Amendments to Alberta Land Stewardship Act on the way The wording sparked fear among landowners

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Alberta government is on a mission to sell its controversial landuse law.

It has proposed 11 amendments to the Alberta Land Stewardship Act (ALSA), which has been criticized for ignoring property rights, while MLAs travel the province to explain what it can and cannot do.

“When ALSA passed through the legislature, I am going to suggest that we missed some of the interpretation that was in there, never recognized that. When we took it out on the street, people would not understand what ALSA was doing,” said sustainable resource development minister Mel Knight.

He plans to introduce the amendments during the spring sitting of the legislature. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | POOL RETURN OUTLOOK

Reflection of markets | Farmers get wheat board forecast to make seeding decisions

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

There continues to be wild volatility in the market, but new crop and old crop wheat prices are remarkably similar in the Canadian Wheat Board’s first Pool Return Outlook for 2011-12.

Most wheat grades and classes are slightly higher for 2011-12, but durum

and malting barley are much higher, satisfying farmer hopes to see the good world prices they have heard are in the market.

No. 1 Canada Western red spring wheat 13.5 percent protein is forecast at $9.58 per bushel at port in 2011-12, little changed from the latest 2010-11 PRO of $9.61.

No. 1 CWRS 11.5 percent protein is $8.74 per bu., up from the 2010-11

BULK UP NOW. EARN UP TO

PRO of $8.44.

This assumes a return to a normal grade pattern after weather downgraded last season’s crop.

Durum prices are much higher, however: $10.18 per bu. for No. 1 Canada Western Amber Durum 13 percent protein for 2011-12 compared to 2010-11 prices of $8.46.

Malting barley prices are also much

higher for 2011-12 compared to 2010-11, with an increase of $1.83 to $7.34 per bu. for two-row and $6.97 for six-row.

CWB market analyst Neil Townsend said volatile grain markets mean the final pool prices will likely be different from the first PRO prices. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

INSIDE THIS WEEK

CWB | FROM PAGE ONE

CWB analyst confident However, farmers need to be given some sign of how prices will fare.

The crop has not yet been planted and will be marketed well into 2012.

“It’s a long time, but you’ve got to put a number out there,” Townsend told reporters after unveiling the new PRO at the GrainWorld Conference in Winnipeg on Feb. 28.

“I feel good with the PRO. It’s a strong reflection of where the futures markets are, a strong reflection of where we think the basis might go, and it’s got all the available information in it.”

Greg Donahue of Biggar, Sask., said in an interview during the conference that the wild variations in market prices since 2006 have left him and many farmers unsure of what price range to expect.

“It’s difficult to make a projection,” said Donahue.

“You try to pick commodities that look good. It’s tricky with the ups and downs. It’s hard to manage the cash flow. It’s a long time from now until you get to sell the crop.”

Townsend said much of the wheat market outlook relies on northern hemisphere production this summer, as well as outside factors.

But the middle scenario he pre-

sented, between an outright bullish scenario and an outright bearish scenario, was “somewhat bullish,” with prices rising with world wheat production sitting below consumption and stocks becoming tighter.

He also said wild cards such as political unrest in the Middle East and world oil prices can have a major impact on all commodity prices, including grain.

Corn is the biggest bullish underpinning of the grain market, Townsend said. It has low stocks that aren’t expected to grow, even with a good U.S. crop this summer.

The battle for acres that is expected to increase corn production this spring will probably lead to corn prices peaking in the spring seeding period.

Townsend also discussed the similarities of 2011-12 to 2006-07 and 2007-08. If the situation is similar to 2007-08, the wheat market will probably peak within the next four weeks.

However, if it’s more like 2006-07, then the market is just building a base and the peaks could be much higher and months in the future.

Farm incomes expected to tumble OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadian farm incomes are set to tumble back to earth in 2011 after a year that Agriculture Canada says saw a record level of net farm cash returns.

In a farm income forecast published Feb. 28, the department projected that realized net income will fall 38 percent nationally this year, 69 percent in Manitoba and 66 percent in Saskatchewan.

In British Columbia, this will be the third consecutive year of negative realized net income.

Alberta is expected to fare the best among western provinces with a sharp increase in realized net farm income, but only because last year’s results were a dismal $64 million.

The department makes three assumptions when projecting lower farm: • d e b t-s e r v i c i n g c h a r g e s w i l l increase as interest rates rise; • input cost increases will outstrip income increases; • spring seeding conditions on the Prairies may reduce the acreage planted.

Cameron Short, executive director for policy analysis at Agriculture

Canada, told reporters that this year’s results look weaker only when compared to last year’s strong financial results.

“E xpected increases in input prices, uncertainty on growing conditions in the Prairies and rising interest rates temper an otherwise positive forecast for 2011,” he said.

“Income is still higher than the previous five-year average.”

He was comparing net cash income, which does not include depreciation.

Realized net income this year, including depreciation, is projected to fall more than 10 percent below 2005-09 averages.

The departmental report also projects that program payments this year will fall 20 percent to $2.4 billion, although that does not make assumptions about AgriRecovery payments because they are triggered by unexpected natural disasters. The 2005-09 average program payment was $4.2 billion.

Short said last year’s financial returns were strong because of the late-year boom in commodity prices, lower fertilizer, pesticide, feed and seed prices and record low interest rates. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SOLITUDE ON ICE

SPECIAL REPORT | CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

Amendments to land act The admendments will change controversial wording that led to a perceived loss of private property rights and loss of compensation if land is set aside for conservation.

“This government in no way is going to pass legislation that diminishes their opportunity for personal property rights,” Knight said.

The act enables the provincial land use framework, a concept introduced about five years ago, to divide Alberta into seven regions based on watersheds to guide future development.

The plans cover air and water quality thresholds as well as environmental, economic and social use of land.

Knight promised that municipal plans will be honoured, but new zoning bylaws must fit into the regional plan.

“Municipal plans that are in place before a plan has been ratified and accepted for a region by cabinet, any of those municipal plans will be upheld,” he said.

Regional plans must follow provincial laws, and rights of appeal will remain in effect.

Knight also promised that the government will respect leases on public land for grazing, forestry, mining and energy exploration. The lease holder must receive adequate notice of changes and an opportunity to propose alternatives if the government cancels an agreement.

Ted Morton, the former minister of sustainable resources, also said rights will be protected when he spoke at the Alberta Beef Industry conference in Red Deer Feb. 25.

“I regret that we have not been more alert to the crusade of misrepresentations,” he said.

However, he pointed out many decisions affecting property are already controlled by provincial bodies such as the Energy and Utilities Board or the Natural Resources Conservation Board, which oversees intensive livestock operations.

Morton said the coming amend-

I regret that we have not been more alert to the crusade of misrepresentations.

TED MORTON ALBERTA MLA

ments also promise an internal appeal process.

Directly affected landowners may contact the responsible minister, who must act on the complaint.

As well, a section of the act that refers to “extinguishing statutory consent” will be changed.

“We will add an amendment that makes it clear what a statutory consent is not,” Morton said.

Compensation may also be offered through conservation programs such as easements or directives.

The Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties welcomes the promises for more clarity in the act and is willing to see what changes are introduced, said president Bob Barss.

However, he said what municipalities really want is the ability to influence a proposed regional plan before it is released and regulations written.

“All rural municipalities have to have the opportunity to have input because they control what happens on private land,” said Barss.

“I don’t think any kind of a plan is a bad thing. We want to conserve as much agricultural land as we can.”

He conceded that development got out of hand in some regions and this may be a way to control it in the future.

CROP INSURANCE | SASK. UNSEEDED ACRES

Sask. growers to see benefit hike for unseeded acres

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan crop insurance has improved its unseeded acreage benefit for 2011 after last year’s recordsetting year.

More than 12,300 claims for land that couldn’t be seeded because of excess moisture were registered with Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. and officials are expecting wet fields to be a concern again this spring.

The 2011 program will see the benefit rise from $50 to $70 per acre, subject to a five percent deductible for each land description that has wet acres.

“After last year’s record rainfall we are pleased to see an increased unseeded acreage benefit,” said Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president David Marit in a news release.

The seeding intensity calculation that also affects payouts under this benefit has been changed to improve coverage, said SCIC general manager Cam Swan.

“What we’ve done is we’ve said all

the acres you couldn’t seed because it was too wet, we call them seeded for the purposes of calculating seeding intensity,” he said.

Last year was the most severe case of excess moisture the corporation has dealt with in its 50 year history.

It is still in the black, despite payouts of nearly $700 million, with about $480 million in the bank.

“This may sound like a lot of money but depending on how many acres get planted and insured this year, we could be insuring as much as $4 billion in liability,” Swan said.

“So in relative terms it’s important to have some money in the bank.”

Last year about 21.5 million acres were insured, down from 25 million in 2009.

That is mostly due to fewer acres being planted, he added.

Saskatchewan agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said the improvements made to crop insurance will result in a record contribution from provincial coffers.

The government has allocated $161 million for its share of premiums.

That compares to $127 million last year and $155 million the year before. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

The producer share of premiums will also rise from an average of $6.98 to $8.45 per acre.

That is because coverage levels are also at record high levels. The average will be $173 per acre, up from $131 last year.

Bjornerud said these and other improvements should encourage participation.

There were other changes instituted as well: • young farmers beginning new contracts can transfer yield and premium discounts previously earned by relatives in the same family

operation. Before, they had to use area averages without premium discounts. This benefit will be phased in over three years; • producers on joint contracts can start their own contracts without adjustments to their premium discounts or yields. E xisting y i e l d s a n d d i s c o u nt s c a n b e transferred as long as the joint contract was held for at least three years; • an enhanced forage insurance program; • a variable price option will set insured prices in September rather

than July to better reflect market prices; • establishment benefit values for large green lentils rise to $45 per acre from $40, and canola rises from to $50 per acre from $45; • more crops have been added to the crop averaging program, allowing producers to insure up to 90 percent; • the price for field peas has been increased to reflect the increase in the volume marketed for human consumption.

Producers have until March 31 to apply for or make changes to crop insurance contracts.

CATTLE | FEED ASSISTANCE

Feds’ livestock feed program too late: producers Designated Sask. flood zones | The federal-provincial cost-sharing program will pay up to $30 per ton

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Federal money for Saskatchewan livestock producers in 91 flooded rural municipalities is appreciated, producers say, but comes too late for many.

Orland Walker, who raises cattle near Hudson Bay in the designated area, said many producers have left the industr y over the past few months and continue to do so.

“A lot got out because they had no feed,” he said.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz

announced an AgriRecovery program Feb. 22 that will see Ottawa and the province share the cost of providing up to $30 per ton to help producers in designated RMs buy feed.

The two levels of government will also cost-share on freight assistance for producers who have to haul feed or livestock.

The RMs are in northeastern Saskatchewan where excess moisture caused significant hardship last year.

The region was earlier designated as a tax deferral area, in which producers who had to sell breeding livestock qualify for a one-year income tax

deferral to help them rebuild the following year.

The assistance will be cost-shared on the traditional 60 percent federal and 40 percent provincial formula.

The announcement was greeted with some confusion because all Saskatchewan producers are eligible to apply under the existing Saskatchewan Feed and Forage Program announced last November, which also provides up to $30 per ton and freight assistance.

The provincial program includes a reseeding component offering $30 per reseeded acre for perennial for-

age damaged by flooding. Ottawa is not contributing to that part of the program.

“We had to base ours on sound science,” Ritz said when asked why the federal assistance was targeted.

“They’re looking at expanding it on a case by case basis. We’re trying to get some stability between what we do in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta. Everybody wants national standards so we try to keep it as close as we possibly can.”

Walker said the assistance is welcome but “a day late and $2 short.”

Provincial minister Bob Bjornerud

BOB BJORNERUD SASKATCHEWAN AGRICULTURE MINISTER

said some producers are leaving to take advantage of higher prices, but Walker said many sold when calves were worth $600 and cows were worth $650. They’re now worth $1,000 and $1,400, he added.

He expects the feed assistance to pay half what producers need. He said the money should help him buy feed until the end of March. After that, he doesn’t know what he will do.

Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association chair Jack Hextall said he is also frustrated with how long it took Ottawa to unveil the assistance program.

Many farmers had to make decisions about their herds long before help was announced.

“I think everybody really struggles with the timeliness of these programs,” he said. “We continue to press that these programs have to be a lot more responsive.”

The province estimates the program will cost $7.8 to $8 million, depending on how much it is used.

The provincial share will be $5.2 million.

Ottawa has budgeted up to $7 million for Saskatchewan.

Ritz and the Alberta government also announced AgriRecovery payments last week for producers in the Peace region who faced feed shortages because of drought.

Ottawa has budgeted $14.7 million and the province $9.8 million to help producers cover the costs of transporting feed to their herds or their herds to feed.

The money is available to producers in the counties of Grande Prairie, Birch Hills, Clear Hills, Northern Lights, Northern Sunrise and Saddle Hills, and the municipal districts of Big Lakes, Greenview, Smoky River, Spirit River, Peace and Fairview.

GM TOLERANCE | EUROPEAN UNION

Canadian grain exporters pleased with EU committee move on GM

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Europe has taken another step toward softening its rigid zero tolerance stance on unapproved GM crops, much to the delight of Canada’s grain industry.

On Feb. 22, a European Union committee voted in favour of regulations that would establish a 0.1 percent tolerance level for unapproved genetically modified crops found in feed shipments. That is 10 times more leeway than the existing policy.

“It is a very, very important step because it symbolizes this change in attitude within the European Union that they must begin to modify their regulatory framework associated with products produced through modern biotechnology,” said Canada Grains

DENNIS STEPHENS CANADA GRAINS COUNCIL

Council consultant Dennis Stephens.

Earlier in the month there were indications that the committee would reject the proposal. Stephens said there was a lot of lobbying to convince representatives of the member states on the committee to vote in favour of the new tolerance level.

He also credits the turnaround in part to a trip to Europe by Canadian agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, who met with his European counterparts at a food security meeting in Germany.

“I personally think the timing of that was very, very right,” said Stephens.

Perhaps the biggest reason the new tolerance level was embraced was the pressure from Europe’s livestock sector.

In the summer of 2009 the EU rejected about a dozen ships containing 180,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans containing trace amounts of an unapproved GM corn trait.

In response, feed exporters stopped sending product to Europe, causing hardship for the EU’s protein-starved livestock sector. Europe relies heavily on feed imports, bringing in more than 51 million tonnes in 2010.

Stephens said it could be another six months before the technical solution wends its way through the rest of the EU’s political system.

The next step for importers and

exporters will be to convince Europe to expand the policy to include food shipments.

“We have been given assurances they are going to work towards the inclusion of food at the earliest possible time,” said Stephens.

There was concern within the European Commission that a policy that included both feed and food would have been rejected by the member states. But there is a provision in the current proposal to later expand the tolerance levels to include food shipments.

Stephens said in its current form, the proposal will encourage exporters to ship meal rather than seed, which could negatively impact the EU’s crushing industry.

He noted that the proposed policy won’t help Canada’s flax industry gain better access to the EU because

the unapproved traits have to be approved in a non-EU country and there must be an authorization request submitted to the European Food Safety Authority.

The Triffid trait that disrupted flax trade with the EU doesn’t meet those criteria.

The ultimate solution Canada and other exporters are pushing for is for Europe to adopt a low level presence policy, something along the lines of the four percent threshold being considered by the Philippines.

In the meantime, the 0.1 percent proposal is a giant leap forward.

“It will mean a significant reduction in the number of cases where trade has been disrupted because of detection of events unauthorized in the EU,” said Stephens.

SPRING FORECAST | FLOODING

Manitoba braces for floods High snow pack | Fargo suffered $100 million in damage in 2009

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A larger than expected snow pack in North Dakota has increased the likelihood of a flood in Manitoba larger than the one in 2009.

The flood in the Red River Valley that year was the second biggest in the last 100 years.

Manitoba Water Stewardship issued an updated flood forecast Feb. 24 that said there is a good chance the Red River will peak 0.3 to 0.76 metres higher than 2009, assuming snowfall, rainfall and the rate of melt is typical.

As a result, thousands of acres of cropland in the Red River Valley would be covered in water and dozens of roads south of Winnipeg would become impassable.

Several days of above zero weather in February reduced the height of the snow pack in Manitoba, but little of that water made it into rivers and streams, flood forecasters noted.

The spring runoff will likely be above average in many regions of southern Manitoba: • along the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border between Virden and Westray near The Pas;

• Killarney and Cypress River region; • areas southwest of Lake Winnipeg, including Winnipeg.

The forecast said the provincial government is preparing for a spring flood by lowering water levels in the Shellmouth reservoir, near Russell, Man., buying two more sandbagging machines and cutting ice on the Red River north of Winnipeg to reduce the likelihood of ice jams.

Residents of Fargo, North Dakota, hope to fill three million sandbags before spring.

$22 million

Maple Creek and other communities have been approved for assistance under Saskatchewan’s emergency flood damage reduction program.

Maple Creek suffered extensive flooding last June following a severe rainstorm.

A consultant’s report released in February recommended building dikes along the town’s west side to prevent future problems.

Mayor Barry Rudd said the project is still being finalized and he hopes more details will be available for a public information session March 8.

In addition to dikes, the plan will likely also include cleaning out creek beds and culverts, he added.

Although time is running short, Rudd said he thinks the community will be fine with a slow snow melt.

It also has a plan B if the dike project can’t be completed.

“We’ll use big round or square hay bales,” he said. “A lot of communities use them and they actually work better than sandbags because they don’t leak. They absorb the water and hold it.”

Bales that aren’t needed for flood control could be sold, he added.

“This isn’t going to happen again,” Rudd said.

Less than a week after the program was announced, the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority said 70 com-

We’ll also provide 100 percent of the cost to test private potable water supplies….

DUSTIN DUNCAN SASK. CABINET MINISTER

munities, seven RMs and 25 individual farmsteads had already been approved for assistance. More are expected to be approved daily.

Thirteen engineering firms are working with the authority to determine what action is necessary to alleviate flood risk.

The cost of the Maple Creek project is not yet known but Clinton Molde of the SWA said 100 percent of the engineering design and 75 percent of construction costs will be covered.

Those arrangements are part of the $22 million program to help communities and rural residents protect their property from future floods.

Rural yard sites and residences are eligible to receive 85 percent of the cost to protect them and the full cost of technical assistance.

“We’ll also provide 100 percent of the cost to test private potable water supplies that may be impacted by flooding to make sure that people still have access to safe drinking water,” said Dustin Duncan, the provincial cabinet minister responsible for the watershed authority.

The program also includes a shortterm component, such as paying half the cost of sand bagging and clearing channels and frozen culverts.

Farmland protection is not included in this program.

Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president David Marit said several hundred farmyards and rural residences are at risk this spring.

Forecasts suggest flooding will be widespread and the watershed authority is contacting communities that are expected to be most at risk.

Duncan said the amount of money allocated to the program was determined by considering the number of communities that face excess moisture.

“It should be adequate to cover the provincial government’s portion,” he said of the $22 million allocation.

“Certainly it’s our intention to use this program to get us through this spring and 2011.”

However, he also said the program has emergency and long-term components.

The watershed authority will consider funding higher total project costs if certain control structures address long-term needs.

Meanwhile, the public safety ministry is holding meetings with municipal officials to plan for flood risks and ensure effective response.

The ministry will stockpile rapid response equipment and make it available to communities. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

HOGS | MANITOBA PROGRAM

Program helps Manitoba hog producers with manure management

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

New government funding for manure storage may save small Manitoba hog producers facing regulatory extinction, farm leaders say.

A winter-spreading ban for small farmers becomes law in two years, they add, and the $26.3 million in federal-provincial cash through the Manure Management Financial Assistance Program is badly needed.

“This program is definitely going to help,” said Doug Martin of Keystone Agricultural Producers.

“After three years of losses, your bank’s probably breathing down your neck, and then you have to build more storage and upgrade? The money’s just not there.”

The new program will give farmers 75 percent of the cost of building new manure lagoons or repairing old ones, to a maximum of $250,000 per farm.

Larger hog operations have been

banned for years from spreading manure on snow, but small operations were allowed to continue the practice under tightening restrictions.

However, winter spreading will be banned altogether in 2013 and all farms will be forced to have storage facilities large enough to hold more than a year’s worth of manure.

Most operations with less than 300 animal units do not have these storage facilities.

Manitoba Pork Council director

Rick Bergmann said the new funding might allow small farms to survive the winter spreading ban.

“This will be instrumental in allowing a lot of family farms to stay in the game,” said Bergmann.

“A lot of producers that were under that 300 (animal unit) threshold were really wondering what their future was.”

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the funding will help farmers not just store but also treat man-

ure so that phosphorus levels can be controlled.

“The adoption of these technologies will reduce the volume of manure that needs to be hauled, thereby cutting transportation costs, and will decrease the risk of manure runoff from fields in the spring,” said Ritz.

“While our government is dedicated to protecting the natural landscape and water, we’re not about to let our producers carry that cost on their own.” access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

CROP PRICES | REVOLUTIONS

Arab unrest wild card in grain market economy Danger may dampen confidence in economy | Rising instability could push crop prices up or down

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Spreading political unrest in the Middle East could continue to have huge impacts on crop prices, say experts who spoke last week at GrainWorld.

The problem is that it is impossible to predict not only what will happen but also the way markets will react.

“It’s going to be a year of uncertainty,” said Geoff Stone, senior economist with Export Development Canada.

“We’re in for quite a ride in the next couple of years.”

Analysts at the Canadian Wheat B o a rd c o n f e re n c e re p e at e d l y referred to the political unrest, violence and revolutions rocking the Arab world, moving from Tunisia to Egypt to Libya and unsettling nations across the world.

Anxiety caused by unrest in the crucial region has slapped crop markets from both directions.

Some analysts believe crop prices will go up because governments will hoard grain to pacify their people, while others fear imports will be disrupted by social and government breakdown.

Oil prices have surged since Libya, a significant producer, began to roil with revolution.

Traders worry that the unrest in Libya could hurt oil production and that the spreading unrest could close the Suez Canal and disrupt major oil producers Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Canadian Wheat Board market analyst Neil Townsend told reporters that many investors in agricultural commodities don’t know much about farming so they tend to shove prices around as they react to world events.

Emotions can drive traders as much as anybody else and create price swings in commodities such as oil.

“They get scared about things, or they get hopeful about things,” he said.

“They’re mixed with their opinions about what the volatility and the uncertainty in the geopolitical situa-

Revolutions like this one in Libya are sweeping through Arab countries.

You see that jitteriness. I don’t see any decline in that going forward.”

Royal Bank of Canada senior economist Paul Ferley said his greatest economic fear for the coming year is that a geopolitical danger damages confidence, especially in the United States.

The economic recovery is gradual, he added, and “in that kind of environment you get worried about some

sort of unforeseen geopolitical risk kicking in that prevents that recovery from being sustained.… There is a lot of potential for that sort of geopolitical risk to play out.”

Ferley said inflation and excessive growth in Asia are major risks to the world economy and commodity demand.

Governments fearful of out of conrol inflation could clamp down too hard, causing demand to slump and

commodity prices to collapse.

Stone said he sees inexplicably strong prices for some metal commodities, which makes him bearish about their price outlook.

However, crop prices aren’t as dangerously based, Stone said. Not only are crop prices fundamentally supported by tight ending stocks, but people do not respond to high food prices the way they respond to high metal prices.

With high metal prices, people tend to buy less and ration demand.

With increasing food prices, buyers tend to hoard and do things that push up prices, giving agricultural commodities an “atypical supply curve.”

Stone said that bodes well for crop prices.

CHICKPEAS | SEEDING FORECAST

Soggy soil may deter chickpea acres Demand, prices up | Weather damaged crops in India and Mexico

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A market analyst expects farmers to seed fewer chickpeas this spring, despite dwindling stocks and strong market fundamentals.

“I would say the acres are probably going to be down next (crop) year, just in speaking with farmers,” said Dan Hawkins, marketing adviser with FarmLink Marketing Solutions. “(Growers) are hesitant to put chickpeas in with that much water underneath them.”

Chickpeas are an indeterminate crop that will keep growing into October or November when there is

abundant soil moisture, which exposes the pulse to increased frost risk.

Hawkins expects as little as 125,000 acres of the crop, down from his estimate of 175,000 acres last year and a five-year average of 235,000 acres.

Almost all of the acres will be kabulis.

Agriculture Canada is forecasting 210,000 acres, down from its estimate of 205,000 acres planted last year.

Hawkins said there are bullish signals in chickpea markets.

Canada has exported 37,607 tonnes of the crop through the first five months of the 2010-11 marketing campaign, up from 30,552 tonnes during the same period in the previ-

ous crop year.

There will be next to nothing left in the system if that pace of exports is maintained.

Demand prospects appear good, partly because of reports that cold weather damaged Mexico’s kabuli crop in the northwestern states of Sinaloa and Sonora in early February. Chickpea prices rose in Mexico in response to the bad weather.

India’s winter kabuli crop has also suffered early-season damage.

According to Stat Publishing, some traders expect 250,000 tonnes of production, down from the 500,000 tonnes anticipated by market bears.

Hawkins said those two potential

Canadian exports of chickpeas are up and supply is tight. | supply-limiting incidents are behind Canada’s decent kabuli prices.

Bids for seven millimetre kabulis were 28 cents per pound last week, which is four to five cents higher than usually comparable red lentil prices.

Any combination of eight to 10 millimetre kabulis is fetching around 37 cents per lb.

Hawkins said processor consolida-

tion has hurt Canada’s chickpea industr y, giving growers fewer options and reducing their marketing clout.

The only way he can envision a resurgence in the crop is if India banned the export of kabuli chickpeas or if processors came back to the trade out of frustration with reduced lentil processing margins. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

OIL-BIOFUEL LINK | FORECAST

Oil’s threat to economic growth challenges grain market strength MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

C

rude oil prices and grain prices took different directions last week, breaking what had become a general assumption.

For years, rising oil prices were expected to support grain prices because of the connection between oil and biofuel. If oil rose, there would be more demand for ethanol and biodiesel , which would push feedstocks such as corn, wheat, soybeans, palm and canola higher.

But as oil pushed past $100 per bar-

rel on the New York exchange, up 11 percent from the previous week, grain and oilseeds fell about four percent.

The reason appeared to be that investors were worried that the violent revolution in Libya, which unlike Egypt and Tunisia is an oil exporter, had the potential to create oil shortages. There were also worries the unrest could spread to larger oil producers such as Iran and Saudi Arabia.

If oil prices remain higher than $100 for a sustained period, then that could set back the international growth forecast for this year.

Some commentators have widened the threat to say a one-two punch of high oil and high food prices will floor the economic recovery.

There is substance to that worry. It wasn’t only the U.S. mortgage crisis and bank collapses that propelled the world into recession in 2008. Oil at $140 and corn at $7.50 also had a role.

All the power you need to control a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley and oats. With the application flexibility for larger broadleaf challenges. That’s what it means to be NimbleTM. New from Cheminova. Enormously flexible weed control. All at a down to earth price.

Refine SG is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company.

And remember, oil price shocks preceded all the recessions since the 1970s.

So what is the prospect for oil remaining above $100?

Libya produces only two percent of the world’s oil and there is surplus production capacity in other countries.

CIBC oil expert Peter Buchanan said the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, has five to six million barrels of spare capacity that it could press into service if it worried that the world economy could fall back into recession.

But oil bulls like Jeff Rubin, a former chief economist with CIBC World Markets and author of Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller, say the ability of Saudi Arabia to increase production is much less than generally believed.

And if the popular uprisings spread

to Saudi Arabia, the worry would increase even more. The Saudi government last week tried to head off unrest by announcing billions of dollars in programs to increase jobs for young people and improve pay for government workers.

So oil prices are a wild card as long as people in the Middle East and North Africa keep rising up against their authoritarian governments.

With the uncertainty, some money that was in crop commodities has been withdrawn into safer investments.

That helped pressure crop prices lower, but it also set the stage for increased demand and improved fundamentals for grain prices.

We can’t forget the oil-biofuel link.

Higher oil prices make biofuel makers more profitable so they will increase production.

And by the end of last week, that point was again in traders’ minds as

corn prices climbed back from the midweek decline.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Outlook Forum drove home the message last week.

The forecast delivered at the forum was for increased seeded acreages for U.S. corn, soybean and wheat crops. However, even with more production than last year, demand is so high that there would be little growth in year end stocks. Indeed, U.S. wheat stocks would decline.

It is not a sure thing that the production levels that were forecast can be achieved. The heavy snow pack is not limited to the eastern half of the Canadian Prairies. North and South Dakota and Minnesota all have heavy snow packs.

If there are seeding delays, USDA predictions of a near record corn yield of 161.7 bushels per acre, up from 152.8 bu. last year, will be a stretch. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

CANFAX REPORT The struggle continued between packers determined to pressure prices lower and feeders tightly holding cash cattle.

Packers had the edge last week, with the Canfax average steer price falling $1.28 to $104.27 per hundredweight and heifers falling $1.44 to average $103.42.

Most of trade was on a dressed basis at prices near the high end of the range. Sales volumes totalled 11,126, down 17 percent.

The cash to futures basis widened to ‐$5.04 from ‐$3.22 the previous week.

Weekly fed exports to Feb. 12 totalled 9,980 head.

Packers will likely continue to pay just enough to procure cattle to meet their immediate needs, but tight cash cattle supply should limit the fall.

U.S. cash cattle set record highs last week, supported by a strong futures market, good beef exports and feeders willing to keep their gates closed if they don’t get the money they want.

COW PRICES RISE D1, D2 cows rose 30 cents to average $69.59 per cwt. D3s rose $1.27 to average $59.83.

Rail cow prices were steady at $132‐$135.

Good butcher bulls rose $1.83 to average $78.50.

Weekly non‐fed slaughter exports to Feb. 12 rose 13 percent.

Exports are down 34 percent so far this year.

FEEDER PRICES RISE

access=subscriber section=markets,livestock,none

The weekly Canfax average feeder

steer price rose about 30 cents and heifers rose $1.50 per cwt., supported by strong U.S. feeder prices and the need to keep up with strong corn prices.

Steers 300‐400 pounds held firm w h i l e 4 0 0 ‐ 6 0 0 l b. d ro p p e d 4 5 cents.

Strong October live cattle futures helped 600‐700 lb. steers rise $1.42 and 700‐800 lb. were steady.

Steers 800 lb. and heavier rose 50 cents‐$1.

Increased demand pushed 300‐500 lb. heifers up $3 and 500‐700 lb. $2 higher.

Heifers 700‐900 lb. rose 50 cents and those heavier than 900 lb. were steady.

Auction volume totalled 34,886, down 15 percent from the previous week and down 26 percent from last year.

Weekly feeder exports to Feb. 12 were 2,592 head, more than double the previous week but 41 percent lower than last year.

So far feeder exports are down 29 percent.

Fourth quarter fed contracts are still profitable if costs of gain do not rise further, which supports middle weight feeders.

Stockers should see more demand as grass interest improves.

Auction volumes should increase because backgrounders are exhausting winter feed stock.

U.S. BEEF PRICE UP U.S. packers successfully pushed Choice cutouts to $170.36 US per cwt. and Select rose to $169.81, both up $3.14.

Greater volatility in outside mar-

kets and rising crude oil prices, which could curb consumer spending, might soon be reflected in the beef market.

Canadian weekly slaughter of 54,906 head to Feb. 19 was down three percent from the previous week and steady with year ago. Cut-out prices were unavailable.

Montreal wholesale prices for delivery this week fell $2 Cdn to $192‐$194.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG CASH PRICES FALL Seasonally smaller supply and increasing pork demand are expected to support hog prices as spring approaches.

Strong export demand is also supporting prices.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects U.S. pork production to drop by 472 million pounds this year, the largest annual drop since at least 1990.

Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants rose to $62 US per hundredweight Feb. 25 from $58 Feb. 18.

The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value was $92.08 Feb. 25, up from $90.39 Feb. 18.

The U.S. federal slaughter estimate was 2.108 million head, up from 2.086 million the previous week.

BISON STILL STRONG The most recent report from the Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.50-$3.75 per lb. hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.50-$3.65.

Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted.

Slaughter cows and bulls were $2.50.

MAY CONTAIN GM | CONSUMER CONFUSION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Food labels should bring safety information, clarity

R

eports out of Ottawa suggest the political winds are shifting on the contentious issue of whether food containing genetically modified material should be so labelled.

The matter isn’t likely to be addressed via legislation in the near future but the implications should nevertheless be considered by farmers and consumers.

And by politicians.

As it stands, voluntary labels indicating the presence of GM material, or its absence, are approved by the Standards Council of Canada, although there hasn’t been much uptake of that option.

There are now rumblings about mandatory labelling of foods; something along the lines of “may contain” GM content.

It’s premature to debate wording, but given the proliferation of GM crops grown all over the world, a label indicating a food “may contain” GM is useless.

Yes, it may contain GM content. And it may not. Would a consumer reading those words be any better informed?

On Feb. 22, the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) released its report on global plantings of biotech or GM crops.

Such plantings increased by 10 percent in 2010, and internationally more than one billion hectares, or 2.47 billion acres, of land are planted to biotech crops.

The United States remains the biggest adopter of the technology, followed in descending order by Brazil, Argentina, India, Canada, China, Paraguay, Pakistan, South Africa and Uruguay.

Each of these countries had more than 2.47 million acres in production last year, according to the ISAAA, and 29 countries planted biotech crops.

The one billion hectare mark “signifies biotech crops are here to stay,” said ISAAA chair Clive James in his annual report on biotech crop planting.

To get a sense of the acreage, 2.47 billion acres is roughly the same land area as the continental United States.

Planting of biotech crops has increased year over year. The ISAAA says their use has increased 87-fold between 1996 and

2010 and show every sign of continuing to claim acreage.

Why are biotech crops so popular? For the benefits they offer in weed and insect resistance, drought tolerance, better fertilizer use and improved human health.

And it is telling that developing countries grew 48 percent of the total global biotech crop in 2010 and are expected to increase their use.

Given these figures, one begins to see the potential problem with labels indicating foods “may contain” GM content.

With so many countries planting GM crops, and with our food supply becoming increasingly global, much of our food may eventually have some relationship to crops that have been genetically modified.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the final product is genetically modified; only that the source material may have been.

Canola is a prime example. Much of the canola crop is grown from GM seed, but the resulting oil is exactly the same as oil produced from non-GM seed. Thus a label indicating the oil “may contain GM” would be inaccurate.

Then there’s the thorny question being debated in the European Union: can GM content of 0.001 percent be deemed GM free for the purposes of labelling?

When it comes right down to it, food labels should have the primary goal of addressing safety.

Consumers should be able to have confidence that labels are informative and truthful, so they can make intelligent decisions about what they eat.

There is no scientific evidence indicating food derived from GM crops is unsafe.

And a label indicating a food “may contain” GM does not add any clarity to available information about the food in question.

No safety issue, no clarity issue. Why should we rethink the need for GM labels?

BOLD NEW ERA? | PREPARE FOR SCRUTINY

Optimism breaks out in agriculture but is the industry ready for its closeup?

NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

Politicians and farm leaders see a bright future for the agriculture sector

B

ased on the buzz around the corridors of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture meeting last week, optimism is breaking out in rural Canada.

The official theme of the CFA’s annual meeting was “connecting with consumers.”

The unofficial theme was that farmers’ time has arrived. The industry is on the cusp of great times and farmers, whether or not they feel it on their own bottom line, are heading into a golden age.

“There is a sleeping tiger in agriculture and we have to take a look at how we capture it,” Ontario farmer Ron Bonnett told the convention after winning another term as president.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz joined the optimism parade.

“The agriculture industry is a key economic driver here in Canada and today the industry is looking better than it has for some time,” he told delegates.

“Crop prices are up, canola prices

are at a two year high, wheat, corn and barley prices are up sharply since last summer, dairy genetics are increasingly becoming a hot commodity out there on the world stage, the livestock sector is recovering and producers are seeing higher and more stable prices out into the future.”

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff piled on.

“I am fantastically optimistic about the future of Canadian agriculture,” he told Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Bette Jean Crews.

On the ground, the numbers do not seem to reflect the rosy predictions.

Realized net income is projected to fall 38 percent from what Ottawa says was a 2010 record, farm debt is growing, program payments are falling and farmers continue to complain

about excess freight costs.

Yet even farmers are feeling frisky, according to Farm Credit Canada.

President Greg Stewart told the CFA that the annual FCC farmer survey showed most farmers consider themselves better off now than they were five years ago and three-quarters said they expect the next five years to be even better.

“That could be a ballot question,” quipped Ritz with an eye on an election that may be break out within weeks.

Part of what has put swagger into farm leaders’ stride is the fact that several “mainstream” newspapers have started to write about the food industry as if it matters. This, industry leaders say, means the farm and food sectors are finally being recognized as economic engines.

Of course, that attention, if it lasts, could be a double-edged sword.

With more attention comes more scrutiny.

What if the story that food matters suddenly morphs into questions about whether food is safe enough, whether modern farm practices are humane, sustainable or ethical, whether it is right that agriculture has one of the few legalized price-setting or sales monopolies, whether taxpayers should really have to put up billions of dollars each year to support an industry that allegedly is heading into the best of times?

Sector leaders undoubtedly have answers for all those questions.

Once they get over the thrill of being centre stage, they should start to prepare for the scrutiny that the spotlight brings.

CWB LAKERS | ECONOMIC BENEFITS

Ship purchase a good deal for farmers Canadian Wheat Board chair Allen Oberg explains the business case for the CWB’s purchase of two lakers

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

T

he Canadian Wheat Board has decided to purchase two lake vessels based on a strong business case that will result in significant economic benefits for prairie farmers. This investment will generate revenue for decades to come, and pay for itself many times over, just as CWB ownership of rail hopper cars has done.

We on the CWB board of directors, which includes farmers’ elected representatives, have been highly supportive of this innovative idea. We approved this purchase on its business merits, which I would like to share with you.

• Investment: The upfront costs associated with purchasing these ships are about $65 million. The CWB will pay for this over four crop years from its revenues. To put this in context, assuming an average tonnage volume over those four years, this expense is equal to a little less than $1 a tonne — less than half of one percent of expected gross CWB revenues over the payment period.

• Return: The return on this investment begins accruing immediately, once the ships are in operation. This benefit accrues to all farmers, regardless of what port their grain flows to, since all farmers share in all transportation costs. Seaway movement costs all farmers $70 to $75 million each year. Owning ships will see some of that cost come back in the form of freight revenues.

• We conservatively estimate net revenues, after costs of operation

and maintenance, at $10 million per year. That means the ships will have paid for themselves within seven years of going into service.

And they will keep generating revenue for their lifespan, which is at least 25 years.

• In addition, all farmers will benefit from improved efficiencies in transporting grain through the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway.

• Risk: This is a low-risk investment.

These ships are in high demand because the current fleet on the Great Lakes is old and badly in need of replacement, so revenue potential is strong. After delivery, our two ships will operate in a pool of vessels (the others owned by shipping companies Algoma Central Corporation and Upper Lakes Group), operated and managed by Seaway Marine Transport, which is a partnership of those two companies.

• The C WB (farmers) will then receive a proportionate share of the revenue generated from all the freight business carried out by the pool of vessels.

• Opportunity: There is a narrow window of opportunity to make this investment. The strong Canadian dollar, the removal of a 25 percent tariff on imported vessels and the business appetite of global shipyards has made this initiative economically feasible.

• In addition, the fact that others are looking to build new ships means that our order can be part of a larger shipbuilding contract, which helps keeps costs down.

• Because of the dire need to replace an aging Great Lakes fleet, the CWB’s participation was highly desired, which placed us in an excellent position to negotiate favourable terms. We are proceed-

ing in partnership with shipping companies and ship design experts who have long experience in this industry.

• The CWB mandate: The CWB’s mandate is to maximize the financial return to farmers from the marketing of their wheat and barley. Grain marketing includes transportation, which directly affects the competitiveness of prairie grain in the world marketplace and, for that reason, directly impacts farmers’ returns.

• For the same reasons, the CWB purchased 3,400 rail hopper cars in previous years.

Western Canadian farmers are businesspeople who understand the value of cost efficiency, profit margins and investments that generate future revenue.

The purchase of these ships is sound business strategy.

HAIRY MOVIE | GLEEFUL KIDS

Big screen entertainment: family trip to the picture show COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

We keep things special in our family through severe limitation

I

think I could count on one hand the number of times we’ve taken our kids to the movie theatre to see something on the big screen.

That’s how we keep things special.

Severe limitation.

However few their movie outings have been, it’s probably more than my wife and I have gone on alone since we started raising a family.

True grit recognized in Eugene awards

We’re lucky if we have the time to sit down and watch one on the television or on a DVD these days.

I guess that’s why you’re supposed to do those kinds of things in courtship, because you won’t get to do them later.

Last week, we took the whole family to the cinema. Even baby girl was invited along for her first movie at the ripe old age of two and a half.

The movie was animated and so was the level of excitement among the short people in our entourage.

The movie was only 2D so we didn’t need to buy the special glasses, but our family was full on 3D and pretty excited as we entered the theatre.

My brother came along so we’d have a one on one ratio with the kids in case they didn’t mind their manners. It was matinee time, baby sister got in free, but I still plunked down $34. My brother assured me that was a bargain compared to big city California. Guess that makes me glad to

be small town North Dakota.

I bought a bushel of popcorn and a barrel of pop at the extortion snack counter for us all to share. Another $15 but they assured me I’d get free refills. We ate the corn like a pen of feeder steers and drank pop like we’d been trekking the Mojave Desert just so I could exercise the free refill clause of our refreshments contract.

Like I said, we don’t go to a lot of movies, and when we do, we wait longer than most folks before we break down and finally go.

It was soon obvious we had waited long enough to see this one called Tangled, Disney’s take on the old fairy tale of Rapunzel, her tower and her hair climbing hero. We walked into the theater just as it began, and to our surprise and relief, we had the whole place to ourselves.

Now we could stretch out and give the tikes free rein on our cinematic adventure. We had our pick of the seats, extra chairs to throw our coats

on, and didn’t have to worry about giving our kids the Shhh! for bothering fellow movie goers.

Of course, once the popcorn and pop made its way around and the movie started, you hardly heard a peep from them as they stared with wide eyed amazement.

Even the adults enjoyed the movie.

It was a cute show, but I got just as much entertainment looking at the little popcorn munchers sitting on the edge of their seats, giggling and providing commentary on the hairy plot as it unwound.

Of course, it had a happy ending.

And after sharing the 55 gallon drum of pop amongst us, we were all happy when the credits started rolling and we made a dash for the restroom.

We may not wait quite so long to see our next movie or to head to the restroom.

he once-in-awhile Eugene Awards, this newspaper’s invention of agricultural awards that are a spoof on the Academy Awards, were off to a good start.

The Eugenes, named for former federal agriculture minister Eugene Whelan, follow close upon the televised Academy presentations.

The award for best art direction was a no brainer. It went to the farmers of east-central Saskatchewan, who were forced in 2010 to make some fantastical patterns in their fields as they farmed around new lakes, potholes and washouts.

The award for best animated short went to Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett, who has been tireless of late in attending farm group meetings to promote plans for a national food strategy.

The award for best actress went to Mother Nature, for her continued ability to surprise and challenge our emotions through her performances.

She always wins some sort of Eugene.

But then we got distracted with the Best Picture award. True Grit was nominated by the Academy but didn’t win, and Hailee Steinfeld was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and she didn’t win either for her role as the feisty Mattie Ross.

Reviews of the movie suggest the Mattie Ross depiction isn’t true to history, and that women of that era typically didn’t carry a gun, straddle a horse or talk back to men. “ They either kept the house, cooked and tended the children, or they were schoolteachers or prostitutes,” says Nancy Williams, an expert on women’s issues in the Old West.

Having recently seen the original True Grit and the award-nominated remake, we can attest that Mattie Ross is a lot like farm and ranch women on the Prairies today.

We talk with a lot of families in our work at the Producer, and it’s clear that women occupy the heart of many farm and ranch operations.

Whether they are working on or off the farm, driving equipment, handling livestock, managing the household, cooking or keeping track of the kids, modern prairie women have the grit depicted by Mattie Ross. And by Rooster Cogburn too,although most are cleaner and more polite.

Williams says the modern woman is able to identify with strong female characters like Mattie Ross.

Hear, hear. And so the Eugene award for Best Supporting Actress goes to the farm and ranch women of the Prairies, for their constant depiction of true grit.

WALMART PLANS To the Editor: I write regarding the Jan. 27 (opinion titled) “Walmart plans may be good for farmers”.

For the record, I want to say that this far mer has boycotted the Camrose Walmart since its inception, which incidentally sits on the edge of town on fertile farmland, as it does in most other cities.

And oh yeah, they are planning to build 40 more stores in Canada, over more of our farmland, to take more of our dollars out of our economy and send them to the United States.

That sounds like an astute and impressive business plan to me.

Walmart has closed numerous home-grown and/or locally owned businesses here, put the squeeze on many others with its bulk importing of cheap goods made cheaply overseas, and caused people to lose their livelihoods.

In return, Walmart offers a few part-time non-union positions with no benefits.

The only thing I concur with in the Scholz article is that it does provide a few jobs during the building of their stores.

I heartily suggest readers procure and thoughtfully read a somewhat dated book called How Walmart is Destroying America before becoming a Walmart customer.

Allowing for the author’s bias and an agenda, this book still offers real eye-openers as to how Walmart operates and how it impacts the surrounding areas when it puts up its stores.

I find it highly improbable that Walmart would ever provide an opportunity for farmers, and purchase 30 percent of its produce assortment locally on an annual basis unless Walmart profits extensively by it.

Walmart is counting on the positive PR of their announcement of pseudo environmental intent to buy local to boost their bottom line by millions of dollars, as consumers buy into their most recent ploy, and purchase more merchandise and/or produce during this downturn in global buying. …

This farmer housewife will continue to totally support authentic local Albertan/Canadian outlets and merchants in every way possible.

I will not use my hard-earned dollars to support a subsidiary of the worst American giants…

I wish to commend you for the soil issue dated Dec. 30, 2010.

My experience of 57 years grain farming was interspersed with some 20 instructing engineering in Saskatoon. When I tried to acquire useful information about the land (my father had homesteaded nearby from 1904 so we accumulated 100 years of local lore) amateur archaeology gave me contact with several of the scientists mentioned in your paper.

I have the Soil Survey Report No. 12 your paper referred to. It led me to see the field notes taken for our land. I had learned topographic surveying and admired the accuracy with which soil boundaries were recorded when there were no topographic maps before the Second World War. My land includes strandlines that developed as the glacial lake receded. These are minor shores with sandy B-zone showing up with stunted crop.

I had gone along with the averaged soil sampling and found separating these between soil boundaries seemed to bear benefits. Located at the elevations where sloughs did not exist, I learned to recognize podsolic

depressions with the ash-grey Bzone, which supported aspens but no willows. A soils man later told me about how he guessed soil association in the field by native plants.

Forgive my preamble: I began to comment on the soil issue, the role of soil bacteria, chemical farming and the technology now being introduced. My generation had little exposure to this, growing up when mixed farming was key to success. …

I had ancestors that came from that and now we are to fall into the same rut that they worked to get out of.

Out of province or country ownership is not right. We will become slaves in our own country.

How true it is what my ancestor said: “Better to be a small boss than a big servant.” Sounds better in German but it means the same.

WHAT FUTURE? BUYING FARMLAND

To the Editor:

To the Editor:

Reading the Western Producer, I noticed that an analyst sees a rosy future for livestock.

Wonderful. After the government let the finance companies force the cattle producers to sell off their cow herds for 30 cents on a dollar, they will probably give you a loonie to buy them back for $1 and 50 cents on a dollar so you can now pay interest on a $1,500 cow instead of being able to keep the $400 cow.

I wonder if this analyst is investing any of his money into the cattle business or if maybe he is putting his money into oil or construction instead.

The hog people have dug them-

I was very unimpressed with Brad Farquhar’s idea of buying farmland for investors and then lease it back to the farmer in your “Investment pools offer new land lease options,” (WP, Jan. 27.)

How quick generations forget the lessons their forefathers learned in Europe before coming here, looking for land, over 100 years ago. Some of our ancestors came from countries with big landowners where you were a serf. You were treated like property, not a person. When things got bad you hurt the most, not the big landowner.

selves in so deep that it will take 10 years longer to come out of this mess than their life span will allow.

Our agriculture minister is probably going to put a feather in his hat because prices are going up. The smaller cow herd was a lot of his doing. The price of grain because of global shortage will take the profit margin out of the hog business. I wonder if ostriches would pay.

The last time interest (rates) went up, the average loan was about 25 percent of the size they are now. If it goes up again, producers are gone.

We better accept the fact. The good business minded farmers now have enough education that they can get a very good job that pays cash.

It will be interesting to see if the government has enough money in Agri-stability to cover the 2010 shortfall. What if they don’t? …

OPEN FORUM From the interview, one can see farmers are in a chess game with companies who develop seed varieties. Checkmate will be when farmers have to buy certified seed.

As an opening gambit, the multinationals removed kernel visual distinguishability. To keep up Canada’s reputation for good quality grain, farmers now have to sign declarations at every elevator where they

haul grain.

If their information about the grain is incorrect, the penalty is severe. At the time, there was a suggestion the only way a farmer could avoid penalties would be to buy certified seed.

When the Europeans found (genetically modified) flax in what they were buying, the companies were ready to pounce. The industry said they would only buy flax grown from

This might happen sooner than we expect. Harper wants to sign the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. I have heard that in this agreement seed companies will have the right to seize farmland, machinery, bank accounts and e-mails with only the accusation of “alleged infringements.”

This will scare farmers into buying certified seed to avoid not only penalties but losing their farms. Our forefathers were serfs to land barons in the Old Country. If this agreement is signed, we will have Harper’s socalled free enterprise government forcing our children to be serfs to multinational companies.

In this chess game, that is checkmate.

INVESTMENT POOLS To the Editor: Re: land investment pools in your Jan. 27 issue, this … is becoming more and more important as a large portion of our active farmers are reaching retirement age. In the next few years a historically large amount of land will be coming up for sale and the investment funds are positioning themselves to take advantage of this.

According to your article, these investment companies are getting

13

money from a variety of investors including foreign countries such as China and Saudi Arabia.

We need to be thinking about what direction that this will take us. In the 1970s there was a huge uproar about the government buying land and renting it back to farmers in the form of the Land Bank.

It was said that the government was competing against other farmers for the land and that no good could come from the government being in control of our country’s food growing acres.

Yet now, as we see corporate and foreign interests buying up the same land, there is very little being said.

As immigrants, our ancestors came to this country to gain the chance to be landowners. In some of the old countries, the only way you could ever own land and be financially secure was to be born into it.

Young farmers in the Prairies are now competing for land against the pocketbooks of wealthy investment funds and, in some cases, the treasuries of some of the richest countries in the world. Farm debt is at record levels.

How long until we are all just sharecroppers and tenants the way farmers were 200 years ago? If you say it’s a long way off, you aren’t looking at the facts.

I read with interest Greg Petryshyn’s letter (Open Forum, Feb. 17.) He wrote that Australian wheat farmers are happy and doing better under deregulation because of the higher prices brought about by the multiplicity of buyers.

Though there are now about 30 buyers for Australian on-farm wheat, the higher prices are almost certainly a reflection of the $80 per tonne increase in the world price, not new competition. Those same buyers trying to undercut each other to gain market share are more likely to drive prices down.

An examination of Japanese import statistics comparing wheat purchases since the demise of the Australian Wheat Board to a similar time period immediately before shows that Australia’s usual $20 per tonne premium over U.S wheat turned into a slight discount.

The transport confusion, undercutting and inability to blend in the new multiplayer system has cost the Australian wheat farmers what, $50 million per year? $100 million?

CANADIAN FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE | LIBERALS ON FARMING

Ignatieff pledges review of farm programs, supports Liberal party woos ag leaders | Improving services to rural Canada will help narrow the rural-urban divide, says Ignatieff BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is promising a farmer-friendly overhaul of farm programs if he wins government, including a vow not to cut agricultural supports to tame the deficit.

Fifteen years ago, farm leaders complained that their programs and sector took a disproportionate hit when a previous Liberal government eliminated the deficit.

“I can assure you that we do not want to reduce farm supports,” Ignatieff told Ontario farm leader Bette Jean Crews during an appearance at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting Feb. 24.

“We do not want to get us back to fiscal balance on the back of Canadian farmers. That would be crazy.

You feed us, you’re a growth industry. You’ve got fantastic potential.”

Ignatieff renewed an earlier promise to review all farm programs if he takes government. He said he is tired of hearing farmers complain that programs are not working for them.

“I hear you and now it’s time to fix it together,” he said.

“We’re going to have to review all of these programs, not from the top down, but sit around the table with you when we get into government to figure out what’s working and what is not working.”

Ignatieff also returned to a theme he raised two years ago when he first appeared at a CFA convention as the freshly chosen leader: that disparities between services in rural and urban Canada are dividing the country.

We do not want to get us back to fiscal balance on the back of Canadian farmers. That would be crazy. You feed us, you’re a growth industry. You’ve got fantastic potential.”

MICHAEL IGNATIEFF LIBERAL PARTY LEADER

“One of the reasons we have put so much emphasis on rural policy is not just because we want to be nice to farmers,” he told delegates.

“It’s because we believe this is a national unity issue. We don’t want to have two Canadas. We want to have one Canada.”

He said a Liberal government would spend half a billion dollars to improve rural internet service, create a national food policy that emphasizes getting more Canadian food on Canadian tables, spend more on agricultural research, offer a tax break for rural volunteer fire fighters and encourage more health-care workers to go to rural Canada by forgiving thousands of dollars in education debt.

However, Ignatieff told Crews he cannot say how much his promises to agriculture would cost or how they would be funded. Only in government would he be able to see the real numbers.

He said the Liberal promise to kill a Conservative plan for corporate tax cuts would create $6 billion in revenue that the government is now willing to forego. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

“I can’t put a number on farm programs,” he said. “Let’s put them in a hopper, talk about them and see what works.”

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz issued a dismissive statement in response to Ignatieff’s promises.

“Liberal farm policies failed Canadian agriculture producers for 13 years and now that farmers are finally getting back to profitability, the Ignatieff liberals want to take us back,” he said. “Instead of bridging some imaginary academic divide, the Harper government is standing up for rural Canada with actual programs that strengthen the farmgate.”

In a Feb. 24 interview, Ignatieff insisted the chasm between rural and urban Canada is not an academic divide.

He said rural Canada needs services, infrastructure and health care so young people will stay on the farm.

CFA BRIEFS NEW FACES Humphrey Banack of Round Hill, Alta., has been elected second vicepresident of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

Banack’s election was part of a shakeup in the CFA leadership. He announced in January that he would not seek re-election as the president of Alberta’s Wild Rose Agricultural Producers.

Ontario farmer Ron Bonnett, who became president last year, was

elected by acclamation to a two-year term as president.

Christian Lacasse, president of Québec’s Union des Producteurs Agricoles, was elected vice-president, defeating former vice-president Garnett Etsell, a British Columbia turkey producer.

Banack defeated Etsell and Agricultural Producers’ Association of Saskatchewan president Greg Marshall for the last executive position.

For the past two years, Etsell had led the CFA work on developing a access=subscriber section=news,none,none

national food strategy.

Bonnett said after the elections that Etsell can continue to be involved in the strategy because he is still on the CFA executive committee.

BELT TIGHTENING The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is facing budget belt-tightening in future years after recording a 2010 deficit of almost $40,000.

This year, it projects a $13,470 surplus after increasing membership dues by three percent and trimming the budget for staff salaries, travel and national office expenses.

However, Québec’s Coop Fédérée, a long-time member, has left the CFA, taking its $72,837 membership dues with it.

This year’s three percent increase in dues is part of a five-year plan approved in 2007 to improve the federation’s financial stability.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture wants the federal government to pick its appointed Canadian Wheat Board directors from a list of candidates assembled by elected board directors.

At the federation’s annual meeting last week, delegates approved a resolution that the government should “accept a list of names of potential candidates for appointment to the CWB that would fill any void of expertise that may exist around the board table.”

The original resolution suggested the 10 elected directors should draw up the names of acceptable candidates. It was amended to allow farm groups or others to also submit names to the elected directors.

Farmers elect 10 directors to the CWB’s 15-member board and the government appoints four others, as well as the president.

Ottawa refuses to fund provincial farm programs

Cdn $ per tonne in store Vancouver or St. Lawrence

OTTAWA BUREAU

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has refused to budge from his position that the federal government will not co-fund provincially designed farm support programs.

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff quickly said he would, if that’s what farmers want.

Ritz told Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Bette Jean Crews that he understands the need for regional flexibility in national programs and the need for provinces to be able to create business risk management programs for their farmers.

“There is a growing recognition that we need more regional flexibility,” Ritz said as he answered questions after a Feb. 23 speech to the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual convention.

“In the next suite of Growing Forward, there will be more flexibility built into it to allow for companion programming.”

Crews said it was not enough to let

provinces spend their own money.

Ontario has been funding a risk management program for three years. However, without federal support, it is only 40 percent funded.

“Even in our provincial flexible programs, we need federal buy-in, we need federal support,” she said.

Ritz stood firm.

“We do that in the vast majority (of cases), but when it comes to provincial stand-alone companion programs, we don’t.”

“That’s the problem,” Crews shot back. “It does not need to be stand alone.”

Later, Ritz told reporters he supports the ability of provinces to create income support programs their farmers need.

“But we will never put a federal component to that,” he said.

He said such programs are not part of the Growing Forward suite and would be vulnerable to trade challenges.

The following day, Ignatieff used a speech to the convention to announce that federal funding for provincial business risk manage-

ment programs would be restored as part of a Liberal farmer-directed rewrite of farm policy if the party takes power.

Ottawa’s 60 percent funding for companion programs was phased out almost a decade ago under a p re v i o u s L i b e ra l g ov e r n m e n t through a federal-provincial agreement on the first agricultural policy framework.

“Let’s put the flex back in AgriFlex,” he said.

“Let’s make sure we have federal assistance for agriculture.”

However, in a later interview, Ignatieff suggested he would use federal support for provincially designed programs as a form of equalization and not allow it to become a vehicle to create unequal farmer support between provinces.

A criticism of the old companion program rule was that wealthier provinces could launch a program that attracted federal co-funding while poorer provinces could not. It sometimes resulted in production migrating to provinces where support was richer. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

BIOTECHNOLOGY | BENEFITS

Group proclaiming biotech benefits deflects GM critics

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Strained global food supplies would be even tighter if it hadn’t been for agricultural biotechnology, according to a new report.

The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) said the rapid adoption of genetically modified crops from 1996 to 2009 contributed an additional 229 million tonnes of food, feed and fibre production.

In its annual report detailing the spread of GM crops, the group said the technology delivered $65 billion in benefits to world farmers.

The ISAAA report attributed 44

percent of the benefit to reduced production costs through less plowing, fewer pesticides and reduced labour costs. The remaining 56 percent was the result of yield gains.

Lucy Sharratt, co-ordinator of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, took issue with ISAAA’s claims.

She said Canada’s House of Commons agriculture committee recently heard testimony that yield gains have nothing to do with biotechnology.

“It’s the hybrids themselves and not the GM traits that are generally accounting for yield gains,” said Sharratt.

She also disputed the ISAAA’s savings estimate, saying it doesn’t take

into account increased seed costs, lost markets and the cost of dealing with herbicide resistant weeds.

“It’s very clear that some of those savings are breaking down rapidly, certainly in the United States. Cotton farmers are having to resort to hand weeding because of herbicide tolerant weeds that their machines can’t deal with.”

ISAAA chair Clive James said the criticisms are unfounded.

The yield benefit, which came from a PG Economics study, is related only to traits and not germplasm. As well, the dollar benefit from that study is net profit, which takes seed costs into account.

James said the dollar figure is con-

servative because it estimates only direct benefits.

In China, an estimated 10 million conventional farmers have indirectly benefited from GM cotton because it suppressed cotton bollworm infestations, which also affects conventional corn and soybean crops.

Friends of the Earth Europe said the ISAAA report should be taken with a grain of salt because it is funded in part by seed companies. The group contends the report uses creative accounting and is over-reliant on slanted industry data.

“It ignores increasing evidence showing that GM crops do not generate higher yields or help to solve hunger but are actually increasing

pesticide use, contaminating seeds and food and destroying poor farmers’ livelihoods because of high costs and monopolies,” said the group in a report titled Who Benefits from GM Crops.

ISAAA said the accumulated reduction in pesticides due to GM crops from 1996 to 2009 amounts to 393 million kilograms. Friends of the Earth contends pesticide use in the U.S. increased by 173 million kg over that same time frame.

James said ISAAA is a non-profit organization that receives most its funding from philanthropic groups.

He said he is confident in the acreage numbers, which are similar to government estimates.

Friends of the Earth has estimated that GM acreage in Europe declined by 23 percent between 2008 and 2010.

James also rejected the environmental group’s dismissal of industry as a source of reliable information.

“Nothing could be further from the truth. Industry has probably got some of the best data,” said James.

“They can tell you how much seed they have sold right down to the half bag.”

ISAAA said the best proof of agricultural biotechnology’s worth is the rapid adoption of the technology around the world.

The report shows 15.4 million growers in 29 countries planted 366 million acres of GM crops in 2010, a 10 percent increase from 2009.

Acreage has increased 87-fold since the first GM crops were grown in 1996, making it the fastest adopted crop technology in the history of modern agriculture.

Developing countries accounted for 48 percent of the 2010 acreage.

“This is contrary to the predictions of some critics who speculated, prior to commercialization of biotech crops, that biotech crops were only for the rich and large farmers in industrial countries,” said James.

GM soybeans accounted for half of the global biotech acreage, followed

by GM corn at 31 percent, GM cotton at 14 percent and GM canola at five percent.

Friends of the Earth said commercial production of crops such as wheat, rice, cassava, barley, oats, sorghum and millet are still GM-free.

It said GM crops still cover a tiny percent of the world’s agricultural land and that herbicide tolerance and insect resistance are the only two traits cultivated on a large scale.

“The biotech sector is marred by public discontent and fails to deliver on its promises of new traits of nutrient-enhanced and climate-resilient crops to address the twin challenges of malnutrition and climate change,” said the Friends of the Earth report.

James said GM crops are grown on 10 percent of the world’s cropland, which rivals global rice and corn plantings.

ISAAA predicted 20 million farmers in 40 countries will be growing 494 million acres of GM crops by 2015, which marks the end of the second decade of commercialization of the technology.

“By far the most important new biotech crop nearing commercial approval and adoption is biotech rice,” he said. “Not only is it the most important food crop in the world, it is also the food crop of the poor and furthermore it feeds half of humanity.”

SPECIAL REPORT

Alberta’s spectacular economic and population growth has delivered benefits but has also come at a cost. It has pressured the environment and created conflicts between land uses.

A provincial system of regional planning was created in 2008 to co-ordinate growth and reduce conflicts, but the system and the laws that created it face sharp criticism from those who believe it runs roughshod over property rights.

In this report, The Western Producer’s Barbara Duckworth sets out Alberta’s land-use framework and the views of its supporters and critics.

Alberta’s land-use plan draws criticism Preservation vs. property rights | Landowners want limits on development but worry new laws give cabinet too much power

ROB ANDERSON ALBERTA MLA

he mythology of the Alberta Advantage is based on the image of entrepreneurial risk takers eyeing the next opportunity.

That attitude encouraged rapid development, driven by a relentless hunger for more land, water, energy and infrastructure with little government control or oversight.

Albertans murmured that a plan was needed before the province was entirely paved over.

To address the need, the provincial sustainable resource development ministry under Ted Morton released a land-use framework in 2008.

It was designed to look at the cumulative effects of development rather than reviewing it on a project by project basis.

To legalize the framework, the Alberta Land Stewardship Act, also known as Bill 36 or ALSA, received royal assent in June 2009.

Most Albertans agree planning is needed, but Bill 36 has come under fire at well-attended public meetings where petitions circulate to repeal it and two other land use laws, bills 19 and 50.

The protests against Bill 36 focus on sections that give decision-making and veto powers to the province’s cabinet with no appeal rights or compensation if land is set aside for

LAND-USE FRAMEWORK • Local governments would have to align plans and bylaws with regional plans • The ministry warned that some activities might be curtailed in some regions for the sake of the environment • It promised seven regional plans based roughly on the province’s major watersheds: the Lower Peace, Upper Peace, Lower Athabasca, Upper Athabasca, North Saskatchewan, South Saskatchewan and Red Deer • Government-appointed regional advisory councils were to consult with the public to determine what the regions should look like, how to protect the environment within those regions and how much growth an area could support • Completed plans must be reviewed every 10 years environmental protection.

Bill 19, the Land Assembly Project Area Act passed in May 2009, allows the province to buy land for large public plans such as transportation corridors and water management projects.

Bill 50, the Electric Statutes Amendment Act also passed in 2009, gives the government approval powers for electricity transmission infrastructure such as large projects planned for the Calgary-Edmonton corridor and the oilsands.

Bill 36 is the most powerful of these acts, but Mel Knight, the current sustainable resources minister, said the government did not intend to violate citizens’ rights.

He said the legislation cannot take away freehold mineral rights, land titles or rights to compensation.

“When ALSA passed through the legislature, I am going to suggest that we missed some of the interpretation that was in there, never recognized that,” he said.

“When we took it out on the street, people would not understand what ALSA was doing.”

The minister has promised amendments to the bill this spring to remove troublesome clauses about extinguishing rights or loss of compensation.

“ALSA does not take away any person’s right to compensation that has resided under any other legislation in Alberta and it will remain in place,” he said.

The opposition Wildrose Alliance is critical of the land use bills.

MLA Rob Anderson planned to table a private member’s to repeal Bill 50 in the spring session at the end of February. He has been told the government will challenge the bill.

Anderson, a former Conservative who defected to the Wildrose in early 2010, claims there was little time to review the three bills when they were tabled. Government MLAs assumed the bills were appropriate and most gave them only a cursory look, he said.

“You just take the cabinet minister’s word for it.”

However, Anderson voted against Bill 50 while still a Conservative. He doubts the government will repeal any of the laws, even after a new leader replaces premier Ed Stelmach, who announced his resignation in January.

“I don’t think it is going to change at all because Ted Morton built Bill 36 and he might be the successor. The cabinet all supported Bill 50 and Bill 36. I know there are a couple who regret it now because they realize what it contains.”

The Wildrose Alliance said if elected it would introduce property rights legislation, repeal all three bills and return planning authority to locally elected jurisdictions. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Seeking public good shouldn’t create private cost Balance needed | Opponents fear planning laws will eliminate the rights of landowners

J

ames Hargrave prefers chasing cows to getting involved in politics.

However, he felt he had to step forward when he heard about the provisions in a new land-use plan proposed for Alberta.

The Alberta Beef Producers delegate agreed to research the Alberta Land Stewardship Act, or Bill 36, as part of a special ABP committee.

The province has promised to amend Bill 36 and remove controversial clauses over property rights, compensation and the right to appeal, but Hargrave remains distrustful.

“I don’t think they know where they stand on this. They contradict themselves so many times it is hard for me to trust.... Or are they are just doing this to smooth things over?” said Hargrave, who ranches near Walsh in southwestern Alberta.

He also recently learned that provincial maps showing potentially environmentally sensitive land include some of his property.

Sensitive land might include the habitat of species at risk, special

topography or riparian areas.

Hargrave believes Bill 36 should be repealed.

“If they want to do this right, they are going to have to take it back to square one, peel it right down,” he said.

“I agree 100 percent that Alberta needs land-use planning. We have many different industries that work on our landscape, but planning needs to encompass property rights.”

The legislation includes provision to pay ranchers for conservation, but Hargrave said they don’t know if that means they would have to abandon the land and lose grazing or be restricted in developments such as water projects or fencing.

“It severely restricts what you can do with it.”

When the land-use framework was proposed, many thought it was simply an overarching planning document for a fast growing province.

But is was more than that , said Keith Wilson, an Alberta lawyer who specializes in agricultural and environmental cases.

“It is almost like the land-use framework and the Land Stewardship Act are like one is from Mars and one is from Venus,” he said. He thinks the most troubling part of the law is Section 11, which grants the government the right to extinguish rights: “For the purpose of achieving or maintaining an objective or a policy of a regional plan, a regional plan may, by express reference to a statutory consent or type or class of statutory consent, affect, amend or extinguish the statutory consent or the terms or conditions of the statutory consent,” the section reads.

Wilson is also troubled by words in Section 19: “No person has a right to compen-

sation by reason of this Act, a regulation under this Act, a regional plan or anything done in or under a regional plan.”

Wilson said those sections surprised many producers and producer organizations that participated in consultations relating to the landuse framework program.

“There was never any discussion about putting provisions in the enabling legislation that would give the cabinet, effectively 13 politicians sitting around the table in Edmonton, the legal authority to extinguish existing rights.”

He said Albertans were promised that the framework would solve conflicts between agriculture, oil and gas, forestry, aboriginal groups and cities, yet Section 15 says no one can bring a court claim against the government to receive damages when land is set aside for the public good.

The province has promised to amend those passages.

“Not every policy decision should be litigated in the courts, but what is critical here is cabinet will be making

decisions affecting individual people’s land,” Wilson said.

“It is amazing to me that any government would think it is OK to write legislation with these types of blanket powers and at the same time removing the traditional checks and balances that exist in a constitutional democracy.”

Despite the provisions to pay landowners for ecological goods and services, Wilson doubts taxpayers or the marketplace will pay for environmental protection.

“The way that we have traditionally in our economy and our society recognized good stewardship is through respecting people’s property rights and their land. If you own it and you look after it, it will be worth more later,” he said.

“To replace that with a legislative f ra m e w o r k t h a t i n s t e a d g i v e s supreme land-use making decisions to the cabinet and then trying to supplement whatever disruption that causes by doing this abstract concept of ecological goods and services, I just think it is folly.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

LAND | CONSERVATION

Law creates tools to pay landowner New mechanisms create ways to compensate for development limits

F

or Cochrane area rancher Harvey Buckley, much of the furor around the Alberta land-use framework is unfounded.

“There is a lot of false information out there drummed up by the people who want business as usual and let the good times roll,” said the former municipal councilor and a member of the agricultural protection group Action for Agriculture.

Buckley, a long-time proponent of land-use planning that preserves food producing areas and ecosystems, says the Alberta Land Stewardship Act, or Bill 36, will not remove property rights as some charge.

“Somewhere along the road, somebody has to take responsibility in a democratic system. The buck has to stop somewhere. In all those legislations, it usually stops with government,” he said.

And in a province where development seems to have proceeded with few controls, he welcomes a powerful law that creates conservation tools to protect the environment and pay landowners to maintain native lands, protect wildlife and conserve water.

He said the law came too late to reduce urban sprawl around Calgary and Edmonton, where farmland has been covered with pavement.

However, it is not too late to start planning, he added.

“You have to start sometime. You are not going to put a complete stop to it, that is just not possible. But what you do, is you manage it.”

Buckley sees renewed hope for the agriculture sector, where farmers and ranchers could be paid to maintain the landscape through conservation methods described in the act.

This is sometimes called payment for ecological goods and services.

“There is no question that the land-

owners are going to have to be looking at another revenue stream if they are going to maintain a stewardship level that is sustainable and still supply the quality of water and wildlife habitat,” Buckley said.

The act allows for conservation easements and directives, conservation offsets and transfer of development credits: • An easement is a voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and a qualified organization, such as a land trust or government, to conserve the ecological integrity of a piece of land. The easement is registered on the land title, but landowners retain ownership.

• Conservation offsets can be used to replace, restore or compensate for affected landscapes. For example, a company can conserve an environmentally significant area to offset its industrial activity elsewhere. The act sets the framework for offsets to be used for restoration, mitigation or conservation as well and creates rules for defining and trading offsets.

• Conservation directives allow regional plans to set aside specific areas to protect, conserve and enhance agricultural land and land with environmental, scenic or aesthetic values. The Alberta government will compensate landowners for any decrease in the market value of their holdings, based on principles in the expropriation act.

• Governments may assign development credits to areas with attributes worth conserving because of its environmental or historical importance. Credit holders may sell them to projects in areas where the government allows development beyond existing zoning limits. Land-use plans may designate

the areas to be conserved and areas to be developed.

• A conservation exchange supports, verifies and tracks the use of market-based conservation and stewardship instruments such as conservation offsets or transfer of development credits.

Sustainable resources development minister Mel Knight said the government is still determining who would pay landowners for these conservation opportunities.

Partnerships may be formed with groups such as Ducks Unlimited, the Alberta Fish and Game Association or the Canadian Conservation Association, he said.

Alberta also has a land stewardship fund created from public land sales. It could be used to buy land considered a valuable environmental resource.

Volunteers with watershed councils welcome the conservation tools and the drive to protect land, especially in the South Saskatchewan River basin where development demands have outstripped the water supply, said Gloria Wilkinson, vice-chair of the Bow River Basin council.

The province announced in 2008 that no new water licenses would be granted from the basin. Property developers must now negotiate with current license holders.

“We desperately need a plan that shows how to manage the water we do have,” Wilkinson said.

Land protection agreements could

be set up to conserve water.

“If there is a wetland area that is the only source of recovering the ground water in the area, then that for example would be an area that would become protected in some way,” she said.

Glitches may appear in this landuse planning approach, but she hopes it heralds a new way of thinking about development.

“I think it is just the next logical step.

It will then make everyone think cumulative management style.”

Wilkinson said she also hopes to see an end to land speculation.

Developers may have to renegotiate their plans in some areas because there is not enough water or the land was designated as part of a protected riparian area. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

RENEWABLE FUEL | GOVERNMENT INTENTIONS QUESTIONED

Biofuel policy called just another farm subsidy Green party opposes policy | Leader says later generations of biofuel will help environment, but for now there is no benefit BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Conservative government calls its biofuel policy an environmental initiative, but Green party leader Elizabeth May isn’t buying it.

“As it now stands, it’s a policy to provide an additional subsidized base to canola and corn and it’s an agricultural policy,” she said.

“The driver really isn’t reducing greenhouse gases.”

May said Green party analysis, along with that of many other environmen-

talists, is that farm crop-based biofuel production produces more greenhouse gas emissions than it removes when emissions from planting, harvesting, transportation and processing are taken into account.

“Our objection is primarily that it fails to reduce greenhouse gases on a life-cycle basis,” she said.

Using agricultural products to produce fuel also affects world food supplies, although May said it is an oversimplification to argue that biofuel caused the world food crisis in poor and hungry nations.

ELIZABETH MAY GREEN PARTY

“It clearly is much more complex than that and includes the fact that you have climate crisis, extreme

weather events and manipulation of markets.”

May said later generations of biofuel that use waste products and cellulosic feedstocks will be a real environmental policy, but that is not the case now.

“Corn-based ethanol is, we think, a disguised subsidy to large scale production of corn with the potential of distorting global food markets,” she said.

“But if you were to take the corn husks off the field to make cellulosic ethanol, we think that’s a pretty green access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Making biodiesel out of waste french fry oil or stale-dated margarine would also be environmentally meaningful.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and environment minister Peter Kent recently announced a regulatory requirement that biodiesel and home heating oil will require an average minimum of two percent biodiesel.

They sold it as part of the government’s greenhouse gas reduction commitment and said it could come into effect July 1.

Ritz also said it was aimed at helping farmers.

“The new renewable fuel content in biodiesel and heating oil will give our farmers another market for their crops and demonstrates how agriculture can contribute to reducing Canada’s environmental footprint,” he said in the government announcement.

ConAgra vows fast action on price increases BOCA RATON, Fla. (Reuters) — When it comes to raising prices, ConAgra Foods Inc. chief executive officer Gary Rodin said this time will be different.

Rodin, who admitted three years ago that ConAgra was late to raise prices to offset rising commodity costs, said the company has already raised prices on more than half of its portfolio in the wake of the latest spike in commodity costs. He said there could be more increases.

Raising prices was the only responsible way to handle the recent spike in the cost of wheat, oil and other commodities that has pinched profit margins for nearly all food companies.

“There’s only so much you can cover with savings and productivity,” Rodin said.

He noted however that savings and productivity would cover a sizable portion of the inflation, which has driven up its costs for grains, meat, cooking oils, packaging and fuel.

Even though price increases may hurt sales volume by about a percentage point, as budget-conscious consumers get turned off, Rodin said ConAgra is willing to make the tradeoff to preserve margins.

ConAgra expects commodity costs to rise by at least five percent this year, and about seven percent in fiscal 2012. In 2007 and 2008, ingredient costs also spiked, but ConAgra was slow to raise prices, due in part to product recalls of its Peter Pan peanut butter and Banquet potpies due to salmonella contamination.

“We’ve learned some lessons,” Rodin said. “We have stronger muscles built now on pricing…. We’re doing it more in real time than several years ago.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ORGANICS | GM TOLERANCE

Greenhouse Organic sector leery of accepting low-level GM Fear over lost markets | Some exporters say it is almost impossible to guarantee zero GM gases may offset normal cooling BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — Ancient megadroughts that lasted thousands of years in what is now the southwestern United States could offer a preview of a climate changed by modern greenhouse gas emissions.

Scientists have found that these persistent dry periods were different from even the most severe decadeslong modern droughts, including the 1930s dust bowl.

They also determined that these millennial droughts occurred at times when the Earth’s mean annual temperature was similar to or slightly higher than what it is now.

These findings tally with projections by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to study author Peter Fawcett of the University of New Mexico. The results were published in Nature.

“The IPCC model suggests that when you warm the climate, you’ll see extended droughts in this part of the world and this is what the paleo record seems to be telling us,” Fawcett said.

“When you’ve got past temperatures that were at or above today’s conditions, conditions got drier.”

The southwestern U.S. has seen steep population growth over the last century, with population increasing by 1,500 percent from 1900 to 1990, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The total U.S. population grew 225 percent over the same period.

The settlement of this area depended, as all human settlements do, on access to water. There would clearly be less water available in a megadrought.

Past megadroughts were caused by subtle changes in the Earth’s orbit around the sun, which were also responsible for periodic ice ages.

The Earth should be heading into a cool period if these orbital changes were the only influence on the planet’s climate, Fawcett said.

However, recent temperature statistics indicate that is not the case. The decade that ended last year was the hottest since modern record-keeping began in 1880.

The previous decade, 1991-2000, was next warmest and 1981-1990 was third warmest.

Emissions of climate-warming greenhouse gases help trap heat near the Earth’s surface and could be influencing the natural orbital cycle.

To figure out just how long these megadroughts lasted and what happened during them, scientists took samples from a dried lake bed in northern New Mexico called the Valles Caldera.

They analyzed these sediments for biochemical signs of drought, including which trees and shrubs grew and how much calcium was in the cracked mud in the dried lake bottom. They also looked at signs left by soil bacteria.

Fawcett said the fats in the walls of these bacteria change structure in response to temperature changes and act like a tape recorder for antique temperatures. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

International agreement to not consider the low-level presence of unapproved genetically modified material as a trade barrier doesn’t necessarily answer organic sector concerns about unwanted GM contamination.

Jodi Koberinski, executive director of the Organic Council of Ontario, recently told MPs on the House of Commons agriculture committee that not all of her members are willing to give up the fight to keep the organic standard at zero GMO.

“Our sector hasn’t reached consensus on adventitious presence versus zero tolerance,” she said Feb. 15 as the committee continued its hearings on biotechnology in agriculture.

“It’s something that we are hotly debating amongst ourselves right now.”

Organic growers complain that it is difficult to keep GM content out of organic shipments, and committee members suggested during the hearings that negotiating low-level tolerance agreements with importers could offer them protection.

Organic rules specify that a product must be GMO-free to qualify.

“Our position is we don’t want to see organic farmers losing their businesses over adventitious presence,” Koberinski told MP Wayne Easter.

“I don’t believe that this sector as a whole is ready to give up the concept that drift can be contained into the future, potentially not with the four crops we’ve commercialized now but certainly as we move forward.”

She later said there is a suspicion that whatever agreements governments make, consumers still will not want genetically modified material in their food.

“We don’t believe the European consumer is going to accept low-

level presence,” she said. “So what we could potentially see is market dryup for crops that are coming into Europe on an import basis in favour of zones that maintain some level of commitment to a GE-free policy.”

She said consumers don’t know what they are eating if there isn’t labelling, which could make them suspicious of imports.

“The reality is we don’t know what will happen,” she said. “We could see basically the evaporation of the organic sector to some degree.”

She also conceded consumer backlash could subside and the market could return to business as usual. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FRONT ROW SEATS TO CATTLE SHOW

Semen exporter jumps hurdles A sale has still not been made despite India’s push to improve the hog industry

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

NISKU, Alta. — Patience is the commodity most needed while trying to break into the Indian market.

Alfred Wahl’s first trip to India in 2006 showed him the potential for the development of the hog industry, but four years and three trips later he has had no sales from his Alber ta-based Polar G enetics Group, part of Peak Swine Genetics Inc. Wahl still hopes to be the first company to sell semen to India. It’s been more than 10 years since the last live hog was exported to India and the herd has become inbred, he said.

Wahl is also hoping Alberta premier Ed Stelmach’s trip to India in November will help smooth the way for better trade.

Unlike Saskatchewan, with its shipments of potash and pulses to India, there is little agriculture trade between Alberta and India.

Despite a majority of vegetarian Hindus in India, Wahl estimated about 300 million non-vegetarians are looking for more meat, including pork.

Government run 100-sow pig operations scattered across the country are part of a poverty-elimination program designed to make weaner pigs available to small farmers.

“We met with high level officials and are anticipating continued interest both nationally and at the states level in increasing pig production through diversification and making more animals for people,” said Wahl.

“The price of pigs is quite high in India. There’s an interest from the government to increase production in India.”

As well as semen sales, Wahl believes there is an opportunity to help streamline the process from production to processing of the country’s roughly 15 million pigs.

There is no vertically integrated system of raising, processing and selling pigs to market.

Punjab officials are considering bringing in pig semen and officials from the northeastern Indian states, which is mainly a meat-eating population, are interested in developing an improved hog industry.

Wahl believes with more relationship building his patience will eventually pay off.

“Government officials are anxious to make that happen.”

DISEASE | RUST FUNGI

Researchers focus on genes to learn secrets of rust fungi Fungi alter their genome | Plants often fail to recognize rust as an enemy because rust can change how it attacks

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDALL BEACH, B.C. — Rust fungi can cause major economic losses every year to crops and trees.

Finding ways to combat it has proven difficult because of its ability to spread, adapt, mutate and mix their genetic materials, similar to flu viruses.

Now Richard Hamelin at the University of British Columbia Department of Forest Sciences and Guus Bakkeren with Agriculture Canada have linked up through Genome British Columbia and international colleagues to research the molecular and genetic interactions between rusts and their hosts.

They are focusing on the poplar rust fungus and the wheat leaf rust fungus. They are trying to identify genes that influence how rust infects plants, which plant genes help fight rust and how rust adapts so quickly to new rust-resistant wheat varieties.

“The rust spores are spread by wind and when they land on a host plant they germinate, penetrate the leaves and trigger specialized tubes that are called haustoria to push their way inside and siphon off the nutrients and sugars from the host plant,” said Hamelin.

“We think they can adapt so quickly because of the huge population size, which makes it possible for the fungus to generate mutations that allow the pathogen to overcome the host resistance.”

Hamelin said periods of high humidity trigger the onset of rust infection. Large areas of monocultures, single varieties of crops or trees grown in a large area, make it easy for rust spores to spread, he said.

Bakkeren estimated that wheat yield losses caused by wheat leaf rust, ranged from five to 20 percent or about $88 million annually for 2001-05.

“In a 2007 field trial, leaf rust caused an average 30 percent loss in 40

wheat cultivars that varied for genetic resistance. Genetic resistance to WLR contributed an estimated $280 million of farmgate value to the Canadian economy annually from 1995-2005.”

Many scientists believe that rust is so successful because its DNA is littered with millions of copies of repeats and, as Bakkeren said, transposable elements known to cause changes in DNA. These elements jump around causing damage to other genes or taking parts of them along as it moves chunks of its chromosomes around.

“The current thinking is that plants recognize one or some of the many access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

“This recognition sets off the resistance and these fungi fight back by making sure the plant can no long see/recognize the proteins.”

by changing them so they are no longer injected. If they are injected they are cloaked and can no longer be recognized by the plant.

The repeats in the DNA help by stimulating new, similar copies of such proteins, some of which can change to no longer be recognized.

In 1999, a new strain of the wheat stem rust (Ug99) was discovered in Uganda and existing wheat varieties normally resistant to established rust fungi were unable to cope with the more aggressive strain.

“Scientists think what happened with (that) outbreak was that isolates (races) probably evolved on wild grasses in the mountains and then started infections on the plains below,” said Bakkeren. “(Domestic) wheat plants were not equipped to resist them, which led to escapes and an epidemic that is now spreading (through the Middle East) and might spread to North America and Australia.”

This year’s heavy spring and summer rains in Australia have set the stage for a rust infestation that could devastate grain farmers there. In India, plant pathologists at the Punjab Agricultural University are already observing yellow rust in crops in submountainous areas.

As well, a new rust strain has been uncovered in South Africa and, in Kenya, Ug99 is devastating wheat fields.

Hamelin and Bakkeren are working with a network of collaborators including corporations, government laboratories, a genome sequencing facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and several U.S. Department of Agri-cutlure Agricultural Research Services laboratories.

Wheat board optimistic | Pool Return Outlook says latest price drop based partly on African unrest

BY D’ARCE MCMILLAN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Recent setbacks in wheat futures have more to do with political uncertainty than fundamentals, said the Canadian Wheat Board in its February Pool Return Outlook.

The board also said that while malting barley markets are now sluggish, year-end stocks will be down and there is potential for sharply higher new crop prices if there are production problems again this coming growing season.

Spring wheat prices on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange fell about 12 percent Feb. 14-24.

“The market pullback is partly in response to the Libyan situation, which in reality does not materially change the grain fundamentals facing the market as we move through the second half of the crop year,” the board said in comments accompanying the PRO. As temperatures rise in March on the southern U.S. plains, attention will turn to the precarious state of the winter wheat crop, the board said.

Early estimates had called for more than one billion bushels of hard red winter wheat, but the board said that

has been reduced by 20 percent to slightly more than 800 million bu.

That will support prices, but the United States will still have a sizable wheat carry-in to the new crop year, mitigating the bullish effect of the winter wheat problems.

However, the market remains well supported by corn, which is characterized by tight stocks and burgeoning demand, the board said.

Durum prices are affected by unrest in North Africa, a key source of international demand, but world stocks will be down at the end of this crop year.

Spring wheat and durum production in the northern U.S. might be squeezed by increased corn acres.

Malting barley trade has been slow.

China has covered some of its malting needs by buying quality feed barley from Australia. Most buyers will likely try to hold out until the next Northern Hemisphere harvest, when they hope prices will come down.

“The 2011-12 harvest is expected to be met with a lot of pent up demand for malting quality barley, so if there are any production or quality issues that develop with new crop production, prices could spike significantly,” the board said. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Exports of corn to China unlikely ARLINGTON, Va. (Reuters) — China is not likely to import large amounts of corn in the near term unless it has a crop shortfall, said a senior U.S. Department of Agriculture official.

CROP BREEDING | CHINA

China seeks control of seed breeding Focus on rice, corn | The government fears foreign companies that control a large share of the market will eventually raise seed prices BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China says it plans to take steps to gain control of crop breeding in the country.

The nation’s cabinet, called the State Council, said the world’s largest grain producer aims to breed new seeds using China’s own biotechnology and set up large seed-breeding companies by 2020.

Scientists said the move may work against the expansion plans of foreign companies that have taken a large share of China’s corn seed market.

“The country will focus development on hybrid rice and corn, particularly corn, where Pioneer already has a large share of the market and domestic seed firms are failing to compete,” said a Chinese seed breeding scientist.

“The government’s concerns are grain security and how to boost farmers’ incomes, while foreign companies will increase seed prices after they have occupied the market.”

DuPont, which owns Pioneer HiBred, one of the world’s largest agricultural seed companies, sees China as a particular opportunity for expansion.

Its Xianyu variety is widely planted in northeastern and northern China.

Many Chinese seed companies are small and inefficient. As well, the domestic seed industry was hit with scandals in the 1990s when fake seeds were sold and farmers harvested nothing.

Domestic seed companies such as Yuan Longping High-tech Agriculture Co. Ltd., set up by Yuan Longping, the father of China’s first hybrid rice strain, may get more support from Beijing.

Scientists said genetically modified varieties will not be a priority for Beijing for at least five years because of a long approval process and public debate over the safety of GM food. “(Development of ) non-GMO seeds will still play a key role in boosting grain production in the coming five years,” said Huang Dafang, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences’ Biotechnology Research Institute.

“GMO technology is a long-term national strategy and not for this or the next five-year plan,” Huang said.

China approved the use of GM rice and corn in late 2009, opening the door for commercial production as soon as next year.

The government has also agreed to spend $9.5 billion by 2013 to reinforce 21,300 small and mediumsized reservoirs. Another 25,000 reservoirs would be repaired before 2015.

The spending plan is part of the country’s efforts to combat increasingly frequent natural disasters such as floods and drought.

A majority of the nation’s existing reservoirs have had problems in recent decades that have severely affected flood-control efforts.

CATTLE | BUYING AND SELLING

U.S. producers, dealers want livestock sale rule changes Stockyards failing | Many cattle groups call for more audits, better payment methods and additional bond coverage

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

DENVER, Colo. — Livestock dealers and producers say it is time to change the way cattle are bought and sold in the United States, following the collapse of an Indiana dealer.

The Federal Grain Inspection and Packers Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) has been investigating Eastern Livestock Co. since November and estimates it owes $130 million to 743 sellers in 30 states.

The company was charged with failure to pay for livestock purchases, failure to pay in a timely manner and failure to maintain an adequate bond.

A livestock marketing committee that met during the recent National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention in Denver talked about the need for more audits, improved methods of payment and a new bonding structure to protect sellers when auction markets and dealers fail.

GIPSA requires licensing and bonding of livestock dealers but does not define how large a bond should be, said Van Dewey of Rabo Agrifinance.

“The bonds obtained by livestock dealers are often five percent of the livestock transactions they do annually,” he said.

Eastern conducted $2 billion in purchases a year but its $875,000 bond covered only 12 percent of one day’s purchases.

“Eastern was trading more than four million cattle in one day,” said Kansas attorney Allie Devine.

Millions of cattle trade each day and a handshake is not good enough, she added. When a company fails, auditors often discover there is no paper trail of contracts, invoices or standardized business forms.

“There is nothing wrong with paper. Use of paper becomes all important when you have to recreate a transaction that has gone bad.”

Devine said six stockyards failed in the last 10 years and creditors were paid 40 cents on the dollar. Thirteen livestock dealers failed in the same period and 18 cents on the dollar was paid.

Prompt payment within 48 hours should be expected, said Steve Owens, owner of Joplin Regional Stockyards at Joplin, Missouri, which deals in 450,000 cattle per year.

Modern technology and electronic money transfers means there is no longer a reason to wait for 10 days for a cheque to clear, he added.

“It is critical for the industry to change the way cattle are paid for.”

Dewey said sellers should ask for electronic transfer or a certified cheque before cattle are loaded on the truck. If the buyer refuses, they should ask why.

“Assume there is no ironclad assurance you will get paid,” he said.

In Canada, provincial agriculture departments administer legislation that governs the bonding of licensing of livestock dealers.

Alberta recently passed the Livestock Identification and Commerce Act. It is administered by Livestock Identification Services, which handles brand inspections for cattle and horses.

LIS manager Dave Moss said the new act allows for better monitoring access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

and auditing of companies.

The agency also manages the livestock assurance fund set up in 1994.

Five cents from every transaction is directed to the fund on a voluntary basis to provide 80 percent protection when non-payment occurs.

Few claims have been made on the $8 million fund.

“The (U.S.) livestock marketing association has been calling us, getting more details about that fund and wondering if they should create a transactional insurance program,” Moss said.

Like most jurisdictions, Alberta requires payment within two business days and dealers are audited at random every year.

“We’re in good shape, but we are not naïve. Anybody who wants to do something fraudulent, no legislation is going to stop them,” Moss said.

“It is just how much damage can they inflict before they get caught.”

Many companies direct wire money to ensure prompt payment and guarantee the cash exists.

Saskatchewan livestock dealers are governed under the Animal Products Act, which requires they be licensed and bonded.

The minimum coverage is $25,000 and can reach as high as $250,000,

depending on how many head are handled each year.

Dealers are audited regularly to renew licenses.

In British Columbia, the agriculture ministry licenses auctioneers, livestock dealers, hide dealers, public sale yards and slaughter facilities under its Animal Disease Control Act. The act is currently under review.

B.C. slaughter houses that buy 500 animals or less requires a $10,000 bond, while an establishment dealing in more than 100,000 head requires $400,000 coverage.

A livestock dealer purchasing fewer than 500 head per year carries a $20,000 bond and those dealing in more than 200,000 head must have a $250,000 bond.

Manitoba’s agriculture department licenses livestock dealers and agents.

Individual order buyers and auction marts must have a dealer’s license. Abattoirs that are not exclusively custom slaughtering should have a dealer’s license.

Bond coverage is determined by livestock volume sold on an annual basis. If a default occurs, sellers may claim against the dealer’s bond to recover full or partial value of the livestock.

Many cattle producers and dealers in the United States want to bring in more regulations to better protect buyers and sellers of livestock. | FILE PHOTO

LIVESTOCK | VACCINATE WILDLIFE

Wildlife vaccines sought Wildlife cause disease and abortions in domestic livestock

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

DENVER, Colo. — Finding effective ways to vaccinate wildlife could curb diseases such as brucellosis and tuberculosis in domestic animals.

“A lot of the brucellosis we have in the United States comes from wildlife,” said Eileen Thacker, national program leader of animal health at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service.

The ARS has a $31.7 million animal health budget and is working to combat disease in livestock and wildlife with new vaccinations, she told a meeting on emerging diseases at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention held in Denver Feb. 2-5.

Brucellosis can cause abortions in cattle, bison, elk and feral swine.

Bison and elk carry brucella abortus and feral swine have brucella suis.

Bovine vaccines work on bison, but researchers need to find a way to deliver it to wild populations. Dart guns carrying the vaccine RB51 have been used on bison at Yellowstone National Park.

Elk can infect cattle, but the bovine

vaccine does not work on them.

Researchers are also looking for a vaccine against brucella suis in the feral swine of the southern United States.

“We have found the pigs will pass it onto cattle herds. Vaccinating your cows now will not protect them from the feral swine.”

Wildlife appears to be a disease reservoir for the low incidence of tuberculosis in the U.S, especially in Michigan and Minnesota.

“We are also looking at strategies to control it in white tail deer populations,” she said.

Other research includes vaccines for Johne’s and bovine viral diseases.

Researchers are also studying foreign animal diseases and potential vaccines.

A vaccine for foot-and-mouth disease is needed that can be differentiated from the antibodies created by the actual disease.

Studies are also ongoing into the vectors that carry exotic bluetongue and Rift Valley fever.

These tick borne diseases have not been found in the U.S., but scientists need to know if the viruses and ticks can survive the American climate and live to spread the diseases. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

wheat prices.

It was aimed at ensuring domestic supplies and restraining inflation after a drought cut the grain crop by more than a third.

Russian officials have said extending the ban will depend on this year’s harvest.

The forecast is for 85 million tonnes, which should provide a small exportable surplus after domestic consumption and restocking.

However, the head of a grower’s union said the forecast depended on access to financing for spring seeding.

The state agricultural bank slashed collateral needs in late February for farmers with little to pledge after the drought.

Russia began intervention tenders of milling and feed grain last month to fight rising prices, but it may suspend milling grain sales as it monitors market developments.

Inflation has surged to 2.9 percent this year, compared to 2.1 percent in the same period last year.

Milling grain prices have cooled slightly but concerns are mounting about feed grain prices, which have soared following last summer’s devastating drought, causing farmers in some regions to slaughter much of their livestock.

Russia could sell feed grain from inter vention stocks at the purchase price, which is about half the market rate, while pausing intervention sales of milling grain, Zubkov said.

“Milling grain can continue to be sold at auction, but perhaps it can be suspended for an indefinite period in order to take another look at market prices,” Zubkov told president Dmitry Medvedev according to a transcript of the meeting posted on the Kremlin’s website.

Medvedev had earlier said grain tenders might be suspended, citing corruption concerns.

The government plans to sell 2.5 million tonnes of grain at intervention tenders in the first half of this year.

At recent intervention tenders, the price range for feed barley has exceeded the range for milling wheat.

NEWS FILM ON THE PRAIRIES | FERRETS

Rare black-footed ferret in spotlight Wild ferrets on screen | Filmmaker documents return to Grassland National Park

BY CALVIN DANIELS FREELANCE WRITER

The black-footed ferret was listed as extinct in Saskatchewan in 1930 but was re-introduced. | GRASSLANDS NATIONAL PARK PHOTO

Kenton Vaughan moved away from Saskatchewan more than 20 years ago, but said he’s always wanted to return to shoot a film in his home province.

“I had been looking for a number of years to make a film in Saskatchewan because that is where I’m from,” said the filmmaker who has travelled the world shooting films, including a documentary on bonobo apes in the Republic of Congo in Africa.

That filmThe Ghosts of Lomako, appeared on the Nature of Things in

October 2003.

Vaughan said his search took a more earnest approach in spring 2009 when he was looking for a new project. A friend suggested a visit to the Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan.

“I’d always been looking for a reason to go there,” said Vaughan, who added he began sniffing around for a story idea that might tie back to the reintroduction of the bison to the native prairie in 2005.

But instead, Vaughn, who grew up in the Saltcoats area before moving to Ontario in 1987, found something different. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Plans were underway to reintroduce the black-footed ferret to the park.

“I had no idea they were North America’s only ferret…. I had no idea they were once thought to be extinct,” he said.

It didn’t take long for Vaughan to realize there was a compelling story to be told by following the reintroduction of the ferret, and he agreed to do a film. Then he said he realized exactly what he was up against technically in making the film.

“I realized I had agreed to make a film about nocturnal animals that live in holes,” he said.

Shooting the film proved a challenge, which was overcome with new technology including light amplification gear, which enhanced what natural light was available on night shoots.

A tight timeframe for production compounded the challenge.

In most instances, it takes months to put together a financing package for a documentary, but Vaughan didn’t have that kind of time. He pitched the idea to the Nature of Things.

“They approved the project without me doing all the research, or figuring out how we were going to do it.”

Within a few months of being told of the ferret program, Vaughan was at Grasslands Park shooting film. He said they took their first footage in October 2009, and shot periodically over the next year.

“We shot every season,” he said, adding the final segment was done in September 2010 as they released the second batch of ferrets.

Vaughan said they had little idea what they would be catching on film, adding there is relatively little known about the black-footed ferret in the wild. In Saskatchewan the blackfooted ferret was listed as locally extinct in 1930s.

Then in the 1980s a ranch dog in Wyoming brought one in, said Vaughan, which led to the discovery of an isolated wild population.

“It was a second chance to save them,” he said.

However, fate seemed against the ferret as canine distemper and sylvatic plague decimated the Wyoming colony.

Naturalists stepped in and trapped the last 18 wild ferrets, and began a captive breeding program.

“When there was only 18, they were probably the rarest animal in the world,” said Vaughn.

While captive breeding proved a major challenge, it worked.

“It doesn’t breed easily in captivity.

It’s really, really complicated,” said Vaughan. “… Today there are several breeding centres across the United States and at the Toronto Zoo, the only Canadian location. The combined effort has led to releases back to the wild in numerous locations, including the Grasslands Park.

“There’s now probably about 1,000 in the wild,” said Vaughan.

While the black-footed ferret is a cute critter, cute can’t carry an hourlong documentary film, he said.

“That was one of the challenges when doing the edit, deciding what we wanted to say.”

Vaughan said that as human beings “we shouldn’t let species go extinct on our watch.”

EUROPEAN UNION | GM APPROVAL

EU approval of trace GM content seen likely Would affect feed only | The European Commission says the 0.1 threshold will help secure grain imports BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — A European Union committee has voted to allow traces of unapproved genetically modified material in animal feed imports, the European Commission said, in a bid to secure grain supplies to the import-dependent bloc.

EU governments now have three months to either approve or reject the committee’s decision, before the rules can be adopted by the EU executive as law.

“In all likelihood the measure will be adopted by member states and EU parliamentarians, even if we expect a lively debate in the European Parlia-

ment,” one EU diplomat involved in the negotiations said.

The commission, industry and exporting countries argue the 0.1 percent threshold is needed to avoid a repeat of supply disruptions in 2009, when U.S. soybean shipments to Europe were blocked after tiny quantities of unapproved GM material were found in some cargoes.

The EU imported more than 51 million tonnes of animal feed last year, worth almost $20.5 billion Cdn, according to commission statistics.

Green groups accused the EU executive of caving in to GM-industry lobbying by reversing its “zero-toler-

ance” policy on unauthorized crops.

They said the move was an unnecessary solution to a problem that does not exist.

“Weakening safety rules to appease the animal feed industry compromises human and environmental safety,” said Friends of the Earth food campaigner Mute Schimpf.

But the head of EU feedmakers’ association Fefac, Patrick Vanden Avenne, said the decision would “safeguard vital supplies of new crop protein feeds from South America to our EU livestock industry”.

It’s believed that once the rules were made more strict, the EU com-

German dioxin danger passed: EU HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — European Union health experts said Feb. 23 that they see no more danger from an alert in Germany concerning the toxic chemical dioxin found in animal feed, meat and eggs.

An EU health alert started on Jan. 3 when German officials said animal feed tainted with poisonous dioxin had been fed to hens and pigs, contaminating eggs, poultry and pork at the affected farms.

About 4,760 German farms were sealed off at the height of the alert but the number has now been cut to 49.

WORLD CROPS

Rain, low prices cut corn estimates JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) — South Africa is expected to reap its lowest corn output in four years after lower prices last year discouraged farmers from seeding and heavy rains this year damaged plantings, the government said.

Africa’s biggest corn producer would harvest 11.044 million tonnes of the staple in the current 2010-11 season, compared with the 12.815 million tonnes harvested in the previous season.

The forecast by the Crop Estimates Committee are lower than a traders’ estimate of 11.53 million tonnes, according to a survey conducted by Reuters News Agency.

FOOT AND MOUTH AFTERMATH

South Korea animal feed imports to fall SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) — Cow, pig and chicken slaughter to contain South Korea’s worst foot-and-mouth outbreak and combat avian flu will cut feed grain imports, mainly corn and wheat, by at least 1.3 million tonnes this year, a top Korea Feed Association official said.

Weakening feed demand along with record high grain prices are likely to subdue buying activities of South Korean feed makers.

Feed demand was seen dropping by at least 14 percent from last year’s 17.5 million tonnes due to the recent livestock cull, resulting in a sharp drop in feed grain imports. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

MALTING BARLEY | BEER MAKING

Industry examines who’s to blame for beer gone bad Premature yeast flocculation | Maltsters were often blamed in the past but fungal infected barley could also be the culprit

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Fungal infected barley was found to cause premature flocking, a clumping of yeast cells before brewing is complete, which affects the beer’s flavour. | FILE PHOTO ment, grain sources, carbon dioxide levels and water supplies.

Many of the problems seemed to be linked to mechanical problems with inconsistent water temperatures and poor ventilation in the steep rooms. In some cases, pipes in the plant were dirty.

“Look again and ask the maltster, ‘what did you do different when you

were dealing with this malt crop problem,’ ” he said.

“It is as simple as making sure grain is ventilated at critical times and C02 is not allowed to accumulate.”

The study also found 79 percent of these incidents happened during warm weather in the United States, but there was a situation in Canada in January where germination control

temperatures were not correct.

Anheuser-Busch has since developed a 16-point checklist for malt house steep rooms and 12 germination requirements.

a specific micro-organism but doubts it is the main factor because his company buy grain from around the world.

There are plenty of theories about what makes yeast behave badly during the beer making process, but none have precisely pinned down the problem.

Farmers, maltsters and brewers gathered at the recent Western Barley Growers Association annual meeting to talk about the syndrome, known as premature yeast flocculation.

Alexander Spears, a brewing scientist from the University of Dalhousie, worked with researchers from the University of Saskatchewan to assess whether fungus in the grain is responsible.

He said the malt may contain a factor that somehow damages the yeast and stops it from fermenting. The yeast cells cluster together too soon and sink before brewing is completed.

“We don’t quite know why this happens,” said Spears.

“One of the things that affects fermentability is how fast that yeast settles. If it stays a long time, you may have some problems.”

The flavour of the beer could be affected or it might veer so far off specifications it has to be thrown away.

Spears’s lab malted and brewed fungal infected barley from the U of S and found premature flocking.

“The maltsters usually get blamed for everything by the brewers, so this message is that the maltsters can now blame you,” he told barley growers.

Spears suggested the fungi could also appear in the malt plant.

Dirk Bendiak, quality service manager at Molson Coors, said reliable tests are needed before the malting and brewing process starts.

“When I see malt that is kind of grey and dingy, that is my first indicator something isn’t exactly right,” he said.

He also knows premature flocculation is likely when the malt barley crop is poor.

“When I see a crappy crop, I have a guess I am going to face some headaches,” he said.

The poor malt crops of 2002 and 2004 produced yeast that would not convert starches to sugars properly.

The 2010 crop is similar.

“Will the consumer see a huge difference? Probably not, but each year the beer might be different,” Bendiak said. “Every year is different in wine and perhaps we should take advantage of it.”

Joe Hertich of Anheuser-Busch Inc. said the syndrome could be crop related, but he said studies suggest procedures in the malt house may be responsible.

A six-year project investigated the problem in 22 malt plants with 32 malting units using barley from six growing regions. The study tested two-row malt blends against six-row barley varieties and checked equip-

NDP pitches party as farmer friendly

Exporters welcome trade talks with Japan

On family farmer’s side | NDP MP says Conservatives take their rural supporters for granted BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

New Democrat MP Carol Hughes told the Canadian Federation of Agriculture last week that the NDP is the party that defends farmer rights in Parliament.

She told the annual CFA convention Feb. 24 that the party tries to promote farmer interests, whether it is defending the Canadian Wheat Board, supporting local agriculture or introducing a private member’s bill that would have required an economic analysis of potential export market harm before new genetically modified varieties are approved.

“New Democrats have a bias,” she said. “We are on the side of the family farmer.”

Hughes, a first-term MP from northern Ontario with little farm policy background, was filling in for NDP leader Jack Layton, who was resting last week on doctor’s orders.

She said the Conservative government, which represents most rural seats in Canada, takes farmers and their support for granted.

We’re not going to tell you how to farm. We are open to discussing refining the platform if it needs to be.

CAROL HUGHES NEW DEMOCRAT MP

“In the past 15 years, farm debt has tripled, we have lost 80,000 Canadian farms and the number of young farmers has gone from 77,000 to 22,000,” she said.

“It is shameful that this government has no plan to ensure Canada has a strong farming community and thereby ensure a healthy and affordable food supply for the future.”

Hughes also said the NDP supports prairie farmers’ complaints that they are being overcharged by the railways on their freight bill.

“Where is that railway costing review we so dearly need?”

When question period arrived, the MP quickly noted that she was not the agriculture critic and likely would

not have all the answers.

CFA delegates were gentle, praising her for appearing but also suggesting that the NDP be broader in its farm policy proposals.

They said the party needs to move beyond its skepticism about genetically modified varieties, support of organic farming, opposition to trade deals that open markets for farm exports and focus on small farms and local production.

“We cannot feed the world only farming organically,” Ontario Federation of Agriculture vice-president Mark Wales told Hughes.

He said the party should rethink its definition of “sustainable agriculture.”

OFA president Bette Jean Crews said the party’s hostility to GM varieties is a problem for many farmers who consider these varieties an important part of their business plans.

Without committing the party or agriculture critic Alex Atamanenko to anything, Hughes said the party was open to working with farmers to tweak party policy.

“We are open to discussing refining the platform if it needs to be.”

While critics like to characterize the NDP as an urban party, Hughes reminded the convention that it is a political offspring of the CCF that was a coalition of farm and labour interests.

And since the 2008 election, the NDP caucus in Ottawa has been onethird rural with rural seats in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

“We have a vigorous rural presence around our table.”

However, for several elections the party has been shut out of the rural Prairies that once formed a solid core of the NDP caucus.

As recently as 1988, 10 of the party’s 43 seats in Parliament came from Saskatchewan.

BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Canadian government has agreed to study with Japan the potential benefits of a liberalizing trade deal between the two countries.

It is usually a prelude to formal trade talks.

Exporting sectors, including agricultural lobbies, quickly embraced the idea when it was announced in Ottawa Feb. 23.

The Canadian Meat Council, which represents federally regulated packers eligible to export meat, said Japan is already a major market for Canadian meat. A trade deal would make it better.

Canada exported almost $950 million worth of meat to Japan in 2009: $865 million worth of pork, $58 million worth of beef and more than $20 million worth of horse meat.

The council said there is potential for much more if Japanese protections were negotiated down.

Japan is the world’s third largest economy and the third largest buyer of Canada’s food exports.

“Japan represents one of the best c u s t o m e r s f o r C a n a d a’s m e a t exports,” said council president Brian Read in a statement.

“With a population of almost 128 million people, Japan is the world’s largest net importer of food products.”

Grain Growers of Canada was also quick off the mark, praising the Conservative government for setting the groundwork to launch trade talks with Japan, which is typically protectionist in agricultural trade.

“Japan is well known for paying a premium price for agricultural imports that meet its exacting specif i c at i o n s, “p re s i d e nt St e p h e n Vandervalk said in a statement.

“Canada is well positioned to gain because we have the ability to segregate cereals and oilseeds to capture those premium prices, which means more dollars in farmers’ pockets.”

Vandervalk said all political parties in the House of Commons should “support Canadian farmers by backing free trade negotiations like this.

In addition to exports of raw grain, our domestic agri-food processing sectors will also gain from this trade agreement.”

There will almost certainly be House of Commons opposition from the New Democratic Party and possibly the Bloc Québecois, which will argue that increased imports of Japanese industrial goods could swamp some Canadian companies.

If the Canada-European Union trade negotiations are a guide, the launch of the preliminary assessment of benefits could precede the launch of trade negotiations by at least several years.

Former Liberal deputy prime minister John Manley, now president of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, said that with the “economic centre of gravity” shifting to Asia, it is prudent for Canada to try to secure a firm position through a trade deal. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SATURATED SEEDING | PACKING

Packer plates slither through mud like skis

MUD

Plates beat wheels | ‘We could go when and where other guys couldn’t go,’ says a TechnoTill packer owner

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Al Lowe’s fields were so saturated last spring that water was seeping out of the hillsides and his seeding rig would slide down the side slopes.

“But we kept going. If I could get the tractor through it, the seeding rig would seed and the packer would push it in,” said Lowe, who farms near Meachem, Sask.

“I have really sticky clay here, but I don’t think I plugged more than two runs the whole time.”

Lowe runs Atom Jet openers with TechnoTill packers, which he’s had for seven years, but 2010 was the first time he ran them in extreme mud.

“The packers just slide along in the mud. They didn’t gum up or anything.

“I was sliding sideways on the side hills, but I just kept seeding. I even seeded running downhill sometimes because I couldn’t pull it uphill.”

Lowe said he was still seeding feed barley for his cattle in July. Whenever a 20 or 30 acre spot dried up enough to get into, he went seeding.

“I’m glad we did that because anywhere we had some kind of crop growing, it dried up a lot more in the fall than the unseeded acres.

“We got germination everyplace we pulled the seeder. Of course, the hollows all flooded out from the rain that came later.”

He said his 2010 yield was nothing to brag about, but it was better than no crop at all. His peas averaged 30 bushels and the canola ran 20 to 25 bu. The barley was swath grazed in the fall.

“Most of the neighbours around here with the modern parallel linkage drills couldn’t seed because the packer wheels jammed up with mud.”

Allan Kormos said he’d rather fight drought than moisture.

“Dry prairie conditions are what we’re used to here,” said Kormos of Cardston Alta.

“That’s what we’re equipped for and that’s what all our machinery is designed for. Most of my farm is on heavy land. It’s not quite gumbo, but very heavy, so it’s no fun when we get this much rain.”

Although he managed to seed all of his 2,000 acres last year, subsequent rain either flooded out the low spots or washed away most of the nutrients.

“After seeding was finally finished, we’d get a four inch rain. Then we’d get three inches the next day. This happened over and over. The crop all germinated, but the rain did us in.”

Kormos seeded with a Morris 8900 outfitted with Atom Jet openers and TechnoTill packers. It was his sixth year using the packing plates instead access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

Despite the wet conditions in 2010, farmers with TechnoTill packers were able to seed just about anywhere they could drive a tractor. of wheels.

“We could go when and where other guys couldn’t go. The TechnoTills didn’t even push the mud. They somehow keep themselves clean.”

Kormos said farmers in the area with packing wheels constantly plugged with mud.

“A lot of guys ended up dropping the wheels. The shanks didn’t seem to plug, but the packers jammed up with mud so they stopped turning.

The big mud balls would just skid along.”

He thinks geometry is one of the reasons the packing plates work in the mud. He runs the adjustable plates with the lead edge slightly higher than the back edge.

“The back edge of the plate has more contact with the soil or the mud, so the plate behaves like a ski or a sled.”

Neighbouring farmers who did manage to get their packing wheels working found they had a crusting problem whenever they got a few sunny days.

“For whatever reason, and I don’t understand it, we didn’t experience much crusting at all. Maybe it’s our residue? I don’t know.”

drained land averaged 42 bu., but canola on flat fields ran 15 to 18 bu.

Mike Syroteuk of Burr, Sask., seeded 1,400 of a possible 2,000 acres last year. It was his second year with TechnoTill packing plates on his JD 610 cultivator.

“A lot of guys in our area hardly seeded at all, so I suppose we were lucky,” he said.

“All we would need is a couple sunny days to dry the surface a little bit, and we could just go.”

He said his soil is heavy with a bit of clay and sand.

“We mudded some in into some really sloppy stuff, but that didn’t work too well. Wherever it wasn’t too wet, we got good germination.

But even in those spots, we had a lot of disease problems because of all

Syroteuk said his barley yielded 15 to 50 bu. per acre, while canola and wheat were around 20 bu.

TechnoTill boss Betty Schoenhofer said there are four reasons why mud doesn’t jam up on packing plates: • the metal compound is a form of chrome plus nickel alloy, so it has a smooth surface; • only a thin layer of soil is packed

over the seed row; • the packer plate is under pressure, so mud doesn’t have much opportunity to build up; • air seeders tend to be lighter than drills, so there’s less weight to drag through the mud.

PULLING SAFETY | ROPE, CHAIN OR CABLE

Poly ropes win for strength, safety

Working in

MUD

Less stretch than nylon | Poly ropes easier to handle than chain or steel

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Tow rope salespeople haven’t exactly been crying in their beer lately, or is that champagne they’re drinking now?

Grant Sroka, also known as the Rope Man, admits business has been good as mud gives farmers an opportunity to replace their worn and unsafe tow lines with new stuff.

The Edmonton-based supplier said farmers are taking advantage of their misfortune to upgrade to the latest rope technology.

“Yes, there actually is a lot of new technology in polymer ropes,” said Sroka. “The main thing we see is that there’s a swing away from cable and chain. Guys are catching on that rope is safer, plus you get that slingshot effect from the elasticity. They still buy steel, but not nearly as much.”

A steel chain or steel cable capable of handling the pulling power of a 600 horsepower tractor is too heavy to work with in the mud. A rope with the equivalent strength is much easier to handle.

A chain or cable that snaps under load transforms into a whipping steel snake that cuts through the air and anything else in its path.

“But when a rope snaps, it makes one heck of a bang when it pops, and it stays at the height it’s pulling at.

There’s no whipping,” he said.

“It usually drops back to three or four feet from the point where it snapped and then just falls to the ground.”

Sroka said new ropes also have braided loops at both ends, which helps avoid dangerous metal hooks.

He said the safest hookup is always a braided loop at both ends of a rope.

The loop can be run through a safety shackle with a screw pin attached to the drawbar or run directly through the drawbar pin.

Sroka said the new polymers are more suitable for tow ropes. Traditional braided nylon round ropes have about a 40 percent stretch factor.

Stretching a rope that much reduces the diameter and its strength.

The new braided round Tuf-Rope brand that Sroka sells stretches only 17 percent.

He said that’s still enough elasticity to get a decent slingshot impact yet maintain the strength of the rope.

The Tuf-Rope is resin coated so it won’t absorb water, mildew or rot. It should be pressure washed after each use and hung in the shop to dry.

Sroka said farmers sometimes overdo it when making purchases.

“Bigger isn’t better in this case.

There’s a lot to consider. To sell you the right rope, I need to know what kind of tractor horsepower rating you’ll be pulling with.

“I always want to match the rope to the tractor. If you’re oversized on the rope, you won’t get the stretch you need for a slingshot. And slingshot is one of the reasons you want rope in the first place.”

He also sells flat nylon sling style tow lines from two to 12 inches that have a 200,000 pound rating and handle anything a 600 h.p. tractor can put out.

“A lot of guys like these straps because they roll up a lot neater than a braided rope, but they only have a seven or eight percent stretch. Not as good as a new polymer braided rope, access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

but still better than steel.”

Sroka said farmers should consider replacing tow ropes within five to 10 years, depending on use. Even ultraviolet resistant polymer ropes should be stored away from direct sunlight.

“But the biggest enemy of any rope is a sharp metal edge, even a small metal edge.”

He said a rope’s integrity is compromised once it is cut, which is why loops with smooth round pins at both ends are essential.

All metal pins and shackles should be checked for burrs or sharp edges before each tow job.

An implement stuck in the mud is usually being held by suction, said

Lawrence Papworth, an engineer with the Alberta Ag Tech Centre.

“You’ve got to break that suction before you can pull the machine out,” he said. “Pulling power alone usually won’t do it. But the snap or slingshot you get from a braided rope is what will break that suction. You don’t get that snap with a chain, and you can get only a small bit of snap with a cable. Rope is best.”

It’s possible to get that snap with chain or cable by taking a run at it with a long enough steel tow line and jerking the implement loose, but that can be a dangerous plan.

Jonathon Cook at Ag World in Kinistino, Sask., said he no longer

The forecast is based on adult grasshopper counts at 1,200 locations. A severe infestation is considered to be 12 to 24 grasshoppers per sq. metre.

However, the survey showed that most of the province can expect zero to two grasshoppers per sq. metre.

Hartley said a spring similar to last year could push the numbers lower,

but a warm, dry spring isn’t likely to result in a population explosion.

“We could see the start of a buildup,” he said, but it would take several years to reach the damaging populations experienced in 2003.

However, crops can be more susceptible in poor growing conditions such as many expect this year.

“You don’t need as many grasshoppers to cause more damage,” Hartley said.

Some crops are more affected than others no matter what the conditions.

For example, lentils are vulnerable to grasshopper damage as soon as they begin flowering and at only two insects per sq. metre.

Flax is vulnerable at the green boll stage.

“We are expecting a generally low risk across the province, but we could see economic (damage) numbers in vulnerable crops,” said Hartley. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

GRAND PRIZE

BY MICHAEL RAINE

TULARE, Calif. — The Case W14 Feedlot Special has toiled for decades on farms and feedlots across North America.

Its replacement has arrived.

The new Commodity King machines share similarities with their predecessors. They are able to handle dust and have a grapple and high volume bucket.

However, the new 21 Series loaders are also easier on the environment and the fuel bill.

The three largest new loaders, 721F, 821F and 921F, are all Tier 4 emissions standard compliant, relying on selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and its urea additive.

They come in 179, 211 and 242 engine horsepower and place the driver on the tail of the articulated loaders.

They are designated F class for their SCR use. Two of the new machines, the 721 and E series 21, are packaged for agricultural applications and are called Commodity King. The latter is without a Tier 4 compliant engine and SCR. “It is also set up to accept joy stick steering. That is getting to be a popular item for ag applications,” said Tom McLaughlin of Case, who debuted the new machines in the middle of North America’s most dairy cow dense municipality, Tulare County in California, during the World Ag Expo farm show.

“We see a lot of dairy farms liking that option.”

The rear axle differentials are open for manoeuvreability on hard surfaces, such as feed loading areas and dairy barns.

“We seal the cooler areas to make sure that air passing through those areas must pass through a screen filter first,” he said.

“That takes out the large particles.

The passages between the cooler fins are at least that big, so they don’t get material in that will get stuck in the cooling system.”

Case is offering a variety of tools for the new loaders, including bale spikes, pallet forks and scaled buckets for measuring feed.

Light material buckets of up to 5.5 sq. yards for the 721F and 4.5 yards for the 621E Commodity Kings are available for handling chop.

BARLEY | EXPANSION PLANS

Barley growers look to promote sector Strategic plan needed | Low production and poor quality issues have squeezed supply

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Barley growers are taking steps to save their industry.

Production has dropped nearly 30 percent in the last 10 years to 6.9 million tonnes, based on Canadian Grain Commission figures.

The Western Barley Growers Association says it wants to renew interest in the crop before the industry disappears.

The association has met with government and barley users in the last year as it drums up financial support for an initiative to save the industry.

Letters of support from every sector of the business have been collected.

Meetings are also planned with the Canadian Wheat Board.

“This whole initiative is not meant to be an attack on the Canadian Wheat Board,” association president Brian Otto said during the barley growers’ recent annual meeting in Calgary.

He said the initiative should identify the weak parts of the industry and find ways to rebuild demand for feed, beer and other food products.

“We have seen things that aren’t working identified, but nobody has ever proposed how you fix it.”

The association is also meeting with federal agriculture minister

Gerry Ritz this month to discuss the strategic plan.

Wheat board president Ian White said the story of diminishing barley supplies and lower quality has been repeated around the world.

“From our point of view, 2010 was the worst quality barley crop ever,” he told the meeting.

A normal year provides 2.4 million tonnes of malting barley, but 1.1 million tonnes are available for sale this year. Maltsters have stretched their supplies as far as possible and customers have substituted barley with wheat malt.

Maltsters require new crop barley as soon as it is available.

A repeat of low production or quality issues in the main growing areas will create further bullishness in the market because international customers are concerned about their ability to obtain supplies.

Most of this year’s small malting barley pool has already been marketed. The board won’t be able to increase the value of the pool because it does not have the malting barley available.

Better barley prices may be offered this year, but White is not sure that is enough incentive to plant more.

“Feed barley prices are forecast to be the highest we have seen in 25 years,” he said.

About 80 percent of the western

Feed barley prices are forecast to be the highest we have seen in 25 years.

IAN WHITE

barley crop is used for livestock feed, and production is down around the world.

The western Canadian spot price was more volatile this year. Feeders had alternative grain available such as feed wheat and dried distillers grain from the United States.

The board sold 318,000 tonnes of feed barley in 2010-11, but it was

challenging to keep pace with volatile prices.

“Did we keep pace with the market in terms of the signals? We could have done a better job of that but the market was moving very quickly and had to reflect a price to farmers at a time when the market bounced around by $30 a tonne in a day,” he said.

RE: SIDHU & SONS NURSERY – DEC. 2, 2010 ARTICLE

The Dec. 2, 2010, edition of The Western Producer included an article entitled “B.C. migrants get contract for better working conditions,” which reported on the collective agreement in place at Sidhu & Sons’ Nursery Ltd. for its foreign employees hired pursuant to the Seasonal Agricultural Work Program (SAWP).

CWB PRESIDENT

Clarification

S E R V I C E S

It has been brought to our attention that the United Food and Commercial Workers Union has issued a statement indicating that the Union spokesperson made various inaccurate statements when being interviewed by our reporter. The statement can be viewed in its entirety at www.ufcw1518.com. The Western Producer takes this opportunity to draw readers’ attention to the Union’s clarification. The Union’s statement says that the Union spokesperson was not referring to Sidhu & Sons when she made the comment that “migrant workers who previously spoke up about harsh working and living conditions were often not rehired.”

The Union’s statement also says the Union spokesperson was incorrect when she said that SAWP employees at Sidhu & Sons did not receive two paid 15 minute breaks during an eight hour shift until the collective agreement was in place and that the six percent vacation pay referenced in the collective agreement was not provided by Sidhu & Sons before the collective agreement was in place. Sidhu & Sons says both benefits were already in place.

At the time of publishing our article, we had no reply to our request of Sidhu & Sons for comments. Sidhu & Sons has now issued the following statement which we have agreed to publish: “Sidhu & Sons is a family business established in 1975. We at Sidhu & Sons have always valued our foreign SAWP employees and had established a good working relationship with them well before the organizing or involvement of any union. “ We w e re o n e o f t h e f i r s t employers in British Columbia to hire employees under SAWP and since then we have employed foreign workers to perform the same task as its domestic workers. We have continually ensured that our working and living conditions meet or exceed all applicable legislated employment standards, SAWP requirements, and housing requirements and inspections.

“Our good relationship with our SAWP employees is evident in the fact that the same SAWP employees have chosen to return to work for us year after year. For the 2010 season, 80 percent of the SAWP employees working at Sidhu & Sons have worked for us for four or more seasons.” access=subscriber section=crops,news,mark section=crops,news,markets

MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY when it counts - the 6700 Air Seeder.

The Bourgault 6700ST, 700 bushel Air Seeder, is more than just bigger, it’s better!

• The patented Integral Tank System ensures that the volume is utilized efficiently, regardless of the product combination. Quickly configure the 6700ST for more crop options!

• The 30 bu. 3rd compartment can be diverted into either compartment 2 or 4 and will hold the volume of a mini-bulk bag.

• A wagon-style steering allows the 6700ST to steer almost as tightly as the smaller 6550ST. • The BATCO conveyer will quickly load or unload the seeder at 110 bu/min rates. A wireless remote control is utilized for conveyer positioning, with frame controls as backup.

• The tire configuration is designed to maintain soil compaction below 20 psi, even if the air seeder is full of fertilizer!

LAND STEWARDSHIP ACT | AMENDMENTS

Alta. stewardship act may see changes Amendments to be presented | Landowners up in arms over concerns about potential erosion of land rights

TABER, Alta. — At least 10 amendments will be introduced during Alberta’s upcoming legislative session to clarify language in the province’s Land Stewardship Act. “There is no intent in here whatsoever to inflict damage on anyone’s property rights,” MLA Evan Berger told a Southern Alberta Conservation Association meeting Feb. 23.

The act, which the provincial government passed last year, has been widely criticized for wording that some legal experts say could limit or eliminate property rights in cases where land is needed for utility lines or roads.

Current wording in the land stewardship act could allow a regional plan to extinguish a certificate of title without need to go through processes outlined in the expropriation act, which provides certain protections to landowners.

Berger said that wording is one of the areas that proposed amendments will clarify.

The stewardship act and several other bills have been the topic of meetings across the province, during which concerns were raised about potential erosion of rights depending on interpretation of the bills’ language.

“Now we want to lock it down tight and make sure it works for landowners and works for everybody,” said Berger.

Keith Wilson, a lawyer who regu-

LEONARD MITZEL ALBERTA MLA

larly deals in agricultural and environmental law, was the featured speaker at meetings in the province last month.

He raised concerns about wording in Bill 36, the Land Stewardship Act, as well as bills 19 and 50, the Land Assembly Project Area Act and the Electric Statutes Amendment Act, respectively.

MLA Leonard Mitzel acknowledged Wilson’s criticism.

“I agree with Keith Wilson that yes, you could interpret it this way,” he said in an interview, adding he has heard numerous concerns from constituents, some of whom suggested the bills be rewritten.

“We could throw it out and start over, or take the good pieces that are there and take those amendments and put them in there to clarify things,” Mitzel said.

“Really, this is about clarification.

We call it amendment because that’s what you have to do, you have to amend it to clarify it.”

One questioner at the soil conservation meeting said it appeared MLAs were undertaking damage control as a result of public outcry.

“Damage control? No, what we are doing is clarifying the original intent,” said Mitzel. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ALBERTA | PROVINCIAL BUDGET

Critics see clouds as Alberta gov’t dips into rainy day fund

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Alberta is predicting a $3.4 billion deficit for the upcoming year.

It will be the third consecutive deficit for a province that was once the envy of the country with its vast resource revenue and budget surpluses.

Provincial finance minister Lloyd Snelgrove said the deficit is a result of the government’s decision to go ahead with previous commitments to build hospitals, schools, roads and infrastructure programs.

“Albertans told us last year and the year before, they don’t want to go back into the pendulum days when we over spent and over cut,” Snelgrove said when he delivered the 2011-2012 budget Feb. 24.

“We could have made cuts that some critics were calling for, cuts that would have been damaging to core programs or infrastructure plans, but that would be short sighted. We didn’t panic during the darkest days of the recession and we’re not going to panic now,” he told a pre-budget

news conference.

One of the critics calling for cuts is Wildrose Alliance party leader Danielle Smith, who said the government should have stretched out its infrastructure spending over five years rather than three to help contain infrastructure spending.

“They’re practically vapourizing our savings accounts,” said Smith, who does not have a seat in the Alberta legislature.

“You can’t just keep on hoping that revenue increases are going to bail you out of this problem.”

The government is not making big spending cuts. Instead, spending will be $39 billion, a half percent increase over last year.

The government will cover the budget shortfall by drawing down the Sustainability Fund to $5.2 billion from $11 billion.

The decision to drain the province’s rainy day fund to pay for infrastructure projects and cover spending is worrying critics.

Liberal leader David Swann said the government didn’t make the tough choices needed to not continue spiraling into deeper debt.

“The Conservatives continue to act like they have an endless supply of Monopoly money,” said Swann, who has announced he will retire as provincial Liberal leader.

Alberta NDP leader Brian Mason was also concerned about the government’s use of the Sustainability Fund to offset the deficit.

“By draining the Sustainability Fund, they’ve managed to keep themselves together, but next year is going to be a very, very serious problem.”

Premier Ed Stelmach had initially planned to have Alberta back to a balanced budget by 2012, but that has been pushed back to 2013.

Snelgrove said it’s only becoming apparent now how big an impact the economic downturn had on the Alberta economy.

The province is only just recovering, he added.Revenue is expected to increase $1.6 billion to $35.6 billion in 2011-12.

Snelgrove said in past years, much of Alberta’s revenue came from oil and natural gas. Now, the government is counting on the royalties from the oilsands’ bitumen, expect

Alberta finance minister Lloyd Snelgrove presented a $3.4 billion deficit budget, saying the government will act on its commitments to infrastructure projects. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO ed to reach $7 billion in three years.

“Most of us knew the potential of the oilsands,” said Snelgrove.

Agriculture remained unscathed with a budget of slightly less than $1 billion.

Agriculture minister Jack Hayden said most of his department’s budget is tied into long-term programs with the federal government or long-term provincial government programs.

“Most of the programs have a fairly

long life span,” said Hayden.

It’s the long-term nature of the agriculture programs that helped “safeguard all of the programs to producers,” he added.

Humphrey Banack, president of Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, said he was pleased by the lack of major cuts to agriculture.

“We are, as much as other producers in the province, concerned with a deficit budget.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

MARKETING | PORK PROMOTION

FARM INCOME | HOG SECTOR

Canadian brand equals local: marketer Push out imports | Marketing expert says consumers should be able to recognize Canadian products

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian consumers want to eat Canadian pork but producer organizations need to forget futile local campaigns if they want to get more of the consumer loonie, says a leader of a national pork promotion organization.

“The truth is that provincial marketing efforts are floundering and don’t work,” said Curtiss Littlejohn, an Ontario farmer, about Pork Marketing Canada’s effort to replace imported pork in Canadian stores.

“They are feel-good campaigns … for producers. They make you feel good because you see your product being promoted in your market, in your local arena, in your local grocery store.

“The truth of the matter is that we need the Canadian consumer to recognize a Canadian product, and if they don’t see a Canadian product, (they will) go down to the butcher, ring the bell and say: ‘Where is the Canadian product?’”

Canada is a giant world exporter of pork but it also imports much pork from the United States.

The truth is that provincial marketing efforts are floundering and don’t work.

CURTISS LITTLEJOHN PORK MARKETING CANADA

National pork promoter Curtiss Littlejohn told producers at the Manitoba Swine Seminar that grocery store chains and consumers want to buy local pork, but they see “Canadian” as local. | ED WHITE PHOTO The various pork cuts imported into Canada each week equal about 40,000 pigs, which is the production of a typical full-size hog slaughter plant.

That’s a big loss of sales to Canadian producers, Littlejohn said.

Pork Marketing Canada, a new agency formed to push domestic Canadian pork sales, wants all gro-

cers to be selling Canadian pork and advertising a Canada brand on the meat.

Many producers have been furious at Costco because its fresh pork generally comes from the United States but Littlejohn said that’s about to change.

“That’s been four years in the works,” said Littlejohn.

He said the local food movement is good for the potential of Canadian pork sales but producers might have to expand their definition of local.

National chains like Sobey’s, Loblaws/Superstore, Wal-Mart and Costco see “Canadian as a local brand, so that’s why producers need to support the national branding campaign,” Littlejohn said.

“They are all looking at a Canadianbranded product.”

CATTLE | SASKATCHEWAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

Young farmer eager to give views at SCA New perspective | The District 9A board member raises livestock and has an off-farm job

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MEDSTEAD, Sask. — Ryan Sommerfeld knows he has a lot to learn about cattle politics and policy.

But the 29-year-old, who with his wife, Michelle, and his parents, Ray and Pauline, raises 220 cow-calf pairs north of Medstead, Sask., said he is up to the challenge.

Sommerfeld was appointed by the board of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association to fill the vacancy in District 9A after no one stepped forward to run in last fall’s election.

“I think it’s a pretty good opportunity to kind of make a difference,” he said. “I’m younger and maybe bring a different perspective.”

He experienced the difficulty that all cattle producers have faced since BSE. The difference between him and many others is that he was just getting started and the conditions made it hard to expand.

“It’s been a very big struggle,” he said.

Sommerfeld returned to join the family Gelbvieh operation in 2001.

He said raising cattle is in his blood and the plan is to take over from his parents at some point.

The family turned to Gelbviehs about 10 years ago, preferring the maternal traits and moderate size.

Calving began Jan. 26.

About 80 percent of the cows are purebreds and the Sommerfelds sell between 20 and 25 bulls each year.

They retain about 40 heifers.

He works at the Spiritwood Stockyards and helps a neighbour with harvest to help make ends meet. Last year, he also worked with the Cana-

dian Cattle Identification Agency scanning project.

He said it is an exciting time to be in the cattle business.

“It seems like there is a lot of optimism right now,” he said.

Prices have been good and trade deals are opening some doors.

The addition of the SCA to the pro-

vincial scene is also positive.

“A lot of producers will be unhappy and won’t say anything,” he said.

“This empowers small producers to have a little stronger voice.”

Sommerfeld isn’t afraid to speak his mind and hopes to raise the profile of the SCA in his district and around the province.

Hog leader says sector in rebound, not recovery Statistics Canada numbers based on bad years BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadian Pork Council president Jurgen Preugschas thinks a new Statistics Canada report needs some perspective.

The agency published 2010 farm cash receipts numbers Feb. 23 that suggested the hog industry was the farm economy’s bright spot, boasting a 15.7 percent increase in sales to $3.3 billion because prices rose almost 20 percent to their highest level since 2005.

Realized net income figures that account for expenses and depreciation will not be available from Statistics Canada until late May. They will offer a better bottom line picture of the industry last year.

Preugschas said the optimistic gross receipts numbers have to be carefully parsed.

“We are coming off so many bad years that a high percentage increase is calculated on the very low base,” he said. “I would not say last year was the boom year those numbers would suggest.”

He said it was a year when 500 producers, close to six percent of the industry, left the business.

For his farm near Mayerthorpe, Alta., 2010 was the fourth consecutive year of losses.

“Things picked up in the last quarter, but we still ended the year in a loss position.”

The Statistics Canada report also noted that while cash receipts increased dramatically, hog marketings fell three percent to their lowest level since 2002.

A government sow herd buyout, the strong Canadian dollar and the impact of country-of-origin labelling in the United States conspired to reduce sales and exports.

“There are some signs that the industry is rebounding, but I think it’s way too early to tell if we are climbing out of the hole,” Preugschas said while attending the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting in Ottawa.

“Those numbers don’t necessarily reflect a rebound.”

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz agreed.

He told reporters after a speech to the CFA that the hog industry is a cyclical industry, in and out of the trough.

“Lately, they’ve been sort of under the trough,” he said. “A little rebound does not a recovery make. We saw that with our (national) economic recovery, we recognize that with the pork sector. We’re going to work with them to make it stronger.”

Ritz said there are positive signs for the industry after years of losses and tough times.

“We look with positive feelings towards where they’re going,” he said. “We certainly look at record exports in 2010. We look at markets like Korea that are coming on board, Russia and so on that are picking up a lot more pork products.” access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

WEATHER | GLOBAL ECONOMY

Crops, global economy face weather challenges Drought, floods, storms more intense | Farmers will need crop varieties that can withstand harsh conditions SINGAPORE (Reuters) — Witnesses to Cyclone Yasi’s destructive tear across northeastern Australia described it as a monster for its size and ferocity.

It was also an omen.

Climate scientists say global warming is heating up the world’s oceans and atmosphere, providing more fuel for tropical cyclones and creating ever greater risks for crops, miners and billion-dollar beachfronts.

The risks from stronger storms strike right through the heart of the global economy, affecting food security and inflation, iron ore and coal production and higher insurance losses.

Particularly vulnerable are Asia’s booming coastal megacities from Manila to Karachi, large areas of the U.S. around the Gulf of Mexico and the east coast, Australia’s iron ore and northern coal mines and tropical Asia’s rice-growing river deltas.

Insurers say unrelenting development along coastlines is placing more homes, businesses and infrastructure in the path of destruction that will drive up insurance losses.

United Nations data says the number of people living in cities in Asia is expected to grow to more than three billion in 2050 from 231 million in 1950.

Climate change and stronger storms are also a growing threat to Asia’s rice crop. Asia grows 90 percent of the world’s rice, and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) estimates an additional eight to 10 million tonnes of rice needs to be produced each year.

This means that disruption from droughts, floods and storms can hurt supplies and cause price spikes.

A major climate study in 2010 based on the results of a range of computer models concluded there was likely to be a substantial increase in the number of storms in the severe category range of three to five, with five being the maximum.

Overall, storms would be two to 11 percent more intense by 2100 and rainfall would increase 20 percent near the centre, it predicted.

“Since the early 1990s, we have seen a significant increase in the number

of hurricanes in the Atlantic,” said Peter Hoeppe of Munich Re, pointing to a natural cycle in which hurricane numbers vary over several decades.

“We think now we have a mixture of two phenomena, one is the natural oscillation and the other is the steady increase in sea surface temperatures due to global warming. And this adds up to increased risks.”

Although the study also found there might be a drop in the number of storms in the Pacific Ocean and around Australia, the storms that did form would tend to be more dangerous.

Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005 highlighted that risk, as did Hurricane Andrew that struck

Florida in 1992.

According to the U.S. National Hurricane Center, Katrina killed 1,500 people and caused $81 billion in damage while Andrew caused $26.5 billion in losses, not adjusted for inflation.

In Asia, there was a danger in assuming nothing needs to be done if storm numbers don’t increase, said climate scientist Johnny Chan, one of the authors of the 2010 review.

“It is a grim picture. Even if the number of storms is not increasing, the amount of rain that comes out of these storms is increasing,” said Chan, director of the Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre at the City University of Hong Kong.

Fellow climate scientist John McBride said there was little doubt storms would become stronger as seas warm.

Oceans soak up much of the excess heat and carbon dioxide caused by burning fossil fuels, and the oceans have already warmed on average about 0.5 C. “You should expect a shift towards more intense cyclones. That’s coming across as a stronger prediction,” said McBride of the Centre for Aust r a l i a n We a t h e r a n d C l i m a t e Research.

The World Bank says typhoons Ketsana and Parma caused damage and losses to crops, property and infrastructure worth $4.4 billion in the Philippines in 2009, or 2.7 percent of gross domestic product. Storms led to the loss of 1.3 million tonnes of rice paddy, forcing the country to import.

A year later, Typhoon Megi, a maximum category 5 storm, killed 26 people in the Philippines and caused rice crop losses of more than 520,000 tonnes.

Tropical Asia’s vast river deltas are also at risk from flooding and powerful storm surges from cyclones.

Cyclone Nargis, which ripped

through the Irrawaddy Delta in Myanmar in 2008, killed or left missing 140,000 people and triggered a 2.5 metre storm surge that inundated much of the delta, wiping out a third of the rice crop.

Reiner Wassmann, IRRI’s co-ordinator of climate change research, said new varieties of rice that were flood and salt water tolerant would help reduce losses from storms. Fastergrowing varieties could also help farmers avoid the typhoon season.

Australia’s $2 billion sugar cane crop is particularly vulnerable to more powerful storms.

Floods over the past several months caused losses of $500 million, said Steve Greenwood, chief executive officer of Queensland’s Canegrowers Association.

Cyclone Yasi, a large category 5 storm, caused further losses of up to a quarter of the remaining crop.

While Greenwood said there was little farmers could do faced with 250 km/h winds that smashed cane stems, new varieties could at least reduce losses from flooding.

Hoeppe expected insurance losses to rise, partly because of greater risks to mines. Australia is the world’s top iron ore exporter and also a top thermal and coking coal producer.

Climate change was already pMunich Re says weather related natural catastrophes have tripled in the past 30 years in Australia.

RESEARCH | GLYPHOSATE

Weeds gain Scientist warns of possible new glyphosate danger strength as earth warms Carbon dioxide acts as feed for grassy weeds

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Global warming will create tougher weeds that require higher rates of herbicide to kill, according to a new study.

Published in the latest issue of Weed Science, the study shows that carbon dioxide acts as a fertilizer to grassy weeds, creating stronger plants that are more resistant to glyphosate, the world’s most popular herbicide.

Carbon dioxide levels have increased from a preindustrial era concentration of 280 parts per million to 379 ppm in 2005. Scientists expect those levels to further double by 2100.

Michelle Leishman, associate professor with the department of biological sciences at Australia’s Macquarie University, examined the effects of elevated carbon dioxide levels on four species of grass.

The plants were grown in greenhouse experiments under today’s carbon dioxide levels of 380 to 420 ppm and elevated conditions of 675 to 715 ppm. They were then sprayed with glyphosate.

Leishman discovered a significantly higher survival rate for plants grown under the elevated carbon dioxide conditions. “ T h e i n c re a s e d t o l e ra n c e t o glyphosate that we found is most likely to be due to increased biomass growth of plants under elevated carbon dioxide conditions,” she said in an e-mail.

“A larger amount of foliage simply m e a n s t hat m o re h e r b i c i d e i s required.”

The three grass species that showed significantly higher survival rates under the elevated carbon dioxide conditions produced 39 to 83 percent more biomass and 24 to 67 percent more leaf area than the same plants grown under ambient conditions.

The only species that didn’t have a significantly higher survival rate experienced a five percent decrease in biomass and a 34 percent decline in leaf area.

The study concluded that the larger amount of biomass and leaf area was diluting the glyphosate in the weeds and rendering the herbicide less effective. The results are consistent with previous studies.

“This suggests that increasing atmospheric concentrations of carb o n d i ox i d e m i g ht re q u i re a n increase in application rates of glyphosate, which could have significant economic and environmental consequences,” said the paper.

In other words, global warming means farmers are going to be paying more for weed control and causing further harm to the environment by increasing the risk of water contamination. “ We h o p e t h a t o u r r e s e a r c h prompts herbicide producers to undertake more research into applications rates required under the many aspects of climate change,” said Leishman. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) — Qu e s t i o n s a b o u t t h e s a f e t y o f glyphosate have resurfaced in a warning from a U.S. scientist that claims it may contribute to plant disease and health problems for farm animals.

Plant pathologist and retired Purdue University professor Don Huber wrote a letter to U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack in January warning that a newly discovered and widespread “electron microscopic pathogen appears to significantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings.”

He said the pathogen appears to be connected to use of glyphosate.

Monsanto, which makes the largest selling glyphosate-based chemical, Roundup, scoffed at the allegations.

It said its own research as well as independent field studies and tests by multiple U.S. universities do not corroborate Huber’s claims.

“Monsanto is not aware of any reliable studies that demonstrate Roundup Ready crops are more susceptible to certain diseases or that the application of glyphosate to Roundup Ready crops increases a plant’s susceptibility to diseases,” the company said in a written statement.

Huber co-ordinates a committee of the American Phytopathological Society as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Plant Disease Recovery System. He is a long-standing critic of biotech crops, such as Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soybean and corn, which have been

genetically modified to withstand treatments of Roundup.

In his letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Huber said the organism has been found in high concentrations of Roundup Ready soybean meal and corn, which are used in livestock feed.

Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of the organism in pigs, cattle and other livestock that have experienced spontaneous abortions and infertility. The organism is also prolific in corn and soybean crops stricken by disease, he added.

“I believe the threat we are facing from this pathogen is unique and of a high risk status,” Huber wrote. “In layman’s terms, it should be treated as an emergency.”

Huber said in his letter that the findings were at an early stage, but it appeared side effects of glyphosate use may have facilitated growth of the pathogen or allowed it to cause greater harm to weakened plant and animal hosts.

He requested USDA participation in an investigation and urged a moratorium on approvals of Roundup Ready crops.

USDA officials declined to comment about the letter’s contents.

“We’re review ing it, and w ill respond directly to Dr. Huber, rather than responding through the media,” said USDA spokesperson Andre Bell.

Roundup has long been a draw for critics, who say the herbicide promotes widespread weed resistance. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FLAX COUNCIL OF CANADA | NEW PRESIDENT

SASK. BUDGET | RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Flax council bids Hall farewell; Hill takes reins as president

Sask. roads to get $23.5 million

Barry Hall retires | He called the Triffid situation a big disappointment

Saskatchewan’s rural municipalities already know they are getting $23.5 million to improve roads and bridges, a month before the provincial budget is to be read in the legislature.

That amount is the same as the 2010-11 fiscal year, said highways minister Jim Reiter.

Last year’s money paid for improvements on 280 kilometres of roads and nearly 70 bridges and culverts.

Reiter said he expects a similar outcome this year.

“You can never predict how tenders

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The changing of the guard at the Flax Council of Canada should be seamless as a Hill replaces a Hall.

“Just cross out a letter on the (business) card,” said council chair Terry James.

William Hill replaces retiring Barry Hall as president of the council effective March 1.

“With Will Hill, we’ve got a very experienced individual who knows international grain markets and is very aware of production issues that western Canadian producers have had in the past,” said James.

Hill has 30 years of experience in the Canadian grain industry, including senior management positions as president of ICE Futures Canada, senior vice-president of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool’s grain group and managing director of merchandising and transportation at United Grain Growers.

James praised Hall for his 18 years of service with the council, including the last 11 as president.

He called him a “steady statesman” who helped develop a food market for what had been an exclusively industrial crop and credited him for elevating public awareness of flax’s nutritional properties.

He was also pleased with Hall’s handling of the Triffid case, when an unwanted genetically modified trait that contaminated the supply system sent the industry into a tailspin in 2009.

“He was the captain of the ship and did a good job in steering us to being able to maintain some semblance of a European marketplace,” said James.

Hall called the Triffid case the biggest disappointment of his career because it wiped out a burgeoning and high-value human consumption market for the crop.

“It’s not the way that I would have hoped to have left the industry,” said the 70-year-old.

Before Triffid was found in shipments, 20 percent of Canadian flax sold to Europe went to food markets.

That high-margin container business evaporated overnight.

Hall agreed with James that his main contribution to the industry was getting flax recognized in the United States and offshore markets for its nutritional qualities. The crop is now used to produce omega 3 eggs and pork.

He’s also proud of the work the council did in convincing the federal government to fund a project with Cibus Global to create a non-GM herbicide tolerant flax that should boost yields. That work could lead to future traits such as modified fatty acid profiles.

Hall thinks the Cibus project could be one of the keys to flax’s survival.

“The crop will go through several tough years here, but long-term I think you’re going to see a tremendous resurgence.”

James said finding ways to make flax more agronomically competitive access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

with other crops will be at the top of Hill’s to-do list along with finding a resolution to the Triffid issue.

Hall said the first thing he is going to do in retirement is take a trip to Europe, but this time it will have nothing to do with trying to establish a low level GM presence policy.

He’s going to visit his daughter’s family living in the south of France, where he can reflect on his career with the council.

The crop will go through several tough years here, but long-term I think you’re going to see a tremendous resurgence.

CATTLE | LAMENESS

Foot problems warrant prompt attention Most lameness starts in foot | Accurate diagnosis vital to animal’s recovery

DENVER, Colo. — Ninety percent of lameness in cattle starts in the foot, making it important to accurately diagnosis the condition before it becomes untreatable.

Causes vary by season and can be traced to animal handling, Tom Edwards, a private veterinarian in Nebraska with a large feedlot practice, told the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association annual convention last month.

A 2007 beef quality audit reported 31 percent of bulls and 16 percent of cows in packing house holding pens were lame.

“We are seeing more packing plants turning those away so we have to look at the whole industry to see what we can do,” said beef specialist Connie Larson of Zinpro Corp.

The same audit estimated three to four percent of calves and about eight p e rc e nt o f b re e d i n g s t o c k a re destroyed due to lameness.

Sore feet reduce animal productivity and longevity because they struggle to walk and get to feed.

“If we have lower foot problems, that means we can divert more nutrients for better growth of these animals,” Larson said.

Cattle need proper micro and macronutrients for foot and joint health.

Larson said many forages are low in critical trace elements for the foot: • zinc for skin integrity, growth and repair; • manganese for skeletal soundness; • copper for tissue building in the foot as well as Vitamin E and selenium.

The latter two work together, but too much selenium can affect horn and claw tissue in cattle and horses and cause lameness.

Edwards said correctly diagnosing the infection is important because it often becomes a decision between whether to treat the disease or sell the animal for salvage value.

“We have to get a lot quicker on some of the decisions we make,” he said.

Watch for bobbing heads

This is a severe sole ulcer in typical position on the lateral hindclaw. | WCVM PHOTO

This foot rot picture shows swelling and redness above the hoof. Note the separation of the claws and the necrotic tissue between the claws. | WCVM PHOTO

Edwards tells clients to watch how an animal walks.

It may or may not have a pronounced limp, but the head will bob down if the back foot is lame because the animal tries to keep weight off the sore part.

The head bobbing up likely means the front foot is affected.

The foot must be examined if a problem is noted. This must be done carefully because it can be dangerous for the handler and not all chutes are designed to allow easy access to the animal’s feet.

Toe abscesses are caused by a sole penetration that leads to an infection under the hoof wall.

The hoof is soft and easily worn down to the sensitive part of the foot, especially around the toes. The outside front foot is most severely affected. The outside rear toe is the next most common area.

The toes can be trimmed at the tips to relieve pressure from the swelling.

Foot rot is the most common form of lameness in cattle.

It is most often apparent one to two weeks after the soft tissue between the toes has sustained damage in mud or rough or frozen edges on the ground. The animal may pick up infectious bacteria from the soil.

Producers should examine the area of the foot between the toes. Swollen and foul smelling soft tissue means it is foot rot.

It is generally treated with long acting antibiotics. Topical medications are of little value and use of iodine in the feed has questionable results. Adding zinc to the diet may help prevent it.

“It is a lot better if we get zinc into them as a calf,” Edwards said.

Sand cracks are vertical fissures and are often seen on cow-calf operations.

They are caused by nutritional deficiencies, but some genetic lines are more susceptible than others.

The cracks can spread and lead to an infection.

Laminitis results from digestive upsets. The animal will walk slowly and softly.

The P3 bone in the foot may detach from the hoof wall, rotate and sink down and come through the sole of the foot. There is no effective treatment for beef cattle.

Hairy heel warts, also called digital dermatitis, are seen more frequently in dairy cattle but are appearing more often in beef cattle. The condition is highly infectious.

A raw, cherry-red lesion develops around the heel and the sore may develop hairy looking growths.

The animal is reluctant to walk and may cock its foot up to take tension off the heel. Antibiotics and foot baths may work, but it is a difficult condition to treat. It is often misdiagnosed as foot rot.

Other hoof injuries & infections Hoof injuries are another cause of lameness. They most often result when an animal’s toe is caught and damaged in a poorly designed or maintained facility.

Researchers develop tools to identify, prevent lameness in cattle

2. Walks with a hunched back 3. Stands and walks with a hunched back 4. Stands and walks with a hunched back, favours a leg 5. Refuses to bear weight on one leg, has difficulty walking Those scoring in the four to five range should not go to market because they are at risk of becoming nonambulatory.

Injuries of this type should not be left to heal on their own because they can turn into severe infections.

Producers shouldn’t scatter sand in alleyways to improve traction because it hurts cattle’s feet and can worsen a pre-existing condition.

Bruises, abrasions, fractures, sprains and strains result in swelling and are often caused by poor handling.

Cattle with foot infections need ample bedding because they will lie down a lot.

Swollen joints can also cause lameness and can take four to six weeks to heal. Swelling may be caused by an injury or an infection that developed in the joint after foot rot was improperly treated. The front fetlock, hock and elbow are the areas most commonly affected.

The bacteria E. coli, histophilus or pasteurella are the usual causes of infection.

Swollen joints are painful and the animal may not be able to eat enough for minimum body maintenance, much less gain weight. They require long-term therapy.

Euthanasia may be advised if the animal is under a long withdrawal time for a medication when the swollen joint is diagnosed.

Non-ambulatory or downer animals should be euthanized. They may be down because of a central nervous system disorder and a vet should be consulted.

Responsible care for downer animals includes giving them time to recover with feed and water and turning them so blood does not collect in one spot.

Larson said she lets a cow stay down for three days and then is likely to recommend humane euthanization.

She said it is unacceptable to drag these animals with chains. They can be moved with a sled, low boy trailer or the bucket of a front end loader.

Larson advises her clients to take courses about the proper handling and transportation of animals.

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Lameness is a common ailment that affects cattle, especially feedlot cattle and stocker calves.

Researchers at Kansas State University want to reduce such incidents.

“The incidence of lameness varies based on production systems (such as) dairy cows, feedlot calves, bull studs or cow-calf operations,” said David Anderson, professor of clinical sciences at KSU. “In dairy cows, lameness is a common problem and affects 10 to 20 percent of cows in a given herd.”

He identified causes such as the environment, management, nutrition, herd factors and infectious agents such as spirochete associated with bovine digital dermatitis.

Anderson said lameness affects one percent of calves in feedlots, but disease outbreaks such as Mycoplasma bovis infection can dramatically increase this.

It can significantly affect producers’ bottom line through production losses.

However, many of these diseases aren’t understood enough.

A damaged hoof or sole can result in ulcers, abscesses or infection of deep tissue. The condition can cause severe pain during weight bearing.

“At this time, no universally accepted methods for objective assessment of lameness exist,” said Anderson.

“We are in the process of developing an algorithm for the study of lameness. We have established a model in which we can control the onset, severity and duration of lameness. This model will allow us to develop robust detection methods for the study of discrete changes in weight bearing and responses to prevention and treatment strategies.”

Anderson is working on pressure map technology, which measures weight bearing and method of stride, while other researchers are analyzing indicators of pain in the blood and studying accelerometry, which uses monitors to measure the behavioural responses of animals.

“Pressure map technology allows us to study every aspect of the way cattle walk,” said Anderson.

“We can map the weight bearing pressure, the direction of force throughout all phases of the stride and measure differences in the way access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

» Accelerometry uses a gyroscope

» Pressure maps yield real-time

cattle move weight from one digit to another as well as from one limb to another. This technology should allow real time monitoring of lameness in herds in much the same way somatic cell counts can be monitored in milk, or feed intake and weight gain can be monitored. This should allow early detection of lameness to optimize treatment of an individual cow (as well as) intervention of lameness outbreaks, which will limit the impact of lameness on productivity.”

Anderson said cattle with two toes per foot walk better, perform better, live longer and have more productive

lives than cattle in which one digit has been removed.

New procedures have been developed in the last 10 years to preserve toes. This management is the most successful when procedures are performed early in the progression of a disease.

Dr ug therapy is complicated because of the threat of contamination to meat and milk.

Researchers hope studying the efficacy of drugs and determining their clearance from the body will help farmers treat cattle, meet production needs and protect the public.

models and identifying drugs such as flunixin and meloxicam to help reduce pain and lameness.

“Accelerometry is a process of using gyroscopic technology to simultaneously measure the position of the limb in three planes: up and down, side to side and front to back,” Anderson said.

“We can determine if a given calf is lying down or standing and if a standing calf is still or walking.”

Researchers can examine an animal for 24 hours using accelerometry monitors to determine how much time an animal spends lying down, moving around or standing still.

“In some of our studies where clinical lameness scores were not different from lame calves with different treatments for lameness, we were able to differentiate calves based on how much time they spent walking during the time they were standing.”

Prevention is the ultimate goal of the research.

Anderson said the KSU researchers frequently discuss lameness research with experts at Canadian veterinary colleges.

“By studying how cattle walk and how the various risk factors influence these patterns, we (feel) we will be able to greatly decrease the incidence of lameness.

“We would fully expect that these technologies would translate well to Canadian dairy farms and feedlots.”

FEEDLOT SECTOR | WEATHER

Feedlots suffer from 2010 mud Cattle sink into clay | Owners will need new claybeds, fencing, additional gravel

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan feedlot infrastructure took a beating last year, and operators say it will take years to recover.

The wet conditions forced them to reduce stocking densities, resulting in lower revenue and a delay in recovery, said Brad Welter, cattle manager at the 28,500-head PoundMaker feedlot near Lanigan, Sask.

He said capacity dropped by 35 percent at Pound-Maker because pens were too muddy. Manure that should have been removed last fall

was piled because there was nowhere to spread it.

More pens became available after freeze-up but that is about to end.

“We’ve got to reduce numbers in a huge way before the spring breakup because we’ve got all that leftover manure that we couldn’t get out,” he said.

“It just going to cause even more problems in the spring when the winter manure is added to it.”

At Plains Livestock near Porcupine Plain, Sask., manager Bruce Edwards said the 10,000-head lot is at 8,000 head right now. Last summer it was only a quarter to a third full.

“It was maybe a blessing that we didn’t have a whole lot of cattle,” he said. “At least we could move the cattle around.”

Edwards said conditions were so bad that cattle were sinking down into the clay base in each pen.

Welter agreed that most pens will have to be re-landscaped because the clay eroded. That will be one of the biggest costs facing feedlots.

“It could be a long time coming,” Welter said.

“Things have to be cleaned out, dried out and new clay and fill will have to be hauled in, packed in and re-landscaped.”

Most Saskatchewan feedlot owners do not qualify for the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program because earnings must be less than $2 million annually. | FILE PHOTO Concrete feed aprons and water bowl pads are eroding and breaking off. Fencing sat in mud too long and needs fixing.

“We’ve lost all our gravel in our feed alleys,” added Edwards.

Bale damage and waste was significant, and more bedding is needed to keep cattle content and healthy.

Yardage costs will have to increase.

Good reasons to put Canada’s #1 Scours vaccine1 to work protecting your calves.

Only ScourGuard™ 4KC is indicated to be used 3-6 weeks before calving.

Newborn calves must consume enough immunoglobulin-laced colostrum in the first few hours so they can fight off disease. ScourGuard 4KC label directions strategically match colostral antibody development and its concentration in colostrum in dams. Which means that strategic vaccination with ScourGuard 4KC helps to maximize colostrum quality and protect against major causes of scours.

Best practices yield results.

Welter said a survey of feedlot operators in Saskatchewan found the problem is widespread.

Most are coping because the ground is frozen, but the spring thaw is just weeks away. Operators are nervously eying the calendar and their manure piles.

“We’re going to have some issues,” said Welter. “This backlog of manure is not going to be fixed in one year.

We’ve got several years of catching up to do.”

Edwards said his costs of dealing with manure have probably tripled.

“We touched it three or four times with a track hoe,” he said. “It’s piled in fields, not even spread, so we’re going to have to touch it again. It takes cash flow to remove all that manure.”

Some manure will be composted and spread later, but no one knows when that will happen.

Manure isn’t the only concern.

Runoff holding ponds that are supposed to empty through evaporation are full.

“We’re going to have all this new runoff so they’re going to overflow,” said Welter.

Andy Jansen, manager of agricultural operations for the provincial agriculture ministry, told the Saskatchewan Cattle Feeders Association annual meeting in January that the government wants to know as soon as possible if an intensive livestock operation anticipates problems this spring.

He said holding ponds designed for a one-in-50-year or one-in-100-year event are likely maxed out after last year’s rainfall.

A large spring runoff and manure piled on a high water table could present challenges.

“We’re into what I would call unique conditions, where producers may not have been able to manage their operations the way they usually do,” he said in an interview. “I would rather know about them now.”

The ministry’s role is to evaluate the risk and offer advice, he added.

Edwards said there aren’t many options. The ponds will have to be pumped onto land owned by the feedlot, but it is already saturated.

Individuals and some businesses qualify for help under the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program, but larger feedlots don’t qualify because their gross revenues are too high.

Under the assistance program, small businesses must earn at least $6,000 but no more than $2 million.

Welter said some operators have told him they won’t be able to rebuild or make repairs.

“That’s disappointing,” he said. “I think that over time a lot of this will get rebuilt and repaired and replaced but it’s going to take some time and some money to do it. In my mind it won’t all be rebuilt without some help.”

Agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said he has heard the concerns and is looking for ways to help. He suggested changes could be made to the disaster assistance plan’s cap.

FREEMARTINS | IDENTIFICATION

Measuring device tests for freemartins ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

Freemartins can also be identified with a blood test performed by a veterinarian

P

roducers have several options when checking for and identifying freemartins in their herds.

Freemartins are often associated with twins and are a common phenomena, considering that half the twin sets are mixed sexes.

Freemartins should be identified early to make sure they are not kept as replacements or sold as replacement heifers.

Losses can add up if producers try for several years to breed unidentified sterile freemartins.

It is far better to identify them and put them into the feedlot with the non-replacement heifers. They will perform exceptionally.

Ninety to 95 percent of the heifers in mixed sex twins are true freemartins.

A farmer could presume they are all freemartins and put them all on the culling list.

But in some cases, such as when dealing with valuable breeding stock, it is good to test and identify the five percent that could be kept as breeding animals.

Freemartins grow extremely well because of the influence of male hormones. They will often be in the top 25 percent of the heifers for size and are often considered for replacements if not identified.

I have often detected freemartins when palpating heifers for select replacement sales.

You can write “twin” on the ear tag, use a different colour or tag the opposite ear. Writing “twin” helps the feedlot or producer down the road. I notch the tags on twins, which draws attention and makes them easy to sort later.

Producers can identify freemartins by examining the external genitalia.

A prominent clitoris and loosely attached or feathery vulval lips are a dead give away. The genital opening may be located down between the back legs toward where the prepuce would be on a bull.

A commercially available device helps identify freemartins with more normal looking external genitalia. It measures the depth of the vaginal vault when inserted into the vagina and can be used on newborns up to a few days old.

It has negative (short measurement), middle (indeterminate) and positive (long) positions. The short or negative positions mean the animal is a freemartin.

This device also works with bison. I used it on a 300 pound suspect freemartin bison heifer and it confirmed the suspicion.

A blood test is also available. Veterinarians draw whole blood and send it to the Saskatchewan Research Council laboratory in Saskatoon. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

The measuring device and blood test are extremely accurate.

Otherwise, producers will need to wait until the heifers are much older before they can be palpated to determine freemartin status.

Occasionally a freemartin heifer is not born as a twin. The likely explanation is that it started as a twin and the other fetus was resorbed.

As long as the pregnancy reaches 60 days with both fetuses, the male fetus will exert enough hormonal influence on the heifer for it to become a freemartin. These single freemartins will be missed at birth.

A tell tale sign is a heifer that sprays urine straight back rather than down in a stream like a normal heifer.

Palpating prospective replacement heifers will identify pregnant ones and pick up the freemartins.

Here are other factors to watch for: • beware of single dairy heifers for sale because they are often freemartins; • freemartin heifers should be fed with the heifers rather than the steers because they can be ridden and picked on in the steer pen; • some freemartins have rudimentary ovarian tissue and will cycle; • they do a bit better with a steer implant.

Roy Lewis is a veterinarian practising in Westlock, Alta.

FARM INCOME | STATISTICS CANADA 2010 REPORT

Receipts dip but farmers optimistic Revenue above five year average | The higher Canadian dollar and global recession hurt exports BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Cash receipts fell almost $800 million last year because of a sharp decrease in crop returns from the market, says Statistics Canada.

Farm program payments also fell, while livestock sector gross income rebounded, said the agency’s preliminary 2010 farm receipts report published Feb. 23.

Still, $43.8 billion in gross income was higher than the fiveyear average.

Statistics Canada is expected to release its first estimate of realized net farm income, which deducts production costs and depreciation from gross receipts, in late May. That report will also include figures on whether Canada’s record $63 billion farm debt grew again last year for the 18th straight year.

The news of the decline in farm revenue landed in the middle of the annual meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture in Ottawa, but it did little to dent the optimistic mood that infused the convention.

“I’m optimistic about the industry,” re-elected president Ron Bonnett said in an interview.

“The horticulture sector is having challenges and the livestock industry

is having a feeble recovery, but I think we are headed in the right direction.”

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz told reporters after a Feb. 23 speech to the convention that cash receipts are down in grain and oilseeds because the global recession reduced demand.

“We also saw our dollar going up in comparison to other dollars and that shows up in trade distortions,” he said.

“Overall, though, the farming sector is very optimistic. I point to the survey that Farm Credit Canada did that shows two-thirds of farmers saying they are better off than they were five years ago and 76 percent saying that the next five years are going to be great.”

Statistics Canada said crop receipts fell almost $1.5 billion to their lowest level since 2007. Prices rose in the last quarter of the year but the overall result was a decline because of lower prices and lower marketings, particularly in wheat.

The biggest hit was in Alberta, where year-over-year receipts were down almost six percent, more than $550 million.

However, cash receipts were higher in the last quarter than in the comparable 2009 period.

Livestock receipts increased $850

Worries about the violent revolution in Libya and the effect of rising crude oil costs on the global economic recovery caused investors to retreat from risk toward the safe haven of currencies such as the Swiss franc. But corporations and consumers are mostly upbeat about the coming year. For the week, the TSX composite fell 0.5 percent, S&P 500 fell 1.7 percent the Dow lost 2.1 percent and the Nasdaq fell 1.9 percent.

million on the strength of higher cattle prices. The higher dollar and trade implications of country-of-originlabelling in the United States reduced exports, which led to more finishing in Canada with higher returns.

The biggest rebound came in the hog sector, where receipts increased 15.7 percent because of higher prices.

However,the number of hogs marketed fell three percent to their lowest level since 2002.

Statistics Canada blamed the lower marketings on the smaller herd, a 5.6 percent decline in the number of hog farms and a federal program that encouraged producers to cull breeding sow herds.

Meanwhile, a sharp drop in Quebec program payments was the main reason program payments fell $150 million to $3.1 billion.

Crop insurance payouts in Saskatchewan helped temper the decline in program payments. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,news section=ag_finance,news,none

Maple Leaf raises prices to offset higher wheat, meat costs

MICHAEL MCCAIN, MAPLE LEAF CEO

WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Maple Leaf Foods has posted a higher quarterly profit, overcoming rising wheat and meat costs by cutting elsewhere and raising its own prices.

Minneapolis spring wheat futures rose more than 60 percent in 2010, largely because of crop failures, while Chicago hog futures climbed by more than a third, pushing costs higher for food processors such as Maple Leaf.

The company has already passed along some of those costs to consumers, while cost cutting also added to the bottom line, said chief executive officer Michael McCain.

The closure of meat plants, starting with two in Nova Scotia and British Columbia, looks to boost meat profit margins in 2011, along with price increases in prepared meat, the company said.

Earnings for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31 rose by more than one-third to $30.2 million.

Profits rose even though Maple Leaf’s sale of its pork plant in Burlington, Ont., held back revenue, which fell nine percent to $1.21 billion. The lower revenue figure also reflected an additional week in the previous year’s fourth quarter.

A deadly meat recall in 2008 ham-

mered the company’s shares and earnings, but last year it launched an ambitious plan to rebuild profits by modernizing some plants and closing others.

Maple Leaf made peace earlier this year with its second-largest shareholder by giving West Face Capital greater influence, including a seat on the board, amid ongoing investor concerns about a tepid performance by its shares.

The company’s yearly profit came in at about half of the previous year’s level, at $25.8 million, after it took more than $70 million in charges during 2010. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,news section=ag_finance,news,none

Manitoba Food Development Centre looks to upgrade, expand services with new money

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The federal and Manitoba governments have invested an additional $2.6 million into the Food Development Centre in Portage la Prairie.

The centre, an agency of Manitoba

Agriculture, will use the funds to add food processing space and a warehouse to its building in Portage.

“It will allow the Food Development Centre to take on more clients, take on more projects and incorporate some high tech equipment,” said provincial agriculture minister

Stan Struthers.

The federal government will contribute $1.56 million toward the project. The province will cover the remaining $1.04 million.

“This investment will help their facility better service the agri-food industry both Manitoba and nation-

ally,” said MP for Portage-Lisgar, Candice Hoeppner, in a statement.

The warehouse and processing space is part of $7.74 million expansion and renovation of FDC, which began last year.

The centre, which generates revenue from clients, is contributing

$1.34 million towards the project.

FDC experts help entrepreneurs commercialize ideas and formulations for food products.

In 2009-10, FDC staff developed 48 food prototypes and helped launch five new products into the marketplace. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none section=ag_finance,none,news

TAXATION | LEASING VS. BUYING

Leasing grain bins has income tax implications Farmers receiving incorrect information | Producers urged to get professional tax advice when deciding whether to lease Ve r n P e t e r s i s a c h a r t e r e d accountant and a partner at Stark & Marsh Chartered Accountants in Swift Current, Sask.

BY VERN PETERS FREELANCE WRITER

Our chartered accounting firm has become aware of incorrect income tax information provided by leasing companies regarding grain bins.

The examples we have seen go something like this.

A farmer leases grain bins valued at $100,000 with an option to buy for $10,000 at the end of the lease. The farmer subsequently sells the bins for $100,000 and realizes a capital gain for $90,000.

If this was an individual, he would use the capital gains deduction (CGD) and pay no income tax. Individuals who had no CGD remaining would pay tax on only one-half of the gain.

The examples also state that leasing has succession planning benefits

when transferring the bins to children.

However, none of this is correct.

The Income Tax Act has envisioned leasing arrangements and the disparity that could exist between buying and leasing an asset. Subsection 13 (5.2) addresses leasing of depreciable property.

When the farmer exercises the option to buy, $10,000 is added to the capital cost allowance (CCA) pool for Class 6. However, subsection 13 (5.2) also deems that the cost for recaptured CCA purposes will be higher if the fair market value at the time of purchase exceeds the purchase price ($10,000 in the above example).

It seems clear from the example that the grain bins likely had a fair market value of at least $100,000 at the time the purchase option was exercised. Subsection 13 (5.2) deems the cost added to Class 6 to be the lesser of the fair market value when the option is exercised and the total of previous lease payments expensed plus the purchase option.

Farmers are warned to think twice about leasing grain bins if they hope to get a tax break. | FILE PHOTO It likely is fair to assume that the total of the lease payments plus the purchase option is greater than $100,000. Therefore, the cost for recaptured CCA purposes is deemed to be $100,000. Subsection 13 (5.2) also deems that $90,000 of CCA has previously been claimed.

We will assume that grain bins were the only addition to Class 6 and that the

farmer claimed no CCA on this class.

The farmer will realize recaptured CCA of $90,000 when the bins are sold for $100,000. This is not a capital gain.

The entire $90,000 of recaptured CCA will be taxed as farm income.

Even if the bins were sold for $120,000 and there was a capital gain on the sale, this gain likely would not be eligible for the CGD. It is generally accepted that grain bins are movable property , but the CGD is available only for real or immovable property. Real property includes land or buildings affixed to the land. Grain bins do not meet this definition.

The claim that leasing provides a benefit for intergenerational rollover is also erroneous.

Leasing or buying grain bins does not affect the ability to transfer bins to children on a tax deferred basis. This can be done during the parent’s lifetime.

Using the facts from the above example, a parent may want payment from a child only for the final purchase option of $10,000. Assum-

ing other criteria are met, as contained in section 73, the parent would show a disposition of $10,000 to Class 6 and the child would show an addition of $10,000 to Class 6.

The potential recapture of $90,000 will also become the child’s when the bins are sold.

Let’s say that the bins had originally been bought and the undepreciated capital cost of Class 6 was now $62,329. These bins were the only assets in that class.

The child pays $10,000 for the bins.

The parent would show a disposition of $62,329 to Class 6 and the child would show an addition of $62,329 to Class 6.

The potential recapture of $37,671 would also become the child’s when the bins are sold.

You must have the best information available when deciding whether to lease or buy assets. If you have wrong information, you may end up with an income tax surprise later.

Discuss leasing versus buying with your income tax professional.

ESTATE PLANNING | GIVING OR WILLING?

Giving assets before death may have advantages over a will MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

LARRY ROCHE

T

here are tough decisions to make when preparing for the ultimate disposition of hard earned assets to family members.

We all want to make this transition as seamless as possible and we all believe that discord among our beneficiaries is unlikely.

However, there are enough horror stories around to suggest that the process doesn’t always bring out the best in people.

That is because wills, as iron tight as you might think they are, frequently become open to legal interpretation, particularly when it comes to understanding your intentions behind certain choices.

If you are not around, who will be there to explain your intentions?

An alternative to the will is gifting some assets during your lifetime so there is no misunderstanding about why you arrived at the deci-

sions you did.

There are arguments for taking either route when transferring assets to family members.

However, if you are confident that you will have enough to live on during your retirement after you have gifted a modest or significant portion of your estate, then it may be a good strategy for reducing the probate fees and taxes that might be attached to your estate.

That is because you have reduced the overall size of your estate that will be subject to such fees and taxes.

More importantly, it may also help reduce family infighting about who gets what after your death.

It is important to remember that you cannot take the gift back once you have decided on this approach.

However, you can change your will several times as situations change as you get older.

A gift of cash from non-registered funds to adult family members other than a spouse/partner usually does not create real tax issues. As well, any future tax liabilities become the recipient’s responsibility once it is invested.

However, income from the gifted funds or security is still taxed in the hands of the giver if the recipient of an income-bearing gift is a minor access=subscriber

child or a spouse/partner.

Some of the disadvantages of lifetime gifting include integrating the asset with the matrimonial property of the recipient, which could be lost in a divorce or seized by creditors.

As well, a gift such as a family cottage or marketable security is deemed to

be sold at fair market value at the time of the gifting, which may result in capital gains tax to the giver.

However, distributing such assets through a will delays the imposition of taxes on these items until death and provides for an orderly distribution of assets.

In either case, retain the services of qualified tax specialists or professional advisers to make the most of either gifting or will planning.

Ritz backs tough rail service stand

Rural areas welcome new money for doctors

BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Prairie farmer frustration with rail service and freight costs bubbled to the surface regularly during last week’s Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting and the complainants won an important ally.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz told delegates Feb. 23 that if the final report of the Rail Service Review Panel expected within weeks reaffirms its interim recommendation that the railways be given three years to improve service before government acts, he will oppose it.

He became the first Conservative minister to support the call for a cost-

If and when we do a costing review, it has to be holistic. You have to have all the players at the table.

ing review but he said it should study costs in the entire system and not just the railways and freight rates.

In answer to a question from Lynn Jacobson, vice-president of Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, about grain transportation and the delay in publishing the final report, Ritz said the interim recommendation of a

three-year moratorium on regulatory action is unacceptable.

“A three-year extension from my perspective as agriculture minister is not on,” he said.

The report is going to minister of state for transport Rob Merrifield but Ritz said he will be in on the debate.

“I plan to play a major role.”

And on Jacobson’s demand for a costing review, Ritz said he has not opposed the idea.

“If and when we do a costing review, it has to be holistic,” he said.

“You have to have all the players at the table. The railways are part of it, the grain companies are part of it, the wheat board is part of it. All that has to be looked at.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Funding will train doctors willing to work in rural areas BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The significance of Ottawa’s announcement of almost $40 million to train rural doctors is not the money or the positions, says Dr. John Wootton.

It is in the fact that the federal government appears willing to venture into provincial jurisdiction to begin fixing a problem, said the president of the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada.

“It is one of the first investments of access=subscriber section=news,none,none

its kind by the federal government,” he said. “It is my hope that it signals a change in direction and that they will be more open to creative solutions.”

Canadian Medical Association president Jeff Turnbull said the CMA estimates as many as five million Canadians do not have a family doctor.

Funding for 100 new family residency positions in rural Canada is a start, he added.

“While more needs to be done, we are encouraged by the announcement of these new residencies in Canada’s rural regions where access to physicians is a constant challenge,” he said in a statement.

Health minister Leona Aglukkaq, from the remote Nunavut community of Cambridge Bay, announced that the government will spend $39.5 million to train and support family medicine residents working or willing to work in rural and remote areas.

The money comes from a PanCanadian Health Human Resources Strategy announced in an earlier budget.

The largest share, $11 million, will support 60 training positions in emergency medicine in Ontario.

Saskatchewan will receive $3.4 million to support six new physicians with training in anesthesia or surgery. They will work with the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Medicine.

British Columbia will receive $5.9 million for up to 20 residencies.

Nunavut, New Brunswick and Newfoundland also receive some of the funding.

Wootton said part of the downside with the announcement is that it will be implemented differently in different provinces.

“That means it will be difficult to really assess the results. Some may be more successful than others.”

He said a lack of statistics and concentrated attention on improving rural health is a problem for rural medicine. Health Canada does not have a rural branch and the CMA does not concentrate on the issue.

He said there is not even reliable information on how many physicians practice in rural Canada and how many are needed.

“We just don’t know.”

Wootton said there is also no guarantee that physicians trained under the program will stay in rural locations.

“There is a risk you are just going to increase the number of medical tourists, people who go to rural or remote communities for a few years for the experience and then head back to the city.”

Liberals dismissed the Conservative announcement as a Band-Aid solution for a serious problem.

“The Liberal plan would help up to 6,000 doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners practice in underserved rural communities by forgiving up to $20,000 of their student debt,” the party said.

It also said it would support ruralfocused medical education and training, improve rural health extension programs, encourage rural young people to go to medical school and improve rural internet service.

HEALTH | GOVERNMENT SPENDING

Sask. increases share of health facility costs Government increases its share of the cost of building new facilities to 80 from 65 percent

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Raising money to build new regional health facilities got a little easier for municipalities last week when the Saskatchewan government announced it would pay a larger share.

For years, the province paid 65 percent of the cost of long-term care facilities and communities paid 35 percent.

Raising that amount has been a struggle for many municipalities, and delegates attending the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association’s February convention passed a resolution calling on the province to pay the entire cost.

Last week, health minister Don McMorris didn’t go that far but did announce an 80-20 cost-share arrangement.

The new formula will cost the government an extra $40 million per year but will save money for communities and rural municipalities.

“We were going to have to borrow,” said Kim Carlson, chair of the Redvers and District Community Health Foundation. “It’s a huge saving to us.”

The foundation was looking to raise $3.6 million for a new long-term care facilitybutwillseethatcutby$1.2million.

Carlson said the changes mean the tenders can go out soon and construction could start in the fall.

The 24-bed facility will be added onto the former Centennial longterm care home built in 1967. The old facility will be converted to offices for the Sun Country Health Region, physiotherapy rooms, and maintenance and storage areas.

Maple Creek mayor Barry Rudd said the formula change allows his community’s project to include services it was holding out for, such as diabetes treatment and chemotherapy rooms.

The town and eight RMs had to raise $12 million and had no problem doing so. Rudd said several people took it upon themselves to raise money and within two weeks had pledges for the entire amount.

Some people are paying $250 per year for the next 10 years to see the kind of health care they want, he said.

The town’s share is $3 million.

“You can’t afford not to (spend the money),” he said. “We’ve lost so many services it’s basically a Band-Aid station.”

He said the project should go to

tender by fall.

McMorris said the government kept its share below 100 percent because communities need ownership of their projects.

“We have an aging infrastructure,” he said. “We want to make sure that communities have a portion of (ownership) but we want to make it easier.”

The province’s share will be booked into the current fiscal year, thanks to a strong economy and better than expected revenue.

Vegetable gardens can reap profits but growers need to know how to maintain fertility and manage weeds.

GARDENING | GETTING STARTED

Expert gives ABCs of growing asparagus, beans and corn Vegetable plot how-to | Now is the time to test seeds for germination

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The per acre value of a farm vegetable garden is 20 to 30 times the per acre value of a canola, pea, wheat or barley crop on the Prairies.

So says Ieuan Evans, plant pathologist and crop adviser with Agri-Trend Agrology.

“One acre of garden equals 50 acres of canola,” the avid horticulturist told a Feb. 16 workshop in Lethbridge.

“Remember that.”

Evans advised farm gardeners to develop several garden areas on their properties to maintain fertility and provide effective weed control. As well, he recommended rejuvenating any garden older than 20 years.

He said farmers starting a new garden plot should first plant the new area to canola, fertilizing for a 60 to 80 bushel crop and then turning the canola under after flowering.

They should then plant the area to peas for their nitrogen fixation capacity and turn over the crop after the first pods form.

Evans doesn’t recommend crop rotation in the vegetable garden unless disease or serious weed

problems develop.

“Don’t be obsessed with rotation. It has its place, but think about whether you need it,” he said.

“If you do notice problems, do the rotation. And potatoes you have to rotate because they bring their own diseases with them.”

Evans said this is a good time of year for gardeners who save seed from year to year to do germination tests.

A quick and easy test involves a plastic pie plate lined with wet paper towels. The seeds should be placed on the moist towels and then sealed in a plastic bag.

Counting the sprouts after several days will give a clear indication of seed viability.

“A lot of seeds will last a long time, especially if you keep them cool,” said Evans.

He recommended fridge storage rather than freezer storage. Small seeds will remain viable longer than large ones.

He doesn’t approve of shelterbelts around vegetable gardens, although he acknowledged their use is common.

He said shelterbelt trees rob gardens of water and provide a habitat

for garden pests such as mice, birds and deer.

When an existing shelterbelt borders a garden, he recommended ripping the soil at about 2 ½ metres from the edge of the trees to damage the roots on the garden side.

“This will cut off 99 percent of the water robbing roots in your gardens and give much better vegetable yield,” he said in his garden handout material.

He also advocated use of plastic windbreak material for gardens, which he said can be erected cheaply. It will also prevent deer damage if installed on eight-foot fencing.

Commercial fertilizers and livestock manure are suitable for the farm garden, he said.

Poultry manure at two to three tons per acre will supply most nutrients, but cattle manure or liquid hog manure will also require additional nitrogen application.

“All garden crops, with the exception of tomatoes, raspberries and strawberries, should be fertilized as you would for a 50 bu. crop of canola, at least,” he said. “That means there should be 140 to 150 pounds of nitrogen available per acre.” access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

BEST PRACTICES FOR PRAIRIE VEGETABLE GARDENS • Have two to three designated vegetable garden areas on every farm • Rotate vegetable garden areas every five to six years • Get rid of treed shelterbelts • Put in windscreens if necessary • Set up a rainwater runoff irrigation system with a fenced pond

ORGANIC FARMING | CONSUMER INTERACTION

Third generation farm carries on legacy Organic system | Customers are invited to see how their food is produced and processed at the on-farm butcher shop

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN FREELANCE WRITER

BASHAW, Alta. — Grandpa was right, says a third-generation farmer who sees a bright future based on some old ideas.

Brett Kikel is a rarity in rural Alberta: a young welder with a ticket from Red Deer College who has found that working in the oilpatch isn’t all it was cracked up to be.

Kikel ignored his deep love for the mixed farm that his grandfather had founded and decided as a teenager to take a welding apprenticeship and get in on the big opportunities that were being promised.

“I just wanted to see what else was out there, to kind of experience some of the stuff going on. It was more the money. A lot of people fell for it and look at where they are now. They’re sucking air.”

Kikel started seeing his family’s farm in a new light and found he had no problem envisioning himself walking in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps.

Besides, his welding experience would be useful on the farm and perhaps provide a little income on the side if needed.

His return to the farm promises to bring about important changes that are firmly rooted in his grandfather’s ideas.

Richard Kikel was 14 when he left Germany.

He made his way to Alberta, finding work with farmers and homesteaders until he was able to stake a claim of his own in the gentle hills near Red Deer Lake, a few kilometres west of Bashaw.

Richard Sr., now 101 and living in a seniors’ centre in Red Deer, held strong beliefs about taking care of the land and his livestock.

He was committed to running as diverse an operation as possible, with a wide variety of livestock, a

There’s a lot of questions they’re going to ask and you’ve got to have the right answer.

BRETT KIKEL ALBERTA FARMER

herd of milking cows, a few cereal crops and a vegetable garden.

“Grandpa, he’s always had the chickens, the peacocks, the pheasants, the pigs, the cows, the milk cows,” his grandson said.

Richard Sr. also refused to apply chemicals to his soil, using livestock manure as his only fertilizer and leaving a few acres in summerfallow to control weeds and disease.

His son, also named Richard, adopted those ideas as he became more involved in the farm, but was concerned that it was not bringing in enough money.

He took a meat cutting course in Lethbridge about 30 years ago and then set up a small butcher shop in the yard between his and his parents’ houses. Within five years, he had expanded the shop to include a kill floor, custom killing and cutting for other farmers.

Kikel Meats now custom slaughters and processes all kinds of farm and game animals, including taking the pigs that local Hutterites cannot deliver to larger packers and selling the meat to Chinese merchants in Edmonton.

The elder Kikels stopped combining their crops about 12 years ago when prices for wheat and barley hit rock bottom.

Those last grain crops are still in the bins and are used as feed for Kikel’s c h i c k e n s, a v a r i e t y e s p e c i a l l y developed for the free-range market and shipped to him from a supplier in Quebec.

used to swath feed the cattle and as green feed for the livestock.

Kikel is now switching the farm to entirely organic production and wants his customers to come and see for themselves.

He sees opportunity in catering to people who are willing to pay premium prices for locally produced organic food.

“That’s what I want to do, to let the families actually see what’s actually happening, how the food gets from the animal onto the plate that they’re actually taking home and eating,” he said.

“That’s kind of my next step with all of this.”

He laughs as he describes a sign he saw on a farm near Edmonton.

“He had actually a sign posted: ‘Castrating.’ You could come out and see how calves get castrated and stuff. People are willing to come and see that kind of stuff.”

Although world economies appear to be climbing out of recession, Kikel believes serious trouble is coming for farmers who have saddled their futures to producing large amounts of a single commodity.

On the other hand, opportunities

abound for farmers who are willing to diversify and add value to the products they grow, he added.

It’s a lot of work, though, so not everyone is ready to take that leap.

There’s also a level of risk involved in letting people get up close and personal with a farming operation.

“There’s a lot of questions they’re going to ask and you’ve got to have the right answer. You do something wrong, there’s always that one guy that’s going to be right there. You can go down the tubes pretty fast. It is a tough market, but it’s either you’re in it or you’re not.”

COURTS | JURY DUTY

Jurors play important role in Canada’s justice system THE LAW

RICK DANYLIUK, QC

Q:

I have been summoned for jury duty. Do I have to go? What can I do to get out of it? What happens if I don’t show up?

A:

Many people see jury duty as an annoyance and not a civic duty and blame their important jobs for being unable to serve.

Defendants also need to have juries consisting of their peers, not made up only of those who feel like serving or have more leisure time.

I get more questions about how to get out of jury duty than I do as to

what are the duties and rights of a juror. There’s an old saying in the justice system that every person who is accused of a crime has the right to be tried in front of 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty.

That’s a cynical but accurate view of how the public sees this crucial service.

Juries are vital within our system.

While the system’s roots can be traced to ancient Greece and Rome, our jury system really had its beginnings in England. Because the court system was slanted in favour of the king or of nobility, the jury became something of an equalizer.

One’s fellow citizens were seen as more likely to do justice than one’s superiors, who were often of the same class as the person suing or accusing you.

Generally, jurors determine the facts. The law is left up to the judge, who tells a jury what the law is and how to apply it to the facts. Jurors are

Some people who are prohibited from serving include: • There is an applicable list of criminal offences and if you have been convicted of one of them you may be disqualified.

• If you are a police officer, lawyer, trustee in bankruptcy or the spouse of such a person, you may be excused. given complex instructions as to what to do and how to assess a case.

They are expected to leave any prejudices or preconceived notions outside the courtroom, but it is hoped they bring their common sense along.

Jurors are selected at random. The selection system varies on a provincial basis. Often health-card numbers are searched at random to come up with the best cross-section of jurors.

A summons is mailed to each juror, telling them when and where to show

up for court. There is also a form attached to the summons, which allows the prospective juror to explain why he or she cannot attend or should not serve.

These reasons not to serve, often called exemptions, also vary provincially. In many places if you are older than 65 you can ask to be excused.

If you have a significant health problem or are a primary caregiver to some other person (such as a young child or an aged parent) you may ask to be excused.

You can sometimes be exempted if you attend school full time. You may also ask to be excused if serving on the jury would bring about extreme hardship for you, such as in your place of work or within your home.

If you cannot speak or understand the language of the trial adequately, you may be excused.

Still, one should look at jury duty not as an inconvenience but as a privilege and a duty coming from liv-

ing in a democratic country. Jurors ensure that the decisions as to legal matters are not just made by a privileged few, but by a broad cross-section of Canadians who can reflect the views of modern society, even as they shift.

A juror is an average person who should be impartial. He or she must listen carefully to all the evidence and make up their mind based on that evidence and nothing else.

Jurors’ decisions reaffirm our view of Canada’s laws and that they exist for all, not just for a few chosen people.

So when you get your juror notice, don’t automatically think about how to get out of it. Think about what it means to be a Canadian, a free person, and how this experience can help contribute to our justice system.

FOOD PORTIONS | PLATE SIZE MATTERS

Big plates, big portions, big pounds: go small to get small TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

M

ost of us are familiar with fast food restaurants that offer to supersize every meal we order.

Yet few of us would believe that the same thing could be happening in our homes.

I have a collection of plates and when I started to measure the older dinner plates, I discovered that the smallest, and one of the oldest, measured 9 1/2 inches in diameter.

As I compared the other plates they gradually got larger the newer they were. A modern square plate measured 11 inches in diameter.

What was even more startling was the size of the plate surface area where you would normally place the food.

Mega muffins can be three times the size of regular muffins and six times the size of a mini muffin. Changing the way you eat a particular meal can help to reduce the amount you eat. | BETTY ANN DEOBALD PHOTOS

our local grocery store.

I have a mini muffin pan that only requires two tablespoons (30 mL).

I compared the weights of a mini bran muffin, which was one ounce (28 g) to my regular bran muffin, at 2 1/2 ounces (71 g) to a store bought mega bran muffin that weighed in at 6 1/2 ounces (184 g).

It might be worth investing in a mini muffin or smaller sized regular muffin pan, or just use less batter in a larger pan to reduce the size of muffins you serve.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES PER MUFFIN

MUFFIN PAN HINT There is more chance of overeating with a modern plate, bottom, compared to a traditional one.

The older plates had a wide decorative border of about 1 3/4 inches around the plate. Then the plate dips down to where most of the food is put. On the oldest plate, this area was six inches.

The more modern styles lacked a decorative rim and the plates flattened out more quickly. Virtually all of the square plate could be covered with food, 11 inches.

Many people may be supersizing their meals at home without ever realizing it, depending on the type of plates they use.

Our eyes and minds can play funny tricks on us. If our dinner plate isn’t full, we may feel as though we have had enough to eat. Many diets recommend the use of smaller luncheon plates to help reduce the amount of food that we serve ourselves.

If you are trying to lose weight, take a look at the plate size you are using.

By reducing the plate area, your portion sizes will reduce. Try it for a week and you might discover that your body adjusts to a smaller amount of food and you don’t feel as though you are starving.

MEGA MUFFINS Muffins have grown through the years as well. Older muffin pans would often hold less than four tablespoons (60 mL) of water to fill them 3/4 full. I have a newer pan that requires five tablespoons (75 mL) of water to fill it 3/4 full. I estimated that it would take about 12 tablespoon or three quarters of a cup (175 mL) for the mega-size muffin that I bought at access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

BRAN MUFFINS These muffins contain All-bran cereal and look white so they may be more acceptable to family members who balk at eating whole grains.

2 1/4 c. unbleached all-purpose flour 1 c. granulated sugar 1 c. All-Bran cereal 1/4 c. ground flaxseed 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp salt 2 eggs 2 c. 1% milk 3/4 c. canola oil 2 c. raisins (or cranberries)

560 mL 250 mL 250 mL 60 mL 10 mL 10 mL 1 mL 500 mL 175 mL 500 mL

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 c).

Lightly oil two 12 cup regular size muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray or wipe lightly with an oiled paper towel.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, All-Bran, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl beat the eggs and add the milk and oil and mix. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, add the raisins and mix just until combined.

Fill the prepared muffin tins twothirds full. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and cool in the tins for five minutes. Remove the muffins from the tins and transfer to a rack to cool completely.

These can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days or frozen for up to two months.

Yields 24 regular size muffins.

When washing muffin pans and cookie sheets don’t use a detergent or put them in the dishwasher.

Let them soak in warm water and u s e a d i s h c l o t h t o re m ov e t h e crumbs. The detergent will remove the oily film that helps your baking not to stick. With regular metal pans the repeated oiling will build up an oily film that will require less oiling over time.

On non-stick cookwear, dish detergents will gradually make the nonstick surface less effective. I prefer to use a light spray of oil from a pump bottle or a piece of paper towel dampened with oil. I find many of the aerosol cooking sprays leave a sticky film that requires detergents and scrubbing to remove.

Place caesar steak rolls on a luncheon plate to make them appear larger.

Cut the beefsteak lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/8 to 1/4inch (.3 - .6 cm) thick strips.

In a medium size bowl, toss the beef strips and 1/3 cup (75 mL) dressing together to coat the meat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to two hours.

Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add half the beef; stir fry one to two minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink.

Do not overcook. Remove from skillet; keep warm and repeat with the

remaining beef.

Toss the lettuce with the two tablespoons (30 mL) of dressing and cheese. Divide the salad and meat evenly between the tortillas, add fresh ground black pepper and roll tightly, use the side of a knife to hold the meat and lettuce from moving while rolling. Cut in half on an angle, garnish with extra cheese and serve with a dill pickle or peppers.

ON THE FARM | LAMB PRODUCTION

B.C. nurse, teacher raise sheep, educate customers Professionals operate mixed farm | Couple sells their lamb at a local market and holds farm tours

BY SHANNON MONEO FREELANCE WRITER

METCHOSIN, B.C. — As most farmers look out at snow-covered or bleak fields, Lorraine and John Buchanan prepare to move new lambs and ewes to acres of green grass on Vancouver Island.

The Buchanans operate Parry Bay Sheep Farm in Metchosin, just southwest of Victoria, where their 300 East Friesian-Suffolk-Finn sheep are giving birth to an average of 2.3 lambs, starting in late February.

It will be a busy time for the couple, both in the mid-50s.

They’ve hired Michael Brydges, 21, to help. A rarity today, Brydges is drawn to farm life but because land is so expensive, the only way he can get farm experience is as an apprentice.

Three of the couple’s five children have professional careers, the fourth is attending university and the youngest is in Grade 11. While they all help on the farm, the children were encouraged to get economic security via higher education.

“My youngest son could make way more delivering pizza than working on the farm,” John said.

In fact John and Lorraine, both from non-farm backgrounds, hold part-time jobs to supplement the income from their mixed-farm where they produce sheep, chickens, hay and wheat.

John has a degree in bacteriology and is a nurse at Victoria’s Royal Jubilee Hospital. Lorraine has a music degree and teaches piano at home and marimba at a local Montessori school as well as playing in Chikoro, a marimba band.

The couple began their farm foray in 1980 when they bought a 2.5 acre hobby farm and home in Metchosin.

It remains their only property.

The Buchanans encouraged their children to secure non-farm careers because the couple couldn’t add to their meager land holdings.

Metchosin is a beautiful rural municipality of about 5,000 people that borders the Pacific Ocean, It also happens to have some of the highestvalue properties in the Victoria area, as well as land that can sell for over $200,000 per acre.

But because some of that expensive property is classified as agricultural land, the owners pay lower taxes if the land produces farm income.

Often the owners don’t want to farm their property so they look for farmers to lease.

Here is where the Buchanans come in.

“People approached us for the tax break,” Lorraine said..

With people like the Buchanans farming the land, landowners could conceivably pay taxes of $1,000 instead of $10,000 per year, she said.

For lamb season, John has taken three weeks off from his nurse’s job.

With 300 sheep giving birth until

mid-March, the work will be roundthe-clock. Soon after birth, the lambs are tagged. Each sheep and its ewes also are numbered so that mother and offspring can be matched in the field.

Lorraine said their cross-breed sheep are relatively intelligent mothers who keep tabs on their babies.

“They produce a lot of milk and they can count to three.”

After one day in the barn, they are moved to any of the many pastures the Buchanans rent. The animals are checked three times a day.

Until late June, the grass is plentiful but from then until September, less than 25 millimetres of rain usually falls in the area, leaving the patchwork of fields dry. Much time is spent moving the herds to manage grass growth.

From July until December the lambs go to market. The Buchanans sell their lamb at a farm market they share with Stillmeadow Farm. Each Sunday customers, many driving from Victoria, make their way to Metchosin to buy lamb, mutton, chicken, pork and other farm products.

“It surprises us. The market is out of the way but people come out,” Lorraine said.

Lamb prices start at $6 per pound, while a whole lamb can be bought for $5.50 per pound.

Various Victoria-area butcher shops and grocery stores also carry Buchanans’ lamb and it’s also served in restaurants.

After years of lean profits from the lamb, good times are appearing as local demand steadily increases.

John attributes that to a decline in the U.S. sheep population, the Australian drought that led to a drop in sheep numbers, as well as fewer New Zealand sheep.

Maybe it’s finally time for prices to catch up with input costs, John added.

During their three decades of production, the price of lamb has doubled, but costs have more than doubled, he said.

The couple also generates farm income from wheat sales to a Victoria artisan bakery.

John joked that the combines used on the farm are from the mid-1950s.

“A combine from the 1970s is considered new around here,” he said.

“But we love the sheep the most.

We have to do everything else to make it work,” Lorraine said.

The Buchanans’ flock is bred in the fall. In early December the animals return to the main farm to be fed hay and grain.

Around Christmas the sheep are moved into the barn and later sheared. Last season, the farm got 14, 150 lb. bags of wool.

The animals are kept in the barn at night. During the day they eat grain and bakery goods in the pen.

These bakery goods have essentially replaced the Buchanans’ sheep access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

When the sheep see the white buckets that contain bakery castoffs, they come running. No longer are they herded, and scared, by the sheep dog, Lorraine said.

Predators can also pose problems on the farm. A few years ago, the farm lost 24 lambs to a pack of roving dogs.

Two years ago, cougars got 36 lambs, Lorraine said.

As well, the Canada geese and widgeons, a reddish-brown and grey duck, compete with the sheep for the fresh, tender grass.

The geese, smart and not easily deterred, are becoming a significant problem, John said.

Lorraine likens such challenges to a “really tough board game.

“We have to think of ways to beat it.”

The Buchanans also welcome school tours.

“We like people to come and see what it’s really like,” Lorraine said of city-dwellers who have no idea on their food is produced.

Rarely away from the farm, except perhaps for a brief holiday in the fall, the couple intend to farm “until our bodies give out,” Lorraine said.

HOT FLASHES | TREATMENTS

Menopause medications HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

I am concerned about the side effects of Premarin and prescription hormone replacement medications for menopause. I am getting unpleasant hot flashes and I would like to try some type of herbal or alternative medicine remedy instead. Is black cohosh safe? Does it work?

A:

There have been a few studies on the effectiveness of black cohosh in symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes. Only one found the substance to be significantly better than a placebo. The problem is that the trials were not well designed and there were not enough women tested to be conclusive.

The Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health lists four studies done on a total of 280 women to determine the effectiveness of black cohosh.

One compared the herb to a placebo, another compared it to conjugated estrogens and estrogen-progestin therapy but had no placebo, a third compared it to conjugated estrogens and did have a placebo, and the fourth study was not blinded or placebo-controlled.

The problem with herbal remedies

is that there is no way of knowing exactly how much of any herb is in each pill. They vary from having almost nothing to quite high or toxic doses. However, this situation is improving due to new rules for health foods.

There are reputable medications, including several antibiotics, that were originally derived from plants, fungi and other natural substances.

Black cohosh, also known by its botanical name Cimicifuga racemosa or Actaea racemosa is native to woodlands areas in eastern North America. The roots are used to make the extract. It is most often taken as a tea, up to three cups a day, to relieve hot flashes and night sweats.

It is not an exact science. Some side effects have been noted and some people can be allergic to it. It can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea and can lower blood pressure, which could be a concern for people whose blood pressure is already low.

There have also been a few cases of serious liver damage reported.

Before taking this preparation, have your doctor run blood tests to check that your liver is healthy.

Soybean products have also been found to be helpful for control of menopausal symptoms, but it has to be consumed at every meal to have a noticeable effect.

Another suggestion is a hormone replacement product such as CES that is made from plants. However, the side effects of estrogen will be similar regardless of the source.

PARENTING | FATHERS

Introducing child to parental role Q:

A few weeks ago, you wrote an article in which you talked about potential sibling rivalry between a four-year-old and his baby sister. I would like to tell you about our family.

When our son was 2 1/2 years old, we gave birth to our baby daughter.

My cousin brought us baby gifts for our daughter and a gift for our son.

She gave him a baby doll, complete with a blanket and a bottle and she told our son that when Mommy feeds his baby sister he could feed and rock his baby to sleep, just like Mommy does. Of course, we had prepared our son for his new sister and he happily tended to his doll while I looked after his little sister.

Today he has two children of his own and he is very involved with them. I like to think that the doll that my cousin gave him provided a valuable life experience.

Maybe the four-year-old in your article needs his own baby to look after, just as my son did.

Thank you so much for your letter. We hear so much about emancipated women these days, how life is better for women than it used to be, and how we can look forward to more women assuming executive functions in the future, that we forget that many men have been emancipated as well.

More dads are nurturing their children than ever before. With people like your cousin around, it is clear that more dads are being properly trained to care for their kids.

Dads have been a mystery to children for a long time. Not that long ago,

SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW a good dad was one who put food on the table, supported Mom, and kept his distance from his children.

Your son, as are many fathers, is breaking that tradition and in doing so will get to know his children better than did either his dad or his grandfather before him.

The new world is far from perfect and nurturing fathers are not always celebrated as much as they could be.

But family life is better and we can look forward to even better times in the future.

All of it starts where your cousin started when she gave your son his own doll, with the expectations we set for little children.
