BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

After weeks of rancorous debate regarding the fate of the Canadian Wheat Board and an avalanche of contentious words like “steamrolling”, “Big Brother” and “court

injunction,” western Canadian cereal growers are craving another word to describe Canada’s grain industry: certainty. Last week, the board’s fate became less certain when a Federal Court of Canada judge ruled in favour of CWB directors and an advocacy group, Friends of the CWB. Judge Douglas Campbell ruled Dec. 6 that agriculture minister Gerry Ritz broke the rule of law by introducing legislation this fall to end the board’s single desk marketing system without consulting the board’s directors or holding a

producer plebiscite. The judge’s decision heartens CWB supporters but the likelihood of several more months of uncertainty, including a government appeal of the ruling, is complicating the lives of producers who have mixed feelings about the board. “There are those people who believe that life ends after the wheat board is gone…. And then there are people, like me, in the middle who just want things to settle out so we can do business,” said Curtis McRae, who farms 4,500 acres and grows 1,000 to 1,500

acres of wheat annually with his brother Mac north of Winnipeg. In a normal year, McRae would have already made a decision regarding his acreage intentions for 2012. But without marketing certainty he’ll have to play it safe this spring and stick to his basic rotation. On the marketing side of his business, if he knew the board’s monopoly would end this summer, McRae could forward sell a portion of his wheat crop. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Wheat board wrangling leaves many producers in confusion Market uncertainty | Farmers want to know how to carry on with business

CHICAGO — Western Canadian farmers can expect a drier winter and spring than last year unless a “blocking situation” develops over Greenland, says a weather expert. La Nina will once again dictate winter and spring weather patterns, although it is not expected to be as powerful as last year’s event, which was the strongest since 1955. “It is typical to have a second year of La Nina after you’ve had a real strong year,” said Bryce Anderson, an agricultural meteorologist with DTN, a markets information firm. “We’re not looking at another historic level type of La Nina event like we were a year ago, but it certainly is around.” It has a better than 50 percent chance of having enough intensity to stick around well into spring, according to a weather expert Anderson follows at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Legal decision creates chaos “I could (right now) lock in profit on wheat for off the combine next year…. Wouldn’t it be nice to put down 20 percent of your wheat crop and know that you’re going to make money on that amount of wheat?” he asked. “I won’t have that ability… until things flow through the courts.” McRae’s perspective on the CWB conundrum represents the majority of producers in Manitoba, said Doug Chorney, Keystone Agricultural Producers president. “We need to know what’s going to happen, how it’s going to happen and when it’s going to happen,” he said.

The transition to a new marketing system is already costing farmers money because futures markets have sold off and farmers can’t price grain, he added. “People that already have winter wheat in the ground probably wish they could price some.” But from another perspective, Chorney said the federal government isn’t being forthright when it claims that Bill C-18, the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act, will smoothly come into effect in August of 2012. “If it (the court ruling) doesn’t matter, why are they appealing it? It does matter then. So which is it? It makes you wonder what the real situation is.” Garth Burns, a producer from Drake, Sask., agreed that the federal government is hastily driving along a timeline that might not be realistic. “I’m kind of concerned that it’s proceeding too fast. I’m wondering if everything is going to be in place (in

time),” said Burns, who farms 6,000 acres and grows 2,000 acres of wheat each year with his son-in-law. Regardless, Burns remains optimistic that the current chaos won’t have a drastic or detrimental effect on western Canadian farmers in 2012. “We (prairie producers) grow high quality milling wheat, which is in demand all over the world. I’m very hopeful that we won’t have a problem with selling our grain.” On the merchandising side of the business, Canadian grain companies also remain optimistic that marketing freedom will come to Western Canada in 2012. “We’ve got to look at what the decision says and what it doesn’t say,” said Jean-Marc Ruest, vice-president of corporate affairs and legal counsel for Richardson International Ltd. “What it doesn’t say is that C-18… isn’t valid…. And we’ve got a government that has stated quite clearly that it intends to proceed.” Assuming court battles over the board drag on for several months, grain companies might have to sign forward contracts with producers that contain precautionary language, Ruest said. “Parties will have to figure out… how they might word their contracts to cover the possibility… of not being able to execute on their purchase as planned. But I think the trade (industry) is going to be able to position themselves to deal with the matter prior to Aug. 1, 2012.

FULL MOON SPOTLIGHTS A CHRISTMAS SCENE

La Nina gathers strength: expert “If the U.S. model is correct, we could go from a moderate La Nina to a pretty strong one during the rest of this winter,” Anderson told farmers attending DTN’s Ag Summit. If that is the only factor influencing weather patterns this winter, then farmers on the Canadian Prairies and U.S. northern Plains can expect a vast improvement over the soggy spring seeding conditions some experienced last year, although they could be in for a cold winter. It would mean heavy moisture for the eastern portion of the U.S. corn belt and dryness in the western portion. That is not good news for corn and soybean growers in the eastern corn belt, who have been struggling with wet springs for the last two years. “Some of you here planted well into June last year. That may be in the cards again the way things are appearing right now,” said Anderson. There would be drought relief for the eastern portion of the U.S. southern Plains, where extraordinarily dry conditions cost the Texas farm economy an estimated $5 billion this year. “We’ve started to see a little bit of moisture work into that part of the country, nibbling away at the edges of that drought,” he said. However, a big wild card known as the North Atlantic oscillation could turn Anderson’s predictions upside down. A negative North Atlantic oscillation occurs when there are consistently higher barometer readings in Greenland or Iceland compared to the Azores, an island group in the mid Atlantic. When that happens, it creates what Anderson called a “blocking situation,” a standing area of high pressure over Greenland that causes cold air pooling over central Canada. This drives the polar jet stream further to the south and diffuses the southern branch of that jet stream. The combination of an historically strong La Nina and a negative North Atlantic oscillation created last spring’s unusual weather patterns that saw extreme flooding in the northern Plains and Western Canada and record drought in the southern Plains. It is what led to Montana receiving 600 percent of its normal rainfall and the eastern corn belt, the northern delta and the southwest Plains receiving 200 percent of normal. “The influence of blocking cannot be overemphasized in relation to what we saw last year and to some extent two years ago as well,” said Anderson. While there are no immediate signs of a blocking situation, a negative North Atlantic oscillation can develop in a matter of weeks. How big an influence the blocking feature has on weather patterns depends on its staying power. If it develops and has staying power, then farmers can expect a repeat of last year’s winter and spring weather patterns, which means more flooding in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and North Dakota and more drought in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

EXPORTS | BORDER ACCESS

Ag exporters back new border deal Livestock shipping will be easier | Trade pact eliminates multiple inspections at border BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

They haven’t signed their names in blood or written them on legally binding contracts, but agricultural exporters say the Canada-U.S. border co-operation agreement puts the names of Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper and U.S. president Barack Obama on the line. They hope that means the deal to clear away many delays and red tape at the border is more than just friendly words. “It comes from the prime minister and the president directly, so that gives us hope,” said James Laws, executive director of the Canadian Meat Council. Travis Toews, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said the Action Plan on Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness has support from on high, so government officials will probably commit to implementing it. “When the highest offices in the nation identify this as a priority, it becomes a priority,” said Toews. The deal announced Dec. 7 commits Canada and the U.S. to reducing border trade frictions and improving North American domestic security. Many analysts see it as a case of the U.S. being willing to reduce trade tensions to get more support from Canada on security matters. The improvements to trade that will help farmers are: • emphasis on developing electronic

approvals for livestock • standardization of veterinary drug approvals and pesticides • developing a zone-based disease response approach that will prevent entire nations being locked down because of a local outbreak of animal disease • eliminating multiple inspections for meat products, especially at the border. In a statement, the Farmers of North America Strategic Agriculture Institute heralded pesticide standardization. “This should prevent the debilitating price discrimination that at times has forced Canadian farmers to pay double for the same product sold by the same company on both sides of the border,” it said. Laws said eliminating multiple inspections for meat makes sense because meat needs to flow quickly to be safe, and multiple inspections do nothing to improve food safety. “The meat industry already has inspections and protocols that the other food sectors don’t have, so they

need to reallocate some resources,” said Laws. Simplifying trade and eliminating unnecessary red tape also makes sense for both governments, which are struggling with deficits. “Because of the troubled situation, they realize they’ve got to keep the economy moving between our countries,” said Laws. “If you can get rid of a few irritations and costs, that can still add up to billions.” Since the terrorist attacks of 9-11, cross border trade of many products, especially food and livestock, has become more complicated. For years after free trade was adopted, trade flowed more easily. But the security clampdown after the attacks caused many problems. Other regulatory problems, such as country-of-origin-labelling (COOL), erupted for reasons many saw as protectionist and political. Farm leaders were cheered by the commitment made by leaders of Canada and the U.S. to change course. “For anything that needs export access, and that’s most of what we produce in Manitoba, this is good,” said Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers. “Homeland Security; that’s a department that never existed before 9-11. They have thickened the border and made it less accessible for Canadians.” Manitoba Pork Council general manager Andrew Dickson said the

real-world impact of tight border regulations is absurd wastes of resources in the country. “It involves veterinarians signing things off and running around the countryside delivering pieces of paper,” said Dickson. “It’s expensive.” While the agreement to iron out border wrinkles is progressive, Dickson said it’s hardly revolutionary. “The EU’s worked these kinds of things out. A lot of trading blocs have worked these kinds of things out. We are the biggest trading bloc in the world and we need to work these things out,” said Dickson. “These are straightforward things. There’s absolutely no reason why we can’t work these things out.” Toews said eliminating border waits and red tape will let more animals cross the border and allow more Canadian livestock to be processed in Canada and shipped into the U.S. “The duplicate meat inspections are a big deal at the border. That reinspection simply slowed down the whole distribution timeline and it went backwards on food safety because of the time that meat was held up,” said Toews. Chorney said he hoped the agreement would bring Canada/U.S. relations back to a pre-9-11 basis for farmers. “We became used to easy and fairly loosely regulated access to the U.S. (before the terror attacks),” said Chorney. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | COURT RULING

Ottawa to carry CWB bill forward despite ruling PM stands firm | Federal court rules agriculture minister Gerry Ritz breached “the rule of law” STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Despite a strongly worded reproach from a Federal Court judge, the Conservative government insists its bill to dismantle the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly will be through Parliament and into law this week. The Senate wrapped up committee hearings Dec. 12 and was scheduled to complete final debate and a vote late Dec. 15, just before Parliament rises for a six week Christmas break. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz insisted last week he intends to make sure Bill C-18 is proclaimed into law by the end of the year, probably within days of its final passage. However, in the political turmoil created by the hasty court ruling, farmers and the wheat board were musing last week about a last minute attempt to apply for a court injunction against proceeding with the legislation. Ritz dismissed the court ruling as a “declaration. We disagree with it.” A court injunction would be more difficult to ignore, although the Federal Court ruling said it was not challenging Parliament’s ability to change laws and CWB chair Allen Oberg said last week injunctions are difficult to get. T h e f e d e ra l g ov e r n m e nt ha s launched an appeal of a Dec. 7 Winnipeg judgment from justice Douglas Campbell that concluded Ritz breached “the rule of law” as set out in the 1998 CWB Act by not holding a farmer vote as required by existing legislation. “The minister will be held accountable for his disregard of the rule of law,” wrote Campbell. Ruling stuns Ottawa The 21-page ruling, delivered less than 24 hours after he heard arguments on the case, landed like an incendiary bomb on Parliament Hill, where the Senate agriculture committee was holding hearings on the bill. The House of Commons had passed it Nov. 28. Opposition politicians in the Commons and Senate moved unsuccessful motions that debate on the bill and final approval be suspended until a final court judgment comes. Oberg was succinct in his demand during a Dec. 8 Senate committee meeting. “The Federal Court of Canada issued a ruling that minister Ritz broke the law when he denied farmers a vote before taking steps to dismantle the CWB single desk,” he told senators. “The court ruled that Bill C-18 was brought before Parliament in an illegal manner. We therefore ask today that you reject this bill, suspend these hearings and request that a

producer vote be held to decide the issue.” Across the street at the same time, National Farmers Union president Terry Boehm was calling for Ritz to resign. And the Conservatives were digging in, insisting that the court ruling changed nothing. Interim New Democratic Party leader Nycole Turmel demanded in the Commons Dec. 8 that the government slow down and consult farmers as the existing law requires. “ Yesterday, the Federal Court handed down its ruling: the Conservatives broke the law,” she said. “The government is acting illegally. That is what the ruling states.” She demanded that the government hold a farmer vote. “The law is the law.” Prime minister Stephen Harper did not budge. “It is always the authority of the government, acting through Parliament, to change law,” he responded. “That is of course precisely what we are doing in this case, which we have the clear legal right to do, and not only the clear legal right, but the clear mandate from western Canadian farmers.” Oberg called Ritz’s actions “reprehensible.” Boehm called them “odious.” In the Commons, Ritz responded with his own spirited defence, claiming that the NFU is the only prairie farm group opposing the government proposal to end the single desk. The government will not bend. “Fortunately, farmers in Western Canada know how to market their crop in 2012,” he said. “They will have the option of marketing through a voluntary Canadian Wheat Board at the same address, using the same people they have always done, or they will have the opportunity to market individually. They can go to their best bottom line for their industry and market accordingly.” However, the court ruling threw a wrench into Conservative plans for a triumphant week leading to passage of the bill, including a decision by Ritz to skip a World Trade Organization meeting in Geneva Dec. 15-17 so he could be in Ottawa for the royal proclamation. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | GRAIN HANDLING

Short lines safe: rail officials Canadian National Railway assured farmers they will provide producer cars if needed While some short-line railways and supporters warn that the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly will hurt them, national railway officials were in Ottawa to offer some assurances. Senior Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railway officials were at the Senate agriculture committee Dec. 7 to insist the grain handling and transportation system will continue to function efficiently. “While the removal of CWB’s role in transportation will bring changes in many grain supply chain relationships, please rest assured we will be ready to adapt to the changes by August,” said CN vice-president of network strategies François Hébert. He also insisted that short lines will remain a key part of the system if farmers continue to use them to move their grain. “We are confident that these lines will remain viable in a post-CWB environment.” Michael Adams, general manager of grain marketing for CPR, said the same promise holds for producer cars in the new system. “If producers continue to input their service requests through the Canadian Grain Commission, we will continue to place cars against those orders,” he said. “We see no change in that. It is a relatively small part of our business

but it is an important part of our share and we are not prepared to let it go.” For Conservative questioners, it was what they wanted to hear. Prince Edward Island Conservative senator Mike Duffy asked if the critics are correct that smaller country elevators should have guaranteed access to rail service and port storage. Adams said CPR believes in the power of the commercial system. “We are confident that this change opens up options for farmers and helps progress the industry to a more current commercial environment.” Duffy approvingly took that to mean: “If there is a buck to be made, you will be making it. You are doing business with everyone you can.” But Nova Scotia Liberal senator Terry Mercer was not satisfied with the optimistic answer. “Do you see any weaknesses in the

system or do we need to add regulations or some guidelines to protect the small farmer, the small producer, in the system so he or she has continued access to reasonably priced cars in a timely fashion?” he asked. Adams said no and suggested the opponents of the CWB move should not be so afraid. It worked for CN after it was privatized. “Honestly, I think the Canadian government has found a balance between regulation and free market, protecting shippers and making sure profits are made to reinvest,” said the CN executive. “I think we have found a very good balance. I have learned that change has been good and less regulation has been good too. I think the producers are very well protected the way it is because we want grain to move, we want their grain.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Export markets an option for CWB Wheat board would handle sales overseas BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The idea has been around for years, but it got one more trip around the track last week as a possible compromise in the bitter Canadian Wheat Board debate. University of Saskatchewan agricultural economist Murray Fulton suggested to the Senate agriculture committee Dec. 8 that an alternative to the current all-singledesk-or-nothing approach would be to give wheat and barley farmers an open market in North America with the CWB as the sole overseas marketer. “Such a policy option would allow farmers to sell their wheat and barley directly to pasta plants, maltsters and flour mills in North America, thus allowing market forces to guide economic activity and innovation,” he said. “This option also ensures that the CWB remains a major player in the industry, a player that is able to provide countervailing power, particularly (against) the railways and important public goods.” However, Fulton said it is a compromise that would have to be decided now because trade rules won’t allow the wheat board’s monopoly powers

to be reintroduced once they are lost. He sounded pessimistic. “The compromise I am discussing will not occur as long as farmers, the industry and government each believe there is only one solution.” Fulton said the government’s rush to end the single desk is not a good idea because of market imbalances in the grain industry. “With removal of the Canadian Wheat Board, both the grain companies and the railways will have significant latitude to raise prices,” he said. “Since the conditions for a wellfunctioning market are not present, full-scale deregulation of the grain handling and transportation system is, in my opinion, a poor public policy decision.” He said economic analysis suggests the result would be “to both reduce the overall size of the pie that is available to participants and to reduce the size of the slice that is available to farmers.”

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | COURT RULING

Ritz faces rough day in court; how it unfolded Ag minister failed to hold farmer vote | Bill C-18 OK, but government process to push bill through is not, court rules BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Pundits, producers and political watchers continue to debate the ruling of Federal Court of Canada judge Campbell Campbell, who concluded that federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz disregarded the rule of law when he failed to hold a farmer vote before introducing a bill that would dismantle the single desk marketing system of the Canadian Wheat Board. On Dec. 7 Campbell ruled in favour of the board directors and a farmer advocacy group, Friends of the CWB. The two parties took the federal government to court because Ritz didn’t consult with the board or hold a farmer plebiscite before introducing Bill C-18, which terminates the board’s monopoly on food quality wheat and barley sales. Campbell’s decision came a day after a judicial hearing in Winnipeg, in which nearly 60 people, including 10 members of the media, packed into a courtroom inside a downtown office building to hear arguments from lawyers on both sides. The crowd, including a dozen gathered in an overflow room, heard two hours of arguments from lawyers representing the applicants, an hour of presentations by lawyers for two interveners, the Council of

Canadians and the Producer Car Association, and a 2 1/2 hour response from federal government lawyers. John McDougall, lawyer for CWB directors at the hearing, said he wasn’t there to question the validity of Bill C-18, which passed third reading in the House of Commons in early December. Nor did McDougall question the government’s right to repeal or amend existing legislation. This case, he said, is about the interpretation of Section 47.1 of the Canad i a n W h e a t B o a rd A c t , w h i c h became law in 1998. Section 47.1, a component of amendments to the Act, states the minister of agriculture must hold a producer plebiscite or consult with

board directors before including or excluding grains from the board’s monopoly. Nonetheless, McDougall said, it’s clear the intent of the Liberal government of the time, which crafted the amendments, was to give producers more control over the board. Therefore, that context, and not just the wording in Section 47.1 should be used to interpret the objective of the law. “Leave it (managing the CWB) to the farmers,” McDougall said, summarizing the legislative intention at the time. In response to McDougall, Attorney General of Canada attorney Robert MacKinnon said that Section 47.1 must be interpreted exactly as it reads. That is, the agriculture minister is required to hold a producer plebiscite only if he is removing or adding a grain from the board’s monopoly. Therefore, it’s not reasonable to infer that the legislative intent of the act was to give producers authority over the board’s future. If that was the federal government’s intent, it should have been spelled out explicitly, within the act, he said. “There’s no authority here for the CWB or producers to restrain Parliament.” In his ruling, Campbell agreed with McDougall’s argument that Section

47.1 must be taken in context. Based on his analysis of legislators’ comments from the late 1990s, Campbell concurred that lawmakers intended to transfer board control to farmers. Further, Campbell rejected the government’s argument that Section 47.1 must be interpreted precisely as it reads. “(It’s) unreasonable to interpret the act to conclude that while the minister must consult and gain consent when extracting or extending a grain, she or he is not required to consult or gain consent when dismantling the CWB,” Campbell wrote. “Manner and form” legislation When attorney Anders Bruun, representing the Friends of CWB, made his case, he acknowledged that Parliament cannot bind future lawmakers. In other words, politicians can’t pass legislation that prevents future l aw ma k e r s f ro m a m e n d i n g o r repealing that legislation. However, lawmakers can pass “manner and form” legislation which establishes a procedure for changing laws. The example from this case of manner and form is holding a producer plebiscite before passing legislation to end the board’s monopoly. Joel Katz, Attorney General of Cana-

da counsel, countered that Parliament must have the sovereign authority to repeal or amend existing acts. Furthermore, the lawmakers who amended the Canadian Wheat Board Act in 1998 had no intention of binding Parliament, in perpetuity, to Section 47.1. “Parliament never intended to restrict the ability of Parliament to change (the CWB),” he said. Katz also questioned whether the Federal Court of Canada had a right to hear the case. The court is mandated to review the activities and decisions of government boards, agencies and commissions, but not the legislative activities of members of Parliament, he said. “The Minister (Ritz), in introducing a bill, was acting as an MP,” he said. “Legislative decisions are only subject to review by the electorate.” In spite of those arguments, Campbell ruled that legislators aren’t above the courts or the law. As well, statutory interpretation must incorporate both democratic and constitutional values. “In this case this is especially important,” Campbell wrote. “In proposing that fundamental change be made to the (CWB) structure, the minister must act democratically. This is what 47.1 says. Not adhering to these values is not only disrespectful, it is contrary to law.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Housing bubble threatens market Chinese economy slows | Growth in consumption not keeping pace with gross domestic product STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CHICAGO — A slowdown in Chinese demand is the one factor that could cool off hot grain markets. Nicholas Lardy, senior fellow with the Petterson Institute for International Economics, says it is a distinct possibility. Lardy, who was introduced to delegates attending DTN’s Ag Summit as America’s leading expert on the Chinese economy, said the growth in China’s economy is deceiving. On the surface, it appears as if nothing could temper an economy that has been expanding at an average of 9.9 percent a year for the past 30 years. “That is the longest, most rapid period of growth for any economy in recorded history,” he said. However, even China’s leaders say the economy has been imbalanced of late because the growth in consumption is not keeping pace with the growth in gross domestic product. Lardy said that is because the amount of money socked away in personal savings has increased dramatically. People have been setting aside 36 percent of their after-tax income over the last five years compared to 29 percent in the seven previous years. A lot of that money is invested in housing, with 10 percent of China’s gross domestic product spent on real estate. “When I was a professor and I gave numbers to students, I said, ‘you always have to ask if 10 percent is a big number or a small number.’ It’s a very big number,” said Lardy. To put it in perspective, the amount of GDP invested in housing peaked at six percent in the U.S. during the first half of the 2000s, leading to the housing bubble and a painfully slow recovery from recession. In 1997, 70 percent of household wealth in China was in bank deposits and 20 percent in property. By 2010, 40 percent was in the bank and 40 percent in residential property. Chinese investors are buying second, third or fourth apartments

He wonders if China is heading toward the same kind of real estate bubble that crippled the U.S. economy. At some point, there will be a limit on how much household wealth can be directed toward residential property. Housing prices will crash when that time comes, putting the brakes on the Chinese economy and disrupting global agricultural commodity markets. “If there is a big price correction, it certainly is going to have a negative wealth effect and cause people to slow down their rate of consumption,” said Lardy. “Private consumption expenditure would take a big hit and China would no longer be the engine for the global economy.”

Growth in GDP could easily slow to half of its recent pace. Property is now the biggest driver of the Chinese economy, supplanting manufacturing and agriculture, which were the drivers in the 1980s and 1990s. A slowdown in new housing construction would lead to massive layoffs in the construction, cement and steel industries. Local governments derive about 60 percent of their budgets from leasing land to property developers. Prices are already starting to soften on those leases, which would have a direct impact on infrastructure projects and social services. The good thing is that Chinese lending institutions have been more sensible than U.S. banks, never allowing zero down payment mortgages. In fact, the down payment on a mortgage that is not a buyer’s principal residence is 60 percent. However, Lardy said the economy

is so dependent on real estate investment that the hit to economic growth of a crash in housing prices could be much greater in China than it was in the U.S. The solution to this threat to the Chinese economy is for the government to shift to a policy of marketoriented interest rates rather than imposing its low-interest policy on bank deposits and loans. That would provide higher returns to those who want to put their money in the bank. Interest earned from those savings would increase incomes and encourage consumption rather than investment. Stimulating consumption in America’s biggest grain export market would help support crop prices across the board. “It would certainly be good to people in this room,” Lardy told farmers in the audience. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

American ethanol subsidy doomed CHICAGO — American ethanol producers are about to lose a lucrative subsidy, but a grain analyst says it shouldn’t have a long-lasting negative affect on corn prices. “The blender’s credit, barring some unforeseen miracle, it really does end at the end of this year,” Chris Clayton, DTN’s farm policy editor, told delegates attending DTN’s Ag Summit. The U.S. Senate signalled its intentions earlier this summer when it voted 72-20 to end the 45 cents US per gallon tax credit and the punitive tariff on imported Brazilian sugar cane ethanol. There appears to be no appetite in Washington to continue with the credit beyond Dec. 31 or divert those funds into ethanol infrastructure projects as requested by big U.S. ethanol manufacturers. The U.S. biodiesel industry nearly collapsed in 2010 when there was a year long delay in renewing its $1 per gallon blender’s tax credit. DTN senior market analyst Darin Newsom doesn’t expect the same thing will happen to the corn ethanol sector. “The ethanol market is bigger, older and stronger. It has had time to establish itself and it has the mandate,” he said. He thinks there will be no longterm consequences for the corn market if the tax credit disappears, although there could be a temporary knee-jerk market reaction to the news. “ We c o u l d s e e a s p i k e l o w e r because of the fear, but I think we’re already working that way anyway,” said Newsom. “It’s only if the mandate goes away that the corn market is going to see a long-term effect on price.” Clayton said there is mounting pressure to do away with the mandate. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Numbers don’t add up for corn supply, demand in China Numbers missing | China will import three million tonnes of corn in 2011-12: USDA report BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

the animals raised in backyard operations and 63 percent in commercial or specialized operations. It is expected to be a 30/70 split by 2013. Nelson said the shift toward commercial production will soon require 20 to 25 million tonnes of corn imports, assuming each Chinese pig eats 10 bushels of corn. The demand could materialize in the blink of an eye. China wasn’t a factor in world coal markets and then within a year became by far the world’s biggest coal importer. The same goes for soft timber. It wasn’t a factor until a couple of years ago and now is the world’s biggest importer of the product. “Who knows when it takes off, but we think when it happens it could be big,” he said. Corn prices would be significantly affected if China suddenly started importing 25 million tonnes of corn a year, considering annual global trade in the commodity is about 100 million tonnes. And corn sets the price bar for most of the crops Canadian farmers grow. China has been investing heavily in Brazil and Argentina to help balance its growing reliance on foreign corn and soybeans. Nelson expects some of the big grain firms operating in Asia, such as Wilmar International, Noble Group and Olam International, might be eyeing up western grain behemoths such as Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge or even a Canadian company now that Canada is heading toward a post-single desk environment. “A company like Viterra that’s public could get some interest from one of those Asian companies,” he said.

CHICAGO — Something doesn’t add up with China’s corn supply and demand outlook, says an international grains analyst. The ending stocks used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in its World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) is much too high if simple math is applied, said David Nelson, global strategist with Rabobank International. The USDA estimates China’s hog industry will consume 45 million tonnes of soybean meal. A balanced hog diet requires two units of corn for every unit of soybean meal, which means China would need 90 million tonnes of corn for its hog industry. But according to the USDA, China’s hog industry will eat its way through 30 million tonnes of corn. That missing 60 million tonnes would make a huge difference to a supply and demand report showing China with 57 million tonnes of corn ending stocks at the end of 2011-12. “I don’t know anybody that believes the USDA’s ending stock number for corn,” Nelson told DTN’s Ag Summit. The high price of corn in China lends support to the theory that supplies are tighter than the USDA is suggesting. China will import three million tonnes of corn in 2011-12, according to the WASDE report. Nelson said that number will grow exponentially if not this year, then next. “We do believe China will become a very meaningful importer of corn, not necessarily this year but within

the next few years,” he said. China produces 50 million tonnes of pork per year, and that output is expected to continue growing by an average of two percent annually, although this year it is down about four percent.

CROPS | PRODUCTION

“It’s going to be an annual battle, non-stop.” He said he recently spoke to a senior executive with Poet, America’s largest ethanol producer, who thinks Congress is not ready to go down that road. However, the same executive said rising food prices could pull together an old coalition of the petroleum industry, cattle producers, grocery stores and environmental groups that oppose ethanol. They will push for an end to the mandate. There is already proposed legislation that would cut the ethanol mandate by 25 percent in years when the corn stocks-to-use ratio is projected to be less than seven percent. That would reduce ethanol production by 4.5 million gallons. However, the bill has had trouble gathering momentum in Washington. It has 30 co-sponsors in Congress, which isn’t a lot, although they include both Democrats and Republicans. What concerns Clayton is that Illinois and Iowa will each lose one congressman and Ohio will lose two after the 2012 U.S. elections, while Texas will gain four and Florida will add two. The changes reflect population trends. “The Midwest, the corn belt states, lose a little more influence in Congress,” he said. That will make it easier for the antiethanol coalition to get its way in Washington.

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

Canola is supported by strong export and domestic demand

month ago, I wrote that the mindset of the trade about global crop supply is shifting toward comfort and away from concern. Reports from Statistics Canada and the U.S. Department of Agriculture last week reinforced that shift. Both reports increase the size of crops grown this year. The Statistics Canada report had little immediate market impact, but the USDA reports on domestic year end stocks and global crop production pushed crop prices down. The USDA increased its forecast of the size of U.S. ending stocks of soybeans, wheat and corn, mainly

However, it is the increased industrialization of the hog industry that is really behind the forecast for more corn imports. In 2001, 74 percent of China’s hog farms were backyard operations feeding table scraps to herds of no

because of slow exports. Looking at the world numbers, the USDA increased global corn production by 8.53 million tonnes to 867.52 million, due mostly to an upward revision in China’s production. It also raised its year end global corn stocks forecast, but the number is still smaller than last year. The USDA increased its estimate of world wheat production, raising its forecasts for Australia, Argentina and Canada. Global wheat production is now estimated at a record 688.97 million tonnes, up from 683.3 million last month. Year end global wheat stocks for 2011-12 rose to 208.52 million from 202.6 million last month. That is an increase of 8.77 million tonnes over 2010-11 and the largest ending stocks number in 10 years. More grain is available, and the rate of demand growth could slow if the debt crises in Europe and the U.S. get out of hand and spark another recession. The market could get comfortable indeed with attendant lower grain prices if the weather co-operates in 2012 and U.S. yields recover to what had been a rising trend. Of course, weather is always the wild card.

more than 49 animals. The remaining 26 percent were commercial farms or specialized operations feeding much bigger herds a mixed diet of corn and soybeans. The numbers had nearly flipflopped by 2009, with 37 percent of

The La Nina appears to be gathering a little steam. It was predicted to be much weaker than last year’s strong version, but there are indications it might wind up being a moderate event that does more damage than expected. Through all of the recent negative news for grain prices, it is good to see that canola prices are holding up better than soybeans, despite Statistics Canada pegging the crop at the high end of market expectations at 14.17 million tonnes, smashing the previous record of 12.89 million tonnes in 2009. Canola futures have fallen about 14.5 percent since Sept. 1, while soybeans have fallen 23 percent. Canola is supported by strong demand. Seed exports to date are moving at a record pace, up 18 percent over last year, and the domestic crush is also a record, up three percent. China’s demand for seed is much stronger this year with the establishment of new crushing plants in coastal areas that are allowed to import Canadian canola. China National Grain and Oils Information Centre expects Chinese imports in 2011-12 to reach 1.8 million tonnes, up from 1.3 million tonnes the previous year. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

MARKETS

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 15, 2011

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES LOWER Fed cattle cash prices dropped sharply from the previous week’s near-record levels. C a t t l e f u t u re s m a r k e t s w e re spooked by developments in the European debt crisis. A good marketready supply in the United States relative to demand weighed on cash prices, as did weaker beef prices. A slightly stronger loonie early in the week pushed Canadian prices up. Canfax said fed steers averaged $115.46 per hundredweight on the week, down $4.32, and heifers averaged 115.75, down $4.23. Rail trade was $196 delivered. Sale volume was 15,432 head, down six percent from the previous week. Fed prices will likely fall now that holiday beef buying is winding down and ample fed supplies are expected in the coming weeks.

age $67.05 per cwt., up 77 cents. D3 cows traded mostly steady at $52-$65 . Rail grade rose $1 to $127-$132. Butcher bull quality is mixed. Higher yielding bulls are in strong demand with prices up to $86 per cwt.

FEEDERS LOWER The Canfax average steer price fell 27 cents per cwt. and heifers fell 12 cents. In a moderate offering, light steers and heifers fell 50 cents on average and mid-weight feeders traded steady. With several bred sales highlighted in Alberta, pregnancy checked, open heifers are being assembled. Quality packages in some instances are outselling their steer counterparts.

There are wide price ranges in 300500 pound steer and heifer calves. Two tier pricing has developed with quality calves holding a strong price advantage over plain types. Electronic sale volumes are limited and most feeders are trading through commercial auctions. Auction volume for the week totalled 53,677, down 18 percent from the previous week. The few yearlings on offer are detecting strong buyer support. Volumes of 500-700 lb. calves have begun to ease and that should sustain price levels. The strengthening Canadian dollar and softer cattle futures could limit increases.

BRED CATTLE TRADE A large offering traded.

Dispersal sales of reputable herds caught the attention of out-of-Alberta buyers. Large load lots are being assembled with strong producer interest. Bred heifers averaged $1,435 per head and they traded as high as $1,725.

BEEF WEAKER Beef demand is sluggish now that most holiday orders are filled. U.S Choice and Select cutouts traded $3-$6 per cwt. lower in the week ending Dec. 9 on moderate demand and moderate to heavy offering. Weekly Canadian cut-out values to Dec. 2 fell 50 cents-$1. Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was anticipated $1 higher, at $210-$212 per cwt.

PRAIRIE ON-FEED REPORT There were 1.03 million head in feedlots in Alberta and Saskatchewan Dec. 1, up six percent from a year ago but about steady with the fiveyear average. Placements in November were 301,199 head, an increase of four percent over last year and the largest since 2005. Strong prices attracted cattle to auctions. Marketings in the month were 132,220 head, a two percent increase. This cattle market information is selected from the weekly report from Canfax, a division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. More market information, analysis and statistics are available by becoming a Canfax subscriber by calling 403275-5110 or at www.canfax.ca.

COWS RISE Canadian cow slaughter volumes exceeded 12,000 head for the fourth consecutive week. Non-fed volumes are beginning to tighten but packers have been active at bred sales, buying many mature or blemished cows on offer. D1, D2 cows were $61-$74 to averaccess=subscriber section=markets,none,none

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG PRICES DIP Hog prices finished the week lower, but market direction was not clear. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs closed at about $63 US per hundredweight Dec. 9, down from $64 Dec. 2. U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $90.24 Dec. 9, up from $88.61 Dec. 2. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.33 million, up from 2.36 million the previous week.

BISON PRICES DIP The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.75-$4 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.75-$4. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.50-$2.80.

SHEEP MARKET Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 820 sheep and 158 goats sold Dec. 5. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $240-$266 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $225-$250, 86-105 lb. were $190$225 and 106 lb. and heavier were $180-$195. Wool rams were $80-$110 per cwt. Cull ewes were $75-$105. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $210-$234 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $212-$245, 86-105 lb. were $180$200 and 106 lb. and heavier were $170-$188. Hair rams were $75-$90 per cwt. Cull ewes were $80-$90. Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $205-$240. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $200-$245 per cwt. Nannies were $55-$80 per cwt. Billies were $135-$160. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 1,362 sheep and lambs and 121 goats traded Dec. 5.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | DEMOCRACY

CRAIG’S VIEW

Rule of law must apply in changing wheat board

ast week’s federal court ruling against agriculture minister Gerry Ritz’s attempt to end the Canadian Wheat Board single desk should send a message that even majority governments must respect the rule of law. Justice Douglas Campbell ruled that the Conservatives breached Section 47.1 of the Canadian Wheat Board Act when they introduced Bill C-18, which would ultimately end the CWB’s sales monopoly on western grown wheat, malting barley and feed barley for export. Campbell ruled Ritz “breached his statutory duty” by not holding a farmer vote and consulting with the CWB. Whether one agrees with the existence of the single desk or not, there is a larger issue at play here — upholding democratic principles. Whether Ritz and the Conservatives were given a mandate to change the CWB because of their strong showing in western rural ridings during the last federal election is a moot point. While we agree with the argument that the Conservatives cannot be held hostage to laws made by past governments, proper legal processes must be followed. Whether you support a long-term future for the single desk or not (and it is difficult to imagine that the single desk will be with us for long no matter the outcome of a federal appeal to last week’s ruling,) proper parliamentary and legal processes exist for the protection of all. In his ruling, Campbell made it clear that the validity of Bill C-18 was not at issue. Rather, it was a matter that the legal process had been circumvented because no meaningful consultative process took place. The ruling was only a declaration by the court and as such, it does not stop the government from going forward with its agenda. However, at press time the CWB said it was considering whether to ask the court for an injunction, which, if granted, would halt the progress of Bill C-18. Still, Ritz has vowed to press forward with the changes, saying a farmer vote would only delay the process and cause

confusion in the industry. However, it would be better to follow the court’s advice. Ritz’s bill to do away with the single desk could gain legitimacy if it were properly done. As well, there is also an opportunity to present a vote in a clear question. That has been sadly lacking in past plebiscites, with the vote split three ways among those wanting to maintain the single desk, those wanting the CWB to compete in the open market, and those wanting an outright open market. A vote now could be simply put: do you agree with the CWB changes as outlined in Bill C-18? The voters list would follow rules set out by Ritz in 2010, which includes all farmers who produce at least 40 tonnes of one of the crops included in the CWB Act during the past three years. Due to the intrusive and wide-reaching powers of the CWB, with its necessary infringements on farmers’ rights to sell grain whenever and wherever they like, a large majority of rock-hard single desk support should be required. Perhaps something akin to a constitutional standard of a two-thirds majority would be more fitting than 51 percent. While holding a vote now would throw off the government timetable, that urgency exists only because of government haste to pass change in time for the start of the next crop year in August 2012. With the CWB so intricately entwined with our grain handling and marketing systems, a slower, more clearly defined exit process could provide the clarity many businesses and farm groups say they require. The current market uncertainly exists only because of the government’s short timetable. It seemed unlikely at the start of this week that the government would heed the ruling, and that is unfortunate. All Canadians, open market supporters included, should demand a government that upholds democratic principles.

The court has said (to the federal government) you should have consulted with farmers, you should have had a vote and that’s what the government should now do — hold a vote and let the farmers decide.

LIBERAL MP RALPH GOODALE FORMER MINISTER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD

Not only is our government convinced that we have the right to change legislation, we have the responsibility to deliver on our promises and give farmers in Western Canada the right to market their own grain. GERRY RITZ AGRICULTURE MINISTER

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | COURT RULING

Federal Court ruling on Canadian Wheat Board shakes up Parliament NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

pponents of the Conservative plan to bully through Parliament legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly could not have written a more compelling script for their Parliament Hill appearance. After months of futile political argument in the face of an unbending government, CWB supporters sat down at a Senate committee Dec. 8

clutching a Federal Court judgment they thought might win the day. The previous day, judge Douglas Campbell had declared agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has shown “disregard for the rule of law” by refusing to follow the CWB Act and hold a farmer vote. It means, CWB chair Allen Oberg told senators, that Ritz “broke the law” and the way he brought Bill C-18 to Parliament was illegal. Reject the bill and call for a farmer vote, he said. Even though Oberg knew Ritz had already rejected the idea, it was a strong argument at a time when the wheat board issue was back in the news. The court judgment landed like a Molotov cocktail that set the political landscape afire. Liberals argued to no avail that Sen-

ate hearings should be stopped until all eligible courts have ruled. Liberal leader Bob Rae asked that governor general David Johnston defy government instructions and refuse to sign the bill into law. The last time that happened was 30 years ago when opponents lobbied in London, England, asking the Queen to refuse approval if prime minister Pierre Trudeau forced through Parliament constitutional changes without provincial and First Nations’ approval. The 1981 Supreme Court ruling that Trudeau’s proposal was constitutional but outside convention because of lack of provincial support inflamed political debate and sent Trudeau back to negotiations for a 1982 deal with nine of 10 premiers. The CWB issue is less national in

scope but Campbell’s ruling had similar inflammatory impact on Parliament Hill. Last week, the government was showing no inclination to compromise, negotiate or back down. Unfortunately for the opponents, Campbell’s decision offered Conservatives some talking points as well. He said the CWB and its allies who went to court “confirm that the validity and effects of any legislation which might become law as a result of Bill C-18 are not at issue in the present applications.” And they did not dispute Parliament’s ability to pass laws. Conservative senators such as Manitoba’s Don Plett threw that in Oberg’s face and taunted him about why the CWB did not ask the court to stop the government from enacting

the law if it is so bad. Then there was the issue of who is a farmer in any valid vote. Oberg argued the 62 percent of farmers who voted in a CWB plebiscite to retain the single desk refuted the government. He said 68,000 ballots were sent out in a “very inclusive” vote. But Campbell, the new hero of the CWB side, wrote that the board’s “democratic marketing practices” should be maintained “because they are longstanding and strongly supported by a large number of the some 17,000 grain producers in Western Canada.” Conservatives were asking who is a farmer, who did the board poll and with that discrepancy, on what basis could the y organize a vote guaranteed to gauge what farmers want? access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

DAIRY SECTOR | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT DEBATE

Trade doable with supply management BY DOUG CHORNEY

anada’s supply management system has been in the spotlight over the past few weeks through local and national news reports. We can identify at least two recent undertakings that may be generating discussion. We have heard rumblings recently from the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, following its inaugural Summit on Parliament in October, about supply management. It has also launched something called the Free Your Milk campaign. Many media outlets have covered this organization’s initiative, but they have left out the details on what supply management means for stakeholders throughout the value chain as products move from the farmgate to the grocery bag. Recent discussion on supply management may also stem from news surrounding the federal government and the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations. The Canadian government has formally indicated its desire to join the TPP negotiations. Prime minister Stephen Harper was also clear that Canada will not pre-negotiate its entry in the TPP, as it relates to agricultural supply management, intellectual property rights or other broad Canadian interests. Also, the Canada-European Trade Agreement (CETA) is down to three outstanding issues, one being trade sensitive commodities such as dairy and poultry. Does market access for non-agri-

cultural goods and services warrant throwing our supply management farmers under a bus? The answer is that Canada has concluded trade deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and bilateral agreements with Jordan, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Chile, Israel and EFTA (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) while balancing Canadian interests, and it will do the same for CETA and the TPP. The supply management system is a producer funded production system that matches supply with what consumers need and want.

This system assures Canadians have access to a stable supply of high quality, safe and nutritious dairy, poultry and egg products at reasonable prices, while the farmers who produce these products receive enough revenue from the marketplace to cover their cost of production. While this provides stability to producer prices, it also prevents prices from falling and wiping out family farms in down cycles. For example, Canadians have not had to deal with the wild fluctuations observed in world dairy markets in recent years. Federal and provincial govern-

ments spend billions helping farmers survive market downturns through business risk management programming, but supply management farms do not require this assistance. As a result, the taxpayer wins as well. Keystone Agricultural Producers believes all farmers want to find profitability from the marketplace and not through handouts from the taxpayer. What the detractors fail to tell the public is that a typical menu price for a glass of milk is $2.25, of which the farmer’s share is 21 cents, the processor’s share is 11 cents and the restaurant’s share is a whopping $1.93 plus a 34 cent tip. So who is really getting milked here? A medium three topping pizza sells for $15.29 in a restaurant and returns only 67 cents to farmers for the cheese. This is less than the tip a patron may pay the server. I think farmers deserve to make a fair return in exchange for producing safe and abundant supplies of great tasting, nutritious food. Let’s all stand up and support this made-in-Canada solution called supply management, and continue to enjoy the many culinary delights possible with the ingredients provided by family farmers in Manitoba and Canada. Supply management has not stood in the way of Canada’s ability to successfully negotiate trade agreements in the past, and it is unlikely to do so in the future. Chorney is president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, a Manitoba general farm policy organization.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | FUTURE

Too much fighting, too little discussion HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

he epic battle waged over the Canadian Wheat Board for the past six months has not been in the best interests of producers. In hard fought ideological wars, opinions polarize. All too often that means disparaging the side you don’t agree with. There really are no villains in this debate. Staunch CWB supporters vilify agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and the Stephen Harper government. Market choice advocates disparage the farmer-elected CWB directors that have fought the government every step of the way. Just like Gerry Ritz, the CWB directors are good people doing what they

think is right. Both sides say they’re working for the betterment of farmers and both are sincere in that belief. We shouldn’t question motives or intelligence. But you have to wonder how it all would have played out if the CWB directors had taken a different tack. When the Conservatives, to the surprise of many, won their majority government, Ritz was quick to signal his government’s intention. The single desk would be gone on Aug. 1, 2012. There would be no vote because the entire act was being repealed. At that point, the CWB directors had a choice — confrontation or cooperation. Despite legal advice that the government’s plan could not likely be derailed, the CWB directors launched a no-holds-barred offensive. They ran their own vote even though the government said the result would be ignored. They held public meetings and funded an advertising campaign and they even launched a lawsuit. Have farmers been well-served by

this? It appears the legislation will still receive Royal Assent and become law by the end of the year and it appears the single desk will still end on Aug.1. Instead of venomous opposition, the directors could have taken the following position: “We don’t agree with the federal government’s plan to end the CWB’s single desk. We believe the single desk brings value to the farmers of Western Canada. However, the government has announced its clear intention and it has the parliamentary majority to change the CWB Act. “While we don’t agree, we won’t spend our time fighting the change. Instead we will turn our energy to trying to make a voluntary CWB a viable option for farmers. To have the CWB continue in a meaningful way, here is what the federal government can do to help...” Rather than fighting for the last six months, we could have all been working towards a smooth transition. The new rules of the marketing game would be clearer for the entire industry and for farmers.

And the CWB would have squeezed more concessions out of the government. In fact, farmer-elected directors may have remained part of the new CWB. Instead we have a highly charged political atmosphere, bad blood and uncertainty over how the changes will unfold. The only winners have been lawyers and media pundits. CWB directors scored a moral victory in the courts, but the decision has served no practical purpose and it’s likely to be overturned upon appeal. Our customers around the world must be watching in amazement wondering if we’ll ever get our act together. Farmers need new crop price signals so they can make seeding plans. Grain companies need to sort out their marketing and transportation. The railways need to get ready for a fundamentally different system of rail car allocation. Hopefully, the fighting will soon subside. There’s a lot of work to do. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

Ag reporting a learning experience EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOHN B. PLUCK, INTERN

oodbyes have never been among my strong suits. But the time has come to say so long and farewell to The Western Producer readers and the staff in the Saskatoon newsroom. When I started at the Producer this fall as an intern from the University of Regina School of Journalism, I really had no idea of what to expect. My reporting experience was limited to writing news stories and features on a variety of social issues. To compound matters, my knowledge of farming was limited to watching television shows and reading the occasional agricultural news story. With each story assignment I was like a kid in a candy store, fascinated with all the scientific and technical inputs necessary for crop production. I enjoyed working on research news stor ies and features because I learned so much about issues affecting agriculture. During my time here, I have attended my fair share of ag media events, where I wondered constantly if I was the only one lost by the numerous agricultural terminologies. On many occasions it certainly seemed to be the case. During those events my recorder became my friend and the Producer’s managing editor, Michael Raine, became my go-to guy for demystifying the world of agriculture. Despite the challenges I really had fun working at the Pro ducer. I enjoyed learning about pulses, a word I had heard for the first time while working on a story. It was, however, a story on turkey production that I really learned a lot of new agricultural terms. Before writing and researching the story, my knowledge of the turkey species was quite limited. But I soon learned turkeys have different names depending on their age and sex. I will miss the warm atmosphere of The Western Producer newsroom and the friendly staff. During my time here I have developed a greater interest in agricultural issues and a deeper interest in agricultural journalism. I now can appreciate the hard work and dedication that it takes to make healthy food available in the grocery store. So as I say my final farewell, I would like to thank all the agricultural experts and farmers I interviewed for sharing their time and expertise. Thank you, Western Producer, for a wonderful agricultural reporting experience. You have truly enriched my practice of journalism. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

Although there is a constant majority of single desk supporters in elections and plebiscites, there are a few grain farmers unhappy with the single desk selling authority of the Canadian Wheat Board. Decades of misinformation spread through the media have done its work. Besides special interest groups and ideologically driven organizations, the Alberta government has for more than 20 years actively advertised, with public money, against the CWB. While the Alberta government has been withdrawing financial support

for all other commodity groups since the early ’90s, they have actively kept up the funding of the Alberta Barley Commission and the Western Canadian Wheat Growers for the sole purpose of advancing the destruction of the single desk CWB sale of wheat and barley. Any entrepreneur that looks at the current business model of the CWB — the transportation authority, the authority to claim a timely space in privately owned terminals and elevators, the marketing strategy and the single desk privilege… — would pay a fortune for that business. The profits of the CWB are not paid to distant shareholders. They go back to the prairie producer. The loss of the CWB single desk is

compounded by a recent 50 percent reduction in the federal government’s support for the Canadian Grain Commission. The CGC is another icon established by first generation settlers so farmers could not be screwed out of quality premiums when they delivered grain. (Agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz is correct — the end of the CWB single desk means the start of new investment on the Prairies, to capitalize on values … that no longer have to be passed onto farmers. It will go to shareholders who are not contributing and reinvesting in the local communities.

WRONG MESSAGE To the Editor: In the Nov. 10 edition of The Western Producer, an article was headlined “FNA sees opportunity in demise of wheat board single desk.” That was not the message given by Farmers of North America at the House of Commons committee studying Bill C-18. FNA members have a self-imposed mandate to work together to improve farmer profitability and become as cost competitive as possible. The FNA taskforce is looking at whether, upon the elimination of the Canadian Wheat Board single desk, there is an opportunity for FNA to mitigate the collateral damage that the change will leave for some farmers. We stated clearly in the committee that there are many farmers who rely on the CWB and the services it provides. If it will no longer be in a position to provide those services, it is FNA’s mandate and obligation to continue to empower farmer members within the new policy environment. More clearly stated, FNA does not see opportunity in the demise of the single desk. FNA recognizes that as a result of the demise of the single desk, it will have an opportunity to serve its members by mitigating the impact of any fallout, and helping to shore up and strengthen the crosswalk between farmer members and the market.

NONSENSICAL TICKETING

5525 YIELD RESULTS

ernments are celebrating the end of the CWB single desk. It is, however, a very sad day to see farmers think their GPS controlled one pass air seeders, BlackBerries and IPads will bring them individually as much market power as what they collectively had in the CWB….

I am writing in regards to the Nov. 17 article in The Western Producer entitled, “Offering helping hand nets trucker big bill.” The article described an incident where a Pincher Creek, Alta., rancher was given a $354 ticket for helping haul his neighbour’s cattle to the auction mart in Fort Macleod. It is difficult to comprehend that a department of transportation officer would be so narrow-minded as to issue a ticket to a rancher for “unauthorized operation of a vehicle with farm plates for commercial purposes,” when he was simply helping his neighbour. To categorize helpfulness as a commercial venture is certainly a stretch of one’s imagination. This country’s agricultural industry and the western way of life was started, developed and is still maintained on the basis of neighbours helping neighbours. Co-operation has been the cornerstone of progress for well over 100 years. To now charge a

NEWS rancher for supporting those ideals is ludicrous. It would seem to me that the ticketing officer must have been desperately looking for something to occupy his time and had absolutely no understanding of either the western way of life or the value of working together. The agricultural industry has always been forced to do everything possible to remain financially viable, and reciprocating helpfulness has been a mainstay in that effort. I must commend David Moss from Alberta’s Livestock Identification Service for his comment, “I go back to the common sense rule. Ranchers have got to help each other out on a daily basis. We shouldn’t stand in the way of that.” One could only hope that the DOT officer and his superiors might immediately garner some common sense and see the error of their ways. In the meantime, I hope that more

of us in the livestock industry voice our concerns loudly to help curtail further nonsensical ticketing…. Marianne Cole, Rocky Mountain House, Alta.

I know that you can’t count on the

Livestock Dealer and Agent License document as posted on the Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives website, because although the producers were defrauded in January 2011, G & M Livestock could still be found on this government listing as legitimate buyers as late as June of 2011. What really is distasteful in the comments of Buchen and an order buyer, as quoted in Arnason’s article, is that they point the finger of blame at the 12 cattlemen, the victims of crime. This kind of rhetoric does what it is intended to do. However, it keeps us from looking at the bigger picture, from asking the important questions. What individual at MAFRI was responsible for leaving G & M listed as a legitimate buyer up to six months after the producers were defrauded? How many dealers or order buyers were defrauded by G & M Livestock

in this fiasco? Why does the Manitoba Livestock Buyers Marketing Association object to producers empowering themselves on market day? And, most importantly — how can we fix it? I guess I was lucky. I sold my cattle and I got paid. This time. I am not one of the 12 producers who were thrown under the proverbial bus like a lump of frozen manure. And, I guess, like most producers, I will keep looking for answers. Google “livestock sellers beware” on the internet and you will find a lengthy dissertation on the evils of farmgate marketing. At the bottom, a Michael Buchen, Feeder/Feedlot Specialist at the Livestock Knowledge Centre, promises to answer all our questions. That seems like a good enough place to start.

ost clergy are running on raw nerves by Christmas Eve. The bustle of advent activities, community commitments and tending the sick and bereaved all take their toll. People expect the church service to set the mood for all that’s special about their Christmas celebration. I was more tired than usual one Christmas Eve and still had to make my own long drive to be with my sick mother for one last Christmas. Into the church stepped five-yearold Christine, radiant with excitement. Intuition told me something big was happening, but I wasn’t sure what it would be. The church was packed. Outside, it was cold and dark. Inside, old friends sat shoulder to shoulder with a handful of newcomers to our village. The anthems by the community choir lifted our spirits. At the conclusion of the service, Christine followed her mom to the piano in front of the pulpit. They sat on the bench, facing my way. This part of the service had been carefully choreographed. Candles were lit and lights were dimmed as we sang Silent Night. Then Christine’s mom was to play O Holy Night, and it was obvious Christine was going to help her. She had to turn the music page at just the right moment. She had an important responsibility and she absolutely beamed. This was the most important thing that happened to her that Christmas. Too often we overlook and underestimate what children are willing and capable of doing. As I watched Christine’s face while she waited for the slight nod from her mother, I saw hope and promise and sheer joy burst forth from that tiny face. She had given me the best Christmas present ever. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

POULTRY | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Misinformation irks poultry sector Food service industry blamed | Supply management does not push poultry prices up, says CFC president BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s restaurant and food services lobby is spreading myths and misinformation in its campaign against supply management, Chicken Farmers of Canada leaders have complained to MPs. CFC president David Fuller and executive director Mike Dungate insisted during a Dec. 8 appearance before the House of Commons agriculture committee that: • supply management boards do not “short the market” to deliberately keep supplies over-priced • Canadian prices are higher than American prices because the American industry is losing money • the Canadian chicken industry far exceeds its World Trade Organization obligation by allowing 7.5 percent of the current consumer market to be supplied by low tariff or no-tariff imports They were responding to questions from MPs who said they support supply management but often have to deal with critical questions from their constituents. Conservative MP Bob Zimmer from British Columbia said a restaurant chain owner in his riding complains that supply management is “deliberately causing a shortage in the domestic supply market to keep prices high.” Fuller rejected the charge. A 14-member committee that includes producers, processors and restaurateurs sets production quota levels based on expected consumption demand. “We do not deliberately short the market to increase the price,” he said. “That is a myth and it is wrong. It is false.” What about price comparisons between Canada and the United States? Zimmer asked. Chicken costs close to $7 per kilogram in Canada and $2.75 in the U.S. Dungate said the U.S. industry is losing money on every kilogram it sells and processors are going bankrupt, which puts pressure on farm-

gate chicken prices. As well, American producers receive farm bill subsidies, and the U.S. government recently spent $300 million above farm bill spending to take chicken out of the market to strengthen prices. The Canadian industry gets its money from the marketplace. “When people say, ‘you have to get the same price as the guys in the U.S.,’ I say, ‘are you asking us to lose as much money as them?’ ” Fuller also said any increase in current rules requiring that 7.5 percent of the market be filled by low-tariff imports would drive Canadian chicken farmers out of business. Imports from the U.S. and Mexico are tariff-free within that tariff rate quota (TRQ) and tariff on product from elsewhere is 5.4 percent. Over-quota tariffs for import above that level are 238 percent. Fuller said present TRQ levels clear the way for imports of 82 million kg. “If we take what Atlantic Canada and Saskatchewan grow on an annual basis, that’s about the size of it.” However, that level of guaranteed access is under pressure in CanadaEuropean Union free trade talks and at the World Trade Organization. What would happen if it was increased to 10 percent of the market? asked NDP MP Alex Atamanenko. “If we were to increase that access to 10 percent, you would see a reduction in the Canadian chicken industry effective immediately,” replied Fuller. Dungate said the Canadian market share offered to imports is more generous than many other countries bound by the WTO rule. Canada bases its calculation on the previous year’s consumption so actual access grows as the market grows. Other countries bound by WTO access rules calculate their TRQ percent on the basis of consumption between 1986 and 1988. “So don’t compare somebody’s five percent to our 7.5 percent,” he said. “Our 7.5 percent is twice our WTO commitment.”

CO-OPERATIVES | TAX INCENTIVES

Co-ops push for tax break incentives BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Budget legislation that offers a tax break on co-op earnings is the most important policy change the federal government could make to support the sector, says a co-operative researcher. Lou Hammond Ketilson from the University of Saskatchewan’s Centre for the Study of Co-operatives said in a Dec. 8 Parliament Hill speech that co-ops are “an under-estimated and overlooked opportunity” in Canada’s economy. In an interview, she said government support could best come in the form of tax breaks that some provinces have enacted. Manitoba offers a tax break on coop earnings, leaving more money for investment. Quebec provides a tax break for people who invest in cooperatives, dealing with the undercapitalization that is a problem for many co-ops. The House of Commons finance committee has recommended for several years a federal version of the

Quebec model that would cost little, attract tens of millions of dollars to co-ops and is recommended by Credit Union Central of Canada. Federal finance minister Jim Flaherty has yet to respond. “If the federal government wants to support the sector, absolutely the best way would be through tax incentives,” Ketilson said in an interview after a speech to a session organized by the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences and the Canadian co-operative movement. “It would leave the sector to build the infrastructure that it needs to succeed.” The United Nations has designated 2012 the year of co-operatives, and the Canadian movement is sponsoring a series of events throughout the year, ending with a national conference in Quebec City in October. In her speech, Ketilson said her research has identified co-ops and credit unions as key players in the Canadian economy, trusted by Canadians at a time when private sector financial institutions are being questioned or under attack from the

Occupy movement. More than 10 million Canadians are co-op members. She said credit unions offer services in many rural and isolated communities where there are no other financial institutions. They are locally controlled and offer financial services that private lenders are not prepared to do. She said credit unions exist to service their members and are responsive to local direction, unlike private lenders who serve the interests of shareholders. Ketilson, an unabashed supporter of the co-operative model, said mainstream economists who criticize them as inefficient miss the point. “They are making decisions that put their members and their communities ahead of their institution,” she said. However, co-operatives and credit unions are under-developed and have difficulty attracting investment and growth, she said. A major part of the problem is that most Canadians do not understand co-ops, how they are formed and what benefits they can provide, he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Brazil plans major growth Large-scale farming | SLC Agricola acres to increase 12 percent annually

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

BY SEAN PRATT

An independent study has confirmed what previous examinations of the Cenovus Energy enhanced oil recovery project near Weyburn, Sask., also concluded: carbon dioxide is not leaking from underground storage. The study, which was led by IPACC02 Research Inc., an environmental non-government organization in Regina, found normal carbon dioxide levels on farmland owned by Cameron and Jane Kerr. The Kerrs held a news conference nearly a year ago to demand an independent assessment of problems on their farm. They said water was foaming and bubbling in nearby ponds, and they could hear explosions in a gravel pit. They also found dead animals near the ponds. They hired a consultant who found unusually high carbon dioxide and methane levels on the land and claimed it must have come from the carbon dioxide injected underground by Cenovus. A study commissioned by Cenovus and the 180 spage IPAC study released Dec. 12 have concluded the carbon dioxide could not have come from underground because it didn’t have the characteristics that would be expected from that type of gas.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CHICAGO — Canadian farms are getting larger every year, but they’ve got a long way to go to catch up to some of the mammoth operations in Brazil. Aurelio Pavinato, chief operating officer of SLC Agricola, told growers attending DTN’s Ag Summit that the company he helps manage farms 617,500 acres of cotton, soybean and corn. It is not even the biggest farm in the country — two other operations plant more acres — but SLC Agricola has aggressive growth plans. “We intend to increase our planted area 12 percent per year,” said Pavinato. The company hopes to seed nearly one million acres by the 2015-16 crop year by acquiring undeveloped land in new frontiers of Brazil and leasing land from other farmers. The breakdown of planted area on the farm is 47 percent soybeans, 38 percent cotton, 13 percent corn and two percent wheat and other crops. Cotton is the biggest contributor to the bottom line, generating 62 percent of the company’s revenues, followed by soybeans at 26 percent and corn at 10 percent.

AURELIO PAVINATO SLC AGRICOLA

SLC Agricola has split the business into 13 farms, which are all located in the Cerrado region of Brazil. The farms range in size from 25,488 to 76,639 acres. Pavinato said there are significant economies of scale in running a big agribusiness company, including reduced production costs for chemicals, fertilizer and farm equipment. “We can use the biggest machinery in the world and the best machinery in the world,” he said. “One employee can do more.” That is an important consideration for a company that has 1,781 fulltime and 1,442 temporary staff. SLC Agricola’s ability to use the latest technology has helped it exceed the average soybean, corn and cotton yields produced by American farmers. Pavinato said other grain exporters should prepare themselves for stiff competition from Brazil in the coming years because of increasing yields

and the ability to bring more land into production. Brazil was responsible for one percent of world food exports in 1980, but by 2010 it was the world’s second largest exporter, accounting for 16 percent of exports. That’s still less than the United States’ 42 percent, but the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization anticipates Brazil will top the U.S. as the world’s leading food exporter by 2020, with 38 percent of sales to the U.S.’s 32 percent. The amount of unused land that can be brought into production is one of the major reasons for the surge. Brazil has 178 million acres of cultivated land and another 175 million acres that is available for agricultural use. Pavinato expects to see an additional 2.5 million acres under cultivation in Brazil every year for the foreseeable future, but the rate of growth could easily be higher if commodity prices are attractive. The country has 425 million acres of pasture land that could be converted to growing crops. The World Bank estimates Brazil has 54.6 million acres that could be used to expand soybean production alone. “We have a big potential to increase our planted area,” said Pavinato. “We’ll be stronger in the future.”

Prairie farmers produced a record breaking canola crop this year, said Statistics Canada in its final crop report of the year. Good summer weather replaced a challenging spring and most crops turned out better than expected. Spring wheat and durum saw record yields of 42.7 bushel an acre and 39 bu. respectively.

OBITUARY | DAVID HOPPER

First research council president revolutionary for his time Father of green revolution | Council’s first president believed developing world scientists knew best how to solve their problems BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

David Hopper, the first president of Canada’s world-renowned International Development Research Council, had a vision of agricultural development in poor countries that was ahead of its time, say former colleagues. He died in late November at age 84, hailed in life and death as one of the fathers of the Green Revolution that turned India and other southeast Asian countries into food surplus regions rather than regular victims of famine. “He believed in scientists in developing countries having the ability to

solve their own problems with their own solutions,” said Doug Daniels, a former IDRC colleague. “The prevailing wisdom at the time was that development in India was stopped because they weren’t picking up the new technology being developed in the North. Hopper said they were more rational than that, and the technology being developed was not meeting their needs.” Gerald Bourrier, former assistant director of the IDRC agriculture division created by Hopper, said Dec. 8 the founding president was key in focusing the IDRC on the developing world’s agricultural needs and the

need to help countries with food shortages become food self-sufficient. “He was a strong advocate of supporting research to develop high-

yielding so-called miracle grains,” said Bourrier. “He was instrumental in making that a focus of IDRC.” Hopper died Nov. 22 in Washington, D.C., where he moved after leaving the IDRC to become vice-president of the World Bank until his 1990 retirement. He worked for the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1960s, promoting the cause of new high yielding varieties for south Asian countries. His work led to his reputation as one of the fathers of the Green Revolution. He was an agricultural economist who wrote a PhD thesis on the eco-

nomics of food production and sustainability in a rural Indian village, where he lived for most of two years. Hopper was hired as the first president of the IDRC when it was created in 1970 as a crown corporation, making certain that agricultural development was one of its four core mandates. “His vision for development really was key to the mandate of the IDRC and how it has evolved and maintained itself,” said Daniels. “At the time, he bucked conventional wisdom about the ability of the South to design its own solutions, and that has been a core value ever since. He was a great man.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Alberta Pork producers voted to eliminate delegates from the board table after the group struggled to find producers to fill the positions. With only four of the nine delegate positions of Alberta Pork filled, producer Bryan Perkins suggested pork producers have little interest in serving as delegates. “We’re having trouble getting people to be interested in standing as delegates,” said Perkins, a Wainwright pork producer. “Our industry is so changed from when Alberta Pork started and we had 45 delegates,” he said. With only 370 pork producers left in the province and improved communication, there is little need for nine delegates and eight directors around the boardroom table. “It’s time for a change,” said Perkins. John Middel, an Alberta Pork delegate from Rocky Mountain House, opposed the elimination of delegates. He said the cost of delegates is minimal in Alberta Pork’s budget and they provide good feedback to directors. The delegate role also provides good leadership training for becoming a director. “You get an inkling of how the government works,” he said. Alberta Pork director Jacqueline Hamoen also opposed the elimination of delegates. Hamoen was a delegate for two years before becoming a director and said the time in that position was valuable training for her present position. “If I wasn’t in the job earlier I would have been hesitant to join with both feet,” said Hamoen of Vega. In the end, producers voted 21 to 14 in favour of eliminating the delegates. Alberta Pork chair Jim Haggins said it’s likely the board will proceed with changes in the marketing plan to eliminate the delegates. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

BIOFUEL | CARBON EMISSIONS

Provinces import to meet biofuel needs B.C. emissions reduced by 418,000 tonnes | Even with transportation factored in, Alberta and B.C. hope to slash emissions by one million tonnes annually

British Columbia and Alberta are importing biofuel to reduce carbon emissions and meet government mandated inclusion rates in gasoline and diesel. B.C. imports most of its biofuel requirements, including renewable diesel from Finland, said Michael Rensing, manager of renewable and low carbon fuels with the province’s energy ministry. B.C. requires five percent renew-

able content in gasoline and three percent in diesel. “We are not specific about what the fuels are; they just need to be renewable,” he said. The province has reduced its carbon emissions by 418,000 tonnes since the requirement went into effect last year. It is the equivalent of removing 82,000 passenger vehicles from the road. “British Columbia followed the lead of California,” Rensing told the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association’s recent conference in Calgary. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

“Our low carbon fuel standard has a few variations and we are experiencing the same issues as California.” A California proposal announced in 2007 wants to reduce carbon emissions from fuel by 10 percent by 2020. Diesel-hydrogen powered buses were used during the Vancouver Olympics, and the province is considering expanding its hydrogen fleet. The hydrogen comes from Quebec. Alberta produces close to 70 percent of the 2.6 million barrels of oil that Canada produces per day, and imports biofuel to meet emissions standards. For example, biodiesel is imported from Imperium Renewables in Seattle. “We send them crushed canola and they send it back as biodiesel right now,” said Susan Carlisle, director of alternative and renewable energy with Alberta Energy. Carlisle said even with the importing and transportation factored in the biofuel is expected to reduce emissions by a million tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year.” Alberta set a requirement in 2010 of five percent alcohol in gasoline and two percent renewable fuel in diesel. Blenders are not constrained to ethanol. The program started in April so no statistics are available. Alberta produces 45 million litres of ethanol and 19 million litres of biodiesel per year, while 300 million litres of fuel alcohol and 150 million litres of renewable diesel are required to meet the province’s needs. “We are seeing around 2014 when we could fulfill that entire requirement with local capacity,” Carlisle said. Plant construction announcements have been made in the past, but the plants were never built. “What happened with some companies was they had investors and the investors walked away because of the economy,” she said. Plant location is also a concern because of a moratorium on water licences in the South Saskatchewan River basin. “With their business planning when they go for permitting, they have to have a water licence. If they don’t get a water licence to meet their needs, they are not going to build.” However, she said biofuel does not have a high water requirement. “Ethanol may have a reputation of using a lot of water, but the water required has gone down. They have improved the technology and the processes so it is not as high as it used to be,” she said. Most plants tend to locate close to a supply of feedstock and transportation. Alberta also wants plants built to benefit the local economy rather than continuing to import. “The spinoff benefits wouldn’t be recognized by straight imports and you wouldn’t see the regional spinoff benefits that you would get and the market opportunities for our farmers,” she said. “ You won’t see that if you are importing. You are just a consumer of biofuels. But if you are producing there is economic benefits from the farmer right up to the tax revenue.”

The Canadian government is being hypocritical in pursuing a low level presence policy for unapproved genetically modified crops, says an anti-biotechnology crusader. “Low level presence punches a big hole right through the government’s claim that our regulation of GM foods is science-based,” said Lucy Sharratt, co-ordinator of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network. Agriculture Canada wants to establish a low level presence policy allowing trace amounts of GM crops that have been approved in an exporting country but not in Canada. It recently completed consultations on a proposal to allow up to 0.1 percent of an unapproved GM trait as long as certain conditions are met. The main condition is that the trait would have to be approved by an exporting nation that Canada has deemed to have an equivalent regulatory system. There are also provisions in the proposal to establish thresholds for unapproved GM traits that exceed 0.1 percent if certain conditions are met. An interim threshold could be established if the owner of the trait has submitted a package to Canadian authorities for regulatory approval and a risk assessment has been conducted. An indefinite threshold could be set if a risk assessment based on all available safety information about the product determines that the trait is unlikely to pose a health or safety risk. Sharratt said she can’t believe the government is willing to abandon its science-based safety assessment under these special circumstances. “It seems to us that the Canadian government is suggesting that Health Canada’s approval process for GM foods can be dismissed in certain cases,” she said.

It seems to us that the Canadian government is suggesting that Health Canada’s approval process for GM foods can be dismissed in certain cases. It’s just shocking what this proposal is asking Canadians to accept.

I can understand the concern, but one really needs to appreciate that it’s only under those circumstances where that material has been approved by another government that has equal or better standards than Canada.

“It’s just shocking what this proposal is asking Canadians to accept.” Stephen Yarrow, vice-president of plant biotechnology with CropLife Canada, said it’s not that shocking. “I can understand the concern, but one really needs to appreciate that it’s only under those circumstances where that material has been approved by another government that has equal or better standards than Canada,” he said.

it to cross the border through a temporary threshold? she asked. Sharratt also rejected the notion that a tiny bit of an unknown substance is safe and predicts others share that point of view. “For food retailers and manufacturers, we foresee this being a major problem.” Yarrow said the zero tolerance policy for unapproved traits that is used around the world is a major impediment for the grain trade. An entire shipment can be rejected for containing dust from an unapproved trait. Canada has not had to deal with low level presence domestically, but grain farmers and exporters have been stung by incidents such as the Triffid flax case, where an unapproved trait disrupted flax sales to the European Union. That is why CropLife applauds the Canadian government for taking the lead on establishing a low level presence policy that can be mimicked by other countries. Sharratt said implementing the proposal would sacrifice food safety for trade policy, which she thinks is an unacceptable tradeoff. Yarrow is not sure what happens next, but believes the government is motivated to get a policy in place. “I do get the sense that they’re taking this seriously and want to move on it,” he said.

On the contrary Yarrow rejects the assertion that Canada is backing away from a science-based system. “I don’t see any evidence of that being abandoned.” He said a risk assessment will replace a full safety assessment in some instances, but it is still going to be a science driven process. Sharratt said she doesn’t know how Health Canada can conduct a risk assessment without thoroughly vetting the data contained in the submission. She bristles at the notion that submitting a package for regulatory approval makes the GM trait in question more benign. “Somehow they’re going to be evaluating the robustness of the data package without evaluating the data itself,” said Sharratt.

AGRIBITION | INTERNATIONAL

French eye meaty, polled Charolais to take home Continental breed | French breeders benefit from the polled trait, saving $100 per head for horn removal BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

French cattle producers who want to improve one of their native herds are staring across the pond. Br yan Hicks is Canada’s first Charolais breeder to export semen to France, where the breed originated. Hicks, who farms near Arthur, Ont., has spent decades refining his cattle based on carcass development and a homozygous polled trait. “They don’t win any prizes at a purebred cattle show. I’ve tried,” he said.

“They are too lumpy due to having extra muscle that packers refer to as meat.” Hicks brought a line of his best cattle to Canadian Western Canadian Agribition in Regina last month, including Hicks Revolver, which is the source of the genetics he is selling to France. “I’m here to develop the market,” he said. “Win? No, I don’t think so, but get some awareness of what I have to offer the beef business? Yes.” Hicks offers heritable larger jump muscles, bigger, more defined loins

and front shoulders, larger calves from his bulls and the pair of genes that deliver all polled progeny when paired with homozygous polled cows, or 50 percent horned calves when paired with heterozygous dams. The result are meaty calves, polled genetics and savings for French commercial cattle producers, who comply with strict European Union animal welfare regulations regarding horn removal. “It’s $100 per head for a vet to remove those horns in the EU. Nothing to sneeze at,” he said. “French breeders have seen what I

have to offer from marketing I’ve done in England, and they wanted their own.” Hicks Revolver and its sire have spent time in North America’s show rings, but Hicks said the “flat tops that win ribbons aren’t present in my cattle. You can pour a couple of cups of water into the (hollow) on their backs that is built by the additional muscle.” However, he said that is what makes them attractive to feeders, packers and the French. Hicks said he sources his genetics from animals that meet his pheno-

type goals and then selects from generations of calves. “It didn’t happen over night, but it did happen and that’s what matters. My cattle are judged by the marketplace,” he said. A second bull, Hicks Sir Winston, is the animal that will be siring calves in France. Charolais Optimal is handling the semen in France, Semex looks after getting it there and Foundation Sires in Listowel, Ont., collects it locally Charolais arrived in Canada from Mexican-American animals in the mid-1950s and as purebreds in 1967.

Alberta power line hits snag BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A controversial power line that may have been routed through southern Alberta’s scenic Porcupine Hills has been halted, at least temporarily, following a ruling from the Alberta Utilities Commission. The AUC said it had not approved the need for the proposed 240 kV Fidler line planned by Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO), the province’s electricity planner. AltaLink, the transmission line builder for the project, had mapped out several proposed routes for the line but the final route had not yet been selected. The Livingstone Landowners Group, which represents more than 100 landowners and taxpayers in the region, objected to the planning of the line and the route through the Porcupine Hills. It has lobbied for a route along existing power line corridors. In a Dec. 2 news release, the LLG said it “has won a major victory for responsible electricity development in southern Alberta but expects a long war.” It said the decision means AESO must file a new needs assessment for the line. In the news release, the LLG said the line “would effectively industrialize and fragment the Porcupine Hills, the Oldman River Basin and the Livingstone Range,” and said if AESO amends its plan, it must properly consult with landowners. Dawn Delaney, senior communication adviser for AESO, said Dec. 5 that next steps are now being considered. “We will certainly undertake whatever steps necessary to insure that the needs of the transmission development in the area are met,” she said. “That project specifically is needed to facilitate the connection of wind farms in the general area of Pincher Creek. We’ve received connection requests in the area … with a combined capacity of more than 1,000 egawatts ts of wind generation to be megawatts added to the grid.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Cater to consumer desires, concerns, says ag motivator Personal benefits | Farmers told to capitalize on buyers’ desires and tout products based on things consumers want

In Jolene Brown’s world, pigs fly. The Iowa farmer and professional speaker saw a pig land on the road in front of her car, where it was dropped by a marauding eagle. “Man, if you can see a pig fly, there’s all kinds of possibilities for us in agriculture,” Brown told the Farming Smarter conference in Lethbridge Dec. 6. “If we enjoy the journey, if we approach it with open eyes, there’s all kinds of opportunities in our turbulent times.” Brown talked about the influences on modern agriculture and about the five things that motivate consumers. But for farmers who describe themselves as “feeding the world,” assuming that will explain their role to the public, she had a caution. “It’s not a motivator. Is it critically important and of high value? You bet. Feeding the world is critical but it is not a motivator that keeps us in business,” Brown said. The five motivators for consumers lie in the things they desire: time, youth, health, safety and an experience. She urged farmers to think about how their products can save people time and make them feel youthful and healthy. Monitoring and measuring agricultural practices and products make consumers feel safe

with products they buy. As well, they want an experience, a “touch point” for their food, whether that’s a visit to a farm or a website that allows them to get more information about the foods’ sources. Brown also talked about the four main influences in modern farmers’ lives: pace, people, process and product. The pace of life has affected everyone, with technology as one of the main drivers, said Brown. She joked about the four main food groups in modern life: fast food, frozen food, dine out and carry out. People who no longer have a connection with the farm are also a feature of modern agriculture, and one of its challenges. “There is a world out there that does not understand what you and I do and yet they decide whether or not we can even do it,” she said. “We’d better be building some bridges along the way.”

As a frequent traveller to speaking engagements, Brown said she is asked some strange questions when airplane seatmates learn she is a farmer. She has been accused of murdering animals, playing God by genetically modifying food, and queried on whether cows that give skim milk actually drink more water. One of her favourites is a query about whether chickens get cold when farmers remove their feathers. However, she doesn’t quickly volunteer the information that she is a farmer. Initially, she tells them she is in the consumer service and products industry. When that brings a question about what she produces, she gives them the zinger. “I say, ‘the food for your family, the clothing on your back and the fuel for your car. I am an American farmer. “And by the way, do you breathe oxygen? I make it.”

TRADE | INDIA

Ag opportunities abound in India Lentils, potash | The country seeks investment and expertise in the ag sector BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The agribusiness sector is potentially one of the big winners as Canada tries to negotiate a free trade deal with India by 2013, says the chief negotiator. Don Stephenson, a senior foreign affairs department official, told the House of Commons international trade committee recently that India wants Canadian agricultural products but also technology and knowhow. He told MPs that among Canada’s targets in free trade talks with India are agriculture and food trade “where India’s growing population and rising living standards present expanding opportunities for Canadian producers.” Stephenson noted that at present, fertilizer tariffs are as high as 10 percent and tariffs on pulse imports are nominally between 30 and 50 percent but that penalty has been set aside for a temporary duty free access deal “but could be subject to India’s high tariffs in the future.” He told rural Ontario Conservative

MP Bev Shipley that lentils and potash are the two large export items now. “The tariff that either applies or could be applied to those exports in the future is relevant to us and a basic objective in these negotiations.” But India is looking for more than agricultural imports. It also wants Canadian investment in Indian agriculture. “India is looking for investment in food storage and food-handling systems beyond simply receiving the lentils,” he said. “ With respect to potash, they are looking for a long-term supply relationship with Canada.” Stephenson said India is also looking for Canadian expertise in food handling and processing. He cited a decision by McCain Foods to research the best potato variety for Indian conditions, then trained local farmers in irrigation and fertilizer application and now works with 1,200 Indian farmers who grow potatoes for a McCain’s plant there. “That also involves the transportation and cold storage facilities to get their product successfully to their

buyers in the Indian market,” he said. “Those are the kinds of investments and partnerships that India is looking for.” The federal official said Indian negotiators also are interested in Canadian expertise in food safety and agricultural efficiency. “I think we have a lot to offer each other,” he said. “Even if it is David and Goliath in terms of the size of our markets and our population, we have an awful lot to offer each other, particularly in agriculture,” said Stephenson.

AGREEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY • Canada and India are also close to signing an agreement that would make it easier for Indian professionals to work here, and vice versa. • An official with Citizenship and Immigration Canada said there were more than 14,000 Indians working in Canada at the end of 2010. access=subscriber section=news,markets,none

AGRONOMY | HERBICIDE STUDY

2,4-D study finds problems with absorbing too much protein Cereals can absorb too much auxin | An American scientist discovers the popular herbicide doesn’t allow plants to get rid of auxin as a naturally occurring protein, which can lead to excessive accumulations and impede plant growth; eventually the plant could die BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The herbicide 2,4-D has had a sound crop safety record since its introduction in 1945, gaining health and safety regulatory approval in more than 100 countries. However, a recent study threatens to tarnish that reputation if accepted by the wider agricultural science community. Angus Murphy, a horticulture department professor from Perdue University, discovered during a study on plant transporter proteins that

2,4-D can cause excessive accumulations of the plant protein auxin when absorbed by plants. The herbicide is a synthetic form of auxin. Murphy said auxin can accumulate at dangerous levels in cereals, and possibly kill them because 2,4D cannot be exported out of plant cells as naturally occurring auxin. He said ABCB4 is a protein that acts as a transporter within plants to regulate the amount of auxin in their root hairs. When the amount of auxin is high, the ABCB4 protein switches from its

auxin uptake mode and transports the excess auxin out of the plant. ABCB4 absorbs the 2,4-D when it is used to control broadleaf weeds in cereal crops. The herbicide binds to the ABCB4 protein in a way that does not allow the protein to transport the auxin out of the plant, even when the level of auxin is high, said Murphy. The problem is that the auxin accumulation takes place in the outer layer of a plant’s root cell, while the deactivation mechanism, which would allow ABCB4 to switch to transport mode and move out the

excess auxin, is on the inner layer of the root cell. Murphy said cell damage will occur if the ABCB4’s transport mode doesn’t change. Small amounts of the herbicide can cause these accumulations in the root hair cells and affect their length. Murphy said it could also cause the root hair cells to die. Seventy to 90 percent of a plant’s absorption of water and mineral nutrients takes place in its root hairs, he added. Murphy said ABCB4 is not absolutely necessary for plant survival,

but does assist in improving plant growth. It is possible to get rid of the ABCB4 protein through selection, which would make plants more 2,4-D resistant, but crop productivity may suffer as a result. He said the findings of the study are timely because of plans to promote the use of crop varieties that are 2,4-D resistant. The findings, which were published in Plant Journal late last month, are the first time a connection has been made between 2,4-D, ABCB4 and auxin. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

WATER | INFORMATION

Website serves water data for public consumption Water and Environmental Hub | Site should make it easier to access information compiled by agencies and governments BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Western Canadian water data may soon become available to all with the Dec. 3 launch of the Water and Environmental Hub. The open website platform is designed as a source of water-related data from Western Canada so it can be easily accessed by researchers, corporations, non-government organizations and individuals. Alex Joseph, executive director of the project, said it is a response to

concerns from water researchers at the University of Lethbridge who found it difficult to find statistical data for use in research. A vast amount of water-related data has been compiled by agencies, governments and other sources, but it can be difficult to find and mould into usable formats. The open portal was established with $1.5 million from the federal Western Economic Diversification program and additional funding from the Alberta government and the U of L.

Joseph said it is hosted on a cloud service that can grow as needed. He said search engines can locate water data, but WEHUB will allow anyone to upload and download information. As well, individuals, researchers and corporations that want to share data can establish a closed group on the hub. Joseph works at Cybera, a nonprofit group that the Alberta government has made responsible for spurring innovation through cyber infrastructure. “Potentially anyone that interfaces

water data in any way has the potential to benefit from this system,” he said. He sees four primary users of the hub: • Academics can use it to find and share research. • Governments can allow access to data through the hub. • Industry can be more efficient in its data use or work with other companies to share data through a neutral source. • Non-governmental organizations often don’t have resources to find available data on their own.

Joseph said minimal controls will be put on uploaded material. “I think the majority within our group feel that it’s better to remain somewhat agnostic, with the premise that more information, on average, is likely better and it would be better to give the community the tools to comment, to rate, to reflect upon the data.” The portal will also allow access through smart phone applications and other software. WEHUB is accessible at waterenvironmentalhub.ca. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ALBERTA IRRIGATION | ECONOMIC BENEFITS

Economists tally agricultural value of irrigation GROSS MARGIN CALCULATIONS

Gross margins compared | Experts find yields on irrigated land more stable

A study at the University of Lethbridge shows incremental gross margins from irrigated crops are stable over the years despite changes in farm input prices. Gross margin value, $millions:

STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Irrigation adds $250 million a year in value to crops grown in southern Alberta, according to a University of Lethbridge study. Economics professor Kurt Klein and colleagues examined the value of agricultural irrigation after they found a lack of research on the topic, he told the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association meeting Nov. 29. Researchers looked at crop production in the four major sub-basins of southern Alberta, the Oldman, Bow, Red Deer and South Saskatchewan, where roughly 80 percent of irrigated crops are grown. They used data for 16 major crops grown under irrigation and calculated gross margins by multiplying price by yield and subtracting variable costs. Fixed costs were not included in the calculations. These figures were compiled for a five-year period, from 2004-08, and presented in 2008 dollars. Klein compared those figures to access=subscriber section=news,none,none

dryland acres and assuming the same pattern would have been applied. His team based its calculations on seven major dryland crops. “This is our estimate of what would

have been, had there been no irrigation,” Klein said. Gross margins were relatively stable on irrigated land, partly because yields were more stable.

Canada’s water exports benefit food security, argues think tank Growing food helps poor, says Canada West Foundation Alberta exports water. It’s virtual water, the kind contained in goods. Jon Fennell, a hydrologist and director of water resources for WorleyParsons Canada, has calculated Alberta’s water exports at 12.1 billion cubic metres per year from wheat, canola and beef. “At the end of the day, we’re an exporter of water, and that’s a lot of water,” Fennell told a Alberta Irrigation Projects Association meeting Nov. 29. Japan, the United States, Mexico, China, Iran and Indonesia are the recipients of most of Alberta’s virtual water. In contrast, he said the province imports less than one billion cubic metres from other parts of the world. The Council of Canadians pegs Canada’s virtual water exports at 95 billion cubic metres annually and its imports at nearly 35 billion cubic metres. In a report earlier this year, the council said irrigation agriculture in Alberta is a problem because it has two percent of the country’s water supply, uses two-thirds of it for irrigation and exports much of it through goods. Roger Gibbins, president of the

Canada West Foundation, looks at virtual water another way. Given mounting concerns about food security, he suggests virtual water is Canada’s contribution to remedy shortages in other countries. “We’re not going to export water to Darfur, to India or other places, but we can export the food we produce, so we can build a virtual case of how we’re trying to address climatic challenges and water challenges in other parts of the world by growing the stuff here and shipping it out,” Gibbins said in an interview at the AIPA conference. He noted growing moral pressure to conserve water worldwide but added that conservation in Canada has no real impact on the rest of the world. “If we can put more agricultural land into production, if we can be more efficient, that’s our contribution. We’re being kicked around so much for not contributing to world challenges, this is really an opportunity to do something.” That doesn’t excuse irrigators from working to improve water use efficiency, said Gibbons. As the major user of agricultural water, irrigators have to demonstrate efficient use. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WATER | EXPERT RECOMMENDATIONS

Water experts collaborate to develop policy recommendations Five themes identified | Recent study discovered more similarities than differences among water experts in Western Canada STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Larissa Sommerfeld says western Canadian water experts agree on most water issues and are optimistic about future water management options. The lead researcher for the Canada West Foundation’s water study said more than 50 experts participated in discussions leading to a report entitled Water, Wave of the Future, released by the foundation earlier this year. “Our key finding was that, among the four western provinces, we found that there were way more similarities than differences among the views of

the water experts. We concluded that there appeared to be a western Canadian water policy outlook, as well as a similar sense of priorities.” Sommerfeld explained common themes of the report Nov. 29 to members oftheAlbertaIrrigationProjectsAssociation’s annual meeting in Lethbridge. Planning for unknown: Climate change, and intensity and frequency of floods and droughts emerged as a concern, said Sommerfeld. Planners may not be able to rely on historic hydrological data, and water infrastructure will have to withstand more extreme weather conditions. In southern Alberta, Sommerfeld

said there was concern about inability to attract business if the water supply is seen as unstable. Muddy waters: Sommerfeld defined this as issues that impede water policy development, such as data shortage and polarized views on use that pit farm irrigators against environmentalists and the energy industry. Governance: Experts agreed water policy should be higher on government agendas, Sommerfeld said. Valuing natural capital: Sommerfeld reported agreement among experts on the need to define what constitutes a healthy water source, and then reinforce that message with

strong environmental protection. Many experts also said putting a dollar value on ecological goods and services would help decision makers with the challenge of preserving environmental integrity while encouraging economic growth. Management and pricing: Experts said water is best managed on a local level but within a regional or provincial framework, and equipped with federal standards. Their idea that politics should be removed from water policy decisions is “probably more of a wish than a reality,” Sommerfeld said. Support for establishment of an

Alberta Water Authority was noted. An independent body could make more long-term plans that wouldn’t change with political whims. Sommerfeld said there was no agreement on using water pricing as a tool. “Whether people agreed with pricing or not, there was a common sentiment that there is a disconnect between the current cost of water and the way that we use water.” Sommerfeld said experts also agreed that Canadians have a culture of water waste. Greater awareness about water is needed, and the gap between rural and urban attitudes to water must be bridged. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WATER | PRICING

Pricing and conservation pressure loom large in the future of Canada’s approach to water. Roger Gibbins, president of the Canada West Foundation, believes a growing focus on water conservation worldwide will inevitably lead to water pricing, which assigns a market value to water to encourage conservation. Speaking to the annual meeting of the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association in Lethbridge, Gibbins said greater moral pressure will be exerted on Canada to use water wisely, even though water shortages are a larger issue internationally than at home. “The moral imperative to conserve I think will be growing in Canada,” said Gibbins, whose think-tank recently studied water issues. “We are finding that there is an emerging, quite vociferous debate about global supply issues and global quality issues as they relate to water.” Drought in other countries, coupled with worries over climate change and the ability to grow enough food for an increasing population, are bringing greater attention to water use in Canada, Gibbins said. He does not see water exports as a viable option, but Canada can help other countries through “virtual water,” which is water exported in the form of agricultural goods. That means greater emphasis on agriculture, which he said became marginalized in the Canadian economy after the Second World War. “I think we’re going to see a revival in the importance of agriculture. We have the water to grow what the world needs and that’s the way we can link global supply shortages and Canadian supply surpluses. The linkage is through agriculture.” That, coupled with pressure to conserve, could combine to encourage water pricing, Gibbins said. However, there is little political appetite for such a move. Government efforts tend to focus on quality rather than supply, and the largely urban electorate doesn’t see water as an issue, so long as it comes from the tap when they turn it on. Gibbins encouraged irrigators to consider their response to inevitable changes regarding water policy and shore up “political dikes” before questions arise. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SUNCOR WINS GREEN AWARD The Canadian Renewable Fuels Association has presented Suncor Energy Inc. with its 2011 Green Fuels Award. The award honours pioneers in developing low carbon renewable fuel in Canada, such as ethanol and biodiesel. Suncor is one of the largest players in renewable energy in Canada. Its St. Clair ethanol plant in Ontario and five operating wind power projects across Canada are expected to displace the equivalent of nearly one million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. Its St. Clair plant began operating in June 2006 with a yearly production capacity of 200 million litres. An expansion this year doubled production capacity to 400 million litres a year, making the facility the

largest biofuel plant by volume in Canada. The ethanol produced at the St. Clair plant is blended into Suncor’s PetroCanada branded gasoline. SASK. 4-H COUNCIL WINS AWARD The Saskatchewan 4-H Council was named the 2011 recipient of the Donner Award for education. It marks the second consecutive win for the organization, which provides hands-on learning and personal development opportunities for Saskatchewan youth aged six to 21. The annual awards are sponsored by the Donner Canadian Foundation and administered by the Fraser Institute. They recognize excellence in providing programs by non-profit organizations. The winners are selected based on access=subscriber section=news,none,none

a ranking of their performance in 10 key areas, including management and governance, the use of staff and volunteers, innovation, program cost and outcome monitoring. Seven non-profit social service agencies were recognized as the best run in the country at the Donner Canadian Foundation Awards for Excellence in the Delivery of Social Services. Awards of $5,000 were given to each of the winners in the categories of education, counselling services/ crisis intervention, prevention and treatment of substance abuse, provision of basic necessities, services for children, services for people with disabilities and services for seniors. Only one other Saskatchewan non-profit organization has been a category award winner since the Donner Awards began in 1998. This year, there were 591 applications from 570 organizations.

A new research project to combat pests in Canadian forests has received $4.2 million from Genome British Columbia and Genome Canada. Professor Jeremy Hall of Simon Fraser University’s Beedie School of Business is leading the social science research component. The project will use genomics to develop a DNA-based diagnostic test to detect and monitor pests that cause $2 billion worth of damage to Canada’s forests annually. Conventional methods of visual inspection can’t catch many microscopic pathogens. Hall leads one of several research teams involved in genomics-based forest health diagnostics and monitoring. Richard Hamelin, a senior research scientist at Natural Resources Canada, will lead the development of DNA-based diagnostic testing. The testing will aim to stop potentially detrimental pathogens from spreading through forests and assist the forest and nursery industries with plant and product certification. NEW HYBRID POPLAR TREE Tree nursery owners on the Prairies are eagerly awaiting the release of a new poplar variety developed by federal researchers. AC Sundancer, developed at Agriculture Canada’s Agro Forestry Development Centre, is now being released as a commercial cultivar for the landscape industry and is in high demand from rural landowners. The tree is suited for smaller properties because it’s not particularly big or broad. It doesn’t suffer from diseases usually associated with other hybrid poplars, such as bronze leaf and rust disease, and its root systems are controlled and don’t spread. It is also male, so it doesn’t have seeding problems. Unlike other hybrid poplars, AC Sundancer doesn’t grow fast and lives longer.

Spraying for fusarium worth its weight Higher yield, heavier kernels | Manitoba grower thinks spraying wheat fields for fusarium head blight is economically sound BY ROBERT ARNASON

FUSARIUM DAMAGE

BRANDON BUREAU

WINNIPEG — Wheat flowering used to be one of the most stressful times of the growing season for Neil Galbraith, who farms 3,000 acres north of Minnedosa, Man. Galbraith would become agitated in the middle of summer when high humidity and other factors created the ideal conditions for fusarium head blight to flourish on his farm. Based on information he had gathered from chemical companies and fusarium experts, Galbraith believed cereal growers had only a two to three day window to apply fungicide. He suffered sleepless nights and a great deal of stress when his wheat fields flowered at the same time. However, Galbraith has become more relaxed in the last couple of years about spraying for fusarium at the perfect time. “I don’t worry as much as I used to if I’m one or two days late now,” Galbraith told the Canadian Workshop on Fusarium Head Blight in Winnipeg in late November. “If you are a couple of days later than (the ideal time), you can still get some positive economic responses.… I’m getting more confident waiting until flower time to cover fusarium and my flag leaf diseases.” In contrast to the other speakers at the three-day workshop, mostly plant pathologists and breeders, Galbraith provided a first hand account of how he manages fusarium on his farm. He said fusarium has been a dow ngrading factor for wheat around Minnedosa in four of the last six years. Last year was particularly bad. The level of fusarium damaged kernels in his wheat crop was .25 to four percent and the average for the region, based on data from Galbraith’s local elevator, was 1.2 percent with highs of 15 to 20 percent. Fusarium wasn’t a factor in most parts of Manitoba this year because of the dry summer, but Galbraith still applied fungicide at wheat flowering and thinks it made a difference in his crop. “A lot of my neighbours were shaking their heads at me a little bit,” he said, as they watched Galbraith apply Prosaro, a Bayer fungicide, to all of his wheat fields this summer. “But you get into a groove and you look for yield potential.” The application may have paid off because staff at the local elevator couldn’t believe the weight per bushel when Galbraith delivered his wheat. “They said they hadn’t seen 70 pound red spring wheat before,” he said. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

His best wheat fields were 67 to 70 lb. per bushel. As for yield, Galbraith’s better fields produced 55 to 60 bu. per acre. “The poorer fields, those ones that I thought would yield maybe 30 to 35, ended up yielding 40 to 45. In a nutshell, everything yielded 10 bu. per acre more than I expected.” Galbraith said the high yields justify the hassle of applying fungicide at flowering. Buying a new air seeder in 2008 helped lowered Galbraith’s stress levels. He used to think it was nearly impossible to get even emergence on his undulating fields, which meant it was unlikely wheat would flower at the same time throughout a field and make it almost impossible to properly time a fungicide application. But the new air seeder provides more even emergence and thus more even flowering across the field. Galbraith also thinks it is now acceptable to apply fungicide a few days past the ideal time, provided the crop has above average yield potential.

Although he hasn’t done a costbenefit analysis to determine if the returns are worth the cost, Galbraith said spraying at flowering, late or not, is working on his farm. “When your crop does better than you expect, or better than crops in the area that weren’t sprayed, then, for sure, you feel it was worth it.” Given the wet conditions in recent years and the yield and quality losses associated with fusarium, Galbraith is surprised that few growers in western Manitoba apply fungicide at flowering. A farm supply representative in Galbraith’s region told him only 15 to 20 percent of wheat growers were spraying for fusarium and other diseases at anthesis. The low percentage doesn’t surprise Pam de Rocquigny, feed grains specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. She said cereal growers in eastern Manitoba have a long history with fusarium head blight and are more likely to spray every summer. However, with the exception of recent years, the disease hasn’t been a significant factor for producers in

Jeannie Gilbert, an Agriculture Canada plant pathologist at the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg, said fusarium experts may need to reach out to farmers in regions where fusarium isn’t historically a significant risk. “Maybe we do need to improve the technology transfer (from scientists to farmers),” she said. For instance, scientists need to stress that fungicides work better in collaboration with fusarium resistant wheat varieties. “You always get an improvement in the efficacy of the fungicide on a moderately resistant variety,” she said. “Control of the disease is rather minimal on a susceptible variety.”

FUSARIUM | NATURAL ENEMY

Discovery of biological control

benefits resistant varieties BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

WINNIPEG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Almost every one of the millions of distinct species that live on Earth has a natural enemy that will consume or destroy it if given half a chance. That biological reality explains why Vladimir Vujanovic, a University of Saskatchewan microbiologist, was particularly excited when he discovered a fungus that could destroy one of the most devastating wheat diseases on the planet: fusarium head blight. Vujanovic, who is Agri-Food Innovation Fund chair in agricultural microbiology at the U of S, discovered a novel organism in 2005 within a sample of fusarium graninearum, one of the fungi that causes fusarium head blight. Vujanovic eventually learned that the fungus, later named sphaerodes mycoparasitica, had a voracious appetite for fusarium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We observed that these organisms attach to the fusarium, penetrate inside, colonize, then absorb and kill the fusariumâ&#x20AC;Ś. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (an) intercellular attack,â&#x20AC;? Vujanovic said during a break at the Canadian Workshop on Fusarium Head Blight in Winnipeg in late November. After witnessing its aggressive assault on fusarium, Vujanovic realized there was an opportunity to capitalize on the behaviour of the novel mycoparasite, which naturally exists in Canada. He spent a few years understanding the parasite and how it attacks fusarium, and in the summer of 2010 he let it out of the lab and took it to the field. Vujanovic and his U of S colleagues conducted field trials at the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experimental fields and at Agriculture Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research centre in Melfort, Sask. They grew plots of wheat and barley infected with fusarium and treated some with the mycoparasite, either as a seed coating or applied as a foliar spray. Vujanovic said the scientists were amazed by the results after calculating the yield gains, the percentage of fusarium head blight index and the amount of fusarium DNA on the wheat. For instance, wheat treated with the mycoparasite yielded 37 percent more than a control wheat plot infected with fusarium. As well, the mycoparasite reduced the fusarium index by 61 percent and reduced the amount of fusarium DNA on the wheat by 89 percent, compared to a control plot. Overall, the biological agent controlled fusarium and preserved yield as effectively as a fungicide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that this is the huge advantage of this organism, that it is specific to the fusarium pathogen,â&#x20AC;? he said. T h e o r g a n i s m i g n o re s o t h e r microbes and attacks only fusarium. The U of S filed a patent and signed a licensing agreement with Becker Underwood. Vujanovic said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to know for certain when the technology will come onto the market because he access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

has to do more trials on other cereal varieties and needs to thoroughly understand how the mycoparasite functions. However, he said the biological control offers an opportunity to prolong the efficacy of fusarium resistant varieties by using the fungus in combination with the cultivar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fusarium can overcome the resistance of cultivars in three to five years and we spend 10 years to develop a cultivar,â&#x20AC;? he said. A commercial product might be a

wheat variety coated with the mycoparasite, he added. Jeannie Gilbert, an Agriculture Canada scientist who specializes in fusarium at the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg, said another opportunity is to spray the biological control on crop stubble infected with fusarium. Such a treatment could greatly reduce the amount of inoculum on the crop residue and minimize the risk of disease development. Fusarium costs farmers billions of

Concave designers think inside the box Box style concaves for JD STS combines | Light-weight frames can be easily swapped to suit crops or conditions

Everything is manufactured to fit into the original STS pocket without modifying the combine. One of the side benefits of the system is that rock damage will be limited to a small number of parts.

Changing concaves to match every crop and field condition might improve axial flow combine performance, but it’s a grueling time-consuming task. John Deere STS owners understand the benefits of an aggressive concave for tough conditions and a smooth concave that’s gentle on canola, but it’s hard to justify taking time to change concaves in the rush of harvest, said Gerald Foster of Sunnybrook Welding, one of the leaders in cylinder and concave engineering in the past two decades. In 2008, Foster investigated complaints he heard from producers who ran axial flow combines. The main complaint was capacity in canola, followed by unthreshed heads in cereal crops. Two seasons of research and development, field trials and talking to farmers pointed Sunnybrook in the right direction for a remedy. “Axial flow engineers took the conventional concave, turned it sideways and then dusted their hands of the whole deal,” said Foster. “The problem is that material flows tangentially, at an angle as it moves through a processor. It’s not in full contact with the curved surfaces,” he said. “Building multiple radii into the design helps, but that wasn’t the complete answer. It still left a lot of opportunity for improvement.” Foster reasoned that a concave frame with seven interchangeable bolt-in boxes of various designs would access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

Each Sunnybrook concave frame is half the width of the OEM frame and weighs 25 kilograms. | GERALD FOSTER PHOTOS allow combine operators to fine tune the threshing mechanism to specific harvest conditions without having to wrestle a 40 kilogram chunk of steel in and out of the pocket. Each Sunnybrook frame is half the width of one factory John Deere frame. Up to six Sunnybrook frames can be used instead of three Deere frames. Two Sunnybrook frame sections bolt together to form a single concave section that drops into the regular pocket, so there’s no modification to the combine. Because they are half-width, the STS owner will need to buy Sunnybrook frames in pairs, said Sunnybrook vice-president Dale Mackenzie. He thinks many owners will start with two or four frames, using them in conjunction with the factory frames, and then add more pairs as they realize the benefits. Each box weighs about 1.3 kilograms. A half-width Sunnybrook frame weighs about 25 kg when all seven boxes are bolted into place.

“Some of the guys who tested the concaves this year said they could change out a frame in less than five minutes,” said Mackenzie. “On the full width John Deere frames, you have to roll the rotor a couple times to get things positioned to pull one frame. It took some time. With the half-width frames, there’s no need to roll the rotor. It just pulls right out. It’s much quicker. And that means guys will be more willing to stop and make those adjustments.” Mackenzie said some farmers who tested the system this year installed only two or four frames and still noticed significant improvements. “At first we figured owners would buy just the frames they needed and a variety of boxes, so they would change just the boxes,” he said. “But my guess now is that they’re more interested in getting a certain number of frames permanently set up with boxes for different conditions, so they just swap frames.” The different styles of boxes are

The smooth box is most effective in canola. By installing one or two frames with smooth boxes, material is accelerated to rotor speed without pulverizing the material other than grain. The threshing bars are still exposed when traditional filler plates are installed underneath the concave. Too much material ends up on the shoe, so overall combine capacity is limited by the cleaning system. “The smooth surface moves material back through the system without overloading the cleaning area immediately beneath the front of the rotor,” said Mackenzie. “In canola and crops that thresh quickly and easily, boom, you’ve got all the stuff going through immediately. Now the operator has to slow down because it’s overloading at the front. We’ve found that the smooth boxes disperse the crop better. It allows you to utilize more of the cleaning area.” The smooth box and easy transition from feed beater to rotor are also beneficial in other crops and conditions. Maximum thresh angled box Perpendicular layout of threshing bars to the flow of material in a rotary combine is key to eliminating unthreshed heads. To achieve that geometry, bars are welded to the box at a 45 degree angle, which puts the square bar stock perpendicular to the direction the crop moves. The most common observation by test combine operators was that this box allowed them a marginal increase in concave to rotor clearance. As a result, sample and capacity were improved. The angled threshing bars will wear as they work material, but the box concept allows for reversal and doubling of service life. Round bar box The round bar box works well for large seeds or where gentle action is needed. It threshes and separates without overloading the shoe, which can be a problem with traditional round bar designs. Mackenzie said it’s important to avoid skin damage on delicate crops such as beans and lentils, which is why the round bar is better. “Now you have a threshing pad instead of wires. The rod performs the threshing.” The most common comment from operators who tried the round bar was that they got a cleaner sample. Standard box This box has 21 holes and functions

much like a traditional wire concave but with more square inches of metal surface in the concave to provide more threshing area. Mackenzie said it’s the same concept as the angled box but not as aggressive. “On a conventional concave, you put blanks at the front when there’s a threshing problem. This gives you a threshing pad. The performance advantage of the standard box is not tremendous, but it does have an increased service life because it’s reversible. “Really, what all these boxes do is give you more options and configurations so you can get the most out of your combine. And you don’t need to spend a lot of time making the adjustments.” Foster said there’s no doubt box design will be an ongoing process. New threshing concepts will be relatively easy and economical to try because Sunnybrook needs to design and build only a small number of test boxes to fit existing frames. He said that’s quicker, easier and cheaper than building a new prototype concave each time the company has a new idea. This will allow it to push new processor concepts further and faster than what was previously possible. Sunnybrook is already known for pioneer work in boronizing combine wear parts to increase longevity and reduce friction within the processor. Foster said the boron treatment will be an option on all new boxes. He said better combine performance puts more seeds in the bin and money in the bank, but there’s another economic factor in the box style concave concept. “A big cost in concave replacement is freight. It cost us $300 to $500 to ship a few hundred pounds interprovince. After the initial investment, the replaceable boxes are a fraction of the price of a complete concave. If a rock bends two or three boxes, that’s all we need to send you. “They can be couriered or mailed for about a tenth the freight cost of a whole concave.” Prices depend on the complexity of building each type of box. At the low end, a single frame with seven smooth boxes sells for $425. Two are needed, so the price is $850. That replaces one Deere factory concave frame. The 21-hole standard is the most labour intensive. A single frame with seven boxes sells for $600. Mackenzie urges producers to closely assess their threshing problems before deciding which boxes to buy. Because there are dozens of combinations, there may not be a single magic bullet solution for each condition. Sunnybrook plans to debut the box style concaves at the Crop Production Show in Saskatoon Jan. 9-12. For more information, contact Gerald Foster at 780-789-3855 or visit www.sunnybrookwelding.com.

Replaceable concave inserts range from smooth to aggressive and are easily swapped, weighing half of the original concaves. (wire spacing) from Precision Farming, but I still got a better sample. “I was always running the concave three or four (settings) more open than the other combines.

“I never put the concave clearance under 12, and that’s with no filler plates for the whole time. I think the secret is to put four maximum thresh boxes at the front.”

Wheat: First concave (with lip) all maximum thresh boxes Second concave was all 21-hole standard boxes. Third and fourth were OEM concaves.

Peas: First concave (with lip) all minimum thresh boxes. Second and third concave all round bar boxes. Fourth concave had Sunnybrook wide wire. The fifth was an OEM full width. Result: 9760 limited by header not feeding aggressively enough. Could pass our 9600s with flex headers and it couldn’t last year.

This is his experience. “We started to use JumpStart because we noticed in our neighbour’s JumpStart treated field that they were getting a definite advantage in the spring with the seed coming out of the ground a lot earlier and a lot more uniform. With JumpStart we’ve noticed a lot more uniform emergence, and it was a lot easier for timing for herbicide, for fungicide, and an all over advantage. We could tell on the combine that there was a definite yield advantage where we used JumpStart.” To put JumpStart to work on your farm, see your local retailer.

Sunnybrook put a number of box style concaves into farmer-owned STS combines for real-world fieldtesting during the 2011 harvest. Each farmer had access to the four types of boxes. Shaw n Abel of Calmar, Alta., installed a box style concave on his 9750. “In wheat, we ran the 45 degree max thresh on the first concave, then the fine round bar concaves, then the John Deere fine wire at the back,” says Abel. “I think the John Deere wire concave has more play in it. They flex too much. “The Sunnybrook tolerances are way tighter, so you don’t get that play. We get better cleaning through the Sunnybrook.” Abel says cleaning white caps out of the sample has always been a problem in the past. He still gets a few white caps running the maximum thresh, but not as many. He also tried the maximum thresh on a few hundred acres of peas, with no damage to the skins. “For canola, we ran a pair of smooth box frames at the front, a pair of round bar frames in the centre and the original John Deere wire concave at the back. “We had no chaff buildup over the shoe like we had previously. It kept the chaff more up in the rotor. “We gained harvest ability because there was no overloading on the shoe.” He likes the way each frame carries seven individual boxes, making repairs quick and inexpensive. “We put a rock through and it only knocked out two boxes. But they didn’t get all bent up. We were able to use them again. “It takes me less than a half hour to change the concaves or make repairs in there. Probably less than half the time compared to a John Deere concave.” The Acadia Colony near Oyen, Alta., runs seven combines. Mike Entz says they try many different things each year and compare results. In 2011, they had a 9860 STS set up with Sunnybrook concaves. His combine had four Sunnybrook maximum thresh concaves at the front with two standard Sunnybrook concaves at the back. He says the combination worked well in the tough durum field where they started, so he left it alone when they went into barley, wheat and even canola. “I had the other boxes he (Gerald Foster) gave me for canola and other things, but I don’t goof around when something is working for me,” says Entz. “I had no filler plates at all through the whole harvest. The other guys were running two or three filler plates. But my durum samples were better.” In some fields, Entz did side-byside comparisons with three other combines, all with 36-foot headers. “Some of them ran the extra narrow

Is now the right time to move to organic production? ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a rough couple years for organic producers on the Prairies. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hit hard by factors largely outside their control: weather and markets. Problems with weather are not unique to organic producers nor to the last couple years, but the recent

weather problems have been unusual. We are more used to drought than extended flooding, and we understand better how to deal with it. No one can farm well when their fields are lakes and their weeds are cattails, except perhaps the wild rice growers. However, for those not completely flooded, it seems that excess moisture in spring and fall hit organic producers harder than their nonorganic neighbours. The land needs to dry longer after flooding before taking out the cultivator out than it does to bring out the sprayer. Markets have also been problematic. Organic markets are still niche markets, strongly influenced by sup-

ply and demand, with little stabilizing structure. This means markets fluctuate, or in singer Katy Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hot, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cold â&#x20AC;Ś youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down.â&#x20AC;? Grain prices were way up in 2007. Mainstream processors and distributors were looking at entering the organic market, and production couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up with demand. Wheat was trending upward to $30 per bushel. In retrospect, we should have known what would happen. We had seen flax prices skyrocket toward $50 per bu. in 2005. These kinds of prices are great for the few who can tap into them. They are terrible for market development. Buyers get scared off. By 2006, many

organic flax buyers were buying product from China. In 2008, many organic grain buyers were looking at their options. Core organic companies stockpiled against further price increases. Companies that were thinking of entering organics in a big way rethought their strategies and moved to natural. And producers, hoping to cash in on high prices, started to transition to organic. Organic producers brought more land into organic production. On top of all this came the U.S. recession and the European economic crisis, which reduced demand. Argentina and Kazakhstan increased supply. Organic production increased while organic demand flat-lined. access=subscriber section=production,none,none

1-877-FNA-FARM | fna.ca

Organic grain quit moving. Some organic producers sold into conventional markets. Some held onto product far longer than was comfortable. Some dropped their organic certification. There was a time when â&#x20AC;&#x153;falling numberâ&#x20AC;? was a measure of wheat quality. Now it seems to describe organic producers. It is hard get accurate numbers, but many people are suggesting that the number of organic producers on the Prairies is down 10 to 30 percent since the peak in early 2008. Is now the right time to get out of organics? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been biding your time, waiting to empty the bins and retire, perhaps it is. It took a while for the glut in the market to be used up. Now we are just beginning to see prairie organic product move again at prices well above conventional. Bins are finally beginning to empty. Most buyers and brokers are cautiously optimistic. Land prices are relatively high and rental agreements reflect those prices. Commodity and cattle prices are relatively high. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good to cash out when prices are good. For those near the end of their farming years, this may be the right time. On the other hand â&#x20AC;Ś Is it the right time to go back to chemical supported farming? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bumper crop, high canola prices and the ability to knock back the thistles when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too wet to take tillage equipment into the field may seem tempting. But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially an economic decision, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that it is net and not gross earnings that count. Return on an organic crop is nearly all of it. Return on conventional crops is gross, less technology fees, fertilizer costs, herbicide costs and pesticide costs. The contamination that prevents many producers from growing organic canola still hurts, especially in a good canola year. However, in most crops, a reduction in yield is more than offset by reduced input costs and generally higher organic prices. For many people, whether to farm organically is more than an economic decision. The farm has to make economic sense, of course, but for many it also has to make environmental sense. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard many organic producers say they would never go back. Organic farming uses less energy, especially in terms of fossil fuels converted to nitrogen fertilizers. It also avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. This significantly reduces the amount of chemicals in the water, air and food supply. The use of green manures, composts and animal manures improves the diversity and function of life in the soil. Perhaps it is time to get into organic farming. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope the flooding cycle has run its course. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope the shaky economic recovery stabilizes. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assume that what we do makes a difference. The time to get in may well be when others are getting out. And we may be just beginning to turn the corner toward better days for organics.

Letter of Appreciation When we were approached by Mr. Doug Rue of Freshwater Holdings in July 2011, it was an opportunity for us to sell our farmland at a very fair price. Mr. Rue visited our home and he explained the process, which went forward very quickly. We received payment on September 15, 2011. We appreciated Mr. Rue’s friendly and understanding Manner. There were no difficulties and he kept in touch throughout the transaction. ~ Audrey and Juel.

To Whom It May Concern, My husband (Brian) and I have been dealing with Mr. Doug Rue for the last few months concerning the sale of Brian’s farmland. Mr. Rue first contacted Brian to ask if Brian would be interested in an “Option to Purchase”. Brian told Mr. Rue that he would be, and proceedings were set in motion. We found Mr. Rue to be willing to negotiate a fair price and to discuss any concerns we had. The sale of the farm was handled professionally and quickly without disruption of any kind. Sincerely, ~ Cindy, Prince Albert, SK.

FARM ANIMAL COUNCIL | ANIMAL WELFARE

WAITING THEIR TURN

Open doors help educate public Cargill welcomes cameras | Television audience gets message about responsible animal production STORIES BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Michael Martin went to the Oprah Winfrey Show and lived to tell about it. Martin, the director of communications for Cargill Inc., shared that experience with producers and industry officials at the Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan’s recent conference. “Nothing in my 34 years total of communications prepares you for something like the Oprah Winfrey Show,” he told attendees. Earlier this year, the food production and ma rket in g co m pa n y, which harvests millions of cattle every year, opened one of its beefprocessing facilities to the talk show’s cameras. Transparency was a frequent subject of discussion at the Dec. 8 conference in Saskatoon. The message to producers: animal-welfare issues aren’t simply matters to be dealt with internally. Instead, the food industry should be educating others about agriculture and animal-welfare practices. “We recognize that both consumers and animal activist groups are sort of targeting agriculture and part of being proactive is how do we get our message out,” said Mark Silzer, FACS chair and president of the Canadian Bison Association. Martin said Cargill’s experience on the show was positive — not that the company hasn’t had issues with bad publicity. He outlined how, in 2007, nearly two million pounds of Cargill ground beef were recalled. More recalls followed in 2009 due to possible salmo-

nella contamination. A 2010 Pulitzer Prize was awarded for a New York Times story on a Minnesota woman whose paralysis was linked to E. coli and Cargill. But when the company was approached for a Minneapolis Star Tribune story, the reporter and photographer were allowed full access to a beef-processing facility in Colorado. And they brought a camera. A front page story resulted, as did a call from Winfrey’s producers. Winfrey had a run-in with cattle producers in 1996 following a show addressing BSE, which resulted in a failed lawsuit against the talk show host. Martin said the company had concerns, but negotiated with the show and, a few months later, allowed Lisa Ling and crew to tour a feedlot and processing facility. “We knew there was a history,” said Martin. “We knew there would be a risk, but sometimes you have to take that risk.” The company was the focus of a several-minute long video package and a Cargill representative shared the stage with Winfrey. The appearance was deemed a success and Martin said the company was able to communicate its message and educate Winfrey’s audience on where their food comes from. “We want to get the message out there to the public that producers are responsible,” said Silzer. “ They care for their animals. They’re willing to change. We unders t a n d t h e c o n s u m e r d e ma n d s around food … and so producers are prepared to work with, ultimately, our customers on animal welfare issues and food safety issues.” access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

FARM ANIMAL COUNCIL | CONSUMER EDUCATION

Animal council takes proactive approach in educating consumers When it comes to protecting their industry, the best defence for farm animal producers is a good offence, attendees at the Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan’s annual conference were told. The animal production industry has its critics in animal rights groups and parts of the population removed from the farm who — from media reports and films like Food, Inc. — have concerns about food safety and animal welfare. “Ninenty-nine-point-nine percent

of producers are responsible and you get the odd irresponsible producer and all of a sudden you’ve got an animal welfare issue,” said Mark Silzer, FACS chair. Those concerns can affect a business’s bottom line, leaving the industry to do damage control. In a recent example from the United States, Sparboe Farms was dropped as the egg supplier for McDonald’s and Target following an animal-cruelty expose from an animal rights group. “We as an industry in the U.S. have

given our power away to the activists and they are now running us over,” Ria de Grassi, director of livestock, animal health and welfare for the California Farm Bureau Federation, told attendees at the Dec. 8 meeting in Saskatoon. Identify practices that aren’t defendable and eliminate potential sources of criticism, she said. Basically, don’t make yourself a target. Producers in Saskatchewan shouldn’t feel immune from these pressures, said Silzer.

“It’s not an emerging issue,” he said. “It’s an issue that’s here and it’s going to be with us and so we need to, as industry, be proactive in getting our message out that we are doing a decent job …” FACS’ We Care billboards were mentioned as a successful communications strategy. The campaign puts the faces of farm families in cities with a pro-agriculture message. “As the public grows more aware of how evil you aren’t, that reduces (animal rights groups’) funding,” said

Houston Johnson, operations commander with the Harker Heights Texas police department. He lectured attendees on defence — protecting facilities against threats and security breaches that result in video exposes. He said facility managers should be knowledgeable about animal rights groups in their area and watch for suspicious behaviour. But while fences and security cameras can help, education remains an effective strategy. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT | INDUSTRY DEBATE

Alberta beef producers debate supply management Trade effects discussed | One producer member credits supply management for keeping rural communities strong BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The supply management system protecting the poultry and dairy industries should not be dismantled but its impacts on market access for other commodities like beef should be debated, speakers told the Alberta Beef Producers annual meeting in Calgary Dec. 5-7. “We need a plan to move forward in the parts of supply management that impact our industry and frankly, that is the tariffs. I am not asking for the dismantling of it but as it impacts our

industry I think we need to speak on it,” said ABP member and cattle feeder Stuart Thiessen. The subject was discussed over the course of two days in what was sometimes an emotional debate since Alberta Milk producers also send delegates to the beef organization. Trade negotiations with the European Union and an application to join the Trans Pacific Partnership are at stake, Thiessen said. “When Canada enters into trade negotiations we need to go as agile as we can and we are not that way in agriculture. We fail the hallmark of

Every country in the world has things it is protecting and there is no reason for Canada to be any different from any other country. LORRIE JESPERSEN DAIRY PRODUCER

aged commodities to discuss an acceptable trade position to present to the Canadian trade negotiating authority. Kathleen Sullivan of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance said supply management policies are not always the barrier to free trade, but if one country wants open access, it must be willing to open its markets as well. “Sometimes what stands in our way varies and depends on what market we are dealing with,” she said. “In Korea, for example, the break down has been over the auto sector.” The EU wants bigger things than access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

access to the dairy or poultry market in its free trade agreement negotiations with Canada. It is more interested in gaining the right to enter the investment community or bid on major government construction projects. New Zealand indicated Canada was not given a seat on the TPP because of its supply management policies, but Sullivan said it was because the United States wanted to keep Canada and Mexico out since they are members of the North American Free Trade Agreement. However, the U.S. recently said it would not block Canada’s application, which may not be accepted until late 2012. For dairy producers Albert Kamps of Lacombe and Lorrie Jespersen of Barrhead, this is an issue of maintaining a friendly relationship with beef producers. Alberta Milk has worked with beef producers on a number of issues like environmental regulations, land use controversies and animal welfare. When the $3 checkoff became refundable, Alberta Milk asked its members not to request a rebate as a show of support, said Kamps. Jespersen said the beef industry has struggled in the years since BSE to regain markets but deals were made and Canada did not sacrifice supply management. “Every country in the world has things it is protecting and there is no reason for Canada to be any different from any other country,” said Jespersen. Some delegates said if supply management were to be changed or dismantled, dairy and poultry producers should be the ones to change it. “We have our own issues to worry about here,” said Allan Minchau of Spring Coulee. “I think the dairy industry and the feathers industry will have enough trouble defending their industry and their supply management practices from other aspects, not directly from their cousins in the agriculture industry,” he said. Others said losing the quota system would not likely sell more beef. “We need to open our eyes and look a bit broader and we should be ashamed of not looking at the bigger picture,” said Gordon Graves of Iron River. Rural Canada is losing businesses and people as agriculture profits shrink and costs increase. “One thing supply management has done in the areas where it is very strong is kept that rural community lively,” he said.

RINGWORM | TREATMENT

Vitamins solve ringworm problem ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

ingworm can be a common condition, especially in young stock during the winter. It is caused by several fungi that are fairly widespread in the environment. Ringworm is usually not a big concern, except for two reasons: • It is a zoonotic disease, which means humans can contract it. • It is a significant problem for show cattle, 4-H calves and purebred breeders exporting cattle. Ringworm develops as crusty circular lesions with hair loss, starting primarily on the eyes and face. Most animals can contract ringworm, although it is more common in younger ones that haven’t been previously exposed. It can appear in mature stock in isolated herds where it has not been present for several years. The animal develops immunity once it contracts ringworm. However, mature cattle are also less predisposed because they don’t have the stressors of rapid growth, weaning and parasite burdens that weaken the immune system and healthiness of the skin, which all can contribute to developing ringworm if the spores are present. Healthy skin is a great barrier against ringworm. Vitamins A and D are necessary for healthy skin, so a common supplementary treatment is one shot of these vitamins to boost skin health. Vitamin D is present in sunlight, which helps kill this organism. That’s why cases crop up in the winter and often disappear spontaneously in the summer. If ringworm develops in a commercial herd, the decision on whether to treat rests on how much of the body is affected. Ringworm is of no concern to the animal if it is in small patches confined mainly around the eyes or on the face and neck. Weight gains will be normal and there is no more sus-

ceptibility to other diseases. However, animals have some distress if lots of ringworm develops over the rest of the body. They should definitely be treated. Ringworm is a relatively slow infection to contract so likewise it is a slow thing to eliminate. I believe producers have a tendency to treat at a higher frequency than necessary. One or two treatments at weekly intervals are usually all that is necessary. The animal is on the road to recovery if the crust is not redeveloping and the skin looks healthy with small hairs starting to grow back. It will take quite a while for the hair to completely fill in. Show and 4-H animals should look normal three to four weeks after the last treatment. Treatment consists of removing the crusty material with a stiff bristled brush, but don’t use the brush for anything else. This should reveal a red inflamed underside that allows any treatment applied to contact the actual ringworm fungus. I use commercial products such as Kopertox, but they stain the hair green for awhile. Use hibitane cream, Crest toothpaste or thiabendazole deworming powder if shows or displays are just around the corner. I usually will repeat a week later. The beauty of these other products is they have a more natural white-tocreamy colour and can be removed if necessary. Humans can contract ringworm from cattle or other species. Practice strict biosecurity measures, wear gloves and wash well after treatment. Put brushes in a plastic bag and label so others don’t mistakenly use them for other procedures. Ringworm spreads by direct contact so regular brushes, halters, saddles and saddle blankets can easily spread it from one animal to another. T h e h e rd h a s p ro b a b l y b e e n exposed by the time ringworm is visible, so I don’t believe isolation is usually necessary. As a preventive measure following bad years, producers can disinfect rub areas by spraying compounds such as formaldehyde or phenols. These organisms are hardy against climatic conditions so complete disinfection in an outside environment is pretty much impossible. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Vaccines are effective but expensive and really have a place only in expensive show stock where owners want to minimize the likelihood of ringworm developing just before show season. Otherwise, there are many more fatal or production limiting diseases we need to focus on in beef cattle production. The important thing to remember is ringworm is mostly a blemish that can be treated. Be careful not to contract it because human cases are harder to clear up. I have had it once as a kid and three times in a 30-year veterinary career. Roy Lewis is a veterinarian practising in Westlock, Alta.

nything smaller than a sledgehammer or lighter than a house jack has probably been lost at least once on this place. I might have even lost the sledgehammer once, but the grass was tall that year. So it makes you wonder why I’d trust myself with something as small as a calving book that has so much important and irreplaceable information written down in it. It also makes you question why anyone would let me walk out of a store with a tiny, expensive handheld communications device. I guess the reason the store lets me leave with one of their phones is because whether the phone is lost or found, the bill still comes once a month for the life of the contract. And the value of the phone is all on my shoulders unless I take out their insurance for $10 a month. I don’t know anyone offering insurance on calving books, I suppose because it’s hard to nail down a tangible value. I get the book for free from either a vet clinic or a feed dealer, but by the end of the year the numbers and words I scratched down inside of it are infinitely more valuable. At its core, insurance is simple: everybody pays, some collect and some don’t, but everyone gets a peace of mind. I had insurance once on my phone. It escaped from my coveralls when I

was out feeding cattle, never to be seen again. The insurance worked and I got a replacement phone that was exactly like the antique one I lost that was out receiving calls underneath the hoof of some cow. Statistically, I figured I’d carried enough insurance and didn’t renew the plan. What were the odds I’d need it again? Honestly, I haven’t lost another phone, at least not for more than a few terror stricken days. But lately I am wondering if I should renew the protection plan. Last week, I was cleaning out the water tanks and fixing the floats and valves, doing a lot of bending over and darned near standing on my head from time to time. So you’d wonder why a person would put important stuff in open-topped pockets without so much as a flap or a snap or a safety pin. I skirted tragedy when my cellphone plopped out a couple times, but it was retrieved and maintained working order. But a few hours into the day I couldn’t find my calving book. It was in the open-topped pocket of the vest I was wearing that morning. Like we tell our kids to do, I retraced my steps. Nothing. I stewed about it all day and just before dark I looked again. There in the muck I saw a glimmer of red. I turned a few cartwheels of glee on the way to retrieve my soggy but safe calving book. I suppose I should start logging all my important facts and figures electronically and upload them to some cloud I hear tell of to keep them safe. Either that, or I should poke a safety pin through the top of that vest pocket.

A Detroit-based company and a group of Canadian investors plan to build two biodiesel plants in northern Alberta at a cost of about $300 million each. The Power Alternative of Detroit, along with Canadian investors, have targeted High Prairie and Smoky Lake in which to build two 66 million litre per year plants. Both are expected to be running by late 2012 or early 2013. “Each of them will be capable of processing up to 500 metric tonnes per day, or 165,000 tonnes per year,” said TPA president Jim Padilla. Though the exact plant sites have yet to be chosen, the two regions were selected for their frequent availability of off-grade canola that will be used as the initial feedstock. TPA has one operating plant in Detroit, which Padilla said it would like to expand if feedstock supply was more stable. In Alberta, neither demand nor feedstock are expected to be a problem. “The demand is there. Alberta right now has a mandate that says two percent of all diesel fuel will be biodiesel, and that’s in effect as we speak. “And so what does that mean? It means nearly 180 million litres of biodiesel will be used in Alberta this year and currently Alberta has no commercial production.” Padilla said he finds it absurd that the province is importing biodiesel in spite of its record as an energy and agriculture powerhouse. “That’s why we looked at this. We were quite frankly surprised that it hadn’t been done before.” Canadian investors in a consortium called New West Opportunities Inc. will own the project. Greg Radstaak, communications co-ordinator for New West, said his group consists of about six members, most of them from Toronto and Alberta. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

FARM EQUIPMENT MFG. Alberta’s mandate requiring two percent of diesel fuel be biodiesel makes it a logical place to build new plants. | FILE PHOTO The short timeline for production is designed to take advantage of a 13 cents per litre tax subsidy offered by the Alberta government that expires in 2013, as well as federal repayable loan programs for such projects, also soon to expire. TPA’s plant in Michigan will be moved to Alberta to become the first operation, and the second will be built on site, Radstaak said. Radstaak said the plants will each draw product from a 200 kilometre radius. Some crops will be contracted and New West also expects to buy land of its own. However, Archer Daniels Midland’s November announcement of a $265 million litre facility to be built in Lloydminster will cause New West to re-examine its plans to ensure adequate feedstock will be available. The new plants will use canola initially

and then move into oilseed alternatives, Radstaak said. “In terms of being a new facility, we’re kind of late to the game in the province of Alberta, but other than the ADM announcement, there hasn’t been any viable biodiesel projects that are up and producing in Alberta.” Smoky Lake County reeve Dareld Cholak said his council and producers in the region are supportive of a biodiesel plant. Officials from TPA and the New West have held numerous meetings in the region. “By getting the plants in our area … they’ll be able to buy the off-grade canola that the agriculture sector, the farmers and ranchers are having a tough time getting rid off, so it will provide a market for the off-grade canola,” Cholak said. “Diversification and keeping the

people in rural Alberta is our goal more than the assessment and the taxes.” Feedstock constitutes 80 percent of the expense in making biodiesel so it makes sense to locate close to the source, Padilla said. He and Cholak also expect the plant will eventually accept feedstock other than canola, including mustard, camelina and possibly pennycress, a prettier name for stinkweed. “We’d be looking for marginal farmlands that can’t capably grow food grade canola that we could potentially use to grow pennycress,” said Padilla, adding TPA has been part of research work into the use of pennycress for biodiesel that indicates it can produce fuel suited for cold weather engine performance. Research on the crop has also been done in Alberta.

CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE | ELECTRONIC TRADING

Open-outcry traders ready to fight electronic closing prices CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Longtime grain and livestock traders blasted the CME Group Dec. 12 when the exchange said it would allow electronic trading activity to be used to set official closing prices. It is a move that many fear will drive another nail in the coffin of openoutcry dealing. The CME said that starting in March or April it will modify settlement procedures for agricultural futures to include input from its electronic Globex trading platform as

well as the pits. Electronic trade already accounts for the vast majority of all transactions on the world’s biggest grain exchange, but the official end-of-day prices are still set by trades executed only in open-outcry floor format during the last minute of frenetic activity. “Are we going to sit here and be kicked in the teeth or are we going to fight back?” shouted Alan Young, a cattle broker who helped organize a raucous meeting of 100 brokers and traders around the livestock pits in

the cavernous Chicago Board of Trade. “There will be a snowball effect if this thing goes electronic, and there won’t be any more jobs left.” Dealers say the settlement process has helped preserve the floor, even as other open-outcry pits around the world are closed in favour of quicker and cheaper electronic trading. The number of pit traders has dropped dramatically since the CBOT launched side-by-side electronic and open-outcry trading in 2006.

Traders around the livestock pits vented their anger. “It was inevitable, but the speed and quiet nature the CME moved on this is a concern. I don’t believe clientele’s input was adequate and there are numerous commercials that are against it,” said Matt Pierce, a veteran floor trader and analyst for GrainAnalyst.com.

New CPP rules for employers Agri-business sector optimistic: CFIB MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

s of Jan. 1, employers, including incorporated farm operations, will be required to deduct Canada Pension Plan contributions from the pensionable earnings of workers who are: • 60 to 65 years old, even if they have begun to receive CPP benefits • 65 to 70 years old unless the employee files to opt out • 65 to 70 years old if the employee revokes his decision to opt out in 2013 or later. Taxpayers wishing to opt out of the new provisions must file a form available on the Canada Revenue website. Employers will also be responsible for the corresponding employer portion of the CPP payments. The extension of CPP contribution payments is intended to increase retirement benefits, but underlying the new rules is the changing nature of the Canadian population. On one side is an aging population that will place increased demands on CPP while on the other is a reduction in the number of younger Canadians contributing to the plan. In the mid-1970s, for instance, eight people younger than 65 were in the workforce for every person older than 65. There are now fewer than five and by 2030 it is anticipated there will be fewer than three. There has been much discussion recently about the need for pension reform, largely stimulated by fears that, despite a strong CPP investment performance, the fund may not be structured well enough to support the rapidly swelling ranks of Canada’s senior population and that Canadians are not saving enough for their retirement. The federal government seems to have shifted its support away from CPP reform to a new private sector funding alternative called the Pooled Registered Pension Plan (PRPP). It recently issued a white paper on the topic seeking public and business response to the proposal. A PRPP would be offered by financial institutions such as private insurance companies. Apparently, the federal government feels the regulated status of these financial institutions would be sufficient to keep them operating in a responsible manner. Companies that do not have pension plans for their employees would be required to automatically enrol them. The PRPPs are pooled contributions from many individual companies and workers that provide the investment power of many larger retirement funds. Employees who don’t want to participate would specifically have to opt out of the plan. The issue posed by some of the most astute observers of the draft plan is whether a private optional saving system driven by employee choice is better than forced saving by employers/workers through CPP. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

They also ask why workers would be more willing to contribute to a PRPP than the existing Registered Retirement Savings Plan/Registered Retirement Income Fund system. It is also not clear whether the federal government will allow CPP to stand still without enhancement in favour of the voluntary PRPP private option. Insurance companies, who will be major beneficiaries of having a new source of sales and profits, obviously are all for the concept. However, the debate on this issue is just starting so stay tuned.

Agri-businesses are feeling positive about the future according to a measurement done by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. It recently released an index for November that measures the economic optimism of agri-businesses for the coming year. The index showed optimism in the sector rose to 64.5 points. That was an increase of 6.2 points over October’s figure of 58.3 points. An index level above 50 points means business owners who expect their business performance to be stronger next year outnumber those expecting weaker performances.

“Cer tainly agr iculture is not immune to the global economic challenges that we have seen… but this is pretty positive news,” said Virginia Labbie, CFIB’s senior policy analyst for agri-business. The CFIB releases an agriculture business barometer index each month. “It really measures our agri-business members optimism levels for the year ahead and it takes into account those various cost pressures,” Labbie said. The barometer focuses on issues that have most impact on agri-businesses, including the cost of fuel, inputs, equipment and taxes, she said. The index is also a good indicator of the current economic trend in the

agricultural sector, she said. She believes stable commodity prices and stability in the livestock sector have contributed to the optimism. Since mid 2009, the index trend has risen though there has been some fluctuations. In 2009, index figures were in the mid to low 40s, Labbie said. The reliability of the index rests on the range of questions asked in the surveys. Random agri-business participants are asked to comment on their outlook for the coming year, Labbie said. The survey also requests commentary on the participants’ business including plans for recruiting permanent labour in the near future, she added. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

NUTRITION | WHEAT

Expert extols wheat benefits Education needed | Scientist challenges author comparing consumption of wheat to tobacco BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Earlier this year, Maclean’s magazine ran a cover story making the case that wheat is a threat to human health. In the piece, William Davis, the American author of a popular book, Wheat Belly, said wheat products are making consumers fat and compared grain producers to tobacco farmers, because they are growing a commodity that makes people sick. This article and other media coverage, portraying wheat as a toxic substance, prompted Nancy Ames, Agriculture Canada research scientist in Winnipeg, to seek out the health benefits of wheat. At a presentation at the Canadian Wheat Symposium in Winnipeg in November, Ames presented her findings and defended whole grain wheat as an essential component of a healthy diet. Scientific research on wheat, unlike the anecdotal evidence in books such as Wheat Belly, has shown it offers a multitude of health benefits, Ames told a group of wheat researchers gathered inside a Winnipeg hotel for the symposium. It is a valid argument to say refined grains aren’t good for us, she said. When the bran and germ in wheat are subtracted, a substantial portion of the nutrients and beneficial compounds are removed. But the high glycemic index of white bread and other refined cereals doesn’t lead to a dietary conclusion that consumers should stop eating wheat. It’s well documented that people don’t eat a sufficient amount of whole grains, Ames said. For instance, the Iowa Women’s Health Study, which has monitored 40,000 women since 1986, conclud-

ed that consuming whole grains is associated with good health, said Gary Fulcher, head of the University of Manitoba Food Science department. “Iowa was pretty damn clear. The all cause mortality rate in the population that represented the top 20 percent in whole grain consumption…. The mortality rate was approximately half of what it was for the bottom end (women who ate the fewest whole grains).” In her presentation, Ames listed a number of beneficial qualities of wheat and challenged the notion that wheat makes us fat. Study shows benefits A study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, demonstrated that people who eat more than three servings of wheat per day have 10 percent less abdominal fat than subjects who ate no whole wheat, she said. Regarding the specific health benefits of wheat, Ames said it contains nine to 17 grams of total fibre per 100 g portion, which represents more fibre than most vegetables. One of the major components in wheat bran fibre is a compound called arabinoxylan. It contains phenolic acids, antioxidants that protect humans against heart disease, strokes and cancers. Another benefit of arabinoxylan is that it breaks down slowly in the gut. “The European Food Safety authority just recently has been looking at a health claim for arabinoxylan specifically (for) wheat… that it delays glucose absorption in the small intestine,” Ames said. Phytosterols, plant derived compounds that inhibit intestinal absorption of cholesterol, are also found in wheat. Clinical trials have access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

Nancy Ames, a scientist at the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg, holds up two books, one on the health dangers of eating wheat and the other on the merits of eating wheat. She says the popularity of Wheat Belly indicates that scientists need to educate the public about the benefits of wheat. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO shown that consumption of foods rich in plant sterols lowers LDL cholesterol, which is why food manufacturers have been adding sterols to yogurt. “(There are) phytosterols in wheat and they are mainly in the germ… and they are as effective as supplements,” said Ames, who studies oats, the functional properties of cereals and a number of other subjects at the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg. Yet another beneficial compound in wheat is ferulic acid, an antioxidant in the bran that has been shown to lower cholesterol levels in rats. After describing the various health benefits of wheat, Ames said most food scientists and cereal experts already know about the goodness of whole grains. But those scientists tend to write academic papers and books explaining why whole wheat is good for us. Unfortunately, books detailing the processes and methods of scientific studies don’t lead to the author appearing on Good Morning America. Fulcher said it’s much easier to sell a story about how something is terrible and toxic, rather that a story extolling the virtues of wheat.

WHOLE GRAINS 101: Adults should eat three servings of whole grains per day. Examples of a whole grains serving: ½ cup of cooked oatmeal ½ cup cooked brown rice 1 slice of 100% whole grain bread ½ cup of cooked, whole grain pasta 1 cup of whole grain dried cereal • Read labels: Whole grain breads and cereals will list ingredients such as 100% whole wheat. However, labels with 100% wheat or multi-grain mean they likely do not contain actual whole grains, which are nutritionally superior.

• Whole grains and weight: A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that weight gain is closely associated with eating refined grains. The study, which collected data on more than 74,000 female nurses over 12 years, determined that women who consumed more whole grains were 49% less likely to gain weight, compared to women eating foods made from refined grains.

Sources: Grains for Health Foundation and Harvard School of Public Health

Nonetheless, partly to counter all the negative press on wheat, a few years ago scientists, nutritionists and business leaders in North American started the Grains for Health Foundation. The organization’s mandate is to encourage the manufacture and consumption of whole grain foods to promote a healthy body weight and

reduce the development of chronic disease. Fulcher, a Grains for Health director, said the group isn’t about collecting money to fund research. “What we’re tr ying to do… is address this education piece and get people back into the business of thinking about whole grains, instead of refined stuff.”

PULSES | NUTRITION

Pulses increase fibre, reduce fat intake and blood sugar levels BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

When most people think of eating healthy, pulses such as peas and beans are not top of mind. But with health related diseases on the rise due to poor food choices, more health professionals are stressing the importance of regular pulse

consumption as part of a balanced, healthy diet. Julianne Curran, director of nutrition, scientific and regulatory affairs at Pulse Canada, cited the beneficial complex carbohydrates and fibre found in pulses. “Pulses have a really strong nutritional profile so they are a very healthy food choice for people not

only with diabetes but for everyone,” said Curran. “In half a cup of cooked pulses, you are getting seven grams of fibre, so that is significant considering you need about 25 grams in a day.” Pulses also contain a slowly digestible starch that is broken down into sugar molecules at a slower rate and as a result, will not cause a sharp rise

in blood sugar levels, Curran said. They contain twice the amount of protein of cereals like wheat and have a low fat content, she said. A recent Canadian study by researcher Rebecca Mollard at the University of Toronto found pulses lowered blood sugar levels in the body and suppressed the appetite. “We found that pulses, when you

add them into the meal, they maintained their properties. They were able to suppress appetite and they were able to lower food intake four hours later. They also maintained their glycemic properties … (by) lowering blood glucose,” she said. Mollard recommends consuming three to five serving cups of pulses per week to get the most benefit. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

Townsend said the organization, which represents 130 seed companies in Canada, already knew it had a labour problem when it hired U of S professor emeritus Brian Harvey to study the human resource needs of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seed industry. Harvey concluded that Canadian seed companies would need 600 new employees a year just to keep up with retirements and attrition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought, how are we going to do this? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already bringing people in from all over the world. Most of the researchers now are not even from Canada,â&#x20AC;? said Townsend. As CSTA employees searched for solutions, they discovered Agcareers.com., which uses campus ambassadors to promote its job board. The service inspired the CSTA to hire students to promote the diversity of career opportunities in the seed business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The overall goal is to convince students that this is an industry that they should definitely consider,â&#x20AC;? said De Roo, who grew up on a cattle and grain farm near Moosomin, Sask.

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

mmigrants to Canada often experience extremes in climate, culture and food. Preparing their traditional recipes can be a way of reconnecting with their cultural roots. Special food rekindles memories of past holidays shared with family and friends, affirms their traditions and is a way to share their culture with new friends and neighbours. Habeeb Salloum’s parents immigrated to a homestead in Val Marie, Sask., in the 1920s from Syria. Lentils and chickpeas were traditional Middle Eastern food that thrived in the dry soils of the southwest. It was his mother’s garden and her willingness to adapt her traditional recipes to the food that she was able to grow that kept the family alive during the dry years. For the Christians of the Middle East, Easter is more significant than Christmas. As the Salloum family became more Canadianized, Christmas took on a greater significance. He shared the following two Arab inspired, Canadian infused dishes that his mother prepared at Christmas.

RICE STUFFED TURKEY This rice-stuffed turkey is different from those usually prepared in North America. It contains elements of Middle Eastern cooking, along with Canadian saskatoons. Habeeb’s mother often stuffed turkeys and chicken with rice. This is his version, with more spices. Turkey 10 – 12 lb. turkey, cleaned and washed 4.5 – 5.5 kg 4 c. lemon juice 60 mL 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 mL 2 tsp. salt 10 mL Stuffing 1/4 c. oil 60 mL 1/2 lb. lamb or beef, cut 230 g into 1/2 in. (1 cm) cubes 2 medium onions, finely chopped 1 tsp. salt 5 mL 1 c. chickpeas, cooked 250 mL 1 c. rice, uncooked 250 mL 1/2 c. almonds, slivered 125 mL and toasted access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

“For unto us, a child is born, Unto us a Son is given… And he shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 May the message of that first Christmas fill your heart and your home during this special season.

Basting Juice

Rub turkey inside and out with a mixture of the lemon juice, cayenne pepper and salt, then set aside. In a saucepan, heat the oil, then fry the cubed meat over medium heat for five minutes, stirring often. Add the onions, stir fry over medium heat for eight minutes. Add the salt, chickpeas, rice, almonds, pepper, allspice, rosemary, sage and water and bring to boil. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure that the rice mixture does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the saskatoons. Let cool for 15 minutes. Stuff turkey, including the neck opening, then sew shut and place in a roaster. Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C).

Combine hot water, pepper, allspice, rosemary, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon and oil. Baste turkey, then cover and bake for 3 1/2 hours, basting every 30 minutes. Uncover and turn the turkey over, then baste and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes or until the turkey is well cooked. Glaze For the last five minutes of baking, mix honey with boiling water and baste turkey. Place turkey on a serving platter, then serve immediately with stuffing, gravy and side dishes.

SYRUPY BALLS ’AWAMEE Habeeb often watched his mother

make a similar version of these deepfried balls. The mouth-watering taste of that syrupy sweet has never left him. This is Habeeb’s version. 1 - 8 g pkg traditional active dry yeast 1/4 c. warm water 2 c. flour 1/4 c. cornstarch 1/2 tsp. salt 2 c. warm water 1 1/2 c. maple or similar syrup 1/2 c. hot water 2 c. oil

LECHE FLAN

Nigerian Christmas Traditions

This velvety, smooth custard is cooked with a caramel syrup. For an elegant presentation, cook the flan in individual moulds or custard cups. Caramel syrup

Ade and Ola Mofolasayo, originally from Nigeria, recently moved to Rosetown, Sask., with their children. The traditional Nigerian Christmas celebration focused on praising God and celebrating Christ’s birth at Christmas Eve and Christmas morning church services, Ola said. Later in the day, extended family would gather in one home with several people bringing food. Everyone sat on the floor in a large circle, where there was much laughter and teasing during the meal.

Bringing together the world’s cuisines

JOLLOF RICE This delicious Nigerian dish can be made with chicken, beef or fish or without meat.

Add water, then stir until mixture resembles the texture of pancake batter, adding more water if necessary. Cover and set aside for one hour. Mix syrup with the water, set aside, but keep slightly warm. Heat oil in a saucepan, drop one tablespoon (15 mL) of batter into hot oil. Add several more, but don’t crowd the pan. Cook over medium heat until ’awamee turns golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain for a few seconds. Dip ’awamee balls into syrup, then remove with a slotted spoon and arrange on a serving platter. Continue until all the batter is used. If not immediately eaten, the balls will lose their crispness and taste. Makes about three dozen.

1/4 c. oil 60 mL 1 1/2 lb. chicken, cut 700 g into pieces 5 c. water or stock 1.25 L 2 onions, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 3 - 4 cloves garlic, minced (optional) 3 c. uncooked, 750 mL long-grain brown rice (parboiled) 2 c. fresh tomatoes, 500 mL chopped OR 1 can tomato sauce 680 mL 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 3 Maggi cubes of seasoning salt and pepper to taste 1 fresh tomato Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Working in batches, add the chicken and brown on all sides.

Season’s Greetings This holiday season, I would like to extend from my family to yours, our warmest wishes for a safe and happy holiday.

Remove the chicken to another large pot and add the water or stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer the chicken for 20 minutes. While the chicken is simmering, pour all but three tablespoons (45 mL) from the first pot. Heat the oil over medium heat, add the onions and peppers and sauté until the onions are wilted and translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for another two minutes. Stir rice into the onions and peppers, heat through for one to two minutes. Stir in the tomatoes or the tomato sauce and cook for three minutes. Pour the chicken and simmering liquid into the rice pot and add the carrots. Add the Maggi seasoning, and season well with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Remove from heat, let rest another 10 minutes, Place on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh slices of tomato. Traditionally, this dish would be served with fried plantain in a dish called dodo. Plantain, which is often called a cooking banana, is typically cooked green and tastes like squash. Note: Bouillon cubes could be used as a substitute for Maggi sauce along with one to two tablespoons (15–30 mL) of Maggi sauce. Serves eight to 10. Source: Ola Mofolasayo.

Custard 2 - 12 fl oz. cans evaporated 385 mL milk 8 egg yolks 1 c. white sugar 250 mL 1 tsp. vanilla extract 5 mL (lemon rind or peppermint flavour can be substituted) Prepare caramel syrup by melting sugar in a heavy pan. As soon as the sugar turns golden brown, add hot water to dissolve the caramelized sugar and form the syrup. Pour the syrup into the flan moulds or custard cups, tilting the mould to coat all the inside surface with the syrup. Place the milk into a microwavable bowl and heat the milk in the microwave until steaming, about two minutes. Don’t boil. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, then add the sugar and flavouring. Mix, while still beating slowing, then add the hot milk to the egg mixture. Before adding the egg mixture, tilt the moulds again to coat the sides with more syrup. Spoon the egg mixture into the syrup lined moulds. Place the moulds in a large pan half-filled with hot water and cover with a piece of foil. Place pan in a pre-heated 375 F (190 C) oven and bake for about one hour or until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool before removing from the mould. Store in the refrigerator after

cooled. Unmould just before serving. Garnish with coconut if desired. Serves eight to 10. Adapted from http://pinoyfoodblog.com/filipino-recipes.

Mix the sugar and cornstarch together, add water and stir until smooth. Heat the coconut milk to a boil over medium heat. Add the corn and water, sugar, cornstarch mixture. Stir over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer and thicken. Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer until fully thickened and smooth. Pour into the prepared dish and set aside to cool until firm, about two hours. Place the coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, and stir to toast. Watch carefully so they do not burn. Remove the toasted coconut flakes to a bowl. Cool and sprinkle over the pudding before serving. Yields 10 servings. Source: allrecipes.com/recipe/ maja-blanca-coconut-pudding.

ON THE FARM | SIMMENTAL

Cattle breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; winning streak no accident Agribition champions | Mixed farm family sees beef side of their operation grow BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DRAKE, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Scott and Calla Blair are riding a winning streak. They took three pens to Canadian Western Agribition held in Regina Nov. 21-26 and returned home with three championships: bred heifers, feeder steers and open heifers in the futurity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked a long time to try and win one banner at Agribition and this year we actually won three,â&#x20AC;? said Scott. The Blairs were also named Simmental commercial breeder of the year at the Simmental show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a banner year,â&#x20AC;? said Calla. Competition is nothing new for the Blairs, who run 250 Simmental cows and farm 5,000 acres of cropland 11 kilometres west of Drake. Scott and Calla have been showing cattle 20 years, about as long as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been married. They met at the University of Saskatchewan, where they received agriculture diplomas. Calla grew up on a mixed farm at MacLean, Sask., while Scott remains on the home quarter that his great-grandfather homesteaded in 1905. They work together on many of the farm chores, which Calla said is not typical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of farm women donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go outside. I prefer to be outside. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make me stay in the house. The last time I was in the house was part of a day when I had to cook the fowl supper turkey for the local community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other than that, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show season, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty much outside full time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty handy because I can run a combine, drive the sprayer, drive a semi.â&#x20AC;Ś I move cows, bale, and cut hay. I can weld. I can do whatever.â&#x20AC;? access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

Tom Mufford worked on oil rigs and in trucking but always knew he would return to a dairy farm one day. He was raised on a dairy farm near Langley, B.C., and moved to Millet, Alta., in 1992. By 1999, the Muffords had decided to move again to Hague, Sask., where Mufford is the general manager of his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rivercrest Land and Cattle operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we started, we were milking 43 cows and now we milk 250 cows,

This year, he became Holstein Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Adult Advisory Committee representative for Western Canada. He and his wife, Wendy, have been going to the young adult convention for the last three years and he knew a position was available on the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was coming up, I did make sure to know what the job was about and spoke to a couple people and spoke to the girl who was finishing up her term and told her it was something I was interested in,â&#x20AC;? Mufford said. Holstein Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general meeting and its young adult convention are held together. The young adult program caters to dairy operators aged 19-29 and involves presentations, farm tours, on farm workshops and participation in the Master Breeder awards banquet. Mufford called it a great experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to talk to other young people and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great to take advantage of the program like this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another way to contribute,â&#x20AC;? he said. Holstein Canada will hold a young adult event during its national convention April 18-22 in Brandon, but the next young adult convention will be held during the World Holstein conference in Toronto Nov. 4-8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to have it as more of an educational thing. We are all together for the four days, we want to make sure it works and it will be something that other young adults will enjoy,â&#x20AC;? Mufford said. Holstein Canada branches will contribute $750 toward the World Youth Conference and can select up to three sponsored youth to attend. For now, Mufford is enjoying planning events and making connections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped out the farm with buying and selling. I call other farmers across Canada and find out what prices are like,â&#x20AC;? he said. The other three members of the advisory committee are from Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.

CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS | A HISTORY LESSON

Weighing the pros and cons of purchasing a Christmas tree SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Origins of celebrating Christmas with trees date back centuries

Every year, my family gets into a dogfight at Christmas. Don‘t get me wrong, it is all in good fun, but the argument is the same year after year. The argument is over whether we should buy an artificial or natural tree for Christmas.

My brother wants us to get an artificial tree. He is a bit of an environmentalist and is opposed to cutting down trees for a momentary commemoration. That is a waste. My sister argues that the commercial net worth of Christmas Day has made the whole season artificial. A genuine Christmas tree would give her some satisfaction that all is not lost to what she sees as an otherwise artificial season.

What a good discussion. I don’t think that I could ever be critical of a family that shares thoughts and feelings as openly as yours. I trust that both winners and losers in this debate will come together on Christmas Day to celebrate, in front of either an artificial or natural tree. Obviously, I am not going to take sides in this discussion.

The debate you are having reflects a history of Christmas trees that has been controversial. It starts with disagreements about when the tradition of the Christmas tree began. I think that what people see as the beginning of the Christmas tree depends on people’s spiritual tradition. Some think the Christmas tree tradition got its start when Martin Luther lit a bunch of candles on a tree in his living room to replicate for his children the spectacular fireworks of the stars on a frosty evening. Others say the tradition got its break when a monk named St. Boniface spent his time converting various pagan groups in northern Europe. He intervened when a young man was about to be killed and sacrificed for some kind of a godhead. It is believed that St. Boniface cut the young man down from a tree and the tree since then

has been symbolic of a spiritual conversion. The Christmas tree tradition travelled to England from Germany through George I when he was invited by the British to assume the monarchy during the 18th centur y. George was not popular and neither was his Christmas tree, and not until the reign of Queen Victoria, a more likable monarch, did the Christmas tree gather some notoriety within the British community. Queen Victoria had a Christmas tree, and so did everyone else. German tradition was also responsible for the Christmas tree in North America. It was brought over by German settlers. Unfortunately, these settlers met with more than a hint of disdain from the Puritans, who saw the Christmas tree as a Pagan symbol, and tried to have it, along with a c c e s s = s u b s c r i b e r

Christmas, outlawed. Christmas trees did not recover until an enterprising farmer, Mark Carr, loaded two of his oxen carts with trees and peddled them on the streets of New York. I suspect that today we could still find dissenters within the Christmas tree tradition but it has managed to survive its historical challenges. We are left today with iconic memories of the happy family gathering around the lit tree on Christmas morning and sharing our love and caring. I suspect that this love and caring will thread its way through your home on Christmas Day despite the final call your family makes on whether to buy an artificial or natural tree.

I am not sure if your sister will take your advice. It is possible she could take offence, even if you mean well. You need to be careful how you word your comments and back off if she becomes annoyed. Obese children usually become obese or overweight adults and it will be hard for them to change their eating habits later in life. The solution lies in the parents’ behaviour. Your sister and brotherin-law will have to try and lose weight themselves by exercising more and eating a more healthy, less calorie laden diet. They should engage in outdoor activities in which the whole family can participate. Walking the dog every day would be a start. They should stop eating out or buying fast foods, and start cooking healthy homemade meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables and moderate amounts of meat. If the children are old enough, they could take turns cooking and make it into a fun competition or challenge. Research at Kansas State University found that helping educate parents and caregivers of young children in healthier lifestyles makes a big difference later. a c c e s s = s u b s c r i b e r
