AMERICAN REPORT

Suicide rate high on U.S. farms Canada does not collect data based on occupation so numbers are not available BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Farming has one of the highest suicide rates of any job in the United States, but little is known about comparable statistics in Canada because most provinces don’t track suicides according to occupation. The Center for Disease Control in the U.S. released a report on suicide rates in early July using American

data from 2012. The study looked at 12,312 suicides from 17 states, and the authors found that jobs performed in rural regions had the highest frequency of suicide. “Rates … were highest in … farming, fishing, and forestry,” the report said, with 84.5 suicides per 100,000 persons. The job category with the second highest rate was construction and extraction, with 53.3 suicides per 100,000.

The authors said they collected and published the data on suicide rates and occupations because the information might help counsellors and medical professionals develop prevention programs for certain jobs. It would be difficult to provide strategic help for specific occupations in Canada because the relevant data doesn’t exist. SEE SUICIDE RATE PAGE 4

The Port of Churchill in northern Manitoba should be returned to federal government control to ensure it remains open to serve the shippers and northern communities that depend on it, says the top official with the Hudson Bay Route Association. “We need ownership … that wants to do business,” said HBRA president Elden Boon.“We really feel that the port itself needs to be under national control again.” Last week, port owner OmniTrax Canada issued layoff notices to about 70 Port of Churchill employees and confirmed that the port’s grain terminal would cease operations effective Aug. 8. News of the layoffs came just days before the kickoff of the 2016-17 crop year. “It came as a complete surprise to each and every one of us,” Boon said.“Everyone was completely blindsided….” T h e t e r m i n a l’s c l o s u re h a s prompted a variety of responses. Last week, Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister suggested the pending closure was an attempt by Denver-based OmniTrax to coax more money out of the province. Pallister said Manitoba’s former NDP government agreed to a oneyear deal in 2015 that saw the Manitoba treasury subsidize OmniTrax’s Canadian operations to the tune of nearly $1 million. “The agreement that the province entered into last year was nothing more (than) a subsidy bailout done as a consequence of a threat, and now that threat is being repeated this year,” Pallister said June 28. “I want to be very, very clear that I don’t respond ever to threats.” The closure comes as prairie farmers are projected to harvest an unusually large crop this fall, possibly in the range of 65 to 75 million tonnes. Many growers have clear memories of the grain handling challenges that occurred in 2013-14, when transportation channels were plugged and grain export programs were delayed by months.

Boon acknowledged that Churchill is not a large player in terms of volumes handled. Despite a federal subsidy that pays grain shippers roughly $12 a tonne to move grain through Churchill, the port exported fewer than 200,000 tonnes of grain in 2015-16, down from about 500,000 tonnes in a normal year. Churchill accounted for less than one percent of Canada’s total grain and oilseed exports in 2015. Nonetheless, Boon said Churchill offers a valuable alternative route for growers situated along remote branch lines, where grain movement is often slowest. It also has potential to serve smaller exporters who lack port capacity in Vancouver, Prince Rupert or Thunder Bay. SEE CHURCHILL PORT, PAGE 5

Veterinary researchers at the University of Saskatchewan have successfully produced the world’s first bison calves using in vitro fertilization. |

BISON REPRODUCTION

Wood bison research makes bundles of joy Researchers break new ground with in vitro fertilization and the transferring of frozen embryos in bison BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Four healthy Wood bison calves bouncing about in a pasture near Saskatoon marks a big step forward in reviving the species’ population. Storm, Moon, Hope and Fridge are the world’s first successfully produced bison calves using in vitro fertilization. “That is an amazing feat, and it’s taken a long time to get to this point,” Gregg Adams of the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine said during a recent field day in Saskatoon. He said the college started the Wo o d Bi s o n R e p ro d u c t i o n Research Project nine years ago and produced Storm, Moon and Hope in Petri dishes by joining bison eggs and sperm. The resulting embryos were then transplanted into surrogate bison cows more than nine months ago, which gave birth to the three calves in July. Fridge was aptly named after being produced from a frozen embryo that was taken from a bison cow in 2012 and then transferred to a surrogate mother last year. This

process was also another reproductive first for the bison species. Adams said reproductive technology biologists started at ground zero and knew nothing about bison’s normal reproductive pattern. “We didn’t know what their ester cycle was, we didn’t know when they came into heat, when they ovulated,” he said. “These bison in Canadian latitudes are very, very distinctly seasonal. That means that they only have a breeding season very distinctly around the first of September for a couple of months. The rest of the months of the year the females don’t cycle.” The ability to turn eggs into embryos has significantly improved over the course of the program from the initial IVF success rate of seven percent. “Forty-five to 50 percent of the eggs that we put in culture and fertilize in vitro now produce babies, which is equivalent to the efficiency in domestic livestock, cattle,” said Adams. “We are now able to collect on average about seven eggs per collection attempt. We’re able to do this from live animals, mature

those eggs in a lab, put them together with the semen that we’ve collected from our own bull here. That semen was frozen.” Cryopreservation techniques with bison semen are another major hurdle that researchers continue to develop. The systematic destruction of bison combined with harsh winters during the late 1800s decimated both the prairie and woodland species.

efforts from more than 80 years ago that crossed bison and cattle infected the animals with brucellosis and tuberculosis. Canada’s domestic livestock population is now free of brucellosis and tuberculosis, but 30 to 6 0 p e rc e nt o f w i l d b i s o n a re infected w ith both diseases, which has hampered their population growth and isolated them from moving out of the parkland regions.

5,000 to 7,000 WOOD BISON REMAIN IN THE WILD “The die-off was so bad that all the bison we have today are derived from less than 200 at the turn of that century,” said Adams. Between 5,000 and 7,000 wood bison now remain in the wild, which is less than five percent of the original population. “That’s a tremendous bottleneck, and to recover from that is a real tribute actually to the toughness of this species,” he said. As well, initial conservation

Researchers can use advanced reproduction techniques such as artificial insemination, superovulation and in vitro fertilization to disinfect the egg and sper m, which minimizes the spread of disease and prevents calves from being born with diseases. “I think what we’re doing with advanced reproductive technologies is really designed to preserve the genetic diversity (of the animals),” said Adams.

Benefits of the technologies also apply to bison producers who want to use Plains and Wood bison crosses for hybrid vigour. “They will grow faster, be less susceptible to disease, and that’s advantageous to the bison industry,” he said. Adams said the college plans to produce 200 calves over the next three years. Surrogate herds will need to be identified using bison producers or bison from national parks. “We can use their (bison producers) animals on their place as surrogate moms, whether they’re Plains bison, Wood bison, or mixed,” he said. “From a production point of view, we can produce semen, they can ship semen all over so they don’t have to actually ship the bulls that they want and so they can do artificial insemination using bulls in the same way that embryos can be done.… It also allows them (bison producers) to select the genetics that they want and they need, which they otherwise wouldn’t be able to do.” william.dekay@producer.com

AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION MEETING

Grain monitor says rail movement problems not expected BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Railways are prepared to move a potentially big harvest this fall and winter. “The railways, CP in particular, has gone on record saying that they’re ready for it and it would not be my place to second guess what they say,” said Mark Hemmes of Quorum Corporation. The chief executive officer of Canada’s grain monitoring program doesn’t expect a repeat of the problems the industry experienced in 2013-14. “If we do have problems, it’s going to be of a new nature and it’s anybody’s guess as to what those might be,” he said during the midterm meeting of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon July 18. With the growing potential for

another bumper crop, Hemmes doesn’t think anybody would expect railways to move more grain than they did in 2013-14 on their best period. “It’s really not possible for a railway to have that much capacity available on a moment’s notice.” He said about one-third, or about 8,000 cars, of the total fleet are waiting for the new crop to come in. “The railways cannot put those immediately into service. I think they’ll have them ready (and) as we move into September and early October they’ll start to come on very quickly,” he said. The downturn in potash, oil and coal production could also play a role in moving larger volumes this fall, with more locomotives, rail space and staff possibly available. “Certainly, if you take that demand

MARK HEMMES QUORUM CORPORATION

out of the equation, it can’t hurt the grain industry,” he said. While U.S. and eastern markets have seen growth the last few years, most Canadian grain will continue to be shipped through the West Coast in Asia-Pacific countries and Central America. It became apparent during the 2013-14 backlog that better communication between railways

and grain companies was needed. “They’ve gone a long way to improve their discussions. Are they all the way there — maybe not,” he said. “But at an operating level, grain companies and railways are working together really, really well.” It’s still too early to measure the waiting times for vessels at ports because not enough grain is moving through the system. “Once we get back into the fall, we’ll see. We’re almost certainly going to see vessel lineups increase, waiting times extend because only 15 weeks ago we had 30 vessels waiting in Vancouver. The stocks in the country diminished and now we’re down to a level that’s probably at some of the lowest points that we’ve seen in the last four years,” he said. Vessel costs are currently about

$5,000 to $6,000 per day but could go higher. Typically, loading times are contracted at 10 to 12 days. If it takes longer, it costs more. “At its worst time in 2014, we were seeing vessel wait times averaging 28 days. Those are significant costs and those are the sort of things that everybody wants to avoid,” he said. Hemmes said it could be well into October before grain monitors can assess how things are going. “When 2013 came around, we probably had a good idea come about the end of October that it wasn’t quite what it should have been. “The age-old challenge that we see in Canada is how soon is it going to get cold and how cold? What kind of snowfalls are we going to see?” william.dekay@producer.com

SUICIDE RATE » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “Unfortunately in Canada … the coroner’s reports don’t specify occupation, so we only have anecdotal evidence,” said Janet Smith, program manager for Manitoba Farm & Rural Support Services. “They look at demographics like age and gender and region … but they don’t include occupation, which is really a shame.” Smith said the results of the U.S. study aren’t surprising because farming can be a demanding job. “What we know … is that it’s one of the most stressful and dangerous occupations.” The CDC study listed a number of factors that might be responsible for the higher rates of suicide in farming: • social isolation • potential for financial losses • access to lethal means, such as firearms • unwillingness to seek mental health services As well, most farmers are males, and suicide is more common among men. The CDC said 78 percent of suicides in 2012 were men and 22 percent women. Depression and addiction are also major contributors to suicide risk, but it’s unclear if Canadian farmers are more likely to suffer from those ailments. “There haven’t been very many studies about that,” Smith said. However, University of Guelph research that was released in late June found that farmers report higher levels of stress than other Canadians. A survey of 1,100 Canadian producers concluded that 45 percent of survey respondents had high stress, 38 percent had emotional exhaustion and 31 percent said seeking professional help could “stigmatize a person’s life.” Andria Jones-Bitton, a U of G professor in the department of population medicine, said she is building a team of ag industry reps and health professionals to intervene and develop solutions. “We need to do something,” she said. “Farmers want help, and we’re going to find ways for them to receive it.” Smith said the study is encouraging because researchers aren’t just measuring the mental health of farmers — they plan to do something about it. “They are … looking at how to develop a mental health literacy program … to develop tools to recognize and respond to farmers in distress and roll that out to front line workers (like) ag reps … veterinarians … anyone who is working with farmers.” Farmers who need someone to talk to can contact Manitoba Farm & Rural Support Services at 866367-3276 or www.ruralsupport.ca/ robert.arnason@producer.com

GRAIN MOVEMENT ROUNDTABLES

Farm groups demand meeting with transportation minister Some associations fuming over being left out of discussions on grain movement BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is still pushing to meet with federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau to discuss grain movement, although it and other organizations have met with the agriculture minister on the topic. CFA president Ron Bonnett said Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay is an ally at the cabinet table, but Garneau should meet directly with farmers. CFA had asked for a meeting in March, and finally got a reply in June saying Garneau was unavailable. Then came the news that the roundtables Garneau was hosting on the Canada Transportation Act review would conclude July 21 with only Pulse Canada and Prairie Oat Growers Association in attendance. “I don’t think there’s a real recognition by the transport minister how critical this issue is for grain farmers,” Bonnett said. The grain backlog of 2013-14 was the driving factor behind the review, and both the Saskatchewan and Manitoba agriculture ministers have said producers must be consulted. Transport Canada did not reply when asked why more farm orga-

nizations weren’t invited to the roundtables or if more meetings would be planned. However, Agriculture Canada said MacAulay held separate roundtables with 13 organizations July 18, including the CFA, Cereals Canada, the Canadian Canola Growers Association and provincial organizations.

CAM DAHL CEREALS CANADA

Cereals Canada president Cam Dahl said that was a productive meeting with a common message from the commodities and general organizations. “The overwhelming top priority is the need to address railway accountability and market power,” he said. Dahl said Cereals Canada has shared its response and concerns about the transport review directly with both ministers, but he didn’t say whether the organization was miffed at being left out of the roundtable process. G r a i n G ro w e r s o f C a n a d a declined to comment at all. Bonnett said producers have to get in front of the appropriate ministers before decisions are made. Pulses and oats are only two commodities, he added.

“I think you’ve got to get into the major commodities like canola and wheat to really get to the heart of the issue of what the concerns are with rail shipments of grain,” he said. “Service levels are basically nonexistent. There was the Emerson report that skated around some of the issues but didn’t really give definitive guidance to the minister.” He said grain shipments are a mainstay for the railways, while potash and oil shipments are “gravy.” “Paying the bills year in and year out, grain is the big player,” he said. The CFA is discussing its concerns with other organizations and has sent another letter to Garneau requesting a meeting. “It’s good that MacAulay is there because we need other supporting partners around the cabinet table, but I think the minister (Garneau) should have contacted the grain sector and the western producers,” he said. Online consultations on the review continue until Sept. 16. Transport Canada has not said it would extend that deadline for prairie grain farmers busy with a harvest that could be 74 million tonnes. karen.briere@producer.com

SOUTHERN ALBERTA

Rain came — too late, too much, too hard Crops northeast of Lethbridge are poor, pulses near Medicine Hat suffer moisture damage

CROP FEATURES ARE A WEEKLY SERIES RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE GROWING SEASON.

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Timing is everything when it comes to rainfall and crop development, but southern Alberta’s extensive irrigation system removes that wrinkle from the crop quilt for those who have access. Irrigated crops of all kinds are in good shape radiating outward from Lethbridge and across the south, according to crop specialists. Sprinklers were especially crucial earlier in the growing season when conditions were dry, but July showers have reduced the need. The Lethbridge region received more than 110 millimetres of rain in July, more than double the usual amount.

However, that bountiful moisture came too late for most dry land farmers. Conditions were dry at the crucial head-filling stage, and pastures are only now greening up. “Without irrigation, we’d be in real dire straits right now,” said Dwayne Rogness, a rural extension specialist for Lethbridge County. “In the northeast of the county, there’s a real dry area there, basically a drought, and really short stands of crops and not very good seed development. Even though we’re getting the rain now, everything has flowered and was pretty much set before we got these rains. Crops are down in the dry land area about 25 percent.” Kevin Serfas, who farms more than 30,000 acres across the south, said irrigated crops are fine, but as for the rest, “crops are awful. North

Bushel weight is good, he added, “so at least I’ll have something to sell.” The problem was a period of little or no rain between the May long weekend and the second week of July. Until then, “everything looked fantastic, but by the third week in June, everything shut down,” Serfas said. Hailstorms have also taken a toll with spotty storms and variable damage. Jack Feenstra, an adviser with Chinook Crop Care, said many of his clients around Picture Butte and Iron Springs received hail in July, forcing some to silage grain crops. Feenstra said the DeVry Greenhouse east of Picture Butte had to replace 240 panes of glass after a July storm. “There was glass in the poinsettias and glass in the mums. They’re already growing for the Christmas crop. It was an absolute disaster.” Irrigated corn is fine, except where hail wreaked havoc. Feenstra said he bragged earlier this year about corn that was bellybutton high on the first of July. “It’s still bellybutton high six weeks later, after three hailstorms,” he said. “Thou shalt not brag.” High humidity has given leaf diseases a foothold, and fusarium head blight is likely to reduce yields in some crops. “We had more rain in July than in all of March, April, May and June combined,” said Feenstra. Early harvested peas on dry land acres were yielding seven to 10 bu. per acre when 40 to 70 bu. is usual. Dry conditions earlier in the season were also a big factor in the Lomond area. Marie Logan said her family was finally able to turn the cows out on moved about 250,000 tonnes through the port in 2012-13 but those volumes have steadily declined. “ We h av e d e f i n i t e l y u s e d Churchill for shipments in the past, when it has made commercial sense,” said Richardson spokesperson Tracey Shelton. “There are a number of factors that have come into play more recently. Ocean freight rates are at

Irrigation has been the saving grace for southern Alberta crops this season and yields are predicted to be high. Dry spring conditions required liberal amounts of water. That changed in July when more than 100 millimetres of rain fell, helping rejuvenate dry pastures but came too late for many crops on unirrigated land. pasture in the last week of July. “We were just actually hauling cows out today, to pasture,” Logan said July 28. “We’ve been feeding them silage for the last few months rather than (put them) out on brown pastures.” Her husband, Glenn Logan, said later seeded crops seem to be doing better than those that went in early, but hay crops on dry land are hardly worth cutting. “The irrigated crops are great. It’s

been a great season for irrigation,” he said. However, he predicts overall crop yields will be slightly below the 10-year average because dismal dry land yields will take a toll. Eastward to the Hilda area, north of Medicine Hat, Andy Kirschenman said his peas and lentils are now suffering from too much moisture. The region has had about 375 millimetres of rain, double the usual amount.

an all-time low, so that certainly makes other ports attractive….” As well, he said Richardson prefers to move grain through its own terminals when possible. Saskatchewan MP and former Conservative federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said the OmniTrax decision is unfortunate but not completely unexpected. With capacity added to Vancou-

ver and Thunder Bay over the last few years, the economics of shipping grain have changed, he said. OmniTrax showed no inclination to upgrade its Manitoba assets, despite federal programs that offered investment incentives of more than $30 million, he added. “OmniTrax had to spend money in order to trigger government

“The winter cereals, they look good. But yield was set while it was still dry so they’re not yielding like they look, but yielding like we would have expected them in the spring, before we got all this moisture,” said Kirschenman. “The hay crop looks pretty good, but its not coming off. We get a shower every three days, so there hasn’t been a lot of hay put up without rain on it.” Hay crops have also suffered from frequent showers in the Pincher Creek area in Alberta’s southwest. Quentin Stevick, a municipal district councillor, said hay quality will likely be poor because of early season dryness followed by July rain. “The guys I talked to, some of them didn’t even cut any hay. They just turned the cows in.” South and east of Pincher Creek, cereals and oilseeds look promising, said Stevick. “When you start seeing barley crops that have been lodging for a month, you know that crop’s good, and you see the canola so thick that you can’t see anything except canola, you know that’s good.” Another bright spot in Alberta’s south centres around Foremost. Carrie Butterwick of Agro Plus Sales and Service said farmers there are just hoping hailstorms don’t affect what appear to be stellar crops. “Things look really, really, really good,” said Butterwick July 28. “Everybody is just really excited about how things look in this area. Its been raining and raining and raining, and we’ve fought a few disease issues earlier on, but we’re past the point of that giving us problems. We’re just waiting on harvest.” Lentil acres were up this year in the Foremost region, and the durum looks fantastic, she said. “Everybody wants to see this crop get in the bin.” barb.glen@producer.com money but that never happened,” said Ritz. Ritz said it will be difficult to find a new owner willing to upgrade the port and the railway line that serves it. “It’s going to be tough to put it back together again, there’s no doubt in my mind,” he said. brian.cross@producer.com

Bin-busting crops bad for prices Analysts warn feed grain prices could fall further this fall and to weigh delivery options BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Good news in the field for Canadian and American grain farmers means bad news for the new crop feedgrains market. Expectations of massive corn and wheat crops, with a voluminous western Canadian barley crop, have hammered down prices and given little reason to hope for better values this autumn. “The amount of barley bushels that seem to be sitting out in fields has guys convinced they’ll run out of storage, (and that) the bushels will make up for the price,” said Brandon Motz of CorNine Commodities of Lacombe, Alta. “If you need storage, price soon. If you can store, hold.” Farmers with apparently huge incoming crops of feedgrains are in a pickle. They will need to price a large portion of the new crop, with harvest only a few weeks

away, but the feedgrains market has collapsed. December corn futures have fallen by more than a dollar since mid-July, from a peak of US$4.50 per bushel to below $3.50 at the end of July. Canadian cash barley prices have slumped along with them, losing about C75 cents per bu. to sit at about $3.10-$3.20.

There’s no home for this corn (in the United States). It’ll make its way to Alberta. ERROL ANDERSON PROMARKET WIRE EDITOR

ProMarket Wire editor Errol Anderson said the U.S. corn crop appears to be enormous, and that will have more than a price impact on Alberta’s feedlot alley.

“There’s no home for this corn (in the United States),” said Anderson, with yield potentials now reported from the 160s to 180 bu. per acre. “It’ll make its way to Alberta.” And if high yields survive until harvest, U.S. corn futures “will break towards $3 a bu.,” he said. In western Canada the crop isn’t in the bin yet, but many farmers expect to harvest large feed crops that will overwhelm demand. And their feedgrain will likely face stiff competition from imported American corn. That’s why Motz urges farmers who don’t have storage to price now, because it won’t likely improve in the early fall. Anderson said farmers who need to ship new crop fast should arrange for delivery now. “It’s critical for growers to try to move what they can and then use other tools to manage the price,” he said. “Delivery is paramount.”

Another danger is fear that rain at harvest could damage wheat, pushing crops out of the food market and into the feed market. The one possible salve for the glutted market could be the export barley market, both Motz and Anderson said. If barley prices become relatively cheap, Saudi feed buyers might come back into the market and pull some out of Canada. “The big question in everybody’s mind is: does an export program come into play,” said Motz. However, even if that occurs, there will still likely be a lot of barley around, unless a late season weather disaster crushes yields. “We have a commodity sector that’s under a lot of pressure,” said Anderson. Motz and Anderson said prices might recover slightly in the winter, but see little reason to expect a major bounce soon. ed.white@producer.com

WINNIPEG (CNS) — It’s a nervous time for Canada’s canola industry as it lobbies the Chinese government over a plan to impose new dockage rules on imports of Canadian canola on Sept. 1. That’s when China’s quarantine agency, AQSIQ, says the dockage allowances for Canadian canola will be pegged at one percent, down from the old mark of 2.5 percent. China has said worries over blackleg disease are the reason for the new rules. However, the president of the Canola Council of Canada said she doesn’t buy that. “There’s absolutely no reason from a disease perspective to reduce dockage, that really should be a commercial negotiation,” said Patti Miller. “Blackleg won’t be transmitted through dockage.” Many in Canada believe the decision is prompted by China’s desire to limit the flow of oilseed imports while it gets rid of existing rapeseed stockpiles. Whatever the case, the unresolved issue has the attention of the market, according to a trader in Winnipeg. “It’s certainly a big negative and might be adding to some of the selling in here too because people are saying, ‘it’s still not done, it’s still not done,’ which is giving speculators some confidence that this thing (canola market) is still going down,” noted Keith Ferley of RBC Dominion Securities. Another analyst, Mike Jubinville of ProFarmer Canada in Winnipeg, suspects China may decide to delay the deadline. “I suspect there will be hype about it in the next six weeks and then all of a sudden it will go away.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

SASKATCHEWAN PRICE OUTLOOK

Hay quality poor, but prices back to normal Good quality hay was selling for up to $200 per ton last year but is now around $130 BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The hay market in Saskatchewan went temporarily crazy in July last year. Sellers of decent quality hay were asking $150 to $200 per ton, and buyers were willing to pay the extraordinary prices. The price spike didn’t last into the fall, and it’s unlikely buyers will pay high prices this summer. Most hay produced this year is of low quality and there’s an adequate carryover of forage from last year. “It (price) is not going to be at where it was last year because the quality is degrading so much (this summer),” said Jim Chaplin, a rancher and hay producer from Fort Qu’Appelle, Sask. “What are you going to do with all the hay that’s been rained on? This year nobody is getting their hay up dry. I’ve baled 600 rounds already and I’ve got 11 of those that I could put in for horse feed.” A spring drought last year hampered hay production early in the summer and introduced an element of panic to the market. Sellers took advantage of the drought and high prices for cattle. Some cashed in, receiving prices double the usual $75 to $100 a ton for hay. “Guys last year, at the beginning of the year, were asking seven to eight cents a pound,” Chaplin said. “Five cents is good money on hay.” Trevor Lennox, Saskatchewan Agriculture’s forage specialist in Swift Current, said the hay market

is more sensible this summer. “(The drought) drove that (price) spike. This year we haven’t seen that shortage.” Hay prices posted online reflect the return to a normal market in Saskatchewan. Most hay for sale ads have prices of $60 to $70 per round bale, or around $90 to $100 per ton. The warm and relatively short winter is also affecting the market because many ranchers still have stacks of bales in the yard.

“Most guys would tell you that their cows (used) less feed,” Lennox said. Instead of prices, the story this summer is rain. Many producers have struggled to cut or bale hay because fields and swaths are wet. “Some of it (cut hay) was rained on three, four or five times,” Chaplin said. “I was picking bales yesterday and I was thinking, ‘if I get three cents a lb. for this stuff, I’d let it go.’ ”

Lennox said the wet and challenging conditions for making hay are widespread in Saskatchewan. “The quality will be below average … and a fair bit below average in my region.” Consequently, producers with high quality forage may receive a premium. Lucas Closson, who farms west of Saskatoon, is one the few producers who put up high quality hay this summer. He posted an ad online for 70

percent grass and 30 percent alfalfa hay at $100 per round bale, or about $130 per ton. The ad, posted late July, attracted more than 500 visits. Closson said demand for hay might be stronger than many assume. “There’s been so much rain, (few people) have even got started yet,” he said. “Last year I sold hay and I was getting pretty much the same (price) last year.”

thing will be done. “Every year they need just as much, usually more, than the year before,” he said, adding canola was relatively cheap compared to other vegetable oils. November canola was trading below $450 per tonne the morning of July 26. The last time it was that low was in March. Statistics Canada estimated this year’s canola area at 20.02 million acres, which is roughly the same as last year’s acreage. While excess rain was causing a few problems for canola on the Canadian Prairies, there were still expectations of a very large harvest. Miller stresses she hopes a solu-

tion will be found but wants people to know how big a deal it would be if the new dockage requirements are put in place. “If we don’t find a solution by Sept. 1, there’s going to be significant consequences,” she said.

“Each company will make their own decision, of course, but the industry at large does not believe one percent can be achieved,” Miller said. Whether canola dockage is a real problem or not doesn’t matter, she said, because China ultimately decides what it will allow with its imports. “Neither China or Canada want canola trade to stop. Everyone is committed to working through this,” she said. Jubinville said an agreement could come at the 11th hour but nothing is certain. “I could be wrong and the Chinese dig in their heels on this issue

and it stops the flow and that would be very bad, but I suspect they really need it and will start buying.” The Chinese Embassy in Ottawa said experts from its agricultural department were talking with their Canadian counterparts about how to solve the issue. Canada exported four million tonnes of canola to China in 201415, accounting for nearly half of the 8.9 million tonnes of total exports, according to Canadian Grain Commission data. China has accounted for 3.2 million tonnes of the 8.5 million tonnes of canola exported during the 10 months to date of the current crop year.

Industry repercussions Miller said the issue touches everyone in the supply chain, from the producer through to the grainhandling business. A critical question raised by the looming deadline is whether grain handling companies have the ability to get dockage down to one percent.

he 2015-16 crop year is over, bringing to an end another season of robust exports. It will be another month or so before Statistics Canada publishes its July data, allowing for an official tally, but the latest forecast from Agriculture Canada of total grain, oilseed and pulse crop exports in 2015-16 is 48.26 million tonnes. The previous year marked the

record for total exports, at 48.89 million tonnes. And 2013-14, for all its troubles with grain transportation, holds the title of second best with 48.52 million tonnes. It wasn’t that long ago that exports were less than 40 million tonnes. Broadly speaking, the year that just ended saw reduced exports of wheat, durum, barley and flax compared to the year before, but those were partly offset by increased exports of canola. Exports of the oilseed will post a record high. The Canadian Grain Commission maintains a monthly record of bulk crop exports. It produced a report in June and so is timelier than Statistics Canada’s tally, which includes exports in containers but lags behind, with May as the

most recent report. The CGC reports are not so good for keeping track of pulses because container shipping is still important in that area, but in the major grains, the CGC reports give a good window into export activity. The CGC’s June report shows that China was again Canada’s largest canola importer by a wide margin, accounting for almost 39 percent of the 9.35 million tonnes shipped to the end of June. China had imported 3.54 million tonnes of Canadian canola, slightly less than the year before. Japan is the second largest importer, taking 2.03 million tonnes, slightly more than the year before. Combined, these two Asian importers took almost the exact same amount as the year before. No. 3 importer, Mexico, also had nearly steady imports at 1.31 million tonnes. So what countries took more to push canola exports to a record? Pakistan, which suffered consecutive poor monsoons, more than doubled its imports to 890,300 tonnes, and its neighbour, Bangladesh, took 210,500 compared to nothing the year before. The United Arab Emirates, which buys canola to process and then reexport, increased its take by more than 50 percent to 682,500 tonnes.

The European Union last year had a disappointing rapeseed harvest, forcing it to import more. Over 11 months, European countries have imported 432,000 tonnes, up from just 76,500 tonnes in the same period the year before. Canada’s wheat market is much more diverse with 71 customers compared to 14 for canola. Some customers bought less and some more but it looks like total wheat exports will be down by a million tonnes or more from last year. To the end of June, they stood at slightly more than 15 million tonnes, according to the CGC numbers. The biggest customer was Japan, taking 1.54 million tonnes, or slightly more than 10 percent of the total. The No. 2 customer was Indonesia at 1.39 million tonnes followed by Bangladesh at 1.34 million and Peru at 1.06 million. China, which staggers under the weight of an expected 112.5 million tonnes of surplus wheat at the end of 2016-17, does not buy much wheat on the international market. But it did buy 878,600 tonnes from Canada so far this year. That beats the 870,100 tonnes we sold to the United States. Also of note is Saudi Arabia. A state-owned Saudi company owns

more than 50 percent of G3 Canada, the grain company that evolved from the wrap up of the Canadian Wheat Board. However, the linkage did not generate wheat sales this year. The Saudis imported no Canadian wheat or durum so far this year, compared with 624,800 tonnes last year. In durum, Canada had a slow start to the export year and was never able to catch up, with 4.04 million tonnes shipped to the end of June, down about nine percent behind the same point last year. The biggest buyer, as usual, was Italy, at 1.11 million tonnes, taking more than a quarter of all exports. North African countries were also key buyers with Algeria at 919,900 tonnes, Morocco at 566,100 tonnes and Tunisia at 283,100 in the first 11 months. With a potential bumper crop developing, Canada will need another year of exceptional exports but there will be challenges as the summer of 2016 is shaping up as an excellent one for crops almost everywhere in the world. Competition will be fierce.

WASHINGTON STATE FARM

Unapproved GM wheat found in Wash. field: USDA REUTERS — Genetically modified wheat developed by Monsanto and never approved by United States government regulators, has been found growing in a Washington state farm field, said the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The discovery of 22 unapproved genetically modified wheat plants has prompted an investigation by federal and state investigators — the third such discovery in three years. A farmer found the herbicidetolerant GM wheat in a field that has not been planted since 2015. The plants had been identified as being one of Monsanto’s experimental varieties “a few weeks ago,” a spokesperson from the Washington state Department of Agriculture said.

The USDA is testing grain harvested from the farmer’s other wheat fields as a precaution, the agency said. Officials also contacted at least one trade group earlier this week, and alerted importers on July 28. The grain has not been traced in commercial supplies, USDA said in a statement. There are currently no commercially approved genetically modified wheat varieties and incidences of rogue plants are rare. The first case was in 2013 in Oregon, which prompted buyers including South Korea and Japan to temporarily stop buying U.S. wheat. More unapproved wheat was found in Montana in 2014. The U.S. Food and Drug Admin-

istration believes there is no threat to the food supply due to the small number of plants found and based on what is known about the variety. South Korea, the fifth largest market for U.S. wheat, said earlier the country will step up quarantine measures for U.S. milling and feed wheat shipments. The discovery comes as the latest blow for the U.S. wheat market as prices hover near multi-year lows amid record-large stocks and stiff competition in global markets. Monsanto helped to develop a test for MON 71700, the glyphosate-tolerant strain found in Washington state, which would be available to U.S. trading partners, the USDA said.

Heavy steers saw the best demand last week thanks to interest from Eastern Canada, while their heifer counterparts were under pressure.

CANFAX REPORT FED MARKET FIRMS The Canfax weighted average fed steer price was $147.64, up $2.70 per hundredweight.

CRAIG’S VIEW

TRANSPORTATION ROUNDTABLES

Lack of ag group consultation on transportation baffling

he rail transportation review that includes movement of western Canadian grain took a sharp turn last week. The federal government announced that roundtable consultations are over, and it won’t extend the deadline for written submissions past Sept. 16, which falls in the middle of harvest. Of the eight roundtable sessions that formed the heart of the consultation process, only one addressed grain transportation, which has been called the most significant challenge facing prairie farmers. As well, only two producer groups, Pulse Canada and the Prairie Oat Growers Association, were formally invited to the table to comment. The Western Grain Elevators Association and G3 Canada took part, but major producer groups have yet to provide input. The political website iPolitics reports that some western agricultural groups, even some western agriculture ministers, weren’t aware that consultations were underway. Neither Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart nor Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler were invited to take part in the formal consultation phase. Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, says he has unsuccessfully pursued a meeting with federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau for months. It’s strange. It’s puzzling. Farm groups are already suspicious that soon-to-be updated rules might favour rail companies after former Conservative MP David Emerson’s 18-month-long review of the Canada Transportation Act was released in February. Emerson’s report recommended, among other things, that revenue caps on rail companies be removed in seven years to introduce a more commercial focus on rail transportation. Producers see revenue caps as a way of keeping a check on near monopolies of Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway in their western Canadian operating zones. Rail companies say

they need more revenue to invest in infrastructure to resolve transportation issues. Emerson’s report and the ensuing consultations came about after farmers faced serious difficulties moving their grain in 201314, when the largest crop on record faced a difficult winter that challenged transportation, leaving farmers waiting for long periods to move their product and unable to capitalize on high market prices. This is meat and potatoes stuff for farmers. Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay from Prince Edward Island hasn’t had a high profile in this. A Transport Canada spokesperson says the Sept. 16 deadline was needed to process input before the House sits and to prepare for meetings with provincial ministers. He said agriculture ministers and producer groups can have their say even after the Sept. 16 deadline, but that will prove difficult before this year’s harvest — potentially the second-largest ever. You’d think Garneau and MacAulay would want to hear from more producers before the rail companies try to move this year’s predicted large harvest to avoid the pitfalls of the 2013-14 shipping season, even with CN and CP saying they are ready for the challenge this time. On the plus side, the Liberal government did extend the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act for another year. It allows Ottawa to set mandatory targets for grain movement by rail companies or face fines. That helped to address the 2013-14 crisis. That’s a reasonable move given the uncertainty around the consultation process and the potentially massive harvest. Still, this consultation process appears rushed and incomplete. Garneau and MacAulay must assure producers that their input will be swiftly sought and considered.

BUREAUCRATIC BUCK-PASSING

Runaround on Port of Churchill closure strange but true CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

f you’re looking for answers from Ottawa on what the Port of Churchill’s closure means for grain transportation, prepare for some bureaucratic runaround. Federal officials have remained silent, even as Canadian farmers are expecting a near record crop. Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay’s office deferred the matter to Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains’ office, whose portfolio includes Western Economic Diversification. Meanwhile, Transport Minister Marc Garneau deferred questions to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr, whose office deferred the

matter back to Bains’ office. Bains’ office issued a statement July 26 expressing disappointment over the port’s closure, insisting that cabinet was “monitoring the situation closely.” The email does not mention the word grain once. Asked again, Bains’ office said the minister had “no further comment at this time.” Follow ups to MacAulay’s office were again deferred to Bains’ office. No one in Ottawa seems to be able to explain why the innovation minister is suddenly fielding questions about grain transportation — an issue MacAulay was happy to answer questions about not even 48 hours earlier while in Calgary. Word of the port’s closure broke July 25. Within 24 hours, more than a few questions had surfaced about the shutdown’s implications for Canada’s grain handling system. While not a major player in terms of grain movement (the Western Grain Elevators Associa-

tion says the tonnage moved by Churchill can easily be handled by Thunder Bay), the northern port’s significance should not be dismissed. Churchill is an integral piece to Canada’s Arctic sovereignty. It was Canada’s first deep water Arctic port and remains the only such port with rail access, which makes it a key economic driver for northern Manitoba. The port moved an average of 500,000 tonnes of grain during its approximately 13-week shipping season, providing a small amount of contingency to a grain handling system that has struggled with logistics in recent years. Several shippers opted to use Churchill in 2013-14 to get their stranded goods to market, although the harsh winter forced the port to close a week earlier than usual. T h e a m o u nt o f g ra i n b e i n g shipped to the port was in decline. It handled 184,000 tonnes of grain last year, which was a far cry from the more than 600,000 tonnes

moved in 2013. Still, for farmers — particularly those in Manitoba — knowing Churchill was an option in case of a jam provided some peace of mind. Given the size of this year’s crop, Keystone Agricultural Producers is calling on Ottawa to keep the port open at least until the end of the 2016 shipping season. Ottawa has said nothing about what the port’s shutdown means for grain. It’s a silence that is unlikely to earn the government support from an already frustrated agriculture industry. The Liberals have very few friends in agriculture. In their first eight months, they’ve somehow managed to make almost every commodity group mad. Dairy farmers are incensed over the federal government’s inaction on the diafiltered milk file. Chicken farmers don’t understand the hold-up on a border control issue that is letting in a hundred millon kilograms of spent fowl (old laying hens) from the

United States. Farmers say it is undermining Canada’s supply management. Meanwhile, some grain groups are livid over the Liberals’ poor transparency and availability on the grain transportation file. Many, including the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, are frustrated by Garneau’s unwillingness to meet with them face-to-face. And while MacAulay has held his ow n roundtable on grain transportation, farm groups know Garneau, who is the lead on the file, will be the one making the final decisions. Canada’s agriculture industry says it’s starting to feel ignored, and the latest runaround in Ottawa on Churchill and grain won’t help the Liberals win it over. Nor will it appease fears that the Liberals will ignore rural Canada in favour of their urban buddies. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

U.S. GM labelling laws designed to fail

Newspaper code of ethics

BY ALAN GUEBERT

mericans have been perfecting the art of non-action action for years. It began about a generation ago with the non-apology apology: “If I offended you, I apologize.” Later we moved on to the non-committal commitment : “I’ll be there unless I get a better offer.” Now, courtesy of Congress, our non-legislating legislature, we might soon be buying non-label labelled food. Congress reached this state of higher non-ness by carefully noting what the American public overwhelmingly and repeatedly has said it wants —country-of-origin labeling for meat and poultry and the labelling of all food that contains ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms — before choosing to do just the opposite. In 2015, the U.S. House of Representatives tackled the public’s GM labelling demand by punting; it voted 275-150 in favour of voluntary GM labelling. In the Land of Non, voluntary labelling means, of course, almost everyone will voluntarily not label food that contains GMOs. Not to be outdone by the nonlabelling labellers in the House, the U.S. Senate finally awakened to act on June 29 when it easily approved (68-29) a procedural vote to move its complicated GMO labelling bill to a full Senate vote. Unlike the House’s voluntary non-labelling standard, however, the Senate bill contains a mandatory labelling standard — albeit one with more dodges in it than a used car lot.

Voluntary or mandatory, bar codes or symbols, the labelling laws around genetically modified products have gone from complicated to comical. | FILE PHOTO The shiniest clunker is something the Senate chose to call the “bioengineered food disclosure system.” The name alone is certain evidence that Big Food’s lawyers and Big Ag’s lobbyists have already washed, rinsed and waxed the pending bill to ensure it contains the highest possible level of effective ineffectiveness. With this outside help, anti-government government insiders reshaped the Senate bill into pure shapelessness. For example, under the Senate language, large food companies have three options to label any GM ingredients contained in their products. First, explains the National Sus-

tainable Agriculture Coalition, the companies can place a “bar code or QR code” — a quick response code — on its food labels. However, those codes “require consumers (to) use a smartphone to find more information about a product.” So no smartphone, no food info, which is so dumb it’s clever. Second, a company can use “a symbol on the package” to denote its contents are GMO. What symbol? The one “to be created by U.S. Department of Agriculture.” That shouldn’t take long, eh? Or, third, the food company can place “an actual on-package statement that the product contains GMOs.” A simple, uncom-

plicated label? Brilliant. Critics of the Senate bill quickly point out that most food companies will choose the first two, less transparent labelling loopholes for non-labelling labels and few, if any, would choose to openly label. The Food and Drug Administration also sees trouble in the Senate bill because it gives new food labelling authority to the U.S. Department of Agriculture “that is otherwise under FDA’s sole regulatory jurisdiction.” For example, explains a FDA “technical assistance memo” that dissects the Senate bill, “we note that (a) provision to allow information regarding the GE (genetically engineered) content of food to be present only in an electronically accessible form (the bar code and QR code exceptions in the bill) and not on the package label would be in tension with FDA’s statute and regulations, which require disclosures on food labels.” Tension, indeed. Also, notes the FDA memo, “the definition of ‘bioengineering” used in the Senate bill “would be somewhat narrow” and likely mean that many foods from GE sources will not be subject to this bill.” That’s not an accident. It is, in fact, exactly what you would do if you want to write a non-labelling label law that, first, doesn’t conform to current law and, second, will likely never become law. But that’s the trick in running a non-legislating legislature, right? If you actually do anything, it must — by definition —end up doing exactly nothing.

HARVEST OUTLOOK

Prices down, quality may follow with excess rain HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ll indications point to lower grain prices this fall as compared to the prices available off the combine last year. In some cases, higher yields will more than compensate. In other instances, gross returns will drop. Feed barley prices have slipped quickly in recent weeks. A central Saskatchewan bid of $3.50 a bushel was available not long ago, but now quotes are in the range of $2.50. Feed barley was worth around $3.75 at harvest time last year. It will take a 75 bu. per acre crop to match the returns from a 50 bu. crop last year. CWRS wheat last fall was around

$6.15 per bu. The Price and Date Quotes (PDQ) website puts the current price for No. 1 with 13.5 percent protein in the $5.50 range depending on location. Durum still maintains a sizable price premium to spring wheat, but its price has dropped significantly. The crop was worth about $8.75 last fall, depending on grade and location. The PDQ price quote for No. 1 with 13 percent protein is currently $6.80. Last year’s 30 bu. per acre crop will need to be nearly 40 this year to generate the same gross return. It will be interesting to see how the fusarium levels turn out this year, considering how wet it’s been in the traditional durum growing regions. Canola prices have softened, too. Prices were generally less than $9.50 a bu. at the end of July, which is a dollar or more below the prices available last September. This should be a good year for canola yields in most regions, so the yield improvement over last year may

compensate for lower prices for many growers. Flax acreage is down dramatically this year, which is probably one of the reasons why flax prices have held up reasonably well. A price of $12.50 a bu. was typical a year ago, and many current flax bids are now in the $12 range. Sometimes the rush to deliver yellow peas off the combine pushes prices lower. New crop price suggestions are now in the $7.50 to $8 a bu. range, which is probably 50 cents to $1 lower than last fall. The state of the lentil crop has the entire industry guessing. It’s easy to spot the cropping wrecks when driving through some of the traditional lentil growing areas that have received a lot of rain. Entire fields are drowned out and/or rotted out. However, there are also good looking crops in many regions. The latest crop report from the Saskatchewan agriculture ministry rates the lentil crop as 15 percent excellent, 47 percent good, 26 per-

cent fair, 10 percent poor and two percent very poor. Disastrous-looking fields are easy to spot, but the rating doesn’t indicate a disaster. However, rainfall in August could have a huge impact on lentil crop quality and the price spread between grades. New crop red lentils for No. 1 and 2 grades are currently listed at around 30 cents a pound, down dramatically from the contract prices available earlier in the year. Thirty-five cents was a typical price last fall, and it just kept increasing from there. Will lentil prices again explode after harvest or will they languish? New crop prices for large green lentils of good quality are well over 40 cents a lb. As always, weather will have a huge impact on crop quality and ultimately on overall returns. A continuation of rain will be costly. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

“C

an I see the story before it runs?” “No.” This conversation between journalists and interviewees takes place nearly every week at The Western Producer. In most media businesses, such as daily papers, television and radio, the question seldom comes up. When it comes to specialty press, such as agriculture, it is a frequent request, and many publications will oblige. But not the WP. There are several reasons why we do not show our subjects the stories before publication. Some are logistical, some ethical and all are practical. The WP is in the news business. The time from interview to writing and publishing might be a day or two at most, and largely is minutes to hours, depending on the story. With more than 4,400 original editorial pieces each year and only 18 staff, passing them by our subjects would both delay news delivery, making it not-news, and create production bottlenecks. A reporter writes a story and files it for copy editing. An experienced copy editor checks it and makes style and other corrections and ensures it meets WP standards. A section editor will edit it based on the section’s needs and ensure there are photos, graphics and video, and a layout editor will design the page. The section editor and the news editor will proof it on the page and the editor and managing editor will finally proof and consider any liabilities related to the page before publication. All of this takes a few hours and with multiple stories and reporters. But that is a small part of why we won’t let our editorial material be viewed before publication. As readers, most of you wouldn’t want politicians, bureaucrats or business and farm leaders approving stories that involve them. Most of these stories wouldn’t appear at all if that were the case. And we must keep that same standard for every story and subject. We maintain a code of ethics at the WP that all of our editorial staff members are held to. It states: “Articles will not be shown to sources prior to publication. However, reasonable efforts will be made to ensure that information from sources is factual and in context. “Complaints will be given full and prompt consideration. Significant errors will be promptly and prominently corrected.” Give me your thoughts at mike. raine@producer.com.

DEAL WITH FOOD WASTE

Letters should be less than 300 words. Name, address and phone number must be included for verification purposes and only letters accepted for publication will be confirmed with the author.

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for The Western Producer. Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by The Producer.

Long lines are a typical sight at several popular mega store checkout counters in Calgary. Food carts in front, behind and beside me. I hand my membership card to the teller and with a smile she asks if I’d like to upgrade my membership from Gold Star to Executive. I politely decline. It takes the teller less than a minute to settle my twoitem (avocado and roasted chicken) purchase. On my way to the parking lot, a family was frantically picking up food items from the pavement that had fallen from their packed cart. I estimated no less than $47 value of food wasted.

WP’s July 14th editorial “Reducing global food waste can enhance farmer profits,” delved with clarity on how the on-farm production and process side of the equation enhance profit. It was quoted that $31 billion (Value Chain Management International study estimate) worth of wasted food is attributed to various points in Canada’s Food Value Chain. There was no mention that, according to the study, 10 percent and 20 percent of waste is attributed to on-farm and processing, respectively. And for the highest source of waste (47 percent), we consumers are to thank. An increase in profit as a result of improved efficiency in the area of production and processing is expected.

However, if we take a closer look at where one can avoid waste, household kitchens are the place to start. This place is minuscule compared to the land area used in producing/ processing food. Waste is inevitable from all kinds of food production and processing, but what comes out of one’s pocket for food purchases and what ends up on the table are things everyone has control over. If one can manage his consumption, quantifying saving is not an issue. What comes to mind then is a sustainable educational campaign to focus on the consumption of food. Food consumption is mostly attributed to consumers’ attitude and appetite. The amount of money wasted

from consumption side of food chain (economic); the direct relationship between appetite and health issues (physical), and responsive roles of stakeholders in the food chain continuum (properly regulated by government programs and policies) are the factors that can greatly influence one’s attitude. Increased technological efficiency as espoused in the WP editorial plus attitude/appetite modification is more viable in the long run in terms of minimizing food waste and increasing profit in the farms in particular and the Canadian populace in general.

Foreigners get handle on Canada’s grain BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

LA SALLE, Man. — Western Canada’s farming and grain industry can seem dry and dusty to people who spend decades in its midst, but to foreign visitors it can seem exotic. The large scale of the farms, the extreme distances from port, the short growing season and the wide range of crop choices struck some members of the Canadian International Grains Institute’s International Grain Industry Program as peculiar. They visited Ernie Wiens’ farm south of Winnipeg July 20. Others were trying to grasp how prairie farmers move between genetically modified and non-GM crops. Some weren’t sure about the difference between traditional industrial “rapeseed,” modern “canola,” and what some parts of the world still call “rapeseed.” And a couple of hardcore international grain trading people seemed very interested in how this year’s crop is coming. The visit was part of CIGI’s efforts to explain how Canada’s grain industry functions, from field to port. It was obvious from the visitors’ questions that much interest still abounds about GM crops, both in practical terms about how they are rotated with non-GM crops and whether or not they are a controversial topic in Canada. Crops like edible beans and flax also drew discussion, being small acreage crops that aren’t grown in too many places outside Canada. Fertilizer, precipitation, harvesting order of cropsbrought queries. It was a hot day by western Canadian standards, provoking a few comments from Canadian grain industry hosts with the tour, but for most of the foreign visitors the temperature was nothing new. Like most features of Canada’s grain industry, the weather and growing conditions were a mix of quite different and somewhat similar for the visitors, and getting a sense of that mix is one of the goals of the program. ed.white@producer.com

LAND MANAGEMENT

Rent it out, hire it out? Hiring someone to custom farm the land is an option to consider BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

ntil recently, farmers who wanted to hold onto their land but no longer wanted to farm it themselves had one option â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to rent it to another farmer. After that, they had only the option of liking or not liking how the renter farmed the land â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how quickly the land was seeded, sprayed and harvested. Statistics Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent agriculture census showed that almost 40 percent of Canadian farmland is rented. Saskatchewan Agriculture found in a 2012 survey that rental rates there varied from $6.25 to $140.60 per acre, while in Alberta, it varied from $62 to $150 per acre. In Manitoba, Manitoba Agriculture said rental rates are about $63 to $77 per acre. Today, producers have another option: hire someone to custom farm their land. The practice is less common here than in the United States, although it is more common on Ontario dairy farms. As with any choice, there are pros and cons to consider. Pros Hiring a custom farming operator allows the landowner to retain control of the business, to still be in charge, while staying away from the physical labour. He or she

makes all the farming decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what to plant and where to plant it, what to put on it and what to leave off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and receives all the income from sales. Then, as the owner, he pays the custom operator and at tax time claims that bill as an expense. The custom operator provides the equipment and labour to perform any or all crop production activities so the producer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to upgrade or invest in new equipment. Typically, custom operators run state of the art equipment.

Statistics from Alberta in 2014 show that seeding with an air seeder would average $20 to $28 per acre. Direct seeding/zero till ran from $21 to $30 per acre while floater trucks were from $7.50 to $9.50 per acre. Aerial seeding cost around $9.50 per acre. Also in Alberta, fertilizer application costs started at $6 to $10.85 per acre for a floater truck application. For wing spin spreaders, costs

Cons Custom operators typically service their repeat customers first. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only good business practice, but what happens when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the new kid in the field? Disease and weed seed can be spread through contaminated equipment. And as always whenever people come together, especially in times of high stakes and high stress, there can be conflict. Who said what? Who promised that? Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you know what I meant? Daryl Maurer is a retired farmer living near Grenfell, Sask. He rents land to a young farmer in the district. When he first quit actively farming, he and his wife decided to hire custom farmers for a portion of their farm. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, we did that for about 200 acres after we retired and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any money,â&#x20AC;? he says.

HEALTH CARE

Should you go or can you stay? Remaining on the farm in your golden years can be a problem if services are needed BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

f retired farmers want to remain on the farm as long as they can, factors such as safety, convenience and accessibility to health care will play a role in determining just how long that will be. Canada’s publicly funded health care system is made up of health insurance plans administered on a provincial or territorial basis w ithin federally deter mined guidelines. However, if you live on a farm, especially a remote farm, receiving services such as home care becomes a bit more challenging. “The Ministry of Health provides global funding to regional health authorities for the delivery of health programs and services,” says Tyler McMurchy, a senior media relations consultant with the Saskatchewan health ministry. “Each health region is responsible for the distribution and mix of its health services, including home care. Some regions offer home care services to those living on farms. Services vary between regions and can also vary according to location within the regions.” He says these services are based on assessed need of the clients. Each region prioritizes those with the greatest need first.

“They use risk factors to determine the urgency of the service and may consider the proximity of the farm to the centre where the home care service provider is located, among other factors.” On the ground in Saskatchewan Sandy Weseen, director of home care for the Kelsey Trail health region in northeastern Saskatchewan, says Meals on Wheels are usually prepared at a central location such as a hospital, care home or restaurant and delivered by volunteers. It’s up to volunteers whether they deliver to farms, she adds. Precooked, healthy re-heatable meals are available at grocery stores if Meals on Wheels isn’t available in rural areas, which she said wasn’t the case when the program was first put into place. Home care provides medical services to seniors to allow them to remain in their homes. Each home care office has a treatment room. Equal service to farm homes is not always possible if patients can’t get to these sites. Again, it comes down to money. “If treatment is needed more than three times a week, it is truly a challenge, because we only have so many staff and so many dollars,” Weseen says.

“Due to the time involved to get there, this is less expensive than sending someone out.” Another option is to hire privately, but few private health-care workers are available, and they may lack the same level of training. “I wish I could say it’s all rosy and it’s all possible, but it’s very difficult,” she says. “When people live two miles from town, it’s very different than if they live 20 miles from town.” Housework is usually not offered except if one spouse is the caregiver for the other. In that case, a home care worker will come to the house, spend time with the client while the spouse has some respite

Gail Scala, director of communication for the Central East Community Care Access Centre, which serves the area east of Toronto and has a mix of urban and farm dwellings, said access centres in Ontario will contract jobs to organizations such as the Victorian Order of Nurses if they can’t serve a remote farm. The centres work with other community agencies that provide services such as Meals on Wheels. “We are not responsible for Meals on Wheels, et cetera,” says Scala. “We work with them. If they, for instance, do not have volunteers available, they may not be able to provide these services.” T ra n s p o r t at i o n t o m e d i c a l appointments in the nearest town or to a larger centre can also be a problem for people on farms. From store to farm? Grocery delivery services are a reality in cities. Local co-ops and other grocers often deliver in small towns on orders over a set minimum amount. But to the farm? work out a written agreement. Work expectations need to be agreed upon. Is the custom operator expected to supply fuel and food? Will you monitor the work as it’s being done?

Maybe not. Amazon, the online retail giant, carries a line of groceries, and it delivers, but a customer must have a land address to receive delivery.

HelloFresh is an international company that delivers fresh groceries that are tailored to recipes included in the package. Its Canadian presence is only in Ontario, covering the area south of the Ottawa River, but it has plans to expand. In Ontario, it does deliver to farms. Services such as landscaping and snow removal could become more popular as baby boomers opt to stay on the farm but cut back on outdoor chores. However, Neal Blacklaws, owner of Mr. Tree in Tisdale, Sask., says he hasn’t seen an increase in the last few years of retired farmers requesting his landscaping services. “Most of the work I do is for young farmers establishing or renovating a yard,” he says. “The retired farmers move to town.” Pricing, payment Agree on what you think is fair. If you need help, ask other farmers who’ve gone this route . Discuss what happens if the job is cancelled or delayed, if your work isn’t ready when the crew shows up, if the operator has broken down, and the timing of payments. Charles Chatterson custom farms near Wolseley, Sask. He thinks renting out land will remain the norm. “They do not want it custom farmed,” he says. “They feel it’s too much risk and not enough profit. “ But if they are selecting a custom operator, Chatterson advised farmers to find one who lives close enough to monitor for bugs and disease on an almost daily basis. The custom operator will do this but there will be a fee. As for payment, “when the job is done, we get paid the day after.” But he adds that he might also consider setting up progressive payments divided over six months.

HOME PROTECTION

Keeping home safe while away BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happiness has many roots but none more important than security.â&#x20AC;? Edward Stettinus. American statesman

olks relaxing on the beach thousands of kilometres from their isolated farm house might well understand the wisdom in those words. How many pina coladas does it take to silence the persistent voice in your head thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggesting that maybe the homestead isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as secure as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like it to be? Maybe leaving the old, diamondtooth harrow upside down in the driveway is just not enough. Vandalism and theft in farm homes isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big problem, says Steve Moulding at Insurance Matters in Kelvington, Sask. But in the 12 years he has been in the insurance business, he believes it has increased. He wonders if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not due at least in part to the prevalence of social media and our tendency to post our location at all times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you were going away for a while, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a poster downtown announcing that,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would you post it on Facebook?â&#x20AC;? Aside from keeping your absence on a need-to-know basis, there are some things you can do to protect your home from not only intruders, but also fire, freezing pipes and rising water. Cameras with remote internet access and alarms triggered by temperature extremes, rising water and intruders, might be an option. These devices sound an alarm and can call up to three telephone numbers if any of the triggers are activated. The system can be set up by the home owner, so there are no monitoring fees or installation costs. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a phone line and a power outlet youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good to go.

FOCUSING ON FAMILY FARMS

Wendel Dillert at Home Hardware in Moose Jaw, Sask., says he sells this type of product, but still advises customers to have a real person available to check their home if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on being away for a while. Moulding says home insurance rates generally donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go up for the winter. And, if you are away from the house and have a monitored system in place for fire and intrusion, you are eligible for a discount on insurance. Some companies would also give you a year-round discount if you have a device in place to detect water issues. The discount can be as much as 20 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out in the country, the discount isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as big â&#x20AC;Ś but,â&#x20AC;? he emphasizes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is no discount for a selfinstalled system. The security system must be professionally installed and monitored 24-7.â&#x20AC;? Moulding says most insurance companies require homeowners who are away for the winter to meet at least one of three requirements to be eligible for the discount: â&#x20AC;˘ a professionally installed and monitored alarm system that monitors temperature â&#x20AC;˘ a competent person checking house either daily or at reasonable intervals; some companies differ in that aspect â&#x20AC;˘ water shut off and pipes drained, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just think pipes; the icemaker in your refrigerator or your water heater could fail and leak, and shutting off the water eliminates several risk factors If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away during a specified number of days during the regular â&#x20AC;&#x153;heating season,â&#x20AC;? which snowbirds typically are, there is an exclusion under the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy that would exclude coverage for water damage due to ruptured pipes caused by loss of heat if the dwelling is unoccupied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you must choose one of the three above stipulations in

CHECKING HOME INSIDE, OUTSIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; AND UP No one wants an intruder in their unoccupied home, but if it must happen, as far as insurance in concerned, is better off with the two legged type. Critters such as raccoons can chew their way into a house and wreak a lot of havoc, none of which is covered by insurance, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at home or not. However, having your home checked regularly can allow problems to be spotted quickly and repairs made to reduce further damage.

ON THE MOVE

Retirees rev up the RV and hit the road BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

M Elaine Halvorson and her husband, Melvin, have travelled the North American continent in their RV. Elaine, who has adapted to working in a small RV kitchen, gets ready to make jam. | SHIRLEY BYERS PHOTO

elvin and Elaine Halvorson of Rose Valley, Sask., have been avid RVers their entire married life. They acquired their first fifthwheel in the 1970s. That RV was parked at Gordie Howe Park in Saskatoon and a schoolyard in Melfort, Sask., while Elaine, an elementary school teacher, took summer school classes. Various RVs got plenty of use as their family arrived and expanded. These days, 20 years into retirement, they take to the road in an fifth wheel, complete with fireplace and central vac, pulled by a threequarter ton diesel truck.

In the 1990s, they worked for a custom combining company for four years starting in Kansas or Oklahoma and making their way northward, living in their RV. O t h e r R V a d v e n t u r e s h av e included a trip up the Alaska Highway while working summer jobs in a motel-restaurant, and a trip across the United States with Roving Volunteers in Christ’s Service, a non-denominational Christian organization. They volunteered their time for the maintenance, service and construction of non-profit Christian children’s homes, schools, colleges, camps, conference centres and churches. Melvin says the truck averages 10 to 12 miles to the gallon when pull-

ing the fifth wheel. Diesel was a better buy before gas prices took a dip, but now, not so much.

The average 25-foot class C motor home, the type with a bed over the cab, rents for $1,000 to $1,200 a week with unlimited miles. Lower gas prices have probably encouraged more snowbirds to take to the road with their trailer or motor home. It’s a lifestyle that appeals to many. Fuel is probably the highest expense after the purchase of the recreational vehicle, but RV enthusiasts say there are ways to mitigate that issue. Packing lighter and slowing down

(80 to 90 km-h is optimum for saving fuel) can all help lower fuel costs.

Parking is another significant expense. Changin’ Gears, an RVer website, says a primitive camping site in the U.S. with an RV dump station, common facilities such as bathrooms showers and no hookups would cost $3 to $10 a day. It goes up to $10 to $30 for a site with water and electricity and $15 to $50 for a site with water, electricity and sewage. Many parks offer 10 to 15 percent discounts to RV club members and seniors who pay daily. These perks don’t apply when paying weekly, but monthly rates provide the greatest savings. Adventurous types can park their RV on public lands, courtesy of the U.S.’s Bureau of Land Management, but there are zero amenities. The only stipulation is that you spend no more than 14 days in one spot. However, “dispersed camping,” which means relocating to a new spot at least 25 miles away every 14 days, can extend the stay in the area as long as you like. The BLM has also designated long-term visitor areas (LTVA), where you may camp for up to seven months. You can buy a short visit permit, which is valid for 14 consecutive days for $40, or a longterm permit for $180. The long-term permit is valid for the entire season, which runs from Sept. 15 to April 15. Both of these permits are valid in any of the designated LTVAs. These areas will have a dump station and a source of water nearby, and there might be a telephone. It’s very basic but very affordable. Many Walmart stores will allow and even encourage RVers to park in their parking lots. This decision is made by individual store managers, so make sure you ask. Food is another expense but your on-board kitchen means food costs could be pretty close to what they are at home. Communication is not something many of us really want to leave behind, at least not for very long. Shop around for the best rates on cell coverage, TV and internet. Knowing where you’re going and for how long will help you determine and perhaps even negotiate these costs. Maintenance will depend on the type of RV, its age and the DIY skills of the people in it. Other expenses, such as medical prescriptions, entertainment and pets, will be very similar to home. If you’re leaving Canada, be sure to get extra medical insurance. Renting is an alternative to buying a motor home, fifth wheel or trailer. The average 25-foot class C motor home, which is the type with a bed over the cab, rents for $1,000 to $1,200 a week with unlimited miles. These come fully equipped with kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, cups, cooking pots, towels and bedding. There are no costs for maintenance, insurance or registration. Just pack your clothes, start your engine and hit the road.

MONEY MATTERS

Thinking of buying a vacation property in Arizona? Could you? Would you? Should you? BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

ick and Sandy retired to Blind Bay, B.C., a decade ago. The Ottawa couple thought they had landed in paradise, but as the days shortened, they noticed all their neighbours were heading south. They decided to see what that was all about and check out the snowbird lifestyle in Arizona for themselves. “We started out renting pad space in a fabulous RV resort in Apache Junction, on the west side of Phoenix,” says Sandy. They enjoyed the experience very much, but when, in their third year, pad rental rose to almost $600 a month, they decided to sell the RV and start looking for a house. “Arizona homes were well priced, and we knew that as young snowbirds, we would spend six months south of the border,” she says. Good deals to be had They looked at 10 to 12 homes a day, including park models and trailers. Eventually they settled on a new Del Web golf community — an active adult retirement community — on the south end of Phoenix where they bought a 1,500 sq. foot home for US$149,000. They sold that house in 2010 and bought a larger one in the same community. Their second Arizona home was a bank-owned 2,120 sq. foot house that they bought, sightunseen for $130,000. The entire transaction was completed while they were in Canada. “The money was wired,” Sandy says. “It was all closed and done with a realtor and title company via the internet.” They sold the second house last November, and the transaction took 10 days to finalize. They then went looking for house number three, which turned out to be a 2,200 sq.

Do your homework before signing on the dotted line when buying real estate in the U.S. | GETTY IMAGES PHOTO foot house on a golf course. Their homes were never obtained as an investment, but Rick and Sandy have never lost money on any home they have bought. “We always look for a home that has good bones in a great golf community,” says Sandy. “I do home staging and my husband does renovations, so it doesn’t take much for us to make chicken soup from chicken poop.” She says their third home purchase, which was made in February, was a little unusual for them. “With the falling loonie, we did something we hadn’t done in 30 years,” she says. “We took half of the money from the sale of our home (in U.S. dollars), converted it back to Canadian dollars and deposited it in our Canadian account. We used half of the money for the next purchase and got a U.S. dollar mortgage through the U.S. arm of the Royal Bank. There are no pre-payment penalties and half of our money is in Canada waiting for the loonie to rise. With the money we made on the conversion, we can pay off that U.S. mortgage at any time or as soon as the rising loonie makes it attractive to do so. “Buying real estate, whether in Canada or the U.S.A., is always a good investment if you pay the right price, sell at the right time and don’t do a lot of stupid custom-

izations or renovations.” Details, details Alain Forget, director of business development for RBC Bank U.S., told the Financial Post last year that

the U.S. market is highly regulated. Applying for and securing a mortgage from application to closing typically takes 45 days. As well, be prepared to furnish much more documentation for obtaining a U.S. mortgage than

would generally be required in securing a Canadian mortgage. Additionally, “all in” costs in the U.S. can be higher than in Canada because of required third-party expenses such as taxes, titling and insurance that vary by state but are typically around three percent. “U.S. mortgage interest is compounded monthly, while in Canada it is compounded semi-annually,” he added. U.S. banks may charge international buyers what is called the “foreign national premium,” primarily because of a lack of information on their credit history. This premium can be substantial: 1 1/2 to two percent above the interest rate. However, Sandy says there will be no prepayment penalty on the mortgage and the buyer can borrow up to 75 percent of the value of a vacation home in the U.S.

THE COST OF CONVERSION Fewer Canadians are buying property in the U.S. now that the Canadian dollar is hovering around 77 cents. Those who do might consider borrowing in the U.S. with a U.S. bank, as Rick and Sandy did. Montreal lawyer Shlomi Steve Levy says buyers can avoid converting the full amount of the loan. Instead, they only have to make the monthly payments in U.S. dollars, converting the money in relatively small amounts.

SMALL TOWN ENTREPRENEUR

Artist offers something for everyone Colourful cards and canvases provide insight into artist’s Ojibway culture BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

EMPRESS, Alta. — Nokomis prepares a sweet mix of ice cream, slushie and peach Schnapps and then parks her mobility scooter alongside a table in her shop on Empress’s Centre Street. The bold colours and dark lines of her aboriginal themed artwork are scattered throughout the That’s Empressive studio, tea room, gallery and gas bar in the eastern Alberta town, with some pieces almost concealed by boutique items and groceries. “I use it to tell a story and use it to change the conversation about natives. It gives me access to talk about this,” she said. Her pictures show elders making tea from spruce needles, native women picking berries to create their own income and lonely trappers’ wives visiting one another while husbands are in the bush. She often replied to questions by telling animated tales about her early years in northwestern Ontario, trapping and squatting in cabins built near lakes on crown land. “I never lived on a dot on the map. I was always north of the dot until I was 13,” she said. A painting of a woman and children in a canoe depicts her mother taking her newborn and Nokomis to a dentist 40 kilometres away. Nokomis said she propped up the canoe to create a lean-to shelter to sleep under at night. The trip took two days each way because her mother made frequent stops to feed her son and change the moss in the tikinagan in which she was carried. Born Ojibway and named Nokomis for the powerful being and great mother of the AnishinabeOjibway tribe, she said her parents chose to give away their treaty rights so they would be free to live life on their own terms. “(Dad) didn’t need a piece of paper to be who he was,” she said. “I was raised by a powerful mother. The results of my parents taking us away is that you are not talking to a victim.” By the time she reached school age, the family had moved closer to Kenora, Ont., to allow her to start school. By closer, it meant “if he could walk to town in an hour,” she said. Upon registering at school, her mother was told to take Nokomis to the Indian residential school, but she refused and Nokomis became the only native in the Grades 1-8

school. When she first told the teenaged teacher her name, the response was “what kind of a name is that, we’ll call you Pat.” “She was trying to get us to fit in,” Nokomis said in the teacher’s defence. The name stuck, and Nokomis is also known as Pat Donaldson. Through the years, she took an abundance of university courses, as did her brothers. She was mostly self-employed but also worked at a variety of jobs, often

just long enough to get medical benefits for the four children she and her contractor husband, Ross, raised. She said education was important to her parents. “Jobs were not open to us because we were Ojibway or female, so Dad decided his kids would be so well educated that no one would deny us jobs,” Nokomis said. Art didn’t surface until her 50s, when she chose acrylics as her medium because they were available, easy to clean up and could be

used at the kitchen table. She sold her first painting at her first show for $225. “That was all the acknowledgement I needed,” she said, citing her participation in numerous trade shows over the years. Now, at 76, with a hip in need of replacement, Nokomis is ready to slow her speed.

She said it’s time to retire and sell her business housed in the former bank building and servicing the village of 180 residents. “(Empressive) needs to be passed on to somebody who can enjoy the life and have coffee with them,” she said. karen.morrison@producer.com

ON THE FARM

Chickens come first, eggs will follow on layer hen farm The goal is to provide a nutritious diet for hens and be rewarded with large eggs, stable markets BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HAGUE, Sask. — For some married couples, living and working together would be too much. That’s not the case for Kaylin and Tyler Wiens, who spend every waking hour with one another on their egg farm located north of Saskatoon. “It’s a pretty good life,” said Kaylin. “We feel very blessed to be able to work together and to work closely with our family. A lot of people don’t get to experience that.” Everybody has their own job on the farm, so they’re not stepping on each other’s toes. “For the most part, it works pretty good,” said Tyler. “There are some days we have to work on it.”

ON THE FARM

THE WIENS FAMILY Hague, Sask. Kaylin grew up on the farm they now own jointly with her parents, Stan and Marie Fehr, her brother, Vince, and his wife, Mary, and her other brother, Gerard, and his wife, Anne. Tyler spent his childhood on a farm near Regina. His father managed the layer hen operation for O & T Farms. The family moved to Hague when Tyler was in high school and he began working on the Fehr farm, where he met his future wife. The couple was married in 2010.

Stan and Marie are still actively involved in the business but are slowly stepping back and turning it over to the next generation. Each couple owns a portion of the quota. They currently have 62,500 laying hens in two barns, which makes it the third or fourth largest egg operation in the province. They also raise approximately 140,000 pullets in two other barns. Once the pullets reach 19 weeks old, they can replace the laying hens, which have a work lifespan of one year before heading to the rendering plant. “We grow half for ourselves and the other cycle is for another producer,” said Tyler. The operation produces 60,000 eggs per day, which are picked up twice a week by Star Egg Company, which grades the eggs and distributes them to retailers such as Costco, Walmart and Loblaws. The eggs are the primary source of income for the farm but the family also grows crops on 3,000 acres and owns 80 head of cattle. Kaylin said the grain and cattle business is prone to ups and downs. “The egg layers, they’ve just offered us a lot of stability,” she said. The business has grown steadily over the years. Kaylin said it was a 20,000 layer hen operation when she was a girl. In addition to employing the three couples that own the business, the operation provides jobs for Kaylin’s nine nieces and nephews and one non-family employee. Kaylin’s job revolves around the two layer hen barns, where she collects eggs and runs the on-farm feed mill. The hens are fed a diet largely consisting of wheat, canola, peas, vegetable oil and micronutrients. The grain is sourced from local farmers and grain brokers. The goal is to provide the birds with the right mix of food they need to produce a large egg.

Kaylin supervises the layer hen barn and runs the on farm feed mill. Tyler is the mechanic who keeps equipment running.

60 grams “You’re always aiming for that 60 gram egg,” said Kaylin. “That’s what everyone buys.” Tyler’s role is the mechanic on a farm that is full of all sorts of machinery and equipment. “I try to keep everything running mechanically in the barns and on the yard,” he said. One of his biggest challenges is to keep the egg collection systems operating. “There’s a lot of moving parts in there. There’s often bearings and things that need work,” he said. He also keeps the fans, packing machines, feeding and water systems and anything else with a motor in good working order. Vince manages the pullet barns and works in the shop while Gerard grows the crops, raises the cattle and helps out where needed. With four couples running the operation, it is possible for each couple to have some time off. Kaylin and Tyler used that freedom to attend a couple of events this year as the Saskatchewan representatives of Egg Farmers of Canada’s Young Farmer Program. In February, they were at the Canadian Young Farmers’ Forum in Vancouver, a gathering of young farmers from all sectors of the agricultural economy. In July, they attended the Egg Farmers of Canada summer meeting in Mont-Tremblant, Que., where they met other young egg farmers. “That was really neat getting to know farmers across Canada,” said Kaylin. Tyler said he learned a lot and gained new perspectives by talking to fellow farmers from other provinces. “Even just talking to each other about how to do things, you get insight,” he said. They plan to incorporate some of those lessons into the business so it can continue to flourish and provide employment opportunities for the next generation of farmers. sean.pratt@producer.com

ummer is the season that gives us permission to do whatever makes us happy without feeling guilty for slowing our pace. I always look forward to kicking back in a lawn chair and embracing the environment. The lingering scent of flowers now in full bloom is my reward for planting in the spring.

The outdoor social gatherings are times of uninterrupted catching up. Part of the pleasure is sharing meals roasted over a grill and teamed with the fresh produce. Watermelon slices, garden peas and sweet cherries are staples, but lately my must haves include fresh chilled blueberries. They are high in fibre and antioxidants and include resveratrol and vitamins C and K. Add blueberries to your yogurt, pancake batter, smoothies and cereal.

RODEO ACTION

Bruised bodies, egos part of cowboy culture, western heritage Small town rodeo showcases gritty cowboy culture of southwestern Saskatchewan BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

MAPLE CREEK, Sask. — Marg Perrin watched as the bulls were loaded into the chutes at the Maple Creek Pro Rodeo in July. As a member of the Girls’ International Rodeo League in the 1960s, she participated in every event from bareback bronc riding to barrel racing to bull riding. “It only looks scary, but once you’ve done it, it’s not,” said the 67-year-old rancher. “I was horse crazy,” said Marg, who grew up in Saskatoon and mar r ied Maple Creek, Sask., rancher and saddle bronc rider Ken Perrin. “I always said I wanted to marry a cowboy or a rancher and I got both.” Ken agreed that marrying someone who shares his passion for horses has meant the rodeo tradition is strong in the Perrin family. “It’s just in your blood,” said Ken, who recently gave his bronc riding saddle to his 14-year-old grandson. The Perrins, like many local ranchers, gather at the annual rodeo each July to see who will carry on the cowboy culture of southwestern Saskatchewan. “A cowboy is somebody who has integrity and confidence in doing what they’re doing,” said Marg. Many of the men and women on the pro-rodeo circuit, which moves to Maple Creek from the Calgary Stampede, are from Alberta and the United States. However, it’s often the local riders who Maple Creek fans are watching. Rayel Jamieson, 15, who carried a flag in the rodeo’s grand entry, said it means a lot to her community when the rodeo comes to town. She said it’s a unique culture that prizes competitiveness and strength, yet also values those who help others out and step up when needed. “It makes us feel good to see the

cowboy culture and our western heritage being carried on,” she said. Jamieson, who has been going to the rodeo and watching the girls ride into the grand entry since childhood, was eager to participate. “I like to help out with the rodeo wherever I can because it’s what I can do to help the committee,” said Jamieson, who works as a lifeguard in summer and rides horses at her Cypress Hills area ranch every chance she gets. She learned her equine skills from her grandfather and her parents and is hopeful that her generation can carry on the rodeo traditions. “When you see the younger kids at the rodeo, you always wonder what they’re going to do in the future. We could have the next rodeo champion right here in our town.”

FALL ON THE HORIZON

August: time to enjoy the garden and learn from others SOWING SEEDS

August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color.” — Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting

LORNA MCILROY “The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of

hile keeping busy with late summer gardening tasks, take time to appreciate summer’s bounty before we slide into autumn. Breathe in the early morning fragrance, admire the fruits of your labour and photograph your yard so that you can repeat the good decisions next year and tweak the less successful. With the chill of autumn coming, it is wise to stop fertilizing roses and

perennials because you do not want to encourage lush growth that will not survive the winter’s cold. Hungry annuals will still appreciate their regular feeding. Continue to deadhead annuals and perennials to encourage an extended bloom season unless you are intending to save seeds for next year. Remember that seeds from hybrid varieties cannot be successfully saved. September will be the best time to transplant peonies. Other perennials, shrubs and trees can also be moved in the fall as they enter dormancy. This month, also take time to admire the neighbouring vistas,

join a local garden tour or check out agricultural events across the Prairies. It can be a great learning experience to see what can be grown in your area. Agricultural societies and garden clubs are holding their bench and flower shows, so you may want to enter your prized petunias, strawberry preserves or broccoli. Take time to investigate a specialty garden such as the Piper Creek Trial Garden for dahlias s o u t h o f R e d D e e r. R e g i o na l research stations or universities often offer an open house, plant sale or agricultural field day. In addition, support local farmers markets and U-pick operations.

FIELD TOUR

Study tracks irrigation timing for soybeans The longer growing season for soybeans and fababeans mean more water is required BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

OUTLOOK, Sask. — Knowing when and how much to water fababeans and soybeans are key questions for Dale Tomasiewicz. The irrigation agronomist with Agriculture Canada is carrying out an irrigation study, and he said the answers are more complex than some might think because of differing soil moisture holding capacities and types of seasons. Pulse crops were the theme during the annual field day at the Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Development Centre in Outlook July 14. While lentils have centre stage in the province this year, dryland and irrigation production of fababeans and soybeans is slowly expanding. Tomasiewicz’s three-year study is funded by Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. Tests have shown so far that showing that the two crops are productive under irrigated conditions. Now in its second year, the study includes irrigation treatments that impose drought and excess moisture at various times during the season. It will help define moisture conditions that each crop is best adapted to or tolerant of for dryland and irrigation management. “That will not only help us develop irrigation management recommendations for the crop, but it also tells us about where in the province for dryland conditions the crops are particularly adapted based on the moisture conditions throughout the province,” he said.

Dale Tomasiewicz, an irrigation agronomist with Agriculture Canada, spoke about research being done on irrigated fababean and soybean during the Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Development Centre Field Day in Outlook, Sask., July 14. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO Admittedly, 127 millimetres of precipitation in the Outlook area during the first two weeks of July has curtailed the researcher’s midseason drought stress, which he said is not going to happen. “Five inches (100 millimetres) up to the first of July and five inches (100 mm) since the first of July and we’re only on the 14th.” He said the plentiful rain is good for reducing the need for irrigation, but it has negative effects, including patchy lodging in fababeans. But since the study has seven different moisture treatment plots with two varieties for each, Tomasiewicz doesn’t expect all of them to work out every year. “So far from last year and this year’s work it doesn’t look like our excess moisture, at least visibly, is having any negative effect,” he

said. “I think the reality is both of these crops are fairly tolerant of excess moisture unless it gets to the point of actual poor drainage where

I think the reality is both of these crops are fairly tolerant of excess moisture unless it gets to the point of actual poor drainage where they’re sitting in saturated soil. DALE TOMASIEWICZ AGRONOMIST

they’re sitting in saturated soil.” Compared to other annual crops, fababeans and soybeans will use about 50 more mm of moisture by the end of the year because of their

longer growing seasons. “It’s the duration of the canopy and the length of the season that you have to keep it watered that’s the big difference,” he said. “Keep in mind that water use in a day in September is not the same as water use in a day in early July. If it hits 25 degrees on the 10th of September your water use is going to be much less than 25 degrees on the 10th of July because the day is just so much shorter.” He said pulses need some encouragement during their development because they tend to stay green into September and run into problems with frost. “You definitely want the crop to rely on the stored sub-soil moisture for that last period to try and encourage it along to maturity and generally at that stage of the season

there is a good rooting system in there,” he said. Because soybeans and fababeans are both later maturing, Tomasiewicz said they are concerned about a heavy frost occurring in late August. “That’s happened in the past in Manitoba, for example, where you’d have the acreages increasing a lot and then they’d have a setback like an early frost and it would go down,” he said. However, he said breeding efforts are helping to lesson those worries. “When we get that heavy August frost it’s going to be a setback for things, but I think the (newer) varieties are getting good enough that it won’t kill the whole crop,” he said. “People will still recognize that there is still potential.” william.dekay@producer.com

WET WEATHER

Fusarium exciting for pathologist, costly for growers While recent wet weather is ideal for researchers studying disease resistant durum, growers need to scout fields and consider fungicides BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

OUTLOOK, Sask. — Recent wet weather should have farmers concerned about a 2014 repeat of fusarium head blight in their durum. However, it has Saskatchewan researchers eager for the chance to carry out more studies of the disease. “Conditions don’t look too great right now for (less) fusarium, but it looks good if you’re a pathologist,” said Randy Kutcher during the annual field day at the CanadaSaskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre (CSIDC) in Outlook July 14. “This rain has been ideal for field trials but not for growers whose (durum wheat) spikes have been just emerging and flowers are opening up,” said Kutcher, a University of Saskatchewan researcher and program chair at the Ministry of Agriculture Strategic Research program.

Kutcher and his team are in the first of a three-year study to see if genetic resistance alone can control fusarium head blight, or if fungicides combined w ith genetic resistance provides better control. He said a single durum variety even moderately resistant to fusarium does not exist, so transferring resistance characteristics from other wheat varieties is difficult. “We don’t just need resistance. We also want to keep other agronom y a n d q u a l i t y t r a i t s ,” s a i d researcher Gurcharn Brar. “The more genes you introduce, the better resistance you will have. It’s quantitative,” he said. Tests are underway with three different genes and the combination of each, as are tests looking into the interaction of those different genes with fungicides. Kutcher said the 2014 epidemic was a catalyst that got scientists, industry and government started

Researchers hope to control fusarium by combining genetic resistance with fungicides. | FILE PHOTOS

to look specifically at fungicide controls in durum, which until now has not had extensive research compared to hard red spring wheat and winter wheat. Funding partners include the

Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, Western Grains Research Foundation and Sask Wheat at research plots in Outlook, Indian Head, Scott and Saskatoon. Because it’s so difficult to know when to apply fungicide most years, one of the research goals is to develop recommendations for better disease management. Treatments include durum seeded at a low and high seeding rate and the fungicide Caramba applied at five

different growth stages. Kutcher said producers should combine their control measures by practicing good rotations and using both a fungicide and a resistant variety. “If you put all three together you can get reasonable effective control. Anyone on its own probably isn’t sufficient if the disease is severe.” The Outlook area received 127 millimetres of rain and warm temperatures during the two weeks leading up to the field day. During the event, Kutcher said if similar weather conditions persist, the province could experience a crop similar to the 2014, which had widespread yield and quality loss. “That’s a really high risk factor w ith a disease like fusar ium because it infects when those spikes are coming out of the boots and just when the flowers are opening up.” william.dekay@producer.com

BAKERY BUSINESS

POPULATION CONTROL

Sweet tooths find satisfaction

Sask. takes aim against wild boar

Culbert family has proven they can handle the heat and don’t plan to get out of the kitchen BY JEFFREY CARTER

BY KAREN BRIERE

FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

REGINA BUREAU

GODERICH, Ont. — Not even a natural disaster was enough to snuff out the historic bakery oven that’s been part of this southern Ontario community for the past 135 years. An F3 tornado, the strongest to strike Ontario in many years, tore in from Lake Huron on Aug. 21, 2011, a Sunday afternoon when the business was thankfully closed. Goderich’s unique octagonal downtown core looked like a war zone in its wake. One person died and 37 were injured. Culbert’s Bakery was extensively damaged, its store front obliterated. However, the heart of the business, the brick oven, managed to survive the 320 km-h winds, although the flame went out for the first time in more than a century. Owner Darin Culbert was initially concerned that the 18 by 25-foot oven with its 18-inch thick brick walls would collapse on itself once it was allowed to go cold. Repairs, renovations and upgrades were completed 10 months later, and the business reopened. Culbert said customers were lined up outside the front doors at 6 a.m. “We’re been around here forever. We became even more famous after the tornado. As it turned out, it was a real boost for us,” he said. “I’m the third generation. The guy that just walked in here is my son, Evan, the fourth generation.” The property on which the bakery sits was bought from the Canada Company in 1832. David Cantelon founded the business in 1877 and four years later built the oven that continues to be used today. The Culbert family became involved in the 1930s when Darin’s grandfather began to learn the trade as an employee. He bought the business in 1942 and it’s been in the Culbert family ever since. Few changes have been made to the oven other than a switch to natural gas from blue anthracite coal and the addition of temperature controls in 1988. “There’s not many of these left, but it still pays the bills,” Darin said. “ T hat ov e n ha s o n l y b e e n turned off once. It’s always hot.” Experience is required to operate the oven. There are hot and cold spots, and Culbert and his employees need to know where to place each product on the interior bricks. The first items to go in are the last to come out; the last in, first out. The cycle is repeated up to 15 times a day when summer business is booming. Culbert said his knowledge of when to remove trays of goods f ro m t h e ov e n h a s b e c o m e instinctual. It’s the matter of his inner clock and sense of smell. He doesn’t have much time for sleep. He’s first into the shop, just downstairs from his apartment, around 1 a.m. Employees —

Apart from its conversion to natural gas from coal and the addition of temperature controls, few changes have been made to the Goderich, Ont., bakery’s 139-year-old oven, says Darin Culbert. Pastry temptations have made Culbert’s Bakery a landmark business. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTOS

Built in 1881, the bakery’s oven has only been turned off once, during a tornado in 2011 there’s a dozen or more in the summer — start coming in an hour later. “I grew up in it. Basically I started when I was 15 and now I’m 51,” he said. “It’s getting better now because my son knows a lot too. He’s starting to take the reins.” Recipes, which include ingredients, weights, temperature and timing, have been written down. However, some key details are only in Culbert’s head. The bakery uses high gluten flour from Alberta that is bought from Parrish and Heimbecker. As ingredients have evolved over the years, so have the recipes.

The results are breads, rolls, cakes, muffins, tarts, pies and doughnuts that excel in a community that loves its sweet baked goods. Remarkably, three franchise doughnut shops also operate in Goderich, all part of a chain familiar to Canadians. Goderich has a population of 7,500 and serves the surrounding rural area and a significant tourist industry. Located on Lake Huron at the mouth of the Maitland River, the community is a port town that accommodates lake and ocean-going freighters, some of which carry salt that has been extracted from beneath the town for more than 150 years.

Saskatchewan regulations have been changed to allow hunters to hunt feral or free-ranging wild boar without a licence. More than 60 rural municipalities have reported wild boar at large, and they have become a particular problem in the Moose Mountain area around Kenosee Lake. Teams of specialized hunters have been trying to control the population for years. Now the government has lifted the licence requirement in a bid to help producers protect livestock, property and people. Hunters are still required to ask permission to hunt on private property and follow all other hunting laws. Amendments to both the wildlife regulations and the stray animal regulations should result in better control, said agriculture minister Lyle Stewart. Local RMs that administered the stray animal regulations are no longer responsible to capture and contain wild boar. “The move to regulate escaped wild boar as exotic wildlife instead of stray livestock enables landowners and producers to better protect their livestock, crops and pasture,” Stewart said. The province said stricter fencing requirements for farmed wild boar should help reduce the number that escape. There is also a feral wild boar control program administered by Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. Under that program, landowners can contact local crop insurance offices when boar are sighted and the corporation will organize a hunt. Wild boar were introduced from Asia and Europe as domestic livestock but some escaped and have successfully thrived in wild areas. They are notoriously tough with few predators and strong reproductive capability. Sows can produce four to 12 piglets per litter and can have two litters per year. They cause extensive damage to crops, wildlife habitat and other areas as they root up ground while foraging for food. The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities said it was pleased with the changes. “We need to make sure their population is kept under control and are hopeful these regulatory changes will achieve that,” said SARM president Ray Orb. Saskatchewan’s agriculture ministry said there is no particular map of where hunters could find wild boar, although southeastern Saskatchewan has been a hot spot. “These amendments are not intended to create a new hunting opportunity, but to remove regulatory road blocks to better enable hunters to take part in controlling this invasive species,” the ministry said. Anyone interested in hunting wild boar should contact local RM offices or conservation officers. karen.briere@producer.com

VALUE-ADDED PROCESSING

Co-op keeps Alberta surplus eggs at home Processor accepts eggs that don’t make the grade, turning them into liquid eggs for bakeries, noodle and food makers BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Eggs purchased from the grocery store look uniform, but not every egg makes the grade for table egg purchase and use. At the same time, large bakeries, food companies and pet food makers need vast quantities of liquid eggs for their products. Enter the Egg Processing Innovations Co-operative (EPIC) based in Lethbridge. Now in its third year of operation, EPIC is owned by 130 quota-holding, Alberta-based shareholders, most of them Hutterite colonies. Millions of eggs are delivered each month, most of them Grade A, but within that grading some are of a size, shape or colour not desired for table use. As well, some eggs are contracted direct from producers for use at EPIC without going through the grading process used for table eggs. “The eggs that don’t really command a market, typically your small eggs, medium eggs, anything that may be slightly off grade, stained or cracked shell, slightly odd shape to it, will come to a processing plant,” EPIC plant manager Brendan Bassendowski said during a recent tour of the facility. Before EPIC was established, such eggs would be shipped to British Columbia or Manitoba for processing into liquid egg products, he added. “Part of the rationale behind producers investing in a valueadded processing plant was the desire to keep those surplus eggs, produced in Alberta, being sold in the Alberta market, to keep that surplus here in Alberta and add value to it,” he said. “Because in the past we would have seen the majority of the surplus Alberta eggs shipped out to a different province that had a processing station.” Most of the eggs processed at EPIC are sold back to Alberta buyers, he added. And most of those are large-scale bakeries, noodle makers, food companies and pet food operations. The co-op does not sell its products at retail. On this day, the EPIC cooler held 2.5 million eggs destined for breaking and processing either as whole liquid eggs or as separate batches of yolks and whites. “At this plant we process brown eggs,” Bassendowski said. “We process white eggs. From a nutritional standpoint, those eggs are identical, and for a processor like us, the colour of the shell is irrelevant because we’re only interested in what’s on the inside.” However, the eggs are labelled according to whether they are conventionally produced or come from cage-free operations. “A few of our customers require only cage free eggs in their products, and we’re able to work with our producers and our owners, who happen to be producers, to ensure that we always have a steady supply of free run, free range or any type of eggs that we need.” Bassendowski and the co-op members have been watching moves by major food companies

ABOVE: The Egg Processing Innovations Co-operative in Lethbridge primarily processes eggs that are small, medium or of an odd shape that disqualifies them from the large and extra large table egg market. The eggs are closely examined before they go into the breaking line, after which they are either processed as whole liquid eggs or separated into yolks and whites.

toward cage-free eggs. As primarily an ingredient supplier, it has yet to impact EPIC significantly, but the writing appears to be on the wall. “If liquid egg is the fifth ingredient in your product’s ingredient deck, you may not yet be feeling that pressure and still looking for the lowest cost alternative,” Bassendowski said. “But I think we recognize that it’s a matter of time. EPIC is positioned very well in terms of having access to free run egg supply… We feel that we’re ready when it comes to that.” The Canadian Food Inspection Agency-approved plant has 17 employees, many of whom rotate between jobs during the eighthour day. One of those jobs is checking the cracked eggs for internal defects,

which requires concentration as eight eggs per second pass the sight line. Once broken, the liquid eggs are cooled and held in storage until ready for further processing. They are pasteurized and packaged in sizes ranging from pails to 10 kilogram bags to 1,000 kg totes. Product is generally shipped direct to the customer with a shelf life of 28 days. Bassendowski said the co-op is also trying to develop a market for eggshells, and a potential partnership is in sight. Some of the shells, which are essentially calcium carbonate, are also used as fertilizer and some go to the landfill. barb.glen@producer.com

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new pest heading north in Alberta and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moving fast. Although a regular in southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan, the pea leaf weevil has now been sighted as far north as Athabasca, Alberta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a real range expansion,â&#x20AC;? says Scott Meers, insect management specialist with Alberta Agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concerning issue for the Highway 2 corridor in Alberta. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen some very significant numbers, especially in the Red Deer and Lacombe area.â&#x20AC;? As damage from the pea leaf weevil

shelterbelts or perennial legume fields in late April/early May. It begins feeding on available leguminous greens and then moves into pea or fava bean fields to reproduce. The pea leaf weevil is a five millimetre, slender, greyish-brown insect with a short snout. Three light-coloured stripes run along its abdomen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an easy insect to spot, as it drops to the ground on approach, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to see. Evidence of its presence comes from crescent-shaped notches on pea leaves. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the feeding of the adult pea leaf weevils that causes enough

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so critical in high organic soils, if the soil produces lots of nitrogen,â&#x20AC;? Meers says. Should farmers then place more nitrogen with their pea seed? Meers thinks that would be contradictory, as peas are usually planted for improved soil fertility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The implications of the pea leaf weevil are for this crop and the next one too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more subtle,â&#x20AC;? Meers says. Farmers should consider that when thinking about pea leaf weevil control. The economic benefits of a healthy pulse crop extend past the current year. The pea leaf weevil is one of the longest living insects A female pea

MANAGING PEA LEAF WEEVIL Here are six ways to manage pea leaf weevil, as listed on the Alberta Agriculture and Forestry website. 1. Plant early to maximize yields and potentially escape the weevil in cold springs. 2. No-till cropping systems, integrated pest management systems and good crop rotations are recommended. 3. Use inoculants and adequate levels of fertilizer to maximize crop yields. 4. Registered seed treatments are recommended if high populations of pea l f il i h h b f

Earls is just the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tip of the icebergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Consumers are starting to call the tune about how cattle are raised, and the sector needs to respond, say industry observers

group of cattle ranchers is suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture, claiming their checkoff dollars are being used to promote Canadian and other imported beef. The Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America â&#x20AC;&#x201D; best known as R-CALF â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also claims imported beef is â&#x20AC;&#x153;less safe and less wholesome.â&#x20AC;? But the lawsuit filed earlier this month is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a fairly typical R-CALF action, accompanied by pretty typical R-CALF rhetoric,â&#x20AC;? said

onsumers are demanding sustainable beef and many want it sooner rather than later. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a key lesson from the Earls Restaurant controversy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and evidence producers need to change their thinking, say experts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing the cattle industry has to do is stop believing that there is no money to be made with niche markets. There is money to be made,â&#x20AC;? said Sylvain Charlebois, one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most well-known experts on the food industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second thing the industry has to do is come up with a strategy. Define what sustainable beef means and execute a strategy as quickly as possible â&#x20AC;?

Why farmers should care what consumers think Building strong trust with consumers is critical to the success of modern farming BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cherilyn Nagel, a grain farmer and agricultural advocate from Mossbank, Sask., used to dismiss consumer concerns about farming practices. She thought earning public trust was unimportant and there was no value in providing credible information about farming to Canadians. Farmers had other things to think about, Nagel told those at the May 31-June 1 Public Trust Summit.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers are too damn busy to care about what Joe Consumer thinks about what we farm and how we farm it,â&#x20AC;? she said to an audience temporarily stunned into silence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing food and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adopting challenging new technologies that take innovation to an unimaginable level. Farmers are under enormous pressure to maintain our operations, diversify our farms and even more pressure to maintain these farms that are three, four and five generations.

A so-called smart beehive could change how apiarists manage their colonies and treat mites

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CESME, Turkey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The two largest buyers of Canadian lentils in Turkey say there is significant risk that trade will come to a grinding halt if a looming issue is not quickly resolved. Turkey has zero tolerance for shipments contaminated with unapproved genetically modified crops. T h e i m p o r t e r s s a y Tu r k i s h authorities could easily reject a red lentil shipment for containing GM canola dust, and that would be the beginning of the end of $375 million in annual trade with Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second largest lentil customer. Abdullah Ozdemir, general manager of the Arbel Group, a subsidiary of AGT Food and Ingredients and Turkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest importer of Canadian lentils, said the strict policy poses significant risk to importers and exporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is now a headache in Turkey. The ministry of agriculture is making problems,â&#x20AC;? he said through an interpreter.

lants modified using the controversial gene editing technology known as CRISPR/Cas-9 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sailing past regulatory scrutiny to the marketplace in Canada as they currently do in the U.S. While the U.S. regulatory system has determined plants developed using CRISPR are not GMOs and therefore do not fall under the regulatory process, Canada takes a much broader approach to assessing new plant-modification technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Canada the approach to the regulatory oversight is based on the novelty of the product rather than the means of development,â&#x20AC;? said Cindy Pearson, national manager of the Plant Biosafety Office with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is a new trait in there, then it would trigger the need for a premarket assessment.â&#x20AC;?

PORK MARKETING

Alberta pork pleases Japanese palates Marketing group says barley fed hogs produce a taste that Japanese customers desire BY RICHARD SMITH FREELANCE WRITER

TOKYO, Japan — Alberta pork was showcased again this year at Japan’s annual FoodEx international food fair near Tokyo. It was the second year Alberta pork has had a presence at the fair. However, the meat has been coming to this country for 35 years, said Shoji Nomura, Japan marketing director with Canada Pork International. Agriculture Canada says Aberta exported 39,278 tonnes of pork to Japan last year, including offal, which was up 12.32 percent from 34,970 tonnes in 2014. Frozen pork has traditionally been most common, but imports of chilled product have been gradually increasing in the past five years. “Alberta pigs are basically fed barley, which results in meat that meets the taste of Japanese consumers, something that is increasingly recognized by the Japanese market,” Nomura said. Backs, collar butt, belly, tenderloin and picnic shoulder are in the most demand, Nomura said. CPI and the Japan Alberta Office have been promoting Alberta pork using social media such as CookPad to promote recipes that are suitable to Japanese tastes as well

ANIMAL WELFARE

Comments sought on laying hen draft code of practice The animal care council hopes to have an updated code outlining changes on hen housing and industry transition this year BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

About 500 comments have been filed in response to the draft code of practice for care and handling of pullets and laying hens. The public comment period closes Aug. 29, so many more responses are anticipated and welcomed, said National Farm Animal Care Council general manager Jackie Wepruk. “The bulk of submissions generally tend to come in the latter half of the public comment period because, of course, the document is substantial and so it takes time for stakeholders to review it, absorb what’s being said and then put together their own submission,” said Wepruk. “I don’t think it’s any surprise that we expect this to be a very busy public comment period because of the media and public profile around the whole cage-free debate….” The draft version of the code addresses the hen housing issue and includes guidance on transitioning the egg industry from primarily conventionally caged housing to enriched or free-run systems. Egg Farmers of Canada, which is involved in code development

along with other groups and organizations, committed earlier this year to replace conventional cages with more humane housing over the next 20 years. It plans to switch at least half of C a n a d a’s e g g o p e r a t i o n s t o enriched or free-run housing within the next eight years. The draft code of practice thus includes a proposed transition strategy to balance public desires

to phase out conventional cages with industry’s ability to make that change “in an orderly manner that is practical, feasible, cost-efficient for farmers and consumers,” according to the draft code’s introduction. Wepruk said the need to acknowledge and include material on housing transitions added a level of complexity to the code development process and the tasks of the

17-person committee working on it. “Their obligation, of course, is to totally focus on the welfare of hens and, of course keep in mind that a good life for hens fundamentally requires that farmers are able to deliver on those standards, so that has required a really robust deliberation amongst the code development committee,” she said. The draft code includes requirements and recommendations for more space per bird than is standard in conventional housing. That will require new barns, and construction of those will have to be organized and staggered so that the needed level of egg production continues. As well, pullet housing must change so the birds can make an easy transition to enriched or freerun systems. “When you go cage-free, you have to also adapt your pullet barn to make it cage-free. You cannot raise a pullet in a cage and expect it to work in a free-run facility,” said Darrel Mendel, the egg barn manager at Brant Hutterite Colony near Brant, Alta., which has just built a new free-run laying barn. The draft code notes that this is the first time in Canada that housing standards for enriched systems have been defined. Enriched sys-

tems provide larger cages for hens that have specific nesting and perching areas. Hen housing may have the highest public profile, but the draft code also includes requirements and recommendations for feed and water, lighting, litter management, bird health, handling, transportation and euthanasia. The draft Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pullets and Laying Hens can be found at www. nfacc.ca/codes-of-practice/poultry-layers. The development committee’s goal is to finalize the code by the end of this year, but Wepruk said that will depend on public comments and how they affect the draft version. barb.glen@producer.com

WEATHER FORECASTING

Building the rain gauge of the future A Star Wars style satellite, antique airplane and a flock of ground truthers seek to improve weather forecasts BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

CARMAN, Man. — Hitch a high tech NASA satellite to a 1930s DC3 aircraft, add 10 teams of students and scientists prowling southern Manitoba fields and you’ll have a highly accurate climate prediction model. The project encompasses organizations such as NASA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Manitoba. It’s called Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), and while the title may not sound too exciting, the mission itself is, especially for prairie farmers. The NASA-SMAP-USDA satellite takes images that document soil moisture, and SMAP scientists use the data to build better, more accurate weather forecast models. The intent is simple, but the technology is not. Building SMAP climate models involves images from the NASA satellite launched in 2015, images from a low-flying DC3, more images from a lower-flying drone and a large volume of data gathered on the ground by an array of people and their instruments. Soil moisture is a result of weather, but it also works the other way around. Weather is a result of moisture already in the soil, says Michael Cosh, USDA co-ordinator on the SMAP project. Cosh is stationed at the remote sensing lab in Maryland, but he has spent time in Manitoba fields working with the projects, groundtruthing component. “Measuring soil moisture is now one of our (USDA) top priorities because it affects our climate so significantly,” Cosh said.

This NASA satellite measures sunlight reflecting off the surface of the Earth as a means of determining soil moisture. The satellite has focused its attention on southern Manitoba this summer. | NASA ILLUSTRATION “The benefit will be better weather forecasting and better climate modelling in terms of flood forecasting, reservoir management, irrigation, assessing drought conditions and understanding the surface of the Earth. “When sunlight hits the soil, it can do only one of two things. If there’s moisture in the soil, sunlight causes it to evaporate into the atmosphere. If there’s no moisture in the soil, then the sunlight warms the soil.” The obvious result is that heat build-up in drier soil raises the temperature of the air above the soil and causes air movement. As well, the evaporating moisture will increase the amount of moisture in the air, which determines the immediate weather and longer-term climate. “The science of it is that we have a water balance and an energy balance,” Cosh said. “The energy balance is sunlight coming through the atmosphere, hitting the Earth and doing some-

thing. Some energy is reflected, some is absorbed. “Of the energy that’s absorbed, the first thing it will do is cause water to evaporate from the soil and cause transpiration by plants. The second thing the energy will do is heat the soil. We are gaining a better understanding of these things by using satellite imagery.” The SMAP satellite, which was launched last year, originally used an active sensor that sent and received radar signals and a passive sensor that simply worked like a camera, collecting light signals from the Earth’s surface. However, the active sensor stopped working shortly after it went into service, so the project is continuing with only the passive system. “We did get some data from the active sensor, and the airplane uses an active sensor also, so it’s not as bad as it may seem,” he said. “Plus, the NASA people are starting to collect active data from

another satellite with a C-band sensor. C-band is another of the frequencies that can be used for high resolution soil moisture mapping. The Aqua satellite gave us soil

moisture information with C-band as far back as 2002.” Cosh said the satellites look for brightness temperature. People see red, green and blue, while near infrared is just past the red light

waves, which some animals can see, but people can’t. The cameras see near infrared. There are also ultra high frequencies that can be seen only with special equipment. The L-band is located at 1.2 gigahertz and is the band SMAP uses to detect soil moisture. Researchers can monitor these bands, correlate them to real data collected on the ground and then use a satellite to measure soil moisture. L-band has the least interference from vegetation. Cosh said agencies around the world are running dozens of similar projects, but a major drawback is that they use many different sensors and formats for handling data. This means scientists cannot easily share results. That’s bad news because a climate modelling researcher wants as many inputs as possible, but there must be a common base line.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE To deal with this issue, Oklahoma State University bought samples of all the common sensors used around the globe and tested them against each other to establish a common language. The benefit of the OSU initiative is that a climatologist developing a forecast model for a specific region can access a vast network of data from other regions of the globe that have similar characteristics. “For example, a farmer in Manitoba scheduling his irrigation doesn’t care about South Africa,” Cosh said. “He may be working with a good model that’s been made better because it includes relevant data from South Africa, but all he cares about is monitoring, modelling and forecasting on his own farm. A common global base line lets the researchers pull in more data when they construct these models. Oklahoma provides researchers with a standard location to study these different sensors and systems from around the world. “We’ve seen that some sensors are very good at getting the mean numbers right, but when they get out to the extremes of very dry or very wet, they don’t perform as well.” Cosh said SMAP has a small network of core validation sites in North America, such as the one in southern Manitoba that has been running the past two summers. These sites are used to confirm and calibrate information from the larger number of data collection sites scattered around the continent. There are parallel core validation sites in other parts of the world, including Argentina and Europe. Once scientists know that a core site has reliable soil moisture information, they can run trials to see if

This feedback lets them tweak the algorithms, which allows them to account for soil type, surface roughness, vegetation and a complex maze of other factors. “Once we’ve accounted for all other factors, the only thing left for the satellite to deal with is raw soil moisture,” Cosh said. “Tweaking the algorithms is an ongoing process. We have a little more than one year of data so far. Every time we get more data, we fine tune the algorithms again. “To get the best data, we run something called an intensive

observation period. We had two of these operations in the Carman area of southern Manitoba this summer, one in June and one in July. We’ll have the NASA DC3 flying the same area the satellite is flying and the drone is flying, all at the same time. “Also at the same time, we have the ground crews walking a predetermined pattern through the fields collecting ground data to verify the data we get from above. This lets us quantify truth at the ground and further refine the algorithm.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

terns of our planet are revealed.” These secret patterns are precisely what I am seeing after this July morning as the first colours of dawn appear on Winnipeg’s skyline. I am a summer student in the University of Manitoba’s soil science department, preparing for another day of field work on the SMAPVEX16-MB project.

The project calibrates the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite launched by NASA in January 2015. It orbits 685 kilometres above the Earth and produces maps every two to three days of the moisture in the top five centimetres of soil around the planet. In Manitoba, the project is coordinated by Paul Bullock at the U of M. “I have lots of big hopes,” Bullock said about how the soil moisture maps will be used in the future. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Soil moisture is linked closely to pest and disease prevalence. “Knowing how those conditions are changing on a near real time basis can provide people with a heads up on these issues in larger areas,” he said. “(SMAP will) pick up hot spots where there might be problems.” This morning, our moisture sampling day begins in Bullock’s lab. Ten teams of people file in to pick up their equipment and any special instructions about field conditions and logistics before loading up and driving to their assigned fields near Carman and Elm Creek, Man. Our ground crews, each comprising two or three people, are made up of a diverse group of students and professionals from a variety of organizations: • Manitoba, Guelph and Sherbrooke universities • Agriculture Canada • Environment Canada • Canadian Space Agency • Jet Propulsion Laboratory • Goddard Space Flight Center Over a four-week period this summer, we collected samples and monitored conditions in 50 representative fields located within one 36 km pixel of the satellite. Co-ordination is the name of the game in this project. Measurements are taken simultaneously from space, air, ground level and below ground.

SMAP by itself is not going to be a magic bullet. It has to be combined with other data and information to build a useful picture of soil moisture in space and time PAUL BULLOCK U OF M PROJECT CO-ORDINATOR

Radiometer and radar technology power many of our measurements. Radiometers detect the energy given off naturally by the Earth, while radar works by sending out a signal and measuring the back scatter that returns. Wet and dry soil respond differently with both types of technology. When the equipment is calibrated properly, we can accurately document the amount of moisture present in the soil. The SMAP satellite carries a radiometer and provides information on the community scale. Overhead, our Second World War era DC3 carries the Passive/Active L-band Sensor (PALS), which is equipped with radiometer and radar. The DC3 flies grid patterns over the sampling sites at one and three km altitudes to provide information on a field scale. We also fly a drone equipped with a special camera that measures five wavelengths to determine the vegetation biomass water content on each field at a 10 cm resolution. Data collection On the ground, we have a network of permanent and temporary weather stations on the 50 sampling fields. The stations have surface and underground probes that constantly measure and record soil moisture. There are also two ground based radiometers. All the instruments and methods

However, it’s important to obtain a direct measurement of the amount of moisture in the soil if you expect all the other data to be of any value. The only way to do this is to physically collect a core of soil and compare the core’s wet weight to the oven dried weight. This is where our 10 ground crews enter the picture. We’re in the field at 6 a.m. and navigate to our first sampling point using handheld GPS. This early start allows us to beat the heat of the day. More importantly, it ensures that our data collection is synchronized with the satellite overpass and the flight of the DC3 so when all is said and done, the calibration of the satellite will be as precise as possible. Armed with a backpack full of tools, we walk a mile loop through each field and stop at 16 points along the way to collect data. “The key is everybody has to do the same thing, and they have to do it in a tight time window,” Bullock said. “At the end of each day we have a pretty full data board.” Ground crews collect three types of measurements on each field: • Soil cores are taken from specified points on the field. Later in the day, the lab team will weigh the cores before putting them in the oven to dry for two days. • Thermal infrared sensors and thermometers are used to find the temperatures of the sunlit and shaded soil and crop surfaces and the temperature at various depths in the soil. • A portable moisture probe, the POGO, collects data and is connected to an iPod to record information. This instrument was designed for golf courses when making irrigation decisions, but it serves our purposes quite well. By the time we finish one sampling day, the entire ground crew has walked 50 fields to collect 100 soil cores, 1,200 temperatures and 2,700 POGO readings. Collecting information about soil moisture is not enough to properly calibrate the satellite because soil moisture is affected by “noise” from the overlying vegetation and the roughness of the soil surface.

We have to measure and subtract the effects of this noise to produce maps that show only soil moisture. Soil roughness stays the same throughout the growing season, so we measured roughness values only once after planting this spring. However, vegetation is constantly growing and changing. The days we aren’t sampling soil moisture are dedicated to measuring the moisture and structure of crops on our fields. We stop at three points in each

field to record average crop height, take fish-eye pictures of the crop rows for the Leaf Area Index, take portable Crop Scan radiometer readings and bag up samples of the vegetation. A portable lab is set up in Elm Creek on these days to weigh the vegetation samples and determine the crops stages so we can begin the process of reducing the noise that SMAP receives. “Something that is really key: SMAP by itself is not going to be a

magic bullet,” said Bullock about the long-term goals of this project. “It has to be combined with other data and information to build a useful picture of soil moisture in space and time.” Our work is not done, even as the day draws to a close and we return to the university with our data sheets, soil cores and stories from the field. We look forward to another day of sampling and, some day, having a more complete understanding of global soil moisture.

SPRAYERS

Agrifac sprayer delivers consistent droplets, easy cleanout Induction system airflow allows for better coverage BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Dutch spray manufacturer Agrifac has been working to enter the Canadian market for the past year and a half, and the company is currently making its way through the Canadian agricultural trade show circuit. Its largest offering, Condor Endurance, was on display at Ag In Motion near Saskatoon last week. It holds 2,100 US gallons, offers boom lengths from 80 to 180 feet. Tom Wolf of Agrimetrix says the wide booms offer producers the opportunity to slow down and improve application without giving up productivity. A dedicated compressor powers an air induction system, which adds airflow to the spray stream and increases spray coverage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can decrease the amount of water up to 50 percent of what you usually spray. If you use 12 gallons per acre right now, you will be able to go as low as six gallons per acre and still have the same coverage, said Rob Blijdorp of Agrifac. A benefit of having an air induction system is consistent droplet size. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We call it droplet size controller,â&#x20AC;? Blijdorp said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually when you start to slow down for headlands,

Agrifacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Condor Endurance features an air induction system that controls spray pressure to prevent coarse droplets. | ROBIN BOOKER PHOTO your pressure will drop. With a conventional nozzle, droplets start to become more coarse. We start to inject more air into the system and therefore your droplet size remains more constant independent from your speed.â&#x20AC;? A recirculation boom comes standard with the Condor Endurance. Liquid constantly flows through the boom as soon as the pump is engaged. The liquid will return to the main tank when the machine is not spraying, which means operators no longer have to worry about charging their booms. Blijdorp said this feature allows

pressure to be more equal throughout the entire boom than is the case on booms without a recirculation option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have a better rate output through the boom, but also the cleanout will be much faster and more convenient because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to exit all of the chemical water through the nozzles,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can just run fresh water through the boom.â&#x20AC;? Sprayer clean-out is also helped by a self-cleaning filter and a comparably low amount of resting liquid in the pump. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This whole plumbing system only contains two gallons of water.

We made everything very compact and therefore we have a very low amount of rest liquids. You can clean out much faster and it will also save you a lot of money.â&#x20AC;? The spray pump has a 150-gallon per minute capacity. Operators can adjust track width by up to 40 inches, and all track widths between 76 inches to 181 inches are available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We make use of a walking beam concept, meaning that both right wheels are connected to each other with a beam, as well as the left wheels,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pivot on a central shaft. The same central shaft is where we do the track width adjustment.â&#x20AC;? The walking beam axle helps reduce the for ward and back movement on the boom and helps keep a uniform application on rolling terrain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a very stable ride because we have air suspension as well as a hydraulic shock absorber, and it will give us a very stable boom,â&#x20AC;? Blijdorp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we have limited movement in the boom, we are able to go to wider boom widths.â&#x20AC;? The Condor Endurance has a 50-inch ground clearance and is rated for a working speed of 22 m.p.h. and a road speed of 32 m.p.h. Four-wheel steer comes standard, but only the front wheels are used when spraying to reduce boom movement. A dedicated hydraulically powered fill pump at the front of the

machine can fill the machine with water within seven minutes. Operators can use the sprayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auto fill option, and the pump will shut down once a desired amount of water is loaded. A Claas cab is used on the Condor Endurance, but Agrifac uses its own electronics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;GPS wise, we can deal with any system in the market,â&#x20AC;? Blijdorp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our approach is that we will adapt to the GPS system that the farmer uses instead of the other way around.â&#x20AC;? The touch sensitive operating screen displays all relevant information without having to scroll though menus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since we make use of all electronic values on the machine, you can operate them by pressing on the screen,â&#x20AC;? he said. Operators can use the in-cab console to run fresh water through the boom, dilute the main tank when cleaning it out, adjust track width, control rates, and adjust water and air pressure. The 320 horsepower Volvo engine is located in the middle of the front axle, and the hydraulic system is designed to run at low r.p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On very flat surfaces, you can run the engine at 1,300 or 1,400 r.p.m.,â&#x20AC;? Blijdorp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With low r.p.m., you can save a lot of fuel. When you really need the power, for example to climb a hill, you can rev up to 1,700 or 1,800 r.p.m.â&#x20AC;? robin.booker@producer.com

How to reduce food waste BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian grain farmers probably don’t think of themselves as culprits when they hear about food waste. Huseyin Arslan, president of the Global Pulse Confederation, told the recent 2016 Global Pulse Convention in Cesme, Turkey, that 1.3 billion pounds of food are lost annually around the world. “We have to be very careful and we have to take under consideration, if we save this (food) we will save a lot of people in the world,” he said. Value Chain Management International estimates that 10 percent of food waste happens on the farm, attributing to $3.1 billion in losses across Canada. Most of it occurs on fruit and vegetable farms, but a closer look at grain farming is revealing cracks that cause significant economic loss. “What people are telling us from the downstream close to the market end is distinctly different to what many farmers think of quality,” said Martin V. Gooch, chief executive officer of Value Chain Management International in Oakville, Ont., who has studied costs throughout the supply value chain. “That gap in understanding and communication leads to inconsistencies; it leads to waste.” Gooch and his team found distinct differences in value when individual farmers from the test group were more involved in their operations, from production through to marketing. “It starts off by measuring things on your farm, measuring performance, measuring the right things and understanding what quality is,” said Gooch. “Are you storing grain in the best possible way to make sure that storing doesn’t negatively impact quality and therefore value and lead to waste?” Financial performance on the farm can be improved 10 to 20 percent and up to as high as 40 percent, said Gooch. “We’re more comfortable and we’re more used to looking at how do we increase productivity and not how do we improve how we handle what we already produce,” he said. The United Nations and other international groups initiated a global standard to measure food loss and waste during the 2016 Global Green Growth Summit held in Copenhagen, Denmark, June 6-7. The Food Loss and Waste (FLW) Protocol asks countries to adopt the standard, which will quantify and report food that is removed from the food supply chain. Al Mussel, an agricultural economist and research lead at AgriFood Economic Systems, said the UN attention is important. “We’ve got the full complement of inputs from the supply chain embodied in (food), all the water, fertilizers, seeds, processing activity, et cetera. When you end up not eating it, it’s a real loss to the economy, loss to the environment,” said Mussel. Kai Robertson, who is lead adviser at the World Resources Institute, helped develop the UN protocol. “The goals for quantifying need to drive why somebody measures,

so if the goal of the grain producers is just to prove that nothing goes to landfill, that’s one reason to use the standard,” she said. “If the goal of the grain farmers is to say how much doesn’t get sold to people, it goes to other destinations, let’s get a handle on that.” Robertson said funding is a big reason for farmers to begin using the standard. “I think because of the interest being raised around the world on this topic, that people will start funding … to help farmers and others to reduce their loss and waste,” she said. Value Chain Management International Inc. said farms that have the lowest waste have higher mar-

gins and profits. Combines in Canada account for $532 million in economic losses, and that’s without looking at capital investment. The Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute suggests farmers check for losses every time conditions change. Losing one or two bushels of grain per acre may not sound like a lot, but it can add up. PAMI also suggests investing in the right bin for the right grain. Temperamental crops such as canola require more diligence. The standard will be available early next year. newsroom@producer.com

MANITOBA BEEF AND FORAGE INITIATIVE

High-sugar forages give beef a boost Studies show energy dense feed is easier for cattle to digest and improves rumen health and weight gain BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

BROOKDALE, Man. — On a hot, bordering on stifling July day in western Manitoba, the Boston plantain in Juanita Kopp’s hand was obviously suffering. The plant was wilted, droopy and resembled an unappetizing leaf of lettuce. The plantain wasn’t doing particularly well because it had been removed from the soil. Its cousins in the ground were doing much better at the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiative (MBFI) research farm east of Brookdale, Man. Kopp, a livestock production specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, showed off the plantain during a presentation at the MBFI field tour July 26. She and other Manitoba Agriculture experts are studying Boston plantain and other high-sugar forage crops at four sites across the province. “I know it (plantain) is used more in the U.K., New Zealand and Australia,” Kopp said. “It’s more novel for Manitoba.” Scientists want to know if plantain, along with antler chicory, Nabucco Italian ryegrass and perseus festulolium, can be successfully grown in Manitoba and if the high-sugar forages will benefit beef cattle production. The inspiration for the project came from Clayton Robins, a former beef research assistant with Agriculture Canada in Brandon and a producer near Rivers, Man. Robins earned a Nuffield Schol-

After travelling to Wales, Scandinavia, Spain and the United States, Robins learned that beef producers in many countries value forage with a high sugar content. Most Canadian legumes and grasses have a sugar content of seven to 12 percent, but chicory, plantain and other high-sugar forage crops can have a sugar content of 20 to 30 percent. Research suggests that livestock can metabolize feed more efficiently when the sugar content is higher.

“Cattle that consume forages with higher-sugar content have higher rates of gain, improved performance and better rumen health,” the Beef Cattle Research Council says on its website. Robins spoke at numerous events on the Prairies in 2014 and 2015 to spread the word about high-sugar forages. His message may be gaining traction because a few Manitoba producers are experimenting with high-sugar forage crops or are curious about the concept, Kopp said. “We went to a couple of presentations that Clayton gave and there was a lot of interest.” Manitoba Agriculture decided to

research the possibilities. The scientists want to know if these forages can be used for late season grazing to provide a nutrient rich source of feed before winter. “It’s going to fit in that fall grazing period. You’re not going to be baling it up,” Kopp said. “It’s typically seeded late May or early June.” Kopp and her colleagues seeded the four forage species in plots at four sites last year in late May and early June. Early results suggest the forages can thrive in the eastern Prairies because they produced a substantial amount of dry matter. • chicory: 3.7 tons per acre • plantain and Italian ryegrass: 4.1 tons per acre • Festulolium: 4.8 tons per acre The Alberta Agriculture website says alfalfa can generate two to seven tons per acre, so the highsugar forage species have comparable production. “The potential for productivity is definitely there, but keep in mind it is plot (research),” Kopp said. Scientists also measured the total digestible nutrients (TDN) of the four forage species: • chicory: 67 percent • plantain: 62 • Italian ryegrass: 64 • Festulolium: 62 “A lactating cow would need 65 percent TDN in her diet, so pretty much (the forages) meet that requirement,” Kopp said.

WHAT IS CHICORY?

Chicory is a high yielding perennial herb high in nutrition. It has a deep tap root and thrives in free draining fertile soil but tolerates low pH soil and heavy clay. ers are repeating the experiment this year, but at Brookdale it’s being done on a bigger scale. They seeded chicory and plantain on a larger piece of land, and cattle will graze the site this fall. “(We will) have our cow-calf pairs go in and weigh them before they go in,” Kopp said. “Then get two or three weeks (of grazing) … and get a sense of average daily gain…. It’s not foundational research by any means. It’s more demonstrative.” Manitoba Agriculture scientists aren’t the only ones studying the potential of high-sugar forages in Canada. Gilles Belanger, an Agriculture Canada researcher in Quebec, is looking at ways to increase the sugar content of alfalfa, including harvesting in the late afternoon and breeding alfalfa with higher sugar concentration. robert.arnason@producer.com

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Researchers are working with Alberta auctions and abattoirs to understand what happens to compromised cattle arriving at their facilities. “It really is a sensitive issue,” Agriculture Canada researcher Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein said at the International Beef Cattle Welfare Symposium held earlier this year in Manhattan, Kansas. “I think the best thing we can do for the industry is to show what is actually happening with compromised cattle.” The study, which started last March and ends next year, collects information on a host of problems known to show up when cattle have reached the end of their productive lives. Seeing cattle that are unable to get up, crippled, sick or emaciated at a public auction is a negative picture for the industry. “Every time we load something on a trailer to be marketed, we have to be very conscious about what we are putting on that truck,” she said. It is a very visible part of the industry. Auctions are public markets, and one smartphone video of stumbling or injured cows creates an outcry. Shipping unfit animals is a welfare concern, but firm data is needed to measure the extent of the problem and decide where help can be offered. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency defines a cow as unfit when transport would lead to undue suffering. The animal can be transported only to a veterinarian.

Cattle arriving at auction marts are in the public eye, so ensuring animals arrive healthy will benefit the industry. | FILE PHOTO Compromised means reduced capacity to withstand transport, but special provisions allow transport if undue suffering is avoided. Producers may argue that the cow looked fine when loaded, is still worth some money, would be a waste of meat if it wasn’t processed or it did not have far to go. The main objective is to assess the number arriving in bad shape and document what is wrong with them. Researchers will study beef and dairy cattle slaughtered at provin-

cial and federal abattoirs and cattle for sale at auctions. They will also note if the animal was sold or euthanized. Facilities were selected according to their willingness to participate, sales volumes and geographic location. Many did not want to take part, but the Livestock Market Association agreed to support the project with funding from Alberta Farm Animal Care, Alberta Beef Producers, the National Cattle Feeders Association and Alberta Milk.

Four large and four small auction markets have been selected to collect sample sizes of 2,500 head per yard. Risk factors such as feeder cattle versus cull cattle, breed and distance travelled will be taken into account. Researchers hoped to interview truck drivers, but schedules often did not work, so travel distances will be obtained from livestock manifests that accompany every load.

Compromised animals may suffer from: • penis, limb or pelvis injury • acute frostbite • bloated but not ready to go down • laboured breathing • blindness in both eyes • open wounds • not fully healed after an operation • has given birth in the last 48 hours • vaginal or rectal prolapse • heavy in lactation • cancer eye stage two or three • severely lame • fever • younger than 48 hours • emaciated, dehydrated or exhausted • in shock or dying

Lawrence decided to retire. His first time out, Lawrence won the Canadian Livestock Market auctioneer championship and was reserve champion at the Calgary Stampede international in 2000 when he was 27. “I said I was done with competition.” However, his friend and business partner Chance Martin, who sits on the Stampede auctioneer committee, convinced him to re-enter the competition this year. It proved to be the right decision because he was named international livestock auctioneer grand champion at the Stampede event held July 15-16. Lawrence is taking home $5,000 and a belt buckle and earned a berth at the world livestock auctioneer championship in Billings, Montana, next June. Outside of competition, Lawrence works at wholesale car sales, purebred cattle sales and livestock sales. In 2015, he went into partnership with Martin and Jeff Fritz and took over the Thorsby Stockyards. They refurbished it and sold about 50,000 head in the first year.

“We are independently owned and we are very proud of that,” he said. He also farms, and he and his wife, Tracy, have three daughters, Jorgia,

When people look at manure, they might get a little queasy about seeing it as anything more than animal waste. But for soil scientist Jeff Schoenau, within that same substance exists a world of possibility for research and practical use. “Rather than a waste, in fact it’s a resource — another valuable output from the livestock operation. From the standpoint of growers, they have another source of nutrients and organic matter that they can use in land application,” he says. Schoenau is a professor of soil fertility and a professional agrologist with the University of Saskatchewan College of Agriculture and Bioresources as well as the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture’s Strategic Research Chair in Soil Nutrient Management. His work explores a variety of subjects, including soil fertility and fertilizers, soil conservation, cropping systems, nutrient cycling — and, yes, how manure affects these areas and more. These days, he’s anticipating the Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence (LFCE) — a research complex that will bring together all aspects of livestock research — and the extensive changes it will make possible in his own work. Despite being among the leaders in Canadian cattle production, Saskatchewan soils could benefit from more manure available to replace the nutrients that are exported in crop harvest. “You might say [in Saskatchewan] we’re probably in a bit of a manure deficit in the sense that we certainly have livestock here but a lot of those livestock are spread out thinly over a large land area and a lot of cropped fields in the province receive little or no manure,” he says. The LFCE will provide a concentrated hub of research that might help to fill the void of manure in the province. “It’s a location that provides the key ingredient of manure, you might say. It’s also got infrastructure there in terms of manure application equipment and the land area. It really provides the basis as a site, a strategic location to do manure management research close to Saskatoon.” Bringing several operations together under one umbrella has the added benefit of creating a condensed network of researchers and facilities. For Schoenau, this means greater opportunity for collaboration and future agricultural leaders to gain more hands-on experience during their education. “Having that facility that close to the university really offers the opportunities to take students … out into the field very easily and give them a first-hand look and experience with best manure management practices — how you would sample manure, how you sample manured soils, how to best apply it, the impact on soils, crops, water and air quality,” he says. “I think it really will add a dimension to the experiential learning that we emphasize very much in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.” For more information, visit usask.ca/lfce.

s part of disease investigations, we often evaluate trace mineral levels in the blood of cattle. Over the last few months, I’ve had several herds show very low levels of manganese, and although the results did not seem related to the problems being investigated, it sparked my interest in finding out more about issues associated with manganese deficiency in cattle. Manganese is a trace mineral first identified as important in poultry in the 1930s. Deficiency in chicks caused a debilitating lameness and leg disorder, which was called perosis. Manganese has now been identified as part of biochemical processes and enzymes throughout the body and can affect carbohydrate, fat and protein use. Manganese is also required in bone and cartilage formation, and manganese deficiency has been associated with some specific congenital skeletal abnormalities in calves. Manganese is fairly abundant in pasture grasses and legumes, but silages and cereal grains, especially corn, are poor sources of manganese. Manganese deficiencies have not been well described in cattle with the exception of a major effect on the fetus if cows are fed a manganese deficient diet during gestation. Outbreaks of dwarfism in calves have been described in Canada, Scotland and Australia that have been associated with possible manganese deficiencies. The disease was first described in beef cattle ranches in north-central British Columbia and Alberta in the 1980s and has since been described in a variety of other geo-

Producers must provide mineral supplementation if relying on silage for winter feeding. | FILE PHOTO graphic locations around the world. These calves are born as dwarfs with long bone abnormalities and sometimes with a “parrot mouth” or shortened nasal bones. In many cases, the joints are also swollen and there is significant joint laxity, which makes it difficult for the calves to stand and walk. These calves are much more likely to die and the severe joint laxity often causes dystocia and calving difficulties when the calves are born. The first outbreaks were described by Dr. Carl Ribble, currently a faculty member at the University of Calgary’s School of Veterinary Medicine. These western Canadian outbreaks were associated with feeding a clover or grass silage diet without dry feed or grain supplementation to pregnant cows during the winter feeding season. Calves from first-calf heifers were usually more likely to be affected than calves from mature cows. If hay or rolled grain was added to the ration, it seemed to eliminate the problem. Other researchers using controlled experimental studies have now recreated the syndrome in calves when feeding a low manganese ration of about 15 to 16 milligrams of manganese per kilogram of diet to pregnant cows as com-

pared to a control diet of 50 mg of manganese per kg. In addition, affected calves in this study tended to have low levels of blood manganese at birth. Outbreaks like these are relatively rare. It is important to recognize that these are not just small calves. They have true dwarfism with shortened bones and other bone and cartilage abnormalities. Incidents are easily prevented with appropriate mineral supplementation during winter, along with awareness that silage diets tend to have much lower manganese concentrations. Manganese has also been associated with suppressed or irregular estrus and poor conception rates. One study demonstrated that manganese supplementation during the first 19 weeks post calving reduced the time to conception in both Angus cows and heifers that were being fed a corn silage based diet. Manganese is an important trace mineral, but it seems like signs of deficiency are relatively rare and isolated to those cases where a silage based ration is fed to gestating cows and heifers without any other supplementation.

Auctioneer loves the rhythm and the rattle BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Gareth Hughes adjusts his new cowboy hat and settles in front of the microphone to sell livestock at the Calgary Stampede. The 26-year-old made the 30-hour trip from South Africa to compete in the international livestock auctioneers’ competition held July 15-16 and came away impressed by the North Americans. “Every one of the auctioneers are really great and sound really amazing,” he said. He is a full-time livestock auctioneer in South Africa but trained in Iowa in 2012 because he liked the North American style of selling. He won the South African auctioneer competition in 2015 and wanted to go further.

“I always wanted to be able to sell like them. I like the style, the rhythm and I love the rattle,” he said. “I use the American style but we sell in two languages, English and Afrikaans,” he said. The cattle industry in South Africa is short on numbers due to drought, so prices are up. They use a similar system of order buyers selecting cattle for feedlots, but his auction sells all kinds of livestock, including sheep, goats, cattle and horses. Cattle types are similar to North America and include British, Continental and Brahman types as well as a South African breed, Bonsmara, a three-way cross of Hereford, Shorthorn and Afrikaan, a native breed. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

75 YEARS AGO: AUG. 7, 1941 A federal order-in-council that superseded provincial creditor protection legislation continued to worry prairie farmers. United Farmers of Canada said rural municipalities in Saskatchewan were refusing farmers’ requests for credit advances for harvest materials because the federal order took away their legal power to collect on those advances. Saskatchewan Wheat Pool president J.H. Wesson said a 15 cent a bushel processing tax on wheat never accomplished its goal of giving farmers a parity price for domestically consumed wheat because it wasn’t applied equitably

The Saskatchewan government announced a program of grants and loans for farmers near the new dam on the South Saskatchewan River who would be changing to irrigation once the reservoir was complete. The reservoir would eventually be called Lake Diefenbaker. Farm cash receipts for the first three months of the year were estimated to be a record $1.046 billion, seven percent higher than the previous high of $975.4 million recorded the previous year. The increase was attributed to higher receipts from cattle, hogs, poultry products, tobacco, flaxseed and rapeseed. Offsetting the gains were much lower Canadian Wheat Board participation payments on previous years’ grain and reduced returns from potatoes and wheat.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Federated Co-op Ltd. has begun work on two high-throughput fertilizer terminals in Western Canada. The terminals in Hanley, Sask., and Brandon will cost $75 million and are expected to be operational in early 2017. “These facilities will warehouse, blend and distribute a full suite of crop nutrient products that will then be available to producers through their local retail co-ops,” FCL chief executive officer Scott Banda said in Saskatoon July 26. The Hanley terminal will store up to 45,000 tonnes of fertilizer and Brandon will hold 27,500 tonnes. Banda said the process has been two years in the making, which included the creation of a six-person central procurement team at FCL to do market analysis, provide regular updates to retailers and source product. “We’re able to pool, if you will, that entire volume to be more efficient and economical in procuring the product, but also by creating these central facilities now, the ability to ship direct to farm and prevent certain retails from having to invest all of that capital at the local level,” he said. Dan Mulder, FCL’s fertilizer director, said the project is a good investment for the company. “As these terminals get built and we have rail access, that’s going to put us in a really good position to be able to source product all the way from the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans.” Added Banda: “We’re looking for the best deal, the best quality we can find for our members.” Both hub-and-spoke fertilizer terminals are centrally located for distribution to Co-op Agro Centres in Western Canada. Mulder said more producers want to be able to buy all their crop inputs from a single location. “Approximately 800 growers across Western Canada have indicated it’s very important for a one-

stop shop,” he said. Added Banda: “We want to provide a better way for our retail coop members to combine all of their individual purchasing power and maximize the benefits here at home.” Twenty-five to 30 full-time construction workers will be hired at each terminal, followed by a permanent staff of five or six people

at each site. However, the projects will also have other economic and employment impacts at the local retail level. “First, for those co-ops that are currently in the agriculture business and fertilizer as they expand and grow, but more importantly for those who aren’t in the fertilizer business today,” said Banda. “This will ease their transition, and that will create a lot of activity across Western Canada.” Sixty-four of the 120 Co-op Agro Centres in Western Canada now sell fertilizer. This number is expected to rise because of pressure from members. “We feel over the next five to seven years that we will, through acquisitions or greenfield investments, have another 12 to 17 locations that we will be selling fertil-

izer from in Western Canada,” said Mulder. The new terminals will have high speed blending capabilities and be able to load a super B trailer in 10 minutes and dispense up to 400 tonnes of straight fertilizer in an hour. “Ten minute loading time would be as fast as anything that’s available today,” said Mulder. “I would venture that if someone came in and poured themselves a cup of coffee, you’d have to have a take-out cup for them to take back in the truck because as soon as they came in to get the paperwork, they’d be going back out to drive the truck off the yard.… We put a lot of the investment on the load-out capacity to be able to speed up service and convenience.” william.dekay@producer.com

AGRIBUSINESS

Lower costs, higher prices boost Maple Leaf profits Reuters — Maple Leaf Foods reported a quarterly profit that squeezed past estimates as lower operating costs and increased pricing more than offset a fall in volumes in its meat products business.

program started in 2010 to boost earnings by shutting some plants and modernizing others. Last month it announced an expansion of its Winnipeg bacon production facility. Adjusted operating earnings for the meat products segment rose to $62.9 million in the second quarter

ended June 30 from $17.7 million a year earlier. The company, which is one of Canada’s biggest pork processors, reported net earnings of $31.4 million, or 23 cents per share, compared with a loss of $7.5 million, or five cents, a year earlier. On an adjusted basis, Maple Leaf

earned 32 cents per share, one cent above analysts’ average estimate. Maple Leaf, whose agribusiness unit supplies livestock to the meat products group, said total sales rose 4.1 percent to $854.6 million. Analysts had expected revenue of $847.4 million, according to Thomson Reuters.

Bunge tops sales estimates (Reuters) — Bunge Ltd.’s quarterly net sales fell less than expected, helped by rising revenue from its edible oil and milling businesses. Sales in that unit rose 2.3 percent to US$1.71 billion for the second quarter, driven by demand in Asia, Canada and Europe. Total net sales fell 2.2 percent to $10.54 billion, declining for the eighth straight quarter, but that beat analysts’ expectations. Bunge’s net income rose more than 50 percent to $109 million in the quarter.

BIG DATA INTEGRATION

ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

Precision feeding helps hogs live better, produce longer

Alberta fires give GDP biggest hit since 2009

Big Data finds a role in the hog barn BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

DES MOINES, Iowa — Bringing Big Data into the sow barn would allow every sow to have a different ration. If enough data collection and management are being done, a sow could live longer, eat less and help make a much better herd. That’s what Curtiss Littlejohn was saying about the evolution of electronic sow feeders and what his company, Canarm, plans to offer producers. “We are tailoring it down to what her exact requirements are on each day,” Littlejohn said as he stood at his booth at the World Pork Expo held earlier this summer in Des Moine. “Precision feeding involves looking at the sow on an almost daily basis to determine where she is in terms of her body, weight gain, back fat deposition, and correctly building a ration for her on that day that will most benefit her, her litter and her future productivity.” In crop farming, Big Data collects large amounts of information about the land, crop conditions and the weather to allow customized treatment that exactly fits the crop’s needs. It appears to be developing the same way in the hog barn by allowing pig-by-pig management differences. Littlejohn’s company, based in Ontario, offers electronic sow feeders that can provide different levels of four main feed components to individual sows. Not only can the system be customized to provide a general ration for the herd based on its overall state, but it can also provide specific rations for each pig. “You could have 2,000 sows with 2,000 individual portions,” said Littlejohn. However, doing that right requires heavy commitment by the producer. Data must be relentlessly gathered so that day-by-day comparisons of an animal’s weight gain, back fat levels and condition can form an ongoing series of information that will highlight when a problem develops. University of Guelph researchers are digging into the results of finely tuned feeding changes provided in sow rations, which will help refine customized feeding. Littlejohn said the data-gathering demands are significant, but the gains could be tremendous. “We can’t accommodate for disease or injury or those sorts of things, but we know that if that animal is properly prepared and she’s the proper weight and the proper size, we know how much she milked off in her lactation, we can rebuild that precisely,” said Littlejohn. The result should be a pig that feeds efficiently, has better litters and lasts for more pregnancies. “We can have a lower impact on

the environment, we can have a better impact on the sow’s longevity and life, and we can save a lot of money.” Far from being just a response to the end of gestation stalls, electronic sow feeders are now the core of precision feeding systems. “This is the complete integration of data on the farm.” ed.white@producer.com

OTTAWA (Reuters) — Canada’s economy suffered its biggest onemonth contraction in May since March 2009 as wildfires in northern Alberta caused a sharp drop in oil extraction, reinforcing expectations that the economy shrank in the second quarter. Monthly gross domestic product fell .6 percent in May, data from Statistics Canada showed July 29, exceeding economists’ expectations for a decline of .4 percent. The wildfires that started in May around Fort McMurray disrupted production in Alberta’s oilsands and forced residents from their homes in what is expected to be the country’s costliest-ever natural disaster. As a result, output from the nonconventional oil extraction indus-

try saw a 22 percent drop for the month. Activity in the goods-producing sector overall fell 2.8 percent, including a 2.4 percent decline in manufacturing on a drop in output at petroleum refineries. Economists and policy-makers believe the economy shrank in the second quarter as a whole because of the wildfires and a snap-back from strong export activity early in the year. Optimistic outlook A sharp rebound is anticipated in the third quarter with the Bank of Canada projecting 3.5 percent annualized growth. “The issue now is (oil) production should come back in June. By the end of this month, it looks like

it’s fully recovered, and so we should see a reversal of the weakness,” said Paul Ferley, assistant chief economist at the Royal Bank of Canada. “It should contribute to GDP bouncing strongly in the third quarter after a decline in the second.” Economists said that even with last week’s slightly disappointing reading, it was not likely to change the central bank’s path. The bank is seen holding rates steady until late 2017 after cutting twice last year as Canada fell into a brief recession. The Canadian dollar strengthened against the American dollar immediately following the data, though investors were also taking in disappointing second-quarter U.S. growth figures.
