The Commodity Classic brings together the most influential crop organizations from across the United States. What happens there can have far-reaching implications for Canadian farmers. Western Producer reporter Sean Pratt filed these stories from the meetings, held March 3-5 in Tampa, Florida. TAMPA, Fla. — America’s largest and most influential agricultural commodity group is contemplating getting rid of a subsidy that has drawn the ire of Canadian growers.

The National Association of Corn Growers passed a resolution at the 2011 Commodity Classic conference to investigate moving direct payments into other safety net programs.

Observers of U.S. farm policy say it’s the first time one of the main crop groups has seriously contemplated such a move. access=subscriber section=news,markets,none

The federal government is estimating that Agriculture Canada spending will fall by $418.6 million this year as the department’s contribution to deficit reduction. According to spending estimates tabled in parliament, the departmental budget will drop 14 percent to $2.571 billion. However, it is not a simple story of program cuts. The totals represent savings from temporary programs that are expiring, presumptions of reduced investments in business risk management programs and bookkeeping changes that make it look like a funding increase for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is bigger than it really is. The government will also slash spending for Western Economic Diversification by $222.8 million, a 54 percent cut from spending in this fiscal year. It is part of the government’s promise to cut spending in the fiscal year beginning April 1 by $10 billion to reflect the end of the two-year economic stimulus package and to reduce Canada’s record deficit.

FARM POLICY | FROM PAGE ONE

Budget estimates Liberal agriculture critic Wayne Easter attacked the cuts as a betrayal of Canadian farmers by a government whose slogan is “putting farmers first.” He said the Conservatives are trying to balance the books “on the backs of farmers,” a charge thrown at the Liberal government in 1995 after a deficit cutting budget took more than $1 billion out of agriculture spending. Easter was part of that government. “This should end any notion within the farm community that the (Stephen) Harper government was ever sincere about putting farmers first,” Easter said. “Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and his boss Stephen Harper are making policy decisions that are deliberately cutting farm support programs.” Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said Easter’s criticisms are off the mark. “The estimates are exactly that, an estimate,” he said by e-mail. “Our business risk management programs are statutory and will continue to be there for farmers, just like they were there for livestock and grain producers across the West this year because of drought and flood. Unlike the Liberals, who cut agricultural funding, we’ve increased funding on research by almost 40 percent since 2006.” The projected depar tmental spending cuts were unveiled the same week that Agriculture Canada projected a dramatic decline in realized net farm income in 2011 after what the department said was a record year in 2010. The department expects that realized net farm income (gross receipts minus costs and depreciation) will fall 38 percent nationally, 69 percent in Manitoba and 66 percent in Saskatchewan. In British Columbia, realized net farm income is projected at minus $165 million, the third consecutive year of losses. Easter said the dire farm income forecast makes the forecast spending cut all the more damaging. Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett said the Agriculture Canada outlook is a mixed picture for farmers. It projects continued strong commodity prices but also rising costs that will negate much of the benefit of higher prices. “It really is a good news, bad news thing,” he said. “It is important that our programs are properly funded.” The government said more than half the departmental savings will come from programs that were scheduled to end. Almost $50 million will be saved from reductions to the subsidy program for building infrastructure in

FACTS & FIGURES • The Department of Agriculture Act was approved May 22, 1868, creating Agriculture Canada. Today, Agriculture Canada is one of the federal government’s largest and most decentralized departments, employing the equivalent of 6,280 people in offices and research centres across the country. • For more than 40 years, the department’s head offices in Ottawa were in the Sir John Carling building, named after an 1890s agriculture minister and famed beer maker. When the Carling building was condemned several years ago, head offices moved west to Nortel’s sprawling former offices. The building remains unnamed.

• Spending estimates must be tabled in parliament before April 1. The department tries to predict demand for statutory business risk management programs — these are programs that must pay out what is owed during the year no matter what the estimated budget might be.

• Federal spending estimates are just part of the picture. Since agriculture is a shared federal-provincial jurisdiction, provinces pay 40 percent of many programs while federal spending picks up the other 60 percent.

» CORN TO CHINA: The U.S. grain industry the biofuel industry, while the end of a pork industry transition program will save $39.3 million. The end of a two-year program to upgrade federal labs will save almost $20 million. The spending estimates also include an assumption that federal payments into the AgriInvest program will fall by more than $16 million. The department is making no assumptions about AgriRecovery payments this year because disasters cannot be predicted. However, it paid more than $54 million last year and is counting that much as savings this year because it isn’t planning to spend it. The government says it will increase spending in the AgriFlexibility program by almost $50 million in 2011-12. It will also spend $20 million more on a program to help packers cope with higher costs of specified risk material removal. Meanwhile, Western Economic Diversification minister Lynne Yelich told the House of Commons a 54 percent cut in its budget for 2011-12 reflects the fact that many two-year job creation programs under the economic stimulus program are ending.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 10, 2011

PAYING ATTENTION TO CLASS IN SESSION

Group rethinks subsidy Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, was surprised by the news. “I think it’s a real interesting development,” he said. “It’s unusual because they’ve been pretty steadfast for the last number of years in supporting the types of programs they had in place.” Canadian growers find direct payments to be one of the most irritating, production-distorting forms of U.S. farm subsidy, so Bonnett is pleased to hear groups like the corn growers talking about moving that money into more palatable programs like crop insurance. Corn growers weren’t the only farmers discussing the issue at the Commodity Classic. It was also one of the themes explored during a session on farm policy, where there was disagreement on what should be done. Chandler Goule, vice-president of government relations with the U.S. National Farmers Union, said his organization has always opposed direct payments. He’d like to see the $5 billion annual expenditure redirected into other safety net programs such as countercyclical and direct loan payments and the federal crop insurance program. Goule said it’s hard to justify doling out public money to farmers when commodity prices are high. Mary Kay Thatcher, director of public policy with the American Farm Bureau Federation, said there is no appetite in her organization to get rid of direct payments. The proposal has support in the Midwest but she would be “skinned alive” for even raising the topic in the southern part of the country. Thatcher said some growers have the mistaken impression that shifting the money to crop insurance would subsidize their premiums to the tune of 90 to 95 percent. She said at most it would boost the government’s portion to 75 or 80 percent. “Some farmers believe we’ll quit taking a beating in the press from the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post if we don’t have direct payments. I think that’s a fallacy,” said Thatcher. She contends vocal critics of agriculture like the Environmental Working Group would simply shift their ire toward the heavily subsidized crop insurance program. “Unfortunately, I don’t think the hammering ends.” Thatcher said farm groups are reluctant to publicly admit that they’re willing to cut direct payments. But they need to have the discussion behind closed doors and let her know what they’re thinking so she knows what tack she should be taking in Washington. Goule said direct payments used to be a regional issue with growers in the north opposed to it and the cotton, rice and peanut growers in the far south and corn growers in the Midwest in favour of maintaining them. Support for the controversial subsidy appears to be waning in the key corn-growing states where growers have been reading the tea leaves in Washington. “Direct payments are very difficult to defend in the press, so I think that’s why you’re seeing the debate now among the corn growers.”

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | FEE PROPOSAL

Grain commission outlines proposed fee hike Fee increase in phases | The commission is still gathering input BY ADRIAN EWINS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission is proposing a new fee structure designed to achieve complete cost recovery over the five crop years beginning in 2012-13 and ending 2016-17. The agency currently covers about 50 percent of its costs through fees. The ultimate goal is 100 percent cost recovery, which is the maximum allowed by the Canada Grain Act. Last year, the federal government paid $54 million to make up the commission’s budget shortfall. That means farmers and others in the grain industry could be asked to come up with that amount.

The commission said in a March 1 news release it anticipates an overall fee increase of 1.6 percent per year during those five years in order to sustain current service levels for: • grain quality, quantity and safety assurance; • producer protection; • integrity of grain transactions. The 1.6 percent annual increase estimate is based on projected future capital and operational costs, and increases to those costs experienced over the past 20 years. The agency also said the fees outlined in this latest document (which can be viewed on the CGC’s website at www.consultingcanadians.gc.ca.) may differ from the fees that are ultimately proposed in the Canada

Gazette Part 1, at which time there will be further opportunity for comment. During the first two phases of the fee review process, it was suggested that some CGC services and activities provide a public benefit, and therefore the federal government should provide some funding. After the completion of Phase 2, the commission plans to release comments along with a survey of producers conducted in November 2010. Stakeholders will have 30 days, ending March 31, 2011, to make comment. The commission will then develop a formal proposal on user fees to be submitted to federal cabinet for approval. New fees, if approved, will be implemented beginning in 2012-13.

There will be no changes before that date. The total number of fees will be reduced from the current level of around 100 to around 59 through consolidation and elimination of some fees and services. Here are some of the fees proposed as part of Phase 2 of the grain commission review: • Inward weighing of rail cars, trucks and containers — 2012-13, $29 per tonne; 2016-17, $31 per tonne. • Inward inspection of rail cars, trucks and containers — 2012-13, $107.50 per tonne; 2016-17, $114.50 per tonne. • Producer cars — 2012-13, $25 per car; 2016-17, $26.50 per car. • Licensing — 2012-13, $5,983 per year; 2016-17, $6,375.50 per year. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | VITERRA

Railways, Viterra sign deal to improve performance, accountability BY ADRIAN EWINS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Viterra has signed a memorandum of understanding with Canada’s two national railways aimed at improving the efficiency of Canada’s grain transportation system. The agreement, the first such deal to be publicized, is aimed at producing improved supply chain performance and increased accountability

among all parties. Bob Miller, Viterra’s senior vicepresident for Nor th Amer ican grain, described the MOUs as an important step toward definitive operating agreements that will benefit all stakeholders in the grain industry, from farmers to end-use customers. “Viterra is dedicated to driving excellence in the transportation supply chain,” he said, adding that the

company has been investing in infrastructure over the last several years to promote efficient shipment of grains and oilseeds. Mark Hallman, director of communications and public affairs for Canadian National Railways, said the MOU is fully aligned with CN’s “supply chain collaboration and innovation initiatives” with port and container operators and in the coal and wood pulp industries.

“CN remains interested in reaching similar agreements with more customers down the road.” C N ’s S c h e d u l e d G r a i n P l a n enables the railway to deliver specified hopper cars to specified elevators on specified days each week, which means more predictable service. Hallman said the CN Grain Plan is a model for the future in improving the efficiencies of supply chain logistics.

Producers claim heavy losses in missing payments Trucking firm ceases operations | Bond too low to cover producer claims after G & M trucking announced it was unable to pay unsecured creditors BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Cattle producers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan say they had significant losses after G & M trucking ceased operations. | FILE PHOTO

Livestock producers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba say they could be out $2 million after a Winnipeg trucker stopped operating and didn’t pay them. Jason Becker of Calder, Sask., said he hasn’t been paid for two loads of fat cattle that G & M Livestock took to the United States for slaughter in January. He said the American plant contacted him Feb. 14 and told him the trucking company had been paid. “The plant has paid him and he won’t pay us,” Becker said March 2. Producers in his area haven’t been paid for 5 1/2 loads, he added. He has also heard of a producer from Kelliher, Sask., who is out money, as well as a hog producer. He estimates his own loss at $70,000 to $100,000. The Saskatchewan agriculture ministry suspended G & M’s dealer licence Feb. 25 and said producers who hadn’t been paid could make c l a i m s a ga i n s t t h e c o m p a n y ’s bond. G & M owner Gerald Ballegeer did not return phone calls. His company’s Saskatchewan bond is worth only $40,000. “That won’t even cover the cost of one load of cattle, so it’s a joke,” Becker said.

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | EFFICIENCY STUDY

Cam Wilk, the ministry’s manager of livestock inspection, said the bonds are based on the volume of cattle that dealers market each year. For example, those who handle less than 500 head post a bond of $25,000, while those who handle 501 to 20,000 head post $40,000. The maximum bond is $250,000 for dealers who handle more than 200,000 head. Dealers file statutory declarations about how many animals they move and the ministry tracks livestock movement to confirm those numbers. Wilk conceded that the bond in this case isn’t adequate to cover the claims against it, considering that the general rule of thumb is that a load of livestock is worth about $50,000. He said six producers have made claims worth $350,000. The money from the bond will be prorated to eligible claimants once their claims are verified. The ministry plans to ask the industry if a patrons’ assurance fund is needed. It would supplement the bond system rather than take its place. Wilk said there is provision in government regulations to establish such a fund, which means it wouldn’t take long to put in place if the industry decided that’s what it wanted.

The possibility of establishing an assurance fund was also discussed after Arcola Livestock Auction ceased operating in 2003. Becker said he used G & M for five years and didn’t have problems until recently. He said Ballegeer had phoned earlier to say he couldn’t pay him now but would be able to in one to two years. Becker then received a letter Feb. 28 from Ballegeer, which said G & M had ceased operations and was unable to pay its unsecured creditors. “We’re in great financial distress now,” Becker said. “I’m pretty sure our money is gone.” He said there could be other producers in the same situation who he hasn’t heard about. Becker has contacted the RCMP. Sgt. James Morton of Yorkton, Sask., said his detachment is assisting three other detachments: Langenburg has three files, Ituna has one and Rose Valley has one. It is also working with RCMP in Manitoba as well as brand inspectors. Morton said the investigation is complex because it involves two provinces, another country, brokers, tr uckers and many other players. “These are very lengthy and time consuming investigations because of that complexity,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

BSE | REACTION

Public’s response to BSE CWB responsible for inefficiencies in grain movement: Conference Board reflects sector confidence Wheat board says the report’s conclusions are “completely inaccurate” BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Conference Board of Canada says the grain handling and transportation system is less efficient than it could be and it largely blames the involvement of the Canadian Wheat Board. “The logistics process used for CWB-administered grain appears to entail costs that are often higher than those of the commercially driven process for non-CWB grain,” said the Conference Board report prepared for a transportation industry lobby group that includes the two national railways. “This suggests that the transportation system for CWB grains could benefit by migrating to the more commercially oriented approach used for non-CWB grains.” The CWB fired back, disputing the evidence, challenging the conclusions and suggesting the analysis misunderstood the CWB system and mirrored arguments made for years by the railways. “There is no depth of analysis in the sense that they are not looking at any other factors like the behaviour of the railways or the behavior that occurs access=subscriber section=news,none,none

MAUREEN FITZHENRY CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD

at port,” CWB media relations manager Maureen Fitzhenry said. “It’s like they have a pre-determined agenda to examine the wheat board effect on the system in isolation.” She noted that transportation players represented by the Centre for Transportation Infrastructure paid for the study and provided information but shippers including the CWB were not asked for their side. At the core of the Conference Board analysis is the conclusion that while grain transportation efficiency has been improving in recent years based on time the commodity spends in the system, CWB grains still spent an average 57 days in the system in 2008-09 while canola

spent on average 30 days and peas spent 47. Conference Board analysts said it was largely because board grains spend more time in country elevators. It said a key problem is that the wheat board operates a “push system” that calls grain into the system to be available when sales are made. Non-board grains use a “pull system” that gets product into the system in response to a sale. In addition, multiple wheat grades make the system more complicated. “One of the implications of the study is that if the CWB moved to the p u l l s y s t e m, e f f i c i e n c y w o u l d improve,” said Len Coad, Conference Board director for environment, energy and transportation. Fitzhenry said that conclusion underlines the report’s problems. “The huge underlying flaw is that they talk about us using a push system versus a pull system and that is completely incorrect,” she said. “We do use a pull system.” The Conference Board of Canada is a not-for-profit research organization funded through services it charges to private and public sector clients.

The ho hum reaction to Canada’s latest case of BSE shows the country is correctly managing the disease, says the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “The big concern is how people react and people seem to be pretty calm about this,” said John Masswohl, the association’s director of government and international relations in Ottawa. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency notified the CCA and other industry organizations last month after it confirmed that a 77-monthold dairy cow from Alberta had the fatal brain wasting disease. It was Canada’s 18th case. Masswohl said he then notified officials in Washington and other U.S. state cattle organizations. “Their reaction was, ‘thanks for letting us know,’ ” said Masswohl, who also posted the news on his Twitter account to little reaction. Masswohl said the industry never likes to find new BSE cases, but it’s comfor ting that the cases are becoming less common. The last reported case was February 2010. Officials with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the birth access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

farm of the latest case has been identified and the age and location of the infected animal are consistent with previous cases detected in Canada. No part of the animal’s carcass entered the human food or animal feed chains. Dr. Gerald Hauer, Alberta’s chief provincial veterinarian, said the discovery of BSE in an animal that was born after the feed ban is consistent with what happens in other countries. “It’s not totally unexpected. It’s not outside of what we would expect to see.”

BSE IN CANADA • BSE is a fatal disease of the nervous system of cattle • It is included in the family of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, which includes scrapie in sheep, chronic wasting disease in deer and elk, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans • Exact cause is not know, but it is associated with the presence of an abnormal protein called a prion.

2011 COMMODITY CLASSIC | SUBSIDY PROGRAMS

2012 farm bill will pull in reins $14 trillion national deficit | U.S. producers could see up to 38 farm programs eliminated STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TAMPA, Fla. — American farmers are bracing themselves for what they anticipate will be deep cuts to their subsidy programs. Belt-tightening appears to be on the horizon as farm leaders and politicians turn their attention to the 2012 farm bill, which will establish farm policy for the next five years or so. The vast majority of farm bill money is spent on things like nutrition and conservation programs but it also establishes future safety net spending. Commodity groups recognize that the federal government doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to maintain the current level of subsidies and other farm programs. Frank Lucas, chair of the House of Representatives agriculture committee, told growers attending the 2011 Commodity Classic conference that he has been on the committee for three farm bills. “This one is shaping up to be quite a doozy,” he said. Lucas reminded growers that they managed to secure $70 billion in additional funding in the 2002 farm bill and $8 billion more in the 2008 version. “This farm bill is going to be a different story my friends,” he warned. Washington is reining in spending in an attempt to get a handle on the nation’s $14 trillion national debt. “The best case scenario would be to keep what we have going into the next farm bill. But even that’s not possible,” said Lucas. There are 38 programs in the present bill that have no recurring funding. To maintain those programs he would need another $7 to $9 billion and that’s not going to happen. Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said the amount of support Ameri-

can growers receive through the farm bill has been an ongoing bone of contention with Canadian growers so he’s glad to hear the program may be contracting. “If it brings their support levels down more in line with countries like Canada and competing countries, it would be a good thing for us, especially when you start looking at competitiveness on international trade,” he said. Chandler Goule, vice-president of government relations with the U.S. National Farmers Union, said farmers should be prepared for a 17 to 20 percent reduction in spending on the next bill. That’s because the amount budgeted for the 2012 bill is dependent on spending in the 2008 bill and high commodity prices have greatly reduced spending on countercyclical and loan deficiency payments. “The farm bill is continually losing money because we have high prices,” said Goule. Farmers received an indication of where the government may be heading in a recent budget-cutting bill that proposes a $5.2 billion reduction to farm programs and operating budgets for the remaining seven months of 2011. Commodity groups say the bill would slash 22.4 percent of the agriculture budget, which is unfairly targeting agriculture because that is more than double the 10.3 percent cut proposed in overall discretionary spending. They say agriculture has already made a $4 billion down payment in access=subscriber section=news,crops,ag_finance

the form of recent cuts to the federal crop insurance program. “We believe any further reduction in discretionary spending should recognize and reflect this contribution,” said the national corn, soybean, wheat and sorghum associations in a joint statement. Goule said direct payments and other safety net programs are not part of the current budget battle,

which is all about discretionary spending. But everything will be on the table with the farm bill. Biofuel subsidies are also on the chopping block. “We’ve got some folks who say, ‘well, in this fiscal climate, the thing we should do is lop off the incentives for these programs,” said U.S. secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack. “You have to be concerned because

there are forces in our economy that are not particularly supportive of this industry taking root.” In response to that threat, the National Corn Growers Association passed a resolution at the conference supporting reform of the 45 cents per gallon tax credit. Two alternatives being considered are a variable credit or a reduced credit.

U.S. farm economy rebounds, but subsidies will fall: ag official Net income up 20 percent | American producers were told to brace for a cut in farm supports in the government’s effort to reduce the deficit TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack delivered the good news first. “This is going to be a good year overall for farm country,” he told delegates attending the main session of the 2011 Commodity Classic conference. His department is forecasting $94.7 billion in net farm income, a 20 percent increase over last year, which was up 34 percent from the previous year. It will be the second highest inflation adjusted farm income in the last

three decades. “That’s certainly good news,” said Vilsack. Crop receipts are expected to be up 14 percent to $24.1 billion, led by

corn, cotton, soybeans and wheat. In two short years, the U.S. farm economy will have rebuilt the equity it lost in the economic downturn. The real value of farm assets is expected to be in excess of $2 trillion by the end of this year. “We’ve basically recouped all of what we lost in 2009,” he said. Vilsack encouraged farmers to consider purchasing equipment this year because a new program allows them to expense 100 percent of a tractor, combine or seeder in a single year.

Agriculture exports are projected to reach $135.5 billion in 2011, up $20 billion over last year’s levels. “It will be a record year,” he said. Every $1 billion in exports generates an additional $1.4 billion in economic activity and supports 8,000 jobs. The department has a mandate to increase trade with a focus on countries where there are increasing middle classes. China is the best example of the kind of market being targeted. “We now can say without any ques-

tion that China is our number one customer. They surpassed Canada in 2010,” he said. Vilsack saved the bad news for the tail end of his speech. He told growers they’ll be facing an uphill battle maintaining the level of support they have in the 2008 farm bill. “We’re going to have a very interesting conversation about the farm bill if for no other reason than we do have to get serious about the deficit.” FOR MORE FROM THE COMMODITY CLASSIC, SEE PAGES 6, 7, 14.

2011 COMMODITY CLASSIC | CORN EXPORTS

Grain group expects China corn imports to soar Livestock feed needed for 650 million hogs STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TAMPA, Fla. — The U.S. Grains Council thinks China will buy a lot more corn than the United States Department of Agriculture is forecasting, leading to a further contraction of already tight stocks. That has the potential to push corn prices higher, which would support all grain prices. The council sees a minimum of three million tonnes of Chinese demand for U.S. corn in 2011, which it says is about double what the USDA predicts. “But I would not be surprised to see it be as high as 7.4 million tonnes, which is the trade rated quota,” said council president Thomas Dorr. That is the amount of corn China can bring into the country duty-free. China has been mum on its corn inventories but a recent statement by the president of the China Grain Reserves Corp. indicates mounting concerns about dwindling supplies. Agrimoney.com reports that Bao Kexin is urging restrictions on exports of the grain and on its use in the ethanol industry. “Corn shall be used mainly for animal feed and large volumes used for industry should not be allowed,” he said. Dorr told delegates at a session on China at the 2011 Commodity Clas-

sic conference that his numbers come from trusted Chinese sources who estimate three million tonnes of U.S. corn imports in 2011, five million in 2012 and a minimum of 15 million by 2015. Given tight U.S. supplies in 2010-11, the council has been trying to convince Chinese buyers that they need to buy corn early and regularly. Dorr said it is unlikely China will buy much corn before the end of March but it could be in the market for a substantial amount after April 1. “The problem is right now if we tried to tack on those kinds of numbers in our present supply and demand situation it would raise some real challenges,” he told delegates. China has been largely self-sufficient with corn supplies. But a rapidly expanding middle class is hungry for meat and China’s estimated 650 million hogs are hungry for corn. It is estimated that 234 million Chinese families will be added to the middle class between now and 2020. In order to feed the bulging middle class, the country has been forced to start importing feed for livestock. It began by importing 600,000 tonnes of U.S. distillers grain in the last half of 2009. There are no rules impeding trade of DDGs. In 2010, China imported three million tonnes of distillers grains and 1.5 million tonnes of U.S. corn. access=subscriber section=markets,crops,none

The U.S. Grains Council thinks corn exports to China could be as high as 7.4 million tonnes. | Dorr said the future buying potential of the country is staggering. China imported 57 million tonnes of soybeans in 2010 and grew three million tonnes. That volume would produce 40 million tonnes of meal. Using the formula that for every six pounds of energy you need one pound of protein to make a concentrated livestock ration, that results in an innate demand for 240 million tonnes of corn or corn equivalent. Another 60 million tonnes of the crop is being ground for food. That’s a total of 300 million tonnes

of corn or corn equivalent demand in a country that produced about 172 million tonnes of the crop last year. “We can do the math and we realize that there is a market here for a lot of corn,” said Dorr. He is “90 percent sure” the crop has been removed from the list of grains for which China has a policy of being 95 percent self-sufficient. Mark Petry, former agricultural attaché at the U.S. embassy in Beijing, said those kinds of calculations make the Chinese nervous. “They’re very insecure about the

changes taking place the last 10 years in agriculture and the fact that they have to import so much,” he said. Chinese politicians are rethinking their food security policy. Petry said that presents an opportunity for U.S. exporters to pitch the idea that U.S. growers are part of China’s food security solution. “That is a difficult lesson for them to internalize because unfortunately in many cases, they think that American farmers are somehow enemies.” FOR MORE MARKETS, SEE PAGES 46, 47.

2011 COMMODITY CLASSIC | CHINA SELF-SUFFICIENCY

China’s corn imports climb, years after book raises hackles TAMPA, Fla. — China is developing a hunger for U.S. corn 15 years after a provocative book spoiled its appetite for the product, says the U.S. Grains Council. Council president Thomas Dorr told delegates attending the 2011 Commodity Classic conference that corn would have been exported to China years ago if it hadn’t been for a controversial book written by Lester Brown, former head of the Worldwatch Institute. His 1995 book, W ho Will Feed

SHOW US YOUR TANDEM TRUCK. AND YOU CAN

China?: Wake-Up Call for a Small Planet, postulated that the new China would need to import 200 million tonnes of corn a year. “It so upset the Chinese leadership that they said, ‘we’ll show you,’ ” said Dorr. It wasn’t the suggestion that China would have to import corn that made them angry. Rather, it was the tone of the book and its insinuation that China couldn’t be self-sufficient. China had set aside 65 to 75 million acres of land that was going to be

seeded to high-value horticulture crops. “Because of that particular book, that slight if you may, they decided they would do otherwise,” said Dorr.

The land was instead planted to corn and the crop joined wheat and rice on a list of cereal grains for which China wanted to be 95 percent selfsufficient. Chinese farmers honed their growing skills to the point where they are generating average yields of 80 to 85 bushels an acre. Production estimates for 2010 are 158 to 172 million tonnes of corn. That’s not enough to satisfy the demands of the country’s growing middle class, which is increasingly incorporating meat from corn-fed

livestock into its diet. “Once you’ve had a Big Mac you don’t go back,” said Dorr. China began importing U.S. corn in the last half of 2009 and the grains council believes volumes could reach 15 million tonnes by 2015. Dorr said it’s the first time the council is seeing tangible results after 30 years of market development work in the country. He can only imagine how different things would have been if it hadn’t been for Brown’s controversial book. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

BARLEY | PROFIT PROBABILITY

WINTER WHEAT | DROUGHT

Barley pencils out poorly

U.S. winter wheat crop appears to be in trouble

Competing crops look better | Low expectations likely to shrink acres BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Profit calculators assessing net returns from crops planted this spring put feed barley at the bottom of the list and malting barley about halfway up. That’s the major reason the Canadian Wheat Board expects barley acres to climb only a little. “An increase in the (Pool Return Outlook) should help . . . but we have found the return on feed barley, if you’re not going to get malt or there’s a risk of not getting malt, is one of the lower returns of all commodities,” said CWB barley marketing and sales manager Lorelle Selinger at the board’s GrainWorld conference. The CWB forecasts an 8.5 million tonne Canadian barley crop, up from 2010’s weather-plagued 7.6 million tonnes but still less than the five year average of 9.9 million tonnes. The 2011-12 PRO for select two-row malting barley is $337 per tonne at port compared to the current 201011 PRO of $253 and six-row is $320, up from $236. But the feed barley PRO has edged up only to $257 per tonne in 2011-12 from $234 in the current crop year. Even if malting PROs are much stronger, that low feed PRO will likely discourage barley seeding, said Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications. “I don’t think it’ll shift acres,” said Anderson. “Certainly it’s much better news,

but I think the push is going to be on canola.” The profitability numbers Selinger showed during her presentation, estimated by Saskatchewan Agriculture, put durum and canola at the top of the profitability scale, malting barley and spring wheat in the middle and feed barley at the bottom. Mike Krueger of The Money Farm in Fargo, N.D., believes few American farmers will increase feed barley area because it looks less profitable than other crops. “If they try to raise barley they will do it under malting contracts,” said Krueger. “My sense is that (malting) barley people want to get more acres,” said Krueger about buyers for the brewing industry. “I don’t think there has been as big a response to their contracts as they would like.” Barley prices have sagged, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 2008-09, the average farmgate price was $5.37 per bushel for barley. In 2009-10 it was $4.66 and in 201011, USDA predicts $3.80 to $4 per bu. Krueger said if forecasts for a delayed spring seeding season come true, it will discourage barley seeding because farmers in his area have better short-season crops. “The later we are, the more it will hurt barley,” said Krueger. The opposite is true in Canada. Barley is one of the better choices in a

late spring. “That could … put some acres in the ground where they have lost their window to put in other crops,” said Selinger. Overall, the outlook for barley prices is bullish. Global feedgrain stocks are low, malting barley buyers are “running on fumes,” world use of barley in 2011-12 will likely once more surpass barley production and world barley stocks will continue to decline. In 2009-10, the world ending stocks of barley were over 40 million tonnes, but that is expected to fall to about 30.4 million tonnes in 2010-11 and will likely fall to 27.4 million t o n n e s by t h e e n d o f 2 0 1 1 - 1 2 , Selinger said. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none section=markets,crops,news

TAMPA, Fla. — It is too early to know the full extent of winterkill and drought damage to the U.S. winter wheat crop, but industry leaders say it doesn’t look good. Crop reports in three states that account for 49 percent of 2011 winter wheat acres paint a grim picture. Forty percent of the crop was rated poor or very poor in Kansas and 56 percent fell into the same categories in Texas as of March 6. Oklahoma hadn’t released its latest report as of press time but 42 percent of the crop was poor or very poor as of Feb. 28. Those numbers are much worse than last year at this time and are reminiscent of 2006, a drought year that resulted in a U.S. average yield of 41.7 bushels per acre, well below the 2010 average of 46.8 bu. “The winter wheat crop is not a bumper crop by any means,” said David Cleavinger, past president of the National Association of Wheat Growers. U.S. farmers seeded 41 million acres of winter wheat in 2011, up 10 percent from the previous year. In its February Pool Return Outlook for the 2010-11 crop, the Canadian Wheat Board said all eyes are on the 29.6 million acres planted to hard red winter wheat. “World attention will be focused on

DAVID CLEAVINGER NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WHEAT GROWERS

the progress and condition of the U.S. hard red winter crop as the prime indicator of the depth and degree of quality wheat availability in the early portion of the 2011-12 marketing year,” said the CWB. U.S. Wheat Associates president Alan Tracy said the fortune of the crop rides on how much winterkill occurred. If the crop is alive, it can recover from drought. “If it’s dead, it can’t,” he said. Cleavinger said severe drought has undoubtedly reduced hard red winter wheat yield potential, but it could be worse. “We don’t think it’s as bad as the 2006 levels right now,” he said. And there is potential for recovery. “Wheat is a plant of nine lives,” said Cleavinger.

Surprising harvests can follow terrible spring seeding MARKET WATCH

arkets supported by seeding fears can fall if summer weather turns fine. Snow was expected in the central

and northern Prairies this week, a development we don’t need. There already is a lot of snow in most of the Prairies and in the U.S. Upper Midwest. Only southern Alberta looks like it will be spared a heavy runoff this spring. March has roared in like a lion; we’ll see if it goes out like a lamb. Alas, the woolly creatures might be shivering because the La Nina weather system in the Pacific has not yet dissipated. The clearest effects of the current La Nina were in December-January when Argentina suffered drought

and Australia flooding. Most models show the La Nina weakening to neutral by late spring, but there is a small chance it could linger into summer. For months we have worried that a lingering La Nina would cause a cool spring in Canada that would impede seeding. That fear is providing strong support to canola prices. The danger of a bad spring also applies to northern parts of the U.S. corn growing region. Analysts raise the potential for a repeat of 2008, also a La Nina year,

when a cold, wet spring delayed corn seeding, helping to push corn to its record peak of $7.65 US per bushel. In May that year, analysts speculated delayed seeding would knock corn yields down seven percent. But tenacious U.S. farmers got their crops in the ground and a combination of good seed genetics and lucky summer weather produced an average U.S. yield of 153.9 bushels per acre, up two percent from the year before. The improved corn crop and global financial melt down caused crop

prices to tank. By December, corn bottomed at less than $3 per bu. The lesson is that although current crop prices are down from recent highs, they are still strong because of the seeding worries. But farmers will seed anything they can and with luck can get good crops even after a bad start. And events outside the grain market, like soaring fuel prices caused by unrest in the Arab world, can sap demand. It is a good idea to consider marketing options that limit your risk. access=subscriber section=markets,crops,new section=markets,crops,news

The Canfax weighted average steer price fell 19 cents to $104.08 per hundredweight last week and heifers edged seven cents lower to average $103.35. Total sales volume remained light at 13,014 head. Packers have been disciplined buyers, reducing kill rather than chasing cattle prices higher. Feedlots have slowed their marketing but remain current. Cold weather has slowed cattle performance. Carcass weights are almost 20 pounds lighter than last year. Year to date exports to the United States are down 23 percent at 68,119 head. The strong loonie is keeping a lid on the cattle market. Cattle prices could stay in a narrow range until the weather warms and beef demand rises.

U.S. Choice cutouts closed March 3 at $172.88 US per cwt., up $2.52. Select surged $2.57 to close at $172.38. Weekly Canadian slaughter to Feb. 26 was 48,739 head, down from 54,906 the previous week.

Supply and demand was roughly in balance. Exports to South Korea are strong. The United States and Mexico settled a dispute over trucking, which should improve pork exports to Mexico. The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast that U.S. pork exports globally would climb 28 percent by 2020. There are concerns that high energy prices could cause consumers to scale back meat buying. Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants were steady at $62 US per cwt. March 4, the same as Feb. 25. The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value was $91.25 March 4, down from $92.08 Feb. 25.

Russia ponders extended ban TAMBOV, Russia (Reuters) — Russia, worried by soaring food prices and a shortage of feed grain, may extend its ban on grain exports until the end of the year, said deputy prime minister Viktor Zubkov. “We see what is happening on the food markets, and we don’t see any improvement,” he said. Last year’s drought prompted Russia to ban exports until July 1. Future action will depend partly on the new crop and on livestock feed demand. “It’s not just the volume (of the harvest) that will determine whether to lift the ban or not. There are a lot of factors, like which cereals we’ll have and how much,” said Zubkov. access=subscriber section=markets,crops,news

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | FEE HIKE

CRAIG’S VIEW

Share costs of CGC services with producers, public Just as it is fair for the commission to institute fee increases to cover increased expenses incurred during the past 15 years, it is also fair to ask society at large to pay its fair share.

t’s a sure thing that farmers will see Canadian Grain Commission fees increase in the near future. The question that remains is how much? The grain commission has not raised fees since 1991, so nobody in the industry is likely to doubt the need. Back then, the commission’s charges covered about 90 percent of its costs, but rising expenses have pushed the yearly deficit higher. Last year, the federal government paid $54 million to make up the shortfall. But the commission plan seems to ignore that many others besides farmers and the grain industry benefit from its services. The commission wants to recover 100 percent of its costs through fees, and that has made many in the grain industry rightfully nervous. In theory, that could push an additional $50 million in costs per year, or about $1.50 per tonne, onto the backs of farmers. A more fair division of costs would increase fees in cases of direct benefit and use public money to fund services that offer a wider public benefit. Key services the grain commission provides include: • grain grading and inspection; • scientific research on grain quality and grading and safety assurance; • producer protection when delivering to licensed grain handing facilities through bonding requirements and sample testing; • protection of Canada’s reputation as a consistent and reliable exporter; • regulating grain quality standards; • regulating grain safety standards through testing and certification of producer deliveries; • issuing grain quality analysis reports and export quality reports;

• accrediting third party auditors of grain quality and assurance systems. Commission services that focus on safety and research clearly benefit a wider group than just farmers and the grain industry. Food safety is a top concern among a large percentage of consumers. As such, it’s fair to ask taxpayers to help fund projects in this area. Research, as well, extends benefits across a wide range of interests and deserves to be funded from the public purse. Research has also been shown to have extensive spin-off effects that reach well beyond the initial beneficiaries of the funding. Commission services that protect Canada’s international reputation as a reliable supplier are also of benefit to a wider public. In addition, questions have been raised about the commission’s continued ability to properly function under total cost recovery. Can it continue to provide the best inspection services and be focused on quality and safety if its prime directive is complete cost recovery? To its credit, the grain commission has taken sound steps in gathering suggestions from the industry before proceeding. As well, the proposed plan would increase the fees gradually at a rate of 1.6 percent beginning in 2012-13 and until 2016-17. But just as it is fair for the commission to institute fee increases to cover increased expenses incurred during the past 15 years, it is also fair to ask society at large to pay its fair share. Those who benefit both directly and indirectly all have a stake in ensuring a strong, safe and efficient system.

LIBERAL PLATFORM | MICHAEL IGNATIEFF

Do Liberal party promises stand a chance if it forms government? NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

n the hours after Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff spoke and fielded questions at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting in late February, the hallway buzz was positive. He was well briefed, comfortably handled questions, appeared to know the nuance and detail of issues raised, and neatly made the connection between farmers and his Toron-

to riding where a majority of jobs are food industry related. Considering he had appeared in 2009 just weeks after becoming leader and gave a somewhat wooden performance, Ignatieff seems to have disproved the adage that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. However, the promises the Liberal leader was making and presumably will campaign on when the election breaks out are another matter. Farmers who liked what they heard should carefully weigh whether prime minister Ignatieff or agriculture minister Wayne Easter could actually do much of what is being promised. Key to the Liberal promises is a new national food policy that includes federal funding for provincially

designed programs aimed to meet specific local farmer needs. Key to the Liberal promises is a pledge that government will rewrite national farm policy based on farmer instructions through consultations. Beyond agriculture policy, Ignatieff also is promising money for rural high-speed broadband, student loan forgiveness to attract more medical professionals to rural areas and a tax break for rural volunteer fight fires. The latter non-agricultural promises are eminently achievable if in government, Liberals are as pro-rural Canada as they are in opposition. The promise to rewrite agriculture policy is more problematic. For more than two decades since Don Mazankowski was Progressive Conservative agriculture minister and blanched at Ottawa’s massive

share of agricultural spending despite it being a shared federalprovincial jurisdiction, the emphasis in Ottawa has been making sure shared jurisdiction translates into shared responsibility. Liberal minister Ralph Goodale in the 1990s established the 60-40 federal-provincial funding split. Liberal minister Lyle Vanclief in the early years of the new century wrote the principle in stone by negotiating the first Agricultural Policy Framework with provinces. Conservative Gerry Ritz reaffirmed the principle of federal-provincial sharing with the 2008 launch of Growing Forward. The bottom line of these two decades of federal-provincial evolution is that Ottawa can no longer announce a new agriculture policy.

It has to be painstakingly negotiated with ministers from 10 provinces and three territories, many of whom consider any proposal to build in richer farm supports as a non-starter. The rules of the federal-provincial deal is that any change must be approved by Ottawa and at least seven provinces representing more than 50 percent of Canadian agricultural production. So the Liberals can promise the moon. They will be able to deliver exactly what the provinces will let them. That is not to say that a prime minister or a federal agriculture minister is powerless to promote change. But the days are long gone when Ottawa can announce unilaterally a new farmer-friendly, costly agricultural policy and expect provinces to go along. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

& OPEN FORUM INTRODUCTIONS | NEW JOURNEY CWB LAKERS | ECONOMIC PERILS

Ship purchase beyond CWB mandate Rolf Penner, Manitoba vice-president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, says the board is putting farmers’ money at risk

An interesting time to join an interesting newspaper EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

shocking announcement early this month has erased all doubt as to the level of contempt that the Canadian Wheat Board holds for Western farmers. The CWB purchased two brand new ships for the purpose of transporting grain across the Great Lakes. Prairie farmers with no choice in the matter will finance the $65 million purchase over four years. Adding further insult, the CWB erroneously claims that prairie farmers will become “owners” of these ships. As Morris Dorosh pointed out in his newsletter, Agriweek, “Prairie farmers will not own them because Prairie farmers do not own the board. The beneficial owner will be the board’s sole shareholder: the taxpayer of Canada.” In other words, the federal government will own the ships. At the CWB’s news conference, chair Allen Oberg talked about the strong business case for buying these lakers and how doing so would supposedly put extra money in farmers’ pockets. This may or may not be the case. No matter what degree of due diligence done, no one ever knows these things for sure until long after they are set in motion. Mr. Oberg and company are speculating. They are doing so with other people’s money. This really is the crux of the whole matter. It is not up to the CWB, a government legislated monopoly, to decide how best to invest farmers’ hard-earned money for them. It is illegal for prairie farmers to sell their milling wheat and malting barley to anyone other than the CWB, which puts the agency in a very privileged position.

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

MICHELLE HOULDEN ILLUSTRATION

The board holds farmers’ grain and money in trust for them. It is not Mr. Oberg’s or the CWB’s money to do with as they please. To spend it in this way is an abuse of trust, an abuse of power and goes well beyond the board’s mandate of marketing grain. Others have pointed out that farmers have not been consulted about this purchase. Many feel blindsided by the announcement, and rightly so. In the recent director elections, for instance, none of the incumbent directors campaigned on the issue of buying ships, even though they had to have known about the plan to purchase them. Nor was there any mention of ships in last year’s annual producer survey. But so what if they had consulted? And so what if a sizable chunk of farmers were in favour of the idea? The CWB board of directors would still have no business going ahead with this scheme because it’s not their own money they are putting at risk. Federal wheat board minister Ger-

ry Ritz was clearly not happy with this decision. When asked about it in question period, his response was, “I have constantly told the wheat board that farmers’ money in the pool accounts is off limits to it. It should not be misappropriated like this.” But we have yet to hear what the minister responsible for the CWB intends to do about this misappropriation of growers’ funds. To do nothing should not be an option. The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association would like to see minister Ritz do one of two things: either direct the CWB to stop the purchase entirely, or at the very least give wheat and barley producers the ability to opt out of funding the purchase if they so choose. Ontario Conservative MP Bruce Stanton recently brought forward a private member’s bill that called for changes to the federal Wheat Board Act. The reforms would allow farmers to opt out entirely from having the wheat board market their grain. Ulti-

mately, this is what needs to happen. The CWB has to evolve from a compulsory organization into a voluntary one. Prairie farmers have a moral right to their grain, but they also need the legal right to sell their grain to whomever they choose — as is the case elsewhere in Canada. But private member’s bills have a difficult time being passed into actual laws and even the most optimistic timeline would only see Mr. Stanton’s bill come into effect sometime in 2013 or possibly 2014. Minister Ritz is going to have to act faster than that if he wishes to safeguard farmer funds. Someone at the online farmer forum Agri-ville started a “name the CWB ships” contest. One person suggested the “HMS Held” and the “HMS Captive.” This aptly sums up how many farmers feel, not only about how they are being forced to pay for these ships, but the entire wheat board system. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

HIGH DEBT | LOWER SAVINGS

Borrowing against our future puts country’s potential at risk MORAL ECONOMY

NETTIE WIEBE

“A

nother day older and deeper in debt”. These famous words from the 1955 Tennessee Ernie Ford song Sixteen Tons describe the financial situation of coal miners. But they ring true for many Canadian families today. A recent study by the Vanier Institute shows that the debt load of the average Canadian household has gone over

the $100,000 mark for the first time. At the end of 2010, Canadian families owed $100,879 on average. The debt-to-income ratio is at a record 150 percent, up almost 80 percent from two decades ago. That means that for every $1,000 Canadian families earn after tax, they now owe $1,500. Mortgages account for two-thirds of that debt while personal loans and credit card debt make up the rest. Slightly more than half of Canadian households owe money on mortgages. They are more heavily indebted than the average, but as long as housing prices are strong, their assets offer some security. However, if housing prices fall or interest rates rise, they are very far from secure, as millions of families who lost their homes in the U.S. meltdown can testify. The farm debt situation is even

worse. Canadian farm debt now stands at about $64 billion. Like their urban counterparts, farm families are piling up debts much faster than their incomes are rising. In the 1970s farm families bore $3.40 worth of debt for each dollar earned in net income. By the 1980s, the ratio had risen to $7.42 and in the following decade it jumped again to $10.47. As we enter 2011, farmers are carrying more than $23 in debt for each dollar of net income earned. The pattern is obvious. Canadian families are going deeper into debt with lower odds of being able to repay those debts from their earnings. And, not surprisingly, they are saving less so their cushion for future downturns is smaller. There is more at stake than bank accounts. Families, farms and whole

communities are more vulnerable and less stable. Excessive debt loads cause insecurity and anxiety. Whereas most Canadian families used to anticipate owning their own homes, many now aspire only to be able to pay the rent. Investor, rather than farmer-owned land, is being touted as the new norm. Economic structures that encourage or force families to borrow too much don’t only diminish the future for those families, but shrink the potential of the entire country. Everybody has a stake in preventing the despair that follows a ‘financial meltdown’ of unpayable debt. As our neighbours to the south demonstrate, climbing out is pretty tough.

his is the first thing I have ever written for The Western Producer. It’s a great day in my life. I’ve read the Producer for years, always with a sense of awe at the excellent reporting, the fathomsdeep (acres-wide?) knowledge of agriculture, the beauty of the photography and the quality of the writing. The staff members are legendary for their commitment to the product, and it shows — every week in print, and every day online. I managed to convince the paper that I deserve to work here, too. I hope I’m right. Everything I had been told about the high quality of the people here was understated, I have realized in four short days. I am honoured to be here, and humbled by the above-mentioned deep knowledge and work ethic. I will try to keep up. It’s a particularly interesting time to come into the Producer fold, because it looks like it might be a particularly interesting spring. Not too many of us on the Prairies will soon forget the soggy summer of 2010, and we could be bracing for another drenching — on top of the significant snowfall we have not enjoyed this winter. That brings me to Producer coverage over the next several weeks. You will regularly see a muddy little boot print accompanying a number of stories, alongside a short explanation that we are covering the issues of “working in the mud.” That includes seeding advice and advances. Last week, for instance, Ron Lyseng wrote a story on TechnoTill packer plates that “slither through mud like skis.” Al Lowe from Meacham, Sask., found that his rig was sliding down hillsides last spring, but the plates helped him dig in and get the seeding done. It remains to be seen whether this spring will be as insanely wet as the last, but the odds are fairly high considering how saturated many fields were even before the snow fell. (Not everyone is battling the wet conditions. Farmers in the northern Alberta-B.C. Peace region were fighting drought last year.) Most of Saskatchewan’s growing region, and much of Alberta’s and Manitoba’s, have accumulated 100 to 200 millimetres of precipitation just since September, and that’s after the wettest spring and summer in living memory. These are interesting times, indeed. We’ll be there to dig out the stories.

RAILWAY OVERCHARGING To the Editor: Of course it is painful for Brian Storseth, MP for Westlock-St. Paul, to watch

the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) put hundreds of millions of extra dollars in farmers’ pockets each and every year. But his recent attacks to kill the board are unwarranted. Perhaps he should put his energy into doing something real and tangible to cut down transportation costs for farmers. Transportation is part of marketing, and marketing and pricing are not the same thing. Everyone must remember that grain marketing is a business, and the business case for the lakers is one that cannot be ignored. The CWB has been involved in the ownership of grain hopper cars since the 1970s, so owning two lakers to continue that transportation link out to the St. Lawrence is not a stretch. Now grain carried in the farmers’ hopper cars will be transferred onto the farmers’ lakers, with the income

earned going right back into the pool accounts. The CWB estimates that the lakers will pay for themselves in seven years, and after that they will contribute $10 million back into the pooling accounts each year. The farmers’ hopper cars are putt i n g m i lli o n s i nt o t h e p o o li n g accounts each year right now. Just as with the lakers, some of the farmers that paid for the hopper cars and then retired are not sharing in the current cash benefits, but the hopper cars are rewarding current farmers with service and cash. The new lakers will carry more grain, and carry it faster with less expense, and a more efficient transportation system means better marketing. For five long years, Storseth and the Conservative party have been sitting idly by and watching the railways overcharge farmers to the tune of $200 million each and every year.

That’s a billion dollars taken away from farmers and the western economy under the Conservative’s watch. Instead of attacking the CWB for putting more money in farmers’ pockets, why don’t Storseth and his well-lobbied friends in Ottawa take action on railway overcharging? Mandy Melnyk, Waskatenau, Alta.

SURVEY CREDIBILITY To the Editor: Re: CWB changes urged: survey, Feb. 10 issue. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released results of a survey that show the dissatisfaction with the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB). (CWB spokesperson) Maureen Fitzhenry is quick

to point out that the CFIB holds a particular ideological viewpoint in favour of the open market, and the survey questions and results lack credibility. Fitzhenry states, “This is designed to produce a particular result and support the ideological perspective of this group.” Then she adds that “the board conducts its own customer satisfaction surveys, and the results, published on a regular basis, are generally positive.” Fortunately, using Ms. Fitzhenry’s logic we can conclude that any survey done and reported by the CWB lacks credibility since the CWB holds a particular ideological viewpoint in favour of monopoly control over western Canadian farmers. Given the fact that the CWB surveys are designed to produce a particular result and support the monopoly, it is shocking that the results are barely positive, and definitely negative with regard to barley. This should show the CWB that farmers want the CWB to be an option and not an obstacle. Greg Petryshyn, Foam Lake, Sask.

When the federal government decides to put a highway through a town or new power lines across a province, many impact studies and town meetings are held to study how we will all be affected before a decision is made. As the process progresses, individual landowners are compensated by the federal government at fair market prices and new roads and services are provided. The federal government recently expropriated large tracts of farmland and lake front properties in the Humboldt area of Saskatchewan. This was not for a highway or new services and not with any notice or intent of public meetings. The federal Department of Environment made a decision to force the closure of the culvert under grid 777. This in turn has caused large areas of farm and recreational property to be flooded. As a result of this expropriation of land, the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority has been sent in to clean up a mess that they have been fighting to stop. The authority has opposed the federal decision to close the culvert as it obstructs the natural flow of water in the area. As a matter of fact, the cost of berms raising land … has cost the provincial department millions of dollars and just the maintenance and upgrade of these berms is projected at nearly $20 million. Why is it that a provincial department is paying for a federal decision that they oppose? … The concerns of the local landowners stop with the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, not the federal environment department, which should be atoning for its decisions. Maybe if the Federal Department of Environment had held town meetings and talked to the Town of CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Humboldt about the future land expropriations they would be making by flooding land in the area, a true cost of such a decision could be made before it was enacted, instead of throwing money at it in hindsight. I guess it really is easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission and the only way the federal government will be forgiven is if it steps up with some real and fair compensation for the parties who are suffering.

CLUBROOT HELP To the Editor: I read with interest the article published in the Jan. 27 issue of the West-

ern Producer, entitled “Edmonton area cited as disease hot spot”, by Mary McArthur. It provided a good overview of the current clubroot situation in Alberta. I should add, however, that the article made no mention of the University of Alberta’s important role in clubroot surveillance activities. We have been leading the provincial clubroot surveys, in close collaboration with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (AARD) and the agricultural fieldman in each municipality, since 2004. Indeed, the maps that are produced by AARD are based on the maps that we publish in the Canadian Plant Disease Survey, with some modifications to reflect regulatory considerations. Clubroot is a serious issue and requires an integrated and team approach. Working together, the municipalities, AARD, Agriculture and Agri-

Miles Moore, Outlook, Sask.

To the Editor: It seems to me that Brian Otto and I agree on more than he might like to admit (CWB elections show need for changes, February 24). For a start, CWB directors would also have preferred a higher voter turnout in the recent CWB elections, especially as turnout in the 2008 director elections had reached a record high. But to put things in perspective, turnout in 2010 was consistent with levels we’ve seen in previous director elections and, at 41 per cent, it was certainly much higher than voter

turnout in the two most recent federal by-elections in Western Canada: 26.2 percent in Dauphin-Swan RiverMarquette and 30.8 percent in Winnipeg North. I’m glad also that Mr. Otto agrees with the board’s focus on speeding up farmer payments. For the record, the board of directors is advocating that the CWB take over financial responsibility for adjustment, interim and final payments, thus eliminating the six- to 10-week government approval period. Perhaps Mr. Otto would like to help the CWB in its efforts to convince the Government of Canada to improve cash flow to prairie farmers in this way.

ittle boys can be a jumble of emotions and often only vent those emotions by acting out. That’s what happened to six-yearold Stephen. His aunts told the story as we sat around a dinner table at the Naramata Conference Centre. Until recently, Stephen had been a model child — thoughtful, obedient, always willing to help. Suddenly, it was as if his whole self was turned upside down. Nobody could get to the bottom of what was happening underneath his anger and tears. Finally, the family decided to use a tradition passed on by elders. Everyone was called to sit around the table and talk about their concerns. The talking stick was brought out of a drawer. Each person, when they were given the stick, could talk without interruption for as long as they wanted. When it came to Stephen’s turn, words would not form in his confused young brain. The family waited with him. For five hours they waited while Stephen struggled. Finally his thoughts found words. He had overheard two of his favourite aunts talking. One said she was going to train to be a nurse. The other wanted to become a teacher. Stephen felt betrayed. All the nurses and teachers he knew were white. “If they do that, does that mean they are going to become white?” he asked. The talking stick tradition worked. Family members knew they had to wait for Stephen to find his voice. The rest of us could borrow the talking stick tradition, while reminding ourselves it’s not easy to talk about our deepest fears. When those fears are given voice, others find ways to show their love and care.

U.S. growers push for more trade deals Growers say they are losing market share STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. farm groups are pressuring president Barack Obama to live up to his promise to give trade a more prominent role in his economic recovery agenda. They want the president to submit three free trade agreements to Congress for ratification. Growers say they are losing ground to producers from other countries that are exporting farm products to South Korea, Panama and Colombia. The National Association of Wheat Growers says ratification of the Colombia pact signed in 2006 is a top priority because the U.S. continues to lose ground in that country to Canada and Argentina. U.S. wheat’s share of the Colombian market fell to 46 percent in 2009-10, down from 70 percent in 2007-08. Canada’s share has risen to 33 percent from 24 percent over that same period. NAWG worries about further deterioration of its market share now that Canada has ratified its free trade agreement with Colombia. Implementation of the deal is expected in early 2011 at which time duties on imported Canadian wheat will fall to zero. The association said tariffs on U.S. wheat could fluctuate between 10 and 15 percent and move as high as the World Trade Organization bound

rate of 124 percent. “The U.S. wheat industry stands to lose about $100 million a year if we don’t approve the free trade agreement soon,” said Eric Steiner, NAWG’s director of government affairs for farm policy. “As the U.S. drags its feet, Canada gets to enjoy it.” Ratification of the Colombia agreement has been held up over environmental and labour concerns in the South American country. The Obama administration is developing benchmarks for the Colombian government to implement before sending the agreement to Congress. Steiner is confident Congress would approve all three deals if Obama allowed them to go to a vote. U.S. secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack anticipates Congress will be presented with the South Korean agreement within the next several weeks. He told reporters that will provide the impetus to get the other two deals ratified. “It’s really a linchpin to this entire thing,” he said. But another farm leader isn’t at all confident that the Panama and Colombia deals will get done. Mary Kay Thatcher, director of public policy with the American Farm Bureau Federation, thinks Obama is throwing his union supporters a bone with the South Korea deal. “I’ll be amazed if we can force him to send the other two up,” she said. access=subscriber section=news,markets,none

series of hearings about the EPA’s “numerous regulatory assaults” on farmers, said committee chair Frank Lucas. Jackson will be asked to explain the agency’s actions over the past couple of years. Lucas doesn’t think she’ll be overly excited about a return visit when the committee gets through with her. “One thing is clear, the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory assault on production agriculture must stop,” said Lucas to roaring applause from delegates attending the 2011 Commodity Classic. Farmers are fed up with having to comply with what they consider to be a series of burdensome and frivolous environmental regulations. One of the most disconcerting new regulations stems from a 2009 Sixth Circuit Court ruling that determined pesticides are a source of pollution subject to additional regulation under the Clean Water Act. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal on the case, so the lower court ruling stands. It instructs the EPA to develop a new pesticide permit for certain applications by April 9, 2011. Indications are that the EPA’s new permit will only apply to pesticides registered for aquatic use. But environmental activists have indicated that terrestrial pesticides should require a permit if there’s any chance they could come into contact with flowing water or drainage ditches and the court ruling enables lawsuits from citizen’s groups. It puts farmers in a Catch-22 situation where they can’t get a permit but they may be sued if they don’t have one. “The potential liability if you’re found in violation of the Clean Water Act is a fine of $37,500 a day,” said Mark Gaede, director of government affairs for environmental policy with the National Association of

Wheat Growers. “You can be fined with a fine that will put you out of business.” Gaede said an anti-pesticide organization called the Environmental Working Group filed 91 notices of intent to sue prior to the court ruling. He anticipates they will renew those notices after April 9. Farm groups are hoping for the quick passage of a bipartisan bill introduced in Congress last week that says extra permits are not required when applying pesticides according to their approved labels. “Because the permitting program is currently scheduled to take effect April 9, it is imperative that Congress take action on this bill prior to that date,” said National Corn Growers Association president Bart Schott. Lucas briefly outlined some of the other controversial regulations, such as one designed to limit the amount of coarse particulate matter in the air. “The EPA wants farmers to till fields without producing any dust,” he said. There’s a regulation that treats milk spills like oil spills and another one ensuring pesticide spray doesn’t drift more than one foot away from the original source. “Do you know how many days it doesn’t blow in western Oklahoma in a year? Four days without wind is one of the signs of the end of time,” said Lucas to a chorus of laughter. U.S. secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack wasn’t nearly as critical of the EPA. He said the hearings will give the agency a chance to clear up some of the misconceptions about what is being considered. And he noted that the EPA is not the originator of many of the contentious regulations. “One of two things has happened — either EPA has been instructed to do this by Congress or they’ve been directed to do it by a court,” he told reporters.

FARM PROGRAMS | ANNIVERSARY

Crop insurance turns 50 in Saskatchewan Program arrived in a dry year | Four farmers have been in the program continuously since 1961 BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The summer of 1961 was hot, dry and dusty. The driest parts of Saskatchewan got less than half of normal annual precipitation. Livestock producers were selling off animals while others held out for government freight assistance to bring in feed. Crops in many areas were a writeoff but for some producers in 25 rural municipalities there was hope of a crop insurance payment. A pilot project launched in those RMs led to the creation of what is now known as Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. That pilot saw 194 farmers insure 31,700 acres of wheat, barley and oats, the only eligible crops. Fifty years later, nearly 24,000 farmers insure about 25 million acres in a typical year. Coverage is available on 40 commercial crops, 25 pedigreed crops and 24 organic crops, plus forage and pasture. Current general manager Cam Swan said the fact that the program was born from drought is characteristic of the province. “By far and away the most significant losses we’ve had is when there is province-wide drought,” he said. A cabinet order-in-council established the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Board in September 1960 after several dry years. The board asked for petitions to conduct a study and by the December deadline, it had submissions from 118 municipalities and more than 16,000 farmers.

Crop insurance made production disasters easier to handle for farmers who signed up. | But with little time to get applications and establish premiums and coverage rates, only 438 applications actually came in by Feb. 28, 1961. The board decided to operate a pilot in the east and northeast parts of the grain belt, and accepted 199 applications. One of those belonged to Dan Krepakevich, who farms between Yorkton and Canora. He has crop insurance contract number 11. He and three other origi-

nal contract-holders have been in the program continuously for the last 50 years. Nineteen others have had insurance for 49 years. “I stayed in it for the simple reason that people need insurance,” Krepakevich said. “It may have been somewhat expensive but if it wasn’t for crop insurance in 1979, I wouldn’t be farming.” First hail and then frost decimated access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Krepakevich’s crop that year. From 1,200 acres, he harvested only four truckloads of grain. Premiums that first year were expensive at 25 cents per acre. Coverage prices were $1 a bushel for wheat, 65 cents for barley and 45 cents for oats. Coverage was area-based. Individual coverage wouldn’t arrive for 20 more years. Krepakevich said he believes the biggest change is how premiums are charged and the fact that the program expanded from yield coverage to include quality.

“It’s not perfect,” he said, but he still thinks more people should participate. “You wouldn’t think of not insuring your house.” Swan cites several milestones over the last 50 years. In 1973, 32 crop insurance offices were established around the province to replace commissioned sales agents. Also that year SCIC was established as a crown corporation. In 1987, the head office relocated to Melville, where it now is home to Agristability and the Wildlife Damage Compensation program as well as crop insurance. There are now more than 600 employees compared with four in the first year. Adjusters have gone from using measuring wheels to GPS for their calculations. They also use laptops out in the field and enter data immediately. The corporation has also seen big changes in payouts and liability. The largest payout was in the drought year of 2002, when $1.09 billion was paid on 100,000 claims. Early frost and wet harvest conditions also affected claim numbers. “It was almost four, five times the amount of premium that we took in that year,” said Swan. The next worst year was the drought of 1988, when $465 million or 3.8 times the premium was paid out. Liability peaked at about $3.5 billion in 2008. Prices are up so much this year that Swan said liability could top $4 billion in 2011. This year, most expect conditions to be wet. Krepakevich said he is planning on seeding canola and wheat if he can get on his land. “In all my years I’ve never seen it this way,” he said.

and higher dikes, says Shane Gabor, a Ducks Unlimited research biologist. Since the mid 1990s, a major flood has hit Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red River Valley in 1996, 1997, 2001, 2006 and 2009. Another near record flood is expected this spring. In response, the Manitoba and federal governments have spent hundreds of millions on more drainage, higher dikes and expanding the floodway around Winnipeg. However, the vast majority of sloughs and marshes in the Red River Valley were drained decades ago, so DU is focused on avoiding that error and the related flood problems in other parts of the province. Gabor and other DU researchers want the Manitoba government to incorporate wetlands into the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flood mitigation policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We (Manitobans) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an effective wetlands policy right nowâ&#x20AC;Ś. Part of that policy (should) include incentives for landowners â&#x20AC;Ś for keeping wetlands in place,â&#x20AC;? Gabor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the Assiniboine River Valley to become another Red River Valley. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learn from that (the Red River)â&#x20AC;Ś letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not create that same scenario elsewhere.â&#x20AC;? As evidence of the flood mitigation value of wetlands, Gabor referred to DU Canada research in the Broughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek watershed in southwestern Manitoba. DU scientists measured water flows out of drained wetlands in the watershed and found that draining sloughs and marshes increases total runoff by 62 percent If more sloughs are drained around Broughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek in the coming years, the volume of spring runoff will increase dramatically, said Pas-

cal Badiou, DU research scientist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our research suggests if we continue to drain the remaining wetlands from the Broughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek watershed, total runoff will almost triple in volume.â&#x20AC;? On a larger scale, DU estimated that wetlands provide $400 million in flood prevention benefits in southwest Manitoba. That figure, Gabor explained, is based on a study called The Value of Natural Capital in Settled Areas of Canada, authored by Nancy Olewiler, an economics and public policy researcher at Simon Fraser University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On average, for every acre of wetland drained, an additional five acres of surrounding area is added to downstream flows,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Grant, DU manager of provincial operations for Manitoba, in a news release. While much of the water debate in Manitoba has centred on Red River flooding and the excessive nutrients flowing into Lake Winnipeg, people and policy makers are slowly starting to appreciate the value of wetlands, Gabor said. The Manitoba government has provided funding for the Alternative Land Use Services pilot project in the Rural Municipality of Blanshard, where landowners are paid for ecological services, such as maintaining wetlands. Whatever the program, Gabor stressed the ecological compensation should pay for measurable benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make sure we have clear benefits when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing incentives for landowners,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exact model that will work and be sustainable in the long run, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve determined that yet.â&#x20AC;?

WESTERN BARLEY GROWERS ASSOCIATION | CONTRACTS

Buyer anxious to drum up barley contracts Cargill needs growers | Malting barley demand looks good and offers a significant premium BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Cargill Ltd is offering more than 400,000 acres in malt barley production contracts this spring. With declining barley acreage across the Prairies and a poor 2010 harvest, Cargill grain buyers like Floyd Howard hope farmers come forward so the company can meet its customers requests. “We’ve launched our production contract in January and we are quite concerned about overall barley acres,” he said at the recent Western Barley Growers Association annual meeting in Calgary. With a contract, a producer who

meets the minimum specifications is guaranteed malt acceptance and offered priority in grain movement. “It has always been our position that a production contract holder who has committed his production from his land to Cargill should get priority over someone who hasn’t committed and comes in at harvest and wants his barley selected,” he said. Contracts should be signed by the end of March. The contracts typically require 12.5 protein, minimum 85 percent plump kernels, 13.5 moisture and bright colour. Within 10 days of harvest, producers need to provide a representative sample of the entire harvest. This is

preferred over a sample from the first couple rounds of the field at harvest. Cargill prefers that production from each field be placed in its own bin to preserve identity. “When a sample is submitted within seven business days, we guarantee we will make a selection decision rather than putting it on hold,” he said. If it is not selected, the farmer is free to go and does not have to wait months to find another buyer. This year, every sample submitted was tested for moisture, protein, plumpness, thin kernels, colour, green kernels, frost damage and disease. Visual tests were done at selection access=subscriber section=news,none,none

to determine varietal purity and in 2010-11 every selection sample was subjected to rapid viscosity analysis (RVA) to predict its ability to germinate in the future. “In a normal year, we’ve got zero flexibility on germination. The whole idea of malting barley is to grow the barley for a period of four to six days during which time the starch in the kernel turns into sugar, which is used to make alcohol,” he said. Country locations are not allowed to blend high quality with lower quality to try and produce average germination. Such blends will cause problems for maltsters and brewers. Customers want specific proteins. High protein means less starch is present and may result in cloudy beer. However, the United States wants higher protein because it tends to have greater enzyme activity and brewers may substitute cheaper sources of starch than malt. High moisture grain has decreased shelf life and a greater risk of heating and declining germination. If high moisture barley is shipped to a hot, humid area, it does not store well. Staining is not a serious problem in itself but it might hide bacterial growth that creates a bad taste, gushing or interference with yeast performance during brewing. Peeled and broken kernels are unwanted because a homogenous product absorbs moisture at the right time. Peeled kernels do not sprout properly. So far this year, malting barley demand looks good with Metcalfe and Copeland varieties most desirable. “If you are looking at the new variety, make sure you have some commercial demand,” he said.

CARGILL MALT BARLEY CONTRACTS TYPICALLY REQUIRE

12.5 protein A significant premium for malt over feed is expected this year but prices are determined outside Canada. The European Union sets world prices, said Jim Venn, former head of Dominion Malting in Winnipeg and now head of Integrated Malt Barley Management. “If the EU is awash in high quantities of quality malt barley the prices will be lower in the world and (the Canadian Wheat Board) will have to follow suit and price accordingly,” he said. “If we stay out of the market in the fall waiting for better pricing and Australia is in good quality, prices can decline even further. Timing is everything,” he said. Canada has traditionally been a significant global player in the export of finished malt but demand has changed over the years. “Malt exports have flattened in the last 10 to 15 years and are subject to competition from some countries that we actually export malt barley to,” he said. Asian countries have also been good customers in the past but some Asian brewers are using malt substitutes to make cheaper beers with different qualities.

After more than six decades as an international voice of farmer interests, the Paris-based International Federation of Agricultural Producers has collapsed. Canadian farm representatives with strong ties to IFAP say the organization was a victim of dysfunctional leadership and financial problems. “They had some accountability and governance issues,” says Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett, who was an IFAP executive committee member. Jack Wilkinson, a former CFA president who served six years as IFAP president, said the death of the organization was shocking. “It was a very big disappointment for a lot of us.” Wilkinson, whose term as IFAP president ended in 2008, thought the organization was healthy and had reached an unprecedented level of credibility. “It was in pretty good shape,” he said from his northern Ontario farm. “I worked pretty well full-time as president for six years and I think IFAP had gained a position as the goto farm organization when groups like the World Bank, the United Nations, IMF (International Monetary Fund) and FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) were discussing food policy and wanted a farmer view.” He said with food issues, food prices and world hunger increasingly on the international political agenda, a credible farmer voice is more important than ever. When Wilkinson stepped down at a federation meeting in Warsaw, Poland in 2008, delegates made history by electing the first developing country president in its then-63-year history — Ajay Vashee from Zambia. Wilkinson said the organization began to spiral toward insolvency when a Dutch organization failed to honour a promise to reimburse IFAP for the costs of some development projects. Vashee’s leadership style also became part of the problem, he said In late March in Brussels, Belgium, representatives from a small group of countries will meet to try to create something out of the IFAP ashes — a World Farmers’ Platform that would try to represent farmer issues on a reduced scale at international levels. Canada will be one of the countries represented through Bonnett, and the CFA has budgeted $28,000 this year toward the attempt at creating a new international farmers’ voice. The CFA was one of IFAP’s biggest supporters, contributing $84,000 in annual dues. IFAP was created in 1946 as a way to speak for farmers during post-war reconstruction. Fo u r Ca na d i a n f a r m l e a d e r s including Wilkinson and former CFA president Glenn Flaten led the organization as president for 15 years. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Life changes with one zap

She helped me pull off my boots and my socks were burnt right off and my boots had holes where the power went right through. RAYMOND SCHAEFFER, SASK., FARMER

14,400 volts | Farmer who knows says ‘slow down’ CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

NDIAN HEAD, Sask. — May 20, 1993, started out like any other busy spring day for Raymond Schaeffer. The Odessa, Sask., farmer had risen at 4 a.m. to finish seeding a field of barley and he was now back in his farmyard to race against the clock to get a load of oats to town for cleaning before the elevator closed at 5 p.m. His wife Lorette noticed he was tired and encouraged him to take a quick rest before moving the auger and loading the oats. But with the seeding rush on, and the 53-yearold farmer eager to get to the elevator before it closed, he decided to pull the grain auger by hand across the yard — a task he had done hundreds of times before. This time, however, Raymond never did make it to the oat bin because the auger came in contact with a 14,400 volt power line that ran right through the middle of the farmyard. “I remember going straight up in the air and when I hit the ground, I couldn’t breathe because my knees were in my chin.” With every muscle in a spasm and his body forced into a ball, Raymond knew immediately that the auger had struck the low power line that had been a cause of concern in the yard for years. The couple had called SaskPower many times to have it raised or buried, but they thought the $10,000 cost at that time was prohibitive, so the high-voltage line remained where it was. Lorette heard a loud zap from her garden and she knew immediately that her worst fear had become a reality. By the time she reached her husband, the muscle spasms had stopped and he was gasping for air. “I grabbed my arm because there was so much pain and I realized I couldn’t open my hand and the skin inside had gone completely white,” said Raymond, tears welling in his eyes as the vivid memories of that fateful day flooded back. Lorette raced to the house to call the ambulance and by the time she was off the phone, Raymond had gotten himself to his feet and into the house. “She helped me pull off my boots and my socks were burnt right off and my boots had holes where the power went right through,” said Raymond, adding that the electrical current had travelled through his left arm, down his legs and into the ground. Doctors and nurses were waiting for the injured farmer in Regina, immediately sedating him and placing him in intensive care. As the weeks progressed, the extent of the internal damage began to surface with Raymond losing two toes and eventually his left hand and most of his arm. “Being in a hurry some times is the wrong thing,” said the mixed farmer, looking back at what he might have done differently on that fateful day. “That’s the trouble with farmers, they’re always pushing, pushing — but this is a horrible thing to have to access=subscriber section=news,none,none

go through.” Raymond spent more than five months in hospital and has gone through years of rehabilitation. He still lives in pain every day with the intensity of the initial burn on his hand remaining permanently imprinted on his brain. His advice to other farmers at this time of year is to slow down. “There’s so many things now that I can’t do like tie my shoes or button my shirt — things that I did before that I didn’t even realize I was doing,” said the 71-year-old farmer who has now retired to Indian Head, Sask. While his sons have operated the family farm since the accident 18 years ago, Raymond still does what he can to help out just to be close to the lifestyle he loved. “We’d gone under that line a hundred times and I always feared that we’d hit it with a load of hay or something, it was always in the back of my mind,” said Lorette. SaskPower public safety co-ordinator Cameron McGillivray said augers hitting power lines are a major concern at this time of year. In the past 15 years, 39 farm-related public injuries/electrical contacts have been reported with eight fatali-

ties. Three of the eight fatalities were due to augers contacting overhead power lines. McGillivray said it’s imperative to stay in the vehicle if a piece of equipment touches a live line. “If you stay inside the tractor and don’t touch the grain auger or anything connected to it, you’re perfectly safe.” With the wet spring, he added that it’s particularly important to be vigilant. “I can see implements getting stuck in the field and people trying to pull them out with one tractor and not watching the power line.” In the past three years, farm accidents involving power lines have dropped substantially. In 2010, no injuries or fatalities were recorded, with only two injuries in 2009 and one fatality in 2008. These figures are down substantially from 2007 when four injuries and two fatalities were recorded. “Fatality rates have fallen significantly since the year 2007 when SaskPower started the Farm Safety Program,” said McGillivray. “I look forward to a time of zero injuries and zero fatalities for several years to come.”

Farmers quick to embrace power line relocation program SaskPower program | Farmer pays 25 percent of the cost of burying lines CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

FILE PHOTO

ince 2009, SaskPower has had two programs in place to help prevent power line accidents. The Farmyard Power Line Relocation Program is designed to cover a majority of the cost of burying power lines that run through farmyards. Farmers on SaskPower’s farm rate (E-34) are eligible to have 75 percent of the cost to bury the lines covered. Farmers cover the remaining 25 percent of the cost, up to a maximum of $2,000. Last year more than 200 farmers took advantage of the program, having their 25 or 14.4 kilovolt farmyard lines removed from poles and placed beneath the ground. “We had a program in place in the mid-90s to early 2000s,” said Lloyd Hartl, SaskPower’s operating supervisor of field services. “That was put on hold and we reintroduced it in 2009 and since

The equipment in 2011 is quite large, so we’re trying to eliminate all lines on farmers’ fields. LLOYD HARTL SASKPOWER

then, it’s gone crazy. We have more customers applying than we have budget for every year.” To apply for the program, farmers can call 888-757-6937. A SaskPower representative will visit the farmyard and develop a plan to have the overhead lines relocated, a process which Hartl said can usually be accomplished in about eight weeks. Manitoba Hydro covers 50 percent of the cost of burying lines in the province. The second program in Saskatchewan, the Rural Electrical Distribution Program, moves lines from a field to the road allowance. “In the agricultural industry, if we

have lines running willy-nilly through farmland, it really does pose a problem with equipment hitting poles in the middle of the field or, in same cases, we have low clearance.” With machinery getting bigger and power lines sometimes getting lower due to sagging lines and leaning poles, Hartl said it is a hazard that SaskPower is eager to remove. Many power poles in the province were installed in the 1950s and 1960s and were only 30 feet high. SaskPower’s 15-year plan calls for the replacement of all of those with poles that are 35- to 40-feet high. “The equipment in 2011 is quite large, so we’re trying to eliminate all lines on farmers’ fields. There is less risk to have them in the road allowance.” Eventually over 400,000 poles dating back to the 1950s will be replaced. A priority list has been made, with SaskPower placing the least reliable and most heavily loaded lines on the top of that list. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

POWER AND FARMING: SAFETY FACTS • Never approach equipment that has come in contact with a power line • When electricity flows into the ground, it can electrocute anyone who comes too close. Stay at least 10 metres away from fallen wires. Call SaskPower at 310-2220 (tollfree number available 24 hours a day). If someone has been injured, call 911 • If your equipment contacts a power line, do not step off the equipment. Stay where you are. Call 911 or SaskPower at 310-2220 • If there is a fire or medical emergency and you must exit the vehicle or equipment, follow these steps: Open the door all the way while seated.

FARM SAFETY | TASK STANDARDS

Safe kids are no accident Preparation called key | Safety plans encourage families to think about how things are done on the farm and how procedures could be improved STORIES BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

ighty percent of Canadian farmers say farm safety is extremely important, especially for their children, but only 15 percent have a safety plan “They don’t know how they’re going to do that. They just know in their heart of hearts they want to,” said Diane Wreford, director of communications for the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA), which conducted a recent study with Farm Credit Canada. “Farm safety is not common sense. If it were there would be no incidents.” Wreford said preparation is all important. “You need to wear the helmet, you need to have the goggles, you need to have the age appropriate task. You’ve got to understand your own kid, too. Just because the child lives on the farm, don’t assume he or she knows as much as you do about how to run anything.” Mind set is also a factor. Farmers think of the farm as their

15 percent OF FARMERS HAVE A SAFETY PLAN home, but it’s also an industrial workplace. Wreford said they wouldn’t dream of taking their children onto the floor of a welding shop or bus manufacturing plant. “You have to think of your farm as a business because it is,” she said. Wreford also advised keeping the business and the home separate. There should be a road to the house and another one to the farm operation. In no other home setting would big trucks and machinery would going up and down the driveway. Wreford encourages farm families to create a safety plan, which encourages participants to think about how things are done on their farm and how procedures could be safer. “Develop specific procedures,” she said. “As in, this is how this job is

done, this is who will do it. You file it here, you put the sign up here. ” As well, children need a safe and supervised play area. They shouldn’t be allowed to play in the pasture because they can’t always be seen and could fall. Pastures also can contain an unfenced dugout, dangerous bulls or anxious cows with calves. One family built a corral for the kids near where the parents were working. The parents could see the kids and the kids could see the parents, but they were well away from the farm animals, protected by sturdy fences. They couldn’t get out but their parents could get to them. “Look at your whole operation with new eyes and sit down and treat farm safety risks the way you would treat any risks, any economic risks, any risks to do with your business,” Wreford said. “A safety risk needs to be handled the same way. You have to assess it, you have to manage it and control it and that brings us back to the SOP (standard operating procedure). You have to make the plan, work the plan and share the plan.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

When can a child work on the farm?

ow can farmers tell if their child is mature enough to start helping out on the

farm? Children mature at different rates and farm chores vary in degree of difficulty and danger posed. As a result, it can be challenging to decree definite ages when a child is ready to begin doing specific chores on the farm. The North American Guidelines for Children’s Agricultural Tasks can help take the guesswork out of these decisions. Visit www.nagcat.org/ nagcat/?page=guideline_search and search for the specific chore to be done. Review the Adult Responsibilities section and make sure the work area is safe. Read the Main Hazards section to understand how the most serious injuries occur. Read each question on the checklist and evaluate the child’s abilities. These questions are constructed with stop signs. Run into one on the page and the child is not yet ready to do the task. Learn about training and adult supervision. Study the picture of the chore being done safely. When all this is completed, allow the child to do the chore.

For example, the Milking a Cow Using a Pipeline page says children should be equipped with safety gear, including eye protection and fluid resistant gloves if working with detergents and sanitizers, and steel toed boots with non-skid soles. The main hazards would be kicks, being stepped on, skin irritation from detergents and sanitizers and muscle strains and injuries from repetitive motions. The adult must answer questions such as: • is the child comfortable around cows? • has the child been trained in the safe handling of chemicals? • has the child received training on animal behaviour? • can the child understand and repeat a 15 step process? • has the child demonstrated he/she can do the job safely four to five times under close supervision? • can an adult supervise as recommended? An unsatisfactory response on any of these will mean the child is not yet ready for the task. Fourteen and 15 year olds should be watched constantly at first and then checked every few minutes once they have shown they can do the job. Sixteen year olds should be checked every few minutes and then every 15 to 30 minutes. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The society says they do not have the physical development or cognitive ability to safely drive these machines. Pediatricians have seen the severe injuries and tragic deaths first hand. They make the following recommendations: • Children younger than 16 should not operate all-terrain vehicles or ride as a passenger; • Passengers of any age should never be carried on an ATV unless the manufacturer specifies that one is allowed; • Children younger than 16 should not operate snowmobiles and children younger than six should not ride as passengers on a snowmobile because they do not have the strength or stamina to be transported safely. • Snowmobilers should not carry more than one passenger. • Headlights and tail lights should be on at all times to improve the visibility of the snowmobile to other vehicle operators. • The use of a saucer, tube, tire, sled or skis to pull someone behind a snowmobile is not recommended. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

BEES | POLLINATION PROGRAM

New program focuses on improving habitat for native bees Pollinator Enhancement Program | It’s hoped that reducing dependence on foreign honeybees will boost pollination in British Columbia BY SHANNON MONEO FREELANCE WRITER

VICTORIA — Alarmed at honeybee colony losses that reached 80 to 100 percent last spring on Vancouver Island, a Victoria farmer is buzzing over a new program she says will boost native bee populations. Nathalie Chambers, agricultural program assistant with the Pollinator Enhancement Program, said the province-wide plan aims to improve conditions for native bees so that farmers are not as dependent on the honeybee, the dominant pollinator in the province. The program was launched by the Land Conservancy, an organization based in Victoria. “We need to restore the health and habitat of native bees,” said Chambers, who farms the 27 acre Madrona Farm with husband David. “This work is very, very important in terms of agriculture. Native bees are tailor-made for pollination.” Species like the bumblebee are at least five times more efficient at pollinating than honeybees because they disengage their wings and get right into the flower. They’re known as “buzz pollinators,” Chambers explained. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Unlike honeybees, which don’t emerge until the temperature is 9 C, bumblebees often begin pollinating early-flowering plants in February, when temperatures are lower. Last year’s meager fruit crop on Vancouver Island was partly the result of a wet, cold spring that kept honeybees inside their hives. Vancouver Island has 45 native bee species. Throughout North America there are about 4,000 native bee species, said Eric Mader, a pollinator program director with the Portland, Oregonbased Xerces Society. Mader, an entomologist, is assisting Chambers with TLC’s pollination program, which has 90 B.C. farms participating. “This project is unique in B.C.,” Mader said. “Farmers are ideally situated to deal with pollinators because they manage large tracts of land,” added Chambers, who also urge farmers to limit the use of pesticides. Pesticide use is sometimes cited as a key factor in bee mortality but B.C.’s provincial apiculturist said pesticides have their place. “Many pesticides are fantastic,” said Paul van Westendorp. But they have to be used judiciously.

Madrona Farm is one of the operations that will practice bee enhancement strategies. | Van Westendorp recalled time he spent working in East Africa where up to 60 percent of crops were eaten by bugs. Fa r m e r s t h e r e w o u l d h a v e embraced pesticides if they had them, he said. Chambers will also be encouraging farmers to sow flowering cover crops like clover, buckwheat and phacelia

to provide nectar. Native bees logically prefer native plants, so species like oceanspray, dogwood and Garry oak should be available. Farmers should also stagger the planting of flowering plants so that a succession of food is available until bees retreat in the fall. When plants, like sunflowers, have

finished producing, they should be left standing to provide food and habitat. Bee habitat is crucial. Seventy percent of native bees are ground nesters who live in undisturbed soil, such as sandy slopes. The remaining 30 percent live in trees. Buffer areas of wild flowers provide effective bee terrain. In California, a 100-kilometre-long flowering hedge has been planted for the bees, part of roughly 50,000 acres of U.S. habitat that has been set aside for native bees in the last couple years, Mader said. In the U.S., the federal government supplied half of the shared funding toward the creation of the bee habitat. “There’s no mechanism by Agriculture Canada to supply such funding,” Mader added In Canada, honeybees pollinate several billion dollars worth of plants each year but without diversity of species, it’s a risky scenario, said Mader. “If we say the honeybee is all we need, that puts food security in a bad position,” he said. “It’s really difficult to keep honeybees alive in North America. They’re given a cocktail soup to keep them alive.” In 2009-10, despite treatments like apistan and fumigillin to kill mites and bacteria, 21 percent of Canadian honeybee colonies were lost, according to the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists.

FERTILIZER | TAKEOVER

Fertilizer wars: a year after the Terra buy CF Industries | Although CF stock prices have risen over the last year, the purchase of Terra didn’t create an ounce of value, says one analyst

access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

CF controls about two-thirds of the ammonia supply in the heart of the U.S. corn belt. Urea and other nitrogen-based fertilizers come from ammonia. In the past year ammonia prices have increased 62 percent and urea prices have risen 20 percent, according to Green Markets, a fertilizer market research firm that tracks pricing. CF also mines phosphate fertilizer from Florida’s fossil-rich “bone valley.” In the past year prices for diammonium phosphate, known as DAP, have increased 35 percent, according to Green Markets. “There’s some synergies from distribution in the U.S. corn belt from the deal that are undeniable,” BCMI research analyst Chris Damas said. “ Te r ra wa s a v e r y g o o d mat c h because its plants are closer to customers.” CF, based in a Chicago suburb, gets a boost from cheap natural

gas, a key feedstock for nitrogen fertilizer. NYMEX prices for the fuel have dropped 19 percent in the past year. That’s attractive to Wall Street, where many analysts expect natural gas prices to stay low for years given recent shale gas discoveries. “CF is in a better position because it’s much more of a nitrogen play and can take advantage of low-cost feedstock here domestically,” said Randy Hare of the Huntington New Economy Fund, which owns about 12,400 shares of CF. CF holds no similar advantage when it comes to corn prices. Higher corn prices help all fertilizer producers, and CF more than others because hedge funds like to pile in when they see prices rising. The inverse is true, as well. “If we believed corn prices were going to reduce meaningfully, we probably would reduce our position in CF,” said Standard Life’s Rowsell.

CF Industries chief executive officer Stephen Wilson disagrees with analysts who say the company has gained no value by its purchase of Terra Industries last year. | REUTERS/JEFF HAYNES PHOTO No one can predict where corn prices will go, but food demand will grow in line with populations in China, India and other emerging economies. Corn supplies are also at historic lows, prompting farmers to plant more and use more fertilizer. Jeff Doppelt, who bought Terra stock at around $2 per share and

watched it spike to around $50 before the CF buyout, unloaded some of his CF holdings when the stock was trading at $150 last month. But he has no plans to sell his remaining 11,000 shares any time soon. “The overwhelming majority of the stock I’m holding,” Doppelt said. “I definitely think CF could be a $200 stock.”

NEW YORK, New York (Reuters) — CF Industries Holdings eliminated a key rival when it bought Terra Industries last year, but so far surging corn prices rather than the deal’s benefits have driven the fertilizer producer’s stock. CF makes nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers. The company spent most of 2009 and part of 2010 in hot pursuit of Terra, all the while fending off a hostile bid from Canada’s Agrium. Ultimately, CF emerged the winner of the so-called fertilizer wars when it clinched Terra for $4.6 billion in cash and stock, more than double the initial offer. The deal made CF the world’s second-largest producer of nitrogen, after Norway’s Yara, by increasing its number of fertilizer plants to seven from two. The buyout also brought access to pipelines and barges in the U.S. Midwest, the world’s largest corn-growing region. But the acquisition has yet to lift CF’s stock above pre-recession levels, in part because Wall Street is less focused on Terra’s benefits and more concerned with the price of corn, which unlike soy requires nitrogen fertilizer. “Without a doubt, the impact of the Terra deal has been relatively minor,” said Alan Rowsell of Standard Life Investments, which owns about 910,000 shares of CF. “The key driver for CF’s stock over the last year has been the rise in the price of corn.” Corn futures on the Chicago Board of Trade have doubled since March 11, 2010, the day before the Terra deal closed. CF shares have climbed 32 percent during the same period. By comparison, shares of Potash Corp. are up 54 percent, shares of Agrium have jumped 38 percent, and shares of Mosaic Co. have added 41 percent. CF shares were trading at $136.40 at midday March 2. “I don’t see any reason why this stock couldn’t have gone to $140 without this (Terra) deal,” CLSA analyst Mark Connelly said. “I don’t think this deal created an ounce of value.” CF chief executive officer Steve Wilson disagreed, saying shareholders should continue to expect benefits from the buyout. “We believe there’s more good news to come as the full realization of identified synergies, the benefits of our rapid debt repayment, and current fertilizer market conditions get reflected in financial markets,” Wilson said Given its deep connection to agriculture, CF is often seen by hedge funds and other short-term investors as a pure bet on corn demand. That partly explains the interest in the stock from BlackRock, Vanguard, FMR and other hedge funds, most of whom tend to trade on short-term developments rather than long-term fundamentals.

RESEARCH | HAZELNUT TREES

Hazelnuts roasting on an open prairie fire Researchers seek hardy tree | Growers’ help needed to find the best hybrids so they can be cloned BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

With the help of prairie farmers, University of Saskatchewan researchers are hoping hazelnuts will soon be as popular in gardens as saskatoons and sour cherries. As part of a quest to find the perfect hazelnut tree, Saskatoon researchers are selling hazelnut seedlings to growers across the Prairies for $3. Research technician Rick Sawatzky, said that with little funding available for hazelnut research, researchers are enlisting farmers to grow and record information on the trees. With farmers’ co-operation, the chances of finding a prairie hardy hazelnut tree will increase dramatically. “We realize we don’t have the money and resources ourselves. It was obvious we needed help,” said Sawatzky. “We’re at the stage now we need to grow the numbers.” Unlike cloned plants bought at the nursery, the hazelnut trees bought

through the hazelnut project are highly variable. Because of their mixed lineage, about one quarter of the trees should be very hardy, half should be reasonably hardy and the rest are expected to perform poorly. They also expect one quarter to have large nuts, half to have average size nuts and one quarter to be puny. The chance of finding large nuts on hardy bushes is one in 16. “It’s like trying to win the lottery,” said Sawatzky. During the 1940s, Les Kerr of the Forestry Farm in Saskatoon crossed wild American hazelnuts with cultivated European hazelnuts and bred them until the early 1980s when the University of Saskatchewan took over the breeding program. Sawatzky started crossing the better hazelnut plants with pollen from Oregon State University and the seedlings for sale are the best hybrids from those crosses. It takes five to seven years for the hazelnut trees to start producing fruit and Sawatzky doesn’t expect to find access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

Once the trees begin to bear fruit and a plant looks promising, the researchers want to collect cuttings and possibly germinate nuts from the best of the trees planted across the Prairies. The best of those plants will be cloned and redistributed to co-operators. Hazelnut trees do well on marginal soil. They grow to a height of three or four metres and can be as wide as

they are tall. The ideal tree would be able to fit under commercial fruit harvesters. In exchange for supplying the best material back to the researchers, farmers are encouraged to use their entrepreneurial skills to develop markets for the nuts or keep them for their own use. “We want them to be creative and tap into their creativity and business savvy,” said Sawatzky.

ment around the hazelnut project, its assistant Peter Reimer’s job to discourage producers from ordering the plants because of their extreme genetic variability. “I do everything to sound discouraging to buyers,” he said. “It’s an extremely long-term project.” Despite the expected difficulties with the plants, the plant sciences department has sold all its seedlings since it started the project in 2007. Heather Dickau, horticulturist for the counties of Wetaskiwin and Leduc, just south of Edmonton, ordered 25 trees this year as part of her experiment to look for trees that will grow in different climate conditions. Dickau plans to plant the seedlings as part of a small nursery where she will plant other fruit trees and use the trees for grafting and pruning demonstrations. “It was a small investment. If it’s not successful, it’s not a big loss.” Rick Letwinka of Craven, Sask., ordered 50 hazelnut trees in hopes of finding a tree that will produce a decent size hazelnut. As a market gardener and vegetarian, Letwinka is always searching for new sources of protein that will grow on his southern Saskatchewan farm. He also wants to do his part in helping the researchers develop varieties of fruit and nut trees that can be successfully grown on the Prairies. “I see the caliber of work the breeders do to increase fruit production on the Prairies. I think it’s great to help them and be part of the process,” he said. “I’m excited about hazelnuts,” said Letwinka, who plans to plant the seedlings on two separate plots of land in the Qu’Appelle River valley. The microclimate in the valley may be perfect for hazelnut tree growth. He is already successfully growing cherries, apple trees and artichoke plants. Marvin Tkachuk of Spruce Grove, Alta., ordered trees as part of his personal quest to push the limits of the growing area. “I am interested in trying to see if I can grow nuts in a northern climate. It’s a personal fascination,” said Tkachuk, who already successfully grows six varieties of grapes, blueberries and Siberian walnuts at his farm west of Edmonton. “There is the odd chance to get something that is commercially viable.”

Mary Buhr, dean of agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan spoke about promoting the use of locally produced foods, as well as the opportunities and responsibilities involved with moving the Canadian food industry forward, provincially and internationally. “We need to be so much more effective. We need to be paying so much more attention and we need to be owning agriculture in this country,” she said. “If we philosophically believe in efficient production of high quality food or high quality products from renewable resources, then we need to be living that. We need to be talking to our kids about that and we need to be telling our kids that this is a valuable thing that we should be doing. And we need to be doing it ourselves,” she said. A key ingredient to expanding the consumption of local food is to tell consumers where their food is coming from. “We need to be insisting that where we shop for foods tells us where the foods come from,” Buhr said. “There’s nothing wrong in my mind (with) bringing in food from outside but we need to know that so that if there’s local apples and apples from B.C., and there’s apples from California, we need to be able to make the choice.” “That’s where the value is. It’s in making a thoughtful choice and literally talking to our kids as to why we’re doing it this way.” Buhr said labelling is a key issue. Consumers will often go with the cheapest food available. If price is the only information displayed on packaging, then consumers have no other information on which to base a decision, she said. There’s also a need to examine the barriers that limit access to local food. In addition to keynote speakers, the summit included breakout sessions designed to identify common issues, solicit innovative ideas and look for solutions. “This is the first step and we’re not going to solve all the problems in two days but we have to start somewhere,” Tanino said. “How else do we go forward?”

GM LABELLING | LIBERAL LEADER’S POSITION

Ignatieff says GM food safe; opposes labelling proposal ‘Show me some science’ | GM labelling shouldn’t be driven by anxiety BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Federal Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff says he believes genetically modified products are not dangerous and he rejects proposals to restrict their use because of unsubstantiated consumer fears. “When you get to the GM side, I’ll be frank that I lived through that debate when I lived in Europe and I don’t want to go too far out on a limb because I want to respect and listen to Canadians but I’ve never been convinced that GM is a risk to health,” he said in a February interview. “To me it is a scientific question and I respect scientific evidence. It simply can’t be driven by consumer anxiety.” Organic producers appearing before parliamentary hearings on biotechnology in agriculture insist that products containing genetically modified material must be labelled to alert consumers. Consumers say the same thing in public opinion polls. The debate over GM labelling has typically pitted New Democrats and the Bloc Québecois against the anti-

labelling Conservatives. Most Liberal MPs side with the agriculture and food industry that opposes GM labelling. Recently, however, Liberal agriculture critic Wayne Easter has said the party is rethinking its opposition to GM labelling since it can help secure markets in GM-skeptical countries. G M- f re e c a n o l a f ro m P r i n c e Edward Island has a lucrative market niche in Japan only because of labelling. But Ignatieff doesn’t sound convinced of the wisdom of a move to mandatory labelling for GM content. He embraced genetically modified products as safe and insisted that politics and consumer fear must not dictate policy on genetically modified organisms. He was living in the United Kingdom when the debate over the safety of genetically modified foods broke out in the 1990s. Ignatieff said he respects the fact that some consumers are concerned about GM content in their food. “You have to listen to consumers.” But sugar, fat and salt content in food products are far more danger-

ous for consumers and a far more important labeling issue. In power, he would be skeptical of demands for a labeling policy if it did not include some scientific evidence of potential harm, said Ignatieff. “As prime minister, you’ve got to show me some science that says there are some GM modifications that are dangerous to health or safety or have a ripple effect on other crops,” the Liberal leader said. “But you can’t base sound agricultural policy on the fact that some people have some anxieties here. It has to be science driven. I’ll tell you personally I’ve been in this debate for 20 years and I’ve not seen, repeat, not seen, evidence that GM foods are harmful to health.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

and vegetable production. Jack Moes, the college’s associate vice-president of applied research, said it’s unusual for a community college to conduct research, but this horticultural program will fill a need in Manitoba. “We’ll be working closely with the province on some of their projects that are focused more on production techniques…. It (the research) is

focused more at the producer how-to level.” Approximately 500 farmers grow vegetables and fruit in Manitoba. Struthers said sales generate $40 million a year for the industry. Most employees on Manitoba’s vegetable and fruit farms are temporary workers from Mexico, but Moes said producers also need people with more horticultural knowledge and a

“more sophisticated skill set.” Graduates of the horticultural production program may take jobs on farms but they could also take their knowledge in another direction. “This program is also going to appeal to individuals who have an entrepreneurial interest … starting a greenhouse operation, starting their own vegetable production enterprise.” access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

DRIED DISTILLERS GRAIN | PRICES

High prices take shine off DDGs China bumps price | Imports rose to three million tonnes from 450,000 last year BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Canada imported a record amount of dried distillers grain last year, but high prices have halted trade. “There is virtually nobody buying any dried distillers,” said Jay Burrows, commodity trading manager at Western Feedlots. “The people that are still feeding it are just burning off through their stockpiles.” Western Feedlots feeds 160,000 head of cattle annually at its three southern Alberta locations and uses 10 million bushels of barley a year. The company added 20 percent DDGs to its rations when it was economical to do so, but Canadian contracts were not filled and the price increased when China bumped up its imports from 450,000 tonnes to nearly three million by the end of last year. “The Chinese bought up everything they could find to the point in Western Canada you couldn’t buy dried distillers corn. It just wasn’t there,” Burrows said at the recent Western Barley Growers Association convention in Calgary. DDGs had been priced at $230 per tonne, which is $25 more than barley, but the recent price increase created a $50 spread. Corn is the main feed grain in the United States and DDGs are still cheaper. As a result, they remain a bigger part of beef and dairy cattle rations in that country. Distillers grain has a futures contract, but there is no interest in it, said Burrows. There are only a few DDG producers in Western Canada and they export most of their production, mostly to California, he added. Canada imported 1.02 million tonnes from the United States last year compared to 820,000 tonnes in 2009, according to U.S. Grains Council statistics. Other customers include China at three million tonnes, Mexico at 1.6 million tonnes and Vietnam at one million tonnes. U.S. ethanol plants produced 33 million tonnes and exported eight million tonnes. However, trade to China halted when the country launched an antidumping investigation on U.S. DDGs in January. Burrows said Western Feedlots used DDGs as a cheaper source of energy because tallow was worth $1,000 per tonne. “We have a product that is not necessarily displacing grain; it is a fat carrier. It has some positive performance parameters around it.” DDGs are also a good source of crude protein: wheat DDGs are nearly 40 percent compared to the corn byproduct at 28.2 percent. Crude fibre in wheat DDGs is 7.2 percent while corn provides 6.4 percent. DDGs offer a softer, more digestible fibre and its sweet smell and taste makes it highly palatable. However, DDGs have a higher level of phosphorus and nitrogen than access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

traditional feed, which end up in manure. There is also a greater potential for the presence of grain mycotoxins, which are concentrated in the etha-

nol making process. Shrink losses may also be higher, Burrows said, and outside stockpiles blow everywhere during southern Alberta chinook winds.

SOUTH KOREA | FOOT-AND-MOUTH

Meat shortage sees South Korea reopen slaughterhouses Hogs and cattle culled | Slaughterhouses were closed to contain the disease SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) — South Korean officials, battling their worst foot-and-mouth outbreak ever, said March 2 they had reopened most slaughterhouses to ease a nation-wide shortage of meat. The slaughterhouses were closed earlier in an attempt to contain the animal disease. South Korea is Asia’s fourth-largest economy. Officials said in a separate statement that they had confirmed 150 cases of foot-and-mouth disease in 11 provinces during the past three months. The county has already culled and buried a third of its hog population and five percent of cattle. “Foot-and-mouth outbreaks have caused prices of pork and eggs to rally, also prices of alternative imported beef to rise,” a statement from the finance ministry said. Average domestic prices of pork and imported beef have jumped a respective 35.1 percent and 17.3 percent over the past 12 months, the statement noted. So far, 30 of the total 36 closed slaughterhouses have been reopened. The nationwide outbreak of footand-mouth originated in pigs from the city of Andong in North Gyeongsang province. The discovery triggered a massive animal slaughter, nationwide vaccination and record-high pork prices. To ease a supply shortage, the government has allowed tariff-free pork imports of up to 110,000 tonnes during the first half of this year. U.S. traders, meanwhile, said that South Korea might be requesting delays of up to 30 days on shipments of pork bought from the United States and other countries to allow better handling and distribution. There was also talk of problems with letters of credit involving some of the pork imports. Yet, traders in Seoul said major firms had concluded import deals for shipments through June and had no such shipment issues. Small importers might have delays depending on financial conditions or possible bottlenecks due to rising demand, they added. Daekuk, a beef and pork importer which distributes and processes locally, reported to the stock market in late February that it had failed to pay back parts of principal and interests for $5.52 million US of bonds

with warrants, adding it would complete the payment by March 23. Shares of Daekuk dropped more than 50 percent on March 2, less than t w o m o nt h s a f t e r ra l l y i n g t o a 10-month high in January.

ENVIRONMENT | AUSTRALIAN PROGRAM

Australian farmers get incentives to go green Climate change fight | The government will compensate farmers for reducing deforestation and changing grazing practices SINGAPORE (Reuters) — The Australian government hopes to launch a new Carbon Farming Initiative on July 1 as a way to give farmers an incentive to cut emissions and for polluters such as steel mills and coalfired power plants to buy emission offsets. But demand for the governmentregulated offsets hinges on a national carbon price being set — perhaps as soon as July 2012. Agriculture, deforestation and burning emit more than 20 percent of Australia’s greenhouse gases now.

“The land sector, especially through biosequestration, has immense technical potential for reduction and absorption of emissions,” Australia’s top climate adviser, Ross Garnaut, wrote in a report. Realizing even a small part of that potential through incentives would transform Australia’s climate change fight and expand rural economic prospects, he said. Michael Battaglia, who leads a program studying how to cut greenhouse gas emissions, said activities most likely to draw investment would be

tree planting, with a number of companies already generating voluntary carbon market offsets from plantations, and reducing deforestation of

native forests. “Things like (forestation) and avoided deforestation probably offer significant abatement at a pretty minimal cost,” he said. A carbon price of around $10 to $20 per tonne could probably bring about up to 100 million tonnes of potential abatement in reforestation, he added. Boosting soil carbon levels on farmlands was harder, since ways to measure soil carbon changes need to be developed. “In converting this into a market, one needs to look at issues of perma-

nence and how do we track observed changes in soil carbon.” In 2009, an Australian study found that carbon forestry, reducing deforestation, changes in grazing practices and switching to bioenergy could reduce Queensland’s greenhouse gas emissions by 77 percent. Battaglia said it was unlikely such steps could compete with food production. “Unless the market is grossly distorted through incentives, food prices will always exert a premium on productive land over carbon prices.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Australian gov’t looks to farmers to cut gas emissions Farmers encouraged to invest in ways to lock carbon in the soil

09/10-14760-01F

SINGAPORE, (Reuters) — Australia’s farms and vast outback could help cut or offset up to a fifth of the economy’s greenhouse gas emissions, a senior scientist says, as the government struggles to put a price on carbon pollution. Australia is a major coal exporter and consumer and is among the highest per-capita producers of planetwarming carbon emissions in the world. Emissions are increasing in an economy fuelled by a booming resource sector and soaring wealth. The Australian government is battling to win political and industry support for a pricing scheme to cut carbon pollution and boost green energy. A partial solution is to encourage farmers to invest in ways to lock carbon in the soil, plant trees, reduce fertilizer use or cut the amount of methane produced by cows and sheep. In return, they would earn money for their efforts via the sale of tradable offsets. “We are uniquely placed among developed countries to consider these areas because we have such rich land resources,” said Michael Battaglia, who leads a program studying how to cut greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and use the land as a store for carbon. Trees, for example, soak up large amounts of carbon as they grow, while changing cropping and grazing practices can boost the amount of carbon in the soil or in native vegetation. Dietary supplements can reduce methane from livestock. “Australia could be abating something in the order of 10 to 20 percent of its current emissions with a reasonably concerted effort,” said Battaglia of the state-funded research body CSIRO. “But there will be a lead-up period to achieve that, five to 20 years.”

RED DEER — Food inflation is becoming the world’s next crisis, says a Vancouver-based financial analyst. “Food inflation is an absolutely terrible problem that is inflicting a lot of the emerging world,” said Mike Levy at the recent Alberta Beef Industry conference in Red Deer. People in developing countries want to eat better but that demand is placing a huge strain on the world

food supply. However, wages in many nations are low and citizens can’t afford to buy many types of food. Inflation in Canada is around two percent. Inflation in China is closer to five percent but in one year, eggs have gone up 20 percent and fruit is up 35 percent. Canadians can also expect higher food prices. “Are we in for food inflation?

that it is around par, higher prices can be expected. Alberta Agriculture monthly grocery statistics show some slight increases. A food basket for a family of four in Edmonton cost $188.78 in January 2010 but by December, the same groceries cost $196.38. Political upheaval in the Middle East adds to the strain. Nervous markets are driving energy prices higher and if oil surpasses $100 a barrel, inflation will continue. Higher energy prices are already evident at the pump. Gasoline was $1.26 per litre in Vancouver while Calgary was 1.05 per litre on Feb. 24. “I would bet you a buck we are going to be 16 to 17 cents a litre higher by the first of April. Think about how that affects you,” he said. Natural gas is not likely to rise any time soon because there is ample supply. Also, watch the copper market because it has been an economic barometer for the last 20 years. Electronics, architecture, biomedical and automobiles manufacturing all require copper. “A s g o e s c o p p e r, a s g o e s t h e economy.” “If you start to see copper starting to fall out of bed instead of being $4.25 a pound, you are going to know that the world is sending a message and it is being read through the copper market,” he said. Still, Canada is in a good position because it is an energy, food and base metal producing country. “We are a nation of providers. We’ve got what the world wants but it ain’t widgets that are made in Toronto. The economy has shifted to the West and to the Far East,” he said. “Even if there is a downturn, we’ll get hit, but not to the same extent because this world still has to eat, still has to heat and still has to build things.” Canadian real estate is also safer compared to the United States, where housing starts are down 14 percent and many homes are for sale with no offers. However, Canadians cannot afford to get smug. Average Canadian household debt is about $100,000 and since 55 percent of Canadians have home mortgages, their debt is closer to $170,000. If there is a significant bump up in their payments because of higher interest rates, they may fail to meet their monthly obligations. “Higher interest rates are going to put a lot of Canadians against the wall,” he said. Canadians also need to watch the U.S. debt. In February 2005 the country owed $7.6 trillion. Therefore, each American owed $25,840. As of Feb. 24 that increased to $14.1 trillion so everyone owes $45,565. “There is no stop in sight,” he said. Canada’s the federal debt is $560 billion so each Canadian owes $16,506. Federal governments must be forced to make cuts and balance budgets even if such a move is not politically popular.

The winners of Canada’s outstanding young farmer award in 2010 have a stark message for the dairy sector — their costs and debt are too high to be sustainable. Ryan and Lauren Maurer from Grenfell, Sask., who shared the Canadian Outstanding Young Farmer award with an Ontario couple last autumn, told the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting in late February that the Canadian dairy industry should move to a more “open market” system. The Maurers are grain, oilseed and special crops producers who farm east of Regina. Twenty years ago, Ryan said his family got out of the dairy business because of the cost. “The protection provided to the supply managed sector has increased quota values and created a monster of debt,” Ryan said. “The debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio in the Canadian dairy industry is double that of the U.S. dairy industry.” He said the grain and oilseed sector is far less vulnerable, adding the Canadian dairy industry would be ill prepared to withstand the shock of a health crisis. Maurer speculated that if the next health scare is “milk fever” rather than “swine flu,” the Canadian dairy industry would be in trouble. “With such high levels of debt, would there be enough surplus to function and withstand the fight?” he asked. “By moving to a more open-market system, the supply managed sector would not only be in a better position to maintain its future viability, it would also work to aid the agriculture industry as a whole.” When a Quebec delegate chalaccess=subscriber section=news,none,none

Lauren and Ryan Maurer met with reporters after being named Saskatchewan’s Outstanding Young Farmers in 2010. They were later selected as co-winners of Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers honours that year. The couple advocates changes to the dairy industry’s supply control system. | FILE PHOTO lenged Maurer’s criticism of the current dairy structure, the young Saskatchewan farmer did not back down. “Sometimes I look to the extreme to see where we are headed,” he said. Dairy farms are consolidating and someday a farmer with millions of dollars worth of quota will have few buyers. “I hesitate to see it as a sustainable model.” He did not provide details about how a more market-oriented system would function or reduce quota prices or debt. Maurer said he recognizes that supply management has been an effective tool for helping dairy farmers get their income from the market. But it has built-in time bombs that threaten its future. “In Canada if the supply-managed industries keep some of the current core values and at the same time implement innovation, this sector

which has been targeted as a hindrance can emerge as the leader of a new and progressive system to help not only their own sector but all Canadian agriculture sectors,” he said. He also waded into the debate about whether land should be used to produce grain for biofuel rather than food. Maurer said farmers should not be restricted in their ability to produce grain to be used as a biofuel feedstock and he suggested those who engage in the food versus fuel debate are being hypocritical. Significant acres already are used to produce malt barley. “The very people who are promoting the food versus fuel debate do not recognize the significant acres currently committed to the production of alcohol,” he said. “This grain could easily be eliminated to provide food acres. Beer is not the sixth food group.”

CATTLE | PRICES

Fat steers make wallets fat Despite record prices for fat steers, producers say it won’t last with rising input costs BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Prices for fat steers in the United States hit a record high Feb. 24, but that feat may turn out to be short lived. Live Texas steers sold for $111 per hundredweight and Nebraska fats fetched $112, yielding a profit of around $50 per head. However, Duane Lenz of the U.S. market analysis firm Cattlefax said it’s unlikely those prices and profits can be sustained. The profit was possible because the feedlots bought the cattle six months ago when prices were lower and corn was half the current price, he said in an interview during the Alberta Beef Industry conference held in Red Deer Feb. 23-25. “Our break-evens are going to go higher every month,” he said, referring to the fed cattle price required to cover costs. Input costs are rising, which makes

profits elusive. U.S. steer prices this year could exceed $115, well above the range of the last decade of $58 to $82 per cwt. But Lenz said forecasters are too nervous to commit beyond that because of market volatility. While Canadian market conditions are as volatile as those in the United States, Canada has a feeding advantage because western barley is cheaper than U.S. corn, said Brian Perillat of Canfax. He didn’t know how long that advantage might remain. “Day to day, you could wake up one morning and your cattle could be up $30 or $30 down.” Cow-calf producers have the most to gain from higher calf prices. Feedlots face a short supply of calves and packers may find consumer resistance for higher beef prices. Strong exports add support to beef and cattle prices. Wo r l d b e e f p r o d u c t i o n h a s declined for the past five years and

global demand has been healthy, even though demand is flat in North America. U.S. beef exports are up 32 percent compared to this time last year, with considerable expansion in Asia. South Korea has been a major destination because it has had to cull millions of cattle and hogs due to of a foot-and-mouth epidemic. The Canada Beef Export Federation reported that beef exports to Asia, Mexico and Russia increased 17 percent in 2010 compared to a four percent decrease in exports to the U.S. Total Canadian beef exports to these markets jumped from 90,050 tonnes worth $327 million in 2009 to 105,700 tonnes valued at $426 million in 2010. This is being achieved with smaller herds that do not appear to be prepared to expand soon. Producers aren’t holding back enough heifers and are likely to sell calves into the beef market because access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Prices for fat steers are more volatile in the U.S. where producers use corn rather than barley. | FILE PHOTO of strong prices. “We are not keeping them out and making new cows out of them,” said Lenz. As well, southern U.S. ranchers are likely to continue downsizing due to drought that is creating shortages of water and feed. The most recent Statistics Canada livestock survey said Canada has 4.27 million cows, down 19 percent from the large population of 2005 when BSE forced producers to retain

females that could not be sold. Heifer numbers increased three p e rc e nt, b u t i t i s o n l y a s l i g ht improvement considering how few have been retained. Perillat said most of the extra heifers are in Western Canada. “We’re down about 120,000 cows and we’re up about 20,000 heifers so really we will have quite a bit smaller calf crop,” he said. “We know feedlots are going to be competing for calves.”

CANOLA | HEALTH BENEFITS

Parliament health committee gets lesson on canola benefits BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The canola industry carried its health food image to Parliament Hill last week, urging MPs who are studying healthy living to remember that farmers are the beginning of a healthy diet. Robert Hunter, vice-president of communications for the Canola Council of Canada, told the House of Commons health committee that canola is an integral part of healthy lifestyles. “It has the lowest amount of satu-

rated fat of any common culinary oil and is high in omega 3 fats and monounsaturated fat,” he said March 1. “This well-balanced profile makes canola oil one of the most hearthealthy oils out there.” The health committee has been hearing witnesses about the combination of diet, exercise and lifestyle that can reduce disease and constrain growing pressure on the Canadian health-care system. It also plans to talk about antibiotic use in the livestock industry. Hunter said farmers are willing to embrace new varieties developed for

their health attributes. For example, canola varieties were developed that respond to health concerns over trans fat in Canadian diets. Farmers grew the product, industry bought it and the campaign to reduce trans fat in the Canadian food system took off. “Although the issue prompted many heated discussions about the ability to make these changes, in the end a reduction in trans fat in the food supply was achieved,” he said. “This was done without regulation.” Hunter said farmers’ contribution to healthy living is often overlooked.

“I often look at the average western Canadian farm and see the wide variety of healthy food crops a single farmer is growing: wheat, oats, canola, flax, pulses,” he said. “That is one very healthy granola bar growing off of one family farm.” Hunter said canola oil use in the United States is growing partly because labels on the U.S. product can carry a health claim that its use reduces the risk of heart attack more than other oils. Ontario Conservative Colin Carrie asked if it is the same for Canadian labels.

“Canola oil cannot make the specific claim to the product here in Canada,” Hunter replied. “We are working with Health Canada actually to build the case for canola.” Producers already are making the claim. “An Alberta canola grower once said, ‘the success of the canola industry will be measured by the number of heart attacks per acre,’ ” Hunter said. “(That is) a very powerful statement that directly links our industry’s commitment to the health of Canadians.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Livestock producers who use Saskatchewan community pastures will pay higher grazing fees this year. Brand inspection fees are also going up. The increases were announced March 2 and are among several fee increases the provincial government is implementing for the next fiscal year. Agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said pasture patrons had been notified of the government’s intention and face their first fee increase since the discovery BSE in 2003. The program is supposed to operate on a break-even basis but since prices crashed in 2003 the fees had been held steady. “Everybody just kind of swallowed the pill and held the line on those fees,” the minister said. “Now we’re finally seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel and they’re capable of maybe paying a little more.” He said the ministry worked with the industry and has had no pushback on the fee hike. The government rates were lower than private sector rates. The increase varies depending on the type and age of livestock. The daily fee to graze a cow, for example, rises from 38 cents last year to 45 cents in 2011. The fee for a ewe is going up just one cent to 10 cents per day. Brand inspection fees are going up 15 cents per head to $1.80. That fee hasn’t risen since 2002. The ministry is also hiking its access fees for sales data through the Farm Land Security Board. The data offers comparable land sales information by searching in rural municipalities or by legal land description. Individual search fees are rising from $8 to $20 for an online search and $35 for an offline search. Organizations that want unlimited access will pay $4,000 per year, up from $2,500. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The Alberta government is expected to introduce legislation to t r a n s f e r t h e re s p o n s i b i l i t y o f farmed cervids from the sustainable resource development branch to agriculture. Like other provinces, farmed cervids in Alberta have been considered both wildlife and domestic livestock with deer and elk producers being ruled by both government departments. When the new law is introduced in the legislature this spring session, it

will start the process of removing all responsibility from the Wildlife Act under Sustainable Resource Development and shift it under the Livestock Industry Diversification Act in the agriculture department. Glenda Elkow, chair of the Alberta Elk Commission, said the move to the agriculture department is a logical step that their industry has been advocating for years. “Everything absolutely belongs there. We’re an agriculture industry,” said Elkow of Lloydminster. The goal of the Sustainable Resources Management branch seemed to be market restriction, not

market development,” she said. “Their philosophy is more about how to keep from moving animals anywhere. The ag department is all about trade and market access,” said Elkow, who hopes the move will open new opportunities for the provinces’s 260 elk farmers and their 16,800 animals. Under the old act, if a farmed animal escaped from a fenced area, the ownership of the stray animal would revert to the crown. That will be eliminated under the agriculture department. “Nobody does that with other farmed animals,” she said.

“It’s way too complicated the way it is.” Elkow said the move to agriculture is a groundbreaking move by the provincial government and should be applauded. Once legislation is introduced and passed, the job of rewriting the regulations begins. “Being voted on is a big first step.” Alberta agriculture minister Jack Hayden said the move to agriculture was a logical step. “It will put them in the same category as other domestic animals. It’s long overdue as far as I’m concerned,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

Ten producers have been honoured in the Elite Barley program that recognizes the best malting barley producers in Canada. “The goal of the Elite Barley program is to celebrate and promote the best management techniques in malt barley product,” said Michael Brophy, president of the Brewing and Malting Barley Research Institute. The program is intended to showcase the importance of the malting barley industry and its $740 million in farmgate receipts. Malting barley requires growers to follow precise agronomic practices and exacting storage standards. The following growers are this year’s Elite Barley program winners. Verdant Hutterite Colony Drumheller, Alta. The Verdant Hutterite Colony has grown malt barley for more than 30 years and has been one of the colony’s most profitable crops. The colony usually grows 2,500 to 3,000 acres of malt barley each year, following a careful crop rotation plan. Normal rotation is two years of wheat, followed by a year of canola and then malt barley for one or two years. Certified seed is bought every second year, said farm manager John Wipf Jr. The crop is straight cut and combining begins at 16 percent moisture before the barley is put into aeration bins. “If you grow it you have to treat it right,” said Wipf. “We seed it first and take extra care of it. We grow it right after canola and it’s the first thing we seed and the first thing we harvest,” he said.

canola on pea stubble. Certified Metcalfe and Copeland are the two most common varieties seeded, usually right after peas in the spring. In recent years it has increased its seeding rate to 2.4 bushels per acre. Harvest in northern Alberta is always a challenge, making early seeding dates important to ensure good quality barley and avoid dews that cause staining. The barley is straight combined at 15.5 to 15 percent moisture and put in an aeration bin to dry. The early harvest also allows early selection by the maltsters. Good sampling of all loads is a key part of the farm’s storage management. Roger Begrand St. Louis, Sask. Roger Begrand has grown malt barley for more than 30 years and this past year it took up about half his farm’s crop acreage. Begrand seeds on canola stubble and never on cereal stubble. He stores his barley in an old crib elevator in small segregations, which makes it easy to keep quality separate and to turn the stored barley. The sandy loam soil is ideal for growing malt barley and with access to a rail line he can load up to 20 producer cars a day.

Begrand believes using certified seed is key to growing good malt barley and growers shouldn’t be afraid to switch between two row and six-row barley. The malt barley advocate believes western Canada grows some of the best quality grain in the world. “Part of that success comes from the great industry we have in Western Canada. The research that’s done on malt, the people involved and how they work together. It’s not just the producer. The industry is fully interconnected to get beer into the bottle.”

MALTING BARLEY | HOW DID THEY DO IT?

Toasting the best in

Barley

Sunshine Hutterite Brethren Hussar, Alta. About one third, or 3,000 acres of the colony’s crop is planted to malt barley. It’s the best growing, best paying crop there is, said colony farm staff. It’s a forgiving crop — you can make a mistake and it will still grow well. It’s the easiest thing to grow and it doesn’t cost you what canola does to put in the ground. Metcalfe is the colony’s preferred variety and they know it is well accepted by domestic maltsters and export customers. Each year the colony signs a production contract so they know what specifications must be met. Malt barley is seeded first after a burn-off with glyphosate to control weeds, usually on canola stubble. The early seeding allows the colony to harvest early. Combine operators also make numerous adjustments to equipment during the evening to reduce the chances of peeled and broken kernels. The colony’s best tip is to straight combine the crop. Bork Farms Chipman, Alta. Malt barley has become a viable crop in the Bork Farm mix. The family believes strongly in production contracts to ensure guaranteed movement of their crop.

“The returns have been as good as hard red spring wheat or durum wheat over the years.” Rotation is key to ensuring quality and no contamination in the barley. Early seeding each spring is also key. The family tries to straight cut all the crops on the farm, but sometimes must resort to using a swather if the crop is too green. Post harvest sampling is one of the most important aspects of achieving malt barley. Copeland believes the selection of genetics and the use of production contracts have been key to his success. He chooses malt genetics that the industry is looking for. Copeland believes there is more to barley than beer. It’s a good crop with a lot of positive attributes.

Copeland Farms Rosetown, Sask. Bob Copeland has been growing malt barley all his life, as did his father before him. The barley variety Copeland is named after the family because of their commitment to the malt barley industry. About 30 to 40 percent of their farm acreage is devoted to malt barley varieties. “We find it an easy crop to grow,” said Copeland.

Jeff Wheaton began growing malt barley the same year he started farming in 1994. The crop now makes up 17 percent of his acres because of its reliability and lower cost to produce. Barley is not prone to problems like wheat midge, fusarium and ergot and ripens in 100 days, a big bonus at harvest. Wheaton is not scared to switch varieties as they become available. In the past couple of years he has grown PolarStar under a production con-

tract. He believes it is important to use a seed treatment for smut diseases and has developed a comprehensive weed and fertilizer plan. The crop is straight cut at 13.5 percent moisture and he tries to harvest early to reduce harvest quality problems. All bins are numbered and every sample pail labeled with corresponding bin numbers. He uses a thermometer to monitor the bins throughout the winter. Land and Sky Grains Grenfell, Sask. Ryan and Lauren Maurer are Canada’s largest supplier of identity preserved wheat for Warburton’s Bakery in the United Kingdom. Those same high standards have made them successful malt barley growers. Accurate record keeping, a food safety protocol and adoption of new technology to preserve soil, air and water quality are all part of their consumer focused production approach. Certified seed is used with seed treatment to reduce the potential for seedling disease pressure. The family straight combines the crop where possible. In some cases they pre-cut ripe areas. The harvested crop is stored and sampled separately. Aeration fans are key to maintaining moisture levels and bins are

equipped with temperature monitoring cables. As part of the management system, the family follows food safety protocols to ensure seeding, handling, harvesting, storage and transportation equipment is clean and free of contaminants. Howard Linnell Hafford, Sask. Malt barley is Howard Linnell’s second most lucrative crop after canola and makes up about onethird of the acres on his northern Saskatchewan farm. The land is suited for growing malt barley and consistently produces low protein grain. Linnell’s barley has been accepted for malt in 24 of the past 25 years. Linnell uses certified seed and careful monitors his rotations planting malt barley on the most suitable field. The barley is swathed when it is very ripe and combined within a few days. Aeration is used to manage the drying process. Sampling is key to keeping accurate records from each load and bin. Linnell advises new growers not to fertilize too much and cut back on nitrogen. He suggests using registered seed, trying new varieties and not growing barley back to back. He sometimes uses a summer fallow-canola-barley rotation or a summer fallow-canola-barley-canola rotation. Ironwheel Farms Inc. Shaunavon, Sask. Richard Davis has participated in several identity preserved, specific quality control production malt barley contracts with Viterra and other companies like Sapporo. Because of his long-term relationships he has learned the value of participating in different company programs. His cropping rotation includes pulses, mustard, wheat, durum, canola and malt barley. His PolarStar certified seed from Sapporo was seeded on chickpea and pea stubble. The family straight combines the malt barley below 13.5 percent moisture and the barley is harvested with part of its awn left on to prevent peeling and cracking. All the production is sampled during binning and all samples are submitted immediately after harvest. Aeration is used in the bins.

Planning is key to the success of the Hewson family’s malt barley program. Before planting, the family looks at the barley varieties that are in demand and are appropriate for their area. They also look at the production contracts offered and then make their decision about what to plant. In 2010, malt barley made up about 1,200 acres of their 7,500 acre farm. The barley is seeded early and they apply fungicide in most years. Harvest usually involves swathing and combining soon after. The crop is put into an aerated bin. Accurate sampling is key to ensuring they have a representative sample for each bin. Their advice for other producers is to seed early.

doesn’t work,” Lingenfelter told reporters. “We have a choice of letting those communities basically fail because they can’t raise the money locally or putting together a program of assistance from the provincial government based on the wealth of our resources, to put together a major infrastructure renewal program for rural communities.” Roads, bridges and culverts should all be included in such a program. Some small bridges cost $1 million each and some municipalities have many, he noted. Lingenfelter said skating rinks, community facilities and seniors’ centres also need help to pay for

power and natural gas. About 30 seniors’ centres have closed in the last four years, he said, because there wasn’t enough money to keep the buildings operating. Health care remains the number one issue for the NDP, he added.

Keeping an eye on potential flooding is another concern. Lingenfelter, who also serves as his party’s agriculture critic, said farmers in northeastern Saskatchewan might have a difficult time paying crop insurance premiums this year because they have no cash flow. Premiums have gone up to reflect the rising commodity prices and Lingenfelter said costs might be unmanageable. Many expect the March 7 to May 19 session to have a campaign-like atmosphere as the two main parties debate policies. The Saskatchewan Party governent has 38 members and the NDP ment has 20. ,

Foundation supports food projects KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) — Amid global unrest over food security, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said last week it is launching a new effort to support agricultural research projects in Africa and Asia aimed at helping small farmers increase crop yields and far m incomes. The Gates Foundation, which is already a force in agr icultural research and development in Africa, said it would donate $70 million to a new collaboration that will focus on addressing threats to food production in the developing world, including crop diseases, pests, poor soils and harsh weather. The Gates Foundation has a long history in agricultural development, spending more than $2 billion for projects in developing countries. The United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) is partnering with Gates and will contribute $32 million over the next five years to the effort. Gates officials said the money will go toward scientific research that helps farmers produce more and better food. The partnership comes as escalating food prices are putting millions at risk of hunger and malnutrition and threatening economic and social stability throughout the world. World Bank data released this month showed higher food prices — mainly for wheat, corn, sugars and edible oils — have pushed 44 million more people in developing countries into extreme poverty since June 2010. World Bank chief Robert Zoellick said this month that global food prices have reached dangerous levels, and warned that the impact could complicate fragile political and social conditions in the Middle East and Central Asia. Through the collaboration, Cornell University is receiving $40 million to continue its work to develop wheat varieties that are resistant to emerging strains of stem rust disease, such as Ug99, which are spreading out of East Africa and threatening the world’s wheat supply. Wheat represents approximately 30 percent of the world’s production of grain crops and nearly half of that production will be harvested in developing countries. The Ug99 rust strain is particularly deadly to many popular varieties of wheat, and scientists around the world are racing to find a solution. “The Ug99 and related strains of the rust fungus are really pretty dangerous on most of the world’s wheat,” said Gates Foundation senior program officer Kathy Kahn. “It is an urgent problem.” But the foundation’s work is not without its critics. Some say the Gates Foundation and its private sector partners, including biotech crop leader Monsanto, are pushing to industrialize agriculture and commercialize genetically engineered crops in Africa at the expense of small farmers and the environment. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FARM SAFETY | AUGERS

Freak auger accident alters career, sports Setting out new goals | A farm worker looks to become an occupational health inspector and try out for the Paralympics BY CALVIN DANIELS FREELANCE WRITER

Jason Lafreniere remembers July 17, 2007, as just an average day shipping grain. However, it would end up being anything but average for the farm hand from Gilbert Plains, Man. Lafreniere was training a young worker at the farm’s seed cleaning operation. “I was standing over the drag auger,” he said. The auger moved grain from bins across the floor to another area of the operation. The unit was covered with a shield, so everything appeared safe. Then chance took over. A bearing located at the end of the auger went, causing the auger to buckle and snake along its length and lift the shield. “It threw me to the ceiling,” said Lafreniere. When he came down, Lafreniere fell on top of the still turning auger. His left leg was caught in the auger and he knew immediately he was in trouble. “I was awake for everything.” He knew he was going to lose the leg. “When I looked over my right shoulder I could see my ankle in my boot.” The boot sat several feet away. Lafreniere said his leg, which was caught in the auger, looked like ground beef. “I knew they were going to amputate. I just didn’t know how high up.” That decision would lie with doctors in several hours. However, it would take three hours to release Lafreniere from the auger and another hour for an ambulance to take him to the hospital in Dauphin, Man. Lafreniere said he was lucky because he normally worked alone in the seed cleaning plant for entire

shifts. He probably wouldn’t have survived if he had been alone that day. But the trainee was there and his bosses were nearby. Lafreniere said he chewed through a number of tree branches that were placed in his mouth as he was cut free, but he persevered. That is what he has done since then as well, not letting the loss of his left leg from just above the knee get him down. He said the most difficult part was facing the reality of the situation. “It sucked. It really did. I was always the guy that wanted to get up and go do things,” he said. Doctors wanted him to stay in the house when he got home, but Lafreniere said he couldn’t deal with just sitting around. “I’d go drive to the field and sit in the combine,” he said. Lafreniere’s desire to get back into life pushed him in his rehabilitation. He was walking on a prosthesis within three months. “The doctors wanted me to wait a year,” he said, but he had his own deadline. “They wanted me to use a wheelchair to go down the aisle (at his wedding Dec. 22), but I said I was walking. That was my goal.” Lafreniere is now getting back into the routine of life with three artificial legs: one allows him to run and another is waterproof. He said goals are critical to dealing with a situation like losing a leg. When he was in the rehabilitation centre in Winnipeg, “a lot of people didn’t want to walk. They really didn’t have a goal in life.” Lafreniere has set more goals, including becoming an occupational health inspector. He said people can become lazy on a job site and do things such as stepping over a moving power take-off. It’s a risk they do not need to take, he added. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

“Take your time,” he said. “Lots of guys think it won’t happen to them. That’s what I thought, too.” Lafreniere said it isn’t easy adjusting to life with an artificial leg. “I get frustrated some days,” he said. There are things he can’t do the way he did previously. For example, Lafreniere can’t

return to work as a farm worker because he can’t use the clutch on equipment with his leg. He also played hockey, which is no longer possible, although he is back on skates, this time coaching a pee wee girls’ team in Gilbert Plains. He said even that can be frustrating because he is forced to explain things

rather than showing them to the aspiring players. “I tell them if I had two good legs I’d skate circles around them,” he said with an always ready smile. Lafreniere also fought rodeo bulls for 14 years, first on the Manitoba high school circuit and then regular rodeos across the province. His love of bull fighting is so deep that he and wife Shari attended a Professional Bull Riders rodeo in New York for their honeymoon. He likes thrills and is looking for a new way to provide them away from the rodeo arena. “I’m going to try and get on the bobsled team for the Paralympics,” he said. He will attempt to get a tryout in Calgary for the Canadian team and if that falls through, he has been told he can try out in the United States.

TUNIS, Tunisia (Reuters) — Food stocks are depleted and supply chains disrupted in Libya, the United Nations’ World Food Programme said last week as it made an urgent call for humanitarian aid to the country mired by political unrest. Responding to the critical situation in North Africa, the WFP is launching a $39 million US emergency operation to provide food assistance to 2.7 million people in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, it said in a statement. “We call for safe humanitarian access, especially to western Libya,” WFP executive director Josette Sheeran said in a statement after visiting the Libyan-Tunisian border March 1. “Cutting off food supplies must not be used as a weapon,” she said. Under its contingency plans, the WFP has re-routed shipments of wheat and flour to the Tunisian border and the Libyan port of Benghazi. “We are planning for a threemonth emergency operation that will help shore up Egyptian and Tunisian food safety nets and will also purchase food from the region to help ensure that recovery from the disruption can begin immediately,” she said. Thousands of migrant workers desperate to leave Libya are stranded at the border with Tunisia, sleeping in the open and getting little if any assistance. Meanwhile, WFP says it is also worried about the food situation within the country. “People arriving at the crossing are reporting that food availability varies from town to town. Food is scarce in some parts of the country,” WFP spokesperson Abeer Etefa said. Food shortages were reported in Zawiyah, a city 50 kilometres west of Tripoli held by rebels but surrounded by pro-Gaddafi forces. Some refugees said the price of bread had gone up 20 percent. Libya relies on imports for more than 90 percent of its food. “It’s clear that the turmoil and the fact that roads are not safe are putting pressure on food supplies,” Etefa said. The WFP dispatched a team to Benghazi last week to check if the port was safe for food deliveries and inspect the food supply situation there.

CONSTRUCTION | ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS

Alternatives found to traditional stick-built homes ENERGY FIELD

Options take into account local materials and weather realities

helter is one of humanity’s most basic needs, along with food and clothing. Folks have always worked with what is at hand, be it snow to make igloos for the Arctic winter or branches to make overnight shelters in the bush. Stud construction, the norm in Canada and the United States, was developed because it allowed the use of smaller trees than those required for the timber frame construction, which had been the previous standard. Renewable evergreen forests have ensured that studs have remained popular. But there are many other building materials used commonly throughout the world. Indigenous bamboo is a strong and fast growing resource. In the hot part of the southern U.S. there are adobe houses made of sun-dried bricks. Prairie sod sheltered many pioneers. Second generation western Canadians likely favoured oven-fired brick and stone houses from locally sourced materials due to their European histories. In many parts of the world, pouredin-place concrete structures use abundant sources of sand or gravel as the main ingredient, reinforced with steel bars. There is also cob construction, which uses sand and clay mixed with straw and other field residue. The mixture is installed in layers and left to dry, with walls as much as two feet thick. As with the old sod access=subscriber section=news,none,none

house, it is critical to have good overhangs to keep rain from soaking the walls. Stackwall or cordwood construction uses short or split logs, stacked like cordwood and separated and held together by mortar. Many of these techniques might not be energy-effective in northern climates. Cliff Shockey from Vanscoy, Sask., sandwiched 10 inches of batt insulation between an outer layer of eightinch stackwall and an inner layer of six-inch stackwall for a wall thickness of 24 inches. The building has been standing for more than thirty years. He also built a second house, an office, and a sauna using the same technique. Various combinations of soil and cement are also used for building. There is hempcrete, which is hemp mixed with Portland cement; poured earth, which is soil and Portland cement; cast soil, which is soil with gypsum; and papercrete, which is re c y c l e d p a p e r w i t h Po r t l a n d cement. Rubber tires and soil form the earthship. The tires are laid flat, tread-to-tread, and the inner spaces are filled and hammer pounded full of soil. Earthships are sometimes built into a slope and backfilled on the backside. The practice is used worldwide, and is effective in southern climates such as southwestern Mexico. Straw bale houses seem counterintuitive, especially given the experience of the three little pigs. With outer stucco and inner plaster layers, the stacked bale walls become extremely strong and fire-resistant. Some use post and beam framework for the supporting structure such as the Eco-Centre in Craik, Sask. These self-supporting houses have been around for more than 100 years in Nebraska. Straw bale structures use a variety of crop residue from crops such as rice, wheat, barley, oats, or flax. The latter makes a lot of sense in

Chris Newton and Sandra Burkholder built their earthship, a tire and pounded dirt home, over the past three years near Darefield, B.C. | SANDRA BURKHOLDER PHOTO farm country given that flax straw is often otherwise burned. Alternative building techniques use locally available and economical materials. They produce buildings that are different and aesthetically interesting. Frequently the outer and inner surfaces of the buildings are done with hand plastering over an uneven surface, which creates a more free-flowing or organic appearance than the straight plane style of conventional construction techniques. Sometimes the inside walls are curved or non-square, making interior spaces seem less confining. Some techniques aren’t well suited for a cold climate. Many have walls that provide a temperature buffering solar mass, such as concrete-earth, which is poor in prolonged cold. Stone castles used fabric wall hangings not merely for decoration but to moderate chilling cold being emitted from the walls. There are other practical challenges to the adoption of the alternative building techniques. Typically they are labour intensive. Often volunteers are used in pioneer-

Dylan and Amy Johns’ flax bale home under construction near Lumsden, Sask. | DYLAN JOHNS PHOTO style house-building bees. Many of these volunteers are not locals, but from the larger community of eco-enthusiasts who are fulfilling both their personal commitment and their curiosity. When it comes to housing, the construction industry is slow to change. The use of alternative building techniques is not likely to see widespread adoption and it will fall to the hands of a few dedicated, specialty

contractors or enthusiastic do-ityourself builders to construct innovative and unusual buildings, using local resources that are abundant and inexpensive.

VOLATILE MARKET | PROTECTION

Protect margins as ‘double dip’ recession threat lingers HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

oday’s world economy looks a lot like the economy in the early-to-mid 1970s, and that’s great for crop and meat prices. Those were years of spectacular profits for prairie farmers, just like in these last few years. The prices of

agricultural commodities traded on a much higher plateau. But although prices are higher generally, they are also volatile — in the way nitroglycerine is volatile — so farmers can’t forget about hedging margins. Those are some of the conclusions I gleaned from the GrainWorld conference in Winnipeg last week, reaffirming my views. I’m a long-time believer in the “long-term commodity bull market” theory and also in my personal “I’m reliving the 1970s” theory. But the spectre of deeper, deflationary economic problems lies under the surface, and nothing I heard from

all the analysts at GrainWorld dissuaded me from thinking that a “double dip” recession or worse is still a real possibility. Hence, even more reason for farmers to protect profits. As George W. Bush noted so memorably during the 2008 meltdown: “This sucker could go down.” I heard an economist from a big bank cautiously call for “sustained though gradual growth.” But he also suggested that geopolitical dangers to the U.S. economy and inflationary/deflationary dangers present in Asia could inflame and douse commodity prices. I heard meat market analysts find-

ing justification for higher retail meat prices, but also a significant danger of demand slumping on consumer rejection. I heard a vegetable oil market specialist saying China could provoke a powerful rally in canola prices if its stocks are lower than it claims. But he also noted that present prices seem “rich” compared to the fundamentals and reflect dangers that may not come true. Overall, the outlook for agricultural commodities is bullish, virtually every analyst at GrainWorld said. But that was also the case back in 2007-08 and look at what happened then. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Agriculture is life

My “reliving the 1970s” theory relies not just upon my having grown up then, but also on market history, which has shown a remarkably similar pattern. Crop prices that had been in a stable range for most of two decades exploded into a series of peaks with a much higher plateau. Farmers remember the 1970s mostly as a time of high prices, but the volatility then was masked by the much greater proportion of prairie crops marketed through Canadian Wheat Board pools, which evened out prices and masked the wild price swings in many years. Canola had just been invented in the early 1970s and few pulses were grown. But board grains are now a minority of farmers’ marketable assets, and options exist within the board system to price outside the pools. This exposes farmers to the market volatility. That’s either good or bad depending on how well a farmer markets his crops, or perhaps how much luck he has. But farmers need to keep that heightened level of exposure in mind. In recent weeks, canola November futures rose to more than $600 per tonne, slumped below $540, and climbed back to $580. Such volatility is typical in these types of periods. It’s nice to view this period as one of continuing high crop and livestock prices, just like folk memory of the 1970s. But it’s essential to remember that super-high prices don’t last long, and bull markets in commodities contain as many slumps as peaks. That’s what really happened in the 1970s.

The maximum shrinkage allowance has been fixed at zero percent at licensed process and transfer elevators, as of March 19. In other words, those elevators are not allowed to make a shrinkage deduction from deliveries of grain. CGC chief commissioner Elwin Hermanson described this as good new for grain producers. “They can now expect consistent deductions when they deliver grain to any type of elevator licensed by the CGC,” Hermanson said in a news release March 2. Shrinkage refers to the loss of weight in grain during handling or treatment. Currently, the maximum is zero percent at primary and terminal elevators. However following consultations with producers and other industry stakeholders, the CGC proposed making the rules the same at all classes of elevators. The Canada Grain Act gives the commission the authority to regulate maximum shrinkage allowance levels at elevators. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

CANOLA | PRICE PROSPECTS

Room for a drop | Good planting weather this spring or slipping demand could spell trouble for prices WINNIPEG BUREAU

There are multiple sources of strength for canola prices, but farmers shouldn’t assume prices can keep surging higher, says a Bunge trader and risk management specialist. If farmers plant 20 million acres this spring, even strong demand won’t stop canola prices slipping like they have in recent weeks. “The current flat price is very rich,” said Nicholas Hoyt of Bunge at the Canadian Wheat Board’s GrainWorld conference, referring to farmgate prices. Bunge forecasts farmers will plant 19.5 million acres in decent spring weather and more than 20 million in excellent weather. If weather allows farmers to plant the acreage they want and demand in China or elsewhere slips, prices could drop. Hoyt said the the industry hopes Chinese demand will account for three million tonnes of Canadian canola seed. Prices would weaken if China consumes two million tonnes or less. He said the recent $50 a tonne price slump reveals the market ‘s volatility, even with strong demand. Regardless of near term challenges, Hoyt painted a picture of increasing long-term demand: • European biodiesel production demands are so great that big spreads have developed between European and Canadian canola

prices. This is allowing shipments of Canadian canola oil into several European countries and seed to Dubai, which crushes and exports most of the products. • Canadian and American biodiesel mandates are new and demand will grow, especially if there are significant penalties for non-compliance for U.S. fuel producers. Hoyt said biodiesel demand is at the stage where corn ethanol demand was back in 2006, when it was just beginning to dramatically increase. • China’s need for vegetable oils could appear dramatically stronger in the near future if it has smaller stocks than it has indicated. The perception that China has adequate vegetable oil stocks “has kept prices almost artificially low globally, and if we do get to a point where China all of a sudden has 800,000 tonnes and not 1.3, 1.4 million tonnes … of veg-oils, you’re likely to see prices virtually explode over night.” Factors that could hurt demand include China’s blackleg policy, which limits Canadian canola exports to only a few Chinese ports and U.S. biodiesel production non-compliance penalties that don’t force companies to buy vegetable oils regardless of price. These bullish and bearish factors, coupled with tight North American veg oil stocks, set the stage for volatility. The recent sell off provides an example, he said. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Climate change to drive up food prices

GRAIN HANDLING

Land use | Growing demand for meat is putting pressure on livestock feed supplies BY BRUCE HEXTALL REUTERS NEWS AGENCY

CANBERRA, Australia — Global food prices are likely to keep rising as production struggles to match demand and extreme weather events become more frequent, a climatechange adviser to the Australian government said March 2. Ross Garnaut told an agricultural outlook conference that more severe weather events are inevitable, given climate change is “already in the system.” “There is going to be a growing intensity of adverse weather events so there is a need to respond to this.”

Garnaut said Australian farming would be deeply affected by climate change but could also benefit from its ability to generate carbon credits through carbon sequestration — the process of conserving or boosting carbon content of soils via techniques such as low-tillage farming. “So the general environment for Australian farming is going to be one of greater opportunities. It will be partly from wider opportunities to earn income, one of which will very large indeed, associated with biosequestration, as well as rising food prices,” he said. He said prices for farm products fell

in real terms during the second half of last century after the Green Revolution boosted productivity. However, this is no longer the case. “There will be a reversal in the 21st century .... Long-term trends suggest that food prices will increase fairly strongly,” he said, citing population growth, rising prosperity and the devotion of more farm land to biofuel production. Demand for higher protein food in developing countries such as China is putting pressure on livestock feed supplies while government policy is increasing the demand for biofuels. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CHS to expand elevators for shuttle trains CHICAGO, Ill (Reuters) — CHS Inc., the largest U.S. farm co-operative, has signed letters of intent to expand four grain facilities to handle 110-car shuttle trains. The locations, in North Dakota, Montana and Nebraska, are all on BNSF rail lines. Construction could start as early as May 2011 and completions are estimated over the next 12 to 18 months, CHS said. “With new or updated facilities, producers in these communities not only get faster service when they need to move their grain, but they will also benefit from increased market access, particularly to export access=subscriber section=news,none,none

customers served out of the Pacific Northwest,” John McEnroe, senior vice-president of CHS’s country operations division, said in a statement. CHS has another agreement with three Nebraska operations for a facility in Custer County, Neb. CHS said it also has expansion plans to accommodate 110-car trains at its Kershaw, Mont., location as well as its facility in Lakota, N.D., operating under Lake Region Grain. CORN MARKETS

Chinese growers expected to seed corn BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China’s farmers are likely to devote more acreage to corn than any other crop this spring to benefit from historic high prices, the government is expected to show in a report later this month. China turned corn importer last year, buying 1.57 million tonnes, its largest purchase in 15 years, which sent U.S. prices higher. The corn market, trading close to a 32 month peak, is highly sensitive to any supply shocks after the U.S. Department of Agriculture said huge corn plantings this spring were unlikely to swell razor-thin stocks much. Record Chinese corn prices, coupled with Beijing’s policy incentives to encourage grain production, will motivate farmers to grow more corn in 2011, while planting less soybeans, grain officials and analysts said. FARM EQUIPMENT

Russia plans equipment subsidy TAMBOV, Russia (Reuters) — Russia will spend $1.4 billion from this year’s budget to subsidize farm equipment leasing and may look into a cash for clunkers scheme to boost tractor purchases, its prime minister said. “I hope it will help reap a good harvest and stabilize the situation with food prices,” Vladimir Putin told a meeting of small farmers in the town of Tambov, adding that extra revenues to the budget would cover the cost.

Weather threatens Mexican crop MEXICO CITY, Mexico (Reuters) — Bitterly cold weather in February damaged about 1.8 million tonnes of Mexico’s winter corn crop in Sinaloa state, according to the country’s agriculture minister. Sinaloa produces 80 percent of Mexico’s fall-winter corn. “There is damage in Sinaloa that we estimate at 1.82 million tonnes of corn,” said Francisco Mayorga. Mexico produces mostly white corn to make the country’s staple tortillas and imports yellow corn from the United States for animal feed. High corn prices affecting the cost of tortillas have been worrying Mexican consumers.

Shipping industry facing financial crisis Global fleet getting bigger | Freight rates are also down, which is good news for bulk commodity shippers, such as farmers BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The recent deaths of four American hostages and capture of a yachting Danish family has drawn attention to the plague of piracy in the Indian Ocean. But for ship owners, operators and freight brokers, uncontrolled piracy is just another critical problem for the shipping industry, an industry that is slipping further into financial crisis as the rest of the world economy recovers. “Many owners will run out of cash,” said Montreal shipping broker Trevor

Lavender of Summit Maritime Corporation during the Canadian Wheat Board’s GrainWorld conference. “The cracks are starting to show.” The good news for farmers and other bulk commodity shippers is that freight rates are radically lower now than they were a few years ago, when the 2007-08 commodity bubble pushed ocean freight rates to unheard-of levels. The Baltic Dry Index, a common measure of the price of ocean freight rates, has recently slumped to near the critically low levels seen in the depths of the 2008-09 market crash. Lavender said that not only are access=subscriber section=news,none,none

huge fleets of ships looking for cargoes around the world, but large numbers of massive new ships are being launched every month. In January alone, 36 capesize bulk vessels were added to the world fleet, and that flow of new ships will continue for at least another year. The new ships being launched today were ordered in the height of the commodity boom, when many investors and shipping companies expected years of good shipping profits ahead of them. Just as with mortgage lending in the subprime situation, reckless lending to the ship industry led to a massive amount of overbuilding. “Never before has the scale of gam-

bli n g i n sh ipping rea ch ed th e extraordinary heights of the past few years, financed by an abundance of cheap credit and careless equity,” said Lavender. That easy credit has disappeared, forcing shipping companies to refinance their cheap bank debt with costly bond issues of up to 12.1 percent interest. Such expensive debt may lead some shippers into financial crisis and bankruptcy. Atop low freight rates and a huge oversupply of shipping lies the problem of piracy in the Indian Ocean, as Somali pirates harass, attack and chase cargo ships. The recent events in the Indian

Ocean have drawn attention to the problem again, but Lavender said the issue is unlikely to disappear as long as pirates keep getting away with it. “It is a disease for which the cure options are obvious to all, but the political will to take care of it is insufficient,” said Lavender. “The countries that participate in controlling these areas spend millions of dollars and with few exceptions, when they capture the pirates, they take away their weapons and let them go.” Lavender said one of his grainhauling clients heading for South America had to alter course and flee the African coast when pirates attacked a nearby ship.

Technotill shines in extremely muddy conditions

Mike Jensen has become a firm believer that as long as you can keep the tractor moving forward in a water-logged field, a seeding system equipped with Technotill will get the crop in the ground. Jensen, who farms at Plentywood in eastern Montana (straight south of Regina) had his second experience in 2010 of seeding crop in extremely muddy conditions with his John Deere air seeder equipped with the Technotill seeding system. “There was mud flying off every tire, and we did have to stop and put scrappers on the tires on the seeding tool,” says Jensen. “But even in those wet, muddy conditions the Technotill system performed absolutely flawlessly. “I seeded 600 acres of river bottom land for my neighbor and it was saturated last spring. He ended up with a 60 bushel crop of spring wheat in the fall which is pretty darn good for our country, so he was extremely pleased.” Jensen who crops about 800 acres of durum, peas and lentils on his own farm, converted his air seeding system to Technotill four years ago. He has a 33 foot wide, John Deere 610 air seeder with shanks set on nine inch spacing, and pulls a John Deere 787 tank. He pulls the equipment with a four-wheel drive John Deere tractor. As it was in many parts of Western Canada, that region of eastern Montana was extremely wet in the spring of 2010. Jensen had managed to get his own crop seeded, but a neighbor still had 600 acres of saturated river bottom land to seed in late May. The neighbor owns a drill equipped with paired row openers and packer wheels. “He had tried to seed this field but the equipment just mudded up too bad,” says Jensen. “It was getting late in the season and I offered to give it a try.” Jensen says they waited for the field to dry out only enough so the tractor could travel without getting stuck. “It was muddy, but we could move,”

he says. He placed the seed at about 1.5 inches deep and sidebanded about 175 pounds per acre of a granular fertilizer blend. “The muddy conditions didn’t seem to affect the Technotill seeding system a bit,” says Jensen. “The only time the runs might plug is when the tractor was spinning and we had to lift the tool bar out to get moving, and then when you put it back down there might be some plugging. But as long as you were moving it worked just fine.” A key feature of Technotill is even though the opener can be set to run shallow or deep in any soil condition, there is still only a thin layer of soil packed on top of the seed. As some Technotill users have noted, the actual seed placement changes, but in reality seeding depth is consistently shallow. Jensen says he had experience seeding in muddy conditions on his own farm about three years ago. He had 100 acres to finish and conditions were very wet, “We had mud flying off the duals that year too,” but he got the field seeded “and we had a really good crop.” Last spring, seeding this land for his neighbor, part of the challenge was to see just how much water and mud he could seed through. “Most of the time we could go, but one day I just about buried the tractor,” he says. “I did manage to get out, so I waited a day and it dried out enough that I could start again. “I think my neighbor would never have gotten that field seeded with his own equipment,” says Jensen. “And since I plan to be seeding more land this spring, I may not be available, so he is seriously looking at converting his machine over to the Technotill system as well.” For more information on the Technotill seeding system phone 780-352-9890 or visit the company website at: www.technotill.com

MACHINERY | VERTICAL TILLAGE

The Joker doesn’t kid around in mud and ruts Tool breaks and levels the ground | Discs rip into the soil surface and dries wet dirt BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Farmers in the most saturated areas of the Dakotas have had good luck drying fields with a new type of cultivator called the Joker. Chris Fishback, who farms heavy soil in the Red River Valley at Warner, South Dakota, had tried various vertical tillage configurations in what he called a futile attempt to dry his waterlogged fields. “You cannot use those types of implements if you have genuine mud,” Fishback said. “All you do is just slab it up and roll it out. Then you’ve got yourself a rock when you’re done because those slabs turn to concrete. “You make a lot of extra work for yourself trying to get all the junk broken up and smoothed out again.” Fishback said 2009 had been one of those bad years, with his combines leaving ruts a foot deep. He decided to buy the largest Joker cultivator available from the nearby Horsch-Anderson factory. “I went in with the Joker just before freeze up. It totally filled in the ruts and levelled things out in just a single pass. “It dried things up better than anything else I’ve tried. That’s because it operates on a completely different concept than anything else. “You don’t go deep. You run at a half-inch depth, just skimming the surface and breaking the crust. But it access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

When the Joker gets up to speed at 12 to 14 m.p.h., it throws soil four feet high and three feet left and right, says South Dakota farmer Chris Fishback. | JEREMY HUGHES PHOTO still dries things out.” He said it’s aggressive like a rotary tine or Phoenix harrow. “Every time a notch on a disc touches the soil, it moves that soil at least three or four feet to the left and the right. “It’s like a tiller. It throws the dirt and mud probably four feet into the air. By the time you’ve completed a single pass, you don’t have anything left that’s bigger than a silver dollar. “By running shallow over the surface, you don’t roll that mud up out of the field.” However, all good things come with a price. Fishback said the Joker has a high power requirement because it needs speed to work as intended. “The paperwork on this thing isn’t quite accurate. I’m pulling 25 feet with a 425 horsepower tractor, and it’s a handful. We need to run 12 to 14 m.p.h. to get the results we want.”

WORKING IN THE MUD Follow The Western Producer this spring as we cover the issues of working in the mud. Check out our ongoing coverage at www.producer.com. He said the machine is also a big power user because the tractor is running in mud and its discs are not flat like normal discs. Fishback attributes the discs’ aggressive action to their deep concave that rips at the soil surface. This action requires horsepower. Fishback said some Joker owners run them deeper in the fall, perhaps as much as two inches if the mud is extreme. He’s not convinced it’s necessary to

go that deep, but if there is a deeper fall run, then a shallow spring run may be needed to create the best seedbed. Horsch Anderson sales manager Jeremy Hughes said the Joker has been an effective tool for drying wet fields throughout the northern states. “We’ve found the best combination on wet soil is to use the Joker with the Roll Flex Finishing System package behind,” he said. “That combination lets the producer to get in the field planting sooner.” The Joker has two rows of 20-inch notched discs mounted up front on torsion bars. Each pair of blades is mounted on oil sealed, maintenance free bearings. The blade pairs will trip up and over rocks, unlike traditional discs that are on a gang and can be damaged by rocks.

In heavy trash, the disc arm allows a better flow of material through the machine compared to traditional discs. Spring-loaded packing wheels that follow the discs are another feature. Each wheel is made up of four spring steel segments that bolt to a central hub. Each segment forms a 90 degree arc comprising one quarter of the circle. As a wheel revolves into the mud, one arc segment compresses from the down force, causing it to change i nt o a n a rc t hat ’s l e s s t ha n 9 0 degrees. The spring pressure releases instantly when that arc segment revolves out of the mud, causing it to pop back to the original shape. The violence of this compression release slings off the mud. “We’ve done side-by-side field trials next to those big conventional

EQUIPMENT | MULTIPLANTER

Multiplanter performs miracles in mud BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BILLINGS, Mont. — Last year’s wet weather wasn’t limited to the Canadian Prairies. It also affected producers in the northern United States, including Tim Nessan of southern Montana. His rotation requires 9,500 acres of winter wheat, and last year he was seeding into conditions so muddy that he finally had to park his 60 and 80 foot John Deere no till drills. Luckily, Nessan had just taken delivery of a new drill he was going to demonstrate for the Multi-Farming Company of Australia. With nothing to lose, Nessan hitched one of his three Big Buds to the Multiplanter and made quick

work of the last 2,800 acres. The 80 foot Multiplanter is the first such machine in North America. Although designed for the normally dry Australian climate, Nessan said it’s ideal for wet conditions. “It pulled easily at 7.5 m.p.h. in the mud. In better conditions, we can do nine,” he said. “There’s not much of a furrow, so it wasn’t throwing up much dirt. This seeder is so simple. Very clean and all kinds of clearance. You look at it and you think there’s something missing.” Nessan puts down 70 pounds of nitrogen with his floater. Seed and startup fertilizer go down with the drill. “We ran all our seed and startup through the single tube on the Multi-

planter, just like we do with our other seeders. It has a second tube if you want to double chute and put down nitrogen. It doesn’t work up much soil, so that narrow packer seemed to work just fine. There’s no offset. It follows the shank exactly.” Hydraulic pressure on the 18-inch diameter wheels is adjusted in the cab. Each opener mounts to a parallelogram, independent of the frame, so it follows field contours. Each tip requires four horsepower in average soil conditions. Row spacing is 13.3 inches, or three rows per metre. “With the right cart, 700 bushels or more, we’ll seed a section a day. That’s a 12-hour workday.” Nessan likes the idea that the only grease points are at the front castor

tandem disc machines,” Hughes said. “They’re designed to plug with mud in my opinion. Straight disc gang axles and scrapers just provide more places for mud to collect and plug the machine. “Plus, those big traditional discs just throw slabs over. We don’t see that slabbing effect with the Joker. It grinds them up and smoothens them out.” Hughes said some customers in the Red River Valley and in corn country do a single pass with a deep ripper in fall and follow it with a single pass of the Joker in spring to achieve a smooth, uniform seedbed. “I’ve even seen guys get a nice

pass doesn’t create the desired seedbed. Horsch Anderson had imported the Joker from Germany but is now producing them at its factory in Andover S.D. The new series is named the MT (mounted three-point) and are available in 13, 15 and 20 foot widths. The current RT (pull type) series is available in 20 and 25 foot widths.

Sitting on an ancient Lake Agassiz beachhead sloping toward the northeast, these are two of the fields Joe Breker is managing by installing tile drainage, as seen in the distant field. | JOE BREKER PHOTOS DRAINAGE | TILES

Tile drains can turn saline land into workhorse Economically viable | With costs of $500 to $700 per acre, investing in tile drainage is the same as buying better land BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

HAVANA, N.D. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Prairie farmers think tile drainage is just for high value vegetable crops, but a North Dakota farmer says it can also pay in field crops like corn and soybeans. The key to making it pay is to do the fields where there is the most to gain, says Joe Breker, who started with a 380 acre trial project in 2005 on his farm near Havana. Years of heavy rainfall were increasing his salinity problem in some areas, while perpetual mud kept him

out of other areas. The payback period for tile drainage on broad acre field crops is typically seven to 10 years, but Breker said the tiles gave his farm enough extra bushels in the bin to accelerate the payback to three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been for the continuous wet weather, our payback would have been closer to the normal seven to 10 years.â&#x20AC;?

cern on this farm.â&#x20AC;? One of the most dramatic examples of the financial benefit of tiling is a field that Breker tiled in 2005. He had not tried to crop it since the early 1990s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is beautiful looking soil. You would think it should grow bumper crops, but seeds wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even germinate. I had given up on it. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even grow weeds,â&#x20AC;? he said. This particular field had been part of the southern most beach of Lake Agassiz following the retreat of the glaciers thousands of years ago. Today, a long line of hills on the southwestern horizon collects rain and snow melt and channels it northeast toward the old lakebed and the Red River Valley. The water table flows down from the higher elevation until it reaches an impervious layer below Brekerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm, at which point it travels sideways. The area where this water chooses to seep to the surface happens to be this long northeast-sloping field with prime soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured that if I could intercept and remove some of that seep water, this soil should be productive. Otherwise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land which I own thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of no value to me or anyone else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I tiled it in 2005, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on par with some the best ground I have on the whole farm. It went from absolute zero production to 40 bushel soybeans and 85 bu. spring wheat.â&#x20AC;? Upgrading land from low or no

yield to average or high yield is Brekerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of ensuring he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wasting his money on a new drainage project. Tile drainage in his area costs $500 to $750 per acre, depending on how far the equipment has to travel to reach the farm and how many acres are to be tiled at one time. The economics arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t difficult. The value of 100 acres that produce little or nothing because of salinity or mud is zero. Paying $750 per acre for tile drainage to make those acres productive is about the same as buying productive land for $750 per acre. In many situations, tile drainage can ensure a decent crop and eliminate enough risk that the new value may exceed $750 per acre. This may not be prudent where land prices are low but it could turn out to be an excellent investment in regions with productive soil and higher priced land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only interested in tiling a field that has problems with salinity or the water table is so high I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in there to work,â&#x20AC;? said Breker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On most of these saline spots, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only taken three years to move salts down in the soil profile to the point that saline sensitive crops such as soybeans and corn grow fine. Before tiling, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even germinate.â&#x20AC;? Salts in the worst patches move down as much as two feet into the lower soil profile within three to six years and the fields now yield as well as any average area on his farm. Prairie farmers often worry that tile drainage might extract so much moisture that even a slight dry spell will turn into drought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a legitimate fear and one I pondered myself before I made any decisions. I certainly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen,â&#x20AC;? Breker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But where we farm, at some point in a typical growing season, we get so

PRODUCTION much water that the crops suffer. It’s predictable. That causes de-nitrification, leaching and all kinds of nasty things associated with waterlogged soils. I know this limits our yields.” Breker’s area experienced a dry spell last August. Crops on his tiled spots acted droughty but still produced an average yield. However, it was a reminder to him that the salt was still down there. “There’s a chemical bond between salt and water down in the soil profile. That bond can create droughty looking crops. “You can have plenty of moisture, but the roots can’t access it because it’s tied up by the salts. “In the spring, plants on the tiled patches need to go searching for soil moisture. That’s a good thing. It builds a better root network. Those plants are healthier throughout the growing season, and probably more drought tolerant.” Breker is satisfied that tile drainage was a good investment but he doesn’t consider himself a promoter. Many people see tile drainage as an agronomic tool, but Breker believes it is mostly a risk management tool. “We pay careful attention to crop rotations. This allows me to do the kind of rotations I want without factoring in what the weather has handed me. “I no longer have to apply fertilizer in the fall because now I know I can do it in the spring without waiting for fields to dry up on their own. “I get my seeding done when I want, and that plays into getting my harvest done earlier. It’s all about eliminating risk.”

Low risk for most areas | Numbers were considered severe in 11 percent of sites BY ROBERT ARNASON

Predicting insect populations isn’t an exact science, but Manitoba entomologists are confident grasshoppers won’t be a problem in the province this year. “Most of Manitoba has a low risk of economical populations of grasshoppers in 2011,” Manitoba Agriculture concluded in its annual grasshopper forecast. Two factors led to that prediction: an extremely low number of grasshoppers in 2010 and poor egg laying conditions last August and September. “We had a lower population to start with and they didn’t get great egg laying conditions (in 2010), so we’re at the lower point in the grasshopper

cycle,” said provincial entomologist John Gavloski. Farm production advisers, entomologists and agronomists conducted grasshopper counts at 62 locations in Manitoba last August. Gavloski said 98 percent of the locations had grasshopper counts of zero to four per sq. metre, which is classified as a very light population. The remaining two percent of counts had light populations of four to eight insects per sq. metre. The 2009 count had found that 47 percent of sites had very light populations, 25 percent was light, 17 percent was moderate (eight to 12 per sq. metre) and 11 percent was severe (12 access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

to 24 per sq. metre). G ra s s h o p p e r s l i k e w a r m d r y weather at the end of the summer, but last year saw more total rainfall and more days of rain than normal in August and September. The wet and cool weather during that critical period prevented grasshoppers from mating and laying the

maximum number of eggs. As a result, Manitoba Agriculture is predicting very light grasshopper numbers in almost the entire province. The only exception is the area around Dauphin and Gilbert Plains, where the grasshopper populations are expected to be light.

TILLAGE | SOIL QUALITY

Organic management counters some negative effects of soil tillage ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

Higher soil biodiversity offsets some tillage issues

here is an abundance of research documenting the negative effects of tillage on soil. But according to Diane Knight from the University of Saskatchewan, tillage associated with organic food production is more palatable. “There’s something about being organic that makes tillage less bad,” Knight told people at the Organic Alberta conference in Spruce Grove Alta. No-till systems have many advantages such as greater biological activity and diversity, better soil structure, increased organic matter, and better nutrient retention. As a result, organic producers are frequently called to task for their excessive tillage. A common myth is that organic producers have simply replaced herbicide use with tillage. In fact, weed management on organic farms employs many useful tools, such as diverse rotations, increased seeding rates and appropriate cultivar selection. Although many organic producers have decreased their dependence on tillage, it remains an important tool. Some researchers and producers are experimenting with no-till organic systems, but these have not yet been entirely successful for field cropping on the Prairies. D o e s t h i s m e a n t hat o r ga n i c farms are destined to have poor soil quality? According to Knight, soil quality is the result of many biological, chemical and physical properties. Only one factor — soil organic matter — is easily influenced. Organic matter includes plant and animal material from crops, green manures, animal manures, compost, straw and other materials. It includes biological material that is breaking down, slowly decomposing and is relatively stable within the soil. Soil organic matter is important because it provides soil structure and food for soil organisms, including soil mites, bacteria and fungi. Such organisms are crucial in the cycling of nutrients, and thus in soil fertility. Knight emphasized the importance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, or AMF, a beneficial fungus. These fungi are important in helping many crop plants gather nutrients, and are an important indication of soil biological health. She said some research suggests that soils on organic farms support more of the beneficial AMF than con-

ventional farms do. In one study, the amount of crop colonized by AMF was three to six times greater on organic farms than it was on neighbouring non-organic farms. These results may come as a surprise to many. Tillage does damage AMF, primarily by cutting through its slender threads (or fungal hyphae) but apparently there other factors at play. AMF form relationships with most plants. These partnerships bring an array of benefits to the plants, including protection from plant diseases, promotion of growth and greater access to nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, zinc and copper. The partnership brings benefits to the AMF as well. The plant roots supply various polysaccharides to the AMF. These sugars are crucial food to the AMF, but they do take energy for the plant to produce. If there is an overabundance of nutrients, plants are less likely to form AMF partnerships. According to Knight, AMF form relationships with about 80 percent of land plants. Legumes, with the exception of lupins, are especially likely to form relationships with AMF. Maximizing legumes in rotations increases the amount of AMF in the soil. Plants in the canola-mustard-cabbage family do not form relationships with AMF. These plants decrease the amount of AMF in the soil, as do phosphorus fertilizers. These two factors probably account for the reduced levels of AMF on nonorganic or conventional farms. The benefits of AMF are not limited to improving plant growth. They also improve soil quality. The tiny threads of AMF extend throughout the soil and secrete substances that act like glue between soil particles. When soil is glued together into stable soil aggregates, these make the soil “fluffy” and porous. Soils with high aggregate stability are less prone to compaction, resist erosion, and have better aeration and water nutrient retention. As well, plant roots grow better within them. High aggregate stability is a factor in good soil structure. Organic rotations tend to emphasize legumes, both as crops and green manures, and often eliminate canola. Organic producers generally don’t use highly soluble phosphorus fertilizers. Soils under organic management tend to have higher aggregate stability, and more diverse and active soil organisms. This seems to counteract many of the potentially negative effects of tillage on organic farms, although tillage should still be used judiciously.

who appeared at recent committee hearings about biotechnology. They argued that approval of a GM alfalfa variety that regulators are now assessing would destroy the organic alfalfa business and cause problems for the organic beef and dairy sectors. The motion will pass with unanimous opposition support if it comes to a vote this week, as the Liberals want, but the Conservative minority on the committee will likely oppose it. Liberal agriculture critic Wayne Easter said if the committee approves the motion, he will push to have it quickly presented to the Commons for a debate before a potential dissolution of Parliament in late March for an election. “We want this dealt with quickly,” said Easter, who moved the motion March 3. “The role of government is to err on the side of caution, to ensure from a scientific perspective that all safeguards are in place.” He said Liberals are not convinced that is now the case. Even if approved, the motion would not be binding on the government. The motion says GM alfalfa should not be approved for commercialization unless government research proves GM and traditional alfalfa can co-exist and that identity preserved segregation can be guaranteed in the grain handling and transportation system. In a statement issued by the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, organic farmers praised the Liberal motion and called on other parties to support it. “It’s time our politicians started working for farmers, not Monsanto,” said Benoit Girouard, president of Quebec’s Union Paysanne. The Liberal motion, certain to be supported by the New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois, follows warnings from organic witnesses during a month of hearings on biotechnology that the most pressing issue for organic producers is a proposal to allow Roundup Ready alfalfa into the system. Last week, Organic Federation of Canada president Ted Zettel told MPs that GM alfalfa represents an “imminent risk to the entire organic production system.” He said organic alfalfa is exported as an organic feed but is also the base of Canada’s organic livestock and dairy sectors and is necessary for organic farms that use it as a rotation crop. “To compromise alfalfa does not compromise only a limited forage commodity,” he argued before the committee. “Alfalfa is grown in virtually every agricultural region from coast to coast. From the organic sector’s perspective, the possible introduction of a GE variety undermines our entire system of production.” He urged MPs to block its approval until “a full examination of the economic consequences is completed.” Zettel told MPs that the $2 billion organic sector should be respected when agriculture policy is drafted.

FARM SAFETY | FLOOD EMERGENCY TIPS

Plan ahead for problems floods, mud will bring Hazardous materials | Take steps to ensure chemicals, fuels and manure will not enter the water system STORIES BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

arm safety planning will be more vital than ever if wet conditions lead to flooding this spring. With a high snow pack and saturated soil, high water levels could affect many aspects of farm life that producers take for granted, like drinking water, mobility and the safety of farm animals. “Drinking water is one of the biggest things that is affected when flood waters rise,” said Kenda Lubeck, an Alberta farm safety co-ordinator. “Something farmers can do now is plan to have potable water for themselves and their animals.” Wells and dugouts are susceptible to contamination during a flood so Lubeck encourages farmers to have their drinking water tested frequently this spring. In addition, farmers should be sure that potential sources of contamination including herbicides, pesticides, lubricants and manure piles cannot compromise the water system. “When there’s a flood, nothing gets spared, so everything should be moved to high ground before flooding occurs.” Rhonda Coupland, an emergency expert with Manitoba Agriculture, said farmers need to get their basic information down on paper because once an emergency situation arises, it’s often too late to think clearly. She suggests writing out farm directions and leaving a copy in the

house, in your tractor and in your farm shop. With emergency response systems becoming more centralized, Coupland said first responders are often not familiar with many parts of their territory. As a result, quick response times often hinge on good directions and exact co-ordinates. “The days when everyone knew

their EMS person are gone and even saying turn at the big red barn is not helpful when the responder is not from the area or when it’s dark out,” said Coupland. “Think about it ahead of time so that way panic will not take over and you’ll be able to refer to the instructions you’ve prepared.” A rural emergency kit is available by visiting www.ruralemergencyplan.com. The site provides instructions on how to build a waterproof tube in which farmstead site maps can be stored. Maps should specify the locations of all hazardous materials on the farm, as well as locations of hydrants, gas shutoff valves and fuel tanks. The tube should be made visible with reflective markings and should be installed on a utility pole

in the yard. The website also includes a variety of forms to place in the emergency tube, including location of emergency equipment, contact numbers and special considerations in case of spills, floods or fires. Cellphones and portable phones are another valuable resource in an emergency situation. Coupland encourages farmers to keep their phones charged at all times and to make a backup communication plan in case cellphone coverage is limited. “If you’re going to be working in a certain location, you need to make people aware of where you’re going and how long you’ll be there.” She suggests that farmers also rely on their neighbours, pointing to the fact that many farmers and their partners work out of the home so

staying in contact is not as easy as it used to be. “The key is letting people know where you’re working and communicating every once in a while.” Coupland also warns that the melting and freezing conditions experienced so far this winter have led to situations where water might be running under the snow cover. “In Manitoba, some water has kept running all winter which people cannot see, so make sure you know that the (ice) you’re about to go on is solid or not.” For more information on farm safety issues, including the golden rules of farm safety, visit the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association website at www.casaacsa.ca. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FARM SAFETY | FARM EQUIPMENT

Proper training helps identify dangers, prevent accidents

hile farm machinery has become safer over the years, Saskatchewan Occupational Health & Safety said accidents still occur in the agricultural sector at an alarming rate. In each of the last five years, an average of 14 farmers lost their lives in farm-related accidents in the province, according to statistics gathered jointly by OHS and the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan. In addition, about 200 farms required hospitalization due to agriculture-related incidents over that same time period. The most dangerous situations involved power-mobile equipment, electricity and confined spaces, said OHS director of safety services Jennifer Fabian. “Anything with moving parts presents a danger, but power takeoffs are particularly awful.” In 2010, a variety of accidents led to deaths including a farmer who was engulfed in grain, farmers who were run over by tractors and one farmer who was killed when a towing line snapped.

With a wet spring on the horizon, Fabian said it is more critical than ever for farmers to be aware of the dangers that getting stuck and pulling out equipment can present. “A tow configuration can break at the hook or on the line, so you need to make sure the tow rope or tow chain you’re using is properly graded for that task. “The other portion is the hook and that has to be rated for what you’re using and our regulations require it to have a lock on it.” If farmers are using a chain or rope to pull out machinery, OHS recommends that two rubber tires be placed through the towing line so if a break occurs, the line will snap back with less force due to the weight of the tires. Another important thing to remember is to turn off a tractor or vehicle before exiting. “It’s surprising how many farmers have been seriously injured or killed by being running over by their own equipment,” said Fabian. “Even a slow-moving tractor is extremely dangerous.” In most industrial settings, workers are required to take a minimum of 16 hours of prescribed training to access=subscriber section=news,none,none

operate power-mobile equipment. The course includes a combination of classroom and hands-on instruction. While these regulations do not apply to farm operations, Fabian recommends that all farmers access this training because of the safety information that is provided. “I know that many farmers have

lots of experience operating equipment and they might think it’s silly to suggest getting training … but it’s not the operating, it’s the training as it relates to the safety aspects.” One of the most basic safety measures to employ is a walk-around whenever equipment is being used. Fabian said this one small step can prevent people from getting run

over and can identify problems with equipment that might lead to an accident. In addition, OHS suggests that farmers take time this spring to explain to their children what the rules of the farmyard are. The Farm Safety Guide can be found online at www.lrws.gov.sk.ca/ farm-safety-guide.

very farm should have at least one first aid kit. Think about the places where accidents are most likely to occur, such as the shop, on the tractor, in the barn or in the kitchen, and make sure there are first aid supplies in those places. Label first aid kits and make sure each family member and farm worker knows their location. Keep a list of emergency numbers beside each phone and include the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land location. Try to make sure each field worker has a fully charged cell phone. Alberta Occupational Health and Safety recommends a list of first aid contents and supplies. It is the standard used by other industries for emergency first aid treatment and contains enough material for up to nine workers: â&#x20AC;˘ Ten antiseptic cleansing pads, individually packaged. Use for cleaning wounds and abrasions. â&#x20AC;˘ Twenty-five sterile adhesive dressings individually packaged. Use to cover open wounds. â&#x20AC;˘ Ten 10 by 10 centimetre sterile gauze pads, individually packaged;. Sterile gauze pads can be used for various sizes of wounds. â&#x20AC;˘ Two 10 by 10 cm sterile compress dressings, with ties, individually packaged.

igh stress levels during harvest put farmers at a greater risk for accidents, says Kevin Kelloway, the Canada Research Chair in occupational health psychology at Saint Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University. He said stress goes up at the busiest times of the year, particularly spring and fall. However, Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting has found that 13 percent of all farm fatalities occur in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the fall, there are a lot more concerns about getting the harvest done and what the weather has done to your crops,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a problem, you start worrying, and your mind wanders.â&#x20AC;? Kelloway said this leads to cognitive failures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under a lot of stress, we make mistakes. We forget things that we know really well.â&#x20AC;? He said seemingly simple tasks can become fatal if the person isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A very common farm accident is a roll over from taking a too sharp of a turn in a tractor,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the one day they are not paying attention.â&#x20AC;?

Agriculture said stress can also effect extended members of the family because everyone does more work around the farm at the busiest times of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When kids end up doing more work than they should or tasks that they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready for, it puts them at a higher risk for injury,â&#x20AC;? said Mechor.Â Added Kelloway: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may have been taught to use the equipment, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it every day.â&#x20AC;Ś Young workers are more prone to accidents.â&#x20AC;? He said long work hours and disrupted sleep patterns can also lead to accidents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything gets worse when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleep deprived.â&#x20AC;? However, Kelloway said there are effective ways to focus on the task at hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In your head, shout â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when you catch yourself worrying about something to jolt yourself out of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even thinking through things step by step can help you focus on what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;? Exercise, sleep and having someone to talk to can also help alleviate stress, he added. Mechor recommended a farm safety plan that includes training farm workers, wearing protective gear and notifying family and friends of your whereabouts when heading out to work on the farm for the day. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FARM SAFETY | CATTLE HANDLING

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time can be painful Understand behaviour | Cattle are calmer if they can see what is happening ahead FREELANCE WRITER

The risk of injury for farm workers on beef and dairy farms is twice the average for other types of production. Sixty-eight percent of injuries to 16- to 59-year-old men are caused by cows during calving season from February to June, while men older than 60 are more likely to be killed by bulls in August as breeding season begins. Women arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exempt, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to be hurt in horse related injuries caused mostly by falls when riding. Dr. Earl Davis of Melfort, Sask., has seen plenty of injuries at calving time during 36 years of veterinary practice. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been on the receiving end a couple of times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a one or two day period of hysteria in some cows where they are quite protective of their calves,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cows may charge. Most farmers are aware of that, but still itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get in the wrong place at the wrong time and you can get hurt. The protection of that newborn is built right into their psyche and some take it a little more seriously than others. â&#x20AC;? He said producers need to design a modular arrangement for cattle management and move cattle in smaller groups. They should build five smaller enclosures and one larger one instead of one corral that can hold 100 cows. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to always provide a way out for the handler, which multiple side-by-side systems do by ensuring that a fence is close by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Move miserable cows to a pen of their own. Let them calm down for a couple of days,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agitated cows put farmers at risk and they also pose a danger to calves. We see it happen every year where agitated cows get clumsy. They run over other cowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; calves, step on their chest and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a dead calf.â&#x20AC;? Understanding cow behaviour can make handling them safer and easier. For example, cattle are herd animals and have a strong instinct to follow the leader. They want to stay with the group and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be singled out. A working chute that is at least six metres long will allow cattle to see several other cows ahead of them, which has a calming effect. Harsh contrasts of light and dark frighten cattle. Try to keep light intensity uniform and diffuse in working areas and patterns as uniform as possible with no sudden changes in floor level or texture. Alternating light and dark patterns or forcing cattle to look directly into the sun will cause them to balk. Locate loading and squeeze chutes north to south to minimize the effects of bright sunlight. Cattle are also easily spooked by movement such as turning fan blades or a piece of plastic flapping in the wind. Walk through the chute and check for distractions and obstructions before moving or loading cattle. Handlers should stand back from the head gate so that approaching access=subscriber section=news,none,none

animals cannot see them. Solid sides in the crowding pen and working and loading chutes will prevent animals from seeing people, equipment and other outside distractions. Catwalks along chutes and alleys help keep handlers safe. Guardrails are recommended if the catwalk is more than 45 centimetres off the ground. Handling systems equipped with crowding pens and safety gates ensure that an animal canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back out once it is in the system. Davis said this makes the process smoother

and safer for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time an animal escapes, the harder it is to get them back and the more agitated they become,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Producers who handle their cattle a lot, who go out and work with them and check them frequently have calmer cattle, whereas cattle raised in a bush pasture could be dangerously wild.â&#x20AC;Ś There are several theories as to why that is. A lot think that with bush cattle there are a lot more wild animals nearby, making them sensitive to the threat of coyotes, wolves and so on.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;˘ Cattle can see nearly 360 degrees without moving their heads because of the placement of their eyes. A sudden movement from behind can startle them

and adjust to their changed surroundings after moving them to a confined area such as a milking parlour, stall or squeeze chute

â&#x20AC;˘ Always let a cow know when you are approaching. Speak in a moderate voice and avoid sudden movements. Let your first contact be a gentle touch

â&#x20AC;˘ Gentle cows can become aggressive and dangerous when defending calves

â&#x20AC;˘ Know your kickers, but be aware that any cow may kick. Remember that when a cow kicks, its leg moves forward and to the side

â&#x20AC;˘ Provide facilities so that a bull can be fed, watered, exercised and used for breeding without the handler coming into direct contact

â&#x20AC;˘ Give cows time to settle down

â&#x20AC;˘ Keep small children and strangers out

Children help on farm | Program is geared to keeping children out of danger STORIES BY LEISHA GREBINSKI

FREELANCE WRITER

n American farm safety program is helping Canadian children learn how to stay safe on the farm. “It’s good advice,” said 11-year-old Kaylee Ruecker. “It’s good to learn and it keeps you safe.” Ruecker helps feed elk, mow the lawn and tend the garden on her farm in Clear County in northwestern Alberta. A puppet show produced by Canadian members of Farm Safety 4 Just Kids helped Ruecker learn how to stay safe on the farm. Farm Safety 4 Just Kids is a nonprofit farm safety advocacy organization in the United States. It was started in 1987 by an Iowa mother whose son was killed in a farming accident. There are now 10 Canadian chapters. The chapter in Clear County organizes interactive safety demonstrations and contests. “Sometimes they’ll take a grain bin and show how fast you can sink in it,” said Ruecker. “If you don’t know about it, it can actually happen to you.” Audrey Bjorklund, who has worked with the county for 18 years, started the chapter in 2003. Since then, members have presented farm safety information to children pre-

Bjorklund said chapter members talk with children about animal safety, such as staying away from a mother animal when it is having babies. Bjorklund said one child from her community has died in an accident in the last five years. She credits Farm Safety 4 Just Kids for the community’s low fatality rate.

He said the company visits schools to talk about ATV and snowmobile safety, the potential danger of augers and grain safety. “You don’t have many 10 year olds working in the office with their parents, but all 10 year olds are working on the farm with their families.” The resources cost $250 a year, which includes the puppets, DVDs and other interactive games and contests.

arcel Hacault farmed for 22 years, and although his only workers were his children, he decided it was necessary to outline farm duties and safety concerns in writing. “My kids were always saying, ‘Dad, when you’re gone to meetings, things always go wrong,’ ” said Hacault. “And I wasn’t around to help.” That’s when accidents can happen. Hacault decided to write a document that outlined how to do a job and what to do if equipment malfunctioned. “When an incident does happen, it’s either because someone is in a hurry or something has gone wrong,” he said. “And you’re usually not around. A document can tell a worker what to do.” Hacault, who is now executive director of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA), is urging farmers to write their own standard operating procedure so that family, hired workers and relief staff can deal with farm jobs that go awry. “The document would take into account, for example, how you bale hay. Normally this is how you do it. But if it plugs, this is what you have to do,” he said. Hacault said CASA will soon release a workbook to help farmers

prepare a farm safety plan, including a standard operating procedure. “You are able to demonstrate that you actually have work procedures for when things go wrong,” he said. It’s also good business practice. “I think agriculture is growing up and we’re learning a lot of skills that can help us be more efficient. This is one of the tools that other businesses use that I think will help farmers be better farmers.” Hacault recommended farmers regularly update their standard operating procedure. “There’s always something new that can go wrong so you add it to the list. It becomes a living document so it isn’t hidden in your bookcase.” He said CASA will provide templates for farmers developing a standard operating procedure. Simple tasks can be written out while larger tasks can be illustrated using flow charts. He said these documents are a good idea even if farmers don’t anticipate anybody else working on the farm. “Spouses at harvest season get called into action to run the auger or the combine. It could be as simple as you twisting your ankle. Someone could take the operating procedures to do the task.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

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!

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 10, 2011

We didn’t invent the wheel, just the independent front axle suspension connected to it. If there is an innovation you enjoy on your tractor, chances are it was invented by Fendt. We invented the first cab suspension system, the first front axle suspension system, the first stepless transmission and we put the first armrest intergrated terminal in a tractor. Even today, we’re redefining what a tractor can and should do. If you’re ready to unlock the potential of your operation, come see what today’s Fendt can do for you. Or, you could wait a few years and wait for our competitors to catch up.

COMBINING IN THE SNOW

GRAIN HANDLING | RAIL SERVICE

Elevators criticize CPR performance Grain demand exceeds forecasts | Railway says bad weather has played havoc with service BY ADRIAN EWINS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Western Grain Elevator Association and Canadian Pacific Railway are in a spat about how much the railway needs to improve rail service. The WGEA reports that CPR continues to provide extremely poor service despite the imminent release of the rail freight service review panel’s final report. “ We e x p e c t e d t h e u p c o m i n g release of the report to result in improved service by the railways in an attempt to counter the serious performance concerns uncovered by the review panel,” said Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the WGEA. In response, CPR said it has been trying to provide context around the challenges of marketing demand and improving service. Breanne Feigel, manager of strategic communications and public affairs, said the railway wants to make collaboration and transparency with all WGEA members a priority. It also wants to understand their capacity needs. How e v e r, g ra i n d e ma n d ha s exceeded forecasts provided by grain marketers by at least 15 percent. And as mentioned in fourth quarter results, total unloads at Vancouver have exceeded the five-year average. Weather has presented another challenge. Over the past few months railways, elevators and ports have been affected by extreme weather, including avalanches. That’s not good enough for the WGEA. Since Aug. 1, less than 30 percent of the required cars have been delivered on time, the lowest level ever experienced by WGEA members. “The only sustainable solution lies in creating a legislated disincentive for poor performance that is significant enough to ensure it doesn’t happen in the first place, similar in nature to the to various penalties.” CPR’s quarterly report as of Jan. 26, 2011, shows an increase to all shippers except grain. In fact, CPR’s grain service is down 17 percent from the same period in 2009. That works out to $272 million worth of farmers’ product not moved. Feigel listed a number of service initiatives now underway, including

bulk scheduling, additional crews and locomotives and partner opportunities such as the one with Viterra and Port of Vancouver. Sobkowich said the WGEA is not concerned by Viterra’s memorandum of understanding with the two national rail companies aimed at improving service.

MEAT PROCESSING | INTERPROVINCIAL TRADE

Meat project processors selected Pilot program | Processors do not need federal inspectors to ship out of province BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A short-eared owl flies away with a vole it caught while hunting in a stubble field south of Blackie, Alta. | MIKE STURK PHOTO

Robert Lundquist can sell meat on one side of his city, but not legally on the other. The president of Diamond 7 Meats in Lloydminster hopes to change that by participating in an interprovincial meat trade pilot project. Diamond 7, a meat processor located on the Saskatchewan side of the city that straddles the Alberta border, Western Prime Meat Processors of Weyburn, Sask., and Drake Meat Processors at Drake, Sask., were selected for the pilot.

Nineteen Canadian companies applied to be part of the project. Saskatchewan and Ontario announced last week which of its processors had been selected and other provinces will follow suit. Federal and provincial agriculture ministers agreed in 2010 to conduct the pilot to try to standardize the varying meat inspection systems across the country. Plants that are not inspected by a federal inspector cannot sell product outside their provincial boundaries. A provincial health inspector, for example, inspects Diamond 7.

prevents it from doing business even on the Alberta side of Lloydminster. Lundquist admits he has been an agitator when it comes to changing the century-old Canada Meat Act. “We are in (federal) minister (Gerry) Ritz’s riding here,” he said. “We have been pushing a lot of buttons because we sit in a situation in Lloydminster where we do a lot of business within the city.” Although it’s illegal to sell to the Alberta side, Lundquist said it happens every day. Diamond 7 has exemptions from Ottawa, Saskatchewan and Alberta to do business within Lloydminster but is still going against Canadian Food Inspection Agency regulations. “From the CFIA’s point of view we don’t have (permission),” he said. “It’s very controversial and has been for a long time. This is one of the reasons this is trying to get sorted out.” The situation gets more complicated. If the Alberta owners of a steer bring it to Diamond 7 for butchering and processing and take it back home, that is allowed. In fact, Lundquist has shipped meat to the Northwest Territories, the Yukon and British Columbia for personal consumption. If the Alberta cattle owners also have a restaurant and want to use meat from their herd on the menu, that’s not allowed. Lundquist got his exemption for an Alberta retail operation that has its own cattle. “The CFIA don’t like it but we have got government letters saying we’re going to allow this in the interim,” he said. The first few months of the pilot project will be taken up with provincial and federal bureaucrats examining the selected plants. Then, a written policy will follow and that could take into next year. While Lundquist hopes the outcome will be the ability to trade within Canada, he said it could also result in a directive to become federally inspected. That would force upon his business a lot of costs he can’t afford. “We know there’s some risks to us,” he said. The two governments are putting up two-thirds of the money for the pilot, essentially paying their officials to evaluate the plants and write policy changes. Saskatchewan agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said the province was budgeting between $300,000 and $500,000 for its share. The project is cost-shared on a 60 percent federal, 40 percent provincial basis and Ottawa has budgeted up to $3 million for the entire Canada-wide project. The participants are also responsible for a share of any upgrading costs and implementing food safety programs. Bjornerud too hopes that the pilot will result in a standardized inspection system that allows wider trade and that the changes required won’t be too onerous. “Their market would be far better if they could go to the neighbouring provinces,” he said. “It might be as simple as some plumbing in their plants.”

CALGARY BULL SALE | 111TH SHOW

Angus bull named grand champion in Calgary Bull sells for $14,000 | Hereford title first win of this award for 123-year-old ranch in southwestern Alberta STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Belvin Angus once again had the grand champion bull at the Calgary Bull Sale. Belvin X-Man 14’10 sold to Alta Genetics in Balzac, Alta., for $14,000. It was also the high selling Angus bull at the 111th sale held March 3. The bull was bred and owned by Colton Hamilton, a partner in the family operation from Innisfail, Alta. This is the seventh time the Gavin and Mabel Hamilton operation has won this honour since 2003. The reser ve grand champion Angus came from Scott Stock Farm at Crossfield, Alta. The red yearling sold for $5,000 to Longson Farms of Cayley, Alta. The grand champion Hereford was the entry of Jenkins Ranche at Twin Butte, Alta., located near Waterton Lakes National Park. This is the first time the 123-yearold ranch has won this award, said Jennifer Jenkins, who runs the 300 Hereford cow operation with her father, Bob. The bull was also reserve grand champion at the 2010 Farmfair in Edmonton. The only entry from the ranch, the bull sold for $6,000 to Red Willow Colony of Stettler, Alta.

“It is a real honour to win at the Calgary Bull Sale. It is something I dreamed of when I came to the sale with Dad,” she said. The reserve grand champion Hereford came from Brad Dallas of Bowden, Alta. It sold for $6,500 to Mrnak Herefords of Bowman, North Dakota. The top seller of the day was a bull from the Schuepbach family of Lilybrook Herefords at Claresholm, Alta. It sold for $21,000 to Upstream Ranch of Taylor, Nebraska. Andy Schuepbach figured the bull caught American interest because its breeding statistics were better than average. “Our EPDs (expected progeny differences) are pretty good and that always attracts American buyers,” he said. EPDs are a measure of calving ease and other production characteristics. Schuepbach said the years since BSE halted trade have been difficult for purebred producers, but he sees some optimism returning. “We all need a good calf crop to start and we need another calf crop to improve,” said the Swiss immigrant who has run the farm with his wife, Margaret, for almost 30 years. The sale average on 175 lots was $4,285.

Angus was $4,593. Four Charolais bulls were sold for a total $9,500 and averaged $2,375 each.

Three Gelbviehs were on offer for a total price of $6,600 to average $2,200. access=subscriber section=livestock,markets,news

CALGARY BULL SALE | OPTIMISM

Upbeat mood at bull sale reflects good times in industry The sale offering may have been smaller than past years but the atmosphere at the 111st Calgary Bull Sale on March 3 was upbeat. “If this sale is hot, then maybe we’ll get people coming back again,” said Mabel Hamilton, president of the Alberta Cattle Breeders Association and a partner in Belvin Angus at Innisfail. She has been coming to the sale all her life and was in fact born at the same time as the sale. Fat steers are setting record prices and cull bull prices are moving to unexpected highs. At the end of February

Canfax reported butcher bulls ranged from $65 to $88 per hundredweight. “Right now cull bulls are worth a lot of money,” she said. With prices like that, seedstock producers hope more people will remove the mature animals and replace them with youngsters. Commercial prices take time to trickle down to seedstock producers. “With BSE, probably the purebred people were hurt the most. In order to be a purebred breeder there are requirements,” she said. “We weren’t getting paid to do

those extra things.” The animals must be registered, DNA tests are done and strict records are maintained. Hamilton’s son, Colton, is a fourth generation rancher and in his world the science of genomics goes hand in hand with visual appeal. Genomic expected progeny differences predict a bull’s genetic prowess before it even produces calves. Most of these animals end up in commercial herds. British Columbia auctioneer Don Raffan has witnessed better prices across the board.

“The producers are getting paid but it is still not enough because they have been below the cost of production for many years,” he said after selling the Angus section of the sale. “It has got to change. We have lost so many producers and if it keeps going, there will be very few left,” he said. He sells commercial cattle at Valley Auction in Armstrong, B.C., and also auctioneers at farm production sales. Crowds are turning up for the sales but he notices many of the buyers are mature rather than young people. He remains confident however.

“All the bull sales so far have been very positive this year,” he said. “They are replacing their older bulls and getting new bulls so it is encouraging to see they are buying these bulls.” Females are also in demand again and last week at a production sale at Athabasca, Alta., he sold to commercial bred heifers for $1,750 to $1,950. “That is the highest I have ever sold them in my career,” he said. “There will be things happening in the cattle industry this year that haven’t been seen before,” he said. access=subscriber section=livestock,markets,news

Too much of a good thing sparks deal with farmers Feedlot finds customers | Cattle manure provides crop nutrients and prevents soil erosion BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

HIGH RIVER, Alta. — A request for cattle manure was a classic win-win situation for an Alberta feedlot company and its neighbours. Western Feedlots produces 300,000 tonnes of manure a year at its three southern Alberta feedlots and was looking for new farmland to spread it on. Local farmers wanted to cut back on the cost of commercial fertilizer. Scientists have proven the benefits of manure with its high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus and its ability to improve soil tilth, but it is commercial enterprises like Western Feedlots that can make it work on a practical level, said company president Dave Plett. “There is a lot more science and technology than most people realize,” he said. Western Feedlots feeds 160,000 cattle and cleans its pens twice a year, delivering manure fresh to customers near its yards at Mossleigh, Strathmore and High River. Customers can buy a package for $3 a tonne that includes soil testing, manure hauling and spreading on

Feedlots could find new ways to market manure to local farmers such as hauling and spreading services. | thawed ground. A stockpiling package at $1.50 per tonne is also offered. Manure is a good source of nitrogen but often provides more phosphorus than the soil needs. Plett said Western has made adjustments for that. The manure quality is fairly consistent because the feed ration is gener-

ally the same, said Melissa McWilliam, who looks after farming and resource management for Western. The company works with farms individually and is looking for more customers. “We want to haul the manure further out where the soil needs it,” she said.

An application of 40 tonnes per acre provides 868 pounds of nitrogen, 912 lb. of phosphorus, 660 lb. of potassium and 200 lb. of sulfur. Nitrogen in manure comes in organic and inorganic forms. Plants can more readily use inorganic manure while the organic form breaks down over time to become inorganic.

Properly applied manure is a good source of nutrients for crops, controls erosion and increases water holding capacity, said Matt Gosling, a private agrologist who works with farmers and companies on soil management. Manure has many benefits, but it does not turn number three sand into number one clay loam. It does improve water holding capacity, adds carbon and rebuilds organic material, which is something chemical products do not do. “I have never seen soils rebuilt with chemical fertilizer,” Gosling said. He is a strong advocate of soil testing because producers need to know the nutrient level in the manure and the soil. Manure also adds micronutrients such as copper, boron and zinc, critical elements to help young plants survive cold stress in the spring.

MANURE TRIVIA In 2006, Statistics Canada reported that Canadian livestock produced half a million tonnes of manure daily, which translated into more than 180 million tonnes per year. Of this total, 38 percent was produced by beef cows, followed by milk cows, calves and heifers at 12 percent each, steers and bulls at 10 percent each, pigs nine percent, poultry three percent, horses two percent and sheep less than one percent. All types of cattle produce large amounts of manure: • • • • • •

bulls 42 kilograms per day beef cows 37 kg steers 26 kg heifers 24 kg calves 12 kg milk cows produce the most manure at 62 kg per day, which is 10 percent of the weight of an average cow. Pigs, including weaners, sows, boars and market hogs, produce much smaller amounts of manure at one to four kg per day. Poultry are responsible for the least amount of manure, with each bird producing less than one kg of manure per day.

CATTLE | TAGGING SYSTEMS

Efficient tagging system important tool in herd management ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

agging systems can provide lots of relevant information at a glance. There are a wide range of systems and many are well thought out. Some applications require multiple tags, especially when we consider the need to use RFID tags and age verify cattle. These double or multiple tagging systems have some intrinsic benefits. There are costs involved with all tagging systems, including the cost of tags, long-term investment in the tagger and the need to have extra pins plus an acceptable inventory of tags on hand. For long-term use, the largest or maxi type tags offer the best visibility, especially if they are applied in cattle breeds that have lots of hair in their ears. There are three main types of marking systems. Some tags are renumbered, some are engraved and others are marked with tag ink. Renumbered tags are available off the shelf or they can be ordered ahead of time with specific farm information attached to them. Tags marked with ink should have thick ink applied and all the relevant information can be applied to the front and even the back of tag. With purebred producers, I have seen both the dam and sire numbers on the tag as well as the birthdate put on the back of the tag. The dam’s number is good to have if mothering up the calf. Over time even the best ink tags will fade and may need to be rejuvenated or at least wiped off when they come through the chute again. Engraved tags are the most expensive but are pliable even in cold weather, and the readability is there for the life of the animal. Use someone with good penmanship because the ability to read the tags is an integral part of using the system for yearly management. Information contained on a tag will help producers decide which cows to cull, divide into breeding groups, artificially inseminate, foot trim, bring in for calving or treat. Colours can be used in many different ways. Commercial producers may use different colours to quickly identify steers and heifers or different owners in a multiple owner operation. If coloured and numbered tags are cross-referenced to the RFID tags, formal identification of an animal is easy if one of the tags is lost. Feedlots may use different colours for the home pen location. This makes it easier to locate cattle at large. Purebred breeders may use the colours to identify different breeds if more than one is run. Other colours may identify percentage cattle or hybrid cattle. With a lot of breeds having both red and black lines, the different colours are quite useful. With a quick glance in the chute or access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

at pasture, producers can glean a lot of information from the tag based on its colour. Some producers place tags in the opposite ear. Left tagged ears may be heifers and right may be steers. Purebred operators usually tag in the opposite ear as the tattoo. They may break from this to tag freemartins or definite culls in the tattoo ear. Tattooing is mainly done in the right ear but a lot of Charolais and Salers cattle are tattooed in the left ear. Some producers use the letter system to denote the year an animal was born. Simply remember the letters used in five year intervals and then fill in the blanks, remembering to delete

the letters L,O,Q and V. Using that system, the year 2000 is K, 2005 is R and 2010 X. At a glance, the age of any lettered animal is known. Most purebred producers also match the tag number to the tattoo, which makes it easy when tags are lost. Find the brand of tag that works well and stick with it. Application guns and the size of the pins vary so don’t mix and match. Have spare pins and even a spare tagger on hand for big jobs. The last thing a producer needs is his entire operation slowed down because of tagger or pin failure. Use the slotted tag cutters for removing old, damaged, faint or fly

tags. They are much safer than cutting the tag out with a butcher knife and much quicker. The new tag can generally be placed right in the existing hole. Always be careful working around the head, especially with fractious cows and bulls. Keep at arms length. Always have the tags ready and be prepared to retag a few animals every time cattle are processed. Make use of the tags for other things. For culling, we usually make a notch in the bottom of the tag. This brings the animals to our attention and encourages us to review the animal’s history in case it has slipped our minds. When preparing marker (gomer)

bulls, I generally notch the existing tag and we may put one in that says gomer on it. By developing a reliable tagging system, mistakes are minimized and processing is easier, even for helpers who are not familiar with your herd. Tags will become more important, not only as a herd management tool but also in establishing age verification and traceability systems, an important issue to marketers and the consumer. Hopefully, retention issues will be addressed as manufacturers improve quality. Roy Lewis is a veterinarian practising in Westlock, Alta.
