A STOLEN BLIND GOAT GOES HOME

Best-laid plans couldn’t offset punishing drought BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Dallas Moneo learned that ageold farming lesson in 2017: a growing season usually begins with optimism but sometimes ends in disappointment. The 24-year-old is the fourth generation of a farming family near Assiniboia, Sask., but this year was the first that he rented land in his own name. “You can’t throw in the towel in year one,” he said, reflecting on the year that was. “It’s a wake-up call. It’s not always easy.” In a Facebook post that was shared worldwide, Moneo explained what happened. “This is some of our heaviest land,” he wrote. “We planted durum on this 700-acre field. “We used variable rate technology, which means we had a prescription written based on satellite imagery so our air drill can maximize returns by placing different rates of seed and fertilizer throughout the field.” SEE HARVEST HEARTBREAK, PAGE 5

CROP RESEARCH

Industry sets research priorities New report from Canadian wheat industry calls for more acres, higher yields BY BRIAN CROSS

The Canadian wheat industry has released a new report that sets out a list of goals and research priorities that are aimed at ensuring a more profitable and sustainable future for growers, processors and exporters. The 20-page report, entitled Canadian Wheat Research Priori-

ties 2017, identifies wheat research priorities under five broadly defined themes that call for higher wheat yields, improved wheat yield reliability, more sustainable cropping systems, continuous improvements in the area of food safety and the production and delivery of wheat products that consistently meet customers’ quality needs. The report sets out a variety of

ambitious goals and measures within those five themes. Among other things, the report calls for: • average Canadian wheat yields to increase by two bushels per acre every five years • a 10 percent increase in net returns to farmers that grow wheat • a 50 percent reduction in the

number of Canadian wheat samples that exceed industry limits for harmful mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and ochratoxin • expanded use of wheat varieties that offer moderate resistance to high priority diseases such as fusarium SEE RESEARCH PRIORITIES, PAGE 4

WATERTON FIRE

Rebuilding from the ashes Neighbours reached out to help neighbours in southwestern Alberta after a devastating wildfire BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

WATERTON, Alta. — The new posts and shiny barbed wire stand in stark contrast to the scorched earth beneath them. This is fence that will allow ranchers in southwestern Alberta to begin recovering from a devastating wildfire that burned five properties and has eaten an estimated 90,000 acres of ranchland, forest and national park. However, this sturdy new fence also symbolizes the way neighbours help neighbours in rural Alberta. “When you’ve got neighbours like this, it makes things a lot easier,” said Cal Wellman, a rancher who lost his barns, tractor, fences, 250 tons of hay and more than two sections of grass. “I’m astounded that so many people came out. This is just absolutely amazing. These people have come out to support us.… They’re building the fences all back up today. It’s going to be an awful difference here in just two days. I’m astounded at how many people showed up, really.” A work bee organized by the Twin Butte, Alta., area community was organized Sept. 23-24. More than 300 people showed up Sept. 23 and at least another 150 Sept. 24, said Kathy Flundra, who helped keep track of the many volunteers. “Yesterday (Sept. 23) we had 306, to be exact, and some did not register. There was a lot of people with heavy equipment that I’m sure didn’t sign in because they had already started and were very busy. “It’s really amazing, what everybody has done. There’s lots and lots of fence and everybody came and cleaned up all the yard sites. We’ve put in miles and miles of fence already.” Flundra said volunteers came from all over the Twin Butte and Pincher Creek region, as well as Lethbridge, Claresholm, Milk River and Lethbridge. Mac McRae was working a post pounder Sept. 24 as he and a crew installed posts south of the Jenkins ranch, which lost homes, outbuildings, corrals and feed in the fire. McRae lost property in another nasty wildfire in the Milk River region in 2012. Volunteers came then to help rebuild fence so he returned the favour. Logan Gertner was thinking of the situation in the Claresholm, Alta., area where he ranches. “The shoe could be on the other foot tomorrow. It could be our place (that burns.) So we came. We got put on the rolling-up-burnedfence crew.” The fire ban imposed on much of southern Alberta this summer was also in effect in his area. Little rain has fallen anywhere in the southwest, although there was some snow in higher elevations last week.

The couple weren’t home when the evacuation order came in the wee hours of Sept. 12, but their son was there and escaped just in time. “We were told, the word they used

was, our place was incinerated. Everything melted inside,” she said. “We weren’t able to recover much. The blessing is, my son’s alive. In the big picture, the rest is just stuff.” The Waterton fire continues to burn in parts of the national park and regions to the west. It has been downgraded to “being held” as opposed to “out of control,” and fire

crews continue to douse hot spots. Donations for those affected by the fire are being accepted via the Twin Butte community group at TwinButte.Recovers.org. Financial contributions can be made at ATB branches. Other fundraising events are also being planned. barb.glen@producer.com

RESEARCH PRIORITIES » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 • more varieties that offer enhanced nutrient use efficiency • development of wheat cultivars that offer improved resistance to insects, drought, heat, cold and excess moisture • a 15 percent increase in the number of rotations that include wheat The report was developed by the Canadian Wheat Research Task Force and released jointly by Cereals Canada and Agriculture Canada. “The report is the path forward to ensuring that wheat is going to be a profitable crop for all parts of the value chain, from farmers and seed developers up through end users and processors,” said Cam Dahl, executive director of Cereals Canada. The goals and measures are objectives that “we feel, right now, need to be accomplished in order to have that profitability.” Dahl said the report and the process used to develop it were unique in that it included representation from across the wheat value chain. Approximately 40 individuals representing producers, government, wheat industry researchers and private-sector organizations participated in the process. Broad participation presented challenges in terms of reaching a consensus on priority issues, Dahl said. However, it also ensured a report that was inclusive and comprehensive, touching all the issues that are key to the industry’s success, he said. “I’m not going to say that if every objective contained in the report is not met, then all bets are off for wheat in Canada. That’s of course not the case, “ Dahl said. “But what we wanted to do as

an industry was reach a little bit further and help to ensure that Canada is a centre for investment in wheat research and development.” The report identifies wheat as a critically important crop to Canadian farmers. Total wheat production in Canada averaged more than 30 million tonnes per year between 2012 and 2016. During the same period, the crop generated gross farm receipts of approximately $7 billion per year. At the same time, the industry continues to face challenges. Although average Canadian wheat yields have increased by 1.4 percent per year since the mid-1990s, domestic acreage has declined by close to 15 percent over the past two decades, largely because of global wheat surpluses, lower prices for high quality wheat and declining farm profits relative to other crops. The report also cites studies that link a one degree increase in global temperatures with a six percent drop in global wheat production. Dahl said expanded production in other wheat producing regions has had a significant impact on the economics of producing wheat in Canada. For that reason, the Canadian industry must use innovation and research to differentiate Canadian wheat. “It’s not that long ago that (the Black Sea region) only exported about six million tonnes of wheat per year … and now they’re exporting 50 million.” Ron DePauw, a renowned Canadian wheat breeder, said it is important to assess priorities and identify the steps that are needed to ensure a healthy industry. brian.cross@producer.com

CROP DISEASE

A minute spent scouting could save your field The best time to scout canola for blackleg is just before or after swathing BY BRIAN CROSS

BLACKLEG FIELD RATING SCALE

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Late September is a hectic time of year for grain and oilseed producers, and there aren’t many farmers who have the time or patience to fit another task into their already-busy harvest agendas. But taking a few minutes to monitor canola fields for signs of blackleg is one of the most beneficial and least expensive investments a producer can make. “Blackleg scouting hasn’t been a key priority for growers and agronomists in the past, but over the past couple of years, blackleg has been increasing,” said Errin Willenborg, research manager with SaskCanola. “We’ve noticed that on our provincial disease survey results, and because of that, we’ve really been encouraging growers and agronomists to be out there, scouting and looking for blackleg at this time of year.” The best time to scout canola fields for blackleg is just before swathing or immediately after. For many growers, the opportunity to scout has already passed. But for others — particularly those in the northern grain belt — there is still time. • At swathing time, pick five areas of each field and examine 10 to 20 plants in each area. • Pull plants by the roots and examine the root structures for clubroot galls. • After that, the stem of the plant can be cut with a pair of scissors or small garden shears. • Make the first cut at the base of the stem, just above where the root begins. • A clean cut will allow the vascular

tissue inside the stem to be examined. • Ideally, the tissue should be bright white. • Any blackening or discoloration is a sign that blackleg infection may be affecting yield. For example, if 10 percent of the plants have tissue discoloration that covers 25 to 50 percent of the stem’s cross section, this suggests that the blackleg phenotypes present in the soil may be immune to the blackleg resistance package contained in the canola variety being grown. Determining yield loss can be difficult, but it is assumed that each plant showing discoloration on 25 to 50 percent of the stem’s cross section will have at least 40 percent yield loss. Losses can be significantly higher in fields that have either a greater

incidence of infection (more plants infected), or a greater severity of infection (discolouration on a greater proportion of the stem’s cross-section). Assessing both the incidence and severity of blackleg infection is an inexpensive and reliable way to determine if growers should switch canola genetics to a variety that offers a different form of blackleg resistance. Severe infection levels that go undetected can result in significant financial losses if the same variety of canola is planted in subsequent years.

“It also helps with even maturity. We used an independent opener air drill, which is meant to precisely place the seed and fertilizer at a consistent depth throughout the field. “We used seed treatment to protect the seeds from bugs and disease during the germination stages. “We used very high rates of fertilizer as we were targeting high yields. “We applied the proper rates of chemical and had our timing right for weed control.” As it turned out, “throwing the groceries” to that field was for naught as it received just seventenths of rain in mid-June. “Half of the field didn’t even germinate, as we had heavy winds following the week after planting,” he said. “The wind dried out the furrows and the seed sat in the dirt idle for the duration of the growing season. “This year is a humble reminder that as a producer, the majority of our livelihood falls in Mother Nature’s hands and unfortunately this year she wasn’t very generous.” Across the country in Exeter, Ont., another young farmer also experienced her first official growing season with somewhat better results. “I grew up on a grain farm but this year was the first year I was financially invested in it and could call a piece of the crop my own,” said Lauren Benoit, who obtained an agriculture degree from the University of Guelph last year. While parts of Ontario experienced weather challenges, Benoit said she can’t complain about that in her area, even though living and working in agriculture has taught her to expect a weather setback. Her biggest challenge is going to be marketing the corn, winter wheat and soybeans from the farm. “The corn and soybeans are still on the fields,” she said last week. “Wheat came off lower than we

It is disappointing but there isn’t much we could have done as farmers to prevent it.” Both Benoit and Moneo have farming and the lifestyle in their blood. But both also recognize the gamble they will take each spring. Benoit is working on a master’s degree in weed science. Moneo has electrical engineering technology education and experience that he is using in Houston, Texas, helping with hurricane recovery efforts.

Alberta ag societies face funding crisis Community groups say funding cuts would be devastating to small town agricultural societies across the province BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta agricultural societies are in limbo as they await provincial government funding that is usually distributed in June. The province’s 284 primary agricultural societies share $8.67 million in government funds, which they use to operate various facilities including rural community hockey rinks, curling rinks and ball diamonds, and to finance events. The money was approved in the provincial budget during the March sitting of the provincial legislature so societies made their plans, said Tim Carson, chief executive officer of the Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies. “Everything seemed to be status quo. Unfortunately, there were some administrative delays, nothing significant, but probably a month ago now we heard that all of the programs that still had money left in them, in programs across all ministries, were under review, so

unfortunately our ag societies’ funding got caught up in that.” Carson said the agriculture minister’s office confirmed in early September that funding for ag societies would be reduced but did not provide an amount. Agriculture Minister Oneil Carlier said Sept. 25 that funds are forthcoming. “Funding for agricultural societies will be flowing in the coming weeks to support the work that they do,” he said in an email. “No final decisions have been made yet whether the usual amount will be reduced but we will stay in close contact with the agricultural societies over the coming weeks.” As they await funding, volunteers with some agriculture societies have contributed their own money to events with the expectation of reimbursement when government funding comes through. “Many of our organizations, they run the curling rinks and hockey rinks and things of that nature in rural (Alberta),” Carson said.

“They’re in a spot where they’re spending significant dollars to put those facilities into operation for the upcoming season and it’s another financial burden for them.” He said many societies went ahead with summer activities and events because they had no inkling funds would be delayed or reduced. “Recognizing that these organizations are not running on a major profit margin or anything like that, they don’t have the background revenue to carry them through all of the things that go on.” The situation got the attention of the United Conservative Party caucus, which issued a news release Sept. 20 urging the NDP government to provide the 2017 operational grants. “Losing agricultural society funding would be devastating to the small town agricultural societies of Alberta, if not completely putting

them out of business,” said UCP agriculture critic Dave Schneider in the news release. Carson said the societies are now in a holding pattern. The AAAS informed them of the situation via letter earlier this month and has also provided information to the government about ag societies’ value. Ag societies own and operate approximately 700 facilities in Alberta with a replacement value estimated at $1.4 billion. Carson said a 2012 study showed Alberta ag societies use about 65,000 volunteers, who contribute 640,000 hours of labour. Valued at $20 per hour, that amounts to more than $12 million. The study also showed society events generate $53 million in local spending. “This isn’t chump change,” said Carson. “These are vital organizations to rural communities and they go by unnoticed. Now they’re

being unnoticed again.” Ag societies help to maintain rural communities, he added. “It’s truly the volunteers and organizations like ag societies that create the soul of the community, and the moment you start belittling that or ignoring the value … you start to hollow the community from the inside.” In his email, Carlier acknowledged that role. “I understand the good work that agricultural societies do. I’ve been to so many small and rural communities where these organizations improve the quality of life for rural Albertans. “As government, we will address the budget deficit in a thoughtful and responsible manner. We have to make some decisions on how best to use limited resources.” barb.glen@producer.com

Pea processors proliferate A host of new pea processing plants are expected to create huge domestic demand

Nice space, shame about the price BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pea growers are on the verge of seeing a massive new market materialize in their own backyard. If all the proposed pea fractionation and ethanol plants are built over the next couple of years, it will create 750,000 tonnes of new demand for the crop. Carl Potts, executive director of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, said that would be the third biggest market for the crop behind India and China. India bought 1.33 million tonnes of peas in 2016, while China bought one million tonnes. The next biggest customer was Bangladesh at 290,878 tonnes. Pulse ingredient processing facilities are suddenly all the rage on the Canadian Prairies. In September, Academy Award winning film director James Cameron unveiled his Verident Foods Inc. fractionation plant in Vanscoy, Sask. The plant is already operating and will process 160,000 tonnes of yellow peas once at full capacity. That is the latest in a growing list of projects that is reminiscent of

the start of the canola crushing renaissance. Roquette, a French plant-based ingredient maker, is building the world’s largest pea protein factory in Portage la Prairie, Man. The $400 million facility will use up to 250,000 tonnes of peas a year starting in 2019. A German company called Canadian Protein Innovation plans to build a $75 million pea fractionation plant in Moose Jaw, Sask., which will process 100,000 tonnes of peas a year into starch, protein and fibre. W.A. Grain and Pulse Solutions is building a $15 million addition to its processing plant in Bowden, Alta., which will have a flour mill, dry and wet fractionation lines and eventually a pet food ingredients plant. The first phase is expected to be operational next year. The plant will consume 100,000 tonnes of peas and lentils once at full capacity. Prairie Green Renewable Energy intends to build a $325 million ethanol plant in Clavet, Sask., which will use feed barley and feed peas to produce 196 million litres of the fuel annually. The plant would use 136,000 tonnes of

peas a year starting in 2020. The proposed plants, if all built, would create a new domestic market for 746,000 tonnes of pulses a year, with the vast majority of that being yellow peas. “It’s very significant,” said Potts. He said the proposed plants would go a long way toward meeting Pulse Canada’s goal of creating new demand for 25 percent of annual pulse production by 2025. The domestic demand is materializing at a time when Canada is facing stiff competition from the Black Sea region, where pulse production is rising. Potts said the demand is coming from food companies that are eager to incorporate plant-based protein into products to create healthier and more sustainable food. It is no longer a matter of having to convince them about the health and environmental benefits of using pulses. “They say, ‘we’re there. How do we get them into our products and what’s the available supply?’ ” Potts said all of the proposed plants may not come to fruition but others are likely in the pipe-

line, and that’s a good thing. “That will be helpful in furthering market development because companies may be more interested in making the switch and inclusion if they know there are multiple suppliers,” he said. Ad d i n g 7 5 0 , 0 0 0 t o n n e s o f domestic demand could help stabilize pea markets because it would be more consistent and less price sensitive than what exists in export markets, said Potts. As well, it eliminates the logistical risk factor of getting product to the West Coast for export. He thinks the food ingredient plants could be paying a premium for peas because they are being used to create a high-value product, and if that’s the case it could result in a surge in pea acres. Most of the proposed projects will use yellow peas as the raw material primarily because they are the cheapest pulse, but Potts believes fababeans will be another popular ingredient once farmers grow enough acres because they produce more protein per acre than peas. sean.pratt@producer.com

The good news is that hog farmers probably don’t have to worry about finding buyers for pigs this fall. The bad news is that there’s not much reason to hope for substantially higher prices. “We’ve still got to sell the pork,” said Hams Marketing’s Tyler Fulton when looking at the combination of low hog prices but solid and growing packer demand. “We’ll move it, but at what price?” A fleet of new packing plants in the United States is matching the increase in hogs going to market, and those plants will be increasing production throughout the last quarter of 2017. The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that fourth quarter pork production will top seven billion pounds, an unusually large increase of 5.7 percent over the same quarter in 2016. The fourth quarter of every year is white-knuckle time for hog producers because it is then that the market-ready supply of pigs can exceed packer capacity and collapse prices. Hog supply rises because the cool fall weather is ideal for growing pigs. They hit market weight as packing plants wind down for the holiday season. Unlike in most other agriculture industries, most hog producers can’t hold onto their commodity if there is a temporary oversupply. They need to ship as soon as pigs are fattened because incoming younger pigs need the barn space. Most pigs are shipped no matter what, so prices can quickly tumble. This fourth quarter is likely to see newly opened slaughter plants in Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan steadily increase production to near maximum output at 20,000 animals per day from a combined rate today of about 5,000 per day. “The trajectory of that build-in capacity has us not really concerned about our ability to get the hogs slaughtered,” said Fulton.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Jim Long, president of Genesus, a genetics and analysis firm, noted the security the larger packer capacity offers producers. “The extra capacity should support producers and the hog prices they receive,” said Long, estimating an average of US$55 per hundredweight. It could have been a lot worse. If any of the plants had failed to come online in time, pigs supplies could have backed up. U.S. farmers are producing about three percent more pigs at this time than a year ago. “If we had seen any delays we could be facing serious concerns,” said Long. U.S. farmers appear to be still increasing production, but another packing plant is set to open next year, so it should be some time b e f o re s l au g ht e r c a p a c i t y i s reached. Packers have been keen to kill every pig they can because of fat margins. “They’re still dealing with massive margins,” Fulton said. “Every packer has an incentive to be going gangbusters.” However, that incentive will likely soon weaken, Fulton said, with the new plants and flaccid export demand keeping packing demand strong but pork pricing power poor. Something will have to give, and Fulton thinks it will be packer margins. They won’t want to reduce production, but they won’t be able to demand strong prices from export buyers. “We’ll see those packer margins cut to a fraction of what they are now.” In a recent conference call with investors, a Hormel representative said the increasing number of pigs coming to market should remove pressure on packers to outbid each other for hogs. Hog futures on the Chicago market have been disappointing for producers for a long time. They haven’t risen above US$93 per cwt. since October 2014, and have generally traded in a $53 to $83 range. There has been price support around $60, but recently, futures fell lower than that, to $56 on Sept. 23. ed.white@producer.com

If you have high protein, big yields and the best quality, your wheat should be sitting pretty in this winter’s wheat market. But almost nobody harvested that, so farmers are now determining the best way to market their particular combination of quality, volume and protein. The shortage of rain during the summer in large parts of the spring wheat growing area had many expecting a mostly high protein crop, but it is turning out to be more variable. “It’s going to be an interesting year for spring wheat,” said Mike Krueger of the Money Farm in Fargo, North Dakota. Here are the interesting factors: • high protein/low yields in drought-ravaged parts of western North Dakota, Montana, southwestern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta • high yields/low protein in several regions, particularly the Red River Valley area of Manitoba and North Dakota • high quality almost everywhere “It’s way above normal protein,” said Krueger about the western North Dakota crop. The same appears to apply to Alberta spring wheat crops, according to Canadian Grain Commission grain quality manager Daryl Beswitherick, who has so far received about 4,000 grain samples, which is about half of what he eventually expects to see. Alberta spring wheat protein levels average 13.8 percent so far this year, up from 13.3 last year. The situation is reversed in Saskatchewan and Manitoba with Saskatchewan protein levels plunging to 12.8 percent this year from 13.5 percent last year, while Manitoba fell to 13.2 percent from 13.9 percent last year. However, eastern farmers will probably be happy because some of their yields are sky-high, and most is grading number one. “The yields are just fantastic,” said Beswitherick. “It’s the best ever. (In some areas) 13.2 (percent protein) with 70 to 80 bushels an acre (in the Red River Valley). I think the guys will take that.” Across the Prairies, 88 percent

Durum quality is also good with 72 percent grading No. 1 and 16 percent No. 2, but its protein is above average, benefitting from the drought that hit its growing area. The 10-year average for durum protein is 13 percent, but this year

it ranges from 13.5 percent for No. 1 to 16.3 percent for No. 5. That latter number comes from extreme drought stress, in which the plant produces protein but can’t supply much else into the seed. “ T h e y ’ re s h r u n k e n ,” s a i d Beswitherick about the droughtdamaged kernels. Farmers who have a good sense of what kind of a wheat crop they

will be marketing can now start watching the protein spreads to see what the market wants and when. “I thought we’d see a premium on low-protein wheat because so much would be high-protein, but with your (Canadian) crop coming in like this, I’m not so sure that’s going to happen,” said Krueger.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

NAFTA talks proceed in tense atmosphere MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

epending on whom you listen to, talks to renew the North American Free Trade Agreement are moving at “warp speed” or are “dragging.” Negotiators from the United States and Mexico came north this week to talk with their Canadian counterparts. The talks are going on in a atmosphere of heightened anxiety as American President Donald Trump and his top trade officials use aggressive language

and bluster not usually associated with these types of international discussions. But while the president’s tweets capture the headlines, bureaucrats and professional negotiators wading deep into the details do the real work behind the scenes. The meeting this week was the third session of an expected seven round process that is planned to wind up by December. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said the previous two rounds of negotiations had accomplished much and were moving at warp speed. Word from the Canadian camp is less enthusiastic, and news reports say they are awaiting specific American proposals on several key issues, leading to a CBC headline that the talks are dragging. However, Canadian negotiators

also say the talks are constructive. Some key issues of contention that have come to light are the binational panels under the agreement’s dispute settlement process as well as country-of-origin content in auto trade. Trump wants the panels in the dispute settlement system eliminated and rules requiring more U.S. content in vehicles. The dispute settlement process found in Chapter 19 of the agreement is very important. Back when the pact was originally negotiated, then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney threatened to pull out if it was not included. Of course, Canadian farmers are keenly interested in what will happen with this country’s supply management system. But as this column was written, that issue had not yet been addressed in the talks.

Until specifics are known, it is hard to know whether the talks will result in proposals that are modest or momentous. But it is worrisome that the Trump administration is approaching this process with a mindset that trade is a zero sum game — that any advantage one partner gains must be loss for the others. The original agreement was based upon the idea that improved trade could be the rising tide that lifts all boats. It is not a case of one country stealing jobs from another. Rather, the whole NAFTA region benefits from more efficient supply chains and economies of scale that help all of North America compete against the rest of the world. It is frustrating not to know the specifics of what is being worked out, but negotiators can’t make

headway if every issue becomes a matter of drawn out public debate. Whatever the result, much is at stake. In agriculture, trade within NAFTA is huge. In 2016, Canada exported $22.5 billion of agrifood products to the United States and imported $24.7 billion for a trade deficit of $2.2 billion, according to data from Agriculture Canada. Agrifood trade between Canada and United States has tripled in the 23 years that NAFTA has been in place. Our food trade with Mexico is much smaller but still important. We exported $1.73 billion and imported $2.44 billion.

PULSES

High quality lentil crop will weaken price but restore reputation BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pulse crop processors are relieved that this year’s crop is of exceptional quality. “Thank God,” said Greg Simpson, chief executive officer of Simpson Seeds, a lentil processor based in Moose Jaw, Sask. “It is definitely a blessing to have the quality we got.” Saskatchewan Agriculture estimates 37 percent of the lentil crop will grade No. 1 and 57 percent No. 2, while pea grades are 47 percent No. 1 and 49 percent No. 2. That is a far cry from last year

when more than half of the lentil crop graded Extra 3 or lower. Simpson said Canada’s reputation as a supplier of quality lentils took a beating last year. “I sat in on a quality meeting in July with all the importers of Canadian red lentils and they were complaining bitterly about the way we were shipping high levels of wrinkled and copper seeds,” he said. “We’re in the penalty box, so we have to show them good reason to come back to Canada.” Millers who usually experience a 15 percent loss when splitting red lentils were seeing double that. “These wrinkled seed coats, these

weathered seeds, these diseased seeds literally just explode in the process,” said Simpson. They paid a good price for Canadian red lentils, so when Australia harvested a good quality lentil crop that was twice as large as usual, buyers immediately switched suppliers. “I can barely get rid of a 2016 red lentil and there’s a few hundred thousand tonnes carried over,” he said. “It’s a tough sell.” It was the same story with green lentils. Canada lost the Laird market to good quality and far cheaper Richlea lentils out of the United States. Canada also lost market share to large green lentils out of the Black

Canada’s improved lentil crop quality means premiums for producing No. 2 and No. 1 product are rapidly disappearing. | ROBIN BOOKER PHOTO Sea region that are selling for $100 U.S. per tonne less than poor quality Canadian product in markets like Algeria and Turkey. Simpson had never seen as many dirt lumps in lentils in the 38 years he has been in the pulse business. “It was at times almost impossible to make the grade,” he said. So he is relieved that this year 89 percent of the Laird lentil samples that have been analyzed in his plants are No. 2 or better, although he believes the proportion of No. 1s is a lot lower than Saskatchewan Agriculture’s estimate because of bleaching caused by July heat and August rain. The vastly improved crop quality means the premiums for producing No. 2 and No. 1 product are rapidly disappearing. Overall prices are also declining because of the ample supply of quality lentils. Simpson estimates Canadian farmers harvested 2.4 to 2.6 million tonnes of the crop. That is slightly higher than Agriculture Canada’s forecast of 2.3 million tonnes, which would be about one million tonnes smaller than last year but still the third biggest crop on record. U.S. farmers harvested 378,833 tonnes of lentils, 41 percent below last year but still the third largest crop in history. That is why lentil prices have been tumbling. A No. 1 large green lentil that was fetching 45 to 48 cents per pound in August is selling

for 38 cents per pound, while reds have fallen to 20 to 21 cents from 24 cents in August. Simpson believes there is further downside in the market. “The world is awash in red lentils,” he said. “We’re going to go from here possibly down a little bit more on reds.” He fully expects Canadian farmers to lock their bins, but he believes Australian farmers will step in and supply the market because they will still be making money at today’s prices. Australia is expected to harvest 420,000 tonnes of lentils, which is about half the size of last year’s massive record crop but in line with annual production during the previous four years. His forecast for the green lentil market is much the same. “It’s a sideways to down trend,” said Simpson. There may be temporary bumps along the way, but there is nothing driving the market back up. The Indian government is forecasting 3.99 million tonnes of pigeon pea production, which is above the five-year average of 3.27 million tonnes, so that doesn’t bode well for green lentil demand. He said there needs to be a productionproblemsomewhereintheworld, such as extreme heat or frost during Australia’s harvest or a big reduction in India’s winter pulse planting. sean.pratt@producer.com

RECORD CANOLA FORECAST IN LATEST CROP SURVEY

ANOTHER CROP IN THE BIN

Statistics Canada has increased its crop production forecasts from the July farmer survey. Canola, wheat, durum and soybeans are all up significantly from the previous forecast. At 19.7 million tonnes the canola crop would be a record, but even with the 1.5 million tonne increase since the July report, the market had little reaction because many in the trade think production will ultimately be pegged at 20 million tonnes. The report issued Sept. 19 was based on a model that incorporates coarse resolution satellite data from Statistics Canada’s Crop Condition Assessment Program data from Statistics Canada’s field crop reporting series and agroclimatic data.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE EDGE HIGHER The Canfax fed steer weighed average was $134.58 per hundredweight, up 70 cents. There was no heifer average. Packers did not chase cattle, and so feedlots, which are generally current, opted to carry over a large portion of the cash show list. Delivery times were two weeks out. Ca na d i a n f e d s t e e r c a rca s s weights for the week ending Sept. 16 fell five pounds to 913 lb., while U.S. steer carcasses to Sept. 9 were six lb. heavier. The weekly western Canadian slaughter to Sept. 16 fell one percent to 40,031 head. Slaughter for the year is up seven percent. Weekly exports to Sept. 9 surged to 7,686 head, up 23 percent from the holiday shortened week. Exports for the year are up eight percent. Alberta prices are near the seasonal bottom, but more downside is still possible through to midOctober. Feedlots have technically and fundamentally gained leverage

over the past two weeks, but the strong fed basis continues to encourage trade and to pull fed cattle forward. The Alberta-to-Nebraska basis narrowed but remained seasonally strong at plus eight cents Market-ready supplies will begin to tighten, and fourth quarter fed prices should be well supported. U.S. trade saw live prices US$2 higher than the previous week in the south with most trade at $108 per cwt. Light dressed trade in the north was $3-$5 higher at $170-$172 delivered. However, the U.S. monthly cattleon-feed report showed more placements than expected, which weighed down deferred cattle futures months.

Even with market pressure, Alberta prices have been at a $10 premium to the U.S. utility market. Over the past 10 years, excluding 2014, the average decline from spring highs to fall lows is 26 percent. If realized, this would put prices on track to bottom at $82. However, we could see a larger than average decline this year with possible lows in the high $70s. A large percentage of Canadian bulls are being exported to the U.S. for slaughter, so the stronger loonie is weighing on prices. Slaughter bull prices were about $100 per cwt., down $4.86. Bulls are trading $15 lower than last year, while cows are $4-$5 lower.

COWS DOWN

Alberta demand for yearlings continues strong, and it appears yearlings from Saskatchewan and Manitoba are moving to Alberta to be finished. Prices for steers and heifers 900 lb. and heavier are now only $4-$5 shy of their highs set in early June. The cash-to-futures basis for 850

lb. steers for the first three weeks of September have averaged +$5.66, possibly signalling the strongest September basis levels in 30 years. September is traditionally the strongest basis month of the year, and it is not uncommon to see levels weaken into October. With cash barley prices 18 percent higher than last year, the steerheifer price spread has widened. On average, steers weighing more than 700 lb. are trading $19.75 higher than last year, while same weight heifers are $14.68 higher. In nine of the past 12 years, 650 lb. steer prices have dropped from October to November, falling on average 2.8 percent. In electronic trade, steer calves in Alberta and Saskatchewan weighing 600-699 lb. for October delivery saw a weighted average price of $217.13 based at 633 lb., while same weight steer calves for November delivery average $211.02 based at 641 lb., so the seasonal price decline might be already happening. Alberta calf prices are trading at a $3 premium to the U.S. market, and feeders are $13 per cwt. higher. That is discouraging exports.

BISON STEADY

LAMBS STEADY

The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$6–$6.25 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$5.75$ 6 . U. S. b u y e r s a r e o f f e r i n g US$4.50. Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 732 sheep and lambs and 70 goats sold Sept. 18. Well-finished light lambs sold higher, while others were steady. Sheep and goats sold steady. T h e B e av e r Hi l l Au c t i o n i n Tofield, Alta., reported that 1,172 sheep and 105 goats sold Sept. 18. Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $190-239 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $210-$240, 70-85 lb. were $208-$233, 86-105 lb. were $188-

D1, D2 cow prices hit new annual lows, ranging $80-$92 to average $85.71 per cwt., down $2. D3 cows ranged $70-$83 to average $77. Cow prices tend not to set annual lows in September, so there is still more downside price risk this fall.

FEEDER MARKET STRONG

BEEF HIGHER U.S. Choice was up 51 cents per cwt. at US$191.51, and Select was up $1.69 at $188.41. Cut-out values are two to five percent above year-ago levels. Weekly Canadian boxed beef prices to Sept. 16 traded mixed with AAA up $3.70 at C$246.43 per cwt., and AA down $3.77 at $233.08. Historically, 50 percent trim values tend to decline in the fall, but prices have been relatively steady this year. Lighter carcass weights might have reduced the supply of 50 percent trim and supported prices. The Consumer Price Index report shows beef in August was down 0.6 percent from July but up one percent from a year ago.

Sept. 22, down from $43.12 Sept. 15. U.S. hogs averaged $48.70 on a carcass basis Sept. 22, down from $52.95 Sept. 15. The U.S. pork cutout was $72.70 per cwt. Sept. 22, down from $77.76 Sept. 15.

slaughter for the week to Sept. 23 was 2.501 million, up from 2.432 million in the previous week. Slaughter was 2.473 million last year at the same time. In Canada, the average Signature Five price for the week to Sept. 23 was C$126.54 per 100 kilograms, down from $135.89 the previous week. On a per hundredweight basis, the average price was $57.40, down from $61.64 the previous week.

$214 and 106 lb. and heavier were $185-$204. Wool rams were $108-$134 per cwt. Cull ewes were $95-$140.

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

MARKETING

Misleading food labels do industry no favours

he trend toward marketing campaigns — including food labelling — with information that is not tied to food safety or human health is troubling, even damaging, to the food industry. Note the absurdity of advertising “premium” water that is gluten free, nonGMO, certified kosher and organic. Catelli has a durum pasta product that is verified by the Non-GMO Project. Durum is not genetically modified, and even if it was, it would make no difference to human health. Ancient grains bread is no healthier than bread using modern grains. This is also playing out in the fast-food industry with A&W highlighting that its beef is “raised without the use of hormones or steroids,” and its pork is raised without antibiotics. Yet where hormones are used on livestock, residuals are so minute — and regulated — that there is no health issue. As well, humans use antibiotics to prevent sickness; we are healthier as a result. Why is not using antibiotics on hogs better? Don’t we want healthy hogs? It is against this backdrop that the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity conducted a survey on attitudes about food safety. The survey showed that 43 percent of Canadians feel the food system is going in the right direction, up from 30 percent in 2016. However, 43 percent aren’t sure if it’s on the right track, down from 50 percent the previous year, and 14 percent said the food system is going in the wrong direction. Chief among concerns are the use of antibiotics, pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Concern about these issues hasn’t changed since 2016, leaving the CCFI to note that “existing efforts to move the bar on these topics haven’t reached the majority in the ‘neutral zone’ yet.” Labelling and marketing campaigns are likely playing a role in all this. Food labelled non-GMO may imply that it’s

somehow better than food that contains GMOs, though science shows there is no reason to believe that. Anti-hormone and zero antibiotics marketing implies the meat is better, but again, there is no science behind that. The appeal is emotive. Those polled by the CCFI indicated food safety, environmental impact, animal well-being, labour and human rights and business ethics formed the basis for their opinions about the food system. Above all, they value transparency. Those polled said food companies have the major responsibility to provide information, followed by farmers and governments. Yet some food companies are using these dubious marketing schemes and labelling practices. They might argue they’re just giving customers what they want, but as the study shows, what they want is reliable information about healthy choices. If we continue along this route, in the future, food producers will not use hormones, antibiotics or GMOs. Food will be more expensive, which is another serious concern expressed in the survey. Yet such a trend would make food no more safe and no more healthy. Governments aren’t going to solve this issue. This is an industry problem generated by industry practices. The report urges the food industry to engage those who are uncertain (the “neutrals”), millennials and foodies who love sharing information. These groups are likely to have the biggest impact on how the food system is perceived. It will take a concerted effort between these groups and government information to make this happen. If the will isn’t there, we are destined to take the wrong fork in the road.

U.S. silence puts NAFTA negotiations in tough spot CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

s NAFTA renegotiation talks near the midway point, the United States has yet to table formal proposals on several key agriculture issues — missing details that are raising questions about whether negotiators will be able to wrap up talks by the end of the year. Canadian, American and Mexican trade officials are in the process of trying to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, a key campaign promise for U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has called NAFTA the “worst trade deal” the U.S. has ever signed. He’s threatened to tear up the agreement on a number of occasions

if a better deal can’t be reached. In the months leading up to the NAFTA talks, several Canadian agriculture sectors had found themselves in American crosshairs — the most notable being dairy after Trump personally waded into the matter during a rally in Wisconsin. The Americans have said they want more Canadian market access. They haven’t said what they want that to look like. Chief Canadian negotiator Steve Verheul confirmed to reporters Sept. 24 that no formal dairy proposal had been submitted by the Americans. Verheul is a former chief agriculture negotiator for Agriculture Canada. He served as Canada’s chief negotiator during trade talks between Canada and the European Union that resulted in the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA). The CETA trade deal resulted in Canadian concessions on the dairy file, with Ottawa agreeing to allow a higher amount of European cheeses into Canada. Canada also agreed

to market concessions for dairy, poultry and eggs during the now moribund Trans-Pacific Partnership talks. The fact no dairy requests have been presented in the NAFTA talks thus far is not entirely surprising. During the CETA and TPP negotiations, more challenging issues, such as agriculture and dairy, were often left to the end because decisions on those files often required the involvement of the political ministers responsible. Canada remains firm in its commitment to defend its supply management system in the NAFTA negotiations. Dairy isn’t the only contentious file still awaiting American action. As of Sept. 25, Canada had yet to receive any formal requests around their concerns on wheat grading or wine access, which are two other files that U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and Trade Secretary Robert Lighthizer have flagged. American farmers have been asking for improved grading standards

for their grain since the Canadian Wheat Board was privatized in 2012. Under current regulations, American wheat is downgraded to the lowest grade, even if the variety is registered in Canada. In contrast, Canadian grain exported south to the U.S. is treated the same as American grains and is graded as such. The Canadian Grain Commission disputes the American claims, insisting American farmers can ship grain north to licensed elevators on “speculation,” in which the buyer determines the price paid based on quality rather than grade. Verheul told reporters Canada is still waiting to hear from the Americans on areas such as rules of origin on auto manufacturing and an investor state dispute settlement. The three countries have notable differences of opinion in these areas. The lack of paper passing has raised questions about whether a re n e g o t i a t e d NA F TA c a n b e reached by the end of the year, ahead of the pending Mexican

presidential election and American mid-term elections in November. In Ottawa, neither Verheul nor Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland would say whether the current negotiating schedule will be extended past the seven rounds already planned. “We’ll make good progress the next few rounds, I think, but the end game is always the hardest part and impossible to predict,” Verheul told reporters. “I think I’ve been wrong most times that I’ve tried to predict when a negotiation would conclude. It’s really hard to say.” Freeland said trade officials are working “as hard as they can” to wrap up the deal as quickly as possible, given the time constraints. She added it’s not unusual for countries to first try to resolve the files where they mostly agree before tackling the more contentious files.

Time to bid adieu to GMO regulations BY GRAHAM SCOLES

ost people are familiar with the story The Emperor’s New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen. The emperor, while parading around naked, proclaims that he has had an exquisite new wardrobe made, and is showing it off to his citizens. Out of fear of retribution, the citizens agree with the beauty of the wardrobe until a young child naively points out that the emperor is indeed naked and was scammed by a couple of weavers. I feel there are parallels with this story and our situation with the regulation of genetically modified crops. About 30 years ago, Canada and other western governments put in place regulations around the release of these crops, requiring that they undergo significant screening to show they are no risk in terms of food, feed or environmental impact. While governments had to put in place significant resources and personnel to develop and oversee these regulations, the producers of these products, primarily private plantbreeding companies, also had to invest significant amounts of money to collect the necessary data and deal with regulators. Both governments and industry are finding it increasingly expensive as more and more products come to market. With new tools such as gene editing, there will likely be even more work. So some people might wonder how many products of these new breeding techniques have been found wanting and were not released into the market because they were deemed a risk as either food, feed or environmental threat.

It disturbs me to see less-developed countries using valuable resources to implement westernstyle regulatory systems for such crops when those resources could be better used elsewhere and such technologies probably hold greater potential than in the western world. Some people have made their careers debating from a pro- or anti-GMO point of view. Organizations have developed on both sides, again taking resources that

could be better used elsewhere. In addition, we are devoting resources to develop international policies to regulate shipments for low-level presence of GMOs and for GMO labelling, even though there is no scientific basis for either. Let’s get rid of these needless and expensive regulatory systems, deploy the wasted resources to where they can do more good, and return to where we were 30-plus years ago, when plant breeders used any process (traditional

breeding, mutation, genetic engineering, gene editing) to produce new material that had value to the farmer, the processor or the consumer, and let the market place decide the true value of the products of plant breeding.

TAX REFORM

Farmers unite against federal tax changes HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

oo far, too fast, and farmers won’t forget. The Liberal government’s corporate tax rule changes are bad politics, and in many ways, bad policy. According to the last Census of Agriculture, only 25 percent of Canadian farms are incorporated. However, incorporated farms account for the vast majority of farm receipts. With the reaction coming from the farm community, you’d swear ever y farm was affected. The changes are viewed as an attack on small to medium-sized businesses. You seldom see an issue that galvanizes and unites the farm commu-

There’s lots of ag in Ottawa right now

nity in this way. It’s reminiscent of the furor over a past Liberal government’s long gun registry. In farm circles, only the National Farmers Union is defending the Liberal government. NFU president Jan Slomp has released an opinion piece saying it’s the wealthy one percent of society that is whipping up the hype against the tax reforms and that it’s “vitally important that tax loopholes are closed.” “Only a very small portion of incorporated farms are profitable enough to warrant the cost of accountant fees to set up loophole arrangements,” writes Slomp, showing just how out of touch the NFU is with commercial agriculture. While some incorporated farms will remain relatively unscathed, the crackdown on income splitting and the earning of passive income within a farm corporation will affect many. It’s true that the vitriol over the proposed changes has become a little extreme, but that only speaks to the passion involved. The official consultation period is soon ending, but businesses don’t feel like anyone has

been listening to their concerns. Assuming some rebalancing of personal versus corporate tax rules is actually warranted, what should the government have done differently? First of all, don’t call them tax loopholes. The rules are set up and people follow them. “Loopholes” makes it sound underhanded and nefarious. If you decide that corporate tax rules need to be adjusted or tightened, don’t try to do it all at once. Addressing income sprinkling or passive income individually would have been ambitious enough without doing both and then adding rule changes on converting income to capital gains. And while adjusting the rules, find ways to make the tax system simpler rather than adding to the complicated mess. For instance, the new Tax on Split Income (TOSI) assumes there is one corporate founder and that other family members receive income only to save tax. How will Revenue Canada reasonably determine whether a family member’s contribution is worth $30,000 or only $15,000? And how exactly will passive

income be tracked within a corporation so that it can be taxed at an onerous rate at some future time when it’s withdrawn from the corporation? The government could have avoided a great deal of political fallout if it had moved more slowly, addressed one issue at a time with a detailed plan and truly consulted and listened to the business community. Most Canadians and even most farmers are not incorporated, so it might be assumed that public opinion is on the government’s side. That doesn’t appear to be the case. An affront to small and medium-sized business will not make regular taxpayers any richer. Instead, it will have a stifling effect on the economy and job creation. Beyond the issue of tax fairness, taxes in this country are just way too high. Despite backbreaking tax rates, huge budget deficits have become the norm. Rather than taxing more, governments need to spend less. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

he federal government manages to stay busy with a wide variety of things that affect agriculture, and at The Western Producer we keep our ears to the ground on your behalf. This month alone there are very serious discussions with Mexico and the United States about the future of NAFTA, and that goes well beyond supply management. Transportation rolls along, but it rolled past the expiry of the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act end-date in July, and the Commons committee reviewing it is back to meetings this week. Lest we forget, the taxation Sword of Damocles hangs over small corporations, threatening to slice off some value from many commercial farms in our nation. However, hard lobbying is underway at the federal finance department, otherwise known as the Island of Dr. Morneau, where the vivisection of Canadian tax regulation is resulting in a lot of on-the-fly re-planning by farmers for what might be. Over at the east end of the Centre Block, in the Red Chamber, the Senate agriculture and forestry committee is hearing witnesses for a study on the potential impact of the effects of climate change. Don’t think that work isn’t going to heavily influence the future of carbon taxes in Canada.

You might see an obvious tie to agriculture in the work of most of these, but the Council of Academies? Yes, it too is big in ag with its work on the impacts of microbial resistance, the state of science and tech and a look at water management. The council influences the outcomes of legislation and the national direction of farming in this nation.

OPEN FORUM TAX WORRIES To the Editor: Re: Tax proposals about fairness: minister (Page 11, Sept. 21). If there was ever an article that dumbs down an issue and treats those affected by it as stupid, this is it. It’s equivalent to patting a six-year-old on the head saying, “don’t worry, it will be all right.” Well Mr. Editor, it is not all right. The Department of Finance is perfectly capable of bringing forward legislation, endorsed by the legislators, that has significant unintended consequences. Mr. (Bill) Morneau has brought forward illconceived legislation to target a “select few” that results in the most significant changes to the Income Tax Act since 1969, which will affect not only the “select few,” but all farm and small business corporations. There is a concept in Canadian taxation called “integration,” which ensures that the tax paid by an unincorporated business proprietor is essentially the same as that paid by a corporation plus its shareholder(s) on business income funnelled through a corporation to the shareholder(s). Holding earnings in a corporation without distributing them to the shareholder(s) defers tax, but that income is not analogous to proprietor income because it is not available to the shareholder

to spend as he/she wishes. It is retained in the corporation for growth and investment until the funds are distributed to shareholder(s) through dividends. This concept is not well understood by the general public or, apparently, the Department of Finance, because the proposed legislation significantly penalizes small business corporations on the flow-through of income. Tax specialists and analysts are working through the numbers in a variety of scenarios and I sincerely hope that Mr. Morneau pays attention. Mr. Morneau insists on equating employees with business owners. Why? Employees are entitled to standard hours of work, overtime, holiday pay, vacation pay, health benefit plans, pensions, EI, sometimes even subsidized lunches in the government cafeteria — none of which is an entitlement of business owners. Farmers know that as business owners they work long hard hours in unstable and risky conditions for their business income. Employees are different from shareholders. If this legislation is passed as drafted and proposed, it will contribute significantly toward a defeat of the Liberal government. Is that the legacy you want, Mr. Morneau? M. G.

Tax change fallout continues to vex federal government Finance minister pledges to ensure family farms aren’t hurt by bill BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

In the face of mounting pressure from farmers and small business owners, federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay and Finance Minister Bill Morneau both pledged last week to listen to concerns about proposed tax changes. The House of Commons resumed sitting Sept. 18 after a summer break that included the roll-out of a package of tax reforms that could affect farm financial management, particularly intergenerational transfer. In question period Sept. 19, Conservative agriculture critic Luc Berthold (MeganticL’Erable) asked if the consultation period could be extended past the Oct. 2 deadline, given that farmers are harvesting. He didn’t get an answer. “Does the minister agree with his prime minister, who has said that farmers, ranchers and producers are wealthy, privileged people who are using their businesses to pay less taxes?” Berthold asked. MacAulay first defended the Liberal government proposal but later told media he would ensure family farms aren’t hurt by the changes. He said that the federal government is working on improving grain transportation and has invested $100 million in science research. “Mr. Speaker, we inherited the

LAWRENCE MACAULAY FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

tax system from the Harper government, which encouraged wealthy Canadians to incorporate to make sure they paid less taxes than the middle class,” he said. “We think that is unfair.” Later, the minister told iPolitics.ca that an existing provision in tax regulations that allows easier farm transfers within families will stay in place, if he has anything to say about it. “We want to make sure we are committed to supporting the young farmers by maintaining the tax exemption on intergenerational (transfer),” he told the media outlet. Several opposition MPs used question period to raise exam-

ples of farmers in their ridings who could be affected by the tax changes. Morneau acknowledged the concern, particularly after Conservative MPs tweeted his office phone number and encouraged people to call. He said Sept. 21 that everyone wants a fair tax system and that is what the government is working toward. “In the case of farmers, we know we want to listen to make sure our tax proposals, which are important to make the system fair, do not have unintended consequences,” he said in response to a question from John Barlow (Foothills). “That is why we are listening to farmers across this country. We know how important they are. We are going to listen to them and we are going to get this right.” Meanwhile, at the standing agriculture committee, a Conservative motion to examine the tax changes rather than study a national food policy was defeated by the Liberal majority. karen.briere@producer.com

NEW BUSINESS

Construction set to start on new Cavendish potato plant New facility is the largest private investment in Lethbridge’s history and would increase potato acres in the region BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The sod was officially turned Sept. 18 on the $360 million Cavendish Farms potato processing plant in Lethbridge. Initially announced in December 2016, the plant represents the largest private investment in the city’s history. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley joined Cavendish Farms President Robert K. Irving to hold shovels signifying construction start, accompanied by Agriculture Min-

ister Oneil Carlier and Lethbridge Mayor Chris Spearman. A government news release indicates construction is expected to create up to 400 jobs, and upon completion the plant will require about 9,000 acres of potatoes. At $3,500 to $4,000 per acre, potatoes are among the highest value crops grown in the region. “The record investment Cavendish Farms is making in Lethbridge is good for our farmers and producers, good for the entire community and good for our growing economy,” said Notley. “Together with the City of

Lethbridge, the federal government and the good folks at Cavendish, we are creating more opportunities for our agricultural workers, more jobs for people in the area and even more reasons to be proud of an industry central to who we are as Albertans.” Irving said the plant will be “state of the art” and shows the company’s commitment to its employees, growers and customers. The provincial and federal governments have committed $20 million to the City of Lethbridge to make infrastructure improvements that will accommodate the

n e w p l a nt. A m o n g t h o s e a re upgrades to the water system in the new industrial park on the northeast side of the city, which is where the Cavendish project is located. An additional $1.88 million from Growing Forward 2 was earmarked to pay for pre-engineering studies. Yet another $1 million from the province was designated for Lethbridge’s agri-food processing capacity development project, according to the news release. Cavendish has operated a potato processing facility in the city since 2012, when it acquired the former

Maple Leaf Foods plant. Options for expansion at that location are limited so the company opted for a new plant and site. Southern Alberta is home to two other potato plants. McCain’s and Lamb-Weston operate processing facilities near Coaldale and Taber, respectively. At present, about 45,000 acres of potatoes are grown in the region annually. The Cavendish announcement would bring that total to about 50,000 acres of potatoes once the new plant is operating. barb.glen@producer.com

STATISTICS

Alberta leads nation in irrigated acres BY COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

Alberta has the most farming acres under irrigation in the country, according to data recently released by Statistics Canada. Alberta producers irrigated 1.21 million acres of farmland in 2016, representing 71 percent of irrigated land in Canada. Nationally, about 1.7 million acres of farmland are irrigated, which is 18 percent more than irrigated land reported in 2014. Across Canada, most irrigated acres are in field crops with 955,149 acres, followed by 583,522 acres in forage crops. Irrigated vegetables accounted for 97,332 acres, and irrigated fruit made up 66,007 acres. Alberta’s irrigation volume was up 13 percent from 2014 to 1.4 billion cubic metres in 2016. Most farmers rely on off-farm sources for irrigation water, which accounts for 70 percent of irrigation water used, according to Statistics Canada. Most is supplied by provincial sources, especially in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where 96 percent and 88 percent, respectively, come from provincial authorities. However, in Eastern Canada, most irrigation water derives from onfarm surface water: 84 percent in Quebec and 80 percent in Ontario. Manitoba’s total area under irrigation for all crops in 2016 was 80,037 acres, an increase from 48,852 in 2014, or almost 64 percent. In Saskatchewan, 97,285 acres of all crops were grown under irrigation, which is the same number as 2014.

Canadian Short Line Railway Association, would add something for his industry. “As this bill is written right now, if you just look at it from a straight short-line perspective there’s nothing in it,” he told the committee during his testimony. “This does nothing for us and we have come here to Ottawa several times saying we need some help. This isn’t helping us.” He said short lines represent 24 percent of Saskatchewan’s track. The companies employ 183 residents and move $500 million worth of commodities. Yet, Bill C-49’s provisions don’t allow short-line customers to access long-haul interswitching. Those rules required a rail company to pick up shipments along its track and deliver the cars to a competing rail company’s line. Pellerin said ending the longhaul provisions that permitted interswitching of up to 160 kilometres allowed under the previous legislation, the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act, along with the disappearance of producer cars, has put short lines and their shippers in a worse competitive position. Shipping by truck for distances less than 500 km is generally more affordable than rail, he said. “We are cheaper than a truck,” he said. “The problem is when we give that car over to our Class A partners, they are unable to compete at that rate.” For example, shipping a car on the short line for about 120 km from Leader, Sask., to Swift Current, Sask., costs about $650, or half the trucking cost, he said. But handing that car over to Canadian Pacific Railway to take it to Moose Jaw, or about 175 km, costs $2,600. Even multi-car rates differ by about $1,000 per car, he said, leading shippers to move grain by truck to inland terminals that can load larger trains.

The previous 160 km interswitching rules provided a stronger bargaining position, Pellerin added. Returning to a 30 km zone as existed before will make longhaul interswitching available to only two of the association’s 14 members. Rates will be too high, he said. “It is our understanding that the intent of the long-haul interswitching was to increase competition by providing expanded options to shippers,” he said. From a short-line perspective it won’t achieve that goal. Transport minister Marc Garn e au d u r i n g h i s a p p e a ra n c e before the committee said that short lines were consulted while Bill C-49 was drafted and their input is reflected. “They are not subject to longhaul interswitching orders or the new data requirements as they were considered too burdensome for them,” Garneau said. He said short-line railway concerns generally relate to infrastructure, which is beyond the scope of this bill. “Short lines are eligible on the other hand to apply for funding under the national trade corridor initiative announced in July,” he said. “We realize that they’re an important element of the transportation system; they’re just not covered in Bill C-49.” Former Transport Minister Lisa Raitt noted that David Emerson, who led the Canada Transportation Act review, told the committee that shippers will be forced to use trucks and roads if short-line infrastructure and investment aren’t addressed. She asked Garneau if the government would include short lines in a national rail plan. “We are looking at that issue at the moment,” Garneau replied. “We’ll see what comes out of that.” karen.briere@producer.com

COURTESY DODDS FAMILY

HARDING, Man. — They live in a 1900 house a stone’s throw from a 100-year-old barn on a farm homesteaded in 1881, and they have vacationed at Alberta’s historic Bar U Ranch. “We are history buffs,” said Cameron Dodds, who operates a mixed farm with Bea Janssens. “We’re lucky we have a heritage to preserve.” Dodds is happy to do upkeep on his family farm’s heritage buildings because they are among the few that are still standing on the Prairies. “It honours the people who were here before us but can be used today as well,” he said. The one-and-a-half storey brick farmhouse with a peaked roof included a parlour, summer kitchen, fieldstone foundation and cellar hatch and retains much of its original woodwork. “There’s a lot of character in the house, and it takes a character to keep it up,” said Dodds, who noted upgrades in insulation values and the foundation. Dodds said the 40 x 64 foot barn was built by Arthur Drummond for $5,000 in 1917. He was one of seven children born to Matthew and Margaret Drummond, who moved here from Ontario. It later passed to Dodds’ parents, Les and Bessie, and then to Dodds in 1992. The bunk barn was designed with a gambrel roof with a double slope on each side to create more storage in the loft, which is accessed from the side hill. Roof top lightning rods and a hay claw grapple on a rail that was used to unload racks of hay remain in place today. A large wooden tank in the loft was filled from the well at the reservoir on the property by a

pump jack and supplied water for livestock in the barn. Overhead bins were built in the loft for grain storage along with bins with chutes to carry grain to a box below for ease of feeding. A mechanical barn cleaning system on a rail carrying a manure bucket ran down each side of the barn. Today, the main floor’s stalls continue to be used for the couple’s 60 head cow-calf operation. Nearby

corrals secure a handful of horses. Their 480 acres produce wheat and canola, and additional pastureland is rented for the herd, said Dodds. He also plants corn for fall grazing. “It affords a lot of feed in a small area,” he said. They received deep snow last winter and are content with the amount of rainfall this growing season. Janssens, a mother to two adult

daughters, worked for a restaurant before meeting Dodds through a dating club but longed to live on a farm and work with animals. They work as a team, sharing the workload, getting help at times from Dodds’ retired brother. “We do things the old-fashioned way, hands on, so cattle are quieter, easier to handle,” said Janssens. “We treat them as we would like to be treated,” she said, recalling the blankets used to warm calves during a March blizzard. Added Dodds: “We love our animals.” They use a cow cam installed in the barn’s maternity area to keep watch at calving in February and March. Dodds said they survived BSE by feeding calves for the fat market, avoiding spending and minimizing debt.

“You’ve got to do without to not have debt. It makes for hardships at times,” said Dodds. Added Janssens : “We never bought anything new.” They say marketing can be challenging. “You watch the market the best you can and hope you can make the right decision,” Dodds said. He said the love of the land and a desire to remain on the family homestead keeps him here. “I’ll keep at it until I get it right. It’s hard to quit,” said Dodds. The couple will likely downsize the herd in the coming years but hope the farm will always be here for them and their family. “I’d like to see it go to someone in the family so we can walk back in here at any time,” said Janssens. karen.morrison@producer.com

Rodeo an integral part of life for entire family Growing up on a cattle ranch influenced choices, says Orin Larsen BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

INGLIS, Man. — The western lifestyle and cowboy culture epitomize the Larsen family of Shell Valley Ranch. “We never had quads; everything was done on horseback. The kids cut their teeth on horses,” said Kevin. His wife, Wanda, recalled their younger years in Hanna, Alta., when the Hand Hills community of ranchers would get together to move cattle. “There was lots of interaction with others with the same interests,” she said, noting there has been less of that since their move to Manitoba to establish their ranch in 1999. From those early beginnings grew their four children’s interest in rodeo, 4-H and stock. Three have their professional rodeo card: Orin, 26, is a bareback rider, Tyrel, 28, is a saddle bronc rider and Kane, 24, is a bull rider who works on a ranch in Alberta. Cassie Derkach, 30, a hairdresser who farms with her husband and their young children near Russell, Man., participated in gymkhanas at local rodeos and a 4-H beef club in addition to training horses. A bedroom in the Larsen farm home stuffed with saddles, belt buckles and trophies attests to the family’s success in rodeo. Derkach recalled her brothers’ summers spent away at rodeos, many of which she attended. “I supported them lots,” said Derkach. “I always enjoyed going no matter what is was. It was always good to see them.” That practice continues today for the Larsens, who travel to the Calgary Stampede or farther afield to watch their sons each year. After the boys moved away, the Larsens reduced their Black Angus

herd to 180 head, which are sold direct from the farm. Kevin pursued rodeo in the 1970s and was the Canadian Collegiate bareback champion, but he and Wanda never pushed the sport on their children. “They had a true desire to want to be cowboys,” said Wanda. Once they became involved in the sport, a strong work ethic was expected, said Kevin. “If we were hauling them to rodeos, they had to give 110 percent,” he said. Added Wanda: “Even if you are making a lot of money, it’s very expensive.” The family also made education a priority. “They were fortunate enough they were good enough athletes and got scholarships,” said Kevin. His sons started in amateur and high school rodeos, attended clinics and trained on animals and homemade bucking machines and others scattered around their farmyard. That led to being scouted by U.S. colleges, where they experienced success in rodeo while completing school: Orin in welding technology, Tyrel in business and Kane in animal science. Rodeo is a full-time job for Orin and Tyrel, who attend up to 100 of them each year and have competed in the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and the Canadian Finals Rodeo. This day, Orin, who is based in Gering, Nebraska, was leaving for Olds, Alta., and then driving the next night to Oregon. He said growing up on a cattle ranch and seeing his parents build their business influenced his career path. “I didn’t realize what it was until I was older and saw what it took to be where it’s at now,” he said.

Orin said he is content in the United States, creating his own path and roots as his parents did. “I can wake up knowing I can do what I love to do,” said Orin. “I fell in love with the atmosphere of rodeos and the western way of life.” The chance to compete with his brothers was another motivator. “I kind of wanted to pursue that and beat them,” he said. Being competitive is key, he added, citing his successes last year in winning in San Antonio, Texas, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, and making it to the eighth round at the NFR. “Anyone in rodeo has to be competitive,” he said. “I don’t think success will come easily or often if you’re not competitive.” He said the best teachers are maturity and experience on the circuit. “The more you go year after year, the better you’ll do.” He and Tyrel both credit support from their parents in their youth and from their partners today in helping them achieve these goals. Tyrel, who lives with his wife and toddler in Weatherford, Oklahoma, is currently working for a veterinarian as he recovers from a torn MCL. He said it’s the people who keep him coming back. “Everybody is always helping each other out,” he said. “You help everybody win because you know you will need help one day.” Winning college finals and appearing at the CFR and NFR are among the career highlights for Tyrel, who said the money has improved to the point where it’s a good living. “As long as I can keep making a living at it, I’ll keep doing it.” karen.morrison@producer.com

LOOKING BACK

But who will mind the kids? Finding child care in 1956 in rural Alberta was a real challenge BY SHERI HATHAWAY FREELANCE WRITER

Finding suitable child care has always been a challenge. It was especially difficult in the 1950s when married women often did not work outside the home and child-care workers were few. Louise Hathaway, my mother, trained as a teacher at age 17 and began teaching in a one-room multigrade school at age 18. In 1945, she married Harold Hathaway. “I put teaching out of my mind because I thought I’d never do it again. I focused on my family and becoming a farmer’s wife,” she once told me. All of that changed in 1956 when an opening came up for a Grade 2 teacher in Marcaine, Alta. At the time, we four children were aged three to 10. My two older sisters were in school but my brother, James, and I were preschoolers. When the school principal offered the position to Mom over the phone, she turned it down. Later, he came to the house and gave her the blunt truth over tea in her kitchen. “If you won’t teach Grade 2 in school, you’ll be teaching it to your daughter at home, because I can’t find anyone to fill the vacancy,” he said. Mom had enjoyed teaching and the prospect was enticing. Our farm was close to town so the drive wouldn’t be a problem. My parents also thought of the year they got hailed out and knew this income would provide a financial cushion if tragedy struck the farm again. Mom and Dad also remembered the support they received from their community during their crisis, so

teaching was a chance to give back. Child care for their preschoolers posed a challenge at a time when it was unusual to hire someone. Dad was available during winter, but not during the growing season, so my parents searched for someone who could come to the farm. An added challenge was in finding a woman in those days who could drive and had access to a car. Fortunately, they found a senior who had raised her family and was enjoying a quiet retirement. I later learned this woman had different ideas about child rearing than my mother. She was strict and often reminded us to be quiet. She must have thought we were two little hellions. She stayed with us for a short time and then called Mom one evening to give notice. Until someone else could be found, Dad got up early and worked in the fields until 8 a.m. When Mom came home in the afternoon, he’d take supper with him and work until late at night. He told me it was the hardest thing he ever had to do and often felt like he was almost asleep on his feet. Our next caregiver was a young girl who had just graduated from Grade 12. Her home was a distance from ours and she didn’t drive, so she lived with us during the week. There was a flurry of activity in the house for a few days when men came to car ve out a bedroom upstairs. At the time, our upper floor was a big open space with two double beds and a couple of dressers that the four children shared. We thought the babysitter’s new pink bedroom was spectacular, with a closet, which we didn’t have, door,

window and even little shelves. The shy, quiet babysitter finally arrived, delivered by her boyfriend, with one small suitcase. I worshipped her but can scarcely remember the days spent with her. I do remember the boyfriend, tall and fun-loving, coming to visit in the evenings. He positioned himself on a stool in the kitchen while we washed and Mom sat in the dining room marking student work or planning lessons. He playfully teased me and I was too shy to know how to respond. The best I could do was stay out of the kitchen when he was there. One day, he grabbed me as I came in. Embarrassed, I went limp, closing my eyes and not knowing what to do. After an awkward pause, he let me go. I never went in the kitchen after that if he was there. One day the sitter came down the stairs carrying her suitcase. Mom came around the corner and the two stopped suddenly to look at each other . Looking at the suitcase, Mom asked, “Are you leaving?” “Yes,” she said, walking through the house as we kids stopped and stared. The house was silent except for the creak of the screen door. Her boyfriend drove up, she got in and we never saw her again. Once more, Dad handled childcare duties as before. The next sitter was grey haired and tall and turned out to be my favourite. She was kind and gentle and brought knitting. When Dad took care of us in winter, I remember we ate a lot of Campbell’s tomato soup or leftovers warmed in the frying pan. James and I were each other’s

daily companions and we didn’t take much notice of or have much contact with the adults in our lives, who were always busy working. The barn, the bale stack and trees were teeming with dangerous villains, raging wild animals and even unheard of monsters that demanded our immediate attention. We were consumed with the serious business of high adventure, completely oblivious of the real-life drama that swirled around us or that we were the focus of any of it. Mom taught for two years, stayed home with my brother when I started school, then returned to teaching for the next 29 years until

her retirement in 1983. We never had a caregiver again. We were home alone throughout our school years. The door wasn’t locked during the day so we never had to worry about keys. When Dad was home and not in the fields, we knew he was in his shop repairing machinery or inventing, and he always came in for his afternoon tea and to check on us. The upstairs bedroom became a room for the oldest child or any overnight company. We learned how to make suppers at an early age as Mom often worked late at school. On Saturdays, we all pitched in to get the house cleaning, laundry and baking done for the week. Over the years, we became a close-knit family, working together to make sure each job got done. We were always expected to help out if someone else needed it, following our parents’ example as they worked together through each situation that life threw at them.

PROTEIN REQUIREMENTS

Healthy diet includes a variety of plant proteins TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

aily intake of meat or plantbased protein is ideal for optimum health. A diet focused mainly on meat-based protein may be lower in dietary fibre and the many nutrients found only in vegetables and grains and higher in fat. A plant-based protein regime will have more variety in nutrients, will have a good source of dietary fibre and may be lower in fat. Proteins are a macronutrient made up of amino acids that are essential to the well-being of a healthy body and necessary for almost all cellular activity. Some act as enzymes and are vital to metabolism. Others have structural or mechanical functions, such as the proteins that maintain cell shape. Proteins are important in immune responses and controlling inflammation. The body can make some of the 22 amino acids occurring in foods but there are eight it cannot make, and children cannot make 10 of them. They are called the essential amino acids and must come from the foods we eat. Meat is called a complete protein

Good sources of plant protein include chickpeas, lentils, nuts and beans. | GETTY PHOTO because it contains all of the essential amino acids, but eating a wide variety of plant products can also supply the essential amino acids. No one plant contains all of the essential amino acids so we need to eat a wide variety. The old school of thought recommended eating complementary plant products such as beans with rice, so that all essential amino acids were present at each meal. This is no longer the case. Scientists now know that through digestion the body will break down proteins and store amino acids from one meal to the next over the

day but not longer. It is a myth that animal protein is superior to plant protein but the structure of amino acids in both is identical. Poor quality is confused with lower quantity. Plant products are lower in protein, but the quality is equal. Meat is a highly concentrated protein foods but has fewer of the other nutrients the body needs. We may be lacking in other nutrients by consuming only meat for our protein needs. I expect the new Canada Food Guide will place a greater emphasis

on proteins from plant sources. Balanced, healthy diets are more easily achieved when there is only a moderate emphasis on meatbased protein with good fats, unrefined carbohydrates, adequate dietary fibre and a variety of nutrients. Good sources of plant protein include lentils, chickpeas, black beans, peanuts, almonds and cashews. Even one medium sized potato has four grams of protein. One cup of cooked wild rice has 6.5 grams ,and 1/4 cup of dry steel cut oatmeal has five grams. Health Canada recommends 0.8 to 1.3 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. This equates to 10 to 15 percent of our total caloric intake to be from protein. Needs are based on age, gender and activity level. There is no recommendation in the Canada Health Dietary Reference Intake for adults older than 50 but recent research has found that a higher protein intake is beneficial to aging adults. Age-associated conditions such as sarcopenia (the gradual loss of muscle mass with aging), osteoporosis and immune system impairments are hampered by a lack of protein. New studies are showing that older adults need more dietary protein than younger adults to support good health and recovery from illness, changes in metabolism and offset inflammation. One reason is that the protein is not as readily available to the body

SAVING MONEY

How to lessen the sting of airline baggage fees TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

ew things get air travellers more irritated than baggage fees and constantly changing rules. Yet airlines seem quite content to let customers stew about fees because they have become so lucrative. Costs can add up. While there are variations, it’s usually around $25 each way for flights in Canada, the United States and other destinations. A family of four, with each person having one checked bag, ends up forking over an extra $200 plus taxes. Want to break up your journey with a few days stopover along the way? You’ll pay separate fees for each leg of the trip. How airlines charge for checked bags can be confusing. For travel within Canada or to the U.S., it’s almost universal that airlines charge for bags. Travelling farther afield gets complicated, and rules are constantly in flux. When we went to Mexico City earlier this year, Air Canada allowed one checked bag free, but now they charge.

The airline charges for baggage for most, though not all, Caribbean destinations. However, if you’re on an Air Canada Vacations package, you may be allowed a free bag. For Europe, Air Canada generally allows the first checked bag free, yet for parts of South America, Asia or Africa, it’s two free checked bags. Other airlines have their own spin on the rules, though most are equally convoluted. At least with Air Canada, it’s reasonably easy to look up the rules on its website. You can enter your departure point and destination and see the baggage allowance and cost. On an international ticket using different airlines, things can get murky. As a general rule, for flights originating or ending in Canada or the U.S., it is usually the first airline you fly with that determines the baggage rules. For much of the world, baggage rules are set by the most significant carrier for multi-airline tickets. It’s not always straightforward, so for complex itineraries, it’s best to get clarity from an airline or travel agent. Travellers can sometimes avoid or lessen the sting of baggage fees using co-branded credit cards. The most useful one in Canada is the WestJet Mastercard, issued by RBC, which allows one free checked bag for the card holder and up to eight other people travelling on the same reservation. The card has a yearly fee ($119 as of Nov. 1), so you have to balance

this against the saving from not paying baggage fees. The card also comes with 250 introductory WestJet dollars, so it is almost always worth getting if you plan to fly WestJet. You also get a free first bag with certain Aeroplan credit cards, such as those issued by CIBC and TD Canada Trust. However, they are much more restrictive. The baggage fee is waived only if you fly on Air Canada, and in some cases, only if you’re flying on an Aeroplan ticket. In addition, it only applies to the card holder, and not to anyone else on the same ticket. For a couple travelling together, it is advantageous for each to book separate tickets using their own Aeroplan accounts, and for each to pay with their own Aeroplan-

Some co-branded credit cards allow a free checked bag branded credit card. Some U.S.-based airlines have co-branded credit cards that offer a free checked bag, but none are available in Canada. With many airlines, the baggage fee is waived if you buy a more expensive fare or if you have status with the airline’s frequent flyer program. The latter is usually only available to those who fly a significant amount with an airline and who don’t always book

the cheapest fares. When you can’t avoid a baggage fee, another strategy is for a couple to check one large bag (assuming of course that you can stay within the size and weight limit), rather than each person checking a smaller bag. So-called no-frills or low-cost airlines usually have different rules again. On Flair Airlines, which flies to a few western Canadian cities, the only free luggage is one small personal carry-on that fits under your seat and weighs less than 10 kilograms. Even a regular carry-on bag that fits in the overhead compartment triggers a fee. Interestingly, it costs less for a 23 kg checked bag than for a 10 kg carry-on bag. For some airlines, it may cost slightly less if you pay for your bags in advance online rather than at the airport. For Flair, the difference in paying on its website or at the airport is significant. Baggage rules and fees will likely continue to change. Some critics argue that they are purposely complex, so that it’s difficult for travellers to know upfront what the final tab will be. When we’re looking for the best airfare deal, it’s important to research the baggage rules and ask questions when things aren’t clear, so that we don’t end up with nasty and expensive surprises.

due to changes in digestion. New research recommends that older adults have one to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of weight every day. Older adults with acute or chronic diseases need even more protein. Only those with severe kidney disease would be an exception to this recommendation, according to the Prot-Age Study Group founded by the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society. Protein is also important in the prevention or treatment of obesity. Protein digests more slowly than carbohydrates and therefore keeps hunger pangs away longer. This is an important part of a weight control regime. One gram of protein has the same calories as one gram of carbohydrates and half the calories of a gram of fat. Although solid food is generally more satisfying, even high protein drinks have shown a positive effect in keeping away hunger. Studies have shown that more protein in the diet has helped with greater weight loss, fat mass loss and lowered lean mass loss. Lowered blood sugar levels, blood pressure and waist circumference has resulted from a higher protein diet, reports the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

INDEPENDENCE

Chronic diarrhea

Group home offers opportunities for intellectually challenged SPEAKING OF LIFE

HEALTH CLINIC

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW CLARE ROWSON, MD

My friend, who is nearly 80, has been complaining that she is losing weight because â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything goes straight through.â&#x20AC;? Is this normal in older people? She has not been to see her doctor, but I think this needs investigating. She has no other health problems except for arthritis.

I never before realized how precarious our situation was until I had to spend a few moments chatting with oncologists and their staff at a cancer clinic. The doctors think that I am going to see my way through this little scare and that is a mountain of relief for me but it also made me understand that I need to do something about my son.

He is 37, still living at home and getting out only to work in a rehabilitation program and attend the occasional social for all of the other clients there. My son is intellectually challenged. He can work in a supervised setting and look after himself to a limited extent but he will never be on his own. I would like to see him admitted to a group home and I have talked to various professional people to help me have him admitted. When I look at the care I give my son at home and compare that to the care he will get in a group home, I always talk myself out of it. He needs help from other people, and I have to learn how to accept that and let them into his life but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how.

No one can replicate the care that a mother can give to her children. What you need to understand is that even though no one in the group home is going to become a substitute mom for your son, the home can still give him an exceptional level of good care. Most staff there are dedicated and determined to make life as meaningful for the residents as they possibly can. In past years, the intellectually challenged were placed in large institutions, sometimes behind locked doors, and not given many opportunities. Few relationships with staff and residents were positive. Your son can now go into a home and build some relationships with residents and staff. He should be

Old age is not a disease but any unusual symptom or change in bodily functions needs to be fully medically investigated. Chronic diarrhea is defined as loose, frequent or watery stools lasting for four weeks or more. There are some long-term bowel diseases, which can cause these symptoms, although it is most likely that your friend would have been diagnosed with one of these at a much earlier age. They include Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease or gluten sensitivity and irritable bowel syndrome. Diarrhea can also occur after abdominal surgery or removal of the gallbladder. You may be surprised to hear that chronic diarrhea or watery stools, sometimes with incontinence, is often the result of constipation or fecal impaction. Because the stool is hard, the more liquid feces needs to escape and so it finds a way to leak around the obstruction. This is quite common in the elderly population and is frequently seen in long-term care homes. A physical examination of the abdomen should determine if this is the case, and laxatives or an enema may be all that is needed to remedy the situation. If constipation is not discovered, then the doctor needs to do blood tests, which should include a complete blood count, liver function tests and electrolyte levels. When â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything goes straight through,â&#x20AC;? the bowels may not have time to absorb vitamin B12, folic acid, calcium and iron. This is known as malabsorption syndrome and supplements may be required. Stools should be examined for intestinal parasites such as Giardia and bacteria such as C. Difficile. Some viruses may also be the culpr its. However, microscopic examination and culture may not always show positive results. A stool test for fecal occult or hidden blood should also be performed. Further investigations may be required if colorectal or other intestinal cancers are suspected. They include a colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, endoscopy or an upper gastrointestinal tract examination or a barium X-ray. Laxative abuse should also be investigated because it is common in older people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always admit it.

MODERNIZATION ACT

Changes proposed to transportation legislation Railway accountability and transparency targeted BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Canadian agricultural organizations have proposed amendments to the federal transportation modernization act even as they urge swift passage and royal assent. The amendments, developed through the Crop Logistics Working Group, were presented to the House standing committee on transportation earlier this month. The committee reconvened a week before Parliament’s regular sitting to hold hearings on Bill C-49. Cereals Canada chief executive officer Cam Dahl told the committee that the nine technical amendments would improve railway accountability and transparency. Western grain growers are still smarting from the 2013-14 backlog that cost them an estimated $5 billion and damaged Canada’s reputation. Dahl said he still gets questions about Canadian logistics when he travels to other countries. “We cannot afford another one,” he said of the backlog. “We have a large crop to move (this year) despite the drought conditions.” The grain sector wants amendments related to the data railways would be required to publish. It

says the information should be made public by the Canadian Transportation Agency within two days of receipt rather than the proposed seven, that the carriers should report within five days of the end of a reporting week, not 14, and that these provisions should come into effect 60 days after royal assent, not one year. Norm Hall, first vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said one year is too long. “That’s ridiculous,” he said in an interview after appearing at committee. Farmers also want the railways to provide operational plans to the transport minister so the entire value chain can properly plan. The other recommendations deal with long-haul interswitching, known as LHI, a proposal designed to replace the extended 160-kilometre interswitching in previous, temporary legislation with 1,200 km. Several witnesses noted that the bill should be clarified to ensure that LHI orders consider the reasonable direction of traffic and its destination. Currently, the legislation states shippers aren’t entitled to apply for LHI if they are within 30 km of an interchange. The crop logistics working group

Changes to long-haul interswitching distances and better interchange access are among recommendations. | FILE PHOTO noted that discriminates against grain elevators serviced by two railways. “Shippers need to be able to access interchanges that make the most logistical and economic sense, not necessarily the interchange that’s the closest,” said Wade Sobkowich from the Western Grain Elevators Association.

NATURE’S DESIGN KICKSTART YOUR SOYBEANS

Optimize ST ®

He said the provision is of little or no value if the nearest interswitch takes traffic in the wrong direction. The grain industry also wants commercial competitive rates for LHI determined by costs, not revenue as the act states. “The local rates may not be commercially competitive due to the monopoly power held by carriers at single points,” noted a background paper submitted to the committee. Sobkowich said basing the rates on historical revenue would enshrine monopoly rate setting. Spokespersons for Canada’s two Class 1 railways spoke against LHI, saying they would lose market share to American carriers. Jeff Ellis, chief legal officer at Canadian Pacific Railway, said the company wasn’t a fan of extended interswitching under the previous Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act, but he doesn’t like LHI either. He said moving a significant amount of revenue to U.S. railroads while the North American Free Trade Agreement is being renegotiated “strikes us as an unwise public policy choice.” Canadian National Railway’s vice-president of corporate development and sustainability, Janet Drysdale, said railways are most profitable on long hauls and would be hesitant to hand traffic over to a competitor that offers a lower rate because it gets the longer haul. She said shippers aren’t

captive to one mode of transportation if trucking is available. The bill as it stands would exclude LHI in the VancouverKamloops corridor, as well as Quebec-Windsor. Dr ysdale said another area should be created to include shippers located within 250 km of the Canada-U.S. border. “That would mean between half and two-thirds of the prairie grain would not be eligible for interswitch,” Hall said. “That’s unacceptable.” Murad Al-Katib, who heads AGT Foods and was a member of the CTA review that ultimately led to Bill C-49, said shippers are anxious because they don’t understand if LHI can actually be implemented. “It can be an effective mechanism to combine both the interswitching and the competitive line haul rates,” he said, but there has to be expedited renewal of orders to keep traffic moving. Grain industry spokespersons urged quick passage of the legislation. Jeff Nielsen, president of Grain Growers of Canada, said his members are happy with the intent of the bill but want minor amendments. In addition to the technical amendments, the industry has asked for soybeans to be included in maximum revenue entitlement calculations. karen.briere@producer.com

AG MARKETING

‘Earth apples’ tap into growing urban farm niche Alberta company shows customers how to grow potatoes in gardens or deck pots BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

STONY PLAIN, Alta. — Phil Bakker’s potatoes are taking local to a whole new level. He’s not only feeding urbanites; he’s teaching them how to grow, too. He calls the seed potatoes Earth Apples, a term many languages use for potato, such as the French term “pomme de terre.” “It’s been a good name because it helps us differentiate in a highly commoditized industry,” said Bakker, director of sales and marketing with the company based in Stony Plain, Alta. But these potatoes, which come in 10 different varieties, aren’t the kind normally found in the grocery aisle. They’re small, flavourful and some are colourful. “My goal is to show people what’s out there,” Bakker said. “Too often, I come to garden centres and there’s just the traditional varieties.” The product comes at a time

when consumers are demanding more local goods, especially ones they can grow in pots or in their backyards. But what helps Earth Apples stand out, Bakker said, is how it connects producers with consumers because urban dwellers are taught how to grow them. “It definitely does bridge that gap,” he said. “Some want to get into growing but they don’t really know how, so this product really teaches them how to grow and opens those doors.” Bakker’s parents’ company, Solanum International, opened the doors to launch Earth Apples. Solanum works with seed potato farmers in the Stony Plain and Spruce Grove region, offering 40 to 50 varieties. “We were getting a lot of requests for potatoes through our Solanum website, which at the time, we weren’t set up to do,” Bakker said. “So we then thought this might be an opportunity to diversify because we have so many neat varieties,

Phil Bakker, director of sales and marketing with Earth Apples, holds a bundle of Labella seed potatoes. He sells them to city dwellers so they can grow them on their balconies. | JEREMY SIMES PHOTO and there is this growing interest in urban farming or just growing on balconies.” Earth Apples uses 10 of Solanum’s varieties. It sells seed potatoes that look and taste unique, as well as ones that are generally easier to grow. They are sold in one kilogram boxes and each box contains directions so consumers know how to grow them. “I try to fine-tune my portfolio with varieties that serve a certain purpose,” Bakker said. “We try not to have varieties that are in the

same category, and that seems to work pretty well.” He said the potatoes are harvested around late summer and then stored until February, when they are retrieved for processing. When it’s time to bag, Bakker uses a machine with a conveyor belt to help sort and weigh the potatoes. He said business is growing at a steady pace. “It’s not explosive growth, but we don’t want that because your quality goes down,” he said. “The goal is always to put out a good quality

product, and I’m pretty particular in how I want it to look.” But expansion is happening at a more moderate pace. He is looking to expand in California and make his way into Ontario. Last season, Earth Apples were sold to consumers in Western Canada. “Potatoes have become highly commoditized and we want to try to venture from that,” Bakker said. “That comes with some risk, but so far the feedback has been pretty good.” jeremy.simes@producer.com

It comprised senior representatives of the Canadian Wheat Board, the Board of Grain Commissioners, the three prairie wheat pools, the North-West Line Elevators Association, United Grain Growers, Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway.

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.

Saskatchewan Premier Ross Thatcher promised on the campaign trail that if re-elected, his Liberal government would establish at least one more agricultural college in one of the province’s smaller cities.

75 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 24, 1942 The Wartime Prices and Trade Board was considering ways to keep beef prices under control as the country experienced an “acute” shortage of the meat. A price ceiling already existed, but board chair Donald Gordon said consumer rationing and allocation of supplies could be necessary to ensure fair distribution. However, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture expressed “complete disgust and disagreement” with Gordon’s statement, saying it expected beef prices to go down rather than up.

25 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 24, 1992 Cattle producers across northern Alberta and British Columbia were weaning and shipping calves earlier than normal because drought meant they couldn’t afford to keep them until November. Most of the calves went to feedlots in southern Alberta and the United States. Federal Agriculture Bill McKnight had little sympathy for the Saskatchewan government as it asked for more help for its beleaguered farmers. McKnight said he had warned the province that it could face a financial crisis if it changed Gross Reve-

10 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 27, 2007 The Canadian loonie reached par

with the U.S. dollar, which was great news for national pride but terrible for farmers’ profits. “We all knew this day was going to come one day, and everyone was enjoying it when the dollar was at 80 cents or less, and it’s not going to be the end of the world, but it’s really going to squeeze things,” said Larry McIntosh, general manager of the Peak of the Market vegetable

growers co-operative. Canadian consumers would soon be learning about wheat — that is, if they read the label. The wheat board and Robin Hood planned to put a label on five million bags of flour explaining the history and quality of wheat produced in Western Canada. bruce.dyck@producer.com

$4.4 MILLION FOR AG INNOVATION The Canadian government recently announced $4.4 million in funding for projects it says will help expand markets and ensure farmers stay innovative. Of that, $2.2 million will go to projects that support the cattle industry in Alberta and across Canada. The cattle projects include: • $839,485 for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association to explore the use of remote sensing as a tool for forage crop insurance

• $901,240 to help the Alberta Beef Producers develop satellite data to improve forage insurance • $225,000 to help the Canadian Angus Association develop tools to enhance breeding cattle • $205,500 for the National Cattle Feeders Association to develop and implement a national feedlot animal care assessment program The remaining funds, which make up slightly more than $2.2 million, will support projects the government says will support innovation, market development, emergency planning, competitive pricing, animal-care assessment and farm software development. VET RECEIVES BOVINE WELFARE AWARD Dr. Joyce Van Donkersgoed of Coaldale, Alta., was recently named recipient of the 2017 Metacam 20 Bovine Welfare Award for her leadership in the Canadian beef industry to improve the welfare of feedlot animals.

BARLEY SECTOR

Grower checkoff to fund malting barley promotion, research Barley groups from the three prairie provinces will collect funds to support initiatives of the technical centre BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre in Winnipeg has reached a new funding agreement. The CMBTC will receive core funding from Alberta Barley, the Manitoba Wheat & Barley Growers Association and the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission (Sask Barley). Funding will be collected through a farmer checkoff and used to support CMBTC programs, which include market development ini-

tiatives, quality evaluation and technical support services for buyers of Canadian malt barley. “Continued funding from farmers will support the CMBTC’s operations, including our work to introduce promising new varieties to our domestic and international customers,” said Peter Watts, managing director of the CMBTC. “With improved yield and disease resistance, and equal or better quality than existing varieties, the new lines will create value for farmers and help make malting barley an attractive crop to grow.”

The CMBTC conducts research designed to learn more about malting barley performance in malting and brewing processes and to ensure Canadian malting barley meets the needs of end users. Most research conducted at the CMBTC is applied research that directly supports the commercialization of Canadian malting barley. The new funding agreement took effect July 31 and will replace the Western Canadian Deduction checkoff, which provided the CMBTC with three cents per tonne of barley delivered to Canadian

Grain Commission licensed companies during the past five years. The three provincial barley associations have taken over the collection and administration of the checkoff and have agreed to continue funding for CMBTC operations. “One of our main goals at Sask Barley is to strengthen the competitiveness of Saskatchewan’s barley industry and the CMBTC supports this goal by facilitating programs that aim to commercialize Canadian malting barley,” said Sask Barley chair Jason Skotheim in a news release.

“Alberta Barley recognizes the value of the CMBTC’s expertise in malting and brewing, and their work to help create and sustain markets for Alberta’s malting barley farmers,” added Alberta Barley chair Jason Lenz. “It’s part of the Canadian quality brand recognized by our international customers.” Canada is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of malting barley and malt, with combined domestic and international sales revenues of $1 billion annually. brian.cross@producer.com

DAISY RETURNED

Rescue farm relieved after blind goat returned After three days of frantic searching and a reward posted, Daisy was found in a nearby field BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

A blind goat named Daisy is back home after she was believed to have been stolen from an animal rescue farm south of Edmonton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a pretty frantic few days,â&#x20AC;? said Chantele Theroux, a volunteer with the Farm Animal Rescue and Rehoming Movement near Wetaskiwin, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have just been overwhelmed with emotion.â&#x20AC;? The seven-month-old goat, who had its eyes and tongue eaten by crows shortly after it was born, had been missing since Sept. 10 before

she was found late on Sept. 13. Theroux said animal sanctuary staff believe Daisy was stolen because neighbours told them they saw a vehicle they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize enter the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field and heard dogs barking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We then noticed the gate was closed incorrectly,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So with that, combined with what the neighbours saw, we concluded someone had taken her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt fear, shock and disbelief. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite sure what to do.â&#x20AC;? The organization asked for assistance from the RCMP and posted a $10,000 reward for help that leads to locating Daisy on its

She said the communicator pointed search-and-rescue teams to a farm not far from the sanctuary, but they did not find the missing goat there. However, while staff were making their way back to the sanctuary, a neighbour phoned and said she had found Daisy in her field, close to where the communicator suggested initially. When staff retrieved Daisy, Theroux said the goat was â&#x20AC;&#x153;bone dry,â&#x20AC;? which she considered suspicious because it had been raining the night before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daisy would have been wet if she had been there for a while,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we think she was dropped off there. Someone wanted to likely abandon her close to the farm but it was dark outside.â&#x20AC;? Theroux said the neighbour, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be identified, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept the $10,000 reward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just wanted to pay it forward,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re super happy and relieved and hopefully, we can follow up and determine who did this, but there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much we can do about that.â&#x20AC;? jeremy.simes@producer.com

Canadian feed wheat rates high in quality survey Protein levels higher than most people realize BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s feed wheat is top notch, according to a quality survey. Canadian Bio-Systems (CBS) Inc. recently published the results of its third annual survey and once again it shows that protein levels are higher than many people realize. “This wheat is a pretty good ingredient for livestock feed,” said Rob Patterson, technical director for CBS. The feed wheat samples gathered from bins at feed mills and on large livestock operations in late 2016 had an average protein level of 14.3 percent. Patterson said some mills and livestock farms incorporate soybean meal and animal protein into their hog and poultr y rations because they mistakenly believe the feed wheat has much lower protein content. “Maybe we haven’t been giving it as much credit as we ought to,” he said. Augmenting rations with soybean meal can be an expensive proposition. And soybean meal prices can be volatile, nearly doubling in early 2016. Using soybean meal from the United States might not be too costly for a farm in southern Manitoba but it is expensive for one near Edmonton due to transportation costs. If you can use wheat sourced from a neighboring farm it is far more economical, which is why the survey results can be helpful to feed mills and livestock farms. “They can take it for face value

now and start lowering the cost of their rations,” said Patterson. The Canadian Grain Commission publishes wheat quality data but it is focused on good quality wheat destined for export markets. The CBS survey focuses on feed wheat and metrics that are of interest to users of the product, such as protein, starch, neutral detergent fibre, water soluble and water insoluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) as well as phytate and non-phytate phosphorus. Canadian feed wheat has low levels of undesirable water soluble NSP compared to other feed ingredients with an average level of 2.1 percent. “They cause digestibility problems,” said Patterson. “It’s a mess for farmers to clean up the barns after and the animals don’t feel good.” But wheat is high in overall NSP levels at eight to 8.75 percent compared to corn at about six percent. NSP is a component of fibre that is hard for animals to digest and it can trap protein like a cage. CBS produces an enzyme that it sells to the feed industry that breaks down the fibre into digestible chunks and releases the trapped protein, allowing mills and farms to extract even more nutritive value out of feed wheat. Patterson said Canadian feed wheat has been compared to samples from Argentina, Ukraine, Australia and the United States and comes out on top as having the most desirable overall profile of key nutrients. sean.pratt@producer.com

MALT SUPPLY

Ample supply of quality malt barley likely: grower Growers considering holding on to their barley until prices rise risk a decline in germination levels BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The quality of this year’s malting barley crop will be above average in most parts of Western Canada, according to industry sources, thanks largely to favourable harvest conditions during the first half of September. “There’s definitely going to be some shiny barley around this year,” said Brent Johnson, a barley grower and Sask Barley board member from Strasbourg, Sask. “Certainly, quality should be at a fairly high level, just based on the weather that we’ve had in the last few weeks,” added Jason Lenz, chair of the Alberta Barley Commission. “Over these last three weeks, there’s been lots of barley taken off that’s in pretty good shape.” For Canadian maltsters, this year’s high-quality harvest will likely result in tighter selection specs than what many producers have been accustomed to lately. Maltsters generally look for barley with lower protein, in the range of 11 or 12 percent.

Germination is another important selection criteria. Samples with higher germination are preferred over samples that have lower germination levels and more chitting.

JASON LENZ ALBERTA BARLEY COMMISSION

Lenz and Johnson said germination levels in early harvested barley samples should be very good and chit levels are likely to be well below what the industry has seen over the past two years. This is good news for maltsters, brewers, beer drinkers and malt barley exporters. But it is likely to cause frustration among growers, especially those who grew malting barley on

spec this year. Growers who didn’t sign production contracts could be forced to sell a lot of high-quality barley into lower value feed markets. “I think the feed market is where most of this crop will end up,” said Brent Johnson. If you’re growing malting barley without a contract in a year like this, “it doesn’t really matter whether you have good barley or not, they are still only going to select about 25 percent of what’s grown. “That’s (roughly) … where the market demand is for malting barley in Western Canada.” Some growers may consider holding high quality barley in storage until next year but there are risks associated with that. Barley is bulky and requires significant storage space. In addition, germination levels can decline significantly if barley is stored over a prolonged period. Barley producers in Western Canada often express frustration over malting barley selection specs that can change dramatically from one year to the next. Last year, for example, poor

weather during harvest time meant that much of the barley crop was of relatively low quality. Discolouration and chitting was common in last year’s crop, much of which came off between rains or relatively late in the harvest season. Buyers’ market This year is a different story, Lenz said. A lot of barley in key production areas came off relatively early and early-harvested bushels look to be in excellent shape. “I’d say the maltsters are going to have a smile on their faces this year, for sure,” Lenz said. “I know that there’s definitely going to be better quality coming off this year compared to the last two years….” Although selection specs are expected to be as tight as they’ve been for years, growers can find some solace in news that the price spread between feed and malt is lower than normal. In a usual year, the spread between feed and malt is about $2 per bushel, depending on demand from the feed sector.

Nevertheless, frustration over malt specs that change dramatically from one year to the next are a key reason cited by the Canadian barley industry for an overall steady acreage decline. Many growers are unwilling to deal with the financial risks associated with chasing malt barley premiums and ultimately having to settle for feed barley prices. The Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre (CMBTC) has initiated programs aimed at expanding exports of finished malt and unfinished malting barley. China is a key market for the Canadian industry, where domestic beer production doubled between 2002-11. China’s three largest breweries — Snow, Tsingtao and Yanjing — account for about 10 percent of global beer output each year. Australia is the largest supplier of malt barley to China but Canadian malt or malt barley is often blended with barley sourced from other countries to achieve a higher overall standard of production. brian.cross@producer.com

DECATUR, Ill. — There’s a grain bag in the bin, but it’s not there to keep the grain in. It’s there to kick it out. While farmers might not be leaving their shovels and brooms out at the road by a For Sale sign just yet, they might be able to consider some new technology that will make bins easier and safer to empty. Jonathan Waits of GSI brought out the company’s bag-in-a-bin concept to the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois, earlier this month. “The Flexwave is designed to pull out 99 percent of the grain from a bin before anyone has to even think about going in there,” he said. Engineer Greg Trame said the design is deceptively simple. A pair of heavy duty canvas poly tarps are mounted on the side of

THE FLEXWAVE SYSTEM CAN BE USED IN BINS UP TO

48’ wide the bin and to a central auger drag. Air is pumped into the areas underneath the tarps, inflating them like balloons. The grain slides into the auger, leaving almost no material inside the bin. Waits said the system actually allows many bins to increase in size because the floor around the auger can be removed. “And it avoids putting people into a bin that could entrap them or cause them to be caught up in the sweeps or augers,” he said. The reduced labour and improved air quality for the farm-

er are added benefits, Waits said. “ It o n l y n e e d s a b o u t o n e (pound per sq. inch) to push the grain into the auger,” he said. “Without the perforated floors, there is nothing to clean up down in the bottom of the bin either.” However, access panels are added to the bottom rings of the bin to get in behind the tarps and for inflation pumps. Trame said the canvas material should last up to 30 years, but each inflatable liner can lift up to about 90 tonnes. Waits said the system is gentler on the grain than bin sweeps or vacuums when it comes to moving the last of the grain out of a bin. Trame said the virtual bin cone that is created allows producers to avoid the legs and cost of a hopper bottom unit and allows those who have very large bins with flat bottoms to enjoy a hopper’s benefits. Waits said the Flexwave will be

available for new bins, 48 feet in diameter and smaller, and a retrofit version is planned. Farmers will be able to buy them next year. “We will start with smaller bins first and get a feel for them on the farm and work our way up,” he said. Last week, the German farmer’s group DLG recognized the innovativeness of the design with one of its Agritechnica Silver awards that will be presented at the giant farm show in Hannover, Germany, in November. michael.raine@producer.com

SOIL SAMPLING

Digging around in the dirt might not be the best way to sample soil An Ontario company says watching the soil die is the better way to understand it BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Reading the soil’s past might be a better way to tell what it can grow in the future. Barry Raymer of Tavistock, Ont., has been developing his system of soil analysis for nearly a decade. The European-born technology senses the degradation of soil to tell what is actually present in the top layer. By working from a few reference dirt samples, the two foot wide sensor can roll over the land on an allterrain vehicle or a vehicle such as a

Jeep to measure nutrients, soil density and coarseness and other agriculturally relevant features without breaking ground. The sensor bar, mounted 24 inches above the field’s surface, measures gamma rays from naturally occurring radio-nuclides such as caesium 137, uranium 238, thorium 232 and potassium 40 and produces 335 measured points per acre. “It’s something you can’t do, even with grid sampling, to get that full picture of the field,” Raymer said while attending Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock. “We take a few core samples for some very precisely located points in the field and get a lab analysis for reference, and that helps guide the model,” he said. In fact, the soil texture, pH and water content is critical to making the mapping model work, as these tend to influence the readings.

The Soiloptix probe measures the first foot’s gamma radiation and uses software to translate the decaying soil signatures into nutrient maps. Paul Raymer of Soiloptix said the company has more than 25 maps that can be built from the data. Macro and micro-nutrients, plant available water, soil texture, pH and salinity can all be found using the tool. “We map organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, soil textures like percentages of clay, sand and silt, plus plant available water and bulk density. We have maps for more than those,” he said about the field maps that producers can get using the technology. “Maps can be made in a couple days and back in farmers’ hands,” he said. Zack Harmer heads programing at the company and says it is developing mapping well beyond the

normal sets that producers and retailers have come to know. “Because it can capture so much data there are lot of options, some more complicated than others,” he said. Producers can use those to build variable rate application plans. Barry Raymer said they are seeing more landlords and tenants using the analysis to establish base lines for land rentals and for landowners looking to sell their fields, “being able to market what is actually being sold, by its productive attributes and capacity, rather than raw acres.” The Ontario company has recently expanded into China, where it is running 10 units, as well as places such as Argentina and Western Canada. “I think it is a good fit for larger fields like those in the Prairies and (U.S) Great Plains,” he said. “Because there is variability, but

with smaller, per acre returns, the information about what is in a field can be magnified in returns, whether from input savings or improved grain yields. “It provides a complete reference for the field, rather than a lot of points or zones created from a bunch of blended samples from what you think are related or like areas.” The Raymers’ business model is based on offering precision agriculture maps for producers on a fee per acre basis. mike.raine@producer.com

Big sprayer from EU comes up from Down Under Hardi has brought its latest high capacity sprayer to North America, after a season in Australia BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Hardi might have crossed its own Rubicon with a step into the frontmount boom sprayer business. Front-mounted boom sprayers have been taking up a greater portion of the market in the agricultural world, especially in high capacity rigs. Hardi has long been known for its air assisted and downdraft boom systems and large nozzle selection, but until the introduction of its rearmounted self-propelled, three model lineup of sprayers, the largest capacity was the 1,300 gallon Saritor. Adding the front mounted boom Rubicon, at 2,200 gallons, brings the company squarely into competition with Deere’s Hagie and New Holland’s Miller acquisitions. The Hagie STS 16 and the New Holland SP.400F have a 1,600 gallon tank and 132 and 135 foot boom maximums. Hardi also came to the model through an addition to the company of the French Matrot farm equipment

The filling station on the Hardi Rubicon 9000 drops down to 28 inches from the ground.

The Hardi Rubicon 9000 can run at 20 inches from the ground at 30 m.p.h., with turning ability at 20 m.p.h. , while the booms remain level with the soil or crop.

ing the big 160 foot unit that sits on the front of the Rubicon. Available in 120, 150 and 160 feet, the Rubicon offers a wide, wider and widest approach to coverage. At 20 m.p.h. in the field, it can cover about 300 acres per hour at 10 gallons per acre, potentially about 3,000 acres in a long day. In Europe, the Rubicon is seen as the blue Matrot, but in Australia and North America it comes in Hardi red.

However he has sold one in Ontario and one was marketed at the Farm Progress Show in Illinois a few weeks earlier. “The large tank means less down time filling and more spraying time,” said McCutcheon. Being a front mounted boom, these fold only twice, despite their length. Canadian made Norac boom control takes care of keeping the big boom running level, no matter what the wheels are going over. The system is capable of running

at 30 m.p.h. just 20 inches from the ground for burnoff or lower crop applications. When turning at that height at 20 m.p.h., the system uses both hydraulics and spring tension to manage those loads. Driven by four hydraulic motors, the hydrostatic system is powered by a 380 horsepower Cummins Tier 4 engine for North America and Europe. Handling the power is a Danfoss H1 transmission. At about 59,000 pounds loaded, the machine is not light, so each wheel unit has its own suspension that moves in and out with the wheel track adjustment, which ranges from 118 to 157 inches. “The ride is very good on this machine. Very stable, not much pitching under braking or acceleration,” said McCutcheon. The cab-forward design offsets the engine and transmission at the back, while fuel, sprayer and rinse tanks are in the middle of the chassis. C o m p u t e r c o nt ro l ove r t h e engine, transmission and wheel motors means the system gets looked at 86 times per wheel revolution. An AgLeader 9600 unit handles sprayer controls and guidance. Flow to the booms comes in the form of a 180 gallon per minute Ace centrifugal pump pushing through a pulse width modulation valve.

Reloading happens 28 inches from the ground and with the station folding back up under the right hand side panels. Chemical flows out to the ends of the boom, and midpoints, when spraying is underway. When not spraying, boom recirculation takes over and chemical flows through the system from right to left, leaving it ready to spray when the valves get their signals. Auto-height boom control is also available, letting sensors determine crop height and manage the booms accordingly, at up to 22 m.p.h. Air pressure runs the sectional nozzle controls. Baffles keep 2,200 gallons of material under control inside the stainless tank, while a tank-length sump ensures it cleans out from end to end. mike.raine@producer.com

MANITOBA OPEN FARM DAYS

SUMMIT ON CANADIAN SOIL HEALTH

Soil erosion costs $3.1 billion in losses BY JOHN GREIG FREELANCE WRITER

Soil degradation has slowed, but it continues at a significant rate and we should guard against becoming complacent about it, attendees heard at the recent Summit on Canadian Soil Health in Guelph. “There’s a steady decline in interest in soil conser vation. I see recently a strong and pervasive belief that we know everything we need to know about soil degradation,” said Dr. David Lobb, of the University of Manitoba, including a “sense of fatigue” about the topic when talking to government and policy people, he said. Lobb recently completed a study that reported about $3.1 billion worth of crop production capacity is lost due to soil erosion. He said he is worried that the long-term focus on soil health is being lost. “It’s not just the mouldboard plow. If we don’t talk about soil movement, we are not going to solve the problem,” he said, pointing at chisel plows and hoe drills used in Western Canada as significant soil movers. “Vertical tillage: it makes me explode when people call it conservation tillage,” he said. The end of summerfallow and popularity of no-till in Western Canada has brought major reductions in soil loss caused by wind. In Eastern Canada, Lobb said issues surrounding the use of tillage continue. No-till farming has declined in Ontario mainly because it is difficult to consistently and easily obtain similar yields from no-till fields than those that have some tillage. That creates more chances for soil erosion. Ken Laing, an organic farmer from near St. Thomas, Ont., described what he called the “new soil health paradigm” as using farming practices that leave no bare soils, making sure soil is filled in with cover crops, and reducing or eliminating soil disturbance through tillage. He also said livestock integration is important. Laing has planted cover crops for decades, but he admitted that organic farming has problems with parts of the new soil health paradigm. “A major challenge for organic farmers in the new paradigm is reducing tillage,” said Laing. Organic farmers have to use tillage to control weeds, integrate manure and to kill a previous year’s crop or cover crop. Weed control alone often means numerous tillage passes in a growing season. Laing is working with different types of organic no-till and planting into growing crops, with variable results from year to year. Bob Sandford, a professor at the international think-tank United Nations University, said he’s encouraged by what he saw on soil summit tours in Canada, but there must be more focus on earth systems, including soil health. “We forget that agriculture is the foundation of our civilization. Agriculture saved us once with green revolution, but it needs to

save us again from unintended issues of the green revolution.” The next green revolution needs to integrate climate, soil and water security at a global level, at the same time as increasing agriculture productivity, he said. Lori Phillips, an Agriculture Canada soil microbiologist at the Harrow Research and Development Centre, said the golden age of soil microbiology is now underway with new genetic tools that help us identify a small proportion of the microbes that live in soils and also help us understand their functions.

CATTLE

Weighing the pros & cons Cattle with growth implants must reach a higher weight to reach a higher grade

MICHELLE HOULDEN ILLUSTRATION

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Weight gain with growth promotant implants is a known issue in the feedlot trade but definitely not a major concern. Implanted cattle must be taken to a higher weight to achieve the same quality grade as an animal without an implant. Put another way, to reach AAA, the final carcass weight of an implanted animal must be 15 to 40 kilograms higher than an animal fed without a growth promotant. However, that reality isn’t top of mind for most folks in the feedlot sector. “The industry standard is to use an implant, so that just gets factored in,” said Sandi Parr, professional services production consul-

tant, team lead with Feedlot Health Management Services in Okotoks, Alta. In 2013, Parr hosted a webinar looking at the impact of growth promotants on carcass quality. In it, she said nonimplanted cattle typically reach an AAA grade at a lighter weight than implanted animals. The obvious question is why. Parr, a vet trained at Texas Tech University, said it’s related to nutrition priorities during growth. For most animals, including cattle, the body’s first priority is to use calories for bone development. The second priority is for muscle growth. “Then at the very end, kind of the lowest priority, is fat deposition,” she said.

“(But) when you give an implant, you’re increasing your bone growth and increasing your protein deposition, so more of the calorie pool is going to be shifted over there.” The Beef Cattle Research Council, which funds beef research in Canada, has a slightly different explanation on its website. It said adding fat requires more than twice the amount of feed energy than adding protein, or muscle. As well, muscle tissue con-

tains around 70 percent water while fat tissue has less than 25 percent water. “This means that for ever y ten pounds of muscle gained, about three lb. comes from dry feed and seven lb. comes from water,” the website said. This ratio is reversed for fat growth (roughly seven lb. from dry feed and three lb. from water). Because implants discourage fat deposition, more days on feed are needed to add the necessary fat to increase marbling and improve grade. If implanted cattle must be taken to a higher weight to reach a higher grade, it does increase the amount of feed and number of days on feed. Nonetheless, the economics clearly show that implants are

worth the extra cost at the tail end of feeding, Parr said. “The advantage that you gain by utilizing an implant, in terms of gain and improvements in feed conversion, would way more than compensate,” she said, adding that feedlot operators focus on feeding margins rather than additional days on feed. “My cost of gain is a $1 and my live price is a $1.16, so I’m making 16 cents for every pound of weight I’m putting on that animal.” The BCRC said “aggressive” implant regimes can be detrimental to carcass quality, especially if used on certain breeds of cattle. Parr said breed is part of the story but there’s not enough research or data showing how breed and implants, in combination, affects beef quality. “Breed is just kind of the unknown,” she said. “(But) you can counter-balance that (breed) by taking cattle heavier.” robert.arnason@producer.com

ANIMAL HEALTH

Haven’t heard about the code for horse care and handling? You’re not alone Horse owners encouraged to answer survey on code until Oct. 31 BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

More than half of Canada’s horse owners know about the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Equines but 43 percent aren’t aware of it at all, according to preliminary results from a survey of horse owners undertaken by the Horse Welfare Alliance of Canada. The alliance began a survey in March that runs until Oct. 31 so the numbers will change once final results are tabulated. The equine code was last updated in 2013 through the National Farm Animal Care Council. Mikki

Shatosky, project co-ordinator for the alliance, said the initial figures are not surprising but they are disappointing. “It’s a free resource that people can use to answer their questions on equine care,” said Shatosky. “It’s got so many things, like housing, shelter, foot care, all those different standards for the animals’ care.” As of Sept. 22, 1,608 responses had been received from horse owners across the country, with 57 percent saying they are aware of the code. Of those respondents, 27 percent had read all of it, 48 read only sections they considered applicable to their immediate needs and 11 percent hadn’t read it at all. Shatosky hopes for a larger response as the survey continues. Part of the problem is the scattered nature of horses and horse owners, she said.

Ranchers may own one or two for actual use, pleasure riding or simply as pasture ornaments. Reading the code is not high on the priority list. Many other horse owners don’t belong to an organized horse club or group and so don’t receive information from an organization about the code and its contents. However, low awareness does not mean horse health and welfare is lacking, said Shatosky. “The majority of people are taking care of their animals. People have horses for a reason. They love their animals. “I don’t think it’s being concerned about the animal so much as trying to get to the people so they can see what the standards are, and even to hold up the document and say ‘we meet these standards’ if someone is challenging them.” The objective of the survey is to

“gauge awareness, implementation and compliance” with the code of practice. Among respondents who said they used the code, most said they are in full compliance with the requirements. Those who said they are not in full compliance most frequently cited the sections on safety and emergencies, methods of identification, dental care, facilities for special needs and health management plans as potentially lacking.

HOGS

Should hog barns be renovated or rebuilt? Hog producers urged to put careful thought into how to convert their barns from gestation stalls to open housing BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Saving old barns can be cost effective, but it has to be done right, an Ontario hog barn developer and converter told Manitoba hog producers Sept. 13. “Listen to your gut,” Murray Elliott told the Prairie Swine Centre’s Open Housing Seminar in Winnipeg. “Most (contemporary conversions to open housing) are a combination of new and renovations. Most of these buildings are saveable.” Canadian hog farmers are in the early stages of converting thousands of hog barns from gestation stall systems to open housing systems. While the conversion to a new style of production is spurred by changes to Canada’s hog welfare code, new construction and renovations are also being driven by the wearing out of huge numbers of buildings built in the 1990s. “We’ve got a chance to think this thing through again,” said Elliott. He urged farmers to do that thinking carefully. A large number of decisions need to be made when deciding whether or not to renovate or scrap old buildings and how to build the best open housing barn system.

MURRAY ELLIOTT BARN DEVELOPER

Hog farmers need to examine their barn’s foundation, the pit floor, the upper walls, ceiling, attic and trusses for damage and decay before deciding whether to renovate or rebuild. | FILE PHOTO “We will be making some mistakes,” Elliott said about the industry conversion from stalls to open housing for gestating sows. However, done carefully, renovations can make good economic sense.

HERD MANAGEMENT

Money left on the table for U.S. cull cattle: audit

“Almost every renovation is going to cost you 50 percent of new,” said Elliott. “If you hit 75 percent … if it was mine, I wouldn’t do it.” Old farrowing barns can be con-

verted into new dry sow barns, often involving an expansion to house today’s bigger pigs. Most conversions involve building new farrowing barns, and using the existing buildings for other parts of the production system. Which buildings can be safely renovated? Elliott said farmers need to examine the foundation, the pit floor, the upper walls, ceiling, attic and trusses for damage and decay. Some buildings won’t be worth saving. “If your foundation’s no good, write that barn off and move on.” Attics often have the most damage. However, if careful examination suggests the barn can be renovated for about $20 per sq. foot (shell only), then it could be a reasonable investment. New buildings cost about $36 per sq. foot.

Before doing anything, producers need to talk carefully with their staff, the builders, suppliers and genetics suppliers about their plans. Many of these players will have good suggestions and feedback that can save future headaches. “You really need to have a plan,” Elliott said. Barn workers can handle the disruptions of construction and renovation if a producer decides to keep production flowing, but operators need to understand how they’ll feel. “It’s tough on staff.” However, it’s often done and can work well. Elliott urged farmers to go beyond simply replacing existing capacity with new capacity. A reengineered barn system can do more than simply replace existing production. “Think of this as a better place for sows to live in and people to work in,” said Elliott. That could include a specific trucker entrance to improve biosecurity, better showers and changing rooms for staff and pig spaces that provide the best possible life for the animals. “I want you to build this barn with the spirit of the code in mind,” said Elliott. ed.white@producer.com

CONGRATULATIONS $1000, Agrology Scholarship Recipients

American cattle producers are potentially foregoing US$122.77 per head in “lost opportunities” on slaughter cows and bulls. The U.S. National Market Cow and Bull Beef Quality Audit, released earlier this month, calculated the cost of various factors at slaughter that potentially reduce the return producers can get on their cull cows and bulls. The 2016 total was much higher than the same calculation for 1999 at $62.46 and 1994 at $59.73, but changes in marketing conditions and higher prices offered for carcasses and their various cuts have to be factored into the assumptions. Results of the slaughter cow and bull audit were presented Sept. 7 via webinar. Deb VanOverbeke of Oklahoma State University outlined the list of factors that reduce producers’ profits. Among the 10 factors assessed, the most costly is excess external fat on carcasses, a potential $55.11 loss per head. Inadequate muscling can cost $31.59. Yellow-coloured external fat on carcasses can deduct an estimated $12.47 from the value. White fat is more highly desired by retailers and consumers. Other factors included hide defects at $7.47, whole carcass condemnations at $6.82, bruises at $3.41, head, tongue and liver con-

ANIMAL WELFARE

New bison code of practice good info for beef producers ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

nimal welfare is the underlying theme of Canada’s livestock codes of practice, and the recent bison update is no exception. It is a must read for bison producers and those contemplating getting into the business, but cattle producers would also benefit from reading it.

The committee that developed the code comprised individuals involved in the raising, care and marketing of bison. The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency also had input and all changes had unanimous consensus. A few additions were made to the original code that the beef industry may be able to use in future releases of its codes. The bison code has seven sections, 10 appendices and 70 pages and is well sub-sectioned to facilitate finding a specific topic. As well, a detailed glossary of terms also makes it readable for the general public. These codes become our connection to the animal welfare practices

Guidelines on humane euthanasia also apply to beef producers. | FILE PHOTO we use and can be a means of communicating to the general public how we raise animals on our farms and ranches. Bison are flight orientated animals, which is why a large section

covers low stress handling and the specialized equipment necessary to process bison. Bison producers have become more adept at handling their animals, and an appendix deals with an animal welfare audit that can easily document in a numerical way things done during processing such as trips, falls, broken horns and restrictions on prod use. The audit can be used to show improvements in handling and identify ways that handling facilities can be improved. The bison code covers topics not seen in other codes, such as preventing escapes. Sections include fencing, processing facilities, flight zones and pre-loading. The code mentions locking

perimeter gates, but it was felt that bison can still escape, regardless of the precautions that producers take, due to damaged and cut fences, falling trees or snow drifts that build up too high. I know several bison producers who always check fences after severe snow or windstorms. Good guidelines on how to get help and whom to use may give producers peace of mind. Beef producers run into the same predicament, but other dangers include a highway accident or cattle liner rollover. There are people out there who can help. Pain control requirements were put forward for processing procedures, including: • dehorning, which seldom happens in most herds, although tipping is practiced • branding, which the code clearly states should not be done for herd identification but is necessary for some regulatory authorities (branding is no longer required for feeder bison entering the United States) • castration, which is almost never done, except for pets raised as orphans All of these painful procedures were covered, as well as ways to treat the pain. Keep in mind that all products used in bison production are extra-label, so veterinary prescriptions are often required. Multiple references were made about when veterinary intervention is needed or when to contact a veterinarian. This more closely defines the veterinar y client patient relationship. Some bison producers farm in remote locations and some areas have no veterinarians comfortable dealing with bison, which means this was a much better approach to specify when veterinary or other professional consultation may be necessary. The section on euthanasia also applies to on-farm butchering and putting bison down to transport to a processing facility. This comprehensive chapter, which includes the calibre of bullets and size of guns necessary to do the job humanely, should act as a valuable reference source for even on-farm butchers and packing plants that deal with bison and beef. A few pictures showing shot placement for a humane death are included, which I think will benefit both bison and beef producers. The people responsible for developing the code are listed at the back and are available if further questions come up. A hard copy of the code is being distributed to all Canadian Bison Association members and all mixed animal veterinary practices in Western Canada, and copies are available from all bison code committee members. Please take the time to go through a copy because even experienced bison producers will find lots of valuable information. Other countries, including the U.S., don’t have these codes, so Canada is again leading the way when it comes to animal friendly meat protein production.

PRIVATIZATION

CAPI PRESIDENT

Saskatchewan agricultural lawyer takes helm of food policy think-tank ‘Contagious enthusiasm’ nets Don Buckingham top job at the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

One day at the University of Saskatchewan, about 40 years ago, Don Buckingham looked around and noticed something was missing. It wasn’t bell-bottom jeans or sideburns; there was no shortage of those things on campus back in the 1970s. Buckingham, a law student at the time, realized that soon-to-be and practicing lawyers were ignoring an obvious career path in Saskatchewan. “This (was) very strange. We were in one of the most heavily a g r i c u l t u ra l p rov i n c e s a n d nobody (was) doing agricultural law,” said Buckingham, who grew up on a mixed farm near Lloydminster, on the Saskatchewan side. After his observation, Buckingham decided that agricultural law was a massive opportunity and something he couldn’t pass up. He chose to make food, farming and agricultural trade the focus of his legal career. The decision proved to be a wise one. Buckingham has enjoyed a diverse career for 30 plus years, including stints teaching law, a judge overseeing an agricultural tribunal in Canada and the author of numerous books on farm and food law. Buckingham’s latest triumph is being named chief executive officer and president of the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute, a think-tank based in Ottawa. He joined CAPI this summer, taking over from David McInnes. “During the lengthy search undertaken by CAPI we encountered many highly qualified people,” Ted Bilyea, CAPI chair, said earlier this year.

We’re having trouble, right now, moving grain on the Prairies with our current production levels. What’s that going to be like … if we double it? And is anybody going to be prepared to buy it? DON BUCKINGHAM CANADIAN AGRI-FOOD POLICY INSTITUTE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“But few demonstrated the vision, understanding of issues, organizational strength and contagious enthusiasm of Dr. Buckingham.” Buckingham has been an agricultural legal expert for decades, dealing with complex issues like international trade regulations, but he led off a telephone interview by talking about his agricultural roots in northwestern Saskatchewan. “I was a summer farmer,” he said. “Every year for 10 years I came home, in the ’70s and ’80s, and would put the crop in and would try to get the crop off before I went back to university…. So I got a pretty good feel for primary production.” After earning his degree in Saskatoon and then studying at the University of Cambridge in England, Buckingham worked as a law professor at the University of Western Ontario, the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Ottawa in the 1990s and 2000s. During his academic career Buckingham focused on trade of ag commodities like wheat, but also legal matters closer to the farmgate. “Supply management, property

issues, finance … farm succession,” he said. • In 1999, Buckingham coauthored Agriculture Law in Canada. • In 2006, he left academia and took a job, for three years, as legal counsel for the federal government within Agriculture Canada. • In 2009, he became chair of the Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal, a body that settles legal disputes within the ag industry. As an example of a dispute at the tribunal, a hog farmer in Manitoba may have loaded pigs that weren’t in good health onto a truck. Some of the animals died during transport. So the Canadian Food Inspection Agency fined the producer, say $20,000, for negligence. However, the farmer could challenge the fine and present his side of the story through the Agricultural Review Tribunal. “I was the judge on those cases,” Buckingham said. “(It was) all very interesting. In eight years I saw a lot of Canada, (from) Nanaimo all the way to Bathurst, N.B.” Buckingham’s latest job, leading a think-tank, diverges from his

chosen career in agricultural law but he’s excited about the opportunity. He sees CAPI as a forum that b r i n g s a g r i c u l t u ra l l e a d e r s together. “There are a lot of different voices … and those voices need to be heard,” he said from his office in Ottawa, adding CAPI is about generating ideas for Canada’s agri-food sector. “To look around the corner, to see what is going to be superimportant for Canadian producers and Canadian consumers … in the next two to five years.” Buckingham added that leaders of a think-tank should also ask questions that “are not obvious.” For instance, economists and experts have said that Canada should try to double its agri-food exports. That might be a worthwhile goal but it also raises multiple questions. “We’re having trouble, right now, moving grain on the Prairies with our current production levels. What’s that going to be like … if we double it?” Buckingham said. “And is anybody going to be prepared to buy it? “And another question is: what is doubling the production going to do to the water and the air and nutrients in (prairie) soils.” For the last few years, CAPI has looked at public trust and preserving natural capital, like water, soil and biodiversity, and why those issues are critical for Canada’s agri-food sector. Buckingham hopes to build on those themes, but also wants to focus on agri-food trade. “The whole idea of being 36 million people and producing a lot more food then that … we can’t lose sight of that.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Russia seeks advice on sale of state grain trader MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia has chosen an investment firm to advise it on the sale of a controlling stake in state grain trader United Grain Company, signalling it will press ahead with the privatization despite market uncertainty caused by poor relations with the West. The export of wheat and other agricultural goods from Russia is dominated by privately owned firms, but UGC has played a major role in the domestic market and controls a grain exporting terminal at the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk. Russia’s state development bank VEB said VEB Capital, one of its units, had won the right to advise the Russian government on UGC’s privatization. Under Russia’s privatization plan, aimed at plugging holes in the state budget and approved before U.S. sanctions were signed by President Donald Trump in August, UGC is scheduled to be privatized in 201719. It was not clear whether the choice of the adviser would speed up the sale of the 50 percent plus one share in the company. The rest of it is currently owned by investment group Summa. “Summa is interested in the purchase of the state stake in UGC,” said a Summa spokesperson who asked not to be named in line with Summa’s policy. VEB Capital will now prepare proposals to the government on the planned share sale and will find an agent to estimate UGC’s value. The UGC stake sale could potentially attract interest from foreign trading firms, but Russia has avoided selling port-related infrastructure to foreigners in recent years. UGC is also managing the agriculture ministry’s four million tonne grain stockpile. However, that task should be handed to another state entity before UGC’s privatization, said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, who is in charge of the agriculture sector.

A rancherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success story Forage feeding program catches attention of major food chain and leads to lucrative contract

Testing tools can improve breeding stock BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Ross Macdonald is happy to talk about how he and his wife, Christine Peters, strive to produce quality beef on their ranch near Lake Alma, Sask. Thanks to a series of television commercials, Canadians from coast to coast have now heard their story. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about feeding grass and hay, the couple says during the A&W spot, and raising the type of cattle that can thrive on that diet and on their landscape. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adjust their practices to sell to the fast food chain. They were already selling to Spring Creek Ranch of Vegreville, Alta., which started in 2003 to source and market beef raised without antibiotics or added hormones, full traceability, high marbling and grading scores and sustainable production practices. Spring Creek supplies A&W with Canadian beef that meets its specifications. A&Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing campaign, which promotes beef produced without added hormones or steroids, still draws a lot of criticism, but Macdonald said there is room for producers who choose low-input production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vast majority of contact weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had are from people completely out of the blue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(They say), â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we do this, too, but we felt sort of that we needed to hide it or that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be vocal about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Macdonald said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared to read a pre-scripted message but instead would talk about why they do what they do. Their philosophy is to raise cattle on forages, keep calves over and send them to a feedlot for just a short time. They are working toward quality based on that lowinput method using a Hereford base crossed with Angus genetics. Macdonald said there is more to it than a premium earned by marketing through Spring Creek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the steers that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sold to

Ross Macdonald, Christine Peters and their daughter, Mesa, seen here in a 2014 file photo, supply A&W with beef. They are featured in a recent TV commercial by the restaurant chain. | FILE PHOTO Spring Creek, we get the feedlot and the carcass information back,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made some changes in our breeding program. Although the logic is there when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selecting those genetics, unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re retaining ownership or receiving that information back, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know.â&#x20AC;? After about six years of selling to the Alberta company, the Macdonalds are finally getting enough information to validate their logic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to get enough data now to see that the changes weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making at the ranch levels with s o m e o f t h e u l t ra s o u n d a n d

genomic tools that are available â&#x20AC;Ś are translating to the feedlot side of things as well,â&#x20AC;? he said. Genomics have helped select herd sires that are now producing higher quality carcasses with less time on feed. Some in the industry still promote the practice of feeding higher energy feeds earlier in life to obtain a better carcass grade, but Macdonald said they saw a different opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can select for some of those animals that can provide those higher quality grades off of more forage in their diet, then hopefully when they hit the feedlot it should be even further com-

pounded,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be able to get highly functional forage cattle that also provide high quality feedlot carcasses.â&#x20AC;? Their selections are trending in that direction. Ma c d o n a l d s a i d e c o n o m i c research done in the United States has found that niche or brand advertising doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect overall beef demand. In fact, it enhances it. As well, trade agreements with countries that want beef produced without added hormones and other inputs offer other opportunities for Canadian beef producers. karen.briere@producer.com

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Building better beef begins with better breeding animals and technology now enables producers to identify those animals through more thorough genetic testing. Expected progeny differences, or EPDs, are a common tool used in selecting breeding stock for commercial herds. Genomic enhanced EPDs can provide even better predictions of progeny and allow producers to select animals to improve specific traits within their herds. Lance Leachman of Big Gully Farms near Maidstone, Sask., uses those tools and others to breed stock attractive to commercial producers. He described some of his techniques at last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Beef Industry Conference in Calgary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genomic tests in general have been a benefit to our operation in trying to develop cattle that we are more confident in, at a younger age, as to how they will carry on from a genetic standpoint to the next generation, whether it be used by us or by commercial producers,â&#x20AC;? Leachman said in an interview. A high-density genetic test costs about $75 and analyzes about 70,000 genetic markers. The lowdensity test costs about $40 and checks 30,000 markers. The former provides a higher degree of confidence but even the lower density option provides data on the potential heritability of such things as birthweight, weaning weight, calving ease and other traits. Coupled with general EPD data, it provides good predictions about the offspring of breeding animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can make deductions about young cattle without having any progeny on the ground,â&#x20AC;? said Leachman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inferior ones may never have progenyâ&#x20AC;Ś and perhaps the ones that we do like from a genomic standpoint will be used even heavier than they might have been otherwise.â&#x20AC;? Leachman said many commercial producers use basic EPD information but just as many are not aware of the benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the responsibility of purebred breeders to try and make it simpler, make sure that they understand it, but also take some of the responsibility for trying to breed animals that maybe excel for a variety of traits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then the commercial producer whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maybe purchasing them doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have as intricate a knowledge of each trait or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to try and come up with the animals that are going to work for their particular operation from a trait standpoint.â&#x20AC;? barb.glen@producer.com

FEEDER CALVES

The pros and problems with preconditioning Trusting relationships key to success for buyers and sellers, says specialist BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

As ranchers prepare to buy or sell calves this fall, specialists are weighing in on the value of preconditioning and what it means for better beef. They agree that the practice — which requires feeder calves be vaccinated, castrated, de-horned, experienced in eating from a bunk and weaned for 30 to 45 days before sale — results in more efficient weight gains and healthier animals. “It doesn’t have an effect on meat quality, but it does improve the immune system of the animal because there will be less treatments and they’ll recover quicker if t h e y d o g e t s i c k ,” s a i d Ka r i n Schmid, a beef production specialist with the Alberta Beef Producers. “You will get a better rate of gain when they initially go into the feedlot and that can lower your costs.” But some cattle producers are more rigorous with their preconditioning programs than others, said Schmid. For example, some ranchers may

been preconditioned. “In a low margin business, it’s very difficult to believe what you’re told when you could have a wreck,” Schmid said. To help clear up the situation, it’s now recommended that sellers document calves back to herds of origin, include veterinarians in discussions to verify vaccinations and participate in recognized preconditioning programs. This way,

buyers can feel confident when purchasing. As well, more producers are developing one-on-one relationships with feedlot operators to help build trust, Schmid added. “Where we’re seeing more hold is in retained ownership and direct marketing,” she said. “They’re putting more pounds at home before they sell them so they can see those benefits.”

Still, premiums are hard to measure for Oliver Schunicht, a veterinarian who also preconditions his calves on his cow-calf operation near Okotoks, Alta. Although he said he personally sees gains, it may not make sense for every farmer. “Every individual operation is different,” he said. “I’ve got facilities, I feed a good ration and I have all the time to do that. If you’ve got 35 head and are mainly a grain farmer, to take time off your grain and focus on your calves, it may not make as much sense. “As for the premiums, it’s hard to say. I probably get some, but as for exact amounts, it’s a hard number. It’s something I struggle with all the time.” He said a standardized preconditioning program might help, where premiums are guaranteed and producers who take part have their programs verified and audited. “It’s such a loosely defined thing,” he said, “and we don’t have a good definition and certification.” While Schmid said such a certification program could return if it’s not costly and includes premiums, she highlighted the importance of building trusting relationships. “It takes a lot of work on everyone’s part,” she said. “It’s not a new idea and it’s not rocket science, but it all comes down to what works in individual operations.” jeremy.simes@producer.com

Check our website for your local Dealers! w w w . p r e c i s i o n c a m . c a Many cattle are exhibited during the fall cattle shows. For some producers, showing cattle is how their farm and livestock are advertised. It is a prime opportunity to see the best of the breeds, acquire new stock and participate in friendly competition. Extra care and attention by the exhibitors is required to prevent illness due to stress or co-mingling. Water, feed, rest, exercise, grooming and weather are just a few of the many considerations taken into account to ensure the needs of the animals are met and that they look their best come show day. Months of work spent halter breaking, feeding, grooming and caring for these animals can be shattered by one bad batch of feed, a sick animal, a trailering accident or an abrupt noise causing an animal to panic. What should a member of the public do if a show animal gets loose? Avoid chasing or yelling at the animal, no use of sirens, as all of these will cause added stress. People familiar to the animal should pursue the animal calmly. Always let professionals handle unruly or frightened livestock. Vaccinating livestock well in advance of travel and having a discussion with your veterinarian about the show season can help prevent issues. If livestock are sold out of country, they may need export certiﬁcates and testing completed before their departure. Whether showing, selling or buying livestock, being able to obtain insurance for investments into the herd is important. No one wants to see a $20,000 animal lost, but it’s even worse when there is no insurance. Animal Welfare is always at the forefront any time producers are working with livestock. Treating animals well, keeping them healthy and low-stress handling all add up to happier animals and more proﬁts in the producer’s pocket.

BRANDED BEEF

Why Angus is synonymous with quality beef Association has implemented stringent certification process that is paying off in the marketplace To bear the official CAB designation, cattle have to be Angus influenced and predominantly black. Black white-faced animals or those with white bellies or hind legs are also accepted. Besides a predominantly Angusinfluenced black coat, to earn the Certified Angus Beef brand name, cattle must pass CAB’s 10 quality standard specifications, as listed on its website.

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The power of branding has people thinking Angus when they think beef, said Brian Good of the Canadian Angus Association. “Just the name Angus alone is synonymous with beef,” said the director of field services. But Fred Taylor phrases it in a different way. “A dog is a dog but some are smarter than others,” said the head grader for the Canadian Beef Grading Agency. “They (Certified Angus Beef ) were masters at promoting black cattle to start their program. In restaurants, stores and whatever, they were the masters in my mind at promoting something.” Taylor said CAB is not higher quality than other beef. “It’s not greater than any other branded programs. It’s equal to,” said Taylor, who is a contract grader at Cargill Foods and Harmony Beef in Alberta. “If you had any other breed that was the same amount of marbling and things like that, if it was cooked would you be able to tell the difference? Maybe not.” He said the main requirements for CAB designation is the carcass colour. “The animal has to be black in colour except for its face, its belly.

Marbling and maturity • Modest or higher marbling, for taste. • Medium or fine marbling texture, the white “flecks of flavour” in the beef that ensure consistent flavour and juiciness. • Only the youngest classification of product qualifies as “A” maturity, for color, texture and tenderness. Consistent sizing

Besides a black coat, to earn the Certified Angus Beef brand name, cattle must pass 10 quality standard specifications. | FILE PHOTO

• 10 to 16 sq. inch rib eye area. • 1,050 pound hot carcass weight or less. • Less than one inch of fat thickness Quality appearance and tenderness

There can’t be any white from the shoulders back. And it can have some on its legs a bit,” he said. Taylor said the certification rules have been tightened in the past three months.

“It used to be that it was 51 percent black hided. Well, there was too many others getting into the program and it maybe had a black gene in there somewhere to give it some black,” he said.

• Superior muscling. • Practically free of capillary ruptures. • No dark cutters (ensures visually appealing steak). • No neck hump exceeding two inches (safeguards against cattle with more variability in tenderness).

A standard unique to CAB is not exceeding one inch of back fat. “That’s the only thing that separates them from any other program that has equal marbling levels, which is modest zero and higher,” said Taylor. “Now there are other programs with that same amount of marbling, but theirs (CAB) is black-hided to begin with to prove that it’s Angus.” He said many cow herds in the United States and particularly in Canada have turned to a higher percentage of black in the past 15 years because of more money per pound. “It’s not a set rate, but they might get three cents a pound carcass weight for that animal qualifying to be a CAB. And us as graders, we are the ones that select for these programs in the plant that are certified programs like CAB, Sterling Silver, Angus Pride, ones like that,” he said. Good said CAB’s biggest competitor in Canada is Sterling Silver, which is also a branded program. “As far as I know Sterling Silver has the same specs basically on the carcass side of it as CAB does, but they allow all breeds into it,” he said. “There’s not another program like CAB for size (in Canada). They’ve (CAB) kept driving it and they’ve made it stringent enough to make sure the cattle that are going in there (slaughterhouse) are top quality, follow the regulations and I think that’s paid off for them too by not letting just anything in.” william.dekay@producer.com

A new organic grain company that acquired two wooden crib grain elevators in southern Saskatchewan says more investments will be announced soon. Pipeline Foods Inc., based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, recently bought elevators at Wapella and Gull Lake. The elevators, both located along the Trans-Canada Highway, have been buying organic and nongenetically modified crops since early August. They are Pipeline’s first delivery points in Canada, said Jason Charles, the company’s market director for North American organics. But they probably won’t be the last. “There are several other (ventures) in the works that I can’t talk about right now but there will be news releases coming out regarding those,” he said. Pipeline is working with “several other partners” and is projecting total investments in the North American organic grain industry worth $300 to $500 million over the next three to five years, he added. Pipeline Foods is a relative newcomer to the organic grain industry but the people behind the company have been involved in agriculture for decades, Charles said. Pipeline, incorporated in February 2017, is privately owned. It is licensed and bonded by the Canadian Grain Commission. It was founded by Charles, originally from the Estevan, Sask., area, and three other partners from Minnesota. In less than a year, it has opened offices in Winnipeg, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Missouri, and Buenos Aries, Argentina. It has assembled a workforce of about 50 people. One of Pipeline’s first acquisitions was Charles Commodity Consulting, an organic grain brokerage and consulting firm founded by Charles. It has been buying organic grain in Western Canada for more than a decade and has developed business relationships with hundreds organic producers in Saskatchewan and across the West, Charles said. “Pipeline Foods may not be a household name yet but with my experience and through my previous company, all of these producers that we deal with already know us …,” he said. “This year alone … Pipeline will do upwards of 150,000 tonnes of organic grains in North America.” With Wapella and Gull Lake Pipeline now has four collection points in North America. It also owns an

elevator at Lignite, North Dakota, about 15 kilometres south of North Portal, Sask., and an organic soybean crushing facility in Missouri. Charles said the elevators at Wapella and Gull Lake could potentially handle a combined 60,000 tonnes of organic grain per year. The elevators are part of a larger strategy aimed at creating closer supply chain links between growers and end users . “We want to make sure that every day, there is a competitive bid to buy organic grains out of the Prairies,” Charles said. Pipeline plans to buy a variety of organic crops including barley, rye, corn, flax, lentils, oats, peas, soy-

MONHEIM, Germany (Reuters) — Bayer says the $66 billion deal to acquire Monsanto may be delayed to early next year. The European Commission has been scrutinizing the proposed takeover with a deadline of Jan. 8, but Bayer has asked the regulator for an extension to Jan. 22. The commission has said it is concerned the deal might slow new product development and that the European Union would try to prevent Bayer from becoming too dominant in combined offerings of seeds and pesticides with the help of digital farming tools such as connected sensors, software and precision machines.

beans and wheat. Buying older elevators might seem out of step with the conventional grain industry. But Charles said wooden crib facilities are ideal for the organic industry, which handles lower volumes and has different requirements when it comes to segregation and storage. “Wood crib facilities for the organic industry are a really good fit,” he said. “They’re smaller facilities and they have a lot of smaller bins that allow us to mix and blend and handle several different organic products, day in and day out.” The Wapella facility has total storage capacity of 3,500 tonnes while

Gull Lake has 4,000 tonnes. Holly Peterson, an organic grower from Tompkins, Sask., not far from Gull Lake, said Pipeline’s decision to invest in infrastructure is positive for the organic industry. “Infrastructure is what’s needed in the organic industry so it’s great to have some infrastructure that’s solidly in place,” said Peterson, who runs Heritage Organic Farms Ltd., along with her husband Ray. “There’s been a lot of organic (grain buyers) come and go … but a lot of them only have a telephone and a computer.” brian.cross@producer.com

FEDERAL TAX PROPOSALS

Ag corporations may need to prepare for tax changes MANAGING THE FARM

RON FRIESEN, MNP LLP

he proposed tax changes set to come into effect this year and next as a result of the July 18 finance department discussion paper may have significant implications for your farm. My colleagues and I have run various scenarios to determine how clients may be affected, and what we’ve discovered is concerning. Farmers need to get involved and let Ottawa know the negative effects these changes will have on them, their families and businesses. Income sprinkling In the first scenario, related to income sprinkling, we’ll use a farm corporation in which Mom and Dad are both involved in the business. They have three kids, aged 18 to 24, all of whom are in post-secondary education and involved in the operations, although likely not significantly enough to meet the new “actively engaged on a regular, continuous, and substantial” basis as required by the draft legislation. Each of the children is paid $25,000 a year in dividends from

the corporation. The dividend does not create significant additional personal tax because the company has already paid tax on this, so most or all of it is available to cover tuition and living costs related to attending school. This means that the students have close to $75,000 ($25,000 each) per year available to cover educational costs. Under the new rules, because it would likely be impossible for a full-time student to meet the “actively engaged on a regular, continuous, and substantial” threshold, they would have to pay tax on the dividend at the split income (TOSI) rate, which is approximately 40 percent in Saskatchewan. In order to get the same $75,000 to cover education costs, the corporation would have to pay the kids a total of $125,000, on which the kids would pay $50,000 in tax. Over a four-year post-secondary education period, that’s a $200,000 additional burden to the farm. This significantly reduces your options when it comes to paying for your farming child’s post- secondary education costs. A solution might be to pay the dividends you would have given the children to the parents, which might be taxed at a somewhat lower rate, assuming their dividend in total meets the “reasonableness” test for persons older than 24. Farm sale The second scenario relates to

The legislation related to income sprinkling is unnecessarily complex, adding significant stress to farmers and extra compliance costs in an attempt to determine what each person’s contribution is worth and whether they are subject to the new rules. selling your farm. You’ve probably heard many experts saying that, as a result of the proposed tax changes, you might be better off selling to a third party than transferring your farm to the next generation. If Section 246.1 of the new legislation isn’t revised before the rules go through, that may be true. Under the current rules, the parents could give their farm corporation shares to their children. The company could then buy the farmland from the parents, and the parents would shelter the gain on the land using their capital gains exemption. Under the new rules, there’s no immediate tax on giving the shares to others. However, depending on the future involvement of the kids in the farm, they may be subject to TOSI on future dividends and may not be able to use their capital gains exemption should they sell the shares to a third party. Most concerning is the fact that the transfer of the land to the children’s company may create a dividend to the parents, which would be taxed at a high rate. This is because the wording of Section 246.1 is nebulous. It talks about the purpose of the transaction, and

Quality vs Quantity

if one of the purposes is to remove cash from a non-arm’s length corporation (the children’s farm company), the capital gain eligible for the capital gain exemption is converted to a taxable dividend. On a gain of $1 million, this could convert a tax-free transaction to a $400,000 tax liability and up to $800,000 on a $2 million gain. However, there are no such issues if the land is sold to the arm’s length neighbour’s company. The same situation could apply to production quota. By selling to a third party, you pay tax on half the income or use your capital gain exemption if the quota is owned personally. By selling to your children’s farming corporation, you could end up paying 40 percent on that income if the Canada Revenue Agenc y decides one of your purposes was to avoid taxes. Like other tax planners, I’m worried for farmers. The legislation related to income sprinkling is unnecessarily complex, adding significant stress to farmers and extra compliance costs in an attempt to determine what each person’s contribution is worth and whether they are subject to the new rules.

For 33 years, PowerRich has proven that a starter granular fertilizer, fortified with a full spectrum of micronutrients in a form useable by the plant will consistently outperform regualr PKS fertilizer programs.

There is also a major concern with farmland, partnership interests and production quota transactions when determining whether the purpose test in section 246.1 is met, which is a highly subjective provision. With a capital-intensive farming industry based on continually escalating values of farmland and production quota, you could be hit with a major unexpected tax bill if the CRA has interpreted the legislation differently than you did. As well, the rulings and court precedents relied on for the last 40 years since the last major tax reform will have to be rebuilt under the new legislation, a process that takes multiple years. The government consultation period deadline is Oct. 2, and MNP will be submitting its concerns. I encourage farmers to talk to their MP before the deadline to try to get this proposed legislation changed. Otherwise, we’ll face years of uncertainty, and farmers risk losing a significant portion of the net worth they’ve worked so hard to build.
