PMRA faces sharp budget cuts A 12 percent cut | Government says pesticide registrations will be streamlined for faster decisions BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency faces sharp budget and staff reductions as part of Ottawa’s drive to cut $5.2 billion out of federal spending. The PMRA, housed within Health Canada, will lose $6 million annually
and 54 position over the next two years. The 12 percent cut is larger than most government agencies. The cuts include PMRA scientists but will mainly lead to more streamlining of the pesticide registration process, said Steve Backhouse, communications director for health minister Leona Aglukkaq. “What we’re doing with PMRA is
we’re going to be streamlining some of the administration that exists so when people want to get a pesticide approved, instead of needing to start a Health Canada assessment from scratch, we are going to be relying more on existing evaluations or safety assessments that have been done,” he said. That could include accepting the
assessments of new pesticides done in the United States, the European Union or jurisdictions “that have comparable standards to Canada,” he added. “It’s about getting decisions more quickly to ultimately serve farmers better.” SEE PMRA BUDGET CUTS, PAGE 2

FEDERAL BUDGET | FROM PAGE ONE
PMRA faces budget cuts The plan is good news for farm groups that have complained about bureaucratic delays and approval constipation at PMRA. “If the budget cutting results in efficiency improvements and getting rid of redundant regulation, then it’s good budget cutting,” said Bob Friesen, president of the Farmers of North America Strategic Agriculture Institute. “We think there is a lot of room to get rid of redundant regulations at the PMRA.” At the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, environment and science policy director Greg Northey also saw it as good government news. “It is important that we maintain our international engagements because it means we get the products more quickly in Canada,” he said. “If they are finding cost savings by improving their international joint review process on new chemicals, that’s a good thing.” New Democratic Party agriculture critic Malcolm Allen had a different view. “This really is farming out responsibility to someone else for making sure the agricultural chemicals that are used in Canada are safe and appropriate,” he said. “The government in this budget has taken a cleaver to agriculture and now it is taking a cleaver to oversight of chemicals approved for use here. It
is flabbergasting.” He said it is another example of the Conservative government neglecting its duty to protect Canadian interests for budget or ideological reasons. “I am a firm believer in the idea of political and bureaucratic oversight, and if some company convinces some other country their product is safe, that’s fine, but I think we should do our own review to make sure it meets our standards.” Friesen, whose FNA parent organization was formed to import cheaper generic chemicals, said chemical assessment standards in many other countries are comparable to Canada’s. It is not a safety issue. “We can use a lot of information from the United States, and if they make sure the climate zones and the soil zones are similar, there’s absolutely no reason we shouldn’t use the information that has already been researched in the U.S.,” he said. “That information can be used without compromising health and safety.” He said the “efficacy” test on products is an example of redundant regulation at both PMRA and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. “The industry will decide that without the bureaucracy.” Friesen said it will be good if the result is a more efficient process to approve chemical tools that farmers need.

GATINEAU, Que. — Canada’s agriculture ministers have launched what federal minister Gerry Ritz calls the final stage of negotiations for the next five-year farm program framework. Changes are clearly in the works. The next Growing Forward framework will stress market access, innovation and “refocused” farm safety net programs that reduce the focus on business risk management programs and the need for government financial aid. Ministers, who face deficit reduction pressures and a financially buoyant industry that is making few economic demands, see the next agreement as a chance to redesign policy emphasis. There are increasing indications that some of the coverage levels in Growing Forward, already considered too weak or unpredictable by many industry
critics, may be diluted to convince farmers to take more responsibility for their own financial situation. It could lead to a greater emphasis on insurance programs. “We continue to work with our partners, both industry and the provinces and territories, to make sure that we deliver on marketplace, not mailbox,” Ritz told an April 20 news conference at the end of a one-day federal-provincial ministers’ meeting. He insisted the next five-year policy framework will be agreed to in principle by ministers in September at a Whitehorse meeting and will be implemented April 1, 2013, as planned. Some industry leaders have questioned whether ministers would be ready to meet the deadline because of delays during the past year with elections in many jurisdictions. “Our goal is to sign the agreement at our annual meeting in September and to have the new framework in place by April 1, 2013,” Ritz said.

End of an era for shelterbelt program
Canada, U.S. to share forestry information
Started in 1901 | The program has provided trees for shelterbelts and farmyards STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU
Like thousands of prairie farmers, Lorne Scott has planted hundreds of trees on his farm near Indian Head, Sask. He weeded and watered, and each year replaced those that didn’t survive. The routine is similar throughout Western Canada, but after next year farmers will have to get their trees somewhere else — and pay for them. The announcement that the federal government will end the Prairie Shelterbelt Program in 2013 caught many off guard. The program has provided free seedlings to farmers and rural landowners from its Indian Head nursery since 1901. In June 2008, Ottawa celebrated the planting of the program’s 600 millionth tree when now-speaker Andrew Scheer planted a seedling on a nearby farm on behalf of agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. Ritz now says that changes in farming practices have rendered shelterbelts redundant. However, former manager Bruce Neill said that oversimplifies the program, which provides trees not only for field shelterbelts but also for farmyards, dugouts, livestock facilities, riparian areas, wildlife plantings, and conservation and reclamation projects. It has provided seedlings to more than 700,000 clients since its inception and still sends out more than three million trees a year to 7,000 clients. “There still is a demand,” said Scott, who is also a former provincial environment minister and current conservation director with Nature Saskatchewan. “A lot of existing shelterbelts are old and past maturity.”
The federal government created the shelterbelt program to reduce the effects of soil erosion. | FILE PHOTO In fact, the research arm of the Agroforestry Development Centre, which will stay in place, is co-hosting a workshop this summer on shelterbelt renovation. “The reasons that people plant trees are as varied as the number of clients that we’ve had,” Neill said. The number of trees distributed annually has been dropping, he added, but to think that trees won’t have to be replaced is wrongheaded. “You’ve got chemicals and technology that are available now for those kinds of soil conservation methods (that trees provided), but we’re in a high potential for quite a changing climate,” Neill said. “How are (those methods) going to p e r f o r m i f y o u hav e e x t e n d e d droughts or other changes in the future. At least with the trees you’ve got something left in place.” Four years ago, the government said that all the seedlings distributed by the shelterbelt centre would sequester more than 218 mega tonnes of carbon, or the equivalent of removing a year’s worth of emissions from 1.3 million SUVs. Agriculture Canada estimates on
its website that the public good from shelterbelt trees since 1981 has been worth $600 million. The value to farmers was pegged at $340 million. Scott said it’s unrealistic to expect individual farmers to be able to afford the replacement of millions of trees that all society enjoys. “We’re talking thousands of trees, not three or four. And then if you go out into your fields and plant them with a tree planter and planting several miles, the cost would be prohibitive,” he said. “No matter where you go from Winnipeg to Calgary, you see trees around farmyards and invariably all of those trees came from the Indian Head shelterbelt centre during the past 110 years, so it’s impractical to think that farmers could buy enough trees to create a decent shelterbelt.” Saskatchewan agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said he would like to see the program continue. “I don’t totally agree with him,” he said, referring to Ritz’s comments about shelterbelts. “He’s right there’s some that have been ripped out and farming prac-
tices have changed, but there’s still a need.” However, he said the province would not take over the centre. He also said Ritz has told him that he wants the private sector to operate it. Bjornerud said a nursery of that size should provide competition to other private companies and keep prices affordable for farmers. He said he is concerned about what happens to the facility if a private company doesn’t buy it. Neill is worried about shelterbelt program employees. Twenty-three jobs in nursery operations and six support positions were officially cut, but planting and harvesting seasons also employed 25 to 40 part-time people. “When you add up the weeks of labour, it’s around 17 more full time (equivalent) people,” he said, adding those numbers don’t show up in government figures. The centre is the biggest employer in Indian Head and finding alternate employment is a huge concern FOR MORE ON GOVERNMENT CUTS, SEE PAGE 15
The Prairie Shelterbelt Program is ending, but research and technology development will continue at the federal Agroforestry Development Centre in Indian Head, Sask. Agriculture Canada has reached a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agroforestry Centre in Lincoln, Nebraska. The agreement, announced just days after Ottawa confirmed that production and distribution of trees from the 111-year-old centre would stop in 2013, is in effect until June 6, 2016. Bruce Wight, the national forester with the USDA’s natural resources conservation service, said information shared by the two centres will be transferred to farmers and put into practice in both countries. I ro n i c a l l y , a j o i n t w o rk s h o p planned for July at the International Peace Gardens in Manitoba will focus on the need to rejuvenate existing shelterbelts. Western Canadian farmers who typically relied on free trees provided by the shelterbelt program for such projects won’t be able to do so after next year. Wight said programs available to American farmers pay 75 percent of the cost of such trees. The MOU will also include the exchange of information about climate change adaptation and mitigation.

PFRA gone, but leaves legacy of conservation, research BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
From windrows surrounding home quarters to Saskatchewan’s numerous dams to Lake Diefenbaker itself — they’re all signs that the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration was here. The federally administered PFRA has continued to evolve since its inception, but once its most recent makeover is complete, it will look drastically different than it did when it was founded during the Great Depression. A fixture on the Prairies, the PFRA grew to offer a variety of services to producers, everything from water development and conservation to community pastures and the shelterbelt program in Indian Head. “That’s something tangible. It’s something you can connect to, to say,
‘the federal government does exist,’ ” said Carl Neggers, who served as PFRA director general for five years, beginning in 2003. Under cuts to Agriculture Canada, the PFRA’s longstanding shelterbelt and community pasture programs will be divested and eventually turned over to the provinces or the private sector. The federal government formed the PFRA at a time when it was trying to mitigate the effects of a lengthy drought and soil erosion and assist producers, many of whom were new to the area from Europe. “They brought their notion of farming with them, which wasn’t a bad thing,” said Neggers. “But when you’re tilling land in the Ukraine and you’ve got 12 inches of topsoil, it’s a lot different than when you’re tilling in the Prairies, where the topsoil could be at certain points

less than an inch thick.” The organization also played an important role in the settlement of the Prairies. Its community pastures — numbering 85 today, 60 of which are in Saskatchewan — marked a drastic shift in federal policy in the 1930s, said Daniel Balkwill, who studied the early days of the program as part of his graduate work at the University of Saskatchewan. “The whole thing was a big example of really the failure of the whole set-
tlement process in the drier areas of Western Canada,” he said. Producers had been offered small farms of 160 acres, often in areas not suited for cultivation. Balkwill said the community pasture program was designed to stop drifting soil and offer producers diversity with pasture land. “They reversed, essentially, 50 years of settlement policy by regrassing that stuff,” he said. When Neggers took over the reins at the PFRA, he helped it make the transition into Agriculture Canada’s agri-environment services branch in 2009. He said the move was intended to take the PFRA out of infrastructure development and into a role where it could help share research and new technologies. “I was charged with looking at it and coming up with alternative and
creative and robust solutions that would keep PFRA relevant into the future and not keep it so immersed in its past without losing its potency,” he said. The agri-environment services branch continued to manage legacy programs such as community pastures and the shelterbelt program, which distributed millions of trees across the Prairies. “I’m not saying they didn’t get it, but it was a lot of arguments and discussions to get them to appreciate what we had done in the past and get them to understand that we were not going to stay in the past, but we were going to reflect on what we did in the past and not throw the baby out with the bath water,” said Neggers. L a s t m o nt h’s f e d e ra l b u d g e t unveiled plans to amalgamate the agri-environment services branch into a science and technology centre.

ALBERTA ELECTION ELECTION RESULTS | REACTION
Redford vows change is on the way Surprise win | Despite what polls were predicting, Alberta Progressive Conservatives return to power with a majority BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU &
BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
Albertans showed they prefer a softer side of conservatism when they returned their 41-year-old Progressive Conservative government back to power April 23. The closely watched election saw a PC majority declared an hour after polls closed when many expected a rout by the upstart Wildrose Alliance Party, which formed two years ago as a right wing protest. On election night many pundits speculated Albertans backed off from the fiscal conservatism offered by Wildrose preferring the more lenient budget passed by the government at the end of March. However Alison Redford, as premier elect of the 12th straight PC majority and the longest ruling Tory government in Canadian history, promised her party will honour change and rejuvenation demanded by voters. She will face a lively opposition party that campaigned on a platform of honouring property rights, improving access to public health care and paying off provincial debt. “You spoke loudly and I heard you,” Redford told a small, but noisy group of supporters in downtown Calgary. Redford and her closest competitor Wildrose leader Danielle Smith already changed histor y in the province. She is the first elected female Alberta premier and Smith will be the first woman leader of the opposition. Leading up to election night, it seemed many voters were in favour of Wildrose’s agenda of more tightly controlled government spending, according to polls, but controversial social and environmental issues in the final week of the campaign may have swayed undecided voters to cast their lots with the Conservatives. Smith commented that climate change is debatable and two Wildrose candidates expressed personal opinions that riled gay rights supporters and ethnic voters. The election saw an improved voter turnout of around 50 percent, up 10 points from the 2008 vote that gave then premier Ed Stelmach a record majority. Wildrose leader Smith acknowledged change in Alberta might take

“a little longer than we thought.” Shortly after another PC majority was confirmed, Smith told supporters in her Highwood riding that she was not discouraged. “Albertans have decided that Wildrose might need some time,” she said in her concession speech. “Today I stand at the helm of the official opposition. I’m sorry it didn’t end the way we all dreamed.” The PC majority defied most polls leading up to the vote. At press time, seats stood at 62 for the Conservatives, 18 for Wildrose, and four for the New Democratic Party and Liberals were at three seats with leader Raj Shermann fighting to hold on by less than 50 votes. check With four seats, the NDP doubled its fortunes from 2008 and will receive official party status. All four were in Edmonton. Roger Epp, University of Alberta political science professor, said immediately after the election that the results were difficult to interpret but it may be evidence of a widening rural-urban split in provincial politics. “It’s clear that Wildrose is the party of choice outside of Calgary, in southern Alberta,” he said. “It’s now a mostly rural, mostly southern caucus” for Wildrose, he added. “Maybe there’s a kind of kickback or something out of some of the rural areas.” Two former agriculture ministers lost their seats. Evan Berger was defeated in Livingstone Macleod and Jack Hayden lost his seat in Drumheller-Stettler, both to Wildrose opponents. Epp speculated that concerns over property rights may have resonated in areas where people were concerned over the building of electrical lines, namely in the south. Larry Sears, a cattle rancher from Stavely, Alta., said he was disappointed with the result but was confident Wildrose would be an effective opposition.

“They’re too scared to offend the greenies. They’re too scared to step up and do what’s right for business. It’s not a good operating environment for anyone.” Marshall Copithorne, a rancher from Cochrane, said his support for Wildrose was based on the party’s pro-business approach and plans to reduce excessive regulation. “I consider myself a businessman, whether I’m in agriculture, oil and gas or any other business. I need a government that works with me and for me,” said Copithorne. He added he was disappointed that the Conservatives didn’t do more for
the Alberta cattle industry in 2003 when BSE was discovered. “Canadian producers were hit the hardest because we were overregulated.” Copithorne was pessimistic about the future under another Conservative majority. “I guess I’ll just go ahead and try and find a buyer and sell out, because I don’t see any use in carrying on a business in an environment where you have no security of your property and no assurance that you’re going to be treated fairly in international markets.” Epp said election results should make for a livelier legislature, with

Wildrose forming a stronger block than past opposition and the NDP doubling their strength. “Maybe we’ve seen the end of a certain phase within Alberta history.”
Rural Albertans will need to work harder to have their voices heard in a new government that will have fewer rural members, said the chair of Alberta Beef Producers. When the votes were counted the Progressive Conservatives held onto 62 seats, but the Wildrose grabbed 17 seats, mostly in rural ridings. Rural politicians used to working closely with the governing Conservative party will need to work harder to grab the attention of urban politicians, said Doug Sawyer. “We’re going to have to work hard to educate the non-rural guys about the rural. It puts a lot of extra work for us in ag and we’ll have to spend more time in Edmonton and get these people up to speed about what our needs are,” said Sawyer. Having a stronger opposition that will bring forth rural issues may turn out to be a benefit, said Sawyer, who said he was disappointed t w o f o r m e r A BP c ha i r s A r n o Doerksen and Darcy Davis failed to get elected in their southern Alberta ridings. “They were great representatives for rural and agriculture,” said Sawyer. “In rural Alberta, people were looking for a change and a balance in the house.” Colleen Boddez, head of the Alberta Landowners Council, which is opposing controversial land and property bills, said she was disappointed with the results and will have to think about the next step. “For now, we have to stop and think about how we are going to move forward. We’re going to have to reflect on it.” Boddez said in areas where land issues became an election issue, the Wildrose candidates won. She hopes the loss of rural seats sends a message to the government to continue to amend the land issue bills and realize rural Albertans are angry. Lynn Jacobson, president of the Wild Rose Alberta Producers believes a stronger opposition, especially from rural members, will bring rural issues forward. “It might be a better way of putting the issues before government,” said Jacobson. “It’s going to be an interesting dynamic. It will make for a more lively government,” said Jacobson, adding the general farm organization will work with all parties to bring rural issues to government. “We’re willing to work with the government of the day, but we will also be in more contact with the opposition.”

Is El Nino coming to the West? Forecasters’ opinions differ The U.S. government weather agency says there is a 15 percent chance of an El Nino this summer BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
It will be a different face on rural Alberta with Wildrose picking up a lot of prominent rural seats. BOB BARSS ALBERTA ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS AND COUNTIES
Bob Barss, chair of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, said the government lost a lot of experienced cabinet ministers in the election, especially members from rural Alberta. Many politicians started as rural councillors and moved to the provincial level and took with them a strong understanding of rural issues, he said. Defeated candidates and former agriculture ministers Jack Hayden and Evan Berger started their careers as rural councillors. “It will be a different face on rural Alberta with Wildrose picking up a lot of prominent rural seats,” said Barss of Wainwright. Barss said they have a good working relationship with the premier and expect that won’t change. “In all our conversations with her she has been very positive. It’s our job as the AAMD&C to continue to work with the government and continue to work with the premier and show her the needs of rural Alberta.”
Forecasts of an El Nino-influenced summer might be premature, according to a U.S. government agenc y that studies the oceans and atmosphere. Bryce Anderson, senior meteorologist with DTN, has been telling people there is a 60 percent chance of El Nino replacing La Nina by June. He based his forecast on the fact that an El Nino system has immediately followed a La Nina system in six out of the last 10 times there has been two consecutive years of La Nina weather. Mike Halpert, deputy director for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said coming to that conclusion is a big leap of faith because of the lack of data. “If you think about the history of the world, that’s a fairly small sample size,” he said. The NOAA has issued a forecast calling for a 15 percent chance of El Nino in May-July compared to a 75 percent chance of neutral conditions and a 10 percent chance of La Nina. Neutral is by far the most likely scenario in spring and summer. It isn’t until November-January that the probability of El Nino rises to 40 percent, marginally eclipsing the odds for neutral conditions. “Since that forecast came out, we’ve had more model runs and they are kind of leaning more towards El Nino,” said Halpert. He doesn’t know whether the probability of a winter El Nino will rise to 50 percent by the time the agency’s next monthly climate forecast is released May 3. However, he said it is highly unlikely that it will reach 60 percent for the summer, as DTN is forecasting. “If histor y is the judge, we wouldn’t really expect to see El Nino
until the fall or early winter.” Halpert said any climate forecast made during this time of year is suspect because there are too many random variables that can hinder the outlook. “We’re kind of in the middle of what is affectionately called the spring barrier,” he said. “We know that what we’re looking at historically has not proven to be the most skillful forecast.” Even if an El Nino event developed as early as this summer, it is unlikely that it will be strong enough to drastically influence weather patterns, certainly not one of the magnitude of the 1997-98 or 198283 events. El Nino events tend to have more of an impact on winter weather than summer weather in North America. It can bring cool and wet weather across the southern United States and milder and drier winters in Canada. A winter El Nino could affect the palm growing countries of Indonesia and Malaysia. It would create dry conditions in that region of the world. Michael Shean, an international crop analyst with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service, said most El Nino events have a limited effect on palm oil production. “It would have to be a pretty severe event for it to significantly influence palm yields.” The last time that occurred was the 1997 El Nino, which contributed to a 12 percent decrease in Malaysia’s palm yields the following year and a 19 percent drop in Indonesia’s. “If we’re just phasing into an El Nino, it’s less likely you’re going to see that kind of an impact,” said Shean. Any yield decline wouldn’t be felt right away because there is usually a one-year lag between drought and reduced yields for palm trees.

FUTURES CONTRACTS | NEW OFFERINGS
Market experts cautious of new contract Volume inadequate now but ICE expects more trade as crop year nears BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU
The international crop futures market is heating up with inter-exchange competition, but the most relevant new Canadian crop futures contracts still have a doubtful future. Winnipeg’s ICE Futures Canada’s new contracts for milling wheat, durum and barley are seeing paltry trading with less than four months to go until the new crop year. It has some marketing advisers sounding skeptical that farmers will ever be able to use the new Winnipeg contracts. However, most in the grain industry say there is still time for trade to be ignited. “The longer it goes without any action, the less likely it will be a commercial contract, but there’s no cutoff date,” said analyst, hedger and trader John Duvenaud of Wild Oats, a market advisory firm. “The crop’s not even been planted yet.” Derek Squair, manager of AgriTrend Marketing, said he won’t consider putting farmers into the ICE milling wheat and durum contracts until there is a deep pool of liquidity. “It would be very difficult for farmers to start using that,” he said. “Right now, Minneapolis, Chicago and Kansas City (the locations of the three other North American exchanges that have wheat futures contracts) give us pretty good liquidity.” However, ICE Canada president Brad Vannan said it might be too early to expect much trading: there is still little commercial trading of new crop wheat, there is no spot cash market for wheat yet, and there are no nearby contracts in operation. “When wheat starts to trade in the spot and deferred markets, I’d expect to see volumes showing up,” said Vannan. The greatest volume of trade in most futures markets tends to happen in the nearby month that is not on the brink of liquidation. Prices of the “front month” tend to be close to those in the cash market if the contract is operating correctly. For that, there
TRADE FOCUSES ON NEARBY Trade in new ICE Futures Canada contracts for milling and durum wheat has struggled partly because the contracts don’t come into effect until the new crop year. Trade in futures contracts normally focuses on nearby months and can also reflect spreads between new crop and old. In canola, almost all the current open interest is in May, July and November.

needs to be a vibrant cash market. If a healthy cash market is reflected in the nearby contract, then trade can develop for contracts for later months. Traders employ spreadtrading strategies within the months as they attempt to speculate on market direction or jump on arbitrage opportunities. Most of those features are now missing for the new ICE Winnipeg grain contracts. As of April 23, only 74 contracts were open in the new milling wheat futures and 52 open in durum, compared to 236,347 open contracts in canola. June is often cited in the grain industry as the “make or break” month for when the new contracts have to show some life. It is near the beginning of the new crop year and something about the size and quality of the crop can be assumed from early conditions. As well, commercial trading of the new crop becomes substantial.
Squair said that if the new contracts are to ever show any life, it will likely be November-January, when commercial activity and farmer selling is hectic. However, he said he will probably continue to use U.S. wheat futures until the trade in the Winnipeg contracts is large enough to calm worries about liquidity. Even some U.S. futures are less liquid on some days than he is comfortable with, he added. “We have our challenges with Minneapolis with the protein wheats there,” said Squair. “We even do some spring wheats off of Chicago, as crazy as that sounds. But we just need liquidity (sometimes). Going one step further away from a liquid market (by using Winnipeg futures) is risky.” Establishing a vibrant new contract is a daunting challenge for any market, and many new contracts have failed over the years. However, there is significant world-
wide demand for ways to speculate on crop prices for hedging and investing purposes. As a result, new contracts were introduced recently at both ICE’s American exchange, which is planning to offer cash-settled contracts mirroring the CBOT’s winter wheat, corn, soybean and soybean oil futures contracts, and at the CBOT, which is offering Black Sea wheat futures contracts. The ICE contracts aren’t just similar to the CBOT contracts, but are fastened directly to the CBOT settlement prices. They are designed to be most useful to large speculative users who do not want to be subject to the threat of delivery and who want easy interoperability with other ICE futures. The CBOT Black Sea futures contract is designed to be useful for commercial and speculative users. Its main point is to be able to more accurately represent cash prices in the ports of the region
where most Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh crops are sold. Traders now use either Western European or CBOT wheat futures prices to hedge Black Sea grain, but the basis levels between the futures delivery zones and the Black Sea ports can vary widely and reduce the effectiveness of hedging or speculating against the cash market. Vannan takes solace in the thinking behind the new CBOT contract because it is what ICE is doing with the Winnipeg contracts. “The same reason the CME (the owner of the CBOT) said we have to come up with a contract that reflects the parts of the Black Sea region is why we created the Canadian contracts, to recognize the importance and differences of the Canadian production region in global trade,” said Vannan. “We recognized you need specific price discovery for Canada.”

U.S. forecasters call for cool spring | Environment Canada predicts warm

U.S. weather forecasters dispute Environment Canada’s outlook for above normal temperatures on the Canadian Prairies this summer. “I actually did a couple of studies and they both come up with the same general solution that it will not be a hot summer. There will be a tendency for cooler than usual conditions to occur,” said Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. in Kansas. His forecast meshes with one prepared by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which calls for below normal temperatures in Montana and the western half of North Dakota in May, June and July. NOAA does not conduct forecasts for Canada, but its map showing the potential for cool temperatures in Montana and North Dakota extends into Saskatchewan, Alberta and southwestern Manitoba. Lerner based his forecast on a statistical hunch that Mother Nature will break the recent trend of warmer-than-normal weather, as well as on an 18-year weather cycle that should bring cool conditions to Western Canada. “We can go back and look at many years that look very similar to this (year), so the confidence is very high that we’ll go down this road,” he said. Lerner believes cool conditions will be more prevalent in Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan in May and June and then shift toward the southwestern Prairies. Alberta may start the growing season with normal to slightly above normal temperatures before cooling off in June. He forecasts good moisture throughout the summer for at least two-thirds of the Prairies. The only dry spots he sees are in Alberta’s Peace River area, southeastern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba. The extent of dryness in the southeastern Prairies will depend on a highpressure ridge in the United States.
The stronger the ridge becomes and the further it pushes into Canada, the drier it will be in that area. “That’s what we’re going to be watching,” he said. Wet, cool weather in the early growing season could delay seeding and crop growth in some areas, he said. “This crop will mature a little bit slower, so that’s the thing we have to worry about,” he said. Farmers may need a little extra time in the fall to harvest the 2012 crop, which elevates the potential for frost damage. The NOAA three-month forecast calls for above normal temperatures across a large swath of the southern U.S., including a large portion of Texas, a key winter wheat producing state that suffered severe drought last year. Lerner agreed that the southern Plains is in for a hotter than usual summer, but he doesn’t think that will threaten the winter wheat crop because plenty of rain is also forecast.
“I’m sure that by the time we get any kind of extreme weather going, the crop is going to be around the corner,” he said. However, there is lingering concern over the winter wheat crop in the northern Midwest where soft wheat dominates. The U.S. experienced the warmest March on record with an average temperature of 10.6 C, which was 4.8 C hotter than the 20th century average. Twenty-five states broke records for the hottest March. Dennis Todey, state climatologist for South Dakota, said that caused winter wheat in the northern Midwest to break dormancy early. “Because plants were so far along and they had accumulated so much heat, they were ripe for a freeze,” he said. And that’s exactly what happened in early April. Farmers are still assessing losses to the winter wheat crop in that area.
Strong soybean prices won’t buy the acres in the United States that the market needs, says an analyst. Prices shot up in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s March 30 Prospective Plantings report that predicted 95.9 million acres of corn and 73.9 million acres of soybeans. “It’s our opinion that we probably need anywhere from 76 to 77 million acres of beans to be planted, especially given what seems to be imploding South American expectations,” said Pete Meyer, an analyst with PIRA Energy Group. “We’re just not going to get there, and the reason for that is because a lot of the U.S. farmers had already put down fertilizer in the fall with an eye towards planting corn and they’re not going to make that switch.” He anticipates 750,000 to one million acres will move from corn to soybeans by the time the USDA releases its next acreage report at the end of June. The soybean industry easily needs a shift of twice that magnitude to make up for Argentina’s shortfall and to meet overwhelming Chinese demand. Argentina further slashed its soybean production estimate late last week to 42.9 million tonnes, which is well below the latest USDA estimate of 45 million tonnes. “Quite honestly, I think that old crop (soy)beans are destined for at least $15 a bushel,” said Meyer. Soybean prices are 2.5 times higher than corn prices, compared to 2.2 times higher earlier in the year. Any multiple below 2.3 favours corn seeding. Today’s values are slightly tilted toward seeding soybeans. “The price probably merits a shift, but I think the price increase in the soybeans in comparison to corn maybe happened a little too late in the year for the southern producers, for sure,” said Steve Wellman, president of the American Soybean Association. He agreed with Meyer that one million acres will likely shift because of the application of fall fertilizer and ideal spring seeding conditions.

“We have probably the fastest corn planting progress in history in most areas of the United States,” said Wellman. Growers had planted 28 percent of the U.S. corn crop as of April 22, which is well above the 2007-11 average of 15 percent. Meyer said the anticipated acreage shift into soybeans will likely have limited impact on either corn or soybean prices. Corn will be more influenced by whether China buys as much of the 2011-12 U.S. corn crop as the market generally anticipates. And by the time the June acreage report is released, all eyes will be on what South American farmers are intending to plant. “They had a really bad year this year and they’re just going to plant as much as they can with beans,” he said. A big South American crop would take the top off the soybean market, but it won’t show up until the May contract of 2013, so there is plenty of time for soybean prices to rally further to reflect the anticipated nearterm shortfall. Wellman said the growing season is starting out nicely for U.S. producers, who got a good jump on this year’s crop. “If you follow the agronomists’ advice, early planting adds bushels,” he said.

I
hope you read our coverage of the Statistics Canada seeding intentions report in the daily news section of Producer.com and in the daily canola report on Producermobile.com. The newspaper is normally put together on Monday and so we turn to our websites for immediate coverage of market-moving reports that
come after our deadline. We’ll have more in-depth analysis of the Statistics Canada report in our May 3 issue, and because of a slight change in the organization of the paper, we’ll have more room in the Markets section to display it. As you have seen in our advertisements, we are moving the market data now found on page 8 to the back of the paper to the page beside our weather maps and data. The content will be the same, only the location will be different. This will free up page 8, allowing us to run more market news and analysis in this section each week. We often produce more market news than will fit in these four pages and didn’t like it that our subscribers had to go looking for it. Now there will be more certainty — the news and analysis will be in the Markets section and the price data will always be
beside the weather. While I’m talking about our information, I’ll note that because of the changes at the CWB, it is no longer providing some data, such as its asking prices at port. We tracked that information in our line charts, but now that the information is no longer available, we are charting the new ICE Futures barley and milling and durum wheat contracts. We hope that ICE Futures Canada’s reassurance is correct that trade in these contracts will pick up as we approach the new crop year. The Statistics Canada report this week likely confirmed that a record canola crop is coming. Even with that big crop, the world oilseed supply will likely remain tight through this calendar year because of the drought in South America, an inadequate U.S. soybean crop and
frost and dry weather damage to the rapeseed crop in the European Union. But the market could come under pressure as we get into winter. By that time, it will probably be clear that South American farmers will seed more acres to soybeans. If an El Nino develops, as some have forecasted, it normally delivers good moisture and production prospects to South America. That has the potential to depress oilseed markets late in the 2012-13 marketing year. It is too early to make any firm forecasts for 2012-13, but don’t assume a repeat of 2011-12 when canola prices after harvest were the lowest of the year and then rallied to more than $600 through the winter.

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES UP U.S. beef prices soared last week as reduced kills and gathering demand for barbecue season finally had an effect. U.S. Choice rose almost $10 per hundredweight over the week. Strong demand from the U.S. helped Canadian fed steers rise to an average $100.40, up $1.03, and heifers averaged $110.12, up $1.02. Dressed sales rose $2, with sales at $186-$188 delivered. The show list volume increased sharply. Cattle that had been carried over for the past couple of weeks finally traded. With more fall-placed calves on the horizon, producers opted to list greener calves in anticipation that they will remain on feed for another three to four weeks. Sales totalled 21,023, up 51 percent. The week’s cash-to-futures basis narrowed $1.23 to close at -$9.34. Weekly fed exports to April 7 were steady at 11,357. Two-tier pricing might develop because longer-fed yearlings should command a premium over calves. The opportunity to sell yearlings to the United States will remain, but U.S. packers could be less aggressive as fed calf numbers rise. The show list should be smaller this week, which should firm prices.
COW PRICES RISE Grilling season is just around the corner, leading to increased demand for hamburger and non-fed cattle.
D1, D2 cows rose $2.31 per cwt. to average $78.81 and D3 cow rose 33 cents. Rail prices surged $3-$4 to $151$156 per cwt. Strong demand pushed bulls up $2.88 to average $90.13 per cwt. Weekly non-fed exports to April 7 totalled 3,254 head, up three percent from the previous week.
FEEDERS LOWER Lackluster feeding margins pushed feeder prices lower. Steers lighter than 600 pounds saw prices $1-$2 per cwt. lower, while heifer calves were $1.50-$3 lower.
Steers and heifers 600-800 lb. were 25 cents lower. Good demand for feeders heavier than 800 lb. saw steer prices rise 50 cents and heifers climb 50 cents-$1.50. The auction offering was a surprising three percent larger at 26,103 head. It appears producers marketed a flush of cows and backgrounders before starting spring seeding. Weekly feeder exports to April 7 were down 12 percent at 5,504 head. Improved moisture could revive interest for cattle to put on grass. North American feeder supplies will likely tighten and U.S. interest in local feeders will support price.
BEEF MARKETS DIVERGE U.S. Choice cutouts rose $10.38 US and Select rose $7.95. The r ise was not reflected in Canada. The Montreal wholesale market for delivery this week fell $ 1 t o $ 2 1 1 - $ 2 1 3 C d n . We e k l y Canadian cutouts to April 13 saw AAA cutouts fall $2.17 per cwt. and AA fell $1.20.
CATTLE ON FEED The U.S. Department of Agriculture cattle on feed report was bearish, putting the number of cattle in the largest U.S. feedlots at 11.39 million,
up two percent from last year. Analysts expected a 2.3 percent increase. Placements in March were 1.91 million, down six percent. Analysts expected a drop of 7.6 percent. Marketings were 1.99 million, down four percent. Traders expected a drop of 5.4 percent.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS LITTLE CHANGED U.S. packers slowed demand, cut production hours and reduced the Saturday kill to try to push their processing margins back into positive territory. Packers have been losing money for many weeks. Additional pressure stemmed from news that China plans to increase state buying of frozen pork to lift pork prices and support farmers’ income. This might hurt longer-term U.S. pork exports to China. After being a major inflation item in previous years in China, pork prices have dropped for most of this year as production rose. The Chinese government plans to implement mea-
sures, including larger pork stockpiles, to control the volatility of hog and pork markets. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs were $61 US per hundredweight April 20, up only slightly from $60 April 13. The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value fell to less than $77 midweek but recovered to $78.09 April 20, up from $77.01 April 13. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter was 2.08 million, up from 2.044 million the previous week.
BISON UNCHANGED The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.65-$3.90 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.60-$3.90.
Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.40-$2.60. In the live market, heifers born in 2011 were $2-$2.50 and bulls were $2.25-$2.75. Feeder bulls and heifers born in 2010 were $2-$2.10.
LAMBS, SHEEP STEADY Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 357 sheep and 99 goats sold April 16. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $230-$260 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $215-$240, 86-105 lb. were $185$215 and 106 lb. and heavier were $160-$179.
Wool rams were $62-$80 per cwt. Cull ewes were $61-$93 and bred ewes were $250-$320 per head. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $225-$246 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $207-$230, 86-105 lb. were $180$210 and 106 lb. and heavier were $160-$178. Hair rams were $65-$80 per cwt. Cull ewes were $64-$75. Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $250-$320. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $230-$300 per cwt. Nannies were $80-$110 per cwt. Billies were $112.50-$147.50. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 952 sheep and lambs and 50 goats traded April 16. All sheep, lambs and goats traded at prices steady to the pre-Easter market.

CONSERVATIVE BUDGET CUTS | LACK OF INFORMATION
CRAIG’S VIEW
Ag sector wants answers; who, where, what is cut
T
he Conservative majority government seemed to be proud of its deficit-cutting budget when it came down on March 29. Since then, it has become apparent that it’s not proud enough to provide the details of those cuts to the Canadians they will most affect. This is certainly true at Agriculture Canada, where $310 million will be chopped from the budget over two years. Farmers know the amount, but they also deserve to know how the cuts will be applied. Tony Clement, the treasury board president, said last week that the numbers are not being verified due to union negotiations and won’t be available until 2013. He also said he is as frustrated as Canadians are about the lack of clarity. That’s unlikely. Canadians are expressing a lot of frustration. And, even if final tallies are impossible due to negotiations, estimates are certainly possible. In an interesting twist, some information is coming out from those same unions. They say 1,000 federal agriculture-related jobs will be lost over the next few years. The affected workers will include researchers, food inspectors and technical support staff, but how many of each we do not know. Ron Bonnett, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said recently that the piecemeal nature of the information makes it hard to assess the impact of the cuts and determine how much will come from efficiencies and how much from services to farmers. “It is coming to us in bits and pieces and that is frustrating,” he said. Questions should also be asked about the wisdom of the specific cuts we do know about. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz says the cuts are intended to find efficiencies inside government, or to get out of areas where the private sector could 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,” said Ritz. “We’d like to move to a 50-50 formula at best and maybe beyond that.” As part of those cuts, the government will close the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg within two years. Of 100 positions at the Cereal Research Centre, 41 will apparently be cut, with the remainder moved to stations at Morden and Brandon. Unfortunately, Canada is seriously behind other nations in wheat research and needs to step up the speed of bringing on new varieties. Cutting back federal funding is not going to help. Furthermore, how can the government be sure that private interests will take up the slack? Even if they do, they will do so largely for their own purposes and develop proprietary products and varieties. Among other programs to feel the knife, the shelterbelt program at Indian Head, Sask., will lose all 30 jobs and be shifted to the provinces or the private sector, as will western community pastures. Staff positions at the rural and co-operatives secretariat will reportedly fall to 15 from 92 positions, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will lose 100 positions, according to union information. Clearly, the Conservative government is feeling politically fearless, and with reason. Agriculture in Canada, particularly Western Canada, has perhaps never been so economically strong. The Conservatives seem to believe they can therefore hack programs and slash jobs with little fallout. While the government’s much-vaunted fiscal responsibility may be crucial to the Canadian economy, it must be careful to identify which cuts are necessary and which will hold back the now-burgeoning agriculture sector. At the same time, farmers are entitled to have more clarity on which services will be cut — today, not in 2013.
AGRICULTURAL COUNCILS LOSE FUNCTION | NO MORE DELIVERING FEDERAL PROGRAM MONEY
What we’re doing with a lot of our deficit action plan is looking at different ways to administer, looking at more effective, efficient ways to deliver the programs without the cost of administration.
They would be centralizing and consolidating. To have a decision made with no explanation behind it is frustrating. We think it is wrong. HEATHER BROUGHTON, AGRICULTURE AND FOOD COUNCIL OF ALBERTA CHAIR

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT | DAIRY, POULTRY
Call for weakening of supply management disregards farm families involved NATIONAL VIEW
BARRY WILSON
J
ust to be clear on this, let’s examine the implications of the latest business salvo against Canada’s supply management system. A system that for more than three decades has seen dairy and poultry farmers make their living from market returns without subsidies should suddenly be jettisoned for a system that would see a multibillion-dollar bill sent to taxpayers so they can
spend a few cents less on imported cheese. Let me work on the logic of this, but first, let’s consider the background and context of this latest call for a weakening of supply management import protections. In a paper published April 23 by the organization representing Canada’s big business leaders led by former Liberal deputy prime minister John Manley, Mike Gifford argued that for Canada to gain a seat at Asian trade liberalization negotiations, it should be willing to jettison existing ironclad protections for dairy and poultry producers against unpredictable imports. Gifford’s view carries weight. He represented Canada as the chief international agricultural negotiator through two rounds of North Ameri-
can free trade negotiations more than two decades ago and in the last successful international trade negotiation agreement in 1993. All the while, he loyally defended Canada’s demand that protectionist supply management be protected. But Gifford now says rigid supply management support blocks trade opportunities for export sectors. In essence, he is challenging the logic of the Nov. 22, 2005, unanimous House of Commons vote that said no molecule of supply management support must be compromised by trade negotiators. That is an easy resolution to challenge. It was a reckless political play before the 2006 election that produced an untenable demand on future trade negotiations. In the give-and-take of trade nego-
tiations (and Canada is a trading nation), nothing can be forever untouchable. So Gifford is suggesting that this is the time to move on. Trans-Pacific Partnership trade negotiations beckon. If Canada does not join, trading sectors will lose and therefore Canada should accede to demands by the United States, New Zealand and Australia that supply management protections be offered on the altar of change. In reality, supply management is more of an ideological issue than a trade issue. In the big picture of Asian market opportunities, a bit more access to Canada’s dairy and poultry market is small potatoes. But Canadian free trade swagger and its little protectionist secret irks other countries.
S o what would be the consequence? Gifford says governments (i.e. taxpayers) would have to contemplate significant compensation to a system built on government promises of stability. Dairy and poultry farmers would have to line up at the public trough like most other sectors have had to do during the past decade. And by the way, since most other countries like the U.S. protect their sensitive sectors, there is no reason to assume they will sacrifice their farm protections no matter what Canada does, he says. Surely a stronger argument is needed before a successful system is undermined for the dream of an ideal rather than the assurance of a result.

Ag needs to rebrand GM crops as ‘green’
Farm price rise cause for alarm south of border
BY PETER W.B. PHILLIPS
E
uropean politicians and regulators are viewed as the major barrier to the development, adaptation, adoption and diffusion of biotechnology in the global agrifood system. Considering that the countries that belong to the European Union produce more food than any other country in the world and are the world’s largest trader in agri-food crops, they cannot be ignored. As long as they are unwilling to fully use the technology, biotechnology companies and farmers around the world will face challenges in profiting from the new technology. I have recently returned from Brussels, the home of the key government structures of the EU. I was a participant in a Canadian government advocacy event co-ordinated through the European Parliament. A panel of Canadian regulators, a farmer and me, an academic, were invited to talk about the regulatory, scientific, economic and environmental effects of GM crops in Canada. I was surprised at the changes in attitude and structure in Brussels. In the late 1980s, the European government footprint in Brussels was modest. Twenty-three years later, Brussels is clearly at the epicentre of a much more expansive and aggressive European government. EU policy about GM crops is of vital interest to many reading this, but it would be hard to see that it is on the top of the agenda in Brussels. Our audience was relatively small, but intently interested in what we had to
Europe would be more accepting of genetically modified crops if their environmental advantages were promoted. | FILE PHOTO say. The chair, a Scottish member of the European parliament, immediately bemoaned the absence of any effective dialogue about GM crops in the EU. We thought the best part of Canada’s story is that GM crops, especially the herbicide tolerant canola varieties that Canada had a major part in developing, have proven the efficacy of our regulatory system and generated real and measurable economic returns for innovators, farmers and consumers.
However, our audience really perked up only when we talked about the environmental effects. There is strong evidence, both at the farm level and in the context of recent regional studies, that GM canola has been good for the environment. Herbicides used on GM canola incorporate fewer active ingredients, are less toxic than those used for conventional canola, require fewer applications and are less pervasive in the environment, all which benefit
farmers, consumers and the broader ecology. Probably as important, GM canola has contributed to a dramatic change in farm practices. More than 75 percent of producers now use conservation tillage practices, which preserve organic matter in the soil, conser ve moisture, reduce erosion and — most intriguing for our audience — sequestered more than one million tonnes of carbon annually in 2005-07. The International Panel on Climate Change estimates that crop production contributes up to 12 percent of anthropomorphic carbon dioxide, which is one of the major contributors to climate change. The Europeans were particularly excited that the technology could address this important EU issue. The lure of more and cheaper food and more profitable farming generated little or no interest. The consensus of those at the meeting was that only the environmental evidence has any chance of shifting public opinion and eliminating regulatory roadblocks in the EU. Perhaps it is time to rebrand GM crops as green alternatives to conventional technologies. With the right evidence and the right presentation, it might just be possible to bring the EU into the fold, as full-fledged developers, adaptors, adopters and consumers of GM food. Phillips is a professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s JohnsonShoyama Graduate School of Public Policy. The above is an edited version of his blog on the Ag-West Bio site, www.agwest.sk.ca/blog.

Canola’s success big headache for other crops HURSH ON AG
KEVIN HURSH
T
he success of canola is having ripple effects throughout the western Canadian grain industry. As producers, we often complain about the exorbitant price of canola seed. Farm-saved seed still dominates in most other crops, but with canola you need to buy seed each year. At $10 to $12 a pound, or $50 to $60 an acre, it’s a significant cost. While we complain, we buy it anyway because canola has the best profitability potential of any major crop. The new hybrid varieties are delivering improved yields over a wide range of conditions. As well, weed control is a snap because of the
various herbicide tolerance systems. Old crop prices have been higher than $14 a bushel and new crop has been in the $12.50 range. Domestic crushers are competing against the export market for supply. This spring, canola acres will increase in both traditional and nontraditional growing regions. The crop will dominate the landscape like never before. It’s clear that prairie acreage will set a new record, with analysts anticipating 20 to 22 million acres. By the time this is published, the April 24 seeding intentions report from Statistics Canada will be out. The burgeoning canola acreage is coming at the expense of other crops. This is particularly true with flaxseed. Canada has all but lost its major flax market because of minute contamination with the GM variety Triffid. EU countries that previously relied on Canada are now buying their flax from countries such as Kazakhstan, where a single grower is reported to have planted more than 100,000 acres last year. But this doesn’t actually account
for the dramatic decline in Canadian flax acreage. China has stepped up and is buying all the flax Canada can supply. Flax prices are in the range of $14 a bushel, with new crop prices are not far behind. That’s extremely attractive, but with canola typically yielding much better, flax is not poised for a significant acreage increase. Canola pencils out with a higher net return. Mustard, another oilseed, is also having trouble competing with canola returns, but it isn’t just oilseeds that are affected. The popularity of canola will limit the acreages of wheat, oats and almost every other cropping option. While other crops may see a small rise in acreage because more land will be seeded this year, those increases would have been higher without the canola tidal wave. You can’t blame growers for wanting to maximize returns, but there are unintended consequences. Lower production in crops such as flax, oats and mustard will reduce the producer check-off money collected for research projects. The Saskatchewan
Flax Development Commission recently increased its levy deduction to compensate for declining revenues. Long-term markets may also be affected. Western Canada, particularly Saskatchewan, has enjoyed a dominant position in some crops in the world market, particularly flax, canaryseed, mustard and durum. If we don’t grow enough of those crops to satisfy demand, you can be sure that other countries will nab the opportunity. This has already happened with flax and to a lesser degree with mustard. The biggest worry is with disease. Will the tightening of canola rotations cause clubroot to spiral out of control? Will the blackleg resistance bred into the crop break down? Are we shooting the goose that’s laying the golden egg? What’s good in the short term isn’t always the right choice for the long term.

ast week, an auction company in the United States announced that a 97-acre tract of Michigan farmland sold for $8,865 per acre. The bidding was intense. Even when it reached $7,000 per acre, there were several bidders still competing, said the company. Keep in mind that this was actual farmland, not an area intended to increase urban sprawl. The buyer intends to farm it, and plans to add irrigation. This is not even a Midwest record. In 2011, farmland prices rose 22 percent in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Michigan, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. News reports say prime land in Wisconsin recently sold for $12,000 an acre, and while you may think that’s incredible, it’s common for land there to sell for $5,000 to $10,000. At those prices, U.S. farmers better hope commodity prices stay high and interest rates low. Fortunately, farmers are taking on less debt than they have in the past, but if you finance at these prices, things could get ugly pretty quickly with a commodity downturn, interest rate hike or bad weather. Western Canadian farmland, luckily, is not pulling $10,000 an acre, but prices are rising. Farm Credit Canada’s recent farmland values report, which covers July 1 to Dec. 31, 2011, showed land in Alberta rising 4.5 percent, Manitoba 1.9 percent and Saskatchewan a whopping 10.1 percent. This is not really new. Farmland has been increasing in value for a decade, and prices in many places have tripled since 2007. While Manitoba and Alberta land values were up in 2011, their markets were more stable than Saskatchewan’s. FCC’s commentary notes that Saskatchewan’s results seem to be mirroring what’s happening in the U.S., driven by good conditions, low interest rates and oil and gas land availability. Talk is rising about bubbles, but this is not a bubble yet, at least not in Western Canada. There may be problem areas, but farmland here is still cheap by global standards, and reasonably affordable. The U.S. farmland boom, however, not unlike the housing boom, should be reason for concern. Financing $10,000 per acre may be viable today, but prices and interest rates could be dramatically different five or 10 years from now. That could easily have negative spill-over effects for Canadian farmers, not to mention the global economy — again.

Ag needs to rebrand GM crops as ‘green’
Farm price rise cause for alarm south of border
BY PETER W.B. PHILLIPS
E
uropean politicians and regulators are viewed as the major barrier to the development, adaptation, adoption and diffusion of biotechnology in the global agrifood system. Considering that the countries that belong to the European Union produce more food than any other country in the world and are the world’s largest trader in agri-food crops, they cannot be ignored. As long as they are unwilling to fully use the technology, biotechnology companies and farmers around the world will face challenges in profiting from the new technology. I have recently returned from Brussels, the home of the key government structures of the EU. I was a participant in a Canadian government advocacy event co-ordinated through the European Parliament. A panel of Canadian regulators, a farmer and me, an academic, were invited to talk about the regulatory, scientific, economic and environmental effects of GM crops in Canada. I was surprised at the changes in attitude and structure in Brussels. In the late 1980s, the European government footprint in Brussels was modest. Twenty-three years later, Brussels is clearly at the epicentre of a much more expansive and aggressive European government. EU policy about GM crops is of vital interest to many reading this, but it would be hard to see that it is on the top of the agenda in Brussels. Our audience was relatively small, but intently interested in what we had to
Europe would be more accepting of genetically modified crops if their environmental advantages were promoted. | FILE PHOTO say. The chair, a Scottish member of the European parliament, immediately bemoaned the absence of any effective dialogue about GM crops in the EU. We thought the best part of Canada’s story is that GM crops, especially the herbicide tolerant canola varieties that Canada had a major part in developing, have proven the efficacy of our regulatory system and generated real and measurable economic returns for innovators, farmers and consumers.
However, our audience really perked up only when we talked about the environmental effects. There is strong evidence, both at the farm level and in the context of recent regional studies, that GM canola has been good for the environment. Herbicides used on GM canola incorporate fewer active ingredients, are less toxic than those used for conventional canola, require fewer applications and are less pervasive in the environment, all which benefit
farmers, consumers and the broader ecology. Probably as important, GM canola has contributed to a dramatic change in farm practices. More than 75 percent of producers now use conservation tillage practices, which preserve organic matter in the soil, conser ve moisture, reduce erosion and — most intriguing for our audience — sequestered more than one million tonnes of carbon annually in 2005-07. The International Panel on Climate Change estimates that crop production contributes up to 12 percent of anthropomorphic carbon dioxide, which is one of the major contributors to climate change. The Europeans were particularly excited that the technology could address this important EU issue. The lure of more and cheaper food and more profitable farming generated little or no interest. The consensus of those at the meeting was that only the environmental evidence has any chance of shifting public opinion and eliminating regulatory roadblocks in the EU. Perhaps it is time to rebrand GM crops as green alternatives to conventional technologies. With the right evidence and the right presentation, it might just be possible to bring the EU into the fold, as full-fledged developers, adaptors, adopters and consumers of GM food.

Canola’s success big headache for other crops HURSH ON AG

T
he success of canola is having ripple effects throughout the western Canadian grain industry. As producers, we often complain about the exorbitant price of canola seed. Farm-saved seed still dominates in most other crops, but with canola you need to buy seed each year. At $10 to $12 a pound, or $50 to $60 an acre, it’s a significant cost. While we complain, we buy it anyway because canola has the best profitability potential of any major crop. The new hybrid varieties are delivering improved yields over a wide range of conditions. As well, weed control is a snap because of the
various herbicide tolerance systems. Old crop prices have been higher than $14 a bushel and new crop has been in the $12.50 range. Domestic crushers are competing against the export market for supply. This spring, canola acres will increase in both traditional and nontraditional growing regions. The crop will dominate the landscape like never before. It’s clear that prairie acreage will set a new record, with analysts anticipating 20 to 22 million acres. By the time this is published, the April 24 seeding intentions report from Statistics Canada will be out. The burgeoning canola acreage is coming at the expense of other crops. This is particularly true with flaxseed. Canada has all but lost its major flax market because of minute contamination with the GM variety Triffid.

I attended the CWB meeting in Ohaton, Alta., along with about 150 other farmers, to hear about the changing landscape of grain marketing and the CWB without the single desk. I knew real farmers were there because the street was lined with half tons. The first presentation was a sugarcoated package by CWB employee Gord Flaten about how wonderful it was that (prime minister Stephen) Harper and (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz are paying off the lakers cost and the severance costs of fired CWB employees.
He neglected to tell the farmers that our own money earned from grain sales and put into our contingency fund was paying for this. He went on to say this new grain agency or company, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conservative Wheat Boardâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Con Board â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be a functioning company on Aug. 1, 2012. The new Con Board will be keeping the office building in Winnipeg, 1,700 or so hopper cars, the lakers and a scaled down staff. Flaten went on to explain the grain marketing programs of the new Con Board. On the question of where the profits will go on grain sales outside the pools, Flaten dropped a bombshell when he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it will go the government.â&#x20AC;?
There was a rumble of disgust and annoyance across the room when farmers heard that the Harper and Ritz government will use the profits from farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grain to do as they please. Flaten responded by saying farmers needed to think long term, the next four years, about what they want to see happen with the Con Board. He said farmers could buy it back, that we needed to talk to our MPs, and other farmers, and act or it will be sold off. Why would farmers want to support the Con Board for the next four years to sustain assets we once owned? Why play that game when Harper and Ritz hold all the cards in their stacked deck?
We advance our technology so you can keep going up to 6,000 hours

As I see it there are two options. The court has ruled Ritz broke the rule of law, so they must enforce that ruling and give us back our wheat board, or sell all the assets and pay it out to western Canadian farmers. Dale Fankhanel, New Norway, Alta.
WATER SCARCITY To the Editor: The Canadian Geographic magazine of October 2010 indicated that the risk of desertification, already present in southern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta, will expand by 2050 to cover most of the Prairies. If this risk materializes in any significant way, the level of economic loss and human relocation will be enormous. There is no question, and make no mistake, water will be scarce. Everyone living in the entire prairie region will be impacted and there will be national and international repercussions. The entire subject, countering (mitigating) increasing water scarcity, requires a reasonable understanding of surface and ground water systems, the necessary changes in land use, and the role that governments have to play to put into place a comprehensive and workable strategy. All of this cannot be adequately covered in a short letter to the editor. A CD (or a hard copy) is available at a nominal cost through OZ Media in Whitecourt, Alta. (780-778-3949). It contains assertions that mitigation is necessary and possible suggestions of the governmental alignment changes required, and a listing of the minimum changes in land use. It is hoped that this overall effort will foster a dialogue leading to the direct confrontation of the realities of increasing water scarcity. The prairie region, given our favourable latitude, has the capacity to remain viable over the period required by the peoples of the world to get their act together in order to start lowering the CO2 percentage in our atmosphere. Mitigation is doable. Do we have the courage? Alex Bauer, Whitecourt, Alta.

The following is with reference to the article, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Expert refutes recent research into grain dryingâ&#x20AC;? (WP March 8, page 5). The Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF) ran tests on wet grain being dried in the bins. They concluded that it would be more efficient to run the fans only at night than to run the fans 24 hours per day. Ron Palmer, a retired U of R professor (an electrical engineer) reviewed the research and agreed with IHARF. All of the results used were obtained only when the fans were running 24 hours per day. These claims by both IHARF and
OPINION Ron Palmer are completely irrelevant when it concerns the aeration drying of grain. A similar effect, of leaving the fan off during the day, would be to omit the fertilizing of the crop. The result of less grain to harvest in the fall isn’t immediate, yet farmers know it will occur. Heat from the sun increases the grain temperature during the day. When the air temperature is less than the grain temperature at night, the grain cools and sweats, removing moisture at a faster rate than during the day. The next day the heating and cooling cycle begins again, starting with reheating the grain, via heat supplied by the sun. Farmers have known for decades that the temperature of dry grain, which has been harvested on hot days, will cool down by running the fans only at night.
Theoretically, the aeration drying of 100 tonnes of grain from 17 percent to 14 percent moisture content requires the removal of 3.5 tonnes of water. On page 47 of the March 15 WP, Mr. (Imre) Varro explains the disasters that will occur if the fans are turned off periodically, after wet grain has started to dry. His information is based on several studies and more than 20 years of feedback by farmers. Seek and ye shall find. Fred G. Willis, Saltcoats, Sask.
FARMERS’ RIGHTS? To the Editor: In a recent web posting someone wrote the following, “No, they do
care, but ... unlike the NDP and Liberals, the Conservatives care about prairie farmers rights ... their simple basic rights to market their own grain (wheat and barley) with a choice, in the same way we have marketed all the other crops we grow.” Although everyone is entitled to their opinion, it is hard to read the above without laughing. If the Conservatives actually cared about farmers’ rights, they would have allowed farmers to vote on the future of the CWB, since above all, farmers pay all the operating costs of the CWB. If the Conservatives actually cared about farmers’ rights, they would have respected the farmer elected directors who were running the CWB. Instead, they threw them out and appointed “monkeys” to follow the government’s wishes. If the Conservatives actually cared about farmers’ rights, they would not
THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | APRIL 26, 2012
have interfered in the farmer CWB director elections by using taxpayers’ dollars to solicit support for their dual market candidates. Where is that dual market now? If the Conservatives actually cared about farmers’ rights, they would not have confiscated farmers’ assets — assets the farmers paid for in the CWB such as the hopper cars, the laker vessels, the building in Winnipeg and the contingency fund, all hard assets worth well over $400 million. And still they have the gall to say they may sell it back to the farmers or someone else. It is sad that people are still being political about this issue to the point where the stealing of money is wrapped in political jargon and ideology. The only choice farmers have now is to sell to the transnational grain companies and all visions of farmers
having any control in their industry are all gone now. Thanks for the choice. George Hickie, Waldron, Sask.

ometimes it feels as if the whole earth is shaking beneath our feet, and we don’t know where to turn. When the shaking comes back again and again, stress and fear rise up and our footsteps falter. In the agricultural industry, age-old institutions like the Canadian Wheat Board and former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool (Viterra) tumble like houses of dominos. Wherever we may stand politically, we are touched by the loss. In the world of politics, whether it be the incivilities hurled at each other during political campaigns or the slashes and hidden agendas that encompass the release of the federal budget, we wonder if anyone has ever heard of government being for the people and by the people. With change the goal posts keep moving, and we don’t know whether we can keep up, or if we even want to. Stress and uncertainty cloud our thinking. Is there anything we can say? Is there anything we can do? We get advice from many sources. Some tell us what’s happening is not about decay, but about a ripening. What we are feeling may be the birth pains as new life bursts forth. When I fear I’m getting old and can’t make all those adjustments, I need to see again the motto hanging on the wall of an aging colleague: “We need individuals who will make rules for themselves — not follow someone else’s mould.” I think that regardless of how it comes down, we need to find a way to put ourselves into God’s hands, find our ways to “hang loose” and keep watch for the glimmers of hope. The saying on the plumber’s van sums it up best. “A laugh is as good as a flush.” God made this world, he made us, and he doesn’t make junk.

Pastures will likely return to provinces
Producers, industry must find ways to fill void from research cuts
Grazing, breeding services | Federal community pastures will operate this year BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU
All 85 federal community pastures will be open this year as Ottawa begins to turn the land back, in most cases, to the provinces. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the federal government would begin to divest itself of the pastures next year. “No pastures will be affected this grazing season and we will work in collaboration with our provincial partners and with all stakeholders to make sure the transition away from federally operated pastures is as smooth as possible for producers,” Ritz said in a news release. Ten pastures will go next year, and all of them by 2018. The government said that grazing and breeding services will be offered on the operating pastures throughout the transition. Patrons will receive as much notice as possible when the pastures they use are to be affected. Saskatchewan agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said he expects five of the 60 pastures in the province to be affected next year, along with five in Manitoba. He hasn’t said what the province will do with more than 1.3 million acres of pasture land on top of the 52 pastures it operates on its own.
Beware the pirate of the prairies
They recognize the value of the native grassland and I’m sure that it would be preserved. LORNE SCOTT NATURE SASKATCHEWAN
However, he told the legislature that the province will work with patrons to make the transition as smooth as possible and to find ways for them to either own or lease the land. “I think for many of the producers out there, the thing is that they want to be involved in the process and have the opportunity to continue to utilize this land while at the same time increasing the number of cattle that we raise in this province,” he said. Lorne Scott, conservation director for Nature Saskatchewan, said about 10 percent of native prairie in the province is within the federal pastures. Good grass management practices have created ideal habitat for birds, wildlife and species at risk. Scott said it would be “a significant blow” if the pastures were to be sold for development, cultivation

or hunt farms. He said current patrons would likely be the best stewards of the land. “They recognize the value of the native grassland and I’m sure that it would be preserved,” he said. “We in the conservation community would be most willing to work and co-operate with the patrons and agriculture industry to assist. We have no desire to see the cattle removed.” Agriculture Canada, when contacted for an interview, sent an e-mail response stating Saskatchewan and Manitoba, home to 84 pastures, have mandates to conserve public land. The national defence department owns the single pasture in Alberta. “(They) are well equipped to make appropriate management decisions regarding the social, economic and environmental values of these lands,” said the e-mail response. Some of the land within the pastures is already designed as critical habitat under the species at risk legislation. These designations remain in effect when the lands transfer to the provinces. Other possibilities for the pastures include selling them to municipalities or private interests. As well, Ottawa could sell the land with conservation easements attached, or some other formal agreement to preserve the native grass.

The Western Grains Research Foundation isn’t thrilled with federal funding cuts to wheat research, but the foundation is willing to adapt, said Dave Sefton, WGRF chair. “Now is the time for producers and industry to find ways to increase cereal research investments to levels competitive with other crops and other countries,” said Sefton, who farms near Broadview, Sask. “Of course, we are supportive of more m o n e y b e i n g s p e nt (o n w h e at research) than less, but we have to work with the hand that we are dealt.” Following the March 29 federal budget, Agriculture Canada announced in April it would close the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg by April 2014, cutting 41 research jobs and moving about 60 scientists to Agriculture Canada research centres in Morden and Brandon, Man. Wheat breeders at the Cereal Research Centre have helped develop some of the most popular spring wheat varieties on the Prairies, including Harvest, Unity, Superb and Kane. Groups like the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance, a CWB advocacy group, condemned the federal government’s decision to close the centre. “These are the first steps towards privatizing plant breeding and end-
ing the historic partnership between farmers, scientists and the federal government,” said Alliance chair Bill Gehl, adding the government cutbacks open the door for private industry to push genetically modified wheat into Canada. Using more moderate language, the WGRF said Agriculture Canada’s long-term plan is to focus on wheat germplasm development, not wheat variety development. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz clarified the government is “reducing” its commitment to variety development. “We will continue to do variety research and develop germplasm while reducing our variety finishing and final stages of commercialization,” he said in an e-mail. “The government is creating a regulatory climate that allows for timely and competitive research and development for the benefit of farmers.” Since Agriculture Canada is backing away from its traditional role in wheat varietal development, the WGRF is fleshing out plans to fill the void, Sefton said. “From the perspective of Western Grains, we are working with the Alberta Seed Growers and a group of western Canadian farmers to look at an alternative method of delivering varieties,” he said, noting a possible solution could incorporate public, private and producer interests.

GRAIN HANDLING | TAKEOVERS
Paterson not for sale, says president Post-Viterra takeover | Paterson children are learning the ropes of the family operation. President writes customers to reassure them BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
International grain companies looking to gain a foothold in Western Canada can stop knocking on one door. “We’re not for sale,” said Andrew Paterson, president and sole owner of Paterson GlobalFoods. Nearly every player in the grain industry has approached Paterson at some point inquiring if his company is for sale and the answer is always the same — not at any price. “I have my children here learning the ropes and money is not everything. We have a tradition to continue within the company and we’re very financially sound and it will continue to be run by the Paterson family.” In the wake of Glencore International’s $6.1 billion takeover bid for Viterra, Paterson felt obliged to write a letter to his customers assuring them his company wouldn’t be the next one to change hands. The Viterra takeover set tongues wagging about who would be the next target but Paterson thinks the industry consolidation is done despite continued interest from foreign companies.

Bunge has publicly expressed a desire to enter the western Canadian grain handling business under an open market. Archer Daniels Midland continues to eye North American acquisitions after backing away from the Viterra deal over concerns that it would not meet the company’s investment return objectives. But it’s going to be difficult to find any asset with a for sale sign. “I can’t see anybody selling that is left. Cargill is not going to go anywhere. Richardson is a buyer. I can’t speak for P&H (Parrish and Heimbecker Ltd.) but they’re in the same kind of boat that we are,” said Paterson. It is possible that one of the farmerowned terminals might sell but he said most of them are “fairly comfortable” with where they’re at. So any new entrant into the market
must be prepared to build grain terminals and that is a serious longterm investment. Paterson hasn’t heard any of that kind of talk. He believes the proposed takeover of Viterra by Glencore will be a good development for his company because he anticipates Glencore will have tighter control on its costs. “Some of the market moves that were taking place when (Viterra) owned it will be less. (Glencore) is a more disciplined player,” he said. In the meantime, Paterson GlobalFoods continues to expand its presence on the Prairies, spending about $100 million on capital projects over the last 14 months. The company is preparing to load its first 130-car unit train at its brand new facility in Gleichen, Alta., it’s ninth inland grain terminal. “We have expansion plans at two other facilities with another 40,000 tonnes of storage going up,” said Paterson. None of those new assets will end up in the hands of anybody with a last name other than his. “We’ve been earning our customers’ trust for over 104 years, so we’re not going to let them down now or in the future,” said Paterson.

Provincial and territorial agricultural councils that have been delivering federal program money for more than a decade will lose that function March 31, 2014. The news was delivered in a conference call April 11 between Agriculture Canada officials and executive directors of the 13 regional councils. “The notice we were given is that there will be no role for a provincial or territorial council to be delivering programs,” said Heather Broughton, chair of the Agriculture and Food Council of Alberta. “They would be centralizing and consolidating. To have a decision made with no explanation behind it is frustrating. We think it is wrong.” Councils and their farm supporters are calling on the federal government to reverse the decision. Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Mark Wales said it’s wrong to centralize money distribution decisions in a country as large and diverse as Canada. Provincial councils receive advice on what programs to fund from a volunteer board of agricultural representatives. Industry typically adds private sector funding to supplement federal spending. The councils aren’t involved in business risk management funds. “The OFA stands with all Ontario agri-food organizations in expressing our disappointment and in
requesting the federal government reverse this decision,” Wales said in a statement. Council representatives across the Prairies also protested the decision. However, federal minister Gerry Ritz showed no sign of retreat during an April 20 news conference after a federal-provincial agriculture ministers’ meeting in Gatineau, Que.. He said it is a federal attempt to cut costs to fight the deficit. “What we’re doing with a lot of our deficit action plan is looking at different ways to administer, looking at more effective, efficient ways to deliver the programs without the cost of administration,” he said. In recent years, one of the main roles of the provincial councils has been to administer the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program, a five-year federal program set to expire March 31, 2014. Ritz said the program will be reviewed close to its scheduled expiry date. Broughton, who has chaired conference calls among council leaders trying to deal with the news, said the message from Ottawa is that even if CAAP is extended, it will not be delivered through the provincial councils. “That is really unfortunate,” she said. “The boards in each province are boards of people on the ground in the industry. They have the ability and knowledge to assess what the needs are in their province and the projects are funded accordingly.”

HOW IS A CROP VARIETY REGISTERED IN CANADA?
VARIETY REGISTRATION | PROCESS
Variety registration future debated CWB changes prompt reform call | Scientists argue CWB played little role in registration process BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU
WINNIPEG — Now that the CWB’s monopoly is set to disappear Aug. 1, some producers want to transform another grain industry institution they see as cumbersome — the variety registration system. However, Br ian Rossnagel, a prominent barley and oat breeder in Western Canada, says farmers should realize the CWB and Canada’s variety registration system are not joined at the hip. “This (variety registration) has nothing to do with the single desk,” said Rossnagel, who took part in a panel discussion on variety registration at the Canada Grains Council’s annual meeting in Winnipeg April 17. The board and wheat variety registration haven’t been strongly connected for 20 years, he added. “With regard to wheat varieties in the past, even as late as the 1980s, they (CWB) were a very dominant player in the system,” he said, referring to the committees that decide the fate of prospective cultivars. “But by 1995, they (the CWB) were the same number and they represented a small piece of the group…. So their influence had dramatically changed.” Rossnagel, who is professor emeritus at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, also pointed to other crops. “There’s variety registration for oats, canola and special crops … which the Canadian Wheat Board has never, I shouldn’t say never in the case of oats, but everything else has never been part of (the CWB).” However, Cherilyn Nagel, pastpresident of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said the end of the single desk presents an

opportunity to reform the variety registration system. Nagel, who also participated in the panel discussion, said she doesn’t have patience for a system that can take more than 12 years to develop and register a new crop variety. “I do think, the variety registration system, it’s a good time to make this change now that we have a deregulated wheat market,” said Nagel, who grows wheat and other crops on 10,000 acres near Mossbank, Sask. “The Canadian Wheat Board had a lot to do with the registration process in the past. Good or bad, they were involved.” Nagel said it’s obvious the registration system isn’t working for wheat because yields in Western Canada are increasing at a paltry 0.7 percent annually. She said producers need access to a wide array of varieties so that they can grow wheat suited for local soil conditions or produce wheat for a particular segment of the marketplace. “I want to have the opportunity to grow (wheat) for other end-use products,” she said. “I want the opportunity to grow a medium quality wheat… especially a higher yielding variety.” Dave Hatcher, program manager for the Canadian Grain Commission’s research laboratory, defended the variety registration system, noting it delivers higher yielding, midgrade varieties.

For instance, several varieties of Canada Prairie Spring, a medium protein, high yielding class, have been registered in recent years. “Over the last five years we have developed and had registered … some absolutely fantastic CPS reds that have yield advantages over CWRS of 20 percent,” he said. Hatcher said the registration system has become a highly democratic institution over the last two decades. Members of the variety recommending committees represent a broad swath of Canada’s grain industry — plant breeders, provincial agronomists, university scientists, seed growers, grain handlers and producer groups — who evaluate the agronomic, disease and quality characteristics of candidate cultivars. “It is not a group of scientists … as it was many years back,” he said. “It has become … very, very open.” Rossnagel said it was different when he started in plant breeding. “In 1975, the first year I attended the (committee) meetings, I was told to go to the back of the room and sit down and shut up,” he said. “It was very autocratic. It is no longer autocratic, it is democratic.” Terry James, vice-president of export marketing for Richardson International, said it’s too early to modify variety registration, given the recent radical changes to Canada’s grain system.

Dry ground makes for happy hoofs Horses dislike mud | Taking steps to improve drainage and provide dry eating areas can prevent bacterial and fungal infections BY WENDY DUDLEY FREELANCE WRITER
Horse instructor Tovie Van Nes suggests gravel to improve drainage in paddocks. | WENDY DUDLEY PHOTOS
Producers may be grateful when much-need moisture drenches their land but it means horse owners must contend with boggy gateways and paddocks. Hoofing about in muck is not only unsightly and potentially unsafe, but can also pose health issues, said Tovie Van Nes, who teaches horse health and behaviour at her stable near DeWinton, Alta. “Our solution was to haul in 70 tonnes of gravel and spread it very thickly in our shelters and loafing areas,” said Van Nes. Keeping hoofs and the lower legs dry is worth the battle against poor footing and potential bacterial and fungal infections such as thrush, rain scalds and abscesses, she said. Crushed rock no larger than 3/4 inch is best, with a layer of at least three inches. “Pea gravel is absolutely perfect for all horses to walk on, no matter what the condition of their feet, and does wonders to help develop healthy bare feet,” said Van Nes. “The larger gravel can make horses with thrush, thin soles and laminitis ouchie, so if using larger stones, I would introduce it in small patches
around a gate, or a patch near the waterer or shelter to help develop tough soles gradually. “If one plans to gravel large areas, consideration should be made for paths through it or around it so that horses can avoid it if they are sensitive for any reason.” Choose stones that are not so small they will become embedded in the laminae, but don’t select a size that is so large the horses are tipping over on it, said farrier Steve Bennett of Blackie, Alta. He said hoofs should be regularly checked for wedged stones, whether the horse is barefoot or shod. Gravel can also help pop out mud and debris that is compacted in the hoofs, said Bennett. “If you’ve been riding through the bush, and then cross creeks, the gravel bars can help pull out the mud.” Soft hoofs from standing in water or mud are vulnerable to health issues. “The hoof will be more prone to bruising, which can easily turn into an abscess, and if the horse is shod, the mud can pull the shoes off. Soft feet will spread, going over the sides of the shoes, which then loosens the shoe,” Bennett said. Compacted mud and manure that is not cleaned out can also lead to

Trying to keep equine hoofs dry during spring thaw and runoff can be difficult. Paddock areas like this could have better drainage by increasing the run-off slope and laying down gravel. | WENDY DUDLEY PHOTOS ing areas because it can cause sand colic if ingested. Landscaping can also help prevent water from pooling. Pastures and paddocks should be sloped four to seven degrees, said Adam Vanderwoude, a landscape architectural technologist with Scope Projects Inc. of Bragg Creek, Alta. A thicker depth of topsoil, as well as shrubs, should be placed around loafing areas to help filter and absorb runoff. Subsurface work, such as laying down geosynthetic filter fabric and covering it with the footing surface, can fix areas that are heavy, muddy clay. The fabric keeps the soil from working its way up to the footing material. Interlocking grid systems can help reduce erosion in areas of high traffic, such as riding arenas. Once laid, the pockets can be filled with surface material, such as gravel, soil and seed. The grid aids drainage and keeps the surface intact, Vanderwoude said.  Offering a place for horses to stand out of the mud, such as a barn or three-sided shelter, is another way to keep their hoofs high and dry. Even a raised area outdoors offers relief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how the horses will choose to stand on platforms. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like standing in the mud,â&#x20AC;? Bennett said. An outfitter he once worked for built the platforms where the horses were fed. Building large composting mounds where horses can stand above soggy ground also works well. If possible, keep horses off wet pastures because they can quickly churn up the sod into mire. Rotate them onto higher ground until the wetter fields have dried out. To keep water from entering paddocks, make sure buildings have rain gutters and downspouts that direct water away from confinement areas. As for those extra mushy areas around gateways, water troughs and barn entrances, heavy rubber mats provide dry footing. Make sure they are heavy enough not to blow away in the wind. The mats also come in handy for outdoor work such as grooming and hoof care.

Syngenta profits fall short of expectations ZURICH, Switzerland (Reuters) — Syngenta has posted a smallerthan-expected rise in quarterly sales as the impact of a drought in Latin America offset the benefits from bumper seed sales and an early start to the planting season. The Swiss company said firstquarter sales rose seven percent to $4.3 billion US, compared with a forecast for $4.34 billion in a Reuters poll. Syngenta shares, which have risen more than 17 percent this year, were down 2.4 percent, underperforming a 0.7 percent weaker European chemicals sector index because
sales missed market expectations, Notenstein analysts said. Rising prices for wheat, corn and soybean have encouraged farmers to buy more farm inputs products from Syngenta, as well as rivals Dow and Monsanto. PESTICIDES
Coalition wants chemical probe (Reuters) — A coalition of more than 2,000 U.S. farmers and food companies have vowed to start legal action to force American government regulators to analyze potential problems with proposed biotech crops and the weed-killing chemicals to be sprayed over them. Dow AgroSciences and Monsanto are among global chemical and
seed companies racing to roll out combinations of genetically modified crops and new herbicides designed to work with the crops as a way to counter spreading herbicideresistant weeds. Dow and Monsanto say the new chemical combinations and new crops that tolerate those chemicals are needed as weeds grow increasingly resistant to treatments of the most commonly used herbicide, glyphosate-based Roundup. “They (farmers) need this new technology,” said Dow AgroScience Joe Vertin, global business leader for Dow’s new herbicide-protected crops, called Enlist. But critics say key ingredients in these new herbicides, 2,4-D for Dow and dicamba for Monsanto, already are in use in the marketplace and have proved damaging to “nontarget” fields because they are hard
to keep on target. Wind, heat and humidity can move the chemical particles, damaging gardens, crops and trees. MARKETS

“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.

RESEARCH | BEES
Pesticide link to colony collapse called overblown Study results | Research suggesting neonicotinoid pesticide kills bees isn’t a surprise, but an entomologist says varroa mite is the main cause BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU
Recently published papers that have drawn a direct link between insecticides and declining bee populations don’t apply to Canadian bees, say scientists in Ontario and British Columbia. Studies released in the last four weeks based on research in France, Britain and Harvard University determined that a popular insecticide is killing bees. The studies concluded that neonicotinoids interfere with bees’ homing skills, hampers the insect’s ability to reproduce and may be a primary factor behind colony collapse disorder. Neonicotinoids are used for insecticidal seed treatments and sprayed on crops. Imidacloprid, a Bayer Crop Science neonicotinoid, is registered for use on more than 140 crops in 120 countries. The studies have led to sensational headlines in prominent media outlets, but Ernesto Guzman, a University of Guelph entomology professor, said scientists and the public shouldn’t be shocked. “Would they (scientists) expect to find a different outcome? If you’re putting a poison in a syrup that you feed the bees with, would you expect something different?” said Guzman, head of the Guelph Honey Bee Research Centre. “If finding that a pesticide kills bees, it (may be) new and surprising to some, it’s not to me. That’s what pesticides were designed for, to kill insects.” Guzman said most entomologists agree that insecticides are partially, but not completely responsible, for bee losses. “The only thing we, bee scientists, agree upon is that this is a multi-factor problem. It’s not a single cause,” he said. “What we don’t agree upon is the relative weight of each factor. To us, in Canada, factor number one is varroa (mites).” Canadian bee colonies have been dying off at rates of 30 to 40 percent since about 2006, which is much higher than the historical over-wintering losses of 15 per cent. Leonard Foster, a bee expert and biochemistry professor at the University of British Columbia, said the culprits are varroa mites, the viruses transmitted to bees from the mites, the nosegay fungus and poor bee management. He said insecticides seldom harm bees in the natural environment because they don’t encounter insecticide concentrations high enough to cause damage. There have been a few cases where bees were accidentally exposed and killed by concentrated doses of pesticides, but he said the media response to the British, French and Harvard studies has been excessive. “I’d say it’s very much overblown,” he said. “In most cases, in the natural environment, where bees are flying around, they very rarely are going to encounter levels of those insecticides to get those effects that people are seeing in labs.”
According to studies at his lab in Guelph, the varroa mite was the principle cause of bee colony losses, followed by weak colony population going into the winter. Insufficient bee feeding was the number three cause. More bee colonies will survive in Canada if beekeepers can find a way to manage those factors, Guzman said. Ambient pesticide exposure is well down the list of factors, or possibly even a non-factor, he added.
However, Guzman said neonicotinoids might be killing bees in other countries. “Maybe it’s different in other parts of the world. I’m sure that where they spray lots of pesticides, the ranking (significance) of pesticides would be much higher than here.” However, a neonicotinoid ban isn’t going to save Canadian bees, Guzman said. “My sense is that we will need to find local solutions … or at least, regional solutions.”
Pesticide concentrations are rarely high enough to cause damage to bees, says a Canadian entomology professor. | FILE PHOTO

Manitoba farmland is covered by a sea of regulations about drainage and manure management but is also plagued by a drought of Manitobabased research, says an expert in soil science. “There are misconceptions all around about how phosphorus gets from soil into Lake Winnipeg,” Steve Sheppard said in a panel discussion during the Manitoba Pork Council’s annual meeting. “A large amount of the research
done on the problem of phosphorus leaving soils and going into lakes is from areas where the landscape is not flat.” Manitoba hog farmers are struggling with many layers of regulatory control on their operations that dictate many elements of production and management, but those controls are based mostly on out-of-province research that Sheppard said “is not relevant to Manitoba.” Water issues have gigantic political impact in Manitoba: large-scale flooding has hit the province repeatedly in recent decades, hundreds of
millions of dollars have been spent on the Red River floodway that protects Winnipeg, and the ailing quality of Lake Winnipeg’s water has been one of the hottest topics in the province for years. Algal blooms have become alarming large in recent years. A continuing blame game has seen urban residents blaming farmers for phosphorus and nitrogen loading of river water that ends up in the lake, while others blame the city of Winnipeg for repeated sewage spills. Some researchers say the main
cause of nutrient loading in river and lake water has been the string of wet years and floods that have caused much water to pour off of farmland. The hog industry has been targeted by some activists as a particular cause of the lake’s problems, and the provincial government has specifically focused on restricting the hog industry’s ability to spread manure and build new operations as a way to protect Lake Winnipeg’s water quality. The hog industry argues the focus on it is unfair because it produces a

tiny minority of the phosphorus going into the lake and there is little or no evidence that it is a particular cause of the problems. Hog farmers are restricted in how much manure they can apply to farmland, when they can apply it and how they can apply it. Voluntary and mandatory measures have been implemented over the years to control the flow of phosphorus from farmland into waterways, but Sheppard said much of it has likely been ineffective. He said vegetated buffer strips along the sides of fields that border streams and rivers might not work in most of Manitoba because strips filter out phosphorus contained in solid materials carried along by fastflowing water. In most of flat Manitoba, nutrients are carried in a dissolved form, which aren’t filtered out by the buffer strips. Water quality experts argue that excessive drainage of farmland and the eradication of wetlands are the chief culprits for Lake Winnipeg’s nutrient loading. Some have argued that reestablishing wetlands and holding back more spring flood waters in rural areas could be key components in improving the Lake Winnipeg situation. Others have cautioned that holding back water on farmland allows plant-based phosphorus to break down and be absorbed by the water, which means phosphorus levels would be higher when it eventually drains. The Manitoba Water Council, a government-supported industrycommunity-researcher organization, recently held a summit on the concept of retaining more water in rural and farming areas. It was the official kickoff for formulating a surface water management policy approach that could address the multiple and complex issues that affect farmland, water flow, drainage and lake water quality in the province. Farm groups become anxious whenever water quality becomes an issue in Manitoba because many expect to see farmers blamed for problems. With more than half the province living in Winnipeg, and the present provincial government heavily dominated by Winnipeg ML As, farmers often feel they become easy targets. While the hog industry was specifically targeted in the Save Lake Winnipeg Act, other farm, business and industry groups rallied to the pork industry’s defence, seeing a “thin edge of the wedge” appearing. With more than 70 percent of phosphorus used by Manitoba farmers coming from commercial crop fertilizer, and the cattle industry producing far more than the hog industry, any expansion of phosphorus restrictions could hit a much bigger population of farmers, according to Keystone Agricultural Producers. The Manitoba Water Council includes groups like KAP and the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, which are broadly based, so many hope that its work will be based on solid, Manitoba-based research rather than on assumptions that might not be correct.

CWB | NEGOTIATIONS
Time running out for CWB to negotiate grain handling Negotiations underway | Farmers, CWB and grain companies look for completion of commercial agreements soon STORIES BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM
The CWB’s complex task of negotiating commercial grain handling agreements with elevator companies is progressing as expected, according to senior managers with the marketing agency. However, the clock is ticking and the CWB will need to conclude more agreements within the next couple of months. “We’ve been at this for about three months now, which might seem like a long time but it’s actually a pretty short
time to be organizing something that’s relatively complex,” said CWB chief executive officer Ian White. “I suppose it’s taking about the time that we thought it would take, but there’s no doubt that as we move into the next couple of months, farmers and ourselves and the grain companies will all want to have these completed.” As of April 18, the CWB had concluded handling agreements with Cargill and the South West Terminal (SWT) near Swift Current, Sask. Cargill has 31 primary elevators in Western Canada: nine in Manitoba, 12 in Saskatchewan and 10 in Alber-
ta. It also owns grain export terminals in Thunder Bay and Vancouver. SWT’s elevator at Antelope, Sask., has storage capacity of 52,000 tonnes and is located on the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Maple Creek Line, one of two CPR main lines that carries freight out of Saskatchewan toward the West Coast. CWB officials have acknowledged that Glencore’s proposed takeover of Viterra has thrown a new twist into the negotiation process. However, the company is still confident commercial agreements will be reached with Viterra and other major
grain handlers before Aug. 1. “The Viterra sale and associated timing issues have obviously added additional factors to our discussions with all companies,” said C WB spokesperson Maureen Fitzhenry. “However, we are getting very positive indications and remain confident of reaching handling agreements with most, if not all, grain companies, which will give farmers the biggest possible range of delivery points and opportunities when they choose CWB contracts.” Fitzhenry said farmer interest in CWB contracts has been strong.
Growers are interested in committing at least part of their production to CWB pools, but most are awaiting confirmation of additional delivery points before signing contracts, she added. White suggested that CWB pools could handle as much as one-third of wheat and barley produced in Western Canada in the 2012-13 crop year. “Farmers will determine what they want to do, but we think that as part of their risk management, to put onethird or more of their grain into a pool would be a very good idea,” he told reporters at a Canada Grains Council conference in Winnipeg.
CWB | STAFF CUTS
Cuts continue for CWB CWB staff down to 318 from 430 in 2011 Staffing levels at the CWB are likely to fall to fewer than 100 employees by the time the new organization has been fully downsized. CWB officials said last week that staff numbers at the grain marketing agency have already been reduced to 318 people through a combination of layoffs and voluntary departures. Twelve months ago, the CWB had about 430 employees on its payroll. “As you know, we’re in the process of restructuring the organization to match the new role and the new scope and we … will be a significantly smaller company,” said media relations manager Maureen Fitzhenry. “That downsizing is going to continue.” The CWB has issued layoff notices to about 70 people since the federal government passed Bill C-18 late last year. Roughly 40 others have left voluntarily. The CWB did not provide details about severance costs, buy-outs, early retirement packages or other forms of employee compensation. So far, layoff notices have been limited to Winnipeg employees. The company will keep its foreign sales offices in Beijing and Tokyo. It is still unclear how CWB operations outside of Winnipeg will be affected, including a recently-opened grain quality lab in Saskatoon. Fitzhenry said additional layoffs notices will be issued throughout the summer. The CWB is planning to enter the 2012-13 crop as a leaner, more efficient operation. “(When) we talk about restructuring the organization at this point, we’re talking about restructuring it to hit the ground running on Aug. 1,” she said. The company will continue to adjust staff numbers after Aug. 1 as its role in Western Canada’s new grain marketing environment becomes clearer. The agency could have as few as 80 or 90 employees by the time the CWB is preparing to be commercialized in 2017, CWB officials suggested last week.

RETURN OF THE GREAT WHITES
FOOD SECURITY | FOREIGN OWNED FARMLAND
China urged to buy farmland overseas to meet food needs Consumption exceeds supply | China became a net importer of corn, rice and wheat for the first time last year BEIJING, China (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; China has been urged to expand its overseas farming to ensure enough food for its people because of limited land and low productivity at home. Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm trade deficit will continue to widen to $40 billion in 2012, following an increase of nearly 50 percent in 2011 to $34.12 billion, according to an estimate by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences think-tank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While largely relying on domestic supplies for agriculture products, we should also fully utilize the international market,â&#x20AC;? said Zhu Gang, a researcher with the academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rural Research Institute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should actively explore overseas resources by combining imports and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go overseasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to ensure stable supplies of agriculture products,â&#x20AC;? said Zhu. Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per capita farmland is less than 40 percent of the global average, and water resources are at a quarter. It has no comparative advantages in farming, the academy said. It said some Asian and African countries have vast areas of uncultivated land, and investment in farming there by Chinese companies should boost global food supplies, which would also mean stable supplies for China. About 40 Chinese companies are involved in overseas farming in more than 30 countries, with investment totaling $2.43 billion. China has had good harvests over the past eight years, but production increases have not kept pace with higher consumption at a time of rapid urbanization and industrialization. China became a net importer of corn, rice and wheat for the first time last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supplies of agriculture products are tightening; despite years of bumper harvests, growth of demand has shown no sign of a slowdown,â&#x20AC;? said Guo Wei, head of the rural department of the State Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research office. Guo said farmers in some areas have given up rice farming and moved to cities to find work. As well, strong demand from livestock producers and processors have led to tighter corn supplies, even though production of that crop has increased the most of all grains in recent years, added Guo. The think-tank expects Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corn production to surpass that of rice for the first time this year, becoming the largest grain crop. Record corn prices encouraged Chinese farmers to plant the largest ever acreage of the crop this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To keep a balanced supply of agriculture products is becoming more and more difficult, given the constraints of worsening land and water resources,â&#x20AC;? said Xu Xiaoqing, head of the rural department of the State Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research and Development Center. Xu said rising imports of agriculture products would continue in the long term while the overall grain pro-
duction level fluctuates wildly depending on the weather. Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grain production fell to 90 percent of its needs in 2011, down from a government target of 95 percent. Despite a record rice and corn harvest last year, prices of grains also hovered at record highs.
Overall, the price of agriculture products rose 16.5 percent in 2011 from 2010, of which grain prices rose nine percent. The think-tank expects overall prices of agricultural products to rise 10 percent this year. Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual inflation rate jumped to 3.6 percent, largely driven by high food prices.

Manitoba’s recent budget largely ignores the concerns of farmers and the agricultural industry, say producer groups in the province. Despite the province facing a $460 million deficit this year, the government is cutting Manitoba Agriculture’s budget for Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Initiatives by a modest 0.5 per cent : to $227 million in 2012 from $228.3 million in 2011. However, Keystone Agricultural Producers was disappointed the budget contained only one new program for farmers: a nutrient management tax credit to help producers comply with new environmental regulations.
DOUG CHORNEY KAP PRESIDENT
“I welcome this assistance, but the kind of practices we’re talking about require huge investments in infrastructure and equipment, and the $300,000 set aside for tax credits is, unfortunately, a drop in the bucket,” KAP president Doug Chorney said in a statement. The province also committed $50 million to fix roads and bridges damaged during the 2011 spring flood, which Chorney said should benefit all residents of rural Manitoba, including farmers. As well, Manitoba Beef Producers welcomed a forage restoration program for hay and pasture land damaged in last year’s flood, which drowned thousands of acres adjacent to Lake Manitoba. “This is a critical program for those still suffering from the 2011 flood,” said MBP president Ray Armbruster. “Flooded land will take years to rehabilitate. MBP will continue to work with the provincial government to restore flooded pasture and hayland.” MBP and KAP lamented the province’s decision to eliminate the riparian tax credit, which offered tax credits for landowners who maintained vegetation cover, eliminated tillage, controlled grazing and implemented other practices to preserve land adjacent to streams and rivers. “Uptake has been low in recent years,” Armbruster said. “But we are disappointed that the province did not adopt the proposed changes to the program that would increase uptake, rather than eliminate the program entirely.”

TRITICALE | NEW VARIETIES
Researchers release triticales containing ergot resistance Agriculture Canada crop development | Sunray and Brevis expected to be available to farmers in 2013 BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Two new triticale varieties bring with them the advantages of ergot resistance and substantially higher yields. Brevis and Sunray were developed at Agriculture Canada research centres in Lethbridge and Swift Current, Sask., and seed is expected to be available for general use next year. Sunray is the first triticale variety with ergot resistance, said research scientist Harpinder Randhawa of the Lethbridge research centre. Ergot can be a problem when triticale is used as a feed grain because it is toxic to animals and reduces overall grain quality. Sunray is high yielding and matures two days earlier than the check varieties AC Ultima, Pronghorn and Bumper, said Randhawa. It is short with good straw strength, lodging resistance and resistance to prevalent races of rust, including Ug99. Yield is the big advantage for Brevis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highest yielding triticale
200,000 ACRES OF TRITICALE ARE GROWN EACH YEAR IN WESTERN CANADA developed in Western Canada,â&#x20AC;? said Randhawa, noting it produces five to 10 percent more than check varieties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also has very good test weight, which is also important for the grain buyer because triticale is notorious for lower test weight than wheat.â&#x20AC;? Brevis is shorter than Sunray, has good lodging tolerance, strong straw and resistance to prevalent rust races, including Ug99. Brevis matures one day later than check varieties. It and Sunray are moderately resistant to fusarium. Randhawa was pleased with the yield advantage of Brevis, though it
might be a hard act to follow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once in awhile you get that hit, but after that to maintain and then to improve further upon it becomes a challenge because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a high bar.â&#x20AC;? About 200,000 acres of triticale are grown in Western Canada annually. The exact amount is difficult to estimate because some of it is used for silage so no records are kept. The new varieties are suitable for bioindustrial uses including ethanol, said Randhawa, and he hopes farmers and ethanol plants will consider triticale for their contracts and feedstock. Research indicates it is competitive with wheat in that use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Triticale is a very, very competitive crop as compared to wheat,â&#x20AC;? he said. The crop performs well in marginal soil and has good stress tolerance when coping with drought and salinity. Brevis is being multiplied and distributed by Wagon Wheel Seed Corp. in Outlook, Sask. Sunray is being multiplied and distributed by SeedNet Inc. in Vulcan, Alta. Triticale is a man-made crop created by crossing wheat with rye.

FLAX | HEALTH CLAIMS
Flaxseed applies for Health Canada cholesterol label BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Flax is attempting to boldly go where few crops have gone before. The Flax Council of Canada has filed a health claim submission with Health Canada containing more than 700 pages of scientific review and analysis on how consuming flaxseed can lower blood cholesterol levels. “Once we get our health claim, it will be really just absolutely phe-
nomenal for the industry,” said Kelley Fitzpatrick, the council’s director of health and nutrition. She spent three years compiling the d o s s i e r, w e e d i n g d o w n 1 , 0 8 0 research studies into 11 papers she thought would meet Health Canada’s stringent requirements. The most compelling evidence is that the high fibre and omega 3 content in flax helps reduce cholesterol, which is a major contributor to heart disease. Health claims are rare. There are 12
approved claims in Canada today, so attaining one could boost flax’s image, which has been under siege for three years after unfavourable weather and the discovery of the genetically modified Triffid variety in a shipment to Europe. “If you are able to obtain a health claim, it’s a very powerful tool for people who are marketing a product to be able to put on their labels,” said council president Will Hill. “It would be a very big boost to flax-
seed in the food market.” The food market accounts for about 20 to 25 percent of flax sales but it has plenty of potential for growth. Fitzpatrick said Quaker Oats knows firsthand what a health claim can do for a commodity. In 1997, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its claim that consuming oatmeal can reduce the risk of heart disease. “They got this health claim and their sales increased by four-fold in
one year,” she said. She anticipates it will take Health Canada at least one year to decide but she plans to hasten the process as much as possible. “We need to engage them and make them understand how important this is for Canada’s alternative oilseed. It’s not all about canola,” said Fitzpatrick. The claim would carry clout with food manufacturers in other jurisdictions as well, she said.

BISON WHISPERER | HERD MANAGEMENT
Expert handler displays command over bison Bison industry booster | Producer enjoys raising bison and demonstrates to others how to control them BY PAUL COWLEY FREELANCE WRITER
Ivan Smith chuckles at the suggestion he’s a bison whisperer, but he doesn’t deny it. “I guess what I like about that is I think it shows that I understand the animals ... that I’m very good at reading their body language.” Smith said he knew almost nothing about the towering animals when his first bison came off the truck in 1998. “It was just sort of a fear, then instant love right at the same time,” he said. “It transformed my life. Everything I’ve done since 1998 has been all about the bison. They’ve looked after me, and in turn, I feel that I have put that back into the herd.” Smith has become the go-to guy for bison. He said he fields 70 phone calls a day from people wanting to know about the meat and looking for or selling breeding stock. He also figures he helps move 10,000 bison a year around Alberta farms and ranches, as well as managing his own herd of 350. “There’s probably not a single week where I haven’t moved a bison from one place to another or cut one out because it doesn’t look right or they want to butcher it.” A story is told in Alberta bison circles about how Smith managed in two days to move a herd of 280 bison that hadn’t budged in 10 years. “I go places where other people haven’t been able to catch animals and just devise a system and, I don’t know, get it done, I guess.” On one weekend recently, he worked with four producers to move their bison.

Keeping them in family groups, understanding their fear of confined spaces and getting to know how a bison thinks goes a long way to improving the animals’ quality of life, he said. “I guess a million years of roaming the prairies with no confinement, I can understand why it’s a foreign concept to them and causes a lot of panic,” he said. Even the smallest of behavioural tendencies can be important. For instance, bison like to turn counter clockwise, which needs to be kept in mind when designing a system to contain them. Smith admits he has no idea why they turn that way. “And I don’t know if in Australia
they turn the other way,” he said with a laugh. He’s also heard that a bison will head northwest if they get out of the pasture and are disoriented. He does know that if any bison get out of his property near Penhold, Alta., they always seem to head north. Smith, who also keeps bison on leased land near Rocky Mountain House, Alta., Sundre, Alta., and Lacombe, Alta., said they aren’t like other livestock. “You can herd them, but it’s kind of like herding a flock of birds. You just have to follow their lead and react accordingly. They’re like a highspeed cow. It’s not they’re dangerous, it’s just they’re so athletic.” Millennia of facing storms and

other threats have taught bison to run first, and if that doesn’t work, stand their ground. He had as many as 2,100 bison until he scaled back recently to concentrate on his other pursuits, including ownership of Red Deer’s two Big Bend Markets, which carry organic bison, chicken, pork, beef, lamb, elk and venison as well as sauces, dips and other meal enhancers. He also has an interest in two Cities Gastro Pubs in Red Deer and Sylvan Lake, Alta. The most requested dish? Bison rib eye. “If you ever took it off the menu, people would just cry,” he said with a grin. He also has his hand in two inter-
net-related businesses: one creates virtual homes for developers so potential buyers can check them out and the other is developing a multimedia tool that allows doctors to pull up a patient’s profile and is linked to pharmacies. For patients, the system provides patients with television, internet and telephone in one bedside unit. However, bison are never far from his thoughts. He recently spent time in Calgary pitching his bison products to top hotel restaurants. His Montreal smoked bison has been a particular hit with tasters. Smith, who was recently appointed vice-chair of the Alberta Bison Association, is as enthusiastic a bison booster as one will find. “I’ve always never really known what I wanted to do with my life. That’s one thing where no matter what I do, they will be part of my life. I know that, without a doubt.” He said he would help out other ranchers even if bison weren’t his bread and butter. “I just love to work with the animals,” he said. “I love to get in there and be close to them. I guess you feel the rush of herds pounding by as they run past you.” He has spent hours sitting in his pickup watching and listening to the bison as they wander the pasture. The animals have even attracted a new species of bird that are attracted to the flies that hover around them. There’s not a bird’s nest within miles that isn’t lined with bison fur. “So they’re really a great fit with the land and I’d like to see a lot more farms converted to bison, actually, because they’ve evolved to be here. “I don’t see why we need to fight it with conventional farming when we have an animal that naturally fits.”

FARM LIVING | HEALTH
Farm lifestyle good for healthier life: study 21st century medicine | Being raised on a farm affects regulation of immune system and reduces immunological responses BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER
LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Many rural people believe there is a connection between farm living and health, but now there is hard science to back it up. For the first time, a new study has shown that being raised on a farm directly affects the regulation of the immune system and reduces the immunological responses to proteins in food. “There is a great deal of self-diagnosis, especially in relation to food allergies, most of which are inaccurate,” said Dr. Marie Lewis, a research associate in infection and immunity at the University of Bristol’s School of Veterinary Sciences in the United Kingdom. “However, there is unequivocal evidence that the incidence of all immunological and metabolic diseases are increasing and are a major challenge for 21st century medicine.” The need to understand the complex correlation between immune drivers and the environment is becoming a top priority. “In the intestine, immune responses against ‘harmless’ antigens are associated with autoimmunity, inflammatory disease and allergy, and there is increasing evidence that such responses are controlled by regulatory T-lymphocytes,” Lewis wrote in a research paper that was recently published in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology. “There is clear indication that expansion of a competent immune system in neonates depends on the composition of the intestinal microbiota and therefore exposure to environmental microbes. However, the mechanisms linking early-life environment to later development of allergy are only just starting to be clarified.” The research paper, “Direct experimental evidence that early-life farm environment influences regulation of immune responses,” showed that children who spend their early years in a complex farm environment increased their number of regulatory T-lymphocytes, the immune cells that drive and limit immune responses. “Many large-scale epidemiological studies have suggested that growing up on a farm is linked to a reduced
New research supports the long-held belief that childhood exposure to a diverse farm environment improves the body’s immune response. | FILE PHOTO likelihood of developing allergic disease,” said Lewis, who headed the research team and was lead author of the paper. “However, until now it has not been possible to demonstrate direct cause and effect: does the farm environment actively protect against allergies, or are allergy-prone families unlikely to live on farms?” Enter piglets. Pigs are valuable models for humans with similarities in digestive physiology, immunology, metabolism and genetics, and research using pigs can be reliably translated to underscore the human condition. They can also get allergies that are caused by the same mechanism as in humans., making them the ideal farm animal to conduct environmental exposure tests. In the study, some piglets were nursed by their sows on a farm while their siblings, from one day of age onward, were reared in an isolator
unit under extremely hygienic conditions and fed formula milk, reflecting the environmental extremes under which human babies can be raised. “Six piglets from six sows were left on the farm while a sibling from each litter was brought into the isolator,” said Lewis. “An additional six adult pigs were used for comparison purposes. The sows were all from one farm and since we used siblings in the isolator it was only necessary to look at one farm. If we had used unrelated piglets, we would have had to use a series of different farms.” She said the farm piglets were reared in a barn in a farrowing unit with slatted flooring so that droppings fell through, although some messy residue remained. However, the isolator piglets were bathed in safe disinfectant on arrival and then individually housed in a high level hygiene HEPA filtered positive pressure facility. Socially, they could see
and hear each other. “They had contact with staff who were wearing hairnets, gloves and scrubs, which had been soaked in disinfectant and washed at a very high temperature. The isolator piglets were also on slats but were cleaned out every day and provided with disinfected ‘vetbed’ bedding twice a day. The isolator piglets were treated in a similar way to human infants.” The researchers were able to demonstrate that, compared to their siblings in the isolator, the farm-reared piglets had reduced overall numbers of T-lymphocytes, the immune cells that drive immune responses in their intestinal tissues. However, the piglets that had been exposed to natural surrounding dirt in the pen also had significantly increased numbers of a subset of these cells, the regulatory T-lymphocytes, which limit inflammation. The shift in the ratio of stimulatory
and regulatory cells seemed to have certain functional effects because the farm-reared piglets also showed decreased antibody responses to novel food proteins when they were weaned. “By rearing piglets under different conditions, we have ... demonstrated significant effects of environment on the intestinal microbiota, on host cells associated with the immune system and on gene expression,” wrote Lewis. “Given the important role of regulatory T-cells in rodents, we hypothesized that their numbers would be altered by the conditions generated in our low-high hygiene model and that these differences would be reflected functionally in antibody responses to novel food protein. The results confirm this hypothesis and further demonstrate that neonatal piglets are a tractable model for human infants.” Many mammal species besides humans have regulatory T-cells. They appear to be universal regulators of immune systems, and a reduction in their numbers is often associated with the development of allergies and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. “At this point, it is not exactly clear what caused the increased capacity for immune regulation in our farmreared piglets,” said Lewis. “Our previous work suggests that intestinal bacteria play a pivotal role in the development of a competent immune system and these bacteria are obtained from the environment during early life.” The protective influences of the bacteria are sustained from that exposure in early life. “We would very much like to rear piglets in the isolator and then put them back on the farm. However, this is not as easy as it sounds due to animal movement legislation,” she said. “Our next step will be to look at the consequences of differences in the immune system caused by an early life rearing environment.” Research is continuing. Additional work is required to find out the extent to which other farm-associated factors contributed to the impact of the environment on increased local and systemic immune regulation, such as social and maternal interactions, aerial contaminants, antigens from bedding and early nutrition.

Record crop forecast | Expansion expected in non-traditional soybean regions of southwestern Manitoba BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU
Manitoba farmers may shatter the provincial record for soybean acres this year, but a shift to Roundup Ready 2 beans and a lack of high quality seed threatens acreage gains. The province set another record for soybeans last year, with Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp. insuring 587,000 acres, compared to 528,000 in 2010. Manitoba Pulse Growers Association director Albert Turski, who farms near La Salle, Man., south of Winnipeg, said soybeans could reach seven figures in 2012. “I think 700,000 to a million acres of soybeans, I would think,” he said. Turski intends to plant soybeans on 1,600 of his 4,000 acres, but like many producers in the Red River Valley, he is rubbing up against rotation limits. That means that if acres swell to 700,000 or higher, the expansion will have to occur in non-traditional soybean regions such as southwestern Manitoba.
I’ve been hearing it was pretty hard to find some good seed. ALBERT TURSKI MANITOBA PULSE GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Dennis Lange, a crop production adviser with Manitoba Agriculture, said producers in the southwest were planning to seed more soybeans last year, but overland flooding drowned out thousands of acres in the region. He polled farmers at a meeting in Melita, Man., last summer to see how many had planned to seed soybeans in 2011. “Almost the whole group put their hands up, so there is interest.” However, Manitoba farm supply dealers struggled to acquire sufficient seed last year. The shift from Roundup Ready to Roundup Ready 2 technology is thought to have reset the seed supply chain to zero.
“The majority of varieties last year would have been Roundup Ready 1s,” Lange said. “This year, the majority of the varieties will be Roundup Ready 2s.” A wet spring followed by an extremely hot, dry summer reduced soybean yields in Manitoba, which meant soybean seed growers didn’t produce as much Roundup Ready 2 seed as expected. In turn, there was a shortage of high quality varieties last fall when producers drove to the local dealer to buy soybean seed. “I’ve been hearing it was pretty hard to find some good seed,” Turski said. “Guys replicating seed up here, in our area, there wasn’t any 40 to 45 bushel soybeans…. So that puts a damper on seed (production).” Lange said most farmers who want to grow soybeans this year probably got their hands on seed. Turski said producers who couldn’t buy quality Roundup Ready seed might grow non-genetically modified soybeans this year. High canola prices may also put a ceiling on soybean acres in Manitoba.
A naturally occurring isotope of carbon, C 14, becomes part of plants during photosynthesis. When other organisms eat the plants the C14 becomes part of their bodies. Because the radioactive C14 decays gradually to form ordinary carbon (C12) the relative proportion of C14 and C12 has been used for decades to ‘date’ organic fossils. Atmospheric testing markedly increased the amount of C14 in the atmosphere, first resulting in higher C14 in plants and then in soil microorganisms and humus. Pioneering work at the College of Agriculture in the early 1960s used radioactive carbon, both natural and the higher amounts from bomb testing, to estimate the turnover rate of the carbon in soil organic matter. PhD student Constantine Campbell working with Professors Eldor Paul and Ken McCallum from chemistry radiocarbon-dated whole soil and certain fractions. Their work showed that some ‘humus’ exists in the soil for hundreds to more than a thousand years, whereas other fractions are more dynamic and important to the supply of nutrients such as nitrogen. The radioactive form of cesium, Cs137, is another product of bomb testing. The cesium falls to earth in precipitation and is usually distributed evenly over the surface. The cesium ions are bound tightly to the clay and organic matter particles in the surface soil. Measuring the amount of Cs137 in the soil after a few decades is an effective way of estimating losses or gains because of soil erosion. Research in the early 1980s by Professor Eeltje de Jong adapted the cesium method to Saskatchewan. His work, and work by several graduate students and colleagues found that soil losses by erosion were high, particularly on upper slopes. The work showed that lateral and downslope movement of soil by tillage was the main ‘erosion’ process. These studies and much other similar work provided the evidence that farming methods based on tillage were hard on soil, and is one of the reasons for the development of conservation tillage systems, research pioneered by scientists in the college. www.agbio.usask.ca

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS | RED TAPE
Red tape curbs development Federal regulations | Opportunities lost because of costly paperwork BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER
SARNIA , Ont. — Never again. That’s how a Manitoba farmer and flour mill owner views an ill-fated attempt to expand his milling interests to Ontario. Andreas Boersch said the attempt quickly deteriorated into a regulatory nightmare. He compared it to his experience in Manitoba, where he and his partners at LVB Milling Inc. successfully operate the first new flour mill to be built in Canada in 40 years. “When we went to regulatory matters, it took me three months and $5,000 to get land rezoned at Elie, Man. The same process in Ontario took nearly three years and it cost more than $400,000,” Boersch said in an interview from his home at Elie. He was finally able to obtain an agricultural industrial designation for 13 acres north of Guelph, Ont., but the economic downturn then made it difficult to get financing. Disaster was averted only when a major player bought him out last fall. Boersch said he understands the need for regulatory approvals and the requirement for impact studies. However, he said some requirements had little merit. “The silliest thing we had to do was an impact study to prove that a flour mill is of benefit to farmers.” Boersch said the local municipality, the Township of Guelph-Eramosa, was supportive. Councillors understood the value of a mill that would buy one-third of its annual wheat requirements — about 60,000 tonnes — from area farmers and create 25 to 30 jobs. Some of the larger regulatory challenges were provincial and from Ontario agencies such as the area’s conservation authority. There was also a drawn-out process initiated by the City of Guelph related to a proposed trail along the rail right-of-way. “What really cuts is the disregard the people who demand these things have for your costs and time,” Boersch said. Gord Surgeoner, president of Ontario Agri-Food Technologies, talked about Boersch’s experience during a panel discussion about regulatory challenges at the Bringing Bioproducts to Market Conference in Sarnia March 28. Surgeoner said inappropriate regulation is a serious matter. “We cannot continue business as we have because we will continue to lose significant business opportunities.” He advised smaller companies to look for allies, such as the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and Grain Growers of Ontario. “Trying to do it alone and banging your head against the wall just isn’t going to do it.” Peter van Ballegooie of EcoSynthetix Inc. and Glyn Chancey, executive director of the Canada-U.S. Regulatory Cooperation Council secretariat, agreed. Van Ballegooie said large corporations often have staff dedicated to regulatory issues along with their own laboratories and other facilities to help meet technological requirements.
Chancey said it’s important for business owners to provide opportunities for regulators to understand regulatory impacts from an “outsidein” perspective. Surgeoner said this people-based approach led to the minor use and emergency use programs at the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. The importance of making timely regulatory decisions was conveyed by looking beyond the paperwork to establish relationships with the people making decisions. Chancey said the federal govern-
ment recognized regulatory streamlining was needed and created the Red Tape Reduction Commission. It identified 2,300 regulatory irritants and 250 underlying problems. The focus was eventually narrowed to 90 problems affecting 18 departments and agencies and 15 concerns systemic to government as a whole. A report, issued in January, made several recommendations: • cut the administrative burden on businesses to reduce the information requirement • provide a single-window access to

EUROPEAN CROPS | FORECAST
Frost, drought curtails European grain prospects Drop from 2011 output | Forecast cuts wheat by 4.3 million tonnes, barley by 1.1 million tonnes and durum by 600,000 tonnes PARIS, France (Reuters) — Analyst Strategie Grains has again cut its forecasts for winter grain crops in the European Union because of the impact of frost and drought. The new forecast raises the prospect of tight wheat supply in Europe next season. The analyst lowered by 4.3 million tonnes its forecast of the EU’s main soft wheat crop to 126.8 million tonnes, now putting production below last year ’s 129.1 million tonnes. It also cut its outlook for the barley
crop by 1.1 million tonnes to 52.4 million, still up one percent from last year, and lowered its durum forecast by 600,000 tonnes to 7.8 million, leaving the forecast down six percent from 2011 output. “We now estimate that six percent of the area originally sown with winter crops will need to be replanted as a result of the severe frosts in February,” Strategie Grains said in the report. “Soft wheat and winter barley account for more than half of the 2.5 million hectares (6.2 million acres) that will need replanting.”
Meanwhile, drought in southern parts of the EU intensified in March, with Spain and Portugal worst hit, the analyst said. “We have therefore revised down our yield forecasts in all the countries impacted by the frost and drought, but our estimates retain a high variation potential,” it said. The company stressed that weather in the coming weeks would significantly influence yields. The analyst had already lowered its forecasts of EU winter grain production in its March crop report, citing
frost damage and the developing drought. It had left average yields for soft wheat and barley unchanged but warned they could be reduced if dryness continued. The reduced harvest outlook this month would leave the EU wheat supply relatively tight next season, with prices having the potential to rise to curb demand, Strategie Grains said. “In the EU, at current prices, the outlook is now tight due to the reduced harvest forecasts and the existence of incompressible demand
WEST AFRICA | AID
Canada urged to lead aid efforts More help needed: Oxfam BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
Oxfam Canada, while praising the Canadian government for an early response to a looming food crisis in West Africa, is calling for more Canadian leadership. Oxfam Canada executive director Robert Fox said at a Parliament Hill news conference April 12 that Canada should convene an international conference to urge a better aid response from other countries. The Canadian International Development Agency earlier pledged $41 million in aid, and Fox said that was critical and welcome help. “What we need now is leadership, and we are calling on Canada to provide that by convening a meeting of potential donors,” he said. Fox said the United States, the European Union, India and China have been slow to respond. “It is not too late to save the lives of millions of people,” he said. An estimated 15 million people are facing food shortages in seven West African countries because of drought last year that limited harvests. A year ago, war and drought led to many deaths in East Africa. “We learned then that the biggest risk is to wait,” said Fox. “Acting earlier saves lives, prevents misery and costs far less in international aid.” Mamadou Goita, executive secretary of the West African Peasants’ and Farmers’ Network in Mali, told the news conference that much of the $22 billion in agricultural investment that major G8 countries pledged in 2008 has never been seen. He said most smallholder farmers in his country have no access to credit, and little of the promised money has made it to farmers to invest in production improvements. Fox said that one of the “great obscenities” in the world is the plight of poor rural female farmers who produce a majority of the world’s food but often do not have enough to feed themselves and their families during droughts or weather crises.

(industrial and exports to North Africa),” it said. The decreased crop forecast led the analyst to cut by three million tonnes its forecast of EU soft wheat exports next season to 13.5 million tonnes. Coupled with damaged harvest prospects in North Africa, the Middle East and the Black Sea region, the EU situation would also cut into world wheat supply. “In conclusion, the outlook for wheat in 2012-13 is no longer heavy, either at the EU or global levels,” it said, referring to supply levels.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Publicly funded plant breeders are becoming a rare species in Australia, especially when it comes to large acreage crops such as wheat, barley and canola. All of Australia’s wheat breeding programs have been sold in the past 15 to 20 years and are operating in the private sector as stand-alone, forprofit companies. Canola breeding is also exclusively in the hands of the private sector, and all but one of the country’s barley breeding programs has been privatized. The country’s last publicly funded barley breeding program, based at the University of Adelaide, is in the process of becoming a stand-alone company. That process is likely to be completed in the next year or two, and Viterra was expected to take an ownership position in the new company. “Gradually, we have seen all of the state agriculture departments and universities basically spin out their (wheat and barley) programs or have them licensed off … to become part of that private sector space,” said Jason Eglinton, a barley breeder at the University of Adelaide. “Most of those programs have a large multinational investor.” Multinational companies, including Limagrain, Dow and Monsanto, all have a significant ownership stake in Australian wheat and barley breeding programs that were once publicly funded. Eglinton said privatization of Australia’s public plant breeding programs began in the mid-1990s and climbed over the next decade. Australian farmers traditionally depended heavily on the use of farmsaved seed, which meant slow adoption of new varieties because the situation was not conducive to new investments in plant breeding. Australia’s state and federal governments began to scrutinize their contributions to public plant breeding programs, which were run primarily by state governments and university agriculture departments. These programs were eventually slated for privatization and a new funding mechanism known as endpoint royalty (EPR) was introduced. End point royalties allow plant breeding companies to charge a royalty on every tonne of commercial grain that is produced. The system allows farmers to use farm-saved seed but all crops produced from an EPR seed variety are subject to the royalty fee. Royalties are charged at the point of delivery and revenues are returned to the plant breeding company. The system has resulted in more
private investment in cereal breeding programs, but critics say private sector breeders tend to focus primarily on varieties that will be widely grown on a large number of acres. The private sector model produces fewer specialty or niche cereal varieties. End point royalties vary from crop to crop and variety to variety. In most cases, they range from a low of $1 to $2 a tonne to a high of $4 per tonne, Eglinton said. For example, Australia’s marketleading malting barley variety has a royalty rate of $3.80 Aus per tonne. “I guess to some extent, the royalties reflect the value proposition of the crop itself,” he said. “We think around that $3 to $4 mark in cereals is about the point that the market will tolerate. Anything above that and there would likely be some serious kick-back.” Response to privatized cereal breeding has received mixed reviews. Some farmers view it as further evidence that multinational corporations are gaining a stranglehold on the Australian agriculture industry. Others argue that public funding was becoming increasingly unreliable and that private sector investment in wheat and barley breeding was inevitable. Today, Australian governments still offer financial support to plant breeding programs that work with minor acreage crops such as oats, durum and pulses, but even they are being positioned for privatization. “I think by and large, farmers were fairly comfortable with privatization because there was a pretty solid communication program that went out … explaining that it was becoming very difficult to maintain a quality infrastructure and quality people when you’ve got a declining public sector funding base,” said Eglinton, who is in charge of privatizing the University of Adelaide barley program. For plant breeders and technical staff, the transition has required some adjustment, he added. Cereal breeders have less latitude to pursue interests that have no chance of generating positive financial returns for the company. In addition, university breeding programs that once had a direct working relationship with the larger research community are now operating as separate entities, which limits the flow of information and knowledge. “Under a public model, we had a system where breeding was intimately related to the basic and applied research, so you almost had a seamless path to market, if you like,” said Eglinton. “Now we have a very deliberate split between those two functions, so our task, in a lot of cases, is to build bridges back between them.”

Miniature bulls, S
TETTLER, Alta. — If Kyle Stuckey had his way, miniature bull riding would replace steer riding in most rodeos. “It’s going to be as big as we can get it,” Stuckey said after wrapping up a miniature bull riding jackpot and practice session April 15. Miniature bulls are smaller versions of full size bucking bulls. The animals’ twist, turn, snort and chase bullfighters just like the big boys. The only difference is size. Miniature bulls can’t be taller than 48 inches from the ground to the shoulders. Learning how to ride bucking, spinning, smaller-sized bulls gives young riders a better idea of what riding big bulls is like, said Stuckey, who has started a breeding program of Dexter, Zebu cross and small Brahma to get bulls under 48 inches. Most young bull riders start their careers steer riding. Some steers race across the arena with only a few hops,
and riders can find it difficult to graduate to the twisting, turning bulls. Riders are encouraged to ride the miniature bulls with one hand to maintain their balance, just as riders do on the big bulls, said Stuckey, who belongs to the Canadian Miniature Bull Riding Association. “When the bull drops its front end, the arm keeps you balanced.” Stuckey’s grandfather, Bill, said the miniature bulls teach riders to be aware of their surroundings. “When kids get bucked off a bull, they know they have to get up and get out of the way,” said the senior Stuckey, who won a steer riding championship at the Calgary Stampede when he was a teenager. “With steers, kids don’t learn how to ride bulls, they learn how to hold on for dear life.” Connor Larrivee, 13, of Strathmore, Alta., came to the practice and jackpot event with his father, Darren. His goal is to make it to the Profes-
sional Bull Riders circuit and then win. He hopes to gain experience and knowledge by riding the miniature bulls. “It helps transition better than just riding steers,” said Connor. “These have a lot more shoulder. It’s more like a real bull would be.” Larrivee began his bucking career riding sheep in mutton busting and then graduated to steers and now miniature bulls. “I always wanted to try it. Once I got on I was hooked. It’s cowboy crack,” said Larrivee. “It’s really a big adrenaline rush.” Larrivee’s father said he supports his son’s choice of events. “There are a lot of things the kids could be doing. In rodeo they are usually staying out of trouble.” Curtis Clark of Carstairs, Alta., won the evening’s jackpot and took home $200 for his bull riding. “It’s fun. I enjoy bull riding. I love

Brendin Running Rabbit said the children enjoy the event so their family has made the effort to come to all the miniature bull riding events.
“If they want to become a professional bull rider, the miniature bulls do more spinning. It’s more realistic of some of their mannerisms. It will give him more of an insight of how a bull is ridden.” Running Rabbit doesn’t think miniature bull riding events will replace steer riding because few parents will let their
children on a bull, even if it is small. “They hear the word bull and they get scared and think that a bull is mean.” Bull riding judge Doug Rogers of Bentley, Alta., doesn’t believe miniature bulls will replace steer riding, but it’s a new twist at rodeo events. “It’s pretty cool that the kids get to ride bulls.”

SUGAR BEETS | CONTRACT SETTLEMENT
Sugar beet seeding starts after successful negotiations BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
Southern Alberta sugar beet growers have begun planting crops, now that contentious contract negotiations have been resolved. The Alberta Sugar Beet Growers (ASBG) and Lantic Inc., which operates the Taber, Alta., sugar refinery, signed a three-year contract April 14 after protracted negotiations that at one point threatened the future of the 2012 sugar beet crop. It clears the way for 200 growers to start planting 30,000 acres of sugar beets contracted by Lantic. “All in all, we think it’s a good solid position and we think it’s going to
provide stability,” said ASBG executive director Gerald Third. “We think it will also provide good returns to the growers, especially with the rising cost of inputs.” Third and Lantic agricultural superintendent Andrew Llewelyn-Jones said neither side was satisfied with the final deal, but they did resolve matters through use of a mediator. The contract provides an increase to growers on the bulk return of sugar and also increases the incentive for higher sugar content, said Llewelyn-Jones. As well, the threshold for shrink payments was changed. Lantic will now pay growers for shrink, which is the difference between what the company buys and what it slices, if

three years, with the option to increase that amount if sugar prices rise and Lantic obtains additional markets. The world price of sugar is now more than 20 cents US per pound, and if it stays higher than 22 cents,
Llewelyn-Jones said growers will realize the maximum returns under the new contract. The window of April 15-30 is typically the ideal time to plant sugar beets in southern Alberta.

Saskatchewan growers will soon have another pulse crop option. Breeder seed from a new variety of small-seeded fababean was distributed to select seed growers this spring. There is enough seed to plant 7.5 acres of the crop. It will take two to three years for seed multiplication to reach levels where the unnamed variety will be made commercially available to growers. “In addition to peas and lentils and chickpeas it’s just one more crop they can add to the arsenal,” said Carl Potts, executive director of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. Fababeans have been grown in Western Canada since 1972, but those were large-seeded varieties. The new small-seeded variety has greater potential because it will work better with modern machinery. Potts thinks it will be a good option for growers because of its excellent nitrogen fixing ability. “It will have some attractiveness perhaps in areas where we’ve seen reduction in pea acreage up in the northeast part of the province,” he said. Potts wouldn’t speculate on potential acreage, but his predecessor once said the association is targeting 500,000 acres of fababeans by 2025. Fababeans are a feed ingredient in many parts of the world, but companies have expressed interest in exporting the new Canadian variety to human consumption markets in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The new variety is low in vicine and convicine, which means it can be eaten by people suffering from fabism, a condition where eating fababeans causes the rupturing of red blood cells. “We’re hopeful that can help with the marketing of this crop,” said Potts. Companies also want to fractionate the crop into products such as flour because it has a higher protein content than any other pulse crop.

CLIMATE | FARM MANAGEMENT
Plan around climate, not weather Rain, rain, go away | Some climatologists think the rain may do just that — should producers prepare for a dry spell? BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU
FARGO, N.D. — Farmers’ decisions are influenced by a factor over which they have no control — long-term weather patterns. One obvious example of how weather affects decisions is the trend toward rubber tracks on power units and implements. More farmers would likely spend the extra money on tracks if they knew for certain that they’re still in a long-term wet cycle. But what if the wet cycle has peaked and the Prairies are headed back toward the kind of dry weather that historically typifies most of the region? That’s the scenario meteorologist Leon Osborne predicts to be most likely. Osborne, one of the founders of Meridian Environmental Technology in Grand Forks, North Dakota, spends his professional life studying weather patterns. “There are good indicators now that we’re seeing a transition to drier weather from the wet period that started in 1977,” Osborne said. “Except for the drought years from 1988 to ’92, we’ve become progressively wetter since 1977. I think the wet cycle peaked in about 2005 or 2006. We’re now in a gradual transition toward progressively drier years.” He said the region will remain in the generally wet cycle for a while yet, and that inadequate moisture in some parts of the Prairies last year was an anomaly. Osborne said knowing which side of the long-term climate cycle the region is on can be important in helping farmers make equipment choices and other management decisions. “The problem is that it’s difficult to grasp the big picture, the overall climatic trend, because you always get anomalies that go in the opposite direction of the trend,” said Osborne. “Over time, I believe we’re going to become drier and drier, but we know there will also be major wet periods every now and then. “For the engineers designing seeding equipment and other equipment, the only prudent course of action is to continue focusing on implements with dry weather in mind.” He said climatologists agree that the prognosis of a prolonged dry spell will include periods of extreme moisture and periods of extreme drought, but that’s the way it has always been on the northern Great Plains. People are often quick to point an accusing finger at El Nino, La Nina or global warming when tr ying to understand weather fluctuations, but Osborne said it’s not that simple. El Nino is warming of surface waters

They are nothing more than small parts of a larger pattern that only recently became recognized by climatologists as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. PDO is an internal reversal of two water circulation patterns that often varies from 10 to 30 years for each phase. El Nino and La Nina, on the other hand, cycle every three to seven years and are short-term blips on the chart. Osborne said El Nino and La Nina may contribute to higher documented frequent variations in temperatures across parts of the globe. These increases in magnitudes of warming have recently supported global warming theories, but the higher temperatures alone do not necessarily relate to causes of global warming. “We had a dramatic transition from cool phase to warm phase of PDO in 1977,” he said. “The switch corresponds to a sharp climate transition at the same time

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is an El Nino-like pattern of Pacific ocean surface temperature variations. The positive phase of PDO brings warmer temperatures, while the negative phase brings cooler temperatures. Either phase can last several decades. The graphic shows temperatures at sea surface during each PDO phase.
Long-term weather trends can affect farm management decisions such as: • equipment purchases: rubber tracked equipment vs. tires only; large, heavy combine vs. smaller, lighter combine; low vs. high disturbance seeding equipment

until years after it happened.” Meridian performed analysis to determine the long-term effects on water resources on the northern Great Plains. The results suggest that the central part of North America is moving into a pattern of increasingly drier conditions that can last 20 to 30 years. The area encompasses the northern Great Plains, including Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Osborne said his research indicates that a large part of this change will be attributed to the cool phase of the PDO. “Prairie people will see a fundamental underlying change in structure and orientation of the polar jet stream, caused by changes in Pacific surface temperatures and circulation patterns,” he said. “It’s normal and natural for the atmosphere to respond to changes in circulation patterns in the oceans.” Osborne said there is ongoing debate among climatologists about whether other factors associated with global warming could override naturally occurring climatic patterns and fluctuations such as PDO or if the naturally occurring patterns take on the appearance of global warming. “That’s the major question we’re still trying to resolve within the scientific community,” he said. “How much of a global warming signature have we seen over the last half century, particularly over the last 30 to 40 years, that can be attributed to long-term ocean circulations caused by natural factors? “We clearly do not know at this point in time. Oceans are never static. Deep ocean circulations and global currents change over time and we know they affect climatic changes. But we don’t know enough about these currents and how they impact the world’s climate.” He said it will be difficult to distinguish global warming factors from naturally occurring climatic changes. The first international geo-physical year conference met in the mid1950s to begin discussing the entire relationship of earth, atmosphere and oceans. Osborne said it was a good start, but nobody will begin to comprehend the overall dynamics of ocean, earth and atmosphere in just 60 years. “Normal human nature enters into this whole equation. As humans, we have the arrogance to think we know a lot more than we really do know,” he said. “We have a strong tendency to jump to conclusions. We want immediate answers along with quick and easy solutions, but that’s not how the real world functions.”
Rainwater has great potential with proper storage ENERGY FIELD
WILL ODDIE
Canadians use almost 350 litres of water per day, per person
W
ater is a human essential: 80 percent of our weight is made up of it. We can live for weeks without food but only days without water. It is also imperative to our lives. We use water for drinking, cooking, washing and providing for plants and animals that sustain us. We also use it for food and industrial processing and for resource extraction. Water is a resource that is not spread equally, whether geographically or seasonally. Many parts of the world have dry and wet seasons, as opposed to our cold and hot seasons. The rain can be torrential in the wet season, resulting in land erosion, flash flooding and infrastructure damage, while in the dry season, it can be sparse if at all. Water must be taken from nearby streams that are often polluted or from underground aquifers and a well or borehole, often by pail and rope or a hand pump. Washing of clothes is done in residual pools of water that are stagnant and increasingly dirty for millions of people. In our part of the world, we largely take water for granted. Canadians are the largest per capita users of water in the world. Where a person in a refugee camp might receive as little as four to five litres of water per day for drinking, cooking and washing, in Canada we consume almost 350 litres of water per day per person, with much of that being used for more than the basics, everything from flushing toilets to dishwashers and clothes washers to the sprinkling of lawns and gardens to the washing of cars and driveways with pressure washers. And regardless of how it is used, municipal water is all filtered and treated for human consumption. We are fortunate to have an abun-

We still have enough melting from glaciers and rainfall to replenish our water sources, but droughts occur around the world and we have not been immune from them. Historically there have been many periods of drought, and our experience in what was called the Dirty Thirties proved that droughts can last a long time, easily as long as a decade. Sometimes we have too much water. In cities, rainwater is retained or detained to prevent the overcharging of storm water systems. Temporary ponding areas, such as storm water detention ponds, delay water discharge until the storm water systems are capable of handling them. Urban subdivisions have storm water retention ponds, which are man-made lakes that provide bird habitat and increased biodiversity We generally don’t think much about capturing and storing water, but that was not always the case. A century ago, rural houses were built with a cistern incorporated in the basement concrete work, which captured rainwater from the roof by diverting it from eaves trough downspouts. Those cisterns could
typically hold all the water from a good rain, which from an average house roof could provide enough water to serve the household until the next rain. There is much to be said for rainwater or snow water. It tends to be softer than well water, making washing of most things easier with the use of less detergent. Plants also seem to thrive better on it. It is not advised to drink rainwater without filtration or treatment, but it certainly can be used for all other uses. There are a many ways to capture surface water. Early settlers learned the benefits of dams and reservoirs. The development of what are known as dugouts came from the need for good water. Dugouts capture water when snow melts and cannot penetrate the frozen ground, while dams keep runoff water from racing to the ocean. In steep terrain, people use terracing to hold water and prevent erosion. The simplest way for the average person to capture rainwater is to position a rain barrel at an eaves trough downspout. There it can be used to water the garden when the dry soil beckons. However, a rain barrel is likely to overflow in all but a small rain. To capture a lot of rain takes a seri-
ous sized tank. Two challenges are location and aesthetics. A 25 millimetre rain on a 1,500 sq. foot roof will net almost 3,500 litres of water, which would require a tank two metres in diameter and 1.8 metres high. A tank that size might seem a bit large sitting next to the house, but think of the potential for an outbuilding. One side of a 40 by 80 foot machine shed will receive the better part of 4,000 litres in a 25 mm rain. It can be pumped to the house, although with all surface tanks, it is subject to freezing, as is the pump. As a result, such capture is really a two or three season situation. Any surface water must be treated with respect. If the source is a dugout, it is important to remember the catchment area will determine the water quality. Water quality will be suspect If the dugout is downstream from intensive livestock facilities. It is best if the area immediately upstream from the dugout is covered with grass to prevent erosion and siltation. It also is important to remember safety with children around a dugout. Water from roofs is also questionable and can never be assumed to be of potable quality. All roofs will have dust, bird feces and pollutants, while asphalt roofs have more runoff debris. The first water off a roof is likely to be contaminated, and there are now devices that dump that first water to prevent it from entering into storage. However, with filtration and judicious use of the water, there are plenty of options for using the stored water, such as gardens, livestock, toilets and washing. Water is plentiful in much of Canada: our rivers are flowing full and aquifers are largely undiminished. But we know from the experience of others, including the United States, that sources such as underground aquifers can become substantially depleted under intensive use from population centres and irrigation. Water catchment is mostly a distant if not radical idea, but someday, when water is more precious, we may look more seriously at holding water a little longer before we let it go its way.

FORAGE EQUIPMENT | NEW PRODUCTS
Triple cutters work at leading edge of hay production New products feature | New haying equipment, compiled by Ron Lyseng of the Winnipeg bureau and based on company information
A
s high grain prices reduce hayland, forage producers are looking for better equipment to optimize the remaining land. Implement manufacturers in North America and Europe are meeting that demand with new, more efficient mower-conditioners. Some of the top contenders come from John Deere, Agco and New Holland, which have recently attached the latest in cutting edge European forage technology to their latest tractor lines. Claas and Krone’s wide-mowing self-propelled machines have high horsepower, are time efficient and have automated platforms.
John Deere This triple puts a 131 front-mount mower-conditioner together with a model 388 twin rear-mount mowerconditioner. The combination of three tractor-mount mowers cuts a swath of 28 feet, eight inches per pass. “This mo-co combination allows the operator to cut and condition up to 40 acres of hay per hour depending on field conditions,” Jeremy Unruh, John Deere’s baling and mowing product manager, said in a news release. The unit requires a tractor with

The John Deere Triple-Mount Mower-Conditioner hooks a front 131 to a pair of rear 388 mowers to create a total cutting width of 28 feet, eight inches per pass. The rig is capable of cutting and conditioning 40 acres per hour in good field conditions. | JOHN DEERE PHOTO greater than 190 rear horsepower, a front hitch and 1,000 r.p.m. power take-off. The standard configuration uses a 1 3/8-inch front p.t.o., which can be adapted to 1 3/4 inch. The rear has a 1 3/4 inch p.t.o. connection. Quik-Coupler adapting parts are standard with each 388 rear-mounted mower-conditioner for easier attachment to tractors with Category 3 or Category 4N/3 three-point hitch. It has a transport width of 10 feet, two inches in the fold-up position. “These units are a great fit with the new John Deere 7R tractors as well as the 7030 and 8R tractors with front hitch and p.t.o.,” said Unruh. “It allows producers to increase the utilization of their large row-crop tractor and improve the productivity of their haying operations, especially
when integrated with an AutoTrac guidance system.” Agco The Massey Hesston DM1300 Series Butterfly Mower System couples a DM 1340 front-mount mower to a pair of DM 1398 rear-mount mowers. The Butterfly attaches to a highhorsepower tractor, providing a cut up to 30 feet wide. The disc mower unit can flex and adjust to match ground contours without gouging. The system is designed to gently cut and condition forage using a springtine rotor and four-way adjustable conditioning comb to create a loose, well-aerated swath. The tine conditioner gently
removes the crop’s wax coat without crushing stems. This helps retain valuable nutrients for higher-quality forage. All three DM Butterfly mowers feature a low profile, lightweight compact modular angle cutterbar. The cutterbar uses a double-bevel gear design to provide even power transfer to all of the discs. Cutting height can be adjusted between 1.5 and 2.8 inches with a central hand crank. Standard, low profile rock guards and a built-in skid plate add structural support and help shield the cutterbar from unnecessary damage. The front-mount DM1340 is built on an overhead frame that allows a large range of movement. It has a CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Hesston has an all-new Butterfly system, bringing together DM 1340 front and twin MD 1398 rear mower conditioners. The front mower is built on an overhead frame that allows a 17 inch headland lift, 26 inches tilt up and down and 22 inches total vertical travel. Total swath width is 30 feet. | MASSEY HESSTON PHOTO 17-inch headland lift and 26 inches of total up and down tilt. This minimizes the impact of surface unevenness and prevents the mower from gouging into the ground. An integrated hydraulic cylinder, in combination with the front hydraulics, provides a 22-inch vertical travel range. The DM1340 mower unit also features a hydraulic side-shift capable of moving eight inches side-toside to help cut around corners. The rear model DM1398 mower units are mounted at the tractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre of gravity, allowing them to freely hug the contours of the terrain while reducing the load placed on the tractor lift arms. The mowers feature a lift system that helps improve cutting quality. It allows the mower to adapt to ground contours independent of the ground profile and cutterbar setup, so the cutterbar glides into dips and depressions.
These rear-mounted mowers have an impact swing-away protection system to prevent damage caused by objects encountered in the field. Each mower unit can independently swerve back and up around the slanting axle when striking an obstacle, protecting the drive shafts from damage. O nce the obstr uction has passed, the mower will return to its working position under its own weight. Stopping or reversing is not necessary. Because the mowers are mounted on the tractor with a low centre of gravity, they can be transported smoothly. To conserve space in the machine shed, the mower can be parked in its upright transport position.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | APRIL 26, 2012
New Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry into the triple mower market is the MegaCutter, which cuts and conditions 43 acres per hour, with swaths of 29 feet six inches per pass. The front 512 disc has an 11 foot, five inch cutting width, which gives it a 12 percent wider cut than typical 10 foot cutters, thus providing extra mower overlap. | NEW HOLLAND PHOTO
good conditions. It cuts a triple-wide swath that nearly doubles the width of a traditional 16-foot self-propelled mower-conditioner or windrower. The Megacutter is a three-machine cutting system. The MegaCutter 512 front-mounted disc mower-conditioner has a cutting width of 11 feet, five inches. The twin MegaCutter 530 rear-mounted disc mower-conditioner brings the total cutting width up to 29 feet six inches with each pass. The V-tine flail conditioning system provides a range of conditioning intensities for a variety of crops, from delicate legumes to the most robust grass hays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Megacutter offers maximum efficiency and versatility for large livestock operations and custom harvesters. Not only can producers cut more hay in less time, they can also take advantage of peak drying conditions during the day,â&#x20AC;? Mike Cornman, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dairy and livestock segment manager, said in a news release.
He said the system is a good fit for the T7 or T8 row crop tractors. The MegaCutter 512 front-mounted disc mower-conditioner has an 11 foot five inch cutting width, clearing a path 12 percent wider than typical 10 foot front mowers. The wider cutting width also provides extra mower overlap with the MegaCutter 530 twin rear-mounted disc mower-conditioner, eliminating the need for complicated side shift mechanisms. The balanced suspension system on the twin rear-mounted mower-conditioner adapts to changing field contours independently of the tractor. This helps it maintain an even flotation pressure, ensuring a clean cut. A non-stop safety breakaway mechanism allows each mowing head to swing rearward independently and lift to clear obstructions to avoid potential damage. It automatically resumes the working position.
Claas The self propelled Claas Cougar takes the concept of a triple head mowerconditioner to a new level by adding two extra cutting heads that bring swath width up to 46 feet and field performance up to 50 acres per hour. Powered by a 438 h.p. DaimlerChrysler diesel, the Cougar proportions power so all five cutting heads have complete individual control and the four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering systems have all the force they need to manage the drive and processing mechanisms. Four wheel steering ensures a tight radius in the headlands. The wide swath is designed for big fields, but individual head control makes the Cougar suitable for cutting small tight fields and finishing up remaining narrow strips in big fields CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

With a 438 h.p. DaimlerChrysler engine driving the chassis and cutting mechanisms, the Claas Cougar SP uses five cutting platforms that provide a 45 foot cutting swath. But the compact design folds into an 11 foot width for transport. | CLAAS PHOTO
» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE and irregular fields. The operator can mow with as many heads as he needs and which ones he needs, from one mower to all five mowers. The telescopic technology employed throughout the Cougar lets all five heads fold up into an 11 foot transport width at the push of a button. Reliability is factored into the Cougar with ground knife cutting of spring steel. The depth of the cutterbar housing and small size of the service opening creates a rigid structure that keeps shafts and bearings in
proper alignment. To protect the cutterbar mechanism, the Safetylynk device has a defined shear point that is above the satellite pinion gears. This protects subsequent damage to the gears. A bolt in the pinion shaft holds the cutting blade in place so it cannot create further damage. The Safetylynk is designed so the pinion gear-bearing or the entire module can be replaced quickly. The unique twin telescopic outriggers are made of high-tensile, elastic, fine-grained structural steel. The alloy makes them strong yet light.
The Krone Big M 400 SP cuts a 32 foot swath, cutting 37 acres per hour, powered by a 401 h.p. Mercedes diesel. The two side mowers are mid-mounted to give the Big M a 60/40 weight distribution. | KRONE PHOTO
Krone Big M 400 The self-propelled Krone Big M 400 boasts a favourable weight distribution at 60 percent front and 40 percent rear, made possible by the midmounting points of the two side mower-conditioner units. The Big M 400 works at 37.5 acres per hour and can travel 26 m.p.h. between fields. It has a constantly variable transmission, with radial piston motors on all four drive wheels. This eliminates mechanical drivelines, low-slung differentials and U-joints.
The Big M 400 has a long wheelbase that provides a smoother ride with more uniform cutting than short wheelbase machines. Even though the wheelbase is long, the 53 degree steering angle allows for tight turns in the headlands. It folds up to 10 feet wide for transport. The 401 h.p. Mercedes diesel is expected to generate a lot of heat at maximum power, so the Big M 400 is equipped with a reversible Cleanfix fan to automatically keep the radiators free from debris. Power flows from the engine directly to the transfer box, which propor-
tions flow to the three individual mowers. Poly four-groove V-belts transmit power to the side mowers, which are each suspended by a massive coil spring in their centre of gravity. As a result, each have the best possible flotation to follow the contour of the field. Krone offers three conditioners for different conditions to remove the wax skin so that moisture evaporates faster. They include the CV V-steel tine conditioner and the CRi roller conditioner, with either two-profiled polyurethane rollers or steel rollers.

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

HORSE ERA ANTIQUES AND OTHER ITEMS: The late great statesman and horseman Grant McEwan said “the fortunes of harness makers and vehicle makers rode on the backs of working horses”. 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.

Letter of Appreciation We appreciate the convenience of the process and transaction dealing with Doug Rue, of Freshwater Land Holdings Co. Ltd., November 2011. We sold land shared by my sister, and Aunt. Being that we were selling from 3 different locations, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow up the process any. The sale was made without one in-person meeting. We are a rural farming family, who sold land conveniently, with shared owners, all by emails and minimal travel to town, only to obtain witness signatures. We feel really good about the process, the sale and our straight-forward business interaction with Doug. Overall, it was a positive experience. Thank you, Marlo & Lee Marelli

NEVER LOOK BACK!
Step into the productivity of a new Guardian™ front boom sprayer from New Holland and you won’t turn back. With the boom in front, you have a complete unobstructed view of every nozzle. This outstanding visibility means you can run the boom closer to the ground to control drift. Spray is delivered into the crop before the first tires go over it, eliminating the potential for dust to neutralize the spray. Start achieving a new level of spraying freedom and productivity.

“Those rules apply to imports the same way they apply to products moving domestically.

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

FARM POLICY | REGULATIONS
Regulations have costs, benefits BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
The debate over agricultural regulations needs a “more balanced dialogue” about the costs and benefits, says a new George Morris Centre study. Senior research associate Al Mussell said in an interview from Guelph that the debate about regulations is often simplistic. Opponents want “red tape” slashed because they argue it weighs industry down with paperwork and costs. Governments often oblige with promises of regulation weeding, including a recent Agriculture Canada vow that every new regulation enacted will see one unnecessary regulation cut. Proponents see regulations as a way for government to regulate market excesses or failings. Proposals to “streamline” or “harmonize” food regulations with the United States leads critics to complain that standards are being lowered and consumers put at risk for trade or corporate interests. “I think that simplistic division does a disservice to the debate, which is an important one,” Mussell said. “We don’t necessarily need less regulation or more regulation. We need good regulations, necessary regulations.” In his paper, Key Principles that Frame Agri-Food Regulatory Policy, Mussell argues that regulations should be created within a strategic approach: there is a cost, there must be an identified need and those being regulated must accept the need to comply. “There are many demands for regulation but only limited capacity to regulate,” he wrote. “Unequivocal statements implying that Canadian agri-food has the best regulatory system in the world, for all things all the time, should bear this in mind. “Regulation also requires public approval, at least implicitly, or those regulated will disengage from it.” Mussell cited government attempts to control tobacco use by raising taxes as ineffective regulation. It has reduced sale of legal tobacco products but led to increased illegal tobacco product smuggling that deprives governments of tax revenue but does not reduce smoking. And when governments make a display of reducing unnecessary regulation, it does not always mean costs or regulatory burden are reduced. Since 1985, federal regulations define potatoes as an agricultural commodity under the Agricultural Stabilization Act. “These could simply be struck from the books with no discernible effect,” Mussell wrote. Mussell argued there is the need for regulators to balance the need to enforce, with the views of sectors being regulated. Governments must make the case for the need to regulate without being so “overbearing” that the regulated turn against it.

Woman on tour for dairy knowledge Western Canadian Livestock Expo | Sarah Chant picked Canada because of positive observations of Canadians visiting her Australian homeland: “They seemed like nice people” BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Sarah Chant found a soft spot on top of a bale of straw to read her paperback. Wi t h c h o re s c o m p l e t e d , s h e seemed at home amid the milking activity at the Western Canadian Livestock Expo in Saskatoon April 13. Chant’s actual home is more than 20,000 kilometres away in Colac, Australia, about a two-hour drive west of Melbourne. With her formal education completed, Chant wanted to improve her knowledge of the dairy business and make international contacts, particularly with an eye on someday buying Jersey embryos. “I don’t have money to buy embryos at the minute, but I’d like to see some good cattle and in the future have some contacts if I want to buy some embryos over here,” she said. At 20, Chant is already an old hand in the business, having grown up on a dairy farm and completed a dairy apprenticeship. Her parents operate a 250 head Jersey herd, using a 15 double up dairy. The cows are pasture based. She said the biggest difference she has seen between the two countries is in the way animals are housed. “Nobody barns their cows at
We don’t have barns; cows are always pasture fed. SARAH CHANT AUSTRALIAN DAIRY PRODUCER
home,” she said. “We don’t have barns; cows are always pasture fed. I can’t imagine having heifers and cows in the shed all year. As soon as the heifers are about three weeks old, they’re out on pasture.” Cows are brought in to be milked and then let out to a paddock where they spend the night. She described her learning experience as one of “bits and pieces.” “It’s similar, but I’m learning by watching other people clip. Just picking something up at each show is always good,” she said. Chant chose Canada because of her observations of Canadians in Australia. “They always seem like nice people.” She has been in Canada for slightly more than a month and her impressions have not been altered. “I really like Canada. Everyone’s really friendly, but the climate has taken a bit to get adjusted to.” A friend suggested Chant start her
journey at the farm of Tracey and Dave Morey near Westlock, Alta. The Moreys own Unique Valley Stream, where they milk 250 Jerseys a n d h av e h o s t e d p e o p l e f ro m around the world. Because Chant’s main interest is going to shows, Tracey Morey said they have offered their place as a home base, trying to get her to as many western Canadian dairy activities as possible. A friend arranged for Chant to join the sale crew in Saskatoon and they in turn got her on the sale crew at the National Holstein Conference in Brandon. “The dairy show is a small community, so everybody kind of helps everybody else out, and she’s working for the sale (Brandon) down there,” Morey said. In August, Chant will travel to Ontario and Quebec where she will attend shows and fairs. Chant said it took her parents a while to get used to the idea of her traveling for the year halfway around the world. “They’re glad I’m doing it, getting out and learning some more. I don’t think they were overly impressed that I’d be gone for a year. Not many parents would let their daughters travel away for a year, but they’re happy I’m doing it. It’s a good opportunity.”
RECENT DAIRY RESEARCH • New research shows that milk consumed as a post-exercise recovery beverage is just as effective as commercially available sports drinks, and increases muscle protein growth. • Research has found that whey protein, found in the liquid component of milk, confers additional benefits to physical performance. Whey protein contains amino acids necessary for building and maintaining strong muscles. • Milk is also a good source of carbohydrate. Carbohydrates consumed within 30 minutes after exercising will be transported to muscles for immediate use or stored as glycogen for the next activity. Failing to consume adequate carbohydrates after exercising can lead to fatigue and muscle soreness. •
The vitamins and minerals in milk are important for maintaining health and optimizing athletic performance. Most milk contains vitamins A and D. Vitamin A maintains healthy tissue growth while vitamin D helps the body use minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.

SEEDING | FERTILIZER SALES
Push to plant canola may strain fertilizer supply Spring sales for fertilizer strong | Canadian farmers expected to plant record 20 million acres of canola in 2012 WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Canadian farmers’ zeal for planting canola may strain fertilizer supplies as near-ideal seeding conditions and high crop prices drive up planting interest in the oilseed, dealers say. This spring, farmers are expected to seed a record-high 20 million acres or more of canola, with the new-crop futures price hitting a contract high last week. Total acres of most crops are expected to rise because of dry conditions after two years of flooding. Western Canadian farmers have been snapping up nitrogen-based fertilizer and ammonium sulfate in an effort to maximize canola yields, said Dwayne Sharon, regional fertilizer manager for Agrium’s Crop Production Services. Ammonium sulfate is virtually sold out across Western Canada at the wholesale level, leaving nothing to restock for retail outlets once they sell out, he said. “I think they have enough for spring, but if a whole lot more canola gets planted here last minute, there could be some shortages.” Viterra Inc., the biggest retailer of fertilizer and seed in Western Canada, has seen brisker spring fertilizer sales during the past two and a half months than during the same period in the past two years, said Doug Wonnacott, chief operating officer of agriproducts. “It promises to be a very strong year for crop inputs,” he said. Viterra expects canola plantings of 20 to 21 million acres in Western Canada, smashing last year’s record high of 18.5 million acres. “That increase will result in significantly higher fertilizer requirements,” he said. “Because of higher commodity prices, and farmers having cash, our expectation is that application rates will be up as well, regardless of the crop.” Supplies of nitrogen-based fertilizer may run thin, depending on how aggressively farmers plant canola, Sharun said. Farmers also use nitrogen to boost soil nutrients for wheat, barley and corn. There are probably enough supplies for up to 21 million acres, but it’s doubtful there would be enough fertilizer for larger plantings, Sharun said. Viterra expects to have enough nitrogen and sulfur on hand, but it appears supplies are tight in the industry, with new customers trying to buy from Viterra, Wonnacott said. Soil is dry across the Prairies, in contrast to flooding the past two springs. This has allowed for brisk fertilizer applications and bigger areas of crops almost across the board. Those conditions don’t necessarily add up to a fertilizer shortage, said Kevin Blair, chief executive officer of an independent farm input store in Lanigan, Sask. “I think the manufacturers like to tell you it’s tighter than normal, but in reality ... if it’s tighter, it’s marginally tighter.” Rob Davies, CEO of Weyburn Inland Terminal in southern Saskatchewan, doesn’t expect a prolonged fertilizer shortage, but said
The promise of lush canola fields like this one could lead to fertilizer shortfalls if more farmers seed the crop, as is expected. | there could be bottlenecks depending on when farmers start planting and applying nutrients. “It’s a time-distribution function. So if everybody in Western Canada starts to go in one week, fertilizer supply gets difficult from a logistics standpoint.” The timing of spring rain, which stalls planting in some pockets and allows retailers to replenish supplies,
may determine the significance of logistical problems. Production snags during the winter haven’t helped. Yara International ASA’s nitrogen plant at Belle Plaine, Sask., had more downtime than usual, while Agrium’s plant in Carseland, Alta., was down for six to eight weeks this winter because of a mechanical problem. Davies said retailers hope to have
enough fertilizer on hand but are still stinging from a crash in fertilizer prices several years ago that left them holding large, pricey stocks. “I think suppliers are not going to be able to promise you all you want, when you want it, in season,” he said. Wonnacott said there should be enough canola seed to go around, but some varieties could sell out.
FILE PHOTO
Sharun expects Crop Production Services to “be down to the last bag” of canola seed. Increasing nitrogen prices, which were ignited by big U.S. corn prospects, may cap some of canola’s potential gains in seeded area. Some farmers in Saskatchewan are likely to add acres for peas and other pulse crops instead that don’t require nitrogen fertilizer, Blair said.

BANK OF CANADA | OUTLOOK
Home equity loan contributes to high household debt Economic growth forecasts | Household spending, business investment will account for Canada’s growth to end of 2014 OTTAWA (Reuters) — The Bank of Canada has raised its economic growth forecasts for the first three quarters of 2012 and repeated a warning about high household debt. The report, which pointed to the popularity of home equity lines of credit (HELOC) as part of the problem, came a day after the bank held its key interest rate at one percent. The bank surprised markets by saying some modest withdrawal of monetary stimulus “may become appropriate” to bring inflation to its two percent target over the medium term. An improvement in sentiment due
to a stronger U.S. outlook and European action to resolve its debt crisis explains the stronger growth forecasts for Canada, the bank said. Although there is a reduced chance of an “extreme negative event” in Europe, the bank still flagged the euro zone’s debt woes as the biggest risk to the Canadian outlook. Household spending and business investment will account for almost all of Canada’s moderate economic growth through to the end of 2014, the central bank said in its quarterly Monetary Policy Report. Canadians will start to save a little
more and growth in residential investment will slow over the next 2 1/2 years, the bank said. However, it sees the ratio of household debt to income rising further from near-record highs as spending remains strong relative to gross domestic product. The bank, which has repeatedly expressed concern about Canadians taking on too much debt at current low rates, said borrowing through HELOCs had mushroomed to $64 billion in 2010 from $8 billion in 2001. This type of debt has funded about three percent of aggregate consumer
spending in Canada in recent years, up from less than one percent in 2001. “Home equity extracted through additional borrowing cannot fund higher consumption indefinitely,” the report said. The bank raised its forecasts for each of the first and second quarters to 2.5 percent, annualized, from 1.8 percent in January. It also revised upward its third-quarter growth projections but lowered the forecast for the fourth quarter and throughout 2013. Also contributing to growth is a projection of robust business investment, in addition to moderate
growth in household spending. High oil prices typically boost incomes in Canada but are unfavourable right now because prices for the type of crude Canada exports have fallen while those for its oil imports have risen. Exports will remain weak and are not expected to regain their prerecession peak until the end of 2013. Government spending as a contribution to growth is actually seen as a notch stronger this year than anticipated in January, despite the cutbacks in recent federal and provincial budgets.

TRANSPORTATION | RAILWAYS
Shippers worry about potash plugging rail lines Increased fertilizer demand | Government attempts to create a system of shipper-railway service agreements doubted BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU
Farmers and other commodity shippers forced to rely on Canada’s two national railways are worried about the flood of potash soon to be pouring through the system. And if crop production keeps growing in volume and the commodity boom continues, will farmers and others find they can’t get their products to market, no matter how much customers want them? That was a concern raised at the Canada Grains Council’s annual meeting in Winnipeg April 16. “What happens when we recover from the recession and we are no longer at 80 percent of our volume and we have $15 billion of new investment going into potash mines in Saskatchewan,” asked Roger Larson, the president of the Canadian Fertilizer Institute, in a presentation. Other fertilizer manufacturing is being expanded too with almost all aimed at the export market. “This means new volumes, all of it exported, how do we get rail infrastructure and our transportation systems to match what we’re putting into the ground…. We need commitments to improvements.” Inland Terminals Association of Canada executive director Kevin Hursh also raised the potash spectre. Canadan Pacific Railway agricultural products marketing vice-president Stephen Whitney said there need not be a tradeoff between crop and fertilizer shipping. He said the railways could handle the increased traffic. “We’re well ahead of the curve and we intend to stay ahead of the curve,” said Whitney. “These are long lead-time projects.

terms of corridor investment.” Farmers and other commodity shippers have often complained about railway service and many have described the Prairies’ two-railway system as a “duopoly,” in which neither company has to compete hard to get business. Larson expressed pessimism about government attempts to create a system of shipper-railway service agreements, and he described the situation as caught in a logjam of uncompromising positions.

Grain handling to improve post-CWB CWB changes | Having the two systems together beneficial: experts BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU
Eliminating the Canadian Wheat Board’s conflicting signals will increase the efficiencies of the grain handling system, said railroad and grain company officials at the Canada Grains Council’s annual meeting. It’s not an outrageous claim, said the acting head of the University of Manitoba’s Transport Institute. “Having the two systems together in a commercial way will be much better,” said Paul Earl in an interview. “There’s no question about it.” Jean Marc Ruest, a Richardson International vice-president and chair of the grains council, and Stephen Whitney, a Canadian Pacific R a i l w a y v i c e -p r e s i d e n t , s a i d arranging transportation and handling of former board grains in the same manner as other crops will

make the system work better. “As one system, I think that it will translate into one way of conducting the sales and logistics of that com-
modity,” said Ruest. “We used to have, I would suggest, two pipelines operating through the same facilities, which created a number of inefficiencies. Now we have one pipeline that we can manage from start to finish that will increase efficiencies and I would say increase the size of the pipeline…. “We’ve actually created more space in the Canadian grain handling system.” Earl said there were conflicts between the commercial system, which is used by non-board crops, as well as by other commodities running down the country’s two railway lines, and the commandand-control system employed by the wheat board. A single set of elevators, rail lines and terminals was being given signals by two different marketing mechanisms and it led to frequent misallocations of rail cars and storage capacity, costing farmers money, he said.
“The panel has boiled down into a laying out of positions and no-go points where one side will not continue a discussion any further on a particular subject matter and therefore it gets them off the table,” he said. “I think there’s a real possibility of a hollow report.” Larson, Whitney and other industry and farmer representatives said during the meeting they hoped to see commercial agreements and collaboration to create an efficient system. Canada Grains Council chair Jean
Marc Ruest said commercial collaboration is the best way to ensure the rail system operates best. Whitney said he believed a collaborative approach in which all the various players in the system work together would have the best results. But Larson said he is unconvinced that a voluntary, non-regulated approach will work with the railways. “Has there been any progress? It’s questionable whether anything of substance has been achieved,” he said.

Logging could cause soil erosion, runoff for farmers Castle-Crown Wilderness Coalition | Alberta government’s logging decision questioned BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
The latest volley in an ongoing protest of logging in southwestern Alberta’s Castle River headwaters region was fired April 18 when a coalition announced plans to pursue a judicial review. The provincial government’s decision to allow clear-cut logging over a three-year period in parts of the Castle crown forest near Beaver Mines, Alta., has been under protest for months by a group of local residents and environmental and wildlife protection groups. Logging by Spray Lake Sawmills of Cochrane, Alta., began in early February after protesters blocking the
road and equipment were arrested. Charges were later dropped. The Castle-Crown Wilderness Coalition now says it will initiate a review of the Alberta government’s decision to allo–w clear-cut logging. From an agricultural perspective, logging in the Castle region could affect soil erosion, runoff and water quality for farm, ranch and municipal users downstream. Sarah Elmeligi, a senior conservation planner with the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, said last week that logging in the region, which is part of the larger Oldman River watershed, is likely to affect downstream agricultural users. “The headwaters in the Oldman are responsible for feeding two mil-

Clearcut logging in the Castle area of southwestern Alberta is a source of controversy. | lion people downstream, and that includes a lot of agricultural producers, obviously, and cows and farms,” she said during an informat i o n s e s s i o n o r ga n i z e d by t h e Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs. “Protecting the headwaters is essential to maintaining agricultural productivity across the grasslands and into Saskatchewan.” Wildland disturbance consultant Marie-Pierre Rogeau, who has been contracted by Spray Lake Sawmills and the Alberta government to do a fire history study in the Castle region, said logging can be a useful tool in establishing breaks to limit potential damage from forest fires. The Castle area under examination was last burned in 1936. Spray Lake is logging some of this forest, an estimated 3,700 loads of lumber, and although Rogeau said firebreaks are not the main purpose of the logging, cut blocks may serve a future fire retardant purpose. “My vision of the cut blocks, they are in a good place for a fuel break,” she said. “The fact that they went and put the cut blocks over the youngest forest is actually a very good step in the
right direction.” The natural fire cycle, caused by lightning strikes and other natural occurrences, used to be 40 years, Rogeau said. However, there have been no major fires in the region in almost 80 years because of provincial fire suppression policies. Professional biologist Lorne Fitch said access roads built by logging companies are among the most damaging effects. Vehicles and off-highway vehicle recreation gain access through the road systems and then damage habitat and contribute to erosion into streams and rivers. Additional sediment has resulted in drastic decreases in native fish populations, a decrease he said is likely to continue. Downstream sediment also reduces water quality for agricultural and municipal users. “Sediment can persist within streams for decades, maybe even centuries after logging,” said Fitch. He recommended a shift to sustainable forest management, where research and modelling will inform the province and the public about potential effects of logging before projects are undertaken. “We need to take wealth from the
BARB GLEN PHOTO
forests in less damaging ways.” Elmeligi said the Castle crown area was designated a “special place” by the province in 1998, and an integrated management plan indicated wildlife protection would have priority over industrial and commercial ventures. Other policies indicate multiple use and timber management are priorities for the government. A Castle Special Place Working Group recommended the area be given a wildland-provincial park designation, which remains the priority for CPAWS and other groups, Elmeligi said. A wildland designation would allow grazing leases to continue, as well as all-terrain vehicle use on designated trails. However, it would also allow management of the region “to prioritize ecological limits,” she said. As it stands, government sanctioned clear-cut logging indicates a breakdown between policy and good forest management. “We have our work cut out for us. It’s not easy being green, or anything that’s not blue,” said Elmeligi in reference to the Progressive Conservative party’s trademark blue colour.

Researchers find genetic marker for virus May help develop PRRS-resistant hog breeds | ‘This is one of the biggest advances I have seen’ says Kansas State virologist BY MARGARET EVANS
FACTS ABOUT PORCINE REPRODUCTIVE AND RESPIRATORY SYNDROME
FREELANCE WRITER
LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Researchers have discovered a genetic marker that identifies pigs with reduced susceptibility to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS). The breakthrough promises to be a game changer for pig breeders. It was a collaborative effort involving Kansas State University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Pork Board, Genome Canada and other academic facilities, and was published in the Journal of Animal Science. “This discovery is what you call a first-first,” said Raymond “Bob” Rowland, a virologist and professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology at KSU. “This discovery is the first of its kind for PRRS but also for any large food animal infectious disease. I have worked in the field for 20 years and this is one of the biggest advances I have seen.” Rowland and researchers Jack Dekkers from Iowa State University and Joan Lunney with the USDA’s Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, discovered a genetic marker called a quantitative trait locus (QTL), which is associated with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus susceptibility. It’s the first step to controlling and eliminating the virus. “With PRRS, there isn’t a magic bullet,” said Rowland. “If we can show that pigs can still retain weight gain and performance and if we can reduce the virus from spreading, then those two factors will make a significant contribution. “(The research) was initiated by Joan Lenney,” said Rowland, who is co-director of the PRRS Host Genetics Consortium (PHGC) and director of the U.S.-funded PRRS Co-ordinated Agriculture Project. “She was the spearhead in 2006 to look at pig genetics. I joined in 2007 and we put together PHGC. We needed to do big science and there was no single source of funding to accomplish this. So in forming this consortium, we collected money from (a variety of sources). We took this huge pool of money and finally we could do some decent genetics. Genome Canada and Genome Alberta are our latest partners. We started working with them about a year ago. The PHGC takes fundamental science and turns it into utility.” Most of the project’s experimental work was done at KSU’s Large Animal Research Center, where the researchers obtained multiple measurements of pigs, including growth, weight gain, performance and virus measurements. They started in 2007 with 600 pigs
• According to The Pig Site, PRRS was first isolated and classified in 1991. It was once called the mystery swine disease and has also been known as blue ear disease. • Clinical signs of infection include loss of appetite, elevated temperature, late-term abortions, still births, weak piglets, discolouration (blueing of the ears), coughing and other respiratory signs, early farrowing and prolonged anoestrus. • PRRS virus infected two million pigs in China in 2006-07, killing 20 percent of their stock. • The PRRS virus costs the U.S. pork industry more than $600 million a year, while Genome Alberta says the combination of PRRS and porcine circovirus associated disease costs the Canadian pork industry $100 million in annual losses. They are the two most important infectious disease problems in swine. Evolution of the enemy • Raymond Rowland of Kansas State University said PRRS has always existed, but pig production and management have changed. • Starting in the 1970s and 1980s, modern intensive pig production in barns created the right environment for the virus to not only thrive but adapt to the modern pig farming methods of high concentration in a confined environment. With the use of artificial insemination, the virus can efficiently transfer from sow to offspring. MICHELLE HOULDEN ILLUSTRATION
and now, working with Genome Canada, have collected samples from 2,300 pigs for a total of more than 100,000 samples. The university sent samples to the USDA for genomic DNA preparations to identify differences in more than 60,000 genes. The data was then transferred to ISU for genetic analysis that led to the discovery of the QTL. The researchers at ISU created a common database so that researchers and breeders could access all material at multiple locations over the long term. “My job is in virology,” Rowland said. “We can combine state of the art genetics and virology. This is what is so unique about this approach. When you do a genetic study, you look at the pigs, take their DNA and
find those markers on the DNA that correlate with disease. But you don’t know why. The pig is sick or it could have an allergy. The first time we took the virus and put it into pigs, we took multiple measurements over time and we got some very good quantitative data on disease traits.” Rowland said the markers they found were favourable for developing breeding programs. By understanding the genetics more fully, producers could apply that knowledge to breeding animals with less susceptibility to PRRS. The research showed that only a small percentage of the pig population has the favourable disease trait with reduced susceptibility so, through careful selective breeding, it will be possible to increase that segment of the pig population.
Pigs infected with PRRS are expensive for farmers, not only in care but also in feed costs. They eat but don’t thrive or gain weight. Rowland calculated that production systems that have PRRS suffer losses of 10 percent. “I see this not so much a ray at the end of the tunnel as a positive step forward,” he said. “You take the best vaccine and line it with the best genetics, best diagnostic test and best management practices. Then we will see headway.” It’s still uncertain whether the discovery of this QTL opens up opportunities to address the susceptibility of other livestock species to diseases. If it offers resistance to PRRS, how does it function in relation to influenza or the PCAD virus? “This QTL marks pigs that give a very

strong vaccine response,” he said. “But every pig responds differently to a vaccine. (With this discovery), we can ask very specific, answerable questions about this QTL.” He said Genome Canada has been a significant partner in the effort to reduce incidence of PRRS. “ The more we can cooperate together, the better this will get.” The next step is to find more genes, take the research into the field on farms and look for more genetic profiles. “The unique aspect of this project is that we have been looking at genes that may provide long-term resistance to a lot of infections,” said Rowland. “This is very important for animal health because there are a lot of diseases for which there are no cures and no vaccines. Now we have a tool to study these diseases.”

Clippers get workout before Saskatoon dairy show Preparing calf | Youth eager to get heifer looking ship-shape BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Practice makes perfect, but Corban Friesen’s mother would be excused for thinking it can sometimes be taken too far. The night before showing his Holstein calf earlier this month, the twoyear-old boy was caught clipping his own hair in the bathroom of his parent’s home in Drake, Sask., much to his mother Nancy’s chagrin. She tried blending the primitive coiffure, but decided the only option was shaving her son’s head squeaky clean. “I guess it’s only hair and it’s a boy,” she said with a sigh. O n the positive side, Friesen helped clip his Holstein calf before he participated in the Pee Wee Showmanship class at the Western Canadian Livestock Expo in Saskatoon April 13-14. Bald as a stone, young Friesen’s smile beamed as he tugged his calf around the show ring, looking up at the judge staring down. Six other children were also pulled along in the eight years and younger class. While the number of participants in the Youth Dairy Show remained about the same as last year, the rest of the two day event was about half as strong. Many regulars opted out of Saskatchewan’s dairy fair this year to attend the National Holstein Convention in Brandon April 18-21. Nicole and Ian Crosbie of Caron, Sask., competed in both. Showing cattle involves months of preparation, many hours on the road and considerable expenditures, but Nicole said back-to-back shows are also difficult for the cows. “When you show cows, you want their udders right full of milk, so it can be hard to bag them two weeks in a row. It’s harder to get the udders looking as good two weeks in a row. If they’re fresher, it’s easier,” she said. “Heifers, when they’re tied up and fed all day long instead of being in a pen or a corral ,can get kind of fat. You have to watch that because it’s a major disadvantage for animals to be fat in the show ring.” Crosbie likens the best milking cows to competitors in the profes-

being too skinny. The better condition they’re in, the more efficiently they’re producing milk.” However, an advantage to attending back-to-back events is that animals get used to the process. “Yesterday our cows were not as settled. The one would not lay down,
which is not good and they’re not getting as much fill from eating and not making as much milk.” The Crosbies had one day at home before they had to repack and head for Brandon. She said premium showing conditions involve adequate preparation
time for the cows. “You’re there getting the cows to settle in. You want them to eat more because you want them to have more rib. You have to get them all clipped again during the week, wash them every day and milk them twice a day, of course.”

RESEARCH | DOGS
Guardian dogs may be culprits behind cysts in sheep Harbouring tapeworm | Infected dogs shed eggs, which can then spread to sheep and render lamb meat useless BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
Guardian dogs are useful in protecting sheep flocks from predators, but the dogs themselves may contain enemies that can affect lamb producers’ bottom lines. Recent research from the University of Guelph has found that the prevalence of C. ovis, also known as sheep measles, caused an increase in lamb carcass condemnations between 2003 and 2011. C. ovis is the intermediate stage of the taenia ovis tapeworm in dogs and must infect sheep to complete its life cycle. The parasite causes cysts in meat. Carcasses found with cysts are condemned, and producers lose the entire cost of the lamb. Margaret Cooke, executive director of Alberta Lamb Producers, said the reasons for the increase in C. ovis are unknown.
This is a dog tapeworm and so you have to treat your dogs. Sheep just happen to be the intermediate host. MARGARET COOKE ALBERTA LAMB PRODUCERS
“We don’t know why (there are more), but the remedy is to have more producers worm their dogs,” said Cooke. The Guelph study traced 237 carcasses condemned in Ontario abattoirs between 2009 and 2011 and found they came from 133 farms across Canada. Infection was found in all provinces except Atlantic Canada. The odds of carcass condemnation due to C. ovis were four times higher on farms where dead sheep were
allowed to be scavenged. Producers who did not bury, compost or burn dead stock had a 12 times greater risk of having animals condemned with C. ovis. Cooke said the problem might in part stem from misunderstanding about the parasite. “There’s still a perception out there that it’s a sheep worm and if you worm your sheep, you’ll be fine. No, we won’t. This is a dog tapeworm and so you have to treat your dogs. Sheep just happen to be the
intermediate host.” Several oral products are available to deworm dogs at a cost of about $8 per dose, and all require a veterinary prescription. Frequency of treatment depends on dogs’ access to sheep flocks, corrals, pastures, food and water supplies. Taenia, the tapeworm at issue, can infect any member of the canine family, so guard dogs, house pets and visiting dogs can potentially spread it by defecating in areas where sheep might ingest parasite eggs through
their feed and water. Veterinarian Kathy Parker said in the ALP newsletter that the parasite eggs can live up to six months in the environment, depending on conditions. Sheep do not show symptoms of infection, but it becomes obvious when cysts show up as white spots or “measles” in the meat after slaughter. There is no human health risk related to the cysts because the parasite cannot infect humans. “But imagine cutting into your roast and finding a cyst there,” said Cooke. “It wouldn’t be very pleasant.” Dogs do not usually show signs of infection either, but tapeworms in their intestines can shed up to 250,000 eggs per day in the dog’s stool, said Parker. Once dewormed of taenia, dogs can become reinfected by eating an affected sheep carcass. “Makes you think twice about feeding the guardian dogs those dead lambs, doesn’t it,” Parker said.
Reproductive efficiency ANIMAL HEALTH
JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

our major criteria determine profitability for beef cow-calf producers: • Calf crop percentage: This is the percentage of calves weaned per cow exposed to the bull. It is primar ily a reproductive issue, although calf health and reproductive health are also involved. • Weaning weight of calves: Calves’ ability to grow will determine the amount of pounds of calf that are available to sell. However, many studies have demonstrated that this factor is less important than reproduction. • Annual cow costs: This is the cost of maintaining a cow and is largely determined by the cost of feed and especially winter feeding programs. Many producers have used alternative feeding strategies to minimize winter feed costs. • Selling price of calves: This is an obvious profitability factor. Once we get beyond all the market forces, this probably has at least some relationship to the potential quality of the calves in terms of carcass quality and other factors. There is an old adage that states reproduction is five times more important than growth rate and that reproduction is 10 times more important than carcass quality when determining profitability for the cow-calf producer. But is it really that important? The calf crop percentage is an estimate of the reproductive efficiency of the cow herd. It is affected by a number of factors: • reproductive fertility of the herd (pregnancy rate)
• reproductive diseases that may cause abortions or infertility • calving management (to prevent stillbirths) • calf mortality from birth to weaning (calf management) With the exception of the last category, most of the factors affecting the calf crop are reproductive. Many studies have demonstrated that the calf crop percentage is highly important in determining profitability. One such study found that selling a light-weight calf that was born later in the calving season was more profitable than selling a non-pregnant cow and replacing her. Researchers also concluded that management practices that maintain a greater percentage of mature cows in the herd were extremely profitable. If this is true, we should probably examine why cows are removed from the herd. A study at the University of Alberta showed that 51.3 percent of cows were culled for reproductive failure, 12.1 percent for calf survival problems and 10.9 percent for calving problems. Of course, all of these culling factors are directly associated with the calf crop percentage. There is little doubt that maximizing reproductive success is highly important to the bottom line. The ultimate goal is to have 95 percent of the cow herd pregnant, and ideally two-thirds of the pregnant cows should calve within the first 21 days of the calving cycle. To attain these goals, it is important that the cow herd is in good body condition. This will maximize the probability that the cows begin their estrus cycles early in the breeding season. A breeding soundness exam performed by a veterinarian will help ensure that the bull has an adequate scrotal circumference and fertile sperm. John Campbell is head of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

U.S. bioproduct registry | U.S. policy helps but Canadians want similar plan here STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU
There are now more than 10,000 products qualifying for preferred procurement under USDA’s BioPreferred program. TOM VILSACK U.S. AGRICULTURE SECRETARY

Canadians who produce bioproducts, whether it be canola oil lubricants or construction materials made from hemp, are advised to register for a U.S. government program called BioPreferred. An agri-technology expert in Ontario says it represents a tremendous opportunity for Canada’s bioeconomy. In February, U.S. president Barack Obama urged federal agencies to buy bioproducts such as lubricants, paints, soaps and building materials as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture BioPreferred program. In early April, U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack expanded on this directive, announcing new categories of BioPreferred products. “There are now more than 10,000 products qualifying for preferred procurement under USDA’s BioPreferred program,” Vilsack said in a news release. “Including previously designated items, these 13 additional biobased product categories will help feed the president’s initiative by offering even more products with federal procurement preference.” The new categories include floor coverings, wood and concrete stains and asphalt removers. Besides being a procurement policy, the USDA BioPreferred program also administers a voluntary labelling program so companies can differentiate their biobased products in the market. The government created BioPreferred in the 2002 farm bill, but Obama’s actions signal his administration wants to fully implement the program to promote the U.S. bio-economy and increase energy security. Gord Surgeoner, president of Ontario Agri-Food Technologies, a non-profit focused on creating a prosperous and sustainable agriculture sector, agreed that the U.S. gov-
ernment is serious about the bioeconomy. “Bioproducts create a lot of jobs,” he said, adding that the U.S. government spends $50 billion annually on procurement. Surgeoner said Canadian companies will also benefit because BioPreferred doesn’t stop at the U.S. border. “Any Canadian company can apply and be on the BioPreferred list and not be discriminated against, under the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) rules.” Surgeoner may see BioPreferred as an opportunity for Canada, but Stan Blade, chief executive officer of Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions, a publicly funded corporation that supports bioresearch, isn’t so sure. Several Canadian companies, including Alberta firms, have registered for the program. However, Canada’s biocompanies, which produce fibre matting, geo-textiles and insulation, could be left in the dust because Canada’s government doesn’t have a similar program. “Canada is not there,” he said. “Ag Canada has been given the responsibility to develop a national bioproducts strategy, (but) truthfully, it’s like an afterthought.” Blade said the U.S. military has its own bioprocurement policy and some European Union countries, such as France, also have programs. Surgeoner agreed that Canada’s biosector needs certification so that companies can promote and sell bioproducts both domestically and out of the country. However, he doesn’t want to the federal government to “reinvent the wheel.” “In my opinion, we should just work off the U.S. system,” he said. “I think it’s very important (to) have a third party verification. And in my opinion, the USDA is as good as anybody in the world…. If I’m sending (a product) to Korea, I want to have a USDA as a third party verifier. But I would also like to (have) a
Canada brand and have a big maple leaf on it…. That’s something that Canada needs to do.” While the U.S. government is a robust advocate of the bio-economy, Canadian policy makers and the public might not be ready to support a preferential procurement program. Blade said policy makers might assume government agencies will be “forced to accept poor performance at maybe higher price.” However, he said that’s not true. “That is absolutely a misconception. They (bioproducts) can compete. And the standards are so rigorous…. (It) has to be equal to or a level above the performance of (conventional) products in the marketplace.” Despite its exceptional oil wealth, Alberta has placed a “big bet” on developing its bio-economy, Blade said. According to its website, Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions invested $56 million in more than 100 projects in 2011. It has invested money to study agricultural feedstocks and funded a University of Alberta led project called the bioconversion network. “Can you produce some interesting starches and sugars from triticale? We’re doing the same thing in some of the oilseed crops,” Blade said. Other groups are working on other steps in the value chain. “Taking those feedstocks, tearing them apart and putting them into the kind of molecules that people are going to pay for.” Manitoba is also betting on the potential of the bioeconomy. Last year it released its bioproducts strategy, which committed $20 million to support the industry over a decade. “Speaking from an Alberta example, we’ve been very clear that we want to develop this part of industry, both for agriculture and forestry,” Blade said. “We have a significant amount of biomass being produced…. We think we can change the value of those by applying some technology.”

Quebec bioproduct firm credits certification for soaring sales A Quebec company that makes lubricants from canola oil has doubled its sales in the last year, thanks in part to a U.S. certification program for bioproducts. Last year Bio-Lub Canada of Trois Rivieres, which makes diesel fuel conditioners, chain saw oil, penetrating oil and biodegreasers, satisfied the criteria for a U.S. Department of Agriculture program called BioPreferred.
The third party certification, which allows Bio-Lub Canada to use a “USDA Certified Biobased Product” label, has been a boon for the company, said BioLub president Michel Cordeau. “We had the USDA label and that’s the way we started to sell the product. It’s working really well. From May 2011 we doubled our sales,” he said. Sales in February were six times higher than February 2011, he added.
Bio-Lub Canada, which has been in business for five years, pursued certification to reassure customers, and critics, that its products are made from plants and are biodegradable. “We didn’t want to do greenwashing,” Cordeau said. “We didn’t (want) to have a smart person to come behind us and say they aren’t really green.” Bio-Lub buys high oleic canola oil from a Montreal company, which
sources canola from Western Canada. It sells its products to an assortment of businesses but has chosen to focus on the Canadian market, despite its USDA seal of approval. “We wanted to plant ourselves really well in Canada, then we’ll play around (elsewhere),” Cordeau said. “We now have someone in Saskatchewan marketing our products.” Cordeau chose USDA certifications because Canada doesn’t have a com-
parable program. “In Canada, we’re a very, very rich country, but we are very poor in certification,” Cordeau said. It is a generation behind Europe when it comes to bio-based products, he added. “Europe is about 30 years ahead of Canada. We’re a little slow here. The oldest certification that is in Europe is the German one called Blue Angel. They’ve been around since 1977.”

Canadian land values A see hefty price gains Prices jump but are not yet in danger of bursting BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Saskatchewan is leading the nation in rising farmland values, but total values in the province still trail behind other parts of the country. Farm Credit Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest report on farmland values, which was released last week, says the average value of farmland in Saskatchewan increased by 10.1 percent during the second half of 2011, ahead of the national average of 6.9 percent. Farmland values in the province have been rising since 2002, with increases of 11.6 and 2.7 percent reported in the two previous six-month periods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you do look at farmland values in Alberta from 2000-05 and you compare that to Saskatchewan, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see that Alberta has increased quite a bit faster than Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? said JeanPhilippe Gervais, a senior agricultural economist with FCC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saskatchewan is playing catch-up a little bit to Alberta.â&#x20AC;? In the latest report, numbers increased in nine provinces and remained unchanged in Newfoundland and Labrador. FCC reports that farmland values in Alberta in the second half of 2011 rose an average of 4.5 percent, following gains of four and 1.4 percent in the previous two re-porting periods. The report notes high demand for irrigated land for specialty crops and increases for land for hay and cattle production. The report attributes growth in Saskatchewan to positive crop receipts for canola and the oil and gas industries, combined with low interest rates. With Saskatchewan values growing
an average of 1.8 percent per month recently, FCC says the increases are similar to those of several corn and soybean states, which are areas that Gervais said some economists have pegged as the next â&#x20AC;&#x153;bubble.â&#x20AC;? However, he said there are major differences between the Canadian and American values, citing a report that farmland values in Iowa rose 30 percent in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pattern in land values in the U.S. Midwest is totally different than the Canadian Prairies,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen some significant increases last year in the U.S. that tops way over what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in Saskatchewan.â&#x20AC;? Flooded areas in Saskatchewan in 2010 saw a resurgence in sales in the period, while areas that experienced flooding in 2011 had â&#x20AC;&#x153;limited sales.â&#x20AC;? For Manitoba, which saw a 1.9 percent gain in the latest report, following increases of 2.4 and 1.3 percent, Gervais said FCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next set of numbers will give a better picture of the influence of flooding. For the latter half of 2011, the report notes increases in grain farming areas, with demand in the southcentral, southwestern and northwestern regions of the province. Gervais said a rise in interest rates toward the end of 2012 or early 2013 is likely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously this is going to have an impact on producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bottom line and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have an impact on the farmland market, but if we see a moderate increase at a slow pace towards the end of this year, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this is an issue that producers need to worry about,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue that needs to be monitored though, for sure, and factored into any business plan for the next year or year after.â&#x20AC;?

re you relying solely on Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security for your retirement needs? What are the chances that CPP and OAS will be around when todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young people retire? Life insurance might provide added security. A rapidly aging population and longer life spans are placing pressure on government managed and funded retirement plans. There is a demographic shift in which the ratio of young tax-paying people to retired people is de-creasing. T h e f e d e ra l g ov e r n m e nt ha s responded by making changes to bolster the system. Canadians aged 60 to 70 and their employers are now required to continue contributing to CPP, even if the person is collecting pension benefits. The government has initiated a number of studies into significantly overhauling CPP. At first, this resulted in changes to the funding of the government-run
pension system. More recently, the government called for public and industry input around a shift to a privately funded system through major insurance pools. However, Canadians have always had the option of supplementing their retirement income through private insurance. The participating whole life insurance product, also known as par whole life, has been available since Confederation. The par whole life policy lasts the entire lifetime of the insured as long as the premiums are paid to keep the policy in force. As an incentive to stay in for the long term, the insured gets to participate in the investment returns and growth of the fund through dividend payments. All dividends attributed to a policy are considered part of the policy, and
the growth within the policy is tax exempt. As an investment, all the dividends and increases to the cash surrender value are vested so that the valuesâ&#x20AC;&#x153;cannot go backwards.â&#x20AC;? Money can be withdrawn from the policy or the policy can be used as collateral security for loans from a financial institution. The funds can then be used to pay for your retirement, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you choose. An opportunity exists with the family farm if it is set up as a limited corporation. No CPP deductions are required if family members take their income in dividends. The corporation can invest the equivalent payments into a par whole life insurance policy. Family members can then draw from the policy cash value either through direct withdrawal or as collateral for a loan. Members get the full pay-out at far higher returns than they would through CPP, and in most instances, on a more tax-advantaged basis. With a par whole life policy, the cash surrender value is there when you need extra funds, and upon the death of the insured, the remaining value is added to the death benefit and transferred to a designated beneficiary tax-free.

Many hands make light work Women’s organizations | Combine energy with educators and groups with similar concerns
Beware of food and drug interactions BY DAN YATES

SASKATOON NEWSROOM
FREELANCE WRITER
RUSSELL, Man. — In an age of shrinking budgets, women’s organizations must take more advantage of human resources in their communities, says a Manitoba educator. Instead of “working in a scarcity mentality,” women’s groups should combine forces with schools, seniors’ organizations and youth movements to further their aims, said Strini Reddy, who spoke at the Manitoba Women’s Institute annual rural educational conference in Russell April 13-14. “The more you have a scarcity of financial resources, the more we have to look at strengthening our people resources.” Interviewed before the meeting, Reddy said MWI might consider working with schools to deal with social problems, such as bullying and mental health. He said MWI can provide “a very strong complement to the work of schools” because both have common goals for improving lives. “When communities work together, we have a much greater opportunity to collaborate to solve the issues that are facing our present day society,” said Reddy. “My belief is, and continues to be, that education is a responsibility for the whole society and that schools are but one integral part of that.” An educator for 42 years, Reddy taught in four countries before arriving in Manitoba in 1971 to teach in The Pas. He eventually became superintendent of Frontier School Division and is a former president and executive director of the Manitoba Association of School Superintendents. Retired since 1998, Reddy today speaks frequently to groups about social issues. He said whenever he talks about early childhood care, the audience is almost entirely female. That’s significant because it shows how deeply involved women are in childhood development and education, he said. “Mothers have a very powerful role in our lives and they have tremendous talents and abilities which, put together, can produce some very good results.” A member of the Order of Manitoba, Reddy recalled his own mother in South Africa who insisted her 12 children all receive an education, even though she herself had none. Growing up in apartheid South Africa, Reddy became passionate about the need for social justice. Today, he and a local group of expatriates help support AIDS orphans in his home province of

KwaZulu-Natal in partnership with Rotary clubs in Winnipeg and South Africa. He said organizations such as MWI provide an important link with women’s groups in other countries who are fighting for fundamental social programs, such as poverty relief, health care and education. “It’s part of their agenda and they really care about what’s going on in their communities.”
Joan Clement, MWI incoming president, said her group belongs to Associated Country Women of the World, an international body headquartered in London, England, and affiliated with rural women’s organizations in more than 70 countries. Its programs range from supporting child care in Brazil to skills training in India. MWI’s website describes itself as “a rural women’s organization dedicated to personal development, family, agriculture, rural development and community action — locally and globally.” The fact that MWI belongs to organizations such as AC WW shows it has a much broader outlook than just women’s issues in Manitoba, said Clement.
“We certainly have the focus to be concerned about issues affecting women and families throughout the world.” Issues of concern Resolutions presented during the MWI conference covered subjects ranging from local to international: • test newborns for fetal alcohol syndrome disorder • label food containing genetically modified organisms • fund native women’s groups • demand Canada use the international date form (year, month, day) as the official numeric date field for all legal and government documents, as other countries do
A little grapefruit in the morning could be the source of a few aches and pains later in the day. It’s a problem that can occur when the fruit is consumed alongside some commonly prescribed medications, said Saskatoon pharmacist Amanda Jacobson. She said the fruit can interact with medications, including those taken for cholesterol management, resulting in increased side-effects. “I don’t eat a whole lot of grapefruits, so oftentimes I just assume nobody else does either,” said Jacobson. “It’s a thing that we should probably be reminding people of.” Jacobson, also a registered dietitian, addressed the Manitoba Women’s Institute conference in Russell, Man., April 15 about drug-food interactions. “I try to focus on the different types of interactions there are,” she said. “So not just drug-drug interactions, but what kind of interactions can occur between food and the medications you take or herbal products, natural medicines ... because that seems to be a huge area that people are getting into now.” Interactions with medications can occur as people take supplements like omega 3 fatty acids, glucosamine, calcium and vitamin D. Jacobson said it’s not fear mongering. For the most part, supplements like calcium and vitamin D aren’t affecting people’s prescription medications. More often, it’s the other way around, she said. Understanding how they interact, and when to take medication and supplements, is important. A calcium supplement can be taken anytime of day, but absorbs better with a meal, said Jacobson. Bisphosphonates, prescribed for bone health, need to be taken on their own. “I think we’re in such an information age. People are wanting to know more about their medications, wanting to know more about their health,” she said. “Fifteen, 20 years ago, we didn’t have all these different herbal or natural medicines or complementary treatments that we do now. People are looking more into those kinds of things as an alternative to taking their prescription medications.” The internet is a useful tool for curious patients, but might not be accessible for everyone. For those, she recommended talking to the local pharmacist. “If you have a concern or you have a question, ask your pharmacist, ask your doctor, because sometimes we try to point or highlight the more common things that people should know about but sometimes we miss those things too,” said Jacobson.

An avulsion fracture occurs when a small piece of bone is torn away from the main bony structure. The fracture generally occurs at a point where a ligament or tendon attaches the muscle to the underlying bone. Children and teenagers are most susceptible as their bones are not as hard as older adults. These fractures are generally caused by a sudden outburst of muscle activity such as jumping over hurdles or kicking into high gear at the end of a race. There are different types of avulsion fractures of the hip depending on which muscle group and bone are affected. A doctor can diagnose it
from X-rays and by examining the patient to see where the pain is located. The pain will have occurred as soon as your daughter landed on her feet, and she would have had to cease dancing immediately. Afterward, she would have a severe limp, although she would probably still be capable of walking. The pain would be aggravated by stretching the affected muscle group. Treatment involves the RICE technique or relative rest, ice, compression with an elastic bandage if possible and elevation. These measures decrease bruising and swelling and assist in the healing process. Anti-inflammatory medication such as NSAIDS may be needed for the first week. Your daughter may

also need to walk with crutches until the pain goes away. She should be able to return to her dancing in about eight or nine weeks as long as she no longer feels any pain when exercising. The only way to minimize risk is to avoid sports or dancing that involve sudden jumps. You and your daughter will have to decide how important the dancing is to her, relative to a small risk of another avulsion fracture occurring. Perhaps the dance instructor may be able to advise on a technique for performing the jumps that would put less strain on the muscles and bones.

t the end of the day, the bottom line going forward is that we all use clichés. That’s why this i s n o t going to be another diatribe about those annoying little phrases that roll off the tongue requiring the bare minimum of brainpower. I would rather concentrate on a single cliché that annoys me more than most. “Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line.” My call is important to you? What about my musical sensibilities? I was never a big fan of Dolly Parton and am now even less so, hearing the following emanate from a speaker the size of a grain of rice at 9:30 a.m.: Baby I’m burnin’ out of control. Baby I’m burnin’ body and soul. Hot as a pistol that flamin’ desire. Baby I’m burnin’, you’ve got me on fire. My call is important to you? Is that why you consolidated a bunch of call centres into one giant, understaffed call centre so that the local number I dial is routed to Tajikistan? Or it could be Mumbai or even Richmond, B.C. My call is important to you? (Oh, Dolly is done and Kenny Chesney takes the stage.) Is that why the 18-year-old expert who will eventually come on the line won’t have the slightest inkling of an idea about solving my problem? My call is important to you? Maybe so, maybe no. CCR is singing about a big wheel that keep on turnin’. Proud Mary keep on burnin’. More burnin’, and Dolly was burnin’ too, and now after 27 minutes on hold, so am I. Hey, the music stopped. Maybe my call finally is important to somebody, anybody. But in fact, the line went dead. Michael Gillgannon is the former news editor of The Western Producer and managing editor of Western People.

Mexican sweets a delicious way to remember vacation TEAM RESOURCES

e have just returned from a Mexican holiday. Our first week was in Puerto Vallarta and then we travelled by bus through the Sierra Madre Mountains to Guadalajara and onto Aguascalientes, a large industrial city in the geographic centre of Mexico. While there, we attended a friend’s wedding. The bride is from Aguascalientes. Of course, we sampled many of the tastes and flavours of Mexican food. Pineapple pie was offered at one restaurant, which was delicious. An internet search found the following recipe.
10-inch (24 cm) round. Cut into 1/2inch strips. Place five strips across filling. To make lattice top, fold back every other strip and place a crossstrip, returning folded strips to original position. Continue weaving lattice by folding back alternate strips before adding each cross-strip until lattice is complete. Trim ends of strips. Fold edge of bottom crust over ends of strips, building up a high edge to seal and flute. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Cover edge of pie with three-inch (seven cm) strip of foil to prevent excessive browning during baking. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until crust is brown and filling is bubbly, removing foil for the last 15 minutes of baking. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Adapted from allrecipes.com.

Combine flour, salt, sugar and lemon zest in a food processor, pulse to mix. Add butter and pulse six to eight times, until mixture resembles coarse meal, with pea size pieces of butter. Add ice water one tablespoon (15 mL) at a time, pulsing until mixture just begins to clump together. If you pinch some of the crumbly dough and it holds together, it’s ready. If the dough doesn’t, add a little more water and pulse again. Too much water will make the crust tough. Remove dough from food processor

Gently shape the dough mixture into two discs. Avoid overworking the dough. Little bits of butter should be visible in the dough. Sprinkle a little flour around the discs. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour and up to two days. Remove one piece of dough from the refrigerator, let sit five to 10 minutes to soften just enough to make rolling easier. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle, about 1/8 of an inch (.25 cm) thick. Add extra flour under dough to prevent sticking to the counter. Carefully place into a nine-inch (22 cm) pie plate. Gently press the dough down to line the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to trim dough to within 1/2

COURT | PROCESS
Small claims court accessible but can be lengthy process A PRAIRIE PRACTICE
GAIL WARTMAN, B.A., J.D.
Q:
I am in a dispute with my neighbour over hay bales that he bought from me. They have already been delivered and fed, but now there is an argument over quantity, quality and of course, price. I have the documentation to support my position, but my neighbour will not pay me what I am asking. Is it worth it to take it to court?
A:
Disputes such as this can be resolved through small claims court, which is set up within the Civil division of the Saskatchewan Provin-
cial Court. Claims in that court can be as much as $20,000. The Saskatchewan courts system has an excellent website at www. sasklawcourts.ca. In the small claims court section of the website, there are details about the process, commencing the claim, pursuing the claim in court and collecting the judgment if successful in court. A small claims matter begins by sending a demand letter to the person with whom you have the dispute. In most cases, you will be asking for a certain amount of money. The court clerk will l often want to see a copy. The claim can actually be drawn up at the court office with the assistance of the clerk. You will be given instructions on how to serve the claim document, called a small claims summons and a date will be set for the case management or pre-trial conference. In recent years a case management feature has been added to the small claims process because mediation
and discussion with a judge can often lead to settlement of a dispute That involves both parties coming to the court, bringing documents upon which they intend to rely, and sitting with a judge to see if settlement is possible, or at least to define the issues that will have to go to trial. If it appears that settlement is likely, the judge may reconvene for another effort at settlement. The trial is held as a usual provincial court trial, with sworn evidence and a provincial court judge presiding. However, an effort is made to keep the proceedings as informal as possible. The small claims process generally takes a number of months from the time of issuing the claim to getting a decision at court if a trial is necessary. However, it is a relatively inexpensive mechanism for resolving disputes of $20,000 or less, without the necessary formal steps that are involved in a Court of Queen’s Bench action.
Although some people choose to be represented by lawyers in the small claims process, it is set up so that individuals may navigate the process without the assistance of counsel.

DODSLAND, Sask. — Hap Bennett credits earlier generations for his family’s good life on the farm today. “We’re lucky to be a third generation farm and have an opportunity to pass it on to the fourth generation,” he said. “It’s hard to get a farm to pass on. It is a lot of co-operation and learning to bite your tongue.… Our goal when we started to farm was to pass it on without a lot of debt so the next generation could have it.” Bennett, who was nicknamed for the happy baby he was and whose real name is Ken, created two farm companies to create more options for managing the farm. He and his w ife, L orna, grow canola, peas, lentils and cereals on 2,300 acres in west-central Saskatchewan, depending on what looks like a good money earner. They own 16 quarters and rent three. He called last year one of his best crops ever, thanks to timely rain. They also maintain 300 acres of
pasture for a 25-cow bison herd. Bennett put the saline land into grass and has found the buffalo are a good way to use it. Bennett’s maternal grandparents, Charles and Florence Henderson, established the farm and barn in 1910. The house was originally built in 1912 but has since been significantly refurbished. Charles, a newspaper publisher and member of Parliament in the 1940s, created a large corporate farming venture with partners, and today’s Bennett farm is part of what remains of that original venture. Lorna, a former manager with Federated Co-operatives Ltd., joined Hap on the farm after their marriage. The couple has taught Farming to Win courses, and Lorna has served on the Agricultural Management Institute board. The photography buff is also known for taking hockey portraits at the local rink. Hap is a director with the Prairie West Terminal and has served on the Dodsland Credit Union board and as

a rural municipality councillor. Lorna called such community involvement professional development and a chance to meet people who in turn have offered them advice, support and expertise. “It helps when you see the broader picture. You can make better decisions.” Hap said his off-farm work in past winters for the Farm Land Security Board benefited the farm. “It made the difference between having a really nice life here and not being here.”
He said his parents also “gave him a heck of a start.” He started farming after high school and bought his first farmland at age 20. “I was always going to farm,” he said. He likes fixing things, but finds that difficult to do with today’s specialized implements that require specific tools and training. Lorna said farming and her husband are a good fit. “He likes to be in control of his own decisions, and be accountable for the decisions and mistakes,” she said. The farm acquired bison at the “worst time,” Hap conceded. The couple compensated for poor markets and prices by slaughtering and selling animals from the farmgate and by supplying the local rink and fundraising ventures. The market has since improved, and they now sell live yearlings. The pair took the long, cautious road to farmland and equipment
expansion. They preferred to take on what they could manage well, but were quick to add innovations such as variable rate applications and GPS. “We’d rather do a really good job of fewer acres,” said Lorna. Added Hap: “There was lots more we could have bought, but we would rather have a neighbour than have his land.” The Bennetts have managed with help from their three children: Jeff, 26, Shannon, 24 and Erica, 21, all of whom have expressed an interest in farming one day. The Bennetts welcome that development, as a segue to slowing down and tackling more world travel, such as a recent visit to Africa and an upcoming trip to Peru. “The world is such a big place and you learn everywhere you go,” said Lorna. “We came home from Africa and felt so fortunate to live here.”

LOOKING BACK | 1930S
Farmers banked on crops even in tough times Depression challenges | No. 1 wheat priced at 54 cents, barley at 25 cents, beef at 10 to 12 cents per pound BY GINA ROSS FREELANCE WRITER
History often repeats itself. Reading my dad’s diaries from the summer of 1930, I discovered our family farm near Lloydminster, Sask., had a good supply of rain mingled with sunny days. On the strength of the promised yield, my dad, Elliot Walker, bought a new Model A Ford light delivery truck for $700, with payments to be made after harvest. In September, the rains continued. October brought more rain and a blizzard mid-month. By the beginning of November, people were trying to thresh even though the grain graded tough and there were no grain dryers then. One field of our wheat yielded more than 45 bushels per acre with a Number 6 grade. On Dec. 12, Dad noted low prices for No. 1 at 54 cents in Winnipeg and oats and barley at 25 cents. Locally, there was no sale for any grain. On Dec. 13, he attended a local school trustees meeting to consider closing the rural schools because of financial difficulties. Low grain prices and the lack of markets meant farmers could not pay their taxes. Teachers were working for room and board with a promise of being paid next year. Nurses were essentially working as volunteers at the local hospital. It sounds drastic but farmers always held out hope for next year. In the meantime, every farm had a productive garden, plus a supply of berries, both wild and tame, which supplied enough produce for winter use. We also had our own animals to slaughter. A few dollars might be earned by selling an animal locally, if a buyer could be found. Dad wrote about selling a pig to the butcher for 5.5 cents per pound. Farm slaughtered beef sold for 10 cents per lb. for a front quarter and 12 cents per lb. for a hind. Barter was common between neighbours. An item was sold at a stated price but no money changed hands. Later, sometimes much later, the price was redeemed by a purchase.
“My mom gets a note from the teacher every day. I’ll be glad when her subscription runs out.”
There were no notes signed, just simply a gentlemen’s agreement. The winter of 1930-31 was mild with comparatively little snow. By February, 1931, Dad noted a few people had sold barley at 21 cents and oats at 17.5 cents per bushel. The grain was shipped by car load to areas that had been dried out the
previous summer, with the government and railroad splitting the freight costs. This deal was far above market price, he wrote. Spring arrived and “next year” began. The new truck was paid for as promised after har vest, which occurred just prior to spring seeding.

Chinese keep yin and yang in balance Treating root problem | Ailment is determined by checking pulse rate and examining tongue BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
BEIJING, China — The Tong Ren Tang Pharmacy lies in a nondescript building in the middle of a busy city block. A nearby sign advertises “homely food,” an example of imperfect English translations in this culture that was developed thousands of years ago. The street cacophony of rumbling buses and car horns is muted once visitors step inside and inhale the scent of herbs and potions being sorted, ground and encapsulated in the ground floor pharmacy, busy this day with mostly Chinese clientele. Upstairs, Dr. Nie, a pharmacist and professor of Chinese medicine, agrees to speak with visitors about treatment philosophies that underpin the ancient remedies. Tong Ren Tang Pharmacy is more than 340 years old, which seems ample indication that its prescribed treatments are effective. Given the

the palm and the back of the head. Massage and acupuncture are based on outer connections with inner meridians. Chinese medicine also concentrates on treating the root problem rather than the symptoms, said Nie. “The hospital can only check out and treat the disease (you have) already. They don’t know what’s really wrong and in some cases they don’t know how to help.” That doesn’t mean Nie is dismissive of Western medicine. On the contrary, he says he often recommends a combination of Chinese and Western treatments to his patients. However, he does say treating symptoms is too common. A better understanding of person’s yin and yang balance can lead to a permanent cure. As Nie explains it, yin governs a person’s nutrition and how the body makes use of food and drink. Yang governs the organs and their function. Good health results from a balance between the two. In this clinic, Chinese medicine practitioners feel a patient’s pulse in both wrists and sometimes examine the tongue. Nie said their training allows them to differentiate as many as 28 different pulse types that indicate the root cause of an ailment. “Any organ not right, it will reflect in pulse,” said Nie. Some ailments have their cause in several organs, he added. Diabetes, which the Chinese call “the British trouble,” is related not only to the pancreas and its insulin production, but also to the spleen, liver and kidney, Nie said. Herbal medicine tends to have fewer side effects than Western medicines, and treatment is likely to be of shorter duration — three or four months compared to indefinite periods for some Western treatments. It may also cost less, although Nie said loss of habitat in China has made various herbs scarce and thus more expensive. Some remedies also

include animal, mineral and chemical substances. Nie said age-related ailments are a result of poor nutrition stemming from decreased levels of organ function. The kidneys and spleen figure prominently in his explanations for many health problems. He said Chinese medical treatments were widely shared only in the 1980s, and their popularity has since spread. He mentions with pride that the late Princess Diana’s insomnia was successfully treated with Chinese medicine and that Chinese doctors personally delivered the remedies. A swarm of white-coated pharmacists descend on the group after Nie’s talk. They check pulses, examine tongues and ask questions using interpreters. In several cases, they identify previous or existing health issues that have bothered some people in the group, without being specifically told about them. Recommendations are made. The remedies are available downstairs if visitors choose and have a sufficient amount of yuen.
