Flax honours war vets In remembrance | Plant scientist names varieties for Canadian battles BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Every year in November, millions of Canadians adorn themselves with a bright red poppy to honour the nation’s war veterans. G ordon Rowland, a for mer Saskatoon resident and University of Saskatchewan plant scientist, chose a different flower to recog-

nize Canada’s war heroes. In a plant breeding career that spanned nearly 40 years, Rowland developed and named several flax varieties that eventually formed the backbone of Western Canada’s expanding flax industry. Those varieties included Vimy, Somme, Flanders, CDC Valour, CDC Bethune, CDC Arras, CDC Sorrel and CDC Sanctuary, all

named to honour Canadian veterans who served in the First World War. “I just thought it was a very fitting theme,” said Rowland. “It was a way of honouring those individuals who sacrificed so much of their personal lives during the First World War.” access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Allen Kuhlmann remembers when the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission got the call that Triffid had been found in a Canadian shipment. “We didn’t believe it,” said the former chair of the commission. “As far as we felt, there was no Triffid.” Kuhlmann and the rest of the industry were convinced the European labs must have detected Roundup Ready canola or some other type of genetically modified crop because Triffid was never commercialized in Canada. Reality set in when the Canadian Grain Commission confirmed that Triffid was indeed in the supply chain. “Your response is, ‘My God, what’s going to happen to the industry and what’s going to happen to me as a grower?’” said Kuhlmann, who farms near Rouleau, Sask. What happened was that flax prices went in the toilet, falling as low as $6 per bushel before being revived by a trade protocol negotiated with the European Union and sudden interest from Chinese buyers. For Kuhlmann, it was his first direct exposure to a new non-tariff trade barrier called low level presence, where trace amounts of a GM crop that has received regulatory approval in an exporting country but not in an importing country can restrict or shut down trade. It is an issue that has frustrated importers and exporters around the world who find the zero tolerance approach for unapproved GM traits employed by most countries intolerable.

IN REMEMBRANCE | FROM PAGE ONE

Flax honours vets Rowland has always been interested in Canada’s military history, and his family has military connections to the First World War. Two of his uncles served in the war, including a great-uncle, C.W. Rowland, who went missing in action in 1917. Rowland began his plant breeding career in Saskatoon in the early 1970s. About a decade later, during a sixmonth sabbatical in the United Kingdom, he and his family decided to take a vacation to France and Germany. En route, they stopped at the Vimy Memorial near the French towns of Vimy and Givenchy-en-Gohelle. One of Canada’s most well known overseas memorials, it was built to commemorate Canada’s First World War soldiers who were killed or presumed dead and have no known grave. As an expression of gratitude, France deemed the one sq. kilometre surrounding the memorial to be Canadian territory. When Rowland and his family visited the site in 1980, they found the name of Rowland’s missing uncle and left with a deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by Canada’s fallen soldiers. “I thought Vimy would make a good name for my first flax variety,” Rowland said. “Because the Vimy Memorial was ver y important to me and also because of my interest in the First

REGULAR FEATURES

World War and Canadians’ experience (there), that led me to think I’d like to use it for my first flax variety.” Rowland continued to follow the First World War theme for subsequent flax varieties that he developed at the U of S. Somme, a variety registered in the late 1980s, was named after the Battle of the Somme, the bloody military offensive that claimed more than a million lives in 1916, including those of more than 24,000 Canadians. Flanders, also registered in the late 1980s, was a reference to the Flanders region of France where numerous battles took place, including Ypres, Passchendaele and Somme. Now retired and living in Victoria, Rowland said selecting variety names related to Canada’s war effort resonated with all Canadians, but particularly rural residents in Western Canada, who have a special connection to both the war and agriculture. “I chose to use this theme mostly to honour … the misery that the Canadian troops went through in the First World War and their memory,” Rowland said. “So many of the people who lost their lives were farm boys who went over to Europe and had absolutely no idea what they were getting into or how terrible their lives would be.… I just wanted to provide people with some memory of that.”

Grain industry executives and government officials from around the world met in Vancouver recently to discuss the issue and to help find a path forward from what has become one of the biggest obstacles to agricultural trade. In the meantime, Kuhlmann and other flax growers are left to grapple with a problem that has decimated the industry. Canadian flax now accounts for 20 percent of Europe’s imports, down from 80 percent in pre-Triffid times. “The industry has taken a huge hit,” said Kuhlmann.

Exporters say zero tolerance has created unacceptable risks for grain shippers who have seen entire cargoes rejected for containing dust from an unapproved GM variety. Importers say it drives up costs and threatens the supply of grain they need to feed their people and their livestock in an era when food security and food price inflation are hot topics. Back on the farm it has created a headache for growers like Kuhlmann who is forced to test his flax for the presence of Triffid and to search out new markets for the crop he produces. “It’s a terrific annoyance,” he said. “I delivered loads of flax last week into Moose Jaw and I had four pieces of paper I had to sign before I could do it.” Flax isn’t the only crop that has been victimized by the global intolerance for unapproved GM traits.

SASKATCHEWAN | ELECTION

It’s not a sweep, but it’s close Sask. Party re-elected | Wall government wins second majority with record percentage of popular vote BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party steamrolled over the opposition Nov. 7 on their way to a second, larger, majority and captured a record 64 percent of the popular vote. Not since 1912, when the Liberals earned 57 percent, has a party earned that much approval from Saskatchewan voters. Unofficial results late Nov. 7 showed the Sask. Party with 49 seats compared to the NDP’s nine. At dissolution, the parties had 38 and 20, respectively. The collapse of the NDP, which earned 32 percent of the vote, included the loss of several long-time MLAs. As well, leader Dwain Lingenfelter did not win his Regina Douglas Park seat. He resigned immediately. Rural voters over whelmingly returned the government to power. The earliest returns were from rural ridings and indicated how the night would go. Yogi Huyghebaert in Wood River was actually the first MLA to be declared elected.

I am sorry, but we will do better. We will be victorious on the principals we believe in, in the next election. DWAIN LINGENFELTER NDP

The Saskatchewan general election delivered 49 seats for the Sask. Party and nine for the NDP, an 11 seat drop for the NDP from 2007.

31.7% 64.5 %

Just 25 minutes after the polls closed, television networks were declaring a Sask. Party majority. A few urban races were going down to the wire and at press time were too close to call. Since the Sask. Party already held all the rural seats, its gains were in the cities, including Moose Jaw, Regina, Saskatoon and possibly Prince Albert. Wall called the victory humbling. He said the so-called orange wave that moved across the country in other elections this year was not seen in Saskatchewan because, “In this

province, green is the colour.” One of his new MLAs is Saskatchewan Roughriders’ offensive lineman Gene Makowsky, who defeated Kevin Yates in Regina Dewdney. But Wall noted that electors voted on the promise of Saskatchewan and he pledged the government would do what it said it would to fulfill that potential. “We will do it with an attitude of humility,” he said. Mistakes will be made, but fixed. “Saskatchewan is becoming what it might have been, what it should have been…and we’re not going back,”

Wall said. He also noted the importance of rural Saskatchewan and agriculture to that future. In his speech to supporters, Lingenfelter said the NDP would be back. He said the NDP platform was principled and progressive and will set the course for the future. He accepted blame for the party’s loss. “I am sorry, but we will do better,” Lingenfelter said. “We will be victorious on the principles we believe in, in the next election.” Liberal leader Ryan Bater was

unsuccessful in his bid to win The Battlefords, despite concentrating his campaign on that single seat. Green Party leader Victor Lau was also defeated in Regina Douglas Park. In the end, the results proved close to what polls predicted days before the vote. Wall is expected to soon name a cabinet, and a short fall sitting of the new legislature is expected.

CWB | BILL C-18

Canadian Wheat Board bill moving rapidly toward law BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

As early as next week, the House of Commons could end decades of debate by approving legislation that will abolish the Canadian Wheat Board wheat and barley single desk. On Nov. 3 after just three nights of committee study and debate on the historic legislation, a special legislative committee voted to send the bill back to the Commons for final MP debate and a trip to the Senate for final passage and the end of the monopoly Aug. 1, 2012. On Nov. 4, Alberta MP and committee chair Blaine Calkins tabled the bill. Since the majority Conservative government has sharply limited debate on Bill C-18 at all stages, opposition MPs assume the government will launch final debate the

week of Nov. 14 when Parliament returns from a break and quickly force it through. Saskatchewan MP David Anderson, parliamentary secretary on the CWB file, sported a Saskatchewanwide smile as he announced in the Commons Nov. 4 that the end is near. “Farmers woke up this morning thrilled to finally hear that Bill C-18 has been returned to the House,” he said. “We will soon have debate at report stage and third reading. Farmers only have a few more sleeps until they have freedom.” New Democrat Pat Martin had a different take on the three nights of committee hearings, a record-short timetable imposed by the Conservative majority on the committee. “Late last night the heavy hand of the state came smashing down to destroy a great Canadian institution,”

he said. “It was a sham, it was a travesty and it would surely offend the sensibilities of anybody who would call themselves a democrat.” Liberal Wayne Easter rose when the report was tabled to wonder rhetorically if this was the bill that “violated” farmers rights by not giving them a vote and not holding committee hearings in the West to let farmers speak. Like the House of Commons debate that was ended by the Conservatives after three days, the committee hearings also were intense and abbreviated by Conservative demand. Witnesses were allowed to speak during just two evenings and supporters of the government decision to end the CWB monopoly were given most of the time. All opposition amendments that would have reversed or undermined

government proposals were voted down at committee. During his hour-long appearance at the committee Nov. 2, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the stifling of parliamentary debate was necessary because farmers need clarity about next year’s marketing rules and the CWB debate has been around for decades. Under the legislation that the government wants in effect by the end of the year, the 10 farmer-elected directors will lose their jobs and the board will be run by five government appointees through its five-year transition phase to private sector status or dissolution. In the meantime, the agriculture minister will have the power to approve or reject any business plan the interim board proposes as a way to transition to a private co-operative

or corporation. Opposition critics said under those rules, the government was “nationalizing” what had been a farmer-run board. Ritz said government oversight during the five-year transition period is necessary because taxpayer dollars will continue to guarantee CWB initial payments and borrowing. “In the interim period, taxpayers of Canada will be backstopping the whole entity,” the minister said. “We’ll guarantee the initial prices, we’ll guarantee the price premiums as they’re paid, we’ll guarantee the pools and at that point, taxpayer money is at risk. “Once we’re past that interim, absolutely farmers will run it.”

Poor crowds at pro-CWB rallies not sign of lack of support: professor Instead, farmers may have given up on polarized debate and aren’t bothering anymore BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The poor turnouts at pro-Canadian Wheat Board rallies could be a sign of resignation, dejection and worry rather than proof of a lack of interest among farmers, says a leading expert on co-operatives. “If you’ve been a board supporter and you go to one of these things, it’s a reminder that it’s gone, or it’s about to go. It’s depressing,” said Murray Fulton of the Centre for the Study of Co-operatives at the University of Saskatchewan. “This whole thing has become so vicious and so split and so polarized that if someone takes a stand, they’re worried about the situation down the road. It’s too polarized for some people’s liking.” Rallies opposing the federal Conservative government’s plan to dism a n t l e t h e C W B’s m a r k e t i n g monopolies have not drawn mass crowds of outraged farmers, but instead have been dominated by smaller groups of long-time committed monopoly supporters. This was true of the series of meetings organized by the CWB itself during the summer and at a string of rallies and events organized by others this fall.

MURRAY FULTON UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN

At various times in prairie farmer history, farmers have appeared in groups of hundreds or thousands when crucial issues were at stake, such as the Crow rate or low farm incomes. But there have been few major farm rallies in recent years and many have been wondering about why so few farmers are publicly rallying in support of the CWB. Does it say something about the CWB issue, about farmers’ willingness to protest for anything, or neither? Fulton thinks most farmers assume the CWB will be killed by the government, so protesting doesn’t make much sense. “They think it’s a fait accompli, so why bother?” However, Fulton doesn’t think cooperatives or other farmer-owned or

farmer-operated initiatives have gone out of fashion. Retail co-ops are some of the biggest agricultural input suppliers in Western Canada, credit unions dominate most rural areas and are big forces in cities, and farmers have been willing in recent years to invest money in producer car loading facilities and other farmer-led initiatives. Fulton thinks the big grain cooperatives, not including the wheat board, might have lost touch with local communities and have allowed co-op managers to make bad decisions. “ May b e f a r m e r s d i d n ’ t h av e enough control of the on-the-board table of what the company’s managers were doing,” said Fulton about the over-expansion of the producer pool elevator companies in the 1990s. So some farmers feeling alienated f r o m “c e n t r a l i z e d a n d q u i t e removed” co-operative grain companies switched their hopes to producer inland terminals and things like producer car loading. “Where there’s something a bit more local and a bit more immediate, farmers are quite willing to do that,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The market-oriented George Morris Centre says the end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly will be good for the prairie grain economy, spurring investment and expanded acreage. The report last week from the Guelph, Ont.-based agricultural think tank was manna from heaven for Conservative MPs who were rushing a bill that will end the CWB monopoly next year through a legislative committee. They cited the George Morris study often during two nights of hearings. “There is no evidence of impending collapse in western Canadian grain markets due to the federal government’s decision on the CWB,” said the report. “The prospect exists for wheat and barley to develop more like canola, oats and pulses in a less regulated environment under a voluntary CWB. If this were to occur, it would lead to significant investment, growth and economic opportunity in western Canada.” George Morris Centre analysts said that acreage and investment in the industry increased in Ontario and Australia once a seller’s monopoly was abolished. “The Ontario and Australian experience with wheat — initially in a mandatory single desk marketing arrangement and then in an open marketing system — is instructive,” they wrote. “Wheat acreage in Australia and Ontario has grown. It is also

evident that the Australian and Ontario wheat industries did not implode following the removal of single desk marketing.” However, opposition MPs and proCWB monopoly witnesses at the committee responded that while the grain sector did not disappear, it has become increasingly controlled by grain companies and not farmers. The GMC report said private sector investment in new varieties should follow the end of the CWB monopoly, as it has in oilseed and pulse industries. It said wheat and barley acreage on the Prairies has fallen in recent decades, along with productivity gains. And while the CWB has added various pricing options to try to mirror options available to producers in the private sector, there is a lack of transparency about future prices and producers still must wait for a final payment, it said. When he appeared before the legislative committee on Bill C-18 Nov. 2, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz noted the various studies from market-oriented research think-tanks that show “there has been no cost benefit” from the monopoly. “We have an equal number of studies we can produce,” interjected New Democrat Pat Martin. “An equal number of studies have disproven the myth and what has happened is we’ve lost wheat, durum and barley acres, the wheat board has become a price taker not a price setter anymore in the global reality,” said Ritz. “They’re now the third largest trader in Canada alone.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WHEAT BOARD DEBATE | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Supply management dodging CWB A leader in Canada’s protected supply managed sector is urging politicians not to drag supply management into the raucous debate over the future of the Canadian Wheat Board single desk. “We are urgently writing you today in response to the discourse that has been taking place and is having an unintended negative impact on supply management,” British Columbia dairy farmer and Dairy Farmers of Canada president Wally Smith said in a letter to federal party leaders in the middle of parliamentary battles over ending the CWB wheat and barley monopoly. “We do not want our system to be drawn into discussions on other collective marketing systems such as the Canadian Wheat Board.” The supply managed system, which limits Canadian production, controls import and sets prices, is under increasing attack by opponents at the same time as the Conservative government moves to end the CWB single desk.

However, the government insists its support of the system remains steadfast. CWB supporters, including opposition MPs, have been arguing that Conservative determination to end the board monopoly is a precursor to a Conservative attack on supply management. “We would be foolish and naïve to think that our supply managed industries — poultry, dairy and eggs — are not already being lined up in the sights of the government for their demise,” Liberal agriculture critic Frank Valeriote said during a late October parliamentary debate on the CWB issue. Conservatives, including agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, insist the government supports supply management protectionism because the CWB issue and supply management are not comparable. Supply management is supported by its affected farmers, was voted in by farmers and does not cost taxpayers money since supply management revenue comes from the market. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

MANITOBA FLOODING | INSURANCE HEADACHES

Insurance programs frustrate Man. producers Administrative challenges | Farmers and adjusters struggle to make non-compatible programs work together BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

A lot of ugly devils have jumped out of the details of flood, emergency and crop insurance programs as farmers and adjusters live through the crop impact of the 2011 Manitoba floods. Some farmers are feeling ripped off and poorly treated, adjusters are trying to figure out what actually happened in fields this past summer, and program administrators are going through the slow torture of making non-compatible insurance programs work together. “It’s been an administrative challenge,” said Craig Thomson, a Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation vice-president, with a degree of understatement that made members of Keystone Agricultural Producers laugh at a general council meeting. Farmers at the meeting complained about various programs not working quickly or as they were intended. “It seems like almost half my neighbours were audited and a lot were really cut down,” said Starbuck farmer Chuck Fossay. “I think there needs to be some better understanding of exactly —both on farmers’ part and the auditor’s part — of what this program’s meant to do or how it was supposed to deal with excess moisture.” Particularly contentious have b e e n p ro g ra m s f o r p re v e n t e d seeding and drowned-out crops. Often claims for programs like those were assessed in mid-summer, but farmers have been able to

Cemeteries, roads, farmyards and crops were all flooded in many regions. Some Manitoba farmers are now finding it difficult to collect compensation. | FILE PHOTO make some claims until the end of September this year, so the situation is confusing for adjusters and farmers alike. For the drowned-out crop program, a farmer who appears to have harvested a crop on the land generally gets cut out of the program. “The intention of that program is quite clear: it is for crop that is flooded out and is not harvested,” said Thomson. “The first indication is: did you harvest that field? Well, if you did, it doesn’t fit that.” But Fossay and farmers Don Dewar

and Ed Rempel pointed out that farmers this year often used combines to clean up and shred the straw from weed and volunteer covered fields, not to harvest a marketable crop. “When I’m going down a field and I’ve got a one or two acre patch, my swather goes through it to get rid of the weeds and my combine goes over it to chop it up, and you call that ‘harvesting?’” said Dewar. “I wouldn’t call that a harvestable crop, or that it’s just been harvested. I think there needs to be some leeway.” Rempel said combines this year were often the only affordable solution to

out-of-control weeds and volunteers on saturated fields. “A lot of people used straight headers on combines because they didn’t have $75,000 tandem discs to chop up the vegetative matter,” said Rempel. “You use what you have.” Thomson said adjusters have problems telling the difference between fields that had virtually no crop and those that just had low-yielding crops, especially if the adjuster has to assess the situation after it has been cleaned up and had any fall work done to it.

“We appreciate that you’ve got to get rid of the trash and everything on the field, we understand that, but at the same time we have to administer a program that we should not be paying for people who harvested 15 bushels an acre but declared it drowned out,” said Thomson. “Somewhere in between (a noncrop of two bu. per acre and 15 bu. per acre) is where we’re trying to arrive at, and find the people who purposely misdeclared, and deal with them.” Rempel said farmers support the crackdown on deliberate cheats of insurance and compensation programs, but called for adjusters to be reasonable. Thomson said other programs, some of them created in the panic of the 2011 floods, have created administrative problems. The special compensation for the Hoop and Holler Bend area near Portage la Prairie exempts farmers from some other forms of compensation, but the records from the other programs have to be transferred across to the special program. That has been a nightmare to achieve, and slowed down the payout process. “It has been an extreme challenge for us to get land from our insurance computer system out of the system and into another program,” said Thomson. “We’ve had to deal with it order by order, dealing with individual farms, and our apologies, but it has been time-consuming and extremely challenging for us to do.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

AGRONOMICS | DISEASE

Clubroot discovered in canola research plots in Sask. Changes in research protocols expected | Saskatchewan won’t ban canola production in affected areas as was done in Alberta BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The discovery of clubroot in two corporate disease nurseries in Saskatchewan has prompted the Canadian canola industry to review the way canola seed companies manage research facilities in Western Canada. Cargill Canada has confirmed that clubroot has been identified at two of the company’s disease nurseries in north-central Saskatchewan. Company officials and provincial disease experts with Saskatchewan Agriculture said last week that the exact locations of the infected facilities would not be disclosed because of privacy issues. But independent sources that asked to remain anonymous told The Western Producer that one of the infected nurseries is located near Aberdeen, about 30 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, where the company develops and tests specialty oil varieties. Lorin DeBonte, assistant vicepresident of research and development for Cargill Specialty Oils, confirmed that the two infected nurseries are located in two different Saskatchewan municipalities.

To drive from one nursery to the other would take two hours, he added. Cargill has been working with Saskatchewan Agriculture, the Canola Council of Canada and local farmers to ensure the disease is contained, he added. “Upon discovering the presence of clubroot, we notified grain growers and owners of lands around the disease observation nurseries and provided them with the guidance and resources they required to manage the issue in a timely and cautious manner,” DeBonte said. The discovery of clubroot in Cargill research plots has the canola industry reviewing management protocols for research facilities owned or operated by canola development companies. According to DeBonte, Cargill plant scientists discovered clubrootinfected plants while analyzing Cargill’s unregistered canola cultivars for resistance to blackleg, another common canola disease. To analyze new cultivars for blackleg resistance, companies typically identify production areas where blackleg is a prevalent concern, establish a disease nursery in that vicinity and then crop canola continuously to ensure that disease levels in nursery

plots are consistently high. However, cropping canola continuously creates an ideal environment for the spread of clubroot. Growing canola on the same land in back-to-back years is strongly discouraged by the Canadian canola industry and by Saskatchewan’s provincial clubroot management plan. Commercial canola growers are encouraged to plant canola once every four years. In some instances, companies looking to increase blackleg pathogen levels in a blackleg nursery will collect infected plant material from one area and transport it to an established disease nursery in another area. “In order to build the disease (levels) up, you typically are finding locations or farmers’ fields where they’ve had blackleg infestations or you’re collecting specific plant materials from those fields that have been infected and you’re bringing those materials to your nursery areas so that you have a good inoculum of disease to infect your plants,” DeBonte said. Transporting plant material and soil from one area to another is also discouraged in the province’s clubroot management plan. DeBonte said Cargill conducted

soil tests at the infected sites before establishing its blackleg nurseries. Those soil tests showed no sign of the clubroot pathogen. “What we believe is that (it was there) … at such a low level that it was not detectable.” DeBonte said research companies that operate disease nurseries typically follow management guidelines that include setback distances from neighbouring crops, restrictions on access and procedures for disinfecting machinery and vehicles that enter or leave the sites. He acknowledged that in some instances, management protocols for corporate research facilities appear to be out of sync with provincial clubroot plans for commercial canola growers. Cargill will work with Saskatchewan Agriculture, the Canola Council of Canada, academics and other canola companies to review procedures and develop new protocols to ensure that research efforts are not contributing to Western Canada’s clubroot problems. ”This will be addressed by industry,” DeBonte said. Faye Dokken-Bouchard, a plant disease specialist with the province,

said Saskatchewan Agriculture will be working with Cargill and the two affected RMs to develop local management plans. Farmers will also be encouraged to follow best management practices that prevent the spread of the disease. The province does not anticipate restrictions on commercial canola production in the affected RMs but will encourage growers to follow four year rotations and take other necessary precautions. “That (restriction on production) is not something that’s being required at this time,” said Dokken-Bouchard, who also chairs an industry group established to control the spread of the disease in Saskatchewan. “We believe that our producers in Saskatchewan … will make the right decisions about their rotations.” DeBonte said the discovery of clubroot in Cargill’s test plots means the company will lose a year’s worth of research data from its Saskatchewan test locations. However, the setback is not likely to delay registration of Cargill’s newest specialty oil varieties because the company’s most promising cultivars are usually tested and screened in all three prairie provinces. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Contract clause recognizes weather risk

Diesel price tops gasoline Demand booming | Energy and mining consumption draws down stocks

BY ED WHITE BY ROBERT ARNASON

WINNIPEG BUREAU

It’s hard to imagine that a modest molecule of carbon and hydrogen can be sexy, but diesel is one of the sexiest investments on the planet at the moment, says an American petroleum analyst. “Everybody right now, if you talk to all the investment bankers and traders, they’ll tell you, ‘we love diesel, diesel is the place to be, this is the product that we think is going to be the most spectacular,’ ” said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for Oil Price Information Service, a petroleum publication and pricing service in Maryland. Speculators are infatuated with diesel, Kloza explained, because emerging markets in Asia and South America are consuming more and more diesel as their economies expand. As well, mining companies, oil and gas explorers and industrial users in North America are burning more diesel, which is putting pressure on inventories in the U.S. and Canada. As an example, oilsands operations and other resource industries in Western Canada consume billions of litres of diesel each year, said Spencer Knipping, Ontario Ministry of Energy petroleum analyst. “In Alberta, you are twice as dependent on diesel as we are in Ontario,” Knipping said, noting that diesel represents 40 percent of all the petroleum consumed in Alberta, based on Statistics Canada data. Similarly, it requires a lot of of diesel to power the heavy equipment needed to find and extract petroleum south of the border. “We’re seeing this stuff (diesel) fly up to places like North Dakota, in the Bakken (oil deposit), because of the fracking and the drilling and the rigs,” Kloza said. Consequently, distillate (diesel) stocks in the U.S. at the end of October stood at 142 million barrels, down 23 percent from the same period in 2010. “It makes for the lowest invento-

Diesel prices are expected to continue to rise over the winter and into the new year, according to analysts. | FILE PHOTO ries in five years,” said Kloza, who has appeared on NBC, BBC, CNN and other television networks to comment on petroleum prices. “You can get very bullish about it based on inventories and demand.” Given the growing demand and tight supplies, a gap between diesel and gasoline prices has emerged in Canada and the U.S. According to a survey by Kent Marketing Services in London, Ont., average pump prices April 1 in

Winnipeg were $1.19 per litre for gasoline and $1.18 per litre for diesel. On Nov. 1, prices were $1.13 per for gas and $1.24 for diesel. S i m i l a r l y , Ap r i l 1 p r i c e s i n Edmonton were $1.12 for gasoline and $1.13 for diesel. On Nov. 1, diesel was $1.19 and gasoline was $1.05 in Edmonton. Looking ahead, assuming Greece and the European Union arrange a bailout and austerity package that restores investor confidence, diesel

prices are likely to rise over the winter and continue rising in 2012, Knipping said. “The world economy is continuing to grow… and in the developing economies, growth continues to be strong… and oil demand continues to grow,” he said. “Some analysts, including some major investment banks, say they expect a further tightening of the oil market.” Kloza supported that assessment, adding that diesel consumption in China will soon overtake diesel usage in the U.S. If Greece descends into chaos and Italy teeters toward financial collapse, the global economy could retreat into recession, Kloza added. Yet, even with that gloomy scenario, he remains bullish about diesel. “The oil market and particularly the diesel market has an upward bias. But, if there is a (global) recession… everything has a downward bias,” he said. “Regardless, the one product that is going to trade at a very high margin to crude oil, well into 2012 and maybe years beyond, is diesel.”

When the weather gods curse prairie farmers, crop contractors have to offer act of God clauses, it seems. That’s how farmers are looking at contracts like the new Archer Daniels Midland Nexera canola contract that contains an act of God clause. “On the Prairies, we’ve seen such wild variability (in the weather) for the past three years that the act of God clause is something that guys will probably jump on,” said Canadian Canola Growers Association president Ed Schafer. “We’re in a time of really good prices, and you can lock in nice prices, and this’ll take the risk out.” Agri-Trend Marketing manager Derek Squair said farmers in many areas wouldn’t dare grow contracted canola next season without an act of God clause. “With wet fields, that would be hard to contract,” said Squair, who is based in Moosomin, Sask., where farmers have had trouble with flooding. “They’d have trouble signing those guys up without an (act of God clause). Farmers are getting more risk averse, especially on the production side after the last couple of years.” The ADM contracts were introduced Oct. 31 to farmers on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. The clause covers 100 percent of the contracted production. The ADM contracts will be available through its offices in Carberry, Man., and Watson, Sask. Squair said act of God clauses in specialty canola contracts will be popular, but the contracts will have to have big premiums to make up for the yield drag farmers generally see when they grow the varieties. Squair said contract premiums per bushel range from $40 to $70 over common commercial canola, but some of that is eaten up by lower yields. “You’re not getting $70 an acre more. It’s more like $20 or $30 because we expect yield drag,” said Squair. The overall premium is also needed to convince farmers to grow a crop that requires extra marketing and management, he said.

Hedge inputs to save margins South American Prepare now, save later | Sell $1 of future crops for every $1 of input costs BY ED WHITE

soybeans free of La Nina trouble … so far

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers who fill their 25,000 litre fuel tanks this winter, only to see the price drop by 10 cents per litre afterward, stand to lose $2,500 compared to what they could have paid. Is there any way to hedge that? That’s the kind of question financial experts say farmers need to think about, and the kind of work marketing advisers try to convince farmers to do. “A big part of our strategy is locking in margins,” said Agri-Trend Marketing manager Derek Squair. “We try to match it up dollar for dollar.” In other words, for every dollar of fertilizer, diesel or chemicals bought, farmers are encouraged to sell one dollar’s worth of a future crop — usually canola. That way the input price is covered by the sales price and farmers will not be vulnerable to price swings in the long period between when they buy inputs and when they sell the harvested crop. Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett, who took part in a panel discussion with Bank of Montreal agricultural lenders about their bank’s recent farm financial and production outlook, said farmers need better ways to protect the price spread between input prices and crop or livestock sales. “We’ve had a lot of discussion in our organization and in some of the commodities about really taking a look and seeing if there are other tools that we can put in place and be able to hedge some of our costs against what our future sales are going to be,” said Bonnett. BMO Saskatchewan lending manager Glen Snyder said farmers are often good at hedging the sales price of their crops, and buying various forms of crop and revenue insurance, but few are able to effectively hedge their input exposure. “There needs to be much more

Analysts say forward pricing canola can help hedge against input price increases. | FILE PHOTO focus on the expense items, the risk management there,” said Bonnett. But that’s difficult, say marketing advisers. Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions said diesel prices can be hedged using NYMEX heating oil futures, but natural gas futures often do not offer a reliable proxy for fertilizer prices. Natural gas is the main component in nitrogen fertilizer. “That relationship is pretty loose,” said Driedger about the fertilizernatural gas spread. “I certainly wouldn’t recommend it.” He shares Squair’s view that forward sales of crop matched to present purchases of inputs can cover the purchase price of the inputs and eliminate that portion of the risk. Especially now, with fertilizer prices high, Driedger said his firm discourages farmers from buying much fertilizer unless it’s matched by a sale. “I think it’s too risky to leave it totally naked (at today’s fertilizer prices),” said Driedger.

Squair said his company assesses a farmer’s input price risks and then hedges them out, with the riskiest inputs — usually fertilizer because of its price volatility — hedged first. If a farmer is going to buy $100,000 of fertilizer, he’ll sell $100,000 of next year’s canola. “We do buying and selling decisions based on those risk ratings,” said Squair. While using heating oil futures as a facsimile for diesel, or making big sales of canola to cover a big purchase of fertilizer, can be a chancy process, the advisers said often the hardest part of the risk management process is convincing the farmer that purchased inputs are still a financial risk even after they have been paid for. And they don’t like locking in next year’s crop prices in order to hedge an expense they’ve already paid out. “We have a lot of clients that don’t like forward pricing canola, but they don’t have any problem buying fertilizer six months or eight months or 10 months in advance,” said Squair.

n September, reports that the La Nina weather system was making a comeback raised concerns that South American crop regions would have a dry growing season. However, the weather this seeding season appears ideal and forecasters are increasing their guesses for the 2011-12 Brazilian crop, the world’s second large soybean producer after the United States. Brazilian forecaster Celeres now pegs the soybean crop at 75.5 million tonnes, up about 300,000 tonnes from its forecast last month and about equal to last year’s record large crop. Celeres expects seeded acreage will be slightly higher than last year but yields slightly lower. Argentina is the world’s third largest soybean producer. Seeding there is behind normal after a dry September, but moisture arrived in October and is continuing to spread across dry regions. The La Nina last year knocked Argentine soybean production down to 49 million tonnes from 54.5 million the year before. This year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts a revival to 53 million tonnes. The critical time will be December when the La Nina, although weaker, is expected to be fully formed.

The improved prospect for South American crops is weighing on soybean futures. Also, the harvest in the Black Sea region has been better than expected. Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan are hotly competing in the world market, driving wheat prices lower, particularly for lower quality grain. Quantities of lower quality wheat look set to increase even more. While La Nina is not hurting South America, it appears to be sparking above average rain that is damaging wheat in Australia. Last year, torrential November and December rain wreaked havoc on the quality of a record size wheat crop. Australia still has large quantities of low quality old crop wheat and it is slugging it out with Black Sea source in a race to the price bottom to move it. If rains continue this year, Australia will have even more damaged wheat to add to its pile.

CANFAX REPORT

HOGS STEADY

A weaker loonie and stronger Chicago fed cattle futures helped lift Canadian fed cattle prices. Support also came from higher cattle prices in the northern United States. There is strong demand for Choice cattle partly because Walmart grocer y operations are adding Choice to their store shelves and northern cattle are more likely to grade Choice than Texas cattle. The Canfax weekly average for fed steers was $111.54, up $1.95 and heifers were $111.34, up $2.66. Canadian feedlots are very current in their marketing. The cash-to-futures basis narrowed slightly to close at -$12.42. Sales volumes totaled 15,047 for the week, up 52 percent from the previous week.

U.S. hog prices held up well despite falling pork prices. Slaughter increased a little to make up for Nov. 11 closures. Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants closed at $66 US per hundredweight Nov. 4, steady with Oct. 28. The cash U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $92.04, down from $97 Oct. 28. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.35 million, up from 2.31 million the previous week.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.85-$4 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.

FED CATTLE HIGHER

Indications that Japan will relax import regulations on North American beef, allowing products from animals under 30 months of age, cheered the market. Market-ready supply will be tight for the next few weeks, supporting prices, but packers will resist because they have narrow margins.

COWS DOWN D1, D2 slaughter cows fell almost $2 per cwt. and D3 cows fell $2.50 due to ample supply. Dressed slaughter cow prices were $123-$128 down $2. Butcher bulls fell for the tenth consecutive week to average $72.27 per cwt., down more than $10 from Sept. 1. Weekly non-fed exports to Oct. 22 were down four percent to 2,988 head.

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

Ample supplies of non-fed cattle are anticipated through November and prices are expected to trend moderately lower.

VOLUME PRESSURES PRICE The strong fall feeder run saw more than 100,000 head on offer pressuring prices lower. Weighted average steer prices were $2.25 per cwt. lower and heifers were about $1.50 lower. A heavy offering of 500-700 pound steers saw pr ices $2.50 lower and steers heavier than 700 lb. fell $2. Light stocker heifers 300-500 lb. fell $2.75 and heifers heavier than 500 lb. dipped about $1. Auction volume was up 21 percent at about 106,000 head, which could be the peak of the 2011 fall run.

CANADIAN BEEF RISES U.S. beef cutout values were somewhat mixed with Choice trading about 75 cents lower. Choice closed Nov. 4 at $187.13 US per cwt. and Select was $169.75. The Montreal wholesale market for delivery this week rose $1 to $203$205 Cdn per cwt. Weekly Canadian cutouts to Oct. 28 saw both AAA and AA cutouts trend more than $1.50 higher with AAA at $176.51 and AA at $167.16.

CRAIG’S VIEW

ENVIRONMENT | CLIMATE CHANGE

Adapting to climate change must be top priority

t is time to admit climate change is real and to unleash human innovation to develop responses that are practical and affordable. No matter what the cause, there is a warming trend and a hotter climate is a more volatile one. If the cause is greenhouse gas, there is already so much carbon in the atmosphere that warming is irreversible for the next 1,000 years. Rapidly slashing fossil fuel use is not possible without critically injuring the world economy. While we might make progress toward more efficient mass transit and electric cars, and build more wind turbines, solar power and nuclear plants, those advances are swamped by the rising energy needs of people in the developing world who aspire to a lifestyle similar to that in the developed world. Adaptation must be the priority and the most critical adaptation will be to raise food production in an increasingly volatile climate. The United Nations says seven billion people now live on earth, and we are on our way to about nine billion by 2050. Not only will there be more mouths to feed but a growing number also want meat and its attendant need for more grain production. Forecasts are that food production will have to increase 70 percent by 2050. That demand forecast means there is no room for the type of anemic agricultural production experienced in the early years of this century. In four consecutive years, 2000 to 2003, cereal consumption outpaced production. In only one year between 1999 and 2006 did production outpace consumption. The result was a huge drawdown in grain stocks, wiping out what had been a security account. We no longer have wiggle room to accommodate climatecaused production failures. We must begin to adapt now to avoid much hardship down the road, but efforts are held back by climate change deniers and pandering politicians who take the easy but dangerous path of doing nothing.

Deniers jumped on the Climategate scandal of 2009, in which the e-mails of climate scientists at the University of East Anglia were hacked and posted online in an effort to expose supposed data manipulation that exaggerated the planet’s warming trends. However, six independent inquiries into these allegations found no evidence of deliberate scientific malpractice or manipulation and nothing to challenge the scientific underpinnings upon which climate change theory rests. This month, prominent climate change skeptic Richard Muller and his team at the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study in California concluded a two-year look into whether the Earth is actually warming or whether the data is wrong because of faulty temperature monitoring. The study was sparked by the e-mail controversy. It concluded that the data is correct and the Earth has warmed since the 1950s, just like mainstream climate experts have been saying. The study did not say how much of the warming is due to human activity. A draft UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report just out is not so reticent. It concludes that man-made climate change is boosting the intensity and frequency of disasters, such as heat waves, wildfires, floods and cyclones and there will likely be more of the same in the future. The prudent response is more urgent efforts to develop agricultural systems resilient to weather challenges. That requires the best use of technology such as fertilizer, efficient irrigation and improved crop varieties with tolerance to drought and other stresses. Best practice agronomy must be promoted in sympathy with local farmer knowledge. No one will regret such investments even if the worst predictions about climate change prove wrong.

GOVERNMENT | LEGISLATIVE AGENDA

Feds’ rush to pass legislation smells like a Third World rubber stamp NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

here are many words that could be used to describe the Conservative government decision to rush through Parliament momentous legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board single desk. ‘Efficient’ comes to mind, ‘decisive’ perhaps or ‘determined’.‘Democracy’ and ‘due process’ are not among them. Considering the importance of the

issue for prairie farmers, the amount of debating time it has taken over almost four decades and the irreversible consequences of ending the single desk, the legislation is moving through Parliament at unprecedented speed. The bill was introduced Oct. 18, debate at approval-in-principle stage was limited to three parliamentary days and then it was sent to committee for two evenings of public hearings during which supporters of the bill dominated the witness list as voted by the Conservative majority. One evening of limited clause-byclause discussion took place and presto, it is back to the House of Commons for a few more days of debate and then off to the Senate for quick passage. It seems certain the bill will be through the Senate and proclaimed

into law by the time Parliament rises for a six-week Christmas break Dec. 15. That will be less than two months of parliamentary time from start to finish for what is a historic change in agricultural policy. Three decades ago when the Liberal government of the day wanted to undermine the Crowsnest Pass grain freight rate system, debate went on for months. In the end, the Liberals got their way but no one could argue that the critics, the supporters and the opposition did not get their say. On the CWB file, that is not the case. Just three prairie farmers who support the single desk — Allen Oberg, Stewart Wells and Ian McCreary — got to speak and they were given just an hour, shared with University of

Saskatchewan agricultural economist Ken Rosaasen. Supporters of the legislation dominated the seven hours set aside for witnesses but even they did not have much time, although they were happy to see the debate end quickly. Their argument, like that of agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, was that it is an old debate and the end result is clear so let’s move on. But missing from that equation is the small inconvenience of Parliament as a forum where issues old or new are debated. The wheat board debate is decades old but Bill C-18 with its tight timeline and surprising provision to fire all farmer-elected directors this winter so government appointed directors can run it for the next five years is new.

Parliament has been around for a thousand years or so to hold governments to account for such policy bombshells. “A majority government does not bestow absolute power,” CWB chair Allen Oberg told the committee. He is right in principle but this government, with 39 percent of popular support May 2, is proving day after day he is wrong in practice. The CWB is not the only example. House leader Peter Van Loan has restricted debate on other bills, arguing that voters gave the Conservative a mandate to fulfill their agenda. Funny, none of the Conservative election material delivered to homes on the Ottawa West- Nepean riding mentioned turning Parliament into a Third World rubber stamp. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

MARKETING BOARDS | B.C. ORCHARDS

forecast Farmers struggle with marketing boards Bright sparks talk of expansion T BY JOHN W. WARNOCK

he political battle over the Canadian Wheat Board is certainly nothing new. We live in a capitalist system where farmers produce food as long as they can make a profit and it is distributed according to ability to pay. No matter how hard farmers work, as a rule they receive a declining share of the consumer’s food dollar. Canadian farmers have always known that when it comes to political and economic power, they cannot equal that of finance capital, the farm supply industry and the food processing and distribution corporations. Farmers and peasants the world over have adopted various strategies to try to defend their interests. At first, where they were quite numerous, they formed political organizations and political parties. This worked to some degree but failed to halt the decline in their numbers. The alternative strategy was to form producer and consumer cooperatives, credit unions, farmerowned processing industries and marketing boards. Throughout the Commonwealth at the time of the Great Depression, governments passed legislation granting farmers the right to form marketing boards. Farm commodity organizations petitioned governments, producer referendums were held and single desk marketing boards were established when a majority said yes. The democratic m a j o r i t y r u l e d : f a r m e r s w e re required to sell all their product through the chosen board. Tree fruit growers first created co-op packing plants in British Columbia’s

The single marketing desk in British Columbia was a big help to fruit growers, says the author. | FILE PHOTO Okanagan Valley, where I was an orchardist, but the corporate food distribution and processing companies just played one against the other. The growers petitioned the provincial government, a referendum passed by a large majority and the single-desk B.C. Tree Fruits Marketing Board (BCTF) was created. The growers then created Sun Rype to try to break the food processing oligopoly. However, BCTF was not a supply management board. It could not control fruit imports being dumped into Canada and was in a weak position when bargaining with large food distributors. Prices lagged behind

costs. Most growers could not survive without the income their family earned off-farm. There have always been farmers who resent selling their product through a single desk marketing board. In the Okanagan, they were mostly the larger farmers who were able to cherry-pick the better markets and out-compete their neighbours. They began to peddle their quality product to special markets, leaving the balance of their crop to be sold by the marketing board. BCTF had no ability to enforce the legal system. A number of farmers blamed the board for the cost price squeeze and

demanded that the provincial government end BCTF’s status as a single marketing desk. The “fruit wars” came to a crisis point in 1972. A referendum among growers was held in December 1973, and 62 percent voted to keep the existing single desk. However, the NDP government concluded that the majority was not strong enough, and legislated the end to a compulsory board. The number of growers declined from a peak of 3,000 to roughly 500 commercial growers today. The acreage under tree fruit production has dropped significantly, from 26,000 to 10,000 acres. Okanagan farms are now bought by wealthy people who have no interest in farming. Our 15-acre orchard sold a couple of years ago for $1.5 million. The fruit trees were removed, and only a few acres of grapes were planted. Other farmers have switched to growing grapes, and there are now many small hobby grape growers and wine producers. Our co-op packing house closed because it did not have enough tonnage to cover costs. Sun Rype has been sold to private investors. There is no guarantee that the retention of BCTF as a single marketing desk would have prevented the demise of the tree fruit industry. However, for family farmers who were too busy farming to have the time to sell their own product, it was a big help.

Warnock is retired from teaching political economy and sociology at the University of Regina and is author of The Politics of Hunger: the Global Food Industry. He and his family were also commercial fruit growers in the Okanagan Valley. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

WHEAT BOARD | WHAT TO EXPECT

Expect positives and negatives on Aug. 1 HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

epending who you listen to, either the sky is going to fall on Aug. 1, 2012, or the sun is going to rise on a bright new future. We’ve all heard the arguments for and against the single desk and generally those arguments come with predictions of either doom or prosperity. It won’t all be positive and it won’t all be negative. And there will be a lot of changes that observers haven’t considered. Don’t expect a boom in secondary processing. Yes, Alliance Grain Traders at Regina has already announced a durum mill and pasta plant. And

yes, Rahr Malting at Alix, Alta., has announced an expansion to its storage facilities. But the secondary processing game is highly competitive and food markets are mature. Any new or expanding ventures have to steal market share from someone else and they have to make the economics work. A big expansion in secondary processing was forecast by those who wanted an end to the Crow Rate. A transportation subsidy for moving raw product out of the region was certainly a big negative for processing, but even without the subsidy we haven’t exactly become a secondary processing powerhouse. There has been an impressive expansion in canola crushing on the Prairies, but it didn’t happen quickly and there were many other factors at play. The hog industry that was supposed to boom with access to landlocked feed grain has imploded. The loss of the Canadian Wheat Board single desk could be a negative for the beef industry. Cattle producers tend to be free enterprise types,

but having the CWB single desk has probably moderated the price of barley over the years. The international market for feed barley is not always competitive with what barley is worth within Western Canada. There are years when little feed barley is sold out of the country. Open market players should be more nimble in capturing offshore sales when opportunities arise. That is likely to support domestic feed barley prices. Feedlots that have to pay more for barley bid less for calves. This effect may be counteracted by an increase in barley acreage along with increases in wheat and barley. Academics and analysts don’t agree on whether the CWB single desk delivers higher overall prices to producers, but there’s little doubt that producers will have more flexibility with an open market. There will be more control over deliveries and cash flow and perhaps more ability to forward contract. Many producers who have long pushed for mar-

keting freedom will respond to that freedom by upping their acres at the expense of other crops. In durum, a big increase in acres will almost certainly lead to disappointing prices. Canada dominates the world export market for durum. With or without the single desk, we can overproduce and glut that market. Expect changes in the grain handling system. There will be mergers and takeovers and new players in the market, but there should still be a place for the smaller players including farmer-owned elevators. Just look at the U.S. where there are lots of elevators owned by farmer co-ops. We may see more companies and elevator points that specialize. Rather than buying everything from canola to wheat to peas, an elevator might deal exclusively in malting barley or a particular class of wheat. We’re going to see a lot of changes, some good and some not, and some that no one anticipated. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

s it time to grow the farm? In a recent conference call, agriculture managers at the Bank of Montreal and Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, discussed the opportunities and challenges facing farmers. All three panel members were quite positive about the immediate future: BMO’s forecast for agriculture in 2012 is growth of two percent. The forecast includes strong commodity prices but challenges coming from high input costs and a high Canadian dollar. Opportunities for farmers include increasing economies of scale and embracing technological advances. Economies of scale is also known as bigger is better. Whether you agree with that philosophically, there’s certainly a strong argument to be made that larger farms can weather storms — climatic or financial — more easily than smaller farms. If you believe that’s true, is this a good time to expand, considering the height of land prices (and rents)? It depends on whether you also believe the following: • Export markets will grow, so that Canadian food will reach the stomachs of people living in countries where populations are soaring. There are significant hurdles, the panel noted, among them that pork and beef are still not getting to South Korea and Japan, both important markets, and that some importers remain sensitive about GMO levels. • Interest rates will remain low for the foreseeable future. Considering the economic news out of the European Union, it’s quite likely that rates will not spike for some time. Indeed, rates fell slightly in Europe last week. Even the economic news in Canada is not entirely stellar, with the loss of 54,000 full-time jobs in October. Bonnett warned farmers to keep a close eye on capital costs in case interest rates spike. • Commodity prices will remain strong. Prices are good, but there has been substantial volatility this year, as well as in inputs, which jumped 20 percent over the growing season. • Research funding will improve. • Rents are high. Glen Snyder, BMO agriculture manager for Saskatchewan, said with the rent increases in the last two years, it might make more sense to buy land rather than rent it, if it cash flows. To buy or not to buy. That is the question in 2011. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

BIG LOSSES To the Editor: The announcement of a pasta plant built because of the Canadian Wheat Board dismantlement means all farmers have lost their market of best prices for their production. The corporate wish to decouple the market has come about. What decoupling means is there will no longer be a market price; the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; income to come from government payments, off-farm income and contract sales of product at corporate discretion. The corporation will be getting raw materials at as close to zero price as possible. In the past, Cargill has stated that its goal was to influence the demise of the CWB to allow this to happen. Farmers will be taken back to the oldfashioned market owned by the multi-nationals whereby farmers signed contracts prior to seeding crops, prices, quantity, quality and delivery time set by the corporationâ&#x20AC;Ś. If he cannot deliver quantity and quality, he must purchase for that corporation the quantity and quality from the market at the price at time of delivery. For instance, if delivery was not possible after conaccess=subscriber section=opinion,letters,none

tracting at a price of $3 per bushel, he would have to pay that corporation $6 per bu. at the agreed delivery date. Destination grading and delivery payment would apply and if the market price on delivery date were only $2 per bu., all the corporation would have to do is downgrade the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grain to get it at the lower $2 per bu. price. Yes, farmers will have their freedom to sell to whomever they wish when the wheat board is gone, but where is the freedom when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost ownership of your marketing board with the corporations now owning all of the market? Using basic Grade 6 mathematics, and the amount of money I got on wheat board payments alone on my own farm, the losses to each community would be from $250,000 to $1 million per year when we lose the CWB single desk pooling system. We should be careful of what we wish for; it could cost us dearly in the end. R. E. Kennedy, Simpson, Sask.

IDEOLOGY To the Editor: I agree with Dianne McCollumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viewpoint in the Sept. 29 Western Producer letters. The reality of the Conservative government is they act on ideology only. They are transferring income to business from farmers. They are trampling peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights in the name of economic well-being. I watch as they legislate postal workers back to work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crown corporation, so we think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. Next they do it to airline employees. Private sector, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done to keep our fragile economy moving. There may be some truth in it. But we are largely silent. More rights being violated. This issue deserves more debate

than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting. This countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s democracy is being usurped and we say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in the name of freedom. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run an election on this issue. Maybe the Occupy Wall Street protesters are onto something. Let the debate begin. Ed Benjamins, Moorefield, Ont.

NO COMMUNISTS HERE To the Editor: In a recent letter to the editor, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz stated that every cousin or organization of the Canadian Wheat Board such as the Communist Party of Canada were fully represented at the CWB meetings held across Western Canada. I attended the CWB meetings at Regina and Dauphin. At neither place was the Communist party officially represented. It seems that the honourable Gerry Ritz has very little respect for truth and accuracy. In time immemorial there have been people who lusted and schemed for power, control and wealth. The means used to acquire them were of little concern. George E. Hickie, Waldron, Sask.

(raises the question of whether) claims about better U.S. prices were the result of subsidies.Â â&#x20AC;Ś In reality, the Yanks have talked about removing their subsidies for almost 40 years.Â It was not very long ago that the Canadian shills for the private grain trade and railways managed to convince Ottawa we should end the Crow rate. One of their promises was U.S. subsidies would end. With the Crow gone, farmers paid more, and we lost thous a n d s o f e l e v at o r s. T h e Ya n k s responded by putting in longer-term and bigger subsidies.Â The same Canadian Astroturf groups are now saying we need to end the Canadian Wheat Board in return for reduced U.S. subsidies.Â History certainly shows this is a naĂŻve hope.Â And a little common sense will tell you the Yanks will not end what amounts to a trivial cost to their government just because some rubes in Canada think they will.Â To put that $5 billion US into perspective, it amounts to less than three days spending on the U.S. military.Â Why would any U.S. administration save what amounts to pocket change and annoy an important domestic lobby group?Â It makes me think people like the Grain Growers of Canada who take this stuff seriously should not be allowed out alone at night.Â Â Ken Larsen, Benalto, Alta.

SUBSIDY QUESTIONS LACK OF CREDIBILITY To the Editor: The article by Brian Cross on some farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; impressions of grain marketing on both sides of the border (Farmer sees pros, cons, to both marketing systems, WP Sept. 29) was worth reading.Â (However), the article on page 32 that week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obama determined to end $5 billion U.S. farm subsidy,â&#x20AC;?

To the Editor: Government shooting first, asking questions later in C WB debate (Barry Wilson, WP Aug. 18) refers to prime minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on the Canadian Wheat Board issue. He does not feel the need to sit down with the farmer elected board, pays no heed to the director elec-

tions where eight of the 10 elected board members were board supporters. As prime minister, he can violate section 47.1 of the Canadian Wheat Board Act, where it is stated f a r m e r s a re t o h av e a v o t e o n changes to board rules. He refers to the recent CWB vote as a fraud, so there is no respect for the farmer voters. Mr. Harper could easily obtain board information; he could examine the transcripts of the U.S.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14 challenges, accusing the board of price distortions. All 14 were won by the board. Should be good information for an economist. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget this prime minister was found guilty of contempt of Parliament. Is Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal with 40 percent of the popular vote a mandate for him to disregard democracy and put in place a dictatorship? His declaration that he would walk over anyone who got in his way is frightening. I shudder to think of what would be before us should he have 60 percent of the popular vote. Then there is (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz, who refused to avail himself of any information of the CWB board or from farmers who live in the system and support the same. I understand Mr. Ritz was engaged in an ostrich operation whereby farmers compete with one another for sales and prices. It did not prove to be a financial success, is the word. Now he has the gall to promote that grain farmers adopt the same type of marketing. Lack of credibility. A. J. Leahy, Fort. St. John, B.C.

OPEN FORUM comeback.” It is interesting that the National Cattle Feeders Association chair wants to blame the Canadian Wheat Board for low acres and low price. Feed barley and feed wheat in Canada do not have to be sold through the CWB. It can be, and I have sold feed barley and wheat at a premium price through the CWB on many occasions. Bill Jameson (chair of the National Cattle Feeders Association) also states that another reason for low barley acres and pr ices is that young farmers don’t want to deal with the CWB. If there is such a shortage of feed barley, then the open market should be paying a premium price, and the open market is not doing that, so don’t blame the CWB. As a matter of fact, most days the open market for barley has not changed in price and most days there are no bids. Go figure. When farm groups like the cattle feeders association pushed to get rid of the Crow rate, they floated the idea that grain farmers would have real high feed grain prices. Some months there were hardly any bids for barley. When prices started to rise, feedlots and pig barns then imported cheap subsidized corn from the United States. The end of the CWB’s monopoly will only mean more profits for multinational grain companies and that profit will come out of the pockets of western Canadian grain farmers. (Prime minister Stephen) Harper and (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz under the CWB Act are to give the farmer a fair vote on the future of the CWB monopoly. Why no fair vote? The federal and Saskatchewan governments know that the majority of farmers who market their wheat and barley through their marketing agency, the CWB, want the monopoly. So what the g ov e r n m e n t s h av e d o n e i s n o democratic vote (plebiscite) for farmers. Is that democracy? Maybe in a third world country. David Bailey, Saskatoon, Sask.

LAKE WINNIPEG FIRST To the Editor: Re: Man. agriculture economy in hands of elected officials (WP Editorial, Oct. 20) It’s a terrible shame and insulting that the Manitoba Pork Council and the hog producing industry can only whine when decisive action is finally being taken by the province to protect our most important and vital resource — water, and particularly, Lake Winnipeg. The fact is the hog industry, encouraged by the most stringent regulations that the province had to offer, simply couldn’t stop growing. Now, however, the government has finally come to the conclusion that there has to be meaningful regulations, enforcement and much better manure management… Such an action should have been implemented many years ago. Environmentalists and thousands of Manitobans have been asking — no, pleading — for tougher measures for years, and unrelenting, they have been warning about the hog manure waste pollution and consequences to Lake Winnipeg and our Manitoba waters. Treating the cause(s) is the right way to achieve success, and it now seems that the government has come to the same conclusion and is determined to act. The future of our Manitoba waterways are at stake. The editorial mentions that hog barns create a small part of agriculture phosphorus; crop fertilization is by far the bigger source. While crop commercial fertilization does represent a larger portion of phosphorus application, the 2005 Interim Report by the Lake Winnipeg Stewardship Board tells us that the increase in fertilizer application has generally been matched by an increase in crop removal of nitrogen and phosphorus; therefore, fertilizer and crop removal of these nutrients is generally balanced. There are businesses that have a vested interest in supporting the hog industry. Defending those interests, however, will not help reduce the pollution situation.

Is it hog industry economics vs. the health of Lake Winnipeg? Think about your answer very carefully before you commit a response. Lake Winnipeg is not polluting itself. John Fefchak, Virden, Man.

MEATLESS MONDAY To the Editor: Re: Meatless Monday initiative won’t affect global warming, WP Oct. 13.

dence concerning the negative impacts of meat production. Dragging up Frank Mitloehner’s lo n e ly cr iticism o f th e U nited Nations’ estimate that animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of global greenhouse gases sadly smacks of clutching at straws. You failed to mention that Mitloehner’s analysis had no impact on the UN re p o r t ’s co nclu sio ns. A s a U N spokesperson later publicly stated: “We stand entirely behind the 18 percent figure.” It is equally silly to get out your calculator and divide Mitloehner’s figures by seven to belittle the potential climate change impact of giving up meat on Monday. The Meatless Monday idea is merely one figurehead in a broad movement toward plant-based diets. It’s not just about a particular day of the week. It’s about a growing trend to reduce meat consumption because of environmental,

health or animal welfare concerns — legitimate concerns raised by credible science. There are plenty of other studies raising alarms about the impact of meat consumption and production. Most recently, an international study led by McGill University found that a shift away from meat production would actually increase the amount of food available for human consumption, as so much land is wasted on growing crops to feed livestock. You can try to laugh off ideas like Meatless Mondays, but the downsides of meat production and overconsumption are real. The public is beginning to recognize this and it is foolish to pretend they don’t. Peter Fricker, Projects and Communications Director, Vancouver Humane Society, Vancouver, B.C.

LAND | FARMING IN THE BIBLE

An agrarian reading of the Bible is inspirational SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

‘Our relationship to our land will always remain to a significant extent mysterious.’

he Bible has far more to do with agriculture than we may think. In her book Scripture, Culture and Agriculture, Ellen Davis points out that Amos and Hosea may have been the first agrarian writers in history. Genesis shows “the God-given diversity of the Earth and the human access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

role in maintaining it,” while God granted Ezekiel a vision of life on the far side of “disaster.” The bulk of the book defines how the people of Israel were expected to relate to the land, but these truths are carefully interlinked with what contemporary agricultural leaders and writers are saying. Wendell Berry, Norman Wirzba and others are often quoted, along with passages from numerous reports on world conferences connected with food scarcity, biodiversity and land sustainability. Davis speaks often about the land’s connection with the city. “The common biblical metaphor for the relationship between the city and its surrounding villages is that of a mother and her daughters. It connotes mutual belonging, affection, benefit and need.” She says in the industrial economy such as we now have, “there is no such thing as enough… Life is bru-

tally hard for most farm people. They are ensnared in political and economic systems designed to extract their produce and leave them barely enough to survive.” But the manna story shows us how to think of a way out from under this burden. What a rich resource this is for anyone seeking to understand how strong relationships can be developed between land, community and God. In the introduction, Wendell Berry writes: “Our relationship to our land will always remain to a significant extent mysterious. Therefore our use of it must be determined more by reverence and humility, by local memory and affection.” Davis’s book brings understanding where there has often been deep misunderstanding.

PULSES | ACQUISITIONS

German grain giant buys Sask. pulse processor Toepfer buys Western Grain Trade | As well, Alliance Grain Traders buys pulse processing company in North Dakota BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The pattern of mergers and acquisitions continues in the pulse industry. Germany’s largest grain trader has bought a North Battleford, Sask., pulse icon. And Canada’s largest lentil processor has added another asset in North Dakota. Alfred C. Toepfer International has purchased Western Grain Trade Ltd. and Western Grain Cleaning & Processing Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Toepfer, which is majority owned by Archer Daniels Midland, has been operating as a grain trader in Canada since 1974 but this is its first foray into the grain processing sector in this country. Toepfer Canada president Lawrence Yakielashek said the purchase allows the company to better meet the needs of its customers who want to know more about their food. “I can envision in a couple of years from now where some of the end users are going to want to know exactly what parcel of land that product came from. Now we have the ability to do that,” he said. The sale includes Western Grain’s two North Battleford processing

Lentils are among the crops processed at the North Battleford, Sask., plant recently purchased by Alfred C. Toepfer International. | FILE PHOTO plants, which process peas, lentils, canaryseed, mustard and flax and the Saskatoon sales and accounting office. All 18 employees are keeping their jobs. “Everything that we’ve acquired stays intact. We’re not going to make any fundamental changes to the operation. In fact, we’re going to add some value to it. We’re going to put a

little bit of money into the operation to make it more efficient,” said Yakielashek. Heidi Dutton, general manager for Western Grain, said the deal gives the North Battleford firm the ability to grow its business by gaining access to Toepfer’s 38 branch offices around the world. “We want to do more volumes by access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

using a first class worldwide network to distribute the grain,” she said. Western Grain has excess capacity at its two plants, where the company has been processing special crops since 1990 and exporting them around the world since 1999. The company will be adding a few new crops to the mix including canola and possibly some board grains in the post single desk environment. “We’re obviously not doing it right now but I definitely wouldn’t rule it out,” said Dutton. “We’re definitely open to and excited about the possibility of handling more products through our elevators.” On the same day Toepfer made its announcement, Alliance Grain Traders Inc. issued a news release

saying it had acquired the assets of a pulse processing plant in Minot, North Dakota. The facility was never completed or commissioned by the previous owners, C & F Foods Inc., Real Partner Investments LLC and MCL Ag Investments Partnership LLP. The sale includes the main building, storage facilities and processing equipment that is ready for installation. Alliance has set aside $12 million to buy the assets and finish the project by installing the pulse processing equipment and adding additional capacity to create food ingredients out of the pulses, such as flours, proteins, starches and fibres for the North American and European markets. “This facility is all about firming up our North American capacity and moving up the value chain with a focus on pulse ingredients and beans for the food sector,” said Alliance president Murad Al-Katib. “ The fact that the building is already built, the storage is constructed and the equipment is ready for installation gives us a timing advantage and means it will be ready for the 2012 harvest season.” The new plant augments Alliance’s existing processing capacity at its facility in Williston, N.D. Dutton expects more of these types of announcements in Western Canada’s grain sector going forward. “The mergers and the acquisitions in the grain world are going to continue and need to continue so that the industry becomes more efficient,” she said. Yakielashek said Toepfer isn’t looking at making any other purchases at this time but it will explore opportunities.

POVERTY | HUNGER BATTLE

Rural food bank use likely higher than reported National use down slightly | Many rural residents prefer to drive to a city to use a food bank to avoid neighbour scrutiny BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Last March, when local food banks last reported national use figures to Food Banks Canada, they said more than 114,000 rural Canadians lined up for a meal that month. It represented just 13 percent of national food bank use but a national food banks official says that figure likely understates the real extent of rural food needs. “There are special challenges for folks looking for assistance in rural areas,” Food Banks Canada executive director Katharine Schmidt said in a Nov. 3 interview from Toronto. “They face the challenge of is there a food bank around and then the challenge of going to ask for help when a neighbour may see them.” Hunger advocates also suggest that many rural hungry prefer to drive to city food banks where they can have more anonymity and less chance of being recognized but therefore become part of the urban total. Schmidt said one striking note about rural food bank use is that rural residents receiving help are more than twice as likely as urban residents to own their own homes. And rural food banks also often are under-resourced.

BEES | EDUCATION

Beekeeper course returns BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A popular beekeeping course is returning to the Grande Prairie Regional College’s Fairview campus after a 10-year absence. The commercial beekeeping certificate program will be the first beekeeping program in Canada and will relaunch in January. The program will train students to be apiary assistants, field supervisors with commercial beekeeping operations, technicians with government departments and self-employed beekeepers. Rodrigo Mendez of the Alberta Beekeepers Commission said the organization is looking forward to a new crop of beekeepers entering the industry. “This is a rapidly evolving industry and having this course will give the opportunity for new people with different backgrounds to enter this vibrant industry with new ideas and points of view,” he said. “This course will re-invigorate the industry and keep Alberta beekeepers at the forefront of beekeeping.” The program will accept up to 12 students for the 45-week program, which includes 26 weeks of paid work at a commercial beekeeping operation. Alberta is the third-largest honey producer in North America and accounts for 40 percent of honeybees in Canada. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

“There aren’t the food drives and access to the corporate resources of urban centres,” she said. “Rural food banks are often stretched the most when it comes to resources and the ability to meet the demand.” Rural food bank figures were part of Food Banks Canada’s annual HungerCount report that calculated more than 850,000 Canadians received a meal from a food bank in March, down slightly from 2010 figures but still 26 percent higher than before the recession in 2008. “We believe that in 2011, we will see 1.9 million people visiting a food bank in Canada,” said Schmidt. “These are shocking numbers in a country as rich as Canada.” Almost 40 percent last year were under age 18. As it does every year, Food Banks Canada called on governments to develop an anti-poverty strategy that includes more affordable housing and more generous Employment Insurance benefits for older unemployed Canadians. The FBC official said that of the 850,000 Canadians who asked for food bank help in March, 90,000 had never been there before. “Clearly, despite talks of job creation, many people are struggling.” Broken down into provinces, the

FBC report shows that Alberta is one of the worst performing provinces with a decline in food bank use of just one percent compared to almost nine percent in Saskatchewan and four percent in Manitoba. Inflated living costs because of the economic boom have made it difficult for many Albertans, including the working poor, to cover their living costs and buy adequate food. The FBC report said the national numbers show that while the economy has rebounded from its recessionary depths, “there appears to be a stubborn limit to how low the need for assistance can fall.” Schmidt said the rise in food bank n e e d s i n c e 2 0 0 8 ha s n o t b e e n matched by increased donations and resources to food banks. Many have had to reduce how much food they can give each person or how many times they can receive food. “Canadians remain generous but resources have not kept up with demand and many food banks are really stretched,” she said. Schmidt noted that Canadians are generous in donating to overseas food crises. “It is really important for Canadians to know that there is a need right here at home that often is not being met.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ANIMAL HEALTH | VETERINARY DRUGS

Animal drug firms take aim at own-use imports Organization calls for end to policy | Producers argue they need access to American drugs to stay competitive BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — Canada needs to put the brakes on livestock producers importing veterinary products for use on their own farms, a conference heard in Toronto in early November. Known as own-use importation, livestock producers may apply to bring in various pharmaceutical products. Better controls are needed because some products could be untested, unsafe or contribute to the growing

problem of antimicrobial resistance, said the president of the Canadian Animal Health Institute. It represents companies that develop, manufacture and distribute animal health products including pharmaceuticals, biologics, feed additives and animal pesticides in Canada. “Other countries do not allow, or have such open, liberal policies relative to importation for own-use and particularly relevant to food animals,” said Jean Szkotnicki at a recent Toronto conference discussing prudent antibiotic use.

“These loopholes should be cancelled. Stay tuned, we are still working on it,” she said. Products can be purchased directly through mail order or through the internet. Border control officers do not necessarily know what “own use” means and products could end up in the wrong hands. Sales have probably slowed in recent years because the Canadian currency is on par with the United States. However, these imports continue to represent a sizeable portion

of the pharmaceutical trade. An international 2007 report found imported products were worth about $100 million per year, or about a third of the total value of the licensed Canadian pharmaceutical market. Producers argue innovation needs to be supported and if red meat is to be competitive they need the same access to the same tools as their competitors. However, some commodities have voluntarily stopped the practice.

discourage the use of own-use imports. Veterinary drugs are not necessarily developed for Canada because it represents only about two percent of the international market. Products are developed in a global context and Canada needs the tools for the licensing of these products, admitted Szkotnicki. Part of the problem was Canadian rules around limiting sales of cheaper, generic products. “We had technical requirements that prohibited generics from coming into the marketplace. There are new guidelines for generic drugs and that has meant that we have more generic products in the Canadian market but even generics found it hard to compete against the U.S.,” she said in an interview. Government knows there is room for improvement and the Veterinary Drugs Directorate within Health Canada is pressing for tighter regulations to ensure antibiotics are only distributed with a prescription. All newly approved drugs are prescription use only and the directorate plans to extend that requirement for pharmaceuticals approved before 2004, said Manisha Mehrotra of the directorate. “We do not want a parallel system where there are approved drugs and own-use imports,” Mehrotra said. Quebec is the one province where drugs are only provided by prescription. Further work is needed to address the problems within the expanding sheep, goat and aquaculture groups. There are few approved products for sheep and fish and none for goats, although veterinarians can provide medications under the extra label provision. Szkotnicki said these groups need a minor use office funded through the federal Growing Forward program to get specific products approved in Canada. In the field, prescriptions are not always in place and appropriate measures are not always taken to make sure a particular product is appropriate, said veterinarian Duane Landals. Nor is anyone sure about the extent these products are used. Records are not well kept on farms or in vet clinics and not all the products marketed demonstrate good stewardship. “I can’t say that all products are distributed through appropriate channels,” said Landals, registrar with the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association. The federal and provincial governments must agree to make the appropriate regulatory changes before an accident happens. “How do we get to the point where everyone wants to make this change? I hope there is no human health disaster before government acts,” he said.

Tammy Wagner, senior grain inspector with Rahr Malting Canada, takes a closer look at a sample. She is looking for foreign material, staining and to see if it’s the correct variety. Wagner doubts if this sample will be accepted. The protein is too high, the plumpness too low and it has a lot of staining. Despite that, this year’s samples are substantially better than last year’s barley. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTOS

MALTING BARLEY | PLANT EXPANDS

Malt expansion pleases farmers Rahr Malting Canada | Producers say more storage capacity will make delivery easier BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ALIX, Alta. — The invitation of federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz to the sod turning of an Alberta malt plant attracted more than just wellwishers. About 16 Canadian Wheat Board supporters held signs and walked in front of the entrance of the Rahr Malting Canada plant at Alix Nov. 1. to publicize their concerns over the dismantling of the board’s monopoly powers. “We think the Canadian Wheat Board adds value to our grain,” said K e n E s h p e t e r, a f a r m e r f r o m Daysland, Alta., and chief executive officer of Battle River Railway. Inside the fenced Rahr Malting plant compound, Ritz said ending the wheat board’s single desk will encourage more value added expansion, such as the $6 million barley storage facility that Rahr is planning. “More storage capacity here at Rahr means more business for our farmers,” said Ritz. No federal money was announced for the plant. After his appearance in Alix, Ritz met with Alberta grain industry representatives in Leduc about marketing options. Rahr Malting president William Rahr said increasing storage capacity for malting barley from 400,000 bushels to 1.2 million bu. won’t increase production, but it is a neces-

sary step to ensure a steady supply of malt throughout the year. Bob Sutton, vice-president of sales and logistics, said the additional storage is the first step needed for an expansion if there is a greater call for malting barley. “This is a step that will allow that to happen when markets turn around,” he said. “We’re not planning any malt house expansion just yet. We need the entire economy to turn around and more beer consumption first.” Western Barley Growers Association president Brian Otto said removing the wheat board filter will allow farmers to receive clear signals from malting companies on what to grow. It may also reverse the decline in barley production. “I see the barley industry growing,” he said. “This is good for western Canadian agriculture, it’s good for the western Canadian processing industry and good for the western Canadian economy and at the end of the day it’s good for Canada.” Seed grower and malting barley grower Mark Koun of Penhold, Alta., said the storage facility expansion will allow barley producers to supply Rahr in the off season rather than having to deliver during the busy harvest season. “It’s a local facility so my freight costs are low,” he said. “I can get my cheques here at the door. I don’t have to wait.” access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Scientific research is expected to yield new wheat genes to provide this breakthrough. Mike Bonman, a plant researcher with the Small Grains and Potato Germplasm Research Unit in Aberdeen, Idaho, has been screening more than 3,000 wheat landraces. Landraces are varieties that have been selected by farmers over the centuries and are usually adapted to specific ecosystems. He has found several hundred varieties that show great potential against stem rust. But the age of the varieties prevents their immediate use in modern wheat production, said Bonman. He said the ancient lines tend to grow too tall or mature too late for modern use. Bonman believes the discoveries are significant because their genetic properties have potential to lead to a long-term breakthrough in the fight against Ug99. “We have a big task ahead of us to determine if these are novel genes or perhaps it is something we already know about,” said Bonman. “We test in the greenhouse … on seedlings and then we test in the fields in Kenya…. I would say it takes about another year to confirm resistance. “We want to provide plant breeders with not just a single gene but many resistant genes they can use to help combat this problem.” He said with pathogens like Ug99, it is important to have more than one resistant gene to achieve long-term resistance. Tom Fetch, a plant pathologist with Agriculture Canada, said western Canadian spring and durum wheat lines are resistant to stem rust strains common to North America. Fetch has been carrying out tests using Canadian wheat varieties to pinpoint specific varieties with potential for resistance to Ug99 and related strains. “I did 69 spring wheat lines in Western Canada and out of those 69, I have two cultivars that would be rated as very resistant to Ug99,” said Fetch. These two Ug99 resistant lines are from the AC Cadillac and Peace wheat varieties. Since its initial discovery in the East African countries of Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia, Ug99 or closely related strains have been reported in several other countries. It is feared that as the disease spreads, it will eventually affect wheat and barley crops in North America.

WHEAT BOARD | BOARD POLITICS

Former CWB director defends resignation Paints picture of polarized board | Jeff Nielsen was suspended earlier this year for criticizing information meetings BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ALIX, Alta. — Canadian Wheat Board director Jeff Nielsen said he saw no reason to remain on the board after he was suspended for writing an article criticizing the marketing agency. “With the next six weeks of being totally out of the loop, I thought, really, what was it worth?” Nielsen said Nov. 1, a day after he resigned from the board. “I have a lot better ability to speak as a n i n d i v i d u a l n ow t hat I hav e resigned than I did as a board member.” The board banned Nielsen from attending its November meeting after he wrote in an editorial that he believed meetings the CWB held across the Prairies this summer were not information meetings for farmers but a forum for special interest groups. He said the board argued that the article broke conflict of interest guidelines. “I don’t believe I broke any conduct guidelines, yet they brought me up on some items and banned me from the November board meeting, the only one we have left.” Nielsen said farmers in his district have phoned him since he resigned to support his decision. “Farmers are tired of the game this board of directors has been playing, spending their money without asking their permission for, fighting a fight farmers want to see resolved,”

he said. “All farmers I talked to who have expressed the same opinion: they want to move forward.” He said the government’s decision to eliminate the board’s single desk had stalled progress at the board table to develop better marketing programs. “We’re at a stalemate, we’re at loggerheads between the two groups,” he said during an expansion announcement at Rahr Malting in Alix. Nielsen was one of two farmer-

elected board members who supported a voluntary CWB. The other, Henry Vos, resigned in late October over the board’s decision to fight the federal government’s proposed CWB changes in court. Nielsen said the board had become polarized over the agency’s marketing monopoly and was no longer debating important issues. “In the last six months to a year, we haven’t really had those kind of discussions any more. The majority of the board, among themselves, came up with a decision, and some of

these meetings have been a rubber stamp of what they wanted to see go forward. They had the majority. To say we felt sidelined in the past year to a year and a half was quite evident.” He said board members should work with senior management to figure out how to survive in the new grain industry rather than fighting the government. “We could have been working more providing more options and programs within the grain system,” he said.

LIVESTOCK | INCREASING PHOSPHORUS LEVELS

Researchers crack low phytate soybean puzzle Less phytate means more phosphorus | Study shows reducing phytate levels doesn’t have to harm germination, emergence BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — U.S. researchers have made a breakthrough in their attempts to increase available phosphorus content in soybeans to improve animal nutrition. Reducing phytate is key to making more phosphorus available to livestock because it is the principle storage form of phosphorus in plant tissue but is indigestible for non-ruminants. The conventional belief has been that low phytate seeds have poorer

germination and emergence, but recent research is suggesting otherwise. A study published in Crop Science found that one modified soybean variety had better seedling field emergence than the control seeds, which had normal phytate and phosphorus values. The performance of this soybean line, developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, proves that it’s possible to improve seed germination and field emergence of crops of modified phosphorus soybeans.

“Based on our experience with the North Carolina line, soybean breeders working with the low-phytate trait now know that good seed germination and emergence is an attainable objective,” said Katy Martin Rainey, assistant professor of soybean breeding and genetics at Virginia Tech and one of the study’s authors. “Our study provides breeders with critical insights on how to do this.” Rainey said the total amount of phosphorus in the seeds is not increased. Instead, its allocation to different forms or molecules is altered, making more

phosphorus available. “The total phosphorus content is the same in the seeds of normal versus low phytate seeds, but low phytate soybean seeds have three times more inorganic phosphorus because there is an inverse relationship between the two,” she said. “Low phytate soybeans can be labelled modified phosphorus soybeans, or high inorganic phosphorus soybeans. (Another) label for low phytate soybeans is high bio-available phosphorus soybeans. For nonruminant animals, phytate is indiaccess=subscriber section=news,crops,none

gestible whereas inorganic phosphorus is easily digested and absorbed.” The team studied six varieties with modified phosphorus content and two with normal content. The studies were conducted in 12 environments in six locations over two years in the U.S. Midwest and southeast. The researchers recorded variations in the levels of total phosphorus, phytate and inorganic phosphorus content throughout the environments and variations in seedling emergence ranging from a mean of 45 to 96 percent. The results were attributed to variables in soil phosphorus content, soil type, soil temperature, moisture conditions, and possibly disease pressures. The study focused on soybeans, but other crops could also benefit. “The data are definitely applicable to other crops such as common bean and other grain legumes, barley and wheat if lower seed phytate is, or becomes, an objective for breeding in those species,” said Rainey. “The seedling emergence data are especially critical to defining the problem in other crops. The phosphorus content data are somewhat specific to soybean, though the information on variation over environments might be useful in other crops.” She said it can be a matter of debate whether lowering phytate reduces seed germination, field emergence and seedling vigour in species for which low phytate mutations have been identified. Low vigour is still the subject of research. “We are fairly certain that the problem of low vigour seedlings is often a byproduct of reducing phytate in seeds,” she said. “So in our study, the seedlings of most varieties had low vigour because they came from low phytate seeds produced by low phytate varieties. A focus of my research is to determine how to improve vigour in low phytate soybean seedlings. I am fairly certain it can be achieved because we have observed a low phytate soybean variety with high seedling emergence. I believe this can be done with crop breeding, by designing the appropriate crosses and by using various tools to select simultaneously for modified phosphorus content and excellent seedling vigour.” Rainey said researchers still face challenges. The biggest one is to identity preservation and market development, a problem common to all modified seeds. It is one thing to develop soybean cultivars with more perfect seed composition and agronomic performance, but much harder to segregate the special bean from the mass production of soybean seeds. It is also expensive to develop a m a rk e t f o r t h e s p e c i a l b e a n s, although it can be done if a trait is valuable enough. Rainey said high oleic soybean oil is a good example. It can be challenging to change animal feed formulations because the factories that produce the feed are large and factors that affect their bottom line are complex. It will be at least five years before modified seeds will be commercially available, although soybean breeders have access to the mutations.

PORT OF CHURCHILL | SEASONAL SHUTDOWN

Future of Canada’s Arctic port questioned in post CWB industry Last shipment sent | Canadian Wheat Board shipped 507,000 tonnes through the port last year, which is above the 10-year average

The Port of Churchill has loaded its last shipment of outgoing Canadian wheat for the year. The MV Champion Bay was loaded Oct. 31 and will carry 26,000 tonnes of spring wheat to West Africa. The Canadian Wheat Board shipped 507,000 tonnes of spring wheat and durum through the northern Manitoba port in 2011. That was down significantly from 600,000 tonnes of board grains shipped through Churchill in 2010 but still well above the 10-year average of 452,000 tonnes. The port loaded 16 vessels with Canadian wheat and durum in a season that began Aug. 3. The grain was bound for Europe, Africa and Latin America. Churchill, Canada’s only Arctic port, is located on Hudson Bay 1,000 kilometres north of Winnipeg. The port’s northerly location gives it a limited shipping season, usually three to four months in duration. The ice-free period usually runs from late July to early November. Grain shipped through the port is typically drawn from a catchment area that includes northeastern Saskatchewan and northern Manitoba. Shipping through the port is seen as a cost effective alternative to shipping through Thunder Bay, Ont., Vancouver or Prince Rupert, B.C. Wheat board spokesperson John Lyons said CWB grain constitutes an important component of the port’s overall business. “The CWB on average ships 90 to 95 percent of the grain that moves through Churchill,” he said. The future of the port has been a hotly debated issue in recent months. Board supporters say grain shipments through the port will drop significantly and port business will suffer if Parliament approves proposed legislative changes to the CWB’s mandate. Board chair Allen Oberg said the future of the northern port is bleak if the government carries through on plans to eliminate single desk marketing. “The CWB uses Churchill to save farmers money on transportation costs,” he said. “However, the economic equation changes if the CWB winds down and grain companies start exporting prairie wheat.… Their business models are … more focused on maximizing grain flow through their own port facilities. It is difficult to imagine why they’d choose to use Churchill.” OmniTrax managing director Mike Ogborn said the elimination of single desk grain marketing will present challenges but nothing that can’t be overcome through discussions. The U.S.-based company owns the Port of Churchill and the Hudson Bay Railway Company that runs from the Pas, Man., to Churchill. Ogborn said earlier this year that his company is preparing for what it considers an inevitable end to single desk marketing in Western Canada. Although many of Canada’s largest grain companies have their own port facilities, OmniTrax officials hope to attract new grain handling clients by presenting a sound business case for using the Churchill route. “For those companies that have (their own port) facilities, it will require having a business-like dis-

cussion and convincing them that moving a portion of their grain through the Port of Churchill is viable for them and is a good business decision,” Ogborn said. “And there are certainly other grain companies that don’t have those kinds of facilities that would also be potentially good partners for us. We’re exploring all of those avenues with all grain companies.” Bill C-18, the legislation that would end single desk grain marketing, c o n t a i n s p rov i s i o n s a i m e d a t addressing the potentially negative impact on Port of Churchill business: • Provide an economic incentive of

up to $5 million per year for five years to support ongoing shipments of grain, oilseeds and pulses through Churchill. • Provide $4.1 million over three years through Transport Canada to maintain port facilities during the transition from single desk marketing to an open market system. • Work with the Churchill Gateway Development Corp through Western Economic Diversification Canada to complete infrastructure improvements between now and 2015. • Consult with all stakeholders and explore steps that will enhance the future viability of the port and the community of Churchill.

OIL & GAS | SOFTER APPROACH

Petroleum industry seeks new ways to improve env New technology | Low impact pipelines lessen environmental footprint, ease complaints BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER, Alta. — Energy companies install 13,000 kilometers of pipelines in Alberta every year, affecting 40,000 acres of land. Farmland is taken out of production, forests are removed and wetlands and water courses are disturbed during construction of trenches and pipelines. Ongoing complaints to resource companies about loss of productivity and harm to the environment are common. “As a company, we knew we had problems,” Brennon Panchyshyn of Quicksilver Resources Canada told Alberta Synergy, a joint conference held in Red Deer for the last six years to improve communication between landowners and resource companies. “We had a ton of landowner complaints about winter pipeline construction. It was always a battle to work in the frozen soils and muddy conditions before spring seeding.” Panchyshyn, who has a background in environmental science, heard about a new Alberta government program researching low impact pipelines and improved environmental approaches for building roads and crossing water courses. He said in an interview that the program takes an open mind about new methods rather than installing traditional pipelines. It has improved the company’s dealings with the public, he added. “It went from being a couple thousand landowner complaints in the spring to hearing next to nothing,” he said. Doug Kulba of Alberta Environment said the Partners in Resource Excellence program has changed the government’s role from enforcement to collaboration for improved energy industry standards. “Our legislative requirements were never designed to help the industry be prosperous,” he said. Governments have historically not worked to solve problems. Instead, it looked to see who was in non-compliance and acted like the police when pursuing offenders. Companies were expected to meet minimum standards that were never adequate. Government departments worked with energy companies to set up the Evergreen Centre for resource excellence and innovation, a 14 acre site in northern Alberta to demonstrate new road building techniques, better ways to cross water courses and install pipelines. It can train staff and find improved methods that go beyond minimum standards. Working together, they developed new techniques to install pipelines with less impact. Specialized plows, ditchers and compaction equipment were invented to minimize the amount of land disturbance. Topsoil is salvaged and the new system uses precise depth control. Rights of way requirements have fallen to 10 metres from 15. Finding new ways to assuage public concerns as well as improve extraction and environmental performance are critical, said Dave Colyer, president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

ENERGY INDUSTRY FACTS • Total Canadian oil production is expected to grow from 2.8 million barrels per day in 2010 to 4.7 million in 2025. • Canada has proven oil reserves of more than 175 billion barrels, which are the third largest in the world. Although most of Canada’s crude oil production comes from Western Canada, 11 percent is produced in Atlantic Canada. • The Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, which underlies most of Alberta and parts of Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, is the main source of oil for the West. • Canada is the world’s sixth largest oil producing country. Future growth in oil production is expected to be primarily from the oil sands. • Canada is the world’s third largest producer of natural gas with average annual production of 6.4 trillion cubic feet.

He said the industry has not performed well in its talks with landowners, aboriginal groups and the public at large, who tend to distrust resource companies. He said there has to be broader public engagement in pipeline discussions, impacts on soil and water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change and the role of the oil and gas industry in society and the economy. “It can’t be the industry telling people what it believes is right,” Colyer said. “It has got to be a dialogue and we have to find ways to find common ground.” Public attitudes are changing as

decisions. “The level of energy literacy in Canada, even in Alberta, is relatively low.”

RED DEER — It seemed as if energy companies could drill anywhere and the black gold would flow when they first began searching for oil. Many of those easy-to-access reservoirs have now been depleted and companies are using hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” to remove gas and oil from rock and coal. The technology was first used in Oklahoma in 1949, said Mike Dawson, president of the Canadian Society for Unconventional Resources. Unconventional resources are gas and oil found in difficult to access reservoirs, including shale gas, coal bed methane, tight oil, tight gas and gas hydrates found in the Arctic or offshore. “We have hundreds of years of resource potential available to us using current technology at our current consumption rate,” he said. “The question is not how much gas or oil we have, but how do we get it out of the ground economically and to the benefit of all Canadians.” The resource is found in sedimentary rocks such as shale, limestone and coal, which hold the molecules between the layers as tightly as the pages of a phone book. Fracturing technology opens the pages and release the resource to the well bore. Fluid such as water or gas such as nitrogen are pumped underground, creating pressure that breaks the rock. A proppant material such as sand or ceramic bead is used to keep the fracture open. Fracking requires considerable power and pressure underground. Landowners complain about groundwater contamination, gas migration and earth tremours. Conflicts occur. Dawson said fracking does not causes problems with gas flow or water pollution. Most problems are

GAS FACTS • The Alberta Geological Survey of Alberta estimates there could be as much as 14 trillion cubic metres of coal bed methane in Alberta coal. By comparison, Alberta has 5.7 to 7.1 trillion cubic metres of conventional natural gas. • Shale gas refers to natural gas, mainly methane, found in finegrained, organic-rich rocks, such as gas shales. • Shale does not refer to a specific type of rock. Instead, it describes rocks with more fine-grained particles than coarse-grained particles. They include shale (fissile) and mudstone (nonfissile); siltstone; fine-grained sandstone interlaminated with shale or mudstone; and carbonate rocks. • Gas-prone shale may be associated with other resources, such as tight gas and coal bed methane in areas where shale is interbedded with coal. • Gas shales are source rocks that have not released all of their generated hydrocarbons. • In gas shale, shale is a reservoir, source rock and trap for natural gas. The natural gas found in these rocks is considered unconventional, similar to coal bed methane. Source: Canadian Assoc. of Petroleum Producers

linked to improper oil or gas well construction. “There have been some unfortunate incidents, no question about it, where a company has done poor well construction to isolate those shallow groundwater horizons from what they are doing deeper down,” he said. “Gas molecules will take the path of least resistance if there is a pathway from the reservoir up the groundwater horizon.” A properly constructed well consists of concrete casings to protect groundwater. “I can’t say we are 100 percent clean on this because there are companies that will take short cuts,” Dawson said. The industry must create an environment of technical diligence to prevent these infractions, he added. “The public is much more engaged and informed about oil and gas activities, so the regulator must engage in more public dialogue than in the past,” he said. “We need to be doing better than what we have been doing in the past. We need to be squeaky clean because that is what society demands.”

Horse owners encouraged Recent outbreak a wake-up call | Workshops developed to teach horse BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Alberta Equestrian Federation and the Alberta Veterinary Medicine Association have developed a workshop to teach horse owners risk assessment and ways to make improvements. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTO

An outbreak of equine herpes last spring that exposed more than 400 cutting horses at a competition showed the importance of improved biosecurity practices among owners and handlers. Infectious diseases are common and horses are at greater risk of exposure because they are mobile, said Ashley Whitehead of the University of Calgary’s veterinary faculty, where she specializes in large animal inter-

nal medicine. Whitehead is also a member of the team teaching horse owners about biosecurity in co-operation with the Alberta Equestrian Federation and Alberta Veterinary Medicine Association. “We tend to get a little bit lax in what we do to protect our animals,” she said at a recent Calgary workshop. “Our herpes outbreak this year was a good thing in some ways because it brought it back to the forefront.

hand washing back to the forefront for our horse owners to think about that.” The course is designed to help horse owners prevent disease and assess potential health risks at their farms or when they travel with their animals. It explains disease cycles, asks specific questions about management and suggests changes. “You don’t have to live in a bubble, but you have to learn to understand and manage the risks,” she said. Viruses, bacteria and parasites can cause disease and often strike old, young and less healthy animals. Horses often spread disease with a cough when bacteria or viruses scatter in the vapour. However, the most common problem occurs when horses touch each other. “That nose to nose contact is a perfect area to pass one thing to the next horse,” she said. An established biosecurity plan starts at the farm as well as at shows and competitions: • Keep vaccines up to date. Many barns and events require proof of this. High level events may include horses from around the world with different levels of immunity so the animals may have to be kept separate to avoid passage of new disease. • Establish a disease response plan with the vet that is specific to the farm. Keep health records of individuals. Follow a vaccination program that is specific to the horse and the herd. If one is vaccinated the rest can still get sick, but risk is lower if most are vaccinated. Contact the vet if a disease occurs and follow the advice. • Establish zones of control on the farm. Consider who is allowed to enter certain areas of the barns and what are the critical control points on the farm. Many facilities allow the public to move freely about the place, which could be a risk factor. A visitor log that everyone signs can be helpful in tracking disease or warning people if a problem occurs. • Quarantine new arrivals and returning horses for three weeks, which is the most common incubation period for most diseases. • Isolating horses is the ideal but is not always practical, said Whitehead. She suggested setting aside a stall at one end of the alley where the horse cannot touch the others. Use separate buckets and muck out that stall last. • Keep the show string separate from the brood mares. • Design a manure management plan. Ideally it should be composted to kill parasites. Horses may be reinfected If manure is spread over the pasture. If possible, rotate the pastures so other species graze it for a year. • Participate in traceability programs. • Use individual water buckets from the farm and avoid communal sources at events. Contaminated equipment such as wheelbarrows for clearing away manure may be shared at an event and spread dis-

WORLD IN BRIEF INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

Grain markets remain tight MILAN, Italy (Reuters) — Agricultural commodity markets are set to remain tight with prices high and volatile despite improved supply and weakening demand growth, the United Nations’ food agency said, raising its estimates of global grain output in 2011. Global food prices have fallen in the last few months helped by improved crops but remained high and subject to swings in unstable financial and equity markets, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization said in its food outlook. “In spite of improved supply prospects and weakening demand, agricultural commodity market conditions remain fairly tight, which is the major factor underpinning prices…. The general picture still points to firm markets well into 2012,” the FAO said in the report. “Letting international markets continue in their present state, volatile and unpredictable, will only aggravate an already grim outlook for world food security,” the FAO said. World food prices, measured by FAO, hit an 11-month low in October, due to sharp falls in grains, sugar and other farm commodities, the agency said.

ments, their main competitor, but traders noted that exports held up better than expected in the early part of the season due to resilient demand for European grain from its traditional importers. Whether Europe retains these buyers in North and West Africa or cedes them to cheap Black Sea wheat as it has in the top wheat market, Egypt, will depend on its capacity to compete on price with the onslaught from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Black Sea wheat has also priced the United States, the world’s top exporter of the grain, out of some markets, with U.S. wheat currently not even bid in Egypt’s tenders, even if Argentina has emerged as a potential competitor in recent tenders. Russia, which was first out of the gate among Black Sea producers this year after the lifting of an export

ban imposed last year during a catastrophic drought, is set to keep up its onslaught. The next few months are likely to see high shipments from Russia, though they will ease after regular monthly records since the export ban ended on July 1. Unlike Russia, Ukraine, which plans to harvest up to 53 million tonnes of grain in 2011 and to export about 27 million tonne in 2011-12, is expected to raise shipments volumes in the coming months. It has exported only 3.84 million tonnes of grain so far this season against 4.8 million in the same period a season earlier. The decline has forced Kiev to cancel grain export duties, imposed in July. Mykola Vernitsky, director of ProAgro think-tank, believes that Ukraine may export eight to nine million tonnes of wheat in 2011-12. Kazakhstan, which officially

expects a crop of at least 22 to 23 million tonnes of grain mainly wheat, can potentially export more than 15 million tonnes this season if it finds enough railway cars to carry grain to ports. “By January-February Russia will exhaust its stocks of high quality grain, which then may be found in Kazakhstan,” said Nurlan Mukhamedzhanov, deputy head of Kazagromarketing, an arm of the state agricultural holding, KazAgro. FINANCIAL RESULTS

ADM trading revenue rises, profit slumps U.S. agribusiness Archer Daniels Midland Co. boosted trading revenue last quarter, navigating choppy markets better than its rivals, but

saw its profit slump on soaring corn prices and poor oilseed processing margins. While volatile markets tripped up competitors Cargill and Bunge in the global grains trade, ADM reported its grain merchandising and handling profits more than doubled as exports from the drought-hit Black Sea region resumed after a yearlong hiatus. Cargill and Bunge reported weakerthan-expected quarterly results last month as global economic uncertainty and euro zone debt worries whipsawed markets and many commodities saw their most turbulent period since the financial crisis. ADM’s strong performance came even as its export volumes from the United States, the world’s largest grain supplier and home base for ADM, were lower, highlighting a recent string of investments and acquisitions in Eastern Europe and Asia.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Agrium posts strong third quarter TORONTO — Agrium reported a more than threefold increase in its quarterly profit Nov. 3 on gains in its retail business, but its shares fell two percent as sales volumes at its wholesale fertilizer business were weaker than expected. Calgary-based Agrium said its retail business was lifted in the third quarter by higher sales and gains from acquisitions. At its wholesale business, sales rose on higher prices for nitrogen, phosphate and potashbased nutrients, but sales volumes were weaker than some analysts had expected. The company said volumes were lower because strong sales in June resulted in a drop in inventory at the start of the quarter. Volumes were also hit by subdued buying by some distributors and retailers, and by lower nitrogen production volumes in the period. Agrium, which owns the biggest farm-products retail network in North America, said that recent global economic uncertainty and volatility has not dented the strong drivers supporting demand in agricultural and crop input markets. It said it expects the continued strength in crop prices to push farmers to optimize crop acreage and yields.

Two Alta. research groups merge BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Two southern Alberta research groups have joined forces following unanimous agreement Oct. 26 by their boards of directors. The Southern Applied Research Association and the Southern Alberta Conservation Association will soon merge to become Farming Smarter. Ken Coles, the agronomist who has been managing both organizations, will manage the new group. All that remains to make it official is approval from the provincial government, which is expected to be little more than a rubber stamp. “The two groups will essentially no

longer exist,” said Coles. “There will be one board of directors instead of two and it will have one joint budget.” Coles said there was some overlap between the two groups. At one point they shared the services of a technician for their farm research projects and also made joint application for provincial funding. He was directed to explore amalgamation details last March at a joint meeting of the two groups. Farming Smarter, like its predecessors, is expected to derive 30 percent of its funding from government programs and the rest from private research contracts with companies and the federal government.

CLIMATE CHANGE | SOLUTIONS

Traditional agriculture may alleviate climate change LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Traditional farming methods could help protect food supplies and make agriculture more resilient to the effects of climate change, says a new report. Traditional knowledge, rather than modern methods, has helped indigenous people in countries such as China, Kenya and Bolivia cope with extreme weather and environmental change, said the report conducted by the U.K.-based International Institute for Environment and Development. “Policies, subsidies, research and intellectual property rights promote a few modern commercial varieties and intensive agriculture at the expense of traditional crops and practices,” said Krystyna Swiderska, senior researcher at the institute and lead author of the study. “This is perverse as it forces countries and communities to depend on an ever decreasing variety of crops and threatens with extinction the knowledge and biological diversity that form the foundations of resilience.” Traditional methods include using local plants to control pests, choosing crop varieties that tolerate extreme conditions such as droughts and floods and planting a variety of crops to hedge bets against uncertain futures. Policymakers agree agriculture needs to be adapted to cope with rising temperatures, variable rainfall and extreme weather events to ensure future food security. However, government policies have largely overlooked long-established agricultural practices in favour of intensifying production through modern methods, the report said. Governments will meet at a United Nations climate summit in Durban, South Africa, later this year to work on securing a deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions and climate aid for developing countries. “ They must have traditional knowledge firmly in their sights and begin discussing how to reform intellectual property rights in agriculture as a main concern,” the report said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Alta. region hosts riparian studies Lower Little Bow River | Five beneficial management practices studied in southern Alta. BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

IRON SPRINGS, Alta. — A small portion of the Lower Little Bow River watershed looks unremarkable to passers-by on Highway 845 north of Iron Springs. Yet is it the site of a study of five beneficial management practices (BMP) access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

designed to minimize environmental impact. “We’ve been trying to study this from many different angles,” said Jim Miller, project manager for this portion of the national Watershed Evaluation of Beneficial Management Practices (WEBs) program. There are similar projects in every province except Newfoundland and Labrador. The southern Alberta project is a 6,300 acre stretch exemplified in a quiet pasture that meanders through a cleft in the river coulees. Miller told a recent County of Lethbridge agricultural tour that the project is assessing five BMPs: • off-stream watering with fencing • off-stream watering without fencing • buffer strip. • conversion of cropland to forages • manure management Part of the Lower Little Bow was fenced to keep cattle away from an 8 0 0 m e t r e s t r e t c h o f w a t e r. Researchers then monitored the river, soil and vegetation to gauge the effects. Miller said biodiversity of fish species increased after the fencing. It is assumed the increase in foliage g row i n g a l o n g t h e r i v e r b a n k s increased insect populations and furnished more food for fish and other aquatic species. However, a sur vey of insects revealed ups and downs in numbers but no overall increase. A series of pins placed in the banks measured stream bank erosion and as expected, significantly less erosion was seen in the fenced area. Riparian health increased dramatically in the first four years that the river was fenced but then deteriorated after the ninth year, Miller said. Thistle growth and failure of willows to establish contributed to the decline. A rangeland health assessment done a few years ago showed improvements in that category, which Miller attributed to increased soil litter. Though fencing improved the riparian area, Miller acknowledged that it is expensive and can reduce cattle producers’ cash flow. On the flip side, off-site watering brought better cattle weight gains, according to the study. Researchers did not see the same improvements to the riparian area in a site with off-site watering but no fence along the river, he said. Researchers are still evaluating results from buffer strips and manure management.

SPECIAL REPORT TINY LEVELS, BIG PROBLEMS | A fast developing impediment to agricultural trade is the risk of rejection of shipments because they contain tiny amounts of genetically modified crop not registered in the importing country. It is called low level presence and it knocked Canada’s flax industry to its knees when GM Triffid was found in shipments of non-GM flax. But it is a threat to trade in all crops around the world. Even when importers accept new GM crops into their regulatory testing programs, approvals can take years longer than in exporting countries. Producers try to keep GM crops separate but it is impossible to prevent minute amounts of unapproved crop getting in with approved crop. Western Producer reporter Sean Pratt talked with experts and analysts who stressed that international agreements are necessary to set practical, low level presence limits to prevent major trade disruptions.

One unapproved GM seed in a sample of 10,000 could cause an entire shipment of grain to be rejected at port.

The trouble with intolerance CANADA’S FLAX INDUSTRY SHRINKING Canada’s flax industry contracted after Triffid contamination disrupted European demand. Canada’s share of the European market fell to 20 percent from 80 percent. Russia and Ukraine have gained market share. Cdn share

ANCOUVER — Canada’s flax industry has incurred substantial costs in the two years since a genetically modified variety was discovered in the handling system. Sales to Europe are expected to be 100,000 tonnes in 2011-12, only onequarter of what they were in the preTriffid era. Canada’s share of the EU flax market has fallen to 20 percent from 80 as flax from Eastern Europe replaces Canadian product. “There’s a new competitor, at least in the short run, for a market that has traditionally been Canadian,” said Flax Council of Canada president Will Hill. “It could lead to where the EU is no longer our preferred market for flax.” Shipping to Europe has become costly and risky under a rigid trade protocol that allows for a maximum .01 percent Triffid contamination. “(The protocol) is more than the grain industry is used to. It is a very

rigorous process that causes extra storage, extra testing and extra reporting,” he said. Hill believes the only way to resurrect the EU market is to convince Europeans to adopt a low level presence policy for unapproved GM traits. A 0.1 percent tolerance level would alleviate most of Canada’s concerns. But before Canada can make any credible demands of importers, it needs to address its own shortcomings. Agriculture Canada is in the midst of public consultations on a new policy for low level presence (LLP) that it hopes will be an example of how to resolve one of the biggest impediments to agricultural trade. “This is a real problem. It’s a growing problem. We need to address it. We need to find a practical way of dealing with this on a global basis,” said Blair Coomber, director general of multilateral relations, policy and engagement with Agriculture Canada.

The department is meeting with its 11 value chain roundtables to generate feedback on the proposed policy, which includes a recommendation that would allow imports to contain less than 0.1 percent of a GM crop that was approved in the exporting nation but not yet approved in Canada. “We believe there is a significant opportunity for Canada to take some leadership on this globally,” said Coomber. The hope is that once Canada’s policy is implemented, it could be used as a template by other regions such as the EU. Low level presence has blindsided most major importers and exporters at some point. Randal Giroux, vice-president of food safety, quality and regulatory affairs with Cargill, said zero tolerance policies for unapproved GM traits have become a major headache for grain shippers. “We see huge potential risks in exporting,” he said.

“The aggressive commercialization of these traits wreaks havoc with the supply chain. We’re having dialogue and discussions about how do we manage the needs of both the export markets and the domestic market.” The problem will only get worse because of the increasing number of GM products about to hit the market and the asynchronous approvals of those products around the world. Trade can be disrupted when trace amounts of a GM product approved in the country of export but not the country of import appears in a shipment of grain. Even the EU, the bastion of anti-GM crop sentiment, is taking steps to avoid such costly disruptions. “The European Commission is acutely aware of the impact of low level presence,” said Niall Gerlitz, director general for health and consumer policy with the European Commission.

ANCOUVER — Faulty testing is one of the reasons the Canadian flax industry considers the European Union’s 0.01 percent tolerance level for Triffid contamination unworkable. The tests are so sensitive and the contamination levels so tiny that the test can sometimes indicate presence of Triffid even when it is not there. This is called a false positive. Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan have determined there is a 0.6 percent chance of generating a false positive using the current Triffid test. The number of false positives rises in conjunction with the number of times a sample is tested. “A clean lot tested four times has a 2.4 percent chance of coming back positive,” said Eric Lamb, assistant professor in the university’s plant sciences department. That raises an interesting question about how much Triffid is in the Canadian system. “Do we really have a low level presence problem or do we have an inaccurate test problem?” said Lamb. He has compared the results of the 2011 Triffid testing program with the number of false positives he would expect given the testing flaws. The comparison suggests there is likely still Triffid contamination in farm saved seed, production seed

However, the amount of positives in the pedigreed seed supply is well within the range of what would be expected given the potential for false positives. “This is probably a pretty darn good indication that the certified seed is GM free,” said Lamb.

The amount of positives in terminal bins at the Port of Thunder Bay is also within the expected range. “Here we’ve got some evidence that the testing efforts are actually working,” said Lamb. Flax Council of Canada president Will Hill said there has been progress. Two percent of producer stocks have tested

positive for Triffid this year compared to 10 percent in 2009-10. Contamination of farm saved and pedigreed seed is three and zero percent respectively, down from 14 and seven percent in 2009-10. Helen Booker, a flax breeder at the U of S, said false positives forced the university’s Crop Development Centre to reconstitute CDC Bethune and CDC Sorrel, the two main flax varieties. Breeder seed lots were tested up to 85 times, increasing the probability of generating a false positive to 40 percent. That meant there was no way of knowing if the seed was clean. So the university created plants from remnant seed, tissue tested the plants for GM material to ensure they had none and sent them to GM-free New Zealand for reproduction. “Our hope is that by early 2014 there will be new certified seed there for farmers to purchase and this will flush out the system as best we can,” said Booker. The work at the university demonstrates that countries need to start adopting low level presence policies that allow for a reasonable level of contamination. “The testing limitations make zero tolerance policies impossible to manage and impossible targets to meet, so there is some need for some low level acceptance between trading nations for unapproved events.”

THE RISE OF GM CROPS

commercial in 2008

ANCOUVER — North America’s approval system for GM crops has become so cumbersome, overtaxed and subject to litigation that it is leading to long delays in getting new products to market, said Monsanto. Approval systems are even worse elsewhere in the world, leading to the asynchronous approvals that are at the heart of the low level presence issue disrupting global trade of agricultural commodities. “We need a course correction to deliver the promise of GM crops,” said Eric Sachs, Monsanto’s science and policy lead for regulatory issues. “There is an awful lot of opportunity in the technology coming and we have to do something to address these constraints.” Regulatory approval has become longer because the traits being reviewed are becoming more complicated. Some of the new traits, such as yield and stress tolerance, are unfamiliar to regulators, and the genetic manipulations are more complex. There are genes that regulate dozens of other genes and stacked traits to consider. There are also more products to review, putting increased pressure on budget-constrained regulatory agencies. For instance, 24 traits are under review in the U.S. regulatory pipeline. “That’s double the number of products that have been deregulated in the last five years, so there is clearly a constraint there,” said Sachs.

Cindy Smith, chief adviser for government, academia and industry partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said there were eight GM trial permits and notifications in 1987 compared to 700 in each of the last three years. “The pace of our petition work has picked up considerably,” she said. Meanwhile, the review and approval process has become less efficient in recent years. “When we invite public comment on these petitions, they prompt many more comments than they used to,” she said. Sachs said the public comment portion of the process has become a nightmare. “One of the biggest problems we

have through the regulatory process are questions that come that have absolutely nothing to do with the potential risks of these products.” And then there are the lawsuits. The approval of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready alfalfa has been tied up in litigation since 2006. The upshot is that the average time to achieve regulatory approval in the United States has grown to more than two years from six months in the early days of agricultural biotechnology. There have been 11 deregulations in the U.S. during the last five years compared to 51 the previous five years. “As the rate of deregulation slows, the backlog of products that is wait-

ing to get into the market is growing,” said Sachs. “This bottleneck is only going to get worse.” The U.S. system is streamlined compared to other regions. The World Trade Organization slapped the European Union’s wrists in 2006 for its painfully slow approval process. Little has changed since then, although the EU said it is about to introduce new legislation that will streamline the process. China’s approval process takes two to three years, but it can commence only once submitters have already received full regulatory approval in their home countries. As a result, China has approved only 11 of the 29 GM corn traits authorized in the U.S. The difference in average approval times for a new trait is massive. It takes an average of 27 months from submission to approval in the U.S., but 45 months in the EU and 54 months in China. Seed technology companies investing hundreds of millions of dollars developing a new trait don’t have the patience to wait for all the approvals to happen. As a result, asynchronous approvals can lead to low level presence problems, where trace amounts of a GM crop approved in an exporting country but not approved in the importing country can cause a shipment to be rejected because of strict zero tolerance policies for unapproved GM traits that are common around the world. Sachs said importers need to devel-

op low level presence policies to keep trade flowing because the costs of not doing so can be substantial. Charlotte Hebebrand, chief executive officer of the International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council, said tariffs and subsidies are decreasing in importance in terms of barriers to trade. Tariffs have been lowered through multilateral trade deals and subsidies aren’t as big a deal as they once were because of high prices for agricultural commodities. “When we look ahead and think about what are the key issues impacting international global food trade, it is this issue of so-called non-tariff measures,” she said. And low level presence has become one of the biggest and costliest of those non-tariff impediments. An American study estimated that the discovery of StarLink, a GM corn crop approved only for feed, in the food supply decreased U.S. corn prices by 6.8 percent for at least one year. European studies estimate that a ban on soybean imports from the U.S., Argentina and Brazil because of low level GM presence would drive up feed costs by as much as 500 to 600 percent in the EU market. And a study by the International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council estimates it would cost China $191 million a year by 2015 if 10 percent of its GM soybean imports were rejected because of low level presence issues.

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 30 The issue has been a thorn in the side of the EU’s livestock and feed sectors, which recently faced feed shortages and rising costs in the wake of regulators rejecting imported soybean shipments for containing trace amounts of an unapproved GM corn variety. That incident prompted the EU to adopt a technical solution this summer allowing up to 0.1 percent of an unapproved GM crop in feed shipments that has been approved in the exporting country and has been submitted for approval in the EU. Gerlitz said the policy will be expanded to include food shipments within the next year. The EU is also revamping its GM crop approval process. A draft regulation aimed at streamlining the process will be presented to member states in the coming weeks.

The goal is to speed the approval process to minimize the amount of low level presence incidents that can disrupt trade. Gerlitz said the EU was jolted into action by an EC study that said 124 GM traits would be commercialized around the world by 2015, up from 33 traits in 2008. Many of those traits will be first commercialized in the United States, which has been wrestling with the low level presence issue since the StarLink corn incident in 2000, when re si d u e s f ro m a G M c o r n t ra i t approved only for feed markets turned up in taco shells. Another incident occurred in 2006 when one percent of the U.S. corn crop was planted with Herculex corn, a crop approved in the U.S., Japan and South Korea but not in the EU. Despite efforts to segregate the

crop, trace amounts of Herculex were detected in 188 barges of U.S. corn gluten feed that year. Exports of the product quickly fell from 300,000 tonnes per month to nothing. One of the latest coexistence incidents in the U.S. has been called a game changer because it sparked a dispute between two factions of the GM crop industry. The U.S. Department of Agriculture granted regulatory approval to Syngenta’s amylase corn earlier this year over objections from U.S. grain millers. The millers argued that the GM corn, which was designed for the ethanol industry, could damage the quality of food products made from corn even if a small amount made it into their factories. Greg Jaffe, director of a biotechnology project for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said coexis-

tence suddenly wasn’t just an issue of GM crops versus conventional and organic production. “It changed the stakeholders. It changed the picture here. It’s not always them against us,” he said. Syngenta recognized there were coexistence issues with its amylase corn and established stewardship practices to prevent it from contaminating other types of GM corn in the food supply chain. Jaffe said the USDA has made it clear in the amylase case and in its recent regulatory decision regarding Roundup Ready alfalfa that it has no authority to establish coexistence regulations and that the industry will have to police itself through voluntary measures such as industry stewardship. That makes him nervous because the industry doesn’t have a great

track record in that regard. Glyphosate resistant weeds are one example of how voluntary stewardship doesn’t always work. Ten species found on seven to 10 million acres of farmland in 22 states demonstrate that growers aren’t following the rotational guidelines established for herbicide tolerant crops. Clarkson Grain Company Inc., a grain dealer that markets organic and non-GM crops, is on the front line of the coexistence and LLP issues. Clarkson tests every load of organic grain it receives. The average GM crop content in its organic corn is 0.5 percent. No tolerance levels have been established for GM crops in organic regulations, but customers are increasingly demanding certification to a new standard called the Non GMO Project, which has established a target of a maximum 0.9 percent GM contamination. Clarkson Grain president Lynn Clarkson said certifying to that standard has made him more reliant on imported Chinese product, which he can be assured is GM-free. He also expects his business to be affected by the amylase corn ruling because farmers in Iowa, a big ethanol producer and the leading corn growing state, will probably soon be growing amylase corn. “What am I going to do when placing my contracts? Am I going to shy away from the state of Iowa?” He anticipates that is exactly what he will do, eliminating a major supplier of corn for his operation. Clarkson agreed that global adoption of low level presence policies is the answer to the dilemmas he faces, but it could be a long time coming. In the meantime, he wants developers of GM crops to make it easier to segregate unwanted material from grain shipments. One welcome move would be a visual marker to clearly distinguish crops with GM traits from other crops. “Turn it red for instance. Give it a pink polka dot. Give me something that I can see,” he said. Clarkson also wants seed technology companies to ensure test kits are available for their new traits. “How am I going to grapple with something I can’t test?” he said. As well, he wants the USDA to have the authority to build a better regulatory fence around GM crops. Giroux said Clarkson has it backward. There is a longstanding tradition in American agriculture that the minority isolates itself from the majority. There were more cows than corn when the U.S. was first colonized, and open range laws stipulated that growers had to put a fence around their corn to protect their crops. As cropping became more popular, the agriculture industry stalled for a while because farmers ran out of fencing material. Eventually, the laws shifted to force cattle producers to fence in their animals. With more than 88 percent of U.S. corn, cotton and soybeans planted to GM varieties, it is the non-GM crops that are the niche products, Giroux said. The onus is on them to isolate themselves. Hill said something has to be done to harmonize approval systems for GM crops because they are here to stay. “I just don’t think you can back away from technology. That hasn’t been the history of the world, so I don’t know why it should start today.”

WHEAT BOARD | VISION FOR FUTURE

FNA sees opportunity in demise of wheat board single desk Farmers of North America | The bulk buying group thinks it can help the CWB convert into a marketing agency that producers find useful BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

While farmer supporters of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly see its demise as a tragedy, Farmers of North America executive Bob Friesen said FNA sees it as an opportunity. The former long-time president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture told a House of Commons committee studying Bill C-18 last week that a voluntary CWB can succeed and FNA can help. The bill once approved will end the CWB wheat and barley sales monopoly Aug. 1, 2012.

“When Bill C-18 passes, we want to help be the architects of a system that’s going to help farmers with cost competitiveness and help farmers maximize their profits,” he told MPs. He said the CWB has a future if it wants one. “I think one of the key components will be that there is a board that has a reason to want to make it successful. That will mean the board will want to make sure there’s a viable marketing agency for those farmers that want to use it and there may be lots of farmers,” said Friesen. “The debate is quite simple. We have a lot of farmers that want to continue to use a mar-

keting agency, we have farmers that want to market on their own.” He said FNA, created as a farmermembership organization to bring cheaper generic crop input chemicals into the country, is expanding its scope and also can help a farmer marketing agency develop marketing skills, negotiate access to rail service, secure short-line railway cooperation with mainline railways and secure access to facilities. It has created a task force to look at grain handling and marketing services the 10,000-member group could provide. The goal is to create “a cross-walk

POLITICS | LONG GUN REGISTRY

Gun registry demise begins BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

With the support of two northwestern Ontario New Democrats, the Conservative majority last week voted in principle to end the long gun registry. The House of Commons public safety committee is expected to open public hearings on the bill when Parliament resumes Nov. 14 after a week’s break. Public safety minister Vic Toews is scheduled to be the first witness. The bill passed second reading approval-in-principle by 156-123. The government used closure to limit debate and force the vote after just several days of debate. Thunder Bay New Democrat MPs Bruce Hyder and John Rafferty, who promised voters they would vote against the registry, stood with the Conservative majority. New Democrat sources later told some reporters that party leadership is reprimanding the two for breaking party ranks. British Columbia New Democrat Nathan Cullen, a candidate for his party’s leadership, and Dennis Bevington from the Arctic have spoken against the registry but did not vote. Liberal Wayne Easter, formerly a gun registry opponent, voted with his party against the bill. Toews surprised his critics by not just proposing to abolish the long gun registry as expected but also vowing to destroy 16 years of records collected under the system. It has triggered another law-andorder standoff between Ottawa and Quebec. The province supports the registry, is vowing to create its own and is demanding that the federal government turn over to it all the data collected on long gun owners in Quebec. It has ordered Quebec’s chief firearms officer not to destroy the data despite federal orders. In the House of Commons, Quebec New Democrat MPs have been making the provincial case by demanding that Ottawa recant and save the gun registry data. Toews has so far refused, arguing that it is data collected on law abiding gun owners and is outdated. “Our legislation will destroy the records which are inaccurate and unreliable and becoming increasingly so over time,” he said Nov. 2. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

between farmers and the marketplace much the way FNA in its past built a cross-walk between farmers and input suppliers.” Friesen, chief executive officer of the Ottawa-based FNA Strategic Agriculture Institute, said one way the government could help would be to give farmers tax-free access to AgriInvest funds if they are using it for approved investments in the new system. He said there is $450 million in AgriInvest Fund 2 on the Prairies that is subject to tax when removed. If that disincentive was removed and money removed from Fund 2, it would also make available $280 million in

non-taxable Fund 1 money. “What we’re suggesting is to create an incentive and to help farmers raise capital to make whatever investments they might want to make in a grain handling, transportation and marketing system,” said Friesen. He said FNA has 10,000 farmer members. Conservative MPs, accustomed to his defence of the CWB when president of the CFA, praised Friesen for his ideas and his pragmatic approach. New Democrat MP Pat Martin, a fierce opponent of the legislation, said it was a logical approach since the legislation is going to be law. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CWB to spend $1.4 million on ad campaign Costs called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;small amountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; | Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association accuses board of violating spending rules BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Wheat Board is spending $1.4 million on a national advertising campaign aimed at galvanizing public support and convincing the Harper government to abandon plans to end single desk grain marketing. The campaign, which began last week with a full page advertisements in several major newspapers, will include newspaper ads, radio commercials and television spots and is expected to run until the end of November, said CWB chair Allen Oberg.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cost of â&#x20AC;Ś (the campaign) is $1.4 million in media costs so when you compare that to the $500 million a year thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake with the loss of the single desk, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rather small amount,â&#x20AC;? said Oberg. On a per tonne basis, Oberg said the campaign will cost western Canadian grain farmers about seven cents per tonne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rather modest campaign,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like spending farmers money any more than I have to but â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incumbent upon us to not only make farmers but also the general public aware of how this legislation is being

rammed through Parliamentâ&#x20AC;Ś.â&#x20AC;? The ad that appeared in the Globe and Mail showed a piece of heavy machinery used for rolling asphalt. A caption above the image read: This is how the Harper government harvests wheat in Canada. In response, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association confirmed Nov. 3 that it had launched a legal action against the CWB for misuse of farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money. The WCWGA contends the wheat board and Oberg are violating laws that prohibit the board from using pool accounts to lobby for retention of the single desk.

The association is also seeking a court injunction preventing the CWB from proceeding with its own lawsuit against the federal government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wheat growers are taking this action to ensure that farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money is not misspent,â&#x20AC;? said WCWGA chair Gerrid Gust. Federal agriculture Gerry Ritz also issued a statement to media suggesting that Ottawa will not stray from its agenda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that Mr. Oberg will not hesitate in spending farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money and wasting farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time in hopes of keeping his job and forcing farmers to marketing through the wheat

board,â&#x20AC;? Ritz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(He) is doing a great disservice to the farmers and staff he claims to represent by refusing to work with us to give the Canadian Wheat Board the best chance to succeed in an open market.â&#x20AC;?

page advertisements in major daily newspapers across Canada urging urban Canadians to join the fight to preserve the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single desk. At a Nov. 3 Ottawa news conference, CWB chair Allen Oberg said the purpose is to try to change the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is always time for the government to do the right thing,â&#x20AC;? he

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some things in this world are worth fighting for.â&#x20AC;? At the news conference, New Democrat CWB critic Pat Martin said government tactics in rushing the bill through Parliament mean there is little chance the legislation can be stopped or delayed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say we are running out of parliamentary options,â&#x20AC;? he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

PULSE CROPS | STORAGE

Pulses are binned, but are they safe? Proper storage vital | Producers shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bank on their pulse crops unless they safeguard their deposits BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG NEWSROOM

Dennis Lange is pretty sure farmers would check their grain bins every day if a bag containing $50,000 in cash was hidden inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we do the same with pulse crops in the bin?â&#x20AC;? wonders the Manitoba Agriculture pulse crop specialist. Prairie pulse crops came off the field in good condition this fall, but what happens in the bin this winter ultimately determines their price and farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; profit. Many growers plan to hold over some of their lentils and chickpeas, either for income management or to try extracting premiums from March to July. They are also saving what they assume is their best seed to plant next spring. Proper care of that valuable inventory is required to pull off either strategy. Temperatures throughout much of

the harvest were hot. Producers in Alberta were putting grain in the bin at 35 C, said Harry Brook, a pulse crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way too hot. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to cool that sucker off, one way or another,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have aeration, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better be moving those seeds on the cooler drier days, just to cool it off. Otherwise, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have real problems.â&#x20AC;? Brook conceded that seed coats are damaged every time a pulse crop is transferred between bins, but producers must weigh that damage against the damage the whole bin will experience if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move it. Colour and cracking are two big factors affecting price, said Dale Risula, a pulse crop specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If storage conditions are out of whack with recommendations, lentil seed coats turn brown, resulting in grade loss and a lower price,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The market pays less for off-colour

seed. The quality of the seed is the same, but end users are picky about colour. Appearance determines price.â&#x20AC;? Risula said producers should minimize movement of pulse crops because seed coats break with every grain movement, even with rubber conveyors and low-elevation bins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The seed loses the moisture it has preserved within the coat,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crack lets disease organisms penetrate the seed.â&#x20AC;? Good aeration systems are the only good option for preserving pulse crop quality with a minimum of movement. Brook suggested keeping wheat out of the aeration bins so that they can be available for pulse crops. Risula said the optimal storage conditions for lentils and other pulse crops is 15 C or cooler. He said 20 C is fine only for short periods of time. The seeds should not be exposed to sunlight. Moisture should be stabilized at 14

percent. Mould and insect activity are greatly reduced at this level. Red lentils should be stored at 13 percent so that they de-hull better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to make sure you do not dry them down too far. At 10 percent moisture, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have lots of seed coat damage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be very costly.â&#x20AC;? Crusting is another problem area worth watching, Lange said. Crust at the top of the pile varies from two to 12 centimetres thick, creating an impervious cap that locks in moisture and heat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to check for crusting and mould on a regular basis if you expect to get the best price for those pulses,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the crop goes in at a high temperature and high moisture content, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no immediate aeration, the crusting can start to form very quickly.â&#x20AC;? He said air generated by aeration fans wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move through the crust once a cap forms on the pile. Checking every bin is the only way to know

if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my experience with pulses, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get up there at least two or three times in the first month. By now (Oct. 31), the crust will usually have started to form, but it can form later also. If you have lots of dockage, weed seeds and dirt, those foreign elements will seal the pile even tighter. The crust will be worse than if you have clean grain.â&#x20AC;? Lange said the only solution once a crust has formed is to go in the bin with a shovel and bucket and remove every piece of crust material. Some growers also use their grain vacuum suction hose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Removing the crust is a lot of work, but if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it as soon as possible, you risk losing grade on the whole bin. Worse yet, you can lose the whole bin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one producer with a bin of edible beans. There was a problem with one of the vents and moisture got in. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t check the top of the pile before he took the first load. That access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

BIN MONITORING | GRAIN LEVELS

Bin sight offers producers insight Simplified grain sight glass | The device enables farmers to check fullness BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG NEWSROOM

FARGO, N.D. — The J-Mac is a simple grain level sight that made its debut at the Big Iron farm equipment show in Fargo this fall. It consists of a white nylon box that’s open to the grain bin on the inside and sealed on the outside with a clear, unbreakable polycarbonate window. Grain shows up well on the bright white box as the level rises. “You can see when the grain starts filling the white box from a distance of 200 feet,” said J-Mac representative Bill Thomas. “If you install it up near the top of your bin, you can see when you’re six or eight inches from the top. You can shut down the auger before it starts getting jammed up.”

He said grain fills the box at the same rate that the bin is being filled because the top and bottom of the box are wide open to the grain. A round hole at the back of the box also ensures that grain freely flows into and out of the box. Thomas said his neighbour, Jimmy Haskins, invented the device. “Jimmy was looking for a better way to monitor grain levels as the bins are being filled,” he said. “He’d tried everything on the market, but they all had some kind of drawback, usually a problem with the sight glass changing colour. He finally came up with this idea. There’s no moving parts and we make it for corrugated bins and smooth sided bins.” Thomas said the company is rec-

ommending that the sights be installed only at the tops until it does further research into how they affect bins’ structural integrity. The J-Mac grain monitoring sight sells for $79.50.

The sights are suitable for corrugated or smooth bins. At this point, J-Mac recommends they be installed only close to the top. Once the impact on bin structural integrity is researched further, they may allow them to be located lower on the bin wall. | BILL THOMAS PHOTO

load was OK. He got the right price. But the second load was already contaminated with mould. The buyer rejected the whole bin.” Lange said producers who are certain there is no mould at the top of the bin often recycle one or two loads, which can help prevent a crust formation. He said bins should be checked at least once a month through winter. “We typically see more pulse crop spoilage in the spr ing, mainly because guys think the whole situation is under control so they stop checking.” Working in pairs is a good safety practice, he added. Producers who plan to hold back some of their lentil and chickpea seed for planting next spring should keep the seed that tests best and ship the rest, advised Bruce Carriere of Discovery Seed. “You’ve got to find out soon which seed lots are the ones you want to save for seed. You don’t want to be shipping that stuff by accident,” he said. “You might assume all winter that

you’ve got a bin of really good looking seed, but the fact is you really don’t know for sure until it’s been tested. Do it now. Don’t wait for spring.” Discovery is able to start the tests the day after the seed arrives. The germination test takes seven days, the vigour test 11 days and the disease test 10 days. Carriere said saving seed for next year’s crop is no different than saving it for market. Temperature and moisture are still the two most critical factors. “If you combined on a 95 degree day and the seed went straight to the bin without cooling, I hope you had aeration on those bins. If you don’t cool it down quickly, it will start to heat and spoil. Lentils should be down at 20 to 25 degrees by now, or cooler. Moisture should be 14 percent or lower. Chickpeas should be down at 15 degrees by now and 16 percent moisture or lower.” For more information, contact Harry Brook at 403-742-7955, Dale Risula at 306-787-4665, Dennis Lange at 204-750-4530 and Bruce Carriere at 306-249-4484.

PRODUCTION PLANT SCIENCE | DISEASE RESPONSE

Barley takes quick action when disease begins attack Research considered significant | Scientists discover that barley plants begin reacting to rust within five minutes of the attack BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Jayaveeramuthu Nimala and Andy Kleinhofs of Washington State University have expanded the scientific knowledge about plant signaling when under attack by pathogens. They hope that working with this knowledge, researchers will be able to develop resistance systems in a variety of crops. | BRIAN CLARK, WSU PHOTO

Quick reflexes aren’t generally associated with field crops, but new research indicates barley combats disease invaders within as little as five minutes of an attack. The discovery gives researchers new information that they hope will lead to development of long-term durable plant resistance to disease. Andy Kleinhofs, a plant geneticist and professor of crop and soil science at Washington State University, recently discovered barley’s quick response to stem rust spores. It’s a departure from traditional thinking that plants take awhile to marshal defenses against invaders and don’t initiate a response until penetrated by disease or fungus. “That’s been kind of the dogma,” said Kleinhofs. “But the response within five minutes was pretty amazing to us. That was a complete surprise, a complete and pleasant surprise. We totally did not expect it.” Improved understanding of plants’ access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

defence mechanisms may allow scientists to manipulate them so pathogens can be rejected much sooner in the plants’ life cycle. For crops, that means quicker rejection of disease or fungus so more energy can go toward yield. Kleinhofs has been working exclusively with barley and stem rust, but he hopes his team’s findings will be transferable to other crops. Because barley and wheat are closely related, the barley discovery might help researchers develop ways to fight Ug99, a wheat pathogen that is a major threat to global grain crops. “Most of our wheat and barley plants are susceptible to that race, and so we certainly hope to look at that to see if what we have learned extends to Ug99 and whether that information can be exploited in some way to help stop that race from causing disease. I think the discovery we have made has potentially great implications, but it remains to be actually discovered how to use it.” Denis Gaudet, a crop disease researcher with Agriculture Canada in Lethbridge, sees promise in the Washington discovery. He is intrigued by the connection it has made between plants’ innate response to pathogens and their activation of disease resistance mechanisms. Pathogens have wily ways to avoid a plant’s resistance genes, but it is more difficult for pathogens to combat a host’s innate and usually quicker response to attack. “What they’ve done is basically identified a system that has many of the properties of the innate immune response, the very early detection system, but it also has a very specific interaction, which has properties similar to the R (resistance) gene reaction,” Gaudet said. “It would really be a huge breakthrough if we could identify a system that works like the innate immune system and that could provide broad

and durable resistance against a whole different series of plant pathogens.” Kleinhofs said he chose barley and rust for his research because barley is simple in genetic terms, at least compared to other crops, and the rust genome has also been sequenced. He began his work by cloning a resistance gene in barley, Rpg1, which increased understanding of how barley protects itself. He and his team discovered various proteins that activate the resistance gene, and in that process they documented “communication” between barley and stem rust spores. “We do know for sure it’s happening. The mystery is exactly how it happens. That’s what we’re working on to try to figure out,” said Kleinhofs. The discovery has focused his research more on the pathogen and less on the plant. He and his team want to know how the pathogen signals the plant so resistance is activated. That could guide them in genetic modification of plants to respond more quickly when threatened by fungus and disease. Gaudet said the holy grail for researchers in this field is to understand plants’ recognition systems so they can be manipulated into more prolonged protection. “The plant can protect itself. All plants can protect themselves. That’s not an issue. It’s the detection system that is the issue,” said Gaudet. He described pathogen invasion and plant response as a dance in which the plant tries to recognize the pathogen and the pathogen tries to avoid recognition and work its way into the cells. One is trying to outsmart the other. “I like to think of it as a symphony that’s going on where there are many things occurring at different levels. Once we can break it down to the different instruments that are involved, then we can start playing our own tune.”

DIESEL | EMISSIONS

Combustion and compression receive Mazda makeover GETTING AROUND

CHARLES RENNY

e often think of Mazda as a manufacturer of gas powered small cars, but it actually makes a wide range of vehicles worldwide. To this end, Mazda has created a new integrated technology for power trains and vehicles called Skyactiv for diesel and gasoline engines. The changes to the diesel that Mazda will bring to North America in late 2012 or early 2013 will be 20 percent more fuel efficient than the existing one. It will meet Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions standards without any special exhaust treatment except a regular catalyst. It also won’t require a ceramic soot collector or additives. The obvious question is how Mazda did it, particularly on a 2.0 litre diesel? Engineers did a bit of blue-sky thinking and came up with ideas that covered pretty much every accepted concept in diesel engine manufacture. The only current idea they kept was the idea of a multi-hole, piezo injector. Just about everything we have come to know about diesel improvement went out the window. First on the list of accepted ideas to get the punt was the idea that compression ratios had to be increased. Mazda dropped the compression ratio from 16:1 to 14:1 and found that the lower compression ratio provided a more ideal combustion process and a higher expansion ratio. Add in variable valve timing to aid in this process and the end result is better power, lower emissions and an improvement in fuel economy. It also became obvious that piston design was critical. The new piston looks a bit like a domed piston with half of the dome hollowed out. Other changes include a reduction in overall weight by 10 percent and a 20 percent reduction in combustion pressures, which will increase engine life. These improvements have also carried over to the new generation of gasoline engines. Part two of the Skyactiv system involves changes to the transmission. Mazda has a new six-speed automatic in two sizes that can handle up to 340 pound feet of torque. The most obvious thing is a wide lock-up range clutch and a compact torque converter, which improves efficiency to 88 from 64 percent. There is less torque loss and fuel economy takes a seven percent jump. Other improvements include quicker, firmer shifts. It almost shifts like a manual transmission, except that you don’t have to do anything. Part three is the chassis. If Mazda can do this, so can any other company. Improvements in aerodynamics and friction reduction account for a fuel economy improvement of three percent, mostly through a 14 percent weight reduction while improving crash safety and structural rigidity. A significant improvement to comfort includes a neat exhaust heat recovery system, like a radiator in reverse. This system takes exhaust heat and sends it back into the cooling system

for faster warm-ups. This reduces startup emissions and warms the car interior five minutes quicker. Since all new engines are direct injected, Mazda also looked at the possibility of deposits forming on the valve stem, face and piston from the emission system regeneration that is returned to the intake tract. The chief project engineer feels this will not occur because of low ash oils, improved combustion chamber sealing techniques, the general improvements in engine sealing and improved cylinder scavenging. Skyactiv technology has made engineers question the accepted standards of how diesel and gas engines are put together, particularly

since other experts have claimed there was no way diesel engines could meet current emissions standards without lots of expensive additions. Mazda proved them wrong. This technology is available only in the small Mazda diesels, but companies such as Cummins, Cat and JD Iveco are going to notice if these changes produce a 20 percent improvement without other significant design changes. Add in transmission improvements, and a 25 percent reduction in fuel consumption is a realistic goal. Charles Renny is an automotive columnist and a member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada.

LIVESTOCK | TEACHING TOOL

Fake cow joins staff Olds College | Bovine simulator comes with a calf BY RANDY FIEDLER FREELANCE WRITER

RED DEER — A simulated cow will soon add to the learning experience for Olds College students. Lucy, a bovine simulator complete with a calf named Lou, was unveiled to staff and students during the Cattleman’s College educational series. Dean of agriculture Tanya McDonald said the lifelike, anatomically correct machine will give students in the agricultural management and animal health technology programs important clinical skills and experience despite their day-to-day participation with the college’s cow-calf herd. “We can have a calf born multiple times a day and simulate a number of different calving problems. They wouldn’t get that experience with

real cows.” Reducing stress for live cows is another benefit. “Because of animal welfare concerns, we’re hearing more interest and movement towards increasing regulations and recommendations to replace live animals with simulators.” The machine was built by Calgarybased Veterinary Simulator Industries. It was developed with the help of Dr. Gordon Krebs from the University of Calgary’s veterinary school, which has two similar machines. The $36,000 purchase was made with funding from UFA Co-operative, an Alberta-based farm supply company. “This was an idea that has come forward and we worked with them very effectively to get it put into place,” said Ron Schinnour, vice-president of agribusiness for UFA. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

Jan. 1, 2011,” said Chorney, who heard about the nutrient management regulation in a recent conversation. “It’s kind of embarrassing to admit we didn’t know about this. But, we didn’t know about this.” The new rule is part of the province’s nutrient management regulations under Manitoba’s Water Protection Act, which became law in March 2008. However, regulations prohibiting the application of synthetic fertilizer between Nov. 10 and April 10 didn’t take effect until this year. “What it means is that from Nov. 10 to April 10 you’re not allowed to apply any synthetic phosphorus or nitrogen fertilizer,” Chorney said. A government spokesperson said the period of the ban was selected so it’s consistent with provincial regulations for manure spreading. The regulations are designed to prevent nutrient application to frozen soil, thus reducing the likelihood of nitrogen and phosphorus losses during the spring melt. Although Chorney understands the environmental objective, he recalls a number of years when temperatures remained warm into late November. “Typically, half the time it is probably winter time (in Manitoba) by Nov. 10 and it’s not an issue,” said Chorney, who farms near Selkirk, Man. “(But) I’ve seen it happen when you had the nicest application weather after Nov. 10 for anhydrous ammonia. We (have) fertilized the whole farm from the middle to the end of November.” Gary Martens, a plant science professor with the University of Manitoba, said it’s better for the soil and the environment if farmers wait as long as possible to apply nitrogen fertilizer during a warm and dry fall like the one Manitoba has been having this year. Nitrogen will convert from ammonium to nitrate if the soil is warm when fertilizer is injected, he added. “In the nitrate form, it’s more susceptible to leaching or volatilization. So that’s why you want to delay (application) as long as possible.”

As well, the furrow doesn’t close properly if a producer attempts to inject fertilizer into dry soil, allowing nitrogen to escape, Martens said. Therefore, farmers are wise to wait for a November rain before applying fertilizer. Chorney said the spring deadline also doesn’t make sense. There are years when the ground is dry enough by April 10 for farmers to get on the land and apply fertilizer. “Sometimes you lose all your snow cover in March and the ground isn’t quite dry enough to seed or be cultivated,” he said. “But it’s plenty dry enough for a floater to go across with dry or liquid fertilizer.” John Heard, a soil fertility specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said it’s logical to prohibit fertilizer application when the ground is frozen, but there are years when Manitoba farmers can and should fertilize after Nov. 10. “For someone trying to enforce a regulation, I’m told the only way they can really do that is with a calendar date,” said Heard, who answered questions about the Nov. 10 deadline carefully. “But in selecting a date, it (the regulation) does jeopardize the agronomically responsible practice of injection late in the fall…. Agronomically, we’d like to see nitrogen applied (late) because then it doesn’t have the thermal heat units, or time, required to convert to nitrate.” Heard said only a few producers are aware of the ban, even though the regulation has been law since Jan. 1. “I’ve been talking about this at field days and in my writing notes. And it’s like, what does the moon care when the dog howls at it?” He said the provincial election likely contributed to the communication breakdown. The government was subject to a publication ban for three months before the Oct. 4 election that strangled its ability to promote provincial policies. Chorney said he has spoken with Manitoba government representatives about the regulations and is hopeful the dates of the ban can be amended.

Evolution of the ART Monitor

The WIRELESS ART Rate and Blockage monitor takes the uncertainty out of air cart operation. You will know if your seeding system is having any of these common problems: • Seed Blockage/No Seed Problems • Rate Problems

Use your Google ® Android ® Phone to keep track of our air seeder operation with an ‘App’. (Windows Phone, Apple and Blackberry ‘App’s are in development) No wires to the cab means quicker startups, and no worries about towing the seeder with the monitor harness! The WIRELESS ART works with today’s large single Shoot and Double Shoot seeding systems. Up to 240 runs can be monitored on double shoot systems (separate seed and fertilizer runs). Use the WIRELESS ART to confirm your calibration for seed and fertilizer rates using the Seed Rate Wizard. Seeds per acre (or pounds per acre) and Fertilizer pounds per acre are displayed. 242 Robin Cres. Saskatoon, SK Canada S7L 7C2 Ph 306-934-0640 Fx 306-668-7666 Email: sales@agtron.com www.agtron.com

ANDREW COLDBECK THE JOB SHOP

Job Shop in Western Australia, is visiting the Canadian Prairies hoping to find students to do just that. He was at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon Nov. 3 explaining work opportunities in Australia available for Canadian university students in farm machinery operation and livestock rearing. The goal of Coldbeck’s temporary working holiday program is to allow agriculture students to relate their fields of study with experience in operating farm equipment or livestock management while visiting Australia on an extended holiday. “This isn’t a new concept,” said Coldbeck. About 8,000 Canadians come to Australia on working visas every year, he said. “What I am aiming on doing is establishing an ongoing arrangement” for university students to work in Australia temporarily, said Coldbeck. Students interested in the program must first apply for an Australian working holiday visa, which allows the applicants to stay in Australia for up to a year, said Coldbeck. Students can re-apply for an extension of an additional year. Once a visa has been granted, students must contact Coldbeck to arrange a job placement. Students are also responsible for travel related expenses. They can expect to receive about $20 Aus an hour, with meals and accommodations provided by their employers. Jay Balfour is a fourth year agriculture business student who was present during Coldbeck’s presentation. With eight years of farm experience, the opportunity is appealing, he said. It is a way “to see how other people do agriculture in the world … and how different the industry is somewhere else,” said Balfour. He said if he goes, he would spend a few months working and about a month travelling throughout Australia. Earl Bohachewski, a fourth year agronomy student, welcomes the opportunity to farm in Australia but said he will hold off on making a final decision until after graduation. Students interested in the job offers must have a Canadian passport.

GRAIN INDUSTRY | SYSTEM REVIEW

New committee to review post-CWB grain handling Crop logistics working group | Grain industry representatives will also help facilitate the federal government’s rail freight service review BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz made a brief stop in Saskatoon this week to announce the formation of a new industry group that will identify and discuss issues related to grain logistics in Western Canada. The crop logistics working group will comprise grain industry stakeholders including producer groups, shippers, grain elevator companies and railways. The group will provide a forum for all players in the grain industry sup-

ply chain to exchange views, share information and address concerns arising from Western Canada’s transition to an open grain marketing environment. Representation in the group will be announced in the near future and is expected to include about 10 members. Ritz announced the formation of the new group during a speech to members of the Inland Terminal Association of Canada Nov. 7. “This group will be comprised of experts from across the entire (sector), including the grain elevator community, and will take a hard look

at the key issues affecting the overall supply chain,” said Ritz. The crop logistics group will also play a role in facilitating the Rail Freight Service Review process being conducted by Transport Canada. The rail freight service review is aimed at creating a new commercial environment in which railways and shippers — including the grain industry — rely more heavily on commercial service agreements rather than government regulation. Key to the new system is the development of a new template service agreement that will serve as a blueprint for

business transactions between shippers and railway companies. Another key element of the rail service review process will be the formation of a streamlined commercial dispute resolution process that allows aggrieved parties to raise concerns related to poor rail service or breach of contractual obligations by shippers. Rail service has been an ongoing concern for the western Canadian grain industry, which has often complained of poor service related to the placement of hopper cars at inland locations and the timely movement of grain to port facilities.

Details of the dispute resolution process and the template service agreements will be worked out in the coming months, preferably before the elimination of single-desk grain marketing in Western Canada, said Ritz. He also repeated assurances that the rights of producer car shipper and short-line railway associations will be protected in Western Canada’s new marketing and rail transportation environment. “The bottom line is that we want to ensure that the agriculture sector is well positioned to play a more constructive role as the facilitation process unfolds.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

HORSES | BORDER RESTRICTIONS

Horses will soon be limited when crossing border BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Slaughter and feeder horses entering Canada from the United States as of Jan. 1, 2012, will have to come through one of eight designated border crossings. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced Oct. 31 the new measures are designed to verify that horses are humanely transported in compliance with federal animal health regulations. “The CFIA continues to find that the majority of producers and transporters are strongly committed to treating animals with care. However, humane transport issues have been identified in this industry,” said CFIA media relations spokesperson Lisa Gauthier via e-mail. The agency evaluated border crossings and found some didn’t have facilities needed to unload and inspect horses. Safety of veterinary staff was also an issue. Three of the designated border points are in Western Canada at Kingsgate, B.C., Coutts, Alta., and North Portal, Sask. The other designated crossings are in Sarnia, Windsor and Niagara Falls in Ontario, St. Bernard de Lacolle, Que., and Woodstock, N.B. CFIA veterinarians staff each of the designated points during regular business hours. Though feeder and slaughter horses are not always unloaded from trucks at the border, inspectors can order that done if they are unable to conduct what they deem to be an adequate inspection, the CFIA said. “Horses may be unloaded if the veterinarian determines that further inspection is necessary, for example, to assess an injury, verify identification or the condition of the horses.” Shipments will be allowed to cross the border only when CFIA inspectors are on duty and transporters will have to make an appointment for inspection at least 24 hours before arriving at the port of entry. The new rules apply only to slaughter and feeder animals. Riding and breeding horses will not be affected by the change, the CFIA said. access=subscriber section=news,markets,none section=news,livestock,none

LIVESTOCK | BEEF EXPORTS

Japan may review import rules on Canadian beef Restrictions could ease | Japan is reported to be considering allowing beef from animals younger than 30 months BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU AND REUTERS

Speculation is rampant that Japan will review its import rules to ease restrictions on beef from Canada and the United States. At present Japan allows imports of North American beef only from animals younger than 20 months due to fears about BSE. The rule, imposed in 2005, has caused imports from both Canada and the U.S. to plum-

met and Australia to gain market share. Now Japan is said to be considering a change to allow beef from animals younger than 30 months, possibly as early as next year. Ryder Lee, manager of federal and provincial relations for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said Nov. 1 that his organization is encouraged by the news but cautious. “I’ve seen enough of these files that I don’t like to get too excited or too down in the mouth about any of the

opportunities. It will be what it is, when it is,” said Lee. Integration of the Canadian and American beef markets will likely result in Japan making the change for meat from both countries, if and when that occurs, he added. “I’d be surprised if they’re going to change their rules around BSE for the U.S. if they don’t change for Canada as well. I’m not going to make forecasts on that.” The number of BSE cases worldwide fell to 45 in 2010 from 37,316 in

1992, according to Japanese officials. Lee speculated that Japan might also be consider ing new r ules because of supply issues relating to the earthquake, tsunami and resulting nuclear disaster it experienced earlier this year. “Maybe that terrible thing happening will be what precipitates them” to accept more beef, said Lee. In a presentation to Alberta Beef Producers in Fort Macleod, Lee presented data indicating that Japanese acceptance of under-30-month

available against the most common and costly respiratory diseases in a single shot.

ONCE vaccinated, twice covered. Only VistaTM Once SQ combines an avirulent-live Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida culture with a single-dose, five-way, modifiedlive virus vaccine (IBR, BVD type 1 and type 2, PI3, BRSV).

A Saskatchewan farmer who fought passionately for the right to market his own grain has died just as the legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly appears to be near the end of its journey through Parliament. Art Mainil, who farmed near Benson, was 78 and had cancer. He died Nov. 5. He was well known for his opposition to the wheat board’s export monopoly and worked for years to see the change that is now coming. He unsuccessfully tried politics, running as an independent in the federal riding of Souris-Moose Mountain in 1993 and for a seat at the CWB board table. He also used other tactics to make his points. In the mid 1990s he was among hundreds of prairie farmers who trucked their own grain across the international border and then spent years in court defending themselves. An obituary said Mainil was interested in anything that made sense and was the right thing to do. It said freedom was something to fight for every day. Among Mainil’s accomplishments was the establishment of Weyburn Inland Terminal in the mid-1970s. As a member of the then-Palliser Wheat Growers’ Association, now the Western Canadian Wheat Growers, Mainil was the driving force behind the project. Mainil is survived by his wife, three daughters, and three grandchildren. Funeral services were scheduled for Nov. 10 in Estevan.

WESTERNER DAIRY SHOWCASE | SALE

Sale averages $3,100 on animals offered Producers ready to buy | Top performing cows at Westerner usually successful at Toronto’s Royal BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — For dairy producers like Don Chalack, the Westerner Dairy Showcase in Red Deer is a dry run for the national spectacle, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto. “This show is a good gauge for those going to Toronto. They need to be in first or second place here to go,” Chalack said. Cows that have performed well at this large western show have gone on to win the big awards in Toronto. The Red Deer event includes a sale, which this year averaged $3,100 with 63 head. Chalack had the high seller with a 2007 female that sold for $7,600 to Simon Baumann of Kipling, Sask. The cow was owned in partnership with Dennis Reimer of Coaldale, Alta. Sale offerings varied from calves barely two months old to more mature purebred animals. Producers seemed to be in a buying mood as they worked to remove old cows, rebuild herds with younger females and boost their on-farm milk production. “Slaughter prices are exceptional so guys are not afraid to cull heavily,” said Chalack, who raises 50 purebred Holsteins on his Wendon Holsteins farm near Innisfail with his wife, Wendy, son, Logan, and son-in-law, Scot Hastie. It is a smaller than average herd, but they focus more on marketing genetics than relying on a milk cheque. Chalack has twice been named a master breeder, which is based on points accumulated from raising superior bloodlines. The drive to improve genetics is

common across the industry, said Orville Schmidt, manager of the Red Deer sale and national director for Alberta with Holstein Canada. “Demand for milk cows has been really good,” he said. Commercial and purebred sales have been strong and exports of live animals are improving. The shaky world economy has not stalled orders for bred heifers. However, S ch mi d t sai d d e al s hav e be e n mostly by private treaty rather than governments buying shiploads of females. He said Canadians can offer genetic power, and the analysis of genomics is the latest tool to upgrade cows. The dairy industry has always maintained extensive records on a number of traits, so adding DNA information makes selection even more predictable, he added. “It improves your odds,” he said. “DNA information can see which cows are on the high end and the low end.” It is more common to see cows yield 45 kilograms of milk per day in their second or third lactation. Lots of herds are averaging 35 kg per day, which is a considerable improvement in the last decade. “Genetics identify the cows that can do it with ease,” Schmidt said. In addition, improved cow care and management have made it possible for cows to stay healthy longer. As well, farmers are looking for higher producing cows. Alberta Milk reports that although the province has been producing close to its to its monthly quota since January, total production in the province continues to fall short of the quota allocated at the farm level. Schmidt said this has been a prairie-wide problem because of two years of poor growing weather. Cold, access=subscriber section=livestock,markets,news

wet springs and delayed summers affected the feed quality and cows’ milk production dropped. “The feed doesn’t have enough energy and the cows are not milking as well as they should,” he said. Also, some farmers are just starting to remove older, lower producing cows. Cull dairy cows were worth five cents a pound or less after the discovery of BSE in Canada in 2003 closed borders. Producers held onto them even though their production was falling behind.

Fa r m e r s a re now lo o king f o r replacements to rebuild milk production. “We want to fill our own milk demand,” Schmidt said. “People want to get their production up so we can look after our own market.”

last week in Red Deer. However, in Alberta alone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where almost 2.5 million pigs are shipped each year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that represents about 25 liner loads of hogs, said Whittington. Hogs that are hurt or die in transit represent a significant economic impact on producers and processors and raise animal welfare concerns, he said. Addressing transport stress starts on the farm, said animal behaviour scientist Jennifer Brown of the Prairie Swine Centre and Indiana-based veterinarian Matt Ritter, swine adviser for Elanco Animal Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Producers put a lot of time and energy into producing a good market pig,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think, sometimes, as soon as that truck backs up to the loading dock, the adrenalin level rises in the barn and I think we start throwing away good money if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay attention to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;? A Prairie Swine Centre study looked at 10 farms in Saskatchewan last summer to identify design and handling factors that contribute to stress levels hogs experience in shipping. Lighting, distractions, the layout of loading facilities and the skill and attitude of handlers all played a role in how well the pigs were able to cope with loading and hauling, said Brown. Animals stressed while loading will suffer more injuries and fatigue and are more likely to die in shipping than those handled more appropriately, starting with diet and handling while they are being fattened for slaughter, said Ritter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transport losses are a multi-factorial problem and (can) be impacted by growers, loading crews, truck drivers and handlers at the packing plant. In order to reduce these dead and non-ambulatory pigs, we need to have teamwork and communication among all these parties involved in the process,â&#x20AC;? he said.

cise the animals get on the farm, how they are handled at all stages, the intensity of handling, genetics, distance of travel, temperature and humidity. Pigs handled aggressively in loading are much more likely to be injured or fatigued in transport, said both Brown and Ritter. Producers marketing to the Olymel plant in Red Deer can see detailed data on the pigs they ship and identify where they could make improvements, said veter inar ian Matt Schoonderwoerd, head of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality assurance department. Data on each carcass are kept from each stage of the line, starting from the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival at the plant, with various factors affecting the level of return each farm will see from that animal. Schoonderwoerd stressed the costs of injuries and fatigue, stating that it is crucial to withdraw feed for 12 to 18 hours before the animals are loaded. Normal stresses of shipping will paralyze the intestinal tract, said Schoonderwoerd. If there is food in the gut, that pig can bloat and may die, he said. He noted a marked variation in health scores among producers who ship to the Red Deer plant. He recommended that all hog producers analyze their plant data and find out where they could make changes that would increase the return they realize for their pigs.

DEFICIENCY | MICRONUTRIENTS

Selenium deficiency in beef cows common at end of grazing season ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

recent article in the Canadian Veterinary Journal examined how common selenium deficiency occurred in beef cows across Western Canada. Selenium is an essential micromineral that is a component of five anti-oxidant proteins within the ruminant animal that help prevent tissue damage. A deficiency in selenium often produces a nutritional muscular degeneration in young growing animals. Selenium deficiency has been associated with clinical and subclinical conditions in cattle, including cardiac and skeletal muscle damage, increased calf losses, reproductive inefficiency, retained placenta and reduced weight gain. It may also suppress the immune system and generally increase susceptibility to infectious disease. However, the most common presentation of selenium deficiency is seen in young rapidly growing calves, lambs and kids. These young animals are usually born to dams that have consumed a selenium deficient diet during their gestation period. The primary effect of selenium deficiency is muscular degeneration in the skeletal or cardiac muscles. Affected young calves may show signs of muscle weakness, stiffness and difficulty rising. Their muscles may also become firm and painful. It may take more effort to breathe if respiratory muscles are affected, while the calf often dies suddenly when cardiac muscles are affected. Veterinarians can recognize the signs of selenium deficiency during post-mortems by looking for pale discoloured muscles with white streaks in the muscle fibres. This has led to the common name of white muscle disease for calves that are affected with selenium deficiency. The recently published study by University of Saskatchewan veterinarians collected blood samples from 781 beef cows in 66 western Canadian herds at the end of the grazing season. The herds were partially selected for their reproductive performance: 31 had pregnancy rates of less than 90 percent and 35 had pregnancy rates of greater than 90 percent. It was interesting to see that only 56 percent of the herds received mineral supplementation while on pasture, mostly in the forms of loose minerals, blocks or tubs, while 44 percent received no minerals while on pasture. More than 90 percent of the herds were supplemented after the grazing season with some form of mineral supplementation. When blood samples were tested for selenium levels, 10.6 percent of the cows were found to be deficient in selenium at the end of the grazing season. As well, more than 86.8 percent of the cows were either deficient in selenium (less than access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

.025 ppm) or had less than adequate levels of selenium (less than 0.08 ppm) In total, 31.8 percent of the herds had at least one selenium deficient animal. The authors of the study could not show any associations between selenium levels in the herd and the risk of non-pregnancy, stillbirths, weak calves or retained placentas. However, herds with low selenium levels in their cows at the end of the grazing season had an increased risk of nutritional myopathy (white muscle disease) in the next year’s calf crop. The study included post-mortems

of almost all deaths on the farm, and nutritional myopathy was a common diagnosis. It was seen in six percent of aborted fetuses, 20 percent of stillborn calves, 46 percent of neonatal calf deaths and 40 percent of older calf deaths. Selenium moves through a soilplant-animal cycle, and selenium concentrations were lowest in gray or black soil and areas where the forage was selenium deficient. Mineral supplementation after the grazing season may have helped prevent potential problems that might have occurred due to selenium deficiency.

This study demonstrated that many areas of Western Canada are selenium deficient and that supplementation is necessary to prevent problems with clinical selenium deficiency. Producers should work with their nutritionist and veterinarian to ensure that cows have adequate mineral supplementation to reduce the potential losses caused by white muscle disease.

Strong prices and demand for agricultural commodities hold great promise for Canadian crop and livestock farmers but profitability will depend on managing cost of inputs such as seed and fuel, says the Bank of Montreal. | MICHELLE

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian farmers are facing a “bountiful outlook” for 2012 and coming years, say the Bank of Montreal’s agricultural and farm finance experts. But farmers need to make sure they don’t lose it all in bad swings during volatile times. “It’s extremely important that our producers put more emphasis on margin management, particularly on the expense side,” said BMO Saskatchewan agricultural lending manager Glen Snyder during a panel discussion after the bank released a report on the short and medium term outlooks for Canadian farmers. “There needs to be some additional tools developed, particularly how to hedge fuel costs, hedge chemical and fertilizer expense and seed expense, because in the cash crop sector those three major inputs . . . run you anywhere from 46 to 72 percent of your variable costs.” BMO issued a report Oct. 31 that forecasts growth in both crops and livestock production in 2012 and beyond, led by farmers reacting to good prices driven by demand growth in emerging markets like China. “Emerging markets are more important in terms of growth than Europe or North America,” said BMO Capital Markets’ chief agricultural commodities analyst Kenrick Jordan. “Agriculture is not as cyclical as automobiles. It’s more populationcentred. It’s less discretionaryspending centred.” Canadian overall crop production returns dropped in 2011, the bank said, because of moisture-induced production problems on the Prairies, not for any price or return related issue. Livestock production boomed, increasing about four and a half percent compared to 2010. Over the next few years, overall farm production should increase two to three percent per year, which is higher than its historical average growth. “We certainly have a bountiful outlook for Canadian agriculture,” said BMO chief agricultural lending manager David Rinneard. High crop and meat prices should ensure that there are lots of reasons farmers will want to boost production and sales. Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett agreed. “At the end of the day the fundamentals, I think, are really sound and there’s a positive attitude in the agricultural community,” said Bonnett. The forecast for continued high prices means farmers can improve their farm situations, either through

increasing productivity or reducing risk exposure, Snyder said. “There’s an opportunity here for expansion and secondly for those who do have the higher debt levels, there’s the opportunity here to reduce their debt levels,” said Snyder. But all three members of the panel said the volatility of input prices is a deadly risk to farm profitability, and it is not always easy to hedge. “There needs to be much more focus on the expense items, the risk management there,” said Snyder. “I view the biggest challenge for our cash crops and our livestock producers going forward is margin management, which simply means squeezing as much profit as possible out of every unit of production.” With an average 59 percent of a farmer’s variable costs comprising fuel, fertilizer, chemical and seed

purchases made months before a crop is harvested and sold, protecting the price spreads between input and production is essential. “Management of these costs are extremely important. It’s all about margin. We can talk about price all we want, but what really counts at the end of the day is the bottom line and that is your margin,” said Snyder. Rinneard said farmers need to play out different scenarios for their projected finances, including seeing what would happen if inputs went up unexpectedly and crop or livestock sales prices went down. “We always encourage them to stress-test their business model with aspects of their business model that are unhedged,” said Rinneard. “They should stress-test that and make sure they, regardless of the anticipated circumstances, that

GRAIN HANDLING | SHAREHOLDERS

Viterra shareholder group pushes for governance change Replacement of board members challenged | Shareholders want more input into selections after two board members step down BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s largest grain company faces a shareholder challenge related to internal governance issues and the selection of new board members. Viterra’s largest shareholder, the Alberta Investment Management Corp. (AIMCo), criticized the company’s leadership last week, suggesting its plans to replace two outgoing board members are vague, insufficient and unresponsive to shareholder concerns. AIMCo, which owns 17 percent of Viterra’s publicly traded shares, played a key role in financing the company’s acquisition of ABB Grain in September 2009, a deal that was worth an estimated $1.4 billion.

“(AIMCo) will not accept Viterra’s vague plans for board renewal, further platitudes about seeking shareholder input or closed door processes on important governance issues,” AIMCo said in a written statement dated Nov. 1. “AIMCo does not believe the current Viterra board has the required skills or expertise to meet the company’s leadership needs as a growing international agribusiness.” The investment company said it remains committed to Viterra’s longterm success. Viterra’s share price rallied last fall and into the winter, peaking at more than $12 per share this spring, but has since drifted lower to a range between $9 and $11. The AIMCo statement brings to

light a lingering disagreement that has been brewing behind closed doors for some time. In its Nov. 1 statement, AIMCo officials said they have identified a number of governance changes that are critical to Viterra’s long-term success. The investment company said it has been trying to engage Viterra’s board for the past 18 months in meaningful discussions about the process used to select new board members. AIMCo wants Viterra to adopt a process that would allow shareholders more input in making board selections. Viterra has said an internal committee will work with two international search firms to identify suit-

able candidates for the board vacancies. It would then make a list of potential replacements available to shareholders at the company’s annual meeting in Calgary next March. The company has confirmed that Viterra directors Vic Bruce and Paul Daniel will not stand for re-election at that meeting. AIMCo suggested the company’s plan to identify a slate of potential replacements minimizes shareholder input and will result “in further entrenchment of an unresponsive and unaligned board that may limit the company’s long-term potential.… The only acceptable course of action would be for Viterra to work collaboratively with AIMCo in a meaningful way to identify appropri-

ate directors for nomination.” In a written response dated Nov. 2, Viterra said it is committed to ensuring its board comprises the best directors it can identify with appropriate skill sets. “At this time, Viterra will not respond to statements made in AIMCo’s press release,” the company said. “Since AIMCo first raised the issues in February 2011, Viterra has discussed with AIMCo views about board composition and has invited AIMCo to re-engage in such dialogue in a constructive manner.” AIMCo, an independent investment arm of the Alberta government, manages more than $70 billion worth of assets through public sector pensions, endowments and other government-owned funds. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Bankruptcy: what you need to know about managing it TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

eing in business is risky and sometimes requires making tough decisions about our financial future. Bankruptcy is often considered when cash is tight and the ability to pay creditors becomes a monthly battle. It is a process that is available to help insolvent people and corporations, but is only one of the options available for those facing financial crisis. Talking with a trustee in bankruptc y will ensure that you are aware of all options available and determine the right one for you. Those who file an assignment in bankruptcy are responsible for disclosing personal and financial information to the licensed trustee when the assignment is filed and throughout the bankruptcy process until they are discharged from the bankruptcy. This also applies to the owner/ director of a corporation who is assigning it into bankruptcy. A stay of proceedings is in place once the bankruptcy has been filed. All legal action ceases and the unsecured creditors are required to deal directly with the trustee. On the other hand, proven secured creditors and the debtor may continue to make arrangements regarding the secured debt once certain paperwork has been filed with the trustee. You will need to determine the value of your existing assets while working with the trustee. Personal exemptions are mandated by provincial law that prevents certain assets from being seized by the trustee, as long as they have not been pledged as collateral on loans. Exempt assets include equity in a motor vehicle, equity in a personal residence, household furniture, access=subscriber section=news,none,none

medical or dental aids, tools used to earn income from an occupation, and food and clothing. The exemption values vary between provinces. Federal legislation prevents registered retirement savings plans and registered retirement income funds from being liquidated on behalf of creditors when a person declares bankruptcy. This includes registered bank deposits, registered mutual funds and self-directed plans. The only condition is that RRSP contributions made in the 12 months before bankr uptc y w ill not be exempt from seizure unless provincial law states otherwise. However, these exemptions do not extend to registered education savings plans.

People whose primary occupation is farming could keep up to 160 acres of land where the homestead is located and personal property that is needed to conduct farming operations for the next 12 months. Bankruptcy allows you to be discharged from your unsecured debt obligations, but you will still be responsible for certain debts even after you have received your discharge from bankruptcy. These debts can include secured debt, alimony and child support, student loans less than seven years after completing school, court issued fines or penalties and debts arising from fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation. You will likely not be held personally liable for debts of a corporation

declaring bankruptcy unless you have signed a personal guarantee. It is common in today’s economy to have personal guarantees attached to financing contracts, so you must be aware of this when deciding about corporate bankruptcy. It is important to be aware that directors of corporations are held personally responsible for certain debts of the corporation, including employee payroll deductions, GST, Employment Insurance premiums, Canada Pension Plan premiums and the retail sales tax. Any interest or penalties related to these items are also your personal responsibility. The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada requires that all personal bankruptcies be handled by a

trustee in bankruptcy who is licensed by the federal government’s Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. The entire filing process goes through the trustee. It is important to be aware that the trustee does not act directly on behalf of the debtor, but instead is responsible for administering the act in relation to the bankruptcy process. Furthermore, it is important for the debtor to have open and honest communications with the trustee throughout the bankruptcy process to receive a discharge from bankruptcy in a timely manner.

Farmers love this. Prairie wheat growers are turning to midge tolerant wheat for midge control and high yields. And everyone wants this to continue. That’s the point of the Stewardship Agreement. The Agreement limits the use of farm-saved seed to one generation past Certified seed. It’s a simple step that keeps the interspersed refuge system at the desired level, preventing a build-up of resistant midge. Protect your yields and grade, and preserve this important tool for years to come. What’s not to love about that?

GM crops endanger ecosystem, U.S. lawsuit alleges Concern for nature sanctuaries | Groups allege federal government broke the law allowing planting of GM crops without environmental reviews WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — Environmental and food safety groups have sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, demanding it end the cultivation of genetically modified crops on midwestern wildlife refuges. The groups claim the federal agency broke the law by entering into agre em ent s w it h f a r me r s that allowed planting of GM crops on refuge land in eight U.S. states without environmental reviews required by U.S. law. The plaintiffs said most of the crops at issue are Monsanto’s Roundup Ready crops, which they argue have

been shown to “foster an epidemic of super weeds” and create other problems for the environment, according to the plaintiffs. “National Wildlife Refuges are sanctuaries for migratory birds, native grasses, and endangered species,” said Paige Tomaselli, an attorney for the Center for Food Safety, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. “Allowing pesticide-promoting, GE crops degrades these vital ecosystems and is antithetical to the basic purpose of our refuge system. Worse still is approval without meaningful review of these crops’ impacts.” The lawsuit is the fourth in a series

The groups claim the government violated the National Environmental Policy Act by failing to do a complete environmental impact statement before allowing GM crops to be planted in the refuge areas. They also claim violations of wildlife protection laws. In the suit, the plaintiffs state that

studies have shown that cultivation of herbicide-tolerant GM crops such as Roundup Ready soybeans and corn dramatically increases the use of herbicides. The primary herbicide used on U.S. farmland is glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup. The plaintiffs argue that studies have shown that heavy use of glyphosate degrading soil ecosystems and pollutes wetlands, streams, lakes, and rivers. Herbicides also harm wildlife habitats and in many instances directly harm plants and wildlife, including listed endangered species, according to the lawsuit.

Still, the NDP vowed to oppose the bill because it gives too much power to the rest of Canada and not enough to Quebec.

Still, that vote has become an NDP clarion call for special electoral status for Quebec. Last week after two days of parliamentary debate, the government cut off discussion and sent the bill to committee for examination. Under the terms of an aggressive Conservative agenda of legislative action, it wants the bill through Parliament by the end of the year so the seat redistribution can be in effect for the next election in four years.

CENOTAPHS | RESEARCH

Cenotaph research finds intriguing stories, mistakes Vimy Ridge inspires research | Inaccuracies blamed on faulty records BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The names of the fallen in the First and Second World Wars are etched in the granite cenotaph that stands in front of Lethbridge city hall. They intrigued fourth-year University of Lethbridge Canadian studies student Brett Clifton. And intrigue is what he found when he began to document the men and their stories. Some who died in the war are not listed. Some are listed who did not die. And some who are listed never existed. Clifton attributes the errors to faulty records, transient populations, spelling errors and the foibles of human nature. He should know, because he spent an estimated 3,528 hours of research time looking into the histories of the 262 names of First World War casualties and 130 names of Second World War dead. Clifton published his findings in two volumes of They Never Came Home: The Lethbridge Cenotaph Project, which are available online at www. uleth.ca/lib. He also shared the information, along with photos of individuals and in many cases their gravesites, with descendants of the war dead. “That was the most rewarding part,” said Clifton. “I couldn’t have imagined a better way to spend my time.” But before the sharing came the research. Inspired by a school trip to Vimy Ridge, the Canadian First World War memorial in France, Clifton decided to look into each name on the cenotaph back home. He found 30 spelling errors in the First World War list and three in the Second World War list. Some of the errors had been there since 1931 and

BRETT CLIFTON STUDENT

some were accidentally introduced when the cenotaph was refurbished in the 1980s due to weathering and vandalism. J.P. Robertson had become I.P. Robertson, for example. Banter should have been Baxter and Muirhead should have been Moorhead. Using census records, attestation forms, Commonwealth War Graves Commission records and dogged patience, Clifton forged his way to what he believes are truths about the list. Yet mysteries remain. He found nothing about three people listed as fallen in the Second World War: A. Hunham, L. Cherberland and P.J. McCreig. Clifton speculates they are accidental duplicate names referring to A. Huxham, L. Chamberland and P.J.M. Greig, who are also on the list. He has been unable to identify five men from the First World War — J. Bird, W. Hill, A.N. Humphries, J. Wilson and C. Wood — and two from the Second — T.J. Russell and J.D. White. As well, “a surprising number of people who were alive and well in 1931 are on the cenotaph,” he said. In several cases where two brothers enlisted, the survivor was listed instead of the deceased. Then there’s the story of James Peter Robertson, who was awarded the Victoria Cross. He was from Medicine Hat and from everywhere else too.

“Robertson was working for the Canadian Pacific Railway and when he died (in the First World War), all the towns and cities on the CPR line from Medicine Hat to the (Crowsnest) Pass claimed Robertson on their cenotaphs,” said Clifton. “So you see him in Medicine Hat, you see him in Lethbridge, you see him in Fort Macleod, you see him in the pass.” James Wordie, who served with the 113th Lethbridge Highlanders, ended up on the cenotaph with the fallen, even though he died in Calgary in 1976, according to Clifton’s research. “He was supposed to come back in 1919 and didn’t come back. His wife and everybody assumed he was dead. Then he turned up. He told everyone that he (had been) knocked unconscious, lost his dog tags, was left for dead, and then picked up. Since no one knew who he was, they couldn’t report that he was all right.” However, it turned out that Wordie spent part of the war hospitalized with venereal disease and was loath to tell his wife, Clifton said. It was one example of stories he uncovered involving human frailty, but his book is meant as a tribute, not an exposé, so he chose circumspection in reporting various details. He also strived for universality of treatment in his book, so every account has the same structure and length regardless of rank. Clifton believes the list on the cenotaph is incomplete and represents only about half of the locals who made the ultimate sacrifice. But the transient nature of people in the early part of the 20th century, lost records and faulty memories couldn’t be overcome. Even if all the names were known,

The Lethbridge cenotaph contains the names of fallen soldiers. A “death penny,” below, bearing the name of the deceased soldier and the inscription, “he died for freedom and honour,” was given to families. | BARB GLEN PHOTOS

Clifton said changing the cenotaph is an emotionally charged issue and better left alone. As for those who want to undertake similar historical research projects, his advice is simple. “The most important thing is don’t miss the chance to talk to people before it’s too late. It’s important to write the stories down from the people who were there.”

Dining with the Stars’ 13-part TV series pairs chefs with food producers Increasing awareness | Chefs, celebrities and food producers celebrate Canadian, local and organic offerings during national organic week BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Take chefs from 13 Saskatchewan restaurants, add produce from 17 organic farmers, and stir until meals are ready. Film from start to finish. Dining with the Stars, a project of the Saskatchewan Organic Directorate with Smart Ideas Creative Communications, took about a year from gathering the ingredients to producing a 13-part television series now

Sheldon and Gerry Scheck supplied organic Highland beef to Regina’s Beer Bros. restaurant, which served beef cakes for the recent gala launch of the TV series. A relatively new venture for the family at Cactus Lake, Sask., the opportunity to sell whole animals to chefs who will be able to use the entire carcass is a goal reached. “That’s kind of what we’re working

they want and they’ll figure out how to use it.” The chefs’ creativity was on display at the gala. Chef Anthony McCarthy of The Saskatoon Club showed off shrimp, squash, cocktail sauce and sunflower seeds on a lettuce leaf. Not all the ingredients were from Saskatchewan, he said, but the creation displayed what is possible. Milton Robello, executive chef at Regina’s Hotel Saskatchewan, worked his magic with beets and goat cheese.

The celebration and launch took place during national Organic Week. Marion McBride of the Saskatchewan Organic Directorate said it was a year since she first had the idea to pair chefs and organic produce and showcase the result. She wanted to create awareness of organic and local food, but when she took the idea to Aj Thakker at Smart Ideas, it became a TV series. “I hope that we can take this movement forward,” she said.

LOOKING BACK | ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE

Fiery crashes, close calls experienced by wartime aviators Book recalls battles, tragedies and camaraderie | Duddridge brothers only survivors of 13 men who served from Hanley, Sask.

BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

At age 93, Lew Duddridge has filled the pages of a book, The Flying Duddridges of Hanley, with reflections of two brothers’ experiences during the Second World War. Duddridge joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in June of 1940 with his brother, Len, now deceased. Their war experiences and survival are remarkable considering that they were the only two of 13 men from Hanley, Sask., who survived the war. Duddridge felt lucky to have survived the war, but one near death experience stands out. It occurred in 1944 on a mission to bomb targets in Essen, Germany. Duddridge said it was an uncomfortable mission. “It took forever,” he said. His plane was off its planned course after being attacked by German fighter planes. While trying to avoid being shot down, he remembered feeling that the aircraft was hit by enemy fire. He nevertheless continued with his mission to destroy enemy targets. He became alarmed after hearing a loud noise from one of the Wellington aircraft engines. Five minutes later, he heard another loud noise before the engine stopped working.

The aircraft was unable to maintain altitude with only one functioning engine. It began a steady decent into the North Sea below, but Duddridge was able to land the badly damaged aircraft at a nearby Scottish airport. He attributed the safe landing to ground effect, which allowed the aircraft to maintain enough distance between the sky and water surface to prevent a crash. That is possible only if a sufficient amount of air is trapped between the surface of the water and the wings of the descending aircraft. “The fear of water was what made that trip so terrible,” said Duddridge. Death was a familiar visitor during the war. He can still remember the first time he witnessed the fiery crash of six air force men in the war. He was at an air base in Great Britain watching an aircraft take off. Moments after leaving the ground, smoke billowed from the plane and shortly after, the aircraft was engulfed in flames. He believes it’s important to share these experiences because people need to know the cost of war. Another reason for writing the book is to include his brother’s experiences during the war. Duddridge called it a privilege to serve in the air force.

Obviously, the decision of who stays, your wife or son, is one the three of you have to make. My guess is that you are a pleaser, always working and trying to make everyone happy. You have likely been bouncing between your son

and wife for a long time, trying to please each of them and always being criticized or threatened regardless of what you do. Is it possible that you have spent so much time caught between the two that you have lost sight of what is important for you, that you are not able to pursue your own goals? Take a week out of your life and remove yourself as much as possible from your wife and son. Don’t drink while you are on this holiday and use only your prescription drugs. This week is going to be your opportunity to rediscover yourself and resurrect those values and objectives

that you hold dear. You will most likely begin this exercise feeling lonely and guilty about being away from your family. But if you can stick to the program, all of that guilt and fear will gradually diminish and you can reaffirm what is important to you. It will remind you of the kind of home or family you would like them to help you create and the spiritual, social, financial and psychological factors that are important to you. The more you assert yourself and declare what is important to you, the less you need to consider having anyone leave the home. The decision for them is whether

they are going to join you to build a home in which all of you can find the love and respect you deserve. I understand that what I am suggesting is difficult. It is somewhat unusual for you to become assertive when you are used to subservience. I suggest you find a counsellor to help you with this rediscovery. The path for better relations with you for your wife and your son will be clear.

Soldiers came to rural Manitoba from throughout the British Commonwealth to train for war. Camp Hughes, which was located west of Carberry, Man., was used as a military training base from 1910 to 1934. Following the outbreak of war in 1914, the camp was expanded to train new recruits. By 1915, after the formation of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, the camp had increased to 11,000. By 1916, it represented Manitoba’s second largest city, with more than 27,000 troops in training. Camp Hughes was or iginally n a m e d Ca m p S e w e l l , b u t w a s changed in 1915 to honour MajorGeneral Sam Hughes, Canada’s minister of militia and defence. Over the years, more than 38,000 troops trained there. The troops used white bell tents, but permanent buildings were also established, including offices, retail stores, six movie theatres, photo studios, post office, hospital, swimming pool and prison. Physical conditioning and grenade and bayonet fighting were important parts of the soldiers’ day. A rifle range sported 500 targets. In addition, many trenches were dug to train the troops in trench warfare. The trenches were developed to copy the scale and living arrangements for 1,000 soldiers.

Enemy trenches were created on higher ground and the men had to practise going over the top through barbed-wire and other barriers, and across no man’s land to attack these positions. These zigzagging trenches across the gently rolling prairie, although partially eroded, filled in and covered with thick grass and prairie flowers in summer, remain visible today. They represent the only First World War site that still exists in North America. Training eased off in 1917 and 1918 as voluntary enlistments declined, but after the war, it was reopened for summer militia training. This continued until 1933 when the camp was dismantled as part of an unemployment relief project. Some buildings and materials were moved to the Canadian Forces base at Shilo, Man. The area was occasionally used for training during the Second World War. In 1993, Camp Hughes was designated a provincial heritage site. The cemetery is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and contains the graves of six soldiers and 19 civilians, including several infants. The soldiers include a couple from Great Britain and one from the United States, who died of illness while stationed there. A commemorative plaque near the cemetery marks the Camp Hughes site and outlines its importance in Canadian history. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

ON THE FARM | IRRIGATED OPERATION

Farm records one of its best years Balancing farm work, service | Treating farm like a business works for Vandervalks BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Stephen Vandervalk’s smart phone rings every 10 minutes or so and when he doesn’t answer, it emits that distant bell-like sound indicating another message awaits his attention. The president of Grain Growers of Canada, who also operates a large farm with his two brothers and father, has no shortage of subjects vying for his time. Stephen, the third in a family of four, is the overall manager of the Vandervalk family farm north of Fort Macleod, which has been in the family for four generations. As such, he does the buying, selling and marketing of the farm’s range of cereals, oilseeds, pulses and hay. Brother Brian does the day-to-day work with the equipment, farmyard and field operations. Youngest brother Daniel just rejoined the farm operation and their father, James, runs another business in nearby Fort Macleod. This was a good year for the farm. It was wetter than normal and yields were among the top two or three that Stephen and Brian have seen. Their region typically tends toward insufficient moisture, but 1,500 acres of the farm are irrigated, which reduces risk. Risk and reward are uppermost in the minds of the two brothers, who view their operation as a business, pure and simple. “At the end of the day, farming is a business. That’s just kind of the way it is. We need to be competitive and we’re not just competing against ourselves anymore. We are competing against Russia, we’re competing against Australia and Brazil,” said Stephen. “We need to be as efficient as possible, and sometimes that includes a certain critical size, critical mass as far as running an operation.” Brian agreed that romantic notions about farming have little place in today’s competitive marketplace. “If there’s no profit in something, we’re not going to keep doing it just because my dad did it and his dad did it. We will adapt our business always to the current situation.” Both brothers left the farm to get post-secondary education and then returned. With a limited initial land base, they planted the largest black currant crop in Canada at the time. “We thought that would be the way to value-add so we could bring more families on the farm,” recalled Stephen. But marketing the crop in the early 1990s proved problematic so they decided to plow up the currants, get rid of the cattle herd and concentrate on farming. The decision was made possible when an uncle quit farming and the brothers were able to buy his land. Improved commodity prices have put the farm in a good position, said Stephen, who is encouraged by market analysts’ comments about agriculture’s bright future. One analyst has suggested that farmers will one day be driving Lamborghinis, or at least be able to afford them, but the brothers joked that they don’t plan to order any luxury cars. Rather, they are encouraged that agriculture is taken more seriously now as a business and a vocation. “There’s some farmers that are doing very, very well, and I don’t think we should be embarrassed by

that,” Stephen said. “Farming has changed, especially in the last five years with profitability coming back and people coming back. We’ve got a lot of young farmers in this area. It’s changing. It’s high technology. We’re not looking for handouts.” Brian agreed. “Some people think ‘corporate farm’ is a swear word. They throw it out there like it’s a negative thing. I don’t’ understand why an incorporated business is negative.” The brothers live on acreages a few kilometres away from the main farm site. Brian and his wife, Brenda, find it safer for their two children, Evange-

line, 5, and Lochlan, 2, to be farther away from the large equipment. Stephen, who lives across the creek from Brian on another acreage, has a fiancée and is busy with Grain Growers of Canada work, which involves considerable travel and networking. He said he doesn’t regret his involvement in farm organizations, and Brian doesn’t begrudge him the effort. “I think it’s good because he doesn’t need to be on the farm all the time if I’m here, so it opens some opportunities and doors. We get to meet a lot of people and I think it’s a good thing,” said Brian.
