Pulses could gain with new labels Reducing footprints | Greenhouse gas emissions, soil quality, water use and biodiversity key

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Food companies are getting serious about measuring their environmental performance and communicating the results to consumers, an important new initiative that bodes well for western Canadian farmers, says Pulse Canada.

“I think this could be the single largest factor in differentiating us in the marketplace,” said Pulse Canada chief executive officer Gordon Bacon.

Many groups make health claims about their products. That makes it hard for any one group to stand out.

But when it comes to environmental sustainability, western Canadian agriculture can rise above the crowd

because of pulse use in crop rotations.

“We have a tremendously powerful environmental story to tell,” said Bacon.

There is solid evidence that nitrogen-fixing pulse crops greatly reduce non-renewable energy use on farms.

Pulse Canada recently hired a consultant to interview 30 food industry leaders to find out what they think of sustainability and what they plan to do.

The answer contained in two reports stemming from the interviews is that sustainability has become a top priority for food companies that are increasingly facing questions from partners and customers wanting to know more about their environmental footprints. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Pulses could gain markets “The decision has been made at high levels within companies like Unilever and companies like Walmart to improve the environmental sustainability of their food product offering.

The question is how are they going to do that?” said Bacon.

Companies have taken steps, such as improving water-use efficiency and electrical conservation in their processing plants, but that’s a drop in the bucket.

“They’ve realized 80 to 95 percent of the environmental footprint occurs back at the farm level where the products are grown,” said Bacon.

So the food industry, along with universities and other experts, are working to create measurement systems for the entire food system, including agriculture.

In the early days there were dozens of institutions measuring hundreds of variables, creating a hodgepodge of systems.

“Some leading companies have said, ‘wait, wait, wait, wait. Maybe what we need to be doing is kind of

consolidating around some key things here,’” said Bacon.

That epiphany resulted in a focus on four measurements — greenhouse gas emissions, soil quality, water use and biodiversity. Companies appear to be gravitating toward a life cycle analysis approach for measuring those variables.

Bacon said the pulse industry and western Canadian agriculture in general could fare well in regards to those measures.

Preliminary results from a Saskatchewan Research Council life cycle analysis study shows that when pulses are added to crop rotations, nonrenewable energy use is reduced by 22 to 24 percent, due to decreased reliance on nitrogen fertilizer.

Other Canadian advantages include a large land base, ample fresh water, great soil stewardship and low pest pressure due to the cold winters.

Bacon said it appears farm groups have time to influence food companies’ messages about sustainability because many don’t yet have a plan.

CWB announces plans for moving stored grain in flood zones

Extra rail cars allocated | Manitoba forecasters predict high risk of flooding in some western regions BRANDON BUREAU

With flooding forecast for parts of the Prairies this spring, the Canadian Wheat Board has developed plans to allow farmers to move grain out of farmyard bins in parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

The CWB announced it would move additional rail cars to several regions to ensure there is enough space in elevators for producers to deliver grain.

The CWB’s 2011 flood program applies to: • the Red River Valley between Emerson and Winnipeg; • Manitoba’s Interlake from Winnipeg to Arborg; • from the Assiniboine River south to the U.S. border;

from the Red River Valley west to Deloraine, Man.; • from Kindersley to Prince Albert in northwestern Saskatchewan; • from Lucky Lake to Yorkton and from Weyburn to Melfort in southeastern Saskatchewan.

It’s common to move grain from farm storage in spring in the flood prone Red River Valley, but the board said in a news release that Manitoba flood forecasters are predicting a high risk of flooding around the Assiniboine River in western Manitoba this year.

As well, the Saskatchewan government is forecasting potential flooding in the province’s northwest and southeast because of excessive soil moisture and above average winter snowfall.

The wheat board’s flood program will begin in late February. access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

FOOD LABELLING | GMOs

GMO food labels gain traction Liberal opponents rethinking positions

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The political winds on Parliament Hill appear to be shifting on the contentious issue of whether food containing genetically modified material should be so labelled.

Some Liberal MPs are reconsidering their position after years of opposing demands that “may contain GMO” labels be used to give consumers a choice.

Agriculture critic Wayne Easter is among them.

There is no labelling bill before Parliament, but he began to question his opposition when organic canola growers in Prince Edward Island developed a lucrative market in Japan based on a Japanese label that guarantees they are GMO free.

“If it wasn’t for labelling in Japan, we wouldn’t have that market,” he said last week during a House of Commons agriculture committee meeting on biotechnology issues.

“The labelling issue is another issue that we seriously have to look at. I’ve been opposed to labelling GMOs, but I really question if that should be our end position.”

In an interview, Easter said he is not the only Liberal rethinking their position on the issue.

“In our caucus, I would say it is 50-50 and it is not something the leader has taken a position on so I’m not ready to say our party position is changing, but it really is something we have to consider,” he said.

The Standards Council of Canada agreed to voluntary labels in 2004 when the Liberals were in power, after years of debate.

However, labels are rarely used.

“It really hasn’t worked,” said Easter.

When the issue was last voted on in the Commons on May 7, 2008, a private member’s bill requiring labelling was defeated 156-101.

Easter and most Liberals voted against it, although more than 20 supported the bill.

The P.E.I. MP said he is still uneasy about the issue.

“The difficult question is whether when you label something GMO are you saying it is not as safe as nonGMO?” he said.

“I certainly disagree with that but that said, I do think it is an issue we need to revisit.”

The Bloc Québécois and the New Democratic Party support mandatory labelling.

“It is a question of consumer choice and information,” BQ agriculture critic André Bellavance said.

“People have the right to know what they are eating. What are the people who sell GMO products afraid of?”

However, he said it is a complicated question.

“You have to decide how much has to be there before it has to be labelled since many agree that zero is almost impossible.”

Easter said the promoters of GM products should welcome labels if they are as good as they say. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

COURTS | DAMAGE SETTLEMENT

Farmers see damage judgment reduced Court of Appeal overturns previous decision | Judges rule defendants must pay 18, not 100 percent

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Four Ontario farmers have helped clar ify the cost of seed patent infringement in the most important legal decision involving agriculture since the Percy Schmeiser case, says their lawyer.

Monsanto counters that the courts have simply determined there are costs associated with stealing its technology and those costs vary with each case.

The Federal Court of Appeal sided with the four farmers in judgments dealing with damages on Aug. 6 and Oct. 1, 2010. They were appealing an earlier judgment on what they owed Monsanto Canada for stealing its Roundup Ready soybean technology.

The appeal court judges ruled the farmers owed 18 percent of their profits, which amounted to $24 per acre for Charles Rivett and $28.14 per acre for Alan Kerkhof, Lawrence Janssens and Ronald Janssens, who farmed jointly.

The amounts were close to what the farmers were willing to pay in settlement discussions.

Monsanto had been seeking 100 percent of their profits, or awards of more than $130 and $150 per acre respectively.

The farmers were also forced to pay pre- and post-judgment interest and a portion of Monsanto’s legal costs, raising their total costs to $38.78 per acre for Rivet and an average of $57.93 for the other three farmers.

Kurtis Andrews, a lawyer with Don-

ald R. Good Professional Corp., said the case accomplishes what the Schmeiser case failed to do, which is to establish a precedent for settling future claims with Monsanto.

The Supreme Court of Canada found that Schmeiser, a farmer from Bruno, Sask., had violated Monsanto’s Roundup Ready canola patent.

However, he didn’t benefit from the infringement because he didn’t spray the crop with Roundup, which resulted in no profit award.

The Supreme Court said a patent holder that selects an accounting of profits as its remedy is only entitled to profits that are causally attributed to the patent.

The Ontario farmers’ legal team phrased it another way in its appeal.

“Monsanto did not invent soybeans and should only be entitled to the benefit provided by their patent, not profits attributable to soybeans generally,” said Andrews.

Monsanto spokesperson Trish Jordan said farmers shouldn’t assume future profit awards will be in the same range as the recent Ontario cases.

Instead, it varies by what the courts accept as deductible expenses.

There have been two other judgments involving Ontario soybean growers who violated Monsanto’s patent. Paul Benita was ordered to pay the company $160 per acre and Eddie Wouters was ordered to pay $274 per acre.

She also said the costs extend well beyond the profit award, interest costs and Monsanto’s legal fees.

Growers have to pay their own legal

costs and out of pocket expenses and devote a lot of personal time for preparation and court appearances.

“Finally, and probably most important, if you are an infringing farmer, is that these growers have been placed on Monsanto’s unauthorized grower list and will not have access to any of Monsanto’s technologies in any crop, including those sold by other licensees now and in the future,” said Jordan.

Andrews said the Wouters case involved a farmer without adequate legal representation so the judge had no choice but to use Monsanto’s numbers.

He said the Rivet and Janssens and Kerkhof cases will have a lasting

influence despite the fact that the patent on the first generation of Roundup Ready soybean technology expires this August.

The profit judgments in these cases were based on a comparison with conventional soybeans. Once growers are allowed to plant farm-saved Roundup Ready soybean seed in 2013, it will become the new legal comparison in cases involving infringement of Monsanto’s new Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans.

Andrews believes the profit benefit will be smaller, resulting in a smaller award. As a result, he thinks the company will be forced to ask legislators to consider some other type of deterrent for stealing seed technology.

“I’d be kind of surprised, in fact, if Monsanto didn’t start rallying the troops to try to get something like that to happen.”

Jordan rejected Andrews’ theory, saying Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans deliver a seven to 11 bushel per acre yield advantage over the original technology.

“The value on Roundup Ready 2 is significantly greater than Roundup Ready 1,” she said.

Jordan said Andrews is portraying patent infringement as a mistake made by growers without consequences, which is misleading.

“Growers don’t mistakenly infringe our patent. They do it intentionally to gain advantage over other producers who play by the rules.

DELIVERING THE CROP

Lobby for cost review Resolution passes | Farmers want to know what they are paying in excess freight costs

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

VAUXHALL, Alta. — Only one resolution was presented at the Alberta Soft Wheat Producers Commission meeting Feb. 17, and it passed by a wide margin.

The commission wants the federal government to conduct a full costing review on rail transportation.

“If you want to know what you are paying in excess freight cost today, multiply the total tonnes of all grain, pulse and oilseed crops you produce by seven. This is the dollar amount you are giving away each year in excess transportation costs,” said commission president Lynn Jacobson, who was re-elected to a third term.

T h e f e d e ra l g ov e r n m e nt ha s refused to undertake a costing review, suggesting that a service review had to be completed first.

With that done, Jacobson said growers should now lobby for the costing review.

“If there was ever a time that indiv i d u a l p ro d u c e r s n e e d t o g e t involved and call or write their MP, it is now. If you don’t, just keep multiplying your total tonnes produced by seven and then eight or nine in subsequent years to see how much money you are giving away,” said Jacobson.

He admitted that he’s worried producers don’t seem aware of freight costs charged by the railways.

“It seems passing strange to me that people would argue about a hauling incentive and negotiate like crazy with an elevator, not realizing they were paying this (cost) on the other end.”

Stewart Wells, Canadian Wheat Board director for District 3, supported calls for a costing review.

“The service review has been more or less meaningless to farmers so far,” he said.

“They have identified some of the problems but then their conclusion so far has been, ‘well, let’s just wait another three years and think about it some more.’ ” Wells said failure to adjust freight costs is expensive for farmers.

“Just think about this. Over five years, it will be at least $1 billion pulled out of the western economy and moved over to the railways. In the last five years we’ve already paid $1 billion over and above what we should have paid. That money is just gone.”

GMO | FARM POLICY

Can GM and non-GM co-exist?

Biotech hearings | Most organic growers fear loss of markets if GM traits transfer to their fields

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

An Ontario farmer says genetically modified crops can co-exist with non-GMO crops and he has the farm to prove it.

Jim Gowland, chair of the Canadian Soybean Council, told MPs on the House of Commons agriculture committee last week that his 2,300acre farm includes 900 acres of nonGM soybeans for export and hundreds of acres of GM corn.

He said he is not worried about the purity of his GM-free soybeans, even though 65 percent of the Canadian soybean crop is GM. It is all about management.

“Our farm incorporates the benefits gained through biotechnology while taking advantage of the opportunities to add value to our farm operation by growing non-GM soybeans for world markets,” he said.

Export of non-GM soybeans adds $75,000 to his bottom line each year.

He said the key is management practices “that are needed for segregation.”

The government must also continue efforts to convince potential markets that a low-level presence of unapproved GM traits should be accommodated, he added.

“We need proper identity preserved protocols in place and the

support of the Canadian government in developing low-level presence policies,” Gowland told MPs studying the biotechnology industry and agriculture.

“Canadian soybean growers will then be able to take advantage of future opportunities derived from biotechnology while meeting the ever-changing requirements of the global marketplace for specialty non-GM soybeans.”

However, the idea of co-existence was not a common theme as committee hearings moved to evidence from organic farmers and their fears about GM contamination and lost markets.

Jodi Koberinski, executive director of the Organic Council of Ontario, said introduction of GM canola destroyed the Ontario organic canola industry that was at the time the province’s fastest growing organic sector.

Arnold Taylor, former Canadian Organic Growers chair, warned of the dire consequences for the organic industry if GM flax or wheat is marketed.

Manitoba organic producer Larry Black said that while Monsanto recommends a 800 metre buffer zone to protect organic fields from GM contamination, it is not nearly adequate.

Bees and wind can carry pollen 16

kilometres in either direction.

Koberinski said GMO farmers or the industry should be liable for the economic damage that will be done to Canada’s $2.8 billion organic industry.

“Existence of both GM and nonGM agriculture means that each system must maintain integrity and take responsibility,” she said.

“The current situation where those whose crops are polluted by GMOs bear the economic burden of pollution must not continue.

“We’d like to see that there’s some policy in place that the polluter

pays.”

She said with less than 20 years of production experience, there is no reliable evidence yet of the long-term health effects of consuming GM food.

And the organic sector remains convinced it will win in the end.

“We are convinced that our position is shared by a majority of Canadians and that as detrimental effects of genetic modification of plants become more apparent, the opposition to their continued use will become insurmountable,” Koberinski said.

Proper management can prevent unwanted contamination but some farmers say they still fear contamination from genetically modified plants will spoil their markets. | FILE PHOTO

SOIL MANAGEMENT | FERTILITY

Put soil test, weed control plan on to-do list Prepare for spring | Test soil for nutrients before ground gets too muddy, says agronomist

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ROSETOWN, Sask. — Prairie farmers who entered the winter with saturated soil and rutted fields might feel like they have little control over their destiny as the spring seeding season approaches.

But Jim Bessel, a senior agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada, reminded growers at a Feb. 10 meeting in Rosetown that Mother Nature isn’t holding all the cards.

With canola prices reaching unusual heights, it’s more important than ever that oilseed producers do their homework and be prepared for spring.

“You’ve already got the moisture,” he said. “All you need is a little bit of heat and little bit of time for drying and there’s a potential to produce a heck of a great crop this year.”

Bessel said canola growers should place more emphasis than ever this year on crop fertility and weed management.

Producers hoping to maximize yields should be doing everything they can this winter to ensure they have a good understanding of crop nutrient needs.

Because there was so much moisture last year, leaching was common and nutrient levels were affected.

Bessel urged producers to gather soil samples now rather than waiting until spring when mud will hinder access to fields and timelines will be too tight to make proper crop nutrient decisions.

“If you can’t get the municipal grade out there to push … snow for you, then go out with a snowblower or a quad, he said.

“Farmers are innovative.… The idea is to get out there … and get a sample so you have a better baseline to work with. If you’re paying $8 or $9 a pound for that expensive seed and you want to get the volume out of it, you’ve got to feed it.”

Bessel said producers should target their yields and calculate their fertilizer needs accordingly.

Excessive moisture last year increases the importance of a soil test. | FILE PHOTO For every bushel of canola targeted, producers should plan for 2.5 to three lb. of nitrogen, 1.25 lb. of phosphate, 2.5 lb. of potash and half a pound of sulfur.

If canola is worth $12 a bushel, a difference of five bu. per acre pencils out to an increase in gross revenue of $60 an acre.

That’s $60,000 over 1,000 acres, which Bessel said is enough to pay for two trips to Cancun and a new pick-

up truck.

He said timely weed removal will be equally important.

Studies have shown that yields are usually higher when canola is sprayed at the two to three leaf stage.

Delaying herbicide applications until the crops reach the five-leaf stage normally results in a yield penalty, often 10 to 15 percent of total production.

“Those are some scary numbers when you start looking at the dollars that are lost here,” Bessel said.

“And that’s just weed control. Nothing to do with fertility or stand establishment or any of those other factors that affect your bottom line. So you can see how (it) can be a stressful job growing canola.”

Bessel also cautioned growers about reducing seeding rates in hopes of controlling input costs.

He said lowering them too much can affect plant densities, and canola stands that are too thin are prone to branching and uneven maturity.

Plants that have significant branch-

ing will produce a crop that has greater variability in seed chlorophyll levels.

Determining the proper timing of swathing can be difficult and green seed content can result in grading penalties.

“When you start to look at things like cutting your seeding rates … (be) careful,” Bessel said.

Research has shown that canola crops with low plant densities and excessive branching can delay plant maturity by as much as 21 days.

“That’s a long time in our part of the world,” said Bessel. “We don’t have a long growing season.”

Canola already in storage also warrants close attention, especially in February, March and April when days become longer, the sun’s rays are more direct and solar heating on bin walls can reverse moisture migration patterns in the bin.

Bessel urged growers to monitor their bins weekly, turn canola that is prone to spoilage and use aeration if possible. access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

POULTRY | DISEASE

Chicken sector anxious over report of superbugs in meat BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The chicken industry is nervously watching consumer reaction to a national television investigative exposé that linked antibiotic use on chicken farms to a growing public health threat.

CBC’s Marketplace reported in a recent episode titled Superbugs in the Supermarket that 75 of 100 chicken packages from supermarkets across Canada tested positive for antibiotic-resistant superbugs that can make people sick.

The TV show linked the growth of superbugs in part to a chicken industry practice of using antibiotics on most flocks of chicks to keep them healthy and speed up their growth so that they are ready for market within five or six weeks.

Mike Dungate, executive director of Chicken Farmers of Canada, disputed some of the Marketplace conclusions but conceded the industry is part of the problem and is working on ways to reduce antibiotic use.

The organization is also monitoring consumer reaction.

“There’s a concern out there about it,” he said. “But people still say they are going to eat chicken.”

He said CFC did a consumer survey before the televised story aired and planned another last week “to see what the initial reaction is.”

Dungate said he expects the impact on chicken to be minimal.

However, if that assumption proves to be wrong, the chicken industry may have to respond with information challenging the CBC conclusions and noting the priority that it places on reducing antibiotic use.

“We will know we’ll have to get out there with consumer messaging,” he said. “We want to be sure we are doing the right things to meet the consumer expectations around a safe healthy product.”

Dungate said the CBC report did not prove a “direct causal link” between farm antibiotic use and the development of antibiotic-resistant disease strains.

However, he said the industry has made the issue a top priority, investing $5 million over the past seven years and developing a five-point plan to reduce antibiotic use.

“While there isn’t what I call conclusive proof (of a link between farm use and human infection), there is enough out there that with use of any antibiotic, whether in human medicine or for animal medicine, you’re going to create a better opportunity

for resistance to occur,” Dungate said. “There are lots of potential sources. Everybody along the chain has to be vigilant.

He said the industry is willing to change.

“From a precaution perspective, if we can use alternatives, if we can use class four antibiotics rather than class one or two that are important for human medicine, then we’ll try to do that.”

Marketplace said the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in chicken flocks, including for healthy chicks, is a major cause of antibiotic resistant strains of disease.

Dungate said the chicken industry’s antibiotic use is driven by the need to keep flocks healthy and to have chicks reach market weight within six weeks. “ By doing that, y o u pro m o te

growth,” he said.

“With the short growth cycle, you want to do that as early as possible.

We really don’t in our production cycle have the option of a flock that’s getting sick and trying to rehabilitate a flock.”

NDP MP Megan Leslie told the House of Commons last week that it is a failure of public health policy by the government. The European Union has banned unnecessary use of antibiotics.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said chicken sold to Canadians is safe and does not contain antibiotics.

“CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) regularly tests meat and poultry entering the food supply for antibiotics,” he said.

“The compliance rate for chicken is 100 percent. The last time I checked, that is pretty good.” access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none section=news,markets,livestock

CHINA | OILSEED IMPORTS

Canola sector eager for details on China’s plan to cut tariffs Canadian exports would suffer if tariff cuts don’t apply to canola

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

China is considering decreasing its tariff on soybean and soybean oil imports, which would make it even tougher for Canadian canola to compete in that important market if it does not get the same treatment.

News surfaced late last week that China’s commerce ministry is seeking other ministry input on a plan to lower import duties on a range of foods. There were reports that soybean import taxes would be cut to one percent from three.

There was no mention in the stories about what would happen to canola duties, which are at nine percent.

There have been conflicting reports on what may happen to tariffs on cooking oil.

A Reuters story suggested the Chinese are considering cutting the soybean oil tariff to five percent from nine, while leaving the palm oil tax unchanged at nine percent.

A Bloomberg story said China may cut import tariffs on soybean, palm

and canola oil to five percent from nine.

Dave Hickling, vice-president of canola utilization with the Canola Council of Canada, has asked Canada’s embassy in China to provide clarification on the rumours, but hadn’t heard anything back as of Feb. 18.

“We’re obviously very curious what’s going on,” he said. “We would hate to see (tariff ) reductions in just soybeans or soybean oil without reductions in canola oil and canola seed.”

China dropped soybean tariffs to one percent in 2007, leaving other oilseed tariffs un-touched. The change was made to help keep food price inflation in check.

“The fact that they’ve done it in the past means that it’s very possible they’ll do it again.”

He believes World Trade Organization rules do not allow China to decrease soybean oil tariffs without providing the same relief for palm and canola oil imports.

Hickling said the council would

welcome an across-the-board cut in oil tariffs but not if the canola seed tariff remains at nine percent.

“We don’t like to see any one commodity given favourable advantage over another,” he said.

The China National Grain and Oil Information Centre is forecasting 1.5 million tonnes of rapeseed/canola imports in 2010-11, which would be half of the volume bought in 2008-09.

Canada’s canola exports to China through the first five months of the 2010-11 campaign are 36 percent below the same period in the previous marketing year.

Meanwhile, canola oil exports to China have soared. Canada has shipped 470,500 tonnes in the first five months of 2010-11, which is already 72 percent of last year’s total volume.

The canola oil export number is at odds with a U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast calling for 600,000 tonnes of Chinese rapeseed/canola oil imports in 2010-11.

“That seems low,” said Hickling.

“That basically suggest from here on access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

in we’re going to stop.”

Hickling said blackleg trade restrictions are the most obvious reason why canola seed exports to China are down while canola oil exports are up.

However, the five Chinese plants that are allowed to import Canadian canola are buying below their 2.1 million tonne combined annual capacity, suggesting something else is at work.

Hickling blames the high price of canola seed compared to oil prices, which the Chinese government have regulated by releasing its oil reserves into the marketplace.

The upshot of high canola seed prices and regulated oil prices is that Chinese crush margins are squeezed.

“That would be the main factor why we’re having a little bit of a slump.”

It doesn’t help that canola seed faces a much stiffer tariff than soybean seed, making rapeseed crushers less competitive than soybean crushers.

Fortunately, Pakistan, Japan, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates have picked up the slack. As a result, canola seed sales are slightly ahead of last year’s pace despite disappointing sales to China.

SUNFLOWERS | DEMAND

Price, demand strong for sunflower snacks, weak for oilseed Sunflowers survive dry conditions | Sunflower snack prices supported by rising nut market

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Strong prices will compensate for lagging confectionary sunflower

yields, says a sunflower breeder and industry pioneer.

Jay Schuler of Seeds 2000 told the Manitoba Special Crops Symposium that the crop has a good future in

Western Canada and North Dakota, even if it is now suffering because of disease problems.

“It really is not a price issue,” he said.

Sunflower acreage is expected to slump in Manitoba and the U.S. Red River Valley and Great Plains this year because of disease problems and increased corn acres.

Schuler said 10 years ago farmers in his area along the North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota border grew corn only for silage, but new early maturing grain varieties have allowed many to grow the crop and abandon sunflowers.

Sunflower acreage has moved west, away from corn and sclerotinia.

Most U.S. sunflower acreage is in oilseed varieties, while most Canadian acreage is in confectionary varieties.

Schuler said this is a problem for U.S. acreage prospects because oilseed sunflowers compete with canola, soybeans and palm in the vegetable oil market.

Farmers also like the ease of growing large acreage crops such as corn and soybeans that are genetically modified and have increasing yields.

But confectionary sunflowers compete in the snack food market, and those prices are likely to be pulled up by competing products.

“The price of tree nuts in general has really gone through the roof,” said Schuler.

Macadamia nuts trade for $8 per pound and almonds for $2.40 per lb.

Schuler said California is producing a record almond crop, but prices have not fallen because of booming demand from China.

“The demand continues to increase for confectionary sunflowers.”

Recent wet weather has hurt sunflower acreage in Manitoba, but a return to drier weather would help acreage recover as sclerotinia problems recede, he added.

He said a return of drought-like weather would remind farmers of why sunflowers are a good prairie crop. They can survive conditions that kill other crops.

New corn varieties are also drought-tolerant and higher yielding so the crop will continue to challenge oilseed sunflower acreage, especially with oilseed sunflowers’ inability to escape the crowded vegetable oil market.

However, Schuler said the tree nut market gives confectionary sunflowers a good long-term outlook.

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

Corn demand has increased by 10 million tonnes a year

U

nless American farmers start plowing up pastures and land in the conservation reserve, there simply aren’t enough acres to produce the amount of crops needed to significantly lower prices.

The market fell last week, partly as a result of the U.S. Department of Agriculture posting its baseline projection for 2011 seeded acreage.

The baseline projection normally does not get much attention. Traders focus more on the March 31 seeded acreage report, which is based on farmer surveys.

But in the heated atmosphere of today’s grain market, the baseline projection, coupled with new crop South American soybeans hitting the market, helped spark a downturn.

The baseline said U.S. farmers would allocate 10 million more acres to the major crops.

It pegged corn area at 92 million, up from 88.2 million. Soybeans would be seeded on 78 million acres, up from 77.4 million, and wheat on 57 million, up from 53.6 million.

With prices near the records set in 2008, markets were on edge and about due for a correction anyway.

But the baseline number, though indicating increased acreage, should not be viewed bearishly.

The United States needs to increase seeded area by lot more than 10 million acres. Either that, or have a breakthrough to much higher yields.

Take corn.

Over the past several years, corn demand has increased by an average of 10 million tonnes a year.

Seeded area needs to increase by

more than two million acres just to keep up with that extra demand.

That does nothing to address the need to rebuild stocks, which are at a near-historic low.

Increasing corn acreage by four million acres would increase year end stocks to only one billion bushels from the incredibly tight 675 million bu. forecast for the end of this crop year.

Joe Glauber, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief economist, says an additional eight to 10 million acres would be needed to rebuild the U.S. corn stocks-to-use ratio to a more comfortable level of 10 percent from this year’s five.

Rebuilding soybean stocks would need another three to four million acres.

With the strength in wheat prices, those acres will not come from that crop.

Glauber said the implication is that production will not rebound enough in 2011-12 to end supply worries.

It will take a few years of strong grain prices to ramp up the needed production and ration demand.

But there will be bumps along the road. One potential pothole comes from China’s inflation fight.

Each month or so it taps on the economy’s brakes by raising interest rates or some other action to limit the money supply.

There is little effect so far. Its economy keeps humming along, consuming more commodities.

However, traders worry that at some point China will push too hard on the brakes and the economy will slow too much, slashing commodity demand.

It is a danger that farmers should keep in mind as they develop and update their marketing and risk management plans.

Reduction in cows and sows reduces potential to expand herds WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Canada’s hog supplies edged higher year over year for the first time in nearly five years as of Jan. 1, while the cattle herd fell to the lowest January level in 16 years, Statistics Canada said.

Reductions in numbers of beef cows and sows, however, represent diminished potential to expand herds and suggest significant growth may not be imminent.

Hog producers had 11.9 million hogs to start the year, up 0.6 percent from a year earlier and the first year-over-year increase since April 2006. Numbers of sows and gilts slipped one percent to 1.3 million head, with sows at the lowest level in 12 years.

“The thing that matters most is the sow herd and the fact that’s down is reflective of the federal government (incentives to cease hog production) and the difficult economic circumstances, especially at the end of the year,” said Kevin Grier, senior market analyst at the George Morris Centre, an independent agriculture research organization based in Guelph, Ont. “That’s just a continuation of the downturn.”

Soaring prices of feed grains have dampened optimism, as grain prices look to have more upside than Chicago hog and cattle futures, which are also high, Grier said.

Canadian ranchers had nearly 12.5 million cattle on Jan. 1, down 3.4 percent from a year earlier, continuing a six-year decline caused by strong currency, high feed costs and trade barriers.

The beef cow inventory slipped by nearly three percent, more than offsetting an increase in numbers of beef replacement heifers.

S t ro n g e x p o r t a n d d o m e s t i c demand for cows has pulled down cow supplies, but some ranchers likely made profits in 2010 that may explain the buildup of beef heifers, Grier said.

“2010 started out pretty bad, with drought in Alberta, but finished the year with a note of optimism.”

Cattle and hog herds in the United States have also shrunk, but seem more likely to expand because of the additional pressure Canadian farm-

ers face from a strong Canadian dollar, Grier said.

Tighter supplies are already a concern to Canadian pork packers, he said.

Top hog processors are Maple Leaf Foods and Olymel LP. Canadian cattle exports rose in 2010 nearly five percent to about 1.1 million head, but hog exports slipped 10 percent to 5.7 million hogs.

Statscan’s report on January herd levels is based on a survey of 10,260 livestock operations.

CWB | PAYMENTS

CWB requests increase in initial payments Government approval needed | Increases would apply to wheat, durum and feed barley

BY ADRIAN EWINS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Wheat Board has asked the federal government to again increase the initial payments for base grades of wheat, durum and feed barley.

If approved by Ottawa, the increases would be $30 to $75 a tonne. The board declined to be more specific.

The timing of payments cannot be confirmed until government approval is received, according to a process

set out by the CWB Act. That process historically takes six to 10 weeks, although there has been pressure from the board and farm groups to speed it up.

If approved, this would be the third increase in initial payments in 201011. The most recent was sent to farmers in early to mid-February.

The year started Aug.1 with an initial of $188 a tonne for 1 CWRS12.5 percent protein wheat. The total payment to date, with adjustments, is $225.20 a tonne. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES LOWER Packers pushed back against rising cattle prices last week.

The Canfax weekly weighted average steer price was $105.55 per hundredweight, down $1.31, and heifers were $104.86, down $1.77.

Almost all fed sales were on the rail.

The cash market fell despite stronger Chicago cattle futures.

With lower prices and March contract delivery just around the corner, sellers were not motivated to move cash cattle and a lot of the offering rolled into the next week’s list.

Sales volume dropped 17 percent to 12,160. That was 42 percent smaller than last year.

The cash to futures basis widened to ‐$3.08 from ‐$1.64 the previous week.

Weekly fed exports to Feb. 5 were 19 percent lower at 8,044 head.

That was 40 percent lower than last year.

Feeders are current in marketing and although packers tried to back the market down, the power is likely to remain with feeders.

However, packers could reduce kill until beef demand improves.

HOG CASH PRICES FALL U.S. cash hogs were sharply lower because packers had more than enough supply.

Carcass weights are well above last year, adding to the surplus.

South Korea confirmed it would raise its duty-free pork imports by 50,000 tonnes to 110,000 tonnes.

RAIL CARS | SHIPS

SCHNEIDER’S VIEW

CWB purchase of lakers shows activist direction

T

he Canadian Wheat Board has stepped out of its usual business parameter to buy two ships to carry grain and other cargo on the Great LakesSt. Lawrence Seaway.

The CWB called the deal historic.

Not only is it the first step into ship ownership, it is also historic because it broadens the definition of the CWB mandate to maximize financial return to farmers.

With this deal, it is clear the CWB’s board of directors interprets this to mean not only maximizing returns from grain marketing but also investing in assets that can turn a profit.

The board argues that its experience owning lakers will be much the same as its long experience owning rail hopper cars. It says the hopper cars have been a sound investment that has paid for itself many times over.

Financially that might be the case, but the initial motivation for buying rail cars was much different. Thirty years ago, the rail fleet was old and falling apart and the railways said grain transportation regulation made it unprofitable to invest in new cars. The lack of modern hopper cars was costing huge amounts in lost grain sales.

To address the critical problem, the federal government, Alberta, Saskatchewan and the CWB all bought rail cars.

However, the CWB’s purchase of 2,000 cars in 1978-79 met a lot of the same criticism that the ship deal is encountering today: • the matter should have been discussed with farmers; • farmers near retirement may not benefit from the deal; • it would be better to lease than to own.

Like the rail cars, today’s laker fleet is old and worn out, but with the recent legislative change that allows the ships to be built overseas, it appears profitable to buy replacement ships. Indeed, the CWB’s lakers are part of a larger order that also includes six ships to be owned by Algoma Central Corp. and Upper Lakes Group.

So the CWB is not acting out of necessity, but to capture a potential profit.

It says the ships will cost $65 million to

be paid over four years with money from selling farmers’ grain. It estimates net revenue will be at least $10 million per year, so they will pay for themselves within seven years of entering service.

Producers who see the CWB as their farm’s marketing agency likely view the deal favourably, as the CWB’s board does, as a way to move up the marketing chain to reap potential profits.

Those who see the CWB as a government monopoly through which they are forced to sell their wheat and barley likely view the deal negatively. They believe they are in the best position to decide where to invest money made from the sale of their grain.

This deal to buy lakers shows the importance of the makeup of the CWB board of directors. It is the gatekeeper that approves or rejects such proposals.

The issue should have been raised in last fall’s director elections in the odd numbered districts.

Perhaps commercial considerations would have restricted detailed discussion of buying ships. But there could have been an examination of the meaning and scope of “maximizing financial returns for farmers.”

Even without that discussion, it was clear which candidates favoured an activist CWB and which ones believed the CWB’s scope should be narrowly defined.

Activist candidates won four of the five seats open. Elections judge not only the record of candidates, but also select the people who will address the unknown issues that will come up in the future.

Given the importance of the board of directors in setting CWB policy and direction, it was disappointing that only 41.3 percent of the ballots distributed last fall were returned. If more farmers had voted, it would send a clearer message about whether they want the CWB to pursue a more active line or stick to getting the best price for grain it markets.

MEAT SAFETY | CONFLICTING RULES

Idea of national standard a thorny issue when it comes to meat plants NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

There are good reasons why efforts to streamline regulations haven’t worked

T

he mid-February announcement that Ottawa and the provinces are going to find ways to make it easier to trade meat products between provinces had a

logical ring to it. As agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said, it shouldn’t be easier to sell product abroad than it is to sell to neighbouring provinces.

Nineteen pilot projects will be launched to find ways that allow meat plants that cannot now export to other provinces to do so.

“These projects will enhance processors’ ability to sell their safe high quality product to more Canadian consumers, in turn increasing market opportunities at the farmgate,” said the ministerial statement.

What could be more sensible that that? Let’s do it yesterday!

If only it was that simple.

Canada is a country designed by committee with few national standards and many unique provincial rules.

The meat plants in question are

provincially registered and regulated, and for one reason or another do not meet the federal standard that applies to packing plants authorized to sell across Canada and abroad.

Officials insist meat from those plants is as safe as product from federal plants but because of pernicious regulations, they are forced to sell only within their own province.

Ministers agreed at their recent Toronto meeting to try to create a third tier of packing plant rules — a “national” standard that would be more than provincial rules but less bureaucratic and onerous than federal rules.

Good luck with that. The idea of a national standard has been around for years and gone nowhere for some good reasons.

• Packing industry politics: The

powerful Canadian Meat Council representing federally regulated plants opposes the idea, insisting there should be one standard in Canada, the one they must meet.

Provinces have opposed that, arguing that requiring smaller plants to meet federal standards would drive many of them out of business.

• Credibility: If the argument is that federal rules impose unnecessary bureaucratic requirements on smaller plants that have nothing to do with meat safety, why are they there at all?

Shouldn’t regulations for packing plants be aimed at making sure the product is safe and animals are treated humanely?

• Potential consumer reaction: Despite political assurances of product safety in both federal and provincial plants, consumers can be

expected to wonder why Canadian meat being exported has to come from plants with more stringent standards than the meat they are eating.

• The law: As it stands, Canadian legislation is explicit in saying that interprovincial and international sales of meat must come from federally registered and regulated plants.

If an attempt was made to amend the law to set a lower standard for domestic trade or to do it through regulatory change, there would be a political firestorm.

The goal to increase domestic markets for safe meat products from provincial plants is worthy, as it was in earlier failed attempts to change the rules.

Maybe the pilot projects will find some way around the conundrum that has not yet been tried. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

& OPEN FORUM CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | ELECTION REFORM

SEMANTICS | COMPOST

CWB elections show need for changes

Would manure by any other name smell as sweet?

Brian Otto, a Warner, Alta., area farmer and unsuccessful candidate in recent Canadian Wheat Board director elections, reflects on the need for CWB changes to address farmer concerns

A

fter reflecting on the outcome of the Canadian Wheat Board elections, I am concerned that the elected directors who support the single desk are not listening to the real message being sent to them by producers.

Allan Oberg says he believes a voter turnout of 41 percent is a “creditable result.” Single-desk supporters claim there is overwhelming support for the CWB. However, on average throughout the five districts, single desk candidates received 57 percent of the vote.

Out of 28,500 eligible votes, only 11,400 were cast. That means they received only 6,500 of the eligible ballots cast in their favour.

The true outcome of this election is that single-desk supporters can only lay claim to the support of 23 percent of the eligible votes (6,500 out of a possible of 28,500 ballots.) There is a silent majority (59 percent) who never cast their ballots whom no one can claim as supporters.

To make any claim of overwhelming support for the present system with 23 percent support is misleading and naive.

Why are a majority of producers reluctant to cast a ballot? In my phone calls to more than 1,000 proaccess=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

ducers in District 3, some told me the CWB has become irrelevant to their operations because they grow crops they can market outside the CWB. Others said they felt that it did not matter who was elected to the CWB board because nothing changes and why cast a ballot? Some felt that casting a ballot was showing support for the present system and refused to vote. Some are retired producers who felt the vote should rest in the hands of active producers.

I was told by people on the producers list that they received ballots sent to their addresses with names of individuals that had never lived at that address. Some unregistered p ro d u c e r s n e v e r c a s t a b a l l o t because of the complicated process to get a ballot.

There were incidents in my district where producers were waiting for their ballots only to find out after the deadline that they were placed in the wrong district that was not up for election. Producers who rent land told me that casting a ballot was a waste of time because they knew their ballot would be cancelled many times over by their landlords who supported the CWB. They felt that nothing would change as long as those not actively involved in grain production could still cast a ballot.

Producers do not feel confident that the CWB voters list reflects actual

practicing producers.

It is clear to me the elections should be decided by producers who have the risk of producing a crop; those who have to pay the bills. Until the voters list reflects this, the turnout will remain low and not a true reflection of the majority of those who are producing grain.

I have listened to the comments made by the elected directors and I am not confident that changes will be made to address these concerns .

Oberg says his top priority is to figure out a speedier way to get initial and adjustment payments into farmer’s hands. I agree this should be a priority after the wreck we had last fall when producers were receiving $1.42 per bushel for durum that was

worth well over $7.

It is clear the outdated system of initial payment, adjustment and final payment is not meeting the needs of farmers and the way farmers are paid has to change. This board of directors has to make significant changes, not cosmetic ones, if it is going to address farmer’s real concerns.

Farmers are asking for better market signals that are more transparent. One only has to look at international durum prices or the offshore malt or feed barley prices that fail to be reflected domestically to understand.

Farmers want and need the best marketing structure to receive maximum returns for their grain.

They do not believe the present business model used by the CWB does this.

A good system is about cash flow on the farm, about delivery opportunity and the ability to sell what they grow to pay bills on time. Ask durum producers whether they are willing to store durum for two years while they have bills to pay.

Many producers feel the CWB is misleading and secretive about its operations. The recent decision to purchase two lakers with $65 million of producers’ money confirms this.

If the CWB board of directors continues to ignore farmers’ concerns, it will continue to sink into irrelevance for most farmers, dragging wheat and barley with them.

The status quo is not a viable or successful option for western Canadian producers.

PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE | SIGNS OF FRACTURE

Faith in the oilpatch might involve ‘marriage counselling’ MORAL ECONOMY

CAM HARDER

Changes in the oilpatch are destabilizing corporate and community relationships

V

alentine’s Day this year reminded me of the many weddings I performed as a parish pastor in Alberta. While all the ceremonies were successful (every couple came out wedded), in a few sad cases the marriage didn’t last more than a few days or weeks.

In each case it was due to problems with in-laws. Marriage, it turns out, isn’t just dependent on the success-

ful joining of two people, but on merging two families and cultures.

Coming back from a Faith in the Oilpatch conference in Lethbridge a couple of weeks ago, I realized that a similar dynamic exists in the oilpatch. Oil companies and rural communities have been in long-term “marriages” with each other for a century in Western Canada.

Generally they have found stable, if uneasy, ways to co-exist.

However, new technologies have come online in the last few years: horizontal drilling, hydro-fracturing and thermal extraction from oil shale, to name a few.

And new government regulations about carbon offsets have led to oil companies erecting wind turbines near their drill sites.

The changes are destabilizing corporate-community relationships.

Fear of aquifer contamination is a serious issue. Fracking, the pressurized injection of water and chemicals to fracture rock formations and release oil and gas, has resulted in a few high profile events as bizarre as a

house explosion in Ohio and flammable water flowing from faucets in Rosebud, Alta.

The fracking isn’t just happening in rock formations. Trust is breaking down between oil companies and rural landowners.

Even worse, the fracture lines extend into rural communities.

Horizontal oil wells can reach out a mile or two, potentially affecting the wells of many neighbours. Wind turbines on one farm may hinder neighbours from using aerial spray applicators.

Some need oil company jobs, while others resent the influx of workers that stress health care capacity and attract sex trade workers.

Some eagerly accept surface right compensation offered by pipelines, while others care more about unhindered livestock movement, land access or higher compensation.

These folks all have to live with each other, at church, on the curling team, in school, for the next 50 years.

So it’s about more than the contract between an oil company and a land-

owner. It’s about the cultures and communities in which they are embedded.

At that Faith in the Oilpatch conference, Donna Kennedy-Glans, former vice-president of Nexen Inc. and director of Integrity Bridges, suggested that rural and urban churches have a role in helping their oil workers and executives, landowners and town employees talk about the issues together.

“The idea isn’t for faith leaders to God-wash the issues,” she said, “but to build bridges between the polarized debates that people seem to be stuck in right now.”

Most faith traditions emphasize the interconnectedness of life. They insist that oil and land and all other things belong first to God. Using them in a way that reflects God’s concern for the whole community will perhaps require some marriage counselling.

BARB GLEN, EDITOR

W

hat a difference one word c a n m a k e, e v e n i f t h e meaning is the same.

William Shakespeare had that figured out in terms of roses but I speak here of a word common to prairie farming and ranching: manure.

Frank Larney, a scientist at Agriculture Canada, made the same point at a recent manure management conference. “”Manure is a bad word. Compost is a good word,” he said. “They are essentially the same thing but it’s just in the name. If we give manure a makeover, we can call it compost.”

He was talking about the benefits of manure application as a soil erosion remedy but perhaps his remarks could have wider application.

Manure and its more prosaic fourletter name are certainly in habitual use around prairie farms, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. What if we were to take Larney’s suggestion and make the substitution?

Farmers would establish compost piles after feedlot cleaning and build compost lagoons to store liquid product. They would use compost spreaders to fertilize their fields. Often when this activity occurs, compost hawks, a.k.a. seagulls, would dive in to eat insects stirred up in the process.

As we know, there are occasions when the compost hits the fan, or when farmers find themselves at the short end of a composty deal. Those are the times when they might find themselves in a world of compost.

However, some won’t give a compost and some will just write it off as ordinary bull compost that occurs whether you like it or not.

Let us hope it doesn’t affect their self-esteem, in which case they run the risk of feeling like dog compost.

It will be eventually be determined that “oh compost” is the most common expression used by farmers and by pilots just before the moment of impact between machinery and stationary objects or the ground.

Such events are not necessarily their fault, though, because sometimes the manufacture of machinery is just not worth a compost. In fact, occasionally you have to wonder if the people who make certain implements even know their compost from their compostola.

Upon further reflection, I’m doubtful that Larney’s substitution will be effective in many cases. But there is one incontrovertible fact: Compost happens. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

OPEN FORUM LETTERS POLICY:

ODIOUS LEGISLATION

Letters should be less than 300 words. Name, address and phone number must be included for verification purposes and only letters accepted for publication will be confirmed with the author.

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer.

Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Cuts will be indicated by ellipsis (…)

Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

In your editor’s notebook (Opinion, Jan. 27) you imply that Alberta’s landowners were not paying attention to the legislation passed by the Progressive Conservatives.

Many of us certainly were.

In response to landowner lawsuits against the government, the courts ruled regulatory bodies like the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board had to be fair and impartial in their deliberations and proceedings.

Predictably, as in all single party authoritarian states, Alberta’s ruling party responded by passing retroac-

tive legislation throwing out the legal victories.

Even though Alberta’s landowners launched a vigorous and thoughtful opposition to this legislation, the Alberta Progressive Conservatives used their legislative majority to pass these draconian laws.

The passage of Bill 50 and the other odious pieces of legislation do much more than just remove civil and property rights.

These new laws are a deliberate statement of contempt for due process and the courts in Alberta from the ruling Conservatives.

The result is that careful planning, which involves many different interests, and the debating of evidence

before an impartial and competent tribunal, has been thrown out in favour of a system where the lobbyist with the closest connections to the ruling party wins.

AltaLink is moving for ward under this draconian new legislation to build what many feel is an obsolete transmission line at public expense. The public has no legal recourse to question the need for this expense.

There is no evidence that Alberta needs this line, only decrees from the Conservative cabinet that it is critical infrastructure.

The message of Bill 50 and the other new laws is: “believe us or else.” It is ironic that the rest of the world is access=subscriber section=letters,none,none

ORGANIC PESTICIDES To the Editor: Lorne Hepworth, in his Jan. 27 letter to The Western Producer, is very misleading in his assertion that organic producers have available and use the same pesticides as conventional producers.

All organic certification bodies have a seemingly endless list of biocides deemed too dangerous for use in organic food production.

As an organic producer, I confess to occasionally having some fields that I would like to call in the spray plane to assist in my battle with weeds, disease or pests.

However, the selection of conventional chemical herbicides, pesticides or fungicides are not organic options.

Even synthetic fertilizers are disallowed and legume inoculants have to be approved ingredient by ingredient. It seems a bit mischievous for Crop Life Canada ... to portray all food production methods as equivalent and safe to our biosphere.

I was very frustrated and disturbed after reading an article entitled “B.C. compost operation to take pressure off abattoirs,” by Shannon Moneo (WP, Feb. 3.)

Many of the residents living near this facility have serious concerns and have signed a petition of opposition. The property is zoned rural and it is bordered by properties in the rural residential classification.

This facility is to receive waste materials from three of the largest commercial abattoirs in the area. We have asked for proof that this type of facility using the transform compost technology is safe. … The facility will essentially be self-regulated with oversight being provided by a qualified professional.

This project is essentially an experiment and if it fails, according to Investment Agriculture B.C.’s executive director Peter Donker, “we’re hooped,” which to me is an overstatement.

To put things into perspective, a representative from a local abattoir has stated “this is an experiment that is only saving us pennies.” In fact, a half a cent a pound.

The residents have repeatedly asked for a hydro geological survey to be done on the area surrounding the facility to investigate the possibility that bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella could leach into the water table.

In your article the proponent spoke about a reduced carbon footprint through reduced truck transport. He failed to mention that the composting of organic wastes results in the formation of products that affect air quality.

OPEN FORUM because they were going to make changes to the CWB, but no, now they can’t because eastern Canadian MPs are fighting for the board when they have no interest in it.

It just sickens me when I see the CWB ads for pro single desk. I grow wheat so why should they spend my money on ads that do not benefit me and thousands of other western Canadian wheat growers?

(I am) totally sick about the whole situation when I see cash prices of spring wheat at $10.29 and durum at $10.50 across the line in the U.S. …

I live in a free country. That I know because I just expressed my view. But no, I can’t sell my wheat to whomever I want.

Not so free, is it?

LIFTED SPIRITS | HERE AND NOW

Fresh look at paradise sees hope and joy SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

The early church believed that paradise existed in the here and now

M

y spirits have been lifted as I work my way through a historical tome called Saving Paradise.

The writers, Brock and Parker, set

out on a journey to learn about the earliest day of Christianity. They studied art in churches and cathedrals of the near East.

It became apparent that these sacred spaces were full of beautiful landscapes depicting paradise but there were no depictions of the death of Jesus.

They gradually realized the early church built its theology on the Garden of Eden story with an understanding that the resurrection of Jesus reversed the consequences of the Fall.

Paradise was in the here and now and believers had immediate access to it when they became grounded in love, justice, peace and wisdom.

All had God-given capacity for these things. At times they simply

had to accept the tragedies of life but they still found hope and joy in the paradise the spirit gave them.

I still have much to understand about the deeper meaning of this thesis but I like what I’m learning. We need to return to being touched by paradise, where the central message is hope and joy.

It calls for us to nurture ourselves spiritually to have a deeper awareness of the beauty, the good, the love that becomes ours as we encounter the earth and each other.

We could find grace, justice, peace and compassion in the here and now.

Improper management can result in anaerobic composting, which results in a failed process and resulting putrid stench.

This facility will require open doors to allow for proper ventilation of exhaust and process gases for worker safety and as such we are very concerned about vector transmission of pathogens.…

I can accept the fact that we live in a rural area and that we can expect odours associated with normal farming practices. However, red meat waste composting stretches the definition of a normal farming practice, especially with most of the raw material coming from off-farm commercial sources.

Area residents place a high value on our right to clean air, clean water and an environment free of biohazards and feel these precious rights should not be treated like commodities.

SNAIL MAIL To the Editor: I read with interest the letter from John Hamon. (Open Forum, Jan. 13.)

I too am concerned about the slower and slower mail delivery, particularly since we have been notified of an increase in stamp prices on Jan. 31.

The recent speed of mail delivery pales in comparison to what used to exist. I have a letter mailed from Victoria, B.C., by my grandfather upon his return from the Klondike on Aug. 25, 1899. Beside the Victoria postmark is that of the post office in West Brome, Quebec, dated Aug. 31, 1899.

Six days to cross Canada, after a barge crossing of the Gulf of Georgia, across Canada by steam locomotive, and transfer to a different railroad in Montreal for the journey 50 miles

south to West Brome. Quite a feat, since the first train had only reached Vancouver 11 years before.

CWB AND WTO To the Editor: The Canadian Wheat Board continues to tell prairie wheat and barley growers how much money we will lose if we allow Canada to sign on to a new World Trade Organization agreement.

It claims that the powers and privileges that the board receives from our government put more money into farmers’ pockets.

They say these perks would likely

OPEN FORUM be lost under a new agreement.

There is another side to the story.

Producers of non-board grains, oilseeds, pulses and livestock have much to gain from reduced trade barriers. So too do our resource industries and some manufacturers and service providers.

Canada stands alone, with the exception of New Zealand kiwi fruit growers, in trying to maintain the board as a state trading entity. Times have changed.

Even those who feel that the board is a net benefit to them can look at the other side of the equation. All of us, and especially consumers and taxpayers, pay a price for protectionism.

A new WTO agreement may not be attainable immediately but working toward one is better for prairie farmers than working against one.

Genetically modified crops have been called franken-foods. The suggestion is that consumption of these foods will create a monster.

Humans have eaten genetic material in foods for millions of years. Eating beef has not promoted the growth of tails nor has eating wheat caused us to grow roots. When genetic materials are eaten, the digestive process breaks them down and makes them into food.

Genes are made up of four letters; A, G, C and T. A new combination of these letters is not worthy of fear. …

players” are “pushing” farmers to use GM crops. Some of Mr. Osborn’s fears seem to have a philosophical basis. …

The people that solve problems should be heroes. Monsanto seldom gets that status.

GM technology is out of the bag. It holds an optimism that was not available before. Science leads society.

For instance, medical technology has blurred the lines of life and death, throwing society into confusion as to how to deal with the new medical technologies.

Society has to change its common sense to accept new technologies. …

Clark Lysne, Wetaskiwin, Alta.

FERTILIZER IMPORTANT To the Editor: At risk of upsetting the status quo of pro- and anti-Canadian Wheat Board attack letters, I write of something much more important.

Current methods of employing variable rate technology in fertilizer application in order to gain maximum economic benefit will continue the poor tradition of soil degradation. Underfertilizing areas of poor production is comparable to the ohso-visible soil clouds of the 1930s and 1960s.

I realize most farmers are no longer using the plow and turning the soil black but the process that the plow accelerated still operates in our soils today. It is the process that continues soil degradation in areas where soil nutrients are under-applied.

Under-applying fertilizer to poor areas means more nutrients are taken from the soil organic matter rather than from fertilizer.

When soil nutrients are exported from soil without replenishment, nitrogen is mineralized from the soil organic matter. This causes organic matter to decline, resulting in less aggregate stability and water holding ability. Less aggregate stability increases risk of erosion, and less water holding ability decreases yield potential and increases leaching potential below the root zone.

Following the common VRT methodology of fertilizing poor areas poorly, this area would then be fertilized even less because of further reduced yield potential, and the circle would continue until these areas are completely unproductive and devoid of organic matter.

This variable rate methodology touts being able to react to field variability but it actually enhances this variability. Truly, a long-term approach to soil and crop management should seek to increase field uniformity and a return to a grassland-like equilibrium.

The search for soil uniformity may not be as flashy as yield maps, field imaging and new air drills but over time it is much more important.

In an agricultural society that loves to throw a little of product A and some of product B at problems, large scale changes in thought needs to occur. No magic bullet fertilizer, chemical or computer program will halt the effects of mineralization and in the long term, a healthy soil will trump those inputs.

This means long-term soil building should be included in management decisions, and chasing the almighty dollar a year at a time may not actually be the most profitable.…

CANOLA | SHATTERING

Variety selection worth more than sealants Pod sealant benefits negligible | Farmers urged to choose canola varieties that are more resistant to shattering

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ROSETOWN, Sask. — Canola growers concerned about shattering losses should spend less time and money applying pod sealants and more time selecting varieties that are resistant to shattering.

Chris Holzapfel, a researcher with the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF) in Indian Head, Sask., recently told canola growers at a meeting in Rosetown, Sask., that the benefits of using pod sealants on straight cut canola appear to be negligible.

Holzapfel has completed two years of research that compares yields from canola that is swathed, straight combined and straight combined after a pod sealant has been applied.

In eight site years of data, Holzapfel recorded only one instance where the application of a pod sealant resulted in a higher harvested yield.

In the other seven instances, yields from canola that was treated with sealant were the same as or lower than yields from untreated canola.

Some canola varieties are far more resistant to shattering than others, he said.

Data on shattering losses is limited, but Holzapfel thinks industry-funded canola variety trials should consider taking a closer look at the issue.

At current prices, a variety that routinely loses a bushel per acre through shattering could cost a farmer $12 per acre in lost revenue.

“I think it (shattering) has been something that all breeders are aware of.… It’s on the back of their mind, even if it’s not as big a priority as yield,” Holzapfel said. “But to the best of my knowledge, growers would not have access to this type of information for every variety that’s out there.”

Holzapfel tested the canola varieties 5440 LL, 4362 LL, 45H26 RR, 5020

LL and Xceed 8571 CL, a Clearfield juncea canola touted for offering drought and shatter resistance.

Plots that were harvested within a reasonable time frame had shattering losses of 0.5 to two percent of total yield.

However, shattering losses were significantly higher when harvest was delayed.

Loses ranged from five percent in some plots to nearly 50 percent in severe cases where canola was left standing until late October.

Invigor 5440 performed particularly well in terms of overall yield and shattering resistance.

“Out of all the varieties we tested, we did notice that Invigor 5440 resisted shattering very well, even when it was left until very late in the growing season,” said Holzapfel.

“The other varieties that we tested tended to be a bit more variable and shattering losses tended to be a little bit higher, but I have the feeling that 5440 isn’t the only variety out there that will resist shattering well.”

Holzapfel said harvest delays are common in Western Canada, and significant delays could result in large financial losses.

“If you get the crop off early at an optimal time, you probably shouldn’t be too concerned about (shattering),” he said.

“It’s when you can’t harvest at an optimal time that the problems arise, and that is a reality for canola growers in Saskatchewan.”

Despite his findings, Holzapfel said producers should not be discouraged from straight combining

canola. If done properly, straight cutting can reduce labour costs and eliminate the time and extra cost associated with swathing.

However, the risks of straight cutting as opposed to swathing are high.

Holzapfel said producers should start small and minimize their learning curve.

Straight cutting 10 to 20 percent of their total canola acres is a good place to start, he added. It will reduce risk and give growers more time to become familiar with the process.

Holzapfel said some B. Napus varieties appear to be better suited to straight cutting than others.

“I think it’s really exciting to see that in some of these B Napus varieties, we do have some big differences,” he said.

“In terms of shattering, some of them seem to be holding up as well as some of the lower yielding alternatives to Napus canola. I’m not sure where growers would access that type of information (on shattering), but if they could get a variety that is more resistant to shattering, that would be a great start.”

Genes that fit your farm.

800-665-7333 www.secan.com Developed by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Winnipeg. ‘AC’ is an official mark used under license from Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada.

An American entomologist who conducted field trials on insecticidal seed treatments for soybeans and determined the product has little value for farmers says other researchers have reached similar conclusions.

In the Feb. 17 edition of The Western Producer, Palle Pedersen, a Syngenta seed treatment expert, said most research done across the U.S. Midwest has proven that insecticidal seed treatments do boost yields and provide an economic return for growers.

But according to Jonathan Lundgren, a U.S. Agricultural Research Service entomologist in Brookings, South Dakota, the majority of scientists support his contention that soybean growers are better off if they avoid insecticidal seed treatments.

In 2009 and 2010, Lundgren held field trials in South Dakota, planting untreated soybeans along with beans treated with insecticide.

He found no difference in yield and no difference in aphid counts, between the untreated and treated seed.

“When independent researchers have addressed this question of whether insecticidal seed treatments affect soybean aphids, there are no published records of this benefitting farmers over spraying when the pest needs it,” said Lundgren in an e-mail.

One of those scientists is Matt O’Neal, an entomologist at Iowa State. In a study published in the December 2009 issue of the Journal of Economic Entomology, O’Neal and his colleagues evaluated the economic value of insecticidal seed treatment. He concluded that spraying, as needed, is a better option for growers.

“Preventative applications of insecticides, either applied to the seed or foliage, did not significantly reduce soybean exposure to soybean aphids or prevent yield lost compared with insecticides applied in an IPM approach,” O’Neal and his collaborators wrote.

“Our results are consistent with previous studies that show seed treatments do not provide significant protection against yield loss caused by soybean aphids.”

Using insecticidal seed treatment is an effective way to control bean leaf beetles, O’Neal said, which feed on the plant early in the season. But soybean aphids aren’t a problem until much later in the year. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to apply a seed treatment a couple of months before a potential outbreak.

“There’s actually quite a few papers in the peer reviewed literature that have shown that these seed treat-

ments will kill the aphid…. But if they don’t show up until later in the season, there really isn’t much value.”

Overall, insecticidal seed treatments are used on about 30 percent of the 82 million soybean acres in Canada and the U.S. Farmers are using this product because they don’t have a choice, O’Neal added.

“My perception of the industry is there isn’t a lot of choice. It can be difficult for growers to get seed without treatment,” he said, noting that Syngenta has developed and sells beans with aphid resistance.

Pedersen, Syngenta’s technical manager for development of seed treatments, said that’s not the case. Growers do have the option to use insecticidal seed treatments or not.

“More than half of soybeans are treated at the local level, at the co-ops and elevators,” said Pedersen. “They don’t get forced to use it.”

Further, the price of seed is increasing and growers want to ensure that every seed counts.

“Farmers are cutting seeding rates, because seed is getting more valuable, by using the seed treatment and protecting them (seeds) from these insects and diseases. (Growers) can plant much fewer seeds and still get the same yield.”

Syngenta makes a seed treatment for soybeans called CruiserMaxx.

Ted Labun, technical manager for Syngenta Seedcare in Canada, said commercial growers in Canada have found that soybeans treated with insecticide and fungicide yielded two to four bushels per acre more than untreated seed.

Bu t t hat y i e l d b o o s t i s l i k e l y explained by the fungicide or seed genetics, Lundgren said.

“It is important for farmers to understand that these are separate seed treatments and that potential yield benefits from fungicides may be mistakenly attributed to the insecticidal seed treatment.

“I strongly advocate producers of my region to request the best genetics of beans, just hold the insecticides. Then spray if aphids exceed the threshold.”

Fungicidal seed treatment for soybeans costs around $4 per acre.

Insecticidal seed treatment costs approximately $10 per acre. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Railways improved, but regulation needed, says CWB Canadian National Railway praised | The CWB says CN has delivered on its promise for good customer service

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers are saving money and seeing grain flow faster because of a new era of co-operation between Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Wheat Board, say leaders of both organizations.

But while both sides agree that further cost savings are possible by future collaboration, they still politely agree to disagree about CN’s desire to operate without strict regulatory controls.

“We need to move away from the regulatory bent that is dominating the grain,” said CN president and

chief executive officer, Claude Mongeau, in a speech in Winnipeg Feb. 17.

“I don’t know of a regulated utility that is good at innovation.”

In his speech and afterward in comm e n t s t o re p o r t e r s, Mo n g e a u stressed major advances in CN’s grain car performance since moving to a more transparent process, in which his company shares information with customers like the wheat board in exchange for access to their information.

The result is better matching of grain, railways and port facilities, he said.

“Railroads are offering good service

to farmers, farmers have good rates and I think the future is more in a commercial framework than in trying to go back to re-regulation,” said Mongeau to reporters.

But Ward Weisensel, chief operating officer of the CWB, said his organization believes the railways should not be allowed to operate free of special regulatory structures that recognize their market dominance.

“We have a Canada Transportation Act in Canada which regulates the railways for a good reason,” said Weisensel to reporters.

“We don’t have acts that regulate many other industries. We have that access=subscriber section=news,none,none

act because there’s a recognition that railways have market power, more so than other industries in the Canadian marketplace.”

B u t t h e ov e r a l l re l a t i o n s h i p between CN and the CWB appeared warm, with Weisensel praising Mongeau in comments to the crowd before Mongeau’s speech.

“Claude’s focus, to improve service to customers, as a railway was evident from the start,” said Weisensel.

“He told us customer service would be a priority for CN and he has delivered on that promise…. Under Claude, CN has quickly moved to a much more collaborative model, which we greatly appreciate.”

Mongeau said transportation efficiency gains could mean more to farmers than crop production gains, and results have already been seen from CN’s move to “open order book” operations and programs like the Scheduled Grain Plan.

Mongeau said CN rail cars have hit their daily targets 86 percent of the time in the last year and are now reaching 90 percent. In the past, the railway would judge its performance

by the week, but now does it daily.

“This is a transformational innovation,” said Mongeau in his speech.

“I have yet to hear anybody in grain country tell me this is not the right way to go.”

CN’s performance is particularly notable, Weisensel said to reporters afterwards because many of its lines were affected by flooding this year, yet its share of CWB shipments has increased by seven percent this crop year.

Canadian Pacific Railway, on the other hand, has lost share and earned the ire of the CWB. “We have had our struggles with CP this crop year to date, as have many, many organizations operating in grain right now,” said Weisensel.

But with CN the relationship is healthy, even if the two organizations don’t agree on further deregulation or re-regulation.

“I respect his views, but I think our views are well-founded. That said, that has not hindered our ability to move forward on a very positive commercial relationship,” said Weisensel.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely, this is raising questions and creating unease for my members,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Laws, executive director of the Canadian Meat Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are planning to change the rules for provincial plants, it makes people nervous because many of my members have made great investments in buildings and processes and equipment to meet the pretty stringent regulations and they are worried theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see their investment removed.â&#x20AC;?

Laws said the federal packers have little information about the proposal but noted that changing rules in legislation, regulations or the operating manual for the packing industry has been a slow process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not going to be an easy task and it will not happen quickly.â&#x20AC;?

At a mid-February federal-provincial agriculture ministersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting in Toronto, ministers agreed to launch 19 pilot projects to see if regulations could be changed to allow provincial plants to meet a national standard that would allow interprovincial trade without compromising food safety.

They said it is an attempt to improve internal Canadian trade.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the objective is to reduce unnecessar y bureaucrac y that keeps smaller provincial plants from reaching an as yet ill defined national standard that would allow them to compete for customers in other provinces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we want to do is go through the list of requirements under federal standards and find out what we can do to simplify them or make them fit in a smaller operation,â&#x20AC;? he told a news conference.

Jean-Pierre Blackburn, veterans affairs minister and minister of state for agriculture, said it is an effort to increase internal trade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program aims to increase trade in Canada. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to enable smaller companies to use different means in order to be able to achieve strict national norms or standards.â&#x20AC;?

Laws said the idea of a national standard for trade within Canada as a middle point between provincial regulations and federal regulations has been around for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually believe there should only be one standard, the federal standard,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Laws said that in some provinces, the rigorous inspection or frequency of inspection required at federal plants is not required.

Any attempt by governments to create a new national registration level to allow interprovincial trade would be illegal, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wrote to the minister to remind him that they have no authority to exempt anyone from the act and regulations,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He suggested that a unilateral decision to register provincial plants meeting national standards as federal could be challenged.

Any scheme to give provincial plants more market power could create unfair competition because federal plants pay for meat inspection while in many provinces, there is no charge, he said.

THE SEASON FOR WAITING

Ag ministers look for ways to simplify packer rules Provincial plants to sell out of province | Standards won’t be lowered: ag minister

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

TORONTO — Federal and provincial agriculture ministers have agreed to launch 19 pilot projects across Canada to try to find a way to allow provincially regulated meat plants to sell interprovincially.

It is an attempt to find a way around existing regulations that allow only federally regulated plants to ship interprovincially or internationally.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said Feb. 11 at the end of a oneday ministers’ meeting the goal is to find rules that allow a provincial plant to meet a national food safety standard without necessarily meeting all federal paperwork requirements.

He said food safety standards will not be lowered.

“What we want to do is go through the list of requirements under federal standards and find out what we can do to simplify or make them fit in a smaller operation,” he told a news conference.

“We may have 16 pages on washing your hands for a factory processor that has five, six hundred employees but when you have five, maybe you don’t need 37 pages to explain it.”

He said the goal is to help provincial plants meet national standards without undue bureaucracy so they can expand sales within Canada. It is unclear if product from such provincial plants would be eligible to be traded internationally.

Ritz said the pilot projects would involve smaller provincially regulated plants that volunteer for the program. Ottawa and the provinces have committed to trying to break down interprovincial trade barriers within Canada that sometimes make it easier to export than to sell to customers in other provinces.

“We’re not lowering the standards,” he said.

“The safety of food will be assured.

What we’re trying to do is make sure that the result we’re after is (that) the interprovincial trade of meat is allowed to flow by using a national standard but doing it in a way that is affordable for a provincial plant and makes economic sense for them.”

Jean-Pierre Blackburn, veterans affairs minister and minister of state for agriculture, said bureaucrats soon would be visiting the selected plants.

“Very soon, representatives of the federal government and provinces will start visiting some meat processing establishments with a new program on meat hygiene,” he said.

“We’re going to enable smaller companies to use different means in order to be able to achieve strict national norms or standards.”

STELLARTM PERFORMANCE KEEPS

SASKATCHEWAN FARMER COMING BACK. It’s sustainable. Essential. A bright new light in broadleaf weed control.

It’s all about control for Terry Tait. Tait farms approximately 1,500 acres near Meota, Saskatchewan. Upon a recommendation from his local retailer, he decided to try StellarTM herbicide for the first time in 2009, and he was pleased with the results.

The combination of three powerful active ingredients and overlapping modes of action provides a highly-effective solution for farmers managing Group 2 herbicide resistance. It’s the new standard for annual broadleaf weed control in the black soil zone.

“I was quite happy with it. I like the control,” says Tait. “You don’t see regrowth with weeds like buckwheat and hawk’sbeard. There is also a wider window of application.”

Tait applied Stellar to 700 acres of wheat and barley in both 2009 and 2010. “The buckwheat was getting a little big and it really knocked it good,” says Tait. “The hawk’sbeard and buckwheat were my main problems. Some of the hawk’s-beard was pretty big and it hit them pretty hard.”

Stellar is designed for growers who need improved herbicide rotation that doesn’t compromise weed control performance. It’s a high performance product that controls a broad spectrum of weeds including Group 2 resistant cleavers, hemp-nettle, chickweed and kochia.

Another benefit of Stellar is the fact that it has no crop rotation restrictions, allowing growers to choose any crop the following year. “I kind of jump around with my rotations; with Stellar

herbicide I don’t have to worry about what I sprayed with,” says Tait.

He adds that other herbicides he has used previously killed the weeds, but they would always sprout back up. This wasn’t the case with Stellar. “It seemed to do a better job,” he says.

Tait adds that the product also proved safe on his crop, noting that he sprayed one field quite late and Stellar didn’t bother it at all. When asked if he plans to use it again, Tait doesn’t hesitate.

“Yes,” he says. “I’ve seen the last few years that it works well, and I know I can count on it. For the dollar I know it’s going to do the job and I won’t have to go back and re-spray.”

HEMP | PRICES

Not all hemp contracts high BRANDON BUREAU

A representative of Hemp Oil Canada, a hemp processor in Ste. Agathe, Man., says hemp growers around Dauphin, Man., may be signing contracts this year for 90 cents per pound but those prices represent a fraction of the hemp industry.

Kevin Friesen, seed production manager for Hemp Oil Canada, said the majority of contracted acres this year for conventional hemp grain are going for much less than 90 cents per lb.

Hemp Oil Canada has signed up about 80 percent of its acres for 2011 and contracts are averaging 60 cents per lb. for conventional grain and $1.05 for organic grain.

In the Feb. 10 issue of The Western Producer, Chris Dzisiak, a Manitoba hemp grower, said he and other producers around Dauphin have signed contracts for 90 cents per lb.

In light of dramatic increases in canola and other commodity prices, Dzisiak said growers would be giving hemp seed away if they signed contracts for less than 90 cents per lb.

That comment prompted several phone calls to Friesen from producers wanting to cash in on high hemp prices.

However, 90 cents per lb. might apply to a variety called Alyssa, which is grown around Dauphin but not to other hemp varieties.

“I think the reason they have the price that high is that people aren’t willing to grow it (Alyssa) for grain for less than that,” said Friesen, who lives in British Columbia but grows hemp near Rosthern, Sask.

“Alyssa is really developed for dual (fibre and grain) or fibre usage. That’s where it shines, not so much solely for grain production.”

Most hemp producers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta choose to grow varieties like Finola, CFX-1 and CRS-1, which reach maturity more rapidly and yield more than Alyssa, Friesen said.

“Producers in most areas simply stay away from dual or fibre varieties, as there simply isn’t a significant commercial fibre market and it’s easier to just grow grain.”

Despite Friesen’s comment that most hemp growers are signing with processors for 60 to 65 cents per lb., Dzisiak maintains that those prices are unfair to growers.

In 2010, most producers grew conventional hemp grain for 60 to 65 cents per lb., Dzisiak said. Canola futures, by comparison, have jumped to $600 per tonne from $400 per tonne in the last 12 months.

“If you had 40 bushels (per acre) of $12 canola (per bu.), that would probably equate to $1 per lb. (of hemp grain). So why would you grow hemp for 65 cents per lb.?” said Dzisiak, president of the Parkland Industrial Hemp Growers, a producer co-op in the Dauphin region.

The president of Hemp Oil Canada, Shaun Crew, said the Canadian hemp industry couldn’t withstand such a drastic price increase.

“Hemp food products already sell at a premium price to competing products such as soy or flax,” Crew said. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

“A 50 percent increase will most certainly have a devastating effect on growth…. I would prefer to see the continued collaboration and cooperation between the producers and processors than a position that will surely destroy the industry.”

At 65 cents per lb., hemp remains competitive with canola, Friesen said. Based on his calculations, 65 cents per lb. equals $28 per bu. of hemp grain.

“So we’re about twice the price of canola and that’s kind of the tipping point. If it’s better than twice the

price, people will tend to grow it because you get about two-thirds of canola yield, on average.”

Aside from price, western Canadian producers also choose to grow hemp for agronomic reasons, Friesen said.

In addition, hemp can be seeded late, which is an option to have in wet spring, Friesen said.

“We’ve had people seeding June 30 and still getting crops in southern Alberta. In Saskatchewan, people can seed up to the middle of June and still get reasonable crops.”

WEATHER | SUGAR BEETS

Sugar beet prices may entice growers 30-year high | Despite weather challenges sugar prices may attract more acres

BY RIC SWIHART FREELANCE WRITER

LETHBRID GE — While many southern Alberta sugar beet growers might wish that they could forget last year’s tough growing season, record world sugar prices are starting to win them over, said the president of the Alberta Sugar Beet Growers Marketing Board.

Rob Boras of Picture Butte told delegates to the board’s 86th annual meeting Feb. 17 that last year challenged many growers.

Boras said the wet, adverse weather conditions from spring shifted in the

fall for a dry harvest period.

“Having achieved that, you should be able to reap some of the benefits of the high world sugar prices being experienced, translating into a level of return that hasn’t been seen in nearly 30 years,” said Boras. “That is truly something positive to look forward to.”

Boras said there were trying issues in the year. The most important was discussion about dumped sugar and the injur y it could cause to the domestic market served by Lantic Sugar and the sugar beet growers.

“After an incredible journey of almost a year, the tribunal hearing

the matter ruled that the duties would remain on U.S. sugar but not on European Union imports,” he said.

“Certainly we are disappointed in this outcome, and the industry, led by the Canadian Sugar Institute, is appealing.”

Michel Camps, chair for the board’s agriculture committee, also pointed to some of last year’s obstacles.

Weather problems in early spring cased the loss of about 744 acres of beets.

Most producers had to nervously wait until October in hopes of saving the crop, which worked out for many farmers in the end. access=subscriber section=crops,markets,news

Sugar beet growers faced many challenges last year. | As well, sugar beet researchers tested 26 varieties of seed in 2010, he said, all herbicide-tolerant types.

Farmers looking for pedigreed seed can now do the majority of their shopping online.

Late last year, the Canadian Seed Growers Association launched a new online seed locater that lists pedigreed seed crops that are eligible for sale in Canada at www.seedlocater. net.

In the past, farmers could access pedigreed seed listings in the fall by calling the CSGA, requesting the information and paying a fee.

Alternatively, they could wait until the following year when the information would be posted on the CSGA website and published in provincial seed guides.

The new system will allow farmers to access the information earlier and free of charge.

Producers can use drop down menus to select a province, crop and a variety, with names, locations and contact information for pedigreed seed growers.

The new service was launched to improve member services, according to a CSGA news release.

“This will increase our members’ marketability and make it easier to source certified seed,” the release said.

“The goal is to make it easier for large companies, millers, farmers and seed growers to find and buy certified seed.”

Members can enhance their listing by submitting their company logo and website address to Naylor Canada Inc., the Winnipeg-based company that constructed the website for the CSGA. For more information, contact Naylor at information@naylor.com or 800-665-2456.

To fund the project, online advertising will be included on the seed locater’s main web page and can be accessed at communications@seedgrowers.ca. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

MEAT INDUSTRY | GIPSA RULES

Planned changes would restrict U.S. meat processors Farm groups back rules | Packers say the rules would be costly and jobs would be lost

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREEELANCE WRITER

WYOMING, Ont. — Proposed regulatory changes intended to renew the laws of supply and demand have polarized the U.S. meat industry.

Packers and processors, along with a few farm organizations like the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, have condemned the proposed (GIPSA) Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards rule.

On the other side are many U.S. farm organizations, including the two largest, the American Farm Bureau and National Farmers Union.

Beef farmers gathered at a meeting at this southwestern Ontario community Feb. 3 heard from a Kansas State University economist supporting the packing industry’s point of view.

“These proposed rules create costs — the ability to feed the global market is going to be hampered,” Glynn Tonsor said.

“There’s easy for me to see more negatives than positives. I have not seen a comprehensive study that shows any net positive…. It’s probably no accident this was proposed under the current administration (of president Barack Obama) and not under the previous administration.”

The National Farmers Union in the U.S. praises the Obama administration and secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack.

“This administration has been most active on producer protection against the packing industry in the past 12 years that I’ve been involved with agricultural politics,” said Chandler Goule, NFU vice-president of government relations.

“The four major packers (in the beef industry) all posted profits in the past three years where we have only seen decreases in producers and a consolidation of the industry.”

The rules address concerns within the beef, swine and poultry industries. Following are some of the key points: • packers and those working for them would be required to maintain written records to justify differential pricing, any deviation from standard price or contract terms. The overall emphasis is to ensure comparable pricing for animals of equal value; • it would be a violation of the Packers and Stockyards Act when a packer or their agent offers better price terms to producers who can offer a large numbers of livestock than to a group of producers who can offer the same volume of equal quality; • dealers buying livestock on behalf of the packing industry may only represent one packer. In addition, packers and their agents would be prohibited from buying livestock from each other. The provisions are intended to open the market to more buyers, increase participation in the cow-bull slaughter, and prevent collusion between multiple packers who use one dealer; • production contracts would need to be long enough to allow producers to recover 80 percent of their capital cost investment;

An unfair practice would no longer have to cause competitive injury in order to be defined as an unfair practice — as U.S. circuit courts have ruled in the past. Many practices can be unfair but not anticompetitive.

Examples of practices that are unfair but not anticompetitive in the poultry industry include the use of inaccurate scales, not allowing growers to watch birds being weighed, supplying growers with substandard feed and giving growers sick birds to raise.

Three studies, paid for by organizations representing packers and poultry processors, found enormous costs associated with the proposed rules. While Tonsor said the numbers may be exaggerated, he feels they reflect real concerns.

Informa Economics, Inc., estimates costs for the beef, pork and poultry industries would increase by more than $1.5 billion. In addition, the study shows 23,000 jobs would be lost.

John Dunham and Associates estimated a $14 billion reduction in gross domestic product in the U.S., the loss of 104,000 jobs and a 3.3 percent increase in retail meat prices.

Livestock producers say processors have reaped profits at their expense and believe the proposed changes will address their concerns. | FILE PHOTO FarmEcon estimates increased poultry industry costs of $1.03 billion.

Along with higher costs, Tonsor said consumers and farmers would be negatively affected. The retail price of meat would rise and farmgate prices would fall.

Tonsor said one of the biggest concerns of the packing industry relates the competitive injur y clause.

According to the Informa study, its removal would reduce negative impacts from the proposed rule changes by about 75 percent.

Tonsor said he believes the proposed legislation will move forward,

although certain parts could be altered or dropped. The final draft of the rules is to be released in June with a period for comment running until late November.

There’s a move among farm organizations supporting the GIPSA rule to go even further. A group of 85 farm organizations sent a letter to Vilsack Feb. 3 asking that beef packers be banned from leveraging their captive supplies to manipulate the pricediscovery process.

R-CALF USA is one.

Restoring a meaningful market to independent livestock producers is the first step to restoring economic opportunities for everyone in rural America,” said Bill Bullard, chief executive officer of R-CALF. R-CALF was contacted for further comment but the organization has a policy not to answer questions from the Canadian media.

Manitoba group on fundraising drive for rail line River Hills Railroad Inc. | Farmers and shareholders must raise $7 million by May 31 for the 100 kilometre CPR track

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Older folks are sometimes skeptical of new ideas, possibly because they’ve been around long enough to understand the consequences of unfounded optimism.

But many members of the older generation are jumping on board

what is still a new idea in Manitoba — a short-line railway owned and operated by farmers.

“What we’re really finding is that older people are coming forward….

We have (a) shareholder who bought in recently, that man is 94 years old,” said Darin Bouchard, who farms near Cypress River, Man. Bouchard and dozens of other pro-

ducers from Treherne, Glenboro, Holland and Wawanesa, Man., have bought shares in River Hills Railroad Inc. The farmers and other shareholders are planning to buy 100 kilometres of track from Canadian Pacific Railway between Rathwell and Nesbitt, Man. CPR planned to abandon the line but agreed to sell it to River Hills Railroad

for $7 million. The short-line shareholders must provide CPR with a $700,000 down payment by the end of February and must complete the purchase by May 31, according to a memorandum on the short-line’s website.

Sales of shares have been successful so far, but a final push is needed to reach the objective, Bouchard said.

the initial seed money drive. Right now we’re going back to those shareholders and they’re putting money in,” said Bouchard, River Hills Railroad vice-president.

While a few investors live in the towns along the line, most shareholders are farmers, Bouchard said.

The shortline would serve an area that produced 1.41 million tonnes of grain, or the equivalent of 17,279 rail cars, in the 2007-08 crop year. In the offering memorandum, the company noted its business plan is based on transporting no more than 10 percent of that grain production during its first five years in operation.

If the group’s bid is successful, River Hills Railroad will become the second short-line railway in southern Manitoba.

In June of 2009 Boundary Trail Railway Company (BTRC) began hauling cars on 37 km of track between Manitou and Morden.

Travis Long, BTRC general manager, said short-line operators shouldn’t assume that local producers will automatically use the railway.

From the middle of June 2009 to Aug. 1, 2010, BTRC shipped about 500 cars, which was at the low end of its goal for the 2009-10 crop year, Long said.

“Generally speaking we’re very pleased. But we see that there’s going to be a lot of work ahead of us to be successful in the long term.”

One obstacle, he explained, has been convincing farmers that shortlines provide better service than the major railroads did in the past.

“One of the challenges is that a lot of people loaded producer cars years ago and their experiences weren’t necessarily very good,” he said.

For instance, the railways would often give a farmer minimal notice to deliver grain.

“His phone would ring and it would be someone saying a (producer) car was left there half an hour ago and you’ve got 18 hours to fill it.”

The farmer would scramble to fill the rail car but it would end up sitting on the track for a week or more, before the rail company got around to picking it up, Long said.

“So there was a lot of aggravation with that.”

Despite problems around perception, Long said BTRC expects to meet its goal of shipping 550 rail cars in 2010-11 crop year.

WEATHER | FLOOD CONDITIONS

Watershed authority puts Sask. farmers on flood alert

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

Two of three factors that generate flood conditions already exist, prompting a regional manager with t h e S a s k a t c h e w a n Wa t e r s h e d Authority office in Yorkton to recommend that Saskatchewan farmers be extremely vigilant this spring.

Warren Thomson said there are three conditions that combine to create flooding: a wet fall, a high snow pack and a fast rate of melt in spring.

With last year’s unusually wet fall conditions, Thomson said some of the highest water levels on record exist and little storage capacity remains in the soil and sloughs.

Records have also been broken in the province for snowfall, leading to an above-normal runoff being expected across most of Saskatchewan. The only factor that could help temper the situation is a slow rate of snow melt.

“If we start getting some warm days, and it continues to freeze at night, that’s going to create a big improvement. But if it remains cold into the spring, then all of a sudden it turns quite warm, that will increase peak flow, which leads to roads overtopping and streams and rivers flooding out of their banks.”

In his 32 years of experience with the SWA, Thomson said he’s only heard of three other years that have had similar conditions. One was in 1956 and the others were in 1974 and

1995, all of which created flood situations in the spring.

The latest SWA Preliminary Runoff Outlook for Saskatchewan came to the following conclusion: “In summary, above normal summer and fall rainfall across the entire agricultural portion of the province and above normal snowfall to date could potentially result in high spring runoff.

“Even with average weather conditions between now and runoff, there will be some flooding.

“Unfavourable weather conditions between now and spring runoff, such as above normal precipitation and/ or a rapid melt, will significantly increase the level of flooding.”

Thomson’s advice to farmers is to prepare now for what might be coming down the road, particularly in regards to protecting farm sites and buildings.

The establishment of protective berms or dikes can be undertaken on one’s own land, as can the digging of drainage ditches, which would channel water out of problem areas or nearby sloughs.

However, if any water leaves an owner’s land, the SWA Act, 2005, comes into effect, requiring approval from the SWA. With that process taking up to a year to complete, Thomson said farmers won’t be able to consider any downstream drainage to alleviate a flood situation this spring, unless the work is being done on one’s own land.

Even with average weather conditions between now and runoff, there will be some flooding.

“However, in situations like this, we may be able to allow you to proceed with some emergency work and allow the regulatory process to catch

up after the fact if necessary.”

If any work w ill affect dow nstream neighbours, Thomson said the SWA must be notified and the downstream neighbours must be consulted.

official permission, the response is something like, ‘he didn’t talk to me, so he’ll never get permission now.’”

In response to this year’s wet conditions, Thomson is expecting the provincial government to offer flood assistance and the five regional Saskatchewan Watershed Authority offices can offer technical assistance with preventive measures like establishing berms, building ditches and sandbagging.

Thomson expects the Yorkton, Nipawin, Weyburn, Swift Current and North Battleford offices to be busy once melting starts to occur.

Sectors at odds on EU trade deal

GET ACTIVE COME TO MANA FOR BRAND NAME PRODUCTS AT FAIR PRICES.

Potato sector pleased | The dairy sector worries about supply management protection BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Free trade negotiations with the European Union are all about opportunity for Prince Edward Island food processor Cavendish Farms.

The potato, french fry and appetizer company exports around the world but not into tariff-protected Europe, general manager Ron Clow told the House of Commons international trade committee last week.

“Currently, the tariff (on fried potato products) stands at 14.4 percent and we’re hopeful this tariff is immediately eliminated through these negotiations,” he said.

“Sweet potatoes and fried vegetable tariffs are even higher at 17.3 percent and we too hope that this tariff is repealed in a timely manner.”

Cavendish, North America’s fourth largest frozen potato producer, exports 88 percent of its product.

Europe would be a natural market if it was accessible.

“Atlantic Canada in particular stands to gain from the successful conclusion of this negotiation due to the inexpensive cost of shipping by sea,” he said.

“It is as cheap for us to ship product to Europe out of Halifax than it is to truck it to a market like Chicago.”

Clow said a deal would help preserve the company’s 940 jobs and allow expansion of the workforce.

The message to MPs from Dairy Farmers of Canada was much different. It was a warning about potential losses.

Richard Doyle, executive director of Dairy Farmers of Canada, said a key demand by European negotiators is greater access to Canada’s cheese and milk products market.

He acknowledged that the federal government continues to insist that supply management protections will be defended.

“That being said, the Europeans continue to seek access to our dairy market and we urge the Canadian government to continue to remain

firm, opposing any concessions in this area,” said Doyle.

He warned that any concessions to Europe, particularly to their demand that more European cheese be allowed into Canada, would undermine the Canadian defense of supply management in World Trade Organization talks.

He also said that while the Canadian dairy system is often portrayed as closed to imports, two-way trade with European Union countries tell a different story.

The value of dairy product exports to EU countries total $26 million annually while the value of imports is $217 million.

“Canada imports almost 10 times more dairy products from the EU than the EU imports from Canada,” he told MPs. “ For a market that is 15 times smaller, it is hard to say that Canada is a closed shop.”

Doyle said another danger is the EU insistence that geographic indicators be respected. This position would not allow Canadian cheese to use names that are connected to European locations where that type of cheese originated.

Doyle said European immigrants brought their cheese making skills with them and created brands based on the recipes from their native regions, such as parmesan and feta.

“We developed a whole industry based on that,” he said.

“To right that many years later and say, ‘oh, you cannot use those names anymore’ is totally unacceptable and will create a great deal of confusion.”

The geographic indicators debate also is a major issue for the Canadian wine industry.

CROPS | SOYBEANS

BEANS | PROSPECTS

Soybeans top choice in Red River Valley

Edible bean industry dwindles in Manitoba Price uncertainty a factor | Navy bean acres will lose out to increased soybean plantings this spring STORIES BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Sunflower, bean acreages expected to fall in 2011 Soybeans are king this year, say three leading special crop growers in Manitoba’s Red River Valley.

The combination of high prices and hardiness means many other farmers will likely be thinking the same thing.

“It looks like we’ll have a wet spring again, and they’re a good choice going into that,” Altona farmer Kyle Friesen said in an interview during the Manitoba Special Crops Symposium.

LaSalle farmer Albert Turski concurred. He regrets the rotational limitations that stop him from pushing his soybean acreage beyond 40 percent of his land base.

“It’d be nice to put three-quarters of the whole farm in soybeans.”

Beausejour farmer Andrew Saramanga plans to grow 1,000 acres of soybeans this year, but the forage seed crops in his rotation won’t allow him to go any further.

Farmers expressed excitement about soybean price and production prospects during the conference but seemed less excited about sunflowers and edible beans.

Industry experts expect sunflower acres to drop 25 percent this spring and edible bean acres could fall 30 percent.

The decade-long slump in edible bean acres is partly the result of soybean expansion in Manitoba, while the crash in sunflowers is blamed on continuing problems with saturated soil and sclerotinia infections.

The disease problems have prompted Friesen to stay clear of sunflowers this year.

“We’ve had disease, they don’t handle moisture well and there are poor weed control products.”

Saramanga is taking another approach by increasing his sunflower acreage.

“It’s one of those things where if everyone’s running away from it, maybe it’s time to run to it,” he said.

Saramanga and Friesen plan to increase their oat acres.

Saramanga said good contract prices for new crop oats are an enticement, while Friesen said prices plus freedom from Canadian Wheat Board complications make oats the favoured cereal crop on his farm.

All three farmers face problems with wet soil this spring.

“After a 10-year cycle of wet weather, I’m just getting sick of rubber boots and water on the fields,” said Saramanga.

Turski said endless wet weather has dimmed memories of drought conditions that caused problems in the past.

“I’d rather lose my crop to drought than to more wet weather because at least I can sit under a tree with a cold beer if it’s dry,” Turski said jokingly. access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

Buyers will look elsewhere for supplies if Manitoba farmers don’t keep planting edible beans, warns a major Ontario bean buyer.

However, Jim Barclay of Hensall District Co-op wasn’t able to give Manitoba farmer Curtis Sims much of a response to the challenge of why Manitoba farmers should care.

“You either have to be a contrarian or a fool to grow edible beans this year,” said Sims.

“Your prices are so far out.… Soybeans are up again today and you guys are down here. It’s just ridiculous.”

Sims said the bean market appears to have an attention span “of a fiveyear-old” and sends confusing signals to growers.

“Everything past thee months is a complete surprise. No idea what’s going to happen beyond three months.…

“How can we get this market to actually try to react in the same real world as the other crops and respond so we don’t get these fast ups and downs and frustrations and so on?”

Barclay, whose company works in

Manitoba farmers planted 500,000 acres of soybeans last year. Analysts predict 750,000 acres in 2011. | FILE PHOTO the middle between farmers and end users, couldn’t offer a promise of better bean market clarity in the future.

“I don’t know if there’s a rebuttal I

can give to it, because I’m not a direct end user, but I appreciate your comments,” said Barclay.

Manitoba’s edible bean industry appears to be in terminal decline, with acreage collapsing in the past decade.

Navy bean acres have dropped to 30,000 projected for 2011 from 120,000 acres in 2001.

The story is similar across North America, where edible bean acreage is expected to fall by 30 percent because of weak prices caused by hefty carryout 2010-11 stocks in pintos and black beans.

However, Barclay said navy bean carryout stocks should drop drastically to 14 million pounds from 172 million lb.

New crop navy bean prices are 32 cents per pound, he added, compared to old crop prices of 25 to 27 cents per pound.

Navy bean acres are expected to slump by 30 percent, regardless of the price increase, mainly because of the fast expansion of the soybean crop in Manitoba.

The steady rise of soybean acres in Manitoba since 2001 is a mirror image of the decline of edible bean acres.

Farmers have embraced soybeans

in Manitoba.

The crop reached 500,000 acres last year and some analysts are calling for 750,000 acres in 2011.

The crop is easy to grow and market and high prices are attracting growers’ attention Barclay said Manitoba farmers need to understand that buyers will turn their attention from Manitoba’s declining acreage to the expanding acreage in North Dakota if they can’t find beans.

“It’s about sustainability,” said Barclay.

“We need to support the end users with acreage or they will get it elsewhere.”

He said the industry needs to find a way to make beans enticing again because he thinks more than just price is behind the shift from edible beans to soybeans.

“We have had some pretty good prices from 2001 to 2011. What is it about the soybeans that everybody likes so much and how can we bring some of that into the dry beans to keep that sustainable?”

Production practices such as direct harvesting could draw farmers back to beans, Barclay said.

In Ontario, about 90 percent of edible beans are direct harvested. access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

GENETICS | ETHANOL TRAIT

U.S. corn gets first GM end user trait Millers worry about contamination | New variety creates its own alpha amylase, which benefits the ethanol industry

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TULARE, Calif. — The first American crop to contain an end user trait has been approved for sale.

A synthetic gene taken from a micro-organism that lives near hot water vents on the ocean’s floor provides a trait that improves distilling efficiency in corn.

Syngenta, which developed the hybrid corn, said the trait improves energy efficiency and ethanol production by eight percent. The trait causes corn to make its own alpha amylase, which ethanol manufacturers now add to the fermentation process.

However, some members of the American grain industry didn’t welcome news of the new trait.

“USDA has failed to provide the public with sufficient scientific data on the economic impacts of contamination on food production,” said access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

Mary Waters, president of the North American Millers’ Association.

Waters said Syngenta’s 3272 amylase corn trait, which it calls Enogen, might cause significant problems with food corn quality if it was commingled with milling type corn.

She said the U.S. Department of Agriculture failed to properly show how farmers and distillers would contain the crop and prevent it from mixing with other seed.

Syngenta expects 25,000 acres of the crop to be planted this spring.

More than one-third of the U.S. corn crop is now used for ethanol production, so success with the new Syngenta genetics could drive a rapid expansion of acres for Enogenenhanced corn.

The company said in a news release that the crop can be contained by ensuring that growers produce it only for local distillers and by paying them incentives to produce only the Enogen corn.

Farmers growing it under contract would be expected to take other measures to ensure grain segregation and minimal pollen flow.

Millers are worried about Enogen because of what happened with StarLink, a non-food genetically modified corn variety developed for livestock production that showed up in human food corn exports in 2000.

As a result, the Aventis CropScience variety was withdrawn from the market.

Syngenta said it is prepared to work with the industry to ensure that corn exports are not endangered.

A l p ha a my l a s e i s a l re a d y a n improved food ingredient, it added.

Steve McNinch, chief executive officer of Western Plains Energy in Oakley, Kansas, where the variety was tested, said his company was impressed with the efficiency gains and doesn’t want to go back to using non-Enogen corn and adding a liquid amylase supplement to its ethanol processes.

The National Corn Growers’ Association also welcomed the new variety. It follows the approval two weeks ago of RoundUp Ready alfalfa and sugar beets.

Jerry Gano of WL Research in Fresno, California, said Monsanto’s new Genuity alfalfa is a boon for American cattle producers.

“We ended up waiting a little longer than we anticipated for its release after it was first approved and then put on hold by the courts until USDA could show it met all the conditions placed on it,” he said at the recent World Ag Expo farm show in Tulare.

Newly retired dairy producer Jim Captein of Galt, Calif., said the American dairy industry is under so much financial pressure that farmers need every possible financial advantage if they are to return to profitability.

“We need all the tools we can get,” he said.

Gano said the glyphosate tolerant trait in alfalfa would help producers control costs and reduce their use of other herbicides.

The people who run the St. Lawrence Seaway are putting more incentives in place to attract business to the inland waterway.

The seaway corporation last week announced the launch of a new Service Incentive Program for the 2011 shipping season.

The purpose is to help carriers develop or expand services between the Great Lakes and global markets.

The new program, combined with the existing New Business Incentive, is expected to provide a total discount of 40 percent on tolls and assist in developing new business.

The seaway also announced last week that a three-year freeze on tolls introduced in 2008 will be carried on at least through 2011.

Bruce Hodgson, director of market development for the seaway corporation, said shipping statistics over the last few years underscore the success of incentive programs.

“This reinforces the need to continue to promote the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System by continuing to offer incentives that highlight the benefits of the system,” he said.

Total tonnage increased by 15.5 percent in 2010 to 35.5 million tonnes, including one million tonnes of new business under the incentive programs.

Grain movement was higher by about 10 percent in 2010 at nine million tonnes.

“Given the recuperation of the economy, an extra year with no toll increase will assist our stakeholders in their efforts to develop new business,” said Hodgson, director of marketing for the seaway corporation.

Seaway president and chief executive officer Terry Bowles said in a news release the freeze is part of the corporation’s efforts to reduce the cost and complexity of the system and attract new cargo.

He said the freeze plus various incentive programs represent “tangible steps” toward meeting those objectives. Seaway officials are expecting an increase in business of about four to nine percent in 2011, to around 37 million tonnes.

SSUMPTION, Ill. (Reuters) — The environmental group Friends of the Earth said the rising demand for biofuel is driving a new land grab in Africa.

Such concerns flared in 2008 when a lease by South Korea’s Daewoo for nearly half of the arable land in Madagascar triggered a wave of protests that eventually ousted president Marc Ravalomanana.

Last October, a code of principles for responsible agricultural investment proposed by the World Bank and United Nations agencies failed to win widespread backing.

Activists say the risk of exploitation remains as corporations and private funds invest billions into land.

“We are demanding … a moratorium on large transactions (over 120,000 acres) which involve foreign investments in farmland in developing countries until there’s adequate, legally binding regulation,” said Soren Ambrose, international policy manager for the charity ActionAid. But some in the industry say things are already improving.

“Corporate agriculture is lifting management standards on governance and sustainability in agricultural investments,” said Tim Hornibrook, division director at Macquarie Agricultural Funds Management, which manages 7.9 million acres of Australian farmland on behalf of investors and is considering expanding into other regions.

“Corporates cannot afford to do the wrong thing from an environmental and community perspective because of the greater (media) headline risk they carry.”

Philippe de Lapérouse, managing director of global food, agribusiness and biofuels at the consulting firm HighQuest Partners, said reputational risk is important to investment funds because of their investor base.

“They’re sensitive to being viewed as investors who are transparent and whose activity is a positive development, not a negative one.”

That’s one reason why some land investment funds sign up to existing sustainability schemes and certification codes, including EUREGAP certification, Food and Agriculture Organization practices and the International Finance Corp’s environmental and social standards.

Industry players say better transparency will help local communities and investors.

On one project in Mozambique, it sponsors an orphanage, has built two bore holes, connected a town to electricity and cleared land so local people can produce their own food.

“Our projects are always in partnership with local communities and consensual,” Payne said.

“If you’re on the ground locally where there are food scarcity issues and you can alleviate these directly and empower local communities in so doing, it is a win-win situation for all involved.”

That mantra is becoming more common in Africa.

James Howard, manager of the Futuregrowth Agri-Fund, is a recent convert.

“We realized that good agricultural land, with water rights and everything else, wherever in the world you look, has, over time, outperformed CPI (consumer price index) inflation,” he said.

“It’s a far better return. All of a sudden the world is waking up and saying, ‘wow, emerging markets, food security … this asset class is going to really perform in the medium term, the next eight to 20 years.’”

Howard’s fund was launched late last year and plans to spend $900 million on land split evenly between South Africa and the rest of the continent.

International investors from Britain, China, the Netherlands, and the United States have already committed the cash.

The South African part of the fund completed its first deal on Christmas

Eve, a large farm 150 kilometres northeast of Johannesburg that will be run by an established agri-business firm looking to export oranges.

It ’s an increasingly common arrangement.

An investor buys land, which is then leased to a large operator, typically a public or private food/agribusiness firm. The operator runs it and processes and exports the produce.

The model works partly because agri-operators are under consumer pressure to account for the provenance of all their fruit, meat and other produce but don’t want the hassle of land assets clogging up their balance sheets.

Howard said his fund will maintain tight oversight through a proprietary information technology system that monitors every aspect of how the farm is run.

“We’ve got agronomies and guys on the ground, and they look at the budgets and see what is spent and when it is spent,” he said.

The farm has computerized irrigation, and every section of every row is bar coded so that each orange can be traced from the moment it is picked to the moment it goes on sale in China a couple of weeks later.

“You can buy an orange in Beijing, and as long as you can see the box, you can trace it right back to this row of trees here,” said farm manager Ne l u s P o t g i e t e r a s h e w a l k e d through the lush aisles of his citrus plantation.

“That’s pretty impressive.”

FARM POLICY

Food inflation controls may backfire: Cargill BIRMINGHAM, U.K. (Reuters) — Government efforts to control prices, now that food inflation has risen to the top of political agendas across the globe, may hamper a needed increase in supplies, a Cargill director warned.

Paul Conway, senior vicepresident and board member with the U.S. agribusiness and trading giant, said it was clear that political instability in the Middle East was linked to food inflation and that the issue was set to be at the top of the G20 agenda.

“The good news is we believe we will see increased investment in infrastructure. We will see increased R and D (research and development) investment to improve yields, a second green revolution if you like,” he said.

He was wary, however, of any attempts by governments to hold down prices to help the urban poor, noting their needs were often given priority over those of rural farm communities.

RUSSIAN CROP

Credit crunch casts shadow on Russian spring seeding MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia’s farmers are under pressure to boost spring sowings to make up for a shortfall in winter acreage, but financing for the new season is in doubt after last year’s drought wiped out their credit.

Agriculture minister Yelena Skrynnik reiterated the official 201112 harvest forecast of 85 million tonnes of grain, but meeting the target will depend on access to financing for Russia’s farmers, the head of a producers’ group said.

“There is a strong link between these two things,” Pavel Skurikhin, president of the National Grain Producer’s Union, an industry lobby, said at the union’s annual congress.

Russia banned grain exports in the wake of a catastrophic 2010 drought, which wiped out more than a third of the grain crop.

An 85 million tonne harvest would leave Russia with a surplus of 15 million tonnes, but exports would likely be less, at seven to eight million because Russia will need to rebuild stocks.

Brazil’s soybean crop estimates on rise HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Good weather means Brazil’s 2011 soybean crop could rise to a new record of 71 million tonnes, considerably raising its potential exports, Hamburg-based oilseeds analysts Oil World said.

The new crop estimate is one million tonnes higher than Oil World’s previous forecast on Feb. 8. It is also above the 70.1 million tonnes forecast by Brazilian government crop agency Conab on Feb. 9.

“The Brazilian soybean crop is in excellent shape almost everywhere and initial harvesting resulted in very high yields,” Oil World said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

NEWS RESEARCH | FUNDING

REACHING NEW HEIGHTS IN AFFORDABLE GRASSY WEED

Ag research lobby efforts rewarded Funding campaign | Hearings will study research and development needed to improve markets, sustainability and food security BARRY WILSON

CONTROL

OTTAWA BUREAU

Months of farm group campaigning to convince government to increase investment in public basic research has finally hit a chord on Parliament Hill.

Last week, the Senate agriculture committee decided to hold hearings on agricultural research, giving itself up to 13 months to hold hearings and deliver a report.

The study’s mandate includes examining agricultural research and development efforts “in the context of developing markets, enhancing agricultural sustainability and improving food diversity and security.”

Senate committee hearings offer the industry a broad platform to argue their case for more government investment in basic agricultural research.

They are not restricted by the tighter rules and time restrictions of House of Commons committees and lack much of the partisan bickering seen in Commons committees.

Grain Growers of Canada first raised the issue more than a year ago, arguing that public research investment has never recovered from deep anti-deficit cuts imposed by the Liberals in the 1995 budget.

GGC says that in inflation-adjusted dollars, federal agricultural research spending is well below the level it was before the cuts. It has argued for a 10-year commitment to double research budgets to get spending

levels back to 1994 equivalents.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has rejected that call, insisting that a better approach is to invest in more targeted projects aimed at results that can quickly benefit farmers.

Increasing public research investment has been a common theme during farm lobby presentations on Parliament Hill during the past year.

Canadian Federation of Agriculture board member William Van Tassel told MPs on the Commons agriculture committee Feb . 15 that public investment is needed to give farmers the varieties they need to compete in the future.

“So when I’m talking about wheat, if you want to have the tools and if the private (sector) isn’t there, then the public has to push in also to have tools for farmers to be able to be competitive in the markets, to be able to have return on their investment and to be able to be there long term,” he said.

Most MPs have been sympathetic but have not made it a focus.

GGC lobbied the Liberal caucus on agricultural issues late last year, and some rural Senators were there.

“We pushed research as job number one,” executive director Richard Phillips said.

Senators thought it was a good idea, took it to their Conservative colleagues on the committee and the agriculture research study was born.

The Senate committee recently finished an extended study on forestry issues and was looking for a new focus. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

VAUXHALL, Alta. — A list of proposed user fees for Canadian Grain Commission services is scheduled for release March 1.

Assistant chief commissioner Jim Smolik told members of the Alberta Soft Wheat Producers Commission Feb. 17 that farmers will have one month to comment on the proposed fees before making recommendations to cabinet.

Smolik said the commission has a goal of cost recovery by the 2012-13 crop year.

Its fees have not increased since 1991 and do not cover the cost of services, he added.

The commission undertook a fivepart consultation process that has so far included a phone survey of pro-

ducers, preparation of a consultation document and consultation meetings. It also accepted 27 written submissions about fee increases.

Smolik said the commission will release information on the survey and written submissions after the proposed fee schedule is released in March.

Humphrey Banack, president of Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, told Smolik that his group and others were hard pressed to provide written submissions to the commission within the Dec. 14 to Jan. 31 window that was provided.

Smolik acknowledged the difficulty, but said the timing was affected by late harvest on the Prairies. The commission wanted to wait until harvest was complete before asking producers for submissions about the fee increases. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Pioneer corn offers double insect protection

CWB outlines business plan for ship buy to pacify critics

Reduced risk of resistance | Lower refuge requirement allows growers to increase Bt corn for higher yields

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pioneer Hi-Bred has received regulatory approval for a corn crop that provides insect resistance and decreases the need for refuge.

Optimum Intrasect is a stacked trait corn that offers growers dual mode insect protection through the combination of the Herculex I and YieldGard Corn Borer traits.

With most insect protection corn traits, there is a Canadian Food Inspection Agency requirement to set aside a 20 percent refuge area, in which the grower plants hybrids that

do not contain an insect protection trait.

The goal is to delay the development of insect resistance to Bt corn by ensuring there is a big enough population of susceptible insects feeding on the non-Bt corn to mate with insects that could potentially be developing a Bt corn resistance, ensuring offspring are also susceptible.

Because Optimum Intrasect contains two insect protection traits, there is less chance of creating a resistant population and less need for refuge. The CFIA has reduced the refuge requirement to five percent for Optimum Intrasect.

The benefit is they can increase the amount of Bt corn in their fields, which will give them a yield boost in years when they are facing infestations from the European corn borer and the corn rootworm.

“These products from Pioneer offer growers additional choices to help reduce refuge, maximize yields and preserve valuable Bt technology,” said Dave Harwood, technical services manager for Pioneer Hi-Bred Canada.

Hybrids with Optimum Intrasect provide protection against European corn borer, western bean cutworm and black cutworm.

The company plans to have widescale, on-farm demonstrations of the crop in Eastern Canada in 2011. The product will be commercially available this fall for planting in 2012.

Rachel Faust, technical marketing manager for Pioneer Hi-Bred, said the stacked trait was initially introduced in longer season varieties but the plan is to integrate it across the entire lineup.

She expects it will be available in shorter season varieties suitable for western Canadian conditions in a couple of years.

There are no known existing cases of resistant corn borers. access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

Wheat board says the purchase of the two ships will benefit prairie farmers

BY ADRIAN EWINS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Responding to critics of its decision to buy two new lakers, the Canadian Wheat Board has published what it calls its business plan to back up the project.

The $65 million purchase has received mixed support, with a number of farm groups complaining the numbers don’t add up and the purchase doesn’t make good financial sense for cash strapped farmers.

The board has attempted to answer those criticisms by posting two documents on the board’s website.

One is a question and answer about the project, and the other is a letter to producers from CWB chair Allen Oberg.

In his letter, Oberg said the purchase is based on a “very strong” business case that will result in significant economic benefits for prairie farmers.

“This will generate revenue for decades to come and pay for itself many times over, just as CWB ownership of rail hopper cars has done.”

Oberg listed five areas in which the business merits of the deal can be seen: • Investment — The upfront cost of $65 million will be paid from CWB revenues over four years, which works out to less that $1 per tonne, or half of one percent of expected CWB gross revenues.

• Return — Benefits begin accruing as soon as the ships are in the water and accrue to all grain farmers equally, regardless of whether their grain is shipped east or west.

Net revenues, after costs of operation and maintenance, will be around $10 million annually. The ships will pay for themselves in seven years and will produce revenue for the board and farmers for at least 25 years of service.

• Risk — Risk is low. Capacity on such vessels is in high demand, not only from the CWB but from other bulk shippers of both eastbound and westbound (largely iron ore) traffic. The CWB will share in revenue from all commodities carried.

• Opportunity — This the ideal time for such an investment, with a strong Canadian dollar, the recent removal of import tariffs on foreign built vessels and strong demand for business at shipyards around the world. The board is in a good negotiating position.

Oberg said the purchase fits well with the board’s mandate to maximize financial returns to farmers from marketing wheat and barley.

Transportation is a big part of marketing and this deal will have a direct impact on those costs.

Watch canola prices; prepare to take action: expert Speculative buyers support rally | Potential for volatility

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A p ro m i n e nt ma rk e t a na l y s t warned canola producers earlier this month to watch for a disruption in what had been a steady price rally.

The next day, the market saw a reversal that lasted for several days.

Mike Jubinville, a market analyst and president of ProFarmer Canada, told growers at a Feb. 10 meeting in Rosetown, Sask., there is strong demand for oilseeds.

However, erratic price fluctuations could occur at any time and that could signal the rally is nearing its top, he warned.

A similar situation evolved in 2008, he added.

Between Aug. 1, 2007, and Feb. 1, 2008, the value of November 2008 canola futures rose from $429 a tonne to $584.

There were periodic corrections but the trend was steadily upward.

But by late February 2008, markets were showing signs of extreme volatility. The price peaked at more than $760 but by April 1 had fallen to $550, victim of a pull out by speculators and the financial crisis that saw huge U.S. banks collapse.

Jubinville said similar volatility could evolve in canola in 2011.

“I’m looking for the same kinds of market volatility to evolve (this year) and when they do, I’ll take that as real sign that we do need to do something,” he said.

“When the market stops grinding higher and turns into one where you have aggressive, volatile activity punctuated by cash basis levels that widen out to absurd levels like we saw during (2008), that would signify to me that the cash trade is pulling away from the marketplace and now it’s being driven by a speculative component.”

In February 2008, canola basis was $30 to $35 under the nearby contract.

MIKE JUBINVILLE ANALYST

This year it is closer to $15 under.

Jubinville said world vegetable oil demand has increased steadily for three decades and global stocks-touse ratios are at their lowest point.

However, markets are also heavily influenced by speculative buyers who see commodities as a safe haven for investment money.

Prices could plunge if those investors abandon their speculative positions, leaving grain and oilseed producers to wonder what hit them.

“The market structure on how we trade commodities today is quite a bit different than it was a few years ago,” Jubinville said. access=subscriber section=crops,markets,none

Analysts predict the canola crop could be as high as 20 million acres this spring. | FILE PHOTO “ Th e pictu re to day is a lm o st unimaginable relative to where we were 10 years ago in terms of the amount of speculative money that is in play in various commodities, including oilseeds.”

Investment funds have supported the grain market rally since last summer.

“But this kind of speculative influence has also created the potential for increased volatility in the marketplace and that’s just something that you as producers are going to have to get used to,” he said.

Oilseed analysts expect Canadian growers to plant a huge canola crop this year, possibly more than 20 million acres.

“Farmers can make money at these prices and that’s certainly adding to expectations that a lot of canola acres will be going in,” he said.

“But whether we can get all of this crop in the ground is going to be a big question mark.”

Much of Western Canada has extremely high soil moisture levels and acreage could fall well below predictions if there is a late, wet spring.

Demand should remain strong in the coming year. Jubinville estimated that Canada’s domestic canola crush could consume as much as six million tonnes of top quality canola.

A federal mandate to be imple-

mented July 1 requiring a two percent biodiesel component in all Canadian diesel fuel stocks is expected to add f u r t h e r d e ma n d f o r Ca na d i a n oilseeds.

However, seeding intentions are hard to predict because margins for durum, spring wheat and malting barley are also appealing.

Ju b i n v i l l e s a i d c o m p e t i t i o n between corn and soybean for seeded acres is also heating up in the United States.

Last week, the U. S. Department of Agriculture issued a preliminary estimate for 2011 corn planting at 92 million acres, up 4.3 percent from 2010, and 2011 soybean plantings at 78 million acres, up slightly from last year’s 77.4 million. The first forecast based on farmer surveys comes out March 31.

Production news from South American soybean producing areas also warrants close attention, as does economic news from China and other key markets.

Jubinville said China has taken steps several times in recent months to cool the country’s red hot economy to try to control inflation.

However those efforts have been short lived.

China needs commodities, including North American oilseeds, and demand is likely to remain strong.

WEATHER | WHEAT

No end seen for China drought BEIJING (Reuters) — China’s ongoing drought in northern wheat areas is likely to last, putting the winter wheat crop in further jeopardy, the agriculture ministry said.

Those regions that have benefited from rain or irrigation might suffer a recurrence of drought as temperatures rise .

The drought is also likely to spread further in northern wheat growing areas in the second half of this month with forecasts predicting drier and hotter weather than normal.

“While the (overall) size of droughtaffected land has shrunk, the antidrought situation is still grim,” said Guo Tiancai, deputy chief of the ministry’s team of wheat experts.

There are conflicting stories about China’s wheat crop almost daily.

Some say the situation is dire, oth-

ers say emergency irrigation will likely preserve the crop and others say large government stocks provide a comfortable cushion if production falls.

The government has stepped up irrigation efforts to relieve what is being described as the region’s worst drought in half a century. Restrictions on industrial water use have been imposed to guarantee supplies for human consumption and livestock.

China’s response has been driven in part by concerns that grain shortages will add to inflationary pressures in the economy.

Foreign ministry spokesperson Ma Zhaoxu said China’s large stockpiles of grain would help minimize the impact of the drought on world prices. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Producers can reduce the risk of contaminating their crops with E. coli by not harvesting them too early, researchers have found.

“E. coli is actually quite active in the rhizosphere,” said Ron Turco, an agronomy professor at Perdue University who co-wrote a study published this winter in the Journal of Food Protection.

“Any kind of growing plant has a rhizosphere, a region around itself where there are plant carbon materials the plant creates, so E. coli is quite capable of functioning in these regions.”

He said E. coli is able to live for several weeks around the roots of plants and transfer to the edible portions.

His team added E. coli to soil by applying manure and water treated with manure around the roots of lettuce and radishes.

They observed E. coli’s activity in the plants’ rhizosphere by using a bioluminescent strain that glows when active.

These marked strains allowed researchers to observe bacterial col-

E. coli eventually get into aboveground edible surfaces as they colonize the soil around the plant. They can live there for several weeks but die off as the plant matures.

Researchers treated radish and lettuce seeds with E.coli, grew them in an agar-based system and then watched the bacteria rapidly colo-

nize the germinating seeds. The same rapid colonization was seen in soil fed with manure.

E.coli was detected on the edible parts of lettuce within 15 days after establishing in the rhizosphere.

However, the bacteria was not detected on the plants after 27 days, even though it persisted in the bulk soil and the rhizosphere.

“The E. coli die off to a pretty low number after 40 days,” said Turco.

“They do well on young plants, but as the plant ages and the roots dry up, they drop off. If you mix younger plants with older ones, you spread E. coli (to all plants). You need to package plants with pretty similar ages, especially in those pre-packaged mixes.”

E. coli thrive in the rhizosphere

because they likes the warmth caused by close proximity to the growing surface and the nutritious plant material leaking from the roots.

Deeper soil is lower in nutrients.

Producers should apply manure to fields well in advance of planting and harvesting. Turco suggested a wait of 90 to 120 days between manure application and harvesting and a minimum of 40 days between planting and harvesting.

However, Turco warned that contamination can also come from other sources. Animals moving through a field, such as dogs, loose livestock and wild animals, can also infect plants.

Turco stressed the importance of not mixing young and old plants and ensuring cleanliness in all stages of seed selection, planting, growing and harvesting Mussie Habteselassie, an assistant professor of soil microbiology at the University of Georgia, said harvesting practices in manure-treated fields can be critical for produce crops.

“If you harvest young and old plants together or mix them after harvesting, there is a risk of contamination of the older plants,” said Habteselassie.

“If plants are uprooted during harvest, there is also a possibility of contamination from E. coli living in the rhizosphere.”

Turco is also researching E. coli’s ability to survive in different situations, including water and processed produce. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Organic branding effort keeps moving forward

Organic producers hope to develop a consistent marketing approach to attract more business, regardless of size or place within the industry. | FILE PHOTO

DRESDEN, Ont. — It’s still unclear how the Biologique Canada Organic seal will fit into the organic industry’s branding effort.

Some members of the industry, including the Choices Market chain in British Columbia, have assumed it was created to identify organic products that are “Canadian made, processed or grown.”

But Gunta Vintins, a member of the Organic Value Chain Roundtable, says the seal can also be placed on access=subscriber section=crops,news,markets

Don’t go it alone!

Despite glyphosate’s well-earned reputation for pre-seed burn-off, some weeds just didn’t get the memo. They shrug off the application and keep right on growing. Crank up the rate all you want, but glyphosate still misses a bunch of hard-to-kill weeds.

That’s when your glyphosate needs help, fast. The solution?

Add DuPont™ Express® brand herbicides to your burn-off application. With hotter-than-hot systemic action, winter annuals, dandelion and volunteer Roundup Ready® canola suddenly aren’t so tough anymore. You’ll have significantly cleaner fields than with glyphosate alone.

Express® SG turns up the heat ™ on dandelion, volunteer canola, narrow-leaved hawk’s-beard, flixweed, stinkweed and wild buckwheat. Express® PRO delivers up to 15 days of extended control† on tough weeds like cleavers, dandelion and narrowleaved hawk’s-beard. It’s no wonder Express® brand herbicides are used on more pre-seed acres than any other brand on the Prairies!

This season, don’t go it alone. Add Express® brand herbicides for the hottest weed control in the West.

organic products imported into Canada as long as they meet Canadian organic standards.

The confusion may have started when the designation, with its red maple leaf and green hills, was unveiled in June 2009, just days before Canada’s Organic Products Regulations came into effect.

“This organic logo allows consumers to make informed, confident choices,” federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said at the time.

“At the same time, the new regulations will allow Canadian organic farmers to have their products recognized in this emerging market.”

Vintins believes that imported products carrying the seal will also need to carry the word “imported.”

Members of the organic industry are not the only ones confused.

Farmers in southwestern Ontario have found that consumers are often confused as to where the food they buy comes from.

Alice Uher of Chatham said it had been hoped that the Product of Canada designation introduced in 2008 would help, but many products do not qualify.

“The original recommendation was for 85 percent Canadian content (to be eligible for the designation),” she said.

“That was thrown to the side and then 98 percent was brought in.”

Vintins hopes the organic industry’s branding effort has better results.

One of the most recent developments was the release of the slogan, “it’s in our good nature.”

Jean-Pierre Lacroix of the Torontobased marketing firm Shikatani Lacroix, worked with 25 industry stakeholders to find a way for Canada’s organic industry to build a competitive edge.

“The slogan talks to Canadian price and the Canadian approach. We’re a lot more collaborative,” Lacroix said. “ ‘It’s in our good nature’ ” speaks to how people around the world conceive Canada.”

Lacroix said Agriculture Canada staff made a substantial contribution during the process that culminated in the slogan.

He said it is intended to reflect key pillars of Canada’s organic industry such as product value, integrity, sustainability and the passion of those involved.

Vintins said the second phase of the branding effort will involve developing and refining a marketing and communication concept. It will include consultations with 40 key stakeholders.

The goal is to develop a more consistent marketing approach that will prove useful to all industry participants, regardless of their size or place within the industry.

Matthew Holmes, executive director of the Canada Organic Trade Association, said the industry needs to distinguish itself from the competition.

Seventy-five percent of organic food marketed in Canada is imported, most of which comes from the United States.

Organic food also tends to compete with products that are branded as “natural” or “local,” which he said confuses consumers.

JD 1780 corn planter altered to tackle mud Modified for Manitoba | Precision Planting’s Air Force pneumatic system adjusts downward force using two air bags

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Frank Prince did what he could in last year’s mud.

Prince, who farms near Pipestone, Man., seeded canola at 2.4 pounds per acre, achieving 99 percent germination and yielding 40 bushels per acre.

Some spots hit 60 bu.

“On this one field, we seeded canola on June 15 and then got five inches of rain, so we didn’t expect any of it to get out of the ground,” he said.

“The field was totally saturated, but in the areas where it didn’t flood, it was an amazing crop.”

Researchers have found that canola seeded with an air seeder achieves 50 to 60 percent germination in stress free conditions.

But Prince didn’t use an air seeder.

He used a modified JD 1780 corn planter on 15 inch spacings that he bought last year to convert into a machine capable of precisely seeding canola at a rate of two pounds per acre.

He knew he would have to rethink the springs that control the down force.

“Then we went down to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville last year and that’s where we discovered all this Precision Planting equipment,” he said.

“Well, they didn’t have any dealers around here, so we became a dealer and took their training schools to learn about the equipment.”

By last spring, the 1780 was equipped with a lengthy wish list of innovative technology from Precision.

Prince said the main component in making the 1780 perform is the Air Force pneumatic system of down force control.

“We did comparison trials on soybeans, sunflowers and corn with and w i t h o u t t h e A i r Fo rc e s y s t e m engaged,” said Prince.

“With the Air Force engaged, we gained two bushels on soybeans. On sunflowers, we gained 200 to 300 lb. per acre. The benefit in corn was eight to 16 bu. per acre.”

The mud-friendly modifications helped Prince start seeding three days before any of his neighbours, which generated a lot of phone calls and custom seeding work.

“It works pretty well in wet conditions if we’re in a zero till field, but when I hit a muddy spot, everything blocks up. It’s a nightmare. Planters hate mud,” he said.

“So for 2011, I’ve added the Devastator gauge wheel and the notched disc opener. This is all designed for mud. It’s supposed to run through any conditions. I guess we’ll see this spring.” access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

ABOVE: Although Precision Planting eSet discs are interchangeable with JD discs, Frank Prince says there are significant differences in performance. The top dark coloured disc is an original JD while the lower disc is eSet. LEFT: Each row unit has its own weigh pin, which gives the Air Force 20/20 system continuous down force readings, allowing the pneumatic bags to hold a constant 60 pounds pressure.

The key to seeding canola into mud with a corn planter is to throw away the original springs and install a two-way air bag system, which maintains 60 pounds down force, according to Frank Prince.

Prince said the aggressive V-prongs on the Devastator ensure that the wheel has good traction in the mud and keeps turning as it should. Built

by Beaver Bearing, the Devastator costs $110 per row unit.

Each row unit on a corn planter weighs 200 lb. The hopper weighs another 200 lb. when full of seed. The factory springs exert 80 to 400 lb. of down force.

All this weight works together to compact the soil, especially in wet conditions. To compensate, many producers fill their seed hoppers only to the halfway mark, but that means more fill stops and wasted time.

“For good placement, you don’t want more than 60 lb. down force on a planter, so the challenge really is to hold the unit up, not push it down,” Prince said.

“If you can accomplish that, you can go ahead and load full hoppers

and still get very accurate seed placement with this machine.”

The Air Force system from Precision accomplishes this task with two air bags. One pushes up nearly all the time to hold 60 lb. down force. When needed, the other air bag is available to hold down on the unit.

“The Air Force is totally automatic.

There’s an electronic sensor on each row unit, so there’s no averaging,” he said. “There’s a weigh pin located just above each gauge wheel. It gives the controller instant information as field conditions change, so pressure on each row unit always stays at 60 lb.”

Prince said he spent $15,000 to equip the 31 rows on his 38.5 foot planter with the pneumatic system.

Because he does a lot of custom seeding, he gained experience with different crops in different soil conditions last year.

“Overall, on our farm and on our

customer fields, we saw a net benefit of at least $25 per acre.”

Price breakdown is $260 per row unit plus $3,000 for the electric compressor, which handles up to 16 rows.

A hydraulic compressor handles anything beyond 16 rows and costs an extra $1,000.

Down pressure on each row unit can be displayed on the screen in real time.

Because of the mud, many produc-

ers with ground drive metering systems and ground drive ancillaries had trouble with the drive wheel skidding. A skidding drive wheel throws the whole seeding operation into turmoil and causes skips in the field.

To remedy this, Prince is converting the planter to hydraulic drive, but that leads to a problem with hydraulic capacity.

“You absolutely need a four wheel drive tractor to pull this thing. Last year, we used an 8640 on it. That gave us enough traction, but it lacks hydraulic flow now that we’re fully hydraulic. We figure we’ll need at least 35 (gallons per minute), so we’re switching up to an MT Cat this year.”

Prince said he wanted a corn planter mainly so that he could try singulating canola seed.

“There’s a big debate about canola seed spacing. A corn planter has the capability to put them an inch and a half or two inches apart every time, depending on how you adjust it.

“A planter isn’t rough on seeds. But an air seeder has meters and manifolds and high air velocity. All that grinds up the canola seed so you get low germination.

“A planter simply drops the seed by gravity and it goes to the exact

While other monitors give the operator an average of 100 or even 1,000 seeds, Frank Prince says the Precision 20/20 counts each seed that drops to the ground.

The Precision eSet discs that Prince bought for the 1780 allow him to set up for corn, soybeans, canola and sunflowers at a cost of $110 per row.

The eSet trials have shown it provides better singulation than the original JD discs, he added.

Corn is a 30 cell disc, canola is a 60 cell disc and soybeans are a 60 cell disc. However, Prince said some producers install their old Deere 108 cell disc.

Sunflowers are a 30 cell disc but the plants are too crowded on 15 inch row spacings, so Prince plugs every second hole in the disc.

He said altering the position of the plug holes from one row to the next creates a checkerboard affect over the field with uniform spacing in all directions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;O n c e y o u â&#x20AC;&#x2122;v e g o t y o u r d i s c s installed, you go into the computer to set up your plant populations.

Prince runs liquid fertilizer with tractor side-mount tanks and puts down all fertilizer at seeding time. He still uses a Micro-Trak for the liquid but expects to switch to a Precision 20/20 monitor when it becomes

available next year.

Precision Clean Sweep row cleaners are located at the leading edge.

Prince said they work fine at their normal 80 p.s.i. down pressure until it gets muddy. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trouble.

Each sweep has its own dual action pneumatic cylinder so the operator can quickly raise them before they load up. The operator can also fine tune the pressure of each individual sweep on the go from the cab. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also found that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run anything in front of them if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wet.

SOIL | SALINITY

Prepare for white stuff this spring: saline soil Recognize problem | Electrical conductivity test confirms salt presence

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM,

KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Wetter-than-normal soil over much of the Prairies may worsen soil salinity problems this year.

Many growers assume they need to see salt before there is a problem, but Western Canada’s sole public agricultural salinity hydrologist said most damage occurs without an obvious ring around the field.

Harold Steppuhn said more farmers will have salinity problems this year because of higher than average soil moisture last year and this year.

“In agriculture, salinity in soil refers to a state where dissolved minerals are concentrated beyond a point where crops’ roots can make use of them and start to cause damage to the plants,” said Steppuhn, who works at Agriculture Canada’s Semiarid Research Centre in Swift Current, Sask.

“Salinity can vary greatly in our soils, and over the space of a few metres, we can see it go from a problem to no issue at all.”

Grant McLean, cropping manage-

ment specialist at Saskatchewan Agriculture, said most farmers might not see any changes this year, but they can expect to see more salinity over the next two or three years as the soil dries out.

“The salts have always been there,” McLean said. “We’ve just been managing for them.”

Changes in water accumulation and movement in the soil can mean that an area that had no problems can suddenly develop one and a spot that had high levels of salinity can become rinsed out and fertile again.

Farmers who haven’t had to worry about salinity in the past should consider how they are going to manage it, said McLean.

“It will be worse in fields where there was nothing to use the water,” he added.

Producers refer to their saline areas as alkali, but Saskatchewan Agriculture says the term is a misnomer.

These soils are saline, which means large amounts of dissolved salts have accumulated at the surface and are visible as white patches with little or no plant growth.

They are only the tip of the salinity

iceberg. It was ice, or its movement, that originally created the problem for western Canadian farmers.

The salt arrived ahead of the glacial till that is now the basis for much of the grain-growing land in the West.

As inland seas retreated, they left a saline stain on the land.

Glaciers formed during the ice ages and deposited soil on top of the salt.

Several million acres of the 50 million arable cropped acres on the Prairies are affected by salinity that seeps and creeps up from below.

Rigas Karamanos, a researcher and fertilizer specialist with Viterra, said many producers will blame spotty crop yield issues on lack of fertility, insects and disease rather than recognizing a salinity problem.

Electrical conductivity measurements are now commonly used to confirm the presence of salt in the soil. The technology has become more affordable and services have developed in precision agriculture to meet the demand for field mapping and fertilizer prescriptions.

Alex Melnitchouck, a research agronomist with Dynagra in Beiseker, Alta., said recent research in

AC Saltlander, salt tolerant grass developed by Agriculture Canada researchers in Swift Current, Sask. It is highly palatable for cattle and sheep and establishes well in saline soils. | AAFC PHOTO southern Alberta found only a weak correlation between soluble salts in the soil and poor biomass and production in the field.

“Generally salts are associated with lower productivity, but you can’t always rely on it. It might depend on the crop and season and soil,” he said.

Steppuhn said plants that can get a good start in saline soil, just ahead of good rain or irrigation, will often be able to stay ahead of the salt. They will become established and grow well as the water level falls in the soil.

“But if it turns dry and you don’t get that rapid germination, you can find yourself with barren ground, especially with small seeded crops like alfalfa.”

Alfalfa is often used where salinity is a serious problem by breaking the salt-moisture cycle.

“Alfalfa is usually a solution that can bring the land back to productivity,” said Steppuhn.

Soil salinization occurs when the water table is close enough to the soil’s surface to allow a wicking action to carry the salty ground water to the surface dirt.

This distance might need to be two metres or closer, depending on the soil’s texture, but it might not begin at all if sufficient water arrives from irrigation, rain or runoff.

“Salinity is solar powered,” Steppuhn said.

“Evaporation at the surface draws the salts up with the water. If it can dry out the soil, you can stop the cycle and reclaim the land.”

In pothole country, many producers have rings around their sloughs but the water in the slough isn’t salty. Instead, the water in the pothole flows into the water table, where it mixes with salty water. The water then rises up along the hillside slopes and appears like a bathtub ring.

“We are going to see some more of this due to the high water tables in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The good news is that it will go away again as the levels drop,” said Steppuhn.

“Managing salinity is about managing the water that recharges the ground water.”

Rain and irrigation can rinse salts down, but it can become the conduit to return the minerals to the surface and the root zone unless there is a method of using up that water.

In s o m e c a s e s, re d u c i n g t h e recharge water might be as simple as creating drainage ditches or providing deep tillage to break through a

hardpan that is trapping water from flowing down.

“Tiling works for some regions, but it is expensive and you need to have a perennial problem, not one that lasts only a few seasons,” he said.

Crops such as canola, flax, mustard, wheat and oats can be grown in soil with an electrical conductivity rating of four to six to keep the soil moisture down and land productive with annual crops.

Barley and sunflowers are more reliable when it rises to six or eight.

In this range a move to forage crops is required for a long-term solution.

Salt tolerant alfalfa’s ability to chase moisture with its roots makes the crop the ideal solar water pump for soil moisture reduction.

Grass becomes the best choice when the electrical conductivity rating increases to eight to 16.

McLean said producers should avoid pulse crops in salt prone soil.

He said growers run the risk of the salt tolerant weed kochia moving into bare fields if pulses don’t establish and water ponds on the surface.

AC Saltlander is one of the toughest of the salt tolerant wheatgrasses bred for prairie conditions and one of the few that are highly palatable for cattle throughout the season.

It isn’t the best adapted plant to saline conditions, but it yields well in areas of the fields where salinity isn’t an issue.

“Because the conditions can vary so much in a short distance, you need crops that perform well in both,” he said.

Agriculture Canada researchers in Swift Current rate new cultivars for their value in prairie conditions.

Some producers plant tall grasses in bands across the fields. They use water and capture snow, which creates a rinsing effect and lowers the overall soil moisture.

A few American varieties of alfalfa were recently shown to be moderately better than existing cultivars, but Steppuhn said producers seeking to plant a longer-term alfalfa rotation into saline land might consider waiting.

“There are some great products in the pipeline, but at some point, you have to start to manage the problem,” he said.

“It’s an investment that can pay off handsomely when it comes to bringing acres into annual crop production. But once you know it is saline, you also know you will always be managing it for salts.”

WEEDS | SALTCEDAR

New weed tops worst list

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

An invasive weed considered much worse than leafy spurge has arrived in Saskatchewan.

Saltcedar, or tamarix, has been moving north from the southern United States for 50 years.

Weed experts have been expecting it and two cases were confirmed last summer south of Swift Current and northwest of Regina, near Findlater.

Officials say it’s likely the seeds were transported in construction equipment that moved north.

The saltcedar plants near Swift Current were probably introduced when a track hoe was used to expand a dugout. A single plant was found on top of the dirt pile at the edge of the dugout.

The work took place in 2005 and the plant was 2.4 metres tall when discovered.

Arlene Unvoas, executive director of Swift Current Creek Watershed Stewards Inc., said she had just produced a bulk mail-out for residents last summer to raise awareness about saltcedar when the man delivering the mail to rural route mailboxes noticed it on his own property.

“He called me immediately,” she said, adding it was likely the fastest return on an awareness campaign she will ever get.

The landowner is now closely watching the edges of the dugout and warning people to pay attention to their land.

“It has started to create a little bit more awareness,” Unvoas said. “I wish it would have created a bigger stir.”

At Findlater, six plants were found in a small area within a highways ministry gravel pit.

Crushing had taken place in the pit in 2008 and the largest plant was about one metre tall. The site was quarantined but gravel had already been hauled from the site.

The locations that received the gravel will be monitored for the next few years.

Saltcedar is an example of good intentions gone wrong. It was brought to the United States from Eurasia and Africa for use in windbreaks, as an ornamental and to stabilize stream banks.

By the 1930s, however, the pretty, pink-flowered shrub had invaded western river systems and spread throughout the U.S. It spreads by seed but will also grow from roots if a plant is damaged or removed.

A single mature saltcedar plant can produce 500,000 seeds in a growing season. The seeds are small and easily dispersed by wind and water. They can germinate within 24 hours of contact with water.

Saltcedar is also tough. It can be submerged in water, tolerate drought and grow in saline conditions.

The main concern with saltcedar is high water use. It can consume as much as 200 gallons per day through 30-metre-deep tap roots and a 50-metre-wide root system. This can lower water tables below the root zones of native trees and kill them.

It also excretes salt that can kill plants that aren’t saline tolerant. Salt moves up through the roots, accuaccess=subscriber section=crops,news,none

mulates in the leaves and is excreted with other minerals through leaf glands.

The leaves increase soil salinity when they fall on the ground.

As a result, saltcedar can take over entire tracts of land. In the U.S., it has replaced large cottonwood and willow stands and destroyed riparian areas. It is also difficult to restore land that has become saline because of the plant.

Saltcedar is on the list of invasive plants in many North American jurisdictions, but nurseries and retail centres continue to sell it to homeowners as Pink Cascade and Summer Glow.

Utility tractors popular Farmall and Massey brands wear well over time

mat for new, small tractors.

Case IH and Agco have brought new chore tractors to market this winter. Both companies brought their latest machine developments to Tulare, California’s World Ag Expo earlier this month.

Beginning in 1923, the Case IH Farmall began a 50 year reign as one of North America’s most popular tractor brands, including a plowing oriented Model C. In recent years, Case has brought back the Farmall name and while today’s farmer won’t likely be spending much time tilling with the new 2011 Model C, the new machines might replace some of their old namesakes for bucket use, three point hitch tools and other utility work.

The new Model C comes in 65, 75 and 85 p.t.o. horsepower models.

Scott Rasch of Case IH said the machines might carry the red paint and branding, but these are “the latest in technology.”

“They have the (Fiat Powertrain Technology) four cylinder, 3.2 litre, turbocharged engines. The bigger two are intercooled. This is rugged technology and fuel efficient,” he said.

The Farmall C offers eight forward and eight reverse gears standard with a m e c ha n i c a l s hu t t l e t o m ov e between them. A 12x12 with hydraulic shuttle is optional, as is a mechanical-drive front end.

The new Case IH splits the steering and hydraulic reservoirs, meaning that under a heavy load or full bucket the steering isn’t compromised.

It can come with a factory installed front-end loader.

The cabs can be outfitted with factory installed iPod connections and 15 degree seat swivels.

“And you can see a lot more of the machine when you have a loader or three point (hitch attachment),” said Rauch.

Agco, meanwhile, released a Massey Ferguson 5450 loader tractor designed to give the operator a wide view of the bucket and front end of the machine.

The new tractor has a left hand shuttle control, freeing up the right hand for loader work. It eliminates the blind spots often associated with loader frames and long hoods.

Rene Boivin of Massey says the operator can always see the tip of the bucket. The 5450 was designed with the bucket work in mind, for livestock operations or where a utility tractor is put to a lot of mixed uses with its loader.

The hood of the 75 h.p. tractor slopes away radically at the front, making it easy to see past its nose.

Fo r wa rd a n d re v e r s e s hu t t l e responsiveness is controlled by a dial on the console, allowing for either aggressive moves for rapid loader work or smooth transitions in tight spaces or where precision is critical.

The tractor is powered by a Perkins turbocharged engine with a 16x16, four range, power shuttle transmission with an optional creeper gear.

Meghann McNally of Massey said the tractor brand’s reliable reputation is one of the assets it brings to the marketplace as farmers look to replace their aging yard and livestock chore machines.

NEVER LOOK BACK! Step into the productivity of a new Guardian™ front boom sprayer from New Holland and you won’t turn back. With the boom in front, you have a complete unobstructed view of every nozzle. This outstanding visibility means you can run the boom closer to the ground to control drift. Spray is delivered into the crop before the first tires go over it, eliminating the potential for dust to neutralize the spray. Start achieving a new level of spraying freedom and productivity.

CAMELINA | VALUE-ADDED

Three farmers hope cooks will have them for dinner Camelina oil | The ancient grain approved for food consumption

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

Three Saskatchewan farmers are serious about connecting with their customers.

People who buy bottles of their salad oil under the Three Farmers brand can use the internet to find the exact field where the camelina was grown.

They can also meet the farmer who produced it, learning about his farming practices and agricultural philosophy.

Colin Rosengren, Ron Emde and Dan Vandenhurk of Midale, Sask., say they are the first in Canada to market camelina as an edible culinary oil.

They have also received novel food status from the Canadian Food inspection Agency.

The partners say developing a direct link with customers is an important part of their business.

“We like to see a lot of what we grow be connected to the end user, so this was a way to connect directly with our consumers,” said Rosengren, the brainchild behind camelina oil and the Three Farmers brand.

For example, typing in a code found on a bottle of Three Farmers camelina oil produces a web page that reads: Your Farmer: Colin.

Your Batch: In mid-September 2010, we pressed Lot 7 of our camelina oil. This oil would be our first to be bottled under our Three Farmers brand. It was cold-pressed in Tisdale, Sask., at a kosher certified facility and then transported to Saskatoon for bottling.

The information is displayed beside a Google map that identifies the exact quarter section of land where the camelina crop for this particular bottle of oil was grown.

Low commodity prices in 2004-05 led Rosengren to search for ways to process his own crops locally, adding value and meeting increasing consumer demand for local and traceable food sources.

Camelina, an ancient oilseed traced back 3,000 years to Europe, has most recently been grown in the United States and Canada for biofuel. However, it had never been approved for food consumption in Canada.

Rosengren planted the crop in 2008 and sold it into the biofuel market.

The following year he pressed the crop to produce an edible oil.

By this time, he was joined by Emde, Vandenhurk and business investor Ken Greer of Saskatoon.

Rosengren hand-picked his partners carefully, choosing Emde because his experience as a trucking company owner and farmer offered strengths in human resources, accounting and customer service.

Vandenhurk had a background in construction and farmed 10,000 acres, which Rosengren knew would come in handy when it came time to build an oil crushing plant.

Greer, owner of Western Ag Innovations, would be the business, marketing and funding expert.

The farmers planted 500 acres of camelina in 2009 and were ready the following year to start crushing the oil and getting it to market.

“We went through different roller coasters,” said Rosengren. “We learned the hard way not to get excited

until the money is in the bank.”

For example, lots of interest was expressed in selling the product to large markets such as India, but all of these business deals eventually fell through.

The partners found that running their large grain farms didn’t leave enough time to launch a new venture.

In 2009, they hired Vandenhurk’s daughter, Natasha, to launch Three Farmers in a way that would meet their goal of getting a homegrown product into the hands of people who cared about where their food came from.

“I remember my dad speaking about it, but I really didn’t pay attention because my dad always has a million things going on,” said Natasha, an economics graduate from the University of Saskatchewan.

“We really didn’t know what market we wanted to go to when we started, as this oil can be used as a health food or for culinary purposes, but it’s great for skin care too.”

The group settled on bottling camelina oil and selling it as cooking, baking and dressing oil, largely because camelina is a high source of omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturates and has a smoke point of 475.

Natasha said they were confident camelina oil would be an easy sell once people tasted the earthy, wholesome flavour.

The major hurdle was securing CFIA approval, which the group was told could take years and cost up to $500 million dollars.

Fortunately, the farmers were able to secure approval in less than a year and at a fraction of the cost they were expecting.

Ron Emde, left, and Colin Rosengrenf are finding unique ways to market their camelina. | CHRISTALEE FROESE PHOTO “There’s been a lot of red tape,” said Emde. “Sometimes it just seems like it would be easier to haul the crop to town and sell it, but I think in the long run it will be worth it.”

Rosengren is convinced the longterm benefits of adding value to their crops at home and putting fully traceable products into the hands of health-conscious consumers will pay off.

They have sold more than 1,000 bottles and work with retailers in Saskatoon, Regina and Estevan, Sask.

Short-term plans include building a processing plant in the Midale area this spring, producing camelina hummus and pesto for retail shelves

this summer and reaching out to larger markets in Eastern Canada.

Vandenhurk’s daughter Elysia, a Red Seal chef, creates new camelina-oil based products such as hummus, pesto and lentil dip and has developed camelina recipes such as oat nut bars, beef marinade and pizza.

“I think the biggest strength we have is that it’s Saskatchewan made,” said Natasha. “It’s grown here, it’s processed here, it’s packaged here, it’s branded here. Everything about it screams Saskatchewan and we’re letting consumers know how the food is grown by having real-life farmers telling their story.”

Swimming pool made into home for vegetables Manure digester makes fuel, fertilizer

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

GUELPH, Ont. — The idea of transforming their in-ground swimming pool into cold storage started out as a joke for market gardener Tarrah Young and her husband, Nathan Carey.

The pool came with the small farm they had bought. They filled it the first year, only to find they didn’t have enough time to go swimming.

That’s when the joke became serious.

“The root cellar has now been functioning for two winters and we are incredibly pleased with the results,” Young told the Guelph Organic Con-

ference earlier this year.

The conversion cost $12,000, and Young said it would have been cheaper, in terms of capital costs, to have bought a used insulated trailer equipped with refrigeration.

However, that would have taken power.

“With this we can store our root vegetables in near optimum conditions with virtually no additional energy.”

There were hurdles.

Pool experts told them it wouldn’t work because the sides would cave in without water.

However, Chris Vanderhout of Evolve Builders discovered that the pool, with its nine-inch concrete

walls, had probably been overbuilt by the farm’s previous owner, a pool contractor.

As a result, Young and Carey were able to make the pool work with the help of added structural stability from the roof design.

The 15 by 30 foot storage facility has an earthen “green” roof with plenty of insulation value. A slope was dug to the entrance and a drainage system leads to a nearby pond.

There’s a back-up system for cooling, but Young said it’s seldom needed.

She stores vegetables in the space for her winter community shared agriculture business. There’s also enough room for a wash station. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — An expanded manure digesting system that can produce electricity and ethanol biofuel and produce organic nutrient-rich fertilizers is operating in Alberta.

Highland Renewables Research has expanded the plant near Hairy Hills, Alta.

Mike Kotelco started the company with his brother 10 years ago as t h e f a m i l y ’s f e e d l o t b u s i n e s s expanded.

The brothers wanted to find a way to keep the manure’s nutrients, process an organic fertilizer and produce energy to sell. They built the manure digesting plant on their farm using government grants, personal money and private investments.

The pilot plant started in 2003 and can digest 100 tonnes of manure a day, about 20 percent of the Kotelcos’ feedlot, and produces enough energy each day to power 800 to 1,000 homes.

Manure goes into an anaerobic digester to produce methane, which will be marketed to refiners in Edmonton. Electricity is produced and the resulting heat goes to the ethanol plant. Distillers grain in wet form goes back to the feedlot. About 20 per cent of the manure is reclaimed.

The expanded plant will consume about 80 percent of the manure from the family feedlot.

“The goal at end of the day is to run virtually all feedlot manure through the process.”

He said at least 10,000 beef cattle in a feedlot would be needed to justify a plant. A smaller plant could be designed for a dairy farm.

He said fewer cattle would be needed to make it work if energy prices continue to increase.

A five megawatt plant would cost about $16 million.

“They are not cheap.”

He doubts the plant could make a return on investment just by selling electricity. One would also have to look at the added potential value of the biofuel, heat and other uses for the energy produced. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

COURT RULING | PIPELINE VERSUS FARMER

Farmer beams over court ruling against pipeline Pipeline failed to reclaim land | The Supreme Court sides with farmer after arbitration and judicial reviews fail

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

An Alberta farmer who fought a pipeline company for 15 years over a $10,000 manure bill is thrilled the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled in his favour.

“I feel 100 years younger,” said Vernon Smith, 82, of Mayerthorpe.

In a unanimous decision, the court ruled that Alliance Pipeline Ltd. must pay what Smith spent to reclaim his land and thousands of dollars in court costs associated with fighting the

battle for the past 15 years.

Meaghan Conroy, a lawyer representing Smith, said the ruling would have implications for landowners across the Prairies, especially if they take their fight against energy companies to court.

She said energy companies’ threats to take farmers to court and their ability to drag cases through an expensive appeal process have a “chilling effect on farmers.”

Conroy said taking a $10,000 manure bill to the Supreme Court was a “bit of a stretch,” but the court agreed

to hear the case last November because of the increasing number of pipelines and confusion about the rules regarding pipelines and landowners.

“We needed clarity on this,” she said.

Landowners don’t have a choice if a pipeline crosses their land, Conroy added, but they can negotiate the conditions and compensation.

In 1996, Alliance Pipeline laid a 36-inch high-pressure gas pipeline through one quarter section of Smith’s farmland.

The original agreement required

Alliance to apply a layer of well-rotted manure or loam on the field where the pipeline crossed the land.

Alliance didn’t reclaim the land and the following year Smith presented it with a $9,828 bill for manure and reclamation work. Alliance rejected the bill and offered to pay $2,500.

Smith then used a federal arbitration process for what was supposed to be a quick and cost-effective resolution to the dispute.

Instead, the fight went through two arbitration committee hearings, one Court of Queen’s Bench action, one

judicial review, one appellate review proceeding and tens of thousands of dollars.

Smith won the first appeal and lost the second, at which point he said he considered abandoning the fight because it was becoming too costly.

He said the money he was using for the appeals was what the farming family had set aside for retirement.

Instead, the family and their lawyer took a chance and asked the Supreme Court to hear their case.

“Be damned if we didn’t win it,” said Smith. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Farmers mixed on CWB opt-out Right to choose | Wheat growers support bill

BY ADRIAN EWINS

Can I find a seed company created by growers for growers?

At CANTERRA SEEDS we understand that growers are the real seed experts, actively assessing and growing a wide variety of seed products year after year. That’s why, from the very beginning, we have been a grower-based company created to provide the seed products you demand. And with over 160 seed grower shareholders across the Prairies, there’s sure to be a local CANTERRA SEEDS’ expert near you.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prairie farm groups are lining up for and against a private member’s bill that would enable farmers to opt out of the Canadian Wheat Board’s marketing system.

The bill, C-619, was introduced into the House of Commons by Ontario MP Bruce Stanton.

It would require a farmer wishing to opt out of the single desk system to do so for a minimum of two years. They would also have to declare their intention in the first three months of the year.

National Farmers Union regional co-ordinator Glenn Tait criticized the bill, saying wheat board operations and programs must be decided by farmers through the farmer-elected CWB board of directors.

Last fall’s election was a clear win for single-desk supporters, winning four of five seats, and the government should step away from the board and let it do its job, said Tait.

“This bill is just another attempt by the Harper Conservatives to step on the will of western Canadian farmers,” he added.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association said it strongly supports C-619.

Association president Kevin Bender said many farmers are looking for ways to market their grain outside the CWB monopoly.

“This bill would give those farmers the ability to market their grain on their own, while preserving the CWB for those who wish to use it,” he said.

“It allows each farmer to choose what is right for his or her farm.”

The association said it will try to round up support for the bill from opposition MPs. The bill will also free farmers from having to participate in CWB spending projects, such the recent purchase of two ships for $65 million.

Bill-619 has been scheduled for one hour of debate in April. access=subscriber section=news,markets,none

WESTERN BARLEY GROWERS | CONVENTION

Barley growers express dismay at wheat boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ship purchases

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A room full of white sailor hats met Ian White as he walked into last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Barley Growers Association convention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the point in terms of the hats,â&#x20AC;? the Canadian Wheat Board president said.

The lighthearted protest demonstrated how many of the members felt about the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to

spend $65 million on two ships to move grain on the Great Lakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The laker issue is one of those that highlights some of the differences in the industry,â&#x20AC;? White said at the meeting, held Feb. 17-18 in Calgary.

He said the ship purchase is a good business deal because it will ultimately save money.

However, he also understood the concerns about using farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money from the pool accounts and the access=subscriber section=news,none,none

secrecy that surrounded the deal as it was being negotiated. The board spends $75 million a year to hire grain ships on the Great Lakes, but those costs will now drop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the returns start to kick in, that bill will be reduced by at least $10 million a year.â&#x20AC;?

Barley growers passed a resolution that said farmers should have had a say in their level of involvement in financing the ships, including the

amount of financing and possibly opting out completely.

Market analyst John DePape of Winnipeg is running an online survey asking farmers for their views on the decision. About 600 had responded as of last week and 92 percent were opposed.

Those who provided comments said it was because the money was coming from the pool accounts.

White said the board plans its own

surveys in the next few months, but farmers who want more information or have a complaint should speak to their elected representatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The elected directors of the wheat board are the people they should be talking to about that,â&#x20AC;? said White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The directors of the wheat board were compelled by a good looking business case, but they are also concerned about taking money out of the pool,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Technotill system brings new life to old cultivator With less than 1,000 acres of annual crops to seed, Clayton Schultz didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to break the bank when it came to upgrading to a one-pass seeding system.

By outfitting an older John Deere 1610 deep tiller with the Technotill seeding system and an air system, he managed to get a simple and effective seeding system for his northeast Saskatchewan farm that was approximately $85,000 cheaper than the next option.

Schultz, who operates a mixed grain and beef operation at Lintlaw, SK, spent about $15,500 to modify and outfit the cultivator for air seeding.

That was a considerably better than another option to buy a used drill and upgrade tractor horsepower for a cost of about $100,000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a simple and inexpensive system, that has brought new life to this John Deere cultivator,â&#x20AC;? says Shultz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is still a good piece of equipment.

I have been very impressed with how the Technotill system places both seed and fertilizer in one pass.â&#x20AC;?

Along with a cow/calf operation, Schultz crops about 600 acres of oats, barley, canola and flax.

He had been using an older Morris hoe press drill on 7 â&#x20AC;˘ inch spacing to seed crop in a two pass system. The first pass was made with a Blanchard mini air seeder with eight inch sweeps to apply fertilizer in the spring followed by seeding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a minimum till seeding system, with two passes, with two different machines, and we wanted to change to a one-pass direct seeding system, to save time and improve fuel efficiency,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And in doing it, we also wanted to keep costs down.â&#x20AC;?

As part of the modification, he dropped shanks off a 27-foot cultivator tool to make it 24 feet, and removed the harrows, reducing the draft required and demands on his 150 horsepower Case 1370 tractor.

One other important modification Schultz made involved adding an auxiliary power source to operate the air system. Typically a hydraulic motor would be used to power the fan on the air system, but since the Case tractor didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have hydraulics, Schultz mounted a 25 horsepower Kohler gas engine on the seed/fertilizer tank.

Schultz has only used the seeding system for the 2009 crop. It was just too wet during the 2010 to get crop in the ground with any kind of equipment. He plans to use the John Deere tool bar with Technotill in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had never used this type of system before, but I was really impressed with how well it worked,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It did a great job of placing seed and fertilizer. I was a little

concerned about seeding crops on 12 inch row spacing, but even that worked fine. It looked like there was a lot of ground between the seed rows, but the crops stooled out and the canopy closed in, and made a very good stand.â&#x20AC;? He also found the wider seed rows worked well even when cutting the crop with an older pull type swather.

Schultz ran the openers at 1 ½ to 2 inches deep for seeding all crops and sidebanded about 120 pounds of a fertilizer blend to the side and above the seed row in the one-pass operation.

He likes the fact the fertilizer is placed near the seed row, rather than in a wider band, that may be spread out between rows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this zero till system you fertilize the seeds not the weeds,â&#x20AC;? he says. He also ran the opener tip a bit deeper because he was concerned if it was too shallow some fertilizer might be kicked out onto the soil surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to be sure the seed and fertilizer were well covered,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though the little furrow in the seed row was about two inches deep, there is still only about Âź to 3/8 inch of soil packed on top of the seed. With good seed to soil contact we had very good emergence.

He says the new system even proved handy a couple times when the seeding equipment ran out of seed and fertilizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very easy to go back and brush away a bit of loose dirt in the furrow and find exactly where you had quit seeding and start again,â&#x20AC;? he says.

With good seed and fertilizer placement, Schultz was pleased with crop performance as barley yielded about 60 bushels per acre, flax 40, oats 80 and canola about 25 bushels, which is about average in his area for an open pollinated variety.

He pulled the seeding system at about 3.5 miles per hour. Fuel consumption was about onethird less in 2009 compared to previous seeding operations in 2008, and he says he only put half the hours on the tractor by eliminating one field operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technotill made it possible for me to develop an inexpensive seeding system,â&#x20AC;? says Schultz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the other thing that impressed me about it was just how simple the system is. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of extra parts and fancy attachments. It is a simple system that gets the fertilizer placed, and seed planted and packed. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153; For more information on the Technotill Seeding System, phone 780-352-9890 or visit the company website at: www.technotill.com

RESEARCH | WATERSHED MANAGEMENT

Manitoba watershed may attract research

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A creek in southern Manitoba may soon be a hub of watershed research in Canada.

The Tobacco Creek Model Watershed (TCMW) is one of eight finalists to become a research node for the Canadian Water Network, a national initiative with the goal of connecting research to hands-on watershed management.

If the watershed is selected as one of the five Canadian Water Network research nodes, $750,000 in funding could be available to study it over the next few years. The watershed is located west of Miami, Man.

TCMW chair Les McEwan said the watershed is positioned to become a â&#x20AC;&#x153;living watershed laboratory.â&#x20AC;?

It will be a place to understand and combat the real life practices that are affecting the quality of water in Manitoba creeks and rivers and Lake Winnipeg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very excited to have this unique and timely opportunity to advance the TCMW; we look forward to hearing from the community, and from all others with an interest in agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in making long-term solutions happen,â&#x20AC;? said McEwan, who farms near Altamont, Man. The Deerwood Soil and Water Ma na g e m e nt A s s o c i at i o n ha s

worked with scientists for more than two decades to study the Tobacco Creek watershed.

Scientists have experimented with residue management, zero tillage, shelterbelt establishment and rotational grazing and measured how those practices affect nutrient runoff, water quality and water quantity.

The association also built small dams on creeks in the watershed to slow spring runoff and hold back sediment and nutrients.

Research and practices in the watershed will be featured in the March 17 episode of The Nature of Things, which examines the deterioration of water quality in Lake Winnipeg. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

BEEF | CONSUMER DEMAND

Busy lifestyles one factor in beef demand decline Chicken seen as more convenient | Lower consumer income and health concerns play role

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

DENVER, Colo. — The cattle industry can trace many of its woes to declining beef demand, says a Purdue University researcher.

Beef demand is half what it was in 1980, and consumers continue to turn away from it despite some recovery in 2004, James Mintert told the recent International Livestock Congress held in Denver.

Researchers used 1980 as a base year, setting the demand index at 100.

“The beef demand index captures the impact of quantity and changes in price after that price has been adjusted for inflation,” said Mintert.

A change in the domestic market occurred around 1980, resulting in a steady decline in demand at the retail level.

Demand was at its worst in 1998 when the index value was 50. An uptick occurred in 2004 and demand increased to 63.

“It is hard to make money in an industry when demand is declining that fast,” Mintert said.

Demand began declining again three years ago, and the index value reached 54 last year.

Mintert blamed food safety, competing meat, falling consumer income and health concerns.

Consumers pay attention to major food recalls and tend to avoid certain products for about six months afterward.

There was a spike in beef recalls in 2007 and demand fell three percent.

Mintert’s research found that demand drops by .2 percent over the next two quarters for every 10 percent increase in food recalls.

“It doesn’t look like food recalls have a big impact on beef demand,

It is hard to make money in an industry when demand is declining that fast.

JAMES MINTERT RESEARCHER

but what you have to realize is when those recalls jump, it does have a big impact,” he said.

The medical connection between eating red meat and a higher risk of heart disease also hurts beef demand.

Medical journals and news articles connected heart disease with red meat consumption between the early 1980s and 2002.

“Consumers’ concerns over this issue gave us about a nine percent decline in beef demand,” he said.

“That information is still out there and being communicated and it is having a negative impact.”

Mintert said the beef industry needs to promote beef as a good source of zinc, iron and protein because health professionals and consumers respond to positive nutritional information.

A 10 percent increase in articles about positive dietary properties was correlated to a .25 percent increase in beef demand and accounted for a seven percent im-provement in demand since the 1980s.

Convenience is hard to measure, but research showed that a drop in demand is connected to the percentage of women working outside the home since the early 1980s in Canada and the United States.

Women had less time to prepare meals and sought more convenience. They often selected chicken access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

BEEF RECALLS IN 2007 SENT DEMAND DOWN

3 percent because of the wide range of easy to prepare products and because it is deemed a healthier protein.

Families also ate more meals away from home, even though it is more expensive than cooking from scratch.

Fifty-four percent of Canadian women had outside employment in 2007, with Alberta having the highest percentage at 65 percent and New-

foundland having the lowest at 48 percent.

Aging baby boomers will also affect future demand. Forty-four million Americans are on social security and in 20 years 77 million will be pensioners. This trend is also occurring in Canada, Europe and Japan.

North Americans may be turning away from beef, but Paul Clayton of the U.S. Meat Export Federation sees positive demand signals from foreign customers.

Russia, India and China are the markets of the future and will buy higher value goods, including more beef , as their gross domestic product improves.

“We can imagine over the next 30 years both of those things will start moving up and those are the countries where we have economic opportunity,” Clayton said.

He predicted that Australia and Nor th and S outh Amer ica w ill emerge as the world’s major beef suppliers.

Clayton said U.S. beef exports should return to 2003 levels of 1.2 million tonnes per year by 2013 as more market access is gained and 1.4 million tonnes by 2015.

Individuals in those markets are not likely to consume more on a per pound basis, but a larger global population will eat more overall.

BUFFALO | DISEASE

Montana governor’s ban halts buffalo slaughter SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) — Montana’s governor has barred Yellowstone National Park buffalo exposed to a livestock disease from entering his state, effectively granting a temporary reprieve for the 217 buffalo targeted for slaughter.

The order by governor Brian Schweitzer cited worries about brucello-

sis, a bacterial infection that can cause cows to miscarry. It temporarily delayed government plans to ship the buffalo to Montana slaughterhouses.

Schweitzer’s move is the latest twist in a weeks-long saga over buffalo that had moved from the deep snows of Yellowstone Park in search of food in nearby Montana lowlands.

Government wranglers have corralled 525 of the stray bison, 217 of which have tested positive for exposure to brucellosis.

Conservationists launched a court case to stop the slaughter but a federal judge denied that request. Opponents of the bison cull welcomed the governor’s decision. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

ANIMAL HEALTH STARTS ON THE FARM

When properly handled, pigs feel safe and calm and are more relaxed in their pens. | FILE PHOTO

As partners in biosecurity, farm visitors are an important part of keeping Canada’s animals healthy. Animal diseases are easily transferred by people, equipment, and vehicles— making biosecurity a team effort between agricultural producers and service personnel.

New approach needed in moving hogs

Here are some helpful suggestions to share with farm visitors:

HOGS | MANAGEMENT

Pigs bunch up for safety | Animals must feel safe to move forward out of the group

BY ED WHITE

SHARE YOUR BIOSECURITY PLAN. Stress how important it is to understand, respect and enforce these risk-reducing practices.

ASK VISITORS TO PLAN AHEAD. Explain that contacting producers before arriving ensures visits are appropriately scheduled.

PROMOTE AWARENESS. Explain the importance of avoiding contact with animals, housing areas, and feed and water, when possible.

Ask them to work from clean areas towards dirty ones.

ASK VISITORS TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO BIOSECURITY. Before visiting, they should ask themselves: • Is this visit necessary?

• Where do I park and sign in?

• Do I have everything I need to perform my service?

• Do I know how to enter production zones?

• Am I following effective cleaning measures for equipment and personal wear?

Biosecurity is the best investment we can make to help keep Canada’s animals healthy.

Doing what seems natural doesn’t work for moving pigs.

That’s because what’s natural for humans doesn’t seem natural to pigs being moved by humans.

“We mess them up,” said Nancy Lidster of DNL Farms of White Fox, Sask.

“We increase intensity rather than backing off.”

Lidster said pig handlers are often vexed and frustrated by ill behaving pigs that don’t seem to want to move.

In the past, the prod was used as a tool but today blocking boards and noise are often used to encourage pigs to go the direction the handler wants.

When a handler finds the pigs bunching up or stopping midway, he will often try to make the pigs feel uncomfortable near him so that they will go the other way.

But that reveals a fundamental flaw of human thinking about pigs. Pressure on the group won’t make individuals in the herd want to run the other way.

Instead, the pigs will want to get into the middle of their herd, even if beside the handler. “ They’re looking for safety …

Safety is back there with the bunch,” said Lidster. “Their safety is by not moving.”

Lidster said handlers need to lower the pressure when moving pigs so that the dynamic pigs in the herd can

voluntarily lead the others in the direction the handler wants. If the leaders go in a certain direction, the others will follow. It’s the role of the handler to follow but not to push because that will backfire.

“Anytime we see them scrambling, we can back off,” said Lidster.

When pigs feel pressure, they not only bunch, but also begin circling to stay away from the handler, stop so that they can hear better and twist so they can see what the handler is doing.

All of these things stop the pigs moving forward.

Lidster shows a pair of handlers moving weanlings along an aisle, and any time the piglet slowed, the humans would yell and shake bottles of coins to encourage them to move the other way.

“The very thing these folks are doing to try to make these little guys run away is exactly what it’s taking to make them bunch up,” said Lidster.

She said it’s important to understand that taking pressure off a herd animal makes it more likely to go in the desired direction.

“Getting them to flow, to move easily, they have to be calm. They have to feel safe.”

CATTLE | ANTIBIOTICS

Antimicrobial resistance in feedlot cattle a growing problem ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

Resistant genes in one bacteria species can be transmitted to another

T

he last few years have seen increasing amounts of media attention on the emergence of so-called superbugs.

Bacteria that exhibit resistance to antibiotic medications have been documented since the early days of their use in the 1940s.

Recently, several bacterial species have emerged that contain resistance to multiple drugs, making infections difficult to treat.

Another cause for concern is the lack of novel antibiotic drugs in the clinical trial stage of development.

As a result, we have to make due with the drugs we have.

The livestock industry has received plenty of negative attention on this topic, often being blamed for the emergence of these resistant bacteria due to mass treatment of food animals.

Bovine respiratory disease is frequent in fall feeder cattle, which is why metaphylaxis treatment, or the treating of all incoming cattle w ith antibiotics, is a common practice.

A new study published in the Canadian Veter inar y Journal explores this topic in feedlot cattle and attempts to address the question: does antibiotic use in feedlot cattle lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria?

Researchers allocated 288 auctionmart derived steers to one of three treatment groups: no antibiotics, oxytetracycline added in the feed for 14 days or injectable oxytetracycline on arrival.

Fecal samples were obtained upon arrival, several times during the feeding period and 24 hours before slaughter.

E. coli bacteria was chosen as a representative bacteria because it is easily isolated from feces of cattle and it is a significant contaminant of carcasses at slaughter.

E. coli may also transmit resistance genes to other species of diseasecausing bacteria. The isolated bacteria were tested for resistance to common antibiotics, including oxytetracycline.

Low levels of resistant bacteria were detected in the newly weaned steers, indicating the baseline levels of resistance on farms and auction marts is low.

The group that received oxytetracycline in the feed had a significantly increased proportion of access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

steers with antibiotic-resistant bacteria while the group that received injectable oxytetracyline had a slight increase.

All groups had an increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria late in the feeding period, but this was not attributed to individual animal treatments.

Overall, more animals had E. coli that was resistant to oxytetracycline just before slaughter than they did when they arrived.

Feed antibiotics seem to be related to the greatest increase of antibioticresistant bacteria in the feces of feedlot cattle.

Injectable antibiotics also have an impact but to a lesser extent.

This study highlights the importance of wise use of antibiotics in food animals.

It’s often necessary to treat highrisk animals, but the risk of increasing resistant bacteria should be weighed.

Bacteria are notorious for their infidelity. Resistance genes in one species can easily be transmitted to another species.

For example, oxytetracyline resistance in fecal E. coli could easily be transmitted to other fecal bacteria such as campylobacter or salmonella.

Bacteria should be considered a global population that promiscuously swaps genes, including resis-

tance ones, at a frequent and rapid rate.

Are feedlots to blame for the emergence of superbugs? Not necessarily.

However, any use of antibiotics that increases the prevalence of antibiotic resistant genes in bacteria is likely to be a contributing factor.

This includes antibiotic treatments used by veterinarians, food animal producers and doctors.

Many bacterial pathogens are shared between people and animals.

It is important to remember that we are all in this together.

CATTLE | GENOMICS

Genomics analyzes traits, improves breeding selection Able to pinpoint diseases | Genetics can also measure traits like feed efficiency

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

DENVER, Colo. — Purebred cattle breeders know all about the benefits of expected progeny differences and pedigree information, says Kent Andersen of Pfizer Animal Genetics.

Now they need to be convinced about the value of genomics.

“Genomics is a natural evolution that we can leverage the knowledge we have w ith the bovine genome or the genome of other livestock species and get a read at the gene level of performance so we can jump start selection accuracy of animals earlier in life,” he said last month at the International Livestock Congress in Denver.

Genomic information tells breeders if an animal has a greater opportunity to inherit certain characteristics, while pedigrees allow for comparisons of animals across environments and can help manage inbreeding.

Genetic testing can correctly identify parents and often pinpoint genetic diseases among individuals.

“Carrier animals are often indistinguishable from animals that are free of the condition,” he said.

There was a time when major problems such as dwarfism could not be well predicted, which meant every animal that was related to a carrier animal was devalued or eliminated.

“In that process of eliminating those, we often got rid of a lot of genetics that were possessed by animals that could have been quite valuable,” Anderson said.

Breed associations now work with genetic companies to test animals to determine whether they are disease free or carriers.

The next step is to find quality attributes such as marbling, growth and longevity.

Genetic companies use statistical analysis to develop a molecular breeding value for animals resulting in genomic enhanced expected progeny differences (EPDs) that can be included on a pedigree in an easy to read format.

They are also developing breed specific profiles for dairy and some beef breeds, such as Angus and Limousin.

These profiles are more useful than all-breed profiles that look at general traits such as polled, said Jim Gibb of Merial-Igenity.

For example, the Australian Brahman association released genomic enhanced EPDs for tenderness two years ago.

Breeds still need to collect traditional EPDs, but genomics can provide a greater degree of accuracy for animals without offspring or information on traits that are hard to measure, such as feed efficiency, said Gibb.

Average seed stock operations tend to be small and have trouble collecting large amounts of data to develop genetic comparisons within a herd.

However, genomics information can now be collected quickly from individual animals and numeric scores assigned to the likelihood of that animal having a certain trait.

These are known as accuracy values.

“Accuracy is an indicator of how access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

reliable that EPD is and how much it might change with more information,” Gibb said.

Genomic EPDs will have their greatest impact on young bulls, replacement heifers and potential donor dams.

“It really doesn’t pay to test an old, proven bull because the accuracy value isn’t going to change. The impact will be on the young animals so you can make faster generation turnover and genetic progress,” he said.

Genetic information can distinguish individuals because full siblings are not the same, even though

they are often marketed as being equal.

Producers can make better decisions in breeding selection and at the commercial level when they have more information about their animals. “ Theoretically you could use genomics in your genetic selection in the place of growth promotants,” said Andersen.

The products may be needed only to improve growth in certain animals, while those that already have the ability to grow well and produce high quality, well marbled carcasses may not receive any treatments.

Genetic information can determine the likelihood of an animal having offspring with specific traits, such as marbling and longevity. | FILE PHOTO

ANIMAL CARE | FEED TOXICITY

Sheep, cervids get traceability money Test feed for sulfur

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Alber ta government has announced two new traceability programs to cover the cost of tagging lambs and cervids.

The sheep industry will receive $900,000 over two years, while payment programs for cervids, which include elk and deer, total $90,000 over three years.

About 1,900 sheep farms and 344 cervid operations are involved.

Funding for both programs will come from the province’s $15 million age verification incentive program.

Sheep producers are switching from pink curl lock tags to radio frequency ear tags.

The electronic tags cost $1.80 to $3.

Producers can apply for refunds once the lambs are tagged.

The program does not cover readers or software packages used in the sheep traceability programs.

“We would like to get money for equipment,” said Alberta Lamb Producers chair Phil Kolodychuk.

“We are happy Alberta Agriculture is investing in our industry,” he said.

The Alberta lamb traceability pilot program has tested equipment and software packages for three years and recommended one system: FarmWorks by Shearwell Data.

A national pilot project is also underway testing software packages to identify and trace sheep.

Alberta has the third largest flock

behind Ontario and Quebec with 100,000 ewes. Elk producers have registered their animals with Alberta Agriculture for the last 15 years using a double plastic tag system with unique numbers recording history from birth to death, said Alberta Elk Commission chair Glenda Elkow.

Antlers are also identified at the time of harvest.

The grant helps producers with the cost of tagging, which costs $7 for a set of tags.

The elk industry is not using electronic radio frequency tags.

The national cervid industry is also working with the federal government on an ISO numbering system that is likely to correlate with the program in Alberta. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

to prevent toxicity

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SASKATOON — Cattle producers should test their livestock’s feed and water for sulfur to prevent polio, says a Western College of Veterinary Medicine researcher.

Dr. Steve Hendrick of the University of Saskatchewan’s Sustainable Beef Systems Research Group said polio, or more formally polioencephalomalacia, is rare but usually occurs in outbreaks. A change in feed, such as moving cattle into a feedlot, can precipitate the disease. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Tomorrow’s calves. Today.

Polio also affects other ruminants.

Symptoms include progressive blindness, staggering and seizures.

Causes are feed-induced, including thiamine deficiency, water deprivation and the resulting salt toxicity, lead poisoning and sulfur toxicity.

Hendrick said the maximum tolerable level of sulfur in rations is .4 percent of dry matter per day.

Cattle that eat sulfates produce sulfide ions and hydrogen sulfide gas in their rumens. Some of the gas is absorbed by the rumen but can cause brain damage if burped up and breathed back into the lungs.

Hendrick said an American feedlot study found animals were consuming more than their daily limit just from their water.

Feed that is high in sulfates, such as canola meal or hailed-out canola used as silage, can cause problems.

“On the cow-calf side, if you’re feeding kochia or thistle, or things like that are in your hay field that you’re taking off, those are also high in sulfur,” he said.

A high grain diet is also thought to increase the risk.

Hendrick said producers should also watch distillers grain, a newer player in the feed sector.

Ethanol plants commonly use sulfuric acid to control bacterial overgrowth during the distillation process, which adds sulfur to the distillers grain.

However, he said more work needs to be done because a research project yielded unexpected results.

The project compared wheat DDG, corn DDG, a blend of the two and a control ration of barley in backgrounding and finishing diets for 240 steers at the U of S feedlot.

The DDG comprised 17 percent of the backgrounding diet and 30 percent of the finishing feed.

Blood serum sulfate levels in the cattle were checked beforehand to obtain a base number.

Sulfate levels in the feeds were also determined: wheat was highest, followed by corn, the blend and the barley.

However, researchers were surprised to find that cattle on the backgrounding diet had higher serum sulfate levels than those on the finishing diet, even though they were consuming lower amounts of the ration.

“We just did not expect to see this, where we had higher serum sulfate levels during the backgrounding period,” said Hendrick.

The trend was the same for all treatments.

The animals eating the wheat and the corn DDG had higher levels than those eating the blend and the control.

None of the animals showed clinical disease.

Hendrick said researchers now have to look at the contradictory evidence.

In the meantime, he encouraged producers to ask feed and water laboratories for sulfate tests.

It is difficult to remove sulfate from water, he added.

“Probably our best solution that we really have is either to find another water source or find a means of dilution,” he said.

An oilseed researcher says the new company he has established could increase flax production across the Prairies.

Martin Reaney, president of Prairie Tide Chemicals Inc., also said it could add value to prairie flax and increase the crop’s use in wide variety of consumer goods.

Reaney, a University of Saskatchewan scientist, said recent research has found a unique and valuable component in flax oil.

The components, called peptides, are small circular strings of amino acids whose unique structure makes them strong and chemically stable.

Reaney said they are abundant in flax and can be isolated from flax oil using specialized machinery recently installed at the U of S. “There are lots of components in flax oil and we’ve found something … that is very valuable,” Reaney said.

“This is a building material. A raw material that has all sorts of applications.

“These peptides are amazing structures. We’ve got quite an amazing molecule that can be used in … drugs, catalysts, flat panel displays, solar cells and any other number of things.”

Reaney said pharmaceuticals are one of the most promising applications for peptides, including specialized drugs that have the potential to fight cancer.

The global pharmaceutical industry is valued at nearly $1 trillion annually and is growing by five to seven percent per year.

Prairie Tide Chemicals has registered patents related to the isolation, modification and use of peptides derived from raw flax oil.

It has applied for proprietary control over processes that can isolate 1.6 kilograms of concentrated peptides from a tonne of raw flax.

After isolation and purification, the concentrated peptides exist as a highly valuable coloured powder.

“That may not seem like a lot but if you look at the cost of peptides and the volume of the Canadian crop, we could probably get about 600,000

A new company could increase flax production on the Canadian Prairies. | kilograms of this material from the Canadian flax crop,” Reaney said.

Some manufacturing companies are paying as much as $10,000 per kilogram for artificially produced molecules that have similar properties, he added.

“You can make peptides and certainly you can buy them by the milligram … but scaling these things up (for commercial production) is fairly expensive,” Reaney said.

“Stringing together amino acids is a very expensive thing to do.”

Peptides’ unique circular structure is what makes them so valuable.

In most cases, naturally occurring strings of amino acids exist in a chain-like structure, with two distinct ends. That structure makes them weak and unstable.

Reaney said peptides’ circular structure gives them properties similar to a cup. Matter contained inside the cup can be isolated from the surrounding environment.

With some modification, different

peptides derived from flax can be tailored for use in specialized manufacturing applications.

Reaney and other researchers have identified at least 11 types of peptides and have isolated all but one using processes patented by Prairie Tide.

Mapping the flax genome has also allowed researchers to identify a link between the production of flax peptides and two specific genes in the flax plant.

“We know that there’s at least two specific genes for peptides and we think there’s a lot more,” said Reaney.

Researchers around the world are studying the medicinal properties of consuming peptides in raw flax oil.

Animal studies show that consuming raw flax results in the absorption of peptides into the tissues of some types of livestock.

Reaney said removing peptides from raw flax oil will not diminish the value of flax oil used for industrial purposes.

used to isolate and modify peptides.

Ideally, the concentrated peptides will eventually be made available to other companies that value their unique qualities and highly stable molecular structure.

Reaney said Prairie Tide Chemicals is like a process incubator, moving valuable research discoveries to a stage where they can be commercialized, adapted and used by the private sector.

He said commercialization plays a big role in ensuring that private sector industry can make use of public research.

It is also critical to developing new high-value markets for crops that are grown in Canada and sold as lowvalue commodities.

“Often, it isn’t the vegetable oil that’s the interesting part, it’s the little bits of other things that are in the vegetable oil,” he said.

“The vegetable oil is the commodity. It’s the other things where the value is (located).”

VALUES | FARMLAND

Improving economy and normal interest rates could depress farmland values WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank is watching the market closely for signs of a speculative bubble in surging farmland values in the Plains.

Fed president Tom Hoenig said a return of normal interest rates could

depress land values “by as much as one-third.” Rising interest rates often coincide with a fall in farm revenue, he added.

U.S. Plains farmland rose in value by nearly 20 percent from year-earlier levels.

The Kansas City Fed said in some cases rental rates were not keeping pace with land values, raising doubts if land prices are sustainable.

“History has taught us that it is nearly impossible to determine how much of the farmland boom may be

an unsustainable bubble driven by financial markets and how much results from fundamental changes in demand and supply conditions,” Hoenig said.

“Therefore, it will surprise no one when I say we are watching the mar-

ket closely, just as we are watching for imbalances emerging elsewhere in the economy.”

U.S. farmland values posted double digit increases in the past year with additional gains expected this year, said two Kansas City Fed economists.

allocation would be to fill up the implement before and after each work activity and record the use and cost. This would provide for an accurate allocation to the enterprises, but would it be worth the effort?

Transfers from one enterprise to another are the most difficult to track.

A farmer might feed home-grown barley to his cattle, but his year-end records would show only the sales of barley where cash was received.

There would be no provision for the value of the fed barley.

Therefore, the barley enterprise may not appear to contribute as

much to overall profit as is actually the case.

As well, the feeder operation may appear to be contributing well to the overall profit in the business, but the lack of fed barley as a feed expense does not give a true picture of the feeder operation’s contribution.

The calculation of each enterprise’s contribution to profit will only be as accurate as the information used to analyze it.

Deere & Co. earned $514 million in the first quarter NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters) — Farm equipment maker Deere & Co. reported a much higher-than-expected profit in the first quarter and raised its full-year forecast, sending its shares to a record high of more than $97 US. Rising crop prices are boosting farmers’ incomes, allowing them to buy expensive machinery.

“Strong commodity prices are driving planted acres to some of the highest levels since 2003,” Deere investor relations executive Susan Karlix said on a conference call.

“Good profitability creates an incentive for farmers to plant on every available acre.”

Machinery sales rose at a much

faster pace in the United States and Canada than in other regions. Deere raised prices two percent.

It said there was good demand for high-horsepower machines, which offer higher margins, and forecast U.S. and Canadian sales would rise about five percent this year.

But production issues related to emissions standards could dampen sales in the near term.

Deere earned $514 million, or $1.20 a share, in the first quarter that ended Jan. 31, up from $243.2 million, or 57 cents per share a year ago.

The company forecast a full-year profit of $2.5 billion up from the November forecast of $2.1 billion. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,equipment,none

M

ost farmers have multiple enterprises within their farm.

However, although they work each day within those enterprises, they may not have given a lot of thought to enterprise analysis.

Enterprise analysis is a form of financial analysis that looks at a business in terms of each individual entity or enterprise within the farm business so that producers can determine where best to allocate their time and money.

The enterprise breakdown can be general, such as a mixed farm with its operations separated into grain and livestock enterprises, or more detailed, such as a grain farm with each crop as an enterprise.

The business can be separated into as few or as many enterprises as the farmer wishes. The analysis can be applied to past or projected performance.

Producers can use enterprise analysis for various purposes.

Time and capital on a farm are constraining resources and producers need to decide where to best allocate them.

Different enterprises will report differing contributions to profit. The analysis will help determine if farmers should allocate more time and capital to the enterprises that contribute the greatest profit to the overall business or to improving the contribution of a poorly performing enterprise.

Make sure recordkeeping entries are recorded properly.

For example, it doesn’t matter from a total revenue perspective if canola sales are mistakenly entered as wheat sales.

However, it does matter if you are analyzing the contribution of each enterprise and trying to decide where to invest time and capital.

Enterprise analysis provides the best information when accrual accounting is applied.

Revenue is generally easier to allocate than costs because product sales such as wheat, flax and livestock are usually identified separately.

There are different types of costs, generally reported as variable or fixed. Allocating the costs fairly to each enterprise can be difficult.

For example, it is easy to allocate seed costs but not so easy to allocate fuel costs. In situations where accurately allocating an expense such as fuel is difficult, do your best to estimate. Once you have a good basis for estimation, you can apply the same procedure every year to get a consistent trend line analysis.

AG NOTES KAP WELCOMES WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN The federal and Manitoba governments have contributed $860,000 to the Rural Municipality of Bifrost’s excess water management model initiative.

The funding will help develop a water management plan for the RM and local areas to help control moisture and flood conditions over multiple years.

Keystone Agricultural Producers said the model is a step forward in addressing excess moisture and flood conditions on farmland.

KAP said the management plan is important, but funding must also be committed to drainage and maintenance infrastructure.

ALBERTA OYF FINALISTS The spotlight is on four farming couples who have been selected to compete for the title Alberta’s Outstanding Young Farmer:

• Clinton and Marsha Aarsby of Didsbury, mixed grain and cowcalf operation; • Bradley and Cheryl McDermid of Bowden, Torbay Farms, cow-calf, backgrounding operation, cereals, oilseeds and forage crops; • Matt and Tara Sawyer of Acme, Sawyer Farms Ltd., grains, oilseeds and commercial cowcalf; • Dean and Farrah Williams of Arrowwood, W3 Farms Ltd., mixed grains, oilseeds and cattle.

One couple will be selected to represent Alberta at the national awards program in Brandon Nov. 14-20.

The nominees were selected according to the progress made in their agricultural career, environmental and safety practices, crop and livestock production history, financial and management practices and contributions to the well-being of the community, province and nation.

HEALTH | WEIGHT

Bigger is not better Rural residents a major contributor to Canada’s growing weight problem | Technology has reduced physical activity but diets continue to be high in fat

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canada’s farm families are growing more than beef, barley, pork and pulse crops. They’re also growing larger waistlines, says a Calgary doctor who studies obesity.

David Lau, an endocinologist and president of Obesity Canada, said Canada’s farm families do less physical labour than they did a generation ago and rely more on mechanization.

The results are higher obesity rates and more overweight farmers, a scenario that challenges the image of physically fit farm families living a healthy, rural lifestyle.

“Rural Canadians are bigger than urban Canadians,” said Lau. “They inherited the same patterns of eating (as) their parents and ancestors but now they’re riding in tractors and riding in combines,” said Lau. “In essence, what we’ve done is engineered the activity out of our daily lifestyles.”

Lau said numerous studies have shown that the proportion of overweight or obese adults in rural areas is higher than it is in cities.

Rural residents, particularly adults,

depend heavily on machinery to do their work and they routinely use cars, trucks and ATVs to get around, even if the distance to be travelled is just a few hundred metres.

Rural eating habits are also different.

“Rural (people) tend to eat more protein and protein tends to come from animal sources, which means they have more fat and more cholesterol and more calories,” Lau said.

Unlike adults, there is no data to suggest that weight problems are more common in rural children than they are in urban children, he said.

But obesity rates in all Canadian children are dangerously high.

Bruce Reeder, a doctor at the University of Saskatchewan who specializes in cardiovascular problems and nutritional intervention programs, has studied rural-urban differences in obesity.

In a six-year study completed in the 1990s, Reeder concluded that the mean body mass index of rural men and women (26.1 and 25.3 respectively) was not significantly different than that of urban men and women (25.7 and 24.8 respectively).

Similarly, obesity was as prevalent in rural men (37 percent) and women

(30 percent) as it was in urban men (34 percent) and urban women (28 percent).

Reeder’s study, which involved more than 27,000 Canadians in nine provinces, found a significant difference in Western Canada.

In the West, 41 percent of rural men were obese, compared with 34 percent of urban men.

Obesity rates among rural women were also higher at 41 percent, compared to 34 percent in urban areas.

Among western Canadian men, the difference in obesity was most evident in the 25- to 64-year-old age group.

A fuller understanding of the underlying behavioural determinants of these differences is needed, the study concluded.

“We are living in a whole different generation now,” said Lau. “Food is abundant. We tend to overeat and we have no idea what the proper serving size is.”

Lau said the solution to Canada’s growing weight problem lies in public policy and personal lifestyle changes.

“In rural and urban areas, we have to be more mindful of our eating habits and we have to get fit.” access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

Alberta inquiry recommends ATV age restrictions Judge calls for better training | Inquiry also recommended drivers should ride age appropriate machines and not have passengers

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The Alberta government should make it illegal for small children to ride large quads, concludes a report released Feb. 11.

Provincial court judge B.R. Hougestol said there should be age restrictions based on all-terrain vehicle size to help reduce accidents and death.

The inquiry examined the case of Kirkland Gour, 12, who died in 2007 while quadding on a stubble field near Nampa, Alta.

Gour was quadding with his cousin on the back when the 650 pound, 660

cc Yamaha Grizzly ATV rolled and the front rack of the quad pinned Gour’s neck.

Hougestol said no consensus exists on mandatory age limits or licensing but consensus does exist that age and machine size-appropriate operation be followed.

A change of Alberta law would be required to adopt an age-machinery size schedule, he wrote.

Hougestol recommended that passengers be prohibited on ATVs except where the vehicle is so designed and that existing training regimes be encouraged and expanded.

“The pervasive use of ATVs and

their ever-increasing power would point to the need for a more central and co-ordinating role for government and education officials,” he wrote.

Such training should be on the same level of availability and efficacy as driver training for automobiles and hunter training.

Gour was not wearing a helmet but there was no likelihood that would have saved his life, said the report.

The 82 lb. boy, who loved the outdoors, quadding and motocross racing, was regarded by his family as an “experienced and careful operator.”

“Kirkland had no formal training in

quad operation but had years of experience as did his family generally. His family clearly was of the view that Kirkland would not have benefited from other training,” wrote Hougestol.

During the fatality inquiry, Kathy Belton, director of the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research, said ATVs should be restricted to people 16 years and older and children should never ride as passengers.

She said the judge’s recommendations are a step in the right direction but doesn’t hold out much hope they will be implemented.

“It really comes down to politics,”

said Belton.

Don Peters of the Alberta Off Highway Vehicle Association opposed a blanket ban or mandatory licensing but encouraged age-appropriate vehicle sizing.

Six to 11 year olds should be limited to 70 cc vehicles and children aged 12 and older to 90 cc, he said.

His group strongly advocated training programs.

Daniel Chokal, a mechanical engineer with the department of justice, said the 660 Grizzly is designed to be operated by a 160 lb. individual and that passengers can cause some control problems. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

PSYCHOLOGY | CUTTING

Physical pain from cutting distracts from childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychological pain SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

I found cuts on my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm. At first, she tried to tell me that the cat had scratched her but later she admitted that she had taken a knife and cut herself. I was floored, as was my husband. Our daughter has always been a good kid, has done well in school and been involved in sports and community activities.

We have taken our daughter to see a counsellor at the mental health clinic and that has been helpful but we would like more information. Do you know anything about kids cutting themselves?

A:

You and your family have found yourselves caught in an unspoken epidemic threading its way through our communities. It appears to be getting worse each year.

Cutting iinvolves deliberately mutilating the body and inflicting pain.

Young people who are suicidal do

not want to live but those who cut are different. Cutters have every intention of living, they just seem to need physical pain to help them deal with the problems they find in their daily activities.

Kids do it discreetly and often their parents do not know. Parents hide their children when they discover it so getting statistics about cutting is difficult.

Researchers studied cutting behaviour in a high school with 440 students. They found that close to 15 percent of the students had engaged in either cutting or some other form of self-mutilation.

Sixty percent of those who harmed themselves were in Grades 8 and 9, 64 percent were girls and 36 percent were boys.

I suspect that these statistics are common to most schools. The logic of cutting is simple. Kids who cut themselves find that the physical pain that they get from cutting distracts them from the psychological pain they pick up living in a world filled with excess stress.

Cutting distracts kids from the pain of competing for grade point averages in success orientated schools and distracts them from the confusion of living in homes and families where parents are unsure of their rights and responsibilities and not providing

sufficient guidance.

Cutting distracts kids from the pain of being caught in custody battles where estranged parents are fighting for control of the children and is a preferable option to the pain of loneliness that haunts a classroom in which children are socially ostracized.

The problem with cutting is that it is addictive. Once a child starts, she is likely to continue, even if she is occasionally caught by her parents. Kids who cut should be referred for counselling.

The counsellors need help also.

Your community can best help the counsellors by taking cutting out of the closet and dealing with it openly and honestly.

Your community can best help the counsellors by encouraging your schools to stress learning through more than grade point averages, by putting the spirit of fairness in competition and by helping parents build stronger relationships with their children.

Remember, it takes a community to raise a child and ensure that our kids have opportunities for healthy and productive lifestyles.

Agricultural topics researched | Scholarship winners travel to other countries and examine issues

BY ADRIAN EWINS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farm succession, diversification and value chains are among study topics for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nuffield agricultural scholarship winners.

Each year, Nuffield Canada awards three scholarships of $15,000 to Canadians aged 25 to 40 with a passion for agriculture.

The recipients are expected to travel for at least eight weeks and complete studies within two years.

Leona Dargis of St. Vincent, Alta., and Kelvin Meadows of Moose Jaw, Sask., are this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prairie winners, along with Raymond Loo of Springfield, P.E.I. Dargis plans to travel to New Zealand and Australia in March, and continue her research into succession planning and diversification on the family farm.

She grew up on a family farm with four sisters, growing grain and raising cattle.

In 2007, her parents were killed in a small plane crash in northern Alberta, leaving the sisters to deal with the succession-related issues as well as run the farm and continue with their schooling. Sharing the workload around the farm and house was nothing new for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was expected to contribute from an early age,â&#x20AC;? said Dargis.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hear people in the community saying we worked too hard.â&#x20AC;?

Dargis graduated from Olds Community College, where she was introduced to a wide range of opportunities, both in Canada and abroad.

She joined the Canadian Young Farmers for three years, then became a member of the Royal Agricultural Societies of the Commonwealth, which sponsored her trips to New Zealand and Scotland last summer. It was on those trips where she learned about the Nuffield award.

After completing Nuffield studies, she intends to do a series of public speaking engagements on her travels, succession planning and her family story.

Meadows has been running a seed cleaning and export business as well as growing pedigreed seed for 20 years.

During that time, he has served as a director and chair of the Saskatchewan Canola Development commission. He is also chair of Avena Foods Inc., a gluten-free oat milling plant in Regina.

He plans to use the Nuffield scholarship to study factors that contribute to a successful farmer-owned value chain and a sustainable farm workforce.

LOOKING BACK | GOLD FEVER

Life on northern Prairies fraught with hardships

BY EWALD GOSSNER FREELANCE WRITER

G

old fever struck when most people didn’t have a nickel in their pockets.

In the early 1920s, brothers Ernie, Jo h n a n d Ad o l p h St u d e r w e re afflicted.

After emigrating from Switzerland to Axtell, Kansas, in 1909, they migrated to Saskatchewan’s northern frontiers in 1915 with their mother and stepfather, Mary and John Wenger.

In 1919, the three brothers filed on homesteads in the Old Loon Lake district, now known as the Studer district.

It consisted of lakes and land teeming with fish, fur-bearing animals and rumours of gold. The latter beckoned the trio to venture even further north. In 1922, there was a placer gold flurry on the Waterhen River, north of Goodsoil, Sask.

Life in this uncharted territory brought with it hardships and a frugal lifestyle where rabbits and even a skunk warded off the threat of starvation.

During that first winter, near starvation prompted John to make a trip south for supplies while Adolph remained behind. Strapping on their only pair of snowshoes, John set out on a long journey. When crossing the snow-covered Beaver River, he broke through a thin layer of ice, saturating his winter clothes.

A rancher later noticed him wandering in a delirious state with frozen feet and hands. He brought him to his shack where John recovered after a night of sleep and food.

At Turtleford, Sask., the site of the nearest doctor, John received a grim diagnosis. His right leg might have to be amputated. He left the hospital with pills to quell the pain and purchased supplies for his brother.

Prior to the Studers arriving at Waterhen, Lloyd Stonehocker of Greig Lake prospected throughout

the region in 1921-22. In 1923, he met the Studers, who had discovered gold, precipitating a rush of about 40 prospectors panning for their fortunes. The Studers staked claims here and built a water wheel.

Tisdale and Tucker from Chicago staked more than 50 claims with plans to put in a dredge. The expense, the great distance to the nearest railway and only a minimal quantity of gold discouraged further serious prospecting.

This sudden furor subsided as suddenly as it had begun. The Studer brothers returned to their homesteads and farming, supplemented by commercial fishing. Compared to their prospecting proceeds, fishing provided a sustainable income.

Though this low-risk enterprise proved successful, the prospecting itch persisted.

The three brothers worked as a team until early 1930s, when Adolph became more independent.

Although farming with Ernie, John was tempted to join the occasional Studer prospecting venture.

By 1932, Adolph’s prospecting had lured him into the Lac la Ronge region.

From there, he struck out to Sulphide Lake where hard rock prospecting proved more arduous than the panning method.

These northern frontiers offered little choice in eking out a livelihood during the Depression. Gold hovered around $36.50 per troy ounce. To supplement his scanty prospecting income, trapping in winter became a sideline for Adolph.

In the autumn of 1936, he brought his wife and four children to La Ronge. Living quarters were limited, prompting them to occasionally accept the hospitality of the local jail.

They erected a crude one-room shelter at Contact Lake that year. It served as kitchen, dining room and bedrooms for the six family members.

In spring of 1937, they felled logs for

Vernon Studer, left, Len McArthur, Adolph Studer and Bert Lien at the Studer cabin on the shore of Sulphide Lake. | SASKATCHEWAN ARCHIVES BOARD PHOTO the construction of a permanent residence on the shore of Sulphide Lake.

Self-sufficiency became an important factor for survival in these remote regions and the prospector’s main diet consisted of local wildlife.

A short but vigourous growing season allowed the Studers to carve a garden out of the wooded wilderness. A patch of strawberries yielded a bumper crop.

A small herd of goats also provided milk for the family.

Up to this point, prospecting resulted in a sparse return, but persistence paid off when the Studers struck a vein of ore containing high grade gold in the Sulphide Lake area in 1937.

By late 1939, Adolph built a sluice for panning and washing gold.

In 1938, his son, Vernon, started prospecting with his father. The pair

built a water wheel in Sulphide Lake in 1940. They expanded their mining enterprise by adding a Gibson mill, powered by water from a nearby dam, and a gasoline engine powered the crusher.

The blasted ore had to be transported by dog team and sled during winter months to the crushing site.

Considering the time involved, the effort resulted in a meagre income.

Adolph moved his family to Prince Albert in 1948. From there, he was still able to access the mineral-rich Pre-Cambrian Shield and later became involved with Inco.

He formed Studer Gold Mines Ltd., with shareholders from Saskatchewan in 1949 and served as president.

With a slump in the price of gold, the new company acquired base metal properties that did not pan out as a commercial enterprise.

Prospecting was not the Studers’ only northern endeavour. John’s daughter, Joan, earned her bush pilot’s licence but died when her Cessna crashed in December 1976.

As a testament to the family’s prospecting ventures in the province, their name remains prominent in the north in the Studer district, Studer Lake on the Churchill River and Ernie Studer School at Loon Lake, Sask.

Hobbies help reduce stress, provide social interaction TEAM RESOURCES

H

aving interests or hobbies that take our minds off of work or personal issues can help provide diversions and relaxation and reduce stress. The planning and goal setting in a hobby or sport can also stimulate the mind while physical activity exercises the body.

Crafts, woodworking and musical hobbies help to develop new skills, talents and creativity.

Collecting may provide opportunities for travel and meeting new people. Working on something that you

are passionate about can also bring family members together to share the interest.

If all the kids have left home or retirement is approaching, this is a perfect time to develop a hobby or pursue a long held hope to pursue a particular interest such as writing or dancing.

The first weekend in February, the Rosetown Museum held its annual hobby show for local artisans and hobbyists. I discovered a variety of collections, including old toys, carnival glass, Hot Wheel cars, teddy bears and skidoos.

Some displayed their photography, painting, needlework, sewing, stain glass and woodworking projects.

Retired couple Darlene and Albert Dubois have developed a passion for their hobbies.

Darlene’s son gave her a gift certificate for a stained glass making class that introduced her to the craft. She then encouraged Albert to take a class in intarsia, a woodworking

Albert has now expanded his interests to include making intricate designs in wood using a scroll saw.

Albert Dubois of Rosetown enjoys creating wood projects cut with a scroll saw like this flower basket.

His first hobby was intarsia, which uses different woods to create pictures, such as the owl.

Shirley Helgason developed her interest in collecting teddy bears after she received a bear as a get-well gift. She looks for bears that have a personality or particular outfit, such as a pink raincoat.

Glen Sitter has spent hours building detailed wood models of Spanish galleons and modern equipment. He enjoys the creative challenge of carving and cutting models from wood blocks.

WINTER WARM UP FOODS During the cold days of winter, I like to try a variety of soups and warm breads. They are filling and nutritious, whether served for lunch or an easy supper meal. With the addition of cheese and milk, this soup is also a good way to increase you calcium intake.

BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR CHEESE SOUP 1 1/2 c. low sodium 375 mL chicken broth 2 medium onions, diced 4 cloves garlic, minced 6 c. broccoli, chopped 1.5 L (about 2 average-sized bunches) 1 14 oz. fat free 385 mL evaporated milk 1 c. shredded aged 250 mL cheddar cheese 1/2 tsp. freshly ground 2 mL black pepper 1/2 tsp.

ON THE FARM | MIXED OPERATION

Burning candle at both ends keeps farm viable Off-farm work helps farm get established | Brothers focus on grain, beef

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

MACOUN, Sask. — When Tony and Denise Vandenhurk began farming in the 1980s with three quarters of land, an off-farm income was the only way to make ends meet.

“Farming was not good then but we just loved the lifestyle,” said Tony. “One of my brothers always said, ‘it’s a very poor living but it’s a good life.’”

Living the good life was the primary goal in 1980 when Tony bought the family farm from his father, Henry, who had emigrated from Holland in the 1950s.

While Henry had managed to raise a family of 10 on the mixed farm in southeastern Saskatchewan, he also had to find work in the construction trade to subsidize the farm income.

“My mom used to say, ‘your dad goes and makes a dollar and I save a dollar at home,’” said Tony, referring to the days when she baked 48 loaves of bread at a time and canned enough garden produce to keep the family fed through the winter.

Tony followed in his dad’s footsteps in operating their mixed farm and finding ways to support the operation through outside ventures.

With his brother, Dan, and wife, Louise, farming in partnership with Tony and Denise (Louise and Denise are siblings), the sister-brother couples knew from the beginning that supporting both families on their farm incomes wouldn’t be an option.

“We were continually stuffing the money we raised doing other things into more land and cattle.”

Dan and Tony were both entrepreneurial, finding oil field and construction work through contracts and their own companies. Tony said the off-farm work was necessary but it sometimes presented difficulties in their efforts to expand the farm.

“We were kind of known as the construction guys, so if land came up for rent or sale, we’d often miss out because we weren’t given the first opportunity.”

Operating sideline businesses also presented challenges at home, with Tony working 17 days straight with his crane business and not seeing his three children.

“One of the biggest challenges is that I was always gone but Denise would bring me back to centre and balance things out by making sure we did little trips to the lake and things like that.”

Denise said the couples pulled together.

“The biggest thing that worked for us is that we were a team. If the kids needed to be somewhere or if food needed to be in the field, we worked together to co-ordinate it all.”

In 1998, the Vandenhurk brothers decided to quit their outside ventures and commit to full-time farming. Their land base grew to 15,000 acres with Tony focusing on the grain side and Dan and his sons managing up to 1,200 head of beef cattle.

With the Vandenhurks reaching their goal of establishing a profitable farm that could support both families, the brothers started preparing their operations for the next generation. In 2008, they divided the joint farm venture, with Dan taking 10,000 acres and the cattle operation to help set up his two sons in farming. Tony kept 5,000 acres.

“There’s only one thing that kept me in farming all of those years and that was passion,” said Tony. “I always wanted to stay in it long enough to see profits like we had in the ’70s again and now that it’s here, my spirits are up.”

With a highly mechanized operation in place, two seasonal hired men and good grain prices, the fun is back in farming for the Vandenhurks.

My hired men are retired farmers and I always say to them, the minute this isn’t fun anymore for everybody, we stop doing it.

TONY VANDENHURK SASK. FARMER

“My hired men are retired farmers and I always say to them, the minute this isn’t fun anymore for everybody, we stop doing it.”

As for Denise, the growth of her children has meant a change in focus to entrepreneurial ventures of her own.

In 2005, she partnered with two of her sisters to buy the Dairy Queen in Estevan, Sask., successfully operating one of the busiest franchises in Saskatchewan. Challenges finding employees led her to form her own human resources recruitment agency, which brings in foreign workers from the Philippines.

Tony and Denise consider it a privilege to have an integrated local and international staff and have bought a seven-bedroom house in Estevan as living quarters for their workers.

“They’re my family,” said Denise.

The connection to the Philippines was strengthened after the Vandenhurks visited there last year and decided to help fund the construction of a school. The couple will return in March to visit the schoolchildren.

“You bless someone and they’ll bless you,” said Tony.

“I have a heart for these little guys,” said Denise, holding a photo of 30 Philippine students standing in front of the brand new school.

“You’ve got to help whoever is in your path. It’s about good stewardship and paying it forward.”

SELF DIAGNOSIS | SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Illness, symptoms may not always allow prompt diagnosis HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Do your own due diligence when something doesn’t feel right

Q:

A friend has recently been diagnosed with an advanced stage of ovarian cancer. She said she had known for a while that some-

thing was “just not quite right” with her body. She had vague pains that would come and go in her stomach and lungs. At first, the doctor said there was nothing to worry about and could not find anything on a physical examination or blood tests. She kept going back until she was referred to a specialist who diagnosed the cancer, which had spread to her lungs.

I wanted to tell your readers to listen when your body is trying to tell you something.

A:

You know your own body better than anyone else, so if you think there is something unusual or not quite right with it, then you should demand an answer.

Breast lumps are a good example. If

a lump is found, it should be biopsied or removed and checked for cancerous cells.

Even a small cyst should be taken care of one way or another. Needle biopsies and ultrasounds can check suspicious lumps without the need to remove the whole area.

Ovarian cancer is notoriously difficult to spot in the early stages because the symptoms are vague and there may not be obvious lumps or bumps on examination.

A friend of mine said she had no energy and stopped taking part in many normal activities. This happens to all of us as we age but she was always a lively person. She died six weeks later of liver cancer.

Changes in personality should not

be ignored either. This is easier for an outsider to notice. Early Alzheimer’s disease can make a person appear paranoid, rather than simply forgetful.

Paranoia may also be associated with undiagnosed hearing problems due to mishearing and misinterpreting what is being said by others.

Other physical illnesses that can have an effect on mood are diabetes and hormonal disorders such as Cushing’s syndrome.

Medications can sometimes cause bad tempers and possibly violent behaviour. Codeine containing painkillers such as Tylenol 3 is famous for this if taken in more than the recommended dosage. Anabolic steroids can do the same thing. Prednisone, a

steroid used for treatment of autoimmune disorders and also to prevent organ rejection in some transplant recipients, may cause delusions when given in higher doses for too long.

There is no set of tests that can definitively rule everything out. Some illnesses are hard to diagnose, especially at the beginning. Others are so rare that the specific tests that would allow the diagnosis are not considered. At other times, the illnesses present atypically. The patient’s symptoms seem different from those in the medical textbooks, eluding a prompt diagnosis by the doctor.

HUMAN RIGHTS | RULINGS AND APPEALS

Human rights a contentious issue requiring common sense THE LAW

RICK DANYLIUK, QC

Q:

I have been reading articles about religious items, such as Sikh daggers and Muslim women’s headgear. Does a refusal to let them have these items violate their human rights? What about other people’s rights to safety?

A:

This is a hot button issue. It’s hard to get into a discussion on this topic without someone’s feelings being bruised.

The answer is complex. Likely, there are some fundamental rights that are difficult to argue with. A Sikh

man wearing his turban would seldom interfere with his other duties or create problems in a particular workplace. Still, there may be safety and other matters.

However, some human rights rulings go out of their way to violate the principles of common sense. We all know a child with a severe nut allergy so most schools ask that no one bring nuts into the school to protect the child. Most people comply without complaint.

In Ontario, food issues in the workplace recently took a decidedly nasty turn when they became the subject of an Ontario Human Rights Tribunal decision and a court decision after that.

A woman was fired from her job as an intake worker. She worked for a company that received public funds for programs delivered to various ethnic and religious communities.

Two things were in issue. First, her employer said she wore a cap, which

was against company policy. The employee said the hat was a modern designed hijab, which satisfied her religious and traditional requirements. The human rights adjudicator said the employer had violated the employee’s rights by trying to dictate what type of headgear she could wear on the job.

The second complaint related to food and the use of a microwave by an employee, who brought food to work and warmed it in the staff room microwave and caused odours that provoked others’ food allergies. The company created a policy surrounding use of the oven, which stated “due to food allergies and odour from some food, please refrain from or strictly limit the use of the microwave for foods that present same.”

The policy referred to both seafood and peanut allergies, both of which can be serious. The human rights panel adjudicator found that at law, this had an adverse effect on this

employee and was discrimination.

The policy came out in 2001 and was amended in 2005, yet the adjudicator found it to be a moving target.

As a remedy, the human rights board ordered the employer to pay its employee $15,000 to cover lost dignity and hurt feelings for these violations, as well as more than $21,000 in lost salary.

Not wanting to take a $36,000 hit, the company appealed and went to court seeking judicial review of the adjudicator’s decision.

The company won. The Ontario judge offered a review that was highly critical of the findings of the human rights adjudicator, which seemed to be based on little or no evidence.

Regarding the food policy, the judge said that the adjudicator’s reasons “do not disclose a rational basis for the conclusion that there was discrimination. In that sense, the reasons cannot be said to be reasonable.”

There was no evidence or a clear finding on what ethnic group the policy offended. There was no clear finding that this woman was even fired because of this policy.

With respect to the headgear issue, the court also differed from the adjudicator. The adjudicator had overlooked the fact when the employee’s dress code had come up previously, it was because her clothes were too tight and short, “the very opposite of modest and religiously conforming attire.”

In short, the court found there was no actual evidence that this person had not been fired due to discrimination and was essentially using that as an excuse to get back at the employer who had fired her for other reasons.

I agree that human rights must be guarded and not abused but that principle runs in both directions.
