FCC confident amid rising farm debt

Grain cleaning solutions still unclear as harvest progresses

Debt-to-asset ratios dip below 15-year average

BY ED WHITE BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The picture of farm debt on the ground matches the bigger industry picture and it says Canadian farmers are generally in good financial shape. A new report by Farm Credit Canada suggests producers are doing well despite a softening of all the key financial ratios in 2015. Record farm income and solid asset appreciation have bolstered farm finances but 2015 was the first year in a long time that some of the key financial ratios weakened slightly. “We say with confidence that Canadian farmers are in a strong position to meet their financial obligations,” said FCC chief agricultural economist J.P. Gervais. The debt-to-asset ratio of Canadian farms increased for the first time in six years due to farm debt increasing faster than assets in 2015. But the ratio remains historically low at 15.5 percent compared to the previous five-year average of 15.9 percent and the 15-year average of 16.7 percent. The ratio measures the solvency of farms. It indicates that for every dollar of assets there is an average of 15.5 cents of debt. The current ratio is below the 15-year average in all three Prairie provinces. Since 2010, the value of assets has risen

Farmers are beginning to wonder how to salvage value out of their weather-damaged crops. But Roy Ritchie, a Flaman graincleaning specialist, doesn’t have easy answers for them. Different types of crop damage have different solutions. “They ask: ‘What can I do?’ I say: ‘I don’t know. I’d have to see it’,” said Ritchie, who estimated he fielded 80-90 farmer calls about cleaningout damage in the first full week of September. Across Western Canada, farmers are anxiously watching the seeds that are going into their combine hoppers to see how much their crops suffered from the multitude of diseases that thrived during the wet summer and damp early harvest season.

56 percent compared to a 43-percent increase in liabilities. Farm debt continues to climb, reaching $86.8 billion by the end of 2015. Derek Squair, president of Agri-Trend Marketing, said the report findings are reflected in the balance sheets he sees working with the firm’s 1,800 farm customers. Growers are in good financial shape and have strong debt-to-asset ratios. He isn’t concerned about the amount of debt being amassed on an individual farm level. “I don’t think it’s getting out of hand,” he said. “It’s really a sign of consolidation, farmers getting bigger, two brothers farming together as opposed to separately before.”

TECHNOLOGY

Canada should push to be ‘big data’ leader Tech company president says the time is now for government investment BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

in his travels around the county. Hailstorms this summer did some damage, he noted, but that is usual for the region. “We certainly need a good stretch of nice weather,” he said. In the Irricana region, Eli Hofer of the Tschetter Hutterite Colony said members are hoping to make harvest progress. Though it rained Sept. 12, the forecast looked hopeful. “They’re calling for nice weather this week,” said Hofer. “We’ll start on wheat, get that off first and see what we’re getting.” He said July hailstorms have likely reduced barley and wheat yields, which he predicted would be 30 to 40 bushels per acre.

With sufficient government funds and a sincere desire, Canada could become the global leader in big data agriculture, said Wade Barnes, president of Farmer’s Edge. But if it’s going to happen, it needs to happen now, he said. “You don’t have to be in Silicon Valley to be the centre of ag tech,” Barnes said. “If Canada invests, I’m hoping it’s not too late, but if they move (quickly) it’s better to be the centre of excellence globally, here, than have it in Chicago or Silicon Valley.” The federal government may be thinking the same thing. In early September, it announced $77 million in funding for Ontario’s University of Guelph “to start a digital revolution” in agriculture and food. The massive amount of funding, the largest federal investment in U of G history, will go a research program called Food From Thought. The research is expected to focus on information management, analytics and computing power and how the technology can be harnessed to produce more food with fewer inputs. As well, it plans to look at growing food consumers will trust. “This is an acknowledgment by the federal government that this is a big area of growth and innovation and is worthy of investment,” said Evan Fraser, Guelph geography professor and Canada Research Chair in Global Food Security, “It’s an attempt to help the (agri-food) industry on its path to the use of big data in production and distribution.” Over the last couple of years so called “big data” has been touted as the next big thing in agriculture, with multinational companies investing billions to acquire and create businesses with expertise in data and analytics. Monsanto and others hope to sell services to help farmers make better management decisions. “Farmers… the most important element they’ve had on their farms is the decision-making process. They make 50 decisions a year (that are) high-stakes poker,” said Barnes, who founded Farmers Edge in 2005. “They make these decisions without a lot of (data). There’s a lot of gut instinct.” As an example, a farmer might rely on past experience to choose a certain variety of crop. But data might indicate the variety isn’t suited for the soil type or management practices on that farm. Fraser, his U of Guelph colleagues and Food From Thought industry partners are hoping the $77 million investment changes the game and pushes Canada forward. “Hopefully we’ll be in a better position, in a few years, to provide the technologies and policies and insight to help make Canadian agriculture more competitive,” said Fraser, Food From Thought scientific director.

Alta. harvest promising — as long as the weather holds out Most areas of the province report more than enough rain, quality may be affected BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Crops in the sweet spot between Calgary and Edmonton appear lush and now it’s a matter of cooperative harvest weather. Showers that brought more than 300 millimetres of rain to the region this season have proven persistent but with no rain in the forecast this week, harvest progress looks promising, said Alberta Agriculture crop specialist Harry Brook. “There’s not been a lot of progress around here,” he said from his office in Stettler, Alta. “It’s starting and stopping. It’s full ahead slow.” Pea harvest in the region is 60 to 70 percent complete, he said, but some of the remaining pea crops are flat and will be a challenge to harvest. Among cereal crops, lush stands coupled with showers and wind caused quite a bit of lodging. Spotty hailstorms also caused varying degrees of damage. That said, Brook predicts yields will be above average for the region. “Better than average, but how much better is yet to be seen,” he said. “The crops should be good yielding because we had close to ideal moisture conditions. Maybe a little too ideal” in terms of rain showers. “The majority of the areas, we’ve had more than enough rain. It’s time it stopped.” Brook said the Donalda area is one exception. It remains dry and could use more rain. However,

subsoil moisture throughout the central part of the province is in good shape. Summer moisture favoured crop diseases, prompting widespread use of fungicides. “With something like sclerotinia or blackleg, you don’t really know until harvest how bad it was. Definitely clubroot, this was just about as ideal as you could get for the continued distribution of clubroot, and as they keep looking for it, they find more and more of it in canola,” Brook said. “Leaf diseases in cereals was pretty much rampant. The ascendancy was definitely toward the diseases. Insect wise, I think they all drowned.” Although crop quantity still

As for hay, showers have kept a small amount of first-cut hay in the field and have also made second-cut hay a challenge to harvest. Bruce Beattie, reeve of Mountain View County based in Didsbury, Alta., said he’s seen quite a few wet hay crops. “Yields look excellent. The question is will they get them off,” said Beattie. Brook noted there’s a difference between hay condition and hay quality. Even blackened hay can have good nutrition for livestock, so he encouraged farmers to have their hay tested. Beattie said he has also seen considerable cereal crop lodging

FARM DEBT RISES » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 According to the FCC analysis, the current ratio, which is a measure of liquidity also known as working capital, softened to 2.38 in 2015 down from 2.63 in 2014. However, that is in line with the historical average. Gervais said working capital is the first line of defense against any future shock in a farm’s financial health. “Most of the farms are still in a very good position,” he said. Saskatchewan farmers are the most liquid with a ratio of 3.13 because they hold 30 percent of the country’s farm inventory. Squair agrees that most growers have plenty of working capital to survive a downturn in the farm economy. “We’ve had some pretty good years the last few years, so their cash flow is increasing,” he said. The third key measure of farm financial health is return-onassets, which is a measure of profitability. The ratio increased to 2.3 percent in 2015, up from two percent in 2014 due to record net income. However, that is below both the five-year average of 2.7 percent and the 15-year average of 2.6 percent. The ratio is slumping due to the rapid rate of appreciation in farmland values over the past five years. Land comprised two-thirds of total farm assets in 2015, up from a little over half in 1981. The value of farmland and buildings appreciated at an average clip of 11.7 percent per year over the past five years. FCC is forecasting the rate of appreciation will slow considerably to five percent in 2016 and one percent in 2017 due to lower crop receipts. Farm debt is forecast to increase by seven percent in 2016 and three percent in 2017, which is down from the previous five-year average of 8.1 percent. Gervais believes the farm sector could withstand a gradual increase in interest rates but he worries what would happen if the Canadian dollar gains strength on the U.S. dollar. “This is perhaps the biggest risk that we have in the industry,” he said. “A loonie at 85 cents (US) would change a lot of the dynamics in the marketplace.” Squair said most established farmers could withstand a hike in interest rates but he worries how it would affect young farmers. “It depends where you are in your career and how much equity you have built up and when you bought your land,” he said. He agrees that a rising dollar would have a big impact on the financial well-being of Canadian farmers but he doesn’t think it w o u l d t o p p l e ma n y g row e r s because they have tools to hedge against a rising dollar.

Slow harvest hampers shippers Wet weather delays harvest and slows rail deliveries, but business expected to pick up soon BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grain shipments by rail are off to a slow start so far in the 2016-17 crop year, hampered by poor harvest across much of western Canada. But the pace of shipments is likely to pick up soon and the grain handling and transportation system will probably be running at full capacity by mid-September, according to the head of Canadian Pacific Railway. “The strength of the grain harvest is there and we’re suggesting it could be a record crop,” said CP president and chief operating officer Keith Creel during a global transportation conference in Boston, Sept. 7. “But in the past three to four weeks, we’re behind in bringing the crop in because of the wet fields … “We expect next week to be full

bore with the grain harvest ….” Creel said wet weather over the past few weeks has slowed harvest operations meaning shipments of grain across CP’s network are 4,000 to 5,000 carloads behind what was anticipated to this point. Those carloads will be moved at a later date but the revenue derived will be deferred to a later date on CP’s fiscal calendar. Creel said there is no reason to believe that the grain handling system will encounter problems similar to those that emerged in the 2013-14 crop year. That year, unusually harsh winter weather hampered railway c o m p a n y e f f o r t s t o m ov e a record-sized crop in western Canada. “As soon as all of this crop comes in there will certainly be some bubbles in the supply chain … but what’s changed dramati-

cally from the last time … (is that) there’s been a significant amount of investment….” Creel said investments by both railways and grain companies has significantly enhanced the system’s throughput capacity. Grain companies have spent hundreds of million of dollars on improvements at West Coast export terminals and inland elevators. Railway operations have also improved their programs offering shippers more certainty in terms of rail car supplies. CP’s dedicated grain train program, for example, gives Canadian grain shippers a greater level of assurance in terms of car supply. It also encourages shippers to load unit trains more quickly. CP will run 53 dedicated grain trains in Canada this year. The program was introduced in 2015-16 and is sold out in Canada this year, Creel said.

“This is the second year that we’ve had that product in the market and it’s been very well received by our grain customers.” Overall, the system is better prepared to handle a record or near-record crop, as long as winter conditions don’t cause system-wide disruptions. “Capacity is much greater than it was in 2013-14,” Creel said. “How much is much greater? I don’t know we’re going to test it. We’ll see but I think we’re going to do … markedly better than we did in 2013-14.” Creel said CP is anticipating strength in bulk shipments of potash, coal and grain in the months ahead. Together, those three commodities account for roughly 60 percent of the railway’s business. brian.cross@producer.com

Bakers monitor glyphosate residues Industry wary of consumer backlash BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The baking industry has heard plenty about the evils of gluten over the last few years. The last thing the sector needs is another controversy, which is why the Baking Association of Canada is keeping a close eye on glyphosate residue in bread and baked goods. “We are concerned about anything that would deter consumers from eating wheat-based foods,” said Paul Hetherington, Baking Association president and chief executive officer. “We’ve had enough challenges in the baking sector…. This type of attention (glyphosate residue) is something that builds on some of the negative perceptions that consumers have.” Last month, three U.S. organic groups filed a lawsuit against General Mills over glyphosate residue in Nature Valley granola bars. The groups claim General Mills is misleading the public because the granola bar label says ‘made with 100 percent natural whole grain oats.’ They say the word ‘natural’ is misleading because the groups tested samples of Nature Valley granola bars and found that the snack contained trace amounts of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide. In the statement of claim, the groups said the source of glyphosate is “known only to General Mills and its suppliers”, but could be caused when farmers spray glyphosate on oats before harvest. Applying glyphosate to crops prior to harvest is a common practice in Western Canada. Many farmers rely on desiccants to dry a standing crop for harvest, rather than letting it dry in a swath. However, glyphosate has become more controversial since March 2015, when a division of the World Health Organization said the herbi-

cide is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Other agencies, such as the European Food Safety Authority and Health Canada, have concluded that glyphosate is not a carcinogen. Toxicologists and most scientists say that trace amounts of glyphosate in bread or pastries present no threat to human health, but perception may trump science in the age of Facebook. The baking association, which has members like Canada Bread and Weston Bakeries, is a sciencebased organization, but the group is also sensitive to public opinion. “When consumers learn (glyphosate is) being applied a couple of weeks before harvest, it raises questions,” Hetherington said. “Why are you putting that product on the crop? (Producers) are going to have to be prepared to explain those practices… and articulate why you do things the way you do. And what the benefit is, of doing it that way…. If you don’t, you allow others to drive the messaging,” he said. Cam Dahl, Cereals Canada president, said the grain industry and agriculture sector are sharing information about agriculture practices and the benefits to society, including the use of glyphosate. “There are some really good stories to tell, as the result of modern agricultural practices. And of course glyphosate is part of that. (But) it’s a bigger story than just one product…. Yes. This is something the industry is engaged in.” In 2015, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency began testing food products for glyphosate residue. The Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. launched a similar program earlier this year. Hetherington said the baking association is “looking forward” to the results. The CFIA plans to report on glyphosate residue next spring. robert.arnason@producer.com

CLEANING SOLUTIONS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Heavy rain and accompanying winds have caused lodging in many wheat and barley crops in the Barrhead-Westlock areas north of Edmonton. Farmers are reporting sprouting in standing crops. This sample was taken on Sept. 7. | LES DUNFORD PHOTO

Ever ything from ergot to fusarium to sclerotinia hit crops, damaging kernels, seeds and pods and creating damaged material in samples. That damaged material can lead to big discounts on crops when delivered to a buyer, so many farmers might consider cleaning it out to protect a crop’s value. However, different types of damage tend to require different approaches, with different sorts of cleaning machinery removing different substances. “There are quite a few different solutions but we don’t know what will work best yet,” said Ritchie. Flaman both sells and rents equipment, but doesn’t know what will be most in demand this season. It will be weeks before enough harvest is completed for farmers and others to understand how much cleaning will be needed, and by

what methods. “This isn’t going to be an easy problem (to deal with,)” said Ritchie. “I believe it’s really widespread.” As well, the situation has been made more difficult because farmers tend to first harvest pulses and canola, and leave most cereal grains in the field. Wheat is subject to significant discounts and premiums based on quality spreads, so the crop with the greatest gains or losses from the disease and weather damage will also be the last one to be assessed. With rains frequent in many parts of Western Canada during harvest, sprouting is likely to be a problem. However, until enough comes in, estimating how much cleaning will be necessary is impossible. “We have not seen enough samples yet,” said Ritchie. “We’ve called for lots but we don’t have them yet.” ed.white@producer.com

FIVE MILLION TONNES MORE

Constant revisions erode confidence Under reported canola production supports price but causes market frustration BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Statistics Canada is continuing its long-running habit of heavily underestimating the size of the canola crop. Last week, after reporting its higher-than-expected year-end canola stocks number the agency was forced to bump up its estimate of last year’s canola crop by 1.15 million tonnes to 18.38 million. The difference between its initial July 2015 estimate of the 2015-16 crop and its final estimate is now five million tonnes or 38 percent. The constant revisions to previous crops call into question the accuracy of the crop size forecast for the current 2016-17 crop, now pegged at 17 million tonnes. Upward revisions are no anomaly. The crop has gotten bigger, and in many cases a whole lot bigger, in nine of the last 10 years. In fact, it has grown by an average of two million tonnes per year between the initial and final estimates over the last decade. The only time Statistics Canada underestimated production was in 2012-13 when a September plow wind wreaked havoc on canola swaths. Larry Weber, analyst with Weber Commodities, can’t fathom why it keeps making the same mistake. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” he said. It is understandable that preliminary estimates are not always bang-on accurate, but being off by two million tonnes on a number that is critically important to the canola trade is unacceptable. “It’s pretty pathetic,” he said. “It’s to the point now where the guys at the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) are laughing at us.” Statistics Canada was contacted for this story but refused to make anyone available for an interview. Instead, Yves Gilbert, unit head of field crop estimates, sent an email stating that growers tend to be conservative in their responses in the

July survey because they have to account for potential future hardships such as flood, hail, frost and disease. “It is a fact that such weather conditions have occurred many times in past years between July and November,” he said. By the time the November survey happens farmers know what is in their bins, so that estimate better reflects reality. The November survey is used in the report issued in December, but has to be revised again if the year end stock number comes in higher than expected. “Finally, as a result of (the) stocks reconciliation exercise at the end of the crop year, some revisions are needed to (the) previous year’s final crop production,” said Gilbert. Weber said it is hard to complain about the inaccuracy because consistently underestimating the crop bolsters canola prices for growers. But farmers he has spoken to say they would rather have accurate public information than constantly second-guessing the statistics. Statistics Canada’s track record has analysts questioning its 17 million tonne initial production estimate for this year’s crop. “If you were a betting guy, you’d bet we’re going to be two million tonnes higher but I think it’s too early to tell,” said Weber. Derek Squair, president of AgriTrend Marketing, agrees the canola crop is likely a lot bigger than Statistics Canada is forecasting. The trade expects about 18 million tonnes. Saskatchewan Agriculture is forecasting an average provincial yield of 38 bushels per acre, up from the previous five-year average of 33.4. Alberta Agriculture is estimating 42.3 bushels per acre, up from the average of 37.7. Manitoba Agriculture does not provide a provincial average estimate. So it appears that a big crop is on the way, adding to the carryout. Statistics Canada says the carryout was two million tonnes, which is

EVERYTHING

Statistics Canada pegs the canola crop at 17 million tonnes, while the trade pegs it at 18 million tonnes. | ROBIN BOOKER PHOTO well beyond what analysts had anticipated. “We’re kind of scratching our heads on the number,” said Squair. “We can’t really make a whole lot of sense of it.” He believes carryout was closer to 850,000 tonnes. But even if the carryout is as high as Statistics Canada is saying and the production is north of 18 million tonnes, it will not be a burdensome supply of canola because demand is expected to be strong. “If we have the high end of both of those numbers we will still move it all,” said Squair. Weber said canola will benefit from strong global soybean demand as well. “Thankfully demand for soybeans is going to keep canola prices at or above $10 a bushel,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

WHY ARE STATISTICS CANADA CANOLA ESTIMATES SO LOW? Statistics Canada’s final estimate of canola production is almost always bigger than the initial estimate published in August.

RISK PREVENTION

Oat buyers’ storage gives cushion to prevent rally Buyers don’t want to be caught short and be forced to pay higher prices so many have several months worth of supply in storage BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers keep hearing that quality oat supplies are getting tighter, but they never see a price rally as they expect. That’s unlikely to change, said oats trader Lorne Boundy of Paterson Grain, because buyers seldom worry about running out of oats these days. “A lot of the mills actually built up enough cushion (of supply) that they would never have to live through that again,” said Boundy about processors’ response to the 2013-14 grain transportation crisis, which saw some U.S. Midwestern mills almost shut down because they could not get oats from Western Canada. “You can’t risk running your mill out.” With buyers now generally having months worth of supply in hand, there is no need to panic and panics are often what cause rallies. Oat futures prices have been sliding since June, falling from about US$2.20 per bushel to $1.75

recently. Oats futures have been weaker than those of other cereal grains. However, cash and Minneapolis area basis bids have counteracted some of that weakness since the beginning of August, revealing the higher value of true milling quality oats. Even then cash values for farmers have been dropping since June, leaving growers in Manitoba looking at C$2.25 per bushel and Saskatchewan growers at about $2. Dismal feed market The situation is made worse by the slump in feed use of oats in Western Canada. “This remains a disturbing long term trend for the North American oat market, one that is having a negative impact on Canadian oat plantings and production, both of which are in long term downward trends,” said the Sept. 11 OatInformation weekly oat commentary. Statistics Canada recently estimated that oats used as feed in Canada dropped by five percent

this year. “Declining feed use is creating a situation that is trending towards Canadian oats becoming a contracted crop,” said the OatInformation report. “If farmers are unable to find a volume outlet for their feed quality oats, either in commercial feed or on farms, there is no reason to increase or sustain current oat plantings. Unless oat prices begin to trade closer to wheat and barley values, we see little reason for the negative trends to shift.” Boundy said a big spread has developed between feed and milling oats, revealing the glut of low quality oats held by farmers. Many growers hope to see cash prices rise above $3 per bushel and have held back from pricing until they see it, but Boundy said they might never see it this crop year. “Unless you have $6.50 or $7 wheat, that’s not going to happen,” said Boundy. “Look for the time to sell and don’t hesitate.” ed.white@producer.com

SOYBEAN YIELDS

RECORD PRODUCTION

U.S. soybean output outpaces stellar demand WASHINGTON (Reuters) — American soybean growers have what looks like a phenomenal crop about to be harvested with a national yield forecast of an eye popping record 50.6 bushels an acre. The United States Department of Agriculture’s monthly supply and demand report Sept. 12 had a soybean yield forecast that was higher than the top end of analysts’ expectation, up 1.7 bushels over the August forecast and up 2.6 bu. from last year. Top production states Iowa and Illinois led the charge amid nearperfect growing weather during the key development period in August. The USDA now estimates the soybean crop at 4.2 billion bu. That topped analysts’ forecasts that ranged from 4.02 billion to 4.16 billion bu. Last year’s crop was 3.93 billion bu. The November soybean contract fell 1.63 percent the day of the report, knocking down the previous week’s rally that was fueled by strong demand. With the prospect of more crop to sell, the USDA increased its forecast for domestic soybean crush and exports to new record highs. Nevertheless, it sees yearend stocks growing to 365 million bu., up from 330 million in the August report. Stocks at the end of 2015-16 were revised down to 195 million. Even with the bigger U.S. crop, the USDA’s forecast of global soybean production for 2016-17 did not

increase that much because it trimmed Brazil’s expected production by two million tonnes. The USDA expects Brazilian farmers will lower seeded area as relatively strong corn prices in southern Bra-

zil are expected to increase firstcrop corn planting. The USDA pegged U.S. corn production at 15.093 billion bu., down from its August estimate of 15.153 billion bu. USDA lowered its corn

yield view by .7 bu. per acre to 174.4 bu. The corn futures market had little reaction to that revision. The USDA’s numbers on wheat did not change significantly.

American soybean yields have jumped more than 25 percent in five years. National soybean yield, bu. per acre 2012 40 2013 44 2014 47.5 2015 48 2016 forecast 50.6 Source USDA

PULSE OUTLOOK

Monster pulse crop may hammer prices India could harvest five million tonnes more than last year BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The potential for a massive Indian crop will fundamentally alter pulse markets in 2017, says an analyst. Normal monsoon rains combined with a sharp increase in plantings will likely result in a 201617 crop that will bring pulse prices back in alignment with grain and oilseed prices, said Brian Clancey, editor of Stat Publishing, a markets information service. “India has the possibility of growing just a monster crop,” he said. “I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think it could approach 22 million tonnes, which is almost equivalent to their annual domestic consumption.” To put that in perspective, India produced 16.5 million tonnes of pulses last crop year and 17.2 million tonnes the year before that. Clancey is advising Canadian farmers to strongly consider selling enough of this year’s pulse crops in the immediate post-harvest period to at least cover their cost of production. “Given the possibility for what could happen next year, it’s probably a good idea to take advantage of any rallies in the market to sell.”

ROBIN BOOKER PHOTO

Clancey said it should come as no surprise to growers that pulse prices are heading lower. They have been at a premium to grains and oilseeds since December 2015 and that is encouraging growers around the world to seed more of them. India has received good monsoon rains and farmers have planted 29 percent more pulses in the kharif (summer) crop than last year. The rains have recharged soil moisture levels, which will likely lead to a sizable increase in rabi (winter) acres as well. The rabi crop is when India’s chickpeas and lentils are planted and that has a major influence on Canadian yellow pea and red lentil prices.

THE ESTIMATED GLOBAL LENTIL PRODUCTION OF 6.4 MILLION TONNES IS

36 % ABOVE AVERAGE Monsoon rains have not replenished the water reservoirs, which could lead to a reduction in irrigated crops. That could also contribute to an increase in pulse acres because pulses are dryland crops. Another factor to consider is the Indian government’s minimum

support prices (MSPs) for pulses. In the past MSPs were meaningless because the government wasn’t buying pulses from farmers at any price. But it is now planning to build buffer stocks of two million tonnes. It will be interesting to see where it sets MSPs for the coming rabi crop. By the end of November it will be clear how many rabi pulse acres Indian farmers are planting and that is when prices could start trending lower. Clancey said Canadian farmers have so far been shielded from dramatic pea and lentil price declines because there were a lot of sales on the books and exporters are buying crop to meet those obligations.

There are also quality problems with Canadian lentils, which is making it hard to source the right grades. “It allows the market to ease into the lower value ranges, to trend lower rather than crash hard,” he said. Stat Publishing estimates 2016 world pulse production at 53.7 million tonnes, which is seven percent higher than the five-year average. That is mainly due to the surge in North American pea and lentil production with record crops in Canada and the United states. Global lentil production is estimated at 6.4 million tonnes, which is 36 percent higher than average, while pea production is pegged at 13.2 million tonnes, or 21 percent above normal. Clancey believes Canada’s lentil crop will be larger than many expect. Statistics Canada forecasts 3.2 million tonnes. He thinks it will be closer to 3.5 million tonnes and some in the trade are forecasting 3.7 million tonnes. However, there are quality problems, especially with green lentils, so top quality large green lentils will likely buck the downward price trend longer than other grades and classes of the crop. The global supply of beans and chickpeas remains relatively tight. But that will change in 2017 as India’s kharif and rabi crops hit the market. sean.pratt@producer.com

POLITICAL MANIPULATION

“Freer” trade with new markets would reduce reliance on U.S. HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

ouldn’t it be great to have free trade with China and the European Union? Imagine if buyers from those huge markets and sellers of crops and meat from Canada could trade without worry of political interference or regulatory games. There’s no question that Canadian agricultural exports would surge. But that sort of free-from-politics trade will likely never be a reality, as our experiences with the United

States and Mexico within the North American Free Trade Agreement have shown. As we’ve learned, domestic politics in those countries can produce costly attacks on our exports, as with Country-ofOrigin Labelling. However, obtaining freer trade with China and the EU is probably our best hope for not only expanding into new markets, but also weakening the power of our current “free” trade partners, particularly the U.S., which is our dominant trade partner. Being able to sell easily to a number of fickle, game-playing partners is better than being greatly dependent upon one, which is Canada’s position now. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just returned from China, where he agreed to study the idea of forming a Canada-China free trade deal.

And the Canada-EU free trade deal is still alive, even though Great Britain’s vote to leave the EU makes the deal’s success much less likely than before. It’s possible that a couple of years from now Canada will have added a binding free trade deal with the EU and be steaming down the river toward one with China. We’ll never be able to trust the Europeans and Chinese. Let’s not fool ourselves about that. They are some of the world’s most accomplished and ruthless game players when it comes to trade. We have seen that play out with flax, meat and canola. While countries like the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand at least seem to believe in free trade, the continental Europeans and Chinese are far less idealistic about it. With them, civilized horse-trading is about the

best we can hope for. That’s what we’re getting with the Canada-EU deal, if it is ever passed. Exports of beef and pork would still be capped and other restrictions also apply. As well, their cheese exports to Canada would be capped. In many areas, there would simply be a broader range of goods we could trade with relative freedom, rather than trying to create a truly free trade zone with the EU. But trade deals also provide mechanisms to minimize the chances that cynical politicians can manipulate technical matters to interrupt trade. That’s probably the best we can hope for with China. Our government might be able to find ways to exempt some products and commodities from unilateral regulatory interference, and that would be a good thing.

Don’t expect “free” trade with China. That will probably never happen and no one expects it. But getting “freer” trade and “more freely” trading with the giant market would be a great development. Now, Canada relies too much on the U.S. market, which is dangerous because of the cynical games American politicians can play with imports from Canada regardless of our free trade deal. Europeans and Chinese won’t be any less inclined to play such games even if we ink deals, but being able to shift between three fickle pseudo-free-trade zones would be better than being too reliant upon one. “Freer” and “more freely” aren’t as good as “free,” but they are a lot better than what we have today. ed.white@producer.com

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT FED MARKET POSTS LOWS The Canfax fed steer weighted average was $126.74 per hundredweight and hiefers averaged $128.01. Prices were down about $5 per cwt. and set new lows for the year. Pr ices were the lowest since December 2013. Feedlot managers aggressively marketed cattle and sale volumes were the largest since May 2012. Most of the trade was for dressed product, with prices ranging widely at $215-$227 delivered. Dressed prices were steady to $10 lower. The cash-to-futures basis strengthened sharply to -$2.86. Weekly Canadian slaughter to Sept. 3 was brisk at 51,969 head. Steer carcass weights fell three pounds to 921 lb. Weekly exports to Aug. 27 were steady at 5,267 head. Positive packer margins should continue to fuel large fed kills but beef demand seasonally w ill decline. With fewer forward priced cattle and large cash showlists, buyers will have market leverage over sellers. In the U.S. last week most of the live trade was down US$4 and dressed sales were generally $8-$10 per cwt. lower.

COWS LOWER D1, D2 cows ranged $90-$105 to average $95.63 per cwt., down almost $5. D3 cows ranged $80-$89 to average $84. Railgrade cows ranged $180$185. Bulls averaged $120.61 down $3.39. Non-fed prices are expected to work gradually lower into the fall. D1, D2 cows will likely average in the upper $80s to low $90s by the end of the month. Canadian bull slaughter volumes totaled 371 head, the second largest weekly volume reported over the past three years.

FEEDERS LOWER From February highs to current lows, 550 lb. steer prices have fallen 32 percent, the largest decline in 15 years. And heifers for fall delivery are being discounted aggressively, with 550 lb. females trading $21$35 per cwt. lower than same weight steers. Eastern buyers are showing good interest in western Canadian calves but they are not as aggressive as last year, especially on heavier steer calves. Alberta 850 lb. steers set new annual lows last week and Ontario prices were only 10 cent shy of new lows. While prices are lower, basis levels remain historically strong. Based on the five-year average, September is traditionally the strongest basis month of the calendar year. With yearling prices at or near annual lows, many grass operators will continue to fight the market and look to maximize cattle weight while out on pasture. The equity drain on the cattle feeding sector has been severe.

HOGS REMAIN WEAK Cash prices were little changed, but hope is building for increased hog buying for U.S. national pork month in October. The U.S. national live price average for barrows and gilts was $44.98 per cwt. Sept. 9. U.S. hogs averaged $58.21 on a carcass basis Sept. 9, unchanged from $58.21 Sept. 2. The U.S. pork cutout was $81.67 per cwt. Sept. 9, up from $77.61 Sept. 2. Packer margins are strong. The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the holiday-shortened week to Sept. 9 was 2.084 million, down from 2.252 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.049 million last year at the same time. In Canada, the Sept. 9 Signature

Three price was C$140.22 per 100 kilograms, or $63.60 per 100 pounds, down from $144.29 or $65.45 the previous week.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$6 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.50 with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs. Grade A heifers sold up to C$5.75 U.S. buyers are offering US$4.30. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

SHEEP STEADY Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield,

CRAIG’S VIEW

AGRICULTURAL SKILLS

It’s the right time to revisit value of prison farms

n a questionable move back in 2010, the Conservative government closed down six prison farms located at Canadian minimum-security facilities. Despite appeals not to do so by farm groups, social action networks, churches and the John Howard Society, the prison farms were closed and the livestock sold off (though the animals can be reacquired). The government’s argument at the time was that the farms offered no real-work skills, that they didn’t train prisoners for modern farming and the annual $4 million cost to run them would be better spent elsewhere. The Conservatives said most prisoners involved in the program did not go into agricultural once they were released. There are issues with this. Most jobs would be located in rural areas, meaning fewer support programs for prisoners and lower levels of security. Still some farmers have employed workers with criminal records. With only six farms and 300 prison farmers, the six facilities — in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta — were indeed small potatoes, but not to the prisoners involved, nor to the people in whose communities prison farms operated. The Liberals are now considering a modest proposal to re-open two of the farms near Kingston, Ontario. A report on the issue is expected shortly. As columnist Kelsey Johnson reported, public input on the idea drew more than 6,000 responses, with the vast majority in favour of reestablishing the operations. In 2009, when the Conservatives first announced the closures, John Edwards, who was commissioner of Corrections Services of Canada from 1993 to 1996, said the farms “provide value for money, definitely,” adding, “I think it is a wrong-headed and short-sighted decision to close them down.” There is actually very little data on whether prison farms pay for themselves, wheth-

er prisoners go into agriculture upon release, or whether the rehabilitative or therapeutic benefits are valid, according to observations made in 2009 by University of Toronto assistant professor of sociology Phillip Goodman, who looked at the farm closure debate. Still, it is a worthwhile endeavour to restart the two farms and evaluate their effectiveness with empirical data, rather than anecdotal evidence or ideological objectives. Some things appeal to common sense. While the techniques used at prison farms may not be the same as those used on commercial operations, allowing federal prisoners — whose crimes are, by nature, fairly serious — to reap the fruits of their labour and gain an appreciation for patience, persistence, resourcefulness and responsibility, is a good foundation for those who will seek productive lifestyles upon their release. Food from prison farms is used in prison menus, and some goes to local community efforts such as food banks, all of which serves to offset some of the costs. (Prison farms supplied about $2 million in produce to Canada’s penitentiaries.) There is something to be said for the accomplishment of prisoners who are able to put food on the table of their fellow inmates, but how do you measure the value of such an effort? And as for rehabilitation, among the goals of the federal programs are living skills, violence prevention and employment readiness. Whatever the technical skills prison farmers learn, the ethic they embrace while farming can be helpful in these areas. When the farms closed, the Liberals promised to rejuvenate the project. Now is their chance.

Numerous issues at forefront as politicians return to Hill CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

ummer is officially drawing to a close and Canada’s federal politicians are heading back to Parliament Hill. After two months in their ridings, MPs are facing a busy fall agenda as the Liberals settle into office. For Canadian agriculture, there are several files worth watching. At the House agriculture committee, MPs will pick up where they left off, continuing consultations on Canada’s next Agriculture Policy Framework now that Canada’s agriculture ministers set the framework’s outline in July at their annual meeting. With the broad

strokes in place, it’s expected the parliamentary committee will spend part of this fall meeting with stakeholders in various parts of the country as part of Agriculture Canada’s consultations. The next policy framework isn’t the only item on the committee’s agenda. Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay has been summoned to the committee “at his earliest convenience” to provide an update on the ongoing diafiltered milk issue. A date for that appearance has not be scheduled. MacAulay has also instructed the agriculture committee to study Canada’s current regulations on genetically modified animals this fall, an order that was issued after Health Canada approved a specific GM salmon last spring. The committee must report back by December. The Conservatives, with the support of the NDP, called back the international trade committee over the summer for an emergency meeting on diafiltered milk and

spent fowl. A Conservative attempt to force the committee to study those issues further in August, including testimony from MacAulay, International Trade Minister Chrystia Freehand and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale failed to pass. The committee is set to reconvene Sept. 20. Also worth watching on the trade file: the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed international trade deal with Pacific Rim countries including Canada, and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union (CETA). Officials from the Prime Minister’s Officer said CETA was on the agenda for Canadian bilateral meetings with European officials during the recent G20 summit in China, although the outcomes of those meetings are not known. Meanwhile, Canada’s dairy and cheese producers are still waiting for details about a compensation

package for concessions made. As for the TPP, it’s crunch time for the U.S. presidential election. Both candidates have said they are opposed to the TPP trade deal, while congressional support remains hard to pin down. There’s also a parliamentary committee report expected on Canada’s beleaguered temporary foreign worker program . The report, which was rushed in June and includes testimony from agriculture stakeholders about their labour shortages, was supposed to be tabled before Parliament recessed for summer, but couldn’t be presented to the House in time. Also on the labour front, Employment Minister MaryAnn Mihychuck was shuffled quietly this summer off of a handful of internal cabinet committees. While this shuffle does not raise any issues about Mihychuck’s responsibilities outside of cabinet, it raise questions about the prime

minister’s confidence in her performance thus far. Lastly, Transport Canada consultations on the government’s plans to modernize Canada’s transportation system have wrapped up – albeit not without controversy. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay and Parliamentary Secretary Kate Young spent a week in Saskatchewan talking to stakeholders about rail transportation after it was revealed that neither Saskatchewan nor Manitoba’s agriculture ministers had been consulted by Ottawa on plans for the grain transportation file. Transport Minister Marc Garneau has said he plans to present his plan for Canada’s transportation system to the House this fall, with all eyes focused on how the transportation system handles this year’s big harvest.

ANIMAL WELFARE

U.S. policy leads to hopes for failure

Sensationalism versus the facts

BY ALAN GUEBERT

he most positive news about the most negative United States presidential campaign in modern history is that, in 80 or so days, we can forget to remember it. Or should that read “remember to forget it?” It’s hard to get the words right when it’s so easy for political actors to get them wrong. In their hands and on their lips facts become fiction and fiction becomes fact. For example, according to estimates from the not-for-profit, non-partisan U.S. Tax Policy Center, only 5,300 of the 2.4 million Americans who died in 2015, or only two of every 1,000, paid estate taxes. But, noted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in an Aug. 8 speech to the Detroit Economic Club, “American workers have paid taxes their whole lives, and they should not be taxed again at death and it’s just plain wrong and most people agree with that.” Of course most agree because almost all Americans, 998 out of every 1,000 in fact, never pay one penny of estate taxes. Trump isn’t alone in turning the truth into mush; it’s rural gospel that most American farmers and ranchers sell land to pay “death taxes.” But that, too, is fiction, says one of the most respected agricultural tax experts in the U.S., Iowa State University’s Neil Harl. In fact, says Harl, only 660 “decedents nationally”—Americans who died—in 2013 (the latest numbers available) reported owning

farm property. Of those, he notes, the “most striking feature is the increase in farm assets by the super wealthy.” As such, he explained to the Washington Post last year, “(P)ublic policy is not served by eliminating the federal estate tax which is the force behind this push to argue that ordinary farmers, bona fide farmers, are likely to pay a huge amount of federal estate tax. It simply is not true.” None of these facts, however, will keep U.S. political candidates — or several farm and ranch lobbying efforts — from campaigning on the tried-and-not-true “death tax” fiction. Truth, after all, is often unsparing and unflattering.

Take the 2014 U.S. farm bill — a sweeping document that sets out agriculture priorities and spending for years to come. Big Ag sold it as a cost-cutting, hands-off law that would give farmers better control over what they produced and, in turn, better control over their bottom lines. Initially, it did just that; total federal direct farm program payments fell in the U.S. from around $11 billion in 2013 to $9.7 billion in 2014. Then the ground shifted. Generous crop insurance benefits, included in the 2014 law, encouraged farmers to focus heavily on corn and soybean production in 2015 and 2016. The expanded acres, combined with good weath-

er, sent total production upward and crop prices downward. In turn, total federal program payments began to climb. In 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the “cost-saving” 2014 Farm Bill cost $10.6 billion. Earlier this year, USDA forecasted 2016’s total federal farm support will balloon to an estimated $13.9 billion, or 30 percent over last year’s cost and 40 percent more than 2014’s tab. Worse, the increased spending isn’t actually supporting farm and ranch income. Nationwide, total net farm income fell from $123.3 billion in 2013 to $90.5 billion in 2014, then to $56.4 billion in 2015 and, now, to a forecasted $54 billion in 2016. As such, the U.S. has a farm policy where taxpayers openly subsidize overproduction and lower prices, while everyone with a stake in food’s future — farmers, ranchers, and taxpayers — hopefully, or nervously, awaits a crop disaster to lift commodity and food prices. In light of this failure, will the 2014 farm bill be discussed on the campaign trail this election season or will producers and the public be offered the same tired platitudes about how “America feeds the world”? We need that discussion because the U.S. Congress elected this November will write the 2018 farm bill and all Americans deserve something better than a crop failure to make our farm policy a success.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Disappointing crop revenue across the Prairies HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

espite a large crop, profitability of the grain sector will decline this year. Here’s how crop returns stack up based on Saskatchewan numbers. In Alberta and Manitoba, average yields are somewhat higher, but costs per acre also tend to be somewhat higher so the general trends will be similar in most cases. The yield estimates are in bushels or pounds per acre and come from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture’s latest crop report. Prices come from various on-line sources and are expressed in dollars per bushel except for lentils, mustard and canaryseed which are in cents per pound.

Many producers have production contracted at higher prices, but this analysis is based on current prices on what is likely to be the dominant grade. Variable expenses (seed, fertilizer, chemical, crop insurance, fuel, etc.) for each crop come from the ministry’s Crop Planning Guides published back in January. In most instances, expenses from the dark brown soil zone have been used.

No. 2 CWRS No. 3 durum No. 2 red lentils Yellow peas Feed barley Malt barley Oats Canaryseed Canola Flaxseed Mustard Soybeans

Yield 44 46 1,200 42 68 68 85 1,200 38 26 1,300 27

Price 5.50 5.50 0.26 7.00 2.60 5.00 2.20 0.22 9.70 11.50 0.30 10.50

Fixed expenses (machiner y depreciation, land costs, repairs) vary greatly from one producer to the next, but most of us need a return over variable expenses of about $100 an acre to make money. As you can see from the table, given average yields at prevailing prices, many crops are falling short. Of course, some will have aboveaverage yields, others below average or have quality issues. Gross/ acre 242 253 312 294 177 340 187 264 369 299 390 284

Variable Expense 148 161 189 146 135 135 124 159 199 139 120 196

Return/ acre 94 92 123 148 42 205 63 105 170 160 270 88

Fusarium appears to be a huge downgrading factor in durum. With below-average-yields and dropping prices, red lentils are a major disappointment. Rarely has the average return for yellow peas outdistanced lentils, but it’s happening this year. Canola is showing strong yields and decent returns,and flaxseed isn’t far behind. Even with dropping spot prices, mustard shows substantially higher returns than the other two oilseeds, but the mustard market is limited. Malting barley is a bright spot for those with quality crops. While oat returns appear dismal, some producers generated high yields and have access to domestic processors or to the U.S. marketplace. Overall, many farms will see belttightening. Crop insurance claims will be up, particularly on lentils. Despite higher than normal yields, softening prices reduced returns.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

f you are wondering The Western Producer is running a photo and a story about an animal activist’s experience with a bloody l i v e s t o c k t ra i l e r ( p a g e 6 4 ) , I wouldn’t be surprised. Across the nation, the general media has picked up the story and run with it. But for the WP, this is not a “metoo” story that sensationalizes what is likely a relatively rare occurrence. We are covering it because our industry needs to be aware of how damaging these instances are. Consumers don’t see the hundreds of successfully delivered loads of livestock, only those that don’t go according to plan. We don’t know what happened in this instance. Livestock are living beings and as such they are prone to injuries and health issues that can appear suddenly and look terrible. In covering this industry, we write about its successes every day. You need to know about those, but you also need information about the times when you are made vulnerable and this is one of those times. As a news and information organization, we try not to take positions on either side of an argument, but provide balance to issues, other than in our editorials and opinion columns, such as this piece. And because this is an opinion piece I can say how poorly most of the media handle agriculture and food issues. I also know they need the sensational to sell soap. And for that, I blame all of us for undervaluing the news and information sector of our society. We have to rely on evermore shrinking advertising dollars to provide the news our society relies on to remain a functional democracy. Advertising chases eyeballs. The Internet, and other media forms, are following the money with sensational content that provides easy, low-cost hits of short, poorly researched information pabulum. We try to avoid that at the WP. ***** And speaking of editorials, we have two new columns to tell you about. Starting this week, on page 67, you will find a new column by Ed White. While you are familiar with Ed’s Hedge Row markets insight column, this deals with the culture of agriculture and what Ed observes of world around us. Another column coming soon, will deal with land. Buying, selling, owning, renting, rights, marketing transferring the stuff and, yes, what consumers and our fellow Canadian taxpayers think of it. Look for that starting next month, written by me. mike.raine@producer.com or text/call me at 306-221-8931

WATER RESEARCH

Flood forecasting part of water research program BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Floods, drought, irrigation and other agricultural concerns are all part of a huge seven-year water research project announced last week. The $143.7 million project, Global Water Futures, is headquartered at the University of Saskatchewan. About half the money, $77.8 million, will come from the Canada First Excellence Research Fund. There are 156 partners, including governments, universities, communities and non-governmental organizations, as well as corporate funding. John Pomeroy, a U of S water expert who is associate program director of the project, said this is the largest grant in the world ever awarded for water research, the largest U of S grant ever awarded and the largest university-led water research project. Agricultural concerns will be addressed as the researchers look at how to prepare for and deal with water-related issues, such as too much, too little, disappearing glaciers and quality problems. Agricultural runoff, for example, is a well-documented concern in Lake Erie and Lake Winnipeg but other water bodies such as Lake Diefenbaker are now suffering as well from algal growth due to excessive nutrient runoff. “I think it’s in everybody’s interests to keep that fertilizer on the ground so they can grow crops,” Pomeroy said. The project will look at techniques to retain nitrogen and phosphorous and offer management options to producers, he said. Research will include examining the impacts of wetland drainage, tile drainage, tillage practices and crop choices. Pomeroy said one goal for the end of the project is to have a national stream flow and flood forecasting system and water quality models in place to provide early warning for flood, drought and extreme weather events. “We can’t prevent them but with a lot of warning the damage from these extreme events is minimized,” he said. The second goal is to be able to estimate the availability, timing, amount and quality of water in different parts of Canada as the climate changes. For example, once the glaciers disappear, he wondered whether there will there be enough water for irrigation. The third goal is to improve information to communities or groups so they can make decisions. This would involve new models and tools and could include tailored weather inputs for precision farming and evaluating beneficial management practices. Pomeroy said there is a lot of information already in databases that isn’t publicly accessible. “We want to change that using cloud-based data storage, and a variety of apps and other things.”

Throughout the seven-year project the scientists plan to report to the public and various sectors by providing speakers to events. Pomeroy said it’s critical that complex information be disseminated in an easy-to-understand way. More information about the project can be found at gwf.usask.ca. karen.briere@producer.com

FERTILIZER PRODUCERS

Potash giants reach merger agreement Some industry players believe regulators will demand divestitures

CHUCK MAGRO NEW CEO

EXECUTIVE CHAIR

Chuck and I will run this company together. JOCHEN TILK, EXECUTIVE CHAIR

(Reuters) — Canadian fertilizer producers Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. and Agrium Inc. agreed to combine to navigate a severe industry slump by boosting efficiency and cutting costs, but the new company’s potential pricing power may attract tough regulatory scrutiny. The proposed all-stock changes come as industry profits have fallen due to excessive supply and soft farm incomes. It would combine Potash’s crop nutrient production capacity, the world’s largest, with Agrium’s farm

retail network, North America’s biggest, plus its own potash mine and fertilizer plants. Potash shareholders will own 52 percent of the new company, with a market capitalization of $26 billion. Agrium shareholders will own the rest if the deal closes in mid-2017 as planned. Agrium chief executive officer Chuck Magro will be CEO of the merged company. Potash Chief Executive Jochen Tilk, who will become executive chair, said the structure would create an “equal partnership.”

“Chuck and I will run this company together,” he said in an interview. Tilk said he was confident the transaction would receive regulators’ approval as proposed, without the need for divestitures. But others were skeptical that regulators would approve a company that would control nearly two-thirds of North American potash capacity and almost one-third of phosphate and nitrogen capacity there. Fertilizer makes up as much as one-third of costs for U.S. corn farmers, who are already hurting due to falling grain prices. “This deal has some real antitrust concerns,” said Seth Bloom, a U.S. Justice Department veteran who is now at Bloom Strategic Consulting. An antitrust review is unlikely before January, when a new U.S. president takes office, he added. The merger would leave Mosaic Co. as North America’s only other major potash producer. When just three companies dominate an industry, a merger of two of them is generally considered risky, said a U.S. antitrust expert who requested anonymity to protect business relationships. Agrium’s Magro said the companies’ plan to wring up to $500 million in synergies out of the deal, such as by combining Agrium’s western North America-based nitrogen business with Potash Corp’s in the East, would make for a more efficient industry. “In commodities, lower costs will be good for everyone, including the farmer,” he said in an interview. Annual cost savings would come from areas including distribution and retail integration, production and procurement but not from shutting any potash mines. The deal would dilute the importance of Agrium’s retail system, which sells fertilizer, seeds and chemicals to farmers, making it less strategically sound in the long term, said Robert Spafford, portfolio manager at Cidel Asset Management, which owns Agrium stock. “One of the reasons most investors own Agrium is the retail business,” said Spafford. “(Retail) is a much more stable business than the wholesale business.” The deal may have implications for Canpotex Ltd, which the two companies own with Mosaic. Tilk and Magro said they were committed to keep selling potash to offshore markets through Canpotex. Each of the three companies has equal sway in Canpotex board votes. Tilk said Mosaic would remain an equal partner, although details must still be worked out. Mosaic spokesperson Ben Pratt declined to comment on the merger but said the precedent within Canpotex was one vote per company. After the transaction closes, the new company will be based in Saskatoon, a key factor in winning over Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, whose influence is seen as important. “On the whole, it looks quite positive,” Wall told reporters.

AG POLICY FRAMEWORK

Group says ag programs should include trade issues Research group says the new ag framework should address changes in the sector, not just update of programs BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A n a g r i c u l t u ra l e c o n o m i c s research organization says discussion on the next agricultural policy framework should focus on more than just renewing the existing set of programs. Otherwise, the new agreement risks being unable to provide a stable base for the industry, says Guelph-based Agri-Food Economic Systems. The organization issued a policy note last week saying a bolder agreement is required to deal with changes in the sector and issues such as trade agreements and carbon initiatives. The Calgary Statement issued by the federal and provincial governments in July outlined the themes and priorities for the next APF. Governments have begun work on developing the replacement for Growing Forward 2, which expires March 31, 2018.

AL MUSSELL CO-AUTHOR

“We’ve got everybody at the table,” said co-author of the policy note Al Mussell. “If we could build that (discussion) out into something that goes further to really look at our policy direction, not just how our programs are structured and funded, we think that we have a really important opportunity to do that right now.” The authors identified demographic trends as a key factor that should shape the framework. Agr icultural census data is scheduled for release next May and Mussell said he expects the number of Canadian farms operating at much larger scales will shock some people. He said the number of farms with sales of more than $1 million or $2 million will be up sharply. “Now what are the chances that the needs of farms operating at over $2 million in sales, in terms of business risk management programming, are the same as farms operating at $50,000 in receipts?” he said. “We traditionally have a set of BRM programs that in effect treat one size fits all.” Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett said it’s true that existing BRM programs have aimed somewhere in the middle and that does cause problems. He said while big farms are get-

ting bigger, there is also a strong small farm sector focusing on local niche markets. Bonnett said crop insurance is needed no matter the farm size. “Some of the AgriInvest and AgriStability programs might need a different focus but we don’t have good enough information to suggest any drastic change at this point,” he said. He agreed a more robust planning process about the direction of Canadian agriculture is needed but said there likely isn’t time to include that in the next five-year agreement. And he said that type of work

should be separate from the APF process. “There needs to be a much more robust planning process about the direction that we’re going to go,”

Bonnett said. “I think that exercise is somewhat separate to the APF. The APF I would view as developing the tools to address the issues identified in the planning process.” Mussell said 18 months would be enough time if more people and resources were dedicated to the discussion. He said just looking at how issues in agriculture have changed since GF2 was implemented in 2013 should indicate how critical it is to have a broader discussion. He noted that federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay’s mandate includes the develop-

ment of a national food policy. “I think maybe farmers brush this off, but just watch what happens when you open the door to a national food policy,” Mussell said. “There will be people that advance opinions about how food should be produced that will seem very off the wall and odd and impractical and radical to a lot of the ag community, but the reality is if you’re going to have a national policy, you have to find some way to work with these varying opinions and still maintain a competitive and efficient system.” karen.briere@producer.com

BEEKEEPING INDUSTRY

Lack of labourers biggest issue facing beekeepers While winter kill and pesticide use are big issues in the media, beekeepers say their biggest problem is rules around foreign workers BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

For more than four years, Canadian beekeepers have been asking the federal government to change the rules for temporary foreign workers. Pesticides and their impact on colony health have dominated the news around bees in Canada, but temporary foreign workers and human resource issues are a much larger headache for beekeepers. “For commercial beekeepers it’s the biggest issue they have on the table. That includes bee health… and anything else,” said Rod Scarlett of the Canadian Honey Council.

In 2011 the former Conservative government changed the TFW program, reducing the number of years a worker could remain in Canada. Known as the four and four rule, if a foreigner worked in Canada for a cumulative total of four years the worker became ineligible to work in the country for four years. Beekeepers have said the rule is ridiculous and is damaging to the country’s honey industry. It can take years to train a foreign worker or for that person to become competent in English. Forcing someone to leave, after they’ve become a skilled employee, makes no sense.

“A lot of our beekeepers have staff of 10, 30 or 40 foreign workers. They (the employees) develop an expertise that makes the operation successful,” Scarlett said. “If they leave they can find employment in New Zealand or Australia, which is our competition (for honey production)…. It (the rule) allows us to train employees for our competition.” The House of Commons is scheduled to return to session Sept. 19 and shortly after politicians will hear a report on TFW from the standing committee on human resources. The parliamentary committee held hearings on the TFW program

in the spring, as the government is planning to modify the system. A number of organizations and companies from the agri-food industry made presentations to the committee, including Maple Leaf Foods, Hylife, the National Cattle Feeders Association and the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council. The committee’s report won’t be the final word on TFW because the program also spills into the realm of Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The immigration minister, John McCallum, hinted this summer that the government might simplify or eliminate the Labour Market

Impact Assessment (LMIA) for certain categories of foreign workers. Employers must apply for a LMIA before hiring a foreign worker, to demonstrate that no Canadians are available to do the job. Beekeepers and others in the agrifood sector have complained that the process is painfully slow, as it can take months for the government to process a LMIA and approve the hiring of a foreigner. Ron Davidson, Canadian Meat Council director of trade, media and government relations, said the meat industry isn’t overly concerned with the LMIA process. They’re more worried about 2014 changes to the TFW program. In the spring of 2014 the feds modified the program but agricultural producers were exempt from the new restrictions. One key change was the amount of time that foreigners can remain in Canada. Now foreign workers can only stay in the country two years: a one-year work permit plus a one-year extension. Previously they could stay four years: a twoyear permit plus a two-year extension. Maple Leaf Foods and others in the meat sector say the new rule has “broken” the path for foreign workers to become permanent residents because there isn’t enough time to learn English. “With the old system we (meat companies) were operating huge language classes to prepare people for full integration into the Canadian economy,” Davidson said. “Now because of the current requirements we’re having to restrict, to a significant extent, the sources of workers to Anglophone countries, or Francophone.” The Meat Council is open to other policies that will restore the flow of foreign workers and help people become permanent residents. But a solution is needed, soon, because there are hundreds of vacant positions at meat processing plants and at some point the lack of labour becomes unsustainable. robert.arnason@producer.com

CANADIANS DON’T LIKE FOREIGN WORKERS The federal government is caught between a rock and a bigger rock when it comes to foreign workers. Small businesses and large companies are desperate for foreigners because they say Canadians are unwilling to butcher animals, tend to bees, clean hotel rooms or serve coffee. But a Nanos Research poll, released Sept. 1, indicates most Canadians are hostile to foreign workers. Nanos and the Globe and Mail found that 45 percent of respondents oppose allowing temporary foreign workers into the country if Canadians are qualified for those same jobs and looking for work. About 29 percent of Canadians somewhat oppose foreign workers, 17 percent somewhat support and only seven percent support the idea. Source: Nanos Survey

WATER QUALITY

Ontario residents say wind farm vibrations threaten groundwater The rural community says they depend on the aquifer every day and wants the North Kent Wind One project halted BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

CHATHAM-KENT, Ont. — Vibrations from wind turbines, a phenomena known as seismic coupling, is being blamed for sedimentation in more than 20 water wells in this southwestern Ontario municipality. More than 460 rural residents have signed a petition, which was presented to the municipal council Aug. 22, asking for a moratorium on further development. Thousands of dollars have been raised to help Kevin Jakubec make an appeal to halt the latest wind farm, approved June 29 under Ontario’s Green Energy Act. “We are not backing down. There comes a point where the rural community draws a line, and that line is the North Kent Wind One project,” Jakubec said.

KEVIN JAKUBEC SPOKESPERSON

“The people are coming out to protect the 12,000-year-old aquifer because they depend on it every day.” Hundreds of turbines are located in Chatham-Kent, one of the largest concentrations in North America. The controversy concerns those in the former Township of Dover just east of Lake St. Clair and a new project, North Kent Wind One, headed by Pattern Energy and Samsung Renewable Energy. Jakubec said developers were informed of the concern at a public meeting last November but have yet to respond. Ontario’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has acknowledged there may be concern. Under the Renewable Energy Approval, Pattern and Samsung are to test well water if residents complain, offer an opinion as to whether turbines are to blame, and supply bottled water until the issue is resolved. A spokesperson with Pattern Energy said his company is willing

address concerns from the public but would not answer any questions at this point due to the pending environmental hearing. Jakubec said the requirements are inadequate and do not address well water concerns near wind developments already in operation. He and members of the citizen’s group Water Wells First want the new development stopped and have other turbines fixed or shut down until groundwater issues are addressed. “There’s a total disconnect here to rural people. They don’t understand the implications for their quality of life,” Jakubec said. “The people in Dover have had clear water for decades and then it changed. What was it that happened? It was the turbines.” Resident Mark St. Pierre told the Chatham-Kent council that his problems began nine years ago with the construction of a wind farm near his home. He drilled a new well thinking that his old well had passed its useful life, but with the construction of additional turbines near his home the problem re-turned. Jakubec said well water issues are often first noticed when piles are driven into the earth to anchor the giant machines. In some instances, problems clear up but in others they continue. There have even been cases of turbidity levels fluctuating in relationship to the direction and intensity of the wind. Longtime well driller Ken Wade of Port Lambton has been working with Jakubec and informed the Ontario Ground Water Association (OGWA) of the issue. Wade said turbidity problems should come as no surprise. The same phenomenon has occurred as the result of earthquakes, oil and gas exploratory work and even thunderstorms, he said. Wade said turbines can be retrofitted to dampen vibrations and alternative anchoring systems are available, but those would cost more. The water table is fragile in Dover, part of a geological area stretching from Lake Huron to ChathamKent. There are just 50 to 70 feet of overburden in most places covering black shale bedrock. Wade said it’s often difficult to find water and when it is found the flow is often low. Jakubec and Craig Stainton,

executive director of the OGWA, said the approval process appears stacked against landowners. Once a Renewable Energy Approval is granted, there’s only 15 days to appeal and it’s up to the appellant to prove a risk to human health or the environment. It’s also a costly process. Jakubec said at least $200,000 is needed to pay for the legal fees and expert opinions. Jakubec and Stainton said there are studies from Scotland and Italy that have identified seismic coupling. Jakubec, a green energy researcher, said impacts tend to be felt from 1.5 to five kilometres away from turbine locations. It’s an ironic situation Jakubec said, that while wind energy is often viewed in a favourable light, in Chatham-Kent it has had a negative impact on the aquifer.

Sowing seeds of crop destruction There’s nothing more exhilarating to pulse crop researchers than a diseased field BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

MORDEN, Man. — Bob Conner sounds like a proud papa when he shows off a patch of withered, wilting, dying bean plants. “This is our white mould nursery,” he explained to a group of bean growers, agronomists, advisers and agriculture researchers. “We will be irrigating if we have to…. We want to create the ideal conditions for an epidemic.” Conner is a lead researcher at Agriculture Canada’s Morden research station and an organizer of the pulse crop disease studies, which involve hundreds of varieties from many different beans, peas and soybeans. Unlike farmers who strive all season to lower the risks of infection from bacterial and fungal infections, Conner, fellow researchers and summer agriculture students work hard to make the plants sick. “We’ve done just about everything a grower wouldn’t do,” said Conner during a Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers tour Aug. 23.

Agriculture Canada researcher Bob Conner is pleased with his efforts to produce a sickly bean crop, explaining to field tour participants how researchers encourage diseases to find ways to fight them. | ED WHITE PHOTOS “We have a perverse view of the world.” They appear to be very good at what they do.

though, as eager agronomists, advisers, centre staff and farmers wade in to the crops to try to find good examples. “There’s a really good bean lesion here,” exclaims one person on the tour as she finds a bean pod massively infected by the “cigarette burn” craters of anthracnose.

“Ooooooh, that’s nice,” replied a colleague. “Yup, that’s classic,” said a Manitoba Agriculture adviser. “Nice find,” commented another. Although farmers might have trouble believing it, creating disease within a crop isn’t easy, especially because many varieties carry

genes designed to resist common field risks. In these plots, the crops are kept moist and the soil wet. Lack of a proper rotation is a valued situation if researchers are trying to encourage disease. And they actually sow the soil with disease from bags of crop plague they have carefully stored. Where does one obtain a bag of the black fungus that spreads white mould? “We buy our sclerotinia” from a sunflower plant that cleans it out from seed deliveries, said Conner. “We’ll buy a sack of sclerotinia.” Detecting the differences between diseases is important in diagnosing a sick crop and many of those on the tour seem to treat it as a combination of science and art. Conner seems to take that approach too, describing one element of crop sickness almost as a wine lover might describe a vineyard. “You can almost smell the disease,” he said, surrounded by yellowed, wilted, broken and stunted bean crops. “When the plants begin to rot there’s a rotten smell.” Some in the group of scientists, advisers and farmers nodded with appreciation, and many appeared to be sniffing carefully to catch the elusive perfume of plague. ed.white@producer.com

MORDEN, Man. — During a wet summer like this one, farmers turned en masse to fungicides and other treatments to fight crop disease. However, researchers say the best defence is to first lay down a strong foundation of resistance and then build upon that. So while farmers struggled to spray, bedeviled by wet soils, thick canopies and other complications, researchers at places like the Morden Research Centre plugged away at improving prairie pulse

crops for another year. To them, equipping farmers with varieties that have strong resistance to likely diseases, helps farmers get one step ahead of problems. “Those lines will be pulled from the test,” said Agriculture Canada researcher Bob Conner, referring to pea varieties that appear to be losing genetic resistance to powdery mildew. “There is no tolerance (from researchers for susceptibility for the disease.) If they have powdery mildew, they have to be removed from the test.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

DISEASE RESEARCH

Morden and other research centres work on hundreds of lines of pulse crops, trying to find wellyielding, hardy, disease resistant plants. They also study diseases, trying to find what makes them dangerous. After years of ongoing development, they release new varieties as they become ready, with most new lines providing better resistance to diseases and better yields. Peas that are immune to powdery mildew provide an example of one success story. A nearly 100 percent level of protection comes from genetic resistance bred into the main lines of the crop. That comes from a few genes, but one, known as ER1, is the one that appears to provide almost complete control. It still works, but scientists are always watching out for a disease strain resistant to that protection. “We have been expecting for a long time for this resistance to break down and fortunately it hasn’t happened,” said Conner. “Nobody can tell you why. It’s a big concern that maybe one day a new (mildew) race will come around and if it does, it will be widespread.” But in the meantime in peas, lentils, dry beans and other pulse and mainstream crops, researchers continually upgrade the diseasefighting abilities to protect them from tomorrow’s threats. This year proved a heavy one for many diseases, but regardless, researchers pushed ahead with foundational work designed to confront future challenges.

Cause of bean spot baffles experts

Cranberry bean marsh spot isn’t visible until the seed is split open BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It’s nice to find a simple cause and a simple solution to a crop disease, but with cranberry bean marsh spot that’s probably not going to happen. Instead, researchers are reaching toward an understanding and building a complex response. “There’s a big environmental component to this disease,” said Bob Conner, an Agriculture Canada researcher at the research centre in Morden, Man. “It’s probably a little more complex than just being one micronutrient.” Cranberry bean marsh spot isn’t easily visible in the field, but it leaves an obvious mark in the middle of beans. “You don’t really know you have a problem until the seeds are split,” said Conner. Because people don’t want to eat it, processors generally won’t buy affected beans, even though marsh spot is not a health concern. The disease is also believed to affect germination rate and seedling vigour. Cranberry bean marsh spot is not caused by a pathogen, a type of parasitic life form. It is more similar

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

75 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 18, 1941

A wary opposition agreed to pass second reading of a massive bill to revamp Canadian transportation policy after the minority federal government promised it wouldn’t affect the Crow’s Nest Pass rates on grain shipments. The legislation would set up a new super regulatory body called the Canadian Transport Commission to administer all transport policy. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool introduced a four-point plan to expand Canadian wheat and flour exports. It included special assistance to flour mills in developing countries to introduce them to the benefits of using Canadian wheat and research to develop special wheat products for overseas markets where ordinary forms of bread were not in common use.

Farmers’ smoldering resentment against the federal government burst into open antagonism at protest meetings across Saskatchewan. Producers were angry with 50 cent a bushel wheat and greatly reduced incomes. Thousands of farmers attended the meetings at Melville, Shaunavon, Semans, Gravelbourg, Assiniboia and Saskatoon.

RURAL SECTOR SUPPORT

Program helps women start business New Alberta program is designed to help rural women tackle challenges of financing and time management BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A woman’s idea for a rural-based agri-food business may be excellent but seeing that idea come to fruition can be fraught with obstacles. She may be juggling many demands on the farm, such as machinery operation, child care, livestock care and an off-farm job. She might lack confidence in her business skills or would benefit from advice, mentoring and a network of like-minded rural women entrepreneurs. A pilot project being developed by Alberta’s Agriculture and Food Council aims to eliminate some of those obstacles and help rural women bring their agri-business ideas to life. “In our rural farm sector are diversification opportunities and in a lot of cases it’s the women taking the lead on those, so we wanted to kind of focus in rural Alberta and identify, are there barriers that you are finding, whether they’re gender related or just business barriers or a c o m b i n a t i o n ,” s a i d He a t h e r

Broughton, the community animator for the Success for Women in Agri-Food project. The AFC surveyed more than 200 Albertans involved in agriculture using online responses, interviews and focus groups. It compiled the results and plans to launch a program in 2017. Broughton said various themes emerged around challenges faced by women who want to start an agri-business. “Finance was identified by the masses … business management skills and basic finance,” she said. Nichole Neubauer of Medicine Hat, who operates Neubauer Farms with her husband and also runs the Growing Minds agriculture education program, agreed that finance and business planning are vital. Isolation can exacerbate the issue but “a bigger challenge yet is understanding the importance and validity of things like business plans, cash flow statements,” said Neubauer. “You might have a great idea for a business project but you need some start-up capital from a lend-

ing agency to try and get the idea off the ground and so that’s where it becomes really important to be able to understand what you need to present and how to present it in such a way that you can secure a little bit of funding. Most ideas cost a bit to get rolling.” Kristen Ritson-Bennett of Blue Rock Animal Nutrition in Innisfail, Alta., agreed that more knowledge about finance and business would have been a major advantage when she started the firm with a partner. “I had no business training, so we’re winging it,” she said. Combine that with a spouse who is an on-call veterinarian, an 18-month-old baby and a sheep

operation at home, and RitsonBennett has no trouble filling her days. “It has been really challenging to balance it all,” said Ritson-Bennett. “I am really looking for a female mentor who can tell me that it’s all going to work out at the end of the day.” Broughton said one woman surveyed via AFC research noted that a banker, when approached for a business loan, asked what her husband thought of her idea. Ritson-Bennett said she hasn’t encountered gender discrimination but as a woman working in a man’s world, she has felt that men don’t understand the pressures that motherhood can create in terms of time management. That is also a challenge for Neubauer. “Lots of women play key roles in the day-to-day operations of the farm, whether they’re working with the animals, the livestock, driving machinery … plus maintaining the home, getting the kids to where they need to be, so time management is another crucial factor.” Broughton said that might be

addressed in the upcoming pilot. In surveys, many women identified child care as a barrier to allowing them enough time to pursue a business startup. “Child care came up in every session in every focus group simply because child care in rural Alberta is harder to find and be affordable at the same time, so unless you have a support system, i.e. extended family or friends who can help you out, that does prove to be a barrier.” Broughton, Neubauer and Ritson-Bennett agreed that a system of networking or mentorship would be useful to rural business women, and modern technology may be able to address the distance and isolation issues faced by many. The debut of the AFC-developed program on Nov. 19 will occur simultaneously in Fairview, Vermilion, Parkland County, Olds and Lethbridge. The program itself, potentially a series of workshops addressing the various barriers, is expected to be launched in late January. barb.glen@producer.com

BUSINESS VENTURE

SELF-IMPROVEMENT

Ag tourism risky, but satisfying

The pursuit of happiness

Couple enjoys success with saskatoon berry U-pick, bakery, petting zoo and gift shop

SPEAKING OF LIFE

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

MAPLE CREEK, Sask. — When Dan Sellinger and Dana Hassett returned to their hometown of Maple Creek, Sask., they could not convince lenders that an agri-tourism business would work. The couple purchased Sellinger’s 20-acre family property in 2007, moving in 2011 and putting in 10 acres of saskatoons and a new retail and bakery space. Despite having a business plan showing that 325,000 people travel past their Grotto Gardens each summer, banks were wary. “They thought it was risky because it was seasonal and in Saskatchewan you don’t see this kind of agri-tourism as much as you do in B.C.,” said Hassett. The couple lived and raised three children in the Okanagan for 16 years. Sellinger operated his own construction company, but always wanted to return to southwestern Saskatchewan. That time came after the cancer death of their son, Dean, at age 14 and the passing of Sellinger’s mother. They began to build their agritourism business, taking on construction jobs on the side to support their dream. “We’re project people so for us it’s not so much about the money or the recognition. It’s just having something to do and with this particular project, there is endless growth potential,” said Sellinger. Future plans include a bigger animal area, duck pond, windmill and pumpkin patch. The retail side officially opened this past spring after Sellinger and Hassett were able to work with Southwest Community Futures in Swift Current to secure a loan for the new log barn, a centrepiece of the business. The couple’s daughters, Sayla and Silken, joined their parents for the summer. Sayla and her husband, Taylor Zoethout, took care of the front end of the bakery and gift shop while pasty chef Silken churned out saskatoon pies, fruit tarts, fresh bread and c h o c o l at e eclairs in the kitchen. The family is averaging 400 visitors a day, outpacing original estimates for capturing traffic from Highway 21. The goats that scale a 10-metre high maze draw in traffic, while the chickens, gourmet coffees and pastries keep tourists busy. “It’s beyond our assumptions so we’re extremely happy with that,” said Hassett. About two-thirds of sales come from the bakery while the remaining third is generated by the gift shop and U-pick saskatoons. Hassett said support has come from both the community of Maple Creek and visitors travelling to and from Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

My girlfriend told me that all she wants out of life is to be happy. When she said that, I thought that my part would be easy. All I had to do was figure out how to make her happy and she and I would be together for a long time. The only problem is that I am not too sure how to make her happy. She gets mad and frustrated when I do things for her that I think will please her and when I don’t do anything at all, she gets even more frustrated. I can’t do anything right. I like this girl and I am hoping that one day soon she will agree to marry me but I am not sure that I can carry on like this. Do you have any suggestions?

Sellinger hopes Grotto Gardens will include all of his children and future grandchildren working alongside him one day. “Our whole intent is for our girls

and their families to take what we’ve started here and run with it,” said Sellinger, who envisions other fruit here in future. Hassett said the success of

Grotto Gardens has proven there is an appetite for agri-tourism and a focus on local products. “We can see it because our numbers show it.”

You are not responsible for your girlfriend’s happiness. She is. And until she takes that responsibility, nothing you do will make her happy. Happiness comes from the inside, not the outside. As we wander through our personal journeys in life, we run into a number of different experiences, some of which are fun, exciting and exhilarating. Other experiences are not so wonderful and often depressing and discouraging. People who are happy tend to focus on the fun and exciting experiences. Those who are not so happy get caught in their depressing moments. Happiness for your girlfriend will come when she is able to get more excitement from her own life. Happy people have more in common with each other than just great memories. They have warm, loving, intimate relationships with at least one other person and they tend not to carry grudges. They care about other people and are often generous with their love and support. They spend more time doing what they do well than they do frustrating themselves with those tasks they cannot possibly complete. The happy people are the ones out jogging, watching their diets, sleeping properly and getting regular medical checkups. If you are sincere about helping your girlfriend, your best bet is to do a great job of looking after yourself. Enjoy what you can of your own daily responsibilities, do what you enjoy doing and let yourself care about the well-being of your community. We tend to mirror those we love the most. If you enjoy and appreciate your own life, chances are reasonably good that your girlfriend will mirror you. She will follow suit and find enjoyment in her own way, and bring excitement into the relationship.

Sustainable agriculture offers satisfaction Couple direct markets their heritage poultry and heirloom vegetables and preserves food for their own use BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TAWATINAW, Alta. — Beans are planted beside potatoes to keep beetles at bay, hygienic Saskatraz queen bees from Saskatchewan keep hives clean and rooting pigs rototill the corrals. Sheldon Marko and Natalie Pepin employ these sustainable

practices on their Stoney Creek Farms in north-central Alberta where they produce a variety of heirloom vegetables and heritage livestock and poultry for their 40 Community Supported Agriculture customers. “There is value in bringing a lot of species to the same place,” said Pepin, who has a permaculture design certificate.

Marko, who farmed conventionally for many years, turned to growing non-genetically modified varieties without chemical inputs after his grandmother died from a cancer heavily influenced by environmental toxins. He works full time on the Tawatinaw farm while Pepin farms and also does business consultations and financial and marketing plan-

ning for clients. “We’re trying to figure out different options, models and keep track of what we do and how we do it,” said Pepin. “The goal is to optimize what is profitable. A mistake is to go too big too quickly.” They make weekly deliveries of food boxes into Edmonton, adding local fruit and organic fruit from British Columbia, marketing via Facebook and their website, stoneycreekfarms.ca. “We try to give them a reason not to visit the grocery store as often,” said Pepin. They say typical customers include young families, professionals and the health conscious. “They want to feel good about what they’re eating, they want peace of mind,” said Pepin. They chose direct marketing but found farmers markets offered little return for their investment of time. “There wasn’t enough traffic to make it worth it,” said Marko. Seeds are saved from gardens planted sequentially with nine varieties of potatoes, five types of squash, five different carrots, eight kinds of beans and 20 tomato varieties. The pair believes seeding cover crops of clover, barley and oats minimizes weed growth. They use organic solutions such as neem oil and soap to combat bugs in the gardens. They are not certified organic but treat sick animals with homeopathic remedies. “The goal is to keep the animal healthy so we don’t have to treat it,” said Pepin. They can access 480 acres of mostly forest and hayland, but raise the majority of their produce and livestock on 20 acres near a sleepy hamlet named for a Cree word meaning big valley. Marko said the lack of cultivated fields in the surrounding cattle country means their bees are not feeding on GM crops. The bees also are adept at cleaning mites out of their hives, he said. Critters in the yard include meat and layer chickens, turkeys, geese ducks, pigs, sheep and rabbits. The couple has acquired a Jersey cow in hopes of starting a breeding program for miniature Jersey cattle. They also will continue setting up a greenhouse for year round grow-

They were initially engaged to provide healthy food to the home. It was a shared interest in farming that brought together the couple, whose blended family includes six children. Their goal is to be sustainable and they are doing that by producing and preserving the food they eat, making candles and cheese, milling feed rations and buying unsprayed or organic feed. “The goal is to preserve enough food for a year,” said Pepin. Marko said they give their animals plenty of space within outdoor pens and inside a large barn, noting injuries are more likely to occur than disease. Dogs and guns are used to control aggressive predators like coyotes and foxes. Farming this way means a lot of work for the couple, who employ part-time help to put together food boxes each week. “I can sleep when I’m dead,” said Marko. karen.morrison@producer.com

FARM LIVING MEDICAL RISKS

Complications from surgery, mental illness HEALTH CLINIC

Other complications include the surgeon accidentally cutting into nearby organs, post-operative infections and excessive scarring.

MENTAL ILLNESS

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Does being smart make you more likely to suffer from a mental illness?

What are general surgical risks and how can you prepare yourself for the best possible outcome? I see some people who are overweight and assume that hip and knee replacements will solve their problems, but most probably would be helped immensely by losing the extra pounds.

There seems to be a tendency these days for people to assume there is a surgical cure for almost any ailment, but surgery has risks. Even a simple tonsillectomy can be fatal because there is a risk of a major hemorrhage from accidentally cutting an artery that lies close to the tonsils. Researchers in the United States found obese patients had a significantly higher risk of post-operative complications such as heart attack, wound infection, nerve injury and urinary tract infections. People who were more than 100 pounds over their ideal weight were almost twice as likely to die from complications. Some patients who were asked to lose weight and have physiotherapy and other exercises for their knee, back and hip problems discovered a reduction in pain improved to the point that there was no need for surgery. General anesthesia is safer than it used to be because of newer drugs, but some patients can still develop an allergic reaction. Inserting the breathing tube, a process known as intubation, can be tricky, particularly in an unconscious patient. Food or fluid can be breathed into the lungs accidentally, which is one reason why you are asked not to eat or drink for several hours before undergoing surgery. Blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate can increase dramatically in some patients. People with existing heart conditions should consult the anesthetist to discuss the risks or take certain preventive measures. For example, if someone is taking anticoagulants to thin the blood, they may be required to discontinue these pills for a few days before the surgery to decrease the risk of excessive bleeding. Deep vein thrombosis is a wellknown risk of surgery and the postoperative period. Blood clots may start in the leg veins or at the site of the operation and can travel to the heart, lungs or brain. Inactivity during the recovery period is one of the main reasons for blood clots, which is why nurses get you get moving as soon as possible.

They measured the IQ of a large group of children aged eight, who were then later tested for manic traits when they turned 22 or 23. Lead researcher Daniel Smith, in

The Guardian, said there might be a genetic advantage to this psychiatric disorder. “One possibility is that serious disorders of mood, such as bipolar disorder, are the price that human beings have had to pay for more adaptive traits such as intelligence, creativity and verbal proficiency,” he said.

NEWS SHIPPER DECLARES BANKRUPTCY

Canadian pulses stranded at sea

WINNIPEG (CNS Canada) — The bankruptcy of a major Korean shipping company has raised concerns for Canadian pulse crops moving by container, but any disruptions to movement will likely be minor, according to an industry analyst. Hanjin Shipping Co., the world’s seventh-largest container shipping company, declared bankruptcy Aug. 31, leaving more than half of its 141 vessel fleet and roughly US$14 billion worth of cargo stranded at sea. Canadian pulse and special crops often move by container, and some shipments are likely tied up by the bankruptcy proceedings. While the timing of Hanjin’s bankruptcy right before Canada’s new crop shipments begin in earnest likely limited the impact on

pulse movement, there will still be short-term pain for those exporters caught up in the situation, said Chuck Penner, of LeftField Commodity Research. A large portion of the world’s shipping containers is now caught up by the bankruptcy proceedings, which is expected to lead to an increase in shipping rates. At the same time, Canada is anticipating a large pulse export program, which may lead to “a short-term blip” in rates as exporters need to make alternative arrangements, said Penner. However, “once the bankruptcy proceedings are sorted out, those ships and containers don’t evaporate; they’ll be bought by someone else at a lower price,” said Penner. “That capacity is tied up for now in these bankruptcy proceedings, but won’t go away in the long term.”

JOINT FUNDING

New funding arrangements benefit oats, barley breeding Changes will enable breeders to develop varieties better suited to malting markets, such as craft brewing BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Changes in Western Canada’s agricultural research funding environment should boost resources and improve funding stability to plant breeding programs, including those at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, says a top official at the Western Grains Research Foundation. Garth Patterson, executive director with the WGRF, said the establishment of producer-governed wheat and barley commissions in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba will allow breeding programs to develop new cereal varieties in a more reliable funding environment. Patterson made the comments after the WGRF, the Saskatchewan

Barley Commission, the Alberta Barley Commission and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association, announced a joint funding agreement that will see Western Canada’s barley growers contribute $2.4 million over the next five years to the CDC barley breeding program. The five-year funding agreement is effective until December 2020. “We’re really planning ahead here … and by having the commission involved in this agreement, there will be a natural transition to a new agreement in 2020 for (the commissions),” said Patterson. Changes in the funding stem from a federal government decision to eliminate the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk marketing powers as of Aug. 1, 2012. That decision also spawned various changes in how producer

GARTH PATTERSON WESTERN GRAINS RESEARCH FOUNDATION

checkoffs are collected. A transitional producer checkoff known as the Western Canadian Deduction (WCD) was set up. As well, new provincial wheat and barley commissions were established in the three prairie provinces to invest checkoff dollars on behalf of producers. The WCD, meanwhile, is due to expire in a little less than a year.

It is expected that revenue collected through the WCD will be rolled into existing checkoffs collected by the commissions. It means producer checkoffs for wheat and barley are nearly twice what they were before August 2012. Aaron Beattie, head of the oat and barley breeding programs at the CDC, said the $2.4 million agreement will allow the program to expand and develop new varieties better suited to existing feed and malting markets. He said the extra funding will also allow the CDC to cover inflationary costs related to salaries and equipment. It will allow CDC to dedicate more resources to new market segments such as the craft brewing industry, which prefers barley varieties with slightly different

malting and brewing characteristics. Beattie said enhanced funding will allow the barley program to make greater use of molecular markers to assist with selections and the creation of new lines of barley. The $2.4 million contribution is expected to be the WGRF’s last direct contribution to core barley breeding activities at the CDC. The WGRF will no longer collect producer levies as of August 2017, but it will continue to manage the WGRF endowment fund, which is expected to generate more than $6 million per year. WGRF board members are reassessing funding priorities to determine how that research money will be allocated. brian.cross@ producer.com

EQUIPMENT RETROFIT

Oilfield dryers get summer job on farms The flameless dryers are retrofitted to dry grain without transferring it from the bin, saving time and reducing kernel damage BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A slowdown in the oil and gas sector provided the impetus for an innovation in grain drying. ConleyMax, a company that rents its patented flameless air heaters to the oil and gas sector, started looking for alternative income streams when that sector of the economy took a downturn. Chief executive officer Kevin Baker noticed that many of his farmer employees had to take time off to go back to the farm to haul grain to a commercial dryer, or shuttle it back and forth from the bin to their own on-farm grain dryer. “We were just talking to them and saying there’s a better way of doing this,” he said. Baker knew that his collection of 300 portable, flameless dryers could be retrofitted to hook up to aeration systems on modern grain bins. “We just said, ‘We should go and hook one of these babies up to your bins and see how it works,’ ” said Baker. It worked so well that the company set about designing equipment and hoses to connect the units to the bins. This is the second year the friction-based dryers are being

used in the agriculture sector. Baker said 30 large farming operations have rented the machines. The biggest advantage they provide farmers is the ability to dry down grain without having to move it out of bins, saving time and trucking costs. Baker said it works particularly well with a crop like lentils because it eliminates the risk of chipping, cracking or splitting the crop, as can happen when using traditional mechanical dryers. “When you put it in a normal drying operation, it spins like a washing machine and it chips the lentils and that takes the grade off of them,” he said. Baker has calculated that the savings of maintaining a No. 1 quality lentil instead of downgrading to a No. 2 is $7.57 a bushel, or $36,000 per quarter section, based on an average yield of 30 bushels per acre. The machines also work well for drying barley, a crop sensitive to heat. The automated dryers can be set to limit the maximum drying temperature, reducing the risk of downgrading the crop from malt to feed.

ABOVE: Ducting can feed more than one bin at a time. | KEVIN BAKER PHOTOS “We never started this business to be in the agriculture business at all, but what we’ve been able to accomplish is something that is pretty spectacular,” said Baker. In addition to the potential for increased revenue and decreased costs, the heaters are safer to operate around grain dust than flamebased heaters. The ConleyMax machines intrigue Ron Palmer, a retired University of Regina engineering professor, who has conducted extensive research on grain drying. “The concept is excellent,” he said. Palmer appreciates that the machines are portable, can be towed from bin to bin and do not

To dry a full bin of grain takes 10 to 12 hours and costs 70 to 80 cents per bushel

require power. He believes they would be ideal for remote sites that lack access to power. But he doesn’t believe it is a technological revolution. “You could easily build this yourself (for) a whole lot less money,” said Palmer. “This is nothing more than if I took a genset and stuck it in front of an existing aeration fan. I could achieve the same thing for a whole lot less.” He acknowledged that the homemade version would require hoses, fittings and a trailer, and for that reason some farmers may prefer renting the equipment. Baker said Palmer’s genset version doesn’t have the safety features of the ConleyMax dryers, such as a brushless alternator, positive air shut-off and over-speed shut down. “You could do what he says, but

it’s a huge safety risk,” he said. And it would require supervision, while the ConleyMax machines are automated and can be set to run at a certain temperature all night, if desired. Rental rates for the machines start at $1,450 per week. Monthly rates are negotiable. They have to be returned by Nov. 1, so they can go back into service in the oilfield. It takes about 10 to 12 hours to dry a bin full of grain at a cost of about 70 to 80 cents per bushel. The company rents the machines from its main offices in Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as a variety of satellite locations across the Prairies. The machines vary from 350,000 BTUs to 1.4 million BTUs, but the most common is the 700,000 BTU unit. sean.pratt@producer.com

FERTILIZER APPLICATION

10-ton fertilizer cart ideal for precision farming Salford’s self-steering fertilizer cart uses an open venturi air system BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

With four metering sections, Salford’s new PathFinder ST-10 selfsteering fertilizer cart is designed for precision application. The cart made its September debut at the Farm Progress Show in Iowa. The Valmar metering system is specifically aimed at growers who want high fertilizer volumes and precision application in the same package, said Salford rep Brad Baker in a telephone interview. Each of the four sections has four ports. “The entire PathFinder lineup is ISOBUS compatible with any controller on the market that meets the ISOBUS criteria. The main ones we see are the John Deere GS 3 2630 display, Case Pro 700, New Holland Intelliview, Trimble FMX and Ag Leader,” said Baker. There are three carts in the PathFinder lineup, the ST-10 being the largest with a 10-ton capacity. It has a 120 cubic foot tank and a 180 cubic foot tank. The smaller ST-6 and ST-8 have six and eight ton capacities respectively. “We’ve found that the pegged, standard rate roller is good up to 500 pounds per acre. And we have

an optional fluted stainless steel roller which is good for 600 lb. plus. We’ve seen consistent accuracy at 600 lb. per acre on a 12-row strip till bar on 36 inch spacing. “It’s not a pressurized system. It’s an open venturi air system. It will meter seeds, but it wouldn’t be as accurate as a pressurized cart. However, the PathFinder carts will cost about 25 percent less than a pressurized tank system.” Baker said the metering system is gentle on seeds, and that means it will also be gentle on fertilizer prills, so they aren’t pulverized or turned to mud in humid weather. The fan is mounted at the rear of the cart, blowing forward through the metering system into the primary air streams. This creates the vacuum which sucks the product down into the air stream. “With this fan, we’re applying up to 500 lb. per acre on machines up to 40 feet wide. As we get into larger widths and higher rates, we may be looking at a larger fan or perhaps two fans. The rollers are hydraulically driven on all three carts. “We designed it to be self-steering. It’s mainly going to be used with corn planters, so the fertilizer

cart follows the planter better. We go to so much effort singulating and placing the seed. We don’t want the cart to come along after and disturb the soil.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

Low dollar prompts silage manure trailer Equipment maker designs easy-to-swap silage hauling and manure spreading trailer BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LANGHAM, Sask. — Canadian retailers importing equipment from the United States have been challenged by unfavorable exchange rates over the past few years. This prompted Park Lake Welding and Manufacturing, from Lethbridge, Alta., to manufacture its own silage-manure combination trailer. “We basically built this trailer because the U.S. currency exchange was too high… and because the customers were not satisfied with what they were getting,” said Edward Van Schothorst of Park Lake. T h e Ju m b o C 5 - 3 1 2 0 s i l a g e manure combination trailer comes with tandem or triple axles. To switch from silage to manure mode, operators will pull the fourfoot side panels off the trailer, and take the end gate off. “This can be either done with a single person and you pull each panel off individually, or you can pull the whole thing off as one side, or you can pull the whole assembly off,” Van Schothorst said. “Then you can turn around and take this beater and put it on the back. It takes one guy about 15 minutes to put the beater on.” On the digital control panel located in the cab, the trailer hydraulics

are switched between manure and silage mode. In silage mode, the hydraulic flow is taken from the beaters and used to run the floor of the trailer. “With the silage cycle on this trailer, you can empty this box in about a minute and a half. The chain will run from front to back in about 45 seconds, but the front of the load will collapse down,” Van Schothorst said. Hauling capacity The trailer can haul about 2,400 cu. feet of silage. In manure mode with the top racks off, there is a 1,200 cubic foot capacity. The Jumbo C5-3120 has a hydraulic capacity of 90 gallons per minute, and the wet kit is compatible end dump seed tender trailers, Van Schothorst said. Both automatic floor chain tensioners and auto slack adjusters are standard, and operators can easily tell what the floor tension is at all times, he said. The trailer comes with a removable fifth wheel plate, which can be changed out when it wears out. “It’s not worth putting in a fifth wheel plate that gets welded in solid. Down the road, it gets to the point that a fifth wheel plate will get an eighth of an inch of wear or more and (it needs to be replaced). So rather than have an expensive repair later down the road, it’s

The hydraulic lines underneath the trailer are housed in a centre runner, which also acts as a torque tube. “All of the cross members are tubular, so if there is a bent floor chain slat it will just bounce back underneath,” he said. The trailer walls are smooth and easy to wash, and have a clear-coat finish. The trailer is set up to be National Safety Mark certified. “With the National Safety Mark, it allows us to sell anywhere in Canada. It also means the trailer is set up to be DOT (Department of Transport) approved,” Van Schothorst said. Flotation tires are optional, and customers can choose the overall length of the trailer when they order. robin.booker@producer.com

near Langham. “So now you can take away a loader on the farm,” said company spokesperson Jacob Welde. “You can take out your self loader, with your milling arm above here, drive around and load all the commodities you’re going to feed out your cattle with, whether it’s silage, grain, corn or meal, anything like that, even things like your mineral or you supplements.” The knives on the milling head on the SPSL30T allow it to take not only a slice of silage and leave the rest of the bunk undisturbed but also chew through round bales. Distillers grain and high moisture corn can also be loaded with the milling arm. “It will chew up anything you put in front of it, but it’s general enough that it can actually pick up the refusals in the dairy barn at the end of the day and weigh it back to you,” Welde said. The rotational speed of the 150 horsepower hydraulically powered milling head is easily adjustable. An in-cab scale takes readings from the mixer to help operators achieve proper mixtures as they travel around their yards loading various feedstock and supplements. The company’s conventional two auger processing chamber, similar to what it uses on its pull type mixers, readies the feed once it is loaded into the mixer. The mixing tub is made of 200series steel, and the mixing augers have two-stage planetary mechanical drives that are adjustable from zero to 45 r.p.m. to help operators avoid over-processing the feed. “It’s dependent on how far apart your commodities are spaced, but you’re looking at having an extremely fast loading time,” Welde said. “You could be completely ready to unload in about 15 minutes.” Operators then move to the feeding bunks and distribute the feed with the conveyer out the bottom doors of the machine. The SPSL30T has four-wheel drive and four-wheel steer and is capable of crab steering. The rear steering can be locked out so only the front wheels steer on roadmode with a maximum road speed of 40 km-h. “It will unload very fast,” said Welde. “It all depends on what you’re feeding into it, but the mixing is much faster and much more efficient than your conventional vertical mixer.” A 240 h.p. Tier 4 Iveco engine powers the self-propelled, selfloading mixer. Welde said the typical dairy load weighs around 24,000 pounds, and the machine comes with 38-54 tires, which likely would limit its use in soft terrain. He said this style of self-loading mixer is common in Europe. “The advantages of a self-loading mixer over a standard mixer would be processing time, so your … fuel consumption will go down drastically compared to a tractor and truck set up,” he said. robin.booker@producer.com

MIDWEST CROP TOUR

Iowa sees good corn, soybean pod count low The USDA predicts a record corn harvest STANTON, Iowa (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D;The corn crop in southwestern Iowa s h ow e d a b ov e av e ra g e y i e l d potential but lagged behind the U.S. governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record projection for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top corn producing state, scouts on an annual tour found recently. Soybean crop potential in the area was below average, although recent rains may help boost prospects ahead of the autumn harvest, they said during the Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour. On a route that made stops in Mills, Montgomery and Fremont counties, average corn yields were estimated at 181 bushels per acre, based on surveys of five fields. That compares with 166.3 bu. in the same area during the 2015 tour and the three-year average of 169.1 bu. per acre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the corn is going to be an above average crop,â&#x20AC;? said Roger Cerven, an Iowa farmer on the tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Planting early went really well.â&#x20AC;? Soybeans were exceptionally tall in the area, which Cerven said limited pod development. Some instances of sudden death syndrome, a yield-sapping disease that thrives in cool and wet conditions, were noted in Montgomery County soybean fields. Scouts estimate soybean yields by calculating the number of pods

per square yard to gauge yield potential. Soybean pod counts per threeby-three-foot plot averaged 1,004.4 along the route. Soybean pod counts averaged 1,296.5 in 2015 and the tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average for the area is 1,188. On another route north through Harrison, Crawford and Pottawatomie counties, corn yields averaged 161 bu. per acre and soybean pod counts came in at 1,570 per threeby-three foot square. The U.S. Agriculture Department has projected that Iowa corn yields will average 197.0 bushels per acre, part of an expected record U.S. harvest. So far on the western leg of the tour, South Dakotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corn yield was projected above USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest forecast and Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was below the government outlook. Scouts on the Pro Farmer tour collect samples in corn and soybeans for four days, with the eastern leg starting in Columbus, Ohio, and the western leg starting in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The two groups converge in Rochester, Minnesota to compile data. Pro Farmer will release its estimates of U.S. crop production, using data collected from the tour and other sources later this month.

WATERMELON

The secret to big melons; plastic Plastic mulch and a clear plastic cover give melons the heat they crave BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

R AY M O N D , A l t a . — W h a t delights the hearts of boys more than a cold slice of watermelon on a hot summer day? About 20 boys converged on Ron McMullin’s melon patch near this southern Alberta town Sept. 6 to pick and eat some of the fruit they helped plant earlier in the year as part of a Scouts activity. McMullin, a Scout leader, knows about boys and their taste for the juicy, sweet fruit. His own love of watermelon led him to devise ways to grow them in a climate that doesn’t have the longer season required for optimal melon growth. “I grew them as a kid. I always wanted to grow them because I loved to eat them. The biggest I ever got when I was young was six or eight inches long.” McMullin wasn’t willing to leave it at that. “I was able to work for my brother, who is an inventor, and he let me do what I wanted so I thought, ‘well, why don’t I develop a way to grow watermelons in this area?’ ” Raymond, Alta., where McMullin grew up and where he now has his melon patch, is in the 4b climate zone. Though melons can be grown in zones three through 11, most of the imports in Canadian grocery stores come from the southern States and further south, where both daytime and nighttime temperatures are much higher and the growing season is longer. “The secret to growing watermelons here is having heat in May and June. Our summers are good, but May and June are too cold.” McMullin solved that problem by putting down black plastic with holes made for the plants and for water access. Over that, he drapes six mil clear plastic, held up by four-legged peony rings to keep it off the sprouting plants. He pins down the plastic with soil around the edges, to keep it in place amid the frequent southern Alberta westerly winds. He has found that the temperature under the plastic can be 20 degrees C higher than the outside temperature on a sunny day, and soil temperature is 10 degrees higher. Thus the problem of heat is solved. He plants the melons from seed sometime after May 10 and depending on summer weather, they are ripe by late August. He also uses a slow release nitrogen urea but said any general purpose fertilizer with 16 to 20 percent nitrogen, plus phosphorus, would do the job. A system of drip irrigation rounds out the growing project. This year McMullin planted 18 different watermelon varieties, along with 20 types of cantaloupe. Vista is the most productive and consistent watermelon variety he has found so far. “You often get 18- to 20-pound watermelons using that variety.”

McMullin has devised a method to grow watermelons as big as imported ones despite climate challenges of the region. New Yellow Baby, below, is a yellow watermelon variety with a fine texture and sweet flavour. | BARB GLEN PHOTOS

THE JUICY FACTS • Watermelon is thought to have originated in Africa. • It is considered to be both a fruit and a vegetable. • More than 1,200 varieties exist. • It is rich in lycopene, a carotenoid antioxidant and a source of vitamin C. • The rind and seeds are edible. • Seedless varieties were developed via hybridization • The world record size is 350.5 lb. Sources: whfoods.com, watermelon.org, mercola.com, Guinness

Ron McMullin, watermelon grower, Scout leader and executive director of the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association, shows off one of the watermelons he grew this year near Raymond, Alta. The Scouts, including Bryce Kawade, helped plant some of the melons so they were on hand Sept. 6 to enjoy eating the fruits of their labour.

His personal best is a 37-pounder that he grew in 2003. Other favourite varieties are Crimson Sweet and New Queen, the latter being a smaller orange

variety. New Yellow Baby is a yellow type with a fine texture and sweet taste. Jade Star is a dark green variety that ripens earlier than some others.

FOOD SAFETY

Course aims to bridge GMO communication gap University course designed to inform consumers about the technology, the politics involved and consumer distrust BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

For two decades, scientists have told the public, thousands of times, that genetically modified crops are safe. That message has never stuck because polls show that more than half of North Americans still think that GM foods are harmful. Ag economists and plant science experts at New York’s Cornell University have realized that new communication strategies are needed to connect with consumers who have doubts about GMOs. Consequently, this month Cornell will offer a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) exploring the scientific and political debate around GMOs. The Cornell Alliance for Science, which promotes innovation as a means to improve food security, is leading the MOOC on GM foods. The five-week course is free and available to anyone with an internet connection. “Our intention is not to influence how people feel about GMOs, but to offer information literacy tools to h e l p p e o p l e ma k e t h e i r ow n informed decisions,” Sarah Evanega, plant breeding and genetics professor at Cornell and director of the Alliance for Science, told the Cornell Sun. “We (the public) need to understand both the risks and the possible rewards of GMOs.” The online course will provide basic information on genetic engineering but will also delve into the political and social aspects of the technology. David Just, a professor of behavioural economics at Cornell, will be one of the course instructors. He will focus on issues beyond science, looking at the public ’s response to the technology and why so many people are hostile to GM foods. “We’re trying to make sure there’s a fair amount of (focus on) people opposed to GMOs,” he said. Just and the other instructors plan to discuss issues that science can’t address, such as religious views on GM crops and the words used to discuss the topic. “Here’s how the language is framing how we view (GMOs)… and how the technology gets perceived,” he said. One key word, when it comes to public perceptions of GM foods, is ‘benefit’. If someone thinks large corporations receive most of the benefits of GM technology, that person is more likely to think that GM foods are unsafe. Just knows the MOOC will be controversial but he wants to participate because the consumer behaviour around this issue is fascinating. Plus online courses can encourage a healthy dialogue, which is needed when it comes to GMOs, he said. “The sides (in this debate) have been talking past each other.” For more information on the Cornell online course, go to: www.edx. org/course/science-politics-gmocornellx-gmo0101x robert.arnason@producer.com

CANADIANS AREN’T SOLD ON GM FOODS • A 2012 Farmers Feed Cities survey found that only 41 percent of Canadians think genetically modified foods are safe for consumption • An Insights West poll in 2014 determined that 50 percent of people in Alberta and 56 percent in British Columbia would support a ban on genetically modified foods in Canada. • A 2013 Consumers’ Association of Canada poll found that 88 percent of Canadians think GM labelling should be mandatory.

Craft brewers spark new markets, new challenges for breeders The craft industry prefers barley varieties with lower enzymatic activity BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Barley breeders at the University of Saskatchewan are hoping to develop a long-term relationship with a new player in the North American brewing industry — the craft brewer.

But assessing the needs of craft brewers has presented challenges. “It’s a question that we’re still grappling with a little bit right now because … craft brewing is quite a diverse group of businesses and so their needs do vary quite a bit within that category,” Beattie said. He says breeders are still trying to determine what they are looking for. In a recent interview, Beattie said the North American craft brewing industry produces between 10 and

Beattie said the craft industry deserves much of the credit for stabilizing North American barley acreage, which had been declining until recently. “I think that we’ve probably seen that barley acreage has reached a new plateau of normal acreage …,” he said. “I think with some of the changes that we’ve seen in the malting industry, and with craft brewing in particular, it’s revitalized interest in malting barley. “It feels like there’s a bit of a breath of fresh air in the industry now … and with some of these smaller craft brewing companies, they’re establishing more one-on-one relationships with growers, which I think is something that a lot of growers appreciate being a part of.” However, nailing dow n the industry’s needs has not been easy from a plant breeder’s perspective.

AARON BEATTIE OAT AND BARLEY BREEDER

The CDC’s barley breeding program would like to develop new varieties targeted specifically at the craft brewing industry, but that could prove a difficult mark to hit. “The craft brewing industr y seems to (prefer) … a slightly different malting profile,” Beattie said. “Generally, the information that we’ve had coming back (suggests) that they’re looking for malt that has lower enzymatic activity than the varieties that are currently being used.” Until new barley varieties are developed that are aimed specifically at the craft market, craft brewers are likely to make do with a variety of existing or older varieties, including some that were put out to pasture by commercial barley growers years ago. Copeland, which is widely grown across the Prairies, is among the most well-known varieties used by craft brewers. Other varieties that have found their way into the craft brewing recipes include Harrington, Scarlett, Golden Promise and other varieties that were popularized 30 or 40 years ago. “Some of the craft brewers are just looking for something different,” Beattie said. “They really are covering the full spectrum when it comes to varietal choice.” brian.cross@producer.com

WHEAT COMES IN

EU TRADE

Canada-EU trade deal a target for anti-globalization forces BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — A major trade deal between Canada and the European Union has developed into the key battle front for European anti-globalization groups. Supporters of the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) say it would increase trade between the EU and Canada on a range of products, by nearly a quarter, boosting the EU economy by 12 billion euros. But anti-globalization groups emboldened by France’s call to suspend EU trade talks with the United States, have turned their attention to the deal already reached with Canada, which has not yet been approved. There is a growing public backlash in western Europe against free trade and globalization, which critics blame for factory closures,

depressed wages and a widening gap between rich and poor. “CETA is the little brother of TTIP (EU-U.S. Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) and needs to be buried alongside it,” said Fabio De Masi, a German member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the leftist Die Linke party. Canada is not impressed. “If the EU cannot do a deal with Canada, I think it is legitimate to say who the heck can it do a deal with?” Canadian Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland said in June. Other supporters say CETA is the most modern trade deal ever drawn up and that the Canadian government accepted EU demands for a new way of settling investor claims. “There are no deals that are comparable in their quality with

CETA,” said Artis Pabriks, a member of the European Parliament. “I would say it is a gold standard.” The deal would eliminate tariffs on almost 99 percent of goods. As well, EU companies would be able to tender for public contracts at Canadian provincial and municipal levels. The deal is expected to get the green light from EU member states next month. However, there are risks it will not. Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern said last week he would start a “conflict” over CETA, while toning down his opposition a day later. Observers say Kern and others are responding to public mistrust of the planned TTIP in particular what critics call a “race to the bottom” in environmental and food standards.

WHEAT SUPPLY

Indian wheat supplies tight: imports may boost prices Production is down and stocks are low, which may prompt the government to lower or abolish the import tariff SINGAPORE/NEW DELHI, (Reuters) — Wheat traders and industry representatives in India expect the country to significantly step up international purchases over the coming months, providing a potential boost to global prices languishing near 10-year lows. Production in the last two years has fallen well below the peak of 2014-15, reducing stocks to the lowest level in nearly a decade and pushing domestic prices close to record highs. Some traders expect them to climb still further this year. India has already bought about 600,000 tonnes of wheat in 2016, the most in nine years, but traders expect the government to reduce or abolish the 25 percent import tariff to make imports cheaper and ease a domestic supply squeeze. “The supply situation is getting

very serious,” said Veena Sharma, secretary of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India, the country’s main wheat industry body. “A review of the import policy may be a viable and rational option to bridge the gap between demand and supply in the domestic market. There is hardly any wheat available in the open market; production is much lower than the number the government is citing.” An increase in imports by the world’s second biggest wheat producing and consuming nation could help support global prices, which have fallen this week amid a projected rise in world stocks to a record 252.8 million tonnes. India rarely enters the global market beyond buying a few hundred thousand tonnes annually. The last time it bought more was in 2006, when surprise purchases

of close to seven million tonnes, combined with production problems elsewhere, helped fuel a near 50 percent rally in global prices.

A review of the import policy may be a viable and rational option to bridge the gap between demand and supply in the domestic market. VEENA SHARMA ROLLER FLOUR MILLERS FEDERATION

The food ministry declined official comment, but a senior government source said there was no cause for panic. “Although we’re keeping an eye on the situation, we don’t see any

shortage at the moment. At the same time, we’ll encourage the private trade and flour millers to import as much as they can,” said the source, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the press. “In terms of various options available to us, we can always abolish or lower the import tax. Please remember that there’s no need to worry, as the world has plenty of wheat.” Trade and industry experts said India was likely to import large volumes. “In my view, India will have to import at least four million tonnes of wheat. A broad estimate suggests our imports will hover around five or six million tonnes,” said Tejinder Narang, a veteran New-Delhi industry expert. In a sign of tightening availability, authorities last month reduced the

allocation of wheat each flour mill can buy from the government’s open market sales scheme to 500 tonnes from 5,000. It was subsequently raised to 2,000 tonnes, following a protest from millers. Domestic prices are strong and trading near record highs set in June. The spread between Indian and global benchmark U.S. prices has widened to an all-time peak. India’s farm ministry in August pegged 2015-16 wheat output at 93.50 million tonnes, up from 86.53 million tonnes a year ago, but most traders estimate production at about 84 million tonnes. India’s state wheat reserves, which on Aug. 1 stood at 26.9 million tonnes, are falling rapidly, and traders estimate a drawdown of 2.5-3 million tonnes a month up from the usual 1.5-2 million tonnes.

The recent discovery that corn is more genetically diverse than first thought is expected to open up all kinds of opportunities for the crop. This corn field was planted by ANR Belsheim, which is operated by Allan, Noel and Ryan Belsheim of Tulliby Lake, Alta. The farm has received ideal moisture this summer and the crop was looking good Aug. 9, when the photograph was taken. | CARMEN HOLLAND PHOTO GENE SEQUENCING

Discovering corn’s protein diversity thrills scientists Sequencing technology shows proteins can interact differently in the same plant, allowing more variety improvement opportunities BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

New genetic research on corn has found that the plant is much more diverse than scientists first believed, or even hoped, when they decoded its genome in 2009. The discovery promises to open up all kinds of opportunities. Corn is the No. 1 cereal crop grown in the world and accounts for two-thirds of world food production along with rice and wheat. In Canada, it is the third largest crop behind wheat and canola and is grown largely in Ontario and Quebec. The crop’s productivity has been enhanced by improved farming practices and advancements in biotechnology and breeding. It is used for human consumption, livestock feed and as an industrial commodity. A greater understanding of the plant’s potential at the molecular level is now helping scientists push the boundaries on corn’s many applications. “Our new research establishes the amazing diversity of maize (corn), even beyond what we already knew was there,” says Doreen Ware of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. Ware was part of a large multinational team that in 2009 assembled the first-ever sequence of corn’s 30,000 genes based on a

single variety called B73. Each corn plant is potentially different from the next, even within the same variety, because genes are expressed differently depending on conditions specific to the individual plant — both internally and in its immediate environment such as soil quality, moisture, available nutrients and light.

The technology is allowing us to address more crops in the species. It will accelerate improvement for the germplasm and longer-term sustainability for agriculture. BO WANG RESEARCHER

Each gene contains a set of instructions for making the molecules that the plant needs to survive. The organism doesn’t use the gene itself; rather, it uses a product of the gene known as RNA or protein. Gene expression is the process by which the gene’s information becomes that product. Since the gene never leaves the cell’s nucleus, the process starts by the gene making a copy of itself, called the messenger RNA. This RNA conveys the DNA codes to the sites for protein synthesis.

“The genome is like the underlying framework for the building blocks (protein) to come out,” said Ware. “In the first draft of the genome we studied in 2009, we had usually one protein coming out (expressed). This current research shows that there could be several different proteins or building blocks coming out, depending on which cell or the age of the plant. Think about Legos and the long and the short pieces, each fitting differently but all working together. We know there are many different pieces of protein that come together and interact. From this work, we now understand we have a much higher combination. For each location where you might have proteins coming out, where and when each comes out will impact who its ‘partners’ are and the functionality in the long term, making it more complex. Look at the opportunities that you could have.” The discovery of this extraordinary protein diversity in corn was made possible by a new generation of highly accurate “long-read” sequencing technology, which allows scientists to read many more molecules in their entirety at once. The technology was provided through a research partnership with CSHL and PacBio, a sequencing company. The technology identified previously unknown genes, although fewer in number.

However, it also showed that many more RNA messages were g e n e ra t e d w h e n g e n e s w e re expressed in proteins of different shapes and functions. The researchers read and analyzed 111,151 RNA transcripts from genes being expressed in six different corn tissues. Fifty-seven percent of those RNA messages had never been seen and therefore never sequenced. “These were the messages that told us that our efforts to annotate and characterize the 2009 maize reference genome have been far from complete,” said Bo Wang, a postdoctoral investigator in Ware’s lab and first author of the paper reporting the new research. New possibilities Alternative RNA splicing occurs in nearly all forms of multicellular life, including humans. The current research suggests how extensively alternative splicing, and therefore alternative developmental possibilities, are available to each corn plant. The technology is available for all crop plants, although Ware said the wheat’s genome is so large at 17 billion base pairs that it is difficult to obtain a robust referenced genome for each of the different varieties. “We may be able to look at the functional part of the genome, two wheat varieties, and how they perform more directly using this

approach,” Wang said. “It may turn out that the differences that may impact a yield outcome could be associated with expression differences at different time and space in the plant, and we could assay this more directly than we could before. The technology is allowing us to address more crops in the species. It will accelerate improvement for the germplasm and longer-term sustainability for agriculture.” Ware said some proteins may eventually become markers that suggest recommendations for management practices, disease or stress conditions such as reduced nitrogen or drought. However, the technology is not there yet. “We can find out more about how a plant can adapt to a changing future by monitoring these proteins,” she said. “With climate change in Canada, all of you are going to be in much better shape with regard to drought. Waterlogging at an early stage is devastating as well, but drought is going to be a major concern moving forward in the future years. This work allows us to unravel the different products the genome can make and gives us insight into how each of the different maize plants may function under different conditions. There’s still so much to find out.” The research was published in the journal Nature Communications.

PREDATION PREVENTION

Cell grazing provides spin-off benefits The grazing system was designed to reduce wolf predation but also improves pasture, cattle health BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

LUNDBRECK, Alta. — When a ranch is 65,000 acres in size, it can’t be managed at the cellular level. But managing part of it in grazing cells is another matter. On the Waldron Ranch, cell grazing was born out of necessity to limit wolf predation of the cattle herd. Ranch manager Mike Roberts said the system met that expectation but has also increased grassland health and cattle productivity. It began about six years ago, when wolves in this deep southwestern part of the province started killing about 15 head of young cattle each year and running the rest of the herd ragged in the process. Roberts decided to move the yearlings to an open grassland area into a system of grazing cells of about 90 acres each. “We soon found that we were actually getting 190 percent of the carrying capacity” than before, said Roberts. “We seem to be able to get one and a half, 1.55 pounds of gain a day on the cell grazing.”

Moving 840 yearling heifers to a new cell every four days, on average, resulted in the ranch getting one Animal Unit Month (AUM) on every .93 of an acre, over the 1,900 acres involved in the cell-grazing program.

MIKE ROBERTS RANCH MANAGER

“That’s pretty much double the rest of the ranch,” Roberts told a tour group Sept. 8. “We’re fortunate here that we have economy of scale and we have lots of cattle that we can jostle with. We didn’t add any AUMs to the ranch. We just moved AUMs.” Waldron Ranch grazes about

13,000 head of cattle every year, which belong to members of the Waldron Ranch Grazing Co-operative. Its 262 sq. kilometres include mountains, foothills and timberland, so only part of it is suitable for cell grazing. Where that occurs, Roberts has fenced the cells with single-strand, high-tensile wire mounted on posts made out of recycled sucker rod from Alberta’s oilfields. It’s a system developed by Jack and Gerald Vandervalk, who are members of the grazing co-op. The fibreglass posts won’t rot or burn, and once the single wire is electrified and the cattle get acquainted with it, the fence contains them. “The cost of putting in this fence, this single strand, is $700 a mile ($420 per km). To put in a threewire fence is four times that, and that’s not counting the labour,” said Roberts. “My biggest expense in my budget is wages and my biggest draw on wages is fence, 500 miles (800 km) of fence. A lot of it is getting pretty old and it’s really hard to

keep up with.” Roberts said electric fencing is a generally underused as a grazing management tool, but the latest fencers with solar power and remote control have been a boon to operations at the Waldron. “I just love them,” he said, noting he has 21 cells on 1,900 acres of pasture, which he runs with one electric fencer. “I’ve just got so I hate barbed wire. Too much time, too much repair. “Once the cattle are trained within the first two or three cells, we have no problem with them after that whatsoever. None. They don’t bother the barbed-wire fence, they don’t bother the electric fence.” Gates in the single-strand fence are formed using two pieces of drill stem, also recycled from the o i l p a t c h , w i t h t h e w i re r u n upward and over top the gate entrance. Roberts said this prevents grounding out or shorts on the fencer. “When I think the grass is where I want it to be, I show up with a quad and they know that’s the signal, ‘we’re going to new grass’, ” said

Roberts, and the move usually goes quickly. Water is managed through a system of springs and dugouts. A herd of 840 drinks about 9,000 gallons of water a day, so good water sources and reliable delivery are vital to the cell grazing system. Roberts said he is pleased with both cattle productivity and health. “One thing that I learned about this cell grazing and moving cattle all the time is the health is incredibly good on the cattle. I would have thought the opposite. “I would have thought the more congregated you have the cattle, the more health problems you would have, and it seems to be exactly the opposite because we leave the bacteria behind. “Every three or four days we’re on the move. (The cattle) never get in the water, they’ve got fresh salt and mineral. They’ve got fresh grass, and they just thrive on it. We have gone 70 days without treating an animal. That is our record — 840 head of heifers and 70 days without treating one.” barb.glen@producer.com

ANIMAL WELFARE

Bleeding cow images spark calls for change Video raises consumers’ concerns over the humane treatment of animals and safe transport “I just make a point, if I can have a few moments with the animals that are en route to slaughter, then I do,” said Jionet. “You know what’s happening but you don’t necessarily want to go and see it … but I think it’s important.” After she posted the video, Jionet said the truck driver emailed her, expressing concern about the future of his livelihood and suggesting she should have contacted him directly at the time. However, besides worry about approaching a man at a dark rest stop at night, Jionet said she was there for 90 minutes and did not see the driver of the truck during that time. “I do have empathy for people in the industry … but if you’re getting in trouble it’s because you’re doing something wrong. Also there’s not a lot of laws that are protecting animal welfare so wherever there is a point to investigate and penalize someone, then you have to take it, because it’s probably so often and it just goes unnoticed.”

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A commuter who saw and shot video of a bleeding dairy cow aboard a livestock trailer has put a spotlight on the welfare of livestock in transit. Amber Jionet was driving home from work along Highway 401 near Cambridge, Ont., Aug. 20 when she pulled into a rest stop at about 1:30 a.m. A livestock transport truck bearing a Manitoba licence plate pulled in at about the same time. “I just decided to go up to the truck and take a look at the cows and just kind of be with them for a few moments. I do that at some of the slaughter houses in the area,” said Jionet. “I saw two injured cows. One was just lying down. The other one was the one that was bleeding.” She also noted fresh and dried blood on the side of the trailer, and took photos and video of it, as well as shots through trailer portholes. She posted the video to YouTube and provided the material to the Animal Alliance of Canada. That group registered complaints with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Ontario’s agriculture department. The CFIA confirmed by email that it is investigating the incident. “The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has received the photos and video footage and has spoken to the complainant,” a department spokesperson confirmed Sept. 7. “The agency continues to look into this issue. The CFIA recognizes and shares the passion that Canadians have for animals and takes the issue of humane treatment of animals and safe transport very seriously.” Liz White of the Animal Alliance said a CFIA spokesperson told her that “from what they could see, there was obviously serious concern for this particular cow” and that an investigation was underway.

I do have empathy for people in the industry … but if you’re getting in trouble it’s because you’re doing something wrong. AMBER JIONET ANIMAL WELFARE GROUP

Images of blood dripping from a livestock transport truck have prompted an investigation by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. | AMBER JIONET PHOTO Jionet belongs to a group called Bearing Witness, which she said began in Toronto and has expanded. It involves people who photograph and document what they

see outside livestock slaughter plants and share the information so consumers “know who’s going to slaughter and what’s going to be on their plate.

White said that is also the point made by the Alliance. “It’s unclear how long these animals were on board the vehicle but I think it speaks to the fact that there has to be some process by which, when animals are transported, whether they’re going for auction or slaughter, that its done properly. And that was really our pitch to the CFIA.” Canada’s code of practice for livestock transport was last updated in 2001. The National Farm Animal Care Council has applied to the

JACKIE WEPRUK NATIONAL FARM ANIMAL CARE COUNCIL

federal government for funding to update the code and is awaiting a response. Jackie Wepruk, general manager of the NFACC, said Sept. 9 that there is a high degree of interest in the issue. “We know there’s increasing scrutiny of humane transport of livestock and poultry but at the same time, I think there s a collective desire to ensure that animals are being humanely transported, from amongst all sectors,” she said. The federal government is in the process of updating transport rules, Wepruk added, so those changes will be reflected in any code of practice update that occurs. “We know that updates to the humane transport section of the Health of Animals Act are forthcoming and have been under development for many, many years now. We’re anticipating that the updates are going to go to Gazette 1 in fall.” The CFIA said last week that it is “continuing discussions” on changes to the act but did not provide a timeline. White, of the Alliance, said the group encourages the general public to be more aware of livestock transport with the view of monitoring animal welfare. “I’ve encouraged people to, if they are travelling on various highways and they see a transport truck pull into a rest stop like that, to go and take a look and see what the animals are like and then, if there’s an issue, report it.” barb.glen@producer.com

Olds College will receive $1.75 million over three years for a new research facility aimed at livestock production. The money is coming from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and was announced Sept. 7. It will be used to further develop the Olds College Technology Access Centre for Livestock Production. Toby Williams, acting director of the college’s Centre for Innovation, said the funding boost will allow the centre to expand its scope of projects. “It’s essentially operating fund-

ing to build on some of the activities that Olds College has been involved in for several years,” she said. “The funding is mostly for people, so we can put our team together and that team will go out and really be able to reach out to pro-

ducers in a way that we haven’t been able to in the past.” Williams said the centre will continue and expand upon its work with feed efficiency and branch into such things as infrared thermography, needle-less injections, RFID tag technology and various animal welfare processes and procedures. The college is now in the process of developing an advisory board of six to nine people. Williams said some people have already expressed interest in being on that board and others are welcome to apply. As for student involvement, one instructor has been given the job of involving students in the centre’s applied research projects, events and workshops, Williams said.

Dr. Allan Schaefer, formerly a researcher at the Agriculture Canada Lacombe research centre, has been hired as manager of the Olds TAC. Two other positions, business development and research technician, have yet to be filled. In a news release, the college said the centre will give the livestock industry “access to new technologies that increase industr y sustainability and producer viability.” It will focus on cattle and sheep. Stephen Scott, executive director for the Canadian Hereford Association, said the industry welcomed the initiative. “Every year research is conducted on new products, or on new practices that can really make a difference to the profitability of the

beef industry. Unfortunately the commercialization of research outcomes into new on-farm practices is a rare occurrence. “The Technology Access Centre will be a place for producers to bridge the gap between the newest science and implementation of these practices on their own operations.” The centre will operate within the college’s centre of innovation, which is its applied research arm. Tanya McDonald, acting vicepresident of Advancement at Olds College, said the new centre “will allow us to work directly with producers in helping solve problems faced in every livestock operation.” barb.glen@producer.com

RELIGIOUS SLAUGHTER

Knowing halal, kosher rules could open markets BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

MANHATTAN, Kansas — Meat processors will need to understand kosher and halal slaughter and handling requirements if they are to make more sales into Jewish and Muslim markets. “From an industry point of view, it is not a religious proposition. You do this because you can make money, but if you do it, you have to follow all the rules,” said Joe Regenstein, retired professor from Cornell University in New York and head of the Cornell Kosher and Halal Food Initiative. Kosher for Jews and halal for Muslims are a set of religious laws that tell followers what they can and cannot eat. Both have extensive rules relating to animal welfare and proper

slaughter designed to respect and protect animals, Regenstein said at the international beef welfare conference held this summer in Manhattan. “The goal is to produce good food that is scientifically, culturally, religiously and emotionally satisfying.” T h e U n i t e d St at e s hu ma n e slaughter act includes a section on religious slaughter for the Jewish faith. However, the law is somewhat ambiguous, partly to protect freedom of religion, said Regenstein. Work has also been done in recent years to make the slaughter process as humane as possible. Animal welfare specialist Temple Grandin has designed a head chute for ritual slaughter so animals stand upright and the neck is visible. Regenstein and Grandin support a European law that bans shackling

and hoisting, but Latin American countries allow it because it speeds up the process. “It is totally unacceptable from an animal welfare perspective,” he said. “We need to improve animal welfare in religious and non religious slaughter, and I recognize there are plants that are not doing well. We need to look at the best plants for best practices,” Regenstein said. Slaughter procedure Only a religiously and practically trained Jewish man called a schocet can slaughter kosher, while any adult Muslim can slaughter. A sharp knife is sliced horizontally across the neck and the animal bleeds to death in less than a minute. The slaughter can be more than a single stroke of a knife but it

has to be continuous. The razor sharp knife must not have any nicks in the blade. Lack of eye reflex is believed to indicate brain death. However, if the animal struggled, something has been done wrong and intervention is needed. “In the Muslim community, there are folks who accept pre-slaughter intervention before the religious slaughter. That is some form of reversible stunning, mostly electrical,” he said. A rabbi for kosher, or imam for halal are presentto watch the process and say a blessing at slaughter. “That is to ask permission to take the life of a sentient animal, which is consistent with their strong animal welfare beliefs and recognition that animals at some level are sentient beings,” he said. Once the animal is killed under

halal regulations, it can be placed in the regular inspection system. Kosher requires inspections on internal organs, including the lungs internally and externally. It also requires deveining and removal of arteries and the sciatic nerve. “It is impractical so as a practical matter, in western countries we do not eat the hind quarter,” said Regenstein. Under kosher rules, the faithful are permitted to eat ruminants with split hoofs that chew cud. This does not include camels because they have padding on their feet and that is not considered a true split hoof. Muslims can eat camel. Kosher fish allows those with fins and removable scales while Muslims permit anything that swims in the water. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

GRAZING LUSH PASTURE

Fog fever: a respiratory syndrome that is often deadly ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

everal veterinarians have diagnosed outbreaks of pneumonia in adult cows that were recently moved to a new pasture. Pneumonia in adult cows is uncommon and these specific cases were attributed to a condition known as fog fever. The unique name is somewhat confusing. Fog fever is a common name for Acute Bovine Pulmonary Emphysema (ABPE). It was first described as a disease of grazing cattle more than 200 years ago in Europe and was associated with grazing fog lands, which are pastures that have lush new growth after being cut for haylage or silage. There is no link between fog and the occurrence of this pneumonia. In North America, the syndrome is seen primarily in beef cows older than two and most commonly associated with movement in fall from dry summer grazing to lush green pastures. It often occurs in an outbreak where 10 to 50 percent of the herd is affected. The outbreak usually begins five to 10 days after moving cattle abruptly from dry and overgrazed pasture to lush pasture. Lush is a difficult term to define and we don’t fully understand all the risk factors associated with outbreaks. The syndrome has been seen in cattle being moved from mountain grazing down to valleys late in the fall or in cows returning home to graze after being at a community pasture. In some cases, we may see regrowth on a pasture late in fall and outbreaks occur without even moving cows from one pasture to another. The pneumonia that develops is unique and different from more familiar forms.

Most pneumonic conditions are caused by bacteria or viruses and are more common in young and growing cattle. This respiratory syndrome is caused by a protein in the lush pasture called tryptophan and it typically only affects adult cows. When cattle are exposed to a pasture with higher levels of tryptophan and their rumen bacteria are not adapted to this protein gradually, it is converted and produces a toxin known as 3-methyl-indole. This circulates in the cow’s bloodstream and once the toxin reaches the lung, it causes severe cellular damage. The result is an untreatable respiratory syndrome. Clinical signs consist of a sudden onset of severe respiratory distress. Affected cows will have laboured breathing and often breathe with an open mouth and extended neck. They will grunt forcibly and have froth around their mouths. These cattle often appear anxious and have obvious difficulty breathing, but they are not depressed in the way that cattle with bacterial pneumonias are. Affected animals are reluctant to walk, don’t graze and in some cases may go down and not be able to get up. The severe respiratory distress can cause pockets of air to accumulate under the skin. Affected animals often die within two to three days of the onset of symptoms and the mortality rate ranges from 30 to 100 percent. On autopsy, the lungs are large, heavy, swollen and full of fluid and often have a marbled appearance and rubbery texture. Fog fever is especially frustrating because once diagnosed, little can be done to prevent or treat further cases. Antibiotics are of no benefit and their use will eliminate the option of emergency slaughter. Affected cattle should be moved with extreme caution. Moving them off pasture often causes so much stress that they die. Moving cattle after being on the pasture for four days or more is of little value and unlikely to prevent further cases.

Veterinarians often prescribe an anti-inflammatory to limit swelling in the lung of affected animals, but the prognosis is poor. Fog fever or ABPE is relatively rare but there are certain years where environmental conditions

are more conducive to outbreaks. Try to make the transition from dry overgrazed pasture to lush pasture gradually. Some form of feed supplement may help with that transition, and the feed additive monensin has been shown to

reduce production of the toxin responsible for lung damage. John Campbell is head of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

The program, spearheaded by the National Cattle Feeders Association, sets standards for feedlots in animal welfare, health, nutrition, transportation and other procedures. It is the first certified audit designed for feedlots. “It is an industry developed program with technical experts to make sure it is a highly credible program,” said project director Joyce Van Donkersgoed. Many meat packers and retailers have recently increased animalcare expectations and a program such as this should help meet those new requirements. Cargill Meats, for example, has requested that feedlots become certified by 2018 in the United States and 2019 in Canada, company spokesperson Connie Tamoto said in an e-mail response. Third party certification was seen as critical by many to help ensure animal welfare, livestock handling, health, nutrition, environmental care and transportation are properly done. Van Donkersgoed, a southern Alberta feedlot veterinarian and manager for policy and research with the National Cattle Feeders Association, is working with other experts to test the program and train feedlot personnel. Industry input The beef processing companies, Cargill, JBS, and Tyson, along with major food companies, veterinarians, animal scientists and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), helped develop the program. A news release from the National Cattle Feeders Association said it hopes this animal care assessment program can be aligned with the United States for a North American feedlot animal care audit/ assessment program, similar to the North American Meat Institute audit for processing plants that is widely adopted in U.S. and Cana-

dian establishments. Next, Canadian feedlot operators will be trained on the animal care assessment tool’s criteria. Earlier this year, 22 Canadian feeding operations of different sizes tested the draft program, Van Donkersgoed said.

JOYCE VAN DONKERSGOED PROGRAM DIRECTOR

“When we did the pilot test we had over 80 percent of producers meeting requirements of the program. By and large producers are doing these things on the program but probably the weakest thing is documentation, especially in the smaller yards.” Each audit under the program requires written procedures and records. A template for written records has been created that could be helpful for smaller operations. In addition, two meetings with major restaurants and grocery stores were held in Calgary and Toronto. Feedlot veterinarians can help clients with training and audits to prepare them for a processor audit. Producers conduct a self-assessment at least once a year to show where improvements are needed with facilities, practices or staff training. A full third-party audit occurs every three years. If cattle arrive at packing plants with problems, such as down animals or lameness, a targeted audit may be triggered to see what went wrong. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

FASHION ON THE GROUND

The Australians are coming: the next big thing in farm footwear AGRICULTURE

ED WHITE

re Blundstones quietly treading into western Canadian farming? That’s what I wondered this summer after attending a couple of field days and found a number of farmers and agronomists were wearing the fashionable, expensive and tough Australian boots. “I was a hiker-shoe kind of person, but I was tired of getting soil in my socks and laces,” said Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers’ agronomist Kristin Podolsky. “I have work boots but they have laces. I have western boots but they are too high.” That’s part of why I got some as well, a year or two ago. I have three young kids and I’m sick to death of tying my shoes 10 times a day as we go places. Plus, they’re tough and you can abuse them. Also, I like big, clunky Britishstyle footwear, but can’t bring myself to buy a pair of Doc Martens, because that would be like bringing back my outfit of the 1980s. The boots are common in cities across Canada, generally worn by

hip urbanites, but they are still rare out in farm country. That’s odd, because they were originally designed to be farm and work boots for Australian settlers. At the field days I attended, most of the Blundstones I saw were worn by professional agronomists and farm advisers, who provided a touch of Ag Chic, rather than on farmers. Farmers were wearing that mix of rugged work boots, hiking boots, dirty sneakers and cowboy boots that has been common at such events for years. But are prairie farmers wearing Blundstones? I took to Facebook and Twitter to see if I could scare up any one. Sure enough, a healthy smattering of Blundstone-wearers popped up almost immediately, usually proclaiming feelings of love and loyalty. “I have 3 pairs. Best work boots ever. 2 years going strong,” tweeted Randolph, Man., farmer Kevin Peters. Hodgeville, Sask., farmer and custom harvester Lee Peterson tweeted: “They make the best boots I have ever worn.” On Facebook, Lisa Kellar Young said: “They are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned and LOVE them. Wear them on the farm or give them a good polish and dress them up!” A friend and horseperson in southern Alberta noted a unique Canadian risk from Blundstones: some of the soles get rigid and slip

in frigid prairie conditions, so watch out in days of deep cold. A number of farmers noted wearing or having the boots for both work duties and fancier times, which is something I heard as well from my Australian neighbour Liz. Farmers Down Under often have a rough pair for work and a fancy pair to take to town. There also appears to be a class system of Blundstone-style boots in Australia. There are cheaper styles than “Blunnies,” made by competitors and ones more expensive. A number of people noted that R. M. Williams boots are what a person buys if they want to display their appreciation for the highest craftsmanship, or to prove that they can afford to spend more on boots than you can imagine. I found farmers from across the Prairies who picked up Blundstones in Australia, often on agricultural exchanges, and others who have found them in farm and industrial supply stores here. I live in Winnipeg. They’re not hard to find here. Just a mile from my house is one of the city’s biggest

malls and Blundstones are the big display item in front of one shoe store, probably aimed at the backto-school crowd. Will they remain an urban Canadian phenomenon, worn mainly by soft city folks who don’t challenge their toughness, or will they creep out further into farm country, to challenge the regular work boots, sneakers and cowboy boots that now rule the realm of farm footwear? I don’t know, but I’ll be walking around farm shows from now on

Hanmer Farms, east of Nokomis, Sask., has operated a crop input store in Govan, Sask., for more than a decade. The family plans to open additional independent input stores in Saskatchewan and Alberta, with the first scheduled to open this fall in Lewvan, Sask. | FILE PHOTO CROP INPUTS

Independent dealer eyes Prairies The Hanmer family plans to operate its Govan, Sask, input store and find partners for three others BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new chain of independent crop input stores is cropping up at a time when many are getting gobbled up by multinationals. SynergyAG will be opening stores in Govan, Sask., Lewvan, Sask., Lumsden, Sask., and Provost, Alta., in the fall and winter of 2016 and 2017. The company was founded by the Hanmer family, which has operated a seed company in Govan since the late 1950s. Company president Brad Hanmer said over the years the seed operation branched out into selling hybrid canola, fertilizer, pesticides, fungicides and biologicals. It got to the point where the company had a full lineup of crop input products and felt it was time to have a bigger footprint in that business. The crop input business is becoming increasingly consolidated in the hands of large multinational companies. Agrium announced on Sept. 6 it

has received regulatory approval to acquire 16 retail outlets in Western Canada from Andrukow Group Solutions. That is in addition to the recent purchases of Wigmore Farms, Northstar Fertilizers and Wendland Ag Service. “Our industry is in flux daily,” said Hanmer. “In order to be competitive at all, unfortunately there is some economies of scale that you need in order to acquire and attract who I feel is the best of the best for partners and employees.” Hanmer said farmers are clamouring for more independent retailers. Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, is pleased to see more competition, especially in the form of an independent. “They are generally started by farmers themselves, so they understand the needs and wants,” he said. Hall said independents are typically more flexible and willing to work out the best deal for farmers

while multinational outlets tend to have strict, bottom-line oriented policies. “I liken it to bank versus credit union, local management versus Calgary or Toronto management,” he said.

It is very evident there is a void and a need for an additional voice for independent crop retail. BRAD HANMER SYNERGYAG PRESIDENT

Hanmer said they picked locations where there was an obvious need. Govan was a no-brainer. “That’s ground zero for our existing customer base,” he said. The Hanmers will be the sole owners of the Govan store but they will have partners in the other three communities. “We’ve been in negotiations with local entrepreneurs and farmers

within those marketplaces,” he said. “It is very evident there is a void and a need for an additional voice for independent crop retail.” The Lewvan outlet is scheduled to open this fall followed by Govan in the winter. Lumsden and Provost are scheduled for fall 2017. SynergyAG will source its product from a wholesaler that provides product to other existing independent stores. Hanmer said what will set SynergyAG outlets apart is they are owned and operated by people who farm in the area. “I watch the same clouds go by as my customers,” he said. “We get intimately how farms operate and what makes them tick.” Each store will be staffed with four to six employees including crop advisers, agronomic professionals and sales and support staff. Hanmer said he has a “playbook” of other possible locations for SynergyAG stores once the first four are up and running. sean.pratt@producer.com

Feds consider worker residency SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada might make it easier for temporary foreign workers to get permanent residency and eventual citizenship. The TFW program is of interest to farmers and agricultural processors who suffer labour shortages. Immigration Minister John McCallum said on CTV’s Question Period the government is “considering providing a pathway to permanent residence” to workers, but added he awaits a parliamentary report on the matter.

TAX ORGANIZATION

Address audit fears through pro-active accounting MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

udit — it’s a small word but one guaranteed to generate worry, if not outright fear, in the minds of taxpayers everywhere. This is Canada Revenue Agency’s prime period for verifying your 2015 filing and comparing it to those filed in earlier years. The comparison between filings is a key device used by the CRA to determine whether variations from previous years deserve further scrutiny. When filings were largely done manually, variations in claims could be substantial without generating attention. But CR A’s sophisticated computer systems now permit them to monitor massive amounts of data and information and identify relatively small differences between current year and past filings. If you do get a phone call from CRA or a verification letter in the mail that suggests your claim is ACQUISITION

Canadian mushroom grower expands SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Highline Produce Ltd. has bought All Seasons Mushrooms, one of the largest mushroom growers in Western Canada. All Seasons, founded in 1997 grows about 8.62 million kilograms of certified organic mushrooms a year from three facilities in British Columbia and one in Alberta. Highline, founded in 1961, is a fully integrated mushroom business with five facilities in Ontario and Quebec. It is the largest operator in the mushroom industry in Canada, marketing about 26.3 million kg of mushrooms per year. It is the world’s largest grower of organic mushrooms, producing white, mini bella and portabella mushrooms without the use of pesticides or fungicides. All of Highline and All Seasons’ combined nine locations will remain in operation with business as usual for the two companies’ combined staff of 1,400 employees across Canada.

being reviewed, there are a number of things you should consider. The success or failure of whether you survive an audit depends on several factors: • what you claimed on the return; • the explanation supporting the claim; • the documentation you have that supports the explanation. In recent years, CRA has been less open to accepting expense claims without all these three components being present and aligned. Therefore, it is important to organize, in advance, the written documentation that supports your explanation. A tax adviser can help determine which documentation you need to support your claim.

For example, merely stating that you purchased fuel for a farm vehicle rather than a personal use vehicle is not sufficient. The expense needs more detail. Jotting down the plate number for the vehicle on the back of the receipt is useful in establishing whether the vehicle is a business or personal use one, as is recording the details of that particular trip in your calendar. The audit could be taking place two to three years after the expense was incurred so your dated diary descriptions of your travel become particularly important. CRA rarely randomly selects a file. There usually is an underlying reason. For example, if a dairy farm is

reviewed, the auditor will determine if the farm has been correctly reporting its patronage payments. It would stand to reason that if you know the audit triggers, then you could plan and document long before that visit by the CRA. About one in 280 taxpayers will be audited. Self-employed individuals who are in a position to understate income or overstate expenses run a much higher chance of being audited than a T4 earner. Generally, the farm community gets a great deal of attention from CRA related to farm losses and expectation of profit. Here are other tax audit triggers relating to GST, PST and income tax: • large losses in comparison to

prior year or consistently large losses; • u nu s u a l h i g h o r i n c re a s e d expenses; • large capital additions; • large purchases; • high input tax credit claims; • consistent non-compliance (not filing or consistent late filing); • amendments showing large changes; • tax arrears. It may be advisable to contact a knowledgeable tax professional who can deal with CRA on your behalf.
