Wheat midge tolerant gene at risk Soft white wheat growers asked to blend AC Sadash with AC Andrew BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A gene that has been found in the wrong place could potentially be putting part of the prairie wheat sector at risk. SeCan, a farmer-owned seed distribution company, has learned that soft white wheat varieties in Western Canada, in particular AC Sadash, inadvertently contain a gene known as Sm1. Sm1 is the wheat gene that confers tolerance to the orange blossom wheat midge. To protect the efficacy of the gene, all wheat varieties that contain the trait are blended with a refuge variety that is susceptible to midge damage.

OVER-WINTERED CROPS

Growers in many parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan are anxious to harvest crops left in the field last fall BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Hard-luck farmers across Western Canada are gearing up for an encore performance in a two-act play that nobody wanted to see. Approximately 2.3 to 2.4 million acres of farmland went unharvested last fall, including an estimated 1.3 million acres in Saskatchewan

and roughly a million more in Alberta. Last week, grain growers who would normally be tuning up seeding units were firing up their combines, hooking up to grain carts and getting ready to pick up where they left off late last year. “Harvest has, umm, I guess started, you could say, in a few areas of the province,” said Shannon Fries-

en, a provincial crop specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture. “Certainly in parts of (southern Saskatchewan) and even the westcentral, producers are either getting in the fields or are hoping to get in there in the next week or two.” As of April 6, spring harvest operations were “just getting under way,” Friesen said.

Combines started rolling in some parts of the province last week but progress was slow, delayed by wet field conditions and tough grain. In some cases, growers will choose between harvesting tough, low-quality feed grain and drying it or leaving their crops to dry naturally.

FARMLAND OWNERSHIP

Who owns what in Sask.? Study shows investors paid premiums of up to 50 percent, supporting concerns about land speculation BY KAREN BRIERE

A study of Saskatchewan farmland purchases has found that investors have indeed driven up land prices, but others are also willing to pay more than assessed value. Farmland values rose quickly from 2006-15, authors Andre Magnan and Annette Aurelie Desmarais say in a paper published by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. For example, they rose 2.1 percent in 2006, the lowest rate in the period, and 28.5 percent in 2013, the highest rate, according to Farm Credit Canada. The 10-year average was 13.98 percent. The study notes that non-farm investors became more active in the market after legislative changes made by the then-NDP government in 2003 that relaxed the 10-acre restriction on land holdings to Canadian residents and companies. Investment took off in 2007 and concerns over rising land prices and ownership came to a head after the sale in 2014 of 115,000 acres from Assiniboia Capital Corp. to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. The resulting controversy and consultation led to amendments in 2015 to prevent pension plans and large trusts from buying land. Magnan and Desmarais analyzed

land titles data to find owners who were not local farm families. They also paid the province’s Farmland Security Board for its data on farmland transactions to be able to identify buyers and sellers as well as prices. The study found 37 investors, including the CPPIB, farmland investment companies, investment funds, individuals and a group of out-of-province agribusinesses that the authors call farmer/ investor hybrids. High-profile individual purchasers include investor Brett Wilson; the Aquilini family, who own the Vancouver Canucks; and Lulu Lemon founder Chip Wilson. Under the hybrid model, investors included former feedlot owner Cor Van Raay; Nil-Ray Farms, owned by the Nilsson Brothers; and 3L Cattle Co., owned by the founder of a B.C. logging company. The largest single owner is Robert Andjelic and Andjelic Land Inc. from Calgary, who owns nearly 161,000 acres in 78 rural municipalities, according to the study. His website indicates that number is closer to 200,000 acres. The study notes that investment activity is unevenly distributed in the province because of soil type, land quality and prices. In 16 RMs, investors own more than five percent of the agricultural land. Magnan and Desmarais took a

closer look at those transactions. “In the 16 ‘high activity’ RMs, investors paid more per acre of farmland, on average, than other buyers in all but two years,” they said. “Between 2007 and 2014, the years of increased investment activity, investors paid on average $882 per acre versus $633 per acre for other arm’s length buyers and $513 for buyers in family transactions.

… investors paid on average 39 percent more than other arm’s length buyers and 72 percent more than intra-family buyers for farmland in the 16 RMs we examined. ANNETTE AURELIE DESMARAIS, ANDRE MAGNAN CANADIAN CENTRE FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES

“In other words, investors paid on average 39 percent more than other arm’s length buyers and 72 percent more than intra-family buyers for farmland in the 16 RMs we examined.” Province-wide, in that same time period, investors paid an average of $239 per acre over assessed value, compared to non-investor arm’s length buyers who paid $96 per acre over value. Those figures equate to premiums of 50 percent

and 21 percent, respectively. The study notes that the fact investors have paid significantly more than other buyers supports concerns about speculation. “Our research raises important questions about who should own farmland in Saskatchewan, and how much,” the report said. “Although there are indications that the Saskatchewan farmland market has begun to cool, sound policy making around farmland ownership is necessary if we are concerned about ensuring access to land for the next generation of farming families, who are integral to the social and economic fabric of rural communities.” Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said the government doesn’t intend to stop Canadians from buying land. He said there are individual Saskatchewan residents who are also making large-scale purchases. “Some people won’t be happy until we restrict ownership to not only Saskatchewan residents but Saskatchewan residents who are actually farming the land,” he said. “We’re just not prepared to go that far. Farming is a business, and it’s a pretty substantial business.” The percentage of the province’s 58 million acres of farmland owned by investors is 1.44 percent. karen.briere@producer.com

BRANDON BUREAU

A Manitoba company with world leading technology to turn vegetables and pulses into purees is now bankrupt. Canadian Prairie Garden Puree Products of Portage la Prairie filed for bankruptcy protection in late March. Receivership records show that the company owes $9 million: $6 million to secured creditors and $3 million to unsecured creditors. The secured creditors are mostly investors, such as the First Peoples Economic Growth Fund, which is owed $1.7 million. The list of unsecured creditors is much longer. It includes trucking companies, vegetable growers around Portage la Prairie and law firms. Two of Manitoba’s best known fruit and vegetable growers, Jeffries Bros. and Mayfair Farms, are on the list of creditors. Canadian Prairie Garden owes $191,000 to Jeffries Bros. Vegetable Growers and $128,000 to Mayfair Farms. The bankruptcy could be devastating for vegetable farmers who invested in their operations to supply additional demand from Canadian Prairie Garden, the Vegetable Growers Association of Manitoba said in a statement. “The impact of this extends beyond (Canadian Prairie Garden),” said VGAM president Roland Jeffries. “Jobs have been created on the farms to support this that are now being lost. Our producers were all ready with their seed and land to begin planting for CPGPP as soon as they could get out there. They are now scrambling, not knowing what to do.” The federal government is also on the list of unsecured creditors. In 2012, the Conservative government provided a loan of $2.5 million through the Agricultural Innovation Program. Receivership documents show that Canadian Prairie Garden still owes $1.52 million on that loan. The federal and Manitoba governments also invested $582,000 into the company in January 2016 to help Canadian Prairie Garden purchase “state of the art” equipment. Only 15 months ago, Canadian Prairie Garden was planning to expand and predicted that it would go from nine employees to 60 within five years. Jeffries said the technology and the opportunity can be salvaged. “Our hope is that whichever company or group of investors deciding to pick up what is left of CPGPP will leave the facility in Manitoba,” he said. “There is still time to get the plant up and running again for this year’s crop.” MNP, which is acting as the receiver, said in a bankruptcy document that Canadian Prairie Garden Puree Products has about $7 million in assets, mostly in inventory and fixed assets. robert.arnason@producer.com

Detour signs, official and unofficial, are a common sight this spring in southwestern Manitoba. A March blizzard exacerbated spring flooding, so producers are worried about damaged roads and access to farmland. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO FIELD CONDITIONS

Seeding likely late in western Manitoba Fields are still waterlogged, but farmers are confident they will be able to plant a crop this year BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

SOURIS, Man. — The first week of April looked more like mid-March in southwestern Manitoba. Bushes around farmyards and tree lines next to fields had two to three metres of snow. As well, patches of snow and drifts remained on most of the cropland around Souris. Fields were waterlogged and there was more snow than water in ditches. However, producers and provincial extension agents say most of the cropland should be ready for spring seeding in early to midMay. “I don’t think the concern is as big anymore. We’re just at the beginning of April,” said Lionel Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture’s farm production adviser in the area. “I think guys are gearing up for

beginning of May seeding (around Souris).” The deep snow in ditches and tree lines as of April 6 was caused by an early March blizzard in western Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan. The storm closed the Trans-Canada Highway for about three days, and snowdrifts engulfed half-ton trucks parked in farmyards. Many producers thought the snow would stick around well into April, but little to no precipitation since the blizzard may have salvaged spring seeding for many producers. Environment Canada’s weather station in Brandon recorded only five millimetres of precipitation from March 8 until April 6. The area remains wet because soil moisture levels were high going into the winter, but field conditions are improving. Kaskiw, who has spoken to a

number of farmers, said producers are feeling more hopeful about spring seeding. The optimism is needed because extremely wet springs have become a regular occurrence in southwestern Manitoba. In 2011, a cool and wet spring washed out any hope of seeding a crop for many farmers. Almost three million acres of land went unseeded that year in Manitoba, with the bulk of the acres in the southwest. The situation around Souris may have improved, but conditions might be worse to the south. Scott Chalmers, Manitoba Agriculture’s diversification specialist in Melita, said in early April that farmland in the area is “soaking wet.” Nonetheless, most producers in the Melita region should be on the land by the second week of May if the weather in April is decent. “There’s a good chance that 80

FARMERS GEAR UP FOR HARVEST The first option will involve additional costs for handling and management. The second, depending on the weather, could take land out of production this year. “A lot of fields are still saturated and it’s very muddy,” Friesen said. “In terms of grain moisture, a lot of it is still very, very tough,” she added. In some areas, unharvested grain will be difficult to market under any circumstances because of quality losses and elevated toxicity levels caused by fusarium. In those instances, the main priority will be preparing unharvested fields for reseeding rather than harvesting and managing lowquality feedgrain.

“We would hope that burning (unharvested crops) will be minimal, but we are expecting that there will be some taking place,” Friesen said. “Some of those fields are really tough. There’s a lot of fusarium in them, a lot of disease, wildlife damage, mice … all sorts of different issues going on.” Jason Skinner, chief executive officer at North West Terminal, said combines started rolling around Unity, Sask., in early April. Local growers have been chewing away at unharvested acres ever since. “We’re finally starting to see the ground dry up enough that farmers can get in the field,” Skinner said last week.

JASON SKINNER NORTH WEST TERMINAL

“But it’s still a bit of a challenge because the low spots are wet and combines are getting stuck. It’s not an easy task.” Skinner said 10 percent of the crop in the NWT’s draw area stayed in the field over winter. Quality losses in spring-harvested material are variable, depending on what condition the crops

Fields were much drier north of the Trans-Canada Highway near Rivers, Rapid City and Neepawa. Snow, sometimes three metres deep, was a common sight within tree bluffs, but only a few fields had snow or large ponds of water, and ditches were relatively dry for the

were in last fall, he added. In general, cereal grains and oilseeds that are more mature are expected to suffer fewer quality losses during the winter. In addition, crops that were left standing last fall are generally less prone to damage than those that were swathed. In Alberta, many growers with unharvested acres spent last week tuning up combines and other harvest-related machinery, said Sylvan Lake grain grower Kevin Bender. In most cases, another week or more of warm weather will be needed before any combines return to action. “The fields are still pretty wet around here, and in some places there’s still some snow,” said Bender, who had 1,200 acres of wheat and canola to harvest as of

first week of April. Fields are drying up, but roads, culverts and other infrastructure could be damaged by the snow melt and runoff. For example, several roads in the Assiniboine River Valley looked more like lakes, and detour signs were posted. Bill Nicholson, who farms near Shoal Lake, is worried about access to land. Certain fields could be difficult to get to, or it might take 20 minutes rather than five minutes to reach by tractor. “You can see the field half a mile away, but it’s five miles to get there by a more circuitous route.” Barring a major rainfall, farmers around Shoal Lake could be seeding in four weeks. “We’re probably looking at the first week of May, of the possibility of doing anything,” Nicholson said. “Assuming things go well from here.” robert.arnason@producer.com

late last week. “So it’s going to be a little while yet.” Bender said all growers with unharvested acres will be under the gun as they try to balance spring harvest efforts with annual seeding operations. In some areas, unharvested fields may not be combined before seeding begins, he added. There are unharvested acres throughout Alberta, but growers west and north of Edmonton are perhaps facing the most difficult situation. Some producers in those areas have more than half of last year’s crop still in the field and could be forced to wait weeks before saturated soil is firm enough to support a combine. brian.cross@producer.com

NEWS WHEAT MIDGE » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The presence of a refuge variety reduces the chance of insects developing resistance to the Sm1 trait. “The fact that we have been growing SWS without a (midge susceptible refuge variety) puts the Sm1 trait at risk,” SeCan said in an April 5 news release. “Midge tolerant wheat saves producers $40 to $60 million per year, (and) there are no replacement tolerance genes. For this reason, we need to act as quickly as possible to put a stewardship plan in place for the benefit of all wheat producers.” Todd Hyra, SeCan’s business manager for Western Canada, said the discovery of the Sm1 gene in Sadash and other SWS varieties came as a surprise to the company and plant breeders who develop soft white wheat varieties. Surprise discovery Wheat breeders did not intentionally insert the gene into new SWS varieties that they developed. Nonetheless, the discovery of the gene in Sadash prompted SeCan to take immediate and extraordinary steps aimed at managing the midge tolerant Sm1 gene and ensuring that is adequately protected. The company has asked all pedigreed seed growers and commercial grain farmers who have AC Sadash in their bins and plan to either plant it or sell it as pedigreed seed to blend Sadash with quantities of AC Andrew, another SWS variety. “We need to rely on everyone to be willing to work with us, and generally the membership (of SeCan) has been supportive,” Hyra said. “They understand the implications, they understand there are some timelines, but they also understand the need for stewardship.” The co-operation of commercial grain farmers who use Sadash and have been planting it as farmsaved seed is another question. Hyra said SeCan considered deregistering Sadash to ensure the Sm1 gene is not compromised. Eventually, the company decided to seek the co-operation of SWS growers. Sadash is currently the most widely grown soft white variety in Western Canada. It has been distributed commercially in Western Canada for the past seven years, and in 2016 the variety was planted on hundreds of thousands of acres across the West. “Sadash is out there, so we’re going to have to rely on the goodwill and co-operation of farmers,” Hyra said. “Another part of this is making sure that we have adequate supplies of AC Andrew to meet the (blending) needs of the industry.” Hyra said it could take a couple of years to ensure that adequate stocks of AC Andrew are available. S eed growers who have AC Andrew in storage will be asked to plant as much as possible this year. AC Sadash and AC Andrew should be blended at a ratio of 9:1.

Hyra said commercial grain growers who co-operate with SeCan’s blending request will be expected to source, supply and blend AC Andrew at their own cost. Further down the road, they may also be asked to renew supplies of Sadash seed every two years, in conformance with existing midge tolerant stewardship agreements. If the industry-wide appeal to blend Sadash does not produce the intended results, deregistration of Sadash is still an option that may be considered, Hyra added. The Sm1 gene is not new to seed breeders or to the pedigreed seed industry, but its discovery in AC Sadash and other SWS cultivars came out of the blue. Over the past decade or so, the gene was knowingly incorporated into more than 20 varieties of wheat in the CWRS, CPSR, CWES, CWAD and CWGP classes. It is still unclear how many SWS varieties contain the gene, but SeCan officials confirmed that three varieties in their portfolio — AC Sadash, AAC Indus and AAC Awesome — are among the SWS varieties that unexpectedly carry the trait.

HOG PRODUCTION

That’s a … path that we’ve never gone down before so it will … require their participation to make sure that the midge tolerant gene is protected. TODD HYRA SECAN

A fourth SeCan variety — AAC Paramount — is also believed to contain the trait, but further testing is required to confirm that, said Hyra. Awesome, Indus and Paramount are relatively new varieties so they have not been distributed widely to commercial grain growers. As a result, it should be relatively easy to ensure that a refuge variety is added before widespread commercial release. But for Sadash, the addition of a refuge variety will be a huge undertaking. “The big piece of this that will require the assistance of producers is the adding of a refuge to the farm-saved supplies of Sadash that are out there,” Hyra said. “That’s a … path that we’ve never gone down before so it will … require their participation to make sure that the midge tolerant gene is protected.” Hyra said there is no evidence to suggest that the commercial production of Sadash without a refuge over the past six years has compromised the efficacy of the Sm1 gene. brian.cross@producer.com

Midge tolerant wheat saves producers up to

Manitoba hog industry gears up for growth Pork official says it will be a long time before the sector rebounds to peak years BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The ice is breaking up in the frozen Manitoba hog farming industry with dozens of new barns expected in coming years. “We are getting calls almost daily,” Mike Teillet, the Manitoba Pork Council’s manager of sustainable development, said during the organization’s annual meeting April 5. The council is expecting 50 to 100 new and replacement barns to be built in Manitoba in the next year as the new provincial government lifts a decade-old series of regulations strangling the industry’s development. However, much of that will make up for closed facilities and worn out structures with true, longterm growth taking a while to set in, said Andrew Dickson, the pork council’s general manager. “We’re sort of holding our own at the moment,” said Dickson. “It’s going to be a long time before we ever get back to our peak years.” The slump of Manitoba hog production has left packers with millions fewer hogs to slaughter, which has caused the Maple Leaf plant in Brandon to run well beneath capacity. The situation is much different in the U.S. Midwest. Pat McGonegle, the chief executive officer of Iowa Pork Producers, said his state expects to see 200 to 230 new barns in construction this year, which is similar to last year. “We expect growth to continue,” he said.

The Manitoba government’s lifting of the moratorium on hog barn construction has producers optimistic about the future. | FILE PHOTO Farmers are bullish about the future because of four new hog slaughter plants coming into production in the next two years, including three in the Midwest and one in Michigan. That should produce eight to nine million more shackle spaces, relieving any nearby worry about slaughter capacity. The U.S. industry sells much of its pork outside the United States, and it needs that to continue. As with Canada, countries such as China now absorb a lot of the excess pork produced in North America. However, unlike with Canada’s producers, U.S. producers have to worry about their government’s commitment to trade and the risk of an overseas trade war developing. Attacks on Chinese trade practices and threats of retaliation worry producers, but little has gone beyond words. “So far it hasn’t had a negative i m p a c t o n o u r m ov e m e n t ,” McGonegle said.

“The U.S. wants to continue to be a strong, reliable supplier … even when our president says goofy things once in a while.” The Americans said many of the same concerns hanging over Manitoba’s industry also affect the U.S. industry. “Where do we find the people?” Reuben Bode, president of the Minnesota Pork Board, said about workers for the hog industry. “We just simply can’t find them.” As well, regulations around water and zoning add months to any new barn going forward. A fortunately small topic at the pork council meeting was porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, which has not appeared this year. Manitoba had four cases last year, but it never went out of control as happened in the U.S. “We should not get complacent,” said council president George Matheson. “We’ve done a remarkable job in Manitoba.” ed.white@producer.com

DEMAND

Canola oil may head south for biodiesel Congress could introduce a producer tax credit, creating veg oil demand BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A potential change in the U.S. biodiesel tax credit could create a new market for Canadian canola oil, say analysts. The U.S. biodiesel industry has lobbied Congress for years to change the $1 per gallon tax incentive to a producer’s credit from a blender’s credit. “What that would do is that would incentivize U.S. production,” said Jessica Robinson, spokesperson for the National Biodiesel Board.

CANOLA MARKET

Basis premiums in the offing?

Canola buyers may have to offer zero or positive basis bids to pry tight supplies from farmers BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Marketing advisers expect grain companies and crushers to begin offering more specials and offers to attract canola as the crop year runs down. Buyers need to do something if they want new product. There is little left in farmers’ bins and futures prices have fallen well below $500 a tonne.

BRIAN VOTH MARKET ADVISER

“I do think they are going to have to bid up to get through to new crop,” said Brian Voth of IntelliFarm. “I think they have covered a lot of their obligations, but I do still think

they need to bid up to get more.” Basis levels have improved by about $5 to $10 per tonne at many elevators and crushers, and brief specials and offers are popping up more often to entice farmers to deliver the remainder of the 2016 crop. “We’ve been seeing basis levels firm up here,” said Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing. “It’s no surprise, especially when the futures broke lower.” The combination of attractive futures and basis provided nice cash prices through much of the winter. Basis levels were wide after harvest, when many farmers were quickly moving damp and otherwise difficult seed to market. Basis narrowed by $10 to $15 per tonne in some areas as the winter progressed and canola demand from exporters and crusher was strong. They widened again as canola futures rose to $525 per tonne. However, futures recently sold off dramatically, dragged down by soybeans as Brazil harvests a binbusting record crop. May canola futures are now trad-

ing near $490 and many farmers are reluctant to sell. That’s probably behind the improving basis levels with farmers having little left and not liking the falling futures. “They’re having to compete a little harder in order to coax canola out of farmer’s bins,” said Driedger. FarmLink advisers are seeing southern Manitoba basis levels go from zero to a few dollars positive, while central Saskatchewan bids are about $15 under and central Alberta bids are straddling zero, with a plus $5 to minus $10 range. Many of those prices come in specials but represent what some farmers have been finding. Ken Ball of P.I. Financial said specials have become a big part of canola buying this winter with local offers from multiple points when a train is coming in and short-term specials when trains need to be topped up. “They’ll occasionally perk up $5 to $10, then go back to more normal levels,” said Ball. “We’re certainly expecting to see basis levels become more attractive.” ed.white@producer.com

CANOLA BASIS IMPROVES The canola futures basis spent much of the late winter around $25 under the nearby contract in the par region, but in the past two weeks it has narrowed to mitigate the eﬀect of the falling futures price on the cash prices. The basis shown here is the benchmark issued by ICE Futures Canada daily showing the best basis bid in the par region, which is central Saskatchewan.

Dan Basse, president of AgResource Co., believes this could be the year the biodiesel industry gets its wish with U.S. President Donald Trump in office. The incentive that expired Dec. 31, 2016, was a blender’s credit that applies to imported biodiesel as well as domestically produced fuel. That has led to an explosion of imports. More than one-third of the 2.9 billion gallons of biodiesel sold in the United States last year was imported, a 64 percent increase over the previous year. “This administration has got this view of making America great again, so paying a $1 per gallon subsidy to two million tonnes of Argentinian biodiesel doesn’t seem to make sense,” he said. Basse believes the Trump administration will renew the expired credit and switch it to a producer’s credit as part of a broader tax reform bill that is the current policy priority for the U.S. president. That would cur tail impor ts and boost U.S. biodiesel production because the credit would apply only to U.S. produced biodiesel. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

CANARYSEED OUTLOOK

“It probably means 600 to 800 million pounds of additional soybean oil demand,” he said. Basse said U.S. soybean oil is already spoken for, so that additional demand would have to be met through imported vegetable oil. He believes the logical choice would be Canadian canola oil. He estimates 200 to 400 million pounds of Canadian canola oil could be imported to meet the demand, which is 2.3 to 4.6 percent of total annual production by Canadian crushers. Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist for INTL FCStone, also believes the U.S. will change the incentive to a producer’s credit this year. “It’s certainly better than 50 percent odds that it would happen,” he said. He agreed with Basse that historical data shows any increase in vegetable oil demand from the biodiesel sector is always met by imported oil.

Huge canaryseed carryover creates ‘wishy washy’ outlook

It would probably be positive for Canada because it might mean shipping more south into the United States. ARLAN SUDERMAN ECONOMIST

“Would it have any net effect on soybean prices here in the United States? Our data would say probably not significantly,” said Suderman. “It would probably be positive for Canada because it might mean shipping more south into the United States.” The incentive has been in place since 2005. Meanwhile, the National Biodiesel Board has filed an antidumping and countervailing duty petition alleging that biodiesel companies in Argentina and Indonesia are violating trade laws by flooding the U.S. market with subsidized product. Imports from those two countries have surged 464 percent between 2014 and 2016. The association contends biodiesel from Argentina is being dumped at prices 23 percent below market value, while Indonesian biodiesel is selling for a 34 percent discount. The association is seeking punitive duties that would bring prices back to fair market value. The European Union and Peru have already imposed antidumping and countervailing duties on biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia. The investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission is expected to take about one year. Basse said another positive for Canadian canola is the dramatic slowdown in the auctioning off of Chinese rapeseed oil reserves. “Quietly, I can tell you, that the Chinese have been securing or asking for more offers for Canadian canola,” he said. He believes the spread between canola and soybean oil will reach record levels in 2017-18 because of increased demand from China and the U.S. biodiesel industry. However, Basse is still not bullish about canola because of the anticipated huge supply. sean.pratt@producer.com

Despite low prices, analysts expect acres to increase this year BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The canaryseed market outlook can be summed up in one word — blah. Exports have been lacklustre, supply is much bigger than the official numbers suggest and the price outlook is dismal, say analysts. David Nobbs, managing partner of CanPulse Foods, doesn’t see prices improving from today’s values of 20 cents per pound delivered and 19 cents for new crop. “Some people are saying, ‘when you get to 25 cents, give us a call.’ It just doesn’t feel that is even remotely in the pipeline,” he said. Part of the problem is the chronic under-reporting of supply by Statistics Canada. “The issue is the hidden inventory,” said Nobbs. Statistics Canada reports 5,000 tonnes of carryout from the 201516 crop. CanPulse was sitting on 4,000 tonnes of carryout itself. Nobbs believes the real number is closer to 75,000 tonnes. The production estimate is also low. Statistics Canada says growers harvested 120,000 tonnes of the crop last year based on average yields of 1,320 pounds per acre or 26.4 bu. an acre. Nobbs believes the real number is around 150,000 tonnes. That would put total supply at 225,000 tonnes, which is 100,000 tonnes higher than Statistics Canada’s supply estimate.

Statistics Canada pegs carryout from 2015-16 at 5,000 tonnes, while a Can Pulse Foods official estimates a 75,000 tonne carryover. | FILE PHOTO “That’s why the market is grindy,” he said. The disappointing export program is also weighing down pric-

es, said Marlene Boersch, managing partner of Mercantile Consulting Venture. Exporters shipped 66,548

tonnes of canaryseed for the first half of the 2016-17 campaign, 12 percent below the previous year’s pace. “They’re not big export numbers anymore, nothing to write home about,” she said. No b b s e x p e c t s 1 3 0 , 0 0 0 t o 140,000 tonnes of exports for the year, well below the 150,000 to 160,000 tonnes that would be shipped in a good year. Mexican buyers are reluctant to build inventories because of the country’s weakening currency compared to the U.S. dollar, so it’s hand-to-mouth buying. Grower prices would have to drop to 18 cents a lb. to stimulate demand, he said. Nobbs expects canaryseed acres to increase despite the grim price outlook for the crop. He said Statistics Canada’s yield estimate is too low. There were plenty of 40 bu. per acre crops harvested last year, and that produces a good return. He sees a 10 to 20 percent bump in acres and another 150,000 tonnes of production. Boersch doesn’t know what to think about canaryseed seeded area this spring. “I’ve been told by the likes of AgriTrend that they see a lot of interest in canar yseed,” she said. “I’m not so convinced. That’s why I’m wishy-washy on it.” AgriTrend expects a 30 percent increase to 338,000 acres. Boersch believes acres will rise because farmers are looking to grow a cereal crop that won’t be devastated by fusarium, but she doubts the increase will be that large. sean.pratt@producer.com

TRADE DEAL

Russia poses threat to Canadian exports A deal with China will see exports of soybeans, barley, flax, rapeseed and sunflower oil BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A massive new trade deal between Russian and Chinese companies poses a serious threat to Canada’s canola and flax exports, say analysts. Russia’s Export Food Trade company and China’s Sino-Europe Agricultural Development Centre signed a long-term contract March 29 to supply Russian crops to China. Newspapers report that the deal covers soybeans, barley, rapeseed, flax and crude sunflower oil. Russia plans to export 1.5 million tonnes of those commodities to China next year with total volume growing to 52 million tonnes by 2028. China is the top buyer of Canadian canola and flax, so the new deal with Russia is an unwelcome development. “It’s a huge threat and it should be giving us some food for thought,” said Marlene Boersch, managing partner of Mercantile Consulting Venture. Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist for INTL FCStone, said the mega-deal is a statement that Russia will be a force to be reckoned with in years to come. “This is just a wake-up call and a realization that they are going to be a long-term player in the export market,” he said. “They have made a significant investment in the infrastructure to become a major agricultural exporter.” China bought 381,551 tonnes, or 62 percent, of Canadian flax exports and 3.6 million tonnes, or 34 percent, of Canadian canola seed exports last year. Suderman said Russia’s new deal with China will create more competition for Canadian exports, given how the country has flexed its muscles in the wheat market. “They started off by becoming the world’s largest exporter of wheat,” he said.

“Now that they’ve done that, they’re moving towards other agricultural commodities as well.” However, Suderman said oilseed demand is rapidly expanding in China, so there will be a bigger pie. It is unclear from the newspaper reports if annual exports of the five Russian commodities will reach 52 million tonnes by 2028 or if that will be the total shipped over the 10-year period. Either way, it’s a lot of grains and oilseeds that could displace Canadian product. Boersch said it is hard to fathom 52 million tonnes in annual exports to China of the five commodities. However, she did note that Russia’s annual wheat exports have soared to 30 million tonnes from 10 million tonnes a decade ago, so it is not out of the realm of possibility. “The growth has been mindboggling and the increase in ability to transport and solve all these (problems), I find very impressive,” she said. It should give Canada pause to reflect on what little is being done to improve its export infrastructure. China is also investing heavily in transportation. It has embarked on its One Belt, One Road project, a 21st century Silk Road that would link China to Russia and other parts of Europe. China is also building a transcontinental railroad that would provide a more direct route for goods moving from Russia to China. As a result, it is not unreasonable to expect increased business between the two economic superpowers. Russia is not a major producer of rapeseed, but it is one of the world’s top flax growing regions. Boersch thinks it could easily increase production of both crops to meet China’s needs. There is still plenty of land that can be brought back into agricultural production in Russia. sean.pratt@producer.com

Economists with the major Canadian banks expect the Canadian dollar will be in the low to mid US70 cents range, but others think it could fall to the low 60 cents.

Analysts see continuing weakness ahead for loonie BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Some currency experts believe the loonie will drop significantly this year, helping buffer Canadian farmers against lacklustre commodity prices. Ken Courtis, chair of Starfort Investment Holdings and a member of federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s Advisory Council on Economic Growth, said U.S. President Donald Trump’s economic stimulus program will strengthen the U.S. dollar and drive down the loonie. “I’m predicting that we’ll see a substantially lower Canadian dollar,” he said during a recent Business News Network interview. Courtis said Trump’s promise to reduce regulation, cut taxes and increase infrastructure spending will reinvigorate the U.S. economy. He expects the loonie will fall to US62 cents over the next 18 months from 75 cents. The loonie has been falling since 2013, when it was trading at

par with the U.S. dollar. That has helped protect Canadian farmers against falling commodity prices because they are traded in U.S. dollars and the lower loonie puts more money in their pockets. U.S. up, Canada down Courtis isn’t the only analyst who sees a plummeting loonie. Alfonso Esparza, senior currency strategist with OANDA, told BNN that Trump’s economic stimulus program will force the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates three or four times in 2017, putting downward pressure on the loonie. He believes the loonie could drop as low as 60 cents this year. The forecasts of Courtis and Esparza are at odds with those of Scotiabank, CIBC and RBC , which all have the loonie trading in the range of 72 to 75 cents for the remainder of 2017 and 2018. Some analysts are even expect a rising loonie. Errol Anderson, analyst with ProMarket Wire, believes the U.S. economy will falter and

the loonie will surge as a result. “I really think the U.S. is going headfirst into a recession,” he said. U.S. gross domestic product grew by a disappointing 1.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta expects .6 percent growth in the first quarter of 2017. “To me, the U.S. dollar is setting up for a fall,” said Anderson. The U.S. Federal Reserve says it expects to raise interest rates four times in 2017. Anderson feels there is zero chance of that happening. “The whole thing is just a façade,” he said. “If they hike it one more time, they’re going to drive themselves right into recession.” Anderson believes there is good support for a 75 cent loonie, with upside potential of 78 cents if the U.S. heads into recession. He has been hedging the dollar by buying June call options. “We’ve got a lot of cattle feeders covered against the risk of a rising U.S. dollar,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Shipping costs recovering but are still considered cheap MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

emember the Baltic Dry Index? A dozen years ago it seemed every market analyst presentation had a slide or two showing how the BDI was soaring. The BDI and related indexes show the relative cost of ocean freight on various size ships. In t h e e a r l y 2 0 0 0 s, t h e BD I

became a stand-in for the pace of global trade. It became something of a thermometer measuring the health of the global economy. A feverish BDI was a good sign for commodity demand; a cooling BDI was bad. However, the world’s fleets were not ready for the boom in commodity demand from China and other fast growing Asian countries in the early part of this century. The BDI began to soar. With ocean freight becoming expensive, proximity to markets became a bigger issue for the world’s grain exporters. Australian exporters were closer to China, giving them a competitive advantage over Canada. And anytime a transportation snag caused ships to back up at

port, it meant high demurrage costs passed on to farmers. The BDI peaked near 12,000 in 2008. The high profits in the industry caused fleet owners to order vast quantities of new ships. But then the BDI collapsed when the rest of the rest of the commodity market imploded with the economic crisis in the United States. It partly bounced back when the economic system stabilized in 2009-10 but then fell back again as the ships ordered in the good times were completed and launched, adding to freight over- capacity as China’s slowing growth led to lower global shipping demand. The BDI remained below 2,000 for most of this decade and fell to its lowest level in early 2016, dipping to an all time low of 290.

The BDI lost its direct relationship with commodity prices because of the huge oversupply of ships, and ocean freight was a minor issue in grain markets. However, the BDI index has been rising and recently hit the highest level since 2014 at about 1,300 points. To give a better idea of the real world impact of the changing BDI, a spot time charter of a Panamax vessel in February 2016 fell to as low as $2,300 when the BDI was at 290, but by early this month it had recovered to $11,443. Capacity is adjusting. Old ships are being decommissioned and demand for commodities is picking up. Ocean freight is still cheap, but with improving fundamentals,

how high could it go? No one expects the cost to take off higher. Global economic growth is accelerating after nine years of stagnation. However, 2017 growth at 3.4 to 3.6 percent, up from 3.1 in 2016, is not the same as the heady levels of more than five percent seen in 2005 and 2006. New ships are still entering service, so more old ships will have to be demolished if fleet owners hope for better operating returns. It will likely take years before supply and demand of ocean shipping capacity becomes better aligned. Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan or email darce.mcmillan@ producer.com.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS LOWER AGAIN

BISON STEADY

U.S. cash hog markets struggled again with ample supply and rising carcass weighs as weather warmed, allowing faster growth. The U.S. national live price average for barrows and gilts was US47.25 per cwt. April 7, down from $50.25 March 31. U.S. hogs averaged $58.17 on a carcass basis April 7, down from $61.38 March 31. The U.S. pork cutout was $75.28 per cwt., down from $75.40 March 31. 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 April 8 was 2.306 million, down from 2.343 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.159 million last year at the same time. In Canada, the April 8 Signature Five price was C$154.93 per 100 kilograms, down from $160.54 the previous week. On a per hundredweight basis, the price was $70.28, down from $72.82 the previous week.

The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$6.30–$6.50 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.75 with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs. Grade A heifers sold up to C$6$6.30. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.50. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

SHEEP MIXED Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 1,733 sheep and lambs and 135 goats traded April 3. Fancy light weight lambs sold at a premium. All other new crop lambs sold at about steady prices. Heavy type lambs sold barely steady. Good sheep sold $5-$7 lower. Fat and heavy sheep faced more pressure. Goats sold barely steady.

CANFAX REPORT FED MARKET LOWER The Canfax weighted average steer price was $170.89, down $3.51, and heifers were $167.89, down $6.58. Lower U.S. cash and futures markets weighed down Canadian prices as the market hit a slow patch. Prices are not expected to pick up until after Easter when grilling season will set in. In Canada, a diverse offering of yearlings and calves of various quality traded in a wide price range. Dressed sales ranged $280$287.50 per hundredweight, but most were at $286 delivered. Volumes were light to moderate, and both major Alberta packers procured cattle. The Alberta cash-to-futures basis was strong at +$11.68. We e k l y w e s t e r n C a n a d i a n slaughter to April 1 was steady at 34,176 head. Steer carcass weights fell 10 pounds and were a whopping 32 lb. lighter than the same week last year. Weekly fed exports to March 25 slipped to 7,237 head. This year exports are down six percent at 72,645 head. In the United States, trade had not developed in the south at week’s end. In the north, there were a few dressed sales at US$200 per cwt., down $4 to $5. U.S. beef cuts were sharply lower.

COWS STEADY D1, D2 cows ranged C$95-$113 to average $105.10 per cwt. up 27 cents. D3 cows ranged $85-$100 to average $91.60. Slaughter bulls averaged $125.04, down 64 cents. April is often strong for non-fed markets. Current prices are the highest in more than a year. Alberta prices are $21 per cwt. stronger than the Ontario market and $14 stronger than the U.S. market. Non-fed volumes through commercial auctions have been fairly light, but the slaughter volume is surprisingly large at more than 7,000 in each of the past two weeks. However, cow marketings in the first 12 weeks of the year have been only 149,000 head because of much smaller exports. The next

lowest was 2015 at 156,600, and the five-year average is almost 173,500 head.

FEEDER DEMAND SOLID The prairie auction volume has been brisk. On average, feeder steers were down 12 cents per cwt., while heifers were down $1.36. Demand for grass cattle remained strong and 550, 650 and 750 lb. weight groups set new high prices. Those who bought calves in the fall of 2016 are likely in a profitable situation. That is prompting more interest this year in forward pricing yearlings off grass. The average rally in the past 10 years for 850 lb. steers from first half lows to second half highs is 21 percent. With this year’s low assumed at $160, a 21 percent increase would put second half highs in the low $190s. The current forward price for summer-early fall delivery is in the $170s or an eight-10 percent increase. Weekly exports of 9,147 were highest this year. More heifers are going to auction. Bred cows ranged $1,470-$2,500 per head. Bred heifers ranged $1,450-$2,250 and cow-calf pairs were $2,050-$2,875.

US BEEF DOWN U.S. boxed beef Choice on April 6 fell US$7.31 to $207.90 per cwt., while Select fell $7.77 to $200.28 . Weekly Canadian boxed beef prices to March 25 saw AAA rise C$1.74 to $278.83 and AA rise $7.07 to $275.34. The AAA has been at a discount to Choice since the first week of March when the U.S. market rallied sharply.

Canadian pork sector benefits from going ractopamine free Canada is winning market share in China because U.S. packers and feed mills won’t remove ractopamine from feed, says American economist BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian pork will keep going through the front door to China while U.S. pork sneaks through back doors left open by Canada and the European Union, says a leading American hog market analyst. American reluctance to eliminate ractopamine from hog diets and American sabre-rattling over China trade policy mean Canada will probably continue to be that giant nation’s preferred pork supplier. “I think it’s created an opportunity for you,” Dermot Hayes, an Iowa State University economist, said about Canada’s booming pork exports to China. “They’ll be a long-time buyer.” As well, he urged Canadian hog farmers to examine why they aren’t receiving a premium over the average North American price because Canada is becoming the hub for offshore pork sales. “If you’re the export hub, why aren’t you getting a premium for your hogs?” he said in a presentation during the Manitoba Pork Council annual meeting April 5. Hayes, a long-time proponent of the argument that China will become a major sustained pork importer, said many parts of the American hog industry do not agree with him, hence their reluctance to eliminate the use of ractopamine. “They don’t trust this market to continue,” said Hayes about major packers and feed mills in the United States. They believe China will pop in and out of the market whenever it is short of pork, but it will not be a steady buyer similar to Japan. Because of that, feed mills do not want to do the “deep cleanse” that would be necessary to guarantee

ractopamine-free feed rations, and packers do not want to begin paying a premium for racto-free pigs. However, Canada has gone almost entirely racto-free, so its sales to China have been booming. The EU has the same status and is also making good sales. In 2016 China vaulted to become the second biggest buyer of Canadian pork by volume at 313,915 tonnes. By value, China was third after the U.S. and Japan, with sales worth $587.1 million With only about 40 percent of the U.S. herd racto-free, most of the premium sales destined for China are coming from Canada and the EU. That leaves the U.S. to backfill the customers that Canada and the EU are now ignoring in order to meet Chinese demand, Hayes said. Long-term demand The booming Chinese demand for pork imports will continue for at least a year and probably 18 months, he said. Whether it will continue beyond that depends on the choices Chinese hog farmers make about relocating to Manchuria in northern China. Much Chinese hog production is in the populous regions of the country, but it is being pushed out. Chinese local and regional authorities were appalled by water pollution and the “dead pigs in the river” scandal and are forcing hog farmers on the edges of growing Chinese towns to close or relocate. Manchuria has lots of land, grain, water and space, but farmers might not be willing to move there in order to remain farmers. Hayes said they are not moving en masse to Manchuria. If they don’t move and production doesn’t boom in Manchuria

to make up for slumping production in the central and southern regions, then China will probably remain a major pork buyer. He said neither Japan nor South Korea wanted to become reliant upon imported pork, but they both did. “If we don’t pick a trade war with them (China), if they don’t introduce new subsidies, it’s going to happen,” said Hayes. North America can export pork to China because the domestic price of a live pig in China has been about double that of a pig in North America. North American pork can still bring a decent price for the producer even with a 20 percent import duty, a value-added tax and a 15 percent transportation cost. China has been importing about 250,000 tonnes per month. “We’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Hayes. With the ractopamine issue ongoing, and China leery of relying upon the U.S. because of President Donald Trump’s frequent criticism, Canada is well-placed to keep reaping the rewards of premium Chinese pork sales and to leave lower-priced sales to the U.S. industry. “China is importing so much pork and pork products from Canada that Canada is letting down its traditional customers,” said Hayes. The best element of booming Chinese demand for North American pork is that it will allow the herd and packing industry to expand without swamping demand. “There is room at least for the next couple of years for the expansion we’re seeing in North America to make its way to China,” said Hayes. ed.white@producer.com

he increasing polarization between proponents of genetically modified food and non-GMOs is unhealthy for agriculture. This is no more evident than what happened recently when agribusiness giant Cargill announced on Twitter that it was partnering with the Non-GMO Project, a strident anti-GMO organization, to verify 13 ingredients in its growing line of nonGM products. Cargill, whose business is heavily tilted toward GM ingredients, was the target of criticism from farmers, suppliers, bloggers and even Monsanto’s chief technology officer, Robb Fraley, who asked in a tweet why Cargill is working with an “anti-science” group. Robert Saik, chief executive officer of Agri-Trend and an unabashed supporter of GMOs, tweeted that an Ontario farmer “pulled all their $500,000 business away” from Cargill over the decision to partner with the Non-GMO Project. And Shannon Rumbaugh, web editor with the High Plains Journal, argued that “by putting the Non-GMO Project Verified mark on its products, Cargill gives tacit approval of everything that mark signifies, and it legitimizes the organization’s antiscience claims and misinformation.” Cargill explained in a news release that it is explicit about its support for GMOs, acknowledging the controversy, saying the NonGMO project — whose Twitter home page features a photo of a child holding a paper that says, “I will not eat GMOs” — is the “most-requested third-party certification among our food and beverage customers.” “We firmly believe GMOs are proven safe and provide numerous benefits and that biotechnology plays a critical role in feeding a growing global population,” the release said. Cargill is adamant that its use of the NonGMO Project for verification is not an endorsement of the group, but its suppliers

and farmers say paying the NGP for its services provides financial support to a group that rejects science. But Cargill is not alone. Bloomberg reports that major agricultural firms Bunge and Viterra have also tapped the NonGMO Project for verification. We watched a similar scenario play out last year when the Vancouver-based Earls restaurant chain announced it would source much of its beef in the U.S. because the meat was certified as humane by a U.S. firm, leaving Canadian ranchers angry over the implication that their beef — which is among the best and most humanely produced in the world — was a lesser product. Earls eventually backed off and worked with Canadian beef producers to address the issue. Cargill and other GMO producers who enter the non-GM market must be ardent and vocal in their support for GM products. Cary Funk, associate director of research on science and society at the Pew Research Centre, recently told the Minneapolisbased Star Tribune that “a large portion (of the public) doesn’t really have a strong view (on GMOs) and they might make a choice in either direction once they become more informed.” Last year, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine published a report that found “no substantiated evidence that foods from (GM) crops were less safe than foods from non-GE crops.” Yet demand for non-GM products is growing. The path ahead for Cargill, Bunge, Viterra and others who have their feet in both markets is to provide consistent, high-profile support for the science behind GMOs. It will take time, but much of the public’s mind is still receptive to that message.

TRADE ISSUES

NAFTA negotiations up in the air as U.S. focus drifts CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

eep calm and carry on. That’s the key message Ottawa wants people to follow ahead of the pending renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. United States President Donald Trump hasn’t minced words when it comes to the 1994 trade deal between Canada, Mexico and the U.S. He repeatedly called it the “worst trade deal” ever signed by the U.S. while on the campaign trail, although he tried to reassure Canadians by later suggesting that most of his concerns lie with Mexico

and he only wants to “tweak” the Canada sections. T r u m p ha s n o t s a i d w hat a “tweak” would look like. NAFTA emboldens the unique trading relationship Canada and the U.S. have shared for years. Billions of dollars worth of goods and services cross the border every year, including $47 billion in agricultural trade alone. The original deal was finalized by former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who has been advising Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s federal cabinet as it prepares for the pending renegotiation. Mulroney was in Ottawa April 6 to meet with cabinet alongside Canada’s ambassador to Washington, David McNaughton. The former prime minister is also an acquaintance of U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay has refused to wade into the NAFTA renegotiation, telling reporters he will deal with the

NAFTA file, and any American agricultural demands, when it appears on his desk. International Trade Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and others have said they are willing to modernize the deal, which was struck before things like e-commerce were invented. Each country has areas they would like to look at, the minister has said. However, he has not elaborated on what areas Canada has concerns about. On the agenda Canada has typically refrained from speaking about trade negotiations in public, a policy the Liberals appear to be adopting. Behind the scenes, however, conversations about the upcoming negotiations are ongoing. Washington has made its list somewhat clear. Softwood lumber, supply management, grain grad-

ing, country-of-origin labelling and concerns about beef have all been mentioned as files the Americans want Canadian movement on. Despite the list, NAFTA action in Washington appears to be stalled. The U.S. Senate has not confirmed Trump’s pick for U.S. Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer, a confirmation that will not happen in the next two weeks. Congress and the Senate are on Easter break. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has not been confirmed either. His confirmation vote has reportedly been scheduled for the evening of April 24, which is the first day the Senate comes back from its two-week pause. The U.S. trade representative is typically the main contact point for trade negotiations with the U.S., a delay Ross has expressed frustration about publicly. Canada’s chief negotiator during the talks will be long-time trade

guru Steve Verheul, who headed the Canada-European Union trade talks and formerly served as Canada’s chief agriculture negotiator. Washington has several other ducks it must organize because the White House is required to give the U.S. Congress 90 days notice before a renegotiation of the trade deal can begin. It’s not clear how high trade sits on Congress’s radar. Officials in Washington have been tied up in recent weeks with the Republican’s health-care reform attempts and the confirmation of a new Supreme Court justice. There are also calls for the President to move ahead with his promised tax reforms. North of the border, a whiff of a NAFTA story seems to earn a headline. South of the border, the infatuation appears to be, well, a bit more subdued. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

INDUSTRY AWARDS

SARM delegates aim at wrong target

Agrologists recognized

BY JAN SLOMP

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

he Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities has called on the federal government to expand the legal justification for self-defence. In March, 93 percent of delegates at SARM’s annual convention voted in favour of a resolution indicating they believe rural residents do not have adequate rights to protect themselves or their property. It is frustrating when we have to get used to taking keys out of vehicles, locking doors and fuel tanks and being ever-mindful of possible theft. However, what SARM is asking for does not represent much wisdom. The National Farmers Union is not alone in rejecting SARM’s resolution. Our position is shared by Canada’s minister of public safety, Ralph Goodale, and Gordon Wyant, Saskatchewan’s minister of justice. Thank goodness we live in Canada, where common sense and a reliable justice system usually prevail. While it is important to protect property owners from crime, it is equally important to protect them from fear-based tendencies that lead to vigilantism and justifications of their own violence. We also find it disconcerting that SARM is vocal about protecting the property of rural dwellers yet seems to forget about the biggest robbery in history that has taken place over the span of several decades. SARM’s voice has not been loud when it came to defending farmers against federal governments, the railways and the grain companies as they restructured the rural economic framework. Do today’s SARM delegates recall

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

R SARM should focus on how governments and corporations are stealing from farmers and rural communities, rather than individuals, says the author. | GETTY PHOTO the impact on rural incomes when the Crow Benefit was eliminated, or how railway rationalization led to lower costs for railroads and grain companies, but left farmers to pay the extra costs those changes meant and left municipalities to pay for the increased road damage? The people who lost their jobs moved away and their wages are now spent elsewhere. Surely SARM delegates remember what was cut by the Harper government: agriculture research stations, community pastures, the Indian Head Tree Farm. Important as these were, the destruction of the Canadian Wheat Board overshadows them all. The CWB sold farmers’ wheat and barley and returned all but the cost of sales to farmers every year. With the CWB gone, more than $3 billion a year no longer ends up in farmers’ pockets. All these changes were designed

to consolidate profits and power for those at the top, at the expense of farmers and the rural economy. The resulting losses for rural Saskatchewan are staggering and readily visible in our towns and communities. It does not have to be this way. We can look to the example of Henry A. Wallace, the United States secretary of agriculture during the 1930s, whose measures helped pull the country out of the Great Depression. Every dollar of profit a farmer makes generates another $7 of economic activity in their nearby communities due to the multiplier effect. By bringing in parity pricing, which guarantees farmers a minimum percentage of the consumer price of farm products, Wallace revitalized the American rural economy. Agriculture is the sustainable economic base for Saskatchewan

and it can become prosperous again. We do not need guns to prevent the grain robbery. We just need to re-tool the economy for on-farm profit making. By taking steps to prevent absentee ownership and by discarding the bigger-is-better philosophy, rural towns will be able to thrive, as they did in the past when farmers co-operated and forced governments to implement essential public policy. Most people understand the difficulties facing RM councillors. But if they want to steer away from perpetual economic demise, they must educate themselves about the bigger picture of what creates and maintains rural grassroots economic prosperity. Jan Slomp is National Farmers Union president.

CONSUMER MISUNDERSTANDING

Gaining trust difficult when public lacks information HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

onsumers are always right, even when their views make no sense at all. Among farmers, there’s a growing tendency to despise the nonsensical opinions that are gaining strength among consumers, but maybe we should just pity them for all the conflicting information they receive. A couple years ago, this issue was called social licence. Agriculture needed to earn a licence from society to operate. The agriculture industry now prefers to use the term public trust, and all sorts of projects are underway about how to enhance public

trust in the food system. The marketing gurus say that using science to make arguments is far less effective than using empathy. There’s no use explaining why genetically modified crops are safe. It’s better to tell consumers that you’re a consumer, too, and that you have no qualms feeding them to your family. Trouble is, even from within agriculture, consumers are getting mixed messages. Even Cargill has succumbed to the pressure and is labelling some of its food products as verified GMO-free. While Cargill is obviously a big GMO supporter, the company still couldn’t resist the marketing opportunity of a non-GMO label on products that would qualify. Some observers argue that this diversity isn’t a problem. If some consumers want non-GMO or organic or free range or all-natural, whatever that means, let someone fill that market demand. Unfortunately, each one of these “niches” is predicated on the per-

ception of problems with how regular stream agriculture operates. And the niches have a way of becoming mainstream. You can hardly avoid organic produce in supermarkets anymore. A recent trend is to vilify glyphosate, thereby encouraging a number of food companies to demand grain produced on land where glyphosate hasn’t been used. Consumers don’t readily differentiate between residue levels in parts per million, billion or even trillion. They believe any residue has to be bad, even if it’s well below acceptable levels as determined by a very large safety factor. As scientific testing advances, it has become easier to find minute traces of almost anything. Most consumers have no idea what GMO really means. All they understand is that it sounds scary and involves corporate agriculture. Therefore, it must be bad. And they don’t understand the trade-offs. Organic agriculture often involves more tillage, which

is bad for the soil and bad for carbon emissions. GMO crops can naturally resist pests. While some of the food trend push comes from environmental organizations and consumer groups, a lot of it originates within agriculture. Sometimes it’s a heartfelt conviction that GM crops or crop protection products are inherently bad. Other times, it has more to do with a marketing tactic and making money. For those of us in mainstream agriculture, there’s a tendency to shake our heads at the nonsense and just go about our business. While that live-and-let-live attitude sounds nice, it isn’t that easy. Niches grow and when major crop protection products are pulled from the market because of public pressure rather than scientific assessment, conventional production practices are threatened.

ecognition for activities that support agriculture come in far too few forms because it tends to be a modest industry. A thanks and firm handshake go a long way. Last week, the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists recognized several folks and their efforts. One of the first people I interviewed regularly when I came to The Western Producer, about 25 years ago, was a passionate PAg and extension agrologist with the University of Saskatchewan. G ra n t Wo o d’s c a re e r i s t h e embodiment of extension and agricultural information delivery. As a member of the U of S agriculture faculty since 1984, he has ensured that prairie farmers and the public have had the opportunity to better understand the tools and challenges in food and agriculture. He and one other Saskatoon PAg received SIA’s Distinguished Agrologist Award. Tom Wolf is well known to producers and the industry for his research and information delivery work in application technology. He has written in these pages, co-produces website sprayers101.com and spends months on the road every year improving agricultural practice here and around the world. George Lewko from Prince Albert has helped shape the modern practice of agrology, developing and providing ethics and professionalism courses for the SIA and has expanded the new, evolving area of forensic agrology. He received the SIA Recognition Award. Bennie Dunhin of Cavalier Agro leads farmers in northwestern Saskatchewan through the maze that is profitable precision agriculture and runs trials for the Grow Community of Independents and United Suppliers. SIA named him Outstanding Young Agrologist. This year’s Agrology Excellence Award went to Western Ag for its commercialization of the Plant R o o t Si mu l at o r P ro b e s ( P R S Probes), its CropCaster software, its role in precision agriculture and for its work in expanding the profession of agronomy consulting. And after those well-deserved choices, they picked some journalist from The Western Producer to receive the SIA’s Honourary Life Member award for his service to agriculture. And he thanks the SIA. mike.raine@producer.com

Recent downturns and uncertainty in the oil economy have left some landowners without lease payments, but with ongoing activity and unfarmable land. Until a well has been deemed “orphaned” and the leased land reclaimed, which may be many years, the landowner is out not only the lease payments but also out the use of the land. Many people suffer when a company fails. Jobs are lost, shares are devalued, suppliers and contractors aren’t paid and governments are out their levy, royalty and tax revenues. But unlike the landowner, these people had a choice

regarding their participation in this project. Although the majority of leases and easements are agreed to without arbitration, the reality is that land owners cannot prevent this use of their land because of provincial “Right to Enter” legislation. Unless a burial site or some endangered species are located on the proposed lease/easement, the project is a go. Eminent domain, or “supreme lordship,” is what we know as expropriation.

Sask. premier suggests supply management trade-off Brad Wall says high prices for food under the supply managed system hurt low-income families BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall last week used a trip to Washington, D.C., designed to promote the Canada-U.S. trade relationship to muse about the end of supply management. Speaking to the Heritage Foundation, which promotes conservative public policies, he talked about the products that flow back and forth between the two countries and the dependence that many states have on Canada. His trade mission and appearance at the foundation were part of an ongoing Canadian effort to remind the U.S. that protectionism will hurt both countries because the economies are so integrated. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and several cabinet ministers have also addressed American audiences to express concern about President Donald Trump’s proposed border adjustment tax. It’s not yet clear if the tax would gain enough support in Washington. Wall, however, said that perhaps Canada could look at its supply management system for milk, eggs and poultry if the U.S. would reconsider taxing Canadian imports. “We in Canada should be having an open mind about what’s next. Maybe we should be listening to the Americans a little bit more about supply management,” he said. “Trust me, here I’m not speaking for the entire country. My wife and I, we’re lucky to have a place in Arizona, together with my folks, and we get down there a little bit, and I catch myself staring longingly at the price of cheese at the local Fry’s. It’s 25 percent, sometimes, of what we pay.” Wall said high prices for food produced under the supply-managed system disproportionately affect those with the lowest income. Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay has repeatedly stressed the Liberal government’s support for supply management. Last week in the House of Commons, he said federal Conservative leadership hopeful Maxime Bernier’s plan to eliminate it would cost billions and not affect food prices. However, Wall said recent trade deals have seen some movement on supply management. For example, the agreement with Europe will see more cheese coming into Canada. “Maybe it’s reasonable that we would do that again. And on this side of the border, maybe it’s reasonable we would ask our friends in the United States to kind of avoid things like Buy American policies on procurement, for sure, but also on private sector projects.” karen.briere@producer.com

GRAIN HANDLING

Early spring sees ships set sail from Thunder Bay port BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Eastbound grain shipments through the Port of Thunder Bay are off to a good start in 2017, thanks to an early break-up of winter ice and ample grain stocks in storage at the port. Tim Heney, chief executive officer at the Port of Thunder Bay, said the port welcomed its first vessel of the 2017 shipping season — the MV Manitoulin — on March 24. The Manitoulin picked up a load of grain from Richardson’s main terminal and delivered it to Buffalo, New York. Its arrival represented the earliest start to a shipping season at Thunder Bay since 2008.

“So far we’ve shipped 262,000 tonnes of cargo … and I think 210,000 of that was grain. Tonnagewise, that’s really good (for March). There was no ice and no (transit) issues so it was well above average. Back in 2014, we weren’t even open (until April 21),” said Heney. Grain shipments through the Port of Thunder Bay showed a noticeable spike over the past three years. Annual grain handlings have averaged nearly 7.95 million tonnes since 2014. Annual handlings were slightly less than 5.85 million tonnes in the five years preceding 2014. Heney said the port was not exactly sure how the elimination of the Canadian Wheat Board would affect its overall grain volumes.

However, with four full shipping seasons now in the books, it is clear that the port’s grain volumes benefited significantly from grain market deregulation. “After the wheat board was eliminated, nobody really knew what was going to happen,” Heney said. In terms of port traffic, “we can now say it was a positive thing, pretty much conclusively.” Grain companies are now handling their own grain, as opposed to handling grain on behalf of the CWB and charging fees for handling, elevating and storing board grains. “Now, it’s their grain … so they’re using (their facilities) as part of their own supply chain and they obviously find it an effective way to

do things,” Heney said. As well, European markets for Canadian pulses and high-quality durum have been steady, demand for Canadian grain is increasing in the Middle East and North Africa and more products are being shipped to Mexico. Lentil shipments have been growing steadily, thanks to AGT Food and Ingredients. AGT operates a direct loading facility at Thunder Bay and has been shipping products to Europe and the Middle East. “We are seeing good growth in lentils, and I believe canola was a record here last year as well,” Heney said. Projected grain handlings through the Port of Thunder Bay are expect-

ed to remain around eight million tonnes per year. Heney said Thunder Bay does not expect any negative impact as a result of expanded export capacity at other Canadian ports, most notably Vancouver. Limitations in westbound rail capacity should ensure stable grain volumes at Thunder Bay for the foreseeable future. The recent trend toward higher grain yields and greater productivity in the western Canadian grain sector should also contribute to steady grain volumes heading east, Heney added. Grain storage capacity at the Port of Thunder Bay is estimated at 1.2 million tonnes. brian.cross@producer.com

PILOT PROGRAM

Sask. ag worker course nixed KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A program designed to train agricultural workers and help alleviate a shortage of skilled labour on Saskatchewan farms did not continue beyond a pilot project stage. The Agricultural Operator Program was announced in 2014 as part of the provincial government’s growth plan. It was delivered by Parkland Regional College in Yorkton and, if successful, was to be expanded province-wide. However, the pilot was discontinued after 17 people participated in 2014 and only eight in 2015. “The uptake was very low,” said Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart. “With the tuition students would have paid if the classes were full, the cost would have been quite manageable, but they weren’t and so we haven’t done that this last year.” The first modules of seeding, spraying and scouting, and harvesting included both hands-on workshops and online training. Because of the low enrolment, the plan to develop livestock modules was never carried out. Stewart said a similar type of program could be revived if there was enough demand. The government had hoped that the program would attract new entrants to the agricultural workforce as well as help general farm labourers upgrade their skills. “We did a lot of advertising and we tried hard to get the word out, but we fell quite short of filling those classes,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

“We are proud that our customers have made AG Direct Hail the fastest growing hail insurance provider on the Prairies over the last three years” Bruce Lowe – CEO

Crop Hail Insurance Choices are Dwindling. With fewer competitors, farmers are researching their options. Below is a Q&A with AG Direct Hail Insurance CEO Bruce Lowe on the changing crop hail insurance landscape. Q: There is a lot going on in the crop hail insurance industry. What do prairie farmers need to know? Bruce: The most significant change is that there will be a lot less choice for private hail coverage this season. Hard-working prairie farmers will really need to do their homework to ensure they are making the most informed decisions. Q. There will be fewer options for private hail coverage? Can you expand on that? Bruce: Sure. Five companies that have provided crop hail coverage, some for decades, no longer exist. Prairie farmers will not have an option to purchase Butler Byers Hail Insurance, Henderson Hail Agencies, Farmers Hail Insurance Agencies, McQueen Agencies or Wray Agencies this season. Q: Who is left for farmers to choose from? Bruce: Beyond AG Direct Hail, the remaining choices for coverage will be Rain and Hail, Canadian Hail, Coop, and Palliser. Going from nine private hail insurance providers to just five is a significant shift. Q: Why should less choice concern farmers? Bruce: Less competition within any industry is typically not good for consumers. Having fewer companies competing in crop hail insurance coverage may impact both service levels and the timeliness of claims handling as well as possibly put upward pressure on rates. Companies that compete in an arena with few competitors tend to become complacent about the issues that matter most to producers. Q: How will all this affect your company (AG Direct Hail Insurance)? Bruce: It won’t. We have built a very loyal customer base through competitive rates, superior customer service, and quality,

professional loss adjusting. We remain completely focused on what has made us successful to date and will not waver on any facet of our business. We owe it to our customers to continue to exceed expectations as their hail insurance provider. Q: Doesn’t every company advertise “competitive rates”? Bruce: (Laughs) Yes, it’s one thing to say it, but it’s another to deliver on it. The AG Direct Hail business model is unlike that of other private hail insurance providers. Most notably, we do not use a middleman (broker) to sell our insurance. Farmers apply directly from us. Q: So AG Direct Hail doesn’t use a broker to complete an application for hail coverage? Bruce: When you buy from any other private line company, the broker is paid about a 12% commission to complete the policy. This means the first 12 cents of every dollar that a farmer pays for a policy goes back into the hands of the broker. With AG Direct, producers simply apply for coverage directly and online from us. Since we do not pay broker commissions, the savings are passed directly to producers in the form of lower premiums. Q: Are you saying that AG Direct Hail has the lowest rates? Bruce: Our goal is to save Prairie farmers an average of between 10 and 15% on their hail premiums. That said, our challenge is rating over 8400 townships, without knowledge of what rate our competition has in that same township AG Direct maintains a low-cost business model. In most cases we meet or exceed the expectations of our customers….. And when we don’t, our customers aren’t shy about calling to let us know. We appreciate their feedback.

Q: And how has this been working for AG Direct Hail? Bruce: We are proud that our customers have made AG Direct Hail the fastest growing hail insurance provider on the Prairies over the last three years. Our compelling rates, our relentless focus on customer service, and our professional, fair-loss adjusting have all been key to our success. We are exclusively backed by Allianz. It is one of the top insurance companies in the world with 78 million customers in over 70 countries. Allianz is a leader in cutting-edge insurance products. We are fortunate to have them as our exclusive re-insurance partner. Q: So how can a producer learn about AG Direct, check rates, and then apply? Bruce: Producers simply have to go to www.agdirecthail.com. They will need to register with an email and create a password. Registration is without obligation but is required before viewing our rates in the spring. Q: You also have a toll-free number? Bruce: Yes. We are available 7 days a week. Simply call us at 1 855 686-5596 and we would be pleased to speak to farmers who would like to know more. Q: Anything else that you would like to share with prairie farmers, Bruce? Bruce: With the utmost respect for farmers, I would urge them to research all of their options and not to get caught in the “auto-renew net.” Farmers tell me all the time that they meant to opt out of the auto-renew with certain companies but forgot and didn’t have a chance to take advantage of our rates and service.

CROP INSURANCE

Insurance information lacking on organics BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. would like more information from organic growers to make sure the program suits their needs. Dale Knouse, SCIC regional manager in Saskatoon, said the corporation has contracted SaskOrganics to do a monthly price survey so that it has more data. He said organic growers often insure their crops under the conventional program to avoid higher premiums. However, the corporation then has less information available. “Even with some of our fall surveys with the conventional program, we need to do price surveys to determine what quality factors to be put on the certain grades, and that’s becoming even more and more difficult as time goes on,” he told a workshop. “With organics there seems to be some times where there isn’t a lot of pricing data at all on certain crops.” SCIC has had a separate organic insurance program since a pilot began in 1990. About 375 producers insure more than 250,000 acres a year. The most common coverage choice is the base price option, which is a price published each March from a January forecast for the fall. Knouse said about 80 percent select this option.

Producers can also choose from the low price option, which provides the same yield coverage but at a price that is 15 percent lower to reduce premium costs. Organic growers can also sign up for the contract price option, which allows them to insure their crop for the actual price on a signed contract.

With organics there seems to be some times where there isn’t a lot of pricing data at all on certain crops. DALE KNOUSE SASKATCHEWAN CROP INSURANCE CORP.

Knouse said SCIC uses factors developed over the last 20 years to establish organic prices that are higher than conventional prices. For example, organic wheat and durum prices were 1.9 times over conventional from 1995 to 2011, flax was 2.6 times higher, oats 1.8 and lentils 2.5. He said this is the best officials can do without more price data. Knouse said premiums are 25 percent higher for organic crops based on historically higher claims. To calculate premiums, SCIC uses a simple calculation of premium rate percentage multiplied by the yield guarantee multiplied

by the price. For example, a five percent premium rate times a yield guarantee of 20 bushels per acre at $10 per bu. results in a premium of $10 per acre. As with the conventional program, the producer is responsible for 40 percent of the premium, while the federal government pays 36 percent and the province pays 24 percent. Knouse said producers who are deciding whether to insure a crop as organic or conventional should keep in mind the organic reseeding or establishment benefit that is automatically offered. For example, a crop that becomes so weedy that the producer wants to take it out of production can be removed and reseeded to a green manure or a cover crop. “The crop must be destroyed and reseeded to qualify,” he said, adding that the reseeding must be done by July 15. Establishment benefits are $25 per acre for cereals and flax, $40 for peas and $35 to $60 for lentils. He also reminded organic producers that conventional crop insurance doesn’t cover losses that would have been prevented with conventional management, such as excessive weeds. Producers who are transitioning from conventional to organic production must use the conventional program until they are certified. karen.briere@producer.com

However, when the agency releases its testing results, sometime in the next two months, the report will not contain detailed data on glyphosate residues in food. “The report will not include raw data, company or brand names,” a CFIA spokesperson said in an email. “The 2015-16 glyphosate testing report will include the number of samples and compliance rate for various food types … based on Canadian maximum residue limits.” The CFIA has tested a long list of food and grains for glyphosate, including juice, grain, grain products, beans, peas and lentils. The CFIA spokesperson said the agency is not publishing certain details for confidentiality reasons. “Information about individual companies and products are not included in the reports because the relationships between distributors and manufacturers of specific products may be confidential business information.” The CFIA study on glyphosate residues comes at a controversial time for the herbicide. Last year the European Union came close to banning it because of a scientific report from the World Health Organization. In March 2015, the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic” to humans. Many toxicologists have condemned the IARC decision because Health Canada, the European Food Safety Authority and numerous scientific organizations

have studied the herbicide and concluded it’s not carcinogenic and not a threat to human health. Nonetheless, despite the body of evidence showing it’s safe, the IARC report triggered lawsuits in the United States. Consumer and environmental groups are suing companies over glyphosate residues in food such as granola bars and honey. California may soon require that Roundup and glyphosate have a label saying it’s a cancer threat because of the IARC ruling. The CFIA decision to not publish all of its data is starkly different from government policies in the U.S.

Unlike Canada, the U.S. has laws requiring taxpayer funded research results to be available to taxpayers This month, the U.S. Geological Survey released a study on neonicotinoid insecticides in drinking water. It published its findings, with all of the data, in an academic journal. Scott Teed, a scientist and risk assessment specialist with Intrinsik, an environmental consultancy in Ontario, said the U.S. government is much more open with its scientific data than Canada. “The U.S. has laws in place that requires anything that’s taxpayer funded to be available to the taxpayers, which makes complete sense,” Teed said . The CFIA is planning to submit its study on glyphosate residues to a scientific journal this fall. An executive summary of the CFIA report on glyphosate residues will be released on its website, sometime this spring, through a Food Safety Testing Bulletin. robert.arnason@producer.com

COAT REMOVAL

INTERPROVINCIAL TRADE

Canada marks 150th birthday with internal trade agreement Groups say the agreement will have a major impact BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Critics say Canada’s new interprovincial trade agreement is marginally better than the old deal, but business owners don’t see it that way. Late last week the provinces and federal government unveiled what is being called the Canada Free Trade Agreement. The deal replaces the Agreement on Internal Trade, now more than two decades old, and was designed to align regulations between provinces and remove barriers to labour mobility. Andrew Coyne, National Post columnist, slammed the deal. He said it contains too many “limitations, caveats and exemptions,” which will continue to obstruct trade within a nation that should have a single and coherent market. Jonathan Alward, director of provincial affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business in Manitoba, has an opposite view. He said the agreement isn’t a small step forward. It’s a huge leap forward. “My colleagues from CFIB, across the country, have all been very adamant on that.” Alward said it will take time, in

some cases years, to sort out details of the agreement, but when finalized the Canadian Free Trade Agreement will have a major impact. “We’re going to see really just an incredibly comprehensive, transparent agreement that’s going to benefit small businesses and big businesses.” Alward said the deal features three key provisions: • mutual recognition • negative listing, where open trade is the default • an improved dispute resolution process An example of mutual recognition would be training. If someone earns a welding certificate in Ontario, the Canadian Free Trade Agreement says other provinces should recognize the training. “If a product or service complies with rules in one province (like) Saskatchewan, it should be considered acceptable in Manitoba, Ontario and onward,” Alward said. Under the old deal, provinces listed the goods and services eligible for free inter-provincial trade. The new agreement says everything is open for free trade, so provinces must list what they want excluded from the deal. The CFIB said this provision

would increase transparency and boost “the way small businesses will be able to trade.” Besides the CFIB, farm groups also praised the agreement. “Canada imports more than $47 billion in food from other countries, much of which is meat, grains and vegetables that Canadian farmers also produce right here at home,” said Dan Mazier, Keystone Agricultural Producers president. “Interprovincial trade barriers have too often made it easier for processors and retailers to import food from another country, than from another province.” Inconsistent trucking regulations, from province to province, is one obvious barrier to agri-food trade, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture said. “The agreement is structured to facilitate the flow of goods using an over-arching non-discrimination principle,” said CFA president Ron Bonnett. “This will ensure that technical aspects don’t create unnecessary barriers to trade within our own borders.” While there is much work left to do, the timing of the agreement is phenomenal, Alward said. The Canadian Free Trade Agreement is to take effect July 1. robert.arnason@producer.com

AGRIBITION RESULTS

Agribition officials satisfied despite dip in visitors, profits 124,000, down from 130,200. Lane said those numbers are on par with recent years. “I look far more at five, six, seven year trends from a revenue and attendance point of view rather than dips and valleys,” he said. A couple of records were set last year: 8,000 students were registered through the education program and more than 25,000 people attended the pro rodeo and jousting events. Livestock sales totalled $2.9 million, down from $3.4 million last year, but still the second highest in years. International attendance was up, and sales totalled $500,000. “Those buyers did more business at the 2016 show than they have done in the last four years com-

Profit and attendance were both down at Canadian Western Agribition last year, but organizers say they’re happy, considering the challenges the show faced. “2016 was the year of change,” chief executive officer Chris Lane said at last week’s annual meeting. It was his first year as CEO, the show had only partial use of the new International Trade Centre, it was the last year for Exhibition Stadium and pro rodeo returned. “That is a lot of new for any organization,” he said. The show turned a profit from operations of $745,852, down nearly $100,000. Attendance was

bined,” Lane said. Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said the economic spinoff of $56 million is great for the province. “Twelve hundred international guests last year, that’s incredible, and it’s an incredible economic

opportunity for not only the agricultural industry but other Saskatchewan businesses,” he told reporters. Organizers are working on events that will attract more people who might not ordinarily attend an agricultural fair. Lane said the popularity of last year’s running with the bulls event surprised him. “We’re trying to put together kind of a high adrenalin schedule for Saturday,” he said. Outgoing president Stewart Stone said Agribition needs to change as agriculture and the urban world change. “We’ve been working hard at making sure we adapt,” he said, adding the show will try to engage the urban community more.

Stone has spent 12 years on the board and said the facilities are almost all different now. “It’s remarkable what they’ve done on these grounds,” he said. “The (new) facilities actually change what we can do, and it opens up all new opportunities for us.” Lane said many people are interested in the story of how their food is raised and prepared, and show programming will continue to expand on that theme. “On the livestock side, the reputation of Agribition is as good as it’s ever been and only growing,” he said. The 2017 show runs Nov. 20-25. karen.briere@producer.com

Good genetics help make easy-care herd T-Bone Cattle Co. keen on DNA testing BY KAREN MORRISON

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MARWAYNE, Alta. — Art Wheat says it feels like Christmas when the bull catalogues start arriving at his farm in eastern Alberta. “I look for cattle that bend the curve,” he said, referring to cattle with low birth weights and high weaning rates. “I want lots of weight in the fall because I get paid on pounds.” He, with his partner and kindergarten teacher Kathy Kent, combine forces to operate T-Bone Cattle Co., renting and owning eight quarters of land and calving 300 cows in their commercial herd. They retain some heifer calves for breeding and steers, selling some of each in fall. As well, they favour

ART WHEAT & KATHY KENT Marwayne, Alta. low maintenance cows and avoid larger framed animals. “Art is very selective,” Kathy said. “We don’t want to touch anything if we don’t have to.” An easy-care herd begins with good genetics.

This day, son-in-law Justin Hozack is preparing hair samples from his bulls for DNA testing. He and Art’s daughter, Dr. Joan Wheat Hozack, have launched their own operation by buying land with Art and acquiring cattle. “We’re trying to figure out traits on the bulls, good and bad. Then we’ll know what we’ll use on our calves,” said Justin, who has worked on a sheep farm in New Zealand and a cattle farm near Calgary and has taken courses in artificial

insemination. It’s early days in the Wheat farm succession plan, but the couple currently resides on an acreage closer to Marwayne and keeps their animals at the family farm. Art’s three daughters pursue careers off the farm. Kate is helping on the farm while doing an instrumentation apprenticeship, while Joan is an orthopedic surgeon in Lloydminster and Jill is a lawyer in Edmonton. Kathy has two adult children who

are not involved in the farm. Over the years, family and friends have gathered to help with branding and cattle drives. “I like to move my cows slowly,” said Art, who uses horses almost exclusively for cattle chores. These days, Art trails cattle partway to distant pastures and trucks them the rest of the way because of increased traffic and lack of labour. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Kathy assists with farm chores, which can include checking cows, making ear tags, preparing medications and overseeing meals when large groups gather to help out on the farm or enjoy a barn dance and gymkhana. The farm’s origins date back to Art’s mother’s uncle, who came here from Ireland in 1903. Without children of his own, he passed the farm on to Art’s parents, Margaret and Frank, who operated a mixed farm here and raised six children. When Art started farming, he chose the T-Bone Cattle name because it’s memorable. “When you hear it, you associate it with cattle and ranching,” he said. Keen to farm from an early age, he prepared by studying farm and ranch production at Olds College and briefly did artificial insemination work on hockey legend Bobby Hull’s cattle farm near Winnipeg.

SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Our youngest daughter was in an accident while she was on her way to kindergarten on the school bus. The bus hit a soft spot on the side of the road and got pulled into a fairly steep inclination. There were a few bruises, two broken arms, scratches and cuts, but no one on the bus was seriously injured. Life since has not been the same for our daughter. She has gone from being a fun loving and independent little girl to a child who mopes, clings to her father and me and lays in bed at night awake rather than sleeping. We are not sure what to do about this. What would you suggest?

Your daughter may not have been physically hurt but the experience itself may have been traumatic for her. If she had it in her head that her life was in peril while the bus was slipping off the road, she was really scared. You need to help her deal with this. I suggest that you find someone in mental health services who deals with trauma in children. A good counsellor will help her resolve her fears while at the same time giving you a little guidance for her ongoing care. I am sure that you are tempted to talk to your daughter about the accident but you might find it preferable to save your family discussions with her until you have seen the psychologist. Talking to her about what happened could inadvertently traumatize her again. That is less likely with professional help involved. I also suggest that you and your husband become super parents for the next while. By clinging to you, your daughter is invoking that part of the parent-child unwritten contract that ensures that the two of you will protect your daughter against any and all harm. You are not responsible for the bus leaving the road but you are the ones who have to reconnect your daughter to a world that is imminently safe. That safety comes from the structure you have in your home that makes her life predictable and safe. Bed times need to be written in stone, the same time every night, and not compromised by sympathy. Your daughter needs to join the family at mealtimes and the mealtimes themselves should be as regular as possible. You have to get your daughter to school and she needs to spend time with her friends. Help your daughter feel safe and confident and provide her with with some sessions with a counsellor, and you could have that happy and confident little girl in your home once again.

FARM LIVING cattle online and young steer calves to a small family feedlot. He previously exported semen from a commercial bull to Ireland. The family is active in ranch rodeos and cow horse events such as reining, calf (chalk) branding, trailer loading of heifers and penning. Art said it’s a way to hone their skills and promote the horses they raise, train and sell. They have 25 brood mares, colts and yearlings, of which eight are used in their operation. “It’s all done with horses, we like to keep it that way,” said Art, who grew up riding horses. His daughters were also involved in 4-H light horse and cattle programs. “They knew more about horses than I did,” said Art. Kathy praised 4-H for instilling in participants a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility in caring for stock. The last two years have been decent for cattle, said Art, who cited BSE, poor cattle prices and drought among the farm’s many past challenges. He managed BSE simply by cutting spending. “It set you back,” said Art, citing deteriorating vehicles, equipment and corrals as a result of such austerity. No new genetics were introduced, and animals were also kept longer than they should have.

Justin Hozack, Art Wheat and Kathy Kent oversee DNA sampling on bulls at the T-Bone Cattle Co. farm near Marwayne, Alta. “We’re still working our way out of it,” he said. Off-farm activities for Art have included sitting on Alberta’s Livestock Identification Services board, serving as president of a local community pasture and belonging to a grazing group. Kathy said Art has much knowledge to impart to the next generation. “It’s a time in Art’s life when he’s ready to pass that knowledge on,” said Kathy. That includes a good eye for cattle. “He knows how to read them,

work them properly,” she said. The couple plan to be involved with the farm in some way for another five to 10 years, maybe with fewer cattle. They took a warm weather holiday this winter and think more of that may be in their future. “We may holiday more because Justin is here and we are able to get away,” said Kathy. “It’s hard to leave this property. Old ranchers are all the same,” said Art. karen.morrison@producer.com

Surgeon has farming in her blood Off-farm income gives horse loving couple ‘freedom to make changes faster’ BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LLOYDMINSTER, Alta. — Thursday proves to be the busiest day of the week for Dr. Joan Wheat Hozack, running between appointments at her orthopedic practice in the morning and surgeries at the hospital in Lloydminster in the afternoon. Living in a city was never an option for Wheat Hozack and her husband, Justin Hozack, both of whom are avid horsepeople who were raised and went to high school in rural Alberta. Since they returned after more than a decade of school in Calgary and a practicum in New Zealand for Wheat Hozack, they have acquired land and cattle and are currently renting land belonging to Hozack’s uncle near Marwayne, Alta. She said her timing was good because the health region had previously set up facilities for an orthopedic specialist, whose wife came and provided the city with a much needed pediatrician. That opened up an opportunity for Wheat Hozack to join the Meridian Clinic. Her work typically follows a Monday to Friday daytime schedule, with some on-call coverage on weekends. That allows time for riding horses and launching the farm enterprise, where her salary has been a great help. “Outside income makes it, as young entrepreneurs, easier to take some risks. It gives us a little more freedom to make changes

Dr. Joan Wheat Hozack is an orthopedic surgeon in Lloydminster. She returned to her home community of Marwayne, Alta., after more than a decade of schooling. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTO faster,” said Wheat Hozack. Added Hozack: “We can push the envelope on a few things because we don’t rely on the farm to be our sole income.” Their horsemanship is valued on the farm, where most chores are done while riding. “I grew up learning to ride and working cows with him,” said Wheat Hozack, who participated in 4-H beef and light horse clubs along with her two sisters. They want to continue to keep horses to ride when at the home farm, but the sisters do not have plans to farm.

A succession plan is in its formative stages with Wheat Hozack’s father, Art Wheat, but they said it’s financially too soon for them to take over the farm. “We keep track of the bills and settle up,” said Wheat Hozack, citing regular family meetings to discuss farm business. They hope to continue to work in tandem for several more years and benefit from Wheat’s years of experience in the business. “Those guys that are still kicking around have learned a thing or two,” said Hozack, citing Art’s use of a variety of bulls in his herd

over the years. “His cows are pretty typey. You can pick them out as one of Art’s cows.” His own efforts with breeding produced uneven results with 60 percent of his herd open this past year. That’s part of why Hozack is now doing DNA testing on bulls to know in advance what to expect and give them access to better genetics. Hozack said his wife has a better eye for cattle than he does. “She’s a little expensive to take to a bull sale,” he said. They plan to draw on the expertise of local professionals recommended to them by their families in accounting, insurance and banking in addition to lawyers such as Wheat-Hozack’s mother and sister. “It’s one of the nice things about coming home, the family ties,” said Hozack. “We have a guy for everything. We don’t know that, and we need that kind of help .… It’s only smart, so we’re not jeopardizing Art and not jeopardizing ourselves.” He once worked as a land agent in Calgary but craved country life. “I hated working downtown,” he said. “I would work downtown for four days and on the fifth day, I couldn’t wait to be gone.” He compared that to his next job on a farm near Calgary. “I’d work six days straight driving cattle and I got up everyday ready to go. That told me it was something I wanted to do.” karen.morrison@producer.com

ECHOES AND SENTINELS

Alberta century home set to be hub of activity BY MARIA JOHNSON FREELANCE WRITER

BLACKFALDS, Alta. — For settlers on the Canadian Prairies in the early 20th century, the Eaton’s catalogue was equivalent to today’s online shopping mall. Everything needed to fill a house, and even the house itself, could be ordered from the pages of the iconic mail order catalogue. One of these homes that dot the western provinces belonged to George and Mary Wadey of Blackfalds, Alta. A century later, the home that has been vacant for a decade has been moved and is being restored to house a tourist information centre as well as the Blackfalds and Area Historical Society, the Blackfalds Archives and Blackfalds Chamber of Commerce. George Wadey settled in central Alberta, coming from Esmond, Illinois, in 1911. He and fellow settler Frank Barnes purchased a quarter of land complete with a cattle shed, pig shelters and windmill. A house was needed so he selected the No. E19, the Eastbrook, in the Eaton’s catalogue. The millwork was shipped west via rail from Winnipeg and the lumber came from British Columbia. Wadey, a carpenter by trade, built the home in 1916 but modified the floor plan. Judy Carleton, president of the Blackfalds and Area Historical Society, said he added one more room on the main floor and adjusted the sizes of the three bedrooms upstairs. “The porch was his own add-on. It didn’t come with the package.” Wadey married Mary Hedemark in 1917, who came with her parents from Fort Ransom, North Dakota, in 1900. As well as raising three sons and a daughter, George and Mary ran a mail route and had cattle, sheep and pigs.

“Mary was the grande dame of Blackfalds,” said Carleton. She helped start or support countless local organizations and causes. Teachers often boarded at the Wadey home, which was located across from the school. “One time, Mary’s husband jokingly packed a suitcase for her and placed it on the back step with a note: ‘wanted: a wife who will stay home,’ ” Carleton recorded in Blackfalds’ history. That kept Mary home for a week. George passed away in 1942 and Mary carried on farming with the help of her sons. She died at age 98 in 1992. Mary’s son, Leslie, 88, resides in Red Deer. Carleton said the descendants of the Wadeys are pleased the house is being restored. “I’m getting quite a few old artifacts back,” she said. “I know the Wadey family. I know who to ask.” That includes a stained glass window, floor grates, a high boy dresser, an original crank telephone,

SPRING ARRANGEMENTS

Fresh arrangements provide blast of colour for Easter guests SOWING SEEDS

LORNA MCILROY

his is the time of year when green thumbs twitch. Serious gardeners will have petunias and pansies already in their third month of growth and windowsills across the Prairies hold a variety of tomato plants ready for outside planting in a month or two. For Easter, it is fun to plant wheatgrass or grains to provide living material instead of cellophane in your baskets. Consider also planting a miniature (fairy) garden. After the holiday, it can be easily re-styled to remain in your home. Local willow

and dogwood branches are good choices for decorating. The extra skilled may want to weave them into baskets or wreaths for Easter. It is not too early to design an outdoor planter. If you restrict yourself to hardy choices, your planter will survive a few degrees of frost and unexpected snowflakes. Pussy w illow branches add height and structure. Spring bulbs such as daffodils and tulips that you have forced into bloom, dug out of your flowerbed or purchased locally appreciate this cool environment. Pansies are cheerful and hardy and are already available at local greenhouses. Easter is an excellent time to introduce young family members to the magic of eggs hatching and newborn rabbits, calves, colts, lambs and piglets, preferably in an authentic farm setting. If you are colouring eggs this year, explore boiling safe, natural products. You can create a rainbow of hues with shredded beets for red,

yellow onion skins for orange, ground turmeric for yellow, spinach for green, blueberries for blue and red onion skins for purple. Don’t overlook brown eggs. Purple cabbage on brown eggs will produce green and yellow onion skins will result in red. A spoonful of vinegar in your dye solution will intensify the colour and a final rub

with vegetable oil will add a sheen. If you have family or friends that decorate eggs in the Pysanka style, do everything you can to preserve that skill. You may also want to follow a German tradition by displaying your decorated eggs on an Easter egg tree. Less common are eastern European Easter traditions of spanking with a decorated whip or Easter water fights in Poland. After an unpredictable winter season, we are all eager to embrace

spring. This Easter, take a deep breath of that fresh spring air, listen to the sound of running water and the calls of returning birds. My father insisted that if you looked closely enough, you would see the sun dance on Easter Sunday morning. I have yet to witness the dance but this year, I will take the time to look.

READERS’ QUESTIONS

Hearing aids best in twos; difference between depressed, sad HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I am going deaf in both ears, although one ear seems worse than the other. Do I need two hearing aids, which are expensive, or can I get away with just having one for the worst ear?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions in audiology clinics. Most audiologists will tell you that it is better to have

hearing aids in both ears because this gives you a more natural or stereo type of hearing. If you have two hearing aids, the degree of loudness is multiplied by two as well. With two, it is easier for the person to locate the source of the sound and if the person is speaking on your left or right. Background noise, which is a frequent complaint of hearing aid wearers, is reduced with two. Researchers have also found a small, but not significant, increase in clarity of about five percent with two hearing aids. A less well-known fact is that when a person with hearing loss goes several years without amplification to that ear, the hearing in the unaided ear can begin to deterio-

rate. This phenomenon is known as auditory deprivation. Studies show that 90 percent of deaf people will end up with two hearing aids being prescribed, but as many as 41 percent of them will end up only wearing one. Regarding prices, you need to do your homework and comparison shop because audiologists are also the people who sell the equipment and prices vary. You can also try bargaining or asking for lower priced models.

How can you tell if you have clinical depression or just plain sadness?

Sadness is generally a response to a bad situation, such as failing an examination or

losing a job, and generally resolves itself in less than two weeks. Depression is more serious and may require medication and/or some form of psychotherapy. It leads to a lack of interest in normal hobbies and activities, sleep disturbance and appetite gain or loss with accompanying change in weight. The sufferer is often preoccupied with morbid thoughts, often about death and illness, and may isolate themselves from friends and family. There may also be feelings of excessive guilt or unworthiness. Sometimes there are suicidal thoughts. As many as seven percent of the North American population have suffered a depressive episode in the past year.

Q: A:

Do smartphones affect sleep?

New research indicates that the blue light given off by smartphones and similar electronic devices may affect the quality of a person’s sleep. It appears that this blue light leads brain cells to believe that it is morning. Researchers have also discovered that some electronic e-readers may suppress melatonin and reduce the total number of REM sleep minutes. REM dreaming sleep is necessary for full restorative healthy sleep. It is better to stop using these devices an hour or two before bedtime.

Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs until cool. Once cooled, peel eggs and slice down the middle and then carefully remove the yolk to a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise and a small squirt of mustard to the yolks. With a fork, mash the mixture together until well combined. Gently spoon the yolk mixture into egg white halves.

CHOCOLATE Good news â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chocolate provides healthy, natural antioxidants with every square that melts in the mouth. Dark chocolate has the most flavonoids, milk chocolate has some and white chocolate lacks them altogether.

UNIQUE WAYS TO DECORATE EASTER EGGS It is always fun to prepare eggs for the upcoming Easter celebrations. All you need is some creativity and as many boiled eggs as you want to decorate. Kool-Aid Eggs Make the procedure easy and fun by using Kool-Aid drink crystals to colour your eggs. Use flavours with vibrant colours for dazzling eggs. Mix your colours by pouring the contents of 1 envelope of each Kool-Aid mix into separate containers. Add about 2/3 c. (150 mL) water to each, then stir to dissolve drink mix. Use spoon to place a hard-cooked egg in each cup, keeping egg submerged until desired colour is reached. Continue with remaining eggs. Let dry and display. Store in the refrigerator if you want them to keep for a longer period of time.

Marbled Nail Polish Eggs

everything it touches. In a well-ventilated area, prepare a surface to work on. Collect a few of your nail polishes, then fill a large disposable cup that you have on hand with room temperature water. If the water is too cold or hot, the polish wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work as well. Wearing disposable gloves, you can pour nail polish gently into the water. The more you put in, the more colour will stick to the egg. Swirl the polish around with a toothpick, then drop boiled eggs into the water for two seconds. Remove with your gloved hands or a set of tongs and place in an old egg carton to dry. Do not eat any eggs decorated with nail polish.

This method of decorating eggs is elegant but requires more caution because the nail polish will stain

Ombre Egg Place egg in a cup filled with onethird of colour. Leave for two to four minutes, depending on how dark you want it. Add a bit of water in increments, leaving each addition for two minutes. Continue adding water in increments and leaving to soak, repeating this step until completely submerged. White Crayon Eggs Before putting the egg into dye, draw a pattern on the shell with a white crayon. The wax in the crayon will prevent the dye from sticking to the egg, leaving a white pattern within your colour.

Nail polish is used to make these marbled Easter eggs.

50 YEARS AGO

NFU boycotts equipment buying to influence gov’t policy stabilization program. Cattle producers in the United States called the program an unfair subsidy and demanded that their government impose duties on imports. Canadian Cattlemen’s Association general manager Dennis Laycraft said dumping the stabilization program was definitely an option, while Alberta Agriculture Minister Ernie Isley said it would be better to switch than fight.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

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

Weyburn Inland Terminal in southeastern Saskatchewan started selling grain storage space to farmers, calling the 5,000 bu. storage units condominiums. Other grain companies were watching the Weyburn project with intent.

75 YEARS AGO: APRIL 9, 1942 Insect pests made it to the floor of the Saskatchewan legislature — not literally, of course, but grasshoppers, saw flies, cut worms and warble flies were part of a debate among MLAs. Agriculture Minister J.G. Taggart announced more funding to fight grasshoppers and said the government was looking for effective ways to combat saw flies. CCF MLA M.H. Feeley urged the government to make a serious attempt to stamp out the warble fly menace, which was causing heavy damage to livestock. The dominion government asked farmers to grow 20 million bushels of flax in 1942, which was three times as much as what was produced in the previous year. It was thought that an unusually

50 YEARS AGO: APRIL 13, 1967 Exporting and importing countries agreed to a one-year extension of the International Wheat Agreement. The agreement was established in 1962 and extended twice. It was based on a minimum of US$1.62 1/2 a bushel and a

maximum of $2.02 1/2, basis No. 1 Northern at the Lakehead. The National Farmers Union’s farmer boycott was officially launched. Producers were urged to sign pledge cards committing them to not buy new farm equipment “until government policies are implemented to ensure the social and economic well-being of farms.” NFU president Roy Atkinson urged non-NFU members to

join the boycott. Similar actions were reported in North Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Utah.

Farmers in Alberta’s Peace River district were worried about how much snow was still on their fields. Two and half metres of snow had fallen during the winter, and a metre was still on the ground. Farmer Bryan Woronuk said he wasn’t changing his seeding plans yet, but he was getting oat and barley seed ready just in case. Alberta Agriculture was reported to have suspended an employee for two months for sending an offensive email to a website supporting the Canadian Wheat Board. bruce.dyck@producer.com

ANIMAL WELFARE

Chicken sourcing focuses on bird welfare Fast-food chain commits to improving animal welfare with certification program for chicken production BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Tim Hortons is continuing a trend that’s quickly becoming the status quo, where fast food chains are shaping animal welfare policies in North America. The company and Burger King, which operate together as Restaurant Brands International (RBI), recently released a new sourcing policy for broiler chickens. In a collaboration with Global Animal Partnership (GAP), a farm animal welfare certification program, RBI said it would buy only from farmers who reduce the stocking density of chickens, improve light levels, have enrichments such as perches and offer better litter quality inside the barn. The policy takes full effect in 2024. The Tim Hortons-Burger King commitment adheres to policies already adopted by Starbucks, Quiznos, Chipotle and Panera, Mercy for Animals said in a statement. “(Its) commitment to improving the welfare of the chickens in its supply chain by meeting GAP standards will reduce the suffering of millions of chickens each year,” said Brent Cox, vice-president of corporate outreach with Mercy For Animals. “It should inspire other leading quick-serve restaurant chains to implement identical commonsense welfare improvements.” Darren Vanstone, corporate engagement manager for World Animal Protection, said the Tim Hortons’ commitment is huge for broiler welfare because the company is huge. “(It’s) a massive brand with a lot of different locations,” he said. “They’re a heavyweight.” Restaurant Brands International has more than 20,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries. The chicken sourcing policy applies to Burger King and Tim Hortons loca-

In the last few years, quick service restaurants have become proactive on animal welfare, announcing sourcing policies for things such as cage free laying hens and cage free pork. Given their scale, companies like Tim Hortons and McDonald’s have the power to influence farm practices because of the volume of meat that they buy and sell.

“These (restaurants) are making decisions on behalf of consumers,” said Mike Von Massow, a food agriculture and resource economics professor at the University of Guelph. “Whether it’s a full service restaurant and the server is telling you all about it (animal welfare or sustainability), or a quick service restaurant like A&W and they’re screaming it from the mountain

top … that is shaping people’s opinions of those attributes.” Some animal welfare experts are concerned that the fast food chains are usurping the power of organizations such as the National Farm Animal Care Council in Canada. The council develops codes of practice in a unique partnership in which producer groups, food processors, retailers and animal welfare groups jointly develop stan-

dards for raising livestock. Vanstone said the corporate leaders take the necessary steps before they adopt an animal welfare policy, and the overall impact has been positive. The retailers are listening to animal welfare groups, consumers and producers, and they want to do the right thing. “Just because we’re saying this is a better way of doing it, we’re not saying the NFACC codes are not meaningful and they don’t provide good welfare. We’re suggesting this (restaurant commitments) could provide better welfare.” Under its broiler rules, farmers will have to reduce their stocking density to sell chicken to Tim Hortons and Burger King. U.S. farmers can now have 44 kilograms (of broilers) per sq. metre of barn space, Vanstone said. “This will bring it down to about 30 (kg per sq. metre),” he said, adding Canadian regulations for density are already close to 30. “There are probably about 20,000 birds in a house.” The stocking density will probably have the largest impact on chicken farmers because more barns will be needed to produce the same number of birds. Animal welfare groups have long complained that broilers have a poor quality of life because they reach harvest age so quickly and their bodies don’t have enough time to develop, causing pain or discomfort. “They (are) processed at 39 to 42 days (of age), depending on the weight,” Vanstone said. “If you think of their tibia, they’re born with three centimetre tibias and by the time they’re done it will go to 11 cm…. It’s a really fast growth rate. Giving them something to jump up and down and walk on will allow them to increase their leg strength (and improve heart health).” robert.arnason@producer.com

ANIMAL WELFARE

Welfare standards already exceed certification requirements: CFA BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Chicken Farmers of Canada says its standards that ensure welfare for broiler chickens are higher than those in a certification program that Tim Hortons and Burger King have announced they will use. The two chains, part of Restaurant Brands International (RBI), recently announced that by 2024 they would buy chicken only from farmers certified by Global Animal Partnership (GAP), a U.S.-based program initiated in 2008 by Whole Foods Market. “Our standard we feel is much higher,” said Derek Janzen, vicechair of Chicken Farmers of Canada and a chicken farmer in Aldergrove, B.C. “It’s science-based and it’s put together by people like veterinarians, people in the processing busi-

ness and it’s actually been coded by NFACC (National Farm Animal Care Council.) We feel that we’ve got a very good program. “GAP is developed basically by animal welfare or activist groups and it’s … different than the program, our animal care program, that we’ve developed in Canada.” In a news release praising the policy change by RBI, Mercy for Animals said it would reduce the suffering of millions of chickens and is recognition that birds are abused during chicken production. “They are bred to grow so unnaturally fast that their legs often can’t suppor t the birds’ ow n body weight,” said Mercy for Animals. “Many suffer from constant leg pain so severe they cannot stand, and so they spend nearly all their time sitting in their own waste. Continual contact with wet litter

causes extreme feather loss and painful sores on the chickens’ bodies and feet.”

I’m not sure what the motivation or justification is, especially given that we do have a rock solid program in place. I’m not sure why they would be looking for something different. DEREK JANZEN CHICKEN FARMERS OF CANADA

The animal welfare group provided video of the conditions described. Janzen said the CFC rejects those descriptions and he questioned the source of the video.

“Frankly, we’re appalled at the things that they’re saying and the way that they’re trying to portray our chicken industry in Canada,” he said. “To see the conditions that they’re portraying and say that that’s the norm in Canada with canned footage from who knows when or even where, it’s just disgusting.” There are about 2,800 broiler chicken farms in Canada and an estimated 90 percent are family owned an operated, according to the CFC. Results of a recent third-party audit of its mandatory animal welfare program, conducted by the National Sanitation Foundation, indicated that it has been “implemented effectively and maintained on an ongoing basis.” Janzen said the independent audit should give consumers confidence in chicken welfare on Cana-

dian farms. “It has to bring some comfort on that level. We’re not policing ourselves. We’re bringing somebody else in, so when we say we’re doing a good job, we are doing a good job.” Janzen said he hesitated to comment on BNI policies, noting all food chains are under pressure from animal welfare groups. “I’m not sure what the motivation or justification is, especially given that we do have a rock solid program in place. I’m not sure why they would be looking for something different.” In a response to Mercy for Animals, the CFC issued a release noting Canadian broiler chickens are not caged and density limits ensure they have room to roam. It also noted litter is replaced after every flock leaves the barn. barb.glen@producer.com

GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION

Pulse official says new food policy better than carbon tax BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Gordon Bacon is urging the federal government to think differently about agriculture and climate change. Instead of a simplistic and punitive tax on carbon, Canada needs a food policy that addresses a broad swath of issues, including health care costs, environmental outcomes and economic prosperity. Bacon, who is chief executive officer of Pulse Canada, said a narrow focus on farm practices and greenhouse gases is the wrong approach. More attention should be paid to consumers. “Ingredient production (at the farm) is looking at only one variable. We also need to look at what people choose to eat and how the food they eat can be formulated and manufactured to reduce the (sector’s) contribution to greenhouse gas emissions,” said Bacon, who spoke March 30 to the standing Senate committee on agriculture and forestry, which is studying the impacts of climate change on agriculture. “We need to look at food solutions that are not only going to improve the health of the planet, but are also going to improve the health of the people.” The committee is holding hearings on far ming and climate change because Ottawa and the provinces are hashing out policies around greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told provinces to introduce a price for carbon or a cap and trade system by 2018. Otherwise, the feds will impose a price on carbon, starting at $10 a tonne of emissions in 2018 and rising to $50 a tonne by 2022. The government is hoping a carbon tax encourages farmers to innovate and produce food with fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Bacon was one of three industry representatives who addressed the Senate committee. Cereals Canada president Cam Dahl and Phil de Kemp of the Barley Council of Canada also spoke at the meeting. Dahl and de Kemp emphasized familiar issues within the ag sector: • Other grain export countries and regions, such as Australia, the United States and Black Sea producers, don’t have a carbon tax, so Canadian farmers would be at a competitive disadvantage. • Canadian growers have and are taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through conversation tillage and precision use of crop inputs. • Farmers should be compensated for carbon that they sequester in the soil. • A carbon tax would curb growth in the ag sector, damaging a key driver of Canada’s economy. Bacon mostly avoided those arguments. In his 50 minutes before the committee, he talked about a food policy that is broader than penalizing methane from cows and nitrous oxide from soil. “Carbon pricing does not address issues like growing health care costs associated with the rising rates of obesity and the related diseases,” he said. Instead, giving consumers tools to choose healthy and sustainable

food could improve the health of Canadians, expand the economy and protect the environment.

encouraging companies and consumers to make informed choices.” Industry leaders are already mov-

Knowing the environmental impact of producing a food can lead to better choices, says Gordon Bacon Canada’s Food Guide is one potential information tool. “The Swedish food guide says on page two, ‘what you eat isn’t just important to your own personal well-being, it’s important to the environment as well,’ ” Bacon said. “We can calculate the greenhouse gas reduction that could be achieved through food reformulation and dietar y innovation, through sourcing from sustainable cropping systems in Canada and

ing toward food that is sustainable. Companies such as Unilever, Walmart and PepsiCo have adopted sustainability protocols, in which they will buy only grain, oilseeds and other ingredients from farmers who use less fertilizer and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Yuen Pau Woo, a senator from British Columbia, challenged Bacon’s idea of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture through “moral suasion.”

Society and the environment would benefit if Canadians ate more peas, lentils and other healthy food that have minimal environmental impacts. However, a carbon tax could push consumers in that direction. “The price mechanism is the best way to get at changing consumer behaviour without making normative judgments about whether your meat diet is harming the planet,” Woo said. “If we can capture all the (costs) of carbon emissions in the supply chain and have it show up in the price, it’s more likely to influence consumers than anything else.” Bacon disagreed. He said taxation is a blunt instrument. If Canadians would make different choic-

es if they knew how a certain food affected the environment. “I think we’re underestimating the ability of consumers to make informed (decisions),” he said. “And we’re underestimating the role of government to provide leadership in a food transformation.” Bacon said such a transformation could produce a new global brand for Canada, where the country is seen as the “healthy people, healthy planet food basket” for the world. The country should act swiftly on a food policy that targets health, environmental and economic outcomes because it is 20 years behind other western nations, he added. robert.arnason@producer.com

CHEMCHINA PURCHASE

EU approves Syngenta sale BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — ChemChina has won conditional European Union antitrust approval for its $43 billion bid for Swiss pesticides and seeds group Syngenta, a deal that could help China boost its domestic agricultural output. The deal is one of several reshaping the agricultural chemical and seed market, even as these deals trigger fears among some farmers that bigger, more powerful suppliers could be better placed to push up prices and economize on developing new herbicides and pesticides. The European Commission said April 5 that planned asset sales would address its competition concerns. “It is important for European farmers and ultimately consumers that there will be effective competition in pesticide markets, also after ChemChina’s acquisition of Syngenta,” European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said. ChemChina will sell a large portion of its subsidiary Adama’s pesticide, herbicides and insecticides business, its seed treatment products for cereals and sugar beet and a substantial part of its plant growth regulator business for cereals.

American Vanguard said it struck a deal with Adama to acquire three crop protection product lines. Bernstein Research analyst Jeremy Redenius said that because Adama focuses on established crop chemicals that have lost patent protection, potential buyers of other assets would likely be from the same industry segment, such as FMC Corp., Nufarm and Sumitomo Chemical. Redenius said BASF was unlikely to bid because of its focus on patented substances. Syngenta said the EU’s go-ahead was a major step toward closing the transaction, expected in the second quarter of this year. Some of Syngenta’s pesticides will also be put on the block. The world’s No. 1 pesticide maker sells its products in more than 90 countries under such brand names as Acuron, Axial, Beacon and Callisto. It sells seeds such as cereals, corn, rice, soybeans and vegetables. U. S. a n t i t r u s t a u t h o r i t i e s approved the deal a day earlier on the condition that ChemChina divests three products. The EU approval came a week after it cleared the $130 billion D ow C h e m i c a l a n d Du Po nt merger in return for hefty asset sales, including global research and development facilities.

Studies show resulting litters may have lower birth weights, growth problems and poor quality meat if sows are stressed during gestation. | FILE PHOTO REPRODUCTION RESEARCH

Low birth weights affect productivity Offspring with higher birth weights reach puberty faster, live longer BY MARY BAXTER FREELANCE WRITER

Pig researchers are finding that birth weight can have significant impact on an animal’s reproductive performance in later life. And that’s not all, said Mark Estienne, a Virginia Tech pig physiologist. “The way the sows are managed in gestation can also impact future reproduction in the gilts that are farrowed by those sows,” he told producers attending Ontario’s London Swine Conference held in March. Estienne described the need to increase sows’ longevity as one of the biggest challenges facing the hog production. “Fifty percent, 60 percent of our sows on commercial farms are culled each year,” he said, calling the lack of longevity terrible. “We have got to get that worked out.” Ensuring an animal produces at a high level throughout its lifetime is another important goal. Selecting for animals that produce offspring with higher birth weights and careful management may be ways to achieve both goals. Estienne cited recent studies that show pigs with lower birth weights reach puberty later than their heavier counterparts. Low birth weight pigs (a condition referred to as intrauterine growth retardation) will also show more growth problems, have a more difficult time surviving and present more carcass and pork quality problems after slaughter, he said. In contrast, research indicates

that a greater percentage of pigs with a heavier birth weight will reach six farrowings and therefore live longer than those with a low birth weight. Achieving higher birth weights, however, faces an unusual challenge. As pig litter size increases, the proportion of both individual piglets and whole litters born with low birth weights also increases. Research, some as recent as in 2016, shows that 15 percent of sows will have litters with low birth weights.

MARK ESTIENNE PIG PHYSIOLOGIST

The tendency to produce animals with lower birth weights can carry into future generations, he added. A study from Virginia Tech also indicates poorer pre-weaning survival rates of litters produced by gilts whose dams were under heat stress during gestation. Researchers hypothesize that “enhanced secretion of maternal cortisol” stimulated by the stress is to blame, Estienne wrote in the paper that accompanied his presentation. Gilts born from stressed sows also showed delays in the age when estrus first occurred.

Even the use of crates has an impact. Results from a 2010 study showed that gilts reached puberty later if they came from sows that had been kept in crates throughout gestation, compared to those whose dams gestated in group pens or spent only the first 30 days after mating in crates. Estienne noted several new technologies that also promise breeding productivity improvements. Post-cervical artificial insemination cuts time and reduces the number of sperm cells needed compared to the more traditional intracervical artificial insemination. A new product released in the United States that induces ovulation increases the probability of fertilization in some instances, reduces the number of artificial insemination treatments and consequently reduces the labour involved in insemination and predicting estrus. There have also been improvements in farrowing rates and litter sizes through the use of frozen semen, he said, referring to one study that looked at data over four years from a 1,800-sow farm in the U.S. But to capitalize on the new technology, the production unit has to change, he said. “You’ve got to have an animal that fits the system,” he said. “There is a lot of stuff that we still need to learn, that we still need to manage at the pig level in order for us at some point to be able to fully capture the benefits of these new reproductive technologies that have been developed and are going to be developed.”

BUILDING YOUR BULLET

It makes economical sense to reload firearm cartridges OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

eloading cartridges for your firearms can be a financially rewarding and personally satisfying effort. Reloading is the process by which you assemble your own firearm cartridges from the components of projectile, propellant powder, primer and casing. Rifle cartridges comprise a bullet, smokeless powder, primer and metallic case. Brass is a common metal for rifle cases. Shotgun cartridges usually comprise several projectiles, a plastic wad to separate the projectiles from the smokeless powder, a primer and a plastic case. Many off-the-shelf cartridges are available on the market. They are easy to buy and immediately use. Reloaded cartridges can be less expensive over time, customizable to better suit the characteristics of a particular firearm and have consistent quality. A reloaded cartridge for one of my dear hunting rifles, which is chambered for .30-06 Springfield cartridges, costs 15 to 55 percent less than a comparable off-the-shelf cartridge. Getting into reloading requires investment in equipment and knowledge. You get what you pay for, but a reloading book and starter kit can be bought for around $250. Reloading really becomes economical only when you are shooting often because of the initial cost.

I shoot often enough to make up for the investment and can shoot more often on the same budget because of the savings per cartridge. Two firearms may be the same make and model, but subtle variations in their construction and materials will cause them to favour different cartridge loads. One firearm may perform better with a projectile or propellant that is different from the other. I have disassembled several name brand cartridges and found differences in the amount of propellant used, which negatively affects the power and precision of the projectile. The powder difference was less in more expensive name brand prod-

ucts, but then the cost per cartridge became very expensive. Reloading gives control over the physical characteristics of cartridges to better suit each firearm. The quality control of reloaded cartridges can be better than their mass manufactured counterparts. Each step in reloading a cartridge can be carefully measured and double checked to ensure consistent quality. Variances can be easily identified and corrected so that shooters can be confident in the predictable nature of their cartridges. Kim Quintin is a Saskatoon outdoor enthusiast and knife maker.

People curious about the name or nature of plants, animals and insects they encounter in Alberta may soon have a quick way of getting and giving information. The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) expects to launch a smartphone app and website called NatureLynx in early summer. Joelle Chille Cale, citizen science co-ordinator with ABMI, told those at the March 29 Southern Alberta Land Trust Society meeting that citizen science will help the institute better understand the breadth of species and improve citizens’ knowledge of the natural world. People can take a photo of the species with their phone and post it to www.naturelynx.ca, which will act as a central database for publicly generated biodiversity data. Users can have the subject of their photo identified and verified by experts and potentially participate in biodiversity related research. The app and site are still being tested but Chille Cale said they are expected to be available for use in coming months.

AGTRON TECHNOLOGY

Seeder section control gets upgrade Sensors were not equipped for section control technology and often signalled false alarm blockages BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — The innovation that allowed precise on-off control of drill sections solved a host of overlap and miss problems during seeding, but it also created a few new problems. Section control for seeding equipment was met with great fanfare when it first appeared on the scene. It enabled operators to have their GPS shut off specific sections while turning in headlands or seeding around potholes and other obstacles. The new anti-overlap technology reduced seed and fertilizer input costs. Headlands grew better crops because they no longer suffered from too much fertilizer. As a spin-off, the amount of excess fertilizer flowing into waterways was probably reduced. That was a significant public relations benefit. But there was a problem. The blockage sensors available on the market at that time did not lend themselves to section control technology. This resulted in blockage messages that were wrong and a nuisance beeping in the cab for the operator. If a section was shut off, sensors told operators to stop and fix the blockage. Operators began to lose confidence in the sensors. Agtron Enterprises has developed a solution with a new technology called Section Aware (SA) for its line of Legend monitors. The Legend SA module connects to the control system of the drill. The information provided by this hookup lets the Legend SA know which sections are active and which have been shut down. Operators no longer hear annoying warnings about a problem that doesn’t exist, said Agtron’s Kris Kennedy. “We actually tie directly into the air drill section control, so the Legend SA knows when a section turns

off. Those sensors know that they should not sound an alarm,” said Kennedy. There’s another problem at seeding time. Drills shake, bounce and vibrate, and wires become disconnected. Farmers may get a blockage and not know it until the next morning when they’re checking the machine. Or they might not realize it until after the crop has emerged. Kennedy said Agtron has a fix for that as well. “That’s a benefit of the Legend SA system. The loop has bi-directional communications. The signals make a complete circuit in both directions, so if a connection comes loose, the Legend SA instantly tells you exactly which run so you can fix it. “Another factor is ease of installation. The detectors are linked in a daisy-chain fashion. That means that one sensor is simply plugged into the one beside it all the way along the drill. Each sensor has its own electronics to determine its position in the system.” He said the sensors use infrared energy. They can read flow rates and operators can use the Seed Rate Wizard to confirm fertilizer rates and seed rates. Each drill has one loop dedicated to seed and one loop dedicated to fertilizer. On a drill with 10 sections, each loop has the ability to monitor up to 120 sensors. If the seed loop handles 120 sensors and the fertilizer loop handles another 120 sensors, the total is 240

Installing the Legend SA is easy, according to Kris Kennedy. The sensors are connected in a daisy chain manner, meaning that each sensor simply plugs into the neighbouring sensor, all the way along the entire width of the drill. Where the the two daisy chains meet in the middle, they plug into the Legend SA module transmitter shown here. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS

monitored runs. When asked if 240 runs are necessary, Kennedy conceded that it is overkill, but he added it may be required by some farmers in the near future. Kennedy said farmers can access the data in different ways. They can go wireless to the Agtron monitor or go wireless to an Android or Apple tablet. If the tractor has ISOBUS, you can tie into that. A Windows 10 app is expected to be available soon.

The screen capture shows seven sections with one sensor per section. Section 1, purple, is off and the sensor is not detecting any seed. Section 2, blue, is also off, but that sensor is still detecting seed. The rest of the sections, green, are all seeding correctly. “Price all depends on the size of the drill and what the farmer wants to monitor. Is it tow between or tow behind? Prices can range from $4,000 to $25,000.

“On those big 86 foot drills with 86 seed runs and 86 fertilizer runs, a full system with all the options will run about $19,000.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

ORGANIC RESEARCH

Need nitrogen? Fababeans an excellent choice in rotations Specialist says fababeans offer better disease resistance than peas and lentils and are frost tolerant BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Organic farmers who are looking for the biggest nitrogen gain from adding a pulse to their rotation might want to consider fababeans. Saskatchewan provincial special

crops specialist Dale Risula told a recent workshop for organic producers that while all pulses fix nitrogen, fababeans are at the top of the list, followed by peas, soybeans, lentils and chickpeas. Adding a pulse to rotations can help break disease cycles while improving the soil.

At the same time, disease in pulses because of wet conditions the last few years is a problem. Aphanomyces root rot is a particular concern. “Other than pea and lentil, which are both susceptible, you might want to start thinking about something like chickpea or fababean,

which are both resistant, and soybean, which is a non-host to aphanomyces,” Risula said. Fababeans actually like wet feet and are grown mostly in the black soil zones of east-central and northeastern Saskatchewan, but crop insurance is available province-wide and research has found

good yields in other soil zones. Risula said interest in the crop has grown since 2013 because companies are interested in fractionating, but that market is still in development. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

CONSTRUCTION

Manitoba takes farm building legislation back to the future BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

New Manitoba legislation that covers farm building construction builds on Saskatchewan and Alberta foundations. Pent-up demand for new and renovated livestock barns and other farm buildings in the province is likely now that inappropriate regulations have been removed, says the provincial government and farm industry leaders. It allows Manitoba farmers to construct buildings to similar standards as those required in Saskatchewan and Alberta. “It’s allowing Manitoba producers to modernize and renovate their buildings,” said Dan Mazier, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers. “Even existing structures, they were very handcuffed.” Manitoba’s new Progressive Conservative government announced at the end of January that it was repealing the existing Manitoba Farm Building Code and adding a section to the general Manitoba Building Code to cover farm buildings. The changes will bring most Manitoba farm building regulations in line with those of the National Farm Building Code, which is the

basis of most farm building regulations. Under the previous NDP government, farm buildings had been required to follow many of the regulations governing manufacturing or commercial buildings that were built to house numerous people rather than chickens, cattle, pigs and other livestock. Agricultural sector unique Farmers have argued that many rules based on keeping workers safe in an industrial setting don’t make sense in farm buildings, where operations and environmental conditions are starkly different. “If you just looked at the design of what made sense for humans, it didn’t make sense for livestock,” said Mazier, noting that fire control materials and layouts that are best for a humid barn sometimes couldn’t be employed. According to the provincial government, the changes will: • create a classification of “lowhuman occupancy” building for “most types” of farm buildings, lowering the requirements for systems such as full fire alarm systems • allowing buildings to be grouped closer together to meet operational needs

Interest in fababeans as a rotation crop is growing and can help break disease cycles, says a soil scientist. | FILE PHOTO

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Most of the fababeans grown in the province are low-tannin feed varieties such as Snowdrop and Snowbird. “I think the reason for that is they’re small compared to the food types, which tend to be a little bit bigger,” Risula said. Egypt is the main buyer of food types. Livestock producers looking for fababeans want a constant supply, and that is an issue, he said. The two types shouldn’t be grown close together because they are open pollinated. Fababeans offer good spring frost tolerance and standability. Risula said a Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute survey of fababean growers found they recommended decreasing ground speed while seeding, seeding in two passes, using extra coarse options for metering, screening out the largest seeds, removing block-

age sensors, increasing air speed and watching for sagging hoses where blockages could occur. Fababeans need considerably more phosphorous than some other crops. Sixty pounds of phosphorous are needed to obtain a 50 bushel per acre yield. “They tend to like to use existing fertility and not fertility that’s added with the seeding operation,” Risula said. Only one-quarter of the flowers will actually form pods, he added, likely because of a lack of pollinators and/or heat stress.

GRAIN STORAGE

Moisture meter targets grain loss in developing world Low-cost moisture testers help prevent spoilage BY TERRY FRIES FREELANCE WRITER

American researchers have developed a new test to measure moisture in stored grain. While a wide variety of other moisture testers are already on the market, this one is specially designed for its low cost and ease of manufacturing. Paul Armstrong, lead scientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Research Service, said the Post Harvest Loss meter is as accurate as low-cost meters now on the market but not as good as the high quality ones available. He said the ability to easily mass produce a large number of the PHL meters make them a good fit for use in developing countries. “As designed, it works well for measuring bulk samples,” he said in an email.

“It should be very cheap to produce in mass quantities. The sensor is very stable and replacing it can be made very easy.” Research has focused on use in the developing world, but it could also work for testing grain in bags in the industrialized world. The hand-held unit, costs about $100 to make, can be made with readily available parts and requires no special equipment. Users insert a probe attached to the device directly into a bag of grain. After about six minutes, readings appear in a display window. The meter measures the relative humidity and temperature of the air in the grain — two main factors used to estimate moisture content, said Armstrong, who developed the meter with his colleagues at Kansas State University. They have concentrated their

Grain there is usually stored in bags to keep out mould and insects. During the wet season, Ghana can see 30 percent losses in grain moving from field to table, mainly because of mould, but insects also play a role. The country can experience as much as 20 percent crop loss during the dr y season, although Armstrong cautioned that those

numbers are drawn from his memory and may not be exact. Farmers in Ethiopia, Guatemala and Bangladesh are also evaluating he the PHL meter. Armstrong said the unit could also be used in the silos and grain bags used in North America. In fact, he previously worked with OPI Systems to develop a cabled system that works on the same sensor concept.

He said the PHL meter has been used mostly in corn, soybeans and chickpeas, but it can be used for all major grains and legumes. Armstrong and his co-workers are continuing to work on the meter to extend its battery life, add smartphone connectivity and reduce costs. Terry Fries is a freelance writer based in Summerland, B.C.

SOIL RESEARCH

Soil compaction from cattle grazing minimal, nutrients beneficial: study RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Soil scientist says “negative impacts are unlikely to occur” if cattle grazing is done properly. | FILE PHOTO

Grazing cattle on corn stubble will cause severe compaction and lower yields, right? Wrong. In f a c t , g ra z i n g m ay e v e n increase yield, according to a 16-year University of Nebraska research project. Logically, we assume that a 1,200 -lb cow concentrates a lot of pressure on small soil patches beneath the hooves. However, Humberto Blanco, a soil scientist

M A K E Y O U R O W N G E T AWAY STOP DREAMING

in the university’s agronomy department, says cattle can’t do much to compact common soil if they’re grazed responsibly. Research, published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal, hoped to determine how badly soil quality and crop yields would be affected by grazing cattle on corn stubble left in the field in fall and spring . “Our hypothesis at the beginning was that we were probably going to see negative effects on soil properties due to grazing, but our data did not show that. We did not see many negative effects,” Blanco said. “We were looking at soil ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are indicators of healthy soil. It includes compaction and soil structural properties, as well as microbial community structure. We match these properties with corn and soybean yields to gauge whether any changes in the soil properties affected crop outcomes. “We did not see any negative effects of grazing residues on soil properties, except compaction. Compaction increased with grazing as expected, but it was not high enough to reduce yields.” Blanco said this is good news, especially because they used a “worst-case scenario” in their springtime grazing with more cattle on the field than would ever be considered prudent. The team put cattle in no-till corn fields after harvest in the fall and in spring before planting. They were able to measure only slight soil compaction, even with more cattle

than what experts would recommend on wet spring soil. Fall and winter grazing, when the ground was frozen, did not compact soil.

Compaction increased with grazing as expected, but it was not high enough to reduce yields. HUMBERTO BLANCO SOIL SCIENTIST

Blanco thinks grazing corn residues may have a slightly positive impact on the soil microbial community because grazing leaves more residues on the ground compared to clearing the field with machinery. Plus, microbe-rich manure adds nutrients to the soil. There is a drawback. Although there was very little compaction in the grazed fields as a whole, compaction was more significant in the small areas near water tanks. “If a producer is following proper recommendations and doesn’t put animals on the field when the soil is wet, negative impacts are unlikely to occur.” The study specifically considered irrigated fields under a no-till cornsoybean rotation. The fields had silt-loam soil, which is typical in the U.S. Midwest. The length of the study makes it the first long-term experiment of its kind to measure the effects of cattle grazing residues on various aspects of soil health. ron.lyseng@producer.com

TILLAGE

Wet spring seeding spawns innovative implements Just as equipment once evolved in prairie drought, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implements are evolving for mud BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Until the last decade, farmers bought equipment developed for dry prairie. However, Mother Nature turned the tables on us, so the mantra of â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-pass seedingâ&#x20AC;? changed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-pass seed bed preparation.â&#x20AC;? Moisture preservation is no longer the name of the game. Manufacturers are adapting to the new demand for implements that handle wet prairie conditions. For example, Bourgault recently introduced two new field preparation machines in time for spring seeding: the SPS 360 Soil Prep System and the XR 770 eXtended Range Harrow. The new soil preparation machine was spawned by decades of wet seeding conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although no-till is the norm across the majority of the prairie grain region, a significant portion of the region has moved from a drier trend to a wetter trend. As a result, farms have added tillage back into the farming process,â&#x20AC;? said the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jason Kirsch.

Tillage is a necessary tool to reclaim low overgrown areas, prepare a seed bed in rutted fields, reduce high residue conditions and address weed pressure â&#x20AC;Ś JASON KIRSCH BOURGAULT

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tillage is a necessary tool to reclaim low overgrown areas, prepare a seed bed in rutted fields, reduce high residue conditions and address weed pressure from field horsetail, foxtail barley and the like.â&#x20AC;? He said the company is also finding a need for solutions where saturation has become common. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tillage can help in increasing aerobic activity in the soil for the upcoming crop,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farms are doing a great job of addressing this tillage requirement by selectively tilling fields or by choosing the tillage option that

meets the need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is apparent as the amount of tillage in southern Alberta and Montana has been in select areas, whereas, to the east, in the Red River Valley, no-till has been and continues to be used selectively.â&#x20AC;? The SPS 360 employs cutting coulters, heavy-duty shanks, harrows and rolling baskets. Together, the tools cut, distribute and incorporate residue while busting clumps, re-levelling and firming the soil. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available in 40-foot and 50-foot working widths. The notched 20-inch diameter straight coulters, which size the straw, are on 12-inch centres. They are mounted on hydraulically actuated rockshafts with rubber torsion elements to transfer the force required in cutting heavy straw. The rubber mounts provide shock absorption when hitting rocks. The coulters can be lifted and locked out when not required. The shank tr ips are also on 12-inch centres in line with the coulter disks to minimize residue hanging on the shanks. The shank section hydraulic trip springs provide up to 1,000 pounds trip force. This capacity, combined with a rigid frame, ensures consistent penetration in the hardest soil conditions, should dry soils become an issue. The machine is designed to accommodate anhydrous ammonia and liquid fertilizer without modification. An optional air kit for granular application is available for both 6000 and 7000 series air seeders. The trips can be lifted and locked out during operation. The harrow sections are arranged in four-foot to eight-foot wide sections with reinforced mounts to cope with aggressive higher speed operation. The parallel harrow arm maintains the angle of the harrow gang as the height is adjusted. The operator has a choice of three-bar heavy-duty harrows equipped with .5 by 20 inch tines or four-bar standard harrows with 7/16 by 16 inch tines. The finishing section uses 14-inch diameter rolling baskets to level the soil, leaving a firm uniform soil surface. The basket surface has eight one-inch diameter rods on a spiral profile. The in-cab hydraulic control allows the opera-

The new XR 770 eXtended Range Harrow is adjustable to adapt to a wide range of field conditions and is available in 70 and 90 foot widths. | BOURGAULT PHOTO tor to adjust down force in the field on the go or lift the baskets completely. The SPS 360 is built on a six-inch by four-inch frame engineered to take the abuse of working at speeds up to 8.5 m.p.h., where the system performs the best. Parallel arm front casters and rear walking axles increase strength and obstacle clearance. The flotation tires are 21.5 x 16.1. Rear main frame tires are 16.5 x 16.1 for improved load rating in transport. Uniform fields The XR 770 eXtended Range Harrow introduces an engineering initiative that sets it apart from other harrows. In-cab Adjustable Down Force uses hydraulics to provide down-force or up-force to each harrow section. The operator creates a uniform field finish even in extreme contoured fields. ADF ensures that the down force of each harrow section is constant regardless of contour position, is isolated from other adjustments and is easily adjustable by the operator. The 770 can provide the different kinds of field finish delivered by anything from a light harrow to a heavy harrow but all with the same machine. It expands the range of field conditions in which it can operate and still do a good job. The ability to work in tougher conditions extends the working hours and acres covered per day. The 770 has an eight-inch by eight-inch fixed height frame with independent 10-foot wide sections connected to the booms with parallel arms. There are seven rows of .5 by 22 inch tines spaced to create 1.4 inch spacings. Farmers can choose between carbide treated tines on the first two rows or on the entire unit. Each 10-foot harrow section has 26 inches of independent vertical travel for uniform results in extreme contouring land. The main frame tires are high flotation 21.5 x 16.1. There are 13.5 x 15FI duals on the wings, mounted in-board to avoid field hazards. Hydraulically controlled boom

wheels let the operator reduce the distance needed to fold and unfold the unit. An optional hydraulic jack lets the operator line up the harrow tongue to the tractor hitch. The XR 770 is available in 70-foot

and 90-foot working widths. The design builds off the durable cart, boom, auto-fold system and double acting cable design of the Bourgault 7200 Heavy Harrow. ron.lyseng@producer.com

ANIMAL WELFARE STUDY

Humane housing top consumer concern Ethical consumerism involves purchasing products believed to be raised in a humane and sustainable manner BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

COLUMBUS, Ohio — There is a shift toward ethical consumerism in the developed world with more people asking pointed questions about animal welfare and sustainable farming. “Once people have food security, they can afford to think about how their food is produced and how animals are treated in the process of becoming food,” said Candace Croney, director for the Centre for Animal Welfare Science at Purdue University. Consumer demands about animal treatment on farms have challenged scientists and ethicists to think about how livestock production might be improved. “We do have significant animal welfare issues involving virtually every aspect of livestock and poultry production,” she said at the National Institute of Animal Agriculture’s annual meeting, which was held in Columbus April 3-6. “It is highly contentious in the United States and in every developed nation at this point.” One of the most polarizing issues is housing for pigs and poultry. Purdue research in 2014 asked people about practices such as sow confinement, use of farrowing crates, tail docking, teeth clipping and ear notching. Housing emerged as the greatest concern for the public. Further, the survey found 14 percent of respondents said they decreased their pork consumption in the past three years, primarily because of animal welfare concerns. Those eating less pork reduced consumption by more than half. “If you are a member of the pork industry, that should concern you,” she said during a day devoted to animal welfare discussions. The survey found the greatest

concerns were among Democrats, women and younger people. Less concern was voiced by consumers from the Midwest, those living in rural areas and those with no information about animal welfare. While nearly half said the greatest attributes for eating pork were food safety and taste, 15 percent said they ranked animal welfare as an important consideration. “We think this reflects a movement toward ethical consumerism.

CANDACE CRONEY CENTRE FOR ANIMAL WELFARE SCIENCE

People are trying to express their values in the marketplace by their purchasing with attempts to purchase products they believe do the least harm, ” Croney said. “Food has become more than just sustenance, reiterating we only have this conversation in relatively affluent countries.” Sow housing comes in many forms, and each has its advantages. Options include conventional stalls, free access stalls, bedded group housing, pastures, hoop barn and group pens on concrete slabs. Some are not economically feasible or could lead to more predation, diseases or aggression among pigs. Science has constraints because it can answer some welfare questions, such as how well pigs perform under certain systems, but it cannot describe an acceptable quality of life for an animal because that is an ethical position. There needs to be a balance

between science and values that still allow farmers to make a living and provide safe food. “There are no best systems for sows, and every system comes with trade offs,” she said. “The question becomes, what is acceptable for you and who gets to make these decisions.” Universities studied hen housing, including conventional cages, aviaries, enriched cages, free range and pastures, under the Coalition for Sustainable Egg Supply. The enriched colony cage system came out best scientifically, but the demand is for cage free and science is not shifting public opinion. Most people who were surveyed could not identify where they receive their information about farming. However, 12 percent cited the Humane Society of United States and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as information sources. Social media came in at four percent while commodity groups had almost no influence. The American Humane Farm Program offers a voluntary certification program for laying hens, turkeys, broilers, ducks, bison, dairy cattle and goats, pork and beef. Many production systems are acceptable, said veterinarian Janet Helms, national director of the American Humane Farm Program. “We believe in contemporary agriculture,” Helms said. “It is generally large scale and we support that. We believe food should be affordable and we want to provide choice.” The organization was founded in 1877 and has evolved from protection of horses to movie animals and pets as well as a farm animal welfare program that started in 2000. Producers and companies may apply for the Certified Humane accreditation and must meet criteria based on the five freedoms of animal care. Independent third

party audits from firms such as Validus are conducted, and a passing grade of 85 percent is required. Each audit costs about US$2,000. The program can provide suitable standards for small and large operations. The program requires pain mitigation for dehorning and castration. No branding is allowed. Enriched programs for laying hens are outlined. More space in housing systems should be allowed. Humane stunning and slaughter are advocated. Antibiotics are acceptable because sick animals deserve treatment. Participants are expected to provide training for employees and management. There is also a whistle blower policy in cases of abuse. People join a program like this because they want the independent third party audit and a label for their products. It is also a risk management tool to show they are audited and can protect customers. The program focuses on continuous improvement, and standards will change as science learns more. Helms wants a practical system as well. “I want to provide an affordable and ethical choice for the American public,” said Helms. The organization has run surveys that found 75 percent of those polled said they were prepared to pay more for humanely raised meat, dairy, poultry and eggs. A humanely raised label ranked as the highest in importance over antibiotic free, organic and natural labelled products. However, some families cannot afford any added attributes. “In the U.S., one in five children go to bed hungry, so those households require a lower cost food.” However, there are opportunities for continuous improvement that would still keep food affordable. barbara.duckworth@prodcer.com

ANIMAL AGRICULTURE This is how Janet Helm thinks animal agriculture can be improved: • Proper stunning of poultry before slaughter • Transportation of livestock needs further evaluation and improvement • Improved sow housing • Pain management for various treatments • Identification of animals • Disposal of spent hens — Few facilities are available to process the birds as food so many are composted on the farm. “We know that one spent hen would fill up a 50 ounce can. What could we do with a 50 ounce can of chicken meat in terms of the child food problem?” Helm said. • Sexing chicken embryos — Europe was leading the development of that technology but abandoned it, so male chicks are still killed. • Colostrum management — Many calves do not get their first gallon of colostrum in the first hours of birth. Many dairy calves are not fed enough calories while they are being reared. • Alternatives for hormones used for growth and synchronization for breeding • Disease control — One million beef cattle die of respiratory disease every year. “(Lack of) use of bovine viral disease vaccines is the biggest problem we have in beef and dairy production,” she said. Many companies provide products for that particular problem. A producer needs to follow vaccination protocols, biosecurity and surveillance, but not enough do. • Depopulation of animals — This needs to improve, particularly when mass destruction is required for large animals.

TRACING DISEASE

DISEASE EXPOSURE

Pigs at country fairs TB source baffles Indiana researchers can spread illness BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH

CALGARY BUREAU

Swine influenza transmitted at national events BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

COLUMBUS, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; That cute little pig on display at a local fair could be carrying a miserable flu virus. Hog shows are common in the United States, and events are held at county, state and national venues. Disease surveillance is showing these pigs can share influenza viruses with people. The viruses may also be mutating into novel forms that could be carried back to commercial operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything we teach you not to do in farm biosecurity, we do at fairs,â&#x20AC;? said swine and influenza specialist Andy Bowman of the Ohio State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college of veterinary medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bring these pigs together, we commingle them and then we invite the public to come.â&#x20AC;? Probably a million pigs are shown each year in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know this is a small subset of the swine industry within the U.S. and they are mostly raised for youth and education programs,â&#x20AC;? Bowman said. Show entrants vary from fewer than 300 to 2,000 pigs at one venue. There were 306 human cases of H3N2 in 10 states during the summer of 2012. Indiana had the most, and Ohio had 107 cases with 11 hospitalizations and one death. The majority of cases had prolonged direct or indirect exposure to swine exhibitors or family members and were linked to 14 of Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture fairs, he said at the National Institute of Animal Agriculture annual meeting, which was held April 3-6 in Columbus. A wide surveillance program has started in which pigs are sampled by wiping their noses. Influenza, PRSS and other diseases were detected. More than 60 percent of the pigs were often infected when positive cases were diagnosed. The disease is probably amplified, and pigs may also pick up viruses from handling equipment. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio are participating in the surveillance program. Fair organizers and state animal health officials are also involved to learn where pigs were shown and where they came from. It is a diverse mixture of hog farms from commercial barns to a couple pigs in the backyard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their management is completely different from commercial swine production and we probably need to start applying commercial swine practices,â&#x20AC;? he said. Nine agriculture fairs in Ohio and Indiana were enrolled in the surveillance network in 2014. Pigs were sampled and uniquely identi-

fied by ear tag. Snout wipes were collected upon arrival at fairs, and the samples were sent away for PCR tests to isolate the virus. Questionnaires that were circulated among exhibitors found that most do not have pigs year round. Many were used in youth projects and were probably bought from an off-farm source in March or April. Other livestock such as cattle, sheep, horses and llamas are often on the farms, and there could be two to 6,500 pigs on a farm.

ANDY BOWMAN OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

Some hog owners attend at least three shows before the fair where the hogs were sampled. Others show throughout the season, and some reported being at as many as 50 shows. Jackpots were considered another source of disease spread. A working group was established in 2012 to minimize swine influenza transmission at fairs. State health officials, pork boards, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and veterinarians were involved. They recommended shorter swine exhibitions because it appears the amount of flu cases drops at shorter events. Vaccination was also suggested, and human contact should be minimized. The National Pork Board also requested a study into influenza and exhibitions. The public health sector has said these events should be shut down. However, more research and evidence are needed to decide what to do with fairs and potential exposure to sickness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know not all fairs have the same risk,â&#x20AC;? Bowman said. They do know that longer fairs with large numbers of entrants are a greater risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exhibition swine sector is nervous that we are going to come after the shows and shut them down,â&#x20AC;? he said. These shows are not typically terminal events where the pigs are sold and slaughtered afterward. Most return home and continue to spread viruses at the next fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know when people buy a barrow for $5,000 they want to show it more than once,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a push-back not to have terminal shows.â&#x20AC;? barbara.duckworth@producer.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Indiana has been tuberculosis free since 1984, but in the last nine years cases keep cropping up in the southeastern part of the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain how this is moving around,â&#x20AC;? said veterinarian Bret Marsh of the Indiana State Board of Animal Health. He described the recent history of the disease and how trace-outs have been conducted since it was found in cattle, white-tailed deer and a raccoon. The source of infection is under investigation, and state officials suspect there has been a low level of the disease in the area for a long time, he told the National Institute of Animal Agriculture meeting held in Columbus April 3-6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern is it is moving in something. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tie these cattle herds by cattle contact,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could not prove it is in the white-tailed deer population.â&#x20AC;? G enetic testing at the U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national laboratory shows that all the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deer and cattle were infected with the same strain of TB. This strain has been found in wildlife across the United States. The first case was found in late 2008 when inspectors at an out-ofstate packing plant found lesions in a cow traced back to Indiana. The disease was found the following year at a nearby cervid farm, where the owner had about 100 fallow deer, red deer, elk and five white- tailed deer. The herd was destroyed. A Pennsylvania slaughter plant discovered two more cases in 2010. Four loads of fed cattle went

to that plant, but there did not seem to be any conclusive links. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was six years later before we ever found out where these steers came from,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it had not been for whole genomic sequencing, we may never have found out.â&#x20AC;? Another beef herd from the same region was infected in 2011, and a lack of identification created problems for investigators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is we worked hard on premises identification, but we need some ID on these animals,â&#x20AC;? Marsh said.

It takes weeks to find these, and we spend a lot of time testing cattle that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be tested. BRET MARSH INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes weeks to find these, and we spend a lot of time testing cattle that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be tested.â&#x20AC;? The most recent cases happened last year when six of 11 steers shipped to a packer tested positive. The buyer bought those steers from the farm and put a back tag on them. Those tags were still visible at the packing plant in Pennsylvania and they were able to f i n d t h e ow n e r w i t h i n t h re e hours. These cattle came from a farm that ran two sites: cows and heifers on one and market cattle at another. The entire operation was depopulated, and extensive testing was launched in a five kilometre radius. A river runs through the region

where all the infected herds were found, so that area was also cordoned off for testing of cattle and wildlife. White-tailed deer surveillance has been ongoing since 2009, but none were found until last year when a positive diagnosis was declared in a two-year-old doe found on one of the infected farm sites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the first positive wild species we have ever had in Indiana,â&#x20AC;? he said. The test area was expanded to a 16 kilometre radius. A positive raccoon was collected in that sweep, and another farm came up positive last December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The encouraging side of finding a wild animal was that we put up a 10 mile (16 km) circle,â&#x20AC;? Marsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had not done that, we would have missed seeing it.â&#x20AC;? A widespread public education program was launched and hunters were asked to submit deer heads, although no disease was found in the 2,000 samples. Testing involved a large group of officials. Private veterinarians can be enlisted to help test animals in Indiana, and about 14 local practitioners joined three federal teams. They tested 380 cattle herds with a total of 6,500 head of cattle. All the tested cattle have been tagged, and they will be tested again. Low-level offenders from a local jail were enlisted to help set up corrals, gates and chutes, which were taken to the farms because many did not have adequate facilities or equipment. Surveillance will continue this year in cattle herds and wildlife. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CATTLE BREEDING

Genomics takes bull selection to the next level Select Sires collects semen from each bull and uses genomic information to determine high quality performers BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

PLAIN CITY, Ohio — Genomic analysis has changed the genetics business so that top animals are now selected on the basis of statistics rather than eye appeal. “One of the things that has happened in our industry is genomics. It has taken off in the Holstein breed. It has changed our world greatly,” Tony Good, chief staff veterinarian of Select Sires at Plain City, Ohio, told a tour group from the National Institute of Animal Agriculture. “Genomics has changed the game in lots of different ways. They are now selecting animals off a spreadsheet.” Formed more than 50 years ago as a farmer owned co-operative, Select Sires sells beef and dairy bull semen to more than 90 countries. Less than 10 years ago, producers collected semen from a bull and results on its progeny started to become available about four years later. Now, a hair sample can be collected at birth and decisions made on whether to keep the bull based on DNA merit. “With genomics, as soon as you pluck some DNA from hair follicles, you know when the calf is still wet where he ranks,” Good said. This company brings in bull calves at around 45 days and raises them in animal friendly barns with a strict feeding and health program. They are tested to see if they have what it takes to be a top sire, and semen collection can start at around a year of age. The company owns some females, and genomic information can be used to collect oocytes before they reach puberty. “The idea of genomics is to speed up the generation intervals,” he said. A big part of the business is dairy

An American cattle genetics company has become much more sophisticated in how it uses genomics analysis to select its top bulls from calves like these from a 2011 file photo. | FILE PHOTO sires, particularly from the Holstein breed. The company either owns the cattle or leases them and shares the profits with the owners. “Out of the top 50 (dairy bulls), we have 38,” he said. The company made its name when it bought a Holstein bull named Round Oak Rag Apple Elevation born in 1965. The Holstein International Association named Elevation bull of the century in 1999. “A bull like Elevation would live as long as we could get him to live and produce,” he said. “The number one bull in the world a few years ago didn’t make it to seven years of age.” A bull’s statistics and worth is based on information from the performance of daughters, sisters and cousins. Genomic information is added and a formula is calculat-

ed to give the best data possible on what can be expected of a sire. About 20 percent of bulls are culled because they are not good enough. The company has been in expansion mode since it was incorporated in 1965. Global buyers In Canada, the company works under the name Select Sires GenerVations. Semen can be purchased around the world through Select Sires distributors in Latin America, World Wide Sires and international GenerVations Inc. distributors. There are about 1,900 bulls at 13 facilities in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Six dair y and 10 beef breeds are maintained. Sexed semen, enhanced heat detection aids and synchroniza-

tion tools are available. Each bull is regularly tested for a long list of potential diseases to meet domestic and international regulations. Semen from a bull that qualifies for trade with the European Union is likely to be accepted anywhere. “We are always looking to expand markets and market share in the U.S. and internationally. Internationally is probably our best spot to grow,” Good said. The company collected 15.1 million units of semen last year, up from six million units in 2000. It is collected using teaser steers rather than electro-ejaculators because the amount and quality ejaculated into an artificial vagina is better, said Good. About 40 steers, often bought from county fairs, are used for the bulls to mount. The oldest steer at

the Ohio site is 14. Each bull is expected to produce two ejaculates every other day. The sample is tagged, and an onsite laboratory analyzes it for volume and the number of cells in each collection. Bar codes are placed on every straw of semen to identify the sire. The bulls on the Select Sires roster are often worth more than six figures and can earn substantial incomes. A single Holstein bull named Headliner generates about $4 million a year in sales. Animal welfare is audited twice a year, and the company helped set care standards for stud stations. Back pain is the biggest problem for mature sires, which is treated using NSAIDs, pain medications and acupuncture. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

DAIRY SEMINAR

Dairy strives to improve cow health while reducing antibiotic use BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

RED DEER — Four years ago, the Rosy-Lane Holsteins dairy near Watertown, Wisconsin, stopped using antibiotics to treat its 870 milking females. Last year, it had no cases of either ketosis or milk fever, and the farm’s veterinary bills have dropped by two-thirds. Lloyd Holterman, who owns the dairy with his wife, Daphne, and partners Tim Strobel and Jordan Matthews, said the achievement was made possible by a focus on animal health and a desire to reduce antibiotic use in light of attention on antimicrobial resistant bacteria in animal and human health. “Healthier cows make more money, and reducing vet costs and foot trimming costs and overall herd health costs leads to better feed efficiency, leads to environmental and food safety improvements for the consumer,” Holter-

man told those at the recent Western Canadian Dairy Seminar in Red Deer. Healthy cows are crucial to the dairy’s milk production goal relative to feed intake. “The over-arching goal and the reason that we’re so bent on getting these cows really healthy, (is) if we can produce 1.7 pounds (of milk) … for every one lb. of dry matter intake, we’re going to be extremely practical.” Rosy-Lane has achieved this goal only once, in 2015, when high quality feed was readily available, said Holterman. Usually the dairy is slightly short of that goal. However, it also aims for $800 in profit per cow per year, on a three-year average, and last year it achieved $921. Technology and capable staff allow the dairy to move 870 cows through the double-12 milking parlour three times a day. Milk makes up 92 percent of the farm’s income with five percent coming

from cull cows and bulls and the rest from sales of genetics and from government programs, said Holterman.

LAST YEAR, ROSYLANE HOLSTEINS MADE AN AVERAGE PROFIT OF

$921 PER COW He described the quest for cow health and high production as a “puzzle in progress” that would have different pieces depending on the operation. For Rosy-Lane, those pieces include technology, genetics, people, housing, nutrition, herd health, milk harvest and calves. Antibiotics are no longer used on

cows, but the same is not true for calves, although the goal is for minimal use. “On the baby calves, that’s a little trickier deal,” he said. Calf boxes have blankets rather than straw, and each navel is dipped at least three times to prevent infection. Calves are given colostrum within 30 minutes of birth. The calving area is steam cleaned once a week in winter and twice in summer and treated with a strong disinfectant. Holterman said all cows are housed together after calving, kept in clean alleys with a place to lie down and given access to fresh feed around the clock. “Let the cow be a cow,” advised Holterman, and once they’ve calved, provide energy-rich feed to improve milk production and don’t overcrowd. Rosy-Lane doesn’t use hormones to stimulate ovulation. Holterman said he is hoping to improve reproduction rates through genetics and

breeding, although he acknowledged that is a longer-term process. As for rations, Holterman said Rosy-Lane gives what some might consider “a suicide diet” of 51 percent grain and 49 percent forage. However, in his area of the U.S. Midwest, corn and soybeans are plentiful and cheap while forages are expensive. Sand in the free-stall barns is freshened twice a week. The farm does its own foot trimming and reduces lameness by scraping alleys daily, keeping them dry and having cows go through a copper sulfate footbath once a week and a soap and chlorine footbath twice a week. Holterman said protocols specifically designed for cow health have paid off for his dairy. The other key, he said, is to have good partners so that he is able to concentrate on the journey toward ever-healthier cows. barb.glen@producer.com

HERD PERFORMANCE

Fine-tuning of herd health and management programs ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

hey say the only constant is change. We know in the cattle business if we stop improving and accept the status quo, we will fall behind. I have decided to put together ideas that are now happening in the cattle industry. As I travel across the country and meet with producer groups and veterinarians, many production tips come to mind. Hopefully some may apply to your operation and help you improve the performance of your farm or ranch. Vaccinology is making great strides with new intranasal technologies and broader vaccines that cover more diseases in one shot. There are newer intranasal cannulas and guns on the market that are easy to use and deliver a good application of the vaccine well up into the nostril. Spring is a good time to review if new products should be added to your herdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vaccination program. Remember, vaccines help prevent diseases and that is far better than treating diseases after the fact. Hopefully, vaccines can also help cut down antibiotic use. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pass off persistently infected, bovine viral diarrhea calves to the feeding sector, so there is heavy reliance on the cow-calf sector to wean vaccinated calves. Vaccines for foot rot and pinkeye are becoming more common, especially on herd bulls. Clostridial disease is always present but remember specific diseases such as tetanus or redwater only come in certain clostridial vaccines. We see more cases of clostridial disease out there in spite of there being good, inexpensive vaccines available. Work with a veterinarian to make sure timing is right on the vaccines, and handle and administer them properly. Every time you process your cattle, you should review the vaccines you need and whether there is anything new that will give your cattle more comprehensive coverage. Are cattle travelling to or coming from geographic areas where specific diseases are more prevalent? These are important facts to consider. Pain control or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs called NSAIDs are often mentioned in the beef and dairy codes of practice for procedures such as castration or dehorning. In veterinary medicine, NSAIDs may often be used when we work on sick cattle with a fever or perform surgery. Veterinarians have a range of NSAIDs to choose from. They even come in convenient methods of application, such as oral or pouron, as well as the traditional injectable ones. Some have short slaughter withdrawals, while others are longer. They are prescription drugs, but a

veterinarian can advise on which ones to use in which situations. I have seen first-hand how quickly recovery occurs from caesarian sections, claw amputations, castrations and other situations when NSAIDs are used. The general public is also expressing greater concerns about using pain killers from an animal welfare perspective, so it simply is becoming the right thing to do. In the interests of parasite control, monitoring feces for internal parasites has become common. Many strategies, including strategic deworming at pasture, helps producers and veterinarians recognize different ways to deworm, considering that a certain level of parasites leads to greater health

problems, especially in calves and yearlings. As well, more products are available for lice and fly control and some even have some mosquito control, which additionally helps production on grass. The critical thing is timing of application and switching products if horn fly resistance starts to become a problem. When buying breeding bulls, make sure to examine all the information, such as semen forms, expected progeny differences and any genetic information. Bulls make up half the genetics in your herd and warrant special attention, depending on if you want bulls of calving ease performance or carcass characteristics.

Some purebred breeders test for things like homozygosis for colour or the non-dilutor gene to stay away from rat-tail calves. This has been done to help the buyer and should lead to consistency in colour, if that is important in your herd. As an industry, we need to do more testing and get more information on antibiotic sensitivity so we can make more informed decisions. If, for instance, you have lost calves to pneumonia, you should talk to a veterinarian about doing a culture during the postmortem, plus a sensitivity to best predict which antibiotic will work best. This will help monitor resistant organisms and optimize treatment

success. Keep in mind virtually all antibiotics will need a vet prescription. We need to be better spokespeople for our industry and yet push back with strong evidence on topics such as the hormones in beef and antibiotic-free beef. We are a sustainable industry but need to support processes that make beef more economical to raise. If you are involved with a special organic or other program, make sure you are deriving the best premium, about 10 to 20 percent, in order to make up for the increased costs of production. Roy Lewis works as a technical services veterinarian part time with Merck Animal Health in Alberta.

2016 LAND PRICES

Canadian land prices still rising BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian farmland values continued to rise in 2016, but the rate of increase fell for the third consecutive year. The average value of Canadian farmland went up 7.9 percent, which is down from 10.1 percent in 2015, 14.3 percent in 2014 and 22.1 percent in 2013. Surprisingly strong farm cash receipts fueled increases in every province across the country. Alberta led the way in the Prairie region with a 9.5 percent increase, followed by Manitoba at 8.1 percent and Saskatchewan at 7.5 percent. The rate of increase is well below the heyday of 2013 when Saskatchewan experienced a 29 percent growth in farmland values followed by Manitoba at 26 percent and Alberta at 13 percent. However, Canadian growers are still faring much better than their counterparts in the U.S. Midwest, where farmland values fell 10 percent because of plummeting

crop receipts. “That to me really is a good illustration of the differences in the health of the farm economies,” said J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist for Farm Credit Canada, which tracks farmland values.

That to me really is a good illustration of the differences in the health of the farm economies. J.P GERVAIS FARM CREDIT CANADA ECONOMIST

Canadian growers have been somewhat insulated from the downward slide in commodity prices by the weak Canadian dollar, which is trading at around US75 cents. Crop receipts in 2016 were up 14 percent in Manitoba and seven percent in Alberta, largely because of good yields. Receipts were down six percent in

Saskatchewan because of quality problems. Scott Schulka, senior director of valuation and environmental risk at FCC, said there was quite a bit of variability in farmland values by region last year. For instance, there was a 17 percent increase in values in southwestern Saskatchewan but no increase in the southeastern portion of the province. Schulka believes that is because there was plenty of optimism surrounding pulse crops early in the year, which are primarily grown on the west side of the province. Meanwhile, the southeast suffered from a slowdown in the oil and potash sectors and poor weather conditions. Schulka was surprised by the resiliency of Alberta’s farm economy, given the recent economic struggles in that province. “Despite the economy still feeling the drag of low energy prices, it recorded the second highest average farmland value increase in Canada,” he said. Gervais is forecasting a further

reduction in the rate of increase in farmland values in 2017. He thinks the national average will be half of what it was in 2016. He expects stable crop receipts based on futures prices, a two percent increase in yields, an average quality crop and the dollar remaining around 75 cents. Schulka said land sales haven’t slowed in the first quarter of 2017. “We’re busy. There’s a lot of interest. Farmland is selling,” he said. “Things aren’t selling any cheaper anyway.” Gervais warned producers not to become complacent because while farmland values are still rising, crop receipts have been increasing at a slower rate than farmland values over the past few years. Canadian farmers are in good financial shape to weather the storm if receipts take a nosedive in 2017. Their debt-to-asset ratio is below the long-term average, and working capital, which is the first line of defense, is plentiful. sean.pratt@producer.com

RETIREMENT PLANNING

Solving the farm succession puzzle takes teamwork MANAGING THE FARM

takes all three circles into account to build your plan.

the outcome is similar too: an incomplete plan or an even worse mess.

Holistic solutions

look like. You need to talk to everyone involved to learn their preferred outcomes and get that written down before you start the plan.

Start with the end in mind

JONATHAN SMALL, BSc., PAg

rule of thumb in life is that things are generally simpler than they first appear. We tend to overthink or make things more complicated than necessary. However, this is not the case when it comes to succession planning. Over the years I have come to realize that succession planning is a three-dimensional puzzle, much like the Rubik’s Cube. I have learned a few keys to solving the succession-planning puzzle that may make it a little easier.

The second key is that you have to be holistic. Because everything is interconnected, solving one problem will create several others. This is normal, and while it can be frustrating, an experienced adviser will see the connections, anticipate the new issues and help you keep an eye on all three dimensions. Most of us can get one side of a Rubik’s Cube the right color, but then we move to the next colour, solve it and discover that the first colour is now all jumbled. That’s exactly what succession planning can feel like without a process, and

Succession planning a team sport You have a clear goal in mind when you start a Rubik’s Cube, typically to finish with six sides comprising one colour each. If you didn’t have that goal, you wouldn’t know what moves to make or know when you were finished. Succession planning is no different. The first thing you must do is not figure out the next move or, in fact, any moves. Your first priority is to describe for the family and the advisers what you want the finished puzzle to

Today we recognize the complexity of succession planning and that there isn’t one person who can meet all the needs of the process. It takes a team. However, like the Rubik’s Cube, if each person specializes in one colour and works alone, you will finish with just one side of the cube solved but the not the rest. Instead, team members must work as a unit to recognize the other issues that their solution may cause and work together to find big

picture solutions that serve the greater goals. The team must work as one, communicating and collaborating toward the goal. That’s why teams are so effective. You should expect nothing less for your life’s work. This is where I think effective succession planning excels. At its core, it is about building a team that can build a succession plan that takes into account all three circles, and it begins by defining the end goals. With the right strategy and proper planning, solving the successionplanning puzzle doesn’t have to seem impossible.

Know and follow the process If you are one of the few people who can actually solve a Rubik’s Cube, you have discovered that the trick is to learn to apply a process. You can’t just solve one side at a time; you must solve all the sides together. The same can be said of succession planning. I look at a farm business as having three overlapping and interdependent circles: business, ownership and family. They cannot be separated from one another. No single issue can be resolved without taking into account all others. Like the Rubik’s Cube, everything is connected to everything. That’s why you need a process that

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Monsanto profits jump CHIC AG O, Ill. (Reuters) — Monsanto Co. beat quarterly profit expectations, helped by strong demand for its seeds. The world’s largest seed supplier said sales of corn seeds and traits rose eight percent, while sales of soybean seeds and traits jumped 10.2 percent in the second quarter ended Feb. 28. American farmers are expected to plant the largest ever combined acreage of corn and soybeans. Monsanto agreed in September to a US$128-per-share buyout offer from Bayer that, if approved by regulators, would create a company with more than a quarter of the world market for seeds and pesticides. Monsanto expects full-year ongoing earnings per share at the high end of its forecast range of $4.50 to $4.90 per share for the 2017 fiscal year. Net profit attributable to Monsanto rose to $1.37 billion, or $3.09 per share, in the second quarter, from $1.06 billion, or $2.41 per share, a year earlier. E x c l u d i n g o n e - t i m e i t e m s, Monsanto earned $3.19 per share, topping analysts’ average estimate of $2.79 per share, according to Thomson Reuters. Net sales rose 12 percent to $5.07 billion. Analysts on average expected sales of $4.73 billion.

ACCURACY BEYOND MEASURE

The all-new C850 Air Cart

Introducing large-scale performance for small grain seeding. With a large 850-bushel (30 cu m) capacity than before, the all-new C850 "IR $ART CAN ACCURATELY COVER ACRES HA PER LL AND EASILY SEED an entire quarter section. We didn’t purposely design the C850 to be the largest cart in the market, but something even better – the most favorable balance between cart, tractor, tool size and precision ag technology. That balance means less weight, less horsepower needed, reduced compaction and even emergence. The C850’s accuracy is the very measure of performance. Thanks to John Deere AirPower™ 2, the C850 delivers 550 pounds (249.5 kg) of material per acre directly to all eight primary lines, precisely metering product into the primary air stream. The results: Greater consistency ACROSS THE ENTIRE DRILL MORE UNIFORM SEED EMERGENCE MORE ΈOWERING and canopy, and greater yields. Find out more about the air cart with accuracy beyond measure. Visit with your John Deere dealer. That’s Performance That Pays.
