BANFF, Alta. — There were no tuxedos, golden statuettes or A-list celebrities posing on the red carpet for idolizing fans. But for western Canadian plant breeders, last week’s Prairie Grain Development Committee meetings in Banff could be viewed as the plant scientist’s equivalent to the North American film industry’s Academy Awards. The best and brightest plant breeders brought forward their newest and most promising plant creations to be scrutinized by industry peers and considered for commercial registration. The winners — or more accurately, the new plant lines that are supported for registration — have a reasonable chance of emerging as the future stars of western Canadian agriculture, crops that could one day be growing on hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of acres of farmland.

Canadian farmers are in the midst of an income boom that will soften in the next few years but remain strong by historic standards into the decade. This was the key message of an Agriculture Canada farm income forecast released Feb. 20 that projected Canadian realized net farm income this year at almost $5.3 billion, 86 percent above the 2006-10 average. The projection is down 11 percent from 2011, but last year set a farm income record of almost $6 billion in realized net farm income. The numbers show that Saskatchewan has become Canada’s agricultural powerhouse, boasting a 2011 realized net farm income (income minus expenses and depreciation) of a record $2.27 billion, the best provincial result in Canada. This year, despite a projected 20 percent decline to $1.9 billion, the province will remain the provincial gold standard, far outperforming Ontario, Quebec and Alberta. Saskatchewan agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said it is a happy combination of higher grain prices, high yields in areas not flooded last year and an increase in program payments in 2011 because of flooded acres. “It’s really on both sides, the grain side and livestock, where prices are improving dramatically, and the numbers reflect that we’re in a really good spot right now,” he said.

Promising new crops for 2012 Among this year’s emerging stars? A solid-stem, low cadmium durum line developed at Swift Current, Sask., and a select winter wheat line that could serve as a replacement for CDC Falcon in the eastern Prairies. The solid-stem durum, known by its pre-registration name DT818, could be a significant breakthrough for western Canadian durum growers, said Agriculture Canada durum breeder Danny Singh. The solid-stem trait offers natural resistance to the wheat stem sawfly, which can cause significant economic losses due to reduced yields, grade discounts and increased fuel and maintenance costs at harvest time. Prairie wheat farmers have had access to solid-stem red spring varieties for several years, most notably AC Lillian, but DT818 is the first durum variety to offer the important characteristic. “Stem solidness is a trait that we are currently lacking in the C WAD (durum) class, so this line would be targeted for the wheat stem sawfly region,” Singh said. The new winter wheat line, known by its experimental name W478, could be an important addition to the winter cereals industry because it is considered a strong candidate to replace CDC Falcon, a popular CWRW variety in southern Manitoba. Falcon is slated to be removed from the Canada Western Red Winter Select class, meaning the variety will no longer qualify for the top milling grade or command premium prices from the market. The new line, developed in Lethbridge by Agriculture Canada wheat breeder Rob Graf, has short, strong straw, maturity a couple of days later than Falcon and a disease package that includes moderate resistance to stem rust, intermediate resistance to leaf rust and fusarium headblight and resistance to stripe rust. “This is one that could potentially be seen as a replacement for Falcon,” said Graf. “On the disease side, it’s got a pretty

nice package. It doesn’t have resistance to bunt … but we’re working on that so it will be coming in the future.” Graf said W478 is among a handful of new lines that could fill the void left by CDC Falcon. AC Flourish, formerly known as W343, has already been registered for commercial production by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, but seed multiplication is expected to take at least another 18 months. The first certified seed supplies for Flourish will likely be available to commercial grain growers in the fall of 2013. Another potential replacement, W454, was supported for registration in February 2011 and is expected to receive CFIA approval within the next few months. Moats, which was developed at the University of Saskatchewan, has good production potential in the eastern Prairies but has slightly taller straw and is more comparable to CDC Buteo, another variety that is slated to be downgraded from CWRW Select class to CWRW generic. The list of lines supported for registration this year include: • four new red spring wheat lines • three new hard white lines • two new Canada Prairie Spring red lines • four new durums, including DT818 • one Canada western red winter line • one spring spelt • three milling oat lines • three new barley lines, including a pair of two-row malts • one green lentil • nine yellow pea lines • two green pea lines • seven bean lines • three new flax cultivars • three general purpose wheat cultivars, including one purple seeded specialty line with high levels of anthocyanin, an anti-oxidant compound that is also common in grapes and blueberries.

CWB revenues make big jump Revenues up 18 percent | Western Canadian farmers receive fourth largest payout in history BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian Wheat Board revenues surpassed $6 billion last year, despite lower export volumes and a poor quality crop across much of Western Canada. According to the CWB’s 2010-11 annual report released last week, overall revenues rose about 18 percent to $6.07 billion in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2011, up from $5.15 billion in 2009-10. Western Canadian farmers received $5.5 billion for their grain deliveries, the report added, the fourth highest payout in the board’s history. “This occurred despite the fact that the 2010-11 harvest produced one of the smallest and lowest grade crops on record,” CWB president Ian White said in the report. “Record rainfall left millions of unseeded acres, delayed crop development and damaged harvest quality, directly impacting farmer incomes.” White described 2010-11 as a year beset by poor growing conditions, low yields, poor crop quality and significant rail transportation problems. Total wheat production was estimated at 21 million tonnes, down from 24.6 million tonnes the previous year. Only 38 percent of the Canada Western Red Spring wheat crop was

graded No. 1 or No. 2. The CWRS wheat class is by far Western Canada’s largest, accounting for 75 percent of the wheat acres sown each year. In a normal year, 68 percent of CWRS production falls within the top two grades. Durum quality was also poor with only 21 percent of CWAD production meeting the top two grades. Poor production and below average quality had a noticeable impact on grain exports. Total exports of wheat, durum and barley were estimated at 15.8 million tonnes, the lowest volume in six years. Domestic sales amounted to roughly 3.2 million tonnes, including 2.7 million tonnes of wheat, 290,000 tonnes of durum and 211,000 tonnes of malting barley. White said one of the CWB’s biggest challenges involved moving prairie grain to port. “Sourcing, segregating and transporting grain were extremely complex due to factors including Canadian Pacific Railway performance problems, bad weather that hampered farm deliveries and limited supplies of high quality grain,” White wrote. “However, at the end of the day, there were some significant successes from the CWB’s role in the wheat supply chain.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Farm income sets new record in 2011

New federal farm programs coming

By contrast, Manitoba is projected to have the worst farm income results this year at $21.2 million, a 95 percent decline from last year when program payments helped offset some of the flooding losses. “Clearly our sector is struggling right now,” Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney said. “With the flooding hangover, many farmers could not take advantage of the higher prices.” The Agriculture Canada projections, backed up by Statistics Canada figures that reported a record 2011 farm income, led to claims last week that these are golden times for most Canadian farmers. Commodity prices are higher, trade is increasing, farm asset value is growing and the next few years look like more of the same. The higher commodity prices more than compensate for projected production costs in 2012 that are 12 percent higher than the 2006-10 average. They also do not account for record levels of farm debt and the fact that debt servicing costs are one of the fastest growing expenses despite record low interest rate levels. “There is a lot of optimism in the industry right now,” Farm Credit Canada senior vice-president for marketing Lyndon Carlson told the

Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting Feb. 22. “It is evident in farmer decisions to invest.” Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz agreed. “It’s certainly a great time to be in agriculture,” he said during a Feb. 24 news conference from Washington. “Today more than ever, agriculture is front and centre.” Even Ontario, Canada’s largest agricultural province, has rebounded after years of meager farm returns despite multibillion-dollar sales. In 2012, the province is projected to have realized net farm income of

$1.14 billion compared to a previous five-year average of just $250 million in a $9 billion farmgate sales economy. “Finally, the stars are lining up well for hard-working Ontario producers,” Ontario agriculture minister Ted McMeekin said. CFA president Ron Bonnett said the income projections are good news. “It is always good to have some good news.” But at the CFA meeting, he also warned farmers to be cautious about spending or investing based on the assumption today’s returns will become normal.

With farm income soaring and agriculture ministers in the final stages of negotiating a new five-year policy framework, Saskatchewan minister Bob Bjornerud sees a window to make farm programs better. But he doesn’t expect that to happen and comments from other ministers last week support his pessimism. Good farmgate returns could become a reason to turn attention away from farm support programs as federal and provincial ministers finish their negotiations on a new Growing Forward five-year framework this year before its April 1, 2013 implementation. “There are negotiations going forward on the next suite of farm programs,” federal minister Gerry Ritz said Feb. 24 in response to a question about the impact of high farmer income projections on negotiations. “Farmers themselves are focused more on science and technology and innovation and they’re looking for more trade. They’ve always said they prefer to get their money from the marketplace and not the mailbox.” Many provinces facing demands that deficits be cut also could see farmgate prosperity as a reason to reduce support payment projects.

(Farmers have) always said they prefer to get their money from the marketplace and not the mailbox. GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

Ontario’s rookie agriculture minister Ted McMeekin suggested in a Feb. 24 interview the province’s previous refusal to sign a new Growing Forward far m suppor t agreement because it could short-change farmers may no longer be valid. “We hold these (Growing Forward) discussions with a shared sense of purpose and that is to grow our farmgate in any way we can,” he said. “The new Growing Forward will be a reflection of how we deal with that although it is helpful to go in with a positive (farm income) base.” Bjornerud said in an interview that with the Saskatchewan government running surpluses while most provinces have to cut spending, good farm returns make farm support programs an easy target for cuts. But he said this is the time to fix faulty farm supports when there will be little draw on public treasuries in the near term. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

U.S. CANADA TRADE RULES | STANDARDIZATION

Unified cross border rules for ag trade sought Integrated North American market | Ag minister Gerry Ritz says agriculture trade is ‘essential to our economic growth’ BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was in Washington last week, with agricultural business representatives in tow, to promote a greater meshing of commodity rules across the Canada-United States border. He promoted more standardized grain grading and variety registration rules, co-operation in lobbying for international rules that allow lowlevel presence of unapproved genetically modified material in shipments and cross-border livestock trade free of the restrictions imposed by U.S. country-of-origin labelling. Accompanied by representatives of the Canadian Wheat Board, Canadian Grain Commission and Grain

Growers of Canada, Ritz took advantage of a meeting with grain and milling leaders to promote more open grain trade in the aftermath of the CWB single desk post-Aug. 1. Ritz also used his Washington meetings with administration officials and industry groups to promote American support for Canada’s request to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks. “As each other’s largest trading partner, we need to continue working together to make sure trade can move at the speed of commerce and benefits the agriculture industry on both sides of the border,” Ritz said Feb. 24 in a news conference from Washington, noting that millions of jobs in both countries depend on agricultural trade.

“Like never before, the flow of agricultural trade is essential to our economic growth.” Ritz drew approval from the agricultural export groups travelling with him. Canadian Pork Council president Jean-Guy Vincent praised the minister for promoting hog and pork exports, arguing the need for an “integrated North American market” for pork and hogs. Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Travis Toews credited Ritz for making trade rules a priority. Grain Growers executive director Richard Phillips joined the chorus, noting that agriculture, food and feed products are the top five trade items going north and south. The Conservative government is

working to make sure farmers earn their money from the market and not government payments, he said in a Feb. 24 statement. “We really appreciate the very proactive role our minister and government overall are playing in ensuring we have as many options as possible to sell our crops.” In a Feb. 27 interview, Phillips said discussions in Washington offered the frank American opinion that if post-CWB rules result in increased grain flow south, they will need better access for delivery to the Canadian system as well to make the new regime look fair to U.S. producers. It may require Canada to consider how American milling wheat is graded in Canada and its possible equivalency to Canadian

milling grades. “As far as what will happen after Aug. 1 when it comes to grain flows, it still is an unknown,” he said. “But clearly, discussions about the rules have started.” Although Ritz did not end his Washington visit with concrete announcements, he told reporters Feb. 24 the Canadian delegation and their American counterparts found common ground on many issues. The U.S. cattle and processing industries agreed with Canadians that the American administration should not exercise its option to appeal a World Trade Organization ruling on country-of-origin labelling by March 23 but instead accept the verdict that COOL rules impede trade and should be revised. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FARM PROGRAMS | CROP INSURANCE

Crop insurance only assistance option for Sask. growers BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

There will be no AgriRecovery program for Saskatchewan farmers affected by disastrous weather this year, agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said last week. After paying out about $1.4 billion over the last two years to help farmers and ranchers deal with excessive moisture, both Ottawa and Regina say the coverage offered through Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. will have to do for 2012. This year’s program includes the option to top up unseeded acreage coverage to as much as $100 per acre. Typically, the benefit offers $70 per acre, less a deductible. Last year, an AgriRecovery payment of $30 per acre was also available.

“This year, what the difference is we’re giving producers the option to buy up the additional $15 or $30 extra coverage, which really in a way replaces the excess moisture payment that producers got last year,” said Bjornerud. The cost to obtain that extra coverage is 53 cents per acre for an additional $15, or $1.06 per acre for $30 more coverage. Bjornerud said ad hoc programs are not bankable for producers or governments. Governments aren’t forcing producers to buy crop insurance, he added. Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president David Marit said he understands why governments have put the onus on farmers to protect themselves, but some

farmers were excluded from the program because they ran into financial difficulty and couldn’t pay their premiums. “I would hope they would review the list and offer them the chance to get back in,” he said. Marit said the government seems to be trying to enhance crop insurance enough that farmers will want to participate. Last year, 75 percent of farmers in the province bought insurance on 23.1 million acres. Eight million acres went unseeded because of flooding. Premiums up slightly Coverage for 2012 will be $174 per acre on average, or about $1 higher than last year. Premiums will also be higher, at an average $8.91 per acre

compared to $8.72. The province has budgeted $177 million for its share. Changes have been made to the calculation formula for the unseeded acreage benefit. The insurance intensity formula has been removed and the seeding intensity formula changed so that summerfallow acres no longer affect claims. Shawn Jaques, acting general manager at SCIC, said the corporation historically included summerfallow in the belief that idle land should be planted. Land that was left fallow affected claims by putting farmers over the payment threshold. However, he said farmers leave land idle for various reasons. “We felt that we shouldn’t be penalizing producers for leaving land idle and that’s why that was removed

from the calculation,” he said. The insurance intensity calculation originally limited farmers to a payment based on the percentage of acres they insured. For example, if a farmer was paid the unseeded benefit on 185 acres and insured 60 percent of his acres, he was paid on 60 percent of 185 acres. Now, the full payment will be made. “We found that over a 10-year period the majority of the producers insured all their acres with us,” Jaques said. “It was just a calculation that didn’t make a lot of sense anymore. It was adding complexity to the program.” Other changes for this year include increases to the establishment benefit from $20 to $25 per acre for oats, canaryseed, fall rye, spring rye and triticale. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FUNDRAISING | IMPORTS

Import levy benefits research, promotion Fundraising tool | Producers missing an opportunity BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Laurent Pellerin, Farm Products Council of Canada chair, urged Canadian farmers last week to consider using a 19-year-old legislative tool allowing them to raise money from imports to fund research and promotion. Under the Farm Products Agencies Act, national promotion-research agencies can be established for commodities with the power to collect levies on all imports as long as they have a similar research levy collected on domestic sales. With potential revenues of millions of dollars, the money could be used to fund research and promotion campaigns for their product. Canadian exports into other markets including the United States have paid a similar levy for years. “If there is a vehicle out there that can advance producer interests, it should be looked at,” the former president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture told the annual CFA meeting. In fact, only the Canadian cattle industry has used the legislation and an industry leader offered an explanation — it is a complicated and difficult process. “It’s kind of like a spider web,” New Brunswick Cattle Producers’ chair Jennifer MacDonald told the meeting. “If you’re thinking about it, have fun.” T h e c at t l e i n d u s t r y re c e i v e d access=subscriber section=news,none,none

approval from the FPCC in 2002 to create an agency. The national council oversees the agencies. But after a decade, the Canadian beef national check-off agency does not yet have the ability to collect levies on imports. It has required long and intricate negotiations to get all provinces to sign on with the support of their governments. The last two provinces didn’t join until 2010. Then the Beef Information Centre and the Canada Beef Export Federation were disbanded to unite as Canada Beef Inc. Negotiations over who would collect the levies were a shock, she said. The assumption was that the Canadian Border Services Agency would collect the levies. At first CBSA said it was not equipped for it and had no mandate. But FPCC intervened to say it was a CBSA mandate. The border service agency then told the beef industry it would charge up to $1.5 million annually to collect fees estimated at $800,000 to $1 million. “It was back to the drawing board,” said MacDonald. The process has been “slow and painful,” said MacDonald. But she also retains her enthusiasm for the concept and she urged other commodity sectors to consider it.

AGRI-BUSINESS | RETAILER OPPORTUNITY

Farm retailers see pros, pitfalls in post-single desk Gearing up | For decades the Canadian Wheat Board system has determined to a large degree how the western Canadian grain trade operates. But as the CWB sales monopoly appears to be ending, farm groups, grain companies and regulators are installing a new set of gears for a changed marketing machine. In this series, Winnipeg-based reporter Ed White looks at changes happening throughout Winnipeg’s grain trade, which has long served as the main base of operations for the industry.

gri-retailers work between the farmers they supply and the grain companies that buy the farmers’ crops. They have expanded in recent years and now hire agronomists and production experts to coach and assist farmers. So what does the end of the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly mean for the hundreds of prairie agriretailers? Members of a panel considered that question during the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers’ recent convention, and like most aspects of the post-monopoly world, there were no definitive answers. The panelists saw both opportunities and risks. “Now everything is fair game, and I think the ag retailer out there can look at how do I fit into the farmer’s farm, and how can I be a better fit for him providing a full service from early in the seeding time right through his marketing and assisting him in his marketing decisions?” said Dale Heide, president of Manitoba grain company Delmar Commodities.

Brad Vannan of ICE Futures says agri-retailers could expand their services to include marketing assistance. | FILE PHOTO “If he’s got 100 key customers, is there a revenue stream for providing that at a local level, independent of the grain (company) system? Is the farmer willing to pay for that type of service?” Heide, Brad Vannan of ICE Futures Canada, southern Manitoba farmer Rolf Penner and western Saskatche-

wan farmer Bill Woods all thought there could be new roles for farm supply and service businesses to play in the post-monopoly world. Vannan, whose commodity exchange is offering new futures and options contracts for wheat, durum and barley, said some agri-retailers could offer marketing assistance as a

new line of business. “A lot of the agri-retailers in this room have a lot of experience in providing agronomic intelligence and how to utilize that agronomic intelligence. Now (they could) shift over to the other side of the page,” said Vannan. “Not just how to produce a crop, but once it is produced, how to get the most out of it. There are opportunities there.” Woods said the prairie grain industry will likely face more rationalization of grain companies and service providers as the open market removes some of the supports that helped smaller players compete. “When it becomes more competitive, the bigger players have an advantage,” said Woods, a former farmer-elected wheat board director. He expects farmers will earn less money without the wheat board monopoly, which will not help overall business for farm input and service providers. New roles might appear for existing companies, and new processing

opportunities could attract new players, he added, but it is not a general gain for the agriculture sector if it is based on lower values for grain. However, Penner thought farmers will make more money and be more interested in new services now that the wheat board monopoly is about to be eliminated. “There will be more money on the plate for the farmer,” said Penner, Manitoba vice-president for the Western Canadian Wheat Growers. “There will be a great incentive to increase acres of wheat of those board crops, particularly wheat.” Penner said risk management is more complicated for wheat than most other crops, and farmers will need to develop skills in that area or find someone who can help them. Heide said he thinks the CWB system narrowed the range of wheat varieties grown, and that the open system will allow processor needs to be better matched with the varieties promoted to farmers. That creates another opportunity for local farm service and input suppliers, he added. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CANOLA | PRICES

Demand drives canola Prices climb as oilseed crushers and exporters battle for supply BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The tug-of-war between oilseed crushers and exporters has pushed canola futures prices to five-month highs. Crushers have been running flat out in recent weeks. Capacity utilization for members of the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association was 96 percent for the week ending Feb. 8. Year-to-date use is 89.6 percent, up from 83.8 percent a year ago. “Utilization is pretty good given the amount of expansion that has gone on in the industry,” said Pat Van Osch, vice-president of oilseed processing with Richardson International, which operates two canola crushing plants in Western Canada. “There is demand coming from three strong directions, which is allowing us to keep our plants running.” Crushers were able to book canola oil sales into the United States at parity with soybean oil values last fall. “That has allowed us to capture a greater share of that particular food oil market,” said Van Osch. The U.S. biodiesel industry also provided strong demand. The U.S. federal mandate calls for 37.9 million

litres of biodiesel consumption in 2012, up 25 percent over 2011. Lastly, there are good canola oil exports to offshore markets such as China and the European Union. Van Osch said crushers would be happy to continue operating at 96 percent capacity but he doubts that pace can be sustained for the remainder of the 2011-12 crop year. “I think we might find a challenge in seed supply as this thing unfolds,” he said. A big battle is shaping up between crushers and seed exporters. Agriculture Canada forecasts 6.8 million tonnes of domestic crush versus 8.1 million tonnes of seed exports in 2011-12. COPA members had crushed 3.7 million tonnes as of Feb. 22, while exporters had shipped 5.3 million tonnes of seed as of Feb. 19. Canola seed shipments are especially brisk. Exporters are on pace to ship 9.8 million tonnes, so demand is going to have to be rationed at some point. The fight between crushers and exports is creating “phenomenal” basis levels in Manitoba, said Darren Frank, senior market analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions. “It’s $18 to $20 (per tonne) over

(futures) all the way through the summer,” he said. Most people in the trade now forecast 800,000 to one million tonnes of carryout, which is below Agriculture Canada’s estimate of 1.1 million tonnes, said Frank. “It’s a tight situation.” The battle between crushers and exporters will only intensify as more crush plants open in North America. Northstar Agri-Industries has completed construction of its plant in Hallock, Minnesota. The facility, scheduled to open in May, will initially process up to 325,000 tonnes of canola seed annually. Bunge is more than doubling the capacity of two of its four plants in Western Canada. The expansion of the plant in Altona, Man., which will increase annual capacity to 912,500 tonnes from 401,500, is expected to be ready for this year’s harvest. The expansion in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., which will more than double the plant’s 310,250 tonne annual capacity, is expected to be complete in 2014. Legumex Walker Inc. has started building a 380,000 tonne crushing facility in Warden, Washington, which is set to open early next year. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

GRAIN QUALITY | PRICE PREMIUMS

Demand growing for lower quality, lower priced wheat BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Prairie farmers have often been told that the grain they grow is far superior in quality and value to those grown in the former Soviet Union. According to a number of speakers at this week’s GrainWorld conference, that’s true about quality but false about value. That means prairie farmers have been selling BMWs to Ford buyers at Ford prices. “We think we’re in a really good position, but actually Canada’s

behind,” said Toepfer Canada president Lawrence Yakielashek. Former Canadian Grain Commission grading expert Fraser Gilbert, who now works for private grading firm S GS, compared Canadian export wheat quality with contract specifications. The comparisons showed shipments that far exceeded the quality specifications of the contract, including one shipment that required No. 3 Canada Western Red Spring but was actually No. 1 with 14.7 percent protein. In another case, he showed wheat

that met the specifications for a No. 1 but had far lower ergot than the specifications required. That probably meant that a lot of grain with higher ergot was downgraded and unnecessarily kept out of the shipment. “To make up this parcel, I’m guessing that there were an awful lot of farmer deliveries and deliveries from the country that were basically No. 1 product that had ergot, so it got downgraded,” said Gilbert. “We need to look at these types of things.… By and large, we far exceed, in quality, what the contract is asking for.”

Wheat varieties with lower baking quality and lower protein often yield much better, so higher-yielding varieties will likely earn the farmer more money if prices are similar, some speakers said. Gilbert said high quality wheat no longer brings big premiums from most buyers because baking technology has caught up. “The millers around the world are becoming very used to using what’s grown locally or imported at the best price with adjuncts,” said Gilbert. “They’re making absolutely good products with what we would con-

sider poor wheat.” Yakielashek said low quality, bulk wheat that the former Soviet republics produce well is what the world market wants. “Destinations like Bangladesh, Mexico, Indonesia, Korea, Iran, they can’t afford (high quality wheat),” he said. “This is the new world going forward. We’re going to have to adapt to this.… This is what I believe is going to be our new quality of wheat we need to produce and export. And that’s not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all.” access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Risk of 2012-13 surplus rules against deferral pricing New crop versus old | Both work out to about $7 per bushel BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers holding wheat stocks have an important decision to make in the next two weeks. The sign-up deadline for the Canadian Wheat Board’s Series B contract is March 15. It’s the same deadline for the board’s fixed price contract and its basis price contract for the May and July 2012 futures months. So the question is — do farmers sell their grain into the old crop or new crop market? “The market is really probably telling you to sell into old crop versus holding it,” said Alberta Agriculture crop market analyst Charlie Pearson. There is little difference between the CWB’s Pool Return Outlook for No. 1, 13.5 percent protein wheat and what grain companies are offering in their new crop contracts. Both work out to about $7 per bushel at port. Pearson believes wheat prices will not be strong enough next fall to risk carrying over the grain. The International Grains Council (IGC) has raised its world wheat proaccess=subscriber section=markets,none,none section=markets,news,none

One analyst suggests locking into fixed price contracts to eliminate uncertainty. | duction estimate for 2011-12 by five million tonnes to a record 695 million tonnes. It also raised its ending stocks to a record 211 million tonnes. Darren Frank, senior market analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions, agreed with Pearson’s assessment. Spring wheat is now an inverse market where nearby futures are trading higher than the back months. “That’s always a sell signal,” he said. His company has been taking out

CWB fixed price contracts on low grade wheat. In its latest PRO commentary, the CWB said abundant production and stocks from the 2011-12 harvest don’t support current futures levels. However, there is always a chance that wheat prices will rise if growers shy away from the crop in 2012-13. The IGC forecasts a 1.5 percent increase in global wheat acreage in 2012-13, but production is expected to decline to 680 million tonnes

because of dryness in the Ukraine and the United States. The CWB said the expected drop in next year’s wheat production is overshadowed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s expectation for a doubling in U.S. corn ending stocks in 2012-13, driving average corn prices down to $5 per bushel. Wheat prices tend to follow corn prices. “Wheat is likely to continue to face some downward pressure in terms of

prices,” said Pearson. That means growers should either sign up for the CWB’s Series B contract, use its fixed price or basis price contracts or forward price their remaining wheat supplies into the new crop year. “I wouldn’t carry it forward unpriced,” he said. Growers may find the wheat board’s fixed and basis price contracts preferable to new crop contracts because they provide farmers with a good idea of what they can expect in terms of grade and protein spreads. “If it was me, the first choice would be to have a hard-core look at fixed price contracts,” said Pearson. “It eliminates that uncertainty.” If a farmer decides to go the pooling route, there is a chance the grade and protein spreads in the current PRO will change, but the CWB has already priced 63 percent of the expected 2011-12 crop year deliveries of wheat, so it is unlikely those values will change dramatically. Some farmers are determined to sell their wheat into the open market once it arrives Aug. 1. Pearson said that approach is fine, but they should lock in their prices now and they need to keep in mind that they will be left in the dark in terms of grade and protein spreads.

Record cow prices hinder herd expansion; hog numbers up BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Canadian cattle producers are starting to retain heifers for breeding, but 2011 was not a herd expansion year, says a market analyst with Canfax. Statistics Canada said replacement heifers as of Jan. 1 rose 4.3 percent from a year ago, but cow numbers fell one percent to 4.2 million head, continuing a falling trend that started in January 2006. “Overall our breeding herd last year still shrunk,” said Brian Perillat of Canfax. “Even if you combine it with the increase in heifers, we still are not keeping enough heifers to replace the decrease in cow numbers,” he said after the StatsCan report was released Feb. 21. The report found 550,000 head were held for breeding but Perillat said the 10 year average retention rate is about 600,000 head. To rebuild the herd, fewer cows must be killed and more heifers must be held for breeding. The cow kill is slowing, but with quality cows at 70 to 80 cents a pound, it is tempting to continue selling. However, so far this year, breeding bull sales are strong as producers bring in new herd sires. “The salvage value on old bulls is extremely strong so that gives you a good down payment on a replacement,” Perillat said. In some cases these cull bulls were bought as yearlings for around $2,200. When they are sold into the cull market as mature animals for 85 access=subscriber section=markets,none,none section=markets,livestock,news

cents a pound or better, the rancher is paid back in full. The first two months of this year have seen record prices for 550 pound calves. “The big story is in calves. They have jumped 45 percent in the last three years,” he said. “That is what is going to spur any kind of expansion. The cow-calf guy needs to see the big bucks and they will respond in keeping cows and heifers back,” he said. “It is going to take some time to

regain what was lost. It won’t take one or two years. It will take more just to gain back everything you have lost,” he said. Statistics Canada said total beef cattle inventory was 12.5 million head, up half a percent from a year earlier. There were about 1.4 million dairy cows and heifers on 16,270 farms, unchanged from last year. Alberta’s cattle herd on Jan. 1 stood at 4.995 million, Saskatchewan’s at 2.6 million, Manitoba’s at 1.165 mil-

lion and British Columbia at 540,000. Expansion in hogs After years of poor returns and a national sow cull, hog inventories are growing again. Statistics Canada said there were 12 million hogs on farm Jan. 1, up 1.1 percent from a year earlier. It reported 1.3 million sows, down fractionally from a year earlier and 1.3 percent fewer than in 2010. Domestic hog slaughter totalled

21.3 million head in 2011, down 0.1 percent from 2010. Slaughter in the fourth quarter of 2011 was up 2.4 percent from the same period in 2010. Slaughter prices rose through 2011, reaching levels in the second half not achieved since 2004. Exports in 2011 were still 8.4 percent below the number exported in 2009 and 41.8 percent lower than in 2007, the year before the 2008 introduction of American country of origin labeling regulations.

CORN | OUTLOOK

Forecast for healthy corn stocks depends on optimistic yield MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

he U.S. Department of Agriculture’s forecast last week of a record large U.S. corn crop in 2012 and a doubling of stocks by the end of 2012-13 took the wind out of the grain market’s sails. The forecast is based on a seeded area of 94 million acres, harvested area of 87 million acres and average yield of 164 bushels an acre, producing a crop of 14.27 billion bu.

Total supply is pegged at 15.086 billion bu., total use at 13.47 billion and carryout stocks at 1.616 billion, up from the critically tight 801 million expected this year. The yield outlook is based on a long-term trend of increasing bushels per acre thanks to improving seed genetics, but the short-term trend has been one of disappointing yields. The 2011 crop averaged only 147.2

bu. per acre, compared to 152.8 in 2010, 164.7 in 2009, 153.9 in 2008 and 150.7 in 2007. The five year average is 153.86. So you can argue that 164 bu. per acre is a bit ambitious. If you knock it back to 155 bu. per acre, which is still better than the fiveyear average, and keep the other acreage and consumption numbers the same, the carryout for 2012-13 falls below the critically tight one bil-

lion bu. mark again. With good weather, 164 bu. per acre is certainly attainable. And what is the chance of having a third year in a row of problem weather? However, corn users should not become complacent based on headlines that tout a doubling of stocks w ithout consider ing the yield assumptions that underlie the forecast.

D3s rose $1. Rail prices climbed to $143-$148. Butcher bulls rose $2.31 to average $87.19 per cwt. Weekly exports to Feb. 11 were 3,899 head, down four percent.

Steers heavier than 800 lb. were steady. Light stocker heifers rose $1.50-$3, while those heavier than 500 lb. traded mostly steady. Weekly auction volume of 30,642 head was steady, but year to date volumes are down 12 percent. Feeder exports so far this year are up 43 percent. Replacement heifers could rally if moisture improves. Feeder “fever” in the U.S. has added support to the Canadian feeder market, and exports could increase.

higher with the Choice cutout nearing a record, while the Select cutout has set a new all-time weekly high. The Montreal wholesale market for delivery this week rose $2 to $213$215. Weekly Canadian cut-out values to Feb. 17 saw AAA rise $1.73 and AA climb $2.53. Canadian fed slaughter to Feb. 17 was down four percent to 41,740 head. Year to date fed slaughter is down seven percent.

Placements totalled 1.889 million head, down two percent, and marketings were 1.774 head, up two percent. The slightly better-than-anticipated marketings were expected to support nearby futures, while the placements data supported deferred month contracts.

CANFAX REPORT The strong U.S. fed market, stronger beef prices and a reduced show list pushed fed prices to their highest point this year. The Canfax fed steer average was $115.88 per hundredweight, up $3.27, and heifers were $116.30, up $3.14. Alberta rail steers were $192.85-$196.75 per cwt. Northwestern U.S. packers showed interest, forcing domestic packers to strengthen bids. Reduced captive supplies improved interest in the open cash market, cleaning up the show list. Sales volumes totalled 14,916, down nine percent from the previous week. The cash to futures basis narrowed 44 cents to -$13.42. Weekly fed exports totalled 6,524 to Feb. 11, up four percent from the previous week. The Chicago cattle futures upward trend, fueled by drought-reduced herd numbers, staggered Feb. 23 when the monthly cold storage report showed increased inventories, indicating reduced export and domestic beef demand. But there is a seasonal tendency for cash cattle and futures prices to rise through mid-March.

COW PRICES UP access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

D1,D2 cows rose $1.50 per cwt.

LIGHT YEARS AHEAD

FEEDERS RISE Auction volumes were steady, and strong demand continued on all types of feeder cattle. Steers generally traded $1.50 per cwt. higher and 300-600 pound stocker steers were up $1.25-$2. Improved fourth quarter live cattle futures and ongoing grass cattle interest supported 600-800 lb. steers, which rose $2-$3.

BEEF STRONGER U.S. beef cutouts traded sharply

U.S. CATTLE ON FEED U.S. on-feed supply as of Feb. 1 was 11.571 million head, up two percent from a year ago and within the range of trade forecasts.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG PRICES EDGE HIGHER U.S. packers slowed slaughter but were not able to push pork prices higher. The U.S. monthly cold storage report indicated pork supplies are backed up in freezers due to tepid domestic and foreign demand for product at current prices. Late in the week packers were forced to pay more for hogs to meet their needs for the following week. The head of Tyson said high meat

prices and expensive gasoline could cause U.S. consumers to have fewer barbecues this spring. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs traded at $64.50 US per hundredweight midweek, but rose to $66.50 Feb. 24, up from $64 on Feb. 17. U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $85.77 Feb. 24, down from $86.87 Feb. 17. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.12 million, down from 2.15 million the week before.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | COST CUTTING

CRAIG’S VIEW

Devil is in the details of grain commission review

ost of us are aware that the main motive of the federal Conservatives’ review of the Canadian Grain Commission and the Canada Grain Act is cost cutting. That should not automatically be viewed as a bad thing. It’s no secret that the federal government has wanted to change the CGC for years. It recently streamlined the governance structure and last year the CGC held a series of meetings to gather suggestions about how it could become financially self sufficient. Those meetings focused on which service fees the CGC could increase to offset its $50 million annual deficit. That could lead to a doubling of fees farmers pay. At the least, the government and the CGC owe it to farmers and other stakeholders to conduct a thorough review of potential areas for savings before instituting large fee hikes. But the devil will be in the details. One idea would be to use the public purse to fund programs deemed to be for the public good. While farmers have primary responsibility to produce quality products, services such as inspecting grain can be directly linked to consumer health and safety and as such, farmers should not be forced to shoulder all of the costs. Other services the review is bound to examine include inward and outward weighing and inspection fees. They now account for 83 percent of the commission’s revenue it charges in service fees in a normal year. Inward inspection fees cost $25.68 per car in Canada in an average year, compared to $18.08 in the United States. To remain competitive, Canada must get these expenses down. Inward inspection could be made optional with little significant risk to grain quality. Grain companies settle with farmers on grade and dockage when farmers deliver to primary elevators, so there is little value in inspecting the grain again at port, especially if the same company owns the primary terminal and port facility. However, it is key that farmers retain the

right to have deliveries officially inspected if requested. Third party inspections must also be available to companies that lack their own port facilities. CGC or third party inspections must also be maintained to settle disagreements between farmers and grain companies. Outward inspection could also be made optional. The CGC did away with all weighing and inspection requirements for shipments to the United States in 2009 with no ill effects. If U.S. and domestic grain buyers are satisfied with the quality, there is no reason to believe quality for overseas customers would suffer. Key to this, however, is a provision that inspections services be made available to buyers who want added quality assurance on a fee-for-service basis. This would help ensure Canada remains a key player in the high end of the market. Other important changes concern current provisions that the CGC operate in the interests of farmers. That mandate would change to have the commission act for the benefit of the entire Canadian population, including farmers. It promises to be a hotly debated point that may diminish farmers’ voice in the grain handling system. On the other hand, if the CGC is serving a broader public good, there may be increased opportunities for public funding. The issue of licensing and bonding of grain buyers is also bound to be contentious, but any decision must be guided by providing the best possible producer security. T h e C G C mu s t a l s o hav e p ro p e r enforcement tools. This does not close the door to a less expensive producer security method if one can be developed, but present suggestions of a clearing house fund to provide farmer security require further details.

CANADIAN FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE | RELEVANCE

Oldest farm organization sidelined in Conservative majority era NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

t was a symbolic moment that reflected a significant shift in the place the Canadian Federation of Agriculture occupies in the national agricultural debate. As the CFA met in Gatineau across the river from Ottawa for its annual convention last week, there was not a government representative in sight. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz declined an invitation to speak

because he was travelling and did not even bother to send a substitute government speaker. Opposition agriculture critics came, but with a majority government, what they have to say is relatively small potatoes. It would be wrong to see this as a ministerial snub. Ritz knows how to do a snub (more later) but this simply was a reflection of the new government-farm lobby reality. After more than 75 years of being Canada’s primary ‘house of agriculture’ farm lobby, the CFA largely has been sidelined by this government. It continues to do effective behindthe-scenes lobbying with the government but is no longer the go-to farm lobby. It is not a comment on CFA staff, leadership or competence but just a reflection of changing times

and the Conservative agenda. Last week when the CFA had hoped to have him as a speaker, Ritz was on a trade mission to Washington, accompanied by the government’s new best agriculture sector friends — representatives of grain and oilseeds, pork and beef sector representatives who buy into the Conservative view that agriculture policy really is trade and deregulation policy. They praise the Conservatives fulsomely. The CFA, with members stretching over a far broader range of the spectrum, always have to nuance their attachment to the government of the day. A too-close alliance with the Liberals a decade ago has created nothing but grief for the CFA with this government, a crowd with long memories.

The CFA is the oldest farmer organization in Canada and was once the organization that no federal minister could ignore. Major government initiatives were announced there, billions dollar bailouts were done at CFA meetings and even when the news was bad (if Lyle Vanclief’s $500 million subsidy really was bad when CFA expected $1 billion), it was done at the CFA. As recently as last year, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff made his pre-election pitch for rural votes at the CFA convention, as did Bloc Québecois leader Gilles Duceppe. Ritz, after being appointed minister in 2007, quickly set a different tone. He didn’t need the CFA and he made it plain in his first speech that since they were on the fence on Canadian Wheat Board changes,

opposing government plans unless there was a farmer vote, the federation did not matter to him. You are with me or against me. Fence sitting was not an option. Now, the government priority is expanding trade, deregulating and reducing government. The CFA supports most of those goals but they are not front line soldiers, more policy than trade advocates and clearly suspect because of their past Liberal ties and inclusion of the CWB as a member. In the modern Canadian political context, the CFA’s more nuanced approach is lost in the shuffle. Its day may come again but last week’s government snub suggests that it won’t come anytime soon as long as the Conservatives are in power.

ENGINEERING SHOW | WINNERS

Australia challenged to reduce emissions

New farm equipment built for U.S.

BY GEORGE WINTER

oss Garnaut, in a special report commissioned by all the governments of Australia, is proposing to pay farmers big money for biosequestration. Garnaut has advanced a plan to extend over many years, and much of what he has written describes how Australia must proceed to remain a member in good standing of an international community trying to solve its climate problems. How much money might be involved? Numbers are hard to get when you are forecasting the future, but current international (Kyoto) rules suggest farm revenues from sale of carbon credits of $2.25 billion, which is the value of the Australian wool crop. Other studies of the land use sector suggest a speculative figure as high as $40 billion per year payments to farmers for biosequestration activity. The interesting thing about the Garnaut report is that agriculture and forestry are singled out as possible solutions to the Australian climate change problems. This is because carbon farming on available land could sequester twice the carbon currently emitted in the whole country. But Canadian farmers will be interested in the Australian approach to climate change for at least two additional reasons: Australian farmers will benefit whether they are believers in climate change or not; and the Canadian situation is similar to the Australian. If it can happen there, why not here?

Forestry and agriculture offer possible solutions to climate change, says the Garnaut report. | FILE PHOTO Look at the similarity of the Canadian situation. Our farm sector produces about $40 billion in sales in any year. The Australian farm sector is about the same size. Our mining and petroleum sector produces a huge export surplus and sends up clouds of emissions to go with it. Australia is more specialized in the export of coal and iron ore, but it has the same emissions problem. Aus-

tralians sell more to the Chinese, we sell more to the Americans. Our emissions per person rank with Australia and the United States as the largest in the world. Fortunately, the Australians have an enormous land base currently used for forestry. They claim their forests are the largest in the world on a per person basis. Ours are also huge. They have huge areas of low quality

grazing, and large areas of dryland cropping, but only small irrigated acreage. Canada has the same. Australia’s major agricultural problem is drought, which is also threatening their big cities. Our major agricultural problem is a cold winter that limits the growing season and precludes double cropping. All in all, when it comes to confronting climate change, the Australian and Canadian situations are similar. How will farmers in the two countries benefit? Any action to mitigate emissions will almost inevitably involve charging the big industries an incentive charge based on a carbon dioxide equivalent in their emissions. This is the so-called carbon tax. The incentive charges get very big very fast in industry. Of course farmers will have to pay a carbon tax based on fuel use, fertilizer gasification and methane emissions. Big companies will be able to reduce emissions over time, but it won’t be enough. Biosequestration will be needed. In the final analysis, one does not have to believe climate change is real, only that the guy who agreed to pay you for growing trees or other activity will in fact pay. Garnaut is not a climate scientist, but he believes the evidence that climate change is real and anthropogenic is overwhelming. He says Australia must do something. It must work with other countries or become a pariah nation. George Winter is professor emeritus at Athabasca University. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

FARM INCOME | SETTING RECORDS

Let the good times roll in all agriculture sectors HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

anadian farm income records were shattered in 2011. This wasn’t true on every farm, in every region or in every sector of agriculture, but you can’t quibble with the aggregate numbers. And those numbers reveal an absolutely astounding year for most Saskatchewan producers. Producers unable to seed due to flooding aren’t participating in the strong returns, but producers who grew a decent crop have been mightily rewarded. The latest farm income statistics show a realized net farm income of over $5.9 billion for the nation. Ontario and Quebec both had good years,

with realized net income of just over $1.2 billion for each province. Saskatchewan’s realized net farm income was nearly $2.4 billion, equal to Ontario and Quebec combined. Net farm income was only $432 million in flood-stricken Manitoba. In Alberta, where the livestock industry dominates, realized net income went from negative $100 million in 2010 to $496 million in 2011. While a huge improvement, it’s dwarfed by the returns in Saskatchewan. Even the analysts are surprised. Late last year, the realized net income projection for Saskatchewan was less than $600 million. Grain prices stayed higher than expected. The quality of the crop was great and cattle prices saw a dramatic increase that carried through the fall calf run. Realized net income includes depreciation costs, arguably making it a good benchmark to examine. According to the officials, their methodology doesn’t allow depreciation to be accurately allocated between the different kinds of farms. Thus, net operating income is the measurement used when breaking out the

income per farm. The average Canadian farm had a net operating income of just over $65,000 last year, but this varies dramatically from one type of farm to another. The average potato farm had a net operating income of more than $250,000. Poultry and egg producers averaged slightly less than $200,000. Both dairy and hogs averaged more than $140,000. The average grain farm improved to more than $88,000. The big surprise is cattle farms. The cattle business is finally enjoying some record high prices, but the net operating income of the average cattle farm was a mere $8,000 in 2011. While the cow-calf business is finally profitable, the industry has a lot of producers with herds of only 50 or 100 cows. The farm family makes most of its money from other farming enterprises and/or off-farm income. So what will 2012 hold? The analysts are calling for another good year with only a small decline in farm income. Frankly, though, when you can’t predict the weather and you can’t predict major international

events, forecasts often miss the mark by a country mile. The medium term outlook has some interesting observations. By 2021, crude oil prices are expected to reach $130 per barrel. The analysts believe the influence of biofuels on world agricultural markets is likely to strengthen. With the expectation of further growth in corn-based ethanol, a structural shift in the corn-wheat price ratio is anticipated. In other words, corn prices will outdistance wheat values. Soybeans will keep pace with corn due to strong growth in vegetable oil demand. Soybean demand will help keep canola strong. The total assets on an average Canadian farm are now worth nearly $2 million, buoyed by rising farmland prices. Average liabilities are nearly $350,000 meaning the average net worth is $1.6 million. The industry, especially the grain sector, has seldom been healthier. What a change from the doom and gloom of a decade ago. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE, MANAGING EDITOR

Ag engineers list the best new builds in the industry including some from here

OUISVILLE, Ky. — Each year, the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers provides its list of the top 50 innovations in agriculture and food production engineering. It does this at its annual agricultural technology meeting and each year there are a number of AE50 winning technologies that are applicable to farming in Western Canada. Often there are one or two honourees that are from the Prairies, hotbed of farm equipment innovation that it is. This year, MacDon from Winnipeg won for a new design in a hay header, a great tool for Canadian farmers. However, the company will likely sell a lot more of these into the American market than our own. The other 49 innovations for 2012 came from elsewhere. I have been covering these awards for years and I can’t remember an AE50 that had as many winning products that are directly useful to prairie farmers. Often there is a lot of corn and soybean equipment although less this year (sorry Manitoba — hey, I try to grow the stuff in the Regina Plains, too) and there are many innovations that recognize fruit and vegetable farming. There are specialty crop tools for cotton and peanuts and the list goes on, with usually about 20 percent pertaining directly to prairie agriculture. Don’t get me wrong: those are still 10 or so outstanding products chosen by an independent body of engineers, and I look forward to their decisions every year and we report on those products. This year, 32 are a direct fit, four that could work and six more for Manitoba’s corn and soybean region. I don’t have room for all of them in the paper this week, or even over the next few weeks. What we’ll have to do is write about some of them this week (and last), list the rest and continue to report on them over the next few months. Luckily, we covered some of them pretty thoroughly before or when they reached the market. The real AE50 winners are western Canadian farmers who will benefit from all this technology. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

Re: Pesticide ban position questioned, by Robert Arnason (WP Feb. 16). A conclusive proof of pesticide harm is impossible. Cancer is a horrible disease with a substantial mortality, so it is unconscionable to be exposing people, especially young children, to unnecessary health risks. Hence the need to eliminate urban pesticide exposures. Throughout Canada, there has never been any intent to apply pesticide bans in agriculture. We assume that farmers are intelligent enough to protect themselves, as well as their

families and hired workers, against pesticides applied in the fields. On the other hand, we note that in the congested urban environment, the population at large, including children, is entirely unprotected against dermal and inhalation exposures to chemicals and their breakdown products applied in city neighbourhoods. It is also noteworthy that urban pesticides are usually absorbed via inhalation and skin and thus go directly to the brain, bypassing the liver, the cleansing organ, whereas some pesticide residues in food can be washed off and the remainder is cleansed by the liver after the food is ingested. Obviously, pesticides applied in the

congested urban environment and absorbed by totally unprotected populations are much more likely to prove dangerous to human health, especially that of young children, than relatively insignificant pesticide residues in food. Furthermore, the enormous suffering caused by multiple environmental sensitivities should not be ignored. Under the circumstances, what kind of scientific connection are we talking about? How can one possibly prove that an urban neighbour’s herbicide was specifically to blame? True, there have been epidemiological studies of farmers and other occupations, such as employees of chemical plants, showing an

increased risk, but these kinds of results can only be indirect. Callous indifference to the pesticide exposure risk is not the answer. If we are going to err, we ought to err on the side of caution. Finally, it is highly noteworthy that Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency is very weak in epidemiology. Under the circumstances, the PMRA is totally unqualified to evaluate the still unsurpassed monumental study by the Ontario College of Family Physicians. K. Jean Cottam, PhD, Ottawa, Ont.

I would not be in a rush to adopt the recently suggested methods of drying grain with aeration fans at night versus daytime. I have dried hundreds of thousands of bushels with fans since 1980, when I acquired my first six or seven, five and 10 horsepower inline fans. We have since added a number of centrifugal fans ranging from four to 15 h.p. as we acquire more bins. In the earlier years we ran our fans 24/7 as advised by Frank Flaman, the first real supplier of such equipment. A number of years later, Frank printed a retraction — almost an apology — that they had been wrong. Fans should not be run in the rain. If I recall, they were still recommending they be run 24/7 other than in periods of very high humidity. In our experience, we have found the process to be most effective when running fans for drying purposes only during day hours — more or less the same hours that our combines are at work — and running them for cooling and preservation purposes only on the cool nights. My strongest arguments to back up my above comments are, in my experience, my crops in the field tend to dry in the daytime and get tougher at night, and I believe that utilizes the same air as the fans would utilize. Roger Laventure, Leoville, Sask.

DRAINAGE ISSUES To the Editor: Saskatchewan, we have a problem, and it is water. How does this happen when there are laws in place where land alterations are concerned? Anyone with the right equipment, it appears, can head out and alter their land to drain this slough and that one, yet no one is monitoring these alterations until it’s too late? But apparently those laws don’t come into effect until somebody complains about someone draining land above them. Till that proverbial wheel starts squealing, is there attention paid? I’m here to tell you that the wheel is deafening us and our neighbours at this moment. Hiding under the guise of “state of emergency” laws is appalling. Is it a

OPINION licence to drown out people below you? How about maybe finding out how this water problem came about in the first place? Why just pass it down from one RM or community to the next? That is not a solution; it is just a lot of grease in the right place at the right time. We happen to be sitting on, and own, two major waterways, a.k.a. the ravines that drain naturally into the Alameda dam. We could have easily drained every acre that we farm, but we never have because it is illegal. There are supposed to be laws against it. Our farming and ranching practices, and those of our neighbours, are drastically being compromised, and for whose gain? Certainly not ours. We can see the value of our land declining as the water rises on our cultivated acres and so-called

“wasteland,” or what we call our pastures. We are mixed farmers. Normally, every acre we own is put to use in our operation. And before you pass judgment on us, thinking that we may “squeak” too much, put yourselves in our position. We did not ask for this, nor want this, but are we to pay the ultimate price for other’s errors? Kathy Sloan, Alameda, SK.

TIME TO END IT To the Editor: Re: the Canadian Wheat Board. I have been farming for 70 years, but did not plant a crop in 2010 as we got flooded out. The CWB was a farm saver years ago. The corporations’ elevators

would lower the price of grain at harvest. Farmers had to sell. My father sold grain as low as eight cents. When the CWB came in, it was a good thing. They set the price so the corporation elevators could not rip us off. We always got a fair price. Then we lost the Crow. My profit was gone; I would live off the freight. Now when you sell to the CWB you pay freight, cleaning and handling. They used to pay 70 percent up front, now they pay $1.80 up front with the balance in a year. I wrote a contract in 2010 that said I would get $5. I turned down $4.50 in the bin, no freight, line elevators. I got $4 and it took a year to get it from the CWB. Five years ago I wrote a contract for malted barley. They told me what to grow. They did not call the barley in and I had to sell it a year later at a loss. The CWB has run its time. We never

hen Idi Amin began his brutal repressive activities in Uganda in the 1970s, the Aga Khan saw the writing on the wall. His Ismali Muslim followers in that country were threatened with brutal extinction, so he ordered them to evacuate the country immediately. But where can thousands of displaced people go? He appealed to prime minister Pierre Trudeau for help, and Canada immediately welcomed these people. Their leader, one of the most powerful men in the world, has since lauded Canada for seeing its way clear to welcome those of a different race and religion. It is with this in mind that the Aga Khan Foundation has set up the Global Centre for Pluralism in Ottawa. It is amazing how well we get along in this country with our mix of ethnic, racial and religious diversities. Though we are far from perfect, our doors and our attitudes are constantly growing wider. Our uniqueness and our strength lie in doing more than just tolerating each other. Slowly we are finding ways to cross the barriers that would otherwise leave us to continue living as separate ghettos. The Aga Khan set the bar in a speech in 2010. “The world we seek is not a world where difference is erased, but where differences can be a powerful force for good, helping us to fashion a new sense of co-operation and coherence i n o u r w o r l d … ( w h e re w e c a n ) together build a better life for all.” This openness and understanding toward the cultures, social structures, values and faiths of others are not just essential to the survival of an interdependent world but to our communities, where we live with the newest members of our families.

Awaken® ST enters Canadian market

Rancona

“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.”

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.

Even though the courts have ruled the action as illegal, Gerry Ritz, minister of agriculture, and the Harper government, are proceeding to disband and seize the assets of the Canadian Wheat Board. Lying is considered to be “free expression.” Conservatives admitted to spreading false rumours about Irvin Cotler in his Ontario riding. Bullying is considered to be a political tactic, as in the character assassination of Stephane Dion and Michael Ignatieff. Wow. What good family values these Conservatives are promoting. They seem to be ignoring the Bible teachings on honesty, respect and integrity.

I was the first farmer to get the 50 year award for growing wheat for 50 years.

GRAINWORLD | NEW CO-ORDINATOR

New atmosphere evident at revamped GrainWorld Marketing, weather, economy | The conference, once organized by the wheat board for 20 years, had an open market flavour BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

It wasn’t hard to tell that the Canadian Wheat Board didn’t organize

this year’s GrainWorld conference. Some of the speakers and messages seemed to be a polar opposite to the usual theme of the conference, which has been operating for more

than 20 years. Instead of being told that prairie farmers are benefiting from being able to sell high quality wheat for premium prices, speakers said prai-

rie farmers are wasting effort on growing types of wheat for which the world won’t pay a premium. “We’re getting our butts kicked because we don’t have to be the best access=subscriber section=news,none,none

quality in the world,” said Lawrence Yakielashek of international marketer Toepfer. Some of the speakers were avowed foes of the old monopoly CWB. Jim Pallister, who farms near Portage la Prairie, Man., compared the new wheat board act, which removed the C WB’s monopoly, with the Homestead Act, which opened up the Prairies to settlement. “What the federal government has just done with our grain industry is a similar act in nation-building,” he said. “It’s nothing less than the privatization, the return to normal private property, of the entire wheat, durum and barley industry.”

OPEN MARKET SUPPORTER

For the

Ultimate

An hour before Pallister was lauded at the conference, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, the killer of the CWB monopoly, gave a celebratory speech, noting the “great victory” in court defending the new CWB legislation, which is “the beginning of a new era.” Anti-monopoly activist John DePape was scheduled to moderate a panel discussion about marketing the next day. Yet the basic function of the conference was the same, as new impresario John Duvenaud pointed out at the

beginning of the two-day event. “It’s a good thing to have accurate information,” said Duvenaud, talking about the history of U.S. Department of Agriculture agricultural price outlook conferences and the evolution of this Canadian version. The CWB picked up the conference that became GrainWorld after Brian Mulroney’s federal Progressive Conser vative government dropped it, and Duvenaud has picked it up now that the CWB has dropped it. Former GrainWorld chair Bruce Burnett of the CWB congratulated Duvenaud on being willing and able to organize the conference. “It really is a big task,” said Burnett. “He had a very tight timeline to do this. He stepped up and came through with an excellent program for us.… We all need to take a look at how the impacts of not only the economy, but the weather and other things, are going to influence planting decisions and eventually the crops we produce here in the next year.”

INDUSTRY SUPPORT | FUNDING, INFORMATION

Producer groups seek national barley council Voluntary checkoff | Council would provide advice on developing niche markets and products STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A national barley council is in the early stages of discussion among farmers and companies that use the grain for food, feed and malt. Its function would be similar to the Canola Council of Canada or Pulse Canada to promote and research a grain that is losing ground to other commodities, said Rob McCaig, managing director of the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre. Ten producer and industry groups are involved in the working group that meets monthly either through conference calls or in Winnipeg. The council could also support barley breeders with funds and advice on how to develop niche markets for malt, feed and food products. ‘We do not support our variety researchers as well as we should compared to other countries in the world,” said McCaig at the recent Western Barley Growers Association convention in Calgary. A value chain round table could also step up marketing and development of new products so farmers can make more money, said McCaig. Funding would come from a voluntary checkoff collected at the point of use so farmers, maltsters and brewers would contribute. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Barley acres are down 20 percent in 20 years, mostly losing out to canola. “For farmers, cash flow is king,” said Doug Robertson, a member of the working group. He is also president of the barley growers association. “A lot of people were tired of trying to get selected for malt because they couldn’t get a good price signal coming to them from maltsters, and they couldn’t sign contracts with maltsters, so that has depressed that acreage,” he said.

He does not see the council as a large physical structure with many employees. Nor would it diminish provincial associations because the working group has been advised to keep these associations strong so farmers continue to be represented. “We want to have as small a board as possible because the more people you get, the harder it is to make decisions but we want to make sure we have good representation of the industry and the producers,” he said.

Alberta’s strong suit has been barley production, partly because of the strength of the feeding industry. “In the past, that was the only way we could export barley if we didn’t want to use the board system, was to put it through an animal,” he said. With barley potentially earning more money for farmers, it could encourage them to lengthen their canola rotations and break the disease cycle that is plaguing the Prairies. “We all know we have pushed that

canola acreage more than we should have. On my own farm I know I am doing it but I have to survive another year,” he said.

OPEN MARKET | WATCHDOG ROLE

Barley growers rejoice over end of CWB monopoly After 35 years of activism, Western Barley Growers Association members were in a buoyant mood at their recent convention. The reason? An annual resolution to end the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board was finally moot since the passage of the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act at the end of 2011. Instead, the motion was revised to thank prime minister Stephen Harper and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz for pushing through the legislation.

It was welcome for lifetime association member Gordon Reid as he spoke to the motion after many years of protesting. “It has been a struggle for many, many years for me and my family,” said Reid, who farms near Cremona, Alta. Now that the board’s role has changed, the association still has work to do, said outgoing president Brian Otto. “Even though we are moving to an open market, there are a lot of things that we need to follow up on and

watch,” he said after the convention held in Calgary Feb. 16-17. “We don’t want over regulation in the industry. As we move forward in this open market, we still have things we have to get working properly,” he said. “It’s going to take three to five years.” The association wants to continue as a watchdog to provide farmers with information on market access, pricing information and learning where grain was grown and where it went.

“Probably 20 years ago there were situations where the market oversold itself by 150,000 tonnes. You have to have some way to monitor the supply for the whole industry,” he said. It is also interested in new forms of pooling, transportation reviews, risk management programs, learning more about global prices and insurance programs so producers get paid. “As we change the industry we have to adapt and there’s going to be things that we have to work on to get them working properly,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

PROMOTION CAMPAIGN | CONSUMER RELATIONS

New FCC campaign tells agriculture’s story Changing attitudes | New website will promote the industry and explain farm practices and how food is safely produced BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

GATINEAU, Que. —Regina-based government lender Farm Credit Canada plans to spend more than $1 million on a national campaign to promote Canadian agriculture. And a senior FCC official who announced the program Feb. 22 at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting said it is not a way to market services the crown corporation offers to farmers. “It’s not about us trying to make

more loans,” Lyndon Carlson, senior vice-president for marketing told delegates. “This is a cause, not a campaign.” The centrepiece will be a soon-tobe-unveiled website at www.agriculturemorethanever.ca, which will promote the industry, give farmers a chance to tell their stories and tout the industry to its consumer customers. “Never has agriculture mattered more to Canada and the world,” he said. “But we haven’t been good at getting our story out.” Carlson said later that the cam-

paign, including advertising, social media and video production, does not yet have an established budget. “But what we are planning cannot be done for under $1 million so it will be that or maybe more,” he said. One of the key and early targets of the campaign will be farmers themselves. Carlson said farmers over the years have grown accustomed to emphasizing the risks of the business, the bad years and the regular need for public support. “I ask all of us in the industry to

change our attitude, to get away from the glass-half-empty message,” said the FCC executive. “It’s like we’ve always been looking for sympathy.” That, in turn, gives younger people little incentive to get into the business. The first phase of the campaign will be to accentuate the positive and give agriculture a more positive image. It will explain modern farming practices, emphasize the role agriculture plays in the economy and in providing safe nutritious food and also give farmers information they can use to

answer their critics. He said a confident industry will be a stronger industry. As a sample of the message that will be available through the website, the campaign will tackle the widespread farmer argument that their children should look for a career that is more predictable, stable and profitable. Nova Scotia farmer Lisa Jenereaux takes the opposite view. “If my daughter was interested in farming, I couldn’t imagine a better life for her,” she says. “I mean, what could be better than farming?” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WHEAT PRO EDGES HIGHER

Authority 480 Pre-emergent herbicide

The Pool Return Outlook for wheat in February ranged from unchanged to up $6 per tonne over January depending on the class. Milling durum values were unchanged but Nos. 4 and 5 CWAD were up $5. Malting barley values fell $1 to $2. Dryness in Western Canada and the U.S. Great Plains gave Minneapolis wheat futures strength, relative to Kansas and Chicago. Increased talk of winterkill in Europe and the former Soviet Union also lent support. However, the Canadian Wheat Board believes the estimated 213 million tonnes of global ending stocks is not supportive of current futures levels. The International Grains Council forecasts 685 million tonnes of global wheat production next year. The spread between durum and spring wheat is narrow, which will dampen acreage expectations in Canada but a favourable crop insurance program will boost US durum plantings.

The producers, who belong to Manitoba Forage Marketers, manage their own farms and arrange their own sales, independent of the other members. However, they also share information about customers, prices and the most efficient ways to ship forage to foreign hay buyers. Chris Kletke, who farms near Brunkild, said the knowledge within the network has helped him get an optimum price for his forage. “The biggest thing is it is a price discovery tool,” said Kletke, who exports primarily alfalfa and wheat straw. He said it can be tricky to get a read on prices in a regional market because it requires information about supply and demand in a specific part of the U.S. The group, now in its third year, exchanges information to clear up the murkiness. “If you have a knowledge of what things are trading for … you can make sure that you’re getting a good return for your product or make sure you’re not pricing yourself out of a market,” Kletke said. He said members are able to balance competition and co-operation because they trust each other. For example, a member wouldn’t have to divulge the name of a hay buyer in Tennessee if he didn’t want to, but the more information a producer shares the more help he’s likely to receive in exchange. Manitoba Forage Marketers isn’t a co-operative, but members can refer potential buyers to each other if they are unable to fill the order themselves. It operates as a committee of the Manitoba Forage Council. “They are a pretty skilled group,” said Brent McCannell, executive director of the council. “They are moving a lot of hay this winter into the southern U.S. because of the drought.” Kletke said the association may expand beyond six producers, but the members will be careful about how they manage their co-operative network. “With this group, the biggest thing is the trust factor,” he said. “The challenge is building the group with producers that are on the same level … in terms of sharing market information and where product is moving.”

The lack of snow on the Prairies this year has producers worrying that their alfalfa might winterkill. “Whenever there is not a lot of snow cover, the chance of winterkill increases,” said John McGregor of the Manitoba Forage Council. “There are some producers, who in the back of their mind are wondering.” Two factors contribute to winterkill: • heaving is the freezing and thawaccess=subscriber section=news,crops,none

ing in heavier soil that lifts the taproot out of the ground and causes the plant to freeze • ice sheeting is a layer of ice over the alfalfa that causes the stand to smother It was ice sheeting that cost Darren Nikkel of Enchant, Alta., part of his alfalfa crop last year. Heavy snow at Christmas followed by a melt in January created a sheet of ice across the field. Temperatures of -30 C then wreaked havoc across the alfalfa fields. “We experienced a phenomenal amount of winterkill last year,” said Nikkel. While there hasn’t been much snow in southern Alberta this year, the conditions don’t seem to be lining up for a repeat of last year. “I’m not concerned this year,” he said. “I still think we should be OK. There is not a lot of extreme cold.” Soil temperature probes that monitor the top two inches of soil show that most areas across Manitoba haven’t reached the critical -12 C temperature, which causes the greatest damage. McGregor said there is little producers can do in the middle of winter to prevent winterkill. Prevention starts in the fall or summer with healthy stands, good nutrition and good regrowth. Farmers concerned about winterkill can dig up plants in the spring and check the crown and taproot growth. Taproots that are spongy in texture, watery and tan or yellowish in colour are likely severely coldinjured and deteriorating. McGregor encourages farmers who are worried about winterkill to begin lining up alternate feed to replace potential alfalfa losses.

FERTILIZER & ALFALFA According to research from Agriculture Canada and Manitoba Agriculture, applying 30 pounds per acre of phosphorus during seeding has been shown to increase alfalfa seedling size by four times compared to no phosphorus application. The best results are obtained when fertilizer is banded 2.5 centimetres directly below the seed. Good response is also obtained when the phosphorus is placed 2.5 cm below and 2.5 cm to the side of the seed. Banding can double the seedling size within 30 days of emergence compared to broadcast applications.

FARMLAND | RENTAL RATES

Crown land rents changing in Sask. Updated formula | New calculation will use previous year seeded acreage information BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan is updating the formula it uses to calculate the rent it charges on cultivated crown land. Most rents will go up, although they would have this year anyway. Over the next three years, Saskatchewan Agriculture will phase in a calculation using information from Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. to make the rent more reflective of current practices, said Wally Hoehn, acting director of the lands branch. The existing formula dates back to the 1970s. It used commodity prices that were nearly two years old and just four commodities: wheat, barley and either flax or canola. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then it made some assumptions, that 73 percent of the province was seeded to wheat and 17 percent was seeded to barley and then the other 10 percent was seeded to one of the other two,â&#x20AC;? Hoehn explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, it assumed a half-half rotation.â&#x20AC;? The new formula will use previous year seeded acreage information from an SCIC risk area. It will use up to 34 commodities and the guaranteed prices that SCIC uses for its insurance contracts. Hoehn said the rent should better reflect what the farmer is getting off the combine in terms of prices. This year, officials will compare last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rental rate to what the new rate would be if the formula were fully implemented and increase the rent by one-third of the difference. Next year, the increase will be twothirds of the difference and by 2014 the formula will be fully implemented. Hoehn said the average rate for 2012 is $19.34 per cultivated acre, compared to $13.03 last year. Renters are also responsible for the municipal taxes of generally between $5 and $8 per acre. He said if the existing formula had stayed in place, the rent would still have risen about 42 percent, on average. He added that looking at the commodity and the price provides potential revenue per acre. The province then considers the quality of the land and takes a percentage as its rent, ranging from 18 percent for the best soil to 12 percent. No one ever likes a rent increase, he said, but the rates are below what private landowners charge. The changes affect farmers who rent between 360,000 and 370,000 acres from the province. Most of the land is located in east-central and northwestern areas and much of it was part of the land bank put in place during the 1970s and discontinued in 1983. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are farmers out there whose entire land base would be cultivated crown lease,â&#x20AC;? Hoehn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the exception but there are a few guys.â&#x20AC;? In those cases the parents likely sold their land to the land bank and the younger generation took over the access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

land in the 1970s at reasonable rent. Letters went out to clients last week. They have until May 1 to surrender their leases without any liability for rent or taxes. Most rents are due Nov. 1. Meanwhile, rates for grazing on crown pasture are also going up due to the strong cattle prices last fall. The 2012 rate will be $6.09 per animal unit month.

BUCKWHEAT | PREMIUM

Buckwheat processor offers $15 per bushel contract Demand exceeds supply | New buckwheat varieties are high yielding and frost tolerant BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Mike Durand knows drastic action is needed to convince farmers to grow something other than canola when it is trading at $12 per bushel. So, to grab producers’ attention this winter, Durand has offered contracts of $15 per bu. for new crop buckwheat. “I think I’m raising quite a few eyebrows with my prices on buckwheat,” said Durand, sales manager of Nestibo Agra, a processor in Deloraine, Man., that handles sunflowers, flax,

soybeans and canaryseed. “Current crop I’m paying $17 a bushel. New crop I’m contracting for $15 per bu.” A few Manitoba producers turned to buckwheat as a last minute crop last year, thanks to a wet and late spring. As a result, buckwheat acres in the province increased to 7,000 acres from the 3,500 to 5,000 acres that have been planted over the last several years, Durand told DePutter Publishing. Acres in 2012 should be similar to 2011 or slightly higher, he added. Growers who seeded buckwheat

last spring were glad they did because many fields produced yields of 30 bushels per acre or higher. Last year’s crop may have been larger than previous years, but Durand said there still isn’t enough to satisfy demand. Buyers from Japan and Eastern Canada are always looking for buckwheat, he added. Durand doubts there will be a buckwheat boom in Manitoba this year, even at a significant price premium to canola, because the crop still has an image problem. Many producers associate the crop with poor yields and low frost toler-

ance, but he said those perceptions don’t represent reality because new buckwheat varieties offer higher yield potential and are less likely to shatter following a frost. “We have newer varieties that stand up a lot better, they yield better, they respond to fertilizer a lot better than the old varieties,” said Durand, who is promoting two of them, Koma and Horizon, to Manitoba producers who regularly grow buckwheat and those who might try it in 2012. Randy Duthie of Lauder, Man., plans to grow one of the newer varieties this year. He typically seeds 160 to

300 acres of buckwheat. The promise of higher bushel weights and a more robust crop canopy convinced him to try Koma. “It’s a good price. That’s all it really boils down to.” But he doesn’t expect many producers to switch because they have more control over canola. “You can manage canola more. If it needs bugs sprayed out of it, you can go do it,” he said. “(With buckwheat,) once the growing season starts you are just winging it.” Duthie said his buckwheat yielded anywhere from five to 50 bu. per acre. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

TRADE | ORGANIC LABEL

Organic deal for Europe, U.S. BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — A deal to allow organic food that is certified in Europe or the United States to be sold as organic in both regions is expected to boost transatlantic trade. The mutual recognition agreement by the world’s two largest organic producers will take effect in June and is designed to increase market access for organic farmers and exporters in both regions by reducing costs and bureaucracy. “We expect there will be a growth in trade as a result of this agreement,” said U.S. deputy agriculture secretary Kathleen Merrigan. “We think this is extremely positive for the organic marketplace, for consumers and farmers alike.”

Under the agreement, food that receives organic certification in one region can automatically be labelled and sold as organic in the other. The agreement covers all agricultural products apart from fish and seafood, but excludes goods that use antibiotics during production. “We tried to prove that we will not block the negotiations for this big agreement only because of specific things,” said EU agriculture commissioner Dacian Ciolos. The global market for organic products was valued at $59 billion in 2010 by Organic Monitor, which said annual sales growth remained healthy, despite a slowdown in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

Nitrogen Miser At a cost of pennies per pound, AGROTAIN® nitrogen stabilizer is both cost- and yield-effective By Shawn Colborn Shawn Colborn

From target-speciﬁc herbicides to hybrids with bioengineered traits to yield mapping, corn production has become more high-tech than ever. But sometimes, the best tool a grower can use is an old-fashioned pencil. Every producer knows it’s getting more expensive just to get a crop in the ground. Most growers are willing to spend money to make money — but every crop input must show a positive return on investment. Some inputs, such as nitrogen, are essential to making a crop and therefore, nonnegotiable. Others, such as AGROTAIN® DRY nitrogen stabilizer, are optional. That’s when it’s time to put the pencil to paper to determine if these inputs not only pay for themselves, but actually increase yields and proﬁts.

AGROTAIN® DRY stabilizer added to urea or liquid nitrogen, at a cost of just pennies per pound of N, prevents nitrogen loss into the air, known as volatility, that can reach as high as 30 percent. Making a rescue treatment is expensive, but if lost nitrogen is not replaced, yields could suffer. In either case, growers lose money. By contrast, the average cost for AGROTAIN® DRY stabilizer on urea is around 7-8 cents per pound of applied nitrogen. But even at such a low cost, is AGROTAIN® DRY stabilizer worth the investment? According to research, the average ROI (return on investment)I over the past several years has been at least $3 returned to $1 invested. Plus, because it’s mixed and applied

directly with nitrogen, there are no added costs for equipment or extra passes over the ﬁeld. Improving nitrogen efﬁciency, like most other things in farming, comes at a cost. But this cost pays for itself through reduced loss and improved yields. AGROTAIN® DRY stabilizer is not just cost-effective.

FARM INPUTS | COME AND GET IT

Free fertilizer for the taking Gypsum piles | The greyish white substance is a natural source of sulfur, can be mixed with manure to reduce smell and nitrogen leaching, and helps reduce sodium in the soil BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers now have a fertilizer option that’s free for the taking. An estimated 100,000 tonnes of gypsum, which was used to make drywall for 25 years, sits at the site of the old Domtar drywall plant in Saskatoon. Gypsum is a natural fertilizer made up of calcium sulfate dihydrate, and gypsum drywall is 90 percent gypsum and 10 percent paper facing and backing. Commercial real estate developer Jeff Howsam bought the 29 acre site in Saskatoon’s north end in 1998. With the deal he inherited seven acres of the whitish-grey substance that looked like lumpy dried porridge. Piles of gypsum had grown steadily during 25 years of drywall production. Drywall that had been over or undercooked or had various manufacturing defects was piled north of the factory. Howsam recognized the benefits of recycling the product. “I didn’t want the gypsum to go into a landfill and be unused,” he said. “I would like to develop the land and I would like someone to be able to benefit from natural fertilizer.… Nobody is after me to get it out of there. It’s a self-inflicted desire, I guess you might say, to get it rolling.” Howsam said he would ideally like people to take large quantities of gypsum to minimize his processing and loading costs. “If the product is sold in small quantities, then I’m looking at something in the neighbourhood of $25 a ton and on a downward basis to zero if a person takes 4,000 tons or more,” he said. “There’d be a motivation for users to use larger quantities of it, or for two or three farmers to get together, or a large Hutterite colony, or whatever the case might be.” Howsam uses a tractor and breaking disk to work the pile, which is then pushed into a larger pile for loading directly or run through a trammel screener to remove larger objects and debris. “If we go through this screening process and load, then we need something for it. If someone comes in and loads significant quantities of it, then by all means, take it away,” he said. A loader and a three yard bucket and track hoe on site make loading quick work. John Cote agreed to take 4,000 tons this past year. His vegetable operation is near Saskatoon, and he has so far used 900 tons for his farm’s composting program. Cote was impressed with how clean the product was and happy with the results. “It took the smell right out of the compost and hopefully it will prevent chemical leaching of nitrogen that would occur naturally,” he said. He sees spinoff benefits for dairy and other intensive livestock operations if the product is mixed straight into manure. “Mixing it with compost is perfect,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

“As their manure composts, they just go to the field and spread everything. Now it’s this beautifully composted kind of mixture.” Jeff Schema, a soil scientist at the University of Saskatchewan, tested Howsam’s gypsum during the 1990s to see if there was a potential use as a source of sulfur. Schoenau and colleagues experimented in controlled environment growth chambers and did field trials

in sulfur deficient grey soil. The tests produced encouraging results. “We actually found it to be a good source of sulfur for canola production,” he said. Schoenau said gypsum can also be used to reclaim sodic soil. For example, if there is good drainage, gypsum can be applied to soil that is saturated with sodium from a brine spill during oil drilling and the calcium will leach away the sodium.

An ammonium sulfate pearl application is likely a more common fertilizer choice in Western Canada than gypsum, but Schoenau sees benefits, provided the producer has the equipment to spread it. “All fertilizer nutrients are getting rather expensive these days and in my opinion, the ability to take what would otherwise be a waste material and actually recycle it and use the nutrients in it is beneficial for everyone.”

PLASTER MAKES PERFECT Benjamin Franklin introduced gypsum to North America in the 1700s. Franklin convinced doubting neighbours that gypsum, which was then called plaster of Paris, worked as a fertilizer. He sowed grain as usual, but close by the path where the farmers would walk, he traced letters with his finger, added plaster and planted seeds. The seeds sprang up after a week or two and as the farmers walked by, they were surprised to see, in brighter green than the rest of the field, large letters saying, “This has been plastered.”

Wheat study weighs yield hike against higher risk of lodging Growth regulators | Trials will examine benefits of shorter stem or stronger straw BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Peter Johnson wants to see bigger returns for Ontario wheat producers and he’s looking to Europe for the answer, including the use of growth regulators. Johnson, a cereals specialist with the province’s agriculture ministry, worked on trials that linked a “European way of producing” — higher

nitrogen rates and fungicides — with increased yields. The trials involved mainly soft red winter wheat. In a joint project comprising the agriculture ministry, Grain Farmers of Ontario and the University of Guelph, researchers increased nitrogen applications up to 150 pounds per acre in small plot and field scale trials over a three-year period ending in 2010. Johnson said the results were posiaccess=subscriber section=news,crops,none

tive, with yields up by as much as 14 and 16 percent. “That is quite easily putting at least another $20 an acre into a grower’s pocket and oftentimes as much as $50 an acre into a grower’s pocket,” he said. They are intriguing numbers for Ontario growers who have watched corn displace wheat acres. “We’re kind of, and have been for sometime now, in a bit of a quandary here in Ontario in that if we can’t significantly increase cereal yields in this province, we’re going to see a lot less cereal acres,” said Johnson. However, higher input levels also increase the risk of lodging, which is why Johnson is examining the use of growth regulators, specifically Cycocel (active ingredient chlormequat chloride). “We’re just kind of getting our feet wet trying to sort out where we could go with growth regulators and where that might fit in our production strategy,” he said. Another two years of trials will be conducted after the first round in 2011. He said identifying when lodging will be problematic remains an issue. Previous tests that didn’t include growth regulators produced surprising results. “It wasn’t the disaster we expected ... but we still think that if we’re going to continue to push down this road, that we need to have that tool in the toolbox,” he said. The goal is not necessarily to shorten the plant because growth regulators may only result in reductions of five to 10 centimetres. Instead, researchers are hoping to stiffen the straw. Applications will ideally be made at growth stage 30-31, when the growing point is just emerging from the soil. He said the practice could have merit for prairie producers, but not in years when yields are limited by a lack of moisture. “On the years where you get moisture, I think that some of this information we’re talking about probably has some potential to be utilized in Western Canada,” said Johnson. “But it won’t be every year, that’s for sure.” The catch is the cost. Cloromoquatte chloride is off patent but has been used almost exclusively by the greenhouse industry, which makes Cycocel much more expensive than in Europe, where it can cost as little as $5 per acre. However, Johnson said there is interest in developing a generic product for Ontario. “Then it won’t be $40 an acre,” he said. “I’ve been fairly adamant with those companies that I’ve talked to that if it ends up being double digits, that growers just won’t use it.” Another product, Ethryl, is cheaper and could be applied in Ontario, but it faces increased restrictions. Cycocel isn’t new and the use of growth regulators on wheat was looked at in the late 1980s. However, Johnson said it isn’t commonly used. That could change as wheat prices rise and improved genetics increase yield potentials.

Ever wonder what kinds of pasture and grasslands are in Albania or Australia, New Caledonia or New Zealand? A new website initiated by the Grassland and Pasture Crops Group of the United Nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Food and Agricultural Organization provides a list of basic pasture and grassland information for 100 countries around the world, including Canada. Each site gives basic information about the country: population, topography, climate, marketing systems and soil types. Each countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site also gives extensive details of the type of livestock produced and grass and pasture production. Retired Agriculture Canada forage and beef specialist Duane McCartney developed the Canadian site. McCartney said the site is designed to be a teaching site for university and high school students, trade commissions and producers. It was during a bus tour on a grasslands congress in Brazil that McCartney met the chief agronomist for the FAO, who organized grassland projects around the world. The two remained friends and McCartney was asked to put together information on grasslands in Canada for the FAO project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had lot of this stuff already done from other projects. It was a matter of pulling that stuff together and cutting and pasting. A guy starting from scratch would have had a big job,â&#x20AC;? said McCartney of Lacombe, Alta. It took 14 people to put together information on grasslands in the United States, said McCartney.

Manitoba potato processors look south for spuds Small harvest | Manitoba’s 2011 harvest was down 8.5 percent from the previous year BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A smaller potato crop in Manitoba last year may force processors to import from outside the province or move processing to other parts of North America. Garry Sloik, executive director of the Keystone Vegetable Producers Association, said there is no immediate risk of running out of potatoes, but the Simplot plant in Portage la Prairie and the McCain Foods plant in Carberry will need to bring in potatoes from Idaho and Washington state if they want to make french fries this summer. “We will not run out of potatoes until June sometime,” said Sloik. “It’s just a matter of whether they (the processors) want to run the plant directly from outside potatoes later on or whether they want to slowly add some (potatoes) throughout the year.” The Manitoba plants are short of spuds because production in the province was 17.5 million hundredweight last year, down 8.5 percent from the 19 million cwt. produced in 2010. Potato acreage was 73,000 last year, up from 70,000 acres in 2010. However, yields were 250 cwt. per acre in 2011 compared to 280 per cwt. in 2010. Sloik said a combination of factors caused yields to drop, including an extremely hot and dry summer, a wet spring that pushed back seeding dates, flooding along the Assiniboine River that restricted access to irrigation water and a frost that hit the province Sept. 16-17. “At the tail end of September is when Russet Burbanks are bulking quite heavily,” he said. “So if you take two weeks off (the growing season), that also kept our yields down.” The Simplot and McCain processing plants can’t buy extra potatoes in the province because they contract all of the Russet Burbank spuds in Manitoba. In other regions, plants are able to buy extra potatoes because Russet Burbanks are also grown for the table market. In Manitoba, red potatoes are grown for table consumption. Sloik said the Manitoba processors might choose to import potatoes from Idaho and Washington state later this year because of transport costs. Trucking potatoes in the winter is more expensive because they are moved in closed, heated and insulated trailers. In the summer they can be trucked in open trailers. Simplot plant manager Chris Tompkins told Portage Online, a news website, that the shortage is already affecting plant operations. For instance, shutdowns for maintenance have been extended by a few days. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

A Simplot spokesperson told the Winnipeg Free Press the company is making plans to scale back production at its Portage plant and shift the work to plants in the American Northwest.

FORAGE | GRAZING ANIMALS

Fescue strain poses danger to pregnant stock Contains fungus | It can cause difficult births in mares and affect milk production BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — A strain of tall fescue known as Kentucky 31 has proven to be a hazardous forage grass for brood mares. Pregnant mares that have grazed on this tall fescue grass, especially in their last months of gestation, have longer pregnancies, difficult births, still births, poor milk let-down, thickened placenta, difficulty breeding again after foaling and larger foals with a level of dismaturity, which means immature foals despite fullterm pregnancies. The problem lies in a microscopic endophyte fungus, Neotyphodium coenophialum, which lives symbiotically within the host grass. The endophyte helps the plant handle stress, making it more vigorous. It is able to handle grazing pressure well, controls soil erosion when grown on hillsides and can tolerate drought conditions. However, the endophyte also produces a toxic alkaloid that can cause toxicosis and has the ability to cause serious disorders in pregnant horses and cows. Tall fescue is a cool season, perennial grass with broad leaves and prominent veins. It becomes bunchy when allowed to get too tall. When mowed for haying, fescue leaves will roll into tight cylinders during the curing period, making them hard to identify. “Tall fescue (was imported) from Europe,” said Bob Coleman, a horse extension specialist with the University of Kentucky. “The strain that causes the problem is called Kentucky 31 because it was found in Kentucky in 1931.” The grass was seen growing on a steep hillside, which are hardy conditions for a plant. Scientists believe that it now covers 35 million acres. It is common in the southeastern United States and parts of the Midwest and can grow in Oregon. Some varieties of fescue grow in Canada but not likely Kentucky 31. Coleman said it’s grown from seed production as a turf type in some Peace River areas. Tall fescue is found across the eastern half of the U.S. and in the Pacific Northwest. Estimates are that more than 90 percent of tall fescue pastures in the U.S. are infected with the fungus. Tall fescue toxicosis causes problems in brood mares during their last third gestation. Coleman said the alkaloids produced by the endophyte fungus act on hormonal production, which affects progesterone, the key to parturition. “In a lot of cases, you’ll find that the foals that are born are carried longer,” he said. “Twenty plus days is not uncommon. They tend to have a level of dismaturity, which seems strange, as they have additional gestational age. Because of the impact on the hormonal balance, it’s not uncommon to start parturition, but without the hormonal cascade needed (for birth and milk production) from the mare’s perspective. So we see a lot of difficult births (distotia) and they can have a big foal. With distotia, there access=subscriber section=news,none,none

can be a significant loss of mares and foals.” Tall fescue toxicosis also affects cows and can cause lameness and a chronic, unhealthy condition in summer. Cows can also suffer from fescue foot and fat necrosis. “They get fescue foot,” Coleman said. “It affects the blood flow. In pregnant beef cattle, it seems to be more of an impact on early gestation in cows rather than late gestation in horses.” Fat necrosis is the development of hard fat deposits in the abdomen,

which can interfere with digestion and parturition. While fescue foot and fat necrosis are thought to be relatively rare, fescue toxicosis is known across the southeastern U.S. and the Midwest. It is identified with rough hair coats, heat stress, suppressed appetite, poor growth and reduced calving rates. Infected tall fescue can enter a horse’s diet from many sources. In addition to pasture containing fescue, the grass may be present in hay or bedding.

In regions where it is established, it comes back year after year as a stubborn perennial and farmers end up with a large natural seed bank. The challenge with tall fescue is that there are both healthy and infected stands of the grass, but the two can’t be identified with the naked eye. “That is typically why people just want to get rid of it,” said Coleman. “Horse people don’t want fescue, period. They don’t want to be bothered with it.” Mares are safe from the toxicity if farmers are not growing the K31 variety of tall fescue, have never planted it and don’t have seeds for it. As well, the spread of the infected grass is minimal in field studies where pastures are divided by a fence, with infected plants on one side and healthy plants on the other. However, Coleman said infected tall fescue is more vigorous and will

likely overtake the pasture if gets into an otherwise healthy field. Infected tall fescue can also affect non-pregnant horses. Yearlings grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue pastures have been shown to have reduced rates of growth compared to yearlings on alternative pastures. Non-breeding mares and pleasure horses may tolerate endophyteinfected tall fescue pastures to some degree, but performance horses may be affected. Studies found that horses ridden over rolling hills at a brisk trot for 30 minutes a day took longer to recover respiratory rates and skin temperature if they were grazing on infected fescue pasture. Coleman advises brood mare owners not to take any chances and to get rid of tall fescue. “If you have some hillsides hard to keep grass on, fescue will grow there. But don’t grow it where horses graze.” BRAZIL | WORKING CONDITIONS

While this mare and its foals are fine, pregnant mares that graze on a strain of tall fescue known as Kentucky 31 can experience pregnancy problems. | FILE PHOTO

Avoiding this problem means preventing brood mares and pregnant cows from eating any infected fescue in the first place. This is particularly important for brood mares during the last 60 to 90 days of gestation. Remove them from pasture that may contain the grass, avoid feeding hay that may contain infected tall fescue and avoid bedding containing pasture clippings from a tall fescue source. Cured hay is just as toxic as live grass. “The best method of removal is to spray it with a herbicide,” said Coleman. “There would need to be a minimum of two applications.” He said some farmers will turn the pasture over to crop production. It’s not uncommon for corn to be grown and the land maintained through tillage. However, one of the problems is that the endophyte is spread by the seed of grasses, so it gets into the soil.

CUIABA, Brazil, (Reuters) — Nivaldo Inacio da Silva has a word to describe what it’s like to wake up at 6 a.m., strap on a hardhat and endure suffocating heat on the construction site of one of Brazil’s new World Cup soccer stadiums: “Freedom.” Da Silva is one of 25 men at the site who, in their previous jobs, worked in conditions that were classified as slave labour by the Brazilian government. They are now helping to build the stadium in the western city of Cuiaba as part of a program that trains former “slaves” in skills like carpentry and helps insert them into the regular workforce. Like several of the men, Da Silva said he was lured into a job as a farm hand, and then forced to pick cotton seven days a week in return for pay he never received. He had to forage or hunt for food. He said he was unable to escape because of the farm’s isolation, and left only after a co-worker managed to flee and alert authorities. Now he and the other workers say they are proud to be front and centre in Brazil’s preparations to host the 2014 World Cup. “I’m happy. I have the freedom to do what I want now,” said Da Silva, 44, who lives with the other workers in temporary on-site housing provided by the company. “Before, we had to sleep in the jungle. Now, we have a good work schedule, good food. There is nothing to complain about because everything got better in our lives.” Brazil imported more African slaves than any other country in the Americas, mainly to cut sugar cane. While slavery was formally abolished in 1888, there are still pockets of Brazil, especially on farms and in areas where the Amazon jungle is being razed, where working conditions are frighteningly similar to those in the 19th century. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

PRECISION AGRICULTURE | IMPORTANT TOOL

Intensive farming may save world: researcher Best way to feed growing population | Better communication with skeptical public is seen as important STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CALGARY — Is precision farming a lynch pin in the goal of world peace? It may sound like a lofty idea until one considers global unrest created by food shortages. Paul Fixen, director of research at the International Plant Nutrition Institute, said precision farming techniques can intensify food production, which will be needed as the world population grows. However, he also told the Precision

Ag 2.0 conference in Calgary that communicating the value of new intensive farming techniques to the public can be challenging. “Most people get the idea that we have to produce more food,” he said in an interview. “They get that part, but I’m not sure they understand the connection between that and the need to produce higher yields on the lands that we do farm.” Precision farming can allow producers to produce more on the same land and with finite resources, Fixen said.

PAUL FIXEN INTERNATIONAL PLANT NUTRITION INSTITUTE

However, the public doesn’t necessarily embrace the idea of more intensive farming because its benefits

NO BIG SURPRISE

haven’t been well communicated. Fixen groups agricultural challenges into three main areas: • human nutrition, including food quality, quantity and accessibility • carbon, relating to climate change, energy use and bioenergy • land, water use, soil quality and waste disposal He sees precision agriculture as a tool for sustainable intensification because it promotes efficient use of inputs along with higher yields. He quoted a study indicating that per capita income, and not population, access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

was the primary predictor of crop demand. Using that premise, crop demand will increase by 110 percent when comparing 2050 to 2005. That demand won’t be met without agricultural intensification, he said. “It is our only hope for the future.” Fixen is a proponent of a concept called 4R nutrient stewardship, which says crop nutrients must be applied to the right source at the right rate at the right time and in the right place. He said it is vital agronomically, economically and environmentally because intensification is more than yield increases. It also involves attention to nutrient resources, their efficient use and their effects on the environment. “I think we have a challenge before us to do a better job of communicating that when we talk about intensification,” he said. “It’s not just higher yields but it involves a system that has higher nutrient use efficiency, water use efficiency, plant use efficiency and all of that. It’s all part of the intensification package.” As the public takes a greater interest in food production, farm managers will need to better measure their inputs so they can defend their use to a more curious public, Fixen said. Precision agriculture allows that measurement.

CALGARY — Public concern about phosphorus loading in lakes illustrates the need for farmers to keep precise records, says a crop nutrient expert. Paul Fixen, director of research for the International Plant Nutrition Institute, used phosphorus as an example of how data accumulated through precision farming techniques can help producers show they are using inputs responsibly. He showed those at the Precision Ag 2.0 conference data indicating soil phosphorus levels are fairly stable in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana and North and South Dakota. Farmers are relatively successful at balancing phosphorus application against phosphorus extracted by crops and they are using variable rate fertilizer technology to help them do it. “Phosphorus efficiency over the long term looks pretty darn good. If we can replace what we can remove, that would tell us we’re not losing much phosphorus from the system.” However, he encouraged producers to keep phosphorus application and plant use records of their own farms, and then aggregate their data to make a more accurate and convincing case about responsible fertilizer use. Phosphorus loading is in the Canadian public eye because of algal blooms in Lake Winnipeg that are sometimes attributed to fertilizer runoff. “That’s all the public remembers,” said one audience member. “They don’t remember that we’re only putting on enough fertilizer to maintain yields.” access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

TECHNOLOGY | PRECISION FARMING

Precision equipment improves quality, accuracy and profits Technology vital to today’s farms | GPS field mapping and variable rate fertilizer capabilities give farmers a competitive edge

CALGARY — There’s a lot of theory surrounding precision agriculture but the practice is about results. Stewart Maschmeyer, Jason Kehler and Josh Fankhauser use some of the technology on their farms and have found it has delivered on some of its promise. Speaking at the Feb. 22 Precision Ag 2.0 conference, Jason Kehler of Carman, Man., said variable rate fertilizer (VRF) operations have improved his bottom line at a cost of $6 to $7 per acre. “It’s really been improving our yields and as far as cost goes, yes, it’s an investment. But what in farming isn’t? We spend a lot of money on a lot of other things that probably don’t pay back as well.” Kehler grows potatoes, cereals and oilseeds on his Red River Valley area farm. He saw lots of production variability in his light soil and figured variable rate application had potential. Five years ago, he started using the technology on his potatoes, where he still sees the greatest benefit in terms of quality product for the processing market. In years past, quantity was the goal for both potato growers and processors but that has changed. So Kehler changed too. “It’s gotten to where quality has surpassed quantity (for processors’ needs.) Obviously, a yield goal is always important but it’s gotten to where, if we don’t have a consistent product for them to work with, it’s pretty hard to empty the sheds.” He began VRF with one irrigation circle of potatoes. The improvements in potato quality were immediate. “As our experience grew with the potatoes, I moved the VR program into our other crops,” said Kehler. The ability to vary nitrogen applications in particular has improved profitability. He got a yield monitor only last year and has been impressed with the data. “It’s really amazing to see how our yield maps correlate with these soil zones done with satellite imagery. It’s almost uncanny.” Kehler said several years of VRF use are evening out the fertilizer needs in his fields, but that doesn’t mean he uses less product. “As far as cost savings … I wouldn’t say my goal would ever be to save money on fertilizer…. Generally you’re going to spend just as much or more money on fertilizer. You’re just going to put it where it needs to be.” Fankhauser farms 7,000 acres, along with his father and uncles, near Claresholm, Alta. He began his precision farming experience with light bar guidance and autosteer. Now the farm uses precision agriculture technology widely and also conducts extensive field-scale plot trials. Those trials would be difficult without RTF technology and other precision instruments. “ I u s e G P S f o r e v e r y t h i n g ,” Fankhauser told the group. “It’s a record keeping tool more than a steering tool. Steering is nice. Record keeping is better.” Though he did not discuss changes to the bottom line as a result of precision ag use, he did say it allows the farm to easily test changes to inputs access=subscriber section=news,news,none

before implementing them in a bigger way. “I don’t have to take the chemical rep’s word. They’re not trying to mislead you but they have to make broad recommendations about this chemical,” he said, and those might not suit his farm. Fankhauser also praised yield monitors as a tool. “Yield mapping is the most important thing. If you have nothing else, get yield mapping,” he said. That technology is vital to his field fertilizer trials, which this year involved 28 plots, each 120 feet wide by one-

quarter mile long. He said the trials were easily run because of pre-planning and using precision farming tools and software available for variable rate applications and record keeping. Maschmeyer said he first heard the term “precision agriculture” in the early 1990s and in one respect things haven’t changed for him. “As I left that seminar, I had no idea of knowing that the challenge before me that day would be same over 20 years (later) — what do I do with this information?” Maschmeyer farms about 5,000 acres near Bruderheim, Alta., and

had collected years of yield data from his farm. It showed major production variability in his fields. Last year he used variable rate fertilizer technology at seeding, starting with 1,000 acres. He used previous years of satellite imagery coupled with aerial photos, his own knowledge about his land and assistance from Agri-Trend personnel to map out zones. He also used Veris equipment to map the electrical conductivity of his land, which gave an accurate picture of soil type in those zones. He used that information to apply variable rates of fertilizer according

to specific field needs. Maschmeyer has set a goal of 60 bushels per acre of canola, except in one highly productive field where his goal is 80. Variable rate fertilizer application will be used to push the yield envelope, he said. The central Alberta farmer praised GPS and autosteer technology, which has eliminated seeding overlap and the lodging that tended to result in his cereal crops. Last year he also invested in RTK technology to better pinpoint field position to allow inter-row seeding of canola on cereal stubble.

big success in grocery stores. Meghan Dear was looking for ways to highlight local food in grocery stores. It began with a single store in Sherwood Park, Alta., eight months ago but by the beginning of January it had expanded to a 10-store pilot project with funding assistance from Alberta Agriculture. Tags identifying local products are placed near price tags on local items in grocery stores. More than 800 items from 100 local companies are registered with Dear’s Localize Your Food program. “There is a range of local food products in the province. “Grocery stores were also looking for solutions,” Dear said. Al Paquette, manager of the Sobeys store in Camrose, said customers have reacted positively to the program. “There has been a really good response.” Sobeys’ head office gives Paquette a list of approved products and Paquette decides which would sell in the Camrose store. Many of the items were already being sold in the store, but weren’t labelled as local.

The response has been unbelievable,” said Paquette of the frozen food. He said local food promotion has been needed for some time, but it’s not always easy to organize or promote. “It’s kind of neat. Sometimes you don’t really know where the food comes from. It’s amazing what products are in our own area.” Dear rates how local a product is through a formula of production location, ownership and ingredient origin. Baba Jenny’s products were rated a local nine out of 10. They received 4.5 out of 4.5 for place of production, a 3.5 out of 3.5 for place of ownership and a one out of two for source of ingredients because not all the ingredients were local.

Tega Tea received an eight out of 10 local rating. While its place of production and ow nership are in Abbotsford, B.C., it gets zero out of two for source of ingredients from South Africa. A point was added back because the tea is certified organic and has been labelled fair trade. Dear said she wants to create a Super Local label for extremely local produce. Garry Pulyk of Baba Jenny’s Ukrainian Food said the local food project has been a benefit to his business, but she wants to know the next step after the pilot project ends at the end of February. Pulyk has also been amazed how many food products are produced in Alberta. “Ever since we got involved, now I start to look on the website for produce and products I want to support,” he said. Dear believes consumers, producers and grocery stores want to have a way to amalgamate and identify local products. Her next step is moving beyond the pilot project and expanding beyond the initial 10 stores.

Shelf tags tell consumers that these bean sprouts have earned an eight out of 10 “local” rating based on the criteria.

PGDC | ORANGE BLOSSOM WHEAT MIDGE

Midge’s egg-laying habits may boost resistance Findings still tentative | New resistance is possible if it’s proven that midge females prefer some varieties over others BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BANFF, Alta. — Entomologists in Western Canada are piecing together data that seems to suggest the orange blossom wheat midge is particular about where it lays its eggs. Ron DePauw, an Agriculture Canada wheat breeder based in Swift Current, Sask., says there is mounting evidence to suggest that the female midge may be less inclined to lay eggs on some wheat varieties and more inclined to lay eggs on others. Entomologists believe that the difference might be related to the presence of tiny hairs that occur naturally on the glumes of certain wheat varieties. Varieties with more glume hairs are believed to provide a less hospitable habitat for egg-laying females. Scientific understanding of the relationship is still limited but entomologists at Agriculture Canada’s Cereal Research Centre are conducting studies and assessing the midge’s propensity to lay eggs on different cultivars. If more data supports what scientists already suspect, then plant breeders could have another avenue through which to pursue new wheat varieties with enhanced midge resistance. The concept, known among plant access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

scientists as oviposition deterrence, was a topic of discussion among wheat experts at this week’s Prairie Grain Development Committee meetings in Banff. For the first time, an experimental wheat line touting the benefits of oviposition deterrence was assessed by wheat experts and considered for registration support. The experimental wheat line, known as BW455, was eventually withdrawn as a candidate for commercial registration due to other factors but the concept of oviposition deterrence was discussed and scientific data supporting the notion was formally accepted into the records of the PGDC’s wheat assessment committee. Additional data will continue to be collected by entomology teams led by Margaret Smith and Ian Wise, both based in Winnipeg. According to DePauw, oviposition deterrence may offer producers additional protection from wheat midge damage, beyond what is already available through midge tolerant wheat varieties. Existing midge tolerant varieties contain a specific gene known as Sm1. That gene contains naturally occurring compounds that cause the midge larvae to stop feeding and eventually starve.

Wheat varieties with more glume hairs are believed to provide a less hospitable habitat for egg-laying wheat midge females. | FILE PHOTO “The effect of oviposition deterrence is not the same as the antibiosis effect that the Sm1 gene provides,” said DePauw. “They (entomologists) don’t have it completely figured out yet but they think there are tiny hairs on the glumes that don’t make such a hospitable environment for the females to start laying their eggs. “If the hairs are present, the eggs don’t get placed near the edge of the glume, so when the larvae hatch, they have a longer distance to travel to get to the developing wheat kernels.

What you have are these tiny larvae that end up dying before they can get to the developing kernels.” Although no wheat varieties have been registered to date specifically because they offer oviposition deterrence, Depauw said some existing varieties already offer some degree of protection. Superb and Waskada are among the varieties that are assumed to offer a relatively high degree of deterrence. “It’s already in some of the materials,” DePauw said. “We’re finding out as we’re doing our trialing that some varieties tend to do better in certain environments than others … and that could be due to oviposition deterrence.” Depauw said work is also continuing in Swift Current on the development of solid stem CWRS varieties that also contain the Sm1 gene. If plant breeders are successful in stacking the solid stem and Sm1 genes into a single wheat variety, then CWRS producers would simultane-

ously be protected from the wheat midge and the wheat stem sawfly. “The reason we’re doing that is because the midge seems to be moving across more and more of the Prairies,” DePauw said. “It used to be in the northeastern part of Saskatchewan and the northwestern part of Manitoba but now we’re finding downgrading pockets right across the Prairies and in the brown and dark brown soil zones, you’ve got the opportunity for both pests (to affect crops) at the same time.” Agriculture Canada scientists have been working on the stacked trait Sm1 lines for about three years, DePauw said. It could be another 10 before the first dual resistant CWRS varieties are available to growers. Plant breeders who are accustomed to working on long time horizons are aware of the need for longterm funding commitments, DePauw added. “You have to have that long-term vision and you can’t drop the ball,” he said. “That’s why funding through organizations like the Western Grains Research Foundation is so important.” FOR MORE FROM THE PRAIRIE GRAIN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, SEE PAGES 50, 51, 54.

BARLEY | MALTSTERS

Malting industry faces big challenges Malting barley acres declining | Government changes play havoc with ability to access grain CALGARY BUREAU

Making the Canadian Wheat Board voluntary may not be enough to turn around the malting barley industry, says the head of the Malting Industry Association of Canada. “The removal of the CWB alone will not solve all of the challenges this industry faces moving forward,” Phil de Kemp said at the recent Western Barley Growers Association convention in Calgary. Canada’s four malting companies buy 1.1 million tonnes of malt barley annually. About half comes from Alberta and two-thirds of all the malt produced is exported to about 20 countries. “We have always maintained that malting barley is a specialty crop and we have been concerned for a number of years, as you have, about the significantly declining acres,” he said. “The removal of the CWB monopoly will at least create the environment to make them reconsider this trend over the next decade, but it is important to understand there are considerable challenges and hurdles ahead that need to be addressed.” Beer consumption has increased everywhere but North America since the mid 1990s. At the same time, malt companies have not invested in expansions or improvements. There are many reasons why this happened. The malting industry wants assurances it can get enough grain to fulfill its customers’ requirements, but previous changes that the federal government made to the wheat board’s operations created problems. When the Conservative government permitted an open continental market for barley in 1993, the industry scrambled for grain until a court injunction closed the border again. “In those 41 days, an awful lot of barley went south of the border at a premium to feed and a discount to malting barley,” de Kemp said. “It ended up in our competitors’ malt plants and in one case we lost a tender on 20,000 tonnes of malt to Japan.” L at e r, w h e n t h e g ov e r n m e nt changed legislation to create a farmer elected board of directors, the new law provided no arbitration mechanism to address commercial concerns. Maltsters had previously been able to meet with board commissioners to make their case when they needed more supply. De Kemp said the industry appreciated the board’s right to do business, but changing marketing philosophies sometimes left maltsters shorthanded. “We felt at times it was detrimental to traditional supplier relationships,” he said. The policies that were used to set initial prices could not send signals to farmers that more malt was needed. As a result, the barley often ended up as feed because the price was better. The Cash Plus program helped send price signals for growers and maltsters. De Kemp said maltsters will be able

to better compete for farmers’ business under the new regime. Farmers can decide if they want to sell directly to maltsters or work with the new board. Producers who deliver directly to the plants will be paid on the day of shipment and there will be no CWB administration costs or minimum initial payments. However, some pricing arrangements and risk management programs may change. De Kemp said removing the wheat board’s malting barley monopoly

should also allow for price transparency and predictability. However, better prices for other commodities continue to edge out barley. Seeded acres are down 20 percent in the last 20 years, said Rob McCaig, managing director of the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre. The world produced 15 billion tonnes of malting barley last year. Production is dropping in Canada, the United States and European Union and growing in Argentina, Ukraine, the Middle East and Australia.

As well, canola acres are spreading because of the increasing demand for more trans fat-free oil and biodiesel. It may replace wheat as the number one prairie crop. Barley also fell in tandem with the declines seen in the Canadian cattle and hog population. Less available barley has made malt expensive, which has prompted some foreign brewers to use carbohydrates such as corn and rice. “The accountants have taken over and we will not see them return to barley malt,” McCaig said.

said the decision by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to call for a moratorium on new wind turbines in rural Ontario was unfortunate. “When that position came out we were all disappointed because we know there are many farmers who are supportive and actively engaged in wind project developments,” he said Feb. 23. But rather than a “setback,” Hornung said it was a reminder that wind energy projects can be controversial and community support is vital. He said there can be many reasons for local opposition. “Wherever opposition emerges, it’s going to be solidly rooted in that local community,” he said. “The worst thing the industry could do is just go into a community and assume that since it brings a lot of benefits, it automatically will get a lot of support. The wind energy industry actually has to earn support and as Ontario shows, it is something we must continue to do.” Critics have complained about noise and the destruction of birds as they fly into the blades. The OFA argued that farmers are not being properly compensated and often end up being opposed by neighbours. “When wind developments come to a community, neighbours are pitted against neighbours,” OFA president Mark Wales said in announcing the call for a moratorium on future development. “The issue of industrial wind turbine development is preoccupying the rural agenda.” Hornung said CWEA will meet with OFA “because they seem to have some misunderstanding or misinformation about the cost of wind relative to some of the alternatives.” While wind energy turbines dot rural areas across the countr y including southern Alberta, Ontario has the largest number of them, accounting for one-third of national production. Hornung said there is more public resistance in Ontario, where the windmills often are in more heavily populated areas, than in other provinces. He said the national association is not dismissing the Ontario concerns even if it does not speak for all Ontario farmers. “We will take notice of the stance taken by the OFA but having said that, we have seen a number of local authorities of the OFA coming out and saying, ‘we’re not quite sure that reflects our position,’ and as we have seen in other jurisdictions, there has not been similar reactions from agriculture associations,” he said. “It is incumbent on us that we get a better understanding of OFA issues and work with them on how we can best address them. We strongly believe wind energy can provide a significant benefit to rural communities and to the agricultural sector and the OFA sees that potential as well.”

WORLD MARKETS | CROP PRICES

Argentine farmers say changes have not improved prices Prices below market | Wide price spreads for wheat, corn as lack of open market hits profit margins, restricts crop rotations BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentine farmers say they are still being paid below-market prices for wheat despite a new government export system aimed at increasing competition among millers and exporters. Growers had long urged president Cristina Fernandez to free the wheat

market from a government-imposed quota system that was designed to ensure abundant domestic food supplies but which they said benefited buyers at their expense. Last month, the government scrapped the unpopular quotas and said the total exportable wheat surplus would be cleared for export in a

bid to avert oversupply and low prices for farmers. The true test of the new system will come in the next growing season because a good portion of this year’s wheat had already been shipped when the reform took effect. But for now, farmers say they have yet to see any benefit and there is

widespread uncertainty in the industr y over how it will really work. “So far, the change is in name only,” one farmer told Reuters, asking that he not be identified to avoid problems with the government. “It’s what we call ‘gatopardismo,’ which means changing things to access=subscriber section=news,news,none

make sure they stay the same,” the grower said, pointing to the spread between the $165 per tonne that Argentina’s farmers are being paid for wheat and the market price of $208 per tonne. A wide spread also existed for corn, with farmers offered $150 per tonne versus the market price of $199. Soy, which is exported freely from Argentina, was meanwhile operating at a minimal spread of $305 versus $309, according to information provided by the grower. “The wheat market continues not to function,” said Cristian Amuchstegui, head of the Rosario grains exchange. “We had higher expectations than what has really come to pass,” he said. Farmers say the lack of an open market kills the profit in growing wheat, thus restricting crop rotations needed to conserve soil used to grow soybeans, the country’s biggest export earner. Argentina supplies nearly half the world’s soy oil, which is used for cooking and in the booming international biofuel sector. It is also the third largest exporter of soybeans, a major source of protein for an increasingly hungry planet. Concerned parties from grain traders to sovereign bondholders are watching the new wheat-export scheme — which the government says will soon also apply to corn exports — for signs of how the administration will face the fallout expected this year from the sluggish world economy and Europe’s debt crisis. Fernandez is known for unorthodox, hard-to-predict policies. She won re-election last year promising more generous welfare spending, state intervention in the markets and import substitution. David Hughes, a wheat farmer in Buenos Aires province and former head of the industry association Argentrigo, said no one expects the government to free the wheat market to the point of risking higher domestic bread prices paid by voters already hit by Argentina’s double-digit inflation. “The government will continue to open exports only when it knows it has enough wheat for the domestic market,” Hughes said. The government has said it needs seven million tonnes of wheat for the local market this season. The agriculture ministry has estimated a 2011-12 crop of 13 to 14 million tonnes. The entire exportable surplus is expected to be announced at once starting in 2012-13, rather than gradually. The aim is to induce competition among traders bidding for wheat. “Farmers will not be as hard hit as they were under the previous system, but they will still be subject to export limits and the government’s arbitrary interventions will continue,” Hughes said. “The policy model, aimed at keeping domestic bread prices down by creating oversupply of wheat, has not changed.” Ernesto Ambrosetti, chief economist at the Argentine Rural Society, which represents some of the country’s biggest farms, said the age of state intervention in Argentina is not over.

FRANCE | ELECTION RACE

Beef slaughter methods election issue in France Halal meat | Concerns raised that abattoirs were using the throat-slitting slaughter method PARIS, France (Reuters) — French president Nicolas Sarkozy’s efforts to reconnect with a disgruntled voting public in a high-energy re-election campaign appears to be paying off at the polls. Sarkozy launched his campaign in mid-February seeking to overturn widespread personal dislike of him and gloom over the economy. A survey carried out by pollster LH2 found the number of people who said they liked rather than disliked him was up by eight percentage points from early January to 38 percent, his highest level in a year. The surge appears to be translating into gains with voters. One poll released Feb. 21 found Sarkozy had cut his Socialist challenger Francois Hollande’s lead in voting intentions for the April 22 first round to only one point. It is Sarkozy’s best score since August, although Hollande remains the clear favorite for the May 6 runoff. The straight-talking conservative was popular when he won power in May 2007, but his showy and sometimes brash style soon grated on many people and he has battled with dismal popularity ratings for much of the past four years. Sarkozy kept up a fast campaign pace, visiting a wholesale Paris food market to challenge accusations by far-right leader Marine Le Pen that households around the capital are unwittingly eating halal meat, then racing to the west coast and pledging to try to save an idled steelworks from closure. At the food market, Sarkozy poured cold water on Le Pen’s allegation that abattoirs supplying beef to the Paris area were using the throat-slitting methods required by Muslim buyers on all meat to cut costs. Sarkozy said that 2.5 percent of the 200,000 tonnes of beef consumed each year in the Paris area was halal, figures backed up at a news conference by the meat trade association SNIV. Agriculture minister Bruno Le Maier said a Dec. 28 government decree that will go into effect in July, enforcing more transparency in abattoir methods, should help calm the controversy fanned by Le Pen after a TV documentary questioned the killing methods. Fluctuations in Sarkozy’s popularity do not always affect voter intentions, although a CSA poll gave Sarkozy 27 percent of the vote in the first round to Hollande’s 28 percent compared with 26 to 30 in early February. In the poll, Sarkozy was seen losing in the second round with 44 percent to Hollande’s 56 percent, but the margin was the smallest so far.

It put Le Pen’s score in the first round marginally down at 17 percent and centrist Francois Bayrou down two points at 11 percent. A separate monthly poll had support for Hollande and Sarkozy unchanged in both voting rounds, with Hollande leading the first round at 32 percent against 25, and winning the runoff by 59 percent to 41. The poll had Le Pen unchanged at 16 percent in round one and Bayrou down 1.5 points at 11 percent.

bean and corn farm, his last Iowa stop before heading west to Los Angeles to close out his U.S. visit with a brisk tour of the city’s port, dubbed the U.S. gateway for everything from electronics to clothing from China. Visiting the family farm of Rick and Martha Kimberley, Xi peppered the fifth-generation farmers with questions about crop prices, marketing and finances. “This is away from the sound and the fury of the cities, and the air here is very fresh,” said Xi, whose first visit to the United States was an Iowa farm study tour and home stay in 1985. “This is a very homey environment,” Xi said through an interpreter, displaying a down-to-earth style that sets him apart from most previous Chinese leaders and has won admirers during a key get-acquainted tour of the United States. “He is widely known as practical, hard-working, and down-to-earth. These attributes resonate strongly with all of us here in America,” U.S. commerce secretary John Bryson said of Xi, based on meetings in Washington. Xi surveyed the barren and frozen fields of the Kimberleys’ farm with 70 Chinese and U.S. officials and checked out their combine harvester and seed planter before climbing up into a John Deere tractor trailer for a photo. But as he toured Iowa, a partisan U.S. battle over China policy was playing out, underscoring how domestic politics make it difficult for Washington and Beijing to set smooth relations. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney attacked president Barack Obama’s China policy, saying in a Wall Street Journal editorial that the Democratic president’s meetings with Xi were “empty pomp and ceremony” and that his China policy was going in “precisely the wrong direction.” Obama’s presidential campaign fired back, accusing Romney of wanting to “have it both ways.” It said Romney had made investments in China that were sold for $1.5 million last August in what the campaign suggested was a move driven by politics. The value of U.S.-China farm trade ties was underscored when Chinese soybean buyers shadowing Xi’s visit announced they would buy more than $4 billion in U.S. soybeans this year. Iowa saw its exports to China, mostly farm goods, grow 1,200 percent from 2000-2010, said governor Terry Branstad. “We are the world’s two largest agricultural producers and strong collaborators in agricultural research and education,” said Vilsack. Chinese and U.S. officials said they will sign a five-year strategic cooperation pact that will outline priorities for the two countries to focus on long-term food security as the overarching goal.

FOOD AID | CO-ORDINATION

South Korea Gates foundation urges improvement in food aid deal to boost UN agencies not co-ordinated | The food system is ‘outdated and inefficient,’ says Bill Gates U.S. exports WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — A long-delayed free trade deal between the United States and South Korea will go into effect on March 15 following months of technical-level talks, officials said last week, cheering business groups that have waited years for the day. The pact was signed nearly five years ago but faced tough resistance from some industry and agricultural interests in both countries. It may face still more hurdles in South Korea, where the opposition party has said it will try to repeal it. South Korea’s minister for trade Park Tae-ho said implementation of the deal would help South Korean exporters who have lost sales to Europe because of that continent’s debt crisis that has hurt consumer and business demand. “Coming at a time such as this, the U.S. free trade agreement is a positive opportunity for our exports to the United States, which is the world’s largest developed market, to grow significantly,” he said. U.S. trade representative Ron Kirk, in a statement issued in Washington, said the pact will help support tens of thousands of American jobs in export industries. “Entry into force of this agreement will open up Korea’s $1 trillion economy for America’s workers, businesses, farmers, and ranchers while also strengthening our economic partnership with a key Asia-Pacific ally,” Kirk said. U.S. business groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers, applauded news of the implementation, which follows months of detailed technical talks to ensure each side has made all the legal and regulatory changes required under the agreement. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association said the agreement, which phases out South Korea’s tariffs on U.S. beef over 15 years, “may very well be the most monumental bilateral trade pact our industry has ever witnessed.” Canadian beef and pork representatives have previously called on the Canadian government to step up its trade negotiations with South Korea out of fears that Canadian producers could be shut out of the South Korean market if the U.S. has favoured access. The U.S.-South Korea deal will eliminate Seoul’s duties on almost 80 percent of U.S. industrial products and almost 67 percent of U.S. farm goods on its first day of entry into force. Commitments opening up South Korea’s $580 billion services market also take effect beginning March 15. South Korea’s parliament, currently controlled by the ruling conservatives, approved the deal in November amid rowdy scenes of opposition lawmakers protesting, after it was signed in 2007 by the then-government of left-leaning president Roh Moo-hyun. The opposition argues that subsequent changes to allow U.S. car makers a major inroad into the market and a dispute settlement mechanism will strip South Korea of any ability to defend its interests. access=subscriber section=news,news,none

ROME, Italy (Reuters) — Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has told the United Nations’ hunger-fighting agencies that they are inefficient and urged their leaders to set new targets, redirect resources and use technology to make better progress. The Microsoft founder’s $34 billion foundation, one of the world’s most generous, said the three Rome-based agencies should set a goal for raising farm productivity and introduce a system of scoring states publicly for their efforts to reduce poverty. “The world’s agriculture and food system is now outdated and inefficient,” Gates told a conference at the

International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). “Countries, food agencies and donors aren’t working together in a focused and co-ordinated way to provide the help small farmers need, when they need it.” The Food and Agriculture Organization, which has previously faced criticism for weak governance and a lack of transparency, needs to focus more on ensuring individual country programs lead to improvements, Gates said. A scorecard system that rates states in areas such as seed development and farmer education could help, he

added. Gates said he expected the FAO’s new leader, Jose Graziano da Silva, to listen to critics’ views and redirect resources, cut bureaucracy and reduce duplication. Price volatility and the economic slowdown could increase the number of people at risk of hunger in the world. The FAO in 2010 estimated up to 925 million people were at risk. A global food price crisis in 2008 highlighted years of chronic underinvestment in agriculture. Gates urged the IFAD, the FAO and the World Food Programme to take advantage of new technology such as genome science, which has made it

easier to breed plants. He also said data collection by satellite was a good way to free up people for other critical work. “If we do connect breakthrough science to the people who need it most, they will leapfrog generations of innovation they missed,” he said. Gates’ foundation, which is devoted largely to funding health projects in developing countries, launched its agriculture program in 2006. At the Feb. 23 conference, he announced an additional $200 million worth of grants, bringing the foundation’s total commitment to smallholder farmers to more than $2 billion. access=subscriber section=news,news,none

Mosaic taps niche market with specialty fertilizer Contains minerals in capsules | The product is said to boost crop output by 2.2 times TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) — Mosaic Co. plans to aggressively boost international sales of a proprietary fertilizer that infuses plants with minor but crucial nutrients. The move is a key pillar of a five-year plan to differentiate the company in the competitive fertilizer market. The company is aiming to increase sales of its MicroEssentials product by 67 percent to 2.5 million tonnes in the next few years, said chief executive officer Jim Prokopanko. The product can boost crop output by at least 2.2 times by supplying a

blend of zinc, phosphate, sulfur, nitrogen and other nutrients in tiny capsules, he said. MicroEssentials now accounts for just a sliver of company profits but offers richer margins than the other commoditized fertilizers on which Mosaic depends for the bulk of earnings. Mosaic is also considering building an ammonia plant on the U.S. coast along the Gulf of Mexico, according to Prokopanko. The commoditization of the fertilizer industry has forced producers

like Mosaic to find niche products that can be sold at a premium and help establish brand-name recognition. Historically, it has not mattered much from whom farmers bought fertilizers. After all, potash is potash, regardless of the seller. Mosaic is aiming to change that by hooking customers on a product they can buy from only one source. “As farming becomes more intense around the world, we’re seeing micronutrient deficiencies,” Prokopanko said. “MicroEssentials is bet-

ter for the farmer, it’s better for the dealer and it’s better for Mosaic because it’s a differentiating product. No one has a similar product yet.” The push by Prokopanko, who has been CEO since 2007, comes after Cargill Inc. sold its majority stake in Mosaic in 2011, the same year that Mosaic settled a potash supply dispute with Potash Corp. Mosaic recently announced an agreement with the Sierra Club and other environmental groups to expand drilling at an important Florida phosphate mine. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

All three issues had been seen as overhangs on Mosaic’s stock, which has trailed CF Industries and other rivals for months. The company is in the midst of a $5 billion expansion of its potash capacity, which it hopes to boost to 15 million tonnes from 10 million tonnes. The company is also beginning the permitting process for two expansion permits at additional Florida mines it owns, a process that is expected to take six years. Phosphate and potash are the second- and third-most important fertilizers, respectively, for farmers, after nitrogen. Potash prices are trading around $559 per tonne, down from a threeyear high of $773. Phosphate prices are trading near $480 per tonne, down from a threeyear high of $588. Last fall, Mosaic cut production of both fertilizers in an effort to boost prices. So far, prices have edged up slightly. “We think over the next decade, the world is going to need an additional 26 million tonnes of potash, and we think that will come from existing mines,” he said. “The food story remains the key. There are 75 million new mouths to feed each year.” Many large U.S. manufacturers have been talking about how cheap North American shale natural gas will revolutionize production, and Mosaic is no exception. Th e co m pa ny is co nsider ing spending $1 billion to build a nitrogen plant on the U.S Gulf Coast to produce ammonia, a key ingredient in phosphate fertilizer. Mosaic makes 500,000 tonnes per year of ammonia and buys an additional one million tonnes. In-house production of all its ammonia needs would be a boon to annual earnings, which slide $78 million each time ammonia prices increase by $25 per tonne. “We would be entirely self-sufficient in our ammonia production and not be at the whims of the spot market,” Prokopanko said. “It’s going to be a golden age for natural gas. At these low prices, there’s going to be incentive for new industries to develop or come back.” Mosaic is looking outside North America for long-term growth, mirroring similar steps from Norway’s Yara International ASA, the largest fertilizer producer in the world, and CF Industries. Prokopanko sees the biggest potential in India, where the government subsidizes some fertilizer purchases, but not MicroEssentials. “We are working with the government in India to have this qualify for the subsidy,” he said. “So far, it’s having a strong impact. Farmers are finding they can justify paying the price.” Prokopanko said the Latin American and Chinese markets also offer growth potential, but he was less keen on Africa, mostly because Yara already has a developed nitrogen fertilizer network in eastern Africa, and Morocco has one of the world’s largest phosphate fertilizer reserves.

RESEARCH | FEARED REDUCTION

Warning issued on research cuts MPs eye upcoming budget | Opposition says the federal government has no research strategy BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

GATINEAU, Que. — Opposition agriculture critics warned farmers from across Canada last week that a lack of government support for research is hurting the industry’s ability to compete in global markets. New Democrat MP Malcolm Allan and Liberal Frank Valeriote predicted that the next federal budget, expected in March, will make it worse. They were speaking to the annual meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. The Conservative government did not send a representative. “I believe the budget will do much more damage, as do researchers who talk to me,” said Valeriote, who represents the research-heavy riding of Guelph in Ontario. “Because of a lack of support for research and innovation, we’re reverting to being a nation of hewers of wood and haulers of water, exporting raw commodities. We also are still sending our researchers south.” The budget is being billed as a spending and deficit-cutting document with spending reductions expected across government. Allen said the research issue is key, and despite Conservative claims of support, there is no real strategic plan. “Now is not the time to cut off the money to those programs,” he said in an interview. “It will require tough choices, but if we are going to make innovation a key component going forward in agriculture, we need to continue to i nv e s t m o n e y i n re s e a rc h a n d development, especially research that is going to last longer than five years.” He said government is sometimes anything but helpful in offering solutions to industry problems.

Opposition MPs worry cuts in the next federal budget will be bad news for agricultural research. |

FRANK VALERIOTE LIBERAL AGRICULTURE CRITIC

“In government, sometimes we interfere too much and don’t let you do what you do,” he said. But there are areas where industry needs government intervention, including long-term research funding. “Government should do it because that’s a piece where government can intervene and actually do good.” Allen told CFA delegates that private sector investment in research is short-term and oriented to quick commercial product turn around. “That is exactly what I would expect them to do and there is nothing wrong with that.” However, government has the ability and should have the interest in investing in long-term basic research. While the Grain Growers of Canada lobby has used its access to government and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz to argue for a doubling of basic research funding over the next decade, Ritz and his government have shown little interest in returning to an emphasis on less-focused long-term research funding. Valeriote said the real decline in research and development funding began after the Conservatives were elected in 2006, although he acknowledged that the 1995 Liberal anti-deficit budget took a large chunk out of Agriculture Canada research funding, which Grain Growers says has never been fully restored.

France asks Europe to halt GM corn seeding

Argentina, China sign corn deal

China expects first GM corn approval

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentine and Chinese officials have signed a protocol allowing China to buy Argentine corn products after months of negotiations, the South American country’s agricultural minister said. Argentina is the world’s No. 2 corn exporter after the United States, and China is a major food importer. China, already a key market for Argentine soybeans and soyoil, has restrictions on the importation of genetically modified corn strains, which account for about 80 percent of Argentina’s crop.

BEIJING, China (Reuters) — Origin Agritech Ltd. said it expects the Chinese government to approve its genetically modified corn for production in 2013, China’s first GMO strain in commercial production. China gave the phytase corn biosafety approval in November 2009 and at the time scientists had expected large-scale production could happen as early as 2012, but a complicated approval process for use as seed has delayed the expectation. Once approved, the company said the acreage could account for 10 percent of the country’s total corn acreage within 10 years.

PARIS, France (Reuters) — France has asked the European Commission to suspend authorization to plant Monsanto’s genetically modified MON810 corn. The country is trying to keep a ban on GM crops despite losing court rulings. France banned the growing of MON810 corn in 2008, citing environmental risks. It is the only GM crop approved for planting in the European Union. The country’s highest court ruled against the ban in November, following a similar decision by the European Court of Justice last September, leading the government to say it would look at all ways to maintain the freeze on GM planting. The French government’s request to the EU executive was based on “significant risks for the environment” shown in recent scientific studies, the environment ministry said in a statement. EU governments are divided over authorizing GM crop cultivation. The stalemate has frustrated farmers and biotech companies, most of which have scaled back research on such varieties in Europe.

New port for Amazon

- * /9

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazilian port authorities are planning a new grains port in the Amazon region, a terminal designed to become the country’s largest soybean export centre and slash transportation costs for farmers. The proposed 18 million-tonnea-year Port of Outeiro would be built near Belem, the largest city in Brazil’s Amazon region. It is designed to surpass the 16.8 million tonne capacity of the Port of Santos, and the 14.8 million tonne capacity of the Port of Paranagua. A port in the north of the country would allow loading closer to markets in Europe and the Middle East. It would also be closer to the Panama Canal, which is being widened to handle larger ships, cutting travel times to China, Brazil’s largest soybean market. The port could raise environmental concerns by making the creation of soybean farms in the Amazon jungle more economically attractive.

Commodity prices expected to fall NEW YORK, New York (Reuters) — Equipment manufacturer Deere & Company predicted in its recent earnings call that agricultural commodities will lose ground this year. The company estimated that corn prices will fall 17 percent through the 2012 growing season, while cotton prices will drop nearly 15 percent and wheat prices 10 percent. Higher crop yields and an increase in planted acres are behind the predicted decline in prices, Deere said. Those declines are roughly in line with the findings of a Reuters News Agency poll of analysts in January, who said they expected U.S. corn prices to drop 15 percent to their lowest levels in three years.

U.S. land prices continue to climb CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Farmland prices in the U.S. Plains states extended record-setting gains in the fourth quarter of 2011, rising 25 percent from a year earlier as cash-rich farmers competed for land. In a quarterly survey that provides an important gauge of the U.S. agricultural economy, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City also said credit conditions have improved as farmers paid down debt at the yearend. The comments may help temper concerns of a land price bubble. “Strong farm incomes were fuelling the robust farmland value gains,” the Fed said in the survey of 253 bankers in its district. Non-irrigated cropland values jumped almost nine percent in the last three months of 2011 and were 25 percent higher than year-earlier levels, matching the record pace in the third quarter. “District bankers noted an increasing number of absentee landowners were putting their farms up for sale and attributed much of the auction activity to landowners seeking topdollar prices,” the Fed said. “Farmers were the main buyers.” It said the share of non-farmers who purchased land has diminished over the past six years to about onequarter of all buyers. The corn state of Nebraska saw the biggest jump: a 37.8 percent year-onyear price gain for non-irrigated cropland. Economists at the Federal Reserve and commercial banks closely monitor farmland values as a barometer of U.S. banking assets and as a benchmark for agricultural balance sheets. Farmland is basic collateral for farm loans. Skyrocketing land values have caused worries among bankers about the possibility of a ruinous farmland bubble like the one seen in the 1980s, when over-leveraged farmers lost their land as interest rates jumped. But farmers carry much less debt now, thanks to record farm income. Grain prices and production have also been strong, a rare double for farmers used to seeing prices fall as production rises. Booming farm exports and domestic ethanol have changed that traditional equation, market analysts say. The Fed’s 10th district stretches across the major wheat, corn and cattle states of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, along with Wyoming and parts of New Mexico and Missouri. The area has seen a jump in corn prices in recent years with the rapid expansion of cornbased ethanol output. “Strong farm incomes were fuelling the robust farmland value gains,” the report said. “During the fourth quarter, crop prices remained historically high but volatile, while livestock prices were well above year-ago levels.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FORAGE | WHEEL RAKE

Vermeer dampens its discs, lowers the load with rake design Designed for where teeth meet field and torsion meets tow STORIES BY BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LOUISVILLE, Ken. — Vermeer has taken its high capacity wheel rake system and suspended it in a good way. Large wheel rakes typically keep pressure in the ground using spring systems, the weight of the disc and machine or offsetting weight distributed from a neighbouring disc via a shared or tandem axle carrier. In most cases, a combination of processes put the teeth in contact with the field’s surface. Vermeer staff found the variation in the ground’s surface magnified the pressure on the rake tines, causing excessive wear and soil contact and uneven raking while windrowing forage and corn stover. Philip Egging of Vermeer in Pella, Iowa, said the company decided to look at other ways to keep pressure on the rake wheels. What the company came up with won it recognition from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers this year. The VR1428 High Capacity Wheel Rake was awarded an AE50 by ASABE at its Louisville meeting in February for creating a rake wheel suspension on each disc, dampening its movement and maintaining continuous pressure across uneven ground and in variable amounts of

LEFT: The hydraulic system that provides suspension to the rake wheels on the VR1428 allows the producer to set the pressure on the wheels without tools and without pushrods or chains. ABOVE: Cylinders replace springs and other systems of keeping equal down-pressure on the rakes reducing wear and soil contact. forage or crop residue. Each raking wheel has its own hydraulic lift cylinder that raises and lowers the unit. The wheels are plumbed into a central system that contains a nitrogen-charged accumulator. This provides constant pressure on the wheel through its full range of motion. “You don’t have the pressure on the wheel rising dramatically as the wheel moves up. If it were mounted to a spring, the spring’s force would rise as it stretched,” he said. The pressure the system applies is set by attaching the rake’s hydraulic system to the tractor and adding pressure. The pressure is captured with a hand-controlled valve on the rake and then it is adjusted to the

desired level by observing a gauge on the machine. “No tools needed. No more pushrods and chains,” he said. “One of the benefits that we might not have anticipated is how much quieter the rake runs than other, older models. That noise was the teeth on the ground. That is where the wear came from,” said Egging. While the company was at it, the way previous models transferred the pull from the tractor to the folding toolbar was changed through the addition of a three axis of rotation linkage between the centre and wing sections. “It eliminated the torsion on the large (28 foot wide) rake’s (toolbars). We have seen the two axis machines break under heavy use,

so this put the load on the (hitch section) instead,” he said. A new centre cleaner set of rakes were created, using full-sized, 54 inch wheels, rather than the typical smaller wheels that have a tendency to wrap in long grass. Those tines on those rakes are bent at a more extreme angle than on the main wheels. “ T h i s n e w r a k e f e e d s m o re smoothly than anything I’ve ever seen, its quiet and there’s nothing left behind. Any hey, we got an engineering award for it, so we’re pretty pleased,” said Egging. The VR1428 has a list price of U.S. $24,900.

LOUISVILLE, Ken. — Farm power unit tires are asked to do many things. They provide traction for pulling and weight dispersion without compaction — both without excessive field disturbance. And, if they’re on a combine, they have to be able to take a load of up to 30,000 pounds coming and going with each hopper load. Tractors only see a variable fuel load, and the tires that are found on most combines were designed for tractors. At Febr uar y’s National Far m Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky, Michelin released its first ultra-flexible tire specifically for combines and forage harvesters. The CerexBib, as the new rubber is dubbed, is available in IF and VF ratings, meaning it can take the same load as a standard tire, but at either 20 percent or 40 percent less inflation. That results in tires that can maintain a larger surface area than a standard tire while carrying the same load. The lower the pressure and the bigger the surface, the less compaction there is in the soil. The IFs go on the front, VFs on the back. “For the most part it will mean that our combine tire, the CerexBib, will carry about 40 percent less (air) pressure than most other tires that are on combines today,” said Michael Vandel of Michelin North America Ag Tires. The front IF rated tires can take a cyclic field operation, the technical phrase used to describe what happens to a tire that gets loaded and unloaded in the field, while maintaining all of its design qualities and without requiring increases or decreases in pressure. In this case, it’s up to 86 percent in load variation. “Those back tires are often overlooked. They get the biggest load of all on the combine. These smaller tires get their share of what is in the hopper, but what happens when you drop that header off. All that weight is gone in front, shifting the load of the engine and threshing to the back of the machine. “Typically you have them overinflated for the field or underinflated for the road. We’ve fixed that,” he said. The rear tires are VF rated and come as a 58 inch tall, 20 inch wide 520/80R26 or a 59 inch tall, 24 inch wide 620/70R26. The IF rated front tires are available in four sizes. There are three 800s — a 65R32, a 70R32 and a 70R38 — and a 680/85R32. The biggest has a diameter of nearly 81 inches and is about 31 inches across. The extra deep lugs are swept back at a 45 degree angle and splayed at the bottom, adding additional rubber. Added rubber can also be found in the shoulders and bead areas. This combination allows the tires to carry the additional load at the lower pressures. For more information visit www. michelinag.com.

SPRING | SOIL TESTING

Soil testing critical to seeding success in season after flooding Many scenarios possible | Varied nitrogen levels after soil is saturated, making soil tests a wise economic choice before considering fertilizers BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MELVILLE, Sask. — Soil tests this spring are critical after a couple of years of flooding, says soil scientist Jeff Schoenau. Farmers face planting into soil that is not in optimal condition after lying under water or covered in weeds, the University of Saskatchewan professor explained at a recent Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation crop management seminar. Water fills the pores in the soil when fields flood. “It greatly slows the movement of oxygen,” Schoenau said. In fact, the oxygen moves 1,000 times more slowly. Plant roots run out of oxygen, as do micro-organisms that live in the soil. The microbes begin to use nitrates instead, which they convert to gas and the soil then loses to the atmosphere. Nitrogen loss through this process, called denitrification, is the most common problem most producers will face, he said. “There can be rapid and extensive losses of nitrogen,” he said. It can even happen on anaerobic micro-sites in fields where the water has drained, he added. Nitrogen losses are variable. Losses of up to 50 percent of applied nitrogen were reported last year, Schoenau said, but soil tests in the spring showed more available than what Schoenau had expected. Heavy clay soil is more susceptible to denitrification, while sandier soil is more susceptible to leaching, in which the nitrogen could potentially move below the root zone. “After a wet year, it’s a good idea to go deeper in soil sampling,” Schoenau said. Sulfur can also be affected by excess water. He said soil that smells rank means microbes are converting sulfates to sulfide. Sulfur loss through gas isn’t usually a problem, but sulfur is mobile in the soil and can affect fertility in that way. If the sulfur has migrated upward, a soil sample could show high available sulfate close to the surface. Phosphorus and potassium are not affected by flooding and cannot be lost in a gaseous form. Schoenau said soil tests are also more important this year because fertility will be highly variable. Portions of fields may have been seeded and portions left flooded or weedcovered. Producers may face a number of soil scenarios this spring:

What should a farmer expect if a field was too wet to seed but it dried out and could be kept free of weeds? Schoenau said the loss of available nitrogen will be lower than if the field had been flooded the entire season. Some fields may have very high levels of available nitrogen. Microbial activity will be releasing nutrients, and an accumulation of available nutrients in those soils would likely occur. When he compared wheat stubble with an unseeded, tilled, weed-free

field, Schoenau found higher levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and micronutrients in the unseeded field. For a 30 bushel-per-acre crop, the farmer would need to apply 80 pounds of nitrogen on the stubble and 20 lb. on the fallow. “Save yourself the fertilizer dollars,” he said.

Q: A:

What should a farmer expect if weeds grew in fields that were too wet to seed? Schoenau said it could be a mixed blessing because the

plants at least take up nitrogen and prevent it from being lost. “In the short term, that’s not so good,” he said, because the nitrogen may not be released in time for the upcoming crop to use it. Mature weeds have a high ratio o f c a r b o n t o n i t ro g e n a n d t h e release of nitrogen would be slow. However, if the weeds were controlled when the plants were young, a lot of the nutrients they took up would siphon out of the weed biomass into plant available forms, he added.

Q: A:

What should a farmer expect if a field was seeded and fertilized but then flooded? Schoenau said nitrogen losses likely weren’t that great. Ammonium nitrogen does not leach or denitrify and farmers might have more available nitrogen than they think. He said farmers who use no-till systems might need to do a light tillage to smooth ruts. Research work he did three years ago found that a light till didn’t result in any measurable changes in soil properties.

What should a farmer expect if it was too wet to seed last year and the soil stayed saturated throughout the growing season? “Any residual available N is probably gone,” Schoenau said, even though there was no crop to use it. Denitrification would have occurred, and mineralization would have been limited. Mineralization is the conversion of organic nitrogen to the plant available forms of ammonium and nitrate. However, mineralization can take place as the soil dries.

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANOVER, Germany — A Saskatoon company has tapped the Google/Android smartphone platform to build a monitor for its popular seed and dry material tube blockage and seeding-rate sensors and controllers. Agtron Enterprises’ devices are found on Raven, Seed Hawk, Amity and a dozen other seeding systems and as aftermarket additions to air seeders around the world. Producers will be able to download the application for the phone from the company’s website and then rely on their Google/Android device to alert them that their seeder runs are obstructed once a sending unit is added to the blockage module. The connection from the seeding unit to the phone is wireless, which keeps the installation confined to the implement and avoids the cabling and hydraulic snake that reaches forward across the hitch to most tractors. Agtron’s Wireless ART system works in a single loop arrangement. It can monitor 140 sensors, while a dual loop can nearly double that. “We’ve a lot of success with the sensors. They are durable and reliable. Getting away from wiring is just good design,” said Bill Baker of Agtron. He launched the product at Germany’s Agritechnica farm show and hopes to have it reaching out to smartphones in prairie tractor cabs once the company has completed testing during the 2012 seeding season. Baker said the Android platform will be the first version, with an Apple iPhone and iPad application to follow.

BRANDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some bean growers are putting inoculant down as they roll their fields in an effort to speed up seeding. However, Gary McCrea of Ag Shield cautions that this works only when there is plenty of soil moisture near the surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a year with reasonable moisture near the surface so you seed shallow, then it can work quite well,â&#x20AC;? said McCrea, who sells land rollers sized seven to 70 feet and application units that handle seed and inoculant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if you seed at two inches to get down to good moisture, then you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see good results rolling on inoculant. Inoculant needs moisture, and it must be in close proximity to the seed. So it ends up like just about everything in farming. It depends on the weather.â&#x20AC;? He said some of his customers report good nodulation, but there were no replicated trials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to gauge how well it really did work without replicated trials over a period of time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Besides, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been using inoculants in a field for a number of years, then you stop using them, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still get decent nodulation from the residuals in the soil. Lets just say it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t not work.â&#x20AC;? W h i l e A g Sh i e l d ha s n â&#x20AC;&#x2122; t d o n e enough work yet to make a recommendation on rolling inoculants, McCrea has stronger opinions about rolling on forage seed. He said levelling a pasture or hay field results in two things: â&#x20AC;˘ a level field with a nice firm seedbed â&#x20AC;˘ a lot of bare ground just waiting to welcome the first viable seeds that come along. Unless producers apply forage seed in front of the roller, the first viable seeds to come along will be Canada thistle â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made this nice seedbed. You should put some nice seed in it.â&#x20AC;? McCrea said the most popular applicator he sells for rollers is a 12-volt, 30-amp unit that handles seed up to the size of canola. The electric fan is not capable of handling heavier seed. The applicator sells for $5,700. For producers who want to apply heavier seed, the same Austrian manufacturer supplies a bigger unit with a hydraulically driven fan. This applicator handles seed up to the size of peas and sells for $8,500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get up to three rollers, the electric fan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t powerful enough to handle the whole width, so you either go with the larger hydraulic drive or two of the smaller electric drives. But 60 amps is a lot to ask of some tractors.â&#x20AC;? For more information, contact McCrea at 204-539-2000 or visit www.agshield.com.

PGDC | QUALITY CONCERNS

CWB worries about wheat quality in new system Wheat, durum have international reputation | Wheat board wonders if new environment will change quality focus STORIES BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BANFF, Alta. — Grain marketers wondering how the elimination of single desk selling will affect wheat prices should consider another important question, said a Canadian Wheat Board manager. How will the elimination of single desk grain marketing affect western Canadian wheat quality? “CWRS and CWAD are two brands that are well recognized in many, many, many countries around the

world,” said Graham Worden, a senior manager of market development with the CWB. “We have taken a lot of time and a lot of effort to develop a quality characteristic within Canadian wheat that I feel is in danger of being compromised.” Worden, who spoke at the Prairie Grain Development Committee’s annual variety recommending meetings, told PGDC delegates that the quality of Canadian wheat is an important issue to international buyers. It differentiates the Canadian prod-

uct from lower-quality grain produced elsewhere and provides an assurance to customers who trust the

Canadian brand. Many buyers use higher quality Canadian wheat to blend with lower quality grain that is more plentiful and less expensive. Although it’s not clear how grain marketing changes will affect Canadian wheat quality, Worden said the industry must take steps to ensure that the reputation of Canadian wheat is protected. Failure to do so could have costly consequences. “It is recognized that CWRS and our durums are probably the best in the access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

world,” he said. “We have a reputation that we have developed over the last 75 years.” Western Canada’s variety registration system is important to maintaining Canada’s place in premium wheat markets, Worden said. Before any new Canadian wheat cultivars are recommended for registration, they are scrutinized by expert committees for end-use quality, disease resistance and agronomic performance. Lines that do not meet or exceed the overall performance of existing wheat varieties are unlikely to be registered. “We have varieties that are constantly (improved), verified, approved and registered,” said Worden, who chairs an expert committee for wheat quality. “In most cases, varieties with unacceptable functional quality will not be registered for commercial production.” Canada’s classification, grading and quality control systems also add value to Canadian wheat and ensure that foreign customers know what they are buying, he said. Changing those systems without thorough consultation could have lasting implications on Canadian wheat quality and foreign sales opportunities. As the exclusive seller of Canadian wheat, the CWB has played a key role in communicating the interests of foreign buyers to Canadian plant breeders and wheat producers. In the new marketing environment with multiple sellers, it is possible that larger volumes of Canadian wheat could be targeted toward midquality or low quality markets. Mike Scheffel, a senior manager with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, said changes to the grain marketing environment could also precipitate changes to Western Canada’s variety registration system. “Now that we’ve (no longer) got one single vendor of western Canadian wheat and barley, what does that mean for the future of the Canadian wheat industry?” Scheffel said. “It really does come back to you (at the PGDC). You are the committee that decides what the standards are supposed to be for variety registration and what the quality parameters are going to be, both now and in the future.” “(In August), we’re going to have different vendors of Canadian grain with different perspectives, perhaps, on what the end use quality (characteristics) should be.” Brian Beres, chair of the PGDC committee that evaluates new wheat lines, said it is likely that Western Canada’s variety registration system will evolve to address new needs in the industry. But quality will remain a key consideration and the PGDC will continue to balance the interests of producers and marketers alike, he said. “I think it (our system) will probably evolve over the years but … one thing I’ve learned is that our system is very open and transparent and it accommodates a lot of needs, whether they be the needs of producers, or public breeders or private industry interests,” Beres said.

NEWS PGDC | UNREGISTERED VARIETIES

Unregistered varieties no option for farmers Restrictions apply | Varieties that aren’t registered in Canada can’t be imported for commercial production BANFF, Alta. — Western Canadian grain farmers who are thinking about growing unregistered U.S. wheat varieties on their farms this spring should weigh the risks. Mike Scheffel, manager of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s seed section, said provisions in the Canada Seeds Act and Regulations prohibit prairie farmers from importing unregistered wheat varieties for commercial production and sale. Unregistered wheat varieties can be imported for other purposes including research, plant breeding, cleaning, conditioning and pedigreed seed multiplication. Unregistered varieties can also be grown legally in Canada but they can’t be imported for commercial production. “It’s not about growing (an unregistered variety), it’s about importation,” said Scheffel. “Farmers do not have the option of bringing unregistered wheat varieties into Canada for crop production purposes, either for delivery locally to their elevator as an unregistered variety or for delivery back into the United States. “If it’s an unregistered variety, you can’t bring it into Canada to produce a crop, regardless of whether you plan to sell it in Canada or in the United States or anywhere else in the world.” The issue of importing unregistered seed varieties from the U.S. has emerged as a topic of interest to some western Canadian wheat growers, particularly those near the U.S. border. Some Canadian growers say higher yielding wheat varieties that are currently being grown in Montana and North Dakota would also be a good fit for western Canadian farms located near the international boundary. They argue that some American wheat varieties offer a significant yield advantage over varieties that are currently available in Canada, although in many cases there is little or no scientific data to support those claims, only anecdotal information. They also argue that restricting access to promising U.S. varieties puts Canadian wheat growers at an

economic disadvantage to their American counterparts. Scheffel said last week that the issue of unregistered wheat imports is on the CFIA’s radar. The agency’s seed section has been receiving calls from farmers inquiring about the legality of the practice. “It is on our radar and we will be monitoring imports through the late winter and into the spring,” he said. “We’re mandated to administer and enforce the Seeds Act and Regulations. That’s our job.” The CFIA already knows that there is some unregistered wheat being grown in Western Canada each year. What’s not clear is how Canadian farmers acquire seed from an unregistered variety. In some cases, it might be smuggled across the border, Scheffel said. In other cases, it could be carryover seed from a Canadian variety that was once registered and later deregistered. In either case, Canadian producers must specify at the point of delivery what variety of wheat they are selling. Farmers that deliver and declare an unregistered variety will automatically have their grain downgraded to feed. Some grain industry stakeholders have been encouraging the federal government to address border issues affecting the Canadian grain trade. With the passage of Bill C-18, which eliminates the single desk monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board, some Canadian farmers argue that they should be free to import and grow unregistered U.S. wheat varieties and market those crops south of the border. Under current regulations, that practice is illegal in Canada. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Antiques collector finds homes for old treasures BY PATRICK PRICE FREELANCE WRITER

Gerry Frost has spent a lifetime, and a lot of gas, finding the treasures that others call junk. Frost, who lives in Calgary, collected stamps when he was young, but he didn’t catch the collecting bug until he was 17. “I found a bottle with a label on it and I studied that bottle for hours, reading the label and thinking of its

history. Then I found out it was worth money,” he said with a chuckle. His bottle collecting led him down the road searching throughout rural Western Canada, frequently stopping in little towns and at farm houses to look in Quonsets and barns. “I love hitting the open highway, getting back to my roots,” Frost said. “And I love talking to people, even if I don’t buy anything.” One of Frost’s best discoveries occurred several years ago en route access=subscriber section=news,news,none

to his cabin near Turtle Lake in Saskatchewan. He was driving through Kerrobert, Sask., and noticed a For Sale sign on the town’s theatre. Despite the fact that the roof was partially falling in, Frost stopped and made an offer on the theatre’s contents. As it turned out, everything in the theatre was originally from Calgary’s Capitol Theatre, which was built in 1921. “It took us four days to remove all the seats, movie reels, Coke dispensers, posters and everything else out of there,” Frost said. “I am still selling stuff from that purchase.” Frost may clean up the items he buys, but he rarely refurbishes them. He also has his limits. “I only buy what I like and it’s mainly pre-1960s,” Frost said. “I don’t want to end up with a lot of garbage, and I am not in the business of making things look new.” Frost sells a lot of his antiques and collectibles at the Antique Mall in Airdrie, Alta., as well as Just ImaJan Art Gallery in Cochrane, Alta. “A lot of the old tin and wind-up toys have bright colours, so I like to include them in some of my paintings, and Gerry brings in a lot of these rare items,” said Janet Armstrong, artist and owner of ImaJan. Frost knows a good deal when he sees one and can make split second decisions. He once bought 35 Harley Davidson patches from the 1950s for $100 and sold each one for $40. He thinks treating people with respect is another reason for his success. “I try to be polite with everyone I deal with and I don’t haggle with people. I try to let people give me their price on whatever they are selling, and then I give them my price on what I think it is worth. If people reject my offer,

The University Horses In its first 50 years, the College of Agriculture had many public attentiondrawing items, but none greater than the heavy horse-breeding program based on the Clydesdale. And why not, since the farming industry was powered by horses. The first purchases were two Clydesdale mares from Ontario, a pair of Clyde crosses and a Shire mare. Of course, there were also driving horses because that was how one travelled and the dean needed to inspect the farm. A major purchase of two Clydesdale mares and a filly from Scotland laid the bases for the regular exhibiting at the Toronto Royal and Chicago International.

Registration expected this year | DT818 is the first solid stem durum line to make its way through the variety registration process BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BANFF, Alta. — Prairie durum growers could soon have a new weapon in their ongoing battle against the wheat stem sawfly. Wheat experts from the Prairie Recommending Committee for Wheat, Rye and Triticale supported a new durum wheat line, DT818, for registration last week. The new line is notable because it is the first solid stem durum line to make its way through the variety registration process in Western Canada. With PRCWRT support, paperwork can now be sent to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s variety registration office and the new line is likely to be registered for commercial production some time in 2012. Certified seed supplies could be available to commercial durum growers within three years, depending on multiplication and marketing plans. “It’s a low grain cadmium line that offers a good agronomic package of

grain yield, straw strength, maturity, height and test weight, and has largesized kernels,” said Danny Singh, an Agriculture Canada plant breeder who developed the new line along with other Agriculture Canada colleagues, as well as collaborators from other public breeding programs and the private sector. Development of a sawfly resistant durum variety has been in the works for several years. John Clarke, a retired Agriculture Canada wheat breeder, screened early plant material for the solid stem trait and produced some early experimental lines. Clarke’s lines carried the solid stem trait but fell short of industry expectations in other areas such as agronomic performance, disease resistance and end-use quality. DT818 is the first sawfly resistant line to meet or exceed the overall performance of existing durum varieties. In pre-registration trials, grain protein levels were equal to or higher than grain protein checks in Avonlea

and Strongfield, Singh said. Grain cadmium levels are also well within established industry thresholds. Ron DePauw, another Agriculture Canada wheat breeder who works with Singh at Swift Current, Sask., said a solid stem durum line could deliver significant economic benefits to durum growers. In addition to yield and grain quality losses, farmers with heavily infested fields will often cut stubble closer to the ground to recover toppled wheat plants. Reducing stubble height means farmers are putting more straw through their combines, burning more fuel and putting more stress on machinery. Lower straw height also reduces winter snow trapping and can have a significant impact on crop yields the following year. Producer support for solid stem durum research and varietal development was provided by the Western Grains Research Foundation and Secan. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Swamp fever (Equine Infectious Anemia) spread through the provincial horse population in 1911-1913 and the university was not spared, losing 17 horses. The devastation led to one of the first major research studies on campus, unfortunately to no avail. More success was the outcome of research by Dr.J.S. Fulton in the 1940s when a vaccine was produced to combat Western Equine Encephalitis. Craigie Meral, the filly imported from Scotland was considered to be one of the greatest brood mares in Saskatchewan and with Lady Bruce of Lumsden took second and third prizes at the Chicago International. Other notables bred at the university were Lady Haig, Baron Fitz James and Ramsey, and along with the purchase of Queen of Hillcrest made the herd one of the leading Clydesdale breeding establishments in North America. The emphasis on the Clydesdales was not by accident since the first dean and Department of Animal Husbandry professors had a strong Scottish background. The Percheron and Belgian breeds had their supporters and eventually outnumbered the “Clydes”. Along with the resident horses, breeders would often bring their stallions to the campus to stand at stud as well as be examples for student training. Thoroughbred stallions were maintained as well, mainly for crossing with the farm chunk type mares, which were the preferred size for general farm work. The last Clydesdale gelding and Thoroughbred stallion left the campus in 1954, leaving only a chore team as a reminder of past glories. During the next fifty years horse husbandry continued to be taught despite the regular observation that the tractor had replaced horses. Nevertheless, the horse has made a major recovery as the basis for the mare-urine industry and more particularly for the recreational industry that outnumbers the horse population when it was at its peak for farm power.

RESEARCH | NUCLEAR INNOVATION

Nuclear research funding may benefit agriculture Sask. initiative will set up laboratory | The University of Saskatchewan’s veterinary and ag colleges expected to make proposals BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

New funding from the Saskatchewan government will assist nuclear research at the University of Saskatchewan, part of which could go to agricultural projects. Innovation minister Rob Norris signed a multi-year agreement last week for the province’s Innovation Saskatchewan agency to provide $30 million in f unding for t he Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation at the university. And when the research centre puts out the call for proposals later this year, the CCNI’s interim director John Root said there could be interest from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. “Part of what we’re doing is to help set up a lab to enable medical imaging research and development, and one of the applications there could be in getting a better idea about imaging in plants,” said Root, also the director of the National Research

Council’s Canadian Beam Centre. “We don’t quite know what a champion will come forward with as a proposal, but this is something that has been talked about over the summer and fall,” he added. In a media release, four research areas were highlighted: nuclear medicine, material science, nuclear safety and small reactor technology. Baljit Singh, a professor and associate dean at the veterinary college, called the announcement “a very exciting development.” The university, he said, is uniquely positioned for this kind of research, as it has faculty from all of the health sciences and houses a synchrotron at the Canadian Light Source, which will be used to develop medical isotopes. “The major objective of the centre is to develop these isotopes to image, to see inside the human body the development of a tumour or any abnormalities within the blood vessels ...” he said. The college, he said, will be seeking partnerships with other depart-

ments and federal entities to develop new ways of imaging disease processes in animals and, ultimately, humans. “We are going to be a major contributor to the science and application of the products coming out of the CCNI,” said Singh. It’s work that won’t necessarily apply to livestock productions, he said, but could help veterinarians caring for horses. He cited laminitis and resulting lameness as a particular area of interest. New imaging methods would allow researchers to “see the fine structures in the feet of the horse using radioisotopes.” “It’s a very broad field of possibilities and we’re very open to freedom of choice of people who want to be a participant in it,” said Root. Root said the $30 million commitment will fund the centre for seven years. While the CCNI will be legally distinct from the U of S, the university retains an interest in the centre’s activities and all of its academic and research activities will be reported. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

He also works with silver and gold. “I once made a pen using 22 karat gold and by the time I was done, it cost the customer over $100, but it was a beautiful pen,” Tracy says. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

NEW ZEALAND | FARM SALES

Chinese investment worries Kiwis Court ruling questions approval of farm sales WELLINGTON, N.Z. (Reuters) — A Shanghai-based investment group says Chinese companies will be reluctant to invest in New Zealand if it is not allowed to buy a group of farms in that country. A New Zealand court recently ordered that official approval of the sale should be reconsidered. The investment group, Shanghai Pengxin, is the preferred bidder to buy 16 farms being sold by administrators in a mortgagee sale for $166 million. The sale has been stymied after a court ruled that government ministers, who rubber-stamped a departmental recommendation, did not interpret rules about economic benefit of the deal correctly and should reconsider their decision. The sale of rural and coastal land to foreign interests is a sensitive issue in New Zealand, where agriculture dominates the economy. Shanghai Pengxin said other potential Chinese investors were watching the way it was being treated. “They will also be disappointed to see the level of anti-Chinese sentiment expressed in the recent months and the lengthy, expensive and uncertain approval process will be discouraging,” spokesperson Cedric Allan said in a statement. A rival New Zealand consortium, whose lower bid was rejected, has said it still wants to buy the farms and keep them in New Zealand hands. The rejection of its bid initiated the legal challenge. Allan said that in addition to buying and upgrading the farms and training New Zealanders to work on them, the company would invest in a New Zealand processing plant and provide money to market the products in China. Critics of the sale have questioned what expertise the Chinese group has in farming in New Zealand, where agriculture accounts for around half of economic output. The New Zealand government has said it will reconsider the economic benefits of the sale to the Chinese group, which means it could possibly reverse its approval. The farms have been on the market for two years after the original owner failed to repay bank loans. A new recommendation from officials could soon be sent to ministers, but a final government decision may be some weeks away. New Zealand is the only western nation to have a free trade agreement with China, which is the country’s second-biggest export customer behind Australia. Chinese interests already have significant holdings in New Zealand, including owning dairy processor, Synlait, and key stakes in agribusiness PGG Wrightson Ltd and appliance maker F&P Appliances Ltd. Foreign investors are free to invest in New Zealand urban property but need official approval for purchases of anything but small parcels of rural land. The biggest buyers of New Zealand rural land in the past two years have been from the United States, Britain, Europe and Australia. access=staff section=news,none,none

CHIC AG O, Ill. (Reuters) — A female inmate at a prison print shop suspected of sneaking an image of a pig into the official Vermont state police crest may never be identified. Authorities could not find the culprit among several women at the shop who were suspected of having altered, more than a year ago, the officially sanctioned design in a prank that went viral online after it came to light this month. An investigation into the case is over and no charges are forthcoming, said Penny Carpenter, executive assistant with Vermont’s Department of Corrections. Vermont’s approved state police crest depicts a spotted cow against a background of snowy mountains, but the inmates’ version featured one of the cow’s spots shaped like a pig in an apparent reference to the pejorative word for police. About 30 police cruisers sported 60 of the 16-inch decals for at least a year, until a trooper discovered the porcine-inspired design on his cardoor decal Feb. 1 and reported it. Ver mont government offices sometimes contract with correctional facilities to employ prisoners to make print products, including the car decals, police said. Female inmates from a women’s prison in Windsor worked at the local print shop that made the decals. It was unclear how many, if any, of the inmate-modified decals still exist on police cars. Carpenter said all 60 of them have been destroyed and replacement emblems were made at the same shop in Windsor, at a cost of around $800, she added. access=staff section=news,none,none

U OF S SOLAR POWER RESEARCH GETS $492,000 BOOST University of Saskatchewan chemistry researcher Ron Steer has received $492,000 from the federal Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) to help him develop cheaper, tougher solar cells. “The available global supply represents about 10,000 times the world’s current combined electrical generation capacity,” Steer said. Efficiency remains a challenge. The best solar cells, such as those used in spacecraft, are 40 percent efficient, while typical consumerlevel photovoltaics deliver 12 percent at most. Both are still much too expensive for widespread use in solar energy farms. Organic (carbon-based) solar cells access=subscriber section=news,none,none

are considerably cheaper but also much less efficient and too fragile for commercial use. It is here where Steer and his colleagues hope to make progress. They are working to improve organic photovoltaics, known as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) by letting them use more of the sunlight that hits them. The researchers have discovered a way that could allow DSCs to use near-infrared light, which are the rays that warm the skin on a summer’s day. More than half of the sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface as infrared light. The team is also working on the problem of durability. Organic photovoltaics are brittle and don’t last long. By incorporating extremely tough materials such as carbon nanotubes, researchers hope to create solar cells that are cheap, durable, and deliver more energy. RESEARCH SAYS PULSES HELP FIGHT HEART DISEASE New research shows that adding peas, beans, chickpeas and lentils to a regular diet can reduce cholesterol, a risk factor in cardiovascular disease. A 2011 study led by Dr. Philip Chilibeck, professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Kinesiology, was designed to determine the effects of a pulsebased diet in individuals older than 50. Study participants consumed two daily servings (about 1 1/2 cups) of pulses for two months. The study showed that compared to their regular diet, the pulse-based diet decreased the participants’ total cholesterol by 8.3 percent. This reduction included a 7.9 percent drop in LDL, also known as “bad” cholesterol, over the two month period. The level of decrease for both total and LDL cholesterol resulting from pulses in this study is similar to those seen from eating oats and plant sterols, both of which recently received approved health claims in Canada for their cholesterollowering effects. It is estimated that 50 percent of Canada’s general adult population has moderate to high cholesterol levels. Results confirmed that adding pulses to a regular diet can result in a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Pulses are a heart-healthy food rich in nutrients like protein, fibre, folate and antioxidants. Eating pulses regularly may also lower the risk of cardiovascular disease through favourable effects on blood pressure, blood glucose and insulin levels by satisfying hunger and helping manage body weight.

HORSES | OLDER ANIMALS

Geriatric horses require special care Many owners consider horses to be pets | Old horses can have sway backs, grey hair, poor teeth and hoof wear BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It used to be that old horses were called, well, old horses. Now the term geriatric is used to describe a horse getting up there in years. As humans live longer, it would seem the horse population is doing the same. Some of the terminology invented for humans, such as geriatrics, is the same for horses. Rightly so, says Dr. Katharina Lohmann of the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinarian Medicine, who specializes in large animal internal medicine. “The knowledge is increasing,” she told the Equine Expo in Saskatoon Feb. 18. “I always find it interesting how all the research that gets done in animals for the purpose of helping humans ultimately comes back to the animals. Now we’re starting to talk about geriatric diseases in animals and a lot of that is actually based on what we know about humans, which I’m sure at some point has come from animal research. To me it sometimes feels like this cycle is closing.” Lohmann said there have been no official Canadian studies, but the perception is that horses are living longer because they’re healthier. As well, owners may be more willing to keep older horses around as pets. “Maybe we’re going towards a

Responsible horse ownership was at the heart of Lohmann’s one hour seminar. “Young horses get older. What are you going to do when that horse gets older, what can you expect and what are your options?” she said. Horses older than 15 are considered geriatric. Common physical characteristics of old age in horses include swayback, drooping lips, grooves above the eyes, graying hair and tooth and hoof wear. Problems can include weight, athletic purpose, r ider safety, reproductive capacity and quality of life. Obesity can be an issue, but weight loss is the bigger problem.

“In the fall and towards the winter, we’re presented with horses that are thin, where owners are concerned about getting them through the winter,” she said. Causes of weight loss include inability to eat (dental disease, competition), increased nutrient requirements (demand versus supply), loss of appetite and nutrient loss through diseases. Lohmann said a recent survey found that horse owners often underestimate the severity of their animals’ health problems. For example, 24 percent of the owners suspected dental abnormalities but examination showed 95 percent of old horses had teeth problems. “The take home message is that with an older horse, it may be worthwhile doing regular veterinar y examinations to pick up problems

that maybe go unnoticed, even to a very observant owner,” she said. Lohmann said horse owners also need to think about end of life decisions before they happen. “Whether you like it or not, as a responsible horse owner, I think you’ve got to think about what are you going to do with that horse if it’s ill, or if it’s old or it has outlived its purpose.” Lohmann said a recent British survey of 200 horse owners found that 94 percent of deaths in old horses were the result of euthanasia. Of those, 24 percent were euthanized because of lameness and 20 percent because of colic problems. She said the decision to euthanize was often based on the owner’s perception of the horse’s poor quality of life. “Quality of life in horses is some-

thing that we haven’t really investigated very much,” she said. A quality of life assessment would include looking at the horse’s mobility, eating ability and appetite, pain and discomfort, mental capacity, “happiness” and response to treatment. Marion Bear of Muskoday, Sask., who attended the seminar, said she has raised horses for about 40 years and has had to euthanize older horses. She was also concerned about the welfare of a horse with a previous injury. “I wanted to evaluate what our handling of the previous situations has been to see if we actually were doing what was in the best services of the animals,” she said. Lohmann credits the American Association of Equine Practitioners for bringing the issue of euthanasia into the open, promoting dialogue about the unwanted horse issue and educating owners on the options. “If the first time you think about it is in a very stressful, pressure environment, it just augments it so much,” she said. “I would really encourage people to make that part of their ownership program.” Bear agreed: “You have to be watching your animals and be quite aware of how they are doing, what the changes are and whether there is, from our perceptions, sufficient pain (to justify euthanasia),” she said. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

MEAT SAFETY | STANDARDIZED INSPECTIONS

U.S. report favours harmonization in meat sector Beyond the Border agreement | The report recommends a single regulatory system for inspections, grading and food safety BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Canada and the United States have been urged to harmonize their food safety and meat grading standards to fully integrate the red meat industries. A report from the Fraser Institute makes the case for a standardized beef and pork market in its analysis of the damage created by country-oforigin labelling in the United States. “We recommend a single national regulatory regime, including all the provisions on animal health and food safety and meat quality, should be negotiated between the two countries,” said economist Alexander Moens, one of the report’s authors. The full report will be released later this spring. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said efforts to harmonize are already underway. “We started working in agriculture on some of the other issues like pesticides, chemicals and veterinary drugs, but we are taking it more further to harmonize the beef industry,” he said. “For all intents and purposes for the beef industry, the border doesn’t exist. There is a free flow of cattle back and forth.” This is part of the Beyond the Border agreement first announced by U.S. president Barack Obama and prime minister Stephen Harper last December to harmonize regulations, inspections and other trade issues between the two countries. The agreement did not include Mexico because it does not have the same equivalency for grades and inspections. It could make the same request for harmonization once it rises to the same level. “It wouldn’t violate NAFTA if we started earlier as long as we had the proviso that Mexico could join when it meets the standards,” Moens said. “The top decision makers have to say this is like the auto industry. It is a joint industr y. We make cars together.” However, he acknowledged that politics can interfere with business. He said Canadians are more in favour of integration, while the White House seems to listen to protectionist farm lobby groups when implementing laws such as COOL. “We find quite often in the U.S., narrow based interest groups outperform broad based groups,” he said. When mandatory COOL was first proposed in the 2002 U.S. farm bill, American farm lobby groups that supported the law spent $17.5 million while its opponents spent less than $6 million. “The small, but highly effective, vocal R-CALF lobby in the U.S. was in that group,” he said. R-CALF spent slightly less than $1 million on lobbying during this period. Groups opposing COOL later spent more, but it was a catch up effort that came too late. Not all the lobbying money was spent on COOL, but Moens said the budgets showed how these groups can influence policy makers. The World Trade Organization has ruled that the law violates international agreements, but the battle is access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

not over for Canada and Mexico. “American narrow special interest groups will look for a third opportunity to whack the Canadian product a little lower yet,” he said. “That victory is far from over and it probably is never over. We still have a long way to go.” The report said COOL had a greater impact than the BSE trade embargo. Canadian live exports declined 23 percent when the U.S. closed its borders because of BSE. The research showed a 23.5 percent decline from COOL. “There appears to be a correlation

between price depression and the implementation of COOL in 2008 on Canadian livestock exports to the U.S.A.,” he said. Live markets have rebounded to

record levels in 2011 but would have been greater without COOL. Moens said this bill was the first of its kind in the world. Country-of-origin labelling is usually done to increase product value, he added, but the American law added only costs. Sorting cattle and hogs was expensive for processors, increasing the costs of imported cattle by an estimated $45 to $59 per head while the cost for handling U.S. cattle was just an extra $1.50 per head. The cost of sorting Canadian hogs increased by $6.90 to $8.50 per head

while the cost for American owned pigs was 25 cents per head. The costs created a strong incentive for processors to buy only American product rather than pay for extra segregation, paperwork and labels. The study also found little support for the law among Americans. Surveys indicate that consumers rank freshness, food safety, leanness, quality, tenderness, colour and nutritional value higher than origin. “Maybe this is why American retailers and suppliers were not doing this on a voluntary basis because there is not much money in it,” Moens said.

Efficient water use aids manure handling

Co-ordinator to get research to users

Less liquid to spread | Liquid manure means more land is required for spreading BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

One drop of water per second can equal 7,800 litres per year. What does it cost to spread that amount of liquid? Hog producers should be wondering about that, says Dean Gurney of Manitoba’s Puratone Corp. “You may not be paying for that water dripping, but you sure are paying for the application of that water as manure later,” he told farmers at the recent Manitoba Swine Seminar. Puratone rigorously manages water use in its barns, doing daily water meter readings to see if use is

high or increasing. Gurney said it’s something all producers should do. “Too often in the past, fire hoses have been used to assist in washing and cleaning the barn, and this can be a large waste of water,” he said. Controlling dripping taps, lines and feeders can also have a large impact because over long periods of time drips can waste an enormous amount of water. Setting feeders at the right height can also ensure that lots of water does not slop out accidentally. Manure spreading is a costly part of hog production, with modern production systems employing environ-

mentally positive but expensive injection and incorporation technology. Every litre of manure has to be spread, and the larger the amount of liquid, the further the spreading has to be conducted. In many hog production areas, there just isn’t a lot of land to waste with unnecessary spreading. Gurney said water is an essential element for animals, works well as a cleaning agent and is the basis for most manure handling systems, but that means better use of water is vital for an efficient system. “We would never limit water to our animals, but being conscious of wastage and overuse can lead to a more efficient barn,” said Gurney. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association has attempted to solve this problem by launching an extension initiative that bridges the gap between scientific research and beef cattle production. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The Beef Cattle Research Council, an arm of the CCA that allocates research funding from the national check-off program, has hired a beef extension co-ordinator to consolidate and disseminate research information, said CCA research manager Andrea Brocklebank. “We want to ensure that the research we fund and beyond, the research from other funders, is getting out to producers.” Brocklebank said the CCA joined forces with Agriculture Canada several years ago to form a beef science research cluster. The idea was to direct industry and government funds toward co-ordinated research in the beef sector on topics such as feed efficiency, beef quality and food safety. “It was really positive in that we started seeing research that wasn’t just one project, but an entire suite of programs aligned with industry priorities,” she said. The science clusters have been successful, but research alone won’t improve the competitiveness of Canada’s beef industry if producers don’t act on the science. Hiring beef cattle extension specialists is one way to promote research, but Brocklebank said the option isn’t financially viable. “Previously, extension was about going to different farms, but that’s not feasible in the current funding dynamic,” she said. “As well, farmers are looking at different ways to do things. So a lot of focus is on social media and web based things.” Instead of extension reps, the CCA has hired its former communications co-ordinator, Tracy Sakatch, to become the research council’s beef extension co-ordinator. Sakatch will start her new job by assembling beef research on the council’s website and presenting it in a clear and comprehensive manner. For example, there has been a great deal of research recently on distillers grain, Brocklebank said. So instead of producers sifting through 40 scientific papers on the topic, they can visit one website to access the relevant information and related links. “A lot of times there is extension out there, but it’s just not all in one single place,” she said. Making council research available to beef producers is a priority, but the council also wants to assimilate extension information from other organizations and agencies. Sakatch will work with provincial beef production specialists in an effort to share information across borders. “There is, say, very good forage work in Manitoba … but there is also really good work going on in Alberta. So the sharing and application of both is pretty important,” Brocklebank said. “Trying to encourage uptake of information, across provinces, is one of our goals.” She said the research council also wants producers to have more information on feed efficiency. “One of the biggest top-of-mind issues right now is around feed efficiency and forage production, due to high feed costs and trying to manage those margins.”

MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES | TREATMENTS

Large animal veterinarian’s role changing with specialization ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

large animal veterinarian must be adaptable, especially with the dynamic production of the animal industry. Forty or 50 years ago a lot of mixed farms included cattle (some dairy some not), pigs and chickens. However, farm flocks disappeared and large commercial poultry operations took over. Hogs are now mainly produced on large farms and a veterinary swine specialist often looks after them. On the other hand, local veterinary practitioners generally attend to most cattle needs. They are available and capable. Herd health visits are regularly scheduled on larger operations, especially on the dairies, which has reduced a lot of emergency work. That, and easy calving beef lines, have almost made caesarean sections and hard pulls things of the past. The discovery of BSE in Canada in 2003 hit the industry hard. Many things that had been routinely done were now left out, such as pregnancy diagnosis, vaccinations and treating individual cows. Management decisions were also neglected, such as when and what to vaccinate for and when to pull the bulls. Pessimism fell over the entire beef cattle industry. BSE also hit the dairy industry hard. Cull cow prices dropped through the floor, which had provided needed income to the dairy industry. As well, valuable breeding stock could not be exported. A large section of the beef industry was sold off over time, resulting in a much smaller Canadian cattle herd. The cattle industry is now much stronger price-wise, and many top producers have started re-implementing preventive procedures. Some never stopped doing the good management procedures, which is admirable, especially when times were tough. Now is the time for other producers to start catching up and realize that a lot of these procedures return dollars, especially in a high market. We are starting to examine more individual cows again as their value, and the value of their calves, rises. I want producers to carefully go over the following list and think about whether they take care of these procedures on their ranches. Calf care It is advisable to treat newborn calves for pneumonia and scours and hook them up to intravenous fluids if they are dehydrated from scours. Most clinics can keep these calves isolated, warm and the fluids running. As a result, prognosis for recovery is good, and they will often bounce back in one to two days. Your veterinarian may have to visit if many cases occur. He can work on diagnosis, prevention and biosecurity measures, which may reduce access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

new cases. Broken legs on calves usually have a good prognosis and treatment is definitely worth examining with today’s market. Calves born with hernias in which the intestines start to stick out can be saved if they are wrapped, kept upside down and transported quickly. We have even done several colostomies over the years on calves born without rectums. These calves can go on to reach slaughter weight. Cow care We sent many samples of dead cows away during the BSE era where there had been no treatment. Nowa-

days, prices are good and deciding to ship a cow early for salvage or treating early may have a good outcome. Kidney infections don’t have to be a death sentence. Cows will recover and either raise their calf or carry it to term if the infection is caught early and if the treatment is long enough. However, they may be a walking time bomb because these conditions may reoccur during the next pregnancy. As a result, it’s probably best to ship them the following fall. Lumpy jaws or wooden tongues carry a good prognosis if treated early. Your vet may need to administer sodium iodide intravenously as well as other treatments, but in most cas-

es the wooden tongue is cured and the lump jaw is arrested at that point. The bony changes to the jaw will stay the same, but the condition should not worsen.

Lameness

Mastitis and metritis

Production gains

Mastitis and metritis, which is an infection in the uterus, also have favourable outcomes most times if vigorously treated. Your veterinarian may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs. One must also consider that this is like treating two animals because these diseases often crop up shortly after calving season. Cows must be healthy to provide enough milk for their calves.

By working together selecting the proper bulls, deworming, devising new implant strategies and using beta agonists such as Zilmax or Optaflexx in feedlots producers will almost surely improve gains.

Sole abscesses, corns and septic arthritis can have favourable outcomes if properly treated.

Roy Lewis has a veterinary practice in Westlock, Alta., and works part time as a technical services veterinarian with Merck Animal Health.

It takes a lot of time to milk over 400 cows. So the Schoutens started to ‘think outside the barn’.

Arnold and Elaine Schouten run one of Ontario’s top producing dairy herds, milking over 400 Holstein cows daily. That’s a lot of energy spent on a repetitive, time-consuming task. With the next generation now becoming involved, the Schoutens have invested in their future by purchasing 10 robotic milking systems, leaving their hands free to run the rest of their operation. That’s the kind of ‘doing things a bit differently’ that farming demands in order to stay competitive. And it’s where Scotiabank can help, with innovative products and lending that can give you access to the funds you need, when you need them.

CWB | CONTRACTS

Producers want to see new handling agreements Lack of information | The CWB hasn’t released its pricing programs and producers say grain firms’ contracts are confusing BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grain Growers of Canada says farmers need the Canadian Wheat Board to begin offering new crop contracts for wheat. Producers are also unhappy with what they have seen from grain companies. GGC sent a letter to the CWB and the Western Grain Elevator Association asking both to commit the resources necessary to wrap up talks so the wheat board can launch its pricing programs. “We’re waiting and we’re watching. Get it done,” said Grain Growers executive director Richard Phillips. CWB spokesperson Maureen Fitzhenry said the CWB won’t comment about the negotiations, but added that farmers can expect to see details on its pricing programs “very shortly.” Phillips said growers have called his office wondering why it is taking so long for the CWB to get in the game. It has been more than two months since the marketing freedom bill received royal assent. Phillips said his organization pushed hard for marketing choice yet there remains no choice because a key player in the grain industry hasn’t entered the market. He realizes that negotiations are complex but spr ing is rapidly approaching and farmers need to make planting decisions. “Our sense is that they’re not moving as fast as they need to. I don’t think there’s enough urgency on this one,” said Phillips. Elden Boon, a farmer from Virden, Man., agreed. “Everything needs to get moving here,” he said. Boon had hoped the CWB would have released details on its pricing programs by the end of January. The lack of contracting information is frustrating for farmers he talks to on coffee row. Growers are locking in fertilizer and other input prices, as well as canola and pulse prices. They need to do the same with wheat and barley. Grain company officials have told Phillips negotiations with the CWB are nearing an end and he is confident that is true. But time is of the essence. “Put time and resources in on both sides and make this thing happen because farmers expect to see marketing choice,” said Phillips. Boon had a similar message for the negotiating parties. “Everybody needs to make the effort here and get some stability in the market going forward,” he said. “It needs to happen really quickly.” Boon said growers are also disappointed by what they’ve seen so far from grain companies. “These contracts are really confusing. You almost need to get some legal advice on them before you sign on the dotted line,” he said. He feels the contracts are lopsided in favour of the grain companies. They include clauses protecting companies against any potential changes brought about from the lawsuits attempting to overturn the open market. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

RICHARD PHILLIPS GRAIN GROWERS OF CANADA

Prices are based on growers delivering No. 1 and No. 2 quality wheat,

leaving uncertainty about what happens if grades are lower. And there are no grade or protein spreads outlined in the documents. In the past, growers knew exactly how much it would cost to get their grain to export position but handling costs are not spelled out clearly in the new contracts. “At the end of the day, we’ve got less transparency than what we’ve had in the past,” said Boon. Because of all the uncertainty, he hasn’t forward priced any of next year’s wheat.

Boon isn’t alone. Phillips estimated 100,000 tonnes of wheat have been contracted, which is a drop in the bucket considering the forecast for 21.8 million tonnes of Canadian production in 2012-13. Fran Malecha, chief operating officer of grain with Viterra, said they’re trying to make the transition to an open market as smooth as possible. “We’re working to make sure growers understand those contracts,” he said. “Hopefully the clarity will continue to come to growers as they move into

the season.” Boon said part of the confusion arises because the contracts are so different from one another. “I would like to see some standardization in these contracts. Every grain company seems to have their own version of what they want to do,” he said. Malecha said that problem will likely work itself out. “Over time you’ll see the bids from the grain companies harmonizing. It might just take a little bit of time here for that to happen,” he said.

GRAIN SHIPPING | COSTS

Producers to gain from handling efficiencies: grain monitor STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Growers will share in tens of millions of dollars in grain handling and transportation savings in the post single desk environment, say analysts and grain companies. “It just logically has to get more efficient,” said Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corporation, the monitor for the prairie grain handling and transportation system. “That is going to be a big deal.” The first place efficiencies will arise is in the country elevator network, where in the past two independent parties have been planning the gathering of grains into one network. “Over time the grain companies

and the (Canadian) Wheat Board have gotten better at working and planning together but you still have problems, you still have issues and conflicts,” said Hemmes. Grain companies were never sure how things were going to unfold from one week to the next with the CWB handling logistics for board grains and the grain companies taking care of the non-board crops. Removing the CWB from the planning process should make it easier for the owners of the assets to make better use of their facilities. “You have to think there’s going to be efficiencies that are going to translate into money. It’s just logic,” said Hemmes. Viterra thinks so. The company

issued a news release saying it expects to realize a $40 to $50 million increase in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) per year in the post single desk world starting in 2014. Fran Malecha, chief operating officer of grain with Viterra, said a significant portion of those savings will arise due to better use of the company’s assets. “We’re turning the assets at a much higher rate on the non-boards. We expect that will transfer over to the board grains and increase the overall efficiency of our current assets.” Viterra had a two-week planning window for moving board grains under the CWB’s rail car allocation system. In an open market the plan-

ning horizon is much longer. Viterra has been contracting grain since Dec. 20. “You’re much better able to plan the logistics through the country elevator,” said Malecha. “That’s just one example of how it’s going to be more efficient.” Some of the cost savings will be passed along to farmers. “I see the pie getting bigger potentially for all the industry and certainly growers are the key participant in the industry,” said Malecha. In addition, growers will be better equipped to make planting and marketing decisions and to move grain when they want. Richard Phillips, executive director of the Grain Growers of Canada, said access=subscriber section=news,none,none

there was a lot of frustration with the way the CWB allocated rail cars. “The wheat board did a good job co-ordinating for its own crops but to the detriment of others at times,” he said. That created bottlenecks for nonboard grains at the port. Phillips is confident some of the newfound efficiencies will be passed along to growers in the form of trucking premiums, higher basis levels and other incentives, as long as there’s enough competition in the grain handling sector. Hemmes doesn’t think that will be an issue. Grain companies in the U.S. and abroad are eyeing the Canadian market. “Don’t lose sight of the fact that you’ve just taken 20 percent of the world’s export trade in wheat and thrown it open. And so those companies are looking at that and they’re drooling and they’re going to be in here.” Companies like Toepfer International, Bunge, Gavilon, The Scoular Company and Archer Daniels Midland are all looking to expand their presence in Canada, he said. Hemmes also expects other changes in the post single desk world: • grain companies could dedicate certain elevator s to certain crops • m o re U. S. g ra i n c o u l d m ov e through Canadian ports and viceversa, creating a continental export market • another round of elevator consolidation might occur, although new entrants may buy some of the discarded assets.

PORT OF CHURCHILL | VIABILITY

Gov’t support sought for port

C-60-01/12-BCS11080-E

A group dedicated to preserving the Port of Churchill and the rail line servicing it is dismayed by the lack of details on how the government intends to keep the port viable after the end of the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk. Almost all of the grain that has moved through the port in the past has been wheat and barley marketed through the CWB. There is concern that traffic will dwindle once the wheat board monopoly on wheat and export barley ends on Aug. 1. The federal government has promised to introduce short-term initiatives to keep grain flowing through the port but details have been scant, said Sinclair Harrison, president of the Hudson Bay Route Association. For instance, the government has announced that it will provide an economic incentive of up to $5 million per year for five years to support grain shipments of through Churchill. But Harrison has yet to hear details, such as how the application process will work or who can apply. The government has established a Crop Logistics Working Group that is expected to address transportation and supply chain concerns arising from the transition to an open market. It is scheduled to deliver a report to federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz in March. “Hopefully there is going to be answers in March,” said Harrison. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Federated Co-operatives Ltd. posted a hefty profit in 2011, but the organization will be borrowing money in the next year, which will affect future returns seen by its members. Chief executive officer Scott Banda told the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting Feb. 27 that sales totalled $8.3 billion in 2011, up more than $1 billion from the numbers in its previous annual report. From that, FCL posted a return of $839 million, with $537 million going back to its members as patronage dividends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The performance of your cooperative in 2011 was impressive,â&#x20AC;? Banda told the assembly of retail coop representatives. The numbers were â&#x20AC;&#x153;simply outstanding,â&#x20AC;? he said. Vic Huard, FCLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-president of corporate affairs, said the organization attained or exceeded its budget goals in all areas, including its crop supplies, feed, food, forest products, general merchandise and petroleum businesses. However, the organization will still need to borrow cash as it completes an expansion to its refinery in Regina and builds a petroleum storage and distribution facility in Alberta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are significant capital projects. If you combine the two, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well into the high two billions and pushing $3 billion,â&#x20AC;? said Huard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great cash position, but there are very few companies, I dare say anywhere in the world, that could execute those kind of capital projects and not enter into a borrowing position.â&#x20AC;?

New retirement savings options available for small business owners

COLIN MILLER

Administration of the pooled pension plan is handled by a third party

bers: the purchase of a life annuity, transfer to an RRSP or Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF), or payment of benefits similar to RRIF benefits from the employee’s PRPP account. Employees will pay tax on these payments, just like other pensioners. Owners of small businesses may have more retirement options than they realize because there are many different ways to save money toward an otherwise uncertain future. There are many unique tax issues that you need to consider and it is important that you take the time to

consider both short- and long-term planning issues that will help minimize the tax that you and your family have to pay. Retirement tax planning can be sophisticated and requires careful planning advice. Talk to a professional adviser to help you determine which retirement option would be best for you.

Cargill closes Winnipeg elevator, service centre SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Cargill Ltd. is closing its Winnipeg East elevator and service centre as of March 1. The facility includes an 8,000-tonne elevator, crop inputs sales and a dry fertilizer plant and shed.

The facility has five full-time employees, all of whom have been presented with transition packages, the company said. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

armers will soon have a new option for tax-effective retirement savings for themselves and their employees. Federal legislation to create Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPP) was introduced last fall, has received second reading and has gone to committee. PRPPs are intended to be a broadbased, low-cost, defined pension option that will be available to all employees, employers and selfemployed individuals. It will offer the benefits of participating in a large pension plan such as the defined contribution plans that many large companies offer, and will also allow employers to offer retirement savings without the cost of setting up a pension plan and administering it. PRPPs will make it more attractive for small business owners to offer pension plans to their employees because most of the responsibility will be passed to a third party administrator such as a financial institution. The administrator will be responsible for managing the pension fund and day-to-day administration, which lowers the costs that are passed down to users. PRPPs also offer the same tax benefits as Registered Retirement Savings Plans. Like RRSP contributions, PRPP contributions will be taxdeductible. A participant’s combined PRPP contributions and RRSP contributions will be subject to the current annual RRSP limit of 18 percent of the previous year’s earned income, up to a maximum of $22,970 for 2012. Individuals will be able to transfer their savings between PRPPs, so they’re not wedded to one plan. Employers are not required to contribute to employee PRPPs, but they can choose to match their contributions either fully or partially. Employers who choose to contribute will be able to deduct PRPP contributions, but contributions will apply immediately, unlike some pension plans in which employer contributions do not apply until the employee has been with the company for a set time. Employers will not be required to report pension adjustments for employee and employer contributions as they would for an employersponsored registered pension plan. As a result, the PRPP option should be easier to administer. To receive a pension from a PRPP, employees w ill have the same options that are available to defined contribution pension plan memaccess=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

WINNIPEG — Parents with children in hockey know all too well that it’s not easy to pull back the bed covers on a - 28 C Saturday morning and drive to an early morning practice. It may not represent the same level of dedication — or madness — but nine Manitobans did force themselves out of bed on a frigid Saturday morning recently to pursue their dreams of becoming farmers. Nine wannabe farmers, gathered around a board table inside the United Way building in downtown Winnipeg at 8:45 a.m. to take part in a course called Exploring Your Small Farm Dream. The course, organized by the Manitoba Farm Mentorship Program, is a resource for urban and rural folk looking to start their own farm, perhaps growing organic vegetables or producing free range eggs. The course helps prospective farmers assess their skills and aptitude for agriculture. It also helps answer the question: is an agricultural business right for me? A cynic might envision a group of well intentioned back-to-the-land types, with braids in their hair and self-righteousness in their veins. But the folks sitting at the table resembled an ordinary collection of Manitobans. They had conservative haircuts and seemed to be drinking ordinary coffee rather than organic soy milk lattés. According to program facilitator Clint Cavers, a farmer from Pilot Mound, Man., it attracts both folks who are serious and not so serious about farming. “Some come in with tons of agricultural experience and real desire to farm,” he said. “And some people have this notion that farming would be kind of this fun thing to do (for) a relaxed lifestyle.” In fact, several of the people at the workshop did have on-farm experience, including Kristine Askholm, who has worked on farms throughout Manitoba over the last few years. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

The experience has helped Askholm develop practical farm skills, but she isn’t quite ready to make the leap into running her own farm just yet. “Part of my being at this course is to figure out the business side, to see if it is something I could make money at or want to make money at. Because for the most part I just want to provide for myself,” she said during a break. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

FARM LIVING “It (making money) is not as easy to learn as the tangible physical stuff, which I can just learn by doing.,” said Askholm . Colin McInnes has worked at farms in Manitoba as an intern building up a resumé of skills. He had a similar reason to attend the workshop. A cautious person by nature, he has no plans to take out a $100,000 bank loan to pursue his small farm dream. “I’m very scared of debt,” said McInnes, a University of Winnipeg graduate. McInnes and Askholm offer a typical answer when asked why they want to become farmers. They prefer a quieter life, want to be close to nature, enjoy the work and feel that food production is an essential human activity. Yet, they are aware that popular perceptions of farming and real life food production aren’t one and the same. “I think a lot of people can fail at it because it is a very romantic idea to move to the farm,” McInnes said. “The reality is it’s not like that and I always have to push myself away from that view.” While their feet may be grounded and they may be headed down a path toward farming, the couple aren’t completely committed yet. After leading a wandering life for a few years, Askholm has a hard time envisioning a life where she’s rooted to a specific location. “I’ve been moving from farm to farm for years…. So I’d have to really be sure that I wanted to invest in something and just be in one place.” For his part, McInnes is primarily concerned about earning a living from his farm. “(You can’t simply say) I’m going to get some pigs and plant some trees in the ground and they’re going to make me money.” Although their situation is slightly different, Florent Legault and Debbie Troche, who own 240 acres of land near Elie, Man., are worried about the risks related to starting a small scale farm. Legault grew up on the farm he owns and used to operate a pregnant mare’s urine farm before getting out of the business and selling most of his land eight years ago. The couple, in their mid to late 50s, grow more vegetables in their half acre garden than they can consume. So they are considering an expansion and plan to sell their produce. Last year Legault and Troche took a course at a naturopathic doctor’s clinic and met a community of Manitobans who want to eat organic or naturally produced fruit, vegetables, grains and meat. From that experience, Legault realized it might be possible to start a small farm business, producing veggies, poultry or pork. “I never thought there would be the possibility of farming small. My mentality has been bigger,” he said. “Now I’m looking a this and thinking if we could do it on a smaller scale … (maybe) we could stay farming until an older age.” But Legault and Troche aren’t sure they want to take a financial risk at this stage in their lives. “We’re not 20 years old starting out. We’re getting closer to the retirement age, so how long is your health going to hold out?” asked Troche. “My fear is that I’ve got a nest now.... To start up again I’d have to take my money out of retirement (savings) and it’s the fear of losing that,” Legault added.

Given their fears, Legault and Troche will give the matter more thought before they make a decision. Askholm is also taking a thoughtful, go slow approach, because she would like to start a farm several years down the road. “Five years is what I tell myself right now. Maybe in five years I’ll still be saying that.”

ANGIONEUROTIC OEDEMA | SWELLING OF EXTREMITIES

Swelling in face could be allergy to iron supplement HEALTH CLINIC

abnormally heavy periods and she was severely anemic. She is taking iron pills to build up her blood. Can she be allergic to the iron? What causes the oedema?

A: CLARE ROWSON, MD

My niece, who is 38, has swelling of her face and cheeks, which her doctor says is angioneurotic oedema. She had a dilation and curettage (D and C) procedure recently for

Angioneurotic oedema is a type of swelling of the face or the extremities caused by fluid collecting between the cells under the skin. This gives a puffy, swollen appearance. Most cases are due to allergies, but occasionally it can be a hereditary condition where the person lacks a specific protein known as C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH).

There is another type of oedema, known as pitting oedema, which often affects the lower limbs rather than the face. When you press on the swollen area, it leaves a indentation or pit. This may be due to a number of medical conditions, most commonly heart failure, but I am sure your niece’s doctor has already ruled this out. Sometimes a person with angioneurotic oedema ends up in the emergency department because of swelling of the airways, which makes it difficult to breathe. An artificial airway tube may need to be inserted until the swelling goes down.

Occasionally, the fluid may collect in the abdomen, sometimes leading to severe pain. This may be incorrectly diagnosed as acute appendicitis. If it is caused by an allergy, antihistamines or sometimes epinephrine (adrenaline) are needed. Corticosteroids may be given in severe or intractable cases. Unfortunately, these medications do not work in the case of hereditary angioneurotic oedema. Nothing can be done except keep the patient comfortable until the swelling goes away on its own. Research is being conducted on making artificial C1INH in the labo-

ratory, but it is not available yet. The iron your niece is taking can certainly cause allergic swelling as you describe. Injections of iron are well known to do this. A small test dose is often given first to see if a person reacts badly. I expect your niece’s doctor will have suggested discontinuing the iron, even though she is anemic. She will eventually build up red blood cells naturally now that the cause of the abnormal bleeding has been eliminated. It will just take a little longer.

REWARD SYSTEM | PUNISHMENT VERSUS REWARD

Reward system teaches children value of work SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

My friends tell me that I can get my eight-year-old son to co-operate more if I reward him for what he does rather than punish access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

him for what he does not do. But that doesn’t work. I told my son that I would buy tickets for him and a friend to go to a junior hockey game if he cleaned his room every day for a week. He didn’t do it. After the third day he was back to his old sloppy self. I did not buy his tickets and he was really disappointed, but a deal is a deal and it seems to me the reward system did not work for us. What do you think?

Reward systems work, but they need to be more carefully

constructed than what you were able to do when you thought about the hockey tickets. Rather than getting your son tickets for the game, give him a star for each day that he makes his bed and puts away his dirty laundry. At the end of the week, you and he can count the number of stars he has earned. The stars have purchasing power. If he collected seven stars, he can buy from you two tickets to take a friend to a hockey game. If he has earned only six stars, or maybe five, he can purchase something of lesser value.

Perhaps he can rent a movie, or get extra time playing video games. Before you start the reward system, you both need to sit down and list what he can get for however many stars he earns. Make sure he is able to purchase something regardless of how many stars he earns, even if he has only managed to get one star that week. He needs to know what he has to do to earn a star and what he can expect from his collection of stars. Reward systems work, and you will be pleasantly surprised by the results when you use them properly.

However, reward systems also have a fatigue factor. They lose their effectiveness fairly quickly. After your son has gotten into the habit of making his bed you can discuss other chores he can do to earn rewards. Your long-range goal is to get him to help around the house while making money. It will help him grow and develop and learn skills, including those that will get him employed down the road. Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan.

ON THE FARM | CATTLE PRODUCERS

Family farm paves way for next generation Sustainability | Family adopts environmentally friendly farming BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BIGGAR, Sask. — Sustainability is a recurring theme when Leam, Crystal and Nathan Craig gather around the kitchen table each week to toss around ideas about the future of the family farm. The Craig family settled in the Biggar area nearly a century ago when Leam’s grandfather arrived from Ireland and homesteaded on a quarter section. Leam’s father was the second generation of Craigs to farm in the area, followed by Leam and his wife, Crystal. Today, Nathan, one of Leam and Crystal’s four children, also has a significant stake in the operation. About 10 years ago, he bought land and a yard site from a retiring neighbour and started his own beef herd, which has been managed along with his parents’ animals. Now 30, Nathan is in line to take over the entire operation in the next few years. Together, the three have been gradually executing a farm succession plan that will ensure a smooth transition. With four generations already invested in the community and farming industry, the Craigs have come to view sustainability as an important consideration. A healthy, sustainable operation will ensure that the farm is profitable for many years and that it is around for future generations. “I think today, our farm is more sustainable than it’s ever been,” says Leam. “I think we’ve got a lot healthier farm now than we’ve ever had.” Once full-time grain producers, the Craigs steered their farm in a new direction in the late 1990s when they decided

Leam, left, Crystal and Nathan Craig follow holistic management on their cattle operation, including land and water use. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTO to convert some cropland to grass. At the time, the area was suffering through a severe drought and the returns from growing grain were dismal. Leam remembers the farm’s annual expenditures on fuel, fertilizer, chemicals, machinery and labour and likens grain production to a high-stakes poker game. Profits were likely in a good year, but big losses seemed almost inevitable in bad years.

“We probably could have stick handled through it, but if it had ever happened back to back or three years out of four, we would not have been in good shape,” adds Leam. At first, the least productive and most environmentally sensitive land was sown to grass. The family began populating the farm with beef cattle in 2000, and by early 2003, weeks before BSE was found in Canada, Nathan bought his own herd and took up residence just

a few kilometres away. By 2008, the farm’s entire land base had been converted to grass. For Nathan, the first few years in beef production required resilience and determination. “It was a humble beginning,” he says with a laugh. “I think I bought my cows and they announced 30 days later that BSE (hit).… It’s just the way things go.” Today, the family runs 340 cows on 3,500 acres. Calves stay on the farm

for roughly a year and are marketed as yearlings. There are more than 600 animals to feed in a typical winter. Bale grazing reduces the workload, especially in a mild winter like 2011-12. In the summer, rotational grazing occurs on 40 acre paddocks. Sixty percent of the land is typically used for summer grazing while the rest produces baled hay. Now well established in the beef industry, the Craigs agree that that they will likely never convert back to grain production. Among other benefits, grass production allows the family to manage the farm’s resources in a sustainable manner. The Craigs already use elements of wind and solar technology, and Leam would like to see if alternative energy can be used to a greater degree. Holistic management has also emerged as a defining element of the family’s operation since the Craigs took their first holistic resource management course 10 years ago. The course encouraged the family to take a wide-angle view of their goals and reconsider all aspects of the farming operation, including land and water use, the farm’s environmental footprint, quality of life and the family’s contributions to their local community. As for the future of the farm, Nathan is looking forward to carrying on the family tradition and is firmly subscribed to the belief that bigger is not always better. Quality of life and a sense of community are every bit as important as size and profitability, he says. “There is that sense of community … where you can get together and help process a guy’s cattle and drink a beer at the end of the day and you don’t expect a paycheque,” Nathan says. “There is that nice sense of community still, but I think with some of these larger farms that are coming on, nobody has time for anyone any more.” access=subscriber section=farmliving,crops,news
