Canola thieves strike near Bon Accord, Alta.

Seeders hit fields early

RCMP surprised at how easy it is to sell stolen crop BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Warm April weather | Crops won’t emerge unless soil is at least five degrees

It’s enough to make any farmer sick. At the beginning of March, Kevin Kowalski of Bon Accord, Alta., discovered $100,000 worth of canola stolen from his bins. He’d checked the bins about a month earlier and they seemed fine, but when his hired man went to load the canola, the bin doors were wide open “flapping in the breeze,” said Kowalski. A week later at nearby Thorhild County, Redwater RCMP reported $80,000 worth of canola stolen from another set of bins. A search of the RCMP database showed $13,000 worth of canola also stolen from a farm near Maidstone, Sask., in February. In the news release about the theft, Redwater RCMP expressed surprise at how easy it was to sell the stolen canola.

Farmers are getting a jump on spring seeding, thanks to favourable weather and moisture conditions. “We’re going to get into the field this w e e k ,” s a i d Ly n n Ja c o b s o n o f Enchant, Alta. Seeding usually starts during the first week of May on Jacobson’s farm. “We’re earlier than typical in this area. We haven’t had any snow for a long time,” he said.“We could have been out seeding a week ago or two weeks if we wanted to, but the ground hadn’t warmed up.” Stewart Wells expects farmers in the Swift Current, Sask., area will be seeding this week as well. Grant McLean, cropping management specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said many farmers in his province could be planting four or five days earlier than normal because of a lack of snow cover and unseasonably warm early-spring temperatures. Whether the crop emerges earlier than normal remains to be seen because that depends on soil temperature. A wheat crop seeded into five degree soil may take 12 days to come up while one that is planted into 10 degree soil can pop up in three days. Ted Tkachyk was one of the first farmers to get a crop in the ground this spring.

SEEDING | FROM PAGE ONE

Seeders hit fields early The producer from Elm Creek, Man., planted his spring wheat April 2. While it’s an early start, April 2 doesn’t represent a record on his farm. “We’ve (started) in March three or f o u r t i m e s i n my c a re e r,” s a i d Tkachyk, reeve for the Rural Municipality of Grey. He usually likes to get in the field in the middle of April but since he has to seed 5,000 acres with one cultivator, the earlier he starts the better. “There’s a fair amount of moisture. It’s quite tacky, but it’s not going too bad,” said Tkachyk. A few other producers in central Manitoba, the Red River Valley and around Portage la Prairie, Lowe Farm and Elm Creek began seeding in early April, said Pam de Rocquigny, Manitoba Agriculture feed grain specialist. Most are planting spring wheat, but she knows of one producer who planted canola. Chuck Fossay, who farms near Starbuck, Man., decided to hold off on seeding his canola and soybeans until the middle of April because of cold nights and unsettled weather. It turned out to be a prudent decision as temperatures in Manitoba and many other areas of the Prairies plummeted over the Easter weekend. Daytime highs of 15 to 20 C in early A p r i l w e re re p l a c e d b y h i g h s between zero and 5 C. Some areas received heavy snowfall. Recent rain and snowfall improved moisture conditions in many parts of

the Prairies after an unusually dry winter, but some pockets still need moisture. Jacobson said most farms south of Calgary could use rain. He wants to get his canola in the ground as soon as possible because it needs to be seeded only half an inch deep. “There still is some moisture available at that depth but the longer we wait, we might have to go down three inches to get moisture,” he said. Soil moisture is adequate for most operations north of Calgary, with the exception of the Peace River region. McLean said conditions are shaping up nicely in Saskatchewan. “Most producers are quite optimistic. In most cases, we’ve got pretty good moisture conditions.” It is starting to look like a fairly typical year, in which the western half of the province is a lot drier than the eastern half. Growers in places like Lloydminster, North Battleford, Kindersley and Rosetown are antsy to get in the fields before it becomes excessively dry. “They wouldn’t mind a little shot of rain here just to warm up the soil and get things washed off and get the bugs rolling in the soil,” said McLean. Conversely, farmers in southeastern Saskatchewan who were flooded out last spring don’t want rain. If conditions stay as they are, most will be able to seed a crop this year. “It’s much more optimistic, particularly in the areas of the southeast where they were too wet,” he said.

Canola stolen from Alberta bins “Once the canola has been stolen, we have learned that it is surprisingly easy to sell it at a substantial profit without having verifiable identification or proof of origin,” said the news release. “Our complainant has advised that even with the use of a Super B truck, it would have taken several loads to remove all the product. “Given the specific knowledge required to effect the theft, it is highly likely the suspects have a working knowledge of the farming process.” Kowalski said he believed his four 2,000 bushel bins were in a secure location, beside a busy oil battery, about 800 metres off Highway 28, five kilometres west of Bon Accord. Workers at the oil battery said they saw a truck at the bins, but assumed the farmer was hauling the grain. A neighbour also saw a strange truck, but thought Kowalski had bought a new one. Kowalski believes the person who stole his canola is likely a farmer who had fallen on hard times. “I used to have faith and integrity in farmers, but I guess times are changing,” said Kowalski. He said the theft of his canola and the theft in Thorhild County are likely related. Kowalski thinks the thief or thieves had to make at least three trips to get the canola and likely staked it out earlier. “He wouldn’t just go in to steal barley,” said Kowalski. “It’s very brazen, but once he’s got it on the truck and out of the yard, he’s good.” With no insurance and a canola

contract to fill, Kowalski had to find other canola to fill the contract. “It’s just cash out of the bank, is what it is.” Kowalski said he has asked his insurance company about theft insurance three times in the past, but had always been told none was available. After the canola was stolen, the insurance company found a $20 rider that could have covered the theft. “That was just a kick in the teeth after the fact.” Morinville RCMP staff sgt. Mac Richards said it’s difficult for police to track stolen canola. Officers have talked to elevator agents and are looking for witnesses but have few leads. “We’re starting from a long ways back,” said Richards. “We’re playing catch up.” Kowalski said he would look into adding crop confetti to his harvested crop, but he’s not sure staff at the large high throughput elevators even notice the bits of theft-prevention paper in the grain. The confetti is likely more a deterrent for thieves. Lindsay Ewbank, office manager with Cropguard Security, who sells the coded paper flakes, said demand for the product rises and falls with the price of grain. “We’ve never had a phone call that crop was stolen with the crop guard,” she said. Pat Cowman of Operation Handsoff, which sells AgriDotDNA, another form of crop identification, said grain theft is directly related to the price of grain. “When the price drops, theft drops.”

Property rights, land use election issues

Farm group asks leaders…

Farm groups want answers | The Wildrose Alliance party promises to change or repeal bills

BY BARB GLEN

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Property rights and land use are key issues for agricultural groups as they watch Alberta’s election campaign unfold. The Progressive Conservatives, which have held government for 41 years, introduced several bills in recent years that raised concern about property rights and landowners’ ability to obtain or challenge compensation amounts provided for land used for public projects. Those concerns have become an issue in the election campaign that culminates April 23. “Most importantly, we need to address all these land use and land rights issues. There’s still a lot of work to be done there,” said Alberta Beef Producers chair Doug Sawyer. The Wildrose Alliance party, which has emerged as the chief rival to the PCs, has promised to repeal the controversial bills, while the PCs have amended some bills and promised a review of others. “We’d sure like the opportunity and

LYNN JACOBSON WRAP PRESIDENT

a commitment from them to work on substantial changes,” said Sawyer about the eventual winner. Among the controversial legislation was Bill 50, the Electric Statutes Amendment Act, which asserts the need for additional electrical transmission lines. That bill is a concern for Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, Alberta’s general farm group. “We’re saying (that) since it seems to be such a big concern for producers, and some groups are going around saying our power bills are going to triple over the next so many years … we think maybe the decisions by the present government should be revisited,” said WRAP president Lynn Jacobson. “We probably need some more

electrical generation, but we’re not quite sure we need the amount that’s been proposed. There doesn’t seem to be the checks and balances on building a transmission line.” Jacobson also said clarity is needed on landowners’ rights because the letter of the law and the opinions of those who oppose it are in major disconnect. Kevin Bender, president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said he has trouble believing a PC government would threaten property rights, but acknowledged there is controversy. Doug Robertson of the Western Barley Growers Association said his group will be looking to the next government for action to improve grain shipping through the Port of Prince Rupert in Northern British Columbia where the province has an investment. As well, barley growers want the Alberta government to help pressure the federal government to complete a rail service review so railways understand their commitments to levels of service.

Provincial support on grain issues was also on Matt Sawyer’s wish list. The chair of the Alberta Barley Commission said his group has few other major requests of the next government but supports a continuing emphasis on trade. Trade is definitely an issue for ABP, added Doug Sawyer. “We have to make sure industry can take advantage of global markets,” he said. “We need research. We need joint ventures on research. We need a commitment from the provincial government to continue with research and to also entice researchers.” Wildrose has said it will scrap the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency if it is elected, which worries Sawyer. ALMA allocates research money to livestock related projects. “I am a bit concerned on the Wildrose platform about getting rid of ALMA. They don’t have another place that I can find where the money that ALMA was putting into market development and research is coming back. It seems like it’s a budget cut.”

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta’s general farm organization is seeking answers to six questions from all parties running in the provincial election. Wild Rose Agriculture Producers chair Lynn Jacobson said the questions were sent to party leaders April 4, and WRAP intends to make responses public when they are provided. #1: Alternate land use services WRAP seeks comment on the idea of paying farmers to protect and preserve habitat and the environment, as has been explored in pilot projects in Alberta and Manitoba. “If you were paid to keep (wetlands), it might encourage people to keep the sloughs for the wildlife and basically for water retention. It’s good agricultural practice, when it comes down to it,” said Jacobson. #2: Renewable energy Solar, wind and geothermal energy could mitigate demand for increasing electrical generation from other sources, while providing additional income to farmers. WRAP suggests farmers should be able to connect to the grid at reasonable cost and sell excess power. “Would your party, if elected, make changes to power regulations to give farmers the opportunity to contribute both to the environment and the well-being of the Alberta economy by better utilizing alternate energy?” WRAP asks. #3: Electricity WRAP questions the need and expense associated with new transmission lines approved by the current government. Predictions of drastically higher electrical bills are a concern for farmers, Jacobson said. His group is asking parties to explain how they would address the prospect of higher costs.

Student voters share personal concerns BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH & MARY MACARTHUR CALGARY, CAMROSE BUREAUS

OLDS, Alta. — Student loans, farm debt and financial unpredictability loom over young people considering an agriculture career in Alberta. Many are going to the polls for the first time April 23 and they foresee a future of off-farm jobs and careful planning to juggle debt. A mature student at 27, Joanne Solverson of Camrose wants more support for business risk management, research, technology and innovation. She graduates this spring from Olds College with a diploma in agricultural management with a major in marketing. “Agriculture is a very big risk to be in,” she said. “You don’t know exactly what is going to happen to affect the

profits you are going to get. Programs are needed to encourage people to come to the farm and (get) back into the country life.” The Wildrose Alliance Party has promised to dismantle the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, but she objects to that because it directs grants for research and technology. Twenty-year-old Rebecca Joseph of Lakeland College welcomes any assistance. “It would be really nice to see if we can get some help for these young farmers who want to go off on their own but they can’t afford it,” she said. “That is a big setback for a lot of kids. Yes, they do want their own farm, but there is no way to get the money to start a farm.” The Progressive Conservatives promise to support youth through 4-H, but Joseph, who is a former

member, calls that initiative too little too late. “There needs to be more money in a young farmer program for people who are in the 18 to 30 age category,” she said. Nathan Serena, 21, who grew up on a farm near Bow Island, is waffling about returning to the farm. He doesn’t see how he can afford to start. It took him three weeks and several tries to get a bank loan for $10,000 to buy a car. It would be impossible to get a $1 million line of credit. Sereda would like the political parties to offer tax credits or more flexible young farmer loans to allow young people to farm. “They’ve got to make it easier for young farmers to start out.” The parties catch his attention when they talk about university tuition. The cost of education is a big

expense for the third year physical education student at the University of Alberta’s Augustana campus. “A lot of students are catching hold of the idea to reduce tuition costs to even zero,” he said. While the Wildrose, NDP and Liberals have all announced tuition fee reductions, Sereda is worried that cash-strapped universities will just tack on “non-instructional” fees for the cost of school and that students would then end up paying the same. “The only way to have post secondary cost less is more money going to the universities,” said Sereda, who sits on the school’s student association. Another great need, but not often talked about, is better infrastructure funding, he said. “I’ve noticed the roads are becoming more and more deteriorated.”

# 4: Landowner rights Legislation governing property rights and landowners’ ability to get adequate compensation and contest the fairness of payments for land used for public projects have raised controversy. WRAP seeks clarification and information on party intentions. # 5: Checkoff for general farm organizations “We think there should be ways and means to have a checkoff, a way of funding (general farm) organizations,” said Jacobson. Members fund WRAP, but a formalized checkoff would provide stable funding for ongoing lobby efforts, he added. The group wants to know if parties support the idea of a general checkoff. # 6: Right to farm Jacobson said an increasingly urban population in Alberta will inevitably lead to more urban-rural conflicts on issues such as farm practices and pesticide use. Farmers will need input on regional plans to protect their interests. WRAP seeks comment on whether parties will ensure agriculture is engaged in developing regional plans.

MAKING THE ROUNDS SNOW OR SHINE

RESEARCH | INVESTMENT

Research in decline with long-term funding shortfall Staying competitive | Long-term government funding needed, says Guelph professor STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canada’s public investment in long-term agricultural research has been inadequate for years and the result is declining competitiveness, says a University of Guelph professor. John Cranfield told an April 5 Ottawa conference that government focus has shifted away from research investment in recent decades in favour of farm income stabilization policy. “This is the canary in the proverbial coal mine,” he told the conference sponsored by the University of Guelph. “We are falling behind other countries.” Cranfield said private sector research investment has not typically filled in the gap and when it does, the goal is usually short-term productfocused research aimed at commercializing a result within years. Continuing investment in longterm “what if” research suffers. He said that while some farmers do contribute to research through checkoffs on their production, only one national research and promotion check-off agency (beef ) has been set up under the authority of the Farm Products Council of Canada in the past two decades. As well, farmer support for the levy drops off when check-off directors propose higher rates to fund the work. “As the levy goes up, support goes down.” In an interview, Cranfield argued that long-term research funding by government has declined because it does not produce fast results that governments need. “Arguing that this investment is important but results might not happen for 20 years is a tough sell for a government and politicians with a four-year lifespan and the need to show value for investment,” he said. “There is a disconnect between the search for scientific knowledge and the objective of job creation and measurable results.” However, he argued that many

other countries are making those long-term investments. “The question that I think is important from a competitiveness point of view is whether we are doing enough to maintain a relative position in the international market,” he said. “If other countries are outspending us, we end up suffering down the road when we have 1970s technologies and everyone else has 21st century technologies and some of the international comparisons are starting to bear this out. We are sliding in terms of investment in long-term research.” Part of the national debate is a farmer lobby, led by Grain Growers of Canada, that calls on Agriculture Canada to double its research investment over a decade. It says only then will research investment be restored in relative terms to levels that existed in 1994 before the massive budget reductions in the 1995 deficit-cutting budget. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz insists that the farm lobby has it wrong. “There’s concern that we’re not spending as much. We certainly are,” he said during a March 30 post-budget news conference. “We’re outspending 1994 levels, even with inflation figured in. We’ll continue to do that.” Ritz cited the Agri-Innovation Fund as an example of recent government efforts that have restored research and innovation funding. Cranfield said it is impossible to resolve the debate by the numbers because 2012 budget calculations are different from 1994. “It is frustrating when you look at expenditures on science, research and development and it is difficult to compare,” he said. “There is no data to support the argument (that research spending has not recovered), but certainly the stories we hear from people in the know suggest that it hasn’t returned to where it once was and that doesn’t take into account the effects of inflation. It means we are falling back.”

MARKETING | CANADA

Supply management faces change, but system will survive: economist Evolution necessary | Research chair suggests lower tariffs, bigger farms Despite predictions from CWB single desk supporters that supply management marketing monopolies will be the next Conservative target, a prominent Quebec agricultural economist sees little prospect that will happen. However, Bruno Larue, Canada research chair in international agrifood trade at Quebec City’s Laval University, told an April 5 food policy conference in Ottawa that supply management should not be complacent. Changes should be made, including a lowering of protective tariffs and taking steps to lower Canadian production costs by increasing farm size, particularly in dairy. “The political equilibrium is solid,” he said. “Still, I think it is time to change the way supply management operates.” Larue said much of the political equilibrium comes from the fact that the system of production controls, administered prices and import controls benefits too many players to be dismantled, including producers, processors and financial lenders. As well, any dismantling of the sys-

tem would force governments to consider a costly buyout to compensate for quota value loss. “There is a case to be made for compensation,” Larue said. “With the constraints on the budget now, I don’t see it coming.” Besides, those who lose because of the system, including consumers and the poor, have little organization or policy voice. “Supply management has not lasted as long as it has without significant support,” Larue told the conference, organized by the University of Guelph. Trade negotiations will continue to put pressure on the protectionist policy, “but I think supply management is safe for awhile.”He made contentious proposals for reform. Larue said Canadian dairy production costs are higher in Canada than in many other countries and a major reason is that the system encourages and protects smaller operations that have higher costs. “We need economies of scale to get costs down.” However, high over-quota import

tariffs protect Canadian producers against much challenge from lowercost competitors, and efforts to limit quota values mean less quota is going to market, which stifles farmers’ ability to buy quota to expand their farm base. He said significant cost of production reductions come after the milking herd grows beyond 1,000 head. The average Quebec dairy herd is 60 head, he added. Larue proposed that guaranteed import access granted through tariff rate quotas be ended and that TRQs be replaced by tariffs that would then be lowered. Supply management defenders insist lower tariff protection would lead to more imports and erosion of predictability of supply that the system needs to administer quota and pricing rules. Larue disagreed. He argued that increased competition would force the industry to restructure to lower production costs, which in turn would make the industry more cost-competitive and better able to defend its market share against potential imports.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | ONGOING LEGAL BATTLE

Former CWB directors continue challenge with appeal BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The ongoing legal battle between the federal government and champions of single-desk grain marketing has taken yet another twist. Former CWB directors announced April 4 that they will appeal an earlier court ruling that refused to grant an injunction blocking Bill C-18. Former CWB directors who were seeking an injunction against Bill C-18 had argued that implementing

the bill should be delayed until Canada’s court system has had an opportunity to thoroughly assess its validity. But in late February, Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench judge Shane Perlmutter refused to grant the injunction. Stewart Wells, a Saskatchewan farmer and former CWB director, said earlier this week that an appeal of Perlmutter’s decision is warranted, given all that’s at stake for western Canadian grain farmers. Farmer support for the appeal, and

for other CWB-related court actions, has been strong, he added. Court actions that support singledesk marketing are being funded largely through producer donations. “Our fundraising efforts … have been inspirational,” Wells said. “A lot (of farmers) understand that we are at a real crossroad in this country.” Bill Gehl, chair of the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance, said his group would support the appeal. Wells and other farmers involved in

the case should be applauded for standing up for the democratic rights of farmers, he added. “Our membership strongly supports our elected CWB directors in their appeal of (Perlmutter’s ruling) … which ignored the right of farmers to have a fair vote on the future of our single desk wheat board,” Gehl said. Wells said he and others felt that Perlmutter’s decision was based partially on information that was not formally presented in the court.

That information included a consideration of whether single-desk marketing was providing a financial benefit to prairie grain farmers. Instead, Perlmutter’s ruling should have focused on the validity of Bill C-18 and on whether Ottawa had adequately sought farmers’ opinions before making changes to the wheat board. “After taking a very close look at judge Perlmutter’s ruling, it was decided that the ruling had to be appealed,” Wells said.

Court decision delays end of long-gun registry

Tales of a storm chaser | Greg Johnson shares experiences as he travels through Tornado Alley

OTTAWA BUREAU

Despite the Conservatives’ best efforts last week to kill it, the federal long gun registry lives on, at least for this week. For federal Conservatives and antiregistry campaigners, April 5 was supposed to be end-of-the-long-gun registr y day after the Senate approved Bill C-19 April 4 and governor-general David Johnston was scheduled to make it law. Then Quebec Superior Court judge Jean-François de Grandpré rained on the Conservative celebration, at least temporarily. He ruled April 5 that the law should be suspended while legal issues are resolved surrounding a Quebec government demand that registry data for the province be retained and turned over to Quebec City, which wants to create a provincial registry. The ruling did not challenge the government’s right to end the national federal registry, just its plan to destroy all 17 years of registry data. Further hearings on the case are scheduled for late this week. The office of public safety minister Vic Toews noted April 5 that the order is in effect only until the end of April 13 unless the Quebec court issues a further injunction. “This injunction is temporary and doesn’t diminish our commitment to ending the long-gun registry once and for all,” Toews’ communications director Julie Carmichael said in an e-mail to reporters. “We are disappointed to see that contrary to the will of Canadians and of Parliament, the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry is still alive.” Despite some dissension in their ranks, New Democrat and Liberal opposition parties cheered the court order and demanded that Ottawa cancel its plan to destroy gun registry data. They also want Ottawa to help provinces set up their own registries, although Quebec is the only jurisdiction to say it wants to. The Conservatives did not see the delay coming April 5, even though Quebec government lawyers went to court that morning. “I am very proud to report that our government has ended the long gun registry once and for all,” southern Manitoba MP Candice Hoeppner told the House of Commons early in the afternoon. This afternoon the royal assent of Bill C-19 will be proclaimed.” She noted support from two New Democrat MPs in the Commons and three Liberal senators for passage of the bill. “Together, we are ending the long gun registry once and for all. We have fulfilled our commitment to Canadians.” Alberta Conservative senator Betty Unger also started premature celebrations. In 2000, she ran against then-justice minister Ann McLellan in large part on the gun registry. She lost narrowly. “Although I lost the election back in 2000, I felt victorious yesterday as I stood in the Senate chamber with my colleagues to cast my vote, which finally ended the travesty of the longgun registry,” she said in an April 5 statement. As it turned out, she spoke a little too soon.

There are times when Greg Johnson sleeps while it’s sunny. And when it’s storming, the Regina-based storm chaser is on the road, travelling countless hours and thousands of kilometres to document tornadoes and extreme weather events across the United States. Johnson has followed some fantastic and terrifying weather events, even witnessing firsthand the aftermath of last year’s tornado in Joplin, Missouri. These events, he cautions, aren’t isolated to the central United States. Beginning in the spring, storms begin to fire up over Texas and Louisiana, moving north as warm and moist Gulf of Mexico air clashes with Arctic air. Tornado Alley, as it’s called, actually ends on the Prairies, Johnson said, showing itself in a three- or four-week window of storm opportunities in July. Think of the 1912 Regina Cyclone or the more recent 2000 storm in Pine Lake, Alta., and the storms in Kawacatoose First Nation and Raymore, Sask., in 2010. Those are the extreme examples. Many tornadoes on the Prairies go unnoticed or unreported and, with a small population spread out over a large space, do little damage. “But that makes (them) no less strong or dangerous than anything you get down south,” said Johnson. For half a decade, Johnson pursued storms as a hobby, using vacation time to document tornadoes and build a knowledge base and skill-set for the craft. Then, in 2011, the father of three sold his photography studio and entered the storm chasing business full-time.

He decked out a Nissan Essex with an onboard doppler radar, his camera gear and a few team members for assistance and went to work. His travels through the memorable 2011 storm season are documented in Blown Away: A Year Through the Lens of the Tornado Hunter. The book is filled with captivating photos from the 60,000 kilometres he spent on the road and familiar scenes from Saskatchewan and Manitoba. One of his favourite photos of the year, from Pense, Sask., shows a

massive lightning bolt stretching from the sky to the ground, illuminating a Viterra elevator. “Whenever somebody comes up, they want to talk about their own personal experience,” he said duri n g a re c e n t b o o k s i g n i n g i n Saskatoon. Johnson sells storm photos and videos, teaches photography workshops and shares his experiences as a keynote speaker. “They start describing what the clouds looked like, and star t describing what happened and how they survived,” he added.

“Everyone seems to have some sort of relational story with weather.” He will soon be hitting the road again and is making plans by upgrading to a Ford F-150 truck and paying close attention to the weather. He said unusually high temperatures might carry over into an “extremely warm summer,” which if true could bring an earlier and prolonged start to the storm season north of the border. “All indicators are at this point that we should see a very, very severe weather season.”

Good growing season ahead? Meteorologists predict normal conditions | Warm, dry spring expected for most areas

Pork prices to rebound after ‘pink slime’ BY ED WHITE

BY ED WHITE

WINNIPEG BUREAU

A weather forecast of normal growing conditions will probably be a relief for many prairie farmers who had to contend with a weird winter and last year’s devastatingly wet spring. “I don’t think in general this is a real stressful looking scenario,” DTN agricultural meteorologist Bryce Anderson said during a North American spring wheat outlook session. “The scenario we’re looking at, I think, is quite favourable as far as field work is concerned, as far as planting is concerned.” Anderson said the odds favour a growing season of close to average heat and moisture. He does not think the present dryness across most of the Prairies and northern U.S. Plains will turn into a drought, nor does he call for another period of heavy moisture like the one that saturated much of Manitoba and Saskatchewan last spring. Wheat prices have generally been the weakest of the big North American crops because of large stocks of low and medium quality wheat. However, Joe Victor of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange said not only does demand for high protein wheat continue to draw higher premiums since 2006, but spring wheat stocks in North America are much lower than for soft red winter, which is the class of wheat that tends to lead prices. He said stocks of soft and red winter have grown in the past three years, but hard red spring wheat stocks have stayed flat compared to demand. Hard red spring wheat stocks are not, by themselves, onerous. Anderson said his weather forecast is based on El Nino replacing La Nina by June, which he said has a 60 percent chance of happening. Warm and dry conditions mean farmers across North America’s spring wheat belt could seed up to a month earlier than usual, he added. Some areas of South Dakota and western Minnesota are already experiencing drought-like conditions.

Wheat seeding is expected to progress more rapidly than usual because of good weather this spring. A whopping 21 percent of the U.S. spring wheat crop was seeded as of April 8, well ahead of the five-year average of five percent. | FILE PHOTO However, Anderson thinks the Prairies will receive average to slightly above average precipitation over the growing season. “This can cause some mid-season hiccups in how the crop progresses,” he said about the likelihood of slightly above average moisture for June. The driest parts of the Prairies are west-central Saskatchewan and east-central Alberta, but southern Alberta and southwestern Sas-

katchewan are likely to get the most rain in June if the El Nino develops. “It’s not a bad start to the season,” said Anderson. However, first frost dates are likely to be about a week early in many areas of central Saskatchewan, with Prince Albert likely to see frost Sept. 1 and Weyburn and Moose Jaw feeling it Sept. 10. He said it could be a good year to harvest a decent crop of wheat, with weather problems in many regions

of the world reducing the size of likely crops. In Europe, only central Germany has good moisture, while dry conditions dominate Spain and France and extend east and west across Europe. Russia’s west is doing well, but the eastern New Lands region is dry, as is Kazakhstan. Ukraine has three patches of drought, reducing its wheat harvest by nine million tonnes this year.

Pork should be able to wipe the “pink slime” off its prices and regain some of the value it has lost in recent weeks, say meat market analysts. The controversy has been about beef, not pork, they say, and pork supplies are barely increasing this year, regardless of high prices. As well, beef supplies are low compared to consumer demand, even if ground beef demand drops because of “pink slime” fears. Meat supplies will have trouble meeting demand without pushing up prices. “With that issue receiving less attention, hog prices should be set for a spring rally in the next six weeks,” said Purdue University agricultural economist Chris Hurt April 9. “Over the past five years … live hog prices have rallied an average of $11 per hundredweight into mid-May.” However, some analysts think pork export demand is slowing, so North American pork prices could face headwinds in trying to reach their former elevation. “Relative to history, forward prices for the summer months represent fair value, and given the uncertainty in export markets, deserve consideration,” said Tyler Fulton of Hams Marketing Services. The “pink slime” controversy erupted after images and descriptions of what the meat industry calls “lean finely textured” beef began to spread across the internet. Consumer disgust became widespread, with demand for ground beef dropping across the United States. Some U.S. meat processing plants have closed, and at least one has gone bankrupt. Beef prices slumped and most analysts say “pink slime” was the main cause. However, pork prices also slumped and analysts think it was related to the beef controversy because consumers became disgusted by all ground meat products and avoided them. However, hog futures prices have staged an impressive comeback since the beginning of April, while CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

cattle futures have merely arrested their slump. June Chicago lean hog futures fell from about $93.75 per hundredweight at the outset of the controversy to bottom at nearly $90. They then recovered by April 9 to $93.62. However, fed cattle fell from $122 to f $115-$117 and have not risen from there. The ability of hog and pork prices to rise out of the slime-induced slump suggests to some that they hav e a s t ro n g f o u n d at i o n a n d should rise into summer. The most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture hogs and pigs report shows sow numbers in the U.S. increased only 0.6 percent compared to year-before numbers and the slaughter herd increasing by only

two percent by summer. Low reported farrowing intentions for the coming months should lead to only a one percent increase in the slaughter population this fall and into next year, analysts say. Beef supplies are also low compared to consumer demand. Hurt said only 55 pounds of beef are available to each U.S. consumer this year, compared to 65 lb. five years ago. That should lead beef prices to average $5.15 per lb. this year, up seven percent from last year, Hurt said. However, some analysts think the sudden selloff of pork and beef recently shows underlying weakness in the meat market. Many believe that China and other important importers have slowed buying, which may subject meat prices to continuing challenges. Fulton cautioned farmers to not assume prices have to rise from here into an inevitable spring rally. “This year’s market fundamentals are shaping up very differently from year ago levels, with South Korea and China less active in the market,” said Fulton. “Producers should consider pricing 25 percent of their June to September production at current prices,” he said. “Forward prices offered for the fourth quarter represent even better value than the summer months, and adding an equivalent amount of protection in this period would be prudent.” Most analysts say the “pink slime” controversy is still hurting the beef market, although media attention is waning. It is difficult to assess the gross-out factor’s ability to deter consumers from eating hamburgers at summer barbecues. “Lean finely textured beef ” is an approved product and is generally considered safe for humans to eat.

what is pink slime? The term “pink slime” was coined in 2002 by USDA microbiologist Gerald Zirnstein. Also known as lean finely textured beef or boneless lean beef trimmings, pink slime consists of finely ground beef scraps and connective tissue that has been processed, heated, and treated to kill bacteria, then finely ground and compressed into blocks, then flash frozen. Lean finely textured beef may be added to ground beef as a filler or can be added to other meat products such as beef-based processed meats. | Source: Staff research

ETHANOL | POLICY

Higher U.S. ethanol content may spur demand for corn BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The biggest customer of American corn may be developing more of an appetite for the crop because of a recent policy development. On April 2, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved E15, which is gasoline with a 15 percent blend of ethanol. Pumps had previously been allowed to sell only E10 or 10 percent blends. Other steps must be taken at the federal, state and local levels before E15 will be seen in gas stations, but it is getting close to being a commercial reality after three years of intense lobbying from the corn and ethanol industries. “We hope that within a matter of months we can get this important blend into vehicles to help decrease our nation’s reliance on foreign oil and help bring gas prices down,” said Garry Niemeyer, president of the National Corn Growers Association. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates the ethanol industry will consume 40 percent of the 2011 corn crop. That share could rise in 2012 because of the approval of E15 blends. “What it does is it really opens up the potential for demand for corn ethanol,” said Nick Paulson, assistant professor of agricultural and consumer economics at the University of Illinois. The United States has established a federal mandate for 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol to be blended into the fuel supply in 2012. Paulson said it was becoming increasingly difficult to meet the ever-growing federal mandate when capped at a 10 percent blend. The mandate establishes a floor for ethanol demand, but it is an attractive commodity these days because it sells for about $1 per gallon cheaper on average than gasoline. “Refiners would like to blend even more ethanol than they are, but they have been running up against that 10 percent blend wall,” said Paulson. The Renewable Fuels Association says E15 could be available as early

E15 rules permit up to 15 percent ethanol in gasoline. | as summer in the U.S. Midwest, where states have already begun to address their regulatory requirements for the fuel blend. “We’d encourage all Americans to ask their local filling station how soon they will see more affordable E15,” said Tom Buis, chief executive officer of Growth Energy, another ethanol advocacy group. A summer launch of E15 at the pumps would likely boost corn demand from the ethanol industry, but Paulson said there is also a scenario where fuel blenders could use less corn ethanol than anticipated. That’s because there is more concern than usual that the U.S. could be facing widespread drought in 2012. If that happens, it could result in a short corn crop, higher corn prices and reduced margins for blending ethanol. Under that scenario, blenders would reduce ethanol purchases to the requirements stipulated in the federal mandate. While some in the corn industry

cite the mandate as a reason to remain bullish on corn prices, Paulson has a theory that corn demand from the ethanol sector could be as much as 19 percent lower than what the mandate suggests. Ethanol is assigned a renewable identification number (RIN) when a batch is produced. Refiners submit that number to the EPA when they blend the batch into the fuel supply to prove they have met their obligations under the mandate. However, blenders have been blending more ethanol than required under federal law since 2007 and stockpiling those RINs. Paulson estimates there are 2.5 billion gallons worth of stockpiled RINs, or about 19 percent of the 2012 ethanol mandate. That represents 900 million bushels of corn demand that might not materialize under a scenario in which prices are rising. Corn prices would still rise because of the short crop, but the increase might not be as big as people had anticipated, he said.

WORLD POLITICS | GAS PRICES

Multiple factors contribute to pocket pain at the gas pump MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

ising gasoline prices are grabbing headlines with some analysts warning that the h i g h cost of fuel could stall the weak economic revival. The debate about who to blame — speculators, Middle Eastern tensions, government policy — is hotter than ever.

It appears a combination of factors are at work: rising world demand for oil, political tensions in the Persian Gulf, pipeline inadequacies in North America, seasonal refinery schedules and Wall Street speculators. Oil demand in North America and Europe is anemic because of weak economic performance, but rising demand from fast growing developing countries more than makes up for it. A report by Barclays Capital notes demand in Brazil, India, China and Saudi Arabia since 2006 grew by 5.1 million barrels a day while the rest of the world fell by 1.4 million barrels. Against that backdrop, crude oil also edges higher every time tensions rise over Iran. Countries are boycotting Iran’s oil to pressure it to stop its nuclear program. Iran’s government replies

with threats to block the Strait of Hormuz, stopping oil shipments from several Persian Gulf crude producers. Every energy price trend is made more dramatic by the influence of huge pools of speculative money that pour in pursuing profits. The world price of crude, reflected in the North Sea Brent price, rises. Brent has climbed about 10 percent since the end of the December. But the North American price — West Texas Intermediate at Cushing, Oklahoma — is up only four percent. Increasing production from Alberta’s oilsands and the Bakken field are trapped by inadequate pipeline capacity, which creates a glut in Cushing, an important pipeline hub. That explains the push to get approval for new pipelines to move

western Canadian oil to the Gulf of Mexico or the West Coast, where it would fetch the higher world price. Refineries on the East Coast are squeezed because they can’t get cheaper oil from western North America. Two plants have closed, reducing the supply of gasoline. That comes at a time when refineries traditionally switch from winter grade gas to summer grade and perform maintenance. The result is gas prices rising faster than crude. The average Canadian gas price has risen 15 percent, according to Gasbuddy.com. The widening gap between crude and gasoline indicates strong profits for refiners, and a reason for Federated Co-operatives to argue that membership in a co-op that has a refinery should produce

good patronage dividends. The average Canadian diesel price, so critical to farmers, has not risen as much as gas this year. But then its price did not drift lower as gasoline did last fall. Rather, diesel rose sharply in October and has hovered around $1.30 a litre since then. Rising energy costs are a boon and bane to farmers, increasing their input costs but also supporting the price of their crops because of the link between crops and biofuel. While Middle Eastern tensions and pipeline debates add to oil price volatility, farmers can safely assume that fuel prices are on a long-term upward trend because of rising demand.

China takes first shipment of corn from Ukraine New partner | Corn and wheat imports from Ukraine could rise alongside Chinese demand BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China, the world’s largest consumer of corn, has bought its first shipment of 50,000 tonnes of corn and wheat from Ukraine and may raise corn imports from the East European nation significantly over the next few years, China Daily reported. The paper quoted Oleg Bakhmatyuk, chair of Ukrland-farming Plc, Ukraine’s largest agro-industrial company, as saying corn imports may rise to one to 1.5 million tonnes over the next three years. China does not yet have a corn trade pact with Ukraine. Aware of its longer-term import needs, China is increasing its supply sources, having relied on the United States for most of its corn imports. Last month, China signed a sanitary

protocol with Argentina that allows China to buy Argentine corn products after months of negotiations. The China Daily report said the first Ukrainian shipment, carrying both corn and wheat, was on its way to China. China is widely expected to dominate the global trade of corn in the years ahead after becoming a net importer just three years ago. Many analysts see the rise in corn imports mirroring the quick rise in soybean imports that have made China the world’s top soy buyer. Imports surged to 1.27 million tonnes in the first two months of the year, nearly three-quarters of last year’s total imports, because domestic suppliers were tighter than expected and prices were high.

China’s growing livestock herds are starting to outstrip the country’s ability to provide feed, causing it to look to new corn suppliers such as Ukraine. | REUTERS PHOTO

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE LOWER

placed calves start to appear.

Negative publicity about lean finely textured beef, dubbed pink slime, pressured cattle futures lower. U.S. packer operating margins fell to the lowest point ever. Cash prices fell sharply in the United States and Canada, with the Canfax weekly fed steer average at $109.75 per hundredweight, down $5.08, and heifers at $109.97, down $5.39. Alberta rail grade steers averaged $184.50-$185.75. For the past couple of weeks, U.S. buyers have procured lots of Canadian cattle, but despite this Canadian packers haven’t felt the need to bid aggressively. For the fifth consecutive week, the show list had fewer captive supplies, but that failed to energize the cash market. Weekly sales volume totalled 11,747 head, down one percent. The cash to futures basis strengthened to -$7.97. The average steer carcass is 881 pounds, up from 854 lb. last year at the same time. However, weights should fall as more calves enter the slaughter mix. Poor feeding margins and increasing cost of gain could accelerate marketings. Beef demand after Easter should pick up. Fed supplies should increase toward the end of the month as fall-

COW VALUES RISE

March 24 totalled 3,587 head, down one percent.

FEEDER PRICES FALL Canadian non-fed prices rose as the U.S. gears up to import more lean trim to make up for the loss of lean finely textured beef. D1, D2 cows prices rose 57 cents per cwt. to average $77, while D3 cows were steady at $69.60. Rail prices were about $1 higher to range from $140-$151. Butcher bulls rose to average $88 per cwt. Weekly exports of non-fed cattle to

Feeder volumes at auction declined seasonally. The weaker fed market and higher barley costs drove feeder prices generally $1.50 per cwt. lower. Stockers lighter than 500 lb. fell $1.50-$3. Heifers 500-600 lb. fell $2.50 while steers in the same weight class were moderately lower. Auction volume during the holiday shortened week was 14,388 head, 46

percent lower than the previous week. Struggling fed prices will likely keep pressure on feeders this week, but U.S. interest provides support. Interest in grass cattle might strengthen with improved southern Alberta soil moisture.

Weekly Canadian cutouts to March 30 saw AAA and AA values fall slightly more than $2.60 per cwt., with AAA at $187.84 and AA at $184.82. Canadian fed slaughter for the same week was nine percent smaller at 43,798 head.

The U.S. Choice cutout was $10.29 US lower than the same week last year and Select was down $8.64. The Montreal wholesale market delivery this week was steady at $212-$214 Cdn.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS STEADY U.S. packer operating profits fell further into negative territory and slaughter plants were closed for Good Friday. Warm spring weather is leading to larger carcass weights. There is hope that meat demand for barbecues will pick up after Easter. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs were about $61.25 US per hundredweight. April 5, compared to $61.50 March 30. U.S. pork carcass cut-out values fell to $78.15 April 5 from $79.97 March 30.

The U.S. federal weekly slaughter to April 5 was 1.67 million, up from 1.65 million in the same period the week before.

Feeder bulls and heifers born in 2010 were $2-$2.10 per lb.

BISON STEADY

Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 448 sheep and 142 goats sold April 2. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $240-$264 per cwt., 70 to 85 lb. were $216-$238, 86 to 105 lb. were $180$211 and 106 lb. and heavier were $160-$184. Wool rams were $69-$100 per cwt. Cull ewes were $59-$84 and bred ewes were $250-$360 per head. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were

The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.65-$3.90 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.60-$3.90. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.40-$2.60 per lb. In the live market, heifers born in 2011 were $2-$2.50 per lb. and bulls were $2.25-$2.75 per lb.

LAMBS STRONGER

$225-$246 per cwt., 70 to 85 lb. were $208-$226, 86 to 105 lb. were $190$216 and 106 lb. and heavier were $160-$178. Hair rams were $80-$100 per cwt. Cull ewes were $75-$95. Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $225-$280. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $220-$287 per cwt. Nannies were $80-$110 per cwt. Billies were $122-$147.50. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 1,898 sheep and lambs and 122 goats traded April 2. All new well-fed crop lambs sold at higher prices. Good lightweight kid goats sold at a premium. Sheep and all other types of lambs and goats sold steady.

TRADE | NEGOTIATING DEALS

CRAIG’S VIEW

Federal trade agenda vital to agricultural prosperity

anadian prime minister Stephen Harper and his government are under pressure lately, whether it be the robocall scandal or questions over the F-35 fighter jet deal. So when there’s a bright spot in government policy efforts, as now exists in the trade file, it deserves to be recognized. Recently, Harper, trade minister Ed Fast, foreign affairs minister John Baird and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz took their lobby efforts to Asia to push forward negotiations on trade deals with Japan, South Korea and Thailand. The government has also been furiously knocking on doors of countries involved in the Trans-Pacific Partnership to gain a voice at the negotiating table as nine countries wrestle to come up with a plan for more liberalized trade. That’s a wise move, given that the stakes at the Trans-Pacific talks are potentially huge. By being present during the development stages, Canada can influence the framework and the rules upon which future trade in the region may depend. That is much more favourable than signing a deal later into which it has no input. As well, if Japan gets its wish to be included in the talks, and if other TransPacific countries gain favoured access, Canada risks losing its ability to compete against the likes of New Zealand, Australia and the United States in some of its most lucrative markets.. The Conservatives have other potential deals in the works as well. Canada is in talks with the European Union, Japan, South Korea, India and at least 11 others. As well, there are the broader World Trade Organization and North American Free Trade Agreement deals. In a nation that produces far more than it consumes, trade arrangements are the agricultural sector’s lifeblood and their importance is only going to grow. With the world struggling to come up with ways to feed a booming population, which is expected to reach 10 billion people by 2083, according to the United

Nations, freer exchanges of food and other goods are essential to survival for many. Canada, with its high relative ratio of resources and land to people, is well situated to become a key solution to this worldwide problem. As well, with WTO discussions at a standstill, Canada must strike deals with individual countries whenever it can or risk falling behind other countries with ambitious trade agendas. Skeptics have rightly pointed out that more transparency during the negotiation stages would be appropriate so that farmers and other interested parties can see exactly what is being lost and gained. However, at least for now, the government’s continued attention to trade is a positive sign. No matter where our trade routes lead us, the U.S. will remain our core partner for the foreseeable future, but it doesn’t hurt to have insurance. We’ve seen politics upset the U.S. trade agenda in the past, such as the job creation bill of a few years ago that left Canadian companies unable to bid for U.S. contracts, despite NAFTA arrangements. As well, we have heard ominous warnings that farmers in North Dakota and Montana could become unsettled if they see long lines of grain trucks with Canadian licence plates lined up at U.S. elevators. Yet we should not put trade before all other interests. U.S. and New Zealand demands that Canada drop supply management in the dairy and poultry industries in exchange for a seat at the TransPacific talks are not to be taken seriously. Did the U.S. give up its market loan guarantees, biofuel subsidies or other programs before it sat down at the table? Canada should not give up one of its most stable and beneficial farm programs before it even gets to the discussion room. That message must be delivered loud and clear.

AGRICULTURE RESEARCH | NUMBER CRUNCHING

Disgruntled researchers need to put money comparison where their mouth is NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

wise scientist once remarked that the important moments in his laboratory were not when an experiment produced a result he expected and that confirmed his scientific thesis. It was when the results came back and he thought, “that can’t be right.” The history of invention, of exploration, of scientific advancement has always depended on someone mus-

ing, I wonder what would happen if I did this? Nineteenth century Austrian scientist and monk Gregor Mendel would not have discovered the rudimentary threads of modern genetics if he had not mucked around in his pea garden over the years looking for — who knows what — and discovered the transmission of traits between generations. University researchers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba likely would not have discovered the benefits of converting rapeseed to canola if there had not been long-term money to conduct “what if” research. So this leads to the current perplexing debate about the state of agricultural research funding in Canada. A persistent lobby of farm groups, scientists and academics insists that

current government funding levels for basic long-term research have never recovered from Liberal cuts in 1995. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz insists they are wrong. “We’ve gone back and analyzed our research,” he said after the recent federal budget that suggested more research and science cuts. “There’s concern that we’re not spending as much. We certainly are. We’re outspending 1994 levels even with inflation figured in.” His critics snort at the suggestion, but here’s the kicker: neither side can or does provide the numbers to back up their case. Ritz repeats the statement without supporting numbers and past calls to Agriculture Canada produce the explanation that because the defini-

tion of research has changed, it is impossible to compare 1994 spending with 2012. Critics more or less accept that assertion. “There’s no data to support (the claim of under-funding compared to 1994), but certainly the stories we hear from people in the know is that it hasn’t returned to where it once was,” University of Guelph professor John Cranfield said at an Ottawa conference last week. How can it be that there is not comparable data? Any farmer worth his or her recordkeeping salt would be able to delve into the files and compare expenditures on inputs in 1994 compared to 2011. How is it possible that the federal government, with financial records

that go back to 1867, cannot produce a comparison about how much public money was invested in long-term research in 1994 compared to now? If the current government attitude is that short-term product-oriented research is as important as “what if” research, then they should say that and produce the numbers breakdown. If the critics really believe that is shortsighted and a roadmap to falling behind, they should crunch the numbers and make the argument. The numbers are out there. Interpretation can follow. They should square off and demand: “show me yours and I’ll show you mine.” Then the debate would become more sensible for those of us outside.

Food security relies on ag research

China trip enlightens, intrigues

BY JOHN KENNELLY AND ALASTAIR CRIBB

roducing more food with the same or fewer resources has been one of humankind’s most remarkable accomplishments. From 1950 to 1990, yield improvements in global food production enabled farmers to feed a population that doubled to 5.3 billion, with food prices declining by one percent per year during that time. But since 1990, the rate of yield improvements has slowed in most countries, including Canada. This pervasive slowdown is reflected in record high food prices and elevated concerns about food security. If we don’t reverse that trend, we’re in trouble. In the next 40 years, world food demand is expected to double again. With climate change, new crop varieties are needed that can adapt to changing weather patterns and resist invasive plants, insects and disease. R i s i n g i n c o m e s a l s o i n c re a s e demand for livestock products and non-food bioproducts. Meeting these needs without destroying the Earth’s resource base depends on growth in agricultural productivity and efficiency. To help meet these challenges, Canada must invest more in agricultural and food research, which is the principal source of new technologies, environmental efficiencies, yield growth and nutritionally superior food. Studies show that investments in agricultural and food research have high internal rates of return and create benefits that generally exceed

Canada needs to invest in agricultural research to increase productivity to meet global food demands. | FILE PHOTO costs by 10 to one or more. Such investment can come from three sources: the public, through taxes; the producers, through commodity levies or checkoffs; and the private sector, through product sales levies. What’s needed is a holistic approach encompassing all three sources, as has been used effectively in Australia, where wheat research investment is now four times higher than in Canada. Public funding is ideally suited to research with inadequate producer and private funding and to situations where the benefits of research go well beyond a specific product. However, while the return on publicly funded research is high, this type

of investment must always compete with other uses of treasury funds. Private investment has been a powerful tool to improve yields when firms can capture the value of their research through intellectual property rights (IPRs), such as has occurred with advances in proprietary poultry and hog genetics. In North American hybrid and biotech crops with patent protections have stimulated a great deal of private research. With IPRs, producers pay 10 percent of their expected gross income each year for the latest seed varieties. In turn, companies reinvest about 10 percent of their seed sale revenue into research. The results have been rapid im-

provement in crop performance and widespread producer adoption of these crops. However, there has been limited private investment and generally slower yield gains in non-biotech and non-hybrid crops where IPRs are weaker, such as wheat, barley, oats, lentils, peas and flax. Producer-funded research plays an important role for livestock and some crops. Levies are collected on farm product sales and then reinvested in research by producermanaged boards. Unfortunately, most Canadian research checkoffs are set at levels far too low to provide adequate industry-driven research funding. The social imperative to invest in improving the world’s food production capacity in a sustainable way is clear. We need greater long-term public funding commitments to plant, animal and food research, a modern investment climate for private firms to benefit from their own research, and enhancements to increase use of the producer-controlled check-off funding model. Canada can “do well by doing good” through increased research investment : creating economic benefits at home while helping to address food security challenges.

SPRING | OUTLOOK

New season brings opportunities, optimism HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

pring has sprung with gophers, crocuses and late-s e ason snowstorms. The geese are back and spring auction sales are ramping up. Despite all the usual harbingers, there are many unique aspects to spring 2012. Those baby calves frolicking in the sun are worth more money than ever before, meaning producers can justify more veterinary expense in the event of a calving problem. As usual, seed cleaners are still running, finishing up the last of the spring planting needs, but more seed than ever will be canola purchased from suppliers in bags.

A high proportion of last year’s unseeded land will go into the oilseed. In the traditional canolagrowing regions, producers will continue to squeeze their rotations. And acreage will continue to expand in non-traditional growing areas. With old crop at $14 a bushel and higher and with new crop in the range of $12.50, the only question is how big the record acreage will be. July on the Prairies will feature more yellow fields than ever before. Canola needs lots of nitrogen and sulfur. Indications point to the potential for rising fertilizer prices, particularly for urea. Many producers have locked in their fertilizer supply and are busy trucking it home to the farm. The wind blows every spring, but this year it’s producing more soil erosion than usual in southeastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In many cases, producers have tilled the land they were unable to seed last spring and that has made the soil more erosion prone. Before the widespread adoption of direct seeding, ugly black dust

storms were an all too regular occurrence at this time of year. Thankfully, that is no longer a normal springtime ritual. The most analyzed change this spring is the newfound marketing freedom for wheat, durum and barley. The major grain companies have new crop contracts available, sparking a brand new topic of discussion among producers. The blockbuster deal involving Viterra, Glencore, Richardson and Agrium is a major change in the landscape. The CWB has officially launched its pooling and cash pricing programs for the new crop year, but so far has handling agreements only with Cargill and South West Terminal at Gull Lake, Sask., an inland terminal in which Cargill is a minority shareholder. CWB officials continue to predict handling agreements with all the major grain companies, and they continue to make those agreements sound imminent. Unfortunately, it’s taking a lot longer than initially forecast, which is adding uncertainty to

the marketing picture and the CWB’s ongoing role. Without more handling agreements, the CWB will not be a viable option for most producers. The spring of 2012 will also be remembered for a significant spike in land prices and cash rental rates. It’s a topic of discussion everywhere you travel, as growers share the latest stories about who has bought or rented and at what price. Should you buy more land before the price goes even higher or should you sell before the market drops? How can you acquire more land so the operation can support the next generation on the farm? Are the current values sustainable? Spring is always a special time in the production cycle. It’s especially exciting when there’s such a strong potential for profit. For a lot of farming operations and for the industry as a whole, the spring of 2012 will be remembered as a turning point. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BARB GLEN, LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

hina’s national bird is the crane. Not the feathered kind. The industrial kind. It is said that 80 percent of the world’s cranes are working in China, and having just returned from there, I believe it. One can stand on a street corner in Shanghai, Xi’an or Beijing and lose count of the cranes busily erecting office buildings and residential high rises. The rate of development is astonishing, as is the traffic and the massive population. “You have to see it to believe it,” said one man in our tour group, which consisted primarily of farmers. What did we expect? Pigtails and “pajamas,” as in old Bonanza episodes? Well, no. But the level of industry proves the many reports, including those in the Western Producer, that speak of China’s growth and population migration to cities. The country is a powerhouse, an economic engine churning out massive amounts of goods and the need for goods. Canadian farmers eye increased trade with China, so a word about the food is appropriate. As our group sat down to one of many dinners with unidentifiable dishes on a lazy susan, there was relatively little meat. Bits of beef, chicken, pork and other things are prepared in sauces, along with vegetables, soups and fish. Beef producers expecting to favour the country with big AAA steaks should rethink their strategy. One suspects the average Chinese diner would pale at the sight of a large T-bone, just as we looked askance at various fungal and bean curd dishes. On another note, the government is a palpable presence in China. Buildings shout it and guides make constant reference to it. The Three Gorges Dam has improved lives for everyone, we were told, with jobs and development. Such is the official story. Though beneficial in many ways, there was scant mention of the dam’s effect on 1.3 million people who were displaced. Similarly, a query about 1989 events in Tiananmen Square yielded a simple “we are not supposed to talk about that” from tour guides. It’s China’s contrasts that impress: ancient culture, modern development; big food production, small farms; the glitz of five-star hotels next to laundered underwear waving on clotheslines. If you have a chance to see China, take it. SEE MORE ON THE THREE GORGES DAM ON PAGES 94-95.

For two broadcasts, the CBC radio mentioned something about Viterra cutting its ties to the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. The news item continued for the rest of the day but that line was missing. Perhaps someone told them that Viterra once was the SWP. My reason for writing, however, was the recent guilt trip Viterra invented to pull on holders of common shares in Viterra. It’s been a little joke among a few of us when we pull our Viterra shareholder cheques out of our mailboxes that I, a very small landowner, will receive a 75 cent cheque while the larger landowners receive 15 cent

cheques. Some weeks ago we began to see on bulletin boards or to receive in the mail the suggestion from Viterra that we holders of common shares donate them to Telemiracle. Well, who could say no? Only really nasty people, right? I wrote to ask Viterra if they had suggested to all their holders of preferred shares that they turn all their shares over to Telemiracle. Could it be that Viterra didn’t want the expense of say, over $20, to send out each one of those itty bitty cheques? I did not turn over my shares. Call me nasty. Does it really matter if Cargill gets into bed with the Conservative Wheat Board? Was Viterra really Canadian? Who owns all those preferred shares?

It’s too late for the peasants, or so it seems at present. At the end of Kevin Hursh’s March 8 column he wrote, “An interesting experiment is about to begin.” And guess who will be the lab rats. C. D. Pike, Waseca, Sask.

the party. Their immediate denial and intimation that they were made by the other parties is just the first step. Once they are caught dead to rights, their immediate reaction will be to finger some poor little clerk in the organization and throw him to the wolves. Then they will be free to be very self-righteous and claim they were unaware, and grovel begging forgiveness, with the hope that makes everything right and we will go on as before. This perfidy should not be allowed to happen, and the true guilty parties must be made to answer to Canadians for their crimes. Unless that happens, the disdain that the rank and file feel toward elections will only get worse. It must be resolved properly to safeguard our democracy. We can only hope the sacrificial lamb will have the intestinal fortitude to fight back. Jean H. Sloan, Lloydminster, Sask.

PROPERTY RIGHTS To the Editor: As we go to an election in Alberta, I wanted to comment on power lines and property rights. Our government has decreed the Bill 50 power lines should be built. Let’s be clear. The people are expected to pay the entire capital cost plus nine percent interest over 30 or 40 years. The money is coming from Alta-Link, owned by Lavalin. The government wants to make the payments smaller for the first few years so the bills won’t jump up so greatly right away. Pay-interest-only deal, but you don’t own the lines. AltaLink Lavalin does, for the purpose of transmitting power and making money for Lavalin. The role of the people is only to guarantee the principle. In Alberta, there has been a campaign of front-page newspaper picture ads promoting power lines by Alta-Link and Atco. These picture ads are altered and generic. These ads are misleading at best and are intellectually dishonest. This is the reality. Typical towers are 88 metres tall, with a dead zone of 200 metres on each side of the line, about 38 acres per quarter. The only use for the dead zone is agriculture, crops or pasture. Any houses or yards are to be gone. Too bad, take us to court. The constitution of Canada does not enshrine property rights to any great extent. Property rights are a provincial jurisdiction. This is why you have these periodic bumps in property rights when some radical hotshot provincial minister decides to revamp the laws. Dave Barrett enacted the B.C. Land Reserve Act. Bump. Ted Morton and Bill 36. This is a poor system. Ted’s legislation is why we see minister McQueen running the manure spreader full time trying to clean up the pile. Please friends and neighbours, not only in Alberta, these things are too important to ignore. Question your candidate, get to know your MLA. In Alberta, we have elected MLAs who do not know about property rights or power lines, and who pass bad legislation. Leo Bishop, Airdrie, Alta.

OPINION PILE OF DEBT To the Editor: You might not realize it, but thanks to Greg Selingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NDP, every Manitoban is walking around with an extra $20,772 on their pile of debt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not from an extended Christmas shopping binge. This is the amount every single Manitoban now owes as their share of Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $26 billion provincial debt. Greg Selingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NDP is on course to add $2.18 billion to Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial debt this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; money Manitoba families will have to pay back in the form of increased taxes, cuts to frontline services, or both. The debt is increasing partly because Greg Selinger is on track to run a deficit of over $1 billion this year. This is on top of deficits of $298 million last year and $200 million the year before.

Just think about it: each family of four in Manitoba now owes over $83,088 through the provincial government, on top of their own credit cards, mortgages, student loans and lines of credit.Â Selinger has tried to blame everyone and everything else for his mismanagement. He has blamed Mother Nature, pointing the finger at the flood of 2011. This was a serious flood, but spending on the flood comprises only a small part of Selingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record deficit. He has tried to attack the federal government for a lack of support, even though Manitoba has received a record $35 billion from the federal government since 1999.Â Â The NDP say they will balance the budget by 2014. They have never once considered a review of their spending practices. They refuse to take measures that could improve our economic performance, such as

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | APRIL 12, 2012

cutting red tape or joining the New West Partnership. With a deficit in excess of $1 billion right now, the only way the NDP will balance the budget is by raising taxes.Â Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for Manitobans to tell this NDP government enough is enough. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt will be tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxes, and that day is fast approaching â&#x20AC;&#x201D; April 17.Â Heather Stefanson, Man. P.C. Finance Critic, Winnipeg, Man.

RENAME CWB To the Editor: It seems anti-CWB monopoly producers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real happy post-CWB monopoly. The choice, as in marketing choice, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there for them yet. And then there are the grain com-

panies. Their contracts are confusing and lopsided to give the companies an advantage. There are few options for different grades and protein levels. Handling costs are vague. Freight rates are vague. And even if companies are competing against each other, why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they have a one-form-fits-all contract system? Hearing their frustrations is certainly good for a laugh. What do they expect? Surely they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the new organization that is going to give them choice will be the same as the CWB monopoly that gave farmers the advantage. Then sobering reality returned. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dragged into the same pit under our â&#x20AC;&#x153;new democracy.â&#x20AC;? Until the powers that be unveil the details of the new organization, we have no idea what to expect. While they are at it, they should get their own name. I would like to see the CWB

name reserved for the monopoly, as the new organization has changed direction and is no longer farmer controlled. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned that, by the time the government is finished with what was a farmer-controlled organization, it and farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money will go the same way as the now defunct Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. Because the CWB monopoly and the new organization are both referred to as the CWB, but in reality canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the same, perhaps the new kid on the block could be renamed the COB, Canadian Open Board. It is annoying having to figure out which organization is being referred to. Unfortunately, Mr. Ritz and his followers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, have a plan, let alone the â&#x20AC;&#x153;choiceâ&#x20AC;? plan, in place before eliminating a system that works for farmers.

hat does the baby boomer generation mean to your community? Is it a bulge that leads to indigestion or a bulge that becomes an opportunity? Until recently, seniors in small communities have been quietly there: some requiring the services of home care and others gathering for coffee and to recount the business of the past 24 hours. Now the demographics have expanded to include those 60-plus who are recently retired, moving to a place where they can live more cheaply and are trying to cope with the new venture of how to face the next 20 to 30 years. If there are too many, they can overwhelm the more settled routine of a rural community. If they appear willing, locals try to rope them into becoming volunteers (without warning them they have many local expectations). It is important to recognize the unique circumstances these newly minted pensioners face. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stepped over a threshold into a new way of being. If they have savings, they have a new freedom to travel and indulge in their dreams. Health restrictions may start to be relevant. The imminence of facing mortality may become more real. They have to attend the funerals of more friends and help coach griefstricken spouses. Where do they turn for support and help? The church is expected to be an important source of spiritual nurture, but have our churches kept up with these new demands? Are notyet-retired clergy and church leaders ready to find ways to support this big element in our society? Are we prepared to listen to show compassion and foster a nurturing society?

SCIENCE | BEEKEEPING

Link found between insecticides, colony loss Study stirs controversy | Bayer Crop Science denounces findings as ‘spectacularly incorrect’ BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Many people decided to spend part of the Easter weekend outdoors to check out deals at the Rinker Farm and Ranches auction near Bindloss, Alta., April 7. | PAULA LARSON PHOTO

BY HARVEST HIS KIDNEYS COULD FAIL.

Three scientific studies in the past two weeks have directly blamed insecticides for collapsing bee populations, providing fuel for activists and politicians who would like to restrict pesticide use. In the most recent study, Harvard School of Public Health researchers found a “convincing” link between insecticides and colony collapse disorder (CCD), a term used to describe mysterious losses of 30 to 90 percent in commercial beekeeping operations. In 2010, the Harvard scientists dosed hives with varying levels of imidacloprid, a Bayer Crop Science neonicotinoid insecticide registered for use on more than 140 crops in 120 countries. Six months later, 15 out of 16 hives dosed with the insecticide had died and the bees exposed to the highest levels of imidacloprid died first. The dead hives resembled the symptoms associated with CCD: empty except for food stores, pollen and young bees. Based on that evidence, the study concluded that insecticides such as imidacloprid are a significant factor behind CCD. It is expected to be published in the Bulletin of Insectology in June. Bayer Crop Science vigorously denounced the study April 5. “Although the study claims to have established a link between imidacloprid and bee colony collapse, the

symptoms observed in the study bees are not consistent with, or even remotely similar to, those of colony collapse disorder,” Bayer said in a news release. “As such, the authors’ claims that their study explains the causes of CCD are spectacularly incorrect.” Bayer also said the study’s authors ignored the consensus among entomologists that colony collapse is caused by multiple factors, including varroa mites, disease, inadequate nutrition and loss of genetic diversity. The Harvard study, which was widely reported in the media, comes on the heels of bee and insecticide research published in March from studies in Britain and France. The British study, published in Science, indicated that bumblebee colonies treated with imidacloprid produced 85 percent fewer queens than an untreated colony, thus limiting the colony’s ability to reproduce. In the French study, researchers dosed honeybees with thiamethoxam, a seed treatment insecticide that Syngenta sells under the brand name Cruiser. The French scientists concluded the insecticide interfered with the bees’ homing instinct because bees treated with thiamethoxam were two to three times more likely to die away from the hive. Aside from generating worldwide press, the European research also caught the attention of policy makers. France’s agriculture ministry has asked the country’s environmental agency to study the possibility of revoking Cruiser’s approval, according to Bloomberg. A British MP, albeit from the Green Party, has asked the government to immediately ban neonicotinoids based on the Harvard results and the studies from Britain and France.

DID YOU KNOW … • Worker bees collect 30 kilograms of pollen per year, per hive. Bee pollen contains up to 35 percent protein, as well as various vitamins and minerals. • There are several types, colours and flavours of honey, depending upon its nectar source, but all honey is a product of regurgitation. • Bees secrete flakes of beeswax from four glands on the underside of their abdomens to build honeycombs. Scientists think honeycomb cells are hexagonal in shape because it requires the least material to create a lattice of cells within a given volume.

BUT HE WON’T KNOW UNTIL SPRING.

WE CAN DO BETTER. Having a new digital electron microscope for the province at St. Paul’s Hospital could provide those results in just one week. Help us raise $1.4 million to bring this equipment home to advance diagnoses for kidney, cardiac and neurological illnesses.

• Propolis, a sticky resin collected from trees by honeybees, is mixed with wax to make a sticky glue that the bees use to seal cracks and repair their hive. • Royal jelly is a milky substance fed to a developing bee larvae to turn it into a queen bee. Royal jelly is made of digested pollen and honey or nectar, mixed with a chemical secreted from a gland in a nursing bee’s head. Each hive has only one queen, which can live for three to five years and can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day. Source: www.backyardbeekeepers.com

DISEASE RESEARCH | VACCINES

Scientist recognized for medical research Researcher praised for vaccine development BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Lorne Babiuk hopes to see polio and measles eradicated in his lifetime. The University of Alberta scientist is a leading researcher in infectious diseases and vaccine development. He credits modern medicine with eradicating small pox that once killed millions. He hopes to see similar successes with other common diseases plaguing humans and animals. In recognition of his work, Babiuk recently received the Gairdner Award, a prestigious international award for research in medical science. The award includes a gift of $100,000. “Vaccination seemed like the most effective way to reduce the economic losses as well as the pain and suffering from infectious diseases,” Babiuk said. “Historically, vaccines have been the most cost effective way of controlling infectious diseases of all other therapies combined.” As a farm boy growing up at Canora, Sask., he witnessed the damage caused by brucellosis and tuberculo-

sis in Canadian cattle. Vaccination, testing and culling positive animals eradicated the diseases in Canada. Babiuk is considered a leading researcher in vaccine development and infectious diseases, particularly zoonotic diseases passed between animals and humans. He also helped develop the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) in Saskatoon, affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan. He joined the University of Alberta in 2007 and helped establish the Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology. He oversaw the fundraising and design of InterVac at VIDO, a $140 million Level 3 biocontainment facility that is the largest of its kind in Canada. This facility opened last fall and has enabled researchers to work on highly infectious agents such as H1N1 influenza. Babiuk does not spend much time in the laborator y anymore but remains passionate about the benefits of immunization. Common diseases still exist among humans and animals, but researchers are finding better ways to deliver vaccines and reduce the need for antibiotics. A breakthrough came

It is often easier to inject an animal held in a chute, but sending the vaccine up an animal’s nose provides direct protection at the site of the infection. This form of vaccination is also being given to children. It is especially useful in the developing world, where a shortage of needles often means they are reused, spreading disease even further. Under development is a more effective one dose whooping cough vaccine. The recommended dosage is five in North America, but getting children to return for boosters is difficult. Babiuk is also a champion against those who oppose vaccination because they think it causes autism. “That has been proven over and over again that it does not cause autism,” he said. Others believe in herd immunity,

claiming if others are vaccinated there should be enough protection for all. “They are wrong and they are putting their children at risk,” he said. “Vaccines are not perfect. They may cause your arm to be a little bit sore, but would you rather have a sore arm than get the disease and die from it or be crippled for the rest of your life?” On the livestock side, Babiuk was involved in the development of a vaccine against E. coli for cattle to prevent them from passing it in their manure. The cattle are not troubled with the bacteria, but people infected with E. coli may become seriously ill or die. The future includes genetically modified vaccines and vaccines with b e t t e r a d j u v e n t s t h a t w o rk a s immune stimulants to broaden the response against disease.

tion on a global scale against zoonotic disease. He is working with African scientists on Rift Valley fever spread by mosquitoes. A potentially fatal disease, it is not found in North America yet but could appear due to global travel and climate change. “It may not come, but we want to be prepared if it comes,” he said. Babiuk moves between human and livestock medicine at the university because disease agents know no boundaries. “Those two fields are seamless because over 70 percent of the new diseases are transmitted from animals to humans,” he said. “We have good examples of H1N1 came from humans and we have evidence it was transmitted to pigs. These infectious agents are extremely brilliant. They are nomadic and they select whoever they want.”

HOGS | MANITOBA LEGISLATION

Relationship warms between hog farmers, government Moratorium remains | Despite restrictions, the Manitoba Pork Council is in good spirits BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The poisonous relations between Manitoba pig farmers and the provincial government are becoming less toxic, according to the chair of the Manitoba Pork Council. And while the government is not offering to alleviate any of the legislative and regulatory restrictions it has imposed in recent years, it has been signalling that it is willing to talk to and work with farmers. “We’re probably at the best working relationship that we’ve had with government in the last quite a few years,” Karl Kynoch said at pork council’s annual meeting. “We’ve had a lot of very good meetings lately.” Hog farmers have been anxiously watching the government’s behaviour since last year’s provincial election, after it targeted them in the run-up to the campaign. The government extended a hog barn construction moratorium across the entire province, regardless of regional phosphorus levels, which prevented producers from moving from areas with too-high

Manitoba producers hope agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn will understand concerns and support the hog sector. | phosphorus levels to areas in which crop farmers require phosphorus fertilizers. However, no new major regulations or pieces of legislation have been announced since the election, and Kynoch said premier Greg Selinger, new agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn and other ministers and government officials have been willing to meet with farmer representatives to discuss industry issues. A few hours after Kynoch spoke, Kostyshyn attended the pork council’s banquet and offered greetings from the provincial government, something that increased the feeling among farmers that the icy relationship between industry and government might be thawing. Manitoba’s hog industry is generally in good spirits, with farmers having found ways to live within the confines of U.S. country-of-origin labelling, a high Canadian dollar,

weak consumer economies in the United States and Eastern Canada and the combination of moratoriums and new phosphorus regulations. The last few years have placed incredible strain on the industry in Manitoba, with only 500 farmers left in the business. However, they still produce enough pigs to support two full shifts at the Maple Leaf Foods slaughter plant in Brandon, which employs 2,300 people, as well as the slaughter plant in Neepawa. While the imposition of COOL severely interrupted the flow of pigs from Manitoba to the U.S. Midwest, farmers have formed new relationships and still exported 3.1 million weanlings and 400,000 slaughter hogs in 2011. For most producers, the greatest long-term threat to the industry has come from its relations with the provincial government, which many

farmers have felt disliked the very existence of the modern industry and was trying to find ways to cripple it. The pork council has relentlessly operated public relations campaigns to swing public support over to the industry’s side, after seeing it become unpopular in many quarters during the 2000s. Kynoch said the campaigning will continue and won’t change its core message. “It’s back to educate, educate, educate and you just have to keep pounding those messages because when you’re getting sick and tired of telling that message, they’re just starting to get it,” said Kynoch. The pork council ran full page advertisements in the Winnipeg Free Press during the election campaign that highlighted its support from many farming, business and industry groups. After the election, the

FILE PHOTO

NDP-affiliated mayor of Brandon publicly discussed her anxiety over a possible shrinkage of the Manitoba hog industry because the Maple Leaf slaughter plant is the city’s biggest employer. Kynoch sounded relieved and optimistic about improving relations between the government and the industry, but noted that none of the restrictions placed on the industry are likely to be removed. “One thing that the government has stated to us, has made it very clear, the moratorium is here to stay. The moratorium will not be lifted. It will stay in place,” said Kynoch. Yet he said progress is possible within the restrictive system, and a lot of expectations rest on Kostyshyn. “We actually have an agriculture minister that has an agriculture background. I think that’ll go a long ways,” said Kynoch. “(We’re) putting a lot of hope on this going forward.”

OATS RESEARCH | MARKETING

Oat promotion plan targets equine diets Demand from horse feed market rebounding BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A prairie oat initiative is about to enter its next phase. The Prairie Oat Growers Association started the Equine Feed Oat Project as a way to increase demand in American horse markets for Canadian-grown oats, and EFOP co-ordinator Randy Strychar said the industry is beginning to see a turnaround. Efforts had focused on examining why exports declined, but project organizers are now identifying areas for new research, while also gearing up to market oats to horse owners. The project started in 2009 with a problem: oat exports to the U.S. horse feed market had fallen dramatically over a generation, from more than one million tonnes in the early 1990s to 200,000. Oats, which traditionally had a larger role in horse diets, had fallen out of favour. However, Strychar said the numbers have improved. “We’ve seen a significant increase, almost a doubling of demand in equine markets over the last 12 months in the U.S,” he said. “I think year to date from August through the end of February, we went from about 92,000 (tonnes) to about 180-some thousand this year.” He attributes that to a drop in oat prices, but notes that’s only one part the picture. “We’ve seen a significant shift in the way people are looking at formulations in the United States,” he said. “The demand in equine markets, it’s got a lot of various components to it.... It’s not straight forward price.” Strychar has travelled to the U.S. to speak with owners, nutritionists and

feed companies in an effort to better understand why the market collapsed. “I think you’re seeing a move away from reducing starch, whether it was oats or corn or barley or rice bran,” he said. “There was a big movement throughout most of the 2000s to reduce starch.” The initiative included eight focus group meetings with horse owners, some who were using oats in their feed rations and some who weren’t. He said the exercise found that owners don’t know enough about what’s in their feed. Feed companies also need more information, he added. “I think there’s been a misuse and a misapplication of the science that’s out there and there’s an appalling lack of science on a lot of equine nutrition,” he said. EFOP’s research advisory board will meet in the coming months. Consisting of 23 industry members, it will provide direction on where POGA will funnel research money. Strychar said a previous meeting of equine nutritionists, breeders and millers identified beta glucan, antioxidant, fat and protein levels as areas of interest. “We’re not putting a dollar value on it,” said Strychar. “What we’re trying to do is get the objective completed, so I guess what it takes.” Strychar said organizers have also mapped out a strategy that they intend to use to tout the benefits of POGA products and spread the word of its research. “Can we get back to 1.1 million? Sure we can,” he said. “If the plant breeders and the nutritionists do their job ... two million is probably achievable.”

Group touts Growth to include smaller assets: ADM nutritional qualities of feed oats BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Organizers of the Equine Feed Oat Project have a message for U.S. horse owners: oats isn’t a four-letter word. The Prairie Oat Growers Association initiative will use science to defend and promote the grain to horse owners as part of an ongoing effort to rebuild oat exports to the United States. POGA commissioned Laurie Lawrence, an equine nutritionist at the University of Kentucky, to review existing research into oats, other grains and equine nutrition.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Archer Daniels Midland will continue to eye acquisitions of smaller assets in North America to expand its reach in the agricultural sector, while large acquisitions may be less likely. “Other than one-off deals, we can’t really grow too much in North America,” said A. James Shafter, vice-president of mergers and acquisitions. “We’ll always do one-off deals. Elevator assets, transportation assets, if it’s in our sector, we’ll look at it.” ADM’s recent merger and acquisition deals include numerous grain elevators in the United States and Europe and a partnership with Missouri-based Prairie Pride, a soybean processor and biodiesel producer.

We’ll always do one-off deals. Elevator assets, transportation assets, if it’s in our sector, we’ll look at it. A. JAMES SHAFTER

ARCHER DANIELS MIDLAND

The agricultural sector is in the midst of the largest wave of consolidation since the 1990s, highlighted by a recent mega-deal that saw Swiss-based commodities trader Glencore International buy Viterra, Canada’s largest grain handler, for $6.2 billion.

ADM did not submit a final bid for Viterra after deciding that the cost of the acquisition would not meet its return objectives. U.S. grain company Gavilon could be the next major player on the agribusiness auction block in a deal that is expected to attract not only grain companies seeking to expand their U.S. footprint but also newer investors in the agricultural sphere. Investors such as sovereign wealth funds, endowments and pension plans have been drawn to agricultural investments over the past decade amid the promise of strong returns as global demand for food grows. However, the emergence of the broader range of investors plying for

assets such as grain elevators, ethanol plants and rail car loading facilities further underscores the need for grain companies such as ADM to remain disciplined in their acquisitions as the competition stiffens, Shafter said. “Five or 10 years ago, we’d never see these financial players showing up. There’s just been an explosion in agriculture and there’s going to become, I believe, a scarcity of assets and we’re going to see more and more consolidation,” Shafter said. “Companies have got to be smart and they need to know where they’re going to go and they have to be able to react very quickly and decide what deals they want to pursue.”

“A farmers’ business alliance is a crazy idea.” That’s what critics have said over the years. But thanks to the dedication and persistence of farmers just like you, we’ve proven that statement to be false.

“No one can take on the chemical industry giants.” We can. We did. We broke monopoly pricing on glyphosate, taking prices from $9/L to as low as $2. We saved growers $60 million in 30 days by taking down pricing on Horizon and Horizon-like products. We did it again on Puma and Pursuit-like products. Crazy? RANDY STRYCHAR EQUINE FEED OAT PROJECT

“Basically, what she did is she found that we don’t have a problem with oats,” EFOP co-ordinator Randy Strychar said of the review, which was published last year and examined 260 documents. Lawrence said in an interview that oats can bring superior characteristics to feed rations: starch from oats is more efficiently used, they feature a better ratio of fatty acids and they have a higher quality protein than corn. “They have a lot of already preexisting desirable characteristics, but they’re more expensive, so what you have to do is create the desire in the mind of the consumer that they’re willing to pay more because they perceive it as a higher quality product,” she said. “I think that the message that was lost 20 years ago was that there is a difference between oats and corn as far as a feed ingredient goes.” The project organizers are interested in colic, a leading cause of death in horses. They can’t say that oat consumption will prevent colic from developing within the animal, but Lawrence said oats can be expected to be less harmful to the digestive track than corn. “All starch is not the same,” she said. “Anybody, if you’ve ever tried to take cornstarch and mix it with water to make gravy, you know that it gets lumpy and it doesn’t mix very well. So corn starch, because of it’s physical structure, is not as easy for the horse to digest as oat starch.” Lawrence said horses receive more energy from oats because they can digest its starch more completely. As a result, less starch makes it down into the horse’s large intestine, which is where problems such as colic develop. “What we are going to market directly to the equine owners is the benefits of oats and that they are natural, healthy and safe and the science supports that,” said Strychar.

“Big livestock pharmaceuticals will crush you.” They tried. They lost. They even had us kicked out of a farm organization tradeshow. We still drove down the price of ivermectin from over $400 per jug to less than fifty bucks. Now we work with one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the industry to provide competitively priced, quality animal health solutions for our Members. Crazy?

“Fertilizer companies can do what they want. A bunch of farmers doesn’t stand a chance.” We stood. We won. When the domestic industry decided the sky’s the limit on what they can get from farmers, we helped find an international supplier, put fertilizer on a boat, shipped it across an ocean to the Port of Churchill, and delivered it to the farm. Crazy?

“It’s crazy to think farmers can be organized on business principles into a business mission.” 10,000 of us have done it. Right across Canada. We’ve organized into a business alliance called Farmers of North America. And we’re changing the future of farming. Sure, we’ve had growing pains. Taking on huge logistics challenges and securing supply chains, we’ve had some slips. But we’ve pulled it off. Sure, there’s lots more to do. We’ve got to get a permanent solution to fertilizer and seed, and we need to maximize opportunities for farmers in the new grain marketing reality. So we’ve created a task force that is consulting growers to find ways for them to participate in the profits in these sectors. We’ve gone big and won big before. Crazy?

If not crazy, then not neccessary? “We don’t need a business alliance because farm prices are up.” Consider this. Forget about history that proves most of the increased revenues will be diverted off the farm to international shareholders. Pretend that it is not going to happen again. Think about your farm as a business. You have capital, labour, land and management all invested in that business. From all that investment you deserve to earn returns at least comparable to other industries. When an input supplier reports a 200% increase in quarterly profits, you should not be happy with only a fraction of that. The suppliers have entire departments of people planning how to get a bigger share of the value created by your products. FNA is your department to do the same for your farm.

WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Pigs that might have become the world’s first g e n e t i c a l l y m o d i f i e d a n i ma l s approved for human consumption may instead face an untimely end, as key backers of Canada’s Enviropig project withdrew their support for the engineered animal. Scientists at the University of Guelph bred the first GM pig that was developed to address an environmental problem in 1999. The animal, known as Enviropig, digests its feed more efficiently than naturally bred pigs, resulting in waste that may cause less environmental damage to lakes and rivers. The project has produced eight generations of Enviropigs, including the current herd of 16 animals. But they may be the last of their kind, after Ontario Pork, an association of hog farmers, yanked their funding last month. “We think we took the genetic research as far as it could possibly go,” said Keith Robbins, spokesperson for Ontario Pork, which funded Enviropig with more than $1 million since the late 1990s. “It’s probably best for industry to take it forward. When you’re the first of anything, it’s tough to get it out of the gate.” Genetically modified plants and animals intended for human food face tough scrutiny from regulators, w ith some consumers leer y of unproven long-term health effects. “All biotech products face a daunting task of getting to market,” said Peter Phillips, a professor of public policy at University of Saskatchewan. Enviropig has not managed to attract funding from a food company that would ultimately commercialize the pigs, possibly because environmental benefit doesn’t necessarily translate into more profit, he said. Enviropig’s researchers applied several years ago for approval for human food consumption from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada. Those regulators have not made a decision. Unless the university finds a source of funding, it will euthanize the animals and place their genetic material in cold storage, said Lori Bona Hunt, a spokesperson for the University of Guelph. Research could continue without live animals, mainly through analyzing data, she said. Canadian environmental groups welcomed the setback for the Enviropig. “The GM pig was going to drive consumers away from eating pork if it was ever approved for market,” said Paul Slomp of the National Farmers Union, in a statement. “This GM pig fiasco could have permanently damaged (Canada’s) domestic and international pork markets.”

INSURANCE | LIVESTOCK

Producer learns insurance covers truck, not sheep Extra insurance required | Cost on $100,000 of livestock would cost $400 BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A southern Alberta farmer who lost 22 sheep when they were trucked to Alberta from Saskatchewan recommends livestock producers buy transit insurance before hauling livestock long distances. Bert Peeters thought livestock

insurance was included in the cost of trucking the 390 sheep 900 kilometres to Duchess, Alta., from Kelvington, Sask. “I thought I had insurance through the trucker,” said Peeters, who is now out $7,700. However, he found out that he didn’t. “I never knew that. Lots of people don’t know that.”

Glenda Erb, Peeters’ girlfriend, said they asked the original owner of the sheep, if they needed to buy extra insurance, but were told the trucker, Kelso Trucking of Rapid City, Man., had insurance. “It was my understanding he had insurance,” said the original owner, who asked not be identified. He said he now understands the insurance was just if the truck was in an accident. Kelso Trucking said there is livestock insurance when shipping from a farm to a packing plant, but not farm-to-farm. “It’s up to the buyer or seller to put insurance on,” said a man with Kelso Trucking, who did not identify himself. He said he was aware of the situation with Peeters’ sheep. The original owner said he began loading the sheep at about 4 p.m. and the truck left the yard around 7:30. The sheep were expected to arrive in Duchess about 6 a.m., but didn’t get to the farm until 2 p.m. “We were told it should take 10 to 12 hours, not 22,” said Erb, who is wondering where to look for help to recoup their losses. The original owner said the sheep were in good condition when they left his farm and were not overcrowded. “We were quite happy how they were spread out.” He said he crawled along the side of the truck to look at the sheep in the truck before left the yard. Miles Buswell, manager of the sheep and goat sales at Tofield Auction, said it is not unheard of for sheep to die in transit. The Tofield auction gives every buyer the option to purchase livestock insurance before the animals leave the auction yard. “They can buy insurance or take their chances,” said Buswell, who estimates only one in 10 buyers takes insurance. “It’s not expensive, but they figure they’ve spent enough.” Insurance is automatically added to loads leaving Tofield Auction for out of province. The Hartford insurance offered on sheep and goats at the auction market costs 40 cents per $100 of value. Insurance for Pe eters’ load of $136,500 worth of sheep would cost about $546.

MANURE MANAGEMENT | INNOVATION

Anaerobic digestion viewed as opportunity for agriculture Financial incentives lacking | Methane sales to energy grid necessary to make manure management system profitable for farmers BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

A lack of financial incentives has dampened Canadian interest in a farm-scale bio-digester designed by a Quebec company and sold around the world, says a product promoter. Elise Villeneuve, chief operating officer for Bio-Terre Inc., told the Senate agriculture committee that the system successfully removes pathogens and odour from farm manure, produces a fertilizer that can be spread with little risk of contamination and produces methane that can be an energy source. However, to make it profitable for a farmer, the methane must be sold into the energy grid, and that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen in most Canadian jurisdictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anaerobic digestion is definitely a great opportunity for the agriculture industry,â&#x20AC;? Villeneuve told senators involved in a long-term study of agricultural research and innovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a success elsewhere in the world and it is growing fast in many countries. Unfortunately in Canada, we have not picked up the pace yet for this.â&#x20AC;? Villeneuve said the patented product is used in the United States and some European countries. It was developed after engineering firms in Quebec and Manitoba created BioTerre Inc. in 1998 and spent six years testing the system on hog farms in the two provinces. By 2009, the system was breaking

SENATE | AG RESEARCH

into American farm operations. But in Canada, there is not a proper â&#x20AC;&#x153;policy contextâ&#x20AC;? to make it successful, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Countries with a successful anaerobic digestion industry rely on energy buy-back programs and policies to encourage and simplify the deployment of the systems,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers need to be encouraged and supported financially and administratively.â&#x20AC;? Villeneuve said that has not happened in Canada. She cited the example of a Vermont farm that increased its revenues to

$270,000 from $70,000 with a biodigester and a deal to sell the produced methane into the state energy grid. The state has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cow powerâ&#x20AC;? policy that requires electricity consumers to pay higher rates to support environmental use of farm waste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want to pay more because they are encouraging the practice,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are paying more on their bill, a small amount, but because of that, there are 100 farms that have digesters now and they sell to the grid.â&#x20AC;? Manitoba senator JoAnne Buth wondered why Canadian farmers

have not invested in the technology for its environmental benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are benefits, even if they are not selling to the grid, but I do not think it is worth it,â&#x20AC;? said Villeneuve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look at countries where this is successful, they have financial benefits in addition to environmental benefits. I have been in the environment business all my career and I am sorry to say that we still do not want to do environmental just to do it and pay for it unless there is a strict regulation that forces you to do it.â&#x20AC;? She said farmers need a financial reason to spend thousands of dollars

on a bio-digester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benefits are reselling the methane and potentially reselling part of the dry product of the digestate, a nutrient that can be bagged and sold, and it is creating another revenue stream for the farm.â&#x20AC;? In an interview, Villeneuve said Canadian bio-energy policy is too fixated on investment in industrial ethanol plants when incentives for on-farm projects can be as effective and provide other environmental benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think our policy should include smaller on-farm projects.â&#x20AC;?

AUSTRALIA | WINE INDUSTRY

Australian grape grower set to toast great year Quality grapes, quality wine | Shiraz grapes grow extremely well in the dry Barossa Valley of South Australia BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

STOCKWELL, Aus. — If you’ve ever tasted a bottle of premium Australian shiraz, then you’ve probably had a taste of Australia’s Barossa Valley. Blessed with rich, productive soil and ample sunshine, the Barossa Valley is one of Australia’s most renowned grape growing regions. And this year’s crop is shaping up to be a good one, says local grower Jeffrey Hoffmann. “I think we’re looking at a very

excellent vintage this year,” said Hoffmann, who has been selling grapes to local winemakers for the past 40 years. “I reckon it’s going to be a real cracker.” The Hoffmann family has been growing grapes in the Barossa Valley for more than 130 years. Jeff’s son, Adrian, has recently taken over the operation and is in charge of production and marketing. Adrian is also chair of Grape Barossa, an industry association that promotes the use of Barossa grapes in

Australian wine. The Hoffmanns’ operation, formally known as Dimchurch Vineyards, includes 300 acres in the north end of the valley and produces grenache, mataro, cabernet sauvignon and shiraz grapes. Shiraz is the king of reds in the Barossa and is known among vintners and wine connoisseurs for its rich, complex flavouring. Old-vine shiraz grapes can fetch $5,000 to $10,000 per tonne from a premium winemaker. Lower-valued grape varieties that

are used by large commercial wineries cost around $1,000 per tonne. The Hoffmanns were recently handpicking on a block of 80-year-old shiraz vines, grapes that are highly valued by quality winemakers. With few exceptions, the Hoffmanns hand-pick all of their grapes to avoid damaging the fruit and the vines. Machine picking is more common on large commercial vineyards that grow vast quantities of fruit and produce wine on an industrial scale. Young vines are generally more

productive and can often yield as much as three to four tonnes per acre. Older vines produce fewer grapes, often 1.5 to two tonnes per acre, but their fruit is generally more flavourful and commands a higher pr ice among quality vintners. “We can do very good shiraz out at this end of the valley because of our drier climate and our shallower soils,” said Hoffmann. “The vines are not so vigorous so they produce a smaller berry and fewer bunches per vine, but they are

Other grape-producing regions in Australia received too much rain throughout the growing and picking seasons so production and quality suffered in some areas. A few years ago, large commercial wineries planted enormous quantities of new vines in Australia. But when the world economy tanked in late 2008, the demand for

Australian wine in the United Sates, Europe and Asia softened, leaving a glut of inexpensive grapes on the domestic market. The market downturn affected all Australian growers, but smaller producers who sold their fruit primarily into premium domestic markets came through the downturn in better shape, said Hoffmann. “The prices right now are holding out pretty well,” he said. “In some cases, they could be a bit better, but if you’re … growing premium grapes, the prices are still holding fairly well and its still a pretty viable proposition.” Adrian, the family’s sixth generation involved in Barossa grape production, said many of Barossa’s grape

growers and vintners are trying to differentiate their products by promoting Barossa quality.

SMARTTRAX™ TOUGH. SIMPLE TO IN STALL.

That strategy appears to be working. “We’ve got a lot of premium winemakers that are chasing our fruit right now,” he said. “We’ve got some material … that’s selling for $4,500 to $5,000 a tonne so for that type of material, we’re looking at pretty good profitability.” Australian wines are facing tough competition from high quality wines that are produced in Chile and Argentina at a low cost. Adrian said Australia’s challenge is to continue to produce high quality wines at a reasonable price. “We can’t compete against (those countries) … on price so what we have to do is continue to increase our quality, punch above our weight, deliver at a reasonable price point and continue to exceed people’s expectations.” Chinese consumers, particularly those in higher income brackets, are developing a healthy appetite for Australian wines. Consumption of fine imported wine has increased over the past few years and now represents an important market for the Australian industry.

VAWN, Sask. — Boxing is in David Edwards’ blood, but being a cowboy comes first. While the 14-year-old dreams of boxing for Canada in the Olympics, he

would like nothing better than to ride the range for a community pasture. He trains his own horses and enjoys riding on his family’s 600 acre spread, tucked in beside Midnight Lake north of Glaslyn, Sask. He pays attention to his horse and nature around him, looking for deer, bear and coyotes. Part of his horse train-

ing involves swimming while riding. While his parents admire their boy, admittedly they sometimes have to wonder about him. Many have commented that young David seems older, more serious than his years, reminding them of an old soul. “I always find it amazing his passion

for horses, in cattle and animals because that doesn’t come from Terry nor I,” said Edwards’ mother, Patti. “Somehow, someway he wants that in his life when he’s an adult.… When school mates were doing a social event, he stayed home and rode his horse alone until dark.

When he comes home (from riding), you can’t keep him quiet.” Five years ago, and not enjoying his hockey experience, Edwards looked around his community for other sport opportunities. He and his parents settled on boxing at the Turtle River Boxing Club in Vawn, now in it’s 19th year. Posters of boxing legends stare down from the gym’s white walls at a crop of boxing young bloods as they shuffle, jab, hook and feign across the ring. Lightning fast feet and explosive punches have champion written all over them as Edwards spars for three two-minute rounds during a Wednesday night practice. Now in his fifth year of competition, he has the makings of a winning boxer, says Dan McCaffrey, coach and founder of the rural boxing gym. McCaffrey has helped discover and train several champions, most notably his nephew, Joey LeClaire, who was named Canadian champion, won several golden glove awards and western Canadian titles and represented Canada in Poland and Cuba. McCaffrey said that like LeClaire, Edwards has what it takes to be another Canadian champion. “It didn’t take too long after he started here that I could tell he had something in him that he probably could become a Canadian champion

He’s here all

Silage packing left intact | Slicing off thin layer reduces deterioration and breaks up hard clumps BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

RIVER HILLS, Man. — Spoilage from air in silage is one of the biggest enemies of dairy producers and small feedlot operators. However, air penetration can be avoided by giving the silage face a clean shave at every feeding, says Kara Burrell of Agromec Industries in Brandon. Pulling apart the face of a silage pile with grapples and buckets disturbs the remaining silage and opens up avenues for air to enter. The greater the disturbance, the more air enters the material and the more spoilage occurs. It’s not a problem for large feedlots, which use up their piles quickly, but it can be a significant financial loss for dairy producers and beef producers with small feedlots. However, Burrell said a relatively

small investment in the right technology can fix the problem. She said her family-owned business has a proven solution in the silage defacer bucket it imports from France. The Emily Mobile Rotor Bucket was engineered specifically to minimize pile disturbance. “The Emily defacer doesn’t push the bucket into the silage. It actually shaves off a uniform layer and tosses it into the bucket,” Burrell said. “The operator brings the bucket up to the silage face, then stops. When you start the rotor, it reaches out in an arc in front of the bucket and starts trimming off a thin layer of silage. The bucket remains in that position until it’s full.” Watching the rotor in action gives the impression that it’s spinning backward because it pulls and throws the silage over the top instead

of slinging it under the rotor. “The rotor spins backwards like that so it fills all the way to the back of the bucket,” Burrell said. “You don’t want to waste time and money driving around with a halffull bucket.” The rotor has short square knives that act on the pile like an electric shaver works on a human beard. “The benefit of this smooth face is that the packing you did last summer and fall remains intact and the silage is protected until you feed it,” she said. “We’ve had dairy farmers tell us that if their Emily defacer goes down and they have to go back to their old feeding methods, milk production deteriorates in just two days. Another benefit is that the rotor pulls apart any chunks or hard clumps. Everything that’s thrown into the bucket is fluffy and easy to

mix or feed directly.” The spinning rotor is mounted to hydraulic arms that automatically move it down the face of the pile. The gradual rate of the arms’ descent is tuned to the hydraulics of each individual tractor. It’s always set so that one pass of the rotor will equal one full bucket of silage. “There might be a certain silage load that’s heavier and puts too much strain on the system so the rotor speed slows down,” Burrell said. “If that happens, the hydraulics sense the extra pressure and the arms slow down and the rotor catches up. The rotor doesn’t fall as fast, but the rotor stays up to speed. It’s all part of the closed synchronized hydraulic system. It’s a simple system, just one hydraulic circuit and the requirement is only 50 litres per minute.” The single hydraulic motor is locat-

ed at the left, inside the rotor, to keep it out of the way. Each unit comes complete with the bucket, arms, rotor, hydraulics and connections. If the front hydraulics are not adequate to handle both the lift and motor at the same time, it’s an easy matter to hook up to a rear hydraulic circuit. The Emily Mobile Rotor Bucket is available in small sizes suitable for skid steer loaders priced at $7,000 as well as high capacity units suitable for front-end loaders and telehandlers priced at $12,000. “We can install the Mobile Rotor Bucket on any kind of front loader machine, but it’s really intended for telehandlers. That’s how it works best,” she said. For more information, visit www. agromecindustries.com. FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE 37

SPRAYING | CROWN RUST

Preventive strikes ineffective when fighting crown rust Fungicide research | Apply only when crown rust is present in field BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There’s a growing belief that foliar fungicides will increase the quality and yield of oats even if crown rust is not present. Not so fast, says William May, a crop agronomist with Agriculture Canada. May and his team from the department’s Indian Head Research Farm conducted three years of field tests in Western Canada to determine if a fungicide application can improve yield or quality in the absence of crown rust. They also tried to determine the level of crown rust infection that would justify a fungicide application and the level of crown rust changes across the Prairies. Field trials were conducted at Indian Head, Sask., Canora, Sask., Melfort, Sask., which was rust free, Saskatoon, which was inoculated with crown rust, Brandon and Portage la Prairie, Man. The results were conclusive. “If you have a cultivar that’s susceptible to crown rust, then, if the disease is developing, it’s a good idea to spray, but only if you have disease

present and developing in your crop,” he told the University of Saskatchewan’s Crops and Soils presentations March 13-14. “If you grow a cultivar that’s not susceptible to crown rust, then you don’t need a fungicide.” Crown rust is the biggest disease risk facing oats. Stem rust has more impact and more dramatic yield decreases, but resistant varieties have got it under control Disease pressure from crown rust varies from year to year, depending on the growing area and the effect of disease spores that travel north from the southern United States. Producers previously controlled the disease by planting crown rust resistant varieties, especially in Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan. “More recently, people have been using fungicides and claiming

they’re getting a big benefit from it, regardless, because some cultivars are not completely crown rust resistant. There’s also been claims that even if the disease is not present, you get good response from the fungicide,” he said. May’s advice is simple. “If you are in a crown rust area and you’re growing a cultivar with good crown rust resistance, you don’t need a fungicide and it does appear that we’re not getting a big benefit from fungicides when crow n r ust is absent,” he said. May concluded that there’s little to no return on the money with this scenario. “There’s a high probability that they’re not going to get an economic return on their investment.” Field trials involved two seeding dates: May 15 and June 5. The question for May was whether there was more pressure later on in the growing season and how that might affect things. “We also know that if you delay seeding, you usually get a reduced yield unless you get a late wet fall and all bets are off,” he said.

Field trials found the greatest benefit from fungicides occurred in cultivars most susceptible to crown rust under high levels of crown rust. | FORESTRY IMAGES. ORG PHOTO The field trials used no fungicide as well as the fungicide Headline on four varieties: • AC Morgan, very susceptible to crown rust • CDC Orin, susceptible to crown rust • CDC Boyer, partially resistant to crown rust • Leggett, which had the best possible resistance at the time of the trial The results didn’t surprise May. “If there’s no response in Leggett after applying fungicide, but there is with Morgan, then it’s due to disease pressure,” he said. “If you see an increase in yield when you apply a fungicide to AC Morgan, but you don’t see an increase in yield when you apply the fungicide to Leggett, than you know

that the benefit observed in Morgan is due to protecting the plant from disease.” Test weight was also an important factor because it’s something for which oat farmers are paid. May said the test weight of Leggett didn’t change when all the test sites were combined, while the fungicide increased the test weight of the other cultivars. “The largest benefit from the fungicides occurred in cultivars most susceptible to crown rust under high levels of crown rust,” he said. “That’s AC Morgan because it’s the most susceptible and when you put it in a site with a high level of crown rust, you get a big impact, but Leggett, which has good crown rust, no effect,” he said.

New telehandlers equipped to handle many jobs Growing popularity | New telehandlers have greater reach, lifting capacity and safety features BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

are showing up across the Prairies as farmers catch on to their versatility and safety. Safety is often cited as one of the biggest factors in the growing popularity of telehandlers. With a lower centre of gravity and the arm pivot anchored to the rear of the machine, heavy loads can be handled with greater accuracy and far less risk than with skid steer loaders, tractors with buckets and payloaders. “From an attachment perspective, a telehandler has three main advantages compared to other types of loaders,” said Kara Burrell of Agromec Industries in Brandon, which specializes in aftermarket attachments. “The telehandler has greater lift capacity, greater reach and better hydraulic flow.” The versatility extends beyond handling big bales. Telehandlers also work well for handling mini-bulk containers, hay production and as elevated work platforms. There are specialty attachments for pulling snow off roofs, defacing silage piles, handling manure, shredding bales, snow blades and snow blowers. The list of attachments is longer in Europe, the home of telehandler technology, where the machines have been used in fieldwork for decades. It’s especially useful in haying operations where the variety of attachments allow the telehandler to perform almost every task. What’s been missing on the Canadian Prairies until recently is a telehandler with a power take-off and three-point hitch designed specifically for farmers. However, two such telehandlers are now available to prairie farmers: the Dieci and the Merlo. Degelman Dieci

Degelman began importing the Dieci AgriPlus 40.7 VS about five years ago. Although it has a decent lift capacity of 9,000 pounds, it does not have a p.t.o. or a three point hitch. The AgriPlus carries a list price of $137,000. Degelman Dieci representative Sheldon Mohr said the company has sold about 50 AgriPlus units, mostly to dairy operations. “But we also have customers who bought the AgriPlus mainly for haying and in operations where they’re back grounding cattle. With that long reach, it’s very good for cleaning feedlots.” Mohr said there was a growing demand for p.t.o. and a three-point hitch.

There’s also an optional threepoint hitch, making it useful for other tasks. “All the booms come with just one set of hydraulics at the end. We install a splitter valve so there’s dual hydraulics on the front,” said Mohr. “There’s a secondary pump rated at 30 g.p.m. It doesn’t change the lift capacity, but it gives us faster boom speed and more hydraulic flow. “We put a snow blower on one last winter. It easily handles one of our buckets or the speed blade, but it won’t work with something really heavy like our 8,000 lb. Pile Driver blade.” The AgriTech 35.7 VS has a maximum lift capacity of 7,700 lb., maximum height of 23 feet and towing force of 13,220 foot lb. Standard hydraulic capacity is 24 g.p.m., with an optional 30 g.p.m. pump available. The drive is a Vario hydrostatic system. Power comes from a 128 h.p.

provinces who are buying telehandlers now,” he said. Grain farmers typically have a surplus of yard tractors, some with buckets and some that have been retired from the field and now run augers and grain vacs. Alexander said Multifarmer still fits well on smaller dairy farms that milk 60 to 80 cows and can’t afford to have a dedicated loader tractor but still need something with a three point hitch and p.t.o. to run augers, run the manure agitator, run the grain vac, lift

bales and handle silage. “For the smaller dairy guy, the telehandler replaces a skid steer loader and a loader tractor. It makes good sense. The bigger guy milking 120 to 3,000 cows already has enough fully equipped loader tractors,” he said. “The small dairy is a shrinking market. In Manitoba, average size is about 123 milking cows. In Saskatchewan, average size is 144 milking cows. In Alberta, it’s 109 milking cows.” The six Multifarmer models avail-

able in Canada have lift capacities from 5,953 to 6,614 lb. Lift height is 20 to 28 feet. The mechanical drive rear p.t.o. has 1,000 and 540 r.p.m. Prices range from $125,000 for the Multifarmer 27.8 to $150,000 for the 30.9. With a 26 percent market share, Merlo is the largest telehandler company in Canada.

Merlo introduced its first agricultural telehandler with p.t.o. and three point hitch in 1999. Today, the Merlo Multifarmer lineup includes six models with engine horsepower from 102 to 156 and p.t.o. h.p. from 80 to 135. At one time, dairy farms made up the main ag market for telehandlers in Western Canada, but Michael Alexander of Manulift in Alberta said grain farmers now make up the new emerging telehandler market. “We still sell telehandlers to the smaller dairy producers, but it’s the grain farmers right across all three

The format was largely question and answer, but a number of themes developed in both the producers’ questions and the buyers’ answers. Grain buyers are increasingly hopeful about organic markets. This is good news for producers who are still holding previous years’ crops in the bin. Economic conditions in the United States and Europe have been difficult in recent years, and this has slowed the growth of organic consumption. However, buyers see demand beginning to pick up. At the same time, the number of organic producers has declined. These are signs that a sellers market may be developing. Mark Gimby said that at Growers International Organic Sales Inc., “we are here to stay in the organic market. We have every confidence in it. We’ve taken on staff and we’ve bought a new elevator.” Sam Raser of Grain Millers expressed similar optimism. His company ships oats out of northern Alberta by rail, but some of his suppliers were

experiencing difficulties loading rail cars. Grain Millers responded by providing a certified organic storage depot in the north. Producers were told that taking a representative sample is one of the biggest factors in effective marketing. Samples should be taken during harvest as grain is augured from the truck to the bin. Sample each load going in. If seed is cleaned or dried, sample again. Store the samples under conditions similar to those in the bin. Some producers suggested samples be placed in the door of the bin. Samples should be handled professionally and placed in quality freezer bags with an airtight seal. Label them with the farm or producer’s name, date, bin and field and note the volume that is for sale. Send these well-labelled samples to potential buyers. Keep at least one sample at the farm. Buyers will assess the quality of the samples provided. If producers’ grain profiles are already in the system, they are more likely to get a call when the buyer makes a sale. If the product arrives in similar condition to the sample, producers are more likely to get repeat calls. Samples taken as the transport truck is loaded can provide a record of the quality of product that left the farm and are important in dispute resolution. Divide the sample in two, sealing both with duct tape. Have the driver sign across the tape. Send one with the truck and keep one. If the product quality is questionable upon arrival, the sealed sample can be tested and compared with the receiver’s test. If a producer has a dispute with a buyer, it is best to contact the buyer directly. Often the buyer will work with the producer to find a satisfac-

Buyers at the meeting suggested that producers call them weekly to say hello, ask about the markets and keep their name in the buyer’s mind. When buyers make sales, they are likely to turn first to people who are top of mind. Producers also asked which crops to hold over to allow them to catch top prices. Some crops deteriorate rapidly and should be sold shortly after harvest. This includes flax for the food and oil market, because it may develop off tastes, and lentils, which discolour with time. Otherwise, buyers suggested holding only top quality products. Low quality grain will not improve with storage, while high quality grain will be easier to sell when prices rise. Buyers were offering 2012 contracts, commenting that much of the backlog has been used. They were keen to encourage production. Buyers suggested producers keep to their rotations and grow crops they grow well that would be top quality.

Pioneer Weed Scientist Thomas K. Pavlychenko was born in Ukraine in 1892, and after completing his university training in Europe, he immigrated to Canada in 1927. Mr. Pavlychenko moved to Saskatoon where he completed his Master’s degree on weed and crop competition at the U of S in 1932. This research lead Pavlychenko to believe that much of the competition between plants occurred below-ground. Later Mr. Pavlychenko received his PhD from the University of Nebraska with funding from the Carnegie Corporation. Back at the University of Saskatchewan, Dr. Pavlychenko pioneered the “soil-block washing method” wherein entire root systems of plants could be washed free of soil and measurements made. Many of the 150 plants examined with their complete roots systems were then mounted for display. Some of the root systems of plants were astounding. For example, this time-consuming research revealed that a single 2-year-old crested wheatgrass plant had a total of 520 km of roots; a wild oat plant had about 86 km of roots in just 80 days after emerging. Students and visitors at the University of Saskatchewan have no doubt seen some of these plants because they graced the corridors in the “old” Crop Science Building; one plant is currently on display in the Agriculture Building. Other specimens from Pavlychenko’s work are also displayed at the Universities of Manitoba and Alberta as well as the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature in Winnipeg. Professor Pavlychenko resigned from the U of S in 1948 to become a director of agricultural research for a chemical company, but he remained active in delivering short courses and extension information. Throughout his career, Dr. Pavlychenko was committed to designing and conducting research with the goal of helping farmers control weeds that were common on the Canadian Prairies. Even to this day, Dr. Pavlychenko’s research on the root systems of crops and weeds is recognized the world over. Given that studying root systems of plants is so labour intensive and expensive, it is doubtful that Dr. Pavlychenko’s research will ever be duplicated. In 1976, Dr. T.K. Pavlychenko was posthumously installed in the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame. www.agbio.usask.ca

INDIA | FOOD PRODUCTION

India faces food prices, shortage of supply Futures for chickpeas hit a record high in March “Vegetable supply has been falling continuously,” said Vilas Bhujbal, a vegetable trader in Pune in the western state of Maharashtra. “This year a severe cold wave initially hampered growth of vegetables and now higher temperatures and water scarcity is reducing yields.” The arrival of monsoon rain in June will also affect food prices. Most farmers start seeding after the monsoons and any delay, or lower rainfall, could keep food prices high.

Farmers transport cucumbers on a boat through the waters of the Ganges River to sell at a market in the northern Indian city of Allahabad. The wholesale price index, India’s main gauge of inflation, edged up to 6.95 percent in February from a year earlier, driven by a surge in food prices. | REUTERS/JITENDRA PRAKASH PHOTO

MUMBAI, India (Reuters) — Food inflation is likely to pinch Indians at least until July as fruit and vegetable production shrinks, hurt by rising temperatures and a lack of water. Meanwhile, edible oil and pulse prices are rallying on lower production and a more expensive world market. The price of potatoes, the most widely consumed vegetable in the country, jumped 45 percent in the past month, while prices of cabbage and cauliflower jumped more than 30 percent. Prices of pulses, which consumers use as an alternative to vegetables, are powering ahead on thin availability. Futures prices for chickpeas, the most widely consumed pulse, rose to a record high in March on an estimated seven percent production drop. “This year production of all key pulses fell. Carry forward stocks from last year were lower,” said a senior analyst at Angel Commodities. “Imports have also become costlier due to a weak rupee.... All these factors will keep prices firm.” Soyoil futures, an indicator of edible oil prices in the country, hit a record high in early April and are likely to rise further on tight supplies in the world market. Wholesale soyoil prices have risen to $1.46 per kilogram, pushing the retail price above $1.75 per litre, about twice the price of a litre of milk. India fills more than half its edible oil needs through imports, mainly of palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia. Rising food prices will add to problems for the fractious coalition government, which has been weakened by a slew of scandals, and will make it difficult for the central bank to cut high interest rates, which are hindering growth. “Based on market prices, we see a sharp rise in vegetable inflation. Overall, food inflation we see in double digits in March. This will have a very significant impact on overall inflation,” said Sujan Hajra, chief economist at Anand Rathi Securities. Food inflation is problematic for the central bank, which can do little about it. Surging food prices were a key driver of headline inflation that only began to ease significantly toward the end of 2011 as food prices fell, partly because of the base effect from surging prices a year earlier. However, headline inflation edged up to 6.95 percent in February, and the central bank has been forced to push back the expected start to a cycle of interest rate cuts. Potato futures are hovering near their highest level in nearly three years. “A disease attack during the maturity stage has affected potato production,” said R.P. Gupta, director at the National Horticultural Research and Development Foundation. India’s vegetable prices often rise in summer as production falls on water shortages and higher temperatures, but this year a cold wave and even less water threaten sharper price gains.

B.C. GREENHOUSE INDUSTRY | TAX

Carbon tax relief to help B.C. produce growers compete BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

British Columbia’s greenhouse vegetable and floriculture growers will receive $7.6 million from the provincial government in carbon tax relief to help maintain their industry. The province is providing the temporary funding to help mitigate the impact of the carbon tax on the natural gas and propane that greenhouse growers use for heating and carbon dioxide production. The tax relief is for 2012 only. The province plans to review the carbon tax and its impact on British Columbians. “The bottom line is B.C. growers

will be able to better compete with producers in the U.S. and Mexico as a result of the carbon tax grant,” said B.C. Greenhouse Growers president Peter Cummings. The province’s greenhouse industry is the second largest in Canada, with 2011 sales of $515 million. Greenhouse growers pay an estimated $7.6 million annually in carbon tax on fuel and plant production. B.C.’s greenhouse growers employ 5,500 workers in 480 greenhouses that produce tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, plants and flowers. Growers eligible for grants must have had 2011 sales greater than $20,000 and use at least 455 metres for commercial production.

Last year, B.C. exported more than $139 million worth of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, mostly to the United States. | FILE PHOTO

Chris Roulin has reduced the amount of feed he loses to spoilage and spillage to almost zero since he started using a rotary defacer two years ago. Roulin, who milks 100 cows on his farm near Stonewall, Man., says the Emily Mobile Rotor Bucket drops almost no silage on the concrete bunker floors, something that had been a problem when he loaded silage with a standard bucket. “With the other defacers, you deface first and pull the silage down, then come back with a bucket to pick it up,” he said. “With the grapples, you can never get a nice sealed face on the pile. It can start heating right away. With the (Emily) defacer, you take only what you need and it goes straight into the bucket, not on the ground.” Roulin said that even though his piles are on concrete, he never liked the idea of letting silage fall to the ground and then coming back with a bucket to pick it up and feed it to his cows. “This way, there’s less waste and better use of the hay,” he said. “And I’ve found we are able to keep the feed fresh for a longer time. You only take from the pile what you need each time and leave a clean face. Then when you come back again that day or the next day, the silage at the face is fresh and good quality.” Roulin is cautious about saying the Emily defacer has had an effect on milk production, although it’s possible it avoided an early summer slump in milk production. “It’s so hard to tell about this. We started using it (Emily defacer) in June (2010) just before the heat started. So, did the milk production stay there (stable) because we had this defacer or would it have stayed there anyway?” he said. “ P ro d u c t i o n w e nt u p w h e n I improved the lighting in the barn. Hydro wants me to say, ‘my production went up because of the lights.’ But I can’t say that unless we run some scientific comparisons. Same thing with this defacer. We need to run trials to see the differences.”

6.5 million acres in conservation program expire | Economists say high grain prices could push as much as half of the land back into farming CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — North Dakota farmer Justin Zahradka will plant wheat this spring on 40 acres of land that until recently had been offlimits for two decades. It was protected by a government conservation program that is shrinking as high crop prices make farmland more valuable. The 18-year-old high school senior leased the land a year ago from a neighbour who opted not to re-enroll it in the federal Conservation Reserve Program, a scheme that pays farmers and landowners nearly $2 billion annually to leave land idle to protect wildlife and the environment. After loosening up the soil with vegetables last year, he has high hopes for a good harvest. His acres are part of a 1.7 percent rise in the number of acres of U.S. field crops that farmers are projected to plant this spring, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s annual plantings survey. Farmers tapping conservation land could lift crop acres in the United States to a record next year. The trend could ease food supply fears across the globe at the risk of disrupting wildlife that migrate across North Dakota. “Obviously, there isn’t anymore land being made,” Zahradka said.

“With the high commodity prices, there’s an interest in gaining more land to get a greater profit.” A growing number of young farmers have been outbid for established cropland in the Midwest. For them, the CRP territory offers a rare chance to join the biggest agricultural boom in a generation, although the land in the conservation program is not the most productive for farming. This year, contracts covering more than 6.5 million acres worth of CRP land will expire, the second-largest turnover in its 26-year histor y, according to USDA data. The amount of land in the CRP has fallen to the lowest since 1988, down 20 percent from a peak of 36.7 million acres in 2007. While not all that land will be suitable for crops, economists say as much as half may be put back into farming for the first time in decades. Younger farmers are driving the return, which could take several years to bear fruit as the hard, untilled soil slowly soaks up multiple layers of fertilizer and softens up for cash crops. The full impact will likely be known in about a month, when the USDA re v e a l s h o w m a n y a c re s w e re enrolled in the latest general sign-up program, which ended April 6.

LAND CONSERVATION | USDA INCENTIVE PROGRAM

U.S. farmers choosing c Farmers will be tapping acres that were put into the conservation program 15 to 20 years ago, when a tough farm economy chased a lot of owners into the program. Many signed up eager to earn an income from land that was more stable than farming. Now, increased demand for food from countries with expanding middle classes has made the prospect of

farming much more profitable. Corn prices are trading around $6.50 a bushel, compared to $3 a bushel in 1997. Global corn use is expected to exceed production for a fourth consecutive year, according to the USDA. As a result, the conservation program is shrinking. The addition of new acres gives

farmers “the ability to grow huge crops in the U.S.,” said Hal Reed, chief operations officer for The Andersons, a U.S. grain and ethanol company. To encourage producers to put more acres back into the program, the USDA this month increased a one-time signing bonus for those enrolling land that has been deemed among the most environmentally

rops over conservation sensitive. The bonus now will be $150 per acre, up from $100. The potential loss of protected acres concerns various interests, including wildlife and environmental groups, said Jay Hochhalter, a conservation specialist with North Dakota’s Farm Service Agency, a branch of the USDA. “It’s concerning to me,” he said. Contracts covering almost 840,000

acres are expiring in North Dakota, more than any other state. Land under conservation was almost five percent of the state area planted to principal crops last year, USDA data show. The department said the program has restored more than two million acres of wetlands in the U.S. and increased populations of pheasants, quail, ducks and rare species such as

the sage grouse. Zahradka and his father, Jeff, know the challenges of preparing land that has been idle for decades. Two years ago, they bought 160 acres that had been in the conservation program for decades and spent weeks loosening the soil. One way to prepare the land for grain production is to grow crops such as radishes and turnips, known

as “earth’s little drillers,” because they grow down into the soil, helping replenish moisture and nutrients. That’s what Zahradka did last fall. His family will watch for more opportunities to expand into formerly protected lands because Zahradka and his sister want to stay in the farming business. “It takes quite a few acres to make things work,” his father said. Grain elevator managers and seed dealers are also hoping to benefit from the shift of acres back into farming. They have long criticized the conservation program for hurting local economies because landowners stopped buying seed, fertilizer and farm machinery. “The land is coming out so I’m expecting we’ll see that business in the next few years,” said Danny Miller, manager of Farmers Co-op Grain and Seed in Minnesota, which operates a grain elevator and sells inputs. Anthony Mock, a North Dakota farmer, was in high school 20 years ago when owners were putting their land into the program because of low crop prices, making it tough for him to break into the business. Younger farmers “never had that chance to rent land,” he said. “To me, it was a bad program to start with, with good intentions.… This day and age, when our population is exploding ... it’s not good for

the economy.” The USDA says the program has benefited farmers with payments for conserving the land. Some landowners are sticking with the program to protect the environment or because they know their land is too poor to produce good yields. Last year, the government accepted nearly three million acres into the program, although the net number of acres declined. The decline in protected acres means bald eagles that soar over Frank Redlin’s 1,200 acres of gently sloping North Dakota prairie may be forced to seek out a new route on their annual migrations. He expects to start farming some of the land after 20 years in the conservation program. The eagles “may lose some of the food source that they like,” said Redlin, a wildlife lover who struggled to decide whether to re-enroll his acres in the program. Redlin’s nephew, Eldon, farms the land and encouraged Frank to withdraw from the program to boost profits. Eldon said using land to make money trumps protecting wildlife, such as the ducks that nest in prairie grasses on the property. The CRP contributed to a net increase of two million additional ducks per year since 1992 in North Dakota, South Dakota and northeastern Montana, which is a 30 percent increase in duck production, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “When it comes down to making a living or worrying about where the ducks will nest, I’m not really worrying about it,” Eldon said.

NUTRITION | PLANT GENES

Researchers discover plant’s nourishing gene Genes, seed development | Findings have significant implications for global agriculture and food security BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — A gene has been identified for the first time that regulates the optimum amount of nutrients that flow from “mother” to “offspring” in corn plants. The research was led by scientists at the University of Warwick in collaboration with the University of Oxford and the agricultural biotech research company Biogemma, all located in the United Kingdom.

The gene is Meg1, which, unlike most genes that are expressed from both maternal and paternal chromosomes, is expressed only from the maternal chromosomes. “It is well known that in humans, placental growth is controlled by the action of uniparentally expressed or ‘imprinted’ genes,” said Jose Gutierrez-Marcos, associate professor with the University of Warwick’s School of Life Sciences. “We decided a decade ago to initiate a molecular screen to identify

plant-imprinted genes and test if this phenomenon also occurred in the placental-like seed endosperm of flowering plants. From this initial study, we identified Meg1 amongst numerous other genes, which exhibited maternal-only expression in early developing endosperms.” This unusual form of uniparental expression, also called imprinting, isn’t restricted to plants. It is also found in some human genes that are known to regulate the development of the placenta to control the supply

of maternal nutrients during fetal growth. While scientists have known for some time of the existence of such imprinted genes in humans and other mammals, this is the first time a parallel gene to regulate nutrient flow during seed development has been identified in the plant world. It means scientists can now focus on using the gene and further the understanding of the mechanism by which it is expressed to increase seed size and productivity in major crop plants.

“Uniparental expression in plants is highly significant as it doesn’t fit with the classic view of genetics and also shows that flowering plants and mammals have co-opted similar epigenetic mechanisms to regulate the growth and development of their placentallike organs, and ultimately the offspring,” said Gutierrez-Marcos. “These findings have significant implications for global agriculture and food security, as scientists now have the molecular know-how to manipulate this gene by traditional plant breeding or through other methods to improve seed traits such as increased seed biomass yield.” He said researchers have evidence for only a small fraction of genes — less than 200 out of the 40,000 corn genes — that show expression only from one of the inherited parental genomes, mostly those being maternal. “It has been hypothesized that imprinted gene expression allows parents to uniquely contribute gene products (proteins) important for the development of their offspring, thereby promoting sexual reproduction,” he said. “It is unclear why the majority of imprinted genes in plants are maternally expressed, though it may be likely linked to increased fitness of the mother. Intriguingly, imprinted expression occurs mostly in the endosperm tissue within the seed.” The placenta and endosperm are embryo-nourishing organs, both of which result from fertilization of male and female gametes. He said it was surprising that flowering plants and mammals have evolved similar mechanisms to support the growth of these organs and the offspring with little impact on the embryobearing mother. “A few imprinted genes have now been identified in mice, which analogous to Meg1, appear to regulate the differentiation and function of specialized nutrient transfer cell-like structures within the placenta,” he said. “Also, a few genes, though mostly with paternal monoallelic expression, have been identified in the placenta, which act to regulate the supply and demand of nutrients to the embryo.” The application of this research could be enormous. “The most immediate application could be the redesign of breeding programs in crops to take into consideration imprinted gene expression,” he said. “The main strategy would be to exploit the naturally occurring genetic diversity at the Meg1 locus in maize for changes in imprinted gene regulation and relative expression levels.” He said this understanding of how corn seeds and other cereal grains develop will be vital because the global population relies on these stable products for sustenance. “While the identification of Meg1 is an important discovery in its own right, it also represents a real breakthrough in unravelling the complex gene pathways that regulate the provisioning and nutritional content of seeds,” said professor Hugh Dickinson of Oxford University’s plant sciences department.

Plant-based products gain competitive edge Emerging industry | Vibrant marketplace developing in the Sarnia Chemical Valley for companies using plants as feedstock BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

SARNIA, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new kind of chemistry is brewing in Ontario. Companies that use plants as a feedstock are putting down roots in an industrial area known as the Sarnia Chemical Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very vibrant marketplace.â&#x20AC;Ś Everyday is unique; you see another technology coming to the floor,â&#x20AC;? said David Sparling, chair of agri-food innovation and regulation at the University of Western Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richard Ivey School of Business in London, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Security of supply is a really big motivator for people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been relying on oil.â&#x20AC;Ś Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see a lot more volume captured both at the farm and further up the chain.â&#x20AC;? As the emerging industry takes shape, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical that new bio-products slip into slots now filled by the petrochemical industry without a great deal of fuss. For example, the American firm BioAmber and its partner Mitsui & Co. are looking to ferment high fructose corn syrup at Sarnia. The $10 billion market is now filled with petroleum-based products. When completed in about a year, the plant will produce up to 34,000 tonnes of succinic acid a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a green point of view, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tremendous product,â&#x20AC;? company spokesman Mike Hartmann said at a conference organized by Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bioindustrial Innovation Centre March 27-28. Succinic acid is a platform chemical from which others can be produced. They are used to manufacture a broad range of products, including plastics, coolants, resins, lubricants, food additives, personal care products and composites for manufacturing automobiles. Lanxess of Germany owns the site where BioAmber is locating and has its own interest in the bioeconomy. Along with its minority interest in BioAmber, Lanxess has invested in Gevo Inc., which has developed a process to produce isobutanol from corn and other sugar sources. Isobutanol can be converted into isobutylene, a key precursor used in the production of butyl rubber. Lanxess now produces butyl rubber from petrochemicals at Sarnia. Archie Kerr, who recently retired from the company, said it has produced isobutanol from corn at its pilot plant in Germany and has tentative plans to do the same in Sarnia. Lanxess has been receiving regular inquiries from biobased companies about space at its industrial park. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a similar situation at the Bluewater Energy Park next door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the interest weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting here is from the bio-industry,â&#x20AC;? said a spokesperson for TransAlta, which owns the park. Suncorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Clair Ethanol Plant, with a capacity of 400 million litres, is the largest ethanol production facility in Canada. Jim Grey, chief executive officer of IGPC Ethanol at Aylmer, Ont., said ethanol production as a standalone enterprise is now a mature industry. New revenue streams are needed if the sector is to grow. He said farmerowned IPGC is looking at biodiesel production as a possibility.

Isobutanol production is another option and is moving forward in the United States. Gevo Inc. of Colorado has developed a conversion system for ethanol plants and has acquired a small facility in Luverne, Texas, which will produce 18 million gallons of isobutanol annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be coming online in midJune,â&#x20AC;? said Jack Huttner, Gevoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive-vice president of commercial and public affairs. A second facility with a 38 million gallon capacity will operate as a joint venture with farmer-owned Redfield Energy in South Dakota by 2013.

JACK HUTTNER GEVO INC.

Huttner said isobutanol is superior to ethanol as a fuel. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix with water and is much closer to gasoline in performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can blend it to 16 percent and beyond,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, you can run engines on butanol without having made any

changes to the engines.â&#x20AC;? Producing isobutanol for fuel isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Gevoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intent, at least not until higher value markets are tapped. Huttner said non-fuel markets include the production of paint, solvents and rubber. The rising price of fossil fuels has made bio-based feed stocks competitive, Huttner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Companies like Lanxess are looking to hedge their petroleum costs.â&#x20AC;? Coca Cola is also on board. Huttner said Gevo was among three companies chosen to supply the multinational with bio-isobutanol to make its plastic bottles.

Marc Verbruggen, president of Natureworks LLC, said his company makes the plant-based polymer Ingeo, which is its version of polylactic acid. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used to produce more than 40 products, including biodegradable and durable plastics, packaging, fibres for clothing and personal use products. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wash as to which feedstock is used when corn is priced at $5 a bushel and petroleum at $90 a barrel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do biopolymers have to be more expensive than conventional plastics?

WEATHER | SPRING

U.S. farmers seed crop earlier in balmy spring weather Record breaking temperatures | Warmer than normal March weather is expected to cool in the first half of April CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Last month was the warmest March on record across half of the United States as summer-like temperatures provided welcome news to the country’s farmers and clothing retailers. Forecasters predicted April could also be warmer than normal, although they said temperatures were likely to fluctuate in a more seasonal pattern in the first half of the month and that fewer records would be shattered. Accuweather.com said cities in more than 25 states, as well Washington, D.C., broke records for average daily temperatures last month,

including Chicago, Oklahoma City, Des Moines, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Detroit. New York City and Philadelphia both came within 0.4 degrees of beating existing records for average temperatures in March. Albany, New York, took the prize for breaking the oldest temperature record on the books, according to Accuweather.com. Its average daily temperature in March was 7.7 C, breaking a record of 6.9 C set in 1859, the private weather forecasting firm said. St. Louis also broke a longstanding record, according to the National

Weather Service, enjoying its warmest March since record-keeping started in 1874. The average temperature in St. Louis in March was 16.2 C, the Weather Service said, soaring past the former record of 14.3 C, set in 1910. The unusually warm temperatures allowed farmers in the country’s corn belt to plant three percent of this year’s corn crop before the traditional April 1 start to the planting season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said April 2, matching the fastest pace on record. The USDA report did not show how much corn was planted in Iowa, the country’s top producer. But planting

in Illinois, which usually produces the second largest amount of corn, was five percent complete by the end of the month, the department said. Crop cast Ag Services predicted March “will surely go down as one for the ages.” The summer-like temperatures are also expected to boost the fortunes of clothing retailers, prompting consumers to snap up spring clothing earlier than usual and leading to broad sales gains at top U.S. chains. The milder winter left the stores stuck with an inventory of warm clothes in December and January, but most of the retailers accelerated

their shipment of spring products to take advantage of the weather. Mike Pigott, a forecaster at Accuweather.com, said the long-range forecast suggested a good chunk of the country would enjoy warmerthan-normal temperatures again in April, especially later in the month. In the meantime, he said residents who were spoiled by the summerlike warmth in March will be subjected to several weeks of more seasonable and more spring-like fluctuations in temperatures. “The pattern will feel more normal than what we saw in March, at least for the first half of April,” Pigott said. MONSANTO | QUARTER RESULTS

Profits soar from early seeding, sales jump Monsanto sets record for seeds, genomics KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) — Monsanto has posted a higher-thanexpected quarterly profit, sending share prices higher. The company said early U.S. spring seeding and a 15 percent sales jump boosted its full-year outlook. “We’ve seen contributions from growth across crops and geographies, which position us well to deliver high-teens ongoing earnings growth this year,” Monsanto chair Hugh Grant said in a statement. Monsanto, which is the world’s largest seed company, said it set a record for its seeds and genomics unit, driving net income for the second quarter to $1.2 billion from $1 billion a year earlier. Corn sales totalled $2.8 billion, up from $2.4 billion a year earlier, leading all other products. Latin American and U.S. farmers were eager buyers of Monsanto’s genetically modified seed products. Vegetables seeds dip Soybean seed sales grew by 12 percent to $689 million, but cotton sales fell slightly and vegetable seed sales dropped six percent, primarily because of a decrease in the European market. Monsanto expects net cash provided by operating activities to be $2.5 to $2.8 billion, and net cash required by investing activities to be $900 million to $1 billion for fiscal year 2012. The company said it expects acres of its Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans and Genuity reduced refuge corn family to increase by more than 10 million acres each this year. That would bring the acreage totals into the range that the company was projecting for 2012: 22 to 24 million acres for the Genuity reduced refuge corn family and 27 to 30 million acres for the specialty Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans.

JAPAN | WHEAT IMPORTS

Good harvest sends Japan’s imports down TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) — Japan plans to buy 6.5 percent less foreign food wheat in the year to March 2013 in anticipation of higher local production. The plans would be helped by government initiatives to lift food self sufficiency. A panel of experts have approved a plan by the agriculture ministry to buy 4.78 million tonnes of foreign wheat for milling use in 2012-13, compared with the 2011-12 plan for 5.11 million tonnes. Japan, the world’s fifth-biggest wheat importer, keeps a tight grip on wheat imports. It sets an annual import target to supplement local crops, buys foreign wheat through tenders and then sells to users at prices revised every six months based on purchase costs. Japan’s lower import estimate comes at a time when the world has a surplus because of healthy harvests in major producing countries. However, demand is expected to be underpinned by the need to replace costly corn in animal feed, traders said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently lowered its estimate of world wheat stocks by the end of the year to May 2012 to 209.6 million tonnes, down from its February estimate of 213.1 million tonnes and below trade expectations for 212.6 million tonnes. Wheat is the second most important grain after rice for Japan’s 128 million people, but the country grows only 10 percent of its annual 5.6 million tonne requirement. The country’s calorie-based food self-sufficiency rate stood at 39 percent, one of the lowest among developed countries. Japan has been encouraging farmers to grow rice as an alternative to wheat for use by bakeries and pastry makers. Rice is traditionally the staple food, and production is usually in surplus. The ministry projected local production of food wheat at 780,000 tonnes in 2012-13, including 50,000 tonnes of rice-origin flour. The ministry also said it would buy 220,000 tonnes of foreign barley and rye for use in food processing.

ating feed costs and concern that American domestic pork sales may slow, analysts said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has reported the U.S. hog herd as of March 1 at 102.0 percent of a year ago, or 64.872 million head. Analysts, on average, expected 64.766 million head, or 101.7 percent of a year earlier. Much of that increase in herd size was due to more baby pigs surviving. USDA reported pigs per litter for the December through February period at 102 percent of a year ago, or 9.97 pigs. Minus USDA’s rounding up, the actual percent change was 101.73 percent, which nearly matched the trade average of 101.7. The 9.97 is up from 9.8 pigs a year ago, and is the most ever for a winter quarter, analysts said. The U.S. breeding herd as of March 1 was up about one percent from a year earlier at 5.82 million head, compared with trade expectations for a 0.2 percent increase. The supply of market hogs was up about two percent from a year earlier at 59.052 million head. Analysts, on average, expected a 1.8 percent increase. “I considered the report to be generally neutral since most of the numbers came in close to survey results. But, if the cattle market continues to breakdown, it could have a negative impact on hog futures,” s a i d D a n Va u g h t w i t h Va u g h t Futures Insights. Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle contracts fell nearly two percent to a 2 1/2-month low recently as traders feared that negative packer margins and the uproar over what critics labelled “pink slime” would send cash cattle prices lower the following week. Cash hog and wholesale pork prices were the highest ever late last year and early winter, due to China buying pork to ease prohibitively high pork prices in that country. Since then, domestic hog and pork prices have gradually come d ow n a s C h i n e s e p o rk b u y i n g slowed. Also, U.S. shoppers have been slow to buy pork for spring grilling. U.S. Commodities analyst Don Roose is expecting the report’s spring and summer farrowing intentions to underpin the deferred hog contacts. Based on those intentions, hog farmers are likely to turn out fewer hogs “down the road,” he said. However, the hurdle for producers to overcome will be the fluctuating cost of feed. Also a concern is domestic pork sales, which could be hurt by consumers trying to cope with painfully high gasoline prices.

HISTORY | SOUTH AMERICA

Long buried corn specimens provide crop development clues Ancient society studied | Excavations in South America show pre-Inca people used corn for popcorn and corn flour BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — People who lived along the coastal regions of Peru were eating popcorn 1,000 years earlier than previously recorded. In fact, they were chewing corn kernels and popping them in campfires even before pottery had been invented. “ These people were pre-Inca

coastal people,” said Tom Dillehay with Vanderbilt University’s anthropology department in Nashville. “They were mainly maritime foragers who built earth-stone mounds, but probably had exchange contacts with lots of people along the coast from the north to the south.” Dillehay and Duccio Bonavia of Peru’s Academia Nacional de la Historia led a research group to excavate sites at Paradones and Huaca Prieta,

where they found the oldest known corn cobs, husks, stalks and tassels dating from 6,700 to 3,000 years ago. They also found corn microfossils, including starch grains and phytoliths. Some of the characteristics of the cobs, the earliest ever discovered in South America, indicated that the ancient people ate corn in a variety of ways, including popcorn and corn flour.

The archaeological sites are located on Peru’s arid northern coast, although historically the climate of the site has been variable. “(Back then) it would have been just as arid, but there were wetter moments too,” said Dillehay. “A fairly large population was in the area.” Huaca Prieta is a large artificial mound that had been originally excavated in the 1940s. The recent excavations by Dillehay and Bonavia revealed remains of room structures, human burials, many stone, textile, and wood artefacts, animal remains, plants and cultigens, which are plants that have been deliberately altered or selected by humans. The artifacts were carbon dated from 13,700 to 3,800 years ago. The Paredones mound is one kilometre north of Huaca Prieta, with similar cultural deposits dating between 6,700 and 4,000 years ago. The archaeologists recovered 293 corn remains from the sites, plus 43 other specimens that had been damaged in the past. The remains of the corn discovered at the sites “represent one of the largest and most morphologically diverse collections of well preserved early (corn) specimens available for study,” the authors wrote in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Corn was a small component of the ancient people’s diet, which included fish, shellfish, seaweed, sea lions, wild plants, squash, beans, chilli peppers and other cultigens. Dolores Piperno, curator of New World archaeology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and emeritus staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, said corn was first domesticated in Mexico nearly 9,000 years ago from a wild grass called teosinte. Today corn ranks among the world’s most important domestic crops. “Our results show that only a few thousand years later, corn arrived in South America, where its evolution into different varieties that are now c o m m on in the Andean ra nge began,” said Piperno. “This evidence further indicates that in many areas, corn arrived before pots did and that early experimentation with corn as a food was not dependent on the presence of pottery.” Dillehay said pottery actually appeared in Peru about 4,500 years ago and was probably used for cooking larger portions of food. “Corn probably was traded and/or it migrated from Mexico through to Central America to Peru,” he said. It’s challenging to understand the transformations in the characteristics of corn cobs and kernels that led to the hundreds of corn types known today, as well as where and when each one of them developed or were cultivated. Corn cobs and kernels do not preserve well in the hot, humid forests of Central and South America and the trading routes of the Panama. “These new and unique races of corn may have developed quickly in South America, where there was no chance that they would continue to be pollinated by wild teosinte,” said Piperno. “Because there is so little data avail-

able from other places for this time period, the wealth of morphological information about the cobs and other corn remains at this early date is very important for understanding how corn became the crop we know today.” Dillehay said wild teosinte does not grow as far south as Peru. Corn had likely lost its teosinte traits by the time it arrived in that country, he added. The paper noted that the archaeological remains confirm a long and diverse history of corn in northern Peru’s Andean region that can be traced to at least 6,775 to 6,504 years ago. This is the oldest date for corn fossils in South America and is in line with ancient corn cobs found in Mexico’s Guila Naquitz Cave dated to 6,200 years ago. In considering the development of corn as a food, the paper suggested that improvements in corn productivity were easier for ancient farmers to achieve when hybridization with teosinte could not occur because the Peruvian region was outside the natural range of the wild grass. However, the researchers’ findings have contributed to knowledge of the early diffusion of corn and agriculture and offer wider implications for understanding the development of early pre-industrial human societies.

TYPES OF CORN • DENT: As the white to yellow kernels mature, they become indented. This commonly grown corn is used for oil, cereals and flour as well as animal feed. Because of a high cellulose content, it can been used to create biodegradable plastics and absorbent material for diapers. The oil is used in cosmetics, soaps and skin care products. • FLINT: The kernels are hard and come in all colours. It is used for similar purposes as dent corn. • POPCORN: is characterized by a hard outer skin and soft starchy centres. This combination gives it its popability. • SWEET or VEGETABLE CORN: Delicious eaten straight off the cob because of its high sugar content. Best enjoyed fresh because storage will slowly turn the sugars into starch. • WAXY CORN: This variety has a waxy appearance and is used mainly in the Far East for its tapioca-like starch. It is used as a stabilizing and thickening agent for food products and for animal feed. Source: Versagrain.com

MEAT PROCESSING | BEEF FILLER

Meat processors face backlash from ‘pink slime’ meat filler Food activists call for ban | AFA Foods files for bankruptcy protection SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (Reuters) — Ground beef processor AFA Foods filed for bankruptcy protection April 2, blaming the uproar over a meat filler dubbed “pink slime” by critics. Meat processors have faced a backlash over the use of an ammoniatreated beef filler they call “finely textured beef.” Food activists have campaigned to have it banned, but supporters say the product is safe to eat. AFA is one of the largest ground beef processors in the United States and produces more than 500 million pounds of ground beef products annually, the company said in documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware. In filing for bankruptcy, it cited “recent changes in the market” for its products and media coverage related to the filler. It also said it was seeking a sale of some or all of its assets. The backlash over “pink slime” has prompted companies such as Beef Products Inc. to halt production at some of its plants and has led big U.S. supermarket chains to announce they will stop buying the ammoniatreated beef. The impact of the controversy is far-reaching, said Gary Acuff, director of the Center for Food Safety at Texas A&M University. “The public view of this product is pretty damaged at this point,” Acuff

I want to expose the people who are behind this. I don’t think Americans need to be misled by a smear campaign. TERRY BRANSTAD IOWA GOVERNOR

said. “I’m not sure they’ll recover from something like this.” Jeremy Russell of the National Meat Association said “this is certainly going to have an economic impact on the industry” from cattle ranchers to meat processors, affecting thousands of jobs. Ground beef makes up a “big part” of the overall meat market, and prices are sure to rise, he added. The phrase “pink slime” was first used by a former U.S. Department of Agriculture microbiologist, Gerald Zirnstein, who used the term in a 2002 e-mail to co-workers after having toured a BPI plant. The current debate began after celebrity chef Jamie Oliver drew attention to the product. Some politicians have rallied to the industry’s side, including Iowa governor Terry Branstad, who blasted the celebrity critics. “This to me is outrageous,” Branstad said. “I want to expose the people who are behind this. I don’t think

Americans need to be misled by a smear campaign.” AFA, based in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, has plants in California, Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. It has 850 full-time employees and posted annual revenue of $958 million as of December 2011. The company expected to idle the California facility in early April to conserve cash and cut unneeded processing capacity under current market conditions, according to a court filing. AFA said it has $219 million in assets and $197 million in liabilities. It also said it has secured a commitment for $56 million in debtor-inpossession financing from its lenders GE Capital and Bank of America. “An orderly sale through Chapter 11 will unlock value and provide a smooth transition for employees, customers and other business partners,” said Ronald Allen, interim chief executive officer of AFA Foods.

Filling the tank with fertilizer and dragging it around the ﬁeld slows down seeding. That’s why you should consider getting most of your N out of the tank. Sure, a starter fertilizer with N, S and P is a worthwhile investment. But consider the time and effort you would save if you didn’t apply all your N at seeding. You could get N out of the tank several ways. Use a

the nitrogen it needs at pre-seeding N application and spread ahead of planting the critical growth stage. This means you can apply or top dress after planting. nitrogen to your fields — Apply it on the surface and keep it there. ® along with AGROTAIN nitrogen stabilizer; you still get the critical nutrition the plant needs, when it needs it. But it allows you to speed up seeding by not having to stop and refill as frequently. AGROTAIN® stabilizer can be blended with ureabased fertilizer products to create enhanced-efficiency fertilizers that control surface loss by blocking the enzyme urease. When applied with normal rates of nitrogen, it reduces the risk for nitrogen loss therefore providing the crop with

And when you have a need for speed, it delivers that performance while saving time. If you have a question for the Nitrogen Miser or would like to get more information about Stabilized Nitrogen Technology, don’t hesitate to contact me at shawn.colborn@kochind.com or 204-451-0536.

SPRING’S NEW LIFE

Spanish farmers hope for good rainfall Weather watch | Country has driest winter in 65 years

MADRID, Spain (Reuters) — Spanish farmers are pinning all hope on forecasted rainfall in April and May to take the sting out of crop damage from the driest winter in 65 years. The prognosis for Portuguese grain is even worse. The three months to February were the driest in Spain since the Met Office began compiling comparable records in 1947. International grain market players will watch weather developments

A better burn can impact what you earn. Being poor competitors, early weed pressure can diminish yield potential in canola and pulse crops. As the only non-residual high-performance burndown herbicide, CleanStart® can play a role in your overall management strategy – providing control above and beyond glyphosate.

closely because Spain is a major buyer. Even with a bumper grain crop, it needs to import 10 million tonnes a year. Portugal usually imports two million tonnes. “Right now, things don’t look good. Things may be salvaged if it continues to rain, but if it doesn’t, we might lose everything,” said Andres Villayandre, an agronomist with the ASAJA union in Castilla-Leon, Spain’s main grain-producing region. Spanish farmers have planted 13.3 million acres to winter crops this year, about the same as a year ago when they harvested 16.9 million tonnes. European Union grain lobby Coceral predicts a winter grain harvest of 12.9 million tonnes in Spain this summer, a 25 percent drop from last year. If Coceral’s prediction is right, Spain might have to import another four million tonnes of grain this year, on top of its customary 10 million import requirement. Forecasters are looking for normal rainfall in April and May, the months that typically make or break the harvest of winter-planted wheat and barley. The drought has had less time to damage crops planted later in the central and northern plains of Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla-Leon, which together grow 60 percent of Spain’s wheat and barley crop. “In La Mancha, rain in the past two weeks has been welcome, and that falling now and which may yet fall will improve matters,” said Antonio Caton, a grain technician with Farm Co-operatives, whose members market five million tonnes of grain a year. “In Castilla-Leon, as it is possible it will rain in Easter week, then 80 to 82 percent of the harvest may be saved.” However, damage was likely to be more extensive in sun-scorched southerly Andalucia, which produces most of Spain’s durum, the only cereal in which Spain has an exportable surplus. Caton estimated 30 percent of land seeded to durum in Andalucia might have comparable yields to levels of one tonne per acre last year. Spain’s total grain harvests, including spring-planted crops, can vary from 13 to 23 million tonnes, depending on the weather. In neighbouring Portugal, rainfall for October to March was just half of normal levels and the Met Office there has declared a severe drought for the southern Alentejo region, the only part of the country suitable for growing crops such as wheat. Many farmers decided not to plant in January after crops seeded into dry ground in December grew badly and because farmgate prices barely covered costs. Despite recent rain, producers’ association ANPOC predicts Portugal’s winter grain crop will fall by 30 to 40 percent from last year, when it was 175,000 tonnes. “For the most part of the crop situation, precipitation came late and the rains did not materially solve the problem,” ANPOC president Bernardo Albino said.

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

Re/Max North Country, Don Dyck, 306-221-1684, Warman, SK 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

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

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

BULK UP NOW. EARN UP TO

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

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

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

FLOOD CONTROL

FROM ORANGES TO RICE: ADAPTING TO CHANGE New farming practices in an ancient land | Construction of the massive Three Gorges Dam in China’s Hubei province moved more than a million people and changed the farming landscape of the region forever. | Story & photos by Barb Glen

Numerous bridges, most built as a result of changing landscapes from the creation of the dam, dot the landscape along the Yangtze between Yichang and Chongqing.

» The Three Gorges hydroelectric

dam is the world’s largest power station. Its last two turbines in the underground plant will become fully operational in May.

ICHANG, China — Tsui Yong remembers his mother’s sorrow when the rising waters of the Yangtze River reservoir swallowed her orange trees. In another two months, she would have harvested and sold the oranges for which this region of the Hubei province is known. The reservoir created from completion of the massive Three Gorges Dam, which began operations in 2003, covered 632 sq. kilometres of land, including more than 60,000 acres of farmland, two cities, 11 counties and 116 towns. Yong’s parents were among the 1.39 million people who had to relocate. “For me, it’s O.K., but my parents (were) affected,” said Yong, who works as a tour guide at the dam site in Yichang. “Some of their farmlands (have) been flooded. My parents, they built a new house by the new highway. Actually, people in this mountainous area like to build their new house near the new highway because it’s convenient for transportation.” The Three Gorges Dam, so named for the Qutang, Wu and Xiling Gorges

that feed into it, was controversial from its initiation 30 years ago, but Yong ’s presentation to tourists emphasizes the positive aspects. He talks about the new houses provided by the government and the job opportunities created when industries were encouraged to relocate near the dam and reservoir, closer to needed resources. In the immediate area around the dam are new factor ies making orange juice, shoes, solar heaters and clothing. “Young people even some feel good because young people can quickly adapt to a change environment. They got more opportunities. But not everybody (is) like that,” he said. “Everything is changing. It’s still better than before.” According to explanatory dam data sold to tourists at the site, relocation costs made up almost half the project’s total budget. “It is because of those ordinary Chinese people committing to their obligations that the resettlement and the construction of the TGP (Three Gorges Project) can proceed successfully,” it reads.

Yong said compensation was provided to those who lost homes and property. The amount was based on the type of structure. Those with concrete foundations received more than those with an earthen base, for example. In the case of orange trees, amounts varied with the size of the tree. Those who had to move were given a choice of going to higher ground on the reservoir side, which is mountainous, or to lower and less hilly ground below the dam. Oranges and tangerines were primary crops for many upstream, so moving below the dam sometimes required them to learn new agricultural skills to grow the rice, wheat and cotton more suitable to that region, said Yong. In some cases, entire villages were moved so communities could be retained. Some chose to relocate to cities, including Shanghai, far downstream, or Chongqing, 650 km upstream. It was part of the urban migration that continues today in China, with young people moving to cities for more plentiful and better paying jobs.

The main purpose of the dam is flood control, Yong said. More than 15 million people live in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze and history shows damaging floods occur about every 10 years. He said floods in 1931 and 1935 killed 280,000 people downstream and another flood in 1998 killed 1,300. Losses in the latter flood were valued at $26 billion, almost as much as the entire cost of Three Gorges Dam construction at $28 billion. “So just only considering the function for flooding control, it’s worth it,” said Yong. However, the hydroelectric capacity of the dam is also significant in this developing country of 1.3 billion people where 70 percent of the electricity is still generated from coal. The dam has an installed electrical generation capacity of 18,200 megawatts, according to dam site data. It has 32 turbines of 700 megawatts each, with 1,000 cubic metres per second flowing over each turbine at peak flow. Yong said average annual power generation is 100 billion Kw hours,

making it the largest power plant in the world. The electricity is distributed within a 1,000 km radius of the dam. Even so, the dam provides only three percent of China’s electrical needs, according to Yong, and the percentage is dropping as more electricity is needed for factories and an improved lifestyle that includes more appliances and electronics. In the 1980s, Yong said few people in his hometown had a television. The nearest one was a 15 minute walk away, and was made more or less public by its owner. His parents bought their first television in 1992 and now they are common in most homes, along with washing machines and air conditioners. The ever-growing need for electrical power has prompted four more dam projects on Yangtze tributaries, said Yong. He had no information on potential irrigation and food production benefits provided by the dam, and English translations of dam data are also silent on that issue. However, transport of goods is another benefit of the dam and the

water level regulation it provides. Numerous cargo ships ply Yangtze waters. The dam has two, five-stage locks that allow ships to navigate the 113 metre change in water level above and below the dam. Passage through the locks is free and takes about four hours. A ship elevator, designed to lift ships, cargo and water using a system of cables and gears, remains under construction, slated for completion in about three years. About 35,000 people worked on the dam at peak construction, said Yong, and about 2,000 remain there to operate it and do ongoing work. The dam spans 2.3 km across the Yangtze. Permanent gantry cranes along its top control the gates on the spillway. River levels can now reach 175 metres in depth and did reach that level in 2010, although they are lower now. This particular location was chosen because of granite geology that provides a suitable foundation. As well, there was a natural island in the river at this point, which allowed

one side to be used as a diversion channel while construction went ahead on the other. That eliminated the need for diversion tunnels, Yong said. Three Gorges is neither the largest dam in the world nor does it have the largest reservoir, Yong said. However, its world records include largest power generation, at 10 billion kW hours per year, and largest concrete dam, at 28 million cubic m e t re s. It i s s o l i d c o n c re t e a s opposed to rock or earth filled. Three Gorges will also have the largest lift lock, when that phase is completed, and already has the largest inland lock system. “Some dams have only one function, but this one has many benefits,” said Yong. In his award-winning 2007 documentary titled Up the Yangtze, filmmaker Yung Chang asks viewers to “imagine the Grand Canyon being turned into a great lake.” Storage capacity of the Three Gorges reservoir is 3.93 billion cubic metres and it is indeed a big lake, some of it with 3,000 years of history beneath it.

VITERRA | SALE

SWP official regrets loss of co-op, sale of Viterra Former pool president nervous | Marvin Wiens says he is uncomfortable seeing Viterra fall under foreign ownership BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The last full-time farmer-president of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool laments the sale of company he helped build. Marvin Wiens is uncomfortable that Viterra, a Canadian grain handling icon with ties to the three former prairie pools, could soon be in foreign hands if shareholders and Canadian regulators approve the $6.1 billion deal with Glencore International. “I’m nervous about a foreign company making decisions on behalf of western Canadian farmers,” he said. Many growers are happy with Viterra, as evidenced by its 45 percent share of the western Canadian grain handling business. “There’s no doubt about it, I’m disappointed about the loss of Viterra because we were just getting really comfortable with a company that was doing a good job,” said Wiens. “Now we’re d e a l in g w i t h t h e unknown again.” It stings that the company he helped build into a Canadian grain handling giant as president of SWP between 2000 and 2004 is shedding assets and being transferred into foreign hands.

However, the latest development is nowhere near as gut-wrenching as what happened seven years ago when farmers lost control of their beloved wheat pool. Wiens was elected to SWP’s board of directors in 1984. His tenure as president coincided with one of the most turbulent times for the farmer co-operative, which was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. “It was probably four of the most difficult years of my life,” he said. The pool was drowning in $1 billion of debt thanks to a three-year, $799 million expansion and construction strategy spearheaded by former chief executive officer Don Loewen. “We were losing money on our elevator system. We were losing money on the hogs. We were losing money on the grain terminals in Mexico. We were losing money just about everywhere we looked,” said Wiens. He was on the search committee that uncovered former ConAgra executive Mayo Schmidt, the man he credits with turning around the financial fortunes of the co-operative, but also leading it down the path to a publicly traded company with little farmer direction. Wiens recalls flying to Toronto with

The decision to sell Heartland livestock broke the hearts of board members who were in the livestock business because that was just part of who we were. MARVIN WIENS FORMER SWP PRESIDENT

his new chief executive officer to meet with a consortium of bankers to sign a financial restructuring plan that would rescue the pool from the brink of disaster. It was a time of layoffs and costtrimming. The SWP held a massive garage sale, selling non-core assets to pay off $200 million of debt. “The decision to sell Heartland livestock broke the hearts of board members who were in the livestock business because that was just part of who we were. But we were told we had no choice, and we didn’t.” Some directors refused to cash expense cheques during that tumultuous time to help the pool survive. “That’s the kind of loyalty we had among our delegate and director body.”

The company was back on stable financial footing by the time Wiens stepped down from the board of directors in 2004, but he didn’t like the direction it was heading on governance issues. The Toronto Stock E xchange advised the pool it needed outside influence on the board of directors to have any credibility with investors. “They came from the corporate world and they didn’t see any value in the co-operative,” said Wiens. Wiens retired from the board in 2004 to avoid having to vote on moving the pool from a publicly traded co-operative into a traditional corporate structure. “There was a group of people that fought extremely hard to try and keep the pool because we knew that if we lost the farmer input at the board table, farmers would lose. And I think we have lost,” he said. All ties to the co-operative movement were permanently severed in February 2005 when pool delegates approved a proposal to create a single class of common voting shares with no special rights for farmers. Long gone were the 1970s when the board made decided to keep fertilizer prices low during a period of high grain prices.

“That will never, ever happen in today’s world. Was it the right decision for the pool as a whole? Maybe not, because maybe they needed to make more money in the good years along with the farmers,” said Wiens. “But they did make decisions more based on what was good for farmers. I don’t think we have much of that left anymore, unfortunately.” With its financial house in order, the pool went on to acquire Agricore United in 2007 to form Viterra, a Canadian grain handling giant. Viterra was well on its way toward becoming a global powerhouse when the Glencore offer arrived. The Globe and Mail estimates Schmidt will walk away from the deal with $37.5 million, which is the value of his Viterra stocks, options, incentives and the cost of terminating his employment contract. Wiens sold most of his SWP-Viterra stock over the years, but he still has enough to cast a vote at the shareholder meeting in May. He thinks it will be much easier to vote yes to the Glencore deal than it was to endorse the governance changes seven years ago, which effectively killed the prairie grain cooperative movement.

FARMERS’ MARKETS | ECONOMIC BENEFITS

National farmers’ market organization makes pitch for more federal funds BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Fa r m e r s’ m a rk e t s u p p o r t e r s exploded with wrath in February after Loblaw executive chair Galen Weston suggested someone is going to die from buying bad food at a farmers’ market. “ There hav e b een 40 m i l l i o n impressions from people supporting farmers’ markets,” Farmers’ Markets Canada president Robert Chorney

told MPs on the House of Commons agriculture committee last week. “That’s Facebook, Twitter, blogs, all the media and 40 million impressions.” It was part of Chorney’s pitch that local farmers’ markets are “like motherhood and apple pie” and are a multibillion-dollar business in the midst of a resurrection. He also argued that the federal government should pledge money to help the national organization

remain active and able to promote the brand. Agriculture Canada gave the newly formed association $350,000 in 200809 to help it organize and conduct studies on the impact of the sector. That grant has now ended and there was no mention of renewal in recent Agriculture Canada spending estimates. “I think we’re going to renew our approach to (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz and his staff and see, per-

haps with some help, what we can do to access some funds to continue our work,” said Chorney. He said the organization is “dormant” and being kept alive by volunteers. He estimated direct sales from farmers’ markets at more than $1 billion annually with an economic impact of more than $3 billion. There are more than 500 markets in Canada, mainly in Ontario and British Columbia.

“The economic impact of these farmers’ markets across Canada is over $3 billion, very much a sleeping giant.” Weston made his comment at a February food conference organized by the Conference Board of Canada. “Farmers markets are great … but someday they’re going to kill someone,” he said in answer to a question from the Toronto audience. “I’m just saying that to be dramatic, though,” he quickly added.

ANIMAL WELFARE | ONTARIO

Ontario seeks animal welfare alternative SPCA accused of harassment | The charitable organization wants to educate but not be responsible for law enforcement BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A consensus is emerging in Ontario that animal welfare regulations aren’t working. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Food and Farm Care Ontario and the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies say the current system is unsustainable and should be amended. Under the current system, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals handles animal welfare inspections and enforces provincial regulations. However, Crystal Mackay, executive director of Food and Farm Care Ontario, said the system is unsound, mainly because the SPCA is a charitable organization with the unusual mandate of law enforcement. “It would be like your provincial police force having to fundraise,” said Mackay. Ontario farmers have accused the SPCA of abusing its policing authority to generate newspaper headlines about livestock cruelty cases. Those headlines, in turn, garner

funds for its cause. The OFA, while not going that far, said the SPCA has harassed its members and wants the province to amend the legislation that governs the animal welfare group. “We believe farmers are being unfairly targeted while using standard animal care practices,” the OFA said in a news release. “Some are vulnerable to unwarranted farm inspections and even harassment.” In response to these concerns, MPP Jack MacLaren introduced a private member’s bill in March to amend the legislation. Bill 47 would strip the SPCA of its power to enforce animal welfare regulations on livestock, instead handing that role to the provincial agriculture ministry. As well, SPCA officers wouldn’t be able to lay charges of animal abuse or neglect. Only regional and provincial police would have the power to lay charges. The proposed bill outraged animal rights groups in Ontario, who said it would push animal welfare in the province back into the dark ages. The bill failed to pass second read-

We think there are some good models, including the Manitoba option. You’ve got veterinarians and ministry of agriculture staff responding to farm calls, (which) I think is a really responsible approach. CRYSTAL MACKAY FOOD AND FARM CARE ONTARIO

ing in the legislature in late March, but Mackay said it shone a needed spotlight on the issue. “The status quo isn’t a good option,” she said. “From the SPCA’s point of view, the concept of having to fundraise and then being responsible for enforcement and recognizing how specialized livestock production is today, it’s a tough job for them.” The local SPCA is responsible for animal welfare inspections in most provinces, said Shelagh MacDonald, program director with the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies. SPCA staff act as peace officers and have the authority to enforce animal welfare regulations, including the

power to seize livestock. It may be common practice in animal welfare, but MacDonald said few charities have policing powers in Canada. “I think it’s an interesting system, and I think it is becoming more in question…. We have charitable organizations that are doing law enforcement work. That doesn’t happen in any other sector of our society,” she said. “I think it needs improvement. Law enforcement should be funded by the government. In most provinces, there are some provincial funds to assist with training of inspectors … but not the operating cost and caring for the animals.”

The system may not be perfect, but MacDonald said that doesn’t mean the SPCA harasses farmers or abuses its power to reap publicity. Its first priority is to educate pet and livestock owners on acceptable practices rather than seize animals or lay charges, she added. “I think there is this perception that the SPCAs are out there just trying to get everybody they can and seize all these animals. That is just not true,” she said. “They operate mostly as a complaint basis, when somebody has a concern.” Mackay said the province should form a taskforce that comprises the SPCA, government and industry representatives to find a “made in Ontario” solution to the problem. A potential solution might be to borrow from Manitoba’s system, where government employees enforce animal welfare laws. “We think there are some good models, including the Manitoba option,” she said. “You’ve got veterinarians and ministry of agriculture staff responding to farm calls, (which) I think is a really responsible approach.”

CATTLE SALES | PRICES

Prices reflect hot bull demand Bull prices up | Sale managers say price average is up by about $1,000 BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Springtime not only welcomes a new calf crop, but it is also bull sale season, with consignment or private sales scheduled every day of the week. More producers are responding to a hot commercial cattle market by thinking about replacing their old bulls and finding replacement females. Prices are reflecting the demand. Sale managers’ reports show the market has improved considerably in the last two years with averages up by about $1,000 at many events. “Everybody is pretty happy these days,” said Joanne Anderson of Bouchard Livestock at Crossfield, Alta. Rob and Gail Hamilton’s annual sale April 2 at their ranch near Cochrane, Alta, was an example of the renewed optimism. The sale offered 110 Black Angus bulls and 30 replacement heifers with an average of more than $7,000. It could be one of Canada’s top purebred sales this year. “It was the highest sale we have ever had,” said Rob Hamilton. “With the price of calves the way it is today, the value of buying a good bull has increased as well.” Eleven bulls sold for five figures with the top being HF Rebel 53X at $95,000. Named after their son’s

junior hockey team, the Red Deer Rebels, the bull went to Stevenson Angus of Hobson, Montana, and two other American partners. The second high seller is staying in Alberta, being sold to LLB Angus of Erskine for $51,000. HF Thunderbird, named after their son Wyatt’s University of British Columbia team, fetched $30,000 from Poplar Meadows Angus owned by Frank and Dianne Stromboli of Topley, B.C. The Hamiltons also offered 30 replacement heifers that averaged $4,000. While the family’s bulls are often selected by some of the continent’s elite seedstock herds, they also have a wide commercial base. “The Angus new standard is early gestation with low birth weight and high weaning weight,” Hamilton said. “It fits in with every commercial cattleman’s agenda.”

ANIMAL WELFARE | ENFORCEMENT

Tim Hortons defends animal welfare Manitoba welfare model seen as more objective policy on sow gestation crates BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Despite pressure from animal welfare organizations to act on gestation stalls, Tim Hortons is taking a balanced and realistic approach to the issue, says a company spokesperson. In late February, the Humane Society of the United States called on Tim Hortons to modernize its supply chain and begin buying pork from farms that don’t use gestation crates. “People simply don’t support the lifelong confinement of farm animals in tiny crates,” said Matthew Prescott, food policy director for the humane society’s farm animal protection division. “When it comes to addressing cruelty to animals, an issue that American consumers feel strongly about, Tim Hortons is severely lagging.” In April, the company released a sustainability and responsibility report that included changes to its animal welfare policies but did not make specific promises regarding

sow gestation crates. Instead, it said it wants to work with the pork industry, producers and animal welfare experts to develop alternative housing systems over time. Tim Faveri, Tim Hortons’ director of sustainability and responsibility, said the iconic Canadian company doesn’t want to impose housing policies on the hog industry. “What we firmly believe in is engagement with the industry and with experts. We’re not the type of organization … that will go out and make broad statements if we know they’re not achievable.” Tim Hortons’ engagement policy, which encourages the hog industry to move away from gestation crates, isn’t sitting well with the humane society. It owns a small number of Tim Hortons shares and will ask the company at its annual meeting in May to disclose the feasibility of using bacon and pork products from pigs that aren’t from operations that use gestation crates. The humane society said it would prefer if Tim Hortons followed McDonald’s lead, which announced

in February that it will require its pork suppliers to phase out sow stalls. “McDonald’s wants to see the end of sow confinement in gestation stalls in our supply chain,” said Dan Gorsky, senior vice-president of McDonald’s North America supply chain management. “There are alternatives that we think are better for the welfare of sows.”

TIMMY TIDBITS • Tim Hortons is the fourth largest publicly traded fast food chain in North America, with 4,009 restaurants, including 714 in the U.S. as of Jan. 1. • In March, Tim Hortons released a video on YouTube illustrating how it is working with farmers and suppliers in Ontario to ensure that eggs in its supply chain are produced humanely in enrichedhen housing systems, a system with larger, furnished cages. Its animal welfare video can be found at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=T8g01HNlrRM. — Source: Tim Hortons

Chief veterinary officer says they are able to provide an objective ‘evenhanded approach’ to enforcement BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Manitoba is on its own when it comes to regulating animal welfare, says the province’s chief veterinary officer. Unlike most other jurisdictions in Canada, where the provincial SPCA handles welfare investigations and law enforcement, the Manitoba government takes a more direct approach. “We deliver animal welfare enforcement directly through the office of the chief veterinary officer. We do animal welfare for both farm animals and companion animals,” said Wayne Lees. Most U.S. states follow the SPCA model. In Manitoba, a small group of fulltime government employees in the chief veterinary office manage the program. They contract out the front-line

work to about 60 vets, animal welfare technicians and other qualified people, who investigate and report on animal welfare complaints and tips. Lees said an advantage with this approach is that inspectors aren’t employed by a charity. “Our staff handle (cases) in what I would call … a very evenhanded approach. SPCAs sometimes get linked with animal welfare lobby groups,” Lees said. “In Manitoba’s model, you get people who approach the situation extremely objectively. We’re not trying to advance any particular agenda.” Crystal Mackay, executive director of Farm and Food Care in Ontario, said the officials who investigate complaints regarding cattle, pigs, chickens and sheep probably have a better understanding of the livestock industr y’s protocols and practices.

BULLS | BREEDING INFORMATION

Buyers must examine whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under the hood ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

Breeders provide detailed information on their bulls so read up before you buy

attle producers are telling me that a close examination of the Breeding Soundness Evaluation form is warranted. All conscientious breeders make these forms available before a sale or at the point of delivery. Some parts of the form may be m o re a p p l i c a b l e t ha n o t h e r s, depending on the specific use of the bull. Has the bull just passed its test in one or more categories? Does its scrotal circumference just make the breed minimum? Do other specific things catch your attention, such as removed warts, old cuts on the penis or a previous frenulum? Is there any issue with its feet or legs that could affect future use? No bull is perfect, and the most important question on the form continues to be: â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the vetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion, is the bull considered satisfactory on that day?â&#x20AC;? Other issues are comments about softer testicles, a size difference in the testicles or the penis not extending out of the sheath. No protrusion could simply mean there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough stimulation or

too much stimulation, but it could also mean a physical problem, such as erectile dysfunction or scarring of the penis to the side of the sheath. Sometimes we may see a large swelling in the sheath, which indicates a potential problem. I have even seen a couple of bulls over the years with a wart on their penis that was so large that it was unable to protrude. The occasional bull goes down before we can stimulate it much, and these are unlikely to protrude as well. It is ideal to see the penis every time. Bulls that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protrude can be tranquilized after the semen sample is collected so that their penis extends passively. A veterinarian I know does this, and he can then honestly say he has seen the working apparatus. Many of the smaller issues that we all comment on may not really have much of a detrimental effect on bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; breeding ability. The veterinarianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment of softer testicles is still subjective. It may identify a problem or could simply be the variation we see between bulls. Producers who test their herd bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semen every year can compare evaluations year to year to compare differences. Decreased results may be a sign of an increasing morphological defect or shrinking testicles and may indicate impending failure the following year. Bigger testicles may yield a greater serving capacity as long as libido is good and the bull is physically sound. However, I have seen instances where abnormally large testicles were detrimental to breeding ability, so bigger is not always necessarily better.

BEEF CATTLE RESEARCH COUNCIL | FEEDLOT CALVES

Research looks at lameness LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Researchers at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine are undertaking five projects to explore and reduce lameness in newly arrived feedlot calves. Funded by the Beef Cattle Research Council, the projectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goal is to better understand the incidence and types of lameness that affect feedlot animals, particularly P3 necrosis, which affects the outside claw of the hind foot. In a recent news release, the research council said lameness has many potential causes, among them genetic predisposition, frostbite, foot rot, nutrition, infection and injury. Research will explore the causes with the goal of developing preventive strategies. Researchers include Murray Jelinski, John Campbell, Chris Clark and Gregg Adams. P3 necrosis typically occurs within one to seven days of an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival at the feedlot. This reduces performance, animal welfare and economics. The condition causes a split at the top of the hoof, and the hoof wall

often sloughs off within weeks. About half those infected recover and the rest are euthanized because of animal welfare concerns and treatment costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disease is sporadic but tends to cluster by truckload and feedlot pen,â&#x20AC;? said the news release.

The Breeding Soundness Evaluation form provides buyers looking for quality bulls with plenty of medical and performance data. | FILE PHOTO Some bulls reach puberty a little later in their first year, so the yearling semen evaluations will on average be below the quality of bulls two years old and older. This is not really comparing apples to apples. As well, most yearlings will be running with fewer cows. As a result, we need to compare semen evaluations between bulls of the same age group. Producers should also use caution with bulls that show evidence of seminal vesiculitis. Most of these bulls clear up on their own or with treatment. However, some will never clear up and it is important they have a clean bill of

health before they are used. Most veterinarians will stain the supposed recovered sample and check closely for white blood cells to make sure there has been a complete recovery. As always with semen evaluations, it is usually a good idea to check libido and ability to breed by observing the bull in its first few matings. Producers who need bulls with higher serving capacity should closely scrutinize the ones that just pass the semen morphology or just make the breed minimum for scrotal size. Talk to the breeder if there are any questions. They are more than happy

to help select a bull that best fits a producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. Characteristics such as polled-horned, colour dominance, carcass characteristics and genetic testing can all be discussed. A lot of data is available on bulls these days. The trick is identifying the most important information for the purchaser and making selections based on that criteria. The old adage that you pay for quality definitely holds true in the bull business.

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.

SOWS | GROUP HOUSING

Barn design understands sows Open barn behaviour | Well designed barn caters to social groups BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Open sow barns used to fail because the designs were not pig friendly. Agricultural engineer Kase van Ittersum says open barn systems have made significant strides since they were introduced 30 years ago. Designers now understand more about sow behaviour, he added. Van Ittersum designs and sells a system that includes electronic feeding stations and open plans where the sows can form social groups, feed without disturbances, rest and get exercise. “A lot of group housing systems were set up wrong,” he said during the annual Alberta Pork Congress in Red Deer March 28-29, where his system was on display. “They don’t think from the animal point of view.” Van Ittersum represents the European company Nedap Velos, which manufactures electronic livestock management systems. He helps design and incorporate these systems in existing and new barns. All new barns in North America have switched to an open system in the last five years, and his customers have found no decline in production. An electronic system can provide

farmers with more information because it records weights, amount of feed consumed and warnings about which sows are in heat using radio frequency ear tags and antennas mounted in the feeders. Staff can also use an electronic wand to read the ear tags for other management information. The barns are designed so that large groups of sows can live together and move freely to the feeders, resting areas and eventually to breeding stalls and farrowing areas. “We need a minimum of 100 sows in a group,” he said. “It gives enough space for them to walk away if there is an interaction and things are being settled without them hurting each other. If it is a big group, they can be anonymous in that group.” A gate closes when a sow walks into the feeding station so that no others can push or shove it away. An antennae reads the sow’s tag and delivers a specific amount of food based on the sow’s size. Water is also available there. Sows rest on concrete, and the atmosphere in the barn is quiet. They tend to stay with their own group of four to seven and rest in the same place all the time, which makes it easy for staff to find individuals. “The biggest challenge I have had is convincing people this is animal wel-

fare driven and it is actually a higher performance system.” Naysayers may have experienced a poorly designed system, he said. Gilts in a well designed barn are trained to use the feeders and become used to the social groups. About one-quarter of new pigs figure out how the electronic feeders work in the first day when introduced to the system. It may take the rest of them up to a week to understand. Sows may fight to get fed if there aren’t enough feeding stations. About 40 sows per station is reasonable. “Group housing for sows in my opinion is the better way of doing it,” van Ittersum said. European countries are passing laws to force producers to switch from sow gestation stalls to open barns, but van Ittersum thinks food companies will mandate the change in North America.

“It will be retailer driven here. I can’t see it becoming the law,” he said. Researchers in the European Union are working with government and farmers to make the switch to open barns easier. Holland is banning individual sow stalls by 2013, said swine welfare researcher Herman Vermeer of UR Livestock Research in the Netherlands. He told the recent Alberta Farm Animal Care Association annual meeting in Red Deer that the United Kingdom and Spain have used group housing for several years while Denmark and Germany are in transition. Southern Europe is further behind. The law will require sows to always be in groups except a week before giving birth. Each sow should have 2.25 sq. metres of space, but they can have 10 percent less space if there are more than 40 sows. He said 75 percent of Dutch farms

had already switched to group housing and the remainder are in transition or are leaving the business. Research shows farrowing rates and piglet survival are about the same as in traditional systems and there is no difference in growth rates. By monitoring the number of scratches and wounds on each pig, researchers have found that those in stalls had fewer injuries than those in open systems because they faced less aggression from dominant sows. Some farmers complained productivity declined in open systems. “Every system can function with good and bad results,” Vermeer said. There is room for improvement in housing and farm management to make it work better, he added. “We found good results for all kinds of systems. We found the management of the pig farmer is most important,” he said.

Food processors explore emerging Asian markets Deals in progress | Western Canadian group returns from latest trip BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Officials leading a series of trade missions to Southeast Asia say the trips are slowly but surely securing new investment and markets that will benefit Western Canada. Delegates from provincial food processing associations in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia returned to Canada at the end of March from a two-week trade mission. They met with officials in the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam interested in procuring beef and grain products from Western Canada or gaining entry into the country for their own goods. It’s the fifth trip the Saskatchewan Food Processors Association (SFPA) has led since 2010 under an interprovincial partnership dubbed the Export Enhancement and Investment Project. The initiative was projected to bring $13.5 million in sales and investment when it was launched, but project manager Ken Ziegler of GPC Capital Corp. offered an unoffi-

cial tally of $25 million. Ziegler, a lawyer with a background in international trade and immigration, said the biannual missions are a proactive approach to brokering partnerships. “There’s lots of people that produce wheat. Why the hell would you buy wheat from us rather than Australia or the United States or Brazil or some place else?” said Ziegler. “Par t of the answer to that is because people tend to do business with people that they know and that they trust and with whom they have relationships.” In the Philippines, where the initiative has made repeat visits, Ziegler said the group followed up on discussions that could see an investor interested in Canadian beef imports set up shop in Canada to deal directly with producers. “Is this good for producers in Western Canada? I hope so,” said Ziegler. “It gives them a market that they haven’t had before and a market of 100 million people within the country of the Philippines and hundreds of millions within the region.” Other discussions he outlined

involve cereal grain exports and the possibility of supplying a manufacturer that produces leather products for automobiles. “It’s an opportunity basically to create new markets for existing products,” said Ziegler. The most recent mission, funded by Western Economic Diversification Canada, saw delegates meet with Vietnamese food processors and make a first-time visit to Indonesia, which has already been targeted for the group’s next mission in November. “It did gives us a real insight into the market. We managed to make some incredible contacts,” said Darrel Schneider, the SFPA’s chief operating officer. Key to the project, too, is succession planning. They’re looking for the future owners for Canadian food companies,” he said. “The fact that they’re moving here, they’re going to facilitate two-way trade a lot quicker than you or I could.” Ziegler said the project will bring a group of delegates into Western Canada in May.

CROP INSURANCE | WARM TEMPERATURES

U.S. farmers resist urge to rush corn planting CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Many U.S. farmers are waiting for crop insurance coverage to kick in before getting too aggressive in planting corn early, resisting the temptation presented by record warm temperatures this spring, a top agronomist said last week. “The short-term weather forecast is favourable in terms of no expected heavy rains, but a cool off in temps may dampen some spirits,” said Robert Nielsen, a state extension corn special-

ist with Purdue University in Indiana. “Most have been impatiently waiting for the April 6 insurance date before getting too serious about planting corn,” he added. While Indiana farmers had seeded one percent of their corn as of April 1, nationwide farmers had planted three percent, matching the earliest start on record since 1999. Some farmers took advantage of summer-like temperatures in March, brushing off crop insurance dates,

which do not kick in until the first or second week of April. Farmers aim to get their corn planted by mid-May, because yields tend to drop after then. But heavy spring rains and flooding have put them behind in recent years. “Risks to early planting include uneven stand establishment if soil moisture and temperature are not favourable, damage from a severe frost, or freeze event once the plants have elevated above the soil surface.”

BIOENERGY | CARINATA

New crop shoots for the skies Oilseed for aviation fuel | Contracts offer $12.50 per bushel plus $40 per acre new crop incentive BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Promoters of a new oilseed insist growers won’t experience the same payment problems that occurred with camelina. Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. and Paterson Grain have entered into a long-term partnership for the commercial contracting and distribution of carinata. The crop will be marketed under the brand name Resonance. Paterson has contracted about 6,000 acres of the crop with about 40 growers for 2012. It will be the first commercial acreage of the industrial oilseed. Farmers have been stung before when rolling the dice on a new oilseed. Some growers who planted camelina a couple of years ago under contract had trouble getting paid for what they harvested. But that won’t be the case with carinata said Patrick Crampton, vicepresident of business and product development with Agrisoma. “You’re not going to get into an overproduction situation. There’s a big demand for this, so it’s a crop that’s going to have some stability of pricing,” he said. Once the jet biofuel industry takes off

he anticipates there will be demand for millions of acres of carinata. North American airlines flying to Europe need a jet biofuel to meet the European Union’s looming carbon tax regulations. The U.S. air force and U.S. navy have established a goal for half of their fuel to come from biofuel sources by 2020. That’s why Crampton thinks carinata has the potential to be a core oilseed in rotations in some of the more challenging farming areas of southern Saskatchewan and Alberta. Another thing that should give growers peace of mind is knowing that carinata has the backing of Paterson, an established western Canadian grain company. Crampton said Paterson was a logical choice for a marketing partner. “They’ve got a strength in identity preserved contracting and are well positioned in our target geography,” he said. The marketing program will initially be focused on three of Paterson’s high throughput grain terminals located in Dunmore, Alta., Swift Current, Sask. and Assiniboia, Sask. “Not only does Resonance represent an excellent new crop opportunity for growers by giving them a via-

ble alternative for their rotation and enhancing their incomes but also allows growers to participate in the flourishing bioenergy sector,” said Keith Bruch, vice-president of operations for Paterson Global Foods. Canola versus carinata Kevin Hursh intends to plant about 100 acres of carinata on his farm near Cabri, Sask. in 2012. Part of the enticement was being on the ground floor of a new crop but he has a vested interest in carinata because he is executive director of the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission, which invested money in the development of the crop. “I probably wouldn’t have grown it if I didn’t think it could provide a competitive return,” said Hursh. Producers signed contracts in January at Crop Production Week for $12.50 per bushel plus a $40 per acre new crop incentive. It was a competitive offering back then. “ Wi t h c a n o l a p r i c e s s u r g i n g upward in recent times, canola still probably might pencil out better at the end of the day,” said Hursh. But he likes that he will be able to straight combine carinata versus

swathing canola and that he doesn’t have to be as concerned about contamination from wild mustard, stinkweed and canola seed as he does when he grows mustard. His biggest concern is that the Resonance seed multiplied in Chile over the winter makes it back to Canada in time for seeding. Crampton said some of the 50 acres of seed that was planted in 2011 has been crushed and converted into jet biofuel that will be used in an upcoming test flight. The initial product offering is a conventional crop that yields about 15 to 20 percent more than oriental mustard checks. Agrisoma is developing a stacked trait genetically modified version of the crop that will offer growers better yields and other agronomic advantages. It could be rolled out in three or four years. Agrisoma has two people on staff to help growers with any agronomic challenges they may encounter during the growing season. A toll processor will crush the 2012 carinata production but if the anticipated demand materializes, Agrisoma will be searching for a partner to build a dedicated crushing facility in the brown soil zone region of Saskatchewan or Alberta.

Passionate farmers on a mission to improve and succeed THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

ichard Vignola has one of those jobs you never knew existed, but would love to have. “We’ve been at this for 32 years now, and it’s still pretty sweet,” says the B.C. entrepreneur. “We get to shake hands with the people who buy our products and we get to shake hands with the people who grow them. So we make this human link. That’s what we do and why we travel the world.” Vignola, wife Sue and children Simon and Natalia operate Rancho Vignola, which sells $3.5 million worth of fresh nuts and dried fruit to buying groups.

Their business is seasonal. Orders, the minimum is $500, start going out in November, and when the shipping season concludes a few months later, the warehouse in Armstrong shuts down and the Vignolas hit the road. They have visited almost all of the 60 farms they buy from, and scouted hundreds more. There’s an organic cranberry supplier in Quebec and a B.C. hazelnut operation, but many are abroad in California, Bali, Australia and Vietnam. Last winter, Vignola even went to the Amazon rainforest to watch Peruvian farmers harvest Brazil nuts. Accounts of many of these trips can be found at www.ranchovignola. com. However, most of the farms he visits are regular family operations. Well, not quite. Vignola contracts only from farms he considers special, and they must score high on two counts. “The quality of the product comes first, but then it’s the people and their story,” he says. “By telling these stories, our food

becomes very different and is no longer a commodity. The food and the story of the food go together.” For example, there’s dried cranberries from Quebec’s Fruit d’Or in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes. The story here is of two farmers and their partners who, instead of pressing the juice from cranberries and using sugar solutions to sweeten them, created an “infusing vat” and use organic apple juice as a sweetener. Stories like these make for a powerful marketing strategy. “I think this is the future of food marketing,” says Vignola. “We see that with our customers. They’re very loyal and won’t buy

almonds at a big chain store because they’re cheaper. They buy them from us because they know where they are grown and they feel a connection, through us, to the grower.” This theme has driven the local food movement, but a slick website or a tweet about fresh-picked veggies won’t make a story powerful, says Vignola. There has to be a lot more than marketing wiles at work. Vignola says the farmers he buys from are driven. Some dedicate themselves to turn the commodity they produce into a value-added product. “For example, I’ve found California farmers have a much better idea of value-added,” he says. “So you find almond growers who are doing further processing, such as chocolatecoated or flavour-roasted.” For others, it’s a quest to create healthier soil or find varieties or production methods that best suit their locale and growing conditions. Vignola says his organic producers have a sense of mission. In fact, he says, that’s the common

thread linking the most innovative farmers he’s met on his worldwide travels. “A good farmer is always a passionate farmer,” he says. “That passion is central, it is No. 1. It’s what drives that person, the thing that motivates them every day. It makes them want to be better, to find a way to improve, and it makes them constantly ask themselves, ‘how can I do this better?’ ” That may sound romantic, almost old-fashioned. But it’s not. Look at those farmers who excel at something, whether it’s selling direct from the farm, precision agriculture or achieving the highest margins, and you’ll find someone who is relentless about doing better. There’s no item labelled “passion” on the balance sheet, but it’s the most valuable asset on some farms. Archived columns from this series can be found at www.fcc-fac.ca/learning.

Canola bioproducts firm sells assets to Bunge Created at U of S | ‘The time is right to pass it on to a major processor’, says MCN president SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MCN BioProducts Inc., a Saskatoon-based company focused on canola protein, has sold most of its technology assets to Bunge Limited. A price was not disclosed. University of Saskatchewan researchers David Maenz, Henry Classen and Rex Newkirk formed MCN. It developed a patented process to manufacture canola-based ingredients for the aquaculture and animal feed market. “We have taken this technology from the lab bench to the processing floor and proven the commercial value of our new canola-based products,” Todd Lahti, president and chief executive of MCN, said in a news release. “The time is right to pass it on to a major processor with worldwide operations.” Miguel Oliveira, executive director of Bunge Global Innovation, said Bunge has the expertise and network of plants to commercialize the process. “Importantly, the new concentrates are produced via a patented enzymatic water-based process that can be added to an existing canola and rapeseed crushing plant without affecting oil quality or yield,” he said in a news release. After spinning out from the university, MCN received seed capital from Foragen Technologies, an agricultural technology venture capital firm. Investments followed from Saskatchewan’s CIC Investment Management, GrowthWorks and FCC Ventures.

MIGUEL OLIVEIRA BUNGE GLOBAL INNOVATION

Can Pro Ingredients, an alfalfa and canola processing plant at Arborfield, Sask., was the only company licensed to use MCN’s process and MCN had shares in Can Pro. Francis Rodier, chief executive of Can Pro, said in an interview he hasn’t talked with Bunge about the future. “I think it will be a good thing for Can Pro. It will give some clarity and we can move for ward with our plans.” “We are basically a pilot plant, really. We are the first ones in the world doing this, the first ones to use the licensed technology of MCN, so have been breaking ground a lot.” It’s canola operation worked for about a year, cold pressing seed and processing the meal. There was good demand for the protein product, he said. The plant hasn’t handled canola for about a year because of the high cost of seed, but Rodier said the company is looking at resuming operations this fall. With machiner y upgrades, it should be able to function at 100 percent. He said he is excited about potential new high value uses of the canola protein, such as being a component in environmentally friendly glue.

Cyber classes keep rural schools alive

The long road to Bike Town An Alberta town’s quest | Rebranding efforts boosts tourism, promotes fitness, say locals BY MARY MACARTHUR

BY DIANE ROGERS

CAMROSE BUREAU

FREELANCE WRITER

A plan to brand Devon as Bike Town Alberta took off faster than an out-of-control mountain bike racer. It can take years of round table discussions, public consultations, surveys and plenty of money to create a brand, but it took this small town on the outskirts of Edmonton only 18 months to claim the name, build a mountain bike skills course and create a pedestrian and pedal friendly community. Branding a town isn’t for the faint of heart, Devon’s Janet Guthrie and Michelle Levasseur told a Growing Rural Tour ism conference in Camrose. When the pair was hired as economic and tourism development co-ordinators, they were told to make Devon grow and attract people. The town had already made three previous attempts to brand the community and make it stand out from other prairie towns: The River of Gold brand was a nod to the nearby North Saskatchewan River Valley, the Botanic Gardens was a connection to the nearby Devonian Botanical Gardens and a third brand was an oil and river combination no one really understood. All three brands failed to take hold. But then six members of the community attended a workshop on branding and had epiphany to create Bike Town. It seemed like a natural fit. The town already had 24 kilometres of paved and groomed bike trails, cyclists and national biking competitions. Bike Town quickly had the support of town council and the mayor. A leadership team was created to help move the branding program forward. “Branding by consensus really doesn’t work,” said Levasseur. Not having consultation raised the ire of a group of protesters who Levasseur and Guthrie called cavers: citizens against virtually everything. The protesters wrote letters to the editor, started a petition against the Bike Town brand, developed an anti Bike Town Facebook page and

SASKATOON — The high school in Val Marie, Sask., was unable to gradu at e s t u d e nt s t h re e y e a r s a g o because it lost its English teacher. Similar situations in the sparsely populated southwestern corner of the province led the regional school division to develop a distance education network to ensure schools wouldn’t close, students could stay close to home and teachers had full classes in their specialty subject. The Chinook Cyber School has since developed a relationship with 18 schools in an area the size of Nova Scotia and with 14 teachers who help it deliver 54 essential and optional courses for high school students. It helps that the cyber school’s staff are local teachers who understand that there are times when many of the students will be helping with harvest or branding and need flexibility with their school work, said Shelby Budd, principal of the online school. She told the 17th National Congress on Rural Education in Canada that the school offers three ways to deliver courses by computer: • A video conference offered at the same time to several schools to teach courses, often math and science, with the teacher in one school face to face with students across the region. Questions can be immediately asked and answered. • Online courses, often optional ones, are offered anytime the students access them, with the teacher serving as a resource if there are questions. • Continuous intake allows students to come in at any point to pick up essential courses during a calendar year rather than just the school year. Budd said this works well with those who need to quickly complete one or two courses to get their high school diploma for a job and with hockey players who because of their playing schedule often miss regular class instruction time. Budd said the technology doesn’t always work properly and students must be monitored, but cyber school can build pride and connections.

The town of Devon, Alta., is calling itself Bike Town to attract tourists to the area. | drained the enthusiasm of organizers. What the town didn’t count on was the enthusiasm of a group of junior high school boys. If Devon was going to be Bike Town, the students wanted a one-acre mountain bike skills park. In turn, the town challenged the students to help raise money to build the park. The students went one step further and nominated the project for the Kraft Celebration Tour to win $25,000

and host a live broadcast of TSN SportCentre. “The kids worked their butts off to win the campaign,” said Guthrie. The teenagers did much of the volunteer work to build the skills park, she added. “Momentum had a whole new meaning.” A Bike Town twitter account caught fire in the cycling community. A cycling association was formed, cycling events planned,

new businesses catering to cyclists opened and signs and trail marking projects started. Guthrie said the key to keeping the momentum going was a group of enthusiastic residents who believed in the project, especially when the town started to splinter with the anti-Bike Town protests. “The last six months have been mentally and emotionally exhausting,” said Guthrie.

Ranchers process from pasture to plate Avoiding middleman | Goal is to move from working with a butcher to building their own abattoir BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BJORKDALE, Sask. — Scott and Marie Greenwood are making a habit of breaking the mould. They’re entrepreneurs — as most ranchers are — but in the last year and a half, they’ve added online proprietor to their list of duties, using the internet to sell their natural grass fed beef across the province. It’s a unique business model that doesn’t come with a handbook. “That’s what we want to eat, so I thought, ‘I’m sure other people want to eat it,’ ” said Scott. “We’ve tried it and it’s taken off.” It’s a Saskatchewan-based story that begins in British Columbia. The family made the trip, along with their three girls and a liner load of cows, from Prince George, B.C., to Saskatchewan in the mid-1990s after the province received a positive review from friends. “This was very similar to what we left behind,” said Marie of the family’s home, nestled in a shady spot among pine trees outside of Bjorkdale. Scott said the province offered the family what B.C. couldn’t: a chance to expand the business. “We had a ranch over there, but we couldn’t expand. The land was too expensive,” said Scott, who also worked in the B.C. logging industry, a skill that came in handy once the family settled in Saskatchewan. The family harvested trees on their property, hauling them to mills in Prince Albert, Sask., Hudson Bay, Sask., and Carrot River, Sask., to supplement income from

their farm and ranch operations. Scott eventually moved away from farming. “I could see that this place was more suited to grass and cattle.” He began to rebuild the herd. “We sold everything that wouldn’t go into the cattle liner (when we moved),” he said. Scott’s business has grown from the 30 cows he brought to 220 today. The family has expanded during a time when many of their neighbours were leaving. “Within a 10-mile radius of our place, we figure there’s 1,800 to 1,900

cows that have left in the last thee years,” said Scott. He credits some of his perseverance to thinking outside the box. First, he had success selling liner loads of calves online, which inspired his next move: raise cattle, finish them to his specifications, partner with a butcher and sell the product online himself. That’s when Greenwood Springs Ranch made its online debut. Today, the Greenwoods’ customers can use the family’s website to place orders for a variety of hormone- and antibiotic-free beef from

cattle that were grazed on pesticidefree pastures. However, they’re not organic producers. “Organic is a lot of paperwork. We are not paperwork people,” said Marie. “It’s got to be the best quality, but not by anybody but our own standards, which are higher than most.” Adds Scott: “Every year I take out a pasture and I’ll work it down and seeds oats in there and then I feed the greenfeed off of that. That’s what they would get if they were to get anything other than grass.” The Greenwoods use the website to make arrangements for pickups

and deliveries. With current market prices advancing, Scott estimates he receives a five percent premium over rail grade. This year, he expects to sell 50 cows this way, while moving another 150 through the commercial market. His goal is to eventually be self-sufficient, which has him thinking again. Now he wants to build his own abattoir and bring the whole process in-house. “I just like being independent. If you’re trying to sell into that auction market mentality, you’re not independent anymore,” said Scott. “You’re at their mercy, and I don’t like that.”

SWEET PEAS | STARTING INDOORS

Extra early work worth the effort IN THE COUNTRY GARDEN

ALBERT PARSONS

Experiment extends the season for sweet peas

Sweet peas can be started indoors if proper care is taken. |

PARSONS PHOTO

or many years, I watched fall frost kill my sweet peas, even though they were still blooming. My Zone 2 garden often gets a

frost in early September. How maddening to see the plants cut down just as they were coming into peak production. A few years ago, I wondered if sweet peas could be started early indoors like other annuals. Garden centres rarely offer sweet peas as spring bedding plants, but I decided to experiment. On April 1, I planted sweet pea seeds in reused plastic cell packs: the large ones whose cells are about six centimetres square and eight cm deep. Using a soilless mix, I planted one seed per pack. Sweet peas object to being transplanted so I wanted to avoid having to transplant seedlings into pots after the seeds germinated.

I germinated the sweet peas in my light garden, although since then I have also germinated them on the south-facing windowsills of my allseason sunroom. Higher temperatures speed germination. I kept the planting medium moist and within two weeks, germination had occurred. It was rather sporadic but I was able to pop the plugs out of the cell to create full packs of seedlings. I had planted more than I needed so I was not worried about the few seeds that did not germinate. I did notice that the seedlings grew quickly and before long became tall and spindly. Now, as soon as two or three sets of true leaves have developed, I pinch off the top of each seedling just above the second or third set of true leaves and then move the plants to the outdoor cold frame. There, the seedlings are subjected to full sun, cooler temperatures and lots of fresh air, producing sturdy plants. The seedlings, after being pinched back, bush out to produce plants that have four or five stems each. I feed and water the seedlings regularly until about May 1, when I plant the seedlings into the garden. I choose a cloudy day to reduce stress on the plants. The plants are easily popped out of the cells without disturbing the roots and are planted about 15 cm apart along both sides of my permanent sweet pea fence. The first sweet pea buds appear by the end of June and by early July, I have enough sweet pea blooms for a bouquet. The plants continue to bloom until frost, and if the first frost holds off until later in September, my sweet peas will have pretty much bloomed themselves out. I now don’t shed a tear as Jack Frost claims them in the fall because I will have enjoyed fully two and sometimes almost three months of bloom from my “started indoors early” sweet peas.

PARTY FAVOURITES | RECIPES

Angel food cake: a light dessert with heavenly toppings TEAM RESOURCES

JODIE MIROSOVSKY, BSHEc

ll three of our children were born in the spring. They often have their parties over the Easter holidays because they claim that there is “nothing else to do” or we are constantly hearing, “I’m bored.” I tell them that only boring people get bored, and despite the many spring jobs I suggest, apparently they would rather plan a party. Angel food has been the traditional cake of choice in our family. As a child, I always remember getting confetti angel food for my birthday, complete with coins wrapped in waxed paper. This is not common practice anymore, perhaps because the kids expect too big of a payback and the coins got too heavy. I remember a quarter being the big prize. Angel food cake is a delightful, light dessert because it contains no oil and only egg whites and is often served with fresh fruit, especially strawberries. This is different from sponge and chiffon cakes, which contain the entire egg. In the past, women were often judged on their baking expertise on how well their angel food cakes turned out. I must admit that I almost always make mine from a box. My kids even know how to make them and have learned their counting skills based on the mixing times. We like to jazz things up when it comes to angel food cakes and add toppings with the fresh fruit.

FARM LIVING

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

As a new grower, Joel Comer looked to a co-operative to help launch his fledgling operation. The Creston, B.C., producer is one of 20 members of the Naturally Grown Herb and Spice Producers Co-operative. He and his wife are university graduates who have returned to his parents’ former cattle farm with plans to create an operation that includes honeybees, pigs, chickens and burdock. “For us, having a really diverse operation on your farm creates stability,” he said. “Having burdock and working with a co-operative is another segment of a diverse farm.” Burdock, which is used as a flour replacement and general tonic, will be planted on top of 300 waste bales. That allows for easy access to the roots at harvest and also prevents the invasive species’ spread to his and nearby farms. Joining a co-operative allows small producers like Comer to produce enough to satisfy manufacturers’ demands. He said other benefits include sharing equipment, education, funding to pay for food safety training and the board of directors’ knowledge and support. “Having a co-op there to do the marketing creates opportunities out of nothing,” said Comer. The British Columbia group is one of a diverse array of co-ops across Canada that are being celebrated as part of the United Nations international year of co-operatives. More than 9,000 co-ops operate in Canada with 18 million members. The Canadian Co-operative Association reports that co-ops employed more than 155,000 Canadians last year and held assets of more than $370 billion. The herb and botanical co-op does primary processing, direct sales to

manufacturers and value-added development, said president Jeanette Lee. She said the 20 growers create enough volume and a consistent supply for manufacturers and provide assurances on food traceability and how food is collected. “A single grower typically can’t produce enough for a manufacturer,” said Lee, who grows herbs and botanicals such as hawthorn, cascara sagrada, birch, fungi and elderberries near Edgewood, B.C. The co-op runs a website and organizes forums where members can discuss diseases, cultivation, organic principles, policy and procedures. Training workshops cover topics such as value chains and on-farm food safety. Lee said members don’t need to be certified organic, but must incorporate organic principles into their

growing practices. The group is working on developing hawthorn-based products with the University of Toronto and Royal Ontario Museum, which is considered an authority on the plant. The universities of Alberta, British Columbia and Okanagan and the British Columbia Institute of Technology are conducting trials and measuring and isolating the plant’s chemical compounds. Lee said the goal is to combine hawthorn into medicinal products and measure whether Canadian hawthorn is equivalent or superior to hawthorn grown in other parts of the world. Lee said the co-op promotes environmental sustainability and biodiversity by intercropping. The abundance of hawthorn in the province makes it a natural choice for propagating and developing plant stock for the agro forestry industry.
