NOT THEIR FIRST RODEO

Albertans shift support to Wildrose BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Recent Alberta election polls suggest rural voters are divorcing their traditional Progressive Conservative political partners and taking up with Wildrose party candidates. It is a shift that likely has its roots in a c c u m u l a t e d P C g ov e r n m e n t actions over the last 40 years, rather than one coherent Wildrose position, said University of Alberta political scientist Roger Epp. He thinks rural Albertans haven’t envisioned a viable alternative until this election’s emergence of another small-c conservative party. “Wildrose has the advantage of somehow capturing some of the public imagination and is still at the stage where people can project different things onto that party,” said Epp. “Somehow, things seem to have reached a tipping point where it’s possible for people in rural Alberta to imagine voting for a candidate other than a candidate of the Progressive Conservatives.” SEE WILDROSE POPULAR, PAGE 2

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT | BUDGET CUTS

Gov’t axes shelterbelt program Ag research centres closing | Federal budget cuts will trim more than 1,000 positions from ag BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

More than 1,000 federal agriculturerelated public servants will lose their jobs over the next several years because of budget cuts, say affected unions.

The positions include researchers, food inspectors and technical support staff. Community pastures once operated by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration will be turned over to provinces or the private sector as well

as the shelterbelt program at Indian Head, Sask. Agriculture Canada’s agricultural environmental services branch, which swallowed the PFRA in 2010, is being gutted and moved into a new Science and Technology Centre.

Research centres, including the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg, will be closed within two years along with smaller research stations across the country, including in Delhi, Ont. BUDGET CUTS, PAGE 2

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT | FROM PAGE ONE

Budget cuts affect ag Researchers there have been trying to turn tobacco plants into genetically modified pharmaceutical carriers. Co-operative support programs within Agriculture Canada are being slashed. At press time April 16, Health Canada was unable to say how many Pest Management Regulatory Agency workers will lose jobs. “These cuts are worse than I had anticipated,” said Bob Kingston, president of the Agriculture Union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. He said 100 or more food inspector positions will be eliminated, including 40 that will be transferred to provincial governments in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, which until now have contracted the service from CFIA. However, the job loss numbers could not be verified because the federal government was offering few if any numbers. Reports of job losses came from affected unions. They are the result of the March 29 deficit-reducing federal budget that hit Agriculture Canada and its affiliated agencies with one of the hardest blows in government: 10 percent of the budget and $310 million in budget cuts over the next two years. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the cuts are ways to find “efficiencies” inside government or to get government out of areas where the private sector could and should be doing more. Research is one of those areas. “When it comes to research, Agriculture Canada has been spending about 75 cents on every dollar,” he said. “We’d like to move to a 50-50 formula at best and maybe beyond that.” He said the shelterbelt tree program and management of community pastures are century-old pro-

grams that need to be revamped. “They have evolved to a certain extent, but that’s something the private sector could deliver in a much more effective way.” The PFRA, which operated the shelterbelt program, was created 76 years ago to help fight soil erosion, which was devastating the Prairies during the 1930s drought. Ritz said it will be a three-year transition to decide how best to transfer those programs to provinces or the private sector. Richard Phillips, executive director of Grain Growers of Canada, which was pressing for more research spending, said the group is unhappy about research cuts, but if the savings come from moving the last few years of varietal development and field tests to the private sector, “we can live with that because the base research on varieties is the priority for public research.” Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said it is difficult to assess the impact of the cuts and determine how much will come from efficiencies and how much will hurt services to farmers. “It is coming to us in bits and pieces and that is frustrating,” he said. As an example, the CFIA was asked for specific job reduction numbers to compare to union claims. It issued a statement April 16. “The Canadian Food Inspection Agency will not make any changes that would in any way place the health and safety of Canadians at risk,” it said, citing promised budget increases while not mentioning plans for CFIA budget reductions in government spending estimates.

I don’t know if they’re actually ready to do that,” though it’s a possibility. Polls show the PC and Wildrose parties exchanging the lead, prompting pundits to speculate on a minority government.

ALBERTA ELECTION | FROM PAGE ONE

Agricultural issues have been absent from the campaign, as they usually are, but rural concern over PC land use bills and power line construction have resonated in the country. Epp said Wildrose has been able to capitalize on that concern, regardless of whether the legislation is as potentially damaging to property rights as has been suggested. Again, accumulated history may be working against the PCs in terms of large-scale development in Alberta and its priority in decision making. Epp also notes that unlike the election that brought farmer Ed Stelmach to power, agriculture lacks a champion within the Alison Redford fold. Voter turnout was below 50 percent in the last provincial election, and even less than that in many rural ridings. “That’s been a sleeping giant in Alberta politics, and it’s waking up. We’ll see what direction it moves in,” said Epp. History is not a predictor of the future, but Epp said Alberta has made

RESEARCH | BUDGET CUTS

Cereal Research Centre falls to budget cuts Research stations to close | Nearly half the jobs will be eliminated STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Government cuts to wheat research are disappointing and will ultimately hinder production in Western Canada, says Grain Growers of Canada president Stephen Vandervalk. “Unfortunately, it looks like the spring wheat program for the black and dark brown soils zones has been slashed by about one-third at a time when the world needs more production,” Vandervalk said in a news release. The federal government informed Agr iculture Canada scientists April 11 that the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg, one of 19 Ag Canada research stations across the country, would shut down April 2014. As details of the closure leaked out April 12, it became apparent that 41 of the approximately 100 positions at the Cereal Research Centre would be cut. The remaining jobs will be transferred to other centres. “Some will move to the Morden Research Station and some will move to the Brandon Research Station,” said Robyn Benson, Public Service Alliance of Canada regional executive vice president. “How they (the government) are going to manage it, I’m not sure.” Grain Growers said research into rust and Ug99 at the Winnipeg centre will continue at the new locations. Wheat breeders at the Winnipeg

STEPHEN VANDERVALK GRAIN GROWERS OF CANADA

centre have helped develop some of the most popular spring wheat varieties in Western Canada, including Harvest, Unity, Superb and Kane. Its closure and the staffing cuts suggest the federal government no longer wants to be in the business of developing wheat varieties, said Richard Phillips, Grain Growers executive director. “There is a clear indication here that they are moving the government out of pursuing research through to varietal development.” Blair Rutter, Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association executive director, didn’t criticize the government’s decision, but said the cutbacks to wheat research are concerning. “From what I understand, about a third of the Winnipeg program will be cut back,” he said. Farmers don’t care if public or priv at e m o n e y i s s p e nt o n w h e at research, he added.

“Our concern is that we want to see research investment. It doesn’t matter so much who does it, as long as it’s there. Right now it’s not there,” he said. “There’s more pressure on the private sector, which includes farmers. Certainly farmers are making their contribution and we just need private (companies) to step up to the plate.” An Agriculture Canada spokesperson said the Cereal Research Centre was an aging building, and moving scientists to other centres in Manitoba will achieve operational efficiencies. “Although the building is closing, the work done there in germplasm, genomics and pathology research for wheat will continue at our Morden facility and the work done in pathology for other small cereals will continue at our Brandon facility,” the spokesman said, adding the government remains committed to wheat research and breeding. As an example, the government has invested $8.2 million to the Canadian Wheat Breeding Cluster, a Western Grains Research Foundation initiative. It’s not clear how much money will be saved by closing the Cereal Research Centre. The government spokesman said the savings are part of the 10 percent reduction in Agriculture Canada spending over the next three years.

The imminent closure of Agriculture Canada’s Cereal Research Centre, on top of the loss of the CWB monopoly, has many in Manitoba convinced that Winnipeg’s 100-year reign as Canada’s grain capital is officially over. “It (the closure) certainly sends a bit of message that … Winnipeg will no longer be a driving force in the wheat world. I hate to say that,” said Rex Newkirk, Canadian International Grains Institute (CIGI) director of research and business development. The Winnipeg research centre, which is slated to close in two years under federal budget cutting plans, is a significant asset for CIGI. Scientists at the centre specialize in wheat and oat breeding, plant disease resistance and cereal quality. Newkirk said CIGI used them to reassure international customers that Canada has the expertise to develop and produce high quality wheat and other grain. “The industry is here and you’ve got the breeders and market development here,” Newkirk said.

“Having us all in close proximity was very, very valuable…. They (Cereal Research Centre staff ) could come over here and work with our international clients.” The loss of the Cereal Research Centre may also kill a long hibernating plan to build a centre of grains excellence at the University of Manitoba. The centre, which has been talked about for seven years, would have put the Cereal Research Centre, CIGI, the Canadian Grain Commission and the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre in one building, thus creating a powerful crop and market development facility. However, plans to revive the city’s grain industry are now “hanging on by fingernails,” said Jon Gerrard, provincial MLA and leader of Manitoba’s Liberal party. “This has to come together very quickly or it’s gone. And Winnipeg as a centre for grain research goes. I’m very fearful that CIGI will go. What we have had and built up over the last century, in terms of Winnipeg as the centre of the grain industry … is just

being eroded.” Gerrard said the provincial government has failed to invest in wheat research and failed in its commitment to the grain industry. In comparison, the Saskatchewan government invested $10 million in wheat research earlier this winter. Manitoba’s inaction on wheat research has stalled the development of the grains centre of excellence, Gerrard said. “The provincial government didn’t come forward aggressively, promoting and supporting it, which they should have done.” A government spokesperson said the province would continue its efforts, in partnership with industry and the federal government, to pursue the new grain centre. However, Gerrard said the province’s relationship with the federal government blocks progress on these types of projects. “There has been, too often, a tendency of the current NDP government to blame the federal government, rather than work with them.”

CO-OPERATIVES | BUDGET CUTS

End of support programs to co-ops ‘misguided’ BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Canadian co-operative leaders called it a “disturbing signal” from the government about its lack of regard for the importance of the cooperative movement. New Democratic Party agriculture critic Malcolm Allen called it a “ruthless” and “misguided” government decision that will hurt rural development. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said it simply is a reflection that the co-op movement is big and healthy enough to stand on its own. As the implications of the deficitreducing March 29 federal budget trickled out last week from affected unions and interest groups, sharp reductions in federal co-operative support programs were part of the picture. Staff positions at the rural and cooperatives secretariat within Agriculture Canada will be cut to 15 from 92 over several years. And the $4 million annual Cooperative Development Initiative, created in 2003 to help new and expanding local co-ops, will be axed. The cuts come in the midst of the United Nations-sanctioned International Year of Co-operatives, supported by Canada and whose Cana-

dian launch in January came with a speech from Veterans Affairs minister Steven Blaney. In an April 13 interview, Ritz suggested the sector is strong enough that it does not need taxpayer subsidy. “When I think of the co-operatives, they tell me they have a net worth of $385 billion in Canada,” he said. “I’m not sure why they ask for $4 million from taxpayers to write books about the history of their coops and that’s predominantly the applications we are getting. I think this could be done at a whole different level than taxpayer money.” Brigitte Gagné, executive director of the francophone division of the Canadian co-operative movement, said the decision to cut the CDI and federal co-op staff was a lack of recognition of the importance of the sector in the country’s economy. “The cuts in the CDI program and the rural and co-operatives secretariat send a very disturbing signal for all Canadian co-operatives,” she said. “We don’t understand this decision in light of the program’s success. We are now waiting for a concrete gesture on behalf of the (prime minister Stephen) Harper government to show its support for the cooperative sector.”

Canada is challenging a World Trade Organization panel ruling against U.S. country-of-origin labelling. The WTO dispute settlement body ruled in November 2011 that COOL violates U.S. trade obligations. The U.S. announced its appeal of that decision March 23. Canada also filed an appeal at the end of March, saying that if the dispute panel finds in favour of the United States, it must still rule on other points Canada raised in its initial challenge. The original WTO panel did not rule on some of Canada’s arguments because it accepted the basis of the challenge and thus considered additional arguments redundant, said John Masswohl, director of government and international relations with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. The CCA is working with the federal trade department on the COOL file. Masswohl said the appeal is pro forma and expected in any trade dispute. It says that if the WTO dispute settlement body finds in favour of the U.S. on appeal, Canada wants it to also consider several points made on its original challenge that were not previously addressed.

JOHN MASSWOHL CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

Masswohl said Canada disputes the part of the original ruling that indicates COOL had a legitimate objective within the WTO agreement on technical barriers to trade. Canada argues that the U.S. could have taken less restrictive measures to meet its stated objective of informing consumers. “We actually think that they could achieve the objective through a combination of mandatory and voluntary, which they did not try,” he said. Masswohl said oral hearings on the appeals are scheduled in the first week of May. The appeal body is expected to give its report to governments no later than the end of June. Adoption of the report by WTO members is expected by the end of July. Masswohl said he had no predictions on the outcome, but the U.S. appeal doesn’t appear to point out any errors in the panel’s original interpretation. “An appeal is not supposed to be

another kick at the can, which the way I read the U.S. submission, that’s all they’re doing,” he said. “But I suppose the appeal body could see things differently than I do.” In another wrinkle involving the WTO ruling against COOL, the U.S. Department of Agriculture last week withdrew a letter from U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack that formed part of the original WTO complaint. In the letter, dated Feb. 20, 2009, Vilsack suggested voluntary action on COOL in addition to that already legislated. The WTO found in November that the letter “went beyond certain obligations under the COOL measure, and that the letter therefore constitutes unreasonable administration of the COOL measure.” In withdrawing the Vilsack letter from the equation, the USDA said it had found compliance with COOL in the U.S. was high so there is no need for additional regulations. COOL, which came into effect in 2008, calls for labelling on various meat products to indicate their countries of origin. The rules forced American packers to segregate animals and meat from Canada, discouraging them from buying Canadian product and costing Canadian cattle and hog producers millions in lost sales.

AG POLICY | NEW MODEL

Feds tout insurance-based plan Risk management | Insurance would replace current farm supports BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

As agriculture ministers prepare for an April 20 meeting in Ottawa to talk about a new five-year farm policy framework, federal minister Gerry Ritz has an agenda for change. He said April 13 that during the past several years of federal-provincial negotiations, which are supposed to culminate with an agreement in Whitehorse next September, he has been pushing for significant changes to the farm program model. Ritz wants a “cross-compliance” model that forces farmers to selfinsure before they are eligible for public support. And the minister is promoting an insurance model that he said would reduce problems farmers have with existing programs including a lack of payments in the “whole farm” model and program payment caps. In the farm community, there also is speculation that Ottawa would prefer an insurance component to disaster payments through AgriRecovery, limiting government exposure. At the end of March, finance minis-

I’ve been a promoter of the insurance-based program all along. It gets you away from the whole farm program, it gets you away from the cap. GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

ter Jim Flaherty used his budget to announce that federal-provincial negotiations for a new five-year farm policy agreement called Growing Forward “will include a refocused suite of business risk management programs.” Last week, Ritz offered ideas on what the refocus could mean while noting that the final result will depend on provincial and territorial agreement. He said a move toward producer insurance coverage on production would deal with the complaint that the existing AgriStability “whole farm” system favours farmers with one crop rather than a number of

crops that often can mask losses on one commodity and reduce or eliminate payments from the program. Also, it would end the cap on program payments that has irritated larger operators, as well as smaller operators who argue the cap is so high it send most money to the large. “I’ve been a promoter of the insurance-based program all along,” said the agriculture minister. “It gets you away from the whole farm program, it gets you away from the cap. I think livestock insurance as opposed to AgriStability, for example, would probably answer a lot of those questions.” Ritz also said farmers should have an obligation to protect themselves with insurance and not just expect a government payment when things go wrong. Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett agrees and said he doesn’t dispute that policy direction. “If we’re going to have government support with premium assistance on insurance-type programs, then I think there has to be a commitment from farmers on it as well,” he said.

CANOLA | PRICE OUTLOOK

CHINA IMPORTS | OUTLOOK

Can new crop canola price hold? Record production prospects | New crop oilseeds generally supported but optimism is flagging BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Old crop canola futures have rallied about $122 per tonne or 24 percent since the start of December and new crop has rallied about $90, or 19 percent. It’s been a good ride for canola growers, but can it last? Canola’s rally appeared to flatten out since the beginning of April, and analysts are assessing whether the rally is sustainable or near the point of reversal. Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications thinks new crop canola prices are hitting the blow-off point and farmers should look to cash in. “Bull markets have a lifespan and they eventually tire and exhaust themselves, it’s just a matter of when,” said Anderson. “We’re going through those throes now.” However, Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions said there is strong fundamental support for both old crop and new crop prices, even if prices are high. “It looks like the oilseed market is going to be very tight all the way out until next February, when you get the next South American crop,” said Driedger. “There’s a lot of genuine tightness in the market. At what point is it fully priced in? At what point have we overdone it?” Anderson thinks the rally in newcrop futures is already well overdone. “The only reason new crop is so high is because of the squeeze on old crop,” said Anderson. The structure of canola prices is a complex mixture of old crop fundamentals, new crop fundamentals and world macroeconomic factors that affect future oilseed demand. Disentangling those factors is the task of analysts, and weighting each factor is a challenging task. Anderson thinks new crop prices are overvalued because today’s seed shortage isn’t likely to exist six to eight months from now. Farmers plan to seed a record canola area and will likely have better growing conditions than last year’s flood-ravaged production. Yet the rally in new crop canola

China’s hunger for canola to continue BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Small plots of canola dot land within the city of Chengdu, China, population 14 million. China can’t grow enough canola to meet its needs and its strong demand for Canadian seed and oil is supporting old crop canola prices. But expectations for a record Canadian crop and slowing Chinese growth threaten new crop canola values. | BARB GLEN PHOTO prices have only slightly lagged the pace of the old crop price rally. Despite the two starkly different fundamental situations, the price patterns are similar, which is a warning sign. Driedger isn’t convinced new crop prices have become unreasonable. U.S. soybean acreage is likely to be surprisingly small this spring, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture report, and South America’s production was well below expectations at the beginning of the winter, which means there is no reason to believe new crop canola will be oversupplied. Also, oilseed analysts Oil World last week estimated the European Union canola crop at 18.5 million tonnes, down 600,000 from last year and a five-year low, due to frost and disease. That will raise dependence on Canada’s crop. Driedger won’t attempt to peg the likely peak of canola prices, and Anderson said a continuing old crop

rally to $650 could temporarily drag new crop futures prices to more than $600. Driedger said market prices already reflect much of the tightness of new crop oilseeds, but it is hard to assess if it is all accounted for or perhaps even exaggerated. “There’s a reason why values are strong, but whether (peak prices) are $580 November futures or $600 or $620 is something you never know until afterwards,” said Driedger. Anderson’s pessimism about canola prices is partly based on his dire outlook for global equity markets. Much of the value of canola and other crops comes from the strength of the overall commodities market, and that strength relies a lot on the power of the recent U.S. stock market rally. The rally had a big setback recently, and Anderson thinks it will worsen. Without that market optimism lifting all ships higher, Anderson thinks all asset prices, including canola prices, could suffer a significant set-

back. His advice is for farmers to price now. “There’s no need for canola prices to go higher,” said Anderson. “Farmers have the golden goose already.”

Prairie farmers should be safe from China’s slower economic growth, says the chief economist of Export Development Canada. Peter Hall said China’s troubles that are rattling global investors probably won’t become a crisis, and agricultural imports might see no impact at all. “It’s usually the most recessionresilient export category that you can find, and while other things might take a hit, that one’s not going to,” he said. “There definitely is a slowdown going on in China. A lot of it is selfinflicted.” It grew at 8.1 percent in the JanuaryMarch quar ter. That would be impressive for most countries but for China, it is a three year low. China is an important market for Canadian crops and meat. It is the number one canola customer, a significant consumer of Canadian pork and the main driving force behind the commodity bull market that has driven all commodity prices for the past decade. Whatever affects China affects commodity prices dramatically. Analysts and investors have anxiously watched China for most of a year as its economic growth rate slows. The debate among analysts has been whether China, which has needed to cool off parts of its economy and lower inflation, would be able to pull off a “soft” or “hard” landing. A soft landing is when economic growth slows or temporarily stops as problems are sorted out and then begins another extended growth period. A hard landing is when economic growth slumps and new problems are created by financial crisis, as has happened with the United States and

reached those lofty levels is the questionable demand prospects. Sales to Mexico, Canada’s biggest customer, are down 62 percent at 12,810 tonnes for the first seven months of 2011-12 compared to the same period the previous year. Nobbs said that is partially because of Mexico’s increasingly stringent protocol for unwanted weed seeds but it also has a lot to do with the country being oversupplied with the product. Buyers decided they better stock up when Mexico introduced the weed seed protocol. Imports from Canada in 2010-11 were 58,942 tonnes, up 44 percent from the previous year. “They bought and bought and

bought, thinking their markets were going to get shut down,” said Nobbs. Exports to Brazil, which is usually the third biggest customer for Canadian canaryseed, are also down because of increased competition from Argentina, where farmers are planting more canaryseed out of frustration with export duties on wheat and soybeans. “I hardly hear of any Brazilian business going on,” he said. Nobbs said container shipments to the European Union are also down because of tight credit. Sales are down 14 percent from the previous year. “Banks are forcing people around the world to run their inventories down,” he said. He said it hasn’t reached the critical level yet. “I don’t think anybody is too worried about running out of canaryseed. They’re sure not acting like they are, anyway.” However, at some point buyers may be forced to restock, which could cause a surge in prices, especially if there are production problems in Canada. Nobbs thinks the Agriculture Canada forecast of 260,000 acres, which is a small crop, is accurate given the lack of calls Canpulse has received from growers inquiring about finding seed or new crop contracts. “The phone isn’t ringing off the hook by any means, so I don’t think the acres are going in,” he said.

China’s growth rate has slowed but not stalled, and Hall thinks it can pull off stabilization tricks that are not possible in most western countries. “I’d be worried about China if they didn’t have the monetary and fiscal capacity to restimulate their economy,” said Hall. “If anybody does, they do. They will keep reinitiating stimulus programs as they need it until the world gets back on its feet.” Hall expects the rest of the world, led by the U.S., to begin the next growth cycle at the end of this year.

PRODUCTION | OUTLOOK

Tight supply may keep canaryseed prices steady The canaryseed outlook for 2012 is a strange combination of bullish and bearish factors, says a processor of the crop. “It’s kind of a seesaw. It’s going to go one way or the other,” said David Nobbs, general manager of Canpulse Foods. On one hand, supplies are extremely tight and look to remain constrained in 2012-13. On the other hand, demand is sluggish. Agriculture Canada forecasts p l a n t i n g t o r i s e 1 1 p e rc e n t t o 260,000 acres in 2012 but a 20 percent decline in total supply because of a paltry 5,000 tonne carryover from 2011-12. “The average price is forecast to decrease from the 2011-12 level but remain historically high,” said the department in its latest pulse and special crops outlook. Nobbs thinks supply will be so tight that prices aren’t likely to dip. “We’ve cleaned up a lot of our hidden stock inventory,” he said. That has caused canaryseed prices to appreciate by one or two cents per pound over the last few weeks. “I see (prices) as very firm all the way through this next year. I think canary is a good bet,” said Nobbs. He said prices reached 40 cents per pound in 2002 when carryout was a lot higher than what is now projected for the end of 2011-12.

Weather troubles stalk European crop MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

Production prospects look good in Canada, U.S., but troubled in Europe

t is early yet, considering most Canadian farmers have yet to turn a wheel, but it might be a year when North American grain production booms while Europe and Ukraine struggle. That could mean downward pressure on crop prices generally, but Canada might have little competition in the canola export market and will have opportunities for durum and wheat sales in the Mediterranean region. The U.S. hard red winter wheat crop has seen a complete turnaround from when it was seeded last fall and drought was a serious concern in the southern U.S. plains. Crop condition ratings now are much better than last spring. Spring seeding in the United States is rushing ahead faster than usual, and moisture levels are generally good with more rain expected this week. In Canada, a few western farmers have started seeding in much better conditions than last year. Without the problem of flooded fields, about six million acres will return to production. Statistics Canada will release results of its farmer survey on planting intentions April 24. Everyone expects a record number of canola acres. The western Prairies entered spring dry. Recent snow and rain improved the situation in wide areas, but some places like southern Alberta and parts of the Peace could use more rain.

EU SOFT WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECAST IS DOWN

4.3 million TONNES So overall, things look good in Canada and the U.S., but forecasters in the European Union are already cutting their outlooks. Winter frost caused more damage than expected. Also, it is dry in parts of Britain, France, Spain and across the Mediterranean in Morocco. Last week, French analyst Strategie Grains cut its forecast for EU soft wheat production by 4.3 million tonnes to 126.8 million tonnes. That is a bit smaller than last year’s 129.1 million tonnes. The group cut the outlook for barley by 1.1 million tonnes to 52.4 million, still up one percent on last year. It cut its durum forecast by 600,000 tonnes to 7.8 million, down six percent from last year. Several million acres of winter crops will be plowed up and reseeded with spring corn and barley. Oilseed analyst Oil World last week estimated the EU canola crop at 18.5 million tonnes, down 600,000 tonnes from last year’s disappointing harvest. However, recent rain has for now stopped the crop deterioration in Western Europe, and some analysts say it is too early to cut production forecasts. Ukraine also suffered frost damage to its winter crop, and a lot of acres will be reseeded to corn and barley. While the wheat harvest is down, the country has a lot of carryover stocks that should allow it to maintain a good export pace in 2012-13. Russia’s crop is expected to about equal last year’s, so it will continue to be a strong competitor. Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @ darcemcmillan.

FED CATTLE LOWER

FEEDER FALL SLOWS

The loonie was a little weaker, the “pink slime” controversy died down and U.S. cash cattle prices rose, but Canadian packers had a comfortable supply and were able to bid lower with a large cash offering available. The weekly Canfax average price for steers was $109.37 per hundredweight, down 38 cents, and heifers averaged $109.10, down 87 cents. Alberta rail grade sales were $182$183.75. American packers showed good interest. Trade totalled 13,917 head, up 17 percent from the previous week, but 20 percent lower than last year. The mid-week cattle futures rally pushed the Alberta fed cash-tofutures basis to widen to –$10.57. Western Canadian fed cattle slaughter for the four-day week ending April 7 totalled 24,244 head, down 26 percent from the previous week. Western fed slaughter to date is steady with last year.

The feeder market shows signs of stabilization following a four-week price decline. The Canfax average steer price was down 66 cents per cwt. and heifers fell 20 cents. Short keep feeders were 50 cents lower. Steers heavier than 900 pounds have strong price resistance at $1.30 per cwt. Commercial auctions in Alberta highlighted special replacement female sales, selling on a per head basis. Seed stock heifers are trading $1,000-$1,290 per head. Because of the holiday, some preEaster sales were included in this report’s auction volumes, which totaled 25,318.

COWS WEAKER Fewer cows were offered, but the weak fed market stalled cow prices. Bids have pulled back on cull cows that look to be pregnant. D1, D2 cows ranged $72-$82 to average $76.50 per cwt. D3 cows averaged $69.50 and the $7 spread is the narrowest this year. Rail bids edged higher to $148-$152 delivered. Weekly exports to March 31 totalled 3,167, down 12 percent from the previous week.

Weekly feeder exports to March 31 totalled 6,227, up 39 percent from the previous week. Heifer marketings should rise soon as producers liquidate females that won’t make the replacement cut. Increasing cost of gain could further widen the steer-heifer price spread. Improved moisture adds optimism. A few bred cows and pairs traded. Cow-calf pairs traded at $1,800 and higher, while bred cows were fairly flat. Better moisture conditions and steady feeder cattle markets will support cows and pairs.

BEEF PRICES LOWER Encouraging beef sales were reported on the Easter weekend, but demand in the United States has

been generally weak, causing cutouts to fall as much as $4. Values are seven percent down from this time last year. Packers are hoping for beef demand to pick up now that Easter is over. Select cutouts were at a slight premium to Choice late last week. Canadian cut-out values were unavailable. Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was anticipated steady at $212-$214 per cwt.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS STEADY U.S. packer operating profits are still in negative territory, but hog prices held steady to slightly weaker because plants had to pay up to get supply. Seeding began in earnest in the Midwest, causing some farmers to set aside hog deliveries. Pork prices fell. Slower growth in China pressured hog futures lower. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs were $60 US per hundredweight April 13, down from $61.25 April 5. The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value

fell to $77.01 April 13 from $78.15 April 5. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter to April 14 was 2.044 million, down from 2.12 million in the same period the previous week.

Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.40-$2.60. In the live market, heifers born in 2011 were $2-$2.50 and bulls were $2.25-$2.75. Feeder bulls and heifers born in 2010 were $2-$2.10.

BISON STEADY LAMBS STRONGER The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.65-$3.90 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.60-$3.90. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 1,106 sheep and lambs and 38 goats sold April 9. All new well-fed light and heavy lambs sold at a premium because of the light offering. Good sheep sold slightly higher. Goats sold steady.

Farmers can expect to receive cheques by May 4 Initial payments for all grades and classes of 2011-12 wheat except durum increased April 12, the CWB said. The increases range from $4.10 to $41.25 per tonne, depending on grade and class. Here are several examples of the increases. No. 1 CW red spring wheat 13.5 percent protein rose $16.35 to $256.10 per tonne at port. No. 2 CWRS 12.5 percent protein rose $19.35, pushing the at port price to $218.35. No. 3 CWRS 12.5 percent protein rose $21.50 to $211.50 per tonne at port. No. 1 Canada Western Extra Strong rose $41.25 to $226.10 at port. Producers will receive payment by direct deposit April 24. Cheques will be delivered for mailing to Canada Post by April 27. Farmers who wish to defer payments have until April 20 to notify the CWB by calling 800-2754292.

TRACEABILITY | TRADE

CRAIG’S VIEW

Cost-benefit study needed for traceability acceptance

ivestock traceability promises many benefits, but Canadian producers have yet to see substantial payoffs to offset its costs. In 2009, federal and provincial agriculture ministers committed to develop a comprehensive mandatory national traceability system for the livestock industry by 2011. The deadline was missed and there is spirited debate about the value of pursuing the goal. Some say traceability is a global unstoppable force and Canada’s livestock industry risks falling behind and losing markets if it does not make real progress implementing its plans. Others note there is little agreement among international buyers about what traceability should be and point out that the United States has, without a mandatory traceability program, regained markets lost since the BSE outbreak of 2003 while Canada still struggles. And University of Manitoba food safety specialist Richard Holley says traceability is mostly for show and does little to improve food safety. So what is it: a critical component of food safety and a tool to build international demand for Canadian beef or a waste of time and money? Traceability appeared the best way to restore reputation and win back markets in the desperate days after BSE was found and the world shut its doors to Canadian beef, causing beef and cattle exports to fall to $2 billion from $4 billion. European countries developed a traceability system in the wake of their BSE disaster and the idea gained traction internationally. So Canada set out to build a mandatory livestock identification and traceability system. There were several selling points: help control and eradicate disease, improve market access, encourage consumer confidence, promote product differentiation to give Canadian beef a marketing edge and allow production and genetic

herd improvement if information is shared from packer to producer. However, it was never enthusiastically embraced by all beef producers, packers and provinces, which contributed to the slow progress. Aspects of traceability have helped in some cases, such as avian flu outbreaks. But Holley says there are better ways to protect the public from food-borne illness, such as developing a national database on food-borne outbreaks and their causes that would let public health officials react quickly. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz says Canada is still ahead of other beef exporters, despite the delays in developing traceability. As well, he says the system has helped Canada in trade discussions in reopening markets. However, the U.S. is also regaining markets, although it efforts in traceability lag far behind Canada. People like John Weekes, a board member with the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, whose mandate includes finding markets for Canadian meat, bemoans the reluctance of the beef industry to embrace and promote traceability. It does not need to be perfect to attract the interest of buyers, he says. But Robert Meijer, president of Canada Beef Inc., the key national promoter of Canadian beef, says traceability was not an issue when he was in Asia talking with customers. Some did not even know what it meant. Meijer has trouble identifying the payback for the costs of traceability and suggests it is time for a cost-benefit analysis. With strong prices and good global demand for beef, Canada’s cattle industry wants to rebuild to its pre-BSE level. Traceability might be a tool to help it attain that goal, but to be accepted, it must meet this industry demand: show me the money.

FEDERAL BUDGET | AGRICULTURE

Conservative mandate seeks returning roles to the private sector THE NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

ederal budget 2012 and its wide-ranging implications for agricultural bureaucrats and programming is a powerful statement from the majority Conservatives about unnecessary government and the power of the private sector. In a nutshell: Ottawa and government over the years have taken on roles that should be turned over to private interests.

This has been the core of the Reform/Alliance/Conservative message since the anti-government movement came out of Alberta in 1993. The federal budget and its agricultural cuts are just the latest manifestation. How can the government justify research cutbacks at Agriculture Canada? Easy, since the private sector has been putting in just 25 cents for every 75 federal cents, says agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. Besides, all that federal money was simply discouraging private investment in the next generation of primary research. “We know that the private sector is more than interested in getting involved but we have to step back to allow that to happen,” he said.

Moving the celebrated PFRA shelterbelt program and community pastures out of federal jurisdiction over the next several years is simply a reflection that they are programs “the private sector could deliver in a much more effective way.” Cancelling much of the federal support for co-operative development and support programs is justified because they are major players in the economy with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets. They don’t need taxpayer help. This is the on-the-ground transformation of the scope of government under the Conservative watch. It follows the Conservative decision late last year to end the government-created Canadian Wheat Board in favour of a private sector grain sector.

It follows a budget decision to pull back Canadian Food Inspection Agency oversight of non-food safety product labelling. And then there is the federal argument that the next generation of federal-provincial farm programs should limit government financialsupport exposure. This would happen in part by requiring farmers take more responsibility for covering market losses or natural disaster events through insurance. These all are small pieces of a bigger agenda, a Conservative belief that government has too big a footprint in the economy and society. It is based on a belief the state has become too big and that programs created decades ago should be reviewed to see if they are necessary

in the 21st century. It is based on a belief that government programs have become too imprecise, scattering money where it is not needed or not effective. Sharp international aid funding cuts reflect that Conservative complaint. Despite protests from the injured special interests, no one should be surprised. The Conservatives under Stephen Harper have moderated from their Reform roots but the “government is too big” ideology has been a staple for decades. True, Conservatives ran a record deficit and hired tens of thousands of new civil servants in their first five years of power but that was then. Now they have a majority and the program is being implemented.

& OPEN FORUM PROPERTY RIGHTS | COMPENSATION

EDUCATION | AGRONOMY

Alta. needs to fully debate property rights BY JOSEPH QUESNEL

he Alberta government has completed its landmark property rights consultation with Albertans. The Property Rights Task Force heard from 1,400 Albertans, and the province wasted little time in responding to its recommendations. Provincial environment minister Diana McQueen, who chaired the task force, said Albertans want more vigorous consultation, compensation that reflects current values and “more resources available to them when faced with negotiating over land or property encroachments, including access to the courts.” The task force proposed to create a property rights advocate to find appropriate solutions to concerns. For those unfamiliar with recent Alberta politics, the task force was part of the government’s response to increasing and mainly rural concerns about Alberta land legislation: bills 19, 24, 36, and 50. Without getting technical or taking sides, many said the bills affected rights to compensation, access to the courts or centralized land use planning. Credible legal authorities who care about property rights argue these concerns are overblown. Whoever is right, it is heartening to hear Albertans debate property rights. In common law, individuals own all the land from the surface to the centre of the Earth, except for mineral and water rights. However, laws passed by provincial legislatures can

Expropriating land for such uses as power line construction has been a hot button issue in Alberta. | FILE PHOTO change rights that we might not even know we had. More public consultation, clear compensation and access to dispute resolution mechanisms are all important, so on the surface there’s nothing wrong with the province’s stated intentions. Once we figure out exactly how a real-life property rights advocate works, that could be positive. The provincial government should not feel it can now shut down the debate. The government has said it will review the Expropriation Act and Surface Rights Act, which should extend to the grounds under which governments may expropriate at all.

Neither provincial governments nor municipalities should expropriate for vaguely defined purposes, including nebulous economic development. This vague process is frequently abused, given that governments define the category. The crown is the theoretical holder of all underlying title to land in this country. Our common law evolved to restrain this power because an interpretive presumption exists that legislatures intend expropriation to include compensation rights. However, legislatures can change this right. “It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the legislature should not

confer the power of expropriation … unless it is clear that the power is inescapably necessary in the interests of government and that adequate controls over its exercise are provided,” the University of Alberta’s Institute of Law Research and Reform wrote in 1973. Governments have not always heeded this advice. The report says that even in the United States, where property rights are expressed in the constitution and government is empowered to confiscate private property for public use if it is compensated, the definition of public use has been expanded well beyond its original purpose. The Alberta government discovered ordinary people care whether their democratically elected legislature protects property rights. They want governments to make it harder, not easier, to seize their property. One major way to force governments, at least in theory, to think twice about property seizure is the reality they will have to compensate private citizens. One answer is to remove the temptation to not pay by amending the Charter of Rights to include rights of compensation in such a way that it affects only Alberta. At the same time, public use could be clearly defined to avoid the problems that U.S. landowners have discovered.

FARM PROGRAMS | CHOPPING BLOCK

AgriInvest may be short-lived in boom times HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

griInvest could be a casualty as the federal government looks for places to cut spending. Th i s caution isn’t based on inside knowledge of government decision making. It’s more a recognition that the program has bad optics and is difficult to defend. With decent grain prices, it doesn’t take a large farm to generate allowable net sales of $500,000. You deposit 1.5 percent, $7,500, in an AgriInvest account and government matches the $7,500. As a farmer, what’s not to like? Some people call the program NISA Lite. It’s modelled after the former Net Income Stabilization Account,

but NISA allowed matching contributions of up to three per cent of allowable net sales, whereas AgriInvest is only 1.5 percent. The other big difference is that producers can remove the money at any time. There’s no trigger. An income drop was required to access NISA money, and there was an interest rate bonus of three percent to encourage producers to let the account build. Even during tough times, many producers didn’t touch their NISA money, which led to the program’s downfall. How could you justify additional government assistance to farmers when they weren’t even accessing their NISA money? AgriInvest has a different problem. It’s billed as protection for producers against small declines in income, but producers have unlimited access to the funds. A lot of AgriInvest accounts at financial institutions earn only one percent interest, so if you’re actually saving it for an income downturn, you might as well put it into some other safe investment where you can double the interest rate.

The program would accomplish the same result and require a lot less administration if the government just sent the 1.5 percent directly to producers as a cheque. Perhaps requiring the matching producer contribution is meant to sanitize the subsidy, deflecting criticism from taxpayers. The truth, however, is inescapable. Governments are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to producers each year whether they need it or not. In good income years, the money probably contributes to increased farmland values. There may be 10 or 20 percent of eligible producers who aren’t using AgriInvest, but this is due to ignorance and neglect rather than morals about taking government money. I feel a bit guilty getting AgriInvest money, but I’ll take mine as long as others are getting theirs. How should non-farmers view AgriInvest? An unmarried wage earner making $45,000 a year will pay $7,500 a year in income tax, the same amount flowing to a farmer with allowable net sales of $500,000.

Government contributions to a producer are capped at $22,500 a year (allowable net sales of $1.5 million). You might be able to sell that to taxpayers and governments when farm income levels are ugly, but how do you defend it when many of the recipients are having their best years ever? There’s a key difference with the other major farm safety nets: crop insurance and AgriStability. Payments flow only when a producer has a shortfall. AgriInvest is similar to some of the American farm programs we like to complain about, which pay out in good years and bad. There are producers with an entitlement attitude who believe governments owe them a living. There will be some howls of protest if AgriInvest is slashed. Producer complaints over the loss of NISA led to the establishment of NISA Lite. Unfortunately, the current incarnation has again become difficult to justify.

Learning doesn’t take a vacation EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

alm Springs does not exactly leap to mind as the first place to study agriculture. I admit to having been much more interested, at least at first, in the azure pool and bright flowers just outside the little hotel room we booked for a week of R & R. However, as that burned-out feeling began to lift, I found myself wondering about the Coachella Valley, which seemingly could not exist in its present state without significant irrigation. You only had to walk four blocks from our hotel to see the parched desert, punctuated by scrubby plants and big boulders. What could survive out there? Yet water sources are more significant than you might think. The vall e y , w h i c h rea c h e s f ro m Pa l m Springs to the Salton Sea, is fed by the Colorado River system, which feeds an underground aquifer. This source irrigates the area’s farmland, consisting of at least 60,000 acres (some sources estimate higher.) Snow melt from the surrounding mountains also contributes water. Those acres grow an amazing variety of crops. Dates are the most dominant, and are celebrated throughout the valley. The region grows 95 percent of the country’s dates, as well as a breathtaking list of other food that includes citrus fruits, peppers, artichokes, pomegranates, avocados, cucumbers, peaches, radishes, spices and even grain. None of this, of course, would be possible without irrigation. The 350 days of sunshine per year don’t hurt either, despite the wilting heat of the summers. I had a bit of a bias when I first arrived — that the Coachella Valley was developed as a playground for the rich and famous, and massive amounts of water were being wasted catering to tourists (including, for the time being, me.) But being California, there are also initiatives to protect the environment and a clear awareness of water issues. There are too many golf courses, but they are mainly using recycled water. There are too many lawns for such a dry climate, but also grants to remove them in favour of xeriscaping. And much of the water goes to successful agricultural irrigation. There might even be a few things we can pick up from those who are living in the desert and learning to conserve, since our climate has its dry years, too. The take-away? You can learn something anywhere you go, even Palm Springs.

Mr. (Gerry) Ritz and Mr. (Stephen) Harper have not conceived of the Canadian Wheat Board correctly in the way it operated for the interests of farmers within the capital market system. The CWB was desired by farmers and won after a struggle to beat the corporate interests at their own game. Canada would have lost a lot more farmers a lot sooner if it had not been for the Crow Rate and the CWB. Now we are in danger of losing the Canadian Grain Commission, an agency that allows trade of grain on standard

defined qualities. CGC was also won by farmers with great struggle. The majority of farmers know that the CWB farmer-selling agency returned all net sales revenue to farmers. We all shared the revenue from all negotiated sales that were made to all buyers. Thus the maximum market value was pooled back to all farmers from this effort. True, individual farmers might have been able to, on their own, beat this pooled price, which is the individual greed incentive to destroy the CWB. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that farmers were individually free to buy back — at the market price of that day and resell their own grain

— to a willing buyer for more money, so thereby the CWB did not infringe on the farmers’ ability to gain more from the market on their own so long as they did not undersell the market of the day. Not more difficult to do than a futures exchange contract and less risky. But that incentive is eliminated once the single desk selling is lost and is replaced by individual confusion about when is the best time and price to sell. The buyers now hold the negotiation power since they can source the grain from me or some other farmer, making the farmers the ones to compete with each other to make their sales.

pete to fill jobs — union or nonunion — except that job wages have no need to be pooled. Individual farmers’ wheat, CWB or no CWB, is pooled as it gets to the final buyer and these blending benefits are now also claimed by the middlemen and the final buyer. There are substantial problems with a government that will not allow its people to negotiate their pay, legislating them back to work, and forcing them to accept meager pay. This is now the case with selling wheat, due to losing the CWB price negotiation ability, or working for Air Canada. Wheat has now been flat price contracted by a few different farmers from $6.50 to $7.50 a bushel for October 2012. This means that the harvest, if you are lucky to have a harvest, is locked into delivery at that location and on the terms, then applied by the company contract — guaranteed delivery to that company, in some cases crop or no crop — and so that farmer is unable to receive further value increases, as was the case with the CWB. That large variation in price is at the same delivery point for similar wheat. So, the buyer, not the farmer, gains the dollar cost average to purchase the wheat at $7 or the average buying price. Those farmers selling at those wide prices just gambled that value would not increase when they signed for the low price — not that they would have known the future at the time they signed. If they signed for the high price, it was another gamble that the market price would see no further increases. Pure luck is now the operative management strategy for selling wheat. Farmers have that same problem selling canola or cattle or corn on the open market. Over time, pure luck will reduce the number of farmers, since it is a zero sum game. Some will sell for more and some others will sell for less, thus becoming underpaid and unlikely to survive at farming. Oddly, the U.S. government has rich farm support — grain market loan rate programs — to aid farmers faced with such market management situations, while Canada has nothing close to this.

To the Editor: It was very funny to hear the prime minister of Canada imply that the takeover of Viterra by Glencore, already the world’s No. 1 commodities trader, should be viewed as “not primarily foreign.” Perhaps geography is not the prime minister’s strong suit, but his remarks show he did not do the math either. This $6.1 billion deal will potentially see Glencore sell $1.8 billion of Viterra’s assets to Agrium, and Canada’s Richardson International gets $800 million of Viterra’s elevators and other assets. These sales may or may not happen after Glencore owns Viterra. In any case, if all the sales go through, 58 percent of Viterra will be in the hands of a Swiss company.

OPINION So if we take Harper at his word, it looks like Canada is just a province of Switzerland in (his) mind. Decisions affecting Canadian farmers will now be made in a boardroom in Switzerland. Hooray for market freedom. When one looks at Agrium, it may have a head office in Canada but by any standard it is a multinational company. The purely Canadian interest from the Viterra sale will be approximately 13 percent. Hooray for market freedom. It is ironic that the farmers of the Prairies built the prairie pools and United Grain Growers to combat the predatory grain and commodity traders, and now they have been purchased by the very companies they were intended to counter. All in the name of market freedom. It is no coincidence that the demise of the CWB’s single desk has unleashed this buying spree from trans-

nationals, who want to come into Canada and make their money off the backs of farmers. The CWB provided fair market access for all producers and levelled the playing field. The transnationals are acting on the fact that will not be the case now and they have a new opportunity to take money from farmers. Of course, the prime minister will support the sale, as he was the major force behind the legislation that removed the farmers’ elected directors from the CWB, seized farmers’ assets and ensured the single desk was removed. He wanted farmers to go toe-to-toe with the multinational grain trade while proclaiming at the top of his lungs market freedom was here. The collateral damage was that the Canadian grain trade would be for sale in Canada. With the consolidation in the grain

and fertilizer industry increasing and with more sales to come, I hope farmers remember who gave them the freedom to compete against other Canadian farmers in driving their own prices down so they could have the freedom to deal with two or three multinational commodity traders.

I note with interest the article titled, “Putting rural issues on the agenda” (WP online March 30) covering the recent spring convention of the AAMD&C (Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties). A number of councillors interviewed felt that land issues and, in particular, property rights would be a major issue for discussion at the upcoming election.

I totally agree with Don Johnson, MD of Taber councillor and former AAMD&C president, that there is a lot of misinformation out there that has been deliberately spread. This reminds me of the discussions I heard my parents having about the “funny money” proposed by William Aberhardt in the 1935 provincial election. If elected, his government would print its own money and pay every Albertan $25 per month. This won him the election, but of course the money idea never happened because it was not legal for a province to print money. I would hope Alberta voters would not support another misinformation campaign. Thanks to Don Johnson, who really understands what is going on. Harvey Buckley, Calgary, Alta.

acebook, Twitter, blogs, Blackberries and GPS: some of us get it and some of us don’t. For those over a certain age, technology and the massive strides in the communication field can be a mystery — too much change too fast. And do we really need it? Is there any connection between this and our faith? It is as if the world of technology threatens to take over our thinking capacity. GPS now tells you how to drive down a road you once could have followed on the road map. A cellphone puts you in immediate touch in case you forget the shopping list. Your car knows how to park itself. Skype makes it so that young people may travel overseas but never feel like they left home. Who is there to help us determine whether we need these features and whether or not they are assets in our lives? Remember the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden story? It was from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The implication suggested that if you ate this you could become as the gods, knowing all things. The couple ate the fruit, so the story says, and immediately they faced the consequences. Throughout ancient times, people tried to again re-enter the paradise when peace, justice and joy prevailed, but fell short of their goal. In our technological age, it is easy to believe these new devices will be all that we need to find our fulfilment. But what about our God-given capacity for discernment, for using the natural gifts God gives us to live faithfully and fruitfully? Technology can help us, but it should never be allowed to overtake us. Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadian ruralchurch.net.

Ag industry booms as funding drops Economic contributions | Agriculture accounts for 8.1 percent of Canada’s economy BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

On one level, the Canadian agriculture and food sector is booming with high commodity prices, expanding exports and investment. It is the positive message the federal government and industry are promoting in the wake of the 2012 “system overview” report published by Agriculture Canada. The report described an industry that accounts for 8.1 percent of the Canadian economy and two million jobs and is the world’s fifth largest exporter of agriculture and food products. Canada is also the world’s six largest importer of food products. “There’s never been a better time to highlight agriculture’s significant contribution to our economy,” Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Mark Wales said. “Our industry has seen nothing but expansion, increased efficiencies and productivity and modernization.” When the report was released, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz joined the chorus while noting that while the industry is evolving, government support for the sector must change as well. “It wasn’t that long ago that producers and processors were reeling from BSE, H1N1, reduced market access and weather-related disasters,” he said in a statement.

The new era

“As farm businesses evolve to meet changing demand or issues, so too must government adapt its approach to suppor t industr y’s need for increased innovation, market access and reduction of red tape.” The March 29 federal budget signalled some of those changes with cuts in several traditional departmental areas, increased emphasis on international trade and a call for the private sector to increase investment in research. However, beneath the bright global picture, there also is evidence of industry challenges. The farm sector still depends on significant government financial support. During the 2010-11 fiscal year, federal and provincial government spending on agriculture increased to $7.9 billion, 33 percent of the value of the sector’s output. The largest portion of the spending, 41 percent, was for program payments to farmers. Research and inspection spending was significantly lower. University of Western Ontario business professor David Sparling, chair of agri-food innovation and regulation at the Richard Ivey School of Business and a former chicken producer, argues the system’s emphasis on program payments helps keep the sector less competitive than it could be because it allows smaller farmers to

stay in the business without providing an incentive to grow or exit. “In tough budgetary times, you can sometimes use that to make change and if you look at how much everything else about our industry has changed, why wouldn’t we be looking at how we use the limited resources we have?” he said. “I don’t think putting them all into BRM (business risk management) is remotely in the long-term best interest of the industry.” The Agriculture Canada report notes that average off-farm income has almost doubled since 1995 to $41,000 in 2009. Off-farm income continues to exceed net farm operating income on most farms. The federal report also concludes that while agriculture and food are the third-largest contributor to the national economy, the sector’s financial impact during the past 15 years has grown at an annual average rate of just 2.4 percent, significantly less than the overall economy. The value of output from primary agriculture has been growing at just 1.5 percent annually. The report also notes that the largest block of workers in the agricultural sector are 55 years and older, which is older than the general workforce. It means that the sector will have a massive demand for new workers in coming years.

RESEARCH, MARKETING | FUNDING

Farm groups fear farmer fatigue toward checkoffs New checkoffs? | Changes to CWB’s single desk leave funding void for wheat and barley markets, agronomic research BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmer-led grain commissions are becoming a popular way to allocate money for research and market development for wheat and barley. But balancing possible farmer fatigue toward levies on grain sales with a need to fund and co-ordinate research is becoming an issue. It was a key topic when leaders of Alberta’s Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and Manitoba’s Keystone Agricultural Producers met in Winnipeg last week. “We see there could almost be check-

off fatigue,” said Lynn Jacobson of WRAP. “If you get six different lines for checkoffs, you might say, ‘I want it all back.’ ” Doug Chorney of KAP agreed: “You’ve got to be careful.” Eliminating the CWB’s single desk and the drastic reduction of the organization has left a void for funding and directing the efforts of wheat and b a r l e y ma rke t a n d a g ro n o m i c research and promotion. Wheat and barley commissions are being set up in all three prairie provinces, and many believe each province will end up with separate commissions for barley and wheat. And as the CWB void is filled in coming years, more organizations might try

to be funded through checkoffs. Current check-off laws require each province to set up its own organization, even though some have said they would like to see a cross-prairie cereals council established. That won’t be possible for a long time, said Jacobson. “It only makes sense to bring those organizations together at some point in time, but they all have to be set up and running,” he said. Grain Growers of Canada also worries that farmers won’t happily accept a plethora of new checkoffs, even though most want and will support paying money for research and promotion of prairie crops. GGC executive director Richard Phil-

lips said separate wheat and barley commissions could do much to avoid upsetting farmers if they don’t waste money on excess administration. “We have strongly suggested to wheat and barley groups to do a single cereals checkoff and work as a single organization and share resources,” said Phillips. “Why have two fax lines? Why have two offices? Why have two of everything?” Phillips said he has been told that beyond simple administration functions, barley and wheat live in different agronomic and market worlds, so there might not be as much redundancy as many farmers might think. Alberta already has a barley com-

mission and is expanding a winter wheat commission to also include spring wheat. Both Manitoba and Saskatchewan are in the process of coming up with new structures to replace the CWB’s role in directing research and promotion. Norm Hall of APAS said farmers want general wheat and barley research and promotion to be done efficiently and to go beyond provincial lines, but because of the way checkoffs are established and regulated, the organizations will have to slowly evolve toward becoming a bigger body. “It’s like talking about inventing a car when you’re still chiseling out the first stone wheel,” he said.

FLAX | LEVY

National flax industry joins Saskatchewan commission in doubling checkoff BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Flax Council of Canada has joined the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission in doubling its levy. North American crushers and Canadian processors and exporters have agreed to pay a voluntary levy of $2 per tonne for two years starting April 1, up from $1 per tonne. “I think that was a very big show of

support,” said council president Will Hill. “What it’s saying is the industry is strongly behind flax.” The check-off hike for the national association comes on the heels of unanimous approval by Saskatchewan growers to increase the provincial levy to $2.36 per tonne from $1.18 per tonne effective Aug. 1. Hill said the council’s annual operating revenues of $750,000 have been halved by a precipitous decline in flax

acres and production. Growers who planted 1.7 million acres of the crop in 2009 cut back to 695,000 acres in 2011 because of a combination of GMO contamination and miserable seeding conditions in the prime flax growing areas of southwestern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan. “We lost a lot of acres in the last two years,” said Hill. The council has annual research and development expenditures that

would have been put on hold if the levy had stayed the same. The council’s biggest commitment is an initiative to develop a non-genetically modified herbicide tolerant flax crop that has the potential to boost yields by 15 to 20 percent, making flax more competitive with Black Sea flax and other oilseeds in Canada. Five European crushing and handling firms have also contributed $100,000 to that project. Cibus Global, the council’s tech-

nology partner, has completed the first phase of the herbicide tolerance project by proving that its technology will work with flax. The next step is to create plants containing the resistance trait. Commercialization of the technology is expected by around 2017. Check-off revenue will also pay for the council’s market development work, ridding the Canadian system of the GM Triffid variety and other research projects.

PORT OF CHURCHILL | GRAIN SHIPPING

Churchill grain receives funding $9 per tonne | Subsidies offered on a firstcome, first-serve basis to shippers BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TISDALE, Sask. — The federal government has released details of a five-year, $25 million program aimed at boosting the amount of grain shipped through the Port of Churchill in northern Manitoba. Beginning this year, the Churchill Port Utilization Program (CPUP) will offer a shipping subsidy of $9 per tonne to grain companies that ship grain, oilseeds, pulses and special crops through the port. The subsidies will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis with $5 million available each year for the next five years. Eligible grains include wheat, barley, durum, beans, buckwheat, canola, chickpeas, corn, flax, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, rye, safflower, sunflower and triticale. Soybeans and fababeans do not qualify. The program expires March 31, 2017. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz shared details of the program last week during the Hudson Bay Route Association’s annual general meeting in Tisdale, Sask. He said changes to the CWB and Western Canada’s grain marketing environment will affect the port’s grain-related business. The Port of Churchill normally handles 500,000 to 550,000 tonnes of grain each year. Of that amount, 90 to 95 percent is wheat, durum or barley shipped to overseas buyers by the CWB. CWB exports moving through Canadian ports could drop significantly when the agency loses its single desk marketing powers Aug. 1. “There needs to be a transition period to help (Churchill) recapture opportunities that come with an open market,” Ritz said. “The goal (of CPUP) is to maintain historical levels of grain shipped through the port during the transition to a new grain marketing model here in Western Canada.” Jeff McEachern, executive director

of the Churchill Gateway Development Corp. (CGDC), said it is still too early to predict how CWB changes will affect grain export volumes at the port. The CGDC has been talking with groups to determine how negative effects on port business can be minimized. “We’re looking at a number of creative solutions to ensure that grain is going to continue to move through the port, whether it’s adding facilities of our own, inland, to store and gather grain and move it up (to port) or commercial agreements that we’re in the midst of making with grain companies throughout the country,” McEachern said. “It’s hard to predict (the impact on total grain volumes) at this point because the shipping incentive has just been finalized and that’s had a big impact on discussions with respect to commercial agreements. When that (incentive) filters into the marketplace and people begin to understand the impact that it will have on their business, then we’ll be able to start making forecasts on grain volumes.” The CWB has argued for years that shipping grain through the Port of Churchill reduces freight costs and results in higher returns for grain growers. Paul Stow, a vice-president in charge of grain-related business with OmniTrax Canada, said grain originating in Tisdale, Sask., can be shipped by rail to Churchill for $29 per tonne. The same grain could be shipped to Thunder Bay for $35.50 per tonne or to Vancouver for $45.10 per tonne. For grain originating in Saskatoon, rail freight rates are $32.75 to Churchill, $35.35 to Thunder Bay and $36.80 to Vancouver, he said. OmniTrax Canada owns the grain e x p o r t t e r m i na l at t h e Po r t o f Churchill and the only rail line leading to the port.

HUDSON BAY ROUTE ASSOCIATION | RAIL SERVICE

Group seeks to reconnect rail lines Engineering study expected | Northern link could offer alternate route BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Efforts are continuing to re-establish a rail line that could carry grain, lumber, potash and other goods between Prince Albert, Sask., and Hudson Bay, Sask. Sinclair Harrison, president of the Hudson Bay Route Association (HBRA), said an engineering study should be complete early this summer on a 55 kilometre portion of the line between Birch Hills, Sask., and Melfort, Sask. Canadian National Railway owns the portion of track between Birch Hills and Melfort but the company has indicated that it intends to offer the track for sale or rip it up for salvage. The section of track has not been in use for years. The HBRA, which has been promoting a rail corridor from Prince Albert to Hudson Bay and then north to the Port of Churchill, has commissioned a $41,000 engineering study to determine how much investment would be required to upgrade the Birch Hills-to-Melfort

section and return it to use. Engineers are expected to examine the line beginning later this month and will produce a report within the next few months. The Birch Hills-to-Melfort line is one of four sections of track that would be required to make a continuous rail connection between Prince Albert and Hudson Bay. The first section, owned by OmniTrax Canada, runs from Prince Albert to Birch Hills. That section, part of the Carlton Trail Railway system, is also out of commission and would require repairs before it could be returned to service. The second section, between Birch Hills and Melfort, is slated for sale or removal. The third section, also owned by CN, runs from Melfort to Crooked River, Sask., and is still in service. The fourth section, from Crooked River to Hudson Bay, is also owned by CN and is in a state of disrepair. CN had indicated last year that the Crooked River-to-Hudson Bay section would also be sold or ripped up for salvage but the company has since

changed its position and is reassessing the viability of that portion. According to Harrison, resurrecting a continuous line from Prince Albert to Hudson Bay would give shippers, including Saskatchewanbased grain companies, a low-cost shipping alternative with direct access to the grain export terminal at the Port of Churchill. A Prince Albert-to-Hudson Bay link would also allow shippers from the Saskatoon area to move goods to Churchill via Prince Albert, a route that may prove less costly than shipping goods west to Vancouver or east to Thunder Bay. Ideally, one or two companies would assume ownership of the entire Prince Albert to Hudson Bay rail line and perform necessary upgrades, Harrison said. More realistically, there would be two owners involved — presumably CN and OmniTrax. In theory, those two companies could negotiate running rights so that each company’s trains could run on the other company’s track, he said.

PESTICIDES | HARMONIZATION

Faster work on standardized border regulations pleases Canadian farmers BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farm groups say pesticide harmonization between Canada and the United States is finally getting fast-tracked. In December, Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper and U.S. president Barack Obama agreed to implement two action plans designed to speed up trade and travel and improve border security between the two countries. The plan on regulatory co-operation includes an initiative to create a regulatory environment that allows for simultaneous submission and joint

review of pesticide applications. The goal is to promote equal access to crop protection products for farmers on both sides of the border and to minimize differences in maximum pesticide residue limits to prevent potential trade disruptions. Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said his initial reaction to the plan was that he has heard it all before. However, his attitude changed after travelling to Washington, D.C., to hear first-hand what the CanadaU.S. Regulatory Co-operation Council had to say. “They are actually developing very

detailed work plans with specific outcomes and timelines and everything,” said Bonnett. “The mood there was very much, ‘OK, we’ve played around with this thing too long. It has got to be done.’ The word has come from up top that this is a priority and they seem to be moving very, very quickly with it.” The council is contemplating a two-year timeline to get a harmonization process in place. It has also committed to providing progress reports to stakeholders such as the CFA every six months. Gordon Bacon, chief executive officer of Pulse Canada, said considerable

progress has already been made on harmonization, starting with the first NAFTA labels in 2007. That effort has morphed into a global joint review process for some products. “It has been an enormous success and we give the PMRA (Pest Management Regulatory Agency) a lot of credit for the outcomes,” he said. “Our assessment has been that we have got access to a lot more chemicals more quickly.” How e v e r, h e sa id m o re wo rk remains to be done and the regulatory co-operation plan is a good forum to accomplish that. Bacon would like to see more stream-

lining of the registration process. “Does each country need to enter all of the tombstone data that is part of a registration or can one country (do it) and (then) they both work from the same set of data?” he said. He would also like to see the two countries use the forum to work together to encourage groups such as CODEX to update their out-oftouch maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticide products. “We’ve put a turbo charger on the registration of chemicals, and we’re still dealing with a 1962 Dodge three-onthe-tree when it comes to setting the international standards,” said Bacon.

Gypsy horses are girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream come true Irish breed | The horsesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; calm disposition makes them ideal for pleasure riding or working cattle BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN FREELANCE WRITER

RED DEER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Someone on Hasbroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative team must have had these horses in mind when they designed My Little Pony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re every little girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream,â&#x20AC;? said Kate Walls as she walked among the small band of brood mares that form the foundation of her growing herd of Gypsy Vanner horses, noted for their powerful bodies, gentle nature and long and exquisite manes, tails and fetlocks. Even in those final grumpy hours as her body prepares to deliver her newest foal, 12-year-old Clononeen Queen Bee is the picture of good manners, standing quietly as two strangers admire the freshly groomed feathers that adorn the bottoms of her legs, flowing from her knees to the ends of her hoofs. Queen Beeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes pop and her ears prick at the unexpected flash of light from a camera, but her feet stay put while Walls works a brush through silky horse feathers. Four years ago, Walls did something that seemed more than a little foolhardy at the time. She bought four mares online from breeders in Ireland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bought them because my horse was 20 years old, my horse I had since he was nine months old. I panicked.â&#x20AC;? Worried about how much longer her Palomino Quarter horse would be around, Walls felt an urgent need to get new horses. That was when she learned about an Irish breed, still rare in Canada, that goes by a variety of names, including Gypsy Vanner, Gypsy cob, Irish cob and Tinkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse. That there are no hard rules on

what the horses are called fits with its beginnings as an all-purpose saddle and carriage horse, bred by Irish gypsies and handled almost exclusively by their children. The horses are small, ranging between 14 and 15 hands high, but they are also nimble and strong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could put 10 men on one,â&#x20AC;? said Walls. The breedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet and non-combative nature makes it an ideal horse for children and people who like to slip quietly from place to place, while its wild array of distinctive colours and markings serve as a strong deterrence to theft. No horse thief would want to be caught with an animal that could be so easily identified, she said. As well, no Irish farmer would mistake a Gypsy cob for his missing carriage horse. Walls tracked down a breeder near Edmonton and took her chequebook with her, but the woman refused to sell the mare she wanted. Instead, she sat Walls in front of a computer and got her to look online at Gypsy horses available for sale in Ireland. Walls bought four mares, investing tens of thousands of dollars apiece, and then spent more money shipping them home, including the costs of quarantine at Cochrane, Alta. Among the four was Clononeen Queen Bee, dam of the stallion Clononeen Tumbleweed, imported separately by Dale and Cheryl Nygaard and now standing at stud on their farm near Saskatoon. Until recently, Walls had been keeping her Gypsies as much of a secret as possible, largely because they draw so much curious attention from people who have never seen

THE GYPSY VANNER HORSE â&#x20AC;˘ The word Vanner means â&#x20AC;&#x153;caravanâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Dennis Thompson and his late wife, Cindy, imported the first Gypsy Vanner fillies to North America in 1996 â&#x20AC;˘ They established the first registry to give the horses a name and an organization to track the original bloodlines of the Gypsy breeders â&#x20AC;˘ Gypsy Vanner horses must possess a certain look and meet a clear conformation standard â&#x20AC;˘ The first Gypsy Vanners were imported to Canada in 2004 such horses in the flesh. However, her philosophy changed in mid-March, when her old Palomino had to be put down after a bout of colic. Devastated by his death, Walls now feels she could not bear to watch the rest of her herd grow to old age and die. She decided instead that the time had come to start marketing a few of them, including a couple of young stallions that she believes would make excellent geldings. With so few Gypsy Vanners available for sale in North America, she has been assured that good quality animals will still fetch $12,000 to $30,000 each. Those prices will likely soften as more people discover the breed and start raising their own, said Walls. She hopes the qualities perfected by the original breeders will be maintained and that the prices will remain strong as a result, but she is willing to lower her prices slightly to help others establish their own herds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get as many people as possible involved with these horses.â&#x20AC;?

CANADIAN DAIRY COMMISSION | CONFLICT OF INTEREST

CDC lacks procedure to solve sector conflicts: auditor BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Canadian Dairy Commission does a good job fulfilling the terms of its dairy oversight legislation but has been slow in dealing with conflict-ofinterest issues, says the federal auditor general. In his first report tabled in Parliament, recently appointed Michael Ferguson included a review of the CDC that reached this conclusion: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found no significant deficiencies in the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s systems and practices.â&#x20AC;? However, a conflict-of-interest issue first flagged by a predecessor auditor general in 2005 has not been fixed, he reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is difficult for the three-person board to have the full range of skills needed for governance and the board does not have a process for directors

to declare and manage conflicts of interest,â&#x20AC;? Ferguson said in the report on crown corporations. The problem is that legislation governing the 45-year-old crown corporation that oversees the operations of dairy supply management requires that at least one of its board members have â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant dairy production experience.â&#x20AC;? The board sets dairy support prices each year that indirectly influence prices paid to farmers. And typically, the farmer representatives involved in that price-setting decision also have dairy operations that could be affected by the decision. Two of three current voting CDC board members have milk-producing ties: â&#x20AC;˘ The chief executive officer is Jacques Laforge, a dairy farmer from New Brunswick and longtime Dairy Farmers of Canada president.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | CANADA GRAIN ACT

Grain commission sees change in centennial year Producer security and grain inspection services a concern BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Canadian Grain Commission celebrated its 100th anniversary earlier this month with praise for its past, while agriculture minister Gerry Ritz predicted a bright future. The grain industry has been revolutionized since the grain commission was created in 1912, Ritz told an Ottawa celebration April 4. “It is no accident that Canadian grains are recognized worldwide for their consistent high quality,” he said. “CGC has worked alongside farmers to bring our grain industry to where it is today. There is no doubt that the Canadian Grain Commission will continue to play a critical role as we continue to build a modern, efficient sector to meet the growing demand for high-quality food.” The commission’s centennial has arrived in a year in which Ritz is promising to amend the Canada Grain Act. Proposed changes would redefine CGC roles and end the freeze in user fee rates, which could see cost recovery from CGC customers double

from slightly more than $40 million. The commission is holding consultations to determine if costs can be lowered by reducing or eliminating some services that the CGC now provides, including inward inspection of grain moving from the Prairies to market through facilities of the same grain company. Critics have charged that the changes are an attempt by the Con-

servative government to reduce commission oversight of the industry and reduce farmer protection. “I don’t agree with that,” said CGC chief commissioner Elwin Hermanson, a former Reform MP and grain farmer from Beechy, Sask. “Protection will still be there for the producer.” He said producer security in case of handler bankruptcy could remain through an insurance-type policy, while inspection of export grain will continue to be mandatory. Grade and dockage protection for farmers will remain and could be extended to processor elevators and grain dealers. However, Hermanson said it is up to the department to write

the final legislation. “I think the primary protections, if anything, will be stronger rather than weaker, or at least that is what we are proposing,” he said. “But clearly change is coming, the first major change in my lifetime. It will be very significant.” He said reform is needed because the industry has changed significantly in the past half century.

Crops that did not exist a few decades ago have replaced the dominance of traditional grains, while the grain handling system has concentrated considerably. As well, grain transactions are now conducted between facilities within the same company in which “we don’t see the need to be involved in a mandatory manner.” However, beyond the debate about CGC’s regulatory powers will be the controversy about increasing industry costs. Commission user fee levels have been frozen for more than a decade and the government has been picking up an annual deficit of tens of millions of dollars. The March 29 federal budget promised another $44 billion over two years as a way to get the commission to financial self-sufficiency by 2014. Hermanson said it will return the CGC to its historic funding formula, in which the industry pays a significant portion of the cost of services. Still, it will be controversial. “The commission will fall back to its more traditional funding model of being a revolving fund that is selfsustaining and will primarily be funded by fees that we charge for services we offer,” he said. “In 1991, we were 90 percent costrecovered. Now it is roughly 50-50. That will mean some increased costs to the industry, and we are conscious of that.”

FEELING UNDER THE WEATHER

Study confirms â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;very unambiguouslyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nitrogen fertilizer threat to environment BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Researchers say they have found the smoking gun that proves farmers are responsible for a steep increase in one of the nastiest greenhouse gases. A study published in the April issue of the journal Nature Geoscience describes how nitrogen isotope data has identified the unmistakable fingerprint of increased nitrogen fertilizer use behind heightened nitrous oxide levels in the atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really confirms it very unambiguously,â&#x20AC;? said study author Kristie Boering, a professor of chemistry and earth and planetary science at the University of California, Berkeley. Nitrous oxide levels have increased 20 percent since the industrial revolution, 60 percent of which occurred after the green revolution of the 1960s when farmers began relying heavily on synthetic fertilizers to boost crop yields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very potent greenhouse gas that has 100 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide,â&#x20AC;? said Boering. She was able to identify the isotopic composition of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere, which showed that the ratio of nitrogen-14 to nitrogen-15 isotopes has been on the rise. Bacteria in freshly fertilized, nitrogen-rich soil prefer to use the nitrogen-14 isotope when fixing nitrogen for plants rather than the nitrogen-15 isotope, which takes more energy to metabolize. That results in higher levels of nitrogen-14 isotopes in the atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not vilifying fertilizer. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just stop using fertilizer,â&#x20AC;? said Boering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we hope this study will contribute to changes in fertilizer use and agricultural practices that will help to mitigate the release of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? Bill Herz, vice-president of scientific programs for the Fertilizer Institute, said it comes as no surprise that farm fertilizer is the main culprit behind increased nitrous oxide levels in the atmosphere, which has long been suspected. The institute has been trying to devise ways to reduce the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental footprint while still providing a valuable contribution to global food production. Herz said fertilizer is responsible for 40 to 60 percent of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop yields. The result is the 4R nutrient stewardship program, which encourages farmers to use the right fertilizer source at the right rate at the right time and in the right place. Implementing best management practices can help farmers better match nutrient supply with crop requirements to minimize nutrient loss. Best practices include incorporating fertilizer into the soil rather than broadcasting it on top and using equipment that places fertilizer more precisely in the soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re promoting a system that not only has environmental benefits but has very significant economic benefits for the producer,â&#x20AC;? said Herz. Other developments, such as genetically modified crops that will more efficiently use nutrients and microbial enhancement products that are already on the market, should further reduce agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very potent greenhouse gas that has 100 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. KRISTIE BOERING CHEMISTRY PROFESSOR

nitrous oxide emissions. Boering applauded the agriculture industry for taking these steps to reduce one of the most potent greenhouse gases.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That might buy us a little bit of time to find the best ways to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her research provides the agriculture sector with a new tool to measure how effective its mitigation efforts are at reducing nitrous oxide levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can verify peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims as well as help develop new protocols for when you fertilize and not.â&#x20AC;? It can even be used to see how things are progressing on a countryby-country basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could look at Europe. Is Europe doing a good job at decreasing their nitrous oxide emissions?â&#x20AC;? she said.

WATER | CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change may see users vie for water Agriculture and industry will be forced to adapt as the quantity and quality of ground and surface water decreases STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — Canadians have a strong social safety net and large

resource base to shelter them from the effects of climate change. But for those struggling to cope with dwindling water supplies and the effects of extreme weather on

their agriculture production, food security will turn into a global issue, said Jim Byrne of the University of Lethbridge during a recent science forum in Calgary.

The possible effects of climate change on the quality and quantity of fresh drinking water were among the topics discussed at the Alberta Institute of Agrologists annual meeting in

Banff April 3-5. “Climatological changes have always occurred and they will continue to occur. It is a huge unknown,” said David Chenasyk of the University of Alberta’s renewable resources department. Bitter competition could develop among cities, agriculture and energy users as water supplies change, said Bob Sandford, the Epcor chair of the Canadian Partnership Initiative, which works to translate research into water policy. Growing and processing food takes a lot of water and Canada cannot grow or export food without it. “Agriculture matters to our economy and our future,” he said. It is imperative for agricultural interests to engage in the debate about food production and human dignity. Nevertheless, scientists must continue to study how much variability in the water supply and climate is the result of natural functions and how much is caused by human activity. “There is a great deal we just don’t know about natural variability,” he said. However, wide-scale changes to the landscape in southern Canada have affected the hydrology system and subsequently the effects on climate. “We have altered both surface flows and ground water recharge and at the same time we are leaving less water for nature to use and how much it can purify for our use,” he said. The current water cycle is changing and countries must adapt as these variables increase in the future. “The cost of adapting to these changes is currently incalculable,” he said. A key area of research for many environmental scientists is the state of the Rocky Mountain glaciers, which have been shrinking for at least 150 years. About 300 glaciers were lost in the Rocky Mountains between 19202005, with most disappearing in the last 60 years. Glaciers are important for late season water supply and to maintain water temperatures for aquatic habitat. A ground penetrating radar survey is underway in the Columbia Icefields to learn how much ice is present in the mountains. Researchers are also monitoring the amount of snow cover in Canada. Almost all of Canada is snow covered in winter, but its duration has been reduced by one month since the 1960s. This is a major fresh water reservoir for release in the later season. Society could not build enough reservoirs to replace the amount of water snow holds in the winter months. “Cold provides this valuable service for free,” Sandford said.

Water collection may improve supply BANFF, Alta. — Irrigation may have to increase as pressure mounts to feed nine billion people within 50 years. Agriculture is often criticized for its heavy use of water for irrigation, but strategic decisions must be made as more food is needed. “We are going to grow food in areas that are highly variable for water supply and climate,” said David Hill, executive director of Alberta Innovates, a provincial government agency that leads and co-ordinates research. “The only way we are going to make progress is getting right at the prickly questions that we don’t want to have to face and figure out what we can do about it,” he said a recent science forum in Calgary. Scientists like David Chenasyk of the University of Alberta’s renewable resources department supports strategic irrigation to feed more people. “We can use irrigation to increase food production and if there is any hope for feeding nine billion, my belief is that is where it is going to have to come from,” he said at the Alberta Institute of Agrologists conference on water in Banff April 3-5. He said water farms could be developed in the future whose sole role is to generate water. “If you can sell power to the grid, why can’t you sell water to the grid?” Strategic reservoirs are also needed to capture water during a flood. Using aquifers as underground reservoirs are another possibility, and wetlands need to be appreciated for their ability to store water. The province is currently assessing wetlands because there has been no co-ordinated policy, said Andy Ridge of Alberta Environment. Wetland mapping is underway to take a provincial inventory, which should be completed this spring. The department is also attempting to calculate how much it will cost to mitigate wetlands and if some are more valuable than others. About 85,000 acres of wetlands have been created or enhanced with irrigation water, said Shelley Woods of Alberta Agriculture. Part of the wetlands program came from some of the major strides made in water conservation. The irrigation systems started to deliver water to southern Alberta farms in 1911. Today, 4.1 billion cubic metres are allocated for irrigation, but only 1.7 billion cubic metres are used in an average year. Water use has been reduced with installation of underground pipelines, improved liners in surface canals and highly efficient sprinkling systems. Old systems using surface systems collected 30 percent of the water and

the rest flowed or drained away. “These technological improve-

ments have seen enormous gains in water efficiency,” she said.

“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?

“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.

WATER | QUALITY

Nature, industry pose hazard to clean water supply BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — The Canadian water supply contains thousands of impurities. Some are naturally occurring while others are the result of runoff that carries lubricants, pesticides, antibiotics and industrial chemicals, said scientists attending the recent Alberta Institute of Agrologists water conference at Banff. The national drinking water guidelines are not met in some parts of Alberta because wells contain elevated levels of sodium sulfate, fluoride, arsenic, manganese and selenium.

“This is nothing to do with contamination. I am talking about Mother Nature,” said Bob Shotyk of the University of Alberta, whose findings are based on rural water well tests released in 1997. Most of Alberta is part of the western sedimentary basin, which was once an inland sea. “We know there is lots of salty water in this province just because of the geology,” he said. Trace metals also occur naturally in surface and ground water, but there is concern over a growing list of synthetic contaminants that have no natural source, he said. Agriculture and municipal runoff

affects water quality, but the Alberta oilsands are often targeted as a major polluter. The Royal S o ciety of Canada reported in 2010 that there was no model that suggested how much water could be withdrawn by oilsands activity or how the project affects ground water. Shotyk said the environment suffers from the potential effects of nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide as well as trace metals and acid rain. The tailings ponds are surrounded by 30 metre high dikes and it is suspected contents are slowly migrating into the surface and ground water. A major concern is the potential

leaching of napthenic acid into the water. It is a primary constituent of bitumen waste water. The release of polycyclic aromatic compounds is also a problem. These have low water solubility and some have potential genetic or carcinogenic effects. They were linked to scrotal cancer in Victorian era chimney sweeps. A number of reports have been issued on the oilsands and water quality, and the province has promised a new monitoring environmental monitoring program. “Commercial development of the oilsands began in 1967. Why has this taken 45 years?” said Shotyk.

Another concern is the changing landscape with mines, deforestation, roads and pipeline rights of way that alter watersheds. In agricultural areas, contaminants found in drinking water include bacteria, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. They are often below drinking water guidelines, but studies have found some products can cause deformities in some species. For example, studies of the herbicide atrazine showed that exposure of less than one part per billion caused feminization of male frogs. About 6,000 kilograms of atrazine were used in Alberta in 2008. It is more commonly found in the American corn belt. Antimicrobials are also found in surface water, which is a problem because of the concern about antibiotic resistance. Their presence also slows the bacterial decomposition of manure. Runoff from municipalities contains undesirable products such as pesticides, fecal coliforms and toxins from asphalt. “Cities are very dirty places,” he said. “The more we put into our water, the more we have to take out before we can drink it.” The challenge for cities is maintaining clean water with aging infrastructure. Calgary and Edmonton may double in size within 25 years. Their water treatment is good, but that is not always the case for smaller communities. Shotyk said more attention should be paid to nature’s ability to clean water as it percolates through soil. “A farm is a natural water filtration system. Our wetlands, let’s leave them alone. Let’s plant some trees.” Riparian areas with more trees are needed. “If you want a better natural water purifier, make sure the water gets into the soil. It will also move nutrients,” said David Chanasyk of the University of Alberta’s renewable resources department. The province is studying how agriculture affects water quality so it can work with farmers to correct problems and maintain quality guidelines. Livestock manure is considered to be the main degrader of water quality along with pesticide runoff, especially in summer, said Andrea Kalischuk of Alberta Agriculture. Water quality has remained generally unchanged during the last decade. As agriculture intensity increases, water quality generally decreases. However, measurements exceed the guidelines for phosphorus residues more than 40 percent of the time even when farming intensity is minimal. T h e g re a t e s t r i s k c a m e f ro m manure spreading. The province’s Agriculture Operations Practices Act regulates its application, but most is spread on a small land base because it is too expensive to haul further. The law is based on how much nitrogen the soil can safely accept. The province conducted a study 10 years ago to consider shifting to a phosphorous standard but did not move on it. “It recognized at that time we are not ready to move forward on phosphorous limits until we understand the solutions,” Kalischuk said.

SHIPPING | FOOD SECURITY

Iran’s threat over port may end ‘brotherly love’ Closing the Strait of Hormuz could create chaos ABU DHABI (Reuters) — Gulf Cooperation Council member states are considering building group emergency food stocks amid threats by Iran to block their main supply route. However, food security experts say that politics and practical hurdles could prove insurmountable. Three of the council’s members, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, are almost entirely dependent on the narrow shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz for imported food supplies. Although they have options outside the straits, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia also import a large share of food and other consumer goods through ports in the Gulf, with only Oman’s food supplies unlikely to be unaffected by disruption to shipping through Hormuz. Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, used for a third of the world’s seaborne oil trade, if western moves to ban Iranian crude exports cripple its lifeblood energy sector. The council aims to improve coordination, integration and interconnections between its six member states across all fields including trade, customs, scientific research and joint ventures. Most council members have their own reserves because of their reliance on one supply route to feed their booming populations, but talk of a regional tie-up of stockpiles has been going on for years. “This is one of the options we are looking into,” said Abdullah al-Shibli, the council’s assistant secretary general for economic affairs. Nadim Khouri, deputy executive secretary of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, said a regional system of stocks to meet three months of consumption should work more effectively at times of crisis than separately managed stocks. “This has been one element in an overall strategy that has been discussed for years,” Khouri said. “At this point we are only discussing it at the technical level.” The Arab Authority for Agriculture Investment and Development (AAAID) said it was considering building three to six months worth of storage capacity in the Gulf Co-operation Council. However, the patchy history of cooperation between its members, with regional rivalries hindering energy sharing, does not bode well for plans to share food at times of crisis. “What happens when a crisis erupts with each country trying to serve its own needs?” said Raed Safadi, deputy director of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s trade and agriculture directorate. “All this brotherly love will disappear.” Practical obstacles to a regional stocks system are also significant. Storage locations would have to be agreed on that are accessible to others, which is difficult given the long distances and limited road or rail

links between them. The AAAID has said an ideal location for the reserves would be the port of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman, a popular storage point for fuel because it lies outside the Strait of Hormuz. From there, food might be distributed to the UAE and Oman, which already have plenty of import options. However, getting it to Kuwait, Qatar or Bahrain would mean shipping it long distances after that.

MANITOBA | KEYSTONE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS MEETING

KAP discusses association for wheat, barley checkoff Survey of Manitoba growers | A committee will determine if Manitoba farmers are interested and then hold a plebiscite BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Manitoba farmers have taken the first steps toward creating a provincial wheat and barley association. At a meeting in Portage la Prairie April 10, Keystone Agricultural Producers members passed a resolution to create a steering committee to start the ball rolling. The association’s primary mandate would be to collect a checkoff on wheat and barley, which would be used to fund research and market development for the cereals. “(Its) main focus will be to collect a

checkoff to fund CIGI (Canadian International Grains Institute) and WGRF (Western Grains Research Foundation),” said KAP president Doug Chorney. Chorney and other KAP members met with representatives of Winter Cereals Manitoba, the Prairie Oat Growers Association, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association and the National Farmers Union in early April to discuss the possibility of forming the association. Chorney said those representatives will go back to their boards to determine if they want to participate. “I never thought I’d be in a room

with that group in my lifetime,” Chorney said with a laugh. “It shows you that we’re trying to be as inclusive as possible.” The KAP resolution passed unanimously, which member Don Dewar said is the result of signals from the federal government that mandatory wheat and barley checkoffs will become voluntary once the CWB loses its monopoly. “Even with the demise of the wheat board, we thought the checkoff would continue,” said Dewar, who sits on the WGRF board and is chairing a KAP committee studying the transition to an open market.

“It (the resolution) is not saying we want to do this. It’s us saying we have t o d o t h i s i f w e w a nt t h e w o rk (research and market development) to continue.” One of the steering committee’s first tasks will be a preliminary survey of Manitoba wheat and barley growers to gauge interest in such an association. “We would like to hold a survey sometime in the next few months,” Dewar said. As well, Manitoba law requires a producer plebiscite to create farm associations. Two-thirds of wheat and barley growers would have to

support the concept for it to move forward. Dewar said it’s unlikely an association would be formed before 2014, even if the steering committee came together quickly. “There wouldn’t be a plebiscite for at least a year, I don’t think,” he said. “Then you would have to form the association and get the checkoff and the rules in place. Two years, I would say, is an optimistic timeline.” Wilfred Harder of Lowe Farm, Man., said during the KAP meeting that creating another farm association would dilute the importance and value of KAP. Dewar said the proposed wheat and barley association wouldn’t be a policy organization, but instead would focus on collecting and distributing check-off revenue. A proposed association in Manitoba might be modelled after Alberta’s wheat commission, which producers in that province have been developing for more than 18 months. “Once the election is over, hopefully it will be on the priority list and it will pass cabinet. Then we’ll be good to go Aug. 1,” said Greg Porozni, a member of the steering committee working on the commission in Alberta.

Dreyfus eyes expansion

C-60-01/12-BCS11080-E

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — France’s Louis Dreyfus, Russian investment group Summa and four other Russian firms may vie for a large stake in Russia’s largest grain trader, government-owned United Grain Co., said two sources familiar with the situation. For Dreyfus, winning the stake in UGC would sharpen its competitive edge among the world’s top grain traders, while Summa would vault into a hugely influential position as Russia is poised to become the world’s second-largest wheat exporter this year, recovering from 2010’s drought. UGC plans to issue additional shares as part of a plan to sell a stake of 50 percent minus one share, allowing the government to retain majority control. Louis Dreyfus is one of the world’s four dominant agribusiness companies along with Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge and Cargill. Privately held Summa Group is involved in projects ranging from oil to telecoms and has stakes in two grain export terminals in Russia’s main deep sea port of Novorossiisk. UGC controls one of the two terminals. Highlighting the appetite for global agricultural commodities assets Glencore last month bought Canada’s largest grain handler Viterra in a $6.1 billion deal that will give it a huge new presence in grain. Several Asian trading firms, including Mitsui & Co, Marubeni Corp. and Noble Group, are in the running for U.S. grain and energy trader Gavilon, which could be valued at about $5 billion, sources said last month.

SPECIAL REPORT GIANT POTASH MINES COME WITH BENEFITS, RESPONSIBILITIES

WHEN POTASH COMES TO TOWN Managing the boom | Saskatchewan’s potash boom is unleashing enormous rural development. Existing mines are expanding and 20 companies are exploring potash deposits. Work has begun on two new mines, K+S Potash Canada’s Legacy project north of Moose Jaw, and BHP Billiton’s enormous Jansen Lake project southeast of Humboldt. They require road construction, hundreds of building permits and an unheard-of level of planning and oversight by local government. As The Western Producer’s Karen Briere learned, affected rural municipal governments are on a steep learning curve to keep up.

EROY, Sask. — Jerry McGrath and Bruce Elke knew things were about to change when a seismic company arrived five years ago and began scoping out an area around Jansen Lake. It was no secret there was potash underground. The two farmers and reeves of the rural municipalities of LeRoy and Prairie Rose, respectively, live in central Saskatchewan’s potash belt, where Potash Corp. has operated a mine at nearby Lanigan for decades. What they didn’t know was how much they would be involved in developing a new mine proposed by Australian mining giant BHP Billiton. The province issues exploration permits, leases and environmental approvals and either SaskWater or Saskatchewan Watershed Authority are involved in securing a water supply. However, then the responsibility

switches to RMs. “We were surprised to find out we had as much jurisdiction as we did,” said Elke. Proper zoning, hundreds of building permits, road maintenance agreements and tendering all fall under their purview. For the two reeves, the learning

curve has been more like a line pointing straight up. “We should have been on it right away,” McGrath said at the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities midterm convention last fall, where he urged other municipalities to educate themselves, and fast. The province’s potash industry is booming. The existing 10 mines, owned by three companies, are all expanding with a targeted completion date of 2020. “We’re part way through a doubling of our industry, just based upon the existing players,” said Kent Campbell, the provincial government’s deputy minister of energy and resources. However, he said 20 companies, including the three largest miners in the world, hold 181 mineral dispositions covering 10.82 million acres.

Although existing mines had expanded, there had not been a new potash mine since 1970. But now, new mines are a certainty. Therein lies one of the main difficulties for RMs. Community development plans didn’t contemplate new mines. Councillors and administrators have no experience with development of this scale, and there is no knowledge base to turn to for advice. “We are sort of breaking new ground,” said Elke. “It is overwhelming.” McGrath said they would like other RMs to have it a little easier. “We need a template so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel,” McGrath said. “We were 98 percent agriculture. Now we’re going to have the biggest mine in the world.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 30

Rural roads like this one will have to be rebuilt after millions of tonnes of gravel are transported by truck to build a new mine near Jansen, Sask. |

Country roads take a pounding Under construction | Trucks unloading every two minutes

ANSEN, Sask. — The main grid road between the communities of Jansen and LeRoy has taken a pounding. Thirty thousand loads of gravel are being transported about 30 kilometres from the Watrous area to the site where BHP Billiton intends to build the largest potash mine in the world. To meet its deadlines, the company says a truck must unload every two minutes over a 12-hour shift. More than one million cubic metres of aggregate will be moved and there is no doubt the road will have to be rebuilt. Rural municipal councils are used to dealing with road maintenance and construction, but this is in a league of its own. At both BHP’s Jansen project and K+S Potash Canada’s Legacy project f a r t h e r s o u t h , ro a d w o r k a n d increased traffic are major issues in rural areas not accustomed to so much activity. Roads are being closed and built, some gravel roads will be paved and some, like the Jansen-LeRoy grid, will include a bit of everything. Part of that road will be closed completely because it runs through the proposed mine site. A mine’s infrastructure requirements are huge. At the Jansen project, the plan calls for new paved mine access roads off Highways 5, 6 and 16, two overpasses and a Canadian Pacific Railway line linking the mine to the existing line at Jansen. The work is done to accommodate the mines, but the tenders must run through the municipalities.

“We’ve tendered out about 24, 25 miles of road for improvements or upgrades last year and this year,” said Rodney Audette, administrator in the RM of Dufferin where the Legacy mine is under construction. The number is similar in the RMs of LeRoy and Prairie Rose. The mining companies pay for the work, but the scale of construction and paperwork involved dwarf a typical construction year for RMs. Andrew Svenson, legal counsel for the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, said increased truck traffic is the immediate impact on municipalities, and road maintenance agreements are critical. These agreements are set up to compensate municipalities for short-term heavy hauls that lead to extra maintenance requirements. However, the rates are supposed to be levied for incremental damage caused by the hauler and were last updated in 1998. “We used that as our model, but that doesn’t work for this type of haul,” said Prairie Rose reeve Bruce Elke, whose municipality is bearing the brunt of the Jansen haul. Jerry McGrath, reeve in neighbouring LeRoy, said the maintenance agreement wouldn’t come close to replacing the road, but a road construction agreement with BHP does. Chris Ryder, vice-president of external affairs at BHP, said that’s only fair. “If there is a one-off cost in addition to regular maintenance as a result of the heavy use, then we’ll fund those as well,” he said. “We have to move a road. The RM is

responsible for building and maintaining that road, but of course we’ll fund construction.” The company will also pay for some dust control and compensate for broken windshields caused by the increased number of trucks on the road. “The fact is that we’ll listen to those complaints,” Ryder said. “We’ll do everything we can to make sure that stuff doesn’t happen.” There haven’t been many complaints, say RM officials, but concerns have been expressed about safety. Elke said the company has been quick to address those concerns, such as making sure loads are tarped or that large construction lights aren’t shining in drivers’ eyes. “If you can prove there’s a need, they’ve been very good to work with,” he said. Svenson said the RMs made a good move when they established their maintenance agreement solely with BHP and made the company responsible to control the individual haulers it hires. “It’s good to have this in place immediately,” said Svenson during last fall’s SARM convention. “You don’t have to nail down each hauler.” He said the agreement included a schedule that dealt with how BHP would track trucks, weights, times and routes and report to the RM. Monthly payments also allowed the RM to monitor the traffic regularly. Audette said formal agreements save a lot of hassle, and he recommended that any municipality facing such an increase in traffic follow the proper protocol.

POTASH FACTS • Saskatchewan has about 55 percent of the world’s potash reserves and produces about 30 percent of world production. • World demand for potash is expected to grow at more than four percent a year or two million tonnes annually. Over the next 18 years, world potash demand will more than double to 100 million tonnes annually. • There are 10 existing potash mines in Saskatchewan. All 10 are expanding at a capital cost of $11.9 billion. • The potash industry accounts for about two-thirds of Saskatchewan’s core mining industry employment (about 6,000 jobs). • Estimated royalties and taxes over the life of Jansen potash mine project: $93 billion. Saskatchewan government share: $60 billion. • During the Jansen mine construction, on-site workforce is expected to peak at about 4,200. During construction there will be an equivalent of 2,900 full time jobs created in Saskatchewan from direct, indirect, and spin-off employment.

BHP Billiton’s mine at Jansen, Sask., when at full capacity, will be the largest potash mine in the world. |

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28 BHP Billiton’s Jansen Project, when at full capacity, would indeed be the largest potash mine on the planet. The $12 billion conventional underground mine will be situated at the southern edge of the RM of LeRoy near its border with Prairie Rose. It would produce eight million tonnes of potash a year for at least 50 years. By way of comparison, Potash Corp.’s Lanigan mine, its largest, had an operational capability in 2011 of 3.4 million tonnes. Although the Jansen mine hasn’t officially received the go-ahead — a decision is expected by October — BHP has already committed spending $1.2 billion, and two mine shafts are being drilled in the expectation that the mine will open in 2015. Chris Ryder, BHP’s vice-president of external affairs, said the company is aware that the workload for RMs goes up significantly when a new mine is built and tries to help where possible. He said the RMs have been helpful but challenged. “Don’t underestimate the capacity required to go through the development permitting and the regulatory process,” he advised. “We’re going to in the future be looking for 600 or 700 building permits running through two RMs. That’s in the period of a year or two. Clearly on top of the regular work they’re doing for ratepayers, they’ve got a lot of work to do just for our project.” LeRoy and Prairie Rose have both hired additional staff, and BHP has provided funding to pay salaries. LeRoy administrator Joan Fedak said the work has been challenging because of the unknowns. “We relied heavily on the legal advice, engineering advice and planning advice from SARM,” she said. Bylaws had to be changed, roads closed or built and planning statements examined. For example, LeRoy’s community plan allowed for mineral extraction but not processing. Before it was amended, the plan also did not allow for work camps, but BHP requires one to hous e m ore t han 2 , 5 0 0 employees during construction.

The camp will be the largest, albeit temporary, community in the area, second only to the city of Humboldt. Complete with gymnasium and

BHP BILLITON PHOTO

movie theatre, it will be responsible for many of the permits Fedak will handle. She said few RMs likely have work

camps as permitted uses in their bylaws because they simply didn’t consider the possibility. “Any RM that is primarily agricul-

ture based would have the same issues,” Fedak said. “Hopefully others can be better prepared.” The RM of Dufferin, which is home to the K+S Potash Canada Legacy Project near Bethune, Sask., had to change its regulations to accommodate the mine. The $3.25 billion solution mine is the only new potash development with formal approval. Preliminary construction on services has already begun, but an official groundbreaking ceremony is set for June and the opening scheduled for late 2015. RM administrator Rodney Audette said the permitting process is onerous, but it also provides a record of activity, which could help other municipalities in the future. “There is a development permit and then every improvement from there on has to have a permit,” he said. “It allows for a review of what’s going on.” Streamlining processes and regulations could make it easier on everyone. Fourteen rural and urban municipalities in the Mid-Sask Municipal Alliance, which includes LeRoy and Prair ie Rose, are now working together to update their bylaws as a region and be ready for future development. McGrath said a regional approach would put neighbouring municipalities on the same footing and help companies that must now check regulations every time they cross an RM boundary.

New mine will spur community development

RMs will see more revenue | Increased employment, other benefits will come with mine

lished country residential subdivisions, but the village is talking to developers and looking at perhaps 50 new lots. Studies done for the two mines furthest along in the construction process suggest populations in nearby communities will grow, as will the opportunities for jobs for professionals and those in the trades and service industries. However, a bigger benefit will be from taxation. Municipalities stand to gain property tax revenue through the municipal potash tax sharing arrangement the province established. Communities within a 32-kilometre radius of a mine shaft and head frame receive a share of the property tax paid by the mining company. Jerry McGrath, reeve in the RM of LeRoy, said his RM already gets a share of the tax revenue from the Potash Corp. mine at Lanigan. It will get more when the BHP Billiton mine in LeRoy goes ahead. Even though the mine is taking about 50 quarters of land out of the agricultural tax base, McGrath said there is an upside. “It will be more revenue than what

we take in in our entire tax base right now,” he said. Bruce Elke, reeve of the RM of Prairie Rose, said some residents have expressed concern that the benefits of more people and economic activity won’t actually materialize. They point to Guernsey, a small community near Lanigan that didn’t benefit from that mine, and they see farmers leaving land that the mine has acquired for its operations. BHP studies on municipal impacts predict the overall population in the area will climb by one-third. “BHP has said they want workers living in the area,” said McGrath. “There is a two percent growth prediction (for the RM of LeRoy), and we haven’t had growth in 20 years.” The town of LeRoy could grow by 450 to 800 people. Jansen is a smaller centre, but it does offer amenities such as a bowling alley. BHP has said the 2,500 workers who will live in a rural work camp during construction will use that facility and the rink in LeRoy to support the communities. LeRoy administrator Joan Fedak

askatchewan rural municipalities at the centre of potash development may be stretched right now, but they all say it will be worth it in the end. The hassles of road construction and paperwork will be rewarded with increased tax revenue, more people and a revitalized rural economy. “It’s an exciting time for this area,” said Rodney Audette, administrator in the RM of Dufferin. “They’re going to see development like they haven’t seen in the past 50, 70 years.” The K+S Potash Canada Legacy Project, in the Bethune area, holds the distinction of being the first greenfield potash mine in Saskatchewan in 40 years. The $3.25 billion solution mine will employ 1,100 people at peak construction. After it opens in 2015, it will offer 320 permanent positions. While the mine is close enough to Moose Jaw and Regina that employees can commute, Audette said both the RM and the village of Bethune anticipate some people will choose the quieter country life and live closer to work. He said the RM hasn’t yet estab-

Farmers are displaced when miners move in t is a sad fact that when a mine arrives, farmers have to go. Long before new potash mine development began in Saskatchewan two years ago, proponents were knocking on landowners’ doors. The K+S Potash mine near Bethune was granted an exemption under provincial farmland ownership laws to buy 23,040 acres. BHP Billiton near LeRoy received an exemption for 60,000 acres. While few occupied farmyards were affected, several families had to leave their homes. Ninety percent of the land that was purchased in the rural municipality of LeRoy was grain land. BHP bought a block of 50 quarters in LeRoy and Prairie Rose, as well as 14 quarters outside the footprint because the owners wanted to sell their entire operations. Some of the land will still be farmed for a while, but LeRoy reeve Jerry McGrath said 21 quarters will be out of production this season. “Land has come out of production faster than we anticipated,” he said. Seven yard sites are disappearing. Earlier this spring, six farm families moved to nearby communities. Prairie Rose reeve Bruce Elke said it is hard to convince other residents of the benefits of potash mines when they see that happening. “It is negative right now,” he said of the mood. “There is no tax money coming in from the mine and we’ve lost people.” Some of the families were longtime farmers, but only three were active and the others were close to retirement, said McGrath. BHP paid everyone the same rate for the farmland, at 2.5 times the assessed value. Yard sites were negotiated individually. Chris Ryder, BHP’s vice-president of external affairs, said landowners asked a lot of questions at community meetings. He said there are always a couple who resist selling or wait to get a better price. “We’ve tended to pay above the assessed market value of the land because buying it for a potash mine gives it a little bit different value,” he said. Still, no real opposition was voiced. The companies held several meetings and have sent out newsletters. “The biggest ongoing challenge is making sure we hear what everyone is saying,” Ryder said. “If we could have zero impact, other than jobs, that’s what we’d do, but we all know that’s not possible.” In the RM of Dufferin, where K+S is building, administrator Rodney Audette has heard few concerns. He arrived after most of the land buying was done but knows of two families that moved off their farms. Dufferin is in a slightly better position than LeRoy: its mine has been officially approved. The BHP Jansen project won’t be formally approved until later this year, although bulldozers have already razed farmyards and construction trailers have moved in. McGrath said he doesn’t want to contemplate the mine not going ahead after all the change that’s already occurred. “A n y t h i n g c a n b e re p l a c e d ,” McGrath said. “Except people.”

RESEARCH | DOGS

Dogs may have been fetching bones for 33,000 years Domestication pushed back | An archaeological dig in Siberia found a skull with characteristics of a dog from the last ice age BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — A find deep in a Siberian mountain cave has pushed back the date for the domestication of dogs to 33,000 years ago. It’s 19,000 years earlier than the previously accepted date of 14,000 years ago. Equally intriguing is that ancient dog remains of the same antiquity have also been found in a cave in Belgium. The implications appear to be that dog domestication happened repeatedly at different times and in different geographic locations rather than happening as a single domestication event. The modern dog could therefore have multiple ancestors rather than a single common ancestor. “Both the Belgian find and the Siberian find are domesticated species based on morphological characteristics,” said Greg Hodgins, a Canadian research scientist with the University of Arizona’s Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Laboratory and co-author of the study, which was reported in the open access journal PLoS ONE. “Essentially wolves have long, thin snouts and their teeth are not crowned, (but) domestication results in this shortening of the snout, widening of the jaws and crowning of the teeth.” Hodgins said many artefacts were found in the cave between 1977 and 1991. The cave excavation was first done by Russian researcher Nikolai Ovodov in 1975, when the skull and both mandibles of a dog-like canid were found among the remains of foxes, cave hyenas, grey wolves, brown bears, ibex and hares deposited over thousands of years. “(The excavation) was huge,” said Hodgins. “Some 71,290 mammal bones (and bone fragments) came out of there. But the argument (being made) is that it was not fully a dog. It’s an incipient, on the way to becoming a dog. We go by the skull shape.” Comparing this find to wolf skulls of the same time period showed the skull shape is between the two. “This find pushes back the domestication event to before the last glacial period. It’s huge. That’s really one of the interesting things about it.” The skull was extraordinarily well preserved. Hodgin’s lab used radiocarbon dating to set the date of the skull. “The skull is about the size and shape of a modern male Samoyed dog except that it has much larger teeth,” said Susan Crockford, coauthor of the study and researcher with Pacific Identifications Inc. of Victoria. “We have no idea about the rest of the body. The large teeth are the characteristics that suggest that it was, at most, a wolf in the very early stages of domestication.” At 33,000 years old, the Siberian skull predates a period of extreme cold known as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which happened from 26,000 to 19,000 years ago. This was when the ice sheets of the last ice age reached their maximum extent before finally retreating. They caused massive disruption of

lifestyle patterns for humans and animals, forcing them to migrate or travel to find food, water and shelter. However, the Siberian cave where the skull was found was not occupied by humans before the LGM. “There are lots of sites of similar age in the region, but the cave itself was not used for habitation,” said Crockford, who holds an adjunct faculty position in the University of Victoria’s anthropology and graduate studies departments. “Animals (bears, hyenas, wolves) used it as a den and dragged their kills into it, and sometimes they died

there, too.” The concept of wolves and humans forming a bond leading to domestication so long ago might be more fanciful than accurate. Researchers agree wolves would have been drawn to human camps looking for remains of successful hunts, and there’s nothing to say that those Palaeolithic people didn’t eat wolves too, given the chance. Wolves would most likely not have provided any guarding instinct, other than to guard their own food source. “I don’t think that wolves or even dogs would have guarded or defend-

ed a human camp, not at the stage of domestication we’re talking about,” said Crockford. She said it appears people had to become more mobile because the distribution and migration patterns of the animals they hunted changed and the conditions necessary for domestication were disrupted. As a result, it seems the incipient dogs reverted to the wild and they are not, apparently, an ancestor of the modern dog. “In terms of human history, before the last glacial maximum, people were living with wolves and canid

species in widely separated geographical areas in Euro-Asia, and have been living with them long enough that they were actually changing evolutionarily,” said Hodgins. “Then climate change happened, human habitation patterns changed and those relationships with those particular lineages of animals apparently didn’t survive.” The relationship between wolves, the earliest dogs, and humans is an enduring one shrouded in mystery. The discovery of the Siberian skull is starting to lift that veil of secrecy.

Company aims to shake up construction industry Wood-like panels use wheat straw, oat hulls and flax and canola fibre BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

SARNIA, Ont. — What may prove to be a game-changing technology for the construction industry could have its start near Meadow Lake, Sask. That’s where Toronto entrepreneur Catherine Tredway plans to use agricultural fibres to produce products

similar to wood panels. “We have sold 30 million panels for this year alone. We want to make them on the same lines used for MDF (medium density fibreboard), OSB (oriented strand board) and plywood,” she said during the Bringing Bioproducts to Market conference in Sarnia, Ont., March 28. “We’re making ours out of blends of

agricultural fibre. Some will be 100 percent and some will be 50 percent.… Our boards are stronger than the wood panels because of the agricultural fibres.” The technology was developed over the past five years with support from Natural Resources Canada and a patented process acquired from the University of Guelph. Tredway is keeping quiet about the exact process, but said it involves a chemical reaction, heat and pressure. “Our products look very much like wood and most people have a hard time telling the difference,” she said. Production using wheat straw, flax and canola fibre and oat hulls could begin in as little as two months, which would create a demand for as much as 660,000 tonnes of fibre, 300 direct jobs and 1,000 indirect jobs. Tredway’s company, WhiteCloud Innovations, is also looking at production locations in Alberta and Ontario. In Ontario, crop residues and purpose-grown crops such as miscanthus and switchgrass could be processed. Some of the panels will be used as the underlying substrate for veneer, while others can be used on their own as trim and cabinet doors. The process could eventually be adapted to produce structural applications and moulded products such as car parts. T re d w a y s a i d t h e m a t e r i a l ’s mechanical superiority is related to the lignin content of agricultural fibres. She said her panels are also fire retardant, have antimicrobial properties and do not contain formaldehyde. Tredway is financing WhiteCloud Innovations herself. Her inspiration came during the 22 years she spent working internationally as an architect. She saw that solutions were needed to supply affordable homes in developing nations and thought housing kits brought in by mining companies and others could be left behind and reused by local populations. “I didn’t intend this to become a large project but five years later… it turned into something that could be world changing,” she said. “I think Canada has an opportunity to become a model for fibre management.” She said environmental and economic sustainability needs to be part of the effort, which means fair compensation to workers and farmers and leaving enough biomass to meet the biological requirements of the soil.

EDUCATION | AGROLOGY

Foreign agrologists learn Canadian ways Agrologist requires certification | A PAg designation is required to teach, research or advise on crops and livestock BY RON FRIESEN FREELANCE WRITER

Rendell Quilloy fully expected to work in horticulture when he arrived in Winnipeg in 2010. After all, it was the field for which he had trained in his native Philippines. With his wife already employed, Quilloy sent out a raft of applications and then waited for the phone to ring with a job offer. No one called. Frustrated, Quilloy went on the internet, only to learn that agrology is a regulated profession in Manitoba

and he needed to be certified to practise. He wasn’t certified because the province did not recognize his overseas qualifications. But there was one thing on the Manitoba Institute of Agrologists website that gave him hope. It was information about a special one-year program to qualify for certification. This spring, Quilloy, 29, embarks on a four-month work experience program after successfully completing eight months of course work at the University of Manitoba’s agricultural and food sciences faculty. He’ll

then have a professional agrologist (PAg) designation, which will enable him to practise agrology in the province. His prospects for permanent employment look bright. Quilloy is one of 11 students graduating this year from the Internationally Educated Agrologists Program (IEAP), which upgrades candidates with agriculture degrees from other countries to practise their profession in Manitoba. It is the only program of its kind for agrologists in Canada. A PAg isn’t needed to work in agri-

culture, but it is required for teaching, researching or giving advice about crops and livestock. IEAP, which is based on a similar program for engineers, works with the U of M and the Manitoba Institute of Agrologists to raise foreign-educated agriculture professionals to the same level as home-grown agrologists. Manitoba Labour and Immigration funds the program as a pilot project. “They’re talented people and we’re going to make sure they’re going to fit into the Manitoba, prairie and Cana-

dian environment,” said U of M associate agriculture dean Brian Amiro, who oversees the program. Forty-six students from 23 countries have participated in the program since it began in 2007: 35 from the first four classes and 11 from the current one. Of those, 87 percent are either employed in agriculture now or will be this spring through their fourmonth work experience stint. The current class of 11 students already had their positions lined up in February, said program co-ordinator Alicia Franco-Espinosa. Instead of placing students with employers, IEAP trains them in jobhunting skills and directs them to interested companies. Interest in IEAP is growing steadily. Franco-Espinosa said the next class, which begins in September, has room for 15 students, but 140 people have made inquiries, including some from other provinces willing to move to Manitoba to take the course. To qualify for IEAP, candidates must have a degree in agriculture from another country and be either a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident. They must hold a valid driver’s licence and have been accepted for registration with the MIA. The program is intensive and geared at getting candidates into the workforce quickly because many have families and can ill afford taking a year off to go back to school, said Amiro. “Our goal is to have this program as tight, short and successful as possible because these are often people who financially cannot spend a lot of time in school.” Javier Bahamon Barajas and Cristina Neva Rivera, both 34 and married with two daughters, are a good example. They worked as swine technicians in a hog barn after arriving from Colombia in 2008 but wanted to use their professional qualifications as animal scientists. This spring, Cristina will spend her work experience with Agriculture Canada, while Javier will work for Big Sky Farms in Saskatchewan, where both have been offered permanent management positions. Allen Tyrchniewicz, a Winnipeg agricultural consultant and IEAP instructor, said students are highly motivated because they are already professionals looking to develop new careers in Canada. They are also in high demand by companies looking for qualified, experienced people who can hit the ground running. “O n e o f t h e rea s o n s t h e y g e t snapped up right away is that they bring skill sets that some of our domestic students don’t have,” said Tyrchniewicz, who, together with his father, Ed, teaches a course titled Practising the Profession of Agrology. “They’ve already worked in their fields. Many of them come in with five or seven years of experience. They’re here to stay and they’re very excited and pumped about getting jobs right away.” The real test for IEAP may come in the next few years. Amiro said provincial funding has run out and students must now pay full tuition, although program administrators are asking the U of M for assistance.

RESEARCH | DISEASE

New oat shines in crown rust trial Bred for resistance | Selected growers may test the hulled milling oat variety this spring BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Researchers are continuing to stack the genetic deck in the fight against crown rust. OT2069, a new white hulled milling oat variety from Winnipeg’s Cereal Research Centre, shows good disease resistance and yield potential. “We don’t want to see what happened with the Pc68 gene that was present in Assiniboia, Pinnacle, Medallion, Ronald, Furlong. All of Manitoba was planted to those cultivars and that resistance broke down fairly quickly,” said breeder Jennifer Mitchell-Fetch. “So I was trying to put more genes together so we could fight the battle against the crown rust pathogen. It is resistant right now, but if something comes in that overcomes that resistance, then we could be in a little bit of trouble.” The variety is the product of a CRC program that breeds disease resistant cultivars for the milling industry and producers in the eastern Prairies. The variety, which will be marketed by Secan, went into registration trials in 2009 and 2010. It’s since been accepted for registration and, while remaining a few years away from market, could be grown by select growers this spring. Yields in the 2009-10 Western Cooperative Oat Test were favourable. “It was similar to Morgan in the trial,” said Mitchell-Fetch. “Morgan has been our high-yielding check in the Western Co-op, so we’re pleased with something that’s disease resistant plus doesn’t have a yield penalty.” OT2069 shows resistance to smut and moderate resistance to stem rust and fusarium head blight. “The one claim to fame it had was it showed the lowest amount of DON accumulation from fusarium head blight than all of the other lines in the 2009-10 Western Co-op test,” she said. “It’s less of a problem in oats than it is in, like, wheat or barley. So the amount of DON accumulated is still low, but in this particular line it’s lower.” With a maturity between CDC Dancer and Leggett and a similar resistance to lodging as those varieties, Mitchell-Fetch said the variety might be OK to straight cut. Its physical qualities should meet milling standards, with a high test weight, protein, dietary fibre and beta glucan content. Mitchell-Fetch said beta glucan is what gives oats their “hear thhealthy” claim. “The producers, the ones that come to the meetings, are aware of the betaglucan content. I don’t know how much the general public would be aware of that because they’re not being paid necessarily a premium for the betaglucan content,” she said. “The millers haven’t come to the

point yet where they’re saying, ‘we’ll take your cultivar because it’s got higher beta glucan’ when a producer brings it to the mill.” She said OT2069 does show a higher oil content than other varieties, which while undesirable for milling purposes, could make it attractive for equine markets.

Manitoba vegetable purĂŠe maker seeks global markets Baby food purĂŠes | Canadian governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.5 million loan allows company to expand operation to commercial scale BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A Manitoba company is planning to turn locally grown culled vegetables into purĂŠes for baby food, soup and sauces. Canadian Prairie Garden Puree Products will work with market quality vegetables and vegetables that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suitable for table consumption because of visual defects, said Kelly Beaulieu, vice-president of the Portage la Prairie company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vegetables and fruit produced

in Manitoba are of premium quality, and the purĂŠe format we developed is a superior method for providing global export opportunity,â&#x20AC;? said Beaulieu. The federal government announced April 10 that it would loan the company $2.5 million, which will allow it to expand its operation to commercial scale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project is a great example of what we are trying to achieve with our investments in innovation and commercialization,â&#x20AC;? Portage-Lisgar MP Candice Hoeppner said. Beaulieu said 30 to 50 percent of

Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vegetable crop is normally culled. The plant that Beaulieu has used for the last two years can produce 500 pounds of purĂŠe per hour. The smallscale machine was installed to produce samples to the food industry to demonstrate the quality of the puree. She said industry response has been positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing ingredients to secondary processors, so basically the processors that create baby food, soups and sauces,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our unanimous response from

processors was that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen purĂŠe as nice as this.â&#x20AC;? The company can produce a purĂŠe with vibrant colours and a high nutrient content because the vegetables are steamed during the cooking process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a new process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been used for this type of processing before. And we have an exclusive on it (in North America),â&#x20AC;? said Beaulieu. No preservatives or colours are added to the purĂŠe, which means it is a natural product made solely from vegetables. The technology steams and sterilizes the vegetables, which

produces a purĂŠe with a two-year shelf life at room temperature. The federal loan will allow the company to build a new processing plant with technical assistance from the Food Development Centre in Portage. It will generate 7,500 lb. of puree per hour. If all goes well, Beaulieu said the new equipment would be installed and operational next winter. In the meantime, Canadian Prairie Garden will produce and sell purĂŠe to restaurants and food service companies in Manitoba.

THIRD WORLD | INVESTMENT

Rich nations urged to help Global food crisis tackled WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial powers have been urged to commit to boosting agriculture investments in poor countries and end hunger and malnutrition among the poor when they meet in May. A new report by ONE Campaign, cofounded by anti-poverty campaigners and rock stars Bono and Bob Geldof, said increased donor support for agricultural investment plans in 30 countries in Africa, Asia and Central America could lift 50 million people out of extreme poverty. Global food security will be one of the main development issues to be discussed when leaders from the wealthy Group of Eight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Canada and Russia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; meet near Washington May 18-19. The global food price crisis in 2008, which led to increased hunger, malnutrition and social unrest, highlighted the years of under-investment in agriculture in developing countries. Food prices have remained high and volatile since then, raising the food bills of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor countries. ONE said it would launch its Thrive campaign in France, Germany, Britain and the United States to highlight the need to tackle the causes of hunger. Bono and Geldof were instrumental in a global campaign that led to the cancellation of debts of some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest countries in 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ONEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new analysis shows that sustained investment in small-scale farming, together with a focus on ensuring children have enough nourishing food to eat, will have a huge impact on tens of millions of people around the world living in extreme poverty,â&#x20AC;? said Ben Leo, global policy director at ONE. Leo said ONEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s analysis identified 30 poor countries, home to about 26 percent of the 1.4 billion extreme poor, which have globally backed agricultural investment plans that need donor support. Among the countries are Bangladesh, Benin, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Zambia, Uganda, Tajikistan and Ethiopia.

A combination of low interest rates and high commodity prices have doubled land values in the last decade amid an agricultural boom. Nebraska cropland values soared by 38 percent during 2010, while Iowa was up 28 percent and Indiana up 27 percent, say Federal Reserve regional banks. A 160 acre farm near York in eastern Nebraska sold for $12,000 an acre in February, a record for land in the state. Soaring prices have prompted fears of a price bubble that could ruin farmers’ finances in an economic downturn. So far, farmers and lenders have been cautious and land prices are justified by likely returns. “Our expectation would be slower growth in farmland values,” said Jason Henderson of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, who monitors agricultural credit. He said farmers have avoided dangerous debt loads, and the question for the future is, “how much stamina is there” for restraint in a competitive market. Brent Gloy, an agricultural economist at Purdue University, said a string of profitable years gave farmers the money to chase land when it came on the market. Prices are reaching the point where buyers need corn prices to average $5 a bushel, a historically high level, to earn enough from the land to pay for it. “The potential to get ahead of ourselves is high,” he said. “My sense is the farmland market is, hopefully, ready to slow down.… I don’t think it’s going to soften at all.” Ken Keegan, chief risk officer for Farm Credit Services of America, said volatile market prices and tight global grain supplies are key factors in land prices. The Omaha-based lender takes a conservative approach to lending that assumes corn prices will average $4.60 a bushel over the long term and capitalization rates will average four percent. It also limits its share to 65 percent of a loan that would be feasible under those parameters. “If there is a bubble, it is not a debtfueled bubble,” said Keegan, which would limit the impact of a price deflation. “Most lenders are being very cautious,” he said. Nationwide, farmland values hit $2,350 an acre in 2011, up 6.8 percent from 2010 and double $1,150 an acre in 2001. Far mers had record net cash income in 2011, following a buoyant 2010, although income is forecast to fall this year, in step with crop prices. The farm-sector boom that began in 2006 has allowed farmers to upgrade their equipment and build enough grain bins to expand on-farm storage capacity by 10 percent.

LIVESTOCK | ANTIBIOTICS

U.S. urges voluntary reduction of antibiotics Medical use only | The FDA wants a voluntary phase-out of drugs for non-medical purposes rather than imposing a ban WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. regulators have urged food producers to voluntarily stop using antibiotics in livestock for non-medical uses as part of a broad effort to prevent the rise of drug-resistant â&#x20AC;&#x153;superbugs.â&#x20AC;? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said antibiotics should be used only under the supervision of a veterinarian to prevent or treat illnesses in animals. It asked companies to start phasing out the use of antibiotics for nonmedical purposes such as promoting growth, and said that process could take three years. The FDA had previously banned certain types of antibiotics, such as cephalosporins, for non-medical uses in livestock. The move to limit the drugs could affect large meat producers such as Tyson Foods Inc., Cargill Inc. and Hormel Foods Corp. Some antibiotics are specifically approved for growth promotion because they have been shown to help animals better absorb nutrients in their feed, said Dave Warner, a spokesperson for the National Pork Producers Council. They also keep animals from getting sick, he added. Environmental groups have long argued that using common antibiotics such as tetracyclines and penicillin in animal feed has contributed to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans, which are sometimes called superbugs. Some groups said the FDA should make limits on antibiotics mandatory rather than voluntary. Scientists say overuse of antibiotics, whether in people or animals, can lead to bacterial resistance as resistant strains become dominant. Perhaps the most publicized antibiotic-resistant bacteria are the methicillin-resistant staphylococcus bugs known as MRSA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new strategy will ensure farmers and veterinarians can care for animals while ensuring the medicines people need remain safe and effective,â&#x20AC;? FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg said. Michael Taylor, deputy FDA commissioner for food, said veterinary oversight should ensure antibiotics are used properly and only when

necessary, limiting resistance. Food producers have not had to consult veterinarians because common antibiotics have long been available to farmers without a prescription. A federal judge last month ordered the FDA to start proceedings to withdraw approval for the nontherapeutic use of some common antibiotics in animal feed, based on a lawsuit filed by environmental groups. The FDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent announcement was based on draft rules for antibiotics that it issued in 2010, and was unrelated to the court ruling, the agency said. The FDA said it is still deciding whether to appeal the March ruling. The courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision would have made antibiotic withdrawal mandatory, and some groups criticized the FDA for trusting companies to stop overuse on their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not an issue where trust should be the measure,â&#x20AC;? said Richard Wood, chair of Keep Antibiotics Working, a coalition of environmental groups that push for measures to combat antibiotic resistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an issue where the measure is whether or not the FDA has fulfilled its authority of protecting public health.â&#x20AC;? Louise Slaughter, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York who has proposed legislation to stop misuse of antibiotics, also urged the FDA to do more. The FDA said voluntary action is a faster process than banning all nonmedical uses of antibiotics, which requires separate court hearings for every one of the couple hundred drugs involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think by virtue of the commitments companies have made ... we can get to that result over the next few years rather than litigating over the next couple of decades,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said. Industry groups said producers have already started to cut back on antibiotics and rely on veterinary supervision. But some in the industry also criticized the FDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision, with the National Pork Producers Council saying it would hurt animal health and increase the cost of producing food.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the requirement for (veterinarians) could be problematic, particularly for smaller producers or producers in remote areas who may not have regular access to veterinary services,â&#x20AC;? said council president R.C. Hunt, a pork producer from Wilson, North Carolina. The FDA said it would work with smaller companies to help them comply with the recommendations.

Chinese farmers to seed more corn

China and South Asia are becoming major corn producers. |

BEIJING, China (Reuters) — Chinese farmers are set to expand corn acreage more than two percent this year to reach the largest spread ever, despite a growth rate flat with last year, as record domestic prices and grain subsidies by the Chinese government cut into soybean acreages. The lower soybean acreage will ensure imports by China, the world’s top buyer of the oilseed, stay robust while a better corn harvest will improve supply. China is the world’s second largest consumer of corn, of which it has been a net importer since 2009, after demand growth outpaced production.

TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) — American meat exporters expect beef export volumes to Japan to jump about a quarter this year as they see a strong chance Tokyo will relax import regulations put in place to control BSE, the head of a key U.S. export group said. Japan only allows imports of U.S. and Canadian beef from cattle aged 20 months or less, but its Food Safety Commission is assessing the risk of easing the limit to 30 months. Although the rules, in place since 2005, freed up U.S. beef imports after a total ban in 2003, they have capped U.S. imports while Australian beef has largely retained its dominant market share in Japan’s 500,000 tonnes-a-year market for imported beef. “I’m very enthused that finally Japan’s Food Safety Commission is looking at this 20 month level and possibly going beyond 20 months,” Philip Seng, chair of the U.S. Meat Export Federation, told a news conference during a visit to Tokyo. “We expect the movement during this year.” The federation expects U.S. beef exports to Japan to rise to 150,000 tonnes this year from 120,000 in 2011, Seng said, taking into account the chance of deregulation of the import curbs. The value of U.S. beef exports to Japan could rise by $1 billion if the import curbs are relaxed, the federation has said. DROUGHT

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — A drought affecting southeastern England has spread further north to parts of Yorkshire, as another dry month depleted river levels and underground water supplies, the U.K.’s Environment Agency said.

The rivers Don, Rother, Hull and Derwent are low or very low for the time of year but public water supplies are unlikely to be affected, the agency said in a statement. The agency appealed to farmers and businesses to use water wisely and share available resources. “Today south and east Yorkshire have moved into official drought status, reflecting the impact that this extremely dry period is having

A large part of England is already in drought after extremely low rainfall for two winters, which has affected much of the southeast, including London, and East Anglia.

Sofina Foods Inc. plans growth with Fearmans buy

FCC offers program for young farmers

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Sofina Foods Inc. is buying Fearmans Pork from Sun Capital Partners Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Fearmans is Ontario’s largest pork plant. Sun Capital bought the Burlington facility and the Fearmans trademark from Maple Leaf in late 2010 and operated the plant as a standalone business. Sofina, a growing, private, family owned Canadian food company headquartered in Markham, Ont., will take possession of Fearmans once regulatory approvals are received. “This acquisition provides Sofina with secure access to high quality raw materials that will allow us to grow our fresh meat markets and build and

sustain our further processed protein business,” Sofina chair and chief executive officer Michael Latifi said in a news release. Sofina’s branded products include Lilydale, Fletcher’s, Vienna, Cuddy and Quality Meats. With the Fearmans plant, Sofina Foods will operate 12 manufacturing facilities in Canada and one in the northwestern United States. It has more than 3,000 employees. Marc Leder, co-CEO at Sun Capital Partners, said Fearmans has evolved well as a standalone business. “Management has effectively created an infrastructure and stabilized hog procurement, which assures the region’s hog farmers that they have a committed and capable partner. Sofina Foods is a natural steward for the next stage of its growth.”

Focus on under 40 | The loan program is to help younger farmers get into the business or expand SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new initiative from Farm Credit Canada could help 1,000 Canadians start or expand their farm operations. President Greg Stewart revealed details of FCC’s new $500 million Young Farmer Loan program at a news conference last week on a farm near Saskatoon. Under the program, FCC will offer loans of up to $500,000 for purchase or improvement of farmland and buildings. “This is just another program that we’re trying to launch to help support young farmers even more, given that land prices are going up,” said Stewart. “It’s a capital intensive business.” Thirty-five-year old Lee Norheim operates a mixed grain and cattle operation outside of Saskatoon under a partnership with his mother. Ten months ago, he left his off-farm job and starting farming full-time. “I’m extremely excited about agriculture right now,” he said. “We’ve really never seen a time like this where both the grain commodities are high as well as the beef commodity is high.... If we have a few more good years, a young producer could really set themselves up for a

expects the program to reach its cap within the calendar year, with interest coming from young farmers conducting an intergenerational transfer for the first time or producers looking to grow their business. “This may be the opportunity for those who were on the fence,” he said. “It’ll be a mix of everybody.” Almost one-third of FCC’s loans were given to young Canadian producers in 2011, said Stewart. “Most of the young farmers I talk with are basically in a continual expansion mode,” said Norheim, “both because they’re aggressive young individuals, but also because it’s required to be competitive in the business.”

GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS | ALFALFA

Halting debate on GM alfalfa threat to democracy: MP MP says Conservatives are being blackmailed by biotech industry BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Conservative MPs on the House of Commons agriculture committee recently closed down public debate on whether GM alfalfa should be approved for sale in Canada or subject to a moratorium. During a committee hearing on value chain implications for the next generation of farm programs, British Columbia New Democrat Alex Atamanenko tried to use his committee time to propose a motion that there be a moratorium on approval of any GM alfalfa variety proposed for commercialization. G M a l f a l f a ha s a l re a d y b e e n approved for use in the United States. Saskatchewan Conservative Randy Hoback argued that Atamanenko was misusing his committee time when there were witnesses on another topic and recommended that the discussion be held in secret. The Conservative majority on the committee agreed. Liberal MP Frank Valeriote asked that the debate be held in public, but to no avail. Conservative MPs complained about the motion for almost half an hour in private session and attacked Atamanenko for raising the issue out of turn and damaging Canada’s reputation as being open for research investment governed by a sciencebased approval process. The motion did not come to a vote before chair Larry Miller adjourned the meeting. The GM alfalfa issue was debated extensively in public during the last Parliament, when the Conservatives did not have a majority and the agriculture committee held hearings on biotechnology. However, the Conservative majority used a closed meeting of the committee at the beginning of the current Parliament last autumn to refuse to allow the biotechnology study to continue. Atamanenko said in an April 12 interview from his southeastern B.C. riding that the Conservative decision to kill the GM alfalfa debate and to do so in secret session is typical of the government now in majority. Opposition parties have complained that public debate has been shut down on many of the issues that their MPs have proposed at various committees when the Conservative majority moves the discussion into closed sessions. “It appears the Conservatives don’t want anything controversial, anything that is not on their agenda, discussed in public,” he said. “I think this is an affront to the democratic process. We need public debate on these issues, even if they don’t want to and they have the numbers to eventually win.” Atamanenko said the Conservative argument on the GM alfalfa moratorium proposal, moved in the last Parliament by Liberal Wayne Easter, is that the mere discussion of resistance to genetically modified

products will drive away industry investment. “I’m being told by Conservatives that the industry contributes to research and if we even think of passing this motion, they’re threatening to pull out,” he said. “That’s blackmail, and here we have a government listening to the biotech industry over the democratic right to debate. This is a threat to

existing farmers and the organic sector and I have not talked to a single farmer that wants this and yet the government refuses to discuss it in public.” He said his proposal is to halt approval until the ramifications are considered. “It is frustrating and shameful that they will not allow that debate to happen.”

FARM ACCIDENT | ELECTROCUTION

Widow wants warnings for low hanging electrical wires Old power line hazards | Husband and farm hand were killed when auger contacted an overhead line BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — It’s been more than a year since Catherine HicksKowalchuk’s husband and his helper were killed when their grain auger hit a low hanging power line in an abandoned farmyard. As Hicks-Kowalchuk drives around the country, she can’t help noticing how many low, old power lines are in other abandoned farm sites, creating a hazard for farmers. “I think there needs to be a warning out there,” said Hicks-Kowalchuk of South Cooking Lake, Alta, standing in the farmyard where her husband died. “I hate to think other farmers will blunder into these wires. Equipment is big and there are a lot of old lines in old abandoned farm sites.” In December 2010, Kowalchuk, 54, and his helper, Peter Berezanski, 62, had just finished moving grain into a grain truck. The grain was stored in bins on the yard where land was rented. The men had finished and were pushing the heavy auger to hook it to the back of the grain truck for transport. The old, single strand of wire was difficult to see against the sky in the fading light, and the pair was electrocuted with a 14,000 volt shock. “It was almost invisible against the blue sky and the darn thing was, in

fact, too low.” When the auger was removed, the overhead power line measured almost five metres to the ground. The 10 ½ metre poles were 120 metres apart, allowing the wires to sag in the middle. An accident report by Alberta’s municipal affairs department said the “power line appeared to be very old (1950 approximately).” The report also said the protective ground was broken near the roadway. “Power line system neutral conductor was broken and was buried under grass at the roadway and wound into tree that had fallen at the transformer end of this rural tap span,” it said. Hicks-Kowalchuk said modern electrical code requires electrical wires to be checked twice a year and the wire to be at least 5 ½ metres from the ground. She said Epcor, the electricity supplier, should have ensured the wires were up to code, even though no one had lived on the property for years. Epcor spokesperson Tim le Riche said the wires in the farmyard followed the applicable code. “Codes have changed over the years,” said le Riche.

CROP DISEASE | ERGOT

Ergot blamed on weather, poor rotations Disease management | Growers advised to use certified seed and increase seeding rate BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A hard-to-control fungal disease that comes and goes in cereal crops has been on a rampage of late. “Close to 30 percent of the hard red spring (wheat) in Alberta last year was downgraded due to ergot, so that’s a pretty significant level,” said Kelly Turkington, a research scientist with Agriculture Canada’s Lacombe Research Centre. Ergot usually doesn’t pose nearly as much of a problem as other cereal diseases, such as fusarium and leaf spot diseases. However, it can cause serious downgrading when it does arise because the ergot bodies contain mycotoxins, which can cause significant health problems in humans and animals. Twenty-eight percent of red spring wheat deliveries in Alberta, 18 percent in Saskatchewan and 16 percent in Manitoba were downgraded in 2011 because of ergot contamination. The damage was 16 percent, five percent and eight percent in the previous year. Wet weather in June and July of the last two years is the main culprit, which is why the disease was more prevalent in Alberta, where precipitation levels were 115 to 200 percent of average in June and July last year compared to 40 to 85 percent of normal in Manitoba. Cooler temperatures in the western half of the Prairies contributed to increased disease pressure. Ergot infection happens during flowering, and cool weather extends the flowering window. Researchers also blame the increasing popularity of the canolacereal-canola-cereal rotation across the Prairies. They used to believe a one-year hiatus from growing a cereal host crop would be sufficient to allow for natural destruction of pathogen inoculum in or on the soil. “We’re starting to think, ‘well, maybe that’s just simply not long enough,’ ” said Turkington.

KELLY TURKINGTON AGRICULTURE CANADA

Unfortunately there is no silver bullet for managing ergot. “It’s a difficult disease to control because we don’t really have resistance (built into varieties),” said Turkington. “We’re probably a ways off from that.” Spraying with a fungicide is not recommended. “You’re simply not getting the chemical to the tissues that you’re wanting to protect, which is the ovary tissue in that flower,” he said. Instead, farmers need to adopt a holistic approach to disease management — from seeding right through to harvest. Growers might want to consider using certified seed with low levels of ergot and increasing their seeding rates because a thin crop will have more tillering, which increases the potential period for infection. Farmers will also want to keep a close eye on grasses growing along the margins, headlands or roadways adjacent to their fields. Grasses are excellent hosts for ergot and should be mowed before heading to prevent a potential source of inoculum. Copper and boron deficiencies can lead to pollen sterility, forcing normally self-pollinated cereals like wheat and barley to open their flowers to access pollen from adjacent plants. That exposes the plant to ergot spores, infecting the female reproductive structures. Copper has been promoted as a cure-all for ergot infection, but cool temperatures at heading and late herbicide applications can also cause pollen sterility. Turkington said adding more copper or boron to a field that has adequate levels of the minerals doesn’t

provide any more protection against ergot infection. Crops that have ergot infection should be left out in the field longer than usual during harvest because the ergot bodies become loosely attached to the cereal heads and can be dislodged by strong wind. Growers might want to harvest and bin the headlands of their fields separately because that is the area where infection is likely to be the greatest

due to surrounding grassy areas. Farmers can also use gravity tables and colour sorters to clean ergot bodies out of their grain if it proves economical. Turkington said it remains to be seen how much damage ergot will cause this year. There are definitely some hot spots where the inoculum undoubtedly exists in the soil, but the extent of infection depends on what the

weather brings this summer. Agriculture Canada plant pathologist Jim Menzies has identified a durum line with very good resistance to ergot. The line is being used in a durum breeding program, and studies are underway to discover the genetics behind the resistance and identify molecular markers so the source of resistance can be used in plant breeding programs.

CROP DISEASE | ERGOT

Copper deficiency causes ergot, declares ‘Dr. Copper’ Disease specialist says research supports his claim that the fungus is caused by a lack of copper BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Alberta plant disease and micronutrient specialist Ieuan Evans has pounded his pulpit for the last 15 years proclaiming the gospel of copper. To Evans, the evidence and science is clear. Ergot, the grade-robbing fungus in cereal grains, is caused by a deficiency in copper. About 30 percent of the fields in Alberta and 10 to 15 percent of the fields in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are deficient in copper. Sandy soil and soil high in organic matter are chronically deficient in copper, especially in central Alberta. Heavy black soil may be low in copper in the top six inches, but in normal years the roots reach down to the lower layers to pick up copper. In wet years, the saturated subsoil can cause copper deficiency. Convincing agronomists, farmers and other scientists that copper and ergot are connected is like trying to convert a Baptist to a Catholic, Evans said recently during a crop production day at the UFA farm store in Camrose. “There are people with their minds made up,” said Evans, who has been dubbed Dr. Copper. “You’ve got these loony bins who go around and say I don’t think it’s copper that causes ergot. We’re not talking beliefs. We’re talking science, actual stuff. We did this work year after year on copper in this area. Copper deficiency is a huge problem,” said Evans. “Who the hell cares about beliefs and opinions. These are facts, and facts are the things that give you the answers.” He said his arguments are supported by a number of research papers, including his own research during his time with Alberta Agriculture. Evans believes that a deficiency of copper in the soil is why some crops get ergot and others don’t when they’re subjected to the same environmental conditions. “I’ve gone through fields in Saskatchewan where there was 10 percent rye contamination of wheat. Every rye plant had ergot. Not a single bloody wheat plant — and we spent three hours in the field — had any

ergot in it and there was tons of inoculums going around that field,” said Evans. Wheat and barley plants don’t open their flowers when they have enough copper. Copper deficiency causes pollen sterility. The normally closed pollinated flowers are forced to open because they can’t get pollen. The flowers can be infected with ergot spores when they are open. “Ergot doesn’t crawl in like an insect. It has to float in. If you have low copper, you get pollen sterility. Pollen sterility causes the bloody wheat flower to open up like a crocus or a tulip. If it opens up, it’s liable to get ergot.” Knowing there is a copper deficiency and solving the problem of copper deficiency isn’t easy. Foliar applications of copper during the boot stage are effective treatments. Foliar copper applied at late tillering will also increase yields. Fall applications of copper sulfate after the crop is removed are the easiest and will likely have the longest impact, said Ryan Immerkar, an AgriTrend crop adviser from Swan River, Man. One of his clients spent $20,000 applying copper sulfate to a field last fall. Immerkar said ergot wasn’t a large problem, but the field always yielded low compared to other wheat fields. Canola will be seeded this spring and wheat next year because it takes time for the copper to be absorbed into the soil. “We are expecting great things,” said Immerkar.

MACHINERY | FORAGE

Growers upgrade to cash in on forage prices Better machinery | Producers are investing in sophisticated equipment to save time and speed drying BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

High grain prices are prompting farmers across North America to convert their hayland into cropland, which is good news for serious forage producers. There are internet reports of hay delivered in Texas for $380 US per ton, while prices in the northern border states exceed $200 per ton. A hay dealer in Langley, B.C., is listing timothy, orchard grass and alfalfa at $290 to $400 a ton. Canadian prairie forage producers are not yet seeing those kinds of prices, but the trend toward fewer forage acres across the continent will eventually push prices higher. It’s likely that a significant amount of transportation will be required to realize those prices. Hay and forage producers will have to do everything possible to get all they can out of every acre to take full advantage of this situation, says Kevin Shinners, an agricultural engineer at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. “That means drying the crop as quickly as possible by conditioning, getting it into storage and keeping it protected so we maintain its value,” Shinners said. “Especially when hay prices are $200 to $300 per ton, baling when the moisture content is too high or storing hay poorly has real negative economic impacts.” Shinners sees a trend toward more sophisticated, efficient equipment such as self-propelled harvesters and custom harvesters that handle more acreage. For larger producers and custom harvesters, it’s all about productivity, rapid road transport and efficiency. Case IH forage manager Brett DeVries say said producers need reli-

At 19 feet wide, the RD 193 is the largest disc header in the industry and requires less horsepower to operate than previous models. Saving time is also important, which is where large square bales and round bales that don’t require tying can help. “On a Case IH round baler, you can choose twine or net wrap with the

push of a button,” he said. “On the large square baler there’s an auto loop system, so you don’t have to grease the baler every day. It greases automatically, saving time and money.” Shinners said telematics will soon change the way hay is produced and harvested. It will let a farmer remotely capture data from harvesters

and tractors. “A farmer can sit at a computer and see if the harvester is moving in the field and can tell when another truck or crew is needed,” he said. “If we can track things like fuel use and tonnage in each field, we can really start to get a handle on costs, figure out where there are inefficiencies and determine how to overcome those problems. The productivity benefits of this type of system are obvious.” Added DeVries: “A bale weight system lets you monitor and control bale density, shape, weight and length, all from the cab. You can monitor the moisture content in each bale, so you know exactly what you’re putting up.

“With telematics, we’ll also be able to direct all that information to a computer, along with real-time information about how the equipment is operating. “Starting this spring, dealers will retrofit AFS Connect Manager and AFS Connect Executive packages on fleets of both Case IH and competitive equipment as part of its commercial introduction of Case IH telematics technology.” A radio frequency identification tag on a bale can store information about the quality of the bale, including which field it’s from, where in the field it was made and its moisture content. Producers can then feed the highest-moisture bales sooner and store

Wet weather is an enemy of forage producers because of the extended time hay needs to lay out in the sun to dry so producers are buying better equipment to help get the hay in sooner. | CASE IH PHOTO the driest-moisture bales longer. They can also decide which bales to sell first and how to price them. Quality and value depend to a great extent on weather because hay and hayage often require extended drying time in the field. Shinner said producers can’t change bad weather, but they can take steps to mollify its impact. “One of the most important things is to utilize the sun’s energy to the maximum extent,” he said. “At cutting, lay that crop down as wide as possible so that almost every square foot of the field is occupied by drying crop.” Anything a farmer can do to dry hay quicker so that they can get it out of the field and miss a rainstorm is money well spent. A mower conditioner is a good tool to speed dry down. “Engineers have done decades of studies that show the advantages of mechanically conditioning the stem and what it does to improve drying rates,” Shinners said. “A mower conditioner also gives you flexibility to produce either dry hay or haylage.” He admitted his recommendation to always mechanically condition haylage is controversial because some people suggest that they can slow down the drying rate by not conditioning. Once it reaches the ideal chopping moisture content, they argue, it will stay there for a longer period of time. “However, without conditioning, the crop will take longer to get to the optimum moisture content, and you put the crop at risk of weather damage,” Shinners said. “I’m a proponent of conditioning at all times. You shorten the period of time to get to the optimum moisture content, so we can get that crop off the field and protected.” He cautioned growers to avoid tedding or raking when the leaves are brittle. Shinners said there are three keys to quality hay and haylage: cut it at the right stage of maturity, dry it as quickly as possible and be gentle with the crop. “Progressive dairies recognize that the way to maintain forage quality is to have high productivity harvesting equipment,” he said. “When the weather is right and the crop is mature, you can’t plod along like Grandpa did. You need to get through those acres as quickly as you can, and get into the next growing cycle. In Wisconsin, we’re trying to cut haylage on a 28 to 30 day cutting cycle to have more uniform crop quality and higher quality forage.” DeVries said it’s a similar story for commercial hay producers in the western States, where the rule of thumb is to cut and bale it in three to four days. Shinners reminded growers to make sure the conditioning rolls are

s e t u p c o r re c t l y t o re d u c e t h e mechanical resistance of moisture leaving the plant. The clearance needs to be set so the stem is cracked every three to four inches to open up routes for water to leave the plant.

Accurate forecast on-the-go Localized information | Sensor gathers data on wind speed and direction so sprayer operator can make appropriate adjustments BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Weather is the main factor determining whether or not to spray, but it’s often difficult to get accurate information about a specific field. Ideally, an operator would like to merge accurate forecasts for the general area in which he’s spraying with localized data from a sensor within the one acre immediately surrounding his sprayer. Nice dream.

It would be even better if the dream system linked highly localized data to the area forecast with the GPS on the sprayer. Even better if it would then bundle all that information into a system that warns about approaching weather patterns and the imminence of nospray weather. Wake up. It’s not a dream.

ment Solutions. “It’s called John Deere Mobile Weather and it uses a third party sensor mounted on your sprayer along with forecast information from Airmar,” said Tapper. Airmar is an independent weather service operating around the globe. “The sensor on your sprayer is an Airmar Weather Station. It measures temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction,” Tapper said. Wind speed and direction are automatically corrected to compensate for the sprayer travelling across the field. All GPS data comes from the regular GreenStar on the cab roof. “Localized weather data gathered from the Airmar Weather Station on your sprayer goes to the application controller 1120 and interfaces with your GreenStar display. It tells the operator exactly what’s going on in real time,” she said. “The operator can instantly pull up the weather screen to see what’s happening right now in the field where he’s spraying and what’s coming. “You can set up your own customizable alert system triggered by parameters of wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity that you determine.” The operator can customize the system for each field, depending on the chemical being applied, nearby fields and adjacent livestock operations. “When you pull up the weather screen, all the values are displayed. If a no-spray condition is approaching, the background of the screen turns red. The operator can’t help but see it. It tells the operator which parameter will be exceeded.” The operator then decides the best course of action. Tapper said Mobile Weather is tailored for applicators who need precise weather information to make proper product application and other weather-related decisions. Mobile Weather works with John Deere GreenStar 2 or GreenStar 3 displays, but only the GreenStar 3 2630 Display can document weather data that can be transferred to Apex or other third party farm management software for analysis and record keeping. Mobile Weather enables operators to make in-cab product application decisions based on location-specific weather data. In addition, operators don’t have to rely on hand-held devices or make multiple stops to manually check and record weather conditions when applying product. Mobile Weather is appropriate for applicators who need to capture weather information as part of their record keeping, documentation and data analysis, or for maintaining regulatory compliance. “It integrates easily into existing sprayer and GreenStar displays without the need for additional handheld devices or displays to provide on-the-go weather monitoring,” said Tapper. Mobile Weather can be mounted on any 4940, 4930, 4830 and 4730 selfpropelled sprayers with GreenStar displays.

Analyze the problem before trying to solve it INSIDE MACHINES

HENRY GUENTER

hen something goes wrong during the pressure cooker times of seeding, harvesting and spraying, you often find that you can’t see the forest for the trees. When it comes to heavy equipment, that is the time to pause rather than think that you must react immediately. You will have a better chance of quickly solving the problem if you stop, look, and listen. For example, many years ago Massey Fergusson came to us with a new combine called the 9720. My boss phoned to tell me that all the filters were blowing off the unit that runs the header within a minute of starting it. He had followed the routing of the oil through the lines and the filter head. As he was talking, I heard him say, “and it goes into the inside of the filter, it goes through the filter and out the other side.” I said, “stop, did you hear what you just said? You said the oil flowed through the filter from the inside. Where is the dirt going to be and where is it on every filter you have ever looked at? Turn your filter head half a turn so your incoming port will line up with the line coming into the filter head.” The stress of trying to manage the problem hadn’t allowed him to see the obvious. When working out mechanical problems, try to think about the whole process that the machine is going through where it fails. It takes a clear head to do that, but it will save you time and maybe a wasted trip to the yard or town. Another dealer was showing off a new combine he was marketing. The prospective customer liked it and made a couple of rounds in the field. The dealer tried to run it, but every time he got on the combine, it would stop within a minute. He said it was just as though someone had switched it off. It happened over and over again and it didn’t appear to be a reliable machine. Two things to think about here. Maybe someone did switch it off. And what is different about you from all the other people who have driven that machine. When I asked him, he replied, “I am about 100 pounds lighter than all of the other folks who have run the machine.” “And how much weight do you need to keep that safety switch under the seat on?” I asked. A farmer had just bought a new combine. The dealer phoned me and said the unit was losing horsepower. I asked him how he knew it was losing engine power. “Well, the customer keeps insisting on it. He says it’s slowing down under load,” said the dealer. The dealer was so frustrated that I could not get any sense out of him. He already had changed filters and was ready to go into the engine looking for a cause. We took it out in the

field and sure enough, after about 10 minutes it gradually slowed down. I said this time let’s let it go all the way and just see what happens. The owner had never done this. It soon b e c ame e v i d e nt t hat t h e engine was not slowing down at all. Instead, the entire threshing component was slowing down and finally stopped, without stalling the engine. If the machine was plugging, how much load should be on that engine? The engine should be stalling, but it wasn’t. What does that leave? The answer was the connection between the engine and the drive. A belt held tight by an electrically operated screw type tightener had

failed and would fail only after it ran for a time. From then on it was easy to find exactly what was wrong. Here’s where my face was red. We once had a new combine design that would plug solid in the area under the walkers and the grain pan. It would do this every day consistently at about 4 p.m., even in the best harvesting weather. Everybody complained about it. The company engineers worked on the premise that you had to open up that opening so the material could get out faster. They moved bearings, ground off every sharp object in its path and even replaced some parts. And I was spouting the same line about making more room.

One day a mechanic stopped me and said, “Just listen to yourself. You know better than to accept someone else’s conclusions. Look at the straw. Is it long straw or chaff?” I said it was long straw. And where should the long straw be? It should be up on the walkers. The mechanic told me I should be working on why it was down on the grain pan in the first place. We found the flaw in the design right away. But it took someone who was not under pressure and could think clearly to point us in the right direction.

Prospero is a tiny field-roving robot that intends to replace the tractor and seeder. Grain growers still have a few years to get used to the idea, but it could soon be a reality in row crops. This autonomous micro planter (AMP), which is the brainchild of robotics specialist Dave Dorhout of Iowa, pushes the concept of robotic farming to a new and unexpected outer limit. The current thinking is that robot-

ultimate in precision farming, analyzing each individual spot where a seed will go down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I already have one Prospero built and operating as intended,â&#x20AC;? said Dorhout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It identifies a very specific point where the seed should go, places the seed at the correct depth with a probe, marks the spot with a dye so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not disturbed, then moves to the next spot. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to build a fleet of 20 or more so we can try it out for real on a whole field.â&#x20AC;? Dorhout envisions an army of small robots attacking a corn or soybean field thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready for planting. Each soldier has the capacity to do a quick analysis on the five sq. inch target and select the most appropriate hybrid variety. In its backpack, each soldier carries fertilizers, lime, herbicides and seed varieties, which the farmer feels will meet the needs of this field. The Prospero checks soil moisture and places the seed at the best depth. The probe places the appropriate pop-up and other fertilizers for that small piece of land, along with preemergent herbicides. It can do a quick pH test and apply lime if needed. Robots can operate 24 hours a day, rain or shine. And because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be cheap, there are a lot of them. They would be grouped in platoons of 10 to 20 soldiers, which report to a platoon captain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would be a larger, smarter robot about the size of a riding lawnmower,â&#x20AC;? Dorhout said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This robot keeps all the smaller robots supplied with seed and fertilizer so they keep running without stops. But first, this master robot drives a perimeter around the field to define the boundaries of the seeding area with GPS. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a shepherd. It guides the swarm across the field, ensuring they plant every five sq. inch square and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working efficiently. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably always be within 50 feet of the shepherd.â&#x20AC;? Depending on field size and time constraints, one field may have one platoon or maybe three or four working at one time. Either way, when the seeding operation is done, every five-inch square will have been managed with a high degree of precision, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no compaction or ruts. When too many robots congregate in one area, the crowded ones send out a red light alert, signalling nearby planters to spread out. They can spread out in any direction within the parameters of the field, wherever they detect thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a need. Robots send out a green signal when they enter virgin ground or ground thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sparsely seeded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the planting operation is complete, you have uniform seed placement across the field.â&#x20AC;? Dorhout said the Prospero is not advanced technology, which is what puts it into the realm of being financially viable. For a view of Prospero, visit YouTube VanMunch36. The Prospero s expected to make its first public debut at the Fruit and Vegetable Tech X-Change July 12-14 in St. Williams, Ont. For more information, contact Dorhout at ddorhout@dorhoutrd. com.

PLANT RESEARCH | COMPUTER MODELLING

Leaf research predicts shape of things to come Molecular signals | Understanding how plants grow will help improve production and preserve diversity BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Leaves come in all shapes and sizes. But why is that, and how do they form? How do they turn from a tiny bud of a few cells to the individual complex shapes of each plant species? Scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC) in Norwich, U.K., have discovered simple rules that control leaf shape during growth. Using these rules, they have developed the first computational model to accurately emulate leaf growth from a bud in virtual form. “A bud does not grow in all directions at the same rate,” said Sam-

antha Fox, a plant researcher with the JIC and lead author of the report, Generation of Leaf Shape through Early Patterns of Growth and Tissue Polarity, published in the journal Science. “Other w ise, leaves would be domed like a bud, not flat with a pointed tip.” To find out how plant growth works, Fox said researchers developed a process using computer modelling to recreate a virtual growing leaf. A novel kind of imaging helped them visualize the cells dividing and expanding, and a mathematical model simulated growing the leaf in an attempt to understand the procedure. The plant they used in their study

was arabidopsis, a relative of rapeseed. First, they filmed a growing leaf to help create the model that would simulate the growing process. Then they filmed the actual cells and tracked each one as the plant grew. The researchers needed to check the workings behind the visual changes and test them in normal and mutant plants. They grew seedlings under the microscope and filmed every stage of growth to capture cell divisions and expansions as they actually happened. By analyzing the imaging data, they made many measurements of the leaf as it grew over time and then used computational modelling to

understand its growth stages. This is not the same as animating the growth of a leaf. Fox said in a video prepared by the JIC that it is much more difficult to make a leaf grow dynamically from a bud and realistically recreate the shape of the leaf as it is seen biologically. By studying the images, they have amassed a wealth of information to help them understand the rules behind making a leaf. “The model is not just based on drawings of leaf shapes at different stages,” said professor Enrico Coen, corresponding author. “To accurately recreate dynamic growth from bud to leaf, we had to establish the mathematical rules governing how leaf shapes are formed.”

AgriStability deadline fast approaching April 30 is the deadline for producers to enrol in the 2012 AgriStability Program and pay program fees without penalty. Producers wanting to participate in the AgriStability Program for the first time or wishing to re-join the program must request a New Participant Package by April 30, 2012.

Computational modelling can give us a deeper and more rapid understanding of the biological systems that are vital to life on Earth. DOUGLAS KELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES RESEARCH COUNCIL

With that information programmed into the model, it could run independently to build a virtual but realistic leaf. Fox said that despite the wide variety of leaf shapes, there are not a lot of complicated ways in which the leaves form. Researchers discovered that plants have an inbuilt system for detecting orientation, rather like an inbuilt compass. Instead of using a magnetic field, they have a molecular pattern that they produce themselves with reference points such as the base and the tip, rather than north and south on a compass. These molecular signals guide the axis on which they grow, and the orientation and axis changes as plant tissues deform during growth. The molecular signals become patterned from an early stage within the bud, helping the leaf shape emerge. “This molecular pattern is fixed at a really early stage of development,” said Fox. “Once we realized that, it was possible to generate lots of different shapes, based on a simple system.” Researchers marked spots on the small bud to follow the growth, and as it grew they were able to see where the growth originated. They discovered that the molecular pattern is already present when a bud starts to divide and turn into a new leaf. Part of this pattern is to transform the dome-shaped bud into a flattened leaf. However, if this dome shape were to grow equally in all directions, the end result would be a large domed appendage. The molecular patterning governs most of the growth coming from the base of the tiny bud and early leaf. The computational model can now be used to help identify the genes that control leaf shape and whether different genes are behind different shapes. The research is a major breakthrough in the understanding of how plants grow, which will help improve food and fuel production and preserve diversity. The goal now is to extend the models to include more virtual complex leaves such as maples with their finger-shaped leaves. “This exciting research highlights the potential of using computer and mathematical models for biological research to help us tackle complex questions and make predictions for the future,” said professor Douglas CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

VITERRA | GLENCORE PURCHASE

Viterra shareholders to vote on sale If shareholders agree to sell to Glencore, it then needs regulatory approval (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shareholders in Viterra Inc. are expected to vote May 29 on whether to approve a $6.1 billion friendly takeover of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest grain handler by Swiss-based commodities trader Glencore International PLC. The vote will be taken at a special shareholder meeting in Calgary, a Viterra spokesperson said. The dealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion requires approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders or their proxies. If it gets a green light, it is expected to close in Viterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third quarter, ending July 31. Alberta Investment Management

Corp., Viterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest shareholder with a 16.5 percent stake, has already agreed to support the takeover. Glencore said on March 20 it had reached a deal to buy Viterra and sell parts of it to Richardson International Ltd. and Agrium Inc., giving Glencore a huge new presence in the grain industry. With U.S. grain and energy trader Gavilon Group also on the block, the North American grain industry is poised for its biggest consolidation wave since the late 1990s as a boom in world population and increased use of corn to make biofuels tighten global grain supplies and boost demand.

The deal still needs regulatory approval in Canada and Australia. Because it is a foreign takeover, Ottawa must decide if it is of â&#x20AC;&#x153;net benefitâ&#x20AC;? to the country. Prime minister Stephen Harper noted Glencoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global marketing reach in comments on March 26 that signaled Ottawa has little appetite for blocking the deal. The takeover also requires a review by Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Competition Bureau. The armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-length bureau consults with various industry players when considering a transactionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on competition, spokesperson Greg Scott said.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. agribusiness and trading firm Cargill Inc. said its quarterly earnings were essentially even with the same period a year ago, led by its food ingredients and applications business unit. Minneapolis-based Cargill, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest privately held corporations, reported $766 million in earnings from continuing operations for the fiscal third quarter

ended Feb. 29, just ahead of $763 million a year earlier. Revenue rose five percent to $31.9 billion. Third-quarter results represent a bounce back after Cargillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second quarter profits fell 88 percent to $100 million, the worst quarterly performance since 2001, as earnings were hurt by investments made in equity markets and by distressed assets amid the European debt crisis.

The third-quarter rebound was led by Cargillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food segment. The food ingredient businesses posted the strongest results. Additionally, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global meat businesses improved from the second quarter. But profits overall from that business were still well below last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record level due to a cyclical downturn in the North American beef segment, the company said.

HORSE ERA ANTIQUES AND OTHER ITEMS: The late great statesman and horseman Grant McEwan said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the fortunes of harness makers and vehicle makers rode on the backs of working horsesâ&#x20AC;?. How true that was in the days of early pioneer settlement. But so many other items of that era were necessary to survive those tough times. We will see and marvel at their ingenuity and skill as we present a very interesting display of the varied items built by these indomitable settlers.

90% LESS DRIFT, LESS RUN OFF, SUPERIOR COVERAGE Drift occurs when droplets are smaller than 200 microns. Standard sprayer nozzles drift because $ 95 8 NE they produce droplets that are 50-300 micron in size with a large percentage under 200. With a “The Air Bubble Jet consistently produces droplets that are 200-550 microns in size.Too big to drift - too $ 25 small to run off.” 11

droplet range of 200-550 microns, the Air Bubble Jet has 90% less drift than standard nozzles. Run off occurs with big droplets - 600 microns and over. Depending on the manufacturer, other low drift nozzles produce droplets that range in size from 250-1000 microns. That is why run off can be a problem. With a droplet size of 200-550 microns, your chemical stays on the plant when applied with the Air Bubble Jet. New Twin Air Bubble Jet. With the twin cap, you can use 2-5 gallon nozzles rather than 1-10 gallon nozzles. The advantage is you get over twice as many droplets per square inch for superior coverage. Air Bubble jet nozzles operate at 30-45 psi and have an overall range of 20-90 psi. They can be used to apply fungicides, insecticides and herbicides to any crop including potatoes and pulse crops.

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT | INDEPENDENT THINKING

Lobb proud of independence Conservative MP | Non-partisan tradition maintained in Ontario’s key agricultural riding BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Ben Lobb had already made a political mark when he handily won the southwestern Ontario agricultural riding of Huron-Bruce from the Liberals in 2008. The riding, on the edge of Lake Huron northwest of Toronto is home to one of the country’s largest cattle sectors. It was also the last significant agricultural riding held by the Liberals in Ontario. Lobb, a business consultant and part-time auctioneer, almost won the riding from longtime conservative Liberal MP Paul Steckle in 2006. When Steckle, a former chair of the House of Commons agriculture committee, retired before the 2008 election, Lobb had a relatively easy second-time victory. Yet as he sits on the agriculture committee that Steckle once chaired, Lobb sees himself much in the tradition of his predecessor — an independent-minded MP short on partisanship and long on trying to represent his constituents. “If you go back through the people who have represented my rural riding through to Paul, their primary goal was to serve the people and try to be their voice in Ottawa rather than to be just a government voice,” he said. Steckle defied his Liberal government on such issues as the long-gun registry and sometimes was disciplined for his defiance. Lobb doesn’t see his approach as defiance. “Obviously, I am a Conservative member of Parliament and I’m

Rural Ontario MP Ben Lobb represents the Huron-Bruce riding, one of the province’s most significant agricultural ridings. | BARRY WILSON PHOTO proud of that, but if there is a problem my constituents have, it’s got to be addressed rather than apologizing or defending the government,” he said. That independent streak shows on the agriculture committee as he presses federal officials on why their explanations do not coincide with the problems his constituents report. “It is my job to listen to farmers about what their problems are and what solutions are possible,” he said. “I don’t think it’s my job at all to defend the department or to tell people who come to me with problems that everything is fine.” He takes the same approach when questioning government treatment

of veterans as a member of the veterans’ affairs committee. Lobb’s 2008 victory and stronger win in 2011 is part of the general Liberal party decline in rural Canada. Although long a Conservative bastion, Huron-Bruce was part of the Liberal Ontario near-sweep in 1993 as the Progressive Conservative vote collapsed and the upstart Reform party ate into its support. Steckle won the riding with 44 percent of the vote as Reform and PC candidates split most of the rest. Lobb’s uncle, Len, was the Reform candidate. The Liberals maintained almost a sweep of vote-rich Ontario through three elections, but then began to see the strengthened Conservatives winning back traditionally Tory rural

seats starting in 2004. Four years later, Lobb finished the job. Although never a farmer, he comes from a long line of farmer stock, starting with ancestor George who emigrated from England in 1851 and introduced the first Holstein cattle to Huron County. Uncle Don Lobb is an award-winning conservation farmer in the area, and the family has a long history in the farm and farm equipment auctioneer business. The MP said the rural issues that he faces differ from those that faced many of his predecessors. Issues through the 1980s, 1990s and the years following the outbreak of BSE often related to farmer pleas for help. “I think I face a different job,” he said. “Commodity prices have improved a lot so it is a different time with a lot more optimism, so farmers are more focused on their operations, trying to enhance what they do and upgrade, innovate and modernize. If you drive through Huron and Bruce counties, you’ll see a very progressive agricultural landscape.” One of the biggest issues he faces as an MP is really a provincial issue — the proliferation of industrial wind turbines in his riding and the divisions that has caused within rural communities. Lobb said traditional rural and farm voter demands to their MP have changed. “Because of the times we’re in, a lot of the farmer focus is not on meeting with politicians but on their farm operations, and I think that is a great thing.”

The British Columbia government wants agrifood business in the province to expand by almost $4 billion in the next five years. A new initiative of Christy Clark’s Liberal government, outlined in the BC Agrifoods: A Strategy for Growth document, sets a target: $14 billion in agrifood revenue by 2017, up from the current $10.5 billion. The document outlines broad goals to ensure a safe and secure food supply, advance innovation and provide a sustainable land base for production, while strengthening and expanding domestic and international markets for its fruit, vegetable, livestock and seafood producers. Rhonda Driediger of the B.C. Agriculture Council applauded the move, but wants to see more than just a document. Policy, she said, is the easy part. “It’s one thing to talk about it. It’s one thing to write it down. But it’s another thing to put the dollars behind it to affect a change,” said Driediger. The document is part of the B.C. Jobs Plan, a long-term initiative to boost jobs and investment in the province. A g r i c u l t u re a n d f o o d , w h i c h employs 61,000 people in B.C., producing more than 200 commodities and 100 seafood species, is included a lo ngside strategies f o r o th er resource sectors, including forestry, mining and natural gas. “We employ a lot of people. We pay a lot of taxes. We invest in our own farms ...,” said Driediger. “What they’re finally figuring out is how big of a generator we are, especially in the low-skill job market and the value in smaller communities.” Many pledges made in the document, such as support for an integrated national traceability system for B.C. livestock, are already ongoing. Kevin Boon, general manager of the British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association, said an effective traceability program and animal health framework, which tracks where cattle move and its inputs, can help build confidence in the feedlot industry. As well, it can assist the B.C. ‘buy local’ movement and other Canadian producers, he said during an interview. “British Columbia is often viewed, especially in the Asian community, as the gateway to Canada,” he said. “This is where they come to first ... being able to put a good picture on, and show the marketplace in these other countries the operations that we have here, we’re a good place to show exactly what the beef industry is all about in Canada ....”

HOGS | HOUSING

Take reins on animal welfare: producer Consumer concern may continue to climb STORIES BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Is the hog industry over-reacting when it embraces the goal of eliminating sow stalls by 2025? Some producers at the Manitoba Pork Council annual meeting certainly thought so as they urged the council to fight to keep the issue in producers’ hands. “We have to make sure that we don’t get legislated or regulated into doing things that we may want to leave later but can’t,” said producer Dan Klippenstein. “It should be a voluntary thing.” Klippenstein said he has heard that only four percent of consumers care much about animal handling issues, while 96 percent care mostly about price and quality. “Maybe the situation is that we’re looking at the wrong customer,” said Klippenstein. “We’re looking at the four percent.” However, Curtis Brown of Probe Research, which has surveyed the public about its perceptions of hog farmers and pig farming, said the

CHRIS BROWN PROBE RESEARCH

issue isn’t the size of the concern now but how that concern could grow in coming years. “They may be four percent today, but that’s growing, that’s a growing trend that’s going to be eight percent tomorrow or 12 percent in the future, and then that 96 percent ends up falling off,” said Brown. “That’s going to make it difficult.” The drive to end sow stalls is not just top priority among animal welfare advocates. It has also been embraced by food processors and hog packers, who have said they will only accept pigs in the future that are raised in open housing barns. In Europe, sow stalls are being phased out. Research at the University of Mani-

Public demand for hogs raised in open housing is likely to grow, says a researcher. | toba, in Minnesota and in Europe has generally found that open housing of sows using electronic feeders can be done as cheaply as in stall barn systems, and the construction costs of a barn with open housing is about the same as for a stall barn. Hutterite colonies in Manitoba and

the Dakotas have already built open housing barns, with generally good results, their representatives say. They don’t expect new Hutterite hog barn to use sow stalls. The pork council has adopted a voluntary phase-out of stall barns by 2025, which effectively ends stall

barn construction now because the life of a new barn needs to be 20 to 30 years to cover construction costs. Most university research has shown open housing of pregnant sows to be viable and cost effective, and some commercial hog producers are having good results.

PUBLIC IMAGE | RESPONSE

People like farmers, but don’t agree with all things they do Farmers have a great strength and a great weakness when it comes to their public image. “Farmers are actually very well liked, just not necessarily what they do,” said Audrey Treichel, manager of communications for the Manitoba Pork Council, during the organization’s annual meeting in Winnipeg. Treichel’s comment brought laughter from the crowd, but it summed up a serious point that plagues most types of agriculture. People tend to like farmers in a gen-

eral way and are fond of images of farming families. However, many dislike the actual activities of farming, including manure-spreading, pesticide use, heavy fuel consumption and largescale barns and land bases. The problem is particularly intense for the hog industry in Manitoba because some environmental and political activists have accused hog farms of environmental problems and animal welfare abuses. Activists such as Robert F. Kennedy

Jr. have visited Winnipeg to attack the industry’s environmental record in places like North Carolina. As well, the leader of the Humane Society of the United States has visited to attack the industry’s treatment of animals. The situation became extreme in the late 2000s, when the provincial government first placed a ban on new hog barns in the Red River Valley and the Interlake. It then imposed hard-to-meet phosphorus standards and extended

the new hog barn ban across the entire province, which prevented hog farmers from moving to areas where phosphorus levels are not a problem. The hog council has run public relations campaigns to try turning the tide of public sentiment, and both Treichel and council president Karl Kynoch said there are signs they are working. Campaigns have highlighted families that operate hog farms, and one that ran during the lead-up to the

most recent provincial election focused on people in the industry who specialize in environmental protection. The council has also supported athletes and won their endorsements, as in the Pork For Peak Performance campaign. Susan Reise, who oversees consumer campaigns, said even some of the campaigns that promote pork as healthy and nutritious food help improve the public’s perception of what hog farmers do.

FAMILY DYNAMICS | GET TOGETHERS

Entertaining family: how our relatives relate to one another COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

hey say you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your family. That may be the case but I sure feel like I had pretty good luck of the draw in being dealt the family I got. We’re all a little different in our family despite our common genes. And that’s good because everyone has some-

thing different to offer the mix. Kind of like an orchestra coming together. The music’s not quite as good if every last living one of us is all playing a clarinet. My relatives have lots of different careers, likes and dislikes, variations of politics, places we call home, and spouses and children that help mix things up a little. What I always liked most about the extended family I grew up in is how we’d entertain each other when we came together. Due to size and proximity, most of my family memories were made with my mother’s side of the family. Dad’s side of the family was a good and interesting bunch too, but it was a small group and fairly far flung. Mom, however, came from a family

of seven children, and most settled relatively near the home where they grew up along the Mouse River in McHenry County, North Dakota. Her father emigrated from Hallingdal, Norway, some 22 years before she was born, and taught her to speak Norwegian before she learned English. Her mother was born in the United States, but was the daughter of Gudbrandsdalen Norwegians who came to North Dakota just before statehood. Those seven children, raised through the Great Depression with little else but love and each other, were pretty close knit. Two of the boys went off to the Second World War and one died much too young in

a car accident after the war. The six remaining all married and raised families, one in Alaska, the other five in north-central North Dakota. When we had family get togethers on holidays or for no particular reason at all, these were the aunts and uncles and cousins and cousin’s kids getting together in our family. There wasn’t much for awkward pauses in the conversation. We had ranchers, farmers, a commercial fisherman, heavy equipment and construction workers, trappers, hunters, caregivers, a dentist, artists, musicians and more represented around the table to share stories and tales and jokes. As kids, we’d sit right at the table and listen. No hiding in

another room to text our friends. Along with the stories, I mostly remember the music. At some point in the family’s afternoon or evening visit, the musical instruments would start coming out. We didn’t have Ipods or digital downloads but we had good music. We didn’t spend the money to see many movies in town, but we heard lots of good stories around the table that could have been the subject of a movie. No, I didn’t get to pick my relatives, but I doubt I could have picked better. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

Eighty percent of Alberta’s wildlife depends on riparian areas, those green zones in and around wetlands, lakes, rivers, streams and creeks, for their survival. Three to five percent of the province’s landscape is classified as riparian. Given those statistics, the importance of maintaining the health of land around water bodies becomes evident, said Norine Ambrose, executive director of Cows and Fish, the Alberta riparian habitat management society. Ambrose said the organization has done more than 2,000 assessments of riparian health in the province and has found that 26 percent are healthy, 50 percent are healthy but at risk and 24 percent are unhealthy. “There’s still a lot of room for improvement,” she said during a speech April 10. “Riparian areas are much more important than their size suggests.” Cows and Fish works with farmers and ranchers, among other individuals and groups, to improve riparian health through such things as off-site livestock watering and grazing plans. “One of the challenges we face, and maybe all non-profit conservation organizations would say the same thing, is ongoing resources. We rely on grant funding and its annual,” said Ambrose. Cows and Fish doesn’t actively recruit farmers or ranchers to undertake riparian health improvement projects. The program is voluntary and people interested in changes must make the first move, Ambrose said. “Everybody’s reason for making a change will be different.” Surveys of people who have been involved with Cows and Fish consistently note its practical and knowledgeable approach as a major asset. They also show that community stewardship groups are more likely to be informed and willing to make changes to improve riparian areas. The voluntary Cows and Fish stewardship program has been in operation since 1992 and comprises farmers and ranchers.

WARTS | TREATMENT

Wart removal essential to avoid non-functional bull ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

enile warts are one of the more common issues when examining bulls for breeding soundness, especially young ones. All purebred herds will be affected eventually and commercial herds may have some crop up on mature bulls. They are caused by a virus closely related to the one that causes body warts. Bulls that appear wart free can still have penile warts that are noticeable only when the penis is extended. Most penile warts are identified at semen evaluation time, which is one reason veterinarians want to see the bull’s protruded penis and the entire area, including the prepuce. Many veterinarians deal with warts as soon as they are detected and then recheck later for signs of complete healing. They may require tricky surgery to remove, depending on the location. Many warts along the shaft can simply be cut away, but those near the tip have more complications. Removing warts near the tip may damage the end of the penis or its nerve supply, which makes breeding difficult because bulls require that feeling near the end to find the vulva. Warts are sometimes wrapped around the entire end of the penis and incorporate the urethra. Removing these can create a rent through which urine and ejaculated semen exit before the end. Fertility may not be affected if the distance is not too great and complete healing has occurred. In others, however, it will be the veterinarian’s call as to whether too much damage has been created. Warts vary from the size of a pencil eraser to as large as baseballs in rare cases. Removal takes some planning, depending on size, location, blood supply and the size of the stalk or attachment, but most of the time it can be done successfully. Large warts may require suturing to close the cut or control bleeding, but small warts are simply removed and left. Some warts are smooth with no rough surfaces and don’t bleed when handled. I usually leave these and simply note the size and location on the evaluation form. Warts can reoccur, especially if they were not fully removed. I tend to recheck two to three weeks after removal to ensure the wart was fully removed and the surgery is fully healed. Warts can affect fertility if they rip and blood mixes with the semen. Blood has a detrimental effect on sperm, so anything causing bleeding is not good. Warts on purebred operations are sporadic. I may see a few cases one year and none for several years. Vets sometimes have an autogenously vaccine made up for herds with repeated wart problems, which involves sending a sample of the wart

to a lab to produce a vaccine that can be administered. I haven’t found this necessary with hit-and-miss incidences, but Murphy’s Law in the purebred business dictates that warts will occur on the best bull. Warts are always worth trying to remove because otherwise the bull is rendered non-functional. Just because bulls were semen evaluated as yearlings doesn’t mean warts won’t show up later. They may have been present when the bull was younger but were missed if the veterinarian couldn’t get the penis to protrude. As well, smaller warts on the backside of the penis may go undetected if semen is collected on

the other side. Producers are always told to try to observe breeding on a new bull. We want to make sure the bull mounts, enters the cow and ejaculates, but growths on the penis are another thing to watch. Warts are a possibility if blood or a bloody discharge can be seen coming from the penis. If large enough, warts can even be seen as a moveable swelling inside the sheath, much the same as how a broken penis or cut penis may appear. Roy Lewis has a veterinary practice in Westlock, Alta. and works part time as a technical services veterinarian with Merck Animal Health.

Warts can affect fertility and should be removed if possible. |

“I will go in and talk to the people and talk to the horse, assess the horse and he will pretty much tell me, one way or another, if he is ready.” Alexander has no veterinary training but he has confidence in his connection with animals and the information he gathers for himself and obtains from horse owners. “Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes not. It sounds weird and people will laugh at you, but I feel the spirit. That’s what I look for.” Taylor has witnessed Alexander’s assistance more than once, and she agrees with his assessment. She said he has a special way with horses, respectful and kind. Alexander said owners are struggling with an irrevocable decision. He doesn’t find the work pleasant but the reward lies in helping people. And although he has little sympathy for those ridding themselves of a horse because it failed on the show or racing circuit, he accepts it as a fact of life. It’s better for the horse to be put down than neglected, he said matterof-factly. “Everybody loves their horse, but lots love their horse while it’s winning. If it doesn’t win, they love the new one better. It’s a shallow thing, some of it.” However, it’s the cases in which

owners love their horses where his services are often needed, he said. It is not easy work. “I hope I never get to the point where it doesn’t choke me up. I think that’s part of the support. It’s not something I will ever take for granted or callously.” The service extends to disposal, which is an often difficult part of the process because of size and logistics. Alexander will assist in horse burial on an owner’s property, deliver it to a landfill where he has made prior arrangement, take it to the humane society for cremation or provide what he calls “circle of life” service, taking the horse to a remote location where scavengers have their way. “That is still my preferred, it’s the way that makes the most sense,” Alexander said. “The wildlife gets some free dinner and there’s nothing in the groundwater. That’s the way it’s supposed to work.” Options depend on whether the horse was given drugs before it died. In that case, the landfill, burial or incineration are the available options. If the owner requests, he will also deliver animals to the Fort Macleod horse plant for slaughter, an option that offers some financial return to the owner. Rendering companies will also pick up dead animals but what used to be a free service now costs $250 and

pickup may not be immediate. Handling of the body may also leave something to be desired. Alexander said the renderers may not pick up bodies for days or weeks, causing additional grief to owners. Alexander offers his service throughout Western Canada. Besides bereavement matters, he offers custom horse transport, specializing in loading challenges and special needs. He isn’t constantly busy but thinks that might change since he started advertising his services. “One lady, she’s actually put me in her will and upon her death then her animals will all be euthanized and I will be called in to pick up the pieces.

It was time to let the horse go. The owner and her husband met at the boarding facility near Water Valley, Alta., where the horse had lived its last years. The owner said her goodbye. Blinded by tears, she walked into nearby woods, trailed by her husband who was offering comfort. When she came back, the veterinarian had administered the lethal injection and the horse was dead. Greg Alexander was there too, having spoken quietly with the owner and the horse before its end. Sharon Taylor recounts the event, which occurred at her horse boarding facility in January. She is no stranger to such sad situations because she specializes in boarding older horses. And she has nothing but praise for Alexander, who operates Just Passing, a service that provides counseling to owners, care to horses and disposal of horses’ bodies after they are put down. “For someone like Greg to come into a situation where a member of your family has just died, words can never replace the feelings that you’ve had toward the animal,” said Taylor.

“You need to be treated tenderly and he has a way of doing that, even if he’s never met you before.” Alexander has been involved in the horse industry for 25 years. Raised on a dairy farm near Balzac, Alta., he once owned and operated a horse training facility and still ranches near Nanton, Alta. Only recently did he hang out his shingle to offer horse transport and bereavement services. “I just kind of think it’s an honour to help the horse pass,” said Alexander. “I’m kind of connected to the spirit, and the need for both the people and the horse.” The soft-spoken horseman takes a practical approach to horses at the end of their lives, whether their deaths are decided due to injury, age or owner inability to care for them. He will assist owners as they wrestle with a decision to put a horse down, work with veterinarians who do the job via injection or dispatch the horse himself with a rifle. Then he will transport the body according to owners’ wishes. Alexander admits he sees a lot of horse owner guilt and tears. “It can be hard,” he said. “Lots of the people already know (it’s time to put a horse down.) They just need somebody to agree with them.

Alberta Farm Animal Care has the following recommendations for euthanizing horses and handling the bodies. • For a horse to receive a humane death it must be rendered immediately unconscious and die without regaining consciousness. Most recommended methods of euthanasia involve agents that rapidly affect the brain. • Lethal injection of barbiturate by veterinarians only • Penetrating captive bolt • Shooting is a humane method of killing provided the shot penetrates the brain and does significant damage. Knowledge of the anatomy is essential. Shooting a horse should only be done by persons well versed in handling firearms and licensed to use them Disposal options:

Alexander said his primary role is support to owners and dignity to horses when they are put down as well as afterward. “The horse doesn’t mind. The

horse doesn’t hold a grudge because you couldn’t afford to keep it anymore and you put it down. I think a lot of people just need to hear that. “I’m not by any means a profes-

WEYBURN INLAND TERMINAL | REDUCED ACRES

Weyburn terminal posts rare loss 2011 annual report | Farmer-directed company records first loss since 1985 BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Reduced seeded acres and flooding have caused Weyburn Inland Terminal’s first loss since 1985, says the company’s chief executive officer. In its 2011 annual report, WIT, a farmer-directed grain company located on Canadian Pacific Railway’s Soo Line near Weyburn, Sask., reports an after-tax consolidated loss of $246,000. That’s down from an after-tax profit of $4.9 million in 2010 and its average profitability of $3.9 million over the past five years. “We’re in the same boat as farmers down here,” said Rob Davies. “With no crop in the ground, there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for us to do a lot last year.” Flooding in the region kept farmers out of the fields in the spring. Only 20 to 30 percent of the normal acres were eventually seeded, the company reported. Sales of crop inputs totalled $17.5 million for the year, down from the five-year average of $22.9 million.

“Obviously, our crop input business, we didn’t get nearly the fertilizer or the crop protection products out or the seed out,” said Davies. “It sort of got us almost every way it could get us.” Carryover inventory, primarily durum, and a “solid” oilseed marketing program, allowed WIT to maintain 70 percent of its grain shipping program from the previous year. The company saw grain receipts of 337,442 tonnes in 2011. “We went a little bit farther out. We pursued some grain in some different market areas. Certainly there’s some inventory, although we really had a small crop last year and the year before,” said Davies. “It was a bit of a struggle to find it.... What guys did get seeded was canola, so our focus there has helped.” The company paid more than $1 million to customers in freight and dockage premiums on grain deliveries last year and dividends of $1.35 million to shareholders.

couver’s Alliance Grain Terminal is a key holding for the company now that the CWB’s single desk is about to be eliminated. Fifty-nine percent of grain handled by WIT last year was CWB grain. “In 2012, what percentage of the grain handled will be handled on behalf of the CWB is unknown, as are the specifics of the financial arrangement that will be made between WIT and the CWB,” said the report. “ There are a lot of unknowns today.… Certainly one of the issues is

just going to be an effective price discovery mechanism for farmers based on western Canadian wheat and durum prices.” The report also showed reduced profitability for its NorAmera BioEnergy ethanol production plant in Weyburn, despite improved revenues. The facility experienced capital expenditures, higher costs and efficiency challenges that were also related to flooding. “It’s getting much more stable and we’d like to break even this year or better,” said Davies. “But if we can get close to that line and then just continue to work through it as we go forward ... over the medium term, we’re certainly hoping it’s a solid contributor.” The company relocated its lentil and canaryseed processor, Vigro Seed & Supply, last year following the purchase of Sedley Seeds. WIT intends to sell the land and buildings at the former Vigro site, with the sale to be completed by the end of 2012, said the report.

ALBERTA ELECTION | POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

Alberta’s Conservatives promise money for upgrades at Lethbridge College BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta’s Progressive Conservative government has pledged $55.6 million to upgrade Lethbridge College’s trades and technology facilities.

The April 10 announcement by advanced education minister Greg Weadick will depend on the PCs winning re-election April 23. If the project proceeds, facilities for agriculture equipment technician, heavy equipment technician, automo-

tive service technician and welder courses will be expanded and upgraded, as will facilities for trades involving solar, geothermal and wind energy. The trades instruction area at Lethbridge College comprises buildings built between 1962 and 1977.

Improvements to those facilities have long been a goal for college president Tracy Edwards. “The trades building has simply outlived its expected lifespan,” Edwards said. She said the college is a leader in

trades education, and the promised funding would allow it to accommodate the growing demand for trades training. If the funding pledge proceeds, renovations and new facility construction could start by next year.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT | CHANGE

Changing with the times comes with challenges PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT

TERRY BETKER

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fantastic time to be entering (or be in) the business world, because business is going to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50. We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next 10. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let yourself be lulled into inaction.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bill Gates

In these situations, human nature causes people to revert to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked in the past. When the production season ends, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to the drawing board when it comes to making adjustments to those management plans. There needs to be a plan, but the lack of a plan is a significant stumbling block to change. How simple or complex the plan is becomes a factor. You can apply the SMART principle to determine the appropriateness of a plan thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to change how a business is managed: â&#x20AC;˘ S stands for specific. For example, deciding to have monthly management meetings.

â&#x20AC;˘ M stands for measurable. You can measure if the monthly meetings are happening. â&#x20AC;˘ A stands for attainable. Having monthly management meetings is attainable. â&#x20AC;˘ R is for realistic. Is it realistic to have monthly management meetings? Perhaps not in May or September and if so, then adjust the specific function to monthly meetings except for May and September. â&#x20AC;˘ T relates to the time factor. We are going to start having monthly meetings next month. Another stumbling block to changing management practices is related to the ownership and management structure of the farm business.

Management and ownership are almost always one and the same, so if the person who is responsible for making the changes in management isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting the job done, who do they report to? Themselves? The lack of accountability can be a major issue and at the same time, one of the easiest to fix. First, a plan is needed. Given that a plan exists, if you can make accountability work internally within the ownership and management group, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely the preferred scenario. However, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a realistic option for most farm families. External accountability can be effective. Engage someone who you trust and feel comfortable in talking

ill Gatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; well-known comments about the state of business has direct application to primary agriculture. We all know that change in farming isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new. There is an axiom that states that a business, including farms, will typically outgrow its management. Growth can mean more acres or animals but also more complexity in terms of the number of people involved in ownership and management, generational transition and the diversity of the business enterprise mix. Managerial development, and change, are required. Even if your farm has been relatively stable, business management must advance to maintain the status quo. Failing to do so runs the risk of slipping behind other farms in similar situations. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to understand that there are some things that are really challenging for farmers to do. I talk to farmers who have identified the need to make changes in how their farms are being managed. They have come up with ideas on what the changes might look like but will often express their frustration over the difficulty in their implementation. There are a few reasons why I think this happens. One is procrastination. There generally isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any real urgency to the adjustments, but pretty soon a month or two slips by with no action and soon a new production season is looming. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second reason. The production season for farmers is critical, justifiably filled with urgency and stress.

Women key to international food security Canadian International Development Agency | Investment in small scale farms improves production and livelihoods BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The Canadian government says its international development efforts to fight world hunger concentrate on programs to help small-scale women farmers who hold the key to developing world food production. Lois Brown, parliamentary secretary to international co-operation minister Bev Oda, said in a March 27 Ottawa speech that the agricultural focus of the Canadian International Development Agency is smallholder farmers, especially women. “Women are quite literally the engine of the rural economy and guardians of family nutrition, especially in the poorest communities,” she told a conference on private-

public partnership in agriculture sponsored by the International Development Research Council and the Syngenta Foundation set up by Swiss-based agri-food company Syngenta. Brown noted that the world’s 500 million smallholder farmers feed more than two billion people, close to one-third of the world’s population.

< Performance

“Because of their far-reaching impact, food security will only be realized when smallholder farmers are empowered to access crucial production resources such as new technologies, training, extension services, finances and markets,” she said. “Closing the gender gap in agricultural inputs alone could lift 100 million to 150 million people out of hunger.” The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates there now are more than 900 million chronically malnourished people in the world. “Because women are the linchpin of smallholder agriculture, they must be at the centre of any food security strategy,” said Oda. Brown mentioned CIDA invest-

ments in international programs aimed at research, nutrition education and training for small scale farmers to help them improve business practices, develop markets, upgrade their land base and adjust to the effects of climate change. She said CIDA also supports development partnerships with private companies that are willing to invest in developing-world projects. “We know that we can achieve our development goals and help businesses grow,” she told the conference held over two days March 26-27 in IDRC head offices. “CIDA wants to encourage steady flows of private investment that can bring capital, knowledge and new technology to farmers and their communities. Brown said CIDA is supporting the

Global Agriculture and Food Security Program that encourages the private sector to finance development projects. Recently, it announced financing to expand a Bangladeshi food processing and fruit pulping operation. “In addition to creating over 1,200 new jobs, the project will positively impact the livelihood of several thousand farmers and their communities by ensuring consistent demand and fair pricing for their produce,” said Brown. It is “the first of many high-impact successful proposals” that will be approved, she said. “We know that the private sector’s strengths include knowledge and expertise, innovation and the financial and human resources it can bring to the table.”

WHAT IS HUMIRA?

The solution to Canadians taking in more calories than they burn shouldn’t rest on ag policy, says professor BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Should agricultural policy have an obligation to be part of the solution to broad societal problems? At a University of Guelph conference in Ottawa April 5, several speakers argued that too much is being expected of food policy. “It is true that a portion of our population is not getting the proper nutrition,” said University of Saskatchewan professor Murray Fulton. “But is that a failure of agriculture policy? That is not the way we have traditionally seen it.” However, the food industry is often seen in current debates as the saviour or culprit on many issues. As various organizations work to create a national food strategy, the project is sold as a way to position food production as part of the solution to major Canadian problems, attempting to increase the focus on the importance of the industry: • There is a growing health problem in a society whose citizens eat too much of the wrong food. A food strategy promoting healthy agricultural products is a natural fit with health strategies. • Segments of the Canadian population go hungry in the midst of affluence. A food strategy could help address it. “Canada does really have a food security problem,” Fulton said. “But the problem is not our agriculture policy.” University of Guelph professor John Cranfield argued that on the health issue, there is evidence that increasing numbers of Canadians are obese and suffer from preventable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. However, is food policy the problem or the answer? “Can agri-food policy be a health policy?” he asked. “I’m skeptical about that.” Agriculture and the food industry have an obligation to make certain that the products sent to market are safe, but he argued that genetics, the environment and personal behaviour are the main reasons behind the growing unhealthiness of Canadians. Despite a range of healthy foods available, Canadians increasingly are taking in more calories through snacking. The basic issue is that Canadians are choosing to ingest more calories than they are burning. For example, there is a debate about the damaging effect of food trans fats in the Canadian diet, Cranfield said. “But should this be part of the debate about agri-food policy?” he added. “My off-the-cuff comment is that it is not.” Fulton said in an interview the idea that Canadian hunger is a food prob-

MURRAY FULTON UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN PROFESSOR

lem takes the debate beyond traditional agriculture policy. There is more than sufficient food produced. “It is a social welfare issue within some segments of our society, the poor and aboriginal populations,” he said. “While agriculture policy can deal with some aspects of it, there is a greater sense that agricultural policy can be tasked with being a major solution, and I think that moves it beyond where it is or ever has been. To reconfigure agriculture policy to meet all the new demands would be a massive departure, and I don’t think it is likely to occur.”

The median nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and fingers, with the exception of the far side of the ring finger and the whole of the little finger, as well as impulses to small muscles in the hand that allow the fingers and thumb to move. There may be pain, weakness or numbness in the hand and wrist. From your description, you could also have arthritis in your hands. Are the joints in the fingers swollen as well as painful? That would stop you from being able to make a fist.

Humira, or adalimumab, is a TNF blocker medication. TNF stand for tumour necrosis factor, which is present in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Humira can lower the body’s natural ability to fight infections and some types of cancer. Some people taking it have developed serious infections such as tuberculosis and other bacterial, fungal and viral infections. There is also an increased risk of lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes, as well as some types of skin cancer. Your doctor should test you for tuberculosis before you start treatment.

FARM LIVING

ON THE FARM | FAMILY BUSINESS

Farm lures son home to mother’s hog operation Hooked on lifestyle | Despite a degree in international development, son makes a ‘philosophical decision’ to return to the land BY ANNE COTE FREELANCE WRITER

STEINBACH, Man. — When Margaret Rempel married her husband, Ron, in 1975, she never dreamed that one day she would be running the 1,600 acre farm on her own. Ron struggled with health problems for almost 20 years. “With his health challenges, I had to become very, very intimately involved with all the farming operations. I was the primary person,” Rempel said. He died in October 2003. “That’s when I started solo,” she said. “And, at 50 years of age, I wasn’t at the beginning of my career.” For the next seven years, she managed Rempelco Acres near Steinbach, Man., on her own. Rempel, who grew up on a mixed dairy farm west of Brandon, said she had offers to buy the farm but wasn’t interested because she was hooked on farming. She also had her three children to think about. The farm isn’t just a business but also the family home. “Our family activities were interwoven with the farming activities, so I decided to keep the farm, at least for a while,” she said. None of the children, all adults, were showing any interest in taking over the farm. Her daughter is an

intensive care nurse and one of her sons, trained in multimedia, works for bookseller McNally Robinson in Winnipeg. “We always told our kids if they wanted to farm we’d support them, but we warned them they needed to be passionate about farming if they wanted to take over the family farm,” Margaret said. She said a farmer also needs a supportive partner. So when her son, Jason, who has a bachelor of arts in international development, decided to leave his job to return to the farm two years ago, Margaret approached the idea cautiously. “We’ve purposely been doing the transition slowly,” Margaret said. Jason said he couldn’t resist returning to the farm. Now he and his wife, Kristy, an elementary school teacher who grew up on a grain farm, along with their young daughter, Avery, live a few kilometres from Rempelco Acres. “Farming was in my blood. When I wasn’t on the farm, I was thinking about the farm. Farming allows me to do the things I want to do,” Jason said. “It’s not only a business decision, it’s a philosophical decision.” Jason, 35, has been building a network of peers through the Canadian Young Farmers Forum, where he’s been participating in best manage-

Jason Rempel, left, with his mother, Margaret Rempel, watches feed unload for weanlings in their hog operation. | ANNE COTE PHOTOS ment planning forums. He said he’s more comfortable being accountable to himself and his community than to government agencies, which was the case in his previous job. It makes the tough times easier to cope with, he added. “I can look forward. I can look at the bigger picture.”

Part of the bigger picture is working with the Mennonite Central Committee’s grain bank and helping people who want to learn how to live lighter on the land. As a master composter, Jason spends time teaching people how to compost in their backyard and how to use worms for composting.

Margaret said even though Rempelco Acres is a small operation compared to others in Manitoba, she and her son have managed to keep it profitable. Margaret has been involved with the Manitoba Pork Council for years, also works with the Canadian AgriFood Policy Institute.

ecently, while sitting in a food court eating with my kids, I noticed that some people did not use the recycling bin, which was right beside the garage bin, while cleaning up after their lunch. Why would people not take one second to separate their garbage and recycle their plastics? With Earth Day on April 22, I looked up ways to take action, including planting a garden or a tree, using reusable coffee cups. We can all unselfishly help support the planet by making simple changes to our household and personal care routine.

CDC Kestrel, the first winter wheat variety released by the Crop Development Centre at the University of Saskatchewan in 1991.

Winter Wheat In 1972, the Crop Development Centre was established with the mandate to develop breeding programs to improve existing crops and to develop new crops adapted to the extreme climates of Saskatchewan. At that time, less than 2000 acres of winter wheat were harvested in Saskatchewan. Over the past 40 years, the CDC winter wheat breeding program has encountered many challenges. Initial breeding goals assumed a winter wheat crop would be adapted to a province such as Saskatchewan that can experience very harsh winters. However, early on, researchers learned they needed to better understand cold hardiness and the agronomics of winter wheat, before they could move forward. After years of breeding and associated research, in 1991, the CDC released their first winter wheat variety, CDC Kestrel. It had rust and lodging resistance and a 20-25 per cent yield advantage over the standard variety Norstar. With passing years, newer varieties such as CDC Falcon, CDC Buteo and Peregrine were released with yield increases of up to 20 per cent over CDC Kestrel. Canadian agriculture now had another crop that farmers could add to their rotation. The introduction of winter wheat in the rotation helped to spread the workload on the farm, allow for a wider diversification of crop types, and provide low cost control of summer annual weeds through competition. The winter wheat program was one of the early pioneers in the area of eco-friendly management systems, promoting â&#x20AC;&#x153;stubbling-in, a practice now commonly known as no-till management. Not only did the varieties produced by the CDC have higher yield and better disease resistance, they also promoted conservation farming practices that reduced erosion and offered more efficient water utilization. These practices fit well with Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) who learned that no-till winter cereals allowed waterfowl to nest in undisturbed fields giving them a safe habitat to return in the spring. In 1992, DUC began funding a conservation production systems project at the CDC, and promoting the development of winter wheat. Years of research and perseverance by Dr. D. Brian Fowler have made him a world-leading expert in conservation systems and winter wheat breeding. He has received numerous awards for his work on the development of winter wheat in western Canada and for his advancement of conservation farming practices. Today, winter wheat has been grown on up to 1.5 million acres in western Canada making it the third largest wheat class after hard red spring and durum wheat. www.agbio.usask.ca

Shortly after my dad died, we moved my mom from her big house on the farm to a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lodge so that she could mix and mingle and have some company with other people her own age. It is a great place. She has her own mini-apartment, can come and go as she pleases and has help with cleaning and laundry and the three meals they provide daily. But Mom is not comfortable there. She is always afraid that she is going to run out of money and not be able to afford the rent, which by the way is ridiculous, and she is not making as many friends as we thought she would. She would like to move, but I have no idea where we could find a place as great as the one she is in. Is there

I can understand your excitement for the new place that you found for your mom, and I can appreciate the disappointment you feel that it is not as you had hoped. Perhaps you could check something before you start working with your mom to find a different place for her to live. The question for both of you is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;how comfortable is your mom living in a communal setting?â&#x20AC;? Living in a residence with other people demands a social skill that may not be required to live elsewhere. When your mom was living with your dad in the house on the farm, she could move in and out of social events at will. If someone bothered her or something got a little tense, she had only to hop in the car and retreat back to the farm where she usually felt safe. In a communal setting, retreating from whatever is socially awkward is more difficult. Those with whom you might feel uncomfortable are there with you for all three meals. Your mom is going to have to learn when to make a quiet exit to the privacy of her room and how to do it w ith grace so that she has not offended those she would rather befriend. Perhaps you can help her learn what she needs to know. Your mom is going to have to learn

a new meaning for security. When she and your dad were on the farm, the house was paid for and if things got rough, she likely always had a garden and a couple of chickens in the backyard to keep the family going. All that is gone now. She is in a lodge that is controlled by someone else and she does not have a root cellar to see her through the tough times. I think that you need to take her need for security seriously and help her set up a series of bonds or savings accounts that she can nurture and watch grow over time. Saving money is a delightful way to build personal security. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to remind your mom how important she is to your family. She may be in a lodge, and not feeling as powerful as she was when she was at home, but she is still one of the two most important grandmothers your children will have. The more they thrive on her, the more she will thrive on them and have pictures and stories to share with her new friends at the lodge. This will put all of them on an equal plane and give them an opportunity to enjoy each other. Perhaps, then, she will want to stay there. Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14th Annual Agricultural Grain Challenge Charity Hockey Tournament was another success. Running from March 15-18th, our charity tournament broke our previous fundraising record and rose $17,236.18. The net proceeds from the tournament were split between the Saskatchewan Chapter ($5170.85) and the Manitoba/Nunavut Chapter ($12,065.33) of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Fund. The money granted wishes to two courageous children that are battling a life threatening illness. According to tournament organizers, Neil Haeusler and Tal McGonigal, the success of this event lies with our great sponsors and all the participants, including the companies and their companies that participate in this weekend. With 40 teams from 35 agricultural-related companies, approximately 650 players took to the ice at the Dakota Community Twin Rinks in Winnipeg. Plus, friends and family gathered off-ice upstairs in the great hall of the Dakota Rink for more events. On Friday night, Maria Tascanoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Chapter Director of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Fund Manitoba/Nunavutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;spoke to the crowd about the challenges that children with a life threatening illness see and what it means for their wishes to come true, such as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grain Challenge sponsor-child Miranda Isaac. With her father, Miranda said a few words about her wish, which involved a tour of New York City and the opportunity to meet her favourite athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers (and some of his teammates). She also watched the Rangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play at Madison Square Garden. Later Friday, Miranda came to center ice and dropped the puck to officially kick off this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grain Challengeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a fastmoving game which saw Paterson Grain defeat Case IH 2-1. The crowd in the great hall watched and cheered on the hometown Winnipeg Jetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defeat the Washington Capitals. On Saturday night, we drew the unbelievable silent auction items. One of the highlights of the evening was the live auction bidding on the four Winnipeg Jetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jerseys, signed by four players. With 40 teams in four divisionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Competitive, Recreational, Casual under 45 and Casual over 45â&#x20AC;&#x201D;hockey got started Thursday night with 10 games and resumed Friday morning at 9:30 AM and concluded around midnight. Saturday morning started bright and early (again) and for some teams 8:00 AM came quick. The tournament was in full swing and Saturday night finished with the first playoff games for the Recreation division. Championship Sunday finished off in the early afternoon with some repeat winners from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event that managed to hold unto their championship trophy. Congratulations to MacDon, Cargill, Brett Young and HyLife for their Division crowns this year. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible for the Grain Challenge Hockey Tournament to continue making these wishes come true and give back to the surrounding communities and province if not for all the sponsors. And Neil and Tal both agree that without the 100+ volunteers that this is event would never happen and a lot of preparation and hard work goes into preparing and running this event. The 15th Annual Grain Challenge Hockey Tournament will be held next year at the Dakota Twin Rinks in Winnipeg and will kick off the evening of March 14th, 2013 and wrap up on Saturday March 16th. See you next year and if your company is interested in sending a team please email to grainchallenge@mts.net or grainchallenge@shaw.ca.
