HARVEST

Late-seeded crop dodges harvest bullet BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers have made tremendous harvest progress in the northern Prairies and it now appears the vast majority of the crop will make it to the bin, say crop watchers. The market was particularly concerned about the late-seeded crop in Alberta’s Peace region, but farmers made great strides last week. “My agronomist contacts and the farmers I’m most closely associated with have been really enthused about the pace of harvest and the yields they’re getting,” said Greg Sekulic, agronomy specialist for the Peace region with the Canola Council of Canada. The northern Peace region is essentially finished with harvest after experiencing the best growing conditions Sekulic has seen since 2011. “There’s a lot more happy faces up there than in years past,” he said. Harvest is progressing nicely in the central and south regions.

A unilateral withdrawal by the U.S. president wouldn’t be easy, but concerns are rising BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Journalists, lobbyists and anyone in Washington, D.C., with an interest in trade likely has an opinion about the following question: if negotiations stall, will U.S. President Donald Trump walk away from the North American Free Trade Agreement? Some trade analysts have said

Trump’s threats are a strategic bluff to get a better deal for the United States or political rhetoric to appease his anti-trade base of voters. Others in Washington think Trump could pull the plug on NAFTA. “A lot of people are just as nervous as hell. There is the constant threat … that the Trump administration could just say, ‘forget this, we’re walking out,’ ” said Bill Tomson, senior trade editor with Agri-Pulse,

FARM SHOWS

Farmfair, rodeo face uncertain future Exhibitors say the bread-and-butter events in Edmonton shouldn’t separate when the Coliseum closes at the end of 2017 BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

After running in conjunction with one another for decades, Edmonton’s two staple agriculture events, Farmfair International and the Canadian Finals Rodeo, may soon no longer be joined at the hip. Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR) organizers can’t guarantee the event will be held in Edmonton next year, and Northlands is unable to say definitively where Farmfair will be held after its five-year time limit is up at the Expo Centre. “Edmonton is one of the possibilities, but the CFR could go to a different city or somewhere else,” said Jeff Robson, an adviser with the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association, which works with

organizations to determine where rodeos are held. “We have to look at the reality here, and we need to keep our options open. This is a tough situation to be in.” This uncertainty over the future of both events, which are held in November, is partly the result of a deal recently struck by Edmonton city council and Northlands. The deal sees Edmonton take over the Northlands site and permanently close the Coliseum, which is home to the rodeo, at the end of December. As well, the Edmonton Economic Development Corp. will now manage the Expo Centre, which is where Farmfair is held. Northlands is still allowed to host Farmfair there for at least five years, but after

that, it’s anyone’s guess if the event will move or stay in Edmonton. “We’re still working out the transition with the city,” said Northlands spokesperson Caiti Farquharson. “For now, we will continue to grow Farmfair, and it will continue to be a part of Northlands.” In exchange for Northlands’ assets, the city took on the organization’s $48.7 million debt. Prior to

that, Northlands had struggled for months to make payments on it. The city has said it will have a clearer picture of what the Northlands site could look like once it releases draft redevelopment plans for the area in early 2018. However, even if the CFR returns to Edmonton in 2018 and sets up new digs at the city’s downtown arena, which is known as Rogers Place, some exhibitors and attendees may be less inclined to go, said Terry Adams, who shows at Farmfair every year. “It’s very important that they are together,” said Adams, who runs a grain and cattle operation in Forestburg, Alta. “People don’t want to be chasing around the city, going from one end to the other. I just can’t see that working out too well.”

Exhibitor Stacy Young agreed that having both events side-by-side is important, but she said she thinks Northlands has done a good job revitalizing Farmfair. “There’s no reason it couldn’t stay at the Expo Centre,” said Young, who runs Double R Farms located in Breton, Alta. “But if it was moved to a more rural setting, that would be fine, too, as it’s more of a rural thing anyway.” Robson hopes to have a clearer idea on where the CFR will be hosted once this year’s event wraps up. “We’re hoping we will have a longer-term plan in place,” he said. “This is 44 years of the CFR, and we will do the very best to give the Coliseum the send off it deserves.” jeremy.simes@produer.com

PROPOSED TAX CHANGES

Expert offers fixes for ‘disappointing’ tax reform proposals BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

A leading national expert on tax laws has some advice for the federal government as it wraps up the consultation period on its proposed tax reform: • Fix the transition impacts of the broad changes it is proposing. • Fix the family succession problem it will create if it makes the changes it is proposing. • Prove that passive income held within small corporations is actually a problem.

• Treat fairly the spouses of people operating family businesses. “The communications around this and the evidence provided was very weak,” said Jack Mintz, director of the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. “No wonder the government got in trouble over all this. They didn’t help their case very well.” The consultation period ended Oct. 2, and by Oct. 3 the government seemed to be in the early stages of trying to “fix” some of the highlighted problems. Finance Minister Bill Morneau

and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered pacifying statements about ensuring that small businesspeople will not be unjustly treated and that family handovers to the next generation would be looked after. However, a senior finance department official told the Senate finance committee Oct. 3 that the department has no existing plan to deal with succession issues and is looking for “inspiration.” Mintz said the government’s proposals are both too much and too little. The proposed changes could

have many unintended consequences, such as discriminating against family transfers versus selling to non-family members and creating a less fair system than the one now in place. “If I was going to do something on small business, I find this package very disappointing,” said Mintz. He would prefer to see Canada simplify the overall tax system with one corporate tax rate applied to both big and small businesses and then incentives provided to small businesses to help them grow. He said small businesses are now

taxed at a lower rate but also given an unintentional incentive to stay small rather than grow, which doesn’t make sense. He’d also like to see spouses of small businesspeople allowed to split income in some way with their partners because that’s how family, law, estate and pension laws are already applied. As well, the government might just want to drop the “passive income” proposal unless it can demonstrate that it’s actually a problem. ed.white@producer.com

NAFTA FEARS RISING » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “They’re not going to let this drag out.” Representatives of Canada, Mexico and the U.S. are holding the fourth round of negotiations in Washington this week to update the 24-year-old trade deal. The three countries formally began talking about NAFTA in August because Trump promised to rip up or renegotiate the deal during his 2016 campaign, calling it the worst trade agreement in U.S. history. So far negotiators have avoided the difficult topics, such as America’s frustration with Canada’s supply managed dairy sector. Patrick Leblond, senior fellow with the Centre for International Governance Innovation’s Global Economy Program and an associate professor of public and international affairs at the University of Ottawa, said negotiators will get to the controversial issues, but Canada should be patient. “My view is that, certainly, the negotiations are going to go on into 2018,” said Leblond. He said Canada shouldn’t agree to a deal in haste because Trump is unpredictable. Instead, Canadians should understand that walking away from NAFTA is trickier than Trump assumes. Pro-trade groups and politicians in the U.S. would push back hard against a withdrawal. “Probably Congress would challenge the president’s unilateral ability to walk out of international agreements,” Leblond said. “(And) I wouldn’t be surprised if some business association or an agricultural association actually challenged the executive order in the courts…. Given the political reality that Trump would face, we can afford to … basically call the bluff.” If recent history is any indicator, the U.S. agricultural sector would definitely respond to a NAFTA withdrawal. When Trump threatened to rip up the U.S.-South Korea free trade deal in September, groups that represent pork, soybeans and other export commodities made their voices heard. “You saw just a massive uprising,” Tomson said. “Every single farm group that has an office in anywhere near Washington reacted.” Trump’s threat against South Korea did have an effect because the two countries agreed in early October to begin talks to amend the deal. U.S. farm groups mostly support the existing NAFTA deal, with the exception of the dairy sector. Tomson said U.S. negotiators will likely push hard for more access to Canada’s dairy market because they need to back up the president’s words. “I would think that this would have to be addressed, or will be addressed, is because President Trump called out Canada on this issue,” he said. “It’s kind of hard to back down on that.”

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION

Grain movement good, but behind last year’s pace Deliveries through elevator system in early fall are largely dependent on weather BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian farmers have been delivering grain at a brisk pace over the past few weeks. And so far, grain companies and railway operators have been handling those deliveries without any hiccups, according to the company that monitors the performance of the grain handling system. “What we’re seeing are some really good volumes going through the system,” said Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp. “There’s been lots of grain moving through the country elevator s y s t e m, s o m e g o o d u n l o a d counts (at port) … and they’re turning vessels around in Vancouver in around 12 days, which — all things considered — is really good. “We just hope that the other shoe doesn’t drop any time soon.” Despite what some observers considered a slow start to the 201718 delivery season, grain volumes and velocities through the country elevator system have picked up over the past month or so. Deliveries through the prairie elevator system exceeded a million tonnes a week for most of September. Average weekly deliveries were in the neighbourhood of 1.2 million tonnes.

YEAR-TO-DATE EXPORTS ARE DOWN IN THUNDER BAY BY

20.2% Through the first eight weeks of the 2017-18 crop year, total shipments of western Canadian grain from export terminals in Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Thunder Bay were listed at 4.6 million tonnes, down five percent from 2016-17 and nine percent off the five-year average. Relative to last year’s pace, yearto-date exports through Week 8 were down 20 percent at Thunder Bay and down five percent at

Prince Rupert. Vancouver’s exports were one percent ahead of last year’s pace and two percent ahead of the fiveyear average. Deliveries through the country elevator system during September and October are largely dependent on the weather. Grain movements often slow down during periods of favourable harvest weather, Hemmes said. With harvest nearing completion in many parts of Western Canada, growers will have more time to turn their attention to marketing and hauling grain, he added. Hemmes said hopper car supplies at elevator locations on Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway networks have been reasonably good.

So far in the 2017-18 crop year, CP has been supplying on time roughly 91 percent of the hopper cars ordered for bulk grain shipments to Vancouver, according to data from the Ag Transport Coalition. CN’s on-time car order fulfillment for bulk Vancouver grain was listed at 83 percent. Stocks of grain in the country elevator system and at port terminals have been relatively high during the past few weeks, and unused capacity is limited. Stocks in store at country elevators were in the range of 3.8 to four million tonnes during the latter half of September, occupying 81 to 83 percent of available working capacity. T h o s e n u m b e r s a re h i g h , Hemmes said, but they don’t necessarily point to supply chain problems. “What we look at more than available working capacity is the gap between volumes in the country elevator system and at port,” Hemmes said. If stocks at both ends of the system are moving predictably and following a similar pattern, that suggests the system is working well. Hemmes said vessel lineups at Vancouver are in a normal range. “So far, everything looks good, knock on wood.” brian.cross@producer.com

Opposition disappointed with transport bill changes

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Amendments to the Canada Transportation Act tabled in the House of Commons last week include few of the changes requested by shippers. The Commons transport committee, after a week of hearings and clause-by-clause examination of Bill C-49, passed just a couple of amendments dealing with railway accountability and reported to Parliament Oct. 5. The bill still requires third reading and Senate scrutiny before any changes take effect. Committee vice-chair and Saskatchewan Conservative MP Kelly Block said western Canadian farmers and shippers who appeared before the committee had asked for reasonable, technical amendments. The Crop Logistics Working Group had asked for nine changes dealing with railway transparency and accountability. The opposition members on the committee later put forward dozens of amendments on behalf of witnesses, but the Liberal majority passed only a few of them. “I would just have to say that I was very disappointed that they rejected so many of what witnesses would have called techni-

cal amendments on this bill that would have made it more workable for them,” Block said in an interview. “I think (witnesses) were very reasonable in their approach to the bill and really put forward the really important amendments that would make it workable.” Two changes that the Crop Logistics Working Group asked for were passed at committee. The Canadian Transportation Agency, upon receipt of performance information from the Class 1 railways, would have to make that information public within two days, rather than seven as the bill proposed at first reading. Carriers would also be required to report within five days of a s e v e n - d ay re p o r t i n g w e e k instead of the proposed 14. Grain shippers wanted these provisions to come into effect 60 days after the bill receives royal assent; the bill initially said one year and the amendment states 180 days. “The timeliness was addressed. However, I think the information remains too highly aggregated for our shippers and producers,” Block said, referring to other requests for more data from the railways. The committee passed a Liberal amendment to remove the

Montreal and Kamloops interchanges from exclusion zones for long-haul interswitching. Some witnesses had asked for the exclusion zones to be completely removed from the bill. T h e ra i l w ay s w i l l a l s o b e required to give 120 days notice that they will remove an interchange from their list. Block said she wants to know from shippers and producers whether that will work for them. “I know that we were pretty clear on wanting to see the exclusion zones removed from this bill,” she said. “Many of our captive shippers said with all of the exclusions that were put into this bill, longhaul interswitching was not going to accomplish the purpose for which it was created and therefore we recommended that whole section be removed.” The Conservatives had also suggested that the bill contain a requirement that it be reviewed every three years to make sure long-haul interswitching was actually working, but it didn’t pass. Transport Minister Marc Garneau told reporters that he hoped the bill would pass quickly because that’s what shippers, farmers and air passengers want. karen.briere@producer.com

He estimated that 20 percent of the canola crop remained to be combined as of Oct. 6, which differs from the most recent Alberta crop report, which said 56 percent was still standing as of Oct. 3. Sekulic said he had “no small amount of trepidation” about the crop early in the year when farmers were still seeding into June. The usual rule of thumb is the later the crop the worse it performs. “The way conditions played out this year, it’s kind of one of those one-in-10 years where the later seeded stuff seems to be yielding better,” he said. Farmers are getting average to above-average yields after a summer with decent moisture and plenty of late summer heat followed by yet another gift from Mother Nature. “This open fall is probably the most tremendous thing that could have happened,” said Sekulic. He feels it is “quite likely” the entire crop will come off before the snow flies. Alberta Agriculture estimates 53 percent of all crops had been harvested in the northeast and 26 percent in the northwest as of Oct. 3, both well below the five-year averages of 76 and 70 percent. Shannon Friesen, cropping management specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, estimates 75 percent of the crop in the northwest and up to 85 percent in the northeast had been combined as of Oct. 6. That is up from 57 and 59 percent a week earlier. “Many producers were able to put

in very long hours to try and get much more of the crop off, and the n o r t h d i d ma k e t re m e n d o u s strides (last) week,” she said. Yields are average to well-above average, making up for disappointing crops in the south. Many in the trade are now estimating a Canadian canola crop of more than 20 million tonnes, which is much higher than Agriculture Canada’s Aug. 31 surveybased estimate of 18.2 million tonnes. Most of the crops remaining in the field are ready to go, but there are some problems getting out on wet fields in places such as Hudson Bay and Tisdale. She is pretty confident the remainder of the crop will be harvested, although some may have to come off tough. “We all kind of have last year in the back of our minds and no one really wants to see that again,” said Friesen. “This time last year we had stalled completely. We had heavy snow pretty much in all corners of the province.” An estimated two to 2.5 million acres of crops were left unharvested last year. Anne Kirk, cereals specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said things are progressing nicely in the northwest. “The cereal crops and canola have been harvested for the most part,” she said. There is still some soybeans, silage corn, sunflowers and flax in the fields. sean.pratt@producer.com

CANOLA PROCESSING

Crushers crush despite poor margins Analysts expect full year crush to be similar to last year BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canola crush margins are half what they were a year ago, but crushers are still making money and buying canola, says an analyst. The ICE Futures canola board crush margin for the nearby futures contract on Oct. 6 was about $62 per tonne, down from $111 per tonne a year ago. Ken Ball, senior commodity futures adviser with PI Financial Corp., said margins are down significantly from sky-high levels late last year and the beginning of this year when crushers were “grinning from ear-to-ear.” However, today’s margins are not necessarily what crushers are experiencing. Actual operating margins are likely much higher because crushers used hedging to lock in values during the good times. “They obviously recognized that they had extraordinary margins and would have booked their margins quite heavily forward in the futures market, I would think,” said Ball. “I’m sure if they didn’t they might be out of a job.” Even at the lower on-paper margins, crushers would still be making a “moderate” profit, although it would be borderline if they fell another $10 to $15 per tonne.

Demand remains strong for oil and meal so canola crushers are continuing production despite a squeeze on profits. | FILE PHOTO Members of the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association crushed 1.28 million tonnes of canola through the end of September compared to 1.35 million tonnes for the same period in 2016-17. COPA executive director Chris Vervaet expects total Canadian crush for 2017-18 to be similar to last year’s total of 9.2 million tonnes. “It’s shaping up that way right now,” he said. None of his members have talked about curtailing production despite declining margins because

demand is still strong for oil and meal and they want to keep their plants running. Vervaet said rising costs are the main reason for falling margins. “Seed prices continue to be quite robust, certainly if you compare it to the prices of the products we sell, which is the oil and the meal,” he said. A strengthening Canadian dollar hasn’t helped matters. Canola oil and meal are priced relative to the Chicago Board of Trade soy oil and meal contracts priced in U.S. currency, so as the loonie rises Canadian crushers get less for their fin-

ished products. “ That cer tainly has worked against us,” said Vervaet. Ball said another factor is that crushers are buying more aggressively than usual because they are nervous about tight supplies as well as the couple million tonnes of production remaining unharvested, primarily in northern Alberta. “When projections are tight like that, commercials want to get the bulk of that buying done in that first 30 percent of the season so they don’t have to chase after each other for the production later on,” he said.

The canola supply and demand picture is indeed tight and likely getting tighter, despite expanding production estimates. Statistics Canada released a canola production estimate of a record 19.7 million tonnes Sept. 19 based on models that use satellite images of crop vegetation. That is up substantially from the agency’s survey-based estimate of 18.2 million tonnes released Aug. 31. Ball said the trade believes the model-based estimate would result in 21.1 million tonnes of supply when combined with carryout from the 2016-17 crop. That is similar to last year’s total supply of 21.8 million tonnes, which means crush and exports would have to be about the same as well to keep ending stocks from rising. He believes crush will remain strong despite falling margins, and exports should be good because of solid demand and reduced competition from Australia. The Australian Oilseeds Federation is forecasting a crop of 2.9 million tonnes, down from 4.2 million tonnes last year. Ball expects 500,000 to 600,000 tonnes of Canadian canola carryout in 2017-18, down from 1.35 million tonnes last year. “That is intolerably tight,” he said. “Of course, we never would actually get stocks to be that low, but just the projection that they’re getting in that range would certainly keep the market well underpinned.” sean.pratt@producer.com

ONE OR TWO WORDS

New export markets needed to accommodate rising pork production MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

ork exports to China boomed in 2016 but slowed this year, although they remain on a long term rising trajectory. Future demand from China and other export markets will continue to be a key market factor as North American hog herds grow and slaughter expands.

Forecasts indicate that while U.S. pork production should remain manageable in 2018, it could become burdensome in 2019, depressing prices. Canada’s hog herd is the biggest since 2007 and the U.S. herd is at a record high. To accommodate the additional

pigs, two new U.S. plants opened Sept. 5 with a combined single shift capacity of about 22,000 head per day. However, the pork they produce will have to be sold somewhere. A report by Steiner Consulting for the CME Group says U.S. pork production should be manageable

through 2018, but it flags a worry for 2019. The amount of pork that every American would have to consume to use up all the pork produced in 2019 would rise to about 51 pounds, the most since 2007. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

BIOSCIENCE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

Canola sector must find new markets for protein New high protein, low fibre varieties could be suitable for hog and chicken feed BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

If all goes according to plan, prairie farmers will be producing 26 million tonnes of canola by 2025. If that does happen, as the Canola Council of Canada hopes, production will be 7.4 million tonnes more than 2016. Most people in the canola trade are on board with the expansion plan, but the industry will need to find new buyers for the additional canola meal. “ Today, all the canola meal we’re producing in Western Canada is finding a home, (but) the primary concern is that the dairy markets in the U.S. are becoming saturated, quickly… so there’s not a lot of room for growth,” said Chris Nowlan, canola products market manager with Dow AgroSciences. “If you overlay that with the (production) growth … we’re going to be in a spot where there is more supply than there is foreseeable demand, given the quality parameters that we have today.” Nowlan, who participated in a discussion on protein at the Agricultural Bioscience International Conference, held late September in Winnipeg, said canola meal production will increase. The canola council has a target of 3.3 million tonnes by 2025. Eighty-five percent of Canada’s canola meal is now used to feed dairy cows, he said. If that market is saturated, the canola trade will need to find alternate buyers, per-

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The report suggests retail pork prices would have to fall to stimulate that much demand unless the U.S. can export a greater percentage of its production. One export opportunity is China. In 2015 it began a major threeyear reform of its hog production sector, the largest in the world, to address pollution problems. It started eliminating small farm production, particularly in the south, and promoted new large opera-

haps fish farms. Another option is changing the protein content of canola so it’s better suited for hogs and poultry. Canola meal currently has limited use for pigs and chickens because it’s too low in protein and too high in fibre. Dow AgroSciences is already moving the industry in that direction by developing a canola variety with higher protein and less fibre. ProPound, the brand name of the canola variety, is now being grown

in Western Canada. It’s part of Dow’s line of Nexera canola. Meal from ProPound has around 44 percent protein, compared to 37 percent in traditional canola and 47 percent in soybean meal. The variety represented 15 to 20 percent of Dow’s Nexera acres in Canada this year, Nowlan said. “Our plan, over time, would be to convert that entire crop over to ProPound material,” he added. Prairie hog producers are the most obvious market for higher protein canola. Nowlan said Western Canada

imports 1.5 million tonnes of soybean meal from the United States. Replacing that with canola meal would save on trucking and cut costs for hog producers. The higher protein canola might save hog farmers $20 per tonne for baby pig rations, Florian Possberg, chair of the Saskatchewan Pork Development Board, said in a Western Producer story in March last year. “That would be a real advantage. Unless this new canola meal is priced way up there, it would really work for us.” ProPound canola meal could also replace soybean meal in turkey production, based on University of Minnesota research. H o w e v e r, o t h e r f e e d t r i a l s showed that chickens are more sensitive to canola meal. ProPound could be used up to a 24 percent inclusion rate without negative effects on chicken performance. In the short term, the higher protein canola meal could supplant soybeans in Canadian hog rations, but there is a larger opportunity to compete with soybean meal in the U.S. hog and poultry sectors, Nowlan said. “Our aspirations would be that we’d also be converting some major markets in the U.S. … those (areas) that are logistically disadvantaged for soybeans,” he said. “Think about California, Minnesota, even to the east coast.” Bigger picture, Canada’s canola trade needs to focus on the opportunities in the expanding protein market, Nowlan said.

If a larger percentage of canola has improved protein content and better meal, it’s a win for growers and a win for buyers who have an insatiable appetite for protein. “How do we do more? How do we meet the growing need?” he said. “We can extend this technology

into all the regions where canola seed, or rapeseed, is produced today.” The Canola Council of Canada was contacted for comment on this story, but there was no response by press time. robert.arnason@producer.com

tions, mostly in the north where much of the grain is produced. During the transition, domestic hog production suffered. To fill the gap, pork imports doubled in 2016 to about 2.2 million tonnes. Canada, with its ractomine-free status, did very well, seeing its exports of fresh and frozen pork rise 185 percent to $443.4 million year over year. U.S. and European exporters also saw big shipments. However, Chinese production is recovering and Canadian pork

exports to the country are down 14 percent to the end of August. It is a similar story with American exports. Still, China’s imports in coming years are expected to continue well above the normal levels of the early 2010s, according to a Rabobank forecast. Chinese per capita pork consumption is already the biggest in the world. But like North Americans, members of the health conscious Chinese urban middle class think they need to eat more vegetables.

Rabobank forecasts that the annual compound growth in pork demand will slow to one percent from two. However, one percent growth is still a lot when you consider China’s 1.3 billion consumers. Although it will grow less rapidly, import demand should remain large. The major pork exporters — the United States, Canada and Denmark — will compete strongly for it and Russia is gearing up to start supplying as well.

However, China is not the only gem in the pork export market. Canada’s pork export value is up seven percent, even with reduced sales to China in 2017, thanks to increased sales to Japan, Mexico, South Korea, the Philippines and Taiwan. Let’s hope further inroads can be made in those markets before the wave of U.S. pork hits in 2019.

FEED BARLEY

Tight supply has growers sitting on barley Prices are rising and growers are in no panic to sell, especially if they have grain that could be malting quality BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Feed barley markets in Western Canada continued to show strength last week with spot bids in some southern Alberta locations edging higher than $205 per tonne. Allen Pirness, a feed grain trader with Market Place Commodities in Lethbridge, said barley markets have been tight in recent weeks with reduced acreage, lower-thanexpected yields and limited producer sales supporting prices. In mid-September, spot barley bids in Lethbridge were around $195 per tonne. However, values have risen steadily over the past three weeks. Some southern Alberta feedlots are now beginning to import U.S. corn at around $212 a tonne. “Barley markets are fairly snug,” Pirness said Oct. 5. “We’re in a market right now that’s around $205 in Lethbridge. You might even argue it’s $208 … so we’re kind of bumping right up against corn. “There doesn’t seem to be any excess of barley this year with lower acreage and lower yields … so we’re starting to see the effects of a smaller barley crop already with the price staying fairly firm.” In addition, wet and snowy weather in late September and early October in Alberta may have discouraged some barley deliveries, adding further support to already firm prices. “The weather this week hasn’t helped anything to open up,” Pirness said Oct. 5. “I’m sure there is some barley that hasn’t delivered this week due to the weather.” It remains to be seen how increased U.S. corn use will affect

Growers with quality barley may delay delivery, hoping their crop will be selected as malting grade. | barley values in southern Alberta. A few unit trains of U.S. corn originating from North Dakota have already been shipped into the Lethbridge area. Adding corn to rations will likely affect barley demand, but it won’t necessarily put a cap on barley prices, Pirness said. To some degree, barley markets can move independently of corn, primarily because some feedlot operators are unwilling or unable to convert to corn for a short period of time. Feed barley prices typically strengthen in late September and early October, when many growers are still occupied with harvest operations and are not yet fully

engaged in selling feed crops. Deliveries of feedgrains usually pick up two to three weeks after harvest has concluded. Brandon Motz, market manager with Cornine Commodities in Lacombe, Alta., agreed that barley producers are not selling aggressively. “We’ve taken the (feed barley) market from let’s say a $195 delivered Picture Butte a month ago to a $210 or so,” Motz said. “So we’ve rallied $15 in the last month … but still there’s no real panic to sell.” Motz said weather-related harvest delays may be prompting producers to hold off on delivering barley, despite relatively strong prices.

Quality could also be influencing their selling decisions, he said. Alberta producers in central and southern growing regions have most of their barley in the bin, and Motz said quality is outstanding. Some growers hoping to cash in on malting barley premiums may

be less inclined to sell into feed markets, even though the spread is smaller than normal. “There’s outstanding quality so far, based on the samples we’ve received,” he said. “We haven’t had many years like this where the quality is so consistent, from north to south…. This year’s quality has everyone searching for the highest prices.” Motz said canola is moving off farms at a fairly good pace so growers may be less inclined to sell barley for cash flow. “Barley isn’t necessarily the crop that they’re trying to move at the moment,” he said. brian.cross@producer.com

PULSE TRADE

India’s bumper summer crop adds to ample pulse supply BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

India is forecasting the second biggest kharif (summer) pulse harvest on record, but a Canadian analyst believes it will be smaller than the government thinks. In its first advance estimate for the 2017-18 kharif crop, the Indian government predicted 8.71 million tonnes of pulse production. That would be down from last year’s record 9.42 million tonne harvest, but 49 percent higher than the average output for the five years before last year. The news is troublesome, considering India is already sitting on a stockpile of pulses that has reduced early post-harvest exports from Canada. The summer pigeon pea crop is expected to be 3.99 million tonnes, again down from last year but 40 percent higher than the previous five-year average. Canadian green lentils are used as a substitute for pigeon peas in years when India’s

crop is inadequate. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said India’s first crack at estimating production should be taken with a grain of salt. “They don’t make any attempt to establish yields,” he said.

CHUCK PENNER LEFTFIELD COMMODITY RESEARCH

The government multiplies its pulse acreage estimate by longerterm average yields to come up with the production estimate. On the surface that would appear to be a reasonable approach given that this year’s monsoon rains were

just five percent below normal for the country as a whole. However, about one-quarter of kharif pulses are grown in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, two states where rainfall has been 15 to 30 percent below normal. “That’s why I’m kind of thinking we’ll see below average yields,” said Penner. However, it would still be an above-average crop because of the acreage increase. Indian farmers planted more pigeon peas than normal despite lacklustre prices because they have limited options and the market price was above the minimum support price, he said. As a result, the incremental demand for Canadian green lentils that sometimes occurs in India likely won’t be there this year. Green lentil exporters have a solid base of demand in many other markets such as Western Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East, said Penner. It’s not like red lentils, where India and

Turkey account for a huge portion of annual demand. Canadian green lentil prices saw a bump at harvest as customers refilled their supplies, but they have fallen since then and there could be further downward pressure if farmers decide to push sales, said Penner. Stat Publishing reports that the Indian government is starting to sell off its 1.8 million tonne stockpile of pulses. It will begin by selling 550,000 tonnes to state governments and the private sector. “Their release effectively increases the domestic supply, and the prospect the balance will be sold could make some buyers more patient, especially with respect to importing pulses,” Stat publisher Brian Clancey said in a recent article. The government stocks are adding to an already over-supplied market. “With opening season export movement from growers starting to slow, the impact of slack demand from India is starting to be felt in

origin markets,” said Clancey. India’s big kharif crop is not going to help matters. However, the real market mover will be India’s rabi (winter) crop, which is just starting to be planted. That is when India grows its chickpeas and lentils, which can affect Canadian yellow pea and red lentil exports. Red lentil prices have been softening in India, just like they have in Canada. “It’s not going to encourage a whole lot of acres,” said Penner. He expects a reduction in acres from last year to around average levels, just like he does with desi chickpeas. Kabuli chickpea plantings should rise, which could put downward pressure on prices. However, there are still decent new crop bids in Canada and the United States for the 2018 crop. “So there are still people out there who aren’t worried about India over-producing,” said Penner. sean.pratt@producer.com

PEA PROCESSING

Pea plant construction talks continue in Moose Jaw Canadian Protein Innovation plans to process yellow peas into starch and protein for animal protein replacements and for industrial uses BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Negotiations continue between the City of Moose Jaw and Canadian Protein Innovation on possible construction of a $100 million pea processing facility. The city says it had extended the deadline to reach an agreement on the land purchase and servicing agreement until Nov. 30.

A previous extension from Aug. 31 to Oct. 3 had also been granted. “It’s a big project,” said the city’s economic development officer Jim Dixon. “Each party is doing its due diligence and we’re really trying to work through the servicing agreement and to make the transactional land purchase happen and we’re very confident it will happen.” Proponents outlined the project at an open house about a year ago.

CPI intends to process yellow peas into fractions of starch, protein and fibre for use in products such as noodles, candy, pasta, animal protein replacements and industrial uses. The plant requires a potable water source, Dixon said, and waste water will be pumped to lagoons and used in irrigation pivots. Dixon said it isn’t unusual to have extensions on a project of this mag-

nitude and he expects construction during 2018. A statement issued by CPI through the city indicated the project is still a go. “The contract details between CPI and (the city of) Moose Jaw are being discussed to ensure that both parties are well prepared for the construction and operation of the facility,” it said. “CPI appreciates the support of

the Moose Jaw community and look forward to being part of it as we construct and operate the facility.” The site is located in an industrial park in the city’s southeast. Dixon added the recent announcement of a pea plant in Vanscoy isn’t a factor in the delay. “There’s a huge market. There’s lots of demand,” he said. “We have lots of the crop available.” karen.briere@producer.com

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

CROPS AND HUNGER

Food production doesn’t jibe with food security

e have just celebrated Thanksgiving, a time to recognize and appreciate the bounty that nature and human effort have provided to feed our bodies and spirits. In Canada, there is an abundance of food. Indeed, worldwide there is a surplus of the major crops — wheat, corn and soybeans — that depresses crop prices, limits farm incomes and stresses the agricultural economy. This week we have a special report on pages 56-58 produced by the Reuters News Agency that examines factors that led to the grain glut. However, last month the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization published its annual report on the state of global food security, noting that after a decade of declines, the number of chronically undernourished people increased in 2016 to 815 million from 777 million in 2015. Some might wonder how these two situations can co-exist, but for a long time it has been clear that hunger is mostly caused by poverty, corruption, political chaos and war rather than by a lack of food. The Reuters story notes how improving crop production technology is raising yields, shortening the days to maturity, producing more hardy crops and helping to expand the regions where high yield corn and soybeans can be grown. With these improvements there is less danger that drought or flood in a particular region will significantly reduce world crop production. Will ample grain supply become the norm? It is not a stretch. Except for a few years in the late 2000s, global grain supply has been ample since the early 1990s. The large supply of inexpensive grain and improving political stability around the world helped to reduce levels of chronic undernourishment but also contribut-

ed to an alarming rise in obesity rates. The FAO notes that there is a 25-year history of reduced hunger in countries that enjoy peace and stability. A recent increase in conflict, violence and fragility in government, notably in sub-Saharan Africa and Syria, are key to the recent expansion of hunger. People, many of them farmers, get displaced in conflict zones. Crops aren’t harvested and weak governments can’t deliver aid, protect humanitarian efforts or react to natural disasters. So international efforts to build peace and prevent conflict will likely have a greater impact in reducing hunger than any focus on increasing food production. Too often companies or politicians point to some agricultural product or policy and argue it is necessary to “feed a hungry world.” False perceptions are raised that we are on an edge, staring down at the prospect of global hunger arising from population and income growth. The reality is we mostly know how to produce enough food for today and for tomorrow. We just need to keep on track and to reduce the environmental footprint of production. We need to recognize that the climate is becoming more volatile, which means more resilience will be needed in seed genetics and cropping and livestock systems. We need to educate the public about genetic modification and its safety in a regulated environment. We need to concentrate production on appropriate land and preserve natural areas. With that, and greater peace, we will all be able to celebrate a happy Thanksgiving.

TRADE NEGOTIATIONS

NAFTA talks may get testy on auto, wine and dairy sectors CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

t looks like the North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations are about to get testy. The United States is expected to table a number of contentious demands during the fourth round of NAFTA talks, scheduled for Oct. 11-15 in Washington, D.C. Apparently, the Americans aren’t happy with the way talks are progressing so far. “Honestly, we’ve been a little disappointed with the first three rounds, but we think this is the way these things get going,” U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said during a recent public forum

put on by the Washington International Trade Association. So far, he said, the talks have been like a boxing match, with each athlete spending a lot of time wandering around the ring, eyeing their opponent. “I think we’re done circling,” Perdue said. “So, we’re going to lay some things on the table in this next round that will be here in D.C. over some serious issues that we hope to get.” Canada should expect a few punches. American trade officials will likely table their demands for more access to Canada’s “unfair” supplymanaged dairy and poultry markets. Perdue did not provide details about what those demands might look like. Perdue’s home state of Georgia is one of the largest poultry producing regions in the U.S. Ottawa has said the Canadian government will defend supply management at the negotiating

The U.S. did not table any dairy or poultry items in the first three rounds of NAFTA talks. As well, U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has formally renewed a World Trade Organization challenge between Canada and the United States over British Columbia wines. The dispute was one of the last actions taken by the previous administra-

tion under Barack Obama. The U.S. argues B.C. regulations amended in April 2015 around the sale of wine in grocery stores violate international trade rules. The U.S. insists the rules prevent American wine sales and favour domestic wines. Canada disputes those arguments. In the House of Commons Oct. 5, Freeland called the dispute “unnecessary” and said “the United States also has measures in place to promote and protect its own wine industry, and American wine already does very well in Canada.” She vowed to defend the industry at the WTO, a dispute that comes at the same time as the U.S. has said it also wants better wine market access addressed during the NAFTA talks. Outside of agriculture, Inside Trade reported Oct. 5 that the U.S. wants the rules-of-origin limits for the auto sector amended to raise the North American threshold to 85 percent from 62.5 percent.

The Amer icans also want a domestic threshold that would mandate a 50 percent domestic content threshold in order to qualify for tariff breaks. The move is designed to try to lure car manufacturers back to the U.S., at the expense of Canada and Mexico’s auto manufacturing sectors. The U.S. is bringing forward a protectionist position, one that differs greatly from Canada’s continued global approach to trade. Freeland acknowledged recently that the American government’s protectionist mentality is a challenge. “It’s an administration that speaks quite openly of the ‘America first’ policy. That’s the reality. That’s the reality that Canada has to deal with and that’s what we’re doing. “We will continue to work directly on each separate issue and that’s what we have to do. It’s the only option.” Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

& OPEN FORUM TAX CHANGE IMPLICATIONS

DATA COLLECTION

Tax reforms fail to understand ag sector BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS

ntil recently, two things were certain in life: death and taxes. We can now add a third one: botching the promotion of a tax reform for political gains. Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s tax reform has been a communications disaster. Claims about Ottawa’s intentions to revamp our tax system for small corporations have been ridiculous. Some predict a recession due to the changes proposed, while others declare the end of entrepreneurship as we know it. We should all take a collective deep breath and figure out how changes will affect our economy. What needs to be underscored, though, is how Morneau’s vision for taxing small corporations will impact our agrifood sector. Generally, the tax system is not really about pensions, legacy and social programs. Yet for a familyowned business, it is and there are thousands of them in agrifood. In farming, Canada now has more than 43,000 incorporated farms, compared to around 23,000 incorporated farms in 2001. Despite the fact that we have fewer farms today than in 2001, more of them have converted their operations into corporations to provide incentives to the next generation to take over the farm. Proposed changes on capital gains would make it more expensive for a family member to acquire the farm than for a third party. Keeping families and jobs in rural Canada is not easy and many farm-

Federal tax proposals may bring in $250 million annually but the implications for the agrifood sector will be costly. | FILE PHOTO ers use the tax system to secure the future of their businesses. Income sprinkling is another issue Morneau is attempting to address. Corporations can now hire family members who work for the enterprise, which reduces the tax rate for everyone. Current rules about who can be compensated and at what level are ambiguous. Morneau wants to change that, and for a good reason. Some small corporations pay family members, who do not necessarily work for the company, to pay less taxes. This practice should stop but family businesses are different.

Defining tasks in a family-owned business can be difficult. Many of the contributions made by family members are ad hoc and not easily categorized. A family business is like, well, a family. The enterprise survives by relying on favours and duties as assigned. On a familyowned farm, a restaurant or in a small food processor, job profiles are vague, at best. The tax reform political nightmare began in July when Ottawa launched a consultative process on how best to address tax planning practices that it believes are used to gain unfair tax advantages. Individuals set up corporations to

pay less in taxes in a variety of ways. Ottawa’s intentions are noble. However, what has caused many of the problems is the condescending rhetoric coming out of Ottawa, labelling small business owners as cheats and greedy tax evaders. That was insulting. The government anticipates that the new regulations will bring in barely $250 million a year. For those thinking that the Liberals are looking for ways to increase revenue to pay for a ballooning deficit, they are wrong. This is really about politics, pure and simple. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s egalitarian agenda to serve the socalled middle class is motivating the government to implement these changes. This is not about being unwilling to pay more taxes, it is about the viability of an entire economic sector. Our tax regime should differentiate and give our rural economy and family corporations some level of immunity. As Ottawa attempts to fix what is largely an urban issue, it shouldn’t penalize farming and agriculturerelated family businesses. The Liberal government will likely get its way in the end, but it should at the very least accommodate the unique intricacies of our agrifood sector.

IGNORING DISEASE RISK

Crop insurance could act on tight canola rotations HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ou can still find canola producers who throw cold water on the assertion that tight rotations are increasing the risk of disease. It’s a little like the tobacco lobby, which for years claimed there was insufficient proof to conclusively show whether cigarettes cause cancer. In the case of cigarettes and cancer, there’s also the issue of second hand smoke. Similarly, with plant disease, tight rotations might mean collateral damage to neighbouring farms and the entire industry. You can find producers who claim that growing canola on

canola on canola is sustainable and doesn’t lead to reduced yields. You can also find people who have smoked their entire life and live to be 90. Biology isn’t always clear cut. Tobacco is highly regulated. Advertising is restricted and the packages are emblazoned with health warnings. With canola, in an attempt to stop the spread of clubroot in regions where it has been detected, government agrologists recommend proactive management strategies. This means that susceptible crops, including clubroot resistant varieties, should not be seeded more than once every four years. Yet, the crop insurance programs administered and financially supported by provincial governments provide the same yield coverage and charge the same premiums whether you follow recommended rotations or whether your rotation is canola- snow- canola. Crop insurance could and should be used to discourage seeding the same crop on the same ground in consecutive years. This should

apply to every crop, not just canola, but canola is the most prevalent crop and the one where rotational considerations are most often sacrificed for economic reasons. In the early 2000s, chickpea acreage exploded in parts of southern Saskatchewan. For a year or two, sizable returns were generated at a time when other crops were not profitable. Despite serious problems with ascochyta blight, there was an economic incentive to grow as many acres of chickpeas as possible. Saskatchewan Crop Insurance established coverage for chickpeas in the dry regions of Saskatchewan, but only if rotation s were one in every four years. That rotational restriction still exists, despite new varieties with better ascochyta resistance, many new fungicides to help control the disease and the proliferation of high clearance sprayers to apply fungicides in a timely manner. So crop insurance can be used as a tool to encourage proper rotations; the precedent is established.

Several options exist. In the case of Saskatchewan chickpeas, insurance is denied if you don’t follow a long rotation. With canola, seeding the crop every second year is a common practice on many farms, so it’s perhaps most reasonable to clamp down on producers who may be tempted to seed canola on canola stubble. If crop insurance and its political masters don’t have the courage to deny insurance on those acres, they could at least remove the government support and let the producer pay the full premium. Some producers say crop insurance shouldn’t be used as a policy tool, or they want irrefutable proof of the harm before governments take such a step. You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. Governments shouldn’t be supporting agronomic practices that they advise against. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

Got telematics? EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

’ll bet you hav e telematics that you don’t even know about, or at least you don’t think of them that way. The tools are everywhere, from a lost smartphone that tells you which one of the farm parts stores you left it in to that lo-jack device you hid in the pickup you let your kids drive that shows you where it is at all times. Of course, if you’ve invested in the latest tractors, sprayers and combines or bought a new guidance and controller unit, you also have those tools available to you. The dealer likely set you up with an account and the salesperson gave you a “free” subscription to the machinery company’s system. Whether you are using it every day is a good question. It’s a question some of you might have already answered, considering that we have been doing some polling to find out. Farmer adoption of telematic tools, which feed data to and from the field and machine to the office or someplace else that matters, have been slower than for other forms of precision agriculture, such as corrected guidance and sectional control. Data accumulation is like many other forms of accumulation around the farm: if you have storage for it, you will likely keep it in case you need it someday. However, if you have to keep moving it or mowing around it, you might not keep collecting the stuff as fast, or even get rid of it before the kids have to clean it up for the auction sale. Unless you are using the data to track and manage things on the farm, which I highly recommend because it goes through the washing machine better than my notebooks, keeping all that information can seem like a job in itself. However, like that Morris Multiplex Rod Weeder we have out back, it will be useful someday, or an organic farmer will want to buy it. But it will have value. Accumulated data from each machine and each piece of land isn’t generally of value in the first or second year. It becomes valuable over time. So an investment in hard drives or consulting services might be even more useful than the machinery lot out back. If you start now you might be ready for spring. michael.raine@producer.com

ALBERTA FIRE

Snow snuffs out destructive Kenow fire BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A fire that destroyed several ranches and burned a large portion of Waterton Lakes National Park in southwestern Alberta last month has now been deemed under control and continues to be monitored. More than 20 centimetres of snow fell on the park and other parts of southern Alberta Oct. 2, marking the first time many area residents have welcomed heavy snow so early in the season. Parks Canada said in an Oct. 3 news release that the fire, dubbed the Kenow fire because of its start near British Columbia’s Kenow Mountain, is not expected to spread further. It has been burning in the park and area since Sept. 11 and even now, hot spots continue to smolder. Smoke is likely to be visible for several weeks, Parks Canada said. Though the fire threatened the Waterton townsite, fire protection efforts saved all buildings with the exception of the visitor centre. Outside the town, the Alpine Stables horseback riding business was also destroyed. The town and some parts of the park have re-opened to the public but many trails and popular tourist sites remain closed for safety reasons. “The high intensity of the fire resulted in a large number of danger trees, rock falls, deep and hot ash pits and other hazards that continue to pose a safety risk throughout the park,” the news release said. “At this time, camping is not permitted anywhere in Waterton Lakes National Park and all areas west of Upper Waterton Lake remain closed for the safety of the public.” The fire is estimated to have consumed more than 94,000 acres. Since area residents were allowed to return to the area after a mandatory evacuation last month, volunteers have been helping ranchers rebuild perimeter fence so they can contain their cattle this winter. Donations of fencing supplies, hay and other materials have also been flowing in. Donations to aid those affected are being accepted at Alberta Treasury Branches.

PUBLIC SURVEY

Consumers split on direction of food system: survey BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Is Canada’s food system heading in the right direction? Canadian consumers are apparently split down the middle on that question, with 43 percent responding yes and another 43 percent saying they are unsure. That’s according to the 2017 Public Trust Research survey, an online survey conducted by the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity. CCFI president Crystal Mackay said the survey is part of the centre’s ongoing effort to have an “authentic conversation” with Canadians about their food and how it’s grown. “Canadians are looking for credible information to make informed decisions about their food,” said Mackay. “This research reinforces that everyone in the Canadian food system, from the farm through to grocery stores and restaurants, should engage in conversations about food.”

two … issues for the public, ahead of health care, energy and the economy,” said Mackay. “I think sometimes we get a little … too focused on very narrow issues related to food or on a hot topic and we forget about the fundamental importance of feeding our country and the importance of keeping healthy food affordable.” According to the survey: • Fifty-one percent of respondents said they were personally concerned about the use of hormones in farm animals. • Forty-nine percent said they trusted food produced in Canada more than food produced in another countries. • Forty-eight percent said they were concerned about the use of

pesticides in crop production. • Forty-two percent said they were concerned about eating food that comes from genetically modified crops. • Nineteen percent said Canadian food is among the most affordable in the world today. Mackay said food affordability is an issue that the food supply chain must watch closely. “If I had to pick one message (from the survey) … whether you’re a farmer or you run an agribusiness or if you’re the biggest food company in the world, let’s remind ourselves that we’re in the business of producing healthy affordable food first.” For more information, visit www. foodintegrity.ca. brian.cross@producer.com

CRYSTAL MACKAY CANADIAN CENTRE FOR FOOD INTEGRITY

This is the second year that CCFI has surveyed Canadians on their attitudes toward food. Last year, a similar survey suggested a significant increase in the number of people who are satisfied with the direction of Canada’s food system, she added. When asked the same question in 2016, just 30 percent of respondents answered yes, compared to 50 percent who said they were unsure and 21 percent who said the Canadian food system was “on the wrong track.” Mackay said the survey suggests that Canadian consumers generally trust Canadian food and those who produce it. But there is also much work to be done, she said. Despite widespread consumer approval for Canadian food, public attitudes change quickly when the discussion becomes more focused on specific food safety topics. “I would say the bottom line is good trust in our food, great support for our Canadian food and our farmers and ranchers, but it (the support) is a country wide and a centimetre deep,” said Mackay. “So once we ask a specific question, whether it is around animal welfare, environment, food safety, a specific topic like GMOs, or hormones or antibiotics, it quickly shifts from being quite positive and strong to being unsure.” As they did in 2016, food costs and affordability of healthy foods ranked high on consumers’ radar. The survey asked respondents to rank food concerns in relation to other so-called “life issues” such as health care costs, unemployment and the state of the economy. “The cost of food and keeping healthy food affordable, for the second year in a row were the top

Foodgrains bank growing project makes use of show site Partnership providing growers with information ends with donation BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LANGHAM, Sask. — Soybeans were ceremoniously harvested at the Ag In Motion show site Oct. 3 when the Canadian Foodgrains Bank held a harvest event. “This growing project is unique because it is really a three way project between the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, Crop Production Services and Ag In Motion,” said Rick Block, regional representative for the foodgrains bank in Saskatchewan. AIM provided 90 acres to grow the soybeans, CPS provided the crop inputs and agronomic advice and the foodgrains bank arranged for a farmer to grow the crop. Gaylord Mierau, who farms east of Langham, seeded, sprayed and harrowed the crop. He has also grown 80 acres of crop for the foodgrains bank on his own farm in each of the past seven years. “The work of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and its mission to end hunger is something that I’m passionate about,” Mierau said. The thought of his granddaughter having little or nothing to eat also drives him to support the organization, he added.

AIM also worked with Ag Growth International on this project. “We took that opportunity with

CPS and AGI to demonstrate some of their products,” he said. “So CPS provided the seeds for the soybeans and AGI is providing the storage and handling equipment for the storage of those beans as well.” robin.booker@producer.com

LEGALIZED MARIJUANA

Alberta outlines priorities in marijuana draft plan The government is seeking input on whether cannabis distribution should be through private business or government outlets BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Albertans will be able to grow up to four cannabis plants in their homes but not outside in their gardens, according to the provincial government’s proposed framework for legalized marijuana that was released Oct. 4. As for production on a larger scale for wholesale business, the province now has four federally licensed cannabis facilities that grow for medical purposes. Some of those could expand to service the recreational market once the federal government legalizes marijuana July 1, 2018. The federal government regulates growers, producers and processors. Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley released details of the draft plan and noted a second opportunity for public input is now open and will be available until Oct. 27. The first round of public consultation drew direct input from more than 45,000 Albertans in addition to opinions from nearly 100 organizations.

Ganley said the draft plan has four priorities: • keeping cannabis away from children • protecting public health • promoting safety on roads, in workplaces and public spaces • limiting the illegal market for cannabis A provincial survey indicated 55 percent of Albertans have tried cannabis for recreation and one in five has used it within the past year. Seven percent said they would consider trying cannabis once it is legal. If the draft plan is implemented, Albertans 18 years and older will be allowed to possess up to 30 grams of legally produced cannabis and grow up to four plants per household. As it stands, the draft indicates plants grown in the home cannot exceed one metre in height, which was consistent with federal guidelines. However, the House of Commons health committee recently heard that a height limit is arbitrary, so there is a possibility federal rules may change. In a news conference, Ganley said

marijuana impairment while driving was high on the list of concerns expressed. “Albertans told us they fear an increase in drug impaired driving once cannabis is legal,” she said. The province is working to develop legislation that will coincide with federal changes to the criminal code. As well, it awaits federal action on developing ways to test cannabis impairment.

ment-controlled outlets. Ganley acknowledged that selling through private retailers would be an easier and cheaper way to go. On the other hand, the province could realize revenue from cannabis sales from a public system. She said more input is sought on those options. The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission will have the mandate for oversight, compliance and distribution of non-medical cannabis in the province and will serve as a central wholesaler for product. The government said this would ensure a level playing field for large and small producers of weed and

ensure only legally produced and federally regulated products are sold. Cannabis retail stores will not be in the same location as stores that sell liquor, tobacco or pharmaceuticals. Ganley also said the government would undertake an educational program promoting responsible use by adults and plans to ensure cannabis is not used by or around children or in areas that children frequent. As for price of cannabis, Ganley said that will depend on the level of tax proposed by the federal government. She said the price also has to be competitive with those in the illegal market.

FARM SAFETY

Make a plan, stick to the plan Minimize accidents by creating formal safety protocols and training everyone to use them RUSSEL HURST CROP LIFE CANADA

FARM SAFETY

Safety measures should include mental health BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

EDMONTON — Farm safety discussions should extend beyond safe grain handling and equipment risks to include mental health challenges in agriculture, said Russel Hurst of Crop Life Canada. “We need open, empathetic, respectful conversations,” he said. A featured presenter at the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association annual meeting in Edmonton Oct. 2-5, Hurst said CASA is well positioned to do this as part of its role in fostering safe and healthy farm communities. “We can get fixated on tractor rollovers and grain auger incidents,” he said. “When it comes to farm safety, it isn’t always missing fingers or missing limbs, but it can be mental issues as well.” He said the rigours of farm life in harvest pressures, uncontrollable weather, financial challenges and family dynamics all affect mental health. “They may not have a missing finger that people can see,” said Hurst. CASA chair Wendy Bennett said it’s not an area that the organization has formally addressed but may in the future. “As more and more people get past the stigma, I think it becomes a real necessary topic of conversation,” she said. Bennett suggested not identifying it as mental health issues but as farm stress to allow greater acceptance by older farmers, who are perhaps more reluctant to broach the topic. That might permit an entry point into a gradual conversation, she said. Other starting points could include accessing the appropriate people to facilitate those discussions and providing links to mental health resources that are already in place in communities. “To let farmers know that they’re not alone if they’re dealing with depression or anxiety.” Bennett said that much of it is related to job fatigue. “They get overwhelmed by so much to be done and they have to do it.” karen.morrison@producer.com

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

EDMONTON — Farm safety is a big concern for rancher Trevor Tapp of Fraser Lake, B.C., who lives an hour from the local hospital and hours away from a fire hall. Speaking at the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association’s annual conference in Edmonton Oct. 3, he said he has a written safety plan, emergency numbers and land locations and keeps first aid kits in all vehicles. “We look after ourselves a lot with neighbours because if I need help, that’s where I will get it from and if they need it, we’re where they will get it from,” said Tapp. The former RCMP officer also created livestock handling syst e m s a n d a l l e y w ays f o r t h e orderly movement of animals and buried overhead lines to avoid encounters to provide maximum protection for him and his wife. They have a check-in, checkout system for farm jobs and know how long each should take. “If it’s longer, we will call,” Tapp said. He said agriculture may be the only occupation that doesn’t have formal training. On his ranch, he leads his coworkers by modelling safe behaviours. “Do as I do as opposed to do what I say all the time,” he said. Another motivator is giving them a reason to practise safety. “It’s important to go home to the two-year-old at night.” Russel Hurst of Crop Life Canada grew up on an Ontario farm where driving the high clearance sprayer straight was the priority. “Driving straight is important, but there’s a whole lot of other stuff that goes into it,” he said, citing the safe use and disposal of chemicals to keep both the operator and the environment healthy. Grain far mer Humphrey Banack of Camrose, Alta., recalled his father giving him a shovel and a job to do. “We look at what we need to do and aren’t looking at the dangers,” said Banack. Banack stressed the importance of training and ensuring workers are capable of doing the tasks. He advised taking the time to assess the situation, calling it an opportunity to affect outcomes. “It’s not acceptable to see farmers without limbs and fingers,” Banack said, recalling his own recent close call on the farm. “Just a second of not thinking and I could have four less fingers. We overlook losses due to injury. We need to change the lens on how we look at this.”

AgSafe Alberta thinks baby steps are the best approach to upcoming changes in occupational health and safety requirements in farming in Alberta. It has designed quick start programs to get people started on farm safety programs in areas such as hazard analysis, emergenc y response, working at heights and fatigue management. It also includes videos with farmers sharing why they have such programs on their farms. Donna Trottier, the group’s

farm and ranch safety extension co-ordinator, said she can clear a room by raising the topic of farm safety with farmers. Many are hesitant to start a safety plan before the new provincial code is in place, she added. “I say, ‘why are you waiting to be safe or waiting for someone else to tell you how to be safe,’ ” she said. “We say, ‘let’s tailor a plan and see what fits.’ ” That includes such tasks as defining spaces for family and farm use.

Trottier suggested starting small and letting the safety plan grow, beginning with hazard assessment. “Just do a hazard assessment for one of the job tasks on the farm and see what that points out,” she said. “It’s just a starting point, it just opens the door.… Take the time to plan ahead and prepare. It will save you time down the road if you prevent an accident.” karen.morrison@producer.com

FARM LIVING

SEAWEED

Ocean is awash with offerings for nutritious dishes TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

ost of us don’t live near the ocean but that is no longer a reason to not use seaweed or sea vegetables in our meals. There are several foragers on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts that have successful businesses collecting and drying a number of varieties. The collection locations are often remote for better purity, and the seaweeds are dried before shipping to maintain freshness. The products are available in many health food stores or online. Seaweed contains a long list of beneficial nutrients. It can contain alginic acid and fucoidan that are said to help relieve constipation and diarrhea and balance cholesterol and sugar levels. Fucoidan is thought to be beneficial in reducing some cancers but more research is needed. It may also cause diarrhea or bloating because it is high in fibre. While it is considered safe when consumed as seaweed, it should not be taken by people taking anticoagulant medications to slow blood clotting because it too acts as an anticoagulant. It is rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulfur, silicon and iron and high in some B-complex vitamins. It contains moderate amounts of phosphorus, selenium, manganese and zinc and small amounts of Vitamins A, C, E and G. Seaweed absorbs the nutrients of the ocean but it can also absorb the contaminants in the water. That is why it is often harvested in remote areas. Most of the time the seaweed is reconstituted before use and it does bulk up to sometimes five times their dried size. Start with a little until you get to know how to work with it. Wakame tends to be milder in flavour, while kelp and kombu are stronger flavours. These are some of the varieties of seaweeds harvested:

Seaweed is available fresh or dried and can be used in vegetable salad, above, kelp scones and miso soup. | SARAH GALVIN PHOTOS • Kombu — This is famous for being used to make miso broth. It is a large brown seaweed with a dense texture. • Wakame — It can be added to salads, soups, fish, rice and lentils. It is one of the milder flavoured varieties. Wakame has been used by Asians for centuries for blood purification. • Bull Kelp — Chop and add to soups, salads, rice and pasta. • Bladderwrack — This is a brown seaweed that has been used medicinally for centuries. It is said to be the first source of iodine and has been used in treatment of thyroid disorders. It is most often made into a tea because it becomes very tough with drying. Steep dried bladderwrack overnight or a few hours. Flavour with ginger, mint or cinnamon and add a bit of honey. • Macro — this is a generic name for a variety of larger seaweeds.

der, grated ginger and kelp powder in a medium sized bowl. Add the cubed butter to flour mixture. Working quickly with your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until most of the butter resembles coarse cornmeal. You can also use a pastry blender. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Add to the flour mixture and stir until the dough starts to come together. Gently knead two or three times and then form the dough into a ball. Sprinkle the work surface lightly with flour. Place the ball of dough on the work surface and roll or pat the dough into a circle about one inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into six or eight wedges. Arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about one inch (2.5 cm) apart. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. The scones can be frozen unbaked after cutting into wedges. Freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet. When frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and they can then be stored in the freezer up to three months. Bake them directly from the freezer for about 25 minutes, turning halfway through for even baking. Adapted from the cookbook Lure by Ned Bell.

SPRING BULBS

Plant bulbs now for early spring colour SOWING SEEDS

LORNA MCILROY

s the trees turn shades of gold and formations of geese fly south, it is time to plant bulbs that will bring the first burst of spring colour to your garden. Bulbs are very easy to plant. They tolerate a wide range of soil but do not like wet feet. As a general rule, just dig a hole about three times the height of the bulb, place the bulb pointed end up, cover with soil and water well. Groups of bulbs look more natural than straight rows or single soldiers. Tulips are the best-known spring bulb and come in an incredible range of colours, shapes, sizes and blooming times. Tulip bulbs are readily available and can be successfully planted later in the fall than other bulbs. Tulips, Tulipa, are hardy, lowmaintenance, prefer a drier area and will naturalize. Tulipada tarda is a cheery yellow and white, while Tulipa Violet Queen is a rose colour. Daffodils, Narcissus, are versatile and hardy, from the tiny Tete-aTete to Ice Follies, Dutch Master, Mount Hood, the reliable King Alfred and hundreds more. Grape hyacinths, Muscari, are bright, beautiful and have a long flowering period and longevity in your garden. Crocuses (not to be confused with Anemone patens, the Manitoba floral emblem) provide very early spring colour of yellow, purples and white and then almost disappear until the following spring. Snowdrops are incredibly tough, blooming while the ground is still frozen. The tiny bulbs tend to dry out, so it is advisable to soak them overnight before planting and then plant as early as possible in the fall. Also early and very hardy, are Squills, Scilla. They are primarily a brilliant blue but may also be white, pink or purple.

Alliums are reliable, long-lived beauties that can be shades of purple, white, blue, pink or yellow, ranging in height from 15 to 150 centimetres with spherical blooms from two cm to a spectacular 40 cm in diameter. If you are interested in more than a feast for the eyes, garlic also belongs to the Allium or onion family and must be planted in the fall. The individual cloves should be planted point up, about 15 cm apart and covered with five cm of soil. If deer are a problem in your area, choose deer resistant bulbs. Daffodils and alliums are safe choices. Grape hyacinths are advertised as deer-resistant but hungry deer relish the green foliage and have mown them to the ground in my yard and spat out the unpalatable blossoms like blue confetti on my lawn. Bulbs are geophytes, which means they are perennial plants with underground food storage organs. They have everything they need to bloom in that magical little bulb. However, they are perennials that you will want to nourish for future years, so it is generally suggested that fertilizer be added at planting time. Some gardeners use bone meal, which is high in phosphorus, while others use special bulb fertilizer such as 10-52-10. This year I am adding a whole raw egg to the bulb planting hole. As it decomposes, it will add phosphorus as well as nitrogen and calcium to the soil. This would be a good use for surplus or stale eggs. It is very important to resist the urge to tidy up. Instead, allow the bulb foliage to grow and age naturally after blooming so that the bulb may be replenished for next year’s bloom. It works well to interplant with perennials or annuals, which will hide the ripening foliage. If you have never planted bulbs for spring bloom, try a few this fall. Their spring bloom will be like an unexpected gift. If you already enjoy tulips or daffodils, be adventurous and try planting a new species this fall.

family’s plentiful beet crop into borscht and the resultant profit into financing for the spaying and neutering of three spring kittens. “ ‘No’ was my immediate answer when the girls asked to keep a batch of kittens this summer,” said mother Renate Chittenden. Her stance softened as the girls promised to be responsible pet owners by financing the cost of fixing the felines. Two weeks ago, the girls posted their plan to sell homemade borscht online, initiating a flood of orders for the one-litre tubs of hearty soup priced at $7 each. By week’s end, Borscht for Birth Control had raised more than $260 and the Chittenden girls had their kittens enrolled in the Sask Alley Cats Association program that will see all three cats spayed and neutered for just $250. “I washed the beets and Heidi peeled the carrots,” said Maria, enthusiastic about the brisk sales of their borscht and the fact that they can now keep their kittens. The girls were following in the footsteps of their older brother, Sam, 14, who at 10 years old started his own tree farm. Each year the business has grown, with this year’s crop of Okanese poplar trees selling by the hundreds.

Sam’s second business venture, M o n t m a r t r e H o c k e y C a m p, attracted local kids for eight sessions at the family farm this summer where dry-land training and off-ice strength development was part of the structured afternoon sessions. The eldest Chittenden is saving to buy a car, which will add to his purchases of a second-hand snowmobile and some of his own hockey equipment. Renate, a social worker who has been operating her own contract business for 10 years, takes care of the finances of her and her husband’s rural electronics company, Chitt-tronics. Renate says she and Cory have encouraged their children to think creatively about generating their own money because of the qualities it instills. “It helps them learn that if they want something, they have to work for it,” said Renate, adding that confidence and leadership skills have come out of all three entrepreneurial activities undertaken by her kids. With the Borscht for Birth Control campaign still going strong, the Chittenden girls will donate all extra funds to the Sask Alley Cats Association.

ANTI-PSYCHOTIC DRUGS

Hoarding or Is medicating kids with learning issues necessary? collecting? HEALTH CLINIC A: SPEAKING OF LIFE

CLARE ROWSON, MD JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

I always knew when I was a kid that my mom kept too much stuff around the house but I never really gave much thought to it until a few years ago after Dad died. Since then, the amount of junk cluttering up the house is way beyond any sense of reason. I think that Mom is hoarding and I want her to get treatment for it but my older brother says otherwise. He thinks that Mom is just a collector. He wants us to sit down with her and talk about how to cut down on whatever it is that is filling her little house. But now I am puzzled. My brother might be right, I don’t know. My question is, how do you tell a hoarder apart from a collector? Can you help us?

S ometimes figur ing out the difference between a hoarder and a collector is difficult. Both get possessive of what are accumulating. But their emotions in the process are different. A collector is likely to have a sense of pride in what she is collecting and that can lead to a shot in the arm for increased self-esteem. A hoarder is likely to get a sense of personal comfort from what she is hoarding but usually exhibits little self-esteem. Hoarders are so desperate at times to keep what they have accumulated that they are willing to sacrifice their personal dignity in the process. Your mother started picking up more things after your father’s death and that leads to questions of whether hoarding is helping to comfort her through the grieving. You and your brother might try talking about this with her. There are a couple of other things for you to watch. One is organization. Collectors love to organize their goods. When I was a kid, everyone was collecting stamps. Real collectors had their stamps carefully pasted in an album with side notes documenting each stamp. The album itself was a piece of artwork. Hoarders are not that well organized. They tend to be indecisive. They cannot decide where to put things. All that hoarders really know is that they cannot throw things away, even if their stuff is filling the house and making reasonable living impossible. If your mom is hoarding, you might refer her to a local mental health clinic. The professionals there will not call in a moving van to empty your mother’s house, but they can help your mother resolve her anxieties. Even if your brother is right, you should try to help your mom make her house a more reasonable place in which to live.

As a person who works with at risk teenagers, I have noticed that almost all of them are on some type of tranquilizers or antipsychotic drugs to treat their learning disabilities or hyperactive behaviour. Is this really necessary? I am concerned about the longterm side-effects of these drugs.

I agree that there does seems to be a growing tendency these days to treat every child who exhibits unruly behaviour with medication. Sometimes it is the parents, and occasionally the teachers, who demand some type of miracle cure for a certain child’s behaviour. I believe that many doctors are bending to the pressure from others when they overprescribe these types of drugs. Of course, in some cases, the child may be psychotic and antipsychotic medications are necessary to treat of the underlying psychiatric condition. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC) has discovered that as many as 75 percent of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are receiving drugs rather than behaviour therapy. The United Kingdom appears to have similar statistics. The medications involved are often stimulants such as Ritalin or Adderall. Side-effects include appetite suppression, poor growth and insomnia. Long-term side-effects have not been sufficiently studied to reach definite conclusions. The CDC has recommended that children under the age of six with ADHD should first be referred for training and behaviour therapy before resorting to these drugs.

Unfortunately, in Canada, many child psychologists have private offices and so their services may not be covered by provincial health plans. However, there are some free provincial children’s services. Child and Family Services in the Edmonton and Calgary region are examples of these in Alberta. In Saskatchewan, there is Mental Health Services for Children and Youth. For more information, you can check out eMentalHealth.ca on the web.

Alberta dairy pleased with hands-on approach Operators returned to a milking parlour system after experiencing an increase in mastitis with robotic milking BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TEMPEST, Alta. — The Van den Pol dairy farm is bucking the trend when it comes to robotic milking. Though many dairy farms are moving to autonomous technology, Gys Van den Pol removed his robotic milkers and went back to an eight-stall milking parlour at the family dairy operation near Coaldale, Alta. Some may say the parlour is oldfashioned, said Van den Pol, but his 80 purebred Holsteins produce 45 kilograms of milk per day, on aver-

age, amounting to about 14,000 kg per cow a year, and each cow produces about 1.7 kg of butterfat daily. “The first year, it went pretty good,” said Van den Pol about the venture into robotic milking. “We were pounded with mastitis the second year. The second year, our production went down about seven or eight kilos per cow per day and we had very bad mastitis.” Bacteria and water in the milk compounded the problems and the maintenance bills were high. “It was not going right in any direction so we decided to change. We have no problems with quality

eschew technology. On the contrary, each cow wears an electronic ear tag through which Van den Pol can monitor the temperature, feed intake and movement of each anima, and receive an alert if patterns shift from the usual norms. The cows are milked three times per day, and one person can usher about 50 cows an hour through the milking parlour. Van den Pol and his wife, Silia, have one full-time employee and several part-time workers to help with milking. They and their three daughters, Corien, Djoeke and Tilly, came to Canada from Holland in 1999. They used to operate a hog farm,

but Van den Pol said excessive regulation was making it difficult to continue. Though he acknowledges that regulations in Canada are increasing, “it’s a more relaxed way of living here.” The three daughters are not directly involved in the dairy. Gys and Silia doubt any of their daughters will want to take over the farm, so a succession plan isn’t on the priority list. “They all help. If they’re home, they help with the farm. They spent a lot of time on the farm through 4-H and a lot of other stuff.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE It was all hands on deck earlier this year, when Van den Pol Dairy hosted Breakfast on a Dairy Farm organized by Alberta Milk. About 700 people visited and received breakfast and tours of the operation. The Van den Pols volunteered their farm for the event because they believe it’s important for people to see how milk is produced. “I think it was a good thing to do. It’s important for the industry. Somebody has to stand up, otherwise nothing gets done,” Van den Pol said. “Lots of people liked it, to see what’s happening in reality and

how things are handled and how cows are handled, how you treat the cows.” Added Silia: “It was nice. It was busy, and the day (weather) was nice.” The operation grows its own feed for the cattle, farming 65 acres of silage corn and 65 acres of alfalfa for hay. Another 90 acres are rented for hay production, and rations are mixed in the onfarm feed mill. “We try to do as much as we can ourselves to keep costs down,” said Gys. The cows are housed in an open concept barn with a compost bedding pack that has canola straw as a base ingredient. Cow comfort is

paramount and the sign on the barn indicates the dairy is the “home of contented cows.” “Cows have to be content,” said Gys. “If we are not content with them, they will not be content with us. Cow comfort is a very important thing so they don’t deal with obstacles if they have to get up. And they just can lay down wherever they want. It helps for production.” Good breeding is vital to the operation. The farm is ranked among the top 100 herds in Canada for its genetics. It has an embryo flushing program and sells breeding bulls. The herd is also free of Johne’s disease and has participated in a University of Calgary study by

providing disease-free calves for research purposes. Like most dairy farmers in Canada, Gys is following developments on the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, but he isn’t worried that supply management will be dealt away. “Our government guaranteed that they won’t beg out of supply management because it’s a good system,” he said.

GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) — The European Union and Canada have ended a 21-year dispute over hormone-treated meat after negotiating a wider trade agreement, they said in a filing published by the World Trade Organization Oct. 3. The settlement of the dispute at the WTO, which began in 1996, was facilitated by a liberalization of trade under the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Free Trade Agreement (CETA), which came into force Sept. 21, they said. “This enhanced co-operation and deeper understanding was conducive for finding a mutually agreed solution and settling the dispute,” the joint EU-Canadian statement to the WTO said. Under the terms of the deal, Canada gives up any right to retaliate over the decades-old complaint, which alleged the EU was breaking WTO rules by banning hormonetreated beef. Canada’s use of hormones had effectively blocked Canadian beef exports to the EU, and during the CETA talks Ottawa argued for Brussels to accept a larger quota of hormone-free beef to make production economically viable. The dispute over hormones was at the heart of the long-running CETA negotiations, and by 2013 sources close to the talks said the EU was offering 40,000 tonnes against Canada’s demand for 100,000 tonnes per year. The eventual deal allowed Canada to raise its exports to the EU in stages to 50,000 tonnes of duty-free beef, as well as 80,000 tonnes of pork and 100,000 of wheat. The European Commission has said that “CETA will not change the way the EU regulates food safety, including genetically modified products or the ban on hormonetreated beef.” The United States had a similar W TO dispute with the EU and slapped sanctions on a list of EU goods from truffles to chocolates to cheese to retaliate against its rejection of U.S. hormone-treated beef. However, in 2009 the United States agreed to remove its retaliatory duties in return for a promise of 45,000 tonnes of hormone-free beef sales into the EU. The EU’s imports of fresh U.S. beef rose from $67 million in 2009 to $300 million in 2015, while EU beef imports from Canada have remained below $10 million per year, lower even than its imports of Canadian horse meat. Trade exper ts cite the EU ’s defence of its stance on hormonetreated meat, and a similar battle over chlorine-washed chicken, as evidence of the trading bloc’s power to set food standards that its smaller neighbours, such as Switzerland or post-Brexit Britain in the future, are obliged to abide by.

Soaring river freight hits U.S. farmers as grain prices slide A logjam on the Mississippi River sent hauling costs up and prices for corn and soybean down

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. farmers are running out of options for their just-harvested corn and soybeans as delays on the Mississippi River, the main conduit for crops to export markets, cause shipping backlogs, while grain

storage on the river’s banks is filling up. Low river levels and back-ups at aging locks have slowed navigation on the Mississippi and its tributaries and driven the cost of hauling Midwestern crops to Gulf Coast export terminals to near-record highs. As newly harvested supplies reach the market, elevators with barges on hand are prioritizing loading soybeans while storing corn if they have space, traders and barge brokers said. Cash soybean premiums at several large river terminals in the St. Louis area fell to the lowest point since at least 2011, while soy processors and inland elevators also dropped bids amid ample available supplies, grain merchants said. “There are a lot of trickle-down effects that are being felt throughout the whole industry,” “ said Terry Linn, analyst at Chicago brokerage Linn and Associates.

Corn supplies have not been this high since

1988

“It starts with the low water on the rivers and the trouble getting bushels where they need to be in exporters’ hands. The grain handling woes come as farmers are beginning to harvest bumper corn and soybean crops amid weakening harvest-time prices with soybean stocks at a decade high and corn supplies at the biggest in 29 years. “People are running out of space. Everybody’s been stuffing their bin space with corn and shipping beans. Now they can’t find enough barges when they need them to move the beans,” said a barge broker who asked not to be named. Shippers that have barges on hand are loading them with less grain to keep them from grounding in parched rivers, while barge lines are reducing the number of barges per tow to navigate the narrower shipping channel. Barges in the Memphis to Cairo, Illinois, market traded at an alltime high while spot barges on the lower Ohio River were booked at a level reached just once, in September 2014. Exacerbating the situation, the Ohio River was temporarily closed Oct. 2 for emergency lock repairs, according to the Waterways Council. The lock has resumed operating, but a queue of more than 65 towboats was waiting to pass, a backlog that could take more than five days to clear, barge operator American Commercial Line said in a daily newsletter.

HEALTHY EGGS

Free Bird eggs latest entry into free-range market Vitala, the company behind the product, claims these are the only freerange eggs that have 100 percent of the required daily intake of vitamin D BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

Another free-range egg product is entering the market as consumers continue to demand food from animals that are raised ethically. Vitala Foods of Abbotsford, B.C., recently launched Free Bird Eggs, which are fortified with vitamin D. Bill Vanderkooi, a partner with Vitala, said the company was awarded extra quota to make Free Bird happen. The company works with farmers in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, and the eggs are sold in both provinces. “It’s been a good partnership,” Vanderkooi said, noting the extra quota allowed younger egg farmers to enter the industry. “This was that channel to get them into it, and we support that effort by helping with the branding and marketing.” However, Vanderkooi said what makes Free Bird Eggs stand out is that one egg offers 100 percent of the required daily intake of vitamin D. Having 100 percent daily intake is important, he added, because twothirds of Canadians are at risk of vitamin D deficiency, especially in

the winter months, according to Health Canada. Vitamin D deficiency is caused by low levels of sunlight absorption and can potentially increase the risks of cancer, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. “We’re the only free-range egg product on the market to have this,” Vanderkooi said. “Having 100 percent daily value is a key thing for us.”

To ensure the eggs are rich in vitamin D, he said the hens are fed a vegetarian formula that consists of yeast that’s been put into a suntanning-bed-like machine, where it absorbs bountiful amounts of ultraviolet rays. The yeast is then added to the feed after it’s been dried and killed. “We did a ton of research and trials in order to do this,” he said. As well, the fact that the eggs are

free-range, which means the hens aren’t caged and can access the outdoors for pasture and sunlight, g i v e s Vi t a l a a n u p p e r- ha n d , Vanderkooi added. “The main reason we did this is because we’re responding to consumer needs on how hens are being raised,” he said. “We did some market researching before taking this on, and we found more and more are leaning

toward these specialty categories. Organic is a big one and so is freerange.” The company has a mascot named Freeda, which helps with promotion. “She’s an animated brown chicken who explains why her eggs are healthy,” he said. “Everyone loves a little freedom.” jeremy.simes@producer.com

Fake organic imports not seen as major problem in Canada BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

This unique flower display was found recently on the outskirts of Winkler, Man. |

Bogus organic food could be entering the United States because of poor oversight, and the same may be happening in Canada. In a report released in September, the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that authorities at American ports are failing to detect organic food imports that

Farmers prove that 6074 RR yields like InVigor ®

“The results were very close but 6074 RR out-yielded the InVigor variety,” says Mike Bartley at Killarney, Manitoba. “In the past usually InVigor has been a bit better than Roundup Ready varieties, but 6074 RR can compete with InVigor.” Bartley grew 80 acres of 6074 RR in the middle of a 530acre ﬁeld of InVigor L252 canola. His 6074 RR yield was 54.8 bushels per acre and L252 was 53.1 bushels per acre. He swathed both varieties and says that 6074 RR went through the combine easier and threshed easier.

Farmer-run trials; 6074 RR out-yields InVigor In 2017 so far, about a third of the Challenge Trials have been harvested and reported. 6074 RR has outyielded InVigor varieties in ﬁve out of six challenges and equaled InVigor in the sixth. In a year of difﬁcult growing conditions, 6074 RR is averaging 46.9 bushels per acre 6% higher than the InVigor varieties.

With yields that lead the Genuity® Roundup Ready® segment, 6074 RR proved it could go head-to-head with the perceived yield leader, InVigor® hybrids. In 2016, the BrettYoung vs. InVigor Challenge Trials were launched – these are farmer-run, head-to-head trials across Western Canada that featured 6074 RR against the best InVigor hybrids. In those trials, 6074 RR yielded 102% of InVigor with an average 53.6 bushels per acre. And 2017 results are once again proving that 6074 RR can challenge InVigor yields.

DefendR Sclerotinia tolerance trait BrettYoung introduced the DefendR™ trait platform as part of an active disease management strategy. 6074 RR carries the DefendR Sclerotinia tolerance trait and has improved Sclerotinia tolerance over susceptible checks. “6074 RR has Sclerotinia tolerance at levels that will reduce impacts of infection and reduce yield loss wherever disease pressure is present,” says Rene Mabon, Agronomic and Regulatory Services Manager with BrettYoung. Mabon says the DefendR trait allows for greater flexibility in fungicide application timing if flowering is uneven and staggered. Additionally, the improved Sclerotinia tolerance can help reduce the impact of Sclerotinia in long-flower crops where the window of fungicide protection has lapsed. “If environmental conditions favor the disease, we recommend selecting varieties with the DefendR Sclerotinia tolerance trait as well as using a fungicide for a complete defense.” says Mabon.

aren’t actually organic. The report focused on procedural and protocol failings at U.S. ports of entry, but a representative of one of the largest organic certification bodies in North America said Canada also has challenges with phony organic imports. “I think a lot of what you see in the USDA report is also of concern on the Canadian side,” said Byron Hamm, certification manager with Pro-Cert Organic, which has its headquarters in Saskatoon. “From our discussions with the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) … they’ve clearly shown to us that they are very concerned about this and they are following what’s happening in the U.S. right now, and they are looking at our systems.” The USDA’s Office of the Inspector General, the author of the report, said the department’s Agricultural Marketing Service, which oversees organic rules and regulations, isn’t doing enough to ensure the validity of organic food imports. “The lack of controls at U.S. ports of entry increases the risk that nonorganic products may be imported as organic into the United States,” the report said. “(The) AMS was unable to provide reasonable assurance that … required documents were reviewed at U.S. ports of entry to verify that imported agricultural products labelled as organic were from certified organic foreign farms.” The USDA report confirms the findings of a Washington Post story from earlier this year. The Post reported on three fraudulent shipments of organic corn and soybeans that entered American ports. One of the shiploads was 36 million pounds of soybeans that originated in Ukraine, was shipped through Turkey and arrived at port in Stockton, California. The beans started the journey as c o nv e nt i o na l b u t e a r n e d a n “organic” label during the trip, increasing the value of the shipment by $4 million, the Post said. Imports of organic foods, particularly feedgrains, are common in North America because Canadian and America farmers haven’t been producing enough organic corn, soybeans and other grains for the organic livestock trade. Organic feedgrains have received most of the attention since the Post story, but other organic commodities are not perfect, Hamm said. “Whenever there is that differential (in price between organic and conventional) there is that potential for fraud.” So when the price of organic flaxseed jumps to $42 a bushel, it’s awfully tempting for a grain handler or middleman to label regular flax as organic and pocket a $25 to $30 per bu. profit. “Or things like goji berries,” Hamm said. “In organic, goji always raises a flag.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Âť CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Rochelle Eisen, Canadian Organic Growers president, is aware of concerns around imported feedgrains but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not convinced other organic products are dubious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the imports that come into Canada, in fresh fruits and vegetables, are coming in from Mexico and South America,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not (from) Eastern Europe where the problem is.â&#x20AC;? A portion of the organic grains coming into North America is grown in places like Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine, which are routinely ranked as the most corrupt in Europe. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to estimate the amount of organic grain coming into Canada from those countries. Tia Loftsgard, Canadian Organic Trade Association executive director, said last year that the federal government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t track organic imports so there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t information on volumes for products like feedgrains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are lobbying for that to change,â&#x20AC;? she said.

One of weaknesses of the existing system is that Canada doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require an organic import certificate, which is standard in Europe, Hamm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That documents all product coming in through the government authorities,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically putting into a database a record of all the product thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming in (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) identified as organic, and bringing some traceability to origin on it.â&#x20AC;? Without an import certificate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more difficult for organic certifying bodies in Canada to track an organic product back to the source. Pro-Cert can ask an organic producer about his imported feedgrains, but the farmer may not have that information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My client may not have access to the supplier of (his) supplier,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may go back three or four different hands, or across three or four different countries.â&#x20AC;? People in the organic trade are troubled by fraudulent imports, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like all feedgrains coming into the country are suspect, Hamm said. There are legitimate overseas suppliers of feedgrains that are fully organic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are getting painted with this (broad brush).â&#x20AC;? The legitimacy of organic imports may be in the news at the moment, but there will always be people who try to cheat the system, Eisen said. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident that governments and the organic industry will take the necessary steps to rein in the fraudsters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get fixed,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Problems happen and the U.S. caught itâ&#x20AC;Ś. I think most of the feed coming into Canada would be coming from the U.S. So if the U.S. cleans its house up, it will eliminate our problems.â&#x20AC;? robert.arnason@producer.com

Lack of rain may see Brazilian corn acres plummet

Using anything else is a short-sighted approach. Ask for MicroEssentials by name and trust the only one with over 12 years of proven results.

SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Scarce rain over key Brazilian grain growing regions in September may cause an unexpectedly bigger reduction in the area planted with corn during the summer, according to an Oct. 2 weather report. The summer corn planted area was initially expected to fall 20 to 25 percent because of a drop in the price of the commodity, said Marco Antonio dos Santos, founding partner at Rural Clima. “But September was extremely dry and hot and this percentage is likely to increase as the ideal window for summer corn planting was shortened,” the forecaster said. “The situation is pushing more producers to replace corn planting with soy.” The government’s supply and statistics agency Conab said summer corn, also known as first corn, was planted over an area of 13.5 million acres in the previous crop. Due to poor rains, Brazil’s soy producers had planted only 1.5 percent of the 2017-18 crop through Sept. 28, less than half the level at this time last year. In addition, scarce rains caused summer corn planting to be completely halted, with some crop damage in the southern states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. That happened on farms where corn was seeded in early September, according to Rural Clima. Still, soil humidity levels rose recently in Brazil’s main grain regions, which is expected to help farmers advance soy planting as well as aid fields that have been seeded. However, while rain was expected in the west-central, southeastern and southern regions of the country, it was expected to be irregular, the forecaster said, adding that soy farmers should proceed “with caution” until conditions improve. Soy and corn account for about 90 percent of Brazil’s grain output. During the second half of October rains become more frequent over main producing regions, Rural Clima said.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association wanted the Canadian Wheat Board to set up a separate pool for top-quality wheat so that farmers wouldn’t lose money because of the pooling system. However, the wheat board said it couldn’t do so because of a federal court ruling in a mid-1980s lawsuit related to a similar request.

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

75 YEARS AGO: OCT. 8, 1942 Cora Hind, an internationally recognized reporter who became famous for the accuracy of her annual Canadian wheat crop forecasts, died at the age of 81. Hind spent much of her career covering agriculture for the Winnipeg Free Press and later wrote a column the Free Press Prairie Farmer. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board announced plans to ration new farm equipment. The manufacture of farm tools and machinery had already been cut to divert steel to war plants.

10 YEARS AGO: OCT. 11, 2007 A major bank said rising grain prices were partly to blame for the strengthening loonie. “Oil has grabbed the attention of Canadian dollar trackers, but fueling the body, as well as the car, is also becoming a source of support for the Canadian currency,” said the CIBC.

THE PROBLEMS OF PLENTY Modern genetics sowed the seeds of a world grain glut. With countries stockpiling supplies in anticipation of lean years and production ramping up, what will happen to world prices when the market floods?

ARMAN, Man. (Reuters) — Prairie summers are generally considered too short to grow a decent corn crop on a major scale. But that’s been changing lately as the crop gradually creeps northward and westward as new crop genetics come into play. And now agr icultural giant Monsanto is developing what it hopes will be North America’s fastest-maturing corn, allowing western Canadian farmers to grow more and expanding the crop’s reach to other less hospitable climates, such as Ukraine. The seed and chemical company projects that western Canadian corn plantings could multiply 20 times to 10 million acres by 2025, adding about 1.1 billion bushels, or nearly three percent to global production. The question, amid historically high supplies and low grain prices, is whether the world really needs

more corn. A global grain glut is now in its fourth year, with supplies bloated by favourable weather, increasingly high-tech farm practices and tougher plant breeds. The bin-busting har vests of cheap corn, wheat and soybeans are undermining the business models of the world’s largest agriculture firms and the farmers who use their products and services. Some analysts say the firms have effectively innovated their way into a stubbornly oversupplied market. Never has the world produced so much more food than can be consumed in one season. Worldwide, the end of crop-year stocks of total grains have climbed for four straight years and are poised to reach a record 638 million tonnes in 2016-17, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Farmers and agriculture firms

could once count on periodic bouts of bad weather to tame gluts and drive up prices. But genetically modified crops that repel plantchewing insects, withstand lethal chemicals and mature faster have made the trend toward oversupply more resistant to traditional boomand-bust cycles. Another key factor: China, the world’s second-biggest corn grower, adopted stockpiling policies a decade ago when crop supplies ran thin, resulting in greater production than the world needs. “I think the norm is where we are now,” said Bryan Agbabian, director of agriculture equities at Allianz Global Investors. Allianz investors seem to agree: The value of two agriculture equity funds that Agbabian manages fell to US$300 million this year from $800 million in 2011 as crop prices slid, he said. Abundant supplies have helped

lower food prices, but the benefit to consumers and impoverished nations is muted by several factors, including problems with corruption and distribution of food in developing regions, said Sylvain Charlebois, professor of food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University in Halifax. The large harvests may actually harm poor communities more than they benefit their residents in food savings because lower prices depress farm incomes in the same areas, said John Baffes, a senior economist at the World Bank. Even as farmers reap bountiful harvests, U.S. net farm incomes this year will total $63.4 billion, about half of their earnings in 2013, according to a USDA forecast. Lower incomes mean farmers cannot spend as much on seed, fertilizer and machinery, extending their pain to firms across the agriculture sector.

PotashCorp, the world’s biggest fertilizer company by capacity, closed its newest potash mine last year, eliminating more than 400 jobs, and has seen its U.S.-listed shares fall by nearly half since the beginning of 2015. The drop erased $14 billion in value and left PotashCorp seeking to merge with rival Agrium Inc. With profits under pressure, seed and chemical companies are scrambling to consolidate. Monsanto’s annual profit in 2016 was its smallest in six years. It agreed last year to combine with Bayer, which would create the world’s largest integrated pesticide and seed company if the deal closes next year. Grain handler Bunge Ltd. said this summer it would cut costs and left the door open to selling itself after posting a 34 percent drop in quarterly earnings. Bunge chief executive officer

NEWS Soren Schroder sought to reassure investors in May by saying all that was needed to trim supplies was one bad stretch of weather in the U.S. Midwest. But the grain glut pervades many major farming regions, making it unlikely that drought or floods in one region could wipe out the mounting global surplus. Even with dry conditions in North America, Europe and Australia, the USDA forecasts that this year will bring the second-biggest global corn, wheat and soybean harvests ever. Bunge’s Schroder made his comment about bad weather less than three weeks before confirming an informal merger approach from commodities giant Glencore. “When prices tanked, farmers were no longer willing to pay more” for seed and chemicals, said Jonas Oxgaard, analyst at investment management firm Bernstein. “The mergers are absolutely driven by oversupply because their growth is gone.” Monsanto spokesperson Trish Jordan said the company believes demand growth still justifies corn expansion, and she disputed the notion that crop science advances are backfiring on agricultural technology firms. Monsanto rival Dow DuPont Inc. is making the same bet and currently sells the shortest-season field corn in Nor th Amer ica, maturing in 70 days, spokesperson Ali Aziz said. Success in the lab and the field, however, has contributed to oversupply and may continue to sustain it, said Oxgaard, the Bernstein analyst. “It’s somewhat the seed companies’ fault. They keep breeding better and better seeds every year,” he said.

HARLES DARWIN helped plant the seeds of the grain glut. The biologist and evolution theorist showed in the late 1800s that cross-fertilization of plants, in which sex cells are fused between crop varieties of the same species, creates a more vigorous breed than those that are self-fertilized. His work and others’ influenced successive generations of crop scientists and led to the development of hybrid corn, said Stephen Moose, a professor specializing in crop genetics at the University of Illinois. U.S. farmers started planting the first significant acres of hybrid corn in the 1930s, and by 1950 it made up nearly all the corn seeded in the United States. Yields exploded. Farmers who reaped 20.5 bushels of corn per acre in 1930 harvested an average of 38.2 bu. per acre in 1950, according to the USDA. Further hybrid breeding breakthroughs generated corn with leaves that grow more erect, allowing farmers to sow it more densely without starving plants of sunlight. Yields first topped 100 bu. per acre in 1978. After conventional breeding breakthroughs became harder to find, corn gained new vigour through the 1990s with genetic modification. In 1996, U.S. regulators approved corn that was genetically modified to produce bug-killing proteins, accomplished by inserting a bacterium hostile to the corn borer insect into the plant genome. Before the end of the 1990s, corn able to resist weed-killing chemical g l u f o s i n a t e o r M o n s a n t o’s glyphosate hit the market. Those modified varieties and

others that followed proved pivotal in generating the abundant corn crops that have since become commonplace, Moose said. “In the seed industry, it stimulated a whole other round of investment,” Moose said. In the 20 years since genetically modified corn reached U.S. farms, yields jumped another 37 percent to a record 174.6 bu. per acre last year. Some experts believe the expansion of corn yields may soon hit a ceiling. The crop may be nearing the natural limit of its production potential, and crop yields will likely plateau in the next decade, based on how plants convert light to food and their ability to recover from heat, said Ken Cassman, agronomy professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Technology has also provided better defences against pests. Syngenta’s Viptera and Duracade traits, used to control worms and beetles, launched in 2010 and 2013. SmartStax corn seed, introduced by Monsanto and Dow in 2009, brought twin benefits of insect protection and herbicide tolerance, said Paul Bertels, vice-president of production and sustainability at the U.S. National Corn Growers Association. The breakthroughs in seed and pesticide technologies have not come without problems. Monsanto is now embroiled in a controversy over dicamba, a big-selling chemical designed to kill weeds that harm Monsanto’s GM crops. Many U.S. farmers say dicamba has drifted from its intended fields, damaging plants that are not resistant to the chemical. Monsanto believes the main causes of drifting are errors by farmers and applicators in deploying the herbicide, company spokesperson Charla Lord said. As corn grew stronger, it also grew faster. Corn that required 120 days to mature in the U.S. corn belt during the 1960s now needs only 105 to 115 days. Farmers in northern North Dakota plant and harvest corn in 80 days and have doubled the state’s production in five years. Fast corn is now stirring the imaginations of researchers in the far north. University of Alaska Fairbanks horticulture professor Meriam Karlsson grew hundreds of corn plants in the state in 2015. The plants, germinated in a greenhouse before they were transplanted outside, grew from a short-season garden corn variety that matured in less than 60 days. Corn rose only four to five feet, allowing plants to spend maximum energy on growing ears, rather than leaves and stalks. Karlsson had expected few corn plants to survive in Fairbanks, which is less than 190 kilometres from the Arctic Circle. “It’s much more adaptable than I expected,” she said. “Amazing what breeding can do. It was kind of exciting that you could do it.” The lure of technology comes down to money for farmers. Even with Chicago corn futures down more than 50 percent from their 2012 record high, the highyielding crop offers one of the strongest returns to Canadian farmers, generating profits per acre four times that of canola, based on average prices and costs, said National Bank analyst Greg Colman.

S CORN SPREADS across the Canadian Prairies, those robust yields are winning farmers over, said Dan Wright, Monsanto Canada’s lead for corn and soybeans. “Once you harvest corn at 140 or 180 bu., it’s something you want to do again,” he said. The problems of plenty were on nobody’s mind less than a decade ago. In 2008, a dramatic food price run-up stirred riots from Haiti to Egypt. Four years later, the U.S. Midwest,

Aiming for self-sufficiency in grains, Beijing bought virtually the entire domestic crop each year and paid farmers as much as 60 percent more than global prices. the engine of the global corn and soybean growing machine, suffered its worst drought in decades, opening gaping cracks in the soil and withering crops. C h i c a g o c o r n a n d s oy b e a n futures hit record highs as U.S. production fell to multi-year lows. But high prices ultimately proved the cure for high prices. Farmers in traditionally less productive corn-growing countries

such as Russia, Argentina and Brazil expanded corn output to seize bigger profits. U.S. farming quickly rebounded, reaping record corn harvests in three of the next four years. New corn varieties have made global production more balanced than ever, with 12 countries producing at least 10 million tonnes of corn annually, up from 10 countries before the drought.

Balance sheet bootcamp for family farm succession In any family farm succession, there’s an emotional objective at stake and a financial one too. The emotional goal is to maintain positive family harmony after everyone shakes hands. The financial goal is to transfer assets between generations at a fair price for all parties while minimizing tax liabilities. The older generation needs a predictable, secure income to fund their future years. The younger generation needs to assume ownership and management of the farm business on terms that are sustainable. Valuation is key. If farm assets are under-priced, the older generation could find it difficult to maintain a comfortable lifestyle in the coming years. If farm assets are priced too high, the future viability of the farm could be called into question. Gwen Paddock, National Manager of Agriculture and Agribusiness for RBC®, believes that if each generation considers the needs of the other, an outcome can be achieved that is both emotionally and financially positive. “Beyond structuring the new owners’ banking arrangements, we can also contribute ideas on growing the farm business while managing risk,” says Paddock. “As you go through your family’s succession journey, we’ll be with you every step of the way.” What’s your next move?

Even if U.S. or Brazilian corn crops suffered major weather damage, the world would still have the expanding Black Sea corn region to tap, not to mention China’s enormous supplies, said Bertels, of the U.S. corn growers. China’s stockpiling policies, enacted in 2007 when corn supplies were tight, also stimulated oversupply. Aiming for self-sufficiency in grains, Beijing bought virtually the entire domestic crop each year and paid farmers as much as 60 percent more than global prices. The program stuffed Chinese warehouses with some 250 million tonnes of corn by the time Beijing scrapped it last year. China is now boosting incentives for farmers to switch to soybeans from corn. “The world’s corn is mainly in China,” said Li Qiang, chief consultant at Shanghai JC Intelligence Co Ltd. He said it will take three to four years for stocks to reach a normal level of 40 to 50 million tonnes. The Black Sea region, made up of Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, has become a disruptive force with rapidly expanding exports. Moscow aims to drive grain production to 150 million tonnes by 2030 from 117 million in 2016 after increasing storage and export capacity in ports in the last couple years. Glut conditions are expected to ease modestly this year, amid dry conditions in China and the U.S., but supplies are still so large that prices remain weak. In northern North Dakota, an expanding frontier for corn and soybeans, Paul Thomas started dabbling in both crops about a decade ago on his farm near Minot,

seeking higher returns than wheat. Both are now among his biggest crops, including short-season Monsanto corn varieties that have been available for only a couple years. Profits may be tougher for Thomas to eke out this year due to dry weather and soft prices, but he shrugs off the struggle. “We’re very capable of producing a large amount of bushels given an economic incentive,” he said. “If we end up overproducing, then we shift to one that’s more in need. That’s just the way agriculture works.” Thomas acknowledged, however, that the traditional dynamic may be changing. “I don’t know any single crop that isn’t in oversupply,” he said. Seeding equipment is becoming more precise, and increasingly cost-conscious farmers are applying fertilizer and chemicals more intelligently, said Al Mussell, head of research at Agri-Food Economic Systems a Canadian economic research firm. Monsanto projects that corn will become by the mid-2020s one of the biggest crops produced in Canada, up there with current key crops canola, wheat, various pulse crops and pork. Soybeans are also spreading across Canada where farmers seeded a record 7.3 million acres in 2017, up 75 percent in five years. On Monsanto’s research farm in Carman, the next target is marketing a corn variety that matures in 70 days within the next two years. After that: an even quicker plant to snatch DowDuPont’s claim to North America’s fastest corn. It is ambitious but realistic, said Kelly Boddy, manager of Monsanto’s research farm. “Wind the clock back a few years,” he said, “and breeders wouldn’t have thought it possible.”

FORAGE

Hay shortage could make winter feeding difficult in Sask. However, Alberta growers have had near record production BY TERRY FRIES COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

Many cattle producers looking for local feed this winter might have a difficult time, says Saskatchewan Agriculture’s provincial forage specialist. Terry Kowalchuk of Saskatchewan Agriculture said many cattle producers, especially in southern areas, are going to have to scratch around to find feed this winter. Kowalchuk said localized shortages will prompt industrious producers to find other sources. How soon depends on how much hay they have stockpiled. Many cattle producers have a year’s supply to get them through times when lower quality forages are tight. He said lower quality grain crops harvested in drought-ravaged southwestern and south-central Saskatchewan may offer cattle producers an alternative. As well, he said he expects to see many farmers cutting ditches, using straw and chaff and finding other sources of inexpensive feed this fall and winter.

quality has been very good, the yield, the yields were pretty fair. For the most part, world market prices are decent,” Shaw said. “So, it’s almost like a home run where you get the pricing, the weather, yield, quality all together. That’s not too common.” He said one problem is a lack of enough lower quality forages, which some of his cost-conscious clients want.

Adding to the problem, many farmers in southwestern and south-central areas have had to take cattle off grazing lands early to preserve pastures. Early feeding brings an added cost most producers can ill afford. “If we have an early winter and it’s extremely cold, there will be serious pressure on the cattle industry in particular,” Kowalchuk said. “If they’ve already exhausted alternative supplies and costs don’t pencil out, then you start to look at destocking.” He estimated producers in the southwestern and south-central regions cut about 50 percent of the hay they have in previous years. However, the situation isn’t all doom and gloom. Producers further north in the grey and black soil zones and those producing high quality feed for export in Alberta saw near record hay production. Ed Shaw, director of market development for Green Prairie International, a forage supplier based in Lethbridge, said this year has been one of the best he’s seen for high quality forages.

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — A desire to support local grain prices has been a key factor in the rare situation of Russian officials being among the last in the global agriculture industry to say their 2017 grain crop would hit a record, analysts and sources said. Some countries are routinely suspected of understating their commodities’ output in a bid to

shore up prices for their producers, but Russia, one of the world’s top wheat exporters, is usually keen to promote its agricultural achievements, reminding some market players of the five-year plans in the days of the Soviet Union. However, Russia’s agriculture ministry only said the country’s 2017 grain crop was on track to hit an all-time record Sept. 28. The previous record of 127 million tonnes was reached in 1978, it told a government meeting. The significant upgrade from a previous official estimate came three weeks after unofficial forecasts from Moscow’s leading agriculture consultancies SovEcon and IKAR were upgraded to around 133 million tonnes. “Amid quite limited resources, the agriculture ministry was probably hoping to constrain the fall in prices with low forecasts,” said Andrey Sizov, managing director of the SovEcon Agriculture consultancy. Russia’s domestic grain prices have been under pressure as the country harvests a large crop for a fourth consecutive year. The agriculture ministry has been refraining from large domestic purchases for its state grain stocks, which it has used to support prices in previous years as it aims to lower federal budget spending on the reserves. Three other industry sources, who asked not to be named due to sensitivity of the issue, quoted the same reason for the difference between the ministry’s forecast and market estimates. “They (the Russian officials) were naive in an attempt to hold (up) global prices and thus support the profit margin of Russian farmers,” one of the sources said. The agriculture ministry has previously explained the difference between its forecasts and those from independent sources by the risk that some regions would be unable to harvest before cold weather sets in. According to sources, the second reason for the relatively late forecast upgrade was the way the process of obtaining crop harvesting data is handled. “The agriculture ministry is collecting data (with crop forecasts) from regions, and they are playing it safe because if they fail to reach the plan, it will be quite negative for them,” the third source said. Also, the agriculture ministry is seeking funds for the sector from the state budget, and “if you come with the record crop, why would you ask for money?” another source added. Farmers have already harvested 124 million tonnes of grain by bunker weight — before drying and cleaning — from 88 percent of the total area as of Sept. 29, ministry data showed. The dr ying process usually reduces the crop by five to six percent.

WEATHER

Lack of rain sends India’s rice, soybean yields down Improved irrigation helped offset lower precipitation NEW DELHI, India (Reuters) — Rainfall in India’s annual monsoon season was below average and less than forecast with some cropgrowing central and northern states receiving less rain than needed, the national weather office said in late September as the rainy season ended. Indian monsoon rains were 95 percent of the long-term average compared with the Indian meteorological department’s forecast of 98 percent, marking the fourth straight year in which the IMD has overestimated likely rainfall. The monsoon, which delivers about 70 percent of India’s annual rainfall, is critical for the farm sector, which accounts for about 15 percent of India’s $2 trillion economy and employs more than half of the country’s 1.3 billion people. India’s rainfall was below average mostly because of low rainfall in the oilseeds and pulsesgrowing central state of Madhya Pradesh and in the rice-growing northern states of Haryana and Punjab. While rice output is expected to be down two percent compared with last year due to better irrigation in the rain deficient northern states, soybean output could fall about eight percent, the government said. The IMD for the first time adopted the so-called dynamic model, based on a U.S. model tweaked for India, to improve the accuracy of its forecasts. IMD’s forecast for the 2017 monsoons was its most accurate since 2008, when there was a difference of only one percentage point between the forecast and the actual rainfall. The weather office was similarly accurate in 2011, when the difference was three percentage points.

Tiny satellites from Edge of the Planet Winnipeg’s Farmer’s Edge partners with San Francisco’s Planet to get a Dove’s eye view of the field BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A bird’s-eye view can provide intelligence about crop conditions that would otherwise be found only at harvest or by a combination of luck and labour. The problem is that in the past the birds didn’t fly every day. Canadian agronomy company Farmer’s Edge and San Francisco’s satellite imager Planet have joined forces to make new images available nearly every day. That might seem like overkill, but producers could find themselves making use of the high frequency imaging more than might be initially imagined. “It’s kind of addictive,” Wade Barnes, chief executive officer of Farmer’s Edge, said about getting near real time field imaging from above. “We were looking for a solution to this issue. “We used drones and satellite (images), but farmers need to be able to react more quickly to stress

issues in their crops. But first they have to know about it.” Aerial imaging forms the foundation of many precision farming systems. Producers can arrange for satellite views of their fields, but they might get a dozen or so images in the short prairie season.

WADE BARNES FARMER’S EDGE

Of those, some might have been shot on cloudy days, meaning no images. Alternatively, farmers can hire drone imaging or tackle the job themselves but then they need to also handle the resulting large,

geo-referenced data files and convert these into something useful. There are few players that will also take care of the conversions, and even fewer that will do it quickly. Planet is known for its constellation approach of mini-satellites. “We have 190 satellites working today, gathering about 200 million sq. kilometres (of data imaging) every day, 12 to 13 terabytes,” said Josh Alban of Planet. “We have the world’s largest automated pipeline to manage the processing of 800,000 images every day to look at and make sure they are right.” As well, the Rapid Eye satellite imaging that Farmer’s Edge was using has been acquired by Planet, which also recently bought Google’s Terra Bella and SkySat, a high-resolution video imaging operation. “We are now in the Google Cloud. We took some of their satellites and they took some our (data) storage,

management issues,” he said about the massive amounts of information the company is now managing. Barnes said w ith Rapid Eye alone “it really didn’t deliver on the reliable data (flow) we felt we needed. We have to be making a consistent offering to farmers (from) Saskatoon to New South Wales (Australia). “Every two the three days we can get an image and that is what it takes. On my own (Manitoba) farm, we have been getting an image every day for the past month.” Lyle Jensen of Nobleford, Alta., manages agronomy on about 30,000 acres and has been trialing the Farmers’ Edge product for the past few months. “I can’t get to every field every week. I need to be able to get a look and decide selectively where we need to get more information. Full section fields, or some three section fields can take all day to scout,” he said. “In 30 seconds I can call up a field

and start making decisions. I can’t get my drone out in 30 seconds.… I’m still using it for scouting, but that is all,” said the Alberta agrologist. Added Barnes: “(The) biggest problem with (satellite) imagery, once the farmer gets it, they want more. And then when we don’t have it, they get mad, and they get frustrated. They need it when they need it.” Alben said Planet chose Farmer’s Edge because “they want to be global, best in class and that is where we wanted to be (in agriculture).” Added Barnes: “(The) deal is longterm, multimillion-dollar in key agriculture markets … Canada and the United States (as well as much of South America, Australia, South Africa and the former Commonwealth of Independent States). If farmers want access to an (agronomy) platform with Planet, they will have to work through us. mike.raine@producer.com

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE attracting attention from older Concord owners and younger growers looking to upgrade their seeding iron. The packing wheel mounted on a hydraulically controlled parallel arm is the most obvious feature to catch a person’s attention, said Gene Breker, new market specialist for the Amity Concord Legacy. Breker was also highly involved with the original Concord until Case IH backed away from that product. Today, the company is partnered with Agco. “What we wanted to do this time around, two decades later, is build a machine similar to the original Concord but with precise depth control,” said Breker. “So what we have is this new drill we call the Concord Legacy. Each packing wheel controls the depth for that particular opener, so it follows the surface contour extremely well. Guys are running at five or six (m.p.h.), which is prudent, but we also have guys getting good seed placement all the way up to eight and nine m.p.h. That’s because our disc levellers do a pretty good job of capturing soil and levelling it out at those speeds.

WHO’S CRUSHING CANOLA AND GRAIN MARKETING? If they’re dancing up and down like piano keys, that means your pressure is too light. GENE BREKER AMITY CONCORD LEGACY

“It’s designed so the shank remains vertical regardless of what height you’re running or what conditions you’re running in. You can run coulters if you have a lot of trash, but that’s a matter of choice. And actually, you can run the same opener assembly you had on your original Concord.” The new design uses disc levellers to capture the soil coming off the shank and flow it back into the seed trench just before the packer arrives. Breker said this is why the operator can expect precise seed placement, uniform soil cover and packing at virtually any reasonable speed. Packing pressure is controlled from the cab. Dialling in the correct packing pressure is like watching piano keys on an old windup player piano. “Down pressure is totally relevant to your seeding conditions, and it’s easy to get it right. Look back at the arms. If they’re dancing up and down like piano keys, that means your pressure is too light. You have to dial it up a little at a time until they’re stable. Then you have the correct pressure. “Depth control is done manually with spacers on the hydraulic cylinders. You raise and lower the frame, just like the old Concord. You have different colour spacers that slide over the cylinder shafts. It’s very simple.” The drills will be marketed by the Agco-Amity Joint Venture with dealers across the three prairie provinces. ron.lyseng@producer.com

PHOSPHORUS, POTASSIUM, SULFUR

Fertilizing in the fall; part 2 PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR, PAg

ast week we looked at the 4Rs of nutrient management as they relate to fall nitrogen. This article will focus on “the others,” or phosphorus, potassium and sulfur. With regards to “right time,” phosphate, potash and sulfur are quite a bit less complicated than nitrogen. The good news is all three products can be applied in the fall. Phosphate can be effectively applied after harvest, but should be applied in a band. Generally, we have been removing more phosphate than we have been applying for years. We are constrained with the amount we can seed-place with crops such as canola, so a fall banding operation is an excellent opportunity to increase the amounts applied. Often a blend of urea and MAP or DAP are applied in a dual band. The right place can be more flexible when it comes to some of these macros. Potassium can also be effectively applied in the fall. Like phosphate, potassium is not subjected to loss mechanisms the way nitrogen is. In soils that have recommendations for potash, it can effectively be broadcasted in the fall. Often it is blended with a sulfur product or a stabilized nitrogen and broadcasted onto the field. Alternatively, it can be banded with urea and/or phosphate. Sul-

Phosphate, potash and sulfur can be added after harvest through broadcasting or banding. | fur can also be effectively applied in the fall. In fact, elemental sulfur is most effective when broadcasted in the fall. Ammonium sulfate is very versatile and can be broadcasted or banded alone or blended with other products. It is recommended that phosphate be banded. While it can be broadcast applied, research indicates it is only 25 to 35 percent as effective broadcasted versus banded. This is due to a tie-up of the nutrient as compared to a loss. The crop will eventually use this product, but we are looking at 10 to 20 years to get the benefit from a broadcast application. Dual banding nitrogen and phosphorus can be highly effective. Some studies have shown that this improves phosphate uptake as the roots concentrate in the nitrogen rich environment and there is an increased probability of root– phosphate interaction. One caution is that hot-bands may occur when more than 75 pounds per acre of nitrogen are applied with the phosphate. The centre of the bands has ammonium concentrations too high to allow for root survival. If you are applying phosphate in the fall, you might want to also apply 10 to 15 lb. with the seed to ensure your crop

gets off to a quick start. Potassium offers a variety of application options. Often it is blended with a sulfur product or a stabilized nitrogen product and broadcasted. Alternatively, it can be banded with urea and/or phosphate. In some soils, in some years, even when soil tests indicate adequate potassium levels, there have been shown to be a yield response to seed placing 25 lb. potassium oxide per acre. This response is most dramatic in barley, occurring at an economic level approximately one in 5 years. A less frequent response has been seen in wheat. If you see this response in your fields, continue with seed-placing some potassium with your cereals. Sulfur is also very flexible. Ammonium sulfate, 20 or 21-0-0-24, can be broadcasted or banded. Elemental sulfur, 0-0-95 or 0-0-90, or products such as Bio-Sul, 0-0-70, should be broadcast and left on the soil’s surface. Product source For much of the Canadian Prairies and the northern Great Plains, MAP is the only source of phosphate, although ammonium phosphate sulfate,16-20-0-15, is avail-

able in some markets. Both these products work well in a fall banding program. Ammonium poly-phosphate, 10-34-0, liquid can also be banded in the fall. DAP may be available in southern part of the northern plains markets. It too works well in a fall banding operation. With potash, we are looking at murate of potash, 0-0-60 or 0-0-62. These products work equally well as a fall applied product. As indicated above, we have a number of sulfur based products available including ammonium sulfate, 20 or 21-0-0-24, elemental sulfur, 0-0-95 or 0-0-90, or products such as Bio-Sul, 0-0-70, or co-formulated products such as ammonium phosphate sulfate, 16-20-015, Tiger 50, 12-0-0-50, or MES, 13-30-0-15. These products can be divided into two product groups: • Group 1 comprises products containing more than 50 percent of the sulfur in the ammonium sulfate form. These products will work equally as well banded, blended or broadcasted. • Group 2 products contain 50 percent or more of the sulfur as elemental sulfur. Elemental sulfur is totally unavailable to plants. Plants simply cannot absorb sulfur through the root

system. Elemental sulfur is inert and water insoluble. However, when farmers add it to the soil, it’s an entirely different matter. In the soil, sulfur converts to the plant-available, oxidized form and the rate at which this conversion takes place is the determining factor regarding the effectiveness of sulfur as a fertilizer source. The oxidation process takes place when the sulfur is in very fine particles. Most products will break down more quickly if broadcasted in the fall and allowed to weather on the soil’s surface during the winter. When determining the right rate, a more accurate picture comes from using production zones to guide soil testing. This takes into consideration the difference in productivity in your fields. For phosphorous, we have been seeing a steady reduction in phosphate levels in our soils. This is due to many years of crop removal being above the application rates. Fall application is a very good method of increasing application rates on crops where seed placed phosphorous is restricted. Thom Weir PAg is an agrologist with Farmer’s Edge.

nutrients for energy to produce milk and performance

Feed additive tested for ability to reduce methane BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A project to reduce methane emissions from cattle is starting this fall in southern Alberta. Feedlot cattle will receive a feed additive developed by the Dutch life sciences company Royal DSM to assess whether the product with the enzyme inhibitor 3 Nitrooxypropanol can reduce emissions. The company has been testing the product for nearly 10 years and in smaller trials learned it reduces gas from burps and increases feed efficiency. “It is a double whammy where you are losing less of the feed energy and converting it into muscle and milk,” said Karen Haugen-Kozyra, president of Viresco Solutions, an agricultural sustainability company in Alberta involved in the initiative,

called Project Clean Cow. Royal DSM found the product could reduce methane eruptions by more than 30 percent. It approached Viresco looking to expand the research because it knew Alberta funds these kinds of projects through Emissions Reduction Alberta. “They are interested in testing this in Alberta, given that we have a carbon price that is the highest anywhere at $30 a tonne for carbon credits,” said Haugen-Kozyra. The test feedlot has about 18,000 head on feed, and pens of animals will be designated for the research, making it one of the largest trials ever done. It should be completed by the end of 2018. “We are about to embark on a large-scale field trial that will demonstrate the field viability of feeding this compound in backgrounding

and finishing operations,” she said. The cattle will receive flaked corn, flaked barley and standard barley feedlot rations. Traits like animal performance, health and carcass quality will also be assessed to see if there is an effect from the additive. Agriculture Canada researcher Karen Beauchemin is part of the trial. She has already conducted research testing the efficacy of 3-nitrooxypropanol in reducing enteric methane emissions when

added to the diet of beef cattle. The study results, which were published in 2014, also looked at diet digestibility, rumen fermentation and rumen micro-organisms. The conclusion was that the product reduced emissions without affecting diet digestibility. Cows have complex stomachs full of micro-organisms that break down feed. As they work, rumen flora may produce methane that is released mostly as burps.

VETAVISION

Public gets insight on touchy feely bovine research Opening in stomach allows study of bacteria growth in cow’s digestive system BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

“It feels quite nice,” Nathan Grayston of Saskatoon said as he felt around inside Cinnamon’s rumen through a hole in the cow’s side. Standing on a foot stool, the nineyear-old held a warm and soggy clump of freshly chewed forage inside the second compartment of Cinnamon’s four-chambered stomach. Grayston was one of about 75 people who stood in line for the opportunity to reach inside a fistulated cow at Vetavision 2017 on the University of Saskatchewan campus Sept. 29. A fistula is an opening in the animal’s digestive tract that allows researchers to study bovine digestion.

As you move your hand along the lining of the rumen, you can feel how these little papilla in there help with the digestion process. GRAYSON ROSS VETERINARY MEDICINE STUDENT

“There was quite an array of emotions that you could see,” said Grayson Ross, 22, a second year student in the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, who was on hand to educate participants on how to palpate the cow’s rumen. “Some people were really gungho and excited to get their hand (and arm) in it,” Ross said. “There were some people who were quite nervous about it and grossed out about it.” The children’s enthusiasm for the event was a highlight for him. “You can hear kids talking in the background, ‘this is kind of cool. I think I want to be a vet when I’m older.’ That’s kind of neat to hear,” he said. Concerns about potential cow discomfort were common as people stepped up to take their turn. “It’s definitely not a painful experience for the cow by any means,” Ross said. “I’d probably liken it to sticking your tongue into the side of your cheek. It’s sort of a little bit of a pressure sensation.” Cinnamon and Spice are two “retired, 15-year-old pampered and spoiled” Red Angus and Simmental cows that have been outfitted with rubber fistulas for educational and research purposes at the college. Ross said a fistula allows students to test how different feeds influence the pH and bacterial growth

inside the cow’s rumen. It’s also a handy tool during transfaunation, a process in which researchers transplant bacteria and other microbes from a healthy cow’s rumen into another animal’s rumen to reboot its normal bacterial range. As the largest of the four stomach compartments, the rumen holds the bulk of what the cow eats. During Vetavision, that was a moist pile of masticated hay. “It’s a big fermentation vat where there’s a bunch of bacteria, protozoa and what-not that break down the plant material that she takes in,” said Ross. “You’re seeing a big mixture of stuff that she’s eaten there that’s gradually getting churned up. The rumen contracts and cycles, so it’s getting churned up and mixed constantly.” Participants could feel the digestive process in action, though each wore a protective sleeve on their arm while doing so. “You could feel the hay that she ate getting broken down in there,” Ross said. “As you move your hand along the lining of the rumen, you can feel how these little papilla in there help with the digestion process. “The rumen contracts about every minute to two minutes. If you kept your arm in there that long you could actually feel it contracting and mixing the food around.… I remember one little guy who felt that movement and his reaction was, ‘whoa.’ ” Ross said he urged participants to notice the cow’s natural body language. “Sometimes the cow may cough, and that movement of her chest and abdomen can cause some stuff to spray out of there (the fistula). So keep your mouth closed,” he said. “She got me when I was cleaning out some feed that she had taken in. I got a bit of splatter on the side of my face. All in a day’s work.” Vetavision is organized by veterinary students every second year. It is an opportunity to showcase the diversity of veterinary science, which this year attracted 2,500 people over two days. Other booths included poultry, hogs, sheep, goats, horses, dairy, dogs, llamas and falcons. However, the fistulated demo at the beef booth proved one of the most popular. “Vetavision is something I think a lot of schools look forward to, particularly the fistulated cow, because that’s probably the most hands-on kind of demo at Vetavision that they can get to do,” said Ross. william.dekay@producer.com

MULTIPLE INFECTIONS

Co-infections have major influence on infectious diseases ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

nimals are infected by more than one infectious agent at a time in natural settings. Thus, co-infections are the norm rather than the exception. However, since the scientific revolution that tied microscopic infections to disease — the “germtheory” of disease — most researchers have focused on one pathogen infection at time. This was a reasonable approach because it is challenging enough to understand how a single pathogen works to make animals sick. However, it also means that this simplified approach may overlook a key factor. There is growing evidence that multiple infections can have a profound impact on the dynamics of infectious diseases. When it comes to co-infection scenarios, we know the most about the interplay of nematode worms and microscopic organisms. Worms influence the immune system in ways that can affect the outcome of bacterial and viral

infections. They also change how animals respond to clinical diagnostic tests. Some researchers have even suggested that we consider worms as a normal part of an animal’s internal ecosystem, along with the beneficial bacteria and other microscopic organisms. Worm parasites may have played a crucial role as immune system regulators during the evolutionary process. In particular, worms dampen immune responses to viruses, bacteria and the body’s own cells. They do this by shifting the immune system from its reactive mode, which fights off bacteria and viruses while causing severe tissue damage, to the mode responsible for healing and tolerance. It is often the immune responses to viral and bacterial infections that lead to disease rather than the direct damage of the pathogen itself. When it comes to the body’s response to infection, the Goldilocks Principle applies. Too much or too little can be significantly harmful to animals; it needs to be just right. Worms seem to have this modulating effect. The growing knowledge about the interplay of worms and the immune system has contributed to another important disease theory, the so-called “hygiene hypothesis.” It poses that autoimmune diseases

Worms such as liver flukes can influence the immune system in animals but their exact role requires more research. | FILE PHOTO and allergies arise in humans and animals that are too “clean” and parasite free. Because most people, dogs and cats in developed countries are worm-free, the immune system can ramp up and even go overb o a r d . T h e s e o v e r- z e a l o u s immune reactions are thought to be major contributors to diseases such as canine atopy. In people, there is some evidence that intentional infections with gut worms can moderate autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and even multiple sclerosis. Treating horse, dog and

cat allergies with worm infections may not be far behind. In addition to immune system effects, worms can alter the reliability of disease diagnostic tests. Researchers at the University College in Dublin, Ireland, have investigated this problem by studying the relationship between liver fluke infections and bovine tuberculosis in cattle. Both fluke infections and bovine TB are major issues for cattle health in that country and around the world. A key discovery was that flukeinfected cattle had false negative

tests for TB. Cattle that should have “reacted” to the caudal fold test were negative, likely because of the presence of liver flukes. This effect was especially problematic when fluke infections were established before the TB exposure. A field study supported this result by confirming that fluke-infected cattle were less likely to test positive for TB. Overall, this result may mean that false negative results because of fluke infections could hamper TB eradication efforts. Further studies are needed to know whether treatment for flukes will help the reliability of TB tests in cattle. It would also be interesting to know how worms such as liver flukes affect disease outcomes and tests for Johne’s disease and other cattle pathogens. The advent of powerful computers to analyze complex data and molecular tools to diagnose previously unidentified pathogens has greatly advanced our understanding of co-infections in animals. A deeper understanding of coinfections may have important implications for animal health, and health programs should account for the complex interplay of coinfecting pathogens.

GLEN DUIZER MANITOBA VETERINARY OFFICER

Dr. Glen Duizer, Manitoba’s chief veterinary officer, said Oct. 5 that 78 operations had the deadly pig virus this year and 32 of those have moved to “transitional status,” meaning their pigs test negative for PED and the facilities are considered low risk for the virus. Manitoba’s cases are all in the southeast, which has 198 hog operations comprising 1.05 million animals. “We’ve been very good at keeping it in one geographic area.” Duizer said the virus spread in Manitoba mostly through direct animal movement. Of the 78 infected farms, 30 got the virus

when animals were moved for space reasons or as part of the production process from farrowing to feeding to finishing. “If there’s one take-home message, (it’s) that if there’s opportunities to have an effective limitation on movement or delay movement such that they can limit the spread of the disease, then it certainly would help dealing in an outbreak situation,” Duizer said. Staff and equipment may have spread the virus in some cases, and wind, birds and rodents might be the vectors in other cases, he added. Feed is not considered to be a source of the virus on the infected premises in Manitoba, though it is considered to be the culprit in Ontario cases found in 2014. PED was first found in Canada in January 2014, eight months after it had begun killing millions of piglets in the United States. Thirtynine states now have the virus in their hog operations, according to Alberta Agriculture veterinary epidemiologist Dr. Julia Keenliside. PED is considered endemic in the U.S., but Duizer said Manitoba plans to eradicate the virus within the province, just as Quebec and Prince Edward Island have done. The virus has not infected hog operations in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. barb.glen@producer.com

HOG HOUSING

Open housing requires new way of thinking Workers need to be properly trained on the social behaviour of hogs to manage the transition BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Two types of creature need to be trained and treated right in an open housing sow barn: pigs and people. Both have to behave differently in an open housing system, and getting that right will have a big impact on the success or struggles of an operation. “You’ve got to sift through it carefully and not assume it applies to all group situations,” Jennifer Brown, a pig behaviour expert from the Prairie Swine Centre, said at a seminar held in Winnipeg Sept. 11. She was talking specifically about the difference between managing sows in competitive and noncompetitive feeding situations, but the insight applied to most of what she said about the wide array of situations and choices that farmers face when switching from sow stalls to open housing. For instance, competitive and non-competitive feeding systems can have a different effect on mixed-size and uniform populations of sows. In some competitive situations, sows need to be of uniform size or the smaller ones will be bullied and seldom get access to food. However, in a non-competitive situation, smaller and bigger animals can often mix and will fight less because they will have less to sort out between each other since it’s obvious who’s bigger and smaller. It’s also important to think about the specific pigs that are being moved into new systems because all might not be able to make the transition well, Brown said. For instance, a sow that has spent a few parities in stalls might have trouble moving into open housing because of poor fitness or because it isn’t a “good citizen” that is able to mix easily with others. Pigs are unique animals that

can’t be thought of like other forms of livestock. They aren’t natural herd animals like cattle and seldom associate with more than a small group of relatives in nature. “In the wild, pigs generally avoid each other,” said Brown. “There is no mixing.” However, bigger groups can get along fine if carefully managed. In some ways, bigger groups can be more easily managed than smaller ones because they become less tribal. Little factions can become more fractious in some smaller groups because they can become more dominant than in big groups. “ Tw o s ma l l h o c k e y t e a m s ? They’ll fight it out,” said Brown. “People living in a city generally ignore each other.” All of these complexities mean that farmers, managers and workers need to understand the social situation of the sows they are managing. It means they can’t just be switched from operating a stall barn to an open housing barn without preparation, said Doug Richards of the Prairie Swine Centre. Owners and managers need to be careful about the kind of system they choose to adopt because that has a major impact on how they will have to operate. “Ask more questions about training before you buy the system,” Richards said. Having to catch up after a system is already installed and the pigs are in place “caused a lot of headaches for our producers,” he said about his time working with Ontario Agriculture. Understanding and managing pig behaviour requires a different set of skills, so it shouldn’t be taken lightly. “ Th e y d i d n ’ t g i v e t ra i n i n g enough thought,” Richards said about the farmers he has talked to about making the transition. ed.white@producer.com

Pigs are not natural herd animals and prefer small groups, so the switch to open housing will require new management skills for hog barn workers. | FILE PHOTO

LABOUR SHORTAGE

Wanted: ag sector workers The agri-food industry hopes to improve the perception of agriculture as a good career choice

TRANSPORTATION NAME

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The number of students attending agriculture schools in Canada is climbing, and a higher percentage of those students now come from urban areas. That’s great news for an industry that’s desperate for workers, but it’s not enough. There are more jobs in agri-food than there are Canadians qualified or willing to do those jobs. In Ontario, a survey of agri-food employers released in September found that there are four jobs for every graduate of the University of Guelph’s Ontario Agricultural College. Universities, industry and government are taking steps to deal with the labour shortfall, but more work is required to change public perceptions about agriculture and food, said Rene Van Acker, dean of the college. Van Acker faced the perception problem last month when he participated in media interviews about the labour shortage within Ontario’s agri-food sector. One television interviewer iden-

tified the U of Guelph as the largest farm college in Canada. “I was cringing a little bit…. I’m fine with the word ‘farm.’ but I’m not fine with the word ‘farm’ if it means that a potential, bright young student doesn’t consider us…. That concerns me,” Van Acker said. “The vast majority of our students, and I think that’s true of all agriculture and food programs in the country, go on to work outside the farmgate.” The Ontario survey found that firms are struggling to recruit workers: • Fifty-one percent of employers in the food industry and 67 percent in agriculture said they have difficulties finding recruits. • Fifty percent of food enterprises and 57 percent of ag employers said more than half of their positions require post secondary education. • Fo r t y - f o u r p e rc e nt o f f o o d employers and 56 percent of ag employers said they expect to increase their number of new hires in the next five years. T h e Ca na d i a n A g r i c u l t u ra l Human Resource Council has identified a massive gap between

the number of Canadians willing to work in agriculture and the number of available jobs. The gap, which was 59,200 in 2014, could grow to 113,800 by 2025 as a large number of older workers prepares to retire. Temporary foreign workers will continue to fill part of the gap, but many vacancies remain. CAHRC estimated in 2014 that 26,400 jobs in Canadian agriculture went unfilled. The human resource council has proposed a number of solutions to the shortage, such as improving access to foreign workers, altering training to meet employer needs and increasing awareness of opportunities in agriculture. The U of Guelph and other Canadian universities with ag programs are working to increase awareness and promote the opportunities, and student numbers suggest the efforts are paying off. “We have all seen increases in enrolment, but we all agree that it’s nowhere near enough,” Van Acker said. The U of Guelph has outreach programs, such as class workshops and on-campus experiences, to

recruit a larger number of urban high school students. “Our enrolment from urban postal codes has been on the increase for well over five years,” Van Acker said, adding city kids will have to fill the job void because that’s where Canadians now live. “It’s obvious that recruiting from traditional areas (rural Canada) is insufficient, given the demand.” Increasing enrolment at ag universities is a positive sign, but four jobs in Ontario for every OAG graduate is a stunning statistic and a difficult puzzle to solve. More money, energy and campaigns should be directed at the labour issue, Van Acker said. “There’s an awful lot of conversation about social license across the agriculture sector … and there are investments being made, in terms of having a voice around social license,” he said. “That is an important issue for growth in the sector, but equally and perhaps an even more important issue for growth in the sector is … the issue of highly competent employees.” robert.arnason@producer.com

TAX CHANGES

Unfair to describe tax proposal as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;closing loopholeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

he debate is certainly heating up over the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed tax changes with several observers jumping in on various sides of the argument. There is a fair amount of misinformation and misunderstanding surrounding the issue. To be fair, every year the government routinely issues numerous motions and budget items to alter tax legislation. Why the controversy now? Part of the issue is that the government sees a large source of revenue that could help finance massive spending programs and resulting debt. The Liberals have chosen to present this change as closing a loophole that provides unfair advantage to business owners over salaried employees. Many of the major television news networks have chosen to pick

FINANCIAL RESULTS

up the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spin word on the issue by describing business taking unfair advantage of a loophole. The word implies it was never an intended feature of the Tax Act and that it is being unfairly abused by the business community. This is untrue because the Tax Act has always acknowledged the increased risk taken by private businesses in order to generate additional employment and tax streams for government, hence the flexibility in taking income out of the business. Here is one example of how farm families will be affected by the change in legislation. First, the existing situation. Farmland owned by parents for

30 years is transferred to their 20-year-old daughter using the inter-generational rollover prior to July 18, 2017. The $1 million accrued capital gain applies, as does the $1 million capital gains exemption if the daughter decides to sell the land in three years. There is no requirement for the daughter to be in the business of farming to claim the exemption as long as her parents were in the farming business. T h e Ju l y 1 8 p ro p o s e d r u l e s change the game. The capital gain that accumulated on the land before the daughter turned 18 is not eligible for the exemption (28 years of ownership being 30 years total ownership less

the two years that the gain accrued after the daughter turned 18). The fact that the parents owned the land for 30 years of this 33-year ownership period (when the daughter sells) before the sale does not matter. This means that when the daughter goes to sell the land, she will be eligible only for $151,515 of the $1 million exemption. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the message here? â&#x20AC;˘ This completely reverses the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously stated policy of no taxation on intergenerational transfers. â&#x20AC;˘ A capital gains exemption is denied during the period when the child was not even born. This is only one example of the

potential unintended consequences of these tax changes. With one stroke of the pen the government can fix this by making intergenerational transfers an exception to this disappointing piece of legislation. Unfortunately, there are many other elements of this legislation that will make it far less appealing for new investors to buy the assets of longtime risk-takers, preventing the latter from enjoying a reasonable retirement payout for their husbandry of the business.

Corn, soy seed sales boost Monsanto profit CHIC AG O, Ill. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Monsanto reported a quarterly profit of US$20 million, compared with a year-ago loss of $191 million, as seed licensing deals in the typically low-revenue fourth quarter lifted sales. Monsanto shares have been trading in the $119-$120 range and have generally risen since April 2016 when the price was around $86.60. Sales of corn seed and traits, Monsantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest segment by revenue, rose nearly 16 percent, while soybean seed and traits sales climbed 22 percent in the quarter ended Aug. 31. Overall net sales rose 4.8 percent at $2.68 billion, above the tradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimates. Monsanto typically books most of its annual sales during the second and third quarters when farmers in North and South America, which account for more than three-quarters of total sales, buy seed and other crop inputs. The company is being acquired by Bayer AG, and investors remain focused on the $128 per share deal that is expected to close early next year. The deal, if final regulator y approvals were won, would create a company commanding more than a quarter of the world market for seeds and pesticides. The companies have made all key regulatory filings and secured approval from a third of those regulators, said chief executive officer Hugh Grant.
