Crops in Brazeau, Lac Ste. Anne devastated by ill-timed rain, snow

REGINA BUREAU

Farm organizations last week lined up in favour of federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau’s plan for legislation that will include reciprocal penalties between shippers and railways. But with only a few months to develop the planned spring legislation, stakeholders are waiting to see if new measures will be in place in time for the next crop year. The proposed new bill would also require resolutions to extend interswitching regulations, which allow smaller rail carriers to use a limited amount of a competing railway’s track, and deal with the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE). Garneau announced his Transportation 2030 strategy in Montreal Nov. 3. The legislation will include a better definition of adequate service and improve access and timelines for Canada Transportation Act decisions, he said. SEE TRANSPORTATION REFORM, P. 4

Farmers in Brazeau and Lac Ste. Anne counties in central Alberta have ridden the weather rollercoaster this year, but the most recent plunge prompted municipal officials to declare states of agricultural disaster. About 30 percent of crops in the two counties have been harvested and hope is fading that they will come off the fields before winter arrives in earnest. Brazeau County Reeve Bart Guyon said the crop disaster comes on the heels of other challenges. “Most farmers have a second job and our second job in our part of the world is the oil patch, so it died in the last couple years. So that was kind of a financial wreck that hit everybody on the head. “The season started out with a

drought, so we were a little depressed about that. Then it started to rain so that was good, and then it started to snow, so we were depressed again. It kept raining and never stopped until it snowed.” How much moisture was there?

“I lost count at 50 inches,” said Guyon, whose 300 acres of crop have yet to be harvested. What looked like bumper yields in spring have now turned into an insulating layer that prevents sunshine from drying out the ground so farm equipment can do its job. Guyon said the county sent letters about its disaster declaration to the provincial and federal governments. The province responded with information on crop insurance and other risk management programs. “I said, ‘well you know, that’s kind of hindsight planning. Do you think we’d have the same government if we did hindsight planning?’ “I tried to be as nice as I could, but it’s easy to think after the fact. If we could see into the future, we’d all buy insurance.” SEE AGRICULTURAL DISASTERS, P. 5

Ottawa reviewing request BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Norm Hall is unaccustomed to getting such a quick response to planting a seed. A few weeks ago the president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan met with federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay regarding grain transportation concerns. As the minister was rushing out the door to catch a plane, Hall took the opportunity to raise another issue. He told MacAulay that his members would like to see an increase in cash advance limits to $500,000 from $400,000 and a hike in the interest-free portion to $150,000 from $100,000. Hall thought he was planting a seed for what would be a long lobbying effort, but the request has already generated traction in Ottawa. MacAualy spokesperson Patrick Girard said in an email response to questions that the minister is open to the idea. “The minister has asked departmental officials to review the current limits and assess the need for an increase,” Girard said. “We are working with Advance Payments Program administrators and the crop insurance agencies to understand that need.” Hall was flabbergasted to hear MacAulay had already got the ball rolling on the request. “Wow,” he said. “The industry has been asking for this for a few years.” Hall said former Conservative Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz repeatedly mentioned he would look into it. “We never heard boo about it after that.” MacAulay hasn’t committed to changing the limit, but Hall is impressed that he has instructed his officials to investigate if there is a need and to consult with program administrators. “They did take the next step. It’s not just rhetoric,” he said. Hall is convinced they will discover there is a need to increase the limits when talking to program administrators and crop insurance officials. The current limits were set 10 years ago when farms were much smaller and input costs were much lower. Dan Mazier, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, is pleased the federal government is exploring the need for a higher limit, but he wants them to take it one step further. “We’re going to need it extended, too,” he said. Cash advances on field crops have to be repaid on Sept. 30. KAP would like the date extended by six months because farmers who have crop remaining in the field come spring are that far behind other growers in terms of getting the crop in condition for sale. “They’ve lost the whole winter marketing window of trying to get rid of this grain,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

National environmental farm plan urged Summit chair says national plan will help demonstrate sustainability and ensure market access BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Farmers and industry stakeholders meeting in Ottawa last week say it’s time for a national environmental farm plan. Just how broad that plan should be, however, is up for discussion. Twenty years after the first EFPs were implemented in Ontario, followed by the rest of the provinces by 2005, delegates to the first national EFP summit said the plans are valuable and have been widely accepted. They cover entire operations, provide resources for continuous improvement and the adoption of beneficial management practices and were developed with producers for producers, said summit chair Erin Gowriluk, policy manager at the Alberta Wheat Commission. “We can begin to position a national plan that demonstrates alignment with sustainable sourcing requirements here in Canada and around the world,” she said. “We’ve provided farmers and ranchers with a credible tool that will ensure market access now and into the future.” Work will now begin on just how to make the regionally delivered programs more national in scope. However, there is also the question of how EFPs fit into broader sustainability schemes. Several speakers said too many schemes are promoted by companies, organizations and industries.

Eric Ritchie, a sustainability manager at McCain Foods, said the company started its potato sustainability initiative because it wanted a single plan. “Our grower base, ourselves included, were under audit fatigue,” he said. “We’ve asked some farmers to have three audits in a year, or four.” He said the cost and time involved were too great.

THERESA BERGSMA MANITOBA CORN GROWERS ASSOCIATION

Theresa Bergsma, executive director of the Manitoba Corn Growers Association, said she has spent time on Canadian on-farm food safety and traceability initiatives and has heard all this before. “We worked hard on this and it sits on the shelf,” she said. “Both of those things are rarely used.” Bergsma questioned whether bulk exporters such as the grain and oilseeds industry need to develop a sustainability scheme or whether it could be “one page in an EFP booklet for those who

really need it.” Ritchie said that would likely depend on the export market. “I do think that a national EFP is a different piece of that discussion,” he said. “That consistent national base line is a must, whether you’re exporting or not.” Grain Growers of Canada president Gary Stanford said he was struggling with the idea of a national plan as a grain farmer. “Was there a carrot you dangled?” he said. “How did you motivate to get farmers on side in the first place?” In an interview, Stanford said he understands grain farmers need to get in front of the issue before the market and consumers do it for them. Many have done EFPs, but the broader issue isn’t necessarily well understood. “It’s like we know this is going to come, and I’ve been trying to look through some sustainability groups at how this is eventually going to work through,” he said. “Is there some kind of a mechanism that the farmers could be on side with which wouldn’t be too onerous on them? Maybe there’s some way we can work with the government on this so if there’s upgrades on this to be done we can work with some of the Growing Forward programs.” Stanford said it’s important the farmer voice be heard so consumers understand that farmers are working on this and the result is

farmer-friendly. Summit co-host Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said farmer acceptance is key, but consumer pressure is real. “I think that has led people to realize if we can brand Canada on a national basis of doing things that are sustainable in agriculture, then its going to position us well not only in domestic markets but international markets,” he said. He said the current EFPs deal with soil, water and pesticide storage but could be broadened to include sustainability issues such as agricultural labour. The plans are generally designed in modules, and not every module would apply to every farm, he said. “It’s about designing something that works well, that’s simplified, but addresses key concerns,” Bonnett said. A survey done at the end of the one-day summit indicated widespread support for developing a base line national standard that provinces would have to meet. However, respondents were split on the importance of on-farm verification within that national standard. Fifty-six percent said it was important, 16 percent said it wasn’t and 28 percent were unsure. A steering committee will now move forward to devise a work plan and meet with provinces and stakeholders. karen.briere@producer.com

TRANSPORTATION REFORM » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We will continue to work with stakeholders to ensure there’s a proper balance in place — one that supports rail customers and delivers continued investments in the system,” Garneau said. Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said maintaining extended interswitching at 160 kilometres and retention of the MRE are critical to grain farmers. Extended interswitching was one of the temporary measures introduced after the grain backlog of 2013-14. “What they’ve announced today, albeit the devil can be in the details of the legislation, appears to be what the industry has asked for to prevent those kinds of problems from happening again,” Stewart said. Stakeholders issued a flurry of statements immediately following the announcement. Grain Growers of Canada vicepresident Jeff Nielsen said that throughout consultations stakeholders stressed the need for a level playing field between shippers and railways. “I urge the minister to ensure that the required legislation is passed and in place for the 2017-2018 crop year,” he said. Rick White, chief executive officer of the Canadian Canola Growers Association, said reciprocal penalties would help modernize grain transportation. He said shippers have long been held to performance standards but railways have not. “Incorporating reciprocal penalties into service level agreements has the potential to elevate the accountability in the supply chain to include the railways,” he said. Canadian National Railway chief executive officer Luc Jobin said the railway is confident that the minister recognizes what the railways need, too. “We need a supportive, predictable regulatory environment that encourages innovation and efficiency and takes an end-to-end view of the entire … supply chain,” he said in a written statement. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture said the uncertainty surrounding the MRE is a concern. The organization commended the government’s focus on service obligations but said updated MRE regulations are essential. “Transportation costs represent a significant portion of western grain farmers’ expenses,” said president Ron Bonnett. “That’s why farm groups have been advocating for a full costing review, which would lead to an accurate and up-to-date MRE,” he said. “We are still waiting for the government to fulfill their promise to launch the costing review, as they had stated they would prior to the 2015 election.” The bill will likely be introduced in March or April. Garneau’s announcement also included a $10.1 billion investment in transportation infrastructure to improve trade corridors and promised to focus on information sharing “to support evidence-based decision making by government and all stakeholders.” “We look forward to operating in an environment where evidence fuels the decision-making process,” said Pulse Canada president Lee Moats. karen.briere@producer.com

TB quarantine may be shorter than expected Increased CFIA testing could be good news for Alberta producers struggling with a quarantine imposed because of bovine tuberculosis BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is doubling and potentially tripling the rate of testing on cattle herds under quarantine in the Jenner, Alta., area in coming days. Rich Smith, executive director of Alberta Beef Producers, said CFIA officials confirmed Nov. 4 that they planned to dramatically increase the speed of testing, which could allow about 30 ranchers to get herds out of quarantine sooner. The quarantine was imposed after one cow owned by Jenner area rancher Brad Osadczuk tested positive for bovine tuberculosis after being shipped to the United States. His herd of more than 300 cattle has been destroyed as part of CFIA’s protocol to eliminate TB from Canada. The single infected cow was once resident in a community pasture in southeastern Alberta, so ranchers with cattle in that pasture and another one nearby were also placed in quarantine. Those cows, about 10,000 of them, will be tested, and any that

react will be slaughtered and tested further. Calves cannot be tested because results are not considered reliable until animals are one year old. Early stage testing was at a pace of about 200 per week. Ranchers in quarantine considered that unacceptable because they are unable to move or sell animals until quarantine is lifted. That is causing financial stress on some, and ABP has asked the provincial government to assist them. Last week, it responded with information on financing options, including advance payments, feeder association loans and the ability to renegotiate any loans they have with Agriculture Financial Services Corp. “We weren’t sure whether the people with quarantine cattle would be able to get advance payments on those cattle, but the quarantine won’t affect their eligibility for those payments,” said Smith. Ranchers will have to get price insurance on the cattle because calves will now become feeder cattle while they are kept in quarantine. That insurance will quali-

fy them for advance payments, which are up to half the value of the cattle as a loan with $100,000 of it interest free. Smith said the CFIA has also committed to providing more information to producers with herds in quarantine. Many at recent meetings expressed frustration with CFIA refusal to provide answers to their questions. The TB case and resulting quarantines were much-discussed topics at the recent round of ABP zone meetings. In Fort Macleod, members passed a motion directing ABP to make the CFIA accountable for any additional costs of reportable diseases that occur from its delays in declaring and/or determining quarantine. In Brooks, members passed a motion that the CFIA should use all available resources to speed up the testing process when it imposes quarantine, including tests on other species. The Brooks meeting also saw a motion passed directing ABP to continue advocating for policies to keep Canadian herds free of

bovine TB. As well, bridge financing should be available for those affected when quarantine and herd liquidation occurs. The motion further encouraged a permanent policy to deal with such situations in the future. At Picture Butte, ABP members directed the organization and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association to develop a compensation program for producers with herds that are quarantined, which would cover the costs of animals destroyed as well as maintenance costs for animals during the quarantine period. They also asked ABP to lobby the provincial government and CFIA to test wildlife populations in the area where the recent case was found. This was a reference to the large wild elk herd that roams the region, using Canadian Forces Base Suffield as its own base. All motions made at ABP zone meetings will be forwarded to the organization’s annual meeting in December for further consideration. barb.glen@producer.com

Disease surveillance has been started on elk hunted from the Canadian Forces Base Suffield in southeastern Alberta. Wildlife officials from Alberta Environment will be working with hunters to check animals following the discovery of tuberculosis in a cattle herd at Jenner, while Canadian Food Inspection Agency employees will test cattle from 30 farms under quarantine that may have come in contact with the original herd. “We are following the lead of CFIA,” said senior wildlife biologist Joel Nicholson of Alberta Environment and Parks based in Medicine Hat. “Their focus is on the domestic animals, but we will be working with them into the future to determine what type of monitoring program we want to set with respect to the elk herd in the area.” Hunters who have licenses to enter the military base to hunt elk must attend a daily briefing, which includes information about chronic wasting disease and bovine tuberculosis. “If they have an animal that is exhibiting clinical signs, then they can contact us and one of our wildlife officers will go and look at the animal,” he said. Suspicious cases will be sent for more testing. “That becomes a passive surveillance program that we are able to do on short notice this year. We are able to examine the lymph nodes, and if there are abnormalities with anything that looks like TB, we will be sending those samples into the CFIA for testing,” Nicholson said. “We didn’t have any evidence

to suggest there was any concern for tuberculosis in any of our populations down here, so we haven’t had a surveillance program until finding out about this positive case this fall.” Hunting is ongoing in November for three-day periods on the base. More hunting will be allowed in December and two more seasons in January. “This is the third year of really aggressive hunting, and we have been successful in reducing the population in two consecutive years,” he said. Alberta Environment’s most recent elk survey counted 4,600 head inside and outside of Suffield. There were 800 calves born this spring, so the current population is estimated at around 5,400 head in total. About 220 elk originally came from Elk Island National Park and were disease free when they were released onto the base in the late 1990s to replace 1,200 feral horses. The population has grown exponentially, and area ranchers have protested the elks’ presence because of concerns about destruction of fences, raiding feed supplies and disease spreading between wildlife and livestock. Alberta Environment said the

risk of disease transmission is very low. Regardless of the outcome, wildlife should be continually tested for disease, said Bob Lowe, chair of Alberta Beef Producers. “If it does turn out to be something more than just one odd cow, then if they actually want to clean it up, they have to test the elk,” said Lowe. “They are going to have to start doing something about the elk. This is the last straw for those guys.” Area farmers were not consulted about releasing the elk 20 years ago, said Jerry Schimpf, who has land at Buffalo on the edge of the military base. Elk were not indigenous to the area, and they have thrived since they were relocated. Wildlife fences weren’t erected, so elk were able to roam freely. The elk herd has upset the balance of nature, and the unintended consequence is out of control wildlife, he said. “Now with such a herd of elk right across the fence from farmers who look after their land, not only because of love and necessity and economics, they stand by and have to watch the elk plow through their fences,” he said. Disease surveillance may have come too late. “They knew that elk are carriers of brucellosis and tuberculosis when left unchecked like that,” Schimpf said. “They were promised they would manage the elk, and that herd would never go over 800. They totally forgot what they promised farmers,” Schimpf said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Guyon said he welcomed additional support created by Lac Ste Anne’s declaration. “The more people that come on board, the better off we are for helping to lobby. I have land right on their boundary. They’re sitting in the same situation. Nobody likes to cry wolf but we’re running out of time.” Despite limited response from government, Guyon said he thinks assistance might be found for the region’s floundering farmers. Money was found to help those affected by Fort McMurray fires and southern Alberta floods in years past, he said, so maybe some can be found for farmers in Brazeau and Lac Ste.

The decision to dry should weigh the quality of the grain, the discount for excess moisture, the buyer’s interest and the danger of spoilage in the bin. |

WEIGHING THE COSTS

To dry or not to dry — the costly question A poor quality crop may not be worth spending money to dry, but high quality grain is more marketable if moisture is addressed BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The devil won’t be sweating about the grain drying details this winter, but thousands of farmers probably will. Farmers with millions of tonnes of wet crops in bins must now assess what’s worth drying and selling, what is better to immediately sell and what crops are safe to bin and ignore for a year or two. For market analyst Neil Townsend of FarmLink Marketing, understanding buyer psychology as it relates to a farmer’s crop is as essential as knowing the specific costs of drying. “Sometimes the discount (for delivering too-moist grain) doesn’t really make it worth your while to

dry it yourself,” said Townsend. But sometimes farmers will see much more buyer interest if the grain fits their specifications. The key is understanding if the buyer really wants to buy the crop and is willing to overlook nonessential issues, or if they don’t really want the crop and will buy only it if it is cheap. In this year’s crop of wildly varying quality, each farmer will have a unique set of circumstances to deal with, Townsend said. If a crop has multiple problems, such as high fusarium counts, mildew, sprouting and high moisture, it is unlikely to bring better buyer interest if it is dried, while other problems persist. But if it is a high quality crop in every other way, addressing the

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL

INNOVATION

moisture might be worth it. “If you get something dried, you can end up with something that is more desirable, more marketable,” said Townsend. That all depends on the cost and bother of drying, the shrinkage of the crop from drying, the size of the discount a wetter crop attracts and the increased selling ease. For a farmer with badly damaged grain, clearing it might be the best option if he has other crops more worth the efforts of careful marketing, said Wild Oats analyst John Duvenaud. To simplify marketing, it might make sense for farmers to move wet or damaged grain first. “It’s painful and expensive and a lot of work and no fun at all” to deal with downgraded crop,

said Duvenaud. For crops that might be worth drying, farmers need to understand the costs. Calculating the various costs can be done with worksheets and programs offered by marketing and production advisers, provincial agriculture departments and farmer organizations. Farmers can better understand the impact of their decisions by doing the math. For instance, a 2013 report by the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute for Keystone Agricultural Producers noted that about $750 million of crops is lost to spoilage each year due to poor storage. A 5,000 bushel bin of canola can lose $10,000 to $50,000 from heat-

ing and other damage if left wet. However, over drying canola by two percent will reduce the sale price by two percent, which is also a lot of money. The math changes depending on whether a farmer owns his own drying equipment or needs to hire somebody to do the drying. The economics of buying new drying equipment to deal with one year of wet crop requires assumptions about future drying needs. Townsend said he’s heard farmers joke that they just want to sell their crop right away and get into the custom drying business this winter, because that is the only place in which decent profitability looks likely. ed.white@producer.com

ONE OR TWO WORDS

China’s dockage issue stalls early season exports MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

he evidence is in on how much the China canola dockage issue hurt exports of the oilseed. Canada shipped only 80,000 tonnes of canola to China in September compared to 314,211 tonnes in the same month in 2015 and 280,539 in 2014, according to Statistics Canada September trade data released last week. August shipments to China were also slow. China imported only 273,163 tonnes of canola in August and September, down from 622,563 tonnes in the same period last year.

The Statistics Canada export data always trails about a month behind. China and Canada worked out a resolution to the dockage issue on Sept. 22. The Canadian Grain Commis-

sion keeps a weekly running tally on exports and it sheds light on how things progressed in October. It shows that total movement in weeks 10 through 13 of the crop year ending Oct. 30 was just a tiny bit behind the pace compared to the year before, so things might be getting back to normal. But the question is, can the weak-

ness of the first two months be made up in the remaining 10 months of the crop year? Luckily, there is another source of demand. We’ve reported before, particularly in the daily market reports we have at Producer.com, that domestic crush is running well ahead of last year and setting new records.

Thanks to a strong crush profit margin, processors in the week ending Oct. 26 logged a blistering performance, crushing almost 200,000 tonnes, a record high for a single week. For the year to Nov. 2, crushers have processed 2.29 million tonnes, meaning that this year for the first time ever domestic processors are accounting for a larger part of canola demand than exporters. This, in part, explains the fact that producer deliveries are actually running ahead of last year, at 4.99 million tonnes, compared to 4.74 million last year. I had expected that this year’s canola market — supply and demand — would unfold in a manner similar to 2015-16. There have been some curveballs thrown at it, but it might yet prove true. Domestic demand might make up for the shortfall in China’s buying at the beginning of the crop year. And the unexpected, but most welcome warm, dry weather this month should allow western Canadian farmers to harvest what was stranded in the fields when snow and rain hit in early October. As well, the canola price run up in October might have allowed producers to price a portion of their crop at profitable levels.

FALL CROPS

Canaryseed outlook depends on late harvest success BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

If farmers manage to harvest their canaryseed crops there should be plenty of supply, but that’s a big if, says an analyst. S a s k a t c h e w a n A g r i c u l t u re reports that half of the crop was still in fields as of Oct. 24. Canaryseed and flax are typically the last crops harvested, so it is not unusual for farmers to be combining them in late fall. What is unusual this year is that growers still have a lot of canola, wheat, durum and other crops left.

EARN CASH BACK agishare.com

“It’s getting late enough now that I think it’s starting to get concerning,” said Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research. “So that’s why (canaryseed) bids have popped a couple of cents now from some buyers anyway.” Agriculture Canada believes growers could harvest 130,000 tonnes of canaryseed if the entire crop is harvested. Penner believes it could be 20,000 to 40,000 tonnes more than that. He said Statistics Canada has a long history of underestimating canaryseed yields. Every year the

agency understates the size of the crop by about 30,000 tonnes. That is why he does not believe Agriculture Canada’s estimate of 5,000 tonnes of carryout from the 2015-16 crop. “It can’t be 5,000 tonnes just based on the way prices have behaved,” said Penner. “We haven’t had an accurate reading on canaryseed supplies for probably about three years now because Statistics Canada doesn’t ask that question anymore in their stocks estimate.” Prices have been relatively flat the last three years, hovering near 20 to

27 cents per pound, which indic at e s t hat e n d i n g s t o c k s a re nowhere near as low as Agriculture Canada’s estimate. But if half of the crop remains unharvested until spring, canaryseed supplies could get tight over the winter, said Penner. There were good harvesting conditions in the forecast as of Nov. 7 but it all depends on what crop farmers want to get in the bin first. Canaryseed might be the last crop off because it can handle winter conditions better than others. “The seed quality generally does pretty well. It’s kind of like flax that

way,” said Penner. The export market for canaryseed has been dwindling. Shipments have fallen from 165,000 tonnes in 2014-15 to 146,000 tonnes last year to an estimated 125,000 tonne program this year. “It’s not a booming market.” Manufacturers of wild birdseed tend to substitute cheaper millet when canaryseed prices climb too high. With slumping export sales, there should be ample supplies if farmers are able to get out in their fields before the snow arrives. sean.pratt@producer.com

New food guide has clout to alter eating habits Commodity groups won’t have input in guide’s revision BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Health Canada is revising Canada’s food guide for the first time in nearly a decade. Commodity groups are keenly interested in what recommendations will be contained in the new guide because it can have a big impact on consumption patterns. But this time around, the groups won’t have the same influence on shaping the guide as they have in the past. Health Canada said it will only seek expert advice from academics, health professional associations, federal, provincial and territorial officials and non-governmental organizations interested in health. The agency came under heavy criticism last time around for being too influenced by commodity groups. Julianne Curran, vice-president of food and health with Pulse Canada, said the food guide is still an important document but it has lost some of its clout. “There was a day when the food guide was the core piece of nutrition information for consumers, but it’s a different landscape now,” she said. Consumers are inundated with advice and diets from health experts and others on social media platforms. But the food guide shapes nutritional policies for the institutional food service sector and school nutrition programs, so it can still have a substantial impact on food consumption patterns. It was last revised in 2007. A review of the guide conducted between 2013 and 2015 determined there were challenges in understanding and applying certain aspects of the guide.

The Canada food guide was revised in 2007 and consultations with health experts for the new guide will end Dec. 8. A new guide is expected in 2018. | FILE PHOTO Health Canada said it also needs to add recommendations, such as replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat and decreasing the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. Pulses are included in the meat and alternatives section of the current food guide. The logic is they are consumed as an alternative to meat. Pulse Canada says the last Canadian Community Health Survey shows that is not the case. People are consuming meat and pulses together. “We have published that evidence but not being part of the consultations, I’m not sure how that will net out,” said Curran.

There was a day when the food guide was the core piece of nutrition information for consumers, but it’s a different landscape now. JULIANNE CURRAN PULSE CANADA

She would like to see pulses as its own category because they are unique. They have more fibre and less fat than meat and more protein than vegetables and grains. She hopes Health Canada adopts

a similar approach as the European Union and Brazil, which have introduced sustainability criteria to their food guides and are promoting healthy eating patterns rather than focusing strictly on meeting nutritional requirements. “It will be interesting to see if they go there,” said Curran. Pulse Canada has been promoting the sustainability aspect of pulses due to their ability to fix their own nitrogen. A serving of pulses is considered to be three-quarters of a cup. There is no specific recommendation on daily intake of pulses but the guide does say to choose them often. As part of the International Year

of Pulses, Pulse Canada engaged a group of nutritionists from around the world and tasked them to come up with a single recommendation for how much pulses to consume. The nutritionists determined that eating half a cup of pulses provides meaningful amounts of nutrition, but even that group would not specify how often that half a cup should be consumed because it depends on a person’s overall diet and other factors. The consultation period for the food guide ends Dec. 8. The new guide is expected to be published in late 2018. sean.pratt@producer.com

Sask. tax incentive entices B.C. firm

Winter cereal acres unclear due to wet conditions in Man., Sask.

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Agrocorp Processing plans to take advantage of provincial incentives to move its Canadian head office from Vancouver to Moose Jaw. Design work is underway for an office building next to the pulse processing plant that has been operating in the city since 2013. Colin Topham, managing director of Agrocorp Processing, said the company is evaluating which incentives it can use, but prefers one for manufacturers and processors. “There’s a 12-percent reduction differential between B.C. corporate income tax and Saskatchewan,” he told reporters. “So that’s a huge incentive. A huge part of our growth plan is to reinvest money that we’re making and that 12 percent comes right back into helping us grow our business in Canada.”

BRAD WALL SASKATCHEWAN PREMIER

Premier Brad Wall said the government has used new growth tax incentives before. “This specific tool (says) to a company if you bring employees here we know they’re going to bring income tax revenue to the province that wasn’t here before,” he said. “That could be partially offset with a credit on corporate income tax.”

Agrocorp’s world headquarters is in Singapore and it has 17 offices around the world. In Canada it has 15 employees in Vancouver and 50 across Canada; 20 of those jobs are currently in Moose Jaw at its plant, which processes 250,000 tonnes of pulses per year. The head office is expected to be built next year and the company says it will add 20 new jobs over the next three years. “We’re on the hunt for new acquisitions every day,” said Topham. Agrocorp bought Veikle Grain in Cut Knife, Sask., this spring. Wall added he first met Agrocorp’s Singapore-based managing director Vijay Iyengar during a trade mission and encouraged the company to invest in Saskatchewan. karen.briere@producer.com

Fall rye and winter wheat information due Dec. 6 BY JADE MARKUS COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

WINNIPEG — Variable conditions across Manitoba and Saskatchewan have made it difficult to estimate winter cereal acreage, the head of an industry group says. But crops that are in the ground have seen mostly favourable weather. Jake Davidson, executive director of Winter Cereals Canada Inc., said he’s waiting for data from Statistics Canada due Dec. 6 to get a better sense of fall rye and winter wheat acres. “I don’t know whether to get excited or not,” Davidson said. “Our biggest problem this year was it was so wet.

“ There are so many places where it was too wet to get the crop in and they couldn’t get the canola off.” Seeding progress is also dependant on soil type, and areas like Carberry, Man., have had fewer issues due to sandy soil. However, the winter wheat and fall rye that is planted should be off to a good start, Davidson said, because temperatures are dropping slowly. “We’re just kind of sitting around waiting for the numbers to see whether it’s better than we think,” Davidson said. Last year, farmers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan seeded about 435,000 acres of winter wheat and about 235,000 acres of fall rye.

Mustard prices steady despite rain BY DAVE SIMS COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

WINNIPEG — The cold, wet weather that has downgraded the quality of some of Canada’s main staple crops isn’t having the same effect on mustard, according to two experts on the specialty crop. Much of this year’s harvest is already over, but a significant number of acres remain in Saskatchewan and Alberta, said Walter Dyck of Olds Products in Lethbridge last week. Drier weather has pushed into the Prairies recently, giving farmers hope they will be able to get

more crops off before winter arrives. “The fields are saturated and there’s so much moisture in the air,” said Richard Marleau, chair of the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission. “Seems to be we get one warm day and that’s enough to bring a shower overnight and then you’re back to square one.” Mustard has deteriorated less than most other crops because it is an oilseed, but it is prone to a bit of shelling, he said. Dyck said prices for the three types of mustard — oriental, yellow and brown — are almost 30 cents a pound.

Most of the 125,000 tonnes that Canada typically exports will go to the United States, he added. U.S. growers planted a bit more mustard this year, but he doesn’t see it changing the export ratio. Marleau said demand for Canadian mustard remains steady. Yields should be similar to last year. “From what I’m hearing, yields might be in the 800 to 900 pounds an acre,” he said. “Last year’s acreage on average was about 850 lb.” Statistics Canada says prairie farmers planted 525,000 acres of mustard this year, up considerably from last year’s 345,000 acres.

The week’s U.S. slaughter set a new record high at 2.532 million, topping the previous record set two weeks previously. As packers approach capacity, the hog price again weakened. Hog supply was ample. Iowa State University calculations put the average net loss for hogs marketed in the state in September at -$15.77 per head. It was the first loss since January. Ron Plain and Scott Brown of the University of Missouri say the red ink will likely continue into spring. The U.S. national live price average for barrows and gilts was US$34.36 per cwt. Nov 4, down from $35 Oct. 28. U.S. hogs averaged $42.68 on a carcass basis Nov 4, down from $44.48 Oct. 28. The U.S. pork cutout was $73.34 per cwt. Nov 4, up from $72.89 Oct. 28. T h e e s t i m a t e d U. S. w e e k l y slaughter for the week to Nov 4 was 2.532 million, up from 2.401 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.362 million last year at the same time. In Canada, the Nov. 4 Signature Five price was C$118.48 per 100 kilograms, down from $120.31 the previous week. The price was $53.74 on a per hundredweight basis, down from $53.89 the previous week.

Chicago cattle futures rallied early in the week, and there was good buying interest in Canada on the modest cash offering. Most trade was dressed at $227$233 delivered.

the most since the beginning of March. Slaughter bulls were $102.19, down $1.06. Over the past month, butcher bulls have fallen much faster than cows. The cow-bull price spread is now the narrowest it’s been this year. Market lows are expected sometime over the next 30 days.

FEEDERS STRONGER All provinces but Ontario saw calf and feeder prices rise last week. From annual lows in the third week of October, calf and feeder prices have rallied $5-$10 per cwt. Fewer calves were forward priced this year, and one would assume that more would be sold in the fall but that has not been the case. Auction volumes are up but still manageable given the time of year. Contributing to the lighter volumes are farms under quarantine because of bovine tuberculosis, wet pastures and the late harvest. This year’s calf run may be more spread out than in recent years. A few 750-800 pound steers were sold for January delivery, and prices were lower than current cash prices. The best strategy has been to sell into rallies, which have been shortlived on the Chicago cattle market.

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS

TB puts halt on cattle sales; ranchers need funding help

here, but for the grace of God, go I. That’s what many cattle producers in Western Canada may be thinking as they watch a scant few among them, about 30 ranchers, persevere under the restrictions of a quarantine. One cow from a southeastern Alberta ranch was found with bovine tuberculosis. To maintain the country’s TB-free status, other cattle are being destroyed and ranches are prohibited from selling animals until a Canadian Food Inspection Agency investigation directs them otherwise. The rancher who owned the infected cow was afraid he would be crucified — his word — when the repercussions became apparent to his neighbours and the rest of the cattle industry. Instead, they have rallied around and sought help for him and others affected. We add our voice to theirs. One case of TB is minor in Canada’s cattle industry. Unlike the disaster of BSE’s discovery in 2003, it presents no trade implications or human health concerns. However, for those who cannot sell their cattle to pay their bills, help is needed. In some cases, producers lack the facilities, feed and water to manage calves they would ordinarily sell this fall, and testing is expected to take months. For those with herds in quarantine or that may be placed in quarantine as the investigation proceeds, this case is a disaster affecting their livelihoods and potentially their future in the business. Alberta Beef Producers has asked Alberta Agriculture Minister Oneil Carlier to help secure federal AgriRecovery funding for ranchers whose herds are in quarantine. In the meantime, the province says help

is available from programs such as advance payments, feeder association loan guarantees and flexible loan options through the Agriculture Financial Services Corp. If these options do not serve the purpose, others must be found. The CFIA has a protocol to eliminate TB, and although the slaughter of healthy animals is part of it, no one has voiced objections, at least publicly, over the methods deemed necessary to maintain the country’s record of herd health. There is, however, one big question: what role did the wild elk herd play? Elk can carry TB, and although the original 250 animals placed on Canadian Forces Base Suffield were free of the disease, uncontrolled herd expansion renders that status moot. It is unlikely that the original source of one cow’s TB infection will ever be found, in elk or anywhere else, but ranchers in the region — most of those now in quarantine, in fact — have complained about the herd for years. Those 8,000 elk eat a lot of grass and forage, some of it designated for cattle. They also destroy fences and feed stores, present a hazard on roads and affect the sensitive and water-scant grasslands of the region. Regardless of whether any of these elk have TB or transmitted it, recent events must rouse the province to reduce the size of the herd. Increased hunting won’t be enough, and other solutions may not be pretty. Wat c h i n g ra n c h e r s’ l i v e l i h o o d s destroyed isn’t pretty, either.

TRANSPORT 2030

Ottawa’s plan for grain transport raises key questions CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

t t awa ha s u nv e i l e d i t s vision for Canada’s grain transportation system and so far farm groups seem happy about it. But it doesn’t mean Ottawa can wipe grain transportation from its list of policy issues just yet. Transport Minister Marc Garneau outlined his Transport 2030 plan in a speech in Montreal Nov. 3. It was a lengthy address that was all about trains, planes and automobiles. The goal, he said, is to get Canadians and their goods to where they need to go in an efficient manner while benefiting the national economy. The overarching speech touched

on everything from airport security wait times to airline ownership, rail safety and infrastructure improvements. For the many farm groups present, key lines about how Ottawa plans to deal with the country’s grain transportation woes caught their attention. The federal government, Garneau said, plans to introduce legislation next spring that will allow producers and shippers to negotiate reciprocal penalties in rail contracts, something shippers and farm groups have been demanding for years. Reciprocal penalties in contracts was a key request put forward to the former Conservative government at the height of the grain transportation crisis in 2013-14. Shippers argued that the railways were allowed to impose penalty clauses on shippers if they failed to deliver on their contracts, but simi-

lar penalties are not allowed on railways. The request for reciprocal penalties had also been put to the government before millions of tonnes of grain was left stranded across the Prairies for months, costing the western Canadian economy about $5 billion. The request had been repeatedly refused by the Conservatives. Garneau told reporters Nov. 3 the decision to allow reciprocal penalties was based on ensuring a more equitable shipping environment, adding Ottawa will work to clarify in its spring legislation what “adequate and suitable” service means. Canada’s grain transportation system has been a dominant policy concern among western farm groups for years, with producers and shippers worried the system’s susceptibility to backlog was putting Canada’s global reputation as a

reliable shipper at risk. Demands for a long-term, sustainable solution were constant, with farmers regularly raising the matter with MPs in Ottawa and in their home ridings. But, while many farm groups welcomed Ottawa’s latest promises, some took a cautionary tone. Western agriculture ministers warned that the devil will be in the details — especially since the transport minister has not said how he plans to deal with two other controversial issues on the same file: the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE) on what railways can charge to ship grain and extended interswitching, which allows one railway limited access to a competing railway’s track. Garneau has said decisions on those will be made by next spring and presented at the same time as the pending legislation on reciprocal penalties.

The federal government plans to introduce reciprocal penalties, but it will be spring before it clarifies what ‘adequate and suitable’ service means

The 2015 Emerson report recommended the MRE be phased out within seven years. The recommendation was welcomed by Canada’s major railways, which insist the policy stifles innovation. Farm groups argue the rule protects farmers from being overcharged for grain shipping because of lack of rail competition. Emerson also advised Ottawa to end a 2014 decision to extend interswitching distances — a move Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway argue has complicated grain movement. Farm groups say the practice has increased competition. Garneau would not say whether he agrees with Emerson’s recommendations. Parliament extended the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act in June for the 2016-17 crop year. The yearlong extension was granted to give Garneau time to develop his plan for remaking Canada’s grain logistics system. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

New York Times ignored GM crop benefits

CETA, TPP still face hurdles

BY STUART SMYTH

he New York Times claimed Oct. 29 that it had conducted an “extensive examination” of genetically modified crops and found their benefits to be lacking. The use of the word “‘extensive” by the media is a bit of an oxymoron. It is certainly the case in this situation because the Times would appear to have applied an environmental non-governmental organization filter to its examination. Unfortunately, the research for this article was not extensive or balanced. It lacks discussion of immense literature on the benefits of GM crops in the United States and Canada. There have been substantial benefits for consumers, farmers, human health, the environment and sustainable development. The biggest GM crop in Canada is canola, used both for consumer food and livestock feed. My own research shows annual economic benefits to Canadians of $350 to $400 million per year. Much of this has gone to farmers through higher yields and lower production costs, but consumers have also benefitted through low prices for margarine and healthier cooking oils. The other huge beneficiary is the environment because of major reductions in pesticide use (35 percent), soil tillage, soil erosion, fossil energy use and greenhouse gas emissions — all directly related to GM canola. As well, the environmental impact of canola production has dropped by 53 percent. A study led by Hutchinson (2010) on the economic benefits of GM corn adoption in the U.S. found that GM corn created $6.8 billion in

Reduced herbicide use is one of the key benefits of genetically modified crops. | FILE PHOTO extra value with 60 percent going to non-adopters because of lower insect pressures. This means non-GM corn farmers are making fewer pesticide applications to their corn fields because of the spill-over benefits from GM corn fields to non-GM corn fields. One GM crop that was completely ignored was the success of insect resistant GM papaya in Hawaii. Ring spot virus had infected virtually all of Hawaii’s papaya production in the early 1990s, dropping from 58 million pounds in 1993 to 35 million lb. just five years later. This production decline was estimated to have been worth US$17 million per year. G M v i r u s re s i s t a n t p a p a y a allowed Hawaiian production to

return to normal as nearly all producers adopted GM papaya. The NY Times’ intrepid investigation failed to reveal how Europe’s rejection of biotechnology is having a devastating effect on GM crop adoption in developing countries. One of the most significant economic benefits identified from GM crop commercialization has been the adoption of GM cotton in India. Farm families there, living on less than $2 per day, have seen their household incomes rise by a 134 percent. In China, GM cotton increased farmers’ annual income by $200 per acre. In Burkina Faso, GM cotton farmers received $30 per acre more than non-GM cotton farmers. In the Philippines, GM corn farmers

have annual net incomes of $600 versus $400 for non-GM corn farmers. Environmental benefits from GM crops come from reduced chemical applications. In India, cotton farmers lose 50 to 60 percent of yield because of insect infestations. Those growing GM cotton have reduced pesticides to control insects by 41 percent. Cotton farmers in China used to spray fields as often as 30 times per season to control insects. That use is down by about 90 percent with GM crops. Human health has also experienced enormous benefits following the adoption of GM crops. Most chemical applications in developing countries are done by farmers walking through fields with short sleeve shirts, sometimes barefoot, spraying chemicals from a backpack. A study of chemical use with GM cotton farmers in India found that cases of pesticide poisoning dropped by 2.4 to nine million cases per year. Similar results were observed in Burkina Faso, where it is estimated that GM cotton results in 30,000 fewer cases of pesticide poisoning annually. “Extensive examination?” Hardly. It looks like the New York Times interviewed the leading European environmental NGOs and then followed their lead by ignoring all of the research highlighted above. However, headlines about the economic, environmental and human health benefits of GM crops don’t sell newspapers.

RAILWAY INCENTIVES

Adjust rail revenue cap to encourage investment HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ost farmers and farm groups want the maximum revenue entitlement maintained on grain movement by the major railways. The feds are promising to address the future of the MRE in upcoming legislation but haven’t tipped their hand on exactly what they’re planning to do. Without the protection of the MRE, which is also known as the railway revenue cap, there’s little doubt that producers would be paying more and perhaps a lot more for grain transportation. However, changes are warranted

in the MRE formula to give the railways more incentive to invest in the system, particularly with regard to the fleet of railway hopper cars, and this can be accomplished without fundamentally altering MRE protection. GATX Canada has come up with some thoughtful suggestions in this regard. As a major player in the building and leasing of railway cars, GATX has an obvious vested interest, but its ideas appear to have merit. We need a path forward to replace the government purchased railway hopper cars that are nearing the end of their useful life. GATX says the replacement of more than 17,000 soon-to-be expiring railway hopper cars could reach a total cost of $1.7 billion ($100,000 per car). There’s little appetite for federal and provincial governments to again invest in cars, so it make sense to provide the proper incentives for the railways to invest.

The way the MRE currently works, adjustments are made each year based on changes in input costs. However, if one railway acquires new cars and the other does not, the benefit from the upward adjustment in the MRE is split between the two railways. Each railway should obviously have its own factor for qualified investments. As well, GATX says the Canada Transportation Agency has permitted the railways to include lease or purchase expenses only if the new cars can be correlated to destroyed or otherwise eliminated government cars. Rather than being reimbursed for newer, larger-capacity cars, the agency is limiting the railways to the capacity of the smaller government cars. Another complication is CTA’s methodology that discounts the cost of the lease that the railways can include in the MRE. GAT X argues that given the sophistication of information technology, it’s now possible to provide

a highly accurate accounting of the lease cost actually incurred in MRE-eligible grain traffic on a carby-car basis. This would ensure the railways of a full recovery on their actual cost for supplying rail cars for the export of grain. The theoretical 50-year lifespan h a s m o s t o f t h e c a r s re t i re d between 2025 and 2030. GATX says in its experience, the lifespan of this brand of hopper cars is closer to 40 years, making the next five years important for figuring out fleet replacement. New cars will last a long time, but the initial investment will be daunting if the proper incentives aren’t in place. Ultimately, farmers will end up paying for any new rail cars, but if MRE protection remains, at least the railways won’t be able to charge whatever the market will bear.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

igning of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, or CETA, by Canada and the 28 European Union nations played out in an international saga recently. While some Canadians grimaced at Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland’s antics when the tiny Belgian region of Wallonia threatened to block the deal, we may see a much bigger saga when the Trans-Pacific Partnership faces ratification. CETA will eliminate 98 percent of tariffs between Canada and the EU. Canada exports about $3.3 billion worth of agri-food to the EU annually. The deal opens up new prospects in some markets, such as meat and pork, with the cattle sector alone possibly seeing a $600-million opportunity. Grain farmers will still face hurdles, such as the EU’s aversion to genetically modified crops, and the cattle sector must deal with the EU ’s ban on hor mone use in imported cattle. CETA and the TTP were negotiated by the Conservative government of Stephen Harper, but it’s up to the Liberals to steer them through Canadian waters. Many agricultural organizations are more excited about the 12-nation TTP, since it opens up markets in Asia, most notably, Japan. Under the TTP, tariffs will be dropped in stages. To get a sense of how much more TTP means, Canada exported $4.4 billion in agriculture goods annually to Japan alone from 2012-14. It’s thought that could triple. Grain, oilseed and beef exports could increase significantly. But the sticking point this time won’t be a tiny region of a small nation; it will be the United States. Only the degree of obstruction was determined on Nov. 8. Donald Trump vowed to “stop Obamatrade in its tracks,” while Hillary Clinton says the deal must be renegotiated. The TTP took 10 years to negotiate. While all countries have signed, it still must be ratified by each nation. And public displays of exasperation by Canada aren’t going to cut it with the U.S., where the mood among voters in certain areas is decidedly against trade deals. Regardless, whoever won the Nov. 8 U.S. election (this issue was sent to press the day before), Trump or Clinton is going to come calling. Trudeau’s government will have to do more than play its part on a stage. It will have to stand up to the economic might of the U.S., whose president is going to push hard. That will test Trudeau’s mettle.

LAND TAX HIKE

Manitoba farmers plan action over farmland tax hike Producers who have seen their tax bill double threaten to boycott businesses they say are getting a tax break BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — Farmers are vexed and frustrated by huge increases in farmland taxes, but solutions appeared hard to come by during Keystone Agricultural Producers’ advisor y council meeting. Some farmers have seen their tax bills double, while others have seen more modest increases. But many see inequity developing between urban and rural taxpayers. “It’s a system that’s broken and it is a crisis,” said Dan Mazier, KAP president. “Guys can’t withstand $20 an acre increase in taxation.”

The 2016 provincial tax reassessment saw major increases in the assessment of farmland in many areas, reflecting the surging farmland values of recent years. Most other forms of land and property have not increased nearly as much. That has the effect of shifting the relative tax burden from nonagricultural land to farmland. But it’s not a uniform shift. “It’s so variable,” said Mazier, noting that some farmers have seen their municipal and education taxes increase only $1 per acre, while others in the same municipality have seen $10 per acre increases. Some farmers have seen $20 per

acre increases. Across Manitoba. many farmers have been shocked by this year’s tax bills. That has sparked much angry discussion, with farmers in the rural municipality of Springfield threatening to conduct a tax strike, while others have threatened to boycott local village and town businesses that are getting a tax break because of the increased farmer share of the load. “If that’s what it takes, it’s going to happen,” said Gerry Demare of Somerset about boycotting local businesses until they take the issue seriously. Farmers debated the issue at the KAP policy meeting, with the organization arranging meetings with

the provincial agriculture, finance and municipal government ministers. KAP hopes to see farmland tax rates reduced to slow the shift from urban to rural. It also hopes to remove the $5,000 cap on education tax rebates for farmland. Whatever the possible solution, Mazier said the sudden shift isn’t a reasonable development that the public can expect farmers to simply accept. “I just couldn’t get over the rate of increase,” said Mazier. “Has this ever happened in any other industry or any other time in Manitoba’s history, that a ratepayer paid 50 or 90 percent more land taxes?” ed.white@producer.com

COGGINS TESTING COMPULSORY To the Editor: I’m interested in how the federation of horse owners is going to police the Coggins test, or swamp fever testing, if it has to be mandatory for all horses. The government will have to step up to the plate and get every horse in Canada tested, as it is costly for horse owners, since it has to be done twice a year. The veterinarian draws blood and has it tested at the provincial lab. If it’s a negative test at the time, with in a few hours, or days, the horse may be bitten by an infected insect and would test positive when they repeated the test. Every horse in Canada — whether slated for meat, every stock contractor, bucking stock, family owned horses, race horse breeder, horse trainers, show horses or trail and pleasure horses — all have to be tested twice a year. I don’t know how they are going to eradicate swamp fever with all the mosquitoes, or deer, or horse flies that are at large. Is this a purpose to get rid of all horse shows, rodeos, trail riders, etc., as it is expensive to get horses done twice a year? It may be OK if you have one or two horses, but there are a lot of people who own dozens and dozens of horses. Sure, horses that are going across the border have to be tested; that’s understandable, but unless they have a program to eliminate all insects that carry the virus, we still have a problem. What happens with the wild horse program in Alberta? They would all have to corralled and tested. This would be stressful for these horses, and who would be paying the vet bill? Is swamp fever transmitted by mucous secretions, or is it sexually transmitted, or is it just transmitted by biting insects? Then why is testing required twice a year? What does happen to these horses if a positive test is discovered? Can they be sold for meat, or do they have to be put down? This is a disease that has to start with the insects that carry the virus, and how do you control this? Elaine Cozart Brownlee, Sask.

WET WEATHER

Waterlogged crops, pastures frustrate northern Man. farmers BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

When Doug Northcott looks at his canola, he sees swaths of income slowly rotting away on fields too wet to work. When he looks into his bins, he sees lots that needs attention right now, but he can’t do that either. “We’ve got grain to dry but we can’t move around (the yard) really because it’s so wet that whatever gravel we have will be pushed into the ground if we start moving around on it,” said Northcott, who heads the The Pas Farmers Association in the semi-isolated northern farming region. Up to three times as much rain as usual has soaked the area’s soil since August, bringing the water table almost to the surface. Crops lie in fields, looking less and less likely to be harvested before next spring. Bales of hay sit in water on soaked hay fields. Pastures are muddy messes. Cattle are treading through soaked soil, damaging pasture and their own feet. With winter quickly approaching, the next few months look grim. Rod Berezowecki, reeve of the Rural Municipality of Kelsey, said the inundation of heavy rain since late summer has badly disrupted the local farming community. “This year has been an overwhelming year for water, and it’s overwhelming our resources,” said Berezowecki. Fa r m i n g a ro u n d T h e Pa s i s unique, being conducted in a broad plain drained by slow and lazy rivers that flow out of the surrounding forests. It is 200 kilometres north of the Swan River area, which many people assume to be the northernmost farming region in Manitoba. It’s an archipelago of farms and ranches on a soil surface only a few centimetres above the water table. Rain can cause overland flooding, which is exacerbated when the water table is raised by the water pushed back by the Grand Rapids hydro electric plant to the east on the edge of Lake Winnipeg. Pumps often run continuously to get water into the local rivers, which is what is happening now. The local infrastructure is maxed out, Northcott said, and improvements are needed. The local plight recently received publicity when one farmer’s situation, with cattle stranded and hay spoiled, became known through an online petition that was shared on Facebook. The farmer, Tim Berscheid, has said he believes the RM is creating many of his problems because of the way it is operating local pumps. However, the RM and the provincial government say the problems come from the huge amounts of recent rainfall overwhelming the ability of the system to alleviate it. Northcott said wet years seem to have become more common, so farmers’ problems with saturated soil are growing. He’d like to see more drainage infrastructure and better maintenance of the existing system. Berezowecki said anxiety is general among farmers.

“All the producers are feeling some stressing issues with overland flooding,” he said. “October especially has been just unbelievable.” Brian Lemon, general manager of Manitoba Beef Producers, said far mers are wor r ied as cold weather arrives. “They’ve had trouble all summer long cutting hay. They’ve had trouble all summer long getting into pastures. They’ve had trouble putting up hay,” said Lemon, who has been talking with local and provincial government officials about the situation.

“It’s almost unique. It’s an intricate system that runs very, very well most times, but when you combine it with the amount of rain we’ve had, it makes it hard to keep up.… It’s an unfortunate sort of perfect storm that has come up.” Northcott said he and other farmers are heading into freezeup anxious, worried and dreading the winter. “It’s extremely frustrating up here, and it’s hard on your head.” He estimated that 60 percent of his crop is still in the field. ed.white@producer.com

FAIRVIEW, Alta. — The Peace Region Forage Seed Association has taken steps to educate people about genetically modified alfalfa. It has hired Bill and Jane Farney to meet with producers and government and acquaint them with the risks the crop might present to market access for alfalfa seed. Heather Kerschbaumer, president of Forage Seed Canada, who also operates Golden Acre Seeds near Fairview, Alta., said the Farneys will also focus their efforts on keeping GM alfalfa out of the Peace region in particular. Kerschbaumer said the initiative is designed to protect the region’s markets for alfalfa seed and doesn’t represent objections to GM technology. “If you have (GM) traits that you can control, bring them on,” she said. “I have no problem with people growing (GM) canola across the road from me, but I wouldn’t want them to grow Roundup Ready alfalfa across the road from me because I know for sure it’s going to contaminate what’s in the ditches. If I ever grow alfalfa in my field, even if I don’t’ have it this year, I will eventually become contaminated, without a doubt.” Bill Farney said he and Jane are still developing their approach, but they have already spoken with producers and seed companies about the issue. He echoed Kerschbaumer’s position on the technology and its potential threat to existing markets. He said 18 percent of the forage seed in Western Canada is produced in the Peace region, according to Statistics Canada data, and the Alberta forage seed industry as a whole is worth $140 million. The presence of GMOs could ban seed from Europe, Japan and other countries that don’t accept GM commodities and products. Kerschbaumer said more education is needed because many people equate Roundup Ready alfalfa with GM canola, which has been widely accepted by farmers across the Prairies. “Alfalfa is a perennial. That’s a big difference,” she said. “Alfalfa is wild in every ditch, every bush line, every fence line. Alfalfa is pollinated by bees that fly miles. And canola, you never see volunteer canola in ditches the next year because it dies. It doesn’t transfer from field to field.” The forested buffer zone between the Peace region and the rest of Alberta’s cultivated regions could make it an ideal place to remain free of GM alfalfa even if it becomes common in the rest of the province, Kerschbaumer added. As it stands, a co-existence plan has been developed for Roundup Ready alfalfa in Western Canada, although some growers have questioned its effectiveness if implemented. The company with rights to the technology, Forage Genetics International, has said it has no plans to introduce Roundup Ready alfalfa or its stacked trait low lignin alfalfa in Western Canada. barb.glen@producer.com

ALBERTA’S ENHANCED PROTECTION FOR FARM AND RANCH WORKERS ACT

Beware of offers for farm safety certification BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — The phone rings at the farm and someone on the line offers to do a safety assessment to prepare that farm for compliance with Alberta’s new Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act, formerly known as Bill 6. The offer comes with a price tag, of course. Should Alberta farmers accept? Doreen Neilley, a director with Bison Producers of Alberta, says they should proceed with caution. She is a member of the committee charged with making recommendations on education, training and certification related to Occupational Health and Safety. It is one of the roundtables of people appointed by the Alberta government to sort out the nuts and bolts of the act. “To the best of our knowledge, there is no one who has any kind of a certification because there’s no one who is yet, and this is going to sound a little weird, but no one is certified to certify these people,” said Neilley. “There is no one under the current system who can actually put someone through a process that says, ‘yes, you are capable of going out to someone’s farming business and saying yes, you meet the criteria. Here’s your certificate.’ “People are getting taken in. Some people have spent several

thousand dollars, which really irritates me.” A spokesperson from Alberta Agriculture confirmed the requirements for safety certification at agricultural operations are yet to be established as government awaits roundtable recommendations. The department said FarmSafe Alberta is a program that complies with the government’s certificate of recognition requirements but could not elaborate on what that might mean for final regulations.

Agricultural producers should know that any other third-party certification is not a requirement under the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act. ALBERTA GOVERNMENT

“(FarmSafe is) the only farm safety program that qualifies businesses to apply for their Certificate of Recognition and become eligible for WCB rebates,” said a government spokesperson in an email about the issue. “Agricultural producers should know that any other third-party certification is not a requirement under the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act.” Neilley said recommendations

on the precise certifications that will be needed for farms to comply with the act are unlikely to come from the roundtable. The more likely outcomes are general in nature. “We have agreed, in the education panel, that education is a vital component of safety in agriculture for everyone concerned, not just employees who fall under the act,” she said. “I know that farm families have been exempted from the act…. However, we have agreed to recommend to the government that any education system, components, etc. that are meant for agriculture are to be accessible to everybody, including family operations.” She said the roundtable has also agreed that any education program must be suitable to agriculture, usable, adaptable to any size of operation, practical and accessible even to people without high-speed internet capacity. As well, the group agreed that

safety education information should be available in one place. One of her primary worries now, however, is that safety companies may be taking advantage of farmers by offering training and services that might not be legally required once the regulations are set. “There are people out there now who have recognized an opportunity to swindle some of us,” she said. “Avoid being sucked in by someone making a cold call and telling you that they can provide training and certification for your agriculture business to protect you from OH and S problems.” Glen Blahey, agricultural health and safety specialist with the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association, said many companies are flogging their services to farmers, and not all of them offer reliable information. However, reports of illegitimate course offerings are only anecdotal. “We’re hearing dribs and drabs and smatterings about people like that,” said Blahey. That said, he doesn’t discount the value of having safety assessments done on the farm operation. “The heads up that producers need to understand is that while it’s a good idea to take that action, try and make sure the money you’re putting out is going to give you value and is going to be consistent with the needs of the regulator.” Blahey said there is a national standard for health and safety pro-

fessionals in the agricultural sector, which is available from CASA and on its website. It outlines the measures for competency in the field. Alberta agricultural operations may want to proceed with safety assessments done by professionals even before the government rules are established, he said. “It’s certainly not too soon at all. Part of good business risk management is including health and safety into your program, into your risk management strategy. “If you’re going to make an effort to protect your workers and protect yourself so that no one gets sick or injured from something that was preventable, that should also be looked at as business risk management.” He said there are economic benefits to having a safety program on the farm, ranch or other agricultural operation. It also allows them to demonstrate due diligence in managing health and safety. No one gets a cheque at the end of the year saying they have a good, safe farm, said Blahey, but a program does pay off in many ways. “It will earn you more than it costs you,” he said. Neilley said she likely wouldn’t outright reject companies that called offering safety assessments. “Let’s not burn any bridges, but if I get any of those phone calls, I’d just say I’m dealing with that as I get to it.” barb.glen@producer.com

CLIMATE CHANGE

Albertans protest carbon tax policy Rally organizer says higher electricity and fuel costs will hurt the processing industry and entire economy BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Those concerned about the Alberta government’s Climate Leadership Implementation Act want the legislation put to a referendum before it takes effect . Rallies were held in 11 Alberta locations Nov. 5 where participants could sign their names to petitions asking the NDP government to delay the planned Jan. 1, 2017, implementation of the act until Albertans can vote on it. About 300 people attended the Lethbridge rally, and events were also held in Edmonton, Calgary, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Hanna, Red Deer, Airdrie, Camrose, Brooks and Drayton Valley. Dale Snow, who farms south of Lethbridge, was among the speakers who said the act, dubbed the carbon tax, will increase costs. “It’s going to affect our inputs. It’s going to affect any transportation, which would include anything that we use, anything that we sell. It will increase consumer costs. “My biggest concern is what is it going to do to all of these plants that process our beef, our potatoes, our

corn, our vegetables? I think it’s going to put them so far out of the competition that they’ll move.” Southern Alberta is home to two large beef processing plants, several potato plants, a sugar factory, canola crushers and other agricultural and food processors. “You look at Cargill, JBS, they have got millions of cubic feet of refrigerated storage. If the cost of that electricity goes double or triple? They’re in it to make money. They’re huge. If that plant’s unprofitable, shut ‘er down. “I think that’s what our government is failing to realize, is that businesses actually have to turn a profit. People are in business to make money and it seems like that is just totally going over their heads because of government ideology.” Davey Wiggers, a member of the Alberta-wide rally organizing group, said about 50 people put together the Nov. 5 event and the carbon tax became a focus. “Simply put, the government persists in telling everyone that most Albertans support a carbon tax. The facts just don’t hold this out,” Wiggers said.

Some expressed their views with placards as about 300 people gathered in Lethbridge to protest Alberta’s carbon tax. A calm 20C day made it easy to sit and listen to speakers for two hours. | BARB GLEN PHOTO “Those that are aware of what this is going to do, what a carbon tax will do to this economy, are vocally opposed. The rest unfortunately aren’t informed and the reason they’re uninformed is simply, there’s been no time. Before there was a chance to really understand what was going on, we had a bill passed.” The government act includes a $20 per tonne carbon levy, with proceeds invested in programs to reduce carbon output. A system of rebates will see about 66 percent of households receive full or partial rebates on the levy, according to the government.

VOTE

NOW AND ELECT YOUR BOARDS

Since passing the act, it has also announced $10 million in funds to expand programs designed to help farmers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save money on energy bills. Marked farm fuel is exempt from the tax. However, farmers including Snow have expressed concern about the effect a levy could have on input costs. Paul Hinman, former Wildrose Party leader, called the legislation draconian and hypocritical before addressing those at the Lethbridge rally. “If someone doesn’t want to use carbon, I have all the respect in the

world for it. But chances are they have no comprehension of whether their food, their clothing, their car, their house is warm, the insulation, whatever, comes from carbon. And we just are being continually fed propaganda that to me is not correct or in the interests of our people.” Wiggers said the Nov. 5 rallies were the kickoff to encourage Albertans to sign the petition requesting a referendum. A news release about the rallies said the goal is to secure up to one million signatures. barb.glen@producer.com

MEMORIES OF WAR

Harold Hathaway and the Schedule of Reserved Occupations Canadian farmers were among the list of workers excluded from active duty during the Second World War BY SHERI HATHAWAY FREELANCE WRITER

The moment Alice and Edward Hathaway heard the news, they were ready to fight for their son, Harold’s, life. It was the fall of 1939 and Canada had declared war against Germany. Canada avoided conscription, but at 21 and single, Harold was expected to volunteer for overseas action. Many families tried to save their sons and daughters from active war duty as my family did for my father, Harold. They were helped by the Schedule of Reserved Occupations, which included workers needed to support the country at home. That listed farmers, dock workers, miners, scientists, merchant seamen, railway workers and utility workers. Edward had already lost two brothers in the First World War and didn’t feel compelled to sacrifice his only son in this second conflict. Alice, who was born in England in 1883, was forced to quit school at age eight to work bussing tables in a tavern due to the death of her father. Her mother also worked but women were paid so little, the whole family had to contribute. At 27, Alice immigrated alone to Canada and worked as a housekeeper for a wealthy family in Edmonton. At 16, Edward immigrated with his family to Lloydminster in 1903

from England as part of the Barr Colonists. He filed his own homestead and proved up, but he was drawn to see more of the country.

By the time Alice arrived in Edmonton, Edward was working as a blacksmith there. They wanted to raise their family

on a farm, so in 1913, they sold two houses in Edmonton to buy two homesteads north of Marwayne, Alta. Twenty-six years later, they found that farming could benefit their son in a way they’d never imagined, by saving his life. The Schedule of Reserved Occupations was Britain’s invention after the First World War and their near devastating mistake of allowing all to sign up for active duty. That decision left Britain almost crippled and unable to rebuild after the war. Wanting to avoid a similar mistake, Canada followed Britain’s lead in preparing for the second world conflict and adopted

its own schedule. The Hathaways decided they would move to Vancouver so Harold’s occupation would shift to farm owner from farm worker. It was not easy. In the spring of 1940, Edward left with their only daughter, Connie, 29, found a house in Surrey and worked as a cooper making wooden barrels. Alice remained with Harold for his first year alone, making meals and keeping him company. The war wasn’t expected to last long. Four years later, still gripped in conflict, the Canadian Forces were running out of men so Prime Minister Mackenzie King asked for permission through a public referendum to enact conscription. That happened in November, 1944, and Harold’s life was again at stake. Alice and Edward watched the mail, living in fear of a letter with the dreaded news. In December, 1944, Harold reported for basic training at Camrose for one month. Now part of Canada’s reserves, he returned to farming while he awaited a call to active duty. The war ended before that came, but 13,000 Canadian reservists were sent to Europe where 2,500 reached the field and 69 died in battle. Harold married Louise McLean in June 1945 and farmed in the Marwayne, Alta., area for 54 years.

MEMORIES OF WAR

Nurse’s correspondence a snapshot of First World War Louise Brock’s letters, cards and telegrams give a first-hand account of life on the front line for Canadian troops BY JOHN GRAINGER FREELANCE WRITER

“My own dearest one, “Sweetheart, I am on the move again, and I am oh so lonely for you and all at home tonight. Every time we start, I have a perfect fit of blues but I want to get oh so near you tonight and be spoiled a little. I wonder will the time never come.” Those words were taken from a letter Louise Brock sent from Cairo to her fiance, S.C. Archibald, in Saskatoon on Feb. 27, 1916. Brock was a Saskatoon nurse who had embarked on a mission of support to Canadian troops who were fighting in Europe. Her story is detailed on a website, greatwar.usask.ca, which was developed at the University of Saskatchewan to document stories of those fighting in the First World War from 1914-18. Brock’s letters, cards and telegrams to family and friends back home are detailed on the website and give a birds’ eye view of her service on the front lines. Brock, who was five feet, five inches tall with grey eyes and dark brown hair, was born in Nova Scotia in May, 1883, and educated in Sydney. She headed west to the Canadian prairie, then volunteered for the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force on Feb. 24, 1915. Her correspondence to and from Brock dates through 1917. Officially and for government purposes, she was known as “Nursing Sister Brock” and travelled with the Canadian Army Medical Corps to hot spots in France, the Darda-

nelles and Salonika. She was decorated with a Royal Red Cross by England’s King George for her efforts. Another excerpt found on the website includes correspondence to Brock from a friend, Annie McColl, dated Feb. 7, 1916. “Well I am not going to write about all the sad things for I know that you must see enough of that. The world is sad and everyone has t h e i r o w n p e c u l i a r t ro u b l e s although Mrs. John Kennedy lost her boy in the war … Well I think my news is getting exhausted but if we were together we would talk until morning.” Throughout an extensive collection of letters and photos, Brock’s life on the front lines is revealed, as

evidenced by a letter she sent to her fiancé, dated May 1, 1915. “So don’t worry about us. We are also very well fed so are our patients and but for the want of a good drink of cold water have everything else we need. A stray bomb might come our way but no one is afraid… in fact dear where we hear airplanes go by, we scarcely ever bother looking up.” In another letter dated May 13, 1915, Brock writes to her fiance: “I have so much to tell you about things. Sometimes, I wonder what you would think and how you would feel about us if you knew just how we are placed here. But we are not the least bit afraid of anything.”

MEMORIES OF WAR

Website gives new access to stories of the Great War BY JOHN GRAINGER FREELANCE WRITER

Every year on Remembrance Day, we pause and give thanks to veterans who served and sacrificed in global conflicts to provide Canadians with a stable lifestyle. A website developed at the University of Saskatchewan provides a local link to the memories of Saskatchewan vets of the First World War of 1914-18 and brings that information closer to home with the click of a button. The university was in its infancy at barely seven years old when the Great War broke out, but it still had a significant affect on the university and province. Of the 345 faculty and students who enlisted for the Great War, 69 died, or as the university reported at the time, “passed out of the sight of man by the path of duty and selfsacrifice.” Another 100 people were injured during the war and 35 people were awarded medals of valour. Patrick Hayes, curator for the website and archives technician with the University Archives and Special Collections, says gathering these resources was a daunting task, but one he can now step back from proudly. U of S historian Bill Waiser, the recently minted winner of a Governor General’s Literary Award, helped form a Great War committee three years ago and asked Hayes to join. “Of course, I said sure,” says

Hayes, who noted the many people on campus who jumped on board this massive project. The website is easy to navigate with a number of topics to choose from, all with drop-down menus that provide more options for specific entries. An extensive library of photos is also available. “Like any large project, it is best to break it up into smaller pieces,” says Hayes. “I started with themes and the accompanying introductions, then sorted the material into subjects under the main themes. … I tried to replicate the in-person archival experience on the web.” One of the best features of the website is the search button, which Hayes quickly credits the university information technology department with creating. Finding information stored in the massive database is now just a click away. A full listing of archival resources is listed, all with links to other websites for more information. Ron Cruikshank came up with the unique RememberUS name while the logo was developed by Jeff Drake. Anyone with stories, photos and information related to the university and the Great War can contact Hayes.

Head injuries, mental illness

4-H student named to PM youth council BY TOM WALKER

HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Can head injuries lead to mental illness? I had an head injury last year when I was knocked unconscious for a few minutes by a golf ball. I seemed to be OK at first apart from a little dizziness, nausea and headaches. I then developed a severe case of depression and had to go on a course of anti-depressants.

FREELANCE WRITER

KELOWNA, B.C. — A 4-H member from Penticton B.C., recently named to the Prime Minister’s Youth Council, says one of his priorities is improving access to health care for rural residents. Macgregor Tebbutt is a third year mechanical engineering student at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, an 11-year member of the Penticton 4-H club and a competitive rodeo athlete. “Health-care access in small rural communities like Princeton or Merritt here in the Okanagan is an important issue for me,” said Tebbutt.

“If a family has to pay to travel to a larger center for care, they may choose not to go.” The 15-member council was chosen from 14,000 applicants across Canada. They met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, various cabinet ministers and the parliamentary secretary during three days of meetings in Ottawa in September. It will continue to meet once a month by video conference or telephone. “The Prime Minister’s Youth Council was created so the youth of Canada would have a means to voice their concerns, their beliefs and their ideals of what the country

should do, directly to the government,” said Tebbutt. “The government has said they will ask us our opinions of policies they are enacting and the directions they are going in but also what issues are important to us.” He said the youth delegates agreed the status of minorities was an important priority in addition to gender and First Nations equality, mental health, the environment and health care. “The council is looking for ways to get youth involved in the community and 4-H certainly does that. I can bring the 4-H voice as well, so that the council knows the ideas that 4-H has been instilling in kids

for over 100 years, said Tebbutt, who is the only member with an agriculture background. He first joined 4-H for a guinea pig project at age 7 and later moved into horses. “The first time I saw roping at a rodeo, I wanted to try it. I do as much of it as I can,” Tebbutt said. “It’s a fun break from my studies and work.” The two-time 4-H scholarship winner has completed two years of junior leadership, been a 4-H ambassador, designed a safety checklist for 4-H Horse members, taught public speaking and organized a 4-H club for rural youth in southern B.C.

One of the routine questions that a psychiatrist asks on the first visit is whether you have had any head injuries in the past. The main psychiatric condition they are looking for is known as organic mental illness, which means that a person may have suffered some type of brain damage following an accident. They are a result of decreased brain function due to any physical or medical disease. A study by Danish researchers published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in 2014 looked at 1.4 million Danes born between 1977 and 2000. They found about 114,000 of them had been admitted to hospital with a head injury. Four percent of these individuals were later diagnosed with depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or organic mental illness. In your case, you would have had a 59 percent extra chance of having a depressive illness episode within a year of the accident. There is also a risk of post-traumatic stress disorder if you have been placed in a potentially life-threatening situation. In either case, the neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain are shaken up and disrupted by the concussion or other brain injury. Medical treatment with antidepressant medications is often required. In the U.K., it is estimated that as many as one million people have head injuries leading them to visit hospitals in any given year, and 135,000 of them will be admitted for at least an overnight stay. Many of the accidents are a result of contact sports such as rugby, with men two or three times more likely to be victims than women.

HELPING OTHERS

Q: A:

Does doing volunteer work make you happier?

Numerous studies have concluded that volunteer work does make you happy and live longer, sometimes as much as 20 percent longer than others who do not volunteer. Giving back to the community and helping the less fortunate are good for a person’s self esteem. Volunteers are often retirees who no longer need to work for pay and have less stressful lives and more time to spare for helping others.

Preventing food waste critical to growing population BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NOBLETON, Ont. — Tonnes of food are discarded every year in Canada at a time when hunger is a global concern. Jewel Mazur, a farm production extension specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said an increasing world population will need 70 percent more food to feed itself by 2050, yet 60 percent of vegetables grown in her province end up unused. Speaking at the National 4-H Members Forum near Nobleton, she said reasons range from spoiling to imperfections or blemishes

to not meeting industry standards. In African countries, the problems include poor roads, lack of refrigeration and climate. The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that one-third of food produced in the world is lost or wasted along the supply chain. Mazur cited an entrepreneur’s work in Portage La Prairie, Man., to reduce food waste in Canada by diverting millions of vegetables bound for the landfill. She uses an innovative steam fusion technology to process the “ugly vegetables” and packages them into shelf stable pouches that will last for two years

at room temperature. “She thought of another way to deal with food that is discarded,” Mazor said. “It’s one way to help

relieve food waste.” Food in Winnipeg accounts for 28 percent of residential waste, she added. Mazur said a family of four wastes 320 kilograms of food a year with fresh vegetables at the top of the list. “That’s a lot of food,” she said. In Portugal, an “ugly food store” sells produce that doesn’t meet the grade for sales in traditional grocery stores. Mazur said food is discarded because of improper packaging, overly large portion sizes, safety concerns and over-purchasing by grocers to keep shelves stocked, but it’s often because of how it looks. “Stores find it more profitable to dump apples and put in fresh ones,” said Mazur. Farmers might plow under fields of carrots rather than sell them for a loss when the market is saturated. “They don’t want to flood the market and take a lower price,” she said. Mazur said fresh produce waste is particularly concerning at a time when youth obesity rates are climbing, caused in part by poor diets and eating habits. She quoted a 2006 report that found that the rate of obesity in children between 12 and 17 tripled over the past three decades in Canada. She also cited the environmental concerns from food waste. “When you’re wasting food, you’re wasting the fuel, labour and chemicals that all went into producing it,” said Mazur. She also said food buried in landfills does not have air to allow it to compost, so it creates methane, a greenhouse gas. There are no penalties for such waste, said Mazur. “In France, supermarkets will be fined if they don’t donate waste food.” She said change in attitudes and actions is possible through improved education around food production and waste and global food security. “There is so much over-production, and it can’t get to places that need it,” said Mazur. She said fewer people grow gardens today because of busy lifestyles and lost skills in preserving produce, so most must shop for such products. The price of food will go up as more prime agricultural land becomes housing developments, she added, and there may be an appetite for cheaper imperfect produce. Mia Wishlow of the Kelowna 4-H

Hoof Beats Club sees the waste in her work in food services, noting how food is prepared just for display and then thrown out each night. “If you add up what is displayed each day per store for the country, the numbers become so big, it’s ridiculous,” she said. Wishlow said best before dates don’t mean food is spoiled; just that’s it’s at the end of its period of peak freshness. Portion size also contributes to food waste. “Serve meals in smaller portions or take the other half home,” she said. Wishlow said waste is commonplace in Canada. “In the Third World, they would use food until they couldn’t physically eat it.” She said food service vendors can play an important environmental leadership role by using bins in their shops to encourage recycling and composting. 4-H members at the forum discovered how their conference venue, the YMCA Cedar Glen, does its part to reduce food waste. It incorporates vegetables from its gardens into meals, composts food waste and returns it to those same gardens. Imperfect produce is shredded or chopped. karen.morrison@producer.com LOOK FOR MORE 4-H COVERAGE IN NEXT WEEK’S ISSUE

Taiwan to Saskatchewan: ‘the adjustment is in the mind’ A Vancouver-born boy married a Taiwan-born girl, settled in Saskatchewan and hopes to transition to organic farming ON THE FARM

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MACRORIE, Sask. — Gretchen Ev a n s u n d e r s t a n d s h o w t h e amount of personal space can shape and mould a person’s character and decisions. She was born on the island of Taiwan and moved to Canada in 1998. Evans knows what it’s like to live on land about the same size as Vancouver Island, but with about 24 million people and a population density of 650 inhabitants per sq. kilometre. Today she lives in central Saskatchewan with a population of 1.8 people per sq. km. Gretchen, her husband, Alex, and their daughter, Elise, 2, call a section of rolling farmland between Macrorie and Lucky Lake home. They share it with their dog, 100 sheep, four geese, nine ducks, 10 cats and 18 chickens. The chickens had free range of the place, but now occupy the family’s freezer. “Here you don’t have exposure to that many people all the time and you have big personal space. In Taiwan, your personal distance is way closer than people here. “It’s a physiological adjustment. Yes the physical environment changed a lot (from Taiwan) but the adjustment is in the mind,” she said.

DEKAY PHOTOS

Gretchen describes Taiwan as “a 24 hour place,” where the seasons don’t have as much impact as on the farm. “People don’t pay as much attention to the weather because there’s so much stimulation. You can always find something to occupy yourself,” she said. “I like the rhythm here now better. I’m more aware of myself and with nature, the season and with the land,” she said. Alex grew up in Vancouver, but spent much of his childhood at his grandparent’s farm, fishing and camping. “I always wanted to get out and live somewhere where there was room to breath,” said Alex, a winder electrician. “I do wiring and controls and motors and bearings, belts and pulleys. It’s a fairly niche trade,” he said.

The idea of taking up farming took root and became more urgent while they were living and working in Alberta. The couple continued to live frugally as the oil industry declined. “As soon as we started working, we saved all of our money in the hope of eventually buying a farm,” Gretchen said. Added Alex: “When other guys were buying shining new trucks, I bought a farm.” They purchased the farm in 2013 and settled in a year later. Since the move, Alex was hired as an electrician with the Lucky Lake Irrigation District. Gretchen keeps busy tending their flock of Canadian ArcottDorset cross sheep and canning preserves from a large garden. They are in transition to a certified organic farm.

Alex, who is grateful for neighbours willing to share their knowledge about farming, is steadily building up an inventory of used farm equipment. “There’s a lot of things sitting in junk piles, sitting at auction sales that nobody wants,” he said. “You’re going to get these things for almost nothing but you also get what you pay for.” His work horse of the farm is a 35 horsepower International B275 tractor built in 1960, which is used for raking hay, feeding bales, cleaning manure and general loader jobs. “It ran and started well and didn’t smoke and that’s good for an old tractor,” Alex said. A 1978 150 h.p. Deutz DX160 tractor is used for the round baler and fieldwork. “Most of them are in the scrap heap now. Ours is probably the

only one still running in Western Canada,” he said. Other acquisitions of a similar vintage include a square baler, swather, combine and set of discs. Other than those tractors, every piece of equipment has been bought for less than $500, Alex said. “Luckily when I got my start in the trade, I worked out of a small shop that wasn’t too different from a farm shop. We did a lot of making do and making it work and fabricating custom tools to get the job done,” he said. When the industry in Calgary was going downhill, he felt farming was a good fit for someone with mechanical skills. “I thought I already know how to keep all this stuff running. I might as well farm myself because I know how much it costs to hire a guy like myself to keep it all running. “It’s not necessarily what you make but what you save and the savings are tremendous if you can maintain old equipment,” said Alex. william.dekay@producer.com

FOREIGN POLICY

German cabinet approves draft law banning GM crops BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) — The German cabinet has approved a draft law banning cultivation of genetically modified crops, government sources said last week. Germany had announced in September 2015 that it would ban cultivation of GM crops under new European Union rules allow-

ing member states to opt out of their cultivation. A E U l aw a p p rov e d i n 2 0 1 5 cleared the way for new GM crops to be approved after years of deadlock, but it also gave individual countries the right to ban GM crops even after they had been approved as safe by the European

Commission. Under the draft German law, applicants seeking EU approval to cultivate GM crops will be asked by the German government to remove Germany from the area in the EU where the crops are approved for growing. If this is refused, a ban on grow-

ing the GM crop in Germany can be imposed even if the EU approves the variety as safe to cultivate. GM crops are widely grown in the Americas and Asia but face divided opinion in Europe. Britain is partly in favour of them, while France and Germany are among

countries that oppose them. There is general agreement in Germany that the country should ban GM crops, but disagreement over whether the bans should be imposed by federal or state authorities caused a long delay in agreeing to the draft law on the ban.

NEWS RESEARCH

New solution found for double nitrogen fixation in soybeans BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A WSU researcher has discovered a way to fix almost twice as much nitrogen in soybeans and increase yields by 36 percent. | FILE PHOTO

A Washington State University plant scientist may have discovered how to accomplish double nitrogen fixation in soybeans. Plant biologists have tried for decades to enhance the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and soil bacteria, in which rhizobia bacteria provide the plant with nitrogen and the legume gives carbohydrates to the bacteria for energy. Mechthild Tegeder took a different approach. She studied how nitrogen moves within soybeans and

learned that it’s possible to dramatically improve the transport of nitrogen from nodule to leaf to seed. Manipulating the compounds that transport nitrogen in soybean plants allowed Tegeder’s soybeans to fix twice as much nitrogen and increase seed yields by 36 percent compared to a group of untreated plants. “I’m a cautious scientist … and I’m very excited how promising this is,” Tegeder said from her office in Pullman, Wash. “(What) I was really impressed about is the amount of additional nitrogen fixed…. Almost 100 percent more nitrogen is fixed.”

Tegeder was less impressed by the yield increase because the soybeans were grown in a greenhouse. She will have to repeat the experiments in the field to verify the gains. It should be fairly straightforward technically to commercialize Tegeder’s idea if the results hold up. When plants uptake nitrogen from the soil, it’s converted into another form in the plant, usually an amino acid. The amino acid, which is an organic compound, moves the nitrogen from the root to the leaves. However, it’s different in soybeans because compounds known as ureides transport nitrogen through the plant. Tegeder and her student, Amanda Carter, found a gene in a common bean that aids the ureides and boosts the flow of nitrogen in the plant. They transferred the gene into soybeans, and the results were dramatic. “Nodule numbers were strongly elevated, leading to an increase in plant nodule biomass of up to 80 percent,” Carter and Tegeder wrote in their paper, published in Current Biology. “(It) increased the number of pods by 14 to 41 percent.” Boosting nitrogen fixation in soybeans and potentially increasing soybean yields is significant, but the discovery has broader potential. “I believe this approach can be transferred to other plants,” Tedeger said. One challenge may be the technology. Putting a gene from a common bean into a soybean plant is transgenic, so regulators would likely classify the technology as genetically modified. Taking a GM trait to market has become extremely expensive and time consuming because regulators require extensive safety tests. Brian Ellis, a University of British Columbia plant scientist, said it can cost $100 to $150 million to develop and register a GM trait. Crop science companies had not contacted Tegeder about her discovery as of mid-October, but others are calling. “I have got phone calls and inquiries from farmers, asking me when this can be transferred into the field,” she said. Tegeder hopes plant breeders and seed companies take advantage of the opportunity if tests prove the technology does function in the field,. “I believe it can have a strong benefit for agriculture but also for the environment,” she said. “It might (improve) the nitrogen use efficiency … which can have huge advantages, potentially less fertilizer input.” robert.arnason@producer.com

APHANOMYCES EUTEITCHES

Infectious pulse disease requires caution BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It’s a bad idea to grow peas and lentils on a field where Aphanomyc e s e u t e i t c h e s i n f e c t i o n ha s become too extreme, scientists and crop experts heard during the Tenth Canadian Pulse Workshop. “Keep susceptible crops out of fields with high risk unless you’re a riverboat gambler,” said Agriculture Canada researcher Bruce Gossen in an interview during the event. “You’re going to lose substantial yield in a highly infested field, even in a dry year.” Millions of pulse acres suffered serious yield loss in 2016 due to wet conditions, which allowed root rots to run rampant. For many root rots, seed treatments and good rota-

Researcher Bruce Gossen says disease-resistant pulse varieties are still a few years away. | ED WHITE PHOTO

tions provide good protection except in very bad years, such as

this one. However, that doesn’t seem to apply to A. euteiches, Gossen said. Seed treatments don’t prevent its widespread impact and there are no good resistant varieties to the disease. The inoculum can sit in the soil for years, reducing the effectiveness of rotations. “Once you get the inoculum ramped up, you continue to have problems, even if it’s dry,” said Gossen. “If it gets wet, then they really become unglued.” Gossen compared A. euteiches to clubroot, which he also studies, and said many of the same approaches should be followed. “I would not be planting that (field) first and dragging soil into other sites,” said Gossen.

“I’d be trying to isolate that problem.” Resistant varieties are at least a few years away, so avoiding creating newly infected fields is essential. When resistance is developed, it can’t be overused or it will also fail quickly. “Even when we have them, if you plant them in a heavily infested field where the inoculum potential is really high, you’re going to blow up the resistance just like we have blown up the resistance to clubroot in a lot of places,” said Gossen. Researchers believe A. euteiches has probably always been present in Western Canada, but pulse crops have been grown in large scales for only a couple of decades. After early years of few problems, root rots have become more wide-

spread, including A. euteiches. As the general problem with root rots have grown, the ability of researchers to separate A. euteiches has developed with molecular marker testing. The good news is that this allows farmers to find out what kind of root rot they have. The bad news is that A. euiteiches is widespread and severe in some places. Wet conditions have allowed root rots to become a much more serious problem for growers in recent years, but Gossen said drier years might not eliminate the problem. The impact of wet years lingers because so much inoculum is produced and left behind. “The potential for disease is going to stay high.” ed.white@producer.com

ALBERTA ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS AND COUNTIES

Municipal group proposes ag exemption for carbon levy BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A number of agriculture related resolutions are to be debated at the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties’ fall convention in Edmonton Nov. 15-17. Most, if not all, of the organization’s activities affect agriculture, but three of this year’s resolutions may be of particular interest to farmers. The County of St. Paul has put forward a resolution that, if passed, will direct AAMD&C to seek an exemption for agricultural operations on natural gas and propane under Alberta’s pending carbon levy. The levy is scheduled to be imposed next year. Marked gas and diesel used for agricultural operations is exempt, and the St. Paul resolution is aimed at taking those exemptions further. It notes that the levy on natural gas and propane “will add significant

operational costs to many operators in the agriculture industry,” among them intensive livestock, greenhouses and grain drying. The resolution notes that carbon taxes implemented in other jurisdictions exempt certain sectors “to shield them from the full impact of the tax.” The MD of Bonnyville and County of Stettler have introduced a resolution asking AAMD&C to lobby government to restore funding to manage vegetation along highways. The resolution says the provincial government is responsible for weed control on 32,000 kilometres of provincial highway, but reduced provincial funding has allowed noxious weeds to spread along highways and into fields in many areas. It says rural municipal efforts to control these noxious weeds are reducing municipal resources. The municipalities want a summer maintenance program restored and a more effective weed

control program made for “one, two and three digit highways” in the province. Another resolution, tabled by the MD of Greenview, County of Northern Lights and Mackenzie County, would direct the AAMD&C to ask government to complete an overall socio-economic impact assessment on all species-at-risk recovery plans now affecting the agriculture, forestry, oil and gas, tourism and mineral exploration industries. Background information attached to the resolution is primarily aimed at the forestry industry and caribou but would have implications for areas that are home to other species considered to be at risk. These and all other resolutions will be debated Nov. 17 at the convention. A complete list with background can be found at aamdc.com. barb.glen@producer.com

NATURE’S DESIGN

OUR TECHNOLOGY

The power of three - TagTeam® LCO is the only triple-action granular inoculant that combines the plant growing power of phosphate, nitrogen and LCO. We combined our phosphate solubilizing soil fungus Penicillium bilaiae with a specially selected nitrogen-ﬁxing rhizobium and the proven performance of LCO (lipochitooligosaccharide) technology. Together, they encourage the development of more and bigger nodules. This means more ﬁxed nitrogen and better access to the relatively immobile phosphate in the soil – helping to provide the best yield potential for your pea and lentil crops. Take your crop to the next level with TagTeam LCO.

Driving the Bottom Line

#bottomline

TagTeam LCO is available in a granular formulation for peas and lentils.

No shell, no problem: eggs find new niche Liquefied egg products a versatile choice BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — Eggs are a common food but new processes are adding value in unusual ways. “Eggs are ubiquitous,” said Jonathan Merkle, chief science officer for the egg processing company Michael Foods, a $2.5-billion-ayear company that has its own farms and processing companies in the United States. It is estimated that 93 percent of North American households have eggs at any given time and 85 percent of shoppers say eggs are healthy. Eggs are more than a breakfast staple. Research has found valuable properties where eggs or their components can be used for nutrition supplements and pharmaceuticals, scientists said at the International Egg Nutrition Symposium held in Banff, from Oct 4-6. While most eggs in North America are sold fresh at retail, processing eggs into liquid and dried products is a growing business. Processed eggs are used in salad dressing, frozen entrees, sauces, baked goods and pasta, as well as in institutional food services. Pasteurized shell eggs are not widely used but work well for recipes requiring lightly cooked eggs. They may also be used for softboiled and sunny-side-up eggs. Many are sold to hospitals or care facilities because the eggs carry lower health risks. Michael’s Foods has a patented process to pasteurize liquid eggs, which are fresh eggs without the shell. These are homogenized, ultra pasteurized and aseptically packaged. When eggs are pasteurized, some of the functionality of the proteins

Restaurants and fast-food outlets prefer processed liquid eggs for health reasons, easier storage and longer shelf life. “In restaurants, if you break shell eggs, you have to wash hands before doing anything else in kitchen,” he said. Whole liquefied eggs have a 12 week shelf life so food service have more flexibility in placing larger orders if required. Food service is also moving more to finished products. Precooked products are available for omelets, egg patties, burritos or quesadillas. They are frozen and the restaurant can quickly reheat them in large batches. They are also used in school and college cafeterias, coffee shops and quickservice restaurants to make breakfast sandwiches. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Eggs: not just for breakfast BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — When porcine epidemic diarrhea killed six million piglets in the United States, egg antibody products were used to make a vaccine to prevent it from spreading further. Eggs and their components are finding their way into antimicrobials, nutrition supplements, cosmetics and wound treatments, said Jonathan Merkle, chief science officer for the egg processing company Michael Foods at the International Egg Nutrition Symposium held in Banff Oct. 4-5. Egg shell membranes can be processed and used for joint health, wound healing and antimicrobial properties. Eggs can also be used to produce vaccines. At the University of Ottawa, researcher Tamer Ahmed is working with egg shell membranes for biomedical applications. Currently, the United States has 150,000 tonnes of eggshell waste per year even though there are many uses for it, he said. “The eggshell membranes possess various structural and bioactive properties that can be utilized for different biomedical applications including wound healing,” he said. Under the microscope, eggshell membranes are made up of crosslinked fibre networks containing a family of proteins. These are stable proteins with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and antimicrobial properties. Hajime Hatta of Japan has worked on immunoglobulin Y, a type of antibody found in birds and egg yolks. A laying hen is immunized to develop customized antibodies in eggs used as a treatment against bacteria and viruses, as well as a food supplement. Using immunoglobulin Y, treatments have been developed to combat Helicobacter pylori in the human gut. “It prevents the bacteria from adhering to the stomach layer,” Hatta said. Japan was facing major outbreaks of this bacteria because of polluted water. The treatment is available in fortified yogurt and there has been a noted decrease in the problem. It is sold in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Hat t a’s l a b o rat o r y ha s a l s o worked on treatments for farmed eels, where disease was harming the industry. Fortified feed dramatically reduced eel deaths. Products have also been developed using this process to treat ulcers, as well as a herpes virus in ornamental koi carp. Other applications using immunoglobulin Y are working on antiacne lotion and gum disease. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

HEADLINES FROM 1991

CWB to send first grain shipment through U.S. terminal FROM THE ARCHIVES

BRUCE DYCK

he 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: Nov. 13, 1941 Saskatchewan Wheat Pool decided to send a 400 to 500 strong deleg a t i o n t o O t t aw a by t ra i n t o demand government action to alleviate the farm income crisis. Petitions would be sent to the “four corners of the province,” which would also go to Ottawa. Agriculture Minister James Gardiner said many farmers weren’t receiving their summerfallow bonus payments on time because 40 percent of the applications contained errors. However, half of the allocated money had been paid, and arrangements had been made to pay 75 percent of what was claimed in applications that contained errors. 50 years ago: Nov. 10, 1966 Bernard Weins of Herschel, Sask., was the first winner of a $300 bursary from the Saskatchewan section of the Canadian Feed Manufacturers’ Association. Weins, who was in his fourth year of agricultural studies at the University of

R.B. Williams of Jeffrey, Alta., took this photo Jan. 3, 1954, after a soft snowfall and strong winds created miles of these naturally formed snowballs. “Never saw anything like it before,” Williams wrote. | FILE PHOTO Saskatchewan, became Saskatchewan’s agriculture minister 25 years later. By then, he was known as Berny Weins. C.M. Williams, a U of S animal sciences professor who became more familiar to Saskatchewan residents as Red Williams, warned the beef industry that it was far behind other industries in “tooling up” for the 20th century. He said the industry needed to drop its “slavish attention” to type and conformation. “Hopefully the industry would then turn its attention to the values that make or break the beef industry, such as fertility, growth rate and freedom from disease,” he said.

25 years ago: Nov. 14, 1991 A cargo of Canadian barley was to be shipped through the port of Seattle in December. It would be the first time in the 56-year history of the Canadian Wheat Board that it had exported prairie grain through a U.S. terminal. Terminal operators in Vancouver weren’t happy. “There’s no question that we have some concerns about it,” said Gar y Dewar, manager of Alberta Wheat Pool’s terminal facilities at the West Coast. Federal Agriculture Minister Bill McKnight ruled out any expansion of the aid package it had just announced for farmers. He was

responding to calls from Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Berny Weins for more money. “There was a suggestion from Saskatchewan that more than $800 million is necessary,” McKnight said. “My reply was that the reason there was $800 million is that is all we had, that is all we could find.” 10 years ago: Nov. 9, 2006 The Saskatchewan Pork Development Board was interested in buying the hog slaughter plant in Saskatoon that Maple Leaf Foods had just announced it would close, but the company appeared to be an unwilling seller. “I’m not sure about that,” said Scott McCain, the head of

Maple Leaf’s hog production and processing, following a long pause after being asked the question at a hog meeting in Manitoba. In the end, the plant was demolished. Badgers came to the rescue of farmers in southwestern Saskatchewan who were being overrun by gophers, but now the natural predators were also causing problems because of their tendency to make huge messes in fields as they dug holes to capture their prey. However, Cameron Wilk of Saskatchewan Agriculture said the badgers would eventually move on to browner pastures. “It’s a mixed blessing,” he said. bruce.dyck@producer.com

LONG EARS, LONG RANGE SUBMIT SASK. HUNTING SAMPLES FOR CWD SURVEY The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation is encouraging hunters to submit deer, elk and moose heads for chronic wasting disease testing this hunting season. CWD affects the nervous system of deer, elk and moose, and while infected animals may appear healthy for more than a year before signs appear, it is a fatal disease for these animals. The federation will offer a draw for six pairs of binoculars to encourage hunters to participate in the testing program by turning in heads to an environment ministry field office. As well, hunters can help slow the spread of CWD by not leaving gut piles on site and properly disposing of carcasses and meat from CWDinfected animals.

ONLINE COURSE HELPS MITIGATE RISK The Canadian Farm Learning Centre and Farm Management Canada have launched a new online module modelled after FMC’s Comprehensive Guide to Managing Risk in Agriculture. The Managing Risk in Agriculture module allows farmers to assess risks facing their farm business and develop plans to mitigate the negative effects of uncertainty. The module includes interactive exercises and practical analysis and planning tools. Farm managers who complete the module will be expected to have a deeper understanding of how risk may affect the overall management decisions of a farm operation. The risk mitigation measures will also better prepare a farmer to operate a safer and more efficient farming operation.

One of the most important decisions a grower can make when it comes to inoculation is strain choice. The more crop specific the strain is, the more efficient it will be. Nodulator® XL inoculant contains Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae strain 1435, a rhizobium that’s specific to peas and lentils only. This highly efficient, nitrogen-fixing strain increases the number of active nodules per plant. That’s why it’s able to deliver 3 to 8%1 more yield compared to competitive inoculants. Now that’s precisely what your peas and lentils need. To find out more, visit agsolutions.ca/nodulatorxl or call AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).

BANFF, Alta. — The future of agriculture and the beef industry may depend on how diverse groups are able to work together and promote sustainable practices around the world. The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef was incorporated in 2013 and consists of producers, farm associations, processors, retailers, non-government organizations, as well as national and regional roundtables. “You are bringing together people who want to work together,” said global roundtable chair Dennis Laycraft of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “We are trying to bring together those who have a vested interest in the future of the industry, whether it is from those who are interested in biodiversity or those interested in resource usage or another group interested in climate change,” he said. Brazil was the first to form a roundtable to deal with issues like deforestation and more efficient beef production. Canada and the United States have followed with membership of about 90 members each. Mexico is also considering forming a similar group. “North America is essentially aligning into roundtables,” he said in an interview at the Global Conference on Sustainable Beef held in Banff Oct. 4-6. It is hoped the global roundtable would eventually have influence at the international level over issues such as greenhouse gas emissions, livestock production and its impact on the environment or human health. “Each country has different growing conditions but the sustainability criteria line up well enough that the information can be used to talk about what we are doing globally,” Laycraft said. Nicole Johnson-Hoffman of Cargill, a member of the U.S. roundtable, said those participating in the initiative must not promise extra money. “We should not make false promises to the producers who are participating in it and have put their businesses on the line in order to participate.” While there is no added direct financial incentive to take part, Jim O’Toole of the Irish Food Board said there are advantages. “By adopting more sustainable practices, there are improvements in efficiency, which can be a financial award rather than a premium from the marketplace,” he said. Each country that has formed a sustainability initiative has common goals tailored to its own style of production, geography, climate and workforce. Canada started in 2013 and has 93

members sitting at its roundtable. Most recently, it released a sustainability framework to show where the beef industry is showing strengths and weaknesses. The next step is to develop a verification system to demonstrate how the industry is continuously improving, said Fawn Jackson, executive director for the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. The United States formed its roundtable last year with about 90 members. “Ultimately, our intention is for the U.S. beef value chain to be the trusted global leader in environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically viable beef,” said Johnson-Hoffman. U.S. roundtable members next want to define and develop indicators of what sustainable beef production looks like. “We will develop sustainability indicators and we will develop a means to verify those indicators and demonstrate to third parties and others that we are progressive in our work,” she said. In Europe, the Farm Sustainability Assessment covers vegetables, fruit, beef, dairy and coffee under the sustainable agriculture initiative platform. Created by Unilever, Danone and Nestle 14 years ago, the platform has a goal by 2020 to implement secure and thriving agricultural supply chains and protect the earth’s resources through widespread adoption of sustainable practices and deliver value to members, farmers and consumers. “That focus has widespread adoption of sustainable practices,” said O’Toole. “The goal of the FSA is to scale sustainable farming practices and the volume of sustainably grown agriculture products. It is important that that goal is about building scale and adoption of practices,” he said. Above all, farmers want standardized, easy-to-follow requirements. “One of the issues farmers have is that different purchasers of their products have different requirements,” he said. Australia does not have a roundt a b l e, b u t i t i s d e v e l o p i n g a sustainability framework. In 2016, the Red Meat Advisory Council, a forum for producers and processors, appointed a sustainability steering group, said rancher Andrew Ogilvie of the Cattle Council of Australia. The newly formed group agrees sustainable beef should cover animal welfare, economic contribution and resilience, environmental stewardship and caring for the community. “Our vision is for continual improvement,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

FOOD WASTE

China to eliminate most open air grain storage in effort to reduce waste BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China will eliminate more than 95 percent of its open-air grain storage by 2020, according to a government document, as it seeks to clamp down on waste and modernize its agriculture sector. China produced 621 million tonnes of grain last year, but by some estimates as much as 100 million tonnes may be stored outdoors, leading to losses that threat-

en the nation’s food security. Beijing wants to “optimize the g ra i n s t o ra g e c a p a c i t y ” a n d “improve the modern grain logistics system and efficiency,” said the 13th five-year plan for the grain industry, published last week on the State Grain Administration’s website. The target is easy to achieve, said Ma Wenfeng, an analyst at Beijing Orient Agri-business Consultant

Co. Ltd., because the volume of grain needing storage is set to fall following this year’s reform of the country’s stockpiling system. “Farmers hopefully will grow less,” said Ma, as prices fall closer to global levels and are no longer set by the government. China added 82.5 million tonnes of grain storage capacity between 2011 and 2015, which was more than 300 percent above govern-

ment targets, because the former stockpiling policy encouraged farmers to plant more grain than was needed, said the document. For the next five years, Beijing will maintain its grain storage capacity at a “reasonable” level, the document said. It also urged state-owned grain enterprises to form large-scale conglomerates and expand overseas. By 2020, it wants to have a “considerable

number” of major grain enterprises among the global leaders. State-owned agriculture trader COFCO has pioneered the push overseas, investing more than $3 billion to buy Noble Group’s agribusiness and recently taking full ownership of Dutch grain trader Nidera. “The government should also encourage private enterprises and apply the same policies to support them,” added Ma.

Harvester handles heavy rocks like they’re small potatoes It’s similar to a potato or beet picker but collects 12-inch diameter rocks BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — From the side, there’s a visual similarity between the preying mantis and the Rock Mantis, the big difference being that the Rock Mantis eats stones instead of bugs. Measuring 52 feet long, the Rock Mantis RP1000 is one serious stone-picking machine. It harvests rocks up to one foot in diameter while cruising across your fields at three m.p.h. At that speed, it can remove 23 cubic yards of rock per hour, working at a depth of two inches. The machine takes in a 20-foot wide swath with the windrow arms fully extended. It lifts to a height of 12 feet when the hopper is full and dumps its load into a waiting tandem or trailer in less than 60 seconds. The Rock Mantis heritage dates back to the early 1950s, according to Niel Somero of Davis Village Solutions in Michigan, which now builds the machine. “In North America, the real guru of rock picking equipment is Harley Fahrenholz from northwest Minnesota,” said Somero. “He built rock pickers way back in the 1950s through the ’70s. Many of the rock picking designs and styles we see today evolved from Harley’s original inventions. “He’s the guy who decided to use a mesh reel or a mesh tube to process rocks and get the dirt off. I don’t think he ever made any two machines the same. He was always making upgrades, coming up with improvements. He originated the Harley Rake attachment for skid steer loaders.” Somero said rock picking is a time-consuming process regard-

With a working speed of three m.p.h. and capacity to pick 23 cubic yards of rock per hour, Rock Mantis makes sure that stones like this quickly find their way to the dump pile. | DAVIS PHOTOS less of what machine is used. Rocks have to be windrowed and then picked up and hauled away. Fahrenholz’s neighbour, Mel Aho, eventually put all of the patented inventions into a single machine with a dump wagon at the back. Starting with a working combine, Aho assembled the twin windrowing rollers, conveyor belts, mesh reel and dump cart into one long rattling machine. Somero said Aho’s machine did what it was intended to do when his

company got involved, but keeping it working was a challenge. DVS couldn’t depend on junkyard parts if it was going to commercialize a bigger picker. Every component had to be new and reproducible on a production line. DVS engineers used the Aho combine as a pattern to design an all new Rock Mantis RP1000 from scratch. “We’d known Mel for years, so we got together with him and worked out something with his patents because he had things to do other

than go into manufacturing,” Somero said. “We went right back to ground zero and started over.” He said the new RP1000 has a John Deere combine cab, which DVS modified for its control system. The 250 horsepower John Deere diesel spins three Bosch Rexroth hydraulic pumps, which power all functions on the picker. The end result goes on a heavyduty chassis designed by DVS with centre-articulated steering.

A rock picker lives a brutally violent life, regardless of the design or who builds it. Components are worked to the limit. As a result, Somero said the first generation went through a number of changes. “Initially, there were a few things that jumped out and bit us right away, and we re-designed those elements,” he said. “Once we worked through those, it’s actually been a pretty robust machine.

The hopper lifts to 12 feet and dumps the load in less than 60 seconds, thus keeping the $US450,000 machine working to earn its keep.

The giant Mantis picks rocks from one inch up to one foot in diameter and typically works down to a depth of at least two inches. For best results, the field should be worked with a chisel plow before the Mantis arrives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course there are wear parts. Anything coming into direct contact with the rocks is designed to be replaceable, some of it in the field. The tubes that bang the rocks into a windrow take the worst beating.

The full working width is 20 feet, but Somero said the operator always allows for overlap, which means the practical width is about 16 feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where the rocks end up wind-

rowed in the centre of the machine, we modified the original Harley design,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a rubber conveyor belt that runs right down into the dirt. As the machine moves forward, the rocks are forced up onto the belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The belt runs them up into the trommel screener. The trommel shakes off all the dirt, and the clean rocks go up the next conveyor into the cart. The screens are changeable in the field, so the operator can adjust the stone size to meet the landownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requests.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the farmer wants to remove everything over one inch, we can install aggregate screens to accommodate that,â&#x20AC;? Somero said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But of course, that means the machine has to work more slowly, so the cost goes up.â&#x20AC;? The operator controls the hydraulic down pressure on the two windrow tubes, which determines the working depth of the bars. Somero recommended running the cylinders about two inches into the soil at about 60 r.p.m. He said the field should first be worked with a chisel plow or shovels to loosen the rocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more effort the farmer puts into field prep, the more rocks we can remove,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can clear more acres per day, and the cost to the farmer goes down. We like to see nice loose soil with lots of rocks brought up to the surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have potential buyers who are clearing bush and turning it into tillable land. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting from scratch, and they want to pick up roots and rocks and debris so they can farm new fields. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried that, and it does work for that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some areas, aggregate for roads and construction and concrete is very expensive, so we have people who simply want to harvest aggregate. Of course, we know it works for that.â&#x20AC;? Somero said the Rock Mantis RP1000 sells for US$450,000. For more information, contact Somero at 906-353-5151. ron.lyseng@producer.com

Rock picking was always a horrible chore BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

As a kid, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much like April weekends. As soon as the fields were dry enough, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take the 45 minute drive out to the Lyseng homestead farm at Hiterdahl, Minnesota, to help Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brothers, Gilman and Grant. Each winter, Mother Nature pushed more rocks to the surface. Each April, every able-bodied person in the clan showed up to pick them. Summer trips were fun. April trips, not so much.

The technology was simple. Two mammoth workhorses clumped along pulling the stone boat as we walked beside it chucking on rocks. Kids got the smaller rocks, older cousins got heavier rocks and adults got the biggest ones. Leather work gloves had not yet been invented. It never occurred to anyone in the 1950s that you might build a really ultra heavy duty potato picker strong enough to handle rocks. Fast forward 50 years and we see that somebody did precisely that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ironic to me that the first really ultra heavy-duty potato picker

strong enough to handle rocks comes from northwestern Minnesota, just 60 kilometres from the Lyseng farm. Northwestern Minnesota is also where the Rock Mantis worked the first years of its life, turning thousands of acres of bad, stony land into fields clean enough for soybeans. My ancestral Norwegian kin would roll over in their graves and stretch their aching backs if they knew the Rock Mantis was working just a few miles up the road. ron.lyseng@producer.com

Better chemistry builds better tire sealant BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — A sales representative for LiquiTube says his product can fix punctures up to three quarters of an inch in heavy ply industrial tires. “The technology has made huge strides because there’s such a huge demand for tire sealants that actually work,” says Mike Davert. “It comes down to chemical engineering. The more building blocks chemists put into the mix, the better sealant we have. And our guys were able to install a lot of chemical building blocks.” He says LiquiTube contains more types of fibres, more types of plastics and it remains in a liquid state. Davert says although it’s a chemical formula, the actual seal is a mechanical one. Chemicals provide the delivery medium for a variety of solid particles that range in size, shape and chemical composition. He emphasizes that it’s the solids big mix that makes the fix. A l t h o u g h L i q u i Tu b e w o n ’ t divulge the exact recipe, it says the solution contains natural fibres, synthetic fibres, adhesion agents and corrosion inhibitors. The important part of the recipe is the agents that keep all these

The United States government safety sheet states that ethylene glycol is the main ingredient. “As the LiquiTube shoots out the hole or slowly leaks out the hole, the solution and particles stick to the rubber. Now, every time the tire rotates, it flexes and the hole flexes, allowing more liquid to be forced into the hole. More particles get trapped in the hole until it’s closed. “It’s like a beaver dam blocking up

a creek. They start with a little bit of mud and branches to slow the flow. Then they keep hauling in more objects and more mud until eventually they’ve blocked the creek.” Davert says the permanent flexibility is the chief difference beween modern tire sealants and older tire sealants that gave the industry a bad name. Older sealants become hard and cracked, but tests have shown that LiquiTube remains flexible for the life of the tire. Davert says the product is not designed for passenger car tires or light duty pickups. The fluid is pumped in through the valve stem, which messes up the sensor on passenger cars. He says it’s designed for heavy trucks — semi-trucks, grain trucks and one-ton pick-up trucks. “It helps wheel balance at highway speed. It coats the entire inner surface of the tire and fills in low spots from the manufacturing process. Those low spots weigh less, so if we fill them in, we bring up their weight and that evens out the weight around the circumference. He says the cost of an inner tube for a specific tire the needs repair will just about equal the cost of LiquiTube for the job. A five-gallon bucket lists for US$279. The pump at $99 is a onetime purchase. Davert says a five-gallon bucket will fix about eight skid-steer tires or all four tires on a small tractor. More precise information is available on the tire application chart on the website. Although it’s water soluble and cleans up with water, it contains enough ethylene glycol to remain active in cold weather. At about -40 C, LiquiTube will start to become slushy. At -50 C, it will freeze solid, but those days are rare, and few people drive in those conditions. Davert says the solution also coats the inner surface of the rim and the bead, virtually eliminating possible leakage points. Although it can be used with inner tubes, he says that would defeat the purpose. He said LiquiTube extends tire life because tires maintain correct air pressure. An under-inflated tire generates heat from excessive flexing, damaging the casing. Underinflation also consumes more fuel. ron.lyseng@producer.com

Fenix rises from ashes with cutting-edge tech Seed Hawk makes major changes to its air seeder metering system with launch of Fenix Three BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LANGBANK, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The engineering was so impressive that it won a prestigious award, but the concept didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live up to expectations in the field. It happens in farm equipment. When it does, makers can pull the product or redesign and test, test, test. In 2015, Seed Hawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new precision metering system won an American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers award. The new air seeder meter system provided single meters to each of two primary runs, powered by 10 watt motors and using friction fit, sealed systems with easily interchangeable meter rollers. It was service friendly and provided fast cleanouts and major rate swaps. Electricity produced by a hydraulically powered, onboard alternator at the front of the air seeder cart fed the banks of meter motors and an advanced monitoring and control system was. However, problems arose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wear in the meters became an issue in a hurry â&#x20AC;Ś and so did motor size,â&#x20AC;? said Greg Blaszczak of Seed Hawk, which is based in Langbank and owned by Swedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VĂ¤derstad. It was important for the company to keep the main concepts of the design that met with the approval of the agricultural engineers that judged the new product and a loyal customer base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needed more testing time and field experience, and that is what the new Fenix Three meter has,â&#x20AC;? Blaszczak said about big changes to the guts of what had been viewed as glorious. The changes included a jump to a much larger 40 watt meter motor and a move away from the twisted flight design of the rollers. That, and stainless steel bearings, were the start of the redesign. Then came a new parallel fluted meter roller with a central divider wall, a seed leveling scraper at the top of the metering housing to ensure consistent loading and avoid seed pinching, and an angled and notched outlet, which all helped to even out the flow of seed. Pulsing of seed has long been an issue in air seeder meters. A break occurs between the emptying of the cups as fluted rollers dump their loads into the air stream. Twisted flight designs can reduce this pulsing of seed in the flow, but they can also cause left and right pulsing in the primary tubes. Seed Hawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divided rollers have the flutes, but they are offset one half a width of each other on each side of a divided roller. Combined with a shaped outlet, this results in an almost continuous flow of metered product. The new meters are made of much tougher materials than the ones that debuted in June 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These were tested at VĂ¤derstadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering lab in Sweden before being put into the field in Saskatchewan for more testing,â&#x20AC;? Blaszczak said. Farmers began running them with winter wheat, and we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

seeing the issues.â&#x20AC;? A new metal liner has been added to the meter housing to avoid wear. The bench testing procedure saw 400 pounds per acre of 25-17 fertilizer blend pushed through the system on a continuous loop, with freshening, for the equivalent of 4,000 acres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no measurable wear,â&#x20AC;? said Blaszczak. The bigger motor runs in a 64:1 gear reduction, ensuring plenty of torque, even for high product loads. The original systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meter power was regulated by a wi-fi wireless feed from an Apple iPad in the tractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cab. The system was developed by North Dakotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Appareo. Producers were finding wi-fi signal drop-out in headlands and during other moments when hydraulic flow was short. Moving the hydraulic flow from the lift cylinder circuit to the shank down pressure lines solved the myster ious w i-fi signal drop because it stabilized the speed of the alternator drive motor. The Appareo monitoring system uses the sound of seed and product to measure rates and plugs. It had a 90 degree bend in the line where the diaphragm receiving the impacts of the product and seed is placed. There were no complaints of plugging, but Seed Hawk opened that angle up slightly to improve the flow to the openers. Some software upgrades have been made, but the metering system and load-cell based measuring of available product remain mostly the same, the company said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of changes and a lot more testing, but despite some issues, our Seed Hawk customers have remained very dedicated to us,â&#x20AC;? Blaszczak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of companies wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have seen this much patience. Farmers believe in our tools.â&#x20AC;? The new system has four meter-

rate roller sets and keeps the place, turn and lock design of motor placing and removal.

Climate plan will have only slight impact on Alberta economy: government report BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Critics of the Alberta government’s climate plan say the low price of oil has already damaged the province’s economy, and adding more costs worsens the outlook. | FILE PHOTO

A slight economic impact has been predicted once Alberta’s new climate change policy comes into effect in January. The plan, which includes the end of coal-fired electricity plants by 2030 and higher levies on carbon emitters, would slow economic growth by .05 percent, according to a government document released Oct. 31. The government has developed a credible climate plan that looks at every aspect of the economy, Shannon Phillips, the minister responsible for the Climate Change Office, told reporters. “There is no no-cost scenario in climate policy,” she said. “You can move forward with costly regulations or perhaps spend billions of dollars on carbon capture or storage or perhaps undertake a cap-and-trade system that would result in a capital transfer out of Alberta or you can do what most economists across the spectrum have indicated is the least cost to the economy, which is to price carbon.” International investors want a

credible climate change plan, and Phillips anticipated $10 billion investment in renewable energy. The economic prospects should further improve if a pipeline is built to move Alberta oil to tidewater, she added. “We are looking at .05 percent off the expected GDP rate of growth, and that does not factor in all the other investments we expect,” she said. The economic model was based partly on Statistics Canada numbers that takes into account currency changes, population changes, exports, imports, inflation and oil prices. The ongoing analysis will change over time as the plan continues to be developed. However, groups are asking for more detailed information and worry that these changes could result in soaring energy bills. The Manning Centre, a conservative think- tank in Calgary, asked for more information about costs to households and small businesses. The government suggested electricity prices could go up by 20 percent between 2021 and 2025 and 10 percent between 2026 and 2030. “Our concern is that the government hasn’t released too much analysis on how their changes are going to impact both consumers and businesses,” said Colin Craig,

director of strategic communication at the centre. He said the policies have been poorly thought out. The low price of oil has already damaged the economy, and adding more costs worsens the outlook. “Government policies have made a bad situation worse because the provincial government doesn’t have a clue about economics so they bring these polices in force and don’t really understand what the ramifications are and obviously the end result is job loss and financial pain for business,” he said. He said the climate plan needs more homework and could come with unintended consequences. One of those is an Alberta cost of production that is not competitive with other jurisdictions. “When you have one jurisdiction that is imposing heavy costs on businesses, then that reduces their ability to compete,” he said. “Not only could some producers in the agriculture sector face stiffer competition from products outside the province that don’t have those government charges, but also it could (hurt) Alberta’s ability to compete when it wants to export its products because the prices here are going to be higher.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Natural gas and electricity costs will increase BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Last year’s climate change conference in Paris was a grand gesture, but the costs of climate change are adding up down on the farm, say some Alberta agriculture organizations. Carbon levies come into effect next year, and groups are asking for more information and research to convince them it is a good idea. “There could have been a lot more work done on impacts before this was announced,” said Karen Kirkwood of Alberta Chicken Producers, which has already done background work on future costs. “Based on the energy utilization that our producers have on their farms, the cost estimate to an average producer would be $6,300 annually over and above. That is just natural gas. That does not include electricity.” An average farm has 27,000 birds and the impact of the carbon levy has been calculated at 1.7 cents per kilogram, which cannot be passed on to the consumer. Many broiler producers use natural gas to heat their barns, and these must be kept at a constant

A $10 million grant for farmers to initiate more energy efficiency may not be enough because the money will run out if the program is well used. “We are already as efficient as we can be,” Kirkwood said.

NEWS » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “The announcement of the additional funding is certainly nice, but it is going to quickly deplete as producers start to apply for these programs.” Specialized sectors such as the hatching egg sector are also monitoring the changes. The combined cost of utilities such as propane, natural gas and electricity could result in about $12,000 in added costs for average farm, said Alberta Hatching Egg Producers general manager Bob Smook.

This sector produces chicks for the broiler industry, and added costs will be passed on to customers. Producers could go elsewhere if day-old chicks become too expensive, he said. Purple gas used by farmers is exempt from the levy, but many of these operations rely on independent transporters. “In our industries, our producers don’t haul their own birds,” he said. “We use commercial people, and with the commercial people they are not exempt in terms of the fuel tax.” Industries are talking to govern-

ment and looking for an amiable solution. Some want a third party independent study into projected costs. “We have a proposal that we are evaluating to take a deeper dive on this,” said Bryan Walton of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association. Cattle producers estimate it could cost $6 to $7 per head, but more clarification is needed, he said. “This is all just part of a cumulative effect of costs that we are going to bear and that is going to ripple back up through the supply chain,” he said. Hog producers have the same concerns and feel the situation is

worsening as they struggle through low prices and infrastructure costs. Aging barns need to be renovated or replaced, but producers are struggling and cannot afford more costs, said Darcy Fitzgerald, executive director of Alberta Pork. An extra $4,600 on utility bills may be too much for some to bear. An energy audit was done several years ago and producers did what they could with new lighting, improved insulation and ventilation. The government has estimated it will collect about $10 billion from the levies. Alberta Beef Producers

says that money should come back to the industry. “The carbon levy costs money, and it is foolish to pretend anything else,” said Rich Smith of ABP The group released a paper asking the government to recognize the contribution of the beef industry to the economy and the environment. Grasslands are a recognized carbon sink so producers should be paid to maintain rangelands and prevent carbon emissions that occur when land is broken up. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The organization has not calculated added costs such as transportation. The dairy sector spends $24 million on trucking, so there will be an added expense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The milk has to be transported from all of our farms to all the plants. That happens on a daily basis,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Costs for the processing sector have not yet been figured out. A letter from Alberta Milk has been sent to Agriculture Minister Oneil Carlier and Shannon Phillips, minister responsible for climate change, but there has been no response. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

QUICK FACTS The Alberta carbon levy is expected to raise $9.6 billion over the next five years. The funds are earmarked as follows: â&#x20AC;˘ $6.2 billion to diversify the energy industry and job creation â&#x20AC;˘ $3.4 billion for large-scale renewable energy, bioenergy and technology â&#x20AC;˘ $2.2 billion for green infrastructure like transit

COSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE Âť CONTINUED FROM PAGE 65 Payment for ecosystem services is a benefit to society, and programs could support producers who maintain the land to protect habitat and watersheds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look to agriculture for major changes in environmental impacts because we have been improving quite steadily and our sustainability assessment showed that,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

The recent Canadian roundtable on sustainable beef showed the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenhouse gas emissions have declined as it becomes more efficient. Talks have been ongoing with government because beef producers fear the loss of competitiveness in an export dependent sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our cattle feeders have costs due to the carbon levy that Nebraska producers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our processing plants have costs

that their American counterparts do not.â&#x20AC;? Smith is also dubious about renewable energy investment and how much it might cost taxpayers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How much money is the government going to have for subsidies and how heavily is it going to subsidize?â&#x20AC;? he said. The dairy sector has calculated $2.2 million in direct costs at the farm level for natural gas and electricity. There are 530 farms, so the average is $4,300, said Mike Slomp of Alberta Milk.

â&#x20AC;˘ $645 million for Energy Efficiency Alberta, a new provincial agency to support energy efficiency programs and services for homes and businesses â&#x20AC;˘ $3.4 billion in rebates for households, businesses and communities adjusting to the carbon levy â&#x20AC;˘ $865 million to pay for a cut in the small business tax rate from three to two percent as of Jan. 1, 2017 â&#x20AC;˘ $195 million to assist coal communities, Indigenous communities and others with adjustment

Further details will be available after industry consultations. The new framework is designed to reduce the amount of carbon pollution in every barrel of oil. Under SGER, facilities that emit 100,000 tonnes or more of greenhouse gas emissions are required to annually reduce their site-specific emissions intensity by 15 percent and another 20 percent as of Jan 1, 2017. Facilities can comply by: â&#x20AC;˘ improving emission reductions â&#x20AC;˘ using emission performance credits generated at facilities that achieve more than the required reductions

Exemptions include: â&#x20AC;˘ the use of heating fuel on sites subject to the Specified Gas Emitters Regulations (SGER)/ performance standards regime

Producers lock horns over checkoffs Refundable or non-refundable? Cattle producers are split on how to fund Alberta groups through levies BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta’s refundable checkoff for beef cattle remains a bone of cont e n t i o n f o r p ro d u c e r s, e v e n though it has now been in place for six years. Attendees at the Zone 1 and 2 Alberta Beef Producers meetings discussed it at some length, but opinions continue to conflict. However, ABP has already asked the government to pass legislation allowing non-refundable checkoffs. Producers at an Oct. 27 meeting in Brooks passed a resolution to withhold any increase to the national portion of the checkoff until the provincial portion, which ABP refers to as a service charge, is made non-refundable. Alberta producers pay $3 per head, and $2 of that is refundable. The other $1 goes to national market and research initiatives and is non-refundable. The national portion is scheduled to rise to $2.50 next year. “We’ve got to get a non-refundable checkoff on that $2 or we’re going to lose our own provincial organization, and that provincial organization doesn’t just represent us here in our province, it’s how we fund CCA (Canadian Cattlemen’s Association),” said Mark Francis of Taber. “So it’s not that I’m against the $1.50 increase. What I’m saying is before we agree to that increase, we’ve got to get back to a nonrefundable checkoff in Alberta.” Francis said he feared the national levy increase combined with a Lethbridge County per-head tax of $3, which affects most southern Alberta feedlots, will encourage feedlots to ask for refunds on the refundable part of the checkoff. That could jeopardize ABP’s finances. As the largest dollar contributor to the CCA, reductions in Alberta’s financial contribution could jeopardize the national cattle group and its marketing and research initiatives. At the Nov. 2 ABP meeting in Picture Butte, four feedlot owners spoke in support of the existing refundable checkoff and were critical of ABP’s efforts to return to a non-refundable levy. “I’m in strong disagreement (to a mandatory checkoff ),” said Rick Paskal. “It seems to me you have a fair amount of dollars right now.” Not everybody who requests a refund on Alberta’s portion asks for the entire amount to be returned, said Glen Thompson, adding he was “100 percent opposed” to a non-refundable checkoff.

requests for a refund of the service charge, which amounted to $2.3 million. That is about 34 percent of the total service charge revenue collected.

ABP chair Bob Lowe said most of the refund requests come from cow-calf producers, but feedlot owners receive the bulk of the money refunded by the ABP.

Producers at both the Brooks and Picture Butte meetings were critical of provinces that claw back the national checkoff for use on their own projects. The national portion

is non-refundable, but each province can allocate the national dollars where it sees fit. Quebec claws back about 97 percent of its national levy and Ontario also claws back part of it, which it uses primarily to promote Ontario corn-fed beef. It means less money is allocated to Canada Beef for marketing and promotion and to the Beef Ca t t l e R e s e a rc h C o u n c i l f o r research. Feedlot owner Ryan Kasko of Picture Butte noted the Alberta issue involving feedlot owners who ask for refunds on their service fees. His resolution that ABP and the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association “build a single and mutually agreeable modern governance funding model” was passed. Kasko said such a model could funnel the refunded service charge funds directly to projects both groups support. barb.glen@producer.com

CATTLE PRICES

Packers turn to make profit; producers urged to follow market Analyst says cow-calf producers should take advantage of price bounces BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

WHITEWOOD, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Everybody in the cattle sector has had a turn at good prices now that packers are enjoying strong margins, said a cattle market analyst. But that will likely do little to ease producer feelings, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (producers) have taken the brunt of this market correction,â&#x20AC;? said Canfax analyst Brian Perillat after addressing the Saskatchewan Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association district meeting here Oct. 26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After enjoying big profits, and expecting reasonable profits, to suddenly potentially be losing a little bit of money, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty hard to swallow.â&#x20AC;? Packers are slaughtering large numbers compared to recent years, he said. A year ago, the two largest plants were operating at 70 to 75 percent of capacity and the industry was concerned that one or both wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive. Now, slaughter is at a five-year high, plants are running at their 63,000-head weekly capacity and another plant could be coming on stream at Balzac, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are seeing the demand for fed cattle pick up,â&#x20AC;? Perillat said.

Fed prices went up a bit in October and if the Canadian dollar continues to show weakness, that could be positive for calf prices. Calves were up five to 10 cents a pound leading up to the meeting. But Perillat said bigger improvement is needed. The feedlot sector that did so well during the run of exceptional prices has been hurting for the last year with losses of at least $600 per head.

Slaughter is at a five-year high and packers are running at capacity â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the money they made through the run, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost it all,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this correction in calf prices, feedlots are starting to be able to buy cattle that have much lower break-evens, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still sort of gambling. The marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointed lower than some of these break-events, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking a bit of a chance, but not nearly the risk they were facing a year ago, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to realign.â&#x20AC;? Asked if packers were worried about supply after the closure of Western Feedlots, Perillat said

#1 MAINSTREAM BRAND by

there seems to be enough other capacity. And, after the closure, some feedlots began importing calves from the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the exact opposite of what we thought would happen.â&#x20AC;? Perillat said that indicates the Canadian industry is competitive enough to import, due to the feed cost advantage and current basis levels. Basis is even to the U.S. now and that supports prices. He said feedlots are trying to manage their margins and if American calves are cheaper, they will bring them in. Meanwhile, cow-calf producers are disappointed that prices have dropped so much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think $3.30 was sustainable but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d drop in half this fast,â&#x20AC;? Perillat said. He describes recent price increases as bounces, rather than trends, and said the markets are so volatile that producers need to watch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this kind of market, take that,â&#x20AC;? he said of a 20-cent price climb, for example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight it. Maybe $1.60 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good but $1.75 is a good sell opportunity.â&#x20AC;? karen.briere@producer.com

Canadian meat plants use various treatments to remove bacteria that have yet to be approved. | FILE PHOTO EUROPEAN TRADE

More work needed on pork, beef access despite CETA deal Food safety continues to be sticking point BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A free trade agreement with the European Union is far from being a done deal for Canadian beef and pork producers. Canadian food safety practices are yet to be approved and until that happens, there will be no exports under the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. Canadian meat plants use various treatments to remove bacteria and other pathogens from carcasses. That includes washes with citric acid and peroxyacetic acid, a product similar to vinegar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We produce a product that we think is actually at a higher level of food safety than what they are using in Europe, but because we use antimicrobials, which they have not approved over there, the product doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify to go to Europe,â&#x20AC;? said Ron Davidson of the Canadian Meat Council. The council is putting together submissions on the efficacy of these products but it lacks enough peer-reviewed, independent research to satisfy the Europeans. Once that research is pulled together, there is still no guarantee that it would be accepted, said John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association T h e Eu ro p e a n Fo o d S a f e t y Authority has to evaluate the efficacy of these products. â&#x20AC;&#x153; These are things that are approved for certain food uses in Europe but are not yet approved as an antimicrobial treatment in meat production. We need to get those approvals,â&#x20AC;? Masswohl said. Once EFSA reviews the technical information, it recommends the approval of the products to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (PAFF). However, in the meantime, large federally inspected plants in Canada are not going to stop using these methods to fill a small European market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone of these interventions gives you a higher level of assurance that there are no pathogens there. The complication is that we are not going to be exporting a whole carcass to Europe,â&#x20AC;? Davidson said.

If a carcass is treated to European standards, only a small portion of it may get exported. The other meat cuts might not be accepted in Japan or the United States. On the pork side, there is also a dispute over applying health marks to pork destined for Europe. Canada has asked that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency health mark qualify as sufficient. This has been under discussion for months, Davidson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am hopeful that we can resolve the health mark labelling because there is not a reason you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resolve it. The antimicrobial one, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as much hope that we can be ready for a 2017 implementation.â&#x20AC;? Another issue involves imported veal. Europeans are allowed to treat veal calves with 83 different medications including some Category One antimicrobials. This is not allowed in Canada and producers here feel they are at a disadvantage. Health Canada has indicated they may approve some of these products, but will not allow Category One antimicrobials to be used in veal calf production. The cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s association continues to push for a quicker resolution because it says CETA has a lot of potential for increased trade for both sides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to make sure advocacy work is being done to make sure once these applications arrive at EFSA that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just sit at the bottom of the pile. We want recognition that this is a high priority for these trade agreements moving forward,â&#x20AC;? said Masswohl. Politics are always looming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is somebody who just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want our beef or pork coming into the European market (they may) play mischief at the political level. We are not at that stage yet,â&#x20AC;? he said. CCA has been meeting with European meat industry counterparts and farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; associations to make them understand the two way benefits of this agreement. Europe has become a major net exporter of agriculture products with interest in doing business in Canada and the United States. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Canada needs more bison producers, says group president Producers say there are many advantages to raising these bison, but the industry needs new entrants to meet demand BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — Prices are high, feed is cheap and management costs are low for bison. So what does it take to get more people interested in raising the animals? Producers at the Oct. 22 Peace Region bison meeting were encouraged to promote their industry to others and grow their animals to a larger carcass size to increase the amount of meat available to consumers. Bison Producers of Alberta president Roger Van Haren said misconceptions about production might be one factor that discourages new entrants. “Some people think you need an elephant fence. You don’t need an elephant fence. You need a bison fence, which is just five strands of barbed wire. A five- or six-foot page-wire fence is fine, and a decent handling system.” Cost of land in Alberta is another factor, he said, but renting land previously used for bison or elk is a possibility. Bison don’t require high quality feed, and in any case feed may be cheap and plentiful this year because of poor harvest weather in many regions. Van Haren said federal slaughter levels for bison are down this year

Seeking healthier pigs

Fewer Sask. producers take price insurance

EDMONTON — Pork producers often find disease control is one of their largest costs of production, yet it is also one of the most difficult issues to manage. Breeding more resilient pigs capable of handling various infections could be a tremendous saving to the swine industry and reduce the need for extensive antibiotic use, said Irene Wenger, a project manager with Genome Canada. A four-year research project on disease resilience is underway and involves Genome Canada, swine breeding companies and six research institutes. Resilience is a combination of resistance and tolerance to disease where the animal has the ability to remain productive despite being sick. The research involved exposing young barrows from high health facilities to various diseases in a barn to see how the animals fared. About 1,000 pigs have gone through the program with ongoing growth performance and health status monitoring. Some of the pigs get very sick while others remain healthy or experience only minor illnesses. “There were pigs that were introduced to disease mixture in the barn and if they did get sick, they kept growing better than expected,” said Wenger. “Those are the pigs we are most interested in learning more about,” she said at Livestock Gentec annual meeting held in Edmonton Oct. 18-19.

WHITEWOOD, Sask. — Fewer Saskatchewan producers bought livestock price insurance this year, but those who did are likely receiving payments. Dale Ulmer with Sask. Crop Insurance Corp. told the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association district meeting that 2,464 producers enrolled in 2016, representing about 96,000 calves or 12 percent of the calf crop. That compares to about 15 percent of the calves in each of the last two years the pilot project has been running. “Seven weeks into the claim period, we’ve paid out to the majority of the policies that were purchased this year,” he said. The average payment is $100 per head. In the feeder program, only about 700 head were covered. Ulmer said the program is still a pilot but seems to be working. “Since the inception of the program we’ve paid out nearly $7 million on calf policies, $617,000 on feeders and just less than $100,000 on the fed program,” he said. Producers at the meeting offered advice to program administrators, such as being able to make claims on a smart phone. Claims have to be made in the afternoon on specific days, but many said they aren’t near their computers then and would appreciate having a mobile phone option.

31, and exports to the United States are also down about 10 percent compared to last year, Canada wide.

In a presentation to Peace region producers, he said the long-term success of Alberta’s bison industry

depends in part on attracting new entrants. Also on his list is: • supporting trade deals • supporting local and national markets • feed animals to heavier carcass weights • market higher end cuts • cull mature animals that are no longer productive • lobby to ensure bison continue to be classified as livestock rather than wildlife Canadian Bison Association executive director Terry Kremeniuk said bison herds can’t be established as easily as cattle herds but profit is always the key to encouraging new entrants and higher production. “There’s a need to attract further investment, a need for new e nt ra nt s, a n d o f c o u r s e n e w entrants and the investment is driven by sustained profitability. And as long as the industry can maintain the marketing strategies and maintain the strong demand, that sustained profitability will be there.” Kremeniuk also noted the need for better price discovery for bison, which would provide better market signals to current and new industry entrants alike. Fewer than 4,000 bison are sold at auction markets each year. barb.glen@producer.com

PREGNANCY CHECKS

Making the most of a pass through the squeeze chute ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

attle producers can save themselves significant time, labour and money through proper planning and consultations with veterinarians before undertaking major processing. Some of the following points might fit easily to current management practices, while others may become obvious once processing starts and can be installed then. For others, it might make sense to make notes to include them into next year’s plans. Consider these points when fall pregnancy checking, which I am surprised that 40 percent of producers still do not do. This year, one farm I visited decided to use a veterinarian for pregnancy checks and to help with other things. The veterinarian suggested that because this herd had always been vaccinated with a modified live vaccine for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) just before breeding, the animals would have very good immunity. With the cows well into their third trimester of pregnancy, that vaccine, which has fetal protection, could be added during pregnancy checking stage, saving producers from having to r un the cows through before breeding, when it is difficult to separate calves. This decision must be made only with the advice of a herd veterinarian because they must be satisfied

with the previous protection from BVD and IBR. The suggestion would also save the costs of vaccinating open cows and they could be shipped directly. Resistance to Avermectins (pouron endectocides) was found on this herd so deworming with a different oral product and a hook feeder, fenbendazole, was also given. Deworming and lice treatments should also be discussed with your veterinarian. Producers should always be sure to have a supply of Canadian Cattle Identification Agency tags ready for cull cows so they can be tagged right then if necessary. Record the dangle tag, and if possible, sort culls then as well. Producers should have the quick ability to sort at least two ways out of the chute. It doesn’t take much to install portable panels to make this happen. I never like the statement “we can do that later” because often later never happens or a person is too busy with other things. Producers who have had trouble reading tags because of hair or dirt covering the number should have a cleaning solution and a good pair of scissors on hand. None of these changes slowed the procedure and brought added benefits of labour savings and fewer mistakes later at calving. A few cows were missing tags and because they were purebreds, the tattoos were read and tags were added. Producers in hurry could sort these and retag them at the end of the day. Producers calving on large ranges will likely find a set of pocketsize binoculars useful in reading tag numbers. On this processing day, we had an unexpected twist. A few cows appeared overly thin, so during the

pregnancy checks the veterinarian also condition scored them. The decision was made to remove heifers and cows that scored only a two rating. This allowed the producer to increase the condition score of these thinner animals before calving and minimized competition in the main herd — a win-win situation. This could be accomplished by sorting out of the chute. A few other fringe benefits were also seen. A few sets of twins were identified, which the producer could keep an extra watch on during calving. They ended up in the thin group, which is not surprising because they are internally feeding two fetuses. After examining the lists later, it became apparent that a high percentage of the first-time calvers were placed into the thin group, which is not surprising. But the older cows were an eye-opener. More than half of the cows older than 10 made it into the thin group. This showed that both the younger and older cows had a hard time competing. The sorting was done early enough from the start of calving to improve the conditioning of the cows that needed it. Good quality colostrum will be produced and the cows now on a rising plane of nutrition should develop good protection to the vaccines. Many chute-side computer programs are based on the individual RFID tag number. This can be used to quickly input data that will provide the producer with past information to help with culling. This pregnancy checking example can reduce additional processing steps by doing as much as possible with one pass through the chute.

Ground meat demand keeps bison prices strong BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — Prices for Canadian bison remain strong, in part because there are fewer animals available than in past years. The Canadian dollar value relative to the American greenback doesn’t hurt either, bison producers were told Oct. 22 at the Peace Region conference here. Bison Producers of Alberta president Roger Van Haren said producers are responding to market signals. “We will hopefully see a slow increase to the supply but … marketers are telling us they could sell 20 percent more product tomorrow,” he said. “They’re shorting many customers. It’s an issue. There’s just not enough right now out there. “The herd size overall has probably come down a bit and now you’re seeing more people holding back heifers, trying to grow the herd, but it’s a very slow process. They calve not when they’re two (years old), but when they’re three, and that animal isn’t ready for another two years, so it’s a five-year process to bring more animals to the market.” Canadian Bison Association executive director Terry Kremeniuk said there are about 150,000 bison in Canada. That’s up from about 50,000 in 1996 but lower than the industry high of about 220,000 in 2007. At that time, many Canadian animals were being shipped to the United States for slaughter. That amount stabilized in 2011-14 but Kremeniuk anticipates a change. “I expect this year, 2016, you’re going to see a decrease in terms of federal slaughter and you’re also going to see a decrease in terms of state and provincial slaughter and that’s because animals are not available.” He said recent export numbers

indicate producers are retaining a few more heifers, though it is not a dramatic increase. Results of the 2016 census are due in April or May, but Kremeniuk said bison numbers might not tell an accurate tale of a slight herd increase because many producers don’t count the calf crop in the totals they report. Producers at the meeting heard that prices for cull animals are near historic highs due to demand for trim. “The ground bison is driving it right now,” Van Haren said. “That’s what the older animals are used for, is bison burgers. The United States is a huge driver for paying for that right now. We’re seeing just a lot of demand. “It’s a great way to start getting into the market. Right now you’re seeing ground price at $10, $11, $12 US per pound. Come back to Canada, in the stores it’s going be $15, $16 per lb., which is kind of crazy seeing as beef is now $3, $4 per lb. So it’s quite a difference.” He said the price difference between ground bison and the higher-end cuts does not reflect the difference in quality. Ground bison is about $10 per lb. and tenderloin about $30 per lb. Van Haren thinks the higher quality cuts should be four or five times the price of ground. “We need to look at all cuts of the animal and encourage people to try the higher-end cuts and different cuts so we can have kind of a true value of the whole animal and not just a crazy trim market.” However, Van Haren said it’s a good time to cull older animals because of high prices available. Producers can also use cheap feed to increase carcass size before marketing, which is the easiest way to increase meat supply. Kremeniuk said he thinks prices for bison could rise further, based on current market signals. barb.glen@producer.com

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Carved memorial honours veterans The Soldier Tree was dedicated in Estevan, Sask., to veterans of war BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

This carved tree can be seen beside the courthouse in Estevan, Sask. | CHRISTALEE FROESE PHOTO

ESTEVAN, Sask. — What started out as a small request from one oil patch worker to another has turned into a $60,000 memorial project that has captured the imaginations of veterans and the public alike. Estevan oilfield worker Lester Hinzman grew up hearing Second World War stories from his father, who landed in Nor mandy on D-Day and was fortunate enough to return home to tell the tales. Hinzman was dropping off pipe at an oil rig in 2015 when he observed the impressive chainsaw work of Alberta directional driller Darren Jones. Hinzman told Jones about a 102-year-old cottonwood near the family farm and the idea he’d always had to have two soldiers carved into it. The rest is history, as Jones got to work on the 5.5-metre diameter tree, bringing to life two soldiers in a matter of four days. Hinzman then recruited retired Estevan soldier Robert Rooks to offer his military history expertise and farm neighbour Lane Hanson to help with funds. With $4,000 committed by the men individually, work on the tree continued. The group quickly realized the Estevan Legion needed to be

involved. One meeting later and Legion members Jim “Frosty” Forrest and former military police officer Geoff Thiessen joined the ranks in charge of fundraising. Thiessen said funds started to flow with little effort once the general public started hearing about the project and driving out to see the carvings coming to life in the tree. “As we were fundraising, people would come up and share their stories of fathers or grandfathers or uncles who had served,” said Thiessen. “One day we were walking around on a business blitz and someone just came up and gave us a $100 bill and said, ‘we’ve been waiting for you guys.’ ” Within six months, the carving of one soldier helping another, an airman and his Spitfire plane, a female air force sergeant, a soldier resting on arms reversed and a sailor on the high seas began to take shape on the tree trunk and skywardreaching spires of the massive cottonwood. Added to that was the Queen’s Colour of the South Saskatchewan Regiment, sprays of poppies, a combat helmet on a cross and poetry by Hinzman.

It was then that the group, including committee member Marie Donais-Calder, realized that the astounding tree, now called the Soldier Tree, needed to occupy a place of prominence in Estevan. The community came together again, ensuring that cranes were available, concrete was supplied and trucks were used to safely transfer the completed 7,600-pound tree to its new home beside Estevan’s court house. On Sept. 10, a formal dedication ceremony for the tree was held in Estevan. By this time, the project had garnered so much attention that military personnel, a pipe band, cadets, a Guard of Honor from the 3rd Batta lion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, army vehicles and two flying Second World War planes — a Spitfire and a Harvard — were part of the dedication event. Rook said the project took on a life of its own as it progressed because of its significance to so many. “Everyone knows somebody who has served or is connected to someone with a military past in some way,” he said. “The tree gives people a place to reflect about that.”

Will the U.S. kill the TPP?

Without presidential support, it’s pretty difficult to see how the TPP can gain any traction after the U.S. election. LAWRENCE HERMAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAWYER

“I think that was the case with the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) back in the 1990s.” It was merely weeks ago that observers were pronouncing the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement dead, but the Canada-European trade deal was signed into law Oct. 30. “When it comes to trade deals, it’s really not finished until it’s finished,” said Citeau. CAFTA estimates the TPP could increase Canadian canola, pork, beef and barley exports by $1.5 billion a year by reducing tariffs. TPP countries account for 65 percent of Canada’s agri-food exports.

The deal would also limit countries’ ability to erect non-tariff trade barriers, which in some cases are more trade-restricting than tariffs. CAFTA is urging the federal government to ratify the TPP and encourage other countries to follow suit. Herman said the deal will be dead if the U.S. bows out. It requires ratification by at least six countries representing at least 85 percent of the total gross domestic product of the original 12 signatories. That means the TPP cannot come into force if either the U.S. or Japan fails to ratify the agreement within two years of signing it because together they represent slightly less than 80 percent of the GDP of the signatories. Robert Zoellick, former U.S. trade representative under former president George Bush, agreed with Herman that the TPP faces an uphill battle in the U.S. “Democratic support for trade in Congress has withered over the years and now more Republicans in Congress are hesitating, too,” he said in a recent opinion piece for the Harvard Business Review. He said president Barack Obama could have had the deal ratified if he hadn’t dropped the ball. Congress gave the president the trade promotion authority required for TPP approval in 2015. “The supporters would have

been able to pass TPP that year,” Zoellick said. “If the president had acted a year earlier, the U.S. would have enacted the Trans-Pacific Partnership.” The one lingering hope for the deal is during the lame duck session when Congress meets after the election but before the new president is sworn in. However, Zoellick said Republican leaders probably no longer have the votes required to pass the TPP with an up or down vote in Congress. “Passage of the TPP during the lame duck session is a long shot,” he said. Herman said the demise of the TPP would be a serious blow for Canada’s agricultural exporters, but all would not be lost. Canada could reactivate bilateral trade agreement talks with Japan, which is the real prize in the TPP agreement. Australia already has a free trade deal with Japan, and the European Union is working on one. Citeau said the TPP is CAFTA’s top priority but acknowledged there needs to be a Plan B if TPP fails. She doesn’t want Canada to fall behind other nations, because that happened with a delyed agreement with South Korea. Canada lost half of a $1 billion agricultural export market virtually overnight. sean.pratt@producer.com

Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement caught in the crosshairs of the American election

There is one important issue where it doesn’t matter whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump won this week’s U.S. presidential election. Both candidates were dead set against passing the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, and that spells the end to the world’s biggest free trade deal, says an international trade lawyer. “Even if other countries started to ratify it, without the U.S. it’s dead in the water,” said Lawrence Herman, counsel with Herman & Associates. The U.S. presidential election took place after The Western Producer’s production deadline. Trump has been vociferous in his opposition to the TPP. Clinton was initially in favour of the deal, calling it the “gold standard” of trade deals when she was secretary of state. She now says the deal does not meet her standards and is opposed to it. “Without presidential support, it’s pretty difficult to see how the TPP can gain any traction after the U.S. election,” said Herman. Even if the pact somehow miraculously received approval from the White House, it is unlikely it would have the support it needs in Congress, he said. “The political opinion on open markets in the U.S. has changed. It

certainly has changed in the U.S. Congress,” said Herman. “Political winds have shifted.” Claire Citeau, executive director of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, remains optimistic that the TPP agreement will come to fruition. “It’s not the first time that a trade deal has been caught in election rhetoric,” she said.

Turning 71 in 2016: what does it mean for your registered retirement savings plan?

Maple Leaf profits jump

MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

inancial institutions dominate newspaper and television advertising every January and February as they explain how you can minimize your taxes by contributing to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. Rarely communicated is that the government eventually expects the taxes that were deferred to be paid back. For most Canadians, that occurs by Dec. 31 of the year they turn 71, when they must terminate their RRSP. It is also the last day that they can contribute to their RRSP. Many in the Canadian farm community are approaching this age, and we advise that you begin to plan early for managing the wind-up of your RRSP with the assistance of a tax or financial adviser. In the year you turn 71, you must choose one or a combination of the following options for your RRSPs:

• Withdraw the funds. • Transfer them to a Registered Retirement Income Fund, which is an investment vehicle that may contain mutual funds, guaranteed investment certificates or other financial instruments. It regularly pays out to provide you with the income you have determined you need. Earnings in a RRIF are tax-free, but the amounts paid out are taxable on receipt. • Use them to buy an annuity. You buy an annuity from a financial institution, and it guarantees to pay you an income for life or for the period specified in the annuity contract. Similar to a defined benefit pension, annuities provide an income that is secure from both market and interest rate risks. If you do not make arrangements to take the RRIF or annuity routes, the government will assume you have withdrawn the funds all at once and tax them as if they were income taken in 2016. Your RRSP issuer will automatically withhold the appropriate amount of taxes, which could be financially painful. Many people decide to transfer the money in their RRSP into a RRIF. Generally, you pay taxes on the income you start receiving from the RRIF. Because RRIFs pay out

income to you on a prescribed annual percentage of the fund, the tax rate should be lower than if you had withdrawn the funds all at once. RRIF accounts can be set up through a financial institution such as a bank, credit union, trust or insurance company. You can have more than one RRIF and can also have self-directed RRIFs. The rules that apply to self-directed RRIFs are generally the same as those for RRSPs. Once the RRIF is established, no more contributions can be made to the plan and the plan can’t be ter minated except through death. Buying an annuity is another option. It is a long-term investment that is issued by a financial institution and designed to help protect the buyer from the risk of outliving their income. Through annuitizing, your RRSP transfer is converted into periodic payments that can last for life. There are numerous forms of annuities: immediate, variable or fixed. Some popular annuities are: • A life annuity provides regular periodic payments for life, depending on your (and perhaps your spouse’s) age and gender, and current interest rates. • A life income fund (LIF) allows control over investments in the

account and is subject to minimum and maximum annual withdrawals. • A locked-in retirement income fund (LRIF) also allows control over investments in the account and is subject to minimum and maximum annual withdrawals. Federal or provincial pension legislation defines the minimum age at which a locked-in retirement account (LIRA) can be transferred to a life annuity, LIF or LRIF.

(Reuters) —Maple Leaf Foods Inc. has reported a 70.4 percent jump in quarterly profit as lower costs and higher prices boosted earnings. Maple Leaf said adjusted operating earnings in its meat products unit more than doubled to $65.93 million in the third quarter ended Sept. 30. The company’s net earnings rose to $31.83 million from $18.68 million a year earlier. Maple Leaf recently completed a program started in 2010 to boost earnings by shutting some plants and modernizing others. In a conference call with analysts, president Michael McCain emphasized the company’s commitment to what he called “sustainable meat.” “We are increasingly excited about sustainable meat as a core growth platform for Maple Leaf, and you will be hearing lots more about this as we ramp up our differentiation and our growth in this expanding market,” he said Maple Leaf is the leading provider of pork raised without antibiotics in North America, he added, and is the leader antibiotic-free chicken in Canada. “(A) significant and growing segment of consumers is looking for better meat from animals raised with care, continuous reductions in environmental impact with more nutrition and health benefits, and from companies that demonstrate a greater, societal conscious,” he said.
