VITERRA | FOR SALE?

Farm groups wary of takeover

Viterra confirms negotiations

Friendly takeover | Glencore may sell off assets, port facilities

Alliance between Glencore, Agrium and Richardson BY KAREN BRIERE

REGINA BUREAU

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers, employees, shareholders and analysts are watching and waiting to find out who is behind a takeover bid for Viterra Inc. A statement issued by Viterra during a halt in trading March 19 didn’t say whether that party was a single company or a group. “Viterra confirms that it has begun exclusive negotiations with a party and the basis of this exclusive negotiation is at a price which is consistent with our previous statement,” the company said. Speculation settled on some type of bid by the Glencore-Agrium-Richardson alliance that emerged last week in media reports. Bloomberg quoted three unnamed sources in an article who said the Swissbased Glencore International PLC, Calgary-based Agrium Inc. and Winnipeg-based Richardson International Ltd. were close to a deal with Viterra.

Farm groups are leery of any potential Viterra takeover that would result in consolidation of the company’s substantial Western Canadian grain handling and crop input assets. Media reports indicate Glencore International PLC, a Swiss firm that is the world’s largest publicly traded commodity supplier, is attempting a friendly takeover of Canada’s largest grain handler along with two Canadian partners. The reports suggests Glencore and Richardson International would divvy up the company’s grain handling and food processing assets and port facilities while Agrium Inc. would get its crop input business. Viterra has a 45 percent share of Western Canada’s grain handling business and a 35 percent share of the agri-products market, according to the company’s 2011 annual report. The company owns 82 primary grain elevators and 11 special crops processing facilities in North America in addition to seven port terminals. It also operates 258 farm supply stores in Western Canada. Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, worries about Richardson getting its hands on some of that substantial grain handling volume. Richardson already controls about 25 percent of the western Canadian grain handling business through its 75 country facilities and four export terminals. “There’s no upside really for producers. It’s great if you’re Richardson I guess because you’re going to have so much market share,” he said. “It also makes it hard for the grain companies that are left to compete, especially with the terminal control at port because some of the smaller grain companies need to have access to that.”

Farm groups wary Another farm leader is more concerned about fertilizer consolidation. Agrium owns 60 farm supply retail outlets in Western Canada and exercises influence on independent retailers. “Fertilizer is one of our biggest input costs in farming, so we really need competition there to try and get fertilizer prices down as low as we can get them,” said Arlynn Kurtz, vice-president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan. Greg McDonald, general manger of Grow Community of Independents, a collection of 24 independent crop i n p u t d e a l e r s , s a i d A g r i u m’s rumoured involvement in the bid makes a lot of sense. “Everyone is very aware of the aggressive acquisition that Agrium is wanting to do in the retail market,” he said. The fertilizer manufacturer is also the world’s largest retailer of agricultural products with 1,250 facilities worldwide. Agrium wants to grow that portion of its business to $1 billion in earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and amortization by 2015 from $769 million in 2011. “Agrium has pretty bold projections as to how much market share they want in fertilizer, crop protection and seed in Western Canada with their

retail outlets,” said McDonald. Independent retailers own about 30 percent of the market share in the crop input business, which is down from about 40 percent a few years ago. Agrium supplies many of those independents with fertilizer. “It’s always an uneasiness when one of your major suppliers, if you’re an independent, also is becoming so aggressive on the retail side of the business,” said McDonald. He said most of the remaining 35 percent of the market share in the crop input sector is split evenly between Federated Co-operatives Ltd., Richardson, Agrium and Cargill. McDonald said farmers are right to be concerned about Agrium taking over Viterra’s dominant position in the crop input business. But he suspects there could be more competition coming from the United States under an open market because with more grain expected to be trucked south of the border the backhaul could be fertilizer. The Competition Bureau is legally required to review any merger the size of the proposed Viterra deal. When Saskatchewan Wheat Pool took over Agricore United to become Viterra it was ordered by the bureau to dispose of some of its assets to rival grain companies.

“Viterra cautions investors not to rely on these press reports as there can be no assurance that an agreement will result or that a transaction will occur and that, if one does occur, there can be no assurance at what price it will be completed,” the statement also said. Shares closed at $15.97 March 19 on trading of more than 21.5 million shares, down from the $16.21 high close March 16. That put the company’s value at $5.94 billion. A successful bid could see Viterra’s assets carved up. That leaves Viterra employees wondering where they might fit. Hugh Wagner, general secretary of the Grain and General Services Union that represents them, said many have been through the uncertainty before, when Saskatchewan Wheat Pool took over Agricore United to form Viterra. But this time Viterra is the prey, he noted. “I would suggest there is a very heightened sense of tension and upset,” he said in an interview. “People are worried about their livelihoods, both at the Regina head office and in the countryside.”

At head office, there are 200 unionized and 200 non-unionized employees. If a takeover proceeded, Glencore would need a Canadian office presence but the other two companies already have them, Wagner said. Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall said head office presence would be an important consideration when his government examines a potential offer and its net benefit to the province. According to a management information circular issued in February, Schmidt would be paid $3.43 million in salary, $3.66 million in short-term incentives and $6 million in share units if he is fired without cause within a year of a takeover. Last year he made $5.2 million in salary and bonuses. Fran Malecha, chief operating officer of the grain group, would receive $4.5 million, Rex McLennan, chief financial officer, would get 3.5 million, and Don Chapman, senior vicepresident of international grain, $2.5 million. All would also be entitled to stock options in various amounts, and outplacement and relocation costs.

Viterra sale would meet regulatory approvals Stock analyst says consortium ‘tough to beat’ BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A stock analyst who follows Viterra believes there’s an 80 percent chance a takeover will occur. And the rumoured friendly offer by a consortium of Glencore International PLC, Richardson International Ltd. and Agrium Inc. would be tough to beat, said Christine Healy of Scotia Capital Inc. “We believe such a deal could be financed and would gain the required regulatory approvals,” she said in a recent note to investors. “We believe it would be difficult for a standalone bidder to compete with this consortium.” There have been conflicting media reports about how Viterra’s assets would be divided among consortium members. One suggests Glencore would get the grain handling and port assets, Richardson would receive the food processing portion of the business and Agrium the crop input stores. Other reports say Richardson would get some grain handling assets as well. “If Richardson is involved, we believe they are likely to purchase certain Canadian grain assets in order to make it worth their while,” said Healy. Viterra announced March 19 it was in exclusive talks with one prospective buyer, but analysts say that doesn’t preclude others from conducting a hostile takeover. Scotia Capital has long believed Archer Daniels Midland is a “logical acquirer” of Viterra, but ADM is determined to maintain its “A” credit rating, which means the deal would need to be financed by debt rather than equity. Healy said it would be possible for ADM to add enough debt to do the deal at $16 per share and just barely maintain its credit rating, although it would probably need to sell off Viterra’s crop input stores to stay within a comfortable debt level. Bunge has the same credit rating concerns as ADM but probably wouldn’t be able to add enough debt to its balance sheet to complete the deal. The president of Louis Dreyfus Canada has said in the past that the company would not be involved in any big acquisitions in Western Canada because the assets are overpriced. Cargill is interested in expanding its market share in Canada and Australia but could face a big obstacle in that pursuit. “The company would definitely receive pushback from the Canadian Competition Bureau,” wrote Healy. “We would expect that Cargill would not be permitted to have greater than 50 percent market share in Western Canada (with Viterra’s assets it would be roughly 60 percent) so it would be forced to divest several port terminals and grain elevators in an acquisition scenario.” She said a Competition Bureau review would slow the process and reduce Cargill’s chances in a competitive bid situation.

Farm poll reveals uncertainty Farmers hesitate to market | CWB may have been disadvantaged because program details unknown BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers don’t know which grain company will do the best job of marketing their wheat when the open market starts Aug. 1, according to a new survey. A Blacksheep Strategy poll of 600 prairie wheat growers conducted in January shows 37 percent were not sure who should be handling their wheat. That is more than double the next highest response, which was Viterra at 18 percent. Joanna Karman, a business strategist with Blacksheep, wasn’t surprised to see such a high proportion of respondents in the unsure category. “It’s a year of transition,” she said. “It’s just early days yet.” What did surprise her was that only 12 percent chose “a new and different” CWB, which ranked second behind Viterra. “I thought maybe there would be more people having some confidence that the wheat board would still really be the one with all the expertise,” said Karman. Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney sees the CWB showing differently. “That’s pretty high when you look at

the other rankings,” he said. Richardson International garnered nine percent of the vote and Cargill rounded out the top four with six percent. The survey is considered accurate within plus or minus four percent at the 95 percent confidence level. Chorney thinks the CWB may have been disadvantaged because it hadn’t yet released details about its

marketing programs in January, while companies like Viterra had already unveiled contracts. “From what we hear from our members, a lot of people are going to choose to market through the wheat board, providing they have handling arrangements with the delivery points near them,” he said. Chorney said growers are finding out there are many unknowns when it comes to marketing wheat, such as how to deal with quality parameters like protein and falling numbers. That could be contributing to the high number in the unsure category. “There’s just so many new things to learn,” he said. “It’s a much more complicated crop to market than canola.” Karman said only eight percent of farmers younger than 45 selected Viterra compared to 20 percent in the 45 and older categories. “They were much stronger within the older age groups.” So was the new CWB, which garnered 14 percent of the vote for farmers older than 65 compared to six percent of those in the younger than 45 category. Smaller growers also liked the CWB, which received 20 percent of the vote for those with fewer than 1,000 acres

compared to seven percent of those with 3,000 or more acres. Richardson attracted the younger growers, getting the votes of 14 percent of growers younger than 45 versus six percent of all those older than 55. It also did well with smaller growers. There were no significant differences by size of operation or age for Cargill’s results. “People often tend to think of Cargill as just appealing to really large farmers, but we didn’t see that come out in the findings here,” said Karman. Patterson Grain and Parrish & Heimbecker both performed better with Manitoba growers. Karman said that wasn’t a surprise because they have more assets in that province. Blacksheep will be conducting interviews for a broader study later this month that will explore how the open market may effect production practices such as the types of wheat grown and crop input use, as well as determining who farmers trust for marketing advice. That study is scheduled to be released April 30. Karman said the current survey provides a benchmark of farmer opinion on marketing choices. It will be used as a comparison for future opinion polls on the same subject. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

EMORA, Aus. — Four years after the elimination of single desk grain marketing in Australia, wheat is still firmly enshrined as the country’s top crop. According to figures from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural Resource Economics and Science (ABARES), wheat acreage easily exceeded the combined acreage of all other grain and oilseed crops in 2011-12. Australian wheat producers planted an estimated 34.7 million acres of wheat last year. Total acreage for all other crops, not including sugar cane, cotton and grapes, was less than 25 million acres. Peter and Pat Allen, who produce cereals, oilseeds and sheep on their farm near Temora, New South Wales, 500 kilometres southwest of Sydney, said farmers in Australia’s eastern states are expanding their rotations to include other crops, most notably canola. But wheat is still king on most farms in the area and is likely to remain that way for years to come. This year, the Allens will plant about 2,200 acres of wheat, with expected yields of 50 to 60 bushels per acre. Another 1,000 acres will be planted to barley and canola and 2,000 more will be used for grazing. The Allens also have a flock of 1,500 Merino ewes, which produce wool and lambs for slaughter. When farmland is not producing grain or oilseed crops, it is sown down to lupins and used for pasture.

“We’re starting to see more canola, but it’s only been in the last year or two that canola prices have been high enough to (attract) more acres,” Pat said. “Because of our climatic conditions, wheat is just a lot more reliable.” Peter said wheat has been a mainstay of Australian farm incomes for the past century. Varieties available to producers are well adapted to Australian growing conditions, and the crop can usually be counted on to produce reasonable yields, even in a dry growing season. Although Australia is known for its arid climate, the Allens’ farm receives 500 to 550 millimetres of rainfall in an average year. Cereal crops are planted in late April and May and harvest begins in November or December. The planting of Australia’s biggest winter crops, namely wheat, barley and canola, is timed to avoid the country’s extreme summer temperatures. There have been years when the Allens harvested wheat crops of 80 bu. per acre or more on dryland production. Canola yields in the Temora area are far less predictable. In a good year, with normal rainfall and moderate temperatures, canola yields can reach 40 bu. per acre. But if moisture is limited and heat stress is an issue, yields can drop to 15 bu. per acre or less, a risk that many Australian farmers are unwilling to take. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

Sheep numbers are on the rise in Australia. Higher meat prices and softening world wheat prices are expected to push flock numbers up in 2012.

Peter Allen, a wheat farmer from Temora, N.S.W., says wheat will always be king in his area. Canola acreage has been increasing but yield variability will limit the crop’s adoption, at least until new varieties with better drought tolerance come on line.

0.04 percent OF AUSTRALIA’S LAND CAN SUSTAIN PERMANENT CROPS The Allens typically follow a fiveyear crop rotation, which includes three years of wheat production, one of barley and one of canola. After that, the land is converted to grazing for two or three years. “Wheat prices, out of all the grain prices, are really what drives the economics of the farm,” said Peter. “There has been a bit of a spike in the meat side of sheep prices lately, so that has taken some of the wheat land away … but it will take the industry some time to make that adjustment (back into livestock) and the capital required is fairly high, so that’s slowing the change. “The whole income of the entire region is really driven by the cash flow of wheat, partly I suppose because our research and our history have been such that we’ve adapted our systems toward wheat production and we’ve become very skilled at growing it.” ABARES executive director Paul Morris said stronger meat prices and lower wheat prices have prompted more Australian farmers to increase livestock numbers. Nonetheless, Australian wheat acreage should still be 33.5 to 34 million acres in 2012, Morris said. “We expect that acreage for wheat will remain strong for 2012-13, and with the recent rains throughout much of eastern Australia, we should be looking at another good production year,” he said.

of Wheat Exports Australia, said Australian wheat growers produced nearly 28 million tonnes in 2010-11. Of that, more than 18.5 million tonnes were exported. Speaking at a grain logistics conference in Melbourne last week, Woods said the Australian grain industry must not lose sight of the fact that Australia’s wheat is heavily dependent on foreign markets. Wheat Exports Australia (WEA) was established in 2008 to monitor Australian wheat exports after the privatization of the AWB, Australia’s single desk marketing agency, and the deregulation of the Australian wheat market. WEA’s primary objective was to ensure that Australian wheat continued to reach foreign markets in an orderly and competitive fashion. In addition to issuing certificates to accredited wheat exporters, WEA was also charged with reviewing the financial credentials of exporters, protecting growers from unscrupulous dealers and ensuring reasonable port access for small exporters that did not own their own port facilities. Australia’s Parliament is now considering legislation aimed at eliminating WEA that could come into force later this year. “If the legislation is (passed) … there will be no regulation in the wheat industry by the end of the year,” said Woods. “The industry itself will have to resolve any industry issues.”

Record acres expected | Production rebounded after drought hit in 2006

ECKOM, Aus. — Canola, a made-in-Canada crop that has been boosting Canadian farm incomes for more than 30 years, is continuing to gain favour among growers in Australia. Nick Goddard, executive director of the Australia Oilseeds Federation (AOF), says canola acreage continues to increase throughout the country as producers look for more rotational options and gravitate toward crops that offer higher returns than wheat and barley, which rank first and second in terms of overall production. Australia’s total canola plantings were estimated at four million acres in 2010. Last year, seeded area rose to an estimated 4.5 million acres, a record that is likely to fall again this year, said Goddard. “For the upcoming planting season … the expectation around the industry is that seeded acreage will certainly be up on last year,” he said. “In a lot of areas, it’s becoming a core part of the rotation, especially in Western Australia where they don’t have too many cropping choices.” According to AOF estimates, Australian canola growers are expected to produce a record crop of 3.3 million tonnes in 2011-12, well above earlier government estimates of 2.8 million tonnes. Official figures from the AOF are expected later this month. Production next year is also expected to reach record levels because of larger plantings, increased yields, better management and improved moisture profiles across much of the growing area. Goddard said the crop is expanding further inland to areas that were once considered marginal for canola production. The crop is also expanding north into parts of Queensland. “If we did three to 3.5 million tonnes last year, we’ll probably do 3.5 to 3.6 this coming year, which will again be a record by a long shot.” Canola production has presented challenges to growers, particularly in areas where rainfall is limited.

Production was estimated at 2.3 to 2.4 million tonnes in 1999, and the industry looked poised for steady growth. However, production dropped steadily over the next seven years, hitting a low of 500,000 tonnes in 2006. Drought took a major toll on production, and growers opted for more familiar crops with better drought tolerance. Since then, production has been on the rebound, last year surpassing three million tonnes for the first time in the country’s history. Close to half of Australia’s canola crop is produced in Western Australia, where yields are routinely as low 20 bushels per acre because of limited rainfall. In other parts of the country, most notably New South Wales and Victoria, yields can routinely reach 40 bushels per acre, Goddard said. The average yield throughout Australia last year was almost 30 bu. per acre, an exceptional number considering that average yields during the previous four years were slightly below 20 bu. per acre. Most canola grown in Australia comes from conventional varieties. Ten percent of the crop was GM last year, which was the fourth year that GM canola was produced commercially. Commercial cultivation of GM canola is still banned by the state government in South Australia. Goddard said farmers have been slow to adopt GM varieties. They are still assessing the merits of the technology, he added, and are less inclined than Canadian producers to plant their entire acreage to GM varieties. Much of the country was in the midst of a prolonged drought when the first GM varieties were introduced. Some farmers who paid a premium for GM seed saw limited economic benefits compared to growers who used conventional varieties, which has left them questioning the merits of GM technology. G oddard said that is likely to change as newer varieties are introduced that are better suited to Australian growing conditions. In some cases, Roundup Ready

varieties are used primarily as a weed management tool that will generate limited income but reduce weed pressure for subsequent crops. “I guess at this stage, it’s being used tactically, in situations where farmers think it will be advantageous,” Goddard said. “They’ll use it as they have to, rather than using it across the board.” The Australian canola industry has had no major trade disruptions related to the commingling of GM and non-GM canola varieties. Production of GM and non-GM canola is segregated throughout the Australian supply chain, and bulk shipments are sampled and tested according to industry-established protocols to ensure that GM content is below the approved 0.9 percent threshold. Non-GM shipments that exceed the 0.9 percent threshold are redirected into GM markets. The European Union represents the largest market for Australian canola, Goddard said. Not long ago, European buyers paid a $50 per tonne premium for nonGM canola produced in Western Australia. Australian canola that is shipped to Europe is used primarily for biodiesel production. Non-GM varieties are required because biodiesel makers sell canola meal into European feed markets. Mike O’Hare, a canola producer from Beckom in southwestern New South Wales, said many Australian canola growers started growing the crop primarily for rotational purposes. However, as management practices evolved and yields improved, many farmers began to view canola as a crop with significant income earning potential. “There’s going to be a big crop this year,” O’Hare said. “With the price differential that we’re seeing now, it’s a very appealing alternative to wheat.” FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE15

Imports restricted | Council hopes CFIA and government efforts open doors in China Farmers probably won’t know whether Canadian canola will be allowed free access to all of China’s crushers and ports until June, says the Canola Council of Canada’s trade expert. “They have usually responded and clarified the situation for the coming crop year in the June time frame,” said canola council vice-president of corporate affairs Jim Everson in an interview. “There really isn’t much change in our status.” Canadian canola seed can be shipped to only a handful of southern Chinese ports for unloading and crushing. Northern and interior ports and crushers aren’t allowed to take Canadian canola because of Chinese government controls on blackleg. Since 2009, when the restrictions were first imposed, Canadian negotiators have tried to maintain access to the growing market and improve canola’s treatment by the Chinese government. But industry players worry that Canadian canola exports will sometimes exceed those ports’ limits. There have been reports that Chinese traders believe their government will expand Canadian canola access to new regions, but no official confirmation. In 2011 China imported 1.33 million tonnes of canola seed, 564,000 tonnes of canola oil and 586,000 tonnes of canola meal. The meal imports are a new development, Everson said, with some Chinese dairies deciding they are willing to move it into rations. The blackleg restrictions aren’t the only problem Canadian canola has in the Chinese market. Presently, canola faces import tariffs of nine percent, but soybean imports are hit with only a three percent tariff. Everson said the canola council is hoping that this summer’s discussions between the Canadian Food

And bigger nation-to-nation talks may bear fruit as well. The Canadian government will soon be negotiating access issues between the two countries on a few strategic products and crops are one of them. “The two countries have agreed to it and now they’re getting ready for a discussion on these strategic areas,” said Everson. “It’s not a free trade

agreement. It’s more of a strategic discussion. Because we’re the largest exporter of agricultural commodities with canola, I think we have the opportunity to have a good discussion with China about it.” With hopes for free trade agreements with the European Union, Korea and elsewhere in sight, Everson said the canola industry is delighted that the federal government has made market access a priority. “Minister (Gerry) Ritz is travelling

internationally and market access is on his agenda and every place he goes canola is an issue he talks about,” said Everson. “It’s a commodity he talks about in every market he works in.” Everson said farmers need to stay involved with market access issues and let politicians know they care. “We have to stay vigilant on market access. We have experienced large market access issues recently and they threaten to close our markets.”

WASHINGTON, D.C . — With moods as bright and shiny as the canola lapel pins most were wearing, members of the Canadian canola industry were completely out of place with the mood dominating the country in whose capital city they were visiting. Few Americans are enjoying the mix of profits, good times and optimism that is common among farmers and Western Canadians. “Canadians, especially those from Western Canada who haven’t been spending a lot of time in the United States (might not realize that while) it’s not the Great Depression . . . it’s the worst (economic times) since the Great Depression,” said Canadianborn, Washington-based conservative journalist David Frum. “It goes on and on. It’s been five bad Christmases in a row for the typical American family.” Frum and other commentators and analysts warned canola growers and the rest of the canola industry that America is in a dark and polarized place right now, and that American feelings could erupt in unpredictable ways. That, combined with a grim economic outlook for most developed countries excluding Canada, provided a challenge to the brimming confidence of the canola council attendees, who are in an industry that seems to be in an unstoppable rise. Commodity-exporting countries like Canada are doing well, but a lot of things could go bad in the world economy. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

FEED BARLEY | RALLY

Slow barley deliveries send up prices Feedlots snapping up supply | Elevator company might be assembling supply for export deal BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Feed barley bids in southern Alberta have jumped $15 to $20 a tonne in the last several weeks, and prices may continue to rise. Allen Pirness, a trader with Market Place Commodities, said that’s partly because barley growers aren’t in a selling mood. “Farmers aren’t motivated to sell until their price is hit,” he said. “It seems like they all have tax problems instead of cash flow problems this year.” Farmers’ reluctance to sell, combined with feedlots looking to cover their spring feeding needs, has driven up the cash price of feed barley in southern Alberta by $20 per tonne over the last month. In mid-February, buyers and sellers in Lethbridge were agreeing to a price of $210 per tonne. By the second week of March, feed barley bids in Lethbridge were running at $230 per tonne. Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications in Calgary said demand is pulling the price higher because feedlots are short on barley and spring road bans on trucking will

soon arrive. “You have a situation where they’re scrambling to secure supplies right now, so the bids have moved up about $10 to $15 a tonne … over the last two weeks,” he said. However, Anderson doesn’t think the rally will last, so producers sitting on feed barley should sell now. “When these feedlots eventually get covered, which they will, then the market will pull back,” he said. “This strength will probably last for another … three four weeks…. It’s a really good time for growers to price into (the market).” Pirness isn’t as certain. He said other factors are driving the rise in feed barley prices, including an elevator company that is buying barley in Western Canada. “A line company is looking to sell an export sale through the elevator network. So that’s causing more localized demand … as they are bidding more competitively.” As well, producers learned this winter that commodity prices, such as canola, can continue to rise even when everyone expects prices to plateau or fall. “The guys that sold their canola early, they feel like they missed out

on it a bit. They’re not really willing to sell anything right now,” said Pirness, who noted that feed barley prices could stay at current levels or go higher. “I’ve had feedlots telling me they don’t believe it (higher feed barley prices) is here to stay. But I wonder about that…. I think it’s here to stay.” He said southern Alberta has been disconnected from the larger feed grain market because an abundance of feed wheat has restrained feed

However, none said Canadian canola, crop or livestock producers face an imminent threat of trade action or other disruptions. “I hadn’t expected the kind of anger that I witnessed when I got to Washington in the middle of very difficult financial times,” said Canadian ambassador to the U.S. Gary Doer in response to a question. “I am used to coming to the United States with the confidence and swagger and optimism, and I think that here for a period of time, there has been a bit of, ‘Who’s responsible? Who’s accountable (for all the troubles)?’” Frum and Doer said the left-right cleavage in American politics has become rancorous, and caustic debates such as the one over the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Texas could damage the crossborder relationship. “Canada has found itself at risk of becoming a partisan issue in the United States and in Washington, a

place you never want to be if you’re trying to get something done,” said Frum. Doer, who Frum credited with having a unique ability to get along with people from across the political spectrum, noted that the bad economic times are making Americans react to many issues. “It’s been a lot of tough sledding here that’s a little beyond what we went through in Canada,” said Doer. Frum said trade disputes might arise soon after the next presidential election in November, but they won’t focus on Canada-U.S. trade. “The coming trade frictions are

going to be much more across the Pacific than across the border,” said Frum in an interview. “We’re heading, especially if the Republicans win, to some pretty tough trade frictions between the United States and China over currency issues.” Frum urged Canadians to not allow border disputes over trade become emotional or too noticeable, as the Keystone XL issue became. “Keep the relationship low-key. The more technical you can make these issues, often the easier they are to resolve,” said Frum. Economic analyst Ranga Chand gave the canola meeting a dire eco-

barley prices. However, that phenomenon will eventually come to an end, he added. “As that stuff works through the system, it seems rational that (barley) prices would work higher,” he said. There is room for barley to rise because buying corn as a replacement grain isn’t an economical option for feedlot operators, he added. “U.S. corn might be $300 a tonne, in that neighbourhood. So we’re still quite a bit cheaper.”

nomic outlook, which saw few solutions for the lingering, festering problems in the United States and Europe. The risk of deflation is great, a euro currency meltdown could cause grave economic damage, and situations like Iran’s nuclear program could give the world economy a shock. But he was generally upbeat about commodities like canola. In an interview, he said commodity prices will continue to be volatile, and economic chaos or war could send a shock through the world economic system, but that commodities like canola should stay relatively strong. “As long as economic growth powers along in emerging markets, particularly amongst the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries, it’s going to be good news for commodity producers,” said Chand. “Of course there will be fluctuations, but it is the growth of the emerging markets that is most important.”

Not so long ago, it was a major news story if the loonie gained or lost half of a cent in a day relative to the U.S. dollar. But these days, financial reporters and bankers barely blink when the loonie moves a cent in a day, says a currency risk manager. “We used to get excited about 20 to 30 basis point moves in day,” said Mark Kelly, Western Union Business Solutions’ senior business development executive for Manitoba. “Now, a 100 point move is not uncommon and in some conditions you will see 200 to 300 point swings in the market.” Consequently, Canadian farmers have become much more vulnerable to currency fluctuations, which is why Western Union and Keystone Agricultural Producers have teamed up to create a foreign exchange risk program in Manitoba. “Grain farmers have not had the same level of foreign exchange risk as other commodities, like pork,” said KAP president Doug Chorney. “However, this is changing as more and more special crops are sold into the U.S. and the changes with the CWB may further accelerate the need on some grain operations to be more cognizant (of currency risk).” Kelly said Western Union already works with Canadian agricultural clients on foreign exchange risk, but most producers aren’t managing their currency risk. “What we discovered, in dealing with some of the larger corporate in the ag business, is that it’s a very underserved market in terms of your regular producer,” he said. “S o w e a p p ro a c h e d K A P a n d showed them what it is we can do…. Now we’re going to roll this program out. The core of the program is education. The next steps are to put on a series of webinars or town halls.” Western Union Business Solutions will waive its foreign exchange transaction fees for the first three months so that KAP members can test out the potential benefits of currency risk management. The KAP program, which will be offered to farmers as part of its member benefits, is the first arrangement between Western Union and an agricultural producer group in Canada, Kelly said. However, the company is working on similar programs with other producer groups. “We’re in discussions with people that represent two other (ag) groups in Western Canada,” he said. “The KAP program is going to be the cornerstone and we’re going to learn from that.” Western Union will host its first webinar for the program April 12.

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT Consumer resistance to record high beef prices is lowering cattle prices weakened, which attracted eastern Canadian dealer interest. The 650 lb. steer-heifer price spread is the widest so far this year. Auction volumes totalled 36,945 head, down seven percent. Feeder exports to March 3 were 4,464, down nine percent. First quarter auction volumes are expected to have peaked and should start trending lower. With tightening volumes of steer and heifer calves, prices are expected to converge. Price resistance is evident as more 700-900 lb. feeders are going to market.

Oats falls behind, canola keeps rising MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE MCMILLAN

n the last couple of weeks we’ve seen a great rally in oilseeds. The market had to make oilseeds more attractive to get the needed acres in North America to make up for the drought-reduced crop in South America. The rally in canola has some analysts talking about as much as 21 million acres of the crop. As the market woke up to that idea, oats users were knocked off their complacency and became worried about acreage loss to canola. From the close March 9 to March 19 the May oats contract rallied 46.75

cents and December rallied 29 cents. But that is not enough to generate any oats acreage gain over what was expected last year and no stocks building. Oats missed out on the February rally and is still one of the least profitable options that prairie farmers can grow this year. New crop oats values will have to rise to stop a production drop. The current upbeat outlook for oilseeds in 2012-13 is not likely to be thrown off by the United States Department of Agriculture seeding intentions report due March 30. Recent outlooks by Allendale Inc. and Informa Economics indicate no big change from USDA’s early forecast of 94 million acres of corn and 75 million acres of soybeans. Allendale’s survey released last week said American growers intend to seed slightly more than 95 million acres to corn and about 74.5 million acres of soybeans. Informa Economics earlier this month forecast 95.5 million acres of

The number of cattle in Alberta and Saskatchewan feedlots March 1 was 959,845, up one percent from last year. Placements in February were 174,067, up three percent. Marketings in February were 143,885, up 17 percent, partly due to the extra day in the month but also due to aggressive marketing.

D1, D2 cows traded steady to average $77.13 per cwt. Sales at the top end of the trading range strengthened. D3 cows averaged 69.81. Rail grade cows were $145-$150. Butcher bull prices rose $1.25. Weekly non-fed exports to March 3 totalled 4,435, up one percent. Producer speculation on slaughter cows in-calf supported non-fed values.

U.S. cut-out values closed generally $5 per cwt. lower in the week ending March 16. While pr ices were dow n, the unusually warm weather in the United States is generating early beef demand for barbecues. Weekly Canadian cutouts to March 9 were 50 cents-$1.25 lower. Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was anticipated to be $1 lower at $213-$215 per cwt.

Hog prices were mostly steady with pressure coming from negative packer margins and lower pork prices. January U.S. pork exports were strong, but there is talk exports to China are starting to edge down. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs ranged $64-$65 during the week, closing at $65 US per hundredweight March 15, down slightly from $65.50 March 9. U.S. pork carcass cut-out value fell to $82.70 March 15, down from $83.53 March 9. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.17 million, down from 2.13 million the previous week.

FED CATTLE FALL U.S. cash beef prices fell as retailers continued to rebel against the high values. Packers, who were already losing money, forced cattle prices closer and will likely do so again. The futures finally edged lower in response to the cash market, despite a more buoyant outlook for the U.S. economy, which is considered good for beef demand. The weekly Canfax average steer price was $114.62 per hundredweight, down 21 cents, and heifers were $113.91, down $1.16. Canadian packer interest improved a bit, while U.S. packers concentrated mostly on formula pricing. Sales rose 25 percent, totalling 16,111 head. The weekly Alberta fed cash to futures basis narrowed 14 cents to -$10.40. Weekly fed cattle exports to March 3 rose nine percent to 8,969 head. So far this year, exports are down 28 percent. Western Canadian fed slaughter for the year so far is down one percent. Market-ready supply approaching Easter should tighten, but packers already own about three weeks of inventory.

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.

SHEEP STEADY Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 413 sheep and 276 goats sold March 12. Wool lambs lighter than 70 pounds were $220-$249 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $215-$240, 86-105 lb. were

corn and 75.13 million acres of soybeans. The greater risk to prices is the warm weather blanketing the U.S. giving traders the impression that crops will be seeded early, which is usually good for yields. As for canola, it appears to have independent strength thanks to red hot demand. Last week, Agriculture Canada updated its supply and demand estimate and lowered its carryout number for the current crop year to a very tight 700,000 tonnes. Ag Canada forecasts 2012 planted area at 20.39 million acres, up from 18.86 million last year. Ag Canada pegs 2012-13 canola production at 15.4 million tonnes, up from 14.165 million tonnes in the current crop year. That is based on the assumption of yields almost identical to last year at 34.1 bushels an acre. It sees stocks at the end of 2012-13 climbing to only 800,000 tonnes, still a very tight situation. access=subscriber section=markets,livestock,none

VITERRA | TAKEOVER

CRAIG’S VIEW

Divvying up Viterra assets requires careful scrutiny

he possible sale of Viterra Inc. to a consortium of foreign and Canadian buyers is less an issue of determining a net benefit to the country and far more one of competition in the grain industry. The debate over whether such a sale should be allowed began March 9, with a trading halt on Viterra shares. They were trading at a considerable clip — 15 million as opposed to the daily average of 800,000 — which spurred the TSX to ask Viterra what was going on. Viterra admitted third parties had expressed interest in taking over the company. A British newspaper later identified the main suitor as Glencore International PLC of Switzerland. Speculation began to swirl over whether the Canadian government might block such a sale to a foreign buyer. It happened just two years earlier, when Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall lobbied hard to stop the sale of Potash Corp. to Australia’s BHP Billiton under provisions of the Investment Canada Act. Wall argued that the potash giant was a strategic asset, and BHP’s takeover did not provide a net benefit. The federal government agreed, and the bid was quashed. Similarly, Wall has indicated that he will carefully review a sale of Viterra, to determine any net benefit. It is possible the federal government may block it, should Glencore not meet the net benefit test. However, as Wall has noted, Viterra is not necessarily a strategic asset in the same way that Potash Corp. is. This is because Potash Corp. pays royalties and Viterra does not. Potash Corp. also has mining rights to the resource. Viterra buys from farmers. However, the takeover is no longer just about Glencore. The firm is reportedly in talks to share the Viterra buy with Canadian firms Agrium Inc., also publicly traded, and Richardson International, the family owned Winnipeg grain handling company. Viterra reported March 19 it was in

exclusive discussions with a third party, but that does not rule out a tri-party asset split. Evaluation of the takeover will also be directed to another federal department: the Competition Bureau. Agrium, a nitrogen producer and a potash miner, would likely add retail farm supply stores to its network should it pick up part of Viterra. That signifies less competition on the input side. Richardson is Canada’s second-largest grain handling company behind Viterra. Depending on which assets it acquires, the deal could signify less competition in grain handling. Whether the sale meets the competition test will come down to how the three speculative players split up specific Viterra properties, and not all the options are negative. For example, port facilities at Vancouver are reportedly likely to go to Glencore, since Richardson already has a facility there. It’s also possible that Glencore could end up with elevators side-by-side with Richardson’s across Western Canada. If that’s the case, these current partners could become fierce competitors in the new environment. That would be a reasonable outcome, but the Competition Bureau must be sure these assets are appropriately divided. There would be other, less desirable outcomes if companies already in Western Canada win the bid for Viterra and if their assets overlapped. A new player in the Canadian industry such as Glencore might be a better option for farmers than a takeover by an existing player, whether domestic or foreign. By far the most important point for farmers is that competition and sufficient grain handling capacity must remain in place. That is where the Canadian government should focus most of its attention.

VITERRA SALE | POTENTIAL BUYERS

There’s no upside really for producers. It’s great if you’re Richardson I guess, because you’re going to have so much market share.

Agrium has pretty bold projections as to how much market share they want in fertilizer, crop protection and seed in Western Canada….

NDP LEADERSHIP | ELECTION

NDP’s new leader will be Conservative government’s real opponent NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

ext weekend, the 11-month federal political phony war ends as the official opposition New Democratic Party finally elects a permanent leader to replace the late Jack Layton. For prime minister Stephen Harper, the 11 months since his first majority win has been a stretch of largely unfettered power, used to limit debate in Parliament and push

through Conservative pet project bills like the end of the CWB monopoly and the long gun registry as well as tough-on-crime bills. Across the aisle of the House of Commons, he has faced two leaders with little legitimacy — interim NDP leader Nycole Turmel and interim Liberal leader Bob Rae, both of whom have been facing at least a theoretical best-before date. On March 24, New Democrats end their long leaderless spell by choosing between seven contenders. More on that later. But first, there is the curious case of the Conservative attack ad launched March 19 against Rae. At first blush, the Conservative decision to spend money demeaning Rae’s leadership abilities seems odd. He is, after all, the interim leader of Canada’s third party, reduced in last

year’s election to a rump with its worst performance in history. True, he has performed well in recent months. The opposition NDP has had a leadership vacuum that gave him room to shine, the Liberals now are running second in the polls and most political analysts really do not believe Rae’s assertion that he will not run for the permanent job when it becomes available within two years. But really, why waste Conservative party money attacking a third party leader for his record as an NDP Ontario premier more than two decades ago? The next federal election is more than three years away. There are several possibilities. The Conservative brain trust may see the 2011 NDP breakthrough into second place as an aberration and the Liberals as the real long-

term opponent. Conservative strategic thinkers may believe that the party would do better in a two-party state where a centre-right party would defeat a centre-left party most elections and the Liberals are right now the weakest link among their opponents. Or it may simply be timing, the last time to disparage Rae before the government’s real opponent — the new leader of the New Democratic Party opposition — is in place. Mercifully, the NDP leadership race ends with a convention in Toronto this weekend. It has been a long and largely uninspiring race pitting former (and presumed front-runner) Quebec Liberal cabin e t m i n i s t e r T h o m a s Mu l c a i r against a field of six other earnest opponents who have yet to capture

the public imagination. There is a candidate who wants to co-operate with the Liberals to vanquish the Conservatives (British Columbia’s Nathan Cullen), a couple of candidates with strong union bases (Peggy Nash and Brian Topp) and Mulcair, who flirted with both a Conservative appointment and joining the federal Liberals before finally joining the NDP and winning a traditionally Liberal Montreal seat in 2007. He wants to move the party to the more electable centre, leading backroom veteran Topp to quip that he is from the “New Democratic Party wing of the NDP.” Whatever the outcome March 24, Harper and the Conservatives will know who their main opponent is. End the phony war. Let the 2015 election campaign begin. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

SOCIAL MEDIA | TWITTER

Confusion evident on human, cattle drug use BY REYNOLD BERGEN

he article, Prudent antimicrobial use key to food safety, supply, in the Feb. 2, 2012, issue states, “Of course, many of the same antibiotics used for human health reasons are also vital to livestock health and production, and they are widely used in livestock to prevent and treat illness. That wide use may also mean greater opportunity for bacteria to develop resistance.” However, not all antimicrobials are the same. In the case of beef cattle, a more accurate statement is: “many of the antibiotics that are used to prevent and treat illness in beef cattle are not vital for human health reasons.” Antimicrobials are divided into four classes based on their importance in human medicine. Antimicrobials classified as very high importance are used to treat very serious human infections. High importance antimicrobials are of intermediate concern in human medicine. Medium importance drugs are rarely used to treat serious human health issues, such as tetracycline for acne, and those of low importance, such as ionophores, are not used in human medicine at all. Antimicrobials from each category are approved for use in beef cattle, but drugs classified as high and very high importance are seldom used. Recent research led by the Public Health Agency of Canada, Agriculture Canada, the University of Colorado and Feedlot Health Management Services found that less than 10 percent of drug doses given to feedlot cattle belonged to the high importance category, and less than one percent to the very high importance category. These

I Many antibiotics used to treat cattle are not vital for human health so resistance is not an issue. | calculations did not include low importance drugs, which would reduce the percentages. The study also found that multidrug resistance and resistance to drugs of very high importance are below three percent in bacteria isolated from feedlot cattle. Similarly, reports from the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) indicate that the prevalence of multidrug resistant bacteria and resistance to drugs of very high importance are below two percent in beef cattle arriving at abattoirs, as well as retail beef, and have not increased since the CIPARS program began in 2002. Cattle producers have an ethical responsibility to protect the health and welfare of their animals. Antimi-

crobials are an important tool in this regard because not all cattle diseases can be prevented by vaccination. Producers also have an ethical responsibility to continue to use these antimicrobial products prudently. Producers enrolled in Canada’s Verified Beef Production on-farm food safety program follow industrysanctioned practices that demonstrate that they select, use, store and dispose of antimicrobials in a responsible manner. We must recognize that drugs of the highest importance to human medicine are rarely used in beef cattle production. Resistance levels are extremely low in cattle and show no increase over time. We must not confuse antimicrobials of high importance in human

medicine with drugs of low importance. Generalizing the issue of antimicrobial resistance across all antimicrobials and across livestock industries contributes to the confusion among the public and officials who must balance the issues around the use of antimicrobials for maintaining the health and well-being of livestock, pets and humans. Research and surveillance evidence suggests that restricting antimicrobial use in beef production will have clear negative consequences for the health and welfare of beef cattle with no benefit for human health.

INSURANCE | PRICE COVERAGE

Pay attention to your crop insurance coverage HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ometimes everything turns out just fine when the spring starts with limited soil moisture. Other times, growing season precipitation doesn’t bridge the gap. If, like me, you’re worried about the latter scenario, here are suggestions for your crop insurance coverage. Of course, it goes without saying that you’ll want to maximize coverage. In a potential loss year, you don’t want to be caught with 60 or 70 percent yield guarantees when you could have 80 percent. Sure, the premium is lower, but the lower coverage can cost you dearly in a loss year.

Twitter debut: late bird but eager to tweet

It’s interesting to analyze the coverage provided by different crops. Don’t just look at how many dollars per acre you’re guaranteed for canola versus durum. You’re better off subtracting your variable expenses for each crop to come up with a crop insurance contribution margin. In my case, crop insurance will cover variable expenses on all the crops I’ve been considering, but some make a bigger contribution to covering fixed expenses. Kabuli chickpeas have a contribution margin of $68 an acre, whereas durum is only at $14. Whether or not you alter cropping plans because of crop insurance considerations, it’s good to know the numbers from a disaster planning perspective. There are also ways to enhance coverage. I’m more familiar with Saskatchewan Crop Insurance, but there are also options to consider in Alberta and Manitoba. One of the Saskatchewan options is contract pricing. As explained in the

program information, “flax, lentils (large green, red, other), alfalfa seed, canar yseed, mustard (yellow, brown, oriental), and identity preserved canola may be insured based on the price at which you have contracted the crop.” This won’t help much on some of the crops because new crop contract prices aren’t much higher than crop insurance prices. However, it might be a help if you’ve locked in a favourable new crop price on some of your canola or if you’re growing an identity preserved canola. In my case, I’m planning to grow Nexera. The contract provides for a “health premium” of $45 a tonne over the price of regular canola on all that I can produce. By providing this information to the crop insurance folks, I’m able to boost the price coverage. For 2012, regular canola has a crop insurance base price of $11.11 per bushel. IP canola is pegged at $11.57, which is the price I would have received without using the contract price option.

Adding $45 a tonne ($1.02 per bushel) to the base price for regular canola brings the coverage up to $12.13 per bu., which is better protection in the event of a crop failure. I’m also planning to grow Brassica carinata (Ethiopian mustard), which doesn’t qualify for crop insurance coverage because it is a new crop. However, protection is available under the diversification option. By asking to invoke this option before the March 31 deadline, I can grow carinata and it will have coverage based on an average of all my other crops. The premium will be an average of all my other acres and any payouts will be an average of all the other acres. In addition to drought, there are also threats from frost and hail. I hope it’s a good year with no need to rely on crop insurance, but I also want to hedge my bets. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

am a late adopter. I admit it freely, since there is little use in pretending otherwise, now that I have a shiny new Twitter account as of March 16. My change of heart (also known as overcoming my fear of social media) came earlier last week at a Farm Leadership Council conference. I had the pleasure of introducing keynote speaker Michele PaynKnoper, an “agvocate” and farmer from Indiana. She spoke passionately about using social media as a tool to educate the public about agriculture, and she was there to persuade individual farmers to do so. Farmers don’t want to deal with public relations, she noted. Farmers want to farm. But in her view, agriculture is under attack, and every person connected to farming should be sending out positive messages via Facebook or Twitter. The enormous acceptance of social media provides all of us opportunities to provide information, as opposed to misinformation, to lots of folks. Misinformation about practices, biotechnology and other issues in agriculture is being proliferated at an unprecedented pace, she said. I was getting a bit uncomfortable, not having my own social media thing happening. Maybe I should think about it, my brain said to itself. Then, when I returned to the office, there was a tweet awaiting me. At the speech, I ran into Kari Doerksen, project manager with Valgen, with whom I shared an office at the University of Saskatchewan. Both of us were working within the JohnsonShoyama Graduate School of Public Policy and became good friends. I hadn’t seen Kari for a while, and neither of us expected to see each other at the FLC event. It was so cool — cool enough that Kari tweeted to inform her followers, some of whom may remember me, that we had bumped into each other. That did it. I was a cavewoman, and sadly couldn’t tweet back. No more. I am part of the social universe. I admit to being excited about it. People can now stop trying to drag me, kicking and screaming, into 2012. Perhaps writing in 140 character snippets, as Twitter requires, will be good for me. Journalists must learn brevity, so tweeting is good exercise. Not one sentence in this column has more than 140 characters. You can count them — just don’t include the spaces. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

Thank you for your wonderful newspaper, for the many wonderful articles and human interest stories it contains. The story about the children who broke through the dugout ice at Hyas, Sask., has rekindled my memory of when my two younger brothers and I went out on the dugout for a late afternoon skate, probably also in February. I must admit that we were much older when we had our experience with thin ice. I am no longer certain of our ages, but I was about 15, my brother Adam 13, and brother Fred 10â&#x20AC;Ś.

We were out to enjoy a skating outing when our parents were away. We were very fortunate that the water was about a metre deep on the shallower end. We also did not have an aerator on it; the ice was thinner due to the tunnel that a group of muskrats were using to enter their den in the dugout bank. As I broke through the ice, I called to my brothers to skate to the dugout side, not to go up the shallower end where I was going. I then threw myself to the side, because I knew that the muskrat trail cut straight to the east. I was not sure how deep the water was, but I rolled a distance on my side to be sure I was on solid ice. I was wet halfway to the hips and had some dirt

on the runners of my skates when I took them off at the houseâ&#x20AC;Ś I took my wet clothing off and dried it before mother saw it. The clothing was dry by morning so I was able to wear it again. You may be assured that we boys did not have another afternoon skating party on the dugout after that experience. When muskrats make their homes in dugouts, it is very dangerous to go out skating without adult supervision or especially when you are home alone. As muskrats also have breathing holes in the ice, the ice can be very thin in these places. Michael Bartolf, Oxbow, Sask.

SUPPORT LLAMA CANADA To the Editor: Calling all llama owners: as with the beef industry â&#x20AC;Ś it is important that llama owners small and large support the llama industry.Â This is your industry and you only get out of it what you put into it. If more llama owners do not step up to the plate, Llama Canada will go by the wayside and there will be no llama industry in Canada and we will then be governed by the U.S. Llama Association. Become members of Llama Canada. For years, Llama Canada has seen a decrease in membership as breeders get older and downsize their herds

MATERNITY CLOSURE To the Editor: The lack of maternity services at the Swan Valley Health Centre is of real concern. Women are forced to travel to neighbouring communities in Manitoba and Saskatchewan to have their babies because of a shortage of qualified physicians in the area. This is the second closure of maternity services in Swan Valley in the past 12 months and is expected to last for 48 days. I feel for all expectant moms who worry about going into labour and needing to head out onto the highway to receive care, especially this time of year when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with unpredictable weather. Having a baby presents enough concern without adding this burden. Where is the leadership from health minister Theresa Oswald and the NDP when it comes to ensuring rural Manitobans receive the quality health care they deserve? I urge the health minister and the local MLA, Ron Kostyshyn, to work with the Parkland Regional Health Authority to find a permanent solution to this problem that has forced the suspension of maternity services.

SELL THE BOARD To the Editor: I just read the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s propaganda on how great the marketing of the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grain is going to be without the single desk wheat board. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to how selling canola has been, the farmer has no marketing power; he is just a price taker. The farmers have been booted out of the wheat board and replaced with high paid government people. Since the intentions are to shut the wheat board down or sell it to a grain company within four years, why would farmers want to deal with the government wheat board? The money they are operating on came from the sale of the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wheat. The wheat board should be disbanded or sold off now and any proceeds should go back to the farmer. If they carry on for four years, the taxpayer will pay the bill for its disposal. Ritz got his way at the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expense. Ken Leonhardt, Drumheller, Alta.

OPINION and new owners do not become members. You have your reasons for not being a member of Llama Canada in the past, but Llama Canada more than ever needs your support now. Whatever indifference you may feel about the llama you own, you owe it to yourself to learn all that you can. You would do this for the new puppy you just got. You would do this for any animal you own, why not for a llama? They are wonderful intelligent creatures that can return so much to you…. The more knowledge you have about your pet llama, the better care you can give them and thereby cut costs for medicine or other expenses. I know that lots of people who own one or two llamas out there would like to learn more about them, but are unsure where to find the information. I am encouraging these people to contact Llama Canada with the

option of becoming members. You do not need to own a registered llama to be a member, nor do you need to own a llama. You can become an associate member. I encourage all llama owners to contact a board member and talk to them about what Llama Canada can do for you. Christina Lanz treasurer, Llama Canada, Etzikom, Alta.

UNFAIR POLICY To the Editor: I am writing today to alert all farmers contemplating, or who may have an emergency situation in regards to, water well drilling. For some unknown or bureaucratic reason, the

Growing Forward program requires that you have pre-approval before any action is undertaken, whether emergency or not. They depend on drillers to tell you about this preapproval. If they do not, any application for a grant will be summarily dismissed, as it was in my case. In a return letter from our local MLA who consulted Evan Berger, Alberta minister of agriculture, they state that this requirement was adequately advertised. I had absolutely no knowledge of their requirement and our well driller did not advise us. As such, our application was denied. They say that there was a transition period from Jan. 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010, where projects would be approved after the project was completed. They state, and I quote, “It is the responsibility of the potential applicant to investigate funding options and program requirements.” I believe this is totally unfair. I would

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 22, 2012

urge all farmers to contact their agriculture departments and request preapproval for any project under any program where pre-approval is required just in case they may have a project that may qualify. This is just another government program that does absolutely nothing for the farmer. E. A. Wickins, Ashmont, Alta.

RAIL REVIEW To the Editor: Re: Rail assurances (WP Open Forum Feb. 9) I write in response to Ms. Cathy Sproule’s letter regarding rail service for Saskatchewan farmers. Indeed, farmers in Saskatchewan and across Canada rely on rail to

move their top-quality products to the marketplace. That is why our government is conducting a comprehensive rail freight service review and is working to improve rail service for farmers. We have also created the Crop Logistics Working Group, which brings farmers, farm groups, industry, rail lines and port terminals to the same table to discuss challenges and to chart a way forward for the benefit of the entire value chain. While our government recognizes that improvements to the system are always possible, it is wrong to assert that the mandatory single desk was responsible for orderly rail freight transportation. Farmers know, and our government has been clear, that access to producer cars will continue in an open market. Short-line rail will also continue to be available for farmers who wish to make use of it. Ms. Sproule asks, “Who is looking after the interests of Saskatchewan farmers?” The answer is clear. Our government, including 13 strong Conservative members of Parliament that Saskatchewan voters elected, tirelessly supports farmers because we understand that the agriculture industry plays a vital part in keeping our economy strong. As agriculture minister and senior minister for Saskatchewan, I continue to work closely with industry and the farmer-friendly government of Saskatchewan to help farmers position themselves for success in the marketplace. We’ll continue to stand up for farmers, including the western Canadian farmers who want the right to make their own business decisions. Exciting opportunities lay ahead for western grain farmers and they can rest assured our government remains committed to strengthening the rail transportation system for the future. Gerry Ritz, Federal agriculture minister, Ottawa, Ont.

SPEAK UP To the Editor: This poem was published by a German social activist, pastor Martin Niemoller, in 1945. He had spent the war in labour camps because of his views of the actions of the government of Germany. They came first for the Communists, and I did not speak up because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists. and I did not speak up because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak up because I was Protestant. And then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up. Martin Niemoller (1892 – 1984) So who will speak up for you when the grain companies decide they want another $20 per tonne for elevation, and the railways decide they need another $50 per tonne to take your grain to the coast? Don’t forget, they already came for our Canadian Wheat Board. Darrell Stokes, Hussar, Alta.

Canadians in spotlight at canola meeting

Growing canola use key to future success

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Canadian canola industry received two proofs last week of its deep connection to Canada’s political and diplomatic machinery. It helped create a celebratory atmosphere at the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention in Washington, D.C. Newly minted Canadian senator JoAnne Buth, the canola council’s president until just weeks ago, received a standing ovation and emotional tributes from council members as she spoke to the convention. She didn’t just fly in and out of Washington, instead spending the second day of the convention meeting with farmers and industry players and discussing the minutiae of federal policies and regulatory issues. An hour after the convention wrapped up, when most attendees were off sightseeing or heading to the airport, Buth was still discussing industry issues with people on the convention floor. “I’m still not sure,” she said in her speech about why prime minister Stephen Harper selected her for the Senate. “People wonder— why me — because I don’t have any political experience or background.” However, she said she had been told that there was a lack of in-depth agricultural industry background in the Senate, and her selection was aimed at getting more of that into the upper chamber.

JOANNE BUTH CANADIAN SENATOR

Buth sounded like she relished the opportunity to immerse herself in legislation affecting agriculture. “We need to keep reminding people about the importance of the agricultural industry in this country in terms of production, jobs, economics,” said Buth. “We need to make sure our regulatory system is science-based, transparent, timely and essentially that there won’t be any impediments put in place for agriculture in Canada.” Soon after her speech, former Manitoba premier Gary Doer, now Canadian ambassador to the United States also spoke to the convention. It was the third year in a row that he has done so, although this was the first time he was physically present rather than on a video link. “My job as ambassador is pretty straight forward: I’m supposed to sell goods, services, canola and energy from north to south, and I’m supposed to bring hockey teams from south to north,” joked Doer at the beginning of his speech. He said one of the first issues he dealt with as premier was the prob-

lem of canola shipments to Japan that contained genetically modified crops. As an ambassador, he has dealt with the issue of whether canola oil can be regarded as a clean energy source within U.S. renewable fuel standards. Canada-U.S. agricultural trade is about $38 billion, with each country exporting about half that value to the other. Growing canola exports are now $3 billion of the Canadian share. “There’s a lot of U.S., American families cooking with heart-healthy canola, and even some of the issues around dairy content, we’ve been able to work with you to make sure those are dealt with in a positive way,” said Doer. “We believe, though, that trade has to continue to improve.” A lingering economic slump has made American domestic politics explosive, divisive and potentially perilous for countries such as Canada, Canadian-born conservative journalist David Frum told the convention. However, he said, Doer has done an outstanding job of representing the country and getting unexpectedly good results. “The ambassador’s ability to maintain contact and communication with all sides of the polarized political spectrum has really tested the out limits of diplomacy,” said Frum. “He has been tested there and he has succeeded in the task and Canada is very well served.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Promoting canola oil as healthy has hiked demand STORIES BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. — When a dragon lies around his den, what makes him worry about the Canadian canola industry’s bounding gains in production and profits? “The key is not to sit on one’s laurels,” Sean Wise, a venture capitalist and Dragon’s Den TV show adviser, said in an inter view during the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention in Washington. “When you’re growing that rapidly, you don’t have to be innovative. You just have to ship product because everyone wants to buy it. Eventually that market tapers off. The real key to long-term growth is innovation.” Wise used his convention speech to tackle the subject of what makes some entrepreneurs, companies and industries grow, but his theme of innovation and concern about complacency ran through a number of presentations. Farmers, canola product developers and agronomists enjoyed discussing the crop’s incredible gains in acreage, yield, quality and profitability but wondered about factors that could limit that success. Many speakers worried about rotation and whether farmers are already pushing rotations too tight. In some parts of the Prairies, the high profitability has encouraged farmers to plant canola on canola or canola every other year, which aerologists and canola developers warn against. Diseases increase and yields drop sharply within too-tight rotations, a number of speakers noted. However, the projection of a 20 million acre canola crop did not worry many at the conference. “We can do 20 million very sustainably,” Dave Dzisiak of Dow AgroSciences said in an interview. “But managing it in a sustainable manner is very, very important. Although the economic incentive is very high, people need to be very mindful of what over-production or shorting up rotations could do.” The gains in canola have been stupendous. The canola council once set a goal, which drew some skepticism, producing seven million tonnes of canola per year by 2007. The goal was

Although the economic incentive is very high, people need to be very mindful of what overproduction or shorting up rotations could do. DAVE DZISIAK DOW AGROSCIENCES

dropped in 2006 because it had already been exceeded. The council then adopted a goal of 15 million tonnes by 2015, plus increasing the oil percentage of the seed, improving the quality of the meal and boosting the yield of the crop. Some of those goals have already been met three years short of the deadline. The one most people think about, the 15 million tonnes by 2015, might be met within months. “That goal is well in hand,” canola council chair Pat Van Osch of Richardson International said in an interview. “All indications are that we’ll plant a big crop and if the weather conditions are good, we could touch that in 2012.” Farmers produced 14.2 million tonnes of canola last year, regardless of flood and dryness problems. “What are our goals from here? 20 by 20? 25 by 25? I’m joking, but who knows?” The biggest gains in canola yield, acreage and profitability have come from the hybridization of canola varieties and the increased robustness of the crop to uncertain prairie weather conditions. Once one of the most touchy of prairie crops, canola is now one of the toughest. Innovations such as herbicide tolerance made farmers’ lives easier, and specialty canola such as higholeic varieties gave farmers new ways to grow and market crops and new products for marketers to sell. Canola’s “healthy oil” profile, which the industry’s advertising campaigns have relentlessly pushed, has also ensured strong consumer demand. As a result, booming production has been met by booming consumption. As well, the development of biodiesel has added additional demand. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

AUSTRALIA | EXPORTS

Australia must watch China’s changing market Disposable income rising | Demand is growing for more fruit, high protein meat and goods once seen as luxury items BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CANBERRA, Aus. — Australian exporters eager to find markets for the country’s agricultural products have forged a comfortable relationship with trading partners in Asia, most notably in China. But a leading expert on Chinese food consumption trends says the Australian agri-food industry should pay close attention to changing trends among Chinese consumers. “Some 40 or 50 years ago in China, food supply was in serious shortage,” said Zhangyue Zhou, a food economics expert from James Cook University in the Australian state of Queensland. “That situation has changed. In China today, food supply is plentiful and you can buy anything that you want, as soon as you have money.” Zhou said there is enormous room for China’s overall food consumption to increase, but the country’s agricultural productivity is also expected to grow. Income levels have increased significantly in China over the past decade, both in rural and urban areas, Zhou said. Urban incomes have more than doubled since 2005, and urban consumers are gravitating toward food that is more costly and higher in protein. Consumption of grain has fallen while demand for vegetables, meat, dairy and fruit has increased. China’s appetite for Australian wine and wool has also increased significantly as urban consumers spend more of their disposable incomes on clothing and goods that are perceived as luxury items. Even in rural areas, where incomes are still relatively low, per capita consumption of low-value food grain has dropped by 50 to 75 kilograms over the past decade. “Per capita consumption of food grain has dropped in both rural and urban areas,” Zhou said. “The level has stabilized at about 80 kg per capita in urban areas, but further declines are expected in rural areas.” Alcohol consumption trends are also changing. Consumption of traditional Chinese liquor is declining and consumption of commercially brewed beer is increasing. High-income consumers are becoming increasingly interested in red wine, a market that holds considerable promise for Australian winemakers, he added. Zhou said it will be critically important for exporting countries to determine how Chinese productivity increases will affect its future food import requirements. Foreign governments routinely estimate China’s future import requirements for a wide variety of agricultural products, but projections tend to vary widely from one country to the next. Zhou recently conducted his own analysis of Chinese food imports and projected net imports of wheat at two million tonnes per year by 2020, corn at five million tonnes, barley at two million tonnes, soybeans at 70 million tonnes, sugar at three million tonnes, pork at one million tonnes, access=subscriber section=news,none,none

dairy at two million tonnes and rapeseed at two million tonnes. Chinese imports of beef, poultry and mutton were projected at 300,000 to 500,000 tonnes per year by 2020. The country is likely to be self-sufficient in egg production, but Zhou said it will be a net exporter of fruit and vegetables. The country is likely to be exporting nine to 12 million tonnes of vegetables per year by 2020 and as much as five million tonnes of fruit. Caroline Gunning-Trent, a fibre

CHINA’S IMPORTS OF BEEF, POULTRY AND MUTTON MAY HIT

500,000 TONNES ANNUALLY BY 2020 analyst with the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Science, said the Australian

wool industry is likely to be a big winner in the global competition for Chinese market share. Australia is the world’s largest producer of top quality apparel wool, despite a recent reduction in flock size. China has the world’s largest sheep flock, but Chinese wool is generally a lower-quality fibre. With Chinese residents spending more of their incomes on clothing, non-food items and luxury goods, the country’s demand for top quality garment wool looks certain to increase.

“Currently, we export about half of the wool we produce to China, and China processes that wool and turns it into garments,” Gunning-Trent said. “So maintaining that relationship with China is very important for this industry.” The Australian wool industry estimates that about half of the Chinese garments made with Australian wool are sold into China’s domestic retail market. The rest are exported abroad to major retail markets such as Europe, North America and Japan.

Advertorial

New strategies for controlling Glyphosate Resistant Kochia. Glyphosate resistant kochia is not just coming to Canada. It’s already here. Even more troubling, it is poised to spread quickly unless farmers start taking preventative measures.

This product provides dependable control of kochia plants 4” tall or less. In addition, CleanStart will control Roundup Ready® volunteer canola from the the 1 - 3 leaf stage, spring germinating dandelions and all weeds that are controlled with glyphosate.

This past year, Agriculture and Agri-food Canada researchers conﬁrmed the presence of glyphosate tolerant kochia plants in the Lethbridge region of southern Alberta. It is a weed that has already reared its head in several US states, including Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado.

Deveson says CleanStart can be applied on its own or topped up with additional glyphosate for sharper control of larger weeds, winter annuals and perennials. Being a contact herbicide, it’s important to stick with the necessary water volume (10 gallons/acre). CleanStart can be applied pre-seed or up to three days post-seed.

“Kochia is a highly competitive weed that spreads extremely quickly,” explains Nufarm Commercial Manager, Grant Deveson. Grant Deveson says the practice of rotating herbicides has been largely forgotten when it comes to glyphosate.

The agriculture industry is taking this news very seriously. There is a real concern that this new strain of resistant kochia will be hard to contain for several reasons.

Kochia is a highly proliﬁc seed producer. In addition to spreading seeds through the wind, kochia is a tumbleweed. It can travel quickly and cover great distances – dispersing seeds along the way. Once pollen from glyphosate resistant kochia crossbreeds with other plants, the genetics responsible for the resistance can be passed on. Farmers and seed producers throughout Western Canada are being urged to reevaluate their burndown practices – and target kochia with products that offer a different mode of action. “Agronomists and scientists have preached the importance of rotating herbicides. But for whatever reason, this practice has largely been forgotten when it comes to glyphosate. Taking the proper steps now will help slow the spread,” Deveson says. Nufarm, a Calgary-based herbicide manufacturer, has recently introduced two new products that are proven to eliminate kochia in a spring burndown application: CleanStart® and Authority®. As Group 14 products, both provide an effective means of controlling glyphosate tolerant kochia plants.

CleanStart®: Kochia control ahead of all key crops. CleanStart® has become recognized as an advanced burndown solution for safe control of kochia and a broad spectrum of weeds ahead of pulse and canola crops. But what is not as widely known is that CleanStart is also registered for wheat, barley, ﬂax, soybeans, potatoes, corn and oats… which makes it ideally suited for addressing glyphosate resistant kochia in most key crops grown on the prairies.

Authority®: Kochia control for specialty crops. Authority® is a next generation selective pre-emergent herbicide. It is registered for peas, ﬂax, sunﬂowers, and chickpeas. This soil applied residual product is activated with moisture, and forms a barrier in the soil to keep kochia out. The secret is sulfentrazone: a, Group 14 chemistry that prevents aggressive weeds from emerging. Kochia, wild buckwheat, lamb’s quarters and pigweed are among the weeds Authority will control.. “Authority is incredibly safe… but don’t let that fool you,” Deveson says. “It does a number on some pretty hard to kill weeds. That’s what makes it such a welcome option for those growing these sensitive specialty crops.”

And that’s not all. Deveson notes there are a number of other Nufarm products growers can use to provide early season kochia control. Nufarm 2,4-D Ester and Amitrol 240 can both be tank mixed with glyphosate, and will take out resistant kochia. Meanwhile, Valtera™ is a Group 14 residual soybean herbicide that does an exceptional job.

Do your part to ﬁght resistance. Herbicide rotation is an essential part of any weed management strategy. As we’re starting to realize, this applies to glyphosate as well. Ask your retailer or crop advisor about these and other options for early season kochia control.

Fighting resistant kochia in-crop. If you miss it at burndown Deveson says Nufarm has two exceptional products for taking down kochia (including glyphosate resistant plants) in cereal crops. Estaprop® is one of the best products available for controlling kochia in-crop. It is a very well established Group 4 chemistry known to clean up even heavily infested ﬁelds. Lately, there has been much talk surrounding Nufarm’s launch of Enforcer™, which contains two proven modes of action to battle all types of kochia. “Moving forward, Enforcer may emerge as the best in-crop broadleaf product for ﬁghting the spread of glyphosate resistant kochia,” Deveson concludes.

“Because it is registered for so many crops, is easy to tank mix and is quite reasonably priced, CleanStart is being touted as the new line of defence for controlling glyphosate resistant kochia,” Deveson reveals. CleanStart is formulated with carfentrazone and glyphosate. It is the carfentrazone component that provides control of actively growing kochia plants on contact.

Beef group aims to build loyalty among buyers

Price conscious | Canada Beef wants to keep buyers from switching to cheaper meat BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Canadians may think they have the best beef in the world, but few others even know it exists. After travelling to key markets in Asia and Russia late last year, representatives of Canada Beef Inc. found no loyalty to Canadian beef, much less recognition that it is a high quality, grain fed product. “We are classified today in the ‘other’ category,” said chief executive officer Rob Meijer at the Alberta Beef Industry conference in Red Deer Feb. 16-17. “They haven’t been educated thus far on the Canadian beef advantage,” he said. The newly formed Canada Beef launched a three-year corporate strategy in January that is intended to drive business around the world. They have learned many potential buyers are price conscious, and if a competitor offers product for less, the loyalty is gone. “They would probably be willing to switch us out in a heartbeat,” he said. Canada Beef is the result of a merger between the Canada Beef Export Federation and Beef Information Centre paid for with public funds and check-off dollars. The new organization plans its first annual forum in mid-September to report on its progress. Past organizations built trust and confidence in Canadian beef but did not achieve customer loyalty. Canadian beef should be preferred over Australian or American beef but there have been past complaints about consistency or quality issues, said Meijer. Canada exports about 40 percent of its production, of which most goes to the United States. Doors have opened to other countries but Meijer said promotion dollars might be better spent on specific segments or a few key customers to get the best return on investment for every kilogram of beef placed in that market. “We don’t just put beef in a boat or on a plane to someplace if you are not going to make more money or go where the money is greatest,” he said. More partnerships have been formed with companies that sell Canadian beef exclusively, like Costco, Sobeys, High River Angus, McDonalds, Wal-Mart and Montana’s Restaurants. However, retailers like Costco says it cannot get enough AAA Canadian beef. “Let’s make sure we don’t short Costco to go somewhere else,” Meijer said. Canada just returned to the South Korean market after a lapse of nearly

nine years due to BSE. Rebuilding customer confidence will take time, but a consistent supply is required and it must meet customer specifications to continue the business relationship. “Whatever you promise to your customer, you have to make good on that,” he said. Chinese markets At the same time, work is ongoing with China. It recently agreed to accept beef tallow for industrial purposes. Boneless beef should be next. Seven processing plants are on the waiting list for approval. As soon as the Chinese certify them, a marketing program will be launched. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said individual plant inspections were part of an earlier memo of understanding with China. “They reserve the right to come over and inspect each one individually. We acknowledge that, but anybody who has the capacity to find a market in China we will make sure they get on the list,” he said. Customers like the Chinese and other Asian nations need to be educated about what Canada is offering. Future VIP missions bringing in delegations to Canada will be smaller and will focus on business only, said Meijer. “I am not bringing these folks to go to Banff. I am not spending a dime on a bus for them to have a day of skiing, and that is all they are thinking about when we are taking them to a feedlot or to see our packing industry,” he said. “They are here to learn and get educated about the product and the value and respect what we are trying to do.” Canada is missing the opportunity of branding itself as a clean, open space with clean air and water. “It leaves an impression with these folks in Asia that food produced in an environment like that is clean, it’s wholesome, it’s safe.”

RABBITS | PRODUCTION

Manitoba breeder seeks rabbit raisers Demand for meat | U.S. processor is looking to Manitoba to provide 1,000 rabbits per month BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A waitress carrying a plate of rabbit meat isn’t a common sight on the Prairies. However, a rabbit breeder in Killarney, Man., hopes to convince a few Manitoba farmers to produce rabbit because consumption of its lean, healthy meat is booming in other parts of North America. In fact, said Luc Laflamme, who produces rabbits near Killarney with his wife, Linda Filteau, rabbit meat processors in North America are scrambling to keep up with demand. “I’ve got one (U.S. rabbit processor) who called me before Christmas and they’re looking for 6,000 rabbits a month,” said Laflamme, who moved to Manitoba from Quebec several years ago. Laflamme wants to start a rabbit breeding federation in Manitoba, which would simulate a marketing co-op by linking rabbit producers to processors. “It will simplify the life of the producer because the producers, a lot of them don’t know where to send their rabbits,” he said. The federation would buy the rabbits from producers, he added. “It’s going to be the job of the federation to get those rabbits sold on the market.” Laflamme said his efforts to start a rabbit federation in Manitoba was partly inspired by his wife. She had experience raising rabbits in Quebec and began breeding them on their farm to sell as pets after arriving in Manitoba. However, she quickly realized there was a minimal market for pet rabbits in Western Manitoba. Changing course, Filteau and Laflamme decided to renovate their barn with proper insulation, heat and electrical wiring and go into the rabbit meat business. They now have 100 Flemish Giant does that produce about 300 slaughter-ready rabbits a month. Breeding rabbits can provide a decent income. One doe can produce 28 live rabbits a year and in February Ontario producers were selling rabbit meat for $1.70 per lb. A farm with 100 does could easily generate $40,000 per year, said Marion Popkin, president of the Alberta Rabbit Producers Association. Laflamme’s first job is to recruit rabbit producers to join the federation. He said the Rabbit Breeders Canada website lists 10 rabbit breeders in Manitoba, but added it’s possible that others are in the business but just not listed. Laflamme said his short-term goal is to satisfy the needs of one U.S. processor. “In the last six or seven months, I signed an agreement with a processing plant in the States,” he said, which would like 1,000 rabbits from Manitoba per month. “If we were a team, that (amount) would be very easy to (supply).” Looking longer term, Laflamme said Manitoba could use as many producers as possible because low cholesterol, low fat rabbit meat is a desirable protein. Kendra Keels, an industry develop-

ment manager with Ontario Rabbit, which represents rabbit producers in the province, confirmed that Canadian consumers, especially those in Quebec and Ontario, are biting into more rabbit meat than a few years ago. “People are looking for something besides chicken, so they’re turning to rabbit,” she said. “A lot of the high end restaurants are starting to carry rabbit … because it’s easy to work with. It’s so versatile.” Quebec has the most mature market for rabbit in Canada, with the

meat found in mainstream supermarkets. Ontario is the country’s second largest market, where rabbit is sold primarily at specialty stores. Keels said the surge in demand is keeping her busy. “Here in our office we get probably five to 10 inquiries a week from people looking to get into rabbits,” she said. “It’s really easy to get in. You can go to somebody and buy some does, buy the cages and boom, you’re in rabbit production.” Keels didn’t provide statistics on how many rabbit breeders are in

Ontario but said existing producers are expanding their operations. Canada could definitely use more rabbit producers because demand is “huge,” she said. Laflamme is hoping the gap between supply and demand, along with the economic returns, will encourage a few Manitoba producers to try rabbit breeding. Laflamme hopes to host a meeting in rural Manitoba this spring to answer questions about rabbit production and his plans for a rabbit breeding federation.

RABBIT FACTS • One million tonnes of rabbit meat are produced worldwide annually • China leads the world in rabbit meat production with 30 percent of global output • 650,000 rabbits are slaughtered annually for meat in Canada • Quebec produces 50 percent of the rabbits in Canada, followed by Ontario with 37 percent • Europeans, per capita, consume eight kilograms of rabbit meat annually. Canadians, per capita, consume less than 25 grams Source: Ontario Rabbit

MILAN, Italy (Reuters) — United Nations-backed global guidelines on responsible land use have won international consensus after three years

of debate, the UN’s food agency said, stepping up efforts to regulate socalled land-grabbing and boost food security. The guidelines include promoting equal rights for women in securing title to land, creating transparent record-keeping systems accessible to the rural poor and protecting traditional land rights, UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said. A voluntary code of conduct has been in the works over the past three years, driven by concerns that countries such as China and Gulf Arab states are buying swathes of land in Africa and Asia to secure their own food supplies, potentially at the expense of local people. The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests set principles for national authorities to refer to when passing laws and setting policy related to access and ownership rights for land, fisheries and forest resources, the FAO said in a statement. The guidelines also aim to give investors and developers clear indications on best practices and to provide civil society land rights groups with benchmarks they can use in their work on behalf of rural communities, the agency said. Even though voluntar y, the guidelines are expected to “set the bar for policymakers,” Yaya Olaniran, head of the UN Committee on World Food Security, said in the statement. “The voluntary guidelines will play an important part in answering the challenge of ending hunger and assuring food security of every child, woman and man in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable way,” FAO director general Jose Graziano da Silva said. A spike in food prices in 2007-08 sparked a wave of land deals as foodimporting countries and major agric u l t u ra l b u s i n e s s e s s o u g ht t o increase their supplies and protect themselves from price volatility. Ninety-six countries plus the European Union along with non-governmental groups, civil society organizations, UN agencies and other international organizations, farmers associations and private sector representatives have worked on the guidelines. The international talks have suffered several setbacks, including a failure to agree on rules for largescale investment in farmland in October. After the working group agreed on the text, the proposed guidelines are expected to be considered by the food security committee for final approval at a special session, tentatively scheduled for May 18 in Rome, the FAO said.

CORN | ROOTWORM RESISTANCE

GM corn growers fear waning resistance to worm No surprise | Monsanto says the problem with its rootworm protected corn is small CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. plant scientists are warning federal regulators that action is needed to mitigate the growing problem of biotech corn losing its resistance to plant-damaging pests. The stakes are high. U.S. corn production is critical for food, animal feed and ethanol production, and farmers have increasingly been relying on corn that has been genetically modified to be toxic to corn rootworm pests. “This is not something that is a surprise ... but it is something that needs to be addressed,” said Joseph Spencer, a corn entomologist with the University of Illinois’ Illinois Natural History Survey. Spencer is one of 22 academic corn experts who sent a letter dated March 5 to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency telling regulators they are worried about long-term corn production prospects because of the failure of the genetic modifications in corn aimed at protection from rootworm. Monsanto introduced its corn rootworm protected products in 2003. The products, which contain a protein called Cry3Bbl, have proved popular with farmers in key growing areas around the country. Biotech

corn sales are a key growth driver of sales at Monsanto. The corn rootworm product is supposed to reduce the need to put insecticides into the soil, essentially making the corn plants toxic to the worms that try to feed on their roots. But plant scientists have recently found evidence that the genetic modification is losing its effectiveness, making the plants vulnerable to rootworm damage and potentially significant production losses. The scientists said in their letter to EPA that the situation should be acted upon “carefully, but with a sense of some urgency.” Monsanto has said the problem is small and that the products continue to provide U.S. corn farmers with “strong protection against this damaging pest.” The company has recommended that growers rotate the corn with its biotech soybeans, use another of its biotech corn products and use insecticides to try to address the problem. “Rootworm performance inquiries in 2011 were isolated to less than 0.2 percent of the acres planted with Monsanto rootworm-traited corn hybrids,” said Monsanto spokesperson Danielle Stuart.

“In all of these cases, Monsanto is working very closely with the farmer and has provided best management practices for the upcoming season on each of these fields. “ The problems with insect resistance have been reported in parts of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota. Continuing to plant a failing technology only increases the resistance development risk, the scientists said in their letter. Moreover, the rootworm-protected B.t. corn is being planted in areas that have no need for it, often because there are few alternative seed options. Scarcity of non-B.t. corn seed is a concern, they added. The scientists said using insecticides along with the biotech corn, as Monsanto has advised, is not a good

FEED EFFICIENCY | CATTLE GENETICS

Cattle sector grappling with genetic link to feed efficiency DNA evaluations | Breeders need more information on which genes determine feed efficiency and disease resistance BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Few beef producers have selected cattle for feed efficiency because it is a difficult quality to measure among large groups of animals. Improved bovine DNA evaluations may provide easier ways to unravel valuable qualities like feed efficiency and disease resistance and link them to sire selection information. As genomic technology marches forward, many producers feel left behind. They say they do not understand the math behind expected progeny differences or genomic breeding values that could tell them which individuals carry the genes for marbling, colour or best rate of gain, said scientists during an education session at the recent National Cattlemen’s Beef Association annual meeting in Nashville. But with rising feed costs and more competition for land, producers need to find those animals with better than average performance in pastures or feedlots to save money. Feed efficiency is the ratio of live weight gain to dry matter intake. Swine and poultry have made great gains in this field but cattle lag behind. “The genetics for feed efficiency have been largely untapped. There is the potential to improve but we as an industry have not done that,” said

The cattle sector is looking for genomic tools to help select sires that will improve feed efficiency. | beef specialist Dan Shike of the University of Illinois. Across the breeds, improvements have been made in weaning and yearling weights so finding the genes for feed efficiency should be the next big discovery. Most producers already select for increased dry matter intake without realizing it because they seek animals that gain more, said researcher Matt Spangler of the University of Nebraska. “It is intriguing why an animal is fed the same as its contemporaries and gains more or less,” he said. The U.S. beef cattle evaluation study is looking at thousands of sires to tie genomic tools to expected progeny differences and develop molecular breeding values. Using genomic information already collected by the American Angus Association, genomically enhanced expected

progeny differences are available. “Does it work? Yes, we know it works. Does it work well enough that I would pay for it? That is a whole other story,” said Spangler. The American Angus Association has created genomically enhanced expected progeny differences on 16 traits, including calving ease, carcass weight, marbling scores, scrotal circumference, birth, weaning and yearling weights. Other purebred associations have also embarked on this research because bull buyers need to know if certain qualities can be found across the breeds. The work is still in the early stages and variation exists among breeds. There is not enough information on some breeds to know which bulls carry the most desirable qualities. “By and large this technology is not robust across breeds and we suffer from a lack of genetic tools to focus

on input traits,” Spangler said. On a practical level producers tend to focus on better gain, improved carcass gain and profit but a one percent improvement in feed efficiency has the same economic impact as three percent improvement in the rate of gain. “We really need to think about the input side,” said Shike. Feed costs amount to 50 to 70 percent of costs for the average operation and when corn hit $7 per bushel last year, the figure rose to 80 percent of a feedlot’s cost. A feed efficiency improvement of 10 percent would reduce feed costs by $1.2 billion in the United States. Selecting heavily for feed efficiency could have some negative effects. “Selecting for rate of gain will increase mature cow size and selecting for rate of gain will add to the feed cost of the cow herd,” Shike said.

His research includes studying cows at different ages and sizes to compare milk production, hip height and body condition score as well as individual dry matter intake. “There’s tons of variation so there is potential for selection. Can we select for improved feed efficiency in the feedlot without having negative impacts on the cow? he said. They have divided cows into different types. A high maintenance cow is one with high milk production, high visceral organ weight, high body lean mass and low body fat mass. Gelbvieh, Simmental and other continental breeds fit into this category. A low maintenance cow produces moderate milk, weighs less and probably has more body fat like the Angus, Hereford and Red Poll. Selecting for the low maintenance cow does not mean they are the most efficient. The cow type should be selected based on feed sources and the environment it lives in. If there is less feed available, the low maintenance cows do well, whereas abundant feed supplies favour larger, heavier milking types. “Their systems are geared for high production and if you have the available resources, they will be the more efficient cow at that particular level,” he said.

GARDENING | COMMUNITY

Urban farms a growing trend for city dwellers Unconventional agriculture | Community gardens supplementing, not replacing, the supermarket, says author BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Cities may seem like nothing more than concrete and cars, but look closer and carrots, celery and potatoes can be seen sprouting up in vacant lots, backyards and boulevards. It’s all part of the growing trend of urban agriculture, in which city dwellers are relearning the joys of plucking a carrot from the ground or snapping a bean from the vine and popping it fresh into their mouths. Edmonton author Jennifer Cockrall-King travelled to five countries and 12 cities to study the increasing interest in urban agriculture that she recounts in her new best selling book, Food and the City. Through her tours, Cockrall-King saw fruit trees and parsnips growing in large metal dumpsters in London and apiaries and vineyards in Paris. A grocery store in London has turned its roof into a place where beets, lettuce and tomatoes are grown in plastic recycling bins. In Chicago, an industrial developer turned an old meat packing plant into an indoor garden with grow lights. Back home in Edmonton, she watched neighbours digging up their front yards to plant vegetables and tuck asparagus between the flowers. “It’s a niche food trend just poking into the mainstream,” she said. With gardening parents and farming grandparents, Cockrall-King was born with dirt under her fingernails. “I love food and grew up as a gardener.” However, her “food radar” started twitching a few years ago as she sensed the enthusiasm growing for agriculture in the city. Cockrall-King grew up in Edmonton, where there used to be lots of backyard gardens that children could raid. During the Second World War, Edmonton and Calgary had more than 4,000 vacant lot gardens to help supplement food supplies. In the

However, gardens were sown to grass in the 1990s and 2000s and food now comes from the grocery store. “We used to grow a tremendous amount of food in cities because we didn’t have global supply lines supporting us with food,” she said. It’s estimated cities have only a three-day supply of food in the stores, which she called a shocking revelation. It was while on a tour of Cuba in 2007 that Cockrall-King realized how much food could be grown at home. In Cuba, backyard gardens are the cor-

nerstone of the national food system. She doesn’t believe urban gardeners will ever shun the supermarket, but there is a growing yearning to relearn the skill of gardening. “The 20- to 40-year-olds are actively engaged in urban planning and community development to encourage community gardens,” she said. Community gardens encourage better community relations, less crime and improved understanding between generations. She believes gardening and canning are better learned as apprenticeship type programs in which grandmothers show young people how to hill potatoes or how little soil

is needed to cover carrots. Growing a few carrots leads to more awareness of good food, she said. Growing food leads to cooking, which is another lost skill, and cooking leads to canning, preserving and picking. “Canning workshops are wildly popular,” she said. Cockrall-King said cities are a natural location for growing food because of the heat island effect they create. Paris has 132 urban vineyards. She said the long daylight hours of Canadian summer means it doesn’t take much room to grow a lot of vegetables. “You don’t need to dig up the whole yard.”

Even a little bit of gardening gives a new perspective of how much work gardening requires. “It’s hard work and that’s why our grandmothers were so thrilled when they could jump in the car and go to the grocery store for their vegetables.” Cockrall-King doubts urban gardeners will go the whole “homestead route” and plant their entire yard to vegetables, but she said it is possible to tuck beets between the begonias and replace snap dragons with sugar snap peas. “It’s a supplemental thing. It’s getting people to taste and know what an actual head of broccoli should taste like.”

Canada’s export partnerships have helped to make canola one of the world’s most successful crops. However, export markets are becoming very strict about the products they accept and if de-registered varieties are detected, canola shipments could be turned away causing millions of dollars in losses.

TRADE | JAPAN

Canada-Japan trade talks move step closer to deal Agricultural exports | Study shows Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential markets BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada and Japan, already boasting a $22 billion merchandise trade relationship, have concluded that free trade talks should begin. The move raises the prospect of up to $10 billion in new Canadian exports. A study of trade potential from a free trade agreement compiled by the two countries concluded that agriculture and food sectors would be major beneficiaries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as a predictable and reliable supplier of raw and processed energy, mineral and food products to the Japanese market as well as Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role for offering important export opportunities to Canada, both countries stand to benefit from closer economic ties in these areas,â&#x20AC;? said the joint report published last week. It said food security remains a global priority that a Canada-Japan trade deal could help address. Exports of food, meat and cereals were worth $3.1 billion to Canadian agriculture and food sectors in 2010; 27.6 percent of them to Japan. No date has been set to start negotiations and a formal agreement to launch talks has not yet been made, but indications in Ottawa are that the federal government is anxious to add Japan to its growing list of free trade

The joint Canada-Japan study that recommended the trade talks suggests a commitment to include sanitary and phyto-sanitary rules that sometimes have been used to block Canadian imports of food and agricultural products. Meanwhile, the federal government and trade lobbyists are also arguing that Canada should increase its focus on India and its huge food market. Fast said Canada is already active on the India file. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting sizeable benefits from a successful agreement with India, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most promising economies,â&#x20AC;? he told the House of Commons trade committee March 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A joint study concluded that an agreement with India could boost

After the meeting, Fast and his handlers said he did not have time to answer questions on that or other topics as he left to speak at an Indian trade expo in Ottawa. During a March 13 appearance before the Senate agriculture committee, Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan said a deal with India would be good for Canadian agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;India is absolutely one of our priorities,â&#x20AC;? she told senators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a huge marketplace for us.

Sheep for teaching and research at the University of Saskatchewan Sheep were added to the University Farm in 1911 while the sheep barn was completed in 1915. As was the original practice and it continued over the years the breeds maintained reflected the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best practicesâ&#x20AC;? of the industry. Initially, Shropshires were introduced with some Leicesters and Suffolks, although Merino and Rambouillet breeding was favoured for the ranching areas. Over the years the medium wool breeds including Southdown continued to be used until after WWII when the newly developed intermediate breeds such as the Columbia and Targhee became popular. By the 1980s interest had swung to littering breeds such as the Landrace and Finn Sheep but the fad passed and the flock is now all Suffolks. The flock was close managed at the sheep barn except for a number of years when the sheep were trailed down a wagon trail, which is now Preston Avenue, to nine sections of leased land from the Dundurn Military Base. That required the shepherd and his dogs to live on the range in the traditional manner. As an aside, for a number of years a small band of sheep were herded with dogs in the Saskatoon Exhibition parade, much to the delight of the crowds.

Initially the flocks were used to demonstrate sheep breeds and sheep management to students and farmers. Later on research projects such as testing for residual stilbestrol (early growth stimulant) in meat, and managing off-season lambing procedures were conducted. Crossbreeding was an ongoing study as lamb markets and prices for wool shifted. In the 1990s a bald mutation was discovered in the Suffolks with the lambs born with little or no wool. Through breeding studies and DNA sequencing the location of the causative mutation will be determined. Although sheep production is a minor industry in Saskatchewan the university flock continues to be an asset, not just as a laboratory animal but for teaching in the college undergraduate and graduate program, for students in the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, students from the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology (SIAST), summer programs and visits from students in the Saskatoon school system. www.agbio.usask.ca

said a Canadian commitment to negotiate reduced protections for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply managed sectors is the price for being allowed into the talks. Last week, the Senate agriculture committee heard two distinct versions of the Canadian stakes in the talks and whether they are worth it. Kathleen Sullivan, executive director of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, told senators March 13 that Canada cannot afford to be outside the talks, particularly if Japan is accepted as a negotiator. John Weekes, former Canadian

ambassador to the World Trade Organization, said Canada should not stay on the sidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a big mistake for Canada not to try to be there, to influence the outcome of that negotiation and make it one that we would see as representing the kind of agreement that we think makes sense for the 21st century,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we are not there and it does go on and becomes a broader agreement, then at some point we will face the problem of having to join it without having had any say on how it was put together and that would access=subscriber section=news,none,none

What can the SALFORD RTS do for you?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would lose our second largest agricultural market in a number of sectors because Japanese trade bar r iers remain quite high on paper, even if in some cases they have been lowered in practice,â&#x20AC;? said Weekes. Ottawa trade consultant Peter Clark, who has represented the supply management, pork and beef sectors in trade disputes, took a counter view. He argued that TPP is simply a way for the U.S. to protect its interests, hoping that other countries will be willing to make concessions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The United States has hijacked the TPP.â&#x20AC;? He said the U.S. wants Canada to join TPP so that it can win concessions it was not able to win in Canada-U.S. free trade talks, including more access to protected supply managed sectors. Clark said New Zealand is adamant that Canada can enter the TPP negotiation only if it agrees to negotiate more access for dairy products. It was not an entry price imposed on others, including the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will offer a solution to New Zealand,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the Americans, who import three percent of their dairy consumption, were to import six percent like we do, everyone in New Zealand would be driving Rolls Royces.â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said a TPP agreement could be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;21st century trade deal (that) deals with things like non-tariff barriers, phytosanitary issues.â&#x20AC;? Clark fired back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This 21st century high quality trade deal is hogwash,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not free trade. It is protecting American property rights.

SARM CONVENTION BRIEFS Division 3. In Division 1, Don Taylor won a challenge by Carmen Sterling and in Division 5 Ron Stevens also won, defeating Paul Rybka.

CLUBROOT

AIR AMBULANCE

As concerns about clubroot grow in Saskatchewan, rural councillors are becoming concerned about who will pay for soil testing. The RM of Aberdeen noted in a resolution to the SARM convention that the test costs $100 per sample, and seven to 10 samples per quarter are recommended. The resolution said farmers may not have the tests done if they can’t afford them, and municipalities certainly can’t afford to pick up the tab. Delegates agreed, passing the motion that called on the province and Ottawa to provide funding for testing costs that municipalities might have to pay.

contribute $1.8 million to help control beavers, rats, wild boar and gophers. The bulk of the money is for a rat control program, which SARM administers. The governments are contributing $1 million to the program, up from $750,000. Grant Peeling, provincial co-ordinator for the Provincial Rat Eradication Program, said that will represent close to 20 percent of the actual cost to RMs. Last year, the average grant per RM through PREP was $1,860, while the average cost of control was $11,000. Peeling said the rat population is changing. The rodents are heading into fields as old, messy yard sites are cleaned up and large steel bins replace old wooden grain bins. “There aren’t as many hot spots,” Peeling said of the population. “They’re getting entrenched in the fields.” Continuous cropping has helped sustain rats that needed new sources of food. Dugout banks and other places are also now home to rats that previously would have lived in old buildings. Peeling said this past warm winter was actually hard from a rat’s perspective because a lack of snow cover meant predators could easily spot them. “They do not hibernate,” he said. He added that the cleanliness of a yard site doesn’t always indicate whether rats are present. “The cleanest yard can have them and the most messy yard won’t.” Cluttered yards often provide cover for both rats and their predators, while clean yards don’t allow predators to hide as easily, which makes it more attractive to rats. The governments also contributed $500,000 to extend last year’s beaver control pilot program for another year. This program is also administered by SARM. Fewer beaver pelts taken by trappers coupled w ith more water throughout the province have allowed rodents to thrive and cause a lot of damage. The wild boar control program will get its usual $50,000 annual grant to help hunt wild boar that escaped from farms and now run wild. Delegates passed a resolution asking the province to ban wild boar game farm hunting — at least one hunt farm has suggested it wants to add boar within its boundaries — and put stricter controls in place for wild boar producers. Delegates also learned that the federal Pest Management Regulatory Agency has permanently approved the use of two percent liquid strychnine for gopher control. SARM president David Marit said the decision will have a big impact. “They’ll have some rules around it and that’s fine, but we just didn’t want to have to go back year after year for emergency use of it,” he said. “Now (farmers and ranchers) know they can go out and control hot spots and next year they can get the product again.”

SARM CONVENTION | GRAIN BAGS

Sask. gov’t extends grain bag recycling project No deposit or environmental fee | SARM delegates defeated a motion to institute a recycling deposit on the large plastic bags STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Rural municipal councillors meeting in Regina last week agreed that plastic grain bags are a nuisance, but they couldn’t decide how best to get farmers to clean them up. A resolution passed at the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention asked the province to look at regulations to encourage farmers to use the bags more responsibly. Two other resolutions suggesting environmental fees were voted down.

The RM of Torch River said a fee paid at the point of sale should be substantial enough to cover the cost of recycling and a deposit return fee. The RM of Samson said a recycling deposit of $300 on large plastic grain bags should be implemented. Arnold Boyko, reeve of the RM of Lakeside, said the bags are sitting in fields for years and becoming a haven for rats. The Provincial Rat Eradication Program (PREP) recommends the bags be used only for short-term storage. “Beyond nine months of storage in a grain bag, you’re starting to see rat

infestation, if not sooner,” said Carmen Sterling, reeve of the Weyburn RM and chair of the PREP board. Empty grain bags also attract rats that are after the last bits on the ground. One delegate said farmers would be more inclined to clean up the bags if there were more places to take them, fee or no fee. Doug Thul, administrator for the RM of Redburn, sits on the board of the Moose Jaw River Watershed Stewards. The organization has been involved in recycling projects for the past few years, first on its own as a

pilot and since last March as part of the provincial government’s grain bag recycling project. “We’ve had a return of about a half dozen semi loads (of plastic),” he told the convention. The last two loads saw total cost recovery, he said, meaning the Alberta recycler is finding a use for the plastic and there is actually money coming back. Thul said it’s too soon to put a deposit or environmental fee on the bags. More bag rollers need to be placed at more locations, and he urged farmers to be good stewards.

The resolutions were defeated, but agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud the next day announced the province’s recycling project would be extended for another two years and the government would contribute $210,000 through Growing Forward. Farmers recycled about 275,000 pounds of agricultural plastic and baler twine last year. Stretched out, the bags would cover 80 kilometres. There are now 10 collection sites through the project: Viscount, Abbey, Unity, Hirsch, Macoun, Kelvington, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Milestone and Mossbank. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Sask. RMs to pay a higher cost for cops RCMP funding | Expense for rural municipalities to rise eight percent

Protects the best.

access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Saskatchewan rural municipalities and small urban centres will pay more for RCMP policing, effective April 1. The province announced March 16 the cost would go up eight percent. The increase will result in the per capita rate rising from $32.45 to $35.05 for communities with populations less than 5,000 that don’t have RCMP detachments, as well as RMs. Communities of less than 5,000 people but with detachments will see $4.20 added to the existing $52.45 fee. Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president David Marit said RMs were expecting an increase because the fee hadn’t changed since 2006. “We know there is increased cost,” he said. Premier Brad Wall had earlier said the province had been paying more for RCMP services but hadn’t collected more from municipalities. The province’s cost has gone up 57 percent since 2006. Last year, the province spent $149.7 million for RCMP costs; $62.7 million of that went to municipalities with fewer than 5,000 people. Those municipalities paid $13.2 million of that cost. Policing minister Yogi Huyghebaert said municipalities are getting more money from revenue-sharing this year so should be able to cover the additional $1.3 million. Some RMs have complained they need better service from the RCMP, but the minister said he can’t tell the force where to base officers. “Tell me how many is enough,” he said. “One more would always be better.”

Food sales increase revenue for DuPont

South Africa slowly expands GM acres

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — DuPont expects sales of soybean supplements to eclipse sales of its other food ingredients this year as customers demand alternative sources of protein, especially in beverages. The company, best known for its sales of chemicals and Kevlar bulletproof fibre, has been steadily growing in the food sector since it bought Danish food ingredients maker Danisco last year. Food-related sales now comprise nearly half of DuPont’s $38 billion in annual revenue. Sales of probiotics, food enablers and food testing equipment are all growing, but soy supplements, which are primarily protein derived from soybeans, should post the strongest growth in 2012, said James Borel, an executive vice-president w ith DuPont. “Soy protein has a lot of health benefits and food companies are anxious to get protein into foods,” Borel said on Tuesday at the summit, held at Reuters’ offices in Chicago. “You’ll continue to see soy protein in more types of drinks and foods,” Borel said. “That’s one area that continues to expand.” Sales of soybeans and other food products will continue to support DuPont’s bottom line because makers of solar panels and electronics, which use parts made by DuPont, have cut back on orders, chief executive officer Ellen Kullman said earlier this year. DuPont sells soy supplements as part of its Solae joint venture with Bunge Ltd. “There’s going to continue being a lot of innovation in the food aisle,” Borel said. “Food companies are following what consumers are looking for.” Borel said he himself drinks a chocolate soy supplement from GNC Holdings Inc. each morning mixed with orange juice. Soy supplement is extracted from soybeans after the plant is milled into a flour. It is popular among vegetarians and those who are lactose-intolerant. However, the heavy use of science to craft specialty food is not without controversy. DuPont is one of only a handful of companies that make specialized ingredients used by General Mills Inc. and other large packaged food producers to differentiate products in shoppers’ minds. “We don’t necessarily have the choices we think we have if there are whole companies dominating aisles in grocery stores,” said Patty Lovera, assistant director of the environment research group Food & Water Watch. Borel countered that many developments in the food industr y, including in areas of safety and nutrition, could not happen without scale. “The fact is we’re able to invest $2 million every day in food research and development,” he said. “We wouldn’t be able to do that if we were 10 different companies.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

PRETORIA, South Africa (Reuters) — South Africa’s genetically modified crop area has increased 250,000 acres to a record 5.7 million acres in 2011 from 5.4 million acres the previous year. The area planted to corn was 4.7 million acres, while GM soybeans were produced on 1.1 million acres and cotton on 37,000 acres, said a report issued by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agribiotech Applications. Such data is keenly monitored by corn traders but also by food retailers

because non-GM corn can fetch a premium in the supermarket due to public suspicions about the safety of bio-tech crops. South Africa’s total GM crop area ranked ninth in the world, the report said, and was just a fraction of the 171 million acres the report said had been planted in the United States. The report said the west African nation of Burkina Faso, the only other African country to have embraced the technology on a significant commercial basis, had planted 741,000 acres of cotton in 2011.

CONGO | FARM OWNERSHIP

Investors wary of Congo’s majority ownership policy Agriculture law to revive sector | The law designed to protect sovereignty creates uncertainty among foreign investors KINSHASA, Congo (Reuters) — A law meant to breathe new life into agr iculture in the Democratic Republic of Congo risks scaring off needed foreign investment. Investors and other sector players say the culprit is a clause that insists that farms be majority-owned by Congolese. The Congolese Federation of Enterprises has written a letter to the government calling the law discriminatory and a catastrophe and appealing for it to be amended. “Everyone says to themselves, today they start with semi-nationalization, and then one day we’ll move to total nationalization,” said Paulin Mbandala, a Congolese lawyer specializing in agriculture. “Look at Zimbabwe, that’s the problem,” he said, referring to Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe’s seizure of white-owned farms in the 1990s. The Congo law, which was passed in December shortly after a chaotic presidential election and is set to go into effect in June, aims to use tax breaks and other incentives to boost agricultural output in a country with enough cultivable land to cover Germany twice. Only 10 percent of the land is in use and the country has been a net food importer since the 1960s because of decades of neglect, conflict and corruption. Farmers and activists had pushed for years for the government to pass the first ever agricultural law to revive the sector. Since the law’s passage, however, a g r i b u s i n e s s c o m p a n i e s hav e expressed concern over a clause that says farms must be owned by “a person of Congolese nationality or a Congolese legal entity whose shares, if applicable, are majority-owned by the Congolese state or by nationals.” The risk is that the law could deepen Congo’s investment woes, already suffering a setback from a drawn-out mining contract review that ended in 2010. Several of Congo’s existing agricultural investors, including a unit of Canada’s Feronia, said the law has created uncertainty over their projects and would likely stifle new investment. New investments are unlikely if the law is not amended, said Agnes Kasongo, managing director of PHC, an oil palm operation that is majority-owned by Feronia. The company produced more than 6,500 tonnes of palm oil last year and had plans to double the amount of land it cultivates. “I don’t think that Feronia will invest fur ther if the law is not amended,” Kasongo said from her office in Kinshasa’s dilapidated port area, where farmed produce used to arrive by river from the interior of the country before war during the 1990s and corruption saw the sector collapse. “I don’t understand the law (article 16),” she said. “The Congolese do not have money to acquire the land.” Officials from several other companies said they would reconsider investment, but asked not to be identified for fear of running into problems with the government. A western diplomat, who also asked access=subscriber section=news,none,none

not to be named, said three potential investors have abandoned investment plans since the law was passed. Congo’s government has defended the law, which offers tax breaks and preferential rates on water and electricity for agricultural enterprises, as broadly positive for the sector, but admits the Article 16 clause on ownership could pose problems for foreign investors. “The Congo could feed the whole of Africa, that’s certain, but we must have investment,” said Marcel Kapambwe Nyombo, an agriculture

However, the three-year deal was not renewed in 2011 as nothing had been done to launch the project, Kapambwe said. He said ZTE now holds just 1,500 acres of land.

EU farm proposal conflicts with policy goals: critic Reduction in farmland | The ecological focus for land would reduce food production

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — The European Commission’s proposal to reform the European Union’s farm policy threatens to reduce agricultural production and needs to comply with budgetary constraints, says a access=subscriber section=news,none,none

C-60-01/12-BCS11080-E

leading German official. “In Germany’s opinion, the proposals appear inappropriate for dealing with the challenges we face,” said German Jeub, head of directorate at Germany’s agriculture ministry. The EU wants to overhaul its common agricultural policy starting in 2014, and the commission has proposed maintaining its annual budget at $73 billion until 2020. Jeub was critical of a commission proposal for farmers to turn seven percent of their farmland into ecological focus areas to help achieve environmental gains. He said it would mean the loss of two million acres of productive farmland once allowances had been made for the inclusion of non-productive area such as grass verges and water body margins. “This represents the total farmland of Belgium,” he said. The policy conflicted with other important policy aims such as food security, he added. Britain’s National Farmers Union has estimated that only two percent of farmland is unproductive in the United Kingdom, so the proposal would imply the loss of five percent of productive farmland. Tassos Haniotis, with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, said the EU average for unproductive land was closer to four percent. “We have never said there won’t be an impact on production,” he said. Studies have shown that for every one percent of land set aside, there was less than a one percent loss in the production of cereals. Haniotis said the measure would have a beneficial impact on major issues such as biodiversity and water pollution. Jeub was also critical of commission proposals to limit subsidies to larger farms. “There is a consensus in Germany that services provided to society by the agricultural sector in terms of food safety, animal welfare ... are to be assessed at the same value irrespective of whether from large or small holdings,” he said. Jeub said the German government’s top priority was ensuring that total EU spending was limited to a maximum of one percent of EU gross national income. “Financing CAP must pay true regard to this objective,” he said. There was a gap between planned EU budgets and that goal, he added, which could widen as expectations for future economic growth are revised downward. “At the moment it is nearly impossible to predict the final outcome of common agricultural policy reform discussions,” Jeub said. “What will be decided in the end will be much different in my opinion from the commission proposal.”

It’s too early to start talking about drought, says cropping management specialist Grant McLean with Saskatchewan’s agriculture minister. “We’ve seldom lost very many crops in March,” he said. “We could have one good snowstorm in later March or even into early April, or a timely rain in April and subsoil moisture conditions could improve to be quite good and then we’re only looking at, ‘do we get the timely rains,’ ” he said. World Weather Inc. president Drew Lerner is cautiously optimistic, but he said soil moisture will deteriorate in many parts of the Prairies this spring. There are pockets of good moisture

in central Alberta and along the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border, but the rest of the Prairies will be drier than normal. “Everybody else is involved with dryness to one degree or another, so really, the need for precipitation is widespread,” he said. “The temperatures are obviously well above average and as long as we continue to do that, the drying rates will be above average and we’ll have a worsening situation until we get some kind of precipitation occurring.” Lerner said other parts of the world are also dry because of the lingering

effects of La Nina. “A big part of the U.S. is dry, a big part of Europe is dry, a big part of South America was dry,” he said. “The longer a La Nina prevails, the less moisture is in the atmosphere. And so this particular La Nina lasted two years, so you can imagine it took a lot of moisture out of the atmosphere and that’s one of the reasons why we’ve been so dry and one of the concerns that I have is that even though La Nina is weakening and getting ready to move on out, it can take a little while for the atmosphere to come back and pick up the moisture it needs to generate rain.” The drying effects of La Nina are settling but may not be quick enough to reestablish the moisture cycle in time to support many crops. It’s business as usual right now for many producers across the Prairies, said John Ippolito, a regional crop specialist with the Saskatchewan agriculture ministry based in Kindersley. “At this point, it’s still planning for a normal crop. I think in the back of their minds, they’re starting to think a little bit about if it continues to be dry, what will we do differently? In access=subscriber section=news,none,none

some cases, you hear of the odd guy who might consider a little more fallow as opposed to the normal crop acres.” Ippolito said some producers may switch away from canola if the surface is dry during planting. Producers may also change the rate of fertilizer application, depending on their crop expectations at the time of seeding or fertilizer application. “I think the big one right now with

most producers is wait and see what happens in the next five weeks prior to them getting to the fields,” he said. March is expected to remain warmer than normal. Lerner said western and central Alberta could pick up some precipitation in the way of rain. Southeastern and east-central Saskatchewan and western Manitoba have the most potential for shortterm precipitation. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

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.

PARIS, France (Reuters) — French and German flour makers have been fined $313 million for agreements they made to limit trade and fix prices in the retail sector. France’s competition authority published the ruling March 13. Thirteen French and German millers were together fined $123 million for a cartel agreement between 2002 and 2008 that aimed at limiting flows of packaged flour between the two countries by fixing exports at 15,000 tonnes, it said. “The harm the cartel has caused to consumers is all the greater because of the relatively low price elasticity of the demand for flour bags, due to the absence of a substitute product,” the French competition authority said. The cartel fine included a $22 million penalty for Germany’s largest flour mill, VK Muehlen, which last year agreed to pay $30.2 million to the competition authorities in Germany to end proceedings there. VK Muehlen said it was considering an appeal and would wait to hear its lawyers’ views on the chances of success before deciding whether there would be an impact on its earnings this year. Shares in the company fell nearly 14 percent. The investigation into anti-competitive practices was launched in 2008 after German miller Werhahn blew the whistle in return for full immunity from what would have been a $21.6 million fine. A separate penalty will see the French regulator fine seven French millers slightly less than $190 million for agreements to set prices for selling flour to retailers and for sharing retail orders on a geographical basis. The anti-competitive practices were conducted through joint ventures France Farine and Bach Muehle, which supplied supermarket and hard-discount channels, respectively, the regulator said. “The whole market was then under control, from the hard-discount segment to the food retailing sector, and all market segments of the flour bags sector were concerned (national brands and private labels, low price brands and hard-discount),” it said. The most heavily fined French miller was Axiane Meunerie, which has been ordered to pay almost $25.6 million for its role in the FrancoGerman cartel and $56.9 million in relation to anti-competitive practices in France. Axiane, owned by grain co-operative Axereal, has decided to appeal the ruling, calling the fine disproportionate given the relatively small size of the miller’s flour-bag activity. A parallel investigation into anticompetitive flour activity in the independent bakery sector in France is continuing, the regulator added. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

SHEEP | DORSETS

Horned Dorset breeder touts tried and true Purebred genetics | Breeder says the horned breed performs better on grass than Polled Dorsets BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

AYLMER, Ont. — There may only be a few thousand Horned Dorsets in Canada, but sheep breeders Karl Bowen in Ontario and Patric Lyster in Alberta feel they’re a valuable resource. Polled Dorsets, far more numerous, were derived from the breed but represent a departure from the original genetics, Bowen and Lyster say. As well, they focus on animals suited to pasture. Show Dorsets, polled or not, tend to be taller, rangier and larger framed than the original compact Horned Dorset. There’s also a demand for wether sires to be shown as market sheep in the United States. They tend to be tight-skinned and well muscled but gain poorly. “These kinds of animal just fall apart when they hit grass,” Lyster said. “Basically, if you select your genetics for grass, the sheep tend toward a deeper body with more capacity.” Lyster acquired some of his genetics from Bowen, who is considered to be a go-to guy when it comes to Horned Dorsets. Dorset sheep likely evolved after Merinos from Spain were introduced to the southwestern part of England and crossed with local breeds. The result was an all-purpose animal, one of Britain’s earliest recognized breeds. Within a few years of acquiring his first Horned Dorsets in 1970, Bowen began to focus on purebred genetics. “There are about 38 breeders in Ontario,” he said. “We’re all close knit. Somewhere along the line I’ve started them up or they’ve got breeding stock from me.” Bowen sells most of his lambs for breeding. Despite their merits, Horned Dorsets are no longer popular. The declining numbers can be linked to the development of the Polled Dorset. According to Oklahoma State University’s animal science department, the polled breed originated at North Carolina State College and was the result of a mutation within the purebred Horned Dorset flock there. After extensive testing to assure they could carry and propagate the traits of Horned Dorsets, they were accepted as a breed in the U.S. in 1956. Australia also lays claim to the breed. It was created by breeding the Horned Dorset to other breeds and then using backcrossing and careful selection to maintain the Dorset characteristics. The process, begun in the 1930s, was complex and time-consuming. It would be another 20 years before the Polled Dorset was recognized as a separate breed. Bowen said the traditional Horned Dorset is an all-round working sheep with many advantages: excellent maternal traits, out-of-season breeding, longevity, performance on grass and superior carcass cutability.

U.S. POLITICS | FARM LAW

Farm supports caught up in Washington power struggle $5 billion direct payment likely to end | The Senate is expected to introduce a bill in the spring aiming for $23 billion in program cuts access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. lawmakers are short on time and money to make the biggest cuts in agriculture in a generation. Failure may drive up food prices and add to an already onerous deficit. Just as Congress took the country to the brink of an unprecedented debt default by haggling over whether to raise the debt ceiling, fractious Republicans and Democrats may wait until the last minute to agree to significant cuts to farm supports amid historically high crop prices. The U.S. farm law, which is mammoth legislation that covers every-

thing from food stamps to soil erosion, expires Sept. 30. A 1949 law would automatically go into effect if a new law or extension arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approved. It would limit plantings and have the government pay farmers up to twice what crops would sell for on the open market. Farm subsidies would rise by tens of billions of dollars and consumer grocery bills would rise while the economy is still struggling to recover from the recession. There are fiscal and policy obstacles to a new farm law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The budget is going to be tough. The fiscal condition of this country is

not in good shape,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Stallman, president of the largest U.S. farm group, the American Farm Bureau Federation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public generally is rejecting these annual income payments.â&#x20AC;? The outcome could be a factor in the fall elections. Iowa, the No. 1 corn, soybean and hog state, is one of the toss-up states where the fight between president Barack Obama and the eventual Republican nominee will be the fiercest. Ohio and Wisconsin, also agricultural powers, are toss-ups. The Senate is expected to move first on the new farm law. Agriculture

committee chair Debbie Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat, has vowed a bill in the spring. Meanwhile, the House of Representativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agriculture committee, which is chaired by Oklahoma Republican Frank Lucas, is holding four hearings around the country, ending on April 20, with hearings in Washington as its final preparation for the farm bill. Two changes are all but certain in the new farm bill: an end to the $5 billion a year â&#x20AC;&#x153;direct paymentâ&#x20AC;? subsidy that is paid regardless of need and the return of millions of acres of idle farmland to crop production.

Both would flow from likely cuts of 15 percent or more in crop subsidies and conservation funding. Direct payments are a top-line target of reformers, who say the payments are wasteful amid an agricultural boom. Odds are long that the bill can get done because of the legislative gridlock expected by mid-year due to election-year politics and budget pressures. Congress usually needs a year or more to enact a farm law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about as dysfunctional a Congress as you can remember,â&#x20AC;? said analyst Mark McMinimy of consultants Guggenheim Partners. However, his â&#x20AC;&#x153;low-confidence assumptionâ&#x20AC;? is a bill will be enacted this year â&#x20AC;&#x153;because the budget situation is going to be worse next year.â&#x20AC;? In the past, Congress passed temporary farm laws when time ran out rather than revert to the 1949 act. While that could happen again, such an extension would increase farm program costs at a time when Congress is working to cut government spending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the underlying arguments are still there,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Westhoff of Fo o d a n d A g r i c u l t u r a l P o l i c y Research Institute, a University of Missouri think-tank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until people believe deadlines are real, why make any compromises?â&#x20AC;? Farm policy experts and half a dozen major U.S. farm groups are calling for a new insurance system that would protect revenue against a disastrous drop in incomes while allowing the government to save money on a five-year farm law. However, a sizable number of growers, particularly rice and peanut farmers, are skeptical that revenue protection will be good for them. They prefer the decades-old system, with a dose of higher support prices. There is strong sentiment in farm country that a strong crop insurance program should be top priority, even if other farm supports wither. As a result, Congress is on track for a farm law that lets farmers choose the approach they want rather than the usual single system for all. Stabenow and Lucas said a â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-size fits allâ&#x20AC;? plan may be impossible this time. They wrote a draft in private that offers three subsidy plans. It lets grain and soybean growers choose between revenue protection or higher supports while cotton growers get a separate plan built around loan rates and revenue insurance. Farm state lawmakers say a federal safety net is vital for the inevitable downturn ahead. In hard times, the subsidies help growers survive. For instance, far m subsidies amounted to half of net farm income in 2000, when grain prices were low. Stabenow and Lucas are aiming for $23 billion in cuts in farm bill programs over 10 years, but that could be only the starting point for negotiations. Obama has proposed $32 billion in cuts. House Republicans may seek vast cuts. The 2012 law could bring the largest cuts in a generation since the 1990 law, which was the first step toward deregulation of U.S. agriculture. Passed during a government-wide fiscal retrenchment, that law cut crop subsidies by $13.6 billion over five years, or 18 percent more than the cuts suggested by Lucas and Stabenow.

INFLATION | FOOD PRICES

FAO confident prices won’t reach 2011 highs Grain supply and demand in balance, says economist access=subscriber section=news,none,none

MILAN, Italy (Reuters) — Inflation concerns have emerged as global food prices rose for a second straight month in February, the United Nations’ food index showed. World food prices were up one percent month-on-month in February, driven by gains in cereals, vegetable oils and sugar, but were still 10 percent off a record high hit in February 2011, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization said. The FAO’s chief economist played down further rises in the near term, looking for stabilization as crop seasons progress in main producing countries. “I don’t think the events of the last two months are going to be sustained in the coming months, although there is always a risk,” Abdolreza Abbassian said. “But the early (crop) indications suggest that we should not be worried too much about the return to the kind of price levels we had last year this time. We are far from that,” he said. Food prices hit record highs in February 2011, helping to stoke unrest related to the Arab Spring. Prices have fallen since then, but their upturn in the first two months of 2012 is raising inflation concerns. International markets have been brisk with major buying interest from Iran, which is paying a premium for grain in the face of toughened western sanctions. FAO’s food price index, which measures monthly price changes for a food basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy, meat and sugar, averaged 215.3 points in February, up from a revised 212.8 points in January. World wheat output this year is expected to fall 1.4 percent from last year’s record crop to 690 million tonnes, but it would still remain above the average of the past five years, the FAO said separately in its Crop Prospects and Food Situation report. “Although plantings have increased or are forecast to increase in many countries in response to continuing strong prices, a return to average yields is expected in areas where record highs were achieved last year,” it said. The FAO has raised its estimate of world cereal production in 2011-12 to 2.344 billion tonnes from a previous estimate of 2.327 billion tonnes. It has also increased its estimate of

world grain stocks at the end of the season in 2012 to 518 million tonnes from an earlier estimated 516 million tonnes. “Assuming good weather and if production forecasts materialize, we are more or less going into a situation where we can say that supplydemand balance for different cereals is going to be much more comfortable in 2012-13 (than in the previous season),” Abbassian said.

“We want to educate our growers and keep them up on the newest trends in tree fruits,” said Hank Markgraf, field services manager for the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative, which organizes the forum. “We’ve brought in speakers to talk about insect control and disease control, and a speaker on world trends with economics because that ties into our business. We have break-out sessions with new products to help us grow our crops more efficiently.” Summerland apple grower Joe Sardinha, who is past-president of the BCFGA, was enthusiastic about

the forum’s educational aspect of the forum. “Every grower here will have something to take home. Even if they’re experienced growers who have been in the business for 30 to 40 years, they will have a take-home piece of information they might not have thought of,” he said. “There are also exhibitors here with interesting products, which gives growers a chance to take a look at the latest and greatest from fertilizers to farm equipment.” Fruit production in the Okanagan is changing: old apple varieties are being ripped out as new ones such as Honeycrisp, Ambrosia and Pink Lady are planted, while some growers are switching to cherries. “We have to be aware of that and make sure our growers, if they want to go into that or are into that, are in on the latest trends,” said Markgraf. The soft fruit award is even sweeter for the Nortons because they won it following their best year in 23 years of growing cherries. “We were thrilled,” said the third generation Oliver orchardist, who grows 20 acres of cherries and six of peaches on the farm started by his grandfather. “It’s nice to get peer and industry recognition. We put a lot into getting to where we are.” Apples, orchard awards

Two other awards were also handed out at the forum. The golden apple award was won by Avtar and Ronnie Mann of Vernon, and the compact orchard award by Rawd Potter of Summerland. The Nortons sell half their crop offshore and half in Canada but hope the award will help attract more Canadian customers. “It’s good for marketing, which is one of the reasons we’re extra happy,” said Norton, founding president of the Okanagan Kootenay Cherry Growers Association. “But it doesn’t matter what awards you get. You live and die on arrivals. Delivering the best product we can has been the focus of our operation.” Markgraf said the Okanagan fruit industry is such a small player in the world marketplace that it has to stay informed and innovative to survive, which makes education crucial. “Our industry is small, but we are connected with the world by getting speakers from Germany, Washington, Oregon and California and letting our growers hear that there are other things going on in the world and help them do a better job,” said Markgraf, who operates the apple orchard he bought from his parents. “I’m a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. I have to know a little of everything so I can advise growers who have been in the industry all their lives and growers who got into it last year,” said Markgraf, who, despite organizing the forum, still found time to attend some sessions. “As an adviser, you have to be on top of it. That’s tough. Everything is coming at you faster. My job in the spring is to help you prune and train your trees, then, later in spring, tell you how to control insects and diseases. And then my job is tell you to pick all that fruit at the best time so we can store it and sell it.”

Attendance at the March 3 bison sale in North Battleford, Sask., was good news for Saskatchewan Bison Association president Les Kroeger. “Some of the bigger players in the marketing were there. The future looks pretty strong and the markets are holding very well,” he said. While record high bison meat prices have created optimism in the industry, there is also concern that they are reducing demand. “The thing that we’re looking most at is to try to ensure that we can keep filling the markets that are there. If you don’t fill the markets, you stand to lose them: meat, wholesale, retail market,” he said. “The demand is still there for the high-end cuts. There’s still a demand in the European market and a large part of our domestic market isn’t getting filled right now because of the shortage of good animals.” The grand champion male was awarded to Elk Valley Ranches, which sold for $6,000.00.

Equipment ergonomics = productivity Comfort critical | Cabs now designed around humans, not technology BY MICHAEL RAINE

KYLE DOOLEY

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CNH

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Many people think this is how farm machinery manufacturers make a better ag power unit: put in a bigger engine, add some cool guidance tools and machine productivity software, throw in a bigger hydraulic pump and maybe add a couple of power take-offs. But putting all the power and tools together in the right places and in the right way is key to getting the most hours out of the one part of the machine that can’t be improved upon: the operator. “Ergonomics isn’t likely what you think when you talk about farm machinery, but a lot of work goes into making all that power as useful as possible,” said Kyle Dooley of CNH. Dooley told the American Society of

Agricultural and Biological Engineers in Louisville last month that effective design in farm equipment ensures that producers can comfortably work longer hours and more safely. “When one thinks of ergonomics, one might be thinking of a pseudo science of the 1980s. Like astrology, except less useful,” he said. “My definition is that if a human touches it, ergonomics is involved.” He said many of the modern elements of machine cabs were designed around humans rather than technology. “Moves to touch screens and other technology such as seating, heat and cooling, controls and lighting allow people to interact with their machines,” said Dooley, a transplanted Canadian kinesiologist.

This is what the CaseIH Steiger cab looked like before the new controller monitor system was installed. The prototype was used to ensure all of the machine’s controls were located with the operator in mind. “Ergonomics is optimizing industrial engineering. Human involvement is everywhere on a farm, more

than any industry.” In 1900, 38 percent of North Americans worked to feed the rest of the population. Today, three percent feed 97 percent. “That is done with technology. What it has also done is put a great deal of responsibility for food production and a lot of risk in the hands of fewer and fewer farmers,” said Dooley. He said CNH has 2,000 engineers developing 160 products for 40 lines of business. “We have three folks working on ergonomics. And that is actually pretty good compared to some companies.” Dooley has worked on the CaseIH Magnum, Steiger and Puma tractors, AFX combines, New Holland Boomer tractors, New Holland CR/CX combines and FR forage harvesters. “ We t a k e a l o t f ro m m i l i t a r y research, where seated operators are expected to perform at high levels for long periods of time,” he said. “That’s where we got GPS and touch screen technology, too.” Designers use real people wearing digital exoskeletons to create virtual machines. “Then a prototype is built and we begin testing our designs. We had a

group of farmers design the (control handle) in the new tractors. They got to feel how it would work and make sure we built it from their point of view,” he said. “And there might not be one right answer for a design. Sometimes it is a brand’s tradition that sets out the way something might be built.” For instance, the hydraulics have a knob in a Case IH tractor while the sister New Holland machine has a sliding switch. “If we build the machines right, then farmers can work longer and more productively with less lost time to injuries and stress,” he said. “That means they are more profitable and more food gets produced.” He said current designs on the drawing boards have more cameras and bigger mirrors, but there will always be room for the human element. “We still need to keep the feeling of operations alive. It has been found that in remote, unmanned machine operation, that operators’ visual systems are over-taxed because a single sense is over-used. People are able to work better if they can feel, hear and see a machine, than if all they can do is see it run.”

PRODUCTION GRAIN STORAGE | CANOLA

RESEARCHERS FOUND CAKING IN CANOLA WITH A MOISTURE CONTENT OF

Don’t bag wet canola, warn researchers A farmer blames spoilage on improperly sealed bags BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

University of Manitoba researchers have concluded that farmers should not store wet canola in grain bags because canola at 14 percent moisture content begins to spoil after only six weeks. “Fourteen percent moisture content is not a moisture content at which you should be storing canola in these bags under Manitoba conditions or, I would say, Canadian conditions,” Digvir Jayas, vice-president of research and a grain storage scientist at the U of M, told the Manitoba Canola Growers Association annual meeting in Brandon in late February. However, Grain Bags Canada president Aaron Yeager of Lake Lenore, Sask., said Jayas’ conclusion doesn’t reflect the on-farm reality in Western Canada. “I don’t agree with that,” said Yeager, who conducted a grain bagging demonstration for canola growers at Brandon meeting. “Hundreds of farmers in Saskatchewan will prove that wrong.” Yeager said he has bagged canola on his farm at 15 percent moisture content in the fall and not taken it out of the grain bag until the following June. A tiny fraction of the crop had spoiled, but almost all of it was fine, he said. Bernie Schloorlemmer, who farms near Rycroft, Alta., said he regularly stores tough canola in bags. “The bottom line is if it’s tough, we put it in a bag; if it’s dry we put it in a bin,” said Schloorlemmer. “We have a big farm and we don’t even own a dryer; we have such confidence in putting tough grain in bags.” However, Jayas isn’t convinced. In October 2010, he and other U of M researchers loaded 20 tonnes of canola into grain bags to see how long the oilseed could safely be stored. The bags were filled with canola with eight, 10 and 14 percent moisture content. The scientists collected data on temperature and carbon dioxide inside the bags as well as grain samples to monitor for spoilage. The dry canola and the 10 percent moisture content canola looked good when the scientists unloaded the bags in August 2011. “Eight percent moisture content canola was stored safely for a 10 month period and we think it could be stored longer than that,” Jayas said. “And 10 percent moisture content canola also stored reasonably well.” However, the canola that went into the bags at 14 percent moisture content had to be removed with a front end loader because significant caking had occurred. “Most of that grain went for animal feed,” Jayas said. Having concluded that 14 percent canola is too wet for grain bags, Jayas and his team began another bagging

experiment last fall, looking at canola with 12 percent moisture content. Yeager, whose company worked with U of M researchers and said he respects what they’re tr ying to accomplish, noted their results were skewed because they likely didn’t seal the grain bags properly. “For grain to spoil it needs oxygen.

So if you’ve got everything sealed off, it won’t spoil,” Yeager said. Despite his reservations, Jayas agreed that grain bags can reduce the time and cost of trucking grain to a bin in the farmyard and the bags can be used to store overflow. Yeager said farmers renting land or producers looking to retire don’t

have to spend money on steel bins if they bag their grain. “Why would you want to buy a bin for land you don’t even know you’re going to have in three years?” Yeager admitted one drawback of leaving large plastic bags in a field is that ravens like to poke holes in them. Despite that issue, he said many

farmers in Canada must believe that grain bags are a viable option to steel bins because industry sales are “doubling every single year.” For more information on sealing grain bags properly, check with your local grain bag dealer because companies provide different guidelines on how to close bags.

Stalk Stomper smashes through tire-tough trash BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — Sharp stalks from corn, canola and sunflowers can do a lot of damage to rubber tracks and

tires, especially when the rubber is new. Rubber is most susceptible to cuts in the first 18 months while curing. However, deep cuts can occur even once the rubber has hardened, says

John Wilke, Canadian dealer for the Minnesota-built Stalk Stomper. The Stalk Stomper is like a short wide ski with an aggressive leading edge, much like old wooden toboggans. It’s made of heavy steel with a access=subscriber section=production,crops,news

quarter inch UHMW poly liner bonded to the bottom surface that contacts the stalks. When mounted to the front of combines and tractors, the spring loaded Stomper runs along at ground level, knocking down stalks in front of the lead tires. “It doesn’t actually break the stalks. It mainly pushes them down to make them lean over so the tire or track just rolls on over,” said Wilke. “We only put them on the lead tires. On combines and tractors, it’s usually the front tires that get cut. They have a big list of different designs and setups to cover all the combinations of combines and tractors with tracks, singles, duals and triples.” On tractors, the Stompers mount to a four-inch square steel beam that lifts hydraulically. The hydraulics can be tied to the implement circuit so that the Stomper lifts at the same time as the implement. They can also have an independent control. On combines, the Stompers mount to a two-inch square beam attached to the header. They go up and down with the header hydraulics. The company has also developed an option it calls the Automatic Lift Switch, which automatically raises the Stompers when the tractor or combine is put in reverse.

STALK STOMPER

The Stalk Stomper flattens the stalk so the tire or track rolls over it rather than burying it.

The kits require no welding or drilling. The quick disconnect allows the device to be removed by just one person. Prices for combine Stomper kits are less than for tractor kits because tractors require more mounting hardware and hydraulics. Combine kits are $500 to $550 per protected tire. Tractor kits with all hardware and hydraulics are $3,600 to $7,000, depending on the combination of track and tire sizes.

PRECISION AG | SOLAR INTERFERENCE

Solar Cycle 24 may cause havoc for GPS farm instruments PRECISION PAM

PAMELA WILSON

olar Cycle 24 will focus its force on precision agriculture instruments across North America this year. Sunspots are on the rise. The peak of the last 11-year cycle of solar activity is happening now, bringing concerns about GPS reliability over the next couple years. Sunspots, also called solar flares, appear as dark spots on the sun where solar temperatures drop. They usually come in groups of two sets of spots, with one set being positively charged and the other set negatively charged. Sunspots last for several days or weeks, causing strong magnetic energy to be released towards the earth. These bursts of charged particles can interfere with our own magnetic fields. The added radiation can affect GPS satellites. Solar flares cause geomagnetic storms manifested as brilliant aurora borealis. Green is a common colour, but red means intense storm action. The Carrington flare of 1859 was the most intense solar storm recorded to date. The skies erupted in red, green,

and purple auroras and could be seen in tropical latitudes such as Cuba and the Bahamas. It disrupted the worldwide telegraph system as spark discharges shocked telegraph operators and lit telegraph paper on fire. In 1989, a major solar storm caused a nine-hour power outage in Quebec that affected six million people. The charged particles from solar flares produce intense bursts of radio noise on the same frequency as GPS and can interfere with GPS reception. A flare could impede GPS signals for hours or days. The cycles peak every 11 years or so. The 2001 cycle tailed off around 2003. In 2005 and 2006 there were a couple larger, unexpected flares. Precision agriculture was just starting to take off during that peak activity and there were many outages. One precision agriculture company had to scrap all its antenna/ receivers and replace them with higher quality components. That season the expensive equipment didn’t perform well for producers, leaving them angry with dealers. Some studies say the current Solar Maximum will be better than 2001 and some say 2012 will be 30 to 50 percent worse. Sun spots can’t be predicted, but solar energy takes a couple of days to reach us, so we do get a two day heads up that it’s coming. There are solar weather websites and a sunspot app that can be downloaded to help take the surprise out of losing

GPS accuracy. Last year there were signs of minor GPS accuracy loss by farmers. Some experienced complete outages for hours and others had a lower than normal numbers of satellites. This caused lower accuracy and frustrating field conditions. Many of the affected producers received a “High DOP” dilution of precision warning on their GPS units, which signified that the accuracy was not reliable enough to use automated steering systems. Two substantial solar flare events in the first half of March demonstrated amazing aurora borealis, but without GPS units in the field, signal loss issues for farmers aren’t known.

I noticed an interesting trend while gathering data for Assiniboine Community College these past couple weeks. Data was collected with the differential correction WAAS signal turned on and off. Normally, the locations with the correction signal turned on would be much more accurate than the data gathered without it. The opposite happened. With the signal on, data was sporadically scattered over an area twice as large as the area from the non-corrected data. This could stem from the fact that the differential satellites (WAAS, Omnistar, StarFire) are at a higher orbit around the earth than regular GPS satellites. Regular GPS satellites are much lower in orbit and travel much faster, hence the lower accuracy. WAAS is a geostationary satellite orbiting with the earth’s rotation, at the same place in the sky all the time, delivering GPS correction down to inches. It’s also closer to the sun, which means it gets more solar energy earlier. Solar flares also affect television reception, cellular towers and other communication devices, but being further away it might reduce the problems. However, this means there may be accuracy or signal loss for the popular cellular modem RTK systems. All precision agriculture will be affected if there is solar interference this year, from a producer’s auto-

mated steering to the consultant gathering field data for variable rate application maps. Precise variable rate maps are critical for accurate chemical and fertilizer application. If GPS is unreliable, frustration will ensue. What can you do? Different antenna/receivers react differently to different solar activity. In some areas, a single band receiver may work better than a dual band, but the opposite may also be true. There are many different types of antennas on the market, including omnidirectional, controlled radiation pattern and choke ring. All gather and organize GPS signals differently and operate at varying levels on different days. In 2001, the omnidirectional antennas were often successfully replaced with controlled radiation pattern antennas. First, make sure it is a solar flare that is causing your issues with GPS and then research the antenna/receiver options for your GPS system. Try an upgraded antenna/receiver that is compatible with your system during a sunspot event before you commit to buying it. Try upgrading your GPS signal to take advantage of more satellites (GNSS). This may also require a new antenna, so do your research now before seeding.

iomass is an energy resource that does not receive as much media attention as wind and solar, but it is definitely an important part of the renewable energy repertoire. Biomass is biological material derived from plants or animals that makes a sustainable and renewable energy source. It can be used directly as a fuel source or it can be converted into biofuel. In this column, I’ll deal with biomass as a solid fuel being used directly as an energy source. Fossil fuels — coal, natural gas and oil — come from previously live plant material that has been compressed for millions of years but are in no way renewable, at least not by human effort. Those fossilized plants sequestered carbon, and a lot of it. Biomass, past and present, is essentially hydrocarbons, which contain primarily the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. This means they give off water and carbon dioxide when they experience combustion or decomposition. The carbon dioxide is problematic. We add dramatic amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuel. The CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat at the earth’s surface and creating a warming effect. Biomass is assumed to come from currently growing plant material, which will be replaced by similar plant material when it is harvested. The theory is the biomass will release carbon dioxide when it is burned, but the replacement plants will absorb carbon dioxide as part of the photosynthetic process. As a result, carbon dioxide amounts in the atmosphere will remain neutral. The use of biomass is not new. Those living in the bush simply call it cordwood. Using virgin wood that could be used for other purposes such as house framing material is considered to be an unacceptable practice, but using products that would otherwise be waste is considered a wise use of biomass material. Wood, whether it be chopped wood, wood chips, pressed fire logs or pellets, is definitely the most commonly known biomass, but straw bales can be used as biomass energy. Straw is not truly waste, given its value to the soil, but burning in a boiler is more productive than burning it in the field, which is not only wasteful but also creates air pollution and breathing problems. Animal waste is also used in biomass energy production. In some cases, perennial and high production crops such as switchgrass and sugar cane, or trees such as poplar, willow and eucalyptus, are specifically grown for use as biomass. Food waste also makes a good source of biomass combustion,

although composting is an obvious alternative. Food waste can produce methane if disposed of in the landfill, which is a far more potent greenhouse gas. Industrial waste is also used as a biomass fuel. Grain can be used as a direct fuel in boilers for space heating, although burning grain has the same image challenge as ethanol: they both use a crop or land that could be used to feed humans and livestock. One of the great benefits of fossil fuels is the extreme concentration of energy. Burning a given amount of natural gas, coal, or oil produces so much more energy than burning the same amount of biomass. This means that biomass is most economical when used closer to its source, which mitigates the environmental cost of transportation. Small farmers in China have long used biomass to feed animals. They use the animal waste in digesters to produce methane and then burn the methane for cooking. Some areas with cheap surplus grain use grain-burning heaters. Forests yield usable byproducts, while cities’ concentrated populations produce prodigious amounts of garbage. In Africa, rural residents collect dried animal dung for direct burning for cooking. While the use of biomass for energy has been considered to be theoretically carbon-storage neutral, more recent scientific work suggests that sequestering carbon in a mature forest is greater than removing the forest to burn it and replanting the area. So while biomass may be a significant improvement over fossil fuel, it is not entirely benign. Burning biomass can also produce carbon monoxide and release other elements such as heavy metals that are part of plant material. The burning of biomass by individuals often results in incomplete combustion, giving rise to a variety of combustion byproducts, including black carbon, which is worse than carbon dioxide. Biomass industrial plants can often work with much greater efficiencies, both extracting more energy and using exhaust filtration to produce fewer pollutants. Large biomass plants are not seen in Canada, but major operations in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe, use forest byproducts to simultaneously produce electricity and steam used for processing, known as co-generation. Some plants produce enough electricity for tens of thousands of households, which would otherwise have to be provided by some other energy source, most likely fossil fuel. Biomass is likely less noticeable in this part of the world because fossil fuel is still plentiful and relatively inexpensive. We will see a greater emphasis on biomass as an energy source when the price of fossil fuel rises. In the meantime, for many of us the closest we will get to using biomass is when we light a fire at summer camp. And you thought that was just wood.

MACHINERY | WINDROWER

Massey upgrades, improves Swathers, windrowers | Biggest improvement is a V-Cool radiator system BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — The new Massey Ferguson WR series SP windrowers and swathers made their first prairie public appearance this winter. The WR is a new design, with unique features such as a rear suspension, said Willie Gilbert, a sales representative for Ag West Equipment at Portage la Prairie, Man. “The unit we have here at Ag Days is the first of these new models we’ve seen,” said Gilbert. “They improved the engines and the hydrostatic drive. There’s an allnew cab and a suspension system for the rear axle. It’s a solid beam rear axle, with a coil spring at the center, two gas pressurized shock absorbers and two parallel arms on each side to keep it stable. It makes for a better ride for the operator and it’s easier on the machine.” The optional cab suspension uses dual shock absorbers, dual air bags with pressure settings from 15 to 35 p.s.i. and an air reservoir. The optional seat takes sensor readings 60 times per second and adjusts the seat instantly. Jarring forces are typically horizontal, so the seat moves horizontally left and right and fore and aft. Gilbert said the biggest improvement is the V-Cool radiator system. The radiators are arranged in a V pattern at the back of the machine and the fans are hydraulically driven so the speed can automatically change to match the cooling needs of the engine. They can easily be reversed. To keep radiators clear of trash, the fans stop every 15 minutes and runs in reverse for a few seconds to blow residue off the fins. Operators can adjust the time intervals of the cleaning operation to suit field conditions. The fans also reverse automatically every time the header is lifted. Fan speed is independent of engine speed and varies depending on conditions. “It’s similar to the system we have on the combines. In four years of testing the WR, they didn’t have to stop once to clean a radiator.” Gilbert said another important upgrade is the low-profile RazorBar cutterbar, introduced two years ago. “This is best for cutting light crops. It reduces the amount of hay blowing around because it gives such a wellformed windrow,” he said. “A better windrow means a nicer bale and better preservation of the hay. It makes a cleaner job than anything else we’ve ever seen.” Much of the clean field factor is attributed to side augers at the extreme left and right of the housing, which feed material from the edges toward the conditioner rollers. The modular design allows each gear assembly and idler gear to be removed individually without taking apart the entire cutter bar. Idler gears and pins are removed through the top of the module, so even the rock guards remain in place during repairs. The system is designed so a gear spindle failure will shear off outside the cutter bed to prevent contaminating other gears. Disc speed is variable from 1,000 to 2,500 r.p.m. to match crop condi-

tions. The cutter bed is driven by one hydraulic motor at each end of the assembly. Dual motors provide uniform torque across the width of the cutterbar. Knives are high-carbon steel, with a variety of available degree angles and bevels. The hub mounts slope to reduce debris buildup. The herringbone conditioner rollers are steel-on-steel. The single set has two rollers that crimp the hay every two to three inches. The optional TwinMax double crimp option uses two pairs of rollers, resulting in a crimp every two to three inches through the first pair. The second pair of rollers makes a crimp every one inch. The correct gap for varying crop conditions is continuously managed hydraulically. The TwinMax system a l l ow s l e av e s t o p a s s t h ro u g h undamaged. TwinMax is also available on sickle bar headers. Gilbert said the system leaves a wide, well-formed windrow that dries quickly and rakes together evenly for better baling. The WR has a unique header flotation system that allows the operator to adjust each lift arm independently from the cab. The system is completely hydraulic, thus eliminating the need for balance weights. Header options for the WR include disc, sickle bar, draper and auger types. There are eight Hesston draper headers for grain growers for centredeliver y or double swath. The hydraulically powered planetary gear system on the sickle drive eliminates peak starting and stopping loads. Instead of a wear plate, the new cutterbar uses a roller guide to reduce friction. The WR is the first windrower with electronically controlled hydraulics operated by a virtual computer terminal. The system automatically controls header speed independent of engine speed, resulting in consistent cutting and conditioning in all field situations. The Topcon System 150 GPS handsfree guidance system can bring swath width accuracy down to plus/minus one inch, thus making optimal use of each pass. The 150 is accurate at field speeds up to 16 m.p.h. The enhanced electro-hydraulic and electronic displacement control is a key factor in steering accuracy. The WR can safely travel at road speeds of 21 m.p.h. because steering precision and reaction times are better. Hydraulically powered implements are infamous for their lack of pulling power in hilly terrain or wet conditions. With that in mind, Agco engineers boosted the pump flow and gave the system three-speed/ power ranges. Range 1 gives the most pulling power with field speeds of zero to 13 m.p.h. Range 2 has less pulling power with field speeds of zero to 16 m.p.h. Range 3 is for transport with speeds

of zero to 21 m.p.h. Massey engines all have Tier 4 interim technology with SCR and e3 with Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Engine selection starts with a Cummins 3.3 litre rated at 100 horsepower. Moving up the ladder, the four-cylinder SISU Agco Power 4.9 litre is rated at either 137 h.p. or 188 h.p. and the six-cylinder SISU Agco Power 6.6 litre is rated at 220 h.p. All SISU engines have cross-flow heads, four valves per cylinder, common rail fuel injection and fracture split connecting rods.

GRAIN STORAGE | BIN ALARMS

Auger sensor signals full bin without climbing ladder Alarmed spout | Openings allow grain overflow to give operator time to shut down once alarm sounds BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

BRANDON — As grain bins continue to grow higher, so too does the average age of prairie farmers. This combination compounds a situation already fraught with danger. The simple solution is to stay off the bins, and Angelika Gehrer thinks she has the answer. “A full bin alarm can pay for itself quickly by preventing those plugged augers, sheared pins and grain on the ground,” says the co-owner of Never Spill Spout inc.

There’s also the safety aspect to consider. “If a full bin alarm means you don’t need to climb that ladder, if it prevents just one accident in your lifetime or the lifetime of your farm, then it’s paid for itself a thousand times over.” The Never Spill Spout system quickly straps to the top of a 10 inch, 13 inch or 16 inch auger. It’s weather proof, so there’s no need to take it in for the winter. A mechanical micro switch at the bottom of the spout triggers the alarm as soon as the grain level in the

bin reaches the sensor. The alarm is louder than the tractor and auger, giving the operator plenty of time to shut down. Between the time of the first alarm and shutdown, grain flows out to the top of the pile through vertical slots cut into the sides of the bottom spout. This prevents overflow and auger plugging. “The sensor is strictly mechanical,” she said. “We have no electronics or computers to complicate the system. It’s all 12-volt electrical coming off the tractors system. That also means no

batteries to go dead or need replacement. We kept it all as simple as possible. “For working at night, there’s a 12-volt halogen light. Switching that on serves a dual purpose. It lets you know for sure you’ve got power to the system.” Gehrer said her husband, John, does most of the work by himself on their farm near Niverville, Man. Like all one-man operations, safety is a constant concern. They saw their first full bin alarm system 10 years ago, and were convinced it was a valuable idea. How-

ever, they also thought it was too complicated and expensive. “There was too much gadgetry. John knew he could come up with something simpler for our farm,” said Gehrer. A couple of prototypes later, he had a full bin alarm system that was simple and worked the way he wanted. Neighbours saw it and asked John to build alarms for them. “It just took off from there. Now, eight years later, we have over 2,500 alarms on farms in Canada, the States and New Zealand. I believe it’s still the simplest system on the market.” She said her system is more costeffective than individual bin monitors that require a new unit for every bin. “You only need one Never Spill Spout for each auger. If you only use one auger, then you only need one system. “We have several auger dealers across Canada now installing our Never Spill Spout as standard equipment on every auger they sell.” Gehrer said she, John and their daughter do most of the assembly work in their shop. The kits generally arrive within three days of the order being placed. Each kit comes complete with sensor, loud alarm, halogen light, wiring harness, mounting strap and the appropriate seven-prong plug. For older tractors, there is an optional seven-prong upgrade kit. The 10 inch spout sells for $515 plus $45 shipping. The 13 inch spout sells for $540 plus $60 shipping. The 16 inch spout sells for $560 plus $85 shipping.

FARM LEADERSHIP COUNCIL | COMMUNICATION

Have a heart-to-heart with consumers: farm advocate Farmers urged to connect with consumers online BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Michele Payn-Knoper is a farm girl who stands out in a farm crowd. In a bright blue blazer, Payn-Knoper was easy to spot among the crowd of farmers and ranchers even before she took centre stage as the keynote speaker at the Farm Leadership Council’s conference in Saskatoon last week. And then she started kickboxing. As a professional speaker and a farm advocate — not to be confused with an activist, she insists — PaynKnoper hopes to not only inform but also to motivate. And when men and women line up alongside Payn-Knoper to kick and punch, she’s drawing an allusion: that agriculturalists need to fight back against their critics who are examining issues of animal welfare, environmentalism, urban farming, organic production and biotechnology. “I’m accustomed to being the unique one on the program,” said Payn-Knoper, who grew up on a dairy farm in Michigan. Now based in Indiana, she’s travelled North America for more than a decade, bringing her message to farm groups with a colourful and lighthearted approach that’s different from the research, policy and production experts listed alongside her on the agenda. Like her onstage counterparts, she brings slides full of numbers, but she’s counting Twitter followers rather than bushels per acre. She echoes a familiar sentiment: producers must be proactive in sharing their own positive stories. Organizations such as Farm Credit Canada and the Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan are already working on this front, but PaynKnoper believes the onus is also on producers to connect with consumers on a “heart level.” And in her view, the way to their hearts is, at least in part, through Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms. While some may be skeptical, Payn-Knoper said there are millions of eyes online. There’s no better way to communicate, she added. She has developed her own audience online, fostering conversations, dubbed #AgChat, that have allowed her to talk about agriculture with thousands more. And in Canada, which hasn’t seen the same degree of protests, criticism and infiltration from animal rights groups as has occurred in the United States, there’s room to get ahead of the charge and play offence. “Don’t wait until you’re responding, because you’re in the position to lose,” she said. She helps producers develop their own communication strategies, leveraging the trust she says people typically have in farmers, to connect with audiences as human beings — as parents or Christians and not necessarily as farmers and customers. She uses her own story about her family losing the farm through bankruptcy as an example. “So many of us in agriculture define ourselves by being a farmer or rancher and that’s not who we are.

“And so the whole thought is if you can step back and identify what values you have, then identify the segment of the population you’re going after ... then you identify commonalities.” Farmers may be independent, modest or even stubborn, but she said more need to take up this advocacy. It may not result in a better market price, but producers will see a net benefit if the collective action results in favourable farm policy. “It’s a matter of getting agriculturalists to see that this is a part of their chore list and it’s a must-do,” she said. “It’s not an, ‘if you have time.’ “

Michele Payn-Knoper told farmers to use social media to share stories with millions of consumers online before they are forced to deflect misinformation from animal rights groups. | DAN YATES PHOTO

Biomass crop market gets toehold in Ontario Environmental focus | Businesses are starting to look for alternatives to fossil fuels BY JEFFREY CARTER

Over the past year our business has been slow, but in the last three months we have had five or six colleges become interested along with a prison and a hospital. JOHN BOOTLE RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES INC.

LONDON, Ont. — A market for purpose-grown biomass crops is developing in Ontario and parts of the northeastern United States. Prices depend on the niche that is being filled. Energy is at the bottom end. John Bootle, a director with Vermont-based Renewable Energy Resources Inc., says the company is paying $85 to $95 per tonne at the farmgate for baled switchgrass. It’s being marketed primarily to mid-sized users such as schools, businesses and institutions, which tend to take volumes of 1,000 to 5,000 tonnes annually. “Over the past year our business

has been slow, but in the last three months we have had five or six colleges become interested along with a prison and a hospital,” Bootle told the Growing the Margins Conference in London March 5. Dean Tiessen of New Energy Farms at Leamington, Ont., said he could have used the 100,000 dry tonnes of miscanthus he harvested last year to fuel his family’s vegetable greenhouse. Instead, he is pursuing more lucrative markets by selling it for $170 per tonne as high-value bedding for horses. A feed market also exists. Tiessen harvests eight to nine dry tonnes of miscanthus per acre. The crop can also be used as an ingredient in automobile parts and pharmaceuticals and for the biodegradable booms used for containing oil spills. He said an energy market will eventually need to be developed if miscanthus, switchgrass and similar biomass crops are to become a major part of North American agriculture. He said the buy local movement in the northeastern U.S. is having a positive impact. For example, the school board in Benton, Pennsylvania, was looking to reduce its annual heating oil bill. It switched to a boiler system and burned switchgrass briquettes to supply the hot water at the elementary and high schools. The schools used to pay $160,000 for oil but now pay about $24,000 for oil, which is used as a backup, and close to $70,000 for briquettes. Bootle said another $30,000 could have been saved if wood chips had been used, but the school board wanted to support the local economy and Renewable Energy Resources had offered a long-term contract.

“It’s a very local, community-based business,” Tiessen said. “The money people would have spent on fossil fuels now stays within the community. It’s the reason they decided to go for grass.” Ontario Power Generation is considering replacing the coal it now burns at its generating stations with biomass. Aung Oo of the BioIndustrial Innovation Centre in Sarnia, Ont., said a study found that centralized end users such as OPG would need to pay $173 per tonne for miscanthus and more than $200 per tonne for switchgrass. That’s a cost of about $10 per gigajoule, considerably more than the current price of natural gas. However, he said costs would drop significantly if a distributed generation model were to be adopted involving generation plants with 50 megawatts of capacity. Oo said purpose-grown agricultural energy crops are already competitive alternatives in areas where the only fossil fuels for heating available are heating oil and propane. He also sees merit in further investigating the distributed generation model. Ian Moncrieff, owner of Canadian BioFuel, is in a position to capitalize on the biomass energy market in Ontario. He started producing biomass pellets and briquettes on a commercial basis near Woodstock, Ont., March 3. Moncrieff plans to eventually increase production to 100,000 tonnes annually and would like to build a network of similar plants across the province. Each would require energy crops from 15,000 acres but for now the company is processing waste wood and other found materials.

CME GROUP INC. | CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER STEPS DOWN

Exit not linked to MF Global failure: CME head CME reassures clients | It says replacement CEO is ‘solid, thorough and impressive’ CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Craig Donohue, CME Group Inc.’s chief executive officer since 2004, will step down at the end of the year and be replaced by CME president Phupinder Gill. Chair Terrence Duffy, who has been the face of the company as it navigates the fallout from the failure last October of giant broker MF Global, will take on the additional role of president, the company said. Donohue said his exit was not linked to MF Global’s failure, which has rattled confidence in the futures industry and dealt a blow to the exchange operator’s trading volume. CME audited MF Global’s books under the industry’s self-regulatory system. Some $1.6 billion in MF Global customer money is still missing. “MF Global doesn’t factor in at all to my thinking,” Donohue said. “I’ve been working my way toward this for quite some time.” Still, some observers connected Donohue’s departure to collapse of the brokerage. The futures industr y had for decades touted the safety of customer money held at brokers, so much so that many traders and hedge funds kept much of their capital at the broker even though it was not needed for trading. “I think they need some kind of a shake up at the CME because of their deficiencies during the MF Global collapse,” said Philip Gotthelf, president of Equidex Brokerage Group. “I believe he is trying to leave before his reputation is tarnished by the MF Global scandal.” Gill, 51, has been with CME since 1988 and ran CME’s clearinghouse before joining the office of the CEO eight years ago, when Donohue took his current post. The appointment of Donohue’s second-in-command, known to friends and colleagues by his surname, may go a long way in reassuring markets after MF Global’s collapse, said Andre Cappon, president of CBM Group, a New Yorkbased consultant for global exchanges. “Gill is a very solid, thorough and impressive guy,” Cappon said. “Putting Gill in the key job right now is absolutely the right thing because the challenge for the CME is to explain why that won’t happen again.” Gill said CME’s “sense of direction will not change” once he becomes CEO. Neal Wolkoff, former CEO of ELX, a CME rival, and founder of Wolkoff Consulting Services, called Gill a great choice. “He’s probably one of the most knowledgeable people out there, and without question he’s the funniest person I’ve met in the futures industry,” said Wolkoff, whose former job pitted him repeatedly against CME’s executives in the search for customers. Donohue, who began his 23-year career at the CME as a lawyer, oversaw the transformation of CME from a futures exchange known largely for its short-term interest-rate futures to a global powerhouse with a clearinghouse in London and a growing access=subscriber section=news,none,none

clearing operation for the vast overthe-counter derivatives industry. Under Donohue’s leadership, the owner of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange bought its two largest rivals, the Chicago Board of Trade and the New York Mercantile Exchange, greatly expanding its reach into lucrative assets such as oil and treasury futures trading. Donohue, 50, also spearheaded CME’s entry into the index business with its purchase of the Dow Jones Indexes and its joint venture with S&P index owner McGraw Hill & Co. He has worked at CME for 23 years and called his decision “bittersweet.” He said he is “ready to explore new challenges.” Duffy said Gill’s experience and

relationships in Asia would benefit CME. Gill’s promotion underscores the emphasis CME is putting on overseas growth, said Ed Ditmire, an analyst for Macquarie Research. “It definitely speaks about how importantly CME views international opportunities,” he said.

Energy from algae decade away Too expensive | Yields must increase before commercialization is viable BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

LONDON, Ont. — The potential for algae to become a commercially viable source of energy is real, but there’s a hitch. Either a breakthrough is needed or the price of fossil fuel prices will have to more than double before the promise becomes reality. “The algae species have the ability to produce lipids that are similar to vegetable oil and can be processed into biodiesel,” said Gregory Swartz,

a researcher with Kent BioEnergy Corp. in California. “The challenges to algae productivity are not trivial.… They have been around since research began in the 1950s,” he said. “What we have to do is to go from lab scale to field scale.” Swartz told the Growing the Margins Conference in London March 6 that companies are keeping a close lid on their progress, but biodiesel can probably now be produced for $10 to $15 per US gallon.

farmed on a commercial basis, but that’s linked to a single high-value market. “Today there are about a dozen companies worldwide producing algae biomass for pharmaceutical products,” he said. “There’s a half dozen in China alone.” The yield per acre from ponds needs to increase for biodiesel production. It’s theorized that as much as 5,000 gallons of algae lipid per acre can be harvested, but actual yields are many times less. Another challenge is to efficiently separate the algae from the water in which it lives. Swartz said Kent BioEnergy has been working on a flocculation process that may reduce costs to about $20 per tonne. There are other methods, including one that involves using brine shrimp to eat the algal and then harvesting the shrimp, which have a 20 to 24 per cent lipid content. Swartz suspects energy from algae will become a reality within 10 years. Barring a major breakthrough, he said commercialization will likely rely on the development of multiple products. “We need a business that can make money today and hopefully we can make biofuels in the future.” Algal protein and algal-derived chemicals can also be harvested and there’s a market for environmental services. Pond Biofuels of Toronto is converting raw smokestack emissions into algal biomass. Swartz said his company is using food waste as an algal feedstock. It’s a source of nutrients that would otherwise have to be purchased. Algal production is often associated with a warm climate like in California, where Kent BioEnergy has a 160-acre research and development facility near Palm Springs. However, he said there are also cool climate algae species, and the technology can be adapted to indoor, enclosed systems.

AG RESEARCH | SPENDING

Research dollars need to double to regain lost ground Low funding levels challenged | Farm groups call for federal government to restore research budgets to 1994 levels in real dollars BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said last week that the Conservatives have restored agricultural research spending to levels not seen since the Liberals slashed the departmental budget in 1995. One of the leaders of a farmer campaign to have research budgets returned to 1994 levels in real dollars quickly challenged the minister’s assertion. “We would have to disagree with that,” Grain Growers of Canada executive director Richard Phillips said. “There may be cases of research being done by Agriculture Canada, a specific component of work, where perhaps there is more money being spent than in 1994, but overall, the numbers speak for themselves. We are way behind where we were in 1994.” Grain Growers and supportive farm groups argue that the base research budget would have to be doubled over a decade to return it to the 1994 equivalent. Ritz insisted during a March 12 appearance before the House of Commons agriculture committee that the argument about 1994 levels compared to now involves miscommunication by the advocates. “There’s a lot of talk of going back to 1994 levels of spending on research,” he said. “I’m happy to tell you that when we do the comparison, even taking inflation into play, we’re actually spending about 15 percent more now than we were in 1994.” Ritz also acknowledged that the research budget is tight and said the Conser vative government has changed the focus from general research that might be useful to industry someday to more focused “science cluster” research into projects that industry says will be useful in the shorter term. “We’ve been having great success with that,” said Ritz. “We’ve been able to make a lot more use of our scarce dollars.”

Phillips said that while industry supports the more focused science cluster investment, there also is a need for added resources in the basic departmental research budget to fund long-range research that may not provide quick results but can lead to innovative products in the future. Advocates of a greater research commitment by government have argued that farmers still rely on varieties that came from basic research 30 or 40 years ago.

Part of the problem in the debate about funding levels now compared to 1994 is that the department says it is difficult if not impossible to compare budgets from the two periods. Phillips argues it is difficult to believe the department cannot find a way to compare the two. In 2009, Agriculture Canada science partnerships director general Stephen Morgan Jones prepared a chart that tracked research branch expenditures from 1998-99 to 2007-

08. In the second year of the Conservative government, spending and staff positions in research were down from decade-earlier levels. The chart did not go back to 199405, the year of the Liberal cuts. After expenditures of close to $250 million in 1999-2000, spending fell back closer to $200 million by 200708. Between 2002-03 and 2008-09, funded positions in the research branch fell from almost 2,400 to fewer than 2,200.

Meanwhile, Grains Round Table co-chairs Phillips and Manitoba farmer Don Dewar met Agriculture Canada deputy minister John Knubley March 13 to discuss a one percent mandatory non-refundable national wheat check-off that would be matched by government to fund research. Knubley told them such a scheme would require broad provincial and industry support before Ottawa would consider it.

INVESTMENT BOOSTS AGRICULTURAL BIOMASS Federal funding will give producers access to new business opportunities for agricultural biomass. Biofour Inc. will receive $126,400 through the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program to test an incinerator for agricultural biomass combustion. The project is expected to generate economic benefits and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water and soil contamination. Biofour Inc. will use the money to test a boiler incinerator that burns biomasses other than those derived from forest products. The goal is to verify its effectiveness and economic value in the sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily applications. The trial will attempt to evaluate the energy potential of various biomasses.

The 1955 documentary Grain Handling in Canada is available online for the first time. To celebrate its 100th anniversary, the Canadian Grain Commission has joined with the National Film Board to make the film available online. The film is housed on the National Film Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site at www.nfb.ca/ film/grain_handling_in_canada/, but the Canadian Grain Commission offers a link to the film on its 19511960 timeline at grainscanada.gc.ca/ cgc-ccg/history-histoire/timelinehistorique/1951-1960-eng.htm. The 23 minute, colour film follows grain from harvest to export and describes the role of the Board of Grain Commissioners, as the Canadian Grain Commission was known at the time. Filmed on location in grain elevators, rail yards and terminal elevators, the film is a window into another time. SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ALBERTA 4-H MEMBERS

Wireless ART Air Seeder Rate and Blockage Monitor

Evolution of the ART Monitor

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

Use your Google ® Android ® Phone to keep track of our air seeder operation with an ‘App’. (Windows Phone, Apple and Blackberry ‘App’s are in development) No wires to the cab means quicker startups, and no worries about towing the seeder with the monitor harness! The WIRELESS ART works with today’s large single Shoot and Double Shoot seeding systems. Up to 240 runs can be monitored on double shoot systems (separate seed and fertilizer runs). Use the WIRELESS ART to confirm your calibration for seed and fertilizer rates using the Seed Rate Wizard. Seeds per acre (or pounds per acre) and Fertilizer pounds per acre are displayed. 242 Robin Cres. Saskatoon, SK Canada S7L 7C2 Ph 306-934-0640 Fx 306-668-7666 Email: sales@agtron.com www.agtron.com

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that at this time in my life I feel like all I do is work, work and work, come home from work, cook, clean, wash, iron, fold the laundry and slump down in front of the TV and think, wow I have been doing this for sometime, need a change if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to meet a nice man. So, I took the challenge and said to my sister and girlfriends by summer I will be in love. I am a outdoorsy person, love horses, motor sports have a dirt bike, love to garden, not afraid of hard work and I have a beautiful house that I take great pride in. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind if the man is older than me, it really depends on him, as long as he is a NS and social drinker and likes kids, a single dad would be perfect.

Letter of Appreciation We appreciate the convenience of the process and transaction dealing with Doug Rue, of Freshwater Land Holdings Co. Ltd., November 2011. We sold land shared by my sister, and Aunt. Being that we were selling from 3 different locations, it didn’t slow up the process any. The sale was made without one in-person meeting. We are a rural farming family, who sold land conveniently, with shared owners, all by emails and minimal travel to town, only to obtain witness signatures. We feel really good about the process, the sale and our straight-forward business interaction with Doug. Overall, it was a positive experience. Thank you, Marlo & Lee Marelli

The rule has been in the works since 2004 and brings the U.S. in line with World Animal Health Organization (OIE) standards. It has been published in the U.S. federal register and is open for public comment for 60 days. The rule applies to cattle, bison, cervids and camelids. It does not include sheep or goats. “In this proposed rule, we would retain the current importation provisions with regard to BSE as they apply to ovines and caprines, but not as they apply to bovines, cervids, and camelids,” said the rule. “It is necessary to revise the current regulations to make them particular to ovines and caprines,

• Regions of negligible risk for BSE: Argentina, Australia, Chile, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Sweden, and Uruguay. • Regions of controlled risk for BSE: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. pending any future rulemaking regarding such animals.” In 2006, the OIE changed its BSE categories to controlled, negligible

or undetermined risk for the disease, basing them on the controls in place rather than the number of cases in a country. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) would base its import policy for a particular country on that country’s risk classification as determined by OIE’s risk evaluation. “It will make the existing rule that we have for minimal risk, it will basically make it redundant,” said John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “It should replace the rule one and rule two and it should conclude the court case that is still going on against rule two,” he said. The courts instructed the USDA in 2008 to refine its rule dealing with beef and cattle older than 30 months. It should also help with reopening and expanding some export markets

for Canada and the United States. “In some countries, Canada and the U.S. have been linked together,” he said. For example, Japan has assigned the same BSE status and trade sanctions to Canada and the U.S. Aligning the regulation with OIE rules removes the ability of some trading partners to impose higher standards. The rule is published by APHIS and should expand the number and types of commodities eligible for entry into the U.S. with regard to BSE. However, certain conditions and certifications that were previously required will continue. For example, Canadian cattle must still carry individual identification and must be born after 1999. Ruminant to ruminant feed bans continue. For more information, visit www. regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DockettDeta il&d=APHIS-2008-0010.

Martin Unrau, newly elected president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, takes over the national lobby at a time of tremendous industry optimism. However, the cattle producer from MacGregor, Man., also sees clouds on the horizon that he thinks should temper industry optimism. The boom can’t last and there may be an industry price to pay. But first, there is the optimism. “The last year, 2011, was a watershed year for the livestock industry and the next decade looks pretty darn good,” agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said when he spoke to the CCA March annual meeting in Ottawa that elected Unrau president. Added retiring president Travis Toews: “I believe the industry has turned around, the economics are better and our industry is more competitive than it was a few years ago.… But we have more work to do. The job isn’t done yet.” Unrau agreed. “I think it is a tremendous time to be here. It’s an exciting time.” But the 48-year-old cattle and cash crop producer also said the industry should not become complacent about the high prices, market access and positive income. He said it is why the industry should pay attention to federal-provincial negotiations now underway to create the next five-year agricultural policy Growing Forward framework, which takes effect April 1, 2013. It includes business risk management programs including AgriStability and the promise of an insurance program that could include livestock. “A thing we have to concentrate on is the new Growing Forward, the domestic policy we have in this country for when this thing turns back down, and I’m a realist,” he said. “I know I shouldn’t even be talking about this, but we know this thing will turn down eventually.” In fact, Unrau sees one of his key roles as tempering the optimism that now surges through much of the industry. “When things are good, people tend to sit back and enjoy it and assume it will last,” he said. “At least 50 times in the last month I’ve heard producers say this is the new standard. I smile because I know it is not.” Unrau said the industry has to make sure recently gained overseas market access is maintained. “One of the things I have to concentrate on as president is to make sure we solidify some of the markets we’re in and do the maintenance because they can slip away if we don’t pay attention,” he said. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

OPINION | RACEDAY

Iceman Triathlon provides an unusual test for a cowboy COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

’ve done a few things in life that might seem a little out of the ordinary for a cowboy and a rancher. I ran a marathon in Chicago, I went to a Black Eyed Peas concert, I heard a symphony perform in Carnegie Hall in New York and I once ordered a fish sandwich at McDonald’s. Not

typical cowboy stuff. But when I entered the Iceman Triathlon in Grand Forks, North Dakota, for a frigid three-event competition in the height of winter, it seemed to fit right in with my ranching lifestyle. Physical activity, endurance and exhaustion outside in the winter? Perfect. It’s done all the time on the ranch. I roped a cow the other day to try and convince her to come into a corral, and when I decided my horse wasn’t up to the task, I had to undo the rope that had tightened up around her neck. The skills required for that task, with a little ice and snow, was more of a winter decathlon, so I figured the Iceman Triathlon would be a piece of cake.

Now saying something like “the height of winter” this year isn’t much to brag about. We’ve been mostly mild and snow-free this year, but, fortunately, Grand Forks got a nice dump of snow just in time for its triathlon. The temperature on race day was a balmy 20 F (-6 C), winds were calm and the sun was shining. I’ve watched bits of the Ironman triathlon in Hawaii when it’s been on television. I could envision myself doing the running leg of the triathlon, but bicycling would be a bit of a stretch for my skill set, and swimming next to a bunch of other people in the ocean with flailing arms and legs seemed downright terrifying. The distances for an Ironman were

pretty intimidating, too. Swim 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometres), bike 112 miles (180 km) and then run 26.2 miles (42.2 km). All in a row, no rest or recuperation. That’s why they call it Ironman. If it was easy, I suppose they’d call it a tinman or an aluminuman triathlon. The selling point for the Iceman triathlon in Grand Forks was that they swapped out the swimming and replaced it with cross country skiing. Now they were talking something this Nor w egian cowboy could understand. Aside from my English Taylor heritage, I’m mostly descended from Dokkens, Oiums and Larsons, from places in Norway like Hallingdal and Gudbrandsdal. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

They say Norwegians are born with skis on their feet. My mother wouldn’t have put up with that, but she did put me on cross country skis at a pretty young age. So I entered the Iceman race and figured my skiing prowess would make me a contender. The distances in the Iceman were manageable. Ski for three and a half miles, bike for seven miles, run for three miles and wrap it up by running up a hill three times carrying a sandbag and riding a sled down with your cap pulled over your eyes. Creative competition. The skiing was my best leg as I did my best Norsk kick, stride and glide. It almost made up for the ground I lost in the snow biking. Race day was my first day on skis this season because of our lack of snow on the ranch, but, just like riding a bike, you never forget. Hmmm, that saying makes me think my biking should have gone better. I finished the race pretty strong, made the top half, and I think most of the guys ahead of me in the solo men’s division were 10 years younger than me. Makes no difference though. We’re all Icemen now. Some of us have just been melting a little longer. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

British Columbia farmers and ranchers are reminded to register their premises with the provincial government. Many have registered their property and received an identification number, but thousands more need to sign on, said Tiffany Guan of the B.C. agriculture ministry. Chicken and dairy farmers have been notified, but it’s more difficult finding farms outside the supply management system. “For the non-regulated group, there is no way to reach out to them,” Guan said. “We need it for emergency planning to contact people with animals.” The premises identification program is a national system administered in each province and territory to track the location of animals in case of disease, a public health related emergency or an emergency such as a natural disaster affecting animals and people. A premise is any parcel of land where animals, plants or food are grown, kept, assembled or disposed. These include farms, stables, pastures, feedlots, hatcheries, community pastures, research facilities, insemination centres, auctions, rendering plants and abattoirs. Producers are required to provide the legal land description or georeferenced co-ordinates, contact names of owners and name of operation, premise type and what animals are kept there.

CATTLE | LAMENESS

Researchers seek ways to keep cows on all fours Lameness a concern | British study examined ways to improve flooring and hygiene BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Lameness is the likely cause if a cow walks like it is wearing tight shoes. “People are pretty blind to lameness. They don’t see a lame cow and it takes a long time for lameness to develop,” said animal welfare specialist Dan Weary. “It is like getting a symphony to work,” he said in an interview at the recent Western Dairy Seminar in Red Deer. “There are a thousand little things, but they all have to come together at the perfect time to make music or make ugly noise.” Weary studies lameness and cow comfort at the University of British Columbia but finds that getting the information out to farmers is a challenge. He said farmers often learn better from each other. Dairy Farmers of Canada recently released its new code of practice that focuses on cattle comfort and welfare. Its best management practices include stalls that offer enough room for the cow to lay down comfortably for up to 12 hours per day. The stalls should also be built so a cow can rise comfortably and minimize injuries to knees and hocks. Modern cows are bigger and need more space in their stalls and better placement of neck rails. Standing on concrete is especially hard on feet, so floor improvements are always being tested. While the information is available, Weary said it is not always passed on to engineers who design barns. “The barn builders haven’t necessarily been where they should be,” he said. Foot problems among dairy cows are universal. Becky Whay of the University of Bristol’s veterinary school described a British program in which veterinarians worked with a small group of farmers to control or prevent lameness. “Our problem is lameness isn’t going down in our dairy herds despite all the research that is being done to try and understand the problem,” she said at the dairy seminar. “Lameness costs farmers far too much money and foreshortens the life of cows that would otherwise be productive animals.” Whay said farmers understand the problem but are slow to adopt improvements. She speculated that a shortage of time and labour to improve cow conditions may be the culprit. “Farmers knew a lot about how to reduce lameness. The difficulty was when you work a lot of hours and you

are busy and tired, how do you find time to fit those changes in,” she said. “We don’t get very good implementation of information on farms.” A University of Bristol study found that farmers reported one-quarter of their cows were lame in 2000. That had increased to one-third 10 years later. Farmers in the study said lameness was their number one issue, followed by tuberculosis, mastitis and fertility. Researchers also learned that the average dairy farmer in the United Kingdom is 59 to 61 years old. Many are isolated, complain that they do not have enough help, do not want unsolicited advice and do not want to fill out more surveys or read more research papers. Cost did not seem to be the limiting factor in making changes. The university embarked on a three year program to work with a small group to assess risks and decide what changes are possible. “Each farmer is the expert on his farm. We need to pay due consideration to that,” she said. Researchers worked closely with 117 producers. Lameness levels were scored and farmers were given additional help from veterinarians who assessed risks and made recommendations on flooring and hygiene. Farmers were allowed to select their own risk factors and decide what changes to make. Another 72 farmers were monitored once a year without support. About one-third of the cows on all the farms had lameness problems. The farms that were monitored and received help made greater strides, but improvements were not well sustained by the end of the project. For example, many farmers adopted better flooring, but improving hygiene was a problem partly because of the wet conditions on British farms. Researchers found that most farms made changes, and lameness was detected in about 20 percent of the cows. “It doesn’t feel like a huge victory, but it was a positive step,” she said. In Alberta, the University of Calgary is researching lameness and longevity. The research team is looking for

INPUTS | COST

Input inflation slows this year Fuel, fertilizer costs rise | Prices up, but rate of gain slows as farmers prepare for spring seeding BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers should count on paying more for their two main crop inputs this year. “Agriculture Canada expects that fuel prices for farm machinery in Canada will increase by about three percent in 2012 compared to 2011,” said the department in its latest market outlook. That is on top of the estimated 25 percent increase in 2011. It’s a similar story for fertilizer, where Agriculture Canada forecasts a five percent price hike after a 29 percent jump in 2011. “However, there is a significant risk for the increase to be greater than five percent if demand for farm outputs grows faster than expected,” said Agriculture Canada. The forecast isn’t good news for producers already facing significant input costs for planting and growing their crops. “It’s the last thing any farmer wants to hear because it is the biggest variable cost most producers deal with on crop production,” said Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers. “It’s a bit frustrating for farmers because we are unable as producers

to pass on these costs to our customers. We’re price takers.” Arlynn Kurtz, vice-president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, isn’t surprised by the forecast. “I’m glad they’re predicting as small an increase as they are,” he said. Farmers got spooked last month when Mosaic announced it was curtailing its potash production by 20 percent from February through May. “Everybody was anticipating some pretty drastic increases in some fertilizer prices,” said Kurtz. Despite the higher prices, Agricul-

ture Canada sees fuel use rising two percent and fertilizer demand rising three percent in 2012 as a large area that wasn’t seeded last year because of flooding returns to production. Chorney thinks those estimates might be conservative, considering 25 percent of Manitoba’s acres went unseeded last year. “I think (the increases) might be too small. I really do,” he said. Kurtz said there will definitely be more acres seeded and more fertilizer demand this year, barring a spring disaster. “With high commodity prices, farmers are going to push for as high a production as they can,” he said. With the combination of higher prices and increased use, Canadian farmers are expected to spend $2.7 billion on fuel and $4.8 billion on fertilizer in 2012, a four and nine percent increase over 2011, respectively. Agriculture Canada said fuel and fertilizer represent 16 percent of farm operating expenses. “There’s no way that’s right,” said Chorney. “On my farm, it probably makes up 50 percent of my variable costs.” Kurtz estimates fuel and fertilizer account for 35 percent of an average farm’s operating costs.

“They’re the two that farmers watch very close, followed by chemical prices,” he said. Chorney also takes issue with the assertion in the report that nitrogen fertilizer prices generally track natural gas prices. Natural gas accounts for 70 to 90 percent of the production cost of anhydrous ammonia, which is the primary component in nearly all nitrogen fertilizer products. Nitrogen fertilizers account for 72 percent of total fertilizer use. The most popular nitrogen fertilizer product is urea, which has a 33 percent share of the market. KAP used to analyze the futures price of natural gas to get an idea where fertilizer prices were heading. “But it’s almost a futile exercise because the (fertilizer) industry has admitted basically that they don’t look at their cost of manufacturing fertilizer when they set their prices,” Chorney said. “It’s market opportunities that drive their pricing.” Fertilizer manufacturers increase their prices if they see crop prices rising, he added. Agriculture Canada said while it is true that fertilizer prices in Canada generally move in tandem with crop prices, interactions with natural gas prices can trump that relationship. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,crops,news

Manitoba flax plant destroyed in fire

New insurance program launched

No injuries | Damages estimated at $7 million BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A fire at a flax plant in western Manitoba caused $7 million in damage and put the jobs of 60 employees in jeopardy. The blaze started at the Glanbia Nutritionals flax plant near Angusville, Man., on the morning of March 13. No one was injured but the plant was destroyed. Fred Dunn, reeve of the Rural Municipality of Silver Creek, said employees and residents remain anxious because the plant is the economic heart of the small community. “It’s absolutely huge in this area,” Dunn said. “There’s 55 full time and five or six part-time employees… and our municipal tax base.” The Manitoba Office of the Fire Commissioner determined that the blaze started after flax overheated in the pasteurizer unit, where it is heated to kill fungus and bacteria. Employees working the night shift

noticed the flax was overheating and pulled a fire alarm, said Barry Wowk, an RM of Silver Creek councillor. However, firefighters from several communities in the region couldn’t save the facility. “The tanks that hold the flax are OK, but the operational end of (the plant) … that’s all destroyed,” Wowk said. Residents now want to know if the Irish company will rebuild. Dunn, who spoke to company officials last week, said it’s too early to answer that question. “There was no commitment either way, as of yet,” he said. “But their insurance company hasn’t even been (here) yet.” Glanbia Nutritionals, which specializes in food ingredients, bought the Angusville plant in 2007. Dunn remains optimistic. “They’ve got a trained work force here … and they certainly realize that,” he said. “We’re trying our best here to do everything to encourage (reconstruction).” access=subscriber section=ag_finance,news,none

TRADE | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Trade committee supports European Union free trade deal No recommendations made on supply management BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Conservative majority on the House of Commons trade committee has supported the government’s plan to conclude a free trade deal with the European Union this year, largely without conditions. Negotiations are expected to wrap up this summer with a formal deal presented to Parliament for ratification as early as next year. While acknowledging that agriculture is a sensitive trade issue, the majority committee report tabled in Parliament last week made no specific recommendations on agricultural issues. It accepted that supply management protectionism is a contentious issue in agriculture and that federal representatives promised supply management import controls would be defended. Opposition MPs on the committee said that was not good enough. They filed minority reports demanding more explicit statements of support for Canadian farmers. New Democrats on the committee said the government should exclude discussions of reducing over-quota tariff levels on dairy, poultry and egg imports and re-affirm farmers’ “unfettered ability to collectively manage domestic supply” for supply managed products. The NDP also added a CWB demand that relates more to World Trade Organization rules than a Canada-EU trade deal. WTO rules that Canada has signed stipulate that new government-empowered farm

product marketing monopolies cannot be created. Still, the NDP committee members said the right to re-create the CWB should be defended in Canada-EU negotiations. “The government should effectively safeguard the capacity to institute or re-institute a single desk for grain marketing in any geographic region should a majority of farmers’ elected representatives decide to do so,” NDP MPs recommended. NDP wheat board critic Pat Martin has conceded that international law will not allow the CWB’s monopoly to be recreated once it ends July 31. Liberal MP Wayne Easter, his party’s sole member on the trade committee, demanded that the government make clear what supply management protections are being negotiated and what concessions the government is prepared to make to get a deal. The majority committee report recognized the divisive issues around agriculture and trade, noting that dairy producers argued to preserve their protected system while some export sectors were less supportive. “Access to agricultural markets is generally one of the most contentious issues in bilateral or multilateral negotiations,” it said. “In light of what committee members heard on issues such as GMOs, supply management and the rules of origin, negotiations to reach a CETA (comprehensive economic and trade agreement) between Canada and the EU are no exception.” access=subscriber section=ag_finance,markets,news

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian grain and livestock producers have a new insurance product to shield them from losses. Marsh Canada has launched AgriPlus, a whole farm insurance program to protect farmers against events such as drought, excess moisture and high interest rates that can cause a producer’s annual revenues to fall below their historic cost of production. “The product provides additional protection over and above the various private and public sector insurance programs,” said Doug Ketler, vice-president of risk and insurance services with Marsh. Agri-Plus, which is underwritten by Northbridge General Insurance Corp., is designed to fill in the gaps left by government programs such as crop insurance and AgriStability. “One of the unique features of AgriPlus is it’s based on your expenses. Your expenses determine your policy,” said Ketler. Producers are covered for 95 percent of their historic cost of production with a five percent deductible. Cost of production is the average of three years of expenses as reported on a producer’s income tax returns. The policy premium is six percent, so the premium would be $5,700, or six percent of the $95,000 coverage, if a farmer had an average cost of production over the last three years of $100,000.

Claims are triggered when revenue drops below the cost of production. Revenue includes commodities sold, AgriInsurance and AgriStability payments, crop and livestock inventories and deferred income. Producers not enrolled in AgriStability would have to pay a two percent premium on top of the six percent base rate. Ketler said Murray Downing, a grain and oilseed farmer from Reston, Man., developed the insurance product. “It is developed by farmers for

farmers and the need has been there for quite some time,” he said. He said farmers expressed interest in the product at the trade shows he attended this winter. “We expect it to be quite popular and quite successful,” Ketler said. Producers have until March 31 of the contract year to enroll in AgriPlus. Marsh had hoped to roll out the product earlier, but there were delays getting it ready for the market. access=subscriber section=ag_finance,crops,news

MELBOURNE, Aus. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A potential takeover of Viterra has Australian grain companies wondering how their industry will be affected. Viterra is well established in Australia, particularly in the state of South Australia, where it controls the vast majority of country collection sites as well as several port facilities located in and around the south coast city of Adelaide. One of the companies considered to be a likely buyer of Viterra is Glencore International Plc of Switzerland, also no stranger in the Australian grain industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s further consolidation within the international grain trading environment,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Ross, a logistics strategist with CBH Group, one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest grain exporters and bulk handling companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at the export volumes that go out of Australia â&#x20AC;Ś Glencore is already quite a large exporter across all the (Australian) states, including South Australia, and obviously Viterra is one of the dominant exporters out of South Australia as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So what does it mean? It means that two of the largest exporters and traders who are fairly dominant in the South Australian market will be merged into one entity if (the deal) goes ahead.â&#x20AC;? The potential takeover has many in Australia wondering if further consolidation will occur. Simon McNair, chief executive officer of Australian Bulk Alliance, said the Glencore takeover, if it goes ahead, would not have an immediate impact on ABA operations. However, farmers in South Australia could eventually be operating in a less competitive environment. In addition, Agrium could solidify its position in the Australian farm input market if it assumes control of Viterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm input operations. Agrium, which is also involved in the Glencore bid, already has a strong foothold in eastern Australia. It acquired the assets of the former AWB, retaining the farm input component and selling the grain handling and bulk storage facilities to Cargill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as our business at ABA is concerned, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any major changes,â&#x20AC;? McNair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But yes, there are many players in the industry that are worried about further consolidation, even though they understand that it will happen.â&#x20AC;? ABA, which is owned by Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sumitomo Corp., procures grain through 13 collection sites located primarily in the New South Wales and Victoria. It also owns a terminal in the Victorian city of Melbourne. Only one of ABAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13 collection sites competes directly with Viterra, McNair said. GrainCorp, another one of eastern Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest grain handling companies, has already been affected by the takeover rumours. Shares in publicly traded GrainCorp rose significantly earlier this month as investors fuelled speculation that it might be Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next takeover target. GrainCorp shares on the Australian Stock Exchange closed at $8.89 Aus March 16, up 79 access=subscriber section=news,none,none

cents per share, or nearly 10 percent, from the previous weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close. GrainCorp owns 280 storage facilities in eastern Australia and seven export terminals. Last year, it exported nearly eight million tonnes of Australian grain. The company is also the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth largest maltster, handling 1.4 million tonnes of malt at 19 plants in Australia and overseas. GrainCorp spokesperson Angus Trigg said the company is focused on its own operations and would not comment on market speculation related to the Viterra takeover.

Glencoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible bid for Viterra also has players in the Australian industry looking ahead at the critical issue of port access. In South Australia, Viterra has a virtual monopoly over terminal space. In addition to exporting grain that it has procured from farmers, Viterra also provides warehousing and bulk handling services to other exporters and sells excess terminal space to competing grain companies, including Glencore. Existing legislation stipulates that all terminal owners in Australia must

offer reasonable and competitive access to companies that also want to sell grain abroad. Terminal owners must submit a plan known as an access undertaking, which outlines how port space will be offered commercially. But in 2014, much of that regulatory framework will be replaced by a voluntary code of conduct that allows companies to regulate their own port access arrangements with much less government oversight. CBH, a grower-owned co-op that is based largely in Western Australia, owns four terminals on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

west coast but it also exports grain in eastern Australia. In the east, it must negotiate terminal space with its direct competitors. Ross said CBHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eastern export business wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely be affected by the proposed Viterra takeover. However, when terminal access is deregulated in 2014, the owners of port terminals will control an important strategic asset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business as usual, certainly until 2014 when the regulations on how bulk handling entities utilize their sea port terminals (are eliminated).â&#x20AC;?

AUSTRALIA | LAND OWNERSHIP

Corporate investors send Australia’s land prices up Land acquisitions in millions | BFB Group, a subsidiary of Cargill, recently bought a property for $9 million BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MELBOURNE, Aus. — Corporate control of Australia’s farmland is beginning to ruffle feathers among some of the country’s primary producers. Peter Allen, a grain and oilseed producer from central New South Wales, said corporate land acquisitions in his area have risen sharply during the past few years. At least three land acquisition companies have been accumulating land in the area.

One, the BFB Group, is associated with a subsidiary of Cargill, the world’s largest agribusiness company. Glencore International Plc of Switzerland is also acquiring a significant stake in farmland in the Australian states of N.S.W. and Queensland. “We’ve seen a very rapid rise in the corporatization of agriculture,” said Allen. “They’re buying farms wholesale and turning it over to growers that they employ.” Allen, who farms near Temora, N.S.W., said the BFB Group has invested heavily in his area.

“They’ve bought, I’d say, 17 or 18 farms and now they’re moving out of the area into another district, so they’re looking to assemble a fairly big stake.” Land prices are beginning to reflect the fact that corporate investors are buying aggressively, he added. Non-irrigated cropland near his farm is routinely selling for $1,000 to $1,200 Aus per acre. “From a family farming business point of view, it’s very difficult if you’re going to try to compete against them to buy land and expand your operation,” he said.

“Land prices here seem to be disproportionate to their returns.” Last month, an Australian newspaper reported that a hedge fund operated by a subsidiary of Cargill bought a significant stake in BFB Group. The hedge fund, Black River Asset Management, took a $40 million investment position in BFB, which now controls more than $83 million in rural Australian properties and infrastructure. BFB recently bought a large property known as Billabong Station for more than $9 million. The property is located east of Wagga Wagga, N.S.W.,

in the heart of one of the state’s most productive farming regions. Accounts filed with Australia’s corporate regulators suggest the BFB Group had annual revenues of $20 million and recorded profits of $5.4 million in 2010. Australia has foreign ownership laws that restrict how much land foreign interests can acquire. Instead of buying land directly, large agribusiness companies are acquiring land through subsidiaries or making investments with land holding companies that are based in the country, Allen said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Saskatchewan agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud chose an audience of rural councillors March 14 to announce he will soon step down from cabinet. It was an appropriate crowd. Before Bjornerud was first elected to the legislature in 1995, he had served on RM council and attended Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities conventions. He told delegates to this year’s convention, as well as cabinet colleagues and his staff in attendance, that he will not serve in cabinet after the next shuffle. Premier Brad Wall is expected to announce a new cabinet in late May or early June. Bjornerud, 66, said he will step down for selfish reasons: “This is for me and my family.” He has six young grandchildren and said he wants to be able to spend weekends with them rather than at meetings and events. He said he does not have health problems. “It’s a tough one,” Bjornerud told reporters. “It’s just been a great ride.” He recalled his first day after his election as a Liberal MLA. “I remember walking up the steps of the (legislative building) and I’d never been there, and I had a briefcase that had nothing in it because I wanted to look important,” he said. He was among the founders of the Saskatchewan Party, serving in various roles while in opposition and as agriculture minister since the party took office in late 2007. He said dealing with drought and flood were likely the two biggest challenges he faced. The biggest accomplishment, although not directly related to agricultural production, was the 80 -percent reduction of education tax on farmland. SARM president David Marit said he was shocked at Bjornerud’s decision but wished him well. Wall roasted Bjornerud, telling several stories that had the crowd roaring with laughter. He praised the minister’s work on behalf of his constituents and all farmers. “He was an irresistible force when it came to agricultural issues,” he told reporters. “His fingerprints are all over the first years of our government.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

RURAL AREAS | PREVENTING CRIME

THEFT PREVENTION TIPS

Discourage theft in rural areas

• lock or deadbolt doors, yard gates and windows • photograph and keep records of equipment, tools and other valuables in a safe location (external hard drive, safety deposit box), including all identifying marks, serial numbers, make and model information, dimensions and value. Update this information as needed

Open doors invite thieves | RCMP offer tips to minimize risk

• let neighbours and police know if you are going out of town for an extended period and have a designated contact person who can make periodic checks of the property and look for suspicious activity or tracks

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ROSALIND, Alta. — Preventing theft is mainly about common sense, an RCMP detachment commander said at the Rosalind Agricultural Society Ag Day. A locked car or door and a well-lit driveway go a long way in preventing rural crime, said cpl. Beth Philipp of the Camrose RCMP. “Property protection is not rocket science. If the door is open, they will come in.” Copper wire and portable generators top the list of the most stolen items in rural areas. Copper wire is sold for cash and generators are often used in marijuana grow operators to run expensive lighting equipment without attracting the attention of electricity providers. Knowing equipment serial numbers and vehicle identification numbers can help track down stolen goods, she said. Creating an active rural crime watch organization can also help reduce rural crime, but only if it’s active, said Philipp. RCMP will help facilitate the organization, but it’s up to local residents to keep it active. “It does work because it has people engaged in the community.” Small rural detachments don’t have enough officers to patrol the vast network of rural towns, villages and country roads daily, said Philipp, but she did encourage the audience to call the police if they have problems.

• install timers on regularly used lights on the property, ensure you have good yard lighting and motion sensors, consider using cameras or security equipment • lock vehicles and farm equipment when not in use and do not leave keys, overhead door openers or any personal identification (vehicle registration) nearby • use grain confetti in bins • tattoo or brand livestock and keep current inventory lists • empty or lower gas tank levels in equipment not in use Source: Corman Park Police / staff research

Sgt. Brian Fehr of Corman Park Police, left, offers the RM’s reeve, Mel Henry, advice on minimizing the risks of theft in rural areas. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTO “We don’t get a lot of calls from here, so that’s a nice thing. It’s a good statement about your community.” Philipp encourages increased police presence in communities rather than increased visibility. “The visibility of a police car is not as effective as members coming into the community for a visit and coffee,” said Philipp, who believes in the benefit of travelling to events throughout the community.

ARROW

“I like to come out to these meetings. It puts a face on who I am in the community.” Philipp said common sense also goes a long way in policing. She doesn’t stop every speeder she sees and expects officers to use good judgment when handing out tickets. As a detachment commander, Philipp reviews all the tickets her officers write and once reminded a

young officer it probably didn’t improve police and community relations to ticket an elderly woman for not carrying a driver’s licence. “I’ve gone to Safeway with only $20 and without my licence. If I got a $170 ticket for that, I’d be mad,” she said. “If you couldn’t show me your insurance, I’m a little more hesitant not to write a ticket.” Camrose County reeve Don Gregorwich said the municipality works

closely with the local RCMP detachment to focus on problem areas in the community. When Philipp arrived nine months ago, county officials asked her to concentrate on the proliferation of speeding vehicles and speeding gravel trucks on Highway 21 between Camrose and Edmonton. “It’s a mutual relationship,” said Gregorwich. When the county believed the detachment was understaffed, it lobbied police and provincial officials for more officers. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

WOMEN’S DAY | SEEKING EQUALITY

Campaign targets developing countries

Women make strides but still see gaps

Canadian co-ops pledge $1 million for global project BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s co-operative sector is using the United Nations-proclaimed year of the co-op as a springboard to launch a $12 million, fouryear campaign to support international co-op development. Major Canadian co-ops and members have pledged more than $1 million for the project, which is dubbed the “Build a Better World” campaign. The Co-operative Development Foundation of Canada campaign already has received pledges of: • $500,000 over four years from Federated Co-operatives Ltd. • $400,000 from Ontario dairy co-op Gay Lea Foods The campaign is being directed by FCL president Glen Tully, former Concentra Financial Services Association chief executive officer Myrna Bentley and former Co-op Atlantic CEO John Harvie. John Julian, director of international communication and development for the Canadian Co-operative Association, said the funds will support a variety of programs, including supporting credit unions and co-operatives in developing countries. One long-term possibility is to create worker co-ops in Africa to help educated and unemployed young people create self-employment. “There is a wide range of worthwhile opportunities out there that we aren’t doing as much for as we could be because of lack of resources,” he said. CDF board chair Michael Barrett said in a news release that the Canadian campaign was inspired by the international co-op year theme that co-ops build a better world. It is appealing to Canadian co-ops, affiliated businesses and individual members to donate to the cause. Barrett said the current campaign is an extension of the co-op movement’s traditional international focus. “But additional resources will allow it to more aggressively pursue innovation and excellence in co-operative poverty reduction,” he said. “With the resources we provide through the campaign, CCA will also be able to leverage substantial additional funds from the major international development funders and we want to help CCA build a lasting legacy of prosperity and peace through its partners around the world.”

Improved education | Females account for almost half the workforce, but wages still lagging behind men’s BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

When suffragettes marched the streets demanding equal rights for women, few could have imagined the progress made 100 years later. Rh’ena Oake, president of a Canadian Union of Public Employees local, said gaps still remain. “Many of you from a younger generation may feel all the battles have been won for women but many feminists from the Seventies know only too well the longevity that is ingrained in patriarchy,” she said at

The Canadian Labour Congress reports women working full time earn about 70 percent as much as men. The amount is lower for minorities.

nearly 12 percent between 1988 and 2008, with the greatest improvement seen by women aged 45 to 49. Men’s wages edged up by 1.3 percent for the same period, with men aged 35 and older seeing their wages decline. Women are also improving their education. By 2008, a quarter of younger men had university degrees while more than a third of young women held degrees. Better education is correlated with improved wages and there is a shift among younger women away from lower paying jobs like clerical and sales positions where salaries tend to be lower.

DATES | RECIPES

Dates are the bread of the desert TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

ates are the only naturally dry fruit. They have 30 percent moisture content, while most other fruits range from 75 to 95 percent moisture. Dates ripen in four stages and are known by special Arabic names: unripe (kimri), full size and crunchy (khlal), ripe and soft (rutab) and ripe and sun-dried (tamr). Ripe and dried are the forms most commonly available. When buying fresh dates, select ones that have a smooth, shiny skin and avoid those that are shrivelled or show signs of mould or damage. They are usually found in the produce section of the store while chopped dates are usually in the baking aisle. Dates are a portable powerhouse nutritionally. They are loaded with both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre and have a natural balance of many minerals such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium and potassium. They are free of saturated fat, trans fat, sodium and cholesterol. Store dates in a tightly sealed con-

tainer in the refrigerator, freezer or in a cool, dark pantry, for up to one year. Don’t store near strong flavoured food such as garlic because dates tend to absorb other flavours. After long storage, dates can become even drier, but immersing them in warm water or fruit juice for 20 to 30 minutes helps. To slice or chop dates, chill first. The colder they are, the easier they cut. In Canada, date filled cookies and matrimonial bars are traditional favourites.

LOOKING BACK | UKRAINIANS

Book documents medicinal cures from pioneer times BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Early Ukrainian settlers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the luxury of running to the doctor for every cut or sniffle. Instead, they looked in their gardens for their own medicinal remedies to cure infection, fevers and hangovers. Those kitchen remedies from early Ukrainian pioneers are captured in University of Alberta professor Michael Muczâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book, Babaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen Medicines : Folk Remedies of Ukrainian Settlers in Western Canada. Many of the home remedies are from the late 1800s to early 1900s when modern medicine was still in its infancy and pioneers had little money and almost no access to doctors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a great range of resources,â&#x20AC;? said Mucz from his office at the Augustana campus. Puffball spores kept in a bag year round were used as a simple antibiotic. More serious infections would be treated with fresh cow manure. Both puffballs and cow manure contain natural antibiotics. Simple garden plants and weeds were an important part of the home remedies, said Mucz, who included several interview transcripts in the book to give a sense of the illness and remedies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother froze his feet and hands (nohy I ruky) quite badly, but only his fingers (patsi) did not heal and became badly infected. The doctor wanted to cut them all off (vidrizaty), but Mother would not agree to this and said she would heal them herself. She had a supply of large dry leaves that had a fuzzy white bottom (coltsfoot). She wet these, wrapped t h e m a ro u n d h i s f i n g e r s, a n d changed the bandages each morning and evening. She did this for a number of months and saved all his fingers, which he has to this day,â&#x20AC;? reads one interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really feel good about the fact I used snippets of interviews. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re speaking as I heard them speak,â&#x20AC;? said Mucz. Mucz rarely interviewed the original babas, or Ukrainian grandmothers, about their remedies. Instead, he mainly talked to their children and grandchildren. He said one of the great tragedies of the book was that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start the project 10 years earlier. By the 1990s, many of the babas had died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It became a challenge for me to find folks,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bear that cross to this day.â&#x20AC;? He believes many of the people he interviewed have also since died. What became clear through the interviews was the willingness to share healing remedies with family and neighbours. Many of the home remedies were similar, with only minor variations, depending on the home village. When Mucz asked how settlers dealt with things like cancer or diabetes, the common response was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who knew?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was an ignorance about things, but there was also a great tolerance to suffer things,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want pain any longer. Unfortunately, we run to the doctor or emergency for every small, little thing.â&#x20AC;? Eighty-five percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population still uses home remedies. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

Mucz said the early pioneers knew that the body has a tremendous healing capacity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a lot of things, either a cold or mild infection, we can deal with this with rest, sleep, hydration and good nutrition,â&#x20AC;? he said. Unlike Native Americans, the early Ukrainian pioneers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use native plants. Instead, they used familiar garden plants, berries and weeds. Common cures for fever were chicken and sauerkraut soup or wormwood in water. The cure for hangovers included chrysanthemum flower tea, pickle or sauerkraut juices or eating sauerkraut and brown bread. Mould from food was used to treat skin infections.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People used what families from the village used,â&#x20AC;? said Mucz, who was part of the wave of Ukrainian settlers that came to Canada after the Second World War. Rubbing feces on ringworm was a common treatment, as were leeches and cupping to remove bad blood. Mucz said many of the women were reluctant to talk about some of their cures. They would often bow their heads when they talked about peeing on their hands and feet to help cure chapped feet and hands. Urine has uric acid, the same ingredient found in modern hand creams. This embarrassment, particularly as the children became more educated, was the beginning of the end

for home remedies. Some kitchen medicines still survive, including pouring melted wax into a pan of water to treat psychological ailments. If a person was afraid or anxious, they would go to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;w itchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? house seeking a cure. The old woman would pour hot wax that had been blessed into the pan to see an image. This would be repeated three times. The image would be gone by the third time and the person cured. Mucz said God and prayer were often invoked in the ceremonies to help cure psychological distress. He heard several stories of a witch near Two Hills, Alta., where people would travel by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;train loadâ&#x20AC;? for cures.

When all else failed, the pioneers were left with their strong faith. Not all herbal remedies were effective. Mucz said some early pioneers used an opium poppy extract to sedate their children while the parents were working in the field. The children were often left with mental problems. Alberta has the largest number of settlers of Ukrainian ancestry in Canada, and most of the interviews were conducted there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I honour the contribution of pioneers.

FARM LIVING

ON THE FARM | FAMILY BUSINESS

Family shares the load BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CL ARESHOLM, Alta. — Fourmonth-old Elizabeth Fankhauser is all smiles as she sits in her parents’ sunny kitchen on the farm east of Claresholm. She appears to share their optimism and enthusiasm for farming. Her parents, Josh and Shauna Fankhauser, farm with Josh’s father, Fritz Fankhauser, and two uncles, Ron Lamb and Cal Lamb. Between them, they grow crops on about 7,000 acres annually on their 10,000 acre property and run a 450-head cow-calf operation, all of it called Lamb Farms. The young couple lives in the same house where Josh’s mother grew up. Josh and Ron have already decided what to plant this year — canola, peas and wheat — and he is eager to put the new high-clearance sprayer to work in the fields. They think it’s a good time to be in the agriculture business, although Josh jokes about one aspect. “There’s almost too much optimism. Land prices and rents are getting stupid. I wish there was a little bit of pessimism here again. I’m an optimistic guy so if there’s a few pessimists out there, that really helps me out.” Josh wanted to farm since childhood. Shauna grew up in St. Albert, Alta., but craved rural life as well. “I always wanted to live on a farm. I was about five when I realized you

didn’t have to live in the city,” she says. She has a degree from the University of Alberta in range and pasture management. Josh has a college degree in agriculture with a minor in business. The two were introduced when Shauna visited friends in Claresholm. “The first time we met, we were arguing about the food versus fuel debate,” Josh says. Shauna worked in Lethbridge after they were married but is now home with Elizabeth. Her knowledge of pastures is handy on the cattle side of the operation. Josh gravitates to the cropping side. The wide open spaces of country living appeal to both, as does the challenge of farming. “It works the brain. There’s always something to learn. You’re not just doing the same task over and over again,” says Josh. For him, a lot of brain work goes into precision farming techniques that he has been developing since his college days. The farm uses variable rate technology, yield monitors and other high-tech equipment and programs, most of them initiated by Josh. He has also undertaken numerous plot trials and is in the second year of what he hopes will be a three or four year variable rate fertilizer trial. Working with family can be a challenge but Josh and Shauna say it works well for them because everyone works in their area of interest and

expertise and consensus is not required on every decision. “Dad, he makes the decisions for the cows and we just trust him. Because he likes it, he makes that extra 10 percent profit because he’s managing it to the maximum potential,” says Josh. “It’s the same for us on the agronomy side.” The family has done some work on succession planning. At the moment, it appears Josh is the only one of three kids in his family interested in the farm. His brother, Ben, is a computer programmer and his sister, Miriam, lives on a dairy farm in Switzerland. “But it’s an open file,” Josh says. He and Shauna say it’s fine if Elizabeth wants to farm one day, though it’s a bit too soon to gauge her interest. He sees farming as more of a business than a lifestyle. In fact, it’s a business similar to many others, even his father-in-law’s flight school. “It’s low returns based on the weather, and unpredictability. Same with the farm. We’re not special. There’s lots of others with the same types of challenge, just in a different business.” Shauna believes in sustainability and practices that protect the soil against the ravages of wind and weather. “It’s how we make our living and we want to be as responsible as we can be, and for us that means no tilling and spraying chemicals so we’re not ripping up our soil and losing our topsoil when the chinooks come through.”
