiw said. StatsCan estimated the sunflower seeded area at 80,000 acres, compared to 100,000 last year.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans want Canada to fix the discrimination U.S. wheat faces when American farmers try to deliver grain to Canadian elevators. It’s an issue that arose repeatedly in discussions with American politicians, government officials and wheat industry representatives during the North American Agricultural Journalists annual conference. American farmers want “a grading system that would make it fairer and a balanced approach in terms of our grains,” said U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, speaking to NAAJ by phone from Vietnam. “The current grading system has a tendency to undervalue American grain that is being exported to Canada.” His views were echoed by the U.S. chief agriculture trade negotiator and other Washington agriculture players. Presently U.S. wheat can be sold to processors based on specifications, and much is. Grain can be delivered directly to processors, or sold on specs to Canadian elevator points. However, uncontracted or unarranged farmer deliveries to elevators run into crippling snags that can devastate the value of the grain. U.S. grain delivered into the bulk handling system must be graded as feed, regardless of its qualities, and that includes wheat from the varieties Faller, Prosper, Glen and Elgin, which are approved and grown in Canada. That’s the focus of American annoyance, because farmers growing the same grain in the U.S. and Canada are treated differently at Canadian elevators. However, the hundreds of Canadian farmers who have hauled to U.S. elevators generally find their grain treated the same as local grain. “Right now obviously it’s an unfair advantage,” said Erica Peterson, the North Dakota Wheat Commission’s marketing specialist. U.S. Wheat Associates’ policy director, Dalton Henry, said the problem will likely grow. “I think you’re going to see more and more varieties that are regis-

U.S. grain growers are irritated that grain delivered into the Canadian bulk handling system is currently graded as feed, regardless of its qualities. | iSTOCK PHOTO tered in Canada also being grown in the United States,” said Henry. Some of this problem would have been eliminated if Bill C-48 had passed last year. That would have updated the Canada Grain Act removing the requirement to label any U.S. wheat as feed. If a variety was registered in Canada, it would grade the same as grain grown in Canada. When the federal election was called that bill died. Vilsack and U.S. agricultural trade negotiator Darci Vetter said they have raised the issue with Canadian government officials and federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAuley, pointing out it’s something they’d like to see fixed. “They have said they are looking at ways to address that in regulation,” said Vetter. Henry said he had just received a letter from MacAuley saying that the government recognizes the need to update the Canada Grain Act and is examining the “work to date” on the issues. U.S. Wheat Associates also wants Canada to fix another problem it perceives, which is the foreign designation on U.S. grain delivered to the bulk handling system, which they believe effectively segregates U.S. wheat, forcing companies to

keep it separate from Canadiangrown grain. That creates a situation similar to Country of Origin Labelling in meat, which effectively segregated Canadian origin livestock and shut down much trade. “Yes, they can handle U.S. wheat, but because of these restrictions or requirements, they don’t handle U.S. wheat, even when there’s a price premium on the Canadian side of the border like we saw this past summer,” said Henry. Nobody is accusing Canada of deliberately blocking access to U.S. wheat. Americans generally accept that the present impediments to elevator delivery are a hangover from the Canadian Wheat Board days and the elimination of its monopolies. Many regulations have been changed, but not all, and there are some unexpected snags. That’s a viewpoint Cereals Canada’s Cam Dahl presents when talking to U.S. grain players. There have been major changes to variety registration, grain grading and especially marketing powers, so not everything has gotten done at once. “These are actually enormous changes,” said Dahl about the CWB dismantling and grain management evolution.

CROP FORECAST

Central Canada to grab most corn acre expansion

Forecast drop in North American bean production could help lagging prices

StatCan report shows little growth in corn acres in Western Canada BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Across Canada, corn acres are expected to rise six percent this year, but little of that growth will likely come from Western Canada. In an April 21 release, Statistics Canada said grain corn acres would jump 4.1 to 4.6 percent in Quebec and Ontario. StatsCan, based on farmer surveys, said Manitoba acres would be 360,000, up substantially from 225,000 – 250,000 in 2015. Morgan Cott, Manitoba Corn Growers Association agronomist, isn’t as optimistic. Seeded acres will likely be similar to last year. “The price is improving a little bit… but it’s not stable enough to (encourage) a jump back into the bigger acres,” Cott said. Manitoba hit an all-time high of 380,000 grain corn acres in 2013, thanks to corn prices above $7 per bushel in 2012 and good returns for growers, but acres have dwindled over the last couple years. Most of the province’s grain corn comes from the eastern side of the province, but farmers in southwestern Manitoba are also apathetic about corn. “It doesn’t seem like anybody is expanding acres and I don’t hear a lot of new guys… that are going to try it this year,” said Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture crop production adviser in Souris. The corn story is more positive in southern Alberta, where seeding is poised for growth compared to 2015. Alberta farmers seeded about 40,000 acres of grain corn last year, according to Stats Can. Seed sales were relatively strong throughout the winter and local demand for corn, from cattle feedlots, is increasing. “The difference in the CanadianU.S. dollar has given (corn) an advantage (with)…. livestock feeding operations converting over to corn,” said Lloyd Van Eeden Petersman, of Taber Home and Farm Centre.

Alberta may see stronger interest in corn acres, where farmers are investing in grain dryers to boost production. | FILE PHOTO Farmers in southern Alberta are investing in grain dryers and other machinery to grow corn, so the long-term prospects are promising, Petersman said. “Acres continue to climb slowly…. Across the larger area in Alberta grazing acres continue to grow the most. (Producers) are seeing the value in grazing corn as compared to barley grazing.”

A big drop in North American dry bean acreage and production problems around the world should provide some price support to the crop, according to an analyst. Statistics Canada is forecasting 230,000 acres of beans, down 12 percent from last year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects 1.56 million acres, a 12 percent drop from 2015. But as Brian Clancey, editor of Stat Publishing notes, this year’s U.S. estimate is missing numbers from Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, South Dakota and Wisconsin. He believes adding those states back in would bump up plantings to 1.62 million acres and reduce the drop to eight percent. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said that’s still a big reduction in North American beans. “It’s more of a drop than I had expected,” he said. “It will be positive for the market. Having fewer beans out there will support prices.” That is already happening south of the border. “(Prices) have been edging higher in the States but at the same time as that has been happening our dollar has been strengthening, so our prices here have been basically flat,” said Penner. Clancey sees a 7.6 percent drop in U.S. production in 2016, which would be supportive for prices. The USDA did not provide a breakdown of acreage by class of bean but in a recent article on the Stat website Clancey estimated land in black beans will be down significantly with smaller reductions in pinto and navy beans. Another factor propping up prices is the ongoing problems with the Mexican crop. They began with the summer crop, which accounts for three-quarters of Mexican bean production. The U.S. Dry Bean Council estimates drought cut summer production to 800,000 tonnes, well

below the initial projection of 1.1 million tonnes. There was also quality damage in key bean growing states of Zacatecas, Durango and Chihuahua. Penner said farmers are wrapping up harvesting the winter crop, which has also faced production challenges. “They didn’t recover much based on that,” he said. Mexico recently expanded its quota for bean imports from nonNAFTA countries to 150,000 tonnes from 100,000 tonnes. “They recognize that they have a shortage, so bean prices have been rising in Mexico. I think there is a little more strength possible in the old crop side,” said Penner. Canada exports few beans to Mexico but the U.S. does and Canada gets the spillover effect by restocking U.S. supplies. There are also potential problems looming in Argentina, an exporter of white alubia beans. Harvest rains have damaged Argentina’s soybean crop. Penner said the dry bean growing area is in the northwest region of the country where the rains were not as heavy but there could still be quality damage. “We’re still trying to figure out what impact the rains will have,” he said. One long-term threat for bean growers is China’s decision to eliminate its corn price support program. That could eventually cause Chinese growers to shift some corn acres into other crops such as beans. Clancey noted in another recent article that Chinese bean plantings that peaked at 3.56 million acres in 2002 have plummeted to an estimated 2.19 million acres in 2016 due to stiff competition from corn. China exported 499,000 tonnes of beans in 2015, with kidney beans accounting for almost two-thirds of annual exports followed by mung beans and small red beans. That export total could grow in coming years if acreage and production rises but Clancey believes it may take a couple of years to push plantings back up to 2.5 million acres. sean.pratt@producer.com

GRAIN GRADING

Unfair grading system for U.S. wheat a growing concern HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

hallmark of many successful leaders is an ability to spot incoming problems a long way out and disarm or deflect them before they become a problem. Canada’s grain industry, a global grain leader, has failed to do that with one present problem, but probably still has a chance to dodge

another one. The issue is the simmering U.S. annoyance with Canada’s rules on American grain delivered to Canadian grain elevators. Currently, any driveway-delivered U.S. wheat gets classed as feed regardless of its variety or characteristics, due to being foreign. But Canadian farmers can load trucks and ship the other direction and get graded just like any other load of grain. That’s an unfair situation, and it’s beginning to aggravate our biggest trading partner. The issue isn’t too big a deal — yet. Americans seldom want to deliver to our elevators and the problem is mostly theoretical. However, when a year comes when

Canada has higher prices and better movement than the U.S., there’s a problem waiting to explode. U.S. farmers probably won’t react well to being prevented from doing what they have seen Canadian farmers do for years: cross the border and sell grain fairly. Situation now Failing to perceive or quickly dispatch a problem can cause significant and lasting damage, as we’re seeing now with the slump in wheat quality standards caused by low-gluten strength varieties and the end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly powers. Canada and the U.S. both have problems with spring wheat quali-

ty slipping in the last few years, a problem mostly provoked by farmers switching to high-yielding varieties like Prosper and Faller. However, Canada has always had a better quality and consistency reputation than the U.S., something that was partly due to the ability of Canada’s grain industry structure, including CWB oversight, to focus on meeting or exceeding customer expectations. When the CWB monopoly disappeared, so did its customerfocused oversight of the quality of grain, and things began to go awry. Some of the problems were inevitable, with the new varieties messing up comfortable assumptions about predictable wheat quality, but I can’t believe the

CWB wouldn’t have been able to better monitor true grain quality on the Prairies and make sure the right customers got the right wheat. By not being able to do that, and having this problem go on for a number of years, Canadian grain marketers lose some of their ability to demand premiums on Canadian wheat, and that’s money that never ends up in the farmer’s pocket. With any luck the industry and bodies like the Canadian Grain Commission will be able to eliminate the low-gluten strength issue with the introduction of the new wheat class that will hold those types of varieties. ed.white@producer.com

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE WEAK

at 79,409 head Prices are expected to be steady.

Alberta fed steer weighed average prices were $165.63 per hundredweight, up $2.15 and heifers were $160.63 down $3 last week. The heifer price was the lowest this year. Dressed sales ranged $270.50-$275.50 delivered. While the Western Canadian market was struggling, it was doing better than the American market which was under pressure from rainy weather that discouraged grilling, falling wholesale beef prices and ample market ready cattle supply. Chicago cattle futures fell. Alberta cash cattle were at an $11.18 premium to Nebraska cattle. Prices fell short of breakeven, but the Canadian market was still signaling to sell cattle. There were rumblings of May contract cattle being pulled ahead of schedule. Premiums were paid for quick delivery cattle. Sales for the week of May 9 were $278-$280 delivered. Bids for the second half of May delivery were $265 and for June delivery were $252-$257. The basis against the June Chicago lean cattle contract was +$6 to +$10 and was stronger than the five-year average. Recently, more fed calves have been offered, but supplies remain manageable. Last fall few calves were exported compared to 2014, which would indicate fed supplies would be larger into the second half of this year. With larger fed supplies on the horizon Prices in the second half of the year could see a greater than usual decline. There is a risk the summer market could fall back to the low $140s or lower. Cash cattle in the southern U.S. Plains fetched US$124 per cwt., down $3 from the week before, while in the North prices were down $5.

COW PRICES RISE D1, D2 cows ranged C$95-$108 to average $101.25, up 42 cents D3 cows ranged $82-$97 to average $90.50, up $1.67. Dressed bids were steady at around $195$200 per cwt. delivered. Butcher bulls fell 91 cents to average $127.82. Weekly Western Canadian non-fed slaughter to April 23 rose 19 percent to 6,721 head. Slaughter this year is up 12 percent at 116,556 head. Weekly exports to April 16 were steady at 5,199 head. This year exports are down nine percent

FEEDER PRICE LOWER On average, feeder steers fell $3.50 per cwt. last week and heifers were down almost $8 on lackluster demand and falling futures. Steers 400-600 pounds fell $1-$3 and heifers were down $5.50-$8.50. Feeders 600-800 lb. traded $2-$5.50 lower. Heifers heavier than 800 lb. fell sharply. Negative feeding margins on summer grass and in the feedlot continue to limit demand. Sale volumes seasonally tightened 17 percent to 19,255 head. For the year auction volume is down four percent. Weekly feeder exports to April 16 were 8,040 head. For the year they are down 55 percent. Prices have fallen enough and the cattle futures market is so low that feedlots can’t manage their risk and mitigate negative feeding margins. Grass interest remains limited but should help in coming weeks Bred cows ranged $1,600 to $2,100 and cow-calf pairs ranged $1,800-$2,950.

U.S. BEEF FALL The U.S. Choice cutout was US$212.50, down $8.22 per cwt. and Select was $203.09, down $9.68. Although beef fell, so did cattle prices allowing packers to maintain positive margins and increase slaughter rates. Packers are current in their marketing and carcass weights are falling, although still heavier than last year at this time. The lower wholesale beef price should encourage retailers to feature beef and boost demand, which was put off last summer by the record high prices. Weekly Canadian cutout values to April 16 saw AAA rise C$2.88 to $284.20 and AA rise $5.22 to $278.75. The AAA/AA spread usually widen in spring, but this year it has narrowed in five of the past six weeks, from $11 in early March to $5 in mid-April. Reduced AA production supported its price. The AAAChoice spread narrowed to -41 cents per cwt. while the AA-Select spread was at +$6.41.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS FIRM Market ready hog supply continued to tighten as it normally does this time of year. Traders are closely watching demand as the spring grilling season gets underway. Beef prices have come down, and might present more competition. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$49-$51.50 per hundredweight April 28, steady with $48.50-$50 April 22. U.S. hogs averaged $69.28 on a carcass basis Apr. 28, up from $65.64 April 22. The U.S. pork cutout was $82.54 per cwt. April 28, up from $79.79 Apr 22. The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to April 28 was 2.139 million, down from 2.241 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.151 million last year at the same time. The Maple Leaf Signature Three price was C$71.32 per cwt. or $157.23 per 100 kilograms, up from $68.38 and $150.76 the week before.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$6 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.45 with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs. Grade A heifers sold up to C$5.75 U.S.

buyers are offering US$4.35. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

LAMBS STEADY TO STRONGER Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 488 sheep and 79 goats sold April 25. Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $225$275 per cwt., 55 to 69 lb. were $229-$275, 70 to 85 lb. were $229-$258, 86 to 105 lb. were $190-$229 and 106 lb. and heavier were $150-$196. Wool rams were $70-$87.50 per cwt. Cull ewes were $70-$150. Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $220$265 per cwt., 55 to 69 lb. were $221-$260, 70 to 85 lb. were $221-$250, 86 to 105 lb. were $188-$219 and 106 lb. and heavier were $140-$176. Hair rams were $75-$95 per cwt. Cull ewes were $72-$101. Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $250$275. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $270-$345. Those heavier than 70 lb. were $277.50-$325 per cwt. Nannies were $100-$215 per cwt. Billies were $185-$255. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 2,162 sheep and lambs and 42 goats traded April 25. New crop lambs traded at barely steady prices with heavy lambs strong. Good lean sheep sold at a premium. Both really thin and thicker types again sold under pressure. Goats held steady.

CROPS

Markets adjust to reflect S.American problems, La Nina risk MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

Prepare market plan to react quickly to weather scares

irst I offer an apology for errors in a graphic about lentils versus wheat in last week’s paper. A corrected version appears this week on page 18.

The weather this week is expected to be conducive to rapid advancement in seeding in Western Canada and the American Midwest. The U.S. had good rainfall last week and so has lots of moisture to get the crop off to a good start. On the Prairies, western Alberta and central Saskatchewan are dry. Large areas on either side the Alberta-Saskatchewan border recently enjoyed much needed moisture. The weather is always a critical factor in crop production. If the weather co-operates this year, allowing Canadian and American farmers to produce average yields, supply will again be ample and prices of the major crop will likely be limited. Conditions this spring in Europe,

Russia and even Ukraine are good for crops. But there was a surprise ending to Argentina’s soybean crop, with excessive rain at harvest, hammering its production down to about 56 million from 60 million previously. And dr y weather in Brazil is shrinking forecasts for its second corn crop by several million tonnes. These production problems helped perked up crop futures markets over the past two weeks. Commodity and hedge funds poured money into crop markets as part of a wave of investment into commodities in general but also in recognition of the production problems in South America. Funds were also positioning to take account of the potential for a La Nina to develop in time to affect

weather during the North American summer growing season. A rapid transition from an El Nino to a La Nina has, at times, contributed to drought in North America’s major crop growing regions. In the same time frame, it can support wetter than normal conditions on the other side the Pacific, in Australia, India, Indonesia and Malaysia. Ideas that palm production will recover in the second half of this year after being trimmed by dry weather over the winter have been weighing down palm prices recently and that affects vegetable oil prices in general. It is impossible to say with certainty what the weather will be this growing season but we might be on safer ground to say that the market psychology is pumped up to be on the watch for weather disruptions.

This could generate more price volatility. The rallies might climb higher, but the declines could also be sharp if the weather worries prove unfounded and we return to a focus on ample supply. And the big price moves might happen rapidly. So if you are looking for opportunities to price crop, it would be worthwhile to talk with your market adviser to set some price triggers so your wishes are carried out even though you might be too busy with production issues to be following closely a fast moving market. darce.mcmillan@producer.com

CRAIG’S VIEW

BEEF INDUSTRY

Cattle producers justified in outrage over Earls decision

oodbye, Earl. That’s the title of song by the Dixie Chicks, an American group that originated a few states away from where Earls Kitchen and Bar chain says it will now get all its beef. The Earl of the song came to a sad end, but the Alberta-founded and Canadianoperated chain here will likely survive, albeit without cattle producers, “agvocates” and a good portion of other beef supporters patronizing their 56 Canadian restaurants. Earls said it can’t find enough supply in Canada to meet specifications that its beef come from “certified humane” operations that raise cattle without the use of antibiotics or steroids. Instead, it will import beef from Kansas. Like A & W did before it, Earls made a marketing decision that it presumably hopes will differentiate its outlets and give it a competitive edge against similar casual dining establishments. But just as A & W’s “better beef” claim implied that conventionally raised beef was inferior, Earls demand for “certified humane” implies that Canadian beef is somehow lax in its treatment of beef animals. That is wrong, and cattle producers are justifiably outraged. Humane handling of cattle has never had a higher profile in Canada than it does right now. The Canadian Beef Code of Practice was recently updated. The Canadian R o u n d t a b l e f o r Su s t a i na b l e B e e f includes humane animal treatment in its mandates. Research projects on cattle health, cattle feed, pain mitigation and transport have been funded for years. And that’s just for starters. Perhaps what’s lacking is a specific, credible, Canadian body authorized to “certify” that existing practices are

humane. The beef industry has been too slow to develop its own form of the desired certification, or at least too slow for restaurant marketing plans. It has been lulled by its confidence in the truth: that Canadian cattle are raised humanely, grown economically and provide meat free of antibiotics. The Virginia-based Certified Humane organization, which Earls is using, supports proper care of food animals. So does another Virginia-based organization called Animal Welfare Approved. What does that mean? Nothing more than what Canadian producers already provide. The Earls announcement is another burr under the saddle for an industry that has done Alberta and Canada proud. It rankles, because agriculture and beef production are thought to be among the few economic bright spots. Hence the level of outrage. The cattle business has always thought big. Maybe Earls has given it a prompt to think smaller and present its advantages in bite-sized pieces. Slice that overarching sustainable beef project into one arm that certifies humane handling. Establish a separate arm that explains beef is free of antibiotics. Create a third arm that addresses steroid use and its environmental benefits. Serve each dish separately so restaurants like Earls, and their patrons, can easily consume them. The Canadian beef industry has all the needed ingredients and they are still among the best in the world.

MARKETING SPIN

Though I understand the job of the Alberta beef lobbyists is to lobby for their product, it seems unfortunate that they are distorting what is really good news for animal welfare. CATE SIMPSON EARLS RESTAURANTS (SEE PAGE 5)

SHUFFLE

Former NDP MP joins Green Party as eastern ag critic CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

he Green Party of Canada has added a second agriculture critic to its ranks. Former NDP MP Jean Rousseau, who lost his seat to Liberal Cabinet Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau, has jumped ship and joined the fold of the Green party. Rousseau, who hails from Quebec, has been named the party’s agriculture critic for Eastern Canada. He will also serve as the party’s forestry critic. Green party Leader Elizabeth May a n n o u n c e d R o u s s e a u ’s appointment at a news conference in Ottawa May 2.

“I’m really thrilled that Jean Rousseau, former member of Parliament for Compton-Stanstead, has decided to join the Green party and has, today, accepted a role in my shadow cabinet,” May said. Manitoba farmer Kate Storey will remain the party’s agriculture critic in Western Canada, May said, adding the party has historically had two agriculture critics. (Sharon Labchuck, who most recently served as Green party leader in Prince Edward Island, is the last to have served as the party’s eastern agriculture critic.) Rousseau’s leap from the NDP to the Greens comes as the NDP continues to try and find its footing in Ottawa after its devastating loss in last October’s election. On May 2, the former Quebec MP said his decision to leave the NDP was prompted by the party’s lack of action on environmental files and its inability to defend small-scale, niche agriculture producers. “The NDP has an interesting agri-

culture platform, but we always forget the little producers,” Rousseau said in French. “There are significant numbers of small producers in Quebec. Huge amounts. Huge amounts.” “Agriculture in Quebec is not the same as agriculture in Western Canada or other parts of Canada,” he stressed. “We have a lot of small family farms … who need help, especially around getting new products to market.” The NDP, he said, had no plan in its

Time is ticking to move forward with TPP BY BRIAN INNES

ANADA CANNOT miss the boat on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. As the gateway to the high-growth Pacific Rim, British Columbia is the conduit for 65 percent of Canada’s exports of a variety of products, agriculture and agri-food being among the most important and going to over 150 markets, mostly through the Port of Vancouver. Canada’s agriculture and food exporters are in strong support of seeing the TPP being ratified, at the earliest opportunity. We enjoy the kind of favourable conditions that allow us to produce more than our population needs, so the Canadian agri-food sector is largely exportdependent. However, we still have competitors and we need to have comparable terms of access in world markets in order to maintain our ability to retain and grow our exports. The clock is ticking. It has been six months since the TPP was concluded in Atlanta after five years of intense negotiations. As Canadians continue to debate this agreement, the rest of the world is not standing still. There are many other separate trade deals negotiated and readied for implementation as these, and, hopefully, the TPP enter into force, the status quo will not be an option. The stakes are high, with hundreds of millions of dollars in beef, pork, grain and oilseed exports hanging in the balance. We cannot afford to watch the rest of the Asia-Pacific region — and our competitors — move on without us. For hundreds of thousands of

FILE ILLUSTRATION

Canadian farmers, producers, processors and exporters, the TPP is integral to their future economic viability. It is critical to the hundreds of thousands of jobs and substantial economic contributions that those businesses generate. These are the facts. The TPP is a massive trade deal that will open up new opportunities in a number of fast-growing markets along the Pacific Rim. With the U.S. and Japan at its core, the trading bloc represents 800 million people, encompassing 40 percent of the world’s gross domestic product. Additional access to the U.S.,

Japan, Vietnam and Malaysia appear to be the major market gains for Canadian agriculture and agri-food exporters. Under a ratified TPP, tariffs will be removed or phased out upon entry into force on a wide range of agricultural commodities in key markets. It would make Canadian products available in markets that have traditionally been closed or limited. Also, as an original member, Canada will be able to negotiate concessions from new entrants to the accord. What is at stake? The TPP preserves Canada’s privileged access to our number one trading partner

— the U.S. It secures unprecedented access to the fast-growing Asia Pacific region. It provides an opportunity to obtain more value from rapidly growing Asia-Pacific markets like Vietnam and Malaysia and high value markets such as Japan. Most importantly, the TPP puts us on an equal footing with our global competitors in the region. With 65 percent of Canada’s agriculture and agri-food exports already going to the TPP region, being on the outside means billions of dollars of existing exports would be at risk if competitors gain preferred access. Beyond the current advantages, the markets available to Canadian goods exported under the TPP are set to grow with the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and, Indonesia all expressing interest in joining. Once implemented, the impact of the TPP will be felt throughout the Pacific gateway region, and extend across the country. From the railways that feed into the system to the suppliers, farmers and grainhandling facilities, the TPP’s benefits will be all-encompassing for B.C. and the entire Canadian economy. As the saying goes, a high tide lifts all boats. With the TPP on the horizon, the tide is coming. We dare not miss the boat.

FAMILY BUSINESS

Ode to those behind the scenes at seeding HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

EEDING CAN BE the most stressful part of the production cycle. So many details must be attended and a lot of activities have to line up before the seeding outfit is rolling down the field. This goes beyond running the sprayer, treating seed, buying inoculant and crop protection products, hauling water and figuring out quirks in the GPS guidance. More credit should be heaped on those behind the scenes that keep the frontline troops fighting the battles. Many of those tasks fall upon the women in the farm family. In these times of political correctness, you’re

not supposed to assign roles to the sexes, but in the vast majority of cases, the people running the seeders and sprayers are men. The people behind the scenes are often women. Whoever fills this back-up role, they often don’t get enough credit. We run a farm operation without a full time female influence. My long-suffering spouse toils to get the cabin trailers ready for habitation in the spring and cooks a large number of microwavable meals, but she isn’t at the farm full time. Most of us grew up in a traditional family setting where you never had to worry about a whole host of messy necessity of life details during busy seasons. You don’t really appreciate how much work is involved until you have to do it yourself. Meals were always prepared and you never had to find time to buy your own groceries. The dishes were always done and you never ran out of milk, bread or drinking water. With two to four guys going vari-

ous directions trying to keep the seeding operation moving forward, it’s amazing how fast dirty dishes pile up. Eventually they get washed and put away, but it’s no small task particularly if left to the end of a long day. Laundry doesn’t magically do itself either and there’s no way to stay clean while working around equipment. In our case, we typically haul laundry into town and hire someone to wash it. The farm isn’t equipped with wash facilities. But it’s still another task that takes time and doesn’t magically happen. Thankfully, my spouse is the bookkeeper and she keeps on top of that even when she isn’t at the farm. If it was my task, there would be a tremendous backlog of entries before seeding was finished. People who don’t run the seeder or sprayer and who don’t fix equipment when it breaks down still often serve as couriers to get people and equipment from the yard to the field or from one field to anoth-

er. And they often end up running for parts and supplies. For people with young kids, parenting duties fall even more heavily on the mom during seeding. The kids may only catch fleeting glimpses of their dad. He’s out of the house long before they wake up and he may not be back to the house until after their bedtime. So if you think you’re busy at seeding time as you try to cope with the myriad of details to keep the seeder going down the field, appreciate any behind-the-scenes backup help you may be receiving. Don’t take meals, laundry, courier service, bookkeeping and child rearing for granted. The seeder doesn’t run if the operators don’t eat and there are only so many waking hours in a day to try to accomplish all the work. Credit the work behind the main action.

Calculating what went wrong EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

arm math is a wonderful thing. It may not be correct to the sixth decimal, but it does paint a picture. Alas, as readers are now aware, some journalists are known to have chosen their profession because math isn’t the vocation for them. Last week, we published a Page 7 graphic on the case for growing lentils instead of wheat, which many farmers are considering this year. The idea was to show that a quarter section of wheat would fill more than four super B trucks, which would have a total gross value of $43,084. For lentils, the production would fill a little more than two super Bs with a total gross value of $158,312. But the wording of the graphic said the dollar value applied to each Super B truckload instead of the whole quarter section. And we compounded this with a calculation error. This was a team effort. We have republished that graphic today on Page 18, with corrections. I have a book called A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper, by math professor John Allen Paulos. It’s an interesting read on how numbers are, shall we say, misspent in many newspaper articles. Craig Silverman, the man behind the Regret The Error initiative, notes that The West Australian newspaper once corrected its misuse of numbers by observing that “As mathematicians, journalists make fine geishas.” Silverman gives five reasons for mistakes journalist make with numbers. The British Broadcasting Corp. adds four more in its journalism blog. We are acutely aware of this. We deal with numbers all the time and we’re actually very good at math. Our markets and ag finance sections are accurate and well read. Still, when it comes to math missteps, we are in good company. My favourite math mistake comes from NASA. I have visited its launch facility in Florida several times. The space agency boasts that it gets the top engineers from the top engineering schools. Yet in 1999, NASA lost a $125-million Mars orbiter because instructions from Earth were transmitted in imperial measurements, while the orbiter was programmed to use metric. I’ve always wondered what the brains in the room first said when that mistake came to light. I know what’s said in the newsroom when gaffes are discovered – you don’t want to be there. brian.macleod@producer.com

Re: New Draconian Liberal gun control legislation , Bill S-223. It didn’t take long for the new Liberal government to table new guncontrol laws. It’s pretty obvious they didn’t learn a thing from the $2-billion dollar boondoggle of C-68 Recently, retiring senator Celine Payette debated her gun control bill, S-223, at second reading in the Senate. S-223 does a complete overhaul of current firearm laws. Her draconian approach follows the British law, which would not permit the possession of firearms in your home. Guns would have to

locked up in a gun club storage vault. All semi auto firearms would be banned. All use of restricted firearms would be outlawed. She believes that the only guns that should be used are hunting rifles, shotguns, and 22 caliber. After lawful use of these long guns, they would have to be returned to the gun club storage vault. Any firearms used in competition would have to be transported by bonded commercial carriers. A plain crazy suggestion. Bill S-223 also repeals all the changes made by bill C-42. After all the wars fought by the lawful firearm community since 1991, the political class has little regard for lawful firearm owner-

ship in Canada . This new gun control bill demonstrates that the Liberal party basically wants to outlaw the ownership and lawful use of firearms in Canada. Liberals believe that no guns will eliminate all gun crimes in society. How naive. Criminals don’t follow laws. S-223 will be retiring Senator Peyette’s legacy. This bill, if passed, will eliminate nearly all ownership and recreational use of firearms in Canada. It’s time for all firearm owners to call or write elected representatives to show their opposition to Bill S-223. Inky Mark Dauphin, Man.

DON’T PASS ALONG WATER To the Editor: The Western Producer’s March 17 issue contained a letter from Albert Schryvers of Quill Lake, Sask., regarding Quill Lakes flooding. Schryvers did indicate his experience in the matter, as well as history of the issue. In the past few years there has been a plethora of media items regarding this. Every one of those items, no matter who they are from, only touches a portion of the problem, and more importantly, have almost a nonsolution. Sask. Water Security was trying to promote the establishment of a water channel to drain Quill Lakes into Long Lake. I did attend one of those idea meetings and I did tell them that they wanted to pass the problem to someone else and not solve it. All farmers who ditch are doing that. In plain words, they are passing multiple times increasing the “downstream” recipient problem. That is not a solution. There are a lot of areas in Saskatchewan that have basically the same problem. The proper solution would be not to do, nor promote this. Thank you Albert Schryvers for your letter. Delwyn Jansen Humboldt, Sask.

Did anyone expect anything positive from Edmonton NDP convention in view of the attendance and negative attitude from Ontario and Quebec toward Western Canada? Rejecting pipeline construction came as no surprise. There exists a serious disconnect between the two provinces and Canada. Fossil energy needs a loud and unified voice for power and influence. The environmental movement has its own axe to grind. Without a doubt, fossil energy will steer all global propulsion long into the foreseeable future, including air travel, waterways, ground-travel and agriculture. Today, Canada needs to improve her export facilities and leave the problems of global warming to future generations. As of today, humans will continue consuming fossil fuel in the sky, on land, across waters and underground. Without a doubt there will exist a huge volume of ice in the Antarctic, along with penguins by the thousands, mountainsides covered with California poppies and Tuscon, Arizona, wheat fields at Carrot River, Sask., along with icebergs and polar bears in Churchill, Man. It is hoped that countries will be careful with their taxation funds before they go up in smoke by greenhouse hysteria. John Seierstad Tisdale, Sask.

SEEDING INTENTIONS

Flax industry develops plan to reverse crop’s waning fortunes Group hopes to bolster average yields and double exports over the next decade BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

You know it is time to come up with a new strategic plan for flax when growers say they intend to cut their acres by one-third. Farmers told Statistics Canada they would plant 1.12 million acres of the oilseed in 2016, a 32 percent decline from last year. That is the biggest percentage drop of any of the principal crops. “Everybody looked at it and said, ‘Wow, look at flax. It may be going nowhere,’” said Don Kerr, president of the Flax Council of Canada. “I just wanted to put out a different perspective on that in that there are things going on in flax. We’re not dead yet. We’ve been around 5,000 years and we’re going to continue being around.” The industry has developed a strategic plan to reverse the waning fortunes of the crop. The plan is to increase average flax yields five bushels per acre by 2020 and 10 bushels per acre by 2025. Six of the 10-bushel increase will be accomplished by communicating evolving best management practices. Kerr said there are a number of promising flax agronomy research initiatives underway that should generate useful data for growers. That data will be disseminated by the council’s newly hired extension agronomist through extension meetings, field days, one-on-one agronomy discussions and social media. Another two bushel per acre increase will be achieved by conventional breeding research. The council wants to stabilize and maintain the one remaining flax breeding program in Canada, which is Helen Booker’s program out of the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre. The final two bushels will come through the new field of gene editing. The first example of that is expected to be Cibus’s herbicide tolerant flax, which is expected to be commercialized in Canada in 2020. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, thinks the yield goals are attainable because many farmers are already consistently achieving 25 to 30 bushels per acre by employing best management practices. “While extracting more yield from flax is a little tougher than some other crops, I think that is quite doable,” he said. The council expects flax plantings to reach 2.1 million acres by 2025, up from 1.7 million acres in 2015, while production will be 1.7 million tonnes, up from one million tonnes last year. Penner is more skeptical about

the acreage goal because canola, pulse and other commodity groups are all forecasting increased plantings for their crops. “ They can’t all win because there’s only a finite amount of acres,” he said. Exports are forecast to double to 1.4 million tonnes over the next 10 years. “It’s a very ambitious target. Absolutely,” said Kerr. “But is it a target that is out of reach or out of the question? No it’s not. I think it’s reasonable.” China is expected to lead the way with 550,000 tonnes of imports in 2025, up from 353,000 tonnes in 2015.

“To look at a growth in China of where we are projecting is not out of the question at all,” he said. Kerr said Chinese feed manufacturers are keen on using the crop in rations. The European Union is forecast to be in a tie for second, importing 300,000 tonnes of Canadian flax, up from 156,000 tonnes last year. The projected growth in that market is predicated on the EU adopting a low level presence policy for GM contamination, which would allow Canadian flax to be used for food purposes. “We’d certainly welcome the opportunity to compete with

Kazakhstan,” he said. The “other” categor y is also expected to be importing 300,000 tonnes, up from 49,000 tonnes. That 500 percent increase would mostly come from new business to India, which doesn’t buy any flax today. The council believes India is a good target market. It has a large vegetarian population. Flax is well suited to the meals consumed by those Hindu and Muslim vegetarians. And India is facing similar health issues as other countries where flax is proving beneficial. Sales to the United States are forecast to increase to 250,000 tonnes

from 150,000 tonnes. Kerr said the council has been focusing its marketing efforts the past few years on the food market due to the recent health claim. While that will remain a focus, he wants to expand the marketing efforts to include feed and industrial markets. Penner didn’t have much of an issue with any of the export targets. “The only fly in the ointment I guess is that compared to a few years ago countries like Russia and Kazakhstan are bigger competitors,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

CONTRACT PAYMENTS

Farmer raises concerns about final payment shortfalls G3 officials indicate “some complications” related to transition of CWB pool accounts BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

If good things come to those who wait, then someone owes Cory Schell an explanation. The grain farmer from Richmound, Sask., waited nearly 18 months to get paid for a 540 tonne wheat delivery that he made to CWB in the summer of 2014. When his final payment arrived in April 2016, the cheque was thousands of dollars less than what he was expecting, based on pool return outlooks (PROs) for the CWB’s 2014-15 pool programs.

A second wheat delivery in early 2015 yielded similarly disappointing returns. Schell delivered another 1,388 tonnes of No. 2 red spring wheat, 11 percent protein. The wheat was contracted into CWB’s 2014-15 annual pool and was delivered in late May or early June, before the pool’s July 31, 2015 delivery deadline. Final payments for that delivery were also well below expectations, based on PROs throughout the pooling period. By Schell’s calculations, the total payments he received for nearly 1,930 tonnes of wheat were roughly

$40,000 less than what they should have been and possibly as much as $75,000 short. Schell reckons he netted roughly $4.50 a bushel, about $1 a bushel less than he’d thought. “It’s ridiculous,” he said in a recent interview. “The cash price of spring wheat never ever fell below $5 in 2015 and I’ve proved that to them.” “In fact, even the price of feed wheat barely ever fell below $5 that year, so how they came up with $4.50 a bushel net for No. 2 CWRS, I’ll never know.” When the post single-desk CWB

began offering pool pricing in the newly de-regulated wheat market in 2012, it promoted its voluntary pooling programs as “an excellent risk management tool that provides a solid return from the entire pooling period.” Promotional materials distributed by CWB stated that farmers who used voluntary pooling would “never be left chasing an elusive market high or settling for the bottom.” In the summer of 2014, Schell was anticipating a good harvest and was looking for an opportunity to move some spring wheat quickly. CWB’s early delivery pool seemed

like a good option. Schell sat down with a CWB agent and together, they determined that the net price — after deductions for freight and elevation — would be around $5.50 a bushel. PROs are not price guarantees but they are intended as a reasonably accurate estimate of gross returns. During the pooling period, the PROs for No. 2 Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat, 11 percent protein, delivered to CWB’s early delivery pool ranged from a l o w o f ro u g h l y $ 2 3 0 a t o n n e (approximately $6.26 a bushel), up to a high of roughly $287 a tonne in late March, 2014 (approximately $7.81 a bushel). Deductions for freight and handling were estimated by the CWB in the range of $1.40 to $1.50 a bushel. Comfortable that his farmgate returns — after all deductions — would be in the neighbourhood of $5.50 a bushel, Schell delivered roughly 540 tonnes to the CWB’s early delivery pool in August 2014 and another 1,388 tonnes to the CWB’s annual pool in the spring of 2015. Schell hauled his grain to the Great Sandhills Terminal in Leader, Sask. At the time, that facility had an agreement to handle CWB grain but was still controlled by local shareholders. As per usual practice, Schell received an initial payment for a portion of his grain’s value upon delivery. The remaining value was supposed to be paid out in interim payments with a final payment to be issued when the actual pool returns were known. According to Schell, that’s when things started to go south. Within a few months of making his spring 2015 delivery, the Great Sandhills facility was sold to CWB in a deal valued at approximately $17.5 million. A few months later, the voluntary CWB was taken over by G3 Global Grain Group, a joint venture involving Bunge Canada and the Saudi Agriculture and Land Investment Company (SALIC). Schell’s grain was contracted to the CWB but by the time his final payments were issued, the CWB no longer existed. After waiting more than a year for his final payments, Schell began to grow curious about the status of his contracts. Needing the additional cashflow, he called G3 pool managers several times in late 2015 and early 2016. When he asked why he hadn’t received a final payment for grain that was delivered more than a year earlier, he was told that the CWB pool accounts were taking longer than expected to settle. G3 officials indicated there were some complications related to the transition of CWB pool accounts to G3, he said. In retrospect, Schell said his decision to sell grain into the CWB’s voluntary pool programs was a costly mistake. The final payments were a huge disappointment, but Schell felt he has no option but to accept the payments and absorb the lost value. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The only other alternative, he said, was to initiate a lawsuit against CWB — an organization that no longer exists — or against G3. “They took our pooled grain, got the money for it, and built all of these new elevators,” said Schell.

Even if I’d have sold that grain into the feed market, I’d have made more money. I don’t know where the missing dollars went, but obviously they’re gone.” CORY SCHELL GRAIN FARMER

“Even if I’d have sold that grain into the feed market, I’d have made more money.” “I don’t know where the missing dollars went, but obviously they’re gone.” Dave Simonot, manager of pool accounts with G3 Global Grain Group, acknowledged that there were delays in settling the 2014-15 pool accounts. He said it took longer than expected to get pooled CWB grain into sales position, due to CWB’s commercial handling agreements as well as other factors beyond G3’s control. “We didn’t achieve completion as quickly as we’d like ourselves but some of it (was due to) the movement of the grain,” he said.

Simonot said that the process used to settle CWB pool accounts did not change after the G3 takeover. Delays in settling the 2014-15 pool accounts would not have significantly affected final returns for producers, he added. “In terms of how they (the pool accounts) were settled, I would … start by saying there wasn’t anything unusual about how they were settled, other than they were later than typical.” Simonot said global grain markets softened throughout the 201415 pooling periods. In a declining market, farmers should recalculate their expected net returns based on the most recent PRO issued, he added. But that doesn’t always happen. Simonot said farmers often raise concerns over smaller-thanexpected pool returns in a declining market. But net returns from CWB’s 201415 pool programs were very close to what one would expect, based on changing market conditions, he said. “I believe our final returns were pretty close to what our last PROs were,” Simonot said. “It would certainly be nowhere close to $1 a bushel (less).” G3 also offered a pool cashout option that allows farmers to take a cash settlement for pooled grain rather than waiting for their final payments. “We did issue a number of payments through that program earlier than the final payment so we were trying to remedy that situation as much as we could for those farmers to ensure that they had

their cash flow.” This is not the first time that concerns have been raised about the settlement of CWB pool accounts. A group of western Canadian farmers is currently seeking certification for a class action lawsuit that alleges money from CWB pool accounts was not properly accounted for during the 2011-12 crop year. A certification hearing in that case is expected to take place in October. Complaints have also been leveled about the lack of transparency surrounding CWB business that took place during a three year-period between Aug. 1, 2012 — the date that CWB lost its single-desk marketing mandate — and August 1, 2015 — the day the marketing agency was taken over by G3 Canada. During that three-year period, CWB was no longer operating as single desk entity, but it was still operating with financial backing from the federal government and was still obligated to submit annual reports to the Parliament of Canada. Despite that, none of the CWB’s annual reports during the threeyear period have been made public. Prior to the last federal election, the former Conservative government in Ottawa refused to share any financial details of the CWB’s business dealings, citing the need for commercial confidentiality at a time when the agency’s top managers were seeking a buyer or commercial partner. brian.cross@producer.com

The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation is not surprised that rural landowners want to require hunters to ask permission to enter private land. Access and permission issues arise all the time, said executive director Darrell Crabbe. At the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention in March, delegates passed two resolutions asking for changes to the Wildlife Act so that hunters would have to obtain permission to hunt on unposted land.

The SWF and environment ministry both recommend hunters ask landowners, whether land is posted or not, but that is becoming harder to do as farmers operate increasingly larger farms, don’t have landline telephones or are absentee landowners, Crabbe said. “A lot don’t post this land,” he said. “How do you contact these people?” Both Crabbe and Rich Hildebrand, a Prince Albert conservation officer, say it is simple common courtesy to ask for permission in any situation. If hunters don’t ask, and there is trouble, landowners will start to post more land and make access that much more difficult, Hildebrand said. He also said there are some hunting zones in the southeast that do require big game hunters to have written permission to drive vehicles on roads and trails on private land. “Just because the land is not posted does not give the hunter implied right of access,” Hildebrand said. And just because land is posted doesn’t mean a hunter couldn’t be granted access by the owner. The onus is on landowners to post their property. Signs are to be placed prominently along the boundaries of the land and at each corner and the backside, he said. The signs have to be a minimum of 600 square centimetres and the wording should clearly say no hunting, or no trespassing, or hunting with permission only. The provisions in the Wildlife Act, 1998, as well as laws regulating recreational vehicles, were not superseded by those in the Trespass to Property Act passed in 2009. That legislation makes it an offence to enter land or engage in activity on that land if the owner or occupier objects. “The owner’s objections can be expressed verbally, in writing, by posting signs or by enclosing the property,” said a statement from the justice ministry. Other legislation, such as the All Terrain Vehicles Act and the Snowmobile Act, also prohibit the use of these machines on private land without permission, with some exceptions. The ATV legislation allows people to operate the vehicles without permission only on land they or immediate family own or occupy. Otherwise they require permission to be on private or Crown land. Under the snowmobile act, people can operate the machines on any land unless it’s posted. Again, the onus is on the landowner to post, not on the snowmobile operator to ask permission. Crabbe said many of the complaints he hears are specific to areas. For example, the moratorium on moose hunting in Manitoba has created more activity in eastern Saskatchewan as First Nations hunters looked across the border. “The number one reason for a decrease in hunting is a lack of access,” Crabbe added, but then populations can get out of control. “This is the only method (of control) in modern wildlife management.” karen.briere@producer.com

25 YEARS AGO

Lower wheat prices feared with U.S. free trade imports 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: MAY 8, 1941 An early seeding intention estimate by Saskatchewan Pool Elevators Ltd. was indicating that wheat acreage in the province would fall by 21 percent, or 3.25 million acres, from 15.57 million aces in 1940. A more than 30 percent reduction was being suggested for eastcentral Saskatchewan, based on reports from 770 points in the province. The price for Canadian hogs was increased to ensure fulfillment of the country’s bacon agreement obligations to Great Britain. Action was also taken to discourage exports to the United States and reduce domestic consumption.

50 YEARS AGO: MAY 5, 1966 The operator of a British shipping

line was expecting a big year for the Port of Churchill. Peter Dalgleish said orders for goods to be shipped through the port were six times the 1965 volume, and the traditional liquor shipments had not been confirmed yet. The federal government fleshed out its plan to consolidate uneconomical small farms. Forestry ministry Maurice Sauvé, who was responsible for the Agricultural and Rural Development Act, said farms would be bought, consolidated and sold as larger units. Displaced farm families would be moved to an area with employment opportunities, and wage earners would be trained and established in jobs. In some cases, a down payment would be provided for a new home.

25 YEARS AGO: MAY 9, 1991 Manitoba agreed to join the Net Income Stabilization Account program, which was expected to increase provincial farm incomes by $35 million. The federal government would pay the province’s share of the premiums in the first year. Canada was reported to be days away from accepting wheat and flour imports from the United States as part of the new free trade agreement with that country. Critics said the move would erode Canadian Wheat Board powers,

Slumping crop prices were forcing farmers to take a more minimalist approach to farming, including an increase in summerfallowed acres. Statistics Canada reported that growers intended to idle 11.6 million acres of land, which was 15 percent more than the previous year and slightly more than what they planned to seed to canola.

MANURE MANAGEMENT

Mixed farms returning BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Meet the “new grain farm economics.” It’s the same as the old grain farm economics, but a lot different from today’s general approach to grain farming. Midwestern U.S. farmers at the Manitoba Pork Council annual meeting repeatedly mentioned the newfound popularity of hog barns with grain farmers, a trend driven by low grain farming profits. U.S. grain farming profits were hit particularly hard in the last year as the American dollar soared against the currencies of competitors. “They want an additional source of income and they want the manure,” said one Iowa farmer representative. Jay Moore, who works with a Midwestern hog barn management company, agreed that hog barns are popular again as an element of a grain farm. Corn and soybean farmers who don’t have a hog barn on their land want one. This is due to the low price of grain and the cost of fertilizer, which is pricey relative to the

Rail freight volume up in Feb. SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The volume of rail freight carried in Canada showed a 4.5 percent increase in February, according to data compiled by Statistics Canada. The federal statistics agency estimated total rail freight volumes at 26.8 million tonnes in February, up 4.5 percent over February 2015. Freight originating in Canada increased seven percent to 24.4 million tonnes, Stats Canada said. That number was comprised of intermodal and non-intermodal haulings.

declining revenue from grain. That leads to low margins for crop farmers prompting them to look for any way to boost profits A n e a s y w ay i s t o hav e f re e manure from an on-farm hog barn, whether or not the farmer owns the pigs. The manure replaces a lot of chemical fertilizer, and that saved cost directly increases profitability. “With the margins on the grain side of agriculture, with row crop production being so slim, they’re looking at any way they can to try to save some money to improve their margins,” said Iowa farmer Bill Tentinger. With the announcement of several new hog slaughter plants in the Midwest, there should be good demand for hogs, encouraging hog farmers to stick with the business and look for new barn sites. This is marked contrast from recent decades when mixed farms fell out of favour, with grain farmers getting out of cattle and hog production. That trend was exacerbated from the mid-2000s to mid-2010s by good crop profitability.

Non-intermodal freight during the month rose nearly nine percent to 270,000 carloads, with total bulk loadings pegged at 21.8 million tonnes, up 7.1 percent from February 2015. The increase in nonintermodal cargo was driven by an 0.5 million tonne increase in freight loadings of iron ores and concentrates, a 0.4 million tonne increase in canola, and a 0.2 million tonne increase in lumber. Wheat shipments in February were listed at roughly 1.68 million tonnes, down from 1.88 million the year before.

Potash shipments were 1.29 milion, down from 1.44 last year. Haulings of coal, potash, and fuel oils and crude petroleum also posted year-over-year declines in February. Intermodal car loadings showed solid year-over-year growth, up 7.8 percent in February. Freight traffic received from the United States fell more than 15 percent to 2.5 million tonnes due to decreases in both non-intermodal and intermodal shipments. brian.cross@producer.com

The Western Grain Research Foundation has renewed its funding agreement with the University of Alberta’s wheat breeding program. WGRF announced April 27 that it will invest more than $811,000 into the U of A program over the next five years. The investment doubles the WGRF’s previous five-year funding commitment. Dean Spaner, a wheat breeder and professor at the U of A, said WGRF support has been integral to the success of the U of A program. The program has produced five new wheat varieties in the past four years including Thorsby, Coleman, Go Early, Paratha and BW986.

All of the varieties fall within the Canada Western Red Spring class. “All of our varieties have an element of earliness to them … largely because we’re the northern most breeding program in the western Canadian network,” said Spaner. “Three of our varieties — Thorsby, Paratha and Coleman — also had really good resistance to stripe rust, which is a disease more prevalent in Alberta than in other provinces.” Spaner said the new U of A varieties are just starting to hit the commercial market. Certified seed supplies of Thorsby will be commercially available in 2016. Spaner said the program will continue to focus on developing high quality CWRS varieties with shorter straw.

PULSES

Growers take pulses to next level Early supporters of the new crop led to the birth of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers BY KAREN MORRISON

LOWDOWN ON PULSES

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HUGHTON, Sask. — Farmers were desperate to make a dollar, quotas were tight and grain was not worth much when the holy grail of lentils appeared on the prairie horizon. “It was easy to convince people to get into it,” said Bill Copeland, who offered his farm near Hughton, Sask., for lentil and also barley research trials for three decades. “Once it got going, it went like a wild fire,” said Bill, citing the large acreages of pulses today in westcentral Saskatchewan. Today Canada is the largest pulse exporter in the world. Bill said the allure was that pulses d i d n o t hav e t o b e ma rke t e d through the Canadian Wheat Board like barley and wheat. They could be cleaned and sold and the money pocketed immediately. The research ended with the farm’s switchover to continuous cropping. CDC Copeland malt barley was named for him and his support of research. Both he and his wife and home economist, Alma, were also inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame. Hail damage challenged an early crop, but the Copelands still grew 1,100 pounds and sold them for as much as 20 cents. “That was more money than we’d made off anything,” said Bill, whose business grew from pedigreed seeds to lentil cleaning and exporting. Early crops performed well, yielding $350 an acre compared to $75/acre for wheat. He and Alma farm with their son, Bob, president of Copeland Seeds. The farm business cleans and sells lentils, employs 15 people drawn from the local community and seeds 8,500 acres of malt barley, lentils, canola and durum wheat. Alma said the establishment of

their processing plant spiked an increase in acreage in their region. Improved production techniques grew from trial and error, said Bill. “There was nobody to talk to as it was the beginning of a new thing. We went mostly by the ass of our pants,” said Bill. “You hoped you didn’t make too many errors. “We started some new areas of agriculture which turned out to be very good for farmers, the industry and the health of the people of the world,” said Bill. “Research trials were useful in showing what you should and shouldn’t do.” He also used his agriculture degree and was helped by his friend and plant breeder Al Slinkard at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre. Slinkard, with John Buchan of Saskatchewan Agriculture, Canada’s first provincial special crops specialist, helped spearhead the creation of the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. Bill started with Chilean lentils provided by grain companies before moving into Laird lentils, named for Rosetown farmer Thomas Laird. He had given the CDC a $25,000 grant to produce new crops for his area. Slinkard was behind the develop-

He also developed Eston, a short, smallseeded early maturing lentil and Indian Head, a green manure lentil. Bob, a graduate of the agriculture school, said the university and industry contacts proved useful for their growing business that has witnessed increased volumes, industry expansion and specializa-

tion in lentils. “It increased by at least 50 percent since I started,” said Bob. It’s not uncommon to see people in the area planting 1,000 acres of lentils, he said. He estimated lentils accounts for as much as 25 percent of the acreage in the west-central region. Alma said the drier west-central region was well suited to grow them and free of stones that could

hamper harvest. They were also good for crop rotations. The farm found a flex header commonly used for soybeans worked well at harvest because lentils grow so close to the ground. Looking ahead, Bob said the future of the family business depends on whether any of his three adult children will take it on. “As our children become more involved, the children’s ideas may give us something to move forward with,” said Bob. The Copelands sell lentils in countries as far-flung as Spain, Germany, Mexico, South America and Turkey and that has changed little since the early days, said Bob. “Lentils are such an ancient grain. We are the new country that’s using them.” “Everybody in the world eats lentil but North America,” said Bill. Alma said that’s cultural, noting the many United Kingdom and Ukrainians that settled the Prairies and brought their meat and potato diets with them. That is changing with the influx of new immigrants from places like the Middle East, where pulses are commonly consumed. Bill thinks there is an untapped lentil market with athletes, due to their slow release of energy. Looking back, Bill called taking on pulses a calculated risk. “We were doing something new and it had the potential to go where it went,” he said. karen.morrison@producer.com FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE 24.

ith grilling season upon us, it is time to take a closer look at marinating. Marinades are quick and easy to prepare and tenderize food but can also add a versatile array of flavours to barbecue dishes. Marinades usually combine oil, acid, herbs, spices and often a sweetener. Acid ingredients such as vinegar, citrus juice or wine act to tenderize food while the oil adds moisturize and helps to develop flavours. Garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, herbs and spices add flavour while sweeteners, like honey or brown sugar, aid in browning and take the edge off the acid ingredients. Marinating times vary with the food. Generally, meats with a porous flesh, little tough connective tissue, and delicate flavour such as fish, chicken or turkey take the shortest time - usually anywhere from even a half hour to a few hours is sufficient. Beef, pork and game meats, on the other hand, take longer and can be

COUNTRY KITCHEN

DOROTHY LONG made ahead to marinate overnight.Â To prepare marinades, combine all ingredients in a resealable plastic bag and then simply add the food you are marinating. You can also use a plastic or glass container but never metal as the acid ingredients can react to the metal and cause off flavours. I like to use a resealable plastic bag so that the food can be turned easily and marinates evenly. If you plan to baste the food with the marinade, while cooking, double the recipe. Use half to marinate, reserving the remainder to be used as a basting

sauce. This will prevent cross-contamination between cooked and raw meats. Marinade that has been used with raw food should not be used as a sauce unless it is boiled first to destroy any bad bacteria that may be present. Always cover and refrigerate during marinating as marinades do not protect food from spoiling if left on the counter. Do not marinate longer than overnight as again, meat especially, has a refrigerated shelf life and marinating does not extend that shelf life. Here are several marinade recipes to get you started this grilling season. Vinaigrettes recipes also make great marinades and if you are really short of time commercial salad dressings can also be used.

ON THE FARM

Big acres, big animals, big workload Everyone knows their role on this mixed farm ON THE FARM

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

CARNDUFF, Sask. — A strong work ethic is what it’s all about for the Patons. They have 450 head of commercial Charolais cattle, 200 purebred Belgian horses and 11,000 total acres of owned and rented land. “You get up every morning at 6 a.m. and you work until everything is done,” said Melvin Paton, the 81-year-old patriarch at MM Ranch and Paton Bros. farm. Mel’s adult sons, Curt and Clint, ascribe to the same philosophy. They separate their work into two areas, with Curt taking care of the livestock and Clint heading up the grain farming and accounting. They agree that maintaining a successful farm operation is all about time management and commitment. “Every day is different and every day is a challenge,” said Clint.“I never know what’s going to come up each morning so I don’t plan for anything. That keeps it interesting.” The division of labour finds Curt dealing with all horse-related duties, including managing the PMU herd of 200 purebred Belgians. The herd has been in the family since 1966, with the Patons developing a breeding program that sees horses go to the U.S. as Amish work teams, as well as throughout Canada and the U.S. for the show ring, pulling teams and recreation. The prized Paton Belgians come with price tags from $2,000 to $20,000 but Curt says that the payoff requires a great deal of commitment. “There were times last year when I was up for nine straight nights during foaling time,” said Curt. Due to the high heads and long legs of the Patons’ Belgian foals, deliveries often require assistance. With an expanded PMU quota and 90 new foals expected this spring, Curt will be busy ensuring that the Belgians not only deliver their foals safely, but that the horses are broken and marketed and

THE PATON FAMILY Carnduff, Sask. that veterinary care and breeding records are maintained. Curt has four children, some of whom are involved in rodeo and some who have other off-farm activities, and a wife who works as a kindergarten teacher. Clint has six children and is Carnduff’s fire chief. The many off-farm commitments make for busy schedules, but Clint said the farm is the priority. “Sometimes when there’s choices to make like do you go to the hockey game or stay home, you have to stay home and work,” he said. Curt agreed. “You have to be able to put the farm first for the good of everyone. That’s the main thing,” he said. Many of the adult Paton children work on the farm when needed. However, Clinton and Curt have encouraged their kids to get training and establish careers outside of farming. They believe it’s important to get an education or a trade because not all 10 grandchildren can become part of the farm operation. Curt said that succession planning is currently underway to ensure that the economic health of the overall operation is maintained. Planning and open communication are the keys to success. “You have to be willing to communicate and lay it on the line every once in a while just to know where everybody stands,” said Curt, who maintains one of the family’s three separate farmyards. Patriarch Mel, who took over the

farm from his dad and uncle in 1949, said the division of labour is one of the reasons for the farm’s success. “If you want to know about horses, you ask Curt. If you want to know about machinery or books, ask Clint. If you want to know what’s for dinner, ask Grandma,” said Melvin, adding that if anyone wants to know about the cows, they ask him. Paton matriarch Donalee keeps the home fires burning. “Having everyone around this much, you really get to know your grandchildren and you know they’re doing well,” she said.

at the grocery store. Their recommendations list best choices, good alternatives and ones to avoid. In Canada, the Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program www. oceanwise.ca, has an extensive list of recommendations of wild and farmed fish and seafood best choices. The Ocean Wise logo is an assurance that the menu item is a good choice for keeping ocean life healthy and abundant for generations to come. Two more trademarked labels that are helpful are the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) that applies only to fish, crustaceans and seafood caught in the wild and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) that applies to responsibly farmed fish, crustaceans and seafood. These organizations monitor food additives, legal compliance, preservation of the natural environment and water resources, biodiversity and a responsible use of animal feed and help safeguard

eading labels is paramount in providing your family with sustainably and ethically sourced fish and seafood. Sometimes this requires reading between the lines and being aware of what is not on the label. Sustainability means meeting human development needs while preserving the environment. For many people, the idea of eating sustainably har vested or farmed fish has become complicated. Our choices are further complicated by our buying habits. More than two-thirds of the fish and seafood consumed in North America is farmed shrimp, farmed salmon, canned tuna and farmed tilapia. Shrimp farming is popular in Asia and is often done at the expense of the coastal mangrove forests. With these forests removed, the land is more vulnerable to tsunamis and hurricanes. The loss of mangroves also negatively impacts the absorption of carbon. This past year, news articles exposing the slave trade in shrimp fishing and processing have surfaced but shrimp continues to be a favourite party food. Labelling in the grocery store does little to enlighten us on what was involved in seafood collection. If it is cheap and peeled, it may come from Asia where illegal labour has been reported. Which is better: farmed or wild salmon? Many feel farmed salmon is not as healthy as wild. The environmental concerns with farmed fish include the transfer of disease and parasites to the

wild population and the escape of farmed fish into the wild where breeding could pose a threat to native species. The omega 3 in wild population comes from the fish eating plankton and algae. Strict rules are now in place to monitor the type of food used in fish farming, which mainly consists of prepared diets of plants, grains and fishmeal. Canned tuna is labelled light or white. Light tuna is usually skipjack, a cousin of tuna, and is plentiful so sustainability is not an issue. It is also cheap. It has a fishy taste and mushy texture. White tuna is albacore, which has a firm texture and mild flavour and accounts for about 30 percent of canned tuna. Albacore is caught on a line that can be several miles long with up to 3,000 baited fishhooks. It is dangled at a depth where the endangered Bluefin tuna swims so it can also catch several other species of fish. Marine life often die before the line is checked. Tilapia is popular with its mild flavour and low price. Knowing how it is farmed is important information for the consumer. Tilapia farms in China are often found near highly industrialized regions where the water, soil and air are contaminated. That could account for the low price.

livelihoods and sustain communities. What do these organizations say about our favourite four? The Belize Shrimp Grower Association has gained certification from ASC. The Monterey Bay Seafood Watch recommends buying U.S. and Alaska farmed shrimp and avoiding imported shrimp. Canada and U.S. wild shrimp and Ecuador and Honduras farmed ones are a good alternative. Ocean Wise recommends U.S. and Canada wild shrimp and a select group of farms around the world. Wild salmon is recommended from Alaska and Pacific U.S., New Zealand and Canada. Farmed open net salmon is recommended by Ocean Wise from Norway, Chile, Scotland, Atlantic U.S. and Canada and British Columbia. Seafood Watch and Ocean Wise recommend troll and pole caught albacore and skipjack tuna from the Pacific and Atlantic. They do not recommend tuna from the Indian Ocean or any deep-set line. For tilapia, the best choices are from the U.S., Canada and Ecuador. Even with this clear labelling, it isn’t easy to always make the best choice. I have purchased Pacific salmon only to get home and discover it was processed in China. Other ambiguous labels include the terms, responsibly sourced or sustainably caught.

Students tackle food waste

Spring sparks new beginnings

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Three rural Saskatchewan teens hammed it up in a 30 second video to help curb food waste. Kaitlyn Dilsner, Taryn Heidebrecht, and Lauren Palmer, Grade 12 students at Clavet Composite School, invested more than nine hours to produce the video, which took first place and a $500 prize in a Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council competition. Palmer, who lives on a cattle and grain farm, said they were inspired by their families. “We see how much work goes into raising food,” she said. Heidebrecht said the video, entitled Don’t Waste It ’Cause We Grow and set to a rendition of LMFAO’s

pop song, chose a fast-paced, humorous approach over presenting too many numbers or statistics. Tips such as checking what’s in the fridge before shopping and saving leftovers for the next day were targeting all age groups, they said. SWRC reports that an estimated 27 billion dollars’ worth of food is wasted every year. Food waste occurs in production, distribution, retailing and consumption, with consumers discarding about onethird of the food they purchase. In the video competition, second and third place was awarded to students from Hepburn and La Ronge. Visit http://bit.ly/ 1VWz6HI to see the students’ videos.

PULSES

Economist takes pulses to the table BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HUGHTON, Sask. — Alma Copeland often tested lentil recipes on the workers at her family’s seed cleaning business. It was also common for her to take a lentil dish to a speaking engagement or social gathering to educate others about the once little know crop. Today, pulses are common on restaurant menus, said Copeland, who tries to incorporate them into family meals at least once a week. The home economist said pulses were not well known when her family started growing and processing seeds near Hughton, Sask. “I thought people needed to be eating them more if they were growing them. Everybody had them in their bins but nobody was eating them,” she said. Copeland has contributed to and recipe tested for numerous cook-

Their versatility extends to pulse recipes from soups to salads. They can also be pureed for use in baking such as muffins. Copeland said lentils can be ready in 20 to 30 minutes and do not need to be soaked like some dry beans. She said they are gluten free, contain soluble and insoluble fibre and

are a source of folate for pregnant women. They are also a good choice for vegetarians. “If combined with a cereal, you get a complete protein,” Copeland said, citing meals of corn or wheat and legumes.

HUMANITARIAN AID

Sask. CEO recognized for corporate citizenship The United Nations in Canada honored Murad Al-Katib for his work in providing food distribution in countries struggling with political and social unrest BY DELANEY SEIFERLING FREELANCE WRITER

TORONTO — Saskatchewan’s farmers and agriculture industry play an important role in global food security. This was the theme of a United Nations in Canada (UNA-Canada) event that took place in Toronto April 21, honouring Murad AlKatib, chief executive officer of Regina-based AGT Food and Ingredient, with its annual Global Citizens Award. The award is presented annually to a Canadian who has made a significant contribution to corporate citizenship through their work, philanthropy and community building efforts, says UNA-Canada president Kate White. “This is one of the important ways that we meet our mandate of promoting and showcasing Canadians who are making a difference in their community and their world,” she says. “A global citizen can be a person who is building his community in a way that may seem very local but always with an awareness of the wider world. “Murad has done this by building a successful company around pulses while also contributing back to his community, whether in Saskatchewan with the farmers he works with, with the university and the broader community, and with the work he has done with humanitarian aid through the World Food Program.” AGT Foods, formerly Saskcan Pulse, was founded in Regina in 2001 with a vision to connect local producers to the world. The company has since grown to become one of the largest suppliers of value-added pulses, staple foods and food ingredients in the world, with offices and operations in six countries and exports going to more than 120 countries worldwide. Although primarily an export company, AGT is also focused on food distribution in countries struggling with political and social unrest, having supplied bagged and bulk pulses and staple foods to the World Food Program and the International Committee of the Red Cross for several years now. “We practise a corporate philosophy of what we like to term ‘compassionate entrepreneurialism,’ meaning that we truly care about the world around us while we conduct and grow our business,” AlKatib says. “We are not exploitive traders. We are focused on creating value in the value chain and we share this profit with all members of the chain. That’s how we have become a multi-billion-dollar company in a very short time.” Last year AGT provided about four million family food parcels to families in need in Syria, Iraq and more, in partnership with the

United Nations, the ICRC and other non-governmental organization programs. According to the United Nations, it is estimated these food parcels have fed approximately 15 million refugees. “We estimate that this supply chain initiative saved tens of millions of dollars in costs and losses in distribution, and added to the

agencies abilities to react to crises,” Al-Katib says. Canada also plays an important role in meeting the world’s demand for essential vegetable protein, as the number one exporter of pulse crops to the world. Current forecasts estimate 201617 production of Canadian lentils and peas will be about 10 million acres.

PEST MANAGEMENT

Integrated pest management system gets thumbs up Proposed strategy would provide growers with risk insurance for reducing environmental impact from seed treatments BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

TORONTO — A co-operative approach to managing soil-borne insect risks should enable corn growers to eliminate neonicotinoid seed treatments with virtually no financial risk. Dr. Lozenzo Furlan, the manager of a government agricultural research department in Italy, recommends a combination of risk insurance and integrated pest management (IPM) protocols to make it work. “The described IPM strategy may lead to a considerable reduction in

the use of soil pesticides and to the immediate containment of the environmental impact of agriculture with no negative impact on farmers’ income,” he said. Furlan was among the speakers at York University here on April 19 for a symposium sponsored by the university, the David Suzuki Foundation and Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. He suggested farmers form their own risk-management groups or work through a governmentdirected program. In either case, those with damaged crops whether from insects or the weather can be compensated from a funding pool.

Furlan said long-term data puts the risk of insect damage to Italy’s corn crop, located primarily in the northeastern part of the country, at around four percent. However, the level of risk can be greater or lower depending on several factors. For instance, damage is more likely where organic matter levels are greater that five per cent, when corn is double cropped and when pasture or alfalfa is part of the rotation. Field drainage, sowing date and spring temperatures also have an influence. Furlan described expected outcomes for farmers using the insurance model alone, insurance

together with IPM, insurance with IPM and monitoring and the prophylactic use of insecticides. The prophylactic use of systemic pesticides was the most expensive approach and had the greatest environmental risk, he said. Others at the symposium, including Jean-Marc Bonmatin with the National Centre for Scientific Research in France, recommended IPM as the means to manage insect pests. Bonmatin said the idea encourages the targeted use of insecticides. Farmers should first use cultural and biological means manage pests, only applying chemical

products like the neonicotinoids as a last resort. Maarten Bijleveld van Lexmond, chair of the International Task force on Systemic Pesticides, said there is “overwhelming evidence” tying systemic pesticides to pollinator decline. “There has been a lack of answers from those on the other side and now they say, ‘Oh, there is a lack of alternatives,’ which is another myth,” van Lexmond said. “This class of insecticides has the highest toxicity to bees, 5,000 to 10,000 times greater than DDT.” Van Lexmond said the current European moratorium on three neonicotinoid molecules, which ends in 2016, has had no impact on crop production. He sees no sense in introducing other system insecticides, even if they’re part of another class of chemicals. There are farmers in Europe who still see a need for systemic pesticides, however. Bonmatin said there is currently a “big commercial business” based on illegal sales of the products. “There are farmers who want the pesticides. They don’t understand, in most case, they don’t need them,” he said. There is a long history of pesticide use in France, which may account for the phenomena. Bonmatin said even in miniscule amounts, far less than currently being used, the chemicals can have sub-lethal impacts often with unforeseen consequences. He cited the example of a stink bug species, Euschistus heroes, in Brazil. One study links reproductive changes in the insect to the increased occurrence of outbreaks in soybean fields. Depending on the species, anywhere from two to 20 per cent of neonicotinoid treatments applied are taken up by the crop plants, Bonmatin said. Much of the rest moves into the environment to impact a range of non-target organisms. Bonmatin said all neonicotinoid were banned in some regions of Italy in 2008. A partial ban was introduced in Japan in 2015. This year the State of Maryland introduced ban on the residential use of neonicotinods and Ontario has introduced restrictions this year intended to drop the use of agricultural neonicotinoid seed treatments by 80 per cent by 2017. Furlan, van Lexmond and Bonmatin are members of the Task Force on System Pesticides, part of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The independent group of scientists from around the world released the Worldwide Assessment of the Impact of Systemic Pesticides on Biodiversity and Ecosystems earlier.

TPP bad deal; pulling out not seen as viable option

GM labelling laws vex U.S. lawmakers

Some think the trade deal will benefit American agriculture WP reporter Ed White filed these stories from Washington, D.C. U.S. president Barack Obama’s administration thinks the Trans Pa c i f i c Pa r t n e r s h i p c a n b e approved before the November elections, but few share that opinion. “I don’t see us voting on it before a lame duck (session of the U.S. Congress),” said the Democrat minority leader of the Senate agriculture committee April 26 to the North American Agricultural Journalists. Will enough senators vote for TPP even after the November elections, when all the partisan pressure is off? “I think it’s a close call. I don’t know right now. I think it’s up in the air,” said Deb Stabenow, who described herself as having “great concerns about how it is presently constituted.” That won’t help the TPP become the gigantic trading bloc promoters have wanted, but one former agriculture secretary said Canada would gain an advantage if the U.S. failed to approve TPP but Canada did. “It would look very bad for us,” said Dan Glickman, former president Bill Clinton’s long time agriculture secretary, to NAAJ. “It certainly wouldn’t help us.” Canada would increase access to many markets while the U.S. fell behind, Glickman said. A minority of Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives are also anti-TPP, as well as many House Democrats. House agriculture committee Democrat minority leader Collin Peterson shared Stabenow’s doubtfulness about TPP passing before the election. “It will not pass if it’s brought up now,” said Peterson. He sounded unhappy with the TPP, echoing the sentiments of many Democrats and moderate Americans. “This is not a free-trade agreement, in terms of agriculture. It’s a managed trade agreement.” And he levelled his skepticism

We are letting Canada off the hook. Canada took us to the cleaners in (the North American Free Trade Agreement). And the only chance we have to fix that is in this agreement, in my opinion. And this does not fix it. COLLIN PETERSON DEMOCRAT MINORITY LEADER

and unhappiness with TPP at Canada and the modest lowering of dairy protections Canada had to make in the deal. “We are letting Canada off the hook,” said Peterson, whose western Minnesota district goes right up to the Manitoba-U.S. border.“Canada took us to the cleaners in (the North American Free Trade Agreement). And the only chance we have to fix that is in this agreement, in my opinion. And this does not fix it.” Trade agreements have become a hot issue in the U.S. presidential primaries campaigns. Hillary Clinton once supported

the agreement, but now says she is opposed to much of it. Donald Trump rages against TPP and other agreements that he says weaken the U.S. Eve n t h o u g h f e w p o l i t i c a l observers or politicians believe the White House will be successful in getting TPP approved before the November elections, Obama officials are pushing hard for approval. “We are hopeful and we think Congress needs to consider this agreement this year,” said Darci Vetter, the U.S. Trade Representative’s agriculture negotiator, in a meeting with NAAJ. “It is, perhaps, a bogeyman of this campaign, but actually withdrawing from the global economy? Not an option. We couldn’t even if we wanted to.” Agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack sounded like he believed TPP approval is still possible, although he did not mention a timeline. He had just met with the Japanese agriculture minister and “I assured the minister that I was confident that at some point in time the U.S. Congress would approve TPP because of the benefits to American agriculture.” Millions of Americans have lost manufacturing jobs in the past decade and many Americans have become re-employed at lower wages. Millions more still have jobs in the manufacturing industries but fear they will lose their jobs due to lower wages in countries like China. He thinks a stronger U.S. economy, helped by major infrastructure spending, could change attitudes. “If we could give people some belief that we are really going to spend resources to rebuild the country . . . we could produce millions of jobs, make people believe the country is competitive, it would be a lot easier to sell trade agreements, if people believed there was good news at home,” said Glickman. ed.white@producer.com

Although food labelling rules vary from state to state some U.S. officials think ‘the marketplace will sort it out’ BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Labelling of genetically modified crops has been a big, messy issue in the U.S. Congress, and it will probably stay a mess even as U.S. states begin imposing their own local food labelling rules. The Senate agriculture committee chair, the Senate minority leader, and the House of Representatives minority leader all sounded pessimistic that a national law could stop what appears to be the beginning of a “hodgepodge” of state GMO labelling standards. “I just don’t see the votes being here to pre-empt states to take away states’ rights and consumers’ abilities to pass laws in their states, without having a national standard,” said Deb Stabenow, the ranking Democrat on the Senate agriculture committee, speaking to members of the North American Agricultural Journalists April 25. Vermont is the first state set to require food packages to state if they contain GM ingredients, with a few more states already working on possible labeling rules. Vermont first in line On July 1, Vermont’s law comes into force. There have been major efforts in Congress to “pre-empt” state-based GMO labelling laws, but those efforts have stalled because not enough Democrats in the Senate support those attempts. That means GM labelling rules will likely become more varied from state to state state laws, unless a national standard and law about GMO label claims becomes law, which Stabenow said will take a lot of work. Senate agriculture committee chair Pat Roberts, a Republican, said “we’ll work this out,” but sounded doubtful. He warned that about 31 states are working on labelling rules, and that’s a threat to farmers and food

producers because of the confusion it will create. “The food industry cannot be successful (with a plethora of different standards), and the entire system from farm to fork, we’re already seeing reformulation (switching ingredients from GMOcontaining to GMO-free) that’s going to spread,” said Roberts.

DEB STABENOW SENATE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE

That is likely to affect sugar from sugar beets and canola, Roberts said. Collin Peterson, the leading Democrat on the House of Representatives agriculture committee, also doubts any national effort to pre-empt individual state laws on GMO labelling would take effect before the Vermont law is passed. However, he has been cheered by the announcement by a number of major companies that they will label GM ingredients on their packages, but were not dropping GMO ingredients. “I think the marketplace will sort this out,” said Peterson. He said if there is no major change in consumer buying patterns after a short time of having GM ingredient labels, then the issue will likely die. Stabenow said she doesn’t think it will be enough to let states impose their own rules, and added that Congress must establish a national rule and standard before it can prevent states from imposing their own. ed.white@producer.com

ODD JOBS

Saskatoon phone app creators link work with workers BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Spring has arrived in Western Canada and that means chores will pile up quickly. Now there’s a new smartphone app that makes it easier to take care of those odd jobs and honey-do lists. Saskatoon-area residents Devon Ambros, Sage Nyong and Wale Agoro developed the oddJobs — supporting local communities app (differentiated from Odd Jobs LLC at the App Store) after realiz-

ing no products on the market could quickly connect short-term casual labourers with potential employers. The app was launched less than a year ago and has users in 32 countries, using multiple languages. In Western Canada, the app is suited for farmers, land managers, homeowners and business people who need casual, unskilled labour on short notice. Jobs can be posted and potential employees can respond quickly through an app, which can be downloaded to their cell phones

for free from the App Store. Ambros, a former greenhouse manager, is familiar with the challenge of finding casual labour during the busy season. He said the app will benefit a wide spectrum of users including students and casual workers, who may not be in a position to hold down a full-time job but are eager to work a few hours here and there in exchange for some extra money. “We see it as a huge market,” said Ambros, in charge of oddJobs marketing and publicity. “In Western Canada, for example,

the whole agriculture sector could benefit, right from farmers hiring farm hands, through to fruit and vegetable growers hiring on their seasonal labour ….” Since its unveiling in July of 2015, the app has been downloaded more than 6,000 times, he said. It currently has more than 2,000 active users with particularly strong uptake in the eastern United States. “So far, we’ve done zero marketing outside of Canada,” Nyong said. “Most of the traction that we’re getting is all organic, through word of mouth, social media and so on.”

Agoro, another U of S graduate in charge of financial management, said the app has not generated any revenue so far, buy that is according to their plan. “Right now, we’re still looking to grow and expand our user base and when we hit what we think is a profitable saturation point, then we’ll l o o k ( at g e n e rat i n g re v e nu e through) advertising.” Agoro sees the app as an ideal platform for advertisers who operate in a localized market. brian.cross@producer.com

WATER QUALITY

Nanton’s water woes Alberta town’s tap water went from great to gross. What happened? BY PETER WORDEN FREELANCE WRITER

or the last decade, the southern Alberta town, once famous for its spring aquifer, has relied on the Mosquito Creek as its primary source of drinking water. While legally fit to drink, many Nanton residents expressed distaste for the current tap water in a recent citizen satisfaction survey, prompting a fullfledged engineering study into what’s causing the poor taste and odor. But drinking water is second in immediate concern for town council. The Number One priority is the public’s Number Two: wastewater. At the moment, the chronically failing water treatment plant takes up the most time and, more importantly, limited financial resources. “I completely understand the community’s concern over the drinking water,” said chief administrative officer Kevin Miller.

KEVIN MILLER CHIEF ADMINISTRATION OFFICER

“It is quite honestly our next priority. This one was just the larger crisis in the grand scheme of things.” An imminent plant breakdown, Miller explained, posed an obvious hazard to the environment and watershed to say nothing of other downstream users of Mosquito Creek. Last March, Miller spoke at a conference on the wastewater crisis, entitled: Just When You Thought Nothing Else Could Go Wrong. It detailed the failure of a retaining wall in 2014 and how one of three rotating biological drums broke in 2015. The giant polystyrene drums spin and clean wastewater using bacteria. In the winter, to handle ice build-up on the RBC, workers for the town turned the machine by hand. After weighing different technologies and suppliers, visiting workshops and facility tours, Miller says a new wastewater treatment system is on its way. They settled on a membrane bioreactor to the tune of $12.5 million, and on April 18, held a groundbreaking ceremony. The new plant will pass water through a semi-permeable membrane w ith tiny holes 0.08 microns wide to filter almost everything and produce water that is cleaner than Mosquito Creek. It wasn’t always this way. In the early years, Nanton was known for its pure water. The town’s namesake Augustus Nanton was considered an irrigation genius. Calgary satirist Bob Edwards referred to Nanton as “that great water tower town.” Motorists called Nanton “Tap Town” because it offered a free tap and spigot along Highway 2 North to fill up on fresh, cold spring water, one of the first

to be bottled in Canada. To date, it’s the town’s best-known export. “Millions and millions of units of packaged water with the name Nanton on it is going across the world,” said Brad Wallace, owner of Nanton Water & Soda Ltd. The company indirectly advertises the town and its spring water on a daily basis with bottles on airlines and store shelves; 99.9 per cent of business, Wallace says, is international. The company uses three spring water sources within 80 kilometres of Nanton. Born and raised in Nanton, he hears the question of ‘why the yucky tap water?’ daily. He says it tastes “atrocious” and wishes the town would better protect its water reputation. As far as prioritizing, Wallace says drinking water should be council’s primary focus. “Regardless if it’s legal to drink, give (the public) something that tastes good,” he said. “The ability to manage the priority of infrastructure, I think was completely missed by councils over the past 20 years.” In 2006, a growing population and water demands forced the community to switch its primary water source entirely. Nanton was only licensed to draw so much from the spring line, so the primary source became Mosquito Creek with a small amount from the spring line. After it made the switch, engineers had to adapt the settings for chlorination and reexamine its reservoir system. Creek water contains more algae, requiring an aeration system to keep it from getting stagnant. That roughly explains the difference in quality — the off-taste comes from the system in-between its source and purification.

The treatment, the chlorination, we’re not recreating the wheel. This is done in many different places in southern Alberta…. Why do we have difficulty with the one we have now? BRAD WALLACE NANTON WATER & SODA LTD.

According to Miller, it depends when and where a person in town turns on the tap. In some areas, it is mustier, and in other parts, a strong scent of chlorine. Last year, the town held a water taste-test. Similar to the Citizen Satisfaction Survey — it helped pinpoint the problem. But for all the feedback, it didn’t give a definitive answer on what was precisely the matter, only a smaller subset of issues showing the problem to be organic rather than chemical. “The treatment, the chlorination, we’re not recreating the wheel,” said Wallace. “This is done in many different places in southern Alberta…. Why do we have difficulty with the one we have now?” The town’s water does meet

regulatory requirements and the wastewater treatment plant is running smoothly “for now,” says Miller, touching wood. He knows it could fail at any moment. “The long-term longevity of the plant doesn’t exist.” One question is whether a population of about 2,200 can support expensive new wastewater and drinking-water treatment facilities. “Yes and no,” said Miller. Nanton is not alone in small towns trying to achieve financial viability for important infrastructure. An alternate idea is a pipeline to and from Calgary to process wastewater and supply drinking water. Okotoks and the City of Calgary have such a plan. However, right now, a one-direction Calgary-to-Nanton pipeline would cost about $180 million, which is completely uneconomical. Miller expects to see more long-term collaborations with the Calgary Regional Partnership.

Eventually, Okotoks’ pipeline could extend south to Aldersyde, then to High River and Cayley— which already has a pipeline—and finally to Nanton. “As it spreads south these economies of scale actually begin to work for Nanton,” he said. Another idea for sourcing cleanertasting drinking water is more difficult to broach. If the processed water at Nanton’s new wastewater treatment plant will be purer than Mosquito Creek, “… why not pump it up straight to the reservoir?” asks Miller, predicting the question. It’s not as crazy as it sounds. Drier jurisdictions in the southern U.S. already do that, Miller said, explaining that the main hurdle is public perception. “You tell the public you’re taking the discharge from the sewer plant and throwing it into your water, and all the testing and studies almost don’t matter. People have a very psychological view of that.”

NEWS IN BRIEF AGRISTABILITY

Farmers not happy A survey of 268 Saskatchewan farmers has found dissatisfaction with AgriStability. The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan polled members to confirm what it had been hearing, said president Norm Hall. “The survey was to get factual information, instead of just anecdotal,” he said. There have been many complaints about the program since changes were made in 2013. The responses show that while AgriInvest is rated highly, and AgriInsurance is rated moderately, AgriStability scores consistently lower. That program scored lowest for adequacy and design. Just 18 percent of the respondents said the program does or would benefit their operations. Thirty-five percent of respondents said they had withdrawn from the program and 55 percent said they couldn’t predict coverage levels at the start of each year. AgriInvest fared best in the survey; 73 percent strongly agreed they would recommend the program to others. Crop insurance is perceived to provide predictable and timely support but only 30 percent said coverage was adequate. For Growing Forward 3, they said the highest priority should be innovation and science, followed by trade and market development. Complete survey results can be found at www.apas.ca. EARTH DAY

Conservation funding The Alberta government recogn i z e d E a r t h D ay Ap r i l 2 2 by announcing $15 million to be available annually, over the next five years, for public and private land conservation projects. The funds were allocated in the recent budget and will support the Land Trust Grant Program and the Land Purchase Program, according to an Alberta Environment news release. The two programs are used to promote voluntary conservation of private land and to buy land the province considers to be of high conservation value. Earlier this year, six land trusts were granted $5.89 million for 22 different projects. They will help conserve more than 13,300 acres of land, said the release. Land trusts use the money to buy easements or undertake stewardship projects. The Southern Alberta Land Trust Society (SALTS) was the recipient of four grants totaling $744,000. Other grant recipient organizations and the amounts received: • Alberta Conservation Association: $348,225 • Alberta Fish & Game Association: $22,975 • Du c k s U n l i m i t e d Ca na d a : $200,098 • Nature Conservancy of Canada: $3.8 million • Western Sky Land Trust : $765,100 To qualify for grants, organizations must “align with the overall conservation goals of Alberta Environment and Parks.” Those include retaining native landscapes, fostering biodiversity and providing at least two-thirds of final funding for their projects.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

Agrology hits the stage Forage specialist combines ag information and theatre to educate in a fun — and furry way BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Nadia Mori divides her time between working as a forage specialist and performing as a budding actress on the stage of Saskatoon’s Greystone Theatre. “The more I got into the fine arts of acting degree, I was looking for options how I could merge those two passions, because ultimately that’s what I hope to do,” said Mori. She was recently awarded the Outstanding Young Agrologist Award for 2016 and doesn’t know where her career is going to take her. “The job that I’m looking for is maybe something I need to create, but I think it’s possible.” Mori moved to Saskatchewan in 2002 from her family farm in Kallnach, Switzerland, to become a veterinarian. Instead, she finished with a bachelor of science in agriculture and a masters in science in rangeland ecology. Mo r i w o rk s i n Wat ro u s a s regional forage specialist for the province while she completes her fourth year of drama studies at the University of Saskatchewan. She is certain her newfound education is making her a better agrologist. “I can bring a lot back, the playwriting experience, I get voice training so hopefully that helps me in presentations… [My] skills have really changed and it seems in a better way.” Mori took a playwriting course in her second year and it was very influential. She witnessed a collaboration of the Global Institute for Water Security with the drama department to create a new way to educate and involve the public. The play Downstream was creat-

ed and showed dramatized viewpoints of water security in the Saskatchewan River basin. It encouraged audience engagement and gathered focus group feedback. “I thought you know it is possible to take facts and information and make a play of it.” Mori came to the realization that she could make her own play with the information she gathers for producers as a forage specialist. “I always felt there should be better ways to teach producers or to build awareness on certain issues like noxious wheat management and/or when you should be cutting your hay to get maximum quality of forage and usually you go out you do a PowerPoint presentation or you talk in a field workshop and I thought maybe we could do a little kind of mini-play.” She began working on a few pieces with her puppet Alfie. Alfie would travel to all of Mori’s meetings and would talk to producers about the best time to cut alfalfa for forage management. “We all like to be entertained whether big or small, that’s what I really found. I would love to do it more for producers with different characters.” She said the farmers she has talked to have liked the alternative to the usual PowerPoint presentations. A silly song is easy to remember and farmers walk away telling Mori that the information will be remembered and they like the unusual approach. “It’s the twelve-year-old in me that always dreamt of being out

I think it’s a really powerful tool to teach a lot of people things.” Mori plans to expand her audience to children. Agriculture Awareness is everywhere in Saskatchewan and children’s plays would fit right into government initiatives such as ThinkAg and Agriculture in the Classroom. “A lot of children are growing up away from the farm and really don’t know where their food is coming from anymore so I think that’s a great opportunity for me, especially in terms of native range appreciation.” Mori has a few plots in mind for informative and engaging classroom fun. “I got the idea of using

She is on the board of directors for the Native Plant Society of Saskatchewan and has guided the annual Saskatchewan Pasture Tour in 2012 and the Native Prairie Appreciation Week Tour in 2015. “We have 10 different forage specialists in the province and we all have our unique niches and ways we go about the job. I think for me it was an important thing to recognize is not to be afraid to be different.” Nadia will be performing in “With Glowing Hearts” in production at The PotashCorp Fringe Theatre Festival this summer.

Ontario bee colonies recovering Mild winter helped reduce colony losses BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

After years of severe losses, Ontario bee colonies look great this spring as the vast majority of hives survived the winter. On Tibor Szabo’s beekeeping operation, near Moffat, Ont., essentially every hive is still alive. “I’m about 99 percent (survival),” said Szabo, Ontario Beekeepers’ Association (OBA) president. Winter losses weren’t quite as low at Coneybeare Honey north of Fergus, Ont., but the bees are also in fantastic shape. “We’re probably around a 10 percent winter loss,” said Jim Coneybeare. “I’m hearing from a lot of guys (beekeepers), probably a five to 10 percent winter loss.” If losses remain that low it will be a tremendous improvement from 2014 and 2015. • Last year Ontario beekeepers lost 37.8 percent of their hives, much higher than the Canadian average of 16.4 percent. • In 2014 winter losses were 58 percent in Ontario, compared to 25 percent across Canada. • Winter losses are defined as the number of hives that are viable at the end of winter, compared to the number of bee colonies stored in the fall. The primary reason for minimal losses this year was the warm fall and pleasant winter in Ontario, Szabo said. “With honeybees, strong hives are independent of the weather,” he said. “Hives with smaller populations are (more) dependent on the weather for growth and survival…. When you have a mild winter they all make it.” The shorter winter also benefitted bees on the Prairies. “Talking to beekeepers in Alberta, and my own bees, our (winter) survival has been much, much better,” said Stephen Pernal, Agriculture Canada bee expert at the Beaverlodge Research Farm. “Just by intuition, this is not based on looking at numbers, I would expect across Western Canada… that our winter survival rates will be better.” It will be difficult for survival rates on the Prairies to get much better

than 2015, when winter losses were around 11 percent. The high survival rate in Ontario should provide a boost for province’s beekeeping industry, which provides pollination for orchard crops in Central Canada. “It’s definitely a shot in the arm…. Hopefully the high survival continues (through the summer),” Szabo said. Bee winter losses have been a controversial topic in Ontario the last few years. Environmental groups and beekeepers have blamed neonicotinoid seed treatments, which are applied to corn, canola and soybean seeds, for killing bees and compromising colony health. The winter losses, along with bee deaths caused by corn seeder dust contaminated with neonicotinoids in the springs of 2012 and 2013, provoked media and public outrage in Ontario. The provincial government responded with regulations restricting the use of neonicotinoids, where growers must prove they have a crop pest and get a licence to use a neonic seed treatment on corn and soybeans. Entomologists have questioned t h e v a l u e o f t h e re g u l a t i o n s because pesticide exposure is just one of many, many factors that influence bee colony health. “When we asked beekeepers what they consider to be the primary factors for the high losses, the number one reported answer was weather related, followed closely by problems with queens,” said Manitoba provincial apiarist Rheal Lafreniere. The Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists releases estimates of bee winter losses in July. robert.arnason@producer.com

DROUGHT AND ITS EFFECT ON PLANT GROWTH

PESTS

U.S. winds blow in nasty surprises

When a plant senses drought, it deploys a built-in defence system to prevent moisture loss. Here’s how it works: In normal conditions, sunlight passes through the top layer of the leaf (cuticle) into a layer of cells, lined with tiny chlorophyll-containing receptors called chloroplasts. The chloroplasts use the solar energy to create two molecules that react with carbon dioxide and water to produce sucrose, which the plant uses as an energy source to grow and repair itself. Oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct. This process is called photosynthesis.

There has been ample opportunity so far this spring for the migration of harmful insects into the prairies. Owen Olfert, research scientist with Agriculture Canada, tracks wind trajectory maps created by Environment Canada on a daily basis. He has noticed a consistent number of forward trajectories of high altitude air masses moving north into Western Canada from Texas, California and Mexico. “That is fairly unique. We’ve had two or three weeks now where we’ve had winds every week,” said Olfert. Forward trajectories are tracked from 20 sites across the southern U.S. and Mexico. They predict where the high altitude winds from those sites are likely to travel over the next five days. Pests such as the diamondback moth, aster leafhoppers and aphids typically do not overwinter in Canada because it is too cold. They head south to feed on broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower orchards in places like Texas, California and Mexico. “The diamondback moth likes cabbage just as much as it likes canola,” said Olfert. In the spring the insects can catch a ride on high altitude air masses and travel back to Canada to feed on cereal and oilseed crops. In the spring of 2012 those winds transported hordes of aster yellow leafhoppers into the Prairie region leading to an outbreak of aster yellows disease. According to Saskatchewan Agriculture, the outbreak affected 77 percent of the provinces’ canola fields with an average incidence of eight percent, leading to an estimated 2.4 to 5.6 percent yield loss in those fields. Environment Canada also creates reverse trajectories from 50 sites across Canada that model where the winds came from over the past five days. Olfert and his colleagues monitor the forward and reverse trajectories to get a sense of when farmers who provide information to the Prairie Pest Monitoring Network should be out with traps counting insect populations. “It doesn’t say that these pests are going to arrive but it alerts people to be on the lookout,” he said. Farmers are already out in their fields looking for diamondback moths. “It’s usually essential for us to get a handle on those early populations if they show up, just for that reason.” The network hopes to be providing its first weekly update for the growing season in early May. sean.pratt@producer.com

Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air through small holes on the lower epidermis of the leaf called stomata.

In drought conditions, the plant closes its stomata, which when combined with less-than-optimal moisture, causes a drop in the rate of photosynthesis. The plant does not absorb as much solar energy and the chlorophyll breaks down, causing the leaves to yellow. Pigments in the leaves such as carotenoids, which help protect against damage from unused light energy, can also turn the leaves yellow.

Plant sugars collect in the roots to enable them to collect more water through osmosis, and to help the roots spread to seek more water.

Drought: the slow death Plants react quickly to survive in dry conditions but not in a way that is good for yield BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

CALGARY — For a plant living in a prairie field, death by drought lurks just around the next El Nino The physiological trauma that occurs within that plant during drought is a bit more complicated than “it just ran out of water and dried up.” A plant cannot put itself into the “hold mode” for a few extra days waiting for help to arrive in the form of rain, says Dr. David Simbo, crop specialist with the Lakeland Agricultural Research Association in Bonnyville Alta. A plant cannot think. It doesn’t know whether rain is coming

tomorrow or in six weeks. It can only react to the immediate situation, and if that situation is water deprivation, then the dying process automatically begins. “The plant normally takes in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis through the stomata in the leaves,” explains Simbo. “But during drought, as a means of reducing water loss, the plant will close the stomata. When that happens, carbon dioxide no longer goes into the leaves. The process of photosynthesis is hampered by the lack of water and the lack of carbon dioxide. “Chlorophyll, the green pigment in the leaves, starts to break down since it’s not being used.

That’s why a plant at the beginning of drought looks yellowish. The green chlorophyll is breaking down. Now, the plant needs every mineral and metabolizing possible to survive.” Once the yellowing starts, Simbo says nitrogen is pulled off the leaves because it no longer performs its normal functions. Nitrogen instead starts to synthesis proteins to help the plant adapt to the stress. Once it reached that point, it stops growing upward. In its desperate quest for water, all metabolism is now channelled down into the roots, pushing them outward and downward in search of moisture. The roots become longer and root hairs become more

numerous. “In addition, sugars in the roots become more concentrated so they can better absorb water by osmosis. All these things happen so the plant can adapt to that drought stress. “So much of the chance for survival depends on the soil type and porosity, how well it holds the water. If there is enough moisture down deeper in the soil, sometimes that will save the plant. But shoot growth has already been compromised, and so will the productivity and yield.

Auxin research may hold key to heat resistance Advancements in canola plant hormone technology show yield increases, improved resistance to drought stress So far Ozga has experimented with self-pollinating cultivars of canola as well some hybrid varieties, in both the greenhouse and in field trials. “Where we see the kick up in the field is when we’ve got a little bit warmer temperature. But we’ve got only two years worth of studies on only a couple different cultivars,” she said. Further research into which cultivars are responsive to the auxins, and the specific traits that make them responsive, is needed to potentially help in a breeding effort. “If you could breed specific cultivars that are auxin responsive that could give the producers the option to, you know if they plant that cultivar then if it’s going to be hot that year, or they feel that they need a kick up in yield, then they could apply it,” she said.

EDMONTON — When canola crops begin to bloom and the summer heat cranks up to around 30 C, there is nothing growers can do to protect their crops from heatinduced flower and fruit abortion. But that may change as Jocelyn O z g a’s p l a n t a u x i n re s e a rc h advances at the University of Alberta. Auxins are a class of plant hormones that play a crucial role in co-ordinating growth and behavioural process in a plant’s life cycle. “We’re using types of those auxins to see if we can apply on the plant and see if we can stimulate seed yield. Auxins do lots of different things to plants, and one of them is to take the nutrients and transport them from the vegetative parts of the plants to the reproductive parts and seeds,” Ozga said during Murray Hartman’s ScienceO-Rama in Edmonton. Growers would apply the auxins with a one-time foliar application at early reproductive development, when the floral buds are visible but in a tight cluster and the floral axis has not started to bulge. “In the field we’ve seen a kick up in yield anywhere from, where we

She is also fine-tuning which surfactant to put the hormone on to give a consistent effect. The auxin product Ozga is working on is eight to 10 years away from getting registered, but she said because it’s an auxin registration will be made easier. “Of the (auxins) we’ve tried we found that two are so far the most effective. One is a naturally occurring one and one is an auxin analogue. But auxin analogues are used commonly in horticulture crops,” she said. Auxin is the only category plant hormones that are not grouped based on an actual chemical structure, but instead on how the effect plants—they are considered an auxin if they cause a n auxin like response, Ozga said. robin.booker@producer.com

Her goal for the auxins goes beyond producing a crop protection product, and she’s examining whether the auxins can consistently produce increased yields regardless of environmental con-

ditions. “It would be good if it would help under all conditions or normal conditions as well as abiotic stress, so we’re testing them in both. In some of our studies we actually do get increases in yield under both conditions, but it is genotype dependent,” she said.

More funding needed for crop research BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

For Stephen Morgan-Jones, it’s a simple case of math. Statistics Canada data indicates that cereal crop yields increase by about 1.2 to 1.3 percent per year. About half of the yield gain comes from improved crop genetics and the other half from crop management and agronomic technology. Since half of the yield gains come from better agronomy, it’s obvious that agronomic research should receive the same level of attention, said Morgan-Jones, former regional director with Agriculture Canada’s science and technology branch. “Everybody understands that (plant) breeding research is important,” said Morgan-Jones, who runs a consulting firm in Lethbridge called Amaethon Agricultural Solutions. “What I’m saying is, we should probably be investing about the same amount of money in agronomy.” Right now that isn’t happening in Canada, partly because it’s more difficult to attract private dollars to study things like fertilizer rates and seeding timing. Improved agronomy doesn’t always improve the corporate bottom line. Investment in plant breeding, biotech and developing new seeds is usually more lucrative. One way around that obstacle is on-farm research, where individual farmers conduct strip trials and

pool the collective results. John Heard, Manitoba Agriculture soil fertility specialist, said wheat producers are embracing the concept. “I’m not going to slag the Wheat Board… but these new wheat and barley grower associations, they have jumped on board with us (for on-farm research),” said Heard, who did a phone interview while taking soil samples near Carberry, Man. In April the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association said it’s seeking growers to participate in on-farm tests in 2016. On-farm trials will evaluate the efficacy of three fertility practices for wheat: controlled release nitrogen, supplemental nitrogen rates and postanthesis nitrogen. Agronomy coaches, from government or industry, will guide farmer participants through the trials. “Our target is 30 on-farm tests this year,” said Heard, who added that agronomic research isn’t keeping

pace with wheat breeding. “We’re trying to play catch up… because farmers are wanting to grow these grow these varieties that will produce 80 to 100 bushels per acre…. (But) we don’t have the (agronomic) recommendations to get them there.” The Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers Association has recruited producers to do on-farm research for about five years. In 2014 the association officially launched its on-farm research network. The replicated strip trials have been a success, as pulse growers have collectively studied things like seeding rates for soybeans, harvest methods for pinto beans and row spacing for soybeans. Occasionally, growers are interested in testing a certain fertilizer practice or fungicide, separate from a trial. But the power of onfarm research comes from sharing the data, Heard said. “(Farmers) say I’m going to try something else. That’s good. That means you will find out something (about) your farm, for that year,” he said. “But I don’t have time to spend (on that)…. I need to move the industry forward, not an individual farmer forward. The only way we move the industry forward is by pooling these results.” For more information on the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Association and its on-farm research, go to: http://www.mbwheatandbarley.ca/research-projects/ robert.arnason@producer.com

spray early and get ahead by killing the first weed flush — those that can compete against the newly seeded crop. Or spray later and control more weeds with one pass. Do the yield losses add up for later season spraying or can second post-emergent applications be more costly? Dan Holman of the Holman the farming group at Luseland, Sask., says his family has been trying to spray their post-emergent weed control as early as possible and there have been financial rewards from higher yields. He said later season applications tend to favour killing larger numbers of weeds, but the earlier ones tend to produce more grain. “If you have stress (later in the season) at the time you are spraying, you can hurt tillering and heading,” said Holman. “When you apply a pesticide you are trying to protect the yield that is there,” he said referring to the improved tolerance most cereals have to an earlier season application of post-emergent herbicides. “A second flush might come, but the crop usually canopies in and that prevents them from doing much damage,” he said. Neil Harked has spent his career researching weeds and suggests that the clean look of a late-sprayed crop is often misleading. The Agriculture Canada scientist from Lacombe, Alta., said the damage to yields has been mostly shown to take place earlier in the crops’ life cycles, rather than later. Holman said rains might bring some significant second flushes, but that moisture is helping the crop get further ahead as well. “If it gets bad enough, you can still make a smaller application later on, but often it isn’t necessary,” he said. Every year is different and Harker said producers can gauge their own situations, “but if there are no weeds, you can wait.” Holman chose to do that last year and said it worked out well, “due to the lack of moisture.” Chris Mansiere of Bayer Cropscience said it comes down to a farmer’s individual situation. “It’s all about your field. No weed pressure? No worries. “But ask yourself the questions. ‘Did you get the pre-burn on?’ If things were so dry you didn’t, getting in there early is a very good idea.”

Mansiere said there once was a time when post-emergent herbicides could only be used effectively on weeds shortly after their emergence. “The products have gotten better and can be used in wider windows (of application),” he said. Bayer carried out plot trials last season to examine the yield differences between early and late herbicide applications and found that the earlier applications produced greater yields. “If you were going to have to spray the same chemicals at the same rates, at the same cost and get 10 percent more yield you might consider that,” he said about the two timings. In addition to the earlier timing, weeds and crops at later stages are harder to cover with spray. As the canopies tighten up it takes higher water volumes to reach those little plants on the soil’s surface and properly cover the larger weeds that need to receive a proper dose of spray. Harker said research has repeatedly show earlier applications tend to provide bigger yields, often at the equal or lower costs. “No two years are the same, so you can’t always use a recipe to be the most efficient or effective,” he said. “In a dry year, there may not be weeds up to control, and that’s OK,” he said. Harker said that at the same time, producers who wait can find themselves behind in weed control if the weather turns and keeps them out of the field after letting the crop and weed stages advance to more critical levels. There are some well-respected theories about how plants perceive their neighbourhoods. Having higher weed populations in direct proximity to the young, growing crop is thought to contribute to competitive behaviours that don’t result in greater yields for the producer. “While those are just theories, they tend to prove (to be true),” he said. Federal researchers Harker, John O’Donovan, George Clayton, with the Canola Council agronomy head John Mayko, now of Apex and Agritrend, found that in field-scale trials early season applications of herbicides produced significantly higher yields. Experiments were conducted at

several western Canadian locations over variable landscapes. “In eight of 10 cases, imidazolinone resistant canola yield decreased linearly as herbicide application (Odyssey, Tensile or Absolute) was delayed beyond the one- to two-leaf stage. In two of 10 cases, canola oil content also decreased … if treatment was delayed,” the research reported. Assuming canola prices range from a low of $250 per tonne to a high of $650, growers could lose $20 to $53 per acre, respectively, by delaying herbicide application from the one to two leaf stage, to the three-or five-leaf stages. It could also translate into losses of $42 to $111 per acre by delaying herbicide application from the one-to-two stage to the six-to-seven leaf stages If weeds are up before the crop and are not controlled, they can compete with the crop, absorbing water and nutrients that were would have been available for the intended plants. When it comes to cereals, peas, chickpeas, lentils, soybeans and canaryseed, Danielle Eastman of BASF says products like Heat or saflufenacil that can provide extended control after a spring burn off with glyphosate. “There are options, provided it rains (to activate the Heat),” she said. “But there are a lot of products available and it is creating some confusion out there, so producers have to choose carefully,” she said. Some producers use a longer term approach to control in-crop weeds ahead of seeding and apply granular products such as Edge, ethalfluralin, to canola, pea and sunflower fields. Another granular approach, for cereals, other than oats, and canola that helps to retain control after the crop goes in the ground is Avadex, triallate. Mike Grenier of Gowan Canada said producers can improve margins by gaining the advantage of the residual effects of the products. “Plus you can use the (Avadex) Group 8 and Group 3 (Edge) products to control Groups 2 and 4 resistant weeds,” said Grenier. Holman said that “whatever approach you use, getting those weeds out early has been important to our yields. We see it time after time.” michael.raine@producer.com

High capacity soil sampling adds accuracy and economy Falcon removes soil and human error while adding speed BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Soil sampling on-the-go had only been conquered by one company before this season. However this spring that changed as a new player entered the market. With nearly a decade of development and marketing, Agrobotics’ Autoprobe has been the leader in high throughput, precision soil sampling. But there’s a new dirt slinger in town. The Falcon 5000 is an automated soil sampler developed by North Carolina farmer Allan Baucom. The producer wanted his own high capacity soil sampler that could take a high frequency, year-afteryear repeatable soil sample without constant stopping and starting of equipment. “We needed to be able to improve our sampling times. Farmers need to get this things done quickly and with little fuss,” he said. The farmer wanted it tough and able to make high quality samples that a producer could use to get an accurate picture of a field.

Producing soil cores every 15 feet, the Falcon soil sampler drops the cores directly into its stainless steel drum and mixes them, all the while being towed by a pickup or small tractor. The ground driven sampler is monitored on a laptop from the operator’s cab via a wireless connection. Core depths are between 4 and 8.5 inches, depending on the needs of the operator. A remote video camera feeding the laptop provides a view of the operations happening out-back, while the operator drives forward along a GPS-guided path. Field speeds run from eight to 12 miles per hour and the machine can transport at normal highway travel rates. The Falcon had made earlier debuts in 2014 and 2015, but was subject to some refinement prior to reaching the market, with the first one being sold to an eastern Montana producer this spring. The ground driven, 650 pound, five foot diameter drum punches cores with a tapered tubes that extend from its radius. Replaceable tips screw on and off the tubes. “Even heavy stainless steel (tips) can be no match for some rocks,” said Judson Jerome of the company while displaying the unit during Ag Expo at the annual Commodity Classic show in New Orleans. The machine drew steady crowds of producers. “We are aiming this a larger farmers, agronomists, co-ops and consultants,” he said. Depending on the number of samples desired, from the dirt collected every 15 feet, a capture trough extends into the centre of the open drum and removes the blended samples, streaming these into a box or bag mounted on a carousel that holds and labels the containers, keying them to a georeferenced site. A stiff, rotating brush cleans the sampler as it rotates. Mounted on the sampler’s trailer is a Windows based, touch screen computer that handles the operations and feeding the laptop in the tow vehicle’s cab. A dust-proof

metal cabinet contains replacement carousels, containers and tips. Agronomist Harold Reetz is an agronomist with a long history in site-specific agriculture and has used the machine and consulted

Determine cause to curb lamb deaths A post-mortem can help determine if starvation, birth trauma, hypothermia or a disease may be the cause BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Finding one dead lamb is unfortunate. Finding two dead lambs is a concern. Three dead lambs, and the producer had better investigate. Dr. Lynn Tait, a University of Calgary veterinary instructor and coowner of OC Flock Management, offered information on how that investigation can take place. “I’m a huge proponent that, if you have dead neonates, you need to figure out why,” said Tait in a recent webinar organized by Alberta Lamb Producers. “Why is my lamb dead and how could I have prevented this?” She said most lamb deaths in neonates — those she defines as less than one week old — occur in the first three days of life and there are eight primary causes: • stillborn (death in utero) • dystocia • hypothermia • failure to breathe • starvation • failure of passive transfer • trauma • infection Determining cause of death is crucial because it might alert producers about the need to change their management or take corrective measures to prevent future losses. And that means a post-mortem may be required. Tait said producers can do basic post-mortems themselves, which is cheaper than

taking the carcass to a veterinarian. “I think you can triage a lot of your problems if you learn the common things to look for,” she said. First, producers should check for any obvious abnormalities in head size and body shape. Then check the feet to see if the lamb ever rose and walked. That is an important clue in learning cause of death because if the lamb never got up, it never nursed.

I think you can triage a lot of your problems if you learn the common things to look for. LYNN TAIT VETERINARY INSTRUCTOR

Cause of death might be abandonment, hypothermia, starvation or mismothering, said Tait. To explore further, put the lamb on its back, spread the legs and make one incision from navel to tail and another from navel to head. Ribs can be cut along the sternum using scissors. Check the lungs and if they are pink and inflated, it indicates the lamb once drew breath. Dark pink or red lung tissue indicates the opposite. To be sure, Tait said a small piece of the lung should be placed in water. If it sinks, the lamb never breathed,

and that may indicate death during birth from dystocia or possibly suffocation by the placenta. “Does the lung tissue look like normal, health, happy tissue,” asked Tait. If not, it may be a sign the lamb died before birth because lung tissue decomposes quickly. Producers sometimes know the lamb died from a difficult birth, but that is not always obvious, said Tait. Signs of internal bleeding or a ruptured liver are indications of birth trauma, as is fluid under the skin. Those signs could also indicate the lamb was stepped on or squashed. “Often lambs that have come through a difficult birthing or a delayed birthing because of things like malpositioning, they’re stressed … even in the uterus,” said Tait. “They release the meconium, which is that first sort of yellowy manure that they pass, and they come out yellow. They often have yellow staining to the hair… That’s a sign that that fetus has been stressed at birth.” To prevent death from dystocia, Tait suggested using plenty of water-based lubricant when assisting an ewe, and also providing a mild anti-inflammator y like Metacam to the lamb. Back at the post-mortem, checking the abdomen will give clues about possible starvation. Check for milk curd, said Tait. Also check for brown fat around the heart and kidneys and under the intestines. Lambs burn brown fat to stay alive until they get milk.

If the fat is gone and the stomach is empty, starvation was the likely cause of death and may point to mismothering issues, lack of bonding, weak lambs or those too chilled at birth to rise and nurse, said Tait. “Lambs are pretty tough in general and if you can get them dry and you can get food into them, those lambs typically survive quite well. If they start to get hungry, then they’re going to get cold… They may not get up and go nurse.” Tait said that might indicate a need to check ewes more often or change post-lambing management. An aborted or stillborn lamb may show signs of decomposition and the placenta may appear unhealthy. Tait advised caution in handling aborted fetuses because many conditions that cause abortion in small ruminants are contagious and can affect people. Producers should collect stillborn fetuses and any afterbirth they can find because the cause is often diagnosed from the placenta rather than the fetus itself. The material can be frozen until a veterinarian can examine it. One or two stillbirths may not signal a problem but three may indicate a contagious organism is at work, she said. As for death from other causes, Tait said navel infections are a concern but they don’t usually kill within the first week of life. If the cause of death still isn’t obvious after a post mortem, “those are

LAMBING PROTOCOL At birth: • dip navels in 7% iodine • put ewes and lambs in claiming pen • weigh lambs for records Within 12 hours: • insure lambs got enough colostrum • supplement with additional colostrum if necessary • pay attention to colostrum needs of triplets 24-48 hours: • tag lambs • apply tail rings • apply castration rings 48-72 hours: • turn out singles and twins with ewe • keep triplets in claiming pen for at least 72 hours and turn out in separate group • treat against coccidiosis Source: OC Flock Management Inc.

the ones that maybe then you give your veterinarian a call.” Tait said management is often the key to lamb survival. “A lot more neonates die from mismanagement than they do from actual disease,” she said. “Do not assume without further investigation that you are actually correct in why it died.” barb.glen@producer.com

GRASSLANDS

Grazing grasslands boosts plant productivity Studies show livestock grazing controls shrubs, increases carbon storage and forage plant production and plant varieties BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

THORSBY, Alta.â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With the right incentives livestock producers could create designer landscapes. Ongoing studies show grasslands have considerable environmental benefit that offer monetary and societal benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grasslands provide far more than just forage production,â&#x20AC;? said Ed Bork, Matthies chair in range management at the University of Alberta. Ongoing studies show healthy grasslands control greenhouse gas emissions, act as a sink for carbon, provide flood mitigation, filter water, control pollination and provide wildlife habitat to build biodiversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we do not put an economic incentive there for producers to retain and maintain and maybe even increase that resource we are in danger of losing those habitats,â&#x20AC;? said Bork at a drought management workshop in Thorsby, Alta. A major grassland benchmarking study funded by the now defunct Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency assessed decomposition rates, grazing impacts on carbon accumulation and greenhouse gas emissions as well as showed the positive benefits of keeping livestock on the land. This unique study took advantage of 114 long term research plots across the province taking in six different regions from dry mixed grasslands, foothills, montane and parklands. Some of these sites are at least 70 years old and provided a snapshot of how these grasslands manage with and without long term live-

Grazing livestock improves biodiversity by preventing dominant plants from taking over. | stock grazing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives us an understanding of whether grazing is actually increasing or neutrally affecting carbon or possibly decreasing it,â&#x20AC;? he said. They looked at how much carbon is above and below ground as well as the amount held in live and dead vegetation. They also looked at how grazing affected biodiversity and studies from around the world complemented their findings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you remove grazing for an extended period of time you actually get stagnation in the plant community and you get a few dominant plants that out compete everything else,â&#x20AC;? he said. In the parklands and foothills regions there was an overall biodiversity boost in the grazed areas. In some cases some new plant species were introduced. They found, with the exception of noxious weeds, these plants increased forage production and carbon storage. Semi arid grasslands with less than 350 mm (or 14 inches) of moisture per year showed greater

resistance to species invasion. Overall, long-term exposure to grazing had a wider array of species and better plant productivity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you hear people talk about removing grazing from public land, I am astonished and opposed to that because grazing â&#x20AC;Ś..adds productivity,â&#x20AC;? he said. Bork also noted productivity in these different regions bounce up and down because of rainfall. Another benefit of livestock grazing was shrub encroachment control. In the moister foothills and montane regions there is up to 20 percent shrub cover. Widespread fire suppression in these regions has allowed more shrubs to move in so cattle are replacing fire as a means of shrub control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a completely unexpected benefit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The long term, ongoing exposure to livestock grazing is a natural biological control agent that is helping to keep shrub encroachment in check,â&#x20AC;? he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

MANE EVENT

Horse owners warned of toxins in feed BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mycotoxins are starting to appear in horse feed causing serious health consequences. Mycotoxins are harmful compounds from mould or fungus in feedstuffs. They can have harmful effects on all species, but less is known about the adverse effects on horses, said David Craig, a feed company owner from Ontario. Craig provided a synopsis of how these compounds cause everything from respiratory problems to death during the Mane Event, a major horse trade show held in Red Deer April 21-24. These compounds are showing up in grain, forages, water troughs or bedding like straw or wood shavings. If a horse starts to develop a range of health problems like gastric ulcers or respiratory illness, feed could be the cause. The best way to know if there is infection in feed or bedding is to get it tested at an accredited laboratory. Multiple mycotoxins may be

present and together they are even more toxic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no magic bullet for prevention. There is no product you can go to the store and buy. We have to consider management and preventive programs,â&#x20AC;? he said. Many people use large bale feeders but may not notice a white or bluish mould inside the bales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very few people look on the inside after the horses have ripped it apart,â&#x20AC;? he said. Or, the mould may be noticed and that part is not used but there could be contamination throughout the entire bale. Horse owners should also be on the lookout for pinkish discolouration in grain or bluish grey mould in silage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These do very nasty things internally to your horses,â&#x20AC;? said Craig. Dirty water troughs or pails can play a role if there is biofilm around the side of the trough. Chlorine is needed to remove it. There are some specific toxins found in grain, hay or alfalfa cubes or forage. Aflatoxins could be found in corn, soybean meal, hay cubes or alfalfa pellets resulting in an array of prob-

lems including tremors, weight loss, poor appetite, yellowing of the eye, bleeding and blood in urine or feces. Ochratoxins may be found in corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, grass, hay or straw and could cause kidney damage. DON and T-2 toxins can be found in corn, wheat, oats, rye and barley. They could cause reduced feed intake, lower immunity, liver damage and weight loss, especially in high performance horses. Fumansins are ver y toxic to horses and could result in permanent neurological damage. Animals walk like they are drunk. These appear in corn, wheat, oats, rye and barley. Zearalenone may be present in corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, hay and straw. Abortions, uterine hemorrhaging and other reproductive tract problems may occur. Ergot and alkaloids are also found in a variety of grains. They could cause gestational problems, fetal losses, dead foals and difficulty producing milk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diagnosis is a big challenge but the indicators are there and you have to look for them,â&#x20AC;? he said.

NATIONAL ALPACA FUTURITY SHOW AND SALE

GRASSLAND BENEFITS

Alpacas stand the test of time Industry is healthy and attempts to build value-added sector are progressing

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Leduc, Alta., next August. More than 150 animals were registered for the futurity event at the national show and sale held April 8-9 in Red Deer. The sale offered 24 young males and females. The top seller came from Rick and Evelyn Derksen of High Plains Alpacas of Saskatoon. They sold a pure white female born in 2014 for $9,250. Another high seller came from Tom Vanhanen and Lori Jones, ow ners of Ar r iba Alpacas in Uxbridge, Ont. They sold a bay coloured female born in 2014 for $7,000 to Sun Star Alpacas in Germany. The most recent census information in 2011 said there were 4,100 farms and 31,500 llamas and alpacas. Statistics Canada does not separate the llama and alpaca population.

THORSBY, Alta. — There is tremendous potential to store carbon in grasslands but that ability is under appreciated, says a University of Alberta researcher. Grasslands store 10 to 30 percent of the world’s organic carbon. Temperate grasslands contain more than 300 gigatons of carbon. About nine gigatons are found in plants and the rest is stored in the soil. A gigaton is one billion metric tons. “This represents a very significant benefit to society that this carbon is being retained in the ground where it should be,” said Ed Bork at a recent drought management workshop in Thorsby, Alta. Soil carbon improves fertility and does not contribute to emissions in the atmosphere. He and others are researching the capability of grasslands to store carbon as well as the possible environmental correlation with managed livestock grazing. Plants take in solar energy, convert it to carbon and store it in the soil. His work shows there is about 80 tonnes per hectare in prairie grasslands while cropland stores 60 tonnes per hectare. About 90 percent of the parklands region of the prairies has been cultivated so carbon was released into the atmosphere. “Much of the carbon in the atmosphere is also attributed to land use change, not just in North America but in other parts of the world,” he said. Alberta charges heavy emitters $15 per tonne for carbon dioxide equivalents. That will increase to $30 a tonne in January. Crop farmers can earn money by adopting practices like minimum tillage in the carbon trading market but those activities never return the element to its original state. Bork contends grazing and carbon storage are linked and his research is looking at which system is most beneficial. Preliminar y results showed more methane stayed in the soil when the grassland was exposed to grazing. Assessments are done with special monitors to measure gas emissions on selected sites. Researchers noticed intensive, continuous grazing, or mob grazing with high intensity but low frequency, results in more methane uptake by the soil. “Our grazing system can actually reduce greenhouse gas footprints by taking methane out of the atmosphere,” he said. Government needs to develop a policy to reward producers who maintain grasslands because of the link between greenhouse gas reduction and grazing, he said. However when crops like canola are high value, farmers make different choices. “Economics are going to drive everything. When you have got $11 canola, that is going to drive decisions.”

RED DEER —Through thick and thin, some alternative livestock breeds have withstood the test of time. Alpacas have been among the survivors. “A lot of exotics don’t make it, and I think alpacas themselves have held the industry together,” said Debbie Bruynooghe of North Battleford, Sask. She got into the business 10 years ago and has 40 animals on the farm she calls Spellbound Alpacas. She also found herself in an industry that was competitive but friendly. Owning cute and cuddly animals was an added benefit, she said during the National Alpaca Futurity Show and Sale in Red Deer, April 9. “The alpaca industry is really unique with the camaraderie alongside the competitiveness, and so you form really good relationships with other breeders and you work together to support the industry,” she said. A buying frenzy to get in on the ground floor often broke out when many alternative livestock species entered Canada. Small fortunes were paid for animals, but few had a plan for the commercial side of the business. Alpacas came to Canada in the late 1980s from South America. A large group of more than 350 arrived in the early 1990s from South America via New Zealand, where they were first held in quarantine. The end game for alpacas is finding a market for the fleece, which is a high end natural fibre. Most of the original animals were white, but today they come in 22 colours from pure white to true black. Many breeders have on-farm stores or find other local markets, but volume is needed to publicize the product and earn a profit. Three Saskatchewan breeders who are also master fibre workers decided to form a new company and buy fleece from Canadian breeders on a per pound basis, get it processed and then sell it through retail outlets. About 18 months ago, Cathy Newby of Dinsmore, Cathy Merkley of Lloydminster and Lynn Hilderman formed Alpaca Naturally. Merkley and Hilderman are certified judges and classers. They sort the fleece into six classes based on quality. Grades one and two fibre are worth $10 per pound. Grade six fleece is worth about $4 per lb. They look at the colour, overall quality and micron count. A micron is a measurement of the diameter of each fibre. The lower the number, the finer the

The fibre is handled similarly to wool, but it does not contain lanolin and the scale surface is different so it feels softer. “We are about the commercial industry. We wanted to be repeatable, we want to be sustainable and we want the quality to be the same, year after year,” said Newby. There are two main spinning mills : Custom Wool Mills at Carstairs, Alta., and Masters Mills in Ontario.

Yarn comes in natural and dyed skeins and may be further processed into socks, hats, mitts, shawls and other garments. It may be knitted, woven or felted. “So far we have been able to source all Canadian manufacturers. We prefer to stay home,” she said. All three women have been in the business at least 20 years and saw that the next step had to be value added. Past attempts to build a commercial industry faltered. “We were ahead of our time,” Newby said. The company is new, but they are covering expenses at this point and are sure there is a profit to be made as the products get into more retail stores. They attend as many shows and sales as possible to promote the company and hope to be part of the world show to be held in

VARIED CALVING SEASON, SHARING BULLS

Ways to improve breeding efficiency, save money ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

here are many ways producers can improve breeding efficiencies and lower their

costs. Sharing bulls with like-minded producers is one cost-saving option. Another is using synchronization programs with artificial insemination. Dairy producers already use sexed semen, which may become more available in the beef industry down the road. In the past dairy operators needed to keep all the replacements they could but with sexed semen there is now an abundance of good replacement heifers available. This allows them to consider breeding their older cows to beef bulls, which should dramatically increase the sales value of their calves. Many purebred beef producers have semen for sale, which dairymen could access. Dairy producers use their AI skills anyway and this creates a co-operative spirit between dairy and beef sectors that may have been lacking in the past. This could have a particular benefit to the Jersey breeds because most of their bull calves have almost no market value. Dairy producers breed all year around so their AI skills are second to none. There is not a purebred beef breeder out there that would not have semen to sell to dairymen. Dairy semen is fairly inexpensive, especially from younger sires, so I am sure they have been scared off by the high price of beef semen in advertisements. But cheaper semen might also be available. Many purebred beef producers have semen in storage from bulls they are no longer promoting or using that would be great for crossbreeding with dairy cows. Dairy cattle have few issues calving so these crossbreds would be very “growthy” and saleable calves. The crossbred offspring are often sought after for recipients in an embryo program because of their great milking ability. But remember, these half-bloods can still have dairy metabolic diseases such as milk fever, ketosis and mastitis so may need to be managed a bit differently or they can be put in the feedlot where more muscling and growth should return profit to the owner. Sharing bulls The var ied calving seasons between producers or on the same large operations have allowed exceptional bulls to have two or more breeding seasons. But it is still the most profitable to have a confined breeding season. Numerous articles have been written on this, but a 63-day, threecycle breeding program is probably ideal. Most top producers run just over two cycles with their

breeding heifers. You are selecting for fertility when breeding heifers for only two cycles. The open heifers that you cull can go to the feedlot and return top dollar. By breeding heifers one cycle early you allow them more time after their first calf to get ready for rebreeding and can watch them a little closer at calving season. Bred heifers can have more mothering, milking and calving issues so they will require more attention. If a large operation has a spring and fall calving program no additional bulls are needed. The bulls will need one to two months between seasons to regain weight and heal any nagging injuries, especially penile

ulcers and contusions. Two breeding seasons may be more beneficial to the longevity of bulls because in the off season bulls often are put in small pens and they get fat, develop long hooves and essentially get out of shape. This extra fat in the scrotum can hinder their fertility. Two producers with different breeding seasons but several things in common such as management skills, herd health programs and breed preferences could share breeding bulls, allowing them to afford better quality animals. When sharing bulls, both herds should be on the same type of health program regarding parasite control, preventive shots, and biosecurity measures.

The two operations will have to agree upon details such as who keeps the bull in the off-season. I recommend semen testing before each breeding season to identify problems that may have developed. Select your herd bulls wisely whether through natural breeding or A.I. Bulls provide half the genetics in your herd so spend time making the best possible breeding choices. With high value bulls, semen is often collected even if just for onfarm use. It acts as an insurance program. If both owners breed at one time, one will have the “walking rights” of the bull and the other gets the A.I. rights thus effectively using a valuable productive bull.

There are many effective options now available for synchronization programs allowing many cows to be bred quickly, especially when using skilled AI technicians. This reduces the length of the calving season, maximizes genetic gain and reduces breeding cost. Your goal should be to confine the breeding season and use the best genetics you can afford. If interested in synchronization programs, talk to your veterinarian who will likely have a method they have used successfully. Here’s to a very fertile breeding season.

Tight supply supports price Land supply is limited as retired farmers hang on to ownership, enjoying good rental income

NAME

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Low interest rates are contributing to low inventories of farmland available for sale, a farm realtor contends. Ben Van Dyk of Real Estate Centre in Alberta said older farmers are choosing to rent land upon retirement because that pays more than selling it and earning interest on the banked proceeds. “They just hang on to what they know best,” Van Dyk said at an April 28 lunch meeting organized by the Canadian Association of Farm Advisors. “That land is not coming to the market right now and that causes the price to substantially go up.” Farm Credit Canada’s 2015 farmland values report, released in midApril, showed a 10.1 percent increase across Canada, lower than the 14.3 percent increase seen in 2014 and much lower than the 22.1 percent increase in 2013. Nevertheless, Van Dyk said farmland continues to be an excellent investment and he predicts continued double-digit value increases over the next five years. Canadian farmland values since

1951 have averaged a seven percent increase annually, he said. Over the next 50 years, he thinks that approximate average will hold true. Agricultural commodity prices contributed to land value increases over the past three years. Now that those prices are dropping, unirrigated land suitable only for small grains or pasture could see lower rates in coming years, Van Dyk said. The global money supply is the other major factor keeping land off the market. With interest rates low and likely to remain so, investors seek more lucrative profit vehicles for their money. “The money supply has dramatically changed since 1974 when

everything was based upon gold,” Van Dyk said. “Nowadays … the money supply has increased to reflect the growth in the economy. If the economy grows three percent, in principle the money supply is increased three percent and that money is always looking for the highest and best yield and the most steady supply.” Investors seeking higher returns are not likely to consider farmland, and owners will not offer land for sale if they don’t believe they can obtain a good price. “Land availability in Canada is at an all-time low as investors from across Canada have substantial access to capital.” Farmland bordering cities, where urban sprawl is a factor, has always been in demand, said Van Dyk. However, the economic downturn in Alberta and Saskatchewan, primarily related to the energy industry, has cooled those prices as well. Industrial land is also less attractive, he said, in part because of the s l ow e r e c o n o my a n d i n p a r t because of other options. As an example, Van Dyk said industrial property in Lethbridge city sells for $250,000 to $300,000

an acre. If a new business needs five acres, it would be better off to spend $1.2 million to buy 80 acres in Lethbridge County. Then it could use part of the land for the business and farm the rest, gaining benefit from commodity sales and from a lower tax rate. In its recent report, FCC said the 11.6 percent increase in Alberta farmland values in 2015 was the result of many producers “purchasing land for expansion or to support succession planning.” The report specifically mentioned strong pulse crop prices as one reason for land value increases. In Saskatchewan, where farmland values overall rose 9.4 percent in 2015, FCC said prices in almost half the province were stable or lower than in 2014. It noted limited land available for purchase in Saskatchewan and high demand for property on urban fringes. Manitoba had the biggest farmland value increase in Canada for 2015 at 12.4 percent. FCC attributed that to farm expansion plans driven by a good crop year. barb.glen@producer.com

Factors to consider for income splitting on family farm

Australia blocks sale to Chinese for second time in six months

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

here is a tax advantage to splitting farm income among the members of a family. The more income you have, the higher tax rate you have to pay, so spreading income out among you, your spouse and even your children can have a huge tax benefit. It is fairly common for small business owners to try to split their income by paying their spouse and children. However, paying salaries to family members may not be as straightforward as you think. There are r ules limiting the amount of income splitting that can be done. A key rule is that the wage must be reasonable. But what exactly does reasonable mean? Obviously, there are many opinions. The following are some good rules of thumb to help determine

reasonableness: First, the family member you are paying has to actually work for your business. For example, the Canada Revenue Agency would likely reject as unreasonable the case of a prairie farmer paying a salary to his son who lives in Toronto throughout the year. Secondly, the amount you pay your family member has to make sense. A good measure of this is to look at how much you would pay a non-family member for the same responsibilities. However, sometimes these situations are not clear. For example, some may argue the added trust and management capabilities that you can expect from a family member are worth a premium above the standard wage. The courts have helped to define reasonable wages. Cases in recent years have looked at the reasonability of wages paid to a spouse. The court first looked for the employment contract and the hours of work of the spouse. As you would expect, there was no employment contract and hours of work were not recorded. This was an issue. However, ultimately the courts looked at the duties the spouse performed to determine reasonability. This shows how important it is to

look at what tasks the family member is expected to perform to earn the wage or salary paid. When deciding to pay family members you must also consider the costs of payroll taxes such as Canada Pension Plan contributions and employment insurance premiums. These costs may outweigh the tax savings that you get from paying your spouse or children. Another income splitting option is to pay your family member on a contract basis, such as custom work. This often provides a deductable expense, while not paying the extra costs of having a full or part time employee. However, this strategy can have some repercussions, so be sure to discuss with a tax advisor before using it. Implementing an income splitting strategy can be complicated and involves a lot of professional judgment. The rules can be complex and each personal situation can be different. It is important to talk with a professional accountant.

SYDNEY, April 29 (Reuters) — The Australian government has blocked the sale of ranching company S. Kidman & Co, the country’s largest private land holding, to a Chinese-led consortium for the second time in six months, again saying the sale is not in the national interest. Treasurer Scott Morrison said he had given China’s Hunan Dakang Pasture Farming Co. Ltd. and Shanghai CRED Real Estate Stock Co. Ltd. until Tuesday to address the government’s concerns over the A$371 million (C$356 million) offer. Ownership of farmland is a sensitive issue in Australia amid concerns that foreign buyers are snapping up properties to cash in on a boom in Asian food demand. The government’s finding comes just weeks before the country holds federal elections. Morrison said he was concerned about S. Kidman’s vast land assets falling into offshore hands and the difficulty of Australian bidders in launching a rival offer because of the size of the holdings. The Kidman lands are about 2.5 percent of Australia’s agricultural land. Kidman’s 10 cattle stations have pastoral leases on more than 100,000 sq km (25 million acres) of land spread across Western Austral i a , t h e N o r t h e r n Te r r i t o r y , Queensland and South Australia. Morrison rejected a previous Chinese-led offer for the ranching company — whose land holdings

are the size of South Korea — just six months ago. That denial led S. Kidman to eliminate some lands from the current offer to Hunan Dakan and Shanghai CRED. S. Kidman said they were “disappointed and confused” by the Treasurer’s decision. The Chinese bidders will go back to the government to ask “whether any kind of further remix of Chinese and Australian investment in the consortium would be acceptable and whether or not there is land area and herd size limits that may be acceptable,” said Greg Campbell, S. Kidman’s chief executive officer and managing director. An Australian company, DomaCom attempted to crowd fund about A$400 million (C$383 million) from self-managed superannuation investors to buy S. Kidman. “The form in which the Kidman portfolio has been offered as a single aggregated asset, has rendered it difficult for Australian bidders to be able to make a competitive bid,” said Morrison. The previous offer for S. Kidman by two Chinese companies, Genius Link Asset and Shanghai Pengxin, had raised red flags because Kidman’s Anna Creek cattle station in South Australia state is close to an Australian military rocket test site. Kidman had agreed under the new deal to remove Anna Creek from the sale.

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.
