Trade talks spark fierce debate Canada to join Asia-Pacific talks | Tories accused of offering up supply management on ‘altar of trade’ BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Prime minister Stephen Harper signalled Nov. 13 he is reversing position and asking that Canada join the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks. Supply management will be “on the table” for discussion, but the government will defend the system, he told reporters after an Asia-Pacific Summit in Honolulu, Hawaii. The surprise announcement, which is a change in Canada’s position not to join the TPP if promises to include supply management are required, unleashed a fierce Canadian political debate and trade analyst speculation. The Conservatives immediately found themselves on the defensive in the House of Commons from opposition MPs who accused the government of preparing to offer up the

protected dairy, poultry and eggs sectors on the altar of trade. Some trade analysts were predicting that Canada might have to make concessions. “At the end of the day, if supply management is on the table, there’s going to be some deal that includes some elements of supply management,” Toronto trade lawyer Lawrence Herman from the firm Cassels Brock and Blackwell said. “If you are nervous about competition, this announcement should make you nervous.” He is not a fan of supply management special protections. On the other side is Ottawa trade specialist Peter Clark, who has worked on contract for Dairy Farmers of Canada and supports the system. Clark insisted that because many other countries have areas they want to protect in the negotiations, Cana-

da’s ability to protect supply management should hold. “Canada probably feels that they can be as generous as the United States and not give up very much on dairy,” he said. Clark said Canada privately signalled a year ago it would allow supply management to be in the negotiations, so speculation that it was the issue keeping Canada out is wrong. The TPP trade negotiations are in the early stages. The nine countries include the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Chile, and Canada and Japan indicated in Hawaii they want to join. Critics of Canada’s decision to remain on the sidelines until now have insisted a major reason is its refusal to negotiate a reduction in supply management protections. Harper announced the change in policy during a news conference at the end of the Honolulu meeting.

“We’re expressing formally our willingness to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership,” he said. “Whenever we enter negotiations, we always say that all matters are on the table, but of course, Canada will seek to defend and promote our specific interests in every single sector of the economy.” Interim New Democratic Party leader Nycole Turmel led off question period in the House of Commons Nov. 14 by accusing the Conservatives of being prepared to sell out supply management farmers. “Canada’s approach to the TPP will not be different with respect to the European Union free trade negotiations,” replied national defence minister Peter MacKay. “Of course, this includes our interest in defending and promoting our specific interests in the economy and that includes supply management.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Markets, machines at world’s largest farm show Manufacturers and farmers | Shopping for the latest technology BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANOVER, Germany — The maple leaf was clearly visible recently at the world’s largest agricultural show. “There is exposure here that you can’t find anywhere else,” said Lionel Labelle of the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership as he stood in the largest booth his organization has ever put together. “Small equipment, large equipment, specialty, you can find it here. And the marketplace knows it.” The agricultural world comes to Hanover in November every two years for Agritechnica, and this year included 2,500 exhibits in 27 giant trade fair buildings on the city’s Expo grounds. Canadian companies are spending millions of dollars to be in Hanover for the event, and they say they get their money’s worth. Pat Beaujot of Seed Hawk in Langbank, Sask., is working with his company’s European partner, Väderstad, to bring their narrow-transport, European friendly drills to the global marketplace. “We get things here we can’t through dealers or partners. We meet farmers from (other countries) who tell us what would make our products better for their farms,” Beaujot said. Brian Dean of Seed Hawk said Russian producers told the company at the last Agritechnica that farmers in the former Soviet Union aren’t ready to give up on traditional fall tillage, despite the apparent value of zero tillage. For this year’s show, Seed Hawk debuted a coulter on its parallel link hoe

Beaujot said Seed Hawk has also learned by talking to farmers at the show that there was a market for drill sizes that it was giving up on in Canada.

“Thirty, 40 and 50 foot units are very popular in these markets. So we started building them again,” he said. Farmer Randy Johner made the trip looking for technology ideas for his 17,000 acre farm in southern Saskatchewan. “The agricultural equipment technology you find here has several years on us. We can learn a lot in a

forum like this,” he said. The Midale farmer was specifically looking for vertical tillage tools that he might want to import. After two years of flooding, the Saskatchewan farmer is looking for ways to manage crop residue and prepare his seed beds. Reinhard Grandke of DLG, the farm organization that runs the show, said Canada had one vendor at the show

seven years ago. This year there were 100. Rob Ziola of STEP has invested a record $750,000 in the show. As well, Manitoba and Saskatchewan each have central pavilions at the event. It is expected the show will register a record 400,000 farmers and agricultural industry representatives this week. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

BIODIESEL | NEW PLANT

ADM announces plan for canola biodiesel plant in Alberta BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canada is getting its first big canola biodiesel plant. Archer Daniels Midland Co. and Canadian Bioenergy Corp. are proceeding with plans to build a 265 million litre facility in Lloydminster, Alta. ADM will own 60 percent of the Northern Biodiesel Ltd. Partnership venture and Canadian Bioenergy the remaining 40 percent. The facility will require oil from 500,000 tonnes of canola annually once construction is completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. “It’s significant. Any time we see an increase in demand for canola, that’s good for the canola industry overall and canola growers,” said Cory McArthur, vice-president of market development with the Canola Council of Canada. “This is obviously a pretty good vote of confidence from ADM, who already owns U.S. (biodiesel) capacity, to be choosing to invest in Canada.” The plant will be located next to ADM’s crushing facility, which exports oil to Asian food markets and

Canadian Bioenergy has been working full-time on building a

biodiesel plant in Western Canada since early 2005. The original plan was for a 225 million litre facility in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., but the company switched gears in 2009 and announced it had formed a partnership with ADM. “It has been quite a journey,” said

Canadian Bioenergy chief executive officer Doug Hooper. “It’s a happy milestone and I’m very much looking forward to the ribbon cutting day.” The road to commercialization has been full of challenges, including delayed rollout of biofuel policies, an economic recession, changes in government and a federal biofuel policy that fell short of expectations. Hooper said the turning point came when provincial and federal biodiesel mandates were implemented and Alberta extended its provincial biodiesel production tax credit, extending an offer to Northern Biodiesel in October. The company failed to secure a federal production tax credit through the ecoEnergy for Biofuels program, but it continues to work with Ottawa on making changes to that program, which expires in 2017. Tim Haig, president of the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association, said the ADM announcement is a shot in the arm for the country’s floundering biodiesel sector. The federal mandate, which was

implemented July 1, will create a market for 500 to 600 million litres of biodiesel once it is fully developed. There are 200 million litres of production right now, little of which is canola based. “This goes a long way to help reaching that (federal) demand,” said Haig. It should also help boost canola prices, said McArthur. While ADM isn’t expanding its crush capacity, the company suddenly has a new market for 500,000 tonnes of canola and any demand creation is a good thing for growers. Construction of the biodiesel plant is scheduled to commence next spring. ADM anticipates the project will create more than 100 construction jobs and 12 new full-time jobs once the plant is operational. ADM recently announced plans to double its canola seed receiving capabilities and storage capacity at its Lloydminster facility, including the construction of five new storage bins and a second receiving system. That project is expected to be complete by the end of 2011 and should substantially reduce unloading times for farmers. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CWB CHANGES | GRAIN INDUSTRY

Grain firms in wait and see mode Industry uncertainty | Some companies hesitant to contract CWB grain until challenge decided BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Lawrence Yakielashek is proceeding with caution toward an open market for wheat and barley. The president of Toepfer Canada remembers what happened the first time the federal government tried to remove barley from the single desk. The continental barley market created Aug. 1, 1993, lasted 41 days before a federal court judge overturned the Progressive Conservative government’s cabinet order, saying such a change in the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly powers could only be made through parliamentary legislation. Memories like that make grain companies such as Toepfer wary about getting ahead of themselves. Toepfer recently bought pulse processor Western Grain Cleaning and Processing Ltd. in North Battleford, Sask. Yakielashek said the company will add new crops to the mix but he’s not ready to announce that board grains will be among them. “Legislation can be overturned as quickly as it tries to get introduced,” said Yakielashek. “You never know,

so you’ve got to be careful.” He said the grain industry will closely monitor what transpires Dec. 6, which is the date by which the federal court has agreed to hear applications for a judicial review of the government’s decision to get rid of the single desk filed by the Canadian Wheat Board and Friends of the CWB. Proponents of an open market feel more at ease about the latest attempt to create an open market than they were the previous two times, when the courts overturned the government’s decision. The federal government’s second attempt was thwarted in 2007 when a federal court judge ruled the Conservative government could make such a change only through Parliament and not by a regulatory order. Brian Otto, president of the Western Barley Growers Association, said 800,000 tonnes of barley had been privately contracted between producers and grain companies and exporters. All of those transactions had to be executed by the CWB. Otto said both rulings were bitter disappointments for anti-monopoly forces, but he is confident that won’t

be the case this time. “It would be very unlikely that a judge could overturn an act that has passed through Parliament. I don’t think it has ever happened in Canadian history,” he said. Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association, said the latest attempt at an open market is different than the previous attempts. This time the change is coming in legislation rather than through a cabinet order or a change in regulations. “Our concern that this may not come to pass is probably one-tenth of the concern that we would have had on barley,” said Sobkowich. “If a judge did rule that the current government doesn’t have the right to change legislation, then we’d be in a constitutional crisis.” Sobkowich said it is possible a judge could rule against the government in the initial trial, but the legal advice that the WGEA has received indicates such a ruling wouldn’t last. “Upon appeal, eventually a superior court would provide a ruling that is consistent with the point of view that Parliament reigns supreme.”

The wheat board has received similar advice, said former CWB director Jeff Nielsen. In his Oct. 31 resignation letter from the board, Nielsen said the CWB received advice from internal and external counsel that a legal challenge would be fruitless. That leads Otto to believe there is an ulterior motive for the court case. “My interpretation of what’s going on here is the wheat board is trying to slow the whole process down by launching a legal action,” he said. “(That is) creating uncertainty in the industry and that’s the last thing the industry needs right now.” Wheat board chair Allen Oberg was unavailable for comment. Sobkowich said the level of uncertainty in the grain industry varies by company. Two firms have already announced value-added durum and barley investments while others such as Toepfer are proceeding cautiously. He believes most companies will proceed with contracting board grains and making sales once Bill C-18 receives royal ascent, despite the lingering legal uncertainty. “You have to get on with business and take some calculated risks,” said Sobkowich. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The refundable checkoff on livestock, put into place by the Alberta government last year, has hurt finances of the Alberta Lamb Producers and eroded its ability to work for producers, says the organization’s president. In a written report to producers, Phil Kolodychuk said that 12 producers asked for checkoff refunds in 2010-11. Though the number was small, the refunds accounted for almost nine percent of total check-off money received. Of the $183,916 collected, $16,215 was refunded. “Of the total requested, 46 percent was refunded to one producer and 62 percent of the total to two producers,” said Kolodychuk. “Each check-off dollar has leveraged well over $4 in external funding so an extra $16,000 could have leveraged at least $70,000 of funding for industry development, producer education and support.” Producers at an ALP Zone 2 meeting Nov. 5 in Lethbridge confirmed that reasons for refund requests are being tracked. Executive director Margaret Cook said it appeared the requests were a matter of producers using an opportunity to regain funds for use in their own operations. “It doesn’t seem to be that people are unhappy with what we do. It’s just that it’s an opportunity to get money back, which is pretty sad,” Cook said. “We do regard it as their investment in their industry and it was actually very heartening to hear those comments from the producers in the room that they believe it’s a good investment.” The ALP checkoff is $1.50 per animal, payable when producers buy tags through the Canadian sheep identification program. Cook said it is unlikely that refundable checkoff legislation will be changed in the near future but ALP will continue to make its objections known. “We’re just going to maintain dialogue with the government, particularly now what we have a new agriculture minister. We do have support from most producers.” access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

TICKET FOR TRUCKING NEIGHBOUR’S CATTLE FILE PHOTO

TRUCKING | LEGALITIES

Offering helping hand nets trucker big bill Traffic regulations | Transporting another person’s animals between grazing areas is allowed, provided no compensation is paid BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Bill Homans helped out a neighbour three weeks ago by hauling 13 of the neighbour’s steers to the auction market in Fort Macleod, Alta. He got a $354 ticket for his trouble. It wasn’t the first time the rancher from Pincher Creek, Alta., has hauled cattle for others, and his neighbours sometimes haul for him. He said it’s common practice for ranchers to haul a few head of each other’s cattle for short trips if they don’t have enough trailer capacity themselves or if timing is an issue. But on this trip, the department of transportation issued him a ticket for “operating a commercial vehicle in a prohibited manner” and “unauthorized operation of a vehicle with farm plates for commercial purposes.” Now Homans wonders whether the ticket signals a warning to other ranchers who help each other out in similar fashion. Homans was driving his truck and stock trailer and following the owner of the cattle, who had more steers in his own truck and trailer. An officer pulled him over near the auction market. “At that time I had no idea what I’d done wrong,” he said Nov. 8. He produced his licence, registration and the manifest, which proved to be in order, Homans said. “The brand inspector basically indicated that the manifest was made out correctly, it was fine. And I heard the officer tell him, ‘that may be, but he doesn’t own the cattle’.” His truck had farm plates and marked fuel, but the officer was unable to obtain a fuel sample, Homans said. “I asked him right then and there, what’s going on here? This is starting to make me feel a little uncomfortable. He said ‘we have had a few complaints that you farmers are hauling cattle for each other’.” Alberta traffic regulations specify that farmers can legally transport animals owned by someone else to or from a grazing lease, so long as no compensation is involved. It makes no mention of hauling someone else’s cattle elsewhere. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

Homans speculated that commercial livestock haulers might take issue with frequent hauling for other people but occasional neighbourly favours shouldn’t be a problem. Sgt. Arthur Anderson of commercial vehicle enforcement in Lethbridge said he could not comment on specifics of Homans’ ticket. However, he noted a number of traffic regulations might apply in such cases. “ Ev e n i f n o c o m p e n s at i o n i s involved, it’s still deemed to be a commercial operation hauling somebody else’s goods. The compensation here doesn’t have to be monetary. It can be, ‘I help you now, you’ll help me later’.” There are also laws involving appropriate use of farm plates and marked fuel, Anderson said. He added that there have been no changes in laws or enforcement of the regulations.

“It’s not a change in policy or direction. Its just a standard situation when we come across something.” The matter has raised concerns in the southern Alberta ranching community. Pincher Creek rancher Bob Westrop raised it at an Alberta Beef Producers zone meeting in Fort Macleod Nov. 1. Cattle producers then passed a resolution directing ABP to investigate and report on regulations regarding “goodwill” trucking of livestock. “Neighbours can’t help neighbours anymore,” said Westrop in speaking to the resolution. “That just drives me crazy.” Westrop, who is a purebred cattle breeder, said in a later interview he is now concerned about delivering bulls to customers. Typically, purebred bulls are taken to a sale, pur-

chased by another party, and then the original owner takes them home again for later delivery. Now Westrop wonders if he can legally deliver the bulls to his customer, since they are technically no longer his. Dave Moss of Alberta’s Livestock Identification Service said ranchers can haul other people’s livestock so long as the manifest indicates the true owner and the transporter in the proper spot. “He’s more than welcome to load a producer’s livestock with that manifest and that producer’s information on that manifest, but the manifest should be written by the owner of the livestock and the transporter would be this other rancher’s name,” said Moss. “There is a place on the manifest further down below where you put

the transporter’s name.” Moss didn’t know the specifics of Homans’ case but noted there are a number of regulations that could have been involved in the ticket. No regulatory changes regarding livestock hauling have been noted or requested by LIS, he said. “I go back to the common sense rule. Ranchers have got to help each o t h e r o u t o n a d a i l y b a s i s. We shouldn’t stand in the way of that.” Homans hasn’t paid his ticket yet but he figures there is no way out of it. He has looked into the permitting process described to him by the ticketing officer but doesn’t think it would suit his or other ranchers’ needs. “We need to do something with this law because it’s not right,” he said. “Right now I don’t dare haul because I seem to have a target on my trailer.”

Wheat supply burdensome Second biggest crop on record | World demand for high protein wheat good news for Canada BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bulging wheat bins around the world will push prices lower, says a market analyst. In its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates, the United States Department of Agriculture raised its global wheat production forecast by 2.6 million tonnes to 683.3 million tonnes. “The crop got a little bit bigger. Now we’re firmly the second biggest crop of all time,” said Canadian Wheat Board market analyst Neil Townsend. He can’t see wheat prices rallying in that type of hostile environment. In fact, he expects just the opposite. “Without outside support, say the corn market holding it up, (wheat) prices should come off quite a bit,” said Townsend. Kim Anderson, crop marketing specialist with Oklahoma State University, said the good news for Canadian growers is that there should be strong demand for high protein wheat to blend with some of the lower quality wheat coming from the Black Sea region and Australia. “Some people are calling it a comfortable supply of wheat. I’m calling it just short of an excess supply of wheat in the world,” he said. “However, there is not a comfortable or excess supply of protein wheat.” That is why the spread between Minneapolis and Chicago wheat prices is the highest it has been since June 2008. Townsend agreed that spring wheat will maintain its premium over Chicago wheat. But he expects

World winter wheat crops good except in Ukraine

the December 2012 price for Chicago soft wheat could fall below $6 per bushel by the end of the year, which would be about $1.50 per bu. below where it is today. “I’ve read lots of people who are predicting a major price reduction,” he said. “There will need to be one or two significant northern hemisphere crop problems to keep wheat in the same channel it’s in right now.” Townsend worries that growers looking at wheat futures prices will be inclined to plant a big crop in 2012-13 because the potential returns look attractive right now.

“If you were to forecast it today, you would probably say it would be the record wheat crop of all time next year,” he said. But a huge acreage increase could be disastrous because Townsend expects world wheat demand could fall next year for the first time in a long time. The reason for his pessimism is that there won’t likely be as much feed wheat production in 2012-13 as there has been the last couple of years, and that means less demand from the livestock sector. Townsend said it would be nearly impossible to make up for a 15 to 20

million tonne drop in feed wheat demand with a rise in food wheat demand. While some questions were answered in the latest USDA report, there are still a couple of unknowns in world wheat markets — such as the size and quality of Australia’s crop and how much Russia will export. The WASDE report forecasts 26 million tonnes of Australian production and 19 million tonnes of exports. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences is forecasting 20.4 million tonnes of exports. But the bigger question is what will be the quality of those exports. Western Australia’s biggest grain handler said its feed wheat estimate has risen to 25 percent from 10 percent due to persistent harvest rains. There are also questions about the WASDE forecast for 21.42 mill i o n t o n n e s o f Ru s s i a n g ra i n exports, including 19 million tonnes of wheat. Russia’s grain producers union says exports could top 25 million tonnes, which is a big difference that could influence grain markets. The country is on pace to ship 17 million tonnes of grain by the end of December. Anderson said there is a tug-of-war between Russia’s grain growers who are keen to export the crop and prime minister Vladimir Putin, who doesn’t want the domestic cost of flour rising during an election year. Putin has warned exporters not to book forward sales because he may implement export restrictions if domestic wheat and flour prices rise too much.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

World wheat markets are closely following the condition of the winter wheat crop in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, which has received recent welcome rain. “There’s going to be a direct correlation between wheat prices and the state of the U.S. crop,” said Canadian Wheat Board market analyst Neil Townsend. If that crop somehow rebounds from its abysmal start it wouldn’t bode well for an already oversupplied wheat market. “The better the winter wheat starts to look, that would remove one leg of bullishness in the market,” said Townsend. Kim Anderson, crop marketing specialist with Oklahoma State University, said there has been a stunning turnaround in the fate of the U.S. winter wheat crop. “It’s just miraculous what these producers have done,” he said. Growers who seeded into dust got some timely rains and are now looking at excellent stands of wheat throughout most of Oklahoma. The crop is about to go into winter dormancy in better shape than expected. Four weeks ago Anderson would have estimated U.S. growers would harvest about half of a normal winter wheat crop. His latest forecast is for threequarters of a crop, but if farmers receive more timely rains they could easily be looking at an average or above average crop. “Everybody bought crop insurance because nobody was going to be able to produce anything,” said Anderson. And while there is very little subsoil moisture, there is enough topsoil moisture to produce a decent crop. “It’s just like flipping a switch. We even have grazing. We’ve got so much growth on some wheat we’ve got cattle on it grazing it. It’s just mind boggling,” he said. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

India chickpea growers boost production Mexico, India planting big crops | Analysts say prices should hold steady with small Canadian crop

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Winter wheat crops are a mixed bag in other major growing regions. Russia’s growers have received so much rain they had to cut back on plantings, sowing an estimated 41.5 million acres, which was short of the government’s target of 44.5 million acres. What has been planted appears to be in good shape, according to Moscow analyst SovEcon. In neighbouring Ukraine, up to 30 percent of the winter wheat crop could be lost due to insufficient soil moisture and early temperature drops that resulted in low sprouting and uneven germination, according to the State Meteorology Center of Ukraine. Ukrainian farmers had planted 15.7 million acres of winter wheat as of Nov. 1 compared to 16.6 million acres last year. Crops are developing nicely in the European Union. Warm and dry conditions have helped early plant growth in France, the region’s largest wheat producer.

The world could soon be awash in chickpeas, says a pulse market analyst. India has announced its minimum support prices (MSP) for its rabi or winter crop and it is clear the government is intent on substantially boosting pulse acres to make up for the disappointing kharif or summer crop plantings. “The chickpea (MSP) is a very, very large incentive,” said Chuck Penner, president of LeftField Commodity Research. The subsidy amounts to $591 US per tonne, up from $466 per tonne last year. Penner said that is below current market prices but provides growers with a handsome floor price for their production. “I’m nervous that Indian farmers are really going to ratchet up their chickpea production,” he said. And that appears to be the case. Growers have planted 11.13 million acres of pulses as of Nov. 11, which is 22.3 percent ahead of last year’s pace. Chickpea plantings are up 80 percent over last year in Madhya Pradesh and 65 percent in Rajasthan, the two biggest chickpea growing states. Penner is nervous about the potential for a big Mexican chickpea crop.

Weak corn markets coming?

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

orries about exceptionally tight world grain stocks are receding except for corn, and its shortage is helping to prevent a general grain price retreat. Barring a collapsed world economy, grain and oilseed prices will likely remain attractive up until seeding season, but if Mother Nature cooperates next year, the world’s farmers might catch up with demand, ushering in a period of lower prices. This highlights the increasing need for risk management as you plan your marketing and input buying strategy for the 2012-13 crop. Wheat supply is already more than comfortable except for high protein grain. Oilseed supply is a little tight, but not a major worry and there are signs that South American soybean production might turn out better than forecast as worries about La Ninacaused dry weather are so far not coming true. It is corn that continues to generate worries. Global corn ending stocks have fallen each year since 2008-09. Corn prices will have to remain high through the winter to encourage farmers to increase acreage in the spring. There is always enormous concentration on U.S. seeding plans because it is by far the world’s largest corn producer.

quick pace of exports. “It’s a bit of a warning against people who think that the market will always keep rising,” he said. Supply is a much bigger problem for lentil growers. “That’s kind of the big issue that has been keeping a lid on things,” said Penner. Agriculture Canada expects the 750,000 tonnes of carryout from the 2010-11 crop to blossom to 850,000 tonnes by the end of this crop year. Australian farmers are expected to harvest 303,000 tonnes of lentils, rivaling last year’s record 306,000 tonne crop and well above the fiveyear average of 135,000 tonnes. That gives buyers like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka the

peace of mind to wait out the market a little bit more than they would if Australia was harvesting a small crop. “The Turkish demand has really kept the market supported. Otherwise I think we’d be in a lot more trouble,” said Penner. The good news is that the U.S. lentil crop fared worse than many expected. Harvested acreage was 32 percent smaller than last year and yields were below the long-term average. “That was a bit of a surprise. That helped support the green lentil side of the market a little bit,” he said. The other bit of encouraging news is that while rabi pulse acres are likely rising in India it won’t necessarily be due to lentils. But good moisture and yields could make up for fewer acres.

MARKET WATCH

Mexican farmers are seeding their winter crop under bone dry conditions, which means they will likely want to avoid water intensive corn in favour of a drought tolerant crop like chickpeas. “That’s a real warning signal,” said Penner. “We’ve probably seen the top of the market for chickpeas, so don’t wait around too long to market whatever you have left.” The potential for a big global chickpea crop has ramifications for Canadian yellow pea growers as well, since peas are a good substitute for chickpeas in India, the world’s largest pulse market. Penner said it may lead to a sideways pattern in pea prices but he doesn’t expect prices to collapse due to the small Canadian harvest and

But it is worth noting that the high corn prices are drawing others into the game, causing them to seed record size corn crops. Corn production in the 12 countries of the former Soviet Union jumped to 31.8 million tonnes this year from 18.55 million the year before. Production in South America and Europe is also up. With lower grade wheat prices languishing, will these secondary producers increase acreage even more in 2012? Then there is the China question. The world’s second largest corn producer harvested about 184.5 million tonnes this year, up from 177.25 million the year before. Despite the production increase, the market has priced in some corn imports by China. Some believe the market is underestimating Chinese import demand, but there is also a chance that they will make do with feed wheat and the big corn imports won’t materialize. If you put a few things together — better U.S. weather, increased crops in second tier producers, disappointing Chinese demand — it is possible to paint a scenario of a weaker corn market once we get into 2012-13. I’m not saying it will happen, just pointing out that it could happen and farmers should keep their pencils sharp and risk management up to date. There is much deserved optimism in western Canadian farming these days. Producers should use their improved resources to invest in improving their management skill instead of buying rose coloured glasses. FOR MORE ON RISK MANAGEMENT, SEE ED WHITE’S COLUMN ON P. 24.

COWS EDGE HIGHER

HOGS FALL

Strong cattle futures, strong U.S. cash prices and a loonie near 98 cents US helped support Canadian fed cattle prices last week, Canfax said. Packers struggled with negative margins, but trade developed at higher prices by midweek. Fed steers averaged $112.58 per hundredweight, up $1.13, and heifers averaged $112.16, up 82 cents. Most sold on the rail at $188-$190 per cwt. delivered. The cash-to-futures basis widened 50 cents to -$12.91. Sale volume was 14,878 head, down one percent from the previous week. Weekly fed exports to Oct. 29 rose 11 percent to 12,669 head. Summer-placed yearlings have performed well and are now entering the November market.

Higher yielding packages of D1, D2 cows tested the top end of the Canfax price range. D1, D2 cows were $60-$70 to average $63.78. Rail bids were $125-$130 cwt. Butcher bulls fell 50 cents to $72 cwt. Speculation that nonfed values are approaching seasonal lows supported feeder cow values.

Hog supply is at a seasonal peak, carcass weights are up and pork prices are down, pressuring prices lower. Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants closed at $62 US per cwt. Nov. 11, down from $66 Nov. 4. The cash U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $90.53 Nov. 11, down from $92.04 Nov. 4. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.29 million, down from 2.35 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.

FEEDERS STEADY Short keep steers traded generally $1 higher while heifer calves were steady. The steer price average last week fell 14 cents and heifers rose 37 cents. Commercial auctions are operating sales six days per week across Alberta

and Saskatchewan. Large uniform packages of feeders are commanding a premium. Light calves are trading $36-$45 per cwt. higher than last year. Volume was 75,764, down 28 percent from the previous week. Nov. 9 sales will be included in next week’s report. Weekly feeder exports to Oct. 29 totalled 971, up 20 percent from the previous week. Contracting options have provided underlying price support. Price resistance is anticipated as cost of gain narrows feeding margins. Prices of 300-500 pound steers might fall to narrow the steer-heifer price gap. Mid-weight steers and heifers are likely to hold price momentum, and demand for yearling cattle should remain strong. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

BEEF STRONGER U.S. cutouts were generally $2 higher last week. Packers are attempting to push beef prices higher to mend processing margins, but resistance at the retail level is slowing the beef pipeline. Canadian cutouts to Nov. 4 were $2-$3 higher than the previous week. AAA was $179.96 and AA was $169.73. The Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was up $2 at $205-$207 per cwt.

FARM POLICY | ELECTION ISSUE

CRAIG’S VIEW

Ag’s low election profile dangerous for industry

he Saskatchewan Party pulled it off again. It rolled into power for the second time Nov. 7, but with a historic popular vote majority that unequivocally states that the province — including the rural part — is behind it. The party did it without any significant nod to agriculture during the entire campaign, which, if you look at Saskatchewan’s electoral past, is quite the feat. Indeed, the election campaign overall was relatively devoid of agricultural policy declarations and certainly agricultural debate. Not one mention of agriculture was made in the televised debate between premier Brad Wall and thenNDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter. Neither party considered agriculture a priority in their platforms, either. In fact, Wall said that his party’s agriculture policy would remain unchanged. There were a few tweaks: improvements to crop insurance; increasing the unseeded acreage benefit to $70 from $50 per eligible acre; expanding agricultural extension offices; and taking over administration of the AgriStability fund, which is operated federally in some jurisdictions. That was about it, but Saskatchewan’s rural communities voted for the party anyway. What does this mean? It could be that farms are getting larger and farmers less political, being in more of a business frame of mind than a rural policy frame of mind. That would certainly lead increasingly to more conservative votes. It could also be that producers were voting on other issues. It was also a pretty good year in Saskatchewan, unless you were flooded out, so there were fewer issues for farmers to worry about. No pressing issues to speak of; ergo, no debate. The Manitoba election campaign was similar, with the incumbent New Democrats only concerning themselves with Winnipeg voters and even campaigning on placing tougher restrictions on hog barn operations to improve water conditions in Lake Winnipeg.

In Alberta, even though rural Albertans form a Conservative power base, the Conservatives almost ignore rural policies during election campaigns, assuming those votes to be almost sure things. In the recent race for the Progressive Conservative leadership, which in Alberta amounts to electing the premier, agriculture was not a big issue for any of the six candidates. Agriculture seems to have faded from the election radar screen in all three prairie provinces. When times are good, that may not be a big problem. But good times are not known to last forever. Not discussing agricultural issues at election time could well come back to bite the most popular prairie government. For example, the Canadian Wheat Board was largely treated as a fait accompli during the recent federal election. More rural debate on the single desk would have been useful, since many farmers who voted Conservative still support the monopoly. Furthermore, insurance programs such as AgriStability are up for renegotiation in the near future. Would it not be helpful to have some debate on such programs before returning to the bargaining table? As agriculture debate fades, the amount of control and influence rural people have on policy wanes. In addition, vision is unlikely to develop in an environment where our politicians think their policies are good enough. The lack of discussion does not bode well for advanced farm policies that are good for rural people and agriculture. Perhaps it behooves the people of Saskatchewan and other prairie provinces to remind their governments that agriculture is still an important part of their economies, and it is likely to get bigger. That means prairie governments should be devising visionary policies instead of just catching up with farmers when things go wrong.

FARM POLITICS | NO RETURN

Jack Wilkinson ‘past tense’ in politics but still has strong views on issues NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

t was a delicious Ottawa rumour quickly quashed. Jack Wilkinson, firebrand former president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the International Federation of Agricultural Producers, was thinking of making a farm politics comeback. Why would that be delicious? Well, through his long provincial,

federal and international farm leadership career, Wilkinson was an articulate, tireless and fearless and often funny critic of government and politicians (including ministers) when he thought they weren’t delivering the goods for farmers. Politicians these days have been blessed (none more so than agriculture minister Gerry Ritz) with a breed of farm leader that prefers public cooperation and praise and quiet lobbying to confrontation or challenges. Agribusiness leaders now find farmers anxious to sit with them at government-sanctioned “value chain tables” that assume all sectors of the food chain really want to share power and profits with all other links, rather than mounting soap boxes to point out the growing market power disparity between concentrated

agribusiness companies and the scattered farmers with their dwindling numbers who power the machine with their produce. Wilkinson is, shall we say, more old school. He can dish out compliments when he feels them deserved but is not afraid to bore to the core and c o lo u r f u lly la be l s u ga rc o at e d manure what it is when he hears it. So Wilkinson’s return to the fray surely would liven up and crystallize the farm debate. But it is not going to happen, he says. Reached at his northern Ontario farm hours after returning from work at the United Nations as one of three farmers worldwide picked to represent agriculture in UN Year of the Co-operative discussions, Wilkinson said he is not contemplating another run at farm politics.

“I’m past tense in every way,” he said. “I suppose some people may have thought that because I have spoken a couple of times at meetings and I’m pretty cranky on a number of issues that I see now and how farm organizations deal with them.” And then he starts. General farm organizations seem to have drifted into a sphere of being afraid to offend. They have “divested” many of the issues on the table to often betterfunded commodity organizations. They are investing much effort on long-term policy design with less emphasis on fighting today’s policy battles. “I’m of the view that if you don’t push your own opinions and sometimes do it forcefully, you’re not really part of the conversation,” he

said. “You either have a general farm organization that represents the broad industry interest and balances needs with issues or you have broad commodity coalitions. I obviously am partial to the former model.” Wilkinson said farmers are confronted by ever-more-powerful retail, processing and input sectors with little response. “They can pick the winners and losers,” he said. “Among other things, I really think farmers are losing control of the traceability issue. I guess I think the leadership is looking a little tired these days and I fear the outcome if we don’t have a stronger role in the debate.” Then you could almost see him smile over the phone. “But I don’t want to sound like just another cranky old man.”

LAMB INDUSTRY | PROFITABILITY

Poor returns hinder lamb sector expansion BY ROB FENSOM

t’s nice to see lamb prices are on the way up and appear to be holding. There is more optimism out there and a level of confidence among producers not seen for some time. I remember a time in the mid-1990s when we saw similar prices, and that was when a dollar bought considerably more than it does now. Rising inputs and overheads have led to a narrowing of margins, even when the price is up. It is about this time in the cycle of any farm commodity, whether livestock or grain, that with the tease of higher prices, the buyers and packers promise good times ahead and encourage producers to ramp up production. The farmers and ranchers oblige because the only way to make more money is to sell more livestock or grain. Within 18 months to two years, the market peaks and starts its downward price spiral because of overproduction and cheap imports. We need $3 per pound live lamb prices. I can just see the buyers’ faces now. The fact is there was a time when I could buy a full breakfast for $3 and lambs were $1.50 per lb. live. Now the lambs are the same price but breakfast is $8. The word is out to produce more lambs to fill an expanding market, but producing more on a narrow or non-existent margin is a mug’s game. Many of you have found profit in private farmgate sales, but it’s tough to get the volumes up to a living wage. This is acceptable for small producers, but it would be a death blow for

Buyers and packers need to take a little less profit so producers can have a little more or lamb supply will dry up in this country. | FILE PHOTO the industry as a whole. A viable industry needs numbers to support the infrastructure: packing plants, trucking and distribution. Ninety-five percent or more of producers earn income from offfarm sources, and they have allowed lower prices to exist by continuing to produce lamb at unsustainable prices.

Buyers and packers have grown accustomed to these low prices and have become soft in their business practices and pricing beyond their door. Retailers in turn hold their prices, knowing if they do the packer can stay in business by lowering the price to the producer. This mess has been 30 years in the

making, and with many producers exiting the game because of old age and few youngsters taking over the industry, it may well be gone in the next few years. There is still time to turn this around. The red meat producer’s share of the retail price was 45 to 55 percent 25 years ago. With a $3 per lb. carcass weight, it is now 25 percent. I will suggest to be sustainable it has to be around 50 percent. Somehow, buyers and packers must ensure more money goes back to the producer because they will ramp up production if they make a few real dollars, and not just money saved by cutting costs, since there isn’t anything left to cut. The folks between the farmgate and the customer’s plate need to accept narrower margins. Yes, it’s hard, but if you want to stay at the table that is what it’s going to take. Remember, most of your producers are of an age that they can close shop and walk away and you could be left with empty killing floors and mortgages to pay. But if you pay a “fair trade price,” most of us aged producers would love to oblige and produce more lamb at a profitable price for many more years. Hey, if we can get profit back into the equation, maybe we will get some young farmers back in the game so your children can follow in your footsteps as buyers and packers, too.

PULSES | GROWER ORGANIZATIONS

Sask. Pulse Growers election proves interesting HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

lections for producer-controlled commissions and boards are typically a tame affair in the grain industry of Western Canada. By contrast, the current election of board members to Saskatchewan Pulse Growers has a strong dose of passion. Over the past 20 years, Saskatchewan has emerged as the dominant world player in field peas and lentils due in no small part to the efforts of SPG. As pulse acreage has grown, producers have contributed more levy dollars. Levy contributions are now well over $10 million each year. A big chunk of those dollars has been invested with the Crop Development Centre at the University of

Saskatchewan for the development of new pulse varieties that are provided royalty free to producers. It’s a success story with producers taking control of their own destiny. When the SPG chair suddenly resigned earlier this year and then the long-time executive director departed for another job, it was clear that not all was harmonious within the organization. Now, the experience level is set to become further diminished. The remaining director with the most experience has served two consecutive three-year terms and can’t run again. A director who has served a single three-year term has decided not to run again. Most of the other crops in Saskatchewan have similar organizations for research and market development work. SaskCanola is another big player with a large budget. Others, representing flax, oats, mustard, canaryseed and winter cereals, have much more modest financial statements. Only SPG has board status with a non-refundable levy. The others are commissions where the producer

levy is mandatory, but refundable. All have a similar election process, but it’s rare to see much of an election fight. Winning by acclamation is common. There are three open positions on the SPG board and four candidates. What’s really interesting is that three of the four candidates are running as a slate, seeking specific changes in the organization. Shawn Buhr and Jim Moen are previous SPG directors who went on to serve as chair. Bert Vandenberg is the main pulse crop breeder at the Crop Development Centre. Producers may be surprised to see Vandenberg on the ballot, but he’s eligible to run because the university sells some commercial pulse crops. These three candidates don’t like what they see happening at SPG and by acting together they want to change the direction. They talk about injecting some experience onto the board and “righting the ship.” None of them would be running if they weren’t concerned. They’re taking specific aim at Pulse Canada, pointing out that the national umbrella organization receives

nearly 70 per cent of its core funding from Saskatchewan producers through SPG and yet SPG does not have the majority of directors on the Pulse Canada board. Pulse Canada, they say, should be relocated from Winnipeg to Saskatchewan. The fourth candidate on the ballot is Cynthia Edwards. Her election information stresses how the pulse industry is an important component of sustainable agriculture. As a younger producer with an education in agriculture and work experience with Ducks Unlimited, she is the kind of candidate that producer organizations typically welcome with open arms. However, in this election my vote has to go with the three candidates who have a proven track record for building a Saskatchewan pulse industry — an industry that has been profitable for producers and the rest of the value chain.

Hospital visits more difficult in rural areas EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

Urbanites able to drop in to see family member in hospital, seniors’ home

y Aunt Mary has been dying for the last few weeks. She was such a private person, she would likely have been appalled that I am writing about her, even as a tribute and a goodbye. However, the end of her life has consumed mine for quite some time, and I have no other words today as she reaches the final hours. Aunt Mary is 100 years old, still an incredible age by any standard. She was a teacher of deaf children in her working life, her great contribution. She was blessed with good health, stamina and an unending curiosity about the world around her. She loved to travel, and retirement allowed her to visit places most of us will never see. I think she was 92 when she took a tour to Cambodia and Vietnam. She had always wanted to see the spectacular ancient monasteries at Angkor Wat, built in the 12th century, and she did it after nine decades of life. Until two weeks ago, Aunt Mary was never in a hospital as a patient. This proved to amaze some of the hospital staff, as it did me. How does one get to be 100 without ever going to the hospital? What breaks my heart is that until the end, she was worried about me. She was always concerned that I was doing too much for her; that I was taking too much time off work to deal with her health care and to visit. I could not persuade her that it was OK, and I profoundly hope that before she passes away, she will accept that whatever we did for her was not only our responsibility but our pleasure. We had tremendous support from home care, the hospital staff and the great people at Luther Tower in Saskatoon. That made me wonder, many times, how we would have managed if we did not live in a city, where shuttling from doctor to home to hospital and back was a trial but not insurmountable by distance. How much harder it must be for many people in rural communities, especially when juggling health issues and work. Going by my experience, knowing it’s more difficult out there, my heart goes out to you if you’re faced with this kind of situation. It’s hard enough just saying goodbye. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

I have a few words of enlightenment for Louise Waldman, a spokesperson for the Canadian Wheat Board, and Terry Boehm of the National Farmers Union regarding the CWB administration of the cash advance program. First we must bear in mind that it was a federal government program, not a CWB program. A number of years ago I took out a cash advance on feed barley. When I was ready to repay the advance, the CWB wanted repayment with grain, not cash. At that particular time, the CWB barley price was 10 percent lower than the open market price.

The amount of the advance was $35,000. Guess what? If I insisted on cash repayment, the CWB was going to charge me a 10 percent penalty. That little rule cost me $3,500. Roger Brandl, Fort St. John, B.C.

FREE MARKETS? To the Editor: The federal Conservatives’ legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board is another example of a free market ideology trumping common sense and sound economic policy.

As a farmer’s daughter growing up on a wheat farm in Saskatchewan, I heard the stories of the Great Depression and how free markets cheated my family of its last good wheat crop before the drought hit. While the grain cars were rolling east — there was no port of Churchill then — the stock market crashed. Grain that had been worth something as it left the fields of Saskatchewan became worthless by the time it got to port because of the market speculators that brought us the Dirty Thirties. We are heading there again, if unrestrained financial markets are not brought in check around the world. Everyone who has followed what the financial sector has done, just from 2008 on, knows that.

LETTERS POLICY:

on the brink again, and in every country, it’s the ordinary people who will be asked to take the hit…. The Harper government doesn’t see this pattern because they believe marketeering freedom is the only freedom worth defending. They are about “keeping the free market faith” and building in our great north a little replica of the mess (former American president George W.) Bush and his band of cronies made of the American system. Why put any stress on our farmers to run their own marketing board when we can gamble with grain, whether we know how to grow it or not, through the auspices of Monsanto, Cargill and the like? “We worked so hard to build the wheat board,” says our mom, age 93, when we tell her of Harper’s plans. But what does a farm woman know after a lifetime of working the land, raising and preparing most of the naturally good food we ate as kids? It’s big agri-business, not farmers, who know what is best for the breadbaskets of the world, and no doubt we will all be better off when agribusiness owns those breadbaskets…. We will be free market free then, not having any other choice in the matter. Please, Canadians, say no to this sell off. Mary I. Nokleby, Calgary, Alta. John and Brenda Nokleby, Kindersley, Sask.

ADVANCED CONCEPT To the Editor: Milton Boyd (WP op-ed, Aug. 18) says the grain industry will prosper post monopoly. That is an understatement when you figure the losses to rural communities, all going into the grain industr y’s pockets. It doesn’t mean the farmers or communities will benefit. The grain industry will be back in the driver’s seat — as they were prior to the wheat board. The grain industry profited immensely during the Depression and will always profit because people have to eat. The question is, once the wheat board is gone, how does the farmer profit? It will be like Australia without its wheat board with no market for small farmers. The result is there is no more medium to small farmers. If you can’t fill a shipload, you don’t have a market, so farms have had to expand. A 10,000 acre farm will no longer cut it in this new world global system we will bring about without the Canadian Wheat Board. In the same issue, Chris Selness’ statement (in his letter to the editor) that all large farmers wish the end of the CWB and are clamouring for their right to make their own decisions, is wrong. When I attended the prowheat board rallies, a lot of these people were large farmers and were younger in age. He says the wheat board is antiquated. Here he is wrong again. The wheat board is a modern, advanced concept our ancestors could only dream about. What the corporations are doing is bringing back the old antiquated open market they once owned prior to the wheat board where farmers lost possession of their property when they had to sign contracts prior to seeding.

OPINION This is called decoupling farmers from the market. They will have it back once the wheat board is gone — be careful of what you wish for. R. E. Kennedy, Simpson, Sask.

WHO’S NEXT?

tions. They say this is the Canadian way. These organizations were set up to help people exist. It’s ironic that they are trying to kill the two organizations that the other prime minister from Calgary South, R. B. Bennett, a Conservative, established in 1935: the CWB and the CBC…. Avery Sahl, Mossbank, Sask.

To the Editor: The National Citizens Coalition Reform government, under the guise of the Conservative party, seems to have a vendetta against organizations set up by people to improve their lives, whether it be credit unions, co-ops, the Canadian Wheat Board, Canadian Broadcasting Corp., community pastures, car insurance, national health care or any organization that benefits people at the expense of large corpora-

DRASTIC MEASURES

The wheat board is responsible for keeping the prices and quality high; that is why our grain customers trust the wheat board. Therefore, it would appear that there is some other reason for the federal government taking such drastic measures. The only ones to benefit would be the companies who would set the price farmers receive, and the overseas customers who might pay less for our wheat, if the companies were not too greedy. Jean H. Sloan, Lloydminster, Sask.

To the Editor: If it really is a matter of choice, why do those grain producers not use the buyback clause available to them under the rules of the Canadian Wheat Board? That way they could sell to anyone they chose. Why is it necessary to destroy the board that the majority of farmers want and need?

DEAFENING SILENCE To the Editor: Somebody help me. Why would our provincial government agree with prime minister (Stephen) Harper that farmers should not have a say in

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 17, 2011

any proposed changes to our Canadian Wheat Board? The CWB legislation requires that the board of directors be consulted and that a farmer plebiscite occur before the CWB mandate is changed. The federal government has refused both. Who can argue with any degree of integrity that we who use and fund our marketing organization should have no say in its future? Our province has an enormous stake in this debate and yet the silence is deafening. Is premier (Brad) Wall not concerned with our share of the several $100 million in premium that the CWB earns annually? We have more short lines and load more producer cars than any other province and these depend on the CWB’s single desk authority to function efficiently. The CWB has been our advocate in international trade disputes and rail service challenges. Without its legis-

lated monopoly it becomes just another trader allowing us the freedom to compete amongst ourselves. The process that the Harper/Wall coalition has endorsed to dismantle the CWB is not only illegal, it is outrageously undemocratic. Our apathetic silence is interpreted as approval. Farmers need other Canadians to notice our plight and take note. Is this a template that you approve of for future Tory attacks on other Canadian institutions? Should a majority in Parliament mean an absolute right to ignore Canadian laws and defy those directly affected? The human mind has an amazing ability to protect our egos. However, I cannot imagine the mental gymnastics required to justify swinging a wrecking ball through the CWB and then calling it “freedom.” Lyle Wright, Kerrobert, Sask.

They know who they are and whose they are as they step forward. Memory matters. You may berate yourself because of something you’ve forgotten, but there are flashes of recall. At a family gathering, for instance, a passing reference gets made to something you hadn’t thought about for years. One person chimes in with their bit of recall. Another person and another adds on until the story starts to form. It may be that the whole story comes into focus in the middle of the night.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | OUTLOOK

Voluntary CWB will survive, says ag minister Structuring new entity | The voluntary board can work efficiently alongside a commercial system, says Gerry Ritz BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal agriculture minister says he is convinced that a voluntary Canadian Wheat Board can become a viable commercial entity in two or three years. “I think it has a tremendous opportunity to move forward,” Gerry Ritz told members of the Inland Terminals Association of Canada last week. “Our legislation (mentions) a transition period of up to five years, but if farmers react as they possibly could … they may try to restructure it as a co-operative or a share-structured

offering in year two or year three, and we’re open to that.” Ritz said the new entity will be free to deal in all crops and is expected to offer forward contracting opportunities similar to those offered by line companies. The voluntary CWB will be run by a board of five appointed directors. Those directors will also be responsible for developing a plan to commercialize the new entity by 2017. Ritz said the appointed directors now on CWB’s board of directors will likely form the board of the new voluntary entity. Appointed directors on the current CWB board include

president and chief executive officer Ian White, David Carefoot, a former chief financial officer with Viterra, Alberta resident and agribusiness owner Ken Motiuk, former grain industry executive and consultant Bruce Johnson, and Manitoba farmer Glen Findlay, who has served on a variety of committees and panels related to agriculture. “We’re looking for certain skill sets and of course the … existing appointed directors have those skill sets. “Should some of them decide that they don’t want to be part of the new entity … we’ll certainly then look for someone else to take that position.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

We’re going to get the wheat board legislation through first and then start to look at what else needs to be done to streamline the grading system, the varietal registration (system) … the whole pot. GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

Ritz did not rule out the possibility of the new entity being sold to a private company if that is what appointed directors deem most appropriate. “The appointed directors would have to assess that … sit down and work out the business case and figure out if that’s in the best interest of farmers,” he said. “It (the commercialization plan) does come across my desk at some point and we’ll decide (then) if that makes strategic sense.” Ritz also told ITAC members that Ottawa would look at making changes to Canada’s grain grading and varietal registration systems once single desk marketing has been eliminated. The goal is to ensure that all systems work seamlessly together in an

efficient commercial system. “We’re going to get the wheat board legislation through first and then start to look at what else needs to be done to streamline the grading system, the varietal registration (system) … the whole pot.” He said Ottawa will seek direction from advisory groups on what changes would benefit the industry. Ritz also suggested that key recommendations of the rail freight service review will likely be implemented by next August, although he cautioned that rail reforms are the responsibility of federal transport minister Denis Lebel. “That’s transport, not (agriculture), but certainly that’s what we’re hopeful of doing because one does dovetail with the other.”

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | LEGAL ACTION

Ritz backpedals on claim CWB stealing from farmers Gerry Ritz called CWB advertising in Ontario â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reckless propagandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz last week withdrew his accusation the Canadian Wheat Board was â&#x20AC;&#x153;stealingâ&#x20AC;? farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money for an advertising campaign after the board chair threatened legal action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This word was only used figuratively and I retract it,â&#x20AC;? Ritz said in a statement Nov. 11, a day after an earlier statement drew the reaction from Allen Oberg. The kerfuffle began when the ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office issued a statement in which he said Oberg would have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;justify why he is stealing an additional $1.4 million of farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money on baseless propaganda in eastern newspapers.â&#x20AC;? In a speech to Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities delegates the same day in Regina, he made similar comments, telling them the government was working with industry to improve it while â&#x20AC;&#x153;others are wasting farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time and money on baseless court cases and reckless propaganda.â&#x20AC;? He said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why the CWB would spend money to advertise in the Ontario edition of The Globe and Mail, on top of money it has already spent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not much ticks a western Canadian farmer off more than somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-interested sticky fingers in their pocketbook,â&#x20AC;? Ritz said. Oberg responded with a statement of his own, saying the comments were irresponsible, slanderous and unworthy of a cabinet minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is another glaring example of the bullying tactics that this government consistently employs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sole motivation is to act in the best interests of the farmers of Western Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of which I am one.â&#x20AC;? He called on Ritz to retract his statement and said he was considering legal action.

This is another glaring example of the bullying tactics that this government consistently employs. My sole motivation is to act in the best interests of the farmers of Western Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of which I am one. ALLEN OBERG CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD

The ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retraction was not an admission he was wrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It remains our governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belief that money from the pool accounts is being used for purposes outside the CWBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate,â&#x20AC;? he added. The latest exchange highlights the duel between those who favour getting rid of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s export monopoly and those who would like to keep it. While Ritz found a generally sympathetic crowd at the SARM meeting, judging by the applause at his remarks, some delegates are clearly unhappy with him.

DUANE FILSON WOOD RIVER RM

Duane Filson, from the RM of Wood River, said too many questions remain unanswered. The impact of the change must be examined, he said, and the government is ignoring a legal obligation to give farmers a vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your rush?â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

we do this is an orderly way?â&#x20AC;? Ritz said the government is not obliged to have a vote and that three out of four western provinces support what Ottawa is doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You as a supporter of the board will still have a board to support,â&#x20AC;? he told Filson. Other countries are â&#x20AC;&#x153;eating our lunchâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to some commodities, Ritz added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing we did wrong was not doing it sooner,â&#x20AC;? he said. The minister also took aim at NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen who met with some farmers in Regina last week. He said the MP from Welland, Ont., is not a grain farmer and shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be telling western farmers how to market their grain. Meanwhile, Ritz did announce that a $50 million Agricultural Innovation Program, announced in the 2011 budget, was ready to accept applications. The program will help entrepreneurs take ideas to commercial use. Ritz said too many good ideas wither on the vine because of a lack of capital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure that things that pertain to agriculture that are held stagnant now for lack of commercialization have access to funds,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters. The program runs until March 31, 2013. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SARM | FLOOD FORECASTING

SARM | FLOOD ASSISTANCE

Flood forecasting fails RMs RMs want changes to compensation

Spring runoff and rain | One councillor says flooding could have been reduced if the Rafferty Dam reservoir was lowered before spring precipitation STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The final cost of the 2011 flood wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known for some time but the toll it took on rural Saskatchewan residents is clear. A couple of angry delegates at the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities midterm convention last week said the provincial agency charged with flood forecasting didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a good enough job. Dennis Blackburn, councillor in the RM of Estevan, told Doug Johnson, the Saskatchewan Watershed Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of regional services, that the Rafferty Dam reservoir should have been drawn down to much lower levels before spring. Flooding downstream of the reservoir through the Souris River valley left half of the village of Roche Percee

uninhabitable and farmland under water. The water went on to cause extensive damage in Minot, North Dakota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You people ran all that water through that valley and flooded everything. You had four floods there. You guys waited till Boundary Dam had their gates wide open and then you opened all the gates up on Rafferty,â&#x20AC;? Blackburn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember full well standing there with Grant Devine and he said weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building a dam here and this is for flood control. And you, sir, and you people did nothing except flood everybody in that valley.â&#x20AC;? Reg Jahn, councillor in the RM of Coalfields and mayor of Roche Percee, said forecasters must be able to do a better job. But Johnson said forecasting a onetime 130-millimetre rainfall is hard to do. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

If cumulative funds received are insufficient to purchase a specific item, those donations, along with surplus funds received for other listed items, will be allocated to SPH areas of greatest need.

Several reviews of how the flooding occurred and was handled are underway. He said the operating plan was developed for a spring melt, not excessive rainfall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to operate and plan around a five-inch rainstorm coming in June after a series of wet events,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was just nothing else that could be done. I know that the operating plan â&#x20AC;Ś did work up until the rainfall.â&#x20AC;? The combination of spring flooding and rainfall could have emptied and filled Rafferty reservoir four times over the course of a few months, Johnson said. The reservoir holds 439,600 cubic decameters of water and is the second-largest reservoir the watershed authority controls. The largest is Lake Diefenbaker at 9.4 million cubic decameters. As part of a review of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dams done after the extensive and prolonged flooding, the authority was instructed to work with the International Souris River Board and the International Joint Commission to review operations at Rafferty, Alameda and Boundary dams. Operation of Gardiner Dam on Lake Diefenbaker is also being reviewed. Throughout the flooding, rumours of damage to Rafferty Dam circulated. Inspections found minor damage at several dams and the government authorized spending $1.9 million on urgent repairs. The $23-million emergency flood damage reduction program the province implemented helped some, but not all, areas. In some places the work simply couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done before the water arrived. Johnson said 193 communities, 132 RMs, 849 yard sites, 14 First Nations and nine other locations such as parks or Hutterite colonies applied. As of Nov. 8, 56 percent had been paid or notified that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify. About $9 million has been paid out, said Johnson.

Disaster assistance | Rural municipalities had to use their own equipment and labour Some Saskatchewan rural municipalities that declared disasters due to flooding are finding they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify for all the financial help they thought they would get. The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities last week sent out a survey to find out just what its members are experiencing with the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program. President David Marit said the board has heard complaints about allowable expenses incurred during road and bridge repair. For example, the full cost of a culvert replacement is not covered because the pipe itself is not eligible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest issue we have is that under the federal rules the compensation for municipalities doing their own work is not there,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All they cover for is the fuel you use, any other lubricants, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing for your labour and nothing for your equipment.â&#x20AC;? Under PDAP rules, the federal government reimburses the province on a sliding scale depending on the size of the disaster. All claimants pay a portion of the cost for uninsured losses. Rural municipalities pay a deductible of up to 0.1 percent of their taxable assessments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once they hit that (deductible) then the provincial and federal money flows in,â&#x20AC;? Marit said. For some municipalities, that deductible is as much as $300,000, which cuts significantly into the tax base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For an average municipality like mine, and we had a fair amount of disaster, our deductible I believe was in the neighbourhood of around $35,000,â&#x20AC;?

wages and equipments costs it would have been better for us.â&#x20AC;? Rural municipalities in the southeast, where assessments are generally higher, were unable to find contractors to do the work because oil companies had already engaged them. That left the significant cost of doing their own work. Marit said SARM will lobby Ottawa to change its rules to provide at least some compensation for using their own equipment. In 2011, 330 communities were declared eligible for assistance from 402 separate flood events. Herb Axten, reeve of Surprise Valley, took a more humourous approach to his request. His municipality is near the U.S. border in the busy Bakken oil field and he said the roads are particularly bad south of Highway 13, an east-west route known as the Red Coat Trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Number 18 highway, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d almost think it was in downtown Kabul in Afghanistan.

SARM CONVENTION | RESOLUTIONS

Flood related issues, prevention plans among resolutions at SARM convention Rural municipalities suffer damage | The devastation is phenomenal, said one reeve BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan rural municipalities say they know when to declare a local emergency, and when to call one off. RMs dealing with flood emergencies the last two years had to declare a new state of emergency every seven days, according to the province’s Emergency Planning Act. One section of the act says a local emergency declaration expires every seven days unless renewed earlier, while another section allows local authorities to terminate the emergency when it no longer exists. The RM of Benson, near Estevan, found itself in the position of having to call special meetings every week in order to extend its state of emergency. Reeve Dave Hoffort told delegates to last week’s Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities midterm convention in Regina that became costly and time-consuming when councillors were already dealing with the flood itself. He said RMs should be allowed to declare an emergency only once. Delegates agreed, passing a resolution that would see the section

requiring renewal deleted. They also passed a resolution asking the SARM board to lobby the province for programs to help municipalities with permanent flood and water control works. Another resolution asked the board to lobby for a program to fund engineering and construction of new water control projects. Linda Clavelle, councillor in the RM of Buckland, said her region is at a 65-year high for groundwater levels. “This would be new channel clearing or drainage where none exist,” she told delegates. Jim Hipkin, reeve from Lumsden, warned that the water has to go somewhere. His RM in the Qu’Appelle Valley suffered extensive damage from upland drainage projects, he said. The banks of the Qu’Appelle River are falling in, large trees have fallen and blocked water and the river itself is becoming shallower. “The devastation that water did is phenomenal,” he said. He and several others said that water control is critical to preventing future damage. A related resolution called for the beaver control program to be extend-

ed for at least another year. Delegates also want the crop insurance program changed so that the deductible is paid on net unseeded acres due to flooding, not the seeding intensity calculation used by Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. Other resolutions passed at the convention included one requesting SARM look at bylaw changes to allow its board members to seek nomination in federal and provincial elections without having to resign from SARM first. The resolution was amended to say resignation would not be required unless the person was elected. “Some of our best leaders are in this organization,” noted Herb Park of Rocanville. Delegates want hiring municipal police officers made less onerous. Right now, an officer who has been retired for more than three years can’t be hired without taking an additional five months of training. One delegate said RMs already pay a lot of money for RCMP service they don’t get and shouldn’t have to consider hiring more. But another said being able to hire a municipal officer, perhaps in cooperation with neighbouring RMs, could help with bylaw enforcement.

Genome map of cannabis sativa plant helps growers Hemp and marijuana growers will be able to improve yields and quality BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A recently completed genome map of the cannabis sativa plant has potential benefits for hemp and marijuana growers. Cannabis sativa is the plant species that includes hemp and marijuana. University of Saskatchewan biology professor Jon Page and University of Toronto professor Tim Hughes have published their research on the genome of cannabis sativa in the Journal Genome Biology. They sequenced the marijuana strain Purple Kush and the hemp strains Finola and US0-31 during the course of their two-year research project. “The genome of a plant is … the blue print for how it’s put together.… It gives you an idea of how all of the plant works together to produce its final form and its final products,” said Page. “Our work will allow other researchers to study and breed cannabis for different applications.” The mapping of the cannabis sativa g e n o m e “p rov i d e s a g e n o m i c resource that can be used to develop … both (the) agricultural and biomedical uses of the plant,” Page said. Research will initially benefit the scientific community and then eventually farmers, he said. Hemp growers will be able to use the information to produce plants with improved yields and quality.

Take a good look at the new 83- to 101-HP 5E Limited Series, and you might be tempted to call these “the perfect utility tractors.” Considering improvements like the redesigned, more ergonomically sound cab, the re-engineered, lower effort controls, and all the new standard and available comfort and convenience features, we won’t argue. But the real test is how the 5E Limited Series handles your jobs. So we kept all the features that made these some of the most capable tractors in their class: standard four-wheel drive. Standard independent PTO with fuel-saving Economy mode. Standard 12/12 PowrReverser™ transmission. Are the new 5E Limited Series the perfect utility tractors? We’ll let you decide. Until then, we’ll just call them perfectly practical. Find out more from your John Deere dealer, or visit us on online. JohnDeere.com/Tractors

Page said the genomic mapping discovered that hemp and marijuana differ at the genetic level. The difference lies in level of THC, the substance that provides the euphor ic or relaxed feeling in humans when eaten or smoked. Hemp, which has less than 0.3 percent THC, can be used as a food grain and as a source of fibre for clothing, rope, netting and paper. Farmers have grown hemp in Canada for seed and fibre since 1998 under the Industrial Hemp Regulations. About 62,000 acres were grown last year. Marijuana production and human consumption is regulated in Canada because of its higher THC content. It is legally available for specific medical purposes under the Marijuana Medical Access Regulations. Medical marijuana is grown by Prairie Plant Systems Inc. under government approval. Hemp and marijuana have been used by humans for more than 5,000 years. The cannabis sativa genome research and mapping project is the first conducted on a medical plant. The joint research project was initiated because of a shared interest in the multi-facetted nature and uses of cannabis sativa.

Alta. lamb numbers increase, but still fail to meet demand Record prices are expected to continue STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Those attending a Zone 2 Alberta Lamb Producers meeting in Lethbridge Nov. 5 heard that Alberta ewe numbers rose one to two percent from last year. The increase boosted the provincial flock to 90,000 head, but it is still eight percent smaller than in 2006. “We definitely need more sheep in the province,” said Tony Stolz, consultant and project co-ordinator for the national sheep traceability project. Canada continues to import 60 percent of the lambs consumed domestically. Much of that comes from Australia and New Zealand, where producers receive $135 per animal. Prices of up to $165 per lamb are being reported in Alberta, which may encourage producers to step up production. Stolz said 60 percent of lambs in Alberta are produced on farms with fewer than 50 ewes. Twenty-six percent come from farms with 50 to 177 ewes, 10 percent from farms with 178 to 500 ewes and four percent from operations with more than 500. Even so, the medium to large operations produce 50 to 60 percent of the lambs sold. Demand for meat

Global consumers eat 26 percent more meat than they did 20 years ago, which Stolz said should be a signal that there is a market for higher production. “We are seeing record prices for lamb in the last several years and we expect that to continue,” he said. Processors and accompanying infrastructure are jeopardized without consistent supply, he added. The federal government wants national livestock traceability in place by Jan. 1, 2013, and Stolz said the sheep industry is approaching that deadline with potential producer benefits in mind. The initial barrier of $4 radio frequency identification tag costs was overcome when cheaper tags were found. As well, a provincial government tag incentive program reimburses producers for some tag purchase costs. Stolz said he has explored various traceability software and equipment with the help of producers who helped test the options. His research has prompted Alberta Lamb Producers to plan workshops about FarmWorks, a flock management software designed to work with RFID, and SheepBytes, a ration balancing program. “We feel these RFID systems can benefit producers,” said Stolz. In other business, proposed changes were discussed that would alter zone boundaries for the ALP. Alberta sheep production has shifted from the south to the central region since current boundaries were determined, resulting in disproportionate numbers in some zones.

SHEEP PRODUCTION | PROFITS

Sheep producers fight for pastures

Management must embrace technology to see profit BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Alberta Lamb Producers have had little success gaining access to provincial grazing reserves for sheep pasture purposes. At a Zone 2 meeting Nov. 5 in Lethbridge, ALP executive director Margaret Cook said the organization “has reached an absolute brick wall” with efforts to access grazing reserves in Alberta. Individual reserve associations handle care, handling and management of the province’s 32 grazing reserves so ALP’s request for government intervention was fruitless, said Cook. “You’ve got to keep hammering on the doors of your local community pastures,” she told producers. Grazing reserves are designed to provide summer pasture on public land for farmers and ranchers. Their use is governed through grazing management agreements that outline the mission, goals and vision of each grazing reserve. Producers interested would have to present a pilot project proposal directly to the grazing association in which they’re interested. ALP has been working on the file since spring. At that time, president Phil Kolodychuk said many producers would like access to grazing reserves but cattle producers are reluctant to allow them, due in part to concerns about predation and fencing. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

LEDUC, Alta. — Hope is not a strategy for successful farming, says an Australian livestock specialist. “Planning is essential,” Richard Apps told sheep producers at their annual Alberta Sheep Breeders Association symposium. He said sheep producers made money even in the midst of Australia’s worst drought. Those who did so enjoyed a higher percentage of wool and lamb per hectare and lower costs of production. He said profit in sheep operations is driven by the number of ewes per hectare, the number of lambs per ewe run and the weight of the lambs when they are sold. A study commissioned by Meat and Livestock Australia found that farmers who made less money still worked hard but were slow to adopt new technology that would increase profitability. “The poor performance of the average, and below, producers is not a function of a lack of research-based technical information to fine tune their businesses, but rather a function of social and generational family conditioning that stifles innovation and uptake of R and D outputs,” Apps said. Alberta’s 132,000 head flock is tiny compared to Australia’s 68 million sheep, but Apps said he expects access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

A study showed sheep producers who made less money were slow to adopt new technology. | FILE PHOTO similarities between top producers in both regions. Top producers follow a five-point plan: • Establish business plans and objectives. • Calculate cost of product per kilogram of meat or wool. • Compare their business performance against industry benchmarks. • Quantify risks and develop a risk management plan. • Assess enterprise changes and new technologies. Apps said anyone can establish a business plan, but it takes discipline to stick to it and avoid distractions. “It’s really easy to be busy on the farm. Being busy does not mean you are productive or profitable,” he said. Top end producers in Australia work with researchers, associations and other industries to conduct onfarm research on large-scale plots.

“They’re testing principles that come out of research stations. Onfarm trial work is a powerful tool.” Apps said producers need to know their cost of production, which is a fundamental tool for determining a farm’s highest costs. Are they wages, feed or supplements? He also asked producers to list their most important profit drivers. “Who put yourself at the top of the list?” he asked. “The number one profit driver in Australia, and I suspect it’s the same here, is the manager. You need to think about how you go about educating yourself, keeping abreast of technology.” Alberta Lamb Producer director Kathy Parker said this year’s symposium wasn’t designed to teach the basics of lamb production, but to address management skills. “I think the industry has matured to the point that there are very capable

producers that need to address the management issues that aren’t all about death and sickness,” she said. “Most of production losses aren’t about death, they’re about not being able to manage effectively, and no one wants to do management. It’s hard. This symposium is about change and how to change how we think. It’s a bit of a paradigm shift.” Alberta’s sheep industry has seen steady growth, especially when other industries such as cattle, bison and pigs were in the doldrums. “The industry is certainly growing and the flock sizes are getting bigger,” she said. “We’re having an infusion of producers from other industries like cattle, hog, dairy that are very comfortable talking about cost of production and it’s giving the momentum to this kind of discussion. It’s evolved past a cottage industry. Now it’s the industry people are really seriously considering.”

GRAIN MARKETING | MANAGING MARGINS

Margin management more important than wheat board HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

Producers at both extremes of the wheat board debate may be in for a surprise

predict a Golden Age of Disappointment to follow the end of the Canadian Wheat

Board’s monopoly. At least it will be for those who have exercised their lungs aggressively for 20 years about the allegedly overwhelming importance of the issue. For less ideological farmers, it’ll be just another year of grinding out a margin in the face of weather and market volatility. Life after the board will be neither as good nor bad as pugilists of either political extreme predict, and the post-board reality will once more reinforce the importance of marketing and risk management, regardless of the marketing system involved. Surviving in the prairie grain growing business has always been brutally hard and I doubt the wheat board has

made much difference to whether farmers survived or failed over the past few decades. “It’s all about margin,” a Bank of Montreal agricultural lending manager told me recently during a panel discussion examining the bank’s projection of good growth in prairie agricultural production, but it’s also about high risks. Crop prices are likely to be good, but input prices will probably be high, and everything’s going to be volatile, so don’t get caught buying expensive inputs and selling cheap crops six months later. That’s the bottom line I took from the discussion, and it’s something that almost all farmers already real-

ize but few act upon. Derek Squair of Agri-Trend Marketing laughed when he told me that farmers hate to lock in canola prices a year before they sell their next crop, but they have no problem locking in the fertilizer prices that will be the biggest cost of producing that crop. Many farmers seem to be dating the Twin Sisters of Error when dealing with the input-crop spread. They get worried when fertilizer prices surge so they lock in prices before they can rise further. That’s sister Fear. But if canola prices are good, many of the same farmers assume they will just get better, and won’t lock anything in. That’s sister Greed. access=subscriber section=markets,crops,news

Some marketing advisers who offer whole farm risk management strategies encourage farmers to lock in margins and spreads between their chief inputs as they make commitments. For example, they will sell $100,000 of new crop canola if they buy $100,000 of fertilizer, just to ensure that particular component of exposure is covered off at a profit. That’s less exciting than holding off all crop pricing and rolling all the dice on a possible future rally that will make a once-in-a-lifetime windfall. However, it’s the kind of thing that can help a farm business survive in bad years when the spreads swing the wrong way, and leaves lots of room to make good money when it goes the other way. But sensible margin protection and risk management is not exciting, and certainly far less exciting than jumping up and down screaming about the wheat board, pro or con. What I’ll be most interested in observing next year is how those farmers most involved in the wheat board debate act in the aftermath. If they’ve been blaming the CWB for why they can’t make money growing wheat, they might have to reassess their problems if they still can’t make money. And if they have been believing that the existence of the board is what is making them viable, they might be surprised if they’re still viable after the board’s single desk is gone.

Russia to sell 49 percent of state owned grain trader Government will retain control of United Grain Co. MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — The Russian government will sell about 49 percent of the country’s main state grain trader, according to an order signed by president Dmitry Medvedev and published in the government gazette Rossiiskaya Gazeta. It orders the government to organize an additional issue of shares in the trader, the United Grain Co., within six months, ensuring that the state retains a controlling stake of 50 percent plus one share. The order gives no more details about the share issue. Viktor Krupenin, UGC spokesperson, said it was up to the government to determine how the shares would be placed. “We do not know precisely what will be the final mechanism, but it is likely that there would be no initial public offering,” Krupenin said in an e-mailed statement. “It looks like the talk is about a closed subscription for investors to be selected and recommended by independent advisers.

He said the lodge took the profits as the business grew, but his father still operates the camp because it gives him something to do in retirement. Fredrickson, a fifth-generation farmer, was recently presented with a Farmer Recognition Award at a Yorkton farm show. The Fredrickson farm, operated as Maydell Farm, has deep roots in the Theodore region. Ollie Fredrickson came to the area with the railway in 1895, and his son Carl, Blake’s great-grandfather, started the farm. “One of the quarters we have farmed ever since,” said Fredrickson. The family recently applied for the Century Farm Award on the quarter. For years, a dairy was the heart of the farm. “My grandfather Harold and May (his wife) started the dairy,” he said. It operated from 1950 until 1997, when Allan phased it out. Fredrickson said it mainly came down to the size of the operation. “It was the economy of scale: get bigger or do something else. So he phased out the dairy operation.” However, the rest of the farm grew as a result. “Since the dairy, we’ve expanded the grain farm through the last 10 years.” The family now farms 7,500 acres, growing mostly wheat and canola. They have also grown flax, oats and barley. Fredrickson said 2011 was a good one on the farm. “I was very happy with the crop, and happy with the price,” he said, considering it followed “a very difficult spring, very close to being as bad as last spring (2010).” However, the family was better prepared for wet conditions this year. “We had a lot of learning experience from last year that allowed us to do what we needed to do,” he said. The weather improved in the fall and the crop was in the bin by the end of the month. The Fredricksons also have a cattle herd, which now includes more than 300 cows. The herd started out as purebred Hereford, but for the last five years they have been crossing with Red Angus. They recently began backgrounding and finishing calves at a neighbouring ranch, which makes more sense because they don’t have the cattle to do the finishing themselves. However, he figures that if someone can buy his calves and finish them, that means there must be a dollar for him to capture through contracting. “They (finishers) must be doing it for a reason,” he said.

YORKTON, Sask. — Wayne Nagy has been involved in horse pulling for only two years but has found the time to compete at events from the Calgary Stampede to Canadian Western Agribition in Regina. However, he recently had one of the biggest moments of his career when he topped the lightweight pulling division of a Yorkton heavy horse and horse pulls show with his team of King and Queen. The team pulled a sled loaded with 9,000 pounds of shingles for the full 14 feet, a night after pulling 10,000 lb. in the same event. The pulls were the heaviest of the event, matching that pulled by the top heavyweight team. King and Queen weigh slightly less than 3,000 lb. as a team. Nagy, who does chores with horses on his farm near Melville, Sask., was all smiles over the win. “It feels good to come out on top in front of the home crowd,” he said. So what is the key to winning? Nagy said it all about having fit horses. “I work them every day. An hour, an hour-and-a-half every day. They’ve got to work,” he said. Nagy said he liked watching the sport and was invited to pull. “They bugged me to do it, and I won the class.” From there, he was hooked.

“WE’RE SEEING huge productivity gains with our M150s, both in

cutting our wheat, barley and canola as well as our hay crops. In fact, the A40-D header lets us cut pretty much 24 hours a day, even under really tough crop conditions. Because of these machines, we have much more time for other work on the farm.”

SAUSAGE FESTIVAL | NOT FOR VEGETARIANS

Celebrating sausage: autumn in Bekescsaba Hungarian city famous for sausage festival | At the heart of this annual celebration is a boozy sausage making competition BEKESCSABA, Hungary (Reuters) — The annual Bekescsaba Sausage Festival is the place to taste and find out secrets of Hungary’s spicy kolbasz sausages,. However, strict vegetarians and anyone who sticks to the rule that it’s best not to ask how a sausage was made might want to steer clear. Pig to plate is on display with little left to the imagination, from butchering a pig, complete with blowtorch for searing the bristles, to grinding the meat, mixing it with spices and squeezing it into long, filmy sausage casings that fit just so over the nozzle of a purpose-built stuffing machine. “Any foreigner who ever once tasted the Hungarian sausage will always ask me: ‘that sausage, can you please bring me that sausage again?’ ” said Gyula Bodrogi, a Hungarian actor and member of the jury that judges the best of the day’s kolbasz, also known as kielbasa in some regions. And people do love it. The 15th year of the four-day festival in a rural area of southeastern Hungary, near the Romanian border, drew an estimated 100,000 visitors over the end of October holiday weekend. While others celebrated Halloween and All Saints Day, many Hungarians and Romanians spent time well fed at

what organizers say is the biggest eating and drinking event in eastern and central Europe, a food-focused flipside to Germany’s beery Oktoberfest. People come for the weather, which this year was sunny and mild, for music from local and regional rock and folk bands, for dancing, crafts, amusement park rides, beer, wine and the ever-present, potent and often homemade palinka fruit brandy. But most of all they come for the kolbasz, made according to a century-old recipe of pork, paprika, garlic and caraway seeds and available in sizes and shapes from finger-sized to monsters more than a metre long, ranging in texture from dry to moist and in spiciness from mild to mouthdestroying. Visitors also get to watch and cheer on 500 10-person teams making kolbasz from scratch, competing in a good-natured, carnival-like, palinka-fueled atmosphere. “There are other festivals but this atmosphere, this crazy good spirit, the teams are unrivalled anywhere else,” said Jozsef Nemeth, deputy president of the sausage-judging jury. The sausage-making contest provides a focus for the festival, and a chance for one-upmanship among sausage makers.

“The spirit of a beautiful woman is in our sausage,” said Fervency Bordacs, dressed in the long, skirt-like garment of the Hungarian puszta plains, with hat to match. He came with a team from Debrecen in eastern Hungary to make sausage in Bekescsaba’s socialist-era Sports Hall, where bright smiles made up for the somewhat dingy lighting and period decor. Other contestants more modestly said their sausages contained special blends of paprika, garlic or top quality pork, or maintained their team was best at mixing it all up. “Let’s do it, guys,” said Bence Szabo, team leader for a group of university friends, many of them now software programmers in Budapest, as about eight hands, covered in clear plastic gloves, kneaded the contents of a big plastic bin full of 10 kilograms of freshly ground pork meat, plus salt, paprika and whatever they thought was good. When the meat and seasonings are thoroughly mixed, it is squeezed through a sausage maker into clear casings and proudly displayed on each team’s table for the judges to taste and decide who made the day’s best kolbasz. It happens in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with one table helping out another, sharing ingredients and

palinka and anything else anyone needs, until the entire festival feels like one huge, if somewhat tipsy, family. Outside the Sports Hall, in a ropedoff area, a team of six butchers from the meat company Agropupak in Kukujevci, Serbia, showed a crowd of several hundred people, including youngsters who possibly never had been on a farm, where the raw ingredients of sausage come from by

butchering a pig. The pig was dead on arrival, but the Serbs did everything else, from shaving the bristles to cutting up the carcass. “The only difference is in the way we cut it up, but a pig is a pig, from here or across the border,” Bogatic said. The presence of the Serbs, plus sausage-making teams from Romania, Slovakia, Germany and Austria,

Sclerotinia the hard way. Sclerotinia is a costly disease for canola growers. Provincial disease surveys* indicate that 82% of prairie acres are affected by it. Losses can easily top $30 per acre... almost $5000 per quarter section. Spraying to control sclerotinia is expensive and uncertain because it depends on critical timing.

NEWS gives the festival an international flavour and makes it an occasion for good-natured national rivalries. “I’m an ethnic Hungarian, but Hungarian sausage is too spicy for my taste,” said Laszlo Gyorfi from Sepsiszentgyorgy, Romania, offering a sample of the milder Romanianstyle version. All manner of food and drink was available in the sports hall and several mammoth marquis, but it was possible, and cheaper, to graze from sausage-making tables where team members offered samples of their wares, bread, cheese, bite-sized pogacs pastries and the ever-present palinka. Sandor Hegely, who has taken over running the festival from its founder, local librarian Zoltan Ambrus, said it has grown in 15 years from an event with 50 sausagemaking teams to 10 times that, with attendance to match. “It’s more people than ever,” he said, adding that part of the attraction of the festival is that people the world over love sausage. It is the biggest of its kind in the region, and brings in hundreds of thousands of euros for hotels, restaurants and other local businesses. And what is the secret of the best Hungarian kolbasz? Hegely said the local kolbasz, while made with plenty of paprika, uses no pepper. But sausage makers such as 62-year-old former prize-winner Mihaly Kovacs immediately begged to differ. “We do use pepper, a little white pepper, a little black, not much, so it’s not overwhelming,” Kovacs said. “With that we increase the harmony of taste.”

HORSES | CLYDESDALES

Sask. farmer raised world champion Clydesdale World Clydesdale Show | Supreme champion at world show now owned by California family BY CALVIN DANIELS FREELANCE WRITER

YORKTON, Sask. — The world’s best Clydesdale was born on a farm near Canora, Sask. Donegal Dr. Pepper was named supreme champion at the World Clydesdale Show in Madison, Wisconsin, in late October. It was only the second world show held, the first being in 2007. The six-year-old stallion was raised by Greg Gallagher of Canora and was chosen the show’s grand champion

stallion for its current owners, Bob and Laura Gookin of Boulevard, California. It topped a field of 108 stallions that were eligible for the title. Donegal Dr. Pepper went on to defeat the grand champion mare and grand champion gelding to become the show’s supreme champion Clydesdale, topping the 380 eligible Clydesdales. Gallagher was in the stands watching the stallion he had reluctantly sold as a four-year-old. The horse’s move to the United States began when a Manitoba judge

was in California and suggested to the Gookins that Gallagher might be a good source for a stallion. “They came up and looked at him,” said Gallagher. “I said he’s not for sale.” They called him a year later while he was holidaying in Mississippi. “They asked about him again. I said he’s not for sale.” But this time Gookin asked how much money it would take to make a deal possible, and Gallagher stated a price. “He said, ‘for that I’ll take him.’ ” Gallagher hoped to get home from holidays to breed a mare or two to Dr.

Pepper, but the Gookins had already arranged for the horse to be picked up. “I never got to see (him) again until the show a couple of weeks ago,” he said. But the bloodline remains. “I raised his mother and his father and grandmother and grandfather,” said Gallagher. “That’s what you call homegrown. … I have a son, two half brothers and a couple of sisters of his.” Gallagher said he knew Dr. Pepper was a good stallion and had a good chance of doing well at the world show. “But I don’t think you ever presume access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

that your horse is that good.” The stallion had placed well at Canadian Western Agribition as a junior stallion, “so I knew I was in the right league.” He was confident Dr. Pepper would win its class at the world show, but when Gookin asked, “can he win it all?” Gallagher said he knew there were other good stallions. When the win did come, Gallagher said “it really didn’t sink in for me, until about six hours later.” Then it struck him: “my God, he’s mine.” G a l l a g h e r s a i d h e’s g l a d t h e Gookins were persistent in their pursuit of Dr. Pepper. “I’m a lot better off I sold him,” he said. The California couple had the time and resources to properly prepare the stallion for the world show. “He brought him out looking good. I don’t have the resources to do that.” Gallagher has been involved in Clydesdales almost since birth. His father was born in 1883, and when he turned 15, “took a team of Clydesdales to the bush in Quebec.” It was good business because while a man earned $8 a month, a man with a team made $30. Gallagher ’s father eventually moved west and settled near Yorkton, where he again raised Clydesdale until retiring in 1960. “So it’s in the blood,” Gallagher said. He started his own herd of horses in 1977 and remains one of Saskatchewan’s larger breeders on his farm near Crystal Lake. He has 60 head and plans to foal 15 mares in the spring. Now 71, Gallagher has no plans to stop raising the big horses. He said his father’s spirit was broken when he left the farm and his horses for a home in the city. “He died within a year,” he said. “That’s not going to happen to me. You’re not going to separate me from them. As you age you’ve got to have an interest to stay alive. If you lose interest you’re done.” Clydesdales from all over Canada and the U.S. competed, as well as horses from Great Britain. “People from Western Canada and from this district did very well,” said Gallagher. Delvin and Louise Szumutku of Stockholm, Sask., placed first in a class of 25 geldings. They also placed second in the three-year-old stallion class, fourth in the yeld mare class of 24 entries, fifth out of 20 in the stud foal class and seventh out of 28 in the stallion foal class. “Linda Banga of Canora placed an amazing third in a class of 44 in the gelding cart class,” said Gallagher. “Her perennial winner, Banga’s Crystal Doll, was fourth out of 44 in the mare cart class as well as placing third in her line class.” The Canadian Prairies dominated in the winner’s circle. As well as the grand champion stallion bred in Saskatchewan, the grand champion mare was exhibited by Wes Gordeyko of Ohaton, Alta., and the reserve champion mare was shown by the Madsens of Hamiota, Man. “When you’re showing anywhere in Western Canada, you’re showing against the best, and that became very obvious at the world show.”

DIVERSIFICATION | VALUE-ADDED

Having fingers in many pies offers farm security Ventures in cattle breeding, fruit, firewood | “It’s about trying things out,” says former geologist

YORKTON, Sask. — Bruno Wiskell started a recent speech with a startling admission. “Hello. My name is Bruno and I’m a compulsive gambler. I’m a farmer.” Wiskell, who made the joke at a recent farm show in Yorkton, said farming, like any other career choice, must be one that makes you happy. Otherwise, it makes no sense to take on the risks. However, if you enjoy farming, then there are great opportunities to explore. In Wiskell’s case, he had ties to the farm but grew up in the city. His grandfather started farming in 1938 but he was born and raised in Edmonton. “Until I was 15 I didn’t have too much to do with farming.” However, when Wiskell was 15 his grandfather died, and his father quit his city job to return to the Alberta farm. “When I got to the farm I knew it was what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.” Wiskell said the farm had freedom, the outdoors and an opportunity for knowledge. However, disagreements with his father drove him to take a path in business, becoming a geologist with a Calgary office. “I hated my job. I did not like being in that little box,” he said. He was becoming what he calls a calendar counter, who counts the days until he can start living the life he really wants. Wiskell said he remembered looking out his office window at a crew planting flowers in Calgary. “I wanted to be out there with my hands in the soil,” he said. Then oil prices crashed he was let go. So at age 28, he bought a farm. “I started out with no money, struggling to make ends meet,” said the 51-year-old. His first tractor was a 1965 45 horsepower International; his first combine a 1974 IH 815. However, Wiskell said he was willing to experiment and try new ways to increase returns from the farm. “Through the smallest windows, sometimes you see the biggest opportunities,” he said. Not that every experiment worked. Wiskell said when experts were talking of an aging population wanting smaller cuts of beef, he crossed Jersey and Dexter cattle to achieve the smaller cuts. However, no one wanted the small calves. “It didn’t work out … but it’s not a big deal. It’s about trying things out,” he said. “Not only do I look at things differently, I look at different things.” Wiskell said his main goal was to achieve greater control of returns on the farm, not watching the weather and commodity prices. Wiskell has tried, and been successful, at various enterprises. He sold cow manure as fertilizer, garnering “three times as much on the manure as the cattle.” He cut trees to make lumber, but found greater profit in selling firewood, and eventually in selling wood chips. He has grown pumpkins and grapes and started a rose garden to attract tourists. “We sell everything on emotion.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

He was the lone grower in the county when he got into pumpkins. “Guess what we could charge for our pumpkins? Anything we wanted.” It is the same for bus tours now visit-

ing their gardens. Wiskell said the idea came from visiting Butchart Gardens near Victoria, where admission is $25 and tea and crumpets are $35. He started building his gardens

when he returned home. “You build it, they will come.” Seventeen bus tours visited last year. Wiskell said trying a range of things has given him protection from

the full effects of floods, droughts, tornados and other disasters. “We’re so diversified we have not taken a hit that has knocked us off our feet yet,” he said.

Bridging the rural, urban food disconnect Food supply system failing | A food activist calls for an aggressive approach to improve Canada’s food distribution system STORIES BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

PETERBOROUGH, Ont. — Canada’s farmers need to wake up to the grassroots call for fundamental food system changes, yet they remain unaware of the message. That’s how Bryan Gilvesy sees the situation.

The owner of a certified local, sustainable grass-fed cattle operation in southwestern Ontario spoke at the Bring Food Home conference late last month. “All this work hasn’t filtered out to farm country yet,” he said. The Bring Home Food conference attracted more than 400 participants. A key conference theme reaccess=subscriber section=news,none,none

Several speakers called for structural change to address the challenge, including alternatives to big grocery chains. Debbie Field, executive director of Toronto’s Food Share program, said all farmers should join a broad coalition of interest groups to build a new system. Lauren Baker, Toronto Food Policy Council co-ordinator, advocates for a kitchen-based revolution to develop new food supply systems. “Farmers have an important voice as solution providers…. It’s about people finding a voice in the food system.” Peterborough area Food Plus founder Lori Stahlbrand said if food distribution alternatives are to be improved, farmers need to become involved. Connecticut-based food activist Mark Winne called for a more militant stance by food advocates. “I’m concerned that despite all the things we’ve been doing it’s not enough…. The time is right for a more aggressive policy, which I define as protest.” British-born Raj Patel, a writer, activist and academic and who once worked for the World Bank, has a similar view. “We are not consumers of democracy, we are its proprietors and we have work to do.” Challenges of succession Several speakers talked about the aging farm population. “Seventy-five percent of farmers in the next 10 years will retire and 60 percent of those do not have success o r s … a n d w e a re c o m p l e t e l y unprepared,” said Christie Young, executive director of FarmStart, a Guelph-based organization that provides training opportunities for new farmers.

BRING HOME FOOD CONFERENCE | ACCESS

Urbanites discover connections to locally grown food PETERBOROUGH, Ont. — The disconnect between food consumers and the farm may be greatest in lowincome areas of big cities. That’s why the Queen West Community Health Centre is loading up folks on buses and taking them to farms. The visits can be life-changing experiences for people living in areas of Toronto where access to food is tenuous, according to clinic health promoter Linor David. Some may even have forgotten, or never experienced, what local food tastes like. “When the people eat local food, they say it tastes amazing. We have to remake those connections to local food and this is one way to do that,”

LINOR DAVID QUEEN WEST COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE

David said. The health centre is one of 27 across the city helping meet the needs of under-serviced communities. David and other panel speakers at the Bring Home Food conference in Peterborough on Oct. 27 talked about Toronto’s food deserts; areas of the city where access to the nearest grocery store is limited.

He also pointed to other failures of the mainstream food system. While Canada produces more calories than its population consumes, it’s estimated that 10 percent of all Canadian households are food insecure. The access problem can be linked to the closure of smaller, more localized grocery stores. According to Sarah Vogelzang and

SARAH VOGELZANG TORONTO FOOD STRATEGY PROGRAM

Seodhna Keown of the Toronto Food Strategy program, there’s often a couple kilometre walk or farther to commute by public transport to reach the nearest grocery store in many areas of Toronto. Working families may also be time constrained, working multiple jobs. “People often think cities having nothing to do with food…. We have to remind people that they do,” Keown said. In the city, food is linked to physical health, mental health, environmental protection, community safety, vibrant neighbourhoods, jobs and culture, she said. The farm trips provide only limited access to local food and there are

other challenges. Toronto Food Strategy, part of Toronto Public Health, supports community gardens, fresh produce truck deliveries and fresh produce markets. It’s a community approach to deliver fresh produce to underserved areas. The long-established Toronto Food Share organization has become involved by obtaining fresh produce for the community markets at the Toronto Food Terminal and from 20 to 30 farmers. Toronto Food Strategy and health clinics also teach families how to prepare meals using raw ingredients and preserve fruits and vegetables when they’re in season. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ment support for the type of diversified operations FarmStart tends to support. Urban food advocates also had a chance to learn about the farming community at the conference. At one workshop the phrase “old white men on tractors” was used repeatedly to describe farmers who are seen as being part of a corporatecontrolled, global food system. Gilvesy felt obligated to respond. He said large-acreage Canadian farmers should be part of the sustainable food discussion. “That (what conventional farmers do) is not a bad thing and don’t dismiss it … and understand how they got there,” he said. “You just can’t say, conventional farmer bad. You often find out with a conventional farmer, there may be a million (positive) things they’re doing on their own.” Besides, he said, anyone with an intimate knowledge of Canadian agriculture realizes there is more to be considered than “old white men on tractors.” Women are equally important to farming and second and third generations are often involved. The farming community is also ethnically diverse, colour aside, and the viewpoints of farmers are as wide ranging as within any other segment of Canadian society, he said. Gilvesy and Pat Learmouth of the Kawartha Farm Stewardship Collaborative, speaking in another workshop, talked about the environmental services farmers provide. The Environmental Farm Plan program for instance, has been well received in Ontario. It uses an incentive approach to encourage farmers to take measures that protect the environment, especially in areas impacting on water quality. More than 35,000 farmers — 75 percent of the total — have been involved and more than 20,000 projects worth $312 million have been completed. Other provinces have similar programs.

with both the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and government regulators unaware, is the issue that will not go away, they said. “Customer segregated funds have always been sacred,” said Darren Frye, president of Water Street Solutions of Peoria, Illinois, which provides farmer services from hedging price risk with futures markets to crop insurance. “If a company has financial trouble, they might have to go into Chapter 11 or cease to exist. But it’s never affected client monies or positions in being able to keep transactions flowing. So this is the first time. It’s unprecedented,” Frye said. “I just think there needs to be greater accountability.” Large producers of grain, livestock and other commodities, and buyers of those goods, often use futures to offset cash price risk, posting margin

or collateral money as good-faith deposits to assure they make good on those futures trades. Regulators including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have launched an investigation into MF Global as they search for more than $600 million in missing customer collateral. INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

China poised to become top ag importer BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China will become the world’s largest importer of agriculture products in five to 10 years as the country faces shrinking farmland and other constraints on production, a top Chinese government researcher said. Cheng Guoqiang, with the Devel-

opment Research Center of the Chinese cabinet, did not elaborate on what farm products China must import. China is already the world’s top importer of soy and cotton. The country’s agriculture faces challenges that include small-scale production, per-capita acreage that is less than 40 percent of the world’s average, underdeveloped organisational structure as well as little scientific and technological support, he said. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

U.S. changes classes for poultry sales WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is revising its definitions of fryer and roasting chickens and turkey

to reflect the increasingly short time needed to bring U.S. poultry to market. The new definitions, which lower the age of poultry in five classes, are expected to take effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Due to advances in breeding and more efficient feeding and management, producers need less time than in the past to have birds ready for sale. The USDA said the new definitions “more accurately and clearly describe the characteristics of poultry in the market today.” Fryer chickens, also known as broilers, for instance, will be classified as chickens less than 10 weeks old, three weeks less than the current definition. Roaster chickens will have an age of eight to 12 weeks, rather than the current three to five months. They also must have a ready-to-cook weight of five pounds or more. The USDA said the new definition would emphasize that roasters are young birds and not the more mature birds that consumers are accustomed to buying. Fryers yield enough meat to feed three to four people and the larger roasters serve five to seven people. ANIMAL HEALTH

HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Germany is to review the use of antibiotics in farm animals and possibly introduce new rules restricting their use, said German agriculture minister Ilse Aigner. “My goal is to nationally minimize the use of antibiotics and to improve the supervision by the responsible state governments,” Aigner said on German radio NDR Info. The move followed German media reports that up to 80 percent of chickens bred for meat in some German regions had been treated with antibiotics. It is feared the use of antibiotics in farm animals can cause bacteria to become resistant to some drugs used to treat humans. Rules under which chicken farms do not have to report use of antibiotics for statistics because of their right to privacy are expected to be changed. EXPORT SALES

Argentine farmers await export clearance BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentine farmers are holding back domestic corn and wheat sales, as the government gets set to approve more exports, which will bring much needed dollars into the country while boosting growers’ revenues. Argentina will authorize about 400,000 tonnes of international wheat sales, bringing relief to farmers after months of waiting, deputy agriculture secretary Oscar Solis said. Another 400,000 tonnes of corn may follow, according to an export company executive, who said he received early notice of the authorization, but asked not to be named. The releases will be the first since president Cristina Fernandez won a second term last month. Her landslide victory came over objections of some growers and business leaders who complain about the president’s interventions in the marketplace, including a quota system by which the government controls wheat and corn exports.

POULTRY | ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE

Study aims to trace resistant bacteria High levels in poultry | Production methods compared FILE PHOTO

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Chicken farmers are joining a national bacteria surveillance program. The industry made the decision after the Public Health Agency of Canada found high levels of antimicrobial resistant salmonella, E. coli and campylobacter in poultry at abattoirs and retail stores compared to beef and pork. These bacteria are linked to food borne illnesses. “We have seen that data and the industr y wants to know what’s going on and why some of these things are happening,” said Steve Leech, national program director with Chicken Farmers of Canada. The results of the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) were reported at a recent antimicrobial resistance conference in Toronto. Under CIPARS, flocks will be sampled when the birds are placed on farms and before they are shipped to market. A pilot project through the University of Guelph is also comparing bacterial levels among conventional, antibiotic free and organic flocks. “That type of surveillance will give us a much better understanding of why we are seeing some of the things we are seeing and potentially some of the sources,” Leech said in an interview. Rebecca Irwin of the Public Health Agency of Canada and a founding member of CIPARS reported that the program found resistant forms of bacteria, particularly in retail chicken in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Alberta and Manitoba were not part of the surveillance because of a lack of staff and funds. The program also checked pork, beef and seafood samples from across Canada to assess antibiotic use and measure the level of resistance found in the bacteria. A human component is also monitored on an ongoing basis. Bacteria loads were higher in retail poultry samples than those from processing plants. Officials suspect that bacteria increased as the poultry was handled along the food chain. In the most recent CIPARS report from 2008, retail chicken from British Columbia and Saskatchewan showed campylobacter resistance to certain drugs in eight and 10 percent of isolates, respectively. There were also higher levels of antimicrobial resistant E. coli. The percentage of E. coli isolates from Quebec and Saskatchewan with resistance to ceftiofur was significantly higher in 2008 than in 2007 and 2005, the first year of surveillance. However, bacteria are part of life, and consumers are reminded to think about proper handling of food and hygiene. They are the last link in the chain of food quality assurance, said Lisa Bishop-Spencer of Chicken Farmers of Canada. The organization is part of a larger access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

food safety program that promotes proper handling and cooking of meat and eggs, telling consumers to “cook, chill, separate and clean.” Its website also features a section on antibiotic use and proper poultry handling. “The connection in the consumer’s mind isn’t on antibiotics, it is on salmonella itself,” said Bishop-Spencer.

ANTIMICROBIAL DRUGS OF CONCERN FOR POULTRY SECTOR • Antimicrobial resistance has two implications: drugs are no longer effective in treating disease if bacteria becomes resistant to certain antibiotics; and resistant bacteria may be able to transfer antimicrobial resistance genes to other bacteria that cause disease in humans.

• The biggest concern is with Category 1 antimicrobials such as Bactria, A180, Excenel and Excede, which are related to drugs used to treat serious human infections. Category 2 drugs such as Tylan, Draxxin, and Micotil are of intermediate concern. Category 3 drugs such as tetracyclines are

of less concern because they are rarely used to treat serious human health problems. The least important animal drugs are the Category 4 ionophores such as Rumensin, Bovatec and Posistac that are never used in human medicine. Source: Canadian Cattlemen’s Association

A burning desire for energy efficiency Gassing off | The quest for hotter heat

WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — Gasification furnaces extract twice the heat from a cord of wood as do conventional outdoor water furnaces, says a furnace manufacturer. Brian Martin of Portage and Main Outdoor Water Furnaces said the firebox in a conventional outdoor water furnace is used to burn wood and is the source of heat for the liquid exchange system. Approximately half the energy goes up the chimney as smoke and particles or coat the chimney as creosote. It’s not highly efficient. Gasification wood furnaces, on the other hand, use the firebox to cook the wood, releasing energy- packed gases that are blown into a secondary combustion chamber for the real fire. The wood-burning chamber is not the prime source of heat in such a system, which operates in the 85 percent efficiency range. The gasification concept isn’t new. The first units were built in Europe in 1839, and the first gasification powered vehicle was built in 1901. Approximately 700,000 gasification-powered vehicles operated in Europe by the end of the Second World War. They were popular because they circumvented the need for petroleum fuel. Each carried a complete gasification plant on board. The exhaust vapours fueled a regular internal combustion engine. Today, the process is used for heat and electrical generation. Martin said North America is finally catching on to the efficiencies and environmental benefits of extracting more energy from gases rather than from solid fuel sources. “The primar y wood firebox is thickly lined with refractor brick,” he said . “Refractor brick retains massive amounts of heat and pushes the temperature in the primary firebox up to 1,300 degrees F and higher. You need that high of a temperature to unleash the gases. Conventional wood furnaces can’t maintain those kinds of temperatures.” Portage and Main uses pre-cast, heat-treated, stainless steel reinforced refractory brick. The bricks are the same size and shape as firebricks commonly used in fireboxes, but they are built to a higher standard to handle higher temperatures. Martin said wood cooks in the first firebox, which is pressurized with a small fan so the smoke, unburned material and fresh air are pushed below into the second firebox, called the reaction chamber. Temperatures in the reaction access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

The reaction chamber, located just below the primary firebox, is where the heat gets hotter. Gases from the pressurized top firebox are blown into the lower chamber where they ignite at temperatures exceeding 1,000 C.

The bottom 10 heat exchange tubes make the first pass through the water jacket. When the door is sealed shut, the hot exhaust moves up into the top 10 tubes for another pass through the water. chamber exceed 1,000 C, about double the typical sustainable temperature of a conventional firebox. The gasification process creates more British thermal units (BTUs) than a conventional furnace because it consumes all the smoke, creosote and other particles. The lack of creosote buildup means the liquid heat exchanger tubes, which serve as the exhaust tubes, can be located directly in the second firebox. Martin said tubes located in the firebox of a conventional outdoor furnace cake up with creosote and become ineffective. “The reaction chamber is also heavily lined with refractor brick,” he said. “That’s how we boost the temperature up beyond 2,000 degrees. At that temperature, we ignite the smoke and all the unburned material blown down from the top firebox. “And that’s how you extract the most BTUs from your fuel. If you put a piece of steel into the reaction chamber, it turns cherry red in three minutes. White hot in four to six minutes. Heat within the reaction chamber is intense. You could

do a little blacksmithing if you wanted.” The exhaust contains almost no polluting elements because of the near-total combustion. From the reaction chamber, exhaust flows up a meter through a half-dozen vertical heat exchange tubes. They split into 10 heat exhaust tubes as they exit the reaction chamber and enter the water jacket. The intense heat from the reaction chamber transfers to the liquid. The tubes make three horizontal passes through the water jacket, with each pass measuring five feet front to back. Nearly all the heat has been extracted from the tubes by the third pass. “By the time the exhaust leaves the chimney to the atmosphere, it’s nothing more than warm air. It’s gone from 2,000 F (1,000 C) down to 240 F (115 C), ” he said. “There’s no smoke. No visible signs of pollutants. And you can put your hand up to the chimney. We’ve captured just about every BTU that could possibly be extracted from a unit of wood. Plus, we’ve burned every unit of unburned fuel that

would otherwise go into the atmosphere as pollutants in a conventional outdoor furnace.” The exhaust tubes have long, twisty steel bars running down the middle. “The swirl in the bars spins the exhaust around so it has better contact with the walls of the tube,” Martin said. “Without the twisted bars, exhaust takes the course of least resistance, which is down the middle of the exchange tube. That would waste heat. By forcing the exhaust into contact with the walls, we extract more heat.” The bars slide out of the heat extraction tubes for periodic cleaning. The front and back of the furnace open completely for full access to all components. The high tech heat control system is computerized because there’s always the chance of overheating liquid when exhaust at 1,000 C and higher runs through heat exchange tubes. The Portage and Main solution is to regulate the fan that blows air into the primary firebox. The fan shuts down when water in the system approach-

es 80 C, thus slowing the combustion process in both fireboxes. The fan starts up again when it cools to 75 C , feeding more fresh air and oxygen to the fireboxes. Water temperature is maintained between 75 C nd 85 C. There is an automatic shutoff if the water level drops. Portage and Main also manufactures coal burning gasification, outdoor water furnaces. “Coal is the most plentiful fuel source on the planet and the cost to the farmer is about one sixth the cost of petroleum based fuels,” Martin said. The company, located in Piney, Man., manufactures a variety of wood and coal burning outdoor water furnaces. The Economizer IDM 100 puts out 140,000 BTUs per hour. It has a 70-gallon water capacity and takes logs up to 18 inches. At the top end, the Optimizer 450 puts out 600,000 BTUs per hour. It has a 2,800 litre capacity and takes logs up to 38 inches. Prices on wood burning furnaces are $8,500 to $11,500.

SEED RESEARCH | GENE PATENTS

Pioneer Hi-Bred patent protects soybean varieties Research and development | It costs $1 million and takes seven years for each new variety BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pioneer Hi-Bred is patenting some of its seed traits now that Monsanto’s patents on genetics for Roundup Ready crops are starting to expire. The move ensures that farmers continue to annually invest in the company’s genetics. The last Monsanto owned patent ends in 2014, with most having expired in 2011. Monsanto is offering a new generation of genes that will remain a patented line. However, many seed companies have successful lines of seed that will keep the original glyphosate tolerant gene. Pioneer Hi-Bred Canada president Ian Grant said his company is patenting some of the traits that it has bred into its existing soybeans. “The ever-green contracts that producers signed with us for the (technology use agreements) still stand and we will adopt that relationship for our patented traits, so farmers don’t have to renew those agreements,” he said. “It takes about seven years to develop a new variety with traits that deliver benefits to the grower and to ensure that we cover those R and D costs and have profitable products, we needed to address the issue of single-use seed.” Soybeans, unlike most of the canola

and corn genetics in the marketplace, are not hybrids and as a result seed yields don’t fall significantly from year to year when seed is kept for the next season. The company released 33 new soybean varieties last week, including 900Y61, which has resistance to phyophthora, handles iron deficiency chlorosis well, has moderate white mould protection and is suited to Manitoba’s Red River Valley. It and the current lineup of Pioneer soybeans will carry the new patent protection. Monsanto said some plant breeders will carry both Roundup Ready and Roundup Ready 2 lines into the future, and it will not prosecute producers who replant those crops that have expired patent genetics. However, many plant breeding companies and university breeders have also placed restrictions on saved seed through plant breeders’ rights and contractual agreements. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

in a 1999 vehicle crash. “After seven or eight years of driving minivans, he was fed up and decided he needed a four-wheel drive pickup,” said Jay Bohlman, the GoShichi dealer in Moorhead, Minnesota. Kitchin soon learned there was no such thing as a wheelchair accessible pickup, regardless of the price. The obstacle was the requirement to pass all three federal crash tests. Every new or structurally modified vehicle sold in the United States has to pass the 35 m.p.h. front impact test, the 33.5 m.p.h. side impact test and the 50 m.p.h. rear impact test. “I’ve watched a number of companies attempting to build wheelchair accessible pickups over the years,” said Bohlman, a mobility consultant in the business of finding equipment to meet the needs of physically handicapped people. “But they don’t pass the crash tests so they can’t come to market. This is the only truck to pass all three crashes. Not only that, it held together so well they were able to use the same truck in all three crashes.” Built to ruin The crash test dummies in the GoShichi crash tests sat in normal wheelchairs with the normal wheelchair wheel locks and seatbelts in place. “Getting through the crash tests is a very expensive ordeal,” said Bohlman. “You pay to build a prototype, then pay the federal government to wreck it for you, and they keep all the parts. You can’t even salvage a tail light lens. Right now, GoShichi has only tested the GM truck. Next they’ll do Ford, Dodge, Toyota and some of the others.” The GoShichi Chevy passed the tests in March and quickly went into production. Bohlman said the other truck brands will likely be similar to the Chevy modification. The body is lifted and the frame is notched out and re-enforced so the floor can be lowered to accommodate the height of the wheelchair and elevator mechanism. Lift capacity is 750 pounds. The heavy steel plate floor is six inches lower than the original floor,

which puts the driver in the correct position for the steering wheel, mirrors, controls, airbags and seatbelts. “The doors are welded together and attached to a heavy duty activator bar, which moves them in and out. Once the doors are in the out position, the platform lowers itself to the ground.” A docking device locks the wheelchair to the platform. It accommodates wheelchairs up to 28 inches wide. Kitchin and his engineers did not want to use hydraulics to move the components. Leaks would create a mess and could immobilize the system. As well, hydraulics go dead if the engine quits. They opted for an all-electric system. If the engine should happen to stop, there would be enough reserve capacity in the battery to work the system. If the entire electrical system went dead, it’s a matter of putting a ratchet at the end of the shafts to manually run it through the automatic cycle. The system employs two linear actuator screw drive motors, one for vertical movement and one for horizontal. The finished truck still has room for five passengers. For the wheelchair driver, it has 54 inches of headroom entering the vehicle and 57 inches of headroom once inside the cab. “Rather than go through truck dealers, we’ve worked out an arrangement with the automotive branch of Shoppers Drug. This branch specializes in mobility mechanisms like this. I believe we’ve signed up 19 Shoppers Drug outlets across Canada that have an automotive branch,” said Kitchin. Kitchin said all GoShichi dealers and installers are members of and adhere to the standards of the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association. The list price for GoShichi on an extended cab is $26,000 US plus the truck and $28,000 US for a crew cab plus truck.

ORGANIC | WORLD FOOD SUPPLY

Can organic production feed seven billion people? ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

he organic industry is often asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but can organics feed the world?â&#x20AC;? The question seems to imply that â&#x20AC;&#x153;organicâ&#x20AC;? is a warm and fuzzy idea or a trendy menu item, but certainly not a realistic system for addressing world hunger. As the world population hits seven billion, perhaps it is time to give the question serious thought. Yield is usually the first concern. Many studies comparing organic and non-organic production systems have found that yields are similar. Sometimes organic production is a bit greater; sometimes, a bit less. In general, organic production is furthest ahead in smaller scale systems, vegetable production, diverse systems, resource poor systems and peasant agriculture. Organic yields are often less for large scale monocultures. Organic agriculture emphasizes biological soil fertility, microbial diversity, increasing organic matter and the use of composts, green manures and animal manures. This is especially beneficial for depleted soil, helping it to become more resilient in the face of climate change. Biological methods are also more affordable for peasant farmers than are agrichemicals. A recent report from the ETC Group indicates that at least 70 percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is fed by peasants. What about the other 30 percent, those fed by industrial agriculture? Reduced yields here need not signal an increase in hunger, but it may necessitate a change in the way we think about our food. For instance, studies suggest that in industrial countries, up to 40 percent of our food is wasted. Reducing waste could be as beneficial as increasing yields. Of course, yield is not the whole answer. People go hungry in countries that export food. Poverty causes more starvation than true scarcity. Feeding the world includes making food affordable and accessible. This is best done by supporting peasants that provide food in local self sustaining communities. Peasants lose land to single commodity agriculture for export, often because governments need exports to provide money to pay debts. Reducing our support for these commodities, perhaps even forgiving some international debt, may allow more peasants to stay on the land. In rich countries, we think of organic foods as more costly because they tend to reap a premium. This is partly a reflection of supply and demand, with higher prices for organic products because they are less abundant and more desirable. Extra costs are also needed to cover the extra management required. The extra costs of non-organic production are less obvious. For instance, synthetic nitrogen fertilizers come with an environmental cost in access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

terms of greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and runoff into streams and rivers. Costs for organic, pasture-raised meat are generally much higher than those for industrial meat. Intensive livestock operations are based on rapidly converting cheap grain into cheap meat. Costs such as pollution of land, water and air are not paid as part of the price of a burger or nugget. It takes longer, and thus is more expensive, to raise an animal on pasture. Some animals, such as cattle, are healthiest when grazing. Other animals, such as pigs and poultry, may need some grain, but they still benefit from forage and foraging.

This takes time and management, and thus is costly. So can organic feed the world? Can it produce enough food, cheaply enough that everyone can be fed? Perhaps the question is so difficult to answer in part because it depends on so many interactions. Can organic production help improve soil and yields in the small scale peasant holdings that feed most of the world? It seems so. Can organic production be part of export commodity agriculture? Certainly, but further research and additional techniques may be necessary to bring yields in line with nonorganic production. Can organic systems provide the

entire world with $1 burgers and nuggets? Not likely. Can the industrial food system continue to produce these indefinitely? Not without environmental consequences. Can organic production be part of a food system that provides enough quality food for seven or more billion people? Yes. As we try to feed more people with less environmental damage, less waste, more diversity and better resilience, organic production methods will be part of that solution.

Seed Hawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sectional Control technology (SCT) is an innovative way to eliminate overlaps and save on input costs. SCTÂŽ works in conjunction with GPS and autosteer to lift openers when seeded ground is encountered and shut down metering of seed and fertilizer. This reduces ground disturbance and doubling up of inputs. Save on input costs. t 3FEVDF DPTUT CZ BT NVDI BT 10% depending on the width of your toolbar and the variability of your land.

SCT can be paired with all three forms of fertilizer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; granular, liquid and BOIZESPVT BNNPOJB .BOVBM PWFSSJEF keeps openers off and up, or openers on and down in the seeding position. The section size that is turned on and off is determined by the size of the distribution head. For example, with a 64-foot wide drill and 12-inch spacings, one section would have eight runs (openers) per head. The drill would then have eight 8-foot sections of eight openers each. One recent SCT convert is Dan Bonkowski. He farms 10,000 acres in the Wapella/Whitewood area, and after using local grower Dwayne Wolfeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seed Hawk last year, purchased his own 84-foot drill.

Akron 180T 10’ Grain Extractor The AKRON Grain Bag Storage System is now complete with the AKRON E 180 TH. By using an exclusive - patented - system the AKRON E 180 TH will roll up the bag while retrieving grain from it and preventing grain spilling. Unloading operation begins when fixing one end of the Bag around the AKRON E 180 TH roller, to start unloading. Once the bag has been fixed and the roller speed adjusted, the AKRON E 180 TH is ready to start unloading. Thanks to its exclusive - patented - design, the AKRON E 180 TH will automatically perform with minimum operator’s monitoring. Unloading operation requires a 75 hp tractor. The AKRON E 180 TH will retrieve the grain from the bag at about 5000/6500 bushels (180 metric tons.) per hour. All items FOB Humboldt, SK.

Wireless ART Air Seeder Rate and Blockage Monitor

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

SUNFLOWERS | HARVEST

Bird seed processor enters new frontier Supply shortage | Seed company owner delves into growing sunflowers to increase supply and encourage more growers BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Kent Rathwell doesn’t believe in being passive in business. The owner of the Sun Country Farms bird food manufacturing facility in Langham, Sask., this year faced the possibility of a sunflower seed shortage because of flooding in southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. His solution was to grow the crop himself, even though he had no farming experience. “We planted them in June and it was a little late,” he said. Growing 300 acres of sunflowers so late in the planting season was risky, but Rathwell found a solution for that, too. He used a corn planter to seed the crop with precision before spreading liquid fertilizer. Solving a supply problem wasn’t his only motivation for getting into farming. He also wanted to encourage farmers in the area to plant sunflowers and believed this could be best achieved by successfully growing a crop. With a successful harvest of his first crop in its final stages, Rathwell is optimistic about his future in farming. “I do plan on putting some in to continually have it in this area until we can get more farmers growing it,” said Rathwell. “We will be expanding our facilities to increase our capacities and potentially the farming side of it, growing the products to make sure they are in Saskatchewan because … in the Prairies we grow very good crops and I want to make sure we have supply.” Rathwell has also focused on environmental sustainability by purchasing wind generated energy to operate his bird food manufacturing plant. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

We will be expanding our facilities to increase our capacities and potentially the farming side of it. KENT RATHWELL SUN COUNTRY FARMS

He said it is not responsible business to produce bird products while contributing to the destruction of their natural habitat. “I care about the economic and environmental sustainability of our country,” said Rathwell. Sun Country Farms produces 15 million pounds of birdseed a year. It also markets bird feeders made from recycled material.

FOR THE BIRDS • Sunflower seeds are high in energy and packed with protein and fat. • Birds that eat sunflower seeds include: finches, cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, mourning doves, buntings, grosbeaks, juncos and sparrows.

Rathwell planted his sunflowers in June so harvest was late.

CANOLA | MARKET OUTLOOK

World economic issues influence ag commodity prices BY CALVIN DANIELS FREELANCE WRITER

YORKTON, Sask. — A market analyst doesn’t expect canola prices to continue their meteoric rise for much longer. “I don’t look at the year ahead as a calamity in the making … (but) I think the highs are behind us,” Mike Jubinville told the Saskatchewan Canola Expo held recently in Yorkton. “Assuming no production glitches … no real production threats … there will be slightly tighter margins to work with than we had this year.” However, Jubinville also said there are now new dynamics in the market.

MIKE JUBINVILLE MARKET ANALYST

“The old highs are likely the new lows.” He advised farmers to sell if they see $12 canola this winter. “Is $9 canola there? Maybe.” Jubinville said market outlooks have become more difficult because prices are now less influenced by specific commodity supply and demand numbers and more by world macro-economic factors.

“It’s some of the big picture things: what happens in the global economy and how it trickles down to agriculture,” he said. For example, the United States responded to the banking system’s near collapse in 2008-09 by “essentially (running) the printing presses and (creating) new money out of nothing.” Jubinville said this policy created an oversupply of U.S. currency and the dollar softened, but at the same time commodity prices climbed. “As the U.S. dollar goes up, commodities go down, and when the U.S. dollar goes down, commodities go up,” he said. That means threats to the market, such as the current uncertainty over

Greece’s debt crisis, could send ripples through markets. “The question is whether Europe is in deeper trouble than the U.S. was.” Such uncertainly could curb economic growth, he added, which would affect markets. “If one commodity gets drawn down by slow growth … agriculture will feel it,” he said. As an example, Europe’s economic troubles have sent the U.S. dollar higher, a signal commodity prices will drop. Markets are also influenced by non traditional investors. Hedge funds, retail investors and others are putting money into farm commodity markets.

“The participation of speculative money has created a much more volatile environment.” Jubinville said agriculture no longer operates on its own merits. He said linkages between diverse commodities such as copper, crude oil and canola are starting to occur. He said rapeseed oil is holding prices nearly $100 a tonne more than other vegetable oils in Europe. While that is buoying canola prices, it is a drag on “increasing discretionary demand” for the oil and has reached a level where users start looking for alternate oils if they can use them. He said the world supply of canola oil isn’t tight, which will not help hold prices higher. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Aboriginal education vital to economy New report | A university economist makes a case for narrowing the aboriginal education gap BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan farmers have a vested interest in seeing aboriginal education increase in the province, says a university economist. According to a recent report by University of Saskatchewan economist Eric Howe, closing the education gap between aboriginal and non-aboriginal residents comes with significant economic benefits. “I think farmers have more on the line in these issues than any other single segment in society, other than aboriginal people themselves. If these issues are not addressed in the medium term, given its demographic reality, Saskatchewan will become an unpleasant place to live,” Howe said. “If you’re an accountant, you can just move someplace else, but if you’re a farmer, that’s much more difficult.” Howe compared the economic and social benefits of increasing aboriginal education to that of the province’s potash industry. “Closing Saskatchewan’s aboriginal education gap would have the direct effect of yielding $90 billion in benefits,” said Howe. “To put this into context, the potash industry is universally understood to be critical to the economy of our province. However, the total production of potash in Saskatchewan back to the start of the industry is … fourfifths of $90 billion.” Howe likens the growing aboriginal population to an untapped natural resource. One in four people between the ages of 20 and 29 will be aboriginal in Saskatchewan by 2016, he said. “I think a lot of people don’t realize how much money is on the line here and how much money is being left unclaimed,” he said. “The amount is staggering. The lost benefits are greater than all sales of potash in the history of Saskatchewan.” His report found that the aboriginal education gap is large and will take decades to bridge. Closing it could produce a lasting economic boom for the province that’s more sustainable than mining or other economic activity. The Gabriel Dumont Institute hired Howe to conduct the research. The institute, which was incorporated in 1980, has trained more than 1,000 teachers and is one of the top two producers of the province’s practical nurses. Howe said people’s incomes rise on average when they achieve higher levels of education. This is particularly true of Metis and First Nations people, he added. Howe combined personal monetary and other benefits, as well as various societal benefits to arrive at his $90 billion benefit. For example, a Metis male without a high school diploma can expect to earn $547,000 over a lifetime. It triples to $1.67 million with a bachelor’s degree or higher. Angie Caron knows the value of education. She is a graduate of the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teach-

ers Education Program and works as an educational consultant for Saskatoon Public Schools. She said educational achievements create positive role models for aboriginals and non-aboriginals. “It’s important for everyone to see us in the roles that we also contribute because sometimes those stereotypes are what people remember,” she said.

FARMFAIR | WINNER’S CIRCLE

Cattle producers pull hat trick at Farmfair Alberta Supreme winners | The Miller-Wilson family beat out 50 competitors with their Black Angus bull BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — It was a triple play for the Miller-Wilson family at Edmonton’s Farmfair. Lee, Dawn, Ty, Dakota and Jaelayne Wilson stood in the spotlight at the Nov. 12 gala event after winning the Alberta supreme champion bull and female categories. The Angus bull was DMM Creed 75W and the female with a bull calf at side was DMM Miss Essence 37T. Minutes earlier, Jaelayne had led out the supreme grand champion heifer calf with DMM Miss Essence 14Y. The bull is owned in partnership with Harold and Dorothy Reich of Bashaw, Alta. The three-year-old cow qualified for the Alberta Supreme by winning the Angus division of the Olds Fall Classic in October and receiving the top prize as a yearling at the First Lady classic competition at Canadian Western Agribition. Farmfair also awarded the family grand champion with another pair, DMM Miss Essence 61W with a heifer at side. As well, they also had reserve grand champion red Angus bull with Red DMM Glesbar Barndance 35X. This is a close knit family where beef is their business. They have gained an international reputation for their red and black cattle that have been marketed around the world. They also managed to get the fall work done before leaving their Bashaw farm. “The fall opened up, we got the hay up and we were ready,” said a jubilant Dawn after the show. “This is our life and our passion. We make time for the cattle.” They rely on a network of family and friends to stand so tall. “It takes a village,” she said. Besides the honour and recognition of the Alberta Supreme, the family also received the keys to two 2011 Dodge Ram trucks.

MANITOBA BEEF PRODUCERS | CHECK-OFF FEE

Man. cattle processing expansion fund nixed Two dollar checkoff eliminated | Some say it will jeopardize plan for a federally inspected cattle slaughter plant BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

When she stepped up to the microphone at the Manitoba Beef Producers annual meeting in Brandon Nov.5, it was evident that Gaylene Dutchyshen was irritated and disappointed. In a wavering voice, Dutchyshen, a cattle producer from Gilbert Plains, Man., said she couldn’t believe that 24 Manitoba farmers could shoot down an opportunity to build the province’s cattle industry.

The move would also slam the door on a federally inspected cattle slaughter plant in Winnipeg, she said. Just moments before Dutchyshen spoke, members of the Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) voted to eliminate the $2 check-off fee that s u p p o r t s t h e Ma n i t o b a Cat t l e Enhancement Council (MCEC), an agency created in 2006 to expand cattle processing in the province. MBP members voted 24-21 to terminate the $2 MCEC check off, after a 30 minute, emotionally charged debate.

Don Winnicky, a MBP board member and producer from southeastern Manitoba, was the first to speak on the resolution. For him, it’s a matter of results. “I’m tired of paying this $2 tax on my cows and there’s absolutely nothing to show for it in Winnipeg.” In 2009, MCEC announced plans to retrofit a Maple Leaf Foods hog plant in Winnipeg and build Keystone Processors, a 500 head per day cattle slaughter plant that would target the emerging market for halal and kosher beef.

MCEC invested $7.5 million in Keystone Processors and construction of the $30 million plant was scheduled access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

to begin this year. But those plans were derailed when the federal government pulled a $10 million loan to the project this summer. Despite the hiccup, MCEC reps have said the project will go forward because they have secured an $18 million loan from RBC Royal Bank. They need another investor to replace the federal government funding. Dutchyshen, a MCEC director, said 60 to 70 percent of producers participate in the voluntary checkoff that supports the council. In other words, MCEC opponents don’t represent the majority of cattle farmers in Manitoba. A l t h o u g h t h e c o u n c i l ha s n ’ t achieved its goal of building a plant in Winnipeg, Chuck Gall, from Moosehorn, Man., said a great deal of time has been invested in Keystone Processors and the project requires a final push. “From Moosehorn, to send a fat animal to High River, Alta., costs 100 bucks. I need that 100 bucks. You need that 100 bucks. I don’t think anyone in this room would say we don’t need a federally inspected slaughter plant in Manitoba,” said Gall, who is also a MCEC director. A number of producers who spoke in Brandon said the resolution was unnecessary because the MCEC check off is voluntary. If cattle farmers don’t believe that Keystone Processors will ever be constructed and don’t support the mandate of MCEC, they can hold back their $2 contribution, said Joe Bouchard, who farms near Fisher Branch, Man. “ P ro d u c e r s h av e a c h o i c e… . Nobody is holding a gun to anybody’s head to put money into this.” That argument failed to sway MCEC opponents at the annual meeting, who repeatedly expressed frustration at the council’s failure to deliver on its promise. “We (producers) have asked for slaughter capacity in this province and we have not seen those results,” said Jay Fox, MBP past-president, who suggested another way to decide MCEC’s fate. “Our minister of agriculture is a huge fan of referendums. So if there is truly 70 percent (support for MCEC), let’s put it to a vote.” After the back and forth arguments, MCEC opponents won the day by a narrow margin. The Manitoba Beef Producers’ board will now lobby the government to eliminate the checkoff. Nonetheless, Bouchard of Fisher Branch, isn’t convinced that the resolution is meaningful. “If this (resolution) passes, does anyone really think the government is going to get rid of the council?”

HOGS | PRODUCTION TRIALS

RESEARCH | CATTLE, HOGS

AI technique lowers cost, ups production

Genome mapping to boost hog, beef production

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN FREELANCE WRITER

RED DEER — Artificial insemination techniques using fewer and lower doses can mean a significant reduction in costs for hog farms whose managers are up to the task, says the veterinarian in charge of health programs at F. Ménard in Quebec. F. Ménard is an integrated pork operation including 25,000 sows on 26 farms, producing 900,000 kilograms of hogs per year. The company’s goal for its sows is to produce 2,565 kg of pork from each one every year at a rate of 11.5 pigs weaned per litter, Julie Ménard told producers gathered in Red Deer for the annual Swine Technology Workshop. A key element in her scheme for getting the best production at minimum cost is to cut back on the number of times each sow is bred and the amount of semen used per breeding, which then means only the best boars are used in the program, said Ménard. Based on a series of successful trials that had been performed in Spain, Ménard has gradually introduced her farms to a technique in which the semen is injected past the cervix and into the horns of the uterus, meaning a lower dose is needed. Correct timing of the insemination and correct insertion of the catheter are crucial factors in the process, Ménard told producers. That means the person responsible for breeding the sows has to be an excellent technician with a passion for the job, she said. The biggest factor in the success of post-cervical artificial insemination (PC-AI) rests with the capabilities of the person responsible for breeding the sows, said Ménard. “The manager doing the mating, the manager doing the heat detection must be the best guy on your farm,” she said. Noting that PC-AI is used only on sows that have already had their first litter, she said the breeder must accurately anticipate the start of the heat cycle and must then be able to determine the optimum time at which each animal should be bred. Getting it right can significantly reduce costs of the breeding operation in a number of ways, said Ménard. There is a significant reduction in labour because the semen does not have to be warmed and breeding takes half the time of the standard technique. Reducing the amount of semen needed means the farm can be much more selective in which males go into the breeding program, with a resulting improvement on the overall performance of the herd, she said. The cost per dose is not relevant, because F. Ménard collects from its own boars, said Ménard. More important are factors including the best birth rates, growth rates and feed efficiency along with the savings in labour and the ability to select the genetics that will help achieve those goals, she said. “I really see it more on production as a whole.” access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Seeking best genes | Mapping genomes will allow researchers to target diseases and improve animal traits BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Two genomics projects will soon allow beef and hog producers to know which animals are more feed efficient and less susceptible to money-sapping diseases. Successful mapping of the pig and cattle genomes now makes it possible for scientists to search genes for feed efficiency and disease susceptibility, says Genome Alberta president David Bailey. “This is really game changing technology,” he said after announcing $20

million in funding for the projects. Scientists can use DNA samples submitted by livestock breeders to identify animals that have less chance of being sick, and more chance of gaining faster. “Now you can say these animals have these genes and we know these animals will be more efficient in its feed consumption and that trait is heritable,” said Bailey. “If you start to reduce the cost of production by saying these hogs are more efficient than others, we’ve already made big savings.” Graham Plaistow from the University of Alberta, John Harding from the

University of Saskatchewan and Bob Kemp from PigGen Canada will lead the $12.4 million research project in hogs. Researchers will look at a host of diseases and heritable factors but will concentrate on trying to reduce the impact of two of the most common diseases in commercial pig production: porcine circovirus associated disease and porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome. Stephen Miller of the University of Guelph and former Alberta researcher Stephen Moore, now director of the Centre for Animal Science at the University of Queensland, will lead

the $8.2 million beef project. Their projects will target traits that are difficult to improve through conventional means and study the potential market barriers for adoption of these genomic technologies. Bailey said the project proposals have been in the works for four years. It was important Canada-led genomics research to help make Canadian livestock producers more competitive, he added. “We want to know what makes an animal grow faster, what animals more fertile than others,” he said. “There are many, many traits they’re looking at.” access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

BRD PROTECTION… IT’S NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

Different cattle have different BRD challenges and require different levels of protection. Most are not in the extreme high risk category – a category that includes lightweight commingled feedlot calves for instance – so why pay more for extreme protection? Treat your calves on arrival with a product that gets to work right away and remains active in the lungs1.

ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

eterinarians are often asked to perform autopsies on sudden deaths, in which a healthy mature animal with no previous history of illness suddenly dies. This often baffles the producer as well as the veterinarian. The cause could be a liver abscess. They are rare, but a carefully performed autopsy will determine if that was the cause of death. If so, changes to management might be needed. Information from postmortems in the BSE testing program shows that this problem may be more common than we thought. Veterinarians conducting autopsies of animals with abscesses may notice that the lungs seem overinflated and that there is some type of interstitial reaction, although not one typical of those seen in common respiratory conditions. The animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body condition is often excellent or perhaps too fat. Almost no struggling occurs before death. It would almost appear that the cow or bull collapsed or died in its sleep. Abscessation on the liver is another consistent finding in autopsies: usually one large abscess involving a good proportion of the liver but in some cases multiple abscesses. Carefully dissecting out the abscess can reveal a connection between the

abscess and the large blood vessels running through the liver. The largest is called the vena cava, which returns blood to the heart from the body. The abscess is like a time bomb waiting to go off. It can erode into the wall of the blood vessel as it grows, depending on its location. If it breaks through, pus flows into the blood vessel, goes to the heart and is pumped directly to the lungs. This sudden spread plugs all the small vessels in the lung, resulting in respiratory failure and sudden death. Lung tissue can be sent to a lab for confirmation. I have seen this in old and young cows, yearling bulls and older bulls insured for lots of money. Abscesses can also rupture to the outside of the liver, causing a massive peritonitis. The abscesses probably have been present since the animal was young and have gradually grown over time to the point of becoming a problem. Navel infections can cause liver abscesses in calves. Calves with a history of being treated for navel ill are seldom retained as breeding animals. Most other cases of liver abscesses result from mild to severe cases of rumenitis, or grain overload. A sudden change of diet can cause the rumen to become inflamed and bacteria seed out into the liver. The result is the start of a liver abscess. These can be seen in feedlot animals at slaughter, but seldom do they have time to grow large and break into the blood stream. They probably do happen but may be missed on an autopsy, if an autop-

sy was performed at all. If one animal has died from this condition, there might be others in the herd in varying stages of liver abscessation. They would appear healthy, even if a vet does blood counts looking for infection or checks various liver function parameters. Many livers with abscesses indicate a feeding problem or the lack of ionophores. Veterinarians can help producers analyze their feeding programs and make sure rumensin (monensin) or another ionophore is used. The change must be gradual when transitioning from roughage to a grain diet. The cost of the loss can be huge, especially on valuable breeding stock or show animals. Cattle raised on a hotter feed will have a higher incidence. Have an autopsy performed on these sudden deaths and make sure the liver is checked as well as other internal organs such as the kidneys.

LIVESTOCK MANITOBA BEEF PRODUCERS | CATTLE INSURANCE

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING | EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE

Beef group to introduce Avoiding search and rescue scenario COWBOY LOGIC bankruptcy insurance BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Manitoba Beef Producers narrowly passed a resolution at its recent annual meeting in Brandon to develop an insurance fund to protect farmers if a cattle dealer goes bankrupt. The insurance initiative came in response to the case of G & M Livestock, which shipped Canadian cattle to slaughter plants in the United States. Cattle producers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, possibly as much as $2 million, after the company filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. Several producers who lost money in the bankruptcy attended the beef producers meeting in Brandon, including Randy McIntyre of Strathclair, Man. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably too late to recover his losses, McIntyre proposed that Manitoba set up an insurance plan similar to programs in Ontario and Alberta to offset future losses if dealers, packers, auction marts or producers go bankrupt. Several producers and cattle dealers at the meeting said this type of insurance is useless because the programs in Alberta and Ontario are ineffective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ontario and Alberta funds â&#x20AC;Ś there is a very tight window of reporting â&#x20AC;Ś to collect,â&#x20AC;? said Rick Wright, a cattle buyer for Heartland Order Buying in Virden, Man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of money in the funds and very few payoutsâ&#x20AC;Ś. If you use Alberta and Ontario as your baselines to go against, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtually impossible to get any money.â&#x20AC;? Wright said he sympathizes with producers who lose money when a cattle dealer goes bankrupt, but farmers have to realize they are taking a risk when they do business with unfamiliar buyers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one deserves to be cheated out of the money â&#x20AC;Ś but if you deal with reputable people that you know and have done business with in the past, your risk is going to be minimal.â&#x20AC;? Jim Wideman, who administers the Beef Cattle Financial Protection Program in Ontario, said Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment of the Ontario insurance plan is inaccurate. The program has paid out $8 million over the last 20 years to Ontario cattle producers who lost money when a buyer went bankrupt, said Wideman, who works for the Ontario agriculture ministry. He also said the program isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complex and has only three basic rules: report non-payment, report 30 days from the time of sale and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell another shipment of cattle to the buyer if there hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been payment for the first shipment. Producers will receive 95 percent of the value of the sale if they follow those guidelines, said Paul Sharpe, a cattle producer from Guelph, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If producers follow the rules, they will be paid, but some people just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow the rules,â&#x20AC;? said Sharpe, an adjudicator for the program. He said most producers in Ontario are satisfied with the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good program? Definitely,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid some relatively large access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

claims over the last couple of years to producers. A producer might put a couple of hundred bucks into it and he (might) pull $30,000 back out of it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheap insurance.â&#x20AC;? The program is inexpensive because the mandatory checkoff is only five cents per animal sold in Ontario. He said the checkoff has been reduced over the years because the fund, now at $7 million, has grown large enough to cover significant losses. Michael Buchen, feeder and feedlot specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, said an insurance program and other measures to police livestock dealers could be avoided if producers sold cattle to reputable buyers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might start an insurance program, but the LMA (Manitoba Livestock Marketing Association) isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t behind it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no guarantees out thereâ&#x20AC;Ś. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the LMA and most of the people involved in the cattle business arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involved with (supporting) the 12 guys (producers) who wanted that changed because those 12 guys lost money.â&#x20AC;?

think the key to having a few spare parts around the shop for the next breakdown is remembering where you put them. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise to the tidy operators who have the store quality parts bins in their shop all labelled, cross referenced and organized with a Dewey decimal system card catalogue. I have a few cupboards and plastic drawers. I even taped labels on some. Of course, I have to remember when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a change to the contents but not to the label. Like the cupboard that says â&#x20AC;&#x153;1/2 inch drill,â&#x20AC;? but when the drill burned out I converted the space to PVC pipe fittings. I just need to remember pipe fittings are filed under â&#x20AC;&#x153;1/2 inch drill.â&#x20AC;? Then there are all the little plastic drawers that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t labelled, but I can usually remember what I put where.

This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help anyone else find stuff for me. Sometimes it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even help me because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve nearly worn out the drawers by sliding every one of them open to find what I want. I took a chance and bought a couple extra things at the implement dealer a week or two ago. I got a set of splice pins for the baler belts to start the season off next year and a half inch drive ratchet that I needed. Havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen them since I bought them. They may have never made it to the shop to be put in the wrong drawer or hidden behind the wrong label, or no label whatsoever. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible they got kicked under the seat of the pickup, but that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be easy to find there either. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the calendar cartoon I saw once where the cowboyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickup got in a wreck and rolled a time or two with everything from wrenches to gloves to bull catalogues scattered hither and yon. The cowboy looks at the scene and figures his pickup will still run all right but he has no idea how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get everything stuffed back under the seat. I got the same kind of seats in my pickup. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve passed this poor memory for locating things onto my children. I had the kids out with me

the other day while I was doing a little work in the pasture. They were playing in some trees when my five-yearold boy got all distraught about losing his cap. I walked over and dedicated a fair bit of time to try and find the missing headgear. We retraced his steps. This is where we were playing in the trees, he said. This dead wood is where we broke off some branches to play with. This is where we walked to throw these dead branches into the water hole. So we walked and looked and stared at the ground and looked some more. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finding anything. Then I thought about this a little bit. This kid is five, he shares the same genes I do, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot of things on his little mind. I had a revelation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you leave your cap on the seat in the pickup before you came out here?â&#x20AC;? I asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, I did,â&#x20AC;? he said, and smiled. Lucky he smiled or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have been really mad. At least we finally found the cap. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still looking for the new ratchet and the baler belt pins.

LIVESTOCK SASKATOON FALL FAIR | COMPETING

Family debuts in show ring BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Kelly Holmstrom from Sylvania, Sask., won reserve junior champion with her Red Angus yearling heifer.

Jenna Schmidt of Watrous, Sask., leads her heifer calf out of the show ring during the Junior Classic.

This was the year the Berting family jumped the fence. After years of watching from the stands as spectators, the family from Middle Lake, Sask., arrived eager and ready to compete at the Saskatoon Fall Fair, held Nov. 9-12. Garry and Donna Berting and their four children started preparing for the show weeks ago. “For the most part, we’ve been showing in 4-H, but now we want to get into the purebred showing. This is a nice show to start at because it’s not so big. You don’t get lost in all the action,” said Garry. “We felt the kids were big enough and they wanted to help and contribute. The more experience they get, the better they get at doing it. It’s just like anything else.” Cost and close proximity to the fair were also major considerations. “The show’s convenient for us. It’s only a little bit over an hour for us to come into the city and we thought it would be a good experience for our kids,” said Donna. “They’re really pitching in and doing a good job and working hard. I think they’re enjoying themselves.” The Bertings entered most of the classes over the four day event, showing four Speckle Park and five Black Angus. They have a small mixed farm operation with 70 calving cows in both breeds and are relative beginners with Speckle Park. “We’ve only had them since late 2009, so we’re somewhat new to the breed. We’ve been really enjoying them so far,” Garry said. The Bertings were the lone entries with Speckle Park at this year’s fair. Speckle Park are a Canadian homegrown success story, first introduced in the North Battleford, Sask., area. The breed’s unique Canadian pedigree attracted the Bertings along with the animal’s vibrant hide colour. “It makes them stand out,” Garry said. Speckle Park were also a good fit for the family because they value easy keeping. “We cull heavy for temperament in our herd. That’s why we chose these cattle,” said Garry. Added Donna: “We want something our kids are capable of handling.” Three of their four children attended the fair: daughter Grayson, 14, and 13-year-old twin sons, Ryker and Huxley. Braxton, 16, stayed home to attend to farm chores and school. Huxley said he’s not missing math lessons but wasn’t looking forward to getting up at 4 a.m. to wash and clip the animals for the 9 a.m. showing. Grayson said she enjoys the fair but brought homework with her. The mood in the barns was considerably more upbeat this year than in past years, said Brenda Sapergia, livestock manager for Prairieland Park. Purebred and junior class numbers remained the same while commercial numbers doubled over last year with more than 160 entries. “Last year cattle prices were way, way down and this year they’re back up to reasonable,” she said. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

FARMFAIR | HEREFORD SHOW

Farmfair win excites Hereford breeders The champion bull took reserve champion in Denver BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — Spending $6,000 on a four-month-old calf was a gamble for Mick and Deb Trefiak that has paid them back many fold. Owned in partnership with Grant Hirsche of High River, Alta., the yearling bull named GH Adams Nitro Design ET 377X was grand champion at this year’s Western National Hereford show at Farmfair in Edmonton Nov. 5-13. What makes this youngster significant is Hirsche showed it a few months after the sale at the 2011 National Western Stock Show in Denver, where it scored the unusual victory of winning reserve grand champion, a positive feat for a young, unproven animal from Canada. “We were pretty excited and pretty surprised,” said Mick, who ranches near Edgerton in east central Alberta. The next stop for the bull, which spent the summer breeding cows, is Western Canadian Agribition in Regina and then probably back to Denver in January. It may also appear at the World Hereford Conference planned for Olds next July. The Trefiak family relies on the cattle business to make a living. They keep a cow herd of 400 Hereford and Angus cattle and hold a private production sale each year, where they market 150 bulls from both breeds. “Our business is selling bulls and keeping the people happy who buy them,” he said. His father, Mike Trefiak, got into the Hereford business more than 60 years ago, and Mick and Deb bought cows from that herd to start MTJ Herefords when they married. “He is the reason we have pretty decent cattle,” said Mick. They added Angus about 20 years ago to offer customers more choice. The Trefiaks live in a dry region and need cattle that can survive drought conditions. Many of their customers have large herds of more than 500 cows so they need bulls that can work and survive in rough conditions across Western Canada. “They have to be hardy because we don’t know where they are going to go,” he said. With two adult children and three grandsons, the couple watches the next generation and hope son Kurt, who is an engineer, and daughter

Kristi, a wedding planner, move closer to home so they can help and raise their families in a rural setting. The Trefiaks are outstanding young farmer alumni, having won the award in 1991. They are still active and are always looking for potential nominees to keep agriculture youthful. “There are lots of farmers here who deserve to be in the program,” he said. “Cattle prices and grain prices are going up, so I think that may make a few young fellas come home.”

FORREST, Man. — With his body at 30 degrees from vertical, Dan Mazier leaned and pushed a rotating auger into the ground as he and two others drilled an anchor into the soil. Mazier’s exertion wasn’t part of a construction project. Instead, they were drilling the anchor into the soil so that they could take down a 60 metre meteorological tower, which has stood 10 kilometres north of Brandon for more than two years. Mazier and others erected the tower in 2009 to measure the frequency and strength of wind at the site so that they could evaluate its suitability for a wind turbine. Gathering the data was one of the first steps toward a wind initiative in the area known as the Elton Energy Co-operative. Mazier, who farms in the Rural Municipality of Elton and leads the co-operative, said the goal is to build a $7 million three megawatt wind project, which will be managed and controlled by local residents. “A community power project is community owned,” Mazier said while taking a break from the tower deconstruction. Power generated from turbines at the site would be sold to Manitoba Hydro, the province’s crown utility, and profits would remain in the community, he said. Wind data from the site indicates that it is a “good but not great” location for energy generation, Mazier said, but the frequency and strength of the wind is typical for the Great Plains. The co-operative must now find local investors and shareholders and hire a project manager to buy the propellers and the other materials needed to build two turbines. Mazier said it’s possible Elton Energy might build just one turbine, but either way the goal is to generate three MW of power. Financing the project might prove challenging, but a larger obstacle may be the Manitoba government and Manitoba Hydro, which is in the business of generating and selling

power from hydroelectric dams. “The reality is that Manitoba Hydro isn’t looking for any extra power,” Mazier said. Nonetheless, he remains hopeful the province will eventually support projects such as Elton Energy. In 2005, the Manitoba government announced plans to develop 1,000 MW of wind power, with 50 MW allocated to community wind projects. “We’ve had different government officials and different Hydro officials say, ‘yeah, let’s explore this community power,’ ” he said. Brian Murphy, Alberta policy manager for the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CANWEA), said rural and community owned energy projects are more likely to succeed when specific rules and regulations are in place. “There are no specific programs that would support this sort of initiative in Manitoba right now,” he said. In 2009, Ontario passed legislation creating a feed-in tariff system for renewable energy, in which power generated from wind, biogas, solar and other projects are paid at a higher rate than power that comes from coal and nuclear generating stations. As well, Nova Scotia unveiled a feed-in tariff system this summer for small and community power generation. The province set a price of 45.2 cents per kWh for small wind projects less than 50 kW. Community wind projects larger than 50 kW will be paid 13.9 cents per kWh. “At CANWEA, we would encourage Manitoba Hydro and the Manitoba government to look at something along the lines of Nova Scotia … which would allow these small and community wind power initiatives to come on to the system,” Murphy said.

FUEL | PRAIRIE DELIVERY

Viterra delves into fuel service Commercial, farm fuel | The company will deliver Esso fuel to prairie farmers BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Viterra is getting into the commercial and farm fuel market in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The company will acquire 24 of Imperial Oil’s secondary fuel storage terminals on the Prairies and will deliver bulk Esso fuel to farmers, said Doug Wonnacott, Viterra’s chief operating officer for agri-products. “It’s a long term supply agreement,” he said. Viterra will also provide fuel to Imperial Oil commercial customers

within these service areas. “This deal does not take effect until Dec. 1,” Wonnacott said. “There will be an integration period that runs from Dec.1 to Feb. 28 and through that integration period … we are going to start from the east and we are going to move west.” Notification of service change He said customers will get a letter providing information when Viterra takes over a site. The company will hire 100 people to staff the terminals, he added.

“The reason that we are interested in the business … is that it capitalizes on our strong relationship with farmers. We can offer them what we think is a more competitive package with our financing.” Farmers will be able to use the line of credit usually offered for crop input expenses to buy fuel. The agreement will expand Viterra’s network of full-service agribusiness outlets in Western Canada. The company was previously involved only in grain handling and marketing, agri-products and processing. access=subscriber section=news,none,none section=ag_finance,none,none

BANKRUPTCY | MF GLOBAL

Brokerage lets employees go NEW YORK/CHICAGO (Reuters) — MF Global fired all 1,066 of its brokerage employees Nov. 11, triggering resentment about the firm’s collapse after bad bets on European debt under former chief executive officer Jon Corzine’s leadership. How the abrupt, final blow was delivered upset many staff, with some learning by e-mail and others through news on the television. “Fifteen years and no severance,” shouted one angr y MF Global employee as he left the firm’s offices in Manhattan after hugging the receptionist and doorman. The trustee in charge of liquidating the brokerage said in a statement that the workers were let go immediately, though they will be paid through Nov. 15 and up to 200 will be rehired to help with the wind-down. The firings come as the trustee, James Giddens, works to identify and locate the brokerage’s assets, including $600 million in missing customer money that has frustrated and confused commodity market traders. MF Global’s main U.S. exchange regulator, CME Group Inc., said it will provide a $300 million guarantee to prod the trustee into releasing frozen customer funds. CME tapped a slush fund for about $50 million to help offset losses to futures traders stemming from the failure.

ALBERTA WOMEN’S INSTITUTE | NEW PRESIDENT

AWI leader eager to increase ag education Nutrition and health | Brenda Willsie wants to start a program to teach children and urbanites how food is produced BY SUSAN HODGES FREELANCE WRITER

Belonging to the Alberta Women’s Institute is not just an enjoyable pastime for newly appointed AWI president Brenda Willsie. It’s part of the heritage passed down by the women of her family. Willsie, raised on a cattle ranch near Bowden, Alta., was born into a long line of cattle ranchers, and from those early Alberta roots sprang a long line of AWI members. “My great-grandparents homesteaded west of Bowden in 1906. They came west by train when Alberta was being settled. Two of my greatgrandmothers were involved in the AWI and then my grandmother became involved and then my mother. It is very much a family tradition,” she said. “The AWI was the only means of education for rural women in the 1900s. As well, it provided an opportunity for networking with neighbours. It was started for both social and educational issues.” The first AWI branch was organized at Lea Park, Alta., in 1909 by Martha Graham, who had emigrated to

Alberta from Ontario where the women’s institutes began in 1897. Willsie said the goals of the AWI have not changed much. The primary focus continues to be on providing support and educational opportunities for rural women. However, AWI has also made its mark across Canada as members lobbied government for change. “We lobbied the government on several issues, including the implementation of flashing warning lights on school buses, markings (centre lines) on highways and rural telephone systems,” she said. “We still have our resolution program intact and we still lobby the government for things.” Willsie joined in 1986 when she was fresh out of college. “I liked the competitive edge to enter my sewing, quilting and handcrafts. Since joining, I have also learned many new things as well as I have improved the things I was doing. Each year in my own area, we have a handicraft competition and our work is all judged and adjudicated. You learn from the comments you get about your work, plus we still have our provincial handicraft com-

BRENDA WILLSIE AWI PRESIDENT

petition at our annual convention.” Networking was another attraction for Willsie. “We do have a few urban women, but the majority is rural women in smaller towns. There isn’t much in centres such as Calgary or Edmonton, but there is in smaller centres such as Vermilion, Alta., where there are three groups in that area,” she said. “With the gas and oil exploration and development in rural Alberta, we have gotten a lot of women who are non-agriculture women as well. Because, of course, they live in the rural communities and what is there for social networking: the women’s institute.” Willsie became AWI president in June. She wants to focus on education

during her three-year term. “I am looking forward to getting an active agriculture program going to educate our urban counterparts, teaching children where our food really comes from,” she said. “I want to get the urban women more involved, as there is a great need in both the urban and rural municipalities for nutritional and health education because we don’t only deal with agriculture.” AWI’s six education portfolios include health and home economics, education and culture, citizenship and legislation, international affairs, agriculture and Canadian industries and environment and conservation. Willsie now lives in Wetaskiwin, Alta., but she still draws on her rural roots. Her family is still closely involved in the AWI. “There is still very much a family connection in the AWI in my family. My mother works with the AWI on the federal level and my cousin, Wendy, and her mother are members in the same branch. There is also my dad’s cousin and her daughter in our branch so it is still a very strong family thing.”

RESOLUTIONS PASSED AT 2011 AWI CONVENTION • stronger penalties for convicted sex offenders • more government support for air emergency services such as STARS and other agencies that provide that type of service. • improved financial assistance for diabetics for supplies and medications. Willsie said the notion that the AWI is for older women couldn’t be farther from the truth. “I describe it as a women’s educational group for women of all ages and we also provide a great deal of social networking,” she said. “It is for everybody. Our membership ranges from age 27 to 86 and everyone’s views are considered. We are very careful to always include our younger members in the decision making as they are our future. We also have two girls club programs and have heard rumblings of two more being started. These groups are very important as they are the future of the AWI.” access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

CUBA | LAND REFORMS

Cuba sees success in reforming food production system Increasing self-sufficiency | Reforms include making more agricultural land available BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Reforms that have started to liberalize 50-year-old rules restricting farming and land ownership in Cuba are spurring a revival in the country’s food production system, say two activists. Some land formerly part of state farms has been made available to farmers, markets have been opened, farm produce prices and incomes have risen and land is switching from mono-crop sugar production for export to food needed for local consumption, they said during a visit to Ottawa. The changes have come in the past two years since 80-year-old Raul Castro replaced his ailing brother, Fidel, as the country’s president in 2008 and launched an economic reform policy. “Because of the changes, we have more land, we can produce a diversity of crops and we can earn more money,” Maranela Perez Peña said in an interview through a translator. The farmer, university professor and researcher is involved in an agricultural co-operative and is part of a 10 acre operation with her family. She was in Canada with university agricultural professor and researcher Raquel Maria Ruz Reyes on a World Food Day tour sponsored by Oxfam Canada. Oxfam is helping fund a project allowing farmers to switch from sugar production to products for local consumption. “Farmers are better off and production has increased,” said Reyes. “The average price farmers receive is better, they can grow more crops without government control and

they can sell in local markets.” She said the new government policy also includes more training for farmers. At the core of the Cuban agricultural reforms is a government decision that farmers can own land and expand their holdings by buying unused or underused land from former state farms. There is also less of an emphasis on producing sugar, tobacco and citrus for export and more encouragement for producing fruit, vegetables and meat to be sold at local farmers’ markets or to food depots. Milk remains highly regulated under the system, with all sales made to state agencies that then make it available at subsidized prices. “It is an important item for the population, so the government still buys it,” said Reyes. However, the government is paying farmers more for their milk, which has increased production. The reforms are sparking the beginnings of an agricultural renewal, said Peña. “They are providing new land to farmers and it has encouraged more people to take up farming,” she said. “We have seen more young people coming back from cities and taking up the land.” Farmers often form co-operatives, where members debate and decide collectively what production is required. However, agricultural reform is in its early stages and the country still requires food imports. As well, farmer acceptance of the new opportunities is uneven across the country. “Not everyone is organized in the co-operative system,” said Peña. “There also is the option of local farmers’ markets, but that is not everywhere.”

COLD WEATHER COOKING | STEW AND OATMEAL

Heady smell of cooking stew just the thing for cold days TEAM RESOURCES

JODIE MIROSOVSKY, BSHEc

he first snowflakes have tapped at my windows and blanketed the ground. As I look out, I see my daughter and her friends trying to catch snow on their tongues. What simple fun they are having. Watching them makes me realize how simplicity can make people truly happy. I think we should remember this observation as we enter the busy holiday season. Peace and harmony should be the focus rather than spending money and running ourselves ragged to prepare an elaborate celebration. Is that not the reason for the season? This year, let’s plan to enjoy our families and friends by spending time together. Whether it is over a table filled with good food, gathered for a games night or out for a crisp evening stroll together among the lights, just do what makes you happy.

Oats are a great way to start the day, but it doesn’t have to be just oatmeal. Apple breakfast cookies and cranberry oat banana loaf also make good snacks. | JODIE MIROSOVSKY PHOTO 1 10 oz can mushroom soup 2 tbsp. white wine

SLOW COOKER WINTER STEW Your home will smell wonderful when you come in after a busy day to this dish cooking. Cut and peel the vegetables the night before and throw the ingredients together in the morning before you leave. And what a great way to use the root vegetables from the garden. Serve with fresh sliced bread and pickled beets. Follow this with fresh fruit such as grapes, sliced melon or strawberries and a chunk of chocolate.

Place meat in the slow cooker. In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper, seasoning salt, paprika and cayenne pepper. Pour the flour mixture over the meat and stir until the meat is coated. Add onion, potatoes carrots, parsnips, celery, broth, soup and wine to the meat mixture, and stir well. Cover and cook on low for eight to 10 hours or on high for four to six. Note: You can also roast this in the oven at 350 F (180 C) for approximately two hours.

OATS 2.5 to 3 lb. stewing beef 1 to 1.4 kg 1/4 c. flour 60 mL 1 tsp. salt 5 mL 1/2 tsp. pepper 2 mL 1/2 tsp seasoning salt 2 mL 1 tsp. paprika 5 mL 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper .5 mL 1 onion, chopped 1 4 potatoes, peeled,cubed 4 4 carrots, peeled, cut 4 2 parsnips, peeled, cut 2 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 1 1/2 c. chicken broth 375 mL

As the temperature drops and we wake up to dark chilling mornings and busy days ahead, I begin to crave a hot steaming bowl of oatmeal, sprinkled with brown sugar and milk. So which type of oats should you buy? Steel cut and large flake (old-fashioned) oats are your best bets because they have a low glycemic index. That means they convert to blood sugar slowly, and you will stay

full longer. Quick cooking and instant oats are also good for us but are processed more to speed the cooking process, which raises the glycemic index and decreases the staying power. I want a breakfast that sticks with me until lunch. All types of oats are whole grain, so you get a boost of soluble fibre, the kind that helps your body lower cholesterol. Oats are also a good source of B vitamins, iron and zinc. Source: lesliebeck.com. There are plenty of great options available if a warm cereal is not your thing or time is not on your side in the morning,. Whole grain oat cold cereals such as Cheerios are a good option, as is p re p a re d g ra n o l a, s u c h a s my favourite, pumpkin flax plus granola from Nature’s Path. Eating on the go? Check out the many varieties of oat granola bars. Just be sure that the label starts with oats and the sugar content is not high. In a rush, my kids have roared out of the door with a granola bar and banana or apple in hand! If you enjoy baking and have the time, try these oatmeal recipes that are sure to please.

HIP SURGERY | MORTALITY RATE

Planning care, housing for parent after hip surgery HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

My mother, who is in her mid80s, fell recently and broke her hip. She has had it repaired and is now recovering in hospital. I was wondering if you could estimate her life expectancy? I need to make

plans and decisions on such things as building an extension on our house for her or arranging for long-term care. I do not think she will be able to return to living in her own home.

There is no simple answer to this, but when considering the time and expense of a home addition, you need to know that the average life expectancy of someone with a fractured hip at this age is between four and six years. There is no significant difference for men or women. Unfortunately, it seems that new surgical techniques have done little to help matters in recent years. Stud-

ies show that the patients who fell and broke their hips had a better chance for a long life in the 1980s than they do now. Back then, most fractured hips were pinned together. These days, surgeons are more likely to do a complete hip replacement, which incurs a longer recovery and rehabilitation time. This time is often spent in nursing homes or long stay hospital units where there is a risk of bed sores and lethal infections from super bugs such as Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and C. difficile. About 50 percent of patients will not be able to walk again without assis-

tance and will probably need permanent long-term care. Good rehabilitation and physiotherapy help avoid this outcome. You also need to take into account the reason that your mother fell . Does she have any other type of medical condition that could lead to weakness and muscle wasting or poor balance? Chronic neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease or undiagnosed small strokes are often to blame. Her state of health prior to the accident is an important predictor of her future mortality. The greatest risk of death occurs in the first year after the

event, and the longer she lasts after that, the greater her life expectancy will be. The best way to prevent hip fractures due to osteoporosis is hormone replacement therapy. However, there are associated risks in older women that need to be taken into consideration. Exercise and a calcium rich diet are also recommended. Biphosphonate drugs such as Fosemide may help prevent fractures, but in the long run, they have not been shown to have any significant effect on life expectancy.

ON THE FARM | SURVIVING THE FLOOD

Flood takes toll on Manitoba ranching family Moved from Alberta | Couple grew up in the country and looked for a way to farm for a living BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

“Tom, there’s the goat,” exclaimed Michelle with a burst of unexpected happiness as she and her husband showed a visitor her farm’s floodravaged yard and adjoining reedcovered pasture. “I hadn’t expected to see that one again.” A couple of hundred metres away, a white goat picked its way through the wild growth and new brush that occupies what was once productive land for cows. The goat is just one of the many things lost by the Teichroeb family in this spring’s massive flooding of Lake Manitoba. Unlike most of the losses, the goat was able to survive during the deluge and walk its way back to the farm months later. As four-year-old daughter Regan skips down the road between patches of flooded pasture, the child’s carefree exhibitions might give people the sense that this year’s losses are left behind in the past. But Michelle said she knows the floods continue to haunt the minds of the children. “This morning when Regan heard a visitor was coming, she asked: ‘Is he coming to talk about the water?’ ” said Michelle. Their seven-year-old, Madison, also hit them with a statement recently that gave the couple a tough time explaining why they choose to live on a farm. “She said she wanted to live in the city because there wasn’t water everywhere,” said Michelle. “And the only place in the city where there’s water is in the swimming pool.” Tom said: “And the dike. She said in the city you could walk and play everywhere and you didn’t have a big dike in the way.” Michelle said: “That was hard for us to hear.” For the Teichroebs, living on a farm is a choice. Eleven years ago, they

were living in Alberta with Tom working in the oil patch and Michelle working as a draftsperson for an architect. However, they both grew up in the country and wanted to farm for a living, so with land so expensive in Alberta and cheap in Manitoba, they moved east in 2002. They bought a native pasture and a parcel of assorted cattle land along the shores of Lake Manitoba. It’s been good cattle country and a good place to work and raise a family, until this year. Tom has built a herd of 300 cows and backgrounds 225 yearlings. Michelle works at the local school in Langruth as a teacher’s aide, continues to work as a draftsperson for the firm in Alberta and works at local design jobs, using the internet. But this year everything went bad. The soils were saturated and Lake Manitoba’s level was high going into last winter. Tom knew the situation was bad when the wells were flowing over in February. Then the Assiniboine River began flooding upstream of Portage la Prairie in May, provoking the government to reroute huge amounts of water out of the river into the Portage Diversion and up a few kilometres north to Lake Manitoba, where the water would never normally go. The land had been draining nicely, but once the lake’s level began rising, trouble arrived. A windstorm caused lake water to slosh miles inland, with huge amounts of water inundating the cattle country that surrounds the lake. The Teichroebs’ farmyard began to resemble an island, as water flooded pastures and covered the roads. Every day, Tom would drive Michelle and the girls to town along submerged roads, with red flags on each side showing where the drop-off began. Then he’d rush home to try to do what he’d been desperately attempting: to keep his cows and calves alive and get them to safety.

Regan, Tom and Michelle Teichroeb still feel the effects of Manitoba’s spring floods. The land behind them is a grassy pasture in most years, but a reed-infested marsh this year. | ED WHITE PHOTOS

With much of the land literally under water, and the cattle on ridges and high points, getting them to dry land was imperative. Tom, with the assistance of neighbours and truckers, eventually managed to get his cow-calf pairs and yearlings to pastures scattered in a 60 kilometre radius. But it was an odyssey, filled with anxiety, fear and losses. In the first days, Tom had to trail the cows and calves 10 km across saturated ground to a safer place where they could be h e l d u n t i l n e w p a s t u re s w e re arranged. Two of the old cows got stuck in the mud and had to be shot in the field to end their suffering. The other cows were in the middle of calving, so moving them caused both the cows and the calves distress at the worst possible time. “Two-day-old calves don’t travel real well,” said Tom. “It took us a long,

long time to get there.” As days turned into weeks, the Teichroebs got accustomed to driving through water and spending a lot of time checking the cattle scattered across the region. “Madison said she didn’t want me to go away so much,” said Tom. Farmers in the area don’t know what to do now that the flood has receded. Fields that were pastures are covered with reeds that won’t be easy to replace with grass. Farmers have suffered such big losses some will have to leave farming, and others won’t be able to retire. Tom said everyone needs compensation to rehabilitate the land, cover losses and get back to business. Farmers deserve the money, because the lake was intentionally flooded by the government, but locals are skeptical that compensation will cover anywhere near the losses suffered.

FARM LIVING

I’ve never been in the self-pity boat, but I definitely am in the compensate-me-for-what-youdid-to-me boat. TOM TEICHROEB MANITOBA FARMER

“I’ve never been in the self-pity boat, but I definitely am in the compensate-me-for-what-you-did-tome boat,” said Tom. Tom’s cattle operation has taken a beating, with cows and calves suffering during calving, with slow growth, with possible problems rebreeding — and also financially, with Tom having to rent land and buy feed for animals he thought he could support.

But even though Michelle has two non-farm streams of income, they won’t use them to make up cattle losses. “I have always made a commitment that I would never, and I won’t, use any income that Michelle has off her business to supplement the cows,” said Tom. “If her income has to be linked to my business, it means it’s not viable.” Tom and Michelle said they intend to keep living on the farm and to keep involved with the cattle industry, but they don’t know if they could take another flood like this. And they hope that soon the flood fades to a memory for their girls, and what they’ll remember about the farm when they grow up is the stars at night — clearer than in the city — and the beauty of the country once the waters have sunk, the reeds are chopped down, and the dike no longer gets in the way of playing.

AGING | NEVER STOP LEARNING

Aging myths need busting SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

I will turn 60 next week. That is scary. I am afraid that it is all downhill from here, that about all that I will be able to do is sit and enjoy my grandchildren. I won’t be able to do much with them. Most of the seniors in my town hang around coffee row in the morning and don’t do much for the rest of the day. I do not want to be like that, I am far too energetic, but watching them is frightening. Can I do anything to stave off aging and continue to be active in my community?

I think that you are caught up in the mythology of aging. Many elderly people are extremely active and are certainly involved in their communities. You can find them buzzing in and out of volunteer services, lined up in the airports to fly out to visit their grandchildren and other exotic places, and playing golf on seniors’ day. Some people believe you stopped growing, maturing and learning once you finished school. That is incorrect. You may not be as quick witted as you were when you were younger, but you are still a capable student. As well, because you are not driven by those overwhelming emotions that distract young people, much of what you learn will be more relevant to the challenges that address your daily living responsibilities. What could be more exciting than for an old dog to learn new tricks? You might have heard that brain cells do not replace themselves once they have been damaged. That too is not true. Your brain is maturing and changing throughout your entire life. If you do not think that you are as smart as you once were, it is not because you have fewer neurological cells floating around up there. It is more likely because you have chosen not to challenge your intellectual abilities as much as you might have. Your sex life might change with aging, but it does not necessarily disappear. Some people choose not to continue exploring their sexuality as they get older and that is OK. Some people take medication to help them keep going when their nights are early and the lights are dim and that is OK, too. If at 60, you need a hearing aide, new glasses, cataract surgery, hip replacement or changes in your diet, then get them. The more you look after yourself, and take advantage of what medical science has to offer, the better your chances of continuing your destiny in the excitement of a morning sunrise. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none
