Railways miss their own delivery targets A familiar script lies behind shipping woes BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There are many factors that can affect how quickly harvested grain moves from a remote farm location in Western Canada to an outbound ocean vessel on Canada’s West Coast. According to sources in the grain industry, the main factors behind this year’s shipment delays aren’t much different than usual — bad weather and bad industry guidance. In a recent conversation with The Western Producer, one prairie producer lamented the fact that railways often point to frigid temperatures and challenging winter conditions as the root cause behind reduced fluidity in the grain handling system. “ Using w inter as an excuse doesn’t cut it anymore,” said the farmer, who asked that his identity be protected. “That explanation is getting very old.” Like it or not, weather plays a significant role in determining how quickly things get done, both on the farm and in the grain supply chain.

Part of Travis Heide’s motivation for converting a large farm to organics is the fact that many people don’t believe it can be done. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO SEE MISSED TARGETS, PAGE 5

High price of crop inputs drives Saskatchewan farmer’s decision to convert to organic production BY ROBERT ARNASON WINNIPEG BUREAU

WALDRON, Sask. — There are 25 grain bins in Travis Heide’s farmyard, including six massive ones with a capacity of 70,000 bushels each. In total, the bins can store around 550,000 bu. of grain. That’s enough for 10,000 acres of spring wheat, assuming an average yield of 55 bu. per acre.

For most prairie farmers, 550,000 bu. of storage would be more than enough. Not for Heide. He has two other grain storage yards — one near Stockholm, Sask., and another by Whitewood, Sask. Heide needs a massive number of grain bins because he farms 40,000 acres of cropland in eastern Saskatchewan. Again, for most growers, that would be more than enough.

Not Heide. He’s converting all 40,000 acres to organic. “We’re half and half this year, between organic and conventional,” said Heide. “We’ll be 75 percent organic in 2019, and if we don’t add anything else, in 2020 we’ll be 100 percent organic.” SEE GOING ORGANIC, PAGE 4

DID YOU KNOW? • With 40,000 acres of cropland, Travis Heide of Waldron, Sask., likely has the largest organic farm in Canada. • In comparison, the entire province of Manitoba had about 50,000 acres of organic field crops in 2016.

It’s estimated that more than 155,000 Alberta energy wells have no economic potential and will eventually require reclamation. |

Orphan wells: Alberta’s $47 billion problem As energy sector companies fail, landowners wonder who’s on the hook for reclamation costs of wells and pipelines BY BARB GLEN

ALL IS NOT WELL

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TABER, Alta. — As farmers drove to the March 8 Action Surface Rights meeting, the news had just broken that Calgar y-based Sequoia Resources Corp. had ceased operations. Its demise, if it occurs, would add at least another 2,300 oil and gas wells and possibly as many as 4,000 to the list of energy infrastructure sites on Alberta farm and ranch land that will require reclamation. The trouble is that Sequoia, like many other energy companies that have entered receivership or gone bankrupt in recent years, cannot cover the cost of that reclamation. The Orphan Well Association, a non-profit organization funded by the energy industry and the province, can’t either. As of Feb. 28, it had 1,038 wells on its list for reclamation and a plan, using existing funds and a government loan of $235 million, to clean up about 700 wells in the next three years. It also has a list of more than 1,900 orphan wells on its list for abandonment or suspension, along with more than 3,600 pipeline segments. What of those, the newly abandoned energy assets, and others that might fall to economic ruin in coming years? Landowners — Alberta farmers and ranchers — could be left with the problem. Many are reluctant to discuss problems they’ve had with energy companies, fearing land devaluation in the case of orphan wells or contamination, or risk to future compensation from those companies if they go public. “It’s been my concern for many years, as an advocate for landowners and farmers, that diligence by government and the oil industry was required to ensure that farmers and ranchers don’t get left with the legacy problems of old oil and gas wells,” said Keith Wilson, a lawyer known for his work on property rights. He quoted a report by the C.D. Howe Institute that estimates more than 155,000 Alberta energy wells

have no economic potential and will eventually require reclamation. He also quoted Orphan Well Association figures that it costs an average of $304,448 to reclaim a well. That math leads to a big number: $47.19 billion in future reclamation costs. “Who has $46 billion right now to go deal with this problem? No one. Who’s likely to be left with the problem? You,” Wilson told landowners at the Taber meeting. “My real concern is that what’s going to end up happening is that the government and industry are going to say, ‘we just don’t have the money.’ The capital that existed and the profits that the oil companies made, that should have been put into cleaning up these wells on farmland, have fled, and left the country or been consumed by other things,” he said in a later interview. Daryl Bennett of My Landman Group, who is also a director with Action Surface Rights, has experience representing landowners in disputes involving resource companies. He said energy companies with more liabilities than assets are required to provide a deposit that is held by the Alberta Energy Regulator for use on well reclamation. Now the money on deposit is insufficient. “The cost to reclaim all these assets is now far higher than the value of those assets,” he said. A ruling from the Supreme Court of Canada on the Redwater case, expected this spring, could have a major effect on the situation, Bennett added. It will determine whether lenders

can sell off profitable assets from a bankrupt company and essentially renounce the rest. In the case of Redwater, that could put the cost of reclaiming unproductive energy assets onto the government and possibly landowners. If previous court rulings are upheld, it would essentially negate the “polluter pay” principle, said Bennett. Back at the local level, as energy companies go into bankruptcy or receivership, they stop paying landowners their annual rental fees. Landowners can apply to the Surface Rights Board for payment through the government, but the process is now backlogged with claims, Bennett said. In the meantime, the banker may be asking landowners for loan payments and lenders might impose lending restrictions due to environmental contamination of land. Wilson said the provincial government is well aware of the extent o f t h e o r p ha n w e l l p ro b l e m, though he speculated that it might be paralyzed by the magnitude. The general public, on the other hand, doesn’t understand that most oil and gas wells are on private property, nor do they realize that in Alberta, landowners cannot refuse to allow energy development. That unique law, said Wilson, came with a social contract balanc-

ing the rights of landowners with the rights of companies to develop the resource. In the early days of Alberta’s energy development, attitudes were different, he added. “The whole philosophy of government and the industry was that the oil and gas industry is a guest on farmers’ land, and that we have to behave that way.” Bennett stated it baldly. “The social contract is broken. What are we going to do about it? This never was supposed to happen. Government promised us that this would never happen.” Wilson said he and others involved in the issue had considered calling for a moratorium on new oil and gas development in the province as a way to sound the alarm. They decided against it, he said, noting landowners have benefitted from the energy industry and generally continue to support it as an important economic driver. However, landowners can take some action to prevent the problem of insolvent energy companies and lack of well site reclamation from worsening. “If an oil company approaches them for a new well site on their land they should object, to the Alberta Energy Regulator, to that well site

and they should demand that the Alberta Energy Regulator impose requirements on the oil company to protect the landowner so that if the company goes bankrupt, the landowner’s not left holding the bag, as they are today,” said Wilson. “I also strongly recommend, for some complex legal reasons, that landowners do not voluntarily sign surface leases or right of way agreements for pipelines. Instead, force the oil company to obtain a right of entry order from the Surface Rights Board because it will provide additional protections to landowners in the case of a problem in the future.” Wilson said there might be a window of opportunity in which big oil companies and farmers could seek solutions together. Big oil is frustrated with smaller companies that enter and exit the sector, exacerbating the orphan well problem. “There’s an opportunity for ag groups to reach out to the larger organizations in the oil industry and say, ‘how can we work together to solve some of these problems?’ And I think if there can be some movement there, and they go to government with some solutions, it will be an easy sell.” Provincial politics create another hurdle, both Wilson and Bennett said. The NDP government is pushing for pipelines to tidewater and is sensitive to any suggestions that it is hindering Alberta’s energy industry because of its importance to the economy. At the same time, it has adopted policies it says are designed to show greater environmental responsibility, among them a tax on carbon emissions. The United Conservative Party, the official opposition, is critical of policies that it deems to hinder the energy sector and is opposed to the carbon tax. The scenario doesn’t bode well for a solution regarding energy site abandonment and reclamation, which will be costly no matter how the expense is shared. barb.glen@producer.com

GOING ORGANIC » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 If all goes according to plan, Heide will have the largest organic farm in Canada and possibly in North America. “I have never heard of anything like that,” said Laura Telford, organic development specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. “That’s kind of out of the ballpark. The biggest one I’ve heard of before is maybe 20,000 (acres).” Telford and other players in Canada’s organic sector haven’t heard of Heide because he’s been quiet about his transition to organic. He’s created a company called Organics Canada Ltd. and will be producing a list of organic commodities, such as barley, oats, lentils, peas, wheat and hemp. The size of the operation is impressive and it’s more remarkable because Heide just started farming full-time in 2014. Heide, who’s in his late 30s, grew up on a farm near Moosomin, Sask., and is the oldest of four brothers. He was involved in the farm as a kid, and as a young adult he earned a business degree from the University of Saskatchewan. Like thousands of other young men and women from Saskatchewan, Heide moved to Calgary in the 2000s. He took a job with a commodity trading firm and then started his own grain trading company. Around 2007, Heide’s father wanted to retire and asked his sons if they wanted to take over the family farm. Heide and his siblings weren’t interested so his father ended up selling the farm. At that time, Heide was in his late 20s and he decided to travel to Africa. He was still interested in agriculture and helped start a farm in South Sudan. “I was really on a journey to see how I could help and serve people.” After returning to Canada, a family friend in Moosomin asked Heide to help with the harvest. He ran a combine for the neighbour in the fall of 2010. “That’s what really whet my appetite for farming,” Heide said. For the next couple of years he did custom combining in eastern Saskatchewan and managed a farm for a local group. Heide then met Robert Anjelic, a Calgary businessperson who runs Anjelic Land Inc. and now owns 203,000 acres of Saskatchewan farmland. “A realtor that Robert had bought some land with … gave my number to Robert,” Heide said. “He (Anjelic) had bought this land south of Whitewood and needed it broke, a good chunk of it was in pasture.” Heide agreed to do it and found people to help him. “We broke 17 quarters in (about) two and a half weeks.”

Anjelic recognized, immediately, that Heide is a hard worker. “He puts his nose to the grindstone,” he said. “He doesn’t give up until the job is done. That’s what impressed me.” Soon after that, Heide and Anjelic met at a Tim Hortons, where Anjelic asked Heide to manage farmland around Waldron and Whitewood. Heide agreed and in the spring of 2014 he seeded 7,000 acres of cropland with his brother, Garret. “We looked after machinery, people and all that,” Heide said. “He provided us the land and access to the inputs.” Anjelic bought another parcel of land around Stockholm, south of Waldron on Highway 9. That land was also in pasture and Heide decided to farm it organically because the previous owner hadn’t used pesticides or fertilizer. “That was kind of the beginning of the organic journey,” Heide said. Why organic? Heide grew up on a conventional farm and wasn’t opposed to pesticides, genetically modified crops and the other tools of modern agriculture. However, what he noticed upon returning to farming was the price of inputs. “Being away from it … I couldn’t believe the costs, how they had increased.” Since he was managing freshly broken pasture land on part of the farm, Heide soon realized that the economics of organic were better than conventional, especially when crops such as organic flax are selling for $37 per bu. “In organic, our costs were far lower, and because the value was up there, it just made sense,” he said. “Conventional doesn’t make sense unless you have the best land in the area.” The economics were right, but another important and more personal factor pushed the decision along. His wife, Amy, grew up on Vancouver Island in a family committed to local, organic food. Amy and Travis, who have three young girls, had many conversations about organic versus conventional after they began farming near Waldron. “I remember saying, ‘you can’t do it just because of money. You have to believe in it in order for it to work,’ ” Amy said. Heide didn’t say if that argument ever won him over, but he admitted that he now thinks differently about crop production. What’s more obvious is that he wants to accomplish something that others claim can’t be done. “There’s a whole bunch of status quos these days: you can’t start a

farm from scratch nowadays, you can’t do a large organic farm because there’s too much tillage.” Since beginning with 7,000 acres in 2014, the farm has rapidly expanded. Heide began buying land and Anjelic bought more property. Soon, they had accumulated 40,000 acres on three parcels at Waldron, Stockholm and Whitewood. “When we started with that 7,000 acres, it was never (the plan) that we’re going to grow a 40,000 acre organic farm. Never.” Last spring, Heide was considering keeping half of the farm in conventional because he was planning to grow canola and soybeans. However, managing a conventional-organic operation is not easy because equipment must be cleaned for organic certification. “We had done it the year before and it was a lot of work,” Heide said. “Last minute (we) decided to transition everything. We’re not fence sitters…. We kind of felt we had to go all in. If we’re going to do this, let’s dive right in.” Jumping in the deep end and managing 40,000 acres requires people. Heide, along with his brother, Garret, have about 15 full-time employees. Most of the employees are friends and acquaintances who moved to eastern Saskatchewan to work on the farm. “Initially, it was friends of mine from New Zealand,” Heide said. “It just kept on being more friends of friends. Lately we’ve got (a few) South African families helping us out. We’ve got a couple from Olds, Alta. … so we’ve really become a collection of families.” Some of the employees have experience with livestock, and Heide is considering adding cattle to the operation, mostly because livestock are critical for getting phosphorus to the soil. They may need 40,000 head of cattle to maintain soil fertility on 40,000 acres, Heide estimated. An organic farm with 40,000 acres, 15 or more employees and potentially 40,000 head of livestock is an incredibly complex operation. Nonetheless, Heide is committed to doing something big and meaningful. He envisions a future where some of his employees start their own organic farms, in other parts of Saskatchewan, and the Waldron operation becomes a hub to discover and develop best practices for organic production. “If I’m only creating opportunity for myself, then what’s the point?” Heide said. “If we can create opportunity for other people, create employment … that’s what we’re excited about.” robert.arnason@producer.com

MISSED TARGETS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Ca n a d i a n Pa c i f i c R a i l w ay reminded shippers of this fact in early March. “Recently we have experienced unprecedented cold — 60 percent colder, 78 percent more days below -25 C — and snow along with some significant outages,” CP said in a recent news release. “While extreme weather took its toll on the entire supply chain through much of February, CP’s network is now starting to recover,” it said. “Week 31 saw grain shipments increase by 16 percent week-overweek, and each day CP’s network is getting more fluid. CP also spotted nearly 50 percent more empties to the country in Week 31 compared to the week prior, a further sign of the incremental gains being made.” Industry guidance is another issue that can affect grain delivery opportunities, especially when guidance offered by rail companies deviates significantly from actual performance. “The most important factor is … the (actual) supply of cars compared to the guidance given by the railways,” said Quorum Corp. president Mark Hemmes, who oversees the federally commissioned Grain Monitoring Program. “That seems to go missing in the public discussions, but (it) is at the core of why the industry is so upset.” In a recent email to The Western

Producer, Hemmes provided a general explanation of how Canadian grain companies plan their sales and shipping programs. The foundation of every grain company’s plan is an accurate understanding of how many empty hopper cars they can realistically expect to receive, he said. “Grain companies will plan their sales programs on the basis of what their historical share has been of the total (rail car) allocation — everything moves forward from there,” Hemmes said. “Sales contracts are made with buyers, contracts are signed with shipping lines for vessels, and forward contracts with producers are established to support the sales made.” This year, car allocation plans — particularly on the Canadian National Railway network — fell well short of projections, even before winter weather became a significant factor. According to Hemmes, the whole of the system started to backlog in September “as CN fell behind in meeting their own guidance levels.” Scheduled grain deliveries in the country fell even further behind in late January and February, when winter conditions worsened and train movements slowed. The fact that CN failed to live up to its own car allocation projections is no secret. Earlier this month, CN announced the sudden resignation of its top executive, Luc Jobin.

An east-bound Canadian Pacific Railway train hauls oil east of Sheho, Sask., last week. Crude-by-rail shipments in Canada are to more than double by 2019, according to the International Energy Agency. The agency forecasts that crude-by-rail will grow from 150,000 barrels a day in late 2017 to 390,000 barrels a day in 2019 and will add to the pressure on grain movement from Western Canada. | ROBIN BOOKER PHOTO Jobin’s resignation coincided with a growing chorus of complaints from shippers in the Canadian grain industry. That was followed by a public apology from Jobin’s interim replacement, J.J. Ruest, who said the company will quickly improve the movement of western Canadian grain and is directing additional people and equipment to clear backlogs across its network. “We apologize for not meeting the expectations of our grain customers, nor our own high standards,” Ruest said in a March 7 news release. So how much did CN’s car allocation performance deviate from the company’s car allocation projections? That depends on who you speak to. Kate Fenske, CN’s manager of media relations, public and government affairs for Western Canada, said CN provided guidance of 5,500 hopper car placements per week for the first 17 weeks of the 2017-18 crop year, followed by 4,000 cars per week during the dead of the Western Canadian winter. “The weekly sustainable supply chain capacity, as it relates to the

deployment of CN’s common hopper fleet, is 5,500 cars (per) week,” Fenske wrote in a March 7 email. “This sustainable capacity reduces to an average 4,000 cars (per) week between grain weeks 18 (to) 35, on account of the lost throughput at Thunder Bay and normal winter operating conditions,” she continued. If winter is particularly mild and the supply chain is unusually fluid, as it was during the 2016-17 crop year, the rail component of the supply chain is able to exceed these levels and flow more grain through the system, she added. Fenske said total bulk grain movements on CN’s network as of late February was just four percent below the company’s previous three-year average. “Through this winter, we are averaging 3,973 (cars). In February, our average was 3,400 or about 85 percent of the 4,000 plan,” she said. During the first week of March, CN delivered 4,577 empty hopper cars, she added. That’s 35 percent more than the company’s weekly February average and 577 cars more than CN’s “winter maximum sustainable supply chain capacity.”

The most important factor is … the (actual) supply of cars compared to the guidance given by the railways. That seems to go missing in the public discussions, but (it) is at the core of why the industry is so upset. MARK HEMMES QUORUM CORP. PRESIDENT

The Grain Monitoring Program’s figures offer a different perspective. “Based on their own reports, between Week 7 and Week 20, there were only two weeks where CN actually supplied 5,500 cars,” Hemmes told The Western Producer. “And from Week 21 to Week 29 there was only one week where they supplied 4,000 cars.” Some observers also pointed to annual crop production estimates as another fly in the ointment. According to CP, initial estimates for western Canadian crop production were nearly 10 percent lower than actual production. Does that also qualify as poor industry guidance? “CP strategically plans each year for the upcoming crop, which this year was originally forecast around 65 million metric tonnes, but will end up being closer to 71 million metric tonnes, close to a 10 percent difference,” the company said. Collectively, the various partners in the Canadian grain supply chain need to answer some important questions: • For a Canadian grain industry that demands more space each year on a rail system that offers finite capacity, is it reasonable to expect more accuracy from annual crop production estimates? • For a Canadian rail industry that continues to report record revenues and profits each year, is it reasonable for shippers to expect that a certain percentage of grain freight revenues might be spent

Unfortunately, too many farm groups, along with the federal and some provincial governments, believe in the fallacy that reciprocal penalties between railways and grain companies will cure many of our problems. TERRY BOEHM FORMER NFU PRESIDENT

each year on expanding network capacity? • And for farmers who dream of a system that offers guaranteed delivery opportunities within an acceptable timeframe, is it reasonable to assume that the passage of Bill C-49 and the use of reciprocal monetary penalties between grain companies and railways will result in better delivery opportunities for farmers? Probably not, says the National Farmers Union. As the lowest cog in the prairie supply chain, grain farmers have little to gain from legislation that facilitates more detailed contracts between grain companies and railways, entities that already hold all the trump cards. “Unfortunately, too many farm groups, along with the federal and some provincial governments, believe in the fallacy that reciprocal penalties between railways and grain companies will cure many of our problems,” said Terry Boehm, a Saskatchewan grain farmer and former president of the NFU. “What we have in Bill C-49 is a set of tepid and harmful amendments to the Canada Transportation Act that refuse to recognize the real

power dynamics that exist in a system where most grain delivery points are captive to one railway or another.” “A system of reciprocal penalties for non-performance by grain companies and railways could prove useless for improving service or reducing costs for farmers,” added farmer Cam Goff of Hanley, Sask., also an NFU member. “Grain companies are unlikely to pass any savings on to farmers since costs they incur can be hidden in basis discounts on grain prices paid to farmers. “(In fact), rail service may even get worse since the railways may decide to schedule fewer car drops unless they are certain they can supply them.” brian.cross@producer.com FOR RELATED STORIES, SEE PAGE 13

Chinese corn shortage could cause rally Analysts believe demand is outstripping supply, which could deplete the country’s reserves and boost grain prices BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

China’s corn market has shifted from surplus to deficit, which is drawing down the government’s stockpile and could eventually lead to a sustained price rally for corn and other grains, say analysts. According to the Dim Sums web blog, futures markets analysts in China estimate there will be a supply-demand corn deficit of 48 million tonnes in China in 2017-18. “These analysts think China’s corn stockpile could be cut nearly in half from its 2016 peak after a further 60 million tonne sale of corn reserves this year,” stated the blog. The analysts attribute the large deficit to declining domestic production, reduced sorghum imports and an increase in industrial use of the grain. Arlan Suderman, chief commodities analyst with INTL FCStone, agrees with the assessment that demand is outstripping supply in China by nearly 50 million tonnes. The collapse of corn prices in 2016 spurred demand for the crop. “That’s why I’m friendly to the corn market long-term,” he said. “The only question is, what’s the size of the reserves and the quality of the reserves.” That will determine how quickly China’s deficit becomes a significant market factor, said Suderman. There is plenty of debate even within his own company about how long China will be able to offset the growing annual deficit with its own reserves. He believes the stockpile will run out sooner rather than later. However, China’s agriculture minister recently warned farmers not to “blindly” expand acres this spring because the government’s stockpile is still substantial and international prices are low.

While a corn deficit in China may eventually lead to a sustained grain price rally, this could be offset by Brazil and the Black Sea region bringing new land into production or pulling it out of wheat and into corn. | FILE PHOTO “To me, that’s the one thing that tends to hold me back and say, ‘wait a minute, maybe the reserves are bigger and they want to hold this rally off another year so that they can get rid of more of their reserve corn,’ ” said Suderman. Farmers are keen on planting corn because prices have been rising. But according to Dim Sums, the government will likely resume auctioning off its corn reserves later this month, relieving price pressure. Suderman said the rumour is that the government will sell its corn at the same price as last summer, which would be $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel below the current cash price in China. “That would suggest to us that the

quality of the reserves they are going to put out to auction are not good, which would be no surprise,” he said. Suderman said the mounting corn deficit in China will eventually lead to a rally in corn and other grain prices once the government’s stockpile is depleted or of such poor quality that it is useless. Soybeans have been buying acres around the world at the expense of corn. China’s deficit will eventually cause corn to fight back. He does not believe corn prices will rocket to $8 per bu. or anything near crazy levels like that because commodity booms like what happened in the 2000s only come around every 30 years or so.

And any rally could be tempered by Brazil and the Black Sea region bringing new land into production or pulling it out of wheat and into corn. China’s new 10 percent ethanol mandate will help bolster corn prices but it could have a negative impact on soybeans. According to China’s agriculture ministry, 64.8 million tonnes of the estimated 224 million tonnes of corn consumption in 2017-18 will be for industrial purposes. There is no slowdown in sight for that category of demand. Another 12 million tonnes of processing capacity will be added in 2018, according to Dim Sums. Suderman said much of the

industrial demand is due to all the additional ethanol processing required to meet the ambitious government mandate. Those plants will dramatically increase China’s production of distillers grains, which could displace soy meal demand that has been climbing exponentially. “That could flatten out significantly with all this additional DDG production coming online,” said Suderman. But that all depends on the quality of the reserve corn that would be used by the ethanol plants. If the corn is high in aflatoxin, the distillers grains would not be unusable for feed. sean.pratt@producer.com

Green lentil outlook bright, despite drop in prices for reds India’s increased pulse duties have hit red lentils hard, but the greens avoid the resulting price plunge BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There is no disputing that lentil acres are going to tumble in 2018 but not every type of lentil is headed for a decline, say analysts. Agriculture Canada forecasts lentil plantings will fall by a whopping 1.2 million acres, a 27 percent drop. Brian Clancey, analyst with Stat Publishing, believes all of the lentil decline will be reds with greens holding their own. “Green lentils are outperforming reds by a long shot,” he said. Large green lentils were selling for double the price of reds last week.

They have largely been isolated from the market madness caused by India’s punitive import duties on peas, lentils and chickpeas. “India is not an important destination for green lentils. If India is not there, green lentils don’t suffer,” said Clancey. India can be in and out of the green lentil market depending on what is happening to pigeon pea prices in that country. Some Indian millers use green lentils as a substitute for pigeon peas. But while red lentil exports are highly dependent on India, green lentils have alternative markets in Latin America, Europe, the Middle

East and North Africa. Marlene Boersch, managing partner with Mercantile Consulting Venture, is another analyst who believes green lentil acres will remain static. Bulk lentil shipments are down 450,000 tonnes for the first half of 2017-18 compared to the same period a year ago but the decrease is made up entirely of reds. Boersch said large green lentils are one of the few crops that can provide growers with positive net returns per acre in 2018, which will likely entice some Canadian red lentil growers to shift into greens. “We also note that the lentil acre-

age in the United States is set to fall, likely significantly,” she said in a recent article she wrote for Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ Pulse Market Report. “This will reduce competition to Canadian green lentils.” U.S. growers harvested 339,381 tonnes of green lentils last year, a 41 percent drop from the previous year despite planting 18 percent more acres of the crop. U.S. farmers mainly grow green lentils. Drought devastated production in Montana and North Dakota. Average yields were half what they were the year before, which was an exceptional crop.

On top of production problems, U.S. exports have been poor as Canada has recaptured markets it lost to the U.S. in 2016-17 due to the poor quality of that year’s harvest. “Their export demand has come off a fair amount. They’re just not having a good year,” said Clancey. T h a t i s w hy h e a g re e s w i t h Boersch that acres will be down in the U.S. in 2018, but with average yields, they could easily produce a similar-sized crop. Canada and the U.S. are the world’s top two exporters of green lentils. sean.pratt@producer.com

Consider canola pricing, with all that is going on Despite bin-busting stocks in most everything, there is still room for a market BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Opportunities to price this fall’s canola crop will come and go all year, but locking in larger portions at a reasonable margin might be a little tougher find later than they are today. The two-month increase in canola that took November futures from the $495 per tonne mark to the $520 range last week, and returned them again on March 16 and 19, was built on a soft dollar and recent soy oil prices. But, like everything else in this supply-rich environment, the current pricing opportunity hinges on weather someplace in the world. “Meal is doing the heavy lifting for canola right now. While meal doesn’t pay all the bills (with canola), it does pay the freight. Provided you can get (rail) cars,” said markets analyst Bruce Burnett of MarketsFarm, a Glacier Media company, also owner of The Western Producer. Argentina’s crop has been under heat and drought pressure for most of its season and, combined with the country’s tariff programing, that country will be processing every available pound of soybeans it produces. The result has the market speculating that soy oil might be a little short, and canola meal has been the beneficiary.

A Canadian dollar that remains soft has helped support the price, falling below last June’s 77 cents U.S., and headed lower on March 19, losing about a third of a cent from the pre-weekend close on March 16. American Federal Reserve news this week is expected to announce a 0.25 percent rise in interest rates, further strengthening the U.S. dollar and keeping the loonie under pressure to go lower. Burnett said he feels “fair value for the (Canadian) dollar might be

in the 74 to 76 cent (U.S.) area.” The combination of a low dollar and what might be a temporary weather market related to Argentina’s low yields could be creating a good time for producers to consider pricing some of their canola, he said. “You can’t always get $11 (per bushel) canola when you want it. So, penciling in a profit in a year with a lot of other uncertainty out there and otherwise strong supplies can be a good decision on the farm,” said the market analyst. Analysts point out the more

unpredictable-than-usual nature of the international markets due to a potential trade fight between the U.S. and China, as well as the European Union, adds one more variable to any marketing plan for the coming crop. On March 16, the European Commission let the U.S. administration know which products might be in its sights for retaliatory tariffs in response to American steel and aluminum import tariffs. So far corn, wheat and soybean products were not on the list.

The spring run up in the crop commodity markets, ahead of South America’s crop being in the bag, has created additional optimism among producers and that appears to translating into a shift in American planting intentions, say some analysts. Burnett feels that while Argentine soybeans have been making headlines, the real story might be its corn. Export tariffs have been reduced on its corn and wheat, so the country will likely wring every ounce of oil from its soybeans domestically and ship out the cereals for hard currency. The drought has badly damaged the corn crop and that could create some opportunities or at the least some optimism in American producers. Should those growers go to the field early this spring, and if corn prices remain close to where they are, an anticipated drop in American acres, such as the one outlined in the USDA Outlook of two weeks ago, and corresponding rise in soybean plantings, might not take place. “We are still talking about some very large supplies and carry-out stocks, but the picture could be a bit different than many people imagine it right now,” said Burnett. mike.raine@producer.com

Rain comes too late, but markets still fall U.S., Argentine precipitation won’t save crops BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Weather sent the markets tumbling earlier this week, but down on the farms it came too late for real change. Dry conditions persisted throughout most of the growing season in Argentina, setting in motion a cascade of events that some late-growing season showers wouldn’t fix. Winter wheat acres in the American Plains also saw some moisture as showers in the south and flurries in the north. Apparently the markets hadn’t fully built that into their plans because some commodities took five percent haircuts March 19. Concentrated on soybeans, soymeal and wheat, the markets began slashing at recent strengths, leaving soy oil to remain flat, retaining crusher margins and with it providing some strength for declining canola futures. American corn kept up its strong export pace, and that softened the Monday blues, off only two percent in Chicago futures. “Weather is still making news out there,” said Bruce Burnett of Gla-

cier MarketsFarm. “It wasn’t all built into the price yet.” DTN forecasts show the potential for more precipitation before early next week, including the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri as well as the eastern corn region. Winter wheat crops have already broken dormancy in the southern Plains but had limited water resources. The central Plains were hit at the end of the first week of March with high winds up to 120 km-h in Kansas and Nebraska. Temperatures soared to 30 C at Russell, Kan., creating more problems for crops coming out of dorma n c y . By t h e t i m e s h ow e r s arrived last weekend, conditions of the winter cereal were 52 percent poor to very poor in much of the region, according to the USDA’s weekly bulletin. Rain fell across most of Argentina over last weekend. Despite not being able to improve yields, oilseed futures generally were hurt by the news. “It will help them plant a winter crop and rain is rain in farming,” said Burnett.

Farmers who eye canola rally should consider price protection

Russian opportunities in Asia open to debate MARKET WATCH

HEDGE ROW

D’ARCE McMILLAN ED WHITE

armers have been given a gift for this last little bit of pre-seeding. They’ve also been handed a chance for fresh risk, if they’re that sort of guy. It all comes from the canola market rallying about 50 cents a bushel since midwinter, especially in terms of profitability. It comes from a nice little follow-on rally that has been inspired by soybeans, which is benefitting from strong meal demand and crop conditions in Argentina. That’s a profitability that can be locked in for 2018-19, which is attractive to risk-conscious farmers. However, it adds new risk to the market too, if these higher prices push enough farmers to throw extra acres into canola, especially if that canola is unpriced. Some farmers stick with their rotations no matter what, but some are willing to move crops in and out based on their profitability potential, and this recent rally will definitely entice a few to grow canola to the max this spring. Some farmers employ the infamous canola-snow-canola rotation, and that phenomenon also isn’t weakened by the recent canola price strength. If these higher prices last a few more weeks and a couple of hundred thousand extra acres of canola go in, it doesn’t help the supply and demand situation any. That’s why all the advisers I’ve spoken with are encouraging farmers to take some price protection on new crop canola while prices are still solid. “Certainly if you’re thinking of canola because you like the price, that’s all the more reason to look at some hedges and some protection,” David Derwin of P.I. Financial in Winnipeg told me. “At harvest I’m sure the price won’t be at this level. It could go higher, but if you don’t protect it and it goes $50 (per tonne) lower at harvest, you’ll be kicking yourself.” Neil Townsend of FarmLink Marketing said the upside might not be too great, not just because there’s already a risk premium in today’s prices that accounts for some of the worry about Argenti-

na and dry Western Canadian conditions, but also because farmers seem to hit the market with sales whenever $12 per bushel prices appear. Grain companies and crushers don’t need to chase prices much higher. “When they go to buy it at $12, they don’t seem to be having trouble,” said Townsend about current prices. Bruce Burnett of Glacier MarketsFarm said today’s prices aren’t unreasonable, considering the various production risks out there, but normal weather this summer won’t be enough to support prices alone. “As long as North American weather is good this growing season, prices will likely move lower

(all other things being equal),” Burnett said. Much of this recent rally has been due to the weakening Canadian dollar. Soybeans have soared because of meal demand, but meal is a much smaller part of canola demand than it is for soybeans. Vegetable oil prices are flat, so canola has been able to enjoy a modest rally at a time when there’s not too much fundamental support for it. That’s a gift for new crop sales and well worth considering. Some will use this to take some market risk off the table, while others might use it to raise the stakes. ed.white@producer.com

arly projections call for another year of big crops in Russia and Ukraine. Coupled with large carry-in stocks, the grain available for export could rival the record smashing amount moving in the current crop year. Much has been written about the region’s growing dominance in global wheat trade, but the head of U.S. Wheat Associates thinks the breakneck competition for Asian markets might soon plateau and lessen in the future. Wheat Associates president Vince Peterson, speaking at a grain conference in Australia in January, said three factors could cause exporters from Russia and Ukraine to focus more on their immediate nearby markets than on distant customers in Asia. This view seems to clash with all the talk about China’s massive investment in the One Belt, One Road initiative pouring billions into transportation infrastructure more closely linking China to Russia, Europe, South Asia and Africa. With improved ports and railway lines, the assumption is that Russian, Ukraine and Kazakhstan grain and other goods could penetrate China and other parts of Asia more easily. However, Peterson thinks it will be hard for Black Sea wheat to continue to expand exports into Asia. His argument might be wistful thinking, but there is some logic to what he says. First, he notes, the current buildup of exportable wheat surplus is the result of an unusual string of five years of near ideal weather conditions following the 2012 drought rather than sustainable yield increases. Production practices are improving in Russia, but crop yields still lag levels common in other parts of the world. The ideal weather is unlikely to continue forever, and when problems do occur, wheat exports will likely have to be scaled back. Second, as farm operators in the region become more sophisticated, they will start to shift acres out of wheat and into crops with the potential for better returns, such as soybeans and corn, he said. Russia already has a goal of raising soybean production so as to elimi-

nate its current imports. Ukraine is already a formidable corn exporter, fourth after number three Argentina, and by 2028, the U.S. Department of Agriculture expects Ukraine and Russia together will surpass Argentina to become the number three world exporter of corn. Peterson’s third argument is that rapid population growth and increasing wheat demand in nearby markets and rising ocean shipping costs will make it more lucrative for Black Sea exporters to focus on the market in their backyard rather than distant Asia. His argument appears to be backed up by USDA long-term projections. Over the next 10 years, it sees 57 percent of the total increase in world wheat demand, or about 17 million tonnes, happening in Africa, including Egypt, and in the Middle East, regions in close proximity to Black Sea shippers. If Peterson is right, North American and Australian wheat exporters can take heart that the Black Sea giant might not be unbeatable everywhere in the world. Canada, Australia and the United States should remain competitive in important markets such as Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and who knows, maybe even China someday, once it uses up its huge wheat surplus stocks. Peterson also noted his frustration that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration missed an enormous opportunity to be part of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. While we gaze into the crystal ball to define the future of grain export opportunities for the former Soviet countries, we should also note that Russian agriculture is not necessarily limited to the western half of the country near the Black Sea. Chinese investors are putting money into agricultural ventures in Russia’s Far East federal district. The region is sparsely populated and under developed but has large tracts of arable land. Heilongjiang province in China’s northeast is the country’s largest grain producer, particularly corn and soybeans. It shares a border with the Far East federal district. The climate and land are similar on either side of the border. China and Russia are just starting to make major infrastructure investments in bridges, rails, roads and ports to link the two regions. For now, the agricultural opportunities in the region are mostly speculative, but who knows what the future could hold? Contact D’Arce McMillan by emailing newsroom@producer.com.

CANFAX REPORT FED MARKET STEADY Alberta direct cattle sales got off to a sluggish start last week, but prices averaged fully steady with the previous week. Most sales were dressed from $276-$278 per hundredweight delivered. Canadian steer carcass weights for the week ending March 10 surged 13 pounds larger than the previous week to 917 lb. but were four lb. lighter than a year ago. Western Canadian fed slaughter for the week ending March 10 was eight percent smaller than the previous week at 32,889 head. Year to date western fed slaughter is nine percent larger, totalling 302,112 head. Canadian fed cattle exports to the U.S. for the week ending March 3 totalled 4,240 head and year to date are down 18 percent at 40,648 head. Last week, the Canadian dollar slipped below 77 cents for the first time since June 2017. A weak Canadian dollar moving forward should continue to encourage U.S. buying interest. Fed carcass weights were larger last week, but seasonally weights should begin to trend smaller. Yearling supplies are beginning to tighten and significant fed calf volumes are not anticipated until late April. U.S. fed supplies are expected to trend larger and current supportive U.S. fed prices are expected to ease lower. Spring beef demand should continue to improve. In the U.S., moderate trade developed last week with live sales steady to US$1 higher than the previous week in the south at $126$127. Live trade in the north was steady to $2 higher from $128-$129 and dressed sales were steady to $3 higher from $205-$207 delivered. Steer carcass weights for the week ending March 3 trended sideways at 883 lb. and are seven lb. heavier than the same week last year. Feeder placements indicate larger marketready supplies are anticipated.

heavier feeders looked another couple dollars softer. A lot of backgrounding calves bought in fall had break-evens in the $185-$190 area, based at 850 lb. With 800-900 lb. steers averaging in the mid $170s, losses on these backgrounded feeders are more than $100 per head. Even though margins are not great, producers have been willing to sell a portion of their inventory. With 850 lb. feeder basis levels at the weakest level since July, some of these calves bought for backgrounding will be retained and taken to finish.

That was the largest weekly volume seen for the middle of March since 2008. With barley and forage prices ticking higher, there has been additional pressure to market speculative purchased cows. Even though cow carcass weights are 15 lb. larger than last year, it appears cows are being marketed in a timely fashion because D4 grade cows are down eight percent in Western Canada. So far this year, 63 percent of the bulls marketed in Canada were sold for export to the U.S. With nonfed prices picking up in the U.S., western Canadian bull prices have moved higher as well.

Assuming fewer lighter cattle are put on feed this spring and export volumes continue to rise, this should bode well for

the fourth quarter fed cattle market. Looking at the cash market, it was a tough week for the feeder market as 800 lb. and larger steers and heifers established new lows. From their highs in January, 850 lb. steers have dropped seven percent. From January highs to first quarter lows, the average decline over the past five years stands at around 10 percent.

OPINION

Farmers justified to expect full access to equipment

arm equipment has grown in complexity, along with the tasks that are asked of it. Manufacturers have developed better tools with each generation: some innovative, some adding capacity, some improving sustainability, but all of them using technologies that are more difficult to diagnose, maintain and modify than those that came before. Many farm machinery builders took a position, in parallel to other equipment and technology providers, that their research-driven or purchased software or complex electronics technologies should remain their own, something for licensing at most and certainly not to be shared with machinery buyers or unaffiliated repairers. Much of the history of farming has been built on producer innovations developed using the knowledge that has accumulated in their tools. Machine lives have been extended and made more cost effective by farmers often handling maintenance and repairs. But now their machinery hides many of its strengths, preventing farmers from modifying or fixing it themselves. Software is not easily unwound from the machinery systems it operates, and in some cases it is encrypted, making it impossible. And while the needs of machinery companies to maintain the value of their technologies might seem apparent, could it be they may have over-protected it? Manufacturers loudly say modifications or repairs could lead to unsafe operations, poor machine performance, removal of emissions controls and a lack transparency when it comes to the modified situation at resale — and, of course, void the warranties. After a few seasons, that claim subsides, along with the coverage, leaving expensive, high-capacity equipment with what should still be thousands of hours of use-

ful value to farmers. Equipment manufacturers might have underestimated the abilities of producers to deal with the technology. Many farmers have an honest desire to customize the tools to meet their own needs. Prairie farmers have long known and shown that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to equipment and have been prepared to act on it. Producers, facing large bills from dealers’ shops, delays in repair times and feelings of being held hostage to a lack of information, have legitimate claims on access to the workings of very expensive equipment. Farmers are part of a larger movement to take control of their technology, and it makes sense for them to do so. Unlike consumers who are leading the right-torepair crusade in the United States, lobbying to get access to the guts of their cellular phones and automotive black boxes, farmers have more money in the game, and their place inside the right-to-repair movement is justified. Reducing the complexity of machinery design might not yield the harvest of features that farmers or environmental regulators are looking for, but a compromise of offering the agricultural industry access to all the parts of the machines they have paid for would add value to the business as a whole. Recent moves through the Association of Equipment Manufacturers to provide farmers with access to loaned shop diagnostic tools and expanded shop manuals is a good start, but unless it goes further, the lobbying for fully open-source technologies will likely continue and potentially bear fruit in U.S. legislatures.

Senate urges more encouragement for young farmers CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

anadian farmland must be kept in the hands of farmers, a new report from the Senate agriculture and forestry committee argues, with particular attention needed to ensure young farmers continue to have access to farmland. T h e c o m m i t t e e ’s 4 0 - p a g e report, called A Growing Concern: How to keep farmland in the hands of Canadian farmers, comes after more than two years of study that included testimony from about 60 witnesses from around the world. The committee

was prompted to study the issue of farmland after the concern was raised by stakeholders during other studies. “The family farm has been the backbone of rural Canada for generations,” the report notes. It was tabled quietly in mid-March and includes five overarching recommendations. They include asking the Department of Finance to increase the lifetime capital gains exemption for qualified farm property, better data collection, soil mapping, data sharing and co-operation between provinces. The lifetime capital gains exemption for qualified farmland, currently set at $1 million, is inadequate given the steady increase in farmland value and the size of farms today, Prince Edward Island Senator Diane Griffin said in a March 19 interview. She did not say what that increase should be.

In 2015, the average price of Canadian farmland increased nationally by 10 percent. Ontario has the most expensive farmland in the country, at up to $10,000 per acre on average. Saskatchewan had the cheapest at $1,200 per acre. Increasing the capital gains exemption would also help young farmers “trying to get into the business,” Griffin said. The high cost of farming was flagged several times in the report, with senators and witnesses arguing it “creates a barrier to young or new farmers.” The average farmer in Canada is 54 years old. As such “the aging farm population means support for young farmers is needed to maintain the sector’s activities,” the report said. Many young farmers today rent farmland because buying it is cost prohibitive, the Senate noted. The area of rented farmland as a percentage of total farmland in Canada increased to 27 percent in

2011 from two percent in 1986, according to Statistics Canada. That increase has producers worried, the report said, noting “this type of ownership makes farmers employees rather than owners and exposes them to additional risks because of rising rents.” Finding ways to support young farmers is an ongoing challenge that industry and governments have grappled with for years. Some financial institutions, including Farm Credit Canada, have developed special loan programs aimed at young producers looking to get into the business. As well, many farm groups have created mentorship programs designed to help young producers. In November 2010, the House of Commons agriculture committee studied the hurdles young farmers face and urged the federal government to make it easier for young producers. At the heart of that report, MPs found that the future of agricul-

ture depended on the industry’s profitability. As one young farmer told the committee at the time, “I don’t see many young farmers wanting to get into a business that you have to spend money to make none.” Today, the sector’s profitability remains a critical concern. “A lack of competitiveness hurts farmers’ incomes, which could lead them to quit farming or abandon land that is suitable for agriculture,” the report reads. In the past, poor economics and an infrastructure deficit has led to farmland being abandoned, the Senate was told. That land is now mostly forested and difficult to reclaim.

Bill C-49 helps railways farm farmers BY KEN LARSEN

ere we go again. Some prairie farmers cannot ship their grain while grain companies and their friends blame the railways for not getting the grain to port. After months of railway lobbying, the federal government is pushing new transportation legislation, claiming that Bill C-49 will punish the railways for neglecting grain shipments. Yet this legislation effectively deregulates those railways. If you believe the grain companies and their friends in the Ag Transport Coalition, grain is not getting to port because the railways are ignoring rail car orders. Yet, the more grain the railways haul, the more money they make, so this claim does not meet the smell test. The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) and the independent grain monitor, Quorum Corp., are objective sources of measuring grain movement. Every December the CTA audits the railways and looks at how much export grain they move annually. As of Dec 31, 2017, the railways moved 43.2 million tonnes of grain to port, up 6.9 percent compared to 2016, more grain than ever. On March 6, Quorum reported, “year to date western Canadian shipments from port terminal elevators at Week 30 are five percent lower than the same period last year and one percent lower than the five-year average.” One percent less still represents a lot of tonnage, however. If we remember that India imposed high tariffs on Canadian pulse exports, it is no surprise overall shipments are slightly lower.

The National Farmers Union argues that without the Canadian Wheat Board, the grain companies are in a “no lose” game with prairie farmers captive to their delivery points. They use their local monopolies to maximize their own profits while blaming the railways and charging farmers basis for any extra costs they might incur. | FILE PHOTO The numbers show the railways are doing a good job of moving grain to port. If the system is indeed delivering enough grain to port, we must conclude that grain companies are ordering cars based on priorities other than meeting local farmer requirements. Grain companies can use local car shortages as an excuse to pay farmers less for their grain. They get away with it because almost

two-thirds of prairie delivery points are served by just one grain company, making farmers captive to the company at the closest delivery point. Elevator agents can tell farmers that prices are down because railways are not moving grain, but then offer to buy the farmer’s grain if he or she is willing to accept a higher basis, i.e. a greater price spread between what is offered at inland terminals and the coast.

Dazzled by the pseudo-economic term “basis,” the farmer sells for less and the grain company pockets the difference. When the farmer-controlled Canadian Wheat Board was responsible for selling grain, it optimized the system to return the maximum amount of money to farmers and organized grain shipments to maximize the shipping capacity of the overall system. The extra money was passed back to farmers. Without the CWB, the grain companies use their local monopolies to maximize their own profits while blaming the railways. By accepting the blame for plugged elevators, railways position themselves to lobby for further deregulation. Bill C-49’s amendments to the transportation act create large loopholes for railways, and grain companies will not likely choose to offend the railways with reciprocal penalties or court cases, when they can take expenses out of farmers’ grain cheques, especially when 90 percent of prairie delivery points are serviced by just one railway. Instead of deregulating the railways via Bill C-49, the government should clip grain companies’ market power over farmers through regulation. Since the CWB was killed, grain companies are smiling all the way to the bank and the amended transportation act will soon let the railways join them, unless the Senate provides sober second thought.

More fertilizer price info would be welcome HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ccording to the farm input price survey published monthly by Alberta Agriculture, the average price of full service anhydrous fertilizer (82-0-0) increased from roughly $782 a tonne in January to $818 in February. Phosphate prices (11-51-0) also increased, going from about $701 to $725 per tonne. Somewhat surprisingly, urea prices (46-0-0) continued their three month decline, slipping to around $466 a tonne, down about $5 from January to February. I find fertilizer price trends very interesting and often point to them when speaking to various groups. As far as I know, this is the only regu-

lar retail price information available on fertilizer in Western Canada. The price graphs on the Alberta Ag website go back five years and show that there’s usually price savings and often big price savings from buying fertilizer, particularly nitrogen, well before spring seeding. This winter has been an anomaly for its lack of price appreciation on urea. The Alberta Agriculture survey includes a wide array of products — farm diesel, building supplies, seed, crop protection products and even machinery costs. While those are interesting, I don’t find them very useful for purchasing decisions. To view the survey information, just search “Alberta Agriculture farm input prices.” Surprisingly, this long running service does not seem to be well known or highly used. The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan is collecting farmer opinions to see if a farm input price survey would be useful for Saskatchewan farmers. When asked, producers are likely to say that farm input price information would be welcome. How-

ever, it’s important to realize the shortcomings of any price survey. In the Alberta case, the information has a significant time lag. February prices weren’t available until mid-March. You’re looking at history rather than where prices may be in a fast-moving market. It’s also reasonable to expect regional variability plus the variability that will exist from one supplier to the next. Could Saskatchewan farmers just look at the Alberta survey to get a sense of the trends or would a Saskatchewan survey provide additional information? On crop protection products, the same chemistries are typically available under numerous brand names. How can that be reflected in a survey? Plus, purchases tend to be seasonal. The same problems exist with seed prices. Certified barley, canola and wheat seed will see the price vary by variety. Does an average price really tell you much? The Alberta Ag information shows that the average price of a new four-wheel drive tractor in

the 325 to 375 horsepower range has gone from around $275,000 five years ago to around $385,000 last month. Similar price increases are noted in the combine and air drill examples. Interesting, but how can producers use that information, particularly if they’re looking for a different size of unit and probably a specific model? As well, there’s no information on the cost of used equipment. In the end, if organizations like APAS want to generate more farm input cost information, fertilizer might be the best emphasis. It’s a major input cost subject to wide price swings, and producers are interested in the price direction throughout the entire year. You don’t buy a new tractor every year. Diesel and gasoline prices are pretty transparent. The biggest knowledge gap to address with a survey is probably fertilizer. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

WP journalists recognized with awards EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

he Western Producer’s journalists were recognized in six of the eight awards categories presented by the North American Agricultural Journalists last week in Washington D.C. The NAAJ is a continent-wide organization that aims to “promote the highest ideals of journalism and agriculture.” Judges of the 2018 awards are seasoned veterans in agricultural writing. Reporter Ed White from Winnipeg once again earned top spot in the columnists category, which encourages writers to “express personal observations, humour or feelings,” according to NAAJ guidelines. Ed won for his AgriCulture columns, which look at the culture of farming in Canada. Ed’s pieces covered the lives of farmyard dogs, and the emerging image of farming as a respected profession and overcoming old stereotypes. Ed also received an honourable mention for feature story writing and third place for his online blog, which can be found at producer.com. The Producer’s Lethbridge-based livestock editor, Barb Glen, took top spot for editorial writing. The NAAJ says editorials must “build arguments on fact and logic” and “state a position and convince the reader of the need for action.” Barb wrote about policing livestock abuse, educating urbanites on the realities of farming and the armed forces’ role in the September fire in southern Alberta. Yours truly placed third in editorials covering deferred cash purchases, industry use of misleading food labels and the Saskatchewan government’s tenuous position on climate change. The Producer’s machinery writer, Ron Lyseng, placed second in the special projects category, which “takes reporting to a higher level,” and “shows careful planning and enterprise,” according to the NAAJ. Ron won for his eye-opening presentation of five stories on the use of brakes on farm equipment. And our news team of William DeKay, Barb Glen and Karen Briere, who covered the Alberta wildfires last fall, received an honourable mention in spot news. Two reporters, who work for Glacier FarmMedia — which owns The Western Producer, the Manitoba Co-operator, the Alberta Farmer Express, Country Guide and Grain News — were also recognized for their work. The Co-operator’s Allan Dawson won first place in the news category, and Lisa Guenther of Country Guide earned third place in the feature writing category. brian.macleod@producer.com

GUNS OFFER PROTECTION To the Editor: I commend Sgt. Colin Sawrenko and Staff Sgt. Greg Abbott for a fine job speaking to the crowd that gathered at the town hall meeting on March 5. It was very informative with charts, graphs, stories and advice proving what we knew anyway — that RCMP are an amazing team doing a fine job, in spite of having to play that time consuming game of catch and release. Because they can’t be everywhere at once, they advised us to avoid confrontation if possible. My take was that we’re not to even shoot in the air unless we’ve been shot at first. I would have got a failing grade for my action last August 2016. I came home just before dark and the dog was telling me something was in the trees. I saw a man dressed in a black-hooded balaclava and carrying a rifle. I ran to the house and called the cops. I smelled marijuana outside the kitchen window, which told me he planned to get a clear shot through that window later that night. I got out my Winchester and headed out to find him in the trees. It was dark, but I could hear him. I was determined to hold him until the police arrived, which they did, five hours later. But they didn’t even arrest him. They just did a report, walked towards the trees, then left. I asked to borrow a vest but they didn’t have one. I didn’t feel safe in the house and my wife wasn’t home at the time, so I spent the night out in the trees, rifle aimed where I thought he was. I was waiting for him to shoot first, then I’d know exactly where to shoot, but fortunately no shots were fired, the sun was breaking and I went home. Not so long ago, it was a legal and a moral obligation for a man to keep a gun handy to protect his home, family and village. Horse thieves would hang at high noon.

But thieves are the least of our worr i e s. Ma n y , k n ow i n g h i s t o r y repeats itself, know there is a much darker and sinister reason coming, that we may need to be armed. I liked the bumper-sticker that says, “God, guns and guts made America free. We need them again!” There is an old saying, “For evil to prevail, good men need do nothing.” Perhaps Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was right: “We can and must do better.” Ross J.

Saskatchewan farmers shouldn’t be confused when it comes to the provincial sales tax exemption on some insurance premiums. During the recent Saskatchewan Party leadership campaign, nowpremier Scott Moe promised to restore the exemption on crop, hail and livestock insurance, and health and life insurance. The PST had been added to insurance premiums as of Aug. 1, 2017, after a budgetary measure last spring. Moe removed that cost, retroactively, on Feb. 26, but only on those specific premiums.

GRAIN TRANSPORT To the Editor For a considerable period of time this winter the railroads have taken a great portion of the blame regarding grain movement, particularly to the ports. They are 100 percent responsible for that grain movement. However there are other factors everyone should take into consideration when laying blame for the port movement of grain. Let us take a look. During winter and spring, weather conditions have a major voice in grain movement. This is not only from elevator to port, but

also from farm to elevator. Another avenue in this scenario is the type of grain in the elevator and the corresponding type of grain required at port to fill the present ships. Oh, this is leading towards a central authority to make certain the correct grain is present or in transport to the port at the correct time schedule. If memory serves me right, the Canadian Wheat Board had a division looking after that. Some politician promised a producer vote regarding the CWB existence. I did not see a vote. Politicians get a portion of (the responsibility for) the poor port grain movement. Particularly because a transport authority was not in place after the CWB. To some degree everyone has a portion of responsibility for the reduced grain flow. This happens to all things. A certain segment bears responsibility but there are always smaller avenues. Delwyn J. J. Jansen Humboldt, Sask.

PIPELINE POLITICS To the Editor: Canada has a huge volume of undeveloped northern natural resources, including oil, natural gas, uranium and coal. Canada can match the energy resources of Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Canadian northern wealth is not available as a result of pipeline transportation, neglect and poor management. A prime example relates to the Kinder Morgan-Trans Mountain Pipeline construction delay. (It’s intended to triple capacity.) These commodities are land locked by provincial boundaries and many regulations. If Pacific and European markets are expected to continue, Canada must amend its constitution whereby provincial boundaries do not obstruct sea port access and diminish foreign trade. With the failure by the City of Burnaby to approve sea port infrastructure to meet international standards, Canada will experience a downward spiral in world trade. The Port of Burnaby and Canada will suffer incalculable financial loss in consideration of a 34-ship docking facility proposed by Kinder Morgan. In addition to transportation failure, an international sales loss of 800,000 barrels of oil daily is intolerable. Further energy transportation rejection will expe-

rience catastrophic results related to exploration, employment, housing, health, tax revenue and Canadian economic growth. Canada’s lack off responsibility in the transportation industry will place a blemished image on foreign trade. We must never forget the errors of the past. In 1974, the federal government rejected the Northern Gateway corridor and the McKenzie Valley pipeline projects. Now, 44 years later, energy profits would have generated a balanced budget for Canada. Canada is one of the wealthiest countries of the world. However, according to the Fraser Institute, Canada currently carries a debt load that totals $4.1 trillion. It takes responsible people to properly manage financial and industrial affairs of a country like Canada. It is becoming increasingly obvious that energy production and pipeline construction decisions should be made in Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton and Victoria —

Farmers still pay the PST on the premium to insure farm machinery, for example. “It’s been raised with me, with people I represent as an MLA, with respect to physical property insurance and the PST still applying to that,” Moe said last week. “Our commitment throughout the campaign was to reinstate the PST exemption on crop, hail and livestock insurance, as well as life and health insurance.” The Feb. 26 news release proclaimed an exemption on “agriculture” premiums, although it specified crop, hail and livestock, which might account for some of the confusion. karen.briere@producer.com

Railway service plans ‘underwhelming’ Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway posted plans last week in response to a request from Ottawa BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Canada’s grain growers say the plans released last week by Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways to improve service could be too little, too late. Both railways had until March 15 to submit plans to Transport Minister Marc Garneau and Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay after farmers raised the alarm in Ottawa that poor rail service was creating a backlog. Both railways pledged more staff and more trains through the next few months. Grain Growers of Canada President Jeff Nielsen said it might be too late for significant improvement this year. “The grain value chain has been living with plummeting performance for months and any

improvements in rail service will unfortunately come at a time when spring road bans and planting will limit the amount of grain farmers can move,” he said. Saskatchewan extended winter weights in northern and central parts of the grain belt but weight restrictions are now in effect in the south. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said he didn’t find much in the railways’ plans. “I would say that it’s somewhat underwhelming,” he said during a speech to the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention. The plans strike an apologetic tone, he said, and they should, but the railways have a lot to answer for in terms of performance. Moe described the situation as mindboggling. “We need a long-term solution to

this problem that we’ve experienced twice in the last four years,” Moe said. “We cannot be reliving this this often. It’s too damaging to our economy.” Grain did move slightly better again last week. The Ag Transport Coalition reported CN and CP supplied 53 percent of cars ordered in grain week 32, up from 45 percent the week before. However, it still considers performance to be poor. CN has taken the brunt of the complaints. Its plan to improve service will restrict flow between Edmonton and Winnipeg by controlling movement of empty cars into Western Canada, better managing frack-sand orders, and returning empty propane cars in a more controlled way. The company repeated earlier promises to deploy qualified staff to operate trains and offer incen-

tives to postpone vacations or delay retirements to keep enough personnel. CN takes delivery of 60 of an order of 200 new locomotives later this year and plans to expand track and yard capacity this summer. CP is also adding 100 locomotives and 700 employees through the summer and planning capital investments. In a statement, Garneau said he would continue to closely monitor the situation. “While the current issues must be resolved as quickly as possible, we also need look beyond them to ensure the problems that have developed this winter are not repeated,” he said. “That is among the reasons we introduced Bill C-49.” Nielsen said C-49, which is still in the Senate, must be amended and passed as soon as possible.

“CN and CP have demonstrated time and again that they will not act on their own and that is why shippers need tools to hold them to account,” he said. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture and other organizations also want amendments. “CFA dismisses the argument that amendments would delay swift passage of the bill,” said President Ron Bonnett. MacAulay met with the Crop Logistics Working Group March 19 to discuss the issue and also referenced C-49. “We urge all Parliamentarians to pass this critical piece of legislation as quickly as possible because Canada needs a world-class transportation system not only for this year or next year, but for many years to come,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

An amended Bill C-49, enacted as soon as possible, is the best hope for prairie grain shippers at this point, witnesses told the House of Commons agriculture committee March 19. Railways and shippers may disagree on the reasons for the current grain backlog, but all of them say the transportation legislation, with some key changes, is needed going forward. The committee heard from railways, farmers and stakeholders during a four-hour meeting that was interrupted by a vote in the Commons. Bill C-49 is currently in the Senate and is expected to go to clause-by-clause vote later this month. Rick White from the Canadian Canola Growers Association said the bill is designed to balance the interests of shippers and railways, and while measuring its success might take a while, it still represents progress. “CCGA encourages the Senate and government to work together to ensure Bill C-49 passes and becomes law as soon as possible,” he said during testimony. “This is the long-term fix for the problem that we have today. We need it passed.” How e v e r, a m e n d m e nt s a re required to make it useful, added Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnet and several others. They say it must contain tools that could have prevented the current backlog. “As it is currently written it does not, as confirmed by many industry players including (Canadian National Railway) at the CFA annual meeting when they said the passage of C-49 would not have avoided the current crisis,” he said. “They went on to say that only endto-end data collection, analysis and

fact-based decision-making could solve the problem. This sounds like a ringing endorsement to give the (Canadian Transportation Agency) own-motion authority.” Giving the CTA more investigative power was one of the main recommendations of a review after the 2013-14 backlog, but it wasn’t included in Bill C-49. Bonnett said if it had been in place, it would have helped prevent a repeat of that situation. Tyler Bjornson, a consultant speaking on behalf of the Western Grain Elevator Association, spoke to the need for changes to the bill’s long haul interswitching provision. He said it is more bureaucratic and difficult to use than the extended interswitching previously in place. “We are concerned that the grain sector will not be able to leverage its use properly (without amendments”,” he said. As the bill is written, an elevator served by both railways or located within 30 kilometres of an existing interchange would be excluded from the provision. “If those two rail lines are headed in the relatively wrong direction … that elevator for all intents and purposes is still captive,” Bjornson said. That would leave 75 percent of all of Canada’s value added grain processing facilities unable to use the option, he said. Tisdale, Sask. farmer and Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan vice-president Ian Boxall said his family has three-month-old grain contracts still undelivered because of poor rail service. Fertilizer deliveries have had to come extra distances by truck and farmers are paying the bills for all of this, he said. “We need all parliamentarians from both the House and the Senate to come together and pass Bill C-49 now,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

Prairie climate already changing Farmers told to prepare for warmer temperatures BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A five-year study of Western Canada’s climate and hydrology reveals that farmers better be ready and willing to adapt. “Climate and landscape in Western Canada are changing probably faster than anywhere else in the world,” said Howard Wheater, director of the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan. “We are undergoing the most rapid warming of the planet’s cold regions in the history of humanity.” Research conducted by the Changing Cold Regions Network shows winter minimum temperatures have gone up four to five degrees in the last 50 years, while average temperatures have risen two to three degrees. Winters are as much as two months shorter than they were in the 1970s across the region and there is reduced snow cover and depth. There are many implications for prairie agriculture. In the last five years the region has received the most extreme floods and droughts in recorded history and there has been a shift in the timing and location of those floods. Wheater said farmers should brace for more of the same in the future, although the floods and droughts will be increasingly intense. There will also be an increase in wildfires. There is going to be more rain, less snow and earlier snow melts. Some water basins will experience increased water flows, while others will have decreased flows. Farmers can expect intense, extreme multi-day summer rainfalls and more days of above 30 C weather. The warming trend will continue, bringing heat stress to crops and animals in the southern portion of the Prairies. “A big unknown is with the warmer climate, where do we go in terms of pests and diseases?” said Wheater. Farmers will be growing different crops than they are now and farming different land as crops and grassland expand north into the southern boreal forest. Researchers are still pulling the data together and don’t know yet how it will be used. “This is raw information and we need to digest it and we need to turn it into products that would be useful to farmers,” said Wheater. The network is working with Environment Canada and Agriculture Canada to create better models for predicting floods, seasonal water flows and soil moisture conditions. It also intends to work with Agriculture Canada on another project. “To improve not only their reporting of drought but forecasting of drought,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

Leases safe in new regional land-use plan: Alta. Province says review of the North Saskatchewan watershed region will guide decisions on how to best use the land BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

As government officials begin work on a massive plan to help shape agriculture and development in north-central Alberta, they’re making it clear that changes won’t affect ranchers’ lease agreements. “The short answer is lease agreements won’t be affected at all,” said Alberta Environment and Parks Minister Shannon Phillips. “The intent, always, is to underline to leaseholders that their work is important and it’s fundamental to who we are as Albertans. These dispositions (lease agreements) are important to their businesses and their right to make a living, and ranchers or leaseholders are often the best environmental stewards we have.” Producer groups welcomed the news that lease agreements won’t change. In the past, when the province was developing a similar plan for southern Alberta, many ranchers were left confused over what would happen to their leases. “We don’t want these plans to restrict the abilities of producers to use land and water in the region,” said Rich Smith, executive director with the Alberta Beef Producers. “We would support the approach the minister is suggesting, where lease agreements won’t be affected. The current management practices producers do on public lands has been good for our industry, good for the province and good for the land.” This new land-use plan for northcentral Alberta will cover the North Saskatchewan watershed region, which includes parts of Banff National Park, the Edmonton area, and the Camrose and Wainwright areas in eastern Alberta. While it deals with lease agreements, the plan will also guide decisions on how to best use the land for economic, recreational and environmental purposes. As well, it will help identify where wetlands and wildlife conservation can be improved and how to best preserve agriculture. Many are hoping the province sets clear priorities in the plan, so certain parts of the region can be dealt with first. “With the plan in southern Alberta, there was a lack of specificity,” said Norine Ambrose, executive director of Cows and Fish, an organization that works with landowners to support wetland and riparian management. “We can’t do everything everywhere all the time, so they should decide what’s important and acknowledge the key role water storage plays. They’ll have to make hard decisions, which can be extremely tough to do.” So far, it appears the North Saskatchewan watershed plan will likely be more specific than the southern one. A set of recommendations has already been developed for it. Many of them discuss the importance leaseholders play in conservation, and certain areas of the region have been prioritized for improvement. For instance, it’s recommended the Alberta government

RICH SMITH ALBERTA BEEF PRODUCERS

launch pilot projects in three districts so more ranchers can become familiar with programs that deal with conservation offsets and easements.

“While we don’t want overly restrictive conservation tools, we need to keep our minds open to the kinds of tools available,” Smith said. “One of those tools to consider carefully is the use of some form of ecosystem service payment or recognition that would encourage the retention of grasslands. There’s a lot of value in keeping grasslands and currently we don’t have a payment program that deals with that.” Phillips said there are opportunities available for such a program and she’s open to working with crop and beef groups to make it more accessible. “As the carbon price increases,

there’s more opportunity there and farmers will find more of a reason to do it,” she said. “But is there more to be done? For sure, absolutely. I’ve put that out to agriculture producers in various ways, so they can bring me ways to strengthen the system and make it work for farmers. “In particular for grazing lease holders, I think what’s really important is certainty. It’s important for the bank and planning for the future.” The recommendations for the North Saskatchewan plan are currently out for feedback.

Caution urged with renewable energy contracts Landowners told protections provided when dealing with oil and gas companies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to wind and solar sectors BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TABER, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Southern Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abundance of sun and wind continues to attract proposals for wind and solar farms, but landowners should be wary about the contents of any contracts they sign, says a landowner advocate. Daryl Bennett, vice-president of industry and government regulatory affairs for the My Landman Group, said those who negotiate contracts for renewable energy projects have no licencing requirements or standard of conduct, unlike the land agents who negotiate oil and gas leases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very worried about these contracts that landowners are signing,â&#x20AC;? Bennett said during a March 8 meeting of the Action Surface Rights group and a similar presentation March 7 at the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association meeting in Brooks, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As bad as it is with oil and gas, it could be a lot worse with wind and solar. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be nuts to be signing any of this stuff until questions â&#x20AC;Ś are resolved.â&#x20AC;? Alberta landowners are already faced with issues surrounding reclamation of abandoned or orphaned oil and gas wells. However, Bennett said many wind and solar contracts have no requirement for site reclamation and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no equivalent to the Orphan Well Association that exists in the energy sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unregulated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far worse than oil and gas,â&#x20AC;? said Bennett. The provincial government may impose reclamation criteria on renewable energy projects, but if the company goes bankrupt or walks away from the project, it is unclear who would be responsible for cleaning up the site. As well, it might fall to the landowner to cover any unpaid property taxes, buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; liens and utility bills. There is no government involvement in private contracts of the type offered by wind and solar companies, said Bennett. Contracts can be difficult to terminate, and disputes must be handled through the court system.

Many contracts for renewable energy projects such as wind farms have no requirement for site reclamation, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no equivalent to the Orphan Well Association that exists in Alberta for the oil and gas industry. | FILE PHOTO Landowners do not have recourse through the provincial government for any unpaid annual rent, and the Alberta Surface Rights Board has no jurisdiction over the projects. Contracts also generally require landowners to waive any adverse health or noise issues that might arise from the projects. There have been numerous cases in which people living near wind turbines have complained about noise, solar flicker and feelings of malaise. As for the financial benefits, there is usually a confidentiality clause in contracts that prevents open sharing. However, the highest rate he has seen is $1,300 per acre for solar projects on dryland and $20,000 annually for wind turbines and substations. Bennett said he knows of at least one case where owners of land adjacent to a proposed renewable energy project have each been offered $15,000 not to object to the proposal. Some contracts offer fixed rates per acre or per turbine and some

offer a percentage of revenue. Bennett discouraged landowners from accepting a revenue percentage because if the company isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making money, the landowner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t either, and there are many reasons why companies might be unable to sell their electricity. As well, landowners should demand compensation when construction starts on the project, rather than waiting until the last turbine or solar panel is up and running, because projects can face delays or cancellation before completion. He also warned landowners to consider field access points and responsibility for weed issues before signing contracts. Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NDP government has put various programs in place to encourage renewable energy projects. Its goal is to have 30 percent of Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy come from renewable sources by 2030. Bennett said he wonders what will happen to any subsidy arrangements should the NDP lose the next election in spring 2019. The Alberta Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Advocate

Office has a document that repeats some of Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice and offers other information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Negotiating for a wind or solar lease is different than negotiating with the oil and gas industry,â&#x20AC;? the document says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Alberta, there is no right of entry or expropriation process for a renewable energy power plant. Participation in a wind or solar lease for a power plant is 100 percent voluntary, and you are under no obligation to entertain a proposal. Contracts are negotiated bilaterally between the landowner and the renewable energy developer. If you decline interest, the developer will have to find an alternative location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the new spot may be located nearby, in which case you would experience impacts without generating direct value from revenue.â&#x20AC;? It further states that every contract is different and designed to meet the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs rather than the landownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Advocate Office recommends that landowners get legal advice

health on their farms and in their communities. “For Brigid, it was not only about the issues, it was about the people,” said CFA president Ron Bonnett. The research component of the partnership will include a plan for strategic outreach and identifying research projects that address gaps in mental health support. Skinner said the agricultural community has helped him through his struggle. He has found a “watershed change” in the last 24 months as more people talk about their own experiences. He said finding ways to continue the conversation is what’s needed. “To me, we’ve come a long, long way on mental health and it’s exciting because if we start to build these communities and we have these services, it becomes a lot easier to stay focused on the good things,” he said. “We’ve come so far in fighting with that stigma.” He also encouraged farmers to take time for themselves. He said it took three years to accept he would deal with his mental health for the rest of his life. “The best way to deal with it is to try to head it off at the pass,” Skinner said.

Federal public safety minister Ralph Goodale says the public meetings Saskatchewan’s 87 RCMP detachments are holding will help open lines of communication. Speaking to reporters in Regina March 9, the minister said the fact that people at some of the first meetings have said they would defend their property any way they can is concerning. “Obviously, people should not contemplate taking the law into their own hands,” he said. “That is a potentially very dangerous attitude. But the fact that some of that attitude exists, I think, reflects the fact that there hasn’t been much of a dialogue before.” The RCMP announced it would hold the townhall style meetings through March and April to discuss local policing priorities and public safety planning. One of the first meetings was held at Biggar, near where Colten Boushie was shot and killed on Gerald Stanley’s farm in August 2016. Stanley was recently found not guilty of second degree murder. Reports from that meeting and another in Perdue indicate concern about RCMP response time and questions of how far people can go to defend their property and themselves. Some have said they would do whatever it takes to keep their families and property safe. The debate has also ignited in Alberta, where a landowner near Okotoks faces charges after a shooting on his property. Goodale said the problems won’t go away with one or two meetings but being candid is important. “If we’re going to build a greater sense of safety and security and trust and confidence in the process and in the system, then people have to have talked to each other,” he said. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said the conversations happening since Boushie’s death and the trial verdict are difficult, but necessary. “I commend the RCMP for reaching out to communities,” he said. He said the talk from members of the public about taking matters into their own hands is why law enforcement should be holding meetings. And, he said perhaps this will open up greater conversations around the root issues of mental health and addictions that can lead to crime.

Agriculture tackles mental health The CFA and the Do More Agriculture Foundation sign an agreement to raise awareness BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Stewart Skinner has stood on that edge between despair and death. And the Ontario hog farmer could have been there again just a few weeks ago if he hadn’t dealt with his mental illness. “I came very, very close to killing myself in a pig barn in 2013,” he told a rural mental health symposium at the Canadian Federation of Agricultural annual meeting last month. The family farm had just undergone an expansion that hadn’t turned out well, he said. He blamed himself, fell into depression and became irrational. That day in the barn, he called his parents and he got help. He learned to recognize the triggers of his depression and to focus on the good things in his life. In mid-February 2018, another disaster struck. “In one of our niche-market production systems we’ve lost 25 percent of our pigs in the last weekand-a-half,” he said Feb. 28. This will be the first time he can’t pay his feed bill on time, he said. Yet he began his presentation with a video of his young son, Bryce, and some piglets in the barn.

In the background behind a short wall is a pile of dead pigs from the most recent trouble. Skinner said the video illustrates what farming with mental health challenges is like for him. “I’m always able to focus on my cute little son and what’s good,” he said. “If we went back (to 2013), I would have been only able to focus on the dead pigs at the back of that barn.” A variation of Skinner’s story could be told many times across Canada in the farming community. The 2015-16 study often referenced in regard to the mental health of Canadian farmers found the rate of anxiety is 1.5 times higher than the general population in the United Kingdom while the rate of depression is 1.7 times higher. Rates were also higher when compared to a study of Norwegian farmers about 20 years ago. Tim Nelson, chief executive officer of the Livestock Research Innovation Corp., spoke on behalf of the organizations that funded the Canadian research. He said the study also found that farmers aren’t as resilient as many think. While the average resilience score for the American general

population is 81 out of 100, the average for Canadian producers was 71. Nelson said farmers are carrying on, but they aren’t thriving. While they are open to seeking mental health support, about 40 percent said they feel uneasy about that because of what others might think, Nelson said. Fifty-seven percent of farmers said they weren’t satisfied with industry support. They want help from people who understand agriculture, and Nelson said three initiatives are underway to improve support. This includes interviewing people, getting ideas from those who have experienced mental illness and developing a mental health information program and emergency response. The CFA and the Do More Agriculture Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding during the meeting to raise awareness and money for research. A new Brigid Rivoire Memorial Award for Best Practices in Mental Health is part of the partnership. The award honouring CFA’s longtime executive director, who died from cancer last year, will be presented at each annual meeting to farmers in Canada who demonstrate best practices in mental

Cain Quam practices cowboy mounted shooting in his arena near Kendal, Sask. |

Family giddy-ups to fast-paced sport The Quams of Saskatchewan embrace the sport of mounted shooting, which is based on the wild west shows of the late 19th century BY WILLIAM DEKAY

ON THE FARM

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Cain Quam loads blanks into his replica 1873 Ruger New Vaquero revolver, which are .45 Long Colts filled with course black powder.

KENDAL, Sask. — For some, the sport called cowboy mounted shooting is about the rush of competition, a passion for horses and the challenge. For others, there’s the romance of experiencing the culture of the wild west in the 21st century. For some, like the Quam family of Kendal, Sask., the sport has it all. Cain Quam, his wife, Roberta, and their daughters Cheyenne, 19, and Jaelynn, 17, have all competed in mounted shooting events from Saskatchewan to Texas for five years. The sport involves riding a horse through a twisting pattern of 10 balloons while shooting at the balloons using pistols and rifles filled with blank ammunition. The sport is based on historical re-enactments of cowboy shooting events held as part of wild west shows in the late 19th century. Modern events use blank ammunition, which can break a target balloon within 20 feet. “It’s a lot of adrenaline because there’s a lot going on,” said Cain Quam, who chairs the Saskatchewan Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association. “You’re going fast and you’re running a gun. Both are fun alone and putting them together is very exciting. The first time we did it we were like, ‘oh yeah, we could do

CAIN QUAM PERFORMANCE HORSES Kendal, Sask. more of this.’ ” From their two-quarter spread, the family operates Cain Quam Performance Horses. They also run a 25-head commercial cattle herd. Cain has been training horses and teaching people to ride for more than 30 years. Currently, their horse training and clinician business boards and trains about 50 horses. It features a large insulated indoor arena with 18 stalls and well-stocked tack shop. Cain recently changed from training cutting horses to training mounted-shooting horses, as well as barrel and recreational horses. The business also holds clinics to teach people how to ride and train their own horses. “I’m a fourth generation horse trainer, so I kind of come by it honestly and just always been drawn to horses,” he said. He spent much of his early years

on the road with his parents, who organized rodeos throughout Canada. They helped him learn how to train horses, and were horse trainers and rodeo competitors in their own right. “We lived on the road, basically, and as I got older, I also started competing. But I was training horses at the same time and decided that was a sounder career than actually being a rodeo competitor,” Cain said. Roberta was not raised on a farm, but took up riding and roping cattle soon after she married Cain 25 years ago. She said she was cautious when she first started mounted shooting, but it grew on her. “I didn’t like going fast on a horse and didn’t really care about guns, but when I did try it, there’s just something really neat about it. Learning to manoeuvre your horse in the pattern is really huge and once you get the shooting down, handling the gun is more about the horsemanship,” she said. The sport requires a variety of technical, athletic and equine skills. “ There’s so much going on. You’re going fast, running with a gun while focusing on a balloon all at the same time and trying to hit a line and turn in the perfect spot. You might be turning left while looking right and shooting right,” said Cain.

Jaelynn Quam, 17, hoists a straw bale during chores. “It takes a ton of practice and a ton of mental preparation. That’s one thing that’s really fun about this sport is it really is a mental game. It looks fairly simple, but once you actually start to apply it, it becomes quite complex.” The horses also enjoy it and quickly gain more confidence around the noise of gunfire. “It engages the horse because of the patterns. It’s not a routine. So, it’s new and interesting to the horse, just like it is for the rider. The rider is having so much fun that the horse actually feeds off that,” said Roberta. A wall in the tack shop at Cain Quam Performance Horses is covered with competition buckles the family has won. The Quams have won many state and regional championships throughout the United States and Canada since starting in 2012. Cain was the first and only Canadian who made the top 10 overall

at the world finals in Amarillo, Texas, in 2016. True to its heritage, cowboy mounted shooting rules require competitors to use an imitation 1873 pistol, the original action revolver. “It’s just an iconic type of gun. Most of the revolvers and rifles you’ll see in a western movie are an 1873 model,” said Cain. While many contestants use a $1,000 Colt clone pistol, the Quams use a Ruger New Vaquero that uses a newer internal mechanism, but is still historically authentic. Rifles run about $2,000. Blank cartridges are loaded with course black powder, typically used in muzzleloaders. The powder continues to burn after exiting the barrel, which is what pops the balloon. “The blanks are engineered and loaded to a specification so they won’t pop a balloon past 20 feet. They will burn up at about 25 feet

Cain Quam places a rubber ball into the ear of his horse prior to mounted shooting. and there’ll be no projectile left whatsoever. That way it’s safe for spectators,” he said. Beyond the competitive spirit, romance with the western lifestyle tugs many people into the sport. “I think it’s partially the cowboy tradition. If you think of the wild west, there are visions of those guns, the hats and the chaps. That’s something we’ve tried to recreate in this sport is that whole cultural kind of nostalgic cowboy, westerntype feel. That’s part of the draw,” he said. “I think a lot of the people that get into cowboy mounted shooting aren’t necessarily real-life cowboys, but they always wanted to be one and this gives them an opportunity to get their toes a little wet.” william.dekay@producer.com

It’s all about the eggs when following Easter traditions TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

aster and hard-boiled, coloured eggs are a tradition in many homes. Making the perfect hard-cooked egg, which is tender with a bright yellow yolk, is easy with the correct cooking procedure. Perfect eggs Making the perfect hard-boiled egg starts with older eggs because fresh eggs are harder to peel. Begin by placing the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan of cold water. The water should cover the eggs by at least one inch (2 cm). Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for two minutes

and then cover the pan with a tight fitting lid, turn off the heat and let the pan sit on the burner for 12 minutes. Use a timer. While the eggs are sitting, fill a large bowl or the sink with cold water and add ice to lower the temperature. Carefully lift the eggs from the hot water and place the eggs in the ice water. Let them sit in the ice water for five to 10 minutes until completely cool. The gentle cooking reduces the tendency of the egg whites to become rubbery, and the rapid cooking lessens the formation of a grey-green ring around the yolk. Once the eggs are cooked, colour them or place them in a sealed container and return to the refrigerator. Hard-cooked eggs with the shell on that are kept in a sealed container will keep for one week in the refrigerator. Eggs should not be left at room temperature for more then two hours. If using for decoration and you plan to eat them later, refrigerate within two hours. Food spoils quickly in the “temperature danger zone” range of 4 to 60 C (40 to 140 F).

Egg wars Why not have a little friendly competition before eating your eggs. Egg wars are a fun way to see who has the strongest egg. Each person selects a hard-boiled egg and gently holds it between thumb and forefinger, pointed end of the egg facing out. People take turns tapping the pointed end of their egg against the pointed end of their opponent’s egg. When an egg cracks, they repeat the process with the big ends of the eggs. The egg that doesn’t crack is the winner and goes on to compete with the next person and their egg. Easy peeling To peel a hard-cooked egg, crack the shell all over by tapping it on a hard sur face and then roll it between your hands or the counter to loosen the shell. Begin peeling at the large end. Rinsing the egg in a bowl of water will help to remove the shell, especially the tiny pieces.

Precooked, peeled hard-boiled eggs can be bought in sealed bags if you just want to make stuffed eggs and don’t have the time to cook or peel them.

STUFFED ‘CHICK’ EGGS Turn your coloured Easter eggs into cute and delicious stuffed or deviled egg “chicks.” 12 extra large eggs, hardboiled 12 1/2 c. mayonnaise, or more to taste 125 mL 1/4 tsp. prepared mustard or Dijon mustard 1 mL 1/4 tsp. salt 1 mL 1/4 tsp. celery salt 1 mL 1/8 tsp. fine ground pepper.5 mL 12 raisins or 24 slices green or black olives 1 carrot, cut into 24 rounds 1 Take a small slice off the wide end of the egg to create a flat end for the “chick” to stand on. Slice through the top one-third of each egg, ensuring some of the yolk is included in the slice. Carefully remove the egg yolk from the bottom portion of the egg using a spoon or tip of a knife and transfer to a bowl. Break the yolk into pieces if need be. To create a decorative edge, you could use a sharp knife to cut a zigzag pattern around the egg. Mix egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Fill a piping bag or a plastic bag with the egg yolk mixture. If using a zipper bag, roll the edge down twice so the mixture doesn’t clog the zip edge. Seal the bag and use the edge of the counter to squeeze the mixture to the bottom of the bag. Snip a corner off the bottom of the plastic bag and pipe the egg yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites to create the “chick,” ensuring there is enough filling to add “eyes” and a “beak.” Cut small wedges out of the carrot rounds creating 12 “beaks.” Add a “beak” to each “chick” or add two pieces to create an open mouth beak. Use two slices of olive for big round “eyes” or use a drinking straw to cut small circular “eyes” out of the olive slices. Pieces of raisin could also be used for “eyes.” Add two “eyes” to each “chick.”

Place the egg tops onto each “chick” to look like a chick is peaking out of the egg. Use the carrot rounds that had the wedges cut from them to create “chick” feet. Adapted from www.allrecipes. com. Alternative fillings Here are some alternative fillings for the stuffed “chick” eggs or for traditional deviled eggs.

CALIFORNIA-STYLE DEVILED EGGS 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and cut in half 12 1/4 c. low fat mayonnaise 60 mL 2 tsp. Dijon mustard 10 mL 2 tbsp. finely chopped rehydrated or welldrained oil-packed sundried tomatoes 30 mL 4 tsp. chopped fresh basil 20 mL 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar 5 mL 1/4 tsp. salt 1 mL Pinch pepper Chopped sun-dried tomatoes and small fresh basil leaves for garnish. Remove egg yolks and mix with mayonnaise, mustard, tomatoes, basil vinegar and salt. Use a spoon to fill egg white halves and garnish with small tomato pieces and basil leaves.

BACON CHEDDAR DEVILED EGGS 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and cut in half 12 1/2 c. mayonnaise 125 mL 4 slices bacon, chopped 4 2 tbsp. cheddar cheese, finely shredded 30 mL 1 tbsp. traditional mustard or Dijon mustard 15 mL Remove the egg yolks and mix with mayonnaise, three quarters of the bacon, cheese and mustard. Using a spoon, fill egg white halves and garnish with bacon and shredded cheese. Adapted from www.eggs.ca. Betty Ann Deobald is a home economist from Rosetown, Sask., and a member of Team Resources.

SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

I hope that you have some ideas for me. I retired last spring. I was 73. I guess that is a little later than it is for most guys who retire, but I never really worried about it. For the past 30 plus years I had been a parts man at one of our local farm dealerships. I loved my job, which is why I kept at it for so long. The problem is that now that I am retired I am finding that this is not the golden age I always thought that it would be. To put it mildly, it is downright boring. I help a little around the house and try my hand at wood working in my basement, but really I feel like I am just wasting time and I cannot get excited about very much. I keep thinking that there must be some kind of a trick to this thing. Is there a course or something that a guy could take to learn how to enjoy being retired? I need something to get me going. What do you think?

the group are well and healthy in the morning, someone goes shopping for those who cannot do so for themselves, someone has a Christmas dinner and others plant a few carrots in the community garden. The interplay between all people within the group is a natural reward system for everyone. Whatever it is that you choose for yourself, you need only make sure that you are going to find gratitude there — either explicitly from someone saying “thank you” or implicitly from watching the world unfold a little better than what it once was.

I am sure that there are any number of courses all over the place to help people adjust to the moment of retirement, but most of the courses with which I am familiar tend to be those recommending various programs for money management. That strikes me as kind of ironic. Most of us need more guidance trying to turn as much magic as we can with too few dollars when we are younger and trying to raise our families than we do when we are o l d e r a n d h av e f e w e r l i v i n g expenses. However, that is what they do, and if you want to grab onto a few more ideas on how to live on a fixed income, you will find all kinds of options. If you want to live a more complete and wholesome life you will likely not find that much to help you. Neither are you going to find much help from our general culture. Your friends and neighbors and there to remind you that these are the golden years and all you have to do is sit back, commiserate about your memories of when you were younger and let the world come to you. I sometimes wonder if those who are so quick to offer such advice ever realized how boring their options are. The problem that you appear to be having, which is one that is widely shared in any number of retirement villas, is that you are not getting the rewards you need to maintain a healthy and positive sense of who you are as a person. When you were a parts man, you got rewards at least daily for finding and retrieving those parts needed in the shop. You got some rewards from satisfied customers, and if you successfully held that job for as long as you did, you probably got the occasional pat on the back from your supervisors. Now you get none. Yo u m ay n o t n e e d a s m a n y rewards as you did when you were a younger person, but all of us need to get some recognition for what-

Retirement requires rewards ever it is that we are doing, and if you are not getting any, you could easily get quite depressed. I think that most people who I see successfully navigating their way through retirement have reward systems in their commitments. Some get rewards from their grandkids. They get right in there with the kids and help them develop into little men and women. Others get involved in either their churches or their communities and get rewarded for serving on committees and contributing to whatever projects the church/community initiates. And then there are those who get something out of helping each other through the latter years of their lives. Someone knocks on doors to make sure that others in

Your age is one of the main risk factors with studies showing most cases of breast cancer occur between the ages of 50 and 69. Women with dense breasts, those with more glandular tissue, may be up to six times more likely to develop breast cancer. It is also harder to detect tumours in dense breasts because the cancerous lumps may be indistinguishable from the surrounding tissues. Studies carried out in 2016 by Italian and Australian researchers suggested that screening was missing a significant number of tumours a year because standard checks were not sensitive enough to pick up about one in six cases. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that you should skip your routine mammogram, but be aware that the quality of the machines varies, depending on the age and model. But even the best of them will occasionally fail to detect a tumour. Family history is important. You will have double the risk of breast cancer if your mother, sister or daughter have had it, particularly if they developed it at an earlier age and before menopause. There are also some genetic mutations such as the BRCA1 or the BRCA2, which often occur in women of Ashkenazy Jewish ancestry, that increase risk. Other less common genetic conditions such as Peutz-Jegherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome should be considered. Because some types of breast cancer are influenced by estrogens, the more you are exposed to them, the greater the risk of breast cancer. People who had early menarche and late menopause should be aware of this, as well as women who have taken oral contraceptives for years, or have received hormone replacement therapy. If you have received radiation treatments to the neck, armpit and upper chest area, perhaps for something like Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma, you run a greater risk of breast cancer. Alcohol consumption is also a factor and the risk increases with the amount you drink daily. Other lifestyle factors that you may have some control over are obesity and lack of exercise. Female hormones can accumulate in the excess fatty tissues. On a more positive note, the Canadian Cancer society says â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant evidence shows no link between antiperspirants, deodorants, abortion, breast implants or bras and a higher risk of breast cancer.â&#x20AC;?

‘Paid hunting’ fee proposed to access land Alta. ranchers look for solutions as tension builds between those who lease public land and those who want to use it BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BROOKS, Alta. — An email sent to Fort Macleod, Alta., area rancher Bill Newton last fall was initially polite. A prospective hunter requested access to grazing land that Newton leases, specifying when and where he wanted to hunt. Newton sent a polite reply, refusing access due to excessively dry conditions and the heightened risk of fire. The prospective hunter’s next email was not so polite. It said Newton had no right to refuse access because leased land is also public land. After a few more exchanges, Alberta Environment and Parks settled the matter. The hunter was refused access because a fire ban was in effect for the region. The incident is one example that illustrate the push and pull of public access to public grazing reserves and the concerns of leaseholders about that access. “There’s a new attitude,” Newton said about hunters and others who want access to grazing reserve land. “What are the issues facing us leaseholders? Well, I think there’s an escalation of conflict. There’s increasing demand from hunters, it seems like, partly because of technology,” Newton told those at the March 7 meeting of the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association. That technology includes various smartphone applications that allow people to mark GPS locations where they see game, quickly learn who owns or leases the land, and make fast and repeated requests for hunting access. AGLA secretary treasurer Darcy Wills said there’s a safety issue associated with allowing too many hunters onto a lease at any given time. He suggested the best person to make that call is the leaseholder. Alberta’s provincial regulations specify that “recreationalists are welcome on grazing reserves but are reminded that use of these areas may be restricted during certain times of the year.” Before entering leased land, potential users must contact the leaseholder, according to the regulations, and must be allowed “reasonable access.” “What’s reasonable is still probably what’s causing us some angst,” said Newton. Provincial regulations indicate that access can be denied if: • users are not on foot • livestock is present in a fenced pasture • A crop has not yet been harvested • a fire ban is in effect • users wish to shoot a firearm or use an explosive near livestock • users want to camp The regulations further direct people to contact regional grazing offices or a website, recagpublicland.alberta.ca, for information. Users must keep motorized vehicles on roads or trails within grazing reserves, must leave gates as they find them and are prohibited from camping within those reserves.

Alberta legislation doesn’t allow ranchers who lease public land to charge hunters for access, but a producer suggests that a fee for administering requests might be possible. | FILE PHOTO Newton acknowledged that many hunters are respectful of the land and the leaseholders but many are not. He suggested leaseholders could use technology themselves to manage access through such things as a dedicated email for access requests or outsourcing them to a third party for later consideration by the leaseholder. His other idea is to implement an application fee. Under provincial legislation, hunters can’t be charged for access, but a fee for administering requests might be possible, Newton said. However, a system that pays ranchers and leaseholders for ecological goods and services is the ideal. “Certainly, my preferred solution is a marketplace system of goods and services. Paid hunting. Call it what it is. “I’m providing the habitat on my freehold lands. I’m managing my leased lands to accommodate the wildlife and put up with the fact that they come off of the leased land to my stack yard in the winter. These things are not silos independent of themselves, leased land and freehold land, so why can’t I charge for access? So that’s certainly my preferred, but the Wildlife Act prevents that.” A system of payment for ecological goods and services, which acknowledges the landholder’s role in such things as wildlife preservation, provision of habitat and biodiversity, has been studied by various groups and organizations but has not been established in Alberta. barb.glen@producer.com

Canola council deals with Richardson pull-out Council was forced to review its spending plans after grain company left, which members say was a valuable exercise BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — There was no panic at the Canola Council of Canada’s recent annual meeting in the California desert, far from the tense canola industry politics surrounding Portage and Main in Winnipeg. Conversations with farmers and the companies that ser ve the canola industry suggested that Richardson International’s decision to quit the council is being taken in stride and allowing for a more harmonious refocusing of the organization. “Nobody’s happy about it, but

these things happen in a diverse organization dealing with multiple interests,” said one long-time canola council member and com-

mercial player in a conversation before the conference officially began. Richardson pulled out of the organization at the end of 2017, leaving the council with an embarrassing fracture and a big hole in its funding. Richardson, as Canada’s biggest grain company, was paying a big fee to the CCC, based on pertonne levies. In response, the council hurriedly scaled-down its 2018 spending plans, chopping 32 percent from the budget and setting up a “priorities review process.” That process is giving the members of the council, which includes farmers, grain companies, chemi-

cal companies, seed companies, processors and others, a chance to determine how much emphasis and spending it applies to agronomy, market development and research. In an interview, council chair David Dzisiak said neither Richardson’s pullout nor the re-engineering of the organization have damaged the commitment of key members to keep driving the canola industry forward. “The mood is very positive. It’s very upbeat,” said Dzisiak, who recalled when the canola council’s goal was to produce 15 million tonnes. “We’ve blown by that. We’re 50 percent larger than that.”

However, he acknowledged that the growth of the industry is one of the authors of the present tensions over levies. Members are charged differently depending on their commercial or other activities, and grain companies were being charged a flat levy per tonne for the canola they handled. That meant when canola production boomed, levies went up. And when companies grew, they ended up paying higher fees. “Probably the one thing we didn’t do that we should have done is sat back and said, ‘OK, do we need to spend everything that volume generates?’ ” said Dzisiak. Viterra was also said to be mulling over withdrawing from the council last year, and other companies have also grumbled about the council’s expanding activities and programs. CCC President Jim Everson said assessing all those programs and roles is a big part of the present review. In the short term, with the big budget cut for 2018, lots of areas have been squeezed, while vital interests are being maintained. “We’ve reduced some of our market development work (but) we’ve really maintained our focus on market access work,” said Everson. When it pulled out, Richardson said it believed some of the council’s agronomy and market development work was redundant, since companies like Richardson had their own agronomists and overseas sales people. However, farmers at the conference seemed skeptical of company-owned efforts and no farmer representatives this reporter spoke with wanted to see the CCC reduce its agronomic outreach, especially since it is unbiased. The restructuring, re-evaluating and refocusing of the CCC was a big topic of casual discussion amongst attendees, but played almost no role in the public elements of the meeting. In his official address, Everson described the efforts the council is making to address concerns and re-establish the consensus among players and sectors but did not directly refer to Richardson’s departure. Nor was he publicly asked about the issue. The companies and farmer organizations that still comprise the council seemed to be moving on, and no one seemed to feel any great fear that the organization itself was imperilled. “There is always a bit of tension and angst as you start that because it is unknown where you’re going,” said Dzisiak. However, the council’s members still seemed mostly focused on its lofty goal of producing 26 million tonnes of canola by 2025, an average of 52 bushels per acre, rather than simply mulling over internal divisions. “We’ve got tremendous opportunity as an industry, like none that I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Dzisiak. ed.white@producer.com

Barley may thrive under climate change Climate change could result in warmer and wetter conditions in northern Alberta and warmer and drier in the south BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A warming climate could be good news for Alberta’s barley industry. University of Alberta researchers have embarked on a ongoing project to study adaptive measures and opportunities for water use for agriculture, petroleum and other sectors in the province. Watershed scientist Monireh Faramarzi and others have combined hydrology and climate models to assess water supplies now and in the future for all sectors, including crop production. The research team created 48 models and scenarios. “According to these results, we found we are going to have increased precipitation based on the average of the models,” she said at the Western Barley Growers Association annual meeting in Calgary March 7-8. The research team evaluated precipitation patterns, evaporation, snowfall, snow melt, blue water and green water throughout the province. Blue water is surface and groundwater that can be extracted,

while green water is stored in the soil. The conclusion is northern Alberta can expect warmer and wetter conditions while the south is likely to be warmer and drier in the long term. Rain-fed barley crops in northern Alberta will experience higher yields while irrigated crops in the south should remain about the same. However both are likely to require less water for production because of increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Crops could demand 10 to 60 percent less water in the new environment. “Higher carbon dioxide concentration boosts crop yield in two ways,” she said. “It will increase the rate of photosynthesis, which spurs growth and reduces the amount of water lost through evapotranspiration.” Water demand and consumption affects crop yield and production from germination to harvest stage, but other factors also affect crop yield, such as soil nutrients, tillage, irrigation, date of planting and harvesting. Water, temperature, solar

radiation, air humidity, carbon dioxide and soil type also affect crop growth. “We cannot look just at water,” she said. “These are interacting components that contribute to crop production.” The study is based on more carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere because of human activities, but other influences can affect climate and this needs more work, she said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

A better harvest.

However, infection levels have been on the rise since 2007, and 2016 was a terrible year BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Alberta’s fusarium graminearum levels are much lower compared to Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but the disease is starting to spread throughout the province. It was not an issue in 2007 for Alberta, but since then it has increased and the heavy moisture conditions of 2016 resulted in the worst year ever for disease. About 20 percent of samples were positive, said Trevor Blois of 20/20 Seeds Labs, a private accredited testing laboratory that offers a range of tests for seed quality, germination, purity, vigour and disease. The average percentage of infection across all the crops grown in Alberta is low. In 2007, only .3 percent of the total samples tested positive, while 2013 and 2016 saw a rise because of higher precipitation. “This year (2017) was lower than we have ever seen it in any previous years,” Blois said at the Western Barley Growers Association annual meeting held in Calgary March 7-8. “About .1 percent of all seeds tested positive across the province.” The laboratory examines samples of 200 seeds and can conduct plate tests as well as DNA analysis. Fusarium graminearum looks different from other species under

the microscope. It is also a greater problem because it is responsible for elevated levels of the mycotoxin vomitoxin (DON) or severe head blight. The disease has been detected throughout the province at very low levels depending on the year and moisture levels. The company has been tracking disease susceptibility among crops. Durum is most susceptible, and higher levels of the disease were found in the far southern regions of Alberta, where the crop is grown extensively. Barley is less susceptible but once infected, the disease can be severe. “Barley is more resistant than wheat,” Blois said. “If we look at the positives interestingly, it is consistently higher than the wheat, so it seems like barley is less likely to get an infection, but once it does, it seems it is a higher percentage of infection.” Corn is a significant host because the stubble takes longer to break d ow n . Mo re f u s a r i u m c o u l d appear in areas where corn is grown.

Researchers use non-GMO to modify alfalfa Agriculture Canada scientists hope that the genome editing method will allow forages to be more marketable BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

LEDUC, Alta. — Researchers are in the preliminary stages of potentially modifying forages like alfalfa and sainfoin, using a method they say is not likely to scare off GMO opponents. Stacy Singer, a molecular breeder in Lethbridge with Agriculture Canada, is part of the team conducting the project. She said the goal is to create alfalfa and sainfoin with higher yields, better resistance to drought and floods, and higher leaf lipid content, which could reduce methane. “While producers would be hap-

py with more yield, we need to grow more on less land, reduce methane emissions and respond to climate change,” Singer explained, follow-

ing her presentation at the Alberta Forage Industry Network’s meeting in Leduc, Alta. earlier this month. “The future of this program is obviously going to evolve, so it’s important for me to have these discussions directly with producers and industry to find out what they want, as well.” Singer said researchers are preparing to analyze alfalfa while the project waits for more funding. They plan on first trying to modify it by using what’s called the transgenic method, but in the future, they plan to modify it through a process called genome editing.

“You could look at genome editing as precision gene surgery,” she said. “Very small changes are being made.” She said genome editing is more beneficial than traditional genetic modification methods for a number of reasons. Genome editing doesn’t have potential toxicity and allergenic risks that the transgenic method can produce. As well, she said genome editing doesn’t have that ‘GMO’ label attached to it. For instance, she said many European countries that are a nt i - t ra n s g e n i c a re O K w i t h genome editing, so products produced through genome editing would be easier to sell. “It (the genome editing method) is more marketable,” she said. “It could make the difference of something being not accepted and

accepted, so I want these things to be completely accepted everywhere so we don’t have to worry in terms of exports.” C r i s p r, t h e m o s t c o m m o n genome editing method, uses an enzyme to cut DNA at a targeted point, affecting only that part of the DNA sequence. Singer said scientists must make extra effort to educate the public about the process. “When GMOs came on the market, scientists didn’t educate people and no one really told them about it so many thought, ‘this must be bad,’ ” she said. “And a lot of the traits were for profit more than for consumers, so that created some skepticism. So, we have to try to do things differently this time.” jeremy.simes@producer.com

Carbon credit scheme proposed for forages Goal is to prevent the loss of pastureland to development by offering compensation BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

Organizations are stepping up lobby efforts to convince the Alberta government that a carbon credit program for pastureland is needed. A partnership has developed between Pachaterrae, a group that helps farmers measure carbon in soils, and the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI), a notfor-profit organization that tracks wildlife and their habitats. Kimberly Cornish, co-founder of Pachaterrae, said the organizations are working together so Pachaterrae can convince the province to create an offset program for pastureland. She said ABMI will provide maps with data that indicate where the soil carbon is, and Pachaterrae will use that data to determine where they should collect samples. They would like to do tests this summer, particularly on land that hasn’t been tilled for decades and is surrounded by cropland. “We would like to sample them and then sample neighbouring farms to see the difference in carbon,” she said. “They (people with pastureland) know they’ve had good results, but we need to really see those differences to quantify it. We would then like to give the Alberta government an idea of how much carbon is actually being sequestered.” Many groups, particularly ones that represent forages and grazing, have long been pushing for a similar credit program. They say pastureland is under threat of being developed, arguing it’s easy to sell to developers or farmers looking to grow crops because there’s more money in that. As well, ripping up pastureland creates problems related to climate change. When it’s tilled, carbon is released into the atmosphere, adding to emissions rather

than absorbing them. But if a compensation program was in place, forage groups argue that perhaps less pastureland would be plowed. As well, some farmers might be convinced to grow perennials. “We’ve seen through a lot of studies that pastures hold a lot more carbon and sequester a lot more carbon,” said Amber Kenyon, who runs Greener Pastures Ranching near Busby, Alta. “That’s better for the environment, better for wildlife and keeps producers wanting their land in forage.” While it’s been tricky to convince the government in the past, Cornish said a program like this wouldn’t be a novelty. She pointed out that there’s already a similar program in Australia, which has been in place since 2011. She said it would be a good time for Alberta to get on board. The province and the federal government have committed to reducing emissions, so it would make sense for them to use soil carbon as a way to show they’re offsetting emissions, she said. As well, soil-sampling technology is more attainable because costs are going down. “I know a lot of people aren’t big fans of the NDP or the Liberals, but there’s a high responsiveness from these governments around these issues,” she said. “We’re hoping we have a compelling enough story. There’s more focus on reaching targets for emissions than there was 10 years ago.” Renato Gandia, press secretary to provincial Agriculture Minister O’neil Carlier, said in an email that the Alberta Climate Change Office hasn’t received an intent to develop such program but those interested in developing one can submit a request. The climate change office would then review it and decide whether to proceed. jeremy.simes@producer.com

Sask., Ottawa continue tussle over carbon tax directive BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The first meeting between Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, unsurprisingly, did not result in an agreement on carbon pricing. Saskatchewan continues to oppose a carbon tax and is the only province that hasn’t signed the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change. The province is currently consulting on the climate resilience plan it presented last December, saying there are better ways to reduce carbon output than a tax. But Public Safety Minister and R e g i n a - Wa s c a n a M P R a l p h Goodale, who was also in the March 9 meeting in Regina, suggested the province could work within the federal plan to its residents’ advantage. For example, he told reporters carbon tax revenue could be used to permanently reduce property tax on farmland. He said that would be popular in rural Saskatchewan. “Most farmers are practicing zero till and have for a long time and are therefore creating a significant amount of carbon sink capacity simply by the way they farm their land,” he said. “You could reward that and provide an incentive to do even more of that, or use crop rotations that lock certain chemicals in the soil and so forth.”

Reducing income tax or PST or cutting royalties are other options, Goodale said. Systems that exempt virtually all the cost on farmland or junior oil and gas companies can be devised, he said. Moe said the issue was discussed during the meeting and Saskatchewan continues to focus on real reductions. “We did have a discussion with respect to agriculture and carbon sinks, and more specifically to the opportunity of taking some of the technology and knowledge that we have in zero till, carbon capture and storage and such, and exporting that to other places around the world, where I’ve always put forward is the real opportunity,” the premier said. The leaders also talked about equivalency agreements on coalfired electricity generation and methane emissions. “Those equivalency agreements are paramount in us achieving some of the targets that we’ve put forward,” Moe said. Meanwhile, the recent Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting endorsed several carbon and climate change resolutions put forward by the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan. APAS president Todd Lewis said Sa s k at c h e w a n n e e d s t o t a k e research further. For example, one resolution

called on CFA to lobby the federal government for funding to expand the Prairie Soil Carbon Balance Project to Manitoba and Alberta, and to include measurements of crop rotations, forages and grasslands in the project. The project is one of the longest running on carbon sequestration; it has been sampling fields in Saskatchewan since 1997 to measure changes from direct seeding. Other resolutions ask for research into crop varieties that would increase carbon sequestration through innovation such as larger root mass and increased photosynthesis, and measuring agricultural carbon sinks. “The biggest thing we see with the Saskatchewan plan is the concept of offsets,” Lewis said. “Canada needs the offsets.” Member organizations agreed to support developing voluntary carbon offset programs that, among other things, provide a fair price to producers for voluntary sequestration or emission reductions, allow aggregation and stacking of credits, and provide support to existing sinks such as wetlands and grasslands. Lewis said in many other provinces, agriculture hasn’t been well served by carbon plans, resulting in unintended consequences, such as greenhouse operations moving south to the United States.

System maps out best bio-energy sites in Alta. Called BRIMS, the application tells investors how much agriculture supply there is to help decision making BY JEREMY SIMES EDMONTON BUREAU

Companies looking to invest in biofuels or other bio-resources can now more easily look for places to set up in Alberta, thanks to a new online resource. The application, called the BioResource Information Management System, or BRIMS for short, was developed by Alberta Innovates, an arms-length government agency, and Silvacom, a consulting

and software company that deals with land management. The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute and Agriculture Financial Services Corp. also contributed data to BRIMS. “Investors want to know where they should put a facility and how much supply of products is around it,” said Chris Lang, vice-president of business development with Silvacom. “You need to know these questions when setting up a new industry and this application provides

those answers.” For example, if investors wanted to open a facility that deals with bioresources, the application would tell them how much straw, canola or wood fibres are produced in an area. If there’s enough of those products being produced, then they might feel confident enough to invest there. “They could see how much of something is being produced, as well as see that there might be a forestry mill nearby for residue,”

Lang said. “They could also see if there’s a waste disposal site nearby and tap into that opportunity for their green energy site.” As well, the application addresses potential environmental issues. It gives investors a sense of which development sites would have negative impacts on water or wildlife. “There’s value in providing clean drinking water, carbon sequestration and pollination,” said John Peters, the director of energy and environment w ith Silvacom.

WINNIPEG (CNS Canada) — A better quality Canadian grain crop in 2017 has opened the door to increased imports of distillers dried grains with solubles from the United States as Canadian livestock feeders look for other options.

Canada) this year just because of the improved quality (Canada) had with its wheat and barley,” said Sean Broderick, DDGS marketing manager with CHS Inc. in Minnesota, noting that there were smaller domestic supplies of feed wheat and barley in Canada this year. He said the profitability of feeding cattle and hogs in Canada also looks good. Canada accounted for six percent of all U.S. DDGS exports in 2017, which compares with four percent the previous two years, said Broderick. Mexico is the largest single customer for U.S. DDGS, with Asia also presenting opportunities. Broderick said protectionist threats from the White House raises some concerns for the DDGS export sector, as protectionist trade policies likely reduce interest in sourcing from the U.S. DDGS are looking attractively priced compared to soybean meal but are trading above corn, said Broderick. Ethanol facilities typically take some downtime at this time of year ahead of the summer driving season when demand typically increases, which could mean a seasonal slowdown in DDGS supplies over the next few weeks.

BROOKS, Alta. — A proposal to modernize the fee structure for Alberta grazing leases remains in provincial government hands as leaseholders await developments. Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association chair Pat Rutledge told those at the group’s annual meeting March 7 that the proposal approved by this group and four others with an interest in lease rates has been submitted. AGLA members passed a resolution to lobby Alberta Environment and Parks to implement the proposal for the 2019 grazing season. Mike Alexander of the department’s range resource program said all sitting MLAs have been informed of the proposal. It involves a new fee system that would fluctuate with the cattle market and would establish minimum per-animal-unit fees in each of two zones within the province. The AGLA, Alberta Beef Producers, Western Stock Growers Association and the northern and central grazing associations were prompted to devise a new plan after a 2015 Alberta auditor general’s report raised questions about rates and revenues. The rates have not been updated since 1994. If approved by government, new rates would likely be phased in over a five-year period. As recently proposed, those in the south zone would have seen rental rates of $3.26 per animal unit month (AUM) in the first year, gradually rising to $7.10 over a fiveyear period. Those in the north would have initially paid $2.04 per AUM, rising to $4.99 over five years. Under the plan now before government, rates would rise in times of higher cattle market profitability and drop in the opposite scenario, although there would still be a minimum rent. Rates would be based on a two-year rolling average and use a specific calculation to avoid extreme rate changes in either direction. barb.glen@producer.com

Lies spread faster online than the truth: study MIT research may explain why it can be hard to change people’s minds on the safety of GM food and pesticides BY ROBERT ARNASON WINNIPEG BUREAU

As it turns out, there’s a reason why some people believe that vaccines cause autism, exposure to glyphosate causes Alzheimer’s disease and genetically modified food causes allergies. The reason is that lies spread faster than truth, especially on social media. In a paper published March 8 in the journal Science, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that untruths posted on Twitter spread more rapidly and reached many more people than true information. “We found that falsehood diffuses significantly farther, faster, deeper and more broadly than the truth in all categories of information and in many cases by an order of magnitude,” said Sinn Aral, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and co-author of the paper. Aral and his MIT colleagues studied how truth and lies spread online by looking at the diffusion of 126,000 true and false stories posted on Twitter from 2006-17. They determined what was “true” and “false” using six independent fact checking organizations, including snopes.com and hoaxslayer.com. False information on politics dominated the study, but the researchers also looked at false

information in the areas of terrorism, business, science and entertainment. “False news stories are 70 percent more likely to be retweeted than true stories are,” said an MIT news release on the study. “It also takes true stories about six times as long to reach 1,500 people as it does for false stories to reach the same number of people.” In addition to tracking the online dispersal of lies, the MIT researchers wanted to know why false information reach more people than truth. They looked at the role of bots, or software that autonomously does things on social media such as retweeting and liking posts on Twit-

ter. They found that bots play a minimal role in spreading lies. It’s mostly humans who spread lies online. “False news is more novel and people are more likely to share novel information,” Aral said, adding people gain status on social media by posting new information, regardless if it’s true or false.

“People who share novel information are seen as being in the know,” Aral added. The MIT study may explain why it’s become so difficult to change people’s minds when it comes to things like the safety of GM food and pesticides. In the last five to seven years, communication experts have encouraged farmers and ag industry reps to use social media to educate the public on GM crops and other technologies used in modern agriculture. Those efforts may have changed a few minds, but the MIT study suggests that false information about agriculture has more influence on

Twitter and Facebook. For instance, GM crops have been around for more than two decades, but the technology remains a polarizing issue. Public polling in North America continues to show that only 40 to 50 percent of people believe that GM food is safe to eat. Those numbers are incredibly low because the vast majority of scientists say GM food is safe. A Pew research poll from 2015 that surveyed American scientists found that almost 90 percent of respondents said GM food is safe to eat. robert.arnason@producer.com

TOUGH ON WEEDS.

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Recent snowfall has raised the prospects for near normal runoff in parts of Saskatchewan. The Water Security Agency in its updated spring runoff outlook March 13 said between 20 and 45 centimetres of snow March 3-5 changed initial projections for a below normal runoff. “Assuming near normal conditions going forward to the melt, a band stretching through the North Battleford, Saskatoon, Regina and Yorkton areas are now expected to receive a near normal snowfall runoff, as is anticipated in the northern boreal forest area,” the agency said. Above normal runoff is expected in the Prince Albert, Hudson Bay and Nipawin areas, as well as the extreme southwestern corner and Buffalo Narrows in the northwest. Flooding is not anticipated, the agency said. Areas that could still use snow or rain include the band from Kindersley through Swift Current and Moose Jaw and down to Estevan. The agency added that all major water supply reservoirs should have adequate supplies in 2018, and good flow on the South Saskatchewan River system is expected due to above average snowpack in the Rocky Mountains. karen.briere@producer.com

MEETING OF THE MINDS

U.S. farmers say steel tariffs are ‘disastrous’ BY ROBERT ARNASON WINNIPEG BUREAU

American farmers are angry at Donald Trump. On March 8, farm organizations such as the American Soybean Association, the National Corn Growers Association and the National Association of Wheat Grower, all released statements condemning the U.S. president’s decision to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. The soybean association used particularly strong language in its statement, saying the decision was a “disastrous course of action.” “(The tariffs) may lead to retalia-

tion by one or more of our valuable trading partners, which in turn will kneecap demand for soybeans in a time when the farm economy is struggling. We have heard directly from the Chinese that U.S. soybeans are prime targets for retaliation.” Trump signed an order March 8 to slap tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on imported aluminum. Canada and Mexico will be temporarily exempt from the tariffs, provided the renegotiations for the North American Free Trade Agreement reach a satisfactory conclusion, Trump said. U.S. ag industry reps have been arguing for weeks that the tariffs will have horrific consequences for American farmers because other nations will retaliate with their own tariffs, most likely on agricultural commodities. Trump has defended the tariffs with a national security argument, saying the steel and aluminum industries are crucial for the U.S. military. In an opinion piece published in The Hill, a Washington, D.C., publication, two wheat growers said other countries could also use that logic to defend tariffs on food. “It’s not a difficult argument for a wheat importer to say that if America needs domestic steel to build ships and tanks, they need domestic wheat to feed their soldiers,” said Dave Milligan and Doug Goyings, who farm in Michigan and Ohio. “The opportunities to restrict trade for national security reasons will only be as limited as the protectionist’s imagination. That will truly erode global trade rules as imitators demand protection throughout the world.” Other groups in America’s ag industry voiced similar opinions, noting that U.S. farmers operate in a global market. “We have tremendous concern about the global ramifications of any new tariffs on ag exports,” said Tom Sleight, U.S. Grains Council chief executive officer. “Our products can compete on price and quality anywhere in the world, but the domino effects of new tariffs could make that much, much harder.” The National Corn Growers released a carefully worded statement, criticizing the tariffs but also expressing hope that the Trump administration will help minimize the potential impact on farmers. The soybean association was less tactful, likely because the U.S. exports $14 billion in soybeans to China. The Chinese could impose tariffs on American soybeans or simply choose to buy more beans from South America. “The idea that we’re the only game in town, and these partners have no choice but to purchase from the U.S., is flatly wrong. Our competition in Brazil and Argentina is eager to capitalize on whatever openings these tariffs create for them in markets like China and elsewhere,” the soybean association said. “There is absolutely a way to encourage growth in domestic industry without cannibalizing the success of agricultural trade. “ robert.arnason@producer.com

Oil, corn tout duelling biofuel studies in U.S. Both sectors are attempting to persuade the American government to rule their way on biofuel blending credits NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters) — Big oil and big corn are touting opposing studies on proposed biofuel policy reforms under consideration by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. It illustrates part of an ongoing clash between the two sides over the future of Washington’s biofuel program. Valero Energy Corp, a major oil refiner, funded a study by Charles River Associates that supports placing a cap on the price of biofuel blending credits under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), a change meant to help refiners, who complain the RFS now costs them a fortune. A rival report from Iowa State University, said such a cap on credits would backfire by eroding U.S. demand for corn-based ethanol and potentially lowering corn prices, already under pressure from a supply glut. The corn industry did not directly fund the Iowa State study, but does provide funding to the university. The studies are meant to inform the administration’s deliberations on how, and if, to reform the

Bunge pushed to consider potential sale CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. agricultural investor Continental Grain Co. plans to push Bunge Ltd. to consider a potential sale, a person familiar with the matter said March 5, after Archer Daniels Midland Co. approached Bunge about a takeover. It was unclear how Continental Grain would pressure Bunge, one of the world’s top agricultural merchants. But the company, which invests in the farm and food industry, has increased a stake in Bunge to more than one percent, the source said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. On March 5, the United States Federal Trade Commission confirmed Continental Grain owned Bunge shares, without specifying how many. The consumer protection agency granted Continental Grain approval to increase its position, a filing that signals the company will actively engage with Bunge management. Continental Grain’s “focus is on the path to maximize value, including the potential sale” of Bunge, the source said. Bunge, which has a market capitalization of about $10.6 billion, declined to comment. Shares rose 3.8 percent to $77.99. The company, founded in 1818 in the Netherlands, is the world’s top industrial producer of soybean meal and soybean oil and has a major presence in South America. But declining profits have made it vulnerable to a takeover. Bunge and r ival grain merchants such as ADM have struggled as a global oversupply of food commodities has made it tough to turn a profit on their core businesses.

RFS, which has become a major point of tension between two of Trump’s most important constituencies. The RFS requires oil refiners to blend increasing amounts of biofuels, mainly corn-based ethanol, into the fuel supply each year, or buy the renewable fuel credits, called RINs, from other companies that do the blending. The regulation was introduced during the administration of President George W. Bush to help farmers, cut petroleum imports, and improve air quality. But a s u r g e i n t h e p r i c e o f R I Ns i n recent years has upset merchant refiners who say the policy now

costs them hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Trump waded into the debate earlier this month, urging representatives of both sides to accept a compromise deal that caps prices for the credits while also removing seasonal limits on high-ethanol blend gasolines to expand the biofuels market. A cap would control costs for small refiners and help them stay afloat, said Brendan Williams, vice-president of government relations for refining company PBF Energy. The biofuels industry likes the idea of expanding high-ethanol blend gasoline sales, but has

pushed back on the idea of a cap. “The RFS is a well-designed program,” said Brooke Coleman, head of the Advanced Biofuels Business Council. “Part of the whole mechanism working is that the price of RINs may go up, and so you should go long on biofuels.” “It’s a strategy to kill the RFS and to kill the economic incentive to blend,” said Coleman, referring to a 10-cent cap. Trump has not pushed a particular price level for the proposed RIN price cap, but Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, an advocate for the refining industry, has called for a limit of 10 cents per RIN, a fraction of their current value.

The Iowa State study said such a cap would translate to 4.6 percent less ethanol blending in 2018. And without an increase in exports, that would mean a drop in corn prices, too. The Valero-funded study, on the o t h e r ha n d , s a i d a p r i c e c a p “could alleviate several of the most pressing issues with the RFS” while also continuing to incentivize investment in ethanol blending. In January, refiner Philadelphia Energy Solutions blamed its bankruptcy on RINs. Bad deals and large investor payouts also played key roles in its collapse, Reuters reported.

Bunge’s Argentine plants behind ADM bid Soybean crushing facilities are said to be the key reason why Archer Daniels Midland is attempting to take over Bunge ROSARIO, Argentina/CHICAGO, (Reuters) — On the banks of the Parana River, machines hum 24 hours a day in Argentina’s grain ports, churning out soybean-based animal feed and shooting it straight into the hulls of ships bound for buyers worldwide. The wind stirs up fine meal dust, creating a protein-filled haze. Rosario is the biggest soybean-crushing hub in the Americas, where 22 plants process 157,500 tonnes of soybeans per day into soybean oil and feed that fattens livestock in markets from the United Kingdom to Indonesia. These plants are a key reason why top United States grains merchant Archer Daniels Midland Co. is attempting a takeover of longtime rival and soybean-crushing powerhouse Bunge Ltd., industry executives, analysts and grains trading sources said. The deal, estimated at US$16 billion, would be the biggest ever by one of the world’s four agricultural trading giants. ADM and Bunge are the “A” and “B” of the so-called “ABCD” group of firms that dominate global grains trading, along with Cargill and Louis Dreyfus. ADM’s advance on the financially faltering Bunge reflects larger profit pressures across the grains sector amid a global glut now entering its fifth year, holding commodity prices at sustained multi-year lows. Such conditions are widely expected to drive a wave of consolidation among agricultural firms. ADM is the only one of the ABCDs that has no crushing capacity in Argentina, where Bunge has four plants. “Where is the value in Bunge from ADM’s point of view? It is in South America, including crushing and elevator capacity in Argentina,” said a Buenos Aires market source with knowledge of the situation. ADM would also take on Bunge assets in Brazil, which include factories, mills, silos, distribution centres and port terminals. Bunge is bigger

than ADM in Brazil, as well as in Argentina. Juan Luciano, the Argentina-born chief executive officer of U.S.-based ADM, told investors this month that ADM aims “to plug holes in our value chain”, although he made no refere n c e t o re p o r t s t h e f i r m ha s approached Bunge. “The hole in their value chain is called Argentina because ADM hasn’t any crushing facilities here,” said Buenos Aires-based August Remijsen, former Southern Cone chief executive officer of trading group Toepfer, which was recently absorbed by ADM. “The most efficient crushers in the world are located in Argentina.” Representatives of ADM and Bunge declined to comment on the reported merger talks.

year turned down overtures from Switzerland-based Glencore. Argentina is the world’s top exporter of soybean meal and soybean oil, used for cooking and making biodiesel. Most is shipped from Rosario, located in the Pampas farm belt. The nation’s massive soybean crushers and grain elevators are next to the deeply dredged Parana. The set-up offers logistical advantages over the U.S. and Brazil, where moving grain involves more costly ground transportation and loading products on and off barges. Bunge, founded in 1818 in the Netherlands, is the world’s top industrial producer of soybean meal and soybean oil. However, declining profits have made the storied firm

vulnerable to a takeover, analysts said. “It’s the inexorable path ahead” because of the erosion in Bunge’s earnings, said Pablo Adreani, head of Argentine farm industry consultancy Agripac. Argentina has launched reforms meant to attract foreign investors under business-friendly President Mauricio Macri, who is lowering export taxes on soybean meal and soybean oil. Bunge exported 11.2 percent of the 32.8 million tonnes of soybean meal shipped from Argentina last year and 7.8 percent of the 5.9 million tonnes in vegetable oils, according to agriculture ministry data. About 60 percent of Argentine soybean oil went to India and Bangladesh last year, emerging markets where ADM is keen to increase access. Soybean meal was destined mainly for Vietnam, Indonesia, the United Kingdom and Italy. ADM exported 9.1 percent of the overall 47.9 million tonnes of raw grains shipped from Argentina in 2017, close to Bunge’s 9.7 percent. A combination of the two firms would be Argentina’s No. 1 raw grains exporter, a title currently held by COFCO-Nidera, which combined early last year to capture 17 percent of the market. Under this scenario, Dreyfus would be left in the dust with 9.5 percent of the 2017 raw grains export market. But the ADM-Bunge tie-up could face regulatory scrutiny in the U.S., where ADM is already the largest grain merchant. The biggest overlap between ADM and Bunge in the U.S. is in grain origination and oilseeds processing. Regulators could force ADM to divest substantial assets as a condition of approval, according to antitrust experts. The firms would have to overcome opposition from U.S. farmers who fear that giving more market share to ADM could hurt wheat, corn and soybean prices, said Peter Carstensen, who teaches antitrust

law at the University of Wisconsin Law School. The deal could also face opposition from farmer groups in key agricultural markets, including the European Union, China, India and Brazil, he said. Regulators in Argentina would also have to approve any deal. A spokesperson for the country’s regulators declined to comment on the matter. Ocean-going vessels can reach the crushing plants that dot the banks of the Parana because the river is dredged to a depth of at least 10 metres from the port of Timbues, just north of Rosario, to Buenos Aires, 460 kilometres to the south.

Bunge can process 18,000 tonnes of soybeans at its Rosario-area facilities every day, according to the local grains exchange. At the current export price, that means Bunge can crush $7.3 million worth of soybeans in 24 hours. Despite the industry’s sustained bout with oversupply and low prices, the soybean meal business has room to grow, said Adreani. That’s because a growing world population, now approaching eight billion, will continue to drive demand for meal-fed beef and pork, he said. “ADM is looking at the advantage it would have over the 15 or 20 years ahead,” Adreani said. “It’s a smart strategy.”

Cull Bull Incentive Program

This year we’re offering the best cull bull incentive program you will find anywhere. With the cull bull market down a bit from previous years we are going to help you get the most out of those old broken, down worn out bulls. Why take a chance on bunch of open cows this fall when you can replace them with fresh strong new bulls. All you have to do is email us prior to the bull sale or bring a copy of your bill of sale from the auction market after selling your cull bulls and you will receive a $500 credit on each new replacement bull you buy. (eg: If you cull 5 bulls you will receive a $500 deduction for each of the 5 replacement bulls you buy.) Credits must be used on a per bull basis and you cannot use more than 1 credit toward a new bull.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 22, 2018

China hog prices plunge after barn boom A rapid expansion of large hog farms in the country has outpaced demand, driving down prices and slowing imports BEIJING, China (Reuters) — Chinese pig prices hit their lowest in nearly four years during the week ending March 9, plunging farmers there into the red. The situation underscored concerns that a rapid expansion of large pig farms in China has outpaced demand growth. The sudden downturn, one of the steepest declines over such a short period ever, will mark the first serious test for many companies that have rushed into pig farming in the last two years. It will also slow imports of pork by the world’s top buyer, traders and analysts say. The price is set to recover when demand picks up later in the year but will come under renewed pressure in 2019 as more new farms start production, analysts say. Live pig prices are now hovering just above 11 yuan (C$2.23) per kilogram in major producing areas. That’s below average production costs, after plunging more than 20 percent from early January when they were close to 16 yuan (C$3.24) per kg. “The reason is very clear. There are a lot of pigs on the market,” said Feng Yonghui, chief researcher at trade website Soozhu.com. The sudden plunge in prices is the result of conflicting trends in the industry over the last year. On the one hand, big producers have

Chinese hog prices are expected to recover later this year before falling again. | FILE PHOTO expanded rapidly to grow market share, but on the other, a government crackdown on pollution that intensified in 2017 shut many small farms, making it difficult to get an accurate picture of supply. Monthly government data continues to show a drop in the number of breeding pigs, suggesting supply has not yet caught up with demand. That kept market prices high throughout the winter and led Beijing to release some pork from its reserves. Though volumes released were small, it was another signal of insufficient supply that “misled” the market, said Pan Chenjun, senior analyst at Rabobank. Abundant supplies became evident in the run-up to mid-February’s Lunar New Year festivities, China’s peak pork consumption period. “Slaughterhouses took advan-

tage of the increased supply to set prices, which led to growing price pressure in the market,” said Feng. Prices in February in seven major provinces fell at their fastest pace going back to 2012. In some regions, farmers are struggling to sell their pigs at prices as low as 10.2 yuan per kg. A small farmer from Daqing city in northeastern Heilongjiang province said she now has pigs weighing 140 kg, well over average slaughter weights of 110 kg as they grow fatter on the farm instead of heading to the slaughterhouse. “Now, two pigs sold at the current price account for the costs I spend on raising one pig,” said Wang. She declined to give her full name. Large players are losing money too. Costs at Muyuan Foods Co. Ltd., China’s No. 2 pig producer, are around 11.5 yuan per kg, chair Qin

Yinglin said on the sidelines of China’s annual parliament meeting. Plentiful supplies will curb appetite for overseas pork, extending last year’s slowdown in purchases. China imported 1.2 million tonnes of pork last year, down 25 percent on the previous year. “With the large drop in domestic pig prices, the space for imported pork is less and less,” said Feng. For now, most farmers are preparing to ride out the downturn, betting on a rebound in a few months’ time. “Losses are temporary. It won’t go too far or too long,” said Qin. Muyuan w ill not change its growth plans, he added. It aims to

i n c re a s e t h e nu m b e r o f p i g s slaughtered to 12 million this year up from last year’s seven million. Wen Pengcheng, former chair of top producer Guangdong Wen’s Foodstuff, also shrugged off the impact of low prices, saying the firm’s production will rise this year by 15 to 20 percent. A prolonged downturn could hit some less efficient producers, however, with major repercussions for the global grains sector. China buys 60 percent of the world’s soybeans to feed its livestock. “This year, big farms can still make some margins but next year probably everyone will make losses,” said Pan at Rabobank.

Technology targets spray control BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A dealer network is being established in Canada to install, sell and support a spraying system that senses and sprays individual weeds on a broad-acre scale. Andries Mellema said he holds the exclusive rights in Canada to the WEEDit system through Tramontana Agro Technologies. “We are focused first on the market in Western Canada…,” he said. So far, they have established dealerships near Medicine Hat and Stettler in Alberta, and Swift Current, Sask. They are also exploring the possibility of dealerships in Manitoba and Ontario. So far, five units have been sold in Canada, and the company is targeting sales of 10 units in 2018 and 20 the following year. “I would like to see one major dealership able to do the installation per (prairie) province and then a number of other dealerships to support sales and service in those provinces,” Mellema said. Mellema wants to eventually sell 20 WEEDit spraying systems per year in each of the prairie provinces. Travis Albrecht bought the first WEEDit system in Canada for his John Deere 4720 with a 100-foot boom, and he’s now in charge of distributing the product in the Medicine Hat region. “I’m the only guy in Canada who k n ow s h ow t o p u t t h e m o n ,” Albrecht said. “It’s an in-depth install, for sure. We’re actually just finishing installing a system on a 4940 right now, then doing two Patriots after that, then a R4045.” He said WEEDit enabled huge chemical savings for his 12,000acre farm last year. “At pre-seed burn-off, we saved 40 percent of our glyphosate using it, and then in the fall, we saved 87 percent of our glyphosate on the fall burn-off,” Albrecht said. “Basically, $80,000 in the fall is what we saved and close to $40,000 in the spring.” Albrecht was able to use a tankmix product to target thistles last autumn that would have been costprohibitive without WEEDit’s ability to target individual weeds because a blanket spray requires much more chemical per acre. “It allowed us in the fall to spray Lontrel, to get Canada thistle, where before we wouldn’t because it’s over $20 an acre,” Albrecht said. “Now, we can add this stuff because it’s not getting sprayed on the dirt. It’s just getting sprayed on the weeds.” He said he was impressed with the performance of his WEEDitequipped sprayer. “We blanket-sprayed some in the spring right up against where the WEEDit was going, and you couldn’t’ tell the difference,” Albrecht said.

The WEEDit system has red lights on the sprayer’s booms that shine ahead of where the sprayer is travelling. The chlorophyll in the plants shifts the frequency of this light, and sensors on the boom detect the change. The high energy LED lights illuminate weeds with a leaf diameter as small as 25 millimetres. Each sensor monitors a onemetre section of the infrared light that is bounced off the ground ahead of the sprayer boom. The sensor divides the one-metre length that it’s responsible for into five lanes, and each of these 20 centimetre lanes have a nozzle dedicated to spraying any of the weeds detected within the lane. When the sensor detects a plant, it automatically activates the spray nozzle. The sensor samples the ground 40,000 times per second and allows the sprayer to spray up to 25 km-h. Spray expert Tom Wolf witnessed the WEEDit in action at a field day last summer and he said we’ve moved past the question of whether WEEDit works, because it’s proven technology that’s being widely used in Australia. The question now is how to best use this system in the context of Canadian agriculture. “In Western Canada, we use a blend of modes of action in our preseed burn off and in some cases they’re residual. Heat is a little residual, even Express is a little residual. Frontline and PrePass are also a little residual, so we don’t know if we should be applying residuals on a very spotty basis or not,” Wolf said. P re -s e e d b u r n o f f s a re a l s o applied early in the spring, and it’s hard to know how well the WEEDit detects and hits very tiny weeds or how it deals with weeds of the verge of emergence. Wolf said WEEDit does have an option that can help with very small weeds. “It allows you to spray a small continuous dose in the background. So every nozzle is pulsing at a very low duty cycle, and when a weed triggers a sensor, then that sensor comes on full blast. So, your savings are a little bit less, but then you have the assurance that either that the residual is there or that the tiniest weeds are also controlled,” Wolf said. He said it’s safe to do the background spray at a lower dose because the weeds targeted by the background application are very small and easy to kill. The larger weeds will get the full dose. It “will depend a bit on the herbicide mix and we will need to learn along the way and make adjustments. So, there is a place for agronomic research with this unit,” Wolf said. Mellema said he’s interested in having independent research conducted into how to best use WEEDit

on Canadian fields. Wolf said resistance is an inevitable consequence of overuse of herbicide and that technologies like WEEDit may help the industry apply a smarter selection pressure that is more difficult for weeds to react to. He said one of the reasons herbicide resistance is creeping up is because there are economic drivers behind chemical use patterns, and that WEEDit will make more expensive tank mixes possible for growers. “Everyone is talking about multiple effective modes of action that’s preferred to herbicide rotation. It’s possibly slightly better, although I don’t have any data on this, other than doing sequential applications in the same season. A tank mix with multiple modes of action can get

expensive. For that reason, I think it (WEEDit) will be a tool to delay herbicide resistance,” Wolf said. The pulse width modulation of the WEEDit system enables turn compensation, which can also help delay herbicide resistance, but applying sprays at different rates along the boom, to compensate for corners, when the outside of the boom travels farther than the inside. He said WEEDit could also help improve the public’s perception of agriculture. “You don’t have to do any explanation to someone. If it (WEEDit) sees something that needs to be sprayed, it sprays it and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. And that’s intuitively understandable to anybody,” Wolf said. “I would put this on the front pages of everything if you wanted to increase

the public image of agriculture.” It costs $160,000 to install a WEEDit system on a 100-foot sprayer, which means the technology pencils in better for larger farms with large potential chemical savings per year. However, Mellema said there are smaller WEEDit systems for trailerstyle and three-point hitch style sprayers. “We have other systems like the gliders and the tool bars, which is a three-point hitch system, whereby you do a 40 or 60 foot wide boom on a platform good for smaller farms. It’s not as expensive, a more scaled investment,” he said. WEEDit will be on display at canolaPALOOZA this summer. robin.booker@producer.com

Information on Saskatchewan soils collected throughout the 20th century by the provincial soil survey is readily available through a new online platform. The Saskatchewan Soil Information System (SKSIS) was launched during the University of Saskatchewan’s Soils and Crops meeting in Saskatoon by Angela BedardHaughn, head of the department of soil science at the U of S. “Our goal was to make it easier for people to use the existing soil survey information in an online format.” She said the new system makes it easy for people to explore the information and use it to better understand the different soil types in different areas. Bedard-Haughn said users will then be able to look deeper into how they can use the information help with management decisions. The SKSIS started in 2016 as an initiative to enhance the accessibility of the provincial soil survey information, with funding from provincial ministry of agriculture, Saskatchewan Canola and the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers.

Herbicides: Carrying on during and after a drought Whether or not the dry is over, herbicides can still be hanging around PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR, PAg

erbicide carryover should always be a concern following a dry year. Throughout my career, I have seen this issue reoccur after every drought. This makes me think that 2018 could see herbicide carryover issues raise their ugly heads again.

In this column I will discuss why this issue is likely to show up and explain some of the practices you can consider to lessen its impact. Herbicides are broken down in the soil generally by two mechanisms. Many of them are broken down in soil by microbial decomposition. These include products belonging to the IMI class of herbicides, TPS (triazolopyrimidine) herbicides and some HPPD (inhibitors of p-hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase) herbicides. In addition, SUs (sulfonylureas) and triazines are broken down by chemical reactions such as acid hydrolysis.

Some herbicides, such as PPO (protoporphyrinogen oxidase) inhibitors, are broken down by both microbial action and hydrolysis. Soil moisture or lack of it is important in understanding herbicide breakdown because both processes are highly dependent on adequate moisture to work. Herbicide molecules must be free from binding to soil particles or organic matter for soil microorganisms to degrade. Most herbicide molecules are more tightly adsorbed to soil particles in dry soils than moist soils. This shields them from breakdown. In addition, degradation of herbicides in soil is affected by soil pH. For example, acid hydrolysis nearly ceases at a soil pH higher than 6.8. IMIs, which rely on microbial activity and persist much longer in high pH soils, as does flucarbazone-sodium (Everest, Sierra). SUs persist longer under low soil pH. The key time for herbicide breakdown is during the first 60 days following application. This usually coincides with rainfall and warm temperatures, which are perfect conditions for both microbial and chemical breakdown. Temperatures decline as time carries on into the fall, which also reduces the speed of both breakdown mechanisms. The amount of late fall moisture or snow during the winter will have little impact on the amount of herbicide breakdown one can expect the following year. The chart on page 69 illustrates a generalized breakdown scenario for dry and optimal conditions. So what happens when moisture does arrive? The herbicide that is sitting on the clay or organic matter gets flushed off into the soil water. At this point, it is still very much active and able to do what it was made to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kill plants. Last year it was applied to a crop that had tolerance to it. This year it will not only kill weeds but also susceptible crops. It is now in the root zones of these plants and may act very much like the crop has been sprayed with this specific herbicide.

CONCEPTS TO GUIDE CARRYOVER CONCERNS In my experience, the worst-case scenario for crop damage occurs in areas of a field with low organic matter (usually below four percent), where the soil pH is not conducive for that specific herbicide breakdown and when we get a drier period in the spring, followed by a rain. These scenarios occurred in 1990 and 2003. Interestingly, it was newer herbicide chemistry that caused problems in both years. In 1990, it was IMI (imidazolinone) chemistry, specifically Pursuit (imazethapyr), that caused the majority of the problems, and in 2003 it was Sundance (sulfosulfuron) and Everest (flucarbazonesodium). The reason, I feel, is that when new products are developed, the companies have to work with the data they are presented with: no drought and no data of carry-over under drought conditions. As well, company marketing departments are jammed full of eternal optimists. Even when presented with “concerns” from research and development, they tend to look at the glass half full side of the argument and market “sea-

son long control.” Now that you are in the final drafts for crop planning, it is a great time to review the herbicides that you used this past year and make a guesstimate of fields that may pose a risk for herbicide breakdown. Saskatchewan Agriculture has created a great map that illustrates areas where last year’s lack of rainfall warrant concern. A prairie wide map from 2017 showing April 1 to Sept. 11 precipitation, both with this column, gives an idea of where the greatest risks are across the Prairies. While not as accurate or useful as the Saskatchewan map, the precipitation map does give an idea where concerns might be warranted. Those who have on-far m weather stations can get very accurate information by querying rainfall from the date of your application until mid-September to provide very clear pictures of what was happening on their farms. The next issue is what to do if you suspect you have crop injur y because of herbicide carryover. The first things to look for are areas of a field that are not emerging while the rest of the field looks

nor mal. If these patches are observed, dig into these areas and try to find plants that have not emerged. As well, look for other causes such as cutworms and look for plants that are growing on the patch margin that show symptoms of herbicide damage. An excellent file of herbicide injury photos based on herbicide group can be found at bit.ly/2FAV8Pv. Second observations should be made at about the time for herbicide application. Again, look for patches in the field that show either slow or abnormal growth. Look closely for symptoms. Once you have observed what you think may be carryover injury, contact your herbicide supplier or manufacturer’s rep. Have them come out to look at your field. Make sure you have information available for them to examine such as spray dates, rates, application maps, weather information and any soil tests you may have from the field. With technology being what it is, it’s becoming difficult to find sprayer misses in a field. Look for misses or double application areas from your “as-applied” maps and examine those areas for patterns. And finally, always remember that when going into a year like this, you should hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

• Sunflowers, pulse crops, soybeans, mustard, canola and many forages are all crops that have a high risk of herbicide carryover issues. • Look for recropping restrictions on the product label or your local government Crop Protection Guide. The 2017 ManitobaSaskatchewan book has a very good table on pages 78-79 that show recropping intervals. For example, Authority and Authority Charge have a one year recropping restriction for barley, canola, field corn, wheat and a two year restriction for replanting lentils. However, that being said, the solubility of Authority’s active ingredient, sulfentrazone, increases as soil pH increases above 6.5, as soil texture changes from fine to coarse and as OM decreases. As sulfentrazone’s solubility increases, availability for plant uptake increases, weed control increases and risk of crop injury increases. A wet period following a very dry summer may facilitate these conditions. The approximate ranking of crops from most to least tolerant is soybean, flax, chickpea, mint, sunflower, potato, field pea, dry edible beans, safflower, canola, lentil and sugar beet.

• Avoid applying herbicides with similar modes of action the following year because this may caused increase injury. • Products that may need close examination this spring include: — Ares — Assert/Avert — Authority, Authority Charge — Barricade, Predicade, Retain — Signal FSU, TraxosTwo — Command 360 ME — Curtail M, Momentum, Prestige XC — Edge, trifluralin — Everest/Sierra — Infinity/Tundra/Velocity m3 metsulfuron — Odyssey, Odyssey Ultra — Pursuit/Kamikaze/Phantom/ Gladiator/MultiStar — Pulsar — Triton C • It is usually not one single factor that causes carryover injury to a crop but two or three factors layered on the following crop that results in injury. This may include seeding depth, seed quality and fertilizer placement.

India not a guaranteed market for pulses The Indian government has been placing tariffs on pulse imports over the last few months to help its farmers BY ASHLEY ROBINSON COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

WINNIPEG — Despite positive developments between Canada and India in regards to pulse crops, the chief executive officer of Pulse Canada is warning producers not to rely on India as a market for pulses. “India is not the market that it was eight months ago and it emphasizes the need to find alternate markets,” said Gordon Bacon. “If we just keep pushing the same production into the markets that were already there, all we’re going to do is lower the price on a global basis, not just in India.” Bacon was in India during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit from Feb. 18- 24 and for the India Pulses and Grains Association’s Pulse Conclave from Feb. 14-16, which was attended by representatives from pulse producing countries. Over the last few months, the Indian government has been placing tariffs on pulse imports. First, India placed a 50 percent tariff on pea imports and then a 30 percent tariff on chickpeas and lentils. The chickpea tariff was later raised to 40

percent and then on March 1 it was raised to 60 percent for desi chickpeas. The latest chickpea tariff increase didn’t affect Canada much because Canada mostly grows kabuli chickpeas. “(The tariffs) affect all of us as exporting nations, so that was really where some of the discussion in Canada got a little too narrowly focused because it wasn’t about Canada,” Bacon said. India has applied the tariffs to support its farmers. However

the pulse trade issues with India. “Unlike Canada, what goes on in food prices and agriculture is of an enormous economic and political importance in India,” Bacon said. For years the Canadian pulse industry has been receiving pulse fumigation exemptions. The Indian government requires pulses shipped to the country to be fumigated before arrival. However, the fumigation process doesn’t work well in cold weather and Canada doesn’t have the nematode pest

reports out of India have said domestic pulse prices have been falling below the government’s minimum support price. “Nothing’s going to change in India until domestic prices start to rise and until consumers are the ones out on the street protesting the high prices for pulses,” Bacon said. Trudeau’s visit did help the Canadian pulse industry, according to Bacon. For months the pulse industry has been pushing for federal government intervention over

India is trying to keep out. Trudeau and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed pulses during their meeting in India. A joint release stated the two sides they would work together on an agreement over fumigation and for more transparency and predictability in regards to market access. “We didn’t come home with anything changed (immediately) … but we did come home with a timeline on the fumigation issue and opened the door for some discussion on the food security, transparency and predictability issues,” Bacon said. Other recent developments have been positive for the Canadian pulse industr y, including an increased demand for peas from China and the pet food industry and the announcement that Protein Industries Canada, a prairiebased plant protein research and development organization, had received federal funding. “It’s not any one area. It’s a whole range of things. And I think this is really where the industry has to create additional demand to replace the uncertainty that India now represents,” Bacon said.

Little hope remains for Argentine soybean crop A four-month drought that shows no signs of abating has scorched the crop since November and forced estimates lower BU E N O S A I R E S, A r g e nt i na (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hope has withered for any recovery in Argentine soybean yields hit by a four-month drought that shows no signs of abating, farmers and analysts said recently. The dryness that has blighted the Argentine Pampas region since mid-November has forced producers to slash their estimates for the 2017-18 crop. The light rains forecast would not be enough to restore fields baked by an unrelenting southern hemisphere summer sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current season is dead in terms of crop yields,â&#x20AC;? said German Heinzenknecht, weather specialist with the Applied Climatology consultancy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The showers that are on the way are not going to help soy or corn, but they could improve planting conditions for wheat, which starts being sowed in May.â&#x20AC;? Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2017-18 soybean meal exports are set to nearly double to around two million tonnes, traders said, lifted by lower Argentine supply. Asian countries led by Japan, South Korea and Vietnam are key importers of soymeal.

Argentina is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thirdbiggest exporter of soybeans and corn, as well as the top provider of soy-based livestock feed. Argentine soybean exports are taxed at 28.5 percent, so the fiscal impact of the drought could be hard as President Mauricio Macri prepares to seek re-election next year while trying to cut the budget deficit and fund infrastructure projects. The disaster on the Pampas has exerted upward pressure on soybean and corn futures on the Chicago Board of Trade. Farmers in the U.S. Midwest are scrambling to sell grain that has been held in storage for months to

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might rain on Wednesday but the game is almost over. The impact of the drought will be severe and the area affected is really wide. When you speak with farmers from different areas you realize their fields are almost all in bad condition,â&#x20AC;? Vigneau said. Argentine is expected by the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange to harvest 42 million tonnes of soy and 34 million tonnes of corn in the 201718 season, down from previous estimates of 44 million and 37 million tonnes, respectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The major area affected by the drought in the central and southern part of the farm belt has no chance of recovering yields, even if

it were to start raining,â&#x20AC;? said Esteban Copati, chief analyst at the exchange. When the exchange slashed its estimates it warned that dry, hot conditions in northern provinces could lead to further reductions. The Rosario grains exchange, located near the soymeal and soyoil plants that dot the banks of Parana River, agreed the outlook was â&#x20AC;&#x153;really bad.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, it if rains a lot over the next month all it would do is complicate harvesting. It would be unlikely to help soy and corn yields,â&#x20AC;? said Emilce Terre, head of research at the exchange.

La Nina likely to wane: forecaster (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The current La Nina phase of the climate cycle will most likely transition during the Marchto-May period to ENSO-neutral conditions, a United States government weather forecaster said on March 8, a development that brings equatorial Pacific Ocean temperatures, rainfall patterns and winds closer to average. The ENSO-neutral condition, affected by neither the El Nino nor La Nina climate phenomenon, is expected to last into the second half of 2018, the National Weather Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) said. The CPCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly forecast pegged the chance of ENSO-neutral conditions at about 55 percent during the March-May period. The projection was unchanged from last month when the agency said the La Nina weather cycle was likely to transition into more neutral conditions by spring. La Nina is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean and is linked with floods and droughts. It is the opposite phase of what is known as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. La NiĂąa emerged in 2016 for the first time since 2012, before fading in early 2017. Typically less damaging than El NiĂąo, La NiĂąa tends to occur unpredictably every two to seven years.

take advantage of prices rallying on Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s woes. Analysts have slashed their soybean crop forecasts, which started the season in the range of 55 million tonnes, to below 45 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really awful around here. Yields are just falling and falling,â&#x20AC;? said Pedro Vigneau, who operates a farm in the central Buenos Aires district of Carlos Casares. He now expects to harvest two tonnes of soybeans versus the 3.5 to four tonnes that he expected at the start of the 2017-18 crop year. Vigneau has lowered his farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corn harvest forecast to about half of the eight to nine tonnes estimated at planting.

Swamp fever rearing its head in 2018 There is no cure or vaccine for equine infectious anemia so some horse owners are reluctant to have animals tested SYMPTOMS OF EIA

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

One case of equine infectious anemia, also known as swamp fever, has been found in Alberta within the past month. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed March 1 that a case had been found in a horse in Strathcona County near Edmonton. It is just the most recent incident of a complex disease that confounds horse ow ners in par t because it is sometimes invisibly carried and spread by horses with no symptoms. EIA is a reportable disease and there is no cure or vaccine. The CFIA said the Strathcona case was confirmed Feb. 21 after the affected horse showed signs of the illness. The horse was euthanized and a CFIA investigation is underway. A quarantine has been placed on other horses at the same premises. Equestrian Canada said in a news release that the quarantine would remain until testing of the other animals was complete. A trace-out by the CFIA might involve other horses on other premises. Last year Alberta confirmed EIA at Beaver, Red Deer, Two Hills, Sturgeon, Lacombe and Newell counties. Nine horses were infected. Saskatchewan had cases in two rural municipalities, with eight infected horses in Kinistino and one in Torch River. Manitoba had seven incidents, two of them in the RM of Armstrong that affected 10 animals. The others, infecting a total of seven animals, were in the RMs of St. Clements, St. Andrews, Hanover, Springfield and Rosedale. Over the past six years, Alberta and Saskatchewan have had 86 percent of the positive EIA cases. From 2012-17, Saskatchewan had

The department has thus proposed primary and secondary control zones for EIA, though the exact boundaries have yet to be determined. EIA is transmitted by blood,

through biting insects or needles, syringes and blood-contaminated objects. The difficulties associated with spread by flies in particular means that cases continue to appear across Canada. “It is a terrible disease,” said Bill desBarres, chair of the Horse Wel-

fare Alliance of Canada. The virus can affect donkeys and mules as well as horses, and causes recurrent episodes of fever, lethargy and anemia in affected animals. However, some animals can carry the disease without showing symptoms and act as carriers.

“We have a lot more than we are aware of,” desBarres said about the number of cases. “We have no idea how many positive horses are driving around.” The most common test for EIA is known as the Coggins test, which is required on horses that leave or enter the country. Other than on those occasions, desBarres said many horse owners are reluctant to have their horses tested, fearing a positive result and the subsequent loss of their animals. “We’re trying to get more information out to horse owners so they want to test,” he said. Ideally, owners would have their horses tested whenever they are taken to horse shows or other places where they mingle with other horses. However, there is a cost to the test and results can take two weeks. The Horse Welfare Alliance is seeking ways to improve the practicality of testing and reduce the costs. As for prevention, biosecurity, fly control and using clean needles and other instruments are the only known options. barb.glen@producer.com

Champion beef titles up for grabs at Farmfair Champion of the World event will be held in Edmonton to show international breeders what Canada has to offer BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The champions of the beef world are gathering in Edmonton this fall. Fourteen breeds will be represented at Farmfair International in November where winners of the world championships can visit Edmonton for the Champion of the World competition. Developed by P.J. Budler, the event is intended to showcase outstanding cattle. In the past, the event was held at Fort Worth, Texas, but Budler wanted to gather the winning breeders at Farmfair so they could see what Canada has to offer. “It will be nice to get all the winners from around the world in one place,” he said. “I think Canada is a good venue

because the top cattle in Canada are so much more usable than some places in the world,” he said in an interview. Canadians have won the world championship honours in the past in several different breed categories. This year, a Hereford heifer owned by Blairs.Ag of Lanigan, Sask., was selected as champion female. Named BNC Glenlees 429 Nellie 71D, the female was raised by Glenlees Herefords of Arcola, Sask. She was grand champion polled Hereford at Regina’s Canadian Western Agribition and the fourth Canadian bred and owned female to achieve this award in the last six years. To qualify for the Champion of the World event, the cattle must already be national champions. Originally from South Africa, Budler has judged 30 different

Voluntary programs attempt to control Johne’s disease BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Johne’s disease is a chronic and infectious disease of ruminants that can be a difficult condition to detect. It affects the small intestine, and cattle become increasingly emaciated over time. The bacteria causing the disease hide inside immune cells, making it difficult to detect even with testing of milk, blood or feces. Symptoms start when cattle are two to six years old. They suffer persistent diarrhea and weight loss and do not re s p o n d t o t re a t m e n t . T h e y become weak and die if they are not removed from the herd before that. There are four voluntary prog ra m s i n Ca na d a i n A l b e r t a, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada focusing on education, risk assessment, management and testing in a widespread program that includes farmers, dairy breeds, the beef industry, veterinarians, universities and milk recording through CanWest DHI and Valacta in Quebec. The intention is not to test to eradicate the disease but to control it with management, said Herman Barkema of the University of Calgary’s faculty of veterinary medicine, who is involved in the nation-

al and provincial Johne’s disease programs. “You cannot control Johne’s disease in a couple of years,” he said at the Western Canadian Dairy Seminar held in Red Deer March 6-9. “Our priorities were to increase the education and awareness of Johne’s disease among the producers and veterinarians.” Almost 70 percent of herds participated, and 47 percent of the farms tested had positive samples. “The true percentage of herds that were positive is not that different across the country,” Barkema said. Alberta tested manure samples and Ontario used the milk ELISA tests. The milk ELISA test has more false positive and false negatives. It cannot be assumed the cow is uninfected based on one negative test, but the probability that a cow is uninfected increases slightly with each subsequent negative test. If a single ELISA test is positive, the cow is likely infected. The program has taught the industry some valuable lessons and continuing research is needed. Education is the key, and more workshops are needed to teach farmers and veterinarians about

the disease, said Barkema. “What we need with a disease like that is commitment for the long haul,” he said. “We cannot control Johne’s disease in five years time. It takes five years before an animal gets sick. It takes 10 years to really make a dent in this disease.”

However, studies among producers and veterinarians have shown Johne’s is not high on their list of priorities. A recent national study showed lameness was the number one concern while Johne’s was seventh. For those who did not participate in the program, farmers said

they did not have time, doubted the effectiveness of tests or had no encouragement from veterinarians who were not convinced the program would work. Others said they did not think they had a problem. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Chicken industry faces good news-bad news scenario

Chicken producers seed alternatives Future treatment options are likely to be a combination approach using different methods BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Canadian chicken producers are cutting back on antibiotic use but effective treatment against disease is still needed. The industry stopped using category I antibiotics and are moving toward reducing category II products by the end of this year, said Derek Janzen, vice-chair of Chicken Farmers of Canada. “The burden has been placed squarely on us to make changes,” he said at the Alberta Chicken Farmers annual meeting in Red Deer Feb. 27. The decision is partly related to the concerns connected with more pathogens showing resistance to commonly used drugs. “We have a strong strategy as far as antimicrobial resistance is concerned,” he said. Health Canada ranks antibiotics based on their importance to human medicine, ranging from categories I-IV. Category I is considered of the highest importance to treat serious infections. Category IV is not used in human medicine. Alternatives to these products are available and research trials are ongoing to find effective treatments, said Doug Korver of the University of Alberta Poultr y Research Centre. “My opinion is that there is no one single non-antibiotic product that will do what antibiotics have done,” he said. An antimicrobial drug is used to treat bacterial infections while an antimicrobial agent kills microorganisms or stops their growth. “When we look at products that are meant to replace antibiotics, we always have to be looking forward. We always have to look at what is the mechanism of action, and are we going to run into resistance problems to this new compound five, 10 years down the road,” he said. Copper is an effective antimicrobial agent and is the basis for many hospital disinfectants. In several countries, copper is used as a growth promoter. “The problem is bacteria have mechanisms to become resistant to copper,” Korver said. Future treatment options are likely to be a combination approach with different products and modes of action. They may

Korver has researched immunomodulation. It is an adjustment of the immune response using products like added nutrients or probiotics to make the immune system better. Nutritional modulation is not a blanket protection against all diseases. “In combination with other strategies and other approaches, it will be important but it is not going to solve the problems by itself,” he said. Antibiotics can be effective across many different environments but in the future, treatments may have to be developed for an individual facility. “We are transitioning to a postantibiotic world,” he said. “We will very likely have antibiotics to treat infections but we will not use antibiotics as growth promoters. If we are going to transition and use other strategies, we first have to understand what the problem is. Different problems will require different approaches,” he said.

RED DEER — Chicken producers can look back over the last 12 months and see good news and bad news. Chicken production and consumption were up, but the supply-managed industry is keeping a war y watch for what might come out of new trade agreements. For Alberta, the year saw the province return to the national fold in October with a new agreement on chicken allocation that allows growth. More farmers are joining the industry and production is up, said Erna Ference, retiring chair of Alberta Chicken Producers. Twelve new producers have joined every year since 2013 and 25 new barns were built last year. Alberta chicken production grew by 6.6 percent while the national growth was 4.7 percent. Alberta’s production was about 154 million live kilograms, a 5.5 percent increase over 2016. Canada’s total chicken production is around 163 billion live kg, an increase of 4.7 percent over the year before. However, when the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership was announced on Jan. 23, the poultry and dairy sectors were shaken. “With the ongoing spotlight on (Nor th Amer ican Free Trade Agreement), this took our supplymanaged organizations by surprise,” Ference said at the Alberta Chicken Producers annual meeting Feb. 27 in Red Deer. The new CPTPP access represents an additional 2.1 percent of the Canadian production that will be imported, in addition to Canada’s existing commitments of 7.5 percent for a total of 9.6 percent. The tariff rate quota will be implemented in phases over 19 years. Eventually about 26.7 million kg will be allowed into Canada each year. The provincial supply-managed groups wrote to the Alberta government about the potential impacts to the industry. “While we do not suggest the

The prebioti c s t h e n a re u s e d by c e r t a i n microbes in the birds’ gut to feed the good bacteria, which helps them out-compete pathogens. Beta glucans may be a trigger for the immune system and are found in barley, oats and yeast. Oligosaccharides are derived from yeast and can help protect the gut. These are naturally occurring sugar chains from yeast or plants. When a pathogen causes an infection in the digestive system, it needs to be able to stick inside the gut and start reproducing. Oligosaccharides look similar to surface carbohydrates so when they are present in the gut, the bacteria bind to them rather than the cell and get

washed away. Organic acids seem to help reduce feed pH. They are weak acids and have some unique properties. Bacterial cells can absorb them. The bacterial cells spend so much time trying to get rid of the hydrogen ions from the acid that they do not have the energy to replicate. Essential oils are derived from certain plants and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency considers many to be antibiotics. “Essential oils do show promise and they could be part of a strategy but we have to keep in mind they may very well lead to resistance problems if we are not careful,” he said. Oils derived from cinnamon, t hy m e a n d o t h e r c o m m o n l y known spices and herbs could be used. Enzymes added to wheat- and barley-based diets can reduce digestive viscosity. These change the gut environment and pathogenic bacteria are less likely to grow.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Canadian government should not continue to try and diversify our trade relations, we are continuing to ask that our provincial and federal governments ensure no further access under supply managed commodities is granted under NAFTA or CPTPP should the U.S. choose to join in the future,” she said. The CPTPP was signed March 8. “Our displeasure with the access being given was communicated formally and informally,” said Michael Laliberte, executive director of Chicken Farmers of Canada, who replaced retiring chief executive officer Mike Dungate. “When combined with illegal chicken imports and duty avoidance there will be a significant impact on our industry. It is more important than ever that the government starts closing the loopholes and implementing the programs that were promised when the TPP was first completed,” he said. Those commitments include dealing with mislabelled broiler chicken imported as spent fowl. In addition, market access is being debated with the United States and Mexico in NAFTA discussions.

Alberta’s production was about 154 million live kilograms, a 5.5 percent increase over 2016. Canada’s total chicken production is around 163 billion live kg, an increase of 4.7 percent over the previous year. “The U.S. demands seek the elimination of all tariffs on dairy, poultry over a 10-year period,” Laliberte said. The U.S. already has preferred access and is Canada’s number one origin of broiler meat imports. Canada’s NAFTA negotiators are urged to continue supporting supply management. “The government must close the import loopholes and offer transition measures to help the chicken sector absorb the initial import offering in CPTPP members. If the U.S. wanted additional market access under NAFTA, it should have joined the CPTPP,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

RED DEER — Certain E. coli bacteria living in the gut of chickens can cause serious diseases under the right circumstances. Researchers are learning more about different forms of E. coli that sicken or kill birds when they get into the blood and move through the body. Some may also affect humans, said Mike Kogut, a microbiologist at the Southern Plains Agricultural Research Centre in College Station, Texas. “The newer types of issues we’re facing with E. coli is this idea of zoonotic potential. There are some repor ts in the literature that describe the ability of a chickenbased E. coli showing up in humans,” he said at the Western Poultry Conference held in Red Deer Feb. 26. “Like many of the other intestinal gram negative bugs, salmonella, campylobacter, there is a lot of drug resistance within E. coli,” he said. Avian pathogenic escherichia coli (APEC) infection may occur in broilers, turkey and layers. Some researchers suggest it is a greater threat when the prophylactic use of antimicrobials stops. Broilers could develop respiratory infections, while laying hens could get reproductive tract infections. There are different types of E. coli within the chicken gut. They are all from a common family tree but they are genetically different. “E. coli is the most prevalent bacterial disease worldwide of poultry and that is just with the idea that we are identifying it for what it is,” he said. It affects all poultry and can result in poor hatching rates, death, lower production and carcass condemnation at processing. The urinary tract bug in humans is almost identical to a form affecting chickens and probably originated from the same form of E. coli.

Avian pathogenic escherichia coli infection may occur in broilers, turkey and layers. Some researchers suggest it is a greater threat when the prophylactic use of antimicrobials stops. | FILE PHOTO Researchers do not know which occurred first, the chicken or human form, said Kogut. APEC is opportunistic and when it gets out of the intestine through feces or urine, it can reach other organs and cause disease. “Virulence is dependent upon what they are exposed to when they reach the tissue,” he said. “They respond by what they come in contact with in the lung, reproductive tract or liver. They are able to turn on genes that allow them to survive. It is still not fully explained and it is still a matter of ongoing research worldwide,” he said. Infection can result when the bacteria travel into the reproductive tract to the ovary through feces when hens reach sexual maturity. This can contaminate eggs or cause secondary infections. Birds may breathe in bacteria in a brooder house if it is dusty or has high ammonia levels. A very small amount could give them a respiratory illness. European researchers have found E. coli was the number one bacteria among free-range chick-

ens in Europe. There are probably stresses associated with living free range and these animals can develop suppressed immune systems. “We don’t know anything about immunity to APEC really when it comes down to it. It is a black hole and it is still poorly defined,” Kogut said. Vaccines are effective and biosecurity is important, he said. Vaccination of broilers can be done but it only works against the bug the birds are exposed to. Antibiotics also help. Treatment will be immediate but once the antibiotic is removed, another flare-up can happen. “If you create a vacuum by removing one bug, something else will fill in. E. coli is the perfect example,” he said. “As we move into the post-antibiotic era we have to think of other methods.” It is also wise to get a veterinary diagnosis to identify which bug is causing the disease so individualized vaccines can be identified. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Monitoring suckle reflex helps supplement colostrum ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

new test can make it easier for producers to assess which calves should receive supplemental colostrum when only a few minutes old. Dr. Elizabeth Homerosky, a veterinarian from the University of Calgary, compared various tests, procedures and observations used to help determine weak calves. It may involve weak calves at birth, calves that have undergone a hard pull and those that had a delayed parturition and are possibly anoxic at birth. Often, one twin is slower than the other because of delayed parturition.

Of the tests Homerosky compared, a basic assessment of the calf ’s suckle reflex provided the best results and also proved the easiest to carry out. It involves inserting a couple of fingers into the mouth of a newborn calf 15 minutes after it is born to determine its suckle reflex. Cattle producers commonly conduct this procedure and most of us can attest that many of the calves we are tubing often have a very poor suckle reflex. The determination is fairly obvious and if in doubt, I would call the suckle reflex weak. These weak calves should then be given supplemental colostrum because they are likely to be slow to rise and slow to nurse. Many farms have a rule that provides colostrum to all calves that required assisted births. This is because it takes only a few minutes to milk a cow already contained in a good maternity pen. When a calf’s birth has been harder than normal or has been delayed, it is a good idea to check the suckle reflex.

Some calves are vigorous and rise quickly even after a harder pull to assist birthing, but generally speaking, the harder the pull, the slower the calf is to rise. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by your veterinarian can help in these situations. If you consistently check calves 15 minutes after being born, it will be easy to identify the sluggish ones. We know that partial failure of the passive transfer of antibodies from cow to calf accounts for many problems down the road. Going one step further to help eliminate this will further improve calf health and herd management. Good colostrum products are available, such as Headstart from the Saskatoon Colostrum Company. Make sure and read the label to know how much immunoglobulin you are giving the calves as not all colostrum substitutes are created equal. You want a minimum of 100 grams into calves early. Then how much to give depends upon

whether the colostrum substitute or natural colostrum will be the entire source or if the mother will provide the calf with a portion of her fresh colostrum. When checking the suckle reflex, make sure to use latex gloves or wash your hands well before and i n - b e t w e e n c h e c k s t o av o i d spreading organisms between calves. By identifying weaker calves, we can administer colostrum and provide other treatments early to enhance calf survival. There are a few cases where we could still get fooled, such as calves appearing very vigorous but not rising because of a bad back or other developmental issue. We still need to be aware of udder conformation because often with the large coke-bottle-type teats, suckling can be unsuccessful, no matter how vigorous. There are always a few calves born to cows with blocked or scarred teats or those that simply don’t have enough milk. When in

doubt, supplement the calves. A blood test can reveal when calves have a partial failure of antibody transfer making them more susceptible to things like scours and pneumonia. These diseases can start with these calves and spread to others in your herd. Checking the suckle reflex helps identify early many of these calves. I guarantee if we all start to check the suckle reflex, it will be time well spent. We all need to make our own treatment plan when we encounter a slow suckle reflex. This provides us with one more tool to do a better job of raising calves. If in doubt when testing, compare calves to healthy ones in the same herd and you will soon become an expert at determining which calves need a little more tender loving care, and that must include colostrum. Roy Lewis works as a technical services veterinarian part time with Merck Animal Health in Alberta.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — A U.S. company promises to bring chemical and fertilizer price transparency to Canada. Farmers Business Network (FBN) launched in Canada in D e c e m b e r a n d ha s a l re a d y signed up members who farm more than 1.5 million acres of cropland combined. Charles Baron, cofounder of the business, describes FBN as a farmer-to-farmer network where growers share data with one another about agronomics, precision agriculture and what they are paying for seed, chemical and fertilizer in their area. Farmers can use the network to see the range of prices being paid for a variety of inputs and if they want they can buy inputs directly from FBN, which does bulk buying on behalf of its members. “ You can see exactly what you’re going to pay for inputs,” Baron said during an interview at the 2018 Commodity Classic. “You get all the comfort of the programs and what you’re used to doing but it’s online and it’s no haggle and it’s totally transparent.” FBN claims it can reduce the price of inputs by shipping direct to the customer, cutting out middleman expenses, such as sales commissions and retail costs. Plus, there are the savings associated with knowing what other farmers are paying across the country. “By creating transparent pricing, we’ve been able to lower grower costs massively, not just FBN members but actually the whole industry,” said Baron. One FBN member in the U.S. saved $185,000 on his annual chemical and fertilizer bill by using the network. “ They realized how out of whack their local market was,” he said.

FARM INPUT SUPPLIERS Charles Baron describes his company as a network that allows growers to share data with one another about agronomics, precision agriculture and what they are paying for seed, chemical and fertilizer in their area. | SEAN PRATT PHOTO “Without them being able to compare to what a national market truly was for those products they had no idea how bad they were getting hosed for a long time.” FBN has grown rapidly since its launch in 2015. It has more than 6,000 farmers and more than 21 million acres signed up in the U.S. The company has raised US$200 million in funding. The FBN booth at the Commodity Classic trade show was about the same size as some of the big players in the crop input sector such as Bayer, Monsanto and Syngenta. The company sells about 1,000 branded and generic products in the U.S. There are several dozen products available in Canada but

the offerings will soon grow to match the quantity available in the U.S. product line. There is a team of five people working in Canada, mainly in Saskatchewan and Alberta but the company is hiring and plans to rapidly expand its sales force north of the border. Membership is a flat fee of $800. It is the same for a 1,000-acre farm as a 100,000-acre farm. Canadian farmers currently have access to the network’s seed finder program, which provides real world yield results on a variety of seeds. They can also use the benchmarking program to compare yields with other farmers using factors such as nitrogen appli-

cation, plant population, rainfall, soil quality and tillage practices. In the U.S., the company has processed 135 million acres of data. “We don’t sell data or do anything like that. It’s all shared anonymously among the growers,” said Baron. “By doing that, you turn the world into a plot trial.” FBN is getting into crop marketing in the U.S., a program that will be available in Canada later this year in time for contracting 2019 acres. In the U.S., the company is helping its members capture price premiums for crops like canola, pulses and specialty crops. sean.pratt@producer.com

Reform needed to encourage ALR use in B.C., study finds BY SHELLEY TOMLINSON FREELANCE WRITER

A new report in British Columbia calls for reforms to increase farming in the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve. The report, called Protection is not enough: policy precedents to increase the agricultural use of British Columbia’s farmland, was released by the Institute for Sustainable Food Systems at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

According to the paper, about 50 percent of the land in the ALR is not used for farming. In Metro Vancouver, the number of land parcels in the ALR used for residential purposes exceeds those used for agriculture. “The problem we were looking at is one that everybody recognizes in B.C., the fact that agriculture land, ALR land, is generally priced way beyond that which agriculture production can support,” said Kent Mullinix, director of ISIF.

“Consequently, much of the ALR land is not used for agriculture but is being used for competing economic uses.” He pointed to uses such as residential, industrial and land held for speculation. “All of these things are driving up the price of agriculture land and rendering unavailable, inaccessible, for farmers and for farming. So, that’s the problem,” Mullinix said. He said policy reform could help create the economic environment

that would allow farmers to be able to buy and use more ALR land. There were several policies presented in the paper. The policy proposals included restricting farmland ownership, designating agricultural enterprise zones near farmland and implementing a tax on conversion of agriculture land to non-agriculture uses. Another was requiring the disclosure of beneficial ownership as well as legal ownership of farmland and make the data available.

“The legal owner of agriculture land is recorded and available to the public, not readily, but available. But beneficial ownership is absolutely not recorded and is not available to the public. So, we really don’t know who truly owns this land and who is benefitting from its purchase and sale,” said Mullinix. The paper also recommended a number of tax reform measures so food producers directly benefit rather than the owners of the farmland.

NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters)— The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency granted a bankrupt Philad e l p h i a re f i n e r a t e m p o ra r y reprieve from complying with the nation’s renewable fuel laws, according to a settlement agreement filed March 12. The refiner, Carlyle Groupbacked Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES), filed for bankruptcy protection in January and asked a judge to waive some US$350 million in compliance costs under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The EPA and PES agreed that the refiner would have to pay only about half of the costs but would fall under stricter compliance guidelines moving forward, court documents showed. The RFS requires refiners to either blend biofuels like ethanol into their fuel or buy credits from those who do. PES, which lacks blending facilities and a marketing network, entered into bankruptcy owing 467 million credits from 2016 and 2017, and only 210 million credits in hand, the filing showed. PES blamed its financial woes on the cost of buying credits. Reuters reported that other factors may also have played a role in the bankruptcy, including the withdrawal of more than $590 million in dividend-style payments from the company by its investor owners. The EPA said PES can use its available credits to comply with the program but does have to buy more to satisfy the requirements, a huge win for the refiner. Neither EPA nor PES immediately responded to requests for comment.
