ican show industry has apparently grappled with more than Canadian shows. Lewis said stories coming out of steer shows in the U.S. suggest people are injecting silicone into animals or air under the hide to fill them out. The carcasses of these animals are not edible. “I do not see it happening here and I only hear about it in the U.S.,” he said. Lewis said he has fewer concerns with surface alteration such as applying talc to animals to make them appear whiter, but he said the Hereford breed’s decision to ban aerosol

sprays is a good one. It puts everyone on the same playing field. “I always say the good judges will see through that anyway,” he said. Gordon Stephenson, a former Agribition manager and president and now general manager of the Canadian Hereford Association, called last year’s incident appalling. “I thought that we were over this kind of stuff,” he said. “I think we were all as cattle exhibitors quite embarrassed and offended that this would happen.” The idea that people are “turning a blind eye” to this type of behaviour is

concerning, he added. The chair of the Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan, Mark Silzer, said the industry can’t ignore that animal welfare is an issue that is here to stay. “Most producers are responsible,” he said. “You get a couple of (incidents) and that casts an entire industry in a bad light.” The incident prompted the Canadian Charolais Association to post updated show rules regarding ethical treatment of animals on its website.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN | WTO RULING

Canada wins COOL challenge against U.S. BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

AIRDRIE, Alta. — The World Trade Organization has ruled in favour of Canada and Mexico in their complaint against the U.S. mandatory country-of-origin labelling legislation. However, it is just the first step in getting the rule changed.

“While winning this case as soundly as we have is extremely gratifying, it is only a means to an end and not an end in itself,” said Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Travis Toews. Added agriculture minister Gerry Ritz: “While our work does not end here, it is a very vital step in the road to recovery.” The trade panel was unanimous in

its decision, which was released in Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 18. The ruling supports Canada’s position that parts of the labelling law discriminate against cattle and hogs imported into the United States from Canada to the detriment of Canadian producers. The CCA and the Canadian Pork Council argued COOL increased costs for U.S. companies that import

Canadian animals and reduced the competiveness of Canadian livestock in the U.S. market. The WTO confirmed that COOL has had this effect. The U.S. has 60 days to appeal the ruling, although negotiations to change the rule are possible. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

Cattle industr y officials were expecting to see more unofficial policing in the barns at Canadian Western Agribition this week following the death of a cow last year. Show chief executive officer Marty Seymour said anyone who sees misconduct should report it, particularly as it relates to animal welfare. Last year, a two-year-old Charolais cow died during the breed show after a tube was placed in its throat and it was pumped full of soda pop to make it appear fuller and improve its odds in the ring. Agribition officials said the autopsy was inconclusive as to cause of death, but there was enough information available from witnesses to ban the owners of the cow for three years. The incident is an example of what some exhibitors think they need to do to win, said Alberta veterinarian Roy Lewis, who serves as the show vet at Edmonton’s Farmfair. But breeders who bring good animals to town can win without such tactics, he said, and fitters can’t likely do enough at a show to make a mediocre animal a winner. “Everybody felt bad for the animal and bad for the breed and (it created) just a tarnished image on the whole showing thing,” Lewis said in an interview. “The good that came out of that is an increased awareness.” Altering an animal’s appearance or disposition was a more common practice years ago and one the Amer-

Agribition monitors animals Agribition has also highlighted its animal welfare policy on its site. Stephenson said he expected most breeds would emphasize in their rules that this type of animal abuse will not be tolerated. Agribition supports the national code of show ring ethics developed by the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, which calls for honesty and good sportsmanship and states any violation of the code will result in immediate expulsion of an exhibitor and additional disciplinary action. The code deems unethical fitting to be: surgical insertion or injection of foreign material under the skin and/or into the flesh of an animal to change its natural contour, conformation or appearance; balancing an udder artificially; using dyes, spray paint or other artificial colouring; and, adding hair or hair substitutes to any part of an animal’s body. Blood, tissue and urine samples may be obtained by Agribition to determine if an alteration has been made. “Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada,” states the code. The Charolais guidelines define unethical practices to include “any

treatment or operation materially altering the structure of the natural conformation of any part of the animal’s body such as the introduction of air, liquids, or other substances subcutaneously in any part of the body.” Seymour said Agribition’s policy hasn’t changed since last year because it was always in place. “We have zero tolerance for mistreatment,” he said. “We dealt with it.” Both Lewis and Stephenson added that rules can be made but enforcing them is another thing. “You can’t make rules to avoid stupidity,” Stephenson said. “In my opinion what happened last year was stupidity on behalf of the people that were looking after that animal.” Lewis said people have been talking about the incident since it happened and those who witnessed it may b e w atc h i n g oth e r s m o re closely. “I think surveillance would be good,” he said of measures livestock shows could take. “And I think you’re going to get policing by fellow breeders.” Seymour added that Agribition barn bosses are watching what goes on. “But anybody from a director to an employee who sees any misconduct … we’re all policing each other,” he said.

CWB | ENDING THE SINGLE DESK

Conservatives fatten contingency fund Motives questioned | Opposition fears extra money will be used to fund voluntary CWB BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A government decision to more than triple the amount of money allowed in the Canadian Wheat Board’s contingenc y fund has opened another front in the CWB war. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz issued a directive in mid-November that all CWB profits from non-pool market transactions, including hedging, producer payment options and currency transactions, must go into the contingency fund that will be available for the voluntary successor to the single desk CWB. He raised the maximum first to $100 million from $60 million, following a CWB request for a $90 million cap, and then to $200 million. There was immediate controversy over how the future governmentappointed board of directors can use the fund, whether it will become a way to pay for CWB wind-up costs and whether the money should go into pool accounts. Ritz insisted in Parliament Nov. 17 it is money that would not traditionally go into pool accounts and the government is being prudent to give the CWB successor a capital base. “As a government, we took this prudent measure to protect the future of western Canadian farmers, Canadi-

an taxpayers and, of course, the new voluntary wheat board,” he said. Then he added a partisan twist, arguing that if the money went into the pool accounts, it would simply become more cash for board chair Allen Oberg and other pro-monopoly directors to use in their fight against government plans to change the CWB. “We want to ensure that Mr. Oberg’s sticky little fingers stay out of that, as they have been dipping into the pool accounts of farmers, spending tens of millions of dollars buying ships, spending like drunken sailors,” he said in the Commons. Opposition critics replied that the government is building the contingency fund as a way to pay for Ritz’s obsession to kill the CWB. “When did the government get into highway robbery and when will the minister do the right thing and give farmers back their hard-earned money?” said Liberal Frank Valeriote. New Democrat Malcolm Allen called it a $200 million “grain tax” that the government has no right to collect. “Not only is the government hauling out the single desk, it is picking farmers’ pockets in the process,” he said. “This is farmers’ money, not the government’s.” Behind the heated arguments is a complicated story with two distinctly

different versions of the truth, depending on the teller of the tale. Liberal Ralph Goodale, whose 1998 amendments to the CWB Act created the contingency fund, said when he was CWB minister, the board of directors would decide what revenues to divert to the fund. Now, the minister is directing the allocation. “It sounds like they are taking money that was earned on producer pricing contracts and on some of the options and instead of distributing it back to producers, they’re putting it in the contingency fund, which begs the question, ‘what the hell for?’ ” he said in an interview. “This money was raised selling grain and apart from administrative deductions that are authorized according to law, the money should go back to farmers.” Oberg agreed with that interpretation. He said until the directive from Ritz, directors always had been in charge of deciding how much to put into the fund. “The original intent of the fund was t o b a c k s t o p p ro d u c e r p r i c i n g options, but it appears the minister has a different idea as to what this fund might be used for,” he said. “O ne of the things the board believes is that we’d like to reimburse farmers for the money they have paid

and will pay on purchase of the lakers because that’s an asset they will no longer own or receive any benefit from, but this directive prohibits the board from doing that.” Oberg said he suspects the fund will be used to offset wind up costs. Greg Meredith, Agriculture Canada assistant deputy minister, has a distinctly different view of the fund and its history. He said non-pool earnings always have gone automatically to the fund, so it is not taking money farmers should have in the pool accounts. He said the government-appointed CWB board will make decisions about how to use the fund but the government has committed to covering wind-up costs. “Management will do what they think is best to keep that volunteer entity viable.” Meredith said the fund is meant to be a capital base for the CWB voluntary successor. “The government is trying to do everything it can to make sure a voluntary wheat board has as many legs to stand on as possible. That money never has gone to the pools.” The size of the fund July 31, 2011, will be made public this week. It was $22 million July 31, 2010. FOR MORE ON THE POLITICAL BATTLE TO CHANGE THE CWB, SEE PAGE 14.

The appellate body in Geneva may not be able to hear the case until next spring. If there is an appeal and Canada wins, the U.S. will be given time to comply. Canada and Mexico could impose tariffs on American products if it doesn’t comply, but international trade minister Ed Fast said it is not expected to go that far. “We are confident in the long run our relationship will remain sound.” Toews said the ruling is not binding and tariffs are a last resort. The three-year-old labelling law would have to be changed in the U.S. Congress, but Toews suggests only parts of the rule need to be adjusted. “We do not seek the outright (repeal) of COOL. We only seek those regulatory and statutory changes that are necessary to eliminate the discrimination COOL has imposed to the comparative disadvantage of livestock imported into the U.S.,” he said. A possible change might state that the country of origin would be dictated by where the animal is processed. “We think the substantial transformation fix would be appropriate, but if there is another fix that removes the requirement to segregate, then we would expect that would be a sufficient solution as well,” said Toews. The law forced American processors to segregate imported livestock at the plants and keep the meat separate so it could be traced and labelled by country of origin. The costs were ultimately passed to producers.

KEY FINDINGS OF THE PANEL: • COOL violates article 2.1 of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), by giving less favourable treatment to imported livestock than domestic livestock. The COOL requirement that meat and livestock are segregated according to origin creates an incentive to purchase U.S. livestock as the least expensive route to compliance. • COOL also violates Article 2.2 of the TBT Agreement. COOL failed to fulfill the U.S. objective to provide consumer information. The panel did not consider whether there were less traderestrictive means available to fulfill that objective. • The so called “Vilsack letter” violated GATT Article X:3(a) because by setting out voluntary actions to be taken by interested parties that went beyond the Final Rule, the U.S. failed to administer its laws, regulations and decisions in a uniform, impartial, and reasonable manner. Further, the suggestions in the letter undermined the labelling requirements in the Final Rule and the language of the letter may have caused uncertainty and confusion in the industry.

SASKATCHEWAN PULSE GROWERS | BOARD STRUCTURE

WATCHING THE WHEAT FLOW

Candidates seek stronger presence in national group Representation one issue | Head office another BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Simmering tension between past leaders of a provincial pulse grower group, a high profile breeder and the national association is coming to a boil. A slate of three candidates running to fill three empty board of director positions at Saskatchewan Pulse Growers are pushing for dramatic changes at Pulse Canada. “This is the most important election we’ve had with Saskatchewan Pulse Growers,” said former chair Jim Moen. Moen, past chair Shawn Buhr and University of Saskatchewan pulse crop breeder Bert Vandenberg say it is unacceptable that SPG holds only two spots on Pulse Canada’s sevenmember board, given that SPG provides close to 70 percent of Pulse Canada’s annual core funding. Two of the remaining board positions belong to the Canadian Special Crops Association and one each to grower groups in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. “Certainly we need to be represented accordingly at the Pulse Canada board table,” said Moen. “We should have a majority at that table. That’s an appropriate model.” Moen said that if elected, he would consider withholding funding to get the changes he is seeking. Pulse Canada chair and SPG director David Nobbs said the current SPG board has no issues with the national organization. “There is no rift between Pulse Canada and Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. None whatsoever. There are a couple of individuals that have some issues and they’ve had the same issues for 10 years and they want another kick at the cat,” he said. Gordon Bacon, chief executive officer of Pulse Canada, said governance changes are already in the works. The structure will evolve so that the make-up of the board is closely linked to financial contributions. The board will be increased to nine members, with the extra two spots going to Saskatchewan. “ There has been agreement reached around the Pulse Canada table on that. It’s just the bylaws haven’t been amended yet,” he said. Bacon said the discussions started two years ago and consensus was reached in the summer, long before it became an SPG election issue. Moen, Buhr and Vandenberg also want better accountability and communication from Pulse Canada, improved relationships with provincial grower groups and more joint planning on projects. They believe that could be accomplished by moving the national organization’s headquarters to Saskatoon from Winnipeg. “We feel being closer to Pulse Can-

ada would improve all of those things,” said Moen. Nobbs doesn’t understand the complaints surrounding accountability. He spoke to a former SPG chair recently who claimed he has never seen financial statements. “That’s ludicrous. They’re done quarterly. Work plans are submitted quarterly to Saskatchewan Pulse Growers,” he said. “Comments like that have really disturbed me because they’re not true.” Bacon said Pulse Canada operates under tight controls. For instance, any contract over $50,000 requires signatures of staff and board members even when the board has already approved the project. Nobbs said there would be no value in relocating the head office to Saskatoon from Winnipeg, which is the heart of the grain trade and home to an international airport. “I’m a diehard Saskatchewan guy, but just to move something there just so it’s there doesn’t make any sense. It’s ideology,” he said. Lyle Minogue, another past chair of SPG, agreed that it is folly to uproot the families of Pulse Canada staff for no apparent reason. He also questions the need for a shake-up of the Pulse Canada board. Minogue can’t recall an occasion where a SPG representative on the board wanted something done at Pulse Canada and was voted down. “That has never happened,” he said. He suspects that “petty personal stuff” is behind the uprising against Pulse Canada. Moen acknowledged that there are some hurt feelings. He said it’s a shame that the provincial and national pulse groups don’t better use Vandenberg’s vast experience in research and market development. “He has felt excluded,” said Moen. “I don’t think Bert has been properly consulted.” Minogue said Vandenberg feels the future of the pulse industry is in marketing whole seeds and not the flours and fractions that Pulse Canada has been promoting. “The silly part is we can do both. We don’t have to pick one or the other,” Minogue said. Vandenberg has no problem with companies fractionating pulses, but he doesn’t think Pulse Canada needs to be actively promoting such valueadded activity. “Those are business functions and there’s lots of businesses out there.” Bacon said he gets his marching orders from the board, which has expressed an interest in promoting that aspect of the pulse business. Ballots for the election have been mailed to registered pulse producers. The returning officer must receive them no later that Dec. 2. Results will be announced in mid-December.

SASKATCHEWAN PULSE GROWER CANDIDATE | CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

U of S candidate: some for, some not

I don’t think that was ever the intent when they set up grower groups to have university board members on there. LYLE MINOGUE PAST SPG CHAIR

Job partly funded by SPG | Past chair asks if someone who doesn’t grow crops should be on the board A former chair and current board member of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers say there is a serious conflict of interest with one of the candidates running to fill one of three vacant positions on the board. Lyle Minogue, past chair of SPG, questions whether University of Saskatchewan pulse crop breeder Bert Vandenberg should be allowed to sit on the board of a grower group that provides his employer with $6 million in annual funding. “I don’t think that was ever the intent when they set up grower groups to have university board members on there,” Minogue said. “This would be the first time that I’m aware that a guy who doesn’t make any of his income from growing crops is running for the board.” Vandenburg said past chairs of SPG asked him to put his name forward for the election. “They thought there seems to be some problems within the organization and they thought maybe I could be helpful because I’ve got a lot of history, and problem solving is my background,” said Vandenberg. He is an eligible candidate because the university’s Crop Development Centre grows pulses and pays levy on the commercial peas it produces. Vandenberg is running as part of a slate of candidates that includes past chairs Jim Moen and Shawn Buhr who are seeking governance and other changes at Pulse Canada. He received the blessing of the university’s agriculture college before agreeing to run.

Vandenberg said his job isn’t solely funded by SPG; he receives government money as well. He plans to remove himself from any decisions to do with SPG’s research committee or research funding. “I certainly won’t be a principal investigator on any proposals that go in. That would be a conflict of interest,” he said. However, Pulse Canada chair and SPG director David Nobbs said any decision Vandenburg makes at the board will be a conflict because if he votes against a market development or policy proposal, it means there will be more money available to fund research. “Every decision that is made at the table is about money,” he said. Nobbs believes allowing Vandenberg to run for the board is akin to welcoming participation by representatives of seed technology companies or grain companies. “I just don’t think it’s in the spirit of a grower organization.” Vandenberg said the grower group should be careful how it proceeds on this issue. “Do you want to start restricting expertise on the board? Usually on a board you want to have a wide range of experience, so be careful what you wish for. You could have a very narrow point of view and eventually you get a very narrow focus.” Moen said SPG’s lawyer will draft new conflict of interest guidelines if Vandenberg is elected. He said the advantages of having the experienced pulse breeder on the board far

outweigh any disadvantages. “It’s an opportunity for pulse growers to really capitalize on his passion, innovation and knowledge,” he said. The recent resignations of executive director Garth Patterson and former chair Murray Purcell and the impending departure of two more experienced board members have left a void that needs to be filled by people like Vandenberg, said Moen. However, Minogue said electing Vandenberg would set a dangerous precedent. What’s to stop the university’s other pulse breeders from following in his footsteps? “Do we want the university running the board?” he said. Minogue thinks it is time to revise the regulations governing who is eligible to sit on the boards of grower groups, regardless of whether Vandenberg is elected.

WEATHER | NETWORK EXPANSION

Weather firm boosts prairie network Weather firm also expands lightning detection network BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

An American company that operates weather stations around the world is planning to double the size of its network in Canada. Earth Networks of Maryland has announced it will deploy 1,000 additional weather stations in Canada over the next three years. The company already collects and distributes weather data from 850 stations in Canada, located mostly on the Prairies, said Jim Anderson, Earth Networks’ vice-president of international network and business development. “This expansion will be beneficial to Canadian farmers, and will also be of interest to a variety of professionals within other industries, such as crop insurance, emergency management, electric utilities implementing smart grid solutions, provincial and municipal governments, aviation and transportation,” Anderson said in a news release. In an interview, he said Earth Networks also plans to expand its network on the Prairies. “In Saskatchewan, we’ve got about 350 weather stations right now. I’m pretty sure in the next year we’ll add another 50. And we have tentative plans for further expansion in Manitoba.” Through a partnership with the Canadian Wheat Board, Earth Networks provides weather data to prairie farmers on its weatherfarm website. The site contains information such as temperature, wind speed and dew point throughout Western Canada. Producers can use data from a station near their farm to make decisions about harvesting and gather information on disease development and growing degree days. Anderson said Earth Networks is aware of changes facing the wheat

board, but that shouldn’t affect the company’s operations in Canada. “We greatly appreciate and value the relationship we have with them. But whatever happens with the wheat board, the WeatherFarm program is going to continue.” Earth Networks focuses on agriculture, but its localized weather data also serves other customers in Western Canada. “Properly deployed weather networks that provide quality data can be used collaboratively to great advantage,” said Paul Bullock, a University of Manitoba agro-meteorology professor. “Weather intelligence… (is) valuable to Canadian agricultural interests and brings the potential benefit to other sectors as well.” Anderson said that includes government flood forecasters. “Having hyper-local, very up to date surface weather observations … can really aid in monitoring flood conditions and forecasting,” he said. “We have a number of customers in the Winnipeg area that use our data for this application.” Earth Networks is also deploying additional lightning sensors in Canada. The company operates the world’s largest detection network, with 560 sensors around the globe and a couple of dozen in Canada. Weather experts have known for years that cloud-to-cloud and incloud lightning is a key atmospheric phenomenon signaling that hail and tornadoes are on the way. However, there wasn’t a sufficient network to detect total lightning, known as cloud lightning and cloudto-ground lightning. Robert Marshall, chief executive officer of Earth Networks, told the U.S. Congress that the lightning detection network could be used to issue severe weather warnings. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

PACIFIC TRADE TALKS | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Sectors fear supply management at risk despite assurances BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government remained adamant last week that the decision to enter Pacific region trade talks is not a threat to supply management. In an unusual parliamentary focus on agriculture, the first seven questions during House of Commons question period Nov. 15 were on the issue. Opposition MPs connected the government decision to abolish the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk with the renewed threat to protected dairy, poultry and egg producers. Government leaders insisted they will defend the integrity of the Canadian system of production controls, price-setting and high border tariffs to control imports. When prime minister Stephen Harper announced Nov. 13 that

Canada wants to be part of the TransPacific Partnership trade negotiations and that supply management protections would be up for discussion, it was widely thought to be a concession Canada had to make to be allowed to join the talks. “Dairy, egg and poultry farmers are worried,” interim New Democratic Party leader Nycole Turmel said in the Commons. “They have seen the Conservatives’ contempt for their colleagues in Western Canada and the Canadian Wheat Board. What guarantees is the prime minister willing to give that the supply management system will not, under any circumstances and I mean any circumstances, be sacrificed for the sake of the Trans-Pacific Partnership?” Harper insisted that the government supports supply management while the NDP is anti-trade, even

with the United States. Turmel said the government “simply should say that supply management is off the table.” Harper brushed off the question. “This government’s position in favour of supply management is very well known by producers,” he said. “It is always our intention when we go to the table to ensure we produce, we protect and we promote the interests of all Canadian sectors, including supply management.” New Democrat Jean Rousseau said it was an example of the government refusing to listen to Quebec, where the dairy industry is strong. Sa s k at c h e w a n L i be ra l R a lp h Goodale accused the Conservatives either of lying to TPP members by saying supply management protections are negotiable or to Canadians for insisting they are not. Harper said the terms of the TPP

negotiation allow Canada to defend and promote all its sectors. “This government is always seeking to increase our international trade by promoting all our sectors in international free trade negotiations.” Goodale said it was an admission of defeat. “That answer simply means he is getting ready to slash the tariffs.” Dairy Farmers of Canada, with the most at stake, remained publicly confident that the government will protect and preserve the supply management system. “Supply management allows farmers to make a living from the marketplace in Canada,” president Wally Smith said in a statement. “The government has no desire to see our farmers have to compete against the treasuries of other countries.” National Farmers Union vice-pres-

ident Colleen Ross said dairy farmers should not trust the government because it has an agenda to remove marketing power from farmers. “For many years, the majority of farmers on the Prairies have realized that they would have to fight to save their CWB,” he wrote in an open letter. “These same farmers have appealed to Canadian farmers who operate within supply managed-orderly marketing systems to stand with them at the podium and on the streets, telling the government to keep their hands off their farmerled and farmer-controlled marketing systems.” With the Conservatives aiming to abolish the wheat board monopoly, Russ said there is now just one target left: supply management.

Grain markets to rise with growing demand Wheat lags | Other crops will see steady but slow price improvements STORIES BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANOVER, Germany — European analysts predict farmers will have a comfortable ride in the commodity markets in the next decade, despite having to navigate some rough roads with a few unexpected curves. Perez Dominguez of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development told a meeting held during the Agritechnica farm show in

Hanover last week that fears of food prices falling because of recession are unfounded because of fundamental strengths in global supply and demand. “There is increasing pressure on a limited land base, higher demands being placed on every hectare to produce more and the technology that has been improving yields is delivering smaller and smaller gains,” he said. Former Chicago grain futures ana-

lyst Lars Kechenbuck of KS Agrat in Germany said supply and demand set prices over the long haul, despite futures markets’ sometimes odd reactions to world events that bear little relation to commodity market fundamentals. “More people and a rising demand for biofuels are creating real need for more (grains and oilseeds),” he said. Carl Albrecht Bartmer, head of the farm organization that organizes Agritechnica, said markets are rising

because of improving standards of living, government biofuel policies and loss of arable land. “Seven billion people isn’t a magic number,” he said of the recent population milestone. “We have seen a steady path to a greater world population with improved buying power. As farmers, our consumer market is changing … but now we maybe need some of our trading tools and trade agreements to change as well.”

Dominguez said the OECD expects steady but moderate increases in nearly every agricultural product except wheat. “The good news for wheat producers is that wheat is already high, so declines from this point aren’t as much of an issue,” he said. Producers are turning away from wheat in favour of more profitable crops, and analysts feel this might eventually create shortages that will support wheat prices. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

CROPS | TRANSPARENCY

Price discovery, risk management need improvement: analysts HANOVER, Germany — International financial companies have made themselves comfortable in the houses of commodity trading, leaving little room for those who have to live there. The activity of big international investment firms in commodity markets has hurt the transparency of those markets, said Carl Albrecht Bartmer, head of the farm organization that organizes Agritechnica in Hanover. “Price discovery systems are not serving producers and processors as well as they should be,” he told a meeting held during Agritechnica last week. Lars Kechenbuck of KS Agrat in Mannheim, Germany, said futures markets were established to serve producers and users of raw materials, but they now provide profits for financial houses and speculative investors. “It can be good to have them there;

they provide a lot of liquidity. However, they also make (price discovery) in the shorter (term) quite difficult,” he said. “ Ten years ago, 80 percent of futures (trades) were done for the agriculture and food market. Twenty was for the finance industry.… Now it is the other way around and the majority of grain is sold outside the (exchanges). In 1998, we had 500 wheat contracts trading on the (Chicago Mercantile Exchange), now we have 30,000.” However, Kechenbuck believes these speculators have little effect on crop prices over the longer term

of a year or two. He cited the Goldman Sachs forecast last May that wheat prices were set to fall. It recommended that its clients sell positions. “Wheat fell, for a little while. But supply wasn’t there and it went back up,” he said. “In June, it got very expensive for those who took the advice and were short in that market.” Perez Dominguez of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris agreed, saying speculators don’t set price trends, but they do create extremes that can hurt the agricultural and food industry. Kechenbuck said if speculators were truly the cause of large upward price moves, like those in 2008 and 2011, then other crops that don’t trade on exchanges wouldn’t be dragged along. “Hazelnuts, you laugh, but it is a big crop. There is no hazelnut futures

Lars Kechenbuck says farmers and food processors don’t have the risk management tools needed. contract. It moves in step with wheat and soybeans.… There are many more examples,” he said. “We need some market reform, to make them more effective around the globe and provide more competition between (trading facilities).” Farmers and food processors often sit on the sidelines of their own markets because they can’t rely on them for short or medium term risk management and liquid-

ity, said Kechenbuck. Bartmer said more futures markets might be needed to create competition for American commodities contracts. “We need it to manage our risk, but it has become a tool for others to manage risks they have in (equities and bonds), so some balance is needed for agriculture,” he said. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

PULSES | EXPORT DEMAND

Pulse exporter expects resumption of demand Uncertainty deferred sales | Canadian and Australian sales of chickpeas and lentils have climbed steadily this summer â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe the liquidity issues will be short-term and there will be a resumption of regular demand,â&#x20AC;? said Al-Katib. Importers are enticed by falling lentil prices and the gradual realization that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian crop is of much better quality than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreck.

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Improved pulse crop demand is just around the corner, says one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest lentil processors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An expected return to normal buying in many regional markets, which is viewed by (us) as the start of the replenishment of longstanding depleted local market stocks, is expected to materialize in 2012,â&#x20AC;? said Alliance Grain Traders Inc. president Murad Al-Katib. There have already been signs during the first three quarters of 2011 that importers are beginning to restock their empty shelves after years of cautious buying. Al-Katib sees it in his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales figures and in export statistics around the world. Canadian lentil sales were up 187 percent in July, 224 percent in August and 55 percent in September over the same months in 2010. Australian l e nt i l a n d c h i c kp e a s a l e s a l s o climbed steadily through the summer months. He assured investment analysts during the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third quarter conference call that the strong export pattern will continue for the rest of 2011 and throughout 2012 as importers start bolstering depleted stocks.

Supply situation

Improving demand could support lentil prices in coming months, but global economic uncertainty is keeping buyers cautious. | FILE PHOTO Importers have proceeded with caution because of global economic uncertainty that is contributing to

price volatility and a lack of financial liquidity, which in turn is leading to deferred sales.

There are also supply challenges in at least one key importing region. Turkish lentil production of 400,000 tonnes in 2011 was lower than expected and 100,000 tonnes below average. Alliance anticipates acreage in Turkey will be down next year because of stiff competition from cereal grains, although production will likely remain about the same level if the country receives normal growing conditions. Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply situation is harder to get a handle on. The government says growers harvested a record 18.3 million tonnes of pulses in 2010-11. Alliance called the estimate overly optimistic but conceded there is little doubt a big crop has put a damper on sales to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest pulse market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Indian subcontinent has not really come into the fold in a big way

right now,â&#x20AC;? said Al-Katib. What happens in the new year remains to be seen. Summer or kharif 2011 pulse plantings were down compared to last year and while as of Nov. 18 winter or rabi plantings were up seven percent over the previous year, there is an important exception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting reports of potential drops of 40 percent on (lentil) plantings,â&#x20AC;? said Gaetan Bourassa, Allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer. He said Indian government buying agencies are starting to tender on chickpeas and lentils, which is a good sign that the country is back in the market. On the export side, Al-Katib rejected reports that the quality of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pulses is rapidly deteriorating because of untimely harvest rain. Allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian processing plants are in full receiving and shipping mode and there have been no red flags. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen good volume, good yield, good quality,â&#x20AC;? he said. Australian growers are expected to harvest 303,000 tonnes of lentils, just shy of the record 306,000 tonnes harvested last year, but Al-Katib doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that volume to weigh down the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australia looks great, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to change the world,â&#x20AC;? he said.

WHEAT | CONSUMPTION

Ending single desk wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change realities of wheat market MARKET WATCH

Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ARCE MCMILLAN

he rhetoric on both sides of the Canadian Wheat Board debate has become totally overblown. Extreme pro CWB advocates say that vast swaths of farmers will go out of business and Canadian consumers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to buy food with Canadian grown wheat if the

single desk goes. If the CWB was the only thing keeping your farm going it likely had no future anyway. Even without the CWB single desk, Canadian farmers will continue to produce vastly more wheat than Canadians can consume and some of it will be processed at home into bread and bakery products for Canadians. Equally fictitious are the tales of anti board advocates that ending the single desk will usher in a golden age for wheat farmers and processors with higher profits and increasing production. A fair number of farmers will likely welcome a greater flexibility in how, when and to whom they sell their

wheat but there will also likely be a fair number who preferred the single desk, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the extra marketing effort and who will be frustrated by the inevitable disruptions while the grain handling system adjusts to the new environment. But ending the single desk isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to change the realities of the world wheat market where demand growth lags that of other crops. In the 10 years between 2002-03 and 2011-12, global wheat consumption rose a paltry 13 percent. In the same period global corn consumption rose by 38 percent and oilseed consumption rose 45 percent. Is it any wonder that the canola market seems to produce better prof-

its than wheat? Corn went into the booming ethanol industry and increasing global livestock herds. Much of the increase in oilseed demand came from China, which abandoned any hope of self-sufficiency in oilseed production but tenaciously tries to maintain a policy of grain self sufficiency. Even rapid development of the South American soybean industry and the palm oil plantations of Malaysia and Indonesia were not enough to swamp the global hunger for vegetable oil and meal and biodiesel. On the other hand, the countries of the former Soviet Union â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stormed

back into wheat production, flooding the slow growing market with cheap grain. If it was not for the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating drought of 2010, and Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run of droughts earlier in the decade, wheat prices likely would not have seen the rallies of 2007-08 and 2010. What strength wheat prices have today is largely because they ride on the coattails of corn and oilseeds. That is not to say there are no opportunities in wheat. Canada has been and will continue to be a major producer and global exporter But when Conservative politicians say the sky is the limit for the western Canadian wheat industry, be aware that there is a fairly low cloud ceiling.

MARKETS

The fed steer weekly average was $114.35 per hundredweight, up $1.77, and heifers were $113.82, up $1.66. The stronger U.S. cash market and weaker Canadian dollar encouraged buying interest from the United States. Open cash offering accounted for a third of the list, and the Alberta-Saskatchewan show list volumes were the smallest since the end of March. Sale volume totalled 13,420 head, down 10 percent from the previous week. The cash-to-futures basis narrowed to -$10.18. The tight supply of market-ready cattle in Canada has driven prices beyond packers’ comfort level. They might try to slow kill and use more non-fed cattle in the mix to reduce the demand and price of fed cattle. Supply could increase a little in coming weeks as early placed yearlings are offered.

COW PRICES RISE Slaughter cow volume increased, but demand kept pace. D1, D2 cows were $60-$71 per cwt. to average $64.30, up 52 cents. D3 cows averaged $56.80, up $1. Rail grade prices were steady at $123-$128. Butcher bulls rose to average $72.68. Weekly exports to Nov. 5 rose 15 percent to 4,442 head. Special bred cow sales through December will add a little to the cow kill, but volumes should start to tighten seasonally, supporting prices.

FEEDER CATTLE LOWER Stocker and feeder prices generally eased 60 cents per cwt. Steers up to 700 pounds fell 50 cents-$1.75 while steers heavier than 700 lb. saw good demand and steady prices. Heifers lighter than 600 lb. fell $1-$2.50 and those heavier than 600 lb. were mostly steady. Good buyer interest on a tight supply of heifers heavier than 900 lb. pushed prices $1.50 higher. Feeder supply should be ample this week a n d m ig ht i n c l u d e e ar l y weaned calves. Year end tax spendaccess=subscriber section=markets,livestock,none

ing should help support the market. Bred cow volumes increased enough to establish a price trend. Bred cows at auction were $1,000$1,600 per head. Bred heifers were $1,250-$1,600. Cow-calf pair volumes are dwindling as strong stocker prices encourage splitting and selling the pair separately.

BEEF PRICE STRONGER The reduced slaughter in the U.S. last week had the desired effect, pushing beef cutouts up $5 and helping packer margins. The Montreal wholesale price for delivery this week was expected to rise $2 to $207-209. Weekly Canadian cutouts to Nov. 11 rose almost $1.50 on AAA and climbed $2.25 on AA.

U.S. CATTLE ON FEED

HOGS FALL

SHEEP STEADY

The U.S. November cattle-on-feed report pegged October placements down nearly one percent from the previous year at 2.491 million head. The extreme drought in the south has reduced cattle numbers. The total number of cattle on feed was up four percent from a year ago year at 11.924 million head. T h e nu m b e r s mat c h e d t ra d e expectations.

Ample hog supply lowered prices. Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants closed at $61 US per hundredweight Nov. 18, down from $62 Nov. 11. The cash U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $90.18 Nov. 18, down from $90.53 Nov. 11. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.36 million, up from 2.29 million the previous week.

Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 723 sheep and 272 goats sold Nov. 14. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $230-$258 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $210$240, 86-105 lb. were $188-$220 and 106 lb. and heavier were $173-$185. Wool rams were $76-$95 per cwt. Cull ewes were $70-$90 and bred ewes were $190-$250 per head. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $210-$234 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $202-$236, 86-105 lb. were $176$200 and 106 lb. and heavier were $160-$178. Hair rams were $75-$90 per cwt.

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT | PROS AND CONS

CRAIG’S VIEW

Supply management benefits worth saving

he federal government’s decision to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks has again drawn attention to supply management. In signing on to these negotiations, prime minister Stephen Harper noted that supply management would be up for discussion, but the government tried to calm the sector’s fears by pledging to defend the system. Its defense will have to be spirited in the face of strong opposition from free trade stalwarts Australia and New Zealand, which are proud that they gave up most of their agricultural protection policies years ago and are aggressive in pursuing deals that stamp them out elsewhere. Supply management, the system that controls production and prices of dairy, eggs and poultry and includes high import tariffs, also has domestic critics. They have become more vocal in recent months since the federal government began the process to end the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly. Open market purists argue that if the Harper government feels compelled to dismantle the CWB single desk, it should also address the market restrictions associated with supply management. The benefits the Conservative government says will come from an open wheat market — farmer freedom, increased value-added processing and rural development — will also result if supply management is ended, they argue. And there will be an added benefit to consumers who will enjoy cheaper dairy, poultry and eggs, they say. On the trade front, critics argue, Canada’s support of supply management in trade negotiations neuters its efforts to promote freer trade in other sectors and relegates our negotiators to the sidelines instead of being leaders. The arguments have some weight, but it can’t be denied that supply managed sectors are an island of stability in the volatile world of food production. The marketing system provides Canadians with a reliable supply of high-quality food at stable prices while providing

farmers a fair return on their investment, labour and management. Consumers barely feel the pinch. The cost of the farm products in most meals accounts for only a small portion of the price of the food. Labour, energy, transportation, packaging and promotion as well as processor, wholesaler and retailer profit make up the majority of food costs. Yet Canadians pay a smaller portion of their income on food than almost everyone else on the planet. Also, per capita consumption of dairy products in Canada is similar to that in the United States. Because these sectors get returns through the market, they do not need taxfunded support like their counterparts in other countries required in the past year when dairy prices crashed around the world. The sector’s price-setting powers give producers an adequate return, but not so generous that it prevents a constant need to improve efficiency. Indeed, Canada’s dairy genetics are prized around the world. By supporting supply management, Canada might relinquish leadership in trade negotiations but it does not stand alone. Most countries have agricultural sectors they want to protect. Supply management provides Canada many benefits at a modest cost, and it would be a shame to lose those benefits. But that is not to say it is untouchable. The need for participants to buy expensive quota is a major barrier to new entrants and creates heavy debt loads for current participants. A planned and staged-in system of renewal that lowers quota costs while respecting the investments that current participants made in good faith would help reinvigorate the sector and make it more resilient if political winds change and the government decides trade is more important than pleasing some farmers.

POLITICS | MEAN SPIRITED HOUSE

Parliamentary rancour rooted in government forcing will on weak opposition NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

innipeg New Democrat MP Pat Martin found himself in the centre of a media storm last week after he sent out a vulgarity-laced tweet from the floor of Parliament. The journalism tribe being what they are (“knee-jerk pack” comes to mind), much of the initial focus was on Martin’s use of language. Are you sorry? Will you apologize?

He said no. He’s a former construction worker and “that’s our language.” But the frenzy missed the point. He tweeted in frustration after the Conservative majority imposed time allocation on the budget bill, one of the many times in this brief session that discussion has been cut off. The “parle” in Parliament is supposed to indicate it is a place for talk, but under this majority Conservative government, not so much. A day or two of debate and the hammer comes down — budget, Canadian Wheat Board, abolishing the gun registry, adding seats to the House of Commons and others. So parliamentary tempers are flaring, accusations are growing louder, language is getting more colourful and personal attacks more pointed. So much for the increased decorum

that MPs from all parties promised rookie speaker Andrew Scheer when the Regina MP was elected to the position last summer. He has his hands full keeping the place functioning. There are reasons for the political ill will. The newly elected majority government has the most aggressive agenda in at least a generation. It likely won’t be possible, but the Conservatives say they are determined to push many key parts of their election platform through Parliament by Christmas. The issues have been debated for years, they argue, Canadians gave them a mandate May 2 (well, 39 percent) and Canadians expect fast action. In the end, time simply will run out and some bills will not get through by Christmas, but in their effort, the

Conservatives are trampling on parliamentary traditions of debate. The tendency by Conservatives to combine parliamentary restrictions with partisan putdowns of their opponents (Gerry Ritz, anyone?) adds to the breakdown of civility. Liberal senator Bob Peterson from Saskatchewan calls them bullies. Martin complains of “jackboot” (read Nazi) tactics. Add to that the clear frustration of opposition MPs facing a majority government determined to get its way while their own parties, wrapped up in leadership confusion, are largely sidelined and the combination is toxic. It leads to spirited and sometimes mean-spirited debate, but so what? Parliament is and always has been a partisan battleground where tempers flare and words are harsh. It is

called democratic debate, even if opposition MPs insist these days that it is more of a concept than a reality. The alternative would be a Parliament where ideas and actions are not debated, where everyone agrees. Pray for a bit of rancour. The irony is that while Parliament has become more partisan, the agriculture committee that in the last Parliament was largely dysfunctional has become the model of decorum. “I think you’ll find this committee a lot more welcoming than other comm i t t e e s y o u m i g ht hav e c o m e before,” Liberal Frank Valeriote told a witness last week. Indeed, a change of membership does seem to have lowered the temperature. For the moment, that is not in sight in Parliament. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

CWB MONOPOLY | POLICY OPTION

Monopoly for foreign sales viable option BY MURRAY FULTON

n Oct. 18, the government of Canada introduced Bill C-18 to remove the Canadian Wheat Board as the sole seller of wheat and barley produced in Western Canada. The removal of the CWB means that market forces will be relied upon to supply goods and services in the grain handling and transportation system. The reliance on market signals is appropriate only when there is a reasonable amount of competition and when there are no important public goods to be provided. The market does not operate efficiently and effectively when these elements are not present, and policy intervention is often required. There is considerable evidence that the conditions for a well-functioning market do not exist in the grain handling and transportation system. Both the grain handling and railway industries are highly concentrated, with a few large firms dominating the industry. This high concentration is linked to problems with the level of service provided by railways and has resulted in farmers loading producer cars to bypass the higher priced elevator system. Farmers, and the grain handling and transportation system in general, also rely on critical public goods, which in recent times have been provided by the CWB. Access to the United States market is critical at the industry level. The CWB has played a key role over the past 25 years in successfully defend-

The conditions for a well-functioning market do not exist in the Canadian grain handling and transportation system. | FILE PHOTO ing Canada against trade disputes launched in the U.S. It has also played an important role in ensuring that regulatory tools, such as a revenue cap and level of service requirements, are used to address market concentration issues. With the removal of the CWB, both the railways and the grain companies will have much greater latitude to raise prices. Although much has been made about a voluntary CWB providing marketing choice and competition, in reality the board will at worst dis-

appear and at best operate on a limited scale. Without its own grain handling facilities, both on the Prairies and at port, a voluntary CWB is simply not viable. In the absence of a viable CWB, producer car facilities will no longer have a sales outlet. Nor do they handle a sufficient volume of grain to make a voluntary CWB viable. As a result, producer cars will be severely stretched financially and no longer in a position to limit the grain companies’ power to raise handling fees. As well, without the CWB in place,

no industry player will have the desire and the financial wherewithal to supply the public goods required to maintain market access and deal with market concentration. Because the conditions for a well functioning market are not present, full-scale deregulation of the grain handling and transportation system would seem to be a poor public policy decision. Given this, are there policy options that could provide freedom of marketing choice while ensuring a reasonable level of competition? The answer is yes. One option is to remove the CWB as the sole seller of grain to customers in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico but retain it for customers in other countries. Such a policy option would allow farmers to sell their wheat and barley directly to pasta plants, maltsters and flour mills in North America, thereby allowing market forces to guide economic activity and innovation. This option also ensures that the CWB remains a major player in the industry, one that is able to provide countervailing power and important public goods. This policy option involves compromise, which has to take place now. Once the proposed changes to the CWB are made, it will be impossible to reintroduce the CWB into the grain handling and transportation system. Such compromise, however, will not occur as long as farmers, the industry and government all believe that there is only one solution. Fulton is a professor at the JohnsonShoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Saskatchewan.

MEGA-FARMS | FUTURE

Farms don’t need to be mega-sized to be viable HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

e like to think we have big farms in Western Canada, but that perspective changes a bit after spending a week at Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany. We have big operations compared to Western Europe, but we’re small compared to Russian, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Stefan Duerr grew up on a 35 acre farm in Germany. One of six kids, there wasn’t much future for him on the home farm. After training in Russia, he banded together with other shareholders to start a farm in that country. In a decade, the operation has spread across a number of locations

and has grown to include 320,000 acres of arable land and thousands of dairy cattle. The goal is 740,000 acres and 25,000 cows by 2015. We don’t often think of Russia when we talk about farm subsidies, but Duerr said there’s up to 50 percent government support for machinery purchases. Farms are also huge in neighbouring Kazakhstan, where Turemurat Utepov farms 30,000 acres. With dryland farming conditions similar to Western Canada, Utepov was the first in his country to buy a Bourgault air drill from Canada. He now has eight Bourgaults and pulls them with Buhler Versatile tractors from Winnipeg. The dealer who sells Canadian products to Utepov is Michele Trincia. In addition to being Bourgault’s top dealer worldwide, Trincia handles Buhler products as well as Honeybee grain belt headers, which are now on scores of Russian combines. Trincia’s smallest client has 12,000 acres. His largest is Kazexportastik, one of the biggest farm operations in Kazakhstan with 1.8 million seeded

acres. At that scale, the purchase of 20 air drills and tractors at a time is not unusual. Ukraine is heading in the same direction. Farmland sales are still restricted, but big holdings have emerged nonetheless. The country boasts legendary soil fertility and adequate rainfall for growing great crops. There were tough times in the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the dissolution of state farms has not resulted in a proliferation of successful family based operations. Instead, it’s estimated that about half of the land is now farmed by large companies. “If you’re small, there’s no use even going to a lender for money,” said Alex Lassies, president of the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club. “Family farms will not play a role in cash crops because they can’t compete with large farms.” He said large operations have a preferential tax regime. Mriya Agro Holding is an example of what he’s talking about. The farm was only 120 acres in 1992. Now it has

600,000 acres, mostly in western Ukraine. It wants to add another 250,000 acres in the years to come. One family has 80 percent of the Mriya shares with the other 20 percent traded on the public exchange in Frankfurt. Sunflowers, sugar beets, corn, potatoes, winter wheat and winter rapeseed comprise the main crops. The company deals directly with international food companies. When you hear about this amazing size and scope, it makes you wonder about the future of the moderatesized operations that are the mainstay of the grain sector in Western Canada. Agritechnica helps put that into perspective. There are hundreds of thousands of visitors to this giant farm equipment show. Most are farmers, most are from Europe, specifically Germany. A few might have 2,5000 or even 5,000 acres, but many have fewer than 250. They’re defying the wisdom that you have to be mega-sized. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

New guy at WP eager to learn ins and outs of agriculture EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

DAN YATES, REPORTER

’ve seen my name in print before, but never my photo. This is a big day for me. Arts degree validated. Dan Yates here. I’m a writer-editor, wannabe funnyman, nerd of all trades and the newest hire at The Western Producer. I’ll be reporting in these pages for the foreseeable future, until I win the lottery or accept a handsome dowry, so I’ve been asked to introduce myself. I come to the Producer after a 4½-year stint at a leading Regina newspaper (yes, that one), where I did almost everything except sign the cheques. I’ve written stories, edited copy, designed pages and worked online. I’ve received what I feel is a wellrounded education in journalism. But while I’ve done many different things, I have no specialization. In that way, The Western Producer is like going to graduate school, specializing in agricultural journalism. I’ m Sa s k at c h e w a n - b o r n a n d raised, but I’m not a farm boy. At least not yet. Truth be told, I’m more at home talking about comic books and pro wrestling than the finer details of grain marketing. Fi r s t l e s s o n : t h e d i f f e re n c e s between a haymaker and an actual, you know, hay maker. Needless to say, I have a lot to learn, but so far so good. I’ve been in The Western Producer offices for a week and I haven’t gasped, “I’ve made a huge mistake,” at least not audibly. I do, however, know one or two things about newspapers. And the Producer is a heck of a newspaper. As a reader of this product, you’re spoiled. Look at how big it is. It’s filled with quality stuff, too: informative, thorough and well-written. And the photos? Awesome. Not all papers are like this, you know. And that’s why I want to be here. I have an opportunity to do compelling work, see some new parts of Saskatchewan and exercise my writing muscle. The challenge is to learn about agriculture on the job. That’s not a bad gig. I’m spoiled, too. I’m eager to throw myself into this world. Though I have many things to learn, it’s my hope that by being keen and curious, I can live up to not only the hefty reputation of The Western Producer, but those of the reader as well. My name is Dan Yates and there are, hopefully, no stupid questions.

Porky: (noun) British rhyming slang — a lie. Canadian Oxford Dictionary. On Nov. 2, I had the opportunity to represent the Canadian Wheat Board, along with Allen Oberg, at the legislative hearings held in Ottawa to “discuss” the dismantling of the CWB. That same evening the minister of agriculture, Gerry Ritz, also addressed the committee. There is no way to hide from the reality that the Conservative government is simply mocking Parliament and mocking western farmers with its smothering of debate and its false statements to the people of Canada.

What kind of porkies was the minister telling? Here are just a few examples: • “(Without the wheat board), there’s going to be a lot more (wheat, durum, and barley) going to market positions earlier and get us away from starting our trucks and augers at - 40 in January,” Gerry Ritz said at a Nov. 2 legislative committee hearing. So the minister is saying that farmers do not have to deliver non-board grains — flax, canola, peas, etc. — in bad weather conditions? With Canada’s small logistics pipeline to the West Coast, and grain companies wanting to ship even more grain west without the CWB involved in logistics planning, this statement from the minister is a “porky” of the first degree.…

• “I’ve never been allowed to attend a board meeting …. They’ve always said, ‘now’s not a good time, the directors don’t really want to hear from you.’ There’s a number of different reasons that I’ve been told and I was never allowed to attend a board meeting.” — Gerry Ritz, Nov. 2 legislative committee hearing. Another blatant porky. Letters of invitation for the minister to meet with the CWB directors are on file at the CWB, starting in 2008. The last written invitation was for him to attend the board’s meeting on Oct. 12-13, 2011. The minister’s testimony is full of porkies just like the ones above. I’m not afraid of an informed debate or a difference of opinion. But access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

WATER POLICY NEEDED To the Editor: For those who live and work along the shores of Lake Manitoba, the past summer has been a heartbreaking struggle. Many have lost their homes and livelihoods. The channel recently finished to drain Lake St. Martin and in turn lower the water level on Lake Manitoba will hopefully ease the circumstances and those affected by the flooding. However, Robert Arnason’s article in The Western Producer of Nov. 3 mentions the plan for a second channel to be dug between Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin. This will increase that rate of flow out of Lake Manitoba. I see this as a reactive strategy where a more proactive solution exists. This past summer along highways in Manitoba, I have seen backhoes at work widening ditches and installing larger culverts to increase the rate of spring runoff. All this does is compound our problem. Increasing flow rates may seem to be a common sense approach to dealing with excess water, but look at the consequences. Runoff is concentrated to a short time period in the spring, overwhelming natural and man-made control structures. Erosion issues are unavoidable and nutrient loads from agricultural runoff flow directly into Lake Winnipeg. A preferable solution would be to hold back water high in the watershed. The restoration of natural wetlands and the construction of control structures that release water slowly would have several benefits. Water would work its way through the watershed more slowly, reducing erosion issues. Existing drainage str uctures would have time to remove excess water without shoreline flooding. Wetland vegetation would reduce the nutrient load in runoff .... I await a meaningful government water policy that addresses these issues. Neal Van De Spiegle, Swan Lake, Man.

CRUSHING BLOW

I was quite surprised to see the final results of the Nov. 7 Saskatchewan election, and the crushing blow that was dealt to Dwain Lingenfelter and the NDP. It immediately reminded me of a postcard a friend of mine once sent me from Kansas while he was custom harvesting in the heart of tornado country. The card showed a Kansas farm family emerging from the root cellar after the tornado had passed. Everything is in shambles. The farmer says to his wife, who is in tears, “don’t worry Mama, we’ll have it all up and running in no time.” The demise of the NDP is the end result of a small concentration of political leaders who converged in

NEWS the city of Regina and focused on their socialist principles while neglecting the rest of us in other parts of Saskatchewan, a trend that dates back to the early ’90s. Highways, schools and hospitals were beginning to look like the aftermath of the stereotypical Kansas tornado. Then came the Saskatchewan Party, and a man named Brad Wall. And in no time at all, they had it all up and running again. Hopefully, it’ll run for some time to come. John Hamon, Gravelbourg, Sask.

PULSE ELECTION To the Editor: The University of Saskatchewan has designated an employee to run for a board position on Saskatchewan

Pulse Growers. The justification is that the Crop Development Centre produces seed and collects levy, therefore it is their right to seek a position on the board. To increase the chance of success they have persuaded two legitimate producers to run with their candidate as a slate. Why? The U of S currently receives close to $6 million for research out of the $10 plus million SPG revenue. If the university is successful, what then? More money for the university? Will the representative discourage funding for other programs to make more available for the university? Will other university employees still be able to apply for funding to SPG on their own or will they have to get approval from their representative on the board? If their representative gets elected, what then? Next year, one representative for lentils, one for chickpeas and one for peas? What grower

groups will they move on next? Canola Development Commission? Mustard Growers? Canary Seed Growers? Can Viterra or Dow or other non-farm entities use the same argument and do the same? I don’t think it was the intent of the government, the Agri-food Act or the farmers who worked so hard to establish SPG to have SPG run by the university or non-farm commercial interests. I think a review is in order before problems arise. Lyle Minogue, Saskatoon, Sask.

PULSE EXPERTISE To the Editor: Dr. Bert Vandenberg, the principal lentil breeder at the U of S Crop Development Centre is running for

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 24, 2011

election to the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers board of directors. It’s at a time when his expertise and perspective are most needed. Bert has been a supporter of pulse growers since the organization began in the mid eighties. He helped initiate the popular variety release program. His varieties are now supplying about 35 percent of the world’s lentils. He has led the work on chickpeas, dry bean, field peas and now faba bean. He excels at innovation and problem solving. He wants a prosperous pulse industry, which includes a continuous improvement of agronomics and marketing systems to reduce costs and expand demand for pulses. He values the partnerships between pulse growers, government, the research community, our processors and exporters. Bert has the unique ability to assist the board in taking advantage of some key inter-

national partnerships in research and market development, focusing on markets where pulses will be in greater demand and where population and incomes are rising. Bert was approached by former chairs of the pulse board to run. As the CDC grows and sells commercial pulses as part of their farm operation, Bert is eligible to run as a board director. To alleviate any concern that it would be a conflict of interest for him to run for director, Bert would insist that the board practices good governance and consults with legal counsel to draft conflict of interest guidelines. He would not be involved with money decisions directly related to research projects that he is associated with. The advantages of having Bert on the board far outweigh any disadvantages. Shawn Buhr, Lucky Lake, Sask.

Daddy Sherry’s goose hunt SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

ven though Daddy Sherry was 100 years old, he longed to go goose hunting when the fall colours began to show. The local doctor, minister and undertaker decided they would make his dream come true. This is one of the stories in W.O. Mitchell’s novel The Kite, written in the 1950s. It touches close to the heart of those who have been part of small town life on the Prairies. Journalist David Lang is sent to High River from his Montreal office to take up residence for a few weeks to write Daddy Sherry’s story. The centenarian is the essence of crotchety, and is fiercely independent. When he wanted to hunt geese, the guys dug a pit deep enough for his rocking chair, himself and a companion. They lined it with hot rocks and covered it with artificial turf from the funeral home. Just his head could be seen. Their work in preparing the set-up, the calling of the geese, selecting the right moment to rise from the blind, and the resultant roars of laughter honour those small town folk, and thus show respect for all of us. That’s what makes Mitchell’s writings special to many. People in small communities have formed special bonds because many of them have lived side-by-side since time began. They know each other’s foibles and respect their strengths. Now they try to include newcomers, or at least they want to know something about who moved in down the street. Part of the work of the church is to help residents feel more open and more inclusive. A challenge for congregations is how to reach out across denominational lines, finding ways to work together for the good of the whole. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

Bill Gehl was happy with last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lobby on Parliament Hill to convince senators to slow down the rush to end the Canadian Wheat Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single desk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it has been a tremendously successful,â&#x20AC;? the CWB supporter said from his Regina farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met many senators and told them we need an opportunity to get our story across, our first chance to get the farmer story across.â&#x20AC;? Wi t h B i l l C - 1 8 b e i n g r u s h e d through the House of Commons after just seven hours of public hearings and one hour reserved for CWB supporters, the farmers are hoping the Senate holds extensive public hearings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they got the message, and I was pleasantly surprised at the level of knowledge senators had on the issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. The farmers will be back in Ottawa this week as debate winds down in the Commons and begins in the Senate. However, it is far from clear that the Conservative majority in the Senate is in any mood to slow down passage of the legislation. Saskatchewan Conservative senator Dave Tkachuk said he met some

of the visiting farmers and agreed public hearings are necessary. Still, the Conservative intent is to pass the bill quickly before Parliament adjourns in mid-December if possible, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will get a good hearing at committee, but in the end, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to pass this bill,â&#x20AC;? said Tkachuk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will be good for the Prairies. I think it will bring more processing to the Prairies and change the way farmers do business for the better.â&#x20AC;? Conservative fast track Saskatchewan Liberal Bob Peterson, who will lead the opposition fight, said he expects the Conservative majority to try to rush the bill through before Dec. 6, when the issue of the legality of Bill C-18 is to go to court in Winnipeg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have the numbers so they can do this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their level of arrogance is such that they think they can do anything. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get their way, so why do they need to kick sand in our faces and bully us?â&#x20AC;? Senate skirmishing began last week when Manitoba Conservative Don Plett proposed that the Senate agriculture committee begin hearings even

6W 3DXOÂˇV +RVSLWDO providing compassionate care since 1907

before the bill arrives from the House. However, the Conservatives voted down the idea when the Liberals said they would support an early start to agriculture committee hearings only if the committee held prairie hearings. The first witness expected this week is agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. The issue also figured prominently in the Senate question period last week, often with acknowledgement of the visiting farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have met with dozens of farmers on this matter here in Ottawa, and my office has received hundreds of e-mails and faxes from across the country from people who do not feel this is the right thing to do for Canada,â&#x20AC;? said Liberal senator Frank Mahovlich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since a clear majority of farmers want to keep the Canadian Wheat Board in place, why is the Canadian government so intent on going against their wishes by destroying it?â&#x20AC;? Government Senate leader Marjory LeBreton said the CWB is not being destroyed but reformed away from the monopoly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say if you were to ask most of those western farmers about the adage, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;if it ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t broken, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the majority of them would say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it is broken, please fix it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The federal government is expected to end House of Commons debate this week on legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly, sending it to the Senate for final approval. Government House leader Peter Van Loan said he wants Nov. 23 to be devoted to final debate on Bill C-18. However, the government is running short of time to get the bill approved and then through the Senate by mid-December, when Parliament takes a six week break. The Commons began debating proposed opposition amendments to the bill Nov. 18. When the bill is called again, debate on amendments will resume with no inclination by the opposition to end the debate. Van Loan will have to move a motion to sharply curtail debate if he wants the bill to move out of the House this week. NDP MP Pat Martin has proposed eight amendments to the bill that would gut it of its main intent: to end the CWB single desk July 31. Green party leader Elizabeth May has proposed amendments that would restore farmer control of the board. The government bill would get rid of the 10 elected directors and have the board run by five government appointees during the transition period. The Conservative majority can defeat all proposed changes. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

TRADE RULES | COUNTRY-OF ORIGIN LABELLING

WTO ruling on COOL too late Exports slashed | “The damage has been done,” says pork council chair BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

AIRDRIE, Alta. — The economic impact on Canadian beef and pork producers was immediate when the United States passed its mandatory country-of-origin labelling rule in September 2008. Packers had competitively bid on Canadian hogs and cattle before COOL’s passage, but feedlots, hog finishers and processors now have to separate imported livestock from domestic animals so they can be tracked and labelled as foreign product all the way to retail. Only animals born, raised and slaughtered in the United States can carry the Product of the U.S. label. The World Trade Organization ruled Nov. 18 that the U.S. law violated international trade rules. The U.S. has 60 days to appeal the decision. Separating imports from domestic livestock was expensive and many Americans preferred to avoid the extra hassle. Feeder cattle exports dropped by nearly half in 2008-09 and hog exports fell 59 percent. “The damage has been done,” said Canadian Pork Council chair Jurgen Preugschas. He encouraged the Americans to negotiate to mitigate the dispute and get the North American business

back onto a competitive footing with the rest of the world. “People and families have gone out of business solely because of this rule,” he said at a news conference on Soderglen Ranches near Airdrie, Alta. “We have lost over five million hogs in live exports into the U.S.” No hard numbers exist on the cost to the Canadian red meat sector, but it has been estimated millions of dollars were lost when exports dropped. There were also added costs to transport animals to a limited number of American plants willing to accept foreign livestock. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association estimated producers lost $80 to $100 per fed steer or heifer when COOL was first implemented. The law eventually became more flexible and the costs dropped, but CCA president Travis Toews said that may also have been linked to a tighter supply of cattle to process. “Here in the last few months we have had a basis in the high teens, which should never happen,” he said. “U.S. packers should be lowering that basis, but it is COOL that is preventing them from doing so.” Doug Price said COOL had a tremendous impact on his family’s company, Sunterra Farms, which produces lamb, pork and beef. The company’s Ontario division

was unable to ship weaner pigs to the United States, where the animals were finished and slaughtered. It also affected prices in Canada because fewer bidders were willing to buy Canadian cattle, said Price, who is president of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association. Some packers said they would kill imported animals only one day per week, and they often paid much less for Canadian animals because of the added costs. “In cattle for instance, there are 200 different pieces in a steer that go all over and you have to trace them,” Price said. “If I was a packer, I would take a hard look at that and say, ‘let’s just buy U.S. unless I can buy that Canadian stuff cheaper.’ ” He said the WTO ruling was positive, but he is anxious for action. “We are always so impatient, and rightfully so. Now we have won that, we carry on to the next step, next step, next step. It’s a great announcement, but how long does it take? All of us are wondering how long that is.” The rule stays in place until the U.S. makes a decision, and Price said that dependence on the American market is a lingering problem. “It really drives home in my mind and in our association’s mind that we have to diversify our marketplace globally,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

B.C. AGRICULTURAL LAND RESERVE | IMPROVEMENTS

ALR changes include funding increase BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The administrator of British Columbia’s Agricultural Land Reserve will review its fee structure and methods of handling exemptions as a result of proposed legislation tabled Nov. 14. The Agricultural Land Commission administers matters involving the 11.6 million acres designated in B.C. primarily for agricultural use. Applications for non-agricultural use of the land come under its purview. Its annual budget of $2 million was augmented last week by an additional $1.6 million, earmarked to help the commission improve efficiency in its handling of 600 to 1,000 applications per year involving ALR land. B.C. agriculture minister Don McRae said the province continues to support the ALR. “I think agricultural land and agriculture in general is probably more in the public consciousness today than it’s been in a very long time, if ever,” McRae said. Proposed changes include: • placing a five-year moratorium on repeat applications to exclude land from the ALR • having the ALC cover more of its costs, possibly by fee increases • giving the chair more oversight of regional panels • hiring a chief executive officer • enhancing website services • working with local governments • developing a new bylaw for resiaccess=subscriber section=news,none,none

dential uses in the ALR McRae said the proposals are a result of extensive consultations with more than 60 organizations and 300 individuals. They also stem from a report that ALC chair Richard Bullock submitted to the agricultural ministry last November. In it, he referred to overwhelming support for the ALR but concerns about inadequate funding. “Over the last two fiscal years, the

ALC has been forced to focus on processing applications with minimum or no attention being given to its other statutory obligations,” Bullock wrote in his report. “This has led to stakeholders’ dissatisfaction, particularly at the local government level, because the ALC is not available to discuss local and regional matters or to deal with emerging or ongoing issues such as the impact of oil and gas activities on agriculture in northeast B.C.”

Realistic GM tolerance needed for EU deal, says grain sector Unintended trace elements have caused shipments to be rejected BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A Canada-European Union free trade deal will be acceptable to Canadian grain and oilseed producers only if Europe agrees to tolerate unintended low-level GMO presence in non-GMO shipments. It was a clear message from Grain Growers of Canada representatives last week when they appeared before the House of Commons international trade committee on the EU talks. “Any trade deal where access is not

real is no trade deal at all,” GGC executive director Richard Phillips told MPs Nov. 17. For Ontario soybean producer Jim Gowland, tens of thousands of dollars of revenue are on the line. He produces 900 acres of identity preserved non-genetically modified soy for the European market, and the premium those shipments bring is worth up to $70,000 annually for his 2,200 acre farm. However, a European decision to reject a shipment because of unintended trace elements of GM mate-

rial can quickly take that revenue away. “The Canadian grains and oilseeds industry and the Canadian government must continue to work hard together in trade negotiations with the EU and specifically with nontariff trade barriers such as manageable low-level presence policies,” said Gowland. Negotiators have completed nine rounds of talks and a deal is expected in the new year, although many sensitive areas, including agriculture, have yet to be raised. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Farmers who hoped the next fiveyear framework for farm programs would include improvements in farm safety net programs will be disappointed, MPs have heard. Blame the provinces. Ontario Conservative Ben Lobb had some pointed questions last week when assistant deputy agriculture minister Greg Meredith appeared before the House of Commons agriculture committee to outline the state of federal-provincial negotiations over the next generation of Growing Forward. Will changes be made to AgriStability to make it more bankable? he asked. Will there be changes to margin calculation and the viability test that requires a producer to have earned money in two of the past three years to be eligible for help? Meredith said no, and he suggested it is because some provincial ministers do not agree. “We took those specific issues to (federal, provincial, territorial) ministers on more than one occasion in the past two years, two-and-a-half years,” he said. “In each instance, the collective of ministers said no, we don’t choose to go down that path. Because we are a shared jurisdiction, these programs are all federal and provincial shared, the federal minister can’t unilaterally change these programs.” Meredith said fairness is often the

underlying issue when officials make proposals. “Some would lose, some wouldn’t and what is going to be the cost,” he said. “On those occasions when we proposed it, ministers have said collectively ‘no.’ ” His response led Lobb to assume that Ottawa wants to improve the programs but some provinces are reluctant. Can the reluctant provinces be identified? he asked. “No,” Meredith replied, “because we do try to make a collective outcome, a collective decision.” Liberal MP Frank Valeriote later returned to the issue and Meredith seemed to backtrack on who opposed the program changes. “I gather from your answer that the federal minister of agriculture was prepared to make changes to the model but some unnamed provincial ministers weren’t prepared to make changes, just to be clear,” he said. “I would say no,” replied Meredith. “In the case of the parameter changes, I wouldn’t say it was our minister versus the provinces. I wouldn’t characterize the discussion that way.” Alberta Conservative Brian Storseth raised the issue of the complexity of the AgriStability program and the expense of farmers’ hiring an accountant to do the paperwork. “Even they have problems with it.” Meredith said officials holding the consultations also have heard those complaints, but there is no obvious quick fix. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

tabled in Parliament bills to implement trade deals with Panama and Jordan and called for opposition cooperation to get the bills into law quickly. He said agricultural exporters will be among the main beneficiaries. The New Democratic Party opposition quickly signaled that while the deal with Jordan may get a relatively easy ride, it will dig in its heels over Panama. “Panama is one of the biggest tax havens in the world and a country that offers a flag of convenience for shipping companies that want to avoid stricter regulation,” NDP trade critic Brian Masse said in an interview. “We have real difficult with the Panama deal.” Liberal trade critic Wayne Easter said his party does not have much difficulty with the two deals but will use the debate to argue that while the Conservatives promote their trade deals with relatively minor trading partners, they are ignoring problems in the Canada-U.S. trade relationship, where U.S. protectionism has risen as the American economy struggles. “The problem is that these little deals are smoke and mirrors that mask the fact they are not strong in dealing with problems with the Americans,” he said. “They’re doing all this scouting around looking for deals to announce but ignoring problems in our biggest trade.” The deals will lead to a sharp decrease or elimination in tariffs on many Canadian goods. Last year, Canada sold $66 million worth of goods to Jordan, including pulses. Trade to Panama was worth $130 million, including meat and vegetables. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association immediately praised the deals as small but important. The Panama deal in particular could pay dividends because it immediately allows 200 tonnes of duty free access for high-grade beef and elimination of duties on lower grade beef and offal over five to 17 years. The CCA said a booming economy and access to companies that provide food for ships going through the Panama Canal provides a significant opportunity for the Canadian cattle industry. “These may be small markets relative to our traditional beef exports, but they are markets where U.S. beef exporters already benefit from existing free trade agreements,” CCA president Travis Toews said in a news release. “The new FTAs with Panama and Jordan will enable Canadian beef to regain parity of access.” Masse said that while the NDP will oppose the Panama trade deal and raise questions about Jordan’s lack of democracy, he expects the government may follow a recent pattern and cut off debate to get the deals into law quickly.

RESEARCH | BEES

Bee genome may map route to disease immunity BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — DNA investigations may crack open the secret life of bees.

A federal researcher says exploring the bee genome could locate disease resistance against the varroa mite and different strains of the bacterial infections nosema apis, nosema cereanae and American foul-

brood disease (AFB). “Among the honey bee diseases, (AFB) is one of the most serious ones because it can lead to complete colony death,” said bee researcher Steve Pernal, who works at the Agriculture access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Canada Research Centre near Beaverlodge, Alta. He is working with post doctoral fellow Shelley Hoover on a western Canadian project to survey disease levels and find immunity. “The honeybee was one of the early organisms to have its genome mapped, so that was quite a momentous announcement in science,” Pernel said following a presentation of his preliminary research findings at the Alberta Beekeepers Commission’s recent annual meeting in Edmonton. The genomic research analyzed thousands of proteins found in DNA and isolated 15 that seem to be significant in contributing to disease and mite resistance. “We are looking at the expression of proteins to try and give us a unique way of trying to identify disease and varroa mite resistance in bees,” Pernal said. “The Holy Grail is a quick test for the beekeeper to use.” Finding colonies that work harder to keep hives clean is one direction of the study. Hoover said hygienic behaviour among bees is highly heritable and passed onto succeeding generations. They have also found that hives with high hygienic behaviour appear to have less infection. The bees quickly remove diseased and dead bodies and seal off the area within 24 hours.

“We have a long way to go in regards to this trait,” said Hoover. Breeders want high honey production when selecting queens, but finding bees that pass on the tidiness trait is also important. The researchers hope to distribute descendents of these queens to commercial producers in 2013 for further testing. Another large scale disease survey will be conducted in Western Canada at that time. Hoover has worked with 12 beekeepers in the four western provinces, studying 455 colonies and collecting 1,400 samples for various aspects of the study. One part of the study is researching the varroa mite, which has been linked to widespread bee deaths in recent years. The sur veys found the eightlegged, oval shaped mite is present in hives across the West. An annual census of the Alberta industry found 769 beekeepers, with the most being in northwestern Alberta and the Peace River district. The province has 40 percent of Canada’s colonies, making it the third largest beekeeping province behind Ontario and Quebec. Alber ta produced 34 million pounds of honey in 2010 with farmgate receipts of $57 million and exports worth nearly $16 million. China, Argentina, Turkey, Ukraine and the United States are the top five world producers of honey. Canada ranks 24th.

Amendment Act on July 1, 2007. It allows farmers to claim carbon credits back to 2002, in recognition that early adopters of minimum and zero tillage should not be penalized. “Now it’s use them or lose them time,” said Bill Dorgan, president of Agri-Trend Aggregation Inc., one of several carbon credit aggregators in the province. “So if a farmer hasn’t claimed them by Jan. 1, he’s never going to be able to claim them.” Dorgan said many Alberta farmers have yet to claim retroactive carbon credits, “and it’s too bad, because there’s going to be millions of dollars left behind.” Carbon credits are worth $13 to $15 per tonne, depending on the soil zone. Provincial legislation dictates that large emitters must reduce their emission intensity by 12 percent annually, based on an average of emissions between 2003 and 2005. One of the ways they can do that is by buying carbon offsets, and only the agriculture and forestry industries can remove carbon from the atmosphere. “There’s a lot of opportunity for offsets (in Alberta),” said Dorgan. “Ten percent of the population and 40 percent of the national emissions profile happens right here.” Every tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere is equal to one offset credit. Also starting in the new year, only credits that meet new evidence requirements will be eligible. Alberta Agriculture statistics indicate that agriculture emits eight percent of Alberta’s total greenhouse gas emissions but “agricultural practice improvements have already removed 15 percent of legislated emissions reductions, or 3.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.” The carbon credit system has earned farmers $38 million, the department said. “Farmers have an opportunity to help out these nasty large emitters because farmers that can qualify to generate carbon credits are not only practicing good sustainable farming, but they get to help with the whole climate change issue and they’re being rewarded for it,” said Dorgan.

KEY POINTS FOR CARBON OFFSETS IN ALBERTA • credits calculated on calendar year • fall fertilized and fall seeded land can qualify if low disturbance openers are used • most sweeps do not qualify as zero till • inter-row tillage is considered the same as full tillage

ENVIRONMENT | CARBON EMISSIONS

California carbon plan has Canadian implications Western Climate Initiative | Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia are partners and may follow the new rules BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A recent decision in California may have gone unnoticed in Canada but could significantly affect this country’s climate change and agricultural policy, says a carbon market expert. The state announced Oct. 20 that it would initiate a cap and trade system beginning in 2013. California hopes the system will reduce its carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. James Tansey, chief executive officer of Offsetters, a carbon manage-

ment company in Vancouver, said the Canadian media should have paid more attention to California’s decision because British Columbia, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba may follow the state’s lead on climate change. ”The cap and trade system that California approved represents the most significant advance in climate policy in the U.S. and Canada in decades,” said Tansey, who is also a business school professor at the University of British Columbia. As the seventh largest economy in

the world, California’s decision to implement a cap and trade system will create the second largest carbon market in the world. However, the market could soon become larger because B.C., Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba are partners with California in the Western Climate Initiative (WCI). Each jurisdiction in the WCI has made a commitment to take action on climate change, which means each province could pass cap and trade legislation similar to the new rules in California.

“We (Manitoba), as a full partner, can come into the program at any time,” said Neil Cunningham, director of climate change and environmental protection with Manitoba Conservation. “We don’t have climate change legislation in place … but what the WCI does, it creates model legislation and model rules that we would adopt as a province.” Tansey said Ontario and Quebec seem to be moving for ward on their commitments to WCI but B.C. appears less enthusiastic. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

“The success of the provincial Liberals in the recent election and the rise of the NDP … bode well for Ontario’s involvement in the cap and trade system,” Tansey wrote in a blog on the Offsetters’ website. The Manitoba government has consulted the public and industry on the topic, Cunningham said. In its next step, the province will review the consultations and make the appropriate decisions. Tansey said the four provinces would make the federal government’s position on climate change irrelevant if they decided to follow California’s lead because most of Canada’s emissions would be under a cap and trade system. As part of California’s trading scheme, greenhouse gas emitters could buy carbon credits from offset projects in agriculture or forestry. As a result, farmers in provinces that adopted a similar system could sell offset credits to emitters in California. Agricultural offsets could include manure digesters, using and managing crop residue, replanting trees on marginal land and adopting enhanced efficiency fertilizers. Tansey said California will set a floor price for carbon emissions next year at $10 per tonne, but prices will be based on what the market will bear. He estimated that the price of carbon credits will rise to more than $20 per tonne by 2020.

SYDNEY, Aus. (Reuters) — Australia farmers are harvesting an expected record canola crop of 2.62 million tonnes, up more than 20 percent from the previous season’s bumper crop. The Australian Oilseeds Federation said benign weather ahead of the har vest, which is now well advanced across most areas of Australia where the oilseed is grown, had boosted yields. The estimated harvest follows a 15 percent jump in acres planted because of good soil moisture when crops were seeded between April and June. Australia harvested 2.16 million tonnes of canola in 2010-11, a large proportion of which was exported to Asian customers, among the largest being South Korea. Australia is ranked as the world’s second largest canola exporter after Canada. Exports have quadrupled over the past decade because of attractive returns and canola’s role as a rotational crop to wheat. “ The beneficial season-end weather has also bolstered oil content in many areas, with reports of 44 percent oil being common,” the federation said in its crop report. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

RENEWABLE ENERGY | OPTIONS

Energy assessment reveals best project for community Solar or wind? | Development group determines resources available BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

There’s a lot of community interest in renewable energy but not a lot of information. That conclusion, made by the SouthGrow Regional Initiative in southern Alberta, led the organization to find a solution. SouthGrow, an economic development alliance of 22 southern and central Alberta communities, has partnered with the International Wind Energy Academy (IWEA) in Lethbridge to identify renewable energy opportunities. Their plan is to conduct renewable energy assessments in each of the 22 communities and provide them with a report and action plan. IWEA program administrator Greg Peterson has three people working on the assessments, which he expects to be complete by February. “With the growth of renewable energy across the southern region, because it’s so new there’s a lot of potential but not every community understands what kind of potential that could be,” Peterson said. “This assessment will look into what kind of opportunities that a community may have to develop some form of renewable energy source.” Wind energy is the most obvious potential in southern Alberta, but even that isn’t appropriate for all, Peterson said. Solar, microgeneration and energy co-operatives are among the options that will be explored when determining when one best fits a particular community. As well, municipal buildings will be examined to gauge energy use and requirements so appropriate renewable energy alternatives can be suggested. The Alberta government has developed an evaluation tool, the Renewable Energy Toolkit, on which to base the assessments, Peterson said. “From there, we help them with a strategy for the next steps in how you develop projects. This way they know what kind of project is best suited for them,” he said. “Just because the wind blows

doesn’t mean they may be in a good position for wind development. They may be better having a solar energy park.” The communities within SouthGrow each have a list of ideas to promote economic development, and Peterson said renewable energy was on most of them. However, they don’t have enough information to make informed deci-

sions on whether and how to proceed. “The bottom line is building capacity in rural communities,” he said. “That’s what it’s all about. Not that we’re going to do it all. We just want to know what kind of resources are available in the community and how we can help build that capacity in that rural community to take advantage of the opportunities.”

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT | FUTURE

Supply management fate rests on pending trade deals The Western Producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa correspondent Barry Wilson provides this inside look into the politics of supply management and addresses key questions: Are the tariff and quota systems that manage Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dairy, poultry and egg industries coming under increasing fire? Will Canada be able to fend off international calls for an end to the protectionism thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the core of the system?

hroughout the autumn, the chorus of Canadian antisupply management voices has been growing as business leaders, trade analysts and media commentators call for its demise. Former Liberal deputy prime minister John Manley, now head of the Canadian Council of Chief Executive Officers, has pronounced supply management an unjustifiable drag on the economy and Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international free trade reputation. News that Canada wants to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership and is willing to put supply management â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the tableâ&#x20AC;? brought gleeful media commentator calls for the system of production quotas, price setting and high border tariffs to be traded away. Supply management â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not only a perennial obstacle in international trade negotiations but also has the effect of making some food staples unnecessarily expensive in Canada,â&#x20AC;? declared the Ottawa Citizen. Former senior Agriculture Canada official George Fleischmann, now at the University of Toronto after years in the food manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lobby, wrote that one obstacle to dismantling the protectionist tariffs is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the self interest of the supply management bureaucracy. There are probably as many, if not more, dairy bureaucrats at the Canadian Dairy Commission and provincial milk marketing boards than there are dairy farmers in Canada.â&#x20AC;? The University of Toronto-affiliated Mowat Centre think-tank is publishing a report calling for dismantling of the system. Meanwhile, the Canadian restaurant lobby has started its annual campaign to complain about the price of industrial milk that it says drives up the price of cheese and threatens to drive pizza restaurants out of business. It is an annual campaign, building to the yearly late December decision by the CDC on next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk prices, usually higher. Trade analysts have joined the chorus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why should the supply managed sectors be treated any differently than the wine producers were 25 years ago when they opposed free trade but in the end, it was a boost for their industry,â&#x20AC;? said Toronto trade lawyer Lawrence Herman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every other industry in Canada arguably is subject to market forces including people who produce a whole variety of farm products.â&#x20AC;? Even former World Trade Organization Canadian negotiators John Weekes and Mike Gifford have said that change is coming and should. Only the political class seems immune to the anti-supply management campaign with all parties in the House of Commons swearing allegiance, although opposition MPs access=subscriber section=news,none,none

regularly question the Conservative sincerity. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on? Is this a concerted campaign to dismantle the 40 year-old system that produces higher farmgate prices in exchange for production controls and protectionism? Dairy Farmers of Canada executive director Richard Doyle doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is just coincidence that all these things are coming at the same time from different directions,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing new that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard in the past 40 years and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naĂŻve because other countries have sensitive areas that they protect but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use our transparent language. We are an

easy target. But it is frustrating.â&#x20AC;? Part of the frustration is the prospect of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations with supply management in the mix. While Conservatives vow to defend and protect the system, opponents cannot imagine it surviving a â&#x20AC;&#x153;free tradeâ&#x20AC;? negotiation with tariffs as high as 300 percent on some dairy products. For Liberal Ralph Goodale, it is an old story. As agriculture minister in 1993, he was forced to defend supply management protectionism against all other countries at negotiations that led to the Uruguay Round World Trade Organization deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody else found ways to protect their sectors and then pointed

fingers at us,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of hypocrisy. But when I would raise American peanuts or cotton, Japanese rice, issues like that, the conversation often died away.â&#x20AC;? Another part of the mix is the Conservative government determination to end the Canadian Wheat Board single desk, even as it defends supply management monopolies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is an inherent contradiction in the government saying it believes in free market principles in respect of wheat and barley but not in respect of supply managed products,â&#x20AC;? said Herman. And then there is the hope among some opponents that the Conservatives donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really mean it.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think with a majority government there is a greater possibility of them acting in areas that affect supply management products than there was in the five years of a minority Parliament,â&#x20AC;? said Herman. That view is at the core of opposition allegations that farmers should not trust the Conservatives on the issue. Still, in government the Conservatives have built a solid record of support that has supply management leaders singing their praises. Meanwhile, the volume of the choir of critics keeps rising. All eyes will be on a pending Canada-European Union trade agreement and TPP negotiations to see if it is being heard.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANOVER, Germany — A driverless tractor and a round baler that doesn’t stop won gold at Agritechnica, the world’s largest agricultural show. Agco was awarded a top prize in agricultural innovation for a tractor that follows the lead of another machine in the field. A master machine with an operator runs through the field with an implement while a second machine, unmanned, follows behind, widening the coverage or making a second pass field operation with a different implement. Carl Albrecht Bartmer of the German farmer association DLG, runs Agritechnica in Hanover and provides the innovations award. He said the ability to use smaller tractors for greater fuel efficiency and reduced soil compaction were factors in Agco winning a 50 percent share of first place for its Fendt machine. Agco president Martin Richenhagen said the system shows what can be done with farm machinery. “There are labour savings of hard to find, skilled labour, there are fuel and other savings, but it will be for farmers to tell us what they can do to make the best use of this technology,” he said. “There are many uses for this level of telematics. You in Canada have some very large fields in the West. For you there are many opportunities to make better use of labour and other resources though automation.” The new technology, which uses satellite global information systems and radio communication to run additional machines, will make its debut in European farm fields in the next few years. Richenhagen said the tractor will be late arriving in the United States because of liability issues. In most countries, the liability for damage caused by an errant, driverless tractor rests with the farmer who owns it, he said. However, Agco’s lawyers are still considering the issue in the U.S., he added. He said it is ironic that a country that can deliver guided missiles to a remote target in a war zone would be the last to obtain an autonomous piece of farm equipment. Sharing the gold medal for innovation was forage company Krone for its continuous running round baler with automated bale poly wrapping. Bartmer said the ability to bale without stopping to tie and unload the bales increases capacity by 50 percent. “For northern climates, putting up silage and hay quickly is critical,” he said. “Any innovation that can improve (production) this much can (revolutionize) a farming activity.” Martin Seggering of Krone said the access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

pausing, that was the puzzle,” he said. “We added intelligent computer control over a preliminary (hay intake) chamber (ahead of the bale chamber) and regulation of the trac-

and reduces operator fatigue. “The farmer just ensures the (windrows) are feeding into the baler without concern for stopping to finish the bale,” Seggering said.

TRADE | FARM MACHINERY

Build here, reap benefits, says Kazakhstan ag minister Equipment makers offered exclusivity for building plant in the country BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANOVER, Germany — Kazakhstan has told farm equipment manufacturers that the first companies to begin building large scale machinery in that country could receive exclusive access. The country, which is the world’s largest exporter of wheat flour, repre-

sents a significant market for farm machinery and an opportunity for agricultural investors. Asylzhan Mamytbekov, Kazakhstan’s agriculture minister, said during a Nov. 16 meeting at the Agritechnica farm show in Hanover that implement manufacturers must make their equipment in his country to avoid a large tariff on imports. He told company executives and

international trade officials that they can count on the nation’s workforce, government tax breaks and incentives, a good domestic market, assistance with exports and no import tariff.

delivered ahead of a larger American farm technology show in Florida two years ago, when the Russian agriculture minister told machinery makers that they needed to start building their factories inside the former Soviet Union or face stiff new tariffs, which were soon imposed. The world’s largest companies played ball with the former Soviet republics and have been opening factories there ever since. Hermann Garbers of the German equipment manufacturers association said the world must open its markets for trade. “Not just in grains and oilseeds, but for machinery and technology. Countries benefit from improved agricultural technology and that benefits their economies overall. Tariffs are not the answer,” he said in a separate international trade forum at the Agritechnica show. Russia is set to join the World Trade Organization after the WTO’s next meeting in Geneva, but to do so it must reduce trade restrictions. The country is dropping its 2009 tariff on some foreign- made farm equipment, specifically self propelled machinery. In addition to import tariffs to encourage local manufacturing, Russia and Kazakhstan use direct payments of up to 50 percent and low interest loans to encourage farmers to buy modern, larger-scale farming equipment and technology. This partly offsets import tariffs, but it also makes regionally produced equipment more competitive against imports. Russian farmer Stefan Duerr said the incentive to buy machinery and build livestock facilities in the former Soviet Union are significant. “We can get grants and low interest lending, maybe three percent on farm equipment,” he said. “In a country with 10 percent inflation, you can’t go wrong. The systems work to keep you modernizing.” Mamytbekov said farm equipment sales dried up after the 2008 financial crisis because of a lack of credit, but Kawagoe, the state run agricultural lender, offered loans of $500 million to farmers in 2010 and 2011. Gert Lindemann, agriculture minister in the German province of Lower Saxony, said he and his officials have worked in Kazakhstan to develop markets for machinery exports. He said the region’s trade policies and farmer incentives to modernize their production are working, with lending being the biggest limiting factor. “It is a very large country, with a lot of arable land, with a big role to play in solving the global food shortage,” he said. “Improving yields with better technology is (key).”

GUN REGISTRY | SUPPORTERS, OPPONENTS

Committee reviewing gun registry hears from both sides Confusion over control, registry | Conservative MP Vic Toews says strict gun control rules will continue, while the registry data is out of date BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

For the Conservatives last week, front-line police officers like Murray Grimmer and Randall Kuntz were the face of why the government is killing the long gun registry. Det. sgt. Grismer, a firearms specialist and instructor with the Saskatoon Police Service, told a House of Commons committee studying Bill C-19 that the registry is an ineffective crime-fighting tool with unreliable and incomplete data. “Police across Canada cannot and must not place their trust or risk their

lives on inaccurate, unverified information contained in the registry,” said Grismer. “From my perspective, if doing away with the registry saves one of Canada’s front-line police officers, it is worth it. Retaining the registry at the risk of one police officer’s life is too great a price to pay.” Kuntz, a police officer from Edmonton, said he polled fellow officers and more than 2,400 of 2,600 who responded wanted the registry gone. It supports the government argument that the registry does not help police stop crime and that police chiefs who say it does are out of touch. Public safety minister Vic Toews,

who appeared at the committee meeting to make the government case for the bill, said Manitoba NDP premier Greg Selinger is the provincial face of the registry’s flaws. While under attack from NDP committee members who support the registry, Toews assured them he has worked with provinces on the file. “Your colleagues in the NDP government in Manitoba have clearly indicated this is not an effective gun control measure,” said Toews. For opponents of the bill, the face of the opposition were victims of crime and several shooting sprees at Montreal schools.

Wendy Cukier, president of the Coalition for Gun Control, told the committee that the registry has been effective no matter what Conservatives and some front-line police officers say. “Rates of firearm death and injury have significantly declined with stronger gun control and the registry is an essential part of the mix.” Opponents also raged at the government decision to destroy data collected through the registry. Quebec public safety minister Robert Dutil was in Ottawa Nov. 17 to demand that Ottawa turn over Quebec data to the provincial governaccess=subscriber section=news,none,none

ment, which plans to create its own registry. He had Quebec police support. Yves Francoeur, president of the Montreal Police Brotherhood, told a Parliament Hill news conference the records should be kept. “On the Island of Montreal alone, there are about 75,000 weapons and 60,000 are long guns,” he said. “You cannot seriously claim that losing track of 60,000 weapons has no impact on public safety.” Toews stuck to his guns. The data is information collected on law-abiding gun owners and is increasingly out-of-date and inaccurate, he insisted. “The registry is the data,” he said. Toews accused the opposition of misleading Canadians by confusing gun control with the gun registry. He said strong gun control will continue, including licensing, background checks, gun safety courses and tough control over guns crossing the border. Committee hearings continue this week.

Amendments to a controversial land bill are to be tabled in the Alberta legislature this week. In a news conference Nov. 18, Alberta infrastructure minister Jeff Johnson said he planned to present amendments to the Land Assembly Project Area Act (LAPA), formerly known as Bill 19, to address landowners’ concerns. The act outlines the process through which the province acquires private land for major projects such dams, reservoirs and ring roads around major cities. “Our goal is to address the concerns that have come up with respect to landowner rights and to make sure that landowners are respected when the government needs to acquire land for public projects,” said Johnson. Complaints about the act fell into four categories: • confusion over the exact definition of a LAPA project • whether landowners could get fair and proper compensation for expropriated land • whether landowners had proper access to the courts in the event of disagreement • penalties were seen as too heavy handed “We are going to address every one of those four areas in the amendment that comes forward on Monday (Nov. 21),” he said. “Property owners deserve nothing less and they expect nothing less from their government and ultimately this is about giving more power to those landowners, which is the right thing to do.” Johnson said details on the amendments would be available this week after presentation in the legislature. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

EU rapeseed acres could fall

Horse near-drowning a warning to owners

PARIS, France (Reuters) — French analyst Strategie Grains says difficult rapeseed sowings in the European Union could lower the seeded oilseed area for the 2012 crop by three percent to 28.4 million acres. “This decline is essentially due to poor conditions at planting time in many countries (in particular Germany, Denmark, Romania and Bulgaria),” the analyst said in its monthly report. EU grain area was expected to rise by 1.97 million acres in 2012-13 to 139.37 million acres, with durum recording the biggest increase, up about 740,000 acres at 7.17 million, as growers capitalize on its high price.

Ice too thin | Ponoka County’s firefighters put equipment from livestock emergency trailer to use

access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN FREELANCE WRITER

PONOKA, Alta. — Two stallions are recovering after they were rescued Nov. 15 from what could have been an icy grave. Ponoka firefighters were called just before sunset when a farmer asked for help rescuing two horses that had fallen through the ice into a grassy slough. Ponoka fire chief Ted Dillon said the farmer, a recent immigrant to Canada, had approached one of his volunteer firefighters at work. The volunteer

then contacted the fire hall and rounded up some help while Dillon gathered halters and ropes from the livestock emergency trailer that Ponoka County has been putting together. The temperature was -5 C and dropping when firefighters arrived at the farm just outside Ponoka. One horse made it out of the water on its own but the other had given up and was lying on its side. Dillon said the animal likely became exhausted quickly because the water was so cold. With the farmer on his all-terrain vehicle and eight pairs of experienced

hands helping out, the crew was able to pull the horse safely to shore and get it to its feet. The farmer then took both animals to a barn where they could be dried off and warmed up. He returned to the fire hall the next day with a box of doughnuts to express his gratitude. RCMP livestock investigator Dave Heaslip said the accident should serve as a warning. Unusually heavy rain in the region has meant more standing water than usual, which is now in the early stages of freezing. Horses, cattle and children can wander onto the heavier ice at the edge access=subscriber section=news,none,none

If it’s ag we finance it

and feel safe, he added, but risk breaking through as they approach thinner ice. There have been at least two instances in recent years in which farmers have lost animals that fell through the ice. Most recently, a farmer near Red Deer lost 15 animals when his cattle walked onto a dugout and fell through. In 2006, 170 cattle died after plunging through thin ice on a farm near Viking, Alta. Ponoka County’s livestock emergency trailer is not ready for the road, but Heaslip said it did supply valuable equipment for the rescuers at Ponoka, who are all experienced with livestock and trained in managing livestock emergencies. It is the second such trailer in Alberta, modelled after a unit built for Red Deer County. The trailers carry emergency equipment including ropes, halters, portable corrals, generators, lights and disposable coveralls. Police and firefighters in Alberta are offered specialized training for managing emergencies that involve transported livestock. Dillon said most of Ponoka’s firefighters have experience handling livestock.

TORONTO (Reuters) — Shares of BioExx Specialty Proteins plunged last week after a research firm cut its rating on the Canadian agribusiness company one day after it posted a bigger quarterly loss. Fraser Mackenzie cut its rating for BioExx to “underperform” from “market perform” after the company reported a $5.75 million third-quarter loss following the close of markets Nov. 14. That compared with a loss of $3 million in the previous year’s quarter. BioExx shares slumped 12 cents, or 44 percent, to 15.5 cents in Toronto Nov. 15, continuing a slide that has seen the stock lose nearly all it value this year, after touching a 52-week high of $2.71. The company, which crushes canola to produce proteins suitable for human consumption in products such as sports drinks, has struggled over the past year to scale up production at its plant in Saskatoon. BioExx said it has promoted Chris Schnarr to chief executive officer and approved a shareholder rights plan to give shareholders and directors time to consider any takeover bid. Schnarr was previously chief financial officer and had acted as interim CEO after Chris Carl was asked to step down in August. Schnarr said BioExx will look to firm up its business at current production levels and look for partnerships. The company also appointed Greg Furyk to chief financial officer from his previous role as the company’s controller. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The European parliament called for more funds for research, clearer warning labels on pesticides and incentives for pharmaceutical companies to develop antibiotics. “Beekeeping is crucial for our society as pollination plays an essential role in preserving biodiversity and maintaining sustainable European agriculture and food security,” said Socialist EU lawmaker Csaba Sandor Tabajdi, who tabled the resolution. The European Commission estimates that 84 percent of plant species in Europe depend on pollination, and that pollination has an economic value to the bloc of $30 billion. The lack of data on bee health has been a hurdle in identifying the causes of the population decline, the commission has said. It plans to launch a pilot surveillance program to monitor bee health early next year. Experts in many countries have documented a disappearance of bees in recent years in what is widely called colony collapse disorder, blamed on many factors including parasites, fungi, stress, pesticides and viruses. The EU produces 200,000 tonnes of honey per year, and Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Romania are the bloc’s biggest producers, according to the commission.

because of competition from imports. “EU imports of biodiesel have increased sharply so far this year and will probably reach a record 2.52 million tonnes in JanuaryDecember 2011, up 21 percent from last year,” Oil World said. “We expect 1.4 million tonnes of biodiesel to arrive from Argentina and at least 830,000 tonnes from Indonesia and Singapore.” That compares with imports of 1.1 million tonnes from Argentina and 516,000 tonnes from Indonesia and Singapore last year.

Competition in biodiesel HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — European biodiesel refiners are likely to go out of business in the coming year as low demand in Europe combines with stiff competition from abroad. The European Union will be under pressure to erect barriers to imports to protect the industry. “Many biodiesel companies are already in a critical situation, and there is a risk that this will be transformed into companies closing in the next months,” said Raffaello Garofalo, secretary general of the European biodiesel industry association EBB. “Many companies have already

winter could reduce the Ukrainian winter rapeseed harvest to .8 to 1.2 million tonnes in 2012 from 1.3 million tonnes in 2011, analyst UkrAgroConsult said. Ukraine, which exports 90 percent of its rapeseed, harvested 1.4 million tonnes this year, including 110,000 tonnes of spring rapeseed. “Winter rape emerged on just

(1.8 million acres, 80.5 percent of the area) by Nov. 4. Its plants were weak, sparse on about 32 percent of this area and this is the worse figure in the past three years,” the consultancy said in a report. “UkrAgroConsult estimates this year’s share of ‘risky’ crops at almost 50 percent. Even if further conditions are ideal for winter rape growth, about (320,000 to 370,000 acres) can safely be written off already.” The consultancy said poor weather had also affected Ukrainian winter grains. Thirty percent of the seeded area were in poor state. Ukraine plans to harvest a record 53 to 54 million tonnes of grain in 2011 and expects to export a record 27 million tonnes in 2011-12. The country harvested 39.2 million tonnes of grain last year and exported 12.7 million in 2010-11.

closed, especially in Germany and Spain.” The EBB estimates that EU biodiesel production capacity is at 22.1 million tonnes this year, but the industry is reaching only 44 percent of that capacity. “Although the EU has got a nominal biodiesel capacity of more than 22 million tonnes, many plants have been at least temporarily closed down or idled and are not really producing,” said Rabobank analyst Susan Hansen. “This is for instance the case in Germany, Spain, or Italy but actually across the whole of the EU.” A poor EU rapeseed crop has made palm oil and soyoil-based biodiesel more price attractive. German oilseed analyst Oil World forecasts EU biodiesel output will fall to 9.07 million tonnes in 2011 from 9.54 million last year, largely

RECORD-SETTING COMBINE | 24,000 BUSHELS IN EIGHT HOURS

MACHINERY | CLAAS

Claas sets world harvest record 2,945 bushels per hour | Combine beat the previous record set by New Holland BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANOVER, Germany — A combine rolled into a wheat field near Swaby in Lincolnshire, England, just after dawn on the first day of September. The grain was testing 18 percent but would improve during the day. Eight hours later, 24,000 bushels of wheat, adjusted to 13.5 percent moisture, were in the bins and 172 acres were empty. For farmers Mike Daniels and Tony Turnbull, it was the fastest their land had ever been harvested. For Claas, the feat broke a 20,267 bu. record set by combine competitor New Holland. Jens Broer was one of two operators who worked in two hour shifts to break the three-year-old Guinness record. They drove a 586 horsepower Claas/Lexion 770 fitted with the Claas track system and a 40 foot Vario header. “It went by very smoothly. It was fast and a bit (tough) in the morning, but the machine ran full power the whole way,” he said after the record was announced at the Agritechnica farm show in Hanover, Germany. “We just set the (computerized t h ro u g h p u t c o nt ro l s ) a n d t h e machine for the changing conditions during the day, put on the GPS (steering) and watched it work until we needed to unload or turn.” Theo Freye of Claas’ board of directors said the machine wasn’t allowed to just run through the field. “The losses were 0.3 to 0.5 percent. They check that,” he said. “But they decided not to stop. After six hours the eight hour record was broken, so they finished the fields. They ran 20 hours through the night.” Almost 50,000 bu. of wheat (48,800 adjusted to 13.5 percent moisture) worth $350,000 would come off 320 acres by 6:30 the next morning. “It’s a good feeling to see that much access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

grain in one day from one machine,” Broer said. Freye said combine performance has improved by two percent a year over the past decade, with some technology making bigger strides

from time to time. He said the combine’s ability to work in tough conditions overnight and with heavy dew was based in part on a pre-concave system that pulls out the more easily separated

‘Very, very big family business’ still growing HARSEWINKEL, Germany — In the German countryside, between winter wheat and corn fields and off the autobahn, sits a town that proudly refers to itself as Combine City. Harsewinkel, population 24,000, is home to Claas. The 98-year-old, family owned farm equipment business sells more than $3.4 billion in machinery a year. It has 9,000 employees worldwide, 3,400 of whom work at its 400,000 sq. metre facility in Harsewinkel making combines, forage harvesters and high horsepower tractors. The company’s assembly lines run a single shift from January to July, with the exception of the paint plant. “This is a family business,” said Heinrich Pieper of Claas. “It is still run like a family business, just that it got very, very big. Our co-workers here, like in all of the 13 other factories around the world now, are sharing in the success of the company.” The company was started in 1913 and by the end of the First World War was building hay balers, obtaining its first patent in 1921 for a bale twine knotter. “We have over 6,000 patents today,” said Pieper. Germany’s first combine was a Claas, released in 1936, and by 1953 it had a self-propelled version. Forage harvesters arrived in 1973, adding to the company’s baling and mowing capacity. The company took over Renault’s tractor business in 2005. Expansions in Russia and India have resulted in rapid growth over the past 15 years. The release of the Lexion line of combines, paired with Caterpillar power systems and North American distribution, expanded global markets for machines that were designed for high capacity in small grains and oilseeds under difficult harvest conditions.

conditions that can be found in northern Europe. “Like on the Canadian Prairies, we can get wet and cold affecting the harvest,” he said while sitting above the company’s sprawling trade show presence at Germany’s Agritechnica farm show. “The machines will work in the (U.S.) Midwest just fine, but the Lexion is designed to manage cereals, and their straw, and oilseeds in less than ideal circumstances, such as it can be here (in the Westfailia and Lower Saxony regions of Germany).” Tough conditions don’t just happen on the farm. Claas weathered the low commodity prices era with a slow but steady growth plan, said Theo Freye, spokesperson for Claas’ executive board. “Being privately held, Claas can make decisions that would be difficult for publicly traded operations,” he said at Agritechnica. “For instance, after the economic crisis we stayed in Moscow, we didn’t cut jobs and pull out like some other

companies did,” he said about the company’s new Russian arm and new combine factory, completed in 2005 in the heart of that country’s grain region near Krasnodar. Freye said Claas believes in building its machines in farming regions where they are used. This includes its home plant in Harsewinkel and its Lexion combine facility in Omaha, Nebraska. “We can take a long, sometimes conservative, but long view about business,” Freye said. The company builds many lines of equipment that aren’t prevalent in North America, such as some haying equipment, smaller combines, rice harvesters and many of the 13,000 tractors built each year at Le Mans, France, southwest of Paris.

ENERGY | SUSTAINABILITY

Adopting renewable energy can start with small steps ENERGY FIELD

WILL ODDIE

Every step to reduce energy consumption helps the environment

s a renewable energy specialist, I often hear the comment, “I’d like to do something with renewable energy. I just don’t know what makes the most sense.” The first answer must be: “If you want to make the most economical sense, work to conserve energy rather than creating it.” That means doing things as simple as turning off lights and the power to televisions, computers and other appliances that are not used. Driving smart by leaving earlier, driving slower and planning ahead to make fewer trips is also a dramatic contribution. Simple conservation efforts around the house such as weather stripping, low-volume flush toilets and energy efficient appliances all cut down on a c cand e sresource s = s u consumption. bscriber energy section=crops,none,none However, that is not the response

that some people want to hear. They want to do something that they and others can see: something visible, something tangible. So for those of you who are ready to tackle renewable energy technology, consider three factors: location, timing and preference. Location is important because the availability of natural gas, which is the most common energy source, varies from region to region, as does the availability of renewable resources. Cheap natural gas is taken for granted in many parts of the country, but in other places its availability is limited. More expensive heating oil serves as the common energy source in many communities. Pricier propane is used by those who are off the grid. Electricity prices vary across Canada depending on the source, be it hydroelectric, coal or nuclear. The cheapest power is available in Quebec, Manitoba, and British Columbia because of abundant hydro-electricity. Timing relates to the availability of incentives, such as grants, rebates, tax credits, capital cost allowances and feed-in tariffs. Most programs have time limits. Deadlines for the federal government’s energy efficiency and solar thermal grants have been extended until March 31. Saskatchewan’s gridtied power system rebates also end March 31. Some programs, such as Ontario’s

feed-in tariff for power systems, are likely to be less lucrative as more people subscribe. Preference is important because you want to like what you are doing and be able to live with any challenges that might arise in operation. The question most often asked is, “what is the payback?” The environmental answer is that you are contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gases that benefits everyone, but in economic terms, payback refers to the period of time over which the savings are equal to the capital cost. The quickest payback comes from seasonal pool heating, which makes use of the longer summer solar hours. The savings can be dramatic if you are heating with gas or electricity, and the payback is measured in a few short years followed by years of free heating. You can start with something basic that every household uses: hot water. A solar thermal system that costs $5,000 to $7,000 can offset as much as 50 percent of the annual water heating requirements for a residence of four. The payback of a solar hot water system depends on the cost of your conventional energy source, your hot water use and your location. The payback will be quicker if your conventional energy source is oil, propane or electricity, likely less than 10 years. The payback is longer If you heat with natural gas.

Use is another factor. Seniors with lower hot water use will have a much longer payback than a family with children. As well, insolation, which is the sun reaching the ground, differs from area to area. Rainier areas have less insulation because of the greater cloud cover, so areas with lower insolation have longer payback times. Payback is obviously shorter if grants are available. Let’s say you want to harness the wind. Again, location is all-important. Terrain and buildings have a major impact on wind, so urban locations are generally low production areas. However, if you are out in the middle of nowhere with nothing around but grass and a great horizon, chances are you have a good wind resource. To get a better idea, check out www. windatlas.ca. It maps the wind resource available across the country. When reading the map, remember that small increases in wind speed result in large increases in power production, so an area with an average wind speed of five metres per second will produce almost double the power production of an area with four metres per second wind speed. Many manufacturers include a chart on their websites that allows you to enter your wind speed and calculate the expected power production. However, standardized wind turbine testing is in its infancy, so make sure the turbine you are considering has been independently tested, and look

at the figures critically. Maybe you have a stream that has a respectable drop while crossing your property. This suggests a microhydro power installation. Its output will depend on the volume and the amount of drop. You will have to jump through hoops because waterways are under federal and provincial authority, but hydro power is the most constant, reliable and inexpensive renewable power source. Most jurisdictions have at least a net-metering program that allows you to offset grid-power consumption with on-site production. The most popular concept is to produce power with photovoltaic panels, whether it is just a cabin in the woods or a full-blown system covering the roof of your largest building. PV is reliable and virtually maintenance-free, particularly in the case of grid-tied solar that doesn’t use batteries. it is still a long-term investment in most jurisdictions but is still a better investment than most stock equity funds these days. Saskatchewan has a 35 percent capital cost grant, and Ontario’s FIT program pays as much as 80 cents per kilowatt hour for grid-connected renewable energy. These systems can pay for themselves with a longterm contract. Will Oddie is a renewable energy, sustainable building consultant with a lifetime interest in energy conservation.

AGRONOMY | HERBICIDE RESISTANCE

New 2,4-D tolerant crop system fights problem weeds Combining herbicides | Using a higher rate of one chemical only hastens resistance so farmers are encouraged to take multiple forms of action BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Over the last several years, weed scientists have repeatedly said that new chemistries will be needed in the near future to combat the burgeoning challenge of herbicide resistance. While the industry searches for the next silver bullet, a few agro-chemical companies are looking to the past to solve the present day riddle of resistance, says Dean Riechers of the University of Illinois. Dow AgroSciences, for example, is developing a new product that features one of the oldest weed controls on the market — 2,4-D. “It’s kind of an interesting idea…. It’s making genetically modified crops but using herbicides that have been around for a long time,” said Riechers, an associate professor in crop science who specializes in herbicide resistance. Dow AgroSciences is promoting Enlist, a product under development that will combine glyphosate with a new choline formulation of 2,4-D different from amine and ester formulations. The product will work in combination with crops that have genetic tolerance to the chemistry. “Dow Agro told me they are going to release a GM (genetically modified 2,4-D) corn in 2013,” Riechers said, followed by soybeans and cotton. “You can use 2,4-D in corn right now but a lot of farmers don’t because it tends to drift…and injures the corn crop. Sometimes the stalks get brittle.” The challenges of drift and crop damage with the old 2,4-D, which limited its use, are supposedly resolved in the new version, Riechers said. Adding 2,4-D to the mix should buy modern agriculture some time on herbicide resistance, he noted, because it is an auxin herbicide. “We know a lot about 2,4-D… and it has a very complicated mode of action,” he said, which means weeds will have to work harder to develop resistance. In addition, auxins have historically been mixed with other herbicides, thereby reducing the risk of resistance. “I’m not sure it’s going to be this way forever. But for the time being resistance to 2,4-D and Dicamba in the U.S. Midwest isn’t really a big problem.” Although it remains in development and needs regulatory approval, a product like Enlist is needed because farmers in many parts of the U.S. are losing the fight against glyphosate resistant weeds like waterhemp, Riechers noted. “The biggest problem with glyphosate resistant weeds is in the southeast U.S., where they grow cotton continuously,” he said. “So I think that will be a major market for this technology…. It’s going to have more of a benefit in cotton and soybeans (because) we don’t have as access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

Farmers have long sprayed 2,4-D to control weeds but new products being developed may expand the chemical’s use and combine it with glyphosate to help combat harmful spray drift and weed resistance. | FILE PHOTO many options for controlling waterhemp in those two crops.” Glyphosate resistant giant ragweed and horseweed have been confirmed in Ontario. But, overall, Canadian farmers have fewer problems with glyphosate resistance than producers south of the border. Nonetheless, producers will need to alter their practices. Otherwise, it will become a major migraine for Canadian agriculture, said Ken Sapsford, University of Saskatchewan weed expert. “In the past decade a lot of us, including myself, have said why spend extra money on these new (herbicides with multiple modes of action). Just up the rate of glyphosate. Which is not what we should be saying these days because of the resistance issues.” According to research by Hugh Beckie of Agriculture Canada, kochia will likely be the first weed to develop resistance to glyphosate in Western Canada. Yet, if producers are proactive, the resistance could be delayed, Sapsford noted, because there are products on the market, right now, which combine other modes of action with glyphosate. “By using products like Cleanstart or Heat, or any product that will control kochia in combination with glyphosate, you’re helping to avoid that resistance from developing.” The million-dollar — or more likely the $100 million —question is, are Canadian farmers spending more on the combination products now, to save money in the future? Although he didn’t know the answer to that question, Sapsford said scientists and crop extension professionals are spreading the word on the importance of multiple modes of action. “The message is getting out there,” he said. “But I’m still seeing a lot of product go down as a single mode of action.”

WHAT IS WATER HEMP? • The annual plant comes from the pigweed family (Amaranthus rudis) and grows between two and eight feet high. • Little seeds are produced in great abundance and can persist through the winter. The foliage can accumulate high levels of nitrates so it can be toxic to livestock when eaten in abundance.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 24, 2011

AG NOTES SEED OF THE YEAR ANNOUNCED Fleet meadow bromegrass is the 2011-12 Seed of the Year West. The high yielding, high quality seed was produced by the late Bob Knowles, who bred new varieties of perennial grasses for Western Canada at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Saskatoon. Many of the most popular dryland grass varieties in Western Canada came from his 52-year-old program. Fleet was the first Canadian release of meadow bromegrass and became the most widely distributed variety in North America. It is still a leading variety, almost 25 years after its release in 1987. Seed of the Year recognizes publicly developed varieties that have made a significant contribution to the economy, agriculture and the Canadian public. Part of the western award is a scholarship of $4,000, which is awarded to a student enrolled in a western Canadian university and completing a Masters or Ph.D. in plant breeding or genetics. For more information, visit www. seedoftheyear.ca/west. AGRI-MARKETER OF THE YEAR Kim McConnell, co-founder and former chief executive officer of AdFarm, is the 2011 recipient of the Canadian Agri-Marketing Association’s Agri-Marketer of the Year award. The designation honours excellence in agricultural marketing. McConnell founded Fieldstone Marketing and Communications, which he later merged with Parker Group Communications to form AdFarm. He has also worked with the Alberta Livestock and Meat Association, Canada 4-H Foundation, Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame, Centre for

Health and Safety of Agriculture, the Alberta Economic Development Authority, Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers program, Growing Alberta, Alberta Farm Animal Care, the Estey Royal Commission on Grain Handling and Transportation, the Canadian Agriculture Policy Institute and Women in Agriculture. Work with 4-H and the Cattlemen’s Young Leaders and Entrepreneurs Organization includes regularly mentoring young future leaders. FLAX COMMISSION PLANS ELECTION THIS FALL Saskatchewan farmers can vote this fall for their representative on the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission’s board of directors.

FARMFAIR | HEREFORD SALE

Herefords prove ideal for southern Alta. ranch Suited to Rocky Mountain area | Breed wins several awards at farm show STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — Jennifer Jenkins grew up going to bull sales with her father, Bob. Now a full-time rancher near Twin Butte, Alta., she realizes those hours spent at shows and sales were his way of mentoring his daughter, who would take over as a full partner in the ranch. “When I was just little, it was the highlight of my whole year just to go to bull sales with Dad,” she said. He taught her how to show and how to evaluate cattle and made it fun. Jenkins always knew she wanted to be a rancher, although she almost considered going to school and pursuing another career. The ranch called and she returned. “People were not surprised when I said I was going ranching,” she said. “I didn’t spend a lot of time in high school because I was always off at a cattle show.” She is an only child and is working to keep the family heritage going. Being the rose among the thorns has never been an issue. Her father treated her with respect and she has paid her dues among the men she works with. “I don’t know if I think of myself so much that way,” she said.

“I have never really felt like I have been treated that much differently because I am a woman.” The family ranch started in 1888 when her great-great grandfather arrived with the North West Mounted Police. The Prince Edward Islander fell in love with the area and started a horse ranch. He also registered the brand J for all locations and the family has kept it since. Purebred and commercial Herefords were introduced in the early 1960s. The family has continued with the breed because the cattle work well in the rough and rocky terrain at the base of the Rocky Mountains. “The Herefords work good for us out there because they are an easy kind of keeping cattle with good hair coats and they seem to forage well,” she said. Jenkins started seriously showing cattle five years ago. Her partner, Jeff Henderson, is also a skilled groomer and fitter and can help when she leaves to compete. This year she had the grand champion Hereford at the Calgary Bull Sale, and at Farmfair in Edmonton she won premier breeder and exhibitor, which is based on points from the various classes shown. She won the same award at the event last year. “This is the strongest string of females we have exhibited in the last

number of years,” she said. “When we brought this string, all the calves are out of the same sire and the cows were a mother-daughter pair. It was exciting for us in that we were able to bring a cow family.” She likes the community atmosphere of these events, where she can meet new people who have similar interests. “You come to these things and it is not all about winning. It is about meeting people and networking and seeing other people’s cattle and getting your name out there,” she said. “It was always my life’s dream to be a rancher and be involved in the purebred business. I have lots of other interests, but that is where my heart lies.” Jenkins sits on the Alberta Hereford Association board and has become involved in environmental projects. The family decided to sell part of their land to the Nature Conservancy of Canada with a long-term lease for grazing. It was rolled into a large preserve that won an Alberta Emerald award several years ago for environmental stewardship. Last year, she and her neighbours started a Waterton River watershed group. “I really enjoy being part of those,” she said. “You always learn something new and we motivate each other.” access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

FARMFAIR | SHORTHORNS

Devotion to British breed pays off for ranching family EDMONTON — Wendy Bishop was up at 4:30 a.m. a few weeks ago working with her cattle when the sky burst into a cascade of northern lights. “What could be better than that?” she thought as she went about her chores on her farm near Holden, Alta. “Farming is the only way to go, the only way to live and the only way to raise a family,” she said following the Shorthorn show at Farmfair, held in Edmonton Nov. 5-13. The farm has kept the single mother of five close to her children and maintained ties to her Shorthorn heritage, which goes back more than a century when her great-uncle started with the breed in 1907. Her father, Tom Bishop of Gyaglen Shorthorns, took over the herd in 1945. Four generations of the family haven’t strayed from the solid British breed. “It’s my heritage,” she said.

now Nova Scotia. She also has the strength of powerful women before

her, including a grandmother who marched for women’s emancipation. Her farm is called Creekside Shorthorns and includes the Admiration and Yappy cow lines that go back to the ranch’s original cattle 100 years ago. Some of the Creekside cattle also have the Gyaglen prefix in their pedigrees. “Shorthorn are an intelligent breed and they are easy to work with,” Bishop said. Her 65 purebred and commercial Shorthorn cows are quiet and calve easily. They are traits she needs because she farms on her own and works as a nurse in a long-term care facility in Tofield, Alta. Bishop paved the way for her daughter and daughters-in-law, who enjoy showing and competing. The family offers custom fitting and showing. Her daughter, Whitney, an animal science student at Lakeland College in Vermilion, Alta., is a major

player alongside her mother. “Women look better in the ring,” said Whitney. Her mother said it was not always so welcoming. “We have to enter the men’s world carefully and show you know what you are talking about,” she said. Bishop has proved her worth. This year, her herd produced the grand champion female at the Olds Fall Classic show in October. That same female was reserve at Farmfair. She also won grand champion bull and reserve female at Lloydminster in November. The next trip is Canadian Western Agribition, where her Olds champion female has qualified for the supreme challenge competition. The family also runs Creekside Meats using Shorthorn genetics for their natural beef program. They also sell antibiotic free and hormone free chicken, pork and eggs.

SOUTH KOREA TRADE | PORK EXPORTS

Pork sector wants trade deal with South Korea stepped up Started talks in 2005 | United States recently signed a deal that could steal market share from Canadian pork exporters BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Barry Sutton, Maple Leaf Foods v i c e -p re s i d e nt, c o n s i d e r s i t a mystery. Despite increasingly urgent pleas from the $3 billion pork export industry that it is in danger of losing a $300 million market in South Korea, the otherwise trade-aggressive Conservative government has backed away from free trade talks with the Asian country. Meanwhile, the United States has negotiated a deal that will see import tariffs gradually reduced and disappear in five years, leaving Canadian exports at an impossible disadvantage. It takes effect early next year. But Canada-Korea talks, started in 2005, have been dormant since 2008. “It does seem out of character for this government,” Sutton told a Nov. 17 Parliament Hill news conference. “What’s concerning us is we’ve stepped away from the table. We don’t understand.” He joined Olymel executive Richard Davies, Canadian Pork Council president Jurgen Preugschas and

JURGEN PREUGSCHAS CANADIAN PORK COUNCIL PRESIDENT

Canada Pork International chair Edouard Asnong in calling on the Conservative government to restart talks with the South Korean government. Preugschas said the Conservative government has helped the hog industry weather bad markets and poor returns in recent years, but loss of the Korean market would undo much of that help, he said. On his own farm that produces 20,000 hogs per year, access to the Korean market is important for sales and prices. He also sells breeding stock to Korea. Olymel’s Davis said the U.S. deal, which only requires approval from

the South Korean parliament, will start a staged reduction in tariffs that quickly will erode Canadian competitiveness in the Korean market. By 2016, U.S. pork would have tarifffree access while Canada would face a 22.5 percent tariff on chilled and a 25 percent tariff on frozen pork, a $10 per hog disadvantage. But he said Canada’s ability to compete would end before then, as U.S. tariffs gradually decrease. “With this disadvantage, our Korean business will be gone within two years,” Davis said. Loss of that market, the fifth largest in volume and fourth largest in value, would hurt production and jobs at packing plants across the country including Maple Leaf in Brandon and Olymel in Red Deer. “It is urgent that we restart talks,” said Sutton. “We can’t wait any longer.” Since U.S. president Barack Obama personally intervened to get U.S.Korea talks back on track to a successful conclusion, there was some suggestion it could take a move by prime minister Stephen Harper to get Canada back in the game. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

New goat import rules could affect stock access BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Proposed changes to goat import regulations may affect Canadian producers’ ability to add new genetics to their herds. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has proposed that bucks imported from the United States be allowed only if both the Canadian producer and the source producer belong to scrapie certification programs, or if the buck comes from a herd with negligible risk status for scrapie. Bucks now need only general certification and health testing when imported from the U.S. As for does, new rules would require that the exporting American herd be enrolled in a scrapie certification program for at least three years and the importing herd be enrolled in the voluntary scrapie flock certification program for at least two years. Scrapie, a fatal brain wasting disease similar to BSE in cattle, is a reportable disease in Canada. It is incurable and can affect sheep and goats. Jennifer MacTavish, general manager of the Canadian National Goat Federation, said Canada has a voluntary scrapie flock certification program and is working on a prevalence survey so that a plan can be developed to eradicate the disease. “When you want to become free of the disease, you become less risk tolerant. As the U.S. becomes less risk

tolerant and we become less risk tolerant, the conditions under which we trade will change.” She said the U.S. is the primary source of new goat genetics in Canada. The industry supports efforts to protect flock health and eradicate scrapie, but there are potential concerns about the transition period as both countries ramp up scrapie plans. “There’s a balance that has to be struck between being able to access the genetics we need to keep the Canadian herd growing and genetically robust, and making sure that we’re not putting the herd at risk for any disease,” MacTavish said. “It’s a Catch-22 because if we can eradicate the disease, not only does it benefit herd health but it can also improve the ability of goat producers to trade internationally. But it’s a bit of a long haul to get there.” The goat federation is seeking input from producers so it can make a presentation to the CFIA about the proposed changes. Comments are needed by Nov. 30. Statistics Canada says there were 6,725 goat farms and 177,698 goats in Canada in 2006. The number has likely grown since then. Nineteen of those farms are enrolled in the voluntary scrapie flock certification program and 15 of those would now meet proposed requirements for importing bucks. Only seven U.S. herds would qualify for minimum risk status, according to goat federation statistics. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

AGRIBITION | BISON

Growing concern about disease Common thread found in deaths | Researchers keep an eye on respiratory disease among bison BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Respiratory disease has emerged as a significant cause of death in Alberta bison herds. “In my opinion, it’s the biggest single most significant disease affecting the North American bison industry,” said Dr. Roy Lewis, a veterinarian in Clyde, Alta., who is part of a team conducting autopsies on bison to identify causes of death. He told the Canadian Bison Association’s annual convention in Regina Nov. 20 that mycoplasma bovis was the killer in half of the study animals younger than 30 months and almost all of those older than 30 months. He described the pathogen as being between a bacterium and a virus. It doesn’t respond to antibiotics and grows slowly and insidiously. Autopsies show a condition similar to tuberculosis, with lesions in the lungs, that has developed for a long time. It compromises the animal’s immune system once it enters the lower respiratory tract. Producers will notice bison weight loss, heavy breathing, coughing, lameness and abortions. The disease is chronic and sometimes isn’t noticed until it is too late, Lewis said. Some animals may have had it without the producer’s knowledge. An outbreak in Saskatchewan 10 years ago resulted in 18 percent death loss, but the following year it was gone. A similar situation occurred in Kansas in 2004. Lewis said there were outbreaks in three of Ted Turner’s herds in the United States in 1999, 2003 and this year. In each case, the disease was there one year and gone the next. He also said that Turner’s herds are isolated and closed. No herd bulls have been brought in for at least 10 years. A research team comprising representation from Turner’s operations and the universities of Calgary and

Saskatchewan’s veterinary faculties will study the disease further. “Is it on the increase? I don’t know,” Lewis said. However, at least nine or 10 Alberta herds were affected in 2010-11, and there is a possible outbreak in Oklahoma. It’s possible that producers may need to keep new animals in quarantine for longer than they have been. Lewis described outbreaks that occurred after new animals were introduced, but there were also cases in closed herds. In one example, two groups of 30 cows and 50 cows were put together. There were 22 abortions and 13 dead cows, but only from the group of 50. He and others have many questions. Is there limited exposure to a mild carrier that prevents some bison from being infected? Is stress the problem? Would vaccination work? Why does it not reoccur? Animals placed in feedlots seem to be under more threat because of the stress and commingling. Researchers will be typing the m. bovis pathogen to determine which strain it is and whether a new strain is at work. Lewis said the disease’s appearance is unfortunate, considering bison producers worked hard to control trauma and parasites and improve nutrition in their herds. “Most of us were at the stage where everything was moving along ticketyboo,” he said. Dr. Murray Woodbury of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the U of S said commercial vaccines don’t appear to help, but if producers want to try them they should make sure to use a killed product. “With modified live virus vaccines, we actually knock those bison back,” he said, which gives pathogens such as m. bovis the opportunity to move in and take advantage. Producers who plan to process their animals anyway and vaccinate against IBR with a killed product might be preventing m. bovis by doing so, Woodbury added. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

AGRIBITION | CONSUMER ATTITUDES

Perception differs from reality Consumers have expectations | Industry suffers from ‘Disneyfication’ BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Photographs of bison roaming the prairie and grazing grass portray to consumers an image of how the animals are raised and their food is produced. But would they have the same perception if the bison industry used feedlot images in its marketing campaign, asked animal welfare professor Ed Pajor. People have expectations about how animals are raised, and those are driven by agricultural mythology. To many, the story of Old McDonald’s Farm still applies. Pajor, from the University of Calgary’s veterinary faculty, told the Canadian Bison Association convention of a request to a farmer from a Grade 2 teacher who was bringing students to his farm: Would he please wear his uniform of straw hat and overalls. Perception is reality for consumers

so far removed from the farm, he said. “Two to three percent have a connection to agriculture,” he noted. They don’t know what a family farm looks like but they expect it to be a certain way. Bison in feedlots likely don’t fit that image. Pajor said while there are extremists on both sides of the political debate around animal rights; most customers of bison producers are likely in the middle. They eat meat but they also expect a certain standard of care is met by producers. “Do you know your clientele and their values?” he asked. One producer pointed out that much of the problem is the attribution of human qualities to animals in movies and books. Pajor calls it the Disneyfication of animals. “How are you going to deal with it,

because that’s what you’re selling into,” he said. The bison industry hasn’t come under the scrutiny that others have but the day could come. Last week an American television program aired footage secretly taped at several locations of an egg supplier to McDonald’s restaurants. The footage showed cruelty to the birds, and the chain dropped one of its largest suppliers as a result. Pajor said large buyers such as restaurants and grocers have adopted certain standards at least in part because of pressure from certain groups. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals actually owns shares in McDonald’s and can attend annual meetings and influence the company’s choices. “It is now a show me, don’t just tell me, world,” Pajor said. People all along the food chain have to be able to demonstrate they are following the rules, he said. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

IT’S A

EDMONTON — Maureen MappinSmith had the sale of her career when her 10-month-old Simmental heifer sold for $21,500 in an all breeds sale at Farmfair in Edmonton. “We got lucky. All the stars lined up. This is the most money we ever got for an animal,” she said. “I really didn’t do much work with her. Harvest was late and I had to run the combine, but it worked out OK.” Mappins Easy To Love 115Y was also junior heifer calf champion at the national Simmental show Nov. 10 and interest was building by the time the Headliner show and sale started Nov. 11. This event invites exhibitors to enter their youthful cattle for a jackpot of up to $5,000. The buyer receives an equal payout. Heifers from seven breeds paraded before five judges, who independently scored each one. Every animal that showed was then sold with a resulting average of $5,917 on 24 head. Mappin-Smith’s solid red heifer placed in the top five at the show and drew keen bidding from the crowd and over the phone. Swan Lake Simmentals of Stoughton, Sask., was the buyer and later sold a partnership to Ashworth Simmentals of Oungre, Sask. This heifer received the attention it did because it has an outcross pedigree. It was an embryo transplant, but the transfer was done because they had leftover eggs and decided to use them up, Mappin-Smith said. The dam was a nine-year-old cow and the sire had been used for quite a few years on Mappin-Smith’s farm at Byemoor, Alta. A former banker and now a fulltime cattle producer, she is a fourth generation farmer who is willing to try new things. The flushing program started only four years ago. Mappin-Smith is also president of the Alberta Simmental Association and is keenly watching the genetic research the breed is conducting to study carcass quality and other valuable traits using DNA samples. Mappin-Smith and her husband, Eric Smith, farm full time with her parents, Albert and Jean Mappin. He works off the farm but helps on the grain side. While she is willing to run the seeder or the combine when needed, the cattle are her enterprise. The youngest of two sisters and a brother, she was the one who wanted

to be involved in a smooth passage from one generation to the next. “I’m just lucky my mom and dad wanted that and we were able to

work together. We all have the same vision,” she said. The family has used Simmental bulls since the 1970s and bought their first full blood in 1993. They have 220 purebred red and black cows, run an annual bull sale in March and exhibit at shows. The Farmfair sale has generated some buzz. “We have had more traffic in our bull pen and we have been getting (more) calls for heifers than we have ever had,” she said. Mappin-Smith speculates producers are replacing older stock and looking to rebuild the shrinking Canadian beef supply. “There’s a future in the business and in the past things were a little sketchy, but hang in there because things are going to get better,” she said. “It is a good time to be in agriculture because we have to feed the world.”

EDMONTON — The folks at Westman Farms have never veered off course, in good times or bad. The family operation of two brothers and their children have developed a bred heifer program that has placed their cattle across North America. “We have been doing this a lot of years and we plan to keep doing it for a lot of years,” said Derek Westman, who farms near Vermilion, Alta. The Westmans received the accolades of their peers when they won the people’s choice award for their pen of 10 bred Simmental-Angus cross heifers at Farmfair’s commercial show. The pen, which Murray and Derek Westman sorted and selected from their herd of 700, was also named grand champion while the other arm of the family, Doug and Kyle Westman, had reserve people’s choice with a second package. The champion heifers were sold at auction for $1,700 each.

The 21 entries of 10 heifers each averaged $1,500, above Canfax’s reported weekly price range of $1,100 to $1,450. The Westman family regularly enters competitions of this type, winning the Farmfair show last year and taking all the major awards at Canadian Western Agribition last year. They specialize in heifer development and offer an annual bred heifer sale in December. The heifers come with a full health program and a plan to calve in a 45 day period. “The last two years have been really good in the bred deal, but the last six or seven before that, it wasn’t a money making venture,” Westman said. “If we hadn’t had to keep heifers for ourselves to keep our own herd going, it wouldn’t have made any sense.” The family sources top Simmental, Angus and Hereford bulls because a good herd sire is the best way to infuse improvements into their closed cow herd. The family also crops 5,000 to 6,000 acres, which paid the bills in the dismal livestock years. They see renewed optimism as ranchers look to expand and replace older cows that are near the end of their productive lives. “We’re starting to get paid because the numbers are starting to come back in our favour. I believe that some of the best years are ahead of us,” said Westman, who is the fourth generation on the 85-year-old farm. “When your heart is in the cattle business, it is nice to see things start coming around. When you run around in circles and don’t get anywhere you start to question why I am doing this.” Jim Pulyk, manager at Nilsson Bros. auction in Vermilion, said the higher prices paid this fall have brought back excitement as well as changes to the industry. He suspects prices will continue to improve throughout the season as heifers sell for $1,700 to $1,800, a far cry from a few years ago when nobody wanted them. However, many producers are also older and prefer to buy cows over heifers because they do not have the time or energy to work with young females. “Nine times out of 10, you would be better off going with a set of heifers,” said Pulyk, who was buying packages of heifers at the Farmfair auction. Ranchers need to replace an aging cow herd, and Pulyk is watching the herds consolidate and grow larger in his trading area. Cattle operations in north-central Alberta were around 300 cows 20 years ago. Now herds are 400 to 800 head with some up to 1,500 on the short grass prairie. The auction is seeing a lot of herd dispersals because older producers want to retire, but producers who slaughtered cows a few years ago are buying new ones. Pulyk is also watching management styles change. Quality now matters more than colour and health programs are part of the whole package. “There are very few guys out there, especially with the large numbers, who don’t have a health program,” he said.

cines lose their effectiveness. “When antibiotics were introduced, we really did think it was the end of the infectious disease era,” said Don Low of Mount Sinai Hospital and Ontario Public Health. “We saw these drugs as the magic bullet (that) was going to solve a lot of our infectious disease problems and of course that wasn’t to be true. We saw a lot of misuse of antibiotics, overuse of antibiotics,” he said. Prudent antimicrobial human and veterinary use was the theme of the event, but it was agreed no one knows the extent of the resistance problem around the world. Still, human life expectancy has improved because of the ability to prevent and treat infections with better food, improved sanitation and use of antibiotics, said infectious disease specialist Jim Hutchinson of the Vancouver Island health authority. “Everything pales in comparison to dealing with infections,” he said. Before 1940, infections killed 6,000 children each year in Canada. “We are fighting for the ability to keep our kids from dying,” he said. At the moment, about 120 children die of infection each year. Antimicrobials also improved life on the farm where an array of treatments were available to combat bacterial infections as well as prevent disease and promote growth. However, many classes of antibiotics used in humans are also used in animals, including some of those considered by the World Health Organization to be critically important for humans. There is a push to make these animal drugs only available with a veterinarian’s prescription to control their use and slow the potential to pass on resistance between species. “This puts a lot of emphasis on the vet as a steward and we need to be aware of the veterinary profession living up to that,” said Scott McEwan of the University of Guelph. The alarm was first sounded in the

1960s when salmonella showed resistance to certain drugs in the United Kingdom. A further crisis emerged when bacteria showed resistance to powerful drugs like avoparcin and vancomycin in 1990. This precipitated a ban on antimicrobials for growth promotion in the EU. “The countries that have a lot of agriculture do tend to have proportionately more use of antimicrobials in food animals than humans,” said Richard Reid-Smith, veterinary epidemiologist with the Public Health Agency of Canada. Data collection an issue Some countries do a better job of monitoring use. Denmark and Sweden have fairly sophisticated information because livestock medications are available by prescription only and the data is reported. However, most countries do not do that and there are few standard operating procedures on how to collect this information. Most on-farm record keeping systems are not designed for antimicrobial use data collection. Few ask how much was used or how many animals were treated and for what reason, said Reid-Smith. However, surveillance on use is necessary to track trends and potential resistance issues, said David White of the United States Food and Drug Administration. Continued surveillance of antimicrobial use will help address problems quickly, he said.

Evolution of bacteria toward multiresistance is unstoppable at this point and after 50 years of use, science still does not know enough. “We have a huge brain trust across this globe and we have not made much inroad,” he said. The problem is everywhere, including the environment, said Agriculture Canada researcher Ed Topp. Ten years ago, the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) led by the Public Health Agency of Canada started to monitor livestock and poultry from the farm to the retail sector. It tested the level of bacteria and potential for resistance to certain antimicrobials considered to be of high importance in human medicine such as ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin. Samples did isolate salmonella, campylobacter and E. coli in beef, pork and poultry but the levels of resistance to antibiotics was generally very low. Collecting this information on a national basis is difficult and labour intensive, said Rebecca Irwin of the Public Health Agency, which helped develop CIPARS. On-farm information is elusive with the exception of Quebec, where all livestock medication is only available with a veterinarian’s prescription. “The reality is we have no clear mechanism to capture use information that was valid,” she said. There is also a threat of budget cuts and the program is not collecting samples in all the provinces.

CATTLE BACTERIA | DISEASES

Histophilus somnus bacteria linked to many cattle diseases ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

istophilus somnus is a species of bacteria that lives in the nasal passages and reproductive tracts of healthy cattle. It was first identified in 1960 as the bacteria responsible for infectious thromboembolic meningoencepahalitis (ITEME), a nervous disease that predominantly affects feedlot cattle. Since that time, many other disease manifestations have been associated with the bacteria, particularly in beef cattle. However, many mysteries still remain. Like other bacteria that can potentially cause respiratory disease, Histophilus somnus can be found in the upper respiratory tract of many normal cattle. It is also found in the reproductive tract of 50 percent of normal bulls and eight to 10 percent of normal cows. Studies have shown that a high percentage of cattle have antibodies to Histophilus somnus in their blood, which means they have been exposed to the organism despite not showing clinical disease. We understand many of the risk factors for the variety of diseases that this bacteria can cause, but it is still not clear why certain groups have outbreaks of disease and others do not. There is no doubt that many of the stressors that cause respiratory disease, such as weaning stress, transportation and mixing, play a role. This disease tends to be more common in northern climates and less common in feedlots in the southern United States. The original disease associated with this bacteria was known as ITEME, a nervous system form of the disease that primarily affected weaned cattle. Cattle might be found dead with no previous signs or they may be found down and unable to stand. The disease was originally called sleeper syndrome because the affected animal’s eyes were often partially closed and severe depression made it appear sleepy. The disease is caused when bacteria enter the blood stream and make their way to the brain. The bacteria damage or obstruct the blood vessels, resulting in a syndrome similar to a stroke. The two most common diseases currently associated with Histophilus somnus in weaned calves are myocarditis, an infection of the heart muscle, and pleuritis, an infection of the external lining of the lungs. Calves affected with these conditions often die suddenly without any previous illness being recorded or they may have been previously treated for respiratory disease. The deaths often occur after the initial round of respiratory diseases, and mortalities tend to cluster six to eight weeks after cattle arrive in the feedlot. Cattle affected with myocarditis access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

may show signs of a fever and depression. They may also show signs of heart failure, which might include mouth breathing, exercise intolerance and accumulation of fluid in the brisket region. They may collapse and die if forced to move. Similar to the neurological form, the bacteria damage the heart’s blood vessels and result in a syndrome similar to a heart attack or myocardial infarction. The pleuritis form results in a severe infection on the surface of the lungs that causes the lungs to collapse. Many affected animals are not identified until they are suddenly found dead.

Both conditions are common causes of mortality in weaned calves in Canadian feedlots and are commonly diagnosed by veterinarians post-mortem. As well, Histophilus somnus has been associated with many other disease syndromes. It is certainly part of the respiratory disease complex and is one of the bacteria that can cause pneumonia in younger baby calves and weaned calves. It often appears as part of a mixed infection of bacteria and viruses and is difficult to identify distinctly without doing bacterial cultures. Histophilus somnus has also been associated with inner ear infections in weaned calves, which shows up as

droopy ears and discharge from the ears and is often associated with respiratory disease. It is also a potential cause of infectious arthritis in feedlot calves and has been associated with reproductive disease in cows. How one bacteria can cause all of these different syndromes is still a mystery. It may be that different strains of the bacteria tend to manifest disease in different ways. Commercial vaccines are available for Histophilus somnus and many producers and veterinarians use them as part of their herd health program, especially in high-risk feeder calves. Clinical trial evidence shows that

these vaccines are capable of providing some protection, but they are clearly not the whole answer to preventing this complex of diseases. Producers who suspect that they may have diseases caused by Histophilus somnus in their cattle should consult with their veterinarian and have post-mortems performed if necessary. Vaccinations and feed medication are two potential strategies for dealing with this complex disease process. John Campbell is head of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

Wade Berlinic constantly receives calls from investors and farmers looking to buy farmland in Saskatchewan. “We have an ag group here and each of us is hearing from somebody new every week that we’ve never heard from before,” said Berlinic, agriculture division director with ReMax in Yorkton, Sask. “Frankly, we cannot get enough good, quality grain land to sell. The demand is far bigger than the supply.” The activity at Berlinic’s office reflects a trend in many parts of Saskatchewan. Farm Credit Canada found in its most recent report that farmland values jumped 11.6 percent across the province in the first six months of 2011. The report determined that farmland values increased 7.4 percent across Canada from Jan. 1 to June 30, 2011. Every province saw gains, with Saskatchewan prices increasing the most, followed by Ontario, which gained 6.6 percent. The 11.6 percent increase represents the largest gain ever for Saskatchewan farmland values, said Cathy Gale, FCC valuation manager in Regina. “We’ve been tracking this since 1985. It’s the largest six-month increase (for Saskatchewan).” Farmland values jumped 2.7 percent in the province in the second half of 2010 and 2.9 percent from Jan. 1 to June 30, 2010. The gains in Saskatchewan over the first six months of 2011 were exceptional when compared to other provinces: values increased 2.4 percent in

The Omaha branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City stunned observers when it released its cropland values report for the third quarter of 2011 in mid-November. The price gains in Nebraska, nearly a 40 percent increase over the last 12 months, shocked even Jason Henderson, who wrote the report. “It was a jaw-dropping increase

Manitoba and four percent in Alberta. Put in absolute dollars, Berlinic said high-quality grain land in the Yorkton area is now selling for $1,000 to $1,200 per acre. In other areas of the province, including the Regina plains, land is going for $1,200 to $1,500 per acre. However, prices are still low compared to other provinces, which is why Berlinic is a busy man these days. “We’re seeing local farmers, distant farmers, farmers out of province, people out of country, coming to buy it,” he said. “The same for investors. Not only local investors, but from a distance and out of province as well

…. It’s the combination of everything that’s never been seen before …. Right now, every different buyer type is active.” Gale said the Saskatchewan gains are driven by higher commodity prices and low interest rates. Farmers are also feeling more hopeful, she said. “We know a lot of people are expanding (their farms),” Gale said. “We do some of our own surveys … and a significant number of our customers … think that farming is going to be better in five years than it is right now.” Saskatchewan’s thriving oil and gas industry is another factor. Gale said more jobs, people and economic activity in places like Este-

van and Kindersley put upward pressure on land prices because folks are buying acreages or a quarter-section of land to live on. “We’ve got the oil and gas influence on both sides of the province now.” Gale said Saskatchewan land prices might not jump 11 percent or more in future six-month periods, but it’s hard to imagine that prices will drop soon because land in the province remains undervalued compared to the rest of Canada. “Our dollar per acre isn’t gigantic. That’s why when you look at a percentage change, it looks big,” she said. “There’s no reason to think, right now, that values won’t (continue to) increase.”

over the last year,” said Henderson, vice-president of the Omaha branch. When local media in Omaha called Henderson last week to talk about the increases, several reporters didn’t believe the figures. “They (reporters) said this couldn’t be true. I said, ‘OK, we’ve had land sell for $8,000 to $9,000 (per acre) in the eastern part of the state.’ ” Henderson determined that irrigated cropland values in Nebraska increased 40.6 percent from fall 2010 to autumn 2011, while non-irrigated land increased 38.3 percent. In the same period, cropland prices in Kansas increased 15 percent for irrigated land and 20 percent for dryland.

Financial analysts and media pundits have attributed the incredible price gains in Nebraska, along with double digit increases in the Midwest and the Northern Plains, to hedge funds, pension funds and other investors snapping up farmland in the region. However, Henderson said the role of funds has been overstated because most land buyers are local farmers looking to expand. “Where they have irrigated land, where they produce corn, that’s where we’re seeing huge gains in profitability,” he said. “That (profitability) is quickly being turned over … and the farmers are coming out and buying land.”

Economic turmoil around the world is having a negative impact on the bottom lines of two publicly traded Canadian pulse crop companies. Legumex Walker Inc. reported a net loss of $2.4 million in its first quarter of operations. “This uncertainty is definitely impacting our results in the nearterm,” said chief financial officer Anthony Kulbacki.

Alliance posted sales of $190.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $15.03 million for the quarter, up from sales of $169.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $9.2 million in the previous quarter. “With ample crop supply and recent reported increase of exports from many origins, we believe the outlook is positive through to the end of this year and into the 2012 year,” said Al-Katib. Both firms are poised for further expansion. Legumex Walker has $38.6 million of cash on hand and $30.25 million available in its operating lines of credit. “We’re very excited about bringing

additional companies into the Legumex Walker family of companies and we’ll be actively working on that and hope to see something happen in 2012,” said president Joel Horn. Alliance has $17.3 million of cash on hand and $60 million in unused operating lines of credit. Al-Katib said the company is well positioned for continued growth and diversification with a specific focus on value-added operations that will create food ingredients and packaged consumer products.

BUSINESS PLAN | PLAN B

Bouncing back from inevitable setbacks and discouragement THE BOTTOM LINE When something doesn’t work, forget about it and ask yourself, ‘OK, what’s Plan B?’ JOHN PICARD

GLENN CHEATER

ohn Picard’s early entrepreneurial career wasn’t exactly a bowl of cherries. Rather, it was one disheartening setback after another. Picard’s father, Jim, was a Canadian peanut pioneer when he began growing them on his corn and soybean farm near La Salette, Ont., in 1979 with the idea of selling to big processors. The Picards eventually discovered that American peanuts sold at half their price and responded by creating their own line of Ontario peanut products. However, few retailers were interested in stocking product from a small, unknown company, so Picard decided to sell direct and opened his first store in 1982, the same year frost wiped out his crop. Picard survived all that. The first store did well enough to justify opening a second, but he needed more sales, so in 1990 he went for broke and opened a third in Oakville, a prosperous Toronto suburb. “The thought was that we were ready for the big city,” he said. “But we didn’t have the product line. There wasn’t enough in our store to attract people. We tried getting in cheeses and other products, but the business model just wasn’t complete. It didn’t work.” Picard quickly cut his losses by closing the store and selling the property, but it looked like a dozen years of effort was about to end in tears. “It was getting tough to keep current. We were at the point where guys were coming around to appraise equipment,” he said. “So I went to my lender and laid it out for him: here’s where we were at and here’s Plan B. I argued it was a good plan and that increasing my loan was better than a fire sale. Luckily, I got the money I needed.” access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

PICARD’S PEANUTS

The Oakville experience laid bare Picard’s fundamental problem: he needed a much bigger product line. He used the additional line of credit to open a processing plant in a nearby town and began creating a dizzying array of peanut offerings. Along with in-shell, salted and beer nuts, he also made honey roasted, hot and spicy, chocolate-coated and barbecue varieties, as well as chip nuts, which have a crisp potato coating and come in 16 flavours. Picard’s Peanuts also offers cashews, raisins, coffee beans, pecans, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and 15 kinds of peanut brittle. The concept has worked like gangbusters and Picard’s eight stores now attract more than a half million shoppers annually. So is the lesson here that you need to learn from adversity? Partly. When Picard saw how cheap the competition was, he began buying their nuts. Valencia peanuts grown on the Picard farm still have a place of pride in his stores, but he’s also happy to sell Extra Fancy Virginia peanuts and Brazilian cashews. The years spent driving from store to store with a van load of nuts gave Picard a crash course in retailing, both in terms of what sells and what separates good retail operators from poor ones. These lessons are put to use every day in his stores. The most important lesson from what he calls “the interesting years” was learning how to shake off disappointment and then refocus and reinvent. “It took us more than 10 years to learn how to grow peanuts and then how to sell them,” he said. “But if you’re in business, you have to deal with disappointment all the time. What’s important is that when you run into a wall, you have to bounce off and keep moving.”

Picard started watching the TV show Dragon’s Den when his kids told him he’d get a kick out of it. For him, the most fascinating bit is how people react when the hosts stomp all over their fantastic ideas. “When one of those guys tells someone their idea stinks, my reaction is, ‘so what?’ When something

doesn’t work, forget about it and ask yourself, ‘OK, what’s Plan B?’ That’s why I say when you hit the wall, bounce off and keep moving.” Setbacks will happen, whether you’re blazing a trail like Picard or trying out a new crop or financing an expansion. When they do, you’ll have a choice: refuse to recognize the flaws

in your original plan, brood about how unfair life is or get moving on Plan B. Archived columns from this series can be found at www.fcc-fac.ca/learning.

CCA launches mentorship program Forging new leaders | Spinoffs can last a lifetime for cattle industry, say organizers BY SUSAN HODGES FREELANCE WRITER

It started as a pilot project in 2010 for young cattle enthusiasts in Alberta and has turned into a national program that organizers hope will help shape the future of the cattle industry. Fawn Jackson, co-ordinator of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s Young Leadership program, said the program was developed to help those aged 18 to 35 become more involved in the cattle industry. “Essentially, what happened was there was recognition at the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association of a lack of youth involvement, so what they decided to do was engage with the industry stakeholders and take a look at how they could get the youth involved,” said Jackson. The solution was a mentorship program with a $2,000 travel budget for each participant. “Each candidate gets a mentor in the field of their interest, as well as a $2,000 budget to go to different learning events over the year,” she said. “There are three different types of programs. There is the professional mentorship, industry mentorship and international mentorship.” Participants are selected in an application process between November and January. Applications are available online at www.cattlemensyoungleaders.com. The professional mentorship program is for those starting out in the business who may have finished or are starting university. They are matched with someone in their preferred industry. The industry mentorship program is for people who are already in business. They are matched with someone who is working in their industry and can help them network. The international mentorship program is for anyone who is already in the program. “It is an eight month program,” Jackson said. “First of all, we want to see them participate in industry events, meet with their mentors a few times and then complete their masters of beef advocacy. Essentially, it is an online course on beef advocacy and how to communicate about it.” The program will wrap up in Febru-

ary, but Jackson said the spinoffs can potentially last a life time. “The best thing about this is that they aren’t just mentors for eight months. The participants will keep them as a contact throughout their career.” Participant Jeff Braisher, 29, of Golden, B.C., said the program is invaluable to anyone who is looking at a career in the cattle industry. Braisher was partnered with Brenda Schoepp, who publishes BeefLink, wrote Straight from the Hip and is one of Alberta’s 50 most influential people according to Alberta Venture magazine. “My main focus is research and what I am focusing on is what research has already been done in the industry. It is interesting because there is a lot more happening than what you would be aware of just as a participant in the industry,” said Braisher. “Even before I was in the program, I was working on a data collection project and so through conversations with Brenda, it has honed where I am heading in that project. It has given me some new ideas on what the industry might need and where the industry may be heading.” Braisher has made two trips to Ottawa, including participating in the beef value chain round table. “That was a great experience and is an example of something I would have never been able to participate in otherwise,” he said. “There was representation from almost every segment from the beef industry and they were all focused on getting some real tangible results the minister of agriculture could actually use.” He said the participation of people like Schoepp in the program provides an amazing opportunity “These are all very busy people and her time is worth a lot, so to be able to get some of that time is incredible to me. She has taken the time to introduce me to people and set up meetings with people I would have never had the opportunity to do without her.” access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

ON THE FARM | SWITCH TO CATTLE

Producers see roles change with expansion More cattle, more management | Less time for hands-on work BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ITUNA, Sask. — Aaron and Adrienne Ivey are bullish on beef. In fact, they see a bright future for the entire agriculture industry. That’s why the couple, both in their 30s, have set deep roots on the family farm about 80 kilometres west of Yorkton. Along with Aaron’s parents, Bob and Karen Ivey, Adrienne and Aaron operate a 2,500 head feedlot and run a 1,000 head cow-calf operation near Ituna. For the Iveys, the farmland in this area is the land of opportunity. Since moving to the farm a few ago, Aaron and Adrienne have built a new house, expanded the land base, helped restructure the farming operation and started a family. The next generation to grow up on the Ivey farm includes daughter Noelle, 5, and son Cole, 3. Aaron and Adrienne, both graduates from the University of Saskatchewan’s college of agriculture, are in the cattle business for the long haul, and couldn’t be happier. Aaron, who grew up on the farm and went to high school in Ituna, moved home in 2001 after completing an animal science degree at the U of S. At the time, the Ivey farm was a mixed operation that included a small feedlot, about 60 cows and roughly 17 quarter sections of land used for grazing, hay and grain production. In 2002, the Iveys decided to expand the feedlot to 2,500 head. They also started converting more land to forage production. By 2004, when Aaron and Adrienne were married, BSE had been discovaccess=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

According to Aaron, there’s no better place to raise a family. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTO ered in Canada. To many, investing more in the beef industry would have seemed an unlikely choice. But for the Iveys, the decision made good sense. Cattle prices were low and the farm’s land base was suited for beef and forage production. After many late night meetings at the kitchen table, the Iveys made a collective decision to get out of grain farming and go all-or-nothing into beef. Today, about 50 percent of the animals that go through the Iveys’ feedlot are custom fed. The rest, depending on the year, are bought for finishing or come from the cow-calf side of the operation. “We had a fair bit of debate over the decision,” says Aaron.

“We just felt that we weren’t as competitive in grain and with our land base and the type of land that we’ve got, it’s just more suited to cattle. “Management-wise, we were finding that we were spread too thin and that we weren’t doing a good enough job of either.” In 2006, the Iveys harvested their last grain crop and the following spring held an auction to sell their grain equipment. Since then, they’ve expanded to 56 quarter sections, about 46 owned and 10 rented. The acquisition of la n d h a s e n a b l e d t h e Iv e y s t o expand their herd to 1,000 animals in a relatively short time. Newly acquired land is sow n immediately to a grass-forage mix-

ture that contains relatively high quantities of alfalfa. Cows and calves remain on pasture year-round. The herd starts grazing on standing forages as soon as the snow melts and plant growth is adequate. Animals stay on pasture as long as the weather permits, usually well into December. When winter grazing becomes too difficult, the herds are rotated to new paddocks for winter bale grazing. The Iveys put up about 4,500 hay bales this year. Ideally, the hay land is managed for two cuts, says Adrienne, who also works part-time from home as a sales and marketing co-ordinator for Brett Young Seeds. Calves usually aren’t weaned until

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

January or February. “We’re trying to maximize our (carrying) capacity and we also think it’s a better way to manage the calves,” says Aaron. “It’s a lot healthier for them and there’s a lot less stress if they’re out there with the cows.” Adrienne and Aaron enjoy the beef business because it requires managerial flexibility and the ability to generate new ideas. This year, Aaron and Adrienne are having some of their own animals finished in Alberta where feed is cheaper and unit feeding costs are lower. “This is the first year we’ve done that,” says Adrienne, who grew up on a grain farm near Tisdale, Sask. “We were always competitive out here in terms of feeding,” adds Aaron. “Barley has always been a lot cheaper out here, but this year there’s a smaller supply of barley around here and … a lot of it’s moving east into Manitoba.” With significant expansion over the past decade, work loads on the Ivey farm have increased and demands have changed. The family recently hired a second full-time employee and Aaron and Adrienne realize their roles and responsibilities are changing. “I find that I’m spending more time on management and less time feeding the cows and doing hands-on work, so that’s been an adjustment,” says Aaron, who also serves as president of the Saskatchewan Forage Council. Major decisions are still a family affair with Aaron, Adrienne, Bob and Karen sharing their views and voicing their concerns. “That’s one of the best things about having four of us involved is that everybody comes at every decision from a different angle,” says Adrienne. “There’s always at least one, if not three devil’s advocates, involved in every decision that we make.” And while spare time is rare, neither Aaron or Adrienne has ruled out the possibility of further expansion. “We ask ourselves that question all the time,” says Adrienne with a smile.

DIVERSIFICATION | ALPACAS, TOURISM

Teahouse, alpacas bring tourists to historic landmark House used for meetings and special events BY SHARON ESPESETH FREELANCE WRITER

Tom Saumer’s parents bought a quarter section near Onoway, Alta., in 1967, where they operated a mixed farm. “I was a very active as a toddling farmer at age four, and I milked my first cow when I was six,” he said. On another quarter in the same section stood a stately but neglected fieldstone house. Unique to the Prairies, it was built in the mid-1920s by Thomas Sharman, an English stonemason. Sharman moved his family to the Onoway district, where they successfully homesteaded and gained title to five quarters. While an abundance of fieldstones would have been a nuisance to most farmers, this stonemason with an eye for architecture began stockpiling them. The collecting phase lasted 20 years. He hired neighbours to gather and haul common rocks and later to help him build a large three-story home, still a local landmark. The Stewart family bought the home after a tragic fire and eventually became friends with the Saumers. The young Saumer grew up with an interest in the house. Meanwhile, Saumer became a musician teaching music in Onoway, where he leads a 16-piece big band

founded by his father, Joe. He met his wife, Carolyne, while both were singing in a musical stage production. “Our eyes met across the stage and it was love in front of an audience.” In 1990, the Saumers bought the quarter with the old stone house. They hayed the land and continued their other jobs, while Stewart remained in the house until his 94th year. Tom continued teaching and Carolyne worked at ManuLife in Edmonton. In 1998, Tom and Carolyne started Saumer Time Alpaca Ranch with four alpacas. They now have 85 alpacas, two-thirds of which are boarded for other owners. The Saumers operate an awardwinning breeding program and open their ranch for visitors. Tom’s mother, Joyce, tends the S.T.A.R. Store where alpaca products and works of local artisans are sold. “Our hottest items are alpaca felt insoles,” Carolyne said. Restoring and preserving the stone house became the young couple’s mission. It sat empty while the Saumers researched, planned and organized an extensive restoration. The Sharman House, with its sixacre yard, was officially designated an Alberta Provincial Historic Site in the spring of 2007. Restoration began the following

January. They gutted the interior and cleaned it of beehives, cobwebs and bat scat. The plan was to keep everything as authentic as possible. The original oak floors, the front stairs and fir trim and fireplace are original. New Roman shades grace many of the 32 windows, including dormers and bay windows. The drywall, electrical and plumbing are modern, but the Saumers installed antique tubs in both bathrooms. While they still live at the family farm, Carolyne feels at home enough in The Old Stone House Teahouse & Meeting Place to sleep there occasionally or use it as a guest bedroom. The teahouse allows her to use the planning and people skills she learned on the job at ManuLife. A friend helps with the baking and Carolyne does the cooking. A guest chef from British Columbia comes several times a year for special events. Carolyne said caring for the alpacas, renovating the stone house, maintaining it, cooking and marketing have involved “lots of learning.”

TREATMENT OPTIONS | BLOOD TESTS, DRUGS

Treating osteoporosis HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Reports on my bone density show that I have osteoporosis. I am female in my late 70s. I am told my risks of having any type of fracture is 18 percent and for hip fracture it is 6.3 percent. My doctor has given me the choice of Vitamin D 200 IU daily and calcium 1,200 to 1,500 daily or an intravenous treatment for 20 minutes, which can last for several years. However, my blood tests have to be in order and it will cost $700. I have never heard of this procedure before. Do you know anything about this?

I have an elderly uncle in England who has been taking these intravenous treatments for years. They been around in the United States as well but have only recently been approved for use in Canada. The drug is known as zoledronic acid, with the trade name of Reclast, and it is related to the oral biphosphonate medications. However, many people stop taking the oral drugs because of the difficulty of standing for an hour after swallowing the pill and drinking a full glass of water each time. This has to be done once a week or once a

month, so it might be more convenient to have a once yearly intravenous infusion given in the doctor’s office. A study performed at the University of California in 2007 found that Reclast IV reduced hip fractures by 41 percent and spine fractures by 71 percent. The intravenous drug even slightly outperformed the oral medications, Fosemax and Actonel, over a three year period. Both the pills and the intravenous medications can cause kidney problems, which can be measured by an increased blood creatinine level. This is why your doctor wants the blood tests done first. Reclast is also linked to a slight risk of serious atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat, and a small increase in inflammatory eye events has been found within the first 15 days after infusion, as reported with other bisphosphonates. These conditions have been successfully resolved in the past with outpatient treatment. I think I would prefer the Vitamin D and calcium option because there are less side effects. Don’t forget to do some weight bearing exercises. Statistics can be a bit misleading. Women your age break bones even if they do not have osteoporosis. Avoiding falls is the best way to prevent fractures. That may mean slowing down. Don’t be in too much of a hurry because that is when accidents happen.

Program presents ranchers’ stories

Clean house with family

Growing food, protecting environment | Short films explain how ranchers grow food, protect land BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — There were no red carpets, designer dresses or glittering celebrities at a special film premiere held during the recent Farmfair show in Edmonton. Instead, the stars were ordinary people talking in three minute vignettes about their connection to the land. Alberta’s Cows and Fish program sponsored and produced the digital story telling project as a way to show the public what ranchers do to pro-

duce food while protecting the land and water. “Stewardship is health care for the land,” said executive director Noreen Ambrose. “Farmers and ranchers were environmental stewards before the celebrities discovered it,” added agriculture minister Evan Berger. Ranchers Enhancing Alberta’s Landscapes, or REAL Beef, featured seven stories, including one from a consumer devoted to local food. The others were men and women who shared pictures, music and three minutes’ worth of personal narration

a b o u t w hat t h e y hav e d o n e t o improve their property. “We are all just tenants of God’s country,” Tony Bruder said in his film God’s Country, in which he talked about his life on the ranch near Pincher Creek, Alta. “I know my neighbours, but the consumers don’t know me,” he said. Erin Butters of Cochrane, Alta., talked of how she and her family protect the water on its way to Calgary, while Sean McGrath of Vermilion, Alta., shared his life as a fifth generation rancher who is rebuilding the landscape for his children.

Don Ruzicka of Killam, Alta., called his film, I want to be your farmer. He talked about encouraging wildlife to come back after he noticed in 1989 that no meadowlarks sang on his place. He began to restore the landscape using a dedicated holistic management plan. He counted 41 species of wildlife on his ranch in 2004 and 84 four years later. Eleven years later, meadowlarks returned. Cows and Fish has produced 50 short features, which can be viewed at www.cowsandfish.org. The next public viewing is scheduled for March in Lethbridge. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

I would like our family to start helping me keep our house neater than it is. In fact it is a terrible mess most of the time. Coats are seldom hung up by the door, the kitchen counter is always messed whenever someone has a snack, the TV room is cluttered the morning after the night before when everyone was watching movies, and everything is just out of place. I have read that some moms go on strike to get the help they need. Boy, that sounds tempting. Does it work? What do you think?

My experience is that a kitchen strike does not help spur a decrepit family into action. You might get a short-lived spurt of enthusiasm when the strike begins, but the momentum does not last and chances are that the strike will cause more family dissension than it will harmony and co-operation. I understand that you are angry and frustrated with your family. It is bad enough that no one helps you, but even worse is that no one knows or appreciates the tremendous effort you are making to just keep your house livable. Wouldn’t it be great if you got even just a little bit of respect? The problem is that your anger and frustration are not likely of any help. If anything, they scare your family and the chances of getting warm and fuzzy moments disintegrate. Rather than respect , you are more likely to be called a nag and even mocked when you need help the most. Your chances of getting help around the house greatly improve if you are able to give your plan a positive spin. Instead of hollering, “you did not hang up your coat,” try saying, “I would really like it if you hung up your jacket by the door.” Don’t say, “this kitchen is a mess.” Instead, try “I wonder what we could do to make the kitchen more neat and tidy.” And don’t forget to give your family tons of hugs if you get even a bit of an effort from someone trying to help. It is amazing how many negatives can be turned into positives if we put our creative talents to use. Your teenager’s room is no longer a pig’s sty, which is what moms and dads have been saying for years. It is a challenge. The TV room is a sanctuary, the bathroom is a paragon of hygiene, and the kitchen is the command centre, the heart of any family. You won’t get complete results by working on the positives, but you will feel better about yourself. That is the gem your kids will carry with them when they leave home and discover, when they have families of their own, the wisdom of all you have been trying to do. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none
