Scout now for fusarium

Canola’s competitive threat is here High oleic soybeans get regulatory approval

BY SEAN PRATT

But farmers are urged not to over-spray

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It’s on.

After years of regulatory delays, developers of high oleic soybeans are finally in a position to take back market share lost to high oleic canola.

After a lengthy review process, China has approved Monsanto’s Vistive Gold soybeans, paving the way for full-scale commercial introduction of the product in 2018.

It will be competing head-tohead with high oleic canola out of Canada.

“We are excited and encouraged by that news,” said John Motter, chair of the United Soybean Board.

Monsanto had little to say about the development other than it has not finalized its 2018 commercialization plans for Vistive Gold.

THE COST OF CARBON Carbon taxation is a hot topic now that the federal government has embraced it as a major weapon in the effort to mitigate climate change. Some provinces have introduced carbon pricing, others are planning to do so and at least one is refusing to consider it. But what is carbon, why does taxing it help slow down climate change and how would such as a taxation system work? Ultimately, what would it mean for farmers? The Western Producer will examine these questions in the next three issues. SEE PAGE 50 FOR THIS WEEK’S INSTALMENT. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO ILLUSTRATION

Conditions could be ripe for fusarium head blight across large swathes of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Recent rain, high humidity and warm daytime temperatures may have increased the risk of the disease in many fields of winter and spring wheat.

It’s also a combination of high levels of inoculums carried over from last year in relation to temperature and relative humidity, say provincial pathologists.

“Last year with high levels of fusarium across the province there’s inoculums definitely present in the environment,” said Barb Ziesman, Saskatchewan Agriculture’s provincial specialist for plant disease.

“The other factor we’re looking at is the environment, and that’s really going to push the disease and that’s really giving us that annual variation,” she said.

The latest risk assessment maps, which are updated daily using data collected from weather stations across each province, show much of Manitoba in the medium zone with scattered pockets of high risk for the fungal disease.

Saskatchewan generally remains at low risk, except a broad strip classified as moderate that travels from the southeast region up to the northeast where the risk is high.

However, it remains somewhat early to know for sure because flowering dates are generally still a

DISEASE THREAT

Is foot-and-mouth lurking in imported feed?

Unpublished study shows devastating livestock disease could be easily transported in contaminated feed shipments

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

North America’s livestock industry hasn’t had an outbreak of foot-andmouth disease for decades. The last outbreak in the United States was almost 90 years ago, and it hasn’t been seen in Canada since 1952.

However, there are worst-case scenarios in which it could reappear in Canada or the U.S. One possible scenario is where a Canadian resident visits his home country and returns to Canada with sandwich meat in his luggage.

The meat, infected with the footand-mouth virus, could be discarded in a rural area and somehow come in contact with a pig, sheep or cow in Canada.

Scott Dee, a Minnesota vet and expert in livestock disease transmission, doesn’t lose sleep over such a scenario. However, he does worry about imported animal feed from places such as China and India.

“I would have to think that the feed risk would be much higher than the individual (bringing meat to North America),” said Dee, who was a University of Minnesota professor and is now director of research at Pipestone Veterinary Services in Pipestone, Minn.

“From the sheer volume, it’s the feed.”

Dee has published scientific studies on how animal feed ingredients, such as soybean meal and lysine, can be vehicles to transport livestock diseases between countries.

In 2016, he published a paper showing that porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus can persist in soybean meal and other feed ingredients for weeks, suggesting that a pathogen in feed could easily survive a 38-day trip from China to rural Iowa.

PED is a serious problem, but a foot-and-mouth outbreak in North America would have severe consequences.

It is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cattle, pigs and other cloven hoofed animals. The U.S. National Pork Board has said that a foot-and-mouth outbreak would cause annual revenue losses of $12.8 billion for America’s pork and beef industries.

Dee repeated the experiment to see if foot-and-mouth disease could be transported in animal feed between countries.

The answer from the study, still unpublished, was a resounding yes.

“We ran this project again using Seneca Valley A (virus) as a surrogate for FMD. It lived in almost everything that we put it through,” said Dee. “It lived in 10 of the 11 feed ingredients that we used in the model.”

Egan Brockhoff, An Alberta veterinarian who specializes in hogs, said Dee’s research and other evidence has proven that feed is a genuine biosecurity concern for Canadian livestock producers.

“There is no question that different pathogens can use feed and feed materials as a vehicle to transport (disease) regionally, nationally and globally,” said Brockhoff of Prairie Swine Health Services in Red Deer.

“I think the veterinary community would fully support what

WHAT IS FOOT & MOUTH DISEASE? • FMD is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cattle, swine, sheep, goats and other cloven-hoofed ruminants. It can also infect all species of deer and antelopes as well as elephants and giraffes.

• FMD is not readily transmissible to humans.

• The disease is spread in all secretions and can become airborne through the breathing of infected animals. The virus may be present in milk or semen for up to four days before the animal shows clinical signs.

• Symptoms include fever, blisters on the tongue, lips or inside the mouth, blisters on teats or between hooves. Secondary illnesses such as infection can set in when the blisters rupture.

• FMD can be diagnosed through laboratory testing.

There are vaccines for FMD but there are seven different strains of this virus, each requiring a specific vaccine to provide immunity.

• The majority of adult animals infected with FMD recover from the illness after a week or two, but severe production losses can occur and the animals are often left weakened or lame. Young animals often die from FMD when blisters damage the heart muscle.

• FMD is endemic in several parts of Asia, much of Africa and the Middle East. The majority of Latin American countries are recognized to be free of FMD with or without vaccination protocols, but the disease does still occur in a few of those countries. Central and North America, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and continental Western Europe are currently free of FMD. Source: World Organization for Animal Health

Scott’s research has clearly shown to be true.”

Dee has been sharing his findings over the last year or so with livestock industry leaders in the U.S. and Canada.

Initially, many people were surprised that imported feed is a significant biosecurity risk, but it’s hard to ignore the evidence.

“In the swine industry we’ve had four new viruses since 2013,” Dee said. “Stuff is happening. Viruses are getting in and I think this is how they are getting in.”

Why is imported feed coming into North America?

When Dee was doing his experiment on PED virus transmission, he was surprised by the amount of s oy b e a n s a n d s oy b e a n m e a l imported into America, particularly from China.”

“We identified multiple soybean and soybean meal manufacturers in the eastern region of (China) supplying product for agricultural use in bags, totes, containers or bulk quantities, including products

designated as ‘organic,’ ” Dee wrote in the 2016 paper.

The story is somewhat different in Canada.

Canadian Oilseed Processors Association data shows that most imported soybeans and soybean meal comes from the U.S., but a significant amount also comes from China, India and Ukraine.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a persistent problem in India and China.

Grain is often stored outside or even by the roadside in those countries, increasing the likelihood that an infected animal could come in contact with the grain.

It’s also possible that bags used to carry feed could contaminate the product.

Still, it seems strange that anyone in North America’s livestock trade would import feed from overseas because Canadian and American

farmers produce an abundance of feedgrains and oilseeds.

In the case of soybeans and soy meal, it’s possible that a large portion of the imports are labelled “organic” because there’s a shortage of organic feed rains in North America.

“We are ver y dependent on imported stuff, especially soybeans,” said Tom Manley in 2016.

Manley operates Homestead Organics, a company in eastern Ontario that supplies feed and offers agronomic services to organic farmers in central Canada and New York state.

“We have tens of thousands of tonnes of feed (grains) coming in from overseas (including India).”

It’s uncertain if there is a link between imports of organic feedgrains and the arrival of foreign animal diseases, but it’s worthy of further study, Dee said.

“If organic products are coming into the country and the PED virus did live in the organic soybean meal, is that a way that type of farming is increasing the risk of new viruses coming in?”

What to do? Ban imports of feed?

Banning imports of feed ingredients from countries with foot-andmouth seems like a simple solution. But Brockhoff and Dee both dismissed the option.

Instead, it’s more appropriate to assess the level of risk and point out red flags, such as feed bags being stored too close to livestock. Then, share the findings with people in

the industry.

“Just because you (have) a feed ingredient in China doesn’t mean (it is) exposed to foot-and-mouth virus or classical swine fever … or PED,” Brockhoff said.

“You say, ‘based on our assessment, we feel you shouldn’t be purchasing product from these particular regions.’ I think that’s a reasonable approach.”

Another possibility is testing imported feed for pathogens. Dee is skeptical about testing, which he described as a “wild goose chase.”

“Testing is going to be tough.

You’ve got many points (of sources) and huge volumes of feed coming in,” he said.

“The chances of catching the right sample and getting it to the lab on time (is slim).”

A better option is treating feed ingredients at the country of origin, he said.

Starting this summer, Dee and his team will look at ways to chemically treat feed to find methods that safely eliminate pathogens.

However, in the big picture, people in North America’s livestock industry may need to change their thinking about feed and feed ingredients.

Importing soybean meal from India or soybeans from Ukraine may save a few dollars, but is it worth the risk?

“Maybe changing sources to countries of lower risk,” Dee said.

SCOUT NOW FOR FUSARIUM

FUSARIUM RISK IN SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE1

This map shows fusarium risks in spring wheat crops as of June 18.

Note that each province does its own separate assessment, therefore border areas do not always match.

week or two away for winter and spring wheat crops in many areas.

“Watch and wait and be prepared,” said Holly Derksen of Manitoba Agriculture.

“Our risk maps are really just a guide. You still need to go out there and scout your individual fields to know, are you at the right stage for a fungicide application, is the risk matching up with what you’re seeing in your own field?”

Derksen said large portions of winter wheat in southeastern Manitoba died during the winter, forcing producers to replant to another crop.

“Most of our winter wheat acres are in western Manitoba this year.”

While she cautioned against overuse of fungicide, she expected that many producers may spray regardless of the risk factor. “ We ’ v e b e e n d e a l i n g w i t h fusarium for a number of years so a lot of guys here will be planning to spray a fungicide regardless of what our maps show,” she said.

“I think they’ve been hit enough times by fusarium that even in years when risk is low they know that it pays off for those other years, so they just pencil it in right from the beginning.”

Randy Kutcher of the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre said growers are using fungicides as insurance.

“It’s hard to predict exactly what the risk is going to be and so I think a lot of growers are becoming,

unfortunately I would say from an integrated pest management point of view, using routine applications rather than looking at the tools we have like the maps, getting to understand the disease, looking at their crop rotation, looking at their variety — all the things that you could factor into trying to decide, do you really need to spray this year,” he said.

Added Ziesman: “They’re (fungicides) not going to give us complete control. With a lot of diseases, fungicide applications can give fairly good control. Fusarium head blight is one disease that an integrated approach is very important.”

It has been an excessively breezy spring, which has kept many spraying operations grounded or confined to working early mornings and late evenings. However, it’s not known how the wind has affected risk levels for the pathogen.

“If the spores are in the environment, it can carry them from field to field, but there’s no exact information on how far the spores can be carried,” said Ziesman.

Added Kutcher: “On the other hand, it might reduce the relative humidity within the crop canopy (and lower the fusarium risk).

Ziesman said the most important thing that producers can do is take the time to check the stages in their fields because the risk assessment maps are going to be effective only if used for the heading date of a specific crop. william.dekay@producer.com

POULTRY

It’s a chicken barn horror story An animal cruelty case in British Columbia rocks the poultry industry as calls grow for answers and solutions

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Disturbing, sadistic, sickening and reprehensible: these are the adjectives used by the Canadian chicken industry and the British Columbia SPCA to describe an undercover video made public Ju n e 1 2 t h a t s h o w s workers abusing chickens.

The video was shot by a worker with the Mercy for Animals group at operations in B.C.’s Fraser Valley.

It shows chicken catchers employed by Elite Farm Services kicking broiler chickens, smashing them into walls, ripping live birds’ legs off and forcing them into simulated sexual positions.

The B.C SPCA is investigating the matter with intent to lay charges against the workers and Elite Farm Services under the Criminal Code and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, said SPCA prevention and enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty.

She said the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is conducting its own investigation of possible infractions under the Health of Animals Act and violations of transportation regulations.

“We have been in contact with crown counsel, but we are still in the investigation side, more to support the evidence that’s already there. We will be putting in a formal recommendation to crown counsel in the next few weeks,” Moriarty said June 14.

Six employees with Elite have been fired as a result

of the video, and although that action was expected and appropriate, said Moriarty, there were more than six people involved so the investigation is ongoing.

Elite Farm Services president Dwayne Dueck acknowledged the workers’ “senseless acts of violence” and said some of the company’s employees will have to wear b o d y c a m e ra s i n t h e f u t u re.

Recordings are then to be viewed by supervisors each day.

Chicken Farmers of Canada said there is no defense for mistreatment of birds.

“We welcome the support of any authority, from B.C. SPCA to the RCMP, whoever wants to take action with respect to this matter,” said CFC communications manager Lisa Bishop Spencer.

“This is animal abuse. This is why we’re supporting the B.C. SPCA in their investigation because we want to make sure that the people accountable for these depraved acts are punished to the full extent of the law.”

Moriarty said the whistleblower who shot the video says chicken abuse was reported to supervisors at Elite but no action was taken.

“Obviously we need to deal with the actions that were depicted in the video, but also there’s the inactions,” she said.

A case of dairy cow abuse at Chilliwack Cattle Sales in 2014 set a precedent when the company and

its owners were held responsible for their employees’ actions and fined. Some of the employees were sentenced to jail time.

Moriarty said those precedents could be factors in this case.

As well, she said the SPCA would like the national poultry code of practice attached to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, just as the dairy code of practice was attached after the Chilliwack Cattle sales abuse case.

Elite Farm Services was contracted by Sofina Foods, a B.C. processor, to catch chickens at various farms and transport them to the plant.

In a statement issued June 14, Sofina said it is working with others in the industr y to review and enhance its policies. The company said it has demanded a detailed accounting of actions Elite plans to undertake and it will institute additional monitoring and surveillance of chicken handling activities.

Sofina markets products under the Lilydale brand and supplies chicken to Loblaw’s chain of grocery stores. Loblaw issued its own statement last week condemning the actions shown in the video.

The national code of practice for the care and handling of broiler chickens lists requirements for catching, loading and unloading chickens. Canadian chicken farmers follow the code and also have an audited animal care program in place.

“We have a mandate to implement our mandatory animal care program and that mandatory animal care program, our regulatory authority, allows us to implement that program from the time birds are placed in barn to where they’re prepared for transit to the processor,” said Bishop Spencer.

“While that program doesn’t cover the catching and transport and processing, we definitely have responsibility over those areas, and that’s why we’re working with our industry stakeholders to make sure that we’re covering off all the areas of the chain to make sure that something like what we’ve seen does not happen.”

The CFC, SPCA, Sofina and others in the industry have already met to discuss the video and how to ensure no further abuse occurs. Moriarty said the video is proof that there are gaps in the supply chain in terms of animal welfare protection.

Although the CFC has good animal welfare programs, she said, subsequent links in the chain don’t have similar standards or audits.

“What happens in that last 10 percent of that chicken’s life when, arguably it’s the most stressful part of their life, and who is responsible? And I think in order to gain the confidence back of the public, of the consumer, that needs to be addressed.” barb.glen@producer.com

YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER

CANOLA’S COMPETITIVE THREAT IS HERE » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 However, Motter said the company has been “poised and ready” for years to launch the product.

U.S. growers planted an estimated 700,000 acres of high oleic soybeans in 2017, the vast majority of which are DuPont Pioneer’s Plenish soybeans. Plenish is still awaiting full approval in the European Union. Motter expects that to come this summer.

He believes acres will double next year and every subsequent year for the foreseeable future now that Vistive Gold has global approval.

“It gives us the opportunity to reach our stated goals of having 18 million acres of high oleic soybeans here in the United States by 2025,” he said.

Dave Dzisiak, commercial leader grains and oils at Dow AgroSciences, the manufacturer of Nexera canola, said high oleic canola has enjoyed a huge head start on its competition.

That has allowed the product to make inroads in the U.S. market where it has been displacing hydrogenated soybean oil.

“Certainly it’s nice to have the market to yourself for a while like that, longer than what we had thought,” he said.

Dzisiak expects a full-on market brawl because the U.S. soybean industry is not pleased that canola oil has rapidly become the second most popular food oil in the U.S. It is gearing up to win back the market share it has lost to high oleic canola and other oils.

“So we need to be as good as we can be and have the whole supply chain look to maintain the markets we have established and created for ourselves,” he said.

Motter was a little more conciliatory in his comments.

“Certainly I think there’s room in the market for everybody,” he said.

However, he later acknowledged that the goal is to win back market share lost to canola and palm oil.

2.5 million ACRES OF HIGH OLEIC CANOLA WERE PLANTED THIS YEAR. Dzisiak considers Vistive Gold to be the bigger threat because it has a fatty acid profile that mimics Dow’s omega 9 oil.

“It has got a high oleic profile like omega 9, it has the same low linolenic profile as omega 9 but it also has low saturates, and that’s a first,” he said.

“That’s where canola has always been a unique product, and this could really change that.”

One thing canola has going for it is its track record of reliable supply combined with good functionality.

“In the end it’s going to come down to, ‘are we price competitive and then how is our functional

competitiveness?’ ” said Dzisiak.

He said canola oil has become price competitive because of growers expanding production and the weak Canadian dollar.

Canadian growers planted 2.5 million acres of high oleic canola this year, or about 11 percent of total acres.

Motter believes the soybean industry has a leg up on canola because of its size and proximity to end users of the product.

“We certainly think we have advantages in soybeans because of the wide geographic area where we can grow soybeans,” he said.

Dzisiak said the industry’s vast production capabilities could also be its downfall because U.S. soybean crush facilities are massive and are not made for segregation.

“They are meant to run flat out all day,” he said.

Meanwhile, the smaller and more nimble Canadian canola crush plants are devoting one-quarter to one-third of their capacity to pro-

cessing high oleic canola.

In addition, Canadian growers have plenty of on-farm storage and grow a wide diversity of crops, so they are used to flowing product into the system as required.

Dzisiak said high oleic soybeans have good functionality, but studies and anecdotal reports from oil customers have indicated that there are taste issues with the product when frying potato chips.

“We know some large people in packaged goods that aren’t testing it anymore even,” he said.

Motter said switching from processing conventional soybeans to high oleic soybeans will not be nearly as onerous a process once there is full global approval in place for both Monsanto’s and DuPont’s products.

As well, he disputed Dzisiak’s criticism about product palatability.

“I’ve eaten a lot of high oleic potato chips and I guess I’m not too concerned about the taste,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

CROP CONDITION

Rain too late for U.S. spring wheat Parts of North and South Dakota are seeing moderate or severe drought and production forecasts crop conditions are getting worse

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The U.S. spring wheat crop is still in trouble despite recent rainfall.

Jim Peterson, marketing director of the North Dakota Wheat Commission, said the rain came too late for much of the crop in South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana.

“You can’t call it a timely rain because a week sooner certainly would have been much more helpful,” he said.

The average U.S. spring wheat yield over the past five years is 46.4 bushels per acre.

Peterson thinks this year’s crop will be in the mid-30s because of drought, poor emergence and early-season heat stress.

He is forecasting 400 million bushels of production, down from 534 million last year because of reduced yields and acres.

Rainfall in the northern U.S. Plains was 60 to 75 percent below average for the three months preceding last week’s storms.

As of June 13, 83 percent of North Dakota was in moderate or severe drought, while 79 percent of South Dakota and the eastern third of Montana was abnormally d r y o r i n moderate to severe drought, according to the U.S. drought monitor.

As of June 18, only 41 percent of the U.S. spring wheat crop was in good to excellent condition, down from 45 percent the week before and much poorer than last year’s 76 percent.

In North Dakota, only 18 percent of durum was rated good to excellent, down from 77 percent last year.

The dryness in spring wheat areas and expectations of a low protein hard red winter wheat crop have led to a rally in Minneapolis wheat futures. The July contract rose 53 3/4 cents per bushel during the first half of June.

“In my mind there’s still room for further upside,” said Peterson.

Of the wheat-related crops, durum would be the one that is going to be the most impacted by missing this rain.

BRUCE BURNETT GLACIER FARMMEDIA

in the western Dakotas and eastern Montana received only 13 millimetres of rain last week.

“It certainly is not the type of rainf a l l t hat y o u n e e d t o b re a k a drought,” he said.

Burnett agreed with Peterson that there has already been some yield damage to the early seeded crop in the dry areas.

“It’s pretty dire now,” he said.

“The crops are going to continue to deteriorate in those regions.”

Most of the U.S. durum crop is grown in western North Dakota, which is in the heart of the drought.

“Of the wheat-related crops, durum would be the one that is going to be the most impacted by missing this rain,” said Burnett.

He said that while the U.S. is awash in wheat, the spring wheat situation is a lot tighter than winter wheat and there will be stronger than usual demand because of the need to blend spring wheat with a low protein winter wheat crop.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 5.86 million tonnes of spring wheat carryout

from 2016-17, which is only slightly more than the five-year average of 5.28 million tonnes.

Peterson said in addition to the lack of moisture, the U.S. spring w h e at c ro p w a s d a mag e d by unusually high temperatures and strong winds early in the growing season.

The crop is thin on hilltops and shorter than usual. Some growers are consulting with crop insurance officials about writing off this year’s crop and planting hay or millet for their cattle.

Spring wheat imports from Canada have tailed off in recent years, but that trend will likely be reversed in 2017-18.

“Imports would have to increase a bit just to fill some of the gaps,” said Peterson.

Rain helps in Canada Burnett said the recent rain was really helpful for Canada’s spring wheat crop because it is at an earlier stage of development than the U.S. crop.

“The wheat is in generally good condition,” he said.

The exception would be the areas that missed the rain, such as southcentral Saskatchewan.

Alberta reports that its crops are in better-than-average condition for this time of year. Saskatchewan says crop development has improved with the warm and wet weather, and topsoil moisture has been replenished.

Manitoba soil conditions improved with the recent rain. sean.pratt@producer.com

CARCASSES SHRINK

Spring fed cattle market tops expectations Revived consumer demand and smaller carcasses lifted prices

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Cattle markets are doing better than Anne Wasko forecast last fall, but the analyst says producers shouldn’t get complacent.

“What goes up will also go the other direction,” the president of Cattle Trends Inc. said after a presentation at the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association annual convention June 12.

Wasko also said Western Canada’s feed costs are such that it was at a feeding disadvantage to the U.S. since March 2014 but is currently enjoying an advantage because of the large supply of feed wheat after last year’s wet, late harvest.

“That in my opinion helped pressure barley prices down at the feed level and that suddenly kind of put the scales back in favour of a costof-gain advantage,” she said.

Wasko reminded producers that they are heading toward the fall run

low, but she expects the factors that have helped the market through the first half of the year —smaller carcass weights and strong marketings — could soften that low. The seasonal price lows could be pushed back into the fall.

“If we normally drop 15 percent on fed cattle prices between now and late summer, maybe it’s now and well into that third quarter, into that October time frame, possibly,” she said.

Stretching that out buys a little

Carcass weights have plunged from record high levels last year as changing market dynamics rewarded feedlots that sold cattle early instead of adding more pounds. The lighter carcasses mean more cattle must be slaughtered to produce the same amount of beef.

more time with profitability, she added. karen.briere@producer.com

Volatility continues to characterize the market, she said, noting the 2016 spring high for U.S. fed cattle was about $1.40 per pound. Prices dropped by 30 percent to the October lows and then rebounded a whopping 50 percent through the first half of 2017.

Wasko said several factors are at play.

Cattle numbers are strong, she said, but when cattle don’t go on feed because of poor prices or margins, suddenly fewer are available.

“Then when the markets turn positive, profitable, cattle feeders start to move cattle much more aggressively,” she said.

Packers are moving as many head through as they can.

After years of adding tonnage to the market through increased carcass size, dressed weights in Canada were a surprising 60 lb. smaller this spring than a year ago and are currently about 35 lb. lower.

It was a similar story in the United States. Lighter carcasses are price positive.

As well, last year’s low cattle prices finally translated to lower beef prices at the retail level, causing consumer demand.

“Consumers got excited about eating more beef, both in the U.S. and Canada, and we saw that in the consumption data,” Wasko said.

“Our prices since February have come up 30 percent at the wholesale level.”

Consumption is up about one pound per person and steady retail prices have resulted in a demand increase of two percent.

The Canadian herd remains unchanged over the last seven years at 3.83 million head and about 1.5 million head smaller than the post-BSE high.

The two largest provincial herds, in Alberta and Saskatchewan, also remain flat at 2.7 to 2.8 million cows.

Heifer placements are up 11 percent year over year, and steer placements are up seven percent, while cull rates are holding at 11 percent.

Australian state has ‘desperately dry’ weather Production forecasts for wheat and canola could fall in western regions

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An emerging drought in Western Australia could reduce wheat and canola production in that state.

The western portion of the state has experienced “serious and severe rainfall deficiencies” during the fall months of March to May, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

Large portions of the state have received rain that is in the lowest 10 percent of historical observations. As well, the winter (June-August) forecast calls for more dry conditions.

About 35 percent of the country’s wheat crop and 48 percent of its canola is grown in Western Australia, which is the country’s largest wheat exporting state.

lia is certainly a concern because the winter wheat is having difficulty getting established,” said Bruce Burnett, director of markets and weather with Glacier FarmMedia.

TASMANIA

Some growers may be holding off on planting the crop until they see rain.

“It is desperately dry there,” he said.

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) is forecasting 40.1 million tonnes of total winter crop production, down 33 percent from the previous year but in line with the five-year average before the stellar 2016-17 crop.

Burnett thinks it could be smaller than that if conditions don’t improve in Western Australia.

“You can’t have an average crop in Australia if Western Australia is having drought,” he said.

Wheat production is forecast at 24.2 million tonnes, which would be eight percent below the previous five-year average. Canola output is pegged at 3.3 million tonnes, an 11 percent decline.

It is also dry in large portions of South Australia, which is also a big producer of wheat, canola and lentils.

Rainfall has been average or better in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland in the eastern part of the country.

Those three states are home to 98 percent of the country’s chickpea

production and 37 percent of its lentils with the remainder of the country’s lentils grown in South Australia.

Burnett said the pulse crop is off to a good start, but it is far from being made.

Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology expects drier than average conditions for most of the country’s crop growing regions for June through August. Temperatures are expected to be higher than average in Western and South Australia.

The bureau said there is a 50 percent chance of El Nino developing in 2017, which is double the normal likelihood.

If that happens it would lead to a dry finish for the pulse crops in the eastern portion of the country, said Burnett.

ABARES is currently forecasting 1.4 million tonnes of chickpeas, a 46 percent increase over the previous five-year average, and 530,000 tonnes of lentils, a 50 percent bigger-than-average crop. sean.pratt@producer.com

CATTLE EXPANSION

Chinese beef buyers race to get hands on American steak

Canadian beef demand up despite higher prices

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BEIJING (Reuters) — Chinese meat importers are racing to get their hands on the first shipments of beef from the United States in 14 years, as strong demand for premium steaks continues to grow in the US$2.6 billion beef import market.

China and the United States this month settled the conditions for American beef exports after the two sides agreed in May to resume the trade. Pent-up demand for U.S. meat could erode sales of Australian beef, China’s current top supplier of premium steaks. “ We hav e o rd e re d 5 6 t o 5 8 tonnes of whole carcasses, which are expected to arrive by the end of July,” said Chen Fugang, owner of Aoyang International, a Shanghaibased trading company.

Chen said he expects the product to be a hit in the Chinese market, where total beef sales grew around four percent last year to reach 5.9 million tonnes, according to Euromonitor.

“We’re especially interested in several barbecue products, like rib eye and fillet steak, which we believe Chinese customers would like,” added Chen.

American beef is known for its quality in China, but was banned in 2003 after a BSE scare. Since then, other beef imports have surged as domestic production has struggled to keep up with demand from the expanding middle class.

Total beef imports rose 22 percent to 579,836 tonnes last year.

Foreign suppliers will meet about 20 percent of total demand by 2020, forecasts Rabobank.

“The number of enquiries to our exporters number in the hundreds, if not low thousands, since the announcement of the agree-

Chinese consumer demand is strong for U.S. beef, which is currently less expensive than Australian beef. | REUTERS PHOTO ment,” said Joel Haggard, senior vice-president of the U.S. Meat Export Federation in Asia-Pacific.

Increased competition for the lucrative premium market will stir concerns in Australia, where drought in recent years has cut the herd size.

Similar quality cuts of U.S. beef are expected to be cheaper than Australian meat because of low U.S. grain prices, a large component of the cost of raising cattle.

Chen, who sells Australian and New Zealand beef to five-star hotels and high-end restaurants, declined to reveal the price for his U.S. cargoes, adding that customs and handling fees still needed to be factored in.

But the product would be cheaper than Australian beef, he added.

“Price is a key (selling) point, as U.S. beef is cheaper than Australian beef of the same quality,” he said.

Despite the high interest, strict Chinese import conditions will limit shipments of American beef initially. As well, U.S. prices are also high currently, warned Haggard.

“This isn’t going to be a wave of product coming in. It’s going to roll in slowly,” he said.

Australian beef will still see strong demand, said Michael Finucan, general manager of international markets at Meat & Livestock Australia.

Australia’s grass-fed beef is seen as more environmentally sustainable than American in some markets, he said. And, unlike the U.S., the country can export refrigerated beef to China, tapping into demand from high-end retailers.

However, for some, U.S. beef has the edge.

“I have been in this industry for a long time. In my view, U.S. beef tastes more tender,” said Chen.

EDMONTON — U.S. cow herd expansion is the fastest in 40 years, yet the Canadian cattle population has remained stable for seven years.

Recent Canadian census data showed Alberta had a three percent increase in beef cows for 2016.

“We haven’t seen much change in our cattle growth, but we have seen more slaughter cattle around in Canada,” said Brian Perillat, market analyst with Canfax.

Market shifts have resulted in fewer live animals leaving the country, and slaughter rates have increased at home, where prices for finished cattle are highly competitive.

“At times, Alberta had the strongest prices in North America for fat cattle,” he said at a June 13 Alberta Beef Producers meeting in Edmonton.

Two weeks ago 42,000 fed cattle were killed, which was one of the largest amounts in five or six years.

Feeder cattle are also staying close to home. Exports are down 43 percent so far this year, totalling 71,628 head.

Canadian beef demand has been a positive story even when retail prices climbed higher. The bulk of consumer dollars is still spent on beef, and there has also been a small uptick in per capita consumption.

The packing, feeding and cowcalf sectors are making money at this point.

Feedlot profits were around $500 to $600 per head in 2014 and 2015, but this year they have reached more than $700 a head.

However, there were some big losses last year because feeders had to pay record prices for calves.

They had to feed them to much heavier than normal weights to minimize their financial losses.

Steer carcasses were averaging close to 900 pounds last year compared to recent numbers showing they are down to around 830 lb.

“The heavy carcasses we were seeing in late 2016 were these very expensive calves and pushed their way through the system and turned into losses for the feedlots,” he said.

Cow-calf profits are all over the map.

“Cow-calf prices have been volatile, but generally we are aiming for a profitable year for the sector this year,” he said.

He predicted a softer fed market this fall, depending on the Canadian dollar and feed costs.

Alberta cull cow prices are at a premium to the United States, so the cow slaughter here is a bit higher and there are fewer exports.

The U.S. w ill see more beef available as its expanding calf crop goes to market, but volume should not be burdensome because export markets continue to develop.

A recent U.S. deal with China sounds promising but includes caveats. No beta agonists are allowed, and traceback is expected. The cuts are similar to a deal that Canada achieved a couple years ago.

Perillat calculated that less than 10 percent of U.S. cattle would be able to meet the requirements of the Chinese market.

Canada has also diversify and increase its export markets.

The U.S. accounts for 71.5 percent of Canadian exports versus 77 percent last year. The rest goes to Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico and China.

The five biggest exporters to Canada came from the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay and Brazil.

Food shopping experience could change as world’s largest retailer applies its model MARKET WATCH

N

ews that Amazon is buying Whole Foods Market for US$13.7 billion probably did not make a big impact in the minds of prairie grain farmers busy monitoring for pests and spraying weeds.

However, it could create a food retail sector shake-up that would vibrate down the food chain.

The stock markets and business analysts were consumed by the news.

The word “transformative” turned up a lot in the news stories looking at the deal.

Share prices fell for most of the publicly traded companies that retail groceries, from global giant Walmart to Canada’s Loblaws and Sobeys. The market expects that profit margins will narrow even more as grocers compete not only among themselves but also face the force of nature that is Amazon.

With a market capitalization of $487.8 billion, Amazon is the world’s fourth biggest corporation and the world’s biggest retailer.

It is the leader among growing online shopping sites that threaten the survival of former retail giants such as Sears.

Will food retailing be any different?

The Whole Foods acquisition gives Amazon a network of almost 460 stores, mostly in North America.

There are 13 of them in Canada.

Whole Foods has catered to a young, wealthy demographic interested in organic food. | Whole Foods is not a major player in the big picture of North American food sales, but it is the dominant player in selling organic food to an upscale, youthful demographic.

Amazon has sold food for a while, but it has not been a big seller for the company.

Analysts think that AmazonWhole Foods could make a bigger splash if it can harness Amazon’s ability to use technology and size to drive down costs and figure out how to home deliver produce and other fresh food.

It could also increase its presence in the fast growing field of pick-up and home delivered meals.

And all this is also reinforced by the growing legion of Amazon Prime subscribers, which from what I read is sort of a membership environment where users increasingly turn to Amazon to

supply all of their needs.

If you are a grain or livestock producer, you’ll likely never sell directly to Amazon, but eventually you might feel the indirect effects of this deal.

Amazon’s effort to pressure suppliers for better deals could work back through the supply chain, resulting in lower prices paid to farmers.

If you are an organic produce farmer, then you could be tied a little closer and feel the effects more quickly and directly. But then again, maybe you would benefit if the Amazon-Whole Foods partnership can expand the organic market.

This deal also should be of interest to farmers already directly connected w ith consumers through farmers markets, onfarm stores, restaurant supply or community shared agriculture.

The Amazon-Whole Foods deal

is designed in part to take advantage of two consumer trends — buying almost everything online and having it delivered, and growing interest in knowing how your food is grown.

This deal will likely spread these trends even further and faster.

There could be opportunities for small producers to capture a niche part of it by adding in the local food, person-to-person connections that some consumers are also looking for.

You might not have the resources to home deliver, but as commu n i t y -s ha re d a g r i c u l t u re already shows, some consumers like the convenience of picking up a box of fresh food without having to trudge though the grocery aisles.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE LOWER The Canfax weighted average fed steer price was $160.79 per hundredweight, down $9.95. Overall trade was light and almost no heifers traded.

Chicago cattle futures fell below technical support and traded sharply lower, setting a bearish tone for the cash market.

Spooked American feedlots sold mostly at prices $3-$5 lower live and $5-$7 per cwt. lower rail grade.

Cash prices were still at a premium to the nearby futures.

Packers had more market power with lots of forward-contracted cattle to draw on.

Beef demand often starts to retreat after the July holidays and as the hotter weather arrives.

The Alberta cash-to-futures basis firmed a little to -$4.14, but that was weaker than the five-year average for June.

We e k l y w e s t e r n C a n a d i a n slaughter was down eight percent

at 38,643 head. Slaughter is up seven percent for the year.

On average, the decline from the seasonal spring high to the summer low is 16.3 percent. However, the decline from the early May high is already at 16 percent so the percentage decline this year will likely be larger.

Carcass weights, which have been lower this year, are now starting to creep up and the number of market-ready cattle should rise.

COWS STEADY D1, D2 cows ranged $105-$118 per cwt. to average $111.30, down 33 cents. D3 cows ranged $90-$105 to average $98.13. Rail grade cows ranged $207-$212.

Most cows are going to slaughter, but speculators are buying a few to feed until the seasonally strong August market.

Slaughter bulls remained mostly steady at $129.31, up 22 cents from the previous week.

Non-fed volumes are expected to tighten, which should keep prices firm into the second half of June.

FEEDERS STEADY TO LOWER Some of the feeders on offer in Alberta were light to mid-weight stockers, and prices were supported by good demand from those who want to put the cattle on grass.

There were only a few cattle 800 pounds and heavier, and the small lots and variable quality led to lower average prices.

A few yearlings were priced for late summer-early fall delivery at prices $4 to $5 lower on the week.

To assess market risk, here is an analysis of buying a 1,000 lb. steer for September delivery at $185 per cwt. targeting the January fed market.

Assuming an all-in cost of gain of 95 cents per lb. and a finished weight of 1,500 lb., you would need a $155 per cwt. fed price to break even.

Using today’s January futures price and an average cash-to-

futures basis for January of -$7.72 puts projected fed cattle at the mid $140s, a money losing level.

To break even, the purchase price would have to be closer to $170, or the January futures price would have to rally about seven percent.

CANADIAN CATTLE ON FEED There were 881,445 head in Alberta and Saskatchewan feedlots in June, up five percent from the same time last year.

The strong fed market in May caused feedlots to push cattle onto the market. Marketings were 138,111 head, up 15 percent from the same month last year.

Strong prices also encouraged placements of 121,548 head, the most since 2009 and an increase of 65 percent over the very slow placements in May last year.

A lot of the placements were lighter than usual and so yearling supplies in August and September could be tight.

U.S. BEEF STEADY U.S. Choice cutouts to June 15 were US$249.74 per cwt., down 65 cents, and Select was $220.53, up 52 cents.

Beef held up well considering the drop in fed cattle, but prices usually fall in second half of June.

Canadian AAA cutouts to June 10 were C$315.99, up $1.61. AA was $277.92, down $1.80.

AAA slipped in May and rebounded in June while AA has been falling since mid-May. The AAA-Choice spread is at -$22 per cwt. compared to -13 cents last year.

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

ANIMAL ABUSE

If livestock sector fails to police against abuse, government will

F

armers tend to view covert video taken by activists working as temporary employees as invasive at best and sinister at worst.

Trouble is, the tactic keeps showing its worth by revealing abuse of livestock; abuse that can’t be tolerated by the agriculture industry or by society as a whole.

Such was the case at several British Columbia poultry operations when undercover video taken by an activist with Mercy for Animals showed a crew of chicken catchers kicking, throwing and driving over live chickens and committing other egregious acts best left undescribed here.

The abuse was videoed over a period of weeks in May and June at several chicken operations in the Fraser Valley. The B.C. SPCA is investigating, and criminal charges against the perpetrators are likely.

The motivation for such reprehensible behaviour defies understanding.

Glaringly obvious, on the other hand, is the need for more supervision, more training, careful screening of prospective employees and more attention to livestock welfare at every link in the food chain.

Like most other livestock sectors in Canada, chicken producers have a national code of practice for the care and handling of poultry.

As stated under requirements for catching, loading and unloading, “catching crews must be supervised by a competent individual” and a “producer or a competent designee” should be on hand to assist.

That was clearly not the case in the Fraser Valley incidents.

Canadian chicken farmers also adhere to an additional mandatory animal care

program that is audited and enforced. It states that “the responsibility of catching and loading is shared between farmers and processors.”

And what of contractors like Elite Farm Services, the company that hired the chicken catchers in this case of abuse?

What of any secondary business that services the livestock industry and has employees who come in contact with livestock?

This video shows they should have enforced protocols and standards as well.

The chicken industry has identified this. As a result of the video, producers, marketing boards and processors have started reviewing their practices and plugging the gaps where livestock abuse might occur.

Elite has already said it will equip some workers with body cameras in the future to ensure birds are handled properly.

How sad that such work and such measures are necessary. How sad that some people can’t be relied upon, without supervision, to treat animals humanely and with respect.

But if the industry fails to police itself regarding animal welfare, the public will demand that the government do it instead, likely with a heavier hand and less understanding of agricultural practices and needs.

This instance of cruelty to chickens will encourage more covert, undercover videos to be taken at livestock operations.

They’ll stop only when there’s either nothing extraordinary to show or when society stops eating meat. Ensuring the former will prevent the latter.

SOIL HEALTH

We’re losing … about half the amount of soil that we’re producing in terms of grain that we’re harvesting. I don’t think that’s something to be proud of. We’re on a declining slope here in Canada and it’s the same all over the world.

CONSUMER STUDY

Biotechnology remains a mystery for many Canadians CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

C

anadians “generally do not have a solid understanding of what exactly the term ‘biotechnology’ refers to,” according to recently released public opinion research collected by Nielsen Consumer Insights on behalf of Agriculture Canada.

In July 2016, the department issued a contract asking Nielsen Consumer Insights to conduct a “comprehensive research project to measure Canadian consumers perceptions and attitudes towards issues related to domestic agriculture and agri-food.”

The research would help provide insight while developing the next

agriculture policy framework, which comes into force in 2018.

The data was collected via a series of focus groups, telephone calls and online consultations.

Overall, researchers found 88 percent of those surveyed have a “generally positive or neutral” view of biotechnology.

“Canadians generally feel that biotechnology will have a positive impact on their future, placing it near the top of a selection of new and emerging technologies in terms of this promise,” researchers told Agriculture Canada.

However, Canadian knowledge and view on specific forms of biotechnology varies widely.

Researchers found that most of the people who were surveyed struggled to give examples of biotechnology used in agriculture.

Participants typically offered up examples used within the medical and health care fields, such as stem cells, antibiotics and robotics.

“The association of the term ‘biotechnology’ with health applications may be an indication that it is

profiting from a halo effect,” researchers warned.

“This could lead to people feeling that biotechnology is positive because the applications that they associate with it promote human well-being.”

Researchers reported an aversion to applications of biotechnology that consumers felt had “the potential to upset the “natural order”’ or would allow scientists to “play god.”

“The closer the application could be seen in terms of living, breathing organisms, the more resistance there was to the specific applications,” such as genetically modified animals.

Researchers found less than half (46 percent) of the Canadians surveyed were familiar with the concept of GM animals, which has dropped from previous years.

Canadians weren’t particularly comfortable with the idea. Many within the focus groups raised “moral or ethical concerns about it.”

“People were much more likely to see the potential risks of GM animals as outweighing the benefits than

they were likely to see with other technologies,” the report reads.

Those technologies include biofuel, gene editing and genetically modified fish, including fish that could be used to produce insulin for diabetic human patients.

Despite specific consumer concerns around certain applications, researchers found Canadians have not rejected biotechnology all together.

Consumer opinions are built based on the specific use presented and individual knowledge of that particular form of biotechnology, researchers said.

“In other words, there does not appear to be a blanket approval or rejection of biotechnologies themselves.”

That’s good news for Canadian agriculture, where participants stressed Canada could easily become a world leader in the agriculture and food biotechnology research field. That conviction, researchers found, is increasing as more attention is paid to it.

“It is possible that this is due to the

growing role that these technologies are playing in our food supply and a higher level of media attention,” Agriculture Canada was told.

“Similarly, people agree that these technologies will be developed elsewhere in the world where regulations and control may be less stringent,” the report said, which is a situation Canadians said they would like to avoid. The federal government, respondents said, has an “important role to play” in the biotechnology field.

Over the course of the study, 875 Canadians were contacted last year by phone between Aug. 31 and Sept. 17 and Dec. 1-13. The phone portion of the research has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent.

& OPEN FORUM AMERICAN AID CUTS

CLASSIFIED ADS

Policy change could improve foreign aid

Introducing Farmzilla.com

BY JOHN LONGHURST

U

nited States President Donald Trump is proposing to cut millions of dollars from the U.S. aid budget.

How will this affect the world’s poor?

The impact will be, to quote the President, “huge.”

The U.S. is the world’s biggest foreign aid donor, contributing nearly a quarter of development assistance provided by all major governments. Drastic cuts to the aid budget will have serious consequences for combating poverty and disease, protecting the rights of women and minorities, and addressing problems of a changing climate.

As the U.S. director of Norwegian Refugee Council put it: “The question is not if human lives will be lost as a result of President Trump’s decision to slash spending on foreign aid and diplomacy; the question is how many and how soon.”

Noting that the foreign aid budget is less than one percent of the overall U.S. federal budget, he added that “the potential savings do not justify the cost in terms of the lives lost and the negative impact on vulnerable people around the world.”

But the effects of the cuts won’t only be felt overseas; they could come back to haunt the U.S. and other western nations if poverty, disease, and conflict spread across international borders.

As American philanthropist and humanitarian Bill Gates pointed out, in response to the proposed aid cuts, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa that killed more than 11,000

U.S. food aid must be supplied by American farmers and transported by American ships, even if there are cheaper alternatives. | GETTY PHOT0 people would have been much worse if health workers supported

by American aid money had not helped to prevent the spread of the disease to neighboring Nigeria — an international travel hub that’s home to 180 million people.

But if Trump really wants to save money and reduce waste in foreign aid, there is an easy place to do it — one that aid groups would welcome and applaud. That way would be by untying U.S. food aid.

The U.S. is the world’s biggest food assistance donor, reaching about 46 million people every year, who face serious food shortages

because of disasters and conflicts.

But legislative mandates in that country require that U.S. food aid is tied to American suppliers and shippers — it must be bought from American farmers and transported on U.S. ships, even if there are cheaper alternatives.

These locked-in inefficiencies have cost billions in American taxpayer dollars, and diminished America’s capacity to help the world’s most vulnerable people in places like Syria, Sudan, and northeastern Nigeria.

By untying its food aid — by allowing aid groups to use money

from the U.S. to buy food closer to areas of needs, and not have to ship it from the U.S. — Americans could save an estimated US$400 million per year, or about a third of their country’s food aid budget.

Other major donor countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, and the European Union have led the way by untying their food aid, and now primarily use locally and regionally sourced food assistance, along with cash and vouchers — so there are good models to follow.

There is support for this approach among U.S. lawmakers in both parties, and even the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute has endorsed it.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely to happen. The U.S. farm and shipping lobbies, which earn large amounts of money from the current tied-aid system, have succeeded in maintaining the status quo. And with Trump’s “America first” thinking, he will probably not want to eliminate a subsidy that supports American companies, even if it would make financial sense to do so.

Of course, the proposed budget is just that — a proposal. The cuts may not be passed by the U.S. Congress.

But regardless of what happens, the direction that the new President wants to take America has injected a lot of uncertainty into the world of foreign aid. It remains to be seen how other countries, including Canada, respond.

MONEY TALKS

Economic returns drive farming practices HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

M

any of the new, upcoming practices concerning soil health and proper management continue to be guided by beliefs rather than strong evidence of improved economic returns, and that is slowing their adoption.

Europeans used to overwhelmingly believe the world was flat. It was heresy to say otherwise.

That’s the way it was for summerfallow in Western Canada for a long time. People used to believe the soil needed a rest. When soil scientist Don Rennie of the University of Saskatchewan proclaimed some of the evils of summerfallow back in the early 1980s, his views were controversial.

Even if you accepted the soil science on loss of organic matter and increase in salinity, summerfallow was still considered a necessary evil because you needed to store up soil moisture for a year to have a better chance of growing a decent crop once every two years.

When farmers started using more nitrogen fertilizer and growing nitrogen fixing crops such as peas and lentils and had success with continuous cropping, they were just lucky. The next drought would teach them a lesson and they’d be back to summerfallow.

Intentional summerfallow, now practiced as chem fallow, hasn’t been entirely eliminated. Some producers, particularly in westcentral Saskatchewan, still cling to the practice. However, acreage has been on a downward spiral for decades.

The Holy Grail in recent times has been direct seeding and minimum tillage. Tillage has been practically taboo in the minds of many growers. Slowly that pendulum has shifted a bit.

High rainfall years, equipment ruts and heavy residue levels have pushed some growers into selective tillage. Now there are some experts who say strategic tillage isn’t such a bad thing.

The newest wave of cropping theory strives for diversity and mimicking nature. There’s growing interest in inter-cropping, in which a couple of different crops are grown at the same time.

These practices would seem to make sense from a holistic management point of view. Advocates argue that soil health must be better with a more diverse mix of plants rather than monoculture.

However, it seems to be a movement driven more by philosophy than economic data, so it’s yet to catch on in a major way.

Another practice of interest is controlled traffic farming, in which farmers follow the same tracks for seeding, spraying and harvesting.

While some studies have shown little benefit under western Canadian conditions, proponents claim less soil compaction, reduced fuel

consumption and higher yields.

In the end, the big driver has always been economics. That’s why intentional summerfallow has almost been eliminated. That’s the main reason direct seeding was adopted. That’s the only thing that will make cover crops, inter-cropping and controlled traffic farming mainstream.

For every producer trying to do the right thing with cover crops and intercropping, there are a hundred or maybe a thousand others growing canola in a very tight rotation to maximize returns.

Many growers do it believing it improves their bottom line.

When philosophy and economics align, as they did with direct seeding and the reduction of summerfallow, it’s a powerful force.

Farming practices can evolve rapidly. On the other hand, if the economic incentive is marginal or long term, change is slow.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

C

lassified ads hold a special place in farming culture, and that includes The Western Producer.

I’ve heard readers say they only get The Producer for the classifieds, in the same way that some say they only subscribed to Playgirl magazine for the articles. There is some truth in there, but you have to dig into it with a pitchfork to find it.

The fact is that farmers engage with The Producer on several levels, and classified ads are one them.

We now have a new tool for you: Farmzilla.com.

The Producer has one of the largest classified sections of any newspaper in North America. And while it has become smaller over the years, it remains an important part of a package of information about our industry.

Producers use it not only to buy and sell their equipment and products but also to inform themselves about the marketplace and discover the value of their own assets and any trends that might be developing. Not to mention there is a certain degree of entertainment in there, if agriculture is your thing.

And nearly everyone in Western Canada knows of someone who found a spouse using the personal ads section — header 5950 for those who don’t know.

Looking back to a 1931 edition of The Producer, I found in the “Want Ads” a farmer from Winnipeg Beach, Man., offering a 3 ½ ton Sterling truck and 20 inch Gleaner threshing unit. Lars Anderson of Langham, Sask., was peddling a Shorthorn bull, and a farmer from Naicam, Sask., was offering to sell his Hart Parr tractor at “half of its value.”

Land at Humboldt, Sask., was offered at $10 per acre, “close to the elevator.” In the Regina Plains, $4,000 would buy a quarter of “heavy wheat land,” but the farmer would rather trade for pasture.

After 95 years of offering classified ads, The Western Producer is stepping up its listings game.

Farmzilla.com is the new name. It takes in a bigger swath of machinery and other listings and makes them available online in one place.

Ads from our other Glacier FarmMedia products, such as AgDealer, the Manitoba Co-operator and Alberta Farmer Express, will round out the new home for our classifieds. With 35,000 listings, the one time tag line of “If we don’t list it, you don’t need it” could be making a comeback.

BUYING AND SELLING

Syngenta puts canola hybrids up for sale The company, which is being bought by China National Chemical Corp., is said to have put in a bid for Bayer’s LibertyLink assets

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Syngenta is leaving the canola business but could soon be coming back in a big way.

“We made a decision to exit the canola seed market,” said Chris Davison, head of corporate affairs Canada for Syngenta.

“That is a business decision based on consideration of a number of factors related to the current canola seed market in Canada.”

The company will continue to service its canola portfolio this year.

Davison would not provide any

CHRIS DAVISON SYNGENTA CANADA

further detail on what was behind the decision to stop promoting and selling the company’s six canola hybrids. “ There are multiple factors

involved for sure,” he said.

“We look at that holistically, where the market is today and where it may be going in the future.”

The company’s foray into the canola market was short-lived. It launched its first hybrid in Western Canada in 2013.

However, there are rumours that Syngenta, which is in the process of being acquired by the China National Chemical Corp., may soon be re-entering the canola market as the dominant seed provider.

According to a Bloomberg story, Syngenta and BASF have submitted preliminary bids for Bayer’s

LibertyLink assets. Bayer has agreed to divest itself of those assets to appease regulators in its attempt to acquire Monsanto.

Bayer’s canola, cotton, LibertyLink and Liberty herbicide assets would fetch US$2.5 to $3 billion, according to the story. LibertyLink is the top selling canola system in Canada.

Davison would not comment on the rumour, but he did say the company’s decision to exit the canola business in Canada was not linked to the sale of Bayer’s LibertyLink assets.

who follows agricultural seed and chemical companies, has felt for a long time that BASF would be the logical buyer of Bayer’s assets.

In an investment research note he wrote a year ago, Faitz said BASF is the only one of the big-six companies not involved in a merger or takeover.

“We believe BASF has done the right thing so far,” he wrote.

Faitz accurately predicted that Bayer would have to jettison its LibertyLink franchise and speculated that with everybody else busy integrating companies, BASF would be one of the only buyers with a balance sheet capable of acquiring the assets he valued at $5.3 billion at the time.

“Since all other market participants will either be busy with their own deals or too small and with a different focus, BASF is likely to be one of the only bidders around,” he wrote.

“Hence, an extremely attractive seed platform would fall into its hands at decent multiples.”

BASF has no seed business other than a joint venture with Monsanto on DroughtGuard products, which are mostly corn varieties.

Faitz believed at the time that Dow may also be forced to get rid of its seed business worth $7.5 billion, but so far regulators have asked the company to sell only its Finesse and Rynaxypyr pesticides.

He said BASF could suddenly become a major player in the seed business without much effort.

“Competitors might be begging the company to take assets so they can fulfill regulatory requirements,” Faitz wrote.

Kevin Hursh, an agricultural commentator, thinks western Canadian growers would be happy with either Syngenta or BASF buying Bayer’s LibertyLink assets.

“They are reputable companies that have a long history in Western Canada,” he said.

“Even though they haven’t been strong on the seed end of things, they have a strong network and base and name recognition and I anticipate producers would be very comfortable with them owning those assets.”

Greg Sears, chair of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission, said the biggest thing growers want is diversity of supply and traits. He is pleased to hear that two wellfinanced companies are in the running for the LibertyLink assets.

“It’s good to have significant players that have the stability to provide funding support for development of new agronomic traits,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

DAIRY QUOTA

CGC surplus spending decision a long way off

Trade spat erupts over EU cheese import quota

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Canada’s dairy farmers and processors would not comment last week on reports of a spat brewing over cheese allocations under the incoming trade agreement with the European Union.

Most measures under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement are expected to take effect July 1. The agreement will allow an additional 16,000 tonnes of high-quality cheese and 1,700 tonnes of industrial cheese to enter Canada from the EU under tariff rate quotas.

Another 800 tonnes will be available through the technical adjustment of an existing TRQ. However, media reported last

Stakeholder suggestions for the money to be reviewed

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian grain growers have offered plenty of ideas on what the Canadian Grain Commission should do with an operating surplus valued at $107 million as of last September, whether it be buying new grain cars, spending it on plant breeding, overhauling the grain grading system or giving it back to farmers.

However, a final decision on how to manage the money could be months away, according to CGC officials.

“Stakeholder comments will be evaluated and taken into consideration as we move forward with identifying a proposal, or proposals, that will maximize value for producers and the industry,” said a CGC document that summarizes stakeholder views.

“Prior to carrying out any proposal, stakeholders may have further opportunity to provide input.”

Earlier this year, the grain commission launched a consultation process to determine how the $107 million surplus should be handled.

Its is the result of CGC service fees that generated more revenue than expected.

The 60-day consultation period concluded May 1 and generated 92 written submissions, the CGC summary document says.

The vast majority of stakeholders said the CGC surplus should be used to support activities that deliver clear benefits to producers.

Many respondents recognized the value of investing in grain commission infrastructure and indicated support for upgrades to the CGC’s grain research lab, improvements to CGC buildings and office systems and enhanced real-time analytical testing at terminal elevators and other locations.

However, others were opposed to spending the surplus on infrastructure projects because the user fees “were not explicitly collected for that purpose.”

Other suggestions included: • Using the surplus to offset or reduce future user fees.

• Using a portion of the surplus to improve the CGC’s producer protection program and increase its effectiveness for producers.

• Upgrading the CGC grain research laboratory, office space and base building systems.

• Establishing new labs and realtime analytical testing at terminal elevators.

• Modernizing or improving CGC services such as grain grading, mycotoxin testing, grade validation during vessel loading, dispute resolution and subject to grade and dockage services.

• Random audits of procedures and equipment used by grain companies to determine grade and dockage at delivery points.

• Investments in plant breeding aimed at discontinuing royalty collections.

• Spending the money to buy a producer-owned grain car fleet.

week that 60 percent of the TRQs would be allocated to Canadian dairy producers and importers, leaving Europeans concerned that they wouldn’t fill the quota to prevent imported cheese from competing against domestic product.

Jacques Lefebvre, chief executive officer of the Dairy Processors Association of Canada, said processors would reserve comment until the government announces the quota allocations.

“That said, 100 percent of the existing quota is being filled by Canadian importers,” he said.

“If this is a concern that reflects the EU views, it is unfounded.”

Dairy Farmers of Canada spokesperson Isabelle Bouchard said it had nothing to say about the report.

“We are waiting for the govern-

ment to announce the TRQ allocation for CETA,” she said.

That falls to International Trade Minister Francois-Phillippe Champagne. Consultations on the TRQs, including those for exporters, were held a year ago but no announcement has yet been made.

The Canadian industry is also waiting for information about how the government will help it adjust to the new market conditions.

Last fall, Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay announced $250 million for farmers to update equipment and $100 million to help processors modernize and diversify. There is nothing available to compensate producers for lost revenue, which DFC has pegged at $116 million a year. karen.briere@producer.com

FEDERAL PASTURES

Sask. ranchers oppose federal pasture partners Some pastures will be owned by Environment Canada, which ranchers fear will ‘change policies and plans’ on a whim

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Ranchers who use former federal pastures in southwestern Saskatchewan aren’t happy about a proposed land swap between Ottawa and Regina.

The plan would see the Nashlyn, Battle Creek and Govenlock pastures all operated by Environment Canada rather than the province.

In exchange, the province would obtain title to the non-reversionary, or federally owned land, in the former Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration pastures that have already transitioned to patrons.

This land includes 21 yard sites in the other 59 pastures.

Patrons from the southwestern pastures received a letter earlier this month advising them of the plan. A public meeting was held last week in Consul.

“There was approximately 70 to 80 people there from the community, mostly patrons, (who were) unanimous that they did not want to have Environment Canada as a partner,” said Randy Stokke, who is a patron in Govenlock.

Govenlock patrons already knew they would have to deal with Environment Canada because the 200 sq. kilometre pasture was non-

reversionar y and couldn’t be handed to the province. Its transfer from the agriculture department to the environment department was announced in 2015, although it is still not finalized.

Stokke said there appears to have been some small headway in negotiating an agreement with Environment Canada. The department had been unwilling to negotiate more than one to five year grazing permits but now is offering 15 year terms.

However, he said he feels sorry for the patrons in the other two pastures who have spent hours organizing their corporations to be able

to lease from the province only to find themselves in limbo again. “ Th e p rov i n c e, I t h i n k , ha s dropped the ball on this, or threw these guys under the bus,” he said.

“They thought they were going to go through just like every other PF pasture in Saskatchewan.”

The concern with Environment Canada management is one of trust, Stokke said.

“We all know Ottawa can change its policies and plans with very little concern for the people of Western Canada,” he said.

“A lot of us fear that they’ll sweeten the pie to get everybody involved and eventually, offering

only 15 year agreements, at the end of that 15 years, then what?” he said.

“Is Ottawa going to decide they’d like to make a park here? Are they going to make a national park here?

Once this is in one block, it’s out of our hands.”

There were rumors that the federal government wanted to turn Govenlock into a national park, and three environmental groups suggested in 2015 that the federal government establish a national wildlife area on it.

Neither of these ideas sits well with ranching families who have used the land for 75 years.

Environment Canada did not return a request for comment before Western Producer deadlines June 19. Previously, it said the pastures represent rich biodiversity and species at risk. “(Environment Canada) management of any pasture lands will incorporate the interest of ranchers in using these areas for cattle grazing and the interests of local Indigenous peoples concerning the future of community pastures,” the department said in an email in March.

Wally Hoehn, executive director of the lands branch at Saskatchewan Agriculture, said the land swap proposal is still preliminary, although the province has from the beginning wanted to acquire the non-reversionary land in the other pastures. There are approximately 75,000 acres of non-reversionary land; 49,000 acres are in Govenlock.

He said patrons were notified after Environment Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Service expressed interest in the land swap, and discussions have now begun.

The Nashlyn and Battle Creek patrons will not have done their planning for nothing, he said.

“The only difference would be the group would lease the land from the Canadian Wildlife Service as opposed to Agriculture and AgriFood Canada,” Hoehn said.

He said he understood ranchers’ concerns about dealing with the environment department rather than the agriculture department.

“I think they would be really comfortable leasing from AAFC or the ministry of agriculture,” he said.

“There are going to be other meetings to be able to build that trust.”

However, he also noted that the Canadian Wildlife Service has offered grazing permits in other areas, such as the Last Mountain Lake wildlife area.

Stokke agreed that patrons believe the province would better address local concerns. He said the province has strong protections on its crown lease land for habitat and species at risk.

He said that if anything, the nonreversionary land should be returned to the province because Ottawa acquired it for “peanuts” at between $300 and $400 per quarter.

“Now they want $100,000-andsome fair market value for grassland,” he added, noting the province isn’t in a position to buy it right now. karen.briere@producer.com

Saskatchewan cattle organizations welcomed the provincial government’s decision last week to begin turning over its pastures to patrons after this grazing season.

Similar to the former federal pasture transition, patrons will get first crack at 15-year leases on 13 pastures after this year, 19 after the 2018 grazing season and the final 18 in 2020.

The decision to wind down the Saskatchewan Pastures Program was announced in the March budget. Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said the transition plan follows input from stakeholder and patron meetings and a recent online consultation to which 2,016 people responded.

Of those, 46 percent were farmers or ranchers. Nearly 30 percent identified themselves as patrons and 73 percent said they lived within 50 kilometres of a provincial pasture.

Seventy percent of respondents supported giving patrons the first right of refusal to lease governm e nt- ow n e d l a n d , b u t m o s t opposed selling the land.

Sixty percent said the land should not be sold, and the same amount

did not support dividing the land into smaller parcels in order to sell it.

Three-quarters of respondents said ecological preservation of the land was more important than economic opportunity, and the same number agreed that farmers and ranchers are responsible stewards.

The survey found 75 percent favoured agreements with current patrons to manage and operate the land, 55 percent supported agreements with environmental and advocacy groups and 49 percent agreed Saskatchewan livestock producers could take over.

Smaller percentages supported operation by municipal governments, First Nations, Metis communities, Saskatchewan-based agricultural companies and Canadian livestock producers from outside the province.

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association had passed a resolution at its annual convention just days before the announcement that called for patrons to be given the first chance at leases.

President Shane Jahnke said the government’s decision lines up with the SSGA’s main recommendations, particularly giving current patrons first opportunity to lease and maintaining grazing and eco-

logical integrity of the pastures .

“It’s similar to the federal process we went through five years ago,” he said. “The Saskatchewan government has kept the best aspects of the PFRA divestment and implemented some ‘lessons learned’ as well.”

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan also ack-nowledged the experience of the federal pasture divestiture and said it was pleased the pastures will remain in public hands.

“Community pastures have served the Saskatchewan agriculture industry well,” said president Todd Lewis.

“They’ve provided new entrants and mixed farmers with grazing opportunities that otherwise might not be available.”

About 1,300 patrons used the 780,000 acres of provincial pastures last year. They will be eligible for transition support to cover legal costs and business plans just as the patrons of federal pastures were.

Stewart said the improvements on the pastures will be transferred to the lessees at no charge, but the patrons will be responsible to maintain them.

He said one of the main differences from the federal transition is that those pastures were picked at

random, while the provincial pastures will transition mainly by area.

“We learned it would provide more opportunities for efficiencies to the patrons’ groups if we transitioned them by area,” Stewart said.

“They could work together, hire joint managers, share some equipment, things of that nature.”

About 125 employees are affected by the decision, but just 15 are fulltime and the remainder are on seasonal contracts. Some may be eligible for other government positions or for severance.

Patrons will see changes in what they pay for grazing. They currently pay $1.13 per cow-calf pair per day, which includes municipal taxes.

Once the patrons form corpora-

tions or co-operatives to operate their pastures, they will also determine the fees.

According to the agriculture ministry, those fees would include an amount paid to the government plus labour, maintenance and other costs included in the rate. On leased crown land, lessees pay about 52 cents per cow-calf pair per day.

The leases will allow hunting and traditional use by First Nations and Metis people.

Stewart also said patrons who are unable to take on pastures by themselves may choose to partner with First Nations or environmental organizations. karen.briere@producer.com

GENETIC MODIFICATION

Proposed GM mustard unlikely to hurt Canada Indian mustard has yields up to 30 percent higher

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pressure is mounting on the Indian government to approve the country’s first genetically modified food crop.

India’s National Academy of Agricultural Sciences has asked the country’s prime minister to intervene in the regulatory process so that farmers can grow a GM mustard variety in time for the 2017 rabi (winter) crop.

The academy, which comprises leading agricultural scientists, recently gave its unanimous endorsement for the commercial release of the Dhara Mustard Hybrid (DMH-11), which increases yields by 20 to 30 percent over conventional varieties.

India is one of the world’s largest mustard producers. Growers plant 12.5 million acres of the crop a year and produce five million tonnes of seed.

Advocates say that if the new hybrid is approved and widely grown it could significantly increase India’s mustard output.

However, that isn’t a concern for Canadian growers, said Kevin Hursh, executive director of the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission.

“In India, their use of mustard is far different than the condiment mustard we service,” he said.

The mustard grown in India is primarily used to make cooking oil.

So while Hursh is interested in seeing whether India’s first GM food crop gets approved for cultivation, it isn’t keeping him awake at night.

“I don’t see the direct implications for the Canadian industry,” he said.

Canada’s mustard customers have made it clear that they do not want GM mustard. Most of the brown and some of the yellow mustard grown in Canada is exported to the European Union, where consumers are wary of GM food.

“The industry has always been very sensitive to that viewpoint.”

Hursh isn’t worried about the commingling of India’s GM mustard with Canada’s non-GM crops because India’s crop is consumed domestically. sean.pratt@producer.com

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Severe spring flooding that washed out a section of the Hudson Bay Railway line between Gillam and Churchill, Man., last month has dealt another crippling blow to efforts to resume grain shipments through the Port of Churchill.

“It’s a major blow to the whole situation,” said Elden Boon, a farmer from Virden, Man., and president of the Hudson Bay Route Association.

“It’s just another nail in the coffin

so to speak … but hopefully, when the (engineering) assessment comes back, it will show that (the damage) is maybe not as critical as one would think.”

Omnitrax, which owns the Hudson Bay Railway, suspended rail service on a section of HBR track last month.

Sources say rail service on a section of the track covering several hundreds of kilometres has been suspended indefinitely and is not likely to resume until freeze-up at the earliest.

The track bed has been washed away in numerous locations and as

many as five bridges are damaged.

Dozens of other bridges and culverts will also need to be assessed before service is resumed.

Omnitrax has been trying to sell the HBR line for the past two years.

The company has signed a memorandum of understanding with a northern Manitoba First Nations group interested in acquiring the track, but a formal deal has not been reached.

It remains to be seen how damage caused by flooding will affect a potential sale.

Boon said it seems unlikely that

Omnitrax would spend a significant amount of money to repair an asset that it is trying to unload.

The Manitoba government is involved in discussions with Ottawa, community leaders and First Nations groups to determine what steps can be taken, but it remains to be seen whether government will contribute financially to track repair efforts.

The railway is the only overland route linking southern Manitoba to Churchill and other remote communities in the north.

The line supplies food, fuel and other products to northern com-

munities and also carries passengers to and from Churchill on a weekly basis.

Boon said he has been told that Omnitrax will continue to offer service between The Pas and Gillam, but service on the remaining por tion of the route is in limbo.

“At this point, the future is pretty uncertain,” Boon said about the likelihood of resuming grain shipments next year.

“This is going to have a huge impact on Churchill, for sure.” brian.cross@producer.com

FARM SAFETY DAYS

Tragic tales give kids powerful safety lesson

Hair-raising stories and dramatic demonstrations of farm accidents leave students with enduring safety message

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

MONTMARTRE, Sask. — Bryant Gaetz was sure he was going to die.

In an instant, the 16-year-old farm boy’s life flashed before his eyes.

“I thought I was dying right then,” said Gaetz, recounting a harrowing day three years ago when the grain auger he was pulling with a tractor hit an overhead power line on his family’s mixed farm.

With an explosion of sparks and flames, the voltage surge set the auger tires ablaze and the tractor tires exploded. The stubble was on fire by the time the Grade 10 student was able to call 911 on his cellphone.

“They told him not to move and not to let anyone come within 40 feet of the tractor, but they also gave

him instructions about how to jump out if he felt like the tractor was going to start on fire,” said Bryant’s mother, Val Gaetz, who still tears up as she recalls the two hours that she and her husband, Kevin, watched as their son waited for rescue.

It was one of many stories presented to Montmartre School students at Farm Safety Day on June 7.

The day-long event featured safety stations covering a broad range of subjects from machinery rules and lawn mower safety to farm animal behaviour and sun protection strategies.

Duane Janiskevich also drove home the importance of being vigilant. Recounting his own table saw accident that resulted in a crushed hand and finger amputations, Janiskevich said corners simply can’t be cut when it comes to safety,

regardless of circumstances.

Farmer Clayton Kotylak suffered a broken jaw this spring after being charged by a cow. It was one of many similar accident stories mounted on the school wall for school-aged students to read.

Tyson Colby, 13, a student at Montmartre School, sports three barbed-wire scars on his upper lip and cheek. His injury occurred when was eight years old and playing with his cousin.

Colby’s dad had installed a new

13 people ARE KILLED ON SASKATCHEWAN FARMS EACH YEAR

barbed-wire fence the day before, but Colby didn’t realize where it was and ran into it. He needed 16 stitches to repair the damage.

“You should always know what’s going on around your farm,” he said.

The presenters for the day stressed the value in paying attention at all times and promoting a culture of safety. That includes simple tasks like checking the day’s UV index and hand washing to checking the area and honking the horn when moving big equipment.

In one dramatic presentation, a dummy encountered a running power take-off, sending body parts flying into the crowd of school students. Local first responders and fire department members arrived first to stabilize the victim while EMS and STARS air ambulance workers attended next to demon-

strate their life-saving work.

Angela Englot, who co-co-ordinated the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day with teacher Wendy Weichel, said the statistics show why safety information is essential in rural communities.

“In Saskatchewan, on average, 13 people are killed on farms each year,” she said. “Most incidents occur in the farmyard and of all serious injuries that happen, 14 percent involve youth. That is a scary statistic and it is not OK.” They feel the day accomplished its goals.

“Parents are telling us their children cannot stop talking about what they learned,” said Weichel, adding that visual demonstrations like hotdogs being cut up by a lawnmower and lungs being compressed by grain provided powerful and enduring messages.

FARM LIVING CONTRACEPTIVE PILL

Birth control and cancer HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have been using an oral contraceptive pill for at least 10 years, and I am wondering if I should stop because I have heard it may give you an increased risk of breast cancer. I am on one of the newest kinds of pill.

Bees key to fruit, honey farm success U-pick fruit and vegetable gardens and award-winning on-farm meadery rely on a healthy bee population

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

CARON, Sask. — Vickie and Dennis Derksen feel a strong sense of responsibility toward their bees.

Without them, their retirement project wouldn’t be the “cool and wonderful thing” that Vickie says it is.

“It’s like having any kind of animal and you want to look after them properly,” she said.

Adds Dennis: “We fell in love with our bees.”

Those bees are integral to the success of Grandpa’s Garden and another business, Prairie Bee Meadery at Caron, Sask., which the couple runs with daughter Crystal and her husband, Gerard Milburn.

When the Derksens bought their property in December 2010, they had an idea of what would become of the quarter-section. Dennis had farmed with his family at Main Centre, Sask., and acquired a love of fruit trees from his dad.

“We had this crazy idea that we could make our fortune in cherries and planted 1,000 of them,” Vickie said.

They then put up a one-acre, high-tunnel greenhouse for straw-

berries and vegetables, and established a U-pick and market garden that included raspberries, cherries and haskap.

As of this year, they will have 15,000 strawberries in the ground.

They knew they needed pollinators to make the system work and introduced the bees in 2011.

ON THE FARM

DERKSEN & MILBURN FAMILY Caron, Sask.

“We just loved it,” said Vickie.

“It’s almost like this zen place working with bees.”

A beekeeping course helped them deal with losses and overcome mistakes. They also attend meetings to make sure they’re up on both fruit and vegetable production and beekeeping.

They began with 28 hives, are up

to 40 and eventually plan to have 90.

“We are projecting 58 barrels of honey this year,” Dennis said.

That still won’t produce enough for the two products they are known for: fruit honey and mead, so they have worked with other producers to supply fruit and honey.

They know that most of the bees they get honey from feed on clover, alfalfa and wildflowers.

Mead is a honey-based wine that the Derksens made for several years on their own before going commercial. It takes more than one barrel of honey to make 1,000 litres of mead.

“It costs a lot more money to make it with honey than sugar,” said Dennis. “Honey itself isn’t easily fermentable and a whole other level of care is required.”

Vickie is the main mead maker after they hired consultant Dominic Rivard to help them perfect their process.

“Some will make mead in a beer tradition,” using grain, Vickie said.

“We don’t do that. We make it in the wine tradition.”

Prairie Bee is a small-batch meadery located in a Canadian Food Inspection Agency-approved facil-

ity on the farm. The products are sold at farmers markets, the farm store and some private liquor retailers.

They also recently opened a retail location on Moose Jaw’s Main Street.

Both Vickie and Dennis say customers appreciate that they are providing a craft product.

“We’re still a young company but we believe this is going to be a game changer for us and this province,” Vickie said.

At its first competition, Drink Outside the Grape, in Syracuse, New York, earlier this year, two Prairie Bee products, Haskap Haven and Strawberry Splash, tied for best mead. The Melon Mist won a bronze medal.

Vickie said they aren’t making mead to win medals.

“We want it to be a drink that people will want to come back and have again,” she said.

They intend to work toward selfsufficiency in fruit and have an expansion plan in place. Although they are not certified organic, they grow without chemicals and pesticides and are surrounded by hayland. karen.briere@producer.com

The British Royal College of General Practitioners is overseeing the longest running study in the world on this subject.

It has been ongoing since 1968 with a group of 46,000 women who have been taking the contraceptive pill being studied for 44 years.

Obviously, the women who participated in the study from the beginning are now post-menopausal.

Recently, a study at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, led by Dr. Lisa Iverson, looked at this group and discovered that over the long-term, the risk of getting various types of cancer was markedly reduced by taking the pill.

These women were less likely to have bowel cancer, endometrial cancer or ovarian cancer than women who had never taken it.

This protective effect was found to last for as long as 35 years after the women discontinued oral contraceptives. The researchers found that taking the pill for any length of time lowered the cases of bowel cancer by 19 percent, endometrial cancer by 34 percent and ovarian cancer by 33 percent.

In other words, for every three women who would have developed ovarian or endometrial cancer, one had been protected by taking the pill. For bowel cancer, around one-fifth of women are protected. These numbers are significant.

There is a slightly increased risk of breast or cervical cancer while w o m e n a re s t i l l o n t h e p i l l , because some type of cancer can feed off estrogen, but the risk is temporary and no longer present within about five years of stopping the medication.

I am sure you are aware that oral contraceptives do have other side-effects not related to cancer.

There has always been a known risk of blood clots in women who take the pill, but some of the newest so-called fourth generation oral contraceptives have been found to increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis even more.

Blood clots in the legs can sometimes migrate to the heart and lungs, which is potentially life threatening if not treated.

The earlier types of pill, or second generation, may actually be safer so you may wish to discuss switching with your doctor.

AGRIBUSINESS

B.C. yogurt processors ponder market expansion Couple weighs idea of supporting farmers beyond Vancouver Island

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TORONTO — Tree Island Yogurt is hoping consumers beyond its British Columbia borders will cultivate a craving for its artisan yogurt.

Merissa Myles and her microbiologist husband, Scott DiGuistini, founded the Comox Valley company five years ago that today employs 19 staff and processes 8,000 litres of milk weekly.

The pair and their young family came to the SIAL international food show in Toronto this spring to provide samples of cream top and Greek yogurt, created mainly from grass fed dairies, but also to meet grocers and buyers and make plans for the company’s future growth.

“It’s nice to have a booth and just stand there, but it’s good to have an idea about who to meet,” Myles said.

Their yogurt is currently in 125 locations in British Columbia, but the company is considering supporting farmers in another prov-

ince by creating a micro-plant, expanding their current plant on Vancouver Island and incorporating unique fruit into their yogurts.

“The real question as a family is how much risk we can handle.”

The couple was inspired to create the business after tasting freshly made yogurt on a trip to France.

“There was definitely room in the market for a 100 percent Canadian milk product,” said Myles, who noted B.C.’s robust sales in yogurt.

“It’s a good addition to the yogurt shelf in B.C. because everything is so commoditized,” she said, citing the consolidation of dairies in the province in recent decades.

They have been helped by the provincial government’s “buy local” promotions and its support for agricultural producers and processors.

Tree Island promotes a local angle by purchasing its cow milk from Birkdale Farm, a third generation family farm on the island, and detailing its story on the packaging.

The connection through the chain from dairy to plant to store is

key in their business plan, said Myles.

“We’ve been able to connect people with where their food comes from,” she said.

The yogurt packaging contains half the plastic of most yogurt con-

A niche is really important, especially with the clientele we have here. They’re pretty savvy and looking for something that is unique and something taking the animal welfare component really to heart.

tainers and has a label that peels off to reveal more information on the underside about their family and philosophies.

“There’s less weight than a regular package so people can tells it’s something different,” she said.

Myles said they started small and were supported by family, noting how DiGuistini’s mother was their first delivery driver in Victoria.

Other support came from the community and companies such as Whole Foods and Choices in Vancouver.

She expressed concern regarding urban encroachment on agricultural land.

“We want to support local and Canadian farmers and having that to be their livelihood,” said Myles.

Andrea Shaw, an agricultural land use specialist with AEL Agroecological Consulting, cited challenges for farm-related businesses on Vancouver Island, including the limited agricultural and industrial land for a reasonable cost and ferry fees to transport goods.

“So for small-scale processors, that’s been quite a challenge,” said Shaw.

On the plus side, the island business and consumer community strongly support the predominantly local producers, she said.

Shaw said they also can access

support from Agriculture Canada’s Growing For ward 2 program, which provides help with business and marketing strategies, and the B.C.’s Small Scale Food Processors Association, which links them with numerous resources.

Shaw said Tree Island’s distinctive packaging and connection to Birkdale gives them an edge.

“A niche is really important, especially with the clientele we have here. They’re pretty savvy and looking for something that is unique and something taking the animal welfare component really to heart,” she said.

Myles does regular testing to ensure their milk supplies are free of hormones and antibiotics and noted Canada’s reputation for quality products was beneficial for their business.

She said cheese would be more affected than yogurt by any threats to supply managed systems, noting theirs is a perishable product with a limited shelf life of five weeks. karen.morrison@producer.com

RAISING KIDS

Listen, spend time with children to be good role model SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

My dad was a drunk, as was his dad before him, and likely as was his dad before him.

I think that I have broken the cycle. With great help from my

mom and one of my now deceased aunts, I learned to deal with alcohol in more rational ways.

My problem is that I did not have a dad when I was growing up. My dad had a love affair with bottles of whiskey and that meant that he had no time for me. There was no role model, and absolutely no chance for me to learn how to deal with my own children.

I have a boy who is seven years old and a girl who is nine. I do not have alcohol getting in my way, but I nonetheless shy away from spending time with the kids.

My wife is concerned. She says that if I do not start to get some kind of a relationship with each of them, they will not be there for me when I get older.

I would like to be a good dad, but I simply do not know what to do. Can you help me?

A:

Congratulations for breaking the alcohol abuse cycle.

Although your mom and aunt may have helped you, the bottom line is that you did it yourself and that is commendable.

Despite what is said in books on

child care, the bottom line is that kids for the most part raise themselves.

The greatest influence you have on your children is not drawn from what you say, but from what you do.

You can, for example, preach selfdiscipline to your children but that is not nearly as influential as them watching you defy your family history.

You are a living example for them of what is possible and when they model your self-determination, they will have already taken a major step toward maturity.

Enjoy your children as much as you can. Your kids are at a great age.

They are likely interested enough in the world to want to learn what is going on through visits to museums and the playground.

Listen to your kids, have fun exploring the world with them and keep your personal integrity intact and you and your kids will do just fine.

rom field to fork, or in this case cask, John and Barb Cote transform ingredients they grow on their Saskatoon area farm into gins and liqueurs. This year, their Black Fox spirits became the first Canadian distillery to win the world’s best cask gin award from the World Gin Awards in the United Kingdom.

Cask or oaked gin is aged in barrels and although traditional, it may not be familiar to most people. John’s favourite way to enjoy it is on ice, but he suggests that if you like the bitter sweet flavor of a Negroni (equal parts gin, Campari and sweet vermouth) or a Martini, using oaked gin works well.

The Cotes sold their grain farm in 2010 and purchased land and planted an orchard and flowers and constructed a distillery.

They grow as many ingredients as possible on their farm and seek alternatives for things they can’t grow that are essential for gin making.

Ingredients such as triticale, wheat and rye find their way into their bottles as well as raspberries and haskaps from their orchard.

They also harvest calendula for gin and use their honey, rhubarb, pumpkin flowers and cucumbers in other recipes.

This year, they planted cucumbers for a cucumber gin and are also working on whisky, which needs to be aged a minimum of three years.

Dorothy Long is a home economist in the agrifood trade and former greenhouse grower from Lloydminster, Sask. She writes a blog at prairiekitchencompanion.blogspot.ca. Contact: food@producer.com.

John Cote’s top five tips for making a better cocktail 1. Making cocktails for company is like entertaining while cooking. Don’t be afraid to ask your guests to pitch in.

2. Fresh quality ingredients make the cocktail.

3. Don’t over sweeten the drink.

4. The old classics are classics for a reason but play around with different garnishes.

A sprig of fresh basil can completely change a plain gin and tonic.

5. If you want a cold drink, always stir. If you use a cocktail shaker, use the largest ice cubes you have.

Small ice cubes will melt quickly and dilute the drink.

SECURITY ONLINE

Online shopping handy, but don’t be lax with security TEAM RESOURCES

Never buy anything online using your credit card from a site that doesn’t have a secure sockets layer encryption installed. You’ll know if the site has SSL because its URL will start with HTTPS:// instead of just HTTP://.

Depending on your browser, an icon of a locked padlock will appear in the status bar or right next to the URL in the address bar.

I

am in a small city on the Prairies and my shopping options are limited. Now more than ever I go to the internet to shop for my cooking needs.

My first online shopping experience was about 10 years ago when I wanted a pressure canner. I found what I wanted online at Golda’s Kitchen in Toronto and in a few days, it was delivered to my door.

I have also ordered Spanish marcona almonds from NutsOnLine out of New Jersey. Their family business has been serving customers since 1929. They take care of all the cross border details.

I purchase fine chocolate from Chocolat Chocolat in Montreal.

They have an extensive selection of good quality chocolate, chocolate moulds and packaging. They warn against shipping in the summer when temperatures may damage the products.

My favourite place to order spices is Silk Road Spices in Calgary. I have purchased their products many times at their brick and mortar store and would not hesitate to buy online when I need something special. I have also purchased organic food quality lavender from Okanagan Lavender.

I found that the shipping cost of one package was the same cost as four so I bought four packages of lavender.

I purchased pure Madagascar bourbon vanilla on Amazon. It was

shipped from a Canadian supplier at a reasonable price. I also shop on Amazon to find missing pieces to my flatware pattern.

Three Farmers camelina oil and Daybreak Mill, with all their organic flours and whole grains, offer shopping online.

Costco offers online shopping and no membership is required. I purchased Atlantic sturgeon meat and caviar from New Brunswick. It arrived in Swift Current, Sask., by courier and the ice pack was still frozen.

Fancy Flours in Montana has an extensive offering of bakeware, cookie cutters and finishing touches for baking.

I buy my refrigerator water filters online, often at a discounted price.

I found gift packaging for baked goods at Creative Packaging out of Coquitlam, B.C. They have closed their brick and mortar stores and are now entirely web based.

If you enjoy Canadian wines, the Okanagan Wine Club has no membership fees or minimum purchase

requirements. Once a month, there is an offering from an Okanagan winery. Pay by credit card and the wine is shipped through Canada Post.

Some people will use a mobile device to do comparison shopping before making a purchase. There’s no need to be any more nervous about shopping on a mobile device than online.

The trick is to use apps provided directly by the retailers such as Amazon or Target. Use the apps to find what you want and then make the purchase directly.

Clues that a shopping site isn’t trustworthy • The site looks poorly designed, unprofessional and contains broken links. There are spelling errors.

• You can’t find an address or phone number for the business.

You should know the location of the business.

• Sales, return and privacy policies

are hard to find or unclear.

• The back button is disabled. In other words, you get stuck on a page and can’t go back.

Protect yourself • Never give anyone your credit card number by email. Phone with your credit card information if they do not have a secure website.

• Pay by credit card if you can. Do not send cash or a money order.

Using a debit card is a direct line to your bank account. If you are uncomfortable using your credit card then get a prepaid credit card just for online purchases.

BOOK REVIEW

Understanding life through death — in an entertaining way PRAIRIE CHAPTERS

CHRISTALEE FROESE

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE

S

askatoon author Yann Martel takes us on a sublime literary journey that is at once deeply sorrowful, yet highly amusing—a feat only a writer of Martel’s abilities could pull off.

The author of international bestselling novel, Life of Pi, follows up the smash hit with a bigger swing at literary complexity in his latest release, The High Mountains of Portugal.

In the intricate novel, Martel weaves three tales of grieving characters together. Like Life of Pi, the loss and grief are described so fleetingly that the reader is left primarily with the journey of recovery that follows. And that recovery for all three men comes with a great deal of entertainment value.

The first quirky character, a young

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Por tuguese museum curator named Tomás, deals with the loss of his family by walking backward throughout the first section of the book. “…his back to the world, his back to God, he is not grieving. He is objecting.”

Headed across Portugal to the high mountain, which fittingly turns out to be grassy hills, Tomás’s peculiar quest to track down a rare

sculpture that “would do nothing less than turn Christianity upside down” is wildly amusing.

In the next section of the book, a Portuguese pathologist obsessed with Agatha Christie murder mysteries appears. Set 30 years after Tomás’s wild ride through Portugal, Eusebios has his own enlightening encounter with death and grief when a peasant woman convinces him to perform an autopsy on her beloved husband while she watches.

Disturbing in its result, but somehow entertaining in its telling, the autopsy reveals a living woman inside the dead man’s body, along with a bear cub and an ape.

The themes of death’s impact and the living’s subsequent purpose are sewn within the fabric of this strange tale, but it takes a great deal of energy for the reader to bring those to the fore.

The third part of this ominously odd novel is dedicated to Peter, a Canadian senator who takes refuge in his ancestral Portugal after losing his wife. Again, Martel adds a peculiar twist, a pet chimpanzee, to set the reader on their heels, and to keep them on their literary toes.

With a plot that essentially con-

sists of a bizarre and brazen set of unbelievable circumstances, Martel manages to provide the reader with a consistent question—how do you deal with the burden of death?

The answers are buried deep in the dialogue and hidden in Martel’s leading descriptions, challenging the reader to unearth them.

And while one can never really be sure if they have discovered the author’s intended purpose, or crucifix sculpture, as is the central metaphor in The High Mountains of Portugal, the novel is entertaining enough to force one to read on.

About 55 participants visited various sites to examine soil and its components in undisturbed areas, and also to see how different types of soil respond to forest fires, floods and oilsands reclamation initiatives. | BARB GLEN PHOTOS

FITNESS

Anyone up for a goat yoga class?

Participants benefit from the physical therapy of yoga and the ‘mental therapy’ of being with cuddly dwarf goats

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MAPLE CREEK, Sask. — Yoga practitioners are familiar with downward dog, but downward goat?

Yoga goat classes are now underway at the Downward Goat in a barn at Grotto Gardens in Maple Creek, Sask. There, people can combine the physical therapy of yoga with the “mental therapy” of being around dwarf goats.

Dana Hassett, who owns and operates the country market with her husband, Dan Sellinger, and their daughters, said goat yoga has become trendy in the United States and British Columbia, so why not Maple Creek?

When she proposed the idea at a Tourism Saskatchewan workshop last fall designed to promote outof-the-box thinking, everyone loved it, she said.

Their goat walk was a popular attraction. Visitors to Grotto Gardens enjoyed watching the dwarf goats climb on a ramp and platform system for a food treat.

The site also has miniature potbellied pigs, miniature donkeys, chickens, a duck pond and a perennial garden.

Hassett said while the animals were mainly for people to see, everyone always wanted to spend time with the playful goats.

“The goats kept them coming back. They were kind of like a therapy for people,” she said.

Want to sign up for goat yoga classes at Grotto Gardens? The Maple Creek, Sask., farm has room for only 20 people per class. If yoga isn’t your thing, there is also a gift and coffee shop, a duck pond and a perennial garden to visit. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTOS

Today, certified instructors teach regular yoga classes that five Nubian goats also attend. They wander around, climb on partici-

pants, nibble at the mats and generally make people happy.

“They just love their people,” Hassett said.

Classes are held Thursday and Sunday mornings throughout the summer. Participants should sign up online when they want to attend so they aren’t disappointed; the barn has room for only 20 people and the goats.

Grotto Garden is located on Sellinger’s family farm and so named because of the stone cairn Dana built to contain the ashes of the couple’s son, Dean. It opened last summer.

It features a Log Barn gift shop, where Hassett sells hand-made birdhouses, and a bakery and coffee shop.

Daughter Silken is the baker and she uses a lot of the fruit from the 10 acres of saskatoons planted in 2011. Chokecherries were added

two years ago. People can pick their own berries or buy fruit at the shop.

The finalist for Saskatchewan Tourism rookie of the year recently obtained a liquor licence and added a build-your-own picnic basket service. Hassett is retired from nursing and Sellinger still works in the construction business.

“Three hundred twenty-five thousand people are going by to the Cypress Hills,” Hassett said.

“Even though we’re doing better than our business plan projected, there are still days when we’re wondering if we can keep going.”

PREDATORS

Why coyote trap-and-release programs don’t reduce predator concerns

BY MARY BAXTER FREELANCE WRITER

The city of Ottawa, probably like most large cities, has probably upwards of 300 to 400 dog bites every year.

Coyotes? None.

DONNA DUBREUIL CARLETON WILDLIFE CENTRE

GETTY PHOTO

The operators of Agriculture Canada’s Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa have discovered that if you’ve got a coyote problem in the middle of the city, live trapping won’t earn any brownie points with environmentalists — and it won’t get rid of the problem, either.

Earlier this spring, staff at the farm hired a company “to explore humane options for the capture and relocation of coyotes” after fielding concerns from the public about animals spotted on the property, department spokesperson Patrick Girard said in an email.

However, the initiative soon earned criticism from the OttawaCarleton Wildlife Centre and the Animal Protection Party, which is based in Toronto.

Donna DuBreuil, president of the Carleton Wildlife Centre, called the approach “silly.” She said removing animals will only create opportunity for others to move in. And besides, she added, live trapping a healthy adult coyote is nearly impossible to do.

Even if trapping were successful, “where are you going to relocate it to — are you going to take it from one natural area to another?”

The historic 1,000 acre farm near the city’s centre is home to a petting

zoo and a small demonstration dairy herd.

DuBreuil said the decision to trap coyotes isn’t driven by livestock predation concerns. Instead, she said the issue involves providing the optics that the farm is responding to residents’ fears for their pets and children.

The farm is a popular destination for local dog walkers.

“People need to put it in perspective, at least in the context of not having irrational fear and learning to coexist” with the animals, she said.

“The city of Ottawa, probably like most large cities, has probably upwards of 300 to 400 dog bites every year. Coyotes? None.”

Anita O’Brien, on-farm program lead with the Ontario Sheep Marketing Agency, said the province introduced regulations last year to allow the use of a live snare that will catch but not choke an animal.

However, O’Brien doubted such snares would successfully catch a mature coyote, although they might nab a junior animal. “(Moreover), when you’re having problems, you don’t release a coyote you’ve caught because they’re part of the problem because of coyotes being so territorial.”

Ontario Agriculture recommends trapping or killing problem coyotes as a last resort. Best practices include removing deadstock

and items such as spilled grain that might attract the smaller rodents that coyotes eat, adding guard animals, establishing appropriate fencing and bringing animals into the barn at night.

However, O’Brien, who raises sheep near Gananoque, Ont., said a farmer can use best management practices but still experience predation on the farm. That’s because a coyote’s territory is much larger than a farm, and “what happens on all of the farms in a coyote’s territory impacts what happens on my farm.”

As well, coyotes are clever and adapt to new conditions.

O’Brien, a former Ontario Agriculture sheep specialist, said that when the ministry first started promoting livestock guardian dogs in the 1980s, “they worked great.”

The same when electric fencing was introduced. However, coyotes soon found ways around them.

Back in Ottawa, attempts to capture the wily coyotes failed.

“At this time there are no plans to capture, or relocate, the coyotes,” Girard wrote in early May. “(Instead), the department will increase public and employee awareness of the presence of coyotes at the CEF.” It will also continue to review “available information and practices used in other jurisdictions to guide its approach.”

BIO-STRIP TRIALS

Ontario farmers focus on improving soil health

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

GLENCOE, Ont. — A group of Ontario farm organizations is encouraging soil-building practices and hopes to spread the word about the benefits.

Launched in March, the Ontario Soil Network program has 25 farmer participants. All have adopted soil-building practices and have expressed interest in developing leadership and communication soils.

“Farmers have always learned from other farmers. We’re just formalizing that,” said Mel Luymes, program co-ordinator.

Some of those involved are working on the economics.

They want to prove that they’re making more money by doing things differently.

“Some of those involved are working on the economics. They want to prove that they’re making more money by doing things differently.”

Dave McEachern, who farms near Glencoe in southwestern Ontario, is among the participants.

He hosted a field day in April, in which he talked about a relatively new concept: bio-strips.

On July 29 last year, following the wheat harvest, McEachern planted multiple species in two different strips. One was sown with oilseedradish alone. The other to 11 different species.

This spring, McEachern plans to seed soybeans into the oilseedradish strip. The once large-rooted plants have almost completely broken down, leaving the soil drier

than in other parts of the field.

“It’s one of the best cover crops of oilseed-radish we’ve ever had,” he said. “I plant about two to three pounds of radish seed per acre and that’s plenty.”

McEachern refers to the other bio-strip as his green strip. It includes a mix of rye, oats, annual ryegrass, four types of clover, two types of peas and sunflowers, which created an eye-catching field of yellow last fall.

The bio-strip system cost McEachern $25.30 per acre but he feels it delivers a variety of benefits.

It helps keep the soil biologically active, which promotes good soil structure and improves access to nutrients.

The sunflowers pull nutrients up from deep in the soil profile, making them available for crop growth.

T h e g re e n s t r i p s a re w h e re McEachern runs his tractor and equipment tires.

“That’s one of the benefits of planting the green strips. The carrying capacity of your soil is much greater,” he said.

The oilseed-radish strip winterkills on its own. The three or four species in the green strips that made it through winter will be dealt with a herbicide treatment, either glyphosate or 2,4-D. McEachern likes to establish his cover crop as soon as possible after the wheat harvest. With the six millimetres of rain, the seed will pop.

McEachern also establishes cover crops on corn and soybeans to reduce weed pressure. With soybeans, he has tried to inter-seed annual ryegrass into the standing crop, but has had limited success.

Planting cereal rye, in twin, sevenand-a-half inch strips following the harvest is his more usual treatment.

With corn, McEachern broadcasts of a mix of annual ryegrass, crimson clover and hairy vetch into the standing crop.

Less packaging, less waste Proper packaging is vital in controlling waste, reducing carbon footprint

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — Researchers spend a lot of time and effort trying to develop packaging to help prevent food waste. And for good reason.

In 2009, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported that 32 percent of food produced in the world is never eaten — lost to waste in one form or another.

It is not only a loss to people who could eat it for sustenance, but it also presents a loss of revenue and resources for those who produced it, said Terry Grills, director of sustainability at Sealed Air, a company that developed Cryovac food packaging and bubble wrap.

“We in our industries have invested a lot in raising this important food and it is critical that it not be wasted,” she said at the annual meeting of the Canadian Meat

Council held in Ottawa June 5-7.

“One out of every four calories goes to waste.”

Sometimes food loss is due to contamination from disease or insects. At other times, products do not get to market on time because of lack of infrastructure.

However, far more food is lost because it is the wrong shape, the date code has expired or it spoiled in the store or at home.

Waste eats profit Grill’s company surveyed about 100 retailers who said their biggest expense is food waste compared to labour, theft and energy costs. If they could eliminate food waste from their operation they would increase their profits by 10 percent.

“I believe that one of the solutions is to use proper packaging,” she said.

New packages may employ vacuum packaging with a thin film

cover to remove the air around the food. That thin film can extend the shelf life of disposable foods three to five times longer than normal.

Properly packaged green beans can go from seven to 19 days and plastic-wrapped cucumbers last for up to 14 days compared to three days for loose ones.

“The packaging that you may choose to use if you are a cheese producer will be very different from the thin film you use if you are packaging beef or packaging fish,” she said.

Meat is commonly placed on a Styrofoam tray with a plastic wrap that is easily damaged and can leak. It may need to be rewrapped and store staff must constantly clean meat cases to prevent cross contamination.

People often ask if this type of packaging can be recycled or is biodegradable. However, there is a greater benefit to the environment if the food does not spoil and end up in a landfill.

“This tiny carbon footprint protects a huge investment of the food it is protecting. People generally don’t think about it this way,” she said.

Packages that can be reclosed or vacuum packaged meat could help reduce that waste. Often people buy a large quantity of meat and repackage it into smaller portions.

However, they may have removed the films that kept the meat fresher.

“They don’t know the package that was originally provided to them had a benefit in preservation,” she said.

Consumers need to be educated about packaging and potential food waste so they can make better decisions, she added.

In the United Kingdom, a program called Love Food, Hate Waste has been started to educate consumers about food waste, and teach them how to store and use food differently.

In 2014, the city of Vancouver and 23 surrounding municipalities signed a deal for the U.K. campaign to encourage consumers to throw out less edible food.

AG NOTES ANNUAL NATIVE PRAIRIE APPRECIATION WEEK June 18-24 is Native Prairie Appreciation Week in Saskatchewan.

Unique to the province, it is celebrated each year in partnership with the Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan.

The week is dedicated to raising awareness and appreciation of native prairie ecosystems.

Producers who use sustainable land management practices contribute to the long-term economic health of the province and protect plant and wildlife species for future generations.

Native prairie ecosystems play a valuable role in the environment by providing wildlife habitat, contributing clean drinking water and providing recreational

opportunities. They are also significant sources of carbon sequestration and storage.

A variety of activities planned across the province include urban awareness booths at the Regina, Saskatoon and Swift Current farmers markets, an activity checklist and a youth poster contest.

For more information, visit pcapsk.org or call 306-352-0472.

ANGUS ASSOCIATION NAMES NEW BOARD Brett Wildman of Sangudo, Alta., was recently voted president of the Canadian Angus Association.

David Sibbald of Calgary moved into the past-president position, and Trevor Welch of Glassville, N.B., is president-elect.

Wildman, elected in 2014, is the third member of his family to serve on the Canadian Angus Association board.

He owns and operates Wildman Livestock with his family.

Welch is the fourth generation of his family to farm on their land: Garvie Mountain Angus. He is a professional engineer, a licensed land surveyor and the owner of Welch Surveys Ltd. Sibbald and his family operate SSS Red Angus, which was established in 1972. He is a fifthgeneration rancher and is also the president and chair of the Calgary Stampede and a director of the Canadian Beef Breeds Council.

25 YEARS AGO: JUNE 18, 1992 The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: JUNE 18, 1942 J.G. Clark, who had been Saskatchewan’s livestock commissioner for 25 years, was appointed Canada’s agriculture commissioner in Great Britain. He replaced William Allen, who had died in enemy action at sea in May 1941.

J.B. Harrington of the University of Saskatchewan’s field husbandry department was looking for details of frost damage in flax fields. The plant breeder wanted to know at what stage seedlings had been damaged. Harrington also welcomed information on how frost had affected different varieties of wheat, oats and barley.

50 YEARS AGO: JUNE 22, 1967 Canadian National Railway, which operated the rail line to the port of Churchill, was asked during a meeting of the Hudson Bay Route Association to do everything it could to increase traffic to the northern port. Suggestions included more actively soliciting business and offering freight rate incentives.

The Saskatchewan government introduced controversial leaseback legislation to force lenders to rent land back to farmers who had turned it over to resolve a debt, but federal Agriculture Minister Bill McKnight said Farm Credit Corp. would be under orders not to obey the provincial law if it conflicted with federal law.

Canadian Wheat Board commissioner Bill Smith died after falling while on a boat tour during a sales mission to China. The wheat board stopped selling grain for one day in his honour.

Putting precision farming data to work in the field The technology offers a lot of promise, but every piece of equipment needs to speak the same language

BY ANNEMARIE PEDERSEN | FREELANCE WRITER Most Prairie grain farmers today are collecting data.

Their combines, seeders and sprayers have the tools needed to measure, calculate, evaluate and report just about every activity in the field. But a recent survey indicates only about one-third of those collecting the data are putting it to work. What’s standing in the way?

“Taking the time to prioritize and properly document things such as application rates and field-scouting details, is one of the biggest challenges for growers, whether by entering it directly into the system or using a notepad,” says Scott Anderson, manager of agronomic services for Crop Production Services in northwest Saskatchewan.

But he says recording it digitally is key, as it’s the only way advisers can access and use the information.

“A lot of the monitors in the machinery can log data which makes it easier. But now we need to work on pulling that data together and using it.”

Kris Klammer, who farms near Vegreville, Alberta agrees, and says it’s question of good data in, good data out.

“Proper setup is a huge part of success. Entering the initial information accurately — field data, correct rates and other information — is the key to having something worthwhile to work with.”

Matt Fagnou, a regional account manager for CPS’s Echelon precision agriculture services, says the ability to use the information is another barrier.

“If a grower has to spend an hour researching the data and trying to find what he needs, what is the benefit of that? What is he going to get out of it? That is the goal — to make this information as easily accessible as possible and making it so easy to use that growers will include it in their decision-making.”

CAN WE TALK? Compatibility between equipment types and colours has been an ongoing issue. CPS is one of several companies helping growers make sense of the mass of data being collected.

“None of us are reinventing the wheel in data collection and management, it is just that delivery methods are different. We take all the data and put it back together,” Fagnou says.

The Echelon platform allows data to be sent to a central database, either directly to the ‘cloud’ or by downloading to a flash drive or memory card.

“What we have done is developed a way to collect the data from all their equipment, and turn it into something easily understood, which allows growers to make use of that data with relative ease.”

This includes reports that incorporate seeding, chemical and fertilizer application rates, harvest yield data and even field scouting and agronomic data. These reports can be used when building a crop plan for subsequent years.

The objective of precision farming is not to reduce inputs, but to use them most effectively.

AIDING AGRONOMY Fagnou says the advantage of precision farming technology is that the data allows higher return on a grower’s machinery investment.

“What we can do with the machine to make changes to fertilizer placement, now allows him to be more efficient and get the best return for the money he is investing.

“If a grower is in the field and wants to know what he sprayed there last year, or the year before, he can pull up that information right there on the monitor or smart device.”

Anderson says the ability to collect and translate data is changing how agronomists can work with growers.

“Access to good data will let us be a bit more precise in tracking things. If growers can keep better records, and the new equipment makes that a lot easier, I will be able to make better recommendations on management practices.”

Collecting data from across the Prairies, Canada, North America and beyond provides agronomists a more comprehensive look at trends and common regional issues, not just from one operation but from multiple operations. Anderson says this will allow for tracking of resistant diseases weeds or pests, or provide a picture of how varieties work in certain regions versus others.

“The big thing now is collecting the data. To be able to extrapolate anything out of it we need to build the database. The early adopters have now amassed a fair bit of data… how certain varieties perform, specific weed species in different fields, which herbicides were applied.

Now we are able to geotag certain areas in fields that are problems and manage those better,” Anderson says.

OPTIMIZING INPUTS Klammer has put data to work on his farm and 2017 is the third year he will use variable-rate seeding as well as prescriptions for fertilizer and chemical applications.

“The biggest benefit is the ability to maximise your investment and realize the biggest potential of the land base; utilize inputs more effectively. When you do run into a problem area in a field you have a way to go back and see what happened and correct it in the future,” Klammer says.

All three say that using data isn’t about saving money, but about putting the budgeted money to work in the most profitable way possible.

“The biggest benefit of variable rates isn’t to save money on a quarter section. You are already planning to spend x number of dollars on that quarter; you don’t reduce fertilizer or seed but instead you are strategically

placing them in the locations that can produce more for the investment,” Klammer says.

Fagnou agrees precision agriculture solutions like Echelon are about making land and crops as profitable as possible.

“The money spent on an annual subscription to gather, translate and put their data to work is an investment that can pay off in improved efficiency, less waste and a healthier bottom line.”

He cites additional benefits from making more use of data. It enables growers to collaborate with workers in the field and confirm seeding and other application rates.

Data collection allows growers and agronomists to track issues that may become more widespread, such as blackleg or sclerotinia in canola. The use of data can provide good-news stories from agriculture about responsible land management, judicious use of chemicals and inputs, and improved profitability of the Canadian crop sector.

Anderson says the potential for data use in the agriculture sector is only just starting to be realized. As more growers become engaged in not only collecting and translating data but also building it into their annual crop planning, the industry as a whole will reap the benefits.

CARBON TAXATION

A federal mandate to reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by levying a tax on fossil fuels, emissions and fertilizers has not been well received. Are farmers justified in their fears that the new tax will place undue economic costs on the ag sector?

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

C

anada’s plan to implement a tax on greenhouse gas emissions has caused a fair bit of hand wringing among prairie farmers.

However, the financial impact of a carbon tax on the western Canadian agriculture sector could be far smaller than expected, according to agricultural economists at the University of Saskatchewan.

That’s because biological emissions, which are those associated with growing crops or raising livestock, will not be taxed under Ottawa’s proposed carbon tax plan.

In addition, Ottawa has indicated that the consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel by agricultural producers will be exempt from a proposed fossil fuel levy.

For farmers, that means the greatest financial impact will likely be felt indirectly and be reflected in higher costs for some goods and services used by farmers, such as agricultural inputs, nitrogen fertilizers, farm chemicals, transportation services and freight rates for moving grain by rail.

“If you look at where most emissions come from in (the agriculture sector), a lot of them are biological emissions from things like fertilizer applications … methane emissions from cattle, et cetera, et

cetera,” said Peter Slade, an agricultural economist at the U of S. “But all of these things are not going to be taxed under the federal plan or under any provincial plans that I’ve seen, so all of those types of things would be counted outside of the carbon tax.”

Tristan Skolrud, another ag economist at the U of S, agreed.

Although all the details of the federal carbon tax plan have yet to be unveiled, it looks like consumption of fossil fuels on the farm will be tax exempt, at least for the time being, Skolrud said.

“Realistically, they (farmers) are just going to be looking at indirect effects,” said Skolrud, an assistant professor in agricultural economics department.

“For example, they might end up paying more for certain farm inputs…. The biggest potential there is for higher nitrogen fertilizer costs because producing nitrogen fertilizer is a very carbon intensive process, and if nitrogen fertilizer manufacturers are taxed, there’s a chance that some of those costs will get passed on to the final purchasers.”

However, Skolrud said domestic producers of nitrogen fertilizer will be forced to keep fertilizer prices at a competitive level, relative to nitrogen fertilizer products imported from the United States or elsewhere.

Slade and Skolrud said there are many unanswered questions sur-

rounding the federal carbon tax program.

It remains to be seen how things will roll out, but prairie farmers should not assume that the implementation of a carbon tax will be the difference between financial success and financial failure on the farm.

In general, economists agree that it makes more sense to tax pollution, which has a negative impact on society, rather than retail sales, which contribute to a healthier economy.

In theory, a carbon tax would be revenue neutral, meaning revenues that are collected could be used to offset existing taxes in other areas.

Ottawa offered some hints about what form the federal carbon tax will take in the Technical Paper on the Federal Carbon Pricing Backstop, available at bit.ly/2suM1bE. According to the paper, all provinces in Canada will have the latitude to come up with their own carbon pricing systems.

However, the federal government’s carbon pricing “backstop” will kick in if a province doesn’t come up with its own pricing and taxation plan.

The federal backstop will price carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide equivalents at $10 per tonne in 2018 and increase to $50 per tonne by 2022.

In addition, Ottawa will also introduce: • A tax levy on all types of liquid, solid and gaseous fuel, including gasoline, diesel fuel, natural gas, propane, fuel oil and coal and even waste tires with exemptions granted on certain types for agricultural activities.

• An output-based pricing system that will apply to all industrial facilities that emit 50 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

For gasoline consumers, the fuel levy will be equivalent to a tax of 2.33 cents per litre in 2018 and increasing to 11.63 cents per litre in 2022.

Some groups will be exempt from paying the fuel levy, including “registered farmers” involved in “certain farming activities.”

The Saskatchewan government opposes a carbon tax, suggesting it will discourage economic activity.

There are also lingering questions about the value of activities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester carbons, most notably, the adoption of zero-till or minimum till production systems.

In a recent academic paper coauthored by University of Saskatchewan economists Lana Awada, Richard Gray and Cecil Nagy, the economic value of adopting zero-till in Saskatchewan was estimated at $590 million between 1985 and 2012.

This included the value of sequestered carbon ($542 million), CO2 reductions related to reduced farm fuel consumption ($37 million) and gains from reduced nitrous oxide emissions ($11 million).

The researchers assigned a value of $5 as the social cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide equivalent.

By comparison, Ottawa’s backstop plan will assign a value of $10 per tonne in 2018, increasing to $50 per tonne by 2022.

Awada said it is unclear if farmers will receive credits or compensation for adopting production systems that sequester carbon and benefit the environment.

However, she thinks their efforts should be rewarded.

“Farmers’ adoption of zero tillage has probably made the largest contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Saskatchewan, but to date farmers have not yet been compensated for that,” she said.

“Carbon credit programs to reward on-farm carbon sequestration are needed. These programs will help farmers get an idea about the GHG emissions associated with particular practices and the prospects for earning carbon credits.”

The Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association has proposed that Saskatchewan farmers, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp., develop a soil carbon registry or bank.

The bank would allow farmers to accumulate and “bank” credits or offsets in exchange for adopting carbon-reducing practices on the farm, such as no-till production.

The credits accumulated in the bank could then be used to pay other carbon related taxes or penalties that are levied by any level of government under federal or provincial carbon tax schemes.

Farmers would not be responsible for calculating their own soil carbon levels. That responsibility would rest with the organization responsible for running the credit program and would be based on farmers’ management practices. brian.cross@producer.com

DID YOU KNOW? • The amount of nitrogen contained in soil organic matter is generally equal to 10 percent of the carbon stored in the soil. It is estimated that the adoption of zero-till production practices in Saskatchewan has contributed the equivalent of $2.9 billion worth of nitrogen to Saskatchewan croplands since the mid 1980s.

Greenhouse gases (GHG) are atmospheric gases that can absorb and trap solar radiation. This increased atmospheric heat is responsible for the greenhouse effect, also known as global warming.

Greenhouse gases include methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20) and carbon dioxide (C02). Once released into the atmosphere, these gases don’t react to changes in temperature or air pressure, so they have a long-lasting impact on climate change.

WARMER WEATHER, BIGGER YIELDS: An increase in the number of growing days will increase crop productivity because plants can grow bigger and set deeper roots in the growing season. This leads to greater carbon sequestration — the ability of a plant to pull carbon from the air and store it in the soil. This is what’s known as a carbon sink.

This is how farming practices can contribute to — or reduce — greenhouse gases:

CARBON DIOXIDE: Released when soils are tilled. Zero-till practices can help to reduce C02 release.

Alberta’s carbon tax plan may offer insight for others Many Alberta farmers say program exemptions mean the new carbon tax isn’t as costly as some feared it would be

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

T

here has been much hand wringing in the farm community about carbon taxes but the experience hasn’t been too bad so far in the one prairie province that has one.

“The hit wasn’t as hard on a lot of producers as we thought it was going to be,” said Lynn Jacobson, president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture.

Between the exemption for farm fuel and the ability to offset the new tax with carbon credits, many farmers are finding it to be a manageable and in some cases a revenue-neutral program.

“I think agriculture somewhat escaped or dodged a bullet,” he said.

Alberta introduced its carbon levy program on Jan. 1 this year. It is the only prairie province to have a program in place.

The federal government says all provinces must implement a program by Jan. 1, 2018. Manitoba is working on one, while Saskatchewan plans to take Ottawa to court over the issue.

Saskatchewan Agriculture contends Ottawa’s forced tax would add $10 to $12 an acre in additional costs.

Other studies have shown it could increase fertilizer costs alone by $19 per acre when fully implemented.

“That’s a significant hit for farmers,” said Robin Speer, executive director of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association.

He said farmers should be rewarded for sequestering carbon rather than penalized for their activities.

“It’s concerning any time new taxes are coming in. It’s just one more thing that’s going to affect the profitability of farming,” said Speer.

The federal government says provinces that do not have their own program will be forced to adopt one based on the model Alberta is using.

Alberta’s tax amounts to $20 per tonne in 2017, rises to $30 per tonne in 2018 and will eventually reach Ottawa’s mandated $50 per tonne by 2022.

Andrew Leach, associate professor at the Alberta School of Business, chaired the Alberta Climate Leadership Panel that recommended the lion’s share of what became Alberta’s carbon levy.

The big win for agriculture is that marked farm fuels are exempt from the tax.

Leach was disappointed the government decided to go that route because a farm that uses more fuel than a neighbouring farm is getting a bigger tax break.

“That’s sort of backwards,” he said.

Leach would have preferred a dif-

ferent type of subsidy program for farm fuel but he is pleased with the overall look of a program that was sensitive to the concerns of industries like agriculture.

“The biggest thing we were looking for in designing the policy was protecting trade-exposed industries,” he said.

In addition to getting a break on fuel, farmers can offset the costs of the tax by generating emissions credits, which can be sold to heavy emitters.

The credits are earned by implementing practices such as no-till farming and reduced fertilizer use.

Farmers have been earning credits since 2007 but the amount they are worth doubled to $30 per tonne with the implementation of the new levy.

“That doubling of their value gets them over the hurdle of being really interesting and economically viable for a lot of opportunities on farms,” said Leach.

Jacobson said the ability to earn carbon offsets will make the program a wash for some dryland farmers.

“I think we’re better off in some ways than other people,” he said.

However, he noted that farmers are still paying extra taxes on natural gas and propane and those costs can add up for heavy users, such as greenhouses and irrigated operations.

The province is allowing greenhouse operators to recoup up to 80 percent of the carbon levy during the next two years, keeping them competitive with their counterparts in British Columbia.

The Alberta Federation of Agriculture has been asking the government for a break for irrigators as well.

“They have been talking to us, so it leads me to believe that maybe they’re looking at something on that,” he said.

Speer said the tax will have a big impact on value-added operations. The Alberta Cattle Feeders Association estimates it will cost feedlot operations between $6 and $7 a head.

The other big concern for farmers was what impact the tax was going to have on fertilizer costs because fertilizer manufacturers are heavy users of natural gas.

Alberta’s fertilizer manufacturers had already been paying a carbon tax since 2007 under the province’s Specified Gas Emitters Regulation.

They will continue operating under that program until the end of 2017 when the province transitions to another program that is still in the works.

Leach said the government is very much aware that fertilizer is another trade-exposed industry and it doesn’t want to introduce a policy that will penalize local production at the expense of imports.

“You’re going to see a policy that protects against that,” he said.

Alberta has produced a document that states the direct cost of the tax on an average household with a couple and two children will be $338 in 2017 and $508 in 2018.

An estimated 60 percent of households will get a full rebate due to their incomes.

There have been no estimates on what it would cost the average farm because there is too much variability in farm operations, said Leach.

Scott Hennig, vice-president of communications with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said the levy will result in a lot of hidden costs for farmers in the form of things like higher transportation costs.

“Even if you’re buying a new piece of machinery, it has got to get here. It’s not being manufactured in Olds or something like that,” he said.

Hennig said the tax will be built into everything farmers pay for including crop inputs.

“They’re planning on pulling a whole pile of money out of the economy,” he said.

The government estimates the levy will generate $3.85 billion over the next three fiscal years, all of which will be reinvested in the Alberta economy. sean.pratt@producer.com

FORT MCMURRAY WILDFIRES

Researchers learn from ‘The Beast’ WESTERN PRODUCER LETHBRIDGE REPORTER BARB GLEN RECENTLY PARTICIPATED IN A SOILS TOUR OF THE FORT MCMURRAY, ALTA., AREA AND FILED THIS STORY. FOR A RELATED STORY SEE PAGE 54.

F

ORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — The fire that caused 80,000 people to evacuate their homes and affected the Canadian economy when it reduced oil production got a lot of attention in 2016.

It was slightly more than one year ago that residents of Fort McMurray, Alta., fled the flames that destroyed more than 2,500 homes and temporarily halted oilsands activity.

The event generated international news and outpourings of support across Canada.

The threat and partial destruction of a city, with its direct impact on people, made the 2016 fire a well-known event. Less widely known is the fact that wildfires are common in this region of northern Alberta.

On the recent Alberta Soils Tour in the Athabasca region, participants examined soil and forest rejuvenation at the 1995 Mariana Lake Fire, the 2002 House River fire and the 2011 Richardson fire, as well as 2016 Fort McMurray fire that came to be known as “The Beast.”

Fires are so common in the area that it hindered Fort McMurray citizens’ early attention to the monster that would eventually raze some of their homes.

“It’s a regular thing for us. We are desensitized to it,” said Jordan Redshaw, communications co-ordinator for the regional municipality of Wood Buffalo.

In hindsight, he marvels at initial thoughts that the 2016 fire was no big deal.

“This is totally normal for our community and this is the mentality that was one of our bigger challenges in terms of evacuating the community as a whole,” he said.

“There is that pre-existing sentiment that, ‘oh it’s normal for this area to have that.’ ” For those studying forest and soil rejuvenation after fires, however, the Athabasca area and its many fires over the years form a rich study environment.

Brad Pinno, a research scientist with the Canadian Forest Service, is studying forest response to disturbance, including fire and reclamation. The Athabasca region is an ideal location for him and his team.

“One of the most interesting things we found was, looking at the Fort McMurray fire from last summer, we were able to go back there that same year and it was amazing just how quickly all of the vegetation came back,” said Pinno.

“Four months later there were 100,000 stems (of trembling aspen) per hectare and they were all about four feet high on average. That’s just an incredible response of nature to the fire. So clearly these plants are adapted to these types of disturbances.”

Canadian Forest Service researcher Brad Pinno discusses forest fires and natural recovery during the Alberta Soils Tour. | Extremely dry conditions last May allowed the fire to spread but heavy rainfall in late spring and fall gave trees and plants a quick start afterward.

“The vegetation just exploded after the fire,” said Pinno. “It was the perfect conditions for these trees to get established.”

Much of the burned area south of Fort McMurray now features aspen and jackpine. Aspen are the primary deciduous trees in the region and when their tops are burned, they regenerate from root suckers.

“They are genetically identical to the previous trees that were there because they’re all the same genetic type. Individual stems are all exactly the same tree, basically,” said Pinno.

In the case of Jack pine, fire burns the trees and heats the cones so they release their seeds and begin regenerating the forest. Both aspen and jackpine thrive on the full sunlight available after a fire.

Seeds held dormant in the soil also sprout after a fire and form an understory, although that depends on fire severity and how much it affected organic matter in the top soil layers.

“You can lose a lot of nitrogen from the site after a fire,” said Pinno.

“It also can change the pH balance. A lot of the ash that’s generated from fires is really high in base cations. The pH can go up and that can shift the other nutrients, so potentially after a fire you can get a decrease in available phosphorus.

“The other thing that happens is you get this big flush of decomposition after a fire. If there is organic matter left after a fire, it’s warmer and you get a lot more available water because the trees aren’t there

sucking it up anymore, so you get this hotter, moister environment that’s really conducive to … decomposition.”

Luvisol soil in Alberta is conducive to growing trees, which is fortunate given the many losses to fire and oil extraction.

However, when fire occurs, new tree stands will burn hotter because their branches overlap at the canopy and they have branches extend-

ing to the ground.

The House River, Mariana Lake, Richardson and Fort McMurray fires all started in May and were likely all caused by humans. Such springtime fires spread quickly because aspen is not yet leafed out and thus burns more freely.

Studies of fire aftermath may also be at least partially applicable for use in reclamation from oil sands activity. Alberta’s reclamation

goals are to return the land to a natural state of some kind after oil sands projects conclude.

“Whatever we can learn from the natural forest is a great benefit. If we look at the natural forest, we can really see if there’s some species or some attribute or some process that we’re just missing from our reclamation areas,” Pinno said. barb.glen@producer.com

Disaster review report suggests improvements Breakdown in communications cited as issue

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

An independent review and report on the Alberta government response to the 2016 wildfire in t h e Fo r t Mc Mu r ray re g i o n , released June 8, contains 31 recommendations upon which the government says it will act.

KPMG’s post-incident assessment report identified successes and failures in handling the fire, which burned 1.5 million acres and had an estimated economic impact of $8.9 billion.

It is the costliest insured natural disaster in Canadian history, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

Two people died while fleeing the fire and about 88,000 people were evacuated from the city and other locales within the fire’s path.

ONEIL CARLIER ALBERTA AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY MINISTER

The report said evacuation of the urban area of Fort McMurray was done within a day and in a timely manner. Other listed successes included firefighters’ protection of critical infrastructure, telephone town halls to communicate and the support and services provided by other parts of the province.

It also noted breakdowns in communication and lack of sufficient preparation for the fire season.

“The wildfire was a devastating event that greatly affected the lives of the residents of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo,” Alberta Agriculture and

Forestry Minister Oneil Carlier said in a government news release responding to the report.

“As a government, it is our duty to take a close look at what happened and identify any enhancements that can be made to further support the extraordinary efforts of our wild land firefighters and emergency response staff and help ensure the safety and wellbeing of Albertans.”

Alberta’s Wildrose Party called for a public inquiry because the government delayed release of the report, which it is said to have received in March.

“This is the worst natural disaster in our province’s history and it is absolutely outrageous that the government hid this report for months to avoid accountability,” said Wildrose leader Brian Jean.

“The thousands of people who l o st th e i r h ome s hav e be e n demanding answers, and the government has intentionally hid this report from them. The information in this report shows that we were not prepared and more should have been done. It’s now more clear than ever that we need an independent judge-led inquir y for full transparenc y and accountability.”

Alberta’s Liberal party said the timing of the release of postdisaster reports should be legislated to avoid undue delay. That would require a change to the Municipal Government Act. “Leaving the release of disaster event reports up to those (who) may be most embarrassed by its contents undermines the process and politicizes a matter of critical public importance,” said Liberal leader David Swann.

The government said it will cost $10 million over three years to implement all the recommendations in the report.

Soil reclamation puts bison, bacteria and plants to work

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MCMURR AY, Alta. — Bison play a role in reclamation efforts at Syncrude’s Mildred Lake Oil Sands Mine.

When the oilsands were depleted at this site north of Fort McMurray in the late 1970s, the company began reclamation projects involving development of a bison herd, lake formation and the Sandhill Fen project.

The bison element, now the Beaver Creek Wood Bison Ranch, was initially stocked with animals from Elk Island National Park and now numbers about 300 head.

Part of the bison paddock used for seasonal grazing can be seen from a viewpoint on South Bison Hill.

The bulk of the ranch is located further west of the viewpoint, from which visitors can also see an active part of Syncrude’s mining operations.

The viewpoint was a stop during the May 29-31 Alberta Soils Tour

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

that took participants to various sites in the Athabasca region.

Konstantin Dlusskiy, a soil scientist with Paragon Soil and Environmental Consulting, provided an overview.

“Sooner or later they propose to reclaim it to the forested area or wetland, as required,” he said of the former mine site. “They’re not there yet. Instead, they decided to show the bison and show the success of reclamation by introducing bison that were brought from Elk Island National Park here in the late ’90s.”

Scientist says efforts to reclaim a tailings pit is a large-scale experiment The role of bison and co-operation from the Fort McKay First Nation are also depicted on information posts along the viewpoint and on a monument along the southbound lanes of Highway 63.

Another part of the reclamation project involves a lake created from a 60-metre deep pit that was once part of the mining operation.

“Instead of levelling it and filling it with waste rock, they came to a different technique,” said Dlusskiy.

“They started filling it with tailings sand, so a mix of sand, water and hydrocarbons that are not extractable from oilsands.”

The addition of gypsum separated water from some of the remaining hydrocarbons, which were collected. The rest formed a jelly-like soupy material that remains suspended for long periods of time.

Fresh water was added to the surface, and it’s believed that sooner or later the mature tailings will sink and decompose as a result of gravity and bacterial activity.

“Actually there is fish in this lake,” said Dlusskiy, noting they sneaked in during pond fill from a nearby creek. “The bottom is poisonous and I would not swim here … but it is still in the progress of reclamation, so the experiment is not over.

It’s a large-scale experiment. It’s the best technique known at the

time, so give it respect.

“It is one of the first approaches to reclaim the mature tailings before it was known how to do it.”

Dlusskiy said the pond, its water quality and fish are being monitored as the experiment continues.

Yet another part of Syncrude’s reclamation efforts involve the formation of Gateway Hill, a 257acre landform about 40 metres high. The area was the first site to obtain a land reclamation certificate from the province.

The hill is an overburden dump from Syncrude’s Mildred Lake and Aurora North Mines. Overburden is material removed from the surface so oilsands can be mined.

According to Alberta Soils Tour data, reclamation at Gateway Hill was done progressively beginning in 1982 and finishing in 1994.

One area of the site was provided with one lift, or layer, of soil, while another received two lifts. All oilsands operators now use the latter technique for overburden reclamation.

In the early days of reclamation, vegetation was chosen for its ability to grow quickly and build soil.

These days operators are required to plant only native species.

Gateway Hill now features a wetland and hiking trails through bush and forest.

“They have quite diverse plants growing, so it is, I would say, a success,” Dlusskiy said. “It is not a regional forest, but it is pretty good looking.”

The Pembina Institute expressed some reservations about the Gateway Hill project in a 2008 report.

“While it is encouraging to know that reclaimed land is being certified and returned to Albertans, it is equally disconcerting to consider the challenges that lie ahead. Gateway Hill represents .2 percent of the total land base disturbed by mines.”

The institute also noted the area that is now a hill was once a wetland-dominated, low-lying landscape, so “clearly what was lost is not being replaced.” barb.glen@producer.com

Deere’s 700 harvesters big on auto High-level automated adjustment to conditions means your combine samples are good as Grandma’s

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

MOLINE, Ill. — Try this. Put your 15-year-old nephew into your half-million dollar harvester, make your initial settings and then turn him loose in the canola for a day of combining.

It’s a scary thought, right?

However, John Deere says that’s what a farmer can do with a new 2018 S700 series combine. Based on the five-year-old design of the S600 series, the new machine has taken automation a step forward.

The S700 made its media debut

June 1 at John Deere’s head office in Moline, Illinois.

Deere says the high level of precise automation lets a farm manager make all the correct adjustments and then lock in those parameters for the day.

As conditions continually change, the smart combine con-

tinually fine-tunes the settings to keep performance in the target zone.

It means a farm manager can set up a half-dozen combines with novice operators and put them to work, confident that the settings are correct right up until the last round.

It’s all about removing the stress of combine tuning from the shoulders of the operator, said Randy Sergesketter, senior vice-president of crop harvesting equipment at Deere.

John Deere matches cart size to quarter section seeding strategy

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

MOLINE, Ill. — In designing its new C850 air cart, John Deere declined the temptation to join the “now I’m the biggest” competition.

Instead, it has designed an 850 bushel cart with four tanks that ensures the operator can seed a full quarter section without stopping to fill.

The extra 100 or 200 bushels often leaves the operator in a quandary because it allows him to only get a start on the next quarter.

The other possibility is that the extra capacity is not used because it doesn’t fit the logistics of field operations, John Deere rep Bruce Frank said at the Deere factory in Moline in early June.

“We talked to a lot of farmers, and

they told us they didn’t care who had the biggest cart. They just wanted enough volume so they were sure they could finish up a quarter section without stopping,” he said.

“An 850 bushel cart is more about strategy than bragging rights.”

Frank said tank scales under each compartment allow accurate readings on how much product is in each tank. Ultrasonic bin level sensors and a camera in each tank provide a high degree of accuracy.

ActiveCal allows the operator to calibrate in the morning and then re-calibrate throughout the day from the tractor as conditions change, he said. The technology can be used in variable rate seeding and fertilizer application.

With wet western Canada seeding conditions in mind, the engi-

neers decided the new cart should ride on specially designed Firestone tires. Standard size is 800 series, but the buyer can order IF900 series on the front and IF850 series for the rear duals. Dual rear tires are standard on all C850 carts.

Tracks are not available.

The cart has one fan for seed and another for fertilizer. Together, they can deliver up to 550 pounds of product per minute at a ground speed of 5.5 m.p.h. The conveyor moves 100 bushels per minute for a fill time of less than 10 minutes.

The C850 is compatible with the 76-foot 1870 hoe drill and the 60-foot 1890 no-till drill. Frank said the cart can be used with another brand tractor as long as it’s pulling a John Deere drill. ron.lyseng@producer.com

That’s why we’ve introduced Combine Advisor,” said Sergesketter. “You can take an untrained combine operator, establish the machine performance levels you expect to achieve and the machine will maintain those throughout the day as conditions change.

“The sensors know when conditions begin to change, and they relay that information so the appropriate adjustments happen.”

Sergesketter said that any time Deere makes a significant upgrade like this, it starts with the operator.

The engineers find out what operators need to make the job easier so the machine is more productive.

“We know that when it’s easier to operate the machine, when there’s more automation, then the customer gets a better results.”

If the farm manager has a half-dozen combines running in the same crop, he can do the settings for one unit and tell the others what to set.

Combine Advisor will be standard on all new S760, S770, S780 and S790 machines in the 2018 model year.

The package incorporates a number of different technologies: • Auto Maintain is a function within Combine Advisor that is supported with ActiveVision cameras that let the operator see inside the tailings and clean grain elevators on the screen.

• Active Yield is another new feature that automatically calibrates the mass flow sensor, thus eliminating the need for manual calibrations.

Operators will experience greater comfort in the cab compared to previous models. The new CommandCenter cab will be shared across the entire combine, big tractor and self-propelled sprayer lines.

This means an operator can move from one machine to another and not have to totally re-learn the controls.

WEED OF THE WEEK: CLEAVERS

BY THOM WEIR FREELANCE WRITER

Last week I addressed a weed that I called the scourge of the south.

For more northern grain belt farmers, this week I will discuss the scourge of the north, more commonly known as cleavers.

Just as we saw a significant increase in the acres infested with kochia, we have seen cleavers spread across agricultural soils in the black and neighbouring soil zones.

Cleavers actually refers to two closely related species: galium aparine and galium spurium, also known as false cleavers. It is a very competitive weed.

There have been a number of theories about the spread of this disease.

Fine spines on the weed’s stems cause it to stick to anything it touches. Deer and geese have been blamed for cleavers dispersal.

The fact that the seed is almost identical in size to canola might also have led to farmers inadvertently planting cleavers when seed was open pollinated or when brown bagged canola was seeded.

Whatever the reason, cleavers is widespread across the dark brown, black and grey wooded soil zones.

Cleavers grows both as a winter annual and a spring annual weed.

A higher number of weeds have been surviving our winters, wheth-

er because of a selection of hardier biotypes, warmer winters or other cultural shifts.

This version of cleavers is quite easily controlled with a shot of glyphosate in the fall, but like many winter annuals, it seems to be harder to control in the spring.

Because many populations of cleavers are Group 2 resistant, the use of a non-Group 2 add-in product with glyphosate is warranted when over-wintering populations are observed. These may include, but are not restricted to, products such as Heat, Conquer and CleanStart.

In fact, it has now got to the stage where if you have cleavers, you should consider them to be resistant to Group 2 products. This means managing cleavers just became a whole lot harder.

Fluroxypyr-containing products have been the chemical tool of choice in cereals, but there are populations of cleavers that are resistant to both Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides. Seeds can be sent to provincial crop protection labs for resistance testing if dual resistance is suspected.

Growing crops such as peas has become very troublesome with the increase in Group 2 resistant cleaver biotypes. IMI chemistry alone is no longer effective, and products containing bentazon (Viper) claim only suppression.

Products containing sulfentra-

operators to waste less time disconnecting, trailering and reconnecting heads when moving from field to field.

For corn growers harvesting high moisture corn, corn head improvements include an auger floor insert to ease crop handling and a lower auger height to minimize crop damage.

Deere said that for small grains, the 700D Rigid Draper has a 20 percent capacity improvement in tough harvesting conditions over the previous model. It features an 18-inch top crop auger that’s 50 percent larger in diameter.

Heavy-duty drives, high-performance gauge wheels and a new centre section seal kit reduces centre section grain losses by up to 45 percent in canola. ron.lyseng@producer.com

STRATEGIES TO FOLLOW IN THE BATTLE AGAINST CLEAVERS • Use a varied approach, including fall and pre-seeding burn-off products • Use the maximum labelled rates for in-season products.

• Tank mix or use pre-mixed products that contain multiple control products for cleavers.

• Use multiple application of products, where allowed for on the label.

• Avoid using Group 2 products if you suspect you may have a resistance issue.

• Spray early because products are most effective on young cleaver plants.

zone (Authority or Authority Charge) control cleavers if applied as a pre-emergent product before the peas come out of the ground.

Ethalflurin (Edge) will also provide suppression or marginal control of cleavers.

With canola, glyphosate provides the most consistent control of cleavers. However, the high rate or a second application should be made under heavy pressures or when winter annual populations have been poorly controlled.

Glufosinate (Liberty) is marginal at controlling cleavers with a single pass. When using this product, use two applications and use the maximum rate on the label.

Both of these products work best on small cleavers so plan to scout and spray your canola early.

Clearfield canola is not advised if you have a cleavers problem because there are no alternatives to Group 2 products in this system.

Quinclorac (Clever) is a Group 4 product that provides excellent cleavers control in canola, especially when tank mixed with glufosinate or glyphosate. While registered on canola, maximum residue limits (MRLs) have not been established for quinclorac in China, so the use of this product is not recommended.

Clomazone (Command) is a Group 13 soil-applied herbicide, which will provide early residual control of cleavers. It can be applied pre-seed with a glyphosate burn-off application and works with all herbicide tolerant canola.

Clomazone reduces the initial

flush of cleavers, reducing the pressure on in-crop herbicides that are also intended for the pest. Clomazone is registered for pre-plant application in canola and leaves no detectable residue on seed, oil or meal.

There are also products registered with multiple modes of action for cereals. Where possible, use one of the products containing fluroxypyr when targeting cleavers and use the maximum labelled rate for the chosen product. A product such as Infinity FX, which contains three modes of action, none of which is Group 2, is an excellent choice.

CLARESHOLM, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; About one tonne of topsoil is lost for every one to two tonnes of grain produced on prairie fields.

That is Nicole Mastersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assessment of soil-loss severity. The agroecologist and biological education specialist from New Zealand gives â&#x20AC;&#x153;soil schoolsâ&#x20AC;? to farmers and ranchers as she seeks to improve soil health and by extension, animal health and food quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing â&#x20AC;Ś about half the amount of soil that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re producing in terms of grain that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re harvesting. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to be proud of,â&#x20AC;? Masters told those at a May 23 soil school organized by the Foothills Forage and Grazing Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a declining slope here in Canada and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same all over the world.â&#x20AC;?

Masters is a proponent of regenerative agriculture. She prefers that term to the oft-mentioned term â&#x20AC;&#x153;sustainable.â&#x20AC;?

Sustainable means maintenance of the status quo, said Masters.

Regeneration seeks to stop the degeneration of soil by repairing disturbance events, minimizing harmful inputs and building resilience through microbes and carbon.

She had praise for prairie farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attention to soil health improvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think in Canada what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing is the fastest uptake of soil health. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a really great job with extension services here,â&#x20AC;? she said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing is, producers know that the system is not working and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending more and just being more vulnerable.

So theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for other tools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not looking at soil health, what are you doing as a producer?â&#x20AC;?

Native grasslands on the Prairies, considered a major advantage by ranchers, are not exempt from soil degradation even if untouched except by grazing, Masters said, and in many cases their production of nutritious livestock feed could be improved with some intervention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on your goals. Some people want to conserve their native lands and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to remember theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in a natural state. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any natural state in Canada. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all disturbed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve removed the natural grazing patterns. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve removed how animals used to move across landscapes. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got fences. Fencing is a disturbance. Those landscapes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually being managed optimally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people are doing a better job than others â&#x20AC;Ś but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a couple of hundred years of degradation in between.â&#x20AC;?

If the goal is to produce beef, ranchers should realize it might require more than what native

grassland can provide to cattle, Masters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing a lot of deficiencies in the rangeland. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing a lot of deficiencies, major nutrient deficiencies in grass. Even with working with people that are doing your adaptive planned, managed grazing, (they) have still got pretty big issues that they need to look at in terms of forage quality.â&#x20AC;?

The whole ecosystem is a little bit broken. In some places itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really broken.

You have to figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed to give it a jumpstart.

NICOLE MASTERS AGRO-ECOLOGIST

Grazing, whether managed or not, extracts nutrients from the landscape and gradually reduces soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to absorb and move water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole ecosystem is a little bit broken. In some places itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really broken,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed to give it a jumpstart.â&#x20AC;?

Getting soil tested is the first step, though that is seldom done by ranchers on either their tame or native grasslands.

Digging holes and observing the soil and its contents is also instructive.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t testing here or in the U.S. â&#x20AC;Ś so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with. So then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to find another way to support animal health, through mineral licks and salt blocks. And you can do that forever. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine.

But the soil resource is still degrading.â&#x20AC;?

Andy Hart of Willabar Ranch near Claresholm, Alta., offered two sites on his property for exploration by workshop participants.

One site has been in perennial grass pasture for more than 50 years and has never had commercial fertilizer. It was in rest-rotation grazing for the past five years and before that was continuously grazed in summer.

On the second site, perennial grass pasture was replaced in 2007 with irrigated barley, followed by six years of mixed legume grass hay. In 2015, the hay was replaced with a cocktail mix of forage turnip, forage radish, hairy vetch, crimson clover, Italian ryegrass, forage peas and oats.

Mastersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; analysis of the two sites showed the latter field had better soil quality, though more could be done to enhance it.

That was also Hartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment.

He was able to greatly increase the number of grazing days on the 35-acre field. It fed 220 cow-calf pairs for nine days last July and for several more days of swath grazing in fall.

Masters has analyzed soil problems in several countries, and has advocated such treatments as seawater, milk and humic acid.

Like many North Americans, soil has constipation, indigestion and diarrhea, said Masters. Herbicides, fungicides, tillage, overgrazing, compaction and monoculture are among the issues.

Healthy soil has vast amounts of microbes, fungi, carbon and a wide array of nutrients. barb.glen@producer.com

ALBERTA OUTBREAK

Tracing TB origin to begin soon

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — Producers who sold cattle to a tuberculosis-infected herd in southern Alberta can expect a letter in the mail soon from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

About 200 herds will be involved in work, starting in September, to further track the origins of the outbreak, said Karin Schmid, an Alberta Beef Producers liaison with affected ranchers and the CFIA. “The majority of herds that are part of the trace-in inspection can expect their quarantine to last about a month,” she said at a June 13 ABP meeting in Edmonton.

Quarantines will not start until a testing crew shows up on a farm.

About 10 herds will be tested per week using the caudal fold test. Reactors will be given another test, and if they react to both tests, they will be slaughtered and given an enhanced post mortem examination.

“The source remains an outstanding question,” Schmid said.

“We still do not have any clear evidence indicating a source. We may never know.”

Six cases were found on a ranch near Jenner, Alta., last fall, but the investigation resulted in 11,500 animals being destroyed.

Thirty-two quarantines remain with about 4,500 animals involved.

The CFIA has paid out $37.2 million in compensation for destroyed animals, and another $5.9 million was paid out through the Alberta Financial Services Corp. to help producers maintain facilities and provide feed and water while under quarantine.

Cleaning and disinfection is underway on the infected premises. A fallow period of 45 days with an average temperature of 12 C is needed to kill the organism before restocking can begin.

The new animals will be tested six and 18 months after they arrive.

The CFIA has admitted communication was poor at the beginning of the investigation, which went deeper than expected.

“They did not expect the size and scope of this investigation,” Schmid said. “Generally when there is a TB investigation in Canada, it is a little, small contained thing.”

Record keeping and traceability were also analyzed and shortfalls discussed.

“If industry had implemented the cattle identification implementation plan fully, we would be done this investigation by now. It would not have saved all the animals from being depopulated, but it would have sped things up significantly.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

PED virus spreading in Man. Manitoba Pork Council wants the CFIA to reinstate truck washing protocols in wake of PED cases

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay has asked the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to examine its transportation protocols as PED vir us spreads rapidly in Manitoba.

The province has reported 22 cases of the pig disease since May 2.

CFIA discontinued a pilot truck washing protocol a year ago that was implemented after the initial 2014 outbreak.

Trucks taking feeders south were tagged at the U.S. border and went to special wash stations upon return to Canada.

Many believe reinstating strict washing would help contain the disease.

Manitoba Pork Council general manager Andrew Dickson told the House of Commons agriculture committee in Ottawa last week that the industry needs to catch some breaks to get on top of the problem.

He said the trailers hauling feeders are “like a little piece of Canada” that go across the border to U.S. farms.

“We want to preserve that trailer, bring it across the border, still a little piece of Canada, and we can clean it up in Canada, where we were able to contain the disease,” Dickson said.

CFIA has said there is no scien-

tific proof that trucks are spreading the disease. Trucks hauling slaughter animals must only be scraped clean.

Chief federal veter inar ian Harpreet Kochhar said animal, human and equipment movement could all transmit the virus.

Feed is also suspect.

We need to do a better job on this thing. The only way of doing that is to have inspectors at wash stations in Canada where we control the process and do this properly.

ANDREW DICKSON MANITOBA PORK COUNCIL

Dickson said washing can control the virus if the water is heated to 60 C and disinfectants are used.

However, in the U.S., where there are no certified wash stations, a trucker would have no idea if the water is the right temperature and if the right amount of disinfectant is used.

“I know from talking to people in Des Moines, Iowa, trucks roll in, they do a firehouse thing, blast the manure all over the place, and drive right out, at the same station we’re taking trailers to supposedly get 60 degrees Centigrade water

and so on,” Dickson said.

“There’s nobody in charge of this thing. This is not appropriate, guys. We need to do a better job on this thing. The only way of doing that is to have inspectors at wash stations in Canada where we control the process and do this properly.”

He also said trailers coming into Manitoba are all rewashed even if they look clean.

MacAulay has asked the CFIA to meet with the provinces, particularly Manitoba, which are on the front lines of the problem.

“Officials at the CFIA have been instructed to sit down with provincial counterparts to explore potential solutions related to washing trucks that cross the border,” he said in a statement.

Claude Vielfaure, president of Hylife Ltd., told the committee the company has struggled with the virus at its 11 sites in the past month. One previous outbreak last year was quickly eradicated.

“But this year the virus is spreading faster and is more widespread, which has created a lot of virus shedding and has impacted surrounding sites at an alarming rate,” he said. “Although we are maintaining strong biosecurity protocols, in most instances we believe the virus is being spread with no direct link to pig movements but is spreading by air.”

Vielfaure said fences between

Hylife sites were swabbed and found to be contaminated, and that could happen only by air transmission.

Meanwhile, Greg Douglas, a former chief veterinarian in Saskatchewan and Ontario, said the CFIA has to take a larger role in animal health.

Douglas, who is now vice-president of animal care for Maple Leaf Foods, told the committee that there has been a lack of collaboration, communication and transparency in dealing with PED in Manitoba, particularly with smaller producers.

He said CFIA didn’t offer much help when PED was first discovered in Ontario in January 2014 but eventually provided some biosecurity and feed testing assistance.

“I don’t think the CFIA has a strong animal health presence,” Douglas said. “I think they need to re-engage in emerging diseases.”

PED isn’t federally reportable, but Douglas said that shouldn’t matter when it is affecting several provinces.

He said outbreaks are occurring more often, and animal health is constantly under threat.

“Right now CFIA reports to Health Canada, and animal health seems to be orphaned there since they aren’t reporting as directly to Agriculture Canada.” karen.briere@producer.com

Alta. dairy show showcases top breeds Producers say event is a marketing tool

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH

EDMONTON — The ongoing debate over checkoffs to fund Alberta Beef Producers continues.

Regulations within the marketing of agricultural products act are being amended to allow producer groups to decide on funding models and whether service charges should be non-refundable.

“These amendments are the first step to a non-refundable service charge,” Alberta Beef Producers chair Bob Lowe said during the organization’s spring meeting in Edmonton June 13.

However, Agriculture Minister Oneil Carlier has told producers no changes can be made unless all the players are in agreement.

Beef groups have been talking to find an acceptable proposal to fund research and beef promotion through something like a beef industry development fund. It is possible to vote once an acceptable proposal is found, but there are no hard and fast rules on how a producer plebiscite would work, said Lowe.

“There will be no return to a nonrefundable checkoff without a plebiscite, and in order to have a plebiscite we would have to come together with the other industry organizations,” said Lowe, who favours more industry collaboration. “What we have been doing for the last eight or nine years has not been working.”

The organization now collects $3 every time an animal is sold in Alberta. That brings in about $10 million, of which about one-third

is remitted to the national checkoff agency.

Another $2.5 million is returned to producers who requested a refund, leaving ABP with about $5 million.

Alberta Cattle Feeders Association president Martin Zuidhoff said a number of proposals have been put on the table.

Most of the refund requests come from feedlots, and many pocket the money, he added.

$2.5 million OF CHECK-OFF MONEY IS REFUNDED TO PRODUCERS EACH YEAR Talks continue among executives and board members from both organizations with a common goal to build a stronger beef industry.

“The cattle feeders want to continue building on the Alberta advantage and encourage the younger generation and strengthen the industry,” he said. “We feel strongly about working together.”

He pointed out it is possible for agriculture groups to collaborate when necessary. The Agriculture Coalition comprises 29 commodity groups that united to show their displeasure over government legislation to develop new farm safety laws. That coalition continues to meet.

“It is not as divisive as it appears,” Zuidhoff said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CALGARY BUREAU

LEDUC, Alta. — When it was time for the peewee division of the Alberta Dairy Congress, 24 youngsters between the ages of two and nine stepped into the ring to show off their heifers.

The children were often accompanied by nervous parents, and an event like this brings families and friends together at the annual dairy show held in Leduc June 8-10.

The young people who show up at these events develop an early interest and enthusiasm for dairy and farming and also meet other people with similar interests, said show judge Dr. David Chalack. The congress included a junior component as well as the larger black and white and red and white Holsteins.

“So many kids on commercial farms who do not participate in 4-H or shows don’t get excited about agriculture until late in life,” he said.

However, shows of this type are starting to consolidate, and there are fewer exhibitions for people to promote their cattle.

“There are fewer shows but that has its advantages because people don’t have to attend so many shows to get the notoriety,” he said.

“It is so expensive to do this and it is a real commitment. The people who do it are very committed. It is a great marketing tool. It is a way to identify the best in the breed and it is great for networking and developing the youth.”

who judged the junior show, comes from an active show family that travels across the West to exhibit their Holsteins.

“There used to be a lot more of them but it is getting more expensive to go to them and they have consolidated,” she said. “It is tough for the kids to get the experience.”

Crosbie and her husband, Ian, own Benbie Holsteins and coach the Saskatchewan Western Canadian Classic team. This involves young dairy enthusiasts from the four western provinces and will be held in Weyburn, Sask., this year.

Along with partners Robella Holsteins of Balgonie, Sask., and Zimmer Holsteins of Daysland, Alta., the Benbie crew showed the grand champion black and white female at the show. It was the second time this cow, born in 2011, has been shown.

PORK PRODUCTION

China’s export slowdown may hit world markets The EU will pose competition for Canadian exports

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — Canada is the third largest pork exporter in the world, so it may surprise people that almost one-third of Canadian consumption is imported.

“In 2012 imports reached a record high where 31 percent of the pork consumed in this country came from somewhere else,” said Michael Young of Canada Pork at the annual Canadian Meat Council meeting held in Ottawa June 6-7.

Canada exports 64 percent of its production and sends pork to about 100 countries.

For every barn you build, you better have an export market for (it) because Americans will only eat a certain level of pork.

BRETT STUART MARKET ANALYST

Meat packing companies and associations in the Canadian pork industry have built a plan to promote the homegrown product.

With a small budget of $500,000, a verified Canadian pork program has been developed for domestic and international promotion.

Thirteen meat packers and eight pork associations fund the program.

The registered trademark maple leaf logo is available for packaging. It carries a guarantee that the pork comes from a verified program that promises no added hormones, onfarm food safety, animal welfare, a quality assurance system and mandatory traceability.

The program has reached out to primary processors, further processing, retail, restaurants and export products.

It was rolled out a year ago in Japan, which led Costco Wholesale Japan to switch to 100 percent Canadian pork in all its sites.

Canada is a major pork presence in Japan and China, said market

analyst Brett Stuart of Global AgriTrends. Japan accepts large amounts of chilled pork from Canada and has proven to be a stable market in which buyers make purchases every month.

“Over the last five or six years, Canada has taken 15 percent of the chilled market away from the U.S.,” he told the meat council.

Stuart pointed to several factors that may be coming.

Sales to China, a major meat importer, could slow. The Chinese government raised corn subsidies and many hog farmers there went out of business.

In 2016, the Chinese government realized the country was short on pork so it let corn prices fall by half and hog farmers made incredible profits of about $100 per head.

Recently, those profits have dropped to about $30 a head but that remains enough to continue expansion. That means China’s pork imports could fall as the country produces more of its own.

“When the Chinese government does not want pork, they have ways to manage trade and that is a big concern right now,” he said.

In Europe, farmers lost the Russian market and had an extra 600,000 tonnes to sell, which ended up in Asia.

“A slowdown in China displaces a whole lot of pork and it displaces a lot of (European Union) pork,” Stuart said.

If the EU cannot sell as much pork to China, it needs to find other outlets. Demand from China was down 17 percent, so EU pork could end up in Japan, Philippines, United States and Australia.

“Those are all (Canadian) markets and those are the risks we take when pork is displaced,” he said.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has also been producing more pork, and Stuart questioned where it will all go.

B.C. CATTLEMEN’S MEETING

Carbon sink compensation among cattle group resolutions

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association wants producers to be rewarded for sequestering carbon in the soil.

Members passed a resolution encouraging the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and the Canadian Round Table for Sustainable Beef to ask the federal government to implement a program that pays agriculture producers for measurable carbon sequestration that occurs on their land.

“There is a lot of talk from the federal and provincial levels about carbon taxes that we are to pay whether it is on fuel or other things.

This is a proactive way to try and recapture some of the expenditures that we are experiencing in the future,” John Anderson of the Nicola Stock Breeders Association said at the BCCA annual meeting held in Kamloops May 25-27.

“It is a positive way for agriculture producers to be able to get some benefit from the land they ranch and farm on. Society is putting some of these costs upon us, and

this is a way for society to repay some of the costs.”

However, some delegates pointed out that their land already holds a good deal of carbon because of past management practices, but there is no current market for that.

“The increase in carbon that we have on our farms is variable,” said Dave Zehnder, who ranches at Invermere. “The one thing that isn’t variable is the carbon we already have sequestered in the ground and that has a value.”

Another resolution called for the association to increase its reward

for information on cattle rustlers to $5,000 from $2,000. The reward is paid for information leading to a conviction for cattle theft.

The reward was paid out once this past year, and it is hoped more money may encourage people to come forward, said Martin Rossman of Quesnel.

Members also passed a resolution asking the federal fisheries department to reinstate the resource restoration program that was eliminated May 26. It helped support initiatives such as fish hatcheries, but cattle producers

were able to use it to develop riparian projects.

“It is a huge step back for some of us who are finally getting around some riparian work done in a streamlined process,” said John Anderson.

The program allows ranchers to hire riparian experts to get permits in place so projects can go ahead.

“We are going in the opposite direction we need to be going, especially in the face of all the changes we are going through in the environmental world,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

WORLD PORK EXPO

Producers urged to adopt disease readiness plan

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

DES MOINES, Iowa — Preparing for something that hasn’t happened in nearly 90 years isn’t at the top of a “to do” list for most livestock producers.

However, preparing for an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease should get livestock producers’ attention because it could decimate the industry.

The U.S. National Pork Board, in a June 7 news conference at the World Pork Expo, said a foot-andmouth outbreak could cause revenue losses of $12.8 billion annually for the U.S. pork and beef industries.

In addition, the disease would cause annual losses of $4.4 billion and $2.5 billion in the corn and soybean sectors, based on research

done at Iowa State University.

Given the scale of those losses, the National Pork Board is encouraging U.S. farmers to take preventive action and be part of a readiness plan in case foot-and-mouth or another foreign livestock disease appears in America.

“It can happen. Just because it hasn’t happened here for some time in the pork business doesn’t mean we should sit on our hands,” Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey said during the news conference. “It’s so important to have a response plan, ahead of time.”

The pork board is promoting a plan called the Secure Pork Supply.

The basic idea is to enhance communication and co-operation so that pork producers, processors and federal and state agencies can agree on a response plan.

Producers who participate in the

plan will need to implement sound biosecurity, use premises identification tags and keep detailed production records. “(It) will provide business continuity to producers who enroll prior to an outbreak, which will allow them to be back in business faster than those who do not participate,” said Patrick Webb, the pork board’s director of swine health programs.

was 1952. A recent outbreak in the United Kingdom in 2001 is said to have cost that country more than US$10 billion.

The BBC has reported that illegally imported meat, often carried in luggage, could re-introduce the disease to the U.K. “We know it’s running rife in Turkey, and with international travel it’s always a risk despite high sur-

veillance,” said John Blackwell of the British Veterinary Association.

“There are strict import controls, but you can’t stop someone bringing back a ham sandwich from an exotic holiday and tossing it out the window.”

The U.S. plan is about more than

foot-and-mouth. The pork industry wants to be ready for the appearance of any foreign disease, such as African swine fever.

“The National Pork Board is working diligently on prevention, detection and response and recovery from all foreign animal diseases,” said president Terry O’Neel.

North American hog producers have learned that vigilance is critical when it comes to pig diseases.

In 2013, the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus hit hundreds of hog farms and infected millions of pigs across the U.S. It continues to infect farms in the U.S. and remains a problem in Manitoba. The virus has infected 10 hog farms in southeastern Manitoba since April 29.

Webb said the PED virus has been a hard lesson for the industry about the importance of biosecurity robert.arnason@producer.com

ATRESIA COLI

Diagnosis and treatment of colicky calf a pain in the gut ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

C

olic is a general term that describes abdominal pain.

Many horse owners are familiar with the term because abdominal pain is a common condition in horses.

However, young calves can also exhibit colic symptoms and it can be caused by a variety of conditions depending on the age of the calf.

Abdominal pain in calves typically causes them to kick at their bellies.

Other symptoms may include getting up and lying down frequently, paddling of the feet and grinding of the teeth. In about 75 percent of cases of calf colic, there may also be abdominal distension caused by gas or fluid.

If a calf that is less than one week old displays signs of colic, the most commonly diagnosed cause is a d e v e l o p m e nt a l a b n o r ma l i t y known as atresia coli.

Calves born with atresia coli have a section of their large bowel missing. As a result they are unable to defecate and will eventually die unless surgical correction is performed. These calves will often present with signs of abdominal pain and abdominal distension.

They will only have mucus and perhaps some blood in their rectum with no signs of manure production.

Atresia coli is much more common in Holstein calves but can also occur occasionally in beef calves. It is somewhat unclear if this condition is inherited.

Some researchers have speculated that very early pregnancy palpation of fetuses (which is often done in dairy cattle) may damage the vasculature of the developing colon and cause the condition.

If this is true, the use of ultrasound as a means of pregnancy

diagnosis should greatly reduce the chances of this occurring.

Surgical correction is possible if the condition is diagnosed early, but it has a poor prognosis.

Other potential causes of colic in young calves might include severe cases of scours caused by bacterial or viral infections, a twisted intestine or an infection of the abdomen (peritonitis).

Older calves with colic symptoms can be the result of other conditions such as gas colic or abomasal ulcers. Gas colic is caused by abdominal distension due to gas that often occurs in the abomasum or fourth stomach or occasionally in the intestinal tract.

This condition is usually diet related and may be caused by overconsumption of milk or by gas production from certain clostridial bacteria that can proliferate in the gut.

In some cases, this gas production can result in a displaced abomasum or some other intestinal accident that may require surgical correction.

A high percentage of calves with gas colic can be treated with conservative medical therapy and some may resolve spontaneously on their own as the gas passes through their digestive tracts.

Calves with more severe conditions that result in abomasal displacement, intussusceptions or intestinal twists can often be corrected surgically if they are presented to the veterinarian before permanent damage has been done to the intestinal or abomasal wall by the gas distension.

Much of what we know about abomasal ulcers has been described by Dr. Murray Jelinski at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

Ninety percent of abomasal ulcers cases described in his research occurred in calves aged one to eight weeks, and then declined due to a more functional rumen.

The typical case presentation would be a fast growing, strong calf with no history of disease.

The calf would suddenly become depressed, show signs of bloat (especially in the lower abdomen),

and make sloshy sounds when moving.

These calves were sometimes previously seen to be eating dirt or drinking from puddles. Most cases would die within 24 to 48 hours.

A variety of theories have been proposed to explain these cases of abomasal ulcers. Some producers report that vaccinating cows before calving and young newborns with a clostridial vaccine decreased or eliminated the problem with ulcers.

Clostridial bacteria are potentially one cause of creating an abomasal infection and might coincide with calves drinking “manure tea” from puddles or

from eating dirt.

Other theories include deficiencies in trace minerals, such as copper, and hairballs in the stomach or other rough vegetation that may cause irritations that lead to ulcers.

Dr. Jelinski’s research did not confirm any of these theories, but he did show that most ulcers originate in the part of the stomach that has the poorest blood supply.

Any factor that causes the stomach of the calf to bloat and distend might therefore damage this blood supply and create an opportunity for an ulcer to form.

An overgrowth of clostridial bacteria, overconsuming milk, the presence of hairballs or other irri-

tants all might create a situation in which the abomasum becomes distended or bloated and damages the blood supply to the stomach wall and inevitably creates an ulcer.

Colic in calves tends to be a condition that occurs sporadically in a single calf with the exception of the occasional scenario where we see an outbreak of abomasal ulcers in a herd.

A veterinarian may be able to help with medical or surgical management of some of these calves if detected early enough.

U.S. industry fears immigration policy will hike labour shortage The dairy, meat and fruit and vegetable industries rely on undocumented immigrants for labour

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

DES MOINES, Iowa — The irony is hard to ignore.

Rural Americans strongly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, par tly because of his hard-line stance on immigrants and threats to build a wall at the Mexican border.

Meanwhile, farmers and businesspeople in rural America rely heavily on immigrant labour.

In fact, many farms and companies need more foreign workers, not less.

“We have a serious worker shortage in agriculture, in general, and the pork industry is no different,” Dustin Baker, the National Pork Producers Council’s deputy director for economics and domestic production, said during an interview at the World Pork Expo held in early June in Des Moines.

“A supply of domestic workers just does not exist. In talking to our (pork) producers, they cannot find an American worker for these jobs.”

The worker shortage stretches up the value chain, from managing pigs in Iowa barns to meat cutting jobs in the world’s largest pork processing plant in Tar Heel, North Carolina.

As an example of the shortage, Iowa Select Farms, the largest pork

producer in the state, lists 114 job vacancies on its website. Almost all of the posted jobs are for a sow farm technician.

Baker said it’s difficult to know what percentage of pork industry workers are immigrants, but it is “significant.”

“On the farm it’s mostly Hispanic labour. In the packing facilities it’s been a mix of Hispanic and Southeast Asian labourers.”

The dairy sector does have data on immigrant labour. In 2015, the National Milk Producers Federation released the results of a dairy farm survey: • Fifty-one percent of all dairy labourers in the United States are immigrants.

• Farms that employ immigrants produce 80 percent of America’s milk.

• A complete loss of immigrant labour would cause one in six dairy farms to close and cost the U.S. $32 billion in lost economic output.

Baker said the labour shortage in dairy and the fruit and vegetable industries garners most of the attention in Washington, but the pork sector also has challenges.

“Labour is quickly becoming a hot topic for us, particularly after the election.”

John Weber, NPPC past-president and a hog producer in western

Iowa, said the pork industry also relies on immigrants for jobs closely related to the sector, such as construction of hog barns.

Pork producers are so dependent on foreign workers that the NPPC is lobbying federal politicians on behalf of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. “The system should contain workable solutions that allow undocumented workers already in the United States to continue working,” the NPPC says on its website.

Hog farmers and the entire agriculture sector do have a powerful ally in Washington — U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue — who might persuade the White House to adopt more progressive policies on immigration.

“In order for us to have the most affordable food supply in the world, we have to have a viable workforce,” said Baker, who works out of the NPCC office in Washington.

“Secretary Perdue, he understands the need to have a viable workforce.”

Purdue may get it, but in 2016 Trump promised to crack down and kick many of the 11 million undocumented immigrants out of the U.S. Of those undocumented immigrants, the Pew Research Centre says eight million are part of the workforce.

LACK OF LABOUR IN CANADA’S RED MEAT INDUSTRY In December 2016, the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) issued a report on labour shortages in the beef and pork sectors. They found: • In 2014, the beef industry was unable to fill 3,500 jobs because of a lack of domestic workers. The beef workforce was about 41,000 in 2014.

• The pork sector had 800 vacant jobs. It employed 14,000 workers in 2014.

• By 2025, mostly because of retirements, the labour shortage in Canada’s red meat sector is expected to reach 15,500 workers.

Source: CAHRC

Luckily for those people and the U.S. agriculture industry, the Trump administration has focused on other priorities during its first five months in office.

Baker said it’s unlikely that immigration reform is around the corner because other issues, such as health care and tax reform, are consuming all the oxygen in Washington. robert.arnason@producer.com

SUCCESSION PLANNING

Honest discussions with children vital to farm transition MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

O

lder farmers should not assume that their children are interested in taking over the enterprise, even when they are engaged in its operation.

The topic of who will carry on the farm is complicated and full of family dynamics, and for that reason family members often do not make their true wishes clear.

The sooner that the family can have open and honest conversations about each member’s hopes for the future, the more likely it will be that a succession plan can be developed to successfully meet people’s desires and maintain family harmony.

Succession wave coming Agriculture Canada has for years been telling us that this decade, with a large proportion of farmers arriving at their senior years, would be marked by the largest transfer of farm assets in Canadian history.

At one time it was assumed that these assets, estimated in the many tens of billions of dollars, would be transferred from one generation to the next.

Having had several years to anticipate such a change, tax and financial planners have had the opportunity to develop many strategies to pass on family farms, including using the capital gains deduction (currently capped at $1 million for 2017) for both spouses, transferring assets to a trust or family corporation or creating a partnership to absorb the assets.

How the assets are structured, the number of children involved and the goals and objectives of all participants will determine the most efficient route to take.

The mechanics of the transfer can be complicated, but with the right expertise they are all relatively manageable.

An emerging and perhaps bigger challenge to the transfer has been the intergenerational differences and interests of the various family members.

Family farm children must want to continue with the business, but discussions should take place with them long before a decision is made on how best to transfer the assets.

Make no assumptions

the farm along with their fathers and mothers for years, but it is rapidly becoming evident, in many cases, that only one child or perhaps none of them are interested in the family business.

Because it is such a difficult subject, many children are not forthcoming with their parents about their intent to abandon farming.

Secretly, however, they are interested in the liquidation of assets or a pre-determined monthly cash flow from rental revenue.

Unfortunately, because this conversation often happens too far down the road, it is not unusual to see a family break up with siblings never speaking to each other again over the succession planning of the farm assets.

To ensure a financially stable retirement and avoid sibling discontent, discussions with all the children are essential in forming a succession plan. | GETTY PHOTO

be ongoing and evolve as intentions and individual capabilities become clear.

It is probably wise to enter these talks with an open mind to various options.

These are probably some of the most difficult and important decisions for farm families and should involve a lawyer experienced in such matters, along with a farm tax specialist and financial planner to ensure you are aware of all your options, including liquidation and distribution of the assets if that is in the best interest of keeping the family whole.

If this resonates with your personal situation, we suggest you initiate those open and honest con-

Nobody covers farming better or in more detail than The Western Producer. We regularly post features, recipes, stories about machinery, livestock and agronomy, and reader contests. It’s a great place to check out what’s new and to talk to us about what’s happening where you are.

Come check us out. In print and online, if it’s farming, it’s here.

Twenty million people in Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria and Yemen are facing famine.

Canadian Foodgrains Bank is responding. Since January, we have provided $2.5 million of help for over 70,000 people.

But more needs to be done. Until June 30, the Canadian government will offer a 1:1 match on EVERY gift given toward famine relief in places we are working such as South Sudan, Nigeria and Somalia.

You can help! To make a donation, go to www.foodgrainsbank.ca and click on our Famine Appeal link. You can also call and donate at 1-800-665-0377 or mail your gift to Box 767, Winnipeg, MB R3C 2L4.

Thanks for your support!

All donations are also eligible for our regular matching program of up to 4:1 from the Canadian government.
