SEEDING | CANOLA

Soggy canola fields still salvageable Canola is resilient, so don’t count it out in flooded areas BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Is a waterlogged canola field worth keeping and harvesting, or should farmers just plow it down? Results from a quick study the Canola Council of Canada conducted on saturated Manitoba fields this year suggests farmers should keep it. “I definitely would not write it off right away,” said canola council agronomist Kristen Phillips. “Canola is one of the most resilient crops that we have, and it definitely fights back and branches out.” The study found that a typical saturated field, with some parts waterlogged and higher parts just soaked, had yield reductions of 60 to 70 percent. That sounds bad, but 30 to 40 percent of a typical Manitoba crop isn’t something to throw away. Average yields appear to have been 55 bushels per acre in many parts of Manitoba. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Researchers deliver ‘hard’ news First in Canada | Lentil and pea seeds impermeable to water, won’t germinate BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — The head of a seed germination lab says last spring’s excess water has created seed characteristics never before seen in this country: pulse seeds impermeable to water. Lentils and peas from southern Alberta are showing signs of hard

seed, said Sarah Foster of 20/20 Seed Labs in Nisku, Alta. “There is not a lot you can do about it because it is a situation where the seed coat is completely impermeable to water. Water cannot penetrate it so therefore it can’t get the germination to start,” Foster said during FarmTech 2012 held in Edmonton Jan. 24 - 26. “It is something we have

never seen before in Canada and traced it back to specific areas.” Foster said her lab has started to see a trend of hard seed from the Taber, Vauxhall, Vulcan and Enchant areas of southern Alberta, which all had excess water last spring. While most of the seed lab’s samples are from Alberta, Foster believes there would be similar results for peas and

lentils in areas with excess moisture in other parts of the Prairies. Forty-three percent of the lentil samples examined by 20/20 Seed Labs have one to five percent hard seed. Eight percent of the pea samples have one to five percent hard seed and two samples had eight to 15 percent. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

‘Hard’ news for seed “In that instance, the nitrogen was really lacking in that particular crop,” Foster said. Hard seed is a type of dormancy. Some types of seed, such as clover, have a naturally hard seed coat. The survival mechanism requires the rubbing action of soil and water to break the dormancy. Lower nitrogen levels have been shown to increase dormancy. Foster said farmers should take soil samples to check nitrogen levels, especially if the new crop is a high nitrogen user. Duane Ransome, member services co-ordinator with Alberta Pulse Growers, said he has never heard of hard seed in pulse crops, although he has often seen it in perennial forage seed crops. “It’s hard to believe a crop is deficient in nitrogen when it’s a pulse crop in Alberta,” he said. Producers generally use a minimum of nitrogen with pulse crops, and the plant produces the rest of its nitrogen requirements out of the air. Germination could drop to as low as 73 percent when hard seed count is added to the number of possible dead or abnormal seeds often identified in a seed germination test. “It’s imperative, especially in lentils that have a hard time competing, to get 10, 11, 12 plants per sq. foot,” Ransome said. “It is a big enough deal to make it a concern of mine.” Southern Alberta seed grower Tim Willms said he hasn’t seen hard seed in his pulse crops this year. “My germination rates are one of

Soggy fields still salvageable “A 60 percent reduction is still a 20, 25 bushel crop,” Phillips said. “That’s still a good canola crop.” Thousands of Manitoba quarter sections looked like disasters this summer, with seeded fields covered with water and unworkable by heavy machinery. Emergence after flooding was variable and plants-per-sq.-metre

counts were low. Root systems were undeveloped and plant size was typically small. However, the crops stabilized later in the season and grew to their reduced potential. This allowed farmers, who had already invested in seed, inputs and seeding, to get much better than a writeoff.

the highest I’ve seen,” said Willms of Grassy Lake, Alta. Seed producer Jorg Klempnauer, also of Grassy Lake, said hard seed, which is sometimes called stone peas, shows up occasionally in his pea crops. Klempnauer estimated that stone peas show up in about one percent of his crop. They are from fields with poor stands and uneven germination that don’t have time to fully develop. “It is nothing that worries us,” said Klempnauer, who exports peas to Asia for snack food. Foster said producers may have to bump up their seeding rates slightly to compensate for the lower germination. Crops with high levels of hard seed shouldn’t be used as seed, even with high seeding rates, because the hard seed will just become food for pathogens in the soil. “I am sure we will be seeing more of it. It is just something people should be aware of. The good news is the levels aren’t that high.” Mark Olson, a pulse crops research agronomist with Alberta Agriculture, said he hasn’t seen pulse crops with hard seed. “It’s probably something environmental and something you deal with,” said Olson.

MANITOBA FLOODS | RESPONSIBILITY

Flooded Manitoba farmers blame western neighbour KAP convention | Saskatchewan farm group leader accepts partial responsibility and says stricter laws are needed on illegal drainage BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Some Manitoba farmers at the Keystone Agricultural Producers convention picked a familiar and easy target to blame for the Assiniboine River’s flood last year: Saskatchewan producers. “This is about the longest flood I’ve ever seen, this spring and summer,” George Harrison of Oak Lake told Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall. “My understanding is that most of the water comes from the watershed in your province.” Instead of denying responsibility, Hall accepted that upstream farmers helped create the Assiniboine’s problems. “There’s a pile of draining that has happened in that area over the years that contributed to the flooding of Fishing Lake, that has happened to the rapid runoff that ended up flooding the whole Assiniboine system,” said Hall, who was part of a prairie farm leaders panel discussion at the convention. However, Hall said the outflow of Fishing Lake is controlled, which means it mostly lengthened the flood season rather than causing it. “That’s a controlled system,” said Hall. However, he said APAS has been pushing the Saskatchewan government to bring in watershed management, and the government finally seems willing to support it. “We have a good minister,” he said. Water issues are always controversial in Manitoba, which are at the bottom of a number of watersheds and contains heavy land that drains poorly. Downstream farmers are often incensed at upstream farmers’ drainage channels, although many downstream farmers also drain as much as they can.

The day has come where the province, KAP, conservation districts, municipalities, provinces have to start working on the watershed plan. RON KOSTYSHYN MANITOBA AGRICULTURE MINISTER

Winnipeg residents often blame farmers for flooding and water quality problems in Lake Winnipeg, while the provincial government in recent years has blamed the hog industry for some of the water woes. Many farmers point back at the city of Winnipeg, which regularly has sewer and sewage treatment overflows that go directly into the Red River. They believe the provincial government targets farmers because they are easy to pick on since the NDP is elected in urban areas. The “blame Saskatchewan” approach was seen during the flood of 2011, when the province was accused of having had faulty gauges on the Qu’Appelle River. The claim was found to be inaccurate but received much publicity. Many KAP members have called over the years for watershed management, such as what has been done on the Tobacco Creek Watershed. New agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn seems serious about bringing that forward. “The day has come where the province, KAP, conservation districts, municipalities, provinces have to start working on the watershed plan,” said Kostyshyn, who was active with conservation district organizations before being elected to the legislature. “Someday some people will be very sorry that they designed these drains because there will be days they wish they retained some of that

water, that in dry years may not be that far away.” Hall said Saskatchewan’s enforcement system for illegal drainage is toothless and needs better legislation. “If you complain about it, they might get out to see you in two years, after all the red tape has been gone through,” said Hall, who lives in the Fishing Lake area. “The worst they’ll make me do is push in my trench. Within a few months I can open it up again, then that two-year process starts again.” Drainage is supposed to require permits, but “nobody’s doing it.”

TRADE | SOUTH KOREA

Trade deal on beef sparks hope for pork producers BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s recent deal with South Korea to resume trade in Canadian beef should be an impetus to resume free trade talks that would help the pork sector, say industry players. However, there is no guarantee that will happen. So far, Ottawa has been silent on the prospect for renewed free trade talks with Korea, which were suspended more than three years ago. “The Canadian hog sector is an important part of the economy and an important export industry,” Canadian Pork Council president Jean-

Guy Vincent said. “I hope this deal, which is good for beef, will lead to a deal that will be good for us.” Jim Laws, executive director of the Canadian Meat Council, which represents federally inspected packing plants that sell to Korea, agreed. “We really want them to pick up again and I hope getting the beef irritant off the table will take that pressure off and lead to a resumption of talks,” he said. “Let’s say we are hopeful that will be the result. We are not really sure why talks have been stalled this long. We think it is time to start again if Korea is willing.”

With the Conservative government’s emphasis on trade deals, the hog industry has been baffled about why it remains mute in the face of a lobby to resume talks. There is an assumption that a dispute over automobile trade is at the root of it, but Korea’s refusal to accept Canadian beef in the wake of the 2003 BSE crisis was also a sticking point. The beef lobby, a powerful voice in Conservative Ottawa, insisted that a free trade deal without beef access would not be worth signing. That is now off the table. “Hopefully that helps and perhaps negotiations on pork were well

underway when the last session was held and they can pick that up where they left off,” said Laws. While the beef industry considers Korean market access important, the pork industry ships 10 times as much product to the Asian country. South Korea has been Canada’s second largest pork market, and last year’s outbreak of foot-and-mouth in the Korean hog herd has increased the country’s need for imports. However, free trade deals with the United States, the European Union and Chile will give those areas a tariff advantage in the Korean market if Canada does not catch up, the meat council argues.

Vincent said the federal government has to realize that while part of Canadian agriculture services the domestic market, a much larger segment depends on exports. “In our industry, export market access is one of the tools we need and Korea is very important to that,” he said. “Last year it was worth $250 million and we could lose that if we are not competitive on access. We were the second largest supplier. We could lose that. The government has to understand that and act.” THE NEW HEAD OF THE CANADIAN PORK COUNCIL SAYS THERE ARE REASONS FOR OPTIMISM, SEE PAGE 15 access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ENERGY | COAL BAN

Producers miffed by Manitoba gov’t plan to ban coal Big investment | Livestock producers invested in coal heating systems for hog barns and shops BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Some hog farms and Hutterite colonies in Manitoba will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars when a province-wide coal-burning ban is imposed in 2014. But Manitoba’s new agriculture minister, Ron Kostyshyn, showed no signs of backing away from the controversial move when he appeared at the Keystone Agricultural Producers convention Jan. 25. “We’re not picking on farmers,” Kostyshyn told reporters after his speech to KAP members. “It’s a slow process of trying to educate the component of the emissions of the coal.… We have a year or two before the coal becomes officially banned.” But to James Hofer, who represents Hutterite colonies on the Manitoba Pork Council, the situation doesn’t seem slow or a matter of education. Many Hutterite heating systems cost $500,000 and provide heat for hog barns, shops and homes. “Some producers are going to have to totally abandon their coal boilers and switch to natural gas,” said Hofer. “Coming up with these regulations, I don’t think they understood how many farms were burning coal, how big the impact was going to be.” The provincial government is moving against coal as part of its strategy to penalize or prevent the use of the most extreme carbon-emitting fuels. It has converted two Manitoba Hydro plants that formerly used coal. Coal became a popular energy source for many farmers when energy prices surged in the mid-2000s. With the coal fields of Estevan, Sask., only a few hours away from Manito-

ba’s hog belt, it became attractive to install coal-burning boilers and haul in cheap coal rather than pay for expensive natural gas or other forms of energy. Installing coal-burning boilers seemed a natural choice, especially for Hutterite colonies, which often have large bulk trucks, and can work together to bring in group loads. The coal ban follows the recent imposition of a tax on coal, which farmers using coal can manage. But an outright ban will cause an expensive destruction of a lot of investment, Hofer said. “It’s going to be tough to find the money to do it.” The provincial government is offering funding that would partially offset the cost of retrofitting coal boilers to burn biomass such as flax straw, but many critics and farm leaders say few people or companies have been able to make waste-burning work well enough to be reliable. Hofer said he was disappointed to see the provincial government impose a ban rather than talk to farmers and come up with more moderate solutions. “No consultation. Just going out and doing things,” said Hofer. “You wonder if they know what drives the provincial economy and where the opportunities are.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ALBERTA PESTS | WHEAT MIDGE

Peace area growers warned to watch for midge Pest may have spread into B.C. | Sixteen fields in northern Alberta have midge damage BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Wheat midge, the tiny orange fly that can cause thousands of dollars in damage to wheat crops, has been found for the first time in Alberta’s Peace River area. Jennifer Otani, pest management biologist with Agriculture Canada, said the insect was first detected near Fort Vermilion in the far north, but was found throughout the Peace when researchers searched for it. “Where we thought it was just going to be was around Fort Vermilion and Manning at the beginning,” Otani

told producers at the Farmtech 2012 conference in Edmonton. “It is all the way to Grande Prairie, High Prairie and McLennan. It seems like it is throughout and in very low densities.” Sixteen fields were found to have larvae and midge damage. Core soil samples also showed larvae in the soil of other fields. “They are very small insects, but they can have a big impact,” said Otani. “This is certainly a new thing we are going to have to deal with.” Wheat midge caused $40 million in damage on the Prairies in 2006. In Alberta, the traditional hot spots are in the southern part of the province.

Otani said farmers and agrologists must be vigilant in monitoring and searching for the pest. “Monitoring becomes key. It’s not at a serious stage where we need to be thinking of midge resistant varieties, but rather consider rotations and do monitoring.” Adult midge emerge from the pupae stage in late June or early July. Females lay eggs in the evening on the newly emerged wheat heads. After hatching, the small orange larvae move from the outer surface to the head to feed on the kernels. The larvae crawl off the wheat after two to three weeks and bury themselves in the soil.

Otani said farmers need to learn more about the insect to help reduce the damage that can downgrade grain. “It was fairly serious damage in a few fields.” Otani doesn’t know how it came to the Peace River area, but suspects it has slowly dispersed and moved north over the years. She said it is likely also in the British Columbia Peace, but she never had time to survey B.C. fields. Otani said she has talked to researchers in Winnipeg who found wheat midge larvae 10 years ago near Beaverlodge, Alta., but could never find it again.

PESTS | GRASSHOPPER FORECAST

Hoppers expected this spring in Alberta Grasshopper forecast | Saskatchewan, Manitoba predicted to have few troubles with grasshoppers this spring BY MARY MACARTHUR & ROBERT ARNASON CAMROSE, BRANDON BUREAUS

EDMONTON — Saskatchewan and Manitoba look safe from grasshoppers this year, according to the 2012 forecast, but Alberta farmers need to beware. “Alberta gets to be the lucky contender with grasshoppers this year,” said Jennifer Otani, an Agriculture Canada entomologist. “The forecast in Alberta has pockets with severe populations, but that depends what happens in the spring. The weather could change a lot of things and means numbers could go a lot lower or higher,” Otani told farmers at FarmTech 2012. Alberta isn’t expected to have serious infestations, but there will be pockets. The 2012 grasshopper forecast map is based on adult grasshopper counts across the province in 2011. The weather in the upcoming crop year could increase or decrease populations. Otani said each field is going to be slightly different and farmers need to pay attention, especially in tradition-

ally higher grasshopper areas. The appearance of nymphs is when farmers must decide if it’s economically viable to spray a pesticide. The nymphs are the voracious eaters that can seriously damage fields. “We really want to encourage peo-

ple to get out early looking for nymphs so it’s a little easier to control with pesticides.” Otani said she often gets calls when it seems insects “come out of nowhere” and become a problem. Monitoring fields for pests throughout the year

helps farmers deal with the pests before they become a problem. “These insect pests don’t come out of nowhere. The key is monitoring.” In Manitoba, the potential for a grasshopper infestation is almost non-existent this year because 2011

and 2010 were so wet. In hopper surveys conducted last August, 99.97 percent of the sites had very light counts, which meant zero to four hoppers per sq. metre. Manitoba Agriculture entomologist John Gavloski said grasshoppers have hit a low point in their population cycle. “We have seen low levels like this before, but we’re at a valley … in that cycle,” he said. “For it (the population) to build back up again, you would probably need a few years with favourable weather for the grasshoppers.” The situation is similar in Saskatchewan, where last year’s cool and wet spring hindered grasshopper development. Hopper counts were very light across most of the province last year. The notable exception was near Meadow Lake, where fields had severe to very severe grasshopper numbers last year. Some sites recorded more than 24 grasshoppers per sq. metre. Areas around Watrous and Kindersley also had light to moderate populations, and producers will have to watch for potential outbreaks this year.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | NEW FOCUS

CWB aims to retain staff, win farmers’ confidence in new era Gearing up | For decades the Canadian Wheat Board system has determined to a large degree how the western Canadian grain trade operates. But as the CWB sales monopoly appears to be ending, farm groups, grain companies and regulators are installing a new set of gears for a changed marketing machine. In this series, Winnipeg-based reporter Ed White looks at changes happening throughout Winnipeg’s grain trade, which has long served as the main base of operations for the industry. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The mandate’s different, but there is a new mandate in a market that makes sense and creates some opportunities for us. GORD FLATEN CWB VICE-PRESIDENT OF MARKETING

ro-monopoly directors and senior managers argued strenuously for years that the Canadian Wheat Board could not survive without a monopoly. In fact, they argued that the board had no point without a monopoly. Those arguments were passionately embraced by many who saw the wheat board debate as an economic and ideological cause celebre, as a defining either/or situation of the free market versus a fair market. However, they now create a credibility and marketing challenge for the organization as it works hard with little time on a crucial new campaign: convincing farmers and its own staff that the post-monopoly CWB not only has a point but is the best option for farmers to market their crops. It won’t be an easy task, but it’s one that senior board officials like Gord Flaten have embraced. As the vice-president of marketing and sales crisscrosses the Prairies promoting the new board’s marketing options, Flaten is telling farmers to put aside the monopoly debate and simply think about whether the new offerings are something they want. “Rather than trying to relate everything to the past debate, the important thing is to look at what’s the situation now,” said Flaten in an interview during the CWB breakfast at Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon.

CWB’S 2012 PROGRAMS The Canadian Wheat Board issued a “sneak peek” summary of marketing programs planned for 2012: • Pre-harvest & harvest pools to stabilize prices and generate returns throughout the pooling period via initial, adjustment and final payments. Early payment options also available. • Futures contracts to protect prices on chosen base grades will lock in futures-based price and delivery. Payments made after basis lock-in and delivery. • Cash contracts with upfront pricing so producers can choose when to price and sell. Full payment made soon after deliveries that are made in accordance with contract terms. Source: CWB

“Is the CWB, the way we’re going to operate it, going to be a good option for farmers? Will the board’s array of short and longer-term pools, cash prices and marketing advisory services be something that farmers will want to use and actually benefit from?” Marketing advisers and analysts have usually answered those questions with “maybe” and “probably,” while farmers interviewed at Manitoba Ag Days and St. Jean Farm Days in early and mid-January seemed to

be both loyal to the board and willing to give it a shot. “I’m going to keep an open mind about using CWB 2.0,” said one farmer at Ag Days. “It depends on how they set it up,” said another. “If it has to be all-or-nothing, it’ll be a tough choice,” said a third. Most farmers said they would like to use the board and that they still trust it to put farmers first. Farm marketing adviser Brenda Tjaden Lepp said pooling and the board’s financial guarantees from the federal government give it crucial advantages. “How do you know you’re going to get paid? There are going to be lots of people coming into Western Canada wanting to sell farmers’ grain, but if you don’t know them, how can you know they will be able to pay you?” said Tjaden Lepp. “That (federal) guarantee could be very important for a lot of farmers in the new environment.” If the board ends up being the only organization offering pooling, that too could be important, she said, because it’s a simple form of risk management that could work for a portion of most farmers’ crops. A different nut to crack for senior board managers is convincing staff that the agency has a point and can survive.

Many of them were imbued with years of pro-monopoly preaching by farmer-directors and senior staff and embraced that view. Now they have to wrench their thinking into a different direction, which could be tough for those who were attracted to working for the board because of its ideology. “It’s a big change. It’s a big change for the company and therefore for the people that work for the company,” acknowledged Flaten. “The mandate’s different, but there is a new mandate in a market that makes sense and creates some opportunities for us. We have the skill sets and the experience that will allow us to do well in that new environment.” Neither of the two top men at the board, chief executive officer Ian White and chair Bruce Johnson, have been attached to ideologically focused monopoly rhetoric, so their ability to front the new non-monopoly organization does not seem hypocritical, most say. At the CWB breakfast in Brandon, half a dozen CWB farm business representatives seemed gung-ho about their new role. They have spent the winter talking to the thousands of farmers they know, who want to give the board a shot but need to be convinced the board can still do something for them.

FUTURES | CROPS

Trading gets off to slow start Wary buyers wait it out | More volume needed STORIES BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The new spring wheat, durum and barley futures have stumbled out of the ICE Futures Canada exchange and made little progress. However, brokers and analysts say that’s not a surprise. New futures contracts always have trouble getting up and going, and the prairie grain industry is up in the air about so much that it isn’t surprising traders and grain companies are holding back. “At least we’ve had a few trades in everything,” said Ken Ball, a broker with Union Securities. “It’s really going to take a few months to build these contracts. It’s hard to tell in the first few days.” He won’t put his clients into the new markets until grain companies and grain buyers are actively trading the contracts. Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications in Calgary agreed. “We aren’t willing to come forward until we see better liquidity,” said Anderson. “We don’t want to put a client at risk. I’m just waiting for the commercials to step forward and start using it.” Barley futures have traded every day since the new contract was unveiled, but the milling wheat and durum contracts are having periods when no trading occurs. The futures are based on prairie delivery points across the West, so

prices should converge to on-prairie cash prices. ICE Canada will have trouble winning over big grain companies and users even with a perfect design, said Darin Newsom of DTN. Three existing North American wheat contracts means the need for another will have to be demonstrated. “Getting them to move away from those markets is going to be difficult,” said Newsom. Some traders see the Winnipeg contracts as a useful extra opportunity to do spread trading between the wheat markets and taking advantage of discrepancies between markets. If the Winnipeg contracts are seen that way, they could increase trading in all contracts. Others see the Winnipeg contracts as an attempt to replace Minneapolis, on spring wheat at least, and therefore will more likely cannibalize existing trade than create new trade. Newsom said the biggest obstacle will be to convince the big trading companies and firms to give the new futures a try. “It’s going to be very hard to break away from the long-held belief that you need to use the Chicago, Kansas City or Minneapolis, even though it’s certainly a possibility.” Ball said he is confident the contracts will do well, if they ever get a chance. “There are probably thousands out there who would like to trade it but won’t until they can see a little bit more volume,” he said. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

ECONOMICS | COMMODITY, CROP PRICES

Reconciling opinions on outlook for global economy Gains expected in commodity assets | Economic downturn could affect countries around the world Many markets observers might wonder how to reconcile the following three opinions on the state of the global economy. Economist Nouriel Roubini: “The outlook for the global economy in 2012 is clear, but it isn’t pretty: recession in Europe, anemic growth at best in the United States and a sharp slowdown in China and in most emerging-market economies.” Standard Chartered Bank chief economist Gerard Lyons: “The east itself is cooling down, but it’s still in pretty good shape. The western economies are still trying to get over the overhang of debt.” World markets: The S & P 500 U.S.

stocks index has been rallying since mid-December and the CRB commodities index has been doing the same. Why the strength in commodity and crop prices if there is so much grimness in the air? Most analysts say world markets have become accustomed to the lingering problems of the U.S. economy, still believe a financial meltdown can be averted in Europe and still expect China to keep gobbling up commodities and keep resource prices relatively high, including those for crops. As long as world markets believe that commodity consumption will carry on, regardless of the world’s

problems, there is a basis for strong commodity prices. But that could be cut short if Europe unravels, China hits the ground hard or the U.S. slips back into recession. Leading central bankers are sounding less relaxed about the world situation than most traders and politicians, and used last week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to make their points. “There’s a very strong view of, ‘get on with it. Get this thing done,’ ” said Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, who has become one of the globe’s most respected central bankers. U.S. Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke reiterated that his institution would keep interest rates at record low

levels for another few years. Rather than sounding a warning bell, most markets saw this as a reason to be bullish on commodities, which should increase in value if money is allowed to be more plentiful. Famed investor and currency expert George Soros warned that the euro currency meltdown could send shockwaves across the globe, something many nations cannot afford to take. International Monetary Fund director Christine Lagarde preached the same message. “It’s not just a eurozone crisis. It’s a crisis that could have spillover effects around the world,” she said. Farmers rely on the overall com-

modities market, including metals and energy, to set the foundation for crop prices. Some estimates have pegged the non-agricultural commodity complex influence on crop prices at more than 80 percent, so whatever affects overall commodity prices is important. This year still looks bullish to Barclays Capital, the investment advisory for Barclays Bank of England, despite the world’s problems. “Commodities markets have started 2012 in encouraging fashion and although the recent rally is vulnerable to setbacks, we expect steady gains in commodity assets across the year,” said Barclays’ Commodities Weekly report. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

DURUM DIPS IN LATEST CWB POOL RETURN OUTLOOK

Interest in new contracts essential

In its newest Pool Return Outlook, the Canadian Wheat Board lowered durum values between $2 and $11 per tonne, with the exception of No. 5 CWAD, which increased $1 per tonne. Wheat values are relatively unchanged, while malting barley values dropped $1 per tonne. Pool A feed barley is unchanged.

rairie farmers could soon benefit from two re-energized institutions that have long been at the centre of prairie crop pricing and marketing. Or they could see these institutions fade and fail and the new postmonopoly environment become decidedly less farmer-friendly. If either manages to repackage itself successfully, it could become central to how thousands of farmers price, hedge and sell their crops. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about Winnipegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commodity exchange, now called ICE Futures Canada, and the Canadian Wheat Board. Both have played crucial roles in revealing crop prices to prairie farmers: the exchange since 1887 and the CWB since either the First World War (early attempts) or 1935 (permanent establishment). Right now, the exchange is promoting its new futures contracts for spring wheat, durum and barley, while the CWB is telling farmers about its new suite of marketing programs. Farmers have a lot at stake here. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking through a glass darkly at wheat prices if the exchange fails to make these new prairie-based futures work because they will have to watch U.S. futures prices, back them off to prairie locations and realities and calculate foreign exchange impacts. There are no U.S. futures for durum and barley, so for those crops they would be stuck calling elevators and being told the price. The futures seem sound in design, being based on the popular and successful canola contract, and should truly represent prairie prices, if anyone trades them. Trade of the new futures contracts has been weak, to the say the least, with only a handful traded in their first week of existence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not encouraging, although not necessarily unexpected because they are new-crop contracts and most futures trade is always with nearby months. Analysts and brokers have told me

The Winnipeg Commodity Exchange must attract interest in its new contracts quickly to keep them in the spotlight. | FILE PHOTO theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not worried, yet, but at some point people need to start buying and selling these things or they will fail. Right now everyone seems to be waiting for someone else to go first. Farmers are unlikely to play much of a role here because they are tiny players and the contract size of 100 tonnes is too big for many farmers until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough trading to allow them to get out of positions when required. The wheat board is at an earlier stage of reformation, with just bare details of its new programs available now, and a series of layoffs expected to continue as the organization skinnies itself down for a reduced role. But the outlines of its new programs are encouraging and show the board is going to fill a much-needed role: hedging and professional crop sales advisory services. Confidence factor The point of the old board was the premium it said it gained from its monopoly, but the point of the new board seems to be its ability to offer pricing and hedging services that farmers can trust. The CWB will still be working for farmers rather than shareholders, and still be selling farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grain directly rather than just flipping it. As a result, its people might seem more trustworthy than the agents who work for other profit-driven companies. The board has a squad of farm business representatives who have been working with farmers for years with Producer Payment Options, so they should easily become agents of the new order. Thousands of farmers trust these people. The board has the ability to move into marketing and hedging crops

beyond wheat, barley and durum, and it would make sense to do so. Why have one adviser for grains and one for everything else? That might seem to put the new board into conflict with private farmer advisory services and brokers, which have grown fast and developed well in recent years as farmers have become more professional with their risk management. In reality, most farmers still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take risk management anywhere near as seriously as they should, so rather than slicing up todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hedging pie into smaller slices, the CWBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is likely to stretch the hedging pie much wider and give everyone a bigger bite. Lots of farmers distrust and dislike private sector marketing folks, whether with grain companies or marketing companies, so the CWBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergence as a general crop marketer probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t steal much from anyone else and would bring a lot more people into the world of serious marketing. The CWB has longer to get its act together, at least on the advisory side if not the grain sales side, because most farmers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to sign grain sales contracts when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the premiums and discounts will be for not hitting contract specifications. That will be the situation for months, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got time to get it right. The commodity exchange, on the other hand, needs to quickly convince farmers, grain companies and speculators that its new contracts are viable and a good way to hedge price risk. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do that overnight, but soon everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to want to see significant trade on a daily basis in the contract, or they will probably fade away. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

U.S. beef consumption to fall BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SASKATOON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The United States faces a sharp decline in per capita beef consumption by consumers battered by ongoing economic woes and record retail prices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Demand is strictly an economic measurement based on what people will pay,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Kay, editor and publisher of Cattle Buyers Weekly. High unemployment and energy prices, along with record protein prices, are affecting how people spend their food dollars. Demand is expected to be flat through most of 2012 after decent

gains last year, he said. In November, the record beef price was $4.50 per pound, up 9.5 percent year-over-year. Pork was also up 5.7 percent to $3.51 per lb. Chicken was down 1.5 percent to $1.79 per lb. Kay said prices will have to go higher because packers paid more for cattle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beginning to regret that,â&#x20AC;? he told the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Symposium. The $4.50 retail price reflects live cattle at $112 per hundredweight, he said, but live prices were around $122 just recently. Prices for all fresh beef would have to rise to $5 per lb. to fully reflect cattle at that price, he added. access=subscriber section=markets,livestock,news

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 2, 2012

CANFAX REPORT PRODUCTION DOWN The consequences of a smaller Canadian cattle herd has been reflected in beef production for 2011. Canfax estimates total production will be 2.9 billion pounds, 14 percent lower than the previous year and the smallest level since 1995. Carcass size is the greatest difference, with a final weight of 857 lb. compared to 768 lb. in 1995. Last year, 2.93 million head were marketed compared to nearly three million 16 years ago.

cut-out values for the week ending Jan. 20 saw both AA and AAA trend $1.50 per cwt. lower than the previous week. Canadian fed slaughter was down three percent from last week at 43,269, and year-to-date volumes for the same time were down 13 percent U.S. processors are facing red ink and passed the losses on to retailers in the form of higher beef prices. Reduced slaughter volume occurred as plants scaled back hours, but buyers are looking for feedlot cattle so prices improved over last week.

BEEF TRADE UP SLIGHTLY

CANADIAN FEEDER SURGE

The beef trade saw a slight improvement over last week. The Montreal market for next week’s delivery was up $1 from last week, trading at $209$211 per hundredweight. Canadian

Milder western weather saw bigger volumes of cattle come to town and prices surged higher by $7-$9 per cwt. over last week. Heifers were slightly lower.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT DEMAND REMAINS STRONG Packers paid up this week and received fewer hogs at lower weights, market sources said. However, demand held strong at most locations amid slipping profit margins. Packers had their reasons for continued buying in the face of lower profit margins: the extreme bear might take margins back to break even to compensate for fewer, smaller hogs, lower cut-out values and profit margins. The average pork plant profit margin Jan. 27 was estimated at a negative $16.65 per head. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs traded at $66 US per hundredweight Jan. 26, up from $63 Jan. 20. The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $83.26 Jan. 26, down from $85.64 Jan. 20. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.167 million, down from 2.221 million the previous week.

SHEEP, LAMBS Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 871 sheep and 118 goats sold Jan. 23. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $246-$275 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $227$258, 86-105 lb. were $195-$235 and 106 lb. and heavier were $184-$198. Wool rams were $89-$110 per cwt. Cull ewes were $85-$100 and bred ewes were $240-$300 per head. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $230-$258 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $219$250, 86-105 lb. were $180-$200 and 106 lb. and heavier were $170-$188. Hair rams were $85-$95 per cwt. Cull ewes were $90-$110. Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $180-$245. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $200-$245 per cwt. Nannies were $91-$106 per cwt. Billies were $112.50-$140. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 980 sheep and lambs and nine goats traded Jan. 23. Well-fed light lambs sold in premium ranges. Heavy lambs and goats sold steady. Sheep traded $5-$7 cwt. lower.

BISON The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.80-$4 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.60-$4. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.40-$2.70. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Feedlots are restocking pens as fall yearlings head to market. Steers in the 600-800 lb. range saw the greatest demand with prices up $7.50 per cwt. compared to last week. Heifers in the 500-700 lb. range traded $9-$10 higher. Demand is expected to remain steady next week, but feedlot demand moving forward could soften if overbought cattle futures continue to be liquidated. Top-end feeder steers in the 400–500 lb. range were $175–$210 for the week ending Jan. 27, while heifers were $155–$187 per cwt. The 500–600 lb. category saw steers at $170-$195 and heifers from $147–$175 per cwt. Steers at 600–700 lb. traded at $150$176 with heifers at $132–$159 per cwt. In heavier categories, steers weighing 700–800 lb. fetched $140–$162 and heifers were $137–$159 per cwt. The 800-900 lb. range were $130-$152 and

heifers were $122-$140 per cwt. Ontario prices for all classes were $10 per cwt. lower. U.S. feeder cattle futures remain intact with March closing at $154 US per cwt. Jan. 27.

RAIL GRADE PRICES STRONGER FOR FATS Canfax fed cattle averages for the week found Alberta steers were $114 Cdn per cwt. and $190.50-$191.50 on the rail. No prices were available for live heifers and rail grade quotes were the same as steers. Ontario steers were $119-$126.44 and broke the $200 mark on the rail, selling between $200-$206 per cwt.

ANTIBIOTICS | LIVESTOCK, HUMAN HEALTH

CRAIG’S VIEW

Prudent antimicrobial use key to food safety, supply

ntibiotic: (noun) A substance capable of destroying or weakening certain micro-organisms, especially bacteria or fungi, that cause infections or infectious diseases. That sounds powerful, doesn’t it? And antibiotics are indeed powerful in protecting human health. Loss of their effectiveness because of development of bacteria resistant to their force is a matter of widespread public concern. If the drug won’t wipe out the bug, there are a limited number of other alternatives to treat infectious diseases. Of course, many of the same antibiotics used for human health reasons are also vital to livestock health and production, and they are widely used in livestock to prevent and treat illness. That wide use may also mean greater opportunity for bacteria to develop resistance. And that’s why microbial use in livestock production is under such scrutiny. The concern isn’t new, by any means. Because of it, the European Union banned the feeding of antibiotics to livestock for growth promotion back in 2006. Resistance had been closely studied before that, and has been since. But now Germany is tightening its checks on antibiotic use in livestock for any purpose, and the United States is considering more stringent rules for use of a large class of microbials called cephalosporins. Concern is clearly intensifying and that should sound a warning bell for Canadian livestock producers. Though a ban on antimicrobial use is unlikely, not to mention foolhardy in terms of animal health and welfare, there could be additional restrictions on use. It could mean more tracking and record keeping. It could mean antimicrobial availability only through veterinary prescription. The potential for higher costs is something producers must consider. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) recently called for action against abuse of antimicrobials in livestock while cautioning against restrictions that would reduce livestock numbers.

“The use of antibiotics is today essential to ensure sufficient animal production to feed the planet,” the OIE director told a news conference. “Without antibiotics, there would be supply problems of animal protein for the human population.” The acknowledgement that excessive limits on livestock antibiotic use could threaten the food supply is testament to their importance in economical production of healthy food. At an international convention in Toronto last fall, researchers agreed that prudent use of antimicrobials in human medicine and livestock production is key to curbing further development of resistant bacteria. They also agreed that the extent of the problem is unknown, so close monitoring is needed. Canada is doing its part. The Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance has been monitoring levels for at least 10 years. Various research projects are underway across Canada to explore and gauge the problem and develop appropriate responses. But livestock producers have the biggest role to play, and it goes back to that word used by international researchers: prudence. Those who use antimicrobials in cattle, hog and poultry production must ensure their use is justified, measured and defensible. Otherwise they run the risk of wide restrictions that could limit their use of antimicrobials, including those that aren’t used in human medicine. As far as the public is concerned, prophylactic use of antimicrobials in particular is poorly understood. Why provide antibiotics to animals that aren’t sick, they ask? It is up to livestock producers and their veterinarians to explain the benefits of preventing illness. Animal production methods must not threaten human health. Livestock producers know that as well as anyone. Their prudence, combined with ongoing research, is required.

NATIONAL PARTIES | POPULARITY SHIFT

Liberals taking over as de facto opposition party in Parliament NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

s Parliament resumed Jan. 30, Liberal MPs seemed to have an added spring in their step and they had reason. Less than nine months after their worst electoral defeat in Canadian history, falling to a poor third place with less than 19 percent of the vote, the party is experiencing something of a revival. Interim leader Bob Rae (that first

word is superfluous since Rae has no intention of being ‘interim’ but until they decide formally, we play their silly game) has been running circles around the (really) interim New Democratic Party leader Nycole Turmel and Liberal MPs have seized the opposition spotlight on many issues. Polling results show the effect, although opinion polls almost four years before the October 2015 election are about as useful as predicting the weather in 2015. On Jan. 30, Nanos Research published a poll that had the Liberals firmly in second place nationally, eight points behind the governing Conservatives but more than two percentage points ahead of the fading NDP who polled 25.2 percent. On May 2 election night, the NDP polled almost 12 percent higher than

the Liberals — 30.6 percent to 18.9 percent. In the Nanos “leadership index,” Rae had less than half the rating of prime minister Stephen Harper but more importantly, more than double the rating for Turmel who is falling as Rae soars. Lest Liberals become giddy with prospects of soon coming out of the electoral woodshed to resume their natural position of government or government-in-waiting, there are clear reasons for the turn around, at least in the short-term. Rae has been a professional politician for more than three decades and knows his way around the arena in both official languages. His disastrous run as a 1990s NDP premier of Ontario is far behind but also not an issue as long as he is not in a serious

race for the prime minister’s office. By contrast, Turmel as a rookie MP and former union leader who speaks Stéphane Dion English was thrust into the unwanted role as opposition leader when Jack Layton died. She is underwhelming. With the NDP leadership race unfolding largely under media radar, eight of the better-performing NDP MPs are out of the picture because they are leadership candidates and have lost their critic roles. Media go where the good quotes lie. Coverage implies credibility and the vicious circle begins. Few issues better illustrate how the NDP has lost its way than the fact that as the debate over the future of the Canadian Wheat Board reached its parliamentary climax late last year, opposition to Conservative plans to

end the single desk became a Liberal crusade. While it had been a natural NDP issue and critic Pat Martin had been the most effective and quotable critic with the CWB head office in his riding, by the time the issue came to a head, NDP guns largely had fallen silent. Liberals, with a spottier record on the CWB, became the champions. It was amazing to watch. The third place party with just one-third of NDP seat totals and almost no Prairie representation became the go-to CWB champions. But the Liberal advantage, now clear, may soon be exposed as a dead cat bounce. Once the NDP have a new leader in late March, the real battle for second place will start and the Liberals should not assume an easy ride.

& OPEN FORUM FLOODING | DRAINAGE POLICIES

GOV’T POLICY | COMMUNICATION

Manitoba must lead on drainage issues

Speech abroad unlikely to impress retirees

BY BOB GRANT

looding was a problem last year not only in Manitoba but also in Saskatchewan. Both provinces faced enormous costs associated with lost crops, washed out roads and culverts and destroyed homes. In fact, flooding in Manitoba will cost taxpayers $1 billion in damages and flood-fighting efforts. This wasn’t the first year Manitoba was forced to deal with water issues. We’ve been plagued by a number of consecutive wet years that have affected people’s livelihoods and caused tremendous emotional stress and hardship for hardworking Manitobans. These are the people who are enduring the real costs of the flood, yet as a province, we haven’t done nearly enough in terms of implementing real solutions to this recurring issue. The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, which witnessed the devastation that flooding brought to its province, realized the ramifications of flooding on the land, and more specifically in terms of drainage and how that affects people and property downstream. As public demand for accountability in the drainage decision-making process continues to grow, SARM recently approved a resolution regarding non-permitted drainage at its midterm convention last fall. The resolution reads: “Enforcement of drainage legislation: where-

Governments must take action on unrestricted drainage and raise awareness of the effects of draining wetlands. | FILE PHOTO as municipalities and landowners are experiencing danger to infrastructure and property from nonpermitted drainage activities, which creates financial hardship for both municipalities and landowners; Be it resolved that SARM lobby the provincial government to enforce provincial land drainage legislation.” Saskatchewan leaders have taken up the cause of encouraging the enforcement of existing drainage

legislation to reduce the financial and physical effects of having more water than they can handle. Manitoba and Saskatchewan both faced unprecedented levels of flooding in 2011, and in both provinces, wetlands continue to be lost at alarming rates. The science is clear: wetland drainage makes flooding worse. Enforcing drainage regulations will not be easy or, in some cases, popular, but it is essential if we are to better

manage our surface water resources in the face of increasingly variable climate extremes. These Saskatchewan municipal leaders get it. They realize that what they are doing to the land not only affects their own province but also their neighbours to the east. They realize that what they are sending downstream, not just water but also sediment and nutrients, is causing water quality problems in many of our rivers and lakes. But most importantly, they are doing something about it. In the past, Manitoba municipalities put forward similar resolutions that resulted in increased awareness of the effects of unrestricted drainage to the government, but it’s time this issue gets back on the provincial agenda. We need to move forward in a more proactive way to raise the awareness of wetland loss and how this loss adds to our flooding woes, and put a stop to it once and for all. An independent flood review is being debated in political circles and the media. If this review does happen, it absolutely must include an evaluation of the effects of wetland drainage and degradation, and provide recommendations to protect and restore their flood-fighting capabilities. Politics aside, whether we do a review or not, we need to stop draining wetlands or our next flood will be worse.

CROP DISEASE | PREVENTION TOOL

Use crop insurance ineligibility to address disease HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

eeding canola on canola stubble is a poor management practice. So is planting lentils on lentil stubble. There’s a simple policy adjustment by which these dangerous crop rotations could be discouraged. Don’t offer crop insurance coverage if producers are seeding canola on canola or lentils on lentils. Right now, there seems to be the greatest imperative with canola. Researchers and specialists are worried about the spread of clubroot. It is a serious problem in parts of Alberta, has been detected in Saskatchewan and could quickly spread unless there’s preventive action. Crop rotation won’t prevent the spread of clubroot to clean fields, but

it will restrict disease development within fields and perhaps limit the overall severity. Blackleg is another disease where the action plan should include crop rotation. Otherwise the blackleg resistance bred into canola varieties is more likely to break down. Within lentils, researchers have long worried about the buildup of diseases such as ascochyta and anthracnose. A great deal of producer money has been spent on the development of varieties with natural disease resistance. Ill-advised rotations put that variety investment in jeopardy. Research shows that canola and lentils typically have lower yields when grown back to back, but producers do it for economic reasons. When a crop is profitable, you want to plant more acres of it. Short canola rotations are more typical in the black soil zone, while lentils are an important cropping option for the brown and dark brown soil zones, which are drier. Lentil acreage is likely to drop this year. Since it’s no longer a shining star on the profitability chart, there’s

little reason to push the rotation. However, many analysts are predicting the highest acreage of canola ever, meaning there will be increased pressure to breach rotational guidelines. Why should crop insurance be offered on crops in cases where producers are putting themselves and their neighbours at an increased disease risk? The cost of crop insurance is heavily subsidized by the two levels of government, so it’s reasonable for the program to be used as a policy tool. Even for those who don’t subscribe to crop insurance, denying coverage would be a clear signal that dangerous agronomic practices are frowned upon. This approach was taken with chickpeas in Saskatchewan more than a decade ago when acreage was rapidly expanding. Crop insurance coverage was denied if you didn’t follow a proper rotation. Ascochyta is extremely aggressive in chickpeas, and many fields were complete writeoffs because of the disease. If memory serves, you could only grow chickpeas on the same land once in every three years if you

wanted crop insurance coverage. The policy isn’t so strict anymore because chickpea acreage has dropped, more and better fungicides are available and newer varieties have improved disease resistance. However, the experience with chickpeas proves that the rule is easy to implement. Crop insurance records show what crops are seeded on each quarter section each year. It’s relatively easy for program administrators to monitor crop rotations. Battling a clubroot problem is going to be expensive. As with most situations, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Changing crop insurance policy wouldn’t cost governments anything and yet could be one of the best preventive tools. Some producers would be upset, particularly the ones who are pushing their rotations. Governments don’t like to take flak, but that shouldn’t prevent them from doing what’s right.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

here are right ways and wrong ways to do certain important things. For example, if you are going to break up with someone, it’s generally accepted that doing so face to face is significantly more respectful than, say, e-mailing. It’s also better than breaking bad news during a speech delivered on the other side of the world. Yet that was prime minister Stephen Harper’s venue —specifically, Davos, Switzerland — for telling Canadians that he is planning changes to unfunded pension support. Namely, he is intending to cut the Old Age Security program and hinting at raising the eligibility age. It’s slightly more than $500 per month but still makes a difference to many seniors, and not just those living near the poverty line, either. His point that the number of Canadians who will be applying for OAS in the next 20 years will soar is welltaken, certainly. Canadians older than 65 will number 9.3 million 20 years from now, a huge jump from 4.7 million today. Selling this to older Canadians, however, may not be as politically easy as he thinks. Those of us who are not too far away from needing OAS may remember that the former Conser vative government of Brian Mulroney tried the same thing. During the recession of the early 1980s, Mulroney proposed cutting back OAS and family allowances. His timing, of course, coming during a recession, was spectacularly bad. The policy was vigorously slammed by labour, anti-poverty and seniors groups, and caused enough backlash to force Mulroney to back down. That attempt got more publicity, but a Liberal government tried it, too. Whether Canada is heading for a double dip recession remains to be seen, and Harper is presently more popular than was Mulroney. Still, the impression that this government is planning to balance future books on the backs of seniors may not go over well. In addition, there’s that thing about delivering policy decisions from afar. I don’t know if there’s a good way to tell aging Canadians that some of their expected retirement funds will be unavailable, but outlining the policy in someone else’s country is not the best approach. Call me crazy, but how about putting it in an election campaign, or even a throne speech? This approach is tantamount to breaking up with someone by e-mail. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

CHAIR NOT A FARMER

OPEN FORUM Viterra alone to earn an extra $40 to $50 million a year without the CWB. That’s coming from farmers. Some are now calling Gerry’s botch up another grain company. However, it has no elevators, no agents, no delivery points, few field staff, no terminal elevators and a mandated life expectancy of five years or less. This doesn’t sound like a winning recipe. It sounds like buying shares in an ostrich farm. Leo Howse, Porcupine Plain, Sask.

To the Editor: If someone had told me the Canadian Wheat Board would have a chairman who was not a farmer, I would have said they were crazy. How could an organization which represents farmers have anyone other than a farmer as its chairman? But Gerry’s grain company is nothing like the former CWB. It has no farmer-elected directors; federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz appointed them all. Its chairman is a former grain company executive from a failed grain company. Instead of making money for farmers, Gerry’s grain company will be taking money from farmers. It is no longer the farmers’ voice in negotiating freight rates, ocean shipping, blending or even grain handling fees. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce reports that it expects access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

to not ask farmers in a plebiscite about the future of the CWB also is therefore a false argument. The right to sell my property, i.e. my own wheat, to whomever I like should not be a collective decision. It is like saying if the majority of people vote against “freedom of the press,” it would make it OK to get rid of that right. Every democracy is based on the guarantee of certain rights, which are non-negotiable. One of these rights has been taken from farmers for some purpose a long time ago, and the government is simply returning it to them. It’s the least it can do.

RIGHTS GUARANTEES To the Editor: To all people who question the legitimacy of the parliament to strip the Canadian Wheat Board of its buying monopoly, I only ask this: who is the legitimate owner of the wheat I and each individual farmer grows on his or her own land with his or her own money? If you agree with the obvious answer that the wheat I grow, on my own land with my own money, is my property, then the answer to the question of legitimacy becomes not only painfully obvious, but it begs the question on what basis is it legitimate for the CWB to have a buying monopoly in the first place. The favourite argument of the proCWB crowd that it is anti-democratic

NEED FLOODING ANSWERS To the Editor: For thousands of Manitobans, 2011 will be remembered as the year of the flood. Unfortunately, hundreds of flood victims from around Lake Manitoba still can’t return to their homes. Complete flood clean-up and restoration could take years in some regions. Flood-related costs are expected to hit $815 million by the end of the current fiscal year, and will continue to rise. Many flood victims are growing increasingly frustrated trying to navigate the compensation system. Still

others need to know when added flood mitigation strategies will be implemented…. People deserve answers. Months ago, Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives called for an independent inquiry into the handling and impact of the flood. Given that the flood’s size, scale, cost and severity were so great, it seems negligent not to call such an inquiry. It is needed to examine both provincial actions and resources, and to ensure compensation programs are being delivered in a fair and timely fashion. Yet the NDP government refuses to call an independent inquiry. A comprehensive look at matters such as preparedness, monitoring, communications, operation of flood control works and long-term mitigation strategies can only be good for Manitobans. We need answers on issues such as why the gates on the Shellmouth Dam promised by the NDP weren’t built. We need answers about why the Assiniboine River dikes weren’t rehabilitated well in advance of the 2011 flood. We need answers about questions related to the forecasting. We recognize many things were done right during the flood, but there is always room for improvement. While the events are still fresh in people’s minds, we need a transparent process to evaluate the actions taken and to look at alternatives. A review was done after the 1997 Red River flood and it led to some good

long-term recommendations. …As public policy makers, we have an obligation to try to minimize the effects of future floods. A public inquiry is needed now. It’s high time for the NDP government to be more open and accountable when it comes to its handling of this devastating event. Ian Wishart, MLA for Portage la Prairie, Man., and PC water stewardship critic Winnipeg, Man.

NO FREEDOM? To the Editor: Federal agriculture minister (Gerry) Ritz’s idea of democracy regarding grain marketing freedom for western Canadian farmers is, from start to finish, delusional and farcical. Farmers were never properly consulted; there were no public meetings. Ritz maintains the ludicrous idea that sending out publicly funded mailings to farmers is consultation. There was also no cost benefit analysis of this policy change. Where is this comprehensive plan, minister Ritz, and if it exists, can everyone see the benefits? If Bill C-18 really has such widespread support as Ritz continues to claim, then there should be absolutely no issue with holding a vote. But this continues to be ignored, no

OPINION doubt because Ritz and his shadow farm groups have something to fear. With no analysis and farmer vote, how can anyone confidently conclude that this monumental change will provide an advantage to farmers?nYet this underlies Ritz’s campaign and stance. He has spread untruths throughout this debate and ultimately, he and his fellow Conservatives have taken away the democratic right from farmers. Not allowing farmers to vote on their marketing agency is un-Canadian. Canadians, and not just farmers, should be seriously asking themselves where this will stop and what’s next? Kyle Korneychuk, Pelly, Sask.

SHOWING CONTEMPT To the Editor: I am very disappointed with the attitude of Bob Bjornerud, agriculture minister of Saskatchewan, in siding with Gerry Ritz, federal agriculture minister, on the Canadian Wheat Board issue. By encouraging Ritz to proceed with the legislation and not respecting the court’s decision that producers should be allowed a vote on the mandate of the CWB shows contempt for farmers. Farmers want a vote on the CWB’s future, and Ritz is refusing. Bjornerud should know cattle farmers have an open market system to sell their cattle. Yet we are losing

cattle farmers off the land, which are losing money in their operations. No value-added slaughter plants are left in Saskatchewan. Cattle have to be shipped to other provinces. The United States has had the open market grain system from the start yet they have to depend on U.S. taxpayers to subsidize to keep their farmers financially afloat. Will governments be willing to subsidize farmers here if the open market fails, as it happens in the U.S.? Do you think those multinational

grain companies that drifted from the U.S. into Canada will look after farmers first or multinationals? As farmers, we have marketed/ priced our grain through the CWB and the open market. There is no law against me selling grain to anyone … all except export CWB grain, which will not even happen when we lose the CWB. Export grain then will have to go through the multinational companies. As farmers, we have other greater issues in agriculture: freight rates,

poor roads, service issues with the railways, but Bjornerud doesn’t seem to have time for those issues. Yet he appears to make negative comments on an institution in which farmers, not politicians, elect the directors to run the CWB on their behalf. I’m sure someday Bjornerud will be rewarded for his work against the majority of farmers’ wishes and will become our next senator. Eric Sagan, Melville, Sask.

What a stir this cultural opportunity caused, both among the family and the tiny congregation. When we arrived, the young father was most generous in extending the family’s hospitality and proudly

CATTLE | OUTLOOK

Ranchers told to saddle up for good times Feeder cattle in demand | “If you’re in cow-calf, this is what you live for,” says economist BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The future of the Canadian cattle feeding industry is bright, but it is brightest of all for cow-calf producers, says a U.S. economist. Bruce Ginn, a partner in BMI Ag Services in Kansas, recently told cattle feeders that they face short-term challenges but a positive future because of low cattle numbers driving demand. Low supplies are raising the cost of replacement animals, and risk management will be vital. “I think the long-term future for the industry is positive, but that’s with the caveat that you’ve got to get over these challenges,” he said. Ranchers, on the other hand, are looking at two or three years of high times. “The most profitable segment of the industry, given the supply-

demand situation, is absolutely the rancher, and that’s not going to change for a couple years,” Ginn said in a later interview. “If you’re in cow-calf, this is what you live for.” Cattle numbers in the United States are at their lowest point in 40 years, he said. Canadian numbers are also low. With feeders looking to fill their yards, demand for cattle will be fierce in both countries. “The United States is going to represent that giant sucking sound for feeder cattle demand, just because prices are going to be high and there’s going to be a lot of operations in the States that are going to be willing to pay a lot of money for feeder cattle from this country,” said Ginn. Drought in the southern U.S. has depleted the herd. It has been particularly severe in Texas, which has 12 percent of the country’s cattle.

Ginn expects as many as one million fewer cattle in the next inventory report. Beef demand is firm, but the real growth last year was in exports. Domestic demand exceeded production, but imports from Canada and Mexico backfilled supply. U.S. beef exports returned to 2003 levels, and Ginn projects exports of more than three billion pounds in 2012. That could rise substantially if Japan relaxes its rules to accept beef from animals younger than 30 months. Ginn said only 15 percent of available U.S. beef fits Japan’s younger than 20 months requirement, but 30 to 35 percent is younger than 30 months. “Since they need the product, guess what, they’re willing to consider changing the rule, which has no basis in science at all.” It all adds up to a positive outlook,

but feeder and packer margins will be tight until supply increases, he said. Canada’s exports of feeder and fed cattle were low this year. Resolution of the country-of-origin labelling issue could affect that, but the U.S. hasn’t yet indicated whether it plans to appeal a World Trade Organization ruling against COOL. Ginn said branded beef companies never supported COOL, and he hopes it will be rescinded. “What it’s done is increase our cost substantially,” he said. “It’s increased the complexity of our message to our consumer and basically we got no benefits from it. What should happen is they should not appeal the WTO ruling. “The government should negotiate a way to transition to a less onerous, less impactful deal on the food chain. That would be the best case for the industry.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Nitrogen Miser Get the N out of the tanks By Shawn Colborn

Shawn Colborn

AGROTAIN® N stabilizer is important to help you get the most out of your nitrogen. But it’s also important to get the most acres planted in a day. As you might realize, ﬁlling up your tank with fertilizer and dragging it around the ﬁeld slows down seeding. That’s exactly why you should consider getting most of your nitrogen out of the tank. Sure, a starter fertilizer with nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus is a worthwhile investment. But consider the time and effort you would save if you didn’t apply all of your nitrogen at seeding. AGROTAIN® nitrogen stabilizer makes it possible to take N out of the tank and broadcast on the surface and protect it from loss. 1. use a pre-seed nitrogen application spread ahead of planting, and 2. top-dress after planting.

Pre-seeding As Eric Oliver, an SSCA with Swift Current in Saskatchewan says, “With the higher cost of nitrogen per pound it makes sense to use AGROTAIN® stabilizer, making sure that you get the nutrients you pay for to the crop. We use AGROTAIN® stabilizer as a way to spread out our work load by applying either UAN or dry urea ahead of the grower, and by making sure he’s not losing any precious nitrogen before he can get it incorporated.” Top-dressing With Canada’s short growing season, a top-dress application of nitrogen after crop emergence has many of its own beneﬁts too. For example, if growing conditions improve after seeding and if your crop is showing signs of nitrogen deﬁciency.

Either way, you still get the critical nutrition the crop needs — when the plants need it. And, it also allows you to speed up seeding by not having to stop and reﬁll as frequently. And that helps you get the most return out of your investment.

before the committee lingering questions about life after the CWB monopoly and the effect on food safety of projected job cuts at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, but the Conservative majority will have the numbers to block those suggestions. However, agricultural issues are definitely embedded in what will be the centrepiece of the government’s parliamentary agenda for the year — presentation of the deficit-cutting 2012 budget in March. All departments have been ordered to draw up plans that would see expenditures cut five to 10 percent. That has opposition agriculture critics worried and industry leaders nervous. “I have a lot of fears about the impact this budget will have on the agriculture budget and programming,” New Democrat agriculture critic Malcolm Allen said. “I fear costs will be downloaded from government to industry and farmers. I fear that cuts at the CFIA will undermine food safety.” He said finance minister Jim Flaherty’s budget will be a reflection of agriculture minister Gerry Ritz’s clout at the cabinet table. “It is my view that he is a weak minister and I guess a test will be how well he can defend what must be defended.” Liberal critic Frank Valeriote said his biggest worry is that research

spending will be cut. Canadian governments are already lagging other developed nations in the amount of public money invested in research, innovation and commercialization. “We are significantly under-spending and my concern is that less will be invested in research and more will be reliant on private sector investment, which is by nature short term.” Agriculture committee chair Larry Miller said cuts are coming but from his involvement in a caucus committee looking at potential savings, he expects cuts of low-priority programs and not core functions. “I don’t see anything detrimental to agriculture, but with a department that size, there surely is fat to be trimmed,” said the Conservative MP. Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett said farm leaders complained the sector had been disproportionately hurt when a Liberal government tabled the last major deficit-cutting budget in 1995. “I’m hopeful that while agriculture will receive some cuts, it won’t be disproportionate this time,” he said. “Compared to 1995, I think there is a better understanding of the important role agriculture plays in the economy and in health policy.” Bob Seguin, executive director of the George Morris Centre in Guelph, Ont., lived through the federal and provincial budget cuts of the mid1990s as a senior Ontario provincial bureaucrat and has no doubt the savings can be found without cutting too deeply into necessary programs. He said it will be a matter of choices for the Conservatives. “It is doable,” he said. “It would be surprising to see major programs gutted, but do the Conservatives use this to have a serious conversation about what services don’t have to be delivered or what programs or staff positions are not necessary because of information technology or other advances?”

China bans India meal imports Chemical in soybean, canola meal | Door opens to Canadian exports BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

EYE SPY |

A great horned owl watches for prey as a full moon rises behind it. | MIKE STURK PHOTO

China has banned imports of oilseed meal from India, creating a soybean and canola meal export opportunity in one of the world’s largest meal markets. The ban, which was implemented Jan. 1, is due to the detection of malachite green in rapeseed meal shipments from India. Malachite green is a hazardous chemical used in dyes. China warned India about the issue last June. The warning prompted India’s agriculture and commerce ministries to conduct a study in conjunction with the Solvent Extractors Association of India. The study concluded the contamination stemmed from the use of a green dye to mark jute bags containing the rapeseed meal.

India exported 344,140 tonnes of oilseed meal to China between April and December 2011, 79 percent of which was rapeseed meal. Removing India from the list of eligible exporters leaves a big void for a country that imported 2.87 million tonnes of oilseed meal in 2009-10, half of which was rapeseed meal. “Canola will certainly get a piece of that, but we’d likely see soybeans get a big piece of that as well,” said Cory McArthur, vice-president of market development with the Canola Council of Canada. Canola meal is priced higher than rapeseed meal, which makes McArthur wonder if there will be much substitution. “I don’t know how significant it necessarily will be,” he said. “Time will tell.” McArthur hasn’t yet seen a bump

in canola meal exports to China because of the ban, but the council has been doing a lot of market development work in that country. Feeding trials conducted in conjunction with China’s five largest dairy firms, which account for 75 percent of the country’s dairy production, helped convince Chinese nutritionists there are no feed intake issues with canola meal. They were skeptical because cows tend to reject bitter-tasting rapeseed meal. One company realized feed cost savings of $1 million by incorporating the ingredient in feed rations, and two companies witnessed a 0.5 to one kilogram per cow per day increase in milk production. “Our momentum certainly from a meal standpoint is strong already, so this (Indian ban) can only enhance that,” said McArthur. access=subscriber section=news,international_ag,none

HOGS | OUTLOOK

New pork council chair eager to press for survival tools ership after his wife and son agreed to pick up more of the workload on the family farm.

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The recently elected chair of the Canadian Pork Council says that after years of industry losses, there are reasons for hope, optimism and new young entrants. Jean-Guy Vincent’s 35-year-old son, David, is a symbol of that hope. He is part of his family hog operation near Drummondville, Que., east of Montreal and sees a future in the business. “I think young people considering the industry should be optimistic,” Vincent said. “My son has lived through the problems of the past few years and he still thinks the future is good.” Vincent said there are reasons to hope that the devastation of the past four years is behind the industry. Producers were rocked by years of losses caused by high feed costs, herd health issues, ill-placed consumer fears about swine flu being connected to pork, a strong Canadian dollar that reduced the value of exports and a government assistance program that offered little support because reference margins had been wiped out. The industry lost thousands of producers and significant production, in part through a government buy-out program. “They were very rough years and I hope it is over, but I understand the hog industry is always a challenge,” Vincent said. “Agriculture in Canada is a challenge. We have a higher cost of production because of weather and with a small inside (domestic) market, we depend on exports.” Those challenges are why Vincent, former head of the Quebec hog producers’ marketing board, said he wants the priority of his time as CPC chair to be lobbying for the tools the industry needs to survive. Even with the prospect of lower feed costs because of falling grain prices, the notoriously cyclical

JEAN-GUY VINCENT CANADIAN PORK COUNCIL

industry needs help “to get over the downs.” The tools include industry and government investment, closer cooperation with processors and retailers, emphasis on expanding export markets and improvements in farm business risk management programs such as AgriStability. It also includes a pork council demand that governments renew funding for the Canadian Swine Health Board, which has worked on biosecurity issues, disease risk management strategies and research into emerging hog diseases. The four-year, $37.3 million government funding commitment to the health board expires March 31, 2013, when the current Growing Forward programs expire. The hog industry wants a renewal of that funding to be part of federal-provincial negotiations over details of the next five-year set of programs. “It is one of the tools we need. It helps producers to achieve biosecurity on the farm and that is a very important part of our future. We need that organization to keep going,” he said. Vincent has been in the Quebec farm sector for 41 years after he joined his father on his dairy and hog operation in Sainte-Séraphine, Que. Since 1985, it has been primarily a hog operation with a 40-sow operation on one farm and a second farm that finishes 1,800 hogs. The Vincents market 25,000 hogs annually. They also plant 2,000 acres in soybeans and corn, mainly to make feed for the pigs. He said he decided to accept the time-demanding pork council leadaccess=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

“There is a reason I didn’t do this until I was 62,” he said. “I guess I am semi-retired on the farm.”

His years as head of the Quebec hog board also prepared the family for the demands of the national role.

legally haul cattle for each other can be answered. “I don’t think it’s over,” said Homans a few days after his ticket was quashed in provincial court because of an error in the date. “I hope it’s not over. I’d like to see some kind of a change in the regulations where you can help a neighbour.” Homans’ story began in October, when he used his stock trailer to help another rancher haul 13 steers to the auction market in Fort Macleod, Alta. He was stopped by an Alberta transportation officer and ticketed for “operating a commercial vehicle in a prohibited manner” and “unauthorized operation of a public vehicle (with) farm plates for commercial purposes.” At issue was the fact that he didn’t own the cattle in his trailer. However, he was following the owner of the cattle, who was driving his own truck and trailer with additional steers. The matter raised widespread concern that ranchers could no longer freely haul cattle for each other. It is common practice for them to haul small numbers of each other’s cattle for short trips if one of them doesn’t have enough trailer capacity or if timing is an issue. It’s an exchange of favours and no money is involved. Until Homans’ experience, no one realized there was any legal problem. In fact, the law does not address the legality of hauling other people’s cattle anywhere other than grazing leases. Homans said he received phone calls from all over Western Canada after his ticket was reported in the media. “There were all kinds of people from all over Alberta. I’ve heard feedback from as far away as Manitoba,” he said. Many encouraged him to fight the ticket and offered help with court costs. “We had a fellow drive in here, right up to the door, with his chequebook. I told him it wasn’t necessary.” One of the earliest phone calls came from Patrick Lannan, a lawyer from Claresholm, Alta., who took his case pro bono and represented Homans in court Jan. 18. Though the ticket was quashed, the charge can be re-issued if officials decide to do so. Lannan didn’t speculate on whether that would happen. “The issue has never been decided, at least by a court. My interpretation is, and I looked at various legislation, and I could not find out how he could be classed as a commercial vehicle as he wasn’t doing it for remuneration,” Lannan said. “Fortunately for Bill, it’s gone away but there’s still this dark cloud hanging over every rancher who participates and helps his neighbour.” After hearing about Homans’ case, members of Alberta Beef Producers passed a resolution directing the board to investigate and report on regulations regarding “goodwill” trucking of livestock. The resolution is scheduled to be dealt with at the Feb. 15 board meeting, according to an ABP spokesperson. As well, Homans discussed the issue with his MLA, Evan Berger, who is the provincial agriculture minister.

UNIVERSITY OF LETHBRIDGE | BOTANY

Online database brings herbarium into homes 21,000 plant specimens | Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection helps visitors identify plants and accepts specimens of regional flora BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one named Herb in the University of Lethbridge herbarium. But there is something named Zygophyllaceae larrea tridentata and something else named Pinaceae pseudotsuga menziesii. And so much more. The general public will soon be able to see the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire dried plant collection without leaving their home computer. Photos of 21,000 plant specimens are being digitized and will be available online, complete with scientific name, location, collection time, phenology and habitat. Though larger herbaria in Calgary and Edmonton are also planning to digitize, U of L herbarium curator John Bain said the Lethbridge collection will be the first one finished. It will then connect with other herbaria as part of an international resource. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For anybody that wants to identify a plant, the herbarium becomes a critical tool,â&#x20AC;? said Bain. Books and field guides might suffice for the layman, but access to the actual plant is important for professional botanists, consultants and people doing vegetation surveys, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The digitizing of the herbarium

represents recognition that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important resource and should be more accessible to people so they can make more of it.â&#x20AC;? Digitization will give the public a quick method of access, but the actual plant specimens, called vouchers, will still be available to the public, as always, by appointment. U of L instructor Joanne Golden, a botanist, is one of the people who can guide visitors in herbarium use. The dried samples are labelled and stored on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very fragile, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you how to handle a stack of herbarium specimens, and yes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re welcome to access them,â&#x20AC;? she said as she deftly removed poplar vouchers from a grey metal filing cabinet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to access the collection. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point in having a collection without it being a working collection,â&#x20AC;? she added. The technical definition of a herbarium is simply a collection of dried plants systematically arranged. The U of L collection was initiated by former curator Job Kuijt, said Bain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He understood that having a reference collection of the local flora, for teaching and for any kind of local research, was critical,â&#x20AC;? Bain said. Kuijt asked other herbaria for duplicates within their collection, and he responded in kind with his

The University of Lethbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s herbarium is a resource for plant identification and comparison.

You collect a lot locally and you end up with a lot of the same thing,â&#x20AC;? Bain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It becomes kind of like trading stamps or baseball cards. You say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you 10 of these if you give me something that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have.â&#x20AC;? Kuijtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waterton collection is significant because of the diversity within park boundaries. Bain said

the region has great botanical interest within North America and the highest level of biodiversity in the province. The park was designated as a World Biosphere Reserve in 1979 and a World Heritage Site in 1995, largely because of that biodiversity. Golden said the herbarium continues to grow as botanists, students and those interested in regional flora provide specimens. Samples are also occasionally bequeathed to the uni-

versity. The U of L collection mostly comprises Alberta flora, but it also has vouchers from the federal agriculture department collection and some from Manitoba and other locales. Anyone can collect specimens acceptable to the herbarium, Golden added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does not have to be collected by a botanist. If you want to collect plants, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you how to collect them, how to press them for the maximum amount of information and we can offer you space to come and identify them.â&#x20AC;? Collectors should make notes on where and when the plant was found, the type of soil and habitat and any other information thought relevant to its identification and location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you press it, you try to press it so you can see the front of the leaf and the back of the leaf,â&#x20AC;? Golden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Press your sample with as much information as the researcher would need in order to identify a particular plant.â&#x20AC;? Golden said the university receives occasional requests to identify particular plants. The digital database may help people in these efforts, and often university botanists can identify plants from photos. She enjoys the interest people show in Alberta flora. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

pay for research that could result in higher yielding crops, better disease resistance and crops with enhanced nutritional and end-use qualities. Funding for ADF-supported programs comes from the Saskatchewan and federal governments. The two levels of government make a joint funding announcement each year, usually in early January. This year’s $8.3 million will provide support to 34 crop-related projects and will be split between research in oilseeds ($4.1 million), cereal crops ($2.3 million), pulse crops ($1.2 million), fruit and vegetables ($527,000) and other crops ($38,000). University of Saskatchewan researchers were by far the biggest beneficiaries. U of S researchers, including those at the university’s Crop Development Centre, received nearly $5.7 million. The remaining $2.6 million will be shared between researchers at the National Research Council ($710,000), Agriculture Canada ($594,000), Agrisoma Biosciences ($490,000), Linnaeus Plant Sciences ($435,000), Quantum Biosciences ($200,000) and the University of Regina ($173,000). ADF funding represents one of the major funding sources available to Saskatchewan crop researchers. Additional funding is also available through other government programs, producer check-off programs and private sector partnerships. One of the biggest individual winners in this year’s ADF announcement was U of S plant researcher Martin Reaney, whose project qualified for $732,000 in funding. Reaney’s project, entitled Processing of High Glucosinolate Cruciferous Plants, is aimed at developing a process to produce biopesticide concentrates from cruciferous plants grown in Saskatchewan. Other oilseed-related projects approved for ADF funding include: • an Agriculture Canada project aimed at identifying virulence factors that contribute to blackleg in canola • an Agrisoma project aimed at introducing new traits into carinata and developing a new industrial oilseed with improved oil characteristics that are suited to the biofuel industry • a CDC project that could lead to the development of early-maturing or northern-adapted flax varieties • an NRC project that examines clubroot resistance genes and associated markers in canola. The project could pave the way for the development of new clubroot resistant canola varieties using marker-assisted breeding SaskCanola chair Brett Halstead said government funding delivered through the ADF not only supports research but also contributes to the profitability of individual farmers. “Research is critical to the success of canola producers and we support these projects, which will help improve farmers’ profits,” he said.

SCHOLARSHIP | INDUSTRY ENHANCEMENT

2012 Nuffield winners named The scholarship is to help individuals carry out innovation and ideas in their industry BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Two Albertans have been selected as the 2012 recipients of the Canadian Nuffield Farming Scholarship. Brenda Schoepp of Rimbey and Ryan Bonnett of Airdrie will join Crosby Devitt of Guelph, Ont., as this year’s scholars. The Nuffield program provides $15,000 to each scholar. Schoepp is a marketing adviser and publisher of Beeflink, a weekly newsletter on beef and cattle marketing. She also coaches corporate execu-

tives in production agriculture, research and agribusiness. Schoepp and her husband own and operate a ranch near Rimbey. She plans to study the needs and successes of women in agribusiness so that she can build a Canadian mentorship model, according to a Nuffield news release. Bonnett is a marketing adviser for Farmlink Marketing Solutions, which specializes in crop marketing and sales consultation. He is originally from a grain farm near Gravelbourg, Sask. Bonnett plans to explore grain mar-

keting and production risk management around the world and use the information to develop new practices for growers in Western Canada. Devitt works for Grain Farmers of Ontario and plans to investigate grain research partnerships. Scholarships are awarded to people “who are judged to have the greatest potential to create value for themselves, their industries and their communities through the doors which will be opened and the opportunities provided,” said the news release.

ETHANOL | CONSTRUCTION

Construction begins on ethanol plant BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Construction has begun on an ethanol plant beside the Growing Power Hairy Hill biorefinery in northeastern Alberta. In August, the facility plans to start buying 110,000 tonnes of wheat and triticale from local farmers for ethanol production. The 40 million litre ethanol plant will produce wet distillers grain for the adjacent 36,000 head Highland Feeders feedlot and ethanol for the Alberta market. The facility will specialize in producing ultra low-carbon fuel ethanol that exceeds the most stringent carbon standards in the world, said chief executive officer Shane Chrapko. “It’s the lowest carbon fuel on the planet.” Manure from the feedlot will feed the biodigester to produce manure fertilizer, electricity and natural gas, which will both run the facility and be sold onto the electricity grid. “We’re not using any fossil fuels in the production of electricity and renewable natural gas,” said Chrapko. Co-owner Bern Kotelko said the ethanol would be sold to local blenders in Edmonton. Because of its low carbon footprint, the ethanol could potentially be sold to jurisdictions that have stringent low carbon fuel requirements, such as California. Growing Power Hairy Hill’s $110 million biorefinery started generating electricity from manure in 2005. The plant processes cattle manure, landfill waste and slaughterhouse byproducts into electricity. About 25 tonnes of waste from the Olymel hog slaughter plant is trucked to the biodigester each day. Solid waste from Edmonton is also used. “It’s a wonderful, wonderful story in the making of energy from waste and using it in another renewable process,” said Chrapko. Construction of the ethanol plant was scheduled to begin a year ago, but was delayed because of the global economic downturn. “It took persistence in putting the final package together when everyone was pulling in their horns.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ROTATIONS | FLEXIBILITY

Flexible rotations can benefit growers Go with the flow | Varying crops can take advantage of nutrients and moisture and avoid disease and insects BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

MINOT, N.D. — Don Tanaka could never understand why most northern Plains producers locked themselves into a fixed rotation of two or three crops. “Cropping systems that are not flexible to change will be unsustainable,” the recently retired U.S. Department of Agriculture researcher wrote in Agronomy Journal in 2007. He said this was particularly problematic because farming on the Prairies is already a risky enterprise and may become more so in the future. Instead of seeding canola-wheatcanola or another fixed rotation for the next 20 years, Tanaka argued that producers should consider a dynamic cropping rotation in which they vary their crops from year to year. That way, producers can take advantage of variable factors such as weather, soil resources, market opportunities and nutrient cycling. Mark Liebig, a USDA researcher who worked with Tanaka in Mandan, North Dakota, said this type of adaptive approach to rotation might be more challenging than a fixed rotation, but it avoids the longaccess=subscriber section=production,none,none

Farmers can benefit by keeping flexible crop rotations and changing them from year to year, according to an American researcher. | term risks associated with a simplistic rotation, such as buildup of crop disease, insects and the inevitable headache of pesticide resistance. “It (dynamic rotation) is knowledge intensive. It really is,” Liebig told the Manitoba North Dakota Zero Tillage Farmers Association workshop in Minot in January. “You almost need crop rotation support.” Nonetheless, Tanaka’s research in North Dakota has shown there are benefits to adjusting a rotation on the fly, depending on:

• how much precipitation fell during the non-growing season • what crop was planted the previous year • how that crop might affect soil moisture • what herbicides will work with a potential crop, considering the previous crop • the impact of the previous crop on soil biology • market and pricing opportunities Tanaka and his USDA colleagues conducted field experiments in the

2000s to understand the value of dynamic cropping systems. They developed a 10 by 10 plot matrix of 10 no-till crops, which allowed them to collect data on 100 plots to evaluate the influence of crop sequence on crop production. Crops included buckwheat, canola, chickpea, corn, lentil, millet, sunflower and wheat. The researchers found that dynamic cropping systems led to higher yields with less yield variability from year to year.

FILE PHOTO

“Grain yield (for spring wheat) in a dynamic system was 20 and 17 percent higher, respectively, compared to three and five year rotations containing spring wheat,” Liebig wrote in a summary of the research. However, he isn’t sure how many North Dakota growers have adopted the practice. “We get asked that question all the time … (but) we don’t have a crop rotation survey,” he said. “But there’s definitely intrigue. There’s definitely interest. People are paying attention.”

RESEARCH | CROP ROTATION

Cool-warm season crops fare best in longer rotations Avoid annual rotations | A longer time period between rotations discourages weeds BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

MINOT, N.D. — An American researcher has a message for Canadian no-till famers who grow a two-crop rotation of canola and wheat: such a practice is short-sighted and stupid. Dwayne Beck, manager of the Dakota Lakes research farm in Pierre, South Dakota, told the Manitoba North Dakota Zero Tillage Farmers Association annual workshop in Minot in early January that no-till agriculture is only one component of sustainable farming. He said no-till farmers need to incorporate a smart and responsible rotation into their production system. Otherwise, there will be consequences. “No till is a tool. OK, I’m no-tilling.

But I’m no-tilling corn on corn. Or no-tilling wheat on wheat … but that’s not what Mother Nature did out there,” said Beck, who is also a plant sciences professor at South Dakota State University. “Eventually, if you do that, something is going to come along and beat you on top of the head…. You’re going to have diseases (and insects and weeds).” Randy Anderson, a U.S. Department of Agriculture research agronomist in Brookings, S.D., who has conducted research on rotations of cool and warm season crops in a notill system, said this type of rotation restricts weed seed survival and interrupts the growing cycle of cool season and warm season weeds. However, he has also determined that a rotation of two cool season crops, such as winter wheat, spring

wheat or dry pea, followed by two warm season crops, such as corn, sunflowers, chickpeas or soybeans, is much more effective at weed control than a rotation of one cool season crop and one warm season crop. Anderson said long-term rotational studies conducted in South Dakota looked at weed populations in rotations with one cool season crop followed by a warm season crop, such as winter wheat and then millet. He then compared that to weed populations in rotations with two cool season crops followed by two warm season crops. “At all locations, the rotations that had the most weeds were the one cool season and one warm season (rotation),” he said. He said the one cool season/one warm season rotation had more than

150 weeds per sq. metre, while the two cool season/two warm season rotation had 25 weeds per sq. metre. “There is a six-fold difference here, a dramatic difference in the number of weeds that a producer would have to face.” Beck said the difference is connected to weed seed survival. “There’s inherit dormancy in the seed. By taking them out two years, (it kills off the seed population).” For example, Anderson has found that 20 percent of downy brome and green foxtail seeds are alive one year after seed shed. However, less than five percent of their seeds remain alive after two years. “If you can prevent replenishment of the (weed) seed bank for a couple of years, the number of live seeds declines very rapidly,” he said.

Randy Anderson says longer rotations between cold and warm season crops improves weed control. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO Anderson also included two other scenarios in his study: one cool season crop followed by two warm access=subscriber section=crops,none,none section=production,none,none

EQUIPMENT | GRAIN DRYER

Brit dryer reduces fire risk, energy use Airflow is key | Grain rides on bed of air to allow maximum circulation BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — A new continuous flow horizontal dryer designed for low temperature with high airflow reduces energy costs and fire risks. The Double Flow, built by the Alvan Blanch company in England, can take canola from 25 percent moisture down to nine percent in a single pass at 85 C. Sunflowers at 20 percent moisture can be taken down to nine percent in a single pass at 70 C. Feed grains typically run at 100 C to 110 C with the same dry down data, according to Nick Gaisford, who had travelled from the United Kingdom to represent Alvan Blanch at Manitoba Ag Days held in Brandon Jan. 17-19.

“The grain travels on two stationary louvered beds set on an incline,” said Gaisford. “Grain is loaded on the top bed at the front of the dryer. It runs down the incline to the far end, where it drops to the lower bed. The grain layer is inverted as it drops. Grain then runs down the second incline and returns to the front to be augered out. “Regardless of what you’re drying, you only need a single pass because you adjust the depth of the grain layer, the speed it travels, temperature at the burner and volume of air.” Gaisford said grain with higher moisture content runs at a lower speed, higher temperature and thinner layer than grain with less moisture. A hand crank at ground level adjusts the thickness of the layer. For

lightweight seeds like flax, the air volume can be turned down. Slots in the louvers are aimed down the slope to help gravity move the grain and prevent it from compacting. “The grain basically floats down the two inclines on a bed of air, allowing maximum air circulation and drying. It’s never compacted. Always loose,” he said. A chain and slat system, in which the chain speed can be automatically adjusted, pulls the top of the grain layer. Grain is moved by airflow and slats, so there’s no chance for hot spots to occur, said Gaisford. The inclined beds do not move and are not adjustable. Grain travels over them. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none section=production,none,none

The results showed that back to back years of warm season crops followed by a cool season crop allowed warm season weeds to flourish. “Of the 67 species (of weeds), probably 60 of them were warm season weeds,” he said. “In other words, we were selecting for warm season weeds by adding more warm season crops in the sequence.” Cool season weeds dominated the two cool season crop/one warm season crop rotation, he added. As well, because it effectively kills seeds, the two and two rotation prevents one weed from turning into 100. “If you have one (weed) in year one, you have 10 in year two and 100 in year three. It seems like it takes until that third year before the explosion occurs.” Anderson has also compared notill rotations to tillage rotations. On sites naturally infested with weeds, Anderson conducted a study where the addition of weed seeds was prevented. In the first year of the study, the number of weeds that emerged on the no-till and tilled plots were similar. However, by year three, the researchers counted 33 weed seedlings in the tilled plots and only four

on the no-till plots. “In other words, the difference is eight-fold in year number three,” said Anderson, explaining that seeds die off more rapidly in no till systems. “The (most) detrimental thing you can do for seed survival is to keep those seeds on the soil surface…. Anytime you start tilling you protect the weed seeds. It’s like putting a coat around the seeds. They survive longer.”

The obvious benefit of lower weed density is less of a need to use herbicides, but Anderson stressed that while proper rotation and no-tillage are part of the weed control story, they are not the entire story. If producers really want to become less dependent on herbicides, he said, they should also employ other tactics, such as increasing the seeding rate and adjusting fertilizer placement to ensure a vibrant crop canopy that helps suppress weeds.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Cooling is not a problem, according to Gaisford. Halfway down the lower bed, fresh outside air is pulled into the lower chamber by a 20 horsepower cold air fan. As it’s directed up through the louvers, the fresh air cools the grain. This fresh air is recovered and channelled to the burners. Heat removed at the cooling section is channelled up to the main drying compartment to reduce fuel consumption. The fresh air is regulated by opening or closing the sliding doors along the bottom edges of the dryer. All fans are located inside the dryer housing to reduce noise. “The entire dryer is an airtight unit. It sits on a concrete footing or a concrete pad with a seal. We control all air entering and exiting the housing. And we direct where the air goes

within the housing. “One of the benefits is removal of dust and chaff at the far end where grain drops to the lower bed. The exhaust airflow lifts the lighter weight dust and chaff and blows it out into a collection box. There’s no need for an expensive cyclone system.” He said removal of dust and light chaff further reduces the risk of fire. The automated control system allows unsupervised operation. Safety sensors monitor for an empty feed hopper, blocked discharge, overheating of the furnace or grain, motor overload and burner malfunction. The automated phased failsafe system ensures the correct shutdown procedure is followed. Another sensor detects if there is a change in moisture levels in the grain flow. It automatically adjusts the speed of the electric motor driving the chain and slat mechanism. Data from this motor is also used in calcu-

lating the volume of grain dried over any specific time period. Two automatic pressure jet burners in the combustion chamber work together so the drying temperature is always correct throughout the full range, without changing nozzles. Gaisford said the Double Flow is suited to temperamental crops such as malting barley and seed grain that can be damaged by excess heat. The most popular Double Flow for on-farm use is the DF2200, a 1,000 bushel unit, capable of removing five points of moisture from 1,000 bushels of grain in one hour. In warm dry weather, it can also remove up to two points of moisture without burners. The Canadian contact is Larry Dorig with Dave Ross Equipment in Spirit River, Alta. The DF2200 sells for $214,000. For more information contact Dorig at 780-864-3731 or visit www. alvanblanch.com.

Double Flow dryer ideal in soggy Peace region BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Northern Alberta’s Peace River region is well known for having canola so wet it can’t even be tested. Larry Dorig, an Alvan Blanch Canadian dealer located at Spirit River, Alta., said he only stumbled across a solution to the problem out of sheer good luck.

“This wasn’t what I’d call good management. It was just good luck that we stumbled on these dryers.” Dorig said canola producers in the Peace who still use a tier dryer typically need to run the crop twice, and he thinks that wastes time. But the Double Flow compensates for temperature, airflow, depth of grain and speed of the grain, so it only needs a single pass. “Your bushels per hour may be less, but you only need to run the canola once, regardless of what the moisture is at the beginning. So it saves you a lot of hassle and extra grain movement. “The thing we really like is that we’ve never heard of a fire in one of these dryers. It’s low temperature at the grain and the flame is never close to the grain. “Fred (Pohr) burned his Vertec down to the ground about the time we bought our Double Flow. He needed a dryer, so he bought the same kind of Alvan Blanch dryer sight-unseen.” Pohr set up his Double Flow in 2004. The Fairview, Alta., farmer said he hasn’t had a fire or a drying problem since. There are no cereals on his farm. Pohr grows only canola, which always needs drying. “Our canola is often wet; untestable. You don’t know what the moisture is, except that you know it’s 22 percent or higher in a bad year. “In a good year, we start combining at 16 percent. It all goes through the dryer. We don’t wait for it to dry in the field. We bring it down to eight or nine percent, but it’s slow when it’s up over 22. In a good year when it’s 15 percent, we run 500 bu. per hour.” Pohr’s neighbour, Steve Kramer, said canola going into the hopper of his Double Flow is sometimes disgusting. “It’s like canola soup going into the hopper sometimes,” he said. “But we bring it down to dry, nine or 10 percent, in just one pass. “When it’s really wet, we run it only eight inches deep. In a better year at 16 percent, we run up to 12 inches deep.” Kramer admitted the dryer isn’t fast when you pour soup in the top and get nine percent canola at the bottom. Those conditions generally allow about 150 bu. per hour, but he’s happy that he ends up with a quality product. He said that in his corner of the world, drying is a necessity. Although the system is fully automated, Kramer said he still needs someone on hand to watch over things and move grain around when he wants to run 24/7.

Strict safety regulations inspire new machinery Grain vacs | Increased safety with lots of power and suction

G 9 5 5 9 at

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO — Stricter safety regulations in the United States that govern people working in bins have prompted equipment innovations such as a grain vac capable of pulling grain 30 metres. “OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) really clamped down on the practice of people entering bins with sweeps,” said Peter Kingma of the grain handling company Walinga. “And there’s no doubt that auger driven sweeps are a major danger. So the rules now state that no person can be inside a bin while a sweep is running.” Kingma said some elevator companies and their lawyers have taken the safe road, interpreting the law to mean that a drag conveyor under the bin also exposes employees to grave danger. They keep staff out of bins when the drag conveyor is running. “Most elevators don’t have the tractor power to run a large grain vac. They need a portable grain vac with it’s own power source. So as the safest alternative, many of the large companies like Cargill are buying high-volume, self-powered grain vacs like our 7614D.” Powered by a 185 horsepower JD 6068T diesel, the big vacuum is capable of moving corn and barley at a rate of 5,000 bushels per hour, wheat at 4,500 bu. per hour and beans at 4,000 bu. per hour. While positive displacement blowers are generally known to be excellent at pushing material, pulling material is not typically thought of as

This has prompted a new generation of self-powered grain vacs, according to Peter Kingma. | RON LYSENG PHOTO their strong point. With some of these big bins going up now, operators need 100 feet of suction. “The 7614D is a dual blower unit.

EQUIPMENT | AUGERS

Camera allows for increased control CabCam innovation | Attaches to machinery using magnets and a rubber base BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Being able to put the auger spout into the bin on the first try, in the dark, can save a lot of time and aggravation. That’s what Laurie Brownlee had in mind when he developed a magnetic mounting device to install a standard CabCam to the top end of a grain auger. “This lets you easily direct your auger into the bin,” Brownlee said. “The camera is infrared illuminating. It sends a you good clear image on the monitor from 32 feet in the dark. So even if you’re working in the middle of the night, you can put the spout where you want it the first time.” The camera is an off-the-shelf item, but Brownlee uses two powerful magnets attached to a flexible rubber base. They are mounted on the under side of the base and cling

securely to the steel. The camera mounts to the topside of the base, which has enough flex to match the curve of any size auger, air seeder tank or other type of flat or curved surface. “The magnets and rubber base let you quickly install the camera on any kind of metal surface,” he said. “There’s no need to build or install brackets or drill holes. Just peel it off one machine and slap it onto the next.” The camera requires 12 volt power, so it is not wireless. The power cord runs from the tractor up to the camera and another wire brings video down to the seven-inch monitor. The monitor can handle up to three cameras. Brownlee sells the package for $699, including one camera and a weatherproof bag for the monitor. For more information, contact Laurie Brownlee at 877-228-5598 or visit www.fullbinsupersensor.com.

NEWS BUREAUCRACY | REGULATIONS

Paperwork discourages ag business owners OTTAWA BUREAU

When Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett gets talking about “stupid paperwork” and stifling regulation, he will inevitably bring up farmers who mix their own feed. “The paperwork required for farmers doing their own feed is just unreal,” the Ontario farmer said. “For a lot of farmers, the regulations can be frustrating as hell.” For Greg Simpson of Simpson Seeds Inc. in Moose Jaw, it is the regulatory penalties he must face because he imports bags from Indonesia to pack with lentils that are then shipped to customers around the world. The government requires the company pay a duty to bring the bags into the country as a way to encourage purchases from a Canadian manufacturer of similar bags. Getting the duty refunded requires plenty of paperwork. Simpson, featured in a regulationcritical video produced by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said government red tape discourages agricultural business operators. “I think it will kill the entrepreneurial spirit,” he said in the CFIB video. A federal red tape reduction commission agreed. In a sweeping midJanuary report that made recommendations throughout government, it urged Ottawa to cut unnecessary food and agriculture regulation, including in agriculture, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz embraced the proposals for deregulation, citing the planned end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly and its buy-back regulations next summer as an example of reducing regulation that impedes farmer business decisions. “Farming, not form filling, made Canada’s agriculture industry the powerful economic driver it is today,” he said in a news release. In releasing the report, small business minister of state Maxime Bernier embraced the idea of giving the auditor general the power to oversee regulatory reform, including a commitment that whenever a new regulation is being added, an older regulation should be eliminated. Ritz said Agriculture Canada accepts the “one-for-one” recommendation. “This will require the removal of at least one regulation each time a new one is introduced that imposes administrative burden on business.” Critics complained that the proposal to reduce regulations and what Bernier called the need to work on “the process of controlling federal regulation and its irritants” was simply a proposal to give the corporate sector more power and less public oversight. Bonnett said the critics do not understand the regulatory overburden that makes agriculture less competitive. “Canadian farmers face a myriad of regulations each day and any effort to streamline or reduce redundancy will help farmers’ bottom line.” Bonnett said health, food safety and animal welfare regulatory protections must not be compromised,

but rules for approving agricultural inputs should be harmonized when possible so Canadian farmers have access to the same tools available to foreign competitors. The CFIB said a survey of farmer members found that 67 percent reported regulatory requirements had increased in the past three years, the highest result among small business sectors. “Farmers have spoken,” said a CFIB statement. “They want governments to take immediate action and place a higher priority on cutting red tape at the farmgate.”

Shoppers seek local beef, but grading info needed BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Beef is king at the Canadian meat counter, according to retailers who talked to a University of Guelph demographic scientist in a recent survey. Tanya Mark surveyed meat managers and operators in seven grocery store chains in Eastern and Western Canada to gauge their attitudes toward beef and sales approaches. She told Lethbridge area cattle feeders Jan. 25 that chicken is the biggest threat to beef’s throne. Poultry tends to outsell beef when retailers feature it, she added. Retailers told Mark that their customers see chicken as a lean protein

choice w ith more preparation options and better opportunity for portion control. Retailers are moving to full service meat counters to provide “meal solutions” and gourmet offerings. Only five to 15 percent of beef is now sold through full-service meat counters, she said. Shoppers who do buy at the counter are more “finicky” than other consumers and like to choose the size of the cut they buy. Mark noted the following consumption trends among Canadians: • growing preference for vegetables • desire for smaller beef portions • more interest in fusion-style meals such as stir fry • Chinese immigrant preference for fish and chicken

• desire for greater food convenience and simplicity Mark said Canadians prefer “local” beef. Alberta beef is the overwhelming favourite in Western Canada, while Eastern Canada identifies with Ontario beef. The market for natural, hormonefree and grass-fed beef is small, at less than two percent of sales, Mark said. Some retailers said it’s not worth the effort to stock this type of product. However, certified organic beef does have a small but steady demand. Retailers said consumer education is needed because confusion remains about the grading system, and people are unable to tell a good steak from a poorer one just by looking at it. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CATTLE RESEARCH | FEED EFFICIENCY

College evaluates value of feed efficiency system LEFT: Instructor Geoff Brown demonstrates the GrowSafe technology at Lakeland College in Vermilion, Alta. The feeding trial at the college began in November and will run until April.

Most for the money | Technology determines which animals produce more beef on less feed BY SUSAN HODGES FREELANCE WRITER

VERMILION, Alta. — Research at Lakeland College in Vermilion may give livestock producers a new option when choosing stock for their herds. “The GrowSafe feeding technology measures individual feed intakes for livestock within a pen. We are the eighth facility in Alberta to install this equipment and we hope this will open the door on gauging an animal’s efficiency,” said Geoff Brown, an instructor with the college’s student managed farm. “Before we had this technology, the only way to look at intakes in cattle would be to actually figure out how much feed you were unloading into the feed bunks and then divide that by the number of head in the pen.” GrowSafe calculates individual feed intake by weighing the feed in the bunk and linking it to the animal’s radio frequency tag. “It can correlate back to that individual animal and figure out how much they are eating and in what feed bunk they are feeding.” access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

Brown told producers attending a Jan. 11 open house that this allows them to select animals based on feeding efficiencies.

FLOODING | COMPENSATION

Alberta feedlot owners seek aid BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta feedlot owners want the provincial government to help them with repair costs related to flood damage. At the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association’s annual meeting Jan. 16, chief executive officer Bryan Walton said the group has been in discussions with the province for more than a year about the issue. Extremely wet conditions in 2010 caused havoc in some feedlots when the base beneath pens was saturated and damaged by cattle and efforts to clean. Pens had to be rebuilt from the ground up in some cases. Walton said flood-related disaster day to maintain the system,” said Brown. “So we will know which animals are producing more beef with less feed, and that is a heritable trait. So we can basically look at keeping back breeding stock that are more efficient than other livestock that are on the same diets and that really should increase efficiency overall in the herd.” Students at the farm used to conduct traditional bull tests, feeding out animals for private producers and holding a sale at the end of the year. Brown said the new system was looked at as a way for the college to update its testing facility. “We really appreciate the support from GrowSafe Inc., which is a Canadian company out of Airdrie, (Alta.,) that developed this technology. They started out kind of small and the research was primarily done in Alberta, and there are now 55 research stations around the world using this system,” he said. Brown said they welcome the increased information the system provides because efficiency tracking in beef cattle hasn’t improved over the past 100 years. “When you look at other livestock species, some have made great strides in efficiency. So it is kind of a new frontier in terms of the genetic selection.” He said the college is still weighing its options with the technology. “We haven’t talked yet about what we are going to do with the equipment, specifically, whether it will be in applied research projects or going back into a commercial bull test situation,” said Brown. “There is potential, definitely, to work with producers and test the seed stock they have out there in the marketplace. We could test on the livestock to see which ones are the most efficient and could garner a premium, depending on what the end users are willing to pay for the bulls.” Brown said the college has been running a test since the system was installed in November to become familiar with the new technology. “What we did as a student-managed farm team is that we had to have some animals in just to get the system operational,” he said. “So the student-managed farm came up with a proposal to finish some steers. We are using steers Cargill has locked in for slaughter so these cattle will be finished and go to slaughter in April. That also allows us to test the waters in terms of finishing cattle, which is something we haven’t done here in quite a few years.”

assistance was available, but a payment cap meant some feedlots were not eligible. The Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments provided assistance to feedlots in those provinces, he added. “The issue is the arbitrary nature of the cap and the second (issue) is, looking at the other provinces and having some recognition that there was significant costs related to adverse weather and the fact that it happened in Alberta too,” Walton said. John Vander Hayden of Picture Butte, Alta., who has capacity for 43,000 head in his three feedlots, said costs were high to rebuild the base beneath some of his pens. “There basically should not be caps,” he said.

U.S. BEEF NUMBERS | PRODUCTION, PRICES

Shrinking U.S. herds may send beef prices higher Retail price at record high | Drought in southern plains has dried up pasture and forced ranchers to liquidate CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Texas rancher Jim Selman is on the verge of going out of the cattle business, a victim of one of the worst droughts since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The more than 300 cattle on his 3,000 acre ranch in Gonzales County have dwindled to seven as the verdant pastures turned into dried up brush and hay prices went through the roof. Scenes like this have become the hallmark of the once robust ranching community in Texas and to a lesser extent in Oklahoma and Kansas.

Fears that the United States will run out of cattle and suffer from a shortage in beef supplies have lit a fire under the live cattle futures market at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The size of the U.S. herd, which is already the smallest since the 1950s, is expected to shrink even further. “I will not be terribly surprised if prices head even higher,” said livestock analyst Dan Vaught of Vaught Futures Insight in Altus, Arkansas. However, he said prices will first likely retreat during the winter and spring when supplies typically rise

and also because of poor margins for beef packers. “I don’t see prices going a whole lot higher in the short run. Margins are

extremely poor for packers,” he said. Beef packers are generally swimming in red ink because the price of beef has not kept pace with the surge in cattle prices. Data shows that packers have been running losses since the middle of September. “That the wholesale beef market is flat, has stalled, to me is an important factor at this particular juncture,” said analyst Dale Durchholz of Agrivisor Services in Bloomington, Illinois. “When looking at the basic demand ingredient, prices are telling you access=subscriber section=news,none,none

something entirely different from the supply side. Are we running on fumes?” he said, adding beef packers will begin to cut back production if losses are prolonged. Packers have been buying cattle despite heavy losses because they needed to meet previously signed contracts to deliver beef. As well, they want to protect market share by keeping production steady. However, Durchholz said these packers could give market share less importance if the losses continued. Retail beef prices hit a record high of $5.01 per pound US in December, beating the previous of $5 set in November. A key driving force behind the surge in cattle futures has been investment by index funds, which take market positions for long-term benefits, and other money managers, analysts said. “The funds will grab on the trends because they are momentum players and you had fundamentals on your side because of the declining cattle numbers,” said Joe Ocrant, president of Oak Investment Group and a registered commodity trading adviser. He said commodities funds track market trends and revise positions regularly. The net long positions held by index funds rose by more than 50 percent since May 2011. A historic drought in the southern plains that has lasted about a year is at the heart of the rally in cattle prices because the absence of pasture forced ranchers to liquidate their herd or send them to feedlots at an accelerated pace. Cattle usually feed on pasture until they are around 600 lb. before ranchers send them to feedlots, where they are fattened on a steady diet of corn until they are about 1,200 lb. and then sold to meat packers for slaughter. The lack of pasture, coupled with a surge in corn prices, which hit a record high near $8 per bushel last June, forced some ranchers to send cattle that were below 600 lb. to feedlots, shrinking the calf supply. This reduction has led feeder cattle futures to multiple record highs this month as feedlots scrambled to secure supplies. Demand for these feeders was also stoked by a recent slide in corn futures at the Chicago Board of Trade to around $6 because of more than expected U.S. supplies. “As far as cattle go, because so many of them were brought in because of the drought, there isn’t a l o t t o c h o o s e f ro m n o w ,” s a i d Ocrant. “Also, a lot of the cattle that are coming out of feedlots now are lighter weight cattle, which means we’re getting less beef from them.” In what analysts said was a sign of the shrinking supply, the USDA’s cattle on feed report on Jan. 20 showed that the number of cattle placed in feedlots fell six percent from a year ago in December, the biggest drop since May 2011. Strong beef exports to South Korea and Japan, which have fully resumed imports for the first time since the outbreak of BSE in the United States in 2003, have also been driving prices for cattle higher.

CATTLE | BATTLING INSECTS

Natural pesticide protects African cattle from biting ticks Fever tea | The perennial woody shrub grows throughout southern and eastern Africa BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Poor farmers in East Africa have traditionally used the leaves from a woody shrub to control fevers. They have now found that they can also help their cattle cope with ticks by soaking and pulping those leaves to produce an extract that they can spray on their livestock. Biting insects can transmit blood parasites and cause irritating wounds that lead to infection. Fever tea, also known as lemon bush, is a perennial plant that stands one to two metres high and is widespread throughout South Africa with the exception of the Western Cape and grows northward into Botswana, Swaziland, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Kenya and Zimbabwe. It grows in open veld and the bush and along forest margins. The leaves are hairy and smell of lemons when crushed, making it among the more aromatic indigenous plants in South Africa. Its flowers are small and white, blooming in dense flower heads. It is the leaves that are the most valuable to people with livestock. African producers with bigger herds control ticks, mites and flies by dipping their cattle in a commercial pesticide but this is impractical and expensive for poorer farmers with just a small number of livestock. Now, with some help from science, they can look to the fever tea shrub for a natural solution. A team from Great Britain’s University of Greenwich, working in collaboration with the University of Zimbabwe, pulped and soaked the fever tea leaves in water to produce an extract that could be sprayed on cattle. The goal was to find safer alternatives to synthetic pesticides and reduce field crop damage, stored product losses and livestock illness or mortality. Researchers experimented with varying concentrations to discover which would be the most effective application method and offer the best level of protection against bites. “The material (plant) was reportedly used by farmers in a particular way and at a vague concentration so we had an idea of the range of concentrations to test,” said Phil Stevenson, head of chemical ecology in the University of Greenwich’s agriculture, health and environment department. “We are primarily interested in validating materials that can then be promoted widely to offer small holders and poor farmers a sustainable and environmentally benign alternative to expensive and toxic pesticides.

It is already used as a green tea to re d u c e t h e s y m p t o m s o f f e v e r although, like almost anything, if consumed at very high concentrations, it can cause problems.” Fever tea, formally known as Lippia javanica, occurs as two subspecies, L. javanica and L. whiteii. The chemistry differs between the two but most people would not be able to tell them apart easily. “The differences in their chemistry are something we are working on right now,” said Stevenson. “When used at the correct dosage, Lippia javanica proved to be almost as effective as the industrial pesticides used for tick control.” He said researchers haven’t been able to identify the active ingredients that make it work as a pesticide, but most are probably essential oils. “We are working on this at the moment, looking at the water soluble chemicals,” he said. “We did this thinking that since the extract was made in water, then the compounds must be water soluble. However, in reality the essential oils will be in the water extract used to treat cattle.” Stevenson said the plant flowers almost continuously, which makes it difficult to separate the flower from the leaves. The essential oils are found in the flowers and leaves but not in the root and stems. The shrub’s leaves can be easily harvested from abundant bushes in the wild and readily grown from seed. Farmers require only the time it takes to harvest and prepare the Lippia extract as opposed to buying expensive, commercial synthetic pesticides. Further research is continuing into how best to extract the active ingredients and how to apply them to the lower parts of cattle, where the ticks attach themselves. The plant extracts appear to have no side effects on people or animals, and the solution lasts only as long as it takes to clear the animal of ticks. One rain will wash it off. The work is part of the African Dryland Alliance for Pesticidal Plant Technologies (ADAPPT) project, which is funded by the European Union and led by the University of Greenwich. Partners include the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and non-government organizations, agricultural institutes, ministries, and universities from eight African countries. Stevenson said the focus of the study is to validate and promote a locally sustainable practice for poor farmers, but production of the shrub as a commercial venture could face challenges. “The cost of registration is likely to make this uneconomical,” said Stevenson.

“It’s a perennial problem in developing plant-based pesticides. As a herbal remedy, no problem, since the regulations governing the production, sale and distribution of plants for medicinal use that a herbalist recommends you put directly into your mouth are pretty relaxed,” h e s a i d . “ How e v e r, a mat e r i a l described as a pesticide that could potentially kill people, animals and insects therefore has to undergo the same process as synthetic chemicals. It is made all the more complicated by the number of chemicals in the plant.” Stevenson said a patent has been filed in the United States to develop the essential oils as a possible application for people.

WORLD IN BRIEF CROP PRODUCTION

Drought hurts Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentine corn and soybeans have benefited from soaking rains that were expected to continue in the weeks ahead. That has revived hopes that farmers can salvage crops parched by weeks of hot, dry weather. The drought, which hit in December after months of below-average rainfall, had jacked up grain futures prices and raised concerns about global food supplies. Argentina is the second biggest exporter of corn and third largest supplier of soybeans. “The weather should continue to normalize in the weeks ahead, with more regular rainfall in eastern and central parts of the country,” the

state-run National Institute for Agricultural Technology said. But the showers arrived too late for some fields. The government said the weather has already taken a toll on 2011-12 corn yields and soybean production. It could crimp government tax revenue. WORLD MARKETS

Kazakhstan plagued by lack of rail cars ASTANA, Kazakhstan (Reuters) — Kazakhstan exported about 4.1 million tonnes of grain and flour in the four months to Dec. 31, its agriculture ministry announced recently. However, exports lagged behind forecasts for the year because of a lack of rail cars. Kazakhstan is among the world’s

top 10 wheat exporters of wheat and for the last few years has been its largest flour exporter. “According to our forecasts, the export potential of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the 2011-12 marketing year will total around 15 million tonnes,” deputy agriculture minister Muslim Umiryayev said. “To realize in full the country’s export potential of 15 million tonnes a year, it is necessary to ensure that a total of 10.2 million tonnes, including flour, and 8.7 million tonnes of grain proper, must be loaded for exports by July 1 of the current year,” the ministry said in an analytical note. An official at state-owned grain trader, the Food Contract Corp., said the country would not manage to export more than 10 million tonnes, including flour in grain equivalent, out of the potential 15 million. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

American government researchers at the Agricultural Research Service

in Florence, South Carolina, suggest farmers in the southeastern United States could use the tropical legume sunn hemp in their crop rotations. Scientists compared the energy content of sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), another common regional summer cover crop, in 2004 and 2006. In 2004, when there was ample rainfall, the sunn hemp biomass yield exceeded 4.08 tonnes per acre, equivalent to 82.4 gigajoules of energy per acre. That’s in the ballpark with other bioenergy crops, which yield 30 to 150 gigajoules per acre. The higher heating value of sunn hemp biomass exceeded that of switchgrass, Bermuda grass, reed canarygrass, and alfalfa. And although low rain resulted in lower hemp biomass yields in 2006, sunn hemp’s higher heating value for both study years was four to five percent greater than that of cowpea. WORLD MARKETS

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia’s government, which has said the country should export no more than 23 to 25 million tonnes of grain during this crop year, could consider protective duties from April, when exports are likely to hit that level, traders and analysts said. Russia’s government announced last June it would regulate exports via duties in the future as it prepared to lift a ban on grain exports imposed in the wake of a catastrophic drought in the summer of 2010. A spokesperson for prime minister Vladimir Putin said he was unaware of any plans to discuss a new duty. But European wheat futures hit a new four-month high Jan. 25, spurred by talk that Russia could impose new tariffs. BIOTECHNOLOGY

Monsanto cool on GM corn sales in France (Reuters) — U.S. biotech firm Monsanto said it does not plan to sell its genetically modified corn MON810 in France this year, nor after, even though the country’s highest court overturned a threeyear ban in November. “Monsanto considers that favourable conditions for the sale of the MON810 in France in 2012 and beyond are not in place,” the company said in a statement, adding that it had told the French authorities about its intentions. The French government said earlier this month it would uphold its ban on the insect-resistant strain of corn, despite the court’s decision to annul the ban, saying that it had not produced enough evidence that Monsanto’s MON810 posed a significant risk to health or the environment.

RESEARCH | BIRD FLU

Virus fears halt bird flu research

Health workers pack dead chickens at a wholesale poultry market in Hong Kong in this file image from Dec. 21. Researchers have suspended bird flu studies for 60 days to allow agencies time to assess fears that a mutant virus created in the laboratory could pose a danger to the public. |

Scientists agreed to let biosecurity experts assess the risk of a mutant virus causing a pandemic NEW YORK , N.Y. (Reuters) — Researchers studying a potentially more lethal, airborne version of bird flu have suspended their studies because of concerns the mutant virus they have created could be used as a bioterrorism weapon or accidentally escape the lab. In a letter published in the journals Nature and Science in mid-January, 39 scientists defended the research as crucial to public health efforts, including surveillance programs to detect when the H5N1 influenza virus might mutate and spark a pandemic. However, they are bowing to fear that has become widespread since media reports discussed the studies in December that the engineered viruses “may escape from the laboratories,” not unlike the frightful scenario in the 1971 science fiction movie The Andromeda Strain, or possibly be used to create a bioterror weapon. Among the scientists who signed the letter were leaders of the two teams that have spearheaded the research at Erasmus Medical College in the Netherlands and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, as well as influenza experts at institutions ranging from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the University of Hong Kong. The decision to suspend research for 60 days “was (made) totally voluntarily,” said virologist Ron Fouchier of Erasmus. The pause is meant to allow global health agencies and governments to weigh the benefits of the research and agree on ways to minimize its risk. “It is the right thing to do, given the controversies in the U.S.,” Fouchier said. The U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity asked Science and Nature in December to censor details of the research from the Erasmus and Wisconsin teams that was submitted for publication. Biosecurity experts fear that a form of the virus that is transmissible through airborne droplets, which the Erasmus and Wisconsin teams independently created, could spark a pandemic worse than the 1918-19 outbreak of Spanish flu, which killed up to 40 million people. “There is obviously a controversy here over the right balance between risk and benefit,” said virologist Daniel Perez of the University of Maryland, who signed the letter supporting the moratorium. “I strongly believe that this research needs to continue, but that doesn’t mean you can’t call a time out.” The researchers’ decision shifts the focus of debate from whether the studies should be made public to whether they should have been done at all, given the theoretical possibility that a highly infectious virus could be stolen or escape from a lab. Some of the studies were funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at NIH, said the access=subscriber section=news,none,none

decision to fund the research was justified. “The proposal the investigators put forth to do this research was appropriate,” said Fauci, who was “actively involved” in the decision to call a moratorium on the research. “The value of the research is clear, as even the biosecurity board unanimously agreed.”

FEDERAL BUDGET | SPENDING

ENVIRONMENT | COAL ALTERNATIVE

Budget cuts may hit Ag Canada Think-tank predicts reduction in Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspectors BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A left-leaning Ottawa research centre is warning that impending government cuts in an expected March budget could mean the loss of hundreds of Agriculture Canada jobs and deep spending cuts. In a Jan. 23 report, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives projected that more than 600 Agriculture Canada positions could be eliminated and $220 million cut from the department’s budget over the next several years as the Conservative government looks for ways to balance the budget. Hard hit would be the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the food inspection system, said David Macdonald from the CCPA. “Inspectors’ jobs have already seen disproportionate cuts (workplace safety and food inspection), which may mean more are in the works, this despite Canada’s still-vivid memory of the 2008 listeriosis outbreak,” he wrote. Meanwhile, the agriculture union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, which is a sponsor of the CCPA, released a report last week predicting significant food inspector cuts at the CFIA. Based on departmental projections for 2013-14, union president Bob Kingston representing CFIA inspectors said the agency is projected to lose $21 million in annual budget and 207 food safety officers and inspectors. Part of the projection was based on an end to more frequent inspections that started after the 2008 listeria outbreak, which killed more than 20 Canadians eating Maple Lead Foods products. “This looks like an exercise to make regulation cheaper, not safer or smarter,” he told a Parliament Hill news conference. “Ottawa should worry about undermining public confidence with food safety cuts because that will be bad for the industry.” Kingston said the CFIA recently started a public consultation about proposed new regulations aimed to be more efficient and less onerous f or in d us t r y , l ook i n g more at the safety of products produced rather than how they were produced. The CFIA said in a statement that the agency budget has not been cut, and while money in earlier budgets for increased inspection and listeria testing were meant to expire after several years, it doesn’t mean they will. That will be decided in future budgets, including one expected in March. “While these particular funds are expected to sunset in March 2012, no decision has been made on the renewal of these funds at this time,” said the CFIA response. “As is done with all federal programs, the CFIA is looking at ways to ensure that our resources provide consumers with the most significant food safety benefits.” Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz noted in a statement the Conservative government has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in recent access=subscriber section=news,none,none

budgets to increase food inspector numbers and to improve the system. “Canadian families can be assured

that the safety of our food supply will not be affected as the agency takes on their standard review of programs and assesses what investments are needed for the future,” he said. Opposition critics jumped on the predictions of impending cuts. “Minister Ritz must act responsibly and inform Canadians how many inspectors will be cut, what reductions will occur to the frequency of inspection of food processing facilities and what plans are in place for a future food-borne crisis,” said Liberal agriculture critic Frank Valeriote.

Program urges switch to biomass SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Coal users in Manitoba are being offered funding assistance to encourage them to switch to biomass energy products. The Manitoba Biomass Energy Support Program provides $400,000 in funds to help coal users switch and to support the expansion of the biomass energy production industry. Biomass can be produced from residue such as straw, oat hulls and flax shives. The multi-year program could increase to $1.5 million later this year based on revenue expected from the emissions tax on coal that came into effect Jan. 1. The consumer support component provides grants of up to $12,000 to

coal users to help offset the price differential between coal and biomass products from Jan. 1 to March 31. The capital aspect provides grants of up to $50,000 to help biomass u s e r s a n d p ro c e s s o r s d e v e l o p renewable biomass products for use in combustion heating systems. Money will be used for infrastructure upgrades required to manufacture or consume biomass fuel, including expansion of existing facilities or development of new ones. Applicants may include farms, communities, rural business and industrial users. Grant applications must be received by March 9.

SPRUCE GROVE, Alta. — Federal funding to help promote Canadian food and beverages abroad gives a real boost to Canadian companies, says a director of the Canadian Honey Council. Bernie Rousseau said the $600,000 funding would help companies such as Bee Maid Honey expand exports. “The funding program is tremendously valuable. It really helps,” said Rousseau, who recently retired from Bee Maid but still represents the

company on the Canadian Honey Council. David Anderson, parliamentary secretary to the natural resources minister, made the funding announcement at the Bee Maid facility in Spruce Grove. The money will be used to help Food and Beverage Canada lead a joint trade mission to the Gulfood Show in Dubai next month. “The investment enables us to continue to offer programs that work to maintain and develop markets around the world,” said Wendy Hindle, executive director of Food and Beverage Canada.

Canada exported $20 billion worth of food and beverages in 2010. Rousseau said Bee Maid, a western Canadian honey co-operative, wants to increase its market share with value-added products. It packs and ships more than 18 million pounds of honey a year to 30 countries. Rousseau said China is a big market for honey and the co-op hopes to sell honey to South Korea once an agricultural free trade agreement is in place. “If we get free trade on the rest of the agriculture products, the potential is unlimited there,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Just like the television game show, “the price was right” for the sale of Great Northern Grain Terminal’s Nampa, Alta., facility to grain giant Richardson International. Bruce Horner, chief executive officer of Great Northern Grain, said Richardson would likely have built its own terminal down the road if the smaller company didn’t sell, which would have been just one more competitor for the independently owned and operated grain terminal in Alberta’s Peace River region. Cargill is already building a facility at nearby McLennan. To remain competitive, Great Northern needed to build more storage, which meant borrowing money. “We didn’t want to borrow more money. We’re in our 60s,” Horner said about him and his partners. It takes big money to build more storage and “play the game,” he added. “We wished we could have kept at it and had it running for 150 years,” said Horner. Great Northern still operates a terminal in Killam, southeast of Edmonton, and will stay involved in its network of producer and dealer cars. With changes to the Canadian Wheat Board, Horner believes there may be opportunities on the producer car and marketing side of the business. The sale to Richardson is expected to close by Feb. 9. Winnipeg-based Richardson has invested more than $80 million in the Peace River region since 2007. The company bought crop input centres in Manning, Falher and Fairview in 2010 and is putting the final touches on a 20,000-tonne fertilizer storage shed at Rycroft. Richardson said it would add 14,000 tonnes of grain storage to the Nampa facility, add fertilizer blending facilities and double the rail car spot from 52 to 104 cars. “The Nampa facility will now give us presence in both the eastern and western parts of the region and we look forward to providing greater service to customers,” Darwin Sobkow of Richardson said in a news release. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SCT® lifts the openers when seeded ground is encountered and shuts down metering of seed and fertilizer, resulting in reduced ground disturbance, reduced doubling up of inputs and increased yields.

SECTIONAL CONTROL TECHNOLOGY – DELIVERS WHEN YOU NEED IT A weatherman isn’t needed to tell many farmers that Mother Nature delivered one of the wettest springs on record in 2010. They saw it first-hand: seeding was delayed, acres were left under water, and when tractors could get in the fields, the results weren’t often pretty – unless they had a Seed Hawk® equipped with Sectional Control technology (SCT). “In the wet conditions we saw in spring 2010, (the SCT) worked tremendously. It works in all conditions of course, but in the wet conditions it allowed us to seed when other systems wouldn’t,” said Kent Hanmer, who farms with his family in the Govan, Saskatchewan area. “If you have a lot of wet to go around, every time you overlap you’re wasting. With the SCT, it knows exactly where it is, and it turns the seed and fertilizer on at the correct time.”

SCT is an innovative way to eliminate overlaps and save on input costs. SCT works in conjunction with GPS and autosteer to lift sections of openers when seeded ground is encountered and shut down metering of seed and fertilizer, reducing ground disturbance and doubling up of inputs. “You get uniform emergence and it seems like every seed wants to grow,” said Guy Cadrain, who operates Cadrain Farms near Leask, Saskatchewan. “Originally what drew us to Seed Hawk was the uniform emergence, but what has impressed me is the ability to seed in adverse conditions. We were able to seed a lot of wet acres this year.” SCT provides a more uniform harvest by eliminating green or lodged areas due to over-fertilized headlands. It eliminates over-fertilized areas that lodge and can plug the seeder the following year, eliminating double seeding and overlapping – effectively increasing yields. SCT automatically starts and stops at the headlands when turning, greatly improving operator ease.

“Through the Sectional Control I believe we’ve probably saved about eight and a half percent on our seed and fertilizer. This translates into about $170,000 in savings for our farm,” said Cadrain. “Sectional Control saves huge dollars on the bottom line.” Hanmer could only agree, “We feel that we saved 20 percent on input costs this spring. It’s easy math, if you use even $200 an acre, which is quite low for canola, and that drill went across 11,000 acres, 20 percent, that’s pretty huge.” The proof is in the numbers: at only $60,000 for each unit, SCT has delivered great ROI for the farmers who use it.

Lethbridge College Tiffin Conference. “You’ve got to maintain handling. A lot of people go out and go to a seminar and they’re all gung ho, ‘we’re going to do really good cattle handling,’ and you come back a year later and they’ve slowly slipped back into bad practices,” she said. Grandin, a professor at Colorado State University, was last year named in Time magazine’s list of 100 most influential people. She has autism and has often said the condition helped her understand how animals feel and behave. She has designed livestock handling systems and packing plant facilities aimed at lowering animal stress. She is widely sought as a consultant on animal behaviour, writes widely on the subject and has written two books about humane livestock handling and animal behaviour. Grandin told her Lethbridge audience that simple things can reduce livestock stress in handling. Moving cattle calmly, without shouting, waving or using electric prods, are important parts of that, she said. “People working with animals need to learn how to be observant,” she said in an interview before her talk. “They tend to be afraid of little things we don’t notice. A chain hanging down in a chute, reflection on a chute, a piece of metal jiggling, a coat on a fence.” Producers should take advantage of cattle’s tendency to follow one another and to go back the way they came. Curved chutes, sight lines and avoidance of overcrowding can ease stress on animals and people. “Less bruises, better safety for people, you’re going to be less likely to get dark cutting meat or tough meat, better weight gain, less sickness. There’s lots of reasons for handling animals quietly and it’s one of the things that doesn’t cost anything to implement.” Grandin is an advocate of video auditing in packing plants and was instrumental in getting some major packers to use it. Cargill and JBS Swift both have cameras in their plants, including the Cargill plant in High River, Alta., she said. “Auditors back in the United States can watch in at any time and see what’s going on in the stunning chute, the unloading area and the cattle handling area, and the advantage of doing that auditing over the internet is you get rid of the problem of people acting good when they see a person there with a clipboard.” It has been 35 years since Grandin started working to improve livestock handling, and she said there has been progress. “Compared to the bad old days in the ’80s and ’70s, there has been a lot of improvement, and what I’ve seen is, the people I’d classify as excellent and good, that has really increased. “Unfortunately there’s still a bottom 10 percent that are still just as bad as they were back in the ’70s, but more and more people are getting aware of good handling.” More information on livestock handling is available on Grandin’s website at www.grandin.com.

New system in development stage | Feed savings could average $8 per pig BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. —Feeding pigs individually formulated diets could help them grow better and save money, but the practice of precision feeding is not yet a reality. Canadian and Spanish scientists are working to develop a computerized feeding system that can assess how much each animal needs to eat as it grows. Agriculture Canada researcher Candido Pomar says the concept is in the early stages, but scientists already know that most pigs receive more nutrients than they need and the excess gets lost in excrement. With feed costs making up 65 to 70 percent of a hog farm’s expenses, adjusting the rations could be a saving of around $8 per pig, said Pomar, who works at the department’s research centre in Lennoxville, Que. He told the recent Banff Pork Seminar that pigs are typically raised in large groups and receive the same feed, even though nutrient requirements vary greatly among the individuals. “If you feed by the average, only half the pigs will get what they need,” said Pomar. His research has found that 82 percent of pigs receive more protein than they need for maintenance and growth. “We are feeding pigs too much protein,” he said. Tests showed that feeding pigs daily tailored diets reduced nitrogen and phosphorus intake by 25 and 29 percent, respectively. The material in their excrement was reduced by 38 percent. Precision feeding could give each animal what it needs to grow and then adjust the rations as the pig matures. “That is a change in the way we are feeding pigs,” Pomar said. “In precision feeding, we are talk-

ing about nutrient requirement as a dynamic process that changes day by day. It depends what the pig is doing.” Most rations are calculated on the basis that three kilograms of protein are needed to make one kg of body protein. In Pomar’s project, the researchers needed two kg of protein to make one kg of body protein. The system identifies each pig when it puts its head into the feeder. The computer then blends two or more premixes to deliver small meals providing the right amount of nutrition. Pomar said coming up with the optimal diet is difficult, and improved measures are needed to estimate individual requirements. To do that, the study weighed pigs every two weeks, assessed body composition four times and used X-ray equipment to measure total body fat and lean ratios. He said the system must be easy to use on the farm, even though it is a complex technology. It must also be cost effective and reliable.

NEWS IMPLANTS | BEEF QUALITY

More beef, lower quality can still make the grade Centennial Column Celebrating 100 years of students at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. The Centennial Column is a weekly feature highlighting the history and present successes of the college.

The Third Quarter Century

The college under went a number of changes during this period. In 1963 the Department of Extension became a unit administratively separate from the college, with campus-wide extension responsibilities. The Crop Development Centre, established in 1971 as part of the Crop Science Department, was set up to expand research activities in crop breeding. The Departments of Animal Science and Poultry Science became a single unit in 1976. This was followed, in 1982, by the amalgamation of the Departments of Crop Science and Plant Ecology. The college sponsored several associate research and service facilities over this period. A number of these were operated under the direction of the Department of Animal and Poultry Science. In 1963 the department opened a beef and cattle research facility that was among the best in North America for studying problems of feedlot finishing cattle. A dairy cattle research unit, completed in 1972, provides improved cattle handling and milking techniques as well as equipment for studying a variety of management procedures. A major research facility, the Prairie Swine Centre, was opened in 1980. The Poultry Science Centre, with facilities for brooding and rearing chicks, and a barn for adult birds, was opened in 1985. The Saskatchewan Soil Testing Laboratory, established in 1966 under the direction of the Department of Soil Science, provides accurate analyses and interpretations of soil samples so that producers can make the most efficient use of fertilizers. The Crop Science Field Laboratory in Saskatoon, opened in 1972, provides facilities and land for research by the Department of Crop Science and Plant Ecology. From the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, the college stepped up its research efforts in all subject areas. Our researchers received world-wide recognition for their studies of the effects of low temperatures on dairy cattle. Several new crop varieties were licensed, including Stewart in 1963â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a durum wheat that by 1969 occupied 70 percent of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s durum acreage. Studies of soil quality, initiated in the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s, documented serious soil degradation due to erosion, organic matter loss, structural deterioration and salinization. The Crop Development Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legume breeding program, started in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, virtually created Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pulse crop industry by developing hardy varieties of lentils and fababeans, along with appropriate management methods to suit Saskatchewan conditions. Vegetable weed control studies first undertaken in 1972 eventually produced effective methods of combatting weeds in potatoes, carrots, and onions. In the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, field studies of copper deficiency in cattle produced results of great benefit to Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cattle industry. Biotechnology research during the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s promised to develop microorganisms that would produce bioinsecticides, fuels, vaccines, and even fix nitrogen for cereal grains.

Tenderness versus faster weight gain | There is a market for lower grade beef and producers must weigh the pros and cons BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The benefits of implants on cattle weight gain are well known in the f e e d i n g i n d u s t r y , b u t i t â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a l s o known that implants can toughen meat, making it less desirable to consumers. Those two facts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily conflict when it comes to beef marketing, said Elanco meat scientist Sandra Gruber. There is a market for lower grade beef just as there is a market for tender steaks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing you want to do is identify what your target outcome is,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you producing for a branded beef company? Are you producing for somebody that just wants pounds? Obviously, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t want everyone to produce just pounds because in terms of long-term beef demand, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to hurt us in the end.â&#x20AC;? Her presentation to feedlot operators in Lethbridge Jan. 25 raised few eyebrows. Many have heard the message about the effects of implants and beta agonists on beef quality, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong incentive to use growth enhancing technology when payment is based on pounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I heard today, not too much of it is new,â&#x20AC;? Picture Butte feedlot operator Leighton Kolk said after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up to date on what it does and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to change what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll change as our customer asks us to change.â&#x20AC;? In her presentation, Gruber said implants and beta agonists work in two ways: they inhibit protein degradation in the animal or they enhance protein synthesis to increase muscle. Some can do both.

Obviously, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t want everyone to produce just pounds because in terms of long-term beef demand, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to hurt us in the end. SANDRA GRUBER MEAT SCIENTIST

Either way, the effect is to increase size of rib eye. Since growth enhancing technology does not increase fat, the amount of marbling is lower relative to the muscle, making a tougher steak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Implant cattle will always grade lower,â&#x20AC;? said Gruber. However, implant use can add $100 or more to an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value. The benefit increases to $150 when combined with feed additives, dewormers and other treatments at the expensive finishing phase. On the flip side, consumers consistently rate tenderness as a primary measure of a good beef-eating experience. Tenderness is influenced by marbling, and marbling is directly related to how beef is graded. Top grades have heavier marbling and bring a premium price, particularly in branded programs such as Certified Angus Beef. Gruber said new research shows marbling is a lifetime event for an animal rather than a result achieved in the final phases of feeding and finishing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can impact marbling throughout an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime,â&#x20AC;? she said, but there is an upper limit determined by the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genotype. Research shows animal health is

directly related to marbling ability. Cattle that never had to be treated had much higher marbling scores, while cattle with two hospital visits were more likely to grade AA or select. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tradeoff between meat quality and weight enhanced by implants. By comparing carcass grading to production methods, Gruber said researchers learn more about the effects of implants and beta agonists so that their use can be managed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing to do is just to be moderate,â&#x20AC;? said Gruber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can still use growth promotant technologies without being as aggressive as we can be. As producers, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different combinations, different products that we can use to help moderate or balance the benefit that we get from production efficiency without long-term beef demand detriment.â&#x20AC;? Kolk said he manages implant use and feed with the help of a veterinarian and nutritionist and with an eye on packer needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We assess what we do twice a year. We assess it with our veterinarian and nutritionist, and also the plants that we sell to, so we modify them at least twice a year.â&#x20AC;? access=subscriber section=news,none,none

AG RESEARCH | INVESTMENT

Ag research spending should double: Bill Gates Battling malnutrition | Reduced spending on aid, research and development in tough economy considered short-sighted BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — The world needs to at least double its spending on agricultural research if it is to produce reliable crops and improve the lives of the one billion people who battle starvation every day, says Bill Gates. A day before flying to Davos, Switzerland, to meet political and business leaders, the billionaire businessperson and philanthropist said he was concerned the austerity drive in Europe could lead to a fall in foreign aid spending, setting back the fight against poverty, hunger and disease. While acknowledging the difficulties that policy makers in the richer world face at a time of slumping growth, the world’s second wealthiest man said now was the time to invest in research and development. “The big choice is whether the crisis in the rich-country governments will cause them to stop increasing the aid that’s been so key to reducing disease, improving food availability for the poorest, and bringing down the number who suffer from AIDS or malaria or malnutrition,” Gates said. He said it was shocking, shortsighted and potentially dangerous to spend only $3 billion a year to improve the seven most important staple crops on which the poor depend. “The number should easily be double what it is,” Gates said of research spending while underlining there had been an increase in investment by the private sector. “Capitalism always has a challenge that research is not funded as well as it should be,” he said. “That is, that the innovator can’t capture enough of the benefit to society. So they tend to be risk averse, and that’s why basic research, medical basic research, agriculture basic research, has to be funded by governments.” European governments have been among the most generous in providing aid — more than half the world’s aid spending comes from European or EU-level budgets — but there is no guarantee it will go on rising during the economic downturn. Europe’s aim is to raise its aid spending to 0.7 percent of gross domestic product by 2015. Some countries are lagging and nations such as Italy are not best placed to hit the target. That in turn can have a direct impact on improving the lives of the one billion people — 15 percent of the global population — who are living in poverty and hunger. “If you don’t fund $300 a year, you can’t put a person on AIDS drugs. If you don’t buy a bed net, then there’s additional children who die of malaria. If you don’t fund the agricultural system, you leave these billion that wake up every day wondering if they’re going to get enough food,” said Gates. “The benefit of this money is in a league of its own compared to other government spending.” There can also be a payoff in terms of security and cost-saving elsewhere in richer countries’ budgets. Poverty, disease and hunger frequently go hand in hand with political instability and the geopolitical access=subscriber section=news,none,none

insecurity that can foster. “The national security and economic opportunity benefits of helping these countries out is quite significant,” said Gates, who gave up day-to-day running of Microsoft in 2000 and set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with his wife. “It’s a huge cost when you have instability. You’ve got to look at upping defence budgets and the human cost that creates, and so we need to be able to justify this not only on a humanitarian ground, although that alone should be enough. But we need to be

able to tell the story of where it stands in terms of security and economic development as well.”

With a fortune estimated at $56 billion while also heading one of the world’s most generous foundations, Gates straddles the gap between the globe’s super-rich and those battling to survive. “Capitalism has done a fantastic job,” he said. “The state of the world 300 years ago versus where we are today, you’ve got to certainly say that capitalism was one of the elements that came into that : scientific understanding, reduction in violence. “We have some pretty dramatic

understanding that capitalism can provide food and access to information at really phenomenal levels, and that’s why it’s a little disappointing why the equity element has lagged as much as it has,” he said, referring to the fact many basic needs are not being met. “But it’s about tuning societal expectations and aid policies far more than going back to the basic mechanism that inspires people to try new things... Overall those innovations are changing lives at a faster rate today than ever before.”

NEW PRODUCT

Wireless ART Air Seeder Rate and Blockage Monitor

with the new

Evolution of the ART Monitor

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

Use your Google ® Android ® Phone to keep track of our air seeder operation with an ‘App’. (Windows Phone, Apple and Blackberry ‘App’s are in development) No wires to the cab means quicker startups, and no worries about towing the seeder with the monitor harness! The WIRELESS ART works with today’s large single Shoot and Double Shoot seeding systems. Up to 240 runs can be monitored on double shoot systems (separate seed and fertilizer runs).

Em a il: s a s kfa rm s @ s h a w .ca To whom it may concern: This reference is related to my dealing with Doug in the sale of my 160 acres of farm land in the RM of Emerald which encompasses the hamlets of Wishart Sask. and Bankend Sask. Doug, heard my land was for sale and made me an acceptable offer. He then proceeded to follow up on the offer with a proposal to sell the land within 30 days and the proposal was acceptable to my lawyer and me. The land was sold and the deal went through and the money was deposited in my bank. This was all done in a professional and business like manner. Following the transaction Doug called to see if all was well. My experience was certainly satisfactory and as a result I would recommend Doug as a sales person. ~ Henry D.

BEEF CONSUMPTION | TRENDS

Lower meat consumption seen among food trends Social pressures, obesity control may reduce domestic demand BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MISTY MORNING WORK | at the Viterra elevator in Saskatoon Jan. 20. |

WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO

Canadian livestock producers look with enthusiasm to burgeoning markets in Asia and the developing world, where rising incomes are expected to prompt more demand for meat. However, David Hughes, professor emeritus of food marketing with Imperial College in London, England, thinks hopes pinned on emerging markets have as many challenges as opportunities. Nor do global trends favour major market increases in domestic markets or those in developed countries. Hughes, an expert in global food industry issues, told the recent Lethbridge College Tiffin Conference that trends in Canada and developed countries include: â&#x20AC;˘ lower meat consumption as populations age â&#x20AC;˘ reduced consumption of fast food â&#x20AC;˘ increasing social pressures against access=subscriber section=news,none,none

However, he views Canada and the United States as declining markets, where population growth is slow and baby boomers are aging and eating less meat. He said North Americans are likely to gravitate toward lower priced product and more white meats but will be willing to pay a premium for high-end smaller portions of red meat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see this in many, many markets,â&#x20AC;?

Hughes said. Attention to sustainability and environmental protection as it relates to meat production is also a trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just see this catching on around the world.â&#x20AC;? Convenience stores owned by supermarket chains are gaining market share from the super-sized grocery stores. Hughes said consumers are doing fewer big shopping trips and instead buy more on a day-today basis. In England, online ordering is increasing and will make up half of all grocery shopping by 2020. Consumers will place orders from computers or mobile devices and then either pick them up or have them delivered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you buy will depend on how much trust you have in the retailer,â&#x20AC;? said Hughes. Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; statistics show rising pork prices and a major increase in the amount of pork consumed in Asia. That might be a warning call to beef producers, who see their meat as a premium product that should earn premium prices in Asia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in premium meat, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your story? Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have to be a really good story to make people pay more for it,â&#x20AC;? Hughes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a stronger story for Canada.â&#x20AC;? One of those stories could involve traceability and safety because Chinese shoppers in particular are concerned about food safety.

Cargill expands beef storage BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Cargillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beef slaughter plant in High River, Alta., is upgrading its facilities to increase boxed beef storage and use its own waste products to produce electricity. Steve Molitor of Cargill said the plant can store 45,000 boxes of beef but produces 35,000 boxes daily. That has required it to ship and store boxed beef in Calgary. New facilities will be able to store 80,000 more boxes, said Molitor. That will reduce costs in shipping product

to another facility for distribution and reduce fuel consumption in refrigerated trailer units that now sit on site as additional storage. The new facility is expected to be running by April, Molitor said. Cargill is also building a fluidized bed boiler at the plant, which will burn specified risk material, (animal parts believed to be the main vectors for BSE spread), manure and other wastes to produce electricity for plant operations. The High River plant is one of two in Canada and 10 in North America operated by Cargill. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

RESEARCH | SHEEP

Secret to parasite resistance found in African sheep Mapping genome | Identifying traits that increase tolerance to infection can help determine best breeding combinations BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Scientists have discovered genetic resistance to a parasite nematode that infects sheep. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the International Livestock Research Instit u t e ( I L R I ) i n Ke n ya d e t e c t e d quantitative trait loci (QTL) genetic locations on chromosomes for resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites while studying a double-backcross population of African native sheep. The parasites are common in tropical regions and cause significant economic and production losses every year. Infected sheep can suffer from diarrhea, anemia, weight loss, bottle jaw and sometimes death. According to the USDA, researchers mapped the regions of the genome that control resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites in a sheep population bred by ILRI and comprising two breeds. One was Red Maasai, which was tolerant of the parasite, and the other was Dorper, which was susceptible to it. “There is a noticeable difference on average between certain breeds raised in a similar environment,” said USDA geneticist Tad Sonstegard. “ This difference is especially noticeable in more humid, tropical regions between locally adapted sheep and introduced, non-native breeds from more temperate climates. “This difference between breeds to parasite challenge in tropical regions can also be observed in cattle and goats. One could hypothesize that the difference is due to years of natural selection of locally adapted livestock because at several times long ago they were also introduced through human trading from the domestication centres. “Crossbreeding is a short-term solution to improve production and resist parasitic disease in tropical regions however this is not a sustainable solution.” Th e re d s t o ma ch wo r m, a l so known as the wire worm or barber’s pole worm, is a common parasite to ruminant animals. Adult worms feed on the blood, and females may lay more than 10,000 eggs a day, which are then expelled from the animal through feces. After hatching, the larvae molt several times and become infectious to animals when they graze on grass. Once ingested into the stomach, they start the process all over again. The infection in sheep, called Haemonchosis after the parasite’s scientific name Haemonchus contortus, causes significant economic losses for farmers around the world, especially those in warm, humid climates. Anthelminthics are used as a deterrent, but the parasites are developing a resistance against these chemicals. Selecting animals in a breeding program that are more tolerant of infection may be a solution. Researchers started the breeding program 10 years ago to create a resource population for mapping regions of the sheep genome that conaccess=subscriber section=news,none,none

trol resistance to the G1 nematode. “We created a population where we had the grandparents that were either purebred Dorper sheep or purebred Red Maasai,” said Sonstegard. “Six hybrid rams were bred to either Red Maasai ewes or Dorper ewes. The resulting progeny were either three-quarter Red Maasai or three-quarter Dorper. That’s the double-backcross.” They then selected 10 percent of the animals exhibiting the worst of the traits and 10 percent of those showing the best resistance against parasites. From them they genotyped

those animals and looked at the QTL within the families using an analysis that would look for how it was segregating in the sire clan. Researchers were looking for what was inherited from a sire to clarify what was providing a better resistance to the parasite. Blood packedcell volume and fecal egg count, which are indicators of parasites, were collected for three months from more than 1,060 lambs that grazed on parasite-infected pastures. The scientists selected lambs for genotyping based on parasite indicators. They detected significant QTL

for average fecal egg count and packed-cell volume on chromosomes 3, 6, 14 and 22. Studies are continuing and focusing on genotyping the same animals using the OvineSNP50. “With the SNP chip analysis, we can examine 40,000 to 50,000 markers instead of (just) 200,” said Sonstegard. “We are analyzing the same animals using this genotyping platform, which should give a much higher resolution map of the locations affecting parasite tolerance. We would hope to use this information to compare to other African sheep

breeds to find common signatures of natural selection in the genome between breeds. These are the regions that can then be tracked using SNP tools during development of new synthetic breeds that are sustainable in the typical extensive production conditions of a nation with a developing economy.” The aim is to identify some of the genes that can increase tolerance to parasite infection or assess the best genetic combination of Dorper and Red Maasai breeds so that production can be increased and livestock can remain healthy.

TECHNOLOGY | BEEF GRADING

Packers slow to adopt new grading technology

INTERNATIONAL LIVESTOCK CONGRESS | BEEF GRADING

Beef industry must keep pace Inconsistent quality haunts market | Scientists say computerized technology may help STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

D E N V E R , C o l o. — T h e b e e f industry needs continuous improvement, says a meat scientist from Colorado State University. Daryl Tatum told the International Livestock Congress in Denver that quality audits conducted in the United States since 1991 show that beef has improved in some areas, but five year reviews still identify problems with carcass weights and consistency. The first audit said beef was too fat, too tough and too inconsistent to compete with pork and poultry. “There was a strong message to improve the marbling and product quality in that regard,” he said.

The 2005 audit found tenderness, consistency and marbling scores had not changed much in 15 years. The most recent audit is still being analyzed. Tatum said computerized grading technology has also improved beef quality. It has been used in many U.S. plants since 2005 as way to sort cattle. Three years ago, they started combining the computer results with U.S. Department of Agriculture grades. Regional differences in quality grades was a common complaint in t h e 2 0 0 5 a u d i t . In s t r u m e n t s reduced the inconsistenc y of human assessments. “We saw a fairly significant improvement in consistency in application of grades,” Tatum said.

The U.S. grades Prime, Choice and Select are based on marbling scores and yield grade. During the height of the recession in 2008, more Choice grade meat ended up in retail rather than restaurants because people were eating out less. Consumer expectations increased and more retail outlets have moved away from offering Select. However, Derek Vote with beef technical services at JBS Inc. in Greeley, Colorado, said less Choice beef is available as the national herd shrinks, which leaves the U.S. industry looking for a market for Select, the leanest of the categories. JBS produces beef for programs that demand certain grades and aging times. Less than one-third of the beef

that grades Select is considered to have acceptable eating quality. Studies are underway to improve the grade, which may require aging beyond 14 days so it can be offered as an affordable alternative to Choice, said Vote. Increasing carcass weights is another area of concern. A university study conducted from 2008-10 found that 68 percent of cattle fit into the desirable size ranges. However, these were groups of cattle rather than individuals. A large database may estimate each feedlot pen has only two percent heavyweights when in reality half the cattle in a single pen may be oversized. “Are we doing a good job of managing variability? I would say not,” Tatum said.

Canadian beef packing plants have been slower to adopt instrument grading than those in the United States, but limited results show improvements in assessing beef quality. XL Lakeside at Brooks, Alta., is the only plant using the technology as a grading aid so consistency cannot be compared until more companies adopt it, said Cindy Delaloye, manager of the Canadian Beef Grading Agency. “The graders are very happy with it. Their variability has been removed in respect to the marbling assessment,” she said. “No two humans see something exactly the same. If I could get that between plants, I could remove some of the variability among the plants.” Computer vision grading technology allows multiple measurements of yield and quality grade parameters to be made more quickly than would be possible using manual approaches. The computerized cameras take an image, digitize it and produce results on rib eye sizes, quality grades and red meat yield. Canadian cattle typically grade AA or AAA. More than 50 percent achieves AAA and 42 percent grades AA, which has the same marbling requirements as Select. Canada has not had any difficulty selling this grade. Canada Safeway and Real Canadian Superstore offer it, while Costco has a large AAA program and Sobey’s offers Sterling Silver, a highly marbled product. “Every grade has a place in the marketplace, but the people have to know which one they are buying and how to cook it appropr iately,” Delaloye said. Marbling assessments are based on the average amount, size and distribution of fat deposits in the rib eye. A prediction of lean yield is also made when a carcass qualifies for Canada Prime or any of the Canada A grades. Lean yield is not dressing percentage. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

SASKATOON — Saskatchewan beef producers have voted to double the provincial refundable checkoff to $2 per head, hoping to stem a tide of red ink. The checkoff has been $1 since 1987, and raising it would put the province on par with British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick. Those in favour of the resolution put forward at the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association annual gen-

eral meeting said funding research and lobbying government costs money. At least part of the increase is to cover escalating assessments from the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. The assessment has risen from $209,954 in 2004 to an estimated $693,659 in 2012, according to information presented at the meeting. The percentage of the province’s contribution to the CCA budget was 17 in 2004 and an estimated 19.5 percent this year. CCA president Travis Toews said there were a lot of expectations

placed on CCA after BSE was discovered in Canada in 2003. In particular, costs for lobbying and legal advice rose. Past-president Brad Wildeman said Alberta and Saskatchewan carried the load through the years immediately following BSE’s discovery, and there is no doubt some provinces have struggled to meet their assessments. The SCA checkoff collected $2.58 million in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2011. The association also received $4.94 million from the Saskatchewan agriculture ministry,

representing the balance of money accrued when the province administered the levy. “In reality, the checkoff we estimate going forward will be anywhere from $2.2 million to $2.6 million,” said SCA director and finance committee member Bill Jameson. However, he estimated the SCA would be out of money in seven years at the current rate of spending if the checkoff remained $1 per head. The 2011-12 budget projects revenue of $2.3 million and expenses of $2.9 million for a loss of $632,000. About $300,000 is earmarked for access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

industry research and development funding and $1.8 million for national policy and trade advocacy, including the CCA and the national checkoff. One producer asked how much the SCA is losing because of uncollected checkoffs. Jameson said the issue has been identified but not quantified. The committee recently met with agriculture ministry officials to discuss the problem. “We’ve established a game plan for auditing dealers,” Jameson told the meeting. “I think there might be some misunderstanding on what cattle are deemed to need to pay checkoff and which aren’t. There is some slippage. We think it might be in the neighbourhood of 10 to 15 percent, but we’re not sure.” Director David Stuart said there are other ways the association can miss out on collecting checkoffs. For example, more retained ownership means cattle aren’t going through the market several times before heading to the feedlot. He said there are also issues the SCA will have to deal with on behalf of producers, such as animal welfare. “We’re trying to work for the producers and it’s costing us money,” he said. Another producer noted that cattle moving into Alberta from Saskatchewan are already paying $3. In those situations, Alberta Beef Producers sends $1 to the national checkoff, $1 back to Saskatchewan and keeps $1. Agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud, who would ultimately approve a check-off increase after the AgriFood Council passes an authorization order, said the SCA has been asked to do its work with less money. “I’ll certainly look at this,” he said in an interview. “We’re behind Alberta and Manitoba, so I think that also creates the need to be on a level playing field with our neighbouring provinces.” Bjornerud said no producer wants to pay more checkoff, but the SCA represents every producer and requires money to do its job properly. Producers who don’t agree with what the SCA is doing can ask for a refund. As well, all producers have the opportunity for input at the fall district meetings. A resolution that would have limited the SCA to spending 25 percent of its budget on administration and operation was tabled until the next annual meeting. The minister said it was a good sign that some producers questioned how the SCA is operating because it means they want the association to be accountable.

FEED STUDY | MAINTENANCE

Low RFI delivers more for money Cost efficient feed use | Animals with low residual feed intake are more profitable BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Cattle producers have tried to improve animal feed efficiency for years, and for good reason. Fifty-five to 70 percent of a cow-calf operation’s cost of production is associated with feed, bedding and pasture, while 65 to 75 percent of total dietary energy costs in breeding cows are required just for maintenance. Despite attention on improving feed efficiency, some studies show that cattle maintenance requirements have increased rather than decreased, said John Basarab of Alberta Agriculture. “We have done nothing in lowering the maintenance ratio of our cows.” The beef cattle genetics researcher told Lethbridge College’s annual Tiffin Conference Jan. 19 that residual feed intake (RFI) is a better benchmark to obtain feed efficiency gains. RFI is feed intake adjusted for differences in production and body size. Animals with a low RFI eat less but attain the same production, body weight and growth of their high RFI counterparts, Basarab said. Feed costs are reduced in these efficient cattle, but quality and quantity are not compromised. His studies indicate that progeny from a herd of 100 cows bred using RFI efficient bulls can save $2,200 per animal in feed costs over three years. The low RFI trait is 35 to 40 percent heritable, he added. Selecting for the trait is a matter of monitoring bull test results and using low RFI bulls. “Efficient bulls exist. Unfortunately, there’s high demand,” Basarab said. “All the bulls that are tested at Olds College are already grabbed up by Deseret Ranches and Beef Booster.” However, the Simmental, Angus and Hereford breeds are developing initiatives to test bulls for RFI, which will likely help meet future demand. Basarab’s research involved crossbreds, but he said all cattle breeds have potential to improve RFI. Studies have tried to determine how RFI affects other beef characteristics. They found that low RFI cattle produce less heat, which lowers their feed maintenance requirements. They also have 15 to 30 percent lower methane emissions. Low RFI had no effect on bull fertility or carcass quality. On the cow access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

A lot of time has been spent studying feed efficiency, but significantly less time has gone into improving cattle maintenance requirements. This bull was taking its turn at the feeder on the Greaves farm near Deerwood, Man., Jan. 22. | JEANNETTE GREAVES PHOTO side, studies showed no effect on age of puberty, pregnancy rate, calving pattern, calving ease or weaning rates. Low RFI cows had lower calf mortality than those with high RFI. Studies on eight- to 10-month-old replacement heifers showed no measurable weight differences, but low RFI animals lost less body fat when put on swath grazing over winter as they matured. “Those efficient cattle are more adaptable. They’re less stress susceptible,” said Basarab. His studies show that selection for low RFI will: • have no effect on growth body size or slaughter weight • improve feed to gain ratio by 10 to 15 percent • reduce net energy required for maintenance • reduce methane production by 20 to 30 percent • have no effect on carcass yield and quality grade • have a positive effect on body fatness A low RFI could mean a feed cost savings of five to 10 cents per day in feeder cattle and eight to 15 cents per day for cows. Though feed cost savings are perhaps the most exciting part the research, Basarab said the methane reduction seen in low RFI cattle is also significant because of concerns about greenhouse gas production. “It could become a trade barrier,” he said. “There has been pressure from a carbon footprint environmental sustainability (standpoint) from importing beef from Brazil. Brazil has a very high carbon footprint, around 36 kilograms of CO2 per kilogram of beef produced.” Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions from beef production is far lower, he added. It is half that of Japan, and Brazil’s rate is higher than Japan’s. “The other thing about it is reducing greenhouse gases means improved efficiency, so it s a win-win,” Basarab

said. “Also, within Alberta, we’re the only jurisdiction almost within North America where you can buy and sell carbon credits in agricul-

ture. There already is a GHG protocol on residual feed intake. You could get extra dollars, not many, but extra dollars.”

A proven reduction in greenhouse gas emissions could also improve the image of beef cattle production, he said.

SCOURS | PREVENTION, TREATMENT

Colostrum, vaccination program best prevention for scours ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

e all know the important role that adequate colostrum intake plays in preventing neonatal enteric diseases and respiratory and other pathogens in a calf’s life. Colostrum is the epitome of a nutraceutical: a nutritional supplement acting as a therapeutic agent. Vaccination of the dam before colostrum develops in its udder will enhance the protection against diseases as long as the colostrum is taken in time and of adequate quantity and quality. We strive for 1.5 to two litres in the first six hours of life. It should be supplemented in the case of twins, bad udders, lack of colostrom or if there is any other reason to believe the calf has not received adequate amounts. Our clinic used to supply frozen colostrum from well managed dairies that implemented a scours vaccination program. Good commercial dried colostrum products are also available. Vaccination is not an excuse to stop using other sound management practices such as calving in a new area, cleaning out the manure from last year and allowing it to dry, and using creep areas where calves can escape the weather or stress of the herd. New and improved We have come a long way since the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization developed the first scours vaccine, Vicogen, in the early 1980s. It offered protection against E. coli. Newer scours vaccinations have seen several developmental changes since then. Vaccines were developed for the rota and corona viruses and then more strains were added, clostridium perfringens being the most recent. Newer adjuvants allow for a longer development of immunity, which means vaccines can be given much earlier for longer-lasting protection. It’s no longer necessary to rebooster the last fifth of the herd if calving becomes spread out. Vaccinating at least four weeks before calving allows an adequate immune response from the cow in time to produce colostrum. Immunoglobulins, which are proteins that offer protection against disease, begin concentrating in the udder five weeks before birth, which is why you want to vaccinate before this time. The vaccines now on the market have subtle differences, such as syringability, dose size and route of administration. For example, only one is approved for subcutaneous use. Vaccination for scours is an excellent biosecurity measure — a management tool in a bottle. As with all vaccination programs, other preventive measures cannot be ignored. All diseases emerge from access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

a combination of the number of organisms present, the immune status and stress on the calf. Stress comes in the form of inclement weather, overcrowding, a concurrent disease or a hyper mother. Calves will get sick if the concentration of infectious organisms becomes too high, no matter how good a farm’s vaccination history, so preventing the first case is critical. One sick calf can spread millions of organisms in a short period of time. Keeping the first case separate from other calves is important. The use of disinfectants in boot dips and changing coveralls goes a long way to minimizing spread. I insist on different esophageal

feeders for sick calves because tubing can easily spread organisms from one calf to another. When treating several sick calves, disinfect the feeder between calves because it is foolhardy to transmit more organisms to an already compromised calf. Immune status starts by insuring the colostrum the calf receives is of the highest quality. Good dam nutrition leading up to calving, including trace minerals and vitamins such as vitamin E and selenium, help ensure the birth of a lively calf and the consumption of good quality colostrum. A scours vaccination program greatly improves protection against scours and is an important man-

agement tool. S ma l l e r h e rd s s h o u l d n o t b e exempt from vaccinating. Cows may be fatter and have more calving issues, which stresses the newborns and leads to scours. Likewise, the large late calving herds of the May-July fall calving season are also susceptible to scours, even though cows calve on grass and are spread out with little contact with each other. That’s because it is difficult to monitor colostrum consumption when the cows and calves are out in the pasture. As well, hyperthermia is a major stressor in hot weather. Dehydration occurs faster because daily fluid needs rise this time of year. Days-old

calves are susceptible to hyperthermia, and scours can be the result. Clinical cases are not seen as fast and more deaths result. Most mixed animal practices on the Prairies used to have space dedicated to isolation or scour wards. The advent of scours vaccination, when combined with better management, has meant most of these scour wards sit vacant. This is a great testimony to how far veterinarians, producers and pharmaceutical companies have come in preventing this dreaded economic disease. Roy Lewis is a veterinarian practising in Westlock, Alta.

MARKETS | PRICE VERSUS COSTS

Ranching more fun when cattle price puts profit into pants COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

Making money to save for a rainy day makes work feel less like work

he past year had its ups and downs, but luckily for the family, one of the ups has

been the cattle market. Having just sold last year’s calves and having close to 20 years of cattle markets to compare since I came back to the ranch after college, I can say I much prefer selling into an up market than a down market. Watching the markets is a nerve wracking pastime. When the market is going up, you wonder when it will start going down. When the market is down, you wonder if it will ever start moving back up. If you sell your calves or your corn or your baseball cards when it’s down, you kick yourself for not selling before it went down or for not waiting longer in case it would move back up.

If you sell when they’re up, you question whether you got enough of the up. My watching of the calf market is a little less intense as of last week, when our calves got on the truck and went down the road. A guy hates to admit it sometimes, but I’m pretty darn satisfied with the price this year. D o n ’ t g e t m e w ro n g , I’ m n o t apologizing for the price. Once I paid the feed bill, ordered another load of diesel and settled up the operating note and the tractor payment, I figured the good price was justified. It felt good to pay the bills and have a chunk left over to head into the next

year. It’s nice to be ahead of the game. I remember lots of years when that wasn’t the case. I distinctly remember the 62 cent steers and 56 cent heifers I sold a couple years after I borrowed the money to buy my cows in the mid1990s. They were maybe 550 pounds and didn’t generate many dollars for a highly leveraged young guy just starting out. So now we need to make it last. We basically get one cheque, and aside from some cull cows and off-farm income from writing these lucrative columns and such, it has to get us through an entire year. But with this year’s prices, I think we can do it. Every family gets to go through the access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

exercise of making ends meet, whether the paycheque comes once a year or once a month. Sometimes, it’s like the poster I saw years ago: “Just when I made ends meet, somebody moved the ends.” The wages might go up, but the apartment rent goes up more. Health insurance, day care, the car payment, it all has to come from somewhere and balance out. There is satisfaction when the credits and debits come together. Head out the door to work each morning, come home to your family in the evening and know that the sweat or the skill you traded for the day’s dollars put supper on the table for the family. I tried to explain to our kids when we got the cattle cheque how this all works. I told them there might even be enough to put a little away so they could go to college someday. The five-year-old told me college was too expensive; he’d rather we buy a toy instead. He was right about college being expensive, and realizing that at the age of five probably means he might do well in college someday, but his cuteness and cleverness wouldn’t get me to invest his future in a junky plastic toy today. Here’s hoping the cattle markets, and paycheques up and down the line, are high enough to even consider putting something away for college. Soon enough, the little beneficiaries will learn it’s a better investment than toys and games. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

SASKATOON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture will begin testing March 5 for six E. coli strains that aren’t 0157:H7 serotypes. The agency announced last fall it would begin testing for 026, 0103, 045, 0111, 0121 and 0145. Raw ground beef, its components and tenderized steaks that test positive for these strains will not be sold for public consumption. The Centre for Disease Control says these strains are responsible for more than 100,000 food-borne illnesses each year. Steve Kay, editor and publisher of Cattle Buyers Weekly, said recently the USDA has estimated the cost of the testing program at $10 million, but the industry has pegged it at $173 to $323 million. He said there are questions about how long the product will be held after testing because technology hasn’t been developed to do rapid testing. The meat would have to be held longer and therefore have a shorter shelf life, he said. As well, he said there is the possibility of trade action by Canada, Australia and New Zealand. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Foreign workers | Alberta commodity groups and government hope to speed hiring process BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — Farmers who try to hire foreign labourers through Canadian immigration often become entangled in red tape. Alberta commodity groups have been working with the provincial and federal governments to streamline the process but it might take up to six months to meet changing requirements and paperwork. Todd Eastman, a beekeeper from Clyde, Alta., started the process last September to hire Filipinos, many of whom worked at his northern Alberta apiary before on a seasonal basis. As of Jan. 25, he was still waiting for work permits to be approved in the embassy in Manila, but he needs his staff to start work Feb. 1. “I am probably looking at another six weeks for them to come,” he said. While it is fairly easy to hire staff from Mexico, the Caribbean and British Commonwealth countries, it is more challenging to deal with the Philippines. Part of the slowdown starts in Manila, where paperwork can take up to four months because of the high worldwide demand for work permits for Filipinos. Eastman hires Filipinos because

they owned hives at home and speak English well. The initial step in the process is to request a labour market opinion (LMO) from Service Canada so that the job is first offered to Canadians. If the LMO finds no Canadians want the job, applications are forwarded to Immigration Canada. “The big reality is nobody really wants to work in agriculture. It is a tough sell,” said Mark Chambers with Sunterra Farms. Canada’s unemployment rate as of Jan. 6 was 7.5 percent, while the rate in Alberta is around five percent. It’s been government policy since 2008 that Canadians should get first chance at jobs. “Even with the increase in unemployment rates, we were still having trouble getting workers,” Chambers said. “Agriculture is not really perceived as a career. We do a poor job of promoting it.” Eastman said the labour shortage was so serious in 2006-2007 that it drastically affected his family owned apiary. The farm would not have grown as it has in the last five years without his Filipino staff, he added. “They call it the Alberta advantage, but for agriculture it is almost the Alberta disadvantage because there are a lot of other sectors, especially in

the rural areas, that draw out the workers into the oil and gas industry or pipeline work,” Eastman said. Farm leaders have been meeting with Service Canada to streamline the process by writing specific job descriptions for skilled and unskilled workers, as well as established wage grids. In some cases, said Chambers, the government demanded higher wages than sectors could afford. The wage grid may indicate that a worker is paid $13 per hour, but the employer must also provide housing, pay the return flight and provide benefits like private health insurance. “In reality it is a $19 to $20 per hour burden on the company and we continue to demonstrate that Canadians don’t want these jobs so they force us to use temporary foreign workers to help supplement the work shortages,” Eastman said. A new federal immigration policy p a s s e d l a s t Ap r i l a d d e d m o re demands that employers are still trying to understand. At the same time, the government is scrutinizing the entire process to ensure the workers are needed and treated fairly. Seasonal workers may stay in Canada for only a specified time, even if they could find work with another farm. Job sharing sounds feasible but

current policies make it difficult. “As soon as another employer wants to share an employee, we have to go through the whole process again,” said Eastman. “Before that employee can come work for you, you have to demonstrate for a two week advertising period that no Canadians are available for this job and you have to apply for labour market opinions.” They must also change the work permit conditions with Immigration Canada in Vegreville, Alta. “Right now it is almost impossible to share,” he said. Alberta Agriculture and commodity groups have conducted a study to assess the province’s farm labour needs. The survey report will completed in March and be used to help guide labour needs and programming in Alberta, said Al Dooley of Alberta Agriculture. Statistics Canada reports 306,200 people are employed in Canada’s agricultural sector, while 50,000 of Alberta’s 2.1 million employed people were involved in that sector in the last quarter of 2011. Citizenship and Immigration Canada reported 182,000 temporary foreign workers arrived in the country last year, which included nearly 24,000 seasonal agricultural workers.

TAX REDUCTION | DIVIDENDS

Shareholder loan account makes a good retirement tool FARM ACCOUNTS

ALLYN TASTAD

Making deposits into your shareholder account at a low tax rate can save thousands of dollars in the future

arming corporations have been a growing phenomenon on the Prairies. Lured by the low corporate tax rate on the first $500,000 of taxable farming income, farmers have been quick to transfer machinery, equipment and commodity ownership to a corporate entity while keeping their farmland in their personal names. The farming company captures all income and expenditures relating to the farm business. To compensate for the use of the personally held farmland, the company pays the farmer and his spouse rental payments equal to the interest paid on any farmland loans plus the

municipal property tax expense. When the couple decides to retire, the retirement plan is three-fold: • the last harvested crop, hopefully a big one, is sold within the farming company • the farmland will be sold to a third party, which will allow for the retiring couple to each claim their respective $750,000 capital gains exemption • while the shares of the farming company could also be sold outright, it is probably more likely that an auctioneer will be called in to disperse all of the remaining machinery, equipment and moveable bins.

Tax consequences • because farmers use the cash method to report income for tax purposes, the cash receipts from the sale of the last harvested crop will have to be included in the farm company’s income for tax purposes • the sale of farmland will be largely tax-free because of the farmers’ available capital gains exemption • there could be additional costs associated with the sale of the farmland, specifically the Old Age Security claw back and Alternative Minimum Taxes at the federal and provincial levels • the auction sale will trigger “recap-

ture,” which is the amount by which the auction sale proceeds exceed the remaining pooled tax value or undepreciated capital cost allowance. This recapture is included in the farm company’s income for tax purposes. In short, the farming company’s income will be at record levels. There will be no offsetting input costs because they would have been deducted in the previous year. So we are left with sale proceeds in the company that have to be paid out to the shareholders as dividends or salaries at high tax rates. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

In my experience, these “catchup” management salaries or bonuses result in some regret as to why more remuneration wasn’t paid out of the farming company in the earlier years. For example, if the farming company paid a final dividend of $500,000, then the tax bill would be $125,000. Let’s assume this same farmer had recorded a $50,000 dividend in each of the 10 years before his retirement. The annual tax would be approxi-

mately $3,300, and the dividend would accumulate each year in his shareholder loan account. After 10 years, the shareholder loan account would be $500,000 and the total tax paid $33,000. Contrasting this to the previous example, the total tax savings is $92,000, which is significant tax savings generated by simply using up the lower individual tax brackets that are available. Farmers, not unlike other business owners, have a strong aversion to taxes of any kind. This aside, the lower individual tax rates are available only once. They

It’s the canola herbicide you’ve been wishing for.

It’s no wonder farmers are just itching to get their hands on this. New ARES™ herbicide is an integral part of the enhanced Clearﬁeld® Production System for canola. It controls all the weeds other systems get plus the ones they don’t, including tough weeds like lamb’s quarters, wild buckwheat and cleavers. And with its user-friendly, liquid formulation, it’s bound to be on most canola farmers’ wish lists this year. Visit your BASF retailer or agsolutions.ca/ARES for more details.

top $2.6 billion. Kubota Corp. president Yasuo Masumoto said he hoped a decision on the deal would be reached by autumn, adding this was one of several possible acquisition targets. “Despite the financial crisis, agriculture, unlike other industries, is doing well,” he said. Kubota’s overtures abroad are the latest sign that Japanese companies are looking overseas for ways to expand beyond a stagnant home market and take advantage of the yen’s near historical highs against the U.S. dollar and euro. Japanese mergers and acquisitions increased by more than a third last year to $181 billion, the most since 2005, with much of that rise due to companies seeking acquisitions overseas. Kubota, valued at $11.5 billion, aims to generate 70 to 80 percent of its sales overseas within five years, Masumoto said. It is now below 50 percent. The company is looking to boost sales overseas, particularly of equipment for wheat production, gaining from its experience in building machinery for rice planting and harvesting in Japan. Analysts said Kubota, which began as a foundry in 1890, wants to extend its business in Europe, Africa and Latin America. Based on the size of the deal signaled by Masumoto, they said closely held European tractor makers Same Deutz-Fahr and Claas Group could be among potential targets. German farm machinery maker Claas had sales of $4.28 billion last year, predominantly in Europe. Founded in Italy, Same Deutz-Fahr’s brands include Lamborghini tractors. In Latin America, Kubota may be eyeing up brands owned by bigger rivals such as Deere & Co, CNH Global NV and Agco Corp., the analysts said. Agco last month completed its $928 million acquisition of grain storage systems maker GSI Holdings. “It clearly makes sense for these guys (Kubota) to do more business overseas, and if they can grow through M&A, I think the market would see that as possibly a good move,” said Graeme McDonald, an analyst at Citigroup Global Markets in Tokyo. Kubota said last month it would buy Norwegian farm machinery maker Kverneland through a public offer. By Jan. 20, it had acquired 79 percent of the company’s shares for $219 million. As of the end of September, Kubota had net cash of around $1.1 billion, according to its latest quarterly filing. There is grow ing pressure to increase mechanization in farming in the world’s emerging economies, with the global population expected to balloon 30 percent by 2050, doubling the planet’s food needs. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao this month urged his nation’s farms to modernize to ensure supply kept up with demand.

B.C. fruit growers struggle with recovery strategies Revenues good for cherries, bad for apples | New BCFGA president vows to get money into producer hands BY TERRY EDWARDS FREELANCE WRITER

KELOWNA, B.C. — The outgoing president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association stressed the positive in his final report to members. It’s a message some orchardists are finding difficult to embrace. “The past three years, while more profitable for cherries and other tree fruits, have been most challenging for the apple industry,” Joe Sardinha said in Kelowna Jan. 27. Average returns to growers for apples in 2008, 2009 and 2010 were 15.3 cents per pound, while the cost of production is estimated at 22.6 cents per lb. “Absent is the cyclical nature of our business, where brief downturns were met with strong recovery years,” Sardinha said. “Needless to say, the current suite of business risk programs, poorly designed to deal with prolonged downturns, have not provided tangible financial relief for growers as losses have continued to accumulate.” Sardinha admitted that the BCFGA executive has struggled with the question of how the industry can recover. Provincial agriculture minister Don McRae had little good news to offer growers except for money to improve packing house infrastructure. The association suggested last year in a Tree Fruit Industry Task Force report that government money be used to buy property where packing houses owned by the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative have closed or will be closing. The idea was rejected. The report also recommended: • modernizing packing plant and cold storage infrastructure to reduce costs • supporting a new replant program • allocating money to the Tree Fruit Industry Development Fund • promoting health benefits of fresh fruit • supporting export opportunities • assisting small lot producers • modernizing the Water Act and developing a new Water Sustainability Act • reviewing the effect of the carbon tax on producers • minimizing regulatory burden for pest management products • determining if the Columbia River Treaty 2014 review process could benefit agriculture. “There was discussion of a replant program and the renewal of a tree fruit industry development plan,” McRae said. “These are both areas I believe have many possibilities. While I don’t have the dollars today, I will work very hard in my ministry to see if this can be explored. We need to make sure that the industry is supported.” The national Apple Working Group and the provincial fruit growers association propose establishing a national apple research and promotion agency that would be funded by a levy on apple production. Delegates voted in favour of supporting a provincial Apple Research and Promotion Agency. The association also demanded that the province support agriculture sectors affected by the Columbia River Treaty. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The treaty, signed in 1964, controls water flow of the Columbia River from B.C. to Washington state’s Columbia Basin and resulted in massive expansion of tree fruit and vegetable production in Washington. Since 2014 is the first date that a 10-year notice to cancel or change the treaty can be issued, the province has initiated a review process to study the treaty’s possible continuation, renegotiation or termination. “ This review may provide an opportunity to develop a new provincial revenue stream that could be

used to provide support to B.C. agriculture,” said the Tree Fruit Industry Working Group report.

The fruit growers association suggested that $9.25 million of the total annual treaty funds ($200 to $300

million) be invested in the tree fruit, potato and vegetable sectors affected by the treaty. Newly elected president Kirpal Boparai said his first priority is to get money into the pockets of growers. “The growers are working very hard and the last few years the funds haven’t been there. I want to make sure I do some research and see how we get those funds.” The association’s budget showed a loss of $38,215 last year and is projecting a $17,800 loss this year. The president’s annual honorarium was halved from $20,000 to $10,000.

JUVENILE ARTHRITIS FACTS

Researchers shed new light on juvenile arthritis

Juvenile arthritis is one of the most common childhood diseases.

Models developed | The relationship between physical activity and pain was examined

• Damage to joint cartilage and bone leading to joint deformity and impaired use

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Collaborative research into juvenile arthritis is shedding new light on traditional beliefs about the disease. Susan Tupper and Tracey WilsonGerwing of the University of Saskatchewan pediatrics department are combining their research to help children with arthritis manage their pain. From their studies, other researchers will have tools to develop treatments for the disease. The two were recently recognized at the Canadian Arthritis Network annual scientific conference in Quebec City. The U of S pediatrics department won two of the four categories for poster presentations at the conference, where more than 170 abstracts from across Canada were presented. While the majority of posters related to adult rheumatology, both of these projects focus on the childhood form of the disease. About one in 1,000 children has arthritis. Studies show there’s a higher prevalence of the disease and chronic pain conditions among girls compared to boys. Tupper tracked changes in juvenile arthritis patients’ pain throughout the day and assessed how it is affected by different levels of physical activity. Wilson-Gerwing has developed the first-ever model for the study of juvenile arthritis and pediatric inflammatory pain caused by arthritis. Tupper won the clinical health services category for her study examining how pain changes during the day for juvenile arthritis patients. Her research also looked for the relationship between pain and physical activity as well as pain and mood. “Generally for boys and girls, pain tends to be worse in the morning. It drops down in the afternoon for both. For girls, it goes back up in the evening but for boys, it keeps on dropping throughout the day,” she said. Tupper collaborated with researchers in the department of computer science at the university to develop an electronic pain diary for the IPod Touch. A group of 32 children eight to 17 years of age and suffering with arthritis or chronic pain were enrolled from rural and urban Saskatchewan. Seven times a day over four days, an alarm would sound reminding the children to answer a series of questions. The children’s reports of their pain and mood were captured on the IPod.

Participants’ physical activity was also monitored by motion sensors. The study showed pain increased with too much or too little activity. That relationship between activity and pain was an important area to study, Tupper says. “I looked at how sedentary they were. If they were sitting around quite a bit, they tended to have more pain. If they were vigorously active, they also had more pain. When they were lightly active, they tended to feel a little bit better,” she said. Tupper said children with arthritis and chronic pain are getting even less activity than the normal population. “They tend to be an extremely sedentary group. We w a nt t o re c o m m e n d physical activity for them but it’s painful for them. The more physically active they are over the long run, the healthier they are, the better bone health they have, the stronger their muscles are and they have less pain when they are more physically active.” The results from her study may help youth cope with arthritis by allowing them to plan activities to coincide with times when their pain should be lower. Wilson-Gerwing won the inflammation and immunology category. Her study demonstrates that juveniles and adults respond differently to arthritis. “Until now, basic science research into arthritis interventions have treated children and adults with arthritis the same,” she said. “Children are still growing and active. Adults have a different set of issues surrounding their arthritis and they tend to be a little bit less active,” she says. By inducing arthritis in rodents, Wilson-Gerwing found differences by age groups and in how much bone is affected and how much pain and swelling they have. “It was quite shocking to see the differences between what happens in an adult (animal) and what happened in these younger animals,” she said. Her work provides a model for testing the effectiveness of arthritis treatments in juveniles. It has implications for how juvenile arthritis is treated and how young patients will manage their pain.

Symptoms: • Pain, swelling, tenderness and stiffness of joints, causing limited range of motion • Joint shortening, which results from holding a painful joint in a flexed position for an extended period

• Altered growth of bone and joints, which can lead to a short stature Cause • The cause of most forms of juvenile arthritis is unknown, but it is not contagious and there is no evidence that foods, toxins, allergies or vitamin deficiencies play a role. Diagnosis • There is no single test to diagnose juvenile arthritis. A diagnosis is based on a complete medical history and careful medical examination. Evaluation by a pediatric rheumatologist is often required. • Blood and urine tests are often needed to assist in diagnosis.

• X-rays or magnetic resonance images may be needed to check for signs of joint or organ involvement. Managing juvenile arthritis • The primary treatment goals are to control swelling, relieve pain, prevent joint damage and maximize functional abilities.

• Treatment plans include medication, physical activity, physical therapy, education, eye care, dental care and proper nutrition. • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first line of medication used to help control pain and inflammation. Anti-rheumatic drugs such as methotrexate are often used in conjunction with NSAIDs to reduce the risk of bone and cartilage damage. •

Corticosteroids such as prednisone can relieve inflammation.

ON THE FARM | GRAIN OPERATION

Family farm focuses on revenue, niche crops Adopting a different approach | Advantages and challenges running a 2,000 acre operation in Saskatchewan BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HERS CHEL , Sask.— Tim and Lavonne Wiens are bucking the bigger-is-better trend in agriculture. The couple operates a 2,000 acre grain farm near Herschel, Sask., surrounded by a Hutterite colony, a large corporate farm and other big operations. “We’re one little bird in a great big flock here,” said Tim. That necessitates a different approach to the business. “Because I’m a small farmer, I have to maximize returns from all my acres,” he said. Larger farms use economies of scale to reduce their per acre costs. The Wiens farm focuses on the revenue side of the business by producing niche crops wherever possible. All of the canola planted on the farm is specialty canola. The couple has also been growing rapeseed for the past 15 years. They receive a price premium for both crops. Ti m s a i d t h e re i s m o re w o rk involved in growing identity preserved crops but it isn’t too onerous. And he likes some of the provisions in the contracts like on-farm pickup and act of God clauses. They also grow wheat and large green lentils and are considering getting into peas and malt barley production this spring. Lavonne is happy the farm has downsized from the days when it was a 3,000 to 4,000 acre operation. They are no longer renting land. It is owned by them or Tim’s mother. “I like that we’ve cut back. It’s not quite so stressed,” she said. “I know we can make it with 2,000 acres. We do very well for what we have.” Tim said the farm has benefited from good succession planning, low debt levels and lessons learned in the 1980s and 1990s when grain prices were depressed. “The margins were thin and we really learned to have sharp pencils then,” he said. There are some challenges running a small operation. It’s tough to find a 300 h.p. tractor, a small air drill equipped with the latest technology or a combine the size he needs. “On the other side, at harvest time we can rest easy knowing that I don’t have 20,000 acres that are going to be

rained on tonight.” Tim grew up in the Herschel area. His dad bought the land where their home is situated in the mid-1970s. He moved to Winnipeg after completing an electronics course and got a job with CTV working in the mobile electronics truck where he spent weekends helping broadcast Winnipeg Jets and Blue Bombers games. In his spare time, he would go on motorbike rides with his buddies throughout rural Manitoba. “I was the guy in the back saying, ‘oh, that’s a nice crop,’” he said. The call of the land got the better of him and in 1984, he started part-time farming with his dad and going to school. By 1988, he had his diploma from the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Agriculture. He met Lavonne in Saskatoon. The couple married in 1988 and had three boys who are now 18, 20 and 22 and have all left home. Lavonne grew up on a tiny mixed farm near Cudworth, Sask., with five brothers and four sisters. “There were lots of boys, and girls weren’t allowed to participate (in the farm) at that time,” she said. Times have changed. Lavonne has a certificate in agricultural production from the University of Saskatchewan, operates the sprayer, drives the combine and is starting to do the books. And there is one other job she does. “I’m the president of the company,” she said. That throws bankers for a loop. They tend to push papers in Tim’s direction for a signature and he has to inform them that he’s only the secretary of the company. Tim has another title. He has been a director of the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission for the past eight years. It has allowed him to see another side of the business, one involving trade barriers, genetically modified crop submissions, variety development and market promotion. One of his favorite experiences as a director has been attending the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, an event that attracts 300,000 visitors a year. Tim loves manning the commission’s booth at the show. “It really gives us an opportunity to talk to our customer, which is the person who walks into the grocery store in downtown Toronto and says, ‘I need a vegetable oil. What am I going to pick?’”

UNITED NATIONS | SMALL FARMERS

Closing gender gap seen key in food security fight and improving quality of life Reducing poverty in Third World | Food security strategy focuses on production groups helping small farmers LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — A policy aimed at ensuring future security of food supplies must centre around the world’s 500 million small producers, many of whom are women who farm less than five acres of land, said a United Nations official. “Unless they are at the centre of the future strategies for food security, we will not get it right,” said David Nabarro, the UN Secretary-General’s special representative for Food Security and Nutrition. Nabarro said the food security chal-

lenge was about ensuring access as well as expanding production over the coming years. “Our main concern right now is with the very unequal access to the food, which is already being produced. Although there is enough food to go around right now, over 900 million people are chronically hungry,” he said at an event organized to coincide with a Chatham House conference on Food Security. Ann Tutwiler, deputy directorgeneral (for knowledge) at the UN’s

Food and Agriculture Organization, told the conference that improving the productivity of women farmers was a key goal. She said that studies in Burkina Faso showed women small farmers had access to fewer inputs such as fertilizers, resulting in an average drop in yields for sorghum, for example, of 41 percent. “If we narrow that (gender) gap, we can help more than 100 million people out of poverty and hunger,” said Shenggen Fan of the International

Food Policy Research Institute. Fan said about two billion people were affected by “hidden hunger” because they don’t get the micronutrients they need. This can damage health and mental development. “Business as usual is not enough. New technologies are needed and they have to be smallholder friendly, environmentally friendly and gender friendly,” he said. UN’s Nabarro said small farmers were “the most important actors” in determining the ways in which water,

land and energy were available for future generations. “They can prove to be very effective as custodians of the environment. They can also, if they are not helped, have a negative impact on the environment,” he said. Nabarro said small farmers were able to improve production if they are helped to organize into groups such as co-operatives. Michael Nkonu of Fairtrade Africa said investment in production organizations was a key priority. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

into the topic, uncovering the history of assimilation and physical, sexual and emotional abuse. The student was appalled, said Smith. “History for many students is a pretty boring subject and I guess I found out pretty quickly that it’s not boring if you bring out the stuff that’s never been taught before,” she said. The 63 words in the textbook weren’t enough but before she could address this in the classroom, the well travelled history and native studies teacher from Allan, Sask., had to go back to school herself. “The invisibility of indigenous people, coming from that sort of farming background where it’s pretty European-Canadian, it didn’t hit the radar,” said Smith. “I was terribly embarrassed. I couldn’t believe that I could’ve missed this. I know my family didn’t tell me much, but neither did my teachers and neither did my university.” With that impetus, Smith, with guidance from University of Regina faculty where she’s doing graduate work, set about creating Project of Heart, a hands-on and interactive education toolkit designed to engage students “in a deeper exploration of indigenous traditions in Canada and the history of Indian residential schools.” It’s a project for which Smith was awarded the 2011 Governor General’s History Award for Excellence in Teaching in December. Educational resources already exist, such as the Treaty Kit that looks at the treaty relationship between First Nations and Canada, but Smith’s project specifically addresses residential schools, combining several disciplines and connecting students/participants with the Aboriginal community. Participants learn more about residential schools before conducting further research into a specific school. There’s also an art component involving small wooden tiles. Elders or survivors are also active participants, interacting with the group. Since undertaking the project in 2007, more than 50 schools and community groups across the country have taken part. The project was also featured at an event held by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. “It is hoped that POH will impact on the hearts and minds of those who know little about the devastating effect of the residential school experience on generations of people and will move us from knowledge to action,” according to the Project of Heart website. “It really resonated w ith me, because I realized how ignorant I was,” said Smith. “I’ve been teaching history for 20 years and I didn’t know any of this stuff.”

HAWAIIAN FLAVOURS | COCONUT, PINEAPPLE

Enjoy tropical flavours after vacation is just a memory TEAM RESOURCES

JODIE MIROSOVSKY, BSHEc

ur lives are bombarded by full schedules and to-do lists. We are quick to fill in any holes in the agendas of our lives, instead of just having down time. To slow down and relax, our family rang in the new year on vacation in Maui. It was wonderful waking up to a day with no plans other than casual visits, snorkelling, a swim in the ocean and the odd cocktail. We did not feel guilty about spending time in the lounge chairs, sleeping in or reading a book. The flower scented moist air and consistent temperatures make tropical vacations heaven, but our prairie winters do offer the most vivid and colourful sunsets and a snowy wonderland. My daughter, Jada, noted that while Hawaiian children can build sand castles all year, they can’t build a snow man or make snow angels. We all agree that getting away was worth every penny. There are some wonderful things that we brought home, including new food experiences. One restaurant catering to tourists combined flavours of the islands with typical North American fare. Sauced meats, combined with unlimited fresh fruit and spicy side dishes, made dining fun and colourful.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN BAKE This sweet sauce makes a familiar chicken dish exciting. Serve with fruit juice laced club soda or lemonade and fresh fruit kabobs. 4 to 6 2 tbsp. 2 tbsp. 1 c. 1 c. 1/2 c. 1 tbsp. 1 tsp. 1/4 tsp.

boneless chicken breasts cornstarch 30 mL cold water 30 mL sugar 250 mL soya sauce 250 mL vinegar 125 mL honey 15 mL ground ginger 5 mL garlic 1 mL seasoning/powder or fresh chopped 1/2 tsp. black pepper 2 mL

In a saucepan, combine the cornstarch, water, sugar, soya sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic and pepper. Simmer until the mixture bubbles and the sauce thickens. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Place chicken pieces in a nine x 13 inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until juices run clear. Serve in a fresh bun as a burger dressed with lettuce and mayonnaise or alone with side dishes. This dish can also be prepared in the slow cooker. Prepare the sauce as above, place the chicken in the crock pot, pour sauce over the meat and cook on low for about seven hours or on high for four hours. Serves four.

SPICY POTATO WEDGES This side dish is a great accompaniment to the above chicken dish.

4 large russet potatoes 1/4 c. olive or vegetable 60 mL oil 2 tsp. paprika 10 mL 2 tsp. chili powder 10 mL 1 tsp. seasoning salt 5 mL Cut potatoes into wedges either peeled or with skin. In a small mixing bowl, combine the oil and spices. Coat the potato wedges with the oil mixture and place on a baking pan for 30 to 35 minutes at 400 F (200 C). Sprinkle with salt, pepper and additional seasoning salt when complete. Serve with condiments of your choice. Serves four.

PINEAPPLE ANGEL CAKE Pineapple, once considered an exotic fruit, symbolizes hospitality. Native to South America, not Hawaii, the pineapple was introduced to the islands by captain James Cook in the mid-1700s. Cultivation of the fruit was established in the 1880s and James Dole began canning pineapple in 1903, which by 1921 was Hawaii’s largest industry. The state now only produces about 10 percent of the world’s pineapple. To experience the refreshing flavour of fresh or canned pineapple, try this light, delicious dessert. 1 angel food cake mix 1 20 oz. can crushed 567 g pineapple with the juice whipped topping Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix with the pineapple. Beat on low for one minute until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into a tube pan, cut the batter with a knife and bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Turn the pan upside down to cool so that it does not fall.

It can also be baked in a prepared nine x 13 inch (22 x 33 cm) pan. The baking time may be reduced to 25 to 30 minutes. When cool, top with whipped topping and garnish with sliced strawberries or fresh pineapple. Source: homecooking.about.com, weightwatchers.ca.

OATMEAL COCONUT COOKIES 1 c. butter or 250 mL margarine 1 c. sugar 250 mL 1 c. brown sugar, 250 mL packed firmly 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 5 mL 1 1/2 c. flour 375 mL 1 tsp. baking soda 5 mL 1 tsp. baking powder 5 mL pinch of salt 2 c. oats 500 mL 2 c. rice cereal 500 mL 1 c. shredded coconut 250 mL 1 c. finely chopped 250 mL nuts, such as macadamia or pecans, optional 1/2 c. chocolate chips, 125 mL, optional Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).

IS COCONUT A NUT OR A FRUIT? • The most accepted theory is that coconut is classified as a dry drupe. A drupe is a fruit with a hard stony covering enclosing the seed, like a peach or olive. • While it is possible to be allergic to coconut, the cross reactivity for those with tree nut allergies is rare. Specific tests can determine if a person is allergic to coconut. • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified coconut as a nut in 2006. The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network does not recognize coconut as a nut, thus the confusion.

SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Three years ago, our son married a woman who has two children, eight and 11 years old. The children’s natural father disappeared years ago. Our son has tried to step in to give the children the father that they have never had but it has been tough. The

kids are defiant, rude and insulting. I have told our son to lay down the law and demand the respect he deserves but he is reluctant to do so. He keeps on putting up with it. Do you think that he is right?

I am concerned about the defiance and abuse I see in some young people. Something needs to be done to help them better control themselves. But we should try to understand what the world looks like to children caught in the 21st century during their developmental years. The biggest problem for many children is that the world is remarkably insecure.

About 40 percent of all marriages ends in divorce. The high divorce rate means that a number of child re n f i n d t h e m s e l v e s m ov i n g between parents’ houses and sometimes unsure about where they should be. Unless their parents make a concerted effort, the children are likely to struggle with insecurity. They do not like those feelings and rebel, often by being rude to their elders. It gets even more frightening for children who may face subsequent marital breakups. Your son might be more successful if he forgets about trying to parent them and sells himself as a good friend. A friend listens to children

when they are perturbed by something, offers unconditional love and support and encourages innovative activities. Mom can be the parent. She can create the rules and reward and punish the children. Your son can support and encourage his wife but he should not try to displace her. Appreciate the value of your son’s friendship with the children. All of us need friends and being a friend to children gives them the opportunity to learn how to get along with others and be confident in a community.

HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have had migraines for years and also a tendency to an upset stomach. Are the two related in any way? A friend thought they might be. She had treatment for a stomach ulcer and her migraine disappeared.

There is a condition known as abdominal migraines where arteries supplying blood to the intestines can go into spasm, in much the same way as the blood vessels in your head do when you have a migraine headache. However, there is now research that indicates that there may be a connection that causes both stomach disorders and migraine headaches. An article in the November 2011 edition of Archives of Medical Science explores antibody levels known as IgG and IgM for the bacterium H. pylori in the blood of patients known to be migraine sufferers. This organism lives in the stomach and is the same bacterium that causes many stomach ulcers. Some cases of migraine were related to a women’s menstrual cycle but some had high levels of the H. pylori antibodies. As many as 75 percent of these women also had gastrointestinal symptoms, mainly gastric acid reflux. There was a significant difference between these patients and the control group. Previous studies have shown that treating migraine suffers with antibiotics for H. pylori infection has cured their migraine. Consult your doctor about testing to see if you are harbouring these bacteria.

Good footwear is important when walking on icy ground. Boots should fit properly and soles should be thick and non-slip. The type that looks like car tires is the best. The fashionable mukluk-like boots are good in snow but often the soles do not provide enough grip for ice. You can also buy ice grippers that attach to the boot but they should be removed when walking on smooth surfaces. For greater security, use a cane, or if you already use a cane, upgrade to a walking frame. You can also buy an ice pick end from the local drug store to attach to a cane. It can be flipped back when in a store or mall. Buy hip protector pads that attach to a belt or pants. A bulky, quilted or padded jacket long enough to cover your hips can also help cushion a fall. Try not to save yourself when falling by putting out your hand. Emergency rooms are full of broken wrists in icy weather. Let yourself go flat and slide if possible to help spread the load over a greater area. Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont.
