Imported food faces less scrutiny CFIA accused of misleading MPs | Union says only two percent of imports are inspected BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Food imports face far less rigorous inspection than Canadian food exports and the result is a Canadian population at risk, says the president of the union representing federal food inspectors.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency official Feb. 15 of misleading MPs about the level of import inspection. Two days earlier, CFIA associate vice-president Paul Mayers told MPs that there is a common perception that imports are not as thoroughly inspected as exports or products destined for the Canadian market. “First, let me assure the committee that there is only one set of rules,” he said Feb. 13.

“Those rules apply to imports the same way they apply to products moving domestically. Indeed in the context of products that are exported, if there are additional considerations, those are not CFIA requirements.” Kingston said that is not true. “I hate to say this, but you’ve been seriously misinformed on a number of very important issues,” he told MPs.

Doug Chorney pre-booked his spring fertilizer but didn’t lock in a price because he thought it was too high at the time. Last week he got a call from his anhydrous ammonia supplier. “They thought this was the time to price it,” said the farmer from East Selkirk, Man. Chorney locked in a price of $1,050 per tonne delivered to the farm, which is down from $1,100 before Christmas. “Although I’m not thrilled with that price, it is a little better,” he said. David Asbridge, president of NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service, thinks Chorney made a prudent decision. “We think we’re probably pretty close to the bottom of these markets,” said the U.S. analyst. The average wholesale price for urea in the U.S. Midwest for the first half of February was $440 per short ton, which is up slightly from a year ago but down sharply from the average of $537 in September 2011. Asbridge believes the freefall is nearly over and prices will start heading back up in the next two to four weeks as spring approaches. “(Farmers) probably should go ahead and start thinking about buying some of their fertilizer.”

NEWS “We’re at a point now where I don’t think there’s a whole lot of downside to current prices,” he said. Fertilizer prices shot up in the summer of 2011 when markets realized that the corn crop was going to be short. That led to record high corn futures, which dragged fertilizer along for the ride in addition to expectations for a much bigger U.S. corn crop in 2012 and the corresponding need for fall fertilizer application. Markets started to soften in December when the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report showing corn stocks weren’t as tight as originally anticipated. Falling prices have made fertilizer retailers reluctant to stock their shelves. They recall getting stuck with high-priced inventory in 2007 and 2008 that they had to sell at a loss. “The retailers are really not willing to step up and load up with a bunch of inventory that they’re not sure they’re going to be able to sell at a profit,” Asbridge said. However, they will have to start buying soon because fertilizer demand is expected to be strong this spring. U.S. growers intend to plant more wheat and corn, which are fertilizer intensive crops. As well, acres that were lost to flooding in 2011 in the United States and Canada will likely come back into production this year. Garth MacDonald, chief executive officer of G-Mac’s AgTeam Inc., an independent crop input retailer, said the lack of a public pricing system in Western Canada makes it hard to get a good picture of trends in this country. The Canadian market is different from the U.S. market. It tends to follow the same peaks and valleys, but the ups and downs are far less dramatic. “There is less volatility and sometimes that’s good and sometimes it’s bad,” he said. Fertilizer prices have dropped in Western Canada since summer, but they haven’t plummeted like they have south of the border. MacDonald said he is no analyst,

but he agrees with Asbridge that prices could creep higher in the spring. “If growing conditions are average to better, demand will be stronger than usual because the price of canola is above a five-year average, and so are the other crops that farmers are growing,” he said. “It’s a good time to invest in growing a crop.” Richard Downey, vice-president of investor and corporate relations with Agrium, is also forecasting strong sales this spring. “Overall, we envision very good demand for really all three nutrients, but particularly for nitrogen,” he said. “Nitrogen is one of those nutrients you can’t skip out on. There is an immediate yield impact and with cash margins the way they are, nitrogen demand clearly will be good.” Agrium is forecasting 94 million acres of U.S. corn in 2012, up 2.1 million acres from last year. Corn is a big user of nitrogen fertilizer. Asbridge expects fertilizer prices to return to the traditional pattern of spikes in the spring and fall and slumps in the summer and winter, so growers would be well advised to hold off on booking their fall fertilizer needs until summer. A large phosphate facility is coming on stream in Saudi Arabia and there has been lots of nitrogen capacity expansion in China and the Middle East. “That’s what is going to put pressure on prices this summer,” he said. Chorney said high nitrogen prices have changed the way he farms. Onethird of his 1,500 acre farm is now seeded to soybeans, which don’t require nitrogen. He locked in soybeans for $11.30 per bu., which is slightly lower than the $12 price he received for his 2012 canola. Both crops yield around 40 bushels per acre on his farm. The difference is that he needs to apply 100 pounds of nitrogen, 20 lb. of sulfur and 25 lb. of phosphate per acre of canola. “That’s an expensive cocktail to grow a canola crop,” said Chorney.

CHECKING IT TWICE

Less scrutiny for imported foods “Regarding import inspection and testing, the committee was led to believe that the rules are the same for both imports and exports, that producers in Canada have a level playing field and that this is administered evenly. Nothing could be further from the truth.” He said export inspection takes priority “because when they don’t do it, exports don’t move. Imports are discretionary and they get slid off the table in many cases.” The PSAC leader said that on average, 100 percent of exports are inspected and just two percent of imports, although that import ratio rises for high-risk products and meat crossing the Canada-U.S. border. Kingston said import inspections are the responsibility of the Canada Border Services Agency, whose agents have no food expertise. In many cases, the inspection is about checking for imported parasites or contaminated soil rather than food safety. “This presents to Canada a ticking biological time bomb that is being ignored by both departments,” he said. “It also clearly represents an uneven playing field for Canadian producers.” Pierre Lemieux, Conservative MP and parliamentary secretary to agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, told Kingston his allegations about Mayers misleading the committee were serious and he should either repeat them outside the committee where he could be sued or withdraw them. Kingston said he has made the same statement publicly. “I’m not saying they purposely misled you,” he said. “The individual that spoke here simply might not be aware of how those programs work in the field. That frequently does happen and you were seriously misled.” Lemieux protested that the Conservatives have increased funding for the CFIA and that Canada has been given credit by international agencies for having a robust food safety system. He called the union president “alarmist and I think it unduly alarms Canadians.” Kingston said the Conservatives have overstated the number of food inspectors that the increased funding has hired. On Feb. 13, Alberta Conservative Brian Storseth also raised the question of opposition MP criticisms of the food safety system. He asked Fred Gorrell, director general of Agriculture Canada’s market access secretariat: “From your experience, if Canadian members of Parliament are fear-mongering about the safety of the Canadian food system, does that help internal or external markets?” Liberal Frank Valeriote protested the use of the term fear-mongering, but Gorrell answered anyway. “In my opinion, the more discussions about the question of the Canadian food system domestically, the more difficult it is for us to have market access internationally,” he said. Saskatchewan Conservative David Anderson, parliamentary secretary to Ritz on the Canadian Wheat Board file, referred to additional money the government has sent to CFIA. “CFIA enforces the same rigorous food safety standards on imported food as it does for domestic food,” he said.

CWB | COURT ACTION

Federal gov’t hit with new lawsuit Plaintiffs want to restore CWB | Group seeks damages of up to $17 billion in class action suit BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers who support single desk grain marketing in Western Canada have launched another court action against the federal government. Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board announced last week that a lawsuit has been launched to restore a farmer-controlled wheat board and recover financial damages, potentially worth $17 billion. “Our goals in this action are twofold,” said Steven Shrybman, a lawyer with Sack Goldblatt Mitchell, the Ontario law firm that will handle the case. “Our primar y objective is to restore democratic farmer control of the wheat board and the right of producers to collectively market their grain. We are also seeking compensation from the government for damages it has caused to the interests of producers.” Winnipeg lawyer Anders Bruun, who will act as co-counsel, said the lawsuit will involve constitutional arguments aimed at restoring the board as well as a class action component. The lawsuit will seek damages of $3.75 to $17 billion, regardless of

whether the case succeeds in reinstating a farmer-controlled wheat board. “In the event that it becomes totally impossible or totally impractical to reconstitute a Canadian Wheat Board, then we will be seeking compensation for the loss of the CWB,” Bruun said. “If the wheat board is restored, then we’re claiming $3.75 billion for the loss of opportunity, the expense and the cost of business interruption to the farmers from Aug. 1 of 2012 to whatever time it takes to get (the CWB) reinstated. Regardless of the outcome, all farmers potentially have an interest in this litigation.” Neither Bruun nor Shrybman offered a time line on when the case would be argued, but a certification hearing is expected to take place within the next three to six months. If approved, the case will be heard at the Federal Court level. Plaintiffs named in the suit include grain farmers Harold Bell of British Columbia, Andrew Dennis of Manitoba, Nathan Macklin of Alberta and Ian McCreary of Saskatchewan. The latest court action comes just weeks after Regina lawyer Tony Merchant initiated similar class

actions on behalf of affected farmers in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Merchant’s cases have yet to be certified by the courts and dates for certification hearings have yet to be determined. However, Merchant said last week it is reasonable to assume certification hearings will occur in the next four or five months. Bruun said the outcomes of other legal actions, including Merchant’s, should have little or no influence on the outcome of the Bruun-Shrybman action. The courts could suggest legal teams combine their efforts to save legal costs and court time if multiple class actions are launched. It is also possible lawyers involved in the two cases could voluntarily decide to combine cases. However, Merchant suggested last week that the Bruun-Shrybman action, which will attempt to reinstate the CWB, may not be a perfect match for a suit that is seeking monetary damages and nothing more. As of last week, neither Bruun nor Shrybman had spoken with Merchant about the possibility of collaborating. At least two other CWB-related cases are also awaiting resolution:

• Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench judge Shane Perlmutter is expected to rule on whether federal legislation aimed at ending the wheat board’s marketing monopoly should be suspended. That case was heard in midJanuary. • A hearing date is also pending on an appeal launched by the federal government. Ottawa is seeking to overturn an earlier Federal Court ruling that suggested the federal government acted illegally when it altered existing CWB legislation. In mid-December, Ottawa passed Bill C-18, which will end the CWB’s marketing monopoly over wheat and barley Aug.1. Since then, farmer-elected directors have been removed from the CWB board and private-sector grain companies have been offering contracts to prairie farmers for the delivery of wheat and barley after Aug.1. Legal uncertainties surrounding the legislation have some players in the Canadian grain industry wondering whether delivery contracts signed since mid-December will be executed or whether subsequent court rulings will render them invalid.

Don’t be hasty to reseed winter wheat: agrologist

Judge reserves decision on railway suit BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Conduct spring assessment | Don’t try to determine if there is damage before mid-May BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Unseasonably warm weather in February provided Paul Thoroughgood with the opportunity to dig up some of his winter wheat plants and inspect them for damage. He removed the plants from a field on his farm south of Moose Jaw, Sask., that hadn’t received a flake of snow and stuck them in a plastic Tupperware dish containing a combination of potting soil and dirt from the field. The plants started growing and looked green and healthy. “The crop is still alive in about as bad a place as I could find in my field,” said Thoroughgood, regional agrologist with Ducks Unlimited Canada. He intends to take the plants to farm shows to help dispel the belief that lack of snow cover on the Canadian Prairies has killed off this year’s winter wheat crop. Ducks Unlimited has been inundated with calls from concerned producers who fear the crop is lost. Some of them said that industry agronomists have told them to start booking seed to replace their winter wheat come spring. “I’d hate to see people who finally got some of that wet ground seeded last fall go out and do something drastic to it,” said Thoroughgood. Rob Graf, a winter wheat breeder with Agriculture Canada, said this has been an extremely unusual win-

ter with next to no snow cover across much of the Prairies. Fortunately, there has been only one short cold snap. “The good news is that we didn’t stay very cold very long,” he said. “I think the crops generally are OK.” A bigger concern for growers in his region of southern Alberta is the possibility of desiccation injury. It has been so unseasonably warm that some of the winter wheat has broken dormancy and started to grow. Roots that start respiring need water, but the soil is either frozen or too dry to properly nourish the plants. As a result, they will die. Graf stressed that growers should be patient with their winter wheat this spring. A crop that looks thin because of winterkill or other injury can fill in due to the crop’s exceptional ability to tiller. “It’s amazing what that crop can do. It does recover,” he said.

He hopes to put growers’ minds at ease about winterkill. | PAUL THOROUGHGOOD PHOTO cated soil temperatures low enough to cause winterkill during the one brief cold spell: Arm River and Alameda in Saskatchewan and Somerset, Man. Farmers in those areas may want to have a Plan B, but even they need to first conduct a spring assessment. That is accomplished by removing a few plants on a warm day, rinsing off the dirt and placing them on a moist paper towel in a warm room with plenty of light for at least part of the day. The plant is damaged if the crown tissue, which is the thickened part of the stem below the soil surface, quickly turns brown. If it remains white, the plant is healthy and will begin to produce roots within a few days. Winter wheat fields should be assessed only after two-thirds of spring seeding is complete, during the latter half of May.

“Don’t go out and make a rash decision on April 15 because the crop is not going to look good then,” said Thoroughgood. Experienced winter wheat growers know not to panic, but there are plenty of first-time producers. He wants those inexperienced growers to know it is unlikely that there has been an extreme winterkill event, although there is undoubtedly isolated damage. His farm isn’t far from the Arm River WeatherBug location, yet the crop looks fine despite the cold temperatures and lack of snow cover. Winter wheat has been a good economic performer for growers the last two years, and in some cases the alternative is planting back-to-back canola crops, which isn’t an agronomically sound practice. “It’s great to have that Plan B in mind, but don’t employ the solution before you know you have a problem.”

An Alberta judge has reserved her decision on whether a class action lawsuit against Canada’s two major railway companies can proceed. Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Sheilah Martin is expected to rule in a few months on whether a suit seeking $577 million in damages from the Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway should be heard. The action, launched on behalf of prairie farmers by Regina lawyer Tony Merchant, claims the railway companies overcharged producers for shipping grain during a 12-year period between August 1995 and August 2007. In the statement of claim, Merchant suggested the railways used unfair freight rates that resulted in farmers being overcharged by roughly $1.66 per tonne. The claim was based on a 2008 decision by the Canadian Transportation Agency, suggesting the railway companies used inflated hopper car maintenance costs to determine their shipping rates. The CTA ruling implied the railways had been adding annual hopper car maintenance costs of roughly $4,400 per car to their freight rates when the actual cost of maintenance was closer to $1,400 per car. The CTA ruling was challenged but upheld by the Federal Court of Appeal in November 2008. The agency subsequently lowered railway revenue caps, which influence how much railway companies can charge farmers. However, the adjusted rates were not applied retroactively, leaving about $577 million collected during the 12-year period in question, Merchant said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FUNDING | LEVY PROPOSAL

CIGI plans funding after CWB The wheat board spent $4.5 million on market development BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

VAUXHALL, Alta. — The Canadian International Grains Institute is proceeding into its 40th anniversary year without its largest partner. As of April 1, the Canadian Wheat Board will no longer be funding the market development work undertaken by CIGI, which means the institute must develop its own plans. Rex Newkirk, director of research and business development for CIGI, said initial fears have faded about the future of the institute once the wheat board no longer has a monopoly on wheat and export barley and thus no longer provides funding. “It’s quite a dynamic time for CIGI, really,” he said at the Alberta Soft Wheat Producers Commission meeting Feb. 16. “Now, instead of being directed by the wheat board, and being responsible to them for the work that was occurring, now we’re responsible directly to the producer, so it’s one more step closer.” Newkirk said the wheat board spent $4.5 million annually on market development, much of it through CIGI. To replace that funding, Newkirk said the federal government has promised to implement a temporary levy on wheat, barley and durum to carry CIGI through until more formal arrangements are made. The institute has proposed a 25 cents per tonne levy, but the government has yet to reveal its plan. “We feel that 25 cents would allow us to carry on with that market development work and we’d also have to take over some of the roles that the wheat board played in that market development as well.” The temporar y levy, which is expected to start Aug. 1, could last as long as five years, said Newkirk. A formal structure would likely be implemented within that time to manage checkoffs for both CIGI and the Western Grains Research Foundation. The federal government has committed funds to continue operating CIGI operations between April 1 and Aug. 1. Newkirk also expects it will take on a role in market analysis formerly done by the wheat board. CIGI works with Canada’s grain, oilseed and pulse customers by educating them on crop quality, product development, processing and other technical expertise. Newkirk said CIGI provides “aftermarket support” that helps retain customers for Canadian commodities in a competitive global market. He expects CIGI will still work with the CWB as the board develops its own programs and market development needs. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SELLER PROTECTION | SASKATCHEWAN STOCK GROWERS ASSOCIATION

Cattle producers’ security fund under consideration BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A proposal to establish a Saskatchewan cattle producers’ assurance fund is now in agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud’s hands. The plan, which was developed by the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association, sets out how a fund could help producers who aren’t paid when livestock dealers go under. Although dealers carry bonds, the amounts aren’t usually large enough to pay everyone involved. Bjornerud has said he supports a fund if industry wants one. It’s not known how long he will consider the SSGA proposal. Industry support appears variable.

Producers attending the SSGA and livestock loan guarantee program annual meetings have passed resolutions of support. The Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association debated a motion at its recent annual meeting that Saskatchewan develop a fund similar to Alberta’s. However, it was lost. Bill Jameson, SCA director and long-time cattle buyer, told the meeting that such a fund takes the onus off the seller to make sure deals are made with reputable dealers. Others wanted more clarification on how the fund would work and what happens if it grows too large. SS GA general manager Chad MacPherson said there are two ways to collect money for a fund: a check-off or

a levy collected at brand inspection. “We’d like to see a levy collected at brand inspection,” he said. “You’re going to get higher revenue and it won’t be refundable.” The suggested initial levy is 20 cents per head. MacPherson said the fund would take years to build to $5 million, which would make it sustainable. The proposal asks the province to backstop the fund until that happens. The fund would compensate producers to 80 percent of the sale value of their animals. Producers would make their first claim against the bond held by the dealer and subsequently access the assurance fund. MacPherson also said the levy could be reduced if the fund grew

large enough. The idea of an assurance fund has been raised in the past. MacPherson said there have been five cases in the last 10 years of companies going under. Producer losses have totalled $3 million. The latest push came after G & M Livestock of Manitoba ceased operations about a year ago without paying producers. Total losses at the time were estimated at $1 to $1.3 million. Although the RCMP said at the time that it was looking into several complaints in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, a spokesperson said last week he could not confirm RCMP involvement at this time. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

OILSEED | OUTLOOK

Tight world supply supports canola price Lock in good prices | Analyst fears unstable economy may cause price pullback

AGRICULTURE CANADA FORECASTS

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Global rapeseed and canola supplies will remain tight in 2012-13, providing continued price support for the sister crops, says a leading industry analyst. Oil World is forecasting a marginal 240,000 tonne increase in global rapeseed-canola supplies, which is less than a 0.5 percent bump over already tight 2011-12 levels. “This is mainly attributable to the poor state of winter crops in the European Union and neighbouring Ukraine,” said the oilseed analyst in a Feb. 10 weekly report. Oil World executive director Thomas Mielke said demand for the two crops has been rationed in 2011-12 because of insufficient supplies. That has given rapeseed-canola and their respective oils and meals a price premium over soybeans and sunflowers and their byproducts, a trend that will continue into the new crop year. “Prices of rapeseed and canola as well as of the respective oils and meals will remain well-supported and comparatively expensive compared to competing oilseeds, oils and meals in the 2012-13 season,” said access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

TONNES OF PRODUCTION THIS CROP YEAR FILE PHOTO

Mielke in an e-mail. “In fact, we estimate that insufficient supplies will require a demand rationing of rapeseed and canola worldwide by approximately two million tonnes.” Errol Anderson, an analyst with ProMarket Wire, doesn’t agree with Mielke’s price projection. “Even though the canola-rapeseed may be very, very tight, it doesn’t guarantee that the prices will maintain a head of steam,” he said. Anderson worries that an unstable global economy will cause equity markets to pull back, which would be a bearish turn of events for most commodities. “Our take is that the current market is getting toppy and there’s going to be selloffs,” he said.

“We’re still advocating being a marketer. Take advantage of good prices and be prepared to lock them in.” However, he agreed with Mielke that global supplies will be tight, which should result in strong basis levels at Canadian crushers. “The crushers will be very protective of getting their share to keep these plants going,” he said. Some companies are already paying $10 to $18 over the May futures price to lure in canola to their plants. “Situations where you get the basis premiums like that will become more common,” said Anderson. How markets shape up will largely depend on how much damage a winter storm caused to Europe’s rapeseed crops. Temperatures dipped as low as

-20 C in Germany and Poland, where 30 percent of the EU’s winter rapeseed crop is planted. There was insufficient snow cover to protect the crops from the cold temperatures. Oil World’s sources in Poland have observed no frost damage to the country’s rapeseed crop. As a result, the analyst is forecasting 19.7 million tonnes of EU production, up from 19.1 million tonnes last year. It acknowledged that its winterkill losses are “rather conservative.” The analyst has lowered its Ukrainian output to 1.05 million tonnes from its January forecast of 1.13 million tonnes. More than 20 percent of Ukraine’s rapeseed crop failed to emerge because of dry fall conditions. As well, temperatures that dipped as low as -35 C likely caused

additional damage. Oil World said all eyes will be on Canada to see how much canola is seeded and what the spring brings. “There is very limited chance for the 2012-13 world rapeseed supply to recover from the already subdued level this season and to meet the global requirements,” the German publication said in its weekly report. “As a result, the global market dependence on the 2012-13 Canadian canola is going to increase.” Agriculture Canada is forecasting 19.8 million acres and 15 million tonnes of production in 2012-13. Oil World’s predictions are slightly lower at 19.5 million acres and 14.7 million tonnes. Anderson said canola could easily approach 20 million acres.

AGRICULTURE CANADA CROP OUTLOOK

Record canola crop forecasted

Agriculture Canada expects seeded area will increase this spring thanks to drier conditions. It expects stocks at the end of the current crop year will be tighter than at the close of 2010-11. Canola stocks look exceptionally tight and are forecast to grow only slightly by the end of 2012-13.

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

When does 27 percent seem smaller than nine percent, and nine less than five? The answer: when five, nine and 27 are the percentages that canola, wheat and oats are expected to increase this spring. Those predictions, made by Agriculture Canada, would hit an all-time record for canola but not even get oats acreage back to what farmers intended to plant last year. “We had such a disappointing area seeded last year,” said Fred Oleson, chief of Agriculture Canada’s economic market analysis. The apparent surge in oats area, if it occurs, will leave the crop smaller than what farmers intended to seed last spring before floods prevented seeding in large areas of oat-heavy Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan. In fact, the failure to reach even pre2011 flood levels reveals oats to be one of the least inspiring crop choices

for farmers this spring. Canola, on the other hand, is forecast by Agriculture Canada to increase five percent to almost 20 million acres, which would be a record. Analysts say the five percent expansion is quite a feat, considering that farmers are maxing out their crop rotations to grow more canola. “Guys really want to grow it and they’re doing what they have to in order to grow it,” said Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions. “It’s just worked out so well.” This winter’s profitability projections have put canola and malting barley at the top and oats at the bottom. Farmers are mostly shackled to their rotations, but many have a quarter-section or two they can switch into something attractive. The recent rally in canola prices and projections of a razor-thin carryout this year and next have helped keep canola prices and expectations high compared to many other crops. Trade guesses of spring canola acreage range from 19.5 million to 20.5 million. Agriculture Canada’s fore-

cast is 19.7 million, which would produce a 15 million tonne crop, or six percent more than produced in 2011, if the weather is average. Most analysts also favour barley, which should see substantially more acres than last year. Agriculture Canada predicts a 22 percent increase, and most private analysts see at least that much and perhaps more. Agriculture Canada sees spring wheat acres increasing by nine percent, with dryness and a return to normal growing conditions being the driving forces. “We think they’re a little light on the barley and a little heavy on the oats,” said Driedger. Farmers tend to favour droughttolerant crops when the soil is as dry as it is now over much of the Prairies, which helps barley, spring wheat and durum keep and increase acres. Oat prices have lagged the market and have made that crop the weak sister this winter. Barley’s relative attraction comes from prices for both malting and feed access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

barley. New crop bids in Saskatchewan of $4 per bushel will attract a lot of farmers who want a drought-tolerant, low input crop, analysts say. Hidden in the big numbers is a desire by many farmers to grow higher-yielding, lower-quality cereal grain rather than the high-protein, high-quality grain that the Canadian Wheat Board used to encourage. Far mers now might push for higher yields with less quality risk.

“The wheat will probably switch down to a lower-quality, higheryielding type,” said Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications. Ever yone acknowledges that weather conditions will play a decisive role in determining what actually goes into the ground in three months time. “A lot depends on what moisture we get for the rest of the winter,” said Oleson.

CANOLA | PRICE OUTLOOK

Growers buoyed by canola price rally, profitability Soybeans drive rally | Analysts say after soaring prices, a correction could be ‘reasonably severe’ BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canola prices rallied strongly in February but excitement about growing another big crop is likely even at lesser prices. Some analysts expect the rally to subside soon, but they don’t think it’ll stop planting almost 20 million acres this spring. “You could see this market pull back $50 a tonne and I don’t think

that would cause guys to change their plans,” said Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions. March 2012 futures have gone from about $500 per tonne in early December to around $555 Feb. 17. Canola has enjoyed strong demand from crushers and exporters, but the driver of the rally has been soybean prices. Some analysts see the $555 level as testing a resistance-support level. If it breaks higher, many would see

canola prices rising a leg higher. But if it bangs its head on the ceiling, many expect it to reverse downward. After such a powerful rally, the reversal could be dramatic. “If there’s some sort of a correction, it’ll be reasonably severe when it hits us,” said Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications. However, Anderson said he didn’t see the oilseed rally coming and doubts its justification.

“I thought the rally would have ended 20 bucks ago.” He believes the main impetus has been speculative money, not fundamental changes in supply and demand. Dryness in South America has reduced soybean production, but not enough to cause the sharpness of the rally, Anderson said. Other crops are also enjoying a more modest rally and commodities and equities generally have rallied,

giving canola room to run. However, many analysts think the rise is overdone, regardless of the momentum. Yet canola’s relative profitability compared to other crop options is solid. “We’ll probably see prices soften as the year goes on, but guys have got forward sales on the books and I don’t think the market will totally collapse,” said Driedger. “Guys will be growing it.” access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

U.S. ETHANOL | DEMAND FORECAST

Ethanol demand could diminish as factor in corn market MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

he end of a major ethanol subsidy in the United States will likely slow development of the biofuel industry. However, that could be a good thing as corn demand from U.S. livestock and overseas markets rise. Corn dominates the crop markets, and its price trend has a big impact on wheat, canola and barley. Ethanol stocks in the U.S. are rising this winter, following the Dec. 31 end

of the 45-cents-per-gallon tax credit available to blenders of ethanol. The surplus is driving down the price of the fuel and a few ethanol plants are reducing production or closing as they become unprofitable. The surplus might fall once the summer driving season arrives. However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that 2012-13 will be the first year since the ethanol boom began in the early 2000s that corn use for ethanol will drop. It sees 125.7 million tonnes of corn going into ethanol production in the coming crop year, down from 127 million in the current year. The USDA released its annually updated long-term, base line projections last week. It forecast corn demand for ethanol will be stagnant until 2015-16, when modest growth will resume.

In the last five years the amount of corn going into ethanol grew 56 percent to 127 million tonnes. Essentially no growth is expected in the next five years. That is worrisome for grain producers at first glance because it takes away what has been a solid growing support factor for prices. The USDA forecasts a farm price of $5 per bushel for 2012-13 and $4.30 for 2013-14, down from $6.70 in 2011-12. The department sees U.S. corn area rolling back to 90 million acres for several years following the 94 million expected in 2012-13. While ethanol’s pace slackens, overall corn demand still climbs, with feed and residual use climbing

from 117 million tonnes in 2011-12 to 140 million in 2015-16 as the U.S. cattle herd rebuilds. Exports, which have fallen for several years, start to pick up again, rising from 41 million tonnes in 2011-12 to 56 million in 2015-16. Those who believe it is only a matter of time before China becomes a major corn importer likely think that forecast is conservative. Good weather and improved yields in the last couple of years have allowed China to meet its rising needs and surprise the market, but even some Chinese officials admit the country will have to start importing corn at some point. The U.S. will be an obvious source, but China is working to ensure it has

a diversified list of suppliers. Even as a Chinese delegation signed agreements to buy U.S. soybeans last week, another high level delegation was in Argentina signing agreements to allow corn from that country into China. Argentina is the world’s second largest corn exporter. China will also be interested in corn from the Black Sea region. Ukraine doubled corn production this year to 22 million tonnes and exports grew by 180 percent to 14 million tonnes. If its winter grains prove to be as badly damaged by drought and frost as many analysts believe, farmers there will reseed in spring with a strong potential further increase in corn acres.

FED CATTLE PRICES UP

CANADIAN CATTLE ON FEED

HOG PRICES STEADY

Speculative funds invested in cattle futures driving prices to record highs. Reduced slaughter helped drive cutouts higher. Together, these factors drove fed cash prices higher. Fed steers average rose $1.82$112.61 per hundredweight and heifers were $113.16, up $2.40. U.S. packers showed interest. Rail trade was fairly consistent at $191 cwt. delivered. The cash to futures basis tightened to -$13.86 from -$14.22 the previous week. Stronger prices encouraged selling, making feedlots current. Weekly fed exports totalled 6,267 head, down 10 percent from the previous week. Year to date fed exports are down 38 percent. Canadian market-ready supplies should remain manageable. The basis should strengthen in March when demand picks up. With the strong premium in the April contract and lower U.S. fed slaughter, cattle in U.S. feedlots are getting backed up. U.S. steer and heifer carcass weights are at record high for this time of year. Feedlot currentness will need to be monitored.

There were 942,845 head in Alberta and Saskatchewan feedlots with capacities of 1,000 head or more on Feb. 1, up three percent from last year. Placements in January were 95,729, up six percent. The increase was all steers as heifers moved into the breeding herd. Ma r k e t i n g s i n Ja n u a r y w e r e 141,725, down one percent.

U.S. packers had negative margins early in the week but edged into positive territory late, once they were able to force cutouts higher. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs traded mostly steady during the week and were $64 US per hundredweight Feb. 17, the same as Feb. 10. The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $86.87 Feb. 17, up from $85.14 Feb. 10. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.15 million, up from 2.13 million the previous week.

This cattle market information is selected from the weekly report from Canfax, a division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. More market information, analysis and statistics are available by becoming a Canfax subscriber by calling 403275-5110 or at www.canfax.ca.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were steady at $3.80$3.90 per pound hot hanging weight.

Grade A heifers were $3.60-$3.90. The market remained under pressure because of the strong loonie and better supply. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.40-$2.70. In the live market, heifers born in 2011 were $2-$2.50 and bulls were $2.25-$2.75. Bulls and heifers born in 2010 were $2-$2.10.

SHEEP REPORT Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 828 sheep and 346 goats sold Feb. 13. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $240-$268 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $225-$254, 86-105 lb. were $190-

$215 and 106 lb. and heavier were $176-$198. Wool rams were $85-$110 per cwt. Cull ewes were $72-$91 and bred ewes were $240-$340 per head. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $225-$238 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $219-$230, 86-105 lb. were $180$200 and 106 lb. and heavier were $170-$188. Hair rams were $85-$97 per cwt. Cull ewes were $91-$104. Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $215-$255. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $200-$257.50 per cwt. Nannies were $87-$116 per cwt. Billies were $112.50-$172.50. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 1,087 sheep and lambs and 74 goats traded Feb. 13. Lambs sold barely steady to lower. Sheep traded steady. Goats sold actively at higher prices. access=subscriber section=markets,livestock,none

COW PRICES RISE D1, D2 cows rose $1 per cwt. Packages of high yielding cows are trading up to $80 per cwt. Over the past two weeks, the average D3 cow price has increased $3. Rail bids strengthened $2 to $140$146 per cwt. delivered. The Canfax average bull price rose to near $85 per cwt. Weekly nonfed exports to Feb. 4 totalled 4,051, up 27 percent from the previous week. Domestic packers may have to force bids higher to remain competitive with U.S.

FEEDERS STEADY TO STRONGER Feeder values were static with price resistance becoming evident. Financial risk in placing cattle is high. Buyer demand for grass cattle was intact with 300-600 pound steers and heifers trading steady to $1.40 higher. The Canfax average steer price rose 24 cents and heifers climbed 63 cents. Volumes of 700-900 lb. feeders increased, but prices held firm. Buyers are discounting heavily conditioned cattle, whereas demand for light to moderate conditioned feeders is strong. The average 900 lb. and heavier steer and heifer price rose $1.40$2.35. Auction volumes totalled 30,609, down 15 percent from the previous week. Weekly feeder exports to the United States to Feb. 4 totalled 1,724. Year to dates feeder exports are up 49 percent. Strong U.S. feeder prices will ultimately support the Canadian market. High performing packages of feeders are testing the top end of the Canfax price ranges.

POPULATION CENSUS | RURAL GROWTH

CRAIG’S VIEW

Investment in rural Prairies must accompany growth

fter reading some of the headlines that were written immediately following the release of the 2011 census results earlier this month, it would have been easy to conclude that the population of rural Canada had plummeted. Most media reported that the rural population continues to decline, and in proportion to the urban population, that is true. But in real numbers, at least on the Prairies, that is false. Saskatchewan’s rural population, defined by the census as areas with a population of 1,000, or fewer than 400 people per sq. kilometre, actually grew by 10,020, or three percent — staunching a multidecade decline. There are now 343,398 rural residents, representing 33.2 percent of the population. In Manitoba, the rural population has been growing since the 1981 census, and grew by 10,200 between 2006 and 2011 to about 333,500 people, or 27.6 percent of the population. Alberta is different because it has two large metropolitan regions, which affects the number of towns considered rural. However, even there, the rural population has risen over the last few censuses. Rural people make up 16.9 percent of the province, still a more-than-respectable 615,000 folks. The growth of First Nations has had a significant effect on rural numbers, particularly in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and so has immigration. A large number of towns have also grown. In Manitoba, for example, Morden achieved city status in this census, while Neepawa grew by 10 percent because of the influx of immigrants now working at the HyLife pork plant. Steinbach, once a town, is now the third largest city in the province after Winnipeg and Brandon. It’s important to note that we’re not really comparing apples to apples when we compare the 2011 census with, say, the 1951 census. At that time, towns like Martensville, Sask., and Steinbach were still rural. Today, they are cities.

As former Statistics Canada rural researcher Ray Bollman pointed out in a story last week, some rural areas gain enough people in each census to move into the urban category. Therefore, the proportional rural decline is even less precipitous than it looks. The growth of Saskatchewan and Alberta rural communities is far more influenced by the boom in the resource sectors than in the agriculture sector. However, this boom is still in many respects a boon for the farming community. Although growth generates issues, such as competition over water and land, the economics of having more taxpayers is positive for the maintenance of amenities in rural Canada, and for the support of small businesses of all kinds from restaurants to gas stations. Governments are taking notice, but will have to do more in the future to keep up with the infrastructure that supports the economy. It’s hard to attract long-term workers to rural Canada if there isn’t a functional hospital nearby, or a school for their children. Road infrastructure is crucial and increasingly so because of rising traffic levels. Immigration policies should also be continually evaluated to ensure they are attracting the appropriate workers with the right skills to serve growing industries. A vast amount of economic activity is taking place on the rural Prairies, which puts heavy money into provincial government coffers. Rural areas may not have the populations of the cities, but the amount of money generated there makes them an important part of the population and economic equation. Therefore, governments cannot ignore the reasonably large number of voters living in villages and towns, on farms and those in small cities influenced by their rural roots. If we want rural people and newcomers to stay, good policy must make them welcome.

FOOD SAFETY | CANADIAN FOOD INSPECTION AGENCY

Food inspection agency needs to provide clear answers to calm concerns NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

ord knows, MPs do not typically look to journalists for ideas on what they should be doing, but here is a suggestion, offered freeof-charge. A parliamentary committee, agriculture or other, would be doing the country a service by launching hearings into what is going on at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It is one of the key federal agencies

that is supposed to give comfort to Canadian consumers about the safety of their food. It also would do the CFIA a favour by possibly clearing the air about serious allegations of under-staffing, under-resourcing and too-close ties to the food industry. That is not to suggest something wrong is going on there. It is to suggest that few people, and certainly not the MPs who are supposed to oversee government, really know what is happening. Questions about CFIA performance, competence, staffing and funding are usually smothered in a fog of bafflegab. Government bravado is all about how much extra money it has made available to the agency and how good its international reputation is.

Opposition questions are usually about perceived inadequacies and whether consumers should be worried. The union representing inspectors regularly challenges CFIA claims about how many front-line inspectors there are and how well the Canadian food supply is inspected. The agency itself is proposing new rules that would increase the role of food company self-inspection. And when the CFIA is asked questions, the result is usually the aforementioned fog of bafflegab. Consider the fact that the government recently published figures projecting a budget cut and loss of up to 224 positions. The explanation offered was that these were programs set up in 2008 after the listeriosis outbreak that are now being “sunsetted”

because they are no longer needed. Public Service Alliance of Canada president Bob Kingston says it is a plan to get rid of extra inspection started after the 2008 crisis and to lower inspection standards. Last week at the House of Commons agriculture committee, CFIA associate vice-president for programs Paul Mayers was asked about the implications of the cuts. As a master of the bafflegab fog, Mayers noted that while some programs were slated to end, $100 million had been sent to CFIA for wonderful things like renewal, modernization and food safety. And as for the direct question about the implications of the projected cuts: “I can’t tell you what the ultimate outcome will be until the process of review of potentially sunset-

ting programs and any decisions regarding renewal have taken place.” Farmers would have a word for that foggy response, given the hard numbers in the government projection. So a serious review of CFIA funding, mandate, staffing, competence and role would be a service. What is the state of CFIA? The Commons agriculture committee, lacking legislation to study, has been filling its time with longterm studies — last year a set of hearings on biotechnology that went nowhere and now, a set of hearings on what should be included in the next federal-provincial agreement on a five-year Growing Forward agriculture policy framework that is already largely mapped out by ministers. A serious investigation of CFIA would likely be far more valuable. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

Farmers must retain producer car access

Information packed paper keeps growing

BY KEN ESHPETER

am a farmer and the chair of a newly formed new generation co- o p erat ive t hat b o u g ht a branch line from Canadian National Railway one year ago. The branch line runs from Camrose to Alliance, Alta., a distance of 100 kilometres. We bought the line from Alliance to Highway 56 and then we have a running rights agreement with CN from Highway 56 into Camrose, a distance of 16 km. The shortline has heavy steel track (132 pounds) and has six sidings of the same steel, each 800 metres long. The shortline is a fabulous resource that we could not allow to be abandoned. We had an excellent first year of operation, but we are now concerned about our future if the Canadian Wheat Board is dismantled. We previously operated as a producer car group with CN providing service. Now that we own the line, we provide our own power. Since 2003, our group has moved close to 5,000 producer cars: 4,975 cars of CWB wheat and barley and 25 cars of non-board grain. We have been actively trying to move canola and peas because they are popular crops in our catchment area, but as you can see, we have had limited success to date. If the CWB were to be dismantled, we at Battle River Railway are concerned about our ability to move profitable numbers of producer cars. We fear that we may encounter as

Short-line railways and producer car shippers have had trouble accessing incentives for larger unit trains. | FILE PHOTO much difficulty moving wheat as we now experience moving peas and canola. It is no secret that big grain has been trying to kill producer cars for at least 20 years. The momentum reached a crescendo when they were able to convince our politicians that free stocks of canola should not be allowed to accumulate in terminal positions but instead had to be delivered into an existing sale.

The movement of canola in producer cars stopped Immediately, and we have been struggling to get it going again. Producer cars work for board grain because the CWB has been organizing our sales. Our producer car deliveries are automatically included in their sales. Short-line railways and producer car shippers have also had trouble competing in non-board grain

because big grain and big rail have made it impossible for these groups to access 50 and 100 car tariff incentives. That freight incentive, which is already coming out of farmers’ pockets, is the difference between being price competitive or not. This agreement between big grain and big rail makes it impossible for small players to compete. It also downloads all the costs of grain accumulation onto farmers. Many farmers now view the cost of ownership of a super B as a necessary evil. They have internalized the expectation of moving their grain long distances at their own expense. I think it is time farmers began realizing that there is something unfair about bearing all the negative consequences of this new system of grain accumulation and transportation. The right to access producer cars is enshrined in the Canada Grains Act. Exercising the opportunity to load producer cars gives farmers another choice in the marketing of their grain. They are a viable option if a farmer or group of farmers is having difficulties coming to terms with grain buyers. The loss of the opportunity to access producer cars either because of legislation or because railways refuse to provide practical service would be a terrible loss to all farmers.

RISING LAND PRICES | REASONS

Saskatchewan land prices likely to stay strong HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ot long ago, $1,000 an acre for cultivated farmland raised eyebrows in Saskatchewan. Those days are long gone and aren’t likely to return. Prices have been rising for years, slowly in the mid-1990s and after the turn of the century and more rapidly in recent years. Real estate agents like Tim Hammond say prices took a particularly large jump last fall, and the market hasn’t cooled. Some of the top prices are now approaching $2,000. A mere $1,000 an acre has become routine. In southeastern Saskatchewan, where many producers seeded little or no crop in 2011, you would think that farmland prices would be suffer-

ing. Instead, the booming oil industry and new potash development have lent support. Some observers are sounding alarm bells, advising producers that what goes up can just as easily come back down. That’s the lesson from the 1980s. Farmland values increased dramatically through the 1970s and into the early 1980s. At that point, farm income went sour and interest rates went crazy. Equity eroded as farmland prices dropped, and producers ended up owing more than their land was worth. Incredibly, interest rates hit 16, 18 and even 20 percent, making it almost impossible to keep up if you were highly leveraged. It could happen again, warns the cautious crowd. They point out that commodity prices and therefore land prices have always been cyclical. It took more than 20 years for Saskatchewan farmland to get back to the price levels of the early 1980s. I’m usually in the cautious crowd. In this instance, though, there are a

lot of reasons why farmland is likely to continue strong. Saskatchewan is still cheap compared to most of Alberta. Actually, we’re cheap compared to almost anywhere in North America. Good land at $1,000 or even $2,000 per acre is unheard of in many jurisdictions. That has led to the purchase of land as an investment. Sophisticated investment companies are involved, as are private buyers from other provinces. Hammond says Chinese Canadians have also entered the market. In some cases, they are even planning to farm the land themselves rather than renting it out. Some well-heeled Saskatchewan farmers are buying land they don’t intend to farm. They understand the land market and believe prices will likely appreciate. What investment could you have made that’s done as well as land in recent years? Like residential housing, the land market has benefited from incredibly low interest rates. If interest rates were to spike, land payments would become much

more difficult to make. But interest rates aren’t expected to rise appreciably any time soon. What if the grain market goes to heck in a hand basket? It’s not impossible. The whole world economy could go into a nasty downturn if some European countries can’t resolve their debt issues. However, a lot of prairie farmers have made good money in recent years and pockets are now deep. On top of that, many producers have built up good AgriStability coverage, which would tide them over for a year or two if things did get ugly. Sure, land is worth way more than its productive value. That isn’t new. Land has always been an investment as well as the basis of production. No one can know the future, but there’s a pretty good chance that we’ll look back at land that was once $1,000 or even $2,000 an acre and wonder why we were so cautious to buy.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

opy editor Bruce Dyck was wondering aloud the other day why he could once lay out the entire Western Producer, editorially speaking, almost all by himself. He was the sole layout editor in the late 1980s and early 1990s, although he got some help on a few of the pages. He began looking through the back copies of The Producer, and realized that the papers were, on average, smaller in those days. The pages were physically slightly larger, and so was the size of the type, but in general the generations of The Western Producer are pretty comparable. March tends to host the Producer’s largest papers. In March, 1988, one of the editions was 80 pages. In March, 1991, two of the editions were 80 and 88 pages. By July, the papers trickled off into 64-page territory. Certainly, there were some fairly large editions in “the old days,” like a 104-pager on March 19, 1981. But overall, we’re bigger today than we were two or three decades ago. The Feb. 21 edition in 1991 was 72 pages. This issue is 112. That is truly amazing. The Western Producer is actually fatter and juicier than it was in the 1980s and 1990s. You can really sink your teeth into it. I argued last week that newspapers are, while perhaps slightly smaller, far from nearing demise. The internet, the recession and more citizen journalism has definitely altered most publications forever, but publishers are resilient and have found new ways to attract readers, in print and online, while protecting core products. Even so, few papers are actually bigger than they were 20 or 30 years ago — but this one is. There are many reasons for The Western Producer ’s health and growth, among them skilled and dedicated staff members like Bruce. More globally speaking, targeted publications like ours do seem to be thriving more than daily papers. Longevity doesn’t hurt, either. On every front page, you will see the tagline “Serving Western Canadian Farm Families since 1923.” That’s a very long time to develop relationships with your readers, their sons and daughters, and their grandsons and granddaughters. We are ever so grateful for your continued readership, and especially so as we contemplate the future. We begin our 90th year in August, and look forward to carrying on our tradition of big, fat, informationcrammed editions. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

It has been interesting to read some of the recent columns Kevin Hursh has put in The WP regarding the Canadian Wheat Board. In the Dec. 15 issue, he took exception with the elected directors not entering into discussions with others about wrapping up the single desk. He referred to them having “venomous opposition” to the happenings around Bill C-18. He criticized them for not embracing the inevitable change and getting going with the new program. It is interesting to note how he has ignored the fact that eight of the

directors were elected with a mandate to defend the single desk. Also, the fact that the government actions that resulted in Bill C-18 being created have been ruled “an affront to the rule of law” by a federal court seems to have eluded him. It seems Mr. Hursh believes that these directors, who have seen the sales book and watched the industry from the inside, should just have forgotten all that. They should put aside their convictions and knowledge and get with the program this government pushed upon us. They should ignore the fact that farmers were barred from having a voice in this decision by being denied a vote that was guaranteed by Canadian law.

In another interesting editorial on Jan. 27, Mr. Hursh noted at one point how not many new crop contracts had been signed on wheat and barley, as producers were unhappy with the unknown grade discounts. He then said in the next paragraph “how fascinating it will be to watch it all play out.” I do not share Mr. Hursh’s fascination of watching these events play out. Uncertainty is risk. And risk is not what Canadian farmers need more of. With record debt in the agriculture sector, we need to be seeking sustainability, not volatility. The high market prices of today can fall, as they always do, and we will now be exposed to the narrowing of margins as our predecessors 70 years ago access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

NO GM SUPPORT To the Editor: Australian farmers do not support the commercial release of GM wheat. Your article, Australia embraces GM technology: farmer, Jan. 26, page 80, quoted Bill Crabtree and Paula Fitzgerald claiming that 90 percent of Australian farmers support GM wheat, which is not true. GM wheat is little more than industry sabotage, as no market in the world wants to buy GM, or potentially GM, contaminated produce. If GM wheat is commercialized in Australia, it will be too difficult and too expensive to segregate non-GM, and all farmers will be forced to label their product GM, rendering it unsalable. On release, the market perception is that we are GM unless we prove we are not, and overnight farmers risk losing all of our markets. This is why no GM wheat is grown commercially anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, government is pressuring the research industry to form profitable alliances with the GM companies in return for lucrative contracts that dictate control over how a farmer farms and who to sell to. Australian farmers pay a compulsor y levy towards Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) to fund research, but we do not own the intellectual property we pay for. GRDC also receives government funding and is promoting GM. Paula Fitzgerald of Grain Growers was with Croplife, GM company representative, and paid $100,000 per year by GRDC to push a pro-GM policy through farm organizations. Bill Crabtree was awarded by GRDC for promoting GM, and was trying to float a company, Green Blueprint, developing GM wheat. It is a serious misrepresentation by those with a vested interest to claim Australian farmers support GM wheat, as Australian farmers are not ignorant of the serious risks. Julie Newman, National spokesperson for the Network of Concerned Farmers, Darling Downs WA, Australia

MINISTER MISSING To the Editor: Recently, Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall, North Dakota governor Jack Dalrymple and United States senator John Hoeven met in Regina to discuss flood protection and water management strategies for the Souris River. Notably absent from the meeting were high-ranking officials from Manitoba, such as our newly minted conservation and water stewardship minister, Gord Mackintosh. Given the large amount of flood damage sustained in Manitoba’s portion of the Souris River basin in 2011, one would hope that finding longterm solutions to flooding on the Souris and Assiniboine rivers has not

OPINION been forgotten so quickly. Having input in these meetings should have been a high priority for the NDP government to help ensure the damages sustained and distress caused last year are not repeated.Â Governments may isolate themselves from neighbouring jurisdictions on some issues, as seen in Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of participation in the New West Partnership, but it is impossible to be an isolationist on matters of geography. Water will run downhill and cross jurisdictional lines whether you are engaged in discussions with your neighbours or not. Coming out of the Regina meetings, governor Dalrymple stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we owe it to all the people throughout the Souris River basin to meet their needs for short-term and long-term flood protection.â&#x20AC;? I think the NDP government owes it to Manitobans affected by the management of water in the Souris River basin to get in on these discussions as soon as possible. I note that the International Souris River Board will be meeting later in February in Bismarck. I sincerely hope that Manitoba will be represented there. The water will come our way, and the NDP government needs to be at the table to discuss best strategies to help manage it. Ian Wishart, Progressive Conservative water stewardship critic, Winnipeg, Man.

RITZ REDUCING CHOICES To the Editor: With the exception of a few diehard supporters of (federal agriculture) minister (Gerry) Ritz, most farmers are realizing that ending the Canadian Wheat Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single desk has reduced choices for wheat and barley farmers on the Prairies. Firstly, none of the grain companies are actually running any pools. And even if Ritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CWB II runs a pool, it will not attract the tonnages that it had previously so the benefits will be reduced. Secondly, most grain companies are only issuing contracts for one or at most two grades of wheat. Since farmers cannot know the grade pattern for a crop that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seeded, they are forced to sign a contract with a grain company in which they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the grade and must accept the deductions or premiums the company demands if their grain does not meet their contract. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse is farmers cannot shop around to see if another grain company will grade their grain differently as they used to do when CWB contracts gave them that freedom. If you sign a contract with a grain company, they grade it and you must accept it, and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what another company might have graded it as â&#x20AC;&#x201D; since the company owns your grain the minute you sign the contract. It appears Ritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of marketing only includes locking a theoretical price determined by a company, but the grade and service you get is irrelevant. Aside from the grain companies, about the only people to benefit from this will be Ritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Canadian Wheat Growers (Association) supporters that he has appointed to run his crippled wheat board. Thanks for the choice, Ritz. Lorne E. Herndier, Melville, Sask.

It seemed those ladies were operating from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sugar bowl economy.â&#x20AC;?Â It was only later that I saw their donations added up to $1 million dollars and they sponsored medical, educational and evangelical work in far distant countries. Furthermore, this work was done by trained Canadian women whose professional training still didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow them to work in their own country. Many of them received the highest recognition and honours from the countries where they served. World Day for Prayers services are held in large and small communities around the world on the first Friday in March.

Since 1922, this ecumenical service has been organized and co-ordinated through an international and national committee and is now held in 170 countries. The country that will plan the service is chosen several years ahead by the World Day of Prayer International Committee, which meets every four years. This year, our hosts are the women of Malaysia. They introduce us to the history and culture of their country and to specially selected spiritual themes.Â From Africa to Asia to Central and South America to right here in Canada, men and women gather to sing, pray, tell stories and make an offering. Last year, $88,000 was raised by

folks outside of Canada and was given to such worthy causes as empowering women to fight against poverty, girls and boys as agents of change, and for education against female genital mutilation. The $57,000 given by Canadians was granted to organizations helping those who are abused, youth programs, native women wanting to develop agricultural projects and adult literacy for immigrant women.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | PUBLIC INPUT

Grain commission seeks public input on changes Stakeholders’ opinions sought | Changes planned to CGC, Canada Grain Act BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission is seeking feedback from farmers and grain industry stakeholders on possible changes to the commission and the Canada Grain Act. The federal government has been suggesting for months that a review of the act and the commission’s roles and services would be forthcoming

once legislation aimed at eliminating the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk marketing authority had been passed. In a letter issued to grain industry stakeholders earlier this month, the CGC chief commissioner Elwin Hermanson said the commission is seeking feedback on a variety of issues including the CGC governance, the commission’s mandate, licensing, inspection and weighing services, enforcement and the producer payment protection program. “We have begun to look at key areas for potential change and are now seeking your views,” Hermanson

wrote. A discussion paper posted on the CGC’s website stated key changes under consideration: • replace three commissioners with one executive who will serve as president and chief executive officer • introduce a non-binding dispute resolution process to review commission decisions • revamp CGC mandate that clarifies how commission services benefit the entire Canadian population, including grain farmers • modernize licensing provisions that accommodate future changes in the industry • convert the CGC’s existing produc-

er payment protection program to an insurance based program • change or eliminate mandatory inspection and weighing services at terminal and transfer elevators • eliminate the Grain Appeals Tribunal • replace existing enforcement tools such as licence suspensions with a system of monetary penalties. Cost cutting welcome Blair Rutter, executive director of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers association, said his organization is pleased that the federal government is attempting to eliminate access=subscriber section=news,none,none

unnecessary costs. Until recently, the CGC had suggested that it would alter its fee structure to recover the full cost of existing CGC services. The WCWG estimated that maintaining existing CGC services and moving to full-cost recovery would cost the grain industry an additional $54 million per year, the lion’s share of which would be borne by farmers. Rutter said his organization is encouraged by the fact that Ottawa is reviewing CGC operations, scrutinizing the commission’s services and looking for ways to cut costs. “It’s certainly welcome,” he said. “They had proposed to effectively double their fees about a year ago without any review of the services that they provide. “We think this is a much better approach. Let’s first look at what’s needed and what services could be made optional and after that process is done, then we can consider what kind of fee structure they have. “Now at least they’re coming to industry and saying, ‘what changes do you think need to be made.’ ” Rutter said the elimination of mandatory inward weighing and inspection could result in significant savings for the industry.

The emphasis at the agricultural policy framework negotiations is shifting from farm supports to prosperity through trade. Market access will be a key priority when federal and provincial agriculture ministers finish negotiating the next Growing Forward policy framework later this year, says a senior Agriculture Canada official. A priority during previous agricultural policy framework negotiations was usually to strengthen farm business risk management programs to protect farmers from income volatility. The next five-year framework, scheduled to be approved in September and take effect April 1, 2013, will have a more outward emphasis, the House of Commons agriculture committee was told last week. “The future of the Growing Forward program has not been approved by ministers,” said Steve Tierney, assistant deputy agriculture minister for market and industry services. “That being said, certainly the government has been putting a priority on market access.” The emphasis will also change from more traditional markets experiencing slow growth to emerging country markets that are booming. “These markets require a different approach than the traditional ones,” said Tierney. “In particular, it requires greater focus on bilateral engagement.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

ALL WHEAT COMMISSION | UNITED REPRESENTATION

New wheat commission to fund research, markets Resolution passed | No opposition voiced to new wheat commission proposal BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

VAUXHALL, Alta. — The Alberta Wheat Producers Commission is one step closer to formation with the unanimous passage of a resolution at the Alberta Soft Wheat Producers Commission meeting Feb. 16. The resolution directs the ASWPC board to include soft wheat under the proposed new commission, repeal its own regulations and dissolve the ASWPC in an orderly manner once the new all-wheat commission is formed.

The Alberta Winter Wheat Producers Commission passed a similar resolution at its annual general meeting in late January. Lynn Jacobson, president of both the ASWPC and Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, has been co-chairing efforts to establish an all-wheat commission along with winter wheat commission president Kent Erickson. The two have made the rounds of producer meetings in the past year to inform farmers about the proposal and encourage them to fill out a questionnaire stating their opinions.

Their goal is to ensure at least 80 percent of Alberta farmers are aware of the plan. “I think we’re getting very close to that threshold right now,” said Jacobson, adding that Ag Expo in Lethbridge Feb. 29-March 2 will likely be the last push. The proposal will then go to the provincial government, with the goal of establishing the commission by Aug. 1, 2012. A provincial election, widely expected to be called this spring, could delay things, but Jacobson is hopeful the time window will be wide enough.

“As long as the government feels there isn’t going to be any real kickback on them, and producers phoning up the ag minister and saying, ‘what the heck are you doing,’ … as long as they feel comfortable that the majority of people know about it and support it … they’ll just do an order in council,” he said. No major objections to the proposal have been encountered so far, Jacobson added. Hard red spring wheat makes up 83 percent of all wheat grown in the province, but there is no organization or commission representing that

crop. Wheat makes up 35 percent of Alberta’s annual cropped acres. According to the proposal, the new wheat commission would be funded through a 70 cents per tonne checkoff, which would raise an expected $3.5 million annually. That money will be used for variety research and market development for all types of wheat. Peter Pepneck, a soft wheat producers commission board member, said there is some appetite to establish a provincial wheat commission in Saskatchewan, and Manitoba is actively discussing the idea. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Prime minister Stephen Harper last week challenged opposition parties that support the long gun registry to have the political courage of their convictions. “If the NDP really believes and the Liberal party really believes in the long gun registry, then I challenge them to come to the House (of Commons) every day from now until the next election and tell Canadians they will bring it back,” Harper said in the Commons Feb. 16. “We would be happy to take them on.” The previous evening, Harper and his Conservatives achieved a longtime goal by voting to abolish the 16-year-old registry created by a previous Liberal government. The party has argued for years that the registry unfairly targeted law-abiding farmers and hunters while doing nothing to fight gun violence. The Feb. 15 vote, 159-130, sent Bill C-19 to the Senate for final hearings and debate. It marked a major step in the campaign. The Conservative-dominated Senate is expected to pass the bill and send it to the governor-general for proclamation into law by spring. Once the legislation is law, the RCMP will quickly begin to examine data in the registry to determine what should be erased. While a potential Quebec court case and its attempt to create a provincial registry will keep the issue alive in the political debate, Conservative MPs last week were celebrating an important victory in their battle against the registry. They mingled with their allies at a Parliament Hill reception soon after the voting ended. The celebration raised the ire of opponents. “Shamefully, as we saw last night, the (Conservatives) celebrated the loss of one of our most effective gun violence prevention tools,” Ontario New Democrat Rathika Sitsabaiesan said Feb. 16.

U.S. BEEF SECTOR | OUTLOOK

Survey shows Unsettled conditions, red ink expected in cattle sector most favour COOL change STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

WTO violation | Most U.S. respondents say they prefer changing COOL to appealing the WTO ruling The United States should look for a peaceful solution to reforming its mandatory country-of-origin labelling law rather than pushing for a prolonged fight with its trading partners. Canada and Mexico challenged the law in 2008 and last November, the World Trade Organization ruled it was not in compliance with international trade agreements. “ Th e W TO r u l i n g w a s h i g h l y expected and I encourage the U.S. to recognize fighting that probably is unwise. I think the free market can address the issue of providing information such as origin quite well,” said Glynn Tonsor, a beef economist with Kansas State University. “Canada and others, who led the complaint discussion, are being rather reasonable,” he said during a Feb. 7 webinar. However, Canada expects the United States to announce March 23 it will appeal the ruling, said John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “The United States is likely going to appeal it so we are preparing for the appeal,” he said. Preliminary results of the consumer survey from Kansas and Oklahoma state universities found little awareness about COOL among the 2,000 consumers interviewed. The survey did not include agriculture producers. It found more than 60 percent did not know the law existed for retailers to label fresh red meat and produce. A majority said they did not read the labels. However, nearly half said the law should be repealed or adjusted to bring it into compliance with WTO guidelines while one-third of those polled favoured economic conciliations to compensate Canada and Mexico. Under the WTO, Canada and Mexico could place tariffs or sanctions on other agricultural or non-agricultural products, said Tonsor. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

There is plenty of uncertainty facing the U.S. beef industr y from extreme weather events and high input prices but there will be opportunities in the next two years. “For those who can stomach the new normal, I think the characterization of variable volatile markets is becoming the new normal,” said Kansas State University beef economist Glynn Tonsor. “ It is going to be up to the industry to know how to manage it and how to live in that environment going forward,” he said during a Feb. 7 webinar. As of January 2012, the beef cow inventory was less than 30 million,

the smallest number since 1962. The calf crop was the smallest since 1950. However, there are some hints of expanding the herd as ranchers in the northern plains states start to reap the benefit of record high calf prices. Abundant feed and water supplies in North and South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming and Iowa saw some young females held back for breeding. However, the worst drought since the 1930s devastated herds in the large cow producing states of Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and New Mexico where there was a 10 to 20 percent decline in heifer retention. On a national basis, 1.4 percent

more heifers were retained compared to the census of January 2011. “But 1.4 percent is hardly enough to move the needle and secondly, that is an increase from 2011, which was a particularly low year,” he said. “This is the first signal that expansion might be starting to initiate but it is hardly enough to move the needle,” he said. Real expansion may not be seen until 2014, providing there is enough feed and water. In the meantime, a dwindling supply of cattle trading at record high prices could see substantial economic losses for the feeding and packing sectors. The feedlot sector could lose about $95 per head this year.

HOW COOL WAS COOL? An analysis of the impacts of

country-of-origin labelling released by the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association in January said weekly fed cattle prices from 2005 through 2010 and full years through September 2009 found the labelling requirement widened the negative price basis for fed cattle by about 30 percent of the initial basis, or about $4 per hundredweight. Based on the live weight of a typical animal of about 1,200 lb., it works out to a price difference of about $48 per head for Canadian fed cattle. Overall, COOL caused a loss of U.S. imports of Canadian feeder cattle of about 480,000 head in the first 80 weeks after the measure came into effect. That is an estimated reduction of 6,000 head per week. Before COOL, the average weekly feeder cattle exports were 10,494 head in 2007 and 8,372 head in 2006.

“Projected red ink for this industry is expected to continue going forward for the rest of the year,” he said. It is also likely more cattle will stay on grass longer as producers attempt to put more weight on them outside of feedlots and save on the cost of corn or other feed grains. Tight supplies are here to stay for two to three years. Profits will trigger expansion. In 2011, cow-calf producers had an $80 per head return over cash costs. In the next two years, they expect returns of $150 per head. “We haven’t seen that since 1984 and that would definitely send a signal in most people’s eyes for certain producers to pull the trigger on expansion,” he said.

GLOBAL WARMING | AGRICULTURE

RESEARCH AWARD | ECOLOGIST

Global warming effects will worsen, says UN report LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Global warming is expected to get worse as more land is converted for agricultural use and urban development. The warning is contained in a new report published by the United Nations’ Environment Program. (UNEP). Soil contains large quantities of carbon in the form of organic matter, which provides nutrients for plant growth and improves soil fertility and water movement.

The top metre of soil alone stores 2,200 billion tonnes of carbon, which is three times the level currently held in the atmosphere, said the UNEP Year Book 2012. “Soil carbon is easily lost but difficult to rebuild,” the report said. “Soil carbon stocks are highly vulnerable to human activities. They decrease significantly (and often rapidly) in response to changes in land cover and land use such as deforestation, urban development

and increased tillage, and as a result of unsustainable agricultural and forestry practices.” Gas increases Such activities can break down soil’s organic matter. When this happens, some carbon is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is one of the main contributors to global warming. Around 24 percent of global land

has already suffered from declines in health and productivity over the past 25 years because of unsustainable land use, UNEP said. Sixty percent of carbon stored in soil and vegetation has been lost since the 19th century as a result of land use changes, such as clearing land for agriculture and cities. The global demand for food, water and energy is forecast to rise dramatically, and soil will come under increasing pressure. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Ecologist’s makes ran

Questioning the norm | W awareness of the ecosystem BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The range is where the deer and the antelope play. It’s also where Walter Willms has studied for more than 40 years, and where the renowned Agriculture Canada researcher in range ecology and management has uttered that seldom heard discouraging word about grazing systems. They aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, he says. He and some colleagues once published a research paper that challenged ideas on commonly accepted rest-and-graze approaches. It made waves in research circles. “We got a lot of flack from many people, which kind of tickles my fancy, because if we’re not shaking up the paradigm, then we really aren’t accomplishing a lot. We’re just going with the flow,” says Willms. Though some may consider the world of native range to be peaceful, Willms takes obvious delight in polite disturbance. “I’ve done a lot of questioning, and there’s usually a basis for it. I wasn’t doing it just to be ornery, but some people might think so. But it’s been a lot of fun.” Willms, 67, plans to retire later this year, having amassed a body of work that makes him Canada’s preeminent rangeland research scientist. He has the most senior classification within the country’s agriculture research network, that of principle research scientist. The extent and quality of his research recently led his colleagues to successfully nominate him for the W.R. Chapline Research Award, which is presented by the Society for Range Management. He received the award Feb. 1. The plaque sits on the window ledge of his Lethbridge office among papers and flotsam amassed from rangeland in southern Alberta and from Inner Mongolia, where he has also conducted research and helped Chinese colleagues develop their own studies. Barry Adams, head of the rangeland resource management program with Alberta Agriculture, was mentored by Willms and remains an admirer. He recalls Willms’ controversial questioning of grazing systems and the quality of the science that generated commonly accepted range management principles. “To have anybody come along and question these pillars of wisdom actually produced a lot of very angry debate in certain areas,” Adams recalls. But that was only one of the many questions Willms asked over the years. His inquiries resulted in greater understanding about the value of organic litter on range and contributed to general understanding of winter grazing, Adams says. “Sometimes we can understand how things work in practice, but we don’t always understand how they access=subscriber section=news,none,none

search for answers geland better place

Walter Willms is pleased with the public’s growing and concern over loss of native rangeland work in theory. And sometimes it’s having that underlying theory that helps to kind of defend or promote those practices.” Willms’ work provided that theory. However, with the humility that Adams says is characteristic of the researcher, Willms doesn’t give particular emphasis to his results when he discusses his work. The pursuit of answers is his focus. Willms is gratified that the value of native rangeland is better recognized than in the past, when it was designated by Agriculture Canada as “unimproved pasture.” “Really, it’s the opposite. As soon as you cultivate it, you are putting that land and soil at risk. You are putting the productivity at risk,” says Willms. In 2006, the designation changed to “natural grassland.” A public outcry last year over plans to cultivate natural grassland near Bow Island, Alta., told Willms that attitudes are changing. “I was pleased to see there was a big outcry, which indicates to me that the public understands the value of this piece of land and they want to keep it. And really, we don’t have very many big blocks of native rangeland (left.)” Fragmentation is the biggest threat to remaining prairie, says Willms. He estimates only 30 percent of it remains in Alberta, and less than that in Saskatchewan. Most of his studies have involved fescue grasslands in the Stavely, Alta., area in the southwest and the mixed prairie around Onefour in the southeast. At the start of his career, Willms planned to become a wildlife biologist. But he fell in love with rangeland after obtaining his masters degree. “I really think I’ve had the most interesting job that anybody could have. I feel very, very fortunate, it was just a lot of fun,” he says. “The nice thing about range is that any question you can ask, you can address it through range.” He is now involved in an extensive study of how cattle engineer grasslands by selective grazing and creation of forage patches that provide habitat for various species. The study began in 2002 with the goal of providing greater understanding about animal response to changes in grassland structure. Willms refers often to his mentors and colleagues in the field, among them Silver Smoliak and John Dormaar. But Willms’ own name is on a massive body of research now in use. “When you go to any conference or workshop that deals with our ecosystems here in Western Canada, the findings, the results of Walter’s work are always part of the discussion,” says Adams. He wonders how the work of his mentor will carry on after Willms’ retirement. “That’s one of the things we need to look to now, to see how Agriculture Canada will continue to ensure this legacy continues.”

To have anybody come along and question these pillars of wisdom actually produced a lot of very angry debate in certain areas. BARRY ADAMS ALBERTA AGRICULTURE

CHOW TIME FOR BOVINE

FAME BIOREFINERY | BIODIESEL TO COOKING OIL

Biodiesel plant takes new path Alberta plant revamps | The company hopes to compete with olive oil SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An Alberta biodiesel plant has switched focus and is now producing food grade canola oil. Fame Biorefinery has given up on plans to build as many as a dozen six to 10 million litre biodiesel plants in Western Canada. The one million litre pilot plant it built four years ago in Airdrie, Alta., is now producing cold pressed canola oil for two Alberta retailers. The facility produced 100,000 litres of biodiesel before it was repurposed last summer. Labour costs made operating the pilot plant at full capacity unprofitable. The biorefinery needed to be 10 times bigger to be commercially viable, but there was no appetite in the investment community for that kind of project. “We found the capital markets just aren’t interested right now in doing that,” said company president Keith Jones. So the decision was made last summer to change the business plan by using the former biodiesel plant to manufacture a product called Vibrant Cold Pressed Canola Oil. “What we’re really doing with this product is we’re trying to go directly after the extra virgin olive oil market and try to claw back some of that share for Canadian farmers,” said Jones. Canada imports more than 33 million litres of olive oil annually. Canola advantage Market research determined that many Canadian consumers stock their cupboards with two types of oil — regular canola oil for frying and olive oil for salad dressings, dips and marinades. Jones believes cold pressed canola oil offers distinct advantages over olive oil. He contends consumers prefer the flavour and it contains half of the saturated fat and 10 times the omega 3 levels of olive oil. Vibrant Cold Pressed Canola Oil is available at Calgary Co-op and Sunterra Market in Calgary. Fame Biorefinery is in discussions with other retailers. The product retails for $12.99 for a 500 millilitre bottle, but the introductory price is $9.99 to stimulate consumer interest in the oil. Conventional canola oil sells for $3 to $7 per bottle while olive oil retails for $6 to $20. Jones said other manufacturers of cold pressed canola oil have had trouble keeping their costs down. “We found we can actually produce access=subscriber section=news,none,none

it quite a bit cheaper because we have some different technology we’ve developed,” he said. Retailers originally wanted the product to be produced with certified organic canola, but that proved difficult to find. The two lots the company could find contained a high proportion of stinkweed, redroot pigweed and buckwheat, which changed the flavour profile. The six farmer members of Fame Biorefinery’s 12 member investment team provide the plant with genetically modified canola.

The pilot plant has the capacity to produce 1.5 million litres of canola oil annually, but the plant isn’t operating at full capacity because the company is still in the beginning stages of marketing this new product. Jones said the plan is to build a commercial-scale 15 million litre biorefinery in Airdrie once capital markets regain their appetite for such projects. It will produce a variety of products including biodiesel and cold pressed canola oil. A plant that size would require up to 40,000 tonnes of canola seed per year.

U.S. livestock sectors fear new hen housing changes Precedent setting | Producers worry legislation on food animals will trickle down BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Legislation currently before the U.S. Congress proposing major changes to hen housing systems has producer groups worried. The Humane Society of the United States and United Egg Producers developed new requirements for laying hens that other livestock and poultry groups describe as a precedent setting. “This is the first time we have had legislation on food producing animals,” said Kristina Butts, executive director of legislative affairs in Washington for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. “When you have federal legislation telling you how to do your job, you have to go back and get more federal legislation to change it so you can do your job in a new way as science changes or consumers change,” she said. Egg P rod uct s In s p ect i o n Ac t amendments of 2012 require producers to convert from traditional cages to enhanced housing systems by 2029. Hen space would be increased to 124 sq. inches from 67 sq. inches per white bird. Brown bird cages would increase to 144 sq. inches from 76 sq. inches. The cages would include perches, nests and scratching pads. Pork, chicken, sheep and dairy groups and the National Farmers Union are working with the beef producers to oppose it because they do not want animal care practices enshrined in legislation. The HSUS is an animal rights group that supported a ban on horse slaughter in the United States where funding for meat inspectors in federal plants was pulled. However, Butts said change may be coming because that funding ban was lifted late last year. Dealing with HSUS can be difficult, said Dave Daley, a cow-calf producer and assistant dean of animal science at the University of California. Talking to animal rights groups and the public about common farm practices has not been successful so far. “We have already lost the argument because we weren’t willing to listen to anybody who disagreed with us,” Daley said. “We started to lose it when the movies Babe and Charlotte’s Web became popular. We didn’t realize how people value animals. “They are part of their families and they have a hard time understanding how you could have a cow that you really like and still eat her.” The HSUS released a 25-page report on the welfare and care of beef calves, describing castration, dehorning and branding as painful mutilations. Calf transport was referred to as unnecessary stress and said weaning is cruel when young animals are abruptly removed from their mothers. It also said ear notching, electrical ejaculation and rectal palpations access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

are potentially painful. His university conducted a survey among 200 beef producers on attitudes on changing practices for improved animal welfare. When asked if they would consider a different method of castration to lessen pain, 42 percent said they would approach change cautiously, 36 percent said they would adopt change and 11 percent said they would change as soon as a new tech-

nique was available. The rest said things were fine as they are. There were similar responses to dehorning. He said the public needs to hear a better explanation for these practices. “Animals have a right to be treated ethically and humanely. That needs to be our story. There is a place for science but it is not the best way to reason with the public,” he said.

Hog, sheep and dairy groups are opposed to legislation dictating how producers must care for animals or what practices are allowed. | FILE PHOTO

be explained well. Producers also tend to defend their practices to each other and dismiss the consuming public as ignorant. “When we talk to each other, we do it so effectively, we are damned sure we are right,” said Dave Daley, a cowcalf producer and professor of animal science at the University of California. “Our solution is to say it louder and say the same thing over and over again.” Most of the public knows little about agriculture, but many seem to suspect that producers are probably doing something wrong, he told an animal health committee meeting at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention held in Nashville Feb 1-4. Too often, people are told animals are treated well because otherwise producers would not make any money. This makes them sound greedy. For example, it is better when defending castration to urban residents to tell them that a calf will breed with its own mother and sisters if it isn’t castrated. Daley said they can accept the incest explanation better than being told it makes the meat better and reduces behaviourial problems in the herd. Wrong approach Daley offered the following advice on how to lose an argument on farm animal welfare: • assume science will provide all the answers. It does not solve ethical questions and the public does not understand or trust science. The public will listen to producers • use economics as a justification for farm practices. It sounds greedy and uncaring • try to defend all agricultural practices. Defend those that are defensible but the producer loses credibility when defending everything • assume animal welfare cannot be improved. Agriculture practices are always evolving and improving. Things can be done differently and better • attack everyone who disagrees. Sometimes it is better not to argue at all • be unwilling to listen, especially to those with whom you disagree • assume the lunatic fringe is the general public • be reactive rather than proactive • assume someone who disagrees with you is either stupid and/or evil. Good people can look at the same issue differently • don’t work hard enough to form coalitions that include the general public • mock or criticize non-conventional production systems such as grass fed, organic and natural beef. Let the market determine whether they succeed or fail • try to lead a parade and not check to see if anyone is following

NITRATES | POISONING

Excessive nitrates in feed deadly

Annual forage crops accumulate greater amounts of nitrates than perennials. These crops are usually planted into well fertilized, manured or recently plowed grassland or pasture. Annual crops are also harvested at an early stage of development (milk to dough), when nitrate content is highest. Some plant species can become nitrate accumulators if the right conditions exist.

Test forage, silage, water | High nitrate crops can be reduced if made into silage BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Sugar beets are among crops that accumulate nitrates. | FILE PHOTO

STRATHMORE, Alta. — Nitrogen makes plants grow, but nitrates in forage can kill livestock. “Typically, your first symptom of nitrate toxicity is a dead animal,” Barry Yaremcio of Alberta Agriculture told a forage seminar in Strathmore. Cattle are at the highest risk to die from nitrate poisoning; sheep and horses are more tolerant. Large applications of nitrogen fertilizer or manure increase soil nitrate levels and the amount of nitrate

available to the plant. “The application of fertilizer will predispose these plants to accumulate nitrate,” said Yaremcio. Excess nitrates accumulate in stressed plants after drought, hot winds, hail and frost. Dying weeds sprayed with chemicals also accumulate nitrates. A frost of - 6 C for five to six hours kills the entire plant. Roots are unable to transport water and nutrients into the plant, and nitrates do not accumulate. The crop is safe for harvest any time. A light frost is more dangerous; it may take two weeks for nitrogen levaccess=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

els to lower. “If you have a light frost, get out there and cut it immediately. Don’t wait.” The highest concentrations occur four to five days after the injury. Plants take 12 to 14 days to recover and the same amount of time is needed for nitrates to return to normal levels. The highest concentration usually occurs in the bottom six inches of the stem. Nitrates do not accumulate in the grain. Cut as soon as possible after frost or a hailstorm. “If you wait 14 days after a frost, there will be a lot of leaf drop and a stemmier product,” Yaremcio said. “The product quality is going to go down.” Raise the head or cutter bar so four to six inches of stem are left behind. Research from the United States suggests nitrate levels are reduced if the damaged crop is made into silage. Nitrate content falls during the initial stage of silage fermentation until the pH is below five. The pit needs to be covered and cared for properly. High nitrate levels in forage can be reduced by making sure green feed is dry when it is put up. The problem can worsen if it is baled at 18 to 20 percent moisture and then heats. Microbial action that causes heating may convert nitrates in feed to nitrites, which are 10 times more toxic in feed than nitrates. Forage, silage and water should be tested. Nitrates in the water will add to what is in the forage. Yaremcio recommended mixing a handful of silage from each load in a plastic bread bag. Send it to the lab at the beginning of the week so it does not have to wait. Otherwise, the contents will start to ferment in the bag and change the nitrate level. An animal’s ability to withstand nitrate poisoning depends on body condition score, stage of production, type of feed and amount of time to adapt to the ration. Nitrates in feed are converted into nitrites in the rumen. Under normal conditions, the ammonia goes to the blood stream and the kidneys, where it is excreted as urea in the urine. Excess nitrates change the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Death is caused by lack of oxygen. Accumulation in the body is possible, and symptoms may not be present for the first four or five days of the feeding program. Conventional wisdom suggests that nitrate levels higher than half a percent are dangerous, but Yaremcio said that may not be the full picture. This level is based on research conducted in 1964 when nitrates were injected into the blood stream. It may take two to three days in the digestive process, so the effects are much slower. Feed containing one percent nitrate can be blended with good feed at 25 percent of the ration. Cattle will take four to five days to adapt to a high nitrate feed. Adding soluble carbohydrates from grain helps reduce the impacts and metabolic conversions.

PULSE PRODUCERS CAN CLAIM CHECKOFF FOR TAX CREDIT Forty-five percent of the Saskatchewan pulse checkoff qualifies for the federal Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax credit for the 2011 tax year. The tax credit is based on the amount of check-off funds spent on research and development that meet specific criteria as set out by Canada Revenue Agency. Producers can calculate their total check-off contribution by referring to their pulse sales receipts, which shows the check-off allocation. Of this total, 45 percent is eligible to earn an investment tax credit. This resulting check-off amount is eligible to earn an investment tax credit up to a maximum of 20 percent for individuals and up to a maximum access=subscriber ess=subscriber section=news,none,none

of 35 percent for corporate producers that are Canadian controlled private corporations. To claim the federal tax credit on their tax returns, producers must file a T2038 (IND) for farm proprietorships and a T2SCH31 for farm corporations. Corporations are also eligible for the 15 percent Saskatchewan research and development tax credit for research performed in the province using Schedule 403 to claim the credit on their tax returns. All check-off investment tax credits applied against taxes payable or refunded must be reported by the producer as income in the subsequent year.

The CBAN is asking people to write to the agriculture minister and demand that he stop the introduction of GM alfalfa. It is not yet legal to sell the seeds in Canada, although Canadian regulators approved GM alfalfa as safe in 2005. The film can be viewed at www. cban.ca/alfalfa.

FOOD SAFETY | INSPECTION

Loblaw official takes heat over food safety comment Food inspection | Some day farmers’ markets are going to kill someone, says retailer BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Farmers’ market advocates wasted no time demanding a retraction after the head of Canada’s largest grocery store chain said produce from farmers’ markets will kill a consumer someday. Loblaw Cos. Ltd. quickly said executive chair Galen Weston was simply calling for more food inspection throughout the system and not singling out farmers’ markets. But in the days that followed Weston’s controversial statement at a Toronto food conference, he received some significant support. “They were simply indicating that food inspection as an activity should be happening everywhere and not just at major chains and not just at major manufacturers but also at farmers’ markets,” Public Service Alliance of Canada agriculture union president Bob Kingston told the House of Commons agriculture committee Feb. 15. “We agree..… It’s preventive. I believe the more inspection, the more preventive measures you’re taking, then the safer it is.” Earlier, University of Guelph professor Sylvain Charlebois weighed in on Weston’s warning. “Shocking comments, perhaps, but the fact of the matter is, it may have had already happened,” he wrote. Consumers can be exposed to pathogens causing illness at any level of the food chain. “These were evidently strong words coming from the head of Canada’s largest food retailer, but they point out that a broader more rational debate on food safety is warranted in our country,” wrote Charlebois, a former University of Regina professor who is acting dean at the University of Guelph’s College of Management and Economics. The furor began Feb. 7 when Weston, during a speech to a Conference Board of Canada conference on food policy, argued that Canada’s food system is strong and a robust inspection regime is key. “Farmers’ markets are great … but someday they’re going to kill someone,” he said in answer to a question from the audience. “I’m just saying that to be dramatic, though,” he quickly added.

and responded in a later session when he had a chance to speak. “We strenuously object,” he said. “That was awful.” The association later demanded an apology or retraction from Weston, but the Loblaw chain said that it was a comment on food inspection and not on farmers’ markets.

NEWS UNITED STATES | AG SUBSIDIES

U.S. president proposes big cuts for agriculture Fiscal restraint needed | Sweeping cuts proposed for the United States Department of Agriculture in Obama’s annual budget WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — U.S. president Barack Obama has proposed slashing subsidies to the booming agriculture sector by $32 billion over the next decade. The proposal comes as Congress begins the lengthy process of overhauling the expiring U.S. farm law. For the third year, Obama has proposed cuts to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in his annual budget. Congress, however, has yet to come to an agreement on how to reform the massive subsidies to the sector. Obama’s plan includes eliminating the $5 billion a year that is disbursed to farmers in direct payment regardless of need, an idea that has some support among U.S. lawmakers. “ I n a p e r i o d o f s e v e re f i s c a l restraint, the payments are no longer defensible,” said the administration. The plan to cut $32 billion over 10 years is far larger than the $23 billion

agreed by congressional agriculture committee leaders last fall during deficit-reduction talks. Last year, Obama made a similar call for cuts, saying payments to the wealthiest farmers should be eliminated along with reductions in direct payments. Budget cuts have squeezed the USDA’s reporting of crop production over the past couple of years, but the White House proposed steady funding of $109 million for its forecasting arm in the coming fiscal year. Obama said the USDA should cut two million acres from the long-term Conservation Reserve, which holds farmland out of production. Crop insurance subsidies would be cut by $7.6 billion through 2022. A disasterrelief fund, scheduled to expire this year, would remain. Farm groups are divided on the shape of the new farm law.

Analysts say there is a 50-50 chance, at best, that Congress will enact a farm law this year, given electionyear and deficit-reduction pressures. The White House won little support among farm groups and lawmakers when it proposed a similar package of cuts last fall. Two farm lobbyists said the new package would be ignored, too. Agriculture committee leaders seem set on $23 billion in farm subsidy cuts. There is broad agreement that the direct payment will not be renewed. It is paid to landowners based on historical production of grain, cotton and soybeans. Farm income hit a record high in 2011, making the payments harder to justify. While the White House suggested a cap of 30 million acres for the Conservation Reserve, some proposals call for a ceiling of 25 or 26 million acres. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SCIENCE | VIRUSES

Decision time for bird flu researchers Research deadlock | Experts concerned about creation of lethal mutant viruses LONDON/GENEVA (Reuters) — Bird flu experts were expected to decide last week just how far scientists should go in creating lethal mutant viruses in the name of research. The World Health Organization meeting was intended to try to settle an unprecedented row over a call to ban publication of two scientific studies that detail how to mutate H5N1 bird flu viruses into a form that could cause a deadly human pandemic. However, experts say whatever the outcome, no amount of censorship, global regulation or shutting down of research projects could stop rogue scientists from getting the tools to create and release a pandemic H5N1 virus if they were intent on evil. “It doesn’t matter how much you restrict scientists from doing good, bad people can still do bad things,” said Wendy Barclay, an expert in flu virology at Imperial College London. It was hoped that the WHO meeting, planned for Feb. 16-17 in Geneva, would work out how to break a deadlock between scientists who have studied the mutations needed to make H5N1 transmit between mammals and U.S. biosecurity chiefs who want their work censored before it goes into scientific journals. There was no word of any agreement at Western Producer deadlines. The meeting was expected to be tense and highly secretive, considering that Dutch and American teams of scientists have found that just a small number of mutations would allow H5N1 to spread like ordinary flu between mammals and remain just as deadly as it is now. The WHO has said it is “deeply concerned about the potential negative consequences” of work by the two leading flu research teams. Flu researchers from around the world, more than 30 teams in all, declared a 60-day moratorium starting Jan. 20 on “any research involving highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses” that produce easily contagious forms of the virus. The WHO invited 22 people to last week’s meeting, including the researchers who carried out the work, editors of the two journals, Science and Nature, which were asked to hold publication, and representatives from the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB), which asked for the papers to be censored. Keiji Fukuda, the WHO’s assistant director-general for health security and environment who was to chair the meeting, said he was hoping to secure agreement on whether the studies should be published, in full or part, and who should have access to them. The scientific know-how is seen as vital for scientists to be able to develop vaccines, diagnostic tests and a nt i -v i ra l d r u g s t hat c o u l d b e deployed in the event of an H5N1 pandemic. “It is important that research on these viruses should continue,” Fukuda said. “They do pose a risk. There’s a lot of things we don’t know about them. The question is not really should we continue to do research ... but under what conditions can we do it so we don’t unnecessarily

create fears and risks.” Michael Osterholm, policy director at the Minnesota Center of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance and an NSABB member, said nothing would be solved in one meeting. “This is a complicated issue that requires a great deal of international input. It is not a simple yes or no,” he said. “We have no margin for error here.” The H5N1 virus, first detected in Hong Kong in 1997, remains entrenched among poultry in many countries, mainly in Asia, but also continues to be hard for humans to

catch. It is known to have infected nearly 700 people worldwide since 2003, killing half of them, a far higher fatality rate than the H1N1 swine flu which caused an influenza pandemic in 2009-10. Ron Fouchier, the scientist leading the Dutch team that gave H5N1 various genetic mutations and made it transmissible in mammals, argues the research must be published to help public health officials better prepare for a scenario where the virus could mutate and become more deadly, spreading from person to person via coughs and sneezes.

WORLD IN BRIEF INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS

in the U.S. Plains and Australia’s estimate of a record large harvest weighed on the market. “Australia will be competing in the world market through the end of the year even when the other origins come in,” said Adam Davis, a senior commodity analyst at Merricks Capital in Melbourne, referring to Australia’s wheat production forecast. “It is going to stretch Australian export infrastructure, prices are already reacting to high global prices.” Australia’s higher output forecast follows a U.S. Department of Agriculture estimate of a rise in global supplies. A USDA report last week showed the world ending stocks at 213.10 million tonnes in the 2011-12 crop year, up from the January outlook of 210.02 million tonnes.

Iran struggles to feed population: report KUALA LUMPUR/TEHRAN (Reuters) — More evidence has emerged of the crippling impact of new sanctions on Iran, with international traders saying Tehran is having trouble buying rice, cooking oil and other staples to feed its 74 million people weeks before an election. New U.S. financial sanctions imposed since the beginning of this year to punish Tehran over its nuclear program are playing havoc with Iran’s ability to buy imports and receive payment for its oil exports, commodities traders said. Iran denies that sanctions are causing serious harm, but investigations with commodities traders around the globe show serious disruptions to its imports. That is having a real impact on the streets of Iran, where prices for basic foodstuffs are soaring. Traders in Asia said that Malaysian exporters of palm oil, the source of half of Iran’s consumption of a food staple used to make margarine and confectionary, had halted sales to Iran because they could not get paid. That followed news that Iran had defaulted on payments for rice from top supplier India, and news last week that Ukrainian shipments of corn had been cut nearly in half. Rice is one of the main staples of the Iranian diet. With the rial currency plummeting, prices have more than doubled to $5 US a kilogram at bazaars in Iran from about $2 last year. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

RAPESEED

Analyst cuts Ukraine oilseed forecast HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — The double blow of bitterly cold winter weather and an autumn drought will cut Ukraine’s 2012 rapeseed crop to 1.05 million tonnes from 1.38 million tonnes in 2011, Hamburg-based oilseeds analysts Oil World has forecast. “This reflects very dry autumn conditions due to which more than 20 percent of the Ukrainian rapeseed area failed to emerge and recent winter kill temperatures, potentially resulting in additional irreversible damage to the already low crop,” Oil World said. Ukraine is a key rapeseed exporter, especially to Western Europe, and any fall in its crop will be bad news for edible oil and biodiesel producers. In January, Oil World had still forecast Ukraine’s 2012 rapeseed crop at 1.13 million tonnes. Ukrainian analysts said the fierce cold spell this winter has killed most of the winter barley and winter rapeseed crops and seriously damaged wheat in Ukraine’s eastern and southern regions but gave no precise crop forecasts.

Trail cold on brokerage When commodities brokerage MF Global imploded, the FBI and federal prosecutors launched an investigation to pursue what seemed obvious to outspoken regulators and lawmakers: laws were broken and crimes were committed. More than three months later, it is far from clear that anyone will face criminal charges over the disappearance of more than $600 million US in customer money as MF Global spiraled toward bankruptcy in the brokerage’s final, frantic days in the last week of October. So far, the MF Global investigation is not tracking the early progress of other high profile financial scandals such as RefCo, where former chair Phil Bennett was arrested within days of the disclosure that the futures firm had been hiding losses

for years. Lawyers and people familiar with the investigation of the firm that was run by former Goldman Sachs head Jon Corzine, say that even though the hunt is still on to find out if officials at MF Global intended to pilfer customer money in a desperate bid to keep the brokerage from failing, the trail at this point is growing cold. To date, scant evidence of criminal intent has emerged in company e-mails, no former or current employees have sought to cut a deal to provide testimony about potential wrongdoing and seasoned defence lawyers say they are not seeing the tell-tale signs of a hot criminal investigation.

Argentina soybean forecasts adjusted HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — German oilseeds analyst Oil World has cut its forecast of 2012 soybean crops in Brazil and Paraguay following drought in the two countries but raised its forecast for Argentina. Oil World said it had cut its forecast of Brazil’s 2012 soybean crop to 69.5 million tonnes from 70 million tonnes estimated on Jan. 31 and 72.8 million it forecast in December. Lack of rain means Brazil’s crop would be well down on the 75.3 million tonnes it harvested in 2011. Oil World also cut its forecast of Paraguay’s soybean crop to 4.6 million tonnes from six million tonnes estimated on Jan. 31 and 8.3 million tonnes harvested last year. The forecast cut was also made

because of drought. It raised its forecast of Argentina’s 2012 soybean crop to 47.0 million tonnes from 46.5 million tonnes forecast on Jan. 31 and 52 million tonnes forecast in December. This would still be down on the 49.2 million tonnes harvested in 2011 in Argentina. Recent rain had helped Argentine soybeans, Oil World said. The United States is the world’s largest soybean exporter, Brazil the second and Argentine the third. Paraguay is a smaller exporter but its volumes are important to world markets. “The South American soybean crop shortfall is going to raise the global dependence on U.S. soybeans in both March-August 2012 and in September-January 2012-13,” Oil World said. “We expect increasing purchases of U.S. soybeans from China and other countries in the months ahead.” FARM EQUIPMENT

Deere’s modest forecast overshadows earnings (Reuters) — Deere & Co.’s quarterly earnings beat Wall Street expectations, but shares of the world’s largest agricultural equipment maker fell after it did not raise its full-year forecast high enough to please investors. The company said that earnings rose nearly four percent in the first quarter ended on Jan. 31 as hefty demand and a four percent price hike on agricultural and construction machinery offset rising costs of production, materials and emissions regulations. The stronger-than-expected first quarter led the company to increase its full-year profit forecast by 2.3 percent to nearly $3.3 billion. But Deere had previously told analysts that first-quarter results would be lower than a year earlier because of higher costs. The earnings led some investors to expect a more sizable increase in the company’s fullyear forecast. Higher costs and unfavourable currency exchange will pressure results, Deere said, even though it expects sales for the year to rise 15 percent.

PA R I S , F r a n c e ( R e u t e r s ) — Monsanto will appeal a French court ruling that found it responsible for the poisoning of a farmer who inhaled a herbicide in what is the first such case to reach court in France. A court in Lyon ruled Feb. 13 that Monsanto was guilty of poisoning grain grower Paul Francois, who suffered from memory loss, headaches and stammering after inhaling Lasso in 2004. The farmer accused the company of not providing adequate safety warnings on the product label. “Monsanto is going to appeal this verdict. We are disappointed by the court’s decision,” said Yann Fichet, head of institutional relations at Monsanto France. “An in-depth examination of the case does not show in our view sufficient evidence of a causal link between the use of this herbicide and the symptoms reported by Mr. Francois.” Francois said his health problems were caused by inhaling Lasso while cleaning the tank of his crop sprayer. He blames Monsanto for not specifying on the label the presence of chlorobenzene, a chemical substance later detected in the farmer’s hair and urine. Lasso was banned in France in 2007 in line with a European Union directive. The product has also become less popular with farmers in other parts of the world. Monsanto’s leading herbicide is now Roundup, which it markets in conjunction with its genetically modified herbicide tolerant Roundup Ready crops. Monsanto’s appeal in the French court case will take up to a year to be heard.

ENVIRONMENT | OLDMAN WATERSHED COUNCIL

Lawyer calls for better vehicle regulation in wild areas Headwaters protection | Education, enforcement and user permits needed to protect sensitive wilderness regions BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Protecting headwaters is high on the priority list for the Oldman Watershed Council, a non-profit group designed to maintain and improve the Oldman River and its environs. Adam Driedzic, staff lawyer with the Environmental Law Centre, fears cumulative effects of all-terrain vehicles and other off-highway vehicles might damage those headwater areas vital to water supplies downstream. Speaking at an OWC landowners summit earlier this month, Driedzic said it might take a combination of education and enforcement to better regulate off-road vehicle users and better protect the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper reaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a real cumulative effect issue,â&#x20AC;? said Driedzic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of quadders on the landscape, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very regulated. I think this is an issue of the future. People have been talking about oil

and gas and forestry for so long that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that public land use has an impact, too.â&#x20AC;? Part of the appeal for ATV users is the connection with wild areas and the ability to access public lands from multiple points. The large area and access involved makes enforcement a challenge, Driedzic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OHVs (off-highway vehicles) are marketed as something you can use to go anywhere and make your own trail. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole myth of the wilderness. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize this is not pristine wilderness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an impacted landscape and the impact gets worse

ADAM DRIEDZIC LAWYER

the more people go off trail.â&#x20AC;? Brent Hodgson, president of the Alberta Off-Highway Vehicle Association, said his group has advocated for a trail system for10 years. He agreed that recreational use has an effect on public lands, including

headwater areas, but so do other uses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a footprint in the landscape,â&#x20AC;? he said. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission and principles include respect for the environment, sharing of trails and the belief that motorized recreation is a legitimate use of public land. Driedzic said roads created by forestry, pipelines and transmission lines create trails for off-roaders that can last far longer than the entities they were originally built to serve. He thinks a combination of edu-

cation and enforcement will be needed in the future to protect sensitive areas. Under the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new pubic land administration regulation, which came into effect last September, parts of public areas can be closed or permits required from recreational users, he said. However, enforcement remains â&#x20AC;&#x153;highly discretionary,â&#x20AC;? he added. Restrictions could also be applied through a requirement for a licence or permit to use an off-road vehicle on public lands, similar to that required for national park access.

Herd quarantine unlikely BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A single case of atypical scrapie was confirmed in an Alberta sheep in January. Dr. Bob Cooper, a veterinary program specialist with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, said the case was discovered as part of the national surveillance program to eradicate scrapie in Canada. The surveillance program tests samples of sheep and goats for scrapie in an effort to understand where the disease is found in Canada and how to eliminate it. Scrapie is a fatal disease that affects the central nervous system of sheep and goats. It is in the same family as BSE in cattle and chronic wasting disease in deer and elk.

Blackleg is common in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and has been consistently found in over half the canola ďŹ elds in provincial disease surveys. What is surprising is that Blackleg is an increasing concern despite the fact that R-rated varieties are being seeded. There are a variety of tools recommended for reducing Blacklegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on yield. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always best to rotate canola one in four years, growers should also rotate R-rated varieties and be vigilant about scouting for the disease. Rotation combined with the use of a fungicide can also be an excellent strategy against Blackleg. The decision is up to the grower as to whether the return on investment demands the additional protection delivered by a fungicide, but increasingly it is becoming a more important tool to consider.

and stems early on at the 4-leaf stage, then subsequently as stem cankers in the mature plant. There is no cure once Blackleg appears and so a preventative fungicide treatment is strongly recommended. One effective option for control of Blackleg is HEADLINEÂŽ fungicide from BASF. What differentiates HEADLINE from other fungicides are the additional benefits BASF calls AgCelenceâ&#x201E;˘. AgCelence is unique to HEADLINE and has been observed by growers to increase yield with or without the presence of disease. Over the past three years, grower trials have also shown that the greater the yield potential of a canola crop, the greater that yield increased with HEADLINE. Growers also report seeing greener, larger leaves, taller plants with more pods and stronger stems that help improve harvestability.

The importance of canola to Canadian growers is easily seen in the numbers. The Canola Council of Canada reports over 18 million total acres harvested in 2011, an increase of over 42% in ďŹ ve years. With increasing acres due mostly to tighter rotations, Blackleg has again become a concern. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concern that is growing. Shortened rotations put more pressure on resistant (R-rated) canola varieties, currently the primary defense against the disease in Western Canada. If genetic resistance breaks down, Blackleg will become a problem for growers looking to maximize their canola production.

When HEADLINE is added with any canola system* herbicide at the 2-6 leaf stage, the greater the yield potential, the greater the crop response and yield increase.

Blackleg is a fungal disease in canola caused by the pathogen, Leptosphaeria maculans. Symptoms appear as greyish white lesions with black spots (pycnidia, which contain spores) on leaves

With tighter canola rotations and the growing presence of Blackleg increasing the pressure on current R-rated canola varieties, a preventative fungicide application is due to become more common.

RESEARCH | WIND STUDY

Wind statistics not extraordinary Damaging storms | Other factors play role in devastating grass fires and windstorms

ind is Chris Hugenholtz’s family heritage. His Dutch grandfather created his own miniature wind turbine to power radios that supplied information to the resistance during the Second World War. Thus the power and importance of wind was ingrained in the family culture, augmented in the young Hugenholtz by family sailing and wind surfing activities. But it wasn’t until Hugenholtz entered academia that the wind blew him in the direction of its study. The University of Lethbridge assistant professor and geomorphologist now teaches the only wind science course in Canada. Hugenholtz, an Ottawa native who divides his time between the University of Calgary and the U of L as the Cenovus research chair in environmental design, has learned that southern Alberta is the ideal place to study wind. “I’m always the one excited when it’s windy — what’s going on, what it’s doing, the electricity it’s creating or the changes that it’s imposing on the landscape and that sort of thing,” he said. “The other thing is it’s so violent at times that you can’t escape it. You get it in your ears, it elevates stress, it takes your breath away.” Hugenholtz moved to Western Canada in 2002, completed his PhD in Calgary and then accepted a fellowship. He and his family later moved to Lethbridge. “When we did move down there in 2007, I really started to understand everyone’s irritation, and my excitement, for the wind. It’s just a phenomenal force. Here, we really are characterized by the wind.” The fall and winter of 2011-12 have many southern Albertans talking about greater frequency and force of windstorms. Lack of snow combined with the drying forces of winter and wind have sparked numerous grass fires in the region. A November grass fire with winds of 100 to 140 km-h threatened parts of Lethbridge and closed downtown Calgary because of debris falling from high-rise buildings. Homes and buildings across much of southern Alberta also sustained damage in that wind event. Several January grass fires spread by high winds damaged farm properties, homes and fields near Raymond, Fort Macleod, Nanton and Walsh. Hugenholtz has checked the wind statistics. “When we look at the extremes that do occur here, they did not line up on anything exciting,” he said of late 2011 and early 2012 windstorms. “It has not been out of the ordinary, despite the devastating events of fires here, south and north.” He appreciates the research opportunities provided in a place where gravel can blow off the road and opening vehicle doors on windy days must be strategically done. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Chris Hugenholtz says Alberta provides plenty of opportunities to study the wind and its effects on sand, soil and plants. | FILE PHOTO Some of his current research involves studying wind effects on sand, but there isn’t much bare sand in this windy region where conservation tillage has taken hold and native prairie plants cling tenaciously to the soil. Instead, he has to go to New Mexico to study it.

rairie farmers have moved from sodbusters to dustbusters. A research paper published in January shows the increase in

direct seeding and reduction in summerfallow have dramatically reduced dust in the air. That may seem obvious to some farmers, but research undertaken by Thomas Fox, Thomas Barchyn and Chris Hugenholtz confirms a marked

reduction in airborne dust since 1990. Hugenholtz, a University of Lethbridge assistant professor and researcher, said the study was prompted by studies elsewhere in the world that showed major increases in dust access=subscriber section=news,none,none

oil erosion is a good thing, says geomorphologist Chris Hugenholtz. It’s a good thing if you happen to be among the species that live in one of 120 sandhill areas of the Prairies because erosion preserves that particular ecosystem. For farming, soil erosion is a bad thing because of its nutrient loss. It’s all in the perspective. Hugenholtz, a professor at the universities of Lethbridge and Calgary, has studied the effects of wind on prairie sandhills and found that climate change and to a lesser extent improved soil conservation efforts are harming species that live in sandhill areas. “They need wind erosion to sustain

the case, they attributed the marked change in 1990 primarily to the effects of conservation tillage. Farmers, doff your hats. “We believe they effectuated that change, which showed up in the dust at about 1990,” Hugenholtz said.

“The dust really changed, probably because enough of the land coverage had either adopted direct seeding or reduced summerfallow to really kind of suppress dust from that point forward.” Agriculture Canada’s analysis of till-

age trends shows no-till and reduced till practices became a statistical factor in the early to mid-1980s. Benefits of increased crop yield associated with moisture conservation, reduced labour and reduced soil erosion became well documented. “No till and reduced till systems have and will continue to be significant beneficial management practices across Canada,” said an Agriculture Canada report on reduced and zero tillage. However, it also noted some constraints to further adoption, including excess crop residue, weed control issues and special crops that require different field operations. Proof of benefits

their habitat. I think nearly a quarter of the endangered prairie species reside in these areas and they require open sand habitat, and the only way to keep it open is for wind erosion to occur.” The Prairies experienced massive and relatively frequent grass fires

before European settlement, as well as grazing by large bison herds. Both those phenomena have disappeared, and the climate has changed. “With the push on climate to make things greener, longer growing seasons and the removal of key disturbances, those are the main factors, I believe, that our research suggests have allowed these sandhills to become very green and verdant.” But green and verdant conditions don’t suit some species, he added, and the result is reduced biodiversity. Vegetation is slowly taking over many sandhill areas. Though that may be good for rangeland and grazing, there is a trade off in terms of species.

Although there are still dust storms on the Prairies and dust in the air, Hugenholtz’s research shows there is definitely less dust than the pre-1990 period. He said the information is useful for future planning, but also for its confirmation. “We often lack demonstrated evidence of efforts in soil conservation. You can see them sometimes at the field scale, but it’s hard to see it region wide. I think the outcome of this is really of demonstrating the success of (soil conservation) efforts.” The research paper, Successes of Soil Conservation in the Canadian Prairies Highlighted by a Historical Decline in Blowing Dust, notes that 1990 was a threshold year, when soil conservation efforts materialized through a marked reduction in dust. “This suggests that farmers on the Canadian Prairies are better equipped to handle conditions with moderate climatic erosion forcing now than in the 1980s,” the paper reads. “However, results also show that it may be difficult to completely eliminate wind erosion; extreme droughts and/or windy periods will always result in some wind erosion as in the droughts of 2001–02, for example.… “Our interpretation is that the strong reduction of dust after 1990 represents a region-wide threshold crossing, whereby the progressive shift in soil conservation practices began effectuating a change in the dust frequency.” The report is available online.

HYDRAULIC FRACTURING | EFFECTS

Public fears repercussions of fracking Fracturing earth below | Hydraulic fracturing is used to retrieve oil and gas reserves trapped in sandstone and shale BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Roberto Aguilera wants his students to get out of the lab and see first hand how the industry works. Education about the industry is needed, said Aguilera, a fracturing engineer who spent decades in the oil fields before becoming Conoco Phillips chair in tight gas engineering in the University of Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Schulich School of Engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the problem is we have not done a good job educating the people about these issues,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way I see it as a citizen is that we have to reach an equilibrium between the needs we have for energy and the risk we are taking with some of these things.â&#x20AC;Ś I am not saying it does not exist, but based on the science we are examining in my research lab, it is limited.â&#x20AC;? Much of his work develops models to study fracturing as well as the growth of vertical and lateral fractures under the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface. Public concerns over the effects on ground water have become an international issue. There is a two-year moratorium on fracking in Quebec to address public concerns and develop regulations. However, Aguilera said Alberta has decades of experience in exploration and drilling with sound rules and clear regulations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some of the areas where I see some problems, it is lack of clear regulations. That is a blessing we have here.â&#x20AC;? A major concern is the impact on ground water, but wells may be fractured at depths of 7,000, 12,000 or 14,000 feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on what we see, strictly from a scientific point of view, we see the possibilities of these fractures reaching ground water are very limited,â&#x20AC;? he said. Groundwater is also protected with a casing that is cemented in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the construction of the well is done properly, and there is a lot of experience in the industry doing this, then the only possibility for the contamination will be actually if the fracture grows vertically and reaches the ground water,â&#x20AC;? he said. After examining thousands of fracks and looking at formations that were hydraulically fractured, Aguilera found that the fractures did not grow high enough to reach the ground water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that happening,â&#x20AC;? he said. The fractures are narrow and are often less than a millimetre wide. The gas molecules are also small, so they do not need a large crack through which to flow. The fracture will close when the work is done. Hydraulic fracturing is the only way to retrieve the resource because many oil and gas reser ves are trapped in rock such as sandstone and shale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These formations are very tight and permeability is very low,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way you will be able to get any kind of commercial production from there is if you fracture.â&#x20AC;? In the case of shale gas, the natural access=subscriber section=news,none,none

gas was generated in the shale and remained there. The shale is the source rock and the reservoir rock. In the case of unconventional gas, it migrated into the tight formation from where it was generated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hydrocarbons are moving until they get trapped,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get trapped and sometimes naturally the oil reaches the surface, and you have a seepage.â&#x20AC;? This has nothing to do with fracking. Aguilera said the subject of earthquakes following fracturing is also

under investigation, but the Earth is always moving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is Mother Nature in action. The Earth is never quiet. It is always pulsating, and this is being measured continuously with different devices. It is unlikely this fracturing it is going to produce any major problems.â&#x20AC;? The Alberta Geological Survey launched a large study in 2009 to understand the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seismicity. The first step was to set up seismic stations with the universities to monitor ground disturbance throughout the province.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to know what is normal before you can say what is abnormal or what might be of interest to people who say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what is that causing that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? said seismologist Virginia Stern from the survey. The federal government has monitored earthquakes since the 1920s and set up seismic stations at Leduc, Alta., Suffield, Alta., and southeastern British Columbia in the 1960s. More stations were added 20 years ago, and in 2010 the geological survey group and the University of Calgary added new stations at Grande

Prairie, Manning, High Level, Fort Smith, Raymond, Priddis and Medicine Hat. These provide close to real time information. The University of Alberta installed a network in the central part of the province in 2005, but the data is collected only twice a year. The information will be merged so that researchers can study the seismicity patterns throughout Alberta. B.C. and California have high seismicity, but activity in Alberta is barely discernible. However, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the Earth is not moving.

NEWS “In Alberta, since they have been recording earthquakes, there have only been somewhere between 700 and 800 earthquakes. Most of these have not even been felt,” Stern said. The information gathered in this study will be useful to the Energy Resources Conservation Board, which regulates the oil industry in Alberta, to determine what is normal or elevated activity in an area. Stern said she is not in a position to judge whether fracking is responsible for earth tremors, but added the stimulations are far below anything that could be felt. “I think what people are concerned with is if it induces natural events on faults that are nearby,” she said. “Those would be positive. It isn’t the fracking that they are worried about. It is what may occur during the fracking process.” Stern wants more stations to continue monitoring what is going on.

Moratorium sought until safety proven Acreage owners and ranchers northwest of Calgary want a moratorium on multi-stage hydraulic fracturing in their district until the practice is proven safe to aquifers and wetlands. The Protecting Our Water and Ecological Resources Society (POWERS) is inviting others to share their experiences with fracking. “We are seeking a moratorium until independent scientists can prove that it is safe, and we don’t think they ever will,” said Patty Pickup, a foundaccess=subscriber section=news,none,none

er of the group. Fracking is a process that releases oil and natural gas trapped in rocks far below the Earth’s surface. Pickup claims neighbours are having water problems and health concerns and experienced earthquakes last summer, which they think may be linked to fracking. They also want to know the cumulative environmental effects of well pads located close together, flaring of natural gas and the possibility of earth tremors damaging pump jacks and well casings. They want base line tests on their water wells and a geological investigation to see whether tremors were present. Pickup wants to mobilize people who were too trusting of the energy industry in the past. “It is high time that we try and get the word out. We just ask people who are involved in agriculture to really pay attention to this fracking issue,” she said. “We trusted when we never should have trusted.” The Lochend Industry Producers Group, a consortium of five regional oil companies, is doing most of the fracking work using a technique called multi stage hydraulic horizontal fracturing. The fracturing is done in multiple stages because horizontal legs can go down 3,000 metres or more. Mike Dawson of the Canadian Society of Unconventional Resources said there is not enough energy from the pumping equipment at the surface to fracture all of that length of well at one time. However, the technique alarms rancher Nielle Hawkwood, who lives in the district. “It is entirely different from the kind of fracking that has been going on in the province for 50 years. It is much more intensive, much more high energy and it is really heavy industry,” she said. Hawkwood and her husband, Howard, plan to test their wells even though they have never experienced difficulties. “We are going to have our water tested privately and pay a fair amount to do it, but we want to have a base line to show it hasn’t been contaminated by the activities in the neighbourhood,” she said. She claims horizontal fracking requires more water and chemicals than a normal well, and pollution is possible when natural gas is burned off. Natural gas is a byproduct of the oil. “It puts all these chemicals under the substructure, under our land.” The Hawkwoods’ land is on top of the Paskapoo Aquifer, which extends from Rocky Mountain House to south of Calgary. “We are a watershed for Calgary. If our water is contaminated, water flows and it will be going into the Bow River. Upwards of a million people get their water from there,” she said. The companies have held an open house with residents and assured them their wells are safe and that the gas would be taken away in a pipeline that has yet to be built.

SQUATTER’S RIGHTS

FRACKING | REGULATIONS

Fracking regulations stringent, misconceptions abound: expert Lack of information | Some jurisdictions lack proper regulations, raising public fears BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Some Albertans complain that the provincial energy industry is not well regulated, but the watchdogs at the Energy Resources Conservation Board disagree. Bob Curran of the ERCB said ground water protection, drilling and hydraulic fracturing are highly regulated. “Some of the complaints are based on what is happening in other jurisdictions. Their regulations are not the same as ours,” he said. “We have very clear and stringent regulations in place that are protective of ground water regardless of what type of well you are drilling.” For example, cement casings must be built around wells, and all companies are required to disclose the kind of fluids they are using during fracturing. Companies are also required to conduct base line tests on water wells if landowners request it. Fracking is gaining international attention, but the technology has been around for decades. About 167,000 drills have been fractured in Alberta. “This is a very common technology utilized in Alberta,” Curran said.

“It is just because of problems in other jurisdictions that suddenly it has come to the fore here, but we haven’t experienced any of those problems here in Alberta.” If they did occur, he said, the ERCB has the power to shut down facilities but not levy fines. Mike Dawson, president of the Canadian Society for Unconventional Resources, agreed that there are misconceptions about what is allowed in Alberta. “Obviously, when you do anything there are potential risks, but it is really important for the ranchers and others to have a really good understanding of the factual information rather than relying on misinformation. That is a critical component.” He said the industry is not without its faults. “What has gone wrong is that the industry has been late in terms of providing the information about the technologies that are used in an easy to understand manner,” he said. “Because we haven’t been out in the forefront of telling people this is what it is going to be and this is what the risks are, people are left to their own devices.” Companies are required to inform

landowners of what they are doing, but farmers and ranchers may have already checked websites and are f a m i li a r w i t h i s s u e s t hat hav e occurred elsewhere. “Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying the industry is pristine in any way,” he said. “I am saying that industry needs to ensure that the stakeholders are provided with factual information.” The fracking problems that do occur are often caused by faulty well construction. “Be that as it may, that is still no excuse for companies to have a poorly constructed well. Companies have to strive to improve their operations,” he said. “We think as a whole the industry can improve. It is important that all of the employers and employer representatives are armed with the factual information about the technologies and what the risks are should there be a mistake.” Some jurisdictions have placed a moratorium on fracturing and shale gas drilling until they learn more, but Dawson said this may be to appease the public rather than research the technology. a cmore c e sinformation, s = s u b s visit c r i www. ber For section=news,none,none ercb.ca and www.csur.ca. access=subscriber section=news,none,non section=news,none,none

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — U.S. beef exports achieved record levels last year even though restrictions continue in some lucrative markets like Japan and the European Union. The U.S. sold 2.83 billion pounds of beef valued at $4.7 billion to more than 130 countries. Exports were up 23 percent last year and expected to increase another 11 percent this year. BSE restrictions dating back to 2003 may actually have forced the Americans to scan the globe and start doing business in places it had not tried before like Russia, the Middle East and smaller Asian countries, said Brett Stuart, research analyst for Cattlefax. “One of the things that BSE did was prompted us to develop those other markets by necessity,” he said during market sessions at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association annual meeting in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 1-4. In total, the U.S. exported 15 billion lb. of beef, pork and poultry, resulting in record prices paid to producers. If trade was blocked, the U.S. would struggle with the unexpected surplus. “What would happen if we had to consume another 15 billion lb. in the domestic market? We wouldn’t be enjoying these prices,” said Kevin Good of Cattlefax. Total world meat exports are 53 billion lb. or 24 million tonnes. The U.S. share of world trade is 28 percent. Brazil has 22 percent while Canada had seven percent of the business. Canada and Mexico accepted record amounts of U.S. beef. Exports to Canada at the end of November were 174,122 tonnes valued at $940 million, up 27 percent in volume and 43 percent in value. It was a record for volume and value and sets the stage for a $1 billion yearend total, reported the U.S. Meat Export Federation. Mexico accepted 234,888 tonnes worth $902 million. A weaker peso slowed the export pace at the end of the year. Canadian live cattle imports to the United States declined, with 76,164 Canadian feeders shipped last year, compared to 190,977 in 2010. However, Mexico has endured drought for several years and exported 16 percent more feeders in 2011. About 1.4 million were placed in U.S. feedlots. Japan continues to be the premium market and the United States is confident the age restriction on cattle will be raised to under 30 months from the current 21 months and younger requirement. Traceability will remain important, said Dan Halstrom of the federation. “Even if we go to 30 months, there is still a demand to know where that meat came from and how the meat was age verified,” he said. If the age requirement changes, that could add $50 per head in value and would allow another 134 million lb. of American beef into Japan. It could also sell more tongue, small intestine and tripe used in the barbecue restaurant sector. Currently, access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Australia is providing much of that. At 30 cents per lb., the United States is looking at a market of $47 million worth of intestines. “Variety meats are worth a lot of money,” Halstrom said. “Once we get back in with (under 30 months), this is probably the biggest value proposition we will see.” Other access issues continue. Taiwan does not want beef or pork containing residues from ractopamine, a beta agonist fed to cattle and pigs to promote lean muscle growth. It has detected 48 violations from

eight different beef sources and 11 pork violations. “Ractopamine issues have the potential to derail some of the success we have been seeing,” said Halstrom. He estimates beef exports would have doubled if not for the residue issue. But global beef prices will rise again in 2012 while production has declined worldwide for five consecutive years. “We have added 300 million people to the planet in the last five years and we have taken 3.4 million tonnes of

beef out of circulation. When we started reducing production, prices got extremely volatile,” said Stuart. “For 2012, we can expect more of the same.” Brazil is one of the few nations expanding its cow herd but with improved disposable incomes, more is being eaten at home rather than exported to Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Its exports dropped by 10 percent. Major growth has appeared in the halal trade to the Muslim world, a market Brazil once dominated. Saudi

Arabia, Egypt and Jordan are buying offal products, ungraded and Select grades mostly for food service. They are accepting cattle of all ages. The European Union set a 20,000 tonne non-tariff quota in 2009 for hormone-free beef. In 2011, the U.S. shipped 13,257 tonnes and is now the third largest supplier behind Argentina and Brazil. The quota is due to expand to 48,000 tonnes by mid-year. The primary exporters to the U.S. were Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

U.S. BEEF QUALITY | SURVEY

Latest beef audit shows drop in chemical residues, bruising Improvements seen since 2005 audit | Industry officials were asked to rank the importance of carcass size and quality, such as marbling access=subscriber section=news,none,none

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After 20 years of auditing beef quality, the U.S. cattle industry is showing improvement but still faces challenges. The most recent national beef quality audit is scheduled for release later this spring but the first phase was circulated to show what progress has been made since 1991. “With our benchmarking effort, we tried to see where we were having the greatest success and what were those things we needed to improve most,” said meat scientist Gary Smith of

Colorado State University. Preliminary results were released at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association annual meeting in Nashville, Tenn., Feb.1-4. Conducted every five years, each audit has found fewer defects like bruises, abscesses and overweight, said Smith. The first audit found chemical residue violations in four percent of all carcasses sampled. High residue levels were also present in lamb and swine at that time. Today, chemical residues are detected in fewer than one in 10,000 carcasses sampled. Since 1989, the number of lesions

left by bruises and injections was down by 20 percent. Education programs through the voluntary beef quality assurance program were launched 20 years ago to teach proper injection techniques and handle animals better to prevent injuries. The 2005 audit found 77.5 percent of all cattle slaughtered had no defects. That audit said defects cost nearly $280 per head. The 2011 calculations will be available later. The 2011 audit surveyed government, feeders, packers, food distributors and retailers to define quality and their willingness to pay for cer-

tain attributes. Those dealing with live cattle often had different goals than those selling beef to the consumer, said Keith Belk of Colorado State University. Cattle’s production history was important to all surveyed but retailers and distributors valued it most because they deal directly with consumers. Composition of the carcass most concerned packers who are trying to discourage overweight or damaged carcasses. When asked to rank the most important genetic qualities, four of five groups surveyed said black hide

is the most important attribute rather than marbling or tenderness. “We were surprised by that answer,” Belk said. Some qualities like food safety are non-negotiable and are expected. Retailers and restaurants expect processors to test for pathogens to ensure the product is free of bacteria like E.coli. Four of the five groups listed humane handling as important and all equated sustainability with being environmentally friendly. They were also asked about what qualities were worth a premium. Feeders rated eating quality highly and said they were willing to pay more for that as opposed to weight and size. The cooler assessment of carcasses showed a wide range of quality and size. “The biggest change we have seen for this audit is the volume of information being captured by various instrument grading approaches,” said Jeff Sable of Texas A & M University. The computerized system assesses carcass quality and has provided millions of pieces of data about beef going through processing plants. The survey showed all plants are handling custom programs. All plants split their work week into separate shifts to handle American, Mexican and Canadian cattle separately or set aside time to process hormone free or natural beef, age and source verified programs, branded programs or export beef. The survey found more heifers are being killed. In 2005, steers made up nearly 64 percent of the kill and in 2011, 62 percent were males and the rest were heifers. S ome for m of identification, including batch or lot numbers, import tags or individual identification, was attached to 97.4 percent of the animals, up from 90 percent in 2005. In 2011, 61 percent of the cattle had predominantly black hides, compared to 56 percent in 2005. About 12 percent were age and source verified. The Americans use the A40 system to separate youthful carcasses for the Japanese market where beef must be derived from animals less than 21 months of age. More than 10 percent of carcasses qualified under this system. In 2005, six percent had side brands and last year, nine percent were branded. In 2005, more than one-third of the carcasses had bruises where the meat was trimmed away while last year, only 23 percent had blemishes. The decrease in bruises was attributed to better cattle handling and transportation. Most bruises were found in the loin and rib area. Carcasses continue to get bigger. The average was 825 pounds and 82.7 percent of cattle fit the preferred weights of 600 to 950 lb. “Now 700 lb. is a light carcass,” Sable said. The smallest was 300 lb. and the biggest was 1,330 lb. It was a steer that graded Choice and had an 18 square inch rib-eye area. The largest rib-eye measured 26.7 sq. inches in a steer that graded Select with a carcass weight of 1,165 lb. The average rib-eye was 13.8 sq. inches.

LOUISVILLE, Ken. — Three Canadian companies have won agricultural engineering awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers this year. The annual awards recognize the top 50 innovations in machines or processes that had a significant effect on agricultural or food production and were introduced in the past year. This year, Winnipeg’s MacDon Industries won for its new crop cutting and conveying system in the MacDon R85 Rotary Disc Header. The hay header uses a full width, over-shot, feed auger mounted behind 10 co-rotating cutting discs. The auger is in two sections with a centre mounted support that is attached to the back of the cutterbar cradle. At 16 feet wide, the unit can flex to accommodate variations in the field. Because the feed auger covers the entire header width, the cutting discs are set up to maximize the crop throughput, adding capacity and cutting quality. The other two awards went to Quebec companies. One, by Dion of Boisbriand, was for a rotary corn head for pull-type forage harvesters including New Holland’s 900, FP230 and 240, Deere 3955 and 3975 and Gehl 75 and 85 series, as well as Dion’s own machines. The Dion F64 provides uniform crop feeding, without regard for row spacing or direction, by using a set of unique gathering drums and conveying chains. The Development Forage Equipment header uses heavy-duty O-ring type chains for crop gathering, and the hardened steel cutter knives are driven by belts for smooth operation. The unit is sold as a user installable kit. For more information, visit www. dionmachineries.com. Sync2 pump A piston pump from GEA Houle in Drummondville won for its ability to move manure liquid that contains solid content. The Sync2 is a twin cylinder, reversible hydraulic driven pump

The twin pump provides a pulsefree flow that can be managed in downstream separating, storage or placement into a digester. The ability to vary the hydraulic flow provides variable flow rates that make it possible to install the pump into existing barn operations without significant re-plumbing.

The pumps are capable of high evacuation line pressures of up to 111 pounds per sq. inch in the fourinch model, resulting in the ability to move material several kilometres. The three-inch model, when paired with a 7.5 horsepower motor, can reach flow rates of more than 500 litres per minute at 63 p.s.i. The twoinch version with a variable rate hydraulic pump can flow as little as

75 litres through the six-inch discharge. The units are easily serviced with basic hand tools and feature steel flapper doors under each piston for reduced plugging and service. For more information, visit www. gea-farmtechnologies.com. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

PRODUCTION Good fit on Prairies Many of the AE50 winners for 2012 are a good fit for prairie agriculture. Douglas Prairie of Raven Industries said the introduction of Omniseed fulfills his company’s goal of developing a multi-product, variable rate, towerless RTK system. The company from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, began as a weather balloon company in the 1950s and now manufactures electronics, plastic films and precision agriculture tools. It still makes balloons, but they are now used for military surveillance. Raven also builds many of the valves and flow controls used by other manufacturers for fertilizer application. ASABE recognized Omniseed as one of the few variable rate systems that could manage the complex, single pass seeding requirements in the Canadian West, Australia and the Washington Palouse region.

build around a nozzle body. It all adds up to variability in the rates and cutoff times,” he said. The Hypro E xpress end cap improves boom shut down from two to 10 times and also has a plug that can be removed for boom flushing and cleaning. Hypro also won for its Scorpio solenoid nozzle body valve. It mounts on the wet boom using three-quarter inch plumbing and can provide instant on and off control. The simple, two-wire system doesn’t need to have reversed polarity or other wiring to control the highly serviceable valve. A rare earth magnet does most of the holding when it’s open, meaning the valve draws little power. The valve closes when the power stops, ensuring that it fails safe if there is a wiring issue on the boom. The valve unthreads from the housing and can be cleaned with the seat replaceable.

run 2.5 times as much product through its body, uses 1,600 times less power than other nozzle mounted valves and can be used with most of the available controllers capable of sectional control without the need for separate power and control circuits. The units have an LED light that indicate they are functioning. Smartphone controls

Loadout Technologies of Indiana, another winner in Louisville, has a yellow box that is capable of many things.

shut down the grain or fertilizer flow without leaving the cab. Neil Mylet designed the system in his family’s barn. “After university I wanted to farm, but needed something else as well. My family farms 5,000 acres of corn and beans in Indiana. I wanted a business that is based on the farm and could still be involved in agriculture,” he said. “I have bad allergies to grain dust and so being able to stay in the (truck) cab makes life better and it means faster loading times with less labour too.” The tool is able to run slides on an overhead hopper bin or auger. The compact WiFi driven system comes in a yellow poly case, hence the name Yellow Box, and mounts wherever the camera and wiring for the grain handling equipment can be mutually located.

The system combines the Omniseed software with up to five small, $600 hydraulic piston product metering motors and drives it with the Raven Viper Pro 10.4 inch screen field computer. Raven won an AE50 award last year when it put the metering motors on corn planters. The company has collaborated with Saskatoon’s Agtron to add up to 240 of that company’s daisy-chained run-blockage sensors. It has also added low bin and shank down-pressure sensors, fan and shaft sensors, liquid and anhydrous ammonia systems and eight runs of sectional control when paired with a Seed Hawk drill. Raven is offering variable rate retrof i t k i t s f o r Mo r r i s, B o u r g a u l t , Flexicoil, New Holland, Case, Seed Master and Deere. Omniseed can be monitored from the farm office when put on the Slingshot, cellular RTK and telematics systems, with field maps sent directly to the Viper Pro console.

BUMPER CROPS. THEY’RE NAMED AFTER IT.

Hypro improves shut down time Hypro’s AE50 award started with the realization that there was a problem with wet boom systems. “They took too long to shut down when small orifice tips were installed,” said company spokesperson John Lang. “Ten seconds from the time you cut them off until they stop spraying is a lot of distance at 14 m.p.h. … Even at 10 m.p.h., five seconds is 73 feet.” He designed an end of boom unit that bleeds off the air without losing pressure. “The air collects at the end of the booms, sometimes large bubbles

And there is no bulky harness to run to the tractor.” The motors draw three to 4.2 amps, so he offers and recommends a supplemental 65 amp, hydraulically driven alternator in any application above 12 rows. The farm-based business has sold 1,200 units since it started development three years ago. “All of the folks who installed the prototypes bought more units this year,” said Graham. Monosem will be offering the Graham variable rate drives as a factory option on its planters next season. Kits are available to retrofit all six of the major planter brands. Graham said the next step is to drive several seed rows with a single motor and use linear actuators to control the planting rate. Priced at $950 per row and $950 for the touch screen controller, if needed, the system makes variable rate planting affordable, said Graham. “We’ve got a good idea that is cheaper and easier than installing multiple electric clutches, hydraulic units and it gets rid of all those chains,” he said. “Something the zero-tillers can appreciate as they get off the tractor to replace for the umpteenth time.

New liquid seed treatmen Awaken ST available this spring | Field trials show zinc also helps root growth BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Placing nutrients as close to the seed as possible without risking damage has been the Holy Grail of fertility specialists for decades. Placing some of that nutrient right on the seed surface might be the ultimate solution, especially when dealing with micro-nutrients most essential to germination and early plant development. Awaken ST, a liquid seed treatment with a high concentration of zinc, has recently received approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and will be available to prairie farmers this spring, said Eric Gregory, product manager for United Agri Products Canada. “Awaken ST obtained an emergence of 71.3 wheat plants per two sq. feet of row in trials conducted at North Dakota State University by researcher Joel Ransom in 2009,” Gregory said. “The only two formulas with better emergence contained an experimental Loveland Products component called LI6194, which looks very promising but is still years away from registration.”

The other treatment was an American product for small grains called Dyna Shield, which Gregory said is similar to the Canadian product Raxil. The untreated check had an emergence of 64 plants per two sq. feet of row. Come harvest, the straight Awaken ST wheat led the way with 60.8 bushels per acre, followed by the straight LI6194 at 58.8 bu. per acre. The untreated check yielded at 55.9 bu. per acre. In addition to the documented yield, Gregory said the visual difference in the heads indicates that the Awaken ST plants are healthier than non-treated plants. “There was one trial in North Dakota where Awaken ST without the LI6194 had a nine bu. advantage over other treatments, but that’s not normal. That one was a real sweetheart trial.” Trials in the prairie provinces in the past four years show that Awaken ST on wheat gives a four to five percent yield increase. Gregory said producers realize plants that get an early start and experience good health in the early stages stand a better chance of producing more grain, compared to plants that struggle in the early stages. “Awaken ST starts to work the same day the treated seed goes into the ground. Early root development is better and there’s greater root biomass,” he said. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

t uses zinc to boost wheat emergence, yields “We can’t bring dead seed back to life, but we can increase the number of plants that successfully germinate and grow to maturity. And it continues working through the four to five leaf stage.” Zinc constitutes five percent of the Awaken ST formula, along with lesser traces of copper, boron, manganese, iron and molybdenum. These are all essential for photosynthesis. If any are in short supply, the rate of photosynthesis is curtailed. “Zinc is the main component. It’s the precursor to auxins. Auxin is the Greek word for growth.” Auxins promote cell elongation and cell division, which is what makes up growth. The faster it happens, the faster the plant grows. Gregor y said auxins promote growth of the root hairs in the early stages, which is the key to nutrient uptake from the soil. If zinc on the seed surface promotes auxins, which creates more root hairs, then the plant gets a quicker start in life. Research at the University of Wales measured auxins in corn plants, comparing untreated plants to plants with a 0.1 percent zinc concentrate and plants with an agricultural crop additive (ACA). Awaken ST is classified as an ACA, meaning it is a non-conventional fertilizer usually comprising a blend of elements. The metric unit of measurement for auxins is the picogram (pg), which is one trillionth of a gram. They’re small and hard to measure. Untreated corn tissue had 264 pg of auxins, while plants with a 0.1 percent treatment had 430 pg of auxins. Corn treated with the ACA Awaken ST containing zinc ammonium acetate had 620 pg of auxins.

“Zinc deals with auxins and root hair development to enhance nutrient uptake, but ammonium acetate plays a totally different role,” he said. “Ammonium acetate is an extraction agent. It functions in the soil, not in the plant. We call it nature’s mining agent. We put it on the seed and it immediately affects the soil surrounding the seed. It helps the soil release nutrients so the roots can take them in.” Gregory said the basic Awaken ST formula has been around for decades, but not in Canada. A smaller company that UAP bought in the early 1980s had already developed and patented the zinc ammonium acetate formula.

“They had been adding it to their anhydrous ammonia,” he said. “They also had it going in the furrows with the startup fertilizer. Through the 1980s and ’90s, UAP researchers realized the closer they put zinc ammonium acetate to the seed, the better response they got. So about nine years ago, Loveland Products started working on a seedapplied formula, which is now the Awaken ST we have approved for Canada.” Gregory said Loveland started the registration process four years ago, with the mandatory two years of efficacy field test data followed by the normal two years of review for CFIA approval. Awaken ST is the first liquid

ACA to be registered in Canada, he added. “This is a true solution, not a suspension product, so it’s very stable,” he said. “To date, it’s blended well with every liquid product we’ve tried. We’re right now putting the final touches on blend recommendations, but we know for sure you cannot mix it with rhizobia inoculants. It kills rhizobia.” Gregory said Awaken ST is part of a trend toward seed-applied nutrients and away from bulk fertilizer “I see that as a definite trend,” he said. “There are a lot of new and different technologies coming down the pipe-

line right now relating to micronutrients. But as for the macro-nutrients NPK, where we need hundreds of pounds per acre, I think they’ll always be bulk applied.” Gregory said UAP will have enough Awaken ST so that most interested retailers will get a chance to bring product into their area. The recommended rate for the liquid is 260 to 390 millilitres per 100 kilograms of wheat seed, which works out to $2.50 to $3.75 per bushel of seed. It will cost $5 to $7.50 per acre when seeding at the high rate of two bu. per acre. For more information, contact Gregory at 204-888-1293 or visit www.uap.ca.

BENEFITS OF AMMONIUM ACETATE ON SOIL HEALTH Auxins are plant hormones that cause cell elongation in roots and stems.

earning doesn’t stop at the school doorway. A wealth of knowledge is available to us today from both traditional forms of information and the newer internetbased information sources. It is equally true for those interested in green building and renewable energy. It is up to each of us to search and distill what we find. Books are still being published, and they continue to provide a relevant level of detail, in spite of rapid technology changes. There are books dealing with specific subjects such as alternative house construction, building for those with chemical sensitivities, water catchment, solar hot water and photovoltaics (PV). Almost anything related to green building and energy can be found in books, and many of them are available through the Gabriola Island’s New Society Publishers and Solar Energy International of Colorado. There are also periodicals, many of which can be seen on news stands and in bookstores. Some, such as Mother Jones and Popular Mechanics, cover renewable energy and green building in a more cursory manner but may still be of interest. Building magazines such as Fine Homebuilding include articles about green building technologies. The long-standing bi-monthly Home Power magazine is for those interested in more detailed information on renewable energy systems. It features practical information on solar PV, solar

thermal, wind power generation and micro-hydro power generation. Articles range from home-built heat exchangers to off-grid appliances to electric motorcycles. Solar Today is the official publication of the American Solar Energy Society and generally discusses renewable energy at a broader level, although with an American perspective. It includes articles on more specific topics such as efficient cars and passive solar construction. SAB Magazine is a Canadian publication that focuses on new building commercial construction with a green orientation. Its partner magazine, SAB Homes, focuses on residential construction. Solplan is a quarterly newsletter published by an architect in Vancouver. It focuses on advanced building technologies and changes to Canadian building codes. The most intense publication for green building is Environmental Building News, a bi-monthly U.S. newsletter available in paper or online. It runs no ads, which means it has a high subscription cost, but it provides unbiased well-researched information and analysis of new techniques and products. BuildingGreen, the home company, publishes Green Spec Directory, which provides information on green products.

Rubber biscuit smoothens ride Reducing Deere bounce | Owners of older series T tractors able to cushion their ride

BRANDON — Farmers who own a John Deere 9000 series T tractor built between 2000 and 2007 know all about the term “rough ride.” “We wanted to use rubber biscuits to address the shakiness, vibration, rough ride, jarring and sharp bucks,” said Luke Bartel of ERA Manufacturing in Rosenort, Man. Bartel worked with Lloyd Friesen to develop an after market front axle suspension for 9000 and 9020 T tractors built before JD came out with its own front suspension. “We built the first one for my own 9400T in 2003,” he said. “We tried a few different ideas before we finally got it to work the way we wanted. Finding the right rubber cushion was the biggest challenge. It’s got to stand up under pressure. We have a company in Ontario custom build the cushions for us. The original cushions we installed in our first units seven years ago are in use today. They still haven’t been replaced.” Some of the original factory axles were cast and some were fabricated steel. “Our ERA (easy ride axle) is fabricated steel. It’s much stronger than either type of John Deere axle.”

Finding the right rubber cushion was the biggest challenge. It’s got to stand up under pressure. LUKE BARTEL ERA MANUFACTURING

Bartel said farmers with the ERA suspended axle notice the ride improvement more on the road than in the field. The hard road surface normally transmits every sharp little bump to the frame and the operator. The ERA filters out much of that physical abuse. He said the new axle is easy to install in most farm shops that have the capacity to lift the tractor. Farmers raise the tractor, remove the bolts and the old axle, slide the ERA into place and bolt it in. The stabilizer bar is designed to prevent it from moving side-to-side. The tractor and rubber cushions find their natural level when the axle is bolted in and the tractor lowered to the floor. The stabilizer bar is welded into position once the rubber biscuits squish down to size. John Deere built T tractors in 2000 with the front spindles welded to the ends of the axle. In 2001, it switched to a bolt-on spindle. Bartel said a number of producers with 2000 model tractors have bought the ERA and made the necessary modifications to make it work on 2000 model tractors. “We’ve got about 25 units out in the field,” he said. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

“So far, we haven’t had a single comeback or complaint. Lloyd is the real brains behind this axle. He did the engineering and he owns the design.” The ERA kit sells for $7,500 For more information, contact Bartel at 204-746-8325 or visit www.eramanufacturinginc.com/.

Awaken ST & Rancona

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has approved a new liquid nutrient seed treatment for use on wheat, oats, barley and corn. Awaken ST is manufactured by Loveland Products and available from UAP Canada Inc. as part of its Nutritionals portfolio of products. Awaken ST is a patented, seed-applied nutrient that includes 6-0-1 and 5% zinc plus boron, copper, iron, manganese and molybdenum. “Awaken ST puts nutrients where a germinating plant needs them – on the seed,” says Eric Gregory, Western Product Manager with UAP Canada Inc. “It’s a unique, nutrient-based product that helps develop a larger, more extensive root system, quicker emergence and greater plant biomass for improved plant health and vigour. All of this supports the goals of progressive growers in pursuit of maximum yield and return on their crop inputs investment.” In independent research and CFIA registration trials, Awaken ST increased stand establishment, biomass and yield. Research conducted in 2009 at North Dakota State University on hard red spring wheat showed a significant

increase in plant emergence and an 8 percent yield increase when compared to untreated seed. Gregory explains that the patented zinc ammonium acetate compound found in Awaken ST is the key driver behind both the plant and soil effects of the product. In the plant, zinc boosts auxin production, which promotes cell division and increased lateral root growth. “Improved lateral root growth means more root hairs. In terms of nutrient and water uptake we know that root hairs do all the heavy lifting,” says Gregory.

Research at the University of Wales showed that the zinc complex found in Awaken ST stimulates 44 percent more auxin production in the plant than other forms of zinc. Zinc and the other micronutrients in Awaken ST are also essential in the photosynthetic process of the plant to help maximize growth and yield. Ammonium acetate acts as a soil extraction agent releasing nutrients that are tied up in the soil. Together, the zinc ammonium acetate complex provides increased plant growth and improved nutrient uptake from the soil, ultimately providing improved plant health and vigour.

applied with traditional seed treating equipment, and is a seed safe, low dust-off formulation. “We know there aren’t any mixing issues with Rancona® Apex, and the other popular seed treatments all look very good, too,” says Gregory. Proposed mixtures should be evaluated in a jar test before full scale use. Awaken ST is packaged in 2 x 9.46 litre jugs per case with one case treating approximately 180 bushels of wheat seed.

Easy to use Awaken ST is available in a convenient, easy flowing, clear liquid. It may be applied on its own, blended or applied sequentially with traditional fungicide and/or insecticide seed treatments. It can be

livestock and predators apart. “To me, the most important thing is people are so quick to grab the gun and go that route of control,” said Liebenberg, who farms with Verstappen near High Prairie. The African-born Liebenberg believed they would never win the war against predators if they relied on shooting and trapping predators. “It’s a never ending problem with coyotes.” Instead, the pair keep predator kills to a minimum using guardian dogs, electric fences, page wire and night corrals. They also pick up dead stock immediately and don’t lamb when the predators have their young. “I just find we do a whole series of things,” said Liebenberg. “You cannot ever leave the stock unprotected. You have got to pay more attention and step up the game.… If we don’t look after our animals well enough, we deserve to be predated on.” Their Graziere ranch is the first Canadian ranch to be certified Predator Friendly by an American organization that recognizes farms and ranches for practising wildlife stewardship. Many American ranchers use the Predator Friendly label as a marketing tool to help sell their produce, but Liebenberg doesn’t expect to see the same financial benefit. Instead, she wants to use the certification as a way to increase awareness that livestock and wildlife can co-exist. Liebenberg said they use eight to 10 Sarplaninac livestock guardian dogs to protect their 700 ewes and 1,000 lambs. They also have 50 Red and Black Angus in the bush close to Winagami Provincial Park. The guardian dogs are always with the livestock. If there are more coyotes, wolves or bears in the area, Liebenberg may respond by putting more guardian dogs into the fields. “You can’t expect one or two dogs to look after a quarter section of bush with 700 sheep.” Another option might be to delay letting the sheep out of the night corral onto pasture for a couple of hours. “I try to stay flexible. If every day you have the same routine, coyotes know it.” Using livestock guardian dogs that are properly trained to stay with the livestock 24 hours a day is key. A dog that wanders over to the neighbours isn’t any use at protecting sheep, she said. Liebenberg starts lambing in January to prevent wolves and coyotes from teaching their young to prey on newborn lambs. During the summer, electric and page wire fences make it harder for predators to reach the sheep. Dead sheep are picked up immediately and either composted or frozen for later use as dog food. Most predation habits begin when wildlife start eating dead animals.

Producers farming in bush country can limit predator losses by using an adequate number of guardian dogs, electric fences and night corrals for livestock. | FILE PHOTOS Liebenberg said Canadians don’t appreciate seeing wildlife. In Holland, she would be thrilled to see an occasional fox running across the road. “I think so many people in Canada don’t realize they are one of last few countries that have wildlife wandering around,” she said. “It’s one of the few wild places left and it would be great if we could conserve it. People can go out in the bush and see a wolf and a bear and enjoy it.” The County of Big Lakes, where Liebenberg and Verstappen live, placed a bounty on wolves a few years ago in an effort to reduce livestock losses from predators. Liebenberg believes the bounty shouldn’t be the first approach to

wildlife predation. “Predation up here is a big issue. I am not denying that happens and know it happens. With management and with good animal husbandry and a willingness, there are definitely solutions to a lot of those problems,” she said. “I’m not a fanatical wolf activist. It’s a matter of trying to pay attention to the details.”

Liebenberg hopes their new Predator Friendly label will help raise awareness of the ways farmers and ranchers can work together with nature. “There are other ways. The predator friendly status is a marketing tool for us to make an awareness that you can ranch in a certain way without killing the wildlife.

“I’m not saying we will never be predated on in the future. That is also an illusion. But it’s about minimizing risk.” John Buckley, chair of Alberta Beef Producers’ Cow Calf Council, said the organization recently reviewed predator compensation programs in Canada and the United States to see how Alberta’s program compared. “It’s a growing issue within the province,” he said. In Alberta, payments are made for 100 percent of the market value for confirmed livestock kills and 50 percent for probable kills. In British Columbia, compensation is paid for 75 percent of confirmed kills and probable losses are not compensated. In Saskatchewan, 100 percent compensation is paid on verified losses and probable losses are compensated at 50 percent. The Manitoba government will compensate verified killed livestock at 100 percent after April 1, 2012. Probable losses are compensated at 50 percent. Buckley said compensation programs are only a Band-Aid approach. Government, the public and producers, need to work together to find a solution of reducing predator losses. “It’s always much easier to work with nature than against it.” Buckley said the compensation review is the first step in starting a discussion about livestock-wildlife conflicts. He believes Alberta’s new Land Stewardship Act may be able to enable novel concepts of reducing predation. “The study shows compensation is not the complete answer,” he said. “It is one of the tools that can be used but it is not the only tool.”

Coyotes are considered pests, not predators, and therefore are not in the program.

Students optimistic on prospects Article calling agriculture degrees useless stirs anger BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Three agriculture students from the University of Manitoba were in a cheerful mood recently as they attending Keystone Agricultural Producers’ annual convention. “There are so many jobs out there,” sad Jessi Good, a second year agriculture diploma student, during a coffee break. The students got a chance to learn more about an industry that offers them more opportunities than almost any other field of study. None of them seemed to mind sit-

ting through a day of detailed discussions on farm policy matters and debates about arcane agricultural issues. All said they liked hearing about the realities of farming after doing a lot of studying at the university. However, all three were incensed by a recent article that went viral across North America. It declared agriculture to be number one on the list of “college majors that are useless.” “That was a joke,” said Riana Voth of Altona, Man., who hopes to work for an agri-retailer when she graduates. “It made me really angry.

true. We see businesses fighting to get graduating students to come to their dinners, to be sponsored.” The article, which was published online in the United States and was then sent far and wide by hyperconnected university students, declared agriculture degrees to be the worst possible choice because the number of farmers and farm managers in the U.S. is declining. “When schools such as the University of Idaho cut their agriculture programs, you know times are tough for this degree,” said the article, which appeared first on Newsweek’s Daily Beast website. Agriculture programs and students immediately began pointing out that most agriculture-related jobs aren’t as farmers or farm managers. “What they don’t realize is the fact that only a very small percentage of students that receive a degree in agriculture, horticulture and animal sciences are looking to become a farm manager or owner-operator,” said a comment on the site from osufarmboy02. “They miss the fact that agriculture is still one of the most prosperous and largest industries in the world.” The point hasn’t been lost on prairie agriculture students and their colleges, but Good acknowledged that the message isn’t heard outside of agriculture circles. “Even (high school teachers) said to me, ‘why are you doing that?’ Everyone thinks you’re going to school to be a farmer. But there’s so much more than that,” said Good. Agriculture colleges often complain that they don’t have enough graduates to fill all the available jobs, but attracting students has often been the challenge. Michele Rogalsky, director of the U of M’s School of Agriculture and who was with her students at the KAP convention, hopes this generation of agriculture students can help bridge the urban-rural divide and spread the message that there are lots of opportunities in agriculture for more than farmers. “We’re really stressing in our course that it’s important to communicate between the rural and the non-rural audience,” said Rogalsky. For students like Jackie Dudgeon of Morden, Man., coming to KAP allowed her to see the inner workings of an industry she’s keen about. “We don’t get a lot of news about what producers are dealing with and what some producers here are doing behind the scenes to help other producers,” said Dudgeon. “It’s interesting to see how the process works and how decisions are made.” She, like her two classmates, doesn’t want to be a farmer, but hopes to work directly with them as a representative for an agri-retailer. “I really want to be the type of person who can help the farmer make their crop yield the best it can and be the most profitable it can,” said Dudgeon. Good has had horses throughout her life but is not from a farm. Still, agriculture seemed like something she wanted to be involved with. “I’ve been around it my whole life,” said Good, who grew up in Argyle, Man. “I was just interested in going into it and finding out more about it.”

Canada must prepare EU fears Canadian beef imports for more competition, Unable to compete | European farmers say there are many factors that give Canada a competitive advantage, including lower feed costs warns European Union If Canada does nothing to adjust to a less protected system, ‘it could be a nightmare for them’ STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

BRUSSELS — Europe’s dairy processors dream of more product on Canadian grocery shelves after Canada-European Union free trade talks, but an industry leader says Canadian fears of the impact are exaggerated. “Canada should not be panicked because you think our free trade agreement will mean we export more tonnes and tonnes and tonnes,” said Bénédicte Mosure, director general of trade and economic policies for the European Dairy Association. “The opportunities we have will depend on the products we have, the price at that time and other opportunities. If we have a better market closer, why would we go to Canada? It will depend on many things and we could never make an estimate.” However, increased European access to Canada would also come with the proviso that the EU will continue to be able to use dairy export subsidies if needed to deal with low prices. EDA secretar y general Joop Kleibeuker said the EU has committed through the WTO to end export subsidies by 2013, but the export rebate scheme remains part of the EU arsenal without a WTO deal and a move by other countries on their commitments. “There still is an export rebate scheme, and at the moment prices are at or near the (trigger) level, they can consider to start to use exports to take off pressure from the market,” he said. “As long as that (a binding WTO deal) is not happening, the EU will not kick its export scheme out of its regulations, but it is handled with a lot of care. There has not been since 2007 much use made, only at the bottom of the crisis in 2008-09.” Most Canadian dairy exports ended after an earlier WTO ruling said they were effectively subsidized because of higher domestic prices. The ruling put Canada over its allowed limit.

The European dairy processing industry, worth $200 billion Cdn or more in sales, exported 14,700 tonnes of product to Canada in 2010, mainly cheese. Product entere d the countr y through Canada’s tariff rate quota (TRQ), which allows imports at lower tariffs under WTO rules to fill a portion of the domestic market. “It was all through the TRQ,” Mosure said. “Outside of it, the quota is 253 percent and that is an interesting disincentive.” The EDA thinks there is a Canadian consumer craving for more product if European negotiators can convince Canada to offer preferential treatment to EU dairy in return for better meat or grain access. “The important point for us is that, and it is perhaps arrogant, in Europe we know very well what type of dairy products we can produce,” Kleibeuker said. “Different cheeses we export have had good acceptance in the U.S. We are sure we can also export significantly more to Canada as well. It would give Canadian consumers a broader range of good products.” Mosure said the European dairy sector has become more efficient and competitive in an increasingly liberalized trade system as the European dairy supply management system declined over the past decade, the quota system weakened on the way to elimination in 2015 and domestic support reduced. She said farmers have adjusted and support the system. Canadian farmers will be hurt if they aren’t planning to adjust to a less-protected system, she added. “To be honest, I feel sorry for them because the minute there is a deal, you will have overnight the need to be more competitive in their own market and in the external market,” she said. “The EU now has prepared for years. Support and protection has declined and yet we have seen we are less at risk from imports. If Canada does nothing for one or two more years, it could be a nightmare for them.”

BRUSSELS, Belgium — At the core of Europe’s resistance to allowing greater access for Canadian beef is a deep-seated farmer conviction that they cannot compete because of unfair Canadian advantages. “Every farmer here feels deeply that they are not competitive with North American and Canadian production,” said Pekko Pesonen, secretary general of COPA, the European Union’s general farm organization. “We feel the competitive edge falls to Canadian farmers.” European agriculture’s resistance to greater Canadian grain and meat imports is one of the unresolved issues in Canada-European Union free trade talks as they head into their third year. Canadian dairy industry resistance to opening the domestic market to more European dairy products is another. Pesonen said he is not criticizing his members as less astute producers than their North American counterparts. Instead, he argues that a combination of domestic EU policy restrictions and Canadian natural advantages give Canadian product the upper hand:

Every farmer here feels deeply that they are not competitive with North American and Canadian production. PEKKO PESONEN COPA

• Canadian producers have access to abundant domestic feed while European livestock producers must import significant amounts of feed, he said. It means European feed costs generally are higher and supplies less secure and predictable. • The European animal traceability requirement is more stringent and costly for farmers than Canada’s. • European consumer rejection of hormone-treated beef means Canadian producers have an advantage. • European environmental rules add costs that Canadian producers do not have, particularly since the EU continues to support tough Kyoto Protocol demands for greenhouse gas reductions while Cana-

da has rejected Kyoto. • Consumer demands in Europe for rules guaranteeing on-farm animal welfare practices far exceed what is required in North America. He said Canadian farming practices are often closer to European practices and rules than other countries, but both have their own offensive and defensive positions in the Canada-EU trade talks that reflect their own interests. European dairy farmers, who once had a version of their own supply management system and supported Canada’s defence of its system, now are forced to face more market competition, reduced government support and an end to their already weakened production quota system by 2015. Given their new exposure to market forces, Pesonen said European dairy farmers understand processor demands that any trade deal give them better access to the Canadian market. “Farmers and processors are quite connected now and they realize that more export of processed products like cheese opens up increased demand for their milk,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

SAFETY | EVACUATION PLANS

Emergency planning key to averting disasters on farms Analyzing agricultural hazards | Alberta Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Strategic Network will release a checklist in spring BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A grass fire burned precariously close to the edge of Larson Custom Feeders near Fort Macleod, Alta., Jan. 4. With cattle in the pens and the fire whipped by high winds, there was no time for workers to move the animals. A firebreak and action by responding fire departments averted disaster, but what can farmers and ranchers do to protect livestock in times of similar crisis? Brian Andres, emergency program manager with Alberta Agriculture, thinks that is a good question, and one that agencies are examining so they can provide producers with useful guidance. He is part of the Alberta Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Strategic Network that is developing a checklist it hopes to release this spring. “We really started thinking about it after flooding in 2010-11,” said Andres. Last May’s fire that destroyed half of Slave Lake, Alta., and many surrounding acres provided further reinforcement. Southern Alberta grass fires in November and January are more grist for the mill. “It reinforced that we need to provide more information,” said Andres. Planning is key to any emergency plan, but relatively few people have one.

Beware the pirate of the prairies

Andres points to an Ontario survey that found only 23 percent of people have an emergency plan. Brian Cornforth, Lethbridge fire chief and president of the Alberta Fire Chiefs Association, suspects the number in the West might be lower. “Unless they’re like me, not many (have a plan.) But it takes 10 minutes to walk around the yard. Take a look at what you’ve got.” Andres concurs. He said the first step is to examine the farm or ranch operation and take note of all hazards. Power lines, railroad tracks, haystacks against a fence or building, fuel tanks and tall grass can all go on the hazard list. Producers should then figure out a response should an emergency present itself. If it does, added Andres, be sure to implement the plan. “Do you have an evacuation plan for your family and is it possible to have an evacuation plan for your animals? All of our natural disasters at some point affect animals.” Fire has been the most common emergency in Cornforth’s area lately. Simple precautions can limit damage, he said. Keeping grass trimmed around buildings and storing feed in more than one place, downwind from the feedlot or farm buildings, are obvious. A water tank or other water source is also advised.

Producers’ role in averting disasters like this fire will be part of guidelines expected this spring. | FILE PHOTO “With a small pump and a hose, you can do a lot initially before the fire department gets there,” Conforth said. “When you’re out in the rural area, we could be 15, 20 minutes, 25 minutes in some cases, away.” Depending on the nature of the emergency, livestock could be put in

temporary pens or turned into a larger area with access to food and water. Andres said livestock identification is important so that they can be returned once the emergency is over. Horses in particular are not always adequately identified, which can create problems later.

Producers also need to consider the impact of electrical loss in the case of fire, flood or storm. Conforth said it could affect barn operations such as automatic waterers. He said everyone on the farm must be aware of the emergency plan in case the main operator isn’t home.

Roads may be restricted to emergency service vehicles and not open to traffic • you will need access to trucks, trailers and other vehicles suitable for livestock. You may need a portable loading ramp • make sure animals have sufficient identification

• have adequate fencing or pens to separate and group animals appropriately Checklist when evacuating livestock from danger areas: • keep a list of all animals, including location and records of feeding, vaccinations and tests • keep a supply of temporary identification of animals, such as plastic neck bands and permanent markers

• protect feed and water from contact with wild animals and birds

• assemble handling equipment such as halters, cages, blankets and appropriate tools. Include bolt cutters to quickly free animals in an emergency

• ensure sufficient feed and medical supplies are available at the destination

• handle mortalities to minimize possible spread of contagious diseases

• collect water, feed and buckets as well as other tools and supplies for sanitation.

• be ready to leave as soon as an evacuation is ordered. It may not

• monitor the health of the animals daily

ANIMAL HEALTH

STARTS ON THE FARM Animal disease outbreaks can be devastating.

How prepared is your farm? Reduce the risk of animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) by practising sound biosecurity on your farm. • Have a biosecurity plan in place and review it regularly. • Observe your animals for signs of disease. • Call your veterinarian if you think one or more of your animals might be sick. Talk to your veterinarian about biosecurity measures and how they can be applied to your farm. They’re the best investment you can make to help keep your animals and your business healthy.

University of Saskatchewan’s Barred Plymouth Rock “Lady Victorine”. World’s champion egg layer 1928-1929.

Lady Victorine Most famous of all the birds and animals kept at the University of Saskatchewan was a Barred Plymouth Rock hen, known as Lady Victorine. She established a world record for egg production in 1928-29 by laying 358 eggs in 365 days. While her record was beat the following year by a hen in Australia, Lady Victorine’s fame lingered on. She is still remembered in news stories, in photos, on T-shirts and lapel buttons, and once she appeared on the cover of a textbook. Her ancestry traced to stock bred by the Purdy family of Balcarres, SK, but the University of Saskatchewan got most of the credit for her production achievement. To make that record, the lady was given the best of care. Her keepers regularly brought her treats in their lunch pails, and she especially favoured canned tomatoes. On the few days when she did not lay an egg, a heavy gloom would envelop the poultry barns and the staff. In poultry breeding of those days, egg numbers were counted during the first year of production, and then only the best producers were used for breeding in the second year. Sadly, after establishing her record, Lady Victorine developed an avian cancer and died before she produced any offspring. Many chicken generations later, Barred Plymouth Rocks are still kept at the University of Saskatchewan, all tracing back to the Victorine days of glory.

RISE ABOVE GRASSY WEEDS LOOK NO FURTHER THAN

LADDER

Protectionism hinders trade deals, says policy group Supply management | C.D. Howe Institute says system damages Canada’s trade negotiations BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

In line with a recent stream of supply management criticism, the C.D. Howe Institute has published a report that calls the protectionist policy a barrier to ambitious trade deals. In particular, the institute’s February commentary portrayed it as a “supply management stumbling block” to Canada being allowed to join trade talks in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiation. The TPP negotiation among Pacific and Asian countries is considered the “next great thing” among trade promoters, opening up potentially billions of dollars in new trade opportunities for Canadian exporters. After years of hesitation, Canada has signalled it wants to join the negotiation, but New Zealand is insisting Canada agree to negotiate away some supply management protections as the price for joining the negotiation. The trade liberalization lobby has argued this is a clear example of supply management thwarting Canada’s broader trade goals. But last week, a leading agricultural export promoter told MPs at a House of Commons agriculture committee meeting that blaming supply management for Canada’s exclusion from TPP negotiations is too simplistic. The issue is to convince the United States that Canada should be at the negotiating table and so far, the Americans “are not paying attention to us,” Canadian AgriFood Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan told MPs. “I don’t think it comes down to any particular protectionist policy we have in Canada,” she said. “The U.S. has its own protectionist policies and they certainly have them in abundance on agriculture: their own dairy sector and their sugar policy as well.”

She said winning support from the U.S. is key to Canada’s inclusion in the TPP negotiation, as the C.D. Howe study argued. “We have a lot of work to do with the Americans,” said Sullivan. “I don’t think that Canada’s supply management policy is the specific problem or the only problem.” She said Canada’s decision during free trade talks with the European Union to put all issues on the table for negotiation was a breakthrough. A deal is expected this year. “For the first time in negotiating a trade deal, Canada made no exclusions to its negotiating mandate,” she said. “You have no idea how much that has helped us in the context of Canada-EU. It sends a signal to the rest of the world that we are serious about talking about trade.” And despite complaints from supply management defenders that making the system a discussion item means the system will be undermined, Sullivan said it simply signals that Canadian trade goals are comprehensive. “At the end of the day, every country has sensitivities (and) it’s up to our negotiators to defend those sensitivities or narrow the gaps in them or find ways to make the deal work,” she said. “Providing a comprehensive negotiating mandate doesn’t mean we’re trading off every sector in Canada but it sends a signal at the beginning that we’re prepared to trade.” Viterra vice-president Richard Wansbutter told MPs that the government should put more resources into its Agriculture Canada market access secretariat. “It needs to be properly resourced,” Wansbutter said. “If that means more staff, I know that that’s a tough one in today’s economic climate but we need to have more resources there, human and financial, to help us work through our market access issues.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

March 1 is the deadline for Alberta lamb producers to apply for funding through the Sheep RFID Technology Assistance Program. Producers who want to use radio identification technologies in their flocks can be reimbursed for 70 percent of costs of eligible hand-held readers, RFID software and training costs, to a maximum of $5,000 per sheep operation. Alberta Lamb Producers obtained $300,000 in funding last fall through the federal Growing Forward program to help producers offset the costs of adopting RFID technology,

said an ALP news release. Over half of the funding has already been allocated. The tags and software can make record-keeping more accurate and help producers identify superior breeding stock, pinpoint poor performers and help producers with more efficient labour use, the ALP said. This program is the successor to a previous one in which producers were partially reimbursed for RFID tag purchases. That funding came through Alberta Agriculture.

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

NATIONAL CATTLEMEN’S BEEF ASSOCIATION | ANGUS BEEF

Certified Angus program seeks Canadian producers Popular in U.S. | Company sold 807 million lb. in 2011 STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Angus cattle have made significant quality improvements since the Certified Angus Beef program began in 1978. | FILE PHOTO

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Certified Angus Beef program wants more Canadian partners. The program, a subsidiary of the American Angus Association, sells around 32 million pounds of the branded product in 800 Canadian groceries and 600 restaurants. It believes it can do better, said Larry Corah, the program’s vice-president. Much of the product was Canadian based and processed at four plants. “As we expand and grow, we could easily sell 40 to 45 million lb. in Canada,” he said at the recent National Cattlemen’s Beef Association annual meeting in Nashville, Tenn. The company, which started in 1978, sold 807 million lb. last year into 45 different markets. Sales totalled about $4 billion. “The first thing we have to do to increase supply is to increase the supply of black cattle in Canada,” he said. The first qualifier for the program is a black hide followed by 10 meat quality attributes for youthfulness, marbling, muscling and carcass size. About one in four animals submitted to the program receive the certification brand of quality. In the United States, Red Angus do not qualify because they are considered a different breed. Corah estimated that 30 percent of the Canadian cattle population is

black whereas the U.S. herd is closer to 65 percent. More attention must be also paid to achieving the upper levels of AAA or Canada Prime grades. The company promises better prices for the cattle that qualify. A normal premium is $20 to $45 per head. If the carcass grades Prime, the premium could reach $150. Only one to two percent qualifies for that grade and packers are looking for more. That product ends up in high-end restaurants, said Corah. To find more eligible cattle, the association recently partnered with Pfizer to develop a DNA test to assess feeder calves and replacement heifers. The GeneMax test is approved for use in Canada and the U.S. to assess whether Angus influenced cattle have the genetic ability to gain and produce well-marbled meat. “Using genomics, we could really get a lot of product coming out of Canada from that standpoint, ” said Corah. Retained ownership or partnerships may be options so producers receive carcass information and get paid for meeting brand specifications. “The quality carcass is the most important thing we produce but it is the last thing producers get paid for,” said Mark McCully, assistant vicepresident for production with the beef program. “It is important to get information that either validates what we did to

generate higher quality product that was worth more money,” he said. The program could also tell people what they need to do differently. Better genetics could also set aside the need for growth hormones or beta agonists. Products like this build more protein and proportionately reduce the amount of fat found in the meat. McCully would prefer cattle directed toward the certification program did not receive these products even though they add more pounds of gain. “To be point blank about it, we would prefer these products not be used, especially the beta agonists. They indicate a large decrease in marbling and a decrease in tenderness. If we had our choice, those products would not be used,” he said. They add more pounds but he questions the long-term impact on beef demand if the meat becomes less tender and juicy. However, the technologies may improve the lower end cattle that may never gain as well without some help. Angus influenced cattle have improved since the program started, he said. “We know we have made genetic progress. We also know there are more Angus genetics out there than there have ever been and that would be a North American shared trait. We haven’t just made cattle black; we have made them higher quality Angus black,” said McCully. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

NATIONAL CATTLEMEN’S BEEF ASSOCIATION | BRANDING BEEF

Group focuses on improving genetics over brand programs Targeted breeding programs | Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed program works with producers to promote the breed NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As the popularity of branded beef programs increases, the Canadian Angus Association hopes to promote its breed as one that offers quality and consistency. Rather than developing a certified beef program for Canada, the association has developed a Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed program to work with small and large beef programs to promote the breed. Seventeen different programs are now making Angus genetics part of their brand. “Our board has determined we are not going to pursue a branded beef program of our own,” said associa-

tion manager Michael Latimer. The American Angus Association owns the Certified Angus Beef program but in Canada the cattle are promoted with a special green ear tag indicating an animal has at least 50 percent Angus genetics that is verified through the association registry. That allows red and black hide cattle to qualify for quality beef programs. The goal is to improve beef with targeted breeding programs. Angus should boost the quality grade because of the meat composition and ability to marble. “One of the problems with beef and everybody talks about it, is the incon-

sistency of it,” Latimer said. Genetics and feeding programs can improve beef quality. “If we can guarantee that beef, is at least 50 percent Angus genetics, then it should make that product a lot

more consistent,” he said. “We figure if we can make that consistent at least on the genetic base, that should lead to a more consistent product,” he said. The American Angus Association offers a large genetic testing program where 16 traits have been identified when selecting sires. Genetic testing has not been adopted as widely in Canada because the DNA panels are less predictable here. “Our cattle populations are somewhat different from those in the U.S. and those panels are not quite as accurate on the Canadian cattle, especially on the red side,” he said.

The association offers producers regular online workshops to learn more about selection and expected progeny differences to better predict weights, milking ability, calving ease and meat quality. The uptake has not been as good as hoped. Bull buyers are making a large investment and most purebred operators have the statistics available. “The commercial guys really don’t know what those numbers mean and how to use them. We offer some outreach programming to help them but the uptake hasn’t been anywhere near what we would like to see it,” Latimer said. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHEA | PREVENTION

BVD eradication in Canada possible ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

he World Organization for Animal Health officially declared the disease rinderpest globally eradicated last year. This monumental announcement has only occurred once before in the history of humankind, when smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980. Eradication of this historically significant cattle disease was made possible by international efforts. All levels of the veterinary profession, from researchers and industry to local veterinary practitioners and the farmers they serve contributed to this remarkable achievement. Diseases must have certain characteristics to make eradication possible by current techniques and standards: reliable diagnostic tests for live animals, limited range of species it infects, lack of wildlife hosts that can maintain the disease, motivated and stable government and effective prevention. The successful eradication of rinderpest raises the question: can the same thing be done with bovine viral diarrhea (BVD)? Classified as a pestivirus, the BVD virus lives up to the “pest” in its name. This economically important, production-limiting disease has a significant impact on the cattle industry. For example, infected cattle in feedlots have been shown to lower the overall productivity of the entire pen and increase mortality. Vaccination at the herd level adds to overall costs while BVD-related abortion storms are economically devastating. Eradicating BVD is certainly not a priority in developing countries such as Uganda, where they have bigger fish to fry such as foot-andmouth disease, tuberculosis and brucellosis. However, it has been done in Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, and Switzerland is well on its way. Ireland, Scotland and Germany have recently begun BVD eradication programs. Persistently infected calves are a major contributor to the spread and maintenance of BVD. They are born to cows infected during a specific gestational period. These calves’ immune systems recognize the virus as part of themselves, rather than as foreign, which prevents an immune response from developing. Without the immune system stepping in, the virus replicates prolifically and is shed in copious amounts. These calves are essentially living virus factories. A BVD eradication program must emphasize three key concepts: • biosecurity must prevent introduction of persistently infected animals and cows that carry them • testing to identify and remove persistently infected animals • monitoring is essential to evaluate how well the first two strategies are working and to identify new disease outbreaks in previously BVDfree herds. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Widespread BVD infection in Canadian cattle herds makes eradication a distant dream, but Canada has successfully eradicated some infectious cattle diseases in the past. Effective testing and slaughter programs have eliminated tuberculosis and brucellosis from Canadian cattle. Foot-and-mouth last reared its ugly head in Saskatchewan during the 1950s. Rapid culling of affected herds limited spread and ultimately restored Canada to disease-free status. The European experience has provided valuable insight into how to proceed. A national control program to coordinate and standardize efforts is

essential. Vaccination tends to reduce catastrophic disease outbreaks, but does not always prevent persistently infected calves, which makes it ineffective for complete elimination. Furthermore, Denmark and Sweden achieved eradication without vaccinating. How would BVD eradication affect the bottom line? A recent economic analysis of BVD eradication in New Zealand estimated a 123 percent rate of return on investment into eradication programs compared to the cost of the disease. For an average 50-cow dairy herd in Canada, the annual cost of BVD is estimated to be $48 per cow. Canada’s cattle industry faces

In 2008, Rothenburger helped vaccinate these Ankole cattle in rural Uganda for foot-and-mouth disease. | JAMIE ROTHENBURGER PHOTO unique challenges, such as geographical distance, proximity to a large trading partner with no immediate national plans for eradication and huge herd size, but the benefits to the industry may be monumen-

NATIONAL CATTLEMEN’S BEEF ASSOCIATION | FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE

U.S. would consider vaccination in FMD outbreak Weighing options | Current policy calls for infected and exposed animals’ destruction BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Current policy When a country or zone without FMD vaccination discovers animals with the disease, those animals must be eradicated and others tested. Exports can resume if no positive tests are found for three consecutive months following the last discovered case. That policy must be re-examined, said Clifford. “It doesn’t matter what disease it is, whether it is hog cholera or footand-mouth disease, we need new approaches and new ways of doing things. At the international level, we can start changing the influence of the world organization for animal health … to accept what we are talking about for a strategy for vaccination,” he said. APHIS is seeking public input to a policy change, said Darrell Styles, a veterinarian with APHIS. Change is needed because the U.S. government does not have the money to pay large amounts of compensation for catastrophic losses and cannot afford the loss of meat to feed its own people. “We can’t slow the speed of commerce. Otherwise the food supply would falter,” he said. Current regulations state animals must be killed and disposed of within 24 hours. “We cannot meet these schedules today,” he said.

could not be stopped. Vaccination can affect trade status but it may be the best solution in a widespread emergency. Vaccination creates sero-positive animals and new tests are needed to differentiate vaccinated from infected livestock, said Clifford. At this time, there is not enough vaccine available, said Styles. For the most common strain of FMD, about seven million doses are available and some private companies may have some in storage. For the second most common strain, there are 2.5 million doses. Vaccine is stored as a concentrated antigen and goes to a manufacturer to produce usable vaccine when needed.

IT’S A

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The United States would consider vaccination if foot-and-mouth disease should ever appear. The current government policy states infected and exposed livestock would be killed and then buried or burned but with more than 175 million cattle, sheep and hogs under threat, the task would be impossible and unaffordable, said officials with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. “We cannot afford to have massive depopulation of herds, especially if that livestock still has value. Often times in a number of these diseases, it does,” said John Clifford, head of APHIS, at the National Cat t l e m e n ’s B e e f A s s o c i at i o n annual meeting in Nashville, Tenn., earlier this month. “We can recover from an FMD outbreak. It is going to hurt but I believe this new approach that we are looking at is far more beneficial than to have a policy where we go in and do massive depopulation,” he said. During an outbreak, state and federal officials would work to stamp out the infection by killing the infected and suffering animals, then vaccinating those that could be exposed. The vaccinated animals would be allowed to live and the meat could be sold. “Foot-and-mouth is not a public health threat and animals recover from FMD,” he said.

“There is no vaccine surplus capacity. They are not going to make it if there is no need for it,” he said. There are seven different strains of the virus and many combinations. The vaccines may not provide crossprotection. In addition, Styles said the beef industry needs a biosecurity plan that includes farms and public gathering places like auctions to prevent the spread of FMD and other diseases. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency FMD fact sheets report the current strategy is to identify all exposed premises, cull exposed and potentially exposed high-risk animals and decontaminate the e nv i ro n m e nt t o av o i d f u r t h e r spread. Affected animals would be disposed of by incineration or burial in agreement with provincial or municipal authorities. Canada does not rely on routine vaccination because there are several disease types, and vaccines must be targeted to the specific type of FMD. There is also concern an animal could become a carrier without

showing signs of the disease. Canada would lose its status as FMD-free if vaccinating against the disease.

TRANSPORTATION | ANIMAL WELFARE

HOGS | MANAGEMENT

Producers must provide answers Accountability paramount | Experts call on industry to lead charge for animal welfare research BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

PIPESTONE, Man. — Canadian cattle producers are urged to pay more attention to the issue of livestock transport because consumers are certainly doing so. Canadian Cattlemen’s Association vice-president Martin Unrau recently said at a town hall meeting in Pipestone that federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz’s office receives more letters on livestock transport than any other issue. “This is where the consumer sees the animals,” Unrau said at the meeting, which is part of a new communication effort to help the CCA connect with cattle producers. “We have to be accountable to the public…. The perception has to be that we look after our cattle very well in transport.” A Ritz spokesperson confirmed that the minister’s office received more than 200 letters on the topic last year. Unrau’s comments were made weeks after dozens of animals died when a commercial cattle truck collided with a train north of Carberry, Man. That type of incident may be a

random occurrence, but the related headlines and television news stories can potentially alter the public’s perception of livestock production and transport. Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein, who studies the transport stress of farm animals for Agriculture Canada in Lethbridge, said it’s hard to control the emotional reactions of Canadian motorists when they drive by a trailer filled with cattle, pigs or chickens. Nevertheless, Canada’s cattle industry must be prepared to deal with the related questions and concerns, she added. “If a customer has a question, they have a right to ask it. It’s going to look far better for the industry … if (it) can answer some of those questions honestly with some knowledge and science behind it,” she said. One concern is the length of time that cattle are kept inside trailers. Canadian regulations allow cattle to be transported for 52 hours without stopping for food or water, but animal welfare organizations such as the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) have argued that’s much too long and too stressful on the animals. In its 2010 report on Canada’s farm

Martin Unrau, CCA vice-president, says livestock transportation is an important issue for customers. | FILE PHOTO animal transport system, WSPA referred to a Harris/Decima poll that said the public feels the same way. The poll found that 96 percent of Canadians felt it is at least somewhat important to limit transport times to reduce animal suffering. Unrau said reducing the maximum time inside a trailer would severely affect Manitoba cattle producers because the province is many hours from slaughter plants and major feedlot operations. While he conceded that reducing the maximum time makes sense for

animal welfare, he also said no one really knows the appropriate length of trip for a cold and vast country like Canada. Animal welfare experts in Canada such as Schwartzkopf-Genswein are studying the issue, but there are many unanswered questions: • is it better to unload animals during a trip to provide food and water? • should food and water be provided on the trailer? Schwartzkopf-Genswein said it may seem obvious that stopping for food and water or providing food and water onboard makes sense for animal welfare, but those questions lead to other questions. “We’re not even sure if off loading for feed and water even helps the animals…. (Would) they even drink the water because it’s different to them?” she said. “Is welfare better if they are provided with feed and water? Probably. But what do we do when it’s - 30 C and the water freezes?” The livestock industry needs to find the answers or someone outside the industry may impose a set of regulations for livestock transport in Canada, Schwartzkopf-Genswein said. access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

Virus more difficult to control in Manitoba H1N1 | Commercial vaccines won’t help Manitoba hog producers BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba pigs are traditionalists when it comes to H1N1, the classic swine influenza virus. Hogs in the province have an old strain, which makes it harder to control with vaccines. “Commercial vaccines don’t carry this classic H1 strain anymore,” said Blaine Tully, a veterinarian with Swine Health Professionals in Steinbach. “Finding a flu vaccine that’s going to protect against the strains we have in Manitoba becomes challenging.” He told the recent Manitoba Swine Seminar that current vaccines are based on the main forms of swine influenzas in the Midwest United States, which have mutated away from the original forms. Diseases aren’t as susceptible to vaccines based on earlier forms if they evolve, so the vaccines are regularly updated. As a result, older strains are not generally protected against if they are no longer the main causes of disease in the prime area for which the vaccines are designed. That leaves areas such as Manitoba, on the fringe of the hog production zone, without vaccines specifically tailored for local conditions.

We’re getting better with the tools we have. BLAINE TULLY VETERINARIAN

Tully said researchers have made significant advances in controlling diseases such as circovirus, which just a few years ago was ravaging North American herds. At one time, keeping deaths from a circovirus outbreak down to five or six percent was considered a success, but now that death rate would be considered a problem. “We’re getting better with the tools we have,” said Tully. However, he said two other diseases are easier to control and eradicate: PMS and PPMS. Tully showed the swine seminar a slide of poor-looking pigs and said they didn’t have a traditional disease, Instead, they were suffering from what he called poor management syndrome. The hogs were simply chilled by poor control of heating in the barn. When it’s really badly done, he calls it piss-poor management syndrome. “In a winter like we’re experiencing now, with the temperature up and down, it’s sometimes pretty tricky to get it right every day, but we need to try,” he said. access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

Viterra Inc. is getting out of the North American livestock feed business. The company announced Feb. 15 it has agreed to sell all of its North American livestock feed operations, which includes six feed mills and one premix manufacturing facility on the Prairies and six feed mills and a commodity blending site in the United States. On the receiving end is Hi-Pro Feeds LP, a new entity formed by the feed business’s existing management team and Toronto’s Birch Hill Equity Partners. Financial details of the agreement aren’t being disclosed. “It’s a very fragmented, highly competitive industry and we felt that at this point that we have opportunities in what we would call more core areas of our business that provide a greater ability for us to hit what we’re trying to do, which is to be that leading influential market position,” said Karl Gerrand, Viterra’s chief operating officer for processing. He said Viterra’s livestock feed operations represented $10 million last year in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization compared to $114 million for its total processing business and $702 million for the whole company. “So it’s certainly a small component of the overall contribution to our ends.” Gerrand said the company received multiple bids. According to a news release, operations at the facilities will continue as normal for staff and customers. The move follows a “strategic review process” and doesn’t include Viterra’s New Zealand feed assets. Gerrand identified oat, pasta, canola and malt processing as Viterra’s core areas of processing business. New investments, including a canola crushing plant in China and a malting facility in Australia, combined with larger shares of the market supply, make them areas of strength, he said. “These are the areas where we’re investing, and this is where we feel fits our core values and what we’re trying to achieve,” said Gerrand. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

Legumex Walker Inc. has made its first two acquisitions a few weeks after securing a $107 million line of credit. The Canadian pulse and special crops processor and exporter bought St. Hilaire Seed Company, a Minnesota dry bean processor, for $12 million. The deal more than doubles Legumex Walker’s dry bean processing ability by adding 45,000 tonnes in annual capacity. The firm also gets five receiving facilities in North Dakota and one in Minnesota with combined storage capacity of 40,000 tonnes.

CORPORATIONS | TAX BENEFITS

Partnerships can be taxing, corporations less so MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

In some cases, the tax rate on a small corporation is less than half the personal tax rate on a partnership

onverting a farm partnership to a corporation can have tax benefits. Unlike corporations, which have a separate and distinct legal identity from their participating shareholders, partnerships do not have a separate and legal existence from their partners. Corporations are taxed as if they are separate persons, while all of a partnership’s income and losses are distributed to their partners, who are then responsible for reporting their share of the partnership’s income on their income tax returns. The Canada Revenue Agency introduced financial thresholds to deter-

mine reporting requirements for partnerships. They are effective for fiscal periods ending on or after Jan. 1, 2011. For example, a partnership must file a T5013-Partnership Information Return if it has an absolute value of revenues and expenses of more than $2 million for the fiscal period. The absolute value is determined by adding revenues to expenses rather than subtracting one from the other to give a net operating income. The same is true for assets. The partnership must file an information return if it has assets of more than $5 million. Assets in this case are determined as the cost value of all tangible and intangible assets w ithout accounting for depreciation. The preferential tax rates available to businesses make incorporation the single most lucrative tax advantage available to farmers. In some cases, the income tax rates applied to a small incorporated business are less than half of the personal tax rates they pay on the income from their partnership or sole proprietorship. Small businesses that earn less than $500,000 in 2012 receive particularly favourable treatment under federal and provincial corporate tax rates. The federal rate amounts to only 11 percent. For example, a partnership or sole

proprietorship with business income in 2012 that totals $300,000 would owe federal and provincial income tax at the top personal marginal tax rate. That’s a far cry from 11 percent. Corporations that don’t qualify for the small business deductions are still taxed at a modest 15 percent in 2012, down from 16.5 percent in 2011. The tax savings can be deferred long into the future within the corporation and applied to increasing the value of corporate assets. Other benefits of the corporate

business structure include: • Limited liability — Separating personal assets from corporate assets provides protection for personal assets from creditors should the business fail. • Fiscal year flexibility — Farmers can choose a non-calendar fiscal year for income tax reporting to better suit their business cycles. • Group insurance and retirement benefits — Corporations can create a registered pension plan and obtain tax-deductible group

health and life insurance for their employees and family members. • Income splitting flexibility — A spouse or children involved in the business as employees, shareholders and/or directors can receive funds in a number of ways, including salaries, dividends, consulting and director’s fees.

Dr. Robert Thompson

“Feeding 9.6 Billion by 2050” The only sustainable way to satisfy the growing demand is to double the average productivity of the fertile, nonerodible soils already in production. The other big constraint on future agriculture output will be water. Farmers use 70% of the fresh water used world wide, but with the rapid urbanization, cities will outbid farmers for available water, so we are going to need to more than double the “crop per drop” of water used in agriculture.

Tom Scott “Near Infrared Reflectance - Food, Feed, Landfill - Your Choice” On average, 20% of the annual Canadian grain crop can be downgraded to feed. For wheat this is ˜8 MMT, equivalent to ˜$800 M in lost value each year. In 2010, in excess of 50% of the wheat grown was downgraded to feed.

Wondering why legislators don’t seem to value the agrifood business. This program will help leverage the trust invested in farmers and give participants 6.5 easy-to-remember tools to take back home.

Larry Martin “Canadian Agriculture and Food: A Growing Hunger for Change: Sector in Decline or Industry of the Future? The Choice is Ours” Canada should be poised to capitalize on this opportunity to feed the world. We are uniquely positioned due to our vast tracts of arable land, abundant water, infrastructure, and long experience in the sector. These advantages should result in more and better employment, investment, and opportunities.

ENERGY | WIND POWER

Halt wind turbines until rural concerns satisfied: Ont. lobby Compensation for farmers an issue | The Ontario Federation of Agriculture says conflict arises over noise and harm to birds BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Ontario’s most powerful farm lobby is calling on the province to suspend expansion of rural-based wind turbines until issues of farmer compensation and rural politics are settled. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has urged a halt to “the invasion of rural Ontario with industrial wind turbines.” With almost 2,000 megawatts of wind turbine capacity, almost all in rural Ontario, the province is responsible for more than one-third of Canada’s wind turbine industry. “The development of green energy, primarily wind, has happened faster than the electricity grid’s ability to handle it,” OFA president Mark Wales said. “It also has highlighted society’s inability to deal with the fundamental issue because it is happening so fast.” He said there are issues of farmer payment, but the large windmills also bring conflict to rural areas. “Most disconcerting of all is the impact wind turbines are having on the relationships across rural communities,” Wales said in a published commentary on the issue. “When wind developments come to a community, neighbours are pitted against neighbours. The issue of industrial wind turbine development is preoccupying the rural agenda.”

The national wind power lobby took issue with the OFA position. “We are surprised and disappointed the OFA is proposing to put thousands of jobs at risk in Ontario and limit the ability of farmers to participate in Ontario’s clean energy economy,” Canadian Wind Energy Asso-

ciation president Robert Hornung said in a statement issued after the OFA announcement. Wales said the OFA is calling for a moratorium until some of the issues can be resolved. Among them are the fact that wind turbine energy is often generated at night when electricity

demand is low and the power generation is lost. “Green energy is going to be part of the solution, probably forever, and farmers will be part of it,” he said. “But is there a way to store it to make it available? Is there a way to make sure farmers are properly compen-

sated? Can we deal with local conflicts?” He said in Ontario windmills tend to be near residential areas and that can lead to complaints about noise, landscape blight and injury to birds. On the Prairies, wind turbines are usually far from communities.

FOOD SAFETY | CONSUMER AWARENESS

Poor kitchen hygiene = illness Food-borne illnesses investigated | Unsafe cooking and food handling to blame for most cases BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

TORONTO — When incidents of food-borne illness erupt in Canada, the search for a culprit usually turns to the farm or food processing sectors. However, a new report from the Conference Board of Canada argues that the attention paid to those two parts of the food chain is usually exaggerated. Of almost seven million cases of food-borne illness estimated in Canada each year, far more than 70 percent occur because of errors at the food services level or improper food handling in the home, says report author Daniel Munro, principal research associate at the conference board. “There is room for improvement in all stages of the supply chain and on-farm and processor would be part of that, but the risks at those stages are relatively well managed,” he said during a conference board food conference. “The highest risk is at the fork end of the chain, so what consumers do or don’t do in their homes is critical. Restaurants and cafeterias also are a focus.” In the report, Improving Food Safety In Canada, Munro also suggested that Canada increase its inspection of imported food and food products. “We’re concerned about the fact that we’re getting more ingredients from other countries, especially countries where food safety systems are suspect or simply unknown,” he said. “The lack of certainty and the lack of knowledge is cause for concern.

We’d like to see more efforts to take a look, in fact, at what is coming in.” He conceded that “you can’t inspect everything, but one of the virtues of the inspection system is that it may induce others to comply with the rules that are out there.” In his report, Munro concluded that on-farm food safety programs are effective. “The vast majority of food produced on Canadian farms is safe,” he wrote. “Contamination leading to illness is rare.” However, the view is not as rosy further up the chain. “One subsector in the

food industry has a food safety track record that is poorer than the rest: firms in the food service subsector, which includes restaurants, catering businesses and schools, hospitals and long-term care dining facilities.” He said an independent study estimated that as much as 70 percent of the problem occurs in food service establishments. And then there is the way Canadian cooks deal with food inside the home. “A large share of food-borne illness is a consequence of consum-

ers’ poor storage, handling, preparation and/or cooking practices,” he wrote. In the interview, Munro said better consumer education is key, although the message about safe food handling is already out there. “Consumers know what they are supposed to do. They just don’t do it,” he said. “They know they are not supposed to leave the chicken out, they know they are not supposed to use the same knife for vegetables and meat, but they don’t always recognize the risk and they take shortcuts and terrible things happen.” So why does so much media and public health attention focus on farm and processor sectors, even though they are not likely to be the main problem? “Some of the most high-profile cases tend to locate their source at either the manufacturing level or the farm,” he said. “The second point is that if something

FOOD SAFETY TIPS Even with food safety inspection and monitoring at processing facilities, food-borne illnesses still occur when proper handling and cooking practices aren’t followed at home. To prevent illnesses such as E.coli or salmonella: • Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before and after handling food, after handling pets, using the bathroom, sneezing or coughing or after handling uncooked eggs, raw meat, poultry or fish. • Use a fresh dish cloth each day to wipe kitchen surfaces and launder dirty cloths in hot water. • Have at least two cutting boards in your kitchen: one for vegetables or fruit and the other for solely meats. Bacteria can lurk in the deep cuts made in cutting boards, no matter if the board is made of wood, plastic or glass, so don’t chop up a salad on a board used to cut up chicken pieces. • Disinfect your cutting boards after washing them in hot, soapy water with a solution of 1 tbsp. (15 mL) bleach per gallon (4 L) of water.

goes wrong at that level, it will likely affect more people than if something goes wrong in your home. You affect your family and it’s not going to make news.”

• Put dirty kitchen sponges or scrub brushes in the top rack of the dishwasher to disinfect them. • Use a meat thermometer in the deepest part of the meat to test for doneness, but be sure to wash the probe in hot, soapy water before reinserting it to test the meat again. • Don’t leave sprouts, seeds or beans on the cupboard for any length of time. Warm, humid conditions can cause bacteria to grow. Be sure to wash produce thoroughly before eating. To remove waxes and residues, use a clean spray bottle and a solution of 1 tbsp. (15 mL) lemon juice, 1 tbsp. (15 mL) white vinegar and 1 c. (250 mL) water and let the produce sit five to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

ALBERTA | FARM TO PLATE STRATEGY

Producers seek government support for local food Specialty markets | Initiative addresses barriers, regulations BY SUSAN HODGES FREELANCE WRITER

VERMILION, Alta. — Alberta farmers attending a recent local food meeting hope that a new government initiative will eliminate regulations and barriers. “The province has been so focused on export markets that those of us who have been trying to supply the true local food movement have been so challenged by the regulatory process. It has made it almost impossible to be successful,” Colleen Biggs of TK Ranch near Hanna, Alta., said at a meeting that Alberta Agriculture held in Vermilion last month to explain the Explore Local Initiative. “I am hoping that the government comes to realize that there are two food systems in this province. There is a food culture where the local food movement is and then there is a commodity based food system that we come to rely on as a society.” As a livestock producer, Biggs said having to deal with regulations can cripple the small producer. “The industrial food system needs to have a federal system just because

of the inherent risks. I am specifically a meat producer, so when you are killing 4,500 head of beef a day in a plant, you need to be measuring the risks that are inherent in that system. When you are killing 40 head of beef a week at some of these smaller plants, there are different risks,” she said. “The risks aren’t as high as these federal plants just because you just have a much lower volume of animals going through. Yet these smaller plants are regulated in the same way and the regulatory process is very onerous because they just don’t have the personnel in place to be able to manage that kind of regulatory system. I really feel that we need to take this one step further back and start looking at more sustainable onfarm processing and having a regulatory process around that.” Viking producer Shannon Ruzicka said the process initiated by the Alberta government to explore local food options is already having a positive effect. “The conversation has started to actually shift to realize, especially with government who set this up, that there is a need for local food and

to preserve local food,” she said. “That is huge as a local producer to see that we do have some local support that’s trying to ensure our success.” Kathleen Charpentier, who raises poultry with her husband, Richard, on their Sun to Earth Farm near Castor, Alta., agreed that the meetings have been beneficial. “I feel that the voice of the farmer who is not a commodity producer, but one who concentrates on relationship marketing in the local feed system, that that voice is not often heard,” she said. “Today was an opportunity to express the policies that need to be changed to support us and that there is something wrong with commodity production. What about if you are just a farmer that produces locally and sells locally? Because we are not a big corporate entity, that voice rarely it’s heard. We need to start creating government policy around it. We are really good at creating government policy for exports, but what does it look like for just feeding l o c a l l y . T h e re i s a d i s t i n c t i o n between the two.”

With the Berglunds’ cow-calf operation being the centerpiece of the family ranch, it is no surprise that Jarid was concerned about how his organically raised livestock are portrayed. All of the cattle on the 26-quarter ranch near Kennedy are looking particularly good this year. A mild winter has meant the average steer is 100

pounds heavier than it was last year. Jarid, along with his father and partner, Jack Berglund, have cultivated a market for their organic beef in Eastern Canada, finding that demand and prices are higher in the East. “Organic is really big around Toronto and in Quebec. They can’t kill them fast enough,” said Jarid. The Berglund ranch in southeastern Saskatchewan is a family affair with Jarid and his wife, Brittany, working with Jack and his wife, Terry. The senior Berglunds are secondgeneration farmers who are proud to have their son and his wife as integral parts of the operation.

They’re also pleased to have their three other children actively involved in the ranch. Oldest son Blake helps occasionally with farm work while he launches his singing career. Daughter Jody owns land and daughter Casey, a dietician, supports the production of organic meat from her home in Edmonton. Jack’s parents wanted him to leave the farm they founded in 1924, but country living was Jack’s true calling. “I guess they weren’t as optimistic as I was,” said Jack. His decision to stay on the farm resulted in rodeo involvement, ownership of an auction mart and the growth of an organic grain operation. He said he had an easier time accessing eastern beef markets because of the knowledge he gleaned as owner of the Arcola Livestock Auction from 1982-88. With dense soil and well-treed land bordering the Moose Mountains, the Berglund ranch was suited for raising organic oats, hay, barley and flax. The grain end of the operation officially went organic in 1998 and the beef was certified in 2007. As an incorporated entity, the Flying B Ranch and Co. also operates oilfield services. “I’ve always taken a keen interest in nurturing the land,” said Jack. “Initially, we did it for monetary reasons, but I always disliked spraying, and with our type of land, we have good weed control with tillage alone.” Jarid, a champion calf roper and avid horseman, said staying on the farm was a logical choice for him, both economically and in terms of the close-knit rodeo and ranching family they have in the area. “Being where we are provides one of the best opportunities to get into mixed farming because of the landscape, and land is still relatively cheap here compared to a lot of parts of Canada,” he said. While Blake has chosen not to make his home on the ranch, he has made a name for himself in music, being honoured with the Rising Star Award at the 2011 Saskatchewan Country Music Awards. “Being raised on a farm has kept my music real and has allowed me to create a very authentic sound and style,” said the 28-year-old touring musician, who still returns home between gigs to feed cattle, make hay and ride horses. “I love getting up at 5 a.m. and getting on the tractor. With all of the hustle and bustle of life on the road, going around and around for 15 hours a day is my escape, my meditation.” Terry has been a part of the farm, supporting all her children. Following Jarid on the rodeo circuit and Blake on his tours means rising early and going to bed late. “We don’t miss a show within a 200 kilometre radius so there’s been a lot of 4 a.m. mornings,” she said.

HOBBIES | MAKING MUSIC

Fiddler shares his passion for music

Playing favourite tunes by ear | First Stradivariuslike fiddle belonged to a brother and was bought from Eaton’s catalogue for $2.98

BY CHRIS PUTNAM FREELANCE WRITER

CANORA, Sask. — There may be fiddlers older than John Kovach in Canada, but few of them can claim to be as active. The retired farmer, who turns 82 at the end of February, still shares his music at Western Canada’s major shows each year, and performs at least once a week in more local venues such as his region’s seniors centres. A native of St. Paul, Alta., Kovach has spent the last 24 years living in Canora, the hometown of his wife, Anne. She died eight years ago, but he remains a fixture of the community. Family was an important influence on an eight-year-old aspiring musician growing up in St. Paul in the 1930s. Kovach’s Ukrainian parents were talented singers, though neither played an instrument. His first fiddle, a Stradivarius copy purchased from the Eaton’s catalogue for $2.98, was a castoff from his older brother, who abandoned the instrument in favour of a guitar Young Kovach had more of an aptitude for the fiddle than his brother. Having since learned both instruments, Kovach believes great guitarists and great fiddlers are made a bit differently. “To do a good job on the fiddle, you’ve got to have smooth fingers, and fairly soft. Guitar is just the opposite.” Kovach learned to play the fiddle on his own, first by reading music. However, he eventually started to feel his reliance on a book was holding him back, and ever since he has played what he hears. “I think it even works better by ear because when you play by ear you learn to listen to the music, and it stays with you.” Kovach keeps a catalogue in his head of several hundred songs and learns three or four new tunes a year. His older brothers were Kovach’s first band, one of about eight groups he has played with over the years. The venues changed through his lifetime along with his band mates. The outdoor weddings and concerts of his teen years gave way to indoor shows in the 1940s as community halls were built after the war. Live performances at house parties faded away when festivals and com-

petitions became the places to be. His years on his farm a few kilometres from the land homesteaded by his father are something Kovach speaks of with pride: 30 years as a pedigreed seed grower and 35 as a breeder of registered Polled Herefords. But when it came time to retire, Kovach gave himself over fully to his music. Age hasn’t slowed down his playing. He suspects the extra practice has made him better than he ever was. “I play more now since I retired. I have more time. I seem to like it better now.” The freedom of retirement brought the fulfillment of lifelong dreams, such as a chance to perform in the 1990s in Branson, Missouri, where Kovach said “they love the Canadian fiddlers.” Then five years ago, at a party organized in Canora to celebrate his 70th year of fiddling, Kovach played alongside Vic Mullen, one of the last surviving members of the band from the Don Messer’s Jubilee television show. “It was an honour,” Kovach said. “It was overwhelming.” Like his first instrument, Kovach’s preferred fiddle today is a copy of a Stradivarius: this time a quality German-made antique found by his brother 15 years ago in a pawn shop. It reeked of tobacco when he got it, “but I didn’t buy it for the smell.” As recently as 10 years ago, Kovach regularly met fiddlers older than himself at festivals and competitions, but that hasn’t been the case in some time. His own health has had a few downturns since his wife’s death, but Kovach has every intention of celebrating his 75th fiddling anniversary this summer. He hopes to debut his first CD by then. The friends gained from a lifetime of music will be invited to a party much like the last one. “Or maybe a little bigger.”

HOCKEY SEASON | GET-TOGETHER RECIPES

After a physical game, re-energize with ribs and dessert TEAM RESOURCES

JODIE MIROSOVSKY, BSHEc

inter seems to be such a busy time at our house w i t h h o c k e y p l a y o f f s, team tournaments, school parties and other activities. It seems as though there are times when we are living out of suitcases, or getting part of a night’s sleep curled up on a team bus. Even my wardrobe revolves around whether the garment is warm enough, looks decent and will stay clean at the rink. Roads trips require a lot of planning but always prove to be a good time, giving us laughter and good memories. The kids, parents and coaches that make up the teams become our extended family for the season. We see them more than anybody else. We share the joys of winning and console each other in times of loss. And each year when the sports season ends, there is a real sense of withdrawal. As a hockey mom, I always wonder what has happened to my social life. And as much as I long to stay home during the busy season, when it is all over, there is something missing. I need my rink family. Food is always a part of sports, and I always try to have food available that is nutritious but that doesn’t require utensils. The following recipes are menu choices that you can take along when you travel or are going to a group meal.

Cut the ribs into manageable sections. Sprinkle ribs with seasoning salt and pepper and brown in the oven. Once browned, place in the slow cooker and place the onions over the meat. Mix the flour, barbecue sauce, honey, mustard and soy sauce together and spread over the top of the meat and onions. Cook on low for six to eight hours or on high for three to four hours. Remove ribs from the slow cooker. Skim the fat off the top of the sauce and return the ribs to the sauce. Serve with hot mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Beef ribs can also be used. These ribs are a favourite at our house served cold as leftovers. Cut them up into individual pieces and take them along in the cooler. You can also cook these ribs on the barbecue or in the oven if desired. Source: Kraft Canada.
