Hail claims rise in 2011 Nearly $164 million paid out to prairie farmers

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Prairie farmers collected more money from hail claims in 2011 than they did last year.

The Canadian Crop Hail Association released estimates Oct. 28 of the claims and payouts from the just completed growing season.

The association said 15,000 claims led to payments of nearly $164 million by its member companies.

That compared to payments of $155 million on more than 16,000 claims last year.

Chair Murray Bantle, who is with the Co-operative Hail Insurance Company in Regina, said association members would consider the year reasonable.

The companies collected $268 million in premiums, resulting in an industry-wide loss ratio of just more than 61 percent.

“It’s probably a money-making year for the industry, but not a great one,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

CWB | FROM PAGE ONE

More cases launched In June, FCWB filed documents in Federal Court requesting a judicial review of Ottawa’s plans to amend the Canadian Wheat Board Act without first holding a farmer plebiscite.

The organizations initiating the lawsuits have refused to share details about estimated legal costs or internal budgeting for legal services.

However, it appears in all three cases that farmers will be on the hook for covering most of the legal costs, either through voluntary contributions or fundsderivedfromCWBpoolaccounts.

Terry Zakreski, a Saskatoon lawyer familiar with agricultural issues in Western Canada, said it would be difficult to estimate the costs associated with the three legal actions.

He said a variety of factors influence overall expenditures, including the complexity of each case, the legal budgets of the plaintiffs, the experience of the lawyers working on each case, their years at the bar and the rates charged by different legal teams.

“The problem with that is it’s a little like asking how much would it cost to buy farm equipment,” said Zakreski.

“It depends on what you’re going to buy. I would anticipate that it’s going to be fairly expensive … but it’s really, really difficult to give a number because it depends on who’s being retained, what their billing rate is going to be and what their anticipated time frame will be.”

There are differences in how the lawsuits will be funded. The wheat board lawsuit will be financed through its farmer pool accounts.

In an Oct. 25 meeting with internal and external legal experts, the board received ball park estimates on how much its legal action

REGULAR FEATURES

against Ottawa would cost.

However, CWB chair Allen Oberg declined to make those estimates public, saying only that the board’s legal costs would pale in comparison to the monetary benefits that the CWB delivers to farmers each year.

Oberg said there is a chance the courts will decide to combine the FCWB and CWB legal challenges because the bases of both actions are similar.

“In relation to the cost, I don’t have any hard numbers on that but when you compare what the benefits of the Canadian Wheat Board are and what they provide back to farmers — about $500 million a year — the costs of this legal action are minuscule,” he said.

The WCWGA lawsuit, meanwhile, is seeking an injunction that would prohibit the wheat board from using pool accounts to pay for its action against Ottawa.

Chair Gerrid Gust declined to say how much the challenge would cost, but stressed it would be paid for by voluntary contributions from association members and not from the organization’s regular budget.

Gust was critical of the CWB decision to finance its action through pool accounts, especially when a significant number of producers favour marketing change.

But Oberg said CWB directors who supported the lawsuit believe they have a clear mandate.

“The last time we checked, the WCWGA had less than 300 members, so to say that they are representative of farmers in Western Canada, that’s ridiculous,” said Oberg.

Hail claims climb in 2011 Saskatchewan farmers suffered through the most hailstorms and resulting damage, filing 11,800 claims worth nearly $121 million.

Premiums were $168 million, for a loss ratio of 72 percent.

Several storms led to the most claims and costs: July 12 in westcentral areas, July 26 from the southwest near Kincaid to the northeast near Norquay, again in the southwest July 29 and on Aug. 15 in a band from Flaxcombe on the west side to northeast of Prince Albert.

Manitoba saw lighter than usual hail damage and activity in 2011.

Farmers filed 1,100 claims worth $6.9 million. Premiums paid were $31 million for a loss ratio of 22 percent.

A July long weekend storm was the most significant and accounted for a quarter of the claims in an area southeast of Carmen to Morris and

south to the U.S. border.

In Alberta, payouts worth $36 million were made on about 2,500 claims. The payments are made on claims over and above what farmers receive through crop insurance.

Alberta farmers paid premiums worth $68 million for a loss ratio of 53 percent.

The largest storms were July 7 from Sundre to Red Deer and July 18 from Millet to the Saskatchewan border and beyond.

Bantle said the coverage purchased by producers has gone up as crop prices rise. As well, payments per claim rise as farms grow larger.

The past few years have seen extremes in hail payouts.

A record high $341 million was paid in 2008, but the following year saw the lowest amount in recent memory at $76 million.

RAIL REVIEW | NEW CHAIR

CWB | RESIGNATIONS

Former Alta. finance minister appointed to lead rail panel

CWB no longer represents farmers: ex-directors

Jim Dinning to make recommendations to federal government

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Former Alberta politician Jim Dinning has been appointed to lead a six-month process to enhance national rail freight service.

Dinning, who held numerous positions in Alberta’s provincial cabinet in the 1980s and 1990s, including finance minister, now serves on a number of corporate boards and is chancellor for the University of Calgary.

His appointment was announced Oct. 31 by federal transport minister Denis Lebel.

Dinning is tasked with making recommendations based on results from a rail freight service review presented to the federal government in December 2010. The government promised in March 2011 to take action on the review and has been criticized by some shippers for apparent delays in the process.

According to a federal government news release, the expected outcome of Dinning’s work will be “a template for service agreements and a streamlined commercial dispute resolution process.”

The release also said the federal government plans to table legislation that will give shippers the right to service agreements with railways, even when commercial negotiations fail.

An analysis of grain supply chain systems was also promised in the Oct. 31 announcement “to focus on issues that affect that sector and identify potential solutions.”

The Rail Freight Service Review was launched in 2008 and chaired by another Alberta politician, former agriculture minister Walter Paszkowski. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Two directors resign | CWB polarized, dissenters feel ‘intimidated and bullied,’ confusion affecting farmers

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian Wheat Board directors are split along ideological lines and are no longer able to function in the best interests of farmers, say a pair of CWB directors who resigned last week.

Henry Vos, an Alberta farmer who was elected to the board on a campaign to help implement grain marketing changes, submitted his resignation Oct 26.

Jeff Nielsen, another Alberta farmer-elected director who supports marketing change, resigned Oct. 31.

Vos went public with his resignation just hours before the wheat board announced it was launching a lawsuit to challenge the legality of federal legislation to eliminate Western Canada’s single desk marketing system.

In a letter distributed to farmer constituents and the media, Vos suggested that efforts by pro-board directors to protect single desk marketing at all costs have resulted in a polarized board where dissenting voices feel intimidated and bullied.

He also suggested that the board’s resistance to proposed legislative changes is contributing to an environment of uncertainty and confusion that is affecting farmers, customers and the industry.

“The CWB’s decision this week to launch a lawsuit against the federal government … when it is clear to everyone that it will not change the outcome … is simply wrong,” Vos said.

“To continue to work within the existing dysfunctional CWB board would be a disservice to those who voted for me as their director.”

In an interview, Vos said the ongoing dispute over eliminating the CWB’s grain marketing monopoly is coming at a huge cost to farmers.

One day before his resignation, Vos attended an Oct. 25 board meeting in Winnipeg where directors met with legal counsel to discuss the merits and costs of launching an action against the federal government.

Citing board confidentiality, Vos refused to say how much the lawsuit

was likely to cost western Canadian farmers, but he acknowledged that those legal costs would come out of pool accounts.

“I said earlier that I believed a decision (to launch a lawsuit) was going to be very costly to the farmers of Western Canada, not only in the direct costs for lawyers and court actions … but the bigger costs will be in the uncertainty and the lack of clarity

transition dates to ensure that the flow of grain is not interrupted and that Canada’s foreign reputation as a supplier of top quality wheat and malting barley is not jeopardized.

When asked if the CWB lawsuit was likely to compound uncertainty already surrounding the industry, Oberg said any uncertainty that exists was created by the Harper government, which ignored provisions

governance committee felt Nielsen’s actions contravened established codes of conduct, he added.

“They (pro-change directors) have every opportunity at the board table to raise their concerns …. There’s been no attempt to cut off debate or discussion,” Oberg said.

“In any board of directors, there’s going to be different points of view.

My concern as chair is that those

around the (grain industry),” he said.

“This will create more uncertainty for our farmers, more uncertainty for our customers and for the people handling our grain. At this point, the organization has become a political opposition party and if I’d wanted to be part of a political opposition party, I’d have bought a membership.”

The wheat board’s uncertain future is making headlines around the world.

Earlier this week, at a CWB news conference announcing plans to launch a lawsuit, board chair Allen Oberg answered questions from domestic and international media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and La France Agricole, a leading agricultural publication in France.

Weeks earlier, an article on the future of the board appeared in The Economist, an international news magazine with staff around the world and a global circulation of 1.4 million readers.

The legal and political quagmire surrounding the industry was further compounded last week when the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association announced it would launch its own lawsuit against the CWB. Grain industry stakeholders, particularly private grain handling companies, have repeatedly stated that the industry needs certainty and firm

in the CWB Act and is attempting to fast-track an undemocratic political agenda despite the wishes of Canadian farmers.

“The uncertainty that’s being created is entirely by the federal government’s extremely tight time lines to make changes of this magnitude by Aug. 1 of 2012,” said Oberg.

Vos also criticized the board for attempts to muzzle pro-change directors, citing a decision earlier this year to suspend District 2 director Nielsen after Nielsen expressed concerns over a series of producer information meetings held across the Prairies in August.

Nielsen publicly criticized the information meetings, suggesting their primary purpose was to promote the retention of single desk marketing rather than inform producers about the new grain marketing environment that Ottawa seems intent on introducing.

He likened his suspension to a CWB-imposed gag order, adding that he now feels reluctant to voice his own opinions if they differ from those of pro-monopoly directors.

Oberg, however, said directors have never been discouraged from making their views known.

The suspension was deemed necessary because the CWB’s internal

points of view take place at the board table and at committee. … When those debates move out into the public realm, to me that’s a concern.”

According to Nielsen, the fact that pro-desk directors openly lobbied for retention of the single-desk at August information meetings is proof that some directors’ can make their views known in public while others cannot without fear of suspension.

Vos also said CWB directors debated a motion last month that would have allowed a simple majority of directors — eight of 15 — to permanently remove other directors from the board for perceived code of conduct violations.

The motion wasn’t passed, but Vos described it as an offensive and deliberate attempt to intimidate dissenting voices.

“I understand his (Vos’s) reasoning fully,” said Nielsen.

“Unfortunately, I think we’ve really polarized the farming community. You have the hard left … that support the wheat board and you have the hard right … that really don’t want the monopoly but you also have a very large centre and it’s that centre group that has always wanted to run their businesses to the best of their abilities.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SASKATCHEWAN | ELECTION 2011

Sask. ag minister prepares for election night

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Bob Bjornerud is sporting a relaxed look for his fifth election campaign.

The Melville-Saltcoats Saskatchewan Party MLA has served as agriculture minister through the four-year term of the Brad Wall government elected in 2007.

His time in the portfolio, during which he has dealt with drought, flood, low prices and federal and provincial colleagues, was likely more difficult than campaigning in his eastcentral Saskatchewan riding.

Still, he isn’t taking re-election for granted.

“I don’t predict anything. It’s not a slam-dunk by any means,” he said in an interview. “It’s politics. It can change.”

He said he is less nervous than he was in 2003, when he was up against a former Progressive Conservative cabinet minister running as an independent, a Liberal-turned-New Democrat cabinet minister and a well-known Liberal candidate.

To complicate matters, he had initially lost the Saskatchewan Party nomination to the independent candidate, Grant Schmidt, and regained it when the party executive stepped in.

“That was the most lively one we’ve ever had,” he said of that campaign.

He finished with 39 percent of the popular vote that year, compared to

Agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud is confident of a Sask. Party win on Nov. 7. | FILE PHOTO 62 percent in 1999 and again in 2007.

This time, he is running against NDP candidate Leonard Dales, a farmer who also works for the Sunrise Health Region in maintenance, and the Green Party’s Jordan Fieseler.

First elected as a Liberal in 1995,

Bjornerud joined the Sask. Party upon its formation two years later.

Bjornerud said he is comfortable running this time on the government’s record.

The lack of new policies or promises in the Sask. Party election platform

is not a sign the government is taking its rural base for granted, he said, and farmers haven’t been particularly critical of the document.

He isn’t hearing specific requests from farmers, unlike previous years.

Crop and cattle prices are strong, the weather co-operated for a long fall after a soggy spring, and farmers seem pretty happy with their lot, he said.

He also hasn’t heard from very many who want spot loss hail back in the crop insurance program.

That’s a main plank of the NDP agricultural platform. The party has allocated $50 million each year to reinstate the coverage.

“I don’t think that ’s doable,” Bjornerud said. “The federal government would not cost share as they did before.”

The NDP has said it wouldn’t reintroduce spot loss hail in exactly the same form as before, and Bjornerud said that probably wouldn’t sit well with those who do want it back.

Private companies and Saskatchewan Municipal Hail offer the coverage and competition provides for reasonable premiums, he said.

“Our dollars are probably better diverted into other crop insurance a n d A g r i S t a b i l i t y p r o g r a m s ,” Bjornerud said.

Despite two years of wet conditions, farmers haven’t been clamouring for more aid than they have received through the federal-provincial excess

moisture programs, he said.

Good yields and quality in many crops this year, combined with good prices, are likely responsible for optimism among grain growers, he said.

Meanwhile, Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall recently used the backdrop of millions of dollars of farm equipment to highlight what he said his government has done for farmers.

At the grand opening of the new South Country Equipment dealership just east of Regina, Wall listed the many hundreds of millions of dollars that the Saskatchewan government has spent on farm support programs, including crop insurance and special relief for flooding, as well as an 80 percent cut in education tax on agricultural land.

Establishing a food security institute is one initiative in the Saskatchewan Party platform.

Preliminary funding for the institute is pegged at $1 million. It would be housed at the University of Saskatchewan.

As well, Wall said not enough attention has been paid to agronomic and technological research for crops such as wheat. Instead, the focus has been on pulses and special crops.

NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter outlined the agricultural measures in his platform, reinstating spot loss hail coverage, in Yorkton Oct. 31.

CWB | POLARIZING VIEWS

Farm meetings mired down in opposing views about CWB Many express anger with federal government at farm meetings, yet organizers frustrated with poor turnout to pro-monopoly protest in Winnipeg

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba farmer representatives meeting in Portage la Prairie last week found Canadian Wheat Board consensus impossible, while pro-CWB activists found themselves preaching to the converted, and few others.

The two gatherings — a Keystone Agricultural Producers policy meeting in Portage Oct. 27 and a pro-CWB monopoly rally in Winnipeg Oct. 28 — highlighted in different ways the issue’s caustic and polarizing effect on farmers.

KAP dealt with the CWB issue a number of times during its meeting, including during a closed session at the beginning of the day, but ended with little change in its policies.

For example, one resolution asked the government to reappoint Ian White as CWB chief executive officer of a post-monopoly board and have at least one farmer on the new appointed board of directors. However, it struck a nerve with fierce pro-monopoly farmers, who didn’t like any con- Pro-monopoly farmers expressed anger and offence at federal templation of life after the monopoly. government actions with placards during a pro-CWB rally in Winnipeg “All of a sudden we accept the fact Oct. 28. | ED WHITE PHOTOS that government appoints directors … and only one is a farmer?

A protestor voices his discontent with a placard.

“What is important to lobby for if this moves on,” was how Theresa Bergsma of the Manitoba Canola Growers Association explained the intent.

KAP vice-president Rob Brunel said farmers shouldn’t worry that having input will tie them to an unviable post-monopoly structure.

“If it does fail, it’s (the government’s) creation that has failed, it’s not ours,” he said.

However, pro-monopoly members of KAP still worried that the resolution would be seen as a tacit endorsement of the government’s plans.

Gilbert Plains farmer Sean Gryba said trying to formulate a policy with farmers so divided and sensitive to the issue is perilous.

“What we’re trying to do is stay in the middle of the road … but some-

times it’s best off not having something in place than having something in place and people pointing fingers,” said Gryba, recommending the resolution be tabled.

It was tabled and no recommendations for the post-monopoly board were put forward.

The next day in Winnipeg, 200 to 250 farmers from across the Prairies took part in a pro-monopoly protest that featured strong words and high emotion, but was nowhere near the mass turnout of farmers that activists hoped to see.

The rally, organized by the National Farmers Union, the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance and the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board, included speeches on the western edge of Winnipeg, a grain truck and bus cavalcade down Portage Avenue to the heart of Winnipeg and then a further series of speeches outside wheat board offices.

Politicians, CWB farmer directors and leaders of the three organizing groups spoke angrily and defiantly of the government’s actions, with one director saying he smelled a “slight scent of fascism in the air,” and one protest placard saying “Ritz is the Shitz.”

However, the farmer turnout was considered by most to be disappointing when compared to rallies from an earlier era to save the Crow Rate or demand emergency farm aid. There were few signs of a mass protest movement.

“A lot of people are just turned off about the whole issue,” said one farmer before the rally. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

AGRONOMY | FERTILIZING

Fertilizing in autumn offers benefits in spring Timing and application method important | Applying nitrogen in fall can save money and reduce soil compaction

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Fa r m e r s f re q u e nt l y a s k R o s s McKenzie about the effectiveness of fall versus spring nitrogen applications.

“Fall fertilization can range from very effective to disastrous, depending on soil moisture conditions, the form of nitrogen fertilizer and how it’s applied,” said the Alberta Agriculture agronomy research scientist.

McKenzie said problems can occur even if everything is done correctly.

The three main considerations are waiting until the soil temperature is less than 7 C, using the right form of nitrogen fertilizer and banding it to minimize soil-fertilizer contact to slow the nitrogen conversion.

“In terms of fertilizer management, no soil type or region of the province is completely safe when it comes to losses of fall-applied N,” McKenzie said. “In most years, N losses through denitrification in southern Alberta are relatively small and fall banded N is usually 90 to 100 percent equally effective to spring banded N. “In cases where spring banding causes a significant loss of seed bed moisture, fall banding can be superior to spring banding.”

However, McKenzie cautions that fall application puts nitrogen at risk, depending on localized moisture and temperature.

He said general guidelines about nitrogen timing and application

methods should be considered: • Spring banded is generally the most effective method.

• Fall banded nitrogen can be as effective as spring banded if there is no extended period of saturation in the spring.

• If lack of seed bed moisture is a concern, fall banding may be more effective because spring banding dries the soil.

• Fall application is probably not a good option on soil that tends to be saturated with water for extended periods in the spring.

• Soil test to determine optimum fertilizer rates. Producers should sample zero to six, six to 12 and 12 to 24 inches to determine cumulative nitrogen down to two feet.

• Select a formulation that is right for your conditions. Generally, under low risk conditions, such as those in southern Alberta, anhydrous ammonia (82-0-0) or urea (46-0-0) perform equally well when fall banded. However, soil in southern Alberta tends to be alkaline, and losses through ammonia volatilization can occur if the bands are too shallow or soil is dry and cloddy.

• Avoid products that contain nitrates on soil that tends to be saturated in the spring to avoid leaching losses.

• Apply fall nitrogen after the soil temperature has dropped below 7 C and the nitrification process has slowed down.

• Always band nitrogen. Don’t access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Fertilizing should be done after soil temperature drops below 7 C to prevent nitrogen from turning into nitrate. | FILE PHOTO broadcast it. Banding restricts the contact between soil and fertilizer so over-winter losses are lower.

McKenzie said applying fall nitrogen has several benefits:

• A field operation is eliminated in the spring allowing earlier planting.

• Availability of product and application equipment is often better in the fall. Fertilizer prices and pay-

ment schedules tend to be more favourable as well.

• Soils tend to be drier in the fall, so nitrogen application equipment is less likely to cause compaction.

RESEARCH | ZOMBIE ANT

Zombies attack: ants helpless in clutches of parasite

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The hot summer day has cooled.

The grass is tall. Impelled by strange forces it neither knows nor understands, the ant climbs to the top of a grass stalk, clamps its jaws around it, and waits.

Its insect brain, addled by ingestion of a parasite, is no longer in control of its actions.

Yes, it’s a zombie ant, and it is part of a bizarre life cycle involving snails, ants, cattle and liver flukes. It is a story so strange that it has to be real.

Cam Goater, a biology professor at the University of Lethbridge who is researching the phenomenon, supports the zombie description.

“It’s of course accurate in that the ants are essentially under the control of another organism, in the sense that they’re forced to go up the vegetation and clamp on, and normally they wouldn’t do that. The way we view the zombie part of it is that they’re forced to do this every day for the rest of their lives.”

The story begins with the lancet liver fluke, which came to eastern North America from Europe in the 1950s and has moved westward as far as Cypress Hills Provincial Park.

Fluke eggs are eaten by snails. Larvae develop and the snail coughs them up as slime balls.

Along comes the ant. It’s a common

ant, the red and black kind that people don’t like because they bite.

The ant eats the slime ball as a moisture source. Larvae within the slime ball mature and commandeer a cluster of nerves that control the ant’s actions.

As summer temperatures cool each

evening, the ant is compelled to climb to the top of tall grass and stay.

Cattle, which typically feed in the cooler evening and morning, eat the ant along with the grass.

Once inside the animal, the flukes work their way to the bile duct and lay

eggs. Some are shed in manure and the cycle begins anew.

“This parasite, like many of them, it’s very complex in terms of the life cycle,” said Goater. “You need all the partners in one small area for the thing to work. It’s amazing that it works at all, in fact.”

The liver fluke life cycle is significant to the cattle industry because flukes’ existence in cattle can cause livers to be condemned at slaughter.

Heavy infestations can also make cattle anemic and prone to other health problems.

Goater and livestock parasitologist Doug Colwell of Agriculture Canada have researched liver flukes for years, but in another twist to the zombie ant tale, it took a three-year-old boy to actually find one.

“Doug and I had been frustrated for a number of years because we knew that the cattle and the elk and all those animals are infected in the (Cypress Hills) park, in their livers.

That’s the final host.

“So we knew that the only way they could get infected is to eat clinging ants, but for years, for two or three years, we looked and looked and looked in the Cypress Hills for these clinging ants and never found one,” said Goater.

Students joined the search. Nothing.

Then Goater took his family on a trip to the park.

“It was actually my son who found

the first zombie ant. He was only three at the time. He’s sort of at the right height.”

Excited by the find, Goater immediately dissected the ant, “much to the delight of my wife,” and confirmed the infection.

“Now we know exactly where to go and find them,” he said.

The ants have been discovered only in the provincial park, although the search has gone much farther. Goater speculates the unique combination of the park environment, grazing cattle, fire control and moisture conditions coincide to allow the life cycle.

Moist areas of the park near aspen stands are the ideal environments.

However, that isolation may not last. Goater said any animal that eats the ant will become infected. And yes, that includes humans who might casually chew on a blade of grass.

“Certainly our prediction from the work that we’re doing is that it’s likely to spread to other areas.”

That means management and conservation implications for cattle producers and wildlife.

In the latter case, Goater and his colleagues continue to research the fluke’s effect on elk and deer.

“This parasite can get into wild animals. It can get into deer and elk and everything else and we certainly have no idea what it does to them.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Fertilizer prices may rise by spring

Contract turmoil hurts ICE chances

No consensus | An American analyst thinks prices could be lower by early next year

BY ROBERT ARNASON

An Alberta government researcher believes fertilizer prices could creep higher by next spring if commodity prices remain strong.

“If (fertilizer) prices are going to go up, they probably are going to be up there for a little while … as long as the market will bear it,” said Ross McKenzie, an agronomy research scientist with Alberta Agriculture.

“Most fertilizer prices now are similar to what they were this past spring, but price increases on a number of fertilizer products are expected either later this fall or by spring 2012.”

In September, McKenzie called fertilizer dealers in Alberta and Agrium representatives to get a sense of prices for several fertilizer products. His informal survey estimated an average price of $600 per tonne for urea 46-0-0 and an average price of $775 per tonne for MAP phosphate 11-52-0, as of mid-September in Alberta.

Based on his conversations with dealers, McKenzie expects prices to rise throughout the fall.

Urea 46-0-0 would likely sell at $650 per tonne by November and MAP 11-52-0 would probably rise to $850 per tonne by November or December.

Prices in mid-October 2010 were urea 46-0-0 at $452 per ton, anhydrous ammonia at $678 and MAP 11-52-0 at $637.

David Asbridge, president and senior economist with NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service in St. Louis, Missouri, thinks the current price rally might not hold and prices could be lower in spring.

In an August interview, he agreed that nitrogen fertilizer prices were likely to rise this fall because corn acres in the U.S. are expected to increase in 2012. More corn acres increase the demand for nitrogen, which in turn puts upward pressure on prices.

However, Asbridge also said prices should drop by next spring because global supply is outstripping demand, which means fertilizer manufacturers may soon have excess inventory on hand.

For example, the Chinese government imposed a stiff export tariff on certain types of fertilizers a year ago to ensure domestic supply. Normal-

ly, such a decision would tighten global fertilizer supplies, but nothing has really changed, said George Silva, a fertility expert with Michigan State University, because Chinese companies continue to sell fertilizer into the global marketplace.

“If you go on the internet to find out where you can buy nitrogen, or phosphorus, a lot of Chinese companies come up,” Silva said.

“Even if the government wants to clamp down and not export fertilizer, I don’t think anything has taken hold yet.”

As well, there were fears earlier this year that the overthrow of the Egyptian government would disrupt urea supplies. However, Egypt continues to be one the world’s major suppliers of urea, Silva said.

Supply may exceed demand but a corresponding price drop in Western Canada may not occur because many farmers have produced above average crops this year and received good grain prices, McKenzie said.

“When farmers are making a bit more money, input suppliers also want to see their fair share of the profits,” McKenzie said in an article on the Alberta Agriculture website.

There isn’t much hope for a Winnipeg spring wheat futures contract if the problems with the Minneapolis contract are any guide.

Problems with the December Minneapolis spring wheat futures contract are so severe that most North Dakota grain elevator companies abandoned it a month ago and have engineered a replacement.

“The December Minneapolis contract has been so erratic … the commercial people, the people buying the wheat, have switched their bid process over to the March contract,” said Mike Krueger, owner of the Money Farm advisory service in Fargo, North Dakota.

“There was some thinking they might go all the way to the May (contract), which would be way out of character.

That’s never happened before.”

Local elevator bids in the Great Plains are now based on March Minneapolis spring wheat futures, which seem less volatile to commercials. As well, the basis level is designed to approximate what farmers would have got had the companies stayed with the December contract, Krueger said.

Krueger said the grain companies aren’t worried so much by the price of the December contract as with liquidity problems and the ability to get out of positions. Trading even a tiny amount of grain can shift the price.

“That’s a problem, and it’s not a good problem,” said Krueger.

“If we put in an order for four contracts of Minneapolis December spring wheat, we may get a fill that’s a penny or two or three cents apart among those four contracts,” he said.

“If you’re a commercial that’s trying to buy a lot of contracts, it’s just difficult (to justify taking on that sort of execution risk).”

Many traders have complained about illiquidity in Minneapolis futures, even as the exchange racks up record numbers for trading. access=subscriber section=markets,crops,none

WHEAT | DIVISIONS WHEAT | INTERIM PAYMENTS

Wheat grades expected to simplify Will it benefit farmers? | Observers argue a less complicated system will also be less expensive

CWB unveils payments SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Will farmers be better or worse off with fewer divisions of wheat?

Farmers and crop marketers are pondering the question as the simpl if icat io n of t h e c o mp l e x wheat marketing system appears to be an inevitable result of ending the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly.

“The wheat board sometimes took a while to find a market, but that was their mandate: to market the wheat farmers grew and to get the best price for it,” said Chuck Fossay of Starbuck, Man., a longtime Keystone Agricultural Producers member and keen obser ver of grain industry policy.

“The grain companies have a duty of getting the best return for their shareholders. They don’t have to handle the wheat if they don’t have a market for it.”

For many farmers, the existence of the CWB meant they could always sell damaged or niche types of wheat. The CWB had an obligation to market whatever they grew,

providing a sense of security for many.

However, farmers have also paid a heavy price for this. Dozens of divisions of wheat types made marketing more complex and handling more expensive and complicated.

Farm marketing adviser Brenda Tjaden Lepp thinks farmers would be happier with a combination of small, simple pools and simple free market pricing.

Even if a few cents per bushel are lost in simplifying wheat grading and other classifications, the gain in marketing and moving ease will more than make up for it.

“There’s no crop in the world that needs to be that complicated,” said Tjaden Lepp of the wheat board’s p o o l s a n d p ro d u c e r p a y m e n t options. “Once we get used to (the open market), holy crap, is it going to be easy compared to marketing wheat today.”

Senior academic economists Ed Tyrchniewicz and Richard Gray agree grain companies will likely push hard for the Canadian system to have fewer segregations.

WHEAT | POOLING

“I would expect the grain companies will say we will not distinguish between the three (lowest grades of feed-quality wheat), but say let’s just call it all one grade,” said Tyrchniewicz.

He said he sympathized with that viewpoint because marginal price differences can come with a lot of complications for grain elevator handling and on-farm storage.

“Maybe we’re putting too fine a point on all these grades.”

Gray said Canadian grain might become less valuable because uniformity of quality will likely be less rigorously imposed. Grain companies will pool and blend grain from a smaller basis.

“Quality variability within a grade will increase,” he said.

“That’s probably going to change the way buyers view the quality of Canadian wheat, particularly the millers that may have to reset their mills depending on every shipment of Canadian wheat, which they generally didn’t have to do (while the CWB ran the system).”

Fossay said many farmers were grateful for the CWB system in the

mid-1990s. Fusarium wrecked the quality of many Manitoba farmers’ crops, but the board found a market.

“A lot of farmers sold their crops off the combine for a buck a bushel, but six months later the wheat board had found a market and guys were getting $1.80 or $2,” said Fossay.

However, Tjaden Lepp said handling so many divisions of wheat on every farm and in every elevator causes huge headaches and expense. Wheat will always be more complicated to market than canola, oats or special crops, she added, but that’s the best reason to simplify it.

“Is wheat going to become very simple (in a post-CWB world)? No. But it certainly can’t get any more complicated than it is now.” access=subscriber section=markets,crops,none

The Canadian Wheat Board has announced interim payments for the 2010-11 crop year.

The payments for wheat range from $2.80 to $55.20 per tonne depending on grade, class and protein.

Payments on durum range from $19.50 to $34.50.

The payment for designated barley is $6 for two-row and six-row.

The payment for pool B feed barley is $7.

The interim for No. 1 CWRS wheat 12.5 percent protein will be $10.50 per tonne, taking the total payment to date to $296.50 at port.

No. 1 CWAD 12.5 protein is $25 per tonne, raising the total payment to $277.50. Select two-row designated barley is $6 raising the total payment to $231.50.

No. 1 CW feed barley is $7, raising the total payment to $212.

Payment will be issued to producers by direct deposit Nov. 8. Farmers who receive payment by cheque can expect to begin receiving their cheques in the mail by Nov. 18.

Those who wish to defer payments have until Nov. 4 to notify the CWB.

COMMODITY MARKETS | DRIVING FACTORS

Merit seen in short-term EU debt biggest market mover voluntary grain pools MARKET WATCH

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Will farmers be willing to deliver into voluntary pools instead of taking all their cash up front at the elevator?

Yes, especially if government guarantees allow for higher initial payments on short-term pools, say monopoly critics.

“If they’re going to run shorterterm pools, then I think the Grain Growers (of Canada) would be happy to lobby with the (Canadian) Wheat Board to consider maybe a higher rate of 75 percent,” said grain growers executive director Richard Phillips.

Farm marketing adviser Brenda Tjaden Lepp said she thinks voluntary pools will work because farmers are comfortable with them and they function well as one part of a comprehensive risk management strategy.

“I’ve always said an effective, voluntary pool is competitive, compelling (as a means of pricing grain),” said Tjaden Lepp, co-founder of

However, Krueger said he thinks much of the trading is in passive positions that don’t provide effective trading liquidity.

He said traders will abandon the market if various contracts keep having this problem.

“If there continues to be a big concern about liquidity in Minneapolis futures, they’ll just quit using it altogether, and they’ll start basing spring wheat futures on Kansas City or Chicago.”

FarmLink Marketing Solutions.

“We are going to be recommending every single year that some portion of the crop be marketed through (voluntary pools), because it’s good risk management to get an average pool price (for some production).”

Many analysts believe crop pricing pools like the wheat board’s current ones would fare poorly compared to open market cash pricing in a postmonopoly world.

Farmers would probably pop into pools whenever the cash-pool price spread was in their favour and out when it wasn’t, and some say that would make the pools perform poorly.

As well, getting 100 percent of the price for grain sold in a cash sale to an elevator is attractive compared to the 65 percent generally offered in initial payments, critics say. As a result, a voluntary pooling system would have trouble attracting much grain.

However, Phillips said short two or three month pools, with high initial payments, should be attractive. access=subscriber section=markets,crops,none

These problems don’t bode well for ICE Futures Canada’s hopes for a Winnipeg spring wheat futures contract, which it has developed but not yet activated.

Spring wheat is a small crop compared to other forms of wheat, so having two head to head North American spring wheat futures contracts competing when the existing one is already having trouble with liquidity is unlikely to improve the situation.

“It’s going to be a struggle to make it work,” said Krueger.

arket euphoria last week over European leaders agreeing on a debt fighting package shifted back to worries early this week as traders watch to see if plans can be turned into reality.

Europe hopes China, North America, other countries in Asia and fast developing regions will invest in the debt stability fund, but it will be a tough sell. Other developed countries have their own problems and fast developing countries such as

China and Brazil still have huge numbers of poor people much worse off than Greeks.

We’ll hear lots about this as the Group of 20 richest countries meet in France this week to discuss how to revive the global economy.

The European situation is probably the biggest factor in grain prices these days, but there are also fundamental supply and demand issues to watch.

U.S. grain exports last week were surprisingly low. If that marks the start of a trend, it will pressure grain prices lower.

Worries about the U.S. winter wheat crop are lessening as timely rains reach Kansas, but rains are also hitting the Australian harvest, raising the spectre of another large, but low quality wheat crop there.

India has raised the minimum support price for several crops, and

pulses in particular are benefiting.

The Indian government has a plan to boost winter, or rabi, pulse production by 2.78 million tonnes to offset the projected summer, or kharif, shortfall of 700,000 tonnes on account of lower acreage in several states.

The support is expected to increase pulse production in India, but Stat Publishing editor Brain Clancey notes that the minimum price in India is now higher than imported pulses. This could encourage additional lentil imports from Canada.

MARKETS

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 3, 2011

CANFAX REPORT FED MARKET LOWER Packers were not eager buyers and feedlots did not want to sell into a falling market, resulting in a large carry-over.

The sharply stronger loonie contributed to the weak market and only light U.S. interest.

The Canfax weekly steer average fell 65 cents to $109.50 per hundredweight and heifers fell $1.69 to $108.68.

Most of the trade sold dressed at around $184 per cwt. delivered.

The cash-to-futures basis narrowed 50 cents to -$13.27.

Sale volume was 9,892 head, down 53 percent from the previous week and 42 percent lower than last year.

Weekly western Canadian fed access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

slaughter to Oct. 22 was 34,459 head, down two percent. Slaughter is down 12 percent this year.

Weekly fed exports to Oct. 15 rose almost 18 percent to 10,105 head.

There was increased carryover into this week but the overall supply is not a burden.

Packers are slowing slaughter to try to pressure beef higher to improve their margins. This could result in light trade this week, with mostly steady prices if disciplined packers opt to draw down captive inventory.

Supplies are expected to tighten significantly in the fourth quarter as smaller placements from the first quarter, which were down 20.5 percent, come to market.

Fed supplies will increase in the first quarter of 2012 but still be below year ago levels because place-

ments from May through August were down four percent from 2010.

NON-FED PRICES FALL Non-fed cattle faced seasonal downward pressure.

D1, D2 cows have slipped below $67 per cwt. for the first time since February to average $66.19.

Leaner D3 cows traded nearly $1.50 lower to average $58.61.

Rail bids fell to $125-$130 per cwt.

Butcher bulls fell for the ninth week.

Weekly non-fed exports to Oct. 15 totalled 2,960 head.

FEEDER AVERAGES RISE Pr ices held up well despite a heavy fall run, but slight pressure

was noted in some markets at week’s end.

Mid-weight steers and heifers traded steady, while short keep feeders were slightly higher.

Feeder steers rose $1.36 per cwt. and heifers climbed $1.67.

Eastern Canadians were active buyers.

Speculation on light steers and heifers that could potentially enter a grass market pushed prices up $2-$4.

Auction volume totalled 87,124 head, up 30 percent from the previous week.

Weekly feeder exports to Oct. 15 were only 453 head.

With the stronger loonie, feeder prices could struggle to hold ground.

Strong domestic calf prices and a par currency could lead to imports of U.S. feeders.

BEEF HIGHER U.S. cutouts were $2 stronger on moderate demand and a light offering. Choice was $188.10 US per cwt.

Oct.28 and Select was $169.13.

Wholesalers are beginning to stock up for the holiday season.

Canadian cutouts for the week ending Oct. 21 traded slightly higher.

AAA was $174.83 Cdn and AA $165.39.

Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was steady at $202-$204 cwt.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS DIP Pork prices eased, pressuring hog values a little lower, but strong exports still supported the market.

Rabobank Group said foot-andmouth disease is returned to China.

If it becomes as bad as it was last winter, it would support continued large pork imports by the Asian giant.

Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants closed at $66 US per hundredweight Oct. 28, down from $69.50 Oct. 21.

The cash U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $97 Oct. 28, down from $99.61 Oct. 21.

The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.31 million, down from 2.32 million the week before.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.85-$4 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.80-$4.

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

Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.80 per lb.

HEAVY LAMB PRICES UP

Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 1,010 sheep and 268 goats sold Oct. 24.

Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $225-$245 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $200-$225, 86-105 lb. were $185$207 and 106 lb. and heavier were $171-$186.

Wool rams were $76-$90 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $70-$85 and bred ewes were $170-$195 per head.

Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $200-$220 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $189-$212, 86-105 lb. were $185$205 and 106 lb. and heavier were $165-$178.

Hair rams were $70-$85 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $70-$80.

Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $200-$257.50. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $200-$257.50 per cwt.

Nannies were $75-$95 per cwt. Billies were $120-$141. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

COEXISTENCE | CROP PRODUCTION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Farming system options important to food security

F

ew people would argue with the premise that farmers should be free to choose what they want to grow.

Ultimately, the success or failure of those decisions will depend on many factors, including the prices the products bring, costs of production, agronomic factors and the effects of myriad other market forces.

If a particular crop fails to pay the bills for whatever reason, then farmers will stop growing it.

A similar argument can be made for different production systems. If they don’t work, then farmers won’t adopt them.

That’s exactly how it should work. With increased attention on food security after shortages left people in many developing nations starving and, in some cases, in revolt this spring and summer, the need for various food production systems to coexist has gained the spotlight.

Scratching a living on this planet, with its abundant variety of plants and animals and incredibly diverse ecosystems, has always worked best using diverse approaches. Organic and conventional systems, which includes those that use genetically modified organisms, are no different.

On one side of the fence, the organic farmer guards against chemical and GM pollen drift from neighbouring conventionally farmed fields. It is a system that cares less for efficiencies of scale and more about targeting specialized markets in hopes of earning premium prices.

On the other side of the fence, the conventional farmer maximizes production and practices larger scale efficiencies to keep costs in line. They might seem far apart philosophically, but they are not as at odds as some might think.

In fact, organic and conventional farmers play an important role in ensuring our food supply. A variety of crop production systems allow us to better withstand market fluctuations and weather disasters and provides a vast array of crops suited for various environments and economic conditions.

It’s often been stated that’s it’s impor-

tant to have a wide array of plant species as the best protection against disaster.

The same can be said for having different types of farming systems.

Just this week, the United Nations estimated our world has reached a population of seven billion people.

Many and varied types of cropping systems can help feed this rising population and at the same time serve the needs of a varied market in which consumers demand choice. With many cropping systems in play, farmers can target distinct end users with niche products and also provide abundant bulk food that can be widely distributed at reasonable prices.

But ensuring the long-term survival of both systems depends to a great extent on finding international agreement on the thorny issue of tolerance limits — how much accidental GM crop presence should be allowed in non-GM products?

Sensitive testing equipment today can detect a few seeds left behind in a ship’s hold from a previous shipment, which is enough to set off warning alarms.

As we saw in 2009 with flax shipments to Europe, a trace of unapproved GM material can close borders and cost farmers and others in the industry millions in lost sales.

That is what makes initiatives like the federal government’s Working Group on Low Level Presence so important. It is seeking comments from industry and has suggested a 0.1 percent GM tolerance level on imports to start the discussions.

It would apply to GM traits not approved in Canada. Approved traits are not restricted.

Talks that work toward international agreement on GM tolerance is a wise move. In fact, a tolerance level as much as five percent is probably more reasonable if we are to encourage the co-existence of numerous cropping systems, so farmers, consumers, society as a whole and the environment continue to have the best options available.

CONSERVATIVE AGENDA | PROMISES

Conservatives move on party’s rural promises at breakneck speed NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

T

hrough two minority governments, the Conser vatives promised action on rural and prairie promises such as ending the long gun registry and the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly, but couldn’t deliver.

Opposition MPs began to suspect the Conservatives really didn’t want to deliver. Promises of future action on the gun registry, wheat board

reform or more seats for Western Canada were potent fundraising appeals among Conservative supporters.

The last two weeks in Parliament put a lie to that conspiracy theory.

This government likes to invent goofy themes for its legislative weeks: getting tough on crime week, democratic reform week, making immigration rules fair week.

The last several weeks could legitimately be dubbed fulfilling promises to rural and western Canada weeks.

While the measures have their critics, it cannot be denied that the Conservatives ran on these promises and got elected overwhelmingly in rural and prairie seats.

In the past few weeks, the government has been checking off its promises and using draconian parliamen-

tary tactics to push them through with little time for debate. Getting that majority with 39 percent of the vote changed everything.

Successive bills — C-18 on grain marketing, C-19 on ending the gun registry and C-20 on giving Alberta and British Columbia more House of Commons seats — were introduced to fulfill promises to loyal rural and prairie voters.

And in all cases, the bills were given priority, being called quickly for debate and in the case of C-18 and C-19, almost immediately becoming subject to government-imposed limits on the days of debate allowed.

This week, after two days of debate Nov. 2 and 3 on a proposal to give more seats to faster-growing provinces including Alberta and B.C., the government almost certainly will

announce that debate will be cut short so the additional 30 seats — six in Alberta, six in B.C., three in Quebec and 15 in Ontario to recognize growing populations — can be enacted in time to affect electoral redistribution in time for the 2015 election.

Well, the above paragraph is a bit misleading.

B.C., Alberta and Ontario are being awarded more seats because of growing populations that make their representation in the House of Commons grossly inadequate. However, they will still be under-represented compared to population proportion.

Quebec’s added seats are not so much about growing population because its population is relatively stagnant. Instead, it is to answer Quebec complaints that its power in Par-

liament is being diluted because its population growth is not keeping pace with other provinces.

Its three additional seats will give Quebec more than its fair share, but then rural Canada, including Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Atlantic provinces, also have that benefit with a fixed number of seats out of proportion to their population. Complaints from over-represented provinces about Quebec’s special treatment will be a tad underwhelming.

Such compromises are what have helped Canada survive for 144 years.

However, the flurry of “promise made, promise kept” for rural and Western Canada does raise the question — what will be the next agenda?

Presumably, it will emerge as we move toward the next election. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

OUTDOOR FARM SHOW | HANDS-ON

Does prairie prevail over politics, potatoes?

Show addresses farmers’ issues and interests

BY LORNE FITCH

Many Albertans are applauding premier Alison Redford’s recent decision to shelve a controversial land sale in southern Alberta.

Had it happened, 16,000 acres of public land near the confluence of the Bow and Oldman rivers would have been converted from native grasslands to potato fields. The decision suggests a new broom has swept into town.

However, there remain several unresolved issues in the euphoria over a rare conservation win.

Most alarming is the arbitrary, secretive nature of such deals that can liquidate a public asset with little government accountability and worse, leave no recourse available for concerned Albertans, other than writing a letter.

This scheme, referred to by many as “potatogate,” would have seen a loss of native grasslands equivalent in area to about half the footprint of Lethbridge or Medicine Hat, and roughly a third of the Syncrude tar sands mine near Fort McMurray.

With no new guidelines in place, no adherence to the land-use framework and such power vested with one minister, this could happen again.

A new process for land sale decisions is urgently required to move away from the bright, mesmerizing lights of economic development and lobbying efforts, one that would fairly and equitably balance all values.

In a more enlightened land, the scale of potatogate would require the soberness of a formal environ-

The environmental value of grassland is often overlooked. | mental assessment.

What underlies these economic development schemes is the enduring myth that prairie grasslands aren’t working hard enough for us.

In reality, the economic and environmental values of native grasslands are consistently overlooked, undervalued and ignored because of a short-term business mindset.

Grasslands are marvelously adapted given their 10,000 year evolution under arid conditions. No potato patch can rival their drought tolerance, nutrient recycling, resilience, moisture conservation and ability to support wildlife. Grasslands also capture and store appreciable amounts of carbon.

As the climate change bad boy, Alberta needs every conceivable carbon storage mechanism available to demonstrate our commitment nationally and internationally to a real problem.

The grasslands that would have

been plowed had this deal gone ahead generate economic value with livestock grazing. Grazing of native grasslands is as close as we have come to a truly sustainable form of agriculture.

To plow them up for a crop that requires artificial inputs, immense fossil fuel use and obscene amounts of water, and is susceptible to any number of pathogens and diseases, means we haven’t yet learned the lesson of living in arid country.

Even the Alberta government, with pretensions of perpetuity, can’t make new native grassland. It’s a tough assignment to recreate a prairie where native grasses-built soil, drought tested plants and millions of bison grazed over a span of thousands of years.

We need to recognize grasslands as living organisms, demanding care and stewardship. Instead we have treated them as a warehouse of commodities to be mined, raided and

pilfered. That warehouse, provincially, is already more than threequarters emptied.

It is why the grasslands have a disproportionately high percentage of imperiled wildlife. The lands coveted for cultivation harbour several of those species and they would have been lost, permanently and as irrevocably as evidenced elsewhere where grasslands have been plowed.

One must give much credit to Redford for this decision. However, there is a caveat. Without systemic changes, the future could see yet another attempt to orchestrate the sale over objections of thousands of Albertans who have expressed their opinion that the land should stay unplowed and public.

BIG FARMS | FAMILY OWNERSHIP

The elephant in the room may get more company HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

I

t sometimes comes up in a question and answer session, and it’s often talked about over lunch and at coffee breaks. But it isn’t usually dealt with directly at farm meetings.

It’s the elephant in the room within most farm policy analysis.

It’s the topic of really big farm operations.

Every area now has grain farms that have grown to a massive scale. While 10,000 acres used to raise eyebrows, now it’s the operations that are 20,000 or 50,000 acres. Some are even larger.

On one hand there’s admiration.

On the other, there’s fear and no doubt envy.

Rather than one seeding outfit and

one or two combines, a lot of farmland has been gobbled up by operations that run a fleet of seeders and combines.

In many cases, people are renting their farms to these large operators and then gaining seasonal employment to run equipment in the peak seasons.

Generally speaking, these megafarms are well managed. They didn’t grow big by having inferior production and marketing practices.

Fa r m s h a v e b e c o m e l a r g e r throughout history, but this represents a structural change. The largest farms are showing exponential growth rather than just incremental expansion.

Some observers have long expressed the niggling fear that big corporations would take over all the farmland. Instead, the takeover in grain farming is coming from within.

Cargill isn’t running massive farms on the Canadian Prairies.

Family owned farm corporations have become the titans.

With strong profitability in the grain sector, the trend will no doubt continue. Watch for new records to be set

for land prices and for cash rents as we head into the next growing season.

In many cases, it will be the mega farms leading the charge followed closely by all the wannabes.

That’s great if you’re selling or renting land. It isn’t great if you’re a farmer trying to expand. Despite the concerns, no one seems to be advocating any sort of limit on farm size. It’s not clear how that would be accomplished, even if it became a policy objective.

Are mega farms bad? They may be perceived that way if you’re a moderate-sized operation trying to compete for land.

Big operations may have more seasonal labour problems and extra travel between blocks of land, but they also have economies of size that provide advantages.

Input suppliers and grain buyers pay attention to their big accounts, and why wouldn’t they?

In many cases, the mega farms probably get better service and better prices.

However, moderate-sized operations can also be profitable. Maybe

the equipment is older and they don’t have bragging rights for how many acres they can seed or harvest in a day, but they can still take pride in what they do. There has been a good living to be made in recent years.

It’s important to realize that not everyone wants to run a mega farm.

What matters more: your health and family or having the biggest farm in the neighbourhood? Many of the mega farm operators seem driven to see how big they can make the empire. Good for them, but the personal cost can be high.

There will long be small and medium-sized grain farms. There will long be people who work off the farm to help make ends meet. But there’s little doubt that grain farming will be increasingly defined by the really big operators.

It’s time to openly discuss this structural change because it’s certainly a topic on the minds of many people.

f you ever plan to attend Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ont., I have a few words of advice. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your water bottle.

This show is massive, covering 85 acres, hosting more than 700 exhibitors and welcoming about 43,000 guests over three days each September. This year, I attended the show for about six hours, and my feet were already killing me.

But you don’t want to miss anything, and there is a vast variety of things to see. For example, one exhibit had two milking systems going head-to-head, to the great interest of a crowd of dairy farmers.

Because the farm show takes place on the permanent grounds of the University of Guelph’s research station, there’s also the ability to watch new machinery in action on a mature field of (in this case) corn. Farmers were out in big numbers to see which combine managed to get through the slashing leaves of the corn plants the best.

Farmers could also evaluate plots of corn and soybeans, displayed side by side by the seed companies. That was fascinating. Some plants were thriving; others, not so much. As a result, it was easy to compare the varieties.

It is really quite the show, and last week it became part of the family.

The family I refer to is Glacier Media Inc., owner of The Western Producer and several other agricultural publishing brands. The acquisition also includes Canada’s Outdoor Equine Expo.

“In agriculture, it is important to have a ‘hands-on’ person-to-person forum to augment the written and digital transfer of knowledge and technologies,” our president and chief executive officer, Jonathon Kennedy, said in a news release while explaining why Glacier Media and COFS are such a good fit.

He views the two arms as “providing an integrated information platform to the agrifood industry.”

It’s an interesting and different acquisition for Glacier. I was certainly intrigued by COFS while hanging around The Western Producer’s booth in September.

I was amazed at how many eastern farmers were familiar with our paper.

One, for instance, told me the WP was by far the best source of information during the days when we were covering BSE from ears to tail.

That made me realize that although Canada is agriculturally diverse, in many respects farmers from all over the country are in this together. We’re glad to be there with them. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

I have been a subscriber to The Western Producer for several years. I find it very interesting and informative on almost every subject except the one I am most interested in — the Canadian Wheat Board.

There are praises and complaints galore, but no actual articles about how it works. Three years ago we made a trip to Canada to see if talking to Canadians about how the board works would help, but learned nothing.

I have learned this. If the board is as good as its supporters say, Canadians would be rich and U.S. farmers would

be broke. As I’ve farmed since 1949, I doubt if that is the case. As far as I can tell from reading The Western Producer, a farmer has to take his grain where the board can get hold of it, and he gets whatever the board decides.

I used to haul grain to the Port of Lewiston. Some Canadian trucks hauled there, too. They could be easily identified from U.S. trucks as they only had Idaho and Montana licences. The unloading crews were extremely careful about unloading them, as they often had higher moisture content than was allowable in the U.S. As I see it, the Canadian farmer takes his grain to a warehouse, tells the warehouse man he wants to sell it, and hopes he gets all

his money before the next crop comes off. The amount he will get is a bit uncertain. I guess.

I hope I haven’t been too critical of the board as I know little about it.

LETTERS POLICY:

going to the farmers.

The only way the wheat board could have a true monopoly is if they handled all of the world’s farmers’ grain. Farmers could then truly price their grain at cost of production plus profit price. It would create so much sound new wealth that there would be no need for debt infusion to create new wealth.

Our present fiat money would be replaced with sound commodity based money. It would eliminate poverty and unemployment with no longer a need for war.

All businesses are run with the principle of cost of production plus profit price. Otherwise, they no longer exist. Until farmers command cost plus profit prices for production, they cannot call themselves true businessmen. The closest thing to having that power is the Canadian Wheat Board single desk marketing board. Without it, they will be reduced to price takers with only the choice of which company they can go to with cap in hand panhandling for a price for their grain.

Each community will lose at least $500,000 to $1 million annually on just the loss of final payments if we lose the wheat board’s single desk.

Instead of helping (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz get rid of the wheat board, we should be encouraging other nations to set up their wheat board to sell all farmers’ grain.

The benefits to all citizens of all nations would be staggering if this could be done.

Ronald E. Kennedy, Simpson, Sask.

AWAITING OPEN MARKET To the Editor: I’m writing this letter to encourage agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and to tell him we’re behind the Conservatives and can’t wait to be able to sell our wheat and barley into the open market.

I don’t care what the Canadian Wheat Board’s survey said. I did not participate in it because I don’t think anybody can tell us what we can do with our private property, regardless what the majority of farmers want.

Respect of private property is fundamental in a civil society. Twenty percent of God’s 10 commandments deal with it and therefore I know it’s crucial. The pro-single desk people are mostly driven by envy and jealousy. In other words, they are afraid of their neighbours getting more dollars per bushel than they are.

The open market is the only system that I can support as a God fearing Catholic and I thank you, Mr. Ritz, and the Conservatives, for doing what is right.

Rupert Theuerer, Spring Valley, Sask.

Thus Canada reaches east from shining sea and west to shining sea. And behold, Canada reaches north yea, even unto the very North Pole and south to the American border, within

OPINION which there dwelleth giants.

Now, it came to pass that when Stephen Harper was ruler of this land, and Gerry Ritz was the ruler’s stalwart and faithful minister of all things agricultural, that a decree came forth that henceforth it is a sin for all prairie growers of wheat and barley to own the marketing group, the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly.

Behold, that decree caused much loud and long wailing, also gnashing of teeth among members of the CWB. Indeed, they asked, “Why take away our marketing group that our forefathers gave much effort and suffering for, and which has served us well all this time; yea, labour has unions, professionals have associations, and behold, birds of the air group in flocks, and even the fish of the sea have schools.”

And so the ruler and his minister answered, “we wish to give freedom of choice to market as you wish, and

we fear the giants to the south — thus it is a sin to have a monopoly.”

Only on the Prairies, and only in Canada. Pity. Thus endeth the lesson.

Secondly, these groups fear commercial reprisals from the large grain and rail companies who will be running the show after the board is gone.

Who knew it would get this bad this quickly? Surely this is not what those of you who voted Conservative had in mind.

porting right wing parties, one questions these results.

Saskatchewan led North America in programs for people. Universal hospitalization and medicare, progressive labour legislation, the Saskatchewan Arts Board, the regional library system, the first Bill of Rights and successful crown corporations partnered with Saskatchewan businesses and purchased goods and services of $2 billion locally.

The United Nations has condemned (premier Brad) Wall’s labour bills as contrary to basic human rights.

Health-care workers, teachers and others have had their collective bargaining restricted, the right for arbitration not granted and been treated as not worthy of a salary raise.

Wall’s government broke its promise not to privatize the crowns. The Saskatchewan First policy restricted their investments and their assets were sold privately.

CONSERVATIVE RULE To the Editor: What explains the eerie silence of provincial farm organizations, provincial municipal associations and many producer car organizations as the Conservative government aggressively proceeds to kill the Canadian Wheat Board in Parliament?

Two things are driving this unbelievable silence.

First, these groups fear political reprisal from this government; they won’t even be allowed “in the room”

Profits were taken by government, and crown services done by SaskTel, SaskEnergy and SGI were privatized under Ken Cheveldayoff, Bill Boyd and Don Morgan. Ontario’s Northland private/profit power company will supply 10 percent of Saskatchewan’s power.

Saskatchewan and SaskPower will assume all the contract risks. Crown lands are being sold with no consultation with their public owners.

Public safety inspection and licensing of elevators, boilers, etc. will be under a Wall appointed board of directors. The provincial dairy lab has been closed and Milk Control Board eliminated. Raw milk will be shipped to Edmonton to be tested.

If people understand how Saskatchewan is being privatized, I believe they’ll vote more wisely.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | COURT TUSSLES

Change at the CWB: who’s right, legally speaking?

Conservatives push ahead | Can a past government stop future governments from certain actions?

STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

At the core of the bitter debate over government legislation to dismantle the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly is a simple question: can the government ignore a farmer plebiscite requirement in the CWB Act? The Liberals insist the requirement for a plebiscite if the mandate of the board is being changed, which was written into the act in 1998, must be obeyed even though Conservative legislation would rescind the CWB Act as of Aug. 1, 2012.

“This is illegal legislation,” deputy Liberal leader Ralph Goodale, author

of the 1998 rules, insisted.

The government scoffs at the claim, insisting parliamentary precedent is that a former Parliament cannot bind a future Parliament.

If the Liberal argument was correct, government House leader Peter Van Loan has argued, “our democratic system would indeed be paralyzed and held back by the heavy hand of history.”

It is a question likely to be at the core of legal challenges announced by the CWB board of directors last week and by a separate group of wheat board supporters.

In the University of Saskatchewan College of Law, professor Dwight

Newman says the weight of the law is on the government side.

“I think the dominant legal position is that no Parliament can bind the hands of a future Parliament,” he said in an Oct. 31 interview. “If a Parliament passes a piece of legislation that is inconsistent with a previous piece of legislation, the newer version always takes precedent and this in my mind is simply an instance of that.

Parliament is passing legislation down the road that is different from the legislation that existed before and it takes precedent.”

At Queen’s University in Kingston, professor emeritus Ned Franks offered the same legal opinion. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

just look at the principle of not binding future Parliaments but it should also look at whether this is a government trying to do indirectly what it cannot do directly. In other words, they are playing games.”

But would a judge go beyond the letter of the law to assess the spirit?

“I think that would be worth arguing, that the bill might be legal but the process bringing in the act is not,” he said. “I would make that argument although I’m not sure I would get away with it.”

Newman said the proposal that government process in passing legislation could be part of an appeal of legislation has not been thoroughly tested in court.

“I guess I would say this is an argument that could be made on the wheat board side but I still think that argument is inconsistent with the idea that Parliament can pass legislation if it wants,” said the former law clerk to a Supreme Court chief justice. “It is an argument the wheat board people can make, although I don’t think it would win out.”

“Crudely speaking, a Parliament cannot bind a successor Parliament,” said Franks, one of Canada’s preeminent authorities and authors on parliamentary issues. “That is a basic and a perfectly reasonable thing.”

But Franks, whose personal sympathies lie with the CWB and its role working for farmers, said a legal challenge could also raise the issue of whether the Conservatives are obeying the “spirit” of the law.

The government said it is in compliance with the CWB Act because while farmers will be able to forward contract future grain sales outside the CWB once the legislation is proclaimed into law this winter, the board monopoly will remain in place for sales of the 2011-12 wheat and barley crop until the July 31 end of the crop year when the legislation will be revoked.

“What they can say is that they are not going to defy the existing law until the existing law no longer exists,” he said. “This is what you call operating on the letter of the law but not the spirit. I would say the courts cannot

The special parliamentary committee examining a bill that will end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly will not be a forum to relive the CWB debate, the government has signaled.

Instead, the Legislative Committee on Bill C-18 will have a mandate to look at technical details of the government plans to end the single desk Aug. 1, 2012, and provide some financial backstop to the voluntary CWB for four years as it tries to convert into a private grain trader.

The committee, chaired by Conservative MP Blaine Calkins of Alberta, met for the first time late Oct. 31 to draw up a work plan.

But hours earlier, CWB parliamentary secretary David Anderson signalled that the committee will be expected to work quickly, restrict itself to examining technical details of the bill and to hold hearings in Ottawa.

In the House of Commons, Liberal agriculture critic Frank Valeriote demanded that the committee be given the right to travel west and to hear farmer witnesses.

“Western grain farmers and Canadians as a whole still have a right to better understand the devastating impact of this legislation,” he said.

Anderson suggested that after years of argument on the Prairies and approval of the bill in principle Oct. 24, the committee mandate will be confined.

“Our government is committed to passing the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act in a timely and orderly manner to ensure market certainty for farmers,” he said.

“They need market certainty for next year and we intend to do that as quickly as possible.”

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has said he wants the bill through Parliament and into law by mid-December when Parliament adjourns for six weeks.

It is a tight agenda, requiring the bill to get through the committee, report stage and final passage in the Commons and then through all stages in the Senate.

The Commons does not sit next week.

It means a focused committee procedure and little chance for opposition MPs to call witnesses or argue that the legislation is wrong-headed.

“This legislative committee is an ideal place to examine the bill and its technical nature,” said Anderson.

Ritz is expected to be the first witness.

If the bill had been referred to the Commons agriculture committee as normal, there would have been more of a forum for wide-ranging debate about the purpose and appropriateness of the government plan.

The government limited the Commons debate to just three days.

In addition to a prairie Conservative chair, the government controls a majority on the committee with western MPs Earl Dreeshen of Red Deer, Brian Storseth of northern Alberta, Anderson from Saskatchewan, Randy Hoback from Prince Albert, Rob Merrifield from Yellowhead, Candice Hoeppner from southern Manitoba and Bob Zimmer from Prince George-Peace River.

Opposition MPs are NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen from southwestern Ontario, Pat Martin from Winnipeg and Niki Ashton from Churchill, as well as rookie Quebec MP Jean Rousseau.

CWB | MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Barley industry hopes to see acreage increase Sparked by end of single desk | Producers said to be unhappy with the CWB’s inability to provide proper price signals STORIES BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The elimination of single desk marketing should increase barley acreage in Western Canada, says the Malting Industry Association of Canada.

President Phil de Kemp said proposed changes to the Canadian Wheat Board will allow malting companies to offer definitive price signals, something producers need when making annual cropping decisions.

“The industry is going to be able to signal to farmers immediately the prices (that maltsters) are prepared to pay for malting barley, and those prices will be reflective of the market on a daily and weekly basis,” de Kemp said.

“We’ll be able to provide cash on the barrel and farmers are going to know exactly the price they are going to receive with no hold-backs and no anticipation about what the final payments are going to be.”

The Canadian malting industry has been critical of CWB malting barley programs, suggesting they didn’t benefit farmers or malting companies.

De Kemp said CWB programs, including CashPlus, offered prices that didn’t truly reflect domestic and

In 2010, barley acres fell to their lowest level since 1965. | FILE PHOTO global markets, which fluctuate daily and weekly.

The CashPlus program offered single desk pricing but also gave producers the flexibility to negotiate directly with malting companies on freight costs, elevation, cleaning, premiums and storage.

Prairie growers committed 500,000

tonnes to the program in 2009-10, which accounts for 25 percent of the CWB’s total malting barley sales in any given year.

However, de Kemp said the malting industry still felt the program failed to provide definitive price signals that farmers are looking for when making cropping decisions and calculating net returns per acre.

He also said malting companies felt restricted in their ability to offer contract prices that were transparent, responsive and truly reflective of market values.

Malting companies would be more inclined to invest in Western Canada if the CWB no longer influenced malting barley contract prices, he added.

De Kemp said the domestic malting industr y has long argued that amendments to the CWB Act in the late 1990s put them at a competitive disadvantage when buying barley.

“After those changes were made, we felt there was no ability or recourse back to government.… There was no arbitration, there was no mechanism for dispute resolution at all,” said de Kemp.

“So if you are a (global) company … and you have a tranche of money (for) upgrades or capacity expansions and new plants and you’ve got opportunities around the world,

where are you going to go with them?

There may be some good news stories coming down the line (for the western Canadian malting industry), but it’s going to take some time.”

Brian Otto, president of the Western Barley Growers Association, said he believes growers will also prefer working under the new environment, suggesting price transparency is a key issue when it comes to minimizing business risk.

“On my farm, when I want to do a malting barley contract, it is much more attractive to me when I know exactly what that crop is worth,” Otto said.

“When I deliver that malting barley and it meets specs, I know exactly what I’m going to get paid.”

He predicted that some malting companies will begin offering multiyear contracts to lock up acreage over a longer time frame.

“I certainly think barley acres are going to increase because we’re going to create a positive market environment, the industry will be able to give more transparent price signals, producers will know exactly what they’re dealing with and delivery opportunities will be better.”

Canada produces 1.8 to 2.2 million tonnes of malting barley in an average production year.

Fifty to 60 percent of that is nor-

mally sold to domestic maltsters, which process the barley and then sell it as finished malt.

Barley acres in Canada and the United States have fallen over the past decade or more, largely because of increased demand and better returns for oilseeds and corn, which have seen increased demand in food, feed and biofuel markets.

T h e s i g n i f i c a nt p r i c e s p re a d between malting barley and feed barley also discourages production because it places more financial risk on farmers if malting samples are rejected.

Canada’s barley acreage averaged more than 11.8 million acres per year between 1995 and 1999.

A decade later, between 2005 and 2009, average annual plantings were 9.6 million acres, a decrease of nearly 19 percent.

In 2010, plantings fell to 6.9 million acres, their lowest level since 1965, although Western Canada’s acreage was significantly hampered by excess spring moisture.

“We need barley acres,” said de Kemp. “We’ve got our work cut out for us but we feel that this is a great opportunity to try to grow the barley acres and the only way that we’re going to grow the barley acres is by showing the farmer competitive prices.”

MALT PLANT | EXPANSION

Alta. maltster expands Plans to compete for grain with greater storage capacity Rahr Malting plans to spend more than $6 million to expand barley storage capacity at its malting plant in Alix, Alta.

Bob Sutton, vice-president of sales and logistics, said the expansion will include the construction of three 9,000 tonne storage bins.

Construction will begin immediately and should be complete by next summer.

The bins will triple storage capacity at the Alix plant, adding 27,000 tonnes of aerated storage space.

Sutton made the announcement Nov. 1 in Alix.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, who was scheduled to attend the announcement, is spearheading government efforts to eliminate single desk grain marketing in Western Canada.

Sutton said Ottawa will not contribute money to the expansion, but he said the government’s decision to end single desk marketing influenced Rahr’s decision to invest in the facility.

“If there weren’t any changes coming, we honestly wouldn’t feel the need to build any new storage,” Sutton said. “In the new environment, we’re going to have to be much more competitive in our dealings with growers in terms of not only price but also helping them manage storage risk.”

Rahr contracts 180,000 tonnes of malting barley annually in Western Canada.

The Alix expansion will allow Rahr to take delivery of its total annual

tonnage about three months earlier than normal, Sutton said.

Deliveries of farmer-contracted barley should be completed by June of each year rather than August.

This will result in a more flexible delivery schedule for farmers and will reduce business risks associated with on-farm storage and germination loss, Sutton said.

He said he isn’t convinced that proposed grain marketing changes will result in larger barley acreage in Western Canada.

Instead, he said demand for unprocessed Canadian malting barley will hinge on the ability of Canadian grain merchants, including line companies, to service existing overseas customers and identify new buyers that weren’t buying from the wheat board.

“Overall, I think it will depend on how merchants can get in there and find new markets,” Sutton said. “If the Australian example is going to be followed here, and I assume that it is, I think we’ll find a lot more niche markets that I don’t think the board was very effective at selling into.”

Rahr is one of four malting companies in Western Canada that belong to the Malting Industry Association of Canada.

It also owns a malting plant in Shakopee, Minnesota, and a barley procurement and distribution facility in Taft, North Dakota.

Other MIAC members include European-based Malteurop in Winnipeg, Prairie Malt in Biggar, Sask., and Canada Malting Ltd. (CML).

HUNGER | POVERTY

Technology makes farming profitable, feeds poor GM technology an issue | Many poor countries have psychological and political barriers to biotechnology acceptance Watch for a special report about the coexistence of GM crops with conventional and organic crops in the coming weeks in the pages of The Western Producer.

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The solution to the world hunger crisis is not growing more crops, says the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization s.

“The main cause of hunger in the world is not lack of food production, it’s poverty,” said Ann Tutwiler, depu-

ty director general of the FAO. Enough calories are produced around the world to feed everybody, she said. The problem is crops are not grown where they are most needed and people in impoverished areas are too poor to pay for the excess production of exporting countries.

She said addressing poverty is the solution for the hunger crisis and the best way to do that is by making farming more profitable.

“Studies have indicated that agriculture is six times as effective at poverty reduction as industrial growth,” Tutwiler told delegates

ANN TUTWILER FAO

attending the Coexistence Between Genetically Modified and non-GM Based Agricultural Supply Chains conference.

She said extreme price volatility in the grain and oilseed sector is contributing to the hunger problem.

Price spikes in 2008 and earlier this year pushed an estimated 44 million more people into poverty.

Price spikes are temporary by nature, but they have lasting ramifications. Farmers in the developing world do not benefit from the rising price of exported grain. Instead, they are forced to sell livestock and cut back on inputs to feed their families.

The FAO is forecasting a 20 percent increase in the price of cereal grains and a 30 percent hike in the price of meat over the next decade.

Tutwiler said the good thing about the recent price spikes is that it has access=subscriber section=news,none,none

drawn attention to the plight of the world’s poor.

“Now we need to make sure there is political will to match the political attention.”

Technology transfer is the key to improving the plight of subsistence farmers and helping them cope with continued price volatility.

Tutwiler said African farmers could be two to three times more productive if they had access to the knowledge, technology and seeds available in the developed world.

Genetically modified crops could be part of the solution, but big concerns need to be addressed with the technology.

“We really need to figure out how to deal with intellectual property issues in the area of seeds because I think it is becoming a real psychological and political barrier to the acceptance of biotechnology,” said Tutwiler.

She said it is frightening that farmers are questioning the benefits of hybrid seeds over fears of becoming captive to technology companies.

Those fears are spilling over and casting doubt on other previously accepted technologies.

The variations in profits where GM crops have been adopted in developing nations also needs to be addressed.

Indian farmers in the state of Tamil Nadu have realized huge profits through the adoption of BT cotton while growers in the neighbouring s t at e o f A n d h ra P ra d e s h hav e received little return on their investment.

The profit discrepancy is the result of seed industry fraud and statemandated seed price caps in Andhra Pradesh, which have caused technology companies to send their worst material to that state. That in turn has led to a backlash against GM crops in Andhra Pradesh.

“We need to make a better case for why these new technologies can benefit farmers and why they aren’t just rich country crops,” said Tutwiler.

The FAO predicts a world population of 9.1 billion people by 2050.

“We’re going to have an additional two Chinas to feed,” said Tutwiler.

The increased population will require an additional one billion tonnes of cereals, 200 million tonnes of meat, 175 million tonnes of oilseeds and 800 million tonnes of fruits and vegetables annually.

The FAO estimates 85 percent of the growth in productivity in the developing world will have to come from yield increases, with the remainder from bringing additional land into production.

Farmers will need an additional $209 billion per year in private agricultural research and development to improve yields, or 50 percent more than the current annual investment.

There also needs to be increased investment in public research and development because private companies don’t tend to focus their efforts on the crops and climatic conditions of developing countries.

Tutwiler said it is important that new technology is delivered to women, who make up the majority of farmers in developing nations.

They have not had the same access to productive resources as men.

MANITOBA | FLOOD PREVENTION

Second flood channel planned: ag minister Manitoba government says it is committed to building another drainage channel from Lake Manitoba

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A $100 million channel designed to reduce record water levels on Lake Manitoba is nearly finished, but many ranchers and residents with property around the lake remain frustrated.

They want the province to build a second outlet at the north end of the lake.

“The feeling in the country, by the people affected by the high lake levels, is that they’d like to see the province dig another canal from Lake Manitoba across to Lake Winnipeg,” said Tim Clarke, a cattle producer from Ashern who also works for Manitoba Agriculture.

“People want to see a permanent (solution) for preventing this type of disaster.”

Contractors began excavating an eight-kilometre-long channel in July to drain Lake St. Martin between Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg.

Once the channel is complete, likely in November, it will be used to lower water levels in Lake St. Martin.

The province will also run the Fairford Control Structure at full capacity over the winter to reduce water levels in Lake Manitoba. It is an outlet at the north end of Lake Manitoba that drains into Lake St. Martin.

The provincial government authorized the $100 million project because water levels in Lake Manitoba exceeded 817 feet above sea level this summer, nearly five feet higher than the maximum regulated levels for the lake. The topography around Lake Manitoba is particularly flat, so many pastures, hay land, homes and yards have been flooded since May. “Even though Lake Manitoba is only up five feet in some places, it (water) is backed up two or three miles onto land,” said Clarke. “It will be a matter of time before some of those areas get dry enough to try farming again.”

Flooded pastures and hay land forced many cattle producers with land adjacent to the lake to move livestock to higher ground or relocate animals.

Producers, cottage owners and other residents don’t want to see another year like 2011 and have asked the government to dig a second channel to drain Lake Manitoba.

The provincial government asked two engineering firms earlier this year to consider options for draining Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin.

They recommended digging the channel to drain Lake St. Martin.

Once that was complete, they said, the province should consider a $60 million channel that bypasses the Fairford Dam and drains water from Lake Manitoba into Lake St. Martin.

Brian Sigfusson, reeve of the Rural Municipality of Coldwell, said he thinks the province intends to construct the second channel.

“It’s going to proceed, I haven’t been told any different,” said Sigfusson, who sits on the Lake Manitoba Flood Rehabilitation Committee, a group of concerned landowners and access=subscriber section=news,none,none

municipal politicians in the region.

The provincial government didn’t mention the second channel in its Oct. 20 throne speech, but agriculture minister Stan Struthers said it does plan to follow through on the engineers’ recommendations.

“Our commitment has been to make every effort to bring down the levels of the lakes that are being impacted,” he said.

FEDERAL FINANCES | BUDGET PLANNING

House of Commons committee gets grain industry wish list Royalty income a concern | Grain Growers of Canada wants royalties from Agriculture Canada innovations to go into its research budget

BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Research and trade were front and centre when the House of Commons finance committee touched down in Saskatoon last week.

The committee is touring the country as it gathers public input on what should be in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal budget.

Crop Life Canada and Grain Growers of Canada were two of the groups to appear at the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saskatoon meeting Oct. 27.

They asked the federal government to boost trade negotiations, reduce

trade barriers and reinvest money from royalties derived from successful Agriculture Canada innovations into current research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our industry is strongly supportive of all efforts by the Government of Canada to open global markets and pursue trade agreements that will allow Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural sector to grow,â&#x20AC;? said Dennis Prouse of Crop Life Canada.

He asked the government to pursue changes in three key areas: â&#x20AC;˘ Continue to negotiate and eventually implement the CanadianEuropean Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.

Canada and the EU have completed the eighth round of negotiations, and the negotiating text is at an advanced stage, with a number of chapters completed. â&#x20AC;˘ Aggressively pursue new trade with other major trading partners. â&#x20AC;˘ Finish the work of the Red Tape Reduction Commission, which was formed to reduce governmental regulatory barriers between Canada and the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Red Tape Reduction Commission holds great promise for improving efficiency and fostering innovation, but only if every department and agency is held accountable for

addressing the recommendations made to it,â&#x20AC;? said Prouse.

Prouse also proposed the government set clear marks for success in the work of the Regulatory Co-operation Council.

Todd Hames of Grain Growers of Canada lobbied for changes in how the government uses royalty income that Agriculture Canada earns from successful innovations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the absence of increased direct federal contributionsâ&#x20AC;Ś the federal government should lock in the current Ag Canada research budget where it is today and then tie it to inflation,â&#x20AC;? Hames said.

# # & % '#%

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government should allow all royalty streams generated by Ag Canada discoveries to be added onto the current research budget.â&#x20AC;?

He said it would be the easiest way to increase Agriculture Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research budget because the royalties paid by the private sector will increase the funding.

The change would encourage federal scientists to research more areas that cater to the interest of farmers, food processors and other industry stakeholders, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, this would put between five and six million additional dollars into research each year.â&#x20AC;? access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

The federal government has tabled legislation that could give Alberta and British Columbia six additional MPs each by the October 2015 election.

The Fair Representation Act tabled in Parliament Oct. 27 would also give Ontario 15 additional seats and three more to Quebec, raising the total number of MPs to 338 from 308.

It fulfills a Conservative election promise to add more MPs to increase representation for the fastest-growing provinces. A political backlash in Quebec about a dilution of that provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliamentary clout led the Conservatives to add three MPs, even though the Quebec population is relatively stable.

As a result of the proposed changes, Alberta, B.C. and Ontario will still have fewer Commons seats than their population would warrant, but it will be closer to the representationby-population principle than is now the case. Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MP count will rise to 34 and British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to 42.

Quebec, with its additional seats increasing the count to 78, will be slightly over-represented, as will Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Atlantic provinces where minimum seat counts are guaranteed.

Debate on the legislation was expected to begin Nov. 2 and the government is likely to move quickly to limit discussion so the bill can pass in time to affect redistribution before the 2015 election.

Because many of the new seats will be in the West and Ontario suburbs, which are mainly Conservative areas, it is expected that many of the additions will be Conservativefriendly ridings in future elections.

Edmonton MP Tim Uppal, minister of state for democratic reform, said the seat additions are a â&#x20AC;&#x153;principled and reasonableâ&#x20AC;? move to make Commons representation fairer.

Without a change in the formula, voters in the faster growing provinces would fall further behind in the equality of their vote and the size of their ridings, he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WHEAT | DROUGHT

Rain, snow improves U.S. winter wheat outlook Growing drought stalks Ukraine’s winter grain crop CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Recent rain and snow benefited the emerging hard red winter wheat crop in the U.S. Plains, but more rain is needed to ensure a bountiful harvest.

However, the winter wheat crop in Ukraine deteriorated late last month because of dry weather. The amount of crop considered in poor shape is at 39 percent, and a lot of the seeded crop has yet to sprout.

Moisture has improved in the U.S. southern plains, said Joel Widenor, an agricultural meteorologist with the Commodity Weather Group.

“Germination and establishment concerns are now limited to 15 percent or less of the belt,” he said.

Areas that remain dry include southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas, the Oklahoma Panhandle and the far northern portion of the Texas Panhandle.

From six to 20 millimetres of moisture fell in the Plains states in late October, but a return to drier weather was expected.

Freezing temperatures likely did not harm much of the crop because of insulating snow cover in the areas affected, mainly in eastern Colorado, western Nebraska and northwestern Kansas.

Eighty-two percent of the winter wheat crop had been planted as of Oct. 24, and 56 percent had emerged, behind the 63 percent five-year average.

Forty-seven percent of the crop was in good to excellent shape, the same as a year ago.

Ukraine’s agriculture ministry said weather conditions during sowing were “extremely difficult or critical,” and most Ukrainian regions were struggling with a severe drought.

The ministry said 95 percent of the 20 million acres of winter grains had been seeded and 55 percent had sprouted. Two-thirds of the crop that had sprouted were in good or satisfactory shape. A large portion of the dry area might have to be reseeded with spring crops. access=subscriber section=news,crops,markets

COALDALE, Alta. — The 150 dairy cows at Elk Creek Dairy bed down in material that is soft, fluffy and brown.

It used to be their manure, but a fan separator system has allowed dairy owner Brian Stoutjesdyk to recycle the manure and drastically reduce his bedding purchases.

He used to buy about 18 truckloads of sawdust per year, but the amount of manure he handles has dropped by 30 percent since getting the fan separator because less bedding material is in the total waste.

“We did it to reduce the manure output and to create our own bedding,” Stoutjesdyk told a recent County of Lethbridge agricultural tour group.

Fresh liquid manure, collected in a pit beneath the barn floor, is pumped to the separator, where 40 percent of the liquid is removed as the fibres are squeezed.

The liquid goes into ear then manure storage, and Stoutjesdyk hopes to set up a fertigation system next year to spread it on his fields.

Liquid manure is now injected into his 800 acres of farmland about three times a year.

The fibre material, which is the silage and forage digested by dairy cows, is conveyed to an outside pile and composted. Once sufficiently dry, it is used to bed cows in the barn.

There is more than enough to bed the cows. The rest is light and can be economically trucked to more distant fields. Removing the liquid removes much of the odour, and the compost process does the rest.

“It reduced my carbon footprint hugely,” said Stoutjesdyk.

Other benefits include reduced soil compaction and lower fuel expenses.

Klaus Santrau of South Country Livestock Equipment said Stoutjesdyk’s system could handle manure from up to 1,000 cattle, although it is one of the smaller units available to dairy farms. Such systems are becoming more economical as technology improves.

Compost made from all things organic Centre touts practice | Nutritional benefits of compost evident in field for several years Andrew Olson, research technician at the Agriculture Canada research centre in Lethbridge, discusses the attributes of a composting project that handles almost all organic waste produced at the centre. | BARB GLEN PHOTO

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

An on-site compost operation reduces organic waste by 50 percent at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lethbridge.

“Ever ything organic on the (research) farm is composted,” said research technician Andrew Olson, who explained the process during an Oct. 19 County of Lethbridge tour that highlighted beneficial management practices including waste disposal.

Organic waste produced at the centre includes manure from the feedlot, animal carcasses and material from field operations and greenhouses.

Olson said the centre uses some of the compost in its own fields and markets the rest through a local firm.

He said heat generated in the compost kills most weed seeds and pathogens and produces a good soil amendment.

The Lethbridge area is home to many intensive livestock operations, which generate large amounts of manure.

Excessive nitrogen and phosphorus are often found in fields surrounding feedlots because manure is heavy and expensive to transport.

Composting reduces manure volume and makes waste more affordable to haul for longer distances.

“I don’t know why it hasn’t caught on the way it should,” said Olson.

It might be partly because composting requires a clay base, an effluent-catching ditch and a compost windrow turner that can cost $40,000 or more.

Olson said the basic ingredients of compost are manure, oxygen, water and a carbon base such as straw or sawdust. Much of the nitrogen contained in manure is lost in the compost process, but what remains is in a more stable form.

Soil responds slower to compost than to raw manure, but the soil nutrition benefits of compost can be seen in fields over three or four years.

Temperature and moisture levels are key to producing good compost efficiently.

FOOD SECURITY | FUNDING

Population growth sparks new calls for ag Private investment needed | New initiatives focus on helping poor nations feed themselves KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In China, dairy cows revolve on carousels in synchronized milking; in Kenya, small farmers are planting a new high-yielding sweet potato; and in laboratories in Iowa, scientists play with plant genetics to create corn that grows well even in drought.

These projects, and scores more, are shaping a new century of agriculture.

Whether it be cattle herders in subSaharan Africa or rice growers in rural Asia, farmers and ranchers need help to produce enough nutritious food to feed a population that the United Nations now says is seven billion.

The UN also predicts the population will grow to nine billion by 2050.

With no increase in arable land, an already taxed supply of fresh water and fears of ongoing drought and harmful climate change, figuring out how to feed that many people is a top priority for governments and private interests.

However, just as research, development and expansion of agricultural programs become most critical, the public money pledged to this effort remains a pittance of what is needed,

and is in fact in danger of sharp decline, experts say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are talking about adding 2.6 billion people between now and 2050. That is two Chinas,â&#x20AC;? said Robert Thompson, who serves on the International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council and is former director of rural development for the World Bank.

Twenty-five percent of U.S. foreign aid went to agriculture in the 1980s, but that fell to six percent by 1990 and was only one percent last year, Thompson said.

As well, the share of world bank lending that goes to agriculture is down from 30 percent in 1978 to less than 10 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to raise productivity,â&#x20AC;?

Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we can do it all if we invest enough in research. But at the moment we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Moves by U.S. lawmakers to slash spending are threatening food security programs in poor countries and will likely lead other nations to similarly trim pledged agricultural development dollars, say experts in the field.

Charitable foundations, nonprofit development groups and private

The United Nations estimates that the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven billionth person would be born Oct. 31, shining a spotlight on how to produce enough nutritious food to feed everybody.

will go unmet without the heft of significant funding from the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealthy nations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is by far not enough investment made,â&#x20AC;? said Claude Fauquet, scientific director at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in the United States, which is developing a cassava variety for Africa that is enriched with beta carotene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We estimate that already today there are one billion people in the world suffering from malnutrition,â&#x20AC;? said Fauquet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will not go down unless we invest more.â&#x20AC;?

The Danforth Center, which has a budget of $4 million a year, will be asking its donors, including the U.S. government, for increased contributions in 2012, he said.

For decades, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus has been more on food aid: donating excess grain and other agricultural supplies to poor nations. Over the last few years, that focus has shifted toward better positioning poor farmers to feed themselves.

The goals include increasing food productivity, developing rural roads, building processing and storage plants and broadening access to markets to provide higher incomes and long-term food security for people in poor countries.

The key targets are an estimated 600 million people who live in poverty in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia and depend on agriculture for their livelihoods.

The need for improved crop productivity was underscored by a 2008 spike in food prices tied to production shortages. In July 2009, the U.S. pledged $3.5 billion over three years in funding for world food security programs.

Another $18.5 billion was pledged by other wealthy nations.

Keeping the pledge is getting harder as the global economy falters and cuts hit U.S. and European

budgets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have to keep up the effort to secure funding,â&#x20AC;? said Jonathan Shrier, acting special representative for global food security at the U.S. State Department.

The World Bank is also overseeing a fund dubbed the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP). The United States is the largest donor, but Canada, Spain, South Korea, Australia, Ireland and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have also pledged funds that total $970 million.

However, more than $400 million of the pledged money has not come in, including close to $300 million from the U.S. A GAFSP report issued earlier this fall said several countries had to be turned away because of the shortage of funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of the global food security debate, agriculture is paramount,â&#x20AC;? said Emily Alpert, a London-based senior agricultural policy manager for ONE, an advocacy organization for development in Africa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More funding is extremely critical for addressing poverty reduction and food insecurity.â&#x20AC;?

Alongside that effort, U.S. president Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration last year launched a Feed the Future initiative that is targeting 19 countries for agricultural development assistance.

For example, U.S. officials are spending $10 to $15 million on an irrigation system for 8,000 farmers in Tanzania and helping teach farmers in Kenya new crop production and management techniques and improving access to better seeds that have helped farmers triple their incomes from â&#x20AC;&#x153;orange fleshedâ&#x20AC;? sweet potatoes.

The U.S. program has also helped launch an insurance program for cattle herders in northern Kenya and is helping fund development of heatand drought-resistant corn and other cereal crops.

OPEN FOR DEBATE Last week’s historic parliamentary vote to approve in principle Bill C-18 to end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly was a deeply personal moment for some of the MPs involved.

Ted Menzies, southern Alberta MP and minister of state for finance, southern Saskatchewan MP David Anderson and veteran Prince Edward Island MP Wayne Easter have been battling the issue for decades. The Western Producer asked them about the experience. | BY BARRY WILSON, OTTAWA BUREAU

TED MENZIES MINISTER OF STATE (FINANCE)

Q:

You have long been a CWB critic and you were asked to second the bill to end the single desk. How did that feel?

A:

I was very excited to be offered the opportunity by minister (Gerry) Ritz to second the legislation. I have been waiting for almost 40 years to be able to speak to this piece of legislation.

Forty years ago, I had no idea I would be a member of Parliament involved in this. I was a farmer and I enjoyed it, but one challenge that always frustrated me was the fact that some of my production that I made all of the decisions about and took all the risks on and yet I had no control over what price I would receive, unlike with my other crops.

Q:

Presumably other farmers had that frustration but didn’t necessarily get politically involved to try to change it. You became president of Western Wheat Growers and then a member of Parliament. What drove you to take time from your farm for politics?

A:

I was passionate about it because so much was in my control in my business. I could control what I planted, what equipment I had, my costs, but I couldn’t control the income side of it for two of my significant crops.

I was also frustrated because I think we have lost out on developing new wheat varieties because there has been little incentive since the wheat board held back on introducing some new varieties.

Q:

When you rose to vote Oct. 24, knowing your side would win after 40 years, what were you thinking?

A:

Well, there wasn’t a tear in my eye, but I was happy. I’m sorry I didn’t have more time in my speech to recognize some of the pioneers in this battle.

One was Charlie Mayer, who as minister managed to get oats out of the board and as I recall, the sky didn’t fall. And the oats industry did quite well afterwards. I think it was an important advance.

I did polling on this in my riding in 2008 because I knew one day we would fulfill our promise to end the monopoly.

The result was 98.5 percent support for marketing freedom.

That is a mandate. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

DAVID ANDERSON |

Q: A:

How long have you been involved in the issue?

This has been an issue for me since I was on the farm in the early ’80s.

I’ve always thought we could market our other crops so why not wheat, and there were examples early in my years when it was clear we could have done better than we did through the Canadian Wheat Board.

One of them was one fall when we had frozen grain and we actually had made arrangements to sell it to a company in Montana.

rate would have been one issue.

And certainly the wheat board was a major factor when I was thinking about that.

The company called us back and said that they didn’t want our grain because they were getting a better deal through the wheat board and they made arrangements with them.

I actually followed the trucks from our own elevator to Montana where they took a lower price for it.

Those kinds of things inspire you to get involved and fight for what you think are your rights.

Q:

How much did the CWB issue figure in your decision to run for politics in 2000?

Q:

What was it like to be part of the vote Oct. 24 to get rid of the monopoly after all these years of fighting it?

A: A:

the wheat board would be one of those issues that were key to my career, and it has been.

The other night, there was a sense of relief when we passed the first hurdle of getting the legislation through the House, but of course we haven’t accomplished anything yet.

We have to get the bill through.

We have to establish some stability for farmers by Jan. 1. When we get the bill through, I will be very happy.

It was not emotional for me because I made the determination I would not celebrate anything until we have the bill passed. The emotion will come at royal assent. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

INTERNATIONAL TRADE CRITIC

Q:

I have been on the wheat board file probably back to 1974. That started with National Farmers Union youth, president of the NFU and then as an MP. When I would go west with the NFU in the early days, there would be seminars about the marketing system and the role of co-operatives and collective action, so I was steeped in that stuff.

It is not just the single desk.

It is all the ways the wheat board gave farmers power, not just in international markets but also in dealing with producer cars, the railways and some many other areas. At the core of the system working is the work of the Canadian Wheat Board.

My feeling at the vote was absolute disheartenment at not only the loss of the wheat board single desk but

the way it is happening. Those who support the wheat board have been left voiceless.

If farmers decided to get rid of it, I

You came into to federal politics from the NFU as not just a great wheat board supporter but also a supporter of the Crow rate.

Now, you have watched your own Liberal government get rid of the Crow and now you are part of a Parliament that is ending the single desk.

Does it affect your faith in the political process?

A:

I think what it spells out is that regardless of what party is in power, the lack of political clout of the farm community.

On potash, the government protected Canadian interests.

This is the direct opposite. Is it just because farmers are scattered through small communities?

That’s what I find discouraging about the whole political process, that the little guy seems to have no muscle and when he has some muscle through something like the Canadian Wheat Board, it is taken away.

International trading offices and ext ensive processing capabilities means we can find the best market opportu nities for western Canadian produc ers.

MEAT | EXPORTS

Meat sector praises fed’s trade efforts Sector still wants a deal signed with South Korea

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Red meat industry leaders got together Oct. 24 to praise the Conservative government for efforts to open markets for Canadian agricultural exports.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Travis Toews said agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and t ra d e m i n i s t e r E d Fa s t “ re a l l y understand that our producers need market access and we thank them for working hard to create that access for us.”

T h e Ca na d i a n Me at C o u n c i l echoed the praise, as did Pulse Canada, which asked the Conservatives to increase efforts in the next year to reduce tariff, non-tariff and transportation barriers that still restrict pulse exports.

The industry leaders issued statements of praise after Ritz released a market access report that described deals that will allow tens of millions of dollars worth of additional products to be sold to countries ranging from beef to South Korea and canola and beef tallow to China.

“These successes represent real dollars in the pockets of our farmers and significant growth for the Canadian economy,” he said in a speech to an Ottawa conference on market access. The market access secretariat will continue its work, Ritz added.

“Despite our shared successes, there remains much more work to be done,” he said.

Ritz suggested that the Conservative government’s approach to trade promotion, which includes industry involvement and priorities, is better than that of previous governments.

“There was a time when industry and government operated on different tracks and with different priorities,” he said.

“Often they both worked with limited resources and ultimately had limited results.”

He said Canadian efforts in Russia allowed a tripling of beef sales to that country in the past year, and he predicted that will increase as Canadian-Russian co-operation continues.

Ritz told reporters later that Canada could become Russia’s preferred supplier of beef and industry technology and knowledge.

“The Russians are giving us that to believe,” he said, because Canada is co-operating with them to improve Russian production, processing and marketing.

“They are looking at Canada supplying a full value chain in their meat industry,” he said. “No one else is prepared to do that so it’s certainly giving us an inside track.”

He also responded to the meat industry’s call for renewed free trade talks with South Korea because competitor countries are signing deals that will give them access advantages.

Ritz told reporters that the first priority was last summer’s agreement that could restore “access to the lucrative South Korea beef market” by the end of the year.

“With free trade talks, we’re always amenable to pick those up again,” he said. “We wanted to get that beef situation out of the way.”

The Koreans are signaling full implementation by year end.

“That’s a good solid signal to us that they are serious about the CanadaKorea free trade agreement and we’re happy to sit down to expedite a process. c c e s ”s = s u b s c r i b e r that

SNOWBIRDS KNOW WHERE TO GO

Auto sector denies blame for trade delay Breakdown in talks with South Korea irks meat sector

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The Canadian auto industry says it is not to blame for holding up a free trade deal with South Korea.

Pressure has been increasing on the federal government to resume negotiations with the Asian country now that the United States has ratified a similar deal.

The red meat sector is particularly anxious to see resumption of talks and has pointed the finger at the auto sector for the breakdown in talks.

“We’ve haven’t got back to them because we’ve got some definite resistance from the auto sector in Canada from doing a deal with Korea,” said Canadian Pork Council executive director Martin Rice.

But Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association president Steve Rodgers said that’s not the case because the auto industry isn’t taking an extreme position on the issue.

“I would not say (it’s a) hard line,” he said. “There has been a desire to bring attention to the fact that it is of not much value for Canada … from an automotive perspective. It is going to be one-way (trade) with Korea because we don’t have an offsetting opportunity.”

The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association said on its website that a free trade agreement with Korea would eliminate Canada’s 6.1 percent tariff on vehicles made in South Korea. If the tariff is removed, Hyundai and Kia would have a price advantage of $1,500 on an average vehicle sold in Canada, it added.

Rodgers said the trade deal is a complete loss for companies that manufacture vehicles in Ontario and Quebec because Hyundai and Kia don’t have assembly plants in this country.

“From a Canadian perspective, we have very few vehicles that could end up in Korea. So there is no offsetting benefit for us in Canada.”

Rogers said that despite its concerns, the auto industry understands that free trade benefits the Canadian economy. Consumers will have more cash to buy trucks and cars if the economy grows and jobs are created because of a deal with Korea.

A rumour floated around the auto industry in early 2010 that Hyundai would reopen a vehicle assembly plant in Bromont, Que., which it closed in 1995, but Rodgers said that isn’t going to happen.

“That’s an absolutely false rumour,” he said.“Hyundai/Kia has made it very clear that they will not re-open Bromont…. Their next investment, with respect to North America, is likely to be Mexico.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Cool, wet weather, a bumper crop and plenty of acres prompted the Shady Lane Hutterite colony to ask neighbours and other colonies to help finish its northern Alberta harvest.

Fourteen combines descended on the last few fields in an attempt to complete the harvest before the snow fell.

The colony was concerned by reports of snow at Cleardale, Alta., only a two hour drive north, said David Tschetter, the colony schoolteacher who was assigned a combine for the 18,000 acre harvest.

“That kind of makes everybody a little nervous. We did 4,000 in the last three and a half days. We’re really knocking her down,” Tschetter said Oct. 25 from his combine near the Wanham, Alta., colony.

“Everybody is going at breakneck speed,” he said.

“There have been quite a few showers in the last couple weeks. Last week everyone was going non-stop.

Everyone who has a dryer is drying.

There’s lots of tough grain going into grain bags.”

Tschetter said he has not seen such high yields since the colony was established in 2002.

“We’ve had an exceptional crop up here. Everyone’s got bins full or piling it on the ground, or if they have a grain bagger, putting it in bags,” he said.

“It’s quite exciting.”

Farmers in the Peace River area have struggled to get a good harvest after three years of drought.

Rain didn’t arrive until June this year and it looked like it would be a fourth year of miserable crops. A combination of rain and cool weather created two scenarios in the area.

Many crops were drowned out on the heavy gumbo and flat land, but yields are surprising farmers on the drained and sandier land.

“Before, we’ve had some really good crops, but low quality and lower prices. This year everything seems to be lining up: record yields, record prices and some decent quality. It’s definitely been the crop we’ve been waiting for.”

Tschetter estimated the canola he was harvesting during the interview was yielding 55 bushels per acre and coming off in excellent condition, although it varied from dry to 14 to 16 percent moisture.

POTATOES | DISEASE

with it once it’s in the bin.”

Hustling to get the last fields harvested with 14 combines is a delicate dance of trucks, combines, baggers, augers and grain carts that takes plenty of organization, he said.

“A couple of combines get ahead of the pack and clean up the headlands, and then we all get in there and get at it,” Tschetter said. “It’s like we’re all fighting for swaths. We can chew up a quarter in just over an hour.”

He said the colony tries to harvest the larger fields with the full complement of equipment.

“It’s something we’ve never experience before, to say the least.”

Tschetter said the peas averaged 68 bu. per acre, with some low areas dropping to 15 bu. per acre.

Some wheat reached 100 bu. but averaged 85. The winter wheat yielded well but will likely grade only No. 2 or 3 because of the continual fall drizzle.

He’s said he’s looking forward to finishing harvest and getting a good night’s sleep. The harvest crew usually begins around 10:30 a.m. and goes “breakneck speed” until 3:30 am.

“You kind of turn into a zombie,” he said.

Tschetter said he implemented a strict no-kids-under-14 rule near the farm equipment before harvest began. Four years ago, a four-yearold child was killed in an auger accident at the Twilight colony near Falher, just west of Wanham.

“That was a good wake-up call,” said Tschetter, who knows that big equipment, tired operators and children aren’t a good mix.

However, the colony recognizes that it’s exciting to watch several combines in a field at one time eating through the grain, so it allows adults and children to participate in supervised tours to the field to see the harvest.

“With the kids, you certainly can’t tie a piano to a leg,” Tschetter said.

“They’re excited, they want to see harvest, especially when there’s 11 combines in the field. It’s got to be done in a safe manner. Drive them up with a supervisor. I don’t want them to experience a harvest in the inside of cab unsupervised.”

Potato growers should check their seed potatoes to ensure they don’t carry late blight into next season.

Robert Spencer, a commercial horticulture specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said late blight can survive on seed potatoes even though plant foliage is frozen and dead.

Planting tubers infected with blight can result in late blight infection next year, which is easily spread to other gardens and commercial fields by wind and water-borne spores.

“The big issue is carryover from season to season,” said Spencer.

Late blight is termed a community disease because all types of growers can spread the disease.

“The commercial growers take every step to protect their crops. If the home gardeners don’t, it could potentially serve as a source of inoculum,” Spencer said.

In 2010, late blight was a problem in home gardens within wetter areas of central and southern Alberta. There were also a few problems in commercially grown potato fields.

Spencer said it was less of an issue

this year, except in the wetter Peace River region.

“There was a lot more preventive and protective spraying going on this year. People are a lot more cautious, at least in the commercial industry.”

Recommended steps to eliminate carryover of late blight include: • Dispose of all potato stems and foliage by burial, freezing or composting.

• Cover open compost piles with a tarp until all plant material is frozen or dead.

• Grade and sort harvested potatoes and remove any that are infected.

• Dispose of culled potatoes by feeding to livestock or by chopping and burying.

Late blight also affects tomatoes, but it cannot be spread by tomato seeds. However, it can be introduced on tomato transplants if they come from areas where late blight survives winter.

Late blight cannot survive prairie winters, so re-infection doesn’t occur by planting in the same field or an adjacent field unless there are surviving tubers in the plot. However, rotating crops is recommended whenever possible, Spencer said. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

NEW CROPS | CORN

Corn moving westward on Prairies The case for corn | A young producer is pioneering the way for grain corn on the Prairies with a hybrid variety that works with the climate

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DUVAL, Sask. — Corn is moving closer to a permanent place in Saskatchewan crop rotations, if Brad Hanmer’s recent hybrid grain corn results are any clue.

The Duval producer recently harvested a 65 acre field of two Pioneer Hi-Bred corn varieties: P7443RR and P7213RR. The corn stood 2.5 metres tall, nestled between the community’s old wooden grain elevators and the blacktop of Highway 20.

Silage corn has been grown with success on the Prairies but grain corn has not seen the same popularity.

That may be why 70 curious farmers watched as a John Deere 9860STS

combine picked its way through the field eight rows at a time. The farmers ate barbecued hamburgers and took turns operating the corn header, which was a first for many.

Hanmer said the quality of the crop contributed to the strong turnout. Many farmers had watched it grow throughout the spring and summer as they drove the highway.

“We should be very close to hitting the 100 net bushels per acre goal,” said Hanmer.

“We are confident that we finally have genetics that may work in our area. Four and five years ago we were starting at the base line that was much steeper than we are today.

“Not only do we have the right maturities, but we also have very good dry down characteristics, which is equally as important if

you’re going to successfully grow this.”

Hanmer has been growing test plots of grain corn for six years.

Besides farming with his family, he is also an independent dealer with Pioneer Hi-Bred.

He said his family became serious about growing grain corn three years ago when they bought a corn planter.

“It’s like the chicken and the egg.

Without a corn planter you can’t grow successful corn, but until you have one you won’t,” he said.

Greg and Garret Hill are sold on growing hybrid corn. The brothers have been winter grazing their cattle on 450 acres of hybrid corn for three years. They leave it standing and access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

One of the key factors that made this year’s grain corn crop successful was how dry the average sample was. At 16.4 percent moisture it weighed in at 56 pounds per bushel. Hanmer says 58 lb. and above is ideal.

Assumptions: 2,300 corn heat units received by Sept 30, 2,300 CHU variety seeded. Producers in regions expecting fewer than 2,300 CHUs should seed an appropriate earlier maturing variety to match this planner. Delayed planting affects quality/yield risk and dictates switching to an earlier corn variety.

turn cattle into it in November.

They said the advantages are obvious.

“I don’t have to haul bales and start tractors,” said Greg.

Turning the cows loose in the 450 acres of standing corn reduces their feed requirements by 4,000 bales.

Last year, they achieved 185 cow days an acre off of the corn field and spent only 74 cents per day on the cows until mid-February.

“This year I’m sure will be quite similar,” he said. “So it’s cheap feeding, it’s easy at freeze-up time and cuts out 4,000 bales.”

Hill said the cows put nutrients back into the soil and eat the stalks down to the ground.

He said local grain producers are watching to see how the cobs produce and dry down.

“For the cow guy, it’s a very good

thing, and I believe it’s going to be a viable crop for the grain farmer as well,” he said.

“The hybrid technology is coming along so that I think it’s going to work here. It might not be there yet to make the perfect crop, but it’s definitely getting better.”

Hanmer has kept a close eye on the progress of grazing and silage crops in his neighbourhood. What he learned left him confident that the earliest maturing hybrids could also perform as well as grain in his area.

“The grazing and silage guys have been doing this quite successfully.

The message here is not only through genetics and fertility, but without the proper mechanization corn won’t work.”

Hanmer decided to give up on the smaller scale trials, which were not

doing the overall production justice.

“We basically attempted to do a much better job of managing corn as if it was a full corn field. I pretended I had 1,000 acres of corn,” he said.

“Up until that point we were just using it as a conceptual idea.”

He also recognized the value of the corn header in obtaining the maximum yield with the lowest possible moisture.

Unlike draper or platform headers, which cut off most of the crop and send it into the combine, the dedicated corn header reduces the amount of stalk being put through the grain processor.

The combine works faster and the resulting sample is much cleaner with significantly lower moisture.

“Having the right tools is absolutely essential,” he said.“It may sound really elementary to other parts of

Canada. Corn is a fairly novel thing in our area, especially for grain.”

Hanmer said economics will dictate how this is implemented.

“If we continue to get nine or 10 dollar wheat, corn’s going to need to be in the $7-$8 range to compete. Our production costs on that field were around $30 an acre more than a canola crop.”

Hanmer’s pioneering efforts are starting to pay off. Hill said he overheard several farmers at the field day talk about seeding corn acres next year. A few guys were still leery, but Hill said that’s normal.

“The motivation is we really want corn to work here,” Hanmer said.

“The day that we did it proved to the area that it’s a lot closer to mainstream than one would have thought.

I think that most people were very excited about it.”

EQUIPMENT | DITCHER

Ditcher digs, then flings but leaves field flat Separate components | Other rotary ditchers use a spinning flywheel, while the Wolverine uses a flat blade and fan

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

GLENLE A , Man. — Throwing heavy gumbo 100 to 200 feet from a new drainage ditch is a feat flatland farmers fantasize about.

Fantasy became reality at an October field day on the University of Manitoba’s Glenlea Research Farm when Dynamic Ditchers of Oak Bank, Man., demonstrated how its Wolverine rotary ditcher skims soil from depths of one to 10 inches and sends it airborne.

The Wolverine leaves none of the barrel hoop ditch profiles typically associated with rotary ditchers.

Prior to the Wolverine, rotary ditchers were designed to use the same spinning flywheel to capture the dirt and send it flying. The spinning rotor left a barrel hoop profile that needed to be smoothed out later.

Glenn Vaags of Wolverine, who conducted the demonstration, also said it is asking too much of one component to both dig and fling the dirt.

It’s inefficient and wastes a tremendous amount of horsepower and diesel, he added.

“The Wolverine uses a flat blade that’s five feet wide. It makes a flat cut just like a scraper,” says Vaags, a partner in the family owned business. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

They break up the soil and help keep the blade in the ground.”

Vaags said the three prongs scratch distinct parallel lines with each pass, which help the soil in the ditch dry out quicker. The tiny trenches collapse in the winter so the producer

can seed right through them.

“There’s no need to come back to the field with another implement to address those little trenches or to smooth out the sides of the berm,” he said.

The blade pushes soil up into the transversely mounted feeder reel.

Aggressive fingers and paddles break up the clumps and toss the dirt up into the spinning fan.

The feeder reel runs on a threeinch diameter shaft and is protected by a shear pin, which is a 3/8 inch, grade-five bolt. Vaags said it was a problem changing shear pins on rotary ditchers his family built before 2005, requiring big pry bars, hammers and a lot of time.

“It put guys in a real bad mood real quick,” said Vaags.

“We knew we had to address the shear pin problem if we expected this new machine to succeed. With the new system, the shear pin for the feeder can be changed in five minutes. We paid particular attention to this feature to make sure we got it right the first time.”

A No. 100 chain running in an oil bath within a sealed compartment on the right side of the machine drives the transverse feeder reel shaft. The shear pin is on the lower sprocket.

Two latches open the door. A lever located just a few inches from the door controls a hydraulic cylinder on the left side of the ditcher. The cylinder pulls a steel ratchet wheel that reverses the transverse shaft in tiny increments.

The operator taps the lever until the shear pin holes line up, pops in a new pin, closes the door and gets back to work.

The Wolverine has two gearboxes, each with a 2:1 gear reduction, that

change power direction 90 degrees.

The first runs the feeder reel and the second runs the five-foot diameter rotary fan. Both gearboxes are made in Manitoba.

The fan is protected by two shear pins located on the tractor side of the first gearbox. If a large rock sneaks past the feeder reel and gets into the impeller, the two pins will snap before the fan is damaged. These pins are out in the open and are easily changed.

The fan runs at 270 r.p.m. Gates over the exit ports allow the operator to throw soil left or right.

The ditcher rides on two tires, each controlled by its own independent hydraulic cylinder. Working together, the cylinders are used to raise or lower the machine, thus setting the depth of the cut.

When the cylinders are controlled separately, they raise or lower either the left or right side of the machine, thus setting the blade angle. The cylinders can be controlled manually by the operator or automatically by the RTK drainage software.

“As for power, you can get away with 190 to 200 (h.p.) as a bare minimum, but that’s only if you have a tractor that you can slow down to one m.p.h.

The Wolverine uses three knives to penetrate the surface, followed by a five foot wide flat blade to eliminate barrel gouging.

MACHINERY | TRAILERS

Side dump trailer wears many hats The Jet dump trailer hauls soil and manure on the farm and rocks or gravel on construction sites

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The No. 100 drive chain on the pickup reel runs in an oil bath. A lever aligns the shear pin holes on the lower pulley.

“We think 325 to 350 (h.p.) is optimal. You can put 600 h.p. to it and you won’t break the ditcher, but you’ll spend a lot of time replacing shear pins if you plan to sink her down and go two m.p.h. On lighter soils or on shallow cleanout passes, you can run up to five m.p.h.”

Vaags said farmers always ask about speed during field demonstrations.

Although it looks like its slow going, once he gets in the field with a farmer in the cab he says they are amazed at how quickly they cover a field.

“When dirt is flying through the air like that, it’s hard to visualize that we’re sometimes moving nearly 650 cubic yards per hour.”

While the total yardage may seem impressive, Vaags said it’s only part of the equation and can be misleading.

Spreading the soil over such a wide area eliminates the need to return to the field with finishing implements, thus saving time and money.

He also challenges the assumption that moving a high volume of soil is necessary for good drainage.

“That’s the way drainage engineers and farmers and operators used to think. The old mindset was, ‘how many yards can we load into that scraper.’ Today, the people designing drainage equipment and drainage software have a mindset that says, ‘what’s the very least amount of soil we need to move to get good drainage.’ The old style survey systems and the laser systems shoot a perfectly straight line running down your ditch. You have to move a lot of soil if you want a straight grade from the highest pothole to the edge of the field.”

He said this old mindset leads to scrapers that carry 48 cubic yards and tractors that need 600 h.p. to get the job done.

“The latest RTK systems, like Ditch Pro or the John Deere I-Grade, make a more gradual incline that follows the slope of your field and the contour of the Earth. What that comes down to is you don’t move as much soil.”

The Wolverine rotary ditcher is built in Manitoba and carries a list price of $52,000.

Vaags said that in the decade leading up to the total re-design in 2005, his father built 20 prototypes using the more conventional design with the rotor doing the digging and throwing.

“Those ditchers did the job in most soils, but they took so much power and they just couldn’t handle Red River Valley gumbo. That’s when he decided to start over from scratch with this totally new ditcher.”

FARGO, N.D. — The quest for a more efficient way to transport bulk agricultural products and byproducts often sends farmers to a construction equipment dealer.

The latest crossover from construction to agriculture is the side dump trailer.

There have been concerns over the years about this machine’s inherent instability, but the Jet Company of Iowa said it has solved the problem with its trunnion mounted inverted hydraulic cylinder design.

With previous designs, the six tires opposite the dumping side often bounced a foot or more off the ground, a significant safety issue when handling 25,000 pounds of loaded trailer on rough terrain.

“When we started building side dump trailers years ago, we had the same design as all the others out there,” said Jet manager Ben Nedved.

The conventional design attached the tops of the two hydraulic cylinders to the top of the tub and the bottom end wherever it was convenient on the frame.

Problem area The geometry between these two pivot points automatically makes the tub accelerate as it dumps. There’s a sudden stop when the tub hits the end of its stroke, and the trailer experiences a big bounce. The potential for accidents was great.

“We finally decided there had to be something safer. We had to come up with a complete new design that would keep the trailer level, with all the tires on the ground at all times,” he said.

“So, we’ve inverted the hydraulic cylinder and mounted one end very low, down within the frame. That allows the cylinder to push on a trun-

“The geometry between the two pivot points reduces tub acceleration. It dumps at a constant speed and there’s no sudden stop or violent bounce at the end of the stroke.”

The new trailer was a hit when Jet introduced it to the construction industry four years ago. Within a year, farmers saw the trailers at work and started buying.

“We find that when we sell one of these to a farmer, all of a sudden he finds all kinds of uses for it,” Nedved said.

“They’re cleaning corrals for neighbors, hauling chicken litter, doing road work. They don’t travel far from the farm for work. We have a lot of these trailers out in North Dakota where there’s lots of road construction and building dikes for flood control.”

Nedved said the tub is rounded steel, made of quarter inch AR400 that is hardened by quenching and tempering for high impact and abrasion resistance.

Unlike other side dumpers, the Jet tub has no centre divider to compliaccess=subscriber section=crops,none,none

The new trailer eliminates the stability problem by inverting the hydraulic cylinder and locating one pivot point down deep in the frame and the other on the horizontal trunnion at the bottom of the tub. cate loading. Corners within the tub are angled to improve load release.

The trailer dumps either left or right.

The 34-foot tub carries 21 cubic yards water-full and 31 cubic yards heaping, and is supported by tandem axles.

The 36-foot tub carries 22 cubic yards water-full and 33 cubic yards

heaping and is supported by tridem axles. The hydraulic cylinders are five inches in diameter. The system requires 25 to 30 gallons per minute with a pressure of 2,200 to 2,500 pounds per square inch.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS | CROPPING METHOD

Lower no-till yields distort gas emission score No-till versus conventional | Emissions comparable on area basis but on a yield basis, no till rated significantly higher

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Researchers may have determined that scientists should include emissions from the crops themselves when measuring greenhouse gas emissions from cropland.

Expressing emissions per unit of crop yield rather than on a more conventional per area basis produced starkly different results, says Rod Venterea, a research soil scientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and adjunct assistant professor with the University of Minnesota’s soil, water and climate department.

His team found that total nitrous oxide emissions were not greatly affected by tillage practices when calculated on an area basis.

However, emissions were significantly greater under no tillage compared to conventional tillage when they were calculated on a per unit yield of grain.

Nitrous oxide (N2O), a byproduct of many agricultural practices, is a potent greenhouse gas with an ability to trap heat in the atmosphere 300 times greater than that of carbon dioxide.

The findings, which were published in the Journal of Environmental Quality, are important because they have implications for how greenhouse gases generated by agriculture are reported, evaluated and potentially mitigated.

“On an area basis, the average N2O emissions with no-till were slightly greater than conventional tillage, by about 19 percent, but statistically speaking, the values were not different from each other,” said Venterea.

“On a yield basis, we actually calculated it three different ways: per unit of grain yield, per unit of grain nitrogen yield and per unit of total plant nitrogen yield. In all three cases, no-till did have greater emissions, by 52 percent, 66 percent, and 69 percent, respectively, and the differences were highly statistically significant.”

He said this is because researchers divide by the yields when calculating emissions on a yield basis.

Because the yields were smaller with no-till, after dividing by a smaller number you end up with a larger (final) number.

Venterea said his team also figured out why there are greater percentage emissions on no-till grain than grain grown on conventionally tilled land: • Fertilizer was placed on the surface of the soil, which in no-till management is where most of the microorganisms that convert fertilizer into N2O are located.

• The crop yields in the no-till treatment were lower.

“These two factors combined to produce the net result,” he said.

Venterea said nitrous oxide emissions and yield need to be looked at together. Other studies have shown that practices such as fertilizer management and tillage management affect nitrous oxide emissions, but few studies have reported the effects of these practices on crop performance at the same time.

often expressed with respect to the area of field, such as the amount of nitrous oxide emitted per acre. However, the study has shown that expressing greenhouse gas emissions per unit of yield is more meaningful.

Different sites studied Venterea’s studies were conducted in collaboration with the University of Minnesota.

“This has been a very productive collaboration because of the expertise and facilities that each of our organizations can offer,” he said.

“We’ve been able to utilize three different university agricultural research stations, each of which has different soil types and site-specific factors.”

The team measured the effects of tillage and nitrogen fertilizer management on nitrous oxide emissions, grain yields and crop nitrogen absorption over three consecutive growing seasons in Minnesota.

The experiment focused on three research plots used for corn and soybean production that had been maintained under either no-till or conventional tillage for 18 years.

When they calculated nitrous oxide emissions per unit yield of grain or grain nitrogen, they found that emissions under no tillage were 52 percent and 66 percent higher,

A research plot is tilled in a project that compared greenhouse gas emissions in various cropping methods. respectively, than with conventional tillage.

This meant that, for this cropping system and this specific climate, notillage practices resulted in substantially more nitrous oxide than conventional tillage for the same amount of grain. The effect was due to lower yields under the no till system.

Reduced yields under the no-till method in parts of the upper Midwest have been attributed to lower soil temperature in spring, which may slow plant development.

However, no-till can increase yields in other geographic regions.

Venterea said calculating greenhouse gas emissions on a yield basis in those regions could show benefits to no-till management that might not otherwise show up if emissions were calculated the conventional way.

“Yield-scaled emissions provide additional information for evaluating GHG impacts,” he said.

“For example, if we looked only at area-scaled nitrous oxide emissions in this study, then we might conclude that the no-till and conventional systems performed equally well.

“But based on the yield-scaled results, we can conclude that if the same amount of grain were produced using no till and conventional tillage, the no till system would emit about 50 percent more N2O compared with conventional tillage under the same fertilizer regime. The no-till system would also require additional land area in order to achieve the same production.

“In other cases, it is conceivable that a particular practice, tillage or some other practice, could at the

same time reduce N2O emissions and increase crop yields. In these cases, yield-scaled emissions data would be valuable because they would express the synergistic benefit of these two effects.”

The agricultural industry is a significant contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, a fact not to be taken lightly by producers.

“The U.S. Environmental Production Agency publishes a greenhouse g a s i nv e n t o r y e v e r y y e a r t h a t includes the agricultural sector, and within that sector, the various GHG sources,” Venterea said.

“Nitrous oxide emissions are a very large component of the total agricultural sector. Soil management accounts for approximately half of all GHG emissions that come from agriculture.”

GLOBAL WARMING | CLIMATE CHANGE

Higher temperatures shrink crop production Mitigating losses from changing climate | Short-cycled thinking, long-term planning for agriculture at odds CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. crop scientists are pondering an odd question: could the danger of global warming really be the heat?

For years, as scientists assembled data on climate change and pointed with concern at melting glaciers, crop watchers were most concerned about the impact on seasonal rain and irrigation.

What would breadbaskets such as the U.S. Midwest, the central Asian steppes, the north China plain and Argentine and Brazilian cropland be like without normal rain and water tables?

Those were seen as longer-term issues of climate change.

However, scientists now wonder if a more immediate issue is the unusual rise in summer temperatures that has been seen in crop belts around the world.

Interviews with crop researchers at American universities paint the same picture: high temperatures have already shrunk output of many crops and vegetables.

“We don’t grow tomatoes in the deep south in the summer. Pollination fails,” said Ken Boote, a crop scientist with the University of Florida.

The same goes for snap beans, which can no longer be grown in Florida during the summer, he added.

“As temperatures rise, we are going to have trouble maintaining the yields of crops that we already have,” said Gerald Nelson, an economist with the International Food Policy Research Institute, who is leading a global project to identify new crop varieties adapted to climate change.

“When I go around the world, people are much less skeptical, much more concerned about climate change,” said David Lobell, a Stanford University agricultural scientist.

Lobell was one of three authors of a much-discussed 2011 climate study of world corn, wheat, soybean and rice yields from 1980-2008, which concluded that heat, not rainfall, was affecting yields the most.

“The magnitude of recent temperature trends is larger than those for

Hotter temperatures in some southern areas have reduced production of key crops, such as tomatoes. In warmer weather, some crops have trouble pollinating, which can drastically reduce yields. | FILE PHOTO precipitation in most situations,” the study said.

“We took a pretty conservative approach and still found sizable impacts. They certainly are happening already and not just something that will or might happen in the future,” Lobell said.

Scientists at a recent annual meeting of U.S. agronomists in San Antonio said the focus was climate change.

“Its impact on agriculture systems, impacts on crops, mitigation strategies with soil management, a whole range of questions was being asked about climate change,” said Jerry Hatfield, laboratory director at the National Soil Tilth Laboratory in Ames, Iowa.

“The biggest thing is high nighttime temperatures have a negative impact on yield.”

He said heat affects evaporation and the life process of crops.

“One of the consequences of rising temperatures ... is to compress the life cycle of that plant. The other key consequence is that when the atmosphere gets warmer the atmospheric demand for water increases,” Hatfield said.

“These are simple things that can occur and have tremendous consequences on our ability to produce a stable supply of food or feed or fibre.”

Boote found that rice and sorghum plants failed to produce grain, something he calls “pollen viability,” when the average 24-hour temperature is 35 C, which equates to highs of 40 C during the day and 30 C at night, he said.

The global seed industry has set a high bar to boost crop yields by 2050 to feed a hungry world. Scientists said that the impact of heat on plant growth needs more focus and study.

“If you look at a lot of crop insurance claims, farmers say it is the lack

of water that caused the plant to die,” said Wolfram Schlenker, assistant professor at Columbia University.

“But I think it’s basically different sides of the same coin because the water requirement of the plant increases tremendously if it’s hot,” he said.

Nelson said the private sector understands the threats coming from climate change and has aimed significant research at drought tolerance.

“They focus less on higher temperatures, but that’s a tougher challenge.”

John Soper, vice-president in charge of global seed development with Pioneer Hi-Bred, said his company is responding with a number of initiatives.

“The primary one is focusing on drought tolerance.”

Pioneer launched a conventionally bred drought-tolerant corn hybrid seed in the western U.S. corn belt this

spring, selected for its yield advantage over other varieties.

“We have some early results in from Texas that show that is exactly how they are behaving. They currently have a six percent advantage over normal products in those drought zones,” Soper said.

Roy Steiner, deputy director for agricultural development for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said the foundation is focused on current agr icultural effects of climate change.

“It’s amazing that there are still people who think that it’s not changing. Everywhere we go we’re seeing greater variability, the rains are changing and the timing of the rains is creating a lot more vulnerability,” Steiner said.

“Agriculture is one of those things that needs long-term planning, and we are very short-cycled thinking.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | PARLIAMENT

Supply managed systems pulled into wheat board debate Conservative agenda questioned | Federal agriculture minister dismisses opposition remarks as scare tactics and false connections

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

An all-day parliamentary debate last week on an opposition motion to preserve the Canadian Wheat Board often morphed into a debate about supply management.

Niki Ashton, a New Democrat from Churchill, Man., triggered the all-day debate Oct. 25 with a motion that called on the government to drop legislation to end the CWB monopoly because “farmers have a democratic right to determine the future of their own supply management tools and marketing boards.”

The opposition motion came a day after the Conservative majority won a vote to approve in principle Bill

C-18 that will end the single desk Aug. 1, 2012. Ashton’s motion was defeated Oct. 26 by a vote of 150-126.

Ashton injected supply management into the debate by questioning whether it will be the next Conservative target.

“Does this government also have an agenda for supply management?” she asked.

“Even though today the government claims that it is not talking about abolishing it, it has been saying the same thing about the Canadian Wheat Board for months. It says it will listen to what farmers have to say.

Does the same go for farmers in Quebec and Ontario?”

She also said the Freshwater Fish Marketing Board is a single desk.

“If this (ending the single desk) is the government’s agenda on the wheat board, will it be the government’s agenda when it comes to freshwater fish?”

Opposition MPs from Quebec and Ontario returned to the theme during the debate that the wheat board decision is a stalking horse for future government action against other farmer marketing boards.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz called opposition remarks about Conservative designs on supply management a “contortion to make a false connection” and “desperate scare tactics.”

The CWB monopoly and the supply management monopoly are not comparable, he said.

“The two issues are further apart

than apples and oranges,” he said in the Commons. “It is actually apples and walnuts. There is no link.”

He said dairy, poultry and egg farmers strongly supported supply management boards when they were created and remain supportive.

Western grain farmers, on the other hand, want options.

Ritz also said supply management boards do not receive federal funds, “where the Canadian Wheat Board in the last years has taken $1.3 billion from the public purse to backstop some mistakes that it made.”

A government official later said that is the amount the federal government has had to spend to support pool deficits in the past 42 years.

“Since 1969, the federal govern-

ment has covered CWB losses of $1.3 billion, the most recent of which was in 2003 when the federal government had to backstop the board with more than $80 million of taxpayer money.”

And then there are differing rules for wheat farmers in different parts of the country.

“The Canadian Wheat Board is a regional monopoly,” Ritz said. “Supply management is national in scope.”

Liberal agriculture critic Frank Valeriote wasn’t buying the Conservative argument.

“We would be foolish and naïve to think that our supply managed industries, poultry, dairy and eggs, are not already now being lined up in the sights of the government for their demise,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FOOD PRODUCTION | CONSUMER TRENDS

Retailers shouldn’t cater to ‘fringe’ food attitudes Industry official says the majority of consumers focus on cost and taste

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada is positioned to be a key player in a 21st century world looking for safe and nutritious food for a growing population, says Maple Leaf Foods executive Stephen Graham.

“Who is the richest country in the world able to produce food and protein?” he asked during a recent animal industry conference in Ottawa. “(With rich arable land and abundant water,) it is Canada. We have remarkable gifts.”

However, he said these gifts cannot be taken for granted. The country has choices to make, Graham told the conference on how the livestock industry can help feed a hungry world.

“We have a strategic choice to make in Canada and we have to determine if we want to sell our land, our food or value-added food products,” he said.

“My vote is we need to do number three or number two but not number one. I think food has to be a strategic priority.”

Graham showed Maple Leaf advertisements to argue that value-added processed products, including meat,

are part of the solution to hunger.

“In a world in which fresh water and food will become the most important strategic resource, Canada has the opportunity and responsibility to help feed and lead,” he said.

Consumers’ choice Later, the president of U.S. operations for Elanco Animal Health argued that consumers who worry about how animals are raised or whether they are organic or injected with drugs should have a choice at the store, but they should not set the retailer agenda.

Rob Aukerman said Elanco changed its emphasis a decade ago from being a livestock input company to a food sector company.

Extensive research into American consumer attitudes over the past decade indicates that 95 percent of food buyers rate taste, cost and nutrition as their top concerns.

The “lifestyle buyers,” who are influenced by how the product was produced and if it is organic, are four percent of the market, he added.

One percent, “the fringe,” have

agendas about food ethics and bans against technologies they oppose.

Aukerman said the food retail industry should provide options for the five percent minority but not let their well-publicized preferences rule retailer choices.

“Our message to retailers is satisfy the four percent into organic or natural or whatever, but be careful not to exclude technology that is key to the industry,” he said, citing the use of antibiotics in poultry.

“We need to do a better job of telling our story to consumers,” he added, while cautioning meat industry representatives in the audience against pitting one food philosophy against another.

“It is so important that we don’t make this a good food-bad food issue,” said Aukerman. “It raises an alarm among consumers that needn’t be there.”

He said estimates are that organic produce will represent 1.4 percent of the market by 2014.

“Our message is to satisfy that segment but don’t take the choice away from the much larger percent with different priorities.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WORLD IN BRIEF GRAIN MARKETS

China buys Aussie wheat SINGAPORE (Reuters) — China has bought half a million tonnes of new-crop Australian wheat in recent deals, taking advantage of a decline in global grain prices as the nation struggles to meet demand from its thriving livestock industry.

In addition to buying U.S. corn in recent weeks, China’s purchase of 500,000 tonnes of low-grade Australian wheat, which is more than half of 963,657 tonnes it bought in the first nine months of this year, indicates Beijing’s move to stock up grains.

Analysts and traders expect China, the world’s second largest corn consumer and No. 1 wheat consumer, to buy larger volumes of grains to restock its depleted reserves.

TRADE

Japanese farmers fight possible trade pact TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) — Thousands of Japanese farmers marched through central Tokyo last week to push the government not to join a regional free trade pact that will likely hit the nation’s small farmers.

Expectation is growing that prime minister Yoshihiko Noda, who has said free trade deals are necessary for economic growth, will decide soon to take part in negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a U.S.-led Asia-Pacific trade deal.

Joining the free trade initiative would help Japan’s auto and high-

tech exporters compete in the global market but would deal a blow to its well-protected farming sector by opening the door to cheaper overseas farm products.

About 4,000 people rallied in Tokyo, holding signs saying “Protect Japan’s land and food” and wearing headbands with the words “Absolutely against TPP.” FISHERIES

Virus hits B.C. salmon SEATTLE, Wash. (Reuters) — U.S. senators from Alaska and Washington state have called for more investigation of a contagious and lethal fish virus recently detected for the first time in wild Pacific salmon, alarming marine scientists.

The infectious salmon anemia virus, previously limited to Atlantic salmon, including an outbreak that ravaged Chile’s farm-raised salmon industry in 2007 and 2008, was found in two out of 48 young sockeye salmon sampled from a British Columbia river inlet, researchers said.

Marine biologists from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver said the European strain of the virus they detected had previously been identified only in farm-raised Atlantic salmon.

They said the research suggested that the virus in Canada originated from imports of Atlantic salmon and eggs into the Pacific Northwest, though no direct link has been confirmed. Although highly deadly to salmon, the virus cannot infect humans, bears or other warmblooded animals that eat the fish. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Turkey producers reap benefits from improved feed efficiency

BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Better breeding and more efficient feed have helped turkey producers increase their productivity, despite rising feed costs.

Henry Classen, a professor from the University of Saskatchewan’s animal and poultry science department, credits genetic selection and better turkey nutrition for the production improvements.

“The sophistication of genetic selection has improved and as a consequence feed efficiency has changed very markedly (in the last 50 years),” he said.

Today, only turkeys with the best growth rates are used for commercial production.

He said turkey feed hasn’t changed much in 50 years. The difference is that the industry better understands how poultry digest different types of feed, he added.

Classen said researchers discovered that fibre in barley causes digestive upset in poultry, which makes it difficult for the birds to absorb nutrients.

Enzymes developed from microorganisms are now used as feed additives to break down barley fibre, he said, which makes it a more effective feed,.

Classen said turkey producers also know more about the correct feed proportions needed to achieve good access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

Understanding how poultry digests different types of feed and learning the correct rations of each have helped producers save money. | FILE PHOTO poultry growth. As a result, they are able to reduce operating costs.

Kevin Pulvermacher, a turkey producer from Bruno, Sask., whose family has been in the business for about 50 years, said today’s turkeys are onethird heavier than those produced in the 1970 because of genetic selection and feed conversion.

He said feed efficiency savings have been offset by higher heating costs to house turkeys indoors year round to meet the market demand for turkey meat.

Poults have also increased in price to $2.40 per bird from $1.20, which has affected the cost of production.

He said these factors, when combined with building costs, have maintained turkey production costs at 1970s levels.

There are 59 turkey production sites in Manitoba, 50 in Alberta and 14 in Saskatchewan.

Eight of Manitoba’s farms produce eggs for poult hatcheries. The others are involved in commercial meat production.

Jailed anti-CWB protestors reunite Sold grain to U.S. without permit | Long battle against the wheat board monopoly appears to be near an end

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The handcuffs came out at an Oct. 25 rally near Lethbridge, but this time no farmers were wearing them.

Saskatchewan MP David Anderson waved the cuffs to recognize the metaphorical loss of shackles that he said would occur with passage of a Conservative bill to turn the Canadian Wheat Board into a voluntary grain marketer.

His gesture was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the jailing of 13 Alberta farmers who illegally took grain across the Canada-U.S. border in 2002 to protest the CWB monopoly on wheat and non-feed barley sales.

“It’s an honour for me to be here today to stand with many of my heroes,” said Anderson, a long-time opponent of the monopoly who is also parliamentary secretary for the CWB. Twelve of the 13 jailed farmers attended the rally near Lethbridge at the farm of Ike Lanier, one of those who participated in the 2002 protest by hauling 300 bushels of wheat across the border.

“We are here to honour the 13 that went to jail, and there are so many others in Saskatchewan and Manitoba as well, the farm organizations, who have fought, fought hard,” said Anderson.

He noted that Bill C-18 had passed second reading Oct. 24.

“That legislation will finally give you, western Canadian farmers, the same rights that are enjoyed by farmers across the rest of this country and around the world. That is the right to sell your own wheat and barley.”

His remarks were greeted with applause from a friendly crowd.

for a good cause, for the cause of freedom, to restore justice.”

Chatenay was sentenced to 62 days in jail for taking one bu. of wheat to the U.S. He served 58 days, some of them working on the prison farm, before getting out on good behaviour.

Chatenay said he would consider using the board once it becomes voluntary.

“Of course. I’m a businessman. If things are right, why not? I think

competition is what built this great country. I think monopolies are dangerous because you’ve got total control.”

Jim Ness, who drove 100 pounds of barley across the border in 2002 and was sentenced to 25 days, had similar feelings.

“I might be the first one they sign up,” he said.

But Darren Winczura, who was one of the youngest to participate in the 2002 border run, isn’t so sure about using a voluntary wheat board. He and his brother farm 3,300 acres near Viking.

“You know what, being I’m so stubborn, probably not, because I dislike them so much. But, in the next sentence, if their price was as good or better, I probably would.”

Winczura was sentenced to 24 days in jail for taking one bag of wheat over the border. He served a day and then paid a fine to get released. He said he would do the same thing again because the issue that drove him still exists today.

“I got digging into pricing here and pricing down in the States. Same thing today, we just phoned and it’s a huge discount that we’re actually taking here.

“As an example, 13.5 percent wheat in Shelby (Montana) is $8.70 a bu., and the fixed price as of today (Oct. 25) for the wheat board is $6.58 a bu., so there you go.”

Rick Strankman of Altario said the border run of 2002 was an act of civil disobedience that is unfamiliar to most Canadians, but it was a gesture

he doesn’t regret.

“I don’t know if I would want to go to jail (again), but I would like to believe I would be pleased and proud to stand up with any of those 13 guys I went to jail with to effect our rights,” he said.

Strankman served one week of a 180-day sentence in 2002 for selling 756 bu. of wheat in the U.S. Wheat board legislation now goes to a legislative committee. Members were to be announced last week.

Anderson said the committee would be allowed to call witnesses but they would be of a technical nature.

Opposition parties have vowed to fight the legislation and said Conservative MPs who are farmers would have a conflict of interest if chosen to serve on the committee.

Anderson, one of at least seven MPs who are western Canadian farmers, was dismissive of that argument.

“It’s kind of interesting that the opposition has spent a couple of weeks telling us that there’s absolutely no benefit to this bill at all in Western Canada, and now all of a sudden they seem to think that seven of us are going to get some great huge benefit from it. That’s all I’ll say on that.”

SOCIAL MEDIA | CONSUMER CONNECTION

Tech-savvy farmers educate, promote Address consumer concerns | Farmers use social media to quell misconceptions KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) — October is a busy month for Kansas farmer Darin Grimm.

With 2,000 acres of corn and soybeans to harvest, the third-generation family farmer is running a combine nearly dawn to dusk.

But he still makes time to tweet.

Whether it’s touting the benefits of a new fertilizer, sharing photos of a newborn calf, debating genetically modified crops or discussing modern-day hog farming, a growing legion of farmers and ranchers like Grimm are increasingly turning to Facebook, Twitter and blogs to try to connect with consumers, educators and others about agriculture.

“We all eat,” said Grimm, who helps run the 18-month-old AgChat Foundation, which teaches farmers how to use online social media to tell their stories to a sometimes skeptical public.

“Food is important to everybody, but very few people produce that food,” he said.

“We farmers need to connect with consumers ... whether it’s a mom in New York or a teacher in Chicago.”

Calling themselves agvocates, these tech-savvy farmers and their supporters are hoping their efforts counter images of animal abuse, environmental damage and health problems that have become associated with industrial agricultural practices.

“There are lots of perceptions about what I do. I would like to have a voice in that perception,” said Mike Haley, who keeps his Twitter followers up to date as he plants soft red winter wheat on his Ohio farm.

Agribusiness is also taking up the fight for the hearts and minds of farmers on the web.

A new organization backed by some of the most powerful corporate names in agriculture hopes to swing public opinion with a mix of social media and conventional marketing methods.

The U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance (USFRA), which boasts Monsanto and DuPont as members, has a multi-year agenda.

The aim is to address consumer attitudes and opinions about food production by farmers, ranchers and their suppliers.

“We’ve sensed some concerns ...

about what is going on about food safety and food quality,” said communications director Ken Colombini.

DuPont, which has contributed $500,000 to the effort, said the need for such a dialogue was glaringly obvious.

“There is a growing disconnect,” said Bill Even, DuPont senior manager of biotech and regulatory affairs.

“People have lost touch with modern agriculture. This isn’t an event. It is more of a process, more of a movement.”

With more than 50 national, regional and state agriculture groups as members and a projected budget of more than $11 million, USFRA has hired a veteran marketing expert as general manager and begun national advertising and marketing efforts.

Last month the group debuted an online Food Dialogues town hallstyle discussion and website project.

It has also targeted bloggers and others who are seen as influential voices.

A recent sampling of some of the queries posted to a USFRA Food Dialogue website covered a gamut of issues, from a request that USFRA members disclose the amount of government subsidies they receive to complaints about “factory farms.”

Posts relayed concerns about nitrogen fertilizer run-off affecting the Gulf Coast and waterways, worries about antibiotics and hormones given to livestock, a question about funny-looking carrot sticks and a query seeking the “best method to build a grain drill.”

The organization acknowledges the animosity obvious in many of the postings about farming.

“When did agriculture become a dirty word?” it asks on its website.

For some critics, agriculture is not the problem, but the practices of certain players are.

Particularly rankling is the fact that some of the key players in USFRA are opposed to food labelling proposals yet are saying they want to communicate more openly with consumers.

“They want to tell consumers how their food is produced. Well, let’s really tell consumers how their food is produced,” said National Organic Coalition director Liana Hoodes.

“It’s great to have a dialogue.… We hope it will be an honest dialogue.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

NEWS TREES | DISEASE

Take action if tree shows leaf disease Common on poplars, aspens | Pruning infected areas can keep the disease from spreading

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Plenty of leaves are falling from trees these days, but those that stay on poplars and aspens might be signs of disease.

Bronze leaf disease was found in about 2005 in Manitoba and is slowly access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Red leaves with green veins may be a sign of bronze leaf disease. |

making its way westward. It affects aspen and poplar hybrids and can kill trees within three to five years if left unchecked.

Robert Spencer, a commercial horticulture specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said symptoms of the disease are much easier to spot in summer and fall.

It is characterized by a sudden change in colour of a branch or part of a branch. As the disease name suggests, infected parts of the tree turn a reddish bronze colour.

Leaf veins and the tissues around the veins will remain green, as will the leaf stem, but the rest of the leaf colour will change, he said.

“The tricky part is, with some of these hybrids, the new growth can be quite red, and also a stress response can be a red colour. But the green veins are a fairly distinctive symptom,” Spencer said.

Infected leaves will often remain on the tree over the winter, possibly because the disease interferes with normal dormancy that induces leaf drop.

Pruning infected areas is the only known way to manage the disease. As well, monocultures of aspen or poplar should be avoided.

“That can cut down on the potential rate of spread, and anything we can do to keep the plants healthy and in good growing conditions will contribute to their health.”

The disease has been found in most major urban prairie centres, said Spencer. There is concern about potential spread to native stands of trembling aspen, although the risk level is unknown.

However, risk of disease shouldn’t discourage people from planting aspens and poplars.

Spencer said trees get sick all the time. It’s a matter of being observant and prepared to take action if problems arise.

“People often just plant them and ignore them. They take them for granted. Pay attention if something abnormal happens,” he advised.

“If you were thinking of planting a single species, maybe reconsider that, or look at alternatives or spread things out.”

CATTLE PRODUCTION | HERD INVENTORY

Cattle prices fail to entice producer expansion Near record levels | Canada’s heifer retention numbers rise 8.2 percent in the West, drop 2.4 percent in the East

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

COCHRANE, Alta. — Seasonal records and all time high prices should be enough to encourage North American cattle producers to expand, but it’s not happening.

Western Canada appears to be turning the corner faster by keeping more heifers at home, but the eastern herd is shrinking, even though market signals are favourable, says Brian Perillat, a senior market analyst with Canfax.

Replacement heifer retention increased by 8.2 percent in the West but fell 2.4 percent in the East.

“It is still a low number of retention and it is not enough to offset our culling of our cows,” Perillat told an Alberta Beef Producers zone meeting Oct. 25 in Cochrane.

He expects the 2012 calf crop to be smaller than this year.

Cow prices are approaching record levels at $80.50 per hundredweight. They have averaged $71.27 during the year compared to $69.29 in 2001, the last period of comparable profitability.

Finished cattle were worth $121 per cwt. in 2001 but this year have stayed around $115 per cwt., although a seasonal record of $120 was briefly reached earlier this year.

As well, fat prices in the United States achieved record levels, reaching $125 per cwt. in August.

Currency issues However, Perillat said market volatility is the name of the game. Prices change daily and marketing decisions are hard to make.

Calf prices change by three cents per pound for every one cent change in the loonie.

There is money to be made in the beef business, but the U.S. cattle inventory remains in a downward trajectory of one percent per year.

Cow slaughter is up four percent because of drought in Oklahoma and Texas, and the most recent U.S. cattle-on-feed report saw placements up over the five year average for this time of year. Heifer replacement remains below average as well. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

These cows owned by the Froshaug family of Minton, Sask., enjoyed a stop at a dugout Oct. 14 while they were being trailed from their summer pasture in the Big Beaver Grazing Co-op to their home about 10 kilometres away. | CARLA FROSHAUG PHOTO The situation will increase beef supplies in the first quarter of 2012, but that is pulling lighter cattle forward and fewer are being born to replace them next year. The beef supply will continue to fall even as exports remain strong.

A weaker dollar helped the United States become a net exporter of beef rather than a net importer in the first half of the year.

The Canadian beef supply is expected to be down 18 percent. The

country is expected to accept more U.S. beef, mostly in the East.

Canada is also stepping up its exports, with the U.S. remaining the main market. However, more beef is also going to Japan, Hong Kong and Russia.

“We are still making progress in export markets,” Perillat said. “Even though our beef supply is lower, we are actually exporting more to the non-NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) countries.”

tus of cattle price insurance. The Canadian Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association has advocated a national program after Alberta introduced its own a couple of years ago.

Outgoing chair and District 1 director Jack Hextall said there is support for the idea, but it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moved forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The province hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really tipped their hand on where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at,â&#x20AC;? he told the meeting.

Ryder Lee, CCA director of federalprovincial relations, said there has been a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;tire kickingâ&#x20AC;? surrounding a national program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Agriculture) minister (Gerry) Ritz is very strong on insurance,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Governments are also looking at how much they spend on ad hoc programming to deal with droughts and floods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you had an insurance program ahead of that, maybe that would address a lot of that fallout,â&#x20AC;? Lee said.

A question that arose from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excess moisture program was whether feedlots could access more than $250,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The short answer is no,â&#x20AC;? Hextall replied.

The money available to intensive livestock operations to replace pens and infrastructure was capped at that amount, and he said requests to increase or remove the cap have been denied.

Under the provincial disaster assistance program, businesses with maximum gross revenues of $2 million are eligible for assistance in rural municipalities that have been designated as disaster areas.

Hextall said the SCA has asked for parity but has been refused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a risk of quite a large feed-

ing capacity in Saskatchewan not being there,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Producers in District 1 were among those hardest hit by a spring storm that dumped heavy snow and killed hundreds of calves.

A producer said he was grateful for the $400 per head payment available through the disaster program, but the storm could have bankrupted him and the $400 should be reviewed.

Hextall agreed prices should be continually reviewed, particularly because there are still no clear triggers for AgriRecovery payments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need their butts kissed too damn much, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our money, not theirs,â&#x20AC;? said another producer.

Traceability is also an ongoing topic of concern. Hextall said the entire country has premise identification except for Saskatchewan, and there are questions about what that means for producers.

Tracking animal movement is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a long way away,â&#x20AC;? added Lee. Meetings in all 11 SCA districts were scheduled to wrap up Oct. 31.

Results of elections in districts 1 and 3A were to be announced after the ballots were counted Nov. 1.

Michael Spratt was acclaimed in District 8.

CARLYLE, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jack Hextall presided over his last Saskatchewan Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association district meeting last week.

The Grenfell rancher was involved from the start in forming the organization that now handles provincial check-off revenue and represents the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beef producers at the Canadian Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association.

He served as SCA chair and director for Division 1.

Hextall said it was time for others to take over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for things to evolve in the organization,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview at the meeting where about 50 producers voted for his replacement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are other up and coming good young people that need to be involved.â&#x20AC;?

Ryan Beierbach of Whitewood and Kevin Woods of Moosomin ran for the director position. Results of the vote were to be announced after bal-

lots were counted Nov. 1.

Hextall said he and his family had been through several hectic years while the SCA was conceived and established.

There initially was controversy as those pushing for a development commission to represent all the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producers who pay checkoffs were opposed by others, particularly at the Saskatchewan Stock Growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association, a membership-based group.

However, the idea of a provincewide voice for beef producers held sway and the SCA was established in 2009. It took over administration of the checkoff last year.

Hextall said forming the organization took a lot of time and energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great experience,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have missed it for the world.â&#x20AC;?

VACCINATIONS | PROPER HANDLING

Ensuring vaccine effectiveness ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

Modern vaccines are fragile and administered in all types of weather.

F

armers and their veterinarians make a lot of effort to select their yearly vaccination protocol.

The vaccines cost money, and effort is required to administer them.

As a result, producers must maximize the immune response to receive the best protection for livestock.

This is good from both biosecurity and economic standpoints.

Diseases such as scours, pneumonia and abortions all affect the bottom line.

Preplanning and adhering to a few principles can assure that producers receive maximum benefit from the vaccination program.

Gone are the days when farmers administered only the blackleg vaccine. This was a tough vaccine, and efficacy and immunity levels were high. It was hard to muck it up unless the vaccine had expired or been exposed to the elements.

However, producers now administer multiple vaccines, some of which are fragile and given in all types of weather. Extra care must be taken.

Producers should decide which diseases they are most concerned about and determine which vaccines provide protection with the fewest number of shots.

Multiple shots increase the chances of mistakes.

Producers should take precautionary steps when administering multiple vaccines to minimize chances of errors.

They should put the vaccines in a cooler or Styrofoam box to prevent overheating in summer and freezing in winter. Use ice packs in summer and warm water bottles in winter.

Depending on how hot or cold it is, even the syringe loaded with vaccine may have to be protected. Vaccines should ideally be five to 15 C before administration. They are going into animals with a 38 to 39 C temperature, so warmer is better than cooler.

Vaccines that freeze or crystallize lose their value and must be discarded.

Storing vaccine in an insulated container also keeps the vaccine out of sunlight, which is also a good thing.

If more than one person is vaccinating, split the shots over both sides of the neck. Give subcutaneously whenever possible. It is imperative that the automatic guns aren’t mixed up during processing. Most vaccines are now a two cc dose, which means guns are often refilled at the same time and mix-ups can occur.

Let’s say a producer administers a blackleg vaccine, which often has formalin in the bacterin, and then refills the gun with a four-way modified live vaccine. Even a tiny amount access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

of blackleg vaccine left in the gun would inactivate the viral vaccine.

The next full syringe of 25 doses would be useless.

To avoid this, I note the colour of the vaccine and mark the syringe with the vaccine name. I keep the refill bottles together with the vaccine gun and make a definite separation on the table or shelf if two or more shots are given on the same side.

There also needs to be separation at the site of injection. I recommend at least a 10 centimetre distance between injection sites, and the farther the better.

Administering the vaccines in distinct locations, such as one high on the neck and the other low, will also help producers monitor for vaccine reactions. The secondary site is behind the shoulder or elbow.

Sometimes there is lots of backflow of vaccine or the syringe goes in and out and squirts vaccine in the air.

Revaccinate right away if in doubt.

Monitor vaccine use to make sure the gun is dispensing the right amount. Also, ensure that air is out of the syringe and always change bent, burred, dull or dirty needles every 10 or so animals.

Vaccine reactions, such as lumps and swellings, are normal. What we want to avoid are infected sites or administering the vaccine intradermal or intramuscular if it is recommended subcutaneously. Many vaccines can be administered either subcutaneously or intramuscular.

Use only warm water when cleaning syringes. Don’t use soap or disinfectant unless the syringes are thoroughly washed and dried afterward.

When using modified live vaccines, mix only the amount you are going to use in the next hour and discard unused product at the end of the day.

Killed vaccines and bacterins can be kept for one week and used up later.

It’s important to know how the vaccine was stored before purchase and

ANIMAL ABUSE | RESCUE

Rescued horse’s ‘kind eyes’ led to adoption New home | A hole in Pearl’s nasal cavity didn’t deter adopters

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Dr. Tawnya Copland peered into a golf-ball-sized hole in the front of Pearl’s head.

The veterinarian had been invited

by Pearl’s new owners to help them figure out how to care for the rescued horse once winter arrives.

The hole wasn’t a problem last year because Pearl spent the winter in a heated barn.

However, that option isn’t available this winter and the horse’s new owners, Shelby Gross and her mother, Candy Richardson, worry that cold winter air might cause more damage to the horse’s lungs and nasal passages.

During her visit, Copland talked with Gross and Richardson about Pearl wearing a balaclava or tight equine slinky to reduce the cold and keep out dust and hay.

“I don’t want her burying her head and filling that up,” Copland said about the hole.

A good snort helps Pearl keeps her nose clear of dust and debris, but Copland, Gross and Richardson wonder if a tight slinky would get moist and soggy like a child’s scarf in winter. Would the face covering just

be a medium for infection?

“She may become a barn horse,” said Copland.

Pearl was part of two groups of starving horses from Carrot Creek, Alta., that ended up at Susan Fyfe’s Keno Hills Stables outside Edmonton, home of the Rescue 100 Horse Foundation.

Pearl was a pregnant, stinking mess when she arrived in 2009. Her head was covered in frozen pus.

“She smelled so foul, you could hardly stand by her stall,” said Fyfe, who drove to Camrose to see Pearl and her new home.

Staff and volunteers put Pearl on antibiotics, cleaned the hole in her head and raised $2,500 for reconstructive surgery to cover the hole.

A layer of bone lining and skin was flipped down and sown over the hole, but it blew off a few days later during a bandage change when Pearl snorted. Her caregivers decided not to try another surgery.

“She’s happy,” said Fyfe.

Pearl is one of 301 horses to pass through Rescue 100 since a group of 100 starving Arabians were rescued from a northern Alberta farm in 2008.

A hole straight into her nasal cavity may have made Pearl the biggest challenge to rehabilitate and place.

It was a chance conversation in a Camrose western wear store where Gross works that brought the two together. Gross looked for more information on the Rescue 100 Foundation’s website after hearing about Pearl.

What she noticed most wasn’t the hole in Pearl’s head, but the kindness in her eyes.

“There was something about her.

The first thing that came out at me was her kind, kind eyes,” said Gross as Pearl nuzzled up to her.

“She’s really sweet. She’s got potential to do something good.”

The closeness between horse and owner was evident from the first time Pearl arrived at her new home Sept.

20, said Richardson.

“She’s been like this with Shelby from the get go,” she said.

“As long as she’s with Shelby, she’s so relaxed.”

It’s not the first stray animal that has found shelter on the Camrose farm.

All 21 cats and kittens, two of the three dogs and eight of the 12 horses have been rescued.

“They’re just as good,” said Gross, who has spent hours brushing Pearl and gaining her trust.

“We take it step by step because she’s not going anywhere.”

RANCH LIFE | APPRECIATION

The things you can’t have when you have kids and cattle COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

we can’t have nice things,” “I guess is a saying most of us have heard

from a deflated mother at some point in the rearing of inadvertently destructive little people.

Or an exasperated, “I have nothing nice left anymore,” when one of her little angels has smashed the last of the nice dishes or knocked some

other fragile heirloom off the wall.

A friend of mine told the story on FaceBook of a Wii bowling game gone bad that ended up with a big, new, broken flat screen television.

Can’t have nothing nice.

Others chimed in with stories of Wii remotes flying through the air, intersecting with a ceiling fan and being hurled just inches past a china hutch.

Another mother’s month-old flat screen was pulverized by a flying Lincoln Log. For some reason, only boys were mentioned as the perpetrators in the heinous destruction.

Maybe that’s why we don’t have a flat screen TV. Or a Wii. Just doesn’t pay to have some of those high tech and fragile things in a house with three kids under the age of eight, and two of them being boys, the afore-

mentioned usually guilty parties. It’s the same reason my wife passes on the cute breakable glass knickknacks when she sees them in a store.

It’s nice to see that “distressed” furniture is becoming popular. We have a table that came with the “distressed” look — dimples, dots and scratches highlighted with a dark finish. It was nice it started that way, but every piece of furniture in this house gets that distressed look after a week or two.

I’ve used the same demoralized words of the Wii weary mother with our cattle the last couple of weeks.

We’ve been hauling the hay in and stacking the bales nicely in straight, even rows. The bales were tied tight and looking good.

Then the cows, who have plenty of

grass and no reason to want anything more, broke out of one pasture and stood in the corner of the one next to the hay pen until some fence crawler got the gate knocked down and they all camped out in my hay pen for a day while I was gone from the ranch.

They ripped into my beautiful green second cutting alfalfa and tore twine from my nicely tied bales all the way up and down those nice rows.

“I guess we can’t have anything nice,” I muttered, and yelled a couple of other observations at the cows as I chased them out of the hay pen.

A few days later, I was moving bulls and it went like it often does if you’re moving more than one bull anywhere. One bull is a walking bull; two bulls are fighting, bellering, fence

wrecking bulls.

Sure enough, when I was moving a half dozen of them to another pasture, two got to fighting and — crash, crunch — they demolished one of my better barbed wire gates.

“I have nothing nice left,” I concluded as the horse and I broke up the bull fight and got them straightened out.

But even amid all the destruction, I like our cattle and love our children.

It wouldn’t be much of a ranch without cattle, and it’d be a much duller home without the children.

We may not have nice things, but we do have a nice life.

SHEEP | COST MANAGEMENT

Adjust lambing to feed supply Grass cheaper than silage | Ewes that lamb in June are less expensive to feed and care for

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

LEDUC, Alta. — Taking a closer look at lambing dates may be one way to reduce high feed costs, says a livestock nutrition specialist.

“The lambing date sets everything,” Woody Lane told sheep producers at an Alberta Sheep Breeders Association symposium.

Ewes’ nutritional requirements are highest in late gestation and early lactation.

As a result, feed costs will be at a premium for producers who lamb in January or February because they are feeding ewes expensive baled hay or silage at a time of year when the animals need more feed.

Feed costs will be lower if producers lamb in June because ewes will be able to eat less expensive grass.

“When we choose a flock’s lambing date, we automatically fix all its nutritional periods and therefore most of the costs of the sheep operation,” Lane said.

“Once it’s set, it’s absolutely critical what it implies.”

Many North American producers lamb during the winter so they can market their lambs in the spring when prices are high.

Besides higher feed costs, winter lambing also requires a lambing barn and plenty of labour and is often accompanied by pneumonia and scours.

“Do the prices received justify the higher costs?” Lane said.

Winter lambing may work for purebred breeders, but Lane believes

commercial operators need to take a closer look at the higher costs and see if there is a financial benefit.

Spring lambing allows producers to feed ewes a maintenance diet during the winter.

A ewe’s year is divided into a 15week maintenance stage, 21-week gestation stage and a 16-week lactation stage.

A ewe in maintenance is a dry ewe that is neither pregnant or lactating and has low nutritional requirements.

Early stage gestation and late stage lactation also have lower nutritional requirements.

Lane said producers can also save money by reconsidering their traditional weaning time.

Early weaning switches an ewe from lactation with a higher feed requirement to maintenance with lower feed requirements.

He said lambs become ruminants at four to five weeks and can easily be weaned at eight to nine weeks instead of the traditional 17.

This allows producers to put ewes on poor pasture and save the good pasture for growing lambs.

“By having ewes and lambs in separate areas, (operators) can make the pastures more effective,” he said.

The ewes can be moved into fields that need severe mowing, while lambs can be kept in fields with high quality feed.

Separating ewes and lambs also saves money on parasite control because the ewes, which are better able to handle parasites, no longer have to be wormed.

BUHLER INDUSTRIES | FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Buhler has eye on ‘for sale’ ads Opportunities during economic crisis | Company uses profits to buy or invest in equipment firms

soon after Russian manufacturer Rostselmash bought majority control of the company in 2007.

Instead of sending money to shareholders, it kept the money inside the company, something many companies did during the world financial crisis and slump of 2008.

It has not reinstituted the dividend and instead has spent the money on expanding the company and its offerings, using its internal financial health as leverage against other companies’ troubles.

“We took that as an opportunity to basically finance some of the purchases that we have done,” said Adolph.

“We have always been a profitable company (since becoming a publicly traded company) and that’s one of the things we can pride ourselves on.”

The new tractor, which was forced

by U.S. pollution emission control standards, cost “many millions of dollars,” Adolph said.

However, the company’s financial health allowed it to go beyond redesigning the engine to also radically improving the cab, alleviating a leading criticism of Versatile tractors.

“A tractor like this is a huge investment and we have spent a lot of money on development, on tooling, and it’s going to take some years to pay that back, but that’s what we’ve done,” said Adolph.

Buhler Industries is profitable this year, a common situation among farm machinery manufacturers. It had revenue of almost $200 million in the nine months ending June 30, 2011, compared to $152.4 million in same period the previous year.

However, president Dmitry Lyubimov said it hasn’t been an easy period to manage.

Manufacturing is a long process, and matching production runs to future demand has been difficult.

“We receive parts from all over the world … but it’s never perfect,” he said in an interview.

“You either have too much product, such as two years ago, and not enough demand, or like this year: too much demand and not enough product. It’s never perfect.”

However, Buhler believes stable earnings and profits can keep it growing in an era of tight finance and high commodity prices.

The former creates acquisition opportunities and the latter produces growing demand for farm machinery.

Adolph said his company now spends proportionately more on research and development than Agco or Case New Holland and about the same as Deere and Company, based on sales revenues.

“That shows a fair commitment to the future,” said Adolph, promising new sprayers, tillage equipment and air seeders for row crop farmers.

strong demand and better pricing.

Net equipment sales for the quarter were 77 percent from agricultural equipment and 23 percent from construction equipment.

Global tractor sales grew 12 percent while global combine sales grew 16 percent for the quarter. The growth occurred outside of North America.

Year to date capital expenditures

totalled $218 million, up 42 percent, largely as a result of new product launches in agricultural and construction equipment.

Rival Agco also posted a strong third quarter and raised its full-year outlook. Agco net sales rose to $2.1 billion in the quarter, an increase of 27 percent. Net income was $84.4 million, up 35 percent.

BROKERAGE BANKRUPT

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

In crisis is opportunity, and opportunities from the ongoing world financial crisis are beginning to bear fruit for Buhler Industries.

The company has been gobbling up smaller farm equipment manufacturers, investing in the next generation of heavy machinery and expanding its shadow over a wider range of products.

“There are opportunities,” chief operating officer Grant Adolph said in an interview during the unveiling of the company’s new Versatile fourwheel drive, Tier 4 tractor.

“If there is a crisis, there are companies that get in trouble, so we have been very smart (in buying quality companies that are for sale).”

The company hasn’t used debt or equity issues to buy companies such as Ezee-On Manufacturing or invest in developing a new 550 horsepower, low emissions tractor. Instead, it used cash from profits.

That was made easier by the company’s choice to suspend its dividend

Demand strengthens, prices rise for potash

Profits return

Tight market conditions | Global potash shipments expected to reach 57 million tonnes in 2011 TORONTO (Reuters) — Potash Corp’s quarterly profit has more than doubled as strong grain prices boosted demand for its crop nutrient products.

Despite global economic uncertainty during the quarter, world farmers were eager to capitalize on strong crop prices and bought fertilizer, the company said.

The Saskatoon-based company said net income was $826 million, up from $343 million a year earlier.

Revenue rose 47 percent to $2.32 billion on the back of strong demand and higher prices across its potash, phosphate and nitrogen businesses, the company said.

Potash Corp said that fertilizer

dealers acted prudently to minimize their risks and inventories, but robust demand continued to pressure global potash supplies.

“We believe most producers have been operating at or near their full capabilities in an attempt to keep pace,” the company said.

Potash Corp also tried to allay investor concerns about the pullback and heightened volatility in grain prices, arguing that tight grain stocks will continue to support high crop prices in the near-term.

The Chicago futures price for corn, a fertilizer-intensive crop, has retreated from its June peak, but remains about 12 percent higher than a year ago, giving farmers more

incentive to apply crop nutrients in preparation for an expected increase in 2012 corn acres.

The company expects global potash shipments to be 57 million tonnes in 2011, with shipments of 58 to 60 million tonnes in 2012. It had earlier forecast 2011 potash shipments of 55 to 60 million tonnes.

It trimmed its 2011 gross profit target from its potash business because of slightly lower than projected shipments.

However, the company raised its gross profit expectations from its phosphate and nitrogen businesses by an equivalent amount, offsetting the slight disappointment on the potash side. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Maple Leaf Foods has returned to profit in the third quarter on strong results from its protein group.

The Canadian meat packer and baker, which is closing older meat plants while modernizing others as part of a multi-year plan to boost earnings, is up against rising raw meat costs and a strong Canadian dollar.

Maple Leaf is managing pressures in part by raising prices and cutting costs, said president Michael McCain.

The company said third quarter net earnings were $43 million, compared to a loss of $19.9 million in the same quarter of 2010.

The strong Canadian dollar has made it harder for Maple Leaf to compete against U.S. rivals, leading it to cut costs and modernize meat-packing operations. Sales slipped two percent to $1.26 billion for the quarter.

Videos: seeing is believing, which leads to learning, buying THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

H

ere’s a little marketing test: consider the story of Ontario farmer Jason Persall and his YouTube channel and see if it makes sense to you.

It’s been a decade since the soybean and grain producer started his line of cold-pressed soy and canola oil sold under the Pristine Gourmet brand.

Creating Pristine Gourmet oil demanded a major investment, but Persall was thrifty, buying used cold presses so he could do his own product development and converting an existing equipment shed into his 1,000-litre-a-week plant.

Cold-pressed artisan oil is prized for its rich flavour and colour, and Persall charges $8 for a 250 millilitre bottle.

However, he’s also invested heavily in equipment, first-class label design, a website and small ads in glossy lifestyle magazines.

Three years ago, he decided to devote most of his marketing budget toward the Gourmet Farmer, his own YouTube channel. His videos aren’t home camcorder productions. They’re shot in high definition in outdoor locations, crisply edited with immaculate sound and cost thousands of dollars, although Persall gets a deal from a friend who’s a professional documentary maker.

The videos have had thousands of views, and YouTube offers detailed analytics, such as age, gender and home country of viewers. As a result, Persall knows most of his viewers last December and January were from Australia.

“It’s very cool but of course, that doesn’t help the cause any because obviously they’re not buying our product,” Persall concedes with a laugh. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

Oh, and one more thing. The Gourmet Farmer is about food, farming and recipes. The standard video features Persall chatting with a chef as she prepares a dish in the farmyard.

Sure, there’s a bottle of Pristine Gourmet oil on the table, but Persall isn’t flogging it.

“We want to educate people about our products and promote them, but we definitely didn’t want to cross the line and have an infomercial,” he says.

So what do you think? Good branding or a waste of money?

Persall admits it’s hard to measure the impact, but says video allows him to “tell our story about how we’re a family farm and show what our values are.”

There’s been no huge spike in sales, but they continue to grow and, more importantly, Persall is putting a solid foundation under his customer base. People e-mail after seeing the videos, sign up to follow him on Twitter and Facebook and ask questions about recipes or his production practices. Chefs and retailers watch the videos and tell their customers.

It helps that Persall is a likeable guy.

He’s polished but not slick in his videos, and his self-deprecating humour and enthusiasm for producing food shines through.

Obviously, not many farmers are going to follow in his exact footsteps.

But that’s not the point. His is just one example of how the huge upswell of internet video is profoundly changing business, with lots more to come.

“Web-based videos are the way of the future; you can just see it now.

When my 11-year-old son wants to figure out something, he goes on YouTube,” says the 41-year-old.

“You look at the generation below me and certainly the one below that and that’s how they learn. Down the road, I see people with their IPad or PlayBook in their kitchen while they’re cooking. It would be cool if some of them were playing our videos.”

It’s more of a generational lag: older people are catching on and it’s not hard to imagine a time when farmers, whether they’re selling local

food or custom-spraying services, will have videos on their websites to better tell their story and connect with customers.

And on the other side of the camera will be the rest of us. We’ll use them not only to make buying decisions but, like Persall’s son, to “figure

things out,” whether it’s the latest cropping technique or how to better manage the farm business.

“More and more people are turning to videos on the internet to find the information they want,” says Persall.

Those are words worth noting.

Whether we’re selling, buying or

learning, video is going to play a much bigger part in our lives.

FREE TRADE | EUROPEAN UNION

Agriculture issues critical in EU trade deal, says food official Access for beef, pork | A deal that doesn’t include a strong agriculture package ‘won’t be worth signing,’ says the agri-food trade alliance

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Free trade negotiations between Canada and the European Union are the best opportunity agricultural exporters have had in a generation to increase markets, MPs were told last week.

However, Canada should not sign a deal that does not include significant new access for agriculture, Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan told the House of Commons trade committee Oct. 27.

Barring an unlikely deal at the

World Trade Organization, the 500-million consumer EU market is the next best thing, she said.

“The EU is a lucrative market for Canadian agriculture and food products,” said Sullivan.

Negotiations are ending their second year and are scheduled to conclude early next year with or without a deal. The most sensitive agricultural issues have been left until the end.

“For us, that includes beef and pork and biotechnology regulations,” Sullivan said.

“These will be really critical in evaluating the success of an FTA at

the end of the day. We firmly believe that a deal that does not include a strong agriculture package just won’t be worth signing.”

John Masswohl, government and international relations director with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, later embraced her point.

The cattle industry supports the trade talks because tariff and technical barriers mean Canadian beef has little access to the European market.

“Whether we support the final agreement is really going to depend on whether it provides meaningful access for beef,” he said.

On the other hand, Dairy Farmers

of Canada president Wally Smith told MPs a successful deal must include continued protection for Canada’s dairy industry and its high tariff walls and resistance to a European demand that Canadian cheese not be named for the European region where the cheese type originated, such as parmesan and feta.

The EU is insisting geographical indicators that trade on the name of a European region should be protected for European use.

Without being able to use those brand names on Canadian-produced cheeses, “we are going to run into difficulty and we will have eco-

nomic pain as a result of our lack of ability to produce these cheeses,” said Smith.

The beef and dairy interests illustrated how well the government is straddling the line between free trade export interests and protectionist supply management interests.

Conservative MP Ed Holder asked Masswohl and Smith if they thought Canada was supporting their interests.

“Certainly on this negotiation we have a lot of confidence that the negotiators understand what it is that we need to get for the beef sector,” said Masswohl.

T h e f e d e ra l g ov e r n m e nt a n nounced its most recent commitment to food aid funding last week with a World Hunger 101 demonstration.

As several dozen students from the Elmwood School for girls stood in as a Parliament Hill photo op prop, World Food Programme executive director Josette Sheeran held up a cup.

It represented the amount of food the WFP provides for hungry children every day in scores of countries around the world. Canada is one of the largest supporters of the schoolfeeding program.

“We know that when children are hungry, they can’t learn,” Sheeran told the girls. “And today in the world we have over 60 million children who go to school and never have any food.”

The WFP gives an incentive to parents to send their kids to school because a cup of food is waiting for them, she said. “You should know that your country is making a huge difference for five million children a year, reaching them all over the world with a cup of food.”

Sheeran then asked the students what they want to be when they grow up. An artist, said one, a teacher, a doctor.

“Do you know that the children that I meet in Africa have the same dreams you do?” she said. “And you’re united with them through this cup, so children to children, Canada is standing with those children in Africa.”

In the glow of that praise, international co-operation minister Bev Oda announced that the Canadian International Development Agency will provide $125 million over five years to the WFP for food aid and $100 million over four years to the school meals program.

Canada is the WFP’s second-largest supporter.

Oda also announced that the Canadian Foodgrains Bank will receive $25 million annually for five years.

OBITUARY | KEN RITTER

Raw milk ban sparks hunger strike CWB director remembered Right to decide | Producer says Ottawa has no right to decide what people consume

for hard work, innovation

BY JOHN B. PLUCK

BY KAREN BRIERE

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

REGINA BUREAU

An Ontario man is now more than a month into a hunger strike he started Sept. 29 to protest a ban on raw cow milk for human consumption.

Michael Schmidt said he has taken the drastic step in an attempt to bring further publicity to his long-standing battle with the federal government over the right to produce unpasteurized cow milk.

It appears to be working.

Public support for Schmidt’s cause has grown over the past few weeks.

His Facebook followers now number in the thousands.

“The movement … grows because of the non-responsiveness of government,” said Schmidt, the leader of the raw milk movement in Canada.

“People are appalled about the stand government is taking. My hunger strike is a clear demonstration that the government has no right to decide what people put into their bodies”.

Schmidt said he has spent 17 years trying to enter into a constructive dialogue with health authorities, the milk marketing board and Agriculture Canada.

“I have the same concerns in regards to the safety of raw milk … (as) the ministry of health. We need to minimize risk,” said Schmidt.

He believes raw milk is the only substance on which the government has a zero tolerance risk policy.

Schmidt said the government’s stance on raw milk does not acknowledge that sanitation and testing have evolved.

Michael Schmidt attended a news conference Oct. 11 at the Blue bus in Thornhill, Ont. | RICHARD CHOMKO PHOTO David Gumpert, an American writer and blogger, said Schmidt has made great strides. “ T h ro u g h t h e hu n g e r s t r i k e, (Schmidt) has publicized and dramatized the issue in a way that has never happened before,” said Gumpert.

He said the raw milk movement is growing because “more and more people are beginning to realize that this is important, more and more people are outraged by the injustice of what is happening to (Schmidt) and by extension what they see happening to themselves.”

Gumpert believes the raw milk debate is part of the broader debate over fundamental rights of individuals. He said Schmidt is not trying to make raw milk available to the general public. Instead, he wants to supply raw milk to people who want it.

Gumpert believes the federal government should talk with Schmidt

GUN REGISTRY | RECORDS

Gun registry end pleases MP

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

He is not the sponsor of the government bill to end the long gun registry and doesn’t have his name on it but Saskatchewan MP Garry Breitkreuz’s fingerprints are all over it.

In many way, the veteran YorktonMelville MP is the godfather of Bill C-19 to scrap the registry and then destroy its 16 years of accumulated data.

The House of Commons voted to approve in principle Bill C-19, which will end the long gun registry and destroy the records collected since it was set up in 1995.

Breitkreuz has been dogged in his pursuit of the issue for more than a decade and a half, raising countless questions in the House of Commons and helping to trigger an investigation by the federal auditor-general that uncovered huge spending overruns in the registry.

“This really has been a focus of my time in Parliament,” Breitkreuz said in an interview last week. “But I’m no gun nut. It was just bad policy.”

When he was elected in the eastcentral Saskatchewan constituency in 1993, defeating 25-year veteran New Democrat Lorne Nystrom, gun control was not on the political radar screen for the farmer, teacher and principal with teaching experience

in Africa, the Solomon Islands and northern Saskatchewan.

That all changed one cold January night in 1994 when the newly elected MP was asked to speak at a meeting on Liberal government proposals to create a long gun registry.

The hall was packed with 1,000 people or more who had braved -39 C temperatures and who challenged him to dig deeper into justice minister Allan Rock’s proposed registry legislation.

“My first response was, ‘who could be opposed to gun control?’ ” he remembers asking the crowd.

They weren’t satisfied and told him to do his homework. He promised to do that and began a 16-year odyssey of research, Commons and committee questions, access-toinformation requests, thousands of pages of files stacked in the office and brown envelopes being shoved under his office door by bureaucrats directing him toward other areas of questioning.

After years of being mocked by governing Liberals for what they saw as a gun obsession, Breitkreuz was able to bask in the spotlight last week over the end of the registry.

“It has been a long haul but in the end, through working for positive change, we have been able to make a difference,” he told the Commons Oct. 27.

and other raw milk advocates.

Canadian food and drug regulations prohibit the sale of unpasteurized milk for human consumption.

Pasteurization is the process of applying heat to raw milk to remove bacteria that may cause human illness. The process does not affect the nutritional properties of milk.

The number of food-borne illness outbreaks from milk has decreased since pasteurization of milk was made mandatory by Health Canada in 1991.

Schmidt said he intends to carry on with his hunger strike until he gets the desired results.

A funeral service was held Oct. 29 in Kindersley, Sask., for the first farmerelected chair of the Canadian Wheat Board.

Ken Ritter died Oct. 24 from brain cancer. He was 64.

The farmer, lawyer and teacher was first elected to the board in 1998 as a candidate in favour of a dual market.

He represented District 4.

However, he changed his mind after he was elected and gained access to the board’s books. His fellow directors elected him chair in June 1999.

The current chair, Allen Oberg, issued a statement of condolence.

“I was saddened to hear of Ken’s untimely death and extend my sympathies and the thoughts and well wishes of all CWB board members to Ken’s family and closest friends,” he said.

Ritter served on the board until March 2008 when his term expired.

He farmed in the Major-Superb area of west-central Saskatchewan, practiced law and taught school in Canada and Australia.

Adrian Measner, the former CWB chief executive officer and now CEO o f Mi s s i o n Te r m i na l s, s a i d h e remembers Ritter as an intelligent,

KEN RITTER FORMER CWB CHAIR

articulate man and a hard worker.

“Ken took his role very, very seriously,” Measner said. “He wasn’t afraid to ask the tough questions and as a director that’s important.”

In the House of Commons, Wascana Liberal MP and former agriculture minister Ralph Goodale noted that Ritter was also active in Rotary and Kinsmen clubs and hockey.

Ritter was chair of the Saskatchewan Surface Rights Arbitration Board and helped design the province’s farmland security legislation in the 1980s. He was also a commissioner on the National Transportation Agency.

“Intellectually rigorous, with a passion for honest debate, Ken was an innovator, always generating new ideas to better ser ve farmers,” Goodale said.

Ritter is survived by son Ramon, daughters Felice and Nicole, their spouses, eight grandchildren, two former wives, two brothers and two sisters.

Behind the scenes at the

fall supper STORY AND PHOTOS

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

STONY BEACH, Sask. — Steam billows from tall shiny pots on side-byside stoves in the kitchen at Stony Beach hall.

There is as much room in this kitchen as there is in many of today’s new homes, but these cooks are feeding about 200 people instead of a single family. Counter space is at a premium.

The fall supper is an annual event in most communities. Pulling it together in Stony Beach, however, is a feat.

Just six people live in the tiny farming hamlet north of the Trans-Canada Highway a few kilometres from the Mosaic potash mine, Yara fertilizer plant, Terra Grain ethanol plant, Canada Salt and Alpine Plant Food fertilizer plant.

Yet for years, the community has held its fall supper and attracted din-

ers from as far as Moose Jaw and Regina.

Jane Walsh, president of the Stony Beach Community Club women who organize the meal, explained how they do it.

“We always get the help,” she said.

The club meets monthly and as fall approaches, its members simply take charge, she said. People within about a 10-kilometre radius are asked to contribute.

“Someone will phone around for pies,” Walsh said. “We usually need 48 to 50 pies.”

The Belle Plaine Hutterite Colony, just north of the hamlet, provides about 45 kilograms of potatoes. The club also purchases the turkeys — usually seven birds about 9.5 kilograms each — from the colony.

Six large bags of vegetables, pickles, buns and condiments complete the shopping list.

It’s all prepared in the tiny kitchen except for the turkeys, which are

cooked off-site and brought to the hall.

“We start cooking about 2:30,” Walsh said.

And they continue until everyone is fed.

“We don’t stop people from going back,” she said. “You can have as many pieces of pie as you want.

“We have never run out of food so we must be doing something right.”

Busy in the kitchen, the club members don’t often have time to visit

with the patrons so they aren’t just sure what keeps them coming back.

Walsh said as some people leave, they will call out, ‘See you next year’ and that’s a compliment in itself.

The secret to their success really lies in the dressing and gravy contributed by those who cooked the turkeys.

“We mix it all together at the hall,” Walsh said. “It tastes so good.”

Ruby Douglas, who grew up in Bethune, continues to come to the supper even though she now lives in Moose Jaw. “I always liked Stony Beach,” she said. “I curled here for years. It never seemed to grow much, but it was booming when curling was on.”

She and her husband, Neil Soles, watch for the ad to appear in their paper and make it the first of four or five suppers they attend each fall.

As people come through the door and the tables fill, Marj Mariam hugs many of them.

“I’ve lived here my whole life,” she

said, as she greets former residents and relatives who come out to support the community.

In contrast, Nor ma King just recently moved from the Claydon area to a farm south of the highway.

She is getting involved to get to know her new community.

That’s good news for a small ladies’ club.

Walsh said it has been hard to find members and workers some years.

“The last couple of years, some more people have moved into the area,” she said.

The non-profit organization holds several other events during the year, including a ladies’ night in the spring where the men have to wait on them. Some of the husbands will also take over shifts during the fall supper.

The club recently paid for new hall windows and toilets. The members are now raising money to fix the basement.

RURAL WATER QUALITY | RESEARCH

Rural water quality focus of survey Determining water safety | Researchers will gather data on water sources and quality issues

BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A lack of research on drinking water in rural western Canada was the impetus behind a study underway at the University of Saskatchewan.

Cheryl Waldner of the School of Public Health and the Western College of Veterinary Medicine is collecting data on the source and quality of drinking water supplies in rural Saskatchewan with graduate student Lianne Mcleod.

“The primary objective (of the research) is to collect … data so that we can have an overview of what is actually happening out there,” said Waldner.

She said there is no routine testing in place for private rural drinking water supplies used by many Saskatchewan farm families and as a result, the quality and safety of the water is unknown.

She conducted a smaller research project in the rural Saskatoon area last year and learned that variations in drinking water quality exist.

In this project, the researchers want to explore the source of families’ water, perceptions about water quality, beverage choices made in response to water quality and health concerns about water.

More than 6,000 sur veys will be mailed to rural communities throughout Saskatchewan. Only a small percentage of the four-page surveys have been sent, but so far the response rate has been better than expected, Waldner said.

She believes the survey provides rural participants with a good opportunity to voice concerns and opinions on water supplies.

Waldner wants to compare the data gathered to health information in the province and explore any healthrelated links.

The information gathered will be analyzed and provided to the health regions and general public in reports that will be available on the university’s website in the fall of 2012.

Funding for the research project is provided by the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

WATER QUALITY INDEX to pristine levels. These index values can only be obtained if all measurements meet recommended guidelines virtually all of the time.

• Marginal — 45-64: Water quality is frequently impaired; conditions often depart from desirable levels.

To be evaluated, water is tested for alkalinity, arsenic, hardness, dissolved solids, minerals and pH levels.

• Very Good — 89-94: Water quality is protected with a slight presence of impairment; conditions are close to pristine levels.

• Poor — Zero-44: Water quality is almost always impaired; conditions usually depart from desirable levels.

Water evaluation data produces a score between zero and 100 and in turn is ranked as poor, marginal, fair, good or excellent.

• Good — 80-88: Water quality is protected with only a minor degree of impairment; conditions rarely depart from desirable levels.

• Excellent — 95-100: Water quality is protected with a virtual absence of impairment; conditions are close

• Fair — 65-79: Water quality is usually protected but occasionally impaired; conditions sometimes

The index is not an absolute indicator of overall water safety. A community’s water may still not be safe to drink because of bacteria, a lack of minimum treatment, infrastructure deficiencies, treatment or disinfection system problems, or other unexpected occurrences.

The drinking water quality index provides an efficient way to rank water quality by looking at 23 commonly monitored chemicals within a community’s drinking water.

ALLERGIES | TREATMENT

Patch test can help pinpoint source of allergies HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

In late summer or early fall, I think I suffer from allergies to ragweed. Some people say it could be hay fever or an allergy to the goldenrod weed. I have lots of them on my farm. I get a runny nose and itchy, red and watering eyes until we get a killing frost. Do you have any suggestions for treatment or prevention?

I do not like to take antihistamines unless I have to.

A:

As many as 75 percent of North Americans who are allergic to pollen producing plants have problems with ragweed. This plant, sometimes called ambrosia, is a member of the compositae family. It has tall green spikes of tiny flowers that are almost the same colour as the leaves.

People with a ragweed allergy could also get symptoms when they eat cantaloupe or bananas. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

Pollen extract from various foods and weeds are injected into the skin.

Redness indicates an allergic reaction. | FILE PHOTO Chamomile tea, sunflower seeds and honey may contain pollen from the compositae family.

People with allergies to one type of pollen also tend to develop allergies to other plant pollens, so you may be allergic to goldenrod or grasses as well. Classical hay fever tends to occur earlier in the summer when

grasses are flowering, not in seed, so I think you are more likely to have a problem with ragweed.

Many people blame goldenrod because it flowers at the same time, but I doubt if it is the culprit. Other weeds in the garden or field such as groundsel might also be to blame.

If you want to know for sure, then

you will need to see an allergy specialist to get patch tested.

The doctor will lightly scratch or prick the skin and apply a liquid containing the suspected pollen extract. He will repeat this in another area, usually on your back, with other types, keeping note of what area was tested with what substance.

He will check you the next day to look for any red areas.

Preventive measures include staying indoors if possible with the windows closed if ragweed pollen counts are known to be high. You can track these numbers online at www.theweathernetwork.com.

Use a HEPA filter to clean the air in the house. You may consider taking a trip to an area of Canada where ragweed doesn’t grow such as northern parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

If you develop symptoms of itchy eyes or a runny nose, treat them with non-prescription antihistamine eye drops or a saline nasal spray.

If they do not work, your doctor can prescribe eye drops such as Livistin or nose drops that contain corticosteroids. There are also ragweed allergy shots available seasonally.

HORSERADISH | RECIPES

Horseradish perks up meals with a distinct zing TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

I

always found horseradish too strong until a friend introduced me to her dad’s creamy horseradish sauce. Since then, I have tried other recipes with horseradish and discovered a variety of tasty ways to use it.

Commercially prepared horseradish is about half the strength of freshly made horseradish.

It is a tapered light brown skinned root that hardly has any aroma until cut or grated. When cut, enzymes in the root break down to produce mustard oil, which is irritating to the sinuses and eyes. The flesh is a creamy white, but once grated, it must be immediately mixed in vinegar or the fibre will darken and lose its pungency.

HILL BILLIE’S HORSERADISH SAUCE This is a delicious creamy condiment with a subtle horseradish zip that complements roast beef or steaks. It can also be used as a replacement for mayonnaise on sandwiches and salads, or in devilled eggs.

HORSERADISH TIPS • One tbsp. (15 mL) grated fresh horseradish = 2 tbsp. (30 mL) bottled prepared horseradish • When serving horseradish, do not use silver because the horseradish will tarnish it.

• To retain the spicy zing of horseradish in cooked dishes, add it at the end of the cooking process, after the dish has been removed from the heat.

• For a pungent condiment to serve with pork, add 2 tbsp. (30 mL) of prepared horseradish to 1 c.

(250 mL) applesauce.

ON THE FARM | COW-CALF OPERATION

Better cattle, better beef make better bottom line Downey Ranch | Good grass and genetics are key

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WAMEGO, Kansas — Keeping on top of everything keeps a Kansas couple’s ranching operation on track.

Joe Carpenter and Barb Downey operate the Downey Ranch along the Kansas River in rugged land known as the Flint Hills.

It was founded in 1986 by Barb’s father, Joe Downey, a chemical company executive and third generation cattle producer.

“We’re still newcomers here by local farmer standards,” said Barb Downey.

Her father, Joe, said that after about 15 years and showing that they were staying, treating the land well and raising good cattle, their neighbours mostly dropped the “easterner from in front of newcomer.”

The couple has built a successful 6,500 acre, 600 cow-calf operation based on “great grass and the best genetics we could have,” said Barb.

After less than a decade in the business, the Downey Ranch began winning national Angus titles for marbling in their cattle.

Since then, they have covered their farm office walls with awards for both their commercial and 150 head pedigreed herd.

Putting their money where their beef is, the couple retain ownership of their cattle to slaughter, selling their beef, along with other producer-shareholders, through United States Premium Beef .

USPB sends its members detailed carcass reports on every animal processed. Barb said this lets the ranch choose its genetics based on carcass quality scores.

“With US Premium and through the (Certified Angus Beef program), we get paid more the better the animals score,” said Barb.

“That only pays off for the producer if you deliver the best grades,” she said.

The farm’s 2010 calf crop graded 65 percent CAB or higher, with eight access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

percent of their 325 calves grading Prime.

Cows stand chest high in midsummer pasture, despite drought this year.

Carpenter said the farm has been assembled through the acquisition of 13 smaller operations, including the rugged 3,000 acre, virgin prairie British Ranch, with its topography that repeatedly rises and falls more than 100 metres.

“With that many previous owners, some of the pastures took a lot of improvement. We work hard to ensure we don’t overgraze … encouraging the native plants to reclaim damaged areas and where other species got going,” he said.

Cows get 75 days on the pasture and then are moved onto crop residue for the fall and early winter.

“We calve on the range and we expect not to be there to help. Our standard for cows is that each one should wean a calf each year. Otherwise, she’s culled,” he said.

The couple has adopted low stress cattle handling techniques and fence line weaning, seeing improvements to overall herd heath and calf gains when they hit the feedlot.

Both pregnant and lactating cows are moved each week to minimize their exposure to disease and pests.

The herd has been closed for 15 years, relying on an extensive artificial insemination program.

Fall calving part of the herd has spread the workload and risk. Death losses have fallen to one-third of one percent.

Their annual fall sale, which is held on Nov. 4, will market 43 bulls and 30 bred commercial heifers.

Barb said offering a live-calf guarantee on the heifers and deferred spring delivery on the 20-month-old bulls has helped them get additional premiums on their seedstock business.

They have added a guest ranch and special events operation to their British Ranch location and 1870s stone house, “to add another revenue stream to the farm.”

The farm includes about 600 cows, including 150 registered Angus cattle. The farm, which was started in 1986 and assembled from 13 other landowners, is spread over two counties.

Joe Carpenter and Barb Downey run a 6,500 acre operation near Wamego, Kansas. The range can be rough in places, with the family’s British Ranch covering 3,000 acres of virgin tall-grass prairie and varied and rugged topography. | MIKE RAINE PHOTOS

Farm kids handle hard work in TV competition Taste of real jobs | Youth say working on farms made them better prepared for the gruelling tasks in army training

BY BRYN LEVY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Two Saskatchewan kids were given the chance to put the skills they’ve

learned on the farm to use in the third season of a youth reality show.

YTV’s In Real Life takes 18 kids aged 12-14 from across Canada and has them compete in a series of challeng-

es based on jobs throughout North America.

Past shows included training dolphins in Florida and learning how to operate the Jaws of Life, a tool used to

cut accident victims from car wrecks.

The challenges are set up as races, with the last team of two across the finish line facing elimination. The prize for winning is money for university tuition and an all expenses paid family vacation.

Chase Martin, a 13-year-old who lives on a farm near Coronach, was an avid fan of the series’ first two seasons and of Race to the Finish, the show’s accompanying online video game. He was thrilled to find out he’d been selected for season three.

“When I found out, I was jumping around the house,” he said.

Sydney Reynolds, 14, whose family runs a 6,000 acre grain farm near Nokomis had spent weeks preparing herself for rejection after applying.

“I couldn’t believe it, I had to get them to repeat it,” she said of being accepted for the show.

The next thing Reynolds knew, she was on her way to film the show’s first episode, in which the kids were subjected to the rigours of army training, complete with a drill instructor hollering at them as they raced in teams of two to complete various challenges, including a gruelling obstacle course.

“They don’t prepare you, you get in

a van, go to the location and all of a sudden they jump out and it’s pushups and sit-ups in the rain,” said Reynolds.

Both Martin and Reynolds said that their farm backgrounds gave them skills and toughness that helped them during the competition and the long days required to make the show.

“You do more stuff, you’re used to doing chores, and you’re used to being outside more, and doing things outside,” said Martin.

“You work until the job is done, and you get used to working tiring hours,” said Reynolds, adding that her experience helping her father, Darryl, also gave her experience with big equipment and vehicles that made her a bit less skittish than some city kids.

Martin, who was eliminated after the first episode, was happy for the experience.

“I met 18 amazing friends, and a whole bunch of really nice people, and the crew was really nice too… it was the experience of a lifetime.”

Reynolds agreed.

“We all have each other on Facebook and we Skype almost every day.”

In as little as half an hour, two people can install a Retro Rocket. Check out the Retro Rocket installation video online at www.grainguard.com/retrorocket
