Canadian Wheat Board officials have unveiled details farmers and t h e g r a i n i n d u s t r y h av e b e e n clamouring for. Six contracts will be available from the CWB by the end of this month. At the first of 21 producer meetings scheduled across Western Canada, CWB officials outlined details of two pool contracts, three cash contracts and a malting barley contract all available for sign-up by the end of March. The harvest pool, with a sign-up deadline of October 2012, and the early delivery pool, with a September 2012 deadline, are available for 12 grades of Canada Western Red Spring, five grades of Canada Western Amber Durum, one grade of Canada Prairie Spring Red, two grades of Canada Western Red Winter and two-row malting barley.

Viter ra In c. rema i n e d c l o se mouthed March 12 as its share prices soared and rumours swirled about a possible takeover by Swiss giant Glencore. Glencore International Plc is the world’s largest publicly traded commodities supplier. Its name emerged most often as media outlets and others speculated on who had made the play for Canada’s largest grain handler. Trading of Viterra stock in Toronto was briefly halted March 9 while the company issued a statement. “In view of market activity in Viterra’s shares, the company acknowledges it has received expressions of interest from third parties,” the statement said. “There can be no assurance that any agreement or transaction will result.” More than 15 million shares traded March 9, up significantly from the usual average of 789,000. Shares closed at $13.58, up from $10.98 the previous day. The price continued to climb March 12 and closed at $14.45. The volume was an extraordinary 25.8 million shares. Speculation grew over the weekend as a British newspaper reported that Glencore had offered an unsolicited bid of $5.5 billion. Others suggested Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Agrium and others could be involved. None of the companies have commented. Glencore held talks with Louis Dreyfus last year, but they didn’t result in a deal. “Glencore clearly want to fill that hole in their portfolio,” said an unnamed source in a story from Reuters News Agency.

Rumours swirl on sale “When things didn’t seem to be going well with Dreyfus, they had to look around.” Taking over Viterra would give Glencore access to Canadian crops, particularly those that will no longer be under the monopoly control of the CWB. Glencore and Viterra have been rumoured suitors for Gavilon, an American energy and grains trader, although Viterra chief executive officer Mayo Schmidt would not comment on that possibility during a March 8 conference call to announce first quarter results. Should an actual takeover bid be tendered, it would have to pass a federal government review under the same law that prevented BHP Billiton from taking over Potash Corp. in 2010. In Ottawa, NDP agriculture critic Pat Martin said any takeover must be in the best interests of Canadians. “I cannot imagine any upside to losing our domestic control over grain production and grain marketing,” he said during question period in the House of Commons. “Will (the government) agree to intervene if it cannot be clearly demonstrated that this is in the best interests of grain producers and the general public for their food security and their domestic control over our food supply?” Industry minister Christian Paradis, who is also minister of state for agriculture, said the government welcomes foreign investment. “Unlike the opposition, our government understands the importance of attracting foreign investment to our economy,” he replied. “Foreign investment helps Canadian companies to grow and innovate and provides new opportunities to connect our firms to the world.” Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said he would not speculate on anything related to Viterra. Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall told reporters March 12 he had briefly spoken to Viterra management but was offered “nothing more than anyone could have gleaned from reading the same business publications.” He said the province would study a proposed takeover in the same way it studied the potash takeover bid. “If there is to be a takeover, we would undertake the same very deliberative, very thorough analysis of the takeover and the measure we would use before coming to any conclusions, before making a recommendation to the federal government, is is this a net benefit to Canada and to the people of Saskatchewan, period?” Wall said the grain handling business isn’t a strategic resource in the way that potash is, but the NDP

The futures first and basis first cash contracts begin this month for CWRS, CWRW and CPSR. There is also a deferred delivery cash contract for four wheat classes, two-row malting barley and feed barley, with a 30-day window. A two-row malting barley production contract is available from March until harvest. “It’s really like starting a new business in a lot of ways,” said CWB marketing vice-president Gord Flaten. However, unlike most new businesses, the CWB starts with “relationship capital” with customers, marketing expertise, a strong capital base, a government guarantee on borrowings and guaranteed initial and final payments of price pools. Changes in legislation should make it possible to adjust payments more quickly than in the past, Flaten said. The two new pools will be first come, first served. There will be no series sign-ups and no contract calls. Producers can sign up directly through the CWB or go to one of its agents. As of March 6, Cargill was the CWB’s only grain-handling partner or agent on record, but Flaten said deals are in the works with other handlers. “We are going to have agreements with other grain companies, and particularly for the pool contracts, our expectation is that all or certainly most of the companies will be offering these contracts.” Producers who sign up for one of the pools through an agent grain handler have the option of committing delivery at that grain handler or waiting to decide on a handler later. “Our contracts will not commit you to dealing with one company,” said Flaten. New to the mix is an early delivery pool that will market grain from harvest through Jan. 31 and then issue final payments. Flaten said the CWB expects this pool to fill quickly. However, producers will have to

consider whether they think the average grain price for the year will be better than the price available between September and January. Producers’ ability to deal on freight and handling charges with a grain company will also affect their decision to participate in the early delivery pool. The harvest pool will be managed as pools have in the past, with a signup deadline at the end of October for guaranteed delivery by July 31, 2013. Participants in both pools will have to indicate at sign-up what grade they would normally expect to deliver. Flaten said the indication carries no commitment but will allow the CWB to plan its sales. If the indicated grade doesn’t prove out, producers can switch the grade or back out of the deal at no cost if they inform the CWB before the deadline. Producers can also switch to a cash contract before the deadline. Fees will be associated with that. Flaten said the CWB pool contracts offer flexibility in grade, choice of grain handling company and timing of delivery. The three cash contracts are futures first, basis first and deferred delivery. Flaten said the CWB will handle feed barley, winter wheat and other smaller volume product through deferred delivery. Grades on that contract must be selected at sign-up. Futures first and basis first are available for CWRS, CWRW and CPSR. Producers at last week’s meeting in Lethbridge asked why grain handlers would offer a CWB cash contract when they are also cash buying. “We are going to have some sales that that company doesn’t have, at certain periods of time,” said Flaten. CWB cash contracts will provide price and delivery certainty and a wide range of grades and will price futures and basis separately, he added. Futures first offers a range of delivery choices, and there are no brokerage fees to pay on either it or basis first.

FEDERAL BUDGET | AGRICULTURE

Ritz defends budget cuts ‘Baseline’ numbers will change | Strong prices should lessen supports BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz says the $153 million in cuts to Agriculture Canada’s budget that were outlined in spending estimates tabled in Parliament are not what they seem. He told the House of Commons agriculture committee March 12 that the cuts outlined for the 2012-13 fiscal year beginning April 1 are baseline numbers that will change as the year progresses and needs are known. They are not firm plans for spending reductions but departmental guesses on what will be needed in a year yet to unfold. And a $118 million projected reduction in business risk manage-

ment spending reflects a government assumption that good agricultural prices will mean farmers should not need program support. “Farmers are making their income from the market now and that is great,” Ritz told MPs. “There is no demand on BRM right now.” However, the programs are there by law to help if markets turn or disasters happen. He said the projected spending estimates tabled in Parliament in early March are benchmarks that will change. The March 29 budget planned by finance minister Jim Flaherty will indicate the government’s intentions on cuts to deal with the deficit. Ritz also disputed opposition complaints that projected Canadian

Food Inspection Agency spending cuts next year of $30 million mean a reduction in food safety. He suggested the budget will show strong support for food safety policies. The budget cuts flow from the end of three-year enhanced inspection programs that followed the 2008 listeriosis crisis that killed more than 20 people. Opposition critics argue that enhanced inspection continues to be needed. Ritz said CFIA inspectors have increased by 733 under the Conservatives during the past six years and the ratio between administrative staff and inspection staff is now one-to-one compared to as much as two-to-one in favour of administrative and office staff under earlier governments. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CWB | MARKETING

To pool or not to pool: that is the question at producer meetings BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Why pool commodities in an open market? That was the first question CWB marketing vice-president Gord Flaten answered at a producer meeting March 6 to explain contract offerings. “Going into a pool gives you access to sales over the entire pooling period, which could be a year for the

harvest pool and five months for the early delivery pool,” he said. “ You’re not trying to pick and choose.… The pool can do that for you.” He said the pool also gives producers access to an experienced marketing team, involves a simple contract and allows producers to keep the profits from their grain. For those uninterested in pooling their entire crop, the pool can still be useful.

“Even if you’re not inclined to pool very much, it can be a good benchmark for the rest of your marketing portfolio,” Flaten said. Rodney Volk, a farmer from Burdett, Alta., said he was pleasantly surprised by the CWB contract offerings. “It’s more optimistic than I expected. I had strong doubts about the wheat board’s ability to sell grain without having any infrastructure in place, but it sounds like they’ve dealt with that.”

Flaten said the CWB plans to make deals with most if not all major grain companies and may consider buying or leasing facilities. Volk said he is more likely to use cash contracts from grain companies but sees value in pooling some crop as a type of insurance. LeRon Torrie, a farmer from Grassy Lake, Alta., said he also liked that idea. “We won’t pool everything. We will

pool some,” he said of his 3,000 acre operation. The CWB has a deal with Cargill to handle grain, but the nearest Cargill facility is one hour away for Torrie. He is hoping a deal is struck with Viterra, which has a facility near his farm. “Probably all the major players will come on board,” he said. “If they don’t, that will really skew things and add some complications.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Maple Leaf gets federal funds for hog plant reno BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A federal investment of $4.5 million will help Maple Leaf Foods upgrade its 13-year-old hog plant in Brandon. The investment will go toward several improvements at the plant, including the purchase and installation of new line processing machinery, packaging equipment and heat

recovery technology. “Upgrades to its Manitoba facilities will help Maple Leaf boost productivity and production capacity to fill new market opportunities, which in turn will increase the demand for producers’ high-quality swine,” said Vic Toews, minister of public safety and regional minister for Manitoba. The announcement follows a deci-

sion last fall by Maple Leaf Foods to invest $85 million to upgrade its plant in St. Boniface, an industrial area in southeast Winnipeg. “Maple Leaf Foods’ total employment in Manitoba will soon grow to approximately 4,000. Our Brandon and Winnipeg plants are vital to a healthy hog and production sector in the province,” said Doug Dodds, chief strategy officer at Maple Leaf Foods. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Trouble could be brewing south of the border if American wheat isn’t given “mutual and reciprocal” access to the Canadian market. “We are a little concerned about some of the restrictions that still exist for moving wheat north, not that a lot of it will,” said U.S. Wheat Associates president Alan Tracy during an interview at the 2012 Commodity Classic conference. “It’s important that there be a perception of fairness. We don’t want any unattractive border incidents.” He doesn’t anticipate U.S. farmers being upset by the continued trade between Canada and large U.S. millers looking for a specific quality of wheat. That trade has made the U.S. Canada’s largest wheat customer. But there is “some potential for disruption” in the new form of business that will occur when individual Canadian farmers truck their wheat across the border to American elevators. “If we’re going to avoid problems for wheat coming south we want to make sure there is a perception of fairness and a reality of fairness for wheat moving north,” said Tracy. “Historically, there have been some unfortunate incidents at the border where U.S. farmers were waiting in line behind Canadian trucks and things got ugly. We’d like to avoid that.” U.S. Wheat Associates and the National Association of Wheat Growers each passed a resolution calling for an open border with Canada. The two groups said Canada’s narrow wheat class variety eligibility lists prevent most of the varieties grown in the U.S. from being sold as top grade milling wheat. They are instead placed in the highly discounted general purpose wheat category. Only one of the major spring wheat varieties grown in North Dakota is on the list to be sold as Canada Western Red Spring wheat. “That is too restrictive,” said Tracy. He wants to see something in place by Aug. 1 that allows U.S. farmers to deliver wheat into Canada without price penalty. That would help calm potential border tension and strengthen the U.S. Wheat Associates’ ability to quickly stop ugly incidents. Tracy and U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack met with Canadian agriculture minister Gerry Ritz at the end of February to impress upon him that the variety registration issue is a major bone of contention with U.S. growers. “We didn’t get any specific commit-

ments out of him,” said Tracy. Ritz told reporters during a Feb. 24 conference call from Washington, D.C., that Canada is working on changes to the grading system that will make Canada’s system “more in parallel” with the United States. “Certainly we don’t want to dilute our system, but we do want to make it available for some of these newer varieties to come up from the U.S. that are giving us millability out of utility wheats,” he said. Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association, doesn’t think Canada should rush into changing its wheat classification system. “We need to gain some experience in an open market to see if there really are regulatory barriers to allowing this commerce to take place between Canada and the U.S.,” he said. Sobkowich said it will take time to determine how economics bump up against regulations in the open market. “I’m not sure we understand that well enough to undertake a complete and deep review of it at this point in time.” Sobkowich said it is possible for Canadian grain companies to source and sell U.S. milling quality wheat to customers based on specifications as long as that wheat is properly segregated. “If the value is there, the Canadian system can keep it segregated.” However, producer deliveries from the U.S. will be subject to the variety eligibility classification system. Sobkowich doesn’t think that is the tinderbox issue portrayed by Tracy. “I think that’s a pretty huge leap to say that there’s going to be tension and problems. We’re talking about a relatively low volume of grain here,” he said. Tracy would like to see Canada adopt a grading system based on tests for quality parameters. That would resolve the problem of U.S. wheat varieties being dumped into the general purpose category. “Those wheats have value and they should not be in effect classified as feed wheat in terms of pricing,” he said.

AGRONOMY | WEEDS

Kochia threat looms large for western growers Herbicide resistant kochia | Weed can’t be contained but can be slowed with proper control methods BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FOREMOST, Alta. — It will be crucial in the coming growing season for western Canadian farmers to manage herbicide resistant kochia before it becomes widespread. At two March 8 meetings in Milk River, Alta., and Foremost, Alta., near where the first glyphosate resistant kochia was found last fall, researchers told farmers to hit the weed hard and fast to slow weed spread. It’s not just a southern Alberta problem, said Agriculture Canada weed researchers Bob Blackshaw and Hugh Beckie. Kochia can develop resistance anywhere there is wide use of glyphosate. Kochia emerges early in the season, giving farmers an opportunity to kill it with group 4 and 14 herbicides in preseeding burn-off. It also tends to mature late, providing another opportunity for control before it sets seed. “It’s too late to contain it, certainly,” Beckie told Foremost area farmers. “The best thing we can do is slow down the rate of spread. There are management options there to control it, but we will need a co-ordinated approach.” He advocated an “urgent call to action,” which would include notifying farmers, municipalities, railways and oil and gas companies about the problem and the importance of using tank mixes for weed control rather than straight glyphosate. Glyphosate is widely used in oil and

gas sites because it doesn’t persist in the soil. That and the fact that it is relatively inexpensive has increased its use by industrial users as well as farmers, said Blackshaw. He noted that in fields where the resistant weeds were first found, farmers had used straight glyphosate for their chem-fallow for the last four or five years. “The worst thing you can do is use glyphosate year after year,” said Beckie. He encouraged farmers to vary their herbicides from year to year and use tank mixes of chemicals with different modes of action. Linda Hall, professor and agricultural researcher at the University of Alberta, said surveys have shown kochia is the fourth most abundant weed in this region and is abundant across the Prairies. It was one of the first weeds to develop Group 2 resistance, and has also become resistant to Group 4 chemicals in the United States. Kochia has a great ability to outcross through pollen and then spread its thousands of seeds when it becomes a tumbleweed at maturity. “Not only does it matter what happens in your field, but it also matters what happens in your neighbour’s field,” said Hall. “We’re probably not going to be able to stop it.” However, action early in the growing season will pay dividends, and her research shows most kochia emerges before crops do. “That gives you an opportunity to control these prior to seeding, with

If you could get rid of 60 percent of your population before you seed, and then you seed a competitive crop, now you can get the power of the crop working for you.” Her research also shows that most kochia comes from seed spread in the previous year. It has limited seed dormancy, so controlling it well in one season will limit weed numbers in the following year. Hall said kochia seed is still green at harvest in southern Alberta in four out

of five years, so prevention of seed set by cutting plants or a post-harvest chemical application can help. After resistant kochia was found in three chem-fallow fields in the Warner, Alta., area last year, Beckie surveyed 50 sites within a 20-kilometre radius of those fields. “The bad news is, we did find additional sites. We did confirm at least six additional fields with glyphosate resistant kochia.” Most of the infected fields were to

the east or northeast of the initially confirmed fields, reflecting prevailing wind direction. A wider survey is planned in southern Alberta this year to get a better sense of how widespread the resistant kochia may be, Beckie said. Field trials with herbicides will also be conducted. Surveys will be done in Saskatchewan and Manitoba next year. The results, combined with other research, may allow scientists to make recommendations on best management practices for control. Sean Dilk, technical development manager for Monsanto, said kochia has spread rapidly in Kansas, where the first resistant strain was found in 2007. It is now found throughout western Kansas, eastern Colorado and in Nebraska. There are also suspect cases in North and South Dakota and Montana. “They (U.S. researchers) said take it seriously and hit it hard. Use all the tools that you have available in your toolbox to stay on top of this weed.” He reminded farmers to also consider cultural practices for weed control, such as tillage, crop rotation, increased seeding rates and competitive crops. A website at www.weedtool.com allows farmers to gauge their risk of herbicide resistant weeds. Beckie and Blackshaw also encouraged farmers to watch their fields for signs of the weed and inform researchers if they suspect herbicide resistance. Monsanto has set up a toll-free line for reports at 800-667-4944.

RAILWAY | NEGOTIATIONS

Shippers frustrated at lack of rail service agreements BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Negotiations to work out a system of binding level-of-service agreements between railways and shippers are faltering because railways refuse to compromise, say shipper sources. The Conservative government continues to promise legislation that will require service agreements between the two sides that are enforceable with penalties for non-compliance, but a bill will likely not appear until at least autumn, two years after a federal panel made the recommendation. In that event, it would likely not be law until next year. In late 2010, a rail service review

panel report commissioned by the government noted a poor railway service record, partly because of a market imbalance between railways and shippers. It recommended binding level-of-service agreements backed up by legislation that could enforce penalties for lack of performance on either side. Ottawa then appointed former Alberta treasurer Jim Dinning to facilitate a deal between the two sides while promising legislation. Dinning’s mandate expires in May and a shipper representative said last week that little progress has been made. “There is a high degree of frustration from the shipper community that the railways are not willing to consider service level agreements

that, with certain elements outlined in the final report, should be mandatory,” he said. “There is frustration that the railways are not prepared to make any movement at all.” On March 6 in the House of Commons, Saskatchewan Liberal Ralph Goodale complained that the stalemate means grain shippers continue to receive poor service with no guarantees of improvement. He demanded that legislation be tabled by the time Parliament rises in June so it can be examined over the summer and debate begin in early autumn. In a later interview, Goodale said forcing railways to agree to service terms with shippers is more important this year because the CWB is losing its

marketing monopoly and its clout to demand better rail service. “The only solution here is a legislated solution,” he said. “The railways are not going to move unless a law is passed telling them because they hold all the cards and have had for a very long time.” He said the CWB had the clout to challenge the railways and win several hundred million dollars in compensation. A grain company would be reluctant to challenge the carrier for fear of retaliation, he said. Transport minister Denis Lebel made no timing promise but reiterated an earlier promise that legislation will be produced. He suggested it would not be written until Dinning is finished his efforts and files a report.

“He has held many meetings with stakeholders,” Lebel said. “The facilitator’s work will inform the legislation that our government is committed to introducing. We will continue and we will deliver the job.” Questioned about the issue March 8 after a speech to the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the railways should be co-operating. A Crop Logistics Group appointed by Ritz to deal with transportation issues in the aftermath of the end of the end of the CWB monopoly is developing “a good roadmap forward,” he said. “It would be unfortunate if the railways did not recognize that.” He said legislation will be approved as a backstop to make sure service agreements are honoured.

Managing durum price volatility Pooling evened out price swings | Futures contracts provide options but are imperfect STORIES BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Don’t be relaxed about marketing durum in the post-CWB monopoly environment, say grain traders and risk managers. Durum prices can move violently, and marketing the crop isn’t always easy. “It’s dangerous. It’s extremely dangerous,” Tom DeSmet of U.S. grain company Cenex Harvest States said during the Grainworld conference in Winnipeg. “I don’t think a lot of people realize how dangerous it is because the CWB has been such a huge part of marketing durum for so long. They’ve taken that risk.” That means farmers need to take durum risk management much more seriously, DeSmet said, which isn’t easy because durum is a small crop with only primitive risk management tools. Marketing advisers say farmers

must realize that the durum prices they saw through the CWB’s pool prices evened out much of the volatile price movements that can send durum prices soaring or crashing in any year. Pooling is a form of averaging prices, so farmers relying on pool prices couldn’t try to pick highs or sell out at sudden lows. Some American farmers, grain companies and processors use the Minneapolis Grain Exchange hard red spring wheat futures contract to hedge durum prices, but many analysts say durum’s indirect relationship to spring wheat prices makes it a poor hedge.

Winnipeg’s ICE Futures Canada has launched a durum contract with much industry support, but it has seen almost no trading. It could also seem a risky hedging option for prairie farmers if it does not pick up trading volume. Cash contracts with elevator companies are often used in the United States, but DeSmet said they also bring real dangers because of price volatility. DeSmet offered a real example of a farmer who contracted durum at $9 per bushel, did not produce the quality needed for the contract’s specifications because of weather

problems in the late summer and had to buy durum at $5 per bu. over the $9 contract price to meet the contract specifications because the market had risen. He eventually received only a net $3 per bu. “The problem wasn’t isolated,” said DeSmet. “It was a huge problem in the industry.” DeSmet said farmers need to keep in close touch with durum buyers so they know what current prices are and when it is possible to move the grain. The price volatility means farmers need to be able to sell when they like the price and not assume those prices will remain. Even if farmers are willing to sell at posted and rumoured prices, their local grain elevator often won’t be able to get cars to move the crop. Combining price and ability to move is a key ability for a durum grower, DeSmet said. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Can farmers use Minneapolis spring wheat futures to hedge prairie durum? Most marketing advisers don’t think so. “There’s very poor correlation. I wouldn’t use it,” said Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications. Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity Research had a similar view. “We didn’t find a good correlation,” he said about work he did a few years ago with another market analysis firm. Anderson and Penner said there are too many years when spring wheat and durum prices move in different directions or at different speeds. Some U.S. farmers use Minneapolis wheat futures to hedge durum, and it’s not a crazy idea, said Rich Nelson of Allendale, Inc. in McHenry, Illinois. “The Minneapolis contract is pretty well the only way to do it,” said Nelson. “It may not be a great, perfect correlation, but it’s probably better than none.” The Minneapolis Grain Exchange’s Joe Victor argued at Grainworld recently that spring wheat futures could work well as a hedge for durum. “It’s not a perfect correlation, but it’s a good correlation,” said Victor, who used charts showing durum and spr ing wheat futures trending together for a number of years. “Show me there’s a convergence problem.” In an interview, Victor said cash Montana prices reflected Minneapolis futures prices, and he said durum and spring wheat were often driven by protein values. Many analysts believe the spring wheat and durum markets are not well connected. Export durum is grown in a tiny area of North America, and few other countries are major exporters. That means a weather event in southwestern Saskatchewan or northwestern North Dakota can devastate world supplies of exportable durum and severely impact prices. As well, world durum purchases are limited to a few major buyers in the Mediterranean region. Anything that has a big impact on the crop growing in Morocco, Algeria or Tunisia could have a major influence on prices. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

New drought-tolerant corn ready for market this spring

Seeding decisions approach, solid information needed MARKET WATCH

Seed technology | Non-GM varieties to be planted across U.S. corn belt BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — New seed technology hitting the market in 2012 should help stabilize U.S. corn yields. Adverse weather has caused two consecutive years of declining yields, leading to extremely tight corn supplies. The long-term trend of rising yields led the U.S. Department of Agriculture to forecast the 2012 yield will be 164 bushels, but in 2011 the average was only 147.2 bu. per acre and in 2010 it was 152.8. Higher yields are needed to meet growing demand and rebuild stocks that are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Help appears to be on the way. Pioneer Hi-Bred anticipates its Optimum AQUAmax non-genetically modified drought tolerant corn will be planted on three million acres in the western corn belt in 2012. “That (acreage) will rapidly expand over the coming years,” Monica Patterson, senior marketing manager of technology launch with Pioneer, said during an interview at the 2012 Commodity Classic conference in Nashville. The new drought tolerant hybrids could help the corn industry achieve the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s ambitious 164 bu. per acre average yield projection for the 2012-13 crop, an 11 percent increase over this year’s estimated average. Terry Vinduska, a grower from central Kansas, believes Pioneer’s drought tolerant technology will increase corn supply in the United States. “It will help stabilize those dryland corn yields,” he said. Vinduska planted small amounts of four of Pioneer’s new drought tolerant hybrids on his farm last year. The Optimum AQUAmax hybrids delivered five to 15 bu. per acre more than the non-drought tolerant hybrids on his farm. “That’s going to allow me to raise a more consistent yielding crop if the weather conditions dip slightly, so it will allow us to be a more consistent

Optimum AQUAmax performed admirably in large-scale, on-farm field trials in 2011, showing an average 7.1 percent yield advantage over grower-selected checks in 700 trials in water-limited environments. That amounted to about a 10 bu. per acre yield increase in extreme drought stressed areas of the U.S. “That’s pretty significant right now with grain prices where they are,” said Patterson. Not only did Optimum AQUAmax provide protection in areas where drought pushed average yields below 150 bu. per acre, but it also delivered a 3.5 percent top-end yield advantage over grower-selected checks in more than 7,000 comparisons under more favourable growing conditions where yields were more than 200 bu. per acre. Pioneer was the first to the market with drought tolerant corn, but the competition is close on its heels. On-farm trials of Monsanto’s genetically modified DroughtGard hybrids will take place with 250 growers on 10,000 acres across the western Great Plains in 2012, from Texas to South Dakota. Results of regulated small plot trials show that DroughtGard delivers up

to a 10 bu. per acre reduction in loss compared to commodity corn. “We’re seeing really promising results from the standpoint of overall tolerance to drought,” said Mark Edge, DroughtGard marketing lead with Monsanto. He looks forward to seeing how the new hybrids perform in farmer field trials this year. “To be honest with you, testing in small plots gets us only so far when it’s dealing with an issue like drought.” The company plans to move into the corn market in a measured way with its new product, focusing first on the western Great Plains, where a “relatively small acreage” will be planted when the product is commercially launched next year. “Out in the western Great Plains, there is more and more concern about the availability of water,” said Edge. Patterson said Pioneer is testing its Optimum AQUAmax corn in Ontario this year. It can be used across Pioneer’s global breeding program because it is non-GM. “We can certainly bring that technology into our breeding programs in Western Canada and hopefully have solutions available for growers in the future,” she said. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

After a couple of weeks of slower crushing in late February and early March, Canadian oilseed processors again put the pedal to the metal last week. Exports continue strong. Agriculture Canada sees this year’s exports and domestic processing totalling 14.6 million tonnes and carryout stocks of 1.1 million tonnes. However, if the current pace of domestic and export disappearance of a little more than 300,000 tonnes per week continued to the end of the crop year, it would mean that the Agriculture Canada disappearance forecast would be short by about a million tonnes. A combination of three things could happen: • canola prices rise to ration demand • year end stocks fall below a million tonnes • last year’s crop might have been larger than Statistics Canada’s 2011 production figure, forcing an upward revision How small will South American production be? The U.S. Department of Agriculture cut global soybean production to 445.7 million tonnes last week, down 6.7 million from last month because of reduced South American production. Brazilian soybean production was forecast at 68.5 million tonnes, down 3.5 million, Argentina’s production was cut 1.5 million tonnes to 46.5 million and Paraguay’s production was pegged at five million tonnes, down 1.4 million. The Brazilian and Argentinian numbers were slightly lower than the

average of traders’ expectations ahead of the USDA report. However, the momentum the news generated was lessened by the fact that the USDA does not see the cuts to South American production generating extra business for the U.S. The USDA’s cuts bring its numbers into line with private forecasters. The USDA held its Argentinian corn production forecast at 22 million tonnes and raised its Brazilian outlook by one million tonnes to 62 million tonnes. Last month’s rain lessened the effect of the earlier drought in South America. Some private forecasts put the Argentinian corn crop at about one million tonnes fewer than the USDA. Argentina’s government puts a cap on corn exports and will review the crop situation in April before adding to the export allocation. It has already allocated 7.5 million tonnes of corn exports, but USDA expects that exports could total 14 million tonnes. If Argentina restricts corn exports to less than 14 million, it would turn business toward the United States, supporting corn prices. China concedes it will buy more soybeans in the coming year, and officials in the northeastern corn and soybean growing areas say acreage will likely shift toward corn and away from soybeans. Chinese officials say the country is maintaining its near self-sufficiency in corn, and its import needs will be modest. However, there is lots of talk in the market that China will buy more corn this year. Private traders say Chinese corn production figures are exaggerated and feed mills in the country say it would be much cheaper to import offshore corn than to buy Chinese corn. What’s in store for spring weather? The official U.S. weather service outlook is for the current La Nina to weaken into a neutral phase this spring. However, some analysis indicates it could shift directly into an El Nino. If it does, there could be a trend toward dryness in the western part of the U.S. and up into the Canadian Prairies. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

MARKETS

Fed cattle prices fell on lower beef prices, weaker demand and worries that a strong U.S. currency would slow exports. The strong loonie weighed on Canadian prices. Fed steers averaged $114.83 per hundredweight, down 94 cents, and heifers were $115.07, down 26 cents. Rail trade was generally 50 cents-$3 lower at $193-$194 per cwt. delivered. Local packer interest was light, but American packer interest helped support prices. Show lists are still dominated by yearlings, but a few calves are appearing. Cash cattle were again reallocated into contracts or traded on cash to grid deals and five-state averages. Sales volume totalled 12,911 head, down 21 percent from the previous week. The Alberta cash-to-futures basis seasonally narrowed to -$10.59. Local processors have good inventory resulting in long lift times.

will hit the lackluster summer fed market. However, larger feeder heifers rose a little as producers ramp up breeding herds. Special sales pushed auction volume to 39,913 head, up 30 percent from the previous week. Feeder exports to Feb. 25 rose again, climbing 32 percent from the previous week to 4,880 head. If the United States grows a large corn crop this year, as expected, American feedlots might gain a production advantage and more Canadian calves might head to the U.S. Exports are already up 40 percent over last year at this time. Feeder prices at the top end are facing resistance because feeding margins don’t pencil out.

BEEF PRICES RETREAT Seasonally soft beef demand pressured U.S. beef cutouts lower. Prices

will likely not see significant improvement until after Easter. U.S. Choice cutouts for 600-900 pounds were $193.84 per cwt. US March 9, down from $198.07 March 2. Select was $193.36, down from 193.80. The Montreal wholesale market for delivery this week was $1 higher at $214-$216 Cdn. Weekly Canadian cutouts to March 2 saw AAA values rise $1.10 and AA climb $2.08. Canadian fed slaughter for the same week was 14 percent larger with a kill of 45,809 head.

More market information, analysis and statistics are available by becoming a Canfax subscriber by calling 403275-5110 or at www.canfax.ca.

HOG PRICES EDGE HIGHER U.S. packer margins were negative last week on slow retail demand. Pork prices are high, making it hard for packers to pressure the market higher. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs were $65.50 US per hundredweight March 9, up from $64 the previous week. U.S. pork carcass cut-out value spent the early part of the week steady but fell late to $83.53 March 9, down from $85.13 March 2. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.13 million, down from 2.15 million the previous week.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable

weight range were $3.65-$3.90 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.60-$3.90. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.40-$2.60. In the live market, heifers born in 2011 were $2-$2.50 and bulls were $2.25-$2.75. Feeder bulls and heifers born in 2010 were $2-$2.10.

LAMBS STEADY TO STRONG Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 569 sheep and lambs and 58 goats traded March 5. All well-finished lambs sold steady to stronger.

MARKETS | RISK MANAGEMENT

ICE offers hedge on durum SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ICE Futures Canada’s new durum contract has the support of grain marketer Toepfer Canada. Company president Lawrence Yakielashek said he hopes other grain companies will join his using the contract to hedge risk, but added many of Toepfer’s buyers won’t likely use it because they are cash traders. ICE chief executive officer Brad Vannan said farmers, grain companies and processors all encouraged ICE to launch a durum contract because of the unique supply and demand fundamentals for the crop. “They really wanted it,” he said. It might not be trading much yet, but Vannan said more tangible interest should appear once the new crop year is close. Yakielashek echoed that sentiment, saying he wasn’t worried about present low volumes. Vannan acknowledged that spring wheat futures could be used to hedge durum in some circumstances, such as including it in a contract. However, he said most of the durum industry wants a hedging tool that is specific to durum and doesn’t have a built-in class basis risk. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

CENSORSHIP | SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

CRAIG’S VIEW

Canada’s reputation hurt by PM’s information control

chorus of journalistic and commentators’ voices is rising against the Stephen Harper government’s apparent determination to keep a cone of silence over its scientists. Perhaps the most humorous run at Harper’s policy to prevent scientists from speaking publicly about their research was broadcast recently on the Rick Mercer Report. Mercer lampooned the policy by inventing PMO Scientist Pest Control and mock-spraying the unfortunate researchers with “anti-scientist dogma goo.” The goo stops the scientists in their tracks, before they can offer any insights on their findings. The policy has not escaped notice overseas. In the same week as the Mercer clip, the scientific journal Nature, based in the United Kingdom, took a run at the government’s media-unfriendly protocols. “Canada’s generally positive foreign reputation as a progressive, scientific nation masks some startlingly poor behaviour,” said the editorial. “The way forward is clear: it is time for the Canadian government to set its scientists free.” It also said the Harper government’s policies “reveal a confused and Byzantine approach to the press, prioritizing message control and showing little understanding of the importance of the free flow of scientific knowledge.” Nature noted that one case of scientist muzzling involved an Environment Canada researcher prevented from discussing a historically large Arctic ozone hole. In another case, a geologist was not allowed to talk about a 13,000-year-old flood. Agricultural scientists are not faring much better. At The Western Producer, a reporter recently contacted a scientist about agricultural research. There were no attenuating policy questions; it was simply a matter of trying to get information about the research, which we felt would have been of interest to farmers. The scientist, to his credit, spent a week and a half seeking approval for the interview, which in fairness, he did finally

receive. Also in fairness, WP reporters are occasionally successful in obtaining comment from scientists without time delays and message vetting from media relations officers. Unfortunately, however, controlling the message has increasingly become part of government and corporate policy in recent years. Harper has certainly taken control since forming a minority government in 2006, and despite considerable backlash, has not loosened his grip on the reins. This is completely inappropriate in the case of message-managing Canada’s scientists. Corporate information is proprietary, and while extensive controls over messaging are frustrating, it’s hard to argue with private directives. But government scientists are publicly paid and generally trying to contribute to the public good. When public money is spent for public purposes, the public should know about it. It’s that simple. Furthermore, it is the scientist exploring an avenue of crop development or disease eradication who understands his or her work the best. That person, and not a communications staff person, should be the one answering media questions about the research without interference. Perhaps the Harper government views research as an aspect of policy, but how could fusarium, for instance, be a policy matter? Fusarium is bad, research into its eradication is good. If there is progress, why not tell people about it? It’s their right to know. They’ve paid for it. It is also embarrassing that Conservatives are taking this approach while the opposite direction is being taken by other countries, including the United States. Indeed, the Canadian Science Writers’ Association and the World Federation of Science Journalists, among other groups, have sent a letter to Harper asking him to release Canadian scientists from this collective muzzle. We add our voices to theirs.

POLITICS | GOVERNMENT, PRODUCER RELATIONSHIP

Co-operation replaces animosity between government, cattle sector NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

t was a scene that would have been unimaginable 30 years ago, maybe even 20. Then, the cattle lobby saw government as the meddling enemy and government (mainly Liberal) saw the cattle industry as intractably conservative and pro-American. Last week at the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting in Ottawa, agriculture minister Gerry

Ritz and CCA president Travis Toews did everything but hug. Toews heaped praise on Ritz for his support of the industry and relentless trade promotion. Ritz reciprocated by praising the governmentproducer partnership. “The fact that we see industry and government working together is a bonus.” One of the most remarkable stories of Ottawa agriculture politics in the past 30 years has been the evolution of the CCA from a government-isenemy group to government-is-ally. W h e n T h e We s t e r n P r o d u c e r opened its Ottawa bureau in 1980, suspicion between the two sides was rife. Then-agriculture minister Eugene Whelan mused about creating a cattle marketing board, to the industry’s horror.

When the CCA came to town to lobby, they didn’t have an office in the capital and a permanent presence as they do now. May 2003 changed that. BSE was discovered, foreign markets closed, the industry was devastated and the Liberals came through with billions of dollars in help, even if much of it ended up in packer pockets. A working relationship was born — government wasn’t the enemy anymore while Liberals and government came to understand the importance of a healthy cattle sector. The industry even went along with (asked for, actually) a ‘legacy fund’ of public dollars to help it rebuild foreign markets. Industry leaders of the 1970s and early 1980s would have rolled their

eyes and ground their teeth at the prospect of becoming like the grain industry — a hand-out crowd. Fast forward to 2012 and we find a cattle industry totally in sync with the Conservative government, working with government, seeing government as a friend. What happened? Toews says the BSE trauma woke up the industry to the fact that markets do not always work well, that governments can be helpful and necessary in extraordinary circumstances. And government has changed. It concentrates on opening markets and trying to reduce regulatory burden and not in speculating about market interventions. “We think there are distinct roles of government that are important to our sustainability as an industry, that

we cannot do it alone, and I think the reason we have had some success (with this government) is we have a very similar viewpoint of where roles of government begin and end and where responsibility of industry and producers to accept responsibility for their own decisions begins,” Toews said last week. Perhaps the CCA has mellowed, recognizing that sometimes government and taxpayer support is needed. Perhaps government ethos has moved on from ‘we know best’ to ‘what do you need?’ Perhaps this is a moment in time that won’t be repeated when a future government takes power. For now, for a longtime Ottawa watcher, the government–CC A entente is astounding.

Animal agriculture in era of food insecurity

When farmers see profit, so does economy

BY MARY BUHR

ccess to food will become more precious and agriculturally productive land w ill be increasingly at a premium as the global population grows by 30 to 40 percent in the next 40 years. Limited access to food will be exacerbated if climate change reduces the amount of productive land in currently arable areas. Some people argue that animal agriculture will have no place in that world, citing competition for plant food sources, production of greenhouse gases, particularly from ruminants, and the need to manage manure. Let’s look at the facts. Animals produce high quality, easily digested protein on which the human omnivore is biologically designed to thrive. They add to biodiversity and provide transportation, labour and companionship. Animal-based, high-value food protein is in increasing demand in geographical areas of improving wealth. Animals also provide non-meat products of high and/or additional value, including milk, fabric, leather, fur, energy, fertilizer, byproducts such as gelatin, lard, vaccines and pet food, and components for cosmetics and the personal grooming industry. Animals can graze on land that cannot efficiently produce plant-based food for human consumption, and they can thrive on non-edible byproducts of human food production, such as canola meal and human food waste.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

Animals provide essential protein to our diets and can be part of a sustainable ecosystem. | However, it is common to feed human-edible grain products to animals. This significantly increases the efficiency of animal meat production per acre, reduces the cost to consumers and provides a reliably high quality product, but also promotes human-animal competition for the same plant products. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane are greenhouse gases naturally produced from domestic animals. Ruminants directly exhale methane, while animal manure, whether stored or spread on the ground, produces N2O. Additional greenhouse gases come from the non-renewable gas, oil and energy used to produce feed and manage the animals. Recent research shows that changing animals’ diets can reduce meth-

ane production by ruminants. Other research hints that we may be able to select animals that naturally produce less methane and develop methods of grazing and land management that would reduce animal emissions of greenhouse gases. Technology to decrease the use of non-renewable fuel and energy is already being developed. The value of animal products and uses cannot be underestimated. Animals represent a normal part of the human omnivore’s diet, provide a wide range of other commodities and are a reliable source of income for Saskatchewan’s people and the provincial economy. They can be a critical part of a sustainable, wellbalanced ecosystem. Our markets, fellow citizens and policy-makers need careful thought

NEW BOOK | ADVICE TO LIVE BY

Saving more key to becoming wealthy farmer HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

hese are good times for grain and beef producers. But in times like these, it’s easy to confuse wants and needs and to overspend. David Chilton’s new book, The Wealthy Barber Returns, was written with wage earners in mind, but the messages will also resonate with farmers. As Chilton notes, it isn’t popular to advise people to spend less. Whether it’s a combine, a fridge, an RV or a kitchen renovation, there’s a tremendous amount of pressure to spend more. And it’s easy to borrow to do it. Producers who can afford it should definitely have some of the finer

things in life. But we should buy for the right reasons. Do we really need that new whatever or are we just trying to impress the relatives and the neighbours? In rural communities, everyone knows your business. If you get a new pickup, tractor or high clearance sprayer, people will notice. Unfortunately, keeping up with the Joneses isn’t a good driver for your business decisions. Whether farm equipment or personal stuff, it isn’t usually long before the novelty of a new purchase wears off. Spending too much can violate the first principle of financial planning, the principle made famous by David Chilton in his first best-selling book — pay yourself first. You probably draw a wage from the farm and maybe you have off-farm income as well. Save 10 percent off the top. It’s relatively painless that way. If you spend first and hope to save the residual, you’ll probably be disappointed. Start putting away money early in life to use the power of compound interest. Maximize your

use of RRSPs and Tax Free Savings Accounts. There are lots of justifications used for not putting away money for retirement, and farmers have a couple of extra excuses: • “All of our money goes into the farm so we don’t buy RRSPs or put money into Tax Free Savings Accounts. The farm will be our retirement income.” • “Farmland has been the best investment you could make in recent years. Beats the heck out of any mutual fund.” There’s some validity in those statements, but if you’re planning to pass the farm to the next generation, having separate retirement income will certainly make it easier to give your son or daughter a good start. The younger generation can’t usually finance the entire farm at full commercial price, at least not right away. Can the farm support the living expenses of two families? While the outlook for agriculture looks bright, there are no guarantees. Land prices have risen over the long term, but there was an extended

period of decline back in the 1980s. It’s seldom wise to have all your eggs in one basket. Let’s say there isn’t another generation of your family that’s going to farm. At retirement, you plan to have an auction sale and sell the land to the highest bidder. Or maybe you’ll hold onto the land, rent it out and live off that income. Some farmers apparently plan to farm until they drop dead, and that certainly happens. Many others, though, are forced to quit working at some point. Without some other retirement income, you might be forced to sell your land at a time when you can’t maximize the value. Or you might have to survive on rental income that’s taken a nosedive for some reason or other. Spend less and save more. I highly recommend The Wealthy Barber Returns.

he results of a recent survey conducted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business will not come as a surprise to anyone living out West. Canadian small businesses in February were enjoying “a little more sunshine,” the federation said as its business barometer index rose for the sixth consecutive month to 66.0. Naturally, businesses on the Prairies were basking the most. In Alberta, the index was the highest among provinces at 72.3, Saskatchewan followed with 70.1 and Manitoba was third at 69.5. Rounding out the provinces with a more positive view than the national average was New Brunswick, at 67.9. What was new in the survey was that agriculture, for the first time, was among the top three industry tiers. Not surprisingly, natural resources was first, along with professional and enterprise services, at 71.8, followed by health and education at 67.6. Right behind were agriculture and finance, tied at 67.4. Also, Saskatchewan businesses led the country in rating their current state of business as good, with 55 percent of respondents. The other two ranking options are satisfactory, 38 percent, and bad, seven percent. That’s a notable turnaround for a province that once considered itself the basket case, despite being the breadbasket, of Canada. Even in booming Alberta, 45 percent said business was good, while in Manitoba, it was 43 percent. Obviously there are challenges ahead — there always are. Skilled labour shortages were cited by 50 percent of small Saskatchewan businesses as the main operating challenge, followed by issues with management skills and time constraints (33 percent). The third main challenge was a shortage of unskilled and semi-skilled labour, so you can see where this is going. Labour of all kinds is the present and looming problem. It’s not much different in Alberta and Manitoba, where the skilled labour shortage was cited as a problem by 46 and 45 percent of respondents, respectively, with 23 and 28 percent citing unskilled and semiskilled labour as a problem. But that aside, the bullish view of the coming year is heartening. Profitable farmers drive a large portion of the prairie economy, so small businesses of all descriptions are likely delighted to hear that agriculture today comes with a positive outlook. It’s good for everyone. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

To the Editor:

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer. Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Cuts will be indicated by ellipsis (…) Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

In response to “Pesticide ban position questioned” (article by Robert Arnason, WP Feb. 16) and “Support wise use of chemicals rather than imposing bans” (WP Editorial, Feb. 16). Pesticides are technology’s answer to poor soil and crop health. The reasons for pest infestations are not due to a lack of pesticides in the environment. Weeds grow in specific soil conditions, favourable to the species. Disease and insects return to the nutrient cycle unhealthy plants that are nutritionally unfit for human consumption.

Technology allows producers to salvage unhealthy, nutritionally deficient crops, delivering full stomachs but malnourished bodies. Producers can only do as good of a job as the information they are given and the economic constraints placed upon them under a cheap food policy. Learning to farm without pesticides will be no harder than learning all the pesticides’ names. However, the economic return will not be as immediate. Pesticides may or may not directly cause cancer, but they are involved in the network of malnutrition that increases susceptibility. Garrett Osborn, Big Beaver, Sask.

DOG INSURANCE To the Editor: After reading all about good dogs for sheep and goat farmers, it appears that some people want it all…. With predators in this country at an all-time high, we have to look at all forms of predator control. After having a herd of 1,500 or more goats, I have gradually come to realize the value of a good guard dog. I just couldn’t go hunting every day. I raised the Great Pyrenees since there were lots of breeders around. At record prices for goats and lambs, a $150 or $200 dog is the best investment a farmer could ever have. Coyotes are getting smarter and

will come to your property in midday while you are in town having coffee at Tim Hortons. They will also pack up … and suck out your friendly Border Collie or wonderful Black Lab pet. Ask my neighbours, when their dog is half eaten by morning. When it comes to feeding your dogs, I have bought very little dog food. I try to save all the baby goats that have died in the sack or others and freeze them in warm weather. If you do not have enough dogs, the dogs you have will be worn out and the coyotes will have a party. When all is said and done, if one dog will save you one market lamb or a $300 colt, it has paid for itself more than once. They will also guard against other pests such as raccoons and skunks, and guard your home when you are not there. I would recommend that you keep your gates closed towards roads as some dogs may wander and get into vehicle traffic after watching a coyote walking down the road. So to all livestock producers, don’t be cheap — get some dogs…. Thomas Reich, Lethbridge, Alta.

(Agriculture) minister (Gerry) Ritz says Australian farmers are happy their wheat board is gone. To support this he claims Australian wheat production “reached record levels last year.” Minister Ritz must be appealing to the village idiots with this argument. Last year a record long drought ended and Australia actually got rain for a change. That is why production is up. Ritz also quotes an Australian politician that farmers are happy without their wheat board. We all know politicians almost never admit to a mistake. The Australian media has been full of stories of farmers complaining about mysteriously lower grades, shipping problems, lower prices and discrimination by the big companies. The Australian farmers who have not been pushed out by the big corporations are surely not happy with the end of their wheat board, and no doubt part of the problem comes from something Ritz boasted about: there are now 26 exporters and 60 pools all taking farmers’ money for their dubious services. We already see the same things happening here in Canada with the CIBC saying Viterra will increase its profits over 40 percent once the Canadian Wheat Board is gone and foreign hedge funds investing in CP Rail in anticipation that freight rates will increase between 25 and 40 percent. There is no doubt this makes some people like minister Ritz happy, but fewer and fewer farmers will share in his gloating. Donn Dutchak, Rama, Sask.

OPINION motivation in advocating for a ban on the cosmetic use of pesticides is our continuing and strong commitment to the health of Canadians. It is important to distinguish that our call for a ban applies only to cosmetic pesticides that are used primarily to improve the appearance of green spaces by controlling unwanted weeds and plants. The society recognizes that the issue is much more complex in agricultural applications and in ensuring public health and safety. Our position on cosmetic use of pesticides is supported by a growing body of scientific evidence suggesting that some substances used in pesticides may increase the risk of developing cancer. While the evidence linking pesticides and cancer is not definitive, it is suggestive and growing. Our position also takes into account the precautionary principle that states, when an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the envi-

ronment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some causeand-effect relationships are not fully established scientifically. Since cosmetic use of pesticides is purely for decorative purposes, and research suggests that it may cause harm, a ban on cosmetic pesticides supports the society’s effort to protect the health of Canadians and reduce their risk of cancer, which is at the heart of all we do. Gillian Bromfield, National Director, Cancer Control Policy, Canadian Cancer Society, Toronto, Ont.

It always swings from too hot to too cold and from too wet to too dry. After having the dry 1980s, erratic ’90s, we had above average wet years for the last greater part of a decade. It all ended in a crescendo in 2010. Do you think that two millimetres is a lot of rain? Well, on my farm in 2010, I recorded an average of two mm water equivalent per day for the year. For the first half of 2011, we were averaging 0.8 mm per day. Water catchment sites were disappearing, which was odd because of the previous wet year. We were in a drought.

Our mother, our Earth SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

ach spring as the cold and darkness of winter fades, my sense of vitality is restored. The awakening starts as the hours of sunlight lengthen. I receive a special boost when I smell the earthy dampness of fresh spring rain. My awareness is tweaked with the appearance of the earliest of spring flowers. I watch the cows with their calves. I listen for the over-flight of ducks and marvel at the unfolding saga of nature. Think about our connectedness with the land. Some call us earthlings. The ancient Hebrews referred to us as Am Ha’ Aretz, or grassroots people. The Chinese talk about humans as the hsin of heaven and earth, and hsin is written as a pictograph of the human heart. In this simple way they seem to be saying humans are the “understanding and heart of heaven and earth.” From the Hebrew legends come stories of our source. “The Lord God took some soil and formed a man; he breathed into his nostrils and the man began to live.” In real life, my dad showed me God’s handiwork as we worked and fished together. One grandmother shared her love for garden flowers and the other her love for her cattle. An agricultural professor revealed a sermon text in a handful of soil. A child opening her first pea pod helped me marvel at mysteries hidden away. I will never forget the sound of awe in the voice of a friend who told me, “yesterday’s sunset was so beautiful, I just had to stop the car and have a cry.” The Earth is our mother. It is from her that we are created. It is in her that we are rooted. It is out of her that we draw nourishment. It is into her that we shall return. To her we give thanks.

However, it was not universal, which is why the Canadian Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association expects the U.S. administration will formally appeal by March 23 a World Trade Organization ruling that found the American COOL legislation in violation of WTO rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They very likely will appeal,â&#x20AC;? CCA government and international relations director John Masswohl told the CCA annual meeting in Ottawa March 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the outside, it looks like we will have a final decision by late July.â&#x20AC;? The U.S. National Farmers Union is the major dissenting American farm voice in favour of COOL, and CCA president Travis Toews said it is a major agricultural ally of the governing Democrats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They feel they have to do that to appease their biggest supporters in the industry,â&#x20AC;? he said. Toews said the industry is optimistic that the WTO appeal judgment will be as favourable to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaint as was the original judgment that ruled COOL rules are unjustifiably protectionist. The result is not guaranteed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we are going to our best foot forward.â&#x20AC;? Toews said in a later interview that the day the WTO ruling came out in favour of Canada was one of his great days as CCA president because the organization had spent so much money and effort to support the case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To see the panel essentially agree with us was gratifying after the effort that was expended, the fact that we were so heavily invested in the issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. Masswohl said the Canadian view is that the original judgment means the Americans should agree that COOL legislation must be changed. The U.S. NFU said only tweaking is required. American packers and major cattle groups support the Canadian campaign against COOL because they say it hurts their industry through diminished access to Canadian cattle and calves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very pleased with the support of the (U.S.) industry coalition, but everyone has come to the conclusion there will be an appeal,â&#x20AC;? Masswohl told the meeting. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz raised the issue when he was in Washington in late February with the industry delegation and said agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack did not tip his hand about a decision. However, he implied that Vilsackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sympathies lie with those who believe the COOL rules hurt the North American beef market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As to the appeal, that will be the government decision at this point, (and) certainly Mr. Vilsack kept his cards close to his vest on that,â&#x20AC;?

Store brands drive out small manufacturers: food lobby Review competition regulations | Smaller brands being squeezed out BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadian food manufacturers face a tough time finding shelf space in major food retailers, competing with store brands and copycat products, says a senior sector industry executive. Derek Nighbor, senior vice-president of Food and Consumer Products of Canada, used an appearance before the House of Commons agriculture committee March 7 to warn that if the government does not update a decade-old policy on anticompetitive trends in the food sector, small and mid-size Canadian food processors could be put out of business. “If we take too long to take action and lose a number of these players in the market, we could find that the damage to the industr y will be beyond repair,” he told MPs as they began hearings on the food supply value chain. The FCPC represents food manufacturers and distributors. Nighbor said a major change in the industry since Competition Act regulations last were amended to deal

with food sector competition issues is the growth of store brand products by large retail chains, which are given prominent display and guaranteed shelf space leaving competing products with less room in the system and less preferable shelf placement. “Our issue is not with the (brand) products themselves but how their prevalence in the marketplace is allowing the country’s largest retailers to squeeze manufacturers and farmers,” he said. “We are concerned that if the Canadian government does not review these issues in a substantive way, like governments in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Nor way and the EU (European Union) have, we are putting the future of our food and consumer products manufacturing sector, farmers and Canadian consumers at risk.” Nighbor said a growing concentration in the food retail sector gives these companies disproportionate clout and they use it in ways that hurt independent food processors. “In a consolidated retail market, it can be cost-prohibitive for smaller Canadian processors to get listed and stay on the shelf in leading stores,”

said Nighbor. “Exorbitant fees to get on the shelf and stay on the shelf remain serious barriers for many manufacturers. Off-loading of costs by retailers to manufacturers in this unbalanced environment is making our manufacturing sector less competitive. This makes Canada a less desirable place for both domestic and foreign investment.” During the same committee session, University of Western Ontario business professor David Sparling lamented that too much food policy attention is focused on primary producers and business risk management programs that keep the sector populated by smaller farms. “The industry still remains dominated by small farms but the reality is the large farms produce most of the product,” he said. “The biggest 7,000 farms produce more than the smallest 105,000 farms using one-quarter of the resources.” He argued that for farmers with revenues less than $100,000, it requires $18 worth of assets to produce $1 of revenue compared to $2.50 in assets for farms with revenues over $2.5 million. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

EU free trade agreement expected this summer Hormone-treated beef rejected | Canadian Cattlemen’s Association wants significant beef access to European markets access=subscriber section=news,international_ag,none

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s free trade negotiations with the European Union should finish with an agreement this summer, but any trading benefits are likely years away, says a Canadian Cattlemen’s Association official. And while the CCA is resigned to not seeing the EU budge in its rejection of hormone-treated beef, the Canadian cattle lobby is determined that it will not embrace a

deal that does not offer substantially better beef access to European consumers. “For us to support a deal, we’re going to need significant beef access,” outgoing CCA president Travis Toews said. “Our position is that we want preferential duty-free access to Europe. Pragmatically, I can’t say that is where we’ll land, but we need significant access and we have high expectations that this government and these negotiators will get it.”

He said it’s equally important to reduce EU technical barriers that often deny the access that negotiators think they have achieved. However, reaching a deal is the first order of business. Negotiations have been ongoing for more than two years amid protests from many trade skeptics in Canada who argue that an agreement will undermine supply management through more cheese imports and hurt the ability of local governments to access goods locally, including

local food networks. Most Canadian farm groups with export interests have supported the prospect of a deal with Europe. But it will not happen soon. John Masswohl, the CCA’s government and international relations director, told the CCA annual general meeting in Ottawa March 8 that negotiators expect to finish a deal within months, but it will then go to the lawyers, to translation into 20 languages to accommodate the 27-member EU and to political ratifi-

cation in both jurisdictions. “You are talking a two or three year process to implement it,” he told delegates. The CCA has been active in promoting the possibility of increased exports to the EU, lobbying the federal government in Ottawa but also sending delegations to European countries to counter their perception that Canadian cattle will be dumped into Europe or that Canadian production practices do not meet European standards.

LIVESTOCK TRACEABILITY | FUNDING

Ag minister, safety expert disagree on traceability progress access=subscriber section=news,none,none

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

With a $3 million contribution to an electronic beef industry recordkeeping system, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz last week proclaimed it a sign of government’s support for an industry traceability system. He also suggested that despite a 2009 federal-provincial ministers’ commitment to establish a mandatory national livestock traceability system by 2011, the “mandatory”

aspect of the commitment may not be necessary even if creation of the national system has been delayed. The national traceability goal already has been put back at least until 2013 and at a February Conference Board of Canada food conference in Toronto, an industry traceability specialist said little progress is being made despite political claims of success. Susan Wilkinson, an IBM Global Business Services expert on developing food safety and traceability sys-

tems for industry, questioned claims of progress. “Despite a lot of years and a lot of money, we really haven’t got very far,”

she said. “We are moving very slowly toward it.” Clearly, Ritz does not share that view. “I think we’ve had such good success with that that the mandatory probably will never be required,” he said in an interview after a March 8 speech to the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association annual general meeting in Ottawa where he made the funding announcement. “We’re probably at 90 percent coverage now. I think we’re doing really

well,” he said. “If it is required, it can always be put into play. There will always be a certain amount of farmers that don’t recognize they should keep records (but) fortunately, that is a small percentage.” The $3 million contribution will go toward the BeefInfoXchange System established last year with a federal grant to help transfer animal and carcass data from farm to processor. The latest funding will extend the system to allow data from packing plants to the BIXS database.

Agriculture Canada denies scientists muzzled Refuting Nature article | Media interviews sometimes delayed but not refused BY ROBERT ARNASON

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 15, 2012

DIFFERENT BOX, SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENTS.

BRANDON BUREAU

A recent editorial in the journal Nature that accused the Canadian government of muzzling its scientists doesn’t apply to researchers with Agriculture Canada, says a director general with the department. Stephen Morgan-Jones said Agriculture Canada scientists are encouraged to share their research with producers and are free to share their opinions on agricultural science with journalists. “A s a n o r g a n i z a t i o n , w e a r e extremely open with the stuff that we do,” said Morgan-Jones from his Agriculture Canada office in Lethbridge. “I don’t know of any case where we have withheld information from the public, which has been collected and funded by taxpayer dollars.” Earlier this month one of the world’s leading science journals, Nature, slammed the Canadian government for its policies on science communication. The federal government, an editorial in Nature noted, prizes message control over the free flow of information, as government communication staff vet topics and questions submitted by journalists before a scientist is permitted to speak to a reporter. On controversial topics, such as atmospheric research, government scientists have not been allowed to speak with the media, even though the research was published in a public journal, Nature noted. Morgan-Jones, who had not read the Nature article before being interviewed by The Western Producer, said Agriculture Canada scientists are not muzzled. Yet, researchers within the department are expected to follow a process before they speak with a journalist. The scientists are supposed to report a media request to a government communications specialist before proceeding with the interview. Morgan-Jones made it clear that it’s not an approval process because communication staff don’t decide whether an interview proceeds. Most of the time the process is a formality, he said. If the topic is controversial, such as greenhouse gas

emissions or genetically modified o r ga n i s m s, t h e p ro c e s s m i g ht become more complex, he added. “We want to make quite sure that we’ve got our facts right, in terms of responding to the media. The process is also designed to identify there is a sensitive area and whether we need to need to do a little more work in terms of providing the response to the media.” In certain cases, Western Producer reporters have waited several days to more than a week for government communication staff to vet interview questions. That sort of delay isn’t surprising, said Stephen Strauss, vice-president of the Canadian Science Writers’ Association. He said he’s heard of media requests climbing as high as the Privy Council before a scientist was allowed to speak with a journalist. Delays aside, Agriculture Canada doesn’t control what scientists do or don’t say to the media, Morgan-Jones said. “I know of no circumstance where we (the department) have directed any sort of response to a particular issue and told scientists that is the actual response that they have to give.” As well, Agriculture Canada is committed to sharing its expertise, openly, with the public and producers. “Eighty percent of the research we do is what we would regard as public good, for the benefit of the industry,” he said. “We’re investing those research dollars on behalf of and for the farming sector. We want to transfer those results as effectively as possible.”

NEWS AG EXPO | SEED SHOW

Seed fair big draw 115-year-old show | Numbers decline but quality seed samples still a draw BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The North American Seed Fair began 115 years ago and is thought to be one of the oldest seed fairs in Canada. This year’s entries were on display at Ag Expo in Lethbridge Feb. 29 - March 2. | BARB GLEN PHOTO

“It comes through for me every time.”

There’s one herbicide you can always count on.

A 1 1 5 -y ea r-o ld seed f a ir ha s reached its advanced age for a reason: it is a good place to show off quality samples. The North American Seed Fair, displayed at Ag Expo in Lethbridge Feb. 29-March 2, drew 200 entries this year. That is down from its glory days of 400 to 500 entries, said seed fair committee member Julie Sisson, but it is still a draw for the annual trade show. “It’s an opportunity for the pedigreed growers to show what they’re growing and sometimes people are shopping for certain varieties.” She said entries are trending lower for various reasons: • Sometimes quality isn’t available, which was an issue last year when widespread frost downgraded samples. • Fair regulations require seed samples to be representative of a three-ton lot from a seed cleaner. Growers cannot enter a sample if they haven’t cleaned their seed by the fair deadline. • Shipping costs might be a factor for entries far from Lethbridge. • Ownership changes to seed plants in the United States about two years ago reduced the number of entries from south of the border. The seed fair has 50 classes including grains, oilseeds, pulses, forage and hay. Prize money ranges from $25 to $75 and winners receive a plaque. Seed fair committee chair Shad Milligan said the display of winning samples remains a draw for Ag Expo. “There’s actually a lot of people looking at the samples themselves. The way we’ve got it set up, the championship plaques are placed with the sample. The volunteers do a great job of setting the display up, to make it draw that crowd to have a look,” he said. “The exposure is huge and for some of the seed growers it’s really one of those things to showcase new varieties.” Ag Expo and the seed fair drew 25,148 visitors this year, which was 2,500 more than last year and a sixyear high in attendance.

RESEARCH | GRASSLANDS

Alta. test sites use satellite imagery Research establishes baselines | Radarsat-2 sees through clouds, provides data BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Satellite imagery is key to three components of grassland research at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lethbridge. Scientist Anne Smith said projects on grassland mapping, productivity measurement and invasive weeds all use data from Radarsat-2, a Canadian satellite able to “see” through clouds and provide data on a wide scale. Smith said satellite data is being used on test sites in southern Alberta, and once the technique is better

defined, research could help identify and monitor grasslands throughout Western Canada. “There is a grassland vegetation inventory that’s been recently done (for Alberta), but part of the question is how do we update that,” said Smith. Radar technology may be able to do it in an economical way. She hopes research can establish a baseline on location and amount of native grassland so that changes caused by cultivation or climate change can be recognized. The United States and Australia both have programs to estimate

grassland productivity, and Smith said she is applying both programs to the Canadian situation. The practical application is to develop potential recommendations on the stocking capacity of grasslands. She said mapping the location of leafy spurge will allow biological controls to be better targeted and help gauge the effectiveness of weed control efforts. Satellite imagery provides spatial information on target areas, and the rest can be interpolated to produce a leafy spurge map of a large area.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE | JORDAN

OTTAWA BUREAU

Legislation authorizing a CanadaJordan free trade agreement has received MP approval in principle and now goes for detailed study. The approval comes three years after the deal was negotiated and follows many hours of debate. In the end, opposition MPs who spent days complaining about the government’s free trade performance and about Jordan’s human rights record voted unanimously for Bill C-23 March 5 so that it can be sent to the House of Commons international trade committee for hearings. A more controversial bill to implement a free trade deal with Panama did not fare as well. It remains stuck in the Commons after another hour of debate March 2 amid opposition complaints about Panama’s domestic human rights record and its reputation as a tax haven where rich Canadians and businesses avoid taxes and launder money. The unanimous vote on the Jordan deal settled one point of contention. Conservative MPs like to complain that New Democrat MPs have never voted for free trade because they oppose it ideologically. However, despite their criticisms and the vow to carry on the fight for improvements at committee, New Democrats in the House did vote for the Jordan deal. Although trade between Canada and Jordan is small, valued at just $86 million in two-way trade in 2010, Canadian supporters of the deal argue that as the first free trade deal with a Middle Eastern country, it could become a gateway to get more Canadian goods into the region. Late last year, foreign affairs and international trade department director general Kirsten Hillman, who was in charge of the trade negotiations, told MPs that the deal will open important markets for Canadian agriculture and farm products. She said the deal will eliminate tariffs on 99 percent of products recently shipped by Canada. Tariffs now range from 11 to 30 percent.

New seed-applied nutrient technology Awaken® ST enters Canadian market

Awaken ST & Rancona

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

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

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

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

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

CROP INPUTS | MICRONUTRIENTS

Powdered nutrition products offer farmers better option Micronutrient markets | Upgraded manufacturing plant set to meet increased demands for dried disposable powder products BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Seed and fertilizer can go into the ground this spring wearing a coat of micronutrients supplied by a Canadian company. Wolf Trax of Winnipeg recently upgraded its manufacturing facility to meet what it hopes will be increased demand for its dried disposable powder (DDP) products that cling to seeds and fertilizer prills and deliver micronutrients required by growing plants. The fertilizer-applied products can include zinc, copper, manganese, boron, iron and calcium in various combinations, depending on needs indicated by soil tests. The seed nutrition product, called Protinus, has a mix of micronutrients designed to enhance early nutrient uptake by emerging seedlings. Attributes include a unique formulation, better distribution due to even coating of the prill or seed, and flexibility of use, said Wolf Trax marketing director Jereleen Brydon. “From a rate perspective, with a typical granular micronutrient, (farmers) have to put a lot of actual product on to get the adequate amount of micronutrient to the field,” Brydon said. “Because of the better way of delivering, we use much lower rates and get more consistent and sometimes greater uptake.” Doug Cranwell, who farms near Roblin, Man., tried both products last year and said he plans to use them again. “That’s probably the easiest way I’ve ever put copper on, on wheat land,” he said. Although he isn’t sure the product delivered higher yields, he said he thinks there was some crop response. Alberta Agriculture research scientist Ross McKenzie said all plants require micronutrients, but he advised caution in their purchase and application because they are not needed everywhere. Even when tests show deficiency, he added, micronutrients are not necessarily needed every year. “The question is, when do we need them? In Western Canada, the answer is not very often and not under very many soil types,” he said. “If you’re going to put them on,

you’re going to want to make sure that you actually need that micronutrient.” Wolf Trax president Geoff Gyles said most western Canadian farmers don’t use micronutrients, but greater general awareness about crop nutrition bodes well for his company. “We recommend micronutrient products only when you need them,” he said. “Not every single acre in Western Canada requires a micronutrient product. What some farmers are starting to notice now, though, is as they push the performance of their farm … they’re starting to notice other deficiencies starting to turn up.” Brydon said the compact packaging of the fertilizer DDP makes it attractive to growers and retailers who custom-apply products for customers. One pallet of DDP equals almost one truckload of granular fertilizer, she said. Seed products director Jennifer Bailes said the idea for the seedapplied product came from farmers who were already side banding fertilizer. “We took their cue and actually formulated a scientifically derived formula and mix of products,” said Bailes. “This is our first foray into the seed nutrition business.” She said tests on many crops have indicated faster, more even emergence and larger seedlings with better developed roots than untreated plots. Later in their development, treated crops tend to have greener canopies with larger plants, according to Wolf Trax research. Bailes said a yield benefit was noted in treated seed plots 70 to 80 percent of the time, and in cereals that benefit was five to seven percent. Protinus has also been tested on canola and forages. Protinus remains viable after application as long as the seed does, so shelf life is not an issue, Bailes said. Gyles said the DDP fertilizer price is comparable to other micronutrients on the market. On the seed-applied Protinus, cost depends on the size of the seed, but Bailes said canola growers are paying 75 cents to $3 per acre, depending on their needs. On cereals, the cost is $8 to $9 per acre. McKenzie said cost versus benefit is a key consideration for producers con-

Natural prairie protected by pact

Expert advice in the grocery store

BY BILL STILWELL FREELANCE WRITER

NEEPAWA, Man. — An initiative in southwestern Manitoba is ensuring that 230 acres of native mixed-grass prairie that have never been broken remain that way. The Rural Municipality of Edward is working with the Nature Conservancy of Canada to protect the land through the Conservation Agreement program. Reeve Ralph Wang said the project shows that conserving natural spaces and maintaining agricultural practices can successfully coexist. “This is natural prairie that has never been broken,” said Wang. “It is pastured now and that is what it is best suited for.” He said grazing will continue as part of the agreement reached with the nature conservancy. Josh Dillabough, a securement representative with the conservancy, said the land is valuable wildlife habitat. “Undisturbed native prairie is home to many species including several that are on the verge of extinction,” he said. “NCC is focusing efforts on this area known as the West Souris Mixed Grass Prairie Natural Area as it supports one of the province’s last habitat strongholds for grassland birds such as the burrowing owl, Baird’s sparrow, Sprague’s pipit, loggerhead shrike and ferruginous hawk.” Wang said he has watched the native prairie gradually disappear in the more than 65 years he has lived in the area. He hopes other landowners will take notice and consider protecting their native grasslands, which would help prevent further decline of habitat and the wildlife it supports. Audrey Bird, the RM’s chief administrative officer, said the land is a unique and valuable piece of property. “We felt it was a good idea to protect it because it has some unique plant life, as well as birds and animals.” Added Dillabough: “NCC is excited to be working with the RM of Edward to protect its native grasslands and to help promote local tourism with the Watchable Wildlife’s Grasslands Birding Trail.” Bird watching is important in the RM, which describes itself as a bird watcher’s paradise. According to the RM’s website, the area is widely known for its vast assortment of east and west birds. Under conservation agreements, landowners continue to hold title to their land but voluntarily agree to limit the amount and type of development that can take place. They are filed on the title to the land and apply to all future owners.

Questions answered | Project places beef educators face to face with customers the choices can be overwhelming for consumers who are increasingly removed from the farm and no longer have access to in-store butchers. The BCCA is sponsoring the program as a way to make customer service a greater priority. “It is a way to help the customer to navigate through the meat case.” Besides cooking tips, consumers are asking about animal welfare, general ranching practices and the use of antibiotics and growth hormones. Overwaitea has been a major beef partner since 2003, when BSE closed

borders to trade and the chain could no longer import Certified Angus Beef from the United States. The company approached the BCCA to find ways to move more local beef. The result was the creation of the Western Family beef brand, which was all sourced from Alberta and B.C., said Steve Van Der Leest of the chain, which includes Price Smart Foods, Coopers Foods, Overwaitea, Urban Fare and Save on Foods. The company operates only in B.C. and Alberta. No American or Austra-

lian product is substituted. Most of the beef is processed in a central plant where all cuts are packaged and priced for delivery to stores. The company also launched a campaign featuring ranching families on posters, held rancher days in its stores and brought in beef educators to work with customers. “We showed our customers there are real people behind the beef,” Van Der Leest said. This year, the company is looking for new families for a new series of posters and commercials.

baert, a former Snowbird pilot, said her work as chair of the Canadian Forces Liaison Council and other military activities is highly regarded. “She’s a very hardworking individual,” he told reporters. “I think she’ll be a great ambassador for the people of the province and she’ll just do good work travelling the province and working with the people of the province, especially the young people.” Schofield is an honorary lieutenant-colonel of 38 Saskatchewan Service Battalion. In Ottawa, Harper and Saskatchewan Liberal MP Ralph Goodale noted Schofield’s military support. The liaison council helps forces members and reservists find jobs and services once their service time ends. “This was a program started by (former lieutenant-governor) Jack Wiebe and when he left, he passed it off to the business community,” Goodale said. “Vaughn has been a leader in that effort.” He said she has also been involved in organizing the military families’ gala in Regina and a Canadian Forces tribute at Saskatchewan Roughriders games. “I think most people will know her for her support of the military and her community work,” Goodale said. “She’s got a very long and prestigious resume and a real sense of community service.” Saskatchewan interim NDP leader John Nilson said he knew Schofield through her involvement in the arts. “I don’t know her well, but I do know her from many activities here in Regina, and I actually knew her father, who was a prominent person in Saskatchewan life over many years,” he said. Schofield is president of the Western Group of Companies, which has b u s i n e s s re a l e s t at e i nt e re s t s throughout Western Canada. She taught English at schools in Montreal and Toronto but has dedicated much of her time to volunteer interests. She was chair of the board for Crime Watch, wrote and hosted a crime prevention talk show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and has served on boards of many other organizations. She is fluent in Spanish. She received the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal in 2009. Schofield has not been overtly politically partisan. “I’m very honoured to do this,” Saskatchewan’s 21st vice-regal representative said. “I’m looking very much forward to serving the people of the province and working with the government in support of the monarchy.” Schofield is married to Gordon. Their daughter, Whitney, is a pediatric dentist and son George is mayor of Regina Beach. Premier Brad Wall congratulated Schofield on her appointment and praised retiring Barnhart and his wife, Naomi, for their contribution. “They have touched so many people with their warmth and generous spirit, but none more than the youth of our province through the lieutenant-governor’s leadership forum.”

WTO puts hope in new leader Alta. district votes no New head in 2013 | Americans saw Pascal Lamy as a disappointment BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A former trade negotiator says global talks will remain in the deep freeze for some time, but they remain the best hope for exporting sectors such as Canadian cattle. The federal government continues to focus on bilateral trade deals, which is supported by the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, but only multilateral agreements can deal effectively with a broad range of access and nontariff trade barrier issues that are key to the trading system, said John Weekes, once Canada’s chief negotiator in Geneva. “There is an impasse now but nobody wants to kill it,” he told the CCA annual meeting March 8. “A WTO agreement is the best longterm outcome.” Weekes said several pending events could breathe energy and resolve into the stalled negotiations, which have been at an impasse for almost four years. He said a key will be the Sept. 1, 2013, replacement of retiring World Trade Organization director general Pascal Lamy. Candidates for the job will be nominated by the end of December 2012. “We’ll have a new person running the place and that could change the dynamic,” he said.

We’ll have a new person running the place and that could change the dynamic. JOHN WEEKES FORMER TRADE NEGOTIATOR

Weekes was critical of Lamy, who has headed the trade bureaucracy since 2005, for not being effective at convincing major players to compromise and look for creative solutions to the impasse. Part of the problem was that the director-general preferred to deal with trade ministers and heads of government visiting Geneva rather than the ambassadors and negotiators stationed there. “But it is the people there, not ministers and heads of government, who negotiate solutions.” There was a particularly cool relationship between the European Lamy and the crucial American delegation over the years, he said. “He has been a bit of a disappointment.” Weekes also said that next year’s installation of the new American administration, even if it is another Barack Obama administration, could lead to more American resolve

to complete the negotiation. The current WTO impasse developed in part because of conflict between the United States and increasingly influential emerging developing countries. The U.S. has resisted lowering tariffs on industrial products into its market unless countries such as China and India open up their markets more to American products, including agriculture. Weekes said a committee that Lamy established to consider emerging issues such as the trade implications of climate change, food security demands and energy could increase the WTO round’s relevancy for many of its members. Many WTO countries think that the Doha round reflects an outdated world view, he added. “We’re looking at an agenda agreed on over 10 years ago, in a very different time and without much of a work agenda,” he said. “Adding some items from the next generation of issues could open up some avenues for negotiation and inject some energy.” Still, trade ministers meeting in Geneva last December agreed that the negotiating stalemate will likely last for several years at least. The next WTO ministerial meeting is scheduled for late 2013, after Lamy is gone. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

to landfilll on farmland BY MELANIE COLLISON FREELANCE WRITER

BLACKIE, Alta. — The residents of Blackie have defeated an application by solid waste giant BFI Canada Inc. to build a landfill near their hamlet south of Calgary. Their Municipal District of Foothills council was unanimous in its March 6 denial of BFI’s request to redesignate agricultural land for its use. Landfill opponents from the hamlet and surrounding farms spent months marshalling their arguments. “We never wavered and [we] outclassed them. I am very proud to be from Blackie today,” said Jerry Ellice. Ellice is among a group that hired Calgary environmental lawyer Debbie Bishop to represent them at three days of hearings. BFI project manager Mike Gladstone said the company will assess the decision before deciding its next move. “We’re going to take some time to digest and consider the input we received.” He added that BFI remains committed to building infrastructure to meet Alberta Environment’s recycling, composting and waste diversion goals. According to the MD, the decision to reject the proposed landfill was

based heavily on four factors: protecting agricultural land, wetland protection, protection of the water aquifer and the need for the proposed landfill. “This (proposal) was going to take about 400 acres of cultivated land out of production and it was hard to know how many more acres would be used,” Nelson said. On the 960 acre site, BFI planned cells to bury waste, roads, and buildings, with room for expansion over a 26 year project lifespan. Nelson added that about 40 percent of wetlands on the property would have been destroyed. As well, witnesses challenged BFI’s certainty that the aquifer beneath the site was adequately protected by glacial till. “The aquifer is not something you want to have any doubt about,” Nelson said. Fourth, there was no identified need for a landfill. “BFI wouldn’t have proposed the site had they not felt they would be getting materials coming in,” Nelson said, “but we had no indication from any outside party demanding we approve this because they needed some place to take their waste stream.” Nelson also cited heavy truck traffic, noise, odour and dust, and an influx of seagulls into a major staging area for migrating waterfowl. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

BIRD WELFARE | CAGES

Animal activists exert pressure to change hen cages Laying hen production controversy | Researchers suggest furnished cages with perches and more space BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — The perceived quality of life for laying hens confined in cages has animal welfare groups calling for change. “A number of activist groups think we should be going completely cage free,” animal welfare scientist Tina Widowski told a recent Alberta poultry conference in Red Deer. Many producers defend cages because the hens are healthier and productive, but others say confined spaces inhibits natural movement. “Ultimately it may be retailers and consumers who are making some of the decisions,” said Widowski, who is the Egg Farmers of Canada poultry chair at the University of Guelph. Researchers suggest furnished cages with nest boxes, perches and more space per bird are the best compromise. These provide more space for birds to nest, scratch, perch and flap their wings. Most Canadian hens are kept in battery cages 18 inches high with 67 sq. inches of space per bird. European Union far mers are

The European system requires 160 sq. inches per bird. Research shows birds kept in cages tend to have weaker bones from lack of exercise and processors report 20

to 29 percent have broken bones. However, osteoporosis occurs in all types of housing because the birds often deplete the calcium in their bones to make egg shells. “In cages, we know osteoporosis is exacerbated by a lack of exercise,” Widowski said. “ H o w e v e r, b o n e s t r e n g t h i s improved with perches, with furnished cages and the bone strength is improved if you take birds out of cages.”

Birds living in more open systems have more broken wish bones and keel bones because they fly more and crash into things. There are also more problems with pecking and higher death rates. The new systems are meant to improve the birds’ quality of life with improved welfare. Quality of life assessments study birds’ health, productivity, mortality rates, injury scores and immune function, while emotional assessments consider how the animal feels, whether it be fear, pain, frustration, pleasure or contentment. Some scientists argue hens feel frustration because they instinctively want to nest or perch. Hens seem to prefer sleeping in a perching position to guard against predation in the wild. Pecking and scratching behaviour is linked to the natural instinct to forage for food. “If you give them a choice between free food in a dish and feed hidden in wood shavings, they won’t take it all for free,” Widowski said. “She will still search for some of her income for a part of the day.” Chickens also want to dust bathe. Those living on litter dust bathe every two or three days to keep feathers in good condition and get rid of parasites. It probably feels good as

well, and hens will “sham” dust when they live on wire floors. Feather pecking is part of redirected foraging. “We know that feather pecking occurs in every type of housing system that we see,” she said. However, it can become extreme when a bird is victimized and does not fight back. The others will attack if they see blood or torn skin. Researchers think some of this cannibalism is motivated by nutritional factors, stocking density and genetics. Beak trimming can help, but it is also a welfare issue. Trimming is considered painful because the beaks are loaded with nerves for touching, heat detection, pain and smell. It is usually done in the hatchery with precision beak treatments. “The beak is like the hand of the bird.” Widowski said new systems and bird care methods are coming to Canada, but it is important to acclimatize the birds to new housing when they are young. Birds have to learn to perch and use more space to fly upward or walk around, she added. They will not learn later in life. “We know we have to manage birds to their housing system,” she said.

Expect further disruptions | Bissma Pacific official tells farmers to require more money up front BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Containers of stranded prairie pulses sitting on the docks of Arab cities highlight the need for Canadian exporters to find better ways to handle world market risks. “It’s been a big deal,” said Martin Chidwick, senior vice-president of Bissma Pacific about the effect of the Arab Spring protests that toppled some Arab governments and destabilized a number of others. “We were selling three to six months ahead. Now it’s all hand to mouth. If you’ve got a contract that’s six to eight weeks out, you know you’re liable for a challenge if the market goes against you.” Chidwick told the Grainworld conference in Winnipeg that the kind of political disruption and revolution that swept many pulse-consuming Arab nations in the past year rattled overseas buyers.

ing the hits and the lumps themselves,” said Chidwick. “Others ask for a bit more time. There are some who run for the hills and leave the commodities we have shipped sitting at port.” Exporters who try to fulfill their obligations have to either move the cargo somewhere else, which is costly, or slash its price so that a local buyer will pick it up, which is also costly. Chidwick said exporters can expect more disruptions such the Arab Spring, so they should consider covering their risks better. They can: • require more money up front before a cargo is shipped • require a letter of credit • sell multiple commodities to the same buyer, lessening the desire of the buyer to renege on a particular shipment • deal mostly with buyers they know well and with whom they have long relationships

Contracts | Crop futures and options can shield producers from drastic falls in prices BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

With Western Canada’s massive spring wheat, durum and barley contracts moving into the open market this year, thousands of farmers might consider boosting their hedging skills. Many organizations are offering education and training, much of it free, too fill the void. “If people have questions or they want us to come out to a group of producers, we would be willing to take a look at that,” said James Facente, director of business development for the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, about hedging sessions it has been holding for farmers on the Prairies this winter. “We’re here. We’re available.” At the Grainworld conference in Winnipeg recently, both MGEX, the operator of a 131-year-old hard red spring wheat futures contract, and the CME Group, the operator of Chicago’s world-dominant crop futures and options markets, held free educational and promotional seminars explaining their contracts. Across Western Canada this winter, farmers have been able to attend sessions explaining futures, options and cash marketing systems that will apply to board grains after the CWB’s marketing monopolies disappear Aug. 1. Governments in Alberta and Saskatchewan have organized meetings explaining how the main hedging and contracting systems will work. Prairie-based marketing advisory services like FarmLink Marketing Solutions have taken part in those meetings, plus organized their own. At CWB meetings across the Prairies this month, staff are explaining to farmers the new programs the revamped organization plans to offer. Some of the information offered by these organizations is tailored to prairie farmers’ crops and their needs. The Alberta and Saskatchewan meetings have been explaining the practical realities of hedging in the

post-monopoly world. The MGEX website contains information designed to demonstrate its belief that Minneapolis spring wheat futures can be used to hedge Canadian prair ie spr ing wheat and durum. The CME Group website contains how-to guides for hedging with futures and options. The CME Group also offers IPad applications that provide video clips on options strategies. Many brokerages also offer how-to guides to futures and options hedging, many available to both clients and non-clients.

Par r ish and Heimbecker has offered to buy Thirdcoast Ltd., which owns port terminals on the Great Lakes and a producer and marketer of dry mustard products. P & H is already the largest shareholder of Thirdcoast, owning about 28 percent, the company said in a news release. Also, two of the directors of Thirdcoast, Phil and Alan Heimbecker, are also directors of P & H.

P & H intends to offer $115 in cash per common share. This represents a 53 percent premium to the bid price for Thirdcoast common shares of $75 as of Jan. 31. Third Coast holdings include Southpier Terminals, which has port terminals at Goderich and Port Colborne, Ont., and G.S. Dunn, a mustard seed processor and marketer in Hamilton, Ont. Southpier’s annual report for the year ending March 31 2011, said the company had after tax profits of about $3.9 million or $12.23 per share.

That was down from $4.12 million or $12.87 per share the year before. The annual report noted that the new P&H grain terminal that opened in Hamilton in 2010 had a significant negative effect on the grain handling volumes and margins of its terminals. Because of the close links between P&H and Thirdcoast, the unsolicited offer is considered an insider bid under securities legislation, which requires that a formal valuation be prepared before P&H can proceed with its bid, Thirdcoast said in a news release.

ORGANIC | MARKETS

Labels sway consumer choices at grocery stores Natural, organic dilemma | Natural food undercuts organic product sales STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

WINNIPEG — It’s crystal clear to Gunta Vitins why Canadian organic food producers and processors should be worried about natural food. Public opinion surveys indicate that 60 percent of Canadians believe in and rely on the word “natural” when making food purchases, yet

only 45 percent of Canadians put their faith in the word “organic.” Vitins, who runs Vitins Consulting in Vancouver and has worked in Canada’s organic sector for many years, said there is a big problem with this emphasis. “Natural means nothing,” she told the Canadian Organic Science conference held last month in Winnipeg. It’s difficult to put numbers on the impact that the natural brand has had on organic sales in Canada, but it’s clear industry leaders believe natural foods are undercutting sales of organic products and have been for a while.

“That (natural) is having the greatest impact on the demand for your (organic) product right now and the value you receive,” Tom Cowell, general manager of Growers International Organic Sales, an organic grain merchandiser based in Winnipeg, said in 2010. Mathew Holtmann, owner of Vita Health stores in Winnipeg, said natural and local beef is now more appealing to his customers than certified organic beef. The curb appeal of the natural brand means Canadian producers can forgo organic certification and still receive a price premium if they

sell their meat and vegetables under the natural banner. “We’re seeing the greenwash of natural in the marketplace, usually marketing itself a couple of price points below organic,” said Matt Holmes, executive director of the Canadian Organic Trade Association. Vitins doesn’t have a problem with farmers cashing in on the natural brand because they are in the business of making money where they can. However, she does find fault with food processors who appropriate the word for marketing purposes. “It is really the manufacturers that are buying the ingredients and pack-

aging in a way that make it look organic. But really it is a conventional product.” Another irritant is that the organic sector built up the industry in Canada and the related demand for food that is perceived as healthier. After it did all the heavy slogging, Vitins added, the natural sector jumped on board for a free ride. “When consumers are buying natural, they think they are buying the attributes of organic,” she said. Food sold under the natural brand in Canada aren’t subject to the same regulations as certified organic food. For the sake of fairness, and to regain market share, some in the organic trade think natural producers and food should face the same stringent regulations as organic. Others think the organic industry should launch a campaign to discredit natural to distinguish the organic brand. The debate doesn’t worry Sam Godwin, an organic grain grower who farms near Whitecourt, Alta., because he thinks the growth of natural food may ultimately benefit Canada’s organic sector. Increased demand for natural food indicates more Canadians are preoccupied with what they eat, he said. Therefore, natural food could become a stepping stone toward increased organic consumption. “All these people that are buying these natural products are very conscientious about what they are eat-

WHAT IS NATURAL This is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s regulation: • “Nature,” “natural,” “Mother Nature,” “Nature’s Way” are terms often misused on labels and in advertisements. • Advertisements should not convey the impression that “Nature” has, by some miraculous process, made some foods nutritionally superior to others or has engineered some foods specially to take care of human needs. Some consumers may consider foods described as “natural” of greater worth than foods not so described.

ORGANIC | PRODUCTION

Natural farming offers less hassle to producers than organic: study

Natural and local beef is now more appealing to many customers than certified organic beef. | FILE PHOTO ing,” said Godwin, president of the Alberta Organic Producers Association. “That puts the whole general population on a higher level of understanding, that you better be aware of the food you eat.” He said the producers who let their organic certification drop in recent years probably weren’t committed to an organic philosophy in the first place. Many of those farmers jumped into organic production when prices for organic commodities skyrocketed and jumped out when prices fell, he added. “In 2007-08, we just came off a high of $7 a bushel for (organic) oats. When people realized that

high had gone down, it wasn’t quite as lucrative a market,” he said. “But now there are the core standards in place that prevent (producers) from getting in and out. That’s going be good…. You don’t want people jumping in and out all the time.” He said declining numbers of organic producers isn’t the biggest problem facing the industry. “We never had those members before 2006-07 anyways,” he said. “Our biggest problem as organic producers is to find a young organic producer to sell your land to. Trying to compete with the oil patch… (where) a man can bring in $8,000 a month and all he needs is a hat, coat and his boots.”

The number of organic farmers in Canada declined 4.5 percent between 2009 and 2010. The losses were most severe on the Prairies, where more than 200 producers dropped out of organic production. According to statistics released last month at Biofach, the world’s largest organic trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany, 1,371 certified organic producers farmed in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in 2010, down from 1,610 certified organic producers in 2009. Nationally, the number of organic producers in Canada dropped to 3,732 in 2010 from 3,914 in 2009. The Canadian Organic Trade Association (COTA) doesn’t have statistics on prairie organic acreage, but executive director Matt Holmes said it’s safe to assume organic acreage on the Prairies declined in 2010. “We’re assuming a similar loss in hectares … but we don’t have the hard number for the hectares,” he said. Not all Canadian regions lost organic producers between 2009 and 2010. The number of organic farmers in Quebec increased 10 percent, making it the top organic province with 1,054 certified growers. Saskatchewan, which has 938 certified organic producers, has fallen to second spot. Holmes said the decline on the

GUNTA VITINS VITINS CONSULTING

Prairies can be explained by a number of factors, including high prices for conventional commodities and national regulations that came into effect in 2009. The regulations made organic certific ation mandatory for any product that is traded across provincial or international borders. The increased burden of the new regulations might have pushed a number of producers out of the organic business, Holmes said. “It’s kind of normal to see a drop because there would’ve been quite a bit more in terms of requirements for the certification system,” he said. “Some people are just washing their hands of it. Too many inspections. (They) don’t want to deal with it.” Another factor behind the decline in organic producers is the rise of the “natural” food brand, said Gunta Vitins, Agriculture Canada’s organic value chain roundtable co-chair. Farmers have learned it’s possible to sell “natural” meat and vegetables for a premium price without the hassle and cost of organic certification, she said. “Producers have realized they don’t have to (be) organic to play in that natural (marketplace),” she said. “Some farmers’ markets make it mandatory that you must be certified. Others are not that way. You can do what you want.” As well, since 2008 organic pro-

ducers in Canada have been more interested in developing markets for their products than they are in adding to their numbers, said Laura Telford, an organic business development specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. “For the last three years, I would say there has been no appetite among existing organic producers to bring any more on board. But (that) is very short sighted because we’ve lost all these producers and there is crazy demand.” The World of Organic Agriculture: Statistics and Emerging Trends 2012 report determined that Canadians spent $2.6 billion organic products in 2010, compared to $2 billion in 2008. Holmes said that makes Canada the fifth largest market in the world for organic food. “We’re ninth highest in the world for per capita consumption of organic products.” About 75 percent of those organic products are imported into Canada, which means there are tremendous opportunities for Canadian organic producers, Vitins said. For instance, Canadian growers could produce more organic tomatoes and baby peeled carrots. As well, more organic forage seed could be grown in Manitoba, Telford said. “Right now, there’s an opportunity for 20,000 new acres of organic forage seed” to sell alfalfa and other organic forage seed into the United States. The industry is trying to develop a brand around Canada’s organic industry in an effort to displace imports and expand exports of Canadian organic food. Telford said the industry also needs to sell the merits of organic farming to Canadian producers.

LAKE DIEFENBAKER | FLOODING

Gardiner Dam failed to do more: report Hydrologists’ study | Officials find that dam didn’t reduce duration of flooding in 2011 BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A new operating plan for Gardiner D a m o n Sa s k at c h e w a n ’s L a k e Diefenbaker will be developed in light of a report assessing operations during last year’s flooding. The report by hydrologists John Pomeroy and Kevin Shook from the University of Saskatchewan outlined several concerns about how the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority operated the dam. Downstream users, including farmers and market gardeners, suffered significant losses as a result of the flood. The report said the dam cut in half the amount of water the farmers would have received if the dam wasn’t there. However, it also said the dam didn’t reduce the duration of flooding in the a re a b e t w e e n Mo o n L a k e a n d Saskatoon. The report said the authority used antiquated tools and procedures to manage the dam. It said the amount of melt coming from the spring snow pack was underestimated and the number of gauges measuring flow on the Saskatchewan River system was inadequate. The lack of hydrometric stations downstream from the confluence of the North and South Saskatchewan rivers makes it impossible to accurately measure the impact of water releases, the report said. It called this “an extraordinary omission.” A map included in the report notes the number of stations in Alberta far surpasses the number in Saskatchewan. “The paucity of stations for the Saskatchewan portion of the Lake Diefenbaker drainage make this region almost entirely ungauged, which resulted in the inability to measure April inflows in to the lake in 2011,” the report said. The report also said that the minimum lake level has been rising over time, making it more difficult to use the reservoir for flood protection. The authors said an operating plan with formal rules and priorities based on the accepted goals of the lake and dam must be a priority. Dustin Duncan, the minister responsible for the watershed authority, said the trouble is that different lake users have different goals. “Some think it’s primarily for downstream flood control; other people think it’s for water supply,” he told reporters. “Certainly, SaskPower has an interest because it produces electricity, and the irrigation district obviously uses it for water.” Every sector thought it was the priority during last year’s flood, he added. “There is no clear prioritization.” Duncan said the watershed authority will now work with all users and stakeholders to develop the new operating plan. The process will be

public, he said. The report also recommended computer systems that align with Alberta’s to get real-time information, as well as additional hydrometric stations. The report said the SWA forecasters “did a superb job with the limited tools and resources, complex operating system and unspecified operating rules available to them.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — U.S. farmers will harvest a record corn crop this year, which will rebuild stockpiles and bring down prices, a University of Missouri think-tank has projected. The forecast came in 2.5 percent lower than the most recent U.S. government projection. The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Center (FAPRI), projected a corn crop of 13.916 billion bushels, six percent larger than the record set in 2009, based on the second-largest plantings since the Second World War. The U.S. Department of Agriculture projected a crop of 14.27 billion bu. Feb. 24 at its annual outlook conference. Like the USDA, the FAPRI estimated a soybean crop of 3.243 billion bu. The think-tank pegged U.S. wheat at 2.239 billion bu. and upland cotton at 18.09 million bales. “The rapid growth in corn ethanol production has slowed,” said FAPRI in a briefing book. It estimated corn for ethanol would grow to 5.07 billion bu. in the marketing year that ends 2013, compared with 4.994 billion bu. this marketing year. U.S. corn yields were below normal in 2010 and 2011. With a return to trend-line yields, “the resulting large increase in production should allow some stock rebuilding that would moderate prices,” said the briefing book. Corn prices would average $4.81 a bushel at the farmgate under FAPRI’s projection, compared to $5.96 a bu. for the 2011 crop. FAPRI projected slightly smaller corn plantings and a smaller crop than did the USDA, which projected plantings at 94 million acres and a farmgate price of $5 per bu. FAPRI projected 2012-13 ending stocks of 1.346 billion bu., while the USDA projects 1.616 billion bu. The USDA says 801 million bu. will be on hand when 2012-13 begins. The USDA and the FAPRI have nearly the same figure for the soybean crop: the USDA says 3.25 billion bu. compared with the FAPRI’s 3.243 billion bu. However, they differ on 2012-13 ending stocks. The USDA projected 205 million bu. and the FAPRI 301 million bu., due to smaller exports. “Price volatility will continue,” said the FAPRI in discussing the outlook for U.S. crops in coming years. It said corn prices could range from less than $3.50 to more than $6 per bu. in any given year. Like the USDA, the FAPRI expects plantings of the eight major crops to increase by about five million acres, or two percent, this year. It would be the largest total since 1998, according to USDA data.

Prying open India’s poultry meat, egg market World Trade Organization action | Ban on U.S. imports not based on sound science

The U.S. says India’s ban on poultry products is unjustified. |

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The United States has begun action at the World Trade Organization to open India’s market for poultry meat and eggs. It says an Indian ban on U.S.

Sclerotinia the hard way. Sclerotinia is a costly disease for canola growers. Provincial disease surveys* indicate that 82% of prairie acres are affected by it. Losses can easily top $30 per acre... almost $5000 per quarter section. Spraying to control sclerotinia is expensive and uncertain because it depends on critical timing.

Or the easy way. There’s a simple, certain and effective way to limit these losses. Plant canola seed with the Pioneer Protector® Sclerotinia trait. It puts your ﬁrst line of defense against this costly disease right into the seed, to help protect your yield potential through to harvest. Control sclerotinia the easy way: Pioneer Protector.

Field results show that Pioneer Protector ® Sclerotinia resistance can reduce the incidence of sclerotinia in a canola crop by over 50%. Individual results may vary. Depending on environmental and agronomic conditions, growers planting Pioneer Protector Sclerotinia resistant hybrids may still require a fungicide application to manage sclerotinia in their crop.

imports intended to stop the spread of avian flu was not based on sound science. “The United States is the world’s leader in agricultural safety and we are confident that the WTO will confirm that India’s ban is unjustified,” U.S. trade representative Ron Kirk said in a statement on the U.S. request for consultations. India’s current ban in the name of protecting local poultry producers from losses caused by avian influenza is “clearly a case of disguising trade restr ictions by invoking unjustified animal health concerns,” Kirk said. The U.S. poultry industry welcomed the move, which it said could pry open a market for U.S. poultry exports conservatively valued at more than $300 million. “In our view, India’s posture is thinly guised protectionism,” said Jim Sumner, president of the U.S. Poultry and Egg Export Council. Added Mike Brown, president of the National Chicken Council: “More than 100 countries … enjoy chicken imported from the United States. “As the middle class in India continues to expand, and the market moves more toward commercial poultry, the United States should be afforded the opportunity to compete fairly with our products in this growing market.” U.S. officials said international scientific standards for controlling avian influenza do not support banning imports due to low pathogenic avian influenza, which is the only type detected in the U.S. since 2004. “The United States has repeatedly asked India to justify its claim that a ban on poultry products from the United States is necessary,” said U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack. “However, to date, India has not provided valid, scientifically based justification for the import restrictions.” The U.S. is the world’s largest broiler meat producer and second largest exporter, behind Brazil. India’s broiler meat consumption has risen from 2.23 million tonnes in 2007 to a projected 2.75 million this year, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report. India is forecast to produce 2.70 million tonnes of broiler meat this year, providing some opportunity f o r i m p o r t s, t h e U S D A re p o r t showed. Consultations are the first step in the WTO dispute settlement process, and parties are encouraged to agree to a solution at this stage. If the matter is not resolved through consultations, the U.S. may request the establishment of a WTO dispute settlement panel. Litigation at the WTO can take one to two years to conclude.

Australian experts expect record wheat stockpiles Prices may fall | Two years of record production combined with Black Sea region exports contribute to large supply CANBERRA, Aus. — Back-to-back years of record wheat production has the Australian industry contemplating record high carryout stocks at the end of the current marketing year, which ends Sept. 30. Industry analysts in the Australian capital of Canberra suggested last week that the country’s wheat carryouts could hit an all-time high of 10 million tonnes this year. The country ended the 2010-11 marketing season with nearly nine million tonnes of wheat on hand, its second highest level since the mid1980s. In the four years before that, carryout stocks averaged about 4.5 million tonnes. Analysts from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Science (ABARES), which monitors agricultural production and markets, did not confirm that figure, but it acknowledged that back-to-back years of record production, combined with higher production and exports from the Black Sea region, would put downward pressure on world wheat prices. Black Sea exports of wheat, oilseeds and coarse grains, which fell to 50 million tonnes in 2010-11, are projected to rebound to 100 million tonnes this year. In a presentation to industry stakeholders in Canberra, Jammie Penm, chief commodity analyst with ABARES, predicted a seven percent decrease in world prices for wheat, coarse grain and oilseeds in 2012-13. “We expect that prices will weaken in the short term and that’s quite understandable, given that we have had a supply shortage in the Black Sea area,” Penm said. “Now that that situation has been eased or resolved, naturally we would expect there will be some downward pressure that will ease prices from the very high levels (we’ve seen).” In the past two years, Australian wheat growers have recorded their two largest wheat harvests ever. They harvested a record 28 million tonnes of wheat in 2010-11 and followed that with another record harvest of 29.5 million tonnes in 2011-12, although quality was below average in many areas. Abundant rainfall throughout eastern Australia already has some industr y analysts anticipating another bumper harvest in 2012-13, even though the crop has yet to be seeded.

Western Producer reporter Brian Cross is in Australia to meet grain industry experts and talk to farmers in the post Australian Wheat Board era. Beginning in the March 22 issue he will explore how the grain handling industry has fared and whether it holds any lessons for Canadians as it completed its transition from a single desk to an open market in 2008. the world’s fourth largest wheat exporter, will have produced three of its four largest wheat crops in consecutive growing seasons. There have been suggestions that

large Australian carryouts by Oct. 1 could put significant pressure on the Australian industry to clear out existing stocks. In some parts of Australia, produc-

ers have expressed concerns about delivery bottlenecks and logistical problems. Alison Watkins, chief executive officer and managing director of GrainCorp, the largest grain handler in eastern Australia, said grain companies will need to ensure that grain continues to move through the system efficiently. Flooding in some parts of Queensland and northern New South Wales damaged rail lines and contributed to logistical problems, Watkins said. But under normal circumstances,

Farm Women and Youth In 1911 the college’s Department of Extension helped to initiate the Homemakers’ Clubs of Saskatchewan, an organization that played an important part in improving the quality of life in rural communities. The clubs promoted educational opportunities for farm young people and supported clinics for prenatal care, preschool-age children and the detection of tuberculosis. They also provided help to the poor and supported educational programs in such subjects as poultry culling, beekeeping and fruit growing. Like the Agricultural Societies, the Homemakers’ Clubs flourished under the guidance of the Department of Extension. By 1912 there were over 100 clubs in the province. In 1913 the department appointed Abigail De Lury, a graduate of Guelph’s MacDonald Institute and a former teacher, as the first Director of Women’s Work. During her 17-year tenure, she devoted herself to the women of the province and was instrumental in building up local libraries in rural communities. During the two World Wars the clubs made significant contributions to the work of the Red Cross. In periods of drought and depression, they worked for community betterment, assisted the poor, and sponsored music and drama festivals, and the building of community halls. The clubs were successful in pressing government to change laws that adversely affected women. The Department of Extension’s educational program for young people took a significant step forward in 1916, with the establishment of a Farm Boys’ Camp in Regina. Extension staff organized this midsummer educational experience, which gave the young people the opportunity to learn about agriculture and participate in recreational activities. Summer camps for boys, and later for girls, became an ongoing part of the department’s work. In 1918 it was formally given the responsibility for the administration and direction of the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs program. This paved the way for the establishment of the Provincial 4-H program, which was administrated by the Extension unit until 1979. From College of Agriculture Highlights 1911-1986. www.agbio.usask.ca

CANBERRA, Aus. — Australian farmers are back in the black. Bruce Bowen, assistant secretary of farm analysis with the country’s agriculture department, said above average rainfall over the past year has boosted financial performance in all sectors of broad acre farming, which includes non-intensive operations such as grain and oilseed production, beef, sheep and dairy. “It (2011-12) is the first time for more than 30 years that we expect positive average farm business profits in all Australian states and all industries, for broad acre farming,” Bowen said. “The good seasonal conditions have resulted in a substantial improvement in (production).” With few exceptions, the 2011-12 fiscal year was a good time to be an Australian farmer. Total export values for all farm commodities rose 9.4 percent to $35.5 billion. Farm exports for the current fiscal year also look bright, with total export values for 2012-13 projected at $35.1 billion. That’s down slightly from 2011 but well above the 10-year average. Despite a strong Australian dollar, the export value of most broad acre commodities took a significant jump in 2011-12.

The impact of Australia’s strong currency on export volumes was offset by higher international prices for wheat, barley, oilseeds, wool, beef and other key products, said Bowen. At the same time, Australian farmers continued to rebuild livestock inventories and reduce farm debt. “The improved seasonal conditions since 2009-10 have led to an increase in cattle and sheep numbers,” Bowen said. “Herd and flock numbers sizes have increased by around 12 to 15 percent during those two years.” The outlook for Australian farm exports looks bright well into the future, added Paul Morris, executive director of the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Science. Export earnings from almost all commodities are expected to remain strong for the next five years, he said. “Over the medium term, to 201617, the value of farm exports is projected to be maintained around the current level in real terms,” Morris said. ABARES is forecasting that Australian export earnings will rise two percent for canola in 2012-13, one percent for beef and veal, five percent for wine, nine percent for cotton and 22 percent for sheep meat. Export values for other key commodities will also be strong, although prices for wheat, barley and oilseeds,

the country’s three biggest broad acre crops, are projected to drop by seven percent. Bowen said farmers in the state of Western Australia were expected to record a 20 percent year-over-year increase in farm cash incomes in 2011-12, the largest single-year increase ever. The increase was based largely on the combination of high export volumes of wheat and high prices. Western Australia is normally Australia’s largest wheat producer. It is also sparsely populated and has relatively small feeding and milling industries, meaning most of its production is exported. The average farm cash income for Australian sheep farms in 2011-12 was also expected to be the highest since 1988-89, Bowen added. Live cattle exports is one of the few blemishes on the Australian export ledger. The northern half of the country depends heavily on live cattle exports, which are sent to nearby Asian markets, primarily Indonesia, for feeding and slaughter. But last year, shipments to Indonesia were suspended after animal welfare activists raised concerns about the treatment of Australianborn animals in Indonesian slaughter facilities. The suspension of trade had a significant financial impact on northern producers. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Nitrogen Miser Cold, hard facts about temperature and N loss By Shawn Colborn Shawn Colborn

As producers move up their seeding dates, early spring weather often can feel more like winter than summer. But even as growers begin to plan their ﬁeldwork, keep in mind that not even low temperatures can stop the process of nitrogen loss known as volatilization. Recent studies conﬁrm that volatilization can be a problem even on frozen soil. That’s because a number of factors interact to cause volatility loss. Urease, the enzyme that breaks down urea in the soil, remains active even when temperatures drop below freezing. The good news, however, is that AGROTAIN® nitrogen stabilizer also remains active in cold weather. A study by Dr. Rick Engel at

Montana State University (http://landresources.montana. edu/ureavolatilization) compared unprotected urea with urea that had been treated with AGROTAIN® stabilizer. On average in the 10 campaigns, 22.4 percent of the nitrogen from the unprotected urea had been lost to the air. In contrast, the urea treated with AGROTAIN® stabilizer had lost 8 percent on average of its total N in the same campaigns. The main indication of the research is that N loss is affected by a number of factors in addition to temperature — such as soil moisture conditions, crop residue, windy or dry conditions, and soil CEC. And with weather variability, stabilized nitrogen becomes

important for today’s growers and applicators. Spring weather can change quickly in most production areas. But your best chance of success is applying when rainfall or wet snow occurs within a few weeks after application. Regardless of the current conditions or the forecast, investing in AGROTAIN® stabilizer is proven to keep more nitrogen in the soil; whether it’s hot or cold, wet or dry.

Farms are flooded near the town of Forbes, Australia, about 400 kilometres west of Sydney, March 8. | nities struggling to cope with rising water. Across the state, an estimated 13,000 people were evacuated from their homes last week and thousands more were cut off from nearby communities by flooding and washed out roads. Paul Morris, executive director of the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Science, which monitors agricultural production and markets, said it is too early to predict how summer crop production in New South Wales will be affected. Irrigated farms and graziers are likely to endure economic losses this

year, but the abundant moisture will pay dividends down the road, he said. Drought conditions have persisted across much of eastern Australia over much of the past decade, and water levels in many rivers and creeks were minimal to non-existent. In some irrigated areas, reservoir levels had fallen to disturbingly low levels, prompting concerns among farmers that use of water for irrigation purposes might be restricted. Flooding this year has defused those concerns, at least temporarily. “During the height of the drought, in the Murray-Darling Basin, which is kind of the main producing area in

eastern Australia, the dam levels were around 25 percent full for quite a number of years,” Morris said. “Within a single year, from the end of 2010 … the dam levels went from about that 25 percent level to about 80 percent full, so just a dramatic increase … and the rainfall we’ve had just recently is going to top those up even a bit more.… That’s going to produce a very good base for the next two or three years in terms of irrigated production.” Morris said it is still premature to predict how flood waters will affect winter crop production. Water levels in many areas are likely to recede over the next few weeks and

if that happens, farmers could start the year with ideal planting conditions. “For the eastern states, subsoil moisture is really important, so the rain we’ve had recently should provide us with a very good base for the start of the planting season.” Meanwhile, calls for government assistance continued to grow as residents of New South Wales and northern Victoria began assessing the damage to homes, farms, businesses and rural infrastructure. Prime minister Julia Gillard toured Wagga Wagga and other hard hit areas of New South Wales last week and pledged flood support.

CANBERRA, Aus. — Australia, known as the Land Down Under, is beginning to look more like the Lake Down Under. He av y ra i n c o nt i nu e d t o f a l l throughout the Australian states of New South Wales and Victoria last week, and surging runoff caused dozens of rivers and creeks to breach their banks, wreaking havoc in key agricultural areas. Significant flooding in southern, central and western New South Wales and northeastern Victoria has already caused significant damage to grazing land and irrigated summer crops, including cotton and rice. Producers of dryland winter crops such as wheat, barley and canola are also looking nervously ahead, wondering if their fields will dry in time to permit seeding. Growers in eastern Australia normally plant winter crops in April, May and early June. “It’s just a pile of water where we live,” said Matthew Duff, a dryland farmer from Forbes, NSW, about 400 kilometres west of Sydney. “We farm in a low-lying area so we tend to get flooded out every 20 years or so.” Duff normally seeds 10,000 acres to winter crops each year, including 6,000 acres of wheat, 2,000 acres of barley and 2,000 of canola. This year, he is unlikely to plant more than 3,000 acres. More than two-thirds of his land is under water and will not dry in time for planting. “The fortunate thing is that we haven’t spent the money (on seed and fertilizer) yet.” Forbes, located on the Lachlan River, is one of several NSW commu-

FARM SAFETY | CHILDREN

Child safety guidelines for agricultural jobs provide Seeking safety | Foundation develops guidelines to help farmers assess dangers BY DARLENE POLACHIC FREELANCE WRITER

Farms may be a great place to raise children, but they also present parents with safety challenges. The top five causes of hospitalized injuries in farm children younger than 19 were animal events, machine entanglements, falls from height, machine runovers and being pinned or struck by a machine. Animal-related injuries ranked first for children in the younger than four and 10 to 14 age groups. Data from the Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) show that two-thirds of fatal agricultural injury events among children and youth involve agricultural machines. Children aged one to four account for the largest percentage of machine-related and non-machine deaths. Seventy percent of children and youth killed in such events were children or other relatives of the owner-operator. The Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation has responded by developing the North American Guidelines for Children’s Agricultural Tasks (NAGCAT). They were prepared with the help of child development experts, farm safety specialists, far m injur y researchers and focus groups of farm parents and other members of the farming community. A job hazard analysis was conducted for each task and then matched to the developmental skills required to safely do the task. Guidelines were developed for more than 60 jobs in which farm children and youth may be involved and were organized in an easy-to-read and understand format. They are available at www.nagcat.com and from most farm safety groups in Canada. “It is ultimately up to the parent to determine where a particular child is developmentally, and relative to the norm,” said Louise Hagel, a professional research associate with the University of Saskatchewan’s Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture (CCHSA). “We recommend that parents follow the guidelines closely.” The NAGCAT researchers found that no job or farmyard activity is appropriate for children younger than seven. “Children that young don’t have the judgment, the developmental skills, or the reaction time to be exposed to farm work-related hazards,” Hagel said. She said children younger than seven shouldn’t be in the work area at all. “There are many cases of young children who have been crushed beneath heavy objects such as machinery tires or steel gates while playing in and around the farm shop or barn. “Taking children into the work area is just too risky. Little children move fast and it is very difficult for an adult

to provide the constant supervision that is required, especially when the adult is trying to do his or her own work at the same time.” The guidelines also recommend that young children should never be taken to the field unless they are forced to remain in the car or truck. “Bystander runovers are a leading cause of fatal injuries in preschoolaged children on farms. “One scenario occurs when children are taken to the field where combines and trucks are operating. The adults think the child is in one of the other machines, when in fact they are on the ground. The machines

move and the child is run over. “Another type of event occurs when children are in the vicinity of a machine that is being started and the machine lurches forward, crushing the youngster.”

Hagel said children should also never be taken on farm machines or vehicles as an extra rider. This practice has resulted in many deaths of farm children younger than 15, she added. “With young children, it involves the simple physics of it. For example, when the tractor bounces, an adult is heavy enough so they don’t bounce high or land hard. A lightweight child can easily be bounced right off the machine or vehicle and run over.” The NAGCAT website provides information in the form of posters on a wide variety of farm tasks for children older than seven.

Specific farm tasks are addressed in terms of adult responsibilities, hazards involved, cautions, the developmental skills required to do the job and a checklist to help determine whether the child is ready or able to do the task. The guidelines also outline the training the child should have before undertaking the task, the age appropriateness for related tasks and the amount of supervision required. For example, children aged seven to nine who work with poultry could feed the birds using a feed cart if the job is limited to 15 minutes and the child is under constant supervision.

e parents with hazard analysis A 10- or 11-year-old could feed poultry, collect eggs and clean the poultry house, but only for 20 minutes at a time and with periodic checks. The reason for the time limits is that accidents are more likely to happen when a child becomes tired or bored. No child younger than 12 should be allowed to drive a tractor, including lawn tractors. The guidelines suggest that children older than 12 are capable of operating tractors smaller than 70 horsepower if the machine is equipped with a seatbelt and rollover protection. They should also wear a helmet.

“Helmets are recommended when children are riding horses, as well,” Hagel said. “Falls from animals (mostly horses) are one of the main causes of head injury for children on farms.” Another potential hazard on farms and elsewhere is off-road vehicles. The guidelines recommend that children younger than 16 should not operate an adult ATV. If parents do allow their children to ride ATVs, they need to ensure that the children ride only ATVs that are appropriate for their age, weight and maturity. It is important to follow the manufacturers’ recommendations.

Operators should wear approved helmets with face and eye protection. Serious or fatal injuries occur when children fall from ATVs and strike their heads or are runover. Children have also died in ATV rollov e r s w h e n t h e y w e re p i n n e d beneath the ATV and the weight of the machine asphyxiated them. A recent farm injury study conducted by the CCHSA observed that parents’ long work hours also influence the health of their young children. At busy times, parents use many strategies to cope with child supervision issues, some of which put their

work when farm operators report excessively long work hours. The centre recommends that farm families do farm safety walkabouts that begin in the house and visit all areas of potential concern on the farm. These would include the farmyard, farm buildings, farm machinery and water hazards. A workbook checklist available from aghealthandsafety@usask.ca asks a variety of questions: • are children forbidden to play in or around livestock areas? • are all agrichemicals stored in a locked building, room or cabinet? • are warning signs posted about these chemical dangers? • are manure pits covered with sturdy grids or locked covers to prevent entry? Suggested topics of family discussion include the dangers of playing near animals such as cows with young calves, dairy bulls and dogs. Discussion is encouraged on how to approach animals safely and the importance of having a preplanned escape route from corrals. Hagel said the frequency of child injuries on the farm increases in the summer, probably because children are out of school and are more likely to be present on farm worksites. “The good news is that the rate of fatal farm injuries among children has been steadily decreasing in the last few years,” she said. “We think that there are a several reasons for that. First, there has been a concerted effort over the past 15 to 20 years to raise awareness in the farm community about farm child safety. Many resources have been made available to parents and schools to promote safety. “These include such things as farm safety days, which are provided through schools and other farm organizations and supported by the Canadian Agriculture Safety Association. Parents now have free and easy access to resources such as the NAGCAT guidelines.” She said realities on the farm have also changed. “In addition to farming, many farm parents work at off-farm jobs and make arrangements for child care off the farm. This takes very young children away from the potential hazards. Also, parents working at off-farm jobs are exposed to safety training and they bring that safety wisdom home with them.” “We believe the decrease in child farm fatalities indicates that farm parents are making better safety choices for their children. “We hope this trend will continue and that soon we can say not one child was killed on the farm in Canada.”

GENETICS | PATENT PROTECTION

TIME’S UP:

What happens when genetics patents run out?

Changing roles | Rules needed to maintain regulatory requirements BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Patents are coming off of the original genetically modified crops, but the responsibilities for those genetics and technologies remain. The first GM crop was commercialized in 1996 with the placement of the glyphosate tolerant gene. The first GM biotech patent in Canada expired last year when Roundup Ready soybeans lost some of their patent protection. The same U.S. patent will expire in 2014, and other patents will soon follow. The American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) is preparing to put controls on those genetics as the patents expire. “Maintaining our exports is a big driver here,” said Bernice Slutsky of the association while attending the Commodity Classic in Nashville. “Having a non-approved event in a commodity shipment is a serious issue. We need to be able to provide high quality export products.” The association is hoping to avoid accidents or misuse of those genetics tools in the future. “We want a framework that will transition from a biotech event to a generic event with an accord agre ement. We have a set of principals we h av e a g r e e d to,” she said. Under an

BERNICE SLUTSKY AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION

accord agreement, the seed industry members that own the patented genetics would become part of the accord group, as would anyone who wanted to have access to the off-patent genetics. The accord would give generic users access to information about the technical processes and responsibilities associated with using the technology and require them to pay compensation to the former patent holder for a data transfer or regulatory maintenance. Matt O’Mara of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) said the seed trade association and his group have the same goals. “Just because an event (the placing of genetic material into a specific site within a genome) loses its patent or a regulatory (constraint) in the United States doesn’t mean it’s going to in other parts of the world at the same time, or ever,” O’Mara said. “And we depend on exporting to other parts of the world.” Slutsky said international approval of these technologies can be fickle. “Regulatory requirements are

always evolving,” she said. “Maintaining these, such as Korea recently, is a lot of work. We’d like these to be science based, but it isn’t. You need science know-how and political know-how. These aren’t transparent or predictable.” O’Mara said the cost of maintaining approvals for the use of technology contained in seeds should be the responsibility of those who are profiting from its use, which would include a generic user of the off-patent technology. “We need a process that reflects these obligations,” he said. “What we need is for a new seed company (or farmer organization) to take over the responsibility of the authorizations or stewardship.” One option would be for the originating company to continue that service at a cost. ASTA and BIO are talking about creating an initial notice that a product will come off of patent. A confidentiality agreement would then be available that allows information to be provided about the product so that an interested par ty could decide about regulatory maintenance costs, international regulatory costs and costs related to the use of the genetics. “They need to decide if the event is a good business decision for them,” said O’Mara. The new user must also be qualified either on their own or as a group to maintain and market the product. “We see this in generic (pesticides),” said O’Mara.

Leaders in off-patent solutions.

PRODUCTION He said the accord needs to be able to negotiate and assess the residual value of existing global regulatory data and authorizations for the former patent holder. “A set period of time would have to be in place,” he said. “Data, authorizations and events are made available or transferred to the entities that assume or share regulatory and stewardship responsibilities, (post patent) expiration.” Slutsky said in Canada and the U.S. there aren’t maintenance costs for the first patents that expire, but there are internationally. Monsanto says it plans to maintain the first version of Roundup Ready’s regulatory requirements through 2021. ASTA and BIO said the accord is a legal contract with anyone who wants to take part in the generic marketplace. “It should have a very low threshold cost to get people to enter into the agreement,” Slutsky said. “If the signatory (former patent holder) agrees and that was a grower group, they might not have a responsibility to the accord, but a seed company would.” Signatories should be those who intend to commercialize a product contained in the accord, she added.

GRAIN | DRYING

More study needed on grain drying debate Fan company urges caution when drying grain | Producers should stay cool and dry with best past practices BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An aeration fan manufacturer is advising farmers to stick with past practices until more research is completed. Imre Varro of Edwards Group in Alberta, which makes Grain Guard fans, said producers should take note of recent research that calls for intermittent aeration strategies but wait for further research before adopting it on their farms. “Provincial and state ag departments, universities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Minnesota and North

Dakota have all looked at this before,” Varro said. “Farmers have proven the processes we rely on now, and they work. So let’s keep using them until more research is in.” He said research has shown that the relationship between relative humidity, air and grain temperatures determines the rate at which grain dries. To assume that air at a certain temperature is at a particular relative humidity is incorrect, he added. These conditions, relative to each other, vary greatly throughout the fall. “Weather conditions in Western

Canada are widely varied from year to year and even through a particular harvest season,” he said. “There are so many variables that it is wise to look at test results taken over several years, performed under varied weather conditions, at different locations and points in the season and by more than one independent laboratory.” Controlled conditions are required for the testing to be valuable, he said. “When a producer starts his fan to natural air-dry, a drying front in the bin begins,” he said. “This is a band of grain that spreads

horizontally through the bin, where the grain is giving off the most moisture (sweating) to the dry air travelling through the grain.” Varro said 20 years of producer feedback and several studies have shown that once the drying front has started, it is advisable not to stop fans until the front has moved completely through the grain. A few hours of stopping airflow can result in stagnant moisture and kick start the moulding process. If this happens, grain within the drying front will crust and it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to effectively move air through the grain.

YOUR SOIL IS YOUR FUTURE MATT O’MARA BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION

O’Mara said patent holders have obligations to their data and technology that could extend to liability if an event were to cause a market disruption even after the expiry of patent protection. ASTA and BIO are meeting in the next month to complete their plans for an accord process. By the end of 2023, 23 biotechnology patents on plant traits and processes filed before 2006 will expire. Trish Jordan of Monsanto says that while the first possibility to grow offpatent soybeans will take place in 2013, the canola patents will not expire for several more years. “There is some time to work out the details,” she said. Patty Townsend of the Canadian Seed Trade Association said there was an early start to setting up a Canadian industry strategy to deal with what will happen within in the seed business as those patents enter the generic realm. Despite talks beginning four years ago, there has been little progress. “We will be watching the American process and talking with our (counterparts) at the ASTA,” she said. “There might be something that we can all learn from or take part in,” she said. Pioneer Hi-Bred, like other genetics owners and developers, has taken the position that despite the expiry of one patent on their Roundup Ready soybeans, there are other patents and registrations on their technology that still apply and technology use agreements still apply to their products. Steve Schnebly said his company expects most producers will want the latest in yield and stress management technology as it is available and doesn’t see a big rush for growers toward older technologies as patents expire.

RESEARCH | WHEAT

Researcher on mission to raise wheat yields Profitability, yields need to rise | Wheat acres in U.S. have dropped to 12 million from 21 million since the 1980s increasing pressure from more profitable corn and soybeans. Researcher Jochum Wiersma doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if wheat will ever be king again in Minnesota, but he hopes his research on ways to increase wheat yields will give it a fighting chance. Wheat acres across the United States have dropped from 21 million acres to 12 million since the 1980s. Minnesota has seen an even steeper drop from less than three million acres to slightly more than one million as more farmers replace wheat with soybeans and corn,

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Minneapolis was once known as Mill City, the flour milling capital of the world. Dozens of mills lined the Mississippi River at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peak in the late 1800s. The Washburn A mill could grind enough flour in a day for12 million loaves of bread. The boom times for flour mills in Minneapolis and the position of wheat as the main crop in Minnesota are long gone. Wheat is under

said Wiersma, a small grains specialist with the University of Minnesota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wheat is really under pressure in Minnesota,â&#x20AC;? he told farmers during FarmTech 2012. Soybean acres in the state have increased to seven million from five million in the 1980s. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a similar story with corn, which has replaced traditional wheat acres because of the later harvest season. The northern line where corn is grown used to jump 16 kilometres a year but is now making leaps of 80 km a year.

Wiersma is worried. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys harvest 140 to 160 bushels per acre of corn. They are comfortable leaving it in the stand in November and even harvesting it in March. The advantage is they can harvest it when the snow has melted and the ground still frozen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting comfortable with those risks.â&#x20AC;? Wheat yields must increase and the crop become more profitable if it is to continue being grown in Minnesota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to stay competitive with the other commodities,â&#x20AC;? said Wiers-

ma, whose research is trying to keep wheat profitable and in the rotation. Wiersmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research has discovered a few keys to keeping wheat yields high: â&#x20AC;˘ Getting the ideal number of seeds in the ground in the spring is key. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stand count is the easiest and fastest way to start out right,â&#x20AC;? he said. It is a way for farmers to verify whether they achieved their goal of calibrating drills and getting the correct amount of seed in the ground. The old recommendation of 28 plants per sq. foot has increased to 30 to 32 plants per sq. foot, depending on the variety. That number should increase by one plant per sq. foot for each week of delay past optimum crop seeding. Wheat needs to be seeded as early as possible to take advantage of cool spring weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get it in the ground every year by the first and second week of April if I could get away with it.â&#x20AC;? April 15 for northwestern Minnesota is ideal. Seeding earlier than that is great, but seeding later is a worry. â&#x20AC;˘ Fungicide management is key to suppressing disease and maximizing yields. The recommended time to apply fungicide to suppress fusarium head blight in wheat is Feekes 10.51, which is the growth stage when the spike is completely emerged from the boot and the pollen set has just started. There is no disadvantage in delaying the application in the absence of leaf rust pressure. Feekes 10.51 works for the entire spectrum of diseases. There is no penalty for delaying from Feekes 9, when the flag leaf is fully extended, if pressure from leaf rust and other leaf diseases is light. There also seems to be no penalty in delaying fungicide treatment to Feekes 10.5 to control all disease and suppressing fusarium head blight in a single application. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In almost all scenarios, you can get away with a single application at 10.51.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ There doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be a way for farmers to achieve both high protein and high yield. Wiersma said he is often asked if farmers can blend high protein and high yielding wheat to achieve ideal crops that are less susceptible to disease and lodging. He has blended wheat varieties at 3:1, 1:1 and 1:3 but concluded it was too difficult to match ideal spraying times with two different wheat varieties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little or no advantage to blending. It only complicates things.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Achieving the right balance of nitrogen to get the elusive high yield and 14 percent protein combination is important to maximizing profits. Added nitrogen tends to boost wheat past the ideal 14 percent protein level. European farmers use split applications to boost protein levels from eight or nine up to 14, but Wiersma said it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be as effective in raising protein levels in Minnesota. Added nitrogen usually maximizes grain yields more than it increases grain protein. Some research shows the amount of nitrogen needed to boost protein is higher than the amount needed for maximum yields.

Electronic gadgetry can do a better job than the human eye when it comes to picking the right path for your ditcher. | JOHN GEHRER PHOTO

BRANDON — John Gehrer would likely say there is no single best combinatino of GPS control systems to manage field drainage. The Niverville, Man., farmer spent last summer comparing drainage control technologies. He also does custom spraying and drainage work, and has been using GPS since 1997. In a recent presentation, he touched on the everyday plus and minus factors of lasers, WAAS (wide area augmentation sys-

tem), cellular phone networks, RTK (real time kinematic), laptop versus actual screens and individual and networked tall tower base stations. He said laser systems are not obsolete, despite what GPS sales people might say. “I talked to quite a few farmers about this last summer, and a lot of them are still buying lasers for drainage,” he said. Not everyone has jumped on the high end RTK bandwagon, either, he added. “The main advantage is that it access=subscriber section=production,crops,news

(laser) gives you more independence and reliability. Plus it’s very accurate,” said Gehrer. “You can combine GPS and laser to build a very accurate topography map based on elevations from your laser and directional latitude/longitude from a very basic GPS.” He said distance is the main drawback with the laser. Farmers cannot possibly map two adjacent sections with a single setup. The laser needs line of sight, so hills also limit the coverage area. With a pure GPS system, the operator simply drives along and the GPS follows the contour of the land. Gehrer said the laser works best on a quarter section. It’s possible to do an entire section with a single setup, but only if it’s flat and there’s no wind. The laser tower is susceptible to wind movement because it must be so high. It’s time to shut down when the signal can be seen going up and down on the mast. “The laser beam has to be at the same height as your mast, usually 10 or 12 feet. Some guys go higher, above the cab, so the mast has a totally round view. “So then you need a large tripod or an extra truck in the field, which has to remain stationary. That means dragging one more piece of machinery into the field. “Set-up time is another issue for me. I was custom spraying while I was conducting these comparisons last summer. I always want zero setup time so I don’t waste valuable spraying time.” WAAS versus high-end RTK is an ongoing debate. WAAS is still subscription-free and works well for steering in southeastern Manitoba, where Gehrer farms. He said one-foot accurac y is acceptable to him for guiding his air seeder and sprayer. “In 14 years of using WAAS, I’ve only had to stop work once because of a lost signal. It’s extremely reliable compared to other systems. “I’ve found that RTK goes out a lot. You get a fuzzy signal unless all the components are working together. The more factors that must work together, the more chance you have of things going wrong. Everything has to be just right. “I think if I was seeding corn with RTK, I would definitely not want to lose my signal. I would want a tower in my field so I knew I could finish the job.” Tall tower base stations are used independently and in networks. For the comparison, Gehrer tried a single base station on top of a Harvestore. He said zero set-up time is one big advantage, provided the operator turns the system on as soon as he gets in the cab, giving it five or ten minutes to warm up and dial in its accuracy. Gehrer, who does custom work within a 50 kilometre radius, said the single base station on a tall tower does not fit his custom business. “You can go anywhere that tower serves, but that limits you to a five mile (eight km) radius. This is good for a farmer who has a nice tall structure like

a grain leg or a Harvestore, and has all his fields within that five mile radius.” Gehrer said the high base station provides good, ditching-quality RTK signals within that circle, as long as there’s a line of sight from the machine to the tower. “Beyond the five miles, you have to ask yourself what degree of accuracy you really need. Can you get by with sprayer accuracy or do you need high quality RTK for drainage?” The single base station mounted on a tall tower is typically owned by the farmer who owns the land. The other arrangement is a network

of many towers owned and managed by a local ag business such as a fertilizer or equipment dealer. Each producer buys a subscription and receives a code for each tower. He punches in the code for the tower nearest to the field in which he’s working. If the towers are located close enough, the network system can eliminate the problem of diminishing signal beyond the eight km circle. That advantage is lost if the tower network is not tight enough. “When I was working with the tower network, I found that five miles beyond the chosen tower, the accuracy was not good enough for ditching. You need 100 percent elevation accuracy for ditching. Whatever system you use, the elevation accuracy always drops off more quickly than the left-right steering accuracy.” Cellphone networks are common in areas served by a good pattern of towers. The principle is the same as the tall tower base station scheme, but the cell-

SoilActiveTM technology.

phone does not require line of sight. “The other difference is the cell network accesses a number of towers at the same time, which gives it a lot better accuracy. And there’s no need for a farmer to be as close to a tower as he would need to be with the base station on a tall tower. “I think for my ditching work, the cellular network should be OK.” Gehrer said it’s easy for farmers to test the viability of the cell network for their own farm. Simply try to make a cellphone call from each field. If there’s no cell signal, then they know

for sure the cellular network won’t work for steering guidance. He said it not only depends on how close they are to cell towers but also how smoothly the cell phone system is running on any particular day. “One big advantage is that when the cellular network goes down, it comes back by itself. If I lose signal for a few minutes while I’m ditching, it doesn’t matter because I can still work on the sides of the ditches, so I’m not wasting time.” Fa r m e r s a l s o h av e t o d e c i d e between laptop or actual screen when

making major upgrades and changes. “The actual screen comes with the original software. There’s no choice. But the screen is pretty pricey,” Gehrer said. “If you already have a laptop, you can buy a good drainage program somebody has written for your laptop. There are many small companies in that business today. I have a program on my laptop for elevation and mapping. I was surprised at how good it was.” Gehrer said the question is how much support and how many upgrades will farmers get on a continued basis from a small company, and how much subscription money do they have to pay. “What if he sells you a really good topography program, but after two years he closes up because he’s not making enough money? You’re left stranded. But the drainage software from someone like John Deere or Case won’t go away. It will only get better. They’ll stand behind it.” Gehrer said farmers who don’t want to waste time trying to make a new program work should buy the factory program that matches the colour of their tractor. “If you’re the kind of farmer who likes to dabble and explore and play around with things, then I’d say try the aftermarket software. The aftermarket drainage programs work quite well and they cost less money. “As for the $30,000 high end systems, I can’t see the payback. I have about $16,000 invested and that gives me full ditching-caliber RTK. And I pay an annual subscription fee.” For more information, contact Gehrer at 866-860-6086 or johngehrer@yahoo.ca.

Vehicle electronics tuned to help trailer sway go away GETTING AROUND

CHARLES RENNY

Technology has made life easier, but drivers remain in control

way control is not trying to stand up straight at the bar after having a few libations too many. It is the act of trying to keep a trailer where it’s supposed to be. Trailers move around behind their tow vehicles for many reasons : improper loading, gusting winds and oncoming semis. In the bad old days before electronics, those who pulled trailers often learned the hard way about proper towing techniques. The towing industry also came out with mechanical aids such as load leveller hitches with large torsion bars to help stiffen things. Today, electronics do most of the work and can compensate for many things that once put drivers in the ditch. The first serious attempt at making it easier to pull a trailer came from General Motors. Quadra Steer was a system similar to large agricultural tractors. The GM system had crab steering, as well as four-wheel steering and trailer control logic in its tiny electronic brain. Sensors detected body movement and sent corrections to the front and rear steering systems to dampen out the unwanted movement. In effect, this used the truck to dampen out trailer sway. The driver didn’t have to do a thing and the system was good enough that no one noticed what was going on 99 percent of the time. Unfortunately, it was an expensive option and offered only on top end Silverado and Sierra units for two years. The second generation of trailer sway controls used the same sensors, but this time the ABS formed the basis for control. Algorithms were added to the electronic controls and pulling a trailer became a bit easier. However, these systems didn’t control what the trailer was doing, which meant pulling a medium weight trailer could still turn knuckles white. The third generation became pos-

sible when manufacturers incorporated electronic brake controllers at the factory. The big advantage was that the built-in controller was more sensitive to adjustment than the aftermarket units. This had little to do with the quality of the aftermarket system but a lot to do with the advantages of an integrated system. From this point, it was a small step to integrating other systems such as the trailer brakes themselves. When the systems were separate, there were only two ways to control a trailer when it started to move around: either accelerate to get it back in line or use trailer brakes to pull everything back into line.

Either one could put you in the ditch if you made a mistake, usually trailer first. The other issue with manual control is that by the time 90 percent of drivers could react, the trailer had already started on its second arc and any steering input the driver made was too late All most of us could do was hang on and not back off because that only made the problem worse. If you had only surge brakes and no electric ones, you were in for an interesting ride no matter what you did. Think of the latest systems in your new truck as generation 3.5. Most sway control systems now feature a brake control system of some

sort that activates trailer brakes as well as using individual wheel brakes to dampen out unwanted movements of the truck body. If you have electric power steering, you may have a system that dampens out some of the sway action on the front axle and sharpens the system’s reaction time to your inputs so you don’t get behind in your steering. No matter how you do it, the new systems make life easier for those of us who once did it the hard way. And it keeps those who haven’t learned the hard way on the road. If there is a total system failure, the master computer is gone and the least of your problems will be what the trailer is doing. It could be bad.

Partial system failures will toss a system repair code that your dealer can find and use to turn on one of several repair-warning lights. You will have to slow down and go back to the old system, where you had to use your head for more than keeping your ears apart. One other point. If you don’t pay attention and feel you can depend totally on the computer, you can still get yourself into so much trouble that the system can’t get you out. You still need to know the basic do’s and don’ts of trailer pulling. Charles Renny is an automotive columnist and a member of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada.

RESEARCH | SHARING INFORMATION

Organic industry must share research information

BRENDA FRICK

rganic researchers met in Winnipeg in late February to share results at the first Organic Science Cluster Conference. Organic research has been augmented under a science cluster funding arrangement from Agricul-

ture Canada through the Organic Federation of Canada to the Organic A g r i c u l t u re C e nt re o f Ca na d a (OACC). This funding arrangement began in September 2010 and will run until March 2013. The OACC worked with at least 80 researchers in 45 research institutions to deliver on 30 research projects. The presenters included researchers working on science cluster projects as well as international experts invited to share in the exchange. Here are the highlights: State of organics Ralph Martin from the University of

Guelph said organic agriculture has been recognized as a sustainable science-based agricultural system in the last decade. “We can claim science and we are,” he said. Gunta Vitins, who runs Vitins Consulting in Vancouver and has worked in Canada’s organic sector for years, described the Canadian organic sector as one of the world’s top 10 organic markets with a history of tremendous growth. However, she expressed concern about its continuing health in the face of declining producer numbers, competing “natural” claims and non-regulated intra-provincial trade.

She urged the organic sector to do more “to support new entrants, encourage producers to maintain certification, provide knowledge transfer and encourage conversion.” Environmental benefits Derek Lynch, Canada Research Chair in Organic Agriculture at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, said agriculture uses 50 percent of the world’s land base. Organic agriculture offers multifaceted benefits such as a lower environmental footprint, better energy efficiency and more biological activity in the soil. The question for the future is

whether we can partner with consumers, find innovative approaches and transform agriculture to benefit society. Sarah Braman of the University of Manitoba compared organic and conventional plots with a restored native prairie. She found that organic and native prairie areas returned to normal more quickly after flooding and showed more resiliency than conventional plots. Celine Boutin from Environment Canada argued that maintaining biodiversity within agricultural areas should be a primary goal for farmers. Organic farming is linked to greater biodiversity, both in fields and in the hedgerows and shelterbelts beside the fields. She found more plant and bird species and organisms in general in organically managed fields and hedgerows than in those managed conventionally. “Organic farming favours biodiversity,” she said. Kathleen Delate of Iowa State University found no significant differences between organic yields and average Iowa county yields, but did find economic and environmental benefits. Organic fields had lower overall cost of production and higher net returns. Organic also had better overall soil quality, better nitrogen mineralization potential, higher levels of soil organic carbon, better carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse gas production than conventional agriculture. Economic benefits

LCO Promoter Technology

Mohammed Khakbazan of Agriculture Canada asked why consumer demand has not prompted more farmers to adopt organic practices. In a study in Prince Edward Island, he found that organic potato production had higher net revenues and was more profitable than conventional production, but was still considered high risk by conventional producers. Harun Cicek of the University of Manitoba talked about farmers’ lack of income during green manure crops and the potential for grazed green manures. He compared sheep grazing to tillage incorporation as ways of terminating a variety of green manure crops. “Grazing green manures increased nitrogen availability to following crops, sometimes causing yield increases,” he said. “As such, grazing by sheep has the potential to augment the value of green manures.” Extension

ORGANIC MATTERS

Frank Kutka of North Dakota State University reviewed the development of extension services for farmers and how they have always been seen as essential in the United States. Web based platforms are now being used to allow constant access to information, from online print resources to YouTube and Twitter. The diversity of organic research is deeply satisfying. Organic has become a valid research topic. Researchers are carving out projects that express a wide range of interest.

EQUIPMENT | BREAKING THE SUBSOIL

Farmers wrestle hardpan with Sumo Compaction hinders drainage | Subsoil cultivator breaks up clay to improve water penetration BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Many farmers are blame hardpan for their flooded fields and standing surface water. The theory behind blaming flooded fields on soil compaction is that water goes only as deep as the loose topsoil in a wet year. When it hits the compacted layer, it stops moving and ponds up. Loose topsoil becomes saturated like a thick soup, but soil below the hardpan layer doesn’t get the drink it

needs. As a result, it can become drier than the topsoil. Some producers are pointing more than an accusing finger. They’re also pointing hard cold steel and high horsepower at the offender. Rolly Waters of Brandon carried out field tests last year with a Case ripper he borrowed from a neighbour. “The roots were healthier and went a lot deeper in the strips where we ran the deep tiller,” he said. Those good results encouraged him to buy a Sumo subsoiler. “We moved here from the United

Kingdom five years ago. We had a Sumo subsoiler over there, so we already knew how it works,” he said. “We farmed heavy clay and we were at sea level, so it was necessary to do every field every year.” Mick Cornwall farms near Carlyle, Sask., with a range of soil on his 7,600 acres. He said he has compaction, but with such a varying landscape, the compaction runs from zero to serious. Cornwall imported Canada’s first Sumo last year. He has since sold it and bought a second generation

Sumo. He said the new subsoiler does not have discs. “Last year we ran anywhere from eight inches down to 18 inches, trying to find the right depth, the sweet spot,” he said. “We seem to have the most compaction at six inches to eight inches. So this year we’ll run at 10 to 12 inches, just slightly under the hardpan. My plan is to do 25 percent of the farm per year, but that depends on the weather.” Subsoiling 1,900 acres every fall with a 19-foot cultivator at a ground

The unusual shovels protrude radically ahead of the leg, creating a wedge that ripples and cracks the soil ahead of it. | RON LYSENG PHOTO speed of four m.p.h. might seem like an impossible task, but it’s not quite what Cornwall has in mind. “After we’ve done the whole farm once, we’ll have a better idea which areas to leave alone and which areas need more attention in the future. The other thing to consider is that in the right conditions, we can run at seven m.p.h. when we’ve got the machine set at eight inches. So that speeds things up.” He said breaking up of the hardpan isn’t the only point of using a subsoiler. “Aeration is important. Wherever you run the Sumo, you end up with loose fluffy soil under the top firm layer. That means oxygen is getting into your soil, and that is important.” Lincoln Wolfe of Portage la Prairie, Man., said compaction is a problem even in his area’s light soil. “It’s mainly a sandy loam, but as you dig deeper it becomes more of a clay. That’s where the compaction starts,” he said. Wolfe bought a nine-leg Sumo subsoiler to attack the problem. “We did a little bit of testing with it last fall,” he said. “Of course, we won’t really know how well it worked until spring, but we’re happy with the condition of the soil. It left a smooth firm seedbed.” Arthur Bell used deep rippers regularly where he farmed in Ireland before moving to Boissevain 12 years ago. He bought a nine-leg Sumo subsoiler this winter. “We have a clay-loam soil, and we get our worst compaction in the headlands,” said Bell. “Roots and water just cannot penetrate the compacted layer. And in a dry year, even if there is some moisture below, the roots can’t get to it. The only solution is you must go in with a machine to break it up. I expect to do 20 percent of my land each year. So each field gets done about once every five years.” However, the implications go beyond immediate crop damage in the year of the flood and mud. It also affects future crop years because the lower soil horizons have been deprived of the moisture necessary to replenish long-term reserves. Even if producers use a ripper to give roots a chance to go deep, moisture in the lower zones may be far less than what was hoped. In e s s e n c e, i t ’s a m a n - m a d e drought. “I’d say compaction is part of the reason for surface flooding,” says Waters. The problem compounds in a dry season because the soil above the pan dries out quickly and the roots are helpless. Although Waters’ farm generally has light soil, he said proper internal drainage is impossible because of the thick hardpan at a depth of eight to ten inches.

Demand rising for blended energy Biomethane, natural gas blend | Environmentally conscious consumers willing to pay more BY JEFFREY CARTER

FREELANCE WRITER

LONDON, Ont. — The good intentions of home and business owners is creating a demand for biomethane in British Columbia. Scott Gramm, a representative of FortisBC Energy Inc., said consumers are willing to pay more for a blend of 10 percent biomethane and 90 percent natural gas. “For them, it’s not just about the cheapest cost,” he told the Growing the Margins conference held in London March 5. “There’s an element of doing the right thing for the environment and an element about doing the right thing for sustainability.” The percentage of actual biomethane in FortisBC’s distribution system is less than 10 per cent. Gram said most of the company’s one million customers pay the lower price for natural gas — $5.225 per gigajoule — even though they may also be burning some biomethane.

Quicker emergence Many farmers. Many benefits. David Nagel farms 13,600 acres near Mossbank, SK. This is his experience. “We’ve got a split-field this year of canola with JumpStart, no-JumpStart on the seed. The canola treated with JumpStart seems to have a little more root mass on it than the untreated. The emergence seemed to be quite a bit quicker…and colour-wise the plants looked a deeper green, healthier colour to begin with. And as we got into swathing time,

More than 1,200 residential and a handful of commercial buyers have signed up to the program. Their blended price works out to $5.89 per gigajoule and they get a 10 percent credit on the province’s carbon tax. Gramm said the added cost for the typical homeowner works out to the cost of two or three cups of coffee a month. FortisBC pays $11.696 per gigajoule for its biomethane supply, which is produced by a dairy farm and a landfill. Gramm said increased demand would allow the company to add more suppliers, including two other farm operators, to deliver 500,000 gigajoules of biomethane annually, which is enough fuel for 5,000 homes. Biomethane is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic mater ials. O nce the raw gas is cleaned, it is interchangeable with natural gas. Biomethane, when used for heating, uses far more energy content than what is used to generate electricity.

EMPLOYMENT | TRAINING

Alberta rail line trains workers Battle River Railway | Two week course teaches local residents to become conductors BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ROSALIND, Alta. — Learning to be a railway conductor was too good an opportunity for golf course operator Justin Harty to turn down. Harty was part of a group of 11 central Alberta residents who took a two week training program in Forestburg, Alta., recently to learn how to become conductors on the Battle River Railway that runs through their communities. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Unless you work full time for CN or CP, you’d never have the opportunity,” said Harty, who lives in Bawlf, Alta. Since acquiring its own locomotive from Canadian National Railway in December 2010, the Battle River Railway has relied mostly on volunteer conductors and engineers to drop off and pick up grain cars on the 56-kilometre line between Alliance, Alta. and Camrose. With volunteers wanting to take winter holidays or just have a few weeks off, railway officials put out the word they were looking for people interested in becoming conductors and possibly engineers. “It was more of a community thing of neighbours helping neighbours,” said Harty. “These guys just took over a small railway and the more help the better.” He said he has gained new respect for railway conductors since taking the course. It’s a similar story for Nathan Lunty of Forestburg, who also took the course. “It was just something to do. The train is just something else to do in a small town,” said Lunty, who works as an emergency medical technician. “I always thought it would be fun to play with trains.” Lunty said Forestburg is special. It’s one of the few small towns left on the Prairies with a wooden elevator owned by a local family and a railway line owned by local farmers and residents. “I think this is good for rural living.” Matt Enright, a farmer and grains manager with Battle River Railway, said the lure of the trains was an enticement for many of the local residents who took the course. The train usually operates with a two-person crew of conductor and an engineer. The conductor is in charge of the train, its load and the paperwork. The conductor tells the engineer where and when to stop. The conductor also uncouples the cars and controls the switches on the lines. Since buying the engine more than a year ago, the railway has relied on a skeleton staff to pick up and drop off grain cars. “There was an obvious need for more people,” said Enright. The railway put out the word that it was looking for people interested in becoming conductors and possibly engineers. While older farmers have volunteered their time as conductors, new,

younger conductors are looking at this as another part-time job. The grain trains have run fairly regularly this winter. A train dropped off cars March 7 and picked them up the following day. It was the railway’s 10th grain train of the year. The railway has hauled 500 grain cars this crop year and hopes to haul 800 cars by the end of the year.

TANDEM TRUCK

GIVEAWAY

WINNER!

THE WINNING KEY TO THE $130,000 WORKSTAR TANDEM TRUCK WAS AWARDED AT THE 2012 LETHBRIDGE AG-EXPO! LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — Dow AgroSciences and The Western Producer held one of the keys to farmer excitement at Lethbridge’s 2012 Ag-Expo spring farm trade show Feb. 29 to March 2. While the key was pocket-sized, the excitement was generated by the selection of the winner of a 2012 white and purple tandem-axle grain truck touted by both contest sponsors as one of the biggest farmer give-aways in agriculture history. The truck, valued at $130,000, was purchased from Southland International in Lethbridge. Producers and Ag-Expo participants gathered outside the North Pavilion at Exhibition Park as six finalists chosen randomly from about 4,200 entries made at trade shows across The Prairies and from on-line entries each chose one of six keys. Only one would start the truck. The finalists included Bennett Bayes of Trochu, Alta., Don Furkalo of Grandview and Jacob Mann of Medora, both in Manitoba, and Saskatchewan producers Terry Bentley of Delisle, Robert Olson of Fort Qu’Appelle and Albert Schmirler of Meadstead. Each finalist was called forward, picked a numbered truck key from a container, and attempted to start the truck. Bentley was first to climb into the cab. No luck. Three more producers were foiled. Then second-year University of Saskatchewan agriculture student Bennett Bayes walked up, inserted the key, and turned it, “fingers shaking like never before.” The powerful motor roared to life to a collective roar from the crowd that included his father and partner Harold. Only one finalist was left holding his unused truck key. Bennett promised a first ride to his girlfriend, and perhaps, a drive to park the truck in front of the university building.

The win doubled his truck fleet. Like most farm and ranch boys, Bennett drives a pick-up. Bennett, who works with Harold during summers and many weekends, plans to return for a career on the land. “This truck will stay in Alberta,” says Bennett. An elder sister will soon marry a Claresholm-area rancher and a younger brother and sister are junior high students. The family operates a feedlot and grows canola, wheat, barley, alfalfa and oats on 4,000 acres. Dow AgroSciences President and CEO Jim Wispinski of Calgary, and Western Producer Advertising Director Kelly Berg of Saskatoon, couldn’t contain their excitement for the big-prize contest. The program was tied in with Dow’s new one-pass herbicide Tandem. The rest of the finalists went home with a case of the product for spring application. Wispinski said the contest was an opportunity to share in some of the history of farming in Canada. Many contestants included photos of old farm trucks and stories showcasing the strong connection they have with their trucks used in the production and marketing of commodities over the years. Berg said the contest ties in nicely with the Western Producer. “It was a great partnership for us.”

American beef exports could eclipse Australian totals Live cattle exports expected to rebound | Australia’s strong currency makes meat more expensive

Australia investigates charges of cattle abuse

“With a weaker exchange rate, the U.S. have increased their exports to such an extent that they will become the top exporter this year,” he said on the sidelines of an agriculture industry conference in Canberra. The Aussie dollar fell to a six-week low against the U.S. dollar March 7 after disappointing Australian gross domestic product data, but it was just three U.S. cents away from a sevenmonth high set in late February. Hansen’s projection outstrips estimates in an October 2011 report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,

which expects Australian beef exports to come in at 1.38 million tonnes in 2012, up from 1.35 million tonnes in 2011. According to the USDA report, Australia was the biggest exporter of beef in 2011, followed by Brazil, which shipped 1.325 million tonnes, and the United States at 1.241 million tonnes. The report pegs 2012 U.S. beef exports at 1.25 million tonnes. Live cattle exports from Australia are likely to bounce back in 2012 to 500,000 tonnes, following a drop last year because of a ban on shipments

CANBERRA, Aus. (Reuters) — The United States may become the world’s top beef exporter in 2012. A strong currency in Australia, which is now the world’s No. 1 exporter, makes the country’s meat more expensive. Australia’s exports of the meat are estimated to rise marginally to 1.44 million tonnes in 2012 from 1.4 million tonnes shipped last year, said Scott Hansen, managing director of Meat and Livestock Australia, the marketing arm of Australia’s livestock industry.

to its biggest customer, Indonesia, over mistreatment of livestock. “We see live cattle exports being an impor tant par t of meeting the increasing demand in Southeast Asia,” Hansen said. “We do see live cattle exports growing back this year.” Hansen said there was strong demand for livestock from Southeast Asia and the Middle East, but added Indonesia would remain its top buyer. “There is always potential for growing live cattle exports to the Middle East and Southeast Asia region. However, we see the bulk of our

exports going to Indonesia,” he said. “We will also continue to see an increase in demand for cattle breeding in response to global demand.” Global beef demand was expected to outstrip supply from now to 2016, he added. Australian live cattle exports fell to 320,000 head last year, down 40 percent year-on-year mainly because of the ban. Australia suspended live cattle exports to Indonesia for a month in 2011 after a video showing cows being beaten before slaughter was aired on Australian television.

CANBERRA , Aus. (Reuters) — Australia w ill investigate new images appearing to show cattle being mistreated at an Indonesian abattoir, says agriculture minister Joe Ludwig. It could also reimpose an export ban on the slaughterhouse if it broke animal welfare rules, he added. Australia suspended live cattle exports to Indonesia for a month last year after a video showing cows being beaten and whipped before slaughter was aired on Australian television. The footage outraged many Australians, while the government response angered farmers who said the move jeopardized Australian jobs. Fresh footage that animal rights activists said showed cows being inhumanely treated in an Indonesian abattoir were broadcast in Australia in late February, prompting calls for the country to end the $340 million live cattle trade with its biggest customer, Indonesia. “There will be mistakes, there will be slips, but the system ensures we can deal with those slips and mistakes,” Ludwig said. He said an independent regulator would investigate the latest incident. Under rules introduced after last year’s outcry, the Australian government requires exporters to ensure animal welfare standards are met at the Indonesian abattoirs they supply, and can punish firms that ship cows to slaughterhouses where cruelty occurs. Animal rights group Animals Australia said the latest images came from an Indonesian investigator and showed workers slitting a cow’s throat without first stunning it, as required under the new rules. “Australians will rightfully feel betrayed to know that despite government assurances, the cruel treatment of cattle is continuing,” Animals Australia campaign director Lyn White said.

WORLD IN BRIEF FAILED HARVEST

Gambia seeks aid BANJUL, Gambia (Reuters) — Gambia has appealed for food aid after it said that 70 percent of its crops failed during the last growing season, extending the reach of a food crisis already hitting millions of people across Africa’s Sahel strip. Gambia’s agriculture ministry said the impact of poor rains last year had been exacerbated by high world food prices, crippling household incomes in the West African state, which has ridden out previous food crises. Aid agencies have warned that some nine million people across Mauritania, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali and Chad are facing another food crisis this year on the back of

poor harvests, high prices, the fall in remittances and conflict. “The post-harvest assessment of the 2011 farming season, which was characterized by below normal and poorly distributed rainfall, indicated a reduction in total crop production of more than 70 percent,” Gambia’s agriculture ministry said.

“Why can’t China distinguish between grains for people and feed grains, and liberalize the market for feed grains?” Liu Yonghao, head of the New Hope Group, asked. “China should allow imports and exports, and encourage more feed and meat production here. Why are such tight corn controls needed? If we liberalize corn, import when needed and export when needed, it would greatly benefit the agricultural sector.” New Hope is the largest consumer of corn in China. Last year, it processed almost 16 million tonnes of corn into feed.

PARIS, France (Reuters) — France plans to reinstate a ban on the cultivation of Monsanto’s MON810 corn, in time to prevent the genetically modified grain from being sown this year, an official at the country’s farm ministry said. Paris banned MON810 corn in 2008, citing environmental risks. The decision was overturned by the country’s highest court in November on the basis that it was not sufficiently justified, leading the government to say it would look at ways to maintain the ban. France is facing a presidential election next month and public opinion is fiercely opposed to genetically modified organisms. ANIMAL WELFARE

She said the move would be part of a new German government program to improve farm animal welfare. An EU-wide label on meat to show consumers that the animal was reared humanely should be introduced, she said. She added it would not be practical for Germany to make the move alone.

Grain ships diverted from Iran LONDON/HAMBURG (Reuters) — Grain ships stranded outside Iran’s main food cargo terminal due to western sanctions have been diverted to new destinations with no backlog left, trade sources said. In late January as much as 400,000 tonnes of grain were being held up on 10 vessels mainly outside Bandar Imam Khomeini, one of Iran’s largest grain terminals, as European Union sanctions froze the assets of Iran’s central banks and held up payments for consignments, causing a trade finance squeeze. Trader sources had said by the middle of February there were around three vessels left as cargoes were diverted to new buyers. Ships at the time had been held up for as long as three weeks. AIS ship tracking data now showed there was only one cargo vessel in the lineup headed for the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr. “Everything seems now to have been resold. It has mostly gone to other Gulf and Middle Eastern buyers,” a European grain trader said. “On feed grains, people are waiting to see how the sanctions work before booking new cargoes. Transhipment though Iraq is also being considered.”

Interest high in Gavilon NEW YORK, New York (Reuters) — Global trading companies including Viterra, Swiss Glencore and U.S.-based Bunge have expressed interest in the possible sale of U.S. energy and grains trader Gavilon Group. Gavilon, owned by hedge fund manager Dwight Anderson and investors such as billionaire George Soros, has offered the chance for investors to buy into a leading fertilizer distribution system, a network of grain storage bins and oil storage

facilities in Oklahoma. Bids are due soon for the potential sale, which could be worth up to $5 billion US, a source said. Bloomberg, a financial information company, previously said other potential bidders include Wilmar International, which does not have a significant footprint in the United States, and Japanese trader Mitsui & Co. WHEAT MARKETS

Russia harvest big, but no record BELOKURIKHA, Russia (Reuters) — Russia expects another big wheat harvest in the coming crop year but it is unlikely to match this year’s record grain exports, partly because of a big decline in wheat

stocks, a deputy agriculture minister and analysts said. Russia could harvest 57 million tonnes of wheat in the 2012-13 crop year, up from 56.2 million tonnes during the current crop year, deputy agriculture minister Sergei Sukhov said. However, Russia’s Institute for Agricultural Market Studies noted that the high volume of exports since the government lifted its ban on July 1 last year has depressed inventory levels. The institute said it expects wheat stocks at the close of the 2011-2012 season of 11.2 million tonnes, down from 12.9 million tonnes at the start. Russia was the world’s third largest wheat exporter before the government imposed an export ban to hold down domestic prices after 2010’s severe drought.

CORN MARKETS

Traders skeptical of China’s corn needs BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China will not need to import large amounts of corn this year as it has enough reserves, a senior official said, but traders said the world’s second largest consumer was likely talking down prices ahead of a shopping spree. Expectations that China will import about four million tonnes of corn in the 2011-12 crop year that began in October, on top of a record 2011 harvest, have steadily increased U.S. and domestic corn prices since late January. CEREAL PRODUCTION

Morocco braces for lower crops RABAT, Morocco (Reuters) — Morocco, a major durum importer, will have to import more cereals and raw sugar as drought and an unusually long cold spell have curbed crop cultivation, the head of the agriculture industry said. “The situation is quite worrying. The harvest this year will be very average, if not bad,” said Ahmed Ouayach, who heads the Moroccan Confederation of Agriculture. “Weather conditions, as far as the deficit in rainfalls is concerned, have not been this bad since 2007,” Ouayach said. In drought-hit 2007, Morocco cereals output was only two million tonnes, which compares with its annual consumption of eight million tonnes of wheat alone. It consumes about 1.2 million tonnes of sugar annually. In the crop year that ended last June, Morocco produced 8.36 million tonnes of cereals, 12 percent above the previous year, including six million tonnes of wheat. The shortage comes at a sensitive

PORTUGAL | DROUGHT

Drought stresses already strained country Pastures ravaged, forest fires sparked | Freak weather pattern likely to extend through month’s end LISBON, Portugal (Reuters) — After Portugal’s driest February in 80 years, farmers are praying for a miracle as drought ravages pastures and sparks forest fires, exacerbating the country’s economic crisis. Worse still, official forecasters expect the freak weather pattern to prevail at least through the end of March, which would worsen a drought now classified as severe and extreme throughout mainland Portugal. Aside from the yet-unassisted impact on trade and gross domestic product, the situation is likely to further strain limited financial resources just as Portugal is cutting spending to meet the tough terms of its bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The country’s last major drought in 2005 cost the country almost $400 million. In the parched southern Alentejo region, which is the country’s poorest, villagers in several places are already holding Novenas, acts of religious devotion at which prayers are recited and sung for nine nights in a row to obtain divine intervention. Pedro Mestre, a teacher in the village of Sete, is one of those who have been praying and singing the Novena alongside local farmers. “Dry, cold weather at night and heat during the day destroy the crops : grain, tomatoes, vines, orchards. People become desperate and resort to things they believe can bring relief.” Their only reward was a recent light drizzle, not even enough to humidify the soil. The sun shone again the next day. “The rain just sprinkled the surface, the Novena goes on,” said Mestre. “Also, there are no pastures for the cattle anymore due to the drought, while normally they last till April. If it

The government has freed farmers who have borrowed money from interest payments for a year, set up a task force to follow the drought and is considering measures such as a request for European Commission help. The task force has identified the shortage of natural pastures as the main problem, followed by rising fodder prices and worsening irrigation needs. It said areas under permanent crops were not yet in danger. Agriculture minister Assuncao Cristas said it was not yet time to panic. “It’s premature to evaluate losses in

quantitative terms because rains could start and then the situation won’t be that serious,” she said Experts say that despite a super-dry February, this year’s drought is not yet as bad as that in 2005, when two years of parched conditions combined to create Portugal’s worst drought in 60 years. Nevertheless, it is worrying for a sector that accounts for three percent of national output. “If the absence of rain continues, it can accumulate and gain strength,” said Francisco de Castro Rego, a pro-

fessor at Lisbon’s Superior School of Agronomy. “There have already been around 200 forest fires on some days, which is more typical of summer. They don’t get too huge as there is still moisture from the day-night temperature shift, but that effect will disappear when temperatures get higher.” He said that while enough rain before the summer heat could still prevent massive forest fires, “for agriculture there has already been some irreversible damage done”.

SURVEILLANCE | BIOSECURITY

Poultry workers relax on biosecurity over time Research findings | People’s behaviour can be changed for sake of public health: University of Montreal researcher CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Observers watching footage from a hidden camera installed in a Quebec poultry barn noticed that workers became slacker about biosecurity rules as time passed. At first, workers followed the rules about 60 percent of the time, said Pierre Vaillancourt of the University of Montreal veterinary school. “Some people will comply more than others. It is part of their personality,” he said at a recent poultry conference in Red Deer. There were 44 ways to violate biosecurity rules and observers detected four errors per barn visit. Most had to do with hand washing, wearing proper boots or coveralls and ignoring controlled and restricted zones. Seventy-nine percent did not wash their hands, which is a major way to stop disease. Doors were often left open and staff neglected to change their clothes. National standards have been developed to train farm owners and their staff to prevent the spread of disease. Vaillancourt’s research found staff would not comply if the employer did not follow simple biosecurity measures. Owners often know what needs to be done but fail to teach the staff. Every commodity group in Canada is starting to offer biosecurity training programs to prevent disease, said Audrey Cameron of Alberta Pork. “We are looking at the experience other countries have had and it is much easier to invest in prevention than dealing with it after the fact,” she said. The Pork Canadian Swine Health Board has built a national biosecurity program so that pork producers and veterinarians can work together to develop best management practices on every type of production system. “These are national standards. There is always biosecurity going on, but these are national standards that are shared across the country,” she said. Eighty-five percent of producers and their staff have taken the course in Alberta. Additional training will be offered if requested. A veterinarian visits the farm after the training to assess biosecurity measures and suggest improvements. Future audits and updates are planned. “Hopefully in the future, the Canadian Swine Health Board will be able to continue and keep updating us across the countr y on what we should be doing,” Cameron said. The training is straightforward and evaluates every aspect of the farm from the driveway to the barns. The goal is to develop best management practices to prevent disease. “In Western Canada, we are in a less densely populated zone and we take fewer precautions to our peril,” said swine veterinarian Chris Misutka of Red Deer. Producers need to designate which parts of the farm are controlled and restricted. Signs will soon be available for farms to designate controlled areas in the yard where parking is allowed and where deliveries or pickups are made. Restricted areas are

the buildings and areas that hold the livestock. “In some cases, there are bugs you can’t keep out unless you go to extremes,” Misutka said. The training program emphasizes cleaning, washing, disinfection and drying of areas. It reminds farmers to think about who enters the premises, whether they are visitors or truckers delivering feed, hauling livestock or taking away dead animals. There have been cases where the common denominator during a disease outbreak was deliveries made

from the same truck. People’s behaviour can be changed for the sake of public health, so controlled access on farms is a good place to start. “The biggest vermin is people,” said Vaillancourt. Another problem is fomites, which are clothing, tools, vermin and pets that could carry disease on a farm. Boot baths are not practical because the common way of using them does not disinfect properly. Disinfectant could increase the risk of spreading disease if it is used too long. “If you change it twice a week, you

are essentially soaking in manure,” Vaillancourt said. Biosecurity training suggests adopting the three separate zones of Danish entry systems: dirty area, transition area and clean area. No wild birds or rodents should be in the barns, and pets should be kept out. If a cat is used to control mice, it should live in the barn full time. Water supplies are critical. Surface water should be fenced off and tested twice a year. The avian disease H2N3 killed pigs on two Missouri farms in 2007. Both farms were using untreated water

from the same pond where ducks landed. Farmers need to vaccinate when products are available because the cost of the vaccine is cheaper than a disease outbreak. Farms that keep several species of livestock should take special care because they can share diseases. Farms in Quebec raise turkeys and chickens in the same barn. Turkeys live on the second floor and chickens are on the main floor. The turkeys often escape to the chicken area and forage through the litter. The result is more salmonella among the turkeys.

COMMODITY CLASSIC | CANOLA

New soybean varieties expected to compete with canola Limited commercial release of Plenish soybeans | High oleic canola has good head start in supplying to food service, snack food industries STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Competition is just around the corner for growers of high oleic canola. Pioneer Hi-Bred is planning a limited commercial release of its Plenish high oleic soybeans, and Monsanto will be field-testing its Vistive Gold high oleic soybeans in 2012. High oleic canola oil has a big head start on the looming soybean competition. It has been displacing partially hydrogenated soybean and palm oil in the food service and snack food industries for years, resulting in a big

increase in specialty canola acres across Western Canada. The American Soybean Association hopes high oleic soybeans will help recapture some of the 1.7 million kilograms in annual soybean oil demand that has been lost to healthier oil. Competition from the soybean industry was anticipated as early as 2010, but the genetically modified crops became entangled in regulatory approval delays. Plenish soybeans were deregulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in June 2010 followed by Vistive Gold soybeans in December 2011.

Pioneer is collaborating with processors in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan on contracting 50,000 to 100,000 acres of Plenish soybeans in 2012. Bob Kennedy, senior contract manager for Pioneer Hi-Bred, said the limited commercial launch of Plenish in 2012 will pave the way for full commercial release in 2013. The company has already received import approval for its high oleic soybean trait in Canada, Mexico, China, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South Korea, which account for 90 percent of U.S. soybean exports. European Union approval is expected some time in 2013.

Pioneer anticipates high oleic soybeans will eventually comprise 15 to 20 million of the 70 to 74 million acres of soybeans planted in the U.S. every year. Kennedy said the product will go toe-to-toe with high oleic canola oil from Canada. “That will be our number one competitor,” he said.“They’ve got quite a bit of business here in the U.S. since the trans fat law went into play.” Plenish is a little higher in oleic content but also a little higher in saturated fat content than high oleic canola. Roy Fuchs, Monsanto’s global oilseeds technology lead, said Vistive

Gold has the lowest saturated fat content of all the high oleic oils. “It will be the premier oil for the high oleic oils in general,” he said. “We’re really on the verge of launching a very exciting product for the soybean industry.” Fuchs hopes to have all the global approvals in place for an unrestricted launch of the product in 2014. “We’re really stepping up acres and varieties for that time frame,” he said. Monsanto plans to take a stepwise approach to the launch of Vistive Gold, focusing first on Ohio and Indiana, where there are interested processors and the varieties perform the best. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Monsanto plans a rapid introduction of its next generation of herbicide tolerant canola once global approvals are in place. The company has submitted its Roundup Ready 2 canola for approval in Canada and the United States. The Canadian submission was made April 8, 2011. “We think it will be a really major product for Canada,” said Roy Fuchs, Monsanto’s global oilseeds technology lead, during an interview at the 2012 Commodity Classic conference. The product is designed to provide canola growers with an extended window of opportunity to apply Roundup to the time of first flower and will allow them to use the herbicide at higher rates for enhanced weed control. Fuchs hopes the product will receive North American approvals within the next year and global approval before the 2014 growing season. Monsanto is targeting commercialization of the product in 2014, pending the regulatory approvals. “We would be looking at a very rapid scale-up to meet the demands we think will be created in Canada,” he said. Canola seed can be multiplied faster than many other crops, which will allow Monsanto to get product on the market shortly after the approvals are in place. Fuchs said Canada is the target market for its second generation of GM canola. Farmers in the U.S. grew one million acres of canola last year, down from 1.4 million in 2010. By contrast, Agriculture Canada is forecasting 19.8 million acres of Canadian canola in 2012, up five percent from last year’s record plantings. “Canada is where all the growth is, so our focus is Canada for canola,” said Fuchs. “I don’t see with the expansion of corn and soy that the U.S. acres will in any way keep pace with the growth we’re seeing in Canada.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Consumers will pay Canada, U.S. ponder grain movement new animal welfare, environment costs Shared shipping opportunities | U.S. wheat growers eye west coast ports

Rules raise producers’ costs | Retailers will pass on higher prices to consumers STORIES BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Looming regulations could cost U.S. consumers billions of dollars, says the United Soybean Board. A report commissioned by the board said increased animal welfare and environmental regulations could drive up the cost of raising livestock by 10 to 25 percent. Those expenses would be passed along to consumers, it added. “Consumers don’t see the connection between those regulations and the cost to them in the grocery store,” said USB chair Vanessa Kummer during an interview at the 2012 Commodity Classic conference in Nashville. She hopes the study will set them straight on the consequences of some of these seemingly innocuous regulations. “It will raise the cost of what they pay for meat, milk and eggs in the grocery store and end up costing (them) around $16.8 billion annually,” said Kummer. One of the priorities of the USB, which collects and spends the U.S. soybean checkoff, is to protect and defend the animal agriculture industry because it consumes 98 percent of the meal made from soybeans. “Animal agriculture is by far our largest customer,” said Kummer. Poultry leads the way, consuming 54 percent of U.S. soybean meal followed by pigs at 28 percent and cattle at seven percent. Livestock producers are facing increased regulation in five areas: animal housing, environmental mandates, drug use, labour supply and livestock marketing. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

VANESSA KUMMER UNITED SOYBEAN BOARD CHAIR

Some of the regulations are state and federal legislation while others are coming from major retailers. For instance, McDonald’s wants farrowing pens changed or eliminated, which would have a big impact on the bottom line for pork producers who supply the company with product. The study determined that switching from the conventional cage system for layer hens to a nation-wide cage-free system would increase the average price of a dozen eggs to $2.10 US per dozen from $1.68. “The more vulnerable families really can’t afford prices being raised due to regulations,” said Kummer. Regulation could also reduce U.S. pork and broiler exports, which would cost the economy an estimated 9,000 jobs. USB is providing the study to the American Soybean Association and the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance, a collection of 70 commodity groups and agriculture industry partners ASA will use the information in its political lobbying efforts and the USFRA will use it to help educate consumers on the issue.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Traditional paths to market for U.S. and Canadian wheat could change come Aug. 1 when Canada switches to an open market. Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp., which is the monitor for the Canadian prairie grain handling and transportation system, said Canadian grain will be using U.S. ports and vice versa. “There’s a lot of people who believe we’ll see a transition to a continental market as opposed to a U.S. and Canadian market, and that’s a good thing because what it provides is sales opportunities for producers,” he said. Alan Tracy, president of U.S. Wheat Associates, said American wheat farmers will definitely be eyeing Canada’s transportation system, especially the west coast ports. “We’re going to be interested in what happens to your rail freight subsidy and whether it might be possible for U.S. wheat occasionally to use your westward movement,” he

Prince Rupert shouldn’t affect freight rates. The revenue cap is for Canadian grain movement and there will still be an incentive for the railways to operate as close to the cap as possible. But U.S. grain that stops at a Canadian country elevator for processing and is then reloaded onto rail cars will become part of the revenue cap equation.

Lessons learned from VRT

Variable rate technology is a great tool, but it needs ongoing fine tuning to optimize its potential While farmers are finding variable rate technology (VRT) is helping to increase the efficiency of crop inputs, a north-central Alberta agronomist is hoping to fine tune treatments further as a risk management tool. Paul Muyres of Solid Ground Solutions, based in Beaumont, just south of Edmonton, says he will be working with some clients this year to see if split-rate applications of VRT fertilizer will not only apply fertilizer where it will do the most good, but also when it will do the most good. Muyres hopes to apply the split-rate VRT fertilizer on client Dean Krause’s farm at Wetaskiwin, AB, as they fine tune management with an overall objective of getting the biggest bang for the buck from precision farming technology. “In working with Dean and other producers we have seen that variable rate applications make good economic sense,” says Muyres. “You put fertilizer or the seed, at varying rates on different zones of the field where you can optimize the production potential of those zones. As most people find, you may not use less inputs, but you put those resources to better use to achieve higher and more uniform yields across the field.” Muyres says that all makes sense until producers run into situations like they did in 2011. “We ended up with excessive moisture,” says Muyres. “The lower area of some fields were saturated and drowned out. We applied inputs where they would do the most good, but then because of the moisture, the tables turned. The higher areas — hill sides and hill tops — which are generally less productive, produced higher yields.”

REDUCING RISK As farmers use precision farming technology to improve efficiency, Muyres looked at how the technology could also be used as a risk management tool. “Not every farmer has seeding equipment that can handle variable rate technology without a fairly expensive refitting,” he says. “But most producers these days do have field sprayers that are designed for variable rate applications. Perhaps we can use the sprayer as a tool for applying variable rate fertility and rely less on the seeding equipment.” Muyres says they still have to fine tune the exact plan, but his approach will be to apply between 50 and 75 per cent of the planned fertility for each crop at seeding, and then use the field sprayer to top up and apply variable rate fertilizer mid-way through the growing season, once they have a better handle on growing conditions. As conditions change, it may mean rewriting or updating the variable rate prescription for different zones. The idea is to still reap the benefits of variable rate technology, but by splitting fertility applications based on actual growing conditions, farmers can apply risk management to their input costs. “Growing conditions are often changing over the growing season,” says Muyres. “When you apply all fertility at time of seeding it is like a snapshot – a one-time deal — when actually the growing conditions are like a movie that changes over the weeks and

months of the season. We have the technology, so do we want to be taking a snapshot, or do we want to be making a movie?” There may be some logistical issues to sort out and the split rate may not work for every farm. To top dress fertilizer, nitrogen and perhaps other nutrients will be required in the liquid form. That may not always be available locally. And of course timing of application is important.

LESSONS LEARNED While split rate applications or using the sprayer to top dress variable rate fertilizer is one idea sprouting from experience, Muyres says working with producers and precision farming technology is always raising questions and teaching new lessons. Working with good farm managers, like Dean Krause, is key to optimizing yields, increasing input efficiency, and improved profitability. But precision farming technology itself is not a guarantee. “He is really interested in doing everything right,” says Muyres. “The crop is direct seeded with a drill equipped with the Technotill seeding system, so he has good seed placement and seed to soil contact, and fertilizer placement . He follows a proper crop fertility program, and applies crop protection products, properly as needed. Precision farming technology helps him do a better job. “But, this isn’t technology you buy, then flip the switch and just go.” says Muyres. ‘You always have to monitor equipment and think about what you are trying to achieve. “With Dean, for example, we’ve ensured that all software has been updated this winter, and we are bench testing everything, well before we head out to the field this spring,” says Muyres. It is also important to keep evaluating the yield potential and fertilizer application rates, particularly when developing variable rate prescriptions. Muyres says most farmers, even with variable rate technology, are still not reaching the yield potential of most crops. He says it is not unreasonable, depending on growing conditions, to expect 100 bushel yields on wheat, 70 to 80 bushel yields on canola and 140 to 150 bushel or higher yields on barley. The potential is there, the technology just has to be applied to achieve it.

Viterra and Ducks Unlimited Canada have a renewed partnership for their forage incentive program this year. The program encourages eligible producers in key waterfowl areas to plant forages for pasture and hayland by providing financial assistance and top quality forage seed. Additional money may also be available to landowners who are willing to restore small wetlands. Properly managed forages and associated wetlands help provide clean water, carbon sequestration and abundant wildlife. Ducks Unlimited research has shown that perennial forages provide safe and attractive nesting habitat for upland nesting waterfowl and other birds. Agricultural production systems that include perennial forages also help protect wetlands.

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

Food imports face far less rigorous inspection than Canadian food exports and the result is a Canadian population at risk, says the president of the union representing federal food inspectors. Bob Kingston, president of the agriculture union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, also accused a senior

BULK UP NOW. EARN UP TO

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

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

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

CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION | PRESIDENT

Cattle leader praised by industry Travis Toews recognized | A highlight was seeing industry optimism among youth BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Travis Toews stepped down as Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president March 9 on a high note amid praise for his two-year term when the industry turned around. “He has been a great leader, not just for the cattle industry but for young people thinking of getting back into the industry as well,” agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said during a speech to the CCA’s annual meeting in Ottawa March 8. Recently, the 47-year-old Toews was one of the first group of 60 Canadians to be awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal, created to honour Queen Elizabeth’s 60th year on the throne. Eventually, 60,000 Canadians who have “made Canada better” will receive a Queen’s Medal, according to the office of the governor general. Ritz said Toews is the first agriculture sector leader to be given the special award. “It’s a recognition of the great job Travis has done on your behalf,” he told CCA delegates. Toews, who ranches near Beaverlodge, Alta., had his own ideas about the highlights of his two years as CCA president. He logged tens of thousands of

TRAVIS TOEWS CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

kilometres travelling on trade trips, often with Ritz, and saw the opening of markets big and small that had been closed since BSE was discovered in Canada in 2003. He led the organization through its successful World Trade Organization challenge of American country-oforigin labelling rules. But more importantly, he led the CCA as cattle prices increased, beef demand grew and incomes for most producers increased. He said it was a time of “changing supply-demand dynamics in North America and globally” that he was lucky to witness. “In general terms, seeing the economics of the industry turn around,” Toews said March 8 when asked in an interview about the highlights of his two years as CCA president. “It was seeing a more competitive industry fundamental. And seeing

an interest by young people in returning to the sector has really been gratifying and we are starting to see that in spades.” CCA presidents are limited to two years. Toews remains on the CCA board for two years as past-president while Manitoba’s Martin Unrau serves as president. The former president said he supports the current government’s trade agenda, which includes negotiating access into some insignificant markets, as well as major markets, because every new market opportunity allows more sales and builds momentum for future deals. He said increased markets make the industry more competitive and give cattle producers more of an ability to earn their living from sales rather than program payments. “I believe the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in the cattle industry and as we turn the corner now at a time when we have a more competitive business environment than we have had for years, we will see individuals step for ward and make investments in our industry to take advantages of the opportunities,” said Toews. “This is very exciting, and it really was a privilege to be playing a role when this turnaround played out.” access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

A purchase by Blaschuck Land and Cattle from Square D Polled Herefords stood as the top transaction at the 107th annual Regina Bull Sale March 11. However, it also represented a deal between two long-time supporters of the event at a time when others may be drifting away. Walter Blaschuck from Chaplin, Sask., said he has been coming to the sale for more than 50 years. “I always went home with a bull,” he said. And Harvey Duke, who operates Wascana Cattle Co. of Regina with son Bradley and Square D at Langbank, Sask., with his brother Jim, said he has been consigning on his own since 1964, after his father first showed in 1960. “I would suggest I’m the longest consecutive contributor still showing,” Duke said after this year’s sale. The Wascana-consigned bull, Square-D Blitz 952X, topped the sale at $13,000. “I was hoping he would go for a fairly good price but I haven’t sold a bull for $13,000 for quite a while,” Duke said. “He is one of the best bulls I’ve ever raised.” The Blaschuck family certainly thinks so, although they have also bought Duke’s top selling bulls for the last two years. “Good bulls and good people,” said Randy Blaschuck of the reasoning. “They stand behind their bulls.” The length and style of Blitz was what caught his eye. He said he knew they would have to pay a high price for him simply because of the price of cattle. The Blaschucks also bought the second-highest priced bull, paying $9,500 for MA HR Metorite 38P 37X

from Meadow-Acres Polled Herefords of Lampman, Sask. They took four bulls home, including the high selling Black Angus for the black half of their herd of 500 cows. Duke said his bulls appear to work well for the Blaschucks, whom he described as outstanding cattle breeders. Both he and Walter Blaschuck said attending a bull sale like the one in Regina is critical for both buyers and sellers. “It’s a good place to bring your bulls and compare,” said Duke. Still, the numbers at the Regina sale continue to drop as more sales take place on farms. About 100 bulls were on offer this year and the Simmental breed wasn’t represented at all. Several at the show recalled the days when the barns were full and each breed required its own day in the sale ring.

CATTLE | PRIDE OF THE PRAIRIES

Long-running cattle show attracts youthful crowd Average bull sale price close to $4,000 | Bull show’s addition of steer and heifer events bolsters attendance BY JUSTINA CONTENTI FREELANCE WRITER

LLOYDMINSTER — Despite nearing its centennial year, the Lloydminster Pride of the Prairies Bull Show and Sale is attracting a younger crowd than ever. The addition of the Progress Steer and Heifer Show to this year’s 93rd event March 4-5 drew youth from across the Prairies. Brad Payne, chair of the steer and heifer show organizing committee, said the turnout was larger than organizers expected. “Initially, we thought we would get maybe 20 to 25 females and 20 to 25 steers, but we ended up with 38 heifers and 34 steers,” he said. “We totally exceeded our expectations, which is great.” Payne said adding a steer and heifer show to the annual bull sale was first suggested six or seven years ago. Organizers finally decided the time was right. “We had support right from Calgary to Regina and everywhere in between,” he said. This year’s show was open to exhibitors of all ages, but organizers may make it a junior show next year because of the strong youth involvement in the event. The steer and heifer show kicked off the Pride of the Prairies March 4, with the bull show following it in the afternoon and the bull sale March 5. Mike Sidoryk, general manager of the Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition, said the sale was a success: the number of bulls sold increased to 146 from 130 last year and gross sales increased to $569,900 from $463,900. The average bull price was $3,903, up from $3,568 in 2011. This year’s high selling bull was a Simmental that sold for $9,600. “You could feel the energy in the room, it was just a tremendous atmosphere this year,” said Sidoryk. “There is such an optimism in the beef industry and the fact that producers are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. They are very pleased with the strength of the cattle industry at this point.”

Polled Hereford producer Wayne Sampson, who has been showing and selling bulls at the Pride of the Prairies since 1974, got his start in the industry as a brush boy. This year, he and his wife, Lucie, helped greet Alberta premier Alison Redford when she visited the exhibition grounds during preparations for the bull sale March 3. “It’s great to have the premier of Alberta come to Lloydminster, Sask.,

at the Lloydminster Exhibition grounds to be involved in what is going on,” said Wayne, who helped show Redford how to check and weigh cattle before they are sold. The Sampsons had five bulls at the sale this year and sell the rest off the farm. He said both marketing methods have merit. “Some people prefer to buy at a bull sale because number one, they feel more comfortable establishing a price, and two, they like to see a whole group of breeders bring cattle in so they can make their selection from there.”

VIRUS | SCHMALLENBERG

Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruminant virus outbreak may pose threat in Canada ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

new viral disease is sweeping across Europe, infecting cattle, sheep, goats, and bison. Schmallenberg virus, which was discovered last fall, started with an unusual outbreak of disease in dairy cattle in Germany and the Netherlands. Infected cattle had fevers, diarrhea, decreased appetite, weight loss and reduced milk yields of up to 50 percent. Illness lasted from weeks to days in affected animals. These signs of illness are not specific to a certain type of disease, so testing was performed to rule out other causes of illness. When none of the known diseases were confirmed, it was time to search for something new. Using sophisticated gene sequencing techniques, German researchers were able to determine that a new virus was causing the outbreak. It is named after a town in Germany where the outbreak was first identified and from which blood samples from infected cattle helped identify the virus. Early this winter, deformed sheep infected with Schmallenberg virus were identified. Pregnant ewes gave birth to lambs with unbendable joints (arthrogryposis), bent spines (scoliosis), short jaws and increased fluid in the brain cavity (hydrocephalus, also called water on the brain) Infection in early gestation causes deformities and abortions. Most affected lambs were stillborn, and the rest died shortly after birth. Some herds have lost 25 percent of their lamb crop. Biting midges and mosquitoes are suspected to carry the virus and inoculate susceptible animals when they feed. The virus does not survive well outside the body. Researchers are working on vaccines and tests for detecting antibodies against the virus. No treatment is available. Further research is necessary to determine if the virus has been circulating in Europe undetected or if it was introduced from elsewhere. Infection in humans is possible, but viruses closely related to Schmallenberg virus do not typically infect people. It is too early to tell if the same will be true for this virus. As of March 1, the virus had been detected in more than 1,000 farms in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. It has remained a disease of ruminants, infecting bison, cattle, sheep and goats. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not known if other species, such as deer, moose, llamas and alpacas, are susceptible. The economic impact of this disease is expected to grow in significance and will be further assessed following spring lambing. Egypt, Ukraine, Russia and Mexico have already banned the importation of live cattle, semen and embryos from affected countries. German exports to Russia were valued at $78 access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

million US last year. The United States has increased import restrictions on European Union cattle, sheep and goat embryos and semen. The significance of this outbreak to Canada remains undetermined. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it is monitoring the outbreak. Live imported animals may harbour the virus, but it is suspected that semen and embryos are also at risk. Even if the virus were inadvertently introduced to Canada, it would require a vector such as a mosquito, midge or tick that was capable of transmitting it between animals. It is possible that we do not have the

appropriate hosts or that our weather is too severe. On the other hand, it could sweep across the continent as we saw with West Nile Virus in the early 2000s. In general, most infectious diseases in Canada are at their northern limit. However, with the shorter winters and longer summers that accompany climate change, mosquito populations are anticipated to grow. As their season and range expands, mosquito-born viruses are also expected to become more of a health concern. Schmallenberg virus may be one of them. Jamie Rothenburger is a veterinarian practising at Crossfield, Alta.

Viterra’s 1Q earnings shrink Trading halted briefly | Grain company acknowledges takeover interest from unnamed source BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Viterra Inc. reported last week that its first quarter net earnings were down $23 million compared to the s a m e p e r i o d l a s t y e a r, ma i n l y because of lower grain handling and processing earnings. Earnings per share dropped from 27 cents to 21 cents. The results were announced a day before trading halted briefly after the company acknowledged it had received an expression of interest from unnamed third parties. The company’s net earnings of $77.7 million were down from $100.7 million at the same time last year. Chief executive officer Mayo Schmidt said the financial results are solid and impressive in challenging economic times. “Our vertically integrated business model and irreplaceable assets in strategic locations proved resilient,” he said.

The company’s earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) declined by $21 million year over year. EBITDA dropped by $17 million in grain handling and marketing and $14 million in processing while increasing by $4.8 million in agri-products. The agr i-products segment appears poised for a solid fiscal year based on three factors: • Schmidt said Viterra expects the six to eight million acres that were left unseeded in Canada last year to return to production. • The company forecasts 18.5 to 19.5 million acres of canola, a high input crop. • Doug Wonnacott, chief operating officer for the agri-products group, said input rates are likely to increase. Farmers will be motivated to maximize profit, Schmidt added. Wonnacott said fertilizer margins rose in the first quarter from $99 per tonne to $130 per tonne.

“Last fall we had an early harvest, we had great weather and, as such, it gave the farmers an opportunity to p u t d ow n a l o t o f a m m o n i a i n November,” he said. “A lot of that is our own manufactured ammonia so that drove the fertilizer margins up significantly.” Low natural gas costs, which are below $2 per gigajoule, will also enhance the margin. Viterra is projecting seeded acreage in Western Canada of 57 to 59 million acres. It expects the end of the CWB monopoly to eventually add $40 to $50 million to its annual EBITDA. In Australia, Viterra will soon open its new Minto malt plant and decommission two older plants. This move will see the closure of 55,000 tonnes of capacity but the opening of 110,000 tonnes, pushing the company’s total capacity to 600,000 tonnes per year. Schmidt said there is significant

grain in storage in Australia, including 6.6 million tonnes of new crop received during the first quarter and 1.8 million tonnes of carryover. In Western Canada, Viterra expects to handle 31 to 33 million tonnes of the six major grains through the full fiscal year, and maintain or improve its 45 percent market share. Fran Malecha, chief operating officer of grains, said volume and movement have been strong. He questioned the actual size of last year’s North American crop. “It appears that there might be more grain around in the system than probably what the reports are showing, but that remains to be seen,” he said. “If we keep this pace up … then we get pretty close to running out of grain, so something has to give. Either there has to be a slow down in shipments or there’s more grain out there than we originally thought, or than the market thinks.”

Farm, industrial equipment dealership owner posts strong early year results access=subscriber section=ag_finance,none,none

BY D’ARCE MCMILLAN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Cervus Equipment Corp., which has 30 farm and industrial equipment dealerships in Western Canada, showed strong profit growth in 2011.

Profit increased by $6.6 million, or 57.4 percent, to $18.1 million for the year that ended Dec. 31, the company said in a news release. Gross revenue rose by $90.5 million, or 19.3 percent, to $559.6 million. The agricultural equipment

segment contributed $53.7 million to that increase, and the construction and industrial equipment segment contributed $36.8 million. Cervus announced in December that it was in negotiations to buy truck sales and repair assets. The negotia-

tions cover four Frontier Peterbilt dealerships in Saskatoon, Regina, Estevan, Sask., and Lloydminster, Sask., and a collision repair centre in Saskatoon. Graham Drake, vice-president of operations of the agricultural division,

will succeed Peter Lacey as president in April. Lacey will become executive chair of Cervus’ board of directors. Cervus outlets feature brands such as John Deere, Bobcat and JCB construction equipment. It also has an interest in assets in New Zealand.

Management functions need to be written down to ensure ongoing success

business has been managed successfully to date. What managerial development (hands-on and external training) needs to occur? This is a two step process. The first step is to document the current and future organizational structure of the business: • relevant management functions of the business • tasks associated with each management function • who fulfills the management roles associated with each function The second step should be to create current and future (three to five year)

organizational charts. Once developed, plans to transfer the business management functions to the next generation can be developed and implemented. This is a relatively straightforward process. In my opinion, it is one of the most helpful exercises that farm families can do when contemplating succession planning and intergenerational transition.

utting specific management issues into context can be a useful exercise. Context places the issue in relative terms, which in turn helps with the decision making process. One of the techniques I use to gain a better understanding of specific management issues facing farmers is to compare the current situation to what it would have looked like 10 years ago. I then fast forward 10 years and re-examine the issue. This tactic provides me with context, and with that a better understanding of the issue. Succession planning has three areas: • taxation, legal, insurance and investment • soft issues, such as fair and equal, entitlement, sweat equity, successor, conflict and communication • farm business management Of the three, the most significant change, in terms of succession planning, is in farm business management. That is not meant to understate the importance of the other two areas. Developing and implementing taxation, legal, insurance and investment strategies to the best advantage of the farm family’s circumstances will always be important in succession planning. Similarly, considering and attending to the soft issues can be pivotal in implementing a successful transition. However, for there to be a successful intergenerational transition, there has to be a successful business. Let’s think about farm business management from the 10-now-10 principle. Farms today are typically larger and more complex than 10 years ago. Capital investment and leverage has increased. Margins remain relatively narrow. Volatility is a reality. The next generation is faced with assuming the management of a business that can have several million dollars in assets. What will these factors look like 10 years from now? What are the trends? Who does what on a farm is well understood. It’s how farms are managed. Typically though, the management functions are not formalized (written down) and not clearly and openly communicated. This can become a problem when managing the business. It often can be a big issue when the farm is working through the implementation of a succession plan.

MARKETING | EFFICIENCY

Grain commission wants quick change flexibility 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 is 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.

any farmers and other grain industry players are convinced that the Canadian grain grading system will need to be radically overhauled in the postmonopoly environment. However, like a lot of received wisdom, the truth doesn’t always fit well, say the leaders of the Canadian Grain Commission. “It is a flexible system,” said commissioner Murdoch MacKay in an interview during Grainworld. “A lot of people assume that we have too many grades, and the grade is the protein. No, it’s not.” MacKay said the commission is less worried about the specific grading system it oversees and more concerned that its present legislation hamstrings its abilities to fulfill its mission. For the post-single desk grain marketing environment, the commission’s commissioners want a system that can be tweaked, adapted and evolved quickly, without having to go back to Parliament. The Canada Grain Act now spells out much of how the commission must act, and changing legislation is so onerous that many small changes never happen. “Some of the changes that we are asking for today are no different from what was suggested in 1971,” said MacKay, who laid out an overhaul to the Canada Grain Act that the CGC is proposing. “Why haven’t we been able to make those changes? Because the act has been so rigid that for us to make those changes we had to change the act.” MacKay said legislation that allows Ottawa to quickly change the commission’s rules through regulations or government order would allow it to quickly adapt to changing needs. A modernized grain commission would probably drop inland inspection and weighing and allow CGC grading at export to sometimes be done by independent assessors, MacKay said. Many of the inspections now done within the system are redundant and can be eliminated with little risk to quality. However, the grading system itself isn’t as big an impediment to the development of the post-monopoly grain system, MacKay said. The grading system sets out broad parameters against which crops can be judged. However, it doesn’t require protein to be included nor does it stop buyers or sellers from buying crops that fall below or rise above the CGC’s quality specifications. “You sell basis to specifications, but you can improve it, like less wild oats or less foreign material, or you can have a spec (with) more wild oats or more foreign material,” said MacKay. “You can adjust those specs. There is nothing to prevent that.” MacKay said the widely held view that the CGC bases grades on protein levels arose from its participation in the CWB’s system of including protein levels in its wheat specifications to buyers. The CWB thought protein levels were key quality parameters, so the

grain commission was willing to add those on top of its normal grading regime for board grains. That wasn’t a bad thing to do, but grain companies now might change the way they advertise grain. “It’s not a criticism of the board. The board developed a marketing system that was a brand. It became famous worldwide. That’s what we’re known for,” said MacKay.“But now that you have other people involved, how do

they want to market Canada’s grain?” The CWB aimed for the highest priced grain with its marketing, but MacKay said some grain companies and marketers might now focus on other markets, which could change what is grown and sold in Canada. The commission hopes to make recommendations to the government this year for changes to the Canada Grain Act after the present consultation process ends.

Why haven’t we been able to make those changes? Because the act has been so rigid that for us to make those changes we had to change the act. MURDOCH MACKAY CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION

AGRONOMY | BLACKLEG

Researchers keep tabs on blackleg to help breeders Collecting data | Canola breeders are developing resistant varieties but are still in the dark about which genes to select for STORIES BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Surveys and research continue in Alberta to get a handle on blackleg disease, which has affected Canadian canola trade with China. Mike Harding, a plant pathology researcher with Alberta Agriculture, said surveys show the troublesome type of blackleg is most prevalent in the province’s east-central and Peace regions. Southern Alberta, while least affected, is not blackleg free either. China has one type of blackleg but

Alberta has two, and one of them is the virulent Leptosphaeria maculans. That’s the kind China doesn’t want to import via canola and it closed its borders to the Canadian oilseed for a time before reopening only certain ports. The federal government and China used a recent trade mission to agree to work on a plan to mitigate the risk of spreading the disease. Harding said there was a significant increase in blackleg in 2011 from 2010 in some areas of Alberta, which he attributed to higher rainfall creating conditions favoured by

the disease. “It kind of tended to be a disease we’ve forgotten about over the last 15 to 20 years because our resistant vari-

eties have kind of taken care of the problem,” Harding said in an interview at a pest management update March 8. Now it has become hypervirulent, meaning it can quickly overcome and break resistance. “We’re finding it in more and more fields and it’s definitely still here and still a concern for canola growers.” Canola breeders are working on new resistant varieties, but blackleg is a formidable foe. Its ability to reshuffle its genetic material and produce large numbers of asexual spores is a worst-case scenario for

those fighting it. “We don’t even know all the virulent isolates out there, and in some cases we don’t even know which resistance genes we need to deploy,” Harding said. In Australia, researchers are exploring blackleg response to different varieties of canola and to variety and crop rotation. Harding said that might be a future direction of Canadian research, but in the meantime surveys will continue to collect data on location and type of blackleg. The disease can cause major crop loss by damaging stems and causing severe lodging. It spreads easily through infected seed, spores splashed and spread by rain, and by spores on the wind. Fungicide is available to fight it, but crop rotation and control of volunteer canola also help.

A plant pathology researcher warns that pushing canola rotations is asking for trouble when it comes to clubroot. “One of the only management tools we have, other than rotation, is the clubroot resistant varieties of canola,” said Mike Harding of Alberta Agriculture. “When we start to push on the rotation too hard, growing resistant varieties in infested fields more than once every four years, that resistance will break.” Harding said there is a finite amount of resistant germplasm available and once lost, it won’t be easily replaced. Regions around Edmonton are ground zero for clubroot in Alberta. The soil-borne disease was first found in canola in 2003 and since then has spread to about 20 municipalities. It causes significant yield losses in canola and can destroy a crop if levels are high. There is no treatment, and the disease can persist in soil for years. Harding said it is always a good idea to remove loose soil from farm equipment when moving from field to field, and it’s particularly important in areas where clubroot is known to exist. Scouting for the disease should begin about five weeks after emergence and continue through to harvest, Harding said. Yellowing, stunted plants or plants that are flaccid in the heat of the day are common symptoms. Infected plants will have bulbous areas called galls on their roots. Those suspected to have the disease can be sent to labs for testing.

PROGRAMS | IMMIGRATION

More programs needed to support, protect rural women $12 million in new federal funding | Rural women have difficulties accessing services

New ag policy must address immigration Helping new immigrants to become farmers is key BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The federal government has committed more than $12 million to fund projects that protect rural women from violence and improve economic security, says the minister responsible for women’s issues. Rona Ambrose, federal public works minister and minister responsible for the status of women, said Ottawa will contribute to at least 48 projects that are operated by community groups. Although she said support to enhance the economic and management skills of farm women is one of the government’s goals, none of the projects are specifically aimed at farm women. “I would say women usually are the ones that handle the finances on the farm and take care of the accounting, (so) even just training women, business development, helping women take those farm businesses from small to large, dealing with some of the interface with government programming, there’s a lot we can do to support farm women,” she said. “There are projects that do exactly that.” By press time, Status of Women Canada had not responded to a request for clarification of programs aimed at farm women. Support for women in rural and remote areas is the theme of Canada’s international women’s week, as it is in countries around the world. Ambrose attended a United Nations conference on the issue in late February. She said the government is supporting community groups that understand rural women are facing special difficulties of isolation and access to services. “When we talk about isolation from services, provision of services, being in remote areas, those challenges in themselves are something that we need to address,” she said. “I think this is a great opportunity for us not only to look at the ruralurban divide, which I think is something everyone who lives in a rural area understands, but to recognize that the services that women in many urban areas need are not accessible to women in rural areas.” She said rural women may feel the lack of program support “more acutely” than many urban women. Funding recipients include a women’s shelter in Corner Brook, N.L., centres in Red Deer and Prince Albert, Sask., that offer services to women at risk, networks that help immigrant women in Alberta and a

There’s a lot of women’s organizations in rural and remote areas that need our support. We want those communities to remain dynamic. We want those communities to retain their vitality and if we don’t support people that are living in those areas, they won’t remain in those areas. RONA AMBROSE FEDERAL PUBLIC WORKS MINISTER

community association in Portage la Prairie, Man. A British Columbia project “will develop a community response plan to make support services more accessible to women living in poverty who have also experienced violence,” the minister said. Ambrose, who staged her announcement in the Canadian Agriculture Museum amid a dis-

play about hard-working honeybees who build and protect their hives, said more than three million Canadian women live in or near 5,000 rural and remote communities. “Women in rural, remote and northern communities are key to Canada’s economic prosperity,” she said. “There’s a lot of women’s organi-

zations in rural and remote areas that need our support. We want those communities to remain dynamic. We want those communities to retain their vitality and if we don’t support people that are living in those areas, they won’t remain in those areas.” Ambrose said the government message is that strong women make a strong Canada.

The national farm policy that launches next year should include programs to help immigrating farmers produce foods in demand by ethnic communities, says a University of Guelph professor. Evan Fraser, the Canada research chair in the university’s geography department, told MPs at a House of Commons agriculture committee meeting that the growing consumer demand for local and specialized food should be encouraged in the Growing Forward 2 five-year framework. “In my opinion, there’s a rising consumer demand for locally sourced products, ethno-cultural foods and vibrant cultural food systems.” Fraser argued that supporting small processors in rural Canada and helping create marketing networks that help sales of local produce are key. But so is helping immigrants become farmers. He said a major way that government can help would be “through the promotion of programs geared at enticing a new generation of people and in particular new Canadians to enter farming and meet the rising demand for ethno-cultural foods.” The bottleneck that Canada faces in meeting the demand for ethnic food is the lack of small local processing and farmers who know how to produce the ingredients, he added. “I think the best way of overcoming that bottleneck is to encourage new immigrants to Canada, who come often with a background in farming, and developing policies and tools to encourage them to set up farm enterprises to meet this demand,” he said. But how do potential immigrant farmers find out when a farm is coming on the market and what programs are available to help them? University of Guelph food and agricultural economics professor John Cranfield told MPs the idea of farmer immigrants taking up the trade in Canada to produce food for ethnic markets has problems. “Often immigrants come to Canada to get away from agriculture and they don’t necessarily want to get into agriculture once they’re here,” he said. Instead, he suggested the next agriculture policy framework have policies to “nudge” farmers to produce for growing specialty markets. Cranfield also argued that trying to find financing for a small local processing plant producing for an ethnic market could be difficult. He said an answer could be government programs to cover the risk of creating companies aimed at servicing local or ethnic markets. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

FAMILY TIME | GADGETS

Electronic media can improve interpersonal communication SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Electronics have taken over the world and families need to learn how to use them effectively

Last Sunday, my family (which is me, our two adolescent boys and my husband) gathered in the living room after our Sunday meal. It should have been a great moment in family life together. But it wasn’t. Each of the boys was texting friends on his cellphone, my husband was working out some market prices on the computer and I was reading a novel on an e-book. All of us were electronically plugged into something or the other, which is fine, but we were not talking to each other. Sometimes I wonder if this overall indulgence in electronic media is costing all of us the ability to come together as a family. When I say this to my family, my boys are quick to suggest that I am old-fashioned and that I am making too big a deal out of nothing. What do you think?

I think the leap into the age of electronics has caught everyone off guard. No one in the publishing business expected e-books to be as popular as they have become. Who would have thought that cellphones would be as widespread as they are, or that we would become so dependent on

e-mail and use it to replace the written communication that Canada Post delivers to us? It is truly amazing. The problem is that we have not had the time to properly research the good, the bad and the ugly of electronic hardware to successfully argue for or against the use of cellphones, computers or e-books. We are in a bit of an electronic blind alley. These electronic devices have obvious benefits, but we need to be concerned about some of the side-effects popping out from the computer era. Being a little cautious is likely wise at this point. There are ways to use common sense when adjusting to the electronic age, and you had a perfect opportunity to do so in your living room. The four of you were at least congregated in one spot. So what stopped you from hopping into the kitchen to make a pot of hot chocolate and declaring a 15 minute time-out to give all of you a chance to take a break from your distractions, sip on a cup of chocolate and talk to one another. If you do what you can to keep the conversation positive and encouraging, you could find yourselves creeping past the 15 minute time limit to enjoy the ultimate of communication, namely interpersonal interaction. The problem is not that electronics have taken over the world. The problem is that we have not yet learned how to use them to facilitate human contact. When you, your husband and your sons are exploring the electronic world, you are bringing all kinds of interesting information, anecdotes and people into your household. That should lead to fascinating conversations between the four of you. But for that to happen, the computer and its associates have to be understood to be something that can

facilitate communication. They make our conversations more interesting and more informed, but they cannot replace interpersonal dialogue. That has a beauty and reverence all of its own. All of us need to learn to use the

electronic media to help us talk to each other rather than to replace each other. Your sons might be right. You may be old-fashioned. Just remember that those beliefs you bring with you from the days when we were without

computers are value added to the electronic era.

CALCIUM | SUPPLEMENTS

Body absorbs calcium citrate well HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

I have been taking one or two Tums chewable tablets daily as a good source of calcium, but a friend who is a nurse told me that Tums is not the best type of calcium to take as the stomach does not absorb it well. I would like to continue to take it because it is easier to take and is cheaper than other types of calcium pills. Tums’ main ingredient is calcium carbonate, which requires

a reasonable amount of stomach acid for it to be dissolved and absorbed by the body. You do not state your age, but we produce less stomach acid as we get older, and therefore the calcium may not be absorbed in sufficient quantities to meet your daily requirements. Calcium carbonate is the same as chalk and is often made from crushed oyster shells. This type of relatively insoluble calcium is also found in many one-a-day vitamins. Some people recommend drinking orange juice or eating an orange before taking the pills as a way to increase acidity in the stomach. Calcium supplements, which contain calcium citrate instead of carbonate, are much better absorbed. As a result, more calcium can be used by the body. One brand is

GOT WET, GREEN OR HEATED CANOLA SEED?

known as Citrical. Some doctors suggest you may not need as high a dose if you take the citrate form — perhaps 500 milligrams daily instead of 1,500 of the carbonate form. Signs that you may be deficient in calcium or magnesium are frequent muscle cramps and a twitch in the corner of the eye known as a tic. Drinking too much alcohol, coffee or cola drinks may lower calcium levels. As well, adequate amounts of vitamin D are required for the calcium supplements to be useful. Do not take extra calcium if you have kidney stones or parathyroid (not thyroid) disease.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY | SPECIAL FOOD

Try attracting leprechauns with green food and drinks TEAM RESOURCES

1/2 c. cooked and chopped bacon or real bacon bits 125 mL 2 c. grated cheddar cheese 500 mL 2 green onions, chopped 1/2 c. sour cream 125 mL salt, pepper and paprika to desired taste

JODIE MIROSOVSKY, BSHEc

e are almost through the winter season, so let’s start brightening things up by celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Wear green to avoid a stinging pinch, enjoy Irish food, such as beef, potatoes and a green refreshment, and do not forget to decorate with lucky shamrocks. Our family’s most memorable St. Patrick’s Day was when my daughter decided to set a leprechaun trap. Her class had made one at school, and she had heard how the creatures could lead us to a pot of gold. She set up a course of Barbie furniture to entice a leprechaun. Well, St. Patrick’s Day came and went without an actual sighting, but we did find gold chocolate coins and strange marks outside the house, which was proof enough in her mind. Each year, we still toast with a green drink to good luck and consume a few chocolate coins to remind us to just have some fun. Laughter can cure so much at such a low cost.

Poke small holes in the potatoes and cook on high in the microwave for five minutes, turning halfway through, or bake in the oven until soft and tender. In a large microwavable bowl, mix the broth and milk and add the peeled cooked potatoes. Microwave for six minutes, stirring after three. When finished, gently mash the potatoes in the liquid. Reserve 1/4 c. (60 mL) of the bacon and cheese and one tbsp. (15 mL) of the chopped green onion and add the rest to the milk mixture and stir well. Season to your personal taste. Top with the reserved ingredients and a dollop of sour cream. Serves four. Note: You can make this soup on the stove top over medium heat if you prefer. Stir frequently. Source: www.kraftcanada.com.

ON THE FARM | PURE COUNTRY FOOD

Staying small suits young operators Holistic management | Family builds profit into all aspects of diversified farm BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

HARDISTY, Alta. — Stepping onto the Pure Country Food Inc. farm is like stepping back in time. Darcy Goodrich and his eight-yearold son, Ronan, fill pails of grain from the chop house and haul the buckets on a sled to the pigs and chickens. Ronan collects eggs that will be washed and sold to customers. The mostly Galloway cattle are still grazing in the pasture, but there are plenty of other regular farm chores to be done each day. Pigs go out to the pasture in summer to be raised and finished on grass. This year, there are plans to work with another family, who will raise the Goodriches’ pasture-raised chickens and free up more time for the central Alberta family to direct market the animals. “It’s fairly labour intensive, but it’s the right way to raise healthy animals and produce nutrient-dense food,” Darcy said. “We won’t do it any other way. For us, it has to be principle before profit.” With no tractor and a minimum of equipment, he is the first to admit they are not travelling the same path as other farmers. “I am a firm believer agriculture has to change to survive,” said Darcy, who grew up on the family farm raising livestock the more traditional way. The couple is now in the process of buying the farm from Darcy’s parents. By focusing on the soil, Darcy and Candace believe the quality of feed from their land is better and the animals are healthier, as are the people who eat the food. After taking a holistic management course in 2006, the couple deliberately took themselves out of the conventional cattle markets. They shifted from sleek Gelbvieh to hairy Galloway cattle, from grain to grass fed and from traditional beef markets to direct marketing their own finished beef. “We feel very good about what we’ve done. We feel this is a sustainable way and we don’t require a lot of equipment,” said Candace. “We really feel grass finish is the way people are going to go.” At one time, the Galloway herd was as high as 300, but it is now down to a more manageable 60 to 100 cows, plus 40 to 60 hogs and 100 to 200 chickens, depending on the year. The combination of fewer numbers and greater variety allows the family to concentrate on caring for and marketing the animals while having a balanced life with their children, who are home schooled. “I have no desire to be the Wal-Mart or Costco of eco-farming. To me, that would go against the spirit of it,” said Darcy, who wants to develop a network of other like-minded farmers to work together. “The real potential is farmers working together to empower each other and to grow better food and feed more families.” Choosing to leave the more comfortable path of conventional agriculture and strike out in an opposite

direction hasn’t been easy financially, said Candace. The holistic management courses emphasize building a profit into every aspect of farming, but with three young children at home and a new business in town, it’s not an easy feat to accomplish. “I do believe we haven’t implemented the financial aspects of holistic management,” said Candace, whose goal is to implement stricter financial planning. Strict rules around processing and selling meat also add additional costs for direct marketers and small farm-

ers, said Darcy. With price breaks for larger numbers for almost everything in farming, the regulations encourage farmers to get larger rather than smaller. Those rules make it tough for small farmers to make a living, he said. “We can’t compete with commodity markets and I don’t want to.” Despite the continual struggles with farming and a new business, Candace said they believe that what they’re doing is right.

Staying Small “We have all the confidence in the world what we do is right and it’s the healthiest food we can grow.” The customers who buy their pork, beef, chicken and eggs also believe what the Goodriches are doing is right. About two-thirds of the produce is sold to consumers, mostly in Edmonton and Sherwood Park, while the rest is sold through their general store, The Station, located in the newly renovated Hardisty railway station. Having a store in which to sell produce allows the couple to stay connected with the community and their customers. The family learned through the grapevine that the old Canadian Pacific Railway station in Hardisty

would be torn down. After plenty of phone calls and perseverance, they got the go ahead from CPR to buy and move the old station. With the help of Darcy’s parents, Ed and Lori, and Darcy’s cousins, Lorna and Dwight Granger, the couple bought the train station in 2008, moved it to its new location and renovated it as the general store and meeting room. “Being in town is a connection to other people. I find a lot of really good connections come through the door,” said Candace, who is at the store three days a week. Lori and Lorna operate the stores the other days. The old red paint was sandblasted off the exterior and the interior gutted and renovated. It opened for business in 2010. “We wanted to try and maintain the integrity and look of the building yet still modernize it.”

FARM LIVING They built a wrap-around porch with the help of a friend, where they hope to host musicians or add patio furniture. Half the train station is an oldfashioned general store selling clothes, food, books, crystals and other knickknacks. “We try to listen to what the community wants to see. It’s a general store, you never know what we’ll have,” she said. The other half of the building was turned into a meeting room decorated with original Hardisty train station memorabilia. A massive stone fireplace anchors the room, decorated with train mementos. Community members donated original train artifacts, old s t at i o n l a m p s a n d o t h e r l o c a l antiques. “To me, we really look at the train station as a community thing,” Candace said.

et’s say you’re looking up cast iron with Google and the results are returned to you in 0.21 seconds and there are 79,200,000 possibilities. And let’s further say that you want to look at the 79,199,999th result, the next to the last one. Figuring a two-second page load as you click through the findings, that will take 355 days. Factor in periods of sleep, bathroom breaks and visits to various orthopedic surgeons, and that first page of results is beginning to look better and better. Frankly, I’m skeptical that Google or Bing or Yahoo or even The Amazing Kreskin can find 79,200,000 of anything in 0.21 seconds. As my amazing math skills just demonstrated, proving that there actually are 79,200,000 hits would be beyond difficult. I think Google has been lying to us all these years, giving us, say, 500 real hits and lying about the other 79,199,500. Why would they do this? Well, obviously it’s a conspiracy. Yes, another one, to go along with the Kennedy non-assassination, Area 51, Obama being born on Krypton, the Beast 666, fluoridated water as an Illuminati plot to control the world — must I go on? What does Google expect to gain from its lies? The truth is out there, but where? The temptation to Google the answer is tempting.
