Harvesting dry grain can evaporate profits Some farmers ‘rewet’ crop before selling it, but it’s tricky — and illegal SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Predominantly dry conditions across most of Western Canada means that much of this year’s grain and oilseed crop will come off dry. That’s good news for growers. However, excessively dry conditions can reduce the value of grain, especially if it comes off the field at extremely low moisture levels.

Coalition against tax change growing

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 14, 2017

LIGHTS, ACTION ... CAMERA

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

A wave of outrage and opposition is building in the fight against the federal government’s attempt to impose major tax changes on farmers and other small businesses, says an organizer of a coalition objecting to the changes. “This coalition is really gaining momentum,” said Marilyn BraunPollon, who specializes in farm and agricultural issues for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. “We’re hoping that the government will listen…. Take the proposals off the table, and then why don’t you launch meaningful consultations with the business community to address any failings in the tax policy without unfairly targeting independent business.” The Coalition for Small Business Tax Fairness had 35 groups as of Aug. 31, including many major agriculture organizations such as the Canadian Association of Farm Advisors, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and the Canadian Pork Council. However, the coalition had grown to 55 groups by Sept. 8. Braun-Pollon said the coalition is hoping people sign an online petition, make individual appeals to politicians and ask professionals to analyze their own situation. “Call your MP. Call your accountant,” she said. MPs have already been hearing lots about the proposed changes. The issue was a major item at the Liberal party’s caucus retreat in the first week of September in Kelowna, B.C., and at the Conservative party’s gathering in Winnipeg. Finance Minister Bill Morneau and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau heard concerns from Liberal MPs about the growing outrage against the proposals, which the government has promoted as an attempt to close tax dodges but which many small business people fear could devastate their livelihoods. Conservative MPs have eagerly embraced the issue as a key difference between their approach and the Liberal outlook on business. Braun-Pollon said farmers are especially vulnerable to the changes because of the major role that capital gains tax treatment plays on farms, which have a huge component of their assets in land and which need to function as multigeneration businesses. Farmers and other businesspeople are confused by how the changes could affect them, alarmed by the rushed nature of the comment period, which ends Oct. 2, and upset at the perceived insults from the government aimed at them. “To be painted as tax cheats by the federal government, simply for accessing tax tools that have been encouraged for use for decades, it’s very offensive,” said Braun-Pollon. ed.white@producer.com

Clubroot shows up in Sask. The canola disease has been found in the province before now, but never in plants in a farmer’s field BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bernie McClean is considering posting no hunting signs on his farm near Glaslyn, Sask., in the wake of a clubroot discovery in his crop district. “I’m tempted to post everything from corner to corner. I don’t want a whole bunch of extra traffic on my land,” he said. “I don’t mean to be alarming, but this is my livelihood.” That is how one farmer is feeling after news broke that a field in northwestern Saskatchewan is heavily infested with the devastating soil-borne canola disease. The Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission is advising growers in crop district 9B to be extra vigilant in scouting for the disease. This is not the first time clubroot has been found in the province. It was first detected in a soil sample from one of 30 randomly selected fields in the province’s 2008 clubroot survey. As well, disease galls were found

on the roots of plants in two Cargill research plots in 2011 in the rural municipalities of St. Louis and Aberdeen. Another positive soil sample was found in the RM of Biggar in 2012.

Canola has been a lucrative crop for many producers, and some guys have been pushing the limits as far as rotations. BERNIE MCCLEAN SASKCANOLA DIRECTOR

A s a S a s k C a n o l a d i r e c t o r, McClean has been in many meetings where clubroot has been discussed, so he wasn’t too surprised by the province’s first discovery of infected plants in a farmer’s field. “I expected it sooner,” he said. “Canola has been a lucrative crop for many producers, and some guys have been pushing the limits as far as rotations.” He was once guilty of pushing rotations but is now waiting a mini-

mum of three years between canola crops, which is one of the main recommendations for preventing the spread of clubroot. Others include growing resistant varieties, minimizing soil movement between fields and controlling volunteer canola and other weeds of the canola family such as stinkweed, shepherds purse and wild mustard. McClean is used to picking varieties best suited to his farm, but he is definitely going to consider growing clubroot resistant varieties in the future because he would be surprised if the clubroot infection is confined to one field in the district. Clubroot was first detected in a field near Edmonton in 2003. It has since been found in more than 1,000 fields in Alberta. The Canola Council of Canada advises producers to scout their fields, digging up plants in all areas of a field that show premature ripening and checking a few random plants at field entrances for galls on the roots. Before or during swathing is the best time to scout.

Errin Willenborg, research manager with SaskCanola, said the Saskatchewan farmer whose field was infected wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. “It’s our understanding that the grower was following management practices similar to others in the area,” she said. Barb Ziesman, plant disease specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said the province, SaskCanola and the canola council have developed a clubroot management plan to help the grower mitigate the spread of the disease on his farm and to protect his neighbours. “We are working with that producer,” she said. Ziesman said early detection gives producers the opportunity to manage the disease and prevent outbreaks. Saskatchewan Agriculture will be conducting its annual canola disease survey this fall. Fields are randomly selected. If the farmer gives permission, soil at the entrance of the field will be collected and tested for clubroot spores. sean.pratt@producer.com

HARVESTING DRY GRAIN » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Kenneth Hellevang, an extension agricultural engineer at North Dakota State University, says producers stand to lose a significant portion of their farm income by harvesting and marketing grain that is below the socalled “market moisture” level. “The main thing that a farmer faces with selling grain at moisture content below (market moisture) … is that they have fewer pounds of grain to sell,” said Hellevang. “When we market or measure grain, we measure based on weight … so if we’re marketing grain at a lower moisture content, we’re going to have fewer pounds to sell. “When we start getting considerably below market moisture and we’re harvesting and selling (wheat) at nine or 10 percent moisture instead of 14 percent, for example, we are losing a significant amount of potential weight.” Hellevang used wheat as an example. At 14 percent moisture content, a bushel of wheat weighs 60 pounds and has 86 percent dry matter. When a truckload of wheat is delivered to an elevator, the contents of the truck are weighed and the net weight is divided by 60 to determine the number of bushels. However, if the moisture content of the grain being delivered is below market moisture, then the load contains less water. If contents of that truck were hydrated and the moisture content increased to 14 percent, the farmer would have more grain to sell, by volume and by weight. Calculating the potential losses that result from selling extra dry grain can be difficult. However, in general, wheat growers can expect to forfeit approximately one percent of their income potential for every one percent they are under market moisture levels. In other words, wheat that is harvested and marketed at 10 percent rather than 14 percent will be sold at a discount of roughly four percent. Those losses could be significant when applied to a wheat harvest of 100,000 tonnes. Hellevang said concerns about marketing low moisture grain at less than its optimal value often arise when conditions at harvest time are hot and dry. Some observers have suggested that grain companies should buy grain on a dry matter basis, which would ensure growers receive optimal value for their deliveries, regardless of the moisture content. However, dry grain is also more prone to mechanical damage and cracking. So, from a grain company’s perspective, buying significant quantities of extremely dry grain on a dry matter basis could represent a significant financial risk. Hellevang said growers who are hoping to minimize financial losses associated with selling extra dry grain have a few options. For starters, they should consider harvesting at night or during early morning hours, when temperatures are lower and moisture levels in unharvested grain are higher. Grain that is taken off a few percentage points above dry can be blended with grain that is below dry in hopes of reaching a more acceptable equilibrium. Some growers have attempted to

boost grain moisture levels by adding water during the binning process, which is known as rewetting. However, the results of this practice can be less than rewarding. For starters, rewetting grain after it has been harvested is illegal in Canada and the United States. Canadian law allows for massive finesandjailtermsforadulterationof food products. Recent cases, such as MucciFarmsmislabellingtomatoes, have shown a shift from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency working with regulatory contraveners for improvements to prosecuting them. Somegrowersrewetgrain,butthose whotryshouldbeawareoftherisks. Extra dry grain will absorb moisture, but the rate at which moisture is absorbed varies depending on the type of grain, the moisture content of the grain being altered, the temperature of the grain and even the variety. Extreme care must be taken to add the moisture evenly, consistently and at the proper levels. Simply turning on the garden hose as the truck box is emptied is risky and is unlikely to generate positive results. Adding water could result in pockets of damp grain within an otherwise dry grain mass, contributing to spoilage or mould. Calculating the amount of water to be added also requires careful calculation and sophistication, Hellevang warned. Even the process of adding moisture to binned grain through aeration fans can have disastrous consequences. When a bin of harvested wheat is “hydrated” using aeration, the grain inside the bin swells as it absorbs moisture. This swelling can apply significant pressure to the bin’s structure, including corrugated bin walls, hopper bottoms and bolt holes. It is not sufficient to leave some room in the bin, allowing for the grain to expand as moisture is added, Hellevang said. In an enclosed space, the entire grain mass may not be able to expand into the space that’s available. Instead, it will apply downward, upward and outward pressure on the bin, resulting in buckling, stretching or ripping. The message for growers? Think twice before altering the moisture content of their grain. The only legal and safe way to a d j u s t m o i s t u re c o n t e n t i s through blending or by allowing the moisture content to increase naturally in the field. Daryl Beswitherick, program manager at the Canadian Grain Commission, said it is likely that a greater proportion of this year’s crop will come off dry or below market moisture. That raises concerns that more growers will try to add moisture before marketing. “We may see an increased number of producers using that practice to … increase the weight of their grain but it’s not a practice that we want to see done,” he said. Farmers who have sophisticated grain handling and conditioning systems may be able to add moisture without being detected, he said. However, at the end of the day, adding moisture to grain is against the law. “If they’re adding moisture, it is illegal to do that,” Beswitherick said. “We do not want to see water added to grain.” brian.cross@producer.com

NEW VARIETIES RESCUE WHEAT CROP » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I’ve got shareholders in that Regina area, where they got less than two inches of rain, they’re combining 60 to 70 bushels of wheat when they were expecting 40,” said Rod Merryweather, chief executive officer of FP Genetics, a pedigreed seed supplier. The story is similar in other parts of the province. Brent Flaten, who helps compile the provincial crop report for Saskatchewan Agriculture, said spring wheat yields are highly variable but also higher than predicted. “(There are) quite a few areas in the south where there is more yield than what they expected, considering the lack of rainfall,” he said. “On a provincial basis it might be average … but there are definitely some wrecks out there.” The five year yield average for spring wheat in Saskatchewan is around 42 bu. per acre. A number of agronomists and growers have attributed the better than expected yields to excellent soil moisture in the spring. Richard Cuthbert, an Agriculture Canada wheat breeder in Saskatchewan, figures that better wheat varieties also played a significant role in preserving yields. “How much did it (genetics)

play this year, with such water limited situation? I’d be fairly comfortable saying at least half,” he said. “I would be comfortable saying at least half came from genetics.” Field experiments at Swift Current, Sask., and other Agriculture Canada research centres show that the latest wheat varieties are more tolerant of drought than older varieties such as Katepwa. AAC Brandon, AAC Viewfield, which will come to market in 2018, and AAC Carberry all performed well this year in the arid conditions. “They’ve shocked me because they are semi-dwarf varieties (with smaller roots),” Cuthbert said. “(They’ve) either found water in the ground or held onto (the) water. A breeder would say that’s water use efficiency…. A very preliminary analysis of some of the new lines, like AAC Viewfield in particular, it’s looking like it’s around 17 percent higher yielding than Katepwa this year in a very water limited situation.” The additional spring wheat production in Saskatchewan may be substantial, assuming that new and popular varieties such as AAC Brandon are yielding 15 percent m o re b e c a u s e o f i m p rov e d drought tolerance: • Saskatchewan produced an

average 9.14 million tonnes of spring wheat from 2012-16. • If yields were 15 percent lower, 1.37 million tonnes of spring wheat would be missing from the 2017 crop. • The 1.37 million tonnes is equivalent to 50.376 million bushels. • At a selling price of $6 to $6.50 per bu., that represents $302 to $327 million in value to farmers.

didn’t target drought tolerance and water use efficiency in spring wheat. Instead, it became a side benefit of a different breeding strategy. It’s well known that wheat yields are inversely related to lower protein. Raise the yield in a new variety and protein usually declines. O v e r t h e l a s t f e w d e c a d e s, DePauw and his colleagues deliberately selected spring wheat varieties that yielded more but maintained the same protein. To achieve that trick, the plants had to become more efficient at acquiring water and nutrients, storing moisture and moving the water and nutrients to the seed. “What we have (now) is plants that have much better water use efficiency and better nitrogen use efficiency,” DePauw said. “So what we were doing (was) building a better factory.” Another factor could be improved waxiness on wheat plant leaves through breeding, which allows the crop to retain more moisture. As well, varieties were selected that offer stable yields in a wide range of conditions from hot and dry to cool and wet. “The Prairies are huge … and we really want varieties that a farmer in Swift Current can pick and grow and a farmer in the Red River Valley can grow,” said Cuthbert. The superior water efficiency in

the newest wheat lines suggests that farmer check-off contributions and government support for wheat breeding are worth the investment. The $300 to $325 million in additional spring wheat production is a rough estimate, but that sort of payoff is possible when farmers support research. “Some years it may not seem like the sexiest funding (for wheat breeding),” Cuthbert said. “It (the return on investment) comes ultimately from sustained funding from producers.” DePauw added that the surprising yields of 2017 illustrate why continuous research is critical for Canadian agriculture. “You can’t have breeding programs starting up and shutting down,” he said. “There has to be this long-term commitment and focus to wheat development and it would be preferable if it was de-linked to the political process.” robert.arnason@producer.com

What if the U.S. pulls out of NAFTA? BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

If the U.S. pulled out of NAFTA, what would happen to Canada, the United States and Mexico’s threeway trade in beef and pork? That’s something farmers and the food industries in the three nations are trying to figure out, now that U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his threats to rip up the North American Free Trade Agreement, just as negotiators were getting down to the work of reforming the deal. It’s a confusing situation that has no clear answers with trade law experts debating how much power Trump has to unilaterally break the deal without congressional approval and how much power Congress has to determine tariff rates and other matters that would apply if Trump did attempt to kill NAFTA. “They are going to have legal issues with that,” said John Masswohl, director of government and international relations with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. Martin Rice, acting executive director of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, agreed. “There are a lot of questions about whether the president can just take them out of a trade deal,” said Rice

after returning from a visit to Mexico and hearing much debate there. “Does Congress have to approve returning to former tariffs?” It’s a sticky situation for Canadian farmers, who rely on the U.S. market for a significant proportion of their sales. For pork, U.S. tariffs might not be a big deal if the U.S. left NAFTA because Canada and the U.S. have essentially no tariffs. But it’s different for beef with each country having considerable tariffs for “most favoured nations” with which they don’t have trade deals. Canada imposes 26.5 percent on foreign MFN beef imports that don’t have a set tariff-free limit, and each country might impose that on the other’s beef if NAFTA died. If those ended up being imposed it would muck up the integrated North American market. “We’d be competing for the little bit of (World Trade Organizationprovided tariff-free access) that’s left over,” said Masswohl. How about Canada-Mexico beef trade? It could probably still function as is, if NAFTA survives, and it’s not insignificant with about $100 million from Canada being shipped to Mexico last year. However, would Canada pick up U.S. sales to Mexico that would be

displaced by U.S. quitting NAFTA? Rice said it might not be that great because Mexico has many trade deals around the world and it has access to most of the world market to meet its needs. Whether Trump’s threats should be taken seriously is hotly debated in trade circles. On the one hand, Trump has bragged in the past about his negotiating prowess, so he might just be loudly positioning the U.S. to be the driving force behind the negotiations and actually just be looking for the “tweaks” he mentioned a few months ago. On the other hand, he ripped up the Trans-Pacific Partnership the day after he took office, so he’s not afraid to act boldly. “It’s a threat that people need to take seriously,” said Masswohl. Rice said there’s tremendous uncertainty over not only Trump’s threat to pull the U.S. out of NAFTA, but also about Mexico’s willingness to sign a deal with any concessions after facing the harsh words of Trump. “It’s got to be win-win-win,” said Rice. “You can’t have one side having to say, ‘we got crushed.’ That’s just not a viable option for most countries.” ed.white@producer.com

Growing market in China gives Canadian oat sector hope DEMAND FOR OATS WANING Oats' future as a bulk-traded crop is challenged by the steady decline of its demand base. Feed use, once an important subsidiary market, has been steadily declining for two decades. Increasingly, the crop is being contracted.

China has gone from importing about 20,000 tonnes per year to 200,000 in the last five years, and Str ychar expects that to double again in the next three years. China’s health conscious middle class sees oats, in products such as drinks and noodles, as a tasty healthly food. However, because of different tariff levels, most of the oats going to China come from Australia. Australia has a free trade agreement with China. Strychar thinks Chinese demand could save the Canadian acreage base from shrinking still further, but the tariff differential needs to be fixed. The Prairie Oat Growers Association has been working on the issue with the federal government, but progress with the Chinese is always slow. “It’s been 18 to 20 months for three years now,” Strychar said about the projections of how long it will take to give Canadian oats equal treatment in China.

00/01

North American demand for feed oats is steadily falling. Chinese demand for food-grade oats is steadily rising. The question is whether Canada can access the market in China soon enough to prevent the final collapse of the oat empire on the Canadian Prairies. That’s something Oatinsight analyst Randy Strychar is pondering as he looks at weak prospects for oat prices this winter and poor prospects for oats acres next spring. “A lot of oats traders don’t understand that a lot of guys make their acreage decisions in the fall,” Strychar said about today’s poor oat prices. “A spring rally of oats versus wheat might not help.” The present price weakness has not been caused by demand factors, Strychar said. It is the result of bigger than expected oat production this summer, at least according to Statistics Canada’s forecast in the August crop production report.

Feedgrain consumption of oats as a feedgrain has been declining for a long time, although it increased in the last year. That increase appears to be the result of weather damaged oats being threshed in the spring and not being good enough for the milling or high-value horse feed markets. Strychar expects to see horse feed use continue to decline, weakening the overall demand base for North American oats. Oats are currently worth about 42 percent of spring wheat bushel values, and that’s not enough to encourage oats seeded acres next year. “You need to be up around 50 percent in order to buy any acres,” said Strychar. The present spread will make farmers favour spring wheat over oats, and if they cut acreage 10 to 15 percent next year, “you’ve got some major problems.” Strychar is frustrated that booming Chinese oat demand is not being reflected in North American prices because of Chinese tariffs that keep Canadian oats out of the country.

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australia has cut its forecast for 2017-18 wheat production by nearly 10 percent to an eight-year low, as dry weather cuts yields across the country’s largest producing regions. With harvesting set to begin in coming months, wheat production is expected at 21.64 million tonnes, the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) said Sept. 12, down from a March forecast of 23.98 million tonnes. An August U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast pegged Australia’s crop at 23.5 million tonnes. It would represent a one-third decline from 2016-17, when production of Australia’s largest rural export hit a record 32.64 million tonnes. ABARES also said canola production during the 2017-18 season will total 2.75 million tonnes, down from a previous estimate of 3.69 million tonnes. The revised forecast by the world’s fourth-largest wheat exporter may ignite fresh concerns about global supplies of high quality wheat, with benchmark prices hitting a two-year high in July despite abundant stocks of lower quality grain. Prices have since fallen, weighed down by a record large harvest in Russia. Lower output will also affect Australia’s economy. The agricultural sector grew 23 percent last year, contributing nearly a third of gross domestic product growth during the 2016-17 financial year. Many of Australia’s wheat producing regions received less than half of average rainfall between June 1 and Aug. 31, official data showed, although some recent timely rains averted bigger losses. Frost has also plagued the east coast in recent weeks, with production in New South Wales and Queensland set to fall 45 percent from last year, ABARES said. Less wheat will help future earnings for GrainCorp, Australia’s largest listed bulk grain handler, which has near dominance across the east coast.

BIODIESEL IMPORTS

New U.S. duties on biodiesel will create void If the U.S. plans to fill the gap created by slamming the door on Argentina and Indonesia, it may need Canadian canola BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A biodiesel dispute involving the United States and other countries could end up boosting demand for Canadian canola oil, depending on how it plays out, says an analyst. The U.S. Commerce Department has issued preliminary countervailing duties against biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia. Preliminary determinations from the companion antidumping investigation are expected in October. The countervailing duties amount to 50 to 64 percent on imports from Argentina and 41 to 68 percent on biodiesel from Indonesia. “The commerce department has recognized what this industry has known all along, that foreign biodiesel producers have benefited from massive subsidies that have severely injured U.S. biodiesel producers,” Doug Whitehead, chief operating officer of the U.S. National Biodiesel Board, said in a news release. The U.S. imported 1.68 billion litres of biodiesel from Argentina in 2016 and another 386 million litres from Indonesia. Combined, that is a 464 percent increase from 2014 levels. Those imports have taken 18.3 percent of market share away from

Canadian canola oil might see increased demand if American biodiesel makers backfill reduced imports. | REUTERS PHOTO U.S. manufacturers. Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist with INTL FCStone, said the preliminary duties have shut down imports from those two countries. The big question is who is going to fill the void? If U.S. biodiesel manufacturers filled it, they would need to find alternative feedstock supplies. “We don’t have enough soy oil to meet the (new) demand,” he said. “That would suggest that we will

need canola oil if in fact we are forced to produce all the biodiesel here.” NBB spokesperson Rosemarie Calabro Tully doesn’t believe imports will come to a grinding halt despite the punitive duties. However, if it does result in increased demand for U.S. biodiesel, that shouldn’t be a problem. There is 15.9 billion litres of biodiesel production capacity in the U.S. market but only about 7.6 billion litres of actual annual production.

“There is massive underutilization of existing plants that could be brought online,” she said. Many plants are running at about t w o - t h i rd s o f t h e i r c a p a c i t y because of competition from lowpriced imported product, said Calabro Tully. Suderman said the United States may have a lot of capacity on paper, but there is considerable debate about how much of that could be brought online because some of it is from outdated or

mothballed facilities. He believes some of the additional demand will be filled by imported biodiesel from the European Union. In 2013, the EU imposed antidumping tariffs of 22 to 25.7 percent on biodiesel imports from Argentina, forcing exporters to find new markets in the U.S. Last year the World Trade Organization ruled those duties were illegal. There are rumours the tariffs will be reduced later this month. Suderman believes that will result in the increased movement of Argentine biodiesel to the EU and perhaps some displaced product from the EU finding its way to the U.S. That would eliminate some but not all of the potential new demand for soy and canola oil. “There is a lot of question marks in the industry where nobody knows how this (new demand) is going to get filled,” he said. “Nobody knows for sure. That’s why the market hasn’t just exploded.” The NBB expects the commerce department will make its final determinations later this year or in early 2018. A determination by the International Trade Commission will follow. sean.pratt@producer.com

ARCTIC PORT

Feds to help transfer ownership, restore Churchill rail service BY DAVE SIMS COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

The federal government says it’s prepared to restore rail service to Churchill, Man. The rail line closed this spring after flooding damaged several sections of the route to the northern Manitoba community and port. The owner of the line, OmniTrax, said repairs would cost as much as US$60 million and it wasn’t prepared to pay without government assistance. Residents of Churchill say the line is a public utility and has to be repaired before winter arrives. Some residents even travelled to Winnipeg to hold protests over the issue. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had previously said the Denverbased company had legal obligations to restore service to the community. However, the government now says it is prepared to “facilitate discussion for the transfer of the rail line to a new owner and will work with that new owner to restore rail service.” At least two groups comprising northern Manitoba First Nations have expressed interest in taking over the line. T h e Ma n i t o b a g ov e r n m e nt recently said it would be willing to pay as much as C$500 million over 10 years to fix and maintain service. However, it wasn’t initially clear how much of that money would be new spending.

In the release, Ottawa said it’s prepared to act quickly to provide such support, provided that: • The assets are transferred at a reasonable price taking into account OmniTrax Inc.’s obligations.

• The new owner has support from First Nations and other communities along the route. • The new owner has a viable business plan to operate the rail line safely, reliably and cost-effectively.

MEAT EXPORTS

Trump’s tiff with South Korea may benefit Canada President threatens to tear up trade deal with South Korea, which gives American beef and pork preferred treatment BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canada, struggling to compete in the South Korean meat market behind the United States and Australia, could take a leap forward if U.S. President Donald Trump carries through on threats to tear up the U.S.-South Korea free trade deal. Trump thinks the five-year old agreement is unfair to the United States because the Asian country’s trade surplus with the U.S. has doubled since it was signed. “If the U.S. rips up its free trade agreement with South Korea, they’ll be back up at 40 percent (tariff on beef sales),” said John Masswohl, the government and international relations specialist at the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “If it happened today, we’d go from being eight percent behind them to being eight percent ahead of them.” Similarly for U.S. pork exports, if the U.S. ended its trade deal with South Korea, it would mean Canada would have lower tariffs and better access to that market than the Americans. “Anything that makes competitors disadvantaged has a positive effect for us,” said Cesar Urias, Canadian Pork International’s international trade expert. Canada’s weaker position in South Korea for beef and pork compared to the U.S., Australia and European Union is due to South Korea signing free trade deals with those countries first. South Korea agreed with all the

CANADIAN BEEF TARIFF

countries it has agreements with to gradually reduce high tariffs on beef imports, but because their deals came into force years before Canada’s, the Americans and Australians are seeing reductions first. Currently, Canada, which signed its deal with South korea in 2015, pays eight percent more in tariffs on beef compared to the U.S., a spread that is expected to continue until almost 2029. If the U.S. leaves the free trade deal, it would immediately be disadvantaged, and that disadvantage would steadily grow if U.S. beef faces South Korea’s Most Favoured Nation tariff rate. Canadian beef currently pays a 32 percent tariff, while U.S. beef pays 24 percent. Australian beef pays 29.3 percent. Those tariffs are scheduled to be reduced in stages until they disappear. Tariffs are less steep for pork, with Canada’s trade deal reducing them to an average of less than 10 percent in 2017 from 21 percent in 2015, with total elimination scheduled for 2027. Some categories of pork already enter South Korea tarifffree. That’s been a relief for the Canadian industry, which had been struggling in the market because of the head start the U.S. and European Union had with their trade deals. “We had a good market share … before, but more and more the U.S. and Europe took part of that share,” said Urias. “We had to wait years to be competitive (again) and become one of the preferred suppliers of pork.”

U.S. BEEF TARIFF

If the U.S. pulls out of its trade deal with South Korea, American pork would face a massive disadvantage. Urias has trouble believing that Trump would be able end the deal without facing a wall of opposition from the U.S. pork industry. Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance acting executive director Martin Rice said a failure of the U.S.South Korea deal would not necessarily create a windfall for Canadian meat. Market access gains in South Korea might be offset by lower North American prices. Pork that would have gone from the U.S. to South Korea would stay in North America, or would have to find markets somewhere else, and that would likely reduce the North American price. “It could end up as a wash, really,” said Rice. ed.white@producer.com

CANADA’S PORK EXPORTS TO SOUTH KOREA Bilateral free trade deals make a difference. Canada’s pork shipments to South Korea took a hit following the signing of trade agreements between the Asian country and the United States and Chile. By 2014 their pork entered South Korea with no duties. Canada implemented a free trade agreement with South Korea in 2015 but duties on pork will not be eliminated until 2019. 2008

CURRENCY EXPECTATIONS

Loonie is flying high but will it rise much higher? MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

he Canadian crop market digested several things last week, including a rapidly rising loonie and rapid harvest progress. Rain expected this week across the Prairies should give many farmers a chance to take a breather after going all out for the previous few weeks. The rapid advance of the harvest in mostly dry conditions put downward pressure on markets, espe-

cially as word trickled in that yields in some areas were coming in better than expected. And then the Bank of Canada decided not to hold off on interest rates until October as many expected, but to lift its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to one percent. The Canadian economy is performing well, growing faster than other countries in the G7, and appears to no longer need the stimulus of lower rates that the bank brought in to counter the negative effect of weak crude prices and oil industry activity. The August jobs report that was also released last week showed stronger than expected hiring, although mostly in part-time work.

The strong economic and jobs reports had market watchers speculating that the central bank might increase rates by another 25 points at its December meeting. That put Canadian bond returns above their American counterparts and put upward pressure on the Canadian dollar, which climbed above US82 cents, up 12 percent since May and the highest level since the spring of 2015. Could the dollar go higher? Scotia Bank forecasts that the loonie will average US85 cents in the first half of 2018. That would be bad news for Canada’s crop and livestock producers because a rising loonie weakens on-farm returns. However, a Reuters poll of more

At 82 cents American, the Canadian dollar is the highest since spring 2015

than 40 foreign exchange strategists this week shows a less aggressive tone. The median forecast of the poll showed the loonie backing off recent highs to about 80.5 cents by the end of the current year. The loonie’s rising value this summer has been also affected by weakness in the U.S. dollar. It has drifted down against most currencies as early optimism about the U.S. President Donald Trump administration’s promises of tax reform and infrastructure spending has bogged down. After raising rates earlier this year, many analysts think the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve, might be taking a more cautious approach because American economic growth could be hurt by recent hurricanes. However, there is always the potential for it to raise its interest

rate again this year, which would put momentum back in the U.S. dollar’s court. Also, if the North American Free Trade Agreement renegotiations start to go badly for Canada, that would also deflate the loonie. As well, if the overheated housing sectors in Canada’s largest cities turn into a bust, it would stop the Bank of Canada’s rate increases and send the loonie back down. We wish we could make clear and simple forecasts about the loonie’s direction, but there are too many unknown factors. However, it would likely be safe to say that the average value of the loonie in the 2017-18 crop year will be higher than it was in 2016-17.

PRAIRIE OUTPUT

Drought sends mustard production in steep decline Statistics Canada pegged output at 129,500 tonnes, down 45 percent as yield and acreage drop BY COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

Mustard production projected by Statistics Canada shows a decline of almost 50 percent from a year ago. However, Richard Marleau, chair of the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission, said the numbers could have been far worse. Mustard is grown mainly in southern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta, two areas hit hardest by drought. That accounts for most of the steep production decline, Marleau said. However, there are regions where farmers managed to turn things around and pull in a decent crop, he added. “Had the heat persisted through the latter half of July, it would have exacerbated things, but the heat kind of backed off in the second half of July, which allowed the crops to fill,” he said. Statistics Canada forecast Saskatchewan’s mustard production at 90,800 tonnes this year, down from 162,300 tonnes in 2016, a decline of 44 percent. Saskatchewan produces about 70 percent of Canadian mustard. Canadian mustard production is estimated to come in at 129,500

A smaller crop this year and low carry over stocks could send mustard prices up. | FILE PHOTO tonnes, down from 235,600 tonnes a year ago, which is a decline of 45 percent year-to-year. Statistics Canada estimated

Alberta production at 38,700 tonnes, a decline of 47 percent from 73,300 in 2016. The survey was carried out at the end of July.

Marleau, who farms near Aneroid, Sask., said that according to his rough calculations, mustard stocks-to-use ratio at the end of the

2017-18 crop year could drop to about 20 percent. He said a common opinion in the trade was for a good supply of mustard carryover based on the spot bids, but this smaller new crop will likely be reflected in future bids. “But I imagine they (prices) will start creeping upwards,” he said, especially if the dryness persists into next year. In addition to the drought in key mustard-growing areas, seeded acreage this spring was down 23 percent. “Forward contract prices weren’t that impressive this spring from a grower’s standpoint,” Marleau said. “The market signal there was (to) not expand production. That was pretty evident based upon the bids and the production contract prices.” Statistics Canada did not break out mustard production by type, but Marleau said 80 percent is typically yellow mustard with the remainder split between brown and oriental with brown taking the larger share of that. Marleau expressed concerns for next year because of low soil moisture reserves. While it is too early to write off 2018, he said 200 millimetres will be needed in mustard growing areas next year if farmers are to see a production rebound.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE LOWER

COWS DOWN

The Canfax weighted fed steer average was $133.58 per hundredweight, down about $4. Heifers averaged $132.74. Dressed sales were $224-$225 delivered, generally $7-$8.50 per cwt. lower than the previous week. All three federally inspected Alberta packers procured cattle and were scheduling for two to three week delivery. Canadian steer carcasses for the week ending Sept. 2 fell one pound to 906 lb. They were 15 lb. lighter than last year. Feedlot inventories were generally current, and dressing percentages are reported around the standard steer benchmarks of 60 percent and heifers at 59.5 percent. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to Sept. 2 fell four percent to 41,141 head. We e k l y e x p o r t s t o A u g . 2 6 rebounded 40 percent to 5,939 head. For the year they are up eight percent at 205,346 head. Alberta weekly fed prices have been tracking the 2016 and fiveyear price trend for the past 10 weeks. Annual lows usually occur between mid-September and midOctober. Large feeder placements in the first half of this year will maintain an adequate marketready supply, so annual lows this year could occur in mid to late October. In the United States, a week-long standoff broke late in the week with a few dressed sales in the north steady to $3 higher at US$168 delivered. Limited live trade in the north and south was at $105, up about 50 cents.

Volumes seasonally increased, but were relatively modest even with dry conditions. D1, D2 cows ranged $82-$98 to average $89.62 per cwt., down $5.88. D3 cows ranged $78-$87 to average $82. Rail grade cows ranged $178-$183. Slaughter bulls averaged $108.54, down $4.91. Large fed cattle supplies and the continued premium that Canadian cows have over the U.S. market have reduced demand for non-fed animals. The stronger Canadian dollar is also adding pressure to the markets for cows and ground beef. Supplies will increase soon as cow-calf producers cull herds to match winter feed supplies.

FEEDERS MIXED Steers weakened while heifers were steady with light heifers in good demand. Yearling price averages were under pressure on limited numbers and quality at auction. Most yearlings are now trading on electronic sales or sold privately. Overall, auction volumes were steady but larger than a year ago. Forward-sold calf prices are well supported, and the large lots are often fetching premiums over the cash market. Steers 500 lb. for fall delivery were mostly at $205-$220 per cwt. The feeder cash-to-futures basis weakened a couple of dollars but is historically strong. The 750 lb. basis was $18.15 while 850 lb. was $6.43. It was the fifth

consecutive week that they have been positive. September tends to be the strongest basis month of the year. Chicago cattle futures showed good strength last week, but the Canadian dollar rose to US82.5 cents, the strongest in more than two years. Yearling prices should remain well supported on modest offerings and solid feedlot demand. Calf volumes will likely start to pick up as producers complete harvest and as pastures dry up. Calf prices could start to see seasonal price pressure.

US BEEF FLAT Choice rose 22 cents to US$192.13 per cwt. and Select was down $1.18 at $190.16. The Choice-Select spread widened to $1.97 per cwt., but remained narrower than last year’s $6.51. Lower production in the holidayshortened week provided some price support. Also, the recent decline in cut-out value combined w ith gr illing demand for the Labour Day holiday encouraged beef features at the retail sector. Canadian boxed beef values were unavailable.

The U.S. national live price average for barrows and gilts was US$57.99 per cwt. Sept. 7, down from $50.55 Sept. 1. U.S. hogs averaged $58.65 on a carcass basis Sept. 7, down from $61.95 Sept. 1. The U.S. pork cutout was $82.12 per cwt. Sept. 7, down from $84.47 Sept. 1. The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to Sept. 9 was 2.170 million, down from 2.315 million in the previous week. Slaughter was 2.086 million last year at the same time. In Canada, the average Signature Five price for the week to Sept. 9 was C$147.10 per 100 kilograms, down from $158.65 the previous week. The average price was $66.72 on a per hundredweight basis, down from $71.96 the previous week.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$6.25–$6.40 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.75 or more with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs. Grade A heifers sold up to C$6-

$6.30. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.50. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

LAMBS LOWER Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 444 sheep and lambs and 23 goats sold Sept. 5. A light offering of lambs sold on a very dull demand at extremely lower prices. Sheep sold steady, and goats traded barely steady. Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported that 991 sheep and 56 goats sold Sept. 5. Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $225-250 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $227.50-$252, 70-85 lb. were $215-240, 86-105 lb. were $195-$225 and 106 lb. and heavier were $190-$215.

WPEDITORIAL

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

COPING TO WEATHER

Weather extremes highlight benefits of crop research

f ever there was a question about the value of research and development in crop production, this year answered it with a resounding affirmative. Residual moisture from previous years was critical for many in the central and southern Prairies, but so too were advances in crop varieties and minimum and zero tillage. Nothing could prevent serious yield loss in bone dry regions, but in many areas that were dry but not parched, farmers are shaking their heads and smiling as they watch combine yield monitors in fields they had little hope for in July. Statistics Canada’s first crop production forecast, produced from farmer surveys conducted in late July, says prairie hard red spring wheat and canola yields, on average, are down about six percent from the 201216 five-year averages. However, most in the industry think that is a worst-case scenario. The survey was conducted at the height of the heat and dryness, putting producers in a negative mindset. Anecdotal reports from farmer posts on social media, satellite monitoring and other evidence suggest things are turning out better than expected. That is amazing, considering that Regina and Moose Jaw experienced their driest July in more than 100 years of records. It was also hotter than normal. Regina had 11 days of plus 30 C highs compared to the average of five. Those situations were among the extremes, but the vast majority of the Prairies in July had rainfall well below normal and temperatures above normal. The situation prompted comparisons to 1988 and 2002, two previous drought years. However, the results in the fields were not like previous droughts. A critical difference this year was the fact that the Prairies were coming off of a string

of wet years. Although the soil surface dried out, there was moisture in the subsoil that plants could access. However, we also have to consider that today’s farming machinery and techniques conserve moisture like never before. A couple of decades of minimum or zero tillage on most prairie fields have changed the soil structure, making it better able to absorb and hold moisture. Crop residue and greater organic matter hold soil, preventing erosion in high winds. As well, the latest crop varieties handle stress better, which allows them to perform better in dry weather. Breeding for drought tolerance is still a difficult thing. Standing up to drought is a quality with many genetic factors. There is no simple GMO solution. However, the steady march of breeding with incremental improvements in yield and quality has created as a byproduct plants that are more robust and able to seek out available moisture. These advances in plant variety are the result of costly research paid for through rising seed costs and research checkoffs. We can appreciate it when producers complain of the rising cost of inputs such as seed. With so much money going into the ground to produce a crop, the risk rises to stressful levels that can’t be dismissed. However, we can also appreciate it when research investment allows crops to be produced in conditions that in the past would have caused massive failures. We hope Mother Nature provides fall rain and winter snow to replenish soil moisture. If not, 2018 will provide an even greater test of the resiliency of our farming system.

LABOUR SHORTAGE

Industry failing to inform students on careers in agriculture CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

ne of the most common questions asked in conversations with folks who work in the agriculture industry is about a person’s farm background. It’s easy to understand why this question gets asked. For one thing, it’s a great ice breaker because it lets people find common ground. It is also a simple way to suss out whether the person knows anything about agriculture, especially if you happen to be at an event in the middle of town. Given that most Canadians generally have no idea where their food comes from, one can usually assume that if you’ve lived on a

farm or worked/studied in the field for any length of time you probably have a pretty good idea of how the sector works. However, too much focus on whether a person has a farm background can also have its disadvantages. (For the sake of full disclosure, I do not have an agriculture background. None of my family farms. Most everything I know about the sector has been learned while on the job.) For one thing, Canada’s farm — and r ural population — is shrinking, meaning the pool of people born with a farm background is getting smaller. That means a smaller talent pool for an industry already facing a burgeoning labour crunch expected to balloon past the current estimated shortfall of 59,000 workers. Filling those positions is a complicated matter that requires a combination of factors to be addressed, including location, wage, work type, education requirements and schedules. Urban Canadians often

don’t want on-farm jobs, so there’s no simple solution. Yet, the staff shortages Canada’s agriculture sector faces goes beyond the farm. In its 2017-18 plans and priorities report released in March, the Canadian Grain Commission warned nearly 25 percent of its current staff was eligible to retire in the next five years. The commission staffs 404 full-time equivalent positions, of which 24.5 percent are eligible to retire in five years or less. Potential future staffing issues were also flagged by the Canadian Dairy Commission in its 2016-17 corporate plan. “Recruiting employees with specialized knowledge in the fields of agricultural economics and the dairy industry remains a challenge due to the small number of potential candidates,” the commission said. “Employee attraction and retention are therefore important,” adding it has a succession plan in place for its “key positions.”

The shortfall isn’t just in the public sector. Job postings for agricultural economists, communications staff, researchers, government relations persons, accountants and marketing specialist are commonplace across the industry. Many of those positions could be filled by folks who don’t have any agriculture background. Some companies and sectors have already started recruiting outside the farm space and hired people with an interest in the sector and are willing to learn. Those efforts need to go further if the sector wants to tackle the crux of its labour issues: urban Canadians don’t consider agriculture as a field — at all. The majority of my high school class, as well as those of many of my friends, earned degrees in areas like economics, law, business, science, education, engineering, communications, medicine and political science. I can’t think of a single high school classmate, many of whom graduated at the top of

their class, who works in the agriculture sector today. Why? No one ever told us how those hard-earned degrees could be applied within the industry. Nor did anyone tell us how many opportunities and careers were available in agriculture. This, at a time when youth unemployment and underemployment is a reality. This knowledge gap is a significant shortfall and one that must be tackled head-on if the industry has any hope of filling its current and future vacancies. Every time the industry takes a chance on someone without a farm background, that gap closes ever so slightly. When those employees talk about their work and their employer with their urban friends, suddenly agriculture is embedded in the conversation. Is it the perfect solution? No. But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a shot. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

The Peter L ougheed government brought in the Eastern Slopes Policy in 1977. More detailed Integrated Resource Plans for specific areas along the Rocky Mountain front ranges and foothills soon followed. Our public lands haven’t lacked for promises and good intentions, but lack of funding, compromises to appease special interest groups, insider politics and simple inaction and neglect frequently got in the way of results. Degraded landscapes and damage streams were the result. Demands for better stewardship of our public lands have ramped up over the years in response to ongoing degradation. To its credit, the previous government responded by creating a provincial Land Use Framework and, in 2014, by releasing a new South Saskatchewan Regional Plan. Pointing out that our public forest lands produce most of southern Alberta’s water, sustain fish and wildlife and offer some of our best

outdoor recreation and tourism opportunities, the plan put a priority on the Porcupine Hills and Livingstone areas for more detailed strategies to manage the land disturbance footprint and manage recreational use. In 2015, the newly elected current government committed to follow through on those planning commitments. Following two years of intensive consultations and effort, draft Footprint Management and Recreation Management plans are to be released for public review in the coming weeks. The government’s planning team appears to have done an exemplary job. It started by consulting the science literature and knowledgeable stakeholders, including off-highway vehicle user groups and area residents, to assess how much activity the land and water can handle without damage. They met repeatedly with a wide variety of interested stakeholder groups and hosted open houses and workshops in nearby commu-

nities. Officials invited submissions and made themselves freely available to discuss issues with interested groups to make sure that nobody was left out. Finally, the planners rolled up their sleeves to produce the plans. However, rather than go it alone, they established a Southwest Alberta Recreation Advisory Group in May to help them get it right. The SARAG met on five occasions from May through early August to work through planning issues with government staff. SARAG participants represented a full range of interested stakeholders, including First Nations, rural municipalities, the forestry and oil and gas industry, cattle ranchers, local residents, off-highway vehicle users, snowmobilers, hunters and anglers, mountain bikers, backpackers and hikers, outfitters and equestrian groups, stewardship organizations, and nature enthusiasts. All SARAG participants were given repeated chances to present

It was a fair, balanced, inclusive and meaningful process: collaborative planning at its best. All of us have a vital stake in ensuring that land use brings out the best of our public lands — and of ourselves. We just might see that happen this time.

AG POLICIES

Ottawa tunes out prairie agricultural concerns HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ttawa is becoming steadily less friendly to agriculture, especially agriculture in the West. Rather than starting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, let’s look at the opposition. With Andrew Scheer as the new leader of the Conservatives, you’d think agriculture would have some priority. After all, Scheer is from Saskatchewan. However, so far he has failed to impress. The official opposition critic for agriculture was Saskatchewan MP David Anderson, and while Anderson didn’t make a lot of headlines,

he at least represents an agricultural riding in Saskatchewan. Scheer has taken the position away from Anderson and given it to Quebec MP Luc Berthold, who has no apparent connections to agriculture. Berthold’s occupation is listed as communications director, journalist, political attaché and trainer. The associate agriculture critic for the Conservatives is John Barlow, and while his occupation is listed as journalist, at least he represents the Foothills constituency of Alberta. And what about the NDP? Can you name any of the individuals running to replace Tom Mulcair? Their agriculture critic is someone named Ruth Ellen Brosseau, another Quebec MP. Her occupation is listed as assistant manager, community activist and volunteer worker. Good luck having a deep conversation about agriculture policy with any of the critics. By comparison, Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay actually looks pretty qualified. At least he

used to be a farmer, a fact he wastes no time telling anyone who will listen. In reality, MacAulay is a caretaker for the ministry. He exhibits no evidence of a plan or agenda. He makes soothing noises and has his picture taken as often as possible. Any direction on agriculture is coming from the bureaucracy or other ministries. That direction includes a carbon tax that will hurt agriculture while doing little to reduce actual emissions and nothing to alter climate change. It also includes proposed tax rule changes that are an outright attack on small business corporations, particularly incorporated farms. One wonders if MacAulay ever raises concerns with Trudeau or Finance Minister Bill Morneau. To give credit where credit is due, Transport Minister Marc Garneau has listened to the reasoned arguments of the grain industry and appears to be on the right track (pardon the pun) with grain trans-

portation legislation. However, the highest profile agriculture issue is the North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations and the future of supply management, particularly the dairy sector. The Liberal government is sticking to the line that it will protect supply management. If it was a Conservative government in Ottawa, it would be saying the same thing. The government and the opposition parties are worried about political fallout in Ontario and particularly Quebec if any substantial changes are made to supply management. They don’t exhibit the same concern about agriculture in the West. Prairie farmers love to hate Liberal governments, but as Parliament resumes, it will be interesting to see how much importance the opposition parties place on agriculture.

DISAGREEING WITH RITZ To the Editor: So there we have it. BattlefordsLloydminster MP and former Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz gets to ride off into the sunset after telling the world his version of saving the world (or at least western grain farming) by ending the CWB. Unfortunately, the world is not quite as Ritz tells it. For one thing, the CWB system was a sellers’ monopoly on behalf of farmers (the farmers being the sellers). With the end of the CWB, the giant grain companies are now essentially a buyers’ monopoly, to the farmers’ disadvantage. The most important and tangible difference of this situation is that farmers, who used to receive 85 percent of the export price under the CWB system, now under the buyers monopoly receive only 48 percent. Of course, Ritz was not fazed by this at all. He brazenly tells us that grain prices are higher now than they were under the CWB. Sorry, but first of all, grain prices are subject to world market forces. And secondly, prices may be higher but the farmers are receiving a smaller share of the pie under

his “marketing freedom.” In other words, farmers could be doing a lot better than they actually are now. We are also witnessing that billions of dollars are being spent on upgrading grain handling facilities since the end of the CWB. We see that the railways have added thousands of cars to their grain fleet. And yet, the ships lined up waiting to load at Vancouver are still running between 20 and 30 ships per day, compared to an average of only a few or none in the CWB days. This is a sure sign of a lack of coordination and inefficiency in the grain movement that is costing farmers. And where is the transparency? Tom Shelstad Swift Current, Sask.

FUEL SHORTAGE

Steady harvest depletes prairie fuel supply BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Harvest has been going so steadily that some bulk fuel stations have had trouble keeping up w ith demand. Federated Co-operatives Ltd. said the Broadview bulk fuel site in eastern Saskatchewan was affected. Others across the Prairies have also seen shortages. “The extremely high demand across the Prairies over the last couple of weeks has stressed our distribution network and resulted in short-term outages at some bulk plants, but harvest is advancing quickly and we anticipate inventory levels will recover quickly,” said an emailed statement from FCL. The company said there are no production issues at the Regina refinery and there is adequate supply to meet harvest demand. One farmer said the Broadview terminal was rationing fuel so that everyone could continue combining. The continuing warm dry weather has allowed farmers to put in longer days and weeks this harvest instead of the stops and starts that often characterize the annual mega-project. karen.briere@producer.com

EXPORT OPPORTUNITIES

The other trade talks: negotiations with China ongoing NAFTA talks dominate the news but a potential deal with China is important to Canada’s livestock and grain sectors BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

In a normal year, a potential free trade deal between Canada and China would be massive news — at least in Canada. In 2017, it barely merits a mention on TV or in the business section of newspapers. That’s because renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement and President Donald’s Trump’s tweets about NAFTA are dominating the news cycle. Canada’s trade negotiators, politicians and likely hundreds of bureaucrats are pre-occupied with

NAFTA at the moment, but the China deal shouldn’t be neglected, said Brian Innes, vice-president for government relations with the Canola Council of Canada. “I don’t see it as one or the other,” Innes said from his office in Ottawa. “NAFTA is a very significant engagement … (but) what we’ve been told (by the government) is just because we’re negotiating NAFTA doesn’t mean we can’t launch trade negotiations with China.” In March the federal government asked Canadians for feedback on a possible free trade deal with China. Since then, Canadian officials have

met with Chinese representatives to explore the possibility of free trade negotiations. Innes and other members of the canola council met in August with Lu Shaye, China’s ambassador to Canada, at which time they discussed free trade and other issues. The canola sector is a strong supporter of free trade with China because tariffs curb canola exports. Right now, Chinese tariffs are: • nine percent on imported canola seed, which is three times higher than soybean seed • five percent on canola meal • nine percent on canola oil

The canola council said in a news release that eliminating Chinese tariffs on Canadian canola could boost exports of seed, oil and meal to China by $1.2 billion a year. “That would be the equivalent of 1.8 million tonnes of canola or about 10 percent of Canada’s current annual canola production (based on an economic analyses),” the release said. There are also non-tariff trade barriers, such as China not yet deciding on three canola biotech traits that have been approved in Canada since 2012. “Our trade with China has been growing but can still be unpredict-

able and hampered by barriers,” Innes said. The discussions between Canada and China are not free trade negotiations. They are exploratory talks to see if and how free trade would benefit both nations. ‘Windows of opportunity’ Innes is hoping the two countries do move forward soon with formal talks, despite the current obsession with NAFTA. “There are windows of opportunities for trade agreements,” he said. “We have also seen the Government of Canada negotiate multiple (free-trade) agreements in the past.” The canola trade may be focused on China, but Canada’s pork industry is still thinking about another trade deal. Canada and 11 other countries signed the Trans-Pacific Partnership in Februar y 2016, which Trump pulled out of in January. However, the remaining TPP countries are still pursuing a possible deal, and representatives of the 11 countries met in late August in Australia. Gar y Stordy, Canadian Pork Council’s public relations manager, said reviving the TPP should be just as important as pursuing an agreement with China. “I would suggest there is greater opportunity and advantage in advancing the Trans-Pacific Partnership with the 11 remaining partners,” he said. “There are some countries (in the 11) that are still enthusiastic about TPP…. To let it drop, it would be an unfortunate waste of time and effort.” Innes agreed that TPP should be a priority. However, the federal government doesn’t have to choose between NAFTA, TPP and a China free trade deal. Australia has proven that negotiating multiple agreements at the same time is possible. “We saw how Australia got three agreements in one year (Japan, China and South Korea),” Innes said. “The Canadian government should be able to do the same.” robert.arnason@producer.com

HARVEST SAFETY

Rest and relaxation critical to injury-free harvest Fatigue, lack of familiarity with equipment and cutting corners to save a few minutes can result in a lifetime of regret BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Every harvest season on the Prairies is memorable for one reason or another. Last year’s harvest will likely be remembered for the unwelcome rain and snow, the mud, the ruts and the millions of unharvested acres. Fingers crossed, the 2017 harvest might be remembered as a line-toline event — a harvest season that went from start to finish with few if any weather-related delays. Glen Blahey, agricultural health and safety officer with the Canadi-

an Agricultural Safety Association (CASA), wants western Canadian farmers to make sure that this harvest season is remembered for the right reasons. “I’ve been in the farm safety business for … 37 years now and certainly there are two peaks (when we talk about farm injuries): one is plant and the other is harvest,” Blahey said. “At harvest season, statistics show that the severity of injuries goes up. That means the injuries are more serious and more debilitating.” So far, the 2017 harvest season has been characterized by warm,

d r y w e at h e r a n d f e w , i f a n y , weather-related interruptions. With last year’s rain-soaked harvest still fresh in their minds, many farmers are pushing themselves and their resources to the limit. But pushing too hard can come with risks. In a recent interview, Blahey cited a safety study in the United Kingdom that compared the effects of fatigue with the effects of alcohol impairment. The study found that the level of cognitive impairment caused by fatigue in equipment operators that had been working non-stop for 16 hours or more was equivalent to

the level of impairment caused by a blood-alcohol level of .08. “Fatigue is a very significant factor,” Blahey said. “Not having adequate rest breaks can wreak havoc, not only in terms of personal injury but also in terms of loss of efficiency in the work process.” In its latest published report, the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting program (CAIR) ranked agriculture as the fourth most hazardous occupation in Canada based on rates of fatal injuries. According to CAIR, there were 843 agriculture-related fatalities in

GLEN BLAHEY SAFETY OFFICER

Canada during a 10-year period between 2003 to 2012. Nearly 400 of those occurred in July, August, September and October. Fatigue during busy seasons is just one factor that contributes to farm injuries and fatalities. Others include lack of familiarity with machines or processes and inadequate planning and preparedness. “Early in the (harvest) season, a lot of injuries happen because it’s been almost a year since that kind of work has been done, so the familiarity with the operation of the equipment and the practices has faded a little bit,” he said. Another critical factor is planning and preparedness. Western Canadian farmers excel at producing crops efficiently and are among the most cost-effective growers in the world. But when it comes to injury prevention, emergency preparedness and safety planning, there is plenty of room for improvement. “I would probably suggest that the vast majority of producers would not get a gold star for health and safety planning,” Blahey said. A comprehensive approach should include: • identifying areas or situations where injuries might occur • developing strategies aimed at minimizing injury risks • communicating those strategies to farm workers • ensuring that proper training procedures and emergency response protocols are in place • making sure that every employee has reasonable access to communications equipment such as cellphones or radios • maintaining emergency or safety equipment in all areas where employees are working. This includes items such as fire extinguishers, protective clothing and well-stocked first aid kits. Preparedness planning does not only apply to situations where serious injuries or fatalities have occurred, Blahey added. They also apply to everyday situations that could pose a hazard. “What do you do when something goes wrong? For example, what procedure should you follow if the combine plugs up? “Injury prevention is not just about making sure guards are in place. It also involves planning: making sure that people are properly trained, making sure they are competent and making sure they are not so fatigued or exhausted that they not longer can maintain focus on the task at hand.” brian.cross@producer.com

PUBLIC SAFETY

Take extra care on highways

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

With harvest well underway across most of Western Canada, provincial authorities are urging caution on public roads and highways. “Harvest is a busy and important time for the agriculture community,” said Saskatchewan Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit. “We want to keep Saskatchewan’s roadways safe for everyone, and remind motorists to watch for slower moving agricultural equipment, especially during harvest.” To reduce the likelihood of accidents involving farm machinery, the Saskatchewan government is offering advice to motorists and equipment operators. Producers and motorists can call 306-787-5307 or visit bit.ly/ 2y0ljry. Extra care should always be taken when travel ling through areas where roadway construction crews are at work. Drivers in Saskatchewan can check the Highway Hotline, which provides up-to-date information on construction, emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges and other road activities. Information is also available by calling 511. brian.cross@producer.com

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND THIS HARVEST SEASON • Most harvest injuries and fatalities involve machinery and equipment. • Be extra vigilant when re-familiarizing yourself with equipment such as swathers, mowers, combines and augers. • Ensure that all implements are attached or hitched properly and in good working order. • Make sure all guards and shields are in place and secure and watch for changes in terrain such as holes, ruts or debris that may cause upsets or roll-overs. Take your time and pay attention to detail • Remember, cutting corners to save a few minutes during the busy harvest season can cause a lifetime of regret. • Harvest season can be very stressful. Remind yourself and your workers every day that no

harvest is worth an injury or a life. • Pay close attention to fatigue, drowsiness and illness and don’t ever rely on stimulants to keep workers going or depressants to calm nerves. • Never operate equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Ensure employees are properly trained and capable of performing their tasks safely • Farm statistics show that the rate of fatal farm injuries is highest among new or inexperienced farm workers, elderly helpers or part-time, seasonal employees that have limited knowledge of machines or processes. • Regardless of the situation, all employees should receive adequate training and a general

review of how machines work, the processes that will be used and the potential dangers that could result in injury or death. • Training, planning and preparedness are keys to reducing the risk of injury. Take care when transporting equipment on roads and highways • Always take the time to properly prepare farm machines for safe transport and be aware of other motorists. • Ensure that all lights and reflectors are in place and in good working order. • A slow-moving vehicle sign should be in place and visible from the rear. • When travelling unfamiliar routes, take the time to check for potential obstacles or danger spots. Always ensure that

Keep children safe • Do not allow children to play on or around machinery. • Tragedies can occur when children are in the path of equipment and operators have a restricted view, or when kids are playing in a worksite with hazards such as grain, augers and power take-offs. • Always ensure that children are supervised when harvest machinery is being used and try to foresee potential dangers before they arise. • When your children are involved, there is no such thing as being too safe.

ALBERTA

Livestock owners told to be proactive Looming fire may require evacuation BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TWIN BUTTE, Alta. — It is so dry in southern Alberta that ranchers contemplating a cattle roundup under threat of wildfire must ask themselves a question: does the horse have shoes? The spark from a metal shoe against a rock is enough to start a fire that, given windy conditions and heat, could quickly and easily get out of control. Rain was in the forecast for Sept. 13-14, and more than a few prayers were being uttered for its delivery to help control a wildfire that could threaten the scenic and heavily treed southwest. As of Sept. 11, a wildfire started by a lightning strike in British Columbia had crossed into Alberta, where it was feared it might reach into Waterton Lakes National Park. The park was evacuated Sept. 8. That night, a public meeting at nearby Twin Butte Community Hall had standing room only as residents sought more information.

There were concerns the fire could work its way through mountain passes into the forest reserve where ranchers have at least 800 cattle. Ranches that border the park were also under threat. “We’re in the first canyon out of the park to the north, but we did prepare for fire,” area rancher Sophie LaRocque said after the meeting. “We evacuated our horses on Monday and we’ve been doing all sorts of ‘fire smarting’ around the place, so we’re feeling pretty good, just mainly frustrated with the lack of information at this point and really appreciative that they put this event together tonight.” Her 200 cows have been moved to grazed areas near the home place, but ranchers with cattle in the heavily treed grazing reserves faced difficult decisions. “It’s so hot right now, it would be hard to move them out in this heat,” said LaRocque. “That’s a lot effort and those cows don’t want to come down out of there. So that’s a tough one, espe-

I’m feeling very fortunate that we’re not in that situation.” Use of all-terrain vehicles is even more risky in terms of potential to spark a fire. They’ve been banned for weeks on any public lands in the region. Garry Dzioba, regional field offi-

cer with the Alberta Emergency Management Agency, said ranchers had a golden opportunity to take action because as of Friday the fire was moving slowly. It was unlike last year’s wildfire near Fort McMurray, Alta., which changed course so suddenly that residents had to flee at a moment’s notice. At the meeting, he recommended that cattle be moved out of the for-

est reserve but acknowledged it wouldn’t be easy to decide or easy to do. “It boils down to the decision of the rancher. ‘Am I willing to move my livestock?’ Our recommendation is, it’s a proactive approach, no different than being fire smart around your home.” barb.glen@producer.com

Dry conditions in Sask. set grass, fence lines, combine ablaze BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Feeding will begin much earlier at Six Mile Ranch this fall after fire swept through stockpiled winter grazing acreage last week. “We have lost about 11 miles of fence and about 2,800 acres of grass ourselves,” said Clayton Gibson of the Red Angus operation at Fir Mountain, Sask. “Neighbours have lost probably another 800 acres of grass and probably seven to eight miles of fence.” A neighbour also lost one animal. A week after the fire, which was sparked Sept. 4 by a swather cutting

durum next to Six Mile, all hands were still monitoring flare-ups. The fire spread about 11 kilometres long and one km wide at times. It wasn’t until Sept. 10 that flare-ups seemed under control. Firefighters from four municipalities fought the blaze, along with

about 500 volunteers from as far away as Gravelbourg, Mankota and Assiniboia. They fought on foot and with all types of water trucks and tanks. A water bomber, which Gibson said appeared out of nowhere, also helped control the fire. He said he had planned to use the stockpiled grass until mid-November. Instead, he will have to feed 400 head for two and a half months longer than planned. “We all know feed is $175 to $200 a tonne. We were just scratching and hoping we had enough feed for winter. Now winter’s kind of begun the first of September.” Gibson said fighting a fire like

that is scary. “I was out on the hose (where it was) burning along the side and all of a sudden it was right on top of me,” he said. “It had jumped four or five feet.” Megz Reynolds said she grabbed her cellphone and a hoodie before jumping from her still-moving combine after it caught fire on the weekend while she was straightcutting canola near Kyle, Sask. “The way I was cutting, the wind was taking the smoke away from me so I couldn’t actually smell smoke,” she said Sept. 11. “I had just checked my temperature gauge and it was fine and then my rad alarm dinged.”

Reynolds then saw the black smoke and flames out the window. “I didn’t even pull the hydrostatic. The combine was still cutting down the field when I jumped out.” Reynolds, who is on the local fire department, said they were taking all the proper precautions by blowing out the radiator several times a day. She said that from her experience at other combine fires, she thought she would have time to put out a fire if it ever happened to her. “You don’t always,” she said. A combine older than Reynolds will be pressed into duty to finish off their 400 acres. karen.briere@producer.com

HORSE CAREER

Working with horses a family tradition Fifty years ago, race day attracted big crowds but the sport is now dwindling BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VIRDEN, Man. — Merle Coleman met her husband, Ron, by accident. The 90-year-old diminutive horsewoman and former nurse recalled him needing medical aid after getting hit in the face with a pulley. He recovered and went on to live a long life, passing away last year, while Merle gave up nursing at age 60 after breaking her neck from falling off a horse. The couple, well known in horse racing and 4-H circles, raised, trained and raced horses for harness events. A front room cabinet lined with trophies and race memorabilia attests to the family’s success with sulky carts. “We won a few trophies,” said Merle, who shared her expertise with horses while leading 4-H programs for more than six decades. Ron was known as Mr. Fix-it because of his skills as a mechanic and blacksmith. “We still miss him, he took good care of everything,” said Merle. “We scrimped and saved. We both grew up having to work for our money and grew up on farms.” They settled in Virden in the 1970s, where Merle lives today on a half section farm with her daughter, Dreda Braybrook, who once also raced and rode. L ooking back fondly on her career, Merle cited a highlight at the Brandon fair when she met Queen Elizabeth with one of her 4-Hers. Today, she credits Dreda with keeping the farm going and allowing her to remain where she is happiest — with her animals. Dreda worked as a groom in Ontario and Florida, but these days she splits her time between horse chores at the farm and hotel work in town. Dreda’s son, Clayton, continues the family’s harness racing tradition each summer on the Manitoba Great Western Harness Racing Circuit, making the commute from his music teaching job in Kindersley, Sask., to the farm and beyond for race events. He keeps his miniatures in Saskatchewan but the standardbreds at the Coleman farm. Having the land, barn and equipment at the farm made it easy for him to stay involved. “It didn’t break me to get into the business. It’s breaking me to be in the business,” he said, citing shrinking race events that numbered as many as 20 towns in the

Merle Coleman, 90, spent decades leading 4-H projects and training harness racehorses with her late husband, Ron, from their farm near Virden, Man. 1970s and 1980s. “It’s dwindled down to 10 actual race days in four towns,” he said, noting how eight horses compete with payouts going from first to fifth place finishes. “Winner gets half the pot,” said Clayton. Merle loves to watch the animals horsing around in the yard outside her kitchen window and longs to still be part of the racing scene. “Even yet, when they pull out of here, I want to go,” said Merle. Added Clayton: “It didn’t matter if they came first or last, she still loved them.” Coles Bill Payer, their 32-year-old gelding, took 13 tries at qualifying before he launched into a successful racing career. “He was a sweetheart, easy to work with, a calm horse,” he said. In retirement, he was trained to ride and pull sleds. “Any old lady can ride him,” said Merle. Helen Elliott, a longtime friend

“She taught them respect for the horses and people,” she said. “They were always excellent riders after

she finished with them.” Merle still spends time with her horses and is often in local parades. The previous night, she had gone for a trail ride. The Colemans started out intent on raising and selling standardbred colts at two years old. “But they got too attached and couldn’t sell them,” said Clayton, whose father, Gerald, built the local horse track in 1973. “They kept them and trained them and raced them.” Clayton’s late brother, Dale, also worked with stock and worked as a cowboy. Today, Merle owns four standardbreds and two quarter horses and Clayton has nine racehorses and four miniatures. He turns the horses out to pasture for the winter, revving up training each March. Merle also boards others’ horses on her land, some of which is rented to a grain farmer. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

ON THE FARM

Sask. growers spice it up clove by clove Garlic growers add flavour to farmers markets BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

YORKTON, Sask. — The best advertising for the Garlic Garden comes from its customers. Darrel and Anna Schaab operate the five-acre plot of garlic near Yorkton, mainly for direct-to-consumer sales at weekly farmers markets in Saskatoon and Regina. Such sales eliminate the middleman and get them closer to end users, said Anna. For her, that’s the appeal of growing garlic. “Customers make it worthwhile, they’re always positive and appreciative of how much effort it takes,” she said. “They have specific questions, and the market is the perfect atmosphere where we make connections and we take the time to answer questions.

ON THE FARM

DARREL & ANNA SCHAAB Yorkton, Sask. “It is a lot of driving, but they buy a lot of garlic so you’ve got to go where the people are.” Anna is a former teacher who has taken a leave from work in corrections as the operation becomes busier. “Our farm business comes first,” said Anna. The couple strives to keep growth at a manageable pace. “We don’t want to have a whole pile we can’t sell,” said Darrel. They have seen growth in whole-

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The Colemans got into standardbreds because they needed a horse that could easily follow a track in snow and ride to town, and the draught horses were too slow to use, said Clayton. Racehorse training parallels body building and involves daily exercise to build muscles, stamina and speed, he said. Clayton enjoys the camaraderie of the horse community. “I don’t mind finishing fifth if we’re lined up across the track and have lost by a nose. It means everybody is doing well,” said Clayton. Darryl Mason, president of the Manitoba Great Western Harness Racing Circuit, said the family has

sale markets, which accounts for one-third of their production. A small percentage is also sold at the farmgate. Anna manages marketing and the social media sites, including www.yorktongarlic.com, Facebook, Instagram and a blog, while Darrel oversees field operations. Their two adult children have been involved, but both are pursuing university degrees, so the Schaabs hire workers during harvest and seeding. They normally seed their long season crop in September, sometimes also seeding in early spring if more garlic is needed to meet anticipated sales. “It can take the cold,” said Darrel, noting fall seeded shoots can be seen poking out of the snow in April. June is spent scouting for disease and harvesting garlic scapes. “We market what we can, but not many know about them,” he said about scapes, which are edible shoots that grow as part of the plant. Restaurants may want them, but it’s a lot of work for a smaller return than on their main garlic crop, he said. Garlic is harvested with a potato harvester in early August and then stored in aerated bins in an oversized shed. Darrel said most commercially available equipment is geared to large-scale production, so he uses his welding expertise to create tools and implements as required. The fall seeding season involves planting cloves that are hand separated from garlic bulbils, while the quieter winter season is spent processing garlic into dehydrated powders and granules. This year has been good, yielding smaller garlic but with less disease concerns, said Darrel, who noted losses of up to 60 percent some years from fusarium.

He has found through trial and error that soil health, cover crops and species diversity work well to battle disease rather than chemical applications. “If you can understand what each plant can do for you, it’s a big benefit and bonus,” he said. Darrel said buckwheat roots down and brings up phosphorus to the surface, while oats trap snow and radish and turnips penetrate hard soils and improve drainage.

“It’s like an energy tank in the soil, and the subsequent crop taps into that and the nutrients,” he said. Darrel’s diverse selections range from cereals to lentils to weeds, some of which is worked into the ground and some left to die off. “We really learn to use weeds as tools to our benefit,” said Darrel, who mows strips in his cover crops where the garlic will be planted. “We want total ground cover, no bare ground.”

been strong supporters and promoters of the sport, breed and industry for many years. “Their horses always looked great, they were fat and well looked after,” he said. They also hailed from an area known for horses and racers. Mason said harness racing can be started in childhood and continued through the adult years. “You don’t have to be 100 pounds to ride a sulky,” he said, comparing it to thoroughbred racing. Purses run from $1,400 to $2,500, but races also offer good exposure for the breed and potential sales. Mason prefers the track to the show ring. “It’s whether my horse can beat your horse. It’s not anyone’s judg-

ment,” he said. Mason, who operates Heartland Standardbreds at Killarney, said his town celebrated 40 years of racing last year. “Racing has been around for a long time and I hope it continues,” said Mason, who noted standardbred racing has disappeared in Saskatchewan. Clayton and Dreda aren’t certain of their sport’s future. “Part of what messed us up was VLTs,” said Dreda, noting it reduced betting money and crowds at races. “You could shoot a cannon and not hit anyone,” said Clayton of his weekend races. “The writing is on the wall for this industry.” karen.morrison@producer.com

The Schaabs are open to trying new things and once raised freerange chickens because their son was interested. They currently have cattle and pigs, hoping to improve their soil nutrition. Sausage is another offshoot they are exploring, said Anna. “If you don’t fail at two or three things a year, you’re not trying hard enough,” said Darrel. karen.morrison@producer.com

TASTY ALTERNATIVES

Desserts with savoury twist tease the taste buds TEAM RESOURCES

1 tsp. coarse raw sugar 5 mL drizzle of aged balsamic freshly ground black pepper

ZABAGLIONE:

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

avoury flavours in desserts are not a new fad. The Europeans traditionally serve a cheese course at the end of a meal. Aged Parmesan with a good quality balsamic is delightful. Prosciuttowrapped melon slices are often an appetizer but there is no reason they could not be a dessert. The addition of savoury flavours eases us into letting go of sweetness.

BASIL OLIVE OIL CAKE Most recipes tell you to dust the pan with flour after spraying it with oil. Flour leaves a dry, white coating on your cake. Instead, use a coarse raw sugar for a sweet and crunchy surface. 3 c. all purpose flour 750 mL 1 1/2 tbsp. finely minced 22 mL fresh basil 2 tsp. baking powder 10 mL 1/2 tsp. baking soda 2 mL 1/2 tsp. salt 2 mL 1 1/2 c. sugar 375 mL 1/2 c. extra virgin olive 125 mL oil 1/2 c. milk 125 mL 1/4 c. fresh lemon juice 60 mL 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 mL 3 large eggs olive oil for drizzling fresh basil leaves for garnish Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Coat a 10-inch (25 cm) tube pan with cooking spray. Dust with coarse raw sugar, shaking out excess. In a large bowl, mix flour with basil, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a second large bowl, beat sugar with oil, milk, lemon juice, vanilla and eggs until well combined. Beat flour mixture into egg mixture until there are no lumps. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for about 10 minutes before inverting on a cooling rack. To serve, drizzle a little oil over a slice of cake and top with a fresh basil leaf.

BLACK PEPPER AND BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES WITH ZABAGLIONE Use the best balsamic vinegar you have. Just a little drizzle goes a long way in kicking up the flavour of the strawberries. Zabaglione is traditional Italian custard usually served warm with fresh fruit or a dense, moist cake. If black pepper doesn’t appeal to you, then use basil. Basil and strawberries are another classic pairing. If you find that there is more zabaglione than you need, pop it into the freezer. It serves well as a frozen accompaniment to berries and cakes.

BERRIES: 2 c. fresh strawberries 500 mL hulled and sliced

2/3 c. Marsala, port or 150 mL red or white dessert wine 1/3 c. sugar 75 mL 6 large egg yolks Toss strawberries, raw sugar, balsamic vinegar and a couple of turns of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the zabaglione. In a large, metal bowl, whisk together the wine and sugar, then whisk in egg yolks. Set bowl over a pot of gently simmering water. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water and whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes frothy and stiff. You can slow down the speed, but if you need to stop whisking it, remove the bowl from the pan for as brief a time as possible. The zabaglione is ready when the mixture is thick and holds its shape when you lift the whisk and let some of the mixture drop back into the bowl. Pile the berries and their juices into a glass and top each with warm zabaglione.

ZABAGLIONE WITH CAVIAR Caviar is more accessible than it has ever been. Acadian Sturgeon and Caviar Inc. in New Brunswick ships across Canada. It is available online at Costco. Order about a week before you want to serve it. see zabaglione recipe 1 c. whipping cream 250 mL 2 oz. wild sturgeon 50 g caviar Make the zabaglione as directed above. Chill. Whip the cream until it is soft and fold into the zabaglione. To serve, use a small dessert bowl or liquor glass and place a generous dollop of caviar on top of about 1/4 cup (60 mL) of zabaglione. Serves six.

ROQUEFORT AND HONEY ICE CREAM WITH ROASTED PEARS 1/2 pear for each person 6 tbsp. honey, plus 90 mL more for drizzling 4 oz. Roquefort cheese 115 g 1 c. whipping cream 250 mL 1 c. whole milk 250 mL 4 large egg yolks a few turns of freshly ground black pepper To prepare the pears, slice them in half and remove core. Brush the cut side with honey and roast at 350 F (180 C) for about 20 minutes or until tender. Make these just before serving and serve warm or at room temperature. To make the ice cream, warm the honey in a small saucepan, then set aside. Crumble the Roquefort into a large bowl. Set a mesh strainer over it. In a medium saucepan, warm the milk. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Scrape the warmed egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.

PRAIRIE HARDY

Fruit breeders making it easy to pick from the tree SOWING SEEDS

LORNA MCILROY

iting into a shapely petite red Norland apple, newly picked from my tree and still warm from the sunshine, would not have been possible a century ago. Tree fruits then were too tender for the western Canadian climate, but thanks to the Morden Manitoba Research Centre, the horticulture department at the University of Saskatchewan and individual breeders, there are now hardy cultivars. Reputable local nurseries might still have quality fruit trees in containers that could be successfully transplanted into your yard. In September, it is probably better to choose a sunny location, preferably with wind protection, carefully p l a n y o u r m i n i - o rc ha rd a n d amend your soil in preparation for planting next spring. If you are considering the seven layers of an edible landscape, use apple, pear or plum as the canopy layer, Evans cherry, chokecherry or saskatoon as the small tree layer, currants, raspberry or honeyberry as the shrub layer, rhubarb as part of the herbaceous layer, strawberry or lingonberry as the groundcover, various edibles for the root zone and grapes as the vine. My hardy Norland apple is in good company with Norkent, Parkland, Goodland, September Ruby and many more. Recommended crabapple varieties include Dolgo, Kerr, Trail and Rescue. If you desire a pear tree and have the space for two large trees, try the hardy Ure, Golden Spice or Earligold. The reliable Evans cherry has been joined in the last decade by the Romance series of dwarf sour cherries from the University of Saskatchewan program. They are amazingly sweet and include Romeo, Juliet and Valentine. Plums are delicious fresh or in

Plan and prepare soil now for your prairie orchard baking. Hybrid plums include Patterson Pride and Prairie. Asian plums include Brookgold and Ptitsin No. 3 and 5. Cherry plums (or chums) are crosses, with Opata and Dura proving popular. Apricots such as Brookcot and Westcot produce well. Sea-buckthorn grows tall and tends to sucker. Only the female tree produces berries, which are tr icky to har vest w ith all the thorns. Saskatoons such as Smoky, Northline, Honeywood or Thiessen are a traditional prairie treat. Raspberries are reliable whether you choose summer-bearers like Boyne or fall-bearing varieties like Double Delight. The golden rasp-

berry Honeyqueen is a real treat. Red currants make excellent jelly from Red Lake or Honeywood Red varieties. White currants include White Imperial and Large White. Black currants have a unique, mysterious flavour. Try Willoughby

or any of the Scottish Ben series. The Missouri currants can be black, red or golden. For gooseberries, try Captivator for resistance to powdery mildew, Hinnonmaki Yellow for sweetness or Pixwell for less thorns. Jostaberry is a gooseberry/black currant cross for the best of both worlds. Haskap or honeyberry is an edible honeysuckle with fruit ready in June. There are many varieties so it will not be difficult to choose a compatible cultivar to provide pollination. Aurora and Borealis are good choices. Goji berries are hardy and grow well on the prairies, seemingly unaware of the controversies surrounding their health benefits. Blueberries are available in several varieties, including North Country and North Sky, but will require soil amendments of peat moss or aluminum sulphate to lower the pH and increase the acidity of the soil. Lingonberry (low bush cranberry or mossberry) also needs acidic soil. Rhubarb is a large, perennial herb. Canada Red, MacDonald and the daintier Valentine are popular choices. Strawberries may be June-bearing (Kent), ever-bearing (Fort Laramie or Ogallala) or day neutral (Tristar or Seascape). Mulch is

INTERVENTION STRATEGIES

Needing to Urge drug addicted son to get professional help be perfect HEALTH CLINIC A: SPEAKING OF LIFE

CLARE ROWSON, MD JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

I am a perfectionist. I used to think that was a good thing and I was proud of my perfectionism. It seemed to me that people who are more successful set high expectations for themselves and that is what I thought perfectionism was. Lately my wife has been on my case. She says that she is tired of living with someone who never finishes what they start and is never satisfied with whatever he or anyone else does. She is tired of worrying about our children. She thinks that I expect far too much from them and she wonders why it is that I never praise them for what they do. In short, unless I make some major changes, she is threatening to take the children and leave me. I am not sure what to do. I don’t want to lose my family but I am not too sure that I can fix this.

You need to rethink this whole idea of perfectionism and consider making some serious changes. Apart from your immediate family problems, perfectionism can cause insomnia, depression, cardiac arrest, eating disorders and suicidal thoughts. Nothing is wrong with setting high expectations. The more that we expect from ourselves, the more that we are likely to succeed at whatever it is that needs doing. What could be more satisfying or personally rewarding? But for the perfectionist, nothing is satisfying because likely they do not know what their expectations are. As a result, they never know when expectations have been met so they are never satisfied. It means trying harder and harder, always in search of that satisfaction, to the point of exhaustion. Perfectionists often quit trying and they fall into the well of procrastination. The bottom line is that perfectionism is just another anxiety disorder. You are not going to fix it unless you confront the anxiety that perfectionism causes. In fact, you will probably never completely fix it, but you can get good support by working with your family doctor and finding medication that is helpful. Hopefully, your family doctor will also refer you to a mental health clinic where you can get further support. Until then, be gentle on yourself. I do not know of anyone who is more castigating to his or her fragile ego than a perfectionist. You need to change that and while you are at it, you could practice being gentle to both your wife and your children. The more positive and rewarding you can be, the greater the chances that they will stick around.

One of my friends has a son who is 27 years old and a drug addict. She lets him stay with her and even drives him to his job every day so he isn’t late for work. She doesn’t seem to be able to stop him taking drugs, mostly crack cocaine. Do you think she should just kick him out and let him try and manage on his own or is she doing the right thing?

The earlier an intervention is started in a drug addict, the better the chances of success. First you have to recognize the symptoms. In the case of stimulant types of narcotics such as cocaine, the addict often has a persistent runny nose or frequent nosebleeds. You may also notice needle marks in the arms or legs. Always wearing a long sleeved shirt or sweater may be an attempt to hide the telltale signs. You may also find drug related paraphernalia if you search the premises. The problem with cocaine or crack cocaine is that the addict likes it too much. They enjoy the high and are not willing to give it up, even though technically it is easier to withdraw from than some

other types of narcotics such as heroin. The withdrawal is more psychological than physical because it leads to severe depression. Another problem with treating this type of addiction is that clinics are not helpful because the replacement drug, methadone, works better for heroin addiction. There is no specific drug for helping with cocaine withdrawal. There are other prescription medications such as Gabapentin, which may work as mood stabilizers. I don’t believe that kicking her son out of the house would be helpful because he could end up out of work, homeless and on the streets. By condoning his behaviour even in a passive way, she is acting as an enabler and he is unlikely to volun-

tarily kick the habit without more active intervention. The first step for your friend is to contact her local alcohol and drug abuse clinic. They usually have a team of therapists, including doctors, social workers and psychologists. She should see them on her own at first and then take her son if he is willing. The workers will then advise on the next steps, which may include individual or group psychotherapy. There is also a Narcotics Anonymous association that follows a 12-step program similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. Residential treatment may be required, although this is often court ordered.

GM SURVEY

Public still can’t swallow concept of GM food Consumers are leery because food is ingested every day, says economist BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A new study has confirmed what pollsters already knew: the public remains skeptical about genetically modified foods. But economists at Purdue University found something else in a survey of about 1,000 Americans. The public is more accepting of genetic modification when the technology is not used for food. About 62 percent of respondents said GM is acceptable for use in human medicine and 68 percent said it’s OK to use the technology to protect human health, such as genetically modified mosquitoes. In contrast, 49 percent of respondents, in the web-based survey, said genetic modification is acceptable for grain production. Only 44 percent said it’s acceptable for livestock production. The results suggest food is unique because it’s essential to life. “Food is an everyday choice,” said Nicole Olynk Widmar, an agricultural economist at Purdue. “In some ways, I can understand why people may be more cautious about what they’re ingesting on an ongoing basis.” The Purdue results are similar to polls done in Canada, looking at

A survey of 1,000 Americans found 62 percent believe GM technology is acceptable to protect human health, such as a GM mosquito that is less likely to carry the Zika virus. | GETTY IMAGE public perceptions of GM foods: • A 2012 Farmers Feed Cities survey found that only 41 percent of Canadians think GM foods are safe for consumption. • An Insights West poll in 2014 found 50 percent of people in Alberta and 56 percent in British Columbia would support a ban on genetically modified foods in Canada. • A 2013 Consumers’ Association of Canada poll found that 88 percent of Canadians think GMO labelling should be mandatory. Widmar and her Purdue colleagues analyzed responses from 964 Americans, representing

demographics similar to the U.S. census. They separated the results based on age, region, income and education. Looking at the data, there was a positive link between income and acceptance. “Higher income groups were more likely to agree with genetic modification for grain, fruit and vegetables, and livestock production than lower income groups,” said a Purdue news release on the research. It’s hard to know why Americans are more accepting of GM technology for health reasons, but media coverage of the Zika virus may have

influenced public perceptions. Zika, a mosquito-transmitted disease that can cause serious birth defects, was a huge issue in 2016. As part of the story, scientists proposed using genetically modified mosquitoes to reduce the population of mosquitoes that might carry the virus. That public discussion, around the potential benefits of GM technology, may have changed a few minds. “The findings show that those aware of genetically modified mosquito technology were more likely to be accepting of genetic modifi-

cation,” the Purdue news release said. In the case of GM mosquitoes, the public learned about the concept before the technology received regulatory approval. It was different for GM foods, as most people found out after the fact, Widmar said. “The perception of choice matters,” she said. “If you need it to stay healthy, you would probably use it. But if you feel like you were given GMOs and told about it later, that might upset you.” Wally Tyner, also an agricultural economist at Purdue, said the gap in public perceptions between GM for medicine and health versus GM for farming, may offer some lessons for the ag sector. For years, GM advocates have promoted the yield benefits of the technology, that it increases production efficiency and helps farmers feed the world. The public may not care about yields or reducing costs for growers, Tyner said. “If we can highlight health and environmental benefits, rather than just focusing on the bottom line, that might have a positive effect on the public attitude toward GMOs.” The Purdue University study, “When is genetic modification socially acceptable”, has been published in the journal PLOS One.

25 YEARS AGO

Canadian farmers angered by U.S. wheat subsidies FROM THE ARCHIVES

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

75 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 10, 1942 Canada signed a credit agreement with Russia, under which it agreed to send nine million bushels of wheat or flour to its wartime ally. Both sides hoped this would be the forerunner of better economic relations between the two countries. Farmers were urged to take to the bush once winter arrived to work in the lumber industry. Elliot M. Little, director of National Selective Service, reassured producers that doing so wouldn’t jeopardize their farming status under the new selective service regulations.

50 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 14, 1967 “Cut-throat competition” was blamed for a precipitous 22 cent a

bushel drop in wheat prices that put them below the floor of the International Wheat Agreement that was to go into effect the following July 1. Charles Gibbings, president of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, called it the most critical marketing situation that had faced farmers in more than 20 years. Robert Stanfield replaced John Diefenbaker as leader of the federal Progressive Conservative party. It took the 2,200 delegates 10 hours to choose from among the 11 candidates, which included Diefenbaker.

25 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 10, 1992 U.S. President George Bush announced that the United States would put 30 million tonnes of subsidized wheat on the world market in the upcoming year. This latest round in the $1 billion wheat subsidy war, which was made in the middle of the 1992 presidential election, was met more by frustration and resignation than anger and outrage among Canadian farmers already facing low prices.

10 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 13, 2007 Grain shippers launched a service complaint against Canadian National Railway, which was the second in six months. This time it was five grain companies and the

Canadian Wheat Board, which asked the Canadian Transportation Agency for an interim order preventing the railway from allocating rail cars under its advance products program.

HAROLD RUDY

Conservationist honoured for work in agriculture Harold Rudy, one of the developers of the Environmental Farm Plan, is writing a book on soil and crop improvement BY JOHN GREIG FREELANCE WRITER

When Harold Rudy joined the soil conservation movement, he says he got the job not because of his University of Guelph degrees in agriculture economics and business, or his background growing up on his family’s farm, but because of his burgeoning computer skills. Being hired as part of a group of 20 soil conservation advisers in the 1980s, however, set the course of Rudy’s career, for which he was honoured at a recent ceremony

HAROLD RUDY SOIL CONSERVATIONIST

that inducted him into the Canadian Conservation Hall of Fame in Guelph, Ont.

Farmers, industry and academics involved in conservation and soil health were in Guelph for the Soil Conser vation Council of Canada’s Summit on Canadian Soil Health. Rudy may have started his career because he could understand DOS operating systems and data entry, but he moved from the Ontario agriculture ministry to manage the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association in 1987 as it morphed into the agriculture services and funding provider it is today. OSCIA provides farmer funding

for several government programs, especially major federalprovincial programs like Growing Forward 2, which is soon wrapping up before the new Canadian Agricultural Partnership comes into effect. OSCIA and Rudy were originators of the Environmental Farm Plan, a long-time Ontario program that has been adopted across the country. It provided incentives, but also brought farmers on board to invest in and adopt soil-friendly practices on their farms. Rudy has turned the management of OSCIA over to Andrew

Graham, but continues to be involved in the organization. In his remarks at the induction ceremony, Rudy lauded the 11 regional co-ordinators of OSCIA, who work with farmers and provincial extension staff to deliver information and programs. “We must fiercely protect and support our unique grassroots system,” he says. Rudy lives on his family’s farm near New Hamburg, Ont., and is working on a book, called The Soil Fixers, which documents contributions to Ontario agriculture by members of the OSCIA.

BASF expands facility in Saskatoon The company says there is a growing demand for biological inoculants BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

You might think that when nitrogen fertilizer is in the ground, it’s safe. Research suggests you need to think again. When shallow banding unprotected urea less than two inches deep, researchers found that nitrogen loss due to ammonia volatilization can be even greater than unprotected broadcast urea. Protect your nitrogen while maintaining the operational efﬁciencies of side banding or mid-row banding at seeding by using AGROTAIN® DRI-MAXX nitrogen stabilizer. Whether you choose to band or broadcast, you’ll be conﬁdent that you’re protecting your nitrogen investment, your yield potential and your return on investment. Ask your retailer to protect your urea today with AGROTAIN® DRI-MAXX nitrogen stabilizer.

Agri-products company BASF is expanding its inoculant manufacturing facilities in Saskatchewan, the company has announced. BASF will invest $10 million to expand facilities based in Saskatoon. Biological inoculants produced in Saskatoon are used throughout Canada and around the world. The company’s existing facility produces seed- and soil-borne inoculants. BASF marketing manager Julia Harnal said the expansion is aimed at meeting the increasing global demand for those products. The company’s newest product, Nodulator Duo, is a granular inoculant for peas and lentils that contains beneficial rhizobia bacteria, as well as a second biological component, bacillus subtilis, that creates a protective biofilm to protect root systems. “The expansion is in response to the increasing demand for our biological inoculant solutions worldwide,” Harna said. “With these investments, our latest innovation, Nodulator Duo, will soon make its way from our facilities in Saskatoon to growers in Canada who seek better plant nutrition for their crops.” The Saskatoon investment is par t of a larger BASF plan to expand or upgrade eight other North American agri-product manufacturing facilities across North America. All told, BASF expects to spend $828 million on facilities across the continent, a move aimed at maintaining the company’s position in the seed treatment and inoculant market.

BEEKEEPING

Poor quality queens focus of colony loss Canadian beekeepers import most of their queen bees from Hawaii BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

For a long time, Canadian beekeepers have said that varroa mites are their number one problem and the main cause of bee colony failure. Not this year. In 2017, beekeepers have said that poor quality queens are the primary factor for bee colony loss. “The most frequently cited causes in order from high to low were poor queens, followed by poor winter and spring weather, ineffective varroa control and weak colonies in the fall,” said the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists (CAPA), in a report published in August. Every year, CAPA surveys beekeepers, from coast to coast, to track winter losses and get a read on concerns within the trade. Winter colony losses were 25.1 percent over the winter of 2016-17, higher than the previous three winters. The winter loss percentage is the number of colonies that failed to make it through the winter, divided by the number of beehives in operation the previous year. Varroa mites, parasites that spread disease and weaken bees, are still problematic for many beekeepers. But this year apiarists in Quebec, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia said poor queens were the main cause of honeybee colony mortality. In Manitoba it ranked second. Steve Pernal, Agriculture Canada apiculturist in Lacombe, Alta., said the finding isn’t a shock. Queen failure has become a common complaint in the trade. “This is not an overnight phenomenon,” he said. “Beekeepers in Canada and the U.S. have been noticing (for a while) that queens don’t tend to last as long as they used to.” Now, queen bees typically last a year before they are replaced. Five or 10 years ago they were healthy and productive for about two years. “A lot of beekeepers would probably be on a cycle where they would be replacing queens almost every year,” Pernal said. Most Canadian beekeepers import queens from California or Hawaii. It’s possible to raise queens in Canada but not soon enough in the season for commercial beekeepers. “There is a huge demand for queens typically in the spring,” Pernal said. “Part of it is just climate… you’re not going to be able to produce queens and get them mated until sometime in later June.” Entomologists don’t know for certain why queens are more fragile today, but they identified one factor. Queen bees mate in the first few weeks of life and they use stored semen to fertilize eggs that are laid throughout their life. Queen failure can occur when the queen doesn’t produce enough viable eggs to maintain the colony population.

A U.S. Department of Agriculture study from 2016 found that queen bees might be exposed to extreme temperatures when shipped from places like Hawaii to Western Canada. The temperatures can, potentially, range from 8 to 41 C. “Those (queens) exposed to extreme high or low temperatures during shipping had sperm viability reduced by 50 percent,” the USDA said, thus reducing the queen’s ability to reproduce. Pernal has expanded upon that research and found similar results. “We just completed an experiment where we artificially simulate those temperature extremes and then introduce the queen to (a)

colony,” he said. “It’s quite striking the differences in productivity and the symptoms we see in those colonies.” Scientists like Pernal feel confident that temperature stress is an issue, but pesticides may also be making queens weaker. University of Guelph scientists exposed bumblebee queens to thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid insecticide used as a seed treatment on corn, canola and soybeans. They found that queens given higher doses of the insecticide laid smaller and less developed eggs than a control group of queens. “Most of the work to determine levels of toxic exposure to pesticide

has used honeybees as a model pollinator,” said Nigel Raine, U of Guelph pollination conservation expert. “But our findings show that bee species vary in their level of sensitivity to pesticides, which is important information that should be factored into regulatory decisions on these chemicals.” Pernal said there is some evidence that pesticides compromise q u e e n b e e h e a l t h, b u t m o re research is needed. “We’re not that far along with research, to sort of draw a real causal link between exposure to pesticides and a reduction in queen quality.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Varieties showing promise head to potato trials, buyers Breeders consider the end use, shape, colour and disease resistance BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BROOKS, Alta. — More than 100 separate bushel baskets of potatoes, each containing the production from 10 hills, are lined up on the grass at the Crop Diversification Centre South. Each contains a different variety of potatoes, some of them tried and true and others being considered for multiplication and future production. “Breeding is a long-term process which takes about 10 to 12 years to get to the market,” said Benoit Bizimungu, chief potato breeder with Agriculture Canada. “We start every single cycle with a really huge amount of different potato varieties…. We screen from 100,000 potential varieties every year. It’s a very long-term process but also a complex one. From that 100,000 we start every year, the expectation is to get hopefully one or two varieties.” There is a lot to consider when breeding potatoes because end use has major implications. Is the variety destined for the fresh table potato market? Are there consumer trends in ter ms of

shape or colour? Will the potatoes become french fries or potato chips? Will they need to be stored for long periods and if so, will they store well? Does the variety produce tubers of the right shape and texture for the designated end use? Where in Canada will it grow best?

It’s really a dance to try to get good material out there for them to evaluate and then to ensure that the people who have decision making capabilities to select those varieties and move them forward. We just try to pair them up. It’s like speed dating. MICHELE KONSCHUH ALBERTA AGRICULTURE

Bizimungu said Agriculture Canada addresses the latter question by having seven test sites across the country. “In every major production area, we have a trial site to see which

ones have local adaptation,” he said. “Some varieties actually have a wide adaptation. They do very well in each environment … and especially for the processing, that’s a good thing to have because you have some consistency.” Bizimungu said the potatoes on display at this field day are essentially an adaptation trial showing varieties selected at the research stage. The next step is to see how they adapt to different environments. “It’s the selection process after that, that makes the difference,” said Alberta Agriculture potato research specialist Michele Konschuh. “They will select varieties that have attributes that are of interest to industry. They are looking for all sorts of things: yield, french fry shape and colour, they’ll be looking for cold temperature storage, they’ll be looking for palatability and disease resistance and things like that.” Varieties with promise are grown in trials, and a short list is then offered to industry for evaluation.

Spud research looks at greenhouse gas emissions Discovering a way to reduce nitrous oxide emissions could improve sustainability and market access BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BROOKS, Alta. — Potato plants need a lot of nitrogen to produce tubers at optimum levels, but with more applied nitrogen comes an increased risk of nitrogen loss to the atmosphere. Guillermo Hernandez Ramirez, an assistant professor at the University of Alberta, is studying the use and loss of that fertilizer in potato crops. He is testing various nitrogen fertilizer formulations and biostimulants to gauge their effect on potato productivity and nitrous oxide emissions.

“In potato crops we want to be able to figure out what’s the environmental footprint and one of the main components of the environmental footprint is actually greenhouse gas emissions,” Ramirez said during a late August field day at the Crop Diversification Centre in Brooks. “Potatoes are a very intense crop. There’s a lot of activities related to tillage, also irrigation and nitrogen emissions. It is a high rate of nitrogen fertilizer that goes into the fields.” Ramirez has plots of Russet Burbank potatoes subjected to 11 different fertilizer, biostimulant and

i n h i b i t o r c o m b i nat i o n s a n d amounts at both Brooks and Lethbridge. The biostimulant, a product called HYT-A, has been tested on potatoes and other high-value crops in Europe, but research there is also in the early stages. “This is the first time that we are testing this in North America,” said Ramirez. In all plots, 65 percent of the nitrogen was applied pre-planting and the balance at hilling. Chambers were installed in the hills and valleys of each plot so nitrous oxide emissions could be measured weekly. Soil samples are

designed to show the nitrogen levels in soil after application and measure the uptake by the crop. At harvest, nitrogen will be measured in the potato canopy and in the tubers. Crop productivity and grading will also be recorded. Ramirez said that if certain combinations of fertilizer, biostimulants or inhibitors prove to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from the soil, it could affect market access for Canadian potatoes in the future and prove the crop’s sustainability from an environmental perspective. barb.glen@producer.com

After a few years of testing, there is a sealed bid process in which companies can bid exclusively or nonexclusively for the North American or global rights. Successful bidders can then take the variety forward, build a seed supply and start commercial production. “It’s really a dance to try to get good material out there for them to evaluate and then to ensure that the people who have decision making capabilities to select those varieties and move them forward, we just try to pair them up. It’s like speed dating,” said Konschuh. Ed Vandenberg, chair of Potato Growers of Alberta, said research is vital to the industry’s health. “We’d always like to see more but we’re definitely very supportive of the work that is done here and it’s very important to us that we are progressive in finding new varieties … for disease issues and better use of nitrogen, more efficient use of water. “Those are always things, if we’re going to be a progressive area, which I believe we are, we have to continually look for new varieties. We also have to work with our market to ensure that they are happy with the new varieties because it is really one industry and we all have to work together as a team to bring these new varieties to market acceptance.” Alberta’s potato industry is worth about $1 billion annually, even though the province is more widely known for its beef than its spuds. “We consider ourselves the side dish for beef,” said Konschuh. Potato harvest in Alberta is well underway. Vandenberg said harvest for potato chip varieties began in early to mid-August and harvest of french fry and storage potatoes was due to begin around Sept. 10. “Mostly I think it looks promising, under the irrigation, as long as people could keep the pivots running,” he said. barb.glen@producer.com

Foray into bulk fertilizer pleases Federated Co-op FCL sees more opportunities in the future after opening two prairie terminals to provide retail stores with product BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANLEY, Sask. — It recently opened and a giant fertilizer terminal is already being eyed for growth. Located in Hanley, the 96,000 sq. foot facility is one of two terminals commissioned by Federated Cooperatives Ltd. as part of a $75 million initiative to provide Co-op Agro Centres and prairie producers with crop nutrition products.

SCOTT BANDA FCL CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“We’re constantly growing in the ag sector….This spot was built, as was our sister site in Brandon, they are both built to be expanded if the demand requires it, and we’re very optimistic that that might be an opportunity for us,” FCL chief executive officer Scott Banda said Sept. 5 during the facility’s grand opening. Added Dan Mulder, the company’s director of fertilizer: “If the Co-ops keep on doing what they’ve done the last two years … I’ll be going to the senior leadership team at Federated and saying that, ‘hey, this growth is warranting a look to see if it makes sense to expand this terminal and the Brandon terminal.… There’s 77 Co-op retail outlets that are in the fertilizer business and we have approximately another equal amount that are in the Co-op input business selling seed and crop protection product but not currently selling fertilizer. So we see huge opportunity for growth in the fertilizer segment.” The Hanley terminal has been operating since April. It has the capacity to store 45,000 tonnes of dry bulk fertilizer and can stock the four major primary nutrients: nitrogen, phosphate, potash and sulfur. It has a declining weight, continuous flow blending system capable of mixing in micronutrient products as well as nitrogen stabilizers and conditioning products. “If you have some dusty prod-

ucts, you’ll be able to get the dust down so that when it gets delivered to the retailer, to the farmer, they’ll get good quality product,” said Mulder. Both terminals can load a super B trailer of blended fertilizer in 10 minutes and dispense up to 400 tonnes of straight fertilizer in an hour. “That is super fast,” he said. “Some competitors would take 30 minutes up to one hour to load out so this is state of the art.” Rail access is also capable of accepting unit trains that can bring product in from around the world, which Mulder said is strategic for the co-operative retail system. Construction of both facilities was announced last year and completed on schedule and on budget. The terminals were built identically, except Brandon’s 27,500 tonne storage shed is half of Hanley’s capacity. The Hanley operation employs five full-time workers, and Brandon has four. Mulder said the Hanley terminal will service Saskatchewan and parts of Alberta, while Brandon will look after Manitoba into areas of Saskatchewan.

The ag space is one of the pieces of the economy that we believe will always be here. People have to eat. SCOTT BANDA FCL CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“A lot depends on how we buy the product and how far we can reach, but typically speaking, we can ship about 300 kilometres in a concentric circle around each of the terminals,” he said. Banda said the addition of centralized fertilizer distribution fills the gap in the Co-operative Retailing System’s value added chain, which also provides producers with fuel, animal feed, crop inputs, grain handling equipment, general merchandise and food. “The ag space is one of the pieces of the economy that we believe will always be here. People have to eat. We have the land here in Western Canada, so we see an opportunity to grow in agriculture, but as we all know, it’s a very competitive space,” he said.

“A number of other competitors see that as well. We believe we have a real opportunity here because of our local presence. We have retail

Co-ops that are embedded in communities all across Western Canada … and the fertilizer piece was the one that was missing for us to really

focus on that to provide the complete package.” william.dekay@producer.com

August brings strong winds but little hail across Prairies LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Canadian Crop Hail Association says the number of hailstorms across the Prairies was below the five-year average. | FILE PHOTO

All hail the relative absence of hail on the Prairies. That could well be the celebratory cry for farmers with the number of damaging hailstorms tracking below the five-year average, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association. In its report for August, issued Sept. 5, the CCHA listed two hailstorms of note in Alberta, two in Saskatchewan and four in Manitoba. In Alberta, an Aug. 18 hailstorm affected areas around Elk Point, Heinsburg, Two Hills, Vermilion, Dewberry and Marwayne. Peasized stones blew in with up to

one inch of rain. An Aug. 24 storm was more widespread with large cells bringing rain and winds up to 120 km-h in some regions. Damage occurred to roofs, trees and grain bins. Areas affected included Rocky Mountain House, Ponoka, Ferintosh, Lacombe, Vegreville, Barrhead and Hazel Bluff. The CCHA also listed small localized storms in the province with light to moderate hail damage. In Saskatchewan, an Aug. 26 storm resulted in a few hail claims from areas near Antler, Bethune and Carievale. An Aug. 31 hailstorm passed through Yorkton but there were no

details on damage or claims. In Manitoba, the Gladstone area and regions south to Austin, Notre Dame and Somerset resulted in mild to moderate damage Aug. 21. Adjusters are trying to stay ahead of the combines, the CCHA said in its news release. Also on that day, hail hit areas between Fisher Branch, Riverton and Arborg with moderate damage reported. On Aug. 26, a hailstorm near Melita, Minto and Pierson resulted in “only a handful of claims.” A Sept. 1 storm cell travelled along the border with Saskatchewan, affecting areas near Rhein and Roblin.

Sask. rancher pleads guilty to stolen property BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Saskatchewan rancher has pleaded guilty to multiple charges of possessing stolen property, including numerous pieces of farm machinery that disappeared from farms and equipment dealerships. Iain Stables, 39, from Donovan, Sask., was charged with 29 criminal code offences in February 2016. T h o s e c ha r g e s i n c l u d e d 1 6 counts of possession of stolen property over $5,000, seven counts of theft over $5,000, five counts of theft of a motor vehicle and one count of break, enter and theft. On Aug. 28, Stables pleaded guilty to 18 charges. Sentencing is scheduled to take place Sept. 25 in Saskatoon. Legal counsel representing Stables told a provincial court judge earlier this year that the accused was receiving mental health assessments, which could affect the outcome of court proceedings. Stables’ case was included on a mental health strategy docket at provincial court in Saskatoon. Following a police investigation in 2015 and 2016, a total of 16 machines were recovered at two locations in Saskatchewan, including five John Deere tractors, two balers, two John Deere Gators, two Dodge trucks, trailers, a mower and various other items. The machinery recovered was valued at more than $1.2 million. All but one of the machines was recovered in the Donovan area, about an hour’s drive southwest of Saskatoon. One other tractor was located on a farm between Prince Albert and Melfort. Police investigator Const. William Groenen said last year that the majority of the machinery that was recovered disappeared from farm machinery dealerships in Rosthern, Rosetown, Outlook, Biggar and Saskatoon. “The majority of it was from dealerships … and not from private residences,” Groenen said. Charges against Stables were laid Feb. 11. brian.cross@producer.com

The practice of pickin’ rocks and roots may soon fade into the history books BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

LANGHAM, Sask. — People are drawn to rock crushing demonstrations like a tongue is irresistibly draw n to the sharp edge of a cracked tooth. You can’t help being fascinated watching 20-inch rocks smashed into pebbles. The Seppi M rock crushing demonstration was one of the strongest attractions at this year’s Ag in Motion show near Saskatoon. The concept of smashing nuisance rocks into little pieces rather than picking them is still new to Western Canada. The crushing process is expensive and it’s slow, but when it’s over, it truly is over. You’ll never see those rocks again. As for logs and roots, they’re instantly ripped into small bits of organic matter to feed your soil.

Yes, it was a violent show, but nobody turned to walk away until the tractor shut down. Seppi M brought two shredders to Ag in Motion. The Maxisoil 350 with a very wide 11.5 foot bucket is the largest mobile stone crusher in the world, according to Kirk Lovegrove, Seppi M rep for Western Canada Mulching & Crushing Equipment in Saskatoon. He said the 350 is usually set to

crush rocks down to about 1.5 inches when they leave the machine. The 350 is engineered for 300 to 450 horsepower tractors and is classified as a forestry tiller. It crushes stones up to 20 inches in diameter, digging them up from a depth of 14 inches. It does the same with roots and stumps. Above ground scrub brush is quickly devoured by carbide tipped hammers. An optional water injection system can be installed to help bind and stabilize the soil being processed through the machine. Maximum working speed is two km-h, but most stone and timber crushing machines actually spend their time at a creep. The 350 uses a category three or four rear-mounted three-point hitch. The machine that Lovegrove demonstrated at the show was the

smaller Supersoil 225 with a working width of eight feet and a capability to crush rocks up to 18 inches in diameter. It grinds roots and rocks down to a depth of one foot. The 225 is engineered for tractors in the 25 to 390 h.p. range. It uses a category three rear-mount threepoint hitch. It weighs about 11,000 pounds, depending on options. Maximum working speed is two km-h in light conditions. However, rocks crushers all typically work at a creep or may be stationary for several seconds when they encounter a particularly tough bunch of stones. “The time you get on the hammers depends on the conditions you’re working in. If it’s mainly brush clearing with a little bit of rock, the hammers will last 500 to 600 hours,” Lovegrove said. “ The Supersoil 225 can’t be

expected to do the work of the Maxisoil, but you can use it as a one-pass bush clearing machine. You put the bucket into the poplar or willows above ground and drop the rotor down to ground level and start moving. “The company that owns these machines does a lot of custom work, and some of the farmers who buy these machines are doing custom work to recover their investment.” Prices on the Seppi M crushers on display at AIM were $250,000 to $400,000. ron.lyseng@producer.com

RESIDUE MANAGEMENT

Mulcher flails the dickens out of trash LEFT: The Germanbuilt Muthing mulcher uses a three-point hitch and 1,000 r.p.m. power take-off to run the flail motor.

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

LANGHAM, Sask. — Mechanical mulching with a flailing implement is one way to deal with crop residue that hasn’t yet received much attention in Western Canada. Waldemar Heidebrecht of Prairie AgriSales in Lowe Farm, Man., wants to change that. He has begun importing the G e r m a n - b u i l t Mu t h i n g f l a i l mulcher, a 23-foot wide implement that uses dozens of threepound flails to beat biomass into submission. Centrifugal force of the spinning shaft causes the hinged flails to fly out into the working position. “The flail shaft turns at 1,000 r.p.m., so the material gets plenty of action, but the flails do not penetrate the soil. At their lowest setting, they simply skim the surface. You can adjust from one inch above the ground up to five inches above the ground,” Heidebrecht said. “It’s good for corn growers with the B.t. stalks. It does a perfect job on the stalks. It opens the corn stalks and busts them up so it takes away the chance of getting the corn beetle. The stalk decomposes right away. It’s not laying there for many years. Of course, it doesn’t touch the root ball. “The higher settings for mulching are pretty welcomed by the organic farmers. The normal farmers want a shorter residue. They want to chop it down to pieces one inch long.” The mulcher uses a three-point hitch and 1000 r.p.m. power takeoff to run the flail motor. Power requirements are 250 to 350 horsepower. Heidebrecht said it’s easy to go from field mode to transit mode

because the mulcher is designed for Europe. “Ground speed is from two m.p.h.

to nine m.p.h.,” he said. “The slower you go, the longer the material stays in the machine. If

you go slow, you can mulch really heavy high residue. The machine actually makes a vacuum to bring

the material up into the flails.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

system that automatically sets the tangential threshing system on straw walker and hybrid machines. It sets the drum speed and the concave gap for optimum results in the current harvest conditions, depending on the strategy entered into the system by the operator. All controllers communicate with each other. For example, the feeder controller operates via a special communication module to control the throughput relative to the threshing controller, as well as the separation and cleaning controllers. Another module in the system is Auto Threshing, which for the first time completes the complex technical step to implement fully automated threshing. On this combine, users no longer need to know which settings they have to make to get the desired results. Instead, they enter the harvesting strategy, which is then used by the auto-learning system to optimize all parameters. Kemper and John Deere developed the StalkBuster, which is the

It is the only machine on the market that destroys all the stubble before it is driven on by the forage harvester or the tractor and trailer. Thirty percent of the stubble usually remains intact, and as the corn borer winters inside it, a high percentage of undestroyed stubble offers the pest a haven so it can

infest the area again the following year. The new topper is integrated in the header, is relatively lightweight and has a relatively low power input requirement. This means no extra limitations apply for legal road transport. The Kemper StalkBuster is a technical solution that offers benefits for users, their productivity and the environment.

COMBINE

Agco launches Ideal combine across three brands BY CHRIS MCCULLOUGH FREELANCE WRITER

U.S. machinery giant Agco has just launched a new combine that will be marketed across three brands: Challenger, Fendt and Massey Ferguson. It is a new-generation rotary combine range that Agco says promises a major step forward in performance and productivity for business-orientated farmers. In the United Kingdom the combine will primarily be offered by Massey Ferguson, although the machines will remain identical through the three brands. The combines are said to have the biggest grain tank in the world, and

although the official price will not be released until Agritechnica in November, Agco has already said it will be expensive. New features on this combine include single and dual rotary threshing systems and include the 451 horsepower MF Ideal 7, 538 h.p. MF Ideal 8 and 647 h.p. MF Ideal 9, plus ParaLevel versions. “The Ideal from Massey Ferguson range signals a radical new direction for our combine development,” said Adam Sherriff, market development manager with Massey Ferguson Harvesting. “It included production of 45 prototypes and six years of continuous lab and global field tests. Everything about the machines is

new: new design, new engineering, new features, new styling, even a brand-new livery in stunning graphite. “Added to this, the 647 h.p MF Ideal 9 represents a totally new market segment for Massey Ferguson.” The 4.84 metre Dual Helix rotor fitted to the MF Ideal 8 and MF Ideal 9 is the longest in the industry. It provides the largest threshing area in the business. At the same time, it benefits from very low power requirements and insensitivity to varying crop conditions, leading to fuel efficiency, low grain losses and gentle handling of grain and straw. The combines feature 354 and 485 bushel grain tanks. Reducing the frequency of unloading for improved efficiency, the 485 bu.

option is the largest currently available with approximately 18 percent more capacity than the largest available today. Featuring 406 bu. per second unloading rates, the combine’s Streamer 210 option, at 210 litres

per second, is the fastest available. As for transport width, even the largest MF Ideal 9 with 800 millimetre tires or new 660 mm inhouse designed track option can meet a 3.3 metre overall width requirement.

Hydraulic reverser takes headache out of tightly plugged cylinder BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — A plugged threshing cylinder throws cold water on your spirits and sometimes gives you more than just a pain in the neck. A faster, easier reverser is the best remedy. That’s the conclusion Richard Arnold came to a few years ago when working to unplug his CX8070. The Hamiota, Man., farmer pinched a nerve in his neck pulling on the standard factory wrench that’s intended to reverse the cylinder. The incident resulted in pain and tingling in his arm that took more than a year to heal. A faster, easier reverser was clearly the best way to prevent a repeat of the injury. Working with his son, Douglas, over a three year period, they developed the AI-100CX Reverser. Douglas said the manual wrench that comes with the combine is simply not up to the task of moving a tight plug. “Instead of the manual wrench, our ratcheting reversal system has

a long handle that lets you lift it up to the end of the pulley. It plumbs into the combine’s regular hydraulics. The spool valve lets you push it

back and forth,” he said. “You rock the cylinder back and forth to break up the lump, then engage the ratchet in reverse to turn it out of the cylinder. We can get a slug out in one-tenth the time it takes with the manual wrench, and that’s an economic factor. It keeps the combine working.” Arnold Innovations make the reversers for New Holland and Claas Lexion combines. On Claas Lexion combines, it installs the reverser on the right side because that’s the strongest place for it. Using the same basic ratchet system originally developed for New

RON LYSENG PHOTO

Holland combines, the AI-100 Lexion Reverser eliminates the need to loosen the belts or use a rope to pull back on the cylinder. The Lexion kit includes a new pulley hub. The kit costs $3,500 to $4,000, depending on whether it is for high hydraulic pressure or low hydraulic pressure.

No luck of the Irish on Nuttall farm After his herd was depopulated due to bovine tuberculosis, farmer’s flock of Suffolk sheep was hit with toxoplasmosis BARBARA DUCKWORTH IS ON ASSIGNMENT IN ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND IRELAND AND WILL BE FILING REPORTS ON AGRICULTURE, BREXIT AND OTHER TOPICS IN COMING ISSUES.

NEWTOWNMOUNTKENNEDY, Ireland — Pat Nuttall’s family has been farming the same piece of land in Ireland for 250 years, but he fears he may be the last generation. He loves the land in Wicklow County, but he is up against the same challenges many other modern farmers face. Located a half hour from downtown Dublin, a city of more than two million, there are urban-rural pressures, market volatility and a younger generation less interested in farming. He and his schoolteacher wife, Fiona, have a four-year-old son who can make his own decisions about the future. “Would I encourage him? No. We are the last generation of full- time farmers in this area because there is nothing in it,” he said in an interview at his kitchen table in a home that is more than 200 years old. “If a farm comes up for sale around here, it will be a rich person that buys it. It won’t be a farmer.” Inflated land prices following the Irish real estate boom 10 years ago made it impossible for people like Nuttall to expand his 300 acres. The wealthy surround the family farm, and his neighbours include people like actor Daniel Day Lewis, sports stars and a member of the band U2. However, the relationships are amicable as both sides work on being good neighbours. The illustrious neighbours have lived in the region long enough to understand livestock makes noise, stray dogs may get shot and manure has to be spread. The family also deals with market unpredictability. Lamb and beef prices are shaky, and the recent volatility of the English pound sterling versus the euro forces creative measures to boost the family’s income. Nevertheless, Nuttall had no doubt he wanted to farm. He left the farm at age 11 to attend boarding school for six years. He then went to agriculture college and travelled in Australia before returning to take over the farm in 1995. The European Union was offering a payout to retiring farmers so his father took the package and Nuttall was able to make a smooth transition within about six months. “We were the first people in this area to do early retirement,” he said.

Pat Nuttall believes he will be the last generation of full-time farmers in his area near Dublin, Ireland. If land comes up for sale it will be a rich person who buys it, not a farmer, he says. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTO He had three good years but in 1998 a single cow reacted to a routine bovine tuberculosis test. His entire cow herd of about 100 was depopulated. He was compensated but TB is a sore point for him. Decades ago the owner of the nearby Mount Kennedy estate imported a non-native herd of Sika deer for hunting, which eventually started to mix with the native red deer. While the British Isles conducts an annual badger cull because these are considered a disease reservoir, farmers struggled to convince the department of agriculture that the deer were also carrying TB. Three years ago the government agreed to test more than 100 from the area and about 16 percent were positive for the disease. “It is a can of worms the department doesn’t know what to do with,” he said. “They laughed at us for years, but until we had scientific proof they realized we are in trouble.” There are no natural predators in Ireland, and most of the deer were controlled with hunting. At one time poverty stricken people started poaching the deer at night to sell the venison. “You could shoot a deer and get 50 quid for it and get paid a bit of money,” he said. The government clamped down and created a national park to con-

trol poaching and the deer started to roam. “The deer are out of control,” he said. “They are in our forage, and we had one last year sleeping in the middle of the lawn during the day.” As if TB was not enough, in 1999 his flock of Suffolk cross sheep was struck with toxoplasmosis, a contagious disease that causes abortions. About 160 ewes of his flock of around 450 lost their lambs. He got back on his feet and today he has about 460 ewes and his beef herd is about 120 head with 40 to 50 cows of Limousin-Friesian breeding. The cows are docile and moderate in size and produce plenty of milk. “Most of the suckler herds in Ireland would be Limo cross Friesians,” he said. “Some people are going three-

quarter bred, but with our system I just feel you can get a half-bred and they are quiet.” The cows are bred to a Black Angus bull, and calving is scheduled for January and August. Cattle are housed indoors during the cold, rainy winter months, but he does not have big enough facilities to contain them all in the calving shed, so he splits the herd into two calving groups. The fall calvers deliver outdoors. The fall calves are sold at around 24 months of age in December, while the spring crop goes to market at around 20 months of age in April or May. The males are castrated when calves are a week old, and everything receives two ear tags as part of the national traceability scheme. Most of his cows are solid black, so he freeze brands the last three or four digits of their unique identification number on the shoulder to help recognize and sort them in the pasture. Branding is not common in Ireland. T h e s h e e p a re a l s o h o u s e d indoors during winter and live on slatted floors so the manure can drop through to a slurry pit.

They also hire two or three agriculture students during this busy time.

The lambs receive a colour coded management tag based on the year they were born. The breeding stock is identified with an electronic tag at one year of age. The lambs go to market at 40 to 60 kilograms live weight, and probably 40 percent of the meat goes to France. Grass finished All the livestock is finished on grass. Most of the land is seeded to tame grasses and clover. Very little alfalfa is grown in Ireland. The region might receive a metre of moisture in a normal year, but this year has been dry and he only received 700 millimetres. The grass is growing slowly, and water wells are low. Manure is used for fertilizer, and Nuttall soil tests every four or five years. The region is low in phosphorus and potassium as well as cobalt, copper and iodine. The cows receive loose mineral supplements to make up for the shortfall. He has about 35 acres of natural forest, but he has been actively planting trees as part of an environmental project and eventual logging opportunities. In 1995 he put in 28 acres of larch, spruce, oak and beech trees that can also be harvested for timber. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

TB TRACEABILITY

Source of TB in Alta. herd may remain unknown TRACE-IN TESTING PROCESS FOR BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The source of bovine tuberculosis found in six Alberta cattle last year may never be found. It’s a perplexing aspect to a situation that affected many ranchers in Alberta’s southeastern region near Jenner and Saskatchewan ranchers along the nearby provincial border. Approximately 11,500 animals have been killed to ensure eradication of the disease, and another 17,500 have been released from quarantine since the start of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s response. Almost all animals that left the index herd have been traced, tested and dealt with, but it’s still a mystery how a cow from southeastern Alberta contracted TB and was confirmed with the illness after being shipped to a U.S. packing plant. The route to potentially solving that mystery is a catch-22, said Karin Schmid, beef production specialist with Alberta Beef Producers. “We would all really like to know where it came from, and another positive might give us some more information to that end,” she said. “But then it starts the cycle all over again, right? So that new herd would then have to be investigated with trace-outs and trace-ins and direct contacts and fence-line contacts, and all of those other animals and other producers could potentially be affected, and I don’t think that’s a situation we want to be in either.” Failure to identify the source in cases of bovine TB is not unusual,

After performing some diagnostic screening tests on the herd, an inspector injects tuberculin into the animal’s skin. After 72 hours, the cattle’s skin is tested. Any lesions with suspicious bacteria are tested for bovine TB DNA.

KARIN SCHMID ALBERTA BEEF PRODUCERS

Schmid added. For example, 2011 discovery of the illness in British Columbia cattle did not lead to any identification of the source. In last year’s case, many ranchers saw their herds destroyed and their incomes and activities drastically affected by the CFIA’s TB eradication efforts. Only recently have some begun to buy cattle and rebuild their herds, after a disinfection process and fallow period during which no animals were present on affected areas of their premises. Those who have restocked will have their stock re-tested in coming months to ensure absence of the disease. The CFIA’s latest report indicates 10 premises are still under quarantine and 96 have been released from quarantine. T h e a g e n c y ’s nu m b e r s a re somewhat confusing, noted Schmid, because they don’t refer to specific ranch operations but rather to pastures or even parts of pastures where potentially affected cattle once lived. Work still remains on trace-ins, which are cattle that entered the

Samples are sent for testing and cultured for 12 weeks. Any bacterial growth is tested for bovine TB DNA.

If the skin test is negative, no further testing is needed. A supplemental blood test is done on any reactors. If the skin test is positive, a blood sample is drawn and tested for tuberculosis.

If all the cattle test negative, the herd can be released from quarantine.

Any herd that tests positive will be slaughtered and tissue samples collected for ﬁnal conﬁrmation.

index herds. The CFIA has identified 80 premises to be tested and is working with owners to manage that at a convenient time. Those operations will not be quarantined until testing begins. “Basically (operations with traceins are) considered the same risk as all the other cattle in Canada because ideally, if it was simmering away in another herd, our surveillance at slaughter should have caught it,” said Schmid. “The process is a little different for the trace-in herds. When we’re in the infected and trace-out, those higher risk cattle, we were trying to spread the net as wide as we could to make sure we didn’t miss any-

thing. “The testing process that we’re going to use on the trace-in cattle, (we want to) make sure that we narrow down the number of false positives so that hopefully not very many producers will have to actually go through the full culture process (and) be under quarantine for 14 weeks.” Testing has shown that the strain of TB identified in the index Alberta herd is closely related to one first identified in Mexico in 1997. That doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a Mexican connection, said Schmid. The same strain has been found in U.S. cattle. “Just because it was first identi-

fied in Mexico does not necessarily mean that was the place the strain originated. We may have had it all along, (although) I don’t necessarily think that’s the case.” Some Alberta ranchers in the affected region suspected tuberculosis spread to cattle from the large elk herd resident on Canadian Forces Base Suffield, but testing of elk killed on the base during hunting season found no traces of the disease. Schmid said the CFIA and Alberta government are now collaborating on a strategy for TB surveillance in wildlife. barb.glen@producer.com

tested positive for bovine tuberculosis » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE This year he is adding eight more acres of spruce. The forestry initiative was a 20 year tax free income program and Nuttall wanted another revenue stream. “It was EU money. I am a happy European for stuff like that. It was basically marginal land,” he said. Nuttall is a supporter of quality assurance programs and is a part of the Irish sustainability program Origin Green. These are voluntary, but it is almost impossible to market commodities without being on an audited program that oversees animal care, pasture management and environmental stewardship. Two rivers pass through the farm before flowing into a reservoir to supply Dublin with drinking water. “We have got to be squeakier than squeaky clean, and it is logical because if we don’t mind our land, we won’t have our land,” he said. The land is green and scenic under the family’s stewardship. The BBC television network used

this farm and the house last year for the production of a six part series called Redwater, a spinoff of the Eastenders soap opera. More than 60 cast and crew moved onto the property for 20 days in total. The crew arrived at the end of lambing and the family worried about the intrusion. “We just lived with them and carried on,” he said. The crew moved out all their furniture, repainted the interiors, built a new porch and added a grand flower bed, lane and an iron sculpture made from scrap on the farm. The family enjoyed the experience and now see potential to offer the place for future productions. They hobnobbed with the cast and ate with the crew. Nuttall said he was impressed with the food quantity and quality. “The only problem was they had fish on the menu every day. I don’t eat fish. It doesn’t have legs.”

BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHEA

BVD virus can cause congenital brain condition ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

he other day one of my veterinary students showed me a video on his smartphone of a calf from his father’s ranch. The calf was walking with a very unusual gait in which its movements seemed somewhat exaggerated. All four limbs were affected and the calf seemed to sway while walking.

I couldn’t give any definitive diagnosis by just looking at the video, but one possibility that we considered was that this condition might be caused by a disorder of the cerebellum. The cerebellum is a structure at the back of the brain, tucked under its two main hemispheres. The name is Latin for “little brain” and is also sometimes referred to as the hind brain. The cerebellum plays an important role in control of motion and helps to regulate and control muscle movement and co-ordination.

Animals with cerebellar problems are often diagnosed at a very young age. They will show clinical signs such as an exaggerated gait in all four limbs. In fact, all voluntary movements may be exaggerated. In addition, they may stand with their legs in a wide based stance and show other nervous symptoms such as a head tremor, head tilt and unusual eye movements. The most common way that the cerebellum is affected is through a viral infection. Bovine viral diarrhea virus is the

usual suspect when we see these symptoms in young calves. It is a common virus in cattle throughout North America and can result in many different aspects of disease, depending on the timing of infection and the age of the animal, such as diarrhea, abortion and in this case congenital defects of the cerebellum. If the fetus becomes infected with BVD virus between 40 and 120 days gestation, this infection will coincide with the development of the fetal calf’s immune system. O ne of the first tasks of the immune system is to recognize the normal tissues and cells of the calf so that it will not develop antibodies and attack itself. The calf ’s immune system will

not recognize BVD virus as “foreign” if it is present, and although the calf may be born completely normal, it will be tolerant to BVD virus or persistently infected. These persistently infected calves are permanent carriers of the virus. They are often the source of BVD outbreaks and excrete copious quantities of the virus in their saliva and manure. The calf will not develop immunity to BVD virus but will always be a carrier and shedder of the virus. In some cases, these calves are poor doers with stunted growth, but they can also appear completely normal. Only .3 to .4 percent of calves in North America are persistently infected w ith BVD vir us, but these animals can cause devastating results if they enter a herd and spread the virus among cattle that are not appropriately vaccinated. In the scenario where the cerebellum is affected, these calves are also infected as a fetus but are exposed to the virus at 125 to 180 days gestation, just after the timing where the virus would cause a persistent infection. When the virus infects a pregnant unvaccinated cow at this stage of gestation, the BVD virus causes a failure in development of the cerebellum, and these calves can be born with varying levels of cerebellar dysfunction. In some cases, we see these calves also affected with cataracts on their eyes. They are not usually persistently infected with BVD virus and as a result, the normal skin test that we use to identify infected calves will probably give a negative result. There are certainly other things that can cause cerebellar dysfunction in calves besides BVD virus. Schmallenberg virus was first recognized in northern Europe in 2011 and caused outbreaks of disease in adult cattle and abortions and stillbirths in sheep, cattle and goats. Many of the young animals affected had brain abnormalities with cerebellar damage. This virus is not yet present in North America and is carried by biting insects such as midges and mosquitoes. There are also rare hereditary conditions in some breeds of cattle that can result in damage to the cerebellum. An appropriate BVD vaccination program can easily prevent the persistent infection of BVD virus and the cerebellum condition caused by BVD virus. In both cases, we are vaccinating the cow to ideally protect the fetus from the infection. The most effective means of control is to vaccinate the cow herd before the breeding period with a modified live viral vaccine, but other approaches can also be used, depending on the management of the herd. Most vaccines have been proven to provide reasonably good levels of fetal protection if used appropriately. Consult with your veterinarian to design a strategy that fits your herd’s management system.

New Morris ownership focuses on western Canadian roots New investment group hopes to expand market and invest more in research and development BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Morris Industries Ltd. has a new chief executive officer and a new majority shareholder. The Saskatoon-based farm implement manufacturer announced Sept. 5 that Ben Voss will take over as the company’s top executive, replacing former CEO and majority shareholder Casey Davis. Voss and Davis made a joint decision to transition majority ownership to a group of investors led by Voss. Voss, who has been president of Morris since 2015, is backed by private investors Avrio Capital and Lamont Brown Group, both headquartered in Calgary. Avrio has been an active investor in agricultural and food innovation and technology for the past 15 years. The Morris transaction marks one of its largest investments to date. Lamont Brown Group is a family owned company started by Keith Brown, founder of Trailtech Inc. Davis will remain a minority shareholder of Morris and will also remain on the board of directors in an advisory role to the company. “I am truly honoured and excited

today to be part of the next chapter of what is a historic and iconic company,” said Voss in a Sept. 5 news release. “The company’s founder, Mr. George Morris, had a vision to help farmers be more productive, and he applied a great deal of innovation and ingenuity to his products and the way he manufactured them. I want to continue that tradition and build on that great legacy with even more innovation and success.” Voss said the change in ownership is something that he and Davis have been working on for the past two years or so. He said he and Davis were committed to keeping Morris in Western Canada with western Canadian ownership. “We really wanted this to remain a western Canadian owned and

headquartered company and we wanted to stay true to our roots, so this (deal) allows us to do that.” The transition marks a significant commitment to growth and reinvestment in the company, he added. In April, Morris Industries received $4 million in federal funding to upgrade and modernize manufacturing technologies and production processes at its plants in Western Canada. Mor r is is headquar tered in Saskatoon but has manufacturing facilities in Yorkton, Sask., and Minnedosa, Man. New products coming Wi t h t h o s e m a n u f a c t u r i n g upgrades now in place, the company will focus on increasing operational efficiencies, expanding its product line and increasing sales in North America and abroad. Details of the ownership detail were not disclosed, but Voss said the company’s growth strategy could eventually involve the addition of new staff with a focus on technological innovation and expanding engineering capacity. “The plan for the next five to 10 years … (will include) putting even

more investment into research and development, more investment into our factories and coming out with lots of new products,” he said. “We’re going to be launching a new product on the hay hauling segment, so that will be coming in the near future … and in the medium term — I’d say in the next six to 12 months — we’ll be coming out w i t h q u i t e a s i g n i f i c a nt n e w advancement on the seeding side, so we’re quite excited about the things that are coming.” New products will fall into industry segments where Morris already has an established reputation, namely seeding and tillage, and hay hauling. Morris Industries Ltd. was founded in 1924 and is one of Western Canada’s longest-established short-line agricultural equipment manufacturers. Its current product line includes air carts, air drills, air seeders, packer harrow bars and bale carriers. About half of the company’s revenue is generated through export sales to countries such as Australia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia, Argentina and Western Europe. brian.cross@producer.com

LIFETIME EXEMPTIONS

Proposed tax changes limit capital gains exemption claims MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

he federal government’s controversial proposals to change the tax laws for private corporations would have a big impact on farmers. The government says there are inequities in the taxation benefits available to a wage earner versus those available to the owner of a private corporation who has funded the capital risk. The proposed changes would affect income sprinkling, holding passive investments inside a private corporation and converting income into capital gains. This article will examine some elements of the legislative proposal that specifically affect the farming community. Because the legislation is very complex, analyzing how it might

apply to you should be done with the assistance of your professional tax or financial adviser. As you are most likely aware, the Income Tax Act provides a deduction in computing the taxable income related to capital gains from the disposition of qualified farm or fishing property. There is a similar deduction available from the disposition of qualified small business corporation shares, and they are collectively referred to as the lifetime capital gains exemption. Proposed changes to the act limit the amounts that may be deducted under the lifetime exemption after 2017 and include a new set of conditions that must be met. The intention of the change is

to prevent the multiplication of the lifetime exemption through tax planning strategies where eligible taxable capital gains are realized by family members of a business principal who have not effectively contributed to the business. Targeted conditions include: • No amount will be deductible under the lifetime exemption if the benefitting individual hasn’t turned 17 before the year claimed. • An individual may not claim the exemption if the gain arose from the disposition of property (whether held by the individual or another person or partnership) before the beginning of the year that the individual turned 18.

This speaks to carving out values for the business while children are minors and may be difficult to administer in coming years. Farmers might be the first to question that the input provided by children to the growth of the farm asset has virtually no value to the enterprise. • If the taxable capital gain that arises from the disposition of a property is included in computing an individual’s split income (a.k.a. “Kiddie Tax”), then the amount that the individual can deduct under the lifetime exemption for the year is reduced by twice the amount included in computing the individual’s split income.

This rule prevents an individual from claiming a portion of the exemption using the reasonableness tests that apply in determining the individual’s split income. Additional changes to the act relate to accrued gains from trusts and property transferred from trusts which, according to the government, are considered substitutes to the more direct claims described above. However, the government does appear intent on changing the rules of how farmers and other businesses can claim deductions from private corporations.

ACQUISITION

Agropur takes full ownership of Ultima Foods SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian dairy processors Agropur Co-operative and Agrifoods International Co-operative Ltd. have an agreement for Agropur to become the sole owner of Ultima Foods Inc. Ultima Foods was a 50-50 joint venture of the two co-ops. The financial terms were not released. Ultima Foods makes about 30 percent of the yogurt consumed in Canada, including the iögo and Olympic brands, which registered industry-leading growth last year. “This is a very positive transaction as it will create the optimal condition for Ultima Foods’ development and will enable the company to remain in the hands of Canadian dairy producers,” said Tim Hofstra, president and chair of Agrifoods Ultima Foods employs about 660 people in Canada and operates plants in Granby, Que., and Delta, B.C. The acquired business has total annual sales of more than $300 million. The transaction will augment Agropur’s range of products in the fresh dairy market, and Ultima Foods will continue to be the only national Canadian-owned yogurtmaker. This deal is subject to obtaining the usual authorizations, including those of the Competition Bureau. Ultima announced in June that it was spending $14.4 million to install a drinkable yogurt production line and to optimize operations at its Granby plant. Ultima provided $10.8 million while Investissesment Quebec contributed a $3.6 million interestfree loan.
