RESEARCH

Cattle feed additive could boost immunity BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A Canadian company has developed a potential alternative to prophylactic antibiotic use in livestock. Avivagen president Cameron Groome said the product’s development is well timed, given ongoing concerns about antibiotic resistant bacteria, antibiotic use in livestock and food company initiatives to use meat from animals never given antibiotics. The feed additive, called OxCbeta, is derived from carotenoids, which are the pigments that make carrots orange and tomatoes red. Groome said peer-reviewed research in Canada and several Asian countries shows OxC-beta i m p rov e s i m mu n e a n d a nt i inflammatory functions in poultry and hogs. “You’re actually strengthening the immune function of the animal in such a way that it doesn’t need to be fed antibiotics to stay healthy in a production environment, and that’s what we’ve been demonstrating,” said Groome.

Canadian lentils sub-par? International buyers disappointed in quality of Canadian lentil exports BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SEAN PRATT REPORTS FROM THE GLOBAL PULSE CONVENTION IN CESME, TURKEY, ABOUT WHAT IS DRIVING PULSE MARKETS

CESME, Turkey — Some international buyers of Canadian lentils are not happy with the quality they’re getting. “As millers, we are very disappointed in the quality the Canadian system allows suppliers to supply as lentils,” said Saifuddin Abidali, chair of Mufaddal, an Egyp-

tian pulse crop miller. “We don’t know what we’re buying,” Abidali told delegates attending the 2016 Global Pulse Convention in Turkey. “It’s a very serious problem, mainly with the bulk shippers.” He said Canada’s grading system is designed to camouflage the true quality of lentil shipments. “They have adjusted the grades to

suit the shippers and not the buyers,” Abidali said in an interview following the lentil market outlook presentation. He believes the specifications for a No. 2 quality lentil are far too broad and need to be tightened because often what he receives is what he considers to be No. 3 quality product.

PULSE MARKETING

Pulse sector brand created to boost global demand Sean Pratt attended the 2016 Global Pulse Convention in Turkey and filed this report. More stories are featured on page one and in our Markets section. CESME, Turkey — Plenty of competition exists in the global pulse industry, but there is one area where countries are co-operating. “We’re ready to start rolling out the marketing of the global brand,” said Gord Bacon, chief executive officer of Pulse Canada. The brand is a joint initiative of the Global Pulse Confederation, the American Pulse Association, the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council and Pulse Canada. It can be used for promotional purposes by food manufacturers, retailers, traders, exporters, growers, pulse industry associations, government, non-government organizations and research institutes. The objective is to increase consumer awareness and stimulate global pulse demand. “What we’ve lacked until recently in the pulse industry is a common front to work together,” Bacon told delegates attending the 2016 Global Pulse Convention in Turkey. Organizations will pay a US$50 administrative fee to use the brand on promotional material. Growers, exporters processors, food and pet food manufacturers, retailers and foodservice providers can pay a $1,500 annual fee to use the brand on food labels and advertising. They can use it on an unlimited number of products as long as they meet the eligibility criteria of pulse ingredients accounting for five percent of the formulation by weight and being one of the top five ingredients by weight. Daria Lukie, manager of brand development with Pulse Canada, said it is nice to have an image that

universally represents pulses. “People don’t know what pulses are and they don’t have something that they can see and recognize,” she said. Food companies are already starting to use the brand on their packaging, including the Princes Food and Drink Group, a British company that supplies European grocery stores. “They have the pulse brand coming out right now with 82 million cans,” said Lukie. Major food companies such as General Mills, the Campbell Soup Company and Loblaws have also expressed interest in using the brand. The brand is flexible and can be customized for the desired message in different markets, such as adding a health claim. It was developed in consultation with a brand advisory committee, which had representatives from Africa, India, Canada and the United States. It will be administered by the Global Pulse Confederation’s brand management committee, which includes representatives from Canada, the United States, India, Australia and Turkey. Bacon said the brand is a way to carry on the momentum built by the 2016 International Year of the Pulse. sean.pratt@producer.com

MANITOBA GOVERNMENT

KAP welcomes gov’t action on interprovincial trade The Progressive Conservatives are moving on the New West Partnership agreement to reduce red tape across provincial borders BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba’s agri-businesses should be thrilled that the new provincial government is aggressively seizing trade opportunities, says the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce. “We’ve got a government that is sending all the right messages to business, that they’re in favour of looking at all those trade opportunities and working with Manitoba businesses to take full advantage of those when they come into fruition,” said MCC president Chuck Davidson. One of the earliest acts of premier Brian Pallister’s new Progressive Conservative government was to begin negotiations to sign the New

West Partnership agreement, which includes Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Canada has many interprovincial trade barriers and complexities, but the New West Partnership is a forum in which the three governments, and probably soon Manitoba, can eliminate, reduce and mitigate regulatory complications that stop businesses operating across provincial lines. Agriculture and food production are industries particularly affected by cross-border complications with services such as trucking often facing different rules in different provinces. Those rules are evening out to the west of Manitoba, and Davidson said he hopes to see more wrinkles removed once Manitoba is a member.

DAN MAZIER KEYSTONE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS

Keystone Agricultural Producers president Dan Mazier was also pleased to see Pallister move on the New West Partnership. “We’re so integrated into each other, as the western part of Canada,” said Mazier. “Being isolated in a province that

is landlocked is not a good idea. It puts you in really awkward situations.” Many interprovincial complications lie to the east as well, so Davidson is hoping that Manitoba joining the New West Partnership helps create momentum for further cross-Canada improvements. “We’d love to see that consistency across Canada, but this is a good start for Manitoba,” said Davidson. The Pallister government also pleased many food processors and producers by quickly stating its strong support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. He said the provincial government doesn’t have much say over whether the international trade deal is approved, but showing that

it understands the importance of trade and exports sends a good signal. “They look at these as tremendous opportunities,” Davidson said about food processors. “We’re obviously hugely in favour.” KAP is also happy about the support for TPP, but Mazier said it also hopes the provincial government stays attuned to the worries of supply-managed sectors, who are concerned about the TPP. “I think it’s good that they’re encouraging (TPP) because 80 percent of our goods we export … but don’t forget we have a very goodrunning sector of supply management farmers,” said Mazier. ed.white@producer.com

BUYERS DISAPPOINTED » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 There can be a $100 per tonne difference between what he paid for and what he receives. “That’s a lot of money,” he said. Abidali said he does not have the same issue with product from Australia, which is why he is shifting his business to that exporting region. “They’re more honest about grading,” he said. He insisted that he is not the only buyer who has a problem with Canadian product. “You ask any miller in this room and they’ll have the same problem with Canada.” Other buyers indeed echoed Abidali’s concerns. “I completely agree with you,” said Sudhakar Tomar, managing director of Hakan Agro, a company that exports US$1.5 billion o f a g r i c u l t u ra l c o m m o d i t i e s annually. He said the quality needs to match the demand, but that is not the case with Canadian lentils. Anis Majeed, chair of the Karachi Wholesale Grocers Association, said the quality of Canadian lentil shipments tends to change based on what kind of crop was harvested. For example, the definition of what constitutes a top quality lentil becomes more lenient if growing conditions are poor. “If the No. 1 crop is not grown, it should be No. 2 or No. 3,” he said. “Sometimes we have to handle a very difficult situation because the quality is not as per the standard which has been sold.” Gord Bacon, chief executive officer of Pulse Canada, said he thinks the issue is that there is a wide divide between the bottom and the top of the No. 2 grade. However, he said Canada’s grading system can also work in favour of buyers. A buyer could pay for No. 2 and receive No. 1 quality lentils in years when weather conditions are favourable for producing good quality lentils. He encourages buyers to provide detailed language in contracts about their quality specifications and how disputes will be resolved. Bacon said the Canadian industry pays close attention to customer criticisms. A number of years ago, the industry lowered the moisture content level on lentils based on feedback from buyers. Pulse Canada will delve deeper into the complaint that surfaced at the convention and take it back for discussion with the board of directors. Bacon said buyers are happier with Australian lentils because they are harvested during the heat of summer and subsequently have low moisture levels. “They’re going into summer when they har vest and we’re headed into winter,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com FOR MORE STORIES FROM TURKEY, SEE PAGE 3, AND OUR MARKETS SECTION, WHICH STARTS ON PAGE 6.

PREDATOR CONTROL

Hunting the hunters Livestock producers say wolf populations are growing and moving into new territories BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

ROBLIN, Man. — Gary Fletcher looks exactly how a cattleman should look. With a greying mustache and the eyes of someone who has spent countless hours peering into the distance looking for cattle, Fletcher wore cowboy boots, spurs, chaps, a black hat and a scarf on a stormy afternoon in late May. Fletcher, manager of a community pasture near Roblin, Man., chooses to dress in the customary cowboy gear, but he also carries a traditional tool for the job: a rifle. The gun isn’t a decoration. He has used it more than 20 times to shoot wolves that attacked cattle in Manitoba’s Parkland region. Fletcher was a pasture manager near Ethelbert, Man., for 17 years before taking a position at the Roblin community pasture this year. Standing by a corral at the pasture, Fletcher said there’s been an upsurge in wolf attacks over the last five to 10 years near Manitoba’s Duck Mountain Provincial Park. “There was the odd kill (17 years ago, but) it gradually started increasing…. This past season there were certain areas of the (Ethelbert) pasture where we were having one kill a week,” Fletcher said inside a shed next to the corral as hail hammered down on the metal roof. “That’s a 350 to 400 pound calf on a weekly basis until we were

able to target that one (wolf) and got him.” However, the increase in wolf attacks isn’t limited to cattle ranches adjacent to Duck Mountain and Riding Mountain National Park. Wolves have also moved well outside their traditional range and now populate southern and western parts of Manitoba, Fletcher said. “You talk to other (pasture) managers in different areas, like Spy Hill (at the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border) or Gardenton south of Winnipeg, areas where we’ve never seen wolves before, all of a sudden there are wolves everywhere.” Fletcher estimated that he or employees had to kill about 100 troublesome wolves during his 17 years as pasture manager at Ethelbert. Len Angus, who raises purebred Limousin cattle north of Roblin, has also witnessed the recent change in wolf behaviour. Moose and elk have migrated out of Duck Mountain Provincial Park over the last decade, and the wolves followed their natural prey. They begin to target cattle once outside the park, Angus said. “A wolf takes its lunch wherever it’s easiest. They’re finding out that cattle are easy,” said Angus, whose home is only 1.6 kilometres from the park boundary. “Not just in Roblin. Anywhere you go in the province, people are having trouble with predators. And they’re having trouble with wolves,

not just coyotes…. One guy down there on the edge of the park (Riding Mountain), three years ago, he lost 19 calves to wolves.” Wolves have killed seven calves and attacked one cow on Angus’s ranch over the last couple of years. Mark Angus, Len’s son, said the province does compensate ranchers for livestock predation, but it only covers a fraction of the financial loss. For example, the loss can be substantial if wolves kill two purebred calves. “(If) those two cows because of the stress (of predators) … come in void, then we’re out two calf crops,” Mark said. “Say a low dollar value, $4,000 a calf, we’re out $16,000. How many businesses can cover $16,000 worth of loss?” Angus said there’s an obvious solution to the problem: cull the wolf population outside of the parks. “If they (the government) would pay a $400 bounty on wolves, we probably wouldn’t need to worry about them,” he said. “It’s just an overpopulation of the wolves.” There are other ways to prevent predators from attacking livestock, such as using dogs, donkeys or llamas to protect the herd. Those prevention strategies might work with coyotes but not with wolves, Angus said. “A coyote and a wolf, they’re totally different animals,” he said. “They talk about Great Pyre-

nees dogs, but (a neighbour) had two Great Pyrenees and the wolves killed them.” Fletcher agreed that guard animals don’t always work with wolves. “Around Valley River, closer to Dauphin, there was a farm that had two donkeys, three horses and a llama,” he said. “The wolves came in there and killed the llama and two donkeys.” In 2011, the provincial government introduced an incentive program to reduce the wolf population in the Duck Mountain Provincial Park and other hunting areas in the region. The province offered $250 per trapped wolf because the moose population in the area was declining. Angus said the program hasn’t been effective. “It obviously hasn’t worked for us because everyone around the park is still having problems (with wolves).” Angus said cattle producers and government wildlife experts recognize that a wolf cull is necessary, but policy makers are dancing around the obvious solution. Politicians know that placing a bounty on wolves is risky because the wolf is an iconic species. “These answers you get from (the government), they’re all scripted,” Angus said. “As long as man has been here … (we) have had to cull wolves. It’s no different today.” robert.arnason@producer.com

PREDATOR CONTROL

Wolf control measures are working: biologist Researchers say wolf populations in Manitoba are stable, thanks to incentive programs BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A provincial biologist says the evidence doesn’t support the theory that Manitoba’s wolf population is growing and that attacks on cattle are more frequent. For five years, the provincial government has paid trappers $250 per wolf caught in Duck Mountain Provincial Park and other areas where the moose population is at risk. Hank Hristienko, a big game biologist with Manitoba Sustainable Development who specializes in bears, moose and wolves, said the incentive program has cut into the wolf population in the Parkland region. “Wolf numbers have been kept lower, over the last five years, during the term of the program,” he said. “That is one area (of the province) where wolf numbers are down compared to other areas.” Hristienko also said wolf predation claims, which compensate livestock producers for animal losses, are basically unchanged across Manitoba. “Based on the past five years … claims have remained about the same.” Some ranchers may assume that a declining moose population means wolves lack prey and are turning their attention to cattle. Hristienko said there’s no link between moose numbers and the likelihood of attacks on cattle because moose are a secondary food source for wolves.

Statistics may not show an increase in wolf attacks, but the province does want to mitigate wolflivestock “conflicts” in Manitoba and is working on a predation management strategy. | FILE PHOTO The province and the University of Manitoba conducted a joint study to evaluate a wolf’s diet in the Parkland region. They found that wolves prefer to prey on elk and deer. “The species of choice in the (Duck Mountains) is deer. The species of choice in the Riding Mountain area is elk,” Hristienko said. “Moose, on average, would be in around the 20 percent mark (of

the diet), where deer and elk, depending on the area, would be closer to 50 to 60 percent.” Statistics may not show an increase in wolf attacks, but the province does want to mitigate wolf-livestock “conflicts” in Manitoba. As a result, government experts and Manitoba Beef Producers are collaborating on a predation management strategy. “We’ve reviewed the best practices from around the world,”

Hristienko said. “The next step is to develop a set of strategies best suited to our dynamic (in Manitoba), but the emphasis will be prevention.” The province plans to do an aerial survey next year in the Duck Mountains and other parts of the Parkland to assess the moose population and the effectiveness of the wolf-trapping program. robert.arnason@producer.com

The product was developed by Graham Burton and Janusz Daroszewski, Canadian chemists with the National Research Council. They were studying carotenoids and explored the non-vitamin health properties of certain fruits and vegetables that were not explained by anti-oxidant properties. Their research led to development of a powder comprising 10 percent fully oxidized beta-carotene that can be added to livestock feed. “We’re able to see protective and growth promotion effects that are equivalent in some cases, superior in others, to what is observed with many of the antibiotic regimens,” he said. Groome said proof of concept work on efficacy has been done on OxC-beta at the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary, and the most advanced commercial applications are likely to be in hogs and poultry. Multiple trials on those species have been conducted in Asia, where Groome said several countries, including Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Philippines, Vietnam and China, have expressed interest in registration and use. He said a large study in Vietnam found that OxC-beta boosted growth in piglets by more than 20 percent over a control group in the first month after weaning. A standard antibiotic regimen produced a six percent growth boost compared to the control. “We’ve got every reason to believe there would be tremendous applications of this in dairy cattle, beef cattle, laying hens and even aquaculture, but we don’t yet have commercial protocols that we can really say, ‘yes, this is exactly how you should use the product, this is the optimum dose level.’ “But we’ve really reached that point in swine and broilers now,” Groome said. Product pricing will be competitive with that of antibiotic growth promoters, he added, which is about $5 per tonne of feed to which OxC-beta is added. “There are natural analogs to our product and there is an inherent safety to them because they’ve been a part of the food chain for as long as there have been plants making pigments,” he said. Groome said the product is manufactured in Asia because a lack of Canadian registration means it can’t be exported. “I’d love to be in a position to set up a production facility here in Canada because we’ll ultimately need a lot more than we can currently supply, but again, we would need Canadian registration in order to bring that home,” he said. “I wish I could say with certainty that we will be pursuing (registration in) Canada, but there’s a number of feed products, novel antibiotic alternatives that people would love to market in Canada and it’s not a clearly defined pathway for registration. “For patriotic reasons, we’ll certainly pursue it, but economically, there are a lot of places that are screaming for these products and are welcoming you to pursue registration.” barb.glen@producer.com FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE 15

Even with a 37 percent area increase, green lentil stocks should stay tight

A poor chickpea harvest could send prices up BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SEAN PRATT REPORTS FROM THE GLOBAL PULSE CONVENTION IN CESME, TURKEY, ABOUT WHAT IS DRIVING PULSE MARKETS

CESME, Turkey — Canada is sold out of green lentils, and the forecast is for another tight year in 2016-17. “Farm bins are empty. Warehouses and pipelines are empty,” said Gerald Donkersgoed, vicepresident of Ilta Grain. “We have cleaned out the crop and I would suggest we didn’t grow enough green lentils last year.” Stat Publishing believes Canadian growers planted 1.44 million acres of green lentils this spring, a 37 percent increase over last year. Donkersgoed said the crop is in fantastic shape, but he worries that it could be a wet summer, which would boost yields but possibly lead to disease and quality problems at harvest. “The one thing that keeps me awake at night is just how we’re going to finish off the rest of this growing season,” he said. Stat is forecasting 655,000 tonnes of large green lentil production in Canada based on the previous fiveyear average yield of 1,367 pounds per acre, which would result in 88,000 tonnes of carryout. Donkersgoed believes it will be smaller than that because the average included 2013, which was an outlier year with near perfect yields of 1,692 pounds per acre. “If you take that (year) out, all of the sudden you drop out 50,000 tonnes of stocks,” he said. “Again, we’re going to be tight.”

GERALD DONKERSGOED ILTA GRAIN VICE-PRESIDENT

There is tremendous opening demand for new crop green lentils because buyers are clamouring to restock their empty pipelines. “I’ve joked with buyers that I’ve sold the first shipment 42 times already,” said Donkersgoed. “We’re going to be coming out of the gate pretty hard.” Farmers in the United States planted an estimated 850,000 acres of lentils, up 72 percent from last year. Three-quarters of those acres are green lentils. Stat is forecasting 450,200 tonnes of total lentil production in the U.S., but Tim McGreevy, chief executive officer of the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council, said it would take perfect conditions to achieve that level of production. He doesn’t believe that will be the

case because there are a lot of brand new lentil growers this year. “ There will be some wrecks because lentils are not easy to grow,” he said. McGreevy is forecasting 350,000 to 400,000 tonnes of total lentil production, three-quarters of which will be green lentils. Iran could once again be a big buyer of Canadian green lentils now that the economic sanctions have been lifted. Athlete Ansari, director of Emco International, a broker operating in the United Arab Emirates, estimates that Iran imported 150,000 tonnes of green lentils last year, up from about 45,000 tonnes the previous year. “I think going forward it is going to be a major destination,” he said. McGreevy asked members of the green lentil market outlook panel for their price forecast. Nico Georgeoglou, managing director of Elamer S.A., one of Greece’s largest importers of agricultural products, believes the big North American crop will affect markets. “I think we’ll have a price reduction,” he said. Harsha Kukreja Rai, vice-president of international sales with

Mayur Global Corp., an Indian pulse processing company, said she thinks a good volume of business will take place in the US$750 to $800 per tonne range. Donkersgoed teased her about that lowball estimate. “You’re talking about red lentils right?” he said. Donkersgoed believes prices will stay firm for the first few months after harvest because of strong opening demand as buyers restock and then there will be a “slow erosion” in prices starting in November or December. sean.pratt@producer.com

CESME, Turkey — If desi chickpea production falters in any of the main production regions, there will once again be strong demand for Canadian yellow peas, say analysts. G. Chandrashekhar, a global agribusiness specialist from India, is forecasting 9.95 million tonnes of global desi chickpea production in 2016-17, up seven percent from the current crop year. His forecast is predicated on India and Australia receiving timely rains. If that doesn’t happen, growers can expect another year of sky-high chickpea prices, which will lead to strong yellow pea demand because the crop is a cheap substitute for desi chickpeas. All eyes are on India, which accounts for 75 to 80 percent of the world’s desi chickpea production. The Indian government has set a target of 9.5 million tonnes of total chickpea production for 2016-17. Chickpeas are planted in November and harvested in February and March. “Under the present circumstances I don’t see this target being achieved at all,” Chandrashekhar told delegates attending the 2016 Global Pulse Convention. He believes that under ideal conditions there is an “outside chance” of India producing 8.5 million tonnes of chickpeas, including 7.65 million tonnes of desis. The hope is that a La Nina weather system will develop causing above average monsoon rainfall. Chandrashekhar has penciled in 900,000 tonnes of Australian production. Peter Wilson, chief executive officer of AGT Foods Australia, said the next two weeks will tell the tale for the Australian crop.

RED LENTILS

Indian demand key to red lentil exports Canadian production could rise 31.5 percent but strong Indian demand should support prices BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CESME, Turkey — Red lentil production will likely be way up this year, but India is expected to consume most of the increase. Gaetan Bourassa, chief operating officer of AGT Food and Ingredients, said red lentil prices will hinge on how much India buys. He estimates Indian demand in 2016-17 at 95,000 tonnes per month for a total of 1.14 million tonnes for the new crop year. There will be another 350,000 tonnes of “surprise demand” as a pigeon pea replacement due to a 1.6 million tonne shortfall in that crop in India. India is forecast to produce 275,000 tonnes of red lentils, leaving 1.19 million tonnes of demand that will have to be met through imports. “We think one to 1.2 million metric tonnes in the coming season is a real possibility,” Bourassa told delegates attending the 2016 Global Pulse Convention in Turkey. That country is forecast to import 350,000 tonnes, which is the same amount it will likely buy this crop year. Bourassa is forecasting a total of 2.45 million tonnes of red lentil exports from Canada and Australia in 2016-17, a 17 percent increase over the current crop year. That is good because there is a big crop on the way in both countries. Canadian farmers planted an

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE He said there is the potential for 1.6 million tonnes of production but that would require significant precipitation. Considering that half of the crop is planted in ground where subsoil moisture is inadequate he believes 700,000 to 900,000 tonnes is more likely. If that is the case, desi prices could be “off to the races” because Australia is completely sold out of the crop and needs a crop bigger than 900,000 tonnes. Wilson noted that today’s new crop prices of about US$830 per

estimated four million acres of red lentils. Bourassa is using an average yield of 23 bushels per acre, which is below the previous five-year average of 25 bushels per acre. That is because lentils are being grown in many non-traditional areas this year. “Even in traditional areas, we have farmers who are pushing the rotations a bit too far,” he said. He is forecasting 2.5 million tonnes of Canadian production, up from 1.9 million tonnes last year. There will be two million tonnes of exports and a “reasonable” carryout of 341,862 tonnes. “If the story does play out and India does import one to 1.2 million metric tonnes you wouldn’t h a v e m u c h c a r r y o u t ,” s a i d Bourassa. Sanjay Jain, chief executive officer of Jawaharlal & Sons/Prakash Overseas, an Indian importer and miller of pulse crops, doesn’t have a problem with Bourassa’s Indian import number. “Yes, it is possible if the prices are good,” he said. In fact, he said India’s demand exceeds 100,000 tonnes per month, which is higher than Bourassa’s number. Jain said India is sitting on a stockpile of 150,000 tonnes of Canadian lentils, which should last until the new crop is harvested in August. Sanjiv Dubey, director of GrainTrend Group, an Australian pulse tonne are well above where they were at the same time last year. Old crop prices have rallied to $1,100 per tonne. “We can rally just as hard (this year) if we don’t get this rain,” he said. Muhammad Ahmed, chief executive officer of AWAM Group of Companies, a leading importer and broker of pulses in Pakistan, took issue with Chandrashekhar’s forecast for 600,000 tonnes of desi production in Pakistan. He said it will be closer to 325,000 tonnes, down from 560,000 tonnes the previous year. Chandrashekhar said if India gets

crop trading firm, took issue with Bourassa’s forecast of 300,000 to 400,000 tonnes of Australian red lentil production. He said Pulse Australia is forecasting 618,000 acres of red lentils and 350,000 tonnes of production. However, the trade believes it is m o re l i k e 8 6 5 , 0 0 0 a c re s a n d 475,000 tonnes of production. Dubey said 60 to 70 percent of the crop will be small red lentils, which will be shipped to Bangladesh, Pakistan and Egypt. It is dry in Australia’s chickpea growing area, but moisture condi-

tions are “perfectly fine” where the lentils are planted. Panel members from Pakistan and Sri Lanka said lentil demand should be stronger than usual because chickpea prices are sky high, which is encouraging substitution. However, a grain miller from Egypt expects slumping demand in that country because of the poor condition of the economy. Merve Fettahoglu, international trade manager of Goze Agricultural Products and Marketing Inc., a Turkish pulse processing compa-

ny, said growers in that country planted 30 percent more red lentils this year than last year. The trade is expecting 400,000 to 450,000 tonnes of production, up from 340,000 tonnes last year. “The weather conditions are so far, so good,” she said. A couple of panelists provided price projections ranging from US$650 to $750 per tonne. They said buyers are scared of the Canadian production estimate of 2.5 million tonnes.

the big crop it is hoping for, it will likely import 700,000 tonnes of desi chickpeas in 2016-17, a 30 percent decline from the previous year. That would take the pressure off of desi chickpea prices in that country. “My sense is the market should not expect the fancy prices of 2015 to prevail again in the second half of 2016,” he said. However, Chandrashekhar said global desi supplies will still be tight because there will be no carryout of the crop heading into 2016-17 versus 700,000 tonnes a year ago at this time. And if there is a disappointing

harvest in India or Australia, desi prices could once again be sky high. “If chickpea prices rise higher there will be more consumption and more demand for yellow peas,” he said. Most of the panelists expect desi chickpea prices to remain firm for the next three to four months and then drop by $100 to $150 per tonne when the Australian crop is harvested. Ahmed is forecasting prices in the range of $850 to $950 per tonne over the next three to six months.

CANOLA

Canola crush margins reach year’s best level Margins are expected to deteriorate in the coming months as supplies tighten BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

WINNIPEG — Canola crush margins have improved considerably over the past few weeks and are now sitting at near the best levels of the year. Crush margins provide an indication of the profitability of the product values compared to the seed cost when processing canola. Exchange rates are also factored in to the equation. As of May 27, the Canola Board Crush Margin calculated by ICE Futures Canada was $107 higher than the nearby July contract, compared to levels closer to $84 a month earlier and the year-ago level of $71. “I don’t remember seeing (margins) at this level in some time,” said a market watcher. The end of the crop year is fast approaching and supplies are tightening in Western Canada. As a result, crush margins are likely to deteriorate in the coming months because end users will need to pay up for supplies. In the meantime, the domestic crush pace continues to run at a record pace. Following a couple of slow weeks, last week’s canola crush was a strong 179,485 tonnes, up 10.4 percent from the previous week, said the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association. Crush capacity use was almost 87 percent, topping the year average of 81.6 percent. Canadian canola processors crushed 6.659 million tonnes of canola during the crop year to date, up from 5.908 million at the same point the previous year, according to data from COPA.

New index tracks farmers’ outlook The Purdue/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer provides a snapshot of how farmers are feeling BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Every month the world’s markets watch for the ISM Manufacturing Index to be released. Why isn’t there a similar gauge for the U.S. farming and agriculture sector? That’s a question Purdue University and the CME Group tackled and, they hope, eliminated with the introduction of the Purdue/ CME Group Ag Economy Barometer. Now investors, lenders, traders and farmers have a broadly representative snapshot of how U.S. farmers are feeling, which will be released on the first Tuesday of every month. “When we looked at the agricultural economy, we thought there was an information void,” said James Mintert, the director of Purdue’s Center for Commercial Agriculture.

Sentiment indicators are generally built around surveys sent to a large number of significant members of an industry. The Institute of Supply Management’s ISM Manufacturing Index is based on a sur vey of over 300 manufacturers. It measures their feelings about the economy, their own businesses, and the possible decisions they might make in coming months. The Ag Economy Barometer is trying to offer the same sort of portrait of farmer attitudes. The basic barometer provides a sentiment number off a baseline of 100 from October 2015 to March 2016. Anything above 100 reveals farmers feeling more optimistic than during that period, and anything below, shows a more pessimistic outlook. The survey uses 400 producers from across the U.S. involved in different sectors of agricultural pro-

duction, with the largest component being corn and soybean producers, at more than 50 percent of the sample. Beyond the barometer’s sentiment measure, the surveys provide the opportunity to ask additional questions and assess other aspects of farmer outlook. Mintert said a range of other issues will occasionally be raised as the barometer operates, including farmland and input prices. The most recent results, released in April, show farmer sentiment fell from October to March, but then rebounded. That reflects the decline then rally in corn futures, show ing how fundamentally farmer outlooks are defined by prices. Four times a year the barometer team will also survey a group of 100 “agriculture and agribusiness thought leaders” and issue more in-depth reports. Farmers are famous for attempt-

ing to mislead government surveys that look at crop production. Many believed that underreporting the size or quality of crops helps create bullish news in the marketplace, which will raise prices. That has led to a fudge factor being included in some reports of agencies like those of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which adjusts some reported numbers to reflect the underreporting phenomenon. Mintert said he doubts that will be a factor in the Ag Economy Barometer, because it is not asking for production numbers. The perspective it provides should give the markets a better sense of how farmers are feeling, regardless of underlying conditions, and that’s something that has never been available. “We didn’t see anything like that in the ag sector,” said Mintert. ed.white@producer.com

U.S. reviews high-speed trading’s effect on cattle pricing Cattle futures trade goes under microscope after R-Calf complains about price drop CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — A U.S. watchdog agency will launch a review of cattle pricing, including the impact of high-frequency trading on futures, after ranchers complained about a sharp price drop last year. The U.S. Government Accountability Office has accepted a request from the Senate judiciary committee to study the reasons for

the decline, an agency spokesperson said. The GAO will review “what is known about the extent to which high-frequency trading in cattle futures contracts has contributed to price fluctuations,” he said. It will also assess how changes in cattle trading over the past decade may have affected price swings in

recent years, he added. The agency has no time frame yet for completing its review, the spokesperson said. Futures and cash markets for cattle have come under scrutiny over pricing following a setback in the second half of last year from record levels reached in 2014. In January, R-CALF USA, a meat

producers’ group, asked the Senate to investigate the decline and alleged that packers had colluded to manipulate markets. Last month, judiciary committee members requested the GAO review the reasons for the drop instead of taking it up themselves. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has attributed price

swings to high-frequency traders. CME Group Inc., which operates U.S. cattle futures markets, has taken steps to reduce volatility, including cutting trading hours. It has said high-frequency trading accounts for 10 percent of the volume in CME’s cattle markets and 50 percent of its overall average daily volume.

CANFAX REPORT FED MARKET LOWER The Canfax fed steer weighted average was $160.09 per hundredweight, down $1.76, and heifers were $159.15, down $4.88. Strengthening basis levels encouraged producers to move a portion of their list, even though prices were down for the week. Railgrade cattle that could be delivered within two weeks saw bids or sales range $267-$270 delivered. Bids for the week of June 13 delivery were $260-$264 delivered. Market-ready supplies are anticipated to increase. Many producers have indicated contract volumes will be larger in June than in May. More cattle will likely be on the cash market than last year, even with larger contract volumes. Weekly Canadian fed cattle exports to the U.S. totalled 5,997 head, the fourth smallest volume this year. The May 20 U.S. cattle on feed report showed larger than expected placements in April and weighed down the Chicago fed cattle market early last week. However, futures recouped losses because the trade hoped that less expensive beef cuts this year will encourage increased demand over the U.S. Memorial Day weekend. U.S. cash prices varied widely last week. Mid-week dressed sales were down $7-$12 from the previous week, but bids firmed to US$200$202 dressed by the end of the week.

Cow supply and demand remains moderate, but more retailers featuring ground beef would support cow prices into summer.

FEEDER PRICES STABILIZE Alberta steers rose 50 cents on average and heifers were steady. Feeders lighter than 600 pounds on average fell on limited supplies and quality. Grass type 600-700 lb. feeders rose $2.50, supported by improved pastures following recent rain. Feeders 700-800 pounds were mixed with steers surging $4.25 while heifers fell $1.75. Steers heavier than 800 pounds generally weakened. However, heavy heifers firmed modestly compared to replacement type heifers at market. Weekly sale volumes of 12,861 head were respectable for the short four day post-Victoria Day week. Weekly feeder exports to May 14 fell seasonally to 5,745 head. Supplies will tighten, and most backgrounders have either cut their losses and dumped feeders or now have them on full feed to finish. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s cattle on feed report showed a significant increase in feeders that will be marketed in the third quarter. That lowered late summer live cattle futures. Feeders heavier than 800 pounds could see increased price resistance.

BEEF DOWN COWS STRONGER The non-fed market bounced back from the annual lows of the previous week. D1, D2 cows ranged C$92-$108 to average $100.10, up 50 cents. D3 cows ranged $82-$95 to average $89.20. Rail grade cows were $191-$196. Bulls were $127.40, up almost $2. Cow auction volumes increased as more calving culls went to town, but recent rain and improving pasture may ease the immediate need to move cows. Western Canadian cow kills have moderated to near 4,000 head a week as packers focus on the A grade kill. Non-fed exports are flat this year, ranging from 4,200 to 5,400 head per week since mid-February.

U.S. boxed beef prices to May 26 fell with Choice at US$222.72 per hundredweight, down $4.44, and Select at $203.26, down $7.89. The Choice-Select spread widened to $19 per hundredweight, the widest spread since June 10, 2013. Weekly Canadian cut-out values to May 21 were steady to lower. AAA was C$275.77, up $1.13, while AA was $262.13, down $4.65 per hundredweight.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS SLIP Retailers had covered most of their needs for the U.S. Memorial Day long weekend. U.S. slaughter has been running below the level implied by the March Hogs and Pigs report, said Ron Plain and Scott Brown of the University of Missouri. That might imply delayed marketings, which would weigh on summer hog prices. The U.S. national live price average for barrows and gilts was US$56.90 per hundredweight May 27, down from $58.06 May 20. U.S. hogs averaged $72.20 on a carcass basis May 27, down from $74.69 May 20. The U.S. pork cutout was $83.56 per hundredweight May 27, up from $83.40 May 20. T h e e s t i m a t e d U. S. w e e k l y slaughter for the week to May 27 was 2.181 million, down from 2.114 million the previous week. Slaughter was 1.863 million last year at the same time.

In Canada, the Signature Three price for the week ending May 28 was C$81.06 per hundredweight, or $178.71 per 100 kilograms, down from $82.07 and $180.94 the previous week.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to $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.

SHEEP STEADY Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 436 sheep and lambs and 87 goats traded May 24. A light run of sheep, lambs and goats sold steady.

Crop price rally could lose strength as weather improves MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

would be surprised if the crop price rally of April and May can continue into June. Crop prices rallied as the market assessed the damage to soybeans in Argentina from the excessive rain in April and dry weather in Brazil’s corn growing region. Analysts now believe the rain slashed Argentina’s soybean crop by four to eight million tonnes. It appears global livestock feeders who buy a lot of their soy meal from Argentina were caught short. Their scramble to find alternative meal supplies drove up the nearby Chicago soy meal futures contract by more than 50 percent from April 7 to May 30. That helped drive soybeans 18 percent higher, supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s preliminary seeded area estimate, which was lower than expected. Canola trailed higher, up less than 10 percent, limited by falling soy oil prices as competing palm oil also fell on ideas that production is recovering from El Nino drought more quickly than expected.

The soybean rally, as well as rainy weather in the last week in the Midwest that pushed corn planting beyond the recommended seeding date, should have caused American farmers to switch more acres into soybeans. There is a possibility that the oilseed rally could run out of steam this week. The big investment funds have moved from a net short position to a net long in soybeans, raising the potential for rounds of selling and profit taking. We’ll soon start to receive private analysts’ updates on their assessments of U.S. seeding, which would also weigh on soybeans if there are sizable jumps in soybean area. We’ll get a definitive look at what was seeded when the USDA releases its final acreage survey report June 30. In canola, the risk premium to account for a dry spring in large parts of the Canadian Prairies is unwinding as moisture improves. The dry area is now mostly limited to Saskatchewan’s northern grain belt. The U.S. dollar could also affect the crop market. Expectations are growing that the Federal Reserve will increase interest rates this summer, perhaps even at its June 14-15 meeting. Higher interest rates would lift the U.S. dollar, which would weigh down American crop prices and perhaps stall out the crude oil price rally.

Wheat will face pressure as the U.S. winter wheat harvest begins. The crop is expected to have some of the best yields in years, but rain this week in Texas and Oklahoma could downgrade quality. There is still risk pricing in the crop markets to account for the rapid switch from El Nino to an expected La Nina and the potential for dry weather in the U.S. Midwest late in the growing season. However, the weather outlook for June in the Midwest looks like close to normal rain and a bit cool, while the Canadian Prairies could continue warm. The three-month forecast from the U.S. Weather Service Climate Prediction Center issued May 19 for July through September show the potential for a warmer than normal growing season in the Midwest, but the moisture outlook is average rainfall. The potential for dry weather does not appear until the fall. I think there is potential for the crop market to start becoming more comfortable and unwind some of the recent rally. However, that prediction would change if the news on crop tallies from South America worsens or if there is a rapid transition to hot dry weather in the U.S. Midwest in July.

CRAIG’S VIEW

ALBERTA ANIMAL RESCUE

Livestock rescue requires training, proper equipment

t is a disturbing sight, whether you encounter it on the highway or on the television news. A livestock trailer is overturned with dead and injured animals. Firefighters, police and other first responders try as best they can to rescue the terrified animal survivors and prevent them from running onto the highway and presenting new traffic dangers. Almost every food animal will take at least one ride in a truck trailer in its life, and vehicle crashes are unfortunately a reality on our highways. Livestock transport crash scenes would be less chaotic and safer places if first responders had training in large animal rescue. So it is great to see that workshops are available from experts in the field. With its large cattle feeding operations and two big federal beef slaughter plants, it is not surprising that Alberta appears to be most active in the field of training in Western Canada. To protect livestock and first responders, it would be a good idea if this training and the proper rescue equipment were readily available in every province. A recent seminar that Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue Training conducted in Twin Butte, Alta., provided insights and practical information for anyone involved in livestock transport. Seminar leader Rebecca Gimenez said that when she and her husband started their company in the 1990s, they expected to focus on veterinarians called in to help rescue animals. However, it quickly became apparent that the first professionals on the scene of accidents are firefighters and police, and they were hungry for information about how to safely handle livestock

involved in road crashes and other dangerous situations. Animals might also need rescuing when they wander from familiar surroundings and become trapped in mud, fencing wire, holes and even swimming pools. As well, a more volatile climate appears to be increasing the frequency of floods, fires and tornadoes, where animal rescue is also often needed. Animals under stress revert to “fight or flight” panic and can be much more dangerous to humans than they are normally. For safe rescue, an understanding of animal behavior and knowledge of recommended procedure can be of immense help. Sometimes the best course of action is to simply help the animal extricate itself from dangerous situations by removing obstacles or opening gates. However, other situations require specialized equipment. Alberta Farm Animal Care worked with other livestock organizations and used financial assistance from the federalprovincial Growing Forward program to buy a fleet of livestock emergency rescue trailers and station them around the province. The trailers are loaded with equipment to help free and corral livestock at crash or emergency scenes. They contain corral panels, generators, saws, plywood and snow fencing. It would be a good idea to have such trailers distributed across Canada, close to key animal transport routes, to make animal rescuers’ jobs easier.

DAIRY INDUSTRY PROTESTS

Quebec dairy farmers demand action on diafiltered milk CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

he farmers are coming to Ottawa. At the time of writing, a convoy of Quebec dairy farmers is about to start driving their tractors to Ottawa for a June 2 rally on Parliament Hill, where they expect to be joined by Ontario farmers. The rally comes one month after Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay announced he would meet with Canadian dairy farmers within 30 days to discuss compensation for concessions made under the Canada-European Union trade deal and Canadian imports of diafiltered milk — a U.S. milk protein.

The outcome of that meeting has yet to be made public. A few cows are expected to make an appearance too, marking the second time in nine months that bovines have strutted their stuff in Ottawa’s downtown core. Hundreds of dairy farmers, some leading cows, protested the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership in September. While concerns about the TPP continue, (a Conservative compensation package remains under Liberal review), the June 2 rally is focused on the diafiltered milk issue. Canadian dairy farmers say they are losing millions of dollars because Canadian cheese processors are importing milk solids from the United States. Under Canadian regulations, the Canadian Border Services Agency considers diafiltered milk as a protein, while the Canadian Food Inspection Agency considers it as milk. The Liberals promised to fix the

Many involved say more promises of government consultation will simply not suffice. The event also provides a chance to remind and educate people about Canada’s agriculture industry. After all, it’s not every day cows and tractors are lined up in front of

Parliament Hill. Coincidentally, the dairy farmers’ latest rally falls on another agriculture-centred day in Canada’s capital city. The Mayor ’s Rural E xpo, an annual event put on by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, is also being held that day. The festivities are meant to highlight Ottawa’s rural residents. Eighty percent of land within the city of Ottawa is considered rural — a statistic sure to stun much of the city’s urban population. Celebrity milking competitions, a pancake breakfast and a barbecue (with funds collected going to the Ottawa Food Bank) are planned. Farmers will be on hand to showcase what agriculture has to offer, all while trying to bridge the urban/ rural divide via public education. The farmers are coming to Ottawa. Canadians, and their politicians, should take note. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

Cleavers decision not serving farmers

News editor says goodbye to WP readers

BY SEAN COOPER

he Canola Council of Canada, with the Western Grain Elevator Association and the Canola Oilseed Processors Association (collectively, the multinationals) have come out against quinclorac and in particular, Clever, (a low-cost solution for cleaver problems), which we feel do not convey the full story about quinclorac. Let’s look at the following statement by CCC president Patti Miller: “China has no maximum residue limit (MRLs) for quinclorac on canola. Being one of the biggest markets for canola, China has no history of accepting imports of canola where quinclorac residues have been detected. There is also no MRL for the herbicide on canola in the Codex Alimentarius, which is an internationally recognized collection of standards considered by Chinese authorities when accepting imported products.” Yet 23 of the 53 pesticides actives registered for canola with established MRLs in Canada could fall into a similar statement. China has no more a documented acceptance of codex than it does for country of origin, making 46 of the 53 actives for canola in Canada unsuitable for China. It seems that quinclorac is unfairly targeted. Country of origin, much the same as Codex, is also considered by Chinese authorities when accepting imported products. The multinationals further claim that quinclorac can be found on canola when testing samples that quinclorac was used on. Again, this statement could apply to the

The writer says the Canola Council of Canada works against farmers’ interests when it advises not to use Clever on cleavers. | FILE PHOTO vast majority of the pesticides registered in Canada for use on canola when tested in the manner that quinclorac was detected in samples, and not the internationally standard manner in which China tests. When tested, the average quinclorac residue is below .02 parts per million (ppm), falling far below the acceptable deemed safe level by Health Canada of 1.5 ppm. Quinclorac’s tested levels, when used at the rates Clever has on its label, are below 43 of the 53 pesticides registered MRLs for Canada. BASF’s Chris Vander Kant said: “We make a point of making sure we have the necessary MRLs for all the major export markets.” Yet most of BASF’s canola products do not have registered MRLs in China. This includes their form of quinclorac.

Given that China only tests for MRLs they have established, and will defer to Codex and country of origin if requested by the importing company, is it necessary to establish an import tolerance? Quinclorac has been around for more than 15 years and is known to work on canola and yet is still not added to Codex. Further, quinclorac has no schedule to be added to Codex , yet BASF’s more expensive and new products have been added. In canola weed problems, cleavers ranks third, it is the fastest spreading weed, and at the top of the list for recent resistance to glyphosate. The CCC puts out information on how to deal with cleavers. This information uses high-cost solutions like Edge, which has an active ingredient that has no MRL in Chi-

na or Codex listing. A recent release from the University of Saskatchewan Department of Soil Sciences says, “The correlation between increasing cleavers populations and canola acres potentially means that current canola herbicide options do not effectively control cleaver populations.” A cleaver infestation of only five percent (a minor infestation) potentially costs growers hundreds of millions of dollars. Gerry Ritz, former federal agriculture minister and sitting MP, could not be more clear when he stated that this is not an issue to the Chinese. This is a “made in Canada” problem, as quinclorac poses no more risk than many of the existing pesticides used in Canada. We feel that quinclorac, brought to market by a low-cost input supplier, is being targeted by the multinationals without just cause or science. It further appears that the multinationals are waging a war against low-cost alternatives. We feel that the multinationals are limiting options available to growers, through the use of red herrings like MRLs, resulting in growers needing to pay upward of $50 per acre for pesticides much the way they now do for seed. We feel that the multinationals have used the CCC, an organization significantly funded by the growers’ volunteer check-off dollars, to work against the growers’ own best interests.

FARM SUCCESSION

Communication key to passing on family farm HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

tatistics show that the vast majority of farms are family owned and operated. Farms are increasingly incorporated entities, but the role of family has remained central. Family businesses have inherent strengths that we like to celebrate, but we should also recognize the problems. Families don’t typically air dirty laundry in public, but if you look around communities, you’ll often see instances where siblings or cousins or parents and a child used to farm together but don’t anymore. Sometimes the breakup was amicable. In other cases, there was

probably some short-term or longterm acrimony leading up to the decision to run separate operations. Family farms can become dysfunctional, particularly when more than one family is involved. A young man with a degree in agriculture and a good job told me that he often thought about returning to the family farm, but his father and uncle had long farmed together and the arrangement was a mess. Not only did the father and uncle not really get along anymore, but the business relationship had become confused over who owned what. Until or unless the mess could be addressed, this young man couldn’t see himself being involved. Succession is a huge issue, and while some farm families develop a clear plan, many do not. Instead, the farm lurches forward based on ad hoc decisions. The problem often boils down to communication and personalities.

How many families hold succession meetings with all the children, including the non-farming ones? Many don’t because they fear conflict. A formal discussion might fuel the animosity that has long been bubbling under the surface. And sometimes we can’t come to grips with our own feelings. The older generation may have a tough time giving up control. Dad feels that he has built this empire, and while his stated goal might be to pass it along to the next generation, it’s hard to step aside from your life’s work. The farm becomes part of your identity. While many people have no trouble imagining other things they’d like to be doing, others can’t envision a life without the farm at the centre of their existence. Surrendering control means facing your own mortality. For their part, the younger generation can be indecisive. They like the farm, but also have other interests. Or maybe they like the farm, but their partner isn’t sure. Or

maybe they just aren’t cut out to make management decisions. Farm asset values have increased rapidly, particularly the value of farmland. For many operations, profitability has been strong. Farm succession should be easier than ever. But how big will the farm need to be to remain viable in the years ahead? How much equity should the retiring generation take with them? How much debt can the incoming generation afford, particularly if they want to continue expanding? There are other ownership and management models, but families will continue to be the driving force behind most farms for the foreseeable future. Family farms have a resilience and work ethic that’s hard to match. The downfall can be communication and long-term planning. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

TERRY FRIES NEWS EDITOR

feel a pang of sadness as I write this — this will be my last Notebook column. Actually, after 22 years at The Western Producer, it’s only my second Notebook column so come to think of it, it’s about time they loosened their sleeper hold on it anyway. Jokes aside, I am moving on to a new career in a new community. I may not have been a highly visible presence to Western Producer readers over the years, but I have been fortunate enough to be part of this mighty struggle — the struggle in which we craft and build the best packages of agricultural stories, photos, graphics and information you’re going to get anywhere. That has always been Job 1 for me, through my years as news editor. It’s been top of mind, no matter the task. And even though I casually refer to it as a “mighty struggle,” the operation actually clicks together smoothly, every hour, every day, every week and beyond like a magical jigsaw puzzle because of the people who work here. The experienced and engaged staff makes my job easier. Some days, I’ve been able to sit back and watch the various aspects click together seemingly with minimal effort because the staff, my friends, have always shown a dedication to quality. I owe them all a large thank you. They made me look good, and they made The Western Producer look good through the years. It also leaves me with a great deal of confidence that I leave the WP in good hands. It will do just fine without me. Readers will continue to receive the highest standards of journalism and information the ag world has to offer, while I explore what’s beyond the next hill. I’ve decided to take on new challenges in Summerland, B.C. Neither my wife nor I is near retirement age, so this isn’t about slowing down. We both hope to keep our fingers in many different pies, including staying active, if even in some small way, in agriculture. Hmm, there is an ag research station in Summerland, so you may see my byline on a Western Producer story before too long. I’ve never been one to sit still. terry.fries@producer.com

TRUCK WASH RULES

ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

PED case follows change in biosecurity

Canola breeder receives Sask. Order of Merit

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Manitoba’s sixth case of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus was confirmed May 26 in a batch farrow sow barn on a farm in the southeast. It is the first incident in the province since January 2015, and all previously infected barns had since been rid of the virus. The new case comes weeks after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency cancelled an emergency truck washing protocol that was supported by hog producers across Western Canada. Manitoba Pork Council chair George Matheson said the owner of the infected barn is co-operating fully with the chief provincial veterinarian, his own veterinarian and the council. “It’s emotionally devastating and it hurts financially, of course, but he’s being very co-operative with the province and the Manitoba Pork Council, and that’s the best way to be to, number one, keep the virus from spreading, and number two, eradicate it from his farm,” said Matheson. Producers within a five-kilometre radius of the farm have been alerted and are monitoring their herds. PED virus is highly contagious and is almost always fatal to piglets. It has killed millions of young pigs in the United States, but cases have been limited to six infected premises in Western Canada. Ontario and Quebec have had more than 90 cases, still substantially fewer than the thousands of barns infected in the U.S. Matheson said the farm owner and veterinarians will develop a plan of attack against the latest case in Manitoba. Infected piglets may be quickly slaughtered, and the virus will then work its way through the sow herd. Older animals can survive the virus, although production is limited while they are fighting it and developing immunity. About 70,000 pigs are trucked to the U.S. from Canada every week, potentially putting transport trucks in contact with the PED virus. The CFIA put an emergency truck wash protocol in place in February 2014, which allowed returning trucks to be sealed at the border and then thoroughly washed and disinfected at specialized Canadian facilities. The CFIA cancelled that protocol May 2 and required trucks to be washed on the U.S. side, where facilities are said to be less thorough and in some cases use recycled water that may contain the virus. Hog producer associations protested the change, and Matheson said the timing of this latest PED case is interesting, to say the least. “It would be very difficult to pinpoint where it came from, but you know, it did happen just after the CFIA ended the truck wash protocol that we had in place, so it could very well have … come in from the States and have been due to the new truck washing protocol.” barb.glen@producer.com

Keith Downey has received a long list of recognitions and distinguished awards, but he says the Saskatchewan Order of Merit is the one he values most. “The icing on the cake,” said Downy, who has earned a worldwide reputation as one of the fathers of canola for his oilseed breeding program and research for converting rapeseed into canola. “It’s very gratifying and I’m much humbled by it.… It felt very good that the province had recognized the input of my team because you don’t do all of this on your own.” Downy is among 10 recipients of the 2016 Saskatchewan Order of Merit, the province’s highest order.

KEITH DOWNEY CANOLA BREEDER

Established in 1985, the award recognizes excellence, achievement and contributions made for the betterment of the province in areas such as the arts, agriculture, business, industry, community leadership, occupations, professions, public service, research and volunteer service. Downey was born in Saskatoon and earned degrees from the Uni-

versity of Saskatchewan and Cornell University. He initially worked as an alfalfa breeder at Agriculture Canada’s research station in Lethbridge. He returned to Saskatoon in 1958 to pursue oilseed breeding research at the federal research centre. He is associated with the release of 13 rapeseed-canola varieties and five condiment mustard varieties. Canola acreages have expanded from a few thousand acres 50 years ago to more than 20 million now, and the crop has become a multibillion-dollar industry. Downey said canola also changed the way farmers farm. “Rotations have changed, and the opportunities have changed with it (canola) coming in.” He said something that is often

overlooked are the number of oil extraction plants that dot the western Canadian landscape, which provide good rural jobs. “I’m proud that we’ve been able to make those changes,” he said. “You don’t start out working on a problem expecting to get a medal or anything like that or recognition.” Downy said his award of merit will stay close at hand for the time being, although he has given many of his major awards to the Western Development Museum to care for. He is an inductee in the Saskatchewan and the Canadian agricultural halls of fame, an officer of the Order of Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Agriculture Institute of Canada. william.dekay@producer.com

WILD DAY AT THE RODEO

CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION

Ag sector critical of carbon levy plan BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The carbon tax that is part of Alberta’s “climate leadership” plan released May 24 has some agricultural producers concerned about additional costs. If passed, the new legislation will establish a carbon levy and rebate plan in law, reinvest the revenue into ways that address climate change and establish a new agency designed to develop and deliver energy efficient programs and services in the province. T h e N D P g ov e r n m e nt p l a n includes a $20 per tonne carbon levy on all fuel that emits greenhouse gases when burned: diesel, gasoline, natural gas and propane. The levy will rise to $30 per tonne in 2018 and is expected to generate $9.6 billion over the next five years. The levies as of Jan. 1, 2017, will be 5.35 cents per litre on diesel, 4.49 cents per litre on gas, $1.011 per gigajoule on natural gas and 3.08 cents per litre on propane. Marked gas and diesel used by farmers in farming operations will be exempt from the levy, but those using natural gas may see their costs rise. Alberta’s greenhouse operators are among those who are heavy users of natural gas. Albert Cramer, a greenhouse operator from Medicine Hat, Alta., and a member of the Alberta Greenhouse Growers Association, said he is eager to learn details of the rebate program the government proposes for producers in his business and for farmers who use natural gas for grain drying and other production needs. Cramer said he favours a model similar to that in British Columbia. “If they are going to put a carbon tax in, then they have to give us greenhouse guys an incentive to make our greenhouses as efficient as we can,” said Cramer. “B.C. does the same thing. B.C. growers get almost 80 percent of it back if they can prove that they’re energy efficient.” Cramer said energy efficiency “is

not such a horrible idea. If they need to put a carbon tax on, to make themselves feel good — because that’s all it is — then you’re just forcing the grower to spend more money. But at least he can spend it (on efficiencies) and save it.” This is the busy season for greenhouse growers, said Cramer, so the association has not yet determined what the carbon tax might mean to its members. However, the association did ask the government to consider the B.C. model for rebates, even though the greenhouse industry was not specifically consulted. “We haven’t really had a consultation with them. The government is just going ahead with this stuff, not even talking to the people that are affected the most. And that’s too bad.” The government’s rebate plan indicates a small business corporate income tax rate reduction to two percent from one percent effective in January. That may offset costs for greenhouse operators, said Cramer. Alberta families who earn less than $95,000 annually and individuals who earn less than $47,500 annually will be eligible for rebates, according to the proposed plan. The opposition Wildrose Party criticized the carbon tax. Shadow e nv i ro n m e n t m i n i s t e r To d d Loewen said it would mean $500 or more in direct taxes to Alberta households “with hundreds more in indirect costs as prices rise for all consumer goods.” He said farmers would see costs climb for heat, electricity and water. Alberta Liberal leader David Swann was also critical of the carbon tax and the rebate plan. “The stated purpose of the carbon tax is to reduce consumption, but 60 percent of Albertan households will receive the full rebate amount,” he said in a news release. “How will this incentivize conservation and what metrics did the government use to determine how much tax is enough to change behaviour?” barb.glen@producer.com

Bell Canada promise for improved internet service welcomed by KAP The takeover of MTS would include better access for rural areas BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba farmers want better phone and internet access and might be able to get it because of Bell Canada Enterprises’ takeover of MTS, says the head of Keystone Agricultural Producers. However, it will need to push the provincial government to make that a negotiating priority. “Let Bell and the province move this whole situation forward and really put Manitoba at the forefront of connectivity rather than being behind everybody,” Mazier said. Bell’s deal to take over MTS, Manitoba’s dominant telecommunications provider, came with a promise that it would spend $1 billion over five years to improve service in the province. Poor cellphone, broadband and phone service in Manitoba compared to other provinces, includ-

ing Saskatchewan, has been a frequent complaint at KAP meetings in recent years. Many farmers say the problem is getting worse because farming systems, business partners and agriculture service companies expect them to be available almost all the time. However, they feel they are being left out and are falling behind because of shoddy cellphone access and poor levels of broadband availability. Bell’s announcement raised the hopes of many farmers that better telecommunications ser vice might be coming, and Progressive Conservative premier Brian Pallister was part of a May 20 announcement in Morris that wireless broadband access would improve from Winnipeg to the U.S. border along Highway 75. However, Mazier is hoping for much more than that. He thinks the Manitoba govern-

ment could pressure Bell and federal regulators to provide broadband access to farmers across Manitoba. MTS owns the land rights to all the landlines, so part of the deal could be forcing Bell to improve internet access so that every farm with a landline has broadband. “Why couldn’t Bell do that?” said Mazier. The likely objection is that it would cost too much and create higher rates to pay for it. Mazier said this is a unique o p p o r t u n i t y t o i m p rove t h e unequal access that farmers receive, but it won’t be as easy to achieve after a deal is approved. “I think we’re at a crossroads,” said Mazier. “What could be the made-inManitoba solution? Let’s look at it seriously and not just say it’ll cost too much money.” ed.white@producer.com

ANIMAL HEALTH

Antibiotic alternative no easy sell to regulators The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it is streamlining the process, but it has an obligation to do its due diligence BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

An interesting position: that’s the place Avivagen president Cameron Groome says he is in with regard to Canadian registration for a new product. The Ottawa-based company has developed a carotenoid-based feed additive that it says could do the same health protection and growth promotion jobs in livestock that are now done by antibiotics. However, Canadian registration for the product isn’t likely anytime soon, said Groome, so Canadian livestock producers won’t have access to a product that several Asian countries are in the process of approving. “With the new regulations coming in and with no real pathway for registering technical feed additives, it certainly puts our industry in an interesting position, with interesting firmly in quotation marks,” said Groome. Antibiotic use in livestock production is under increasing scrutiny because of its potential role in the evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Proliferation of such bacteria, exacerbated by antibiotic use, has dire implications for human and animal health because common remedies may not work on illnesses and infections. Those concerns have prompted

several countries to develop new regulations that are generally aimed at reducing antibiotic use in livestock, particularly when used to prevent illness and increase growth rates. Groome said Avivagen’s product, called OxC-beta, could help address the issue. “We’ve very much been doing a lot of our business, most of our business development, in Asia, where there’s 20 times the volume of feed consumed as anything we do in Canada,” he said. “Every country I visit is planning further restrictions on antibiotic use or outright bans on antibiotic use. That is not going away, so in Canada I think we need to get our act together and recognize that that’s already almost become the global export standard, and its very rapidly becoming the domestic preference, if not requirement. Just hoping it will go away is not a strategy.” Registration for livestock feed additives is managed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which is currently upgrading the registration process. Sergio Tolusso, a national manager in the animal feed division of the CFIA, said regulatory proposals to modernize the process are expected in 2017. Though ad hoc changes have been made, the regulations date

back to the 1980s. Tolusso said changes may bring more flexibility to the livestock feed approval process, in part by considering approvals for the same product in other countries. “There’s some due diligence on our part as the government of Canada to make sure that an ingredient meets the government of Canada requirements,” he said. He said there may be opportunities for Canada to collaborate more with the U.S. so products could come to market at the same time. Tolusso said amendments to the federal feeds act in 2015 gave the CFIA the right to recognize approvals done by other jurisdictions, which they are also exploring. Jean Szkotnicki, president of the Canadian Animal Health Institute, said addressing regulatory hurdles for new animal health products has long been a focus for the institute and other organizations. “One of the challenges has been that when you have a product that has either physiological or functional benefits or health claims, often these products in Canada are considered drugs. Under the drug regulation there are very specific … manufacturing practices.” Some of the manufacturing methods for feed additives might not meet the stringent regulations that govern drug manufacturing,

#PLANT16

which prevents their registration. “What we have been trying to do is have these products registered through the feed side of the industr y, through CFIA , which can accept the different manufacturing practices, and obviously that takes a lot of cultural change that has to happen within the regulatory agency,” she said. Szkotnicki said she is aware of Avivagen’s product and its frustrations with regulations. Part of it likely relates to claims made and data that supports those claims, she added. “I would like to see a pathway be found for registration of this type of product, recognizing that with the Avivagen discovery work, that was largely taxpayer funding,” said Szkotnicki. “It would be nice if we could use our own discovery, so

hopefully we can find that commercialization pathway.” OxC-beta was originally developed by scientists at the National Research Council. Groome agreed there is some irony in a Canadian-invented product facing difficulty with registration here while being accepted in other countries. That could put Canadian livestock producers at a disadvantage, whether it is their inability to use OxC-beta or some other product that could help reduce antibiotic use. “This is not an issue that’s going to go away or that producers in Canada are going to be able to lobby their way out of,” he said. “We’ve got to be in a position to respond.” barb.glen@producer.com

ECO-FRIENDLY CELEBRATION

Wedding day passion for beautiful future Happy couples are finding ways to celebrate while keeping environment in mind BY MARIA JOHNSON FREELANCE WRITER

LACOMBE, Alta. — Many couples envision their wedding as beautiful, memorable and unique but some also want their day to be eco-friendly. Lindsay Coulter, who is dubbed the Queen of Green at the David Suzuki Foundation in Vancouver, provides tips and advice on how to live in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. Much of her eco-friendly wedding advice comes from her own nuptials a decade ago. “I was known to my florist and caterer as the girl that was doing that thing,” Coulter said. The practice of wearing your mother’s wedding dress has been around for years. It’s a sentimental choice if it fits or doesn’t require too many alterations. For a new dress, Coulter recommended considering natural fibres like cotton or silk. She also said that there are online sites dedicated to the reuse of wedding attire and decor. Other considerations include buying conflict free diamonds, lab created diamonds or rings crafted from materials such as downed trees. “Some people choose Canadian diamonds or a family heirloom and recycled gold,” Coulter said. Today, most people are comfortable with e-vites, emailed wedding invitations, a practice that saves trees. “A lot of people are creating their own wedding websites,” she said. It enables the couple to manage who is attending the wedding and informs guests about hotels, registry links, maps, rehearsals and nearby amenities.

The wedding photography can also be shared online. An outdoor garden in bloom can provide an abundance of wedding flowers without additional cost. If a bouquet is a must, Coulter advised finding a florist that sources fair trade blooms or organic locally grown flowers . Friends or relatives might be honoured to supply the flowers from their garden. For the meal, Coulter said to find a caterer whose menu includes seasonal locally grown food. “A plated meal is a lot less wasteful than a buffet,” she sad. Coulter also encourages supporting local distilleries. “There’s a whole movement towards local breweries. What a great way to showcase what’s in your area.” Ho l d i n g t h e c e re m o n y a n d reception at one location minimizes travel. Guests can counter the detrimental effects of air travel and the burning of jet fuel by purchasing carbon offsets. Numerous online sites provide carbon offset information. For the honeymoon, air travel is likely, so again consider carbon offsets but also research ecotourism or international volunteering. You can create a memorable, meaningful experience with your partner while protecting the environment or helping those in need. Modelling your commitment to bettering the planet on your wedding day can send a tangible message. “If you set this up as your template it challenges you to question the status quo. It challenges you to think outside the box. But you do end up with a unique wedding,” Coulter said.

Gluten-free not ideal diet HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

TEAM RESOURCES

I have been on a gluten-free diet for fibromyalgia for a year now and I am feeling better. I feed the whole family — my husband and two children, 5 and 7 — the same diet because it is too complicated to cook different meals for everyone. Is this OK? I assume it is healthier for everyone to eat gluten free food, even if they do not have an existing health problem.

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

hubarb is popular in springtime desserts. It is low in calories and fat and high in fibre. It is rich in vitamin A, potassium and calcium. The leaves contain oxalic acid and are toxic. It is important to note that if a heavy frost or spell of cold weather comes after the stalks have grown, the oxalic acid may be transferred down the stalk. To be safe, all stalks that were subjected to very cold weather should be cut off and discarded. Subsequent new growth is fine to eat.

RHUBARB CORNBREAD 2 c. rhubarb 500 mL 2 tbsp. sugar 30 mL 1/2 tsp. ground ginger, 2 mL cinnamon or cardamom 1 c. corn flour 250 mL 1 tsp. baking powder 5 mL 1/4 tsp. salt 1 mL 1/2 c. sugar 125 mL 1/2 c. unsalted butter, 125 mL softened 2 eggs 2 tbsp. sour cream 30 mL 1 tsp. vanilla extract 5 mL 1 tbsp. raw sugar 15 mL Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Grease a nine inch (22 cm) round cake pan. Gently toss rhubarb with two tablespoons (30 mL) of sugar and the spice of your choice. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together corn flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, beat 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar with the butter until creamy. Beat in eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Add corn flour mixture to butter mixture and stir just enough to combine. Pour batter into the cake pan and spread into an even layer. Arrange rhubarb on top of batter. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cake to cool and then sprinkle the raw sugar. Slice and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Serves eight.

RHUBARB MERINGUE PIE Eggs should be at room temperature when making meringue. It usually takes about 30 minutes for eggs from the refrigerator to warm up to room temperature. Older eggs give better volume than fresh eggs. Be sure the bowl and utensils are fat-free because the tiniest bit of fat will ruin the meringue. Add the sugar when the egg whites have reached the soft peak stage. The peaks will fall over gen-

tly when they have reached the soft peak stage. Gradually add sugar until stiff peaks are formed. Put the meringue on a piping hot pie. Cover the top completely and touch the crust all around to prevent it from shrinking. The heat will partially cook the bottom of the meringue and prevent shrinking and weeping.

buttery pastry rhubarb, raw 1-1.25 L orange zest 5 mL separated sugar 150 mL + 1/4 c. 60 mL 2 tbsp. all purpose flour 30 mL 2 tbsp. butter, melted 30 mL 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar 1 mL

Roll out pastry and line a deep pie plate. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 F. Chop the rhubarb into roughly one centimetre slices. Also cut in half lengthways if the stalks are wide and chunky. Scatter on a baking sheet and bake until tender. Remove and drain, reserving the liquid. Separate eggs, putting the whites aside for the meringue. Beat egg yolks in a medium sized bowl with a fork. Add 2/3 cup sugar, flour and the melted butter. Continue to beat until blended. Then add the eggs and 1/3 cup of the rhubarb liquid to make a smooth and runny paste. Add rhubarb and mix to blend. Pour into pastry shell. Bake until set, about 30 to 40 minutes. Beat egg whites until they form soft peaks, add cream of tartar, 1/4 cup of remaining sugar and continue to beat until glossy and stiff peaks form. Spoon over the hot cooked rhubarb pie, making sure it is completely covered and there is no gap where rhubarb can bubble through the meringue. Use the spoon to bring some of the meringue into peaks. Put back in the oven for about 15 minutes until the peaks are toasted. Cool for 10 minutes and serve.

Many food companies and grocery stores have jumped on the gluten free bandwagon because they can charge more for the products. Whole sections of stores are now often devoted to gluten free food. It is also fashionable to try to eat “healthy” food, which may not actually be healthier for all individuals. The only medical conditions that actually require a gluten free diet are wheat allergies, celiac disease and the associated skin disease, dermatitis herpetiformis. There is also a rare nerve disease called gluten sensitive idiopathic neuropathy. However, the vast majority of gluten free food is bought by people who do not have any of these illnesses. In a recent article in the Journal of Pediatrics called The Gluten-Free Diet: Recognizing Fact, Fiction, and Fad, author Dr. Norelle R. Reilly said there is more risk than benefit to a gluten-free diet for people — especially children — who haven’t been diagnosed with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. Reilly, a specialist in pediatric gastroenterology in New York, wrote: “Parents should be counselled as to the possible financial, social and nutritional consequences of unnecessary implementation of a gluten-free diet.” Gluten-free products typically lack the fortification with iron and B vitamins that are added to traditional wheat-based products. As well, gluten-free baked goods tend to be made with more fat, oil and sugar to make them palatable and prevent dough from crumbling. Gluten is what gives bread and cakes their sponginess and elasticity. In addition, a large part of glutenfree cooking involves rice and rice flour. Rice contains higher levels of mercury and arsenic than wheat because it naturally extracts these heavy metals from the soil in which it grows. Fibromyalgia affects up to four percent of the population, and there is still no known cause or recognized treatment. I suggest you check with your doctor regarding the diet, and even if you continue with it yourself, please feed the rest of your family a normal diet, even if it involves extra work.

Sustainability essential as family farm expands BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

WILLOWBROOK, Sask. — Labour is the one thing the Prybylski family doesn’t have to worry about on their farm. When a grain company once offered them a supper in the field, there were 22 people to feed. That’s because each member has a skill to bring to the operation, even if it’s for only a short time. Creekridge Farms Ltd. is an incorporated family farm owned by Bill Prybylski, his brother, Richard, and Richard’s sons, Josh and Mark. However, Bill has four children and Richard has 10. There are also spouses and grandchildren as well as two fulltime employees and spring and fall workers. And there’s the New Zealand farmer who comes each fall for a couple of weeks of vacation to help with harvest. “You never know who’s driving a combine,” Josh said with a laugh. Bill is the youngest of seven children and lives in the yard his parents established in 1951. He began farming with his father and bought the operation in 1991 when his parents retired to Yorkton, Sask. Richard and his family live down the road, where they ran a dairy for a long time. Josh worked off the farm as a welder until 2007, when the farm was incorporated. Mark bought in later and the corporation is set up

welder, is interested in coming back to the farm. His oldest daughter, Mary, is the bookkeeper, and youngest daughter Tracy is off to Olds College on a hockey scholarship in the fall to also study agriculture business. “We would look at any land that comes up for rent or sale here,” said Bill. The Prybylskis seed 10,000 acres and have a 250-head cow-calf Charolais and Angus based herd. Calves are sold in the fall at Heartland Livestock in Yorkton. “We stuck to February-March calving so this time of year we can concentrate on getting equipment ready for seeding,” Bill said in late April. They grow canola, wheat, barley, oats, peas and occasionally flax. This year, they will plant 300 acres of soybeans for the first time for both the challenge and rotation. “Moisture is our biggest limiting factor,” said Josh. In 2001, when much of the province was dry, they had one of their best crops ever. They were able to seed last year but lost crop to too much rain. It’s been so wet the last five years that yields have been average and salt is rising to the soil surface. The record production year of 2013 was not the best for them. Creekridge gets its name from the three creeks that run through the farm — Cussed, Sorefoot and Willowbrook — which provide natural drainage into the Assiniboine River system. The creeks also provide enough marginal land to pasture cattle and grow hay. The cows stay out on pasture and graze corn or bale graze through the winter until calving season. Bill was honoured at Yorkton’s Harvest Showdown in 2014 with the Farmer Recognition Award for his contributions to agriculture and the community. “We’ve always run demonstration plots, research and field days, corral building and cattle equipment demos,” he said.

ON THE FARM

THE PRYBYLSKI FAMILY Willowbrook, Sask. “We’re always looking for ways to do things better.” For the last 10 years, the family, with the help of neighbours and company donations, has donated the proceeds from one quarter to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Giving back and participating in the community is important to Bill. He has been a rural municipal councillor and still sits on some boards. He is the RM of Garry’s representative to the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan. From manager of Tracy’s AAA Midget girls’ hockey team in Melville, Sask., to the Willowbrook Veselka Ukrainian dance club to 4-H to the Ukrainian Catholic church, Bill’s contributions are many. These days he says he spends more time in the office than in a tractor, thanks to having so much help. “I’ll probably never leave entirely, but I will have no problem turning it over,” he said. “Succession should be a fairly simple process. We’re just hoping to build an entity that we’ll be able to pass on, that’s sustainable.” Farming is an attractive option for Amy and Josh and the others. “I think with new technology and development, it’s just more appealing,” said Amy. Josh, who with his wife is raising another generation on the farm, said it’s a way of life. “Hopefully it will stay a profitable way of life,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

4-H INVOLVEMENT

4-H combines work and fun for cattle producers Mom says the club has increased the children’s confidence and decision-making skills BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

MONTMARTRE, Sask. — What started as a fun new activity to try has turned into a serious business for the Sebastian family. The family of five now dedicates nearly every day to selecting, feeding and training their 4-H cattle. And as for the fun, they say that has only increased as they become more involved. Their trial run in the FillmoreFrancis 4-H Club began in 2008 on a suggestion from farm friends to try it out. Brian and Sarah Sebastian’s oldest son, Evan, was 10 years old at the time and was eager to join his farm buddies on a new adventure. The mixed farmers had never been involved with 4-H, but they thought they’d try it for a year with five-year-old Emily and three-yearold Delaney in tow. “That first year, we learned how to finish last in everything, and if there had been a place below last, we would have been in it,” Brian joked while explaining that he had never been in 4-H as a kid and had no idea what was involved with showing cattle. “It was nerve racking to watch your kid go into a ring with a 1,200 pound animal,” said Sarah, who grew up on an acreage near Pilot Butte, Sask.

Show cattle take centre stage for the Sebastian family, which includes Sarah, left, Brian, Delaney, Emily and Evan. | The family persevered through their first years in 4-H, thanks to mentorship by experienced club leader Levi Jackson and other 4-H parents. By the time Delaney had turned six, she too was showing cattle, as was Emily. Being part of 4-H is now a passion for all five family members with 17-year-old Evan being senior showmanship champion at the Brandon fair in 2016, 12-year-old Emily winning the junior showmanship division in Brandon in 2016 and nine-year-old Delaney being reserved junior champion at the same event.

The list of awards for the Sebastian kids is long, but the highlight for all three is working together as a family. The Sebastian’s are serious about weighing their steers and heifers on the first Saturday of every month, even if it falls on a holiday. They are also dedicated to sitting down with their 4-H record books on the first Sunday of every month to record the new data and adjust their upcoming month’s feed rations. “It’s like a big family vacation when we go to shows,” said Evan. The family’s annual show circuit i n c l u d e s C a n a d i a n We s t e r n

Agribition in Regina, the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair in Brandon, the Yorkton Exhibition in Yorkton, S a s k . , t h e We y b u r n Fa i r i n Weyburn, Sask., and their 4-H club’s achievement day. As the Sebastians grew more serious about showing cattle, they realized that their own herd of commercial beef cows could not compete with club calves. So in 2013, Evan bought his first club calf, launching the family into a breeding program that sees the siblings fighting over sire directories. “For them, getting a new catalogue in the mail is better than the

Christmas Wish Book,” said Brian. The children will sneak the bull profile magazines under their pillows at night and take them to school so that they have first dibs on them, he added. Sarah said she is thankful they took the step seven years ago to get involved when she looks back now at how far her three children have come in 4-H. “4-H is something that we can do together as a family to be together with the kids and to see their confidence, decision-making skills and responsibility for their animals grow,” said Sarah.

out of every three bites we take. Pollination is essential for vegetables such as cucumbers, squash and pumpkins while other fruits and vegetables produce better quality and quantity after pollination. Without pollination, plants would not produce the seed necessary for their survival. Our relationship with bees, butterflies and other pollinators must be reciprocal. If they are necessary for our food supply, then we should roll out the welcome mat and provide food, water and shelter. Rather than cursing the darkness of the decline of pollinators, we can light one small candle by restoring the natural ecosystem on our properties. Flowers are the main food source. Mimic nature and you will make an impact. Wild flowers can be supplemented with low maintenance choices such as Cosmos, Sweet Williams and Zinnias. It is important that you plan wisely to ensure a continuum of bloom from early spring to late fall. Monarch butterflies have a preference for milkweed but make sure that your choice is not designated a noxious weed in your province. Water is a necessity for wildlife and most prairie people enjoy some type of water feature on their property. Unfortunately, a pristine bird bath will not adequately serve bees and insects.

They require rocks or driftwood to perch on and appreciate a little mud with their drink. Native bees are mostly solitary and do not live in colonies. They nest in the ground, hollow trees or plant stems so a fastidiously neat garden is a poor habitat. If you have a small property, you can

augment your backyard ecosystem with subsidized housing. A simple house that mason bees will appreciate can be made in a bird house style with holes drilled in varying diameters from two to 10 millimetres. The holes must be 12 to 20 centimetres deep and closed at the back. Bamboo also works well. The bee

house should face south or east for morning sun and be placed one to two metres above the ground. After building your first bee home, you will be ready to build an insect hotel or an entire resort.

DISCIPLINING CHILDREN

Stories celebrate Aboriginal culture

Saying no to spanking

The initiative encourages First Nations and Metis people to use the power of the spoken word BY CHRISTALEE FROESE

SPEAKING OF LIFE

FREELANCE WRITER

REGINA — Aboriginal performer Kevin Wesaquate shared his experience recently, taking his Regina audience on a walk down S a s k a t o o n ’s 2 0 t h St re e t a n d through his childhood as a “little Indian kid.” “I remember as a kid my nimosom (grandfather in Cree) telling me never to speak aboriginal if I wanted to survive,” said Wesaquate, a founder of Saskatoon’s Indigenous Poets Society. “I hope what I do strikes a chord or changes an opinion and, in the end, helps create more awareness and more social justice.” Wesaquate’s performance was designed to shine a light on racism and challenges he had experienced as an aboriginal. Regina poet and Campion College professor Randy Lundy also took to the stage to read from his two poetry books: Under the Night Sun and The Gift of the Hawk. Lundy said that without the spoken word, an integral part of being an aboriginal person is missing. “If we don’t get together and shine a light on our stories, it leads down all kinds of dark paths and we forget about why we’re here and where we came from,” said Lundy. The Library Services for Saskatchewan First Nations took up the challenge of honouring oral traditions, launching the first Aboriginal Storytelling Project in 2004. The Minister’s Advisory Committee on Library Services for Aboriginal People was established in 2001 to address two areas of

We have three children The problem is that because neither my boyfriend nor I grew up with other children we are not sure how to deal with the chaos that often rumbles through our living room. My boyfriend wants to become the sergeant major, putting our house in order by demanding acquiescence and bending over to corporal punishment. I don’t think that I can do that. What are some of my other options?

Kevin Wesaquate delivers a spoken-word performance in Regina during Aboriginal Storytelling Month. concern regarding public library service . First, only a small proportion of First Nations’ communities in southern Saskatchewan chose to join the public library system, creating barriers to providing library service for residents of non-participating communities. In addition, public libraries were not attracting off-reserve First Nations and Metis people in numbers reflecting their proportion of the population. Since 2004, Aboriginal Storytelling Month has been held annually to bring First Nations and Metis people into public libraries. Wendy Sinclair, one of the founders of the Aboriginal Storytelling Project, said more than 18,000 people participated in 394 aboriginal storytelling sessions.

ing a welcoming environment and bringing in non-library users into a community where they might have felt they may not have belonged before,” she said. Events included puppet shows, performances and storytelling seminars in schools, libraries and communities. Rae Pelletier, Aboriginal Storytelling co-ordinator, said this year’s events were successful because they celebrate the central importance of the spoken word in aboriginal culture. “It’s a traditional way of passing on knowledge that has been followed for centuries,” said Pelletier . The minister’s advisory committee included representatives from libraries and First Nations and Metis institutions. It identified ways to promote First Nations and Metis participation and commitment in developing and maintaining library services for First Nations and Metis.

If we don’t get together and shine a light on our stories, it leads down all kinds of dark paths and we forget about why we’re here and where we came from. RANDY LUNDY POET

The trouble with corporal punishment is that while it can often give short-term results, the long-term consequences are disheartening. If you deploy corporal punishment, you may get your two older children to sit quietly at the dinner table and eat their spinach. But in the long term, you are likely to find out that your children would rather not come to the dining table at all. The option to corporal punishment is guidance. When you are guiding your children, you are doing more than just yelling at them or spanking them for noncompliance. You are sitting in discussion with them and showing them, rather than telling them, the proper rules of etiquette. The kids are likely to get impatient with you and may act out a bit, and that of course is not acceptable. However, you don’t need to spank them. Just send them to their rooms for brief time outs. Don’t forget the part of the timeout that says you and the child are going to have a little talk afterward to help the him know why he was given a time out in the first place. There are a number of time-out options, which you can find on the shelves of any bookstore. What I would like to suggest is that you and your boyfriend spend some time going through the books written about child care with an eye to picking just one option to serve as a guiding light for both of you. It has to be something with which each of you is comfortable. Just make sure that it is something other than corporal punishment. Then throw out the other books and commit both of you to the strategies of the book you found acceptable. At least then you can be working together on this thing. And while you are doing that, I hope you remember that your children are still young. Some chaos at their ages is inevitable.

25 YEARS AGO

Decentralization of gov’t departments fails for Sask. PCs 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: June 5, 1941 The federal government introduced the regulations it would use to limit the delivery of wheat in 1941-42 to 230 million bushels. The Canadian Wheat Board would be responsible for ensuring that the goal was met. American wheat growers agreed in a national referendum to give the U.S. Department of Agriculture authority to control the sale of their crops in 1941. The goal was to keep surplus production of the 1941 bread grain crop off the market until it might be needed. Cotton and tobacco farmers also agreed. 50 years ago: June 2, 1966 A proposal to increase St. Lawrence Seaway tolls by 10 percent

sparked a fierce backlash from a variety of organizations, including farm groups. The only organizations to support the move were Canadian Pacific Railway, the Railway Association of Canada and the Quebec City Trade and Commerce Bureau. W.J. Harper, director of research and information with the Farmers’ Union of Alberta, said many farmers who are “slowly going broke” could survive and make a reasonable living if the prices for the commodities they produced increased by the same rate as wages paid to other Canadians. 25 years ago: June 6, 1991 Saskatchewan’s Progressive Conservative government, which was months away from losing power, announced it would move the agriculture department’s headquarters to Humboldt, a town of 5,000. Branch offices would be set up in surrounding communities with the livestock branch in Lanigan and soils and crops in Watson. It was part of a bigger plan to decentralize government out of Regina. The PCs called it Fair Share Saskatchewan, and it never materialized. Net farm income fell 28 percent in 1990 to $3 billion, and more than 56 percent of that came from government programs. The Prairies were hardest hit: net income

Members of the Graysville 4-H Goat Club in Graysville, Man., posed for a photograph in March 1984. | FILE PHOTO fell 72 percent to $227 million in Saskatchewan, 45 percent to $403 million in Alberta and 53 percent to $145 million in Manitoba. Farm debt rose to a record $23.8 billion. 10 years ago: June 1, 2006 A Canadian Wheat Board survey

found that 45 percent of prairie farmers wanted the board to keep its single desk marketing powers, while 54 percent wanted either a dual market or a fully open market. However, 75 percent said they wanted farmers to be able to make the final decision in a vote, which in the end didn’t happen.

Farm debt ballooned to $51 billion in 2005, increasing by $2.2 billion, or 4.5 percent, from the previous year. David Rolfe, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, called it a ticking time bomb. bruce.dyck@producer.com

Proposal would reduce cost Ag minister takes heat over GM issue when family buys business Lawrence MacAulay seen as interfering with agriculture committee agenda It is better to sell to a stranger under current tax laws

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is lauding a federal private member’s bill that would make farm transfers within families easier. Quebec NDP MP Guy Caron introduced Bill C-274 May 19. It p ro p o s e s c h a n g e s t o t h e Income Tax Act that would ease the tax burden on sales of small businesses, family farms and fishing businesses. “Mr. Speaker, my bill would end a blatantly unfair situation that puts businesspeople, farmers and fishing vessel operators at a disadvantage when they want to pass their business on to a child rather than a stranger,” Caron said in the House of Commons. He said there is a disincentive to sell within families because of the tax implications. “For a million-dollar business, the difference can be around $200,000 from a taxation perspective,” he said. “For a $10 million farm, we are talking $2.2 million less if the owner sells it to a stranger rather than a family member. We have to do something about this.” Using that example, Caron said an arm’s-length purchase allows the seller to use a lifetime capital gains exemption for farms of $1 million. “So if you sell it for $10 million, you only have $9 million to pay tax on, and for capital gains you’re only taxed at 50 percent,” he said in an interview. Depending on the province, that $4.5 million would be taxed at 35 to 40 percent, he said. However, the sale is considered a dividend gain if a family member buys the business. “There is no lifetime exemption of the dividend, and so you’re taxed on the full amount, and depending on the province it could be between 25 and 30 percent of the whole amount,” he said. The CFA has identified this issue as a priority. “Over $50 billion in farm assets are set to change hands over the next 10 years as farmers age and future plans are made,” said president Ron Bonnett. “We are pleased to see this issue move forward in Parliament and are hopeful it receives the political profile and priority it deserves.” Caron, who said agriculture represents 12 percent of the economy in his riding, said his bill also contains measures to deal with tax avoidance by requiring the new owner to own the farm for at least

five years. He said the bill should be debated later this fall under the federal process for private member’s bills. He has already been speaking to MPs from other parties and said he has had positive reaction from Conservative and Bloc Quebecois members. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Union des Producteurs Agricoles du Quebec and Montreal Chamber of Commerce also support the bill, he said. karen.briere@producer.com

The Conservative agriculture critic says the federal minister has overstepped by asking the agriculture committee to study genetically modified animals. “It’s unbelievable,” said Chris Warkentin a day after Lawrence MacAulay told reporters in Ottawa that he had asked the committee to examine the issue and report back before the end of the year. That announcement came after Health Canada and Canadian Food Inspection Agency said they had approved the GM AquAdvan-

tage Salmon for both human and animal consumption. The salmon, which was developed by an American company, was approved for sale in the United States last fall. It should be in Canadian stores in about a year. Wa r k e n t i n s a i d Ma c A u l a y received feedback causing him to question the scientific work that resulted in the approval. “If he is not in support of what his department has done, then the minister should come out and say that,” he said. “He has the responsibility to come out to Canadians and explain what he believes is the problem.”

However, Warkentin was more troubled by what he saw as interference with an independent committee. Typically, the committees set their own agendas and operate to complement the work of government. The agriculture committee already has several studies on the go, including bee health and the next agricultural policy framework. Warkentin said committee members “are able to do math” and assume the Liberal majority membership will control its agenda. The GM study will have to be done. karen.briere@producer.com

PEA / CROSS AUGERS Move lightweight, fluffy crops such as peas, mustard, canola and lentils easily & consistently through your draper header with our complete full-length pea auger kits. Auger flighting is kept very close to the ends of the header to help keep the crop from bunching. *Please inquire for available models. HAYBINE ROLLERS Replace your worn & cracked rubber rollers with our wear-resistant steel rollers for durability and at less cost. * Made to OEM specs for all makes/models. * Sold in sets or as single rollers. * Can be set to crimp crops more or less intensely as required which gives a drier result.

Your affordable choice for quality Canadian-made products.

BIOTECHNOLOGY

Gene editing poses new dilemma for Europe The European Union is warned about the dangers of treating the new technology like it does genetic modification LOND ON, U.K . (Reuters) — Heat-tolerant Angus beef cattle designed for the tropics with white coats instead of black or red. A button mushroom that doesn’t turn brown. Pigs that don’t fall sick. These are all ideas thrown up by gene editing, a new technology that is taking the biomedical world by storm and promises a revolution down on the farm. It poses a thorny problem for European policymakers wary of new molecular manipulation in agriculture after a quarter century of conflict over genetically modified food. In a research lab in Norwich, northeast of London, Wendy Harwood is making exact DNA tweaks in barley plants to produce bettergerminating grain with higher yield and quality. “We’ve never been able to go in and make such a precise change as we can now with gene editing,” said the John Innes Centre scientist. “ Th i s g i v e s y o u e x a c t l y t h e change you want without anything you don’t want.” Further to the south of England in Basingstoke, animal genetics firm Genus has tapped the same CRISPR-Cas9 technique to develop the world’s first pigs that are resistant to a devastating and common viral disease. Agricultural scientists and companies worldwide are joining the gene editing race. DuPont, which is merging with Dow Chemical , hopes to have CRISPR-edited corn and wheat on the market in five to 10 years. Bright ideas from others include improved varieties of rice, soybeans and tomatoes, as well as hornless cattle and the heat-tolerant breed of Angus. Using “molecular scissors” to cut DNA means scientists can edit genomes more precisely and rapidly than ever before, and agricultural products, which don’t need the same clinical trials as human drugs, could get to market relatively quickly. Last month, a non-browning button mushroom became the first CRISPR-edited organism to get a green light from the U.S. government, and several crops developed with two older, less efficient editing tools have already been approved. However, whether such products will ever arrive on European farms

Changes to gene altering technology pose new questions for regulators. | is another matter because the European Commission has not made a decision on how they will be regulated, leaving the new science in limbo. The European Union executive had been due to decide by the end of 2015 whether to class gene-edited products as genetically modified organisms, subjecting them to the same stringent restrictions that have curbed GMO use in Europe. This deadline was missed, as was a second one at the end of March, and there is now no new timeline for a decision. Both sides in the debate are worried. Greenpeace wants the EU’s GMO law to be fully applied to new breeding techniques such as gene editing because of potential environmental and health impacts, and it fears Brussels is dithering under pressure from Washington.

“We are concerned that we would get products that are risky but could arrive on the market without any risk assessment or labelling or detection methods,” said spokesperson Franziska Achterberg. She believes the EU has delayed regulation to pave the way for a transatlantic trade deal, citing a document in which a U.S. official warned that “different regulatory approaches between governments to NBT (new breeding techniques) classification would lead to potentially significant trade disruptions.” A commission spokesperson denied the delays had anything to do with Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership trade pact talks with the United States but could not say when the EU would make a ruling. Biotechnology companies argue that their gene edited products are non-GMO because they do not

contain foreign DNA from a different species. “We fundamentally see gene editing as being very distinct from GMO,” said Karim Bitar, chief executive officer of Genus. “It’s a very precise cut, and there is no movement of genes from one species to another. That’s a major attraction.” The argument is complex. Unlike traditional GMOs, in which a gene is added from another organism, gene editing works like the find-and-replace function on a word processor. It finds a gene and then makes changes by amending or deleting it. Proponents argue this makes it similar to conventional selective breeding, which is freely allowed in the EU, because such mutations within the same species can, and do, also occur naturally. Rene Smulders, a plant breeder at

Wageningen University in the Netherlands, said the current uncertainty is affecting research. His group had a grant application turned down last year because of concerns about the legal situation. He wants Europe to follow the lead of Canada, which decides on new products based on their traits rather than on how those traits were produced. “Europe’s process-based legislation creates problems and is not suitable for the future,” Smulders said. Cellectis CEO Andre Choulika, whose Calyxt unit has used older forms of gene editing to improve potatoes, wheat and soybeans, thinks the odds are 50:50 that geneediting will end up being classified as GMO in Europe. “If Europe does that, I think they will probably send themselves into the stone age of agricultural biotechnology,” he said.

GENETIC MODIFICATION

Labelling GM salmon would make marketing sense: prof BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Labelling genetically modified salmon might be a way for everybody to make more money from it, says an agricultural economist. “If you’re putting the same salmon in the same (grocery case), you won’t be able to increase the equity at retail as much as you can with a label,” said Sylvain Charlebois, dean of management and food distribution at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

“It’s really a matter of providing consumers with an opportunity to make an educated decision.” Charlebois said many consumers won’t care much about whether salmon is GM and will focus on price and quality, like they do today. Others will want non-GM salmon, and might be willing to pay extra for non-GM or organic salmon. Without labels, there’s no chance to divide the market and charge premiums for certain types of salmon, Charlebois said.

Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have approved grocery store sales of GM salmon, mirroring a similar U.S. move a few months ago. The new salmon does not need to be labelled as different. It was created by combining genes from Chinook and Atlantic salmon and including material from a species of eel. The result is a much faster-growing salmon that gets to market in about half the time as regular farm-raised salmon. Anti-GM activists have

attacked the altered fish and demanded it be labelled as GM. Some grocery chains have said they won’t carry it. Charlebois agreed it should be labelled but not because he thinks there is anything wrong with the meat from GM fish. He thinks most consumers don’t care whether food contains GM elements. Most processed food now does. However, consumers who value non-GM food might be willing to pay more for non-GM salmon, so why not label GM salmon?

“The more you recognize the heterogeneous nature of markets, the better off you are because you will be able to capitalize on niche markets,” said Charlebois. “In the food business today, that’s what you need to do. You can’t consider all consumers to be the same. They don’t want the same. They want different things.” Charlebois thinks the issue might show the way forward for many food products and for the evolution of GM livestock. ed.white@producer.com

AERIAL APPLICATORS

Indonesian crop dusters train with Sask. firm Pilot training has become another revenue stream for prairie aerial applicators as the industry undergoes change BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Four Indonesian pilots have passed the first phase of training in Saskatchewan as they prepare to become licensed aerial applicators. The young pilots started their training in April with Miccar Aerial of Yorkton, Sask. Indonesia’s PT Elang Nusantara Air chose Miccar to train the pilots for its aerial fertilization program. All four Indonesians arrived with commercial pilot training and proficiency speaking English. Instructor Devan Yaholnitsky said Miccar has trained more than 50 pilots since it began operating in 1996, including New Zealand, Spain, Columbia, France, Ivory Coast and Great Britain as well as Canada. He said agricultural airplanes are basically the same around the world. The two manufacturers are Air Tractor and Thrush. The students began the 35 hour training process using the small two-seater Bellanca Citabria and then moved to a Piper Pawnee and eventually a Thrush 510P. This turbine-powered aircraft is the same make they will be using in Indonesia. Yahonlnitsky said the turbine significantly reduces the risk of engine failure compared to a piston engine. “But it’s still a possibility, so we talked about it a lot while they’ve been here and what to do if that happens,” he said. “Even if there’s a crop in the field (in Saskatchewan), the outcome is not going to be catastrophic. You can even take a road. We’ve got a road every mile here.” However, Indonesia is a country with millions of acres of jungle, where the pilots will be spreading fertilizer on palm plantations to help the trees grow. Palm trees are harvested for their fruit and oil, which are used in the cosmetic industry. “The type of flying that they’re doing is similar to what we do here with the exception of they’re applying dry fertilizer where typically here in Canada we’re spraying liquid pesticides, whether it’s to control weeds, bugs or fungus,” he said. Yahonlnitsky said the dry fertilizer is applied at 100 to 150 pounds

Indonesian pilots are training to become licensed aerial applicators at Miccar Aerial.

Planes hold 3,500 pounds per load. Pilot Reza Rachmat said he thought his training went well, but all students found it challenging to adjust from their commercial aircraft to agricultural applicators. “The toughest thing was as a commercial pilot, we flew with the nose wheel, whereas aerial applicators are a tail wing plane,” he said. “It was very challenging for us to figure out how to take off and land.” Rachmat said the pilots will have about six months more training before qualifying in Indonesia, but in a country that imports most of its pilots, they will be among a handful of homegrown aerial applicators. Miccar Aerial is one of two com-

panies in Canada that do agricultural pilot training, which is another revenue stream it uses to keep airborne in an evolving industry. Yaholnitsky said larger farms in Western Canada have started buying their own aircraft. “We saw that as a change in how the industry used to be where you phoned the operator and they come spray the field. The farms have grown to the size now that farmers can’t wait for the aircraft. They need their own and hire a pilot to spray the farm,” he said. “We are seeing that happening and thought, ‘how do we stay in the industry and be profitable and give something back to the industry.’ That’s when we looked at training.” william.dekay@producer.com

GRAIN HANDLING

Residents try to save Sask. terminal slated for demolition Cargill plans to tear down the 30-year-old concrete elevator at Raymore, Sask., because it no longer fits into its plans BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Residents of Raymore, Sask., are fighting a last minute battle to save a concrete elevator from the wrecking ball. Cargill Canada is planning to demolish the elevator in the community about 100 kilometres north of Regina. The facility was built in the mid1980s but it no longer fits into Cargill’s plans.

Raymore mayor Malcolm Koncz said the company has expressed its intent to demolish the building, but had not yet applied for a demolition permit as of May 20. Terry Fazakas, a Raymore resident and business owner, is leading an effort to buy the elevator. He said demolishing it would hurt the local economy and the community. He thinks the terminal can be used to create local jobs and develop new business opportunities.

Fazakas has already submitted an offer to buy the terminal and is putting together a business plan at Cargill’s request. He said the elevator could serve a niche market in agriculture, perhaps handling specialty crops that Cargill doesn’t deal in. “We know we’d have to sign a non-compete clause,” Fazakas said. “There are lots of potential uses that won’t have an impact on what Cargill is doing.” The Raymore terminal was used

to collect canola before it closed in December 2015. Oilseeds were delivered to the facility, stored and transferred to other Cargill locations, including the company’s specialty oil crushing plant in Clavet, Sask.

BEER MAKING

Good time to grow hops as demand, price rise U.S.’s booming craft beer industry has helped increase demand for the crop, which is crucial for making the brew BOUGHTON UNDER BLEAN, U.K. (Reuters) — Fans of craft beers could soon face higher bar bills as small, independent brewers face a potentially serious shortage of a vital ingredient: hops. L a s t s u m m e r ’s h o t a n d d r y weather blighted the European hop harvest and strong demand for increasingly popular craft beers, which use a lot of hops, is putting small brewers’ profit margins under pressure and forcing them to raise their prices. Prices of some hop varieties have risen by up to 50 percent, industry sources say, while industry insiders say others are up to five times more expensive or simply not available. On his farm in Kent, not far from London, Tony Redsell has been growing hops since 1948 and some of the varieties he cultivates, strung along yarns supported by rows of high poles in traditional fashion, are more than 200 years old. He sells most of his hops under contract to small brewers in the United States and his prices have risen by 20 percent in the past three years. Last year the German crop was well down and American growers could not make up the difference, suggesting prices will go up again. “The growth of craft brewing in the United States has boosted demand for English varieties,” Redsell told Reuters. “It’s a good time to be hop farmer.” Most brewers have contracts with hop growers that protect them from sudden price surges, but future supply is at risk. The scarcity may also get worse as multinationals such as Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller buy up craft brands and ramp up their production. “It’s tough for brewers, especially brewers that don’t have hop contracts or who were a little late to the contracting game,” said Bill Manley, small batch product manager at Californian craft pioneer Sierra Nevada. If you underestimate sales and need more hops, as can happen if a beer suddenly gets popular, he said “you have to go around and knock on doors like a neighbour trying to borrow a cup of sugar.” Along with water, malt and yeast, hops are one of the main ingredients of beer. Germany and the United States are the two dominant hop growers, each accounting for

But Germany’s harvest shrunk by 27 percent last summer, according to the International Hop Growers’ Convention. There were also sharp declines in other European producers such as the Czech Republic and Slovenia. “There has been a considerable tightening of supplies on the European hop market after the major reduction in the 2015 harvest with a sharp increase in prices,” said Stephan Barth of German-based global hop merchant the Barth Haas Group. “Europe will need at least an average harvest in 2016 otherwise we could see serious supply shortages,” he added. Barth said some hop prices had already shot up by 35 to 50 percent depending on type since last

summer. Craft beers are produced by small, independent brewers using traditional methods. Popular styles such as India Pale Ale can use six times the volume of hops used in the conventional lagers from which they have taken market share. Rabobank analysts Ciska van den Berg and Francois Sonneville forecast an increase in global beer consumption of around one percent in 2016 as drinkers continue to trade up to craft beers. Craft beer accounts for one pint in eight in the United States and is becoming more popular elsewhere, according to Bart Watson, chief economist with the U.S. Brewers Association. “We’re seeing small and independent brewers spring up in a

variety of locations across the globe. Europe, particularly northern Europe, is one area,” Watson said. Rabobank said craft beer had become “a worldwide phenomenon” and would ensure strong demand for hops this year. The world’s big brewers, producers of lagers like Budweiser, Miller Lite, Heineken and Coors, do use hops but in smaller amounts than in than craft beers. That may be changing though, as they have been jumping on the craft beer bandwagon by buying small brewers or developing their own craftlike brews. AB InBev “has a policy of longterm contracts and sufficient physical inventories in place to protect against the current shortage for our brewing operations,” a

spokesperson said. The company, known for Budweiser and Stella Artois, also owns craft beers including Goose Island, Blue Point and Four Peaks in the United States and Camden Town in Britain. Compared to independent brewers, AB Inbev will have much more clout when it comes to buying hops, potentially further reducing supply for small players. Evin O’Riordain, founder of South London’s Kernel Brewery, whose beers include six hop-heavy pale ales, called this “a worry on the horizon” but expressed hope that higher prices would encourage more farmers to grow hops. “If a hop farmer can get a better living out of growing good quality hops, then I think that’s positive,” he said.

WEATHER

Cool spring brakes EU wheat growth; outlook still positive HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — The cool, dry start to spring has slowed European Union wheat growth but crops are generally in good shape after little winter frost damage, generating optimism for a decent har vest this summer, experts said last week. Hopes for an early start to the harvest in the EU’s largest wheat producer France have all but gone after the cool spring. After running far ahead of usual, French wheat development has returned to more normal rates.

Observers expect France’s crop to be lower than the record 41 million tonnes last year. But with a rise in sown area and good weather this summer, the harvest could still be large. French wheat is lush and high, making the crop outlook promising at this stage, said Philippe Gate of French technical institute Arvalis. But Gate stressed strong concern about disease especially yellowdwarf virus, transmitted by aphids, which survived the warm winter. Yellow-dwarf can lead to crop

losses but dry and warmer weather in the coming weeks would reduce potential damage, he said. In the second largest producer Germany, wheat came through very cold weather in past weeks without damage but crop development is now sometimes behind the average, farm cooperatives said. German farmers planted less wheat and more rapeseed than previously thought, and the 2016 wheat crop will fall 3.7 percent on the year to 25.57 million tonnes,

co-operatives forecast. But Britain’s wheat is in reasonable shape with development around normal and sown area seen little changed from last season. “Given average conditions from now on, we would expect a similar size crop to last year,” said analyst Susan Twining of crop consultants ADAS. Britain had a wheat crop of 16.4 million tonnes last year. “I think the soil moisture deficits are among the lowest we have had at this time of year which will help keep the crop growing if we go into

a dry spell,” she said. In the fourth largest producer Poland, wheat suffered from recent dryness following early winter damage from deep frosts. Poland’s crop will fall about eight percent from 2015 to around 11 million tonnes, said Wojtek Sabaranski of analysts Sparks Polska. “The second half of May is forecast to be rainy, so this may bring some relief to the crops, especially in the north,” Sabaranski said. “If realized, the crop would still be decent.”

HOPS PRODUCTION

Hops producer aims high in B.C.’s interior The 240 acre operation on First Nations land near Kamloops is expected to be Canada’s largest hops farm BY TOM WALKER FREELANCE WRITER

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A dry patch of river bench land on the outskirts of Kamloops is being turned into Canada’s largest hop farm. “This used to be a horse pasture,” said Ian Matthews, operations manager for Hops Canada. The 240 acres of TK’emlups Indian Band land stretches nearly two kilometres along the North Thompson River. Matthews has been leading a crew of mostly First Nations workers who have finished installing the last of 7,000 spruce poles to hold up a wire trellis system that will support the rapidly sprouting hop plants. The field looks like a giant pincushion. “I think there is about two million feet of wire up there,” said Matthews. T h e c re w h a s a l s o l a i d 1 6 0 kilometres of drip irrigation just under the ground. “I would expect that this is the largest drip irrigation system in the Okanagan,” he said. Ho p s Ca na d a f o u n d e r Jo e y Bedard said he was looking for a site where he could develop a larger operation that would take advantage of economies of scale. “Farmers on the Prairies work large areas of land to their advantage,” said Bedard. “But here in B.C., and to a lesser extent in Ontario, farming is often on a smaller scale.” He said it’s a problem for hop farmers because capital costs are high for the infrastructure and the picking, processing and packaging equipment. “I owned Hops Canada, which is a hops brokerage business,” said Bedard. “We had about $1 million in sales buying hops from other growers. I can contract out five years in the hop world. Things were going good.” Bedard said the company also has a 20 acre farm in Ontario. “It just made sense that the next step was to grow to supplement what we are buying,” he said. “I approached the band to do just a lease, and part of the lease agreement is that they want to see your business plan.… And at that point they wouldn’t let me lease. They bought me out, and I formed a partnership with the Kamloops Indian Band. So I own 33 percent of the farm and brokerage, and the band owns 66 percent.” He said the business is being developed to be profitable at $4.75 a pound. Regular hops average $8 to $10 a pound with premium varieties going for more than $21.

Operations manager Ian Matthews, left, and Hops Canada founder Joey Bedard visit the 240 acre farm outside of Kamloops on Tk’emlups Indian Band land. | TOM WALKER PHOTO “But you can’t build a business plan on $20 forever.” Bedard plans to sell more than $2 million in hops this year, most of which will be imported from the northwestern United States. “So we have the advantage that when our fields are ready we have the whole distribution set up already.” Hop growers in Washington state have captured much of the large craft beer brewery market in North America, he said. “You could sell hops all day long in B.C. right now, but they would be smaller guys who are going to open and close,” he said. “We could be driving all around B.C. for the $ 20,000 customers. It’s hard to base a $6 million project on that.” Instead, he is setting his sights on the overseas market. “What we have noticed, and where I have put a lot of my marketing effort into the last couple of years, is that places like India and South Africa are just getting into the craft beer market,” he said. “I think 80 percent of our sales are going to be out of the country and 20 percent domestic.”

HOPS PRODUCTION

Hops production migrates from Fraser Valley BY TOM WALKER FREELANCE WRITER

KAMLO OPS, B.C . — British Columbia’s Fraser Valley was a major hop growing region up until the 1970s. However, growers left the area around Chilliwack because many of the sites were not suitable, said Ian Matthews, production manager at Hops Canada near Kamloops. Several Fraser Valley growers moved to the Yakima Valley in Washington state, which is now the largest hop growing region in the United States. Producers found similar conditions in Kamloops and came north to establish the first hop farm in the area in the 1930s. Drivers on the Trans-Canada Highway just east of Kamloops will pass an abandoned tin-clad building that was once a large hop processing plant. Molsons grew hops on the sur-

rounding land until the 1970s. “Hops like lots of water, but they don’t like to get their feet wet.” Matthews said. “The sandy loam soil here is ideal for hops.” Hops Canada planted and harvested 65 acres last year and expanded to 220 acres this spring. A rhizome starts the perennial plant, which can produce for more than 20 years. A cord suspended from overhead wires trains the quick sprouting vine to grow up to six metres high. Harvest starts in August and can

continue until October. The entire plant is cut off at ground level and at the support wire. The cones are stripped and separated from the leaves at a central facility and then kiln dried and packaged in bales to be held in cold storage. Further processing grinds the hops and forms them into pellets. Brewers add the pelleted hops to beer for flavour, aroma and bitterness. The United States pulled ahead of Germany last year to lead in world hop production with more than 45,000 acres producing more than 36,000 tonnes, according to the International Hop Growers Convention. China, the Czech Republic and Poland round out the top 5. B.C. leads Quebec and Ontario in Canada with some acreage also planted in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and Alberta.

FLOOD MITIGATION

Flood control reservoir in Alberta continues to irk residents BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Twenty families continue to fight an Alberta government plan to build a reservoir on their land to control flooding in Calgary. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is reviewing

the Springbank off-stream reservoir project, which would be located west of the city. A public comment period is open until May 30. The project covers 6,000 acres and was first proposed in 2013 after southern Alberta suffered nearly $6 billion in flood damage because of torrential rain and snow melt that overflowed

the Elbow and Bow rivers. The environmental review is expected to take at least 12 months, said Manon Plante of the Alberta government. The project’s size and cost concern local residents whose homes may be lost. A local committee comprising five representatives of the affected

families meets weekly to gather information and plot strategy. “It has been a tough year for the group,” said Ryan Robinson of Don’t Damn Springbank. They hoped the NDP government would scrap the project, but instead it said last October that it was the best flood control option. The previ-

ous Conservative government had also approved the project. Land must be expropr iated before construction starts. “As of right now, they are forging ahead with this purchase of 6,800 acres of private land,” Robinson said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CROP PROTECTION

Pea leaf weevil strikes southern Alta. A mild winter helped the pest survive the winter, and an early and warm spring gave it an extra boost BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Southern Alberta is suffering through the worst pea leaf weevil outbreak in its history. “It’s the number one insect concern for growers of peas and fababeans. This year we seem to have the worst outbreak that I have seen in the last 10 or 15 years, since they have become an issue,” said Héctor Cárcamo, an insect pest researcher with Agriculture Canada. The pest was abundant in southern Alberta fields last fall, and a mild winter led to high overwinter survival rates. “Last year we had an experiment where we needed to collect weevils by sweeping in alfalfa,” Cárcamo said. “Four of us collected about 10,000 weevils in about an hour or two.” This year’s warm and early spring also contributed to the high pest pressure. Adult pea leaf weevils usually overwinter in alfalfa, shelter belts and field margins. The early spring allowed alfalfa to regrow quickly, which provided early food for the pest. Weevils then migrate into pea or fababean fields and can attack the emerging crops in high numbers. The larvae, which attack root nodules, usually cause most of the damage to pea and fababean crops, but this year it’s the adults that are causing significant damage. “Because of the high densities of weevils, they are feeding on the plants when they are very small, so they are threatening the establishment of the crop,” Cárcamo said. “We don’t know for sure if they will kill the plants and reduce the stand density, which could have a measured effect on yield, but growers are not taking the chance, and they are spraying quite commonly for it.” It’s not common for the pea leaf weevil to kill an entire plant and threaten establishment of the stand. “Plants can typically withstand 50 percent of defoliation,” he said. “Once the plants lose more than 50 percent of the foliage, then they probably will be compromised. If

they only lose 20 percent, that should not be an issue.” Seed treatments are the most effective control for pea leaf weevil, but they kill only 30 percent of the adults. However, Cárcamo said the insecticides also affect egg laying behaviour and the larvae, so the cumulative effects do provide crop protection, especially with high insect density. However ,even seed treated crops have well exceeded the plant damage threshold, and growers in southern Alberta are applying foliar pesticides to control the weevil. “The threshold is three plants out of 10 showing damage on the clam leaf of

peas, and I think it’s common to find more than 90 percent of clams with damage in most fields that were planted, early especially,” he said. “That’s what we saw. We have a study with fababeans, which is also a favourite food for this insect, and we have probably 90 percent of the seedlings damaged.” Growers need to closely monitor their pea and fababean crops after they are sprayed because

weevils do not come out of overwintering at the same time and can re-invade crops. “I also like to remind growers that, when they

spray insect i c i d e s, t h e y a l s o remove potentially useful predators and other beneficial insects or arthropods from their fields. Repeated and continued use of insecticides is known to result in resurgence of other pests that were kept in check by those beneficial natural enemies,” Carcamo said. He said another alternative is to supplement the crop stand with nitrogen during the seedling stage to prevent yield

losses. A nitrogen application can offset the loss of nitrogen-producing nodules in pea and fababean roots, but the economic returns need to be considered, given input prices. Pea leaf weevils are difficult to find b e c au s e t h e y p l ay dead and fall on the g r o u n d w h e n approached. However, if the person who is scouting stays quiet for a minute, the weevils will again start walking around on the plant and become visible. G row e r s s h o u l d instead look for damage on the plant leaf when assessing pressure. Look at 10 adjacent seedlings in 10 spots on the field, count what proportion of the seedlings had damage on the clam leaf and then

calculate the average damage for the 10 sites. Select five areas on the edge of the field and five spots at least 30 metres into the field. “There is a difference in the level of damage along the border and inside,” Cárcamo said. “Sometimes you can get away with just spraying the borders of the field.” Field peas should be monitored from the second to fifth node growth stages. Plants are less vulnerable to both larval damage and defoliation after the sixth node stage. Scott Hartley, Saskatchewan’s pest management specialist, said there have been reports of high levels of pea leaf weevil pressure in southwestern Saskatchewan. “It’s safe to say some areas have had some very high feeding, but we are still getting data on where the highest pressure is,” Hartley said. The trouble zone in Saskatchewan starts midway between Moose Jaw and Swift Current and extends west to the Alberta border and as far north as Kindersley and Outlook. Hartley said growers’ level of concern depends on the growth stage of their crop because plants can outgrow damage once they are past the six node stage. Many pea crops in southwestern Saskatchewan are at or approaching this stage, he added. robin.booker@producer.com

PESTS

Seed treatments good way to fight flea beetles Producers are urged to watch their canola fields closely but not to be too afraid of some feeding, which is necessary BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Flea beetles account for more than $250 million annually in crop damage on the Prairies, despite farmers’ best efforts to control them. And with the mild winter and warm spring, farmers might want to be extra vigilant. Scott Hartley, Saskatchewan Agriculture entomologist, said he is not surprised to see beetle movement already because last year had high populations. “They overwinter as adults, so with a good mild spring like what we’ve had, mild, dry, it would be favourable for them.” Flea beetle adults and larvae feed on canola. Damage is most prevalent during the initial three weeks after emergence. The delicate cotyledons are prime vegetation for the insects. Once the crop reaches the three to four leaf stage, it can withstand the damage. “The seed treatments on the majority of the seeds, on all the hybrids, should be a good protectant,” said Hartley. Seed treatments provide three to four weeks of protection for canola that appear within a week of seeding. Since 2001, neonicotinoid insec-

Hartley recommends farmers start scouting their fields early. “Star t watching for feeding because with the neonics, (flea beetles) have to feed on the plant tissue in order to ingest some of the seed treatment and therefore that’s what results in the death, but they still have to feed in the first place,” he said. Keith Gabert, an agrology specialist for the Canola Council of Canada, said canola can withstand a lot of insect damage without a significant

yield impact, if it has good growing conditions and adequate soil moisture to bounce back. “Only when adult populations are extreme, and when dry conditions are hindering the crop from compensating for the damage, is a spray recommended,” he said. He also recommends scouting canola every two days, especially in the first few weeks when the crop is in emergence stages. “A diligent job of scouting, in numerous places in the field, is required because we see across the Prairies often a lot of edge effect, so the first 10 to 20 steps in the field

may be worse than the rest of the field,” said Gabert. He said some farmers might spray for insurance against flea beetles, but he advises it’s not always necessary. “Preferably, go back in a day or two just before you make that decision that you need to spray and check if you really do need to.” Foliar sprays are pricey so before buying, look for 25 percent defoliation in the field, he said. He added that farmers will see some damage because beetles have to ingest the treated seed for the insecticide to work.

Farmers should check that damage is at the 25 percent damage threshold. If the crop is sprayed before damage reaches that threshold, it can increase the risk of flea beetles developing resistance to the insecticide. With neonicotinoid treatments drawing public attention and added government regulations due to reports these may be harmful to bees, as well as increased public scrutiny of most spray chemicals, Harley recommends farmers use a variety of control measures. Integrated pest management (IPM) techniques can help cut costs and provide an alternative to pesticides alone. “IPM is using economic thresholds if you are going to consider using chemical spray, but it’s also using non-chemical controls and other strategies,” said Hartley. The best IPM techniques are using biological control agents if possible, diversifying crops, proper rotations, inter-row planting, timing of seeding, using less sensitive crop species in infected areas and using trap crops. Hartley advises that zero tolerance is not realistic and IPM practices don’t always work, but in most situations seed treatment remains a solid management choice.

THAMESVILLE, Ont. — Field crop management is expected to be much easier in southwestern Ontario with the launch of the AGGrower Daily Dashboard program, according to the agronomist leading the project. It uses an advanced system to collect and analyze weather data so that enrolled farmers can respond quickly and efficiently to what Mother Nature throws their way, said Dale Cowan, senior agronomist with Agris Co-operative, Wanstead Co-operative and Haggerty Creek Ltd. He said today’s agricultural environment means there’s usually more than one farm to be managed. In fact, fields are often kilometres apart. As a result, a farmer can rarely walk out his back door to judge how inputs and operations should be managed. “Some of the guys have 100 fields spread from Windsor to Sarnia. I’d say most of them have 20 or 25 fields to manage,” Cowan said. The program can be assessed from a smartphone or through a website. Eighty automated weather stations are being installed in a fivecounty area this year that will measure temperature, precipitation, wind speed and humidity. As well, weather data will be collected

DALE COWAN AGRONOMIST

through 500 public and volunteer sources. The $200 sign-up fee is being waived for 2016. Interested farmers within the service area, regardless of whom they do business with, can sign up. Cowan said the system helps bridge the gap between weather events and management decisions. “Anyone can track the weather,” he said. “It’s what you do about it that’s important.” The program include recommendations for herbicide, pesticide, fungicide and fertilizer applications, growth stage modelling, dry down forecasts, frost warnings and an alert system that encourages farmers to act. Fo r e x a m p l e, f a r m e r s w e re advised in the third week of May that the development of fusarium head blight in wheat was likely, Cowan said.

The program’s modelling feature also predicts the growth stage of corn, which is important because weeds are controlled at the V-4 or six-leaf stage to maintain yield potential As well, models predict when corn is likely to achieve black layer and how quickly moisture levels are likely to fall. The program also uses unmanned aerial drones with multi-specification and thermal imaging capability to collect crop information. This allows farmers to determine, through real-time nitrogen tests, how much additional nitrogen is likely to be needed to maximize their yields or if nitrogen is needed at all. Farmers can sign up fields of corn, soybeans, wheat and processing tomatoes, but additional crops may be added in the future. They need to enter the appropriate data for their fields, starting with the planting date. The program then delivers the type of information farmers need to make the most of their farming investment, Cowan said. The AGGrower website is hosted by Ontario-based Weather INnovations, which specializes in weather data and agricultural modeling. It is supported by close to $600,000 from the federal-provincial Growing Forward II program.

TACOMA TRUCK

A tale of two trucks: performance starts from the ground up GETTING AROUND

CHARLES RENNY

ever before has it been so important to pay attention to which truck package was tested when you read a review. For example, take the 2016 Toyota Tacoma. I first drove the Tacoma TRD (Toyota Racing Department) as part of a test of small trucks for the Canadian Truck King Challenge. The challenge is designed to test new trucks in a work environment, which means working with loads and while towing and looking at how the cabs are laid out for workers and private use. In this case, the Tacoma was equipped with the TRD package, which is basically a large-tired, sporty truck with lots of bells and whistles. So far so good, right? Well, 2016 is the year of major changes for the Tacoma. Not all of the changes to the interior met with my approval, but that was minor to what happened with the rest of the test. The truck was comfortable, although I found the seat cushion to be a bit short for my legs and too

Tires made all the difference between two test drives of the Toyota Tacoma. | close to the floor for my liking. My legs were stretched out a bit more than I like, and the throttle pedal was at an awkward angle. Others didn’t find this to be a problem. It was a nimble truck when empty, at home on pavement, off pavement and off road. Acceleration, thanks to a 3.5 litre, 278 horsepower V-6 and a six-speed automatic, was impressive. Of course, the Tacoma also had four-wheel drive to keep off-road sojourns interesting. However, chinks in the TRD package started to appear when the truck was hooked up to a trailer loaded to 50 percent of rated towing capacity and a tongue weight of 350 pounds. Everything was fine at city speeds, but the Tacoma started to squirm and move about a bit in the lane when the truck moved up to highway speeds on pavement. It

wasn’t enough to be dangerous but enough to be noticeable and make me uncomfortable. Then there was stopping. Stopping on pavement was attention getting because it amplified the squirm, although everything seemed normal when on gravel because I expected it to move a bit, and it did. Compared to the other trucks in class, this was most unsettling. Needless to say, the Tacoma didn’t do well at this event. Three weeks later, I was in a different Tacoma at a testing session for the Canadian Automobile Journalist’s Association of Canada’s Canadian Car and Utility Vehicle of the Year event. This time the Tacoma was a normal tired truck, and there was no loaded testing. However, there was some serious off-road testing.

TOYOTA PHOTO

I managed to put my foot well into my mouth before the testing began when I told the head engineer of the Tacoma program that the truck was a piece of (you fill in the blanks) and proceeded to tell him how poorly the truck had done at the Truck King Challenge. He was polite, but the public relations representative who was with him was aghast at my comments. I haven’t been invited to a Toyota event since. I drove a non-TRD equipped normal truck at the vehicle of the year event. The dash had the same basic shape, but it wasn’t as garish. I still didn’t like the seating position, but the truck was great on all the roads I tried, including some seriously crappy ones caused by two days of intense rainfall with small rivers flowing down the middle. I did my

session on our medium serious offroad section when the rain quit, and the end result was that the Tacoma won its class. It took me a couple of months to figure out why the Tacoma did so poorly in one testing program and so well in another. At first I thought of the methodology: loaded vs. unloaded and power train differences. Then I got to one item in the TRD package that makes a huge difference: the tires. The TRD package allows for an optional tall off-road type tire that is great for hauling a kayak, cooler and a tent through the trails to secluded camping spots while looking cool. The Tacoma equipped with regular tires looked boring, but it could do about 80 percent of the off-road stuff, plus it could do 100 percent of the towing stuff and inspire confidence while doing so. That one little tire glitch probably cost Toyota top honours at the Canadian Truck King Challenge. It would appear that someone at one of the events didn’t think to check the option sheet against what the truck was supposed to do. It was an expensive lesson for Toyota, and all I can say is I hope you all learn from it. Now I have to apologize to an engineer. His truck is pretty darn good.

Cool Ont. spring slows planting Rain and cold weather have forced some farmers to alter seeding intentions BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

GRAND BEND, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The second half of May delivered what Ontario farmers had been hoping for: warmer temperatures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many areas of southern Ontario had the coolest April for 20 years,â&#x20AC;? said Geoff Coulson, a meteorologist with Environment Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;May had also been running notably cooler than normal, up to 3 C cooler, which is a significant difference. We have now finally turned the corner on temperature â&#x20AC;Ś and that appears to be locking in.â&#x20AC;? Pat Green, who owns Market Farm Equipment, which specializes in the design and manufacture of plastic augurs, said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard from farmers across the province. She said temperatures have been on the cool side for everyone, but rainfall has varied. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been too wet near the family business north of Grand Bend, but Green said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard that most farmers a few kilometres north near Goderich and on the other side of the province near Ottawa

A 40-minute drive south outside Forest, Pete and Mary Donkers, retired hog producers, have 250 acres to plant.

Like the Donkers, Pete Bertens said untimely rain has slowed his planting intentions at his farm near Brucefield. There is far more winter wheat in Ontario this year because farmers took advantage of favourable weather last fall to plant the crop.

Most fields came out of the winter in good shape. Coulson said Environment Canada had been calling for average spring temperatures, given the mild winter. Coulson said there are indications that temperatures in Ontario will be around the seasonable average, based on records for the past 30 years. He said the latest El Nino, which is characterized by warm temperatures in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America, has weakened from its peak last fall.

PRODUCTION BRIEFS WEATHER

Strongest El Nino in nearly 20 years SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The strongest El Nino in nearly 20 years, which damaged crop production in Asia and in the Southern Hemisphere, has ended, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said. Climate indicators associated with El Nino, which emerged in 2015, have now returned to neutral levels, the BOM said. The latest El Nino resulted in sea temperatures rising to the highest levels in 19 years, causing drier than average weather in Asia and Australia, which resulted in a fall in production of wheat, palm oil and rice. In the Northern Hemisphere, the event failed to live up expectations and did not deliver enough rainfall to alleviate the crippling drought in California. On the Canadian Prairies, El Nino brought one of the warmest winters on record. GENETIC MODIFICATION

China may cultivate pest resistant corn BEIJING, China (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; China, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest corn consumer, may allow commercial cultivation of pest-resistant genetically modified corn within the next five years, said an agriculture ministry official recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will push forward the com-

mercial process of new strains of pest-resistant cotton and pestresistant corn among other key crops,â&#x20AC;? during the 13th Five Year Plan (2016-2020), Liao Xiyuan, a department director with the ministry told a press conference. For staple grains rice and wheat, the country will focus on research and efforts to be the global leader in GM rice technology rather than commercial growing, said Liao. Beijing has delayed commercial cultivation of its own GM corn and rice even after it gave safety approval in 2009 due to public concern over the safety of the technology. SEEDING PLANS

India expected to plant fewer soybeans MUMBAI, India (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Indian farmers are set to seed fewer soybeans in response to falling prices. Soybean is the main summerseeded oilseed crop for the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest importer of edible oil, but prices have dropped 10 percent in the past two years, while the prices of pulses such as red gram have nearly tripled over the same period. Estimates say area seeded to soybeans could fall 10 percent as a result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last two-three years soybeans have given lower returns than competing crops like pulses,â&#x20AC;? said K. N. Rahiman, chief research officer at Ruchi Soya, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest edible oil refiner. Farmers planted 28.60 million acres with soybean in 2015-16.

B.C. LAND CLAIMS

Tenants feel ignored in land settlements Ranchers with grazing tenures have received conflicting information from First Nations bands BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

PENTICTON, B.C. — Settling First Nations land claims in British Columbia is rife with controversy and uncertainty, especially for sitting tenants who rely on grazing leases or resource extraction to make a living. “It is an emotional issue for many of you, and many of you are potentially going to be impacted,” said Grant Huffman, chair of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association’s aboriginal affairs committee. “We don’t know how that might be.… It is quite easy for those in the west end of Vancouver to be ver y benevolent and understanding of the issues, but directly they are not affected.” Land settlement negotiations have been underway for years, and some are reaching completion. However, cattle producer and resource groups have not been invited to the discussions. “We will not be at the table, but we will hopefully be listened to at some level,” Huffman told the BCCA’s annual meeting held in Penticton May 26-28. “To date, that has been well carried out. The current government is aware of our displeasure.” Members passed a resolution asking for ranchers and other groups that use the land to be represented during negotiations so that their interests and concerns are heard. “Our government, our constitution and our senior court has all made it very evident to us, that things are going to happen, whether some of you like it or you don’t,” Huffman said. Ranchers need to prepare for change because some could lose provincial grazing tenures on crown owned land. The government has indicated it may provide a third party liaison to work with those who are affected. Northern Shuswap treaty negotiations could have a significant impact because there are a large number of grazing tenures in the region. “The northern Shuswap treaty talks are the beginning and could be a model for how this is going to follow along,” Huffman said. Negotiators for Canada, B.C. and the Northern Shuswap First Nations reached an agreement in

principle last year that outlined how a final treaty would look, but no information has been released. Provincial negotiators are not prepared at this time to discuss mitigation options or compensation. Huffman estimates 57 tenure holders have land in the area and could be affected. Bev Madley of the Chilcotin Stockmen’s Association has had first-hand experience with land claims and is not sure how her ranch might come through this. Six bands in her area are negotiating settlements. “All of us who have tenures on crown land should be able to make some comment into these negotiations, but they were held strictly in a confidential environment,” she said. Long-time tenures could be lost or leases may not be extended while the First Nations and government negotiate. Some bands have said future agreements would continue, while others have said the tenure holders must leave First Nations land. “The chiefs say one thing but the people they represent say another, so we don’t know what the hell is going on,” Madley said. Her family wants to pass the ranch to the next generation, but there is little to transfer if the grazing tenures are lost. Private land is often attached to the leases to form a larger ranching operation. Leaseholders have been allowed to fence the land and develop water sources, and that investment could be lost. “Private land is not enough to do what we do now. We need crown land to carry on,” she said. There are 203 bands in B.C., of which 104 are involved at some level in the treaty process. The other 99 bands may never get involved. However, some accords are more like conciliatory agreements. If these types of agreements succeed, the BCCA hopes they could become a good model for the remaining bands not involved in the treaty process.

CATTLE SALE

Stellar year for bull prices, sales BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Spending big dollars on a bull can be a sound investment, and this spring ’s bull sale results showed a willingness to pay across all breeds. Auctioneer and sales manager Chris Poley of T Bar C Cattle Co. markets a half dozen breeds and saw impressive results across the board.

This spring there were more bulls over $100,000 than I ever heard of in my life. CHRIS POLEY T BAR C CATTLE CO.

“This spring there were more bulls over $100,000 than I ever heard of in my life,” he said. “These kinds of bulls don’t come around every year in a program.” No record prices were paid, but sales averages were steady with 2015, another stellar year. Most of the bulls went to other breeders or genetics companies. There was also strong commercial interest, and although privately run bull sales led out bulls that fetched five and six figures, there was also a good offering of affordable cattle. Market cattle prices have waned

from last year’s records, but more commercial operators were willing to spend and upgrade their bull batteries this year. Poley said 95 percent of bulls probably go to commercial herds because buying better herd sires improves next year’s calf crop. He sold the high seller at Wheatland Cattle Company’s annual bull sale at Bienfait, Sask. “That is one program that consistently has the high selling sale for Simmentals in Canada,” he said. The sale at the family operation owned by Vernon, Denise, Riley and Cody-Ray Lafrentz offered 30 Simmental bulls that averaged $19,833. Wheatland Kill Switch 598C, a red purebred, could be Canada’s top bull price for 2016 at $210,000. The bull was bought by Curtis Simmentals of Bethune, Sask., and a semen syndicate was formed to take advantage of its genetic package. Kill Switch was a home raised bull, and its sire was Wheatland Circuit Breaker. The farm bought the dam from Texas, and this was its first bull calf. Vernon Lafrentz described Kill Switch as “lots of bull,” which was muscular and phenotypically sound with good conformation and testicles. “He was always a stand-out calf,” he said. They did not keep him in their own herd because they already had

OTHER HIGH SELLERS THIS SEASON INCLUDED: • Lewis Farms of Spruce Grove, Alta., sold a Simmental bull for $150,000. • Westway Farms of Didsbury, Alta., sold a Simmental bull for $135,000. • Double Bar D Farms owned by Richard and Ken Dimler of Grenfell, Sask., sold a Simmental bull for $130,000. • Sparrow Farms of Vanscoy, Sask., sold a Charolais bull that fetched $107,000. • Darren and Joanne Unger, owners of U-2 Ranch at Coaldale, Alta., sold a red Angus bull for $103,000. bulls of similar breeding “A bull of that caliber has to get out,” he said. They have run their own bull sales for more than 10 years. Every spring there are dozens of sales representing all breeds and a variety of genetic programs. Lafrentz believes their bloodlines set them apart. “Our pedigrees are fairly unique, and it is not everywhere you can buy the pedigrees we have,” he said. They do not offer a female sale in the fall and keep their own replacements in the herd. “To access the pedigrees, they have to buy the bulls,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ANIMAL HEALTH

Horse lift focuses on more humane treatment The computerized system ‘weight compensates’ so that the animal can ‘weigh less’ and be more comfortable BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan veterinary college are hoping to give animal rehabilitation a big lift. The Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) and Saskatoon-based RMD Engineering, are creating a more effective and humane lifting device It’s called the animal rehabilitation management system (ARMS) and it’s designed especially for horses. Julia Montgomery, research supervisor at the large animal clinic at WCVM, said the lift should prove more comfortable for horses. “What really makes ARMS special is that it’s a computerized lifting device, so it doesn’t mechanically lift the animal, but it will what we call weight compensate so it will take up a certain amount of the animal’s body weight so that the horse can basically weigh less.” Montgomery, who has a PhD in equine immunology, said when horses have an injured leg, they will often shift weight loads to their healthy legs. The can cause supporting limb laminitis, a disease of the connective tissue around the hoof and coffin bone. When a horse increases its weight to the area, it can restrict blood flow and deplete essential nutrients. That can cause tearing of the support structure and sinking of the pedal bone. The initial lift system tests included two healthy horses over five days. The horses were suspended in an Anderson Sling designed to lift large animals, while researchers monitored behaviour patterns and pressure sores, and tested for blood flow and muscle enzymes. They found heart rates were stable and muscle enzymes and blood flow to the foot were not affected. However, the horses displayed increased respiratory rates and negative emotional associations with the sling as they spent more

time in the harness. “I am very excited about the progress we have made so far. We have certainly encountered some challenges and the next step is a better harness. We can only use this technology to its full potential if we pair it with a harness that we can do that with,” said Montgomery. Montgomery and her team are also in the midst of creating a new sling. The new sling looks like a horse blanket and will be one complete piece. It also requires only one researcher to place it on the horse and allows for more mobility. The Anderson Sling was helpful in the developing stages of the project, but not ideal for the long term, said Montgomery. Its main pick up point is under the abdomen and the new prototype will focus around the limbs. “Based on our findings we designed the harness in a way that we think would work better. It’s really going to be more like a harness than a sling so it will be quite different” Montgomery said.

Jim Boire, president of RMD Engineering, runs research and development for the company. Together, the team of engineers and veterinary specialists have brought in many other changes to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation techniques in animal medicine. They modernized the bovine tilt table at the college and manufactured the large animal positioning system for the Canadian Light Source synchrotron also located at the university. “When you think that you’re building something that eventually would stop horses from having to be put down, you’re making a difference,” said Boire. The WCVM eventually plans to use the new lift on client animals but for now it remains in testing. “ (It) will be used on client owned animals but before we get to that point we want to make sure that its safe and we’re comfortable using it,” said Montgomery. In addition to her work with the ARMS lift Montgomery is being

SHEEP

Sheep producers happy with average results at ram sale BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Organizers of the annual Pound Maker ram sale in southern Alberta may have to change the name of the event to the Rain Maker ram sale. It rains almost every year on the day of the sale, and on May 19, the rain was particularly welcome as the first measurable precipitation in the area this spring. Six consigners had 109 rams on offer from eight breeds. The overall sale average was $993 for the 10th annual sale, which was $13 less than last year’s average. Sale organizer and consigner Warren Moore said ram longevity has become a factor for sales. “I was talking to the producers later and they said that they would have bought more rams — and this is good and bad for us — but our rams are living too long and they’re

able to get an extra year or two out of them,” said Moore. “They’re just lasting longer than most rams, so that’s good.” This year’s event broke the record for high-seller at $3,400 for one ram and $2,400 for its pen mate. The previous record was $1,800. “Our highs were higher and our lows were lower, but at the end of the day we’re right where we have been for the last few years,” said Moore. The sale was particularly hot for Ile de France rams. The nine on offer averaged $1,633. Nine Dorsets averaged $1,200, and 65 Suffolks averaged $923. Two Charollais averaged $900, the 12 Rambouillet averaged $815, and the three Hampshires averaged $850. Eight North Country Cheviots averaged $733, and one coloured sheep sold for $750. barb.glen@producer.com

EQUINE DISEASE

Horse owner devastated by swamp fever cases Tests confirmed 10 animals were carriers and had to be euthanized BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Swamp fever struck hard April 27 near Meadow Lake, Sask., and Tricia Kroeker faced the wrenching task of euthanizing 10 of her horses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year was every horse ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst nightmare,â&#x20AC;? said Kroeker. Her herd underwent Coggins testing after a horse sold from her farm last fall tested positive for equine infectious anemia (EIA), also known as swamp fever. Kroeker tests frequently, but she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate the dire results. There were no signs to suggest any of her horses, let alone so many, were affected. However, absence of symptoms is common when horses test positive for EIA. Kroeker is waiting for her remaining horses to return home. They are under precautionary quarantine i m p o s e d b y C a n a d i a n Fo o d Inspection Agency regulations. The CFIA is responsible for response and recovery of all positive EIA cases and can also investigate, euthanize and provide compensation. EIA is an incurable viral equine disease, and there is no vaccine to prevent it. It is transmitted through blood, milk and bodily secretions.

Blood sucking insects are the usual method of transmission. A horse fly or deer fly can hold the virus up to four hours and pass it horse to horse. A horse becomes a carrier for life once it contracts EIA and can put others at risk. It manifests in three types: acute, subacute and chronic. Most horses remain asymptomatic, but others will suffer from fever, anemia, jaundice and swelling of the underside and legs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want mandatory testing because if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t screen all the owned horses, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never going to get it under control,â&#x20AC;? Kroeker said. The CFIA keeps track of all cases and reports a downward trend in Western Canada since 2011. Saskatchewan fell from 102 of 179 western Canadian cases in 2011 to 31 of 80 cases in 2015. The Saskatchewan Horse Federation believes testing is the best way to keep the disease from spreading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will never be eradicated, but it can be brought more under control,â&#x20AC;? said chair Doug Howe. The federation passed a motion in March to require mandatory EIA testing of all horses that attend SHF-sanctioned events, effective Jan. 1, 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mandate of our membership, and our job as the board of

directors is to implement it to the best of our ability, and we will be working at that,â&#x20AC;? said Howe. The SHF also developed education seminars about EIA, and five have been held. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are as aggressive as we can be and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ongoing, because we need the manpower and finances to do that. It was a big drive to bring it to the forefront,â&#x20AC;? he said. Howe and Kroeker said they would also like more CFIA involvement. The EIA control program is part voluntary testing by the industry and part veterinarian response through the CFIA. The first EIA control program began in 1972, and the level of government involvement has varied since then. Dr. Leroy Coggins developed the first reliable test in the 1970s, which could identify carriers. The Coggins test is still used today and can determine if EIA antibodies are present. C-ELISA (competitive enzymelinked immunoabsorbent assay) is a newer test, but it has reported false-positive outcomes. In Canada, a positive c-ELISA result is confirmed using a standard Coggins test. Owners are issued a negative EIA test certificate once the results are

FOR MORE INFORMATION in and positive tests are reported to CFIA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need to understand that not testing turns your horses into Schrodingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cat; they are simultaneously alive and dead. People are scared of what they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand,â&#x20AC;? said Kroeker. She attended one of SHFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education seminars and urges horse owners to get more involved. Lack of knowledge has dire consequences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be an animal welfare thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a basic medical necessity,â&#x20AC;? Kroeker said.

VACCINE EFFICACY

Vaccinating young calves: what works, what may not ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

etting a young beef or dairy ca l f o f f t o a g o o d s t a r t always involves ensuring adequate colostral intake. The calf has few antibodies in its blood stream at birth, and this first milk contains large quantities of antibodies from the dam. These antibodies are absorbed by the calf and provide important maternal immunity for the first few months of life. We also try to help that immunity by vaccinating the cow with vaccines against scours. The cow will pass specific antibodies to the calf and make it less likely for it to succumb to diarrhea. A large volume of research demonstrates that calves with less than adequate colostrum intake are more likely to become sick, die or weigh less at weaning and fail to reach their growth potential. Vaccinating the calf is another way to provide specific immunity. There are a lot of unknowns about how newborn or very young calves respond to vaccines, but we do know that the newborn calf has a

functional immune system. It begins to develop in the fetus as early as 40 days into gestation, and by the third trimester it can respond to a variety of infections. However, most calves are born with no antibodies in their blood stream, and although their immune cells function at a slower rate, the immune system is completely functional. We also have evidence that nutrition can play a role in immune response. Calves can have lowered immunity and be more likely to become sick or die if they have severe or chronic deficiencies in a variety of trace minerals and vitamins or if they are fed diets that are deficient in energy or protein. We think the immune system can recover quickly if the deficiency is corrected early, but more research is needed to explore the interaction between nutrition and immunity. Vitamin E is a common deficiency in calves in Western Canada, which has been associated with outbreaks of neonatal death in some herds. We have traditionally assumed that calves would not respond well to vaccinations if they had high levels of maternal antibodies in their system from colostrum. These maternal antibodies were expected to “bind up” the vaccine and prevent the immune system from responding to it. However, studies have now

body levels in the calf. Vaccinating young calves can also influence other aspects of immunity, which are not as obvious as antibody levels and have a positive effect. Several vaccine companies are now marketing intranasal vaccines for some respiratory viruses. They may be superior to injectable vaccines for young calves with maternal antibodies present, but more research is needed. Clinical field trials are the best way to answer questions about vaccine efficacy, but they are more likely to be performed in large dairy operations than beef cowcalf herds. We still have lots of questions about immunity in young calves and how they respond to vaccines, particularly in calves younger than one month. These young calves

may respond better to intranasal vaccination, but we need more information on the factors that limit vaccine efficacy. However, the immunity from intranasal vaccines may not last as long, and we are fairly certain that calves are more likely than adults to require booster vaccinations. These boosters are usually given two to four weeks after the initial vaccination, but this may not always be practical in some herds. Most producers are adequately vaccinating young calves for clostridial disease, but respiratory disease is the other major risk. These outbreaks tend to occur at six to eight weeks of age, which means vaccines will have to be administered at least one month before disease occurrence. This may necessitate vaccinating young calves that have high concentrations of maternal antibodies. It would probably be ideal in high risk situations to provide at least one booster vaccination after the initial vaccination and before the greatest risk of disease occurrence. In these situations, veterinarians may have to ask producers to use vaccines in calves as young as a few weeks of age. We know that pre-weaned calves can respond to vaccines as early as the first day of life, but the response is probably better in calves one month old or greater. Calves respond to vaccines in a similar fashion as adult animals once they are five to eight months old. Intranasal vaccines have shown advantages when vaccinating young calves and should be considered as part of a herd’s vaccine protocol. Vaccine programs should be developed in consultation with a herd veterinarian, who can provide detailed information on the timing of necessary vaccinations.

The Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers building, built in 1945, doesn’t owe much to its tenants. The wool growers have occupied their current Lethbridge location since 1950, when wool was delivered in one-ton trucks and railcars and left the same way. The city grew up around the building on First Avenue South, making modern access by semitrailer difficult, and the rail siding is long gone. Now, the co-op has plans for a new building in the business park south of the city with easy access and more space. “We’re pretty excited about it,” branch manager Brian Shaw said about the 14,000 sq. foot building soon to be under construction. The 1.3 acre site will allow more room for parking, warehouse, retail and office space. Shaw said he will miss the 10,000 sq. foot building in some ways. It

tended to elicit reminiscences from visitors who now deliver wool to the same place their grandfathers did. “We’re not going to hear those stories,” said Shaw. On the other hand, neither he nor his aging knees will miss the stairs. The new building will be on one level with easier access for customers and more display space for retailers who provide products vital to sheep and wool production. “People will be able to see stuff better. It’s just going to make it safer and a better experience,” said Shaw. “We will have considerably more room for our wool and for more bagged feed and some other things.” The current building has been sold and will likely be renovated. The new building, to be developed by Southwest Design and Construction of Lethbridge, is set to be ready by Christmas. barb.glen@producer.com

DISEASE RESEARCH

Prion proteins continue to baffle researchers Not knowing how the transmissible disease starts inhibits treatment BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — Scientists are continuing to unravel the mystery of fatal prion diseases. “Prions induce fear, and a lot of the reaction comes from a fear-based response because we know in the case of mad cow disease, that has been transmissible to humans,” said Valerie Sim, a neurologist at the University of Alberta’s centre for prions and protein folding diseases. Figuring out what kind of disease can be caused sporadically, genetically or acquired remains the great puzzle for researchers. They have learned a great deal about misfolded proteins yet continue to struggle with the basics of how transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) start. Scrapie was the first prion related disease noted in livestock. It was thought to be a slow virus with no clear immune response. Infected animals suffer from excessive itching and start to lose their wool. Cases of kuru, another TSE, occurred among some tribes in Papua New Guinea who practiced cannibalism when they ate the brains of dead people as part of a funeral ritual. They no longer do this, but cases continued for years after because the disease has a long incubation period. Kuru puzzled scientists until a scientist noticed that an infected brain that was part of a travelling exhibit had holes similar to what is seen in sheep with scrapie. “It was unclear how it was spreading in that community until a comparison was made in the pathology of the brain from these patients,” Sim told an infectious disease conference at the U of A. BSE can occur sporadically, but it was a disaster when it was discovered in Great Britain more than 25 years ago. Two million cattle were infected after eating protein supplements containing ruminant byproducts. People eating contaminated beef were eventually infected, and 229 worldwide have died of a variant form of Creutzfeld Jacob Disease (CJD). Chronic wasting disease in deer and elk is appearing with greater frequency in Alberta and Saskatchewan. It seems to be spread into the environment through urine, saliva and feces. “There is no evidence it causes disease in humans, but time will tell,” Sim said. “It takes a significant dose to cross the species barrier.” The average time to death after onset of symptoms is four months in people who develop CJD. The patient experiences balance problems, hallucinations, blindness, progressive dementia and eventually cannot move or speak. It is rare and peaks in the sixth decade of life. Most cases are sporadic with no clear cause, while 10 percent are genetic and less than one percent is acquired. Researchers have learned that a normal prion protein is expressed throughout the body. “We don’t really know what it does, but it may have some neuroprotection or protection against oxidative stress,” Sim said. “It may act like a grand facilitator, helping

other molecules function well.” A prion protein that misfolds converts other naturally occurring prion proteins and eventually spreads to the brain. “What does it look like? We don’t know. It is a difficult protein to study,” said Sim. It appears that a TSE-associated prion has a different conformation, so new therapy approaches are aimed at inhibiting conversion. Each of these conformation changes are complex, and there are different prion strains. A combination of therapies may be needed, but there is not much time to intervene once it is diag-

nosed, and treatment may do more harm than good. A promising treatment is finding a way to stop the bad prions from binding to normal ones, said Sabine Gilch of the University of Calgary’s faculty of veterinary medicine. One way is to use peptide aptamers that bind to target molecules, but the experiments are in the early stages, she told the Alberta Innovates conference in Edmonton. Such an approach could be used to treat Alzheimer’s disease by stopping the death of brain cells. “To deliver those substances into the brain is not so easy,” she said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

HEMP PROCESSING

NAME BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

GILBERT PLAINS, Man. — It’s taken six years and more than $5 million in taxpayer dollars, but a hemp processing plant in Manitoba’s Parkland region may soon open its doors for business. “I think now it’s on the right track,” said Blake Price, Reeve for the rural municipality of Gilbert Plains. “They (the owners) would be disappointed if it’s not up and going by 2017.” In the spring of 2010 the federal a n d Ma n i t o b a g ov e r n m e n t s announced $5.3 million in funding for Plains Industrial Hemp Processing, a company with plans to process hemp fibre for textiles, building materials, animal bedding and other products. The bulk of the funding came from the federal government, which contributed $4.775 million. Robert Jin, a Chinese businessman with experience in the textile industry and president of Plains Industrial Hemp Processing, predicted in 2010 that the plant would open shortly. “The financial contribution towards this project will enable my

company to complete the purchase of equipment and construct the processing facility in Gilbert Plains,” Jin said. “This project is important as well so we can export Manitoba hemp fibre around the world. I am very happy about the progress of the project and look forward to the start-up of the facility.” The plant’s official opening has been delayed, many times, because of issues with machinery imported from China and failures to satisfy Canadian construction standards. “There was an electrical issue…. There were some wiring issues that weren’t up to code. They had to go back in and re-wire most of the plant at a very high cost,” Price said, noting the company decided in December to upgrade the wiring.

“They’re well on the way to doing that. This is a guess, but I’d say they’re somewhere in that 75 percent completion…. Structurally, there’s a few dust and smoke proofing issues that have to be addressed. They are reasonably minor (matters) and they (the owners) are moving forward on those.” In late May three electricians were working at the Plains Industrial Hemp Processing plant. There were machines inside the main building at the site, which also has a storage shed for hemp bales and another structure that may be a maintenance building. Round hemp bales were stacked by the highway, next to federal and provincial government signs promoting the project. Much older bales were stacked behind the main building and inside the stor-

age shed. Overall the site was reasonably tidy. There were a few spots where weeds have taken over but it didn’t look completely abandoned. The plant may not be open but the company’s website is up and running. The website says the firm sells a number of products under the Plains Hemp brand, including matting, insulation, BBQ pellets and “technical grade quality hemp fibres and hurd for use in nonwoven applications, biocomposites (and) green building materials.” When operational, the plant will process up to 40,000 hemp bales per year and may eventually employ about 30 people. Price said residents of Gilbert Plains, a community of about 750 people, have been waiting a long time for the plant to open. Consequently, many have become cynical about its future. “Frustrating? Probably more disappointing…. It hasn’t caused the community a lot of issues other then ‘is this actually for real?’ Is it every going to happen?’” robert.arnason@producer.com

Monsanto rejects Bayer’s take-over bid Company says it is still willing to talk, but market analysts question whether Bayer can justify raising its proposed price (Reuters) — Monsanto Co., the world’s largest seed company, has turned down Bayer AG’s $62 billion acquisition bid as “incomplete and financially inadequate” but said it was open to engage further in negotiations. Monsanto’s decision puts pressure on Bayer to decide whether to raise its bid, even as the company faces criticism from some shareholders that its $122 per share cash offer is already too high. Monsanto shares initially rose following the official take-over bid announcement May 23 but then drifted lower over the week and were trading at a little less than $109 late May 27. Monsanto shares were trading at less than $100 before rumours began in mid-May of Bayer making a bid. “We believe in the substantial benefits an integrated strategy could provide to growers and broader society, and we have long respected Bayer ’s business,”

Monsanto chief executive officer Hugh Grant said in a statement. “However, the current proposal significantly undervalues our company and also does not adequately address or provide reassurance for some of the potential financing and regulatory execution risks related to the acquisition.” Bayer responded that its $122 per share offer represents “full and certain value” for Monsanto shareholders, but that it looks forward to engaging in constructive discussions with Monsanto. “We are confident that we can address any potential financing or regulatory matters related to the transaction,” Bayer CEO Werner Baumann said in a statement. “Bayer remains committed to working together to complete this mutually compelling transaction.” It w a s n o t c l e a r w hat p r i c e Monsanto would be willing to sell for, but several analysts have sug-

$122 IS THE SHARE OFFER TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW? gested Bayer would have to pay much more than the current offer to clinch a deal. “We believe it is unlikely that the deal gets done at $122 and still believe $135 is a more likely price,” JPMorgan analysts wrote in a research note. Manning & Napier Advisors LLC, an investment management firm that is Monsanto’s 14th largest shareholder according to Thomson Reuters data, agreed with Monsan-

to’s decision to seek a higher offer. “Monsanto’s assessment that the initial offer was inadequate is valid, as we believe it does not appropriately value the company’s existing product portfolio,” said Michael Knolla, a managing director at Manning & Napier. Global agrochemical companies are racing to consolidate, partly in response to a drop in commodity prices that has hit farm incomes. Seed and pesticide markets are

also increasingly converging. This has driven Monsanto to consider a tie-up to build strength. Monsanto approached Bayer in March to express interest in its crop science unit. Among the possibilities discussed were an outright acquisition of the crop science unit and a joint venture or other type of partnership between the two companies. ChemChina plans to buy Switzerland’s Syngenta for $43 billion, after Syngenta rejected a bid from Monsanto. Dow Chemical Co. and DuPont are forging a $130 billion business. With German rival BASF SE having previously considered a venture with Monsanto, Bayer has moved to avoid being left behind. B ay e r ’s u n s o l i c i t e d b i d f o r Monsanto is the largest all-cash takeover on record. Bayer said it would finance its cash bid with a combination of debt and equity.

ESTATE PLANNING

Giving farming, non-farming children a piece of the pie TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

key consideration for most parents when planning a farm estate is to be fair to all their children, whether or not they want to be involved in the farm. Land is usually the most valuable part of the estate, and it can be tricky dividing it up among the children. However, parents also want to create a plan that provides the children who do want to farm an opportunity to succeed. Every family is different, and there is not just one solution to meet the family objectives. A number of things must be considered if the family’s philosophy is to separate land ownership from the actual farming operation. One area to consider is how to protect the farming child who makes a living from the farming operations from decisions that the non-farming child may make with respect to the land they own. Here are some tools to consider to provide this security.

land because buyers are sometimes less interested in negotiating to buy property if someone else can step in at the end and take the opportunity away from them. The right of first refusal can be provided to the farming child, nonfarming child and the parents. Option to purchase Another alternative is to give the farming child the option to buy the non-farming child’s inherited land at fair market value or less. This agreement gives the farming child the right to buy land from the non-farming child for a set period of time. It gives the farming child a little more control because they have the ability to decide when to buy the land.

Long-term lease This alternative gives the farming child long-term access to the land as well as time to build the financial resources to either buy other land or raise funds to buy the non-farming child’s land. It provides the farming child peace of mind and can also offer “automatic” renewals. This means the non-farming child has to honor the terms of the existing lease during the parents’ lifetime or on their death. However, all bets are off after the lease and any renewals are over. The non-farming child then would have control to do what they wish with the land.

Right of first refusal Other factors to consider: One option is to give the farming child a right of first refusal on the land. This allows the farming child to match a price offered to any nonfarming children for their inherited land. It is important to remember that a right of first refusal will make it more difficult for children to sell

Planning is imperative, so get proper advice from the appropriate professionals.
